AS rule. the young English girls
that one meets in society have as little
to say as have the French society dam
sells, though they are by no means kept
under such severe restraint. 1t has
been suggested that the French girls
say nothing because they are not per-
mtted to speak, while the English girls
say nothing because they have nothing
to say. They are very sweet, simple
and modest, but they lack sparkle and
entrain most wofully. English girls,
too, are in general far less brilliantly
educated than are their American con-
temporaries. There is very little seri-
Gus devotion to literature or accom-
phhments, such as one sees in the more
literary circles of America, among the
younger members of society. The am
ateur singers, for instance, are too dire
and dreadful to be even named in the
same breath with the usual run of our
girl-muscians. In many instances,
voice, time, and tune are altogether
lacking and yet the vocalist will placid
Iy MARBLE straight through the innumer-
able verses of ballad, or attack diff
cult Italian aria with the serene convic-
ton that the whole affair is passing of
admirably. How is she to know that
it is not?-there is nobody among her
hearers to enlighten her. On the other
hand, they have much taste in fancy
work, and English homes are PRETTY
decorated with satin cushions, mantel
piece draperies, ETC., painted by hand
in water-colors s.assiti ne ....ss,s telieate
embroideries, the handiwork of the
ladies of the family. But as to either
intellectual or artistic employments,
they are far less addicted to them than
our own young girls. They ride well
and are devoted to lawn-tennis and
other outdoor games, and in the main
are healthy, happy race, physically
superb, but lacking mental brilliancy
and charm. 1t is perhaps for this rea-
son that the married state in England
differs so widely from the same institu-
ton in America. Here it is a monarchy,
while with us it is republic. The En-
glish husband is an autocrat and adj
mits of no discussion respecting his
DEGREES. The household and its move
ments are regulated to suit his whims
and convictions, and his wife and
daughters must shape their actions
accordingly. But there is plenty of
warm mutual love manifested between
husbands and wives in England. and
so matrimony here far more resembles
the same institution with us than does
the welded state in France.-Londo1a

Salt for the Throat.

In these days when diseases of the
throat prevail, I would advise those
afflicted to try my remedy-common
salt.
For the past two years have suffered
more or less with very disagreeable
pricking sensation in my throat, as
though it had splinters in it, and faucied
at some time or other had swallowed
a pin or a lawyer fish story, and one
of the bones had remained sticking in
my throat. Determined to ascertain,
if possible, the cause Of my trouble, |
called to my aid my medical works,
which are by no means limited, and
under the head of throat diseases found
it to be laryngitis, which alarmed me
not q little. A friend advised me to
use strong salt water as gargle,
which Ihave done the past two months,
and my throat is well. put a heap
ing teaspoonful of cease salt Oliver
pooD in tumbler of erand gargled
my throat thoroughly three times a
day, before each meal, and the last
thing on going to bed, and in addition
to that, doubled linen handkerchief
twice, four thicknesses, wet it with the
salt water and pinned it around my
throat, placing over that two thick
nesses of dry flannel.
A friend told me that she ALWAYS
broke up cold in that way, and by
smiling little up her nose.
The gargle is not unpleasant to the
taste. | also use it diluted to battle my
eyes. 1t is very Strengthening, and if
it is good for the throat it must be good
for the eyes also.
For the benefit of those who have not
medical work in their library | will
copy in brief from mine the symptoms
of chronic laryngitis. at often COM
mences with slight hoarseness and ir-
ritation of the throat, frequent hem
ming or raising of scanty mucus and a
slight cough. As the disease progresses
these symptoms increase. In the ear
lier stages the voice is uncertain and
often breaks in singing or loud speak
ing. Later, liberation takes place,
generally marked by pain in the throat,
as if from a sharp-pointed body; the
discharge becomes offensive; portions
of lymph, cartilage and even ossitic
matter are emitted. There is usually
soreness Of the larynX on pressure and
from inhalation of cold air. 1t forms
the so-called ministers sore throat, and
presents every grade of severity down
to the most inveterate forms of laryn-
geal consumption.-Her of Health

1t is said larger crop of apples is
raised when a hive OF bees is stationed
in the orchard. The bees visit every
flower, busily flying from one to an
other, and then passing to an adjoining
tree. The pollen on their bodies is
rubbed against the pistils of myriads of
flowers, which become fortified in this
way. Many of the strange modilica-
tons in the form CT flowers are due to
insects, the transfer of pollen from diff
ferent varieties resulting in hybrids.--

In selecting flour first look to the
color. If it is white with a yellowish
straw-cclor tint, buy it. If it is white
with blush cast or with black spccks
in it, refuse it. Next examine its ad.
hesiveness. Wet and knead q little
of it between your fingers; if it works
soft and sticky, it is poor, Then throw
a little lump of dried flour against 4
smooth surface; if it falls like dried
powder, it is bad. Lastly, squeeze sore
of the flour tightly in your hand; if il
retains the shape given by the pressure
that, too, is bad sign. 1t is safe to
buy flour that will stand all these tests.
These modes are given by all old flour
dealers, and they pertain to a matter
that concerns everybody .-HealM and

Modifying Nature.

Speaking of rains recalls the fact
that the dry and arid regions of this
country are steadily diminishing. As
the cultivation of the American soil
extends, the area upon which rain falls
enlarges, In California, seasons of
drought when wheat could not be
grown were formerly frequent, but of
late years there has been no failure
of the small grain crops from this
cause. Then the number of days in
which rain falls has increased.
Formerly rain rarely fell later than
April, but this year rain storms of great
violence occurred rs late as June.
Rain also now falls often in western
Kansas, where formerly it was very
unfrequent. 1t is supposed the extern
sion of telegraph and railway lines has
something to do with transformations
in districts heretofore arid.

The Legal Tender Decision.

The bankers don't like it. The mon
ey kings are annoyed and troubled be-
cause the prerogative they deemed
theirs alone, the tight to control the
life-blood of the American industry
lmoLey,, should be interfered with by
the declaration of the highest authority
in the land that the right of declaring
the notes of the Government to be
legal tender belongs to the representa-
tives of the people in Congress.
These enraged gamblers want to
change the decision Of the Supreme
Court, and are seeking to have new
amendment to the Constitution passed
that will annul the late decision.
We feel that We can safely predict
that this question is settled for oil time,
and that no party in this country will
be found willing to incur the response
bility Of fighting the experience and in
tentions of the fathers OF this Repub-
lie on the currency question, and that
the sooner the test be made on the POI
sition defined by the Supreme Court
the sooner will this fact be made plain.
The right to make MOTHS legal tender,
to declare what shall be money, resides
with the people, and it should never be
left in the power OF any special class to
control the issue or the limit of the
standard of value. That has been made
clear by the clearest heads in our ma.
ton, and we shall publish the decision
IN erte'aso next week. Irish World.
