EmbezzIement Of 1000. 900 FIorins Kept Sc
cret for Fear OF Disgracine officials.
BUDA PEsTH, Dec 27.-The exposure of
the frauds in the Department of Education
aud Public Instruction. through which the
department lost 100000 forms. was made
IN q newspaper published az Grossw ARDEN.
The paper affirms that two of the leading
officials in the Trefort Ministry discovered
that the money had been embezzled. but
were afraid to pose the thefts. owing to
the high positions held by the parents of
the embezzlers. The paper itself refrains
from giving the names OF those who took
the money. When Minister Trefort died he
was succeeded by Count Czaky. who
learned of the embezzlelent. but who did
not take any action in the matter for the
same reason that impelled the others who

lent. Members of the government allege
that the 4.O0o.O 900 forms deficit was not
caused by fraud. but was o simple shortage
due to g bad agricultural season that will
be recouped. Nobody places any reliance
IN this statement.

Facts That Arc Well Worth Careful Con-

There is reason to believe that more
cases of dangerous and fatal diseases
are gradually engendered annually by
the habit of sleeping in small, unventi-
lated rooms than have occurred from a
cholera atmosphere during any year
since it made it's appearance in this
country. Very many persons sleep
in SXlO rooms-that is, in rooms the
length and breadth of which multi

again by 10, for the height of the
chamber, would make just 800 cubic
feet, while the space for each bed, ac-
cording to the English apportionment
for hospitals, is 2,l0O feet, but more in

French hospitals contract for COM

hour, while the English assert that
double the amount, or over 1000 feet.
is required. Four thousand feet of air
each hour!
And yet there are multitudes in the
city of New York who sleep with closed
doors and windows in rooms which do
not contain a thousand cubic feet OF
space, and that thousand feet is to last
all night, at least eight hours, except
such scanty supplies as may be obtained

A girl with very pink cheeks wore

THOUGHTS ARE PICTURES.
When We Think Aloud" We arc Only
Supplying Conversations.

When We Think Aloud" We arc Only
Supplying Conversations.
Thought is conducted principally by
means of series of more or less imper-
feet mental pictures, and memory OF the
past entirely so.
We cannot formulate an idea or start
train of thought unassisted by some,
perhaps faint, pictorial outline of the
subject thereof. In thinking out an
invention, mechanical or otherwise, we
see mentally the various parts and pict-
ure them in combination.
Rejecting on the past, or anticipa-
ting a future, interview or event, we
have the scene, Or presumed scene,
mirrored on our brain, and as our train
of thought carries us on, that scene
shifts like panorama until some other
train of thought, i. e., another picture,
is led up to it, when it diverges and fol-
lows the second panorama until dis
turbed by others.
The fact that some people "think
aloud" may be considered as tending to
disprove the correctness of this asser-
ton, but really it goes far TO support it.
Those who ''think aloud" are simply
supplying conversation to the actors in
the scene which is passing before their
mental vision.
1t is done unconsciously, and does
not to any great extent assist or even
affect the train of thought-in fact,
thought fits too quickly through the
brain to allow much time for words.
The researches of philologists support
this, for they trace back the word
''think" to thing" the unsubstantial
thought to the, in this case unsubstan.

Dickens has been much criticised for
his apparent acceptance of the fact OF
spontaneous human combustion. BE
this as it may, the late Sir William
Gull, one of the most renowned of Brit

\ remarkable case before the committee
of the house of lords on intemperance
during the summer of 1886. He said:
"a large, bloated man, who was suffering
from difficult I~eathing, died at Guys

following day the body was found to be
greatly distendea with what proved to
be alcoholic gases. When punctures

The Evil In Feminine Dress.

The evil in feminine dress of :o-day
lies not with our rich women, but with
our women of average means. The
wealthy woman rarely overdreases, the
average woman far more often, and she
stamps herself by that very indiscre-
ton. 1t is not the mistress who over
dresses so much as it is her servant who
tries to initiate her. The nice and re-
fined women, the women of taste. ara
not the purchasers of the showy dress
patterns and mistit hats which we see
in the show windows, Just in proper
tion as woman is refined in her
nature is she quiet in her dress. A re-
fined woman never dresses loudly. The
present tendency in red is not followed
by girls and women of refinement. II
is affected by those who forget that red
is the most trying color which q woman
can wear becomingly, and there is no
color of which one SO soon tiros. Only
few women can choose perfect shade
in red, and those are, as u rule, not the
women who wesr it.,-Ladies' Home

Narragansett is looking very bright
and gay this season. Tho roads have
all been fixed up 80 that driving is
good; and since the Village Improve
meut society has got in it's work, and
built that thousand feet of walk on the
ocean front, it has grown very popular
for evening strolls. On Saturday after
noon it was pretty sight to watch the
gay promenaders. There was such a
profusion of color and such an endless
variety of combination that could not
grow weary.
One girl was startling in bright red
of some gauzy material, polka dotted
with black, and big red gauze hat.
Another looked very pretty in a long,
loose gray coat that covered her whole
dress, although caught a glimpse of it
as she walked, and saw that it was
white silk. She wore low white hat,
white chamois gloves and stockings and
low shoes of the same spotless shade.
Behind her came girl in pongee silk,
made up with tiny ruffies of bright
