which may have irritatcd him little, his

torted with cool keenness, "that You
have not found it."
When the Hon. P. T. Barnum was
Younger than now, he was infected with
political aspirations and secured seat in
the Legislature of Connecticut. His
efforts as an orator were less successful
than his es ays in the show business had
been, and the Legislature could not be
made to yield him hearing: "What

"Oh, nothing is simpler" was the ready
response, "they were afraid he would

THE home RULE DEFEAT,
Tories and UniOnists Combine
Against Gladstone.
The Parnellites Determined to Con-
tinue the Fight.

A London dispatch of the 18th gives the
following particulars of the English election
struggles
An agreement has been arrived at by
which Lord Salisbury, the Tory leader, ac-
cepts Lord Hartington's Home kule policy,
which involves the maintenance Of the full
powers of the Imperial Parliament. BY 1t
the powers conferred on local councils
in Ireland are delegated, not surrendred,
by Parliament which body reserves the
right to control and revise the action of the
councils The appointment of judges and
the legal administration are centred In the
Imperial Parliament Lord Harrington,
the Unionist leader, is still reluctant to
join a Conservative Ministry, although
he has pledged himself t. support coercive
measures and the general polly OF the Con-
servatives. In Gadstonian circles confidence
is expressed that the Premier will resign.
The Parnellites say they will never accept
Lord Harting gtou' scheme, and will fight and
wait until they have secured the passage OF
the full G'a1Stonian measure.
The totals of members elected at midnight
are: Conservatives and Unionists, 365; Glad
stonians, 24l
Mr.. Parnell has written a letter in which
hesays: "The statements of Lord Harting-
ton that the Irish party aud National League
are in union with Anle"it an FenianS are un-
true. know nothing whatever of any Fe-
nian organization iu Ireland or America,
beyond what I have learned from the
newspapers. have never had any
communication with the leaders of such or
CARNATIONS or accepted any alliance with
them. do not even know who the leaders
ara No union of the National League and
Fenians has ever been proposed. If such
proposal had ever been made should never
have consented. l have always success
fully endeavored to keep the National
League within the stri:teSt bounds of
legality. In spite of the unblushing false
hoods which have part;a ly and temporarily
frustrated the moderate aspirations of Ire
land, the Irish people will continue to main
tain q peaceable and legal aspect, declining
to afford any pretext to Lord Harrington or
his Tory allies to resort to the brutallties Of
coercion.n
At the regular fortnightly meeting Of the
Irish National League to-day the Treasurer
announced that the donations received from
the United States for the Parliamentary
fund within the past two weeks amounted to
$4,000. Mr.. T.. NJ. Healy in an address
said that although 1riShinen were disap-
pointed at the result of the elections,
they should not be Respondent. The defeat,
he sad, was only temporary. One million
electors had written "home rule on their
polling papers as against the unholy existing
triple alliance. A coalition Government,
Mr. Healy contended, could not exist three

NOT DISHEARTENED,
An Irish Home Rule Leader Upo
the English Elections.

An Irish Home Rule Leader Upon
the English Elections.
Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor, leading
says in an interview:
'We are not at all disheartenei, and can
afford to wait for what mast certainly come.
This is not defeat, but ouly q check, and
home rule will come SooEer than some pc Jple
expert.
The Tories are capable of anything while
in Office, but this time In IL pledges are too
recent and altogether too distinct to permit
their dabbling in home rule legislation. If
they did they would be unable to propose O
measure that would satisfy us, and We won't
accept anything less than Mr.. Gladstone
offered.
Another six months will complete the
WORK which needs to be done, and we shall
try again. The Lile;als are not yet suffi-
ciently educated, hence their fatal absten-
them. and then we will have home role.
The Irish c,e:torS in Great Britain have
voted Loyalty for the Liberal can
didates and the polling lists show that 81 per
cent of them exercised their right of Suf-
frage. Some of the succe ssful Liberals
would have been in pretty predicameat
had it not been for the Irish votes cast for
them.
1.-THE organization of the Conservatives is
superior to that of the Liberals, and their
discipline is excellent. Speaking of the Con-
servative organization, may tell you that
intend to introduce in the next House a
bill to suppress the Primrose League, which,
with all its patriotic pretentions, Is really a
league formed for purposes of the most dis
graceful intimidation Of electors. and whose
objects are faithfully carried out"

An Endless Snake.

