UnderclotI,inQ.

Says DIR. VIM. A. Hammond "The
chief object of underclothing is the reten-
ton of the natural heat of the body in such
way that low temperatures and sudden
changes will not affect the surface. Several
years ago ! performed some experiments
which went to show beyond any doubt that
silk is below wool in its power TO prevent
the loss of heat from the body, and very
little superior to cotton. Indeed, nothing
is in this respect preferable to wool, and of
this material oil Undertaking meant for
winter use should be made. In summer q
miature Of wool and cotton, called merino,
may be worn, but even in very hot weather
SILK rs not desirable, for it is not such o
ready absorber Of the perspiration as wool,
and allows the body TO be kept in state
not very remote from that known as par
boiled. Wool, however, taking up, as il
does, the moistures from the body, exposes
it to the atmosphere, or is eyaporated, and,
the process being cooling one, keeps the
skin from being oyerheated. No under
clothing should ever be SO thick as to pre-
vent free passage of the cutaneous exeretions
and the atmospheric air. The skin requires
ventilation as do the lungs. Chamois-skin
under-garments, perforated or upper
forated, are denominations.

Work of Grent MrItors.

In literature greatness must be achieved.
It is never thrust upon " any writer. The
majority of our successful authors served a
laborious apprenticeship, and it was only
after long years of patient work and weary
waiting that they were enabled to earn their
daily bread. The great Newton remodelled
his " Chronology sixteen times. Gibbon
wrote nine autobiographies before he was
pleased with his work. Grays famous
" Elegy occupied seven years of thought
full penwork. Samuel Rogers laboriously
achieved four harmonious lines in day.
Moore and Wordsworth detested the
drudgery of the pen, and consigned whole
reams of MSS. to the waste basket. Byron
and Macaulay erased aud interlined with
the most industrious PARTICULARLY. And
Daniel Webster was, SO far as his own com.
positions we're concerned, hypercritical to
the last degree. 1t is related of him that,
on one occasion, he presented literary
society of Harvard with valuable book, at
the same time acknowledging, in brief
epistle, his election to an honorary mem.
bership. The note elected many compli-
mentary remarks from the students ON &C.
count of the graceful elegance of the Style
But 1t was more fully appreciated when the
accompanying volume was examined. The
distinguished donor had thoughtlessly left
between its pages a sheet of paper ON which
appeared half q dozen different forms of
the same note.

HypRopHoBIA AT NEWARK.

There have been two deaths at Newark
from hydrophobia and worthless ours

Silk hats are more worn than for
many years. Nothing looks so dressy.
The only objection to them is that they
do not always fit the head comfortably.
But if you buy one at G.. W. Hotels
store, SO E. State street, Trenton, you
can have 1t fitted by the American Com
formator which moulds it exactly to the
shape of the head, be it ever so odd.

WARMING up due AtIan,Ic elImate

A New York engineer, J. @. Goodridgo,
Jr., suggests plan for moderating the eli
mate of our North Atlantic coast. He as
sumes that the reason wo do not get the
benefit of the Gulf Stream is that we have ben.
tween us and it Polar current, coming down
along the coast of Labrador through the west
ern Straits of Belle Isle, and forming the cold
wall of the Gulf Stream. The existence of
this current is well established. What Mr..
Goodridge proposes is, that it should DO
stopped in the Straits of Belle Isle by dam
at point where it is about ten miles wide
and $50 feet deep. The dam, he says, could
be built with the adjacent rocks, and the
cost would not exceed $40, 200, 000 The
effect of this would be, he calculates, to
change the temperature Of the coast from
Cape Hatteras TO Newfoundland. Nova
Scotia would have climate as mild MS Cape
May, and Block Island and Cape Cod would
become winter watering places.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS.
Something About tho News Gatherers MT
the CnpitoI.


