No. W.niaI Beds.

The belrl oms in all the Norwegian inns are the same small boxes, not large enough to swinga chair in. Through out Norway the beds are the same nar- row collins, no wider than steamer berth, with the same high sides, presum. ably to keep one from falling out, if he should incautously move or turn during the night. To add to the tor mcnt of these bcrths, the pill ow is a fiat feather thing that you could put in your pocket, and beneath it turks broad wedge-shaped bolster arrangement that keeps one sliding down to the footboard, unless he can retain his place by bracing at full length at an angle and attitude that the human frame only assumes on an unlertaker's or dissccting table. Iu one Norwegian inn where the dusting maid wanted to do her kindest she put a wedge at the head and foot of my berth, and dreamed that lay in hammock that touched the ground. The white spread that covers the bed in the day time like pail, or sheet on sweeping day, is carefully put away at night, and one struggles with quilts and blankets that arc always too short and too wide for the narrow bunk, and can never be made fast to the footboard. These are minor things, however, that one con tends with everywhere in the towns, will lages and on frequent roads, and he must go off the beaten track to find the true Norwegian bed that is only four feet long, very narrow and built into the side of the room, where it can be shut up like a cupboard all day long. At Nystucn there was an cxacting Englishman six feet in stature who insisted on seeing the beds before he would take h.s traps off his carriole. He found them many inches too short for his gaunt frame, and drove on to the next place for the night. - Globe Democrat.

''In new dictionary of biography, containing forty thousand names," says the New York Herald, Gall the Roth schilds and Astors put together receive only as many lines as arc accorded to Harriet Beecher Stowe. Cornelius Van derbilt receives less attention than Paga- mini, and A. T. Stewart no more than Daniel Lam ,ert, the fat man. Even the three rich benefactcrs-Girard, George Peabody and Sir Moses Montetiore-- united take less room than John Wesley or Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Character In q MOustache. 1.

There is lots of character in a nous. tache--an immense amount of bad char. acter in many of them not, perhaps, in the moustachc proper, but in its sur roundings. Oac does not realize how necessary is this aid to male beauty un. til a moustache wearer sheds the orna- ment. Then we see the mouth and chin in all its unplcasantness, and most of them arc unpleasant. The mouth is said to indicate character more thoroughly than any other feature. It is odd, then,
 that men so often give themselves away. Society men by men I compliment the supper cubs and cane suckers like socie- ty women run in grooves. If one sim pleton returned from the east leaves his beauty with the barber, our resident simpletons rush to their barbers, and we have colony of hude-lipped youths in no time. With most of them, their face is not their fortune, so tri fle more or less of ugliness does not matter. The only class who guard their moustaches as care fully as n mother sleeping infant are actors. IL is mopey in thsir puzse. 6en 41 A&S& &sSk

The United States consul at Sydney, New South Wales, in his last report on the diamond mines of that region, points out the suggestive fact that the famous Kimberley mine, of South Africa, has produced more diamonds during the last fifteen years than the whold world had produced for two centuries previous y. With the development and proba ble discovery of new mines it seems as if 1t were only a matter of comparatively short time before the diamond will have lost the enyiable position it now holds among jewels.

HAVE PRICES TOUCHED BOT.
TON

There are signs that the fall in the
prices of staple commodities, which has
been going on for the pact thirteen years,
is about coming to an end. Taking the
omist prints figures to show that the
average price, or index number, OF %
leading articles, which on January l was
2,023, and on April l was 2,0l7, had
risen on July | to 2,O26. This is still a
little below the level of July l, 1885,
but that the movement should seem to
be at ali upward is encouraging.
The articles which have chiefly been
affected by the rise are wool, cotton,
silk, tin, lead and breadstuffs. The main
depressing elements are iron and steel,
which. owing to the breakup of the
British manufacturers syndicate, have
fallen considerably in the London market.
Sugar, also, is slightly lower than it was
six months ago. and so is petroleum,
while tallow, after experiencing a de.
cline, stands exactly where it did on
January l.
OF course no great hopes car be built
upon so slender a basis, but it is some
thing of a basis nevertheless. "If
prices should merely remain at their
present figures for six months longer"
says the New York Sun, sit would be
a great gain. If. in addition, there
should be a slight further rise it would
go far toward restoring confidence and
stimulating enterprise. 1t needs, in fact,
only to be established that no further
depression is probable for all classes of
manufacturers and traders to take heart,
aud at once begin to enlarge their opera
tions. None the less it will continue to
be true that the gold standard has been
the chief cause of the prevailing depres-
sion, and that any improvement we may
experience will be in spite of that stand.

A QUESTION or SEX.

A rather disturbing indication of the
inaccuracy which sometimes creeps into
newspaper statements concerning events
of public importance, occurs in connec-
ton with the arrival of an heir to the
Cameron wealth and political power.
The Washington Post points out the
error in the following startling arrange.
ment of rhymes:
Who announced q newborn son
To the clan of Cameron
Twas On error. They had ought ter
Have announced il was a daughter.
The journal furnishing this reversal of
the first report is opposed in politics to
the Cameron dynasty as it exists in Penn.
sylvania; and therefore its assertion may
be e~ngendered of political feeling. But
the Importance of the newborn Cam.
eron's sex is such that any doubt upon it
should be cleared up. If the Posts
statement is correct it may change the
course Of politics for the next generation.
The vital bearing Of this matter is ap.
parent on consideration. A daughter
can inherit the lands, railway stocks,
manufacturing establishments and bonds
of the Cameron estate; but she cannot,
at present at least, inherit the more i'm.
portant possessions in a public point OF
view-the conventions, caucuses, Legis-
latures aud United States Scholarships
which have been in times past trans
ferred from father to son. The appear
ance of a daughter, therefore, in this
world of tears and disappointments, in
dicates that the political estate Of the
Camerons must pass from the direct line,
unless new arrangements are made.
But the last thought points US to the
possibility that the triumph of female
suffrage would permit the infant Miss
Cameron-if it is Miss Cameron-to in
herit the political possessions as we'll as
the other real and chattel property of
her ancestors. May it not turn out that
the recently.born babe will prove the
leader Of her sex in gaining that suprem.
acy in politics which is now confined to
our households?

If Mr.. Gladstone is really defeated,

write, there will remain to him one last
resource. He might decide to propose

Lord Harrington and the Liberal dis

ais once more to vote with him and his
friends. Such a proposition on his part
would involve the abandonment of the
bill introduced by him in April, but not
of the endeavor to secure Home Rule.
1t would not be, therefore. a surrender,
but a change of front to secure his OBJ

In commenting on the Reno Gazet.e's
proposed plan for a State appropriation to
develop tho resources Of the country by a
system Of irrigatipg canals aud artificial
lakes, the Winnemucca Silver State says:
GAS the State at the present time owes
about $500, 000. while the cash in the
Treasury last week was less than $500, 900.
it cannot onter upon any extensive irriga-
ton scheme without borrowing money, and
IL Is not probable that the taxpayers would
consent to that. However. no harm can
result from a discussion OF the subject,
and the Gazetie should give the public
some practical idea of what should be done
by the State TO secure the water and dis
pose OF it ad vantageously."
