An Interesting Volume.
ATLANTA constitution.

Julius L. Brown, of Atlanta, owns a
manuscript book of the Irish poet Tom
Moore, containing the original text of his
most famous poems in his own hand
writing. The book is bound in white
leather, now yellow with age The hand
writing of the famous poet is diminutive
little chirography OF almost infnitesimal
letters and so marked with interlineations
and erasures as to be deciphered with diff
ficulty. The interesting little volume
shows what slow and laborious process
poetic composition was with the smooth
est of English poets.
There is lesson of deep value in the
tireless literary polishing seen in this
book. Endless forms of expression and
changes are tried The poet never
wearied in perfecting his phrases. He
tried and tried again. frequently remodel
ing entirely his lines. 1t is immensely
interesting to see what process of con-
struction his immortal poems went
through. We have the whole thing in
this book. Mr. Brown places a high
value on this relic that can not be dupli

Plants Under the E:eotr 9 A =.


After foil owing up the experiments OF
Siemens on the influence of the electric
light on vegetation, p. p. Deherain, a
French investigator, mas recorded these
conclusions; The electric light contains
rays which are injurious to vegetation
the greater part of the rays are kept back
by transparent glass; the electric light
contains, on the other hand, suificien;
rays useful to vegetation to maintain the
life of plants entirely under its in .uen e
for two and half months; this amoant of
usefuFrays is. however. insufficient to
bring OF young terminating plants, or to
lring full grown plants to maturity.
Some very curious effects of the naked
rays were noted, Some Of the plants lost
their leaves, some became spotted, weak
and unhealthy, others turned black, while
in the cases of some elder shrubs the more
exposed leaves were blackened and the
others remained green. The outlines of
the upper leaves were in many cases i'm
pressed on those underneath with photo
graphic clearneSs.

Instruction at West Point.
WASHINGTON Tor New York World


Adjt Gen. Drum, of the army, thinks
that there is room for reform in the sys-
tenn of education at West Point He
would throw open the school to larger
number of students and have only a
picked number of them actually appointed
into the army. He believes in giving a
large number of students military edu-
cation and then in sending them back to
civil life, where they can be useful as
military professors at the schools through
out the country in helping to keep up the
various militia organizations, and in case
of an emergency could be relied upon for
organizing and handling troops. The
present system at West Point has ten
dency to make boy over into machine.
and to give him a false notion of his
position in life.
Their after life in the army tends to
make them creatures of routine, excess
lively timid and conservative. All of the
great generals of the war were West
Point graduates who had left the army
and gone back to civil life. Through
their absence from the army and in their
contact with people they had acquired
that broadening of the mind and knowl-
edge of men which afterward made them
successful generals.

MULLEN LEAVES IN CONSUMPTION
what the Doctors Say-Of Value In the
Earlier Stages-HOw Used.

what the Doctors Say-Of Value in the
Earlier Stages-HOw Used.
Scientific Americana
Dr. Quinlan, of Dublin, read before the
International Medical congress at Copen-
hagen last year an interesting paper on
the medicinal qualities of the mullen. 1t
has attracted widespread attention, and
among the more recent articles confrma-
tory of DR.. Quinlan's statements is one by
Dr. Wilfert, of Cincinnati, which appears
in the last number of The Lancet and
Clinic of that city. From the results OBJ
tanned in 1877 cases of pulmonary con
sumption treated by DR.. Quinlan with
mullen alone, he draws the following
conclusions, which are condensed from
his original article, viz:
1. In the earlier and pretubercular
stage of pulmonary consumption, mullen
has a weight-increasing and curative
power greater than that of cod liver oil,
and equal to that of Russian kOumiss.
2 In cases where tubercles are we'll es-
tablished or cavities exist, the mullen has
great power in relieving cough-a great
boon to consumptives, whose weak stom-
achs too frequently can not tolerate the
usual cough remedies
g. Ththisical diarrh4a Is completely
obvated by the mullen.
4 Mullen has no power or effect on the
night sweats of consumption, which
should be combated by atropia sui
phate.
The method of using the mullen, which
originated among the Irish peasantry and
was adopted by Dr. Cuinlan just as he
found it, is as follows: Three ounces of
the fresh green leaves or about ten times
that much of the dried, are boiled in
pint of fresh cows milk After boiling a
moment the infusion is allowed to
stand and "sipe" for ten minutes,
when it is strained, sweetened and
drunk while warm This quantity is taken
twice or three times day. 1t is gener
ally much relished by the patients, who
regard it as a pleasant article of diet
rather than as medicine. The smoke
of the mullen inhaled into the respira
tory passages relieves irritation and spas
modic cough.
DR.. Wilfert states that he has followed
DIR. Cuinlans method in twenty cases of
undoubted pulmonary phthisic, all of
them more or less advanced, and al i'm
proved during the administration of null
lein, no other drugs being used. These
results are certainly very encouraging.

Does Habit Make Deoeucy in Dress ?

London Times
What is it that constitutes decency in
dress? Clearly nothing but habit The
custom of the particular society or sub
iect matter concerned-in ordinary Ian
guage. convention. This seems strange to
some people; but it is most certainly true
that there is no absolute rule as to what
drapery is or is not decent Even in the
same society the conditions vary enor-
mously. Use and custom alone deter
mine the becoming. A Turkish lady is
shocked if a strange man sees her without
a yashmak and a monstrous bundle of
wraps. So conventional is this covering
of the face that Mussulman peasant
woman surprised in the field will often
veil it with her only petticoat
Travellers tell us that a we'll bred Afri-
can woman bushes to be seen for the first
time in clothes The unusual use
of clothing appears to her scarce
" decent Custom, habit, and
convention decide the matter among
ourselves. A pure cottage girl in Come
mara, who sleeps in room with men and
never owned stockings, would feel uneasy
in ball dress of a princess. The princess
would almost suffer death than share her
cottage for week If the daughters of
Leonidas went to a drawing room at
Buckingham palace in their Spartan tu-
mics, they would probably cause as great
a flutter as they would feel themselves.
No one would expect hospital nurse to
do what hundreds of innocent girls do in
q pantomime; but the danseuse, again
would hardly submit to the unsparing
revelations of a surgical ward. Honi soft
is the soul and paramount rule; but then
this depends on certain conventional prac
tees being respected.

Cruelty to Trees.

Driving nails into growing trees is
rightly called barbarous practice, only
to be surpassed by the still worse habit
of twistingNwire round the stems and
branches to keep them back in shape. or
when newly planted to hold them steady

must be used tar cord surely is better,
but even that sometimes will cut into the

only in forming fancy plantations round
a newly built house, that the young trees,
etc, are established by means of wire and

freely used to tie back boughs or bushes

What strikes one first in the FIorentine
crowd is that it is so well dressed. [ do
not mean that the average of fashion is so
great as with US, but that the average of
Taggedness is less. Venice, when I saw it
again, seemed in tatters, but so far as
can remember Florence is not even patched
and this in spite of the talk one constantly
bears of the poverty which has befallen
the city since the removal of the capital
to Rome. All classes are said to feel this
adversely more or less, but none of them
show it on the street, beggary itself is 81,
fenced to the invisible speech which one
sees moving the lips of the old women
who steal an open palm toward you at the
church doors. Florence is not only better
dressed on the average than Boston, but
with little over half the population there
are, should think, nearly twice as many
private carriages in the former city. am
