The Name of Gentleman.

Tennyson, in sweeping the whole range of tender praise for his dead friend Arthur Hal lam, says that he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman. "Without abuse"-that is the wise qualification. The name may be foully abused. read in the mornings paper, young gentlemen, pitiful story of a woman trying to throw herself from the bridge. You may recall one like it in Hoods Bridge of Sighs." The report was headed: ''To hide her shame" "Her shame2" Why, gentlemen, at that very mo- ment, in bright and bewildering rooms, the arms of Lothario and Lovelace were encir- cling your sisters waists in the intoxicating waltz. These men go unwhipped of an epithet. They are even enticed and flattered by the mothers of the girls. But, for all that, they do not bear without abuse the name of gentleman, and Sidney and Bayard and Hal lam would scorn their proclamation and be- trayal of the name.-Harper's Magazine.

Make Children Orderly and Neat.

If you have several little children in your nursery, give each one place in which to keep it's own toys Make it rule that each child should help the mother or nurse, and help each other, to pick up all the toys, books or games, and put the nursery in order be- fore it is time for the evening meal. This also is the time to wash face and hands, smooth tangled hair, so that papa may see a tidy room and have some bright faces to kiss, if he is fortunate enough to reach home before the children's bedtime. saw in g nursery the other day q very nico little na1 brush, and the mother said 1t was the best brush for cleaning children's little grimy hands that she had ever used.

ANXIOUS ABOUT STANLEY.
AN ALARMING RISE IN THE RIVERS
 OF GERMANY.

A Batch of Brevities Discussing the Death
 of Zanxibar's Sultan, . New Phase of
 Emperor Frederick's Illness, O'Brien's
 Belligerency and Other Matters. %
 LONDON, March 2s.-News received from the Congo country, bearing the date of Jan 27, while full of detail regarding the state of the country, makes no mention of Stanley's presumed fate or whereabouts The opinion Is expressed. however, that the first news of him will reach Europe by the way of Zanzi- bar. The continued absence of even rumors concerning the explorer increase the anxiety felt both in England and on the continent, and the belief is growing stronger daily that he has succumbed to the almost unbearable climate of the interior of the dark continent or the attacks of the savage tribes that must have swarmed about his path
 The death of the Sultan of Zanzibar is an- other cause of anxiety in British official circles. English influence has for years dominated in Zanzibar, but as there is no definite law of succession in that country it is feared that the next occupant of the throne may overthrow all of the monuments of pro- gress reared by Bargasch ben Said and plunge the country into the flood of semi savagery from which it was rescued by Sir Bartle Frere and the British representatives who followed him. Said Khalef will succeed to the sultanate
 The mass of cartilage just removed from the larynx of Emperor Frederick was, it is now learned, found wholly disconnected from the part of the throat upon which it grew, and required no surgical operation to enable the doctors to secure it. Its separation as well as its appearance is believed to indicate that nature is making a curative effort en- tirely independent of the physicians, which lar voluntary expulsion is unknown to the ment of cancerous diseases The circum- stance is also held to furnish incontrovertible evidence of the correctness of Dr. Mackenzies persistent contention that the disease is not cancer. The report recently put in circula- tion that the emperor is able to take only liquid food is untrue He eats solid food with comparative ease, and experiences no difficulty whatever in drinking. He is much thinner than he was when he went to San Reno, but looks much better than be is com monly represented as appearing
 MT. William O'Brien, having got safely away from Youghal, intends to speak at Fermoy on Thursday. The usual row which is the feature of meetings held in defiance of the prohibitory mandates of the Irish execu- tive is expected to occur, and there is a well founded expectation that the wilfully defiant editor of United Ireland will be arrested It was not the intention of the government to arrest him at Youghal last Sunday unless it should become absolutely necessary, and to this fact MT. O'Brien owes his liberty.

