a Case of Blind Luck.

From the Baltimore News.

So" This remark was made by a man we'll
known about town.
mot that have had any great luck myself.
On, no! But have known other men whose
lives have been one series OF fortunate ex-
periences. l do not mean that they are lucky
in the matter of races, lotteries &C., but rather
In the little things OF life. To illustrate what
l mean will take the case of brother of
mine, who seems to me to be pursued by good
fortune in whatever he undertakes. 70 begin
with, he took notion to- enter the navy. No
sooner did he form the desire than he received
an appointment to Annapolis. He was regarded
rather dull at his books, and there was some
doubt about his passing the examinations but
these doubts might as well have been laid
aside for he went through the ordeal with fly
ing colors. He graduated and started on a
three years cruise around the world Instead
of staying three years on board ship. which
would have been monotonous, his vessel re-
turned in eighteen months, not a single acct
dent having taken place during the cruise.
Soon after this he was, for the time being, laid
on the shelf. suppose you would not call that
luck. But first let me inform you that he re-
ceived $50 month from the government for
simply loafng. Then almost imme diately he
secured an engagement at some outside work
which paid him handsomely, and required no
special ability on his part to perform. Well,
he was ultimately returned to the navy, and
after. little time was transferred to the
United States steamer Boston. Recently he
was granted leave of absence and sent
from New York to Baltimore While on
his way the train met with two accidents, and,
although a majority of the passengers were
hurt he escaped without scratch. Just be-
fore the great cyclone at Pittsburg my brother
went to that city. Was he caught in the biz
card? Not he. He left just few hours before
the terrible disaster. This is only small part
-l..k 4 All A.
He goes into danger, and while others suffer
he comes out SAFE. While other men strain
every nerve to accomplish their ends he simply
waits and his ends are accomplished for him.
You have often read OF people who meet with
one accident after another He is lust the op
posite. Good fortune attends him in every-
thing, and without any particular effort ON his
part. It's blind luck, tell you"

AnecdOte of a Russian Belle.

Blakely Hall in Pittsburg Dispatch
II went down and found my host, who, in
Paris was, as have said, the most correct and
proper of men, sitting at the breakfast table in
dressing gown that was absolutely the dirtiest
and most repulsive thing had ever seen. His
wife was presiding over tea urn. and we had
got about half through the breakfast when his
daughter, girl of about nineteen years, came
bouncing in. She stopped when she was about
half way across the room-and what do you
think she did? There is no good telling you
for you would not believe it and you would GER
tainly be very much shocked"
Il think very likely 1 can stand it."
''Well, it is not nice thing to say, and GER
tainly it is an unpleasant thing TO repeat, but
the incident goes to illustrate what have Just
said that If novelists and writers would tell
the exact facts about people they pretended to
describe they could convey real idea of the
existing condition of things Yet no writer
would tell the incident that 1 am about to re-
late to you. and doubt whether either you or
l would dare to put it in book
asked him what he referred to, and he said
slowly:
well, you must remember in the first place
that this was young lady that moved in re-
spectacle, middle class society in St. Peters
burg, whose father was an official in the cars
palace and man of position and learning, and
who was herself young person of many at
fractions. She was pretty, spoke French, Ger
man and little English, beside her native
tongue, was an admirable musician. and Jolly
sort of a girl generally. She walked half way
across the floor that morning at breakfast, and
then stopped and deliberately spat on the car
pet.
Her mother reproved her by asking her why
she did not go to the hearth, and the young
lady replied that it was too far off, Then was
presented to her and she sat down to break
fast. Image such thing in the house of an
English. American, French or German gentle
man! That little incident will give you a bet
ter idea of Russian life than any other l do
not mean to say, of course, that all Russian
women are like this. A few of the upper
classes, Russian princesses, countesses and SO
on are tremendously clever persons, but they
are not all so. There is a lack of breeding
among the women that is amazing"

Undressing Was Not Bathing,

From the Fargo Argus.
In 1868 President Lincoln sent force under
Gen. Henry II. Sibley punish the Indians for
their barbarities in Minnesota and Dakota, and
drive them back to the Rocky mountain plains
Among the many incidents Of the Sibley expe-
dition. says the Fargo Argus, against the Sioux
which are still afoat in Dakota is the following:
On the return the camps were usually made
on the banks of lake or river. and frequently,
when the men learned where the camp would
be some of them would rush forward and have
bath; this rolled up the water and made it
unit for camp purposes. This action so in
censed Gen. Sibley that he issued an order pro-
hibiting bathing until the officer of the day
should announce that water had been served for
camp purposes and the stock had been watered.
One night the camp had been made on the bank
of a small lake. Capt. Horace Austin was the
officer of the day, and he sent detail to the
lake in charge of Sergt. s. p. Childs, now of
Mankato. to see that the generals order was
obeyed. Childs saw man come down to the
lake, look at the water. step back behind bush
and walked to the edge of the water and dipped
his foot in it as if too see how cold it was when
Childs yelled "Haltr' What is the matter?''
asked the would-be bather. The sergeant Re-
piled the generals orders were that no bathing
should be allowed until the officer of the dag
had announced sufficient water had been Sc
cured. The man demonstrated and finally said
that if Childs knew the order he ought to have
informed him before he undressed. Yes"
said Childs, Il know it. but the order does not
prohibit disrobing" The man who wanted to
battle was Gen. Sibley himself, and Childs knew
it. but he didn't battle then.

Trade and Fashion.

