Why we Eat Mince Pie.

That was a quaint touch of history which
DR.. Grifis gave his hearers at Shawmut church
yesterday about the mince pie, says the Boston
Advertiser. His was Christmas sermon with
all the rest, and in the course Of it he said:
''The mince pie, whatever it may be to weak
digestions, is also a harmless relic of the old
medieval custom Of teaching truths by visible
emblems, even as the passover was Swallowed
forth by the roast lamb, bitter herbs, un-
leavened cake, water and wine. This COM
posite is picture and symbol Of the manger
of Bethlehem. In its original oblong shape it
typifed the place Of the cattle, and by its
meats, spices and fruits in their order what
was present at the birth of Jesus-the flesh of
oxen and of the shepherds fiocks, the Oriental
frankincense and myrrh of the Magi and the
food out of the earth for man and beast. To
eat mince pie was once test of orthodoxy,
that is Roman Catholic orthodoxy. For this
reason this particular delicacy is tabooed by
the ultra Protestants. Now, however, we have
won this historical symbolic pastry from all
suggestions Of Roman ecclesiastical dominion.
and can eat it without asking any questions,
except for digestion's sake, as innocently as we
butter hot cross buns"

The GrOtesque Arizona Cactus.

From Corona News Letter.
Foremost among the sights which call forth
ordinations of establishment from the tourist
is that of the grotesque cactus of Arizona ter
ritory. Like other tropical productions, it is
totally unlike any preconceived notions of
what nature could design. The plant is leaf
less, having bare, ieshy stock, protected
everywhere by sharp and venomous barbs. Its
flowers are considered among the choicest.
varying from white and yellow to deep GRIM
son or purple. These blossoms, capitulum. are
wax-like, and their inhorescence calls to mind
Aladdin's tabled experience among the fairy
plants, with their sparkling fruits Of diamonds
and other gems. The fruit is egg-shaped with a
crown on the upper side. and is generally de-
hcious, presenting as varied colors as the flow
ers. 1T contains large quantity of seeds, sur
rounded by nicely-favored juicy substance.
In different species the fruit in size is all the
way up from a canary's to an ostrichs egg.
The cactus is almost imperishable. and can live
many months without water, although it is
only seen in its perfection under a plentiful
supply. So hardy is the plant that piece
from any part will take root and grow if placed
in the ground. even though it has lain around
for time. 1t thrives equally well Oh piece
of bare rock in scorching tropical sun as it
would packed in ice in a northern zone. 1t is a
paradox curiosity in the vegetable kingdom.

The American Dress.

1rom the d6DeruAsner
The principal trouble of the American style
of dressing is this, there is no general stand
ard. Individual taste-no, it is not taste-is
permitted to follow any fancy or within of the
benighted being. ''The fine dresser" to use
an American expression, considers only one
thing in purchasing suit of clothes-it must
be OF the finest and most expensive material.
No matter how badly it is made, or how map
propriate to the occasion on which it is worn,
the would-be American swell is saturated with
self-content over the blissful thought that it
cost him from 800 to S125. / believe this is
the price charged for what is termed in Eng
land swagger suit. In England individual
taste is kept down by conventional rules, and
properly so. A man who would wear frock
coat in the morning, or who would indulge in
the original eccentricities of dress displayed
by the average American would simply indi-
cate his ill-breeding and lack of position in
good society

"Gentlemen' in Medicine.

From the Medical Record.
The writer of recent work on the social GUS
toms which guide and illuminate the lives of
our English cousins takes up, with other things,
the subject of the medical profession. Our
readers will learn with interest, perhaps that
the profession Of medicine is not one sou ght by
gentlemen" in England. We had already at
times suspected this, although it must be con-
fessed that a number of English medical men
who have visited this country have conducted
themselves in such way as to be taken for
gentlemen by their American hosts. We are
glad, therefore, to find it admitted later that.
occasionally and exceptionally, through some
freak OF fancy or exuberance of scientific bias,
gentlemen" do take up medical studies.
The Philadelphia advocate of an olive-col-
ored button for doctors will be pleased to
know that in England this is not necessary, as
there is already a professional garb," con-
sisting Of high hat, light or dark, and a dark
coat This characteristic garb, with the high
hat, is to be seen in intense exfoliating luxu-
Rance in this city on St. Patricks day. The
high white hat is also. to some extent an
American vice. it is de regueur in the Bowery
and at political conventions during the heate d
spell.
1t is not "good form" in England to call
physician doctors" it must be Doctor Jones, :"
or doctor Smith," Our informant unfortu-
nately does not say whether it would not be
proper to use the favorite American mono
syllable, ''doc," or whether such conjunction
as DOC" Gull or doc" Jenner would be in
harmony with the best social usages of fash
ionable London.
The American doctor has some disadvantages
to contend against; but it is great thing that
he is an Americana real American-witlfout
any hyphen in front. to whom such stuff as is
written about the English doctor is meaning
less or amusing.

