Candy Shops of other Lands.

In the matter of CONNECTIONS, by the
way, New York, speaking after the man.
ner of men beats the world. They hardly
know what candy is in London, where
still obtains the antique and exploded
superstition that it is sort of pap pecu-
liarly suited to and designed for infancy.
A country where ice cream is rare and
novel compound, sold at fabulous prices
and by the wine-glass full, presents to
the American Imagination difficulties in
the way of courtship and marriage which
might be expected to seriously check the
natural increase of the population; but
the untraveled Englishman has never yet
learned that sweets to the sweet is the
proper method of bombarding maiden
hearts, and he seems to get the necessary
preliminaries settled some way in a
goodly number of cases unassisted by any
softer gastronomic influences than are
shed by his own indigestible plum pud-
ding.
The candy shops there are small and
humble places where the proprietor
gladly exchanges portion of his simple
goods for penny, or even a fraction
thereof, instead of refusing, as do our
brilliant and lordly confectioners, to ne
gotiate for less than half a pound of COM
pounds ranging from 80 cents to 81 a
pound. The idea of such airs in such a
business would be laughed to scorn. In
Paris they are in these respects somewhat
more civilized, and indeed it was from
Paris that we learned our early lessons in
the worship of sugar, but We. have now
far outstripped our teachers both in the
number and splendor of the shops and in
the expensiveness and variety of our con-
fe ctions.-New York Graphic.

There isn't much show for our leather
or our manufactured shoes in Australia.
The people have good-sized, civilized feet.
and they produce more leather than they
want. They have reduced to a sci
ence the manufacture of leather
from skins Of the native ami
mails, and as long as the lat
ter hold out, Consul Griffin doesn't see
any market for us. The skin of the kan
CARGO is much used, but the Australians
do not discriminate much, and carve up
their native bears, or ruthlessly destroy
the bandicoot (the native Pig or the
dingo or native dog, so that all tastes
may be suited in leather. The fashion
able slippers are made from the skins of
the platypus, and are highly priced. The
people in New Zealand don't go much
upon style. Their feet are large and I'M
shapely, and pegged boots are considered
just the thing. In South New Zealand
brass rivets are used to fasten the soles to
the uppers.
The good people Of Japan do not show
any desire to cultivate American leather
or shoes. All the noble subjects of the
Mikado banker after European fashions,
and spend some of their incomes in wear
ing French shoes. The young women
in Japan are not much behind our own.
They catch on to all the new fashions in
European dress, ape the manners and
customs of Europeans, and take savage
delight is showing their pretty feet and
silk stockings. They don't want any
shoes of American manufacture, and the
bulk of the natives are satisfied to go
through life wearing sandal or a
wooden clog. Consul Patton does not
think there is any field for American
manufactures in the japanese empire

japanese Passion for Tattooing.

The Japanese have acquired such a
passion for being tattooed that law has
been passed forbidding the marking of
natives. The law does not apply to for
eigners. 1t is quite the thing now to be
tattooed, and elaborate designs are traced
on many travellers as an indelible rem
iniscence of their sojourn in the east.
The sons of the prince of Wales, when
here few years ago, were tattooed, and
several Russian dukes and sprigs of no.
bility have undergone the process. The
son of Longfellow recently submitted to
very elaborate tattoo decoration, and
for more than three months was in the
hands of the tattooer, who did an amount
of work ON him during this time that is
usually spread over period of three or
four years. This caused of course, a Sc

able to Withstand by the application of

Personal Liberty.

Personal liberty is not personal license.
Liberty and license are as unlike as
good and evil. Liberty is relative
term and must be interpreted by mems
social relations. While it claims for
every man all the rights with which ma
ture has endowed him, it, at the same
time, demands at his hands respect for
all the rights with which nature has
endowed his fellowman. He cannot
use bis natural rights to the injury of
his fellowman. He has the right to fire
his gun in the air, for air is free to all,
but he must take not to point it at his
fellowman. He has the light to use the
air for all legimate purposes, but he
has no right to poison it with foul
stenches, which the law calls nuisances,
nor with blasphemous curses which de-
grade the souls of those compelled to
listen. The law prohibits this. 1t is
recognized as a wrong and punished as
a crime. No member of society has
liberty to do aught that Injuries other
members of society.
Local optionists do not say that men
shall not drink, but they do say that
men shall not be licensed to sell whisky
in communities where the majority
ject to ITS sale. They say that grog-
shops and liquor saloons are a curse to
any community. Such places debauch
and impoverish the people. Any COM
munity that is persuaded that is the
case, should have the right to say that il
should not be subjected to this wrong.
II liquor selling is not sinful and Vi
cious, clergymen would have the moral
right TO engage in it, and sentiment
would sustain them. Butso strong is the
mate sense OF its viciousness that they
cannot engage in it without FORGETTING
the respect of the moral and immoral
persons in the community. fit is i'm
moral, moral men should not license
the sale. II it is sinful christians should
not vote to license it.

