The thrift and industry of the Frencl

The thrift and industry of the French
women in a bourgeois family is charac-
terized by Margaret Bertha Wright in
The Atlantic as "an unintellectual, mar
:ow system, involving a wearing-out of
luman brains and strength in a cease
less struggle to stretch a pound OF meat
to the utmost limit of its nourishing
tenuity, to extort it's last fibre of wear
ing capacity froma yard of cloth. Body
and soul were bent to the ignoble bust
ness of mere living, and it was pitiable
to know what artistic inclinations and
deal inspirations we're crushed QUO I'M
Ter this Juggernaut of economy.

There is a woman in Cleveland called
Singer" Lewis. She claims to be
he champion female prize fighter of
che country. She desires an early OPP
portunity Of knocking out any living
woman for 81 ZOO. This is another il
~lustration of how women are fast mo-
nopolizing the callings heretofore exclu-
sively in the hands OF the males. It
will get 50 after y while that the men
will have to get married in order to be
supported.

Rev. DR.. A. A. Miner, of Bostt

Rev. DR.. A. A. Miner, of Boston, has
enjoyed the somewhat rare privilege Of
seeing seven generations of his family,
all but one "a child born six months ago),
at the old homestead in New Hamp-
shire. In his childhood eight of his
grandparents and great-grandparents
lived in Lempster, Sullivan county, N.
H., at the same time, five in one house
and three in another. DR.. Miner is of
the seventh generation from Thomas
Miner, the common ancestor of the
Miners in this country, who came to
Boston with the elder Winthrop in 1880.

between these extremes which stand in d.

An ILLINITABLE CURRENCY.


An illimitable currency is the first step
toward confusion in the finances, disorder
in prices, uncertainty in employments, dis
ssters in the general business which shall or
may so become the football of politicians
and the machine movement of thu spects-
tors. Can the Greenbacker and Republican
both be honest and economic supporters of
the truth in politics and both pull at the
same end of the roper An ilimitable cur
reney is the first step towards national in
sOlyency, for if there is not firm power of
limitation somewhere in the nature of the
currency itself, which heretofore we all had
supposed was fixed by the constitution itself
in gold and silver until this popular delusion
was rudely destroyed BY the late decision of
q Republican Supreme Court Of the United
States; there is no limit anywhere, and the
present fusion Of politicians who sacrifice
principle to ambition, sel6shness and per
sonsl and party success will be the preee-
dent for that ilEmitable currency which this
Republican court has said is legal / repeat,
an ilhmitable currency is the FIRST step to all
confusion in business, to all the disasters of
trade, TO unsettle all wholesome operations
Of tariff, and finally to national insolvency
This has been more than once exempi6ed
in the history Of nations, and as was
made manifest BY John Laws celebrated
bubble banking system BY the wild cot
banks of this country from 1914 to 1875, BY
the ruin Of thousands BY the revulsion
of 1925 BY the continental cur
rency, and by the Asignats. and Mandates
of the French Republic. Where shall We
stop-where can we stop. when public men
sacrifice principle, and when the highest
court Of the land, acting in concert with
such men, has destroyed all limitation upon
their svarice and sel6shness?
ALL INTERESTS UNITE FOR A JUnIcIoUS TARIFF.
1t Isl sound principle of human conduct
that every man desires TO. and has the right
to sell his labor and its products Of the
farm or elsewhere in the highest market,
and to buy what. he wants in the lowest.
This comes as near stating universal
principle that viii incite to industry and

Then I'm a ruined man
Photographing a singers Larynx.


Americans have been for years past &C
quiring a very brilliant reputation abroad.
And now comes to the front a Brooklyn
doctor, Mr.. 7. r. French, who has managei
10 do what nobody could do before
photograph the human larynx when in
action. DIR. Leuuox Brown, Of London
has obtained some photographs of pro-
tessional singers isryuN while in the act OF
singing. He made even a photograph of
the chords when they were producing
falsetto notes. But he succeeded in doing
it in this particular case, which the singer,
possessing an unusually unirritable throat,
did his best TO help him in his experiments
Mr.. French, on the other hand, managed,
by the use of kind of pistol camera and a
maguifying glass, to attain photographs OF
all kinds OF threats healthy as well as i'll
firm, irritable as wellas unirritable, working
as well as at rest. The great point was to
catch the impre; sion as quickly as possible,
and, By means of this pistol camera, he
managed to snap impressions Of deep inspir,
ations, as well as eXpirstions, OF contralto
SOPRANO and all kinds of deep and high
notes. He obtained even impressions Of
the posterior mares, so difficult Of access in
q living being.

