FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The London police are now ordered to wear India-rubber or noiseless boots at night always.
 The Russian language has been i'm posed upon all the inhabitants of the Baltic provinces of the empire.
 Umbrellas are being imported into India in great numbers. Last year 27O, 900 arrived in Calcutta alone.
 The Russian railway system at the beginning of 1888 aggregated 1S,314 miles, of which 3,7S7 miles belong to the government and 13,565 miles to private companies.
 There has been a marked decadence in the use of the French language at Montreal during the last ten years. Formerly it was the prevalent tongue, but now the English predominates.
 A naval officer who has been there tells that in a Roman Catholic church in Hayti there is picture of the crucifix- ion in which Christ is represented as a pure negro and the two thieves as white men, which goes to show that color is much a matter of taste and climate.- Philadelphia Record.
 In Italy women continue to pursue occupations which seem properly to be- long to the stronger sex. Women brick layers and women hod-carriers are em- ployed in all Italian cities. They dress wretchedly, go bare-footed and their fare is of the poorest. Their wages are twenty cents day.
 Italians are not very strong in domestic ties. Of 43,OOO Italians that landed in Castle Garden last year S4,OOO were males. The emigration of females from Italy is smaller than from any other country, averaging but 13 per cent. of the whole number who landed. From Germany the percentage is 40; from Ire land, 45.
 -''There are cattle in Belgium" says Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, in let ter to the American Garden, ''but you never see such thing as fence in the cultivated fields of that country, not even to mark the boundary lines, for the simple reason that the law of the land protects the farmer against invasion"
 -''Despite medical warnings" says German newspaper, marriages between blood relations continue to be quite ire quent in Germany. Of 1,549 marriages contracted in Prussia in 1887 between blood relations, 1, 423 occurred between cousins, III between uncles and nieces, and 16 between nephews and aunts-the proportion of these marriages being one to every 149 marriages recorded"

Country Roads.

College professors, civil engineers and magazine writers are directing public att tention to the subject of country high ways, and the Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, has gone so far as to provide for the free instruction in road en- gineering of one person from each coun- ty in that State. The Baltimore Sun, which is agitating the question in Mary land, points out that the power required to draw wagon weighing with it's load one ton on level macadamized road of broken stone is sixty-fve pounds, which is increased to two hundred pounds on common dirt road Prof. Ely, of Johns Hopkins University, estimates that poor roads cost the farmer on an average fifteen dollars per horse; and Prof. Jenks, of Knox College, Illinois, ar gues that with good, permanent roads freight could often be hauled ten miles on wagons cheaper than it could be taken one mile on dirt road to a rail road station, unloaded, put on the cars, freight paid, unloaded from the cars and carried to it's destination. Of the social influence of good roads he says that Large part of the mental in- spiration of the farmers depends on their ability to attend church, lect- ures, concerts and social gatherings at distance; and really good roads, by enabling them to go so much more easily, would doubtless raise the whole intellectual tone of the farming com munity, besides keeping within the healthful influence of the farm many who are now forced into the towns Philadelphia Record.

ICE-HOUSE.

rain, and it will prove very satisfactory. Our readers remember an article by one of our contributors some months ago, in which he related his experience in keep ing ice in an old barn. He first made cooling room in the center of the barn by standing up several heavy posts and mailing them in position with joists, and then he filled the structure around and over the cooling room.
 Handsome profits may often be de- rived by putting up a quantity of ice and selling it to some dealer or creamery in hot weather. Many are quietly mab- ing money by putting up large quan- tity of ice each winter in some cheap structure and using it to retard the fruit they raise and buy until prices have advanced. Apples and pears furnish an especial field for this depart ment of business. The low price of labor in winter is also an argument in favor of securing the ice crop.
 Where it is desirable to put money into retarding house one can be built on the following plan and perhaps some reader in building can improve upon this. The general principles, however, must be adhered to. Three things must be kept in mind: They are drainage, good ventilation above and protection from contact with the outside weather by number of dead-air spaces or heavily packed partition walls. In the left hand upper corner of the engraving the sawdust packing is shown by three lines which reach to it on top of the ice and on each side of a dead-air space. This building is arranged for storing apples, etc., and all the ice is to be taken in above the storage room.
 It is presumably built upon the side of lake or pond, and the ice is run up an incline by power when the ice cham Der is being filled. The floor of this structure is cement. Equally good floors can be made of cinders, coarse gravel, rammed clay or lime mortar.
 If the building is situated high enough the storage-room can be placed in the basement. In this case the structure need not be so high and the

AS ARNOLD SEES IT.