Lieut.. Greely's Tribute to Celia Thaxter.
Concerning Celia D.axter's poem, "A
Tryst," which Lieut.. Greedy says his men
were so fond of reading during their
Arctic exile, writer in The Philadelphia
Press relates that, in the summer of 1884,
Greedy, who was seeking rest and health
at Portsmouth, n. H., went over to the
Isles of Shoals one day to visit Mrs.
Thaxter. AS he reached the porch of
her house the poet came forward and ex'
tended her hand. Greedy took il,
dropped on one knee, and kissed it, Il
have come" he said in his husky, tremb-
ling voice, "on pilgrimage to thank the
poet for the lines that have ightened
many weary day and night for hand
full of men who never expected to see
their home and friends again" Here he
lad to pause, and, raised by the kind,
notherly woman, sank into an armchair.
Among those who witnessed the scene
there was not dry eye. After he had
rested little, and had told of the many
lines he had read aloud the poem Sin the,
1esolation of the NORTH" he asked her
how she could have written it and if size
had ever seen an iceberg. "No," she Ie-
piled, "but have ever lived by the SEA,
IN summer and winter, and l suppose
Imagination has done the rest" "Won-
lerful!" was all that the pilgrim could
reply.-Chicago Tribune.

Problem Of a Commercial Pole.

Chief Engineer Melville, in recent
.ecture described the Arctic outfits nee
essary for explorers and the mistakes
made in making them too heavy. He
laid: 81 have slept comfortably on top
Of sled in a sleeping bag with the Their
mometer 100 degrees below the freezing
point of water"
The Arctic sleeping bags, he explained,
were worn with the hair inside, thus re-
versing nature. 1t was the only fur
clothing worn that way. He thought
the very idea of unlimited appropriations
by congress caused an Arctic ex-
petition to be loaded down with
the worthless rubbage of every crank
in the land. His sleeping bag weighed
eleven pounds. The Greedy expedition
bags weighed twenty-five pounds-ele-
CANT things to sleep in, but death to those
who attempted to carry them" In con-
clusion the chief engineer said that with
his knowledge, born of experience, he
expected at some future day to conduct
a party il, safety to the Arctic regions,
and to find grand, public spirited man
Of vast means who would aid him in
solving the problem of commercial
pole. The road was one of trial and
tribulation, but the object was attainable
and the scientific world would not be
satisfied until it was reached. -Philadel-

In walking through the exhibition Of
musical instruments at South Kensing-
ton / was much struck with the contrast
which does not appear to have thus
forced itself upon general attention, If
may Judge by the critical notices that
have been published. I refer TO the
great and still continuing progress Of
improvement in the construction of the
pianoforte, as compared with the abso-
lutes absence of even the smallest step OF
improvement of the violin, violo, violon-
cello, or violone. The clavichords, harp
sichords, clavicymballms, spinets, grav-
cembali col piano forte, were all mere
tom-toms compared with the modern
piano, while the fiddles, big and little, of
the same date are the models which our
manufacturers can only endeavor to ap-
proximately initiate.
Innumerable attempts have been made
TO improve upon the model of StradiVa-
RUS, but all have pitifully failed. Every

Scarcity of Wood in Italy.

Wood is so scarce in sunny Italy"
that it is actually sold by the pound; and
yet it is almost the only fuel used by the
common people. In Venice we saw
steaming-hot boiled potatoes and other
cooked food for sale in the groceries.
Every device is resorted to to save fuel.
American tree-murderers ought, by all
means, to see Italy as warning of what
a country stripped of wood may become.
The climate of southern and middle
Italy in summer appears to us tourists
very like that of America. There is the
same brilliant sunlight and fierce heat.
The dust is binding. Mountain and val
ley are as parched and brown as the
Ohio river clay hillside in August. We
have now journeyed over half of Italy in
one direction and another and have yet
to see the first good-sized tree They are

How the Brides Veil Came To Be.

1t was once the custom for the bride at
her wedding to wear her hair unbraided
and hanging over her shoulders. At the
celebration of her marriage with the
Palatine, Elizabeth Stuart wore cher
hair disheveled and hanging down her
shoulders" 1t has been suggested that
the brides veil, which of late years has
become one of the most conspicuous
features of her costume, may be nothing
more than miuiner's substitute, which,
in old times, concealed not few of the
brides personal attractions, and covered
her face when she knelt at the ALTAR
Boston Budget.

will give the sunday school scholars On
opportunity e attend and will cause .

school, and the organisation cannot fail
Of doing good. The lessons taught are
sensible ones and quite pertinent. Last
Monday evening the lesson vas Natural
Food, and the golden text: We do not
live to eat, but cat to live. The lesson
teaches that wheat grain contains all
the elements Of food in Q condensed
form. Alcohol has no nitrogen which
is necessary to make all the Aeshy parts
Of the body. Alcohol does not give
warmth, does not give strength. It is
the duty Of temperance people hero to
not use it Is medicine, and to be care.
ful to employ Temperance physicians.
Alcohol hsrdens the brain and stupefies
the mind. It is neither . natural food
or drink. These examples show the
character Of the lessons.
