VIRTUES OF THE LEMON A writer
who seeks to mitigate the suffering
caused by excessively hot weather by
describing how to make simple and
cooling drinks suitable for the summer
season, incidentally pays tribute to
the great virtue of the lemon, and
medical authority has promptly writ
ten a letter confirming this commend
alton of the cooling fruit, and urging
it's more frequent use in lieu OF strong
medicines, which often do more harm
than good He says that although
most people know the value of glass
of lemonade before breakfast, few
know that the benefit is more than
doubled by taking another al night
also. A better way to fight bilious
attack than powders or quinine is to
take the juice of one, two or three
lemons in as much water as would
make it pleasant to drink without su-
gar before going to bed. In the morn
ing ON rising, at least half an hour be-
fore breakfast, take the juice of one
lemon in a tumbler of ordinary or soda
water.

THE PREVALENCE OF PROFANITY


THE PREVALENCE OF PROFANITY.
Not long since a conductor on a
street car in Boston was dismissed
from his position for using profane
language. This was a praiseworthy
measure which if initiated would go
far toward Kidding our streets and
shops of perniciOus pest. The hab-
ituaIly profane man is that and moth
ing less. Blasphemous and sinful as
is the impulsive profanity of anger, it
is more than equalled in degrading
moral effects by the oath banded
about in ordinary intercourse; mean
ingless use of sacred terms exposing
any emotion the speaker feels at that
moment. This is an evil luminous and
debasing because it becomes mental
habit so that the foul-mOuthed speak
er is nearly or quite unconscious that
he is swearing. The English language
cannot be charged with a paucity of
terms to express ideas with force,
cIearness and refinement. The man
habitually prOfane in cool ordinary
temper stands convicted of a meagre
vocabulary, lack of refinement and
soul that respects not God nor man.
In this city one can hardly pass
along the street without having his
ears assailed by oaths applied in cold
blood to the commonest things. The
effect on children is the worst feature
next to the deadening influence al
ready described. A man in rage ut
tering a volley of oaths is to the CHILD
as a mailman and SO avoided, bu
when he hears sacred names taken il
vain every hour in the Indifferent
way, he quickly becomes hardened t.
it and too soon initiates.
Language marks the gentleman
more than broadcloth. The sam
language for home and street is thu
code of the true gentleman.

HOW QUEEN VICTORIA TRAVELS.

MANY times | have seen items in the
American papers which said that the
queen of England travelled very plain

saw that these reports are based upon
no authentic evidence. An official of
the Midland Road took me into the
Queens carriage as it stood in st. Pan
cras station, and 1 must say 1T is as
fine as any Pullman car ever built
and that is saying a good deal. The
walls of the saloon are of satin-wood
highly polished. The cushions are of
white silk embroidered in gold thread.

At her hand is a silver plate in which

which she can call her different at

partment, besides a satin-wood table
about six feet long and three feet
wide. upon which were piled the
latest English, French, German and
American periodicals. The carpet is of
velvet, and is in a good state ofpreserv-
alton, considering it has been in use
over fifteen years. The curtains at
the windows and portiere are hung
on silver poles. The door handles are
solid silver, and the whole saloon has
the appearance of solid luxury. Vic

which are said to pattern aftor the
white drawing room at Windsor castle.
The whole saloon with fittings cost
between $50, 900 and S35, 900. The car
rage is about half the length of an or
binary railroad car. At first sight the
carriage impressed me as being gaudy,
but this idea wore away in moment.
The railroad official informed me
that the queen paid about $50 per
mile for travelling, besides first class
fares for every one of her party. As
the official from whom L received my
information was in a position to know,
this explodes other reports that the
queen and her suite always travel

for a few days; during his absence one of his
children contracted severe cold, and his
wife bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for it. They were so much pleased

-Four ECCENTRIC Beanests.

The friends Of an Irish miser, who sus-
pected that the deceased had boarded a
great sum of money, were filed with aston
ishment and disgust when the following
testamentary document was read: II give
and bequeath to my sister-in-law, Mary
Dennis, four old worsted stockings, which
she will find underneath my bed; to my
nephew, Charles Mccartney, two other
pairs of stockings, lying in the box where
/ keep my linen; to Lieutenant johnson, OF
his maiesty's Fifth regiment of foot, my
only pair of white cotton stockings and my
own scarlet greatcoat; and to Hannah
Bourke, my housekeeper, in return for her
long and faithful services, my cracked
earthen pitcher"
Hannah first found her tongue, and tell
ing the other legatees that she relinquished
all claim to her valuable share of the prop
erty, retired in anger from the scene. In
equal rage Charles kicked the pitcher after
her, when, as the crock broke, out tumbled
great number of golden guineas. The
other legatees Immediately searched for
their stockings, etc, and to their great Joy
found them all to be crammed full of
money.-All the Year Round.

Darwin,s Enthusiasm.

In the summer of 1860 Darwin, then fifty
one years old, was 'idling and resting" as
he says, at the house of his sister-in-law.
Two species of Drosera, or sundew-plants
which are common in eastern North
America-were abundant in the neighber-
hood, and he noticed that many insects
seemed to have been entrapped by the
leaves.
This observation led him to make some
experiments, and as he wrote to DR.. Asa
Gray, the eminent botanist, he soon be
came infinitely amused" at his results.
In the following November he wrote to
Sir j. D. Hooker, 81 have been working
like mailman at Drosera," and in letter
to Sir Charles Lyell, few days later, he
says, 81 will and must finish my Drosera
manuscript, which will take me week,
for at present care more about Drosera
than the origin of all the species in the
world"
But the manuscript was kept for fifteen
years, and finally brought out in 1875.
Meanwhile, he had written and publish
ed his work on 1.-THE Expression of the
Emotions in Man and Animals" but had
not forgotten his beloved Drosera." SIT

Gray, cor rather most sagacious animal.
will stick up for Orosera to the day Of
my death"
1t was enthusiasm of this kind, held in
check by sound judgment, which made
Darwin so brilliantly successful as a scien-
tiic experimentation Companion.

ponds upon the circumference of its driv-
ing wheels and their speed. No matter
what the rate of speed may be, for every
one round of the driving wheels locomo-

cylinder, the cylinders being double. The
sizes of driving wheels vary, some being
eighteen, nineteen, twenty and even TWEEN
ty-two feet in circumference, although
they are generally made of about twenty
feet. The express speed varies from fifty
four to ffty-eight miles an hour.
Taking the average circumference of the
driving wheel to be twenty feet and the
speed per hour fifty miles, locomotive
will give, going at express speed, $50 puffs
