Speaking Of great people, l must not

BILE Mars the Count Won Moltke, the
master of the 4last argument" as Prince
Won Bismarck is master of the earlier
dialects of international controversy. AS
j was walking M day in Bellevue av-
enue I saw standing upon the curbstone
a thin little man, with an absent look.
wearing a tall black cap with the red
stripe which all German officers wear.
and with a great military coat thrown
over his shoulders, the sleeves dangling
by his sides. l suppose he was waiting
for somebody. When he turned and
looked you in the face you might see
that his eyes were by no e dull, al
though he was over so. His clean
shaven, wrinkled face and thin white
hair were not handsome, but impressive,
though his herd was small and his eyes
set too near together. The genius of
war, this thin wrinkled symbol Of force,
left his curbstone and paced slowly
down the street, giving the military sa-
Lutte now and then to those whom he
passed on his way.-Cor. Boston Com

In laying down the law Professor
Jaeger asserts that if you want to be
healthy you must wear wool from the
crown of your head to the sole Of your
boot. The wool after being shorn from
the sheep is woven lengthwise of the
fibers, which are laid side by side as in
their natural state. This is known as the
stockinet process of weaving and assists
in the absorption Of the substances
thrown off by the sweat glands. When
it is at all practicable Professor Jaeger
does not use any dyes, preferring as he
says to keep the wool in its natural con
dition. Stockings on the Jaeger principle
are equipped with five toes, just like a
glove. That, it is claimed, prevents the
formation of corns and allows the foot
t o throw off the effete substances. The
leather shoes are lined with wool, and
by supplying the heel with a vent COM
~municating with the perforations under
the inside sole, a free current of air
around the foot is kept up when walk
ing. As examples of what can be made
of wool, handkerchiefs are woven, fine
and white as the purest linen. The hats
are lined with wooden bands, and even
cuffs and collars are made Of wool.
Professor Jaeger claims that the odor
of camel's hair, which is so easily dis
tinguishable, has a most beneficial use.
He asserts that it produces sleep in per-
sons suffering from insomnia, and he
advises them to sleep on pillows covered
with camel's hair and stuffed with feath-
ers.-New York Star.

There is a prejudice against boarding
houses in New York. AT all events it is
exceedingly questionable to live in one
and the people who are not supplied by
caterers from choice, are from awe OF
the form of fashion. Contracts to serve
meals may be made with the big restau-
rants at rates far below the regular fig
ures on the bill of fare. But perhaps
the caterer is most highly appreciated
by people who entertain. Instead OF
bulldozing the regulation Irish cook into
preparing a dinner for a number of
guests n note to the caterer settles it all.
There is then no hurry, no delay, no
wranglings with servants and the surety
OF n good dinner well and promptly
served.
Half an hour before it is time for the
pattern, with a chimney through the
roof, drives up. Nimble assistants carry
In the wine from the refrigerator in one
end of the wagon, and the edibles from
the hot compartments in the other end.
Everything is here, from the flowers to
the salt. The regular servants retire
and the caterer takes possession of the
kitchen, pantry and dining-room until
the guests have gone. Then the wagon
drives up again. and in twenty minutes
all traces of the dinner party, whether
TO six or 100 guests, have disappeared.
This plan Of giving dinners grows more
and more popular every year. New
York Letter.

The Jap is the most skilled of all ORR
entail Jugglers. The wonderful tales re-
lated OF the marvellous feats performed
by the c%onjurers of India are mere fairy
stories. The Indian juggler does not
compare in skill with the professional
magicians OF America or Europe. Their
tricks are such clumsy affairs that they
can not be termed optical illusions. No
trained western performer would think
OF giving them as they do. Crude MS
they are. however, they nave furnished
most OF the ideas for the development of
the wonderful stage illusions of the day.
The Indian juggler has neither skill nor
enterprise. He does not travel to other
lands. but remains at home and gives his
little performances in the streets and
squares. He knows nothing Of the science
employed in latter-day lcgcrdemain. He
does not understand what electricity or
compressed air means. For, you must
know, electricity and compressed air are
the modern magician's most important
tools. Some OF our best illusions are
performed by the means Of delicate
unhab glass used to confine the COM
pressed air. The stories Of the marvels
the Indian performs have their origin in
~ prolific oriental Imagination

/ Glanced to be a fellow passenger
with n celebrated variety actor, whose
neatly mouthed Irish brogue has made
him famous. Just as the train was
starting out of Pittsburg the Irish COM
median, who was on the platform,
thought he would have some fun with a
party of Hibernian laborers or Turks"
as they are usually called, who were
cracking stone near the track. The
actor opened up on them in an Irish dia-
lect that was simply inimitable. and as
they talked back to him every conceiva-
BILE variety of brogue the effect was con-
vulsing for a time. The laborers grew
hotter and hotter, and their voices grew
higher as the shrill abuse of the come
dian went on. At last with a frenzied
shout a little red-whiskered Irishman
seized n stone and sent it whizzing at
his tormentor. In an instant every win
dow in the car was broken, and the en-
gineer pulled the train hurriedly out of
the way to escape a fusilade of flying
stones. The Irishmen fell to humping
one another after the train had got away,
and it required the services of sixteen
policemen to quell the riot. The actor
enjoyed it all and still tells the story with
gusto.-Brooklyn Eagle.