there was slightly drawn expression Of the
ccunienance. This was recorded, and be
resumed bis reading.
At9:sO he uncovered the face and was
astonished to see that the lips were slightly
parted and that he could Just see the teeth
between them. This was also recorded,
and he sat down and tried to read. but
could think OF nothing but the parted hips.
AT 10 O clock be was good deal excited
when he got up to make his observations;
his hand trembled as he drew back the cover
from the face, and he was Mortified to lind
that one hand had moved from Its position,
that the eyes were half open and thrown
back, and that there was
A CHASTITY Grin on the Face.
He tried to detect any movement OF the
face, but had not the nerve to watch. When
he sat down be imagined that he heard
movement behind him, but could not look
around. He loDged for 1880 o'clock, and
yet felt that he could not uncover that nor
iible object again. The half hour seemed
to come all too quickly, and with fierce
determination he looked toward the table
and saw that the body had moved.
Almost fainting with terror, and YET
neryed by the remembrance OF his promise,
he drew away the sheet. Great drops OF
uerspiration stood out on his forehead as
he saw the corpse had raised itself to its
elbows, the hands clenched, the grin more
horrible than before, and the eyes wide open
and staring wildly across the room. Al
though almost parslyzed with fear, he faith
fully recorded what he saw, but could not
look longer; il was too terrible. Then he
sat down, and for half an hour his blood
was chilled by hearing regular movements
behind him. He would have given worlds
10 look around, and could only restrain
himself with the greatest difficulty.
Eleven o'clock finally came, and, with a
great effort, he arose to perform his duty;
as he turned around he saw the body slowly
gliding from the table toward him. Though
terrified beyond expression, and almost
crazed with fright, he either became the
brave man that he had always been, or was
driven to desperation. for he seized chair
and made for the subject" which gave a
veil and rushed to the door just as the
other students burst in ana congratulated
him on his wonderful nerve. He at once
saw that he had been the victim OF practi
cal Joke and was himself again in a few
minutes.
They had paid an actor of some note to
simulate the corpse, and he almost spoiled
the fun BY sneezing.

america, accepted the hospitality of
Gentleman in New York. When taking
arewell TO his host, the latter asked him
what be thought of the American people.

them immensely, but ] mias something
What is that asked the Yankee.

Englishman.
What are they naively asked his
host.
The aristocracyw said the nobleman, in
somewhat surprised tone of voice, why,
, hey are people who do nothing, you know;
whose grandfathers did nothing, you know
in fact"
Here he was interrupted by the American,
who chimed in with:
"Oh! we've plenty of them over here; but
Se don't call them aristocracy-we call
hem tramps.'

THE MINCE PIE.
A Perpetual Mystery to All But the
Cooks.

A Perpetual Mystery to All But the
Cooks.
Baltimore american
p As the winter steals upon US, so do the
mince pies. The mellow gold OF the
pumpkin is fading, and the fierce heat aud
stimulus of the miuce meat is necessary to
warm up the blood, which congeals under
the influence of the frost. The man who
has heretofore leaned back and rejoiced In
the possession Of three or four yellow wedges
which he has disposed in his central station,
will soon occupy his time after dinner as he
goes down to the lodge with the exciting
occupation OF trying to pry raisn seed
from between two molars with a gloved fin
ger. The mince pie is upon us. 1t autters
down and alights complacently in our home
steads. 1t dragS its leaden crust into the
depot restaurants, and it twitters exultantly
before us as we look upon the broad ex-
panse of the lunch counters.
A great many people eat miuce pies, but
there are not great many who know how
they are built. The old Virginia house
keeper. when she wishes to make glad the
hearts of her guests, gets the leaf and kid
uey lat from a wellgrown, corn-fed bullock,
which she chops fine. Then she gets lot
Of raisins and currants, which
are washed and picked. Then she gets
some citron and slices that up fine, likewise
some apples. She mixes this up with a
dust Of flour, proper amount OF granulated
sugar. and after handsomely chucklng In
couple of branded peaches, chopped up,
she pours in enough French brandy to make
the whole mess Jolly. These ingredients
are we'll stirred together. Now for the
pastry This is the hardest part. The
hour must be mixed with ice water, some
powdered crackers are to be added, and
after it is kneaded into dough and worked
hard with the fists, it is rolled out Hat and
Jumps of lard are plowed into it with the
thumb. These Jumps OF lard are worked
into the dough ad infnitum. If too much
is put in, however, the crust is too greasy
and brittle. 1t must be dry and iaky.
Now put a layer of dough in tin pan, fiat
ten it down, slice away the jagged edges,
and in goes the mince meat. Now, then,
another layer of dough on top; press it
down around the rim; decorate it with cuts
according to artistic fancies, and bake in a
quick oven. There you have your real
mince pie. 1t is conducive to nightmares
and whole Buffalo Bill show of broncho
horses at least; but should the mince meat
be carelessly slung together, should the
raisins and eurrants be too few, the suet too
gross, the brandy too bad, the "chuck too
base, or the pastry too sad, beware Of the
mince pie. 1t biteth like the adder, aud
maule,h the consumer like unto trip-ham-

Into this was placed catfish, the one ne

fish benumbed il.
Then it was eleetricT' said the writer.
Certainly was the reply. The fish
was the common electric catfish, common
in African rivers. When first taken they
give quite powerful shock, something like
that deceived IRON these machines and
when examined they show quite CON-
pliCsted battery.
The next morning, continued the
traveller, 81 made some inquiries and l
found that the catfish was a sort OF African
soothing syrup and given to babies quite
regularly or any one else who happened to
need dose. As soon as a native child
began TO complain tub or vessel of water
VAS brought out and several of the fish
caught if they were not on hand and the
child made to get into it and play with the
FISH. Not only do they do this to cure the
sick, but in some tribes the mother, when
washing their infants in the morning, In
yariably make them take q shock BY touch
ing the fish. This, they said, made the
baby grow to strong man. The children,
however, objected to i, and the squalhug
and screaming when the little fishes were
brought out was something appalling. The
children are also made to drink the water
in which the fish have been and, finally,
the fish itself is eaten, so that the remedyis
a vertiable cure-all. and can be taken eN-
ternally or internally as the case may be.
1T is curious to note that the old Greeks
and Romans used the torpedo in the same
way. and even the water that surrounded 1t
vas supposed to conan the means Of
miraculous cure This was the primitive
electric cure that has developed into the
artificial battery of to-day"
