Our Legation in London.

The official quarters of the American Minister in England would be dis grace to the United States if they were no bigger than Henrico County. A small tin sign beside door in tall building in Victoria street, contains the legend that this is "The Legation of the United States of America" You are fortunate if you can find the place, for no one you ask has ever heard of it. Some think it is at steamship company's. Having found the place you ring bell. After long time a maid opens the door. You say you wish to see the American Minister. In- stead of showing you into an ample office she waves her hand towards the back of the passage, where it is nar- rowed by the stairway, and with sniff disappears. You wander darkly back and find door with card signifying that this is ''The Legation of the great country from which you hail. The upper panel is of smoked glass, to admit ray of light into the passage, but as it does not enable you to see, you feel until you find the bell, when you ring again. This time messen- ger opens the door, and you are ushered into "The Legation'-thiee or four little rooms-with old faded table and chairs and old faded, worn carpets.

AphOrisms.

It is always a sign of poverty of mind where men are ever aiming to appear great; for they who are really great, never seem to know it.-Cecn.
 The polite of every country seem to have but one character. A gentleman of Sweden differs but little except in trifes, from one of another country. It is among the vulgar we are to find those distinctions which characterize 8 country.-Goldsmith.
 There is nothing so elastic as the human mind. Like imprisoned steam, the more it is pressed the more it rises to resist the pressure. The more we are obliged to do, the more we are able to accomphish.-T. Edwards. It is better to sacrifice one's love of sarcasm than to indulge it at the ex- , pense of a friend.-Chillon
 We often console ourselves for be- ing unhappy by certain pleasure that we find in appearing so.-De Bar thelemy.
 A beautiful woman pleases the eye, a good woman pleases the heart, one is a jewel, the other treasure.-Napo- leon I.
 Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. | r,bo ,,,oro b,,c;,oee n ,,,ov, hoe %o lo @l, n more he is able to accomplish, for he learns to economize his time.-Sidney Smith.
 It is very pleasant to follow one's in- clinations: but unfortunately, we can- not follow them all; they are like the teeth sown by Cadmus-they spring up, get in each others way, and fight. -Landor.

remarking: ''Therc is something here that seems to strike the right spot" and, although wealthy man, obtained permission to work in the factory. At the end of month he had gained thirty pounds, had greatly improved in appearance and feeling, his appetite had returned, his cough was gone, and finally he completely recovered. Singers also sometimes resort to cod liver oil factories to inhale the fumes arising from the vats. They assert that their voices are thereby strength ened and cleared.

scheme the mind of mortal man ever conceived, and plausible enough to deceive better and sharper men than either you or I. So say, Tom, you are under the care of special provi- dence, and you must be singled out for some great work in life."
 Bob's theory began to make some impression on my mind, but something happened afterward that clinched my belief. I called on Nell that night, for would you believe it?-I hadn't seen the dear girl for forty-eight hours, and it seemed as many years-when, after we had given testimony to the stability of our joint and separate affec- tions, which didn't take more than forty minutes, Nell remarked in the most artless manner.
 "Tom, I had such funny thing come into my head last night that I must tell you of it. It was about 8.30, and couldn't for the life of me keep my mind from running on the vault in your bank, and don't you think I even got to imagining that l could work the combination. Why, the fig ures came into my mind so distinctly that I jotted them down on 8 piece of paper, and here they are. Of course, they don't amount to anything, but l thought would show them to you"
 glanced at the figures she had noted down, and almost gasped as recog- nized the exact combination What had gone straight out of my mind had gone straight into hers, where it was in safe keeping. I made Nell occupy the same chair with me, and then told her the whole story.
 "You are indeed my guardian an- gel," said I, ''for you have guarded in mysterious manner not only my po- sition, but my honor, which, next to you, value above life itself."
 Then I kissed her and we took a walk under the silent stars.-Omaha World.

A Whif of Lavender.

