Choosing q Husband.

A girl, if she cannot always choose,
can always refuse, and generally her
difficulty is this: it is evident that this
man is making love to me. l do not
love him, but I think l might do SO il
I chose. Shall l choose or shall I
forbearp 1t is here that the power of
choice comes in; and it is here that the
voice of prudence must be heard, If it
is heard at all. In such circumstances
a girl will act wisely if she pays con-
siderable attention to the general
opinion, which, in nine cases out of
ten, is held Of the gentleman IN ques-
ton by his professional brethren or
his business acquaintances. 1t is, in
short, not the man who is agreeable
among women, but he who is well
liked by his WI sex, who is the man
to choose as a husband. There are
persons, however. of the. OPP
posite sex who are almost as good
judges of a mans disposition as those
of his own, and they are his sisters.
A girl can always tell how a man
stands with his sisters, and il they are
really fond of him she may feel sure,
that he will make a good husband.
A mother, of course always speaks
well of her son; it is not what she SAYS.
of him, but his behavior to her, that
is to be looked up.-Hon1e Journal.

"Rlack-paath."

1t is almost universally expected that
the cholera will visit this country dur
ing the present year, but medical science
has made such progress that the disease
will probably be held under control.
At any rate there need be no fear that
the rate of mortality will be SO high as
it used to be in the middle ages when =
pestilence broke out. During tie
reign of Edward I'LL, in the fourteenth
century, the disease KIN own as "black
death" broke ont in southeastern Eng
land, and ragged with awful severity.
What this disease was, no one knows.
1t was unlike any that now af1icts
men.
The victim suddenly began to suffer
in the head and stomach. Little knots,
blisters or %pimples, called plague-sores,
appeared in the groin or arm pits. Then
came a %devouring fever, with splitting
or vomiting of blood, and tho patient
died, either within a few hours Of being
seized, or in a day or two at the long
est.
Horrible stories are told of the dread
work of the black death. The bishop
of Norwich and three country clergy
men, who were sent, with four others,
on an embassy to France. in 1349, all
died of the plague within q short time
after their return.
Five petty disputes were set down for
hearing at the little court at Hunstan-
ton on the 23d of April, 1349. When
the day came eleven of the sixteen men
who were engaged as principals or WIT
nesses, were dead 'of the plague. A
month later there were three suits for
debt to be tried. The plaintiff in one
of the suits, the defendant in another,
and both parties in the third, were
dead when the day came for trial.
In a single year more than eight hun
dred families in that part of England
which was called East Anglia, south
eastern England, lost their priests
eighty-three parishes lost two priests
each; and in ten of them three clergy
men each died, in a few months. It is
believed that more than one-half the
population was swept awny.
The mortality in the towns was much
greater than in the country, but no ex-
act facts have been preserved. Town
life in the middle ages was a very
dreadful life. and it is q ,vonIer that
any person could have survived the
perils OF wrctchedness and filth.

Victor HugO's Daily Life.

In spite of his years he is still hale
and hearty; he eats we'll and drinks
well, and his only intirmity is deaf
ness. On Thursdays and SUNDAYS,
which are reception days, the poet
goes to bed about 10 o'clock; on other
days he retires at 9 or $50. and in the
about 10. He breakfasts lightly,
walks, and, in spite of the supplica-
tions of his family, he occasionally in
dulges in his old distraction of riding
on the knifeboard of a bus. What
ever the weather, Victor Hugo still OBJ
stinately refuses to wear an overcaat,
and, old as he is, he persists in abund-
ant cold water a%blutions; but he no
longer takes his "tub' rs he used to
during the siege Of Paris, when,he used
to break the Ice with his heel on cold
mornings. Victor Hugo still works,
but of course not very much; he has
his bolster and pillow placed at the
foot of the bed, so as to receive the
light directly from the window, and,
pencil in hand, passes an hour or two
every morning in classifying and cor
recting his unpublished works in proze
and verse. He has in manuscript half
a dozen plays, several volumes of
philosophy, which will be published
after his death. And so the old poet
lives, surrounded by his family, by his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Georges,
the latter a big boy of seventeen, who
is going to be a painter-and by his
faithful old friends Paul Meuriee and
Auguste Vacquerie, who tell the old
mar on days when he is weary and
thinking of the end, that he must try
to live until 1889, SO that the opening
of the Universal Exhibition and the.
centenary of the Great Revolution may
be presided over by le vieux Hugo

A Meteor.

