The tracks of the Russian railroads have
n width differing from those of the Prus-
sian roads. The cars of Prussian lines
cannot, therefore, run through to Russian
lines, and vice versa. That is why every
traveller must change cars at the frontier.
Whenever the imperial family of Russia
passes that point in winter n viaduct is
built leading from the Prussian carriage
to the imperial waiting rooms at Wir-
ballcn, the Russian frontier depot. Such

Taking Life Too Hardly.

down Broadway lately, said: Every

hand" Baron Won Lehren, a famous
scholar who visited this country, OBJ
served the same popularity in the ma
tional temperament. THE Americans
are the best fed, the best clad and the
best housed people in the world; but the
most anxious. They hug possible calam-
ity to their breasts" he wrote of us.

propensity for brooding over imaginary
troubles, preach against it in many shrewd
proverbs. "Ncver cross the bridge till

We live to learn. Every householder
has been worrying himself about the
plumbing in his residence, expanding
money to put the best traps that can be
procured under his sinks and basins,
making experiments with all Sorts of in
ventions to consume the foul gases, pull
ing his wall to pieces to build air shafts
from the cellar up to the roof and six
feet beyond, and nevertheless living in
constant dread of diphtheria, typhus
fever and other diseases supposed to be
engendered by tho escape of the deadly
sewer gas. And now we are told by doc
tors and learned professors that we have
been frightening ourselves with ghost
stories; that air is comparatively
free from noNious gases and contains pro-
portionately fewer micro organisms thar
the outer air of the same locality.
OF course, u~nsCicntiiic people will be
apt to discrcdit these conclusions and to
pronounce them "humbug.' But what
are we to do when those by whom these
conclusions are reached offer proofs of
their correctness? How can We reply to
the matter of fact statements that ''scav-
engers who work in sewers are generally
healthy and long lived" that plumbers
seldom die of zymotic disease" and that
''sewer rats grow gray in their subter-
ranean quarters?"
Such proofs of the nourishing qualities
of sewer gas are unanswerable. Yet it
is questionable whether they will remove
the popular prejudice against the inhala-
ton of the elastic fluids of the house
drains, or induce people to abolish traps,
ventllators and air shafts, notwithstand-
ing the long lived scavengers, the healthy
plumbers and the venerable subterranean
rats.-New York World.

IN The FRENCH cgMg1eRlEs.

That TaVcrits Emblem, the Everlasting
Flower, Superseded by the Glass Bead.
The everlasting flower, which used 10
be the f~avorite emblem of mourning in
the French cemeteries, has now been
almost superseded by the glass bead. At
the recent festival of the dead, to every
person who carried a wreath of immor-
tellcs to the cemetery n hundred carried
wreaths of beads. Those who along the
shores of the Mediterranean gather the
everlasting flowers to be sent to Paris
grust be sorely tried by this change of
custom. There is a little town called
Dllioules, near Toulon, whose inhabitants,
about $500 in number, have for many
years earned their living by collecting the
everlasting flowers on the sun scorched
hills and preparing them for
Care must be taken to pick them in the
bud, for if the infiorescence is advanced
the seeds will ripcn afterwards, and the
so called flower, which botanists describe
very differently, will fall to pieces. There
is still n certain demand for immortelles
in Paris, for there are workshops in the
~ltoquette quarter, where women are con-
stantly employed in making them into
wreaths, crosses, etc. This is usually
done by fastening the heads of the flowers
upon n foundation Of tightly packed
straw.
But, as l have already stated, it is the
bead wreath that is now n La mode. The
change is not one for the better. Tho
immortelle, although it is ono of natures
sham flowers, is, like the amaranth, n
poetic emblem of eternity. That it de-
Gays, those who went to the cemeteries
on All Saints or All Souls had ample
evidence, but it will last a few years
without looking very shabby. 1t, there
fore, imposes no great tax or expense
upon mourners to put a fresh wreath over
the old one as the latter wears out. The
bead wreath is without beauty and with
out any of hat association of poetic and
religious idea which gives an emblematic
value. 1t is simply an economical expe-
Gicnt; glass beads do not wear out, and
when they are strung upon wire that does
not rust they remain where they are
placed year after year, quite unchanged
by wind and weather.
The French are practical people, and
Lacy appear to have come to the conclu-
non that the best emblem of immortality
10 put upon a tomb is made of glass and
sire. The reasoning may be sound, but
lie taste is detestable. The bead wreath
il Z lamcntable invention, on n par with
that OF the metallic flower which is to be
seen in 4 pot on manya grave in the
Paris cemeteries. The French are I'M
doubtedly n nation of highly cultivated
taste; but their decorative sense has an
inherent tendency to break u into vul-
Elrity and tawdriness. We see this in
their rocco buildings, like the Grand
Opera house, where unity of design and
nobieness of proportion have been utterly
sacrificed to the flashy adornment that
the crowd mistakes for art. And vet

In her daily life Mrs. Dinah Mulock-
Crailt was remarkably methodical.
Though many of her works appeared in
periodicals, she would never under any
circumstances consent to n beginning Of
publication before the work was entirely
out OF her hand, and, what is very sigu-
lar, she is said during the whole course
of her forty years labors never to have
begun writing anything which she did
not carry straight through, and it is be-
licvcd that she has not left behind n sin
gle line of unfinished work intended for
publication. Indeed, everything she ever
wrote with the view to publication has
been published. London News.
