Vice and Virtue in the CITY.

1t is said that New York is the wick
edst city in the country. 1t is the largest
and vice thrives in crowded communities.
Yet if it is the wickedest city it is also
the best on the continent. If it contains
thousands of the worst men and women
in our land, it contains also thousands of
the brightest and best of Christians. In
point of morality it will compare favor
ably with any city in the world. 1t is
unhappily true that the devils work is
done there upon large scale; but so is
the work of God upon an even greater
scale. If the city contains the gaudiest,
the most alluring and the vilest haunts
of sin, it also boasts the noblest and
grandest institutions of religion, of
charity and virtue. Being the great
center of wealth and culture, New
York is also the center of everything that
is good and beautiful in life.-Joe How
ard in ST. Louis Republican.

Names for New States.

There is a good deal in names, in spite
of what somebody has said. The house
committee ON territories know 1t, and
they wisely insist that if the northern
half of Dakota comes into the Union it
shall be not as North Dakota" but as
"Pembina'; and that if Washington"
organizes it must drop its already much
appropriated name and take Tacoma, y
yakima" or "Wallula," well known
aboriginal designations. There is no
reason why new states should bear names
worn threadbare, or why one should be
called North" or West something or
other. 1t argues poverty of language.
All new states ought to be compelled to
bear melodious Indian names, as most OF
the old ones do.-Frank Leshe's.

Foreign Schools In Turkey.

The Turkish government appears to be
reviving its school laws with the aim of
suppressing American and other foreign
schools. The new law provides that no
foreigner can open school without a
special firman given by the sultan him
self; and such documents he is slow to
give. The law forbids any Ottoman
subject from attending such school I'M
til he shall have taken course OF relig-
ious instructions. The schools now ex-
listing are to be suppressed unless they
conform to these regulations within six
months. As large amount of capital is
invested in educational institutions in
Turkey, the American minister has pro-
tested against this law, and urges other
embassies to join him.-Frank Leslie's.

WAlES'S HEIR.
From a London Letter.

In everything except the indispensable
tawny beard that falls like roll of dead
gold silk to the extremity of massive
chest. Prince Albert Victor, the eldest
son of the prince of Wales, models him
self OH Ouida's heroes. He is as fond of
knicknacks as lady. His private apart
ments are the nearest approach to the
talented but vulgar authOress's ideal of
young guardsman's rooms. He would
not brush his hair otherwise than with
an ivory-backed brush to save his life.
Eau de cologne and other perfumes have
their place in his bath. To write a note
on paper that was not the triumph of the
perfumer's art would, in his own imagin-
alton, be unworthy of his tastes and posi-
ton. He has started in life, in fact, as an
exquisite of the George ". type; but
luckily for himself and for the nation,
he is preserved from some of the most
Objectionable traits of the "First Gentle
mans" character by the sensitive shyness
of his disposition. He differs again from
most exquisites in having praiseworthy
desire to pay promptly for the luxuries
in which he INDUCES. Indeed, he wor-
ries his attendants to worry his trades
people to send in their bills sharp, and
frets and fumes if the astute shop-keeper
alive to the value of having the future
king of England upon their books with
in decent limits-delay in delivering their
accounts. Like his father, he gets his
clothes - and plenty of them - from
Poole. Prince Albert Victor's idea of
dignified mufti is frock coat and laven-
der or gray trousers. He seldom wears a
cutaway coat, and even when travelling
hardly ever appears in suit of dittoes.
On the whole, he may be described as
very stately and solemn young man.

The Aqueducts of Peru.

Among the great water works of the
world those of Peru were in some respects
the most difficult achievements of any.
The Incas built aqueducts from the
slopes of the Andes for distance OF over
100 miles to the capital, carrying the
water partly through tunnels cut in the
rocks and partly on arcades on supporting
pillars of mason work to span valleys, the
channels being composed of cut stone
without cement. From these great aque-
ducts number of branch conduits and
burrows were laid laterally for irrigation
purposes. -Scientific Journal

Novel Defensive Weapon.

A novel weapon of defense has been
found in the ruined pueblos of Arizona.
In the doorways of several Los Muertos
rooms the Heminway expedition has
found many huge defensive stones. These
stones are ponderous masses of volcanic
rock, rather handsome in shape, but
destructive in design. The upper end
tapers to sort of handle. The stone
was suspended in the doorway by buck
skin thong, which was fastened to the
ring or handle. The method of using it
was extremely simple. By holding it
back and then letting it fly file of men
could be hewn down.-Chicago News.

NAMES FOR STATES.
The True Test Of the Name Of q Country.
Verbal Awkwardness.

