If any doubt exists in the minds OF our Sem
ators as to the evil character of the beer-garden-
air garden scheme at Forty second st, it should
be removed by the unanimous action OF the
Academy of Medicine last evening. The Acad-

the medical profession in New-iolk When
they. without dissenting voice, condemn the
reservoir project in unmeaSured terms, they
ought to be heard and needed. In their opinion
the garden would be not only nuisance, but
a continual and positive danger. 1t is time that
an end was made of this foolish and pestilent
enterprise.

Girls in vermont's Celebration.

The most beautiful feature of Yer
mont's centennial celebration at Ben
nington was the triumphal arch, a mass
i've structure, at least thlrty-five feet
high. In it's lofty turret was a throne
of gold and national colors. occupied by
Miss Lille Adams, of Bennington, robed
as the Goddess of Liberty. Just below
on the top Of the arch, were 1875 girls
selected from the public schools, clad in
pure white and with flowing hair, who
sang patriotic songs accompanied by a
cornet. as the parade passed beneath the
archway. Below these the arm arches
were filled with maidens, bearing in
their hands banners emblazoned IL gold
and colors with the various coats OF
arms of the states. At the banquet
many notable ladies were present, and
the tables were served in part by 300
young women in white.-Boston Wom-

Modern Swedish Houses.

The majority Of Swedish towns are
still built of wood; but some few there
are which. owing to the destruction of
the old houses by fire, have been re-
built in more substantial manner. In
the breadth of the streets of these new
towns and in some other matters the
Swedish architects have set an example
which might with advantage be fol-
lowed by more southern peoples. One
cannot but regret the destruction Of the
old wooden houses with their strange
gables and quaint little windows; but
what the aptiquary has lost the people
have no doubt gained in improved SAM
tation and such like things.

The Cobra and the Empty Can.

The terrible cobra de capello. which is
feared and venerated in India as snake
god. is occasionally caught mapping when
he has encroached on the territory OF
others.
A resident in India SAYS that he was
one day much astonished by hearing a
succession of reports. like the firing of re
volver which issued from the 'godown,
or storeroom. As he opened the. door a
strange sight met his gaze A cobra had
managed to get into the ROOM and had
been attracted by an empty biscuit tin
in American parlance tin cracker box
about l2 by 6, in which some crumbs
were still remaining
The cover ha1 not been we'll opened
and the edges were Jagged The cobra
had pressed his head inside to lick up
the crumbs. but he could not get it out
again. The more he tried. the more diff
cult did it become.
In his rage his hood expanded and was
lacerated by the sharp edges of the tin.
and upon this he began to lash about
with his tail Pop. pop. went bottles OF
champagne and beer; these were the re-
ports which had been heard within, and
they had given the signal which brought
his executioners to the spot.-Youth' 9

NeighbOrs and Social Relations.

While it is pleasant to have neiShbors
with whom we are on familiar social re-
lations, the fact that we are nei snbors
merely is no reason why such relations
should exist. Certainly no one has any
reason to be offended if a neighbor
chooses to live in retirement. or does no,
return obsequious calls. Too many OF
the calls on new neiyhbors. which are
considered social duty in many dis
tricts Of the country, are simply ply.ng
errands to see if the parlor carpet is
genuine Brussels or rag. or whether the
new neighbor keeps her hair in curl
papers at calling hours, or is a good
manager or a hopeless slatteln. or some
thing else, which ls no. possible concern
of the caller. New York Tribune.

The Right Arm and Left Foot,

The right arm is always little larger
than the left. but the left foot is almost
always larger than the right. presumably
because. while nearly every man uses
his right arm to lift a weight or strike
blow. be almost invariably kicks with
his left foot. while the Younger stands on
his left leg and let's his right fall easily
because he has learned by experience
that this is the best attitude he can as.
sumo to prevent lassitude and fatigue
This constant bearing Of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than the
right. and it often happens that man
who tries on shoe on the right foot and
gets close fit has to discard the shoes
altogether because he cannot endure the
pain caused by the tightness of the left.
II when riding on the street car you will
take the trouble to notice. you will see
that III laced shoes the gap Is much
smaller on the right foot than on the left
while with button shoes the buttons
have to be set back ten times on the left
shoe to once on the right.-St Louis

Rome No Larger Than Brooklyn.

