Cry GIRLS AT A RURAL REsoRT.-Glrls
are everywhere. They sing, they fish, they
play the piano-and whist. They are
pretty, too-some of them very pretty
but they are apt TO overestimate the license
which their beauty and extreme stylishness
give them. They come out from their for
est fastness and act like veriiable little
savages. In the most elegant of yachting
costumes and most reckless Of humors they
set their white sails for the breeze and their
caps for something else. They are young
ladies who in the most critical and exclu-
sive society in the city have never outraged
any of those stupid things called proprie-
lies, but here they appear to think them
selves unknown, or divorced from any
need of caution by the informally of the
surroundings. They shout and sing, blow
the shrill whistle of their boats, or the
horns which are used in lieu OF whistles,
and once on land show a disregard for the
opinion of the quiet villagers which would
utterly condemn them with any public ex-
cept an American and a Western one. One
high. born danisel signifies her contempt Of
the simple country folk by sitting in church
Sunday mornings and vigorously chewing
gum throughout the service. Those who
indulge in the more startling pranks are
the bread-and butter misses. fresh from the
restrictions of a boarding school, who next
winter will shine as vivacious debntants in
the metropolis.-GeleUd lake (WWl Cor.

The Wonderful Graphophone.

Professor Taintor, who is associated with
| Professor Bell and Dir. Bell, inventors of
the g~raphophOne. gave an exhibition of the
| machine to q few invited guests in Wash
ington recently, The graphophoneis built
upon the principle of Edison's ingenious
toy, the photograph, but it is to the phoBo-
graph what the perfected telephone is to
the speaking tube. Imagine a machine of
about the size of a diminutive sausage mill
having, instead of knives, q cylinder OF
solid brass about II inches in diameter and
6 inches long, rapidly ~revolved by an
| arrangement of cogS connected with a wheel
turned by hand, like the hand attachment
of a sewing machine. Over the cylinder
is placed a ti%ghtly-fitting tube of paratine,
an attachment with a fine metal point to
which is affixed a diaphragm. A speaking
tube rests against the polished paraffiue
surface. and by turning he wheel the
cylinder revolves, and the metal point is
drawn along the surface, cutting a groove
almost imperceptible to the eye. While
the cylinder is revolving the operator
speaks into the tube and the wave of sound
against the diaphragm regulates the pres
sure of the point against the paralfne.
When one is through taking, the speaking
tube or transmitter is replaced by an in
strument known as a receiver, and 1t being
connected with the revolving cylinder re-
produces the language originally spoken
by the operator. The words are repeated
loud enough to be heard distinctly in u
part of a small room. The paratfine tubes,
which cost about one cent each. will take
a dictation Of about five minutes speaking
at any chosen rate OF speed. Not only is
the language repeated, bur the tone OF voice
as well. An automatic device to tGrn the
cylinder is being perfected. The machine
is arranged so that it can be stoppedat will,
any sentence or part of a sentence repeated,
and an indefinite number of copies can be
made by an amanuensis OF the words re-
corded upon the cylinder.

DEALING WITH TRAAPs N ESGLAND.-Not
a few citizens of the United States hold the
belief that the species tramp" of the
genus homo" is not only indigenous to
this country. but is confined 10 it. 4 greater
mistake could scarcely be made. The tramp
in England is not only quite as ubiquitous
as in The United States, but the cause of a
constant drain upon hepuhlic funds which
nothing but long habit could make a sorely
taxed community acquiesce in. Not TO the
chance and not over tender mercies of a
police station, or the draughty and dog
haunted shelter of a farmers barn. is he
compelled to trust when the early autumn
frosfs begin to render the gate of the field
an insufficient protection from cold o.
nights. Then the casual ward of the
poor house opens its doors to receive him.
Wherever one of these monuments to the
much enduring charity of the English ma
ton TearS itself. he can claim a cOmforta-
Bile bed of straw and q meal of honest
bread in the morning. But tackled to these
privileges which makes the lot of the Eng
lish tramp such a happy one are three con-
ditions, the inevitable enforcement of which
disliketh him. He must take q bath, he
must discard his natural rags and don a
clean night robe, and he nus break so
much stone or pick such a quantity of
oakum before be is free of the street again.

