London Streets in the Time of George II

There were certain dangers and in
conveniences walking along the streets
in London in the Seventeenth century.
The finest dress might be ruined by the
carelessness of dustman or chimney
sweep; the custom of exposing meat on
open bulkheads led to many an irrepar-
able stain of grease. Bullies pushed the
peaceful passenger into the gutter-it
was a great time for street swagger;
BARRIERS blew the flour into wigs at open
doorways, causing violent wrath among
those outside; mad bulls careered up
and down the streets; men quarreled,
made a ring and fought it out before
the traffic could go on; pickpockets were
both numerous and dexterous; footpads
abounded in the open squares of Lin
coins Inn, Bloomsbury, and Portman;
highwaymen swarmed on all the roads;
men servants were insolent and rascally;
the noise in the leading streets was deaf
ening; in shower the way became i'm
passable from the rain spouts in the
roofs, which discharged their contents
upon the streets below.-Walter Besant
in Harper's.

Sacred Cats in Egypt.

Herodotus says that when cat died a
natural death in an Egyptian house the
occupants of the dwelling went into
mourning and shaved off their eyebrows.
When fire occurred they were more
anxious to save the cats than to extin-
guish the confagration. Nevertheless,
in some parts of the same country cats
were regarded as unclean animals--for
creature which was considered sacred
in one town was often viewed with hor-
ror as impure in a neighboring city
That was the case with the crocodile in
Egypt, which in some parts was ruth
lessly hunted and destroyed, while in
others it was made a pet of, laden with
gold ornaments and waited upon by
priests. Washington Star.

Cleaning Buildings by Sand Blast.

The exterior of buildings is now
cleaned by the sand blast. The front is
covered with staging, and the blast is
applied by system of pipes and nozzles
carried by the workmen. The stream
of fine sand issuing from a nozzle re-
moves a layer of 1.64 inch thick from
the surface Of the stone, and a square
foot of surface can be cleaned in ten
minutes. The sand can be employed
over again.-London Nt-Bits.

THE CASE of Sarah Althea Terry is in- deed a sad one, and her condition chal- lenges the pity rather than the con tempt of the fair-minded. Yet her down fall is not altogether due to those who have sinned against her. Her check cred, eventiul history stands out a solemn warning to those of her sex who have the gifts of youthful beauty and brilliancy of intellect. Coupled with discretion, these charming gifts may be the source of happiness, but when, as in her case, they lead to disregard of those well-known requ irements of social life which are the safeguards of virtue and the basis of all that is best and nob- lest in domestic life, they are, indeed, fatal to the possessor. Public scandal, the divorce court, disgraceful notoriety, loss of wor Idly possessions, the insane asylum, is the record of Mrs. Terry's later life, the result of her willful disre- gard of laws that must be respected as we'll as the perfidy of her friends and re- lentless persecution of her enemies. The paths she chose to follow must be avoided by those who would escape her fate.

MRS. osRORNE,s SENTENCE.

The case of Mrs. Osborne, the wife of Capt. Osborne of the British army, who has jus. been sentenced to nine months imprisonment at hard labor, is melancholy one by reason of the social position of the lady, her gener- ally excellent character, and the high standing of her husband, upon whom she has brought sorrow and disgrace. She has stolen valuable jewelry from a friend, and, on being charged with she theft, brought suit against her friend for libel. It was hineous and wicked ofense, vet this same friend, Mrs. liar greaves, stood up in the court of the old Bailey and besought mercy for the prisoner in terms that were almost pit eous, urging in her behalf that she could not believe Mrs. Osborne, whom she had known and loved all her life, was in her right mind when she com mitted the larceny.
 The plea had it's effect. It could not exculpate the prisoner. It could not exempt her from penalty; but Justice Smith admitted that he was induced by the peculiar circumstances of the case to reduce the sentence from the maxi mum punishment of seven years, which is fixed by law for perjury, to the comparatively short period of nine months.
 There are differences of opinion in London as to the sentence imposed, but the preponderant sentiment seems to be that it was none too severe. On no theory excepting that of the ladv's in- sanity could she have been discharged |; and insanity was not set up by the de- fense. On the contrary, Mrs. Osborne made no defense whatever, but con- fessed to the larceny and perjury. It was case in which clemency could not have been extended further without compromising the majesty of the law and the administration of justice. The way of the transgressor is hard, and it should be made no easier for the aristocratic and well-to-do than for the lowly and sorely tempted of the under world.

