Soon after Prince Bismarck departed the

Crowds lined the route from the chancel-
lor's palace to the reichstag to-day. The
carriage in which Prince Bismarck was
seated was constantly blocked in its prog
ress by surging mass of enthusiastic
people, and at one time was nearly over
turned.
An immense crowd waited at the doors of
the reichstag in the hope of gaining en-
trance. Ten times the number of avail
able tickets were applied for. During
the debate Prince Bismarck became ex-
cited. At times he paced up and down
the tribune, waiting impatiently for the
conclusion of his opponents remarks to
reply. He constantly took notes. He
looked well and spoke with a strong voice.
Uuon entering and leaving the Reichstag
he was loudly cheered. He wore a heavy
Russian cloak, the weather being intensely

terry. 1t is also productive, especially
when the services are conducted in the
house of deceased, of an amount of con.
fusion and jostling which must disa
greeably affect all persons who love tc
see things done decently and in order.
1t is, moreover, II fresh torture to the
bereaved ones, who are expected to
lead of in the sad procession, to look
on the white face and pulseless form.
Some, not satisfied with n view of the
face through the glass OF the casket,
must see the uncovered features. Then
frequently ensues Il spectacle which
must send shudder through every in
telligent person. Imean the passionate
kissing of the lips of IA corpse by those
too young or too ignorant to know that
they are perhaps absorbing disease or
death. Funerals ought to be conducted
with solemn brevity. A tender hymn
or two, prayer by the officiating
clergyman, and brief talk pertinent

if a person of approved Christian en-
perience, are sufficient. Of course, eX-
tracts from the Scriptures, if not too
lengthy, are always in good taste. The
burial service of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church can not, in my Judgment
be improved, unless it be in the slight
shortening of the long quotation from
First Corinthians, fifteenth chapter
The popular desire for short religious
services is making itself felt in the
funeral exercises more wisely than in
the unreasonable clamor for hurrying
up things on Sunday. la the latter
case, especially in the foresoon service,
seliishness is usually the prompter.
Nothing is so piggishly unreasonable
as hungry human being. But in the
mortuary services the motive is good
one TO take the bereaved rs rapidly as
possible off the tenter-hooks OF affiic-
tion. No person of refined sensibilities
wishes to make II spectacle of his un-
spea1able agonies. Rev. j. IL. Fox, in

CELLULAR CLOTHING.
An Invention of Great Hygienic and Sci.
enttfic Value.

entifc Value.
The weaving of new kind of cloth
was recently begun in England. and Is
reported to be a satisfactory success.
the public demand for the novel fabric
being so great as to necessitate large
extension of the facilities for its manu-
facture. 1t is made out Of the same
material as the common cloth, but is
closely woven into cells, the network
of which is covered with thin "lutf."
Hence the term "cellular' has been
applied to the fabric and the clothing
into which it is made. The porous
ness of the new cloth permits a slow in
terchange of the air outside with that
next the skin. This gives time for the
air next the body to become of the
same temperature as the wearer, which
obviates the usual danger of catching
cold, while IL contributes to cleanliness
as well as health by allowing the free
escape of the vapors which are con-
stantly exhaled in the shape of insensi-
BILE perspiration.
A common and well founded objec-
tion to cotton clothing is that its use
facilitates the taking of chills and
colds. This is especially true in the
damp climate of the British Islands,
but it holds good to an important ex-
tent in the United States. This objec-
tion will disappear If the cellular pro-
cess be what it is claimed to be. The
peculiarly protective value of wool
simply lies in the fact that its fibers
are open and hold the air in the man.
ner above described. The action is
easily understood. Air, when per-
fectly still, is an exceedingly poor con-
ductor of heat. Scientifically speak
| ing, it is so at all times, but when it
moves to mingle with other masses of
air the temperature of the two is
speedily equalized. This simple fact
explains the cooling action of a strong
wind, the use of paper as protection
under the clothing, and the utility of
air spaces in the walls of buildings.
Heat passes with difficulty through air
that is confined, and it's ENHANCEMENT
in the fleece is the real secret of its
warmth to the sheep. If the fibers OF
cotton can be arranged artificially in
much the same way the action will be
equivalent, and it will thus become
equally valuable with wool as clothing
material.
The invention of cellular clothing is
thus strictly in accordance with hy-
gienic and scientific principles. 1t
promises to conduce to health and pro-
long the lives of the many thousands
who will prefer the product because it
is cheap, and be'able to enjoy the com
fort of clothing to larger extent than
now because woolen fabrics will neces~
sarily be cheapened by the increasing
competition of cotton goods. An ap-
parently little thing like this may per-
haps add vastly more to the real well
fare of the human race than do most OF
the much Wanted and loudly pro-
claimed discoveries which have made
some men famous and others rich in
the last half of the century.-Chicago

HONEST SAM WELLER.

Any Means an Original.

