1t is expected that President Grevy Will
summon NJ. Flouquet, who is willing to
form Cabinet. The crisis has caused a
sensation at Berlin and st. Petersburg. 1t
Is rumored that N. Herbetle, the French
Ambassador at Berlin, has sent in his
resignation. The likelihood of NJ. Flou-
quet becoming Premier Is much dis

An "Emergencyo Shelf.

Good Housekeeper.
Ii there is anything that adds to
ones comfort in an emergency it is q
closet shelf prepared for emergencies.
That is clear. Accidents, nervous
ness, sudden pain, midnight calls for
help, parcels that want doing up,
broken crockery or ornaments, all
find ready answer to their calls on
this carefully prepared shelf. 1t is so
easy to prepare and keep in order, can
be small or large, as one decides to
confine its contents to a few things or
enlarged to many. intend to give IL
list tor the smallest one that l think
it advisable for anyone to keep, be she
keeping house or boarding. First of
all come the things that are to be
ready for illness, sudden or otherwise
Camphor for faintness, headache,
or sudden attack OF diarrhoea,
although for the latter there is
nothing equal to a tablespoon
full OF raw -four in glass ofcold water,
to be taken in two doses half an hour
apart. A closely covered little box of
raw flour is easily kept on the shelf,
to be often renewed, lest it get musuy.
A small tin can OF flour and mustard,
mixed in equal parts, ready to mix
into paste for q mustard plaster, is
to me a pleasanter arrangement for @
hastily required muster plaster than
the "mustard leaves" ready at the
drug stores. In little box beside
this eau should be old linen end cotton
rags for the other hall OF the plaster,
as well as for cuts and bruises; also q
strip OF flannel, "tinger" broad and
three quarters OF a yard long, to put
upon the outside of n cotton cloth,
several times folded and wet in cold
water, for a compress for q sore
throat. Keep your case of court
plaster in this box ofrags, and a spool
of white linen thread, both convenient.
ly near the necessary pair OF small
scissors.
Camphorated oil, which is best
when made at home by dissolving
camphor gum in warm olive oil until
no more will dissolve, is invaluable in
sore throats or chests or cold on
the lungs. Rub in we'll and there will
be no cold taken afterward, as there
is after the old-fashioned "goose
grease" Vaseline is good for this
purpose also, as well as for many
others that every one knows about.
There is nothing for chapped hands
equal to glycerine and tincture of
hydrastis, fifteen drops of the latter
to an ounce of glycerine. Wash the
hands in warm water thoroughly, and
before wiping rub in little or good
deal OF the mixture, according to the
need.
Tannin, a dry, greenish powder, is a
great comfort when q sudden severe
nose-bleed occurs in the family.
Once snuffing it up well into the
nostrils generally ends the trouble.

gargle for sore throat, as it is

Ben: Per!ey Poore in the Boston Budget.
Prominent among the female spies
who gave the federal government
great deal of trouble was woman
named Baxley. She crossed the 70.
tomac from Maryland in a skiff rowed :,
by negroes, and made her way to
Richmond with many valuable arti.
cles on her person. Then she came
from Richmond to Fortress Monroe
under flag of truce, and was not DIS
covered to be a spy until the boat was
about landing it's passengers at Balti-
mora. Mrs. Baxley appeared gay on
the passage, and at breakfast a MIR.
Bingham asked her jocosely whether
she was a secessionfst, to which she
answered, yes" The boat having
landed, Mrs. Baxlcy was heard to say
that she thanked God that she had
arrived home safe, and when about
stepping ashore, Mr.. Bingham request
ed her attendance in the ladies' cabin.
AS soon as the room was reached she
took OF her bonnet, between the lining
OF which were found fifty letters sewed
in. when she exclaimed that, having
been found out, she ethought it best to
deliver over the "contrabands' and

and getting hold OF the paper tore it

was now quite disheartened, and said
she had braved all dangers for the

to be her darling desire to get her lover

Big and Little Hell.
Letter from Japan to San Francisco Bulle

Letter from Japan to San francisco Bulle-
tin.
Amidst the wild scenery OF those
mountains the boiling springs are
worthy OF notice. The Emperor, on
his visit in 1877, renamed them The
Valley OF the Little and the Valley OF
the Great Boiling, but the older and
expressive names still hold sway, and
they are known as Big and Little He'll.
The Valley OF Little He'll is easily sur
veyed. One can stand at the verge OF
the boiliog spring and see the water
bubblins and foaming with intense
heat. Some five or six places show
by the column of steam where the
boiling water issues from the ground.
the hot water is carried by pipes in
to the house below for use in tie
bathroom.
On my trip stopped at Miya-no-
Shala for dinner in an elegant hotel
owned and managed by a Japanese.
His wife is Christian and he is favor
ably disposed. I first asked for a
bath, and two or three girls guided
me to p bathroom. The water was
too hot for any one but japanese,
so after a minute or two OF prepara-
tion was called to go to d place that
was cooler. Yet Icould hardly endure
the heat. There are about twenty lit
tie bathrooms, and the hot water
from the boiling springs pours in con-
tinuously. The dinner was in foreign
style, as this place is favorite sum-
mer resort from Yokohama.
In the afternoon visited
what the natives call Big
He'll. A cloud OF steam rests
over it all the time, while the noise
is that OF q great boiling. Owing to
the crumbly nature OF the ground
several persons, both Japanese and
foreigners, have lost their lives here.
The water tastes OF sulphur and leaves
a deposit wherever is flows. Pipes
stretch for long distances carrying
the water to hotels and bathrooms.
Under these bubbling springs the fire
of q weakened volcano burns. OF all
the mountain scenery ever saw that
around Miya. Shalais the loveliest.
The mingling trees and vines, half
hiding the numerous waterfalls, give
with every turn OF the road varied

A Frcnchman's View of Ireland.