American coin; and at Paso del Norte-
about 400 yards distant, on the opposite
side of the Rio Characterization dollars
are worth only So cents in Mexican coin.
The driver in question says that he started
from the American side ofthe liver with a
Mexican dollar in his pocket. On his ar
rival at the Mexican town he took a drink
of =" tangle-f foot" which was fifteen cents,
and received an American dollar in ex-
change for his Mexican coin. On his return
to the American side he took another drink
equally as bad), and received a Mexican
dollar in exchange for his American coin.
And thus he kept it up all day, repeating
his drinks at frequent intervals and when
he closed up business at night the same
Mexican dollar was in his pocket with
which he started out in the morning. and

Courtship In Southern Ita,y-

Sudden passions like those of Romeo and
Juliet are the rule rather than the excep-
ton in the South, though they rarely have
so tragical an ending. A young man
catches a glimpse of a girl, and at once re-
solves to make her his wife; if it is al
church, he follows her home; if on a bal
cony, he notes the house and begins to
haunt the street. If he is acceptable, per-
haps one day a flower will fall at his feet,
though the girl knows that such encour-
agement is unmaidenly. A lover with q
good voice and ear has an immense advant-
age. He sings snatches of love songs as
he walks below, and if a voice above takes
up the last note and gradually passes to
another song, he may take heart. What
ever difficulties he may still have to en-
counter, an aversion on the part of the OBJ
ject of his affection will not be one of them.
Very pretty fiirtations are carried on in this
way, the young lady at times mocking and
teasing her admirer with fragments OF
s~atirical verse, and at times falling into
something very like sentiment, but they
are more frequent after than before the
betrothal. Even the most favored
lover has in the meantime been seeking
for some means of establishing a more
direct intercourse with the object of his
choice. He has made inquiries of the
n~eighbors as to the character of the family
and its inmates, and endeayors to obtain
an introduction to one of the elderly ladies
who frequent the house. To her he ex-
plains his wishes and his position in life,
and he then begs her to plead his cause. If
be is an eligible sutton, she is almost GER
tain to consent, as the mission is an inter
esting one, and the position is considered
highly honorable. She knows nothing of
any little signs of favor the lover may have
received, so her first visit is to the young
lady, who feigns shyness and a reluctance
which it sometimes takes weeks TO over
come. At least the envoy is supposed to
act thus in fact, there is generally a per
feet understanding between her and the pa
rents, though they pretend to know moth
ing of what is going N. After the maiden
has given what she considers a sufficient
proof of her modesty, she yields. The
father is her consulted, the principal con-
ditions of the marriage contract are dis
cussed, and the betrothal takes place.-Sat-
urday Revie,c.

Venice in 976.

Venice, though already great, w9s, III
comparison with its after appearance, a
mere village, or rather a cluster of villages,
struggling along the sides of each muddy,
marsby island, keeping the line of the
broad and nayigable waterway, in dots of
buildings and groups of houses and
churches, from the olive covered isle where
San Pietro, the first great church of the
city, shone white among its trees, alongt the
curve of the Canaluccio to the RialtO-
Riye-Alto, what Mr.. Ruskin calls the deep
stream, where the church of st. Giacomo,
another central spot, stood, with its group of
dwellings round-no bridge then dreamed
of, but Il ferry connecting the two
sides of the Grand Canal. Already the stir
of was in the air, and the big
sea-going galleys, with their high bull
warks, lay at the rude wharfs, to take in
outward-bound cargoes Of salt, salt fish,
wooden furniture, bowls and boxes of
home manufacture, as well as the goods of
northern nations, of which they were the
carriers, and come back laden with the
riches of the East-with wonderful tissues
and carpets, and marbles and relics of the
saints. The palace and its chapel, the
shrine of San Marco, stood where they
still stand, but there were no columns on
the Piazzatta, and the great Piazza was q
piece of waste land belonging to the nuns
at San Zaccaria, which was. one might say,
the parish church. Most probably this
vacant space in the days of the first Orse-
olo was little more than q waste of salt
water grasses and sharp acrid plants like
those that now flourish in such rough lux
uriance on the Lido, with perhaps a tree or
two here and there, a patch of cultivated
ground. Such was the scene-very differ
n from the Venice of the earliest pictures,
still more different from hat we know.
But already the lagoon was full of boats
and the streets OF commotion, and Venice
grew like a young plant, like the quick
spreading vegetation of her own warm,
wet marshes, day by day.-The C0ntempor-

