AMERICAN LIFE.
The Dangers which Threaten Men OF
business.

The Dangers which Threaten Men OF
business
American life is too often a tragedy
which ends with the sudden death of
the most prominent actors. The eager,
anxious, restless iife-the hot, hard,
desperate pursuit of wealth and fame
is killing our people before their
time \ great statesman falls in the
midst of his usefulness; a popular Gem
eral dies in his prime; Il leading mer-
chant falls dead in his store. These are
no nurses tales to frighten children.
They are the occurrences of our daily
life. They should make US pause. Call
upon a man of business, and he is too
busy To attend to You. He gives you
his ear. but his mind is far away. In
the mad struggle for wealth, instead of
doing the work of one man We vainly
try To do the work of three. We
scarcely take time to eat or sleep.
Hence the softening of the brain and
other mental diseases which are so com
mon in this country. This was not
always the ease. 4 generation since
our people lived their full time. Astor
was great merchant, but he lived
until he was elghuy-four. Clay was a
s,-rat statesman, and he lived until he
Wa sevcnty-siX. Scott was a great
General. yet h. lived until he was sew
enty-ninc. Our life needs toning down
we want less rush and more repose.

ACQUITTED THEMSELVES.

A Good Story About Three Sameless jus
tices of the Peace
A good story Is told by the New York
Sun of the adventure of three police
justices and a detective employed by
one of the socio ies whose operations
are intended to brace up the Law. 1t
seems that shortly before the holiday
SEASON began n man who had been
ectivc in politics for many years died
leaving his family almost wholly un-
provided for. His home had been hand
somely furnished. and the widow, com
PEELED to move into more economical
quarters, determined to sell the heavier
articles of furniture. Three members
of the board of police justices took a
hand in the sale Among other devices
for helping their friends widow was a
rattle for her grand piano The JUS
tices organized the friendly enterprise,
promoted the sale of tickets. and when
a sum representing the value of several
such pianos had been gathered in, they
superintended the drawing.
This took place one evening in Har-
lem store. That was where the detect
i've came in, though some people are
bold enough TO say that il was Com
stock himself. At all events, the
guardian of morality, whatever his
name, thought he saw a chance for a
grand coup. and accordingly descended
upon the store, made his way through
the interested crowd, and formally ar
rested the three Justices for conducting
lottery. The detective might have
been a martyr to his zeal if blank Won
derment had not paralyzed the spec
tators and before Indignation could AS
sert itself the Justices had mastered the
situation. \ police justice is author
that occasion may require. The de-
tective had forgotten this. but the three
Justices hadn't, and one of them having
mounted table, opened court and sum
moned his colleagues to the bar to plead
to the charge laid against them.
Then the spectators began to see fun
in the episode, and when they laughed
the detective nervously tried To pass the
proceedings of as joke-that is, the
trial part He insisted on the arrest,
and the justice on the bench table, in.

WOMEN IN JAPAN.

Like the Chinese, and in fact every

possible to bring any untraveled Jap

sit at table with her husband. no matter
how high her rank may be, and when

Imagine young and delicately
nurtured American girl, such as. for in
stance, the fair Quakeress of Philadel-
phia, who has always been accustomed
to the most thorough Difference and
courtesy, thrown for the first time
among a set of men such as the untrav-
eled friends of her Japanese husband
men who are devoid of every feeling,
not alone of civilized respect for her
sex, but even of the most elementary
notions of civilized decency. Anybody
who has lived among the Japanese. as

THE SAMOVAR.
Why the Russian TeakettIe Is So Much
Su erior to Ours.

Why the Russian TeakettIe Is So Much
Su erior to Ours
A samovar, the distinctively Russian
utenSil for heating water to make tea,
when in brass or nickle. of small size.
but large enough for family use, costs
sixteen dollars. In Russia the Samovar
is as common a household utensil as is
our teakcttle. The superiority of the
samoyar over our teakettle is due TO the
greater rapidity with which water is
heated in it. says the New York Trib-
une. \ little brand of charcoal is
started in the section in the center
designated for this purpose, and the
water around it is heated much more
rapidly than ii can be in the teakettle,
exposed to the fire only at the bottom;
but if the mistress of the house could
see that the teakettle is freshly filed,
and would use the water at the moment
it boils. as delicious tea could be made
with a teakettle as with a samovar.
The Russian lady, it must be remem-
bered. does not intrust the important
part of the tea making, the boiling of
the water, To a servant. She has this
done before her in a samovar, and thus
ensures the perfection of her tea. She
IL, therefore, not called upon 10 waste
words and patience with a domestic,
who in answer to your inquiries as to
whether the kettle is boiling" invari-
ably replies: 1T have boiled" As
though water that had once been boiled
was. therefore. fit for tea making. even
if it has been reduced to lukewarm
temperature since! No amount of in
struction will ever eradicate from the
mind of the average servant the idea
that water that has boiled is therefore
fit for tea; and that You are over-fastidi-
Gus to require that it shall be boiling at
the time the tea is made, and that it
should not have. been boiled before

EDITOR HERALD: AS patriot and mem
Der of the Society D. A. R., please let me in
quire through your columns why the Govern
ment, or the Regents of Mt. Vernon, or the
Society of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, had no representative the other
day in Philadelphia at the sale of the Wash
ington relics? The most notable objects of
which we have heard at any sale were knocked
off to private individuals, such personal eff
fects and mementoes of George Washington
and his great-grandfather not matched by
anything owned by the United States
There was the will Of his great-grand-
parent, then his own will, his sword, his
prayer-book, called "The Daily Sacrifce;n his
account book, mourning ring, mirror that
once hung in his parlor at Mount Vernon,
valuable portraits which the United States
should own to complete its local historical
gallery. In short it seems remarkable, that
these treasures could be anywhere else than
at Mount Vernon or in the National Museum.
1t remains to be seen whether or not the
Daughters or Sons of the American ReVolu-
ton viii move to collect and purchase these
from individuals, in order to preserve them