Lavender, the favorite perfume of our grandmothers, has again come into favor. The lavender is put into little bags of canbric or silk, and placed between the sheets and table-cloths, as we'll as in the drawers where under wear is kept. Some women prefer rose or violet perfumes, and make long mats of thin silk or cotton, fitted to the size of a drawer or trunk-tray, sprinkle them we'll with satchet-pow- der, cover with another piece of the silk and "tuft' it with embroidery silk. Sometimes these bags are made of cheese-cloth, which are less costly and answer the purpose equally well. They retain their perfume for year or more, and if kept in the bottom of Q trunk or drawer will perfume the entire contents.

Care of the Eyes.

Sit erect in your chair when reading and never attempt to read by a flicker ing light. No one should read in bed or in a railway carriage. When you come to an age that suggests the wearing of spectacles, let no false modesty prevent you from getting a pair. If you have only one eye, an eyeglass will do; otherwise it is folly. Go to the wisest and best optician you know of, and state your wants and your case plainly, and be assured you will be properly fitted. Remember that bad spectacles are most injurious to the eyes, and that good and we'll chosen ones are decided luxury.

The Sacred Bird of Siam.

"Ha, ha, ha! Why don't you get a chair to sit down on?"
 The voice was rather loud, but not disagreeable, and the tone somewhat muffied, as of 8 person half choking with laughter.
 The salutation came to the news gatherer as he was on his daily per- ambulations about the city, and was traced to handsome blue black bird in a cage hanging under the shade of fig tree at the residence of Dr. Gill dea, on Sixteenth street, near H. As the reporter approached nearer he was received with more laughter and inquiries as to whether he came to see the ''Mino," if his health was good, etc.
 A few inquiries directed to pleas ant-faced lady near by elicited the in- formation that the bird was the sacred Mino of Siam, which as a nestling had been smuggled from the temple where it was bred by rowing sea Captain and sold to MT. Gildea at Honolulu some eight years ago.
 Minnie, as she is called, is about half the size of crow and nearly as black. In the sunlight the feathers take a blue and green tinge and there is a spot of white upon each wing and a necklace of bright yellow above the throat.
 The bill, which is large and strong, tapers to sharp point, and is orange 'hued near the head and lemon colored at the tip.
 The prominent eyes are dark and bright, the feet and legs lemon colored.
 The bird is valued at $25O.-San Diegan,

BEFORE THE GLASS.

Damsel fair, in the mirror peering,
 What Is it you see reflected therer
 A pretty face? That grant, ma chere; With sweet red lips, just triae sneering. Whither now in your life-bark steering,
 And what is it brings that look of care! Damsel fair, in the mirror peering,
 What is it you see reflected there? Iris that your face requires yeneering:
 You're seven-and-thirty, am aware,
 But do not, pray you, for that despair. You may succeed yet by persevering, Damsel fair, in the mirror peering.

THE LESSON OF THE VINES.

The green Madeira vines streteh'd up aloft Like fairy ladders to the sheltering caves And bore their wealth of snowy bloom beyond My utmost reach above the shim'ring leaves. Dewy-fresh, the silken leaflets gfstened, Iwateh'd them waving in the breeze's play, When suddenly, wee child standing near me Cried; ''Ah! what useless vines these are,

 Only giving back these leaves that hutter, With not a bit of fruit or pretty flowers p "No, tiny critic, you mistake" said. "'Tis that you look not high enough to see Ton fringe of creamy blossoms hung About the caves to tempt the wandring bee. You Judge the judgment of the world that
 sees
 Only the stems and leaves of human life Nor dreams how many seeming barren souls Bloom beyond its ken above earth's dust

Town and Country.

The case of little visitor to the country, who rather missed the con- veniences of the city, is cited as show ing that the seasons outing is not al ways considered an unmixed blessing by those enjoying the same. This little one had taken her first walk on the country road with her mother, and on her return to the hotel, being asked how she liked the place, said very de. cidedly, sDon't like it, 'cause there's no hoss cars. I like ridin' in hoss cars better'n walking ."-Boston Budget.

