swALLOw.TAILED SOCIETY.

Nature and instinct teach the cverlast-
ing fitness OF thiogs. There ia time
and place for all things. The man that
undertook to despise the conventionality
OF wedding garment was cast out as
not fit company for decent people. il a man
insists on his inalienable right Of being
q pig, the world says the parlor is no
place for him. Our conclusion Is that
the social law that requires swallow
tailed coats and dress suits for certain
occasions is binding OF course, il the
Legislature OF Virginia should repudiate
them our society men would have to wear
jackets until Judge Bond should re-estab'
lish the dignity and fundamental value OF
tailines.
But allowing Judge Bond and the
Legislature aside the supreme authority
OF swallow-tails, there's moral that ac-
companies this law OF the fashion as
pointed as the tails Cuculfus non Jdctf
uaonachum-a cowl doesn't make monk.
Nor does q swailow.tail coat make gen.
tleman. There's danger in the awe that
the open bosom apd finished dress suit
inspires And it is far from wholesome
for plain, honest, unpretending citizen
to expose himself to the shower OF their
overwhelming influence. A man OF char
scter, used to other modes OF thought
and other standards, acclimated to dif'
ferent atmosphere, shrinks within him
self, casts about for some nook near at
hand to hide his diminished head in;
sometimes feels like running home, like
Mr. Wrinkle, and burying himself in bed
TO escape utter humiliation. Isn't 1t a
pity TO think OF a good, honest, we'll
meaning fellow reduced to such pass !?
But human nature reyolts against this
imperious sway and tyrannic rule OF
conventionalism. A bold spirit is driven
sometimes TO vindicate and maintain his
manhood--on the tapis-and almost
swear out against dudism and fashion.
He holds his own In habit just enough to
escape notice He taps the bubbles of
society, blows them to their trial, with
one sensible remark, and 1.-THE bubbles
are out" He follows them to the supper
table-and finds them characterized by
the big Ts-appetites. 1nfallible; ca
pacitIes illimitablel The pageant is
faded. The illusion vanishes He ex-
claims with Callahan,
"Wbat thrice double ass was
To take these drunkards for kings,
And worship these dull fools"
All the vain array was only outside.
Well, generally 1t is good thing to
dress decently, flttingly, becomingly. 1t
is q bad thing to lean too much on the
fullest dress suits for our claims to
decency, to gentility or respect
Worth makes the man,
The want OF II the fellow.
All the use IL only
Leather and prunella."
Society has come to bad pass when
its best or prime recommendation is that
II is without exception either Swallow
tailed or Prince Albert.

Every sun and every star thus formed is
forever gathering in the hem of its outer
robe upon itself, forever radiating off its
light and heat into surrounding space, and
forever growing denser and colder as it sets
slowly towards its center of gravity. Our
own sun and solar system may be taken as
good typical working examples of how the
stars thus constantly shrink into smaller
and ever smaller dimensions around their
own fixed center. Naturally we know
more about our own solar system than
about any other in our own universe, and
it also possesses for us greater prac-
teal and personal interest than any
outside portion of the galaxy. Nobody
can pretend to be profoundly immersed
in the internal affairs of Sirius or of
Alpha Centauri. A fiery revolution in
the belt of Orion would affect us less than
a passing fnger-ache in certain terres-
trial baby of our own household. There
fore l shall not apologize in any way for
leaving the remainder of the sidereal uni
verse to its unknown fate and concentrat-
ing my attention mainly on the affairs Of
that solitary little out-of-the-way second
rate system whereof we form an inappre-
ciable portion. The matter which now
composes the sun and its attendant bodies
(the satellites included) was once spread
out, according to Laplace, to at least the
furthest orbit of the outermost planet
that is to say, so far as our present knowl-
edge goes, the planet Neptune. Of course,
when it was expanded to that immense
distance it must have been very thin in
deed, thinner than our clumsy hu-
man senses can even conceive of.
An American would say, too thin ;
but / put Americans out of Court
at once as mere irreverent scoffers From
| the orbit of Nepture, or something outside
| it, the faint and cloud-like mass which
bore within it Caesar and his fortunes, not
to mention the remainder of the earth and
| the solar system, began slowly to converge
and gather itself in, growing denser and
denser but smaller and smaller as it grad
ually neared its existing dimensions. How
! long time it took to do it is for our pres
ent purposes relatively unimportant-the
cruel physicists will only let us have a
beggarly hundred million years or so for
the process, while the grasping and ex-
travagant evolutionary geologist begs with
tears for at least double or even ten times
that limited period. But at any rate it
has taken good long while, and as far as
most of us are personally concerned, the
difference of one or two hundred millions,
if it comes to that, is not really at all an
appreciable one.-Good Words

THE MIND CURE.
Rev. r. Heber Newton Defines the Tonic
and Elixir of Life.

