Renortlng Rev. Philllns Rrool,s.

The swiftest of English shorthand writ
ers, Thomas Allen Reed, thus describes
bis attempts to report the sermons of Rev.
| Phillips Brooks, now preechingin England /:
have never, in long and varied expe-
rlence, listened to a public orator, whether
IN the pulpit, on the platform, or even in
! law Court, where perhaps the fastest speak
ing is heard, who kept up such q contin-
ueus, uninterrupted flow of rapid articula-
ton. However large the building, the
speed OF delivery is the same. Even the
opening sentences, which many habitually
rapid speakers will utter quite deliberately,
are jerked out with the most provoking
glibness, and the reporter no sooner puts
pen to paper than he finds himself dashing
forward helter-sselter, his energies taxed to
the utmost to get up and maintain the
necessary speed. he is eagerly expecting
the end OF the first sentence, where he nat
urally anticipates pause. Vain expecta-
ton The full stop is a grammatical ex-
PRESTON At has no reality for the speaker
or the writer One sentence ended the

Having recently had occasion to report
Mr.. Brooks. | have had the curiosity to
note his exact speed. The sermons were
accurately timed (by two watches in each
case}, and the words as they appeared in
the printed report in the Christian World
Pulpit, were carefully counted. One ser
mon, preached at Caterham, lasted thirty
five minutes, and the average rate of speed
came out at 1914 words per minute. But in
a sermon preached al Westminster Abbey
Mr.. Brooks exceeded even the rate of the
Caterham sermon. Notwithstanding the
size of the abbey. and the effort needed to
articuiate with sufficient distinctness to be
heard, the sermon, which lasted thirty
minutes, came out 213 words per minute.
repeat, then, if any aspiring young short
hand writer wishes to meet a foeman
worthy of his steel Tor any other) pen or
pencil, let him take an opportunity of at
lacking the Rev. Phillips Brooks. of Boston.

encounter he will find the taking of a !

Diseases OF Wine.

The cryptogam Nycoderfna acesi, makes
wine into vinegar; its congenor, Aycs6erma
siai. which lives on new young wine, fades
and withers in old aud does no harm.
When, however, wine "spurtsn in the
barrel, is turbid to the eye, and fiat to the
taste-when, poured into a glass, crown
of small bubbles rises to the top, and when.
slightly shaken, silky little waves move
about in all directions then a minute fila
ment, about the thousandth part of a mill
imeter in diameter, of variable length and
extreme tenacity, has made its appearance.
In large quantities this organism forms a
glutinous deposit at the bottom of the
cask. producing carbonic acid, which spoils
the wine. The disease of turbid, spurted.
and spoiled wine is fermentation, caused by
an organism-a ferment-originally exist
ing on the surface of the grape, where also
exists the organism which causes the order
~ and vinous fermentation. Ali red wines,
especially the finest of the Cote dor,
are subject to this disease, which
makes them bitter and unfit to
drink. White wines, on the contrary,
are exempt from this but are subject TO
another disease, called maladie de Ia drGisse.
They, too, become turbid but where the
red are bitter, these are flat, insipid and
vicious. The nialddie de Ia graisse is due to
q Harmonious organism like that which
makes red wine squirt; but the two differ
IN structure and physiological action The
remedy in either case is to kill the organ
ism by heat. One minutes heating at the
proper temperature is enough to preserve
the wine from all the diseases caused by
fermentation. This heating in no wise al
fects the most delicate bouquet of the most
delicate vintage, and though experts at
first professed to detect shade of differ
ence in the flavor between the heated and
the unheated wines, when they had de-
tected a like shade between two glasses
poured out of the same bottle they con-
fessed their defeat, and Pasteur's remedy

INSANITY IN THE UNITED SrATEs.-Sta-
tistics recently published show that in
1860 the number of insane persons was
only 24,042 Five years later it reached
81, 432, and by 1880 treatment was required
for 1859 lunstics. The increase of insan-
ity during the years from 1870 to 1880 was
nearly $50 per cent, while that of the total
population was only about 26 per cent
These figures, however, do not represent
the natural increase, for during the above
period large number Of lunatics previously
concealed were brought into public notice
by more thorough investigation In addi-
ton to the several large county asylums in
the United States there are 80 State and 10
private institutions for the care of the in
sane, with q proper capacity for about 40
000 but containing So 1872 insane persons.
thus leaving 10000 lunatics to be cared for
elsewhere The proportion of insane is
greatest IN New England. but the increase
has been most rapid in the Western States.
In the State of New York alone there are
IS institutions for the cure of these unfor-
tunate people, accommodating 1913
patients, while it is said that there are at
least 1000 provided for at home.

TEmPRRIye srEEB.-To be able to prop
erly temper steel springs and implements
may be considered a gift similar to that
possessed by the poet born" A man
whose business in certain tool shop was
to temper springs, worked q, 600 consecu-
lively, and of the number only six failed to
pass the test; but during his temporary
illness more than half the springs handled
by his assistant, who has been under
instruction a year. failed. In a large man
ufactory of sword blades one man does all
the tempering, being called in from other
employment at intervals, because, al
though he has. always been willing to
instruct others he has never had pupil
who could equal him in the work. There
is large scythe mandatory in New
England town making II 600 dozen scythes
a year, and the president of the company
has for years hardened and tempered every
scythe that leaves the works because no
other man in the works can do it so well.

straight instead OF being shaped to the calf.

new materials seem to have been introduced.

widespread diagonal seems likely to be
fashionable. In neck-wear the folded scarf

EATING LENoNs.-Most people know the
benefit of eating lemons before breakfast.
but few know that it is more than doubled
by taking them at night also. The way to
get the better of q bilious system without
blue pills or quinine is to take the Juice of
one, two or three lemons, as appetite
Graves, in as much ice water as makes it
pleasant 10 drink without sugar before go
ing to bed. In the morning, on rising, at
least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in glass of water.
This will clear the system of humor and
bile with efficiency, without any of the
weakening effects of calomel or congress
water. People should not irritate the stom-
ach by eating lemons clear; the powerful
acid OF the juice, which is almost always
corrosive, invariably produces inflammation
after awhile, but properly diluted, SO that
it does not burn or draw the throat, it does
its medical work without harm, and, when
the stomach Is clear of food, has abundant
opportunity to work over the system
thoroughly.
