some Historic Houses.

1t is great disappointment TO person
who goes abroad hoping to see places of
which he has read and TO find them ex-
actly as he has imagined them, when he
discovers that time has worked great
changes, and sometimes unpleasant ones,
with the homes of famous men and women.
A great many interesting places may be
seen by the traveller who spends few days
in Geneva and its vicinity. In the old part
of Geneva is Calvin's house, in narrow
dingy street.
Rousseau's house is another which tour
lists feel obliged to hunt up. though they
usually view it from a respectful distance
for it is at present occupied bya large
family, whose appearance at the windows
is apt to he disconcerting. Rousseau's
island, represented as being such a ro-
mantle spot, is at present a most unat-
tractive place, Il miserable restaurant being
the most prominent object on it, and there
is always tribe of women and children
sitting about, ready to beg of the unwary
traveller the minute he approaches.
Then from Geneva one can so easily to
Coppet to see Nine. de Stael's country
home, where there is a quaint chateau,
with beautiful park, gardens and farm,
and also to Ferney, the old home of Vol
taire, where, in lT6S, he established the
mandatory of watches, which gave en-
ployment to 500 people, and brought the
place from miserable hamlet to state
of prosperity.
In Voltaire's sitting room there is a curl
Gus urn, bearing French inscription, and
really said to contain the heart of the
brilliant, skeptical Frenchman. The in
dignation of the old man who shows visit
ors through the rooms if any one suggests
the possibility of the hearts not being
there is really convincing to most people
that he knows the truth of what he afifrms.

Laborers Lunch at $50 in st. Louis.

In all the big manufacturing establish
ments of the city the morning lunch hour
is an institution that employers must re-
spect as much as they do the noon recess.
At $50 o'clock, should you be in the man
ufacturing districts, you will hear blow
ing of whistles and a ringing of bells and
a general shutting down of machinery. A
small percentage of workmen are imme-
diately seen to emerge from the shops and
make highway to the nearest saloon with
its sign of 'HOt Lunch at 9:30." Perhaps
a boy will be seen with his row of tin buck
cts strung on poles, but step inside and
you will see that every man is eating some
thing. Down in South St. Louis it is the
rule to have an afternoon lunch, but that
is not general in North St. Louis.
What threatened to be serious strike
was caused by an order from the owner of
the largest cooper shop in the country cut
ting down the lunch hour from thirty min
utes to twenty minutes. The entire 500
men and boys at once laid down their tools
and walked out. The proprietor knew that
the men would make stubborn fight
against this infringement of what they fan
cied to be a hereditary right, and gave in
after two hours of parley.-Interview in
St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Sanitary Progress in Three Hundred Years.
DR.. B. w. Richardson finds that in the
time of Queen Elizabeth the annual death
rate of the whole of London was 20 per
1000: that the death rate largely exceeded
the birth rate; that the death rate of chill
dren under 3 was 80 per 100; that only
persons in 100 reached the age of 20; and
that it was boosted that there was not
more than one murder annually for each
1000 of population. The publication of
the city has added much to its healthful-
ness, which, however, is yet far below what
could he desired.
The annual mortality is now about 20
per 1000, but one-third of these deaths are
due to preventable causes; the birth rate
is much greater than the death rate, while
the death rate of children under has been
greatly reduced, but still is % per 100
Even in the city proper is per cent. of the
inhabitants-a proportion that should be
much greater still-live to the age of 20;
and good local government has reduced
the murders to an annual average of not
more than 70 in the entire population of
5000. UGO.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Among the recent experiments in paving
is the combination of cedar blocks and
cobble stones. The single horse car track
in the center of the street is paved with
cobble stones. A width of about eight feet
on either side is paved with cedar blocks
and the rest of the way to the curb is paved
with cobble stones. This gives pavement
which has some excellent points.
Its disadvantages are that the wood paw
ing shows tendency to wear in ruts, as
the vehicles run so nearly in one track
Well laid cedar block paving in Detroit
lasts eight or ten years, and on some streets
even fifteen or twenty years. 1t is gener-
ally laid on sand, with sand brushed be-
tween the blocks A pavement that is
much more even. but which costs consid-
erably more, is made by laying the cedar
blocks on concrete, with cushion of sand
between and filling with coal tar between
the blocks. Asphalt is now finding much
favor in the replacing of cedar blocks on
streets of heavy traffic.-Boston Herald.

