In almost all of Mr.. Cleveland's public docu-
ments there is some expression that specially
attracts public attention, and his last mes
sage is not an exception. The President
dropped into ALTERATION when he referred
to trusts as the Communism of combined
capital" A point about the expressions
coined by Mr.. Cleveland is that they always
convey his idea in a very forcihle way.

Cultivate a Cheerful Spirit.

1t is always in order, says an eX-
change, to put in plea for cheerful
ness. Your Mark Tapley, bound to be
Jolly under all circumstances, may have
his season of ill-timed mirth, but he is
far more desirable companion and a
much better citizen than his opposite,
who is bound to be morose under all
circumstances. The majority of the
worry in this world, and possibly in the
next, is about things that never com e
to pass, but it is not the worry that pre-
vents their happening, and man need
not be rich to be good-natured. In fact,
some of the most disagreeable and sour
people one meets are those who are
most richly endowed with this worlds
goods. Neither does af1liction warrant
i'll nature. There probably was never
more sunny nature than that possessed
by William II. Prescott, who was blind.
Good nature and i'll nature are habits
of the mind-the one to be cultivated,
the other to be discouraged. But the
Encouragement of the one and the cul-
tivation of the other must come from
within, not from without. Don't 90
stubbing against all the stones you find
in your path; steer clear of them. And
remember that smile is deal better
betterfor you as well as for others-than
frown, and that pleasant word leaves
far better impression than an I'M
pleasant one. Make the best, not the
worst, of things. 1t will go a long
way toward making them actually bet
ter. Remember all the good things you
know about people and tell them. That
sort of gossip will do no harm. Don't
let people tell you bad things about
others, or, if they insist, forget them.
And as life is but journey, and
short one, bear in mind the old song:
jog on, jog on the foot path way
And merrily hent the silica;
merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in Mile-a

A Remarkable Railway Ride.

All foreigners who visit Vienna
should, if possible, combine with it
visit to the Lounnering railroad. This
is most wonderful feat of engineering,
the grandest of its kind in Europe. 1t
is on the way to Trieste, and the excur-
sion there and back may be made in
day. 1t begins at the little station of
GloggintZ, at an elevation of 400 feet,
and from there the train, hauled by two
powerful locomotives, winds round and
round over some fifteen double viaducts
and through as many tunnels. 1t creeps
along precipices, and as you slowly go
forward you are where you were before.
1t affords some views of as wild scenery
as one can find in Europe, save, per-
haps, in Switzerland. Far below you
are little hamlets, now half covered
with snow; the ruins of robbers
castle soon fade away and give place to
view resembling much that of the
Barter" in Savoy. One could get out,
pick flowers (werc it summary and still
not miss the train, for it fairly crawls
along on its upward journey. 1t was the
writer's fortune to see all this in mantle
of snow, whereas it is generally visited
when clothed in green; still he thinks
the effect is grander in winter than it
could possibly be in other seasons of the
year. The road in this part is twenty
five miles in length and cost over
81 100000. Finally the train, with a
final pant, stops at the top at station
Lounnering, at an elevation of $500
feet. Below in the valley and at
Vienna there was no snow and the
weather was mild, but here everything
is clothed in white to the depth of sew
eral inches. Getting under some buff
falo hides, the first sleigh-ride of the
season is INDUCED in, and fifteen min
utes sutiices to take one to the hotel.
This is generally full in summer and ac-
commodities some 500 guests, but on
this occasion the writer was the sole
occupant save the servants. After
dining upon reindeer and taking look
at the surroundings, sweet sleep held
her peaceful sway until an early hour
in the morning. Then such glorious
panorama as was seen--ridge upon
ridge of mountains, covered with snow
and beyond them came the sun peeping
up from behind his cover.-EGchdnge

Social Facts.

