In the parlor. there spend
Half an hour in social converse

For our leisure must be spent
Listening to a gentle maiden
Playing on an Instrument.
Playing thare and widely warbling-
Filling every heart with woe

As the notes rise shrin n high.

HEALTH HINTS.


Il Is said that excessive tea-drinking
causes neuralgia.
A pleasant remedy for cough is
lemon honey. 1t is made of the Juice Of
three lemons, one pound of sugar, quarter
of pound of butter and six eggs. The
mixture is boiled and taken hot.
Lumbago may be quickly velieved by
binding piece of oil skin cloth, such as
is used to cover tables, over the loins,
outside of the flannel shirt. Profuse
perspiration is produced, which rapidly
relieves the pain.
1t is said by the following simple
method almost instant relief of earache
is afforded. Put five drops of chloroform
on little cotton or wool in the bowl Of
clay pipe, then blow the vapor through
the stem into the aching ear.
You cannot cure corns with acids and
such liquids, said corn doctor recently
to Pittsburg reporter They do more
injury than good. The only proper
remedy is to remove the corn. Corns are
caused 10y the stoppagc of the circulation
of blood by pressure, and then the skin
becomes callous at the point of pressure.
You could raise a corn on the back of
your hand by stopping the circulation,
but many corns come by inheritance.
The children of prominent politician
and an eX-mayer came here to get their
corns removed, and they can be account
ed for only on the score of inheritance.

Orlgin of the Conscience Fund.

The Philadelphia Records Washington
correspondent says: Every now and
then you see an announcement in the
papers to the effect that some anonymous
person has forwarded to the treasurer of
the United States at Washington a con-
tribution 10 the Conscience Fund. You
suppose from this that there is some
where in the treasury fund made up of
such contributions, which, by this time,
must be OF very considerable size. Now,
the fact is that there is no such thing
as o separate fund for the contributions
of the conscience-strcken. Such con-
tributions have always been covered into
the treasury under the head of miscel-
laneous receipts. The term Conscience
Fund" was the invention of old Treasurer
Spinner, the man with an autograph
which was autographed. Twenty years
ago, during the war, letter was one
day received at the treasury department
from a man who, enclosing check for
81, 800 said that that represented little
N appropriation of government funds OF
which he had been guilty when acting as
quartermaster in the army of the United
States. Then came the happy idea into
Spinner's handsome head. ''We'll call
that contribution to the Conscience
Fund" p" he said, "and have it announced
in the newspapers, and perhaps we'll get
some more.n The contribution to tho
conscience fund was duly announced all
over the country. The treasury depart.
ment promptly got "some more" From
that time on for ten years the contribu-
tions were very numerous. During the
past ten years they have been constantly
growing more callous or more tender.
The nomination of Blaine and the NOM
ination of Cleveland in the same year do
not help you to solution. The contri-
buttons to the conscience fund have
never been very large in amount. The
largest ever made was 81, 900, forwarded
by former internal revenue gauger in
Chicago as the amount of the bribe he
took from distillers who desired to de-
fraud the government. 1t will be seen
that none of the big thieves who have
fattened on public plunder have ever
availed themselves of this easy way of
making partial reparation.

footed and barelegged, and many with
strings of coins around their necks, the
result, perhaps, of years OF hard labor
on the plantations.
Water street, upon which the market
stands, is the business street Of George
town. 1t extends the whole length OF
the city, from the suburb of Werk-en-
Rust to the sea-wall, and for its whole
length of about two miles is bordered by
stores and extensive warehouses, which
seem to do large business. There is a
large trade here in bright-colored cali
Goes, cheap jewelry and such other arti-
cles as attract the negro aud coolie popu-
lation. The smaller stores and shops
are run by Portuguese, a people who
seem to be born pioneers, for they are
to be found, with their little stocks OF
trade, scattered all over this South
American continent; away up the rivers,
far into the interiors no place seems too
remote for them. So it is in Africa, and
in the Polynesian Islands, everywhere
the countrymen Of De Cana and Magel-
Ian lead the van of commerce and civili-
cation. The more pretentious establish
ments of Georgetown are controlled by
English and Scotch. Several of these
stores are conducted on very large
scale and do an enormous business, car
rying in stock almost everything that
luxury or necessity requires. OF course
the great trade of the colony is in sugar,
molasses and rum, immense quantities
of each Ening shipped to the United
States andto England every year. The
sugar yield last season of the three
provinces, Essequibo, Demerara and
Berbice was nearly 140,O00 hogsheads.
Running parallel to Water street is the
fashionable thoroughfare of the city,
Main street, lovely avenue, shaded by
giant moras and cottonwoods, and orna-
mented by rows of stately palms. Down
the center of the street runs a stream of
water some two or three yards in width,
in which grows the queen of lilies, the
glorious Victoria Regia, with its huge
leaves and large flowers of every shade,
from beautiful pink to the purest white
On each side of the street are the resi-
dences of "The Quality Folks" large
wooden houses, mounted on brick pillars
and surrounded by broad verandas, over
which grow, in wild profusion, creeping
plants of all cripions. There is an
other fashionable street in the city which
1 must not omit to mention, although it
has not very euphonious name. 1t is
called Brick Dam and on it are located
the government buildings and the resi-
dence of the American consul. The
buildings are made of white marble, and,
though of no very great height, present
pleasing appearance. 1t is here that
the court of policy sits and the govern
ment reigns which Trollope describes as
ga mild despotism tempered by sugar. "