FATE.

The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare,
The spray OF the tempest is white in air;
The winds are out with the waves at play,
And shall not tempt the sea today.
The trail is narrow, the wood is dim,
The panther clings TO the arching limb;
And the lions whclps are abroad at play
And shah not Join in the chase today.
But the ship sailed safely over the sea.
And the hunters came from the chase in glee;
And the town that was builded upon rock
Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

To Train the Nerves.

The eye is the best medium through
which to establish the power of concentra-
ton and the poise of the nervous system.
When one is subject to erratic movements
careful practice Of the following exercises
will do much toward establishing nerve
control. In fact persons lacking nerve
control should never Willingly make rapid
motions.
Place the palms of the hands toward
each other. Bring the fingers as closely
together as possible without allowing them
to touch. At first the hands will tremble,
but with each days practice they will grow
more steady, and ultimately the fingers
can be held within an infnitesimal part Of
an inch of each other and still not touch

The Bible in Swiss Schools.

In the classes of city and town schools in
Switzerland the boys and girls are usually
separated There is no study room, the
studying being all done at home. 1t is
noticeable that the school opens without
Bible reading or prayer, but later in the
morning one of the town pastors will enter
the rooms of the higher classes and give a
half hours instruction, mostly concerning
the characters of the New Testament. The
scholars will be asked about the lives of
Peter and Paul and the scenes of the Holy
Land, the interest of the pupil depending
wholly On the ability of the teacher to en-
terrain kilp. The talk of the half hour
seems to be devoted more to Bible biogra-
ply than to religious training. The preach
ers, however, have an uphill row of it, for
hundreds of the Swiss teachers are infidels.

About Wearing a Dress Suit.

1t is question that admits of no argu-
ment. The walking suit or Prince Albert
for anything and everything before 6
o'clock, and the dress suit for anything
and everything afterward. If an enter
tainment commences in the sunlight and
concludes leagues into the night the ''cut-
away walking suit or Prince Albert
though the latter is not so much worn as
formerly-are the suits to be worn. On
the other hand, il night has come or 6
o'clock a gentleman can don his dress
suit at home for large or small entertain
ments, for the theatre, opera OK anything
else and feel confident of being properly
dressed, even though he find himself the
only man in regulation costume. Embar-
rasSment need not follow, excepting on the
part of the Others at their not being clothed
in the same manner.
1t is question continually arising.
Many times man will extend invitations
to his friends to dine and attend the
theatre. and hesitates about wearing a
dress suit for fear of embarrassing his
friends if they should not beas thoughtful.
This should not be the cause of hesitancy.
1t is correct, and the custom should be
established. If man has any time to de-
vote to pleasure his first thought should
be to provide himself with proper cos
TUNES.
1t is duty that he owes himself. Not
so much for the sake of toadying to con-
ventionality as IL at it is restful to throw
off all thought of care and business from
the body as we'll as the mind. As far as
the convcntionality is concerned, it is emf
neutly more proper and in much better
form to appear in the threadbare business
suit in the evening than in the dress suit
under the light of the sun.-Teresa H.

How to Clean Brass.

The method prescribed for cleaning
brass, and in use in all the United States
arsenals. is claimed to be the best in the
world and may be useful to housewives.
The plan is to make mixture of one part
common nitric acid and one-half pint sui
phuric acid in stone jar, having also
ready pail of fresh water and box of
sawdust The articles to be treated are
dipped into the acid, thrown into the wa
ter and finally rubbed with sawdust. This
changes them into brilliant color imme-
diately. If the brass has become greasy it
is first dipped in a strong solution of pot
ash and soda in warm water; this cuts the
grease so that the acid has full power to
act.-New York Jourp9L

Advantages Of Compressed Air.

Aside from the advantages to the users
of power there are other advantages to the
public from the use of compressed air. 1t
would enable manufacturers to establish
their power plants outside the cities, thus
saving to the public the annoyance Of
smoke and exhaust steam. 1t would sup
ply instead OF these large volumes of pure
sIs to the parts of the cities wsere work
was being done. Again, it has been shown
