THE GERMAN DOMESTIC.
She Wears No Bangs, But She Does the
Work of Two Men.

The German servant girl has no bangs
nor bangles, nor fur-lined coats, nor
four-buttoned kid gloves. She is square
shouldered, heavy-featured and large
limbed. She is neither clean, quick,
nor intelligent, but she can work. She
has the strength of an OK, and is always
willing to use it. Most servant girls in
German cities are peasants. Daughters
of the poor town-bred families usually
become factory hands, shop girls or
Mattresses.
The conservative peasants, however,
with their old prejudices in favor of
every thing feudal, prefer domestic
services for their children to any en-
ployment AS soon as the peasants
daughter is fourteen or fifteen years old
she learns how to split wood, hoe pota-
toes and plant cabbages. She milks the
cow before breakfast, bitches her to the
pillow after breakfast, and often turns
burrows all the morning under the direc-
ton of her father, who, in the mean
while, smokes a pipe and rests. She
mows hay and digs water trenches.
During the harvest she carries great
basketfuls of vegetables from the fields
to the barn on her back. When her
younger sister becomes old enough to
help her parents to work the little farm,
however, the eldest daughter loses her
grip on her fathers heart. She is re-
garded by him as an incumbrance, for
nothing is more useless in the eyes of
German peasant than grown daughter
who does not earn her living. There
fore, if no Hans or Fritz wishes her to
be his helpmate in raising cabbages and
potatoes, she must go into domestic
service in the city.
Like almost all novices in an occupa-
ton on the continent she serves an APP
premiership. For several months she re-
ceiyes no wages, nor does she deserve
any, for her stupidity is phenomenal.
She has never walked on carpet be-
fore, and doesn't know napkin from
dishcloth, or coal-bucket from ket-
tie. She blacks the Heirs patent
leather shoes and oils his rubber boots.
She puts the table-cloth on the floor and
the rug on the table. In fact, she is as
strange to most of the furniture and
customs in comfortable house as
Persian or Indian. She learns slowly
and laboriously, but she never forgeta,

BRAZIL'S SENATORS,
Statesmen Who Hold Office for Life and
Die in Their Places.

statesmen VINO HOIu once Tor Life and
Die in Their Places.
"The Senate of the United States
PRESENTS remarkable contrast with that
of Brazil" said an attache of South
American legation to Washington Post
reporter, as he eyed critically the vari-
Gus Senators from the gallery. Il have
heard a great many remarks bordering
on reflections about the sleepy pro-
ceedings of the Senate, but to have that
adjective applied appropriately and lit
orally it should be transferred to the
Brazilian Senate. The cause of this
fact is one which has been instrumental
in bringing about the revolution. In
Brazil Senators hold Office for life, and
take so-called active part in the legis-
lation of the country so long as they can
be carried to the Senate chamber and
sit up.
ga view of the Brazilian Senate re-
minds one of hospital for the infirm
and aged, with here and there a man of
some bodily vigor thrown in. AS rule
at least third of tho Senators are so
old that they fall asleep after sitting in
the Senate Chamber for half an hour,
and even on important occasions of de-
bates it is impossible to keep them
awake long enough to hear the argu-
ments of the younger men, they never
attempting any thing like an address
themselves. 1 remember on one occa-
sion counting thirteen of these aged
legislators sitting in their chairs asleep
while one of the ablest debaters was
addressing the body. Toothless, eyes
bleared, and the picture of corpses, many
of them, they make woful group.
There are, of course, younger and ADLER
men in the body who do the real work of
enacting legislation.
Zone of the points on which the peo-
pie of Brazil lay stress is that some COM
petitive system be adopted by which
live men will control the interests of the
country, and term of Office of four or
six years will not allow the present con-
dition of affairs there to be continued.
One of the first things l anticipate hear
ing of the reorganization of the Brazil
ian government is change to correct
this evil"

felt strong waters? On this suggestion
a Scottish contemporary remarks: The
liquor trade in many parts of Africa is
the chief trade. 1t is dishonest to the
root. 1t pretends to be trade in cor
dials; but nine-tenths of it is, to the
knowledge of those who flourish on it,
the sale and distribution of poisons. On
the Cape coast superior GIN is sold at
five cents per pint bottle, while splendid
rum" is invoiced at eighteen cents
gallon! Two hundred miles of the
West coast of Africa consume TWEEN
ty thousand tuns of spirits a year,
say, twenty ships of thousand tons
each; and the whole of this traffic is
conducted in the main by not over half
dozen firms, the members of which
profess themselves Christians! On the
Kree coast, says Mr.. Joseph Thomson,
may be seen a Hades peopled by
brutalized human beings whose punish
ment seems to be never-ending thirst
for drink. From the moment the tray
eler leaves Liverpool, according to the
same authority, he finds himself in an
atmosphere of poisonous spirits. st
pervades every corner of the vessel in
which he takes passage. He sees the
gin and rum disgorged from its capaci-
GUS holds at port after port, and he will
almost look in vain for bale of Man
chester cotton" A certain Glasgow
firm used to employ large number of
looms weaving cloth for an African
market; now it has not one. A trader
on the Calabar river wrote recently to
his principals to send no more cloth
drink was the only article in demand.
In the Niger regions the natives traffic
almost for drink alone, and in one
Portuguese opium factory on the
Zambesi the workpeopie are paid in
spirits. Even from the merely COM
mercial point Of view it is imperative
that this murderous drink traffic should
be extinguished. 1t is draining Africa of
all industrial energy and poisoning en-
tire populations.-United Presby terrain.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1890-02-08

A so-called moderate drlnker was
once very angry with a friend who
claimed that safety was alone in totally
abstaining from the use of ardent
spirits, and who insinuated that the
moderate drinker himself might be be-
yond control. ITO make plain the ques-

man, will you just quit one month
not to touch a drop during that time?"
Said the other: ITO satisfy your
mind, sir, 1 will, with pleasure,
though l know myself. l will
do as you ask, to cure overweight
ideas" He kept the promise, but at
the end of the month he came to
his friend with tears in his eyes and
thanked him for saving him from
drunkard's grave. Said he: II never
knew that was in any sense slave
to drink, but the last month has been
the fercest battle of my life. l see

How to Dispose of Sewer Gas.