TESTIMONY for the defense in the An
archy trial reveals the fact that the accused
were merely ~endeavoring to bring about
great social reforms and agitating for the
establishment of great moral principles.
1t is not thought singular by the sympa-
thetic witnesses that men engaged in such
a benevolent design should have dyna-
mite bombs in their rooms concealed under
beds, beneath floors and in all sorts of out
of the way places. 1t is difficult to conceive
what benefcent purpose such implements
could serve in a crusade of moral suaslon.
Herr Most, who finds leisure in the inter
walls Of his forced labor, to write for the
Freiheit, takes altogether a different view
Of the subject and Eliminates against the
judicial scoundrels Of Chicago in his
accustomed vein, while ITO the accusers
and their pcrjured witnesses" he says,

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.

For more than a quarter Of a century
there has been on the part of the Mexi-
can government an indifference, and on
the part of the populace a marked an
tipathy toward Americans, which have
led on every possible occasion to a total
disregard of their rights. Citizens ofthe
United States residing in Mexico have
never been placed on an equality with the
British or Germans. This has been part
ly on account of the fact that this repub-
lie was the only friend among the nations
who extended aid and comfort to the
Mexicans in their struggle against foreign
invasion and u%surpation. They had
nothing to fear from a friend; almost any
apology would suffice to explain a personal
outrage or the levy of tribute. On the
other hand, any attempt at high-handed
measures against q British subject always
brought an armed vessel to the seaport
nearest the scene of outrage within a very
few days. Several such attempts were
luauc ~ ilhLhttdu anu hiWhyS TcuItSSeu
or remedied on the spot without circum
l~ocution or red tape. Such a course
might look like bullying an inferior, but
the opposite line Of conduct towards half
barbarous brigands is sure to be attrib-
uted to fear and to lead to a repetition Of
the %offense. If something is not speedily
done to impress the Mexican mind with
respect for the United States, their citi-
zens can only venture into Mexico at the
risk OF all kinds of indignity and oppres-
sion. The cause of the meanest and
vilest is worth championing if it involves
a principle equally applicable to the
proudest and the best. The idea Of an
nexation should not be entertained; it is
not needed and ought rather to deter than
stimulate any thoughtful American in
clined to favor extreme measures. The
state governments hat permit and the
mongrel population that perpetrates such
atrocities as have many times been al
lowed and committed, can scarcely be re-
garded as fit material either for statehood
or citizenship under the American Union.

HAVING secured compensation for their
clerks and defeated the bill proposing to
interfere WITH the senatorial perquisitcs OF
lawyers-or the professional perquisites Of

lr WILL be time enough two years
hence to begin practical consideration OF
candidates and principles, but speculation
in early booms is wholly proitless, though
not without its amusing side. For instance,
a Boston paper comes out for Cleveland
and Morrison, upon the following brief
and comprehensive platform: "a tariff
for revenue, and all disputes about silver,
greenbacks and paying of the public debt
to be postponed until 1892" Observe
the conspicuous omission to mention la

EFFECTIVE retaliation would probably
put an end to Canadian interference with
New England fishing interests. The rail
road business of the Grand Trunk line
passes through Canadian territory in
transit from our eastern seaboard to
western cities. If trains we're compelled
to discharge at the boundary line, there
is one important interest in the Dominion
which would incline to disapprove of a
strict enforcement of the three mile

INVENTION OF BEETHOVEN.

what Thackeray Says In a -NoveI-shrewd
Proprietor of a Music Shop.
Sir George Grove explains how it has
come about that a piece of music called
"The Dream of st. Jerome" by L. v.
Beethoven is now on sale. 1t was in
vented by Thackeray, who was not q
musician. In his novel, "Philip," Thack-
cray speaks of Beethoven's Dream of
st. Jerome" which the narrator OF Phil
ip's adventures on his way through the
world says always soothes me and
charms me, so that 1 fancy it is a poem
of ~Tennyson's in music" and he declares
that 1.-THE music with its solemn charm
makes us all very happy and kind
hearted, and enobles us somehow as we
listen"
1t was inevitable that readers of
Thackeray should desire to know the
music; and a demand for the piece was
made at a certain music shop. Probably
it was made at many music shops, the
proprietors Of which regretted they they
were not acquainted with the piece, and
promised to make inquiries. But this
was not the answer Of the shrewd
proprietor Of one particular shop. He
perceived that there was likely to be q
demand for the music, and he deter
mined that the mere fact of its not be-
ing in existence should in no way pre-
vent him from supplying it. The omis-
sion of Beethoven to write such a piece
as that which Thackeray described him
as having written was one which an en-
terprising publisher felt must be imme-
diately repaired.
"'Sir,' he said, addressing the Gus
toner, the piece is for the moment out
of print, but we shall have copies in a
few days, and n shall be sent you;' and
then, turning to one of his myrmidons
(who shall be nameless), he said, Now
---, you know your Beethoven;
look sharp and cook up something The
myrmidon was worthy of his employer;
the piece was concocted and engraved,
and has been on sale ever since" Thack-
cray was thinking, it appears, of a song
which Moore adapted" from one of
Beethoven's most familiar sonatas.-

1t is possible to keep the adult lobster
alive for a long period in a moist, cold
atmosphere. At As degrees f., in a
proper device, Holsters have been kept
alive and in good condition for fifteen
days, and in a moist atmosphere only,
their gills not having been immersed in
water during the whole period. This
discovery renders it possible to transport
living adult Holsters across the continent,
and to stock the waters of the Pacific
coast. 1t Is also possible to pack the
lobster eggs in sea-weed in a similar

SINCE his return to England, Matthew
Arnold has expressed the belief that the
weight Of public opinion in this country is
against Gladstone on home rule, and that
the sympathy so generally manifested for
ireland is influenced by a desire to please
the lrish-conclusions scarcely warranted
by fact, but which have doubtless been