London Correspondence Louisville Courier-Journal
Apropos of bOnnets, / am told that Lady Cor
don, who went in for millinery, has continued
to make a deal of money. She was the daughter
Of famous Dublin distiller, and so inherited a
bit of the mercantile instinct. When the Scotch
tenants didn't come to the fore promptly with
their rents my lady made up her mind that
she intended to have a well-filled purse. and so
she began to sell bonnets and hats. She had
the reputation Of dressing extremely well her
sell, and that was of worth in business VEN
ture; her bonnets were all imported from Paris
and her hats were all English round ones. She
positively refused to give credit and conse-
quently found her best customers among the
British middle class, who so dearly love lord
and who were charmed to pay out their gold
for bonnet they thought my lady's hand had
touched. Lady Gordon used her own name.
which was wise. When Lady Mackenzie went
into the millinery business she called herself
Mime. Something. and has, hardly think, been
as successful as her rival in trade. She goes in
for very smart tea gowns, in addition to bon
nets, and says, with smile: 1T is quite the
fashion nowaday to be in trade" Everybody

name at SO much n year and that it is promi-

Celery to Cure Rheumatism.


New discoveries-or what claim to be dis
coveries-of the healing virtue of plants are
continually being made. One of the latest is
that celery is a cure for rheumatism; indeed,
it is asserted that the disease is impossible if
the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The
fact that it is always put on the table raw pre-
vents its therapeutic powers from being known.
The celery should be cut into bits, boiled in
water until soft. and the water drank by the
patient. Put new milk, with little -four and
nutmeg. into a saucepan with the boiled celery
serve 1t warm with pieces of toast, eat it with
potatoes and the painful element will soon
yield. Such is the declaration of a physician
who has again and again tried the experiment
and with uniform success. He adds that cold
or damp never produces but simply develops
the disease, of which acid blood is the primary
and sustaining cause. and thatMhile the blood
is alkaline there can be neither rheumatism nor
govt.
Statistics show that m one year-1876-2,650
persons died of rheumatism in this country,
who, it is claimed, might have been cured or
prevented by the adoption of the remedy men,
toned At least two-thirds of the cases named
heart disease are ascribed to rheumatism and
its agonizing ally, govt. Smallpox, so much
dreaded, is not so destructive as rheumatism,
which, it is maintained by many physicians,
can be prevented by obeying natures laws in
diet But, II you have incurred it. boiled celery
is pronounced unhesitatingly to be specific.
The proper way to eat celery is to have it
cooked as a vegetable after the manner above
described. The writer makes constant use of
1t in this way. Try it once, and you would
sooner do without any vegetable, with the
single exception of the potato, rather than
celery. Cooked celery is delicious dish for
the table. and the most conducive to the health
of any vegetable that can be mentioned.

His Majesty of Japan.

FROM the FIGARO.
The emperor of Japan isrich. He is allowed
g, 100000 year for his household department.
and his private fortune is large and increasing
He thoroughly understands business matters
and keeps himself well informed as to his in
vestments. Some of these are in the public
lands and roads. and they are, of course, man.

board of ceremonies. a department which
takes care of the emperor's horses. and one
which has charge of the imperial sepulchres.
Itcontains a bureau of nine imperial physicians.
Prince Iwakura is grand master of the imperial
kitchen and the cooking.
His majesty is a very studious man. He rises
early and breakfasts at or s o'clock. He uses
the knife and fork in eating when he takes for
eign food, and he adopts the chopsticks at his
japanese dinners. He eats at a table and sits
upon chairs. He varies his meals, sometimes
taking foreign food and sometimes Japanese.
He is fond OF meats and has a well-trained jap
anese cook to serve them for him. II is not
customary for him to eat with the empress,
and he usually eats alone. After breakfast is
over he goes to his study. and at 9 o'clock he
receives such ministers of state as have mat
tiers to report to him. His audiences with them
OIten last until IL CLOCK. lie then returns to
his own room and takes his lunch. This usu-
ally consists of fish, meats, bread. and wines
He is good eater and likes good wine.
After lunch the emperor spends some time in
reading the newspapers and books All of the
leading japanese newspapers come to the pal
ace. and he watches closely the current of pub
lie opinion. Many of the newspapers are
marked, and in the case of the foreign papers
of Japan the more prominent articles are trans
lated for him. Articles in the New York, Lon
don, and Paris papers which have a bearing
upon Japan are also translated and handed to
him to read. and he is especially fond of the
illustrated foreign papers. After reading he
takes his exercise, and dinner comes in the
evening. Sometimes the empress dimes with
him, and at times the little prince who is the
heir to the throne has a seat at the table. Both
have, however, their separate establishments
The dinner Is served in table dbote style and
with all the European accomplishments.

An Army of Menials.

FROM Town Topics.
A great many people have been surprised,
when attending the Vanderbilt entertainments
during the past year or more, to notice the
marvellous number of servants in livery. After
the English fashion, this household army is
usually drawn up in line in the ball and the
guests pass into the drawing room with a line
of servants on either side. The question that
naturally arises is. what in the world does the
family do with this army of menials when they
have no social affair on hand and are not enter
tanning. As a simple matter of fact it may be
explained that these servants are not regular
Vanderbilt attaches. They are only taken on
when the occasion requires their services. In
the language of the tbeater, they are the
extra ballet" The iveries in which they ap-
pear are supplied them by the butler of the
house from an immense trunkful of such gar
ments which have been imported and are con-
stantly kept on hand. The buffers wardrobe
contains fifty or seventy-five such suits Of liv-
cry, so that no matter what the peculiarities of
size and shape among these hap-hazard domes-
tics may be it is a comparatively easy thing to
fit them out
