New York World has

The New York World has printed a
census OF children in two representative
quarters of that city, Fifth avenue and
Cherry street. In 800 families living on
the former street there were found nine
ty-one children under 10 years of age,
OF whom six were born in the past
twelve months. In Cherry street, which
appears to be an abode of the very poor.
800 families furnished $50 children under
ten years and III under one year of age.
They manage to have considerable

zee Legislature. A Tennessee paper, re-
porting the passage Of an important
Dill, says: There was great enthusi-
asm, some disorder, and somebody tied
sleeps bell to Mr.. Collins, of Carter
County, and he did not know where it
was until he had attracted the attention
Of the house. Visitors then filed out

KEEP PEoolNo AWAY.

This world Is a world full of pitfalls and
snares,
OF Lnliput pleasures and Gulliver cares;
With people more ready to curse than to
bless,
With little to cheer you and much to de-
press;
But the best thing to do is-believe me, /
pray
Face your duty. be brave, and keep pegging
away.
The pitiful creatures of envy, indeed,
Will ieer or will carp If you fail or succeed;
There are those without number who lack
not the will
To give you kick once you're started down
hill
Don't let them disturb you; don't mind
what they say;
Turn your eyes to the light and keep peg
ging away.
Devotion to duty a lever will prove
Wherewith you can myriad obstacles move;
You may find that lifes gold Overmatches
the drOss
In striking your balance Of profit and loss.
Be steadfast and patient be hopeful and
gay
To business attend and keep pegging away.
With the honey Of life must some wormwood
be mixed.
An the daintiest rose by thorn is trans
fixed;
But the honey's more sweet from the leaven
OF gall,
And the rose rudely pierced the most fra
grant of all
You'll find your reward great and lasting
some day,
II strong In your faith you keep pegging
away

F,REs,pE FRAGMENTS.

Saving and spending are opposite
qualities, but in buying provisions for
the household it may be saving to spend
literally, and one may spend when saw
ing.
Among the most common causes OF
indigestion are the inordinate use OF
too long infused tea, especially without
other food, and in excess. In plain
words, this is self-poisoning.
For rusks add the beaten yelks OF
three eggs, one cupful Of sugar and
half a cupful of butter to about quart
Of bread dough. Mix all we'll together
and mould into cakes. Let them be
rather high and slender, and place them
close together in the pan. Rub the tops
over with mixture of sugar and water,
then sprinkle dry sugar upon them.
Many people like roast beef cold
quite as we'll as hot. Served with toma-
to sauce and baked potatoes, it makes
an excellent breakfast Cold mutton,
cut in thin, shapely slices, is nice
relish for breakfast. II liked hot, boil
the gravy which was left with the meat;
add two or three tablespoonfuls of
cooked tomato, or tomato catsup; ar
range the meat evenly on deep platter,
and pour the remainder of the sauce over
it.-Country Gentleman.
House cleaning is with many job
to be dreaded. The reason of this is
often in the manner in which it is car
ried On. We have seen some houses in
an uproar and muss for week. And
it Is sometimes true, where this is the
case, that things lack great way from
being in perfect order when the clean
ing is finally done. Whatever method
Is adopted ''clean as you co." and do not
''track all the dirt back" into the
cleaned rooms.-The Household.
Some excellent cooks do not grease
cake tins at all, except for sponge cake
and the kind in which but little butter
is used. Instead of greasing-line the
tin with thin paper, white or brown.
While the cake is warm this can be
taken off very easily. Or if the cake
stands in the tin until cold just place it
n a warm oven few seconds and then
turn bottom up upon the cake board and
the paper will come off without the
least trouble. Then turn the cake and
let stand upon the board until wrapped
and put away for use.-Boston CONNER
cial.
There is often great waste in the
kitchen by those who say they tr y hard
to economic. In cooking meat the
water is often thrown out without re-
moving the grease. Scraps of meat are
thrown away because ''oniy little is
left, so there is no use in saving it. -
Dried fruits are not looked after. and be-
come wormy. Cream is left to mold and
spoil. The tea and coffee oanisters are
left open, thereby losing the strength
Of their contents. Bones of meat are
thrown out, when they could be used in
making soup. Sugar, tea, coffee and
rice are spilled in careless handling.
Soap is left to waste in the water, tubs
are left to fall to pieces, brooms and
mops are not hung up. How much is
wasted by some housewives in these
seemingly small things! Yet these
small things amount to CONSIDERABLE

Action is the universal condition of

Words are signs, and not original
sources of ideas.
Memory is called into action earlier

Deduction is dependent upon and

Thought is limited by the action of

Original perception through different
senses precedes acquired perception.
The means of producing mental ac-

BRAZILIAN FASHIONS.
How the People Dress When They Dress
at All.

