PROCTOR AND HARRISON PREVENT.

At the cabinet meeting when the
thermometer registered $50, the
grave subject said TO have been under
discussion was whether or not cabi-
net officers might wear flannel shirts.
Secretary Rusk proposed the subject,
just after Mr., Blaine had told fun
ny story. 1t had been on his mind
for some time, and he grew eloquent
as he enlarged upon the comforts
and beauty of that style of dress.
He said that these shirts were the
salvation of the farmers in the har-
vest field and at the threshing ma
chine, and that he had never been so
happy in his life as when he wore
one-a heavy homespun, none of
your newfangled, half-silk gauze.
Mr.. Blaine, it is understood, rather
approved the idea, but thought the
soft silk or crepe was better than the
flannel. 1t was too serious a ques-
ton, however, to decide at one meet
ing, whether the cabinet might be
perfectly comfortable if they chose.
But Uncle Jere's description of the
comfort of the shirt shook the foun-
dation of cabinet dignity until it tot
tered. But for the cool appearance
of Mr.. Proctor and the dignity of
Gen. Harrison, it is believed he would
have secured cabinet sanction of the
flannel Philadelphia Telegraph.

THE SHAH OF PERSIA IN ENGLAND.

1t is necessary to do more talking
about the Shah, for England has
done nothing but feast him, stare at
him, run after him, and talk and
write about him all the week. Tens
of thousands of pounds have been
spent III taking care of him, and the
thing is to go on for a long while.
The authorities started out to dazzle
his Eastern Majesty, but in fact En-
gland has been dazzled rather more
than the Shah, who gets himself up
regardless, and takes everything but
his own comfort with marvellOusly
cool Indifference.
His costumes have been something
absolutely gorgeous. The gold belt
around his waist is fastened with the
biggest emerald in the world. He
wears breast-plates of enormous dia-
monds, besides which he has a tire
mendous aigrette of brilliants in his
hat, and strings of precious stones
scattered all over him. A man who
understands such things, saw him at
the opera and said that he would be
very glad to buy him as he stood for
81 900, 900 and return him next day
unframed minus his clothes. His
Majesty wears, among other orna-
ments, the sash of the Order of the
Garter, to the centre of which he has
fastened his enormous diamond call
ed the Sea of Light. The man who
valued his Majesty at million dol
lars did not notice this at first, but
when he did he admitted that he was
willing to increase his price consider
ably.
The Shah has done all kinds of
things since he has been here. At his
dinners and lunches he makes no
speech outright, simply whispering
something in the ear of whoever sits
next him, which is repeated for the
benefit of the company. He does not
eat or drink, but looks on and smiles.
This omission is probably not due to
any fear of poisoning, but perhaps
he is disguised with the comments
that have been made upon his pecu-
liar methods at the table.
What seems to have amused his
Majesty most, next to the big ballet
at the Empire, was his trip to the
Geological Gardens. He went unex-
pected, without any crowd, and
wandered placidly about from cage
to cage, viewing the monkeys with
particular interest, also the perform
ances of the sea lions, and between
whites refreshing himself with pull
at bottle which he carried in his
coat-tail pocket, which is said to con-
tain only cold tea.-[London CORES

PENIS YLVANIA'S RESPONSE.

The Springfield Republican, COM
menting on the generosity with
which the rest of the country has
come to the aid of stricken Johns
town, well asks What is Pennsylva-
MAS response?' 1t then pertinent
ly says:
The flood had destroyed bridges,
cut off source of iron and steel sup
ply. and created an increased demand
for iron. Wherefore the overprotect-
iron ring of Pennsylvania forthwith
began to advance the prices of iron.
An increased demand for coal result
ed, wherefore the anthracite ring of
Pennsylvania monopolists advanced
the price of coal. Confronted thus
with the opportunity of either deal
ing generously in return with the
rest of the country or levying in
creased tribute from the rest of the
country, we see the alternative cho-
sen by the monOpOlistS.

CURIOSITIIsS OF THE PATENT OF
FICE.

There have been 800 patents
granted for the slot-machines, and
200 are pending.
The cannon plough is a presuma-
bly, convenient implement for sub
soiling and warfare on the frontier,
for as the plough-beam is hollow
and loaded, it can easily be wheeled
and fired, killing either the Indians
or the Observation-Disclosures happens to
be in the way, but the same inspired
genius has invented the pistol pocket
book; when the innocent and unsus-
pecting burglar asks you for your
pocketbook, you carelessly take it
out and empty its contents into his
abdomen.
There is claim in the patent office
for patent on the Lord Prayer,
the specification being that the repi-
tition of the same, rapid, and in a
loud tone of voice" will cure STAN

Among odd inventions are ''chick-
en- hopples, which walk the chicken
right out of the garden when she
tries to scratch; the "bee moth ex-
cluder," which automatically shuts
up oil lHS DCOlllNCS lHC HOIlS SO
to roost; the ''tapeworm fish-hook,"
which speaks for itself; the ''educa-
tional balloon" a toy balloon with
a map of the world outlined on its

device that drops the new-laid egg
through the bottom of the nest with
the intent to wheedle and beguile the
hen into at once laying another.
One of the latest patents is an au-
tomato bath-tub, which starts the
hot and cold water at a given mo-
ment in the morning to which it has
been set, maintains exactly the right

LINCOLNS RELIGION.

