IA ~ u Ahthas
The young married Englishwoman of
rank is perhaps the best example of her
class. Her position is assured; she is
neither uncertain nor anxious nor eager
now but entirely at her ease; and if her
elevation by marriage has not beer too
great or too recent, there is a dignifed
grace that is very captivating. She has
acquired knowledge of the world, has
mixed much with cultivated and i'm
portant men, becomes herself sometimes
a taller or a politician; and the choice
specimens are very choice indeed. AS n
class, the English matrons are certainly
not 80 brilliant as Ameri IAN or French
women of the world; they have less tact
and suavity, but the rare examples are
equal to those of any race or cline. The
older women sometimes become softer
as they advance in years, and gain a
fascination of manner that 'compensates
for waning beauty.
The physical charms of the English
women, however, do not speedily fade.
The first enchanting grace of girlhood,
of course, is early lost; but the rich
beauty of maturity is more sumptuous,
and lasts much longer than with Ameri-
can or Latin women. There is a far
greater number of pretty g,rls in Amer
lea, with a finer delicacy of complexion.
a more exquisite symmetry of figure in
the early outlines; but when you find
the full blaze of English beauty it sur
passes the most perfect of the American
type. There are no such ravishing,
sumptuous queens in America as every
now and then you see in England.-Adam
Badeau's Letter.

Buffalo is to have the largest clock in
the world. The dial will be twenty-five
feet in diameter and the enter of the
dial will be 361 feet above the street.
The dial will be Illuminated by cleo
tricity, and it is calulated that the time
can be seen at night from any point in
the city, and with a field glass the posi-
ton of the hands can be distinguished at
"A distance of fifteen miles. The minute
hand Of the clock will be twelve feet
long and the hour hand will measure
nine feet in lenght. The Roman figures
on the dial will be two feet eight inches
in length. A steam engine, will be placed
in the tower to wind the clock up every
day. The clockmakers who have peer
invited to give their views concerning
the building of the clock all say hat no
body in this country is able to build
such an enormous timepiece. 1t will take
n whole year to place the clock machin-
cry in the tower after the structure is
completed. The bell for the clock is to
weigh between 90. 900 and 90, 900 pounds,
and it is calculated to peal so loud that
it can be heard in a distant part of the
city,-Chicago Times.

The evidences OF decrease in wealth
and population that one meets with in
the mountains are striking. In every
direction the eye rests upon abandoned
ranches and deserted towns. The towns
have Jared worse than the country from
that hegira which followed the collapse
of the mining "boom" of five or six
years ago. Gunnison was then a pros
porous mining camp, full of men and
money, when even ordinary laborers
received 81 and So for a days work.
Now it would serve as a monument to
desertion and decay. This will be a
good town yet, mark that; there is plenty
of mineral in these hill, and somebody
will strike it after a while" said q shop
keeper to me. 1t was the old story of
hope struggling against despair which is
30 characteristic of this mining country.
l thought the dairyman / met gave a
more truthful picture Of its future when
he said; do you see those fellows going
down to the river1 Well, they support
their families by fishing. That's about
all there is to do around Gunnison now,
and when that source of supply becomes
exhausted, as it rapidly is, there won't
be much left" Up near Crested Butte,
where they mine the coal that is most
like the Pennsylvania anthracite, an old
woodchopper said 100 teams Used to pass
along the road daily. We camped near
his cabin one day, and counted three
teams passing by.-Cor. New York

Darkness, damp, and dust are potent
agencies of disease. Everybody recog-
nizes this; but how many FAN 70 ADOPT
its precepts, If there be sermons IN
stones, surely the summer dust and Its
dangers would prove a fruitful subject
for medical discourse. There IS as great
a difference between London and coun-
try dust as there is between the cores
ponding muds. Pulverized matter
would be harmless enough If it were de-
prived of its physical property of ready
diffusion. The atmosphere is laden and
swarms with participate matter of
highly complex nature. Its chief peril
to living beings resides in the organic
constituents; largely this organic ma
terial consists of minute forms OF life in
a state of latency, only waiting for a
spell of heat and moisture and a favora-
bic amount of light, or it may be dark
ness, to awaken it into activity. The
habits of individuals inoevery class of
society. including the masses" are not
calculated to diminish, but rather to
augment, the amount Of organic matter
in atmosphere. Mucous. saliva, and
humor, popularity known as matter
must be discharged from the mouth and
nostrils to the extent of many gallons
daily, and not a little Of this comes from
infective sources; while we venture to
think that the bulk of it mingles with
the dust of our streets and courts.
If, as seems not unlikely, consump
ton is largely caused by germs" then
a very ready theory may be advocated
concerning the mode in which contagium
is caught. Who can estimate the mount
of mischief that the shaking of mats
may have caused? How many young
girls early in the morning on their way
to business have, SO to speak, received
their death blow while inspiring, all UNI
conscious of harm, some of the clouds
of dust that always greet them? Who
can tell? The abatement of this danger
and nuisance is n difficulty that almost
seems insurmountable. Much may be
done by personal habits of prevention

The health giving properties of rain
are not appreciated by the general
public. Rain is an essential to physical
vigor in localities that have any ex-
tensive population. Man and his occu-
pations lade the air with countless and
unclassified impurities. The generous,
kindly rain absorbs them, even as
n washwoman extracts the dirt from
soiled clothes. The ammoniacal ex-
halations, the gases resultant from
combustion and decay, are all quietly
absorbed by a brisk shower. People
talk about a dry climate" but it is a
mare and a delusion. There is nothing
in it. A very dry climate will never
support ii large population, for it would
soon become so poisoned that it would
be fatal to the human race. A scatter
ing few might inhabit it, but not the
multitude. -Colliery Guardian.