Chambers Journal.-We had left
Alden and were steaming rapidly Bonn
hayward, V q placid sea, under q
magnificent ~star-lit sky; I was occupy
ing my favorite resort, the platform OF
the gangway ladder, of the good ship
Deccan, and Colonel P. shared it with
me. Our conversation turned on the
magnificence of our surroundings.
Above us was the heavenly host, each
unit shining with the splendor peculiar
to tropical skies; beneath us great
masses of phosphoresence rolling in the
depths, seemed to emulate the stars
above. and behind us, Venus cast n long
brilliant reflection on the deep. While
watching her e%fiulgence, Colonel P.
suddenly drew my attention with, "By
jove, H., she is coming ut us!" And
true enough itseemed so for q moment,
but Immediately we both recognized
the fact that u great meteor
was approaching; and no sooner
was this fact apparent than it had pass
ell ahead, and disappeared under the
following astonishing circumstances:
At first of dazzling white, it rivaled
Venus iii brilliancv, and seemed to
emerge from her. Then the white rap
idly passed into red, then dull rel, al
most black, and in this condition it
flew over u heads, passing over the
Deccan, and falling into the sea with q
splash apparently a mile ahead of her,
and slightly O her starboard bow. In
voluntarily we both rushed forward to
see the fall but were too late; but ev-
cry one on deck heard it. and we all saw
and heard the outsplashing water fall
ing back into the sea. AS the steamer
sped Oh we passed over, at an interval,
/ should say, of five hundred yards,
three gigantic bubbles of hot air gnrg-
ling up from the depths, and marking
the slantiug course of the meteor to the
bottom Of the sea.

You pay 100 cents on the dollar every

Wheels Not Made of Pnln.

"The statement that the most deli
cate watch wheels are now made of
paper pulp in Germany is a hoax, 1
think" said a prominent jeweler and
matchmaker on Broadway to a Mail
and Express representative. 81 have
been in the business some forty years
and work on German, Swiss, English,
French and American watches every
week, repairing or taking them apart,
and l have not seen a wheel made Of
pulp, not even among the latest
watches from Germany. Then from
my knowledge Of machinery nee
essary to make a watch and run it for
several years l do not think that pulp
by any process whatever can be made
hard enough to be of use. Brass and
steel are chiefly used to make watch
wheels. Platina is too hard to work
and too costly, and gold will not do
for many reasons.
paper buckets and boats are made,
but they have no special friction COM
pared to that of a watchwheel, which
runs in cogs all the time. Suppose q
process was discovered to harden pulp
to a degree equal to steel; then the
question is. would it last as long as
steel? I think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely on exhibition and rot every
day. Steel and brass are metals
formed by natural processes during
The course of many hundred centuries.
Paper or pulp hardened by artificial
means when not subject to constant
friction may be equal to steel or brass
for certain processes, but l imagins its
durability would be uncertain. Hard
wood, of course, can be used for a
time as cog wheels in watches, and
many other temporary tough mate
rails, hut they are SIMPLY for exhibit
tion ana not utility. So many watches
are made in Switzerland l wonder they
have not substituted some cheap ma
terial for steel and brass, but / didn't
expect Germany to start at it first.
Indeed, my firm opinion is that 1t is a
mistake about pulp being used even
for big cog wheels, much less small,
delicate nes."-NeU York Malt and
ErpreSS.