Sir Edwin's Impressions of America-CrIt- icism and Praise.
 "It is wonderful for a British Isl- ander to discover what mere step up- on your broad States thousand miles make," says Sir Edwin Arnold, land to conclude from what he sees what must be the life, the enterprise, the Opulence, the energy, the natural and industrial resources, the boundless future possibil- ities of the territory he has not seen. A feeling of gladness and confidence about the earthly part of mans develop ment beyond all expression has pos sesSed me in perceiving how strong and sound your national vitality is, how lit tie you are really spoiled in courtesy of manners, in civic kindness, in social grace and in reverence for law by your large liberties.
 "An Englishman, no doubt, notices here an absence of difference and formal attention, but he also notices the pres ence of a nearly universal and most manly and frank comradeship, the blos- som, perhaps of wider and healthier air. I am far from saying this to fiatter America. The impertinence of such an intention would be rebuked by it's ab- surdity. Your Nation of 6O,OOO, 900 stands well beyond the reach of compli- ments. History rather waits to see if you will deserve the gifts and opportu- mites which destiny has brought you in both her hands,
 'I should not be an Englishman, how ever, if I did not grumble, and you must allow me to denounce and execrate the cobblestones of your New York streets, that rob the Briton of sleep at night and rack his bones by day; the snake-fences, which waste alike land and lumber, and torture the eye of an artist; the lack of official luggage porters at your rail way stations, and those mysterious, ugly, unpainted telegraph poles, with which you mar the vistas of your finest streets. But your public buildings often astonish and enchant me; your colleges, libraries, museums and observatories leave positively no excuse to American youth. They must henceforth create and not import poets, authors, artists, sculptors, scientific geniuses and as- tronOmers. You really owe us, with all your glorious chances, a galaxy of great names. ."-N.

part of the great diplomat. The land lady of the house who owned the table obstinately refused to part with it for any consideration of money, so as last resort Bismarck called in a cabinet maker and ordered him to make an other table exactly similar. When the twins were put side by side the land lady, womanlike, decided in favor of the new and shiny table, and Bismarck triumphantly carried off the old one, If the Chancelor's study and bedroom is plain to severity, the guest rooms, situated on the first floor, are distin- guished by comfort, ease and luxury.
 It is happy home, as those who have been entertained there will testify. In it its owner forgets, so far as he can, all strife. The torch of h&te is put out. There is no thought of war, but instead there is feasting and music, the prattle of children's voices and an air of quiet and peace that bodes well for Germany. The silent man, the man of blood and iron. the man who has put the standard of statesmanship and diplomacy so high that his successor will have great diff culty in reaching it, the most hated and bost loved man in Europe, is nearing the end, disguise it as much as his friends will. What his thoughts are amid the scenes of revelry in which his children and his grandchildren take part no one can tell, for he has few confidantS, if any. If his life had been failure in every respect he would still be great, for he has taught one magnificent les son to statesmen, which is the value of silence.-N Y. Mail and Express.

BISMARCK'S HOME LIFE.
How the Chancelor's Home at Fried
 richsruhe is Furnished.


 There is scarcely any thing remark able in his house at Friedrichsruhe. It is absolutely plain. The furniture is of the simplest character. There are evil dences here and there of the hand-work of woman, but no great paintings deco rate the walls, and his library is filled with choice but inexpensive assort- ment of books. Portraits of his wife, his daughter and his sons, of Won Moltke, of Cardinal Hohenlohe, of Thiers, of BeacOnsfield, of Gladstone and of the three Emperors under whom he has served decorate his walls A recent visitor to Bismarcks home, in describ- ing the place, says that although some of the rooms contain much that is plain, others show evidences of luxury and of decidedly historic importance. In the drawing-room the floor is covered with a rich carpet; there are three fre-places here, where, as soon as the cold weather sets in, blazing logs light up the room and make it warm and cheerful. There is an abundance of cOuches, sometimes two or three in one room. The dining-room is severely plain. Its chief adornment is the bronze statue of the Emperor given by himself to Bismarck. There is bronze imita- tion of Neiderwald, which stands in a fine oak cupboard in the smokingroom. A leafiet is attached to it, with the fol- lowing words written in the Emperor's own hand: Christmas, 1883. The crowning stone of your policy. A fes- tival destined chiefly for you and which you unhappily was not able to attend. w." In Bismarck's study there is a small card table bearing brass plate, on which there is an English inscription to the effect that on the table the pre- liminary peace between Germany and France was signed at Versailles in 1871. When opened there appears the central round of green cloth with the very candle spots that were there when Bismarck and Favre put their names under the treaty. Bis marck often laughingly explains how he became possessed of this curiosity. It reouiFed some diplomacy even on the