The hours of the Washington correspond
ent do not vary materially from those of his
brethren of the press in the large cities of
the country. The offices in which they labor
are located on Fourteenth street, between
pennsylvania avenue and F street. BY rea.
son of this fact the locality is named " News.
paper Row." The offices of the New York
World, Louisville Courier-Journal, Louis.
vile Commercial and Times Democrat are
further up the street, between f and G
streets. Those of the Chicago Tribune,
New York Tribune and Baltimore Sun are
on + street, between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets. The New York Herald rooms
are on Fifteenth street, within stones
throw of the Treasury Department. In
some cases the representatives of several
newspapers are located in bodybuilding. A
few of the leading newspapers rent build
ing and sublet desk room. This is notably
The case with the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, where are to be found correspond
ents of the Detroit Free Press, st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, Philadelphia Record and
Boston Advertiser, and the files of the sew
eral newspapers they represent. The hand
soonest newspaper apartments in the city
are those of the Cincinnati Enquirer and
Chicago Times in the new building recently
erected corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Fourteenth street. The headquarters of the
st. Louis Republican are also located here.
Nearly all of the leading newspapers of the
country employ two correspondents. In
case of an emergency the number is increas.
ed. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
carries the largest staff of correspondents of
any Western paper. 1t is represented by
Gen. HenryaV. Boynton, Henry VIM and
Col. Fred L. Muzzy. The latter is what is
known in newspaper circles as a F" free
lance" and usually works under special in
struotions from Murat Halstead. The Com.
mercial Gazette has also a special wire in
connection with its Office here, which ia
used in part by the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal.
The salaries of Washington correspond.
ents vary according to the number of papers
each representative has ON his list. Gen.
Boynton is reported to receive SIS, 900 per
annum Nordhof, of the New York Herald,
$1,000 T. G. Crawford, of the World,
800 per week; Lyman, of the Sun, $75 I;
Dunnell, of the Times, $75; Mcbride, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, 800; White, OF
the Chicago Tribune, $780, Guthridge, o.
the Chicago News, 300. The leading cor
respondent of The Boston Herald also re
ceives 800. Tho average correspondent il
Washington is able to earn about $50 pen
week. In reality, when the cost of living
and other expenses are substracted, it is
about equal to sum twenty-five per cent.
less in any other city. A very few of the
Washington correspondents have slnecure
attachments under the government, Which
swells their monthly stipsnds.

Mistletoe FOR IzissIng rurposes.

No English lady considers her home
decorations for Christmas complete, until
little sprig of Mistletoe, no matter how
small, is hung over one of tho doors on
the inside of the house. Upon this day,
"if a gentleman discovers lady standing
under the Mistletoe, he has a right TO Kiss
her."
If this ancient and honored custom be-
comes as popular in America as it has
been for centuries in Europe, it will be
lagely due to the Emporid (Fa.) Go
2ette, which, by the way, is published in
Volusia Co., Florida, which is famous for
its Summary Winters and Orange Groves;
for this journal has prepared packages of
Mistletoe "a parasite and a native of
Florida) which it will send to any address
npen receipt of five 9 cent stamps to cover
postage, &c. The Gazette has published
"Florida Catechism,o that gives full
and accurate information upon all sub.
jects of interest to tourists or settlers,
which it will mail, to any applicant, with
a sample copy of its paper, upon receipt of
two 2 cent stamps.

The Special Fire Alarms for Mills and
Factories, issued last week, to be of any
effect and carry out the purpose for which
they were created, must DO used only in
case of fire at any one of the particular
mills numbered. Should fire occur
near by sound an alarm, by long whistle
as was formerly done. To give uniformi-
ty to the time of whistles, would sug
gest that the long whistle occupy space
of time while one might moderately count
ten, and the short ones each about a
seconds duration. Should other mills
wish to assist in sounding an alarm, they
should repeat the number of the mill, first
giving the alarm. This will avoid con-
fusion. 1t should always be borne in
mind that no alarm should be given if
there is proper force on hand to control
a fire. G. II. w VAN SEWER.

On Monday morning last, quite an
excitement happened at the hill school.
While number of scholars were in a
class room on the second floor, loud re-
port startled the scholars, while volumes
of dust and smoke issued from the heater
pipe. The noise also startled the schol-
ars in the rooms on the first floor where
the heater was located. Upon examina-
ton, it was clearly shown that there had
been a cartridge of some kind, either in
the coal used, or which had perhaps been
thrown down the heater pipe. The ball
in the cartridge struck the ceiling above.
leaving hole of about ! of an inch in
diameter. 1t was narrow escape from
danger, as two of the teachers had mo-
ment before been warming themselves at
the heater.

II AFRICANS Tourists drew one of the
largest audiences Of the season at the
Academy of Music ON Saturday evening,
the dress circle and gallery being packed
and the lower part Of the house comforta-
bly, filled. The company comprises about
as funny a lot of Irish comedians as are
likely TO be met with under one manage
ment. The bagpipe playing of Pat Too
hey and John Hagan was revelation to
many who.thought they had heard bag
pipes before, while the reels and jigs of
Hagan and Jerry Conan were the poe
try of molten and have never been
eclpsed on our stage. The panoramic
views of Irish cities and scenery afforded
a pleasing variation amid the succession
of comicalities, and the vociferous and
incessant applause showed that the audi
ence was thoroughly delighted with the
entire entertainment. Miners Journal,

The As6stry Park Journal, an earn.
est temperance paper, says:
at is q prevalent idea with the Third
Party Prohibitionists that they gained a
victory at the election last week in At
lanta, Ga, and the changes they ring on
it are many and quite wanting in accu-
racy. The plain fact is, there never was
an election held in which all party lines
were SO completely obliterated. Ex-Gov.
Colquitt says that he attributes their sue
cess to keeping this movement out of
politics. He adds in letter to the hide
pendent: We have kept it out, and
could the wit of man have devised more
effective method of carrying on their re.
form without the admixture of politics
than the one we have adopted That is,
by appeals to indioiduals, committees and
not sets of men, This is tho prohibition
for success, and we hope our friends here
will follow tho lead of Atlanta temper
ance people.