The exaggerations of Vossius, Lipsius
and Chateaubriant. who give to imperial
Rome 4.000. 900. 5000. 900 and 5000, 900
of inhabitants are too absurd to deserve
notice. Hume, who. in his mastery es-
say on the "Populousness of Ancient
Nations" has discussed the question of
the population of Rome with his usual
learning and good sense, arrives at the
conclusion that Rome, when at her
zenith. might have been as populous as
London in 1860: In other words, that she
might have had from 100000 to 800, 600
inhabitants Gibbon estimated the popu.
latiOn at 200. 600. but it would appear
that the more moderate estimate OF
Hume is the more accurate. The popu.
lation of Rome ut Its largest. therefore
did not exceed that OF Brooklyn in 1891

A Hint to Young writers.

We all know how to talk. There L. o
certain number Of words put on the
tongue of every human being. just as
the song is given to the canary bird or to
the robin. But beyond the song these
birds cannot 20. And beyond the natu-
raj speech. or the words that nature
gives to every one, the illiterate human
being cannot go. His vocabulary is linn
tied until he becomes a student. Then
he begins to widen and there is no near
boundary line to its possibilities, The
writer who imagines that he can give
additional emphasis to a composition by
the use of large words is greatly mistak
en-. The economy Of the readers atten.
ton is absorbed in understanding and
applying these big words. and there is
little of the mental energy left with
which to digest the idea that these long
words contain. The picture that is
brought before his mental vision is there
fore dim and uncertain
If the writer would give more promi.
nence to the idea and less to the verbal
frame: in other words, if he would use
simple language which by contrast
would bring out the idea, he would not
only economic his readers mental ener
gy, but would benefit himself by max
ing himself more easily understood The
mind is not able to do more than one
thing at time and do it we'll 1t can
not at once delve into the mysteries Of a
many syllable word and comprehend the
thought in a proper manner.-Chicago

These insects, as is well known, are not
only a nuisance, but an absolute pest in

swarmed with heas and other vermin.

an hour every flea and Objectionable

of ants. | therefore hung it OH mi

found they were suspended they has
tened to leave the rug and descended by
the bush as best they could.

HE LOVED BRAZIL.
Dom Pedro's Last Thoughts of
His Old Kingdom.


PARIS, Dec. 5.-The accounts of the
scenes at the deathbed OF Dom Pedro
show that to the very last his thoughts
were Of the country over which be Tad
so long ruled. and whose welfare. de-
spite the Treatment accorded to him and
his family, he had so closely at heart.
The eX emperor was conscious to the
end. a almost the last moment. he eX-
hOTted the Countess d Eu. his daughter,
and formerly heiress-apparent to the
Brazilian throne. and her husband. to
bear up against sorrow and to pray with
him for the greatness and prosperity of
Brazil.
The Countess d'Eu has no present in
tentl0n TO protest to the Brazilian gov
eminent against her exile from the
country, but she maintains al her rights
in connection with the crown. She
says she is ready to return to Brazil at
the first summons sent her. The re-
mains Of Dom Pedro will be inferred i'm
the family vault at Lisbon. Before the
body is taken from Paris a solemn re-
QUEEN high mass will be celebrated in
the Church Of the Madeleine.
The GaulOls, the organ Of the Count
OF Paris, urges the government to honor
the late Dom Pedro by giving him royal
obsequies. 1t quotes as precedent for
such action the case OF the ex-king of
Hanover, who. upon his death, was
given funeral marked by all the pomp
and circumstance which attend the
burial of royalty. The newspapers of
all shades of political opinion concur in
their estimation of the dead rulers
character. and they all print articles
highly eulogistic Of him.
Rio DE JANEIRO, Dec. 5.-The news
of Dom Pedro's death was received with
sincere grief by the Brazilians. But,
while all unite in regret for the former
emperor, there Is a deep and strong de-
termination that the empire should
never be revived. Should the Prin-
cess Isabella and the Count d'Eu
make and persist in any demand for the
imperial succession the result will prob
ably be the confiScation OF all the prop
erty Of the imperial family in Brazil.
This would be a serious loss 10 the
princess and her husband, who have
little else to depend on. and make Count
d'Eu hesitate. The count is cordially
hated in Brazil, and it would be danger
Gus for him to attempt to return.