Mrs. Hicks Lords grand reception had
no equal in point of numbers and gen.
eral display. The Hungarian band was
in service, and the hostess was assisted
by retinue of thirty-six ladies', whose
aid in the labor of receiving the guests
was highly valuable. Notwithstanding
all their support, however, the burden
of such duty is one of very oppressive
character Think of woman standing
two hours to receive her guests, and
almost the same time to dismiss them
Why, it is really greater labor than
fortnights wash in an ordinary family
Oh fashion, what follies are committed
in thy namel Mrs. Lord is determined
to retain that social distinction in which
she has of late had so many rivals, and
in order to do this an unusual display
had to be given and its penalty endured.
She will continue to maintain this
struggle for supremacy so long as it is
possible, for when an empress of fashion
abdicates the throne it is, as with
Napoleon, the first step to Punishment.
One might, indeed, as well be out of the
world as out of the fashion. The Brad
ley Martins also gave an entertainment,
intended as farewell to the creme de
Ia creme, in which distinguishing fea-
ture was two tables in different rooms,
one intended for the married and the
other for the unmarried guests. The
Martins are going abroad, expecting to
be absent year at least, but want to
retain their hold in New York society,
and yet before the lapse of even so
brief an interval what changes must
naturally occurl New York society is
so volatile and transitory that even
one season is enough to illustrate its
ephemeral nature. A new idea in So
cial entertainments is the introduction
of electricity, in which Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt took precedence, having
battery brought to the house for the
occasion. Her example was followed
by Mrs. Rhinelander, who, among other
fine effects, had large azalea in the CEN
ter of table, and amid its foliage sud-
denly appeared number of tiny lights,
presenting a beautiful and fascinating
spectacle. Now that the feature is
introduced it will no doubt be con-
tinued as often as practicable, but it re-
quires an operator, and the fitting up
of the machinery is sometimes very
cult.-Ne,C York Letter.

GladiOlus.

| would like to say few words to
my flower-loving friends concerning
gladiolus. Those who have grown only
the common scarlet kind can have no
idea what lovely flowers some of them
are. l think them equal to lilies in
beauty and much more reliable. have
before me a special low-price catalogue
of bulbs and plants which offers five
named gladiolus for twenty-five cents
five first-class varieties, representing
the five leading colors: Golden Sceptre,
yellow; Brenchleyensis, brightest scar
let; Madame Mmonneret, fine pink;
John Bull, white, and Eugene Scribe, a
beautiful variegated. | think Eugene
Scribe the loveiest gladiolus have ever
seen. l took pains to save seed from
it one year and have raised bulbs that /
think will blossom next summer. L
have all the above-named varieties ex-
cept Golden Sceptre. They were OBJ
tanned from the same firm and have
proved very satisfactory. If any one
would like to know where they can get
them they can send me a self-addressed
postal card, or one-cent stamp, and
will gladly give them the information.

A SPRINGFIELD man who owns a
block of buildings in a central location
and carries on large and profitable
business said, recently, that when he
was married, at the age of twenty, he
was obliged to borrow three dollars to
pay the minister, and that his wife and
he had between them only two knives,
two forks and one spoon. That was
twenty-five years ago, and now he is
worth somewhere between $4,000 and
100000. 1t would seem from this
that very few are ever too poor to
marry" MOral.-Don't wait till you

A Vegetable MOnstrOsity.

The latest botanical curiosity is thus
described in the New York Independent.
" 1t is not so very long ago since thou

Many greater vegetable marvel has
appeared since then. Now it is giant
aroid, which those interested in these
vegetable curios are waiting and watch
ing for in the royal Kew collection. 1t

common Indian turnip, and when its
flowers expand, as hoped for this year,
the odor of the skunk cabbage is ex-
pected to be increased hundredfold.
While our arum, or Indian turnip,
has a tuber of about six inches
in circumference, this will reach
five feet. The leaf-stalk of ours
is from twelve to eighteen inches;
this is about ten feet, and the stalk it.
self is three feet round, as against three
inches in ours. The circumference of
the leaf-blade is forty-fve feet. Only
think of leaf-blade to plant that dies
to the ground every year extending
fifteen feet across The Victoria lily
leaf, six or eight feet across, was deemed
something prodigious. The flower will
be somewhat like our well-known Gala,
but with long and curiously twisted
spadix, from whence it receives its ge-
neric name. 1t is called Amorphophallus

To Owners of Ambitious Hens.

At this time in the year, when mer-
curry goes below zero day after day, if
the hens are so ambitious as to lay any
eggs it may happen they freeze so as
to crack open. Pour over such eggs
enough boiling water to cover them
well. Let them stand until thawed and
the yolk will be soft and as good for
cooking purposes as if not frozen.

Earth's Last Kiss.

Earth's last kiss to the dying day
over the surf and the tawny sands
Lips parted and far away
A light goes down in the faint cloudands
Earth's last kiss the autumn star
Shines like jewel in Nights dark crown,
And dusty blossoms from yon blue bar
Sparkle and fling their radiance down.
Earths last kiss ere the sea-birds scream
Summers farewell from the wild flowers height,
And winds steal forth from the cliffs dark seam,
Moaning their musical last Goodnight"
Earth's last kiss and the eyes are strained
And arms outstretchcd for the gloom draws nj gh
But lips have met and love is drained
Earths last kiss, dearest love, goodbye.
