/ remarked that with such system
made general, there would be admirable
opportunities for raising the tone of the
tenants.
Undoubtedly; and I have great faith
in that. Improve the tone OF the dwell
ers in these houses, and they will no
longer be content with filthy rooms, but
will endesvor to better their position"
"You have no specific of your own,
Mr.. Barnett?"
"Vague ideas one, of course, hae; but
as such it is not worth while to formulate
them. One thing I should tell you: we
are hoping to try kind OF cooperative
house. We propose to tell the tenants
that we will share among them the whole
of the profits above per cent, and by this
means we hope TO induce them to keep
down the bill for repairs, which some
times amounts to 40 per cent of the en-
tire income from houses of this claee.
This is q form of proft-sharing which
has not, think, yet been tried in this
connection"

DISHES OF THE ROMANS.

The Romans had almost all the veg
tables we have except the potato and TO-
mato, and they both boiled and stewed
them. Raw salads we're in vogue, but,
like the modern italian, they also affect
ed them boiled. OF the sweets the Ro
mans had numerous dishes, and among
the recipes given by Apicius may be
found those for custard and for omelettes
and cheese-cakes. Snails they fried and
sauced in various ways; eggs they fried,
boiled, and served with sauces. The diff
ferences between the Roman and En-
glish styles of cookery are differences
only of detail, not of principle. They
cooked their fish, flesh, fowl and vegeta-
bles in manner more or less identical
with ours; their sweets present less SINH
larity, but there are resemblances even
in them. Their pot herbs are all in use
at the present day, except laser, which
has not been rejected by us, but is lost or
unrecognized at the present time. But
perusal of Apicius shows that Roman
cookery was intended for stomachs weak
ened by luxury; the rationale of the Ro-
man sauces was to promote digestion by
raising the tone of the stomach. Thus
strong and warming condiments were
unsparingly used, such as caraway, anise,
cummip, celery seeds; also pine nuts,
juniper, laurel and lentiee berries. Mus.
tard, strange to say, they used very tim
idly, only in boils and stews, never with
roasts and broils. Pepper they used to
everything fish, flesh and fruit. 1t was
first introduced into Rome in the time of
Pliny, and its brusque and fiery taste
startled the senses of the bon vivants of
the city. In fact. pepper was new SEN
sation when first introduced into Europe,
and the Romans fell in love with it. It
did not supersede, however, the rue and
lovage they had previously used to pro
duce similar effects. They used ell three,

FRENCH AND ENGLISH SAWS.

We English seem to have selected the
mouse as an emblem in our GAS dumb as
a mousse" the French have preferred
glass, for they say "As dumb as a glass;"
We say GAS deaf as post" the French,
"As deaf as a pot" GAS dull as ditch
water" Gallicized becomes GAS sad as
nightcap." "Don't count your chickens
before they are hatched," is changed into
"Don't sell the skin of bear before hav-
ing killed it." Instead of "Biting off
ones nose to spite ones face" similar
iy useless experiment is illustrated by
splitting in the air that it may fall on
ones nose." The self evident impossi-
bility in the words, "You can't get blood
out of stone," is represented by, Zone
could not comb thing that has no hair"
This last also ''goes without saying"
which, as literally translated from the
French, now forms proverb in our own
language. In the proverb, Zone man may
can't make him drink" our neighbors
have not appropriately selected an lass"
as the illustrative animal. "When you're
in Rome, you must do as Rome does,'
every Englishman will tell you; though
few, perhaps could say why Rome was
chosen as an example and whether it is
more necessary when in Rome to follow
the general lead than anywhere else, is to
us matter of doubt. To the French
man the idea is sufficiently well express

to the point, is in itself scarcely so intel
ligible as the somewhat longer sentence,

as every one will admit; our neighbors
go further than this, and in choosing a
"scalded cat" as the object of considera-
ton, speak of it as being in fear of "cold'

distrust of the cat, having once been

THE MOTHERLY CARE OF SOME
FISHES

THE MOTHERLY CARE OF SOME
FISHES.
The black bass in this section of the
country, cast their spawn principally
during the month of June. They pre-
pare their nests on rocky bottom, and
after the spawn has been cast and
impregnated. the female stands guard
over them during the Matching period,
which is usually from five to seven days
varying according to the temperature Of
the water. After they are Matched the
young fry are about as helpless as young
robins, hence the mother stays with them
until they have learned to feed, and then
the brood scatter, and the family ties are
severed forever. The black bass is a very
plucky and gamy fish, and when in
charge of the little ones is very ferocious.
and will dart at all intruders who venture
near, and unless they make haste to get
ont Of the way, some one is very liable to
get hurt. The brook trout is considered
a much more gentle fish, lives in beauti-
full little streams, and is much more hand
some to look upon, but for all that they
are cannibals in their nature, and would
not hesitate to devour their own spawn
or young fry if they felt the need of them.
In all waters suitable for them, the black
bass increase very rapidly, forty or fifty
mature fishes being sufficient to stock
any waters in the course of few years.
The reason of this is because of the pro-
lection given their young.

