During the rehearsals OF Gilbert &
Sullivan's new operetta, Japanese
dancer and a Japanese tea girl from the
Village" at Knightshridge gave their
services, AMI to this it is, no doubt, due
that both actors and actresses are so

vaseline In Pastry.

French bakers are making large use

the fat that, however stale the pastry

The Weird Brd of the sonth Atlantic
detroit Free Press r - g..

AS the craft fowls along in tho south
Atlantic a new world seems to open
upon the voyager. The constellation, OF
the Southern Cross has scarcely be-
come familiar to him before he begins to
see animal, or rather bird. life alto
gether new to him. One of the greatest
novelties of this kind that can ever i'm
press itself upon the mind Of mans is
the albatross. o.
Some morning the loungcr will reach
the deck and, casting his eye in the
wake of the ship to Judge her speed,
will see speck just above the horizon
far astern. Growing larger and larger
as it approaches, it finally develops into
a gigantic bird, and the old sailor, con
ming the helm, will gcuffiy suggest the
fact that it is proper for the tyro to wet
his first introduction to an albatross.
There is something inexpresSibly
weird about the bird itself, as we'll
as in its manner of flight, and it is mat
ter of little wonder to those who have
seen it, that brain such as Coleridges
should have hit upon it for the text OF
his Lay of the Ancient Mariner. gI
without a beat of wing, without mo-
ton of the body, the bird will, by long,
easy-going tackS, swoop up from astern
until it gets within easy watching dis.
tance from the ship it chooses TO follow.
Ii will then 'lay to- at that res eetful
distance and after taking thorough
stock of the stranger that has invaded
its domain will, with no apparent effort,
swoop past the ship to polt or star
board, as the case may be, pass if by
several cable lengths and then, laying
to ON the opposite Fand to its advance,
allow the ship to pass it, AMI will then
once more take up its post as rear
guard of the procession. Nothing can
be more ghost like than the action of
the albatross in thus passing or being
passed. xr 4tg

* X x Today, Notwithstanding the
storms, the cold, the snow blockades
and uncertainties involved in a radical
change Of administrations, more mark
cts are reporting better business doing
than has been the case at any othe
period since the election"
The Minneapolis Tribune in a lac
issue says: make no mistake, tie
present dark cloud of business deprs-
sion has silver lining and it isal-
ready beginning to reverse and skDw
its brilliant side to discouraged eyes.
The iron and steele industries hayeal-
ready been aroused from state of
temporary stuper, and mills are gong
into operation which haye recently
undergone a period of enforced ide-
ness. Real estate is looking up in the
east and this is regarded as an augruy
Of coming activity in all business in
terests."
The New York Tribune says: "The
signs Of Improvement in the real state
market are the more significant be-
cause they come at an odd time.
Henry Clews, the well known fnan-
cier, says: 50 far as the business
situation is concerned whatever ch;nge
has taken place has been for the bet
ter since the opening of the new year.
While depression in some sectionsre-
mains, in all large cities a more hope
ful feeling prevails and evidences are
multiplying that we have at last Of
fected q substantial start toward new
period of prosperity"

{ seiGSs Talk.

The Duluth editors are wasting q
great deal Of precious time and valua-
bic (?) space in their columns, to say
nothing Of lead pencils, in discussing
the question Of annexing Douglas
county to Minnesota, and making Su-
perior and Duluth all one town. Be
sides being imPracticable, the people
would never consent to the scheme.
To show that such a move would not
be beneficial to Superior it is only
necessary to read the following quo
tation from the Duluth Tribune Of
Tuesday last:
I'VE are amongst those who believe
that it is unacceptable Of the clearcst
proof that it would be to the interest
OF the whole head Of the lake and es-
pecially for what is now DuIuth, could
the change in the boundary be made,
and should Duluth thus be made to
embrace not only her present territory
but all that now embraced by South
Duluth and Superior City
But as the move will die where it is.
there is no call to multiply words
over it.

Chinese Alchemy.

An eastern writer declares that there
is now no reasonable doubt that the
Old Arabian aichemists and othecs de
rived their ideas on the transmutation
of metals into gold and the belief in
immunity from death by the use Of the
philosopher stone, from China Mer-
curry is stated to have been the philos-
opher's stone, OF which Geyer aDd
others wrote, and cinna5ur -.red snl-
phnret Of mercury was known to the
Chinese rs early as the seventh century
before the Christian era, its Occurrences
on the earth surfacc being said to IN
dicate gold beneath. Mercury was ex-
cessively employed by the Chinese as q
medicine, and in the ninth century an
emperor was killed b. an overdose.
Their medical books say it takes o.
years to produce cinnabar; in 800 year,
il becomes lead; il go years more IL
becomes silver. and then by obtaining
q transforming substance called ..yapor
OF harmony it becomes gold This
doctrine of the Transformation OF mer
curry into other meta,s is 400 Years
old in China. Tie Chinese contend
that when mercury is taken into tire

but eXpels bad vapors, poison, and

mark that he grew them in his ow,

bushels last season. Pounds volum

The President on Civil Service.

President Cleveland seems to be in
earnest regarding his oft repeated dec
laration that he proposed to stand by
the civil service law in practice as well
as theory. From dispatch dated at
Washington on the 9Th inst, we take
I the following extract touching on this
subject which has the true ring. 1t
also gives Us little idea Of how the
new President receives his visitors at
the White House:
/ Friday plight two leading Mime
sofa Democrats visited the president
/ He took them all over the White
/ House, showed the cellars, the kitch-
en-, the conservatory, the east room,
red room, blue room, the executive of
fees, and finally took them to his bed
room. Drawing out a box Of cigars
! he passed them, and then pulled of
his coat and Topped down on the bed.
Now, ! suppose we are going to talk
politics. he said. The Minnesotians
admitted that such might be the case.
"Well, what 10 YOU want, anyway? :"
said the chief magistrate. The Min
nesotiars giving polite bat evasive
answer, the president took the CONVEX
sation into his own control and went
on:
Il believe" said he. in civil serv-
/ ice reform. ! believe the Democratic
party should support me, if l should
commit my administration to that pol
icy. The situation for Democrats is a
choice between rushing in and taking
| all the patronage now lis soon as they
can get it, or wait and gradually fill
the offices as they become vacant by
natural and due course Of time and
circumstances. II We pursue the form
er course we may be elected cut Of
power III 1888. If we take the latter,
we will give the country not only a
SoOu, huolut>S-Iihe administration, bul
deserve to be retained in power. | say
this for the party, not for myself
Now | think 1 shall practice civil SER
wee reform, pure and simple, and with
/ that determination | want my Demo
cratic friends to help me by standing
/ between the administration and Office
seekers, to keep them of as far as pos
sible That is the sum and substance
Of my policy. What do you think
Of it?"
The two Minnesota Democrats as
sured the president Of their most cor
dial cooperation, and some time later
departed.
