Liyeliness I'm the Reichstag.

IBy AngIo-American cable 70 inc DIspatch.I
BERLIN, February 12.-There was lively
scene in the Reichstag to-day brought
about during the discussion OF the railway esti-
mates. Herr Sturm. the 1mperalist, supported
the Government In dismssng Socialist agitators
from state workshops. Herr Bebel, the Socialist.
violently denounced Sturm's views and heated
debate followed. Herr kardorf demanded more
stringent laws controlling newspapers, clubs,
and public meetings, In order, he said, "to pre-
vent the state from falling IN the hands OF SOCIAL
ists.' Herr Barth said II was clear that the
members OF the Right wanted "to provoke q
conflict, probably leading to civil war" AT this
iuncture the debate was adjourned.

Making an Aurora Borcalis.

In 1882 two astronomers, NJ. De La
Rine and NJ. Lenstrom, made expert
ments in the mountains of Finland
which clearly prove the aurora borealis
to be of electrical origin. NJ. De La
Rine says: I'VE surrounded a noun
tain peak with a coil of copper wire,
pointed at intervals with tin nibs. We
next charged the wire with a strong
current Of electricity, and every night
during our stay produced a beautiful
display Of the aurora, n of the main
characteristics Of this display being a
~yellowish white light on the tin points
of the wire, which the spectroscope
analysis proved to be the greenish yell
low rays known in nothing else except
the aurora borealis. The main part of
the auroral display was usually about
80 yards above the copper oil."-Phila-

A Sucrestion About Dinners.

The next time you give a dinner give
a good one. Do not feel that because
you can afford it your dinner must on
sist Of complex, mysterious, rich, indi-
gestible dishes. No one wants them.
All men hate them. When a man goes
to a restaurant he never orders such a
medley for himself. He never wishes
them on his own table. Few women
care for them, andnOt one person in fifty
can digest them with comfort. AL
though such dinners are very common
in New York, they are not given be-
cause we desire or respect them, but be-
cause we are a rich and vulgar people
without the ability to realize our vul-
garity.
There are many people III this city,
and happily the class is growing, who
have the good taste and courage to offer
a simpler dinner to their guests. Such
dinners can be as long and as dainty as
the most fastidious may desire, and they
are infinitely more satisfying. Try t.
bear in mind that a dinner consisting of
complex and mysterious dishes is only a
development of American vulgarity.
When a woman gives such a dinner you
are correct in supposing that either her
own taste is vitiated and false or that
she does it because she thinks it 1.-The
proper thing" In either cas- it indi-
Gates the presence of more money than
intelligenCe.-Llfe.
