Frenchmen in Hot weather.

their hats in their hands This suppose comes
of their belonging to hot-headed people.
have also observed that they are better able to
bear cold and sudden changes Of temperature
than the English. They will sit outside Of cafes
by the hour togetherin midwinter, although
they make a dreadful fuss about the slightest
draught, and would rather be sutfocated by
foul air in a railway carriage than to allow q
window TO be open even an inch.
The idea of draught conjures up in the
French mind the specters of bronchitis and

Crn0ked Work in Indiana.

The fact that the Republicans secured
majority of the Indiana Legislature
on joint ballot has stimulated the Bour>
bons of that state to adopt the tactics of
the Ohio boodelers-to attempt to secure
by fraud what they failed to obtain
through honest suffrages. The senate
remains Democratic, owing to the num-
ber holding over: but in the house the
Republicans have elected more than
enough members to overcome the adj
verse majority in the senate, and secure
the return to the United States senate of
Mr.. Hamilton.
The close vote in the senate at WASN'T
ington, as well as the prospect of gain,
ing something in the way of party
ascendency in the state, has moved the
Democratic leaders to institute an un-
usual number of contests for seats in
the senate, hoping to give the majority
of that body chance to unseat enough
Republicans to overcome the majority
which they have in the house. This
would be fit ending to disgraceful
gerrymander of the legislative districts
"a gerrymander which the people have
rebuked on the first opportunity.
No less than ten contests have been
instituted, six of which are in the senate.
They we're kept back until the eleventh b
hour, so as TO keep the Republicans in
the dark as to the purpose of the con-
spirators. The Republicans have att
tackled the seats of three Democratic
Representatives, but by unseating six
senators against these three Represent
stives the Democrats would have a MAJ
jority and thus secure United States
senator by fraud. In at least one case
the ground of contest was so palpably
fraudulent that the contestant was
forced to withdraw, being unable to
stand the popular indignation. The Re-
publicans are wideawake and the coun-
try may expect to hear Of some of these
crooked workers being brought up in
prison.

Politeness is debt due to ourselves.

A man to be happy must bs friends tc

The truth at all times is the keystone

Nothing will make US so charitable

Words are spiritual forces, angels of
blessing or of cursing. Unuttered, We
control them; uttered, they control US.
AS fate is iDexorable and not to be
moved with tears or reproaches, an ex-
cess of sorrow is as foolish as prOfuse
laughter.
To reprove small faults with undue
vehemence is as absurd as If man

intelligence must control and direct
sacrifice if it is to be really valuable. 1t
must ever be made means to something
high, noble and good-a step by which
we may reach something worthy of
grasping.
There is one way of attaining what we
may term, if not utter. at least mortal
happiness; it is this-a sincere and un-
relaxing activity for the happiness of
others. In that one maxim is concen
trated whatever is noble in morality,
snblime in religion, or unanswerable in
truth.

Individuality of Dress in Scotland.

There is more individuality of dress in Eng
land and Scotland than in America Every
man has his suit cut to please himself, and a
favorite costume is short sack coat, panta
looms rather full above the knee and fastened
tight around the leg just above the calf. Then
pair of long thick woolen stockings come up
to where the knee breeches end, and the feet
are clad in strong Shoes This makes very
stylish costume, if the wearer is tall and has
good legs. 1t is worn everywhere, and even
gentlemen going about with ladies on the
street are so clad. Add to this a helmet cap
or Derby, and you have pretty fair idea
of one class of Scotch or English dress. Many
of the swells about the watering places wear
clothes of colors as bright as those Of Dolly
Varden's, and have seen some young men
clad in wide red and blue stripes Of soft fan
mel, others in suits as white as snow, and
others in jackets of plush and velvet There
seems to be a much larger gentlemen of
leisure class here than with US, and in the
Trossachs and about Loeb LOmond, where I
went to sail through the region made famous
by Sir Walter Scott, rode for miles and
miles without hearing the word business once.

Henry Georges Literary Work.

