Horatlo seymour and sIr. Delavan,

During my first administration, said the
late Horatio Seymour, Mr.. Deavan who
built the Delayan houSc in Albany, the great
apostle of Temperance in his day, came to
me to express his dissatisfaction with the eS-
isting statutes which punished men for selling
llgaor under certain circumstances, making
them amenable, AMI to urge more posi-
tive legislation. l said to him. Nov,
suppose you could get u perfectly effective
temperance law that could be executed, and
that by way of suppcmcntiug or adding to
its efficiency you could put the man who
had been intemperate under circumstances
where he would labor industliollSly
and regularly, engage in no evil con-
versation, go to church twice on
Sunday, and, indeed, be withdrawn from
other temptations Would you like such an
arrangement" YES said he, THAT is
more perfect system of law than | supposed
could he made.n l then replied: ~ will
show you just such a system in operation. II
YOU will go down to Sing Sing prison, will
show you hundreds of men living under that
exact system, They cannot drink, cannot in
dulge in other vices, in evil conversation or
communication, are delighted to have the
chaplain talk with them, regular in habits,
20 to church twice on Sunday: but the whole
system is one of coercion. Now, if your
house was robbed, and yuu knew that a man
was in the neighborhOod who had been living
under your ideal system, he would be the first
man whom YOU would arrest,

As IL map shows, the mackerel is the most
common fish, and for that reason the least
profitable The season for maekerel begins
in March and ends in November, and what
becomes of these fish in the meantime "the
Lord only knows" so an old skipper said
Mackerel are caught in schools with inn
mense seines Of about 900 feet in length.
This seine is dropped slowly out of large
row boat in such a manner as to describe
great circle, and thus inclose a great portion
of the school Of fish. Along the lower edge
Of the seine, which hangs 100 feet below the
surface, are rings through which a rope runs
like a running string. This is drawn taut
when the circle is completed, thus closing the
bottom and making an immense purse of the
net. 1t frequently happens, though, that be-
fore the bottom of the net is closed
it is found that ''school is out,n
which means that the macIerel have detected
the fishermen's little game and escaped by
diving To keep the mackerel school in,
while the net is being dropped, basrels of
chopped up porgies and clans are thrown
into the water. One successful haul will yield
100 TO 200 barrels of fish. When loaded on
deck these fish are split open, cleaned and
packed on ice or in salt, according as it is in.

combinations III Materials loi DIcsoSS'
Wrappers, Jackets and Gowns.
Faille franchise and other soft reppe9
silk such as Bengalines and Victoria
silks, are much used for dresses, in
combination with plush and velvet.
Veloutine is the name bestowed upon
one of the softest of these new repped
silks, the fabric having a rich dull sheen
like that upon velvet. Both plain
striped and figured velvets are shown
for combining with these silks, while
large frise designs are seen on cloaking
velvets. Black and seal and golden
brown are the favorite cOlOrs for plush
and velvet coats and French pelisses.
In fabrics of fraille franchise brocadeG
with velvet figures are contrasts of color
such as Neapolitan red on moss green,
blue with Havana brown, cardinal with
beige, dove color with ruby and black
with poppy red.
Very young ladies who adopt unique
styles in dress are now wearing Russian
Jackets of red stockinette, over killed
skirts, and tunics of fancy cheviot in
basket patterns which show fine in
terminglng of brilliant colors, none Of
which are prominent. These coats are
trimmed with appliques in fiat silk cord,
or with bands of Persian lamb skin.
En- suite are Henry III. caps, otherwise
known as the Rob Roy, worn last win
ter. The new models, however, are
smaller, more graceful and show less of
the varied garnitures than formerly
weight ed them. A narrow strip of vel
vet or Persian lamb ikin is now the
only bit of ornamentation seen upon
them.
Eider-down flannel wrappers, either
plain, colored or striped, are made up in
the simplest manner in close redingote
shape, with velvet collar and cuffs and
ribbon bows or military frogs across the
front for fastenings. The plain pink,
blue or ruby eider-down wrappers have
dark red velvet accessories, which make
them becoming to either bond or bru-
nette. The striped llannels are used for
comfort rather than beauty, and velvet
trimmings are then out of place upon
them. A princesse shape is often chosen
for the front, and a wide Vatican pai
is added where this style of wrapper /;
found becoming. Hoods are added tC
the handsome matinees and tea gown;
sent over from Paris.
Some of the new French gowns
made with an eye to artistic effect, and
designed for five O'Clock teas, have {
puff around the arm-size. In some
cases the puff is full and very short, anC
AGAIN in others it is less full, hut very
much longer, sometimes reaching tC