One day last summer while the troops
were being brought into Fort Reno,
Idaho Territory, to be ready to suppress
an outbreak among the Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes, they found great many
snakes in the prairie grass. In one day
the soldiers killed thirteen large rattle
snakes. A young cavalry officer gave
his experience with un unusual specimen
of the snake family. After going into
camp about dusk he started for the
spring in title ravine near by. When
not far from the ravine he saw the OBJ
iect, which was a:out an inch in di-
ameter and of 81 my green color, drag
ging its length across his path with a
rapid movement. Quick as flash he
drew his sabre and slashed it in two.
This only had the effect of quickening
it in its mad race for the ravine. He
made another and another slash, cutting
off two or three feet number of times,
out still was not able to find its head or
check it's speed until he got to the eige
of the ravine, when he saw, just below
him, one of the company horses, whose
lariat he had been chopping.-Globe-

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS
A Chair Pillow.

A chair pillow is one of the most com
Portable as we'll az ornamental innovations
of the day. The pillow may be made OF
any material desired to match furniture
or drapery, but if this is not wished,
Turkish toweling will look well with
anything OF in any chair. Make the lin
ing for the pillow of stout cloth or drill,
twenty-four inches long and fifteen wide
fill with curled hair and fasten the ends
securely. Work two strips, four inches
wide and fifteen long, of cloth or felt in
any pretty design, and chain-stitch them
on the right side of the pillow. If en-
broidery is too tedious, cut cretonne
dowers and baste them on the strips, and
embroider over portion of them with
silk of the same color, button-holing the
flowers around the edge.-7He Home.

The Work Of Cameo Cutters.

When a cameo cutter is ready fol
work he draws on the white surface OF
the stone with lead pencil the design
which he intends to produce in the
cameo. He then follows the outlines with
diamond, and cuts away the white parts
outside.
If the stone is small he cements it on
the end of stick; if large he holds it in
his hand and proceeds to work upon it
with fine drills.
He sits at a table like sewing machine
table, and by treadle works a small
lathe situated at his right. At his left
is frame filled with drills made of steel
wire and of all varieties and shapes.
The ends of the drills are covered with
diamond dust ground in olive oil. The
dust is obtained by crushing uncut dia.
monds by blows of hammer in small
steel mortar.
The cutter has placed before him pic,
ture or a model of the beet to be
made. Everything then depends upon
the correctness of his eye and his artistic
instincts. The work is inexpressibly slow,
but when completed it is marvelloasly
perfect.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION.
Destruction of Life and Property in
New Zealand.

Destruction of Life and Property in
New Zealand.
The steamer Alameda, which has just ar
rived at San Francisco from Australia,
brings particulars of the fearful volcanic
eruptions in New Zealand last month, and
which are among the most destructive in the
worlds history. The first reports OF the vol
canic disturbances came from Tauragua, i'll
the Auckland lake district. The natives
of that village were sharply awak-
ened from sleep at 9 o'clock in
the morning by repeated vivid flashes of
lightning, which continued at rapid intervals
up to four O'clock when tremendous earth
quake occurred, followed quickly by others.
The shocks were so violent that the people
jumped from their beds, and, paralyzed with
terror, fled for their lives in their night
clothes, making no effort to save or take
with them anything 9 Except their children.
The earthquakes continued to follow one
another in quick succession up to z A. ~,
ing from the south. spreading out until 1t
covered the sky. When still moving it burst
with the sound of thunder, and shortly after
showers of fine dust began falling. Accounts
from other points state that Mount Tara
mera was the first volcano to break
FORTH and hardly were flames seen issuing
from its crater than the entire Paersa range
of mountains belched forth in sympathy,
hurting flames of burning lava and stones
over the surrounding country. For the first
time in tradition the extinct volcano OF
Ruapeha was awakened into activity. The
entire country over an extent of one
hundred and twenty miles long by twenty
in breadth was nothing but q mass of
flame and hot, crumhling soil. which
in places rose-to the height of four thousand
feet, capped at the highest point by the
Tekopha GeyserS, said to have been the
grandest in the world. During all this time
showers of dust continued to fall until it
became so dense as to make day dark as
night, and not until the second day did the
dust cease falling. 1t was noticed that the
dust emitted strong sulphurous smell
Numerous small native villages were totally
destroyed. Wairsa was covered to the depth
of ten feet with dust and ashes Rahtoma-
hama was completely engulfed, as were also
some other small VILLAGES. Twenty-one per-
sons are known to have lest their lives, among
whom were several English residents.
The loss of cattle starved to death from the
destruction of pasture by dust is very
great. and great distress exists throughout
all the Auckland Lake district One old
Maori chief at Ratarna was dug out alive
after having been buried in ashes 10l hours.
Every effort was made to save the lives of
others, but il most cases where bodies were
found they were dead.
At the date of the departure of the Ala
media from Auckland the volcanoes were
still very active and the temperature of the
hot lakes was increasing.

Two Blind Men.