Henry George, unlike Mr.. Howells, is not
methodical worker. Il write when the mood
seizes me" he said, sometimes getting off a
mass of copy but often vey little. Ny works,
particularly Progress and Poverty were
the hardest labors ever performed. Many
a time I've sat down with a whole chapter
mapped out in my mind and been unable to
get beyond the first sentence in expression.
Yet when l was newspaper man 1 could
reel off takes as fast as any of them. But
it is one thing to write for the hour and
another for the years, so to speak. l regard
journalistic work as the most valuable train
ing literary man can possibly have. 1t is,
think, more important than college career,

Close ReuIts i'm New Jersey

The fight over the possession of the
New Jeasey legislature, with the conse
quent election of United States sena.
tor, is remarkable for its closeness. A
recount in one of the passaic legislative
districts, which was demanded by the
Republicans, gave the election to the
Democrats by one vote; but another re-
count in Mercer county seems to be de-
cided In favor of the Republican candi
date py five votes. This leaves the ball
ance of power for the election of sena-
tor in the hands of two labor Legislators;
and the result will furnish severe Test
whether the politician champions of the
wOrkingman. who are elected as such,
can be relied upon for independence aud
uprightness. The report that one OF
these labor representatives prefers Wm.
Walter Phelps to Sewell, indicates that
he wishes to vote for man of ability in
preferance to cipher; but as both sena-
torial candidates are avowed corpora
tion representatives, it also seems to in
dictate that the labor legislator is labor
champion for revenue only.

The BrachionigraDh.

A patented invention, called the brachioni-
graph, is claimed to render the art of writing
possible in the absence or uselessness of the
hand. 1t is therefore serviceable in cases of
writer's cramp and of paralysis of the fingers.
The instrument is of simple construction, and
consists of long, light strip of iron, curved
so as to be easily adapted to the ulnar border
of the forearm. This splint is sewn into a
casing of supple leather material, shaped so
as to form kind of gauntlet or sleeve for
the forearm. The gauntlet Is fastened to the
forearm by an ingenious arrangement of
screw hooks and studs, allowing of an ad-
Unstable degree of pressure. The bar or
splint carries at its lower end mechanism
with universal joint by means of which
pen may be held in any desired position.
With this instrument the act Of writing is
performed by the muscles of the arm and
shoulder, while those of the digits and thumb
are thrown completely out of use. 1t is easy
to acquire the necessary dexterity in the use
of the invention for legible Handwriting. -

Early ThanksgiVings.

Perhaps of the thousands who duly
observe the day, there are many who do
not stop to think of the antiquity of
Thanksgiving, or of the manner IN
which it was observed in the old Colo
NAL days. Writing on this subject,
Harriet Beecher Stowe says:
"Our good Puritan fathers intended to
form state of society of such equality
of conditions, and to make the means
of securing the goods of life free to all,
that every body should find employment
for his faculties in prosperous seeking
of his fortunes. Hence, while they for
bade theaters, operas and dances, they
made state of unparalleled peace and
prosperity, where one could go to sleep
at all hours of the day or night with the
house-door wide open, without holt or
bar, yet without apprehension of any to
modest or make afraid.
"The Fourth of July took high rank
after the Declaration of Independence,
but the king and high priest of all festi-
walls was the autumn Thanksgiving.
when the apples were all gathered
and the cider was all made and the yell
low pumpkins we're rolled in from many
a hill in billows of gold, and the corn
was husked. and the labors of the sea-
son were done, and the warm, late days
of Indian summer came in dreary and
calm and still, there came over the
community sort of genial repose of
spirit, a sense of something accomplish
ed and of new golden mask made in
advance on the calender of life.
"In those days there we're none of the
thousand ameliorations of the labors of
housekeeping which have since arisen,
no groand and preparing spices and
sweet herbs; every thing came into our
hands in the rough and in bulk, and the
reducing of it into state for use was
deemed one of the appropriate labors of
childhood. Even the salt we used in
cooking was rock-salt. which we were
required to wash and dry and pound
and sift before it became fit for use.
"Great as was the preparations for
dinner, everything was so contrived that
not soul in the house should be kept
from the morning service of Thanksgiv>
ing in the church, and from listening to
the Thanksgiving sermon, in which the
minister was expected to express his
views freely concerning the politics of
the country and the state of things in
society In general"
