Life is of unreckonable valuable to

reposes on the love of woman, and he
most honors himself land so adds to his
worth) who acknowledges his depend
ence on the source of his highest happi-
ness, to wit:
Woman, oven woman, who did give
ear to the voice of the serpent, more
subtle than any beast of the field; who
saw that the tree was good for food,
pleasant to the eyes and tree to be de-
sired, and who has ever since borne
with sublime fortitude her penalty of
multiplied sorrow.
Truly her seed hath bruised the ser

laid on her first beguiler And though
the ground be accursed. though it bring
forth thorns and thistles to goad and
sting the man, though he eat bread in
the sweat of his face till he return to

love it has been greatly said, "An

MODERN Luxury.
What American Extravagance Has Pro-
vided for the Bedroom OF q Child.

what American Extravagance Has Pro-
vIded for the Bedroom of q Child.
From the point Of extravagance,
nothing exceeds that of the bedroom Of
a child, little girl of 8.
The floor is lnlaid and in the centre
is a carpet of thickly-piled Wilton,
pearly IN ground, overstrewn with
roses. The ceiling was painted. A
lattice apparently half shuts it in, and
over it climbs wild roses.
In the centre the sky appears. One
trailing branch has wandered out
across the blue, and around the roses
on its stem q swarm of butterflies flut-
ter, making, in fact, the central orna-
ment of the ceiling.
The walls are hung with pale gray
silk, brocaded with rosebuds. The
woodwork Is white mahogany, beau
tifully carved. The mantel has fes-
toons of roses carved in relief above
fre-facings Of white onyx.
Just outside the brass fender-rim is
a cushion of blue velvet, where the
little feet are warmed. The furniture
Is of white mahogany.
The bed has a half canopy, and on
its outer edge two doves are perched,
and from their beaks on each side,
over to the Guardian doves pcrched on
the posts. These garlands confine cur
tains of silk bOlting cloth, thin as
q fairy web, embroidered with roses,
pink and yellow, dropping their
petals from fold to fold. On the bed
Is a spread on which roses seem to have
been thrown in careless luxurinnce.
The mirror reaches to the floor and
is set between two chests of drawers
1t Is framed in composition ornnmented
with cream and gold, and above is q
panel modelled in relief, in which q
mermaid combs out her long hair.
OF this chamber, the appointments
of which cannot bo enumerated, is q
dressing-room lined with white
enamel tiles. Here is q porcelain bath
and marble toilet, on which are laid
the superb silver mounted toilet
articles, and where 3 maid is in
attendance.
Just what this little maid can have
when she is grown, her indulgent par
ents have not yet considered n. Y.

Fine Writing and Good Writing.

Just as people OF little experience In
social life are sometimes dazzled by a
lavish display OF Jewels, 50 young writer's
are apt to mistake for fine writing a
style in which long words. foreign
phrases, and gorgeous figures are used.
clear. direct. simple form Of express
sion is far better.
A young college graduate, a reporter
OF a weekly paper in a rural City, thought
no doubt that he had done some very
fine writing when he handed the follow
ing to the editor:
Our flourishing and prosperous
young city was last evening the scene of
the mo II disastrous conflagration it has
Yet Witnessed
Tho dcvouring element first broke
out in the mercantile establishment Of
Horner K Co, which magnificent ediflce
1t consumed before its progress could be
arrested in the slightest degree.
g Our knights of the hoOk-and-ladder
responded nohly to tho claugor of the
alarm-bcll, and essayed manfully to
combat the mighty element OF flame and
darkcning smoke, but their utmost en-
deavors were unayailing in rescuing the
bu lding from the annihilating aud in
cendiary flames, for there is uncontro-
vertible testimony that the widespread
confiagratiOn was the Immediate result
OF diabolical inccn 'iarism.
The perpetrators will yet be overtaken
by the sure and keen arm Of the law,
whose majesty they have thus outraged
and offended.
THE aggregate loss Is IN excess Of
four thousand dollars"
The editor put the reporters manu-
script aside. and wrote the following,
which appeared in the next mornings
paper:
The dry-goods house of Horner 4 Co.
was burned to the ground last night the
fames having made such headway be-
fore the alarm was given that the engine
company arrived too late to do more
than keep the fire from spreading to
other buildings.
g 1t Is thought that the buildings were
set on fire.
The loss Is about four thousand dol
lars. partly covered by insurance.