The August number of the Century
will contain chapter on Lincoln
and the Churches in the Lincoln his
tory, from which the following is an
extract from advance sheets:
He was a man of profound and in
tense religious feeling We have no
purpose of attempting to formulate
his creed; we question if he himself
ever did So There have been swift
witnesses, who, Judging from express
sions uttered in his callow youth,
have called him an atheist, and others
who, with the most laudable inten-
tions, have remembered improbable
conversations, which they bring for
ward to prove at once his orthodoxy
and their own intimacy with him.
But leaving aside these apocryphal
evidences, we have only to look at
his authentic public life and private
utterances to see how deep and
strong in all the latter part of his life
was the current of his religious
thought and emotion. He continu-
ally invited and appreciated, at their
highest value, the prayers of good
people. The pressure of the tremen-
dous problems by which he was sur
rounded the awful moral signifi-
canoe of the conflict in which he was
the chief combatant; the overwhelm-
ing sense of personal responsibility,
which never left him for an hOur-all
contributed to produce, in temper
ament naturally serious and predis-
posed to a spiritual view of life and
conduct, a sense of reverent accept
ance of the guidance of Superior
Power. From the morning when,
standing amid the falling snowhakes
on the railway car at Springfield, he
asked the prayers of his neighbors in
those touching phrases whose echo
rose that night in invocations from
thousands of family affairs, to that
memorable hour when on the steps
of the Capitol he humbled himself be-
fore his Creator in the sublime words
of the second inaugural, there is not
an expression known to have come
from his lips or his pen but proves
that he held himself answerable in
every act of his life to more august
tribunal than any on earth. The
fact that he was not a communicate
of any church, and that he was sim
gularly reserved in regard to his per-
sonal religious life, gives only the
greater force to these striking proofs
of his profound reverence and faith.

OF USE IN DIPTHERIA AND GROUP.

w. X. White of Chester sends the
following, whose value he has tested,
to the Springfield Republican: In a
report to the French Academy Of
medicine, DR.. Dietholl stated that va
por of liquid tar and turpentine
would dissolve the fbrinous tissues
which choke up the throat in Group
and diptheria He described the pro-
cess of treatment as follows: Take
a teaspoon each of turpentine and
liquid tar; put them into a tin pan
or cup, and set fire to the mix ture,
taking care to have a larger pan un-
der it as a safeguard against the
spread of the flames. A dense, resi-
nous smoke arises, making the room
dark. The patient Immediately
seems to experience relief; the chok-
ing and rattle stop; the patient falls
into a slumber and seems to inhale
the smoke with pleasure. The fibrin-
Gus membrane soon becomes detach-
ed and the patient coughs up mi
crobes, which, when caught in a
glass, may be seen to dissolve in
the smoke In the course of three
days the patient entirely RECEIVERS.
This remedy has proved successful in
many instances, and householders
everywhere should bear it in mind.
A prominent gentleman in Charles
town, who applied the treatment to
his child, after the sufferer was given
over as incurable by his family physi-
clan, suggests that before burning
the ingredients named, all such arti
cles as would be likely to be injured
by the thick smoke should be removed
or covered up closely.

RUB THE OTHER EYE.

Everybody who has done any
travelling by rail has been bothered
by the cinders, which will get into
the eyes. They get in very readily
but when it comes to taking them
out, that is quite another matter
The following hint contributed to
the Medical Summary by DIR. r. W.
st. Clair will be found valuable:
"A few years since, l was riding on
an engine. The engineer threw open
the front window, and | caught a
cinder that gave me the most eXcru-
ciating pain. | began to rub the eye
with both hands Let your eye
alone and rub the other said the en-
gineer. 4 know you doctors think
you know it all but if you let that
eve alone and rub the other one, the
cinder will be out in two minutes
l began to rub the other eye, and
soon | felt the cinder down near the
inner canthus, and made ready to
take it out Let it alone and keep
at the well eye shouted the doctor
pro tenn. l did so for minute long
er, and looking in a small glass he
gave me l found the offender on my
cheek. Since then | have tried it
many times, and have advised many
others, and have never known it to
fail in one instance"

THE SLA LIGHTER ON THE NILE.

The slaughter of the dervishes on
the Niles bank has raised a shudder
even in England, where shooting
savages is regarded as part of the
empires great civilizing mission.
The position of the poor wretches in
this case is particularly horrible.
They advanced many days journey
across the desert, and almost reached
the Nile, painting for drink of its re-
freshing waters. But there on the
bank the Khedive's troops were
drawn up. The savages fought
whole day in the broiling Soudan
sun to get at the water, but without
avail, and they hid themselves at
night in the hills Mounted cavalry
secured the banks all night to pre-
vent the tribesmen reaching the Nile,
and gunboats flashed electric lights
and fired shells continuously with
the same object. All next day the
same tactics were observed, and

to the point that we make it part of this
advertisement. 1t well illustrates the speed

tonian began his stud career when but two
years old. One of his first foals, if not his
very first, was A1exander's Abda11aIl. The
latter died when but thirteen years old vet a
careful study of the 2.3O list will show that
greater number OF the animals found there
trace to Alexanders Abdalah than to any
other stallion that ever lived, excepting his
own ancestors
dyk'S Hambletonian was in the stud from
1851 to the time of his death in 1875, a peri
cd of 25 years. During this time he got 1888
living foals. The first of these to acquire dis
tinction upon the turf was the famous Dexter
(2.1714), which was for several years king of
the trotting turf. Dexter's dam, is we'll
known, was Clara, 142-hand nervy, reso-
lutte daughter of Seely's American Star. The
last foal produced by Hambetonian is DIR. ].
a. Sherman's handsome stallion, very appro-
priately named HambletOnian's Last, like
ness of which appears upon another page.
He is a smoothly turned speedy fellow bred
by his present owner and foaled in S76. In
his eight-year-Old form he got a record of
2.25A. His DAM like that of Dexter q. ITO
was by See1y's American Star. Daughters of
See1y's American Star have already produced
thirty-three stations which have got 2-3o
performers. 1t is safe to pr, dict that before
many years Hambletonian's Last will be
numbered in that class