The Spouting of Whales.

Whales do not spout water. They spout vapor or breath. When a whale spouts his "spout hole," as whalers call it, is always above water. The enormous volume of the whales breath, expelled suddenly into the diff ferent temperature of the air, causes the white, bush-like vapor to remain suspended for a moment like the steam from a locomotive. The only time whale spouts liquid is when he has been mortally pierced by . lance, and then he spouts warm blood.

The Ingenuity of Opium Smugglers.

The inventiveness of opium snug glers has been seriously strained of late, and the result has been some nov el plans for securing the safety of the drug. One of the most ingenious was the packing of sham bed-plates of steamers engine with boxes of opi- um. The trick was discovered by the too liberal use of false bolts, 50 that the smugglers will now have to cast about for some other hiding place for the costly and contraband article.-SaD Francisco Chronicle.

A PODular Mistake.

One cold day in winter, a lady, ac- companied by her little boy, was mak- ing friendly call upon medical man and on entering the warm drawing room told her son-as mothers would, from having been similarly admonished when children-to take off his over coat or he would not feel the benefit of it when he went out again. "Ex- cuse me-" interposed her host; ''but that is mistaken idea. Let the little fellow keep it on and get all the warmth he can into his body; for if he starts off with good stock of warmth he will remain warm." We are not prepared to offer an opinion one way or another on this point, but can affirm that ever since that visit the doctors advice has been followed in that fam fly with the best results.

A Hundred Glasses of Beer 8 Day

There is vast deal of lager made in Hudson County, N. Y., but there is also vast quantity drank there, so there isn't much exported by the brew cries of the county in which the Dem- ocratic majority in the State of New Jersey floats on sea of liquor. Up in Union Hill there is Dutchman who drinks just double the quantity con- stunned by the biggest drinker in New York. The latter puts down fifty glasses in a day, but "Hans" gets away with just a hundred glasses daily, or precisely keg. Hans is so busy swallowing that he hasn't time to tell the balance of his name.

He Had Enough of It.

An English canon of note used to tell good story of himself. In his capacity of magistrate he was once visiting the county jail, and expati- ated to friend who was with him on the virtues of the treadmill. Warm ing with his theme, he declared that he often wished he had one at home to give him the gentle exercise he re- quired, but was too lazy to take, ex. cept under compulsion; and, to remove his friends scepticism, he asked the warden to give him turn. Round went the mill, the canon declaring that the movement was delightful, but after two minutes of it he had had quite enough, and called on the warder to stop the mill. To his honor the warden answered, "Very sorry, sir, I can't; it's timed to go fifteen minutes, and won't stop before."

What OtherS Gsv,

Mir. E. Williams, the New Jersey hor- ticulturist, is quoted as ranking the Wag- ner among the best of winter apples for quality.
 Mir. o. H. Alexander, Charlotte, Vt, claiIns the name Ben Harrison" for a new seeding potato which he considers of great promise.
 Professor haynard, of the Massachu- setts Agricultural college, pronounces the Hayes a hardy grape. Its fruit is of good quality. ripening early.
 "There is nothing like heat for milk making in winter, and with ensilage for food there is no reason why the supply of milk should be any less in cold than in warm weather says American Dairy man.
 Professor ". A. Henry states that there is an urgent demand for some succulent food for hogs in winter, as we now have only concentrated grain feed with which to supply them, and this is not wholly satisfactory for growing animals.
 Il would state as a result of my ex- perience," says L. T. Hagen, that silo should not be opened until the contents have gone through the heating process turely the contents will sour very rap idly"
 American Agriculturist says: "If the hogs to be slaughtered are fed within twelve hours of their killing the food is wasted. the meat will be more disposed to sour, and it will be more difficult to remove the distended intestines and take from them the lard"
