EXCELLENT ADVICE.
Three Suggestions Made by Goethe, the
Great POet-PhiIosOpher.

Great fOet-PhlloSOpher'
Goethes advice to friend, to whom,
he was writing, is well worth remember
ing and accepting, viz: make sure each
day to see some beautiful object, to read
some great truth, to perform some good
deed" The first suggestion, make
sure each day to sec some beautiful OBJ
ject," is to the most of us neglected.
To be sure there are many so situated
who could not if they would, comply with
this advice. but how many, on the other
hand, pass along through life scarcely
noticing the beautiful skies, the f1eecy
floating clouds, the starry armament,
the glorious sunset, tho glistening
SHOWS, the flowers and green-swards,
and all the varied beauties of nature,
which are free to all. Then, too, the
beauties of architecture, which so de-
light the eve of one trained to appreci-
ate them, or one having natural taste
for symmetry, might be enjoyed far
more than they are. And the develop
ing of talent and sentiment in that
direction would do much toward the
larger cultivation of that art.
1t is fact that very few Florentines
leave their beautiful city, so filled with
gems of architectural beauty, and with
works of genius, to make new homes for
themselves elsewhere, even when they
could better themselves financially by
so doing. The question being asked of
an Italian lady as to the cause. the in
slant reply was: "Ah, Florentine
must see something beautiful every day!
L1arop+inay ,o+l ,nb -; ~
a sight Of their dear Duomo and Campi-
nile, and the towers and the churches.
They love their old city, LA Bella
Firenza.'
And the second suggestion, "Read
some great truth" might be adopted by
nearly all. A great truth read and pom
dered every day would no doubt DO help
full, stimulating to higher thought, to
broader conceptions of life and its oppor-
tunities, and preventing us from too
much introspection, and keeping many
who now devote too much of their time
to gossip and small talk to get rid of
that unfortunate habit.
The third injunction of the old Ger
man philosopher, ''Make sure each day
to perform some good deed" would be
so easy for every one to follow, but alas!
alas! in this selfish world how few, how
very few the number of those who have
such purpose before them at the dawn
ing of each new day. What sweet and
lovely world this would be were that
| advice followed by every one.
Like the falling of a gentle rain upon
the hard and arid soil on which no
bright flowers bloomed but which soon
| responded to the heavenly blessing and
made the plants TO blossom, so the intiu-
| ence of good deeds would permeate all
society, leaving beauty and fragrance
everywhere.
Good to remember is this advice
given long ago, MAKE sure each day to
see some beautiful object, to read some
great truth, to perform some good deed"

INTERESTING FIGURES.
Remarkable Decrease in the Use of Alec
hol in London Hospitals.

Remarkable Decrease in the Use of Alco-
hoI in London Hospitals.
A very interesting report has been
presented to the British Medical Tenn
perance Association by Drs. Morton,
NOR and Pearce, on the adminlstra-
ton of alcohol in hospitals. The COM
mittee have drawn up series of tables
full of instructive figures, instituting a
comparison between the amount ex-
pended under this head in 1868 and in
1888. The remarkable fact is noted
that in these twenty-five years there
has been, from the returns made by 113
hospitals, an increase of 800 per cent. in
the charge for milk and decrease of
At per cent. in the charge for alcohol.
A second table gives returns from 60
hospitals Of which no previous record
could be found. On the basis adopted
by DR.. Fleetwood Buckle, in his report
on 1868, these so hospitals showed de-
crease Of 80 per cent. in the expendi-
ture for alcohol per bed. A third
table shows the comparative al
coholic charges per bed in 1868
and 1888 respectively. In rs hos
pitfalls there had been an increase
of 2,10s beds, and an decrease of total
average cost per bed of e7S Ss. sd. Beds
have thus increased at the rate of 25 per
cent, while the amount expended on al

knitted Portiere: 1t is the easiest
thing imaginable to do if you can collect
enough silk pieces. An old black silk,
no matter how forlorn, is the very thing
you want. Cut it in strips about half
an inch wide, and sew together. Mix
with it any strips of colored silk. The
children's old faded sasnes or hair rib
bons are made useful by dying them
orange, red or any other color. After
you have wound your strips into balls
like carpet rags, get pair of bone knit
ting needles about three quarters of

you have very handsome portiere.-N.

There occurred lately in Arizona a
calamity kindred in character to tho
Johnstown disaster of last year, only
less in extent, through which upwards
of forty lives were lost. A storage dam

pa river gave way under unusual
pressure, suddenly flooding the valley
below. 1t is stated since the disaster
that there were signs of approaching
danger, whernupon the uperintendent
in charge in the afternoon of the day
before the break in the dam occurred
''sent messenger to the lower dam to
notify the people there of their danger,
but the man stopped at saloon, and,
becoming intoxicated, failed to deliver
the warning. Next morning another
messenger was sent, but owing to the
fury of the storm was overtaken anc
drowned just as he neared the lower
camp" Forty lives were sacrificed
through the failure of the intoxica ted
messenger to deliver in time his i'm
portant message. Thus is the saloon
everywhere, even on the frontier, a
grave public peril. - National Tenn

chat time an important report was re-
ceivcd from the committee..on front-door
and back-alley nuisances.
For six months the committee had
been considering measures for the re-
lief of tornented housekeepers from the
fends who pull the door-bell or bang at
the back gate, and the remedy that has
been devised is calculated to strike ter

the movement is directed.

door and back-alley nuisances contained
two separate recommendations, accom-
panied by plans and specifications. The
first suggestion dealt with the front
door and its abuses. After enumerating
the various classes of book agents, ped
dlers, sewing-machine statesmen and
vendors of matches and feather dust
ers, the report advised the adoption of
an automatic catapult for the abatement
of the nuisance.
The device consists of a powerful