The True Test Of the Name Of Country.
Verbal Awkwardness.
Probably the worst name for a country
known to history is the United States OF
America 1t is ambiguous, may mean
either nation or confederacy, and has
two senses in the constitution. 1t is not
so trivial as New Found Land, but it is
longer and does not admit of shortening,
as does the name of our neighbor island
to Newfoundland. New South Wales is
almost as bad and all three are awkward
beyond redemption. The test of the
name of country is in whether it adj
mits of derivative gentle noun and adj
jective Europe gives us European; ;
Britain, British, Cyprus, Cypriote, and
Siam. Siamese These are good as
names. But no man can bring himself
to say that he is New South Welsh
man. or that he is a United States of
American.
And so, after the fashion in which the
neighbors of Praise God Barcelona S
brother with the wonderful name, IF
Christ had not died thou hadst been
the habit of calling ourselves simply by
the tail end of our proper designation,
Americans, forgetful that every human
being from Yukon to Patagonia has
equal rights with us to the name. The
people of New South Wales want to
change their name, and The Spectator
well says they ought to do it, although
for them to claim the name of Australia
would never do. They might call their
country Sydney, or Sydneyland, or Cook
sylvania or Southland, or Auralia, il
makes little difference what so long as il
is manageable. What not to call them.
selves might be learned from the names
of some of our United States of American
states. Some of our states allow no de.
rivative. A man from Virginia is Vir-
ginian, from South Carolina South
Carolinian, but how does a man from
Massachusetts, pronounce his name? Only
Yankee, which is no less absurd than fol-
Enroughty to spell Darby What is a
man from Connecticut? Still Yankee.
What is a man from New Hampshirei
Still Yankee, although Senator Cass
tried to better the term when he called
John P. Hale New Hampshire goose,
and Hale retorted by calling Cass Mich
igander. Men from Maine can still be
only Yankees or Down Casters, for they
resent, we believe, being called Mainiacs.
The later names adopted by our states
are generally musical and disable, al
though Ohioan is a disagreeable deriva
tive of Ohio. The gentle word ought tc
be Ohiote, like Cypriote, but, perhaps
the people of that great state do not care
to rhyme with coyote. Wisconsin re-
fuses as strenuously as Michigan to &C
cept derivative, as the only one posi-
BILE would be Wisconsinner Of the pres
ent territories Idaho has very swee
name, but what could its citizens cal
themselves? We suppose the people d
Utah might be Utes, but if the territory
were to take the proposed state name i
would be hard to call them Deseretters
What we chiefly seek in a name is that i
be easy to pronounce and be flexible. 1t
meaning is of little consequence. Chin,
is good name. but it means nothing
and the people of China have no knowl
edge of it.-New York Independent.

A GEM OF THE HEART.

Joy met Sorrow In place
Where the branches interlace,
Very secret, still, and sweet,
Safe from all profaning feet.
"Why art herew Joy, startled, cried;
why art heref" Gray Sorrow sighed.
81 came here to weep" said Joy.
''Tears are ever my employ"
Murmured Sorrow. "Yet l see
Tears as grateful were to thee.
Come, young novice, and be taught
How to ease thy heart DER fraught"
..-s.r
Joy sat down at Sorrows feet,
And was taught lesson sweet.
Fain would he make kind return;
Sorrow, art too old to learnt
Nay' Then tarry yet awhile
Till have taught thee how to SMILE"
Since that hour the two have been
Bound as by mysterious kin;
Since that hour they SO exchange
Tears and smiles, it's nothing strange
If sometimes puzzled heart
Scarcely can tell the twain apart

French Government Service.

Women employed by the French gov
eminent are furnished with hot lunch,

for the purpose in government buildings.
No letters are allowed to be delivered to

service rendered by the women, it is con-
sidered far superior to that Of the men in
matters of detail and everything which
calls for manual dexterity. Their salary
is extremely small. Chicago Herald.

The Rolling Pencil.

Never endure the trifing but none the
less real annoyance of rolling pencil or
penholder, when by merely sticking a
roughly squared lump of sealing wax on
the end. the rolling tendency is checked
forever. Sticking the pencil or pen
holder through a small square bit of
cardboard answers the same purpose, but
the cardboard is liable to slip off, or bend
out of shape. Ell. S. B. ~ in The Writer.

Artesian Well Pressure.

Sometimes the pressure of an artesian
flow of water results from gas pressure
instead of from a high head of water.
Dakota, for instance, has several artesian
wells 1000 feet deep, with $50 to $50
pounds pressure, but there are no high
places near by to give this head of water.

The OregosiaH says that while the Page
bin for restriction of Chinese immigration
was before the senate Harrison showed
that the amendment forbidding the natnr-
alization OF Chinese was wholly unneces-
sary since the proposed measure was al
ready law and incorporated In the revised
statutes We have taken the trouble to go
through the congressional record as touch
ing the Page bill and find there is not
word of truth in the statement. This state
| ment we believe was first made east and
telegraphed to this coast, and, we suppose
the 0yegoaiaa accepted 1t as true without
consulting the record. II Is certainly due
to the readers of that paper that II should
correct this material Misrepresentation OF
Harrison's record. Harrison said nothing
at all about the bill, nor did he discuss /
or any of the several amendments offeree
to 1t but contented himself with voting
against every restrictive feature OF the bii
without giving any reason therefore.