A plan for disposing of sewer-gas pro-

Penn, of Greenwich, England, has come
up again for serious consideration. The
scheme is simple, and as experiment has
shown, effective. Chambers journal
describes the method as consisting in
causing ordinary street lamps to be
made air-tight, except an opening below
leading into the sewer or drain. and a

THE SAvIoUR'S TUNIc.
Remarkable Ceremony Observed in q
French Parish Church.

French Parish Church.
Six years ago this Whit-Monday l was
resent at a religious ceremony of the
smost remarkable character, which is
celebrated every year in the little
Parrish church of Argenteuil, small
town upon the banks of the Seine, Just
outside of Paris. Fer ten days every
year, from Ascension Day to Whit
Monday, casket containing one of the
supposed fragments of the robe or tunic
worn by our Lord at the time of his
crucifixion is carried in procession
along the aisle of the church, and the
congregation are afterwards permitted
to take peep at it as the casket sets in
the vestry. The outer robe worn by
Jesus when on the cross is said to be
preserved in the church at Treves,
Germany, the fragment mentioned
above being part of His inner garment,
the one for which the Roman soldiers
are said to have cast lots. The holy
tunic is enclosed within double shrine,
and is only exhibited in it's entirety at
rare intervals, as it is placed under seal
by the bishop of the diocese (Versailles)
who alone has authority, under the
Pope, to break them. Thirty-fve years
ago the seals were broken by the then
bishop, as Plus had expressed wish to
have fragment of the sacred garment.
While this was being done two other
fragments were cut out of it and placed
in small shrines, which the faithful were
allowed to kiss, kneeling at the altar.
The seals affixed in 1854 began to crum-
BILE away about 1882, When they were re-
newed by the Bishop of Versailles, just
before the Whitsuntide festival. The
matesial of which the holy tunic is COM
posed is cancels hair and is very much
like cloth worn by Arabs of the present
day. The garment was submitted to
microscopic examination and all those
present conceded in An agreement that
they could detect not stains, but traces
which they were convinced could have
been made by no fluid except blood.
Knowing that there is nothing improb-
able in the story that garment made of
camsls hair could be kept for IS As
centuries, it is given for what it is,
worth; the writer does not even express
an opinion as to the authenticity of the
relic.
Many remarkable cures are attributed
to this wonder. Among others might be
mentioned tho case of the Oldest son of
Lord Clifford, the Marquis of Hareourt
and the Counte de Damas.-St. louis

John Bright's Tombstone.

The gravestone which now marks the
last resting place of John Bright, in the
Friends Graveyard, at Rochdale, is re-
markable for neatness and simplicity,
and just in keeping with what he de-
sired should be placed at the head of the
grave of his late wife. 1t is white
marble, but only two feet, six inches in
length, and two feet in breadth, bor-
dered with plain groove all round the
margin, and the lettering is of plain
English characters, the wording being:

seventy-seven years." This simple rec

Why 1t Is an Antiseptic.

1T is we'll understood that alcohol will
preserve from corruption things which
are put in it, Fruits may be preserved
in alcohol. The naturalist pickles his
specimens in alcohol. The surgeon de-
posits the cancers and tumors which he
has extracted in alcohol, and they are
preserved for many years. But what is
an antiseptic? To answer this question
we must inquire what is the cause of
destruction and decay? Modern science
has discovered that it is caused by the
presence of living creatures which, null
tiplying indefinitely, break down the
tissues and destroy the organic forms.
How, then, does alcohol preserve from
decay? Simply by killing every liv-
ing form which would otherwise prey
upon these tissues. The antiseptic pow
er of alcohol, then, is simply Its power
of destroying life. All antiseptics are
poisonous, and they are antiseptics be-
cause they are poisons. Arsenic is much
used in embalming. Other poisonous
drugs are used for the same purpose.
Any thing which will utterly destroy
life will prevent the growth and devel-
opment of those minute animalcul@,
which destroy and break up tissues
when the vital spark is fled. Alcohol,
therefore, is antiseptic only as it is
deadly. A deadly poison, it prevents
decay. 1t is death to every thing which
seeks to prey upon those tissues. The
human system is not benefited by the
presence of such poisons In small
quantities life struggles and maintains
its existence. Large quantities destroy
vitality, and destroy every thing that
has life and that would prey upon forms
already dead.

BREVlTIES.

Mr.. STURGEON says ''grape-juice has

THE total banking capital of the

If, on the whole, the rum-shop should
be welcome in every community like
the school-house and the church, then,
of course, our law is wrong and ought
to be repealed. But it ought, neverthe-
less, to be enforced like other laws
until it is repealed. (Me.)

IT is unfortunate that the liquor traffic
will not submit to the will of the major
ity, and that it fiaunts in the face of the
people the flag of rebellion against law.
But such is the case, and any laws made
against it must recognize its law-defy-
ing nature and deal with it accordingly.