II each coast town has it's character
istic colony, so also each has its own
fashions of dress for the swarming black
population. I have noticed process of
evolution in costume as I have come
down from the equator. The negro
children at Para and Maranhao were
stark naked. At Pernambuco and Bahia
they have calico dresses. the men be-
gan with a pair of trunks or short trou-
sers, without hat, shoes, shirt, or coat;
at Maranhao they added loose-ftting
shirt, tapping over the trousers; at
Pernambuco ragged coat went over
the shirt and torn straw hat covered
the head; and at Bahia shoes and stock
ings almost complete the costume of
negro laborer. Only the waistcoat re-
mains to be provided. and perhaps may
find that at Rio. The costume of women
has been developed in the same progress
I've way. At the start there was tunic or
ehemise, with head and feet bare. Furth-
or down the coast calico skirt and waist
were thrown over the tunio, and shoes
were worn. At Bahia light shawl or
wrap is thrown over calico suits of the
gayest colors and patterns, and there is
lavish display of cheap bracelets,
brass earrings and amulets. At Rio I
Am prepared to see handkerchiefs and
fans. These are the costumes of the
lowest class of blacks. With education,
respectable employment, and social
equality, the dress of the negroes and
mulattoes changes, until it is hardly dis
hnguishable from that of the native
Brazilians and Portuguese. A black
who has risen above the level of his
race is scrupulously careful to initiate
In detail the costume of his equal, the
Portuguese white. He wears ordinarily
silk or black felt hat, broadcloth
cutaway coat of black, and pantaloons
and waistcoat of white duck. Even the
lowest classes of blacks in Bahia are
superior to any other negroes whom 1
have yet seen in Brazil. The women who
hawk fish or pineapples in the streets
are marvels of physical development
and grace and they walk like Greek god

HomeIy Women of Portugal.

The Portuguese men are rather below
the medium height, of olive complexion.
and have brilliant black eyes. For the
most part they are very handsome. The
women. on the contrary, are excessively
homely, but dress in very good taste.
Both gentlemen ana ladies copy the
Partisan fashions. The prettiest women
are the fisher maids, who go about the
streets barefooted with their baskets OF
fish on their heads, after the fashion OF
the Egyptian women with their pitchers
of water. Some of these girls are re-
markably pretty, and, strange to say,
their feet are small and delicate look

CONCERNING CROWNS.
The Emblems of Royalty Worn by Kings
and Queens.


and Queens.
Many years ago 1t was the correct
thing for monarch to wear the
Identical crown worn by his predeces-
sOrs. A king never was formally
crowned on the day when he succeeded
to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for week or two in
order to have the crown thoroughly
renovated. In the days when the French
had kings the monarch was so liable to
be upset by revolution that he was
unwilling to delay the ceremony of cor
onation, and it often happened that
new French king would send out the
prime minister with the crown within
twenty minutes after the previous kings
decease with orders to have it blocked
for two and one-half francs while he
waited. But there is no doubt that the
custom of handing down the same crown
from generation to generation had it's
disad vantages.
In the first place, it rarely happens
that two kings have heads of precisely
the same size, and as rule the crown
which fitted the original king for whom
1t was made never fitted any of his sue
cessors, but was always either too large
or too small. Nothing looks more alb
surd than very small crown cooked on
the Head of very large king, except,
perhaps, crown which is much too
large for the wearer and continually
falls over his ears. There was, it is true.
a certain reverence for antiquity and in
herited rights shown by this custom of
wearing an ancient ancestral crown, but
it need not be supposed that any mon
arch really liked it.
No matter how carefully king might
have his fathers crown secured and re-
paired he always felt that he was wear
ing another mans clothes, so to speak.
AS for Queen Victoria, it is well known
that she ordered an entire set of new
crowns when she came to the throne, re-
marking as she gave the order, that she
had as much affection for some of her
relatives as any body need have, but as
tor wearing any thing that had been on

Pennsylvania Miller Stops the Machin-
cry for Robin.
In SilaS Wickham's saw-mill, on Bow
mans creek, robin built her nest In
queer spot last summer, says Scranton
correspondent. The mill had been idle
for some time, and late in May while
Mr.. Wickham was getting ready to saw
few logs, a cock robin darted about
the mill and squalled spitefully at him.
Why the noisy bird was so cross MIR.
Wickham couldn't make out, but he
learned pretty soon after he had hoisted
the gate and set the mill agoing. On
the top of the upright saw frame mother
robin had built her nest, and she was
sitting on it when the machinery began
to make the saw fly up and down. The
quick, downward strokes came mighty
near pulling the nest away from her,
but she chung fast and kept her four
eggs warm. Meantime the male robin
darted at Mr.. Wickham every few
seconds and cried at times as though he
had no business around there. The
female birds admirable devotion to
duty. and the male robins incessant
pleadings IN her behalf, touched Mr.
Wickham's sympathetic chord. he said,
and before the saw was half through
the log he shut the water off. He was
in no hurry for lumber, and he didn't
try to run the saw again until after the
robins had raised their little family. In
the latter part of July he noticed that
the birds were preparing to begin house.
keeping anew. There were two eggs in
the cid nest up on the saw frame, and
the indications were that mother robin
would lay two more inside Of three days.
The water was low then, and Mr.. Wick
ham let the busy robins have the mill
all to themselves. Before frosty nights
came the birds had Matched and raised
another brood on the old saw frame,
sent them out into the big world, and

1t is strange coincidence that
several American clowns, and at least
one English pantomimist, have all died
insane. Hitherto the general belief
among professionals has been that the
quantity OF bismuth used in making
up" particularly in America, where the
hair is cropped close and the bismuth
rubbed into the side of the head, had
great deal to do with disease. But one
old pantomimist still living solemnly
attests that, so far as his experience

faculties unimpaired, but had the merit