FEMININE WIT CANE To HER Ant
was not long ago that a friend of ours was
travelling with a party of excursionists in
the mining regions OF Pennsylvania. She
was a single lady, and did not know any of
her male companions even by name. She
went down into a mine with the other
tourists, and with a woman's natural curl
osity thought she would investigate q little
for herself. The consequence was that she
got lost, and found herself in a labyrinth
Inc passage, whose windings she could not
follow to the sunlight. Vague visions of
death by starvation hoated before her mind
and she was puzzled for a few minutes to
know what to dc. Feminine wit finally
came 10 her aid, and she shouted at the
t p of her voice, John ~ Presently the
answer came back, 4" What do you want ?"
81 wish you would help me to find my way
out of this hole" was the reply, and almost
instantly a manly form was at her side
which dexterously piloted her to the open
day. She was not acquainted with her
kind rescuer, but she said she was sure
there was a John in every crowd, and
could make no mistake if she called for
him.-BOSt0n Budget SduRterer."

THE MORPHINE HABIT IN FRANCE.-The
deplorable habit of using morphine, not TO
relieve pain, but for the ~pleasurable SEN
sation the narcotic produces, seems to be
spreading in France, in spite of the warn
ing note uttered by medical men, and the
terrible consequences that must follow
upon the use, or rather abuse, of the drug.
During the hearing of a case at Macon
recently, the facts that transpired corrobo-
rated the assertion made by doctors as to
the alarming tendency which prevails. A
chemist residing in that town was prose
cuted for selling morphine without medi-
cal authority to a number of persons,
among them being the wife of a doctor,
who, quite unknown to her husband, con-
sumed ii daily, and in large quantities, by
injecting it under the skin. In the course
of the trial several physicians came forward
to attest that the pernicious habit OF NOR
phine injections was spreading greatly
especially among women, to the destruc-
ton of their moral and physical health.
One of these witnesses-attaChed to q large
hospital at Macon-affirmed that more
than a dozen of the day nurses were regu-
larly addicted to the use of morphine, in
one shape or another, and the habit with
them had become a second nature. 1t is,
however, in Paris-and especially in the
fashionable world Of Paris-,hat, if all we
hear be true, morphine causes the most
serious havoc to mind and body-L0nd0a

eases by offering a premium to the man
who fails to receive benefit. And yet DR..

Black beads set on wire with colored vel
vet showing up from below-in other
words, beaded bonnets lined with velvet
will be very fashionable, being an offshoot
from theopen-work jet bonnets of the sum-
mer. Braided felts are also a consequence
of summer styles rather than anything
original, and yet in some sense they are so,
since felt arranged in braid patterns is
really novel. Embroidered velvet bonnets
are also extremely pretty novelties. In
s~elfcolored silk or silver threadings. Moth
ing can be more ehaste than this silver
embroidery on black or dark-colored vel
vet, and really suitable by its rich modera-
ton for all ages; not too conspicuous for
the elderly dressy for the middle-aged nor
inappropriate for the youthful. Silver finds
its way, too, among the charming silk
embroidered b%onnets, and is here likewise,
with modest cleaning, no small addition.
Extremely beautiful opera bonnets will be
made of white or pale-colored velvet, en-
broidered in silk of gay natural %colors,

however, are fine cashmere bOnnets COW

"High-Minded" Criticism.


The Republicans, finding no legiti-
mate cause for the criticism Of Presi-
dent Cleveland, are driven to straits
which create almost as much amuse-
ment as they do disgust. Here are
samples from the Commercial:
"The President thinks he is before the
country in the act of heroic adventure when
he sits in wagon or boat and is pulled or
hauled thirty or forty miles day through
country roads o. on alleged lakes"
1.-THE President Is having his ponderous
person hauled over mountain roads and
through mountain lakes, in the idea that the
Nation is gaining strength by the resting of
the meat ON his lazy bones"
The President is taking such brief
annual vacation as is usually allotted
to every hard-working employe. He,
like many intelligent men, prefers to
get his rest on a fishing trip. He has
his wife and his wife's mother with
him. To the utmost of his power he
has made the trip q thoroughly quiet
and unostentatious one. We modestly
submit that such stuff as that quoted
above is disgrace to American citi-
zenship. Cincinnati Enquirer.