Philippe Daryl in Paris Temps
You no sooner set foot in Kingstown
than you feel yourself at once in a
country very different from England.
The Contrast is as striking as the
aspect ofDover compared with Calais.
The language, it is true, is the same,
but then there is the brogue. The
Custom-house officers are English, the
policemen are also English, and the
soldiers are dressed in English red
coats, but the people are no longer
British and their manners still less so.
Everybody is shouting and gesticulat-
ing in a style which has nothing Anglo
Saxon about it. Outbursts OF laugh
ter and sallies OF wit take place on the
slightest pretext. Bright black eyes
and chestnut locks abound on all
sides. One might imagine himself
at Nantes or Bordeaux. The passen-
gers are perhaps still less English than
all the rest. That lady with the
pale face and dark hair may for the
moment be a subject of Queen Victo-
ria, but certainly she has no. drop of
Ang glo-Saxon blood in her veins. That
gentleman in the gray ulster evidently
had his clothes made in London, but
his flesh and bone are Of different
origin. As for the little man in bl,.ck
squeezed up in the corner, not only is
ne Catholic priest, but you need to
hear him to convince yourself that he
IS not q Bas- Breton fresh from the
Seminary OF Saint Brieuc. On!arriv-
ing at Dublin the Frenchman is sur
prlsed to find the cabmen at the sta
tion so lazy and Indifferent. In Lon
don you no sooner descend than
half a dozen hansons are hovS
ering round you. In Dublin the
cabmen are either sleeping or handy
ing Jokes with one another, needless
OF customers; they seem to argue that
as you must want their services, they
need not go out OF their way to offer
it to you. However, in the matter of
fares they are justas unscrupulous as
cabmen elsewhere. Dublin is more than
capital; it is the foyer OF distinct
nationality. Everything you see and
come across is Irish. The statues are
of Irish patriots, the signboards OF the
shops are Irish, the goods are all la
beled Irish, and the green flag floats
over the city hail. Visit the muse
ums, and you will find patriotism
takes the precedence over art in all
the paintings and portraits. The spir-
it OF home rule reigns everywhere. A
people with such souvenirs. and who
foster them with such Jealous care,
must triumph one day or another.
The Dublin ladies are pretty, we'll
made and vivacious, and they dress
themselves almost as we'll as the la
dies OF Paris. Ths men all carry
heavy bludgeons in the shape of walk
ine.sticks.

The Quiet Quaker City.

Chicago Tribune.
1t is odd about Philadelphia. The
city appears dead. 1t may be stated,
for instance, that more special dis
patches come to newspaper from
Louisville or Pittsburgh or St. Louis
all smaller towns-than from Phila-
delphia. Yet there must be an inter-
nal life in the place. Men and women
must live and move and have their
being in there; and they can not live
without making such history as the
newspaper repeats. Why che news
never appears is one of the conum-
drums which trouble the thoughtful
man in journalism. Hecan not under
stand why specials" so seldom come
from Philadelphia. The town has a
population crowding hard upon amill-
ion; the people i'll Philadelphia have
human weaknesses and passions.
Why are there no strange stories from
the town? Does the ghost OF William
Penn still walk, and are the people Of
Philadelphia really better than those
OF other cities, or is the model repu-
tation OF the place merely the result
of accident?

The speaker was Rev. Father Smith,
OF the Order OF Dominicans, whose
unique experience is recorded in

young and intelligent. He is native
OF Ottawa, and from the Oblat Fa-

religiously inclined he abandoned home

A Confederate Scare.

Col. John r. Towers, principal keep
er OF the penitentiary, aided and abet-
ted in one of the most cruel Jokes OF
the war. The Federals were leisurely
firing shells into some Confederate
works, and the bombs were falling and
bursting in such uncomfortable near
ness that the soldiers had dug holes in
the ground and were hiding az best
they could. The Colonel and some
friends got hold of an unexploded shell
and stuffed it full of fuse. When the
next report was heard, the fuse was
touched of, and after q moment the
bomb was dropped into the mouth OF
one OF the gopher" holes where several
soldiers were sheltered. "Zip-zip-zip-
z-z-z-zip-zip-zip-zip!" went the fuse for
several minutes. Howl after howl
went up as the soldiers expected to be
blown into atoms. After q time the
spluttering fuse burned out and things
Quilted down.--Atlanta Constitution.
