System Of Personal Property,

II one were disposed TO be extremely
analytical he might observe that attached
10 this whole system of personal prop
erty and the easy getting Of incomes is a
certain snare. The American people
have only within the past twenty years
become generally informed as to the ma
ture Of personal property, such a stocks
and bonds and mortgages. Prior 10 that
time we derived our incomes from real
things, generally real estate, or, what
was almost the same thing, a mans
steady vocation, where his wits and cap
ital yisibly worked together at some BUSH
ness like coach making or brick making.
The tendency Of civilization has been TO
make real property al annoyance, or any
thing which can interrupt a mans life
who prefers the easy and indolent method
OF drawing his check, and having n bank
10 collect his rents, interest or whatever
is due upon his personal things, which
he keeps in a tin box at a small rental.

Cheap Food In London.

For a penny the London beggai may
buy a bowl of beef or pea soup and a
large piece Of bread. enough to keep off
starvation for a day. The spoon he eats
il with and the bowl he eats out of are
chained TO the table. Nothing is left ly-
ing around Loose in that style or restau-
rant. Two kinds of soup constitute the
entire bill OF fare for the penny soup
house. For a ha'peany there is always
a hot roast potato ready on the sidewalk.
These potato roasting ovens are trundled
about ON wheels, and are built to resem-
BILE n small locomotive. They are known
as murphy busters" Another style Of

pies, smoking hot, and two pence each.
The cham and beef shops are ready

beef at two pence, for the lowest amount

The Iethe Of Forretfuiness.

A London specialist, one DR.. Edward
Pick, has come TO this country to tell
Americans how 10 cultivate and train
their memories. Up 10 a certain point,
DR.. Picks speciality implies a desirable
attribute. But life Is 80 very full Of
things that one is happier in forgetting
that a retentive memory Is another name
for continual unhappiness. II the emf
nent Englishman can 30 train the men,
DRY that It's power TO retain agreeable
recollections can be cultiyated-its prone
ness 10 recall all the disagreeable events
OF the past can be curbed, then he should

Mistakes Concerning Deodorizers.

Attention is being called by DIR. Roose,
CT London, an eminent authority on the
subject to some mistakes concerning de-
odorizers and d~isinfectants. II is simply
useless, he SAYS, to place aucer con-
tanning chloride Of lime. carbolic acid,
etc., in a contaminated atmosphere, with
the expectation that the germs floating
about will be caught and killed. The
chlorine doubtless will remove some Of
fensive odors and rapidly diffuse itself
through the room, but to act as a true
disinfectant it must be so much concen-
trated that the air in the space containing
it would be quite irrespirable 10y human
beings, though it is, when used scientifi-
cally. the best of all disinfectants for
purifying the walls Of an empty room.
For deodorizing in sick rooms and pas
sages DIR. Roose thinks euchlorine gas
very efficient-produced when a few crys.
tails of chlorite Of potassium are dropped
into a little hydrocbloric acid; bromine
is even more powerful as q disinfectant
than chlorine, and both are far superior
to sulphurous acid; as TO carbolic acid, it
is stated that the spores of the micro-or-
ganisms discovered in cases Of splenic

Chickens Sold by Piecemeai.

That economy which is so great an ele-
ment in the French character is very
evident in the marketing Of fowls, In
Paris half birds can be purchased, both
cooked and ~uncqoksd, but at Bordeaux
this division u the fowl is carried out to
a much greater extent, and in ,he octag-
onal market Of the beautiful city on the
Gironde can I've seen peculiar looking caf-
cseses offered there for sale-carcasses
whose leading characteristic seems to be
the absence of meat. Legs, wings,
breast, all are gone.
These limbs and portions are offered
for sale separately, and thus a Bordelaise
h~ousekeeper able, as oil French cooks
are, to make a fine dish with very little
meat, can buy a leg, or a wing, or a
breast, without any Of the other por-
tons; or, if the purse Is not well lined,
then the carcass can be taken, from
which a splendid dish of soup may be
made. Even the blood is sold, showing
that here at least the proverb, "Waste
not, want not" is understood and OBJ
served. How different, says an English
writer. to the wastefulness in the kitchen
Of a Yankee millionaire, of whom it il
said the breasts alone of the fowls arr
cooked and sent to the table, the car
cases, including legs and wings, being
thrown on to the dnnghill. The secret O

concerning chnrm. nnd Amnlet..

A recent writer in an English magazine
tells Of the superstitions among the
gypsies and other half civilized races con-
corning charms or amulets. "a coin or
a pebble, carried long in the pocket, OF
around the neck, is supposed TO become
imbued with the personality Of the
wearer." These amulets arc believed to
hive a will Of their own, 10 feel affection
for their owner, and 10 cherish a hatred
toward his enemies. Not only tho
gypsies but Indian, Asiatic and African
tribes wear little tokens 'for luck,n be-
lieving IN their possession OF adumb, half
conscious intellect. In some savage tribes
. man Is known by his ''charm," or
fetch.
Our ancestors were not altogether free
from this superstition. The pouncets
carried In gold and silver boxes In tho
pockets Of fine ladies were withered APP
pies stuck full OF spices, which, after long
upe, were supposed 10 become imbued
with the vitality or animal strength Of tho
vsarer, and 10 ward OF disease from her.