The Moral of Natural Gas.

From the Glen Cove Gazette
The moral of this discovery of natural gas
SO near to us on this beautiful little island is
an admonition for its inhabitants to pause and
think-to turn over a new leaf, and keep the
new leaf turned over all the time. It is an ad-
moaition to all that life il short at the best.
and that it is the extreme of folly to postpone
getting ready for the life to come until the
doctor says 'yOu have only few hours to
live" or up to the moment when natural gas
shall burst from the earth and destroy all liv-
ing things-that the necessity Of the hour is
for every man to reform himself not half
way sort of reform, but genuine, whole-souled
by attending any of the churches every Sum
day during this year.

Another Learned Shoemaker.

1IOu the MAIL 0dZette
Mr.. John Macintosh, author of sThe History
of Civilization in Scotland" who will write the
volume Scotland" in the Story of the Nations
Series, is in many respects a remarkable man.
He was sent to work on a farm in his native
county of Banff at ten years of age, and was
subsequently apprenticed to shoemaking, at
which trade he worked in various parts of
Scotland for fourteen years. In 1869 he opened
a small stationery shop in Aberdeen, sand
there. on the shop counter" he once wrote,
''amid all the noise and hustle of stirring
thoroughfare, the three volumes of my history
were written and the proof-sheets corrected
and revised, all being done while customers
were coming in and out and constantly inter-
rupting me-" Mr.. Mackintosh's shop is passed
daily by the professors on their way to the
university. and at one time several of them
were in the habit of calling occasionally and
having chat with the literary shoemaker He
was accorded the privilege, too, of using the
university library. His history consists Of four
portly volumes, the last and best dealing with
the moral and material advancement Of the
country. Mr.. Macintosh has been in the habit
all his life of rising before 4 a. m. He says he
finds the early morning hours the best for lite
rary work.

A RECORD OF THE ELECTION.
Certificates that Will be Preserved I'm
the State Department.

In addition to his other duties the Secretary
OF State finds himself burdened this year with
a new responsibility by the operation of the
electoral count act which was approved by the
President February 8, 1887. This act made
several innovations in the mode of casting,
counting, and recording the votes Of the presi-
DENTAL electors, among which was the desig-
nation Of the Secretary of State as a portion
of the official machinery. The first step. under
this act, was performed last Monday, being the
second Monday in January next following
their appointment" when the electors met in
the different states and cast their ballots for
the Offices Of President and vice-President.
This was in accordance with the first section Of
the act.
states have already provided laws governing
controversies or contests concerning the title
OF electors they shall follow such laws on the
present and future occasions
1t is under the third section that the Secre-
tary of States duties begin. Just as soon as
practicable after the final decision as to the
election, or. in the words of the act, the sap
pointment" of electors has been made in the
state. the governor caused to be prepared a
certificate showing the names of the electors
and the number Of votes each received in the
general election in November. This certificate
was done in type-writing on a good official
paper, and bore the signature of the governor
and the seal of the state. 1t was mailed as
soon as ready, to the Secretary Of State. Three
copies of the same certificate were given, on
or before Monday last, to the electoral college
of the state.
As soon as he received certificate from a
goverhor-those from the smaller states being
received soon after election-Secretary Bayard
caused it to be carefully copied three times in
typewriter, and each copy was certified to as
being true and correct One was sent to the
President Of the Senate, and another to the
Speaker of the House. The third was pub
lished as an advertisement. There is no pro-
vision in the act for the payment of the adver-
Using bill. which has not yet been presented to
the Secretary. consequently Congress will be
asked for money enough to satisfy the publish
er's claim. 1t is a large one, amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars.
As soon all of the certificates are pub
lished and copies transmitted to the Senate and
House Of Representatives. the only thing re-
naming for the Secretary to do will be to ar
range the original certificates, which do not
leave the department neatly and tie the papers
belonging to each one together with bit of
ribbon. The whole bundle will then be bound
in book and on the cover will be stamped, in
letters of gilt. some such legendas this: "Pres-
idential election certificates, 1889" This vol
ume, which is the original proof of the validity
of the Presidents election, will then be filed
away in the bureau of indexes and archives
and will become one Of the documents Of the
nation.
