the color Of youth to locks which have
become faded with age or disease; and

the chances are rather for an advance before

cheap food, and whoever will preserve them
until winter will be pretty sure of profit.
Dipping the eggs in strong lime water and

them. They should be in tight box, which

Mr.. Tilden was regarded only as a poll
tician by most of his countrymen. This
was far from correct. He was a very YER
satile man, highly cultivated in rare direc-
tons. Let me refer to his fondness for
e~ngravings as a proof. An agent in Berlin,
another in Paris, another in London,
another in Philadelphia and another in
New York city had directions to send to
Tilden every engraving which they
thought he would like. If he did like il,
he would keep it and pay for it. If he did
not like it, he would return it. paying ex-
press charges both ways. These engrav-
ings were nearly all portraits of historical
characters in politics or the arts. He did
not care how many enRravings he had OF
the same man. In one portfolio you
would find $50 Cromwells, in another 100
of Frederick the Great, in another over
200 of Bacon or 80 Of Mirabeau, while his
portraits of jefferson, Franklin, Voltaire,
Tom Paine, Horace Walpole, Marcy, Van
Buren, and Silas Wright were scarcely
less numerous.
l have Known Mr.. Tilden on the same
evening to talk art with Page or Bier
stadt, medicine with DR.. Frank Hamilton
and the late DIR. Austin Flint, history
with Mr.. Bancroft and DR.. Draper, poetry
with Mr.. Bryant, mechanics with Peter
Cooper and politics with any statesman
who was present. In all these converse
tions he would hold his own on even
terms with the highest expert in the sub
ject discussed. His knowledge of the
drama was extensive. HIS fondness for
sculpture was bassd-upon a profound
knowledge OF the technique of the art, as
well as of ~thessststory OF its celebrities,
His familiaety with medicine was based
upon a careful reading of books on surgery
and upon n practical knowledge of botany
and mineralogy.-Cor Brooklyn Eagle.

A CHAPTER ON LUXURY.


century ago Franklin thought IL
worth while to discuss the increase oil
luxury In this country. He says he had
not thought "of "a remedy for luxury"
and was not sure that in a great state 1t
is capable Of remedy Then he set aim
self to show the mitigations and possible
utilities Of IL, and concluded that w may
hope the luxry OF a few merchants on the
coast will not be the ruin of America" |
know not with exactness whether the
delicacies which Franklin styled luxuries,
would not seem stark rudeness and sim
plicity beside what now we behold; but
there is little risk in thinking 20. For
such is the increase of desires with DOS
sessions hat the ease of one q is but "A
hardship in the next, and the elegances
OF one epoch the rusticities OF the sue
ceeding.
Wherefore, il we ask what luxury is,
we snali lind many different for
1t Is sand truly that every indulgence be
yonl what is usual Is commonly termed
luxury, and ce asses to be luxury when IL
turns hnoitual. Thus every historian,
ancient and modern, while he inveighs
against the luxury OF hts W time, won
ders at the former historians for charac-
t~erizing as luxuries what he considers as
convenience merely, or rational improve
mcnts." For example, n writer of the
fourteenth century censures his country
men for having luxury in having cnim-
neys and wells. table cloths and silver
forks and spoons, even tallow candles set
In iron or copper candlesticks, and two
fires, zone for the chamber and one for
the kitchen" this writer thinks, smack of
delicate excess. Hollinshed scents lux
ury In using oak for building dwellings.
"When our houses were builded of will
low, he writes, then we had oaken men;
but now that our houses are made of oak,
our men nrc not only become willow, but,
rs Persian delicacies creep in among us,
altogether for straw, which IL a sore alter

~Highlanders, benighted, wrapped them
selves up in their plaids and lay down in
the snow to sleep. A young gentleman,
making up n ball of snow, used 1t for II
pillow. His father. striking away the
ball with his foot, What, sir! says he,
are You turning efTeminate2'" One
writer defines luxury very precisely, II
not wisely; he says it is habitual excess of
a hurtful character In the pleasures OF
taste, touch and smelling; these senses he
considers the merely corporal senses, with
no such relation to the mind as the eye
and the ear have. But he takes a wide
scope for the sense of o ch, for he argues
hat 'the increase of wheel carriages
within n century is a pregnant proof OF
the growth of luxuries or incidence. -