There was once in Rome two blind
men, one of whom cried in the street Of
the city: "He is helped whom God
helps" The other on the contrary cried !:
''He is helped whom the King helps" I"
This they did every day, and the Emperor
heard it so often that he had loaf of
bread baked and filled with gold pieces.
This gold-flled loaf he sent to the
blind man who appealed to the Emperor's
help. When he felt the heavyweight OF
the bread he sold it to the other beggar
Us soon a. he met him. The blind man
who bought the bread carried it home.
When he had broken it and found the
gold he thanked God, and from that day
ceased to beg. But the other continuing
to beg through the city, the Emperor
summoned him to his presence and asked
him: 'sWhat hast thou done with the
loaf lately sent you!"
''I sold it to my friend because it was
hea, Y and did not seem we'll risen."
Then the Emperor said: "Truly he
whom God helps is helped indeed" and
turned the blind man from him.-Ffom

ENLARGED Hearts.

Why does the heart sometimes be,
come enlarged z
For the same reason that the muscles
of the blacksm;th's arm become nlarged
-unwonted work. that increases the
blood-supply and the power to assimilate
nourishment. In one case of the dis
ease, an enlarged heart weighed nearly
three pounds-the common weight being
rather less than three quarters of pound.
What is the cause of the hearts undue
action
Some obstacle to the circulation which
compels the heart to work h rider to pro-
pei the blood. A small increase in the
force of each heartbeat involves i'm
mense additional work.
What are the causes of the obstruc-
tion Z
The following are the most common :
(D Disease may have narrowed some
one or more of the heart-valves, so that
the heart has to force the blood through
a smaller opening-in extreme cases not
larger than the diameter of quill.
(2) A valve may have become so
affected that it leaks, and the contraction
forces the blood backward. as we'll as
forward, the backward flow thus dis
tending the rear cavity, which is mean
while filling from the valve in the other
end. The latter cavity must do extra
work to propel the sureriuous blood.
81 A certain condition of the lungs,
or of the arteries leading to item, may
constitute the obstruction.
az Distractions may be due to
tumors, or to aneurisms, pressing against
large artery.
(5) The obstruction may be due to a
roughening ef the internal surfaces Of. the
arteries--a condition not uncommon in
old age.
(6) Bright's dise,se is apt to be fol-
lowed by cardiac enlargement. How it
comes about is not certainly known.
60 Such enlargement may be due to
over-physical exertion. All long con-
timed muscular strain results in it, as
in case of soldiers from long-forced
marches. Boating and some other prize
contests are frequent source Of enlarge
mept.
Enlargement of the heart is not in
itself an immediate evil. It is that by
which nature overcomes a serious OBJ
stacle. But the enlargement tends to gc
on increasing, until it results in a dila
tion and thinning, at some weak point, OF
the walls of the heart, in which case some
slight extra exertion or excitement may
cause a fatal rupture. Youths Com

How to Get Rid of Dirt.

One of the easiest ways to get rid of
dirt is not to invite it to come In. Howf
By not having any woolen carpets, espe-
ciallv those that have q cotton or linen
back, like Brussels or tapestry carpets.
There being no way for the dust to silt
through on the paper or floor below, it is
constantly flying up when disturbed. A
three ply carpet is good thing to catch
the drift, as it gets into the middle ply,
and it is almost impossible to sweep or
beat it out. Two-ply are easier to keep
clean, but why have any2 What! would
you have the bare t1oors2 Not just that
II would compromise. Have less car
pets and more rugs, that can be taken up
weekly, put on the line out of doors and
beat,n. The 'art squares, as they are
called, furnish a carpet good enough for
most people. They come in good quality,
light or heavy, small or large sizes, so fit
ting different sized rooms: woven in quite
tasteful colors, with borders and fringes.
What can be prettier or easier kept clean! I!
In carpeting q floor the first thing
to be considered is the floor itself. II
your floor is slightly uneven anywhere,
if there is nothing to prevent, whatever
kind of carpet you have is sure to wear
through on the uneven places first. 1t IS
"penay wise and pound foolish" to put
hay or stray under carpet because it
cannot be put down evenly; unless it is
fresh it will make your room smell close
and stuffy. Leave the hay in the barn.
The wise woman begins at the founda-
ton by putting down the best carpet
paper she can buy; the frmer and thicker
the better. The best have found is a
plain, heavy paper that is made on pur-
bose. That with cotton stitched between
soon goes to pieces when cleaned, unless
very carefully handled: This paper is
carefully fitted around door and window
castings to keep out moths, also cold. 1t
covers all inequalities of the boards,
keeps out cold, and when cleaning day
comes and the carpet is taken up you will
find most of the dirt on the pager, which
can be rolled up and carried out of doors,
and your floor is left clean.-Good House.
