proud of the building, for taking it all in
all its beauty, and we must celebrate
it's completion in an appropriate manner.
A week or so ago we suggested that the

wordsworth and coI.sidgs.

A correspondent of the London AthenGsus, writing from Westmore- land, says: "The most interesting of my conversations was with . very picturesque old man I found moving in low field to the left of the boat stage on Lake Grasmere. The old man had known Wordsworth we'll, and his sister had lived as a servant in the poets home for years. He was greatly respected, but kept very much to himself, and never spoke to others except when obliged. If he saw any thing in plant or insect that attracted him, he would stand gazing at 1t and talking to himself until people who did not know him thought there must must be something wrong about him. Then suddenly the old man broke off with: 'Ah, sir! but Mir. Hartley Coleridge was the mani Dear little gentleman You know, sir, he was really twice the man that MT. Word sworth was, for he had a word for everybody, and every body loved him though in London I am told MT. Wordsworth is more thought of. But you sec, sir, MT. Wordsworth had character, and dear MT. Hartley, sir well, he had not character. It is a great thing in this world, sir, is character. But for all of that, sir, dear MT. Hartley was the better man of the two.

A Surprising Showing.

The result of the researches of a special commission appointed by the English government shows that the moderate use of spirituous beverages insures a larger average duration of life than the total abstinence from the same. The investigation was extended to 4,234 deaths. The inquiry estab- lished the fact that the largest average age, 6S.1S, was reached by moderate drinkers, and the lowest, 5l.22, by total abstainers, whose average was even less than that of decided drunk ards-52.0S. An interesting state ment of results will be found in another column.

The English Government Commission on the Use of Alcoholic and
 Rermented Beverm0ea


 Fermented Beverages.
 St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 Regarding the average duration of life of people using alcoholic bever- ages and total abstainers from same, the British Medical association has made some highly interesting re- searches. The English government appointed & special commission with orders to ascertain in what proportion the average duration of life was influ- enced by total abstinence or by mod crate and immoderate use of liquors. This commission extended it's investi- gation to 4,2S4 deaths, and the result of the investigation was surprising. The respective dead were divided into five classes under the following denom- nations:
 First, total abstainers from the use of liquor in any form.
 Second, moderate drinkers.
 Third, careless drinkers.
 Fourth, free drinkers who used liquor without restraint.
 Fifth, decided drunkards.
 The average age which was reached among the five classes was as follows :: First class, 5l 20.
 Second class, 63.13.
 Third class, 59.67.
 Fourth class, 5705.
 Fifth class, 520S.
 This shows the remar rkable fact that the total abstainers have the shortest average duration of life, while the longest average k attained by the moderate drinkers, which exceeds the average age of the total abstinence people eleven years. Even the noto- rious drunkard lives on an average longer than the total abstinence man. In another statistic submitted by the commission, all deaths under the age of 30 years are excluded, and the average duration of life of the five classes in this statistic is as follows: First class, 57.Sl.
 Second class, 66.48.
 Third class, 6l. .52.
 Fourth class, 58 87.
 Fifth class, 53.42.
 The fact Is again demonstrated that the moderate use of spirituous bever- ages insures 6 larger average duration of life than the total abstinence from same. A division of the people using spirituous beverages, In such using fermented and in such usiDg distilled liquors habitually, would show a still more favorable result tor those using fermented liquors.

PAMPAS PLUMES.
How These Pretty Decorations are
Dried and Cured.

How These Pretty Decorations are
Dried and Cured.
An interesting scene is laid out on
Brooklyn street, just off of Figueroa. 1t
is the orchard OF J. M. Stewart, where
he is curing about % 900 pampas plumes
for the eastern market. Mr.. Stewart is
the pioneer in this business, and knows
all about it. He came here some twenty
years ago and bought seventeen acres
where this place is. Some ten years ago
he became interested in pampas grass,
and procured lot of the very best roots
known. He then thought that in five
years he alone would overstock the mar
ket. But after ten years he finds the de-
mand better than when he began, and a
good market for all the good plumes 10
be had. Prices are IS thousand better
than before. Mr.. Stewart finds
that when in full bearing an acre will
produce 10000 to Il, 900 plumes a year.
For the past four years the income from
the crop has been $500 to $500 per acre.
The latter result is where the grass is in
full blooming. To get fine plumes
liberal use of water is necessary. Mr.
Stewart irrigates bis plants once in ten
days. His land is very easily worked
sandy loan. His experience is that
without plenty of water the industry
is failure. To make much out
of it, too, the best roots must
be secured. The plumes are used merely
as ornaments, and poor, stunted speci-
mems are not an ornament anywhere.
The curing of the plumes is very
simple, and the cultivation need not cost
above $50 An acre. They are gathered
from the plants at the proper time and
spread out in the sun on the clean,
dry ground. Then they are transferred
to q cheaply built shed furnished
with several tiers of shelves
on which the drying is COM
pleted. Yesterday HERALD reporter
who was in the neighborhood, inspected
the process with much interest. Here
were thousands of the beautiful
feathery sprays nearly ready for the
market. A very large proportion Of

That Queer Trade.

D. A, Stone, the person who made a
trade with old man Crane, an account of
which appeared in the HERALD yester-
day, called at this Office yesterday to
state that Cranes version of the story is
inaccurate, in fact false. Stone claims
that there was no question of loan
about the matter and that no note was
given. He bought Crane out and paid
the money for the goods. Then some
neighbors told the old man he had made
a bad bargain, whereupon he got sorry
and wanted to trade back. Stone gave
him until yesterday evening to get the
money together, and then when Crane
failed Stone extended the time until to-
day. Crane will probably get the money
in time to recover his property. But
Stone says it was square bargain and
sale performance, and that be put the
bill Of sale on record (which is fact.
