American ladies in Italy have very great
advantages. They arc simpatica with the
Italians Many Italian noblenen at the
court have American wives VINO are ladies
of honor to the queen and are great IA
yorites. There IS no moro delightful so
ciety than that OF Rome; it always re-
minds Americans of Washington, the
same small set Of intimates, who meet
everywhere, with large encourage Of
diplomats and on English colony OF dis
tinguished people.
No one ever gets very intimate, how
ever, with Italians. They are polite,
warm hearted and social up IL certain
point; but there it ceases. There il in
Rome. the morc's tho pity. slow vanish
ing Of the picturesque, but there is still
enc relic OF the past. y Roman great
lady may wear modern gown, but she
retains her splendid jewels and the pride
Of her thousand ancestors; she repcls any
intimacy beyond certain point. They
never wish to be touched, even by ia
miliar hand in q friendly visit. The rule
to follow is. never touch the person; it is
sacred. When a lady in Italian society
wishes 10 be very polite she will shake
hands once. but rarely a second time. If
her American friend is In affection, she
will como and take tho friends hand and
press it to her heart tenderly. She may
kiss the friend On both checks, but there
Is none Of that free and easy caress-
ing, that locking Of arms, that douce,

Dinner Tables. Old and New.

The old English dinner table was a
massive thing and was heavily loaded for
dinner. There were huge joints. enor-
nous game pies and the carcasses Of
poultry. 1t was considered the correct
thing FOR the hostess TO carve and to press
the guests TO gluttony and the host TO
pass the bottle several times too often.
With such display of food there was little
room for floral decorations. In the course
of time tho vegetables were banished
from the table and handed by the attend
ants. Then the made dishes were dubbed
entrees and were cleared of the table and
brought in by the attendants piping hot.
Finally the meats were taken of, and
at last the guests were permitted to eat
or not TO eat, without any influence on
the part Of the host or hostess. while at
the same time the praising OF the viands,
which used TO be the practice, no longer
became proper. The appearance at the
table, as well ss the conduct at the table,
has changed. The table is not so massive
and the floral decorations arc frequently
of the most elaborate and costly descrip-
ton. People who cannot spend much
money on floral decorations, yet devote
time and taste to them. using such as may
be picked wild, ferns, berries. etc, besides
such cultivated ones as may be obtained.

The study Of Diamonds.

Strange as it may seem to the unini-
t!ated, no two diamonds are exactly alike,
but each has virtue and value pecu-
liarly its own. IL is just as rare to see
two individuals exactly alike in face, form
and feature as It is 10 see two diamonds.
The idea, also, that dealer in diamonds
can tell by looking at II gem its exact
value is all nonsense. A diamond has TO
be studied. While the aid Of a
glass will help to discover the
slightest flaw or imperfection. II does
not bring out its true value, bya long
way. Men who handle money constantly
can detect light coin by simply handling
and examining casually, but a fine dia-
mond has got to be studied from all points
before a safe estimate can be put upon its
value Shape, size, perfection Of cutting
and such matters cut en- important figure

American Good Nature.

what was the temper Of America be
fore the year 1852 was question put to
Benjamin Franklin in the house Of com
mons. The best in the world, was the
prompt reply. They submit willingly, "
he went on TO add, ito the crown, and
cast it little for keeping them in order.
They were governed at the expense of
only little pen. ink and paper; they
were led by thread. The temper OF the
American people. although severely ruff
fed for time toward Great Britain, be
came, as soon as the temporary irritation
ceased in independence, "thc best in the
world" and the best in the world it con-
tinues TO this day. In no respect Il this
good temper more cOnspicuously shown
than in submitting to personal inconveni-
ence.
The Frenchman will smirk and bow; and
forthwith lac is Is in frenzy, with the
guns unlimbered on the boulevards and
grapeshot sweeping public squares The
German, during the funeral Of the late
emperor 10 cite no other instance. was so
exasperated by the logged conduct of the
military police that he got himself ridden
down by cavalry hoofs and carried in
platoons TO the station houses. The Eng
lishman, although arespecter Of laws and
ordinances by habit, Is surly and gruff
under the slightest personal discomfort,
and shows his selfishness in street crowds,
on railway trains, and on steamboats,,
with little regard for women, children,
and other dependents on mans chiyalry.
American good temper is part of the ma
tionaJ philosophy. 1t is the economy Of
nerve power The good tempered man
saves not only his sensibilitics from fruit
less rasping, but his soul from wrath, and
generally his body from blows. 1t re-
quires fewer policemen to keep a public
assembly Of Americans in order than any
other body Of people in the world.-Chi'

