1t is almost too much to hope that the
structures of Lady John Manners on the
cNtravagant scale Of living INDUCED in
by the wealthy classes of English soci-
ETY. the prodigality of their entertain
mcntS and the profusion of their cNpcn-
diturcs upon feminine apparel will
have any marked effect upon the evils
She deplorcs and upon the scnsolcs,
luxury she is mNiolS To ahate; for these
evils are universal and deeply seated.
They are just rs fragrant in the United
! states as III the mother country in the
| Australian colonies rs i'm America. True
| hospitality is being killed hv ustenta-
ton. Social enjoyment has been re-
placed by an emulation of costly dis
! play. An evening party has become a
! drtSsmaker's and jewelers. showroom,

destitute of ideas, and her heart may Ice
as empty aS her head; but what mattersY
She Is sumptuously clothed, aud that is
the summum bonum OF human life i'm
her estimation, Her vocabulary is very
limited. She says; "Nou are awmlly
good and sit is too lovely" and fen
stcrcotyped expressions of that kind:
but then, her credit with those who pro-
vide the poor bird with its gaudv plum
age Is unlimited; and the rest is ofsmall
account. AS for dinner parties, they are
occasions for heavy feeling, and not for

UnexplOred and Unknown.

The English are beginning in vague
way to realize the magnitude of India,
and to comprehend that it contains
some fifty millions more people than all
Europe west of the Vistula. Few, how
ever, are quite aware of the number of
its cities, or believe that it includes
sixty-two with more than SO, 900 people,
and twenty-five with more than 100, 900;
namely; Bombay, Calcutta, Madras,
Hydrabad, Lucknow. Benares, Delhi,
Patna, Agra, Bangalore, Umritsur,
Cawnpore, Lahore, Allahabad, Jevpore.
Rangoon, Poona, Ahmedabad, Bareilly,
Surat, Howra, and Baroda We give
them in order of population, but, prop
erly speaking, in the English way of
counting, Howra, the Southwork of
Calcutta, should be included in the
capital, which with it contains above
866,0 souls, and is the greatest, as it
is by far the wealthiest city in the en-
pire. Below the limit of $4,000 the
towns become more numerous, and
there are hundreds with populations
above 10000. The majority of the
latter are quite unknown to Europeans,
an active magistrate or two excepted;
and so far as we are aware. there is no
book in England which gives the
slightest account of their organization,
or of the life and people in them. Yet
many of them have histories of two
thousand years, and in all flourish
families which think themselves noble,
and have long pedigrees and stirring
tales to narrate. We hear every now
and then much of Indian princes who
in India are hardly mentioned, and of
educated natives" scarcely percep-
tible class, but of the true british
India as little is known at home as of
the eastern provinces of Peru.-L0ndon

A Natural Kinder.

The Hydroeelice gstn1mitera grows in
the Falkland Islands, as we'll as in
TERRA del Fuego, and is known as the
''gum plant because of a viscous sub
stance it exudes in large quantities;
this sap is called ''balsam, and is used
by the natives of the countries where it
is found as a poultice for wounds But
its most important property, in their
eyes, is the ease with which it can be
set on fire, even when green and grow
ing-a matter of no slight consequence
in regions where rain falls five days
out of every six. In the Falkland
Islands, where there are no trees, the
natives often roast their beef over fire
of bones-the very bones of the animal
from which, but the moment before, the
meat itself was stripped-and they use
the gum-plant to kindle this fire

History Repeating Itself.

Away back in the dead centuries of
the Middle Ages there was an Emperor
of Germany who long and loudly braved
the pretensions of one of the sternest
and boldest men who ever filled the
Papal office. After long and weari-
some quarrel, ending in the excommun-
ication of the Emperor by the Pope
and in the destruction of the LOYALTY of
his subjects, the German warrior was
at last compelled to make a journey to
an Alpine castle in which the Pope was
then temporarily soiourning. The OBJ
ject of this imperial visit was to get alb
solution for his disobedience and resto-
ration to his temporal powers. 1t was
in the dead of winter. Arrived at the
castle, which was called Canosa, the
Emperor was compelled to wait in the
bitter cold for hours, but the object of
his visit was achieved by humiliating
apologies and solemn promises to do
better in the future and never to dis
obey the Pope, who in those days was
throughout all Christendom held
to be above kings, princes and
emperors, as these were above
the common people. When Bismarck,
few years ago, was resolved or resolv-
ing on State policy for the new Ger
man empire, antagonistic to the fixed
policy of Rome, he was reminded of
this event in the history of the old Ger
man empire and warned by one of the
WindthOrst or Ultramontane members
of the Reichstag that history sometimes
repeats itself. Strong in his own con-
victions and contemptuous of those who
opposed his plans, the Chancellor re-
torted curtly: "We are not going to
Canosa" The curtness and plumpness
OF the retort brought him the laugh for
the time but there were those even then
who remembered the maxim: ''He
laughs bestwho laughs last y Bismarck's
fight with the last and the present Pope
has has been longer than that of Henry
". with the old man of Canosa, and
now the world is beholding in
something like astonishment a SINH
lar ending of it in the visit of
the Prince VINO is soon to become
the Emperor of Germany to Pope Leo
Kill, not at Canosa, indeed, nor yet in
the outwordly ignominous plight of
Henry; but considering the difference
in the manners and civilization of the
times. much in the same spirit The
whole world will recognize this visit as
"a going to Canosa;" an acknowledge
ment on the part of the great Chancellor
that he was at fault in his policy
wherein it was insulting te Rome and