ON MIR. CHRIST.

The Tucson Citizen last evening makes the following complimentary notice of Pima's "iavorite" son, Organizer Gan alleged retainer) Christ: Geo. Christ, collector of customs for Nogales, is in the city, frantically endearvoring to re- par his broken political fences. He wants to go to Minneapolis and wants to go bad. In his recent political ex. cnrsiOn through the north he announc- ed that the southern district was for him to man. He repeatedly declared to the citizens of Cochise county that he had Pima county in his pocket, and to the citizens of Pima he as often de- clared that Cochise would send solid delegation in his favor to the Terri torial convention. None of these statements were true. Cochise county went like cannon ball against him and Pima county will hit him like bomb-shell. A Christ delegation from Pima county, judging by the present temper of the people, is an impossibility and without the vote of his own county he can never hope to see Minneapolis as an accredited delegate. It is said that he has some hopes of controlling the northern delegation and thus secure his election, but it cannot be done. With the certainty of defeat staring him in the face, he still persists in pressing his fancied claims upon his friends, and they must either shout themselves

furious for them to chew gum or smoke cigarettes. Though my French paren- tage crops out in many places of my dis position, am proud to say that was reared in country where women were honored, respected and feverenced, for their purity and kindhearted womanly ways, so l do not take kindly to the lit erature that prostitutes them into heartless, scheming creatures even though in some cases they deserve it.
 With reference to the chewing gum question, the other day l heard a ra- ther amusing remark made by man on the street and which he had no idea 1 heard. will not call him gentleman for think if he had been one he would not have used the lady's name on the street, even if she did chew gum. did not get the connection but heard him use the expression, "Why she wou Id chew the sidewalk" It made me think about the absolute, actual truth of the assertion, when l remembered that the chewing gum and the asphal- tum pavement were identically the same substances.
 To look up and down the earth will give one the blues sometimes, though it is not very much in line with my system of philosophy to trouble myself about other peoples sins. It looks sometimes as if there was little in life to live for.
 There is quite difference in the peo- pie who have the blues and the other forms of despondency. People who have the blues, think while those who do not leave that for their neighbors to do. The blues drive one to study and is often good for them rather than injuri- ous. One can sit down with whatever author suits the mood and be assured that they are communing with friend and that their thoughts will not be re- peated. Leigh Hnnt said that he kept his closest friends in his library and what a story that sentence tells. They give you good advice. You may take up Pliny, Virgil, Dante. Milton, Shaftsbury, Byron or any of them, and be assured that their consolation and advice has been proven true by cen- turies of experience. They do not tell you one thing to-day and another to- morrow, and they express every thought and feeling that you have ever had. If you are patriotic you will find the same sentiment in Dante; religion, read Mil ton if you feel as if life has gone wrong with you and you want to philosophise, upon the cause and the insignifcauce of the effect, Montaigne will soon con vince you that the whole thing was not worth snap anyway. When your ven- geance is aroused, and you want to hold your head up in the face of adver- sity and the world-to conquer by mere force of will, or die, defiant to the last, there is no one who can teach you bet ter than Lord Byron. There is another side to the matter that follows soon, and one who has never experienced both the extremes, of disposition the blues, and air castle building, does not know either the pain or pleasure of existence. They say that one is visionary and all that, but half of life is ideal anyway and I think:
 When may bright hued prospect
 fades fast beyound our view,
 And nodes which neared fruitiOn prove
 shadowy, untrue
 May we not, in that Dreamland beyond all clouds
 and care, Behold our paradise restored m
 Castles fin the air"
