engagement or Mr.. Scanlon's engagement in
Dublin the Freendn's Journal OF that CITY said
in May last: "His acting showed capacity FAR
and away beyond that of any Irish comedian
who for many years has appeared IN Dublin.
His alterations between native shrewdness
and pathos are thoroughly Hibernian, and it is
perfectIy obvious that he has made nature his
guide and model. He Is humorous without
any trace of vulgarity or coarseness, and his
acting is by no means the less attractive from
the fact that it is unobtrusive and unpreten-
tious. His brogue is we'll nigh perfect-and
that is saving great deal for one not to the
manner born-and the best of it is that it seems
to come just as naturally as did even Bouci-
caults."

Advertising for Cheap Engineers.

Day after day the public are informed OF dis
asters and accidents, of destruction OF LIE and
property the result of boiler explosions. Inc
cause of nearly all these accidents is known.
Defects certainly exist in many boilers, ana
thew are expected to occur more or less, but
boilers should be in charge of men who can
detect defects. The persistency Of steam users
in employing incompetent men to look after
boilers and machinery. in the face OF almost
daily calamities is something unaccounsssgy "a ,.s
strange and marvellous, not to speak OF It's
cuipability The ignorance of some men put
in charge of steam machinery is simply aston
ishing. And yet advertising for cheap engi-
fagrant irresponsibility should be checked.

APromoter of Diphtheria.

The medical profession has begun to regard
seriously the theory recently promulgated
that the smoke of burning kerosine oil has
much to do with the causation Of diphtheria
and Its malignancy. 1t appears that In every
case of diphtheria it was found that oil was
used either in the parlor lamp or kitchen light
Gases did not occur where gas alone was used.
MANY of the health boards in the East nave
lately expressed their opinion that the terrlD,e
enidemics experienced of late were due NANNY
to the increased use of this oil. Putrid sore
throat and diphtheria have always been more
fatal in the Pennsylvania oil region than In
any other portion Of the country.

A New sream Lifeboat.

Among the latest life-saving devices appears
a lifeboat with machinery for hydraulic pr
pulsion. The hull is built of steel, and stroriP
iv braced, and the total weight Of the boat
when completed and ready for service will not
exceed 20 TONS The boiler is calculated to
carry avery heavy pressure. In the design Of
the boat the greatest pains have been taken TO
sscnre strength, safety and lightness, and speed
has not been obtained at the cost OF these

The oIxare,rs Doomed.

Observation IN public places gives satisfac.
tory evidence that the of cigarettes is rap
idly on the decline. Whether this Is due to the

warning from their own experience and the
unanimous condemnation Of smoking cigar
cites by the medical profession, or whether "a. me

RETURN OF THE SUMMER GIRLS.

The summer girls are eocking home
From seaside and from mountain,
From evenings whisper-laden gloam
And love song-tinkling fountain.

The red of summer roses;

And graceful are their poses.
Can girls be loveller than these2
Can hope in such hearts smoider?
All, time flies e en- for girls at ease
They're welded not and older.

daylight and electric light in succession The
electric light was applied for six hours esen
eyening-from to 11-and the plants were tnen
left in darkness during the remainder Oh the

posed to the electric light only or to day1gnt
only throve about equally, and those exposed
to both day and electric light throye far petter
than either.