rlcctricitv on the Human Organism

DR.. Schlicp, who is well known as q
spccialist on the continent. Is just now
delivering series CT most interesting
lectures on his researches as to the in
fuencc Of atmospheric electricity on the
human organism. on is functions, It's
state Of Lcalth or disease 1t is well
known that the electrical state Of the at
nospherc has certain influence on the
phenomena Of life. but the action Of posi-
tive electricity and negative electricity on
these phenomena has hot yet been deter.
mined.
Now, according TO DR. Schliep. in sup
posing the earth charged negatively. en-
atmosphere charged with positive cleo
tricity would Gct as Il stinulant on the
human organism. while that with mega
tive charge would have an cnervating cf-
feet. Positive atmospheric electricity
would favor organic exchanges, oxidation,
the circulation, the secretions. But IN
order that its influence might be salutary,
II would be necessary that it should be in
a certain affinity with the nervous excita-
bility Of the individual. An excessive
positive tension would produce q state Of
insomnia, neuralgia, megrims and even OF
infiammatory affections. Negative atmos-
pheric electricity would retard the ex-
changes, and would superinduce fatigue,
the interruption of the secretions, conges-
ton, apoplcxy, etc.
AS far as plants arc concerned, on the
contrary, their mutation would be fav-
ored by a negative atmospheric organiza-
ton. The vegetable germs and microbes
floating In the air would tend TO de-
velop when the atmospheric electricity
was negative. and a year in which
the DAYS in which this condition was
realized predominated would be favorable
to the development Of epidemic diseases.
It is well known that on stormy days
milk goes sour, organic substances decom-
pose, and bad odors are more noticeable
than in normal weather. These phenor1.
ena are cxplainable by the influence Of
negative atmospheric electricity. With
positive electricity, light, heat and hu-
mildly could only have these effects in q
modified degree. In conclusion DIR. Schliep
believes that atmospheric electricity has
an important effect on the action Of the
organism and on the therapeutic proper

A Hint To smoker.

1t is remarkable that people smoke so
much tobacco, in its various forms, that
is impregnated with deadly nicotine, when
by a simple method, which would not de-
tract one whit from its good quality. but
would remove all that is Objectionable,
the tobacco could be made free Of
this poison. Merely soak tie tobacco a
day in a shallow trough, and then lay it
in the sun, if feasible; if not, dry by tho
most convenient means, and the weed IS
robbed of all odoriferous properties and Of
nicotine 1t is then so sweet the fumes
would not offend the most sensitive lady,
because it has no fumes. Besides, the
vessel in which it is burned does not be-
come "stTong'-a valuable thing for a
man who prefers a meerschaum pipe TO
cigars. -Sergt. McNamee in Globe-Demo-

There are in some parts Of the Ieche
land settlements where fascinating and
unique people dwell, so closely united, so
materially independent Of the outside
world that they are almost like tribal
communities. The climate has done al
most it's genial best for these people.
They know nothing OF books or literature
they never have heard Of any OF the
ologies and isms that percoatc brains
elsewhere. but they live elise 90 nature.
They produce absolutely everything they
use or cat. They make pretty pictures In
their simple little homes, pictures that APP
peal TO one as barn yard scene on can
vas, or the suggested coziness Of q Dutch
interior painted by great master appeals,
rather than the representation Of wien
Faust nosing over tones IN his dim
laboratory.
The great truth of life for these is to
live and TO love, to dwell in comfort with
many children, TO fear God and TO obey
the priest, to die confessed and absolyed,
TO lie shrived in the sweet little church
and afterwards TO sleep under the purple
gorse and passion vines IN the grass'green
cemeteries, this is lifcs truth and mis-
sion for these simple folk. This history
Of such Il home, the convincing proof Of
its existence, is the best immigration do
cument any parish can put forth. We
want nothing better, moro moral, more
progressive than immigrants striving to
earn sweet homes; for these will bring
with them the manufacturer and the
business man, planting industries that
shall yield good haryests Of work and
prosperity. -Catharine Cole in New Or

Inventions In Dental Surgery,

The dentists in this city are divided
into two parties, one for maintaining in
violate the present code of ethics, and the
other for reforming it. The conservative
party is comprised chiefly Of men OF the
old school, men to whom professional
courtesy is c: higher Importance than
silver certificates. Most of the reformers
are young men who prefer dollars 10
doughnuts The two elements are at war
on the subject of the patentability ofmod-
ern inventions in dental surgery. The con-
seryatives contend that under the code all
inventions are made for the good Of hu-
mainly; that patents restrict the use OF
inventions. ana, consequently, humanity
suffers. The reformers believe that the
laborer is worthy of his hire; that If
dentist spends ten years in perhcting an
invention he is entitled to all he can make
out of it. The name Of Bohnwicl occurs
often in the discussions on the subject.
He is q rcformer Of the reformers. The
little machine that stands beside the
chair Of every dentist in Christendom is
mainly the creation Of his inventive
genius, and he has reaped liberal reward
Of geo, 600 from the patent. Yet no one
can say that he has not benefited human
ity.-New York Tribune.