The VALUE OF SLEEP.

The restoration of energy, which sleep

under similar circumstances too fre-
quently refuses to rest

fear that their employment In the sb-
sence Of any medical authority is largo
ly on the increase.
Many of the proprietary articles
sold by druggists, and in great demand
1t the present day, owe their efficacy to
one or more Of these powerful drugs.
Not few deaths have been caused by
their use, and in still larger number
Of cases they have helped 10 produce
the fatal result.
SleePlessness Is almost always nccom-
panied by Indigestion in some one or
other of its protesn forms, and the two
conditions react upon and aggravate
each other.
If rest cannot be obtained, and If the
vital machine cannot be supplied with
due amount of fuel, and, moreover,
fails to utilize that which is supplied,
mental and bodily collapse cannot be
far distant. The details of the down
ward process vary, but the result is
much the Same in all cases
Sleeplessness and loss Of appetite
are followed by loss Of Resh and

Boycot,ing Declared Illegal.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May I3.-:Judge Pickett in the City Court to-day over. ruled the demurrer entered by the de. fense in the case of Benjamin F.

The judge held that the threat Ito boycott" is athreat to do any illegal act, and we'll calculated to intimidate as within the meaning ot the statute of this State pro- viding penalties for intimidation.
 Prof J. T. Platt, counsel for Glidden, says he will take the matter to the Supreme Court of the State. The case will go to trial on it's merits on Saturday.
 "Puck" has been boycotted by the New Haven Trades Council, and those business houses whose proprietors are known to be subscribers to the paper, have been ordered to cease taking it under penalty of the boycott.

The Boycotter is really the twin brother of the anarchist-or rather a would-be anarChist-and the extent to which the latter are prepared to go, has recently been shown at Chicago. Anar- chy is the logical outcome of boycotting. The anti-Chinese question has already been lost sight of in Tombstone. It is now simply an attempt on the part of certain men to make their neighbors do as MT. Bagg, or the Mayor of the city, choose them to do. Should they succeed in this then the other proposition follows

Trouble Ahead in Ireland.

NEW YORK, May I3.-James O'Kelly cables from London to the Herald The government has introduced the arms bill with the view, at the proper moment, to disarm the Orangemen in case they should pass from threats to action. This measure will probably be resisted by the Tories and the Orange party in the house of commons. Hitherto arms acts have always been passed with view to the coercion of the Irish people, but, by C. strange change of circumstances, the next arms act will have for its object the protection of them from Orange violence instituted by the Irish and English land lords. Lords Wolseley and Beresfords connection with this Orange conspiracy has been known for long time, and though it may be denied, the correctness ofthe statement may be relied upon. By threatening rebellion, and if need be, wholesale murder, the Orange party hopes to revive religious fanatcism in En. gland and Scotland to such pitch as to secure the owe rlhrow of Gladstone's government. It is not certain that they will not succeed. Their leaders are re- solute and interruptions, They have everything to gain by provoking disorder and preventing peaceable settlement of the home rule question even by provok. ing a civil war.

It will be we'll for miners to pause, before rushing for the Honduras gold fields, of which so much has been writ ten. A spondent of the New York Engineering and Mining Journal, writes from Honduras, to warn miners against rushing to that country. As some men in this.section have been talking of go- ing down there, it may be we'll to give an extract from this letter. The corre- spondent says:
 "To have twenty thousand men in Honduras in six mouths from now-and have heard that number suggested as possible-would put the country back fifty years, There is no use for them, there is no food for them, there is no transportation for them, and l believe can say, speaking relatively, there is no good for them.
 For two hundred years, the Spaniards and the natives have been washing gold in the Guayape river, which runs through the Department of Olancho. They have washed with a bateae, doing little sluicing, and feeling satisfied if they got 25 cents day. Women are now washing there who are glad to get two dollars month for their labor
 do not believe that there is rich place accessible where a poor man could make wages washing. The Osgood outfit spent long time looking along the river for placers, but never got anything, understand, although have not seen their work, that two men, an English man and Frenchman, are working in the vicinity of Bejeau. They have sluices up, but are no; making an enor- nous thing out of it,
 Honduras offers a large tract of min eral land, placer and other; but a poor man cannot come here and expect to wash enough gold to pay his way. say this earnestly, and have many to sup port me, and most sincerely trust that no man who is not abundantly able to buy mule or two and keep himself for SIX months should start for Honduras"
