A Pretty Italian Phrase.

The Italians have pretty phrase to
express that fine kind of tact which is
independent of education. They call it
1.-The intellect of love-" and they have
crystalized in those four words one of
the most ethereal, but also one of the
most potent characteristics of human
nature. Not the most liberal education
gives this intellect of love where the
materials have been denied by nature;
not the most restricted range of knowl-
edge destroys it where it is there by the
constitution of things People who
have this intellect of love are as slow to
take offense as to give it. They have
none of the prickly heat of tempera-
ment which Pushes out into a moral
eruption at the least contrariety of cir
cumstances. They make allowances
for wealth, health, disappointments,
annoyances, Misunderstanding, and
they give the benefit of the doubt on the
charitable side, whenever it is possible
to frame doubt at all They never
quarrel Even if things so badly, as by
reason of malice and Misrepresentation
as they do sometimes with the best in
the world, they suffer quietly, and dc
not make bad worse.-St Louis Globe

Opium Smoking in London

some startling facts are brought to
light by writer in recent issue of the
Medical Press concerning the increase
in the habit Of smoking opium in Lon
don. A gentleman who had been told
that this habit was growing determined
to make some inquiries himself. After
some time he learned that application
for information should be made to a
certain well-known medical practitioner
living in the West End. The gentle
mans wife wrote to this practitioner
asking information and received in re-
ply a copy OF a pamphlet entitled
''Opium Smoking as Therapeutic
Power, According to the Latest Medical
Authorities" The pamphlet describes
in detail the method of preparing and
smoking the opium and recites the con-
ditions which are said to be specially
benefited by taking the drug in this
form. The physician who is supposed
to be the author of the pamphlet is
q confirmed opium smoker and he seems
to be actuated with desire to drag
others down to the level of his own
degradation.

How the Russians Eat.

The Russians eat, on an average, once
every two hours. The climate and GUS
tom require such frequent meals, the
digestion of which is aided by frequent
draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is
the Russian whisky, and made from po-
tatoes and rye. 1t is fiery and color
less, and favored with some extract like
vanilla or orange. 1t is drunk from
small cups that hold perhaps half gill.
Vodki and tea are the inseparable &C
compartments of friendly, as we'll as Of
business intercourse in the country of
the Car. Drunken men are rare. Rus
STA and Sweden are the only countries
in which the double dinners is the rule.
When you go to the house of Russian,
be he a friend OF a stranger, you are at
once invited to side table, where
sailed meats, picked eel, sailed cucum-
bers and many other spicy and appetiz-
ing viands are urged upon you with an
impressiveness that knows no refusal
This repast is washed down with FREE
quent cups Of vodki That over and

says: And now for dinner. Christian

her uncle gathered up the reins, and in
another moment they were disappearing
before cloud Of dust.
Will stared after them, and soon dis
covered another vehicle. 1t contained

Isabel recognized him, and explana-

One evening, about two months after
Isabel had returned, Will Browning was
standing beside her, as she sat on the
piano stool, and, with no preliminary
cough or compliment, took her hand and
said:

Isabel looked at the carpet.

She shook her curly head affirma-

Isabel rose, and, as she left the room,

Will paced restlessly up and down,
and his suspicious regarding Benton
grew blacker and blacker.
Then Isabel came in with the picture.
The face was not toward him and he
dreaded to see it.
SIS there no hope for me?" he asked.
Isabel smiled and held the picture
before his eyes.
Will stared comically, and had tho
sensations of one that finds that his
own shadow has played ghost to the ex.
tent of frightening him nearly out of
his wits.
But he was equal to the occasion. and,
in compliance with the time-honored old

Queer Customs Observed in the Island
from Time ImmemoriAl

Queer Customs Observed in the Island
from Time Immemorial
Il must be noticed, however, that
their Sabbath begins at six p. m. on
Saturday, when the church-beu is tolled,
and ends on Sunday at the same hour.
Formerly no vessel could leave port be-
tween these hours. Marriage cancels
every other engagement, so that there
can be no breach of promise brought
against man when once he is married.
The inhabitants have a strange Gus
tom on New Years Eve. They then
peram bulate the streets with broken
pots and pans which they place before
their friends doors, and the man who
has the largest heap before his cottage
is considered the most popular.
The people rarely lock their doors,
but when they do they leave the key
where it can be reached by any one
seeking admission.
The fisher-girls bait the hooks and
carry them in large wooden basket
filled with sand to the fishermen on the
beach. This is bv no means a light
burden; yet they may be seen cheerful
ly chatting with their companions as
they march onward with WOODEN shawls
over their heads. The streets bear En-
glish names, as Leopold, Berlin, Church,
Augusta, Thames, Short, O. Brien, Prince
of Wales, Princess street, etc. but the
natives have their own names for them.
Heligoland has small prison or lock-
up but they rarely lock any one up, as
they do not care to board the prisoner.
There is also small cottag hospital
ready for use if necessary, but patients
are few and far between. There is also
a poor-house. Here poor people live
rent free. The plan adopted is for
parents and children to go before the
magistrate, when the former resign any
little property they may possess to their
children, who in their turn promise to
find them in food. When the husband
dies the wife takes his property, and at
her decease it is equally divided be-
tween the children
II are no horses or donkeys ON
Heligoland, for they would be useless
there; but there are eight cows and
about thirty sheep tethered and MIXED,
the milk being considered superior to
that of COWS. There are three police
men, the junior being known by the ex-
ira amount of gold lace worn by him.
The coast-guard consists of five Eng
lishmen, who are not permitted to act
as constables. There are also sixteen
active native coastgusrds, and sixteen
in the reserve. When there is wreck
the whole island claims the salvage.
Most of the Inhabitants are behind with
their rates, but they are never prose-
cuted, for when settling takes place
after thu season is over what remains is
left in hopes of being recovered next
year. The doctors are engaged to work
on wrecks, and then old scores are
wiped of and the balance handed over
to them. The natives only are per-
mitted to rent small potato patches,
which are much valued, but the gov

Disease Com unicated by Fish.

Fish are subject to the same diseases
which prevail among other animals and
are thus in the same degree liable to
communicate disease to those who par
take of them unless so thoroughly
cooked that all parasitic germs will be
killed. A gentleman who has been
making a scientific study of the fish in
New York harbor finds that among these
alone there exists over thirty different
kinds of parasites Epidemics have
sometimes prevailed among fish to the
extent of killing them in vast numbers
so that they were washed upon the
shores in great heaps, as off the coast of
the Carolinas few years ago.-From q