WORK AND RECREATION.

| The Mind Requires Constant Change to Keep It in a Healthy Condition. During his later years Charles Oar win, though perhaps the greatest scien- tific investigator the world has yet pro duced, lost all his taste for art, for music, poetry and higher literature; and his only recreation, outside his scientific studies was the reading of sensational novels and the daily game of cribbage with his wife.
 If man uses one arm and carries the other in sling, the bandaged arm will soon become para9yzed. A man is usually bungling with his left hand, because he was taught in infancy to use his right. Some men are so silent and reserved that, in the course of time, they lose the power of general conversa- tion, a man forgets his mother-tongue by protracted stay in foreign country.
 Every part of the mind, like every part of the body, requires constant ex- ercise to keep it in the best condition. An unused faculty grows rusty like an unused room; a corner of the mind that is left empty becomes, in time, like an empty room, full of dust and cobwebs Charles Darwin lost all taste for poetry, art and music because the poetry, art and music departments of his mental emporium were allowed to lie empty and unused.
 Men who devote themselves exclu- Sively to one business or calling without recreation or diversion of any kind, are liable to become narrow and limited creatures. They dwindle into partial fractions of men. A man who is nothing but a merchant has not enough substance left to become much of man. He who is merely a lawyer suffers from partial intellectual paralysis. What shall it profit man to become king of the commercial and professional world and lose the better part of his own soul?
 The reason so many men stop growing at thirty is because they do the same thing over and over every day. And so men become like eagles with broken wings, and founder about in the under brush of business routine, never soaring out into the sunshine of intellectual free dom, as it was intended they should.
 The moral of all this is that man should not confne himself so closely to one thing that he paralyzes his general faculties How many housewives de- generate into mere dish-washing autom- atoms, simply because they devote themselves (unselfishly and heroically, to be sure) exclusively to their house. hold duties.

Tor Forty-Two Years She Successfully
 Acted the Part of a Man.
 The Dundee Weekly News gives the following interesting account of the TO- mantle life of woman arrested by the Jersey Channel Islands) police: 'On the arrival of a passenger steamer from St. Briene the commander informed the police that woman attired as a man was on board. She had, it appeared, taken passage for St. Briene, but the captain, having noticed certain pecul- iarities about the passenger, on reach ing that port summoned medical man, and he declared that the pseudo man was really Q woman. He further certi- fled that she was suffering from slight concussion of the brain, and the French authorities, in view of her mysterious conduct, refused to allow her to land. On the steamer entering the harbor of St. Heller the woman took a cab and proceeded to a clearinghouse where she had previously lodged for some time under the name of Louis Her. mann. She had every appear ance of manhood, and from her easy department it is evil dent that male attire was no novelty to her. She wore fur waist coat, long overcoat, a hat, and a turned-down collar. She smokes a long pipe or a cigar with an air of one accus- toned to the habit. Left an orphan at the ago of thirteen, she then resolved to adopt male attire. She has now reached the age of fifty-five, so that forty-two years she has been travelling the world, and has been known as a man. Her calling has been that of a courier, and in that capacity she has travelled wide ly. She has. a knowledge of several continental languages, and is otherwise well informed. The name by which she was generally known was Louis Her. mann Tobosh, but in some cases she dropped the last name, and simply called herself Louis Hermann. During the last year she had balance of up- ward of 15O pounds to her credit in a banking firm, but it is not known whether this has been drawn upon. When arrested by the Jersey police at the boarding-house she had only a1 shillings in her possession, and she is indebted to the host to the extent of e3 10 shillings. A number of papers found at her lodgings have been taker possession of by the police.