A Water Famine Feared.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., March 2s.-The temporary dam at the water works at Wes- tons mills broke yesterday, and the city is left with one days supply of water in the reservoir and with a water famine, or at least serious inconvenience, in perspective. The break is the third one. Three weeks since the main dam gave way and tempo rary structure was erected before the water supply gave out Then this coffer dam broke, and now the heavy rainfall has caused both coffer dam and foundation of the new stone dam to be washed away. E1traordi- nary measures have been taken to prevent a famine, but the reservoirs are very low.

 NEW YORK, March 2S.-William Dor sheimer, editor of The Star and formerly lieutenant governor of the state, representa- tive in congress, and United States district attorney, died of pneumonia at 9:22 o'clock Monday night, in the Pulaski house at Savan- nah. News of his death did not reach this city until yesterday.
 MT. Dorsheimer was apparently in good bodily health when he left the city. He in- tended, he said, to take a short vacation, in order to be in trim for the active work of the presidential campaign.

Dorsheimer's plan was to rest in the south until the climate moder- ated in the city, and he expected to make a short visit to Washington.

DEVASTATED BY FLOOD.
Alarming Rise in German Rivers-Mapy
 Towns Submerged.

Alarming Rise in German Rivers-AIany
 Towns Submerged.
 BERLIN, March 2S-By the rising of the waters in the Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and Oder rivers forty villages and hamlets have disap- peared, miles of railways are practically at tine bottom of new lakes, and 5000 persons are homeless and ruined in circumstances Much of the area can never be drained again, and even midsummer must find thousands of acres of farm land still submerged along the Elbe.
 Icebergs formed in the river, dashing away bridges, dikes and embankments-even over leaping these-crushing houses as if they were eggshells, drowning cattle and even persons who were unable to escape the suddenness and velocity of the food
 An embankment on the Nogat river near where it empties into the mouth of the Vistula, fine piece of engineering work, broke like a thread, with the noise as of a dozen Krupp guns exploding.
 It is doubtful if the city of Elbing escapes. The towns of Marienburg and Jonasdorf are already partially inundated. The floods also extended further south. A whole district, that called Bodrog, in northern Hungary, is also inundated, the rivers having destroyed all dikes and swept away about twenty villages
 Floods from the Szamos river have com pletely surrounded the town of Fehergyarmat, where numerous houses have fallen in fifty villages of that district, which is converted into heaps of ruins, and thousands of the in- habitants are left without shelter or food.
 The high waters from the Theiss and Sza- mos rivers, which have caused enormous de struction of property on their way, have now reached Szegedin, and the flat district between Szegedin and Temesvar is threat ened with submersion before Saturday.
 The loss of property and lives it is at pres ent impossible to estimate, but it will reach large proportions Battalions of engineers have been dispatched to points along the Wis tula and Elbe to rescue the inhabitants of towns and villages which are still in danger On the Elbe fourteen soldiers were killed while endeavoring to break an ice blockade by blasting.
 The Warthe, tributary of the Vistula, has burst through its entertainments near the Russian frontier, and an inundation ensued that laid great part of the military city of Posen under water. The waters are flooding the entire district and still rising. Detach- ments of soldiers have been ordered to the lower reaches of the rivor to blast the ice which dams the floods The Vistula river stands higher at Elbing than during the un- usual seasons of 1855 and 1876.

CareIessness in Dress.

Slovenly, careless dress is offensive because inconsistent with perceptible unities in nature. The human body is ill itself a type of order demanding orderly attention; and one will often find that the person who pro- fesses total indifference to dress is lacking in appreciation for tho subtle features of natural beauty. They will admit sublimity and grandeur on large scale, but take little or no pleasure out of the intricate geometri- cal regularity of the marvellous works of natures lower kingdoms.
 Lack of artistic appreciation for dress is by no means evidence of mental superiority but evidence rather of the overstimulating of certain faculties at the expense of others, for a thoroughly well rounded person finds de- light in all beauty, and can TO more toler- ate discordance and disorder in clothes than in the arrangement of the score of an opera or the finished work of an artist.-Annie Jenness Miller in Coed Housekeeping.