long reign, and it is probable that they
will now abdicate in favor of more

Preservation Of Bodies.


An account is given Of an Italian
method of preserving bodies in soft
and flexible state for several months,
and by this means enabling them to be
dissected without any danger to the
preparation or the anatom!st. To this enc
they are placed in some sort of a recep-
tacle or other, and covered with layer
of the thickest and pureSt honey that
can be obtained. Ii it be dcS red to pre-
serve an entire cadaver by this simple
and inexpensive process, the plan per.
sued is to begin by carefully filling the
encephalc, tloracic, and abdominal
cavities with sufficient quantity of
tannin. This process, when conducted
with care, is stated to give remarkable
results, a corpse thus prepared appear
ing for several months to be asleep. In
a sense the alcoholic fermentation that
occurs under these circumstances serves
it as food while preserving its sottness
and fiexibility to degree strongly re-
sembling that of real life. When the
fermentation ceases, a hardening of the
rarts occurs, and renders the artistic
forms of the body still more marked

stager and the Operator.


The old telegrapher was talking as
volubly as ever. and he told this story
about the late Gen. Anson Stager, which
was new to me: Away back In tho
early davs. he said, "when the print
ing machines were gradually going out,
as operators gradually learned TO read
by sound, Gen. Stager, not then a gen.
eral, was division superintendent on
western telegraph line, with headqual-
tiers at Cleveland. At IN Office farther
west, say indianapolis, was an unusual
bright and expert operator. who had
just one fault, t,-he would get drunk. He
was a very rapid sender for those days
and an extremely good receiver by
sound, even for these DAYS. But, as
say, he would get drunk. and onco
drunk he was useless for days. The
chief operator at indianapolis had conn.,
planned of him to Stager, who had
threatened him with dismissal If he GOT
drunk again, and yet he was drunk
again. The chief operator telegraphed
the sad fact to Stager and Stager re-
piled: Call me up when Jones comes
in; want TO talk to him. So when
Jones got sober and came into the In
dianapolis Office the chief operator told
him to call up Stager at Cleveland. who
wanted to speak to him. So Jones
called up the Cleveland telegraph
Office and asked the operator to tell
Stager that lie was awaiting what he
had to say at the indianapolis end of
the line. In few minutes Staoer took
the Cleveland key and clicked over the
wire to Jones: i told you If You got
drunk again / would discharge you.
You have been drunk for three days.
What have you TO say for yourselfP'
Now Jones knew that he had Just one
chance. Stagcr was learning to receive
by sound, and he wanted it Thought that
he had learned. But Jones happened
to know that Stager could only read by
sound messages that were very slowly
sent. He knew that there were other
operators in the room with Stagcr at
Cleveland, and he calculated that Stager
would be equally unwilling either to ask
in their presence that a message that
he could not read be repeated or to ask
them to assist him to read it. So Jones
pounded away at his key as rapidly as
he could for three minutes, sending off
of course, an absurd cock-and-bull
story, not one word of which did Stager
catch until Jones slowed down and
wound up with; And that's the way it
all happened. Instantly Stager re-
sponded: Very well. You may stay,
but don't do it again. ~ PItilatlefp fpIsi0