HOMES FOR THE LONDON POOR

HOMES FOR THE LONDON POOR.
Upon the housing of the London poor
Mr.. Barnett is an authority. His views
upon the subject are decided, and differ
in many respects materially from those
held by many people who have less in
innate acquaintance with it. He con-
siders that the good management and
administration of tenement houses are
much more important and infinitely
more likely to produce the wished for re-
suit, than new legislation; and that Sir
Richard Cross's Act, properly worked, is
amply sufficient to meet all needs. I
asked him if he deemed it possible to
secure the lowering of rents paid by the
poor.
81 do not see any way to get lower
rents" was his reply. "The result of
reducing rents is that the cheap houses
are at once filed with the higher class of
artisans; and the very poor, with large
families, are more crowded than before.
am therefore driven to believe that the
only remedy for the present state of
things lies in better administration, part
ly by the owners of the houses. The
sanitary inspectors should see that the
sanitary laws are kept much more strict
ly. The drainage should be improved
and the water supply rendered more
abundant. Pressure should be brought
to bear upon landlords who would not
do their duty by their property; and il
they did not like it they would soon sell
their houses. Then the administration
of property should be left much less to
agents than it is at present The relations
of landlords with their poor tenants
ought to be much closer than they are,
and there is no reason why the owners of
London property should take less inter-
est in their tenants than a country squire
takes in his cottagers. Let them collect
the rents personally or through friends,

CHARITIE.


The beams of morning are renewed,
The valley laughs their light to see;
And Earth is bright with gratitute,
And Heaven with Charitie.
o. dew of Heavenl o, light of Earth
Fain would our hearts be filed with thee,
Because nor darkness comes. nor death,
About the heme of Charlie.
God guides the stars their wandering way,
He seems to cast their courses free,
But binds unto Himself for aye;
And ali their chains are Charitie.
when first he stretch'd the sisnt d zone,
And heaped the hills. and barred the sea,
Then Wisdom sat beside His throne.
But His own word was Charitie.
And still, through every age and hour,
OF things that were and things that be,
Are breathed the presence and the power
OF everlasting Charlie.
By noon and night, by sun aud shower.
BY dews that fail and winds that flee,
On grove and field, on fold and flower,
Is shed the peace of Charlie.
The violets light the lonely hill.
The fruitful burrows load the lea;
Mans heart alone is sterile still,
For lack of lowly Charlie.
He walks weary vale within,
No lamp of love in heart hath he
His steps are death, his thoughts are sin,
For lack of gentle Charlie.
Daughter of Heavenl we dare not lift
The dimness of our eyes to thee,
O. pure and God-descended giftl

Yet foras much thy brow is crest
With blood drops from the beautiful tree,
We take thee for our only trust.

oREELEY,s TEETH.

About 1870 or 1871, Horace Greeley
passed through Brownsville, Tenn, on
his way to visit Texas. Mr.. Spencer
Harrington Thomas, a prominent citizen
of Brownsville, travelled with Mr.. Greeley
to Memphis. In the course of a CONVEX
sation between the two gentlemen, some-
thing suggested TO Mr.. Greeley to an
pounce the information that lie had but
thirteen teeth. What made the infor-
nation remarkable was that Mr.. Greeley
had declared that he had never had a
greater number, nature never having
given him but thirteen. = atlanta Con-

young lawyer who used to go with Belle

"Why, Helen, you seem unusually in-
tereated,' said the mother, which remark
was intended to be in the nature of a re-
proof.
well, he is very gentlemsnly, and
warm friend Of the superintendent. He
said he had heard good report of my
work.
L told you, Hemingway, that she's the
noblest girl we ever had here" remarked
the superintendent, on the way home
with bis friend. She supports her
mother, takes an active part in the Sun
day-school, and never eeems to know that
she is both clever and pretty. A good
chance for young lawyer, eh?"
"Not bad, Chester. The girls I've
known have been too much of one kind,
stylish and shallow, but little help to a
man who expects to go to Congress, or
be governor in a Western STATED" and
Hemingway laughed, but the words
meant much.
In course of time the lawyer called
again at the school, and by and by at the
house where Helen Waite boarded. The
mother grew somewhat anxious for her
daughters happiness. "You must re-
member, dear, that our circle in life has
been different from his. We are still
poor, and you must take no encourage
ment from his attentions"
I'll keep my heart whole for you and
Arthur" was the response.
Month after month went by. The
young lawyer was learning that nobility
of character and industrious habits are
as superior to money and social position
as diamond is to common coal.

Years after, when Helen had become
the wife Of the lawyer, who had reached
one of the highest places the State has to
give, and Arthur was his law partner,
Mr.. CORTLAND said to his wife: 1T paid,
Mary, for Mrs. Waite to educate that
girl. Living on side street didn't hurt
her. If our Belle had been as helpful

loved by scholars, sympathizing especial
ly with any who were poor. At the end
of the year she was re-engaged, and now
she began to grow anxious for the mother
to come West and make home with her.
Mrs. Waite had given her consent that
the Courtlands should send Arthur to a
preparatory school for college, where he
would be in good care, and the house on
the side street, where SO many happy
hours had been spent, became vacant.
