SAco, Me-, BLACKSMITH is the latest convert
to the belief that early rising is not always in
practice what it is in theory. He got up dark
ana early, the other morning, and had his fire
o!azlng oy O'Clock. The next thing he knew

on his blaze and the neighbors were screaming
fire" at the top of their voices.
The MAGIsTERIAL TARIFF in England for

creasing. The pleasing operation formerly cost
about a guinea; but the price of kisses has

ALTHOUGH it is too early to say anything about
the quality Of the Bordeaux vintage, it is salts
factory to hear that, so far as quantity goes,
the yield will be at least third above the av-
erage of an ordinary year, and that the leading
vineyards have been particularly favored There
has not been so much wine made in these vine
yards since the invasion of the phylloxera.
DR.. DoRNIL of Paris has discovered that ice
| is often medium for transmitting infectious
diseases, and particularly typhoid fever. He
| cautions people to use artificial ice made from
| boiled or spring water, and condemns ice OBJ
| tanned from ponds or rivers liable to contami-
| nation. According to DR.. Dornil, ice obtained
| from bad water is as dangerous as the water
itself.

HITHERTO only hemp Irvine has been employed
| by the British post office in making up bags
| and parcels, but experiments with jute cord
| having proved successful, it has been decided to
| extend the use of jute throughout the country.
| The hemp Irvine cost from 6l6d. to Is. per
| pound, whereas the jute is being purchased at
| 319d.s and it is computed that by the change
| the government will save about el0 900 an
nually.
THE number of foreign students at the Ger
| man technical high schools (Technische Hoch-
sch,ler) is steadily increasing, especially at
| Berlin, where the number of English students
preparing for the professions of mechanical
| and mining engineers, architects and chemists
| amounted last year to thirteen. Their presence
at Berlin is attributed to the fact that technical
| high schools in the German sense do not exist
| in England.
A NEW SUBSTITUTE for tobacco is being intro
| duced 1t is mixture of British herbs-the
| particular plants are kept secret-and smokers
| who have tried the compound declare IL to he
| deliciously fragrant slightly exhilaratng and
withal soothing to the nerves. Combined with
| ordinary tobacco it is said to make blend as
| satisfactory as that of chicory with coffee, but
| such blend is illegal and punishable by very
heavy fines. At present it is prepared in Scot
| land, under the name of herb tobacco and il
| has rapidly grown in favor.
| THE POOR PEOPLE miss the hand organs
more than you would believe" said a police
| officer to the New York Sun. 1.-THE street mu-
| SicianS frightened their DAYS as nothing else
| did. They used to sing the words to tn . tunes
| the organs played and the little ones danced
| to the music. 1t strikes me it was cruel and
a thoughtless thing to forbid them the town.
| The streets have seemed almost cherries since
| the law went into effect, and know that if the
| matter were put to a vote the people who like
hand organs and street bands would overwhelm
| those who don't like them"
| DR.. WHITAKER of Cincinnati, in an article in
1 ~.
! draws attention to the palace car as a medium
| for the dissemination of tuberculous disease.
| He says that the cars, owing to the caprice of
individual travellers, are generally ill-ventilated
| and there is no regard paid to the liability of
| infection through the sputum. In some Of the
| express trains a passenger may be literally con-
| fined in an atmosphere containing tuberculous
| dust for days together. He urges ths replace
| ment of plush by leather or carpets by rugs of
curtains by wooden or leather screens and the
| provision of separate compartments for invalids
| or consumptives travelling in search of health.
| AN ENGL1sHMAN of some distinction who /
| living in New York remarked that he could not
| quite understand the perennial joke about the
| relief which the average young man feels now
| that the ice cream season has closed. 1T seems
| strange to me" he said, that this Joke which
| is of such antique texture, should continue to
| circulate so freely and apparently meet with
| such a warm reception. 1t is absurd on its face
| for number of reasons. In the first place. a
\ man might indulge in the widest sort of an
| orgy in ice cream, providing there is only one
girl in the party, for less than dollar, even if
| he eoes to Delmonico's or the Brunswick
| Americans are VIGOROUSLY the most liberal
men in the matter of entertainment in the
| world. Ice cream has about as MANY
| terrors for an American a cigarette has for a
| Spaniard. In the same way there is a great
| amount of talk about the expense of restaurants
here. Most OF it is CANNON. man may take
| lady TO Delmonico's, the Hoffman, the Bruins
| wick, or the st. James, have delightful din
ner, including wine and cordials, buy perfecto
| cigar, give tue waiter quarter, and still have
some change left out of five-dollar bill This
is much cheaper than it can be done in London,
and the difference between an oyster stew and
| good dinner in New Y ork and a good dinner
in Paris is not very great. OF course there is
| great difference between an oyster stew and a
| good dinner in New York, but take it all around
| the man who entertains bis sweetheart in this
city is in no danger of being bankrupted If he
| cannot afford the moderate prices charged here
| for the good things Of life, he does not deserve
the sort OF girl who appreciates good things"