Dickens Most Popular Character Not by
Any Means an Original.
The ever popular Sam Weller, it has
been said, is not an original, and there
can be no doubt that there was pop
ular actor tempore Pickwick, named
Sam Vale, who performed one Simon
Splatterdash. All his speeches were
larded with the illustrations that the
Pickwickian servant was so partial to.
"Come on, as the man said to the right
boot" ETC., was specimen. The
similitude of the two names is curious.
Later Dickens was intimate with u
family of the name OF Weller, one OF
whom became the mother of Miss
Thompson, the artist The name is
particularly associated with Dor!sing,
where, it will be recollected, was Mr..
Weller. Sr.'s inn, THE Marks Of
CRANKY" On recent visit we noticed
the name of Weller on several houses,
as also that OF Sawyer. The town is
full of inns, and visitors are sure to
note those old, crusted, full-favored
hostelries, the white Horse" and the
Red Lion" with another opposite, all
three still claiming to be the one
figured in the story. But the Weller
inn is described as having its sign on
the opposite side of the road, which
proves it could not have been in the
main street, where there are houses on
both sides, and, indeed, it is plain that
Mr.. Weller's house had not the preten-
sions of the white Horse" or "Red
Lion" A few hundred yards out of
town, on the London road, there is
found a roadside inn, which our author
had probably in his eye. The scene
where Sam is writing his valentine un-
der the easy criticism of his father
suggests the well-lSnown one of The
Rivals, where Acres is writing his
challenge. Actors always introduce

study of this admirably drawn char

bilities. 1t was only after two or three
numbers progress that he had found
himself developing his happy varieties
of humor and illustration. which

Chair cushions OF perfecly plain
plush are much used. They may be
finished with heavy silk cord and tas-
sells at the corners or simply tied to the
chair at the four corners with wide

Hard water contains too much
limestone, and that causes bread baked
with it to soon dry out. II you use
soft water to mix the dough, you get
much better article OF bread, and one
that will retain its freshness.
An ingenious Virginia woman has
discovered that saturating the bag con-
tanning her seed beans with coal Oil
utterly exterminated the weevil inside
and out of the beans, but did not harm
the seed in the least. Probably the
same treatment would serve with in
fected peas.
AS to the quantity of food to be fed
we can not lay down rule. Ii the
swine are in the fattening stage they
should have all they will eat up clean.
If they are growing animals they should
have enough to keep them steadily
growing. In no event should they be
overfed.
DO not wash cruet bottles or de-
canters with shot as it is apt to chip
away small particles and leave the
surface scratched; grains of rice and
potato parings clean them very thor
oughly. They should be put in warm
water, shaken well and afterwards
carefully removed. A soft leather will
polish the outside.
Most every farmer is aware OF the
fact that sheep must be fat to make
the best mutton. but few conceive the
idea that a properly and well-fed sheep
produces more and better wool than
one poorly fed and cared for. Wool is
q product from feeding, just the same
as fat or flesh, and the flock should be
fed and managed with view to wool
growth, and that of fine qualify.

Exciting Scenes Attending an Expedition
In County Donegal
The evictions so long threatened on
the Olphert County DonegaD estate
were commenced ON Wednesday, and,
Judging by the spirit and indomitable
pluck brought to bear by our Northern
friends in their first contest with the
crowbar brigade, felonious landlordism
is hated as much in the North as in the
South, and the determination of the
people to fight for their homes just as

The forces of the Grown were engaged
for a considerable time in endeavoring
to evict a man named O'Donnell, who
offered most fierce resistance. Attack
after attack was made by the emer-
gency men on the house, but each on
slaught was vigorously repulsed by
those inside. The agent of the estate,
seeing how miserably his mihions had
failed to enter the house, appealed to
Mr.. Bourlse, r. NJ, who at once placed
a file of rifles in front of the building
and not twenty feet from it, but not a
Bourke called upon O'Donnell to sur
render possession of his holding, where
upon the tenant replied that he would
do so if he got what he asked under
the plan of campaign. The police were
then ordered up, proceeding against
which Father McFadden protested.
The emergency men. protected by the
police, made another determined at
tack, and succeeded in placing ladder
against the wall. Sergeant McColumb
at once mounted it, followed by Dis
trict Inspector Sheppard and number
of men with fixed bayonets, while seven
emergency men threw stones with a
will at the window to drive back those
inside. In their anxiety, however, they
proved bad shots, and the police were
severely stoned. The constables on the
ladder thrust their bayonets toward
the window and pressed rapidly up
wards. McColumb having got his head
on a level with the window, fork was
thrust at him, and one of the prongs
entered his lower lip. A blow of a
stone moment later dropped him to
the ground. The contest continued
fiercely, emergency men and police be-
ing driven back at all points, with the
result that the crowbar brigade took to
flight, leaving the brave peasants
master of the situation. After a lapse
of two hours another attack was made.

TOMATOES IN ENGLAND.
The Recent Adoption of That Vegetable
In the Land of John Bull

la the Land of John Bull.
American readers, accustomed to see
tomatoes in some shape on the table
nearly every day of the year, will
scarcely appreciate how nearly that
familiar vegetable comes to being a
rare delicacy in England. We quote
the following from the London Tattler
of u recent date: .Ten years ago it
was an exception to find this delight
ful fruit on the tables of any but the
wealthy; but to-day they are to be
found in most houses during the sea-
son, extensive cultivation having
brought down the prices so as to make
them come within the reach of all.
The tomato. or love apple as it was
formerly called, originally came from
South America, but it was not until the
climate of the United States was found
to be eminently adapted to theirgrowth
that they came into general use, the
taste for the same spreading to Europe.
1t 10, in addition to its valuable hy-
genie qualities, one of the most profit
able fruits to cultivate and we know OF

less than one ton to market daily in
the early season, the price paid for the
same averaging cd per pound, all OF
them being grown under glass. Few

find just how many children were thus
being kept from school, the schoo.
authorities got two monkeys dressed
them gayly, put them in wagon in
which was brass band, and started
through the district At once crowds
of children appeared and followed the

among the children distributing candies
and getting their names and addresses