POPULAR FALLAClES.
Mistaken Notions That Prevail in All
 Classes of Society.

It is mistake to labor when you are not in fit condition to do so. To think the more person eats the healthier and stronger he will become. To go to bed late at night and rise at daybreak, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. To imagine that if little work or exercise is good, violent or prolonged exercise is better. To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in. To eat as if you had only a minute to finish the meal in, or to eat without an appetite, or to continue after it has been satisfied, merely to gratify the taste. To believe that children can do as much work as grown people, and that the more hours they study the more they learn. To imagine that whatever remedy causes one to feel immediately better (as alcoholic stimulantS) is gooC for the system without regard to the after effects. To take off proper cloth ing out of season because you have be- come heated. To sleep exposed to di rect draught in any season. To think any nostrum or patent medicine is 3 specific for all diseases flesh is heir to- AmeTi Analyst.

CEYLON TURTLES.
The Shells of the Large Ones Used as Seats

The Shells of the Large Ones Used as Seats
 by the Natives.
 The correspondent of Ceylon jour nal describes the turtles on the coast in the neighborhood of Jaffna, in the north of the island, as being innumerable. They are of three species, called sea, milk and pariah turtles respectively. The ordinary or sea turtle is generally large in size, and is met everywhere at sea around Jaffna. Two tiny islands, called Iranativu, are literally swarming with them. The islands themselves are sterile and always exposed to inunda- tion; the inhabitants are poor and igno- rant of agriculture, and live chiefly on the turtles. They use the shells of the large ones as seats. In the town of Jaffna the ordinary turtle is always pro- curable, and it is favorite article of food with the people. During Lent, when meat is forbidden, it is largely used by the Roman Catholics of the place, and the fishermen do a good business in it. The milk turtle is small in size, and is to be found only in wells and banks. It is not an article of food, except with the poorer classes. The pariah turtle is curiously shaped, having high back, the shell of which some what resembles that of the tortoise It is found in marshes and ditcheS. It is not an article of food, but is highly val ued by native medical men for certain medicinal proprieties which it is said to pressess. Its flesh and blood are sup posed to be panacea for ailments pc culiar to children.-London Times.

What Cheese Makers Want.

The aim of the cheese maker should be to get out of 100 pounds of average milk 319 pounds of fat, 315 pounds of caSein, a small amount of mine ral mat ter, fraction of the sugar to be trans formed into tactic acid and keep the curd in granular ondition-Otherwise 1t will be waxy and stringy-and about 37a pounds of water. The rest of the sugar, and nearly all of the albumen, which the rennet does not coagulate, will run off with the whey. This albumen is about all there is left in the whey that is of any value to feed. The sugar is good for nothing unless the whey is fed while 1t ia sweet. The cheese maker saves little over pounds of the solids, and retains about 314 pounds of water, so that when cured and portion of the water has dried out he las 10 pounds of cheese, composed of 16 water, 76 fat and 1S caseou5 and mineral matter. Rich milk may do better, and poor milk worse. If the cheese sells for cents pound, it means 70 cents gross for 10G pounds of milk. Out of this dairy mall must pay the cost of making and marketing and make pp any loss,-or enge Jedd Farmer.

cost will be lessened. It is the practice in some localities to place shallow tins or shelves with slight side pieces on their edges in tiers through the storage room. Space should be left under such bins for cats to drive out or destroy all vermin. This is good season of the year to construct such building, and any farmer who provides himself with this convenience will never regret it; on the contrary, he will feel amply repaid for any time and money he may have laid out.-Farm and Home.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
 Home Treatment.
 Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be fact, and the result of this discovery is that simple remedy has been formulated whereby Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
 N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph- let explaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of three cents in stamps to pay postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, cor. of John and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris- tidn AdU0cdte.

Some of Its Advantages.
 Regret in summer, which is indulged tn by too many because no ice was packed in winter, can be avoided by making an ice-house in time. In the North, where ice can be procured so easily, it is extravagant not to pack it for summer use and profit. Especially is this true when it is remembered how cheaply ice can be kept, and that it re- quires no special building. Any kind of shed or other building with good drain age will keep ice if it be filled and prop erly covered with material to keep out the air. Sometimes an old cellar where house was located may be partly filled and covered with slabs to keep out the