Rev. r. Heber Newton, at the Anthem
Memorial Church, preached yesterday
morning on the subject of the mind cure.
The sermon consisted of review of many
of the "faiths" and 'isms" of ancient and
modern theology. The argument was
illustrated with incidents of the allevia-
ton of bodily ills through the agency Of
the mind as stimulant. "As a man
thinketh in his heart" said the preacher,
so will his mind, his soul, act upon the
material matter of which his earthly being
is composed, either for good or Ill. Pure
thoughts bring forth good actions and
true regard for the care of the body, while
vicious thoughts produce exactly the con-
trary effect. The Imagination of the pure
in heart is a tonic, and hope the very elixir
of life"
Mesmerism, the clergyman said, had
been practlced by the ancients long before
the birth Of the man to whom it owed its
name, and spiritualism was the tonic of the
pagan IN the most remote ages-the aspir-
alton for, or the search after something
beyond the material god Of wood or stone,
craven images, beast or reptile to which
they addressed their devotions. The long
pilgrimages of the Mohammedans to the
shrine of the prophet of Mecca, Mr.. New
ton gave as an evidence of the search of
the mind for cure for its doubts, its
troubles and its anxieties. Christ wrought
his cures through the faith implanted
IN the minds of those who came unto
him, and many were purified, even by
touching the hem Of his garments.
lie said unto his disciples, go forth
and cure all manner of diseases" by
which he doubtless meant the diseases
peculiar to the people of that day, in
which the ills of the mind-the possession
of devils, contrite souls seeking light and
rebelling against their Imprisonment, pre-
dominated. In the opinion of the preacher
he did not send them forth with ga patent
elixir, so-called faith cure of the present
day, done up in gilded wrapper at so
much per bottle, but with the spirit and
love of the Holy Ghost to sanity and
bless, and through faith in him to cure
the mind and bring the soul cleaned
and purified into the presence of its
Maker. The surgeon" continued Mr..
Newton, with his knife can cut away
the cancer; the strong of heart may
walk unframed amid pestilence and death,
but full conception of the infinite love
and majesty Of God alone can cure the
mind and give it rest in this world and
peace in the time to come"-N. Y. Press

Planting Slips.

An Eastern amateur cultivator, in rela-
ton to growing plants, says: when |
was boy nearly everything was increased
from slips, and | am not sure that the more
modern and now general practice of taking
cuttings is more successful than the old
plan of slipping off short auxiliary roots
with a heel instead of cutting them with
knife. If ever | feel the least doubtful
as to which method is best, | try both
ways; and, after some little experience in
this line find the balance in favor of the
slips Milky plants, such as euphorbia
iacquinehora, often fail as cuttings, but
short growths stripped off grow we'll.
Transformations, cloves and mule pinks
-onosma tauricum, small veronicas, etc,
we propagated quite successfully from slips
under cap-glasses or hand-lights on a
sandy border. Hollow-stalked pansy cut
tings generally fail to grow, but the same
growths slipped off at the crown and in
serted deeply in the sandy soil grow quite
freely. Of course, facilities for the root
ing of cuttings are now greatly improved
yet, for hardy plants more especially, be-
lieve we might return to the old-fashioned
habit of planting slips of many things with
advantage, and especially when cuttings
have been tried and failed" -Erchasge.

Ruined by a Spider.

Spiders crawling more abundantly and
eonspicuously than usual, upon the indoor
walls of houses, foretell the near approach
of rain; but the following anecdote init
mates that some Of their habits are equally
certain indications of frost being at hand.
Quartermaster Disjonval, seeking to be-
guile the tedium of his prison house at
Utrecht, had studied attentively the hab-
its of the spider; and eight years of i'm
prisonment had given him leisure to be
well versed in its ways In December of
1894 the French army, on whose success
his restoration to liberty depended, was in
Holland, and victory seemed certain if
the frost, then of unprecedented severity,
continued. The Dutch envoy had failed
to negotiate peace, and Holland was de-
spairing, when the frost suddenly broke.
The Dutch were now exulting, and the
French Generals prepared to retreat but
the spider warned Disjonval that the
thaw would be of short duration, and he
knew that his weather monitor never de-
ceived. He contrived to communicate
with the army of his countrymen and its
Generals, who estimated his character, and
relied upon his assurance, that within a
few days the water would again be passable
by troops. They delayed their retreat.
Within twelve days the frost had returned
the French army triumphed. Disionval
was liberated, and a spider had brought
ruin on the Dutch nation.

THE ORANGE CROP IN LOUISIANA
The New Orleans Democrat says: "There
are very meager indications of an orange
yield this year. Few trees are in full
foliage, and less have blossomed. The
trees that will produce any fruit are princi-
pally on the right bank. The storms and
frost of last winter occasioned less disas-
trous effects to orchards on the right bank
than those on the left. On dit, that wintry
winds striking the river first are not so
severe or injurious to trees as when the
frosty gales strike them from any other
side but that of the river This theory
has many believers. Those persons who
possess orange groves consider that the
cultivation of rice in the rear of the orch
ard is detrimental to the welfare of the
fruit trees

simmon, Peach, Apricot and al tree fruits as
well as all small fruits for the table and a ready
market obtained. as well as a large market for
all dairy products, for which this county is
noted. The property has been subdivided into
Dairy, Fruit, Vine and Cereal tracts, varying in
size from % to 1000 acres; also fifty small farms
in 21a to 25-acre tracts. This lana all lies con-
tiguous to the thriving town of Los Alamos a
strong, growing town, and backed by a very