GOOu and Bad Meat.

Good meat in fresh state should be
firm and elastic to the touch. The
characteristic odor of fresh meat should
be present, and the meat-tissue should
be dry, or at the most merely moist.
The appearance Of good meat is marbled,
and its action on blue litmus- paper is
acid-that is, it turns the blue paper to
a red color. Bad meat, on the other
hand, is usually extremely moist, or even
wet; it has a sodden feel, and the pres
ence of dark spots in the fat is a sus-
picious sign. The marrow of the bones,
instead of being light red in color, as in
fresh meat, is brown-tinted, and often
shows black spots. Tested by litmus-
paper, bad meat is either neutral or aka
line, and turns red litmus paper to blue,
or does not alter either red or blue test
papers. The odor of bad meat is highly
distinctive; and its color, as a rule, sus-
piciously dark. .- Chambers Journal.

The Metal Nickel.

The metal nickel mas been made fa-
miliar to nearly every one by its extensive
use in plating metallic surfaces, in which
it has largely replaced the more ex-
pensive and less durable silver In its
pure metallic form it is not very well
known, probably not so we'll as it will
be, and there are even those who claim
that it is the coming metal for uses to
which it is much better adapted than
the more expensive silver and the more
easily oxidizabe iron and steel. 1t is
safe to say that its importance in the arts
is now very generally recognized, and
that its uses are destined to be vastly
multiplied. 1t is not many years since
nickel was first separated from its i'm
purities in commercial quantities and
utilized in its pure state without alloy or
contamination by sulphur, arsenic or
other elements with which it is univer-
sally combined in its natural state. As
to its geographical distribution, it may
be said that it is found in many locai-
ties, and in various parts of the world I;
but only in a few places has it been
found in sufficient quantities and of
sufficient richness to be worked with
commercial success. The recent discov-
cries in New Caledonia IAN island lying
east of and near Australia,) have given
such importance and commercial cheap
ness to the metal as to bring it into eco
nomical uses heretofore unknown. This
locality is at present the main source of
supply to the world. The only place in
the United States where it has been extern
sively mined is at Lancaster Gap, Pa
This is the well known mine of Joseph
Wharton of Philadelphia. He Is now
the only producer of metallic nickel
in the United States. The ore from this
mine contains in bulk from one and a
half to two per cent. of nickel. 1t is worked
into a commercial state at Mr.. Wharton's
extensive works at Camden, N. j. The
important deposits Of nickel recently
found in Nevada are now attracting at
tention. These deposits are said to be
rich in oxides of nickel and cobalt. The
grade of this ore is claimed to be as high
as sixteen per cent. nickel, or nickel and
cobalt. Nickel is now worked so as to
be ductile and malleable. This is to be
viewed as a new material, a new gift to
the industrial arts, with an unknown
number of applications before it, It's
most extensive use at present in the arts
of plating, and in the production OF Ger
man silver. For coinage there has been
large demand, which is no doubt des-
tined to be greatly increased as its advan
tages and economy are better understood.
In the last twenty years it has varied in
price from 81 to ST per pound. The
price in England in 1888 was quoted Gn
a memorial to Congress) at seventy cents
per pound. In the form of anodes for pla-
ting, etc., it commands much higher
price. From 1876 to 1882 the price was
on the average upward of 81. .4Oper pound
for large contracts. The production
from the Gap mine to 1888 is estimated
at about 1000, 600 pounds. If the mines
IN Nevada turn out as expected the i'm
portation of nickel to this country will
not be necessary. Boston Herald,
