lcrinoIlne to Be or Nor to Be.

Mr.. George NJ. Becker, democra-
tic member from Hennepin Co., in
which Minneapolis is situated,
caused a sensation in the Minnesota
Legislature on February 3rd, by in
PRODUCING a bill prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of crinoline.
The vexed controversy concerning
c%rinoline, which has been ragsng in
the papers of late, is due to the
derth of fashion news rather than
to actual facts. While newspaper
fashion writers have busied them.

sequences of the revival of the hoop

against this coming threatening
event, the leading dressmaking
houses of the French capital have
not yet made a single crinollne for
any of their customers. In order
to thoroughly comprehend the &C

Yawning Witnesses.

A few evenings ago half a dozen men
were sitting out in front of the Capital
hotel discussing various topics, when
Judge Yost, of the supreme court, in
telling an anecdote of a trial, remarked
that the witness yawned and he knew
he was lying.
"How did you known was asked.
well, sir, | have seen witnesses lie
and not yawn, but | never knew one to
yawn that he was not telling a lie."
Judge Sims, the member of the legis-
lature from Trigg, remarked, Yes, |
always know a witness is lying when he
yawns."
Senator Dave Smith said, at is al,
most invariably the case"
Judge Wall, the senator from Mason,
came up and corroborated the state
ments of the others, and just then Judge
Brent. of the superior court, joined the
group. When a witness yawns he is
telling a lie, and he knows it,"
Several other lawyers were appealed
to, and all bore out the statements made.
None, however. could explain the phe-
nomenon. Judge Yost was the only one
who had a theory, and that was that
when a fellow was swearing to a lie he
could not face the music, and his en-
barrassment found expression in yawns,

The Juice of the papaw Tree.

In his History of Barbados" Griffith
Hughes mentions that the juice of the
papaw tree is Of SO penetrating a nature
that, if the unripe peeled fruit be boiled
with the toughest old sailed meat, it
quickly makes it soft and tender. Ker-
stem also tells US that boiling meat with
the juice of the papaw is quite a com
mon thing in Quito.
Captain S. P. Oliver, writing in Ma
ture, July 10, 1879, says, "In Mauritius.
where we lived principally on ration
beef cut from the tough flesh of the
Malagasy oxen, we were in the habit Of
hanging the ration under the leaves
themselves, and if we were in a hurry
for a very tender piece of fillet, our cook
would wrap up the undercut of the sir
loin in the leaves. when the newly
killed meat would be as tender as if ii
had been hung for a considerable time"

The Great Rule of Life.

We have to be governed very largely
by tho aaa!ogics of nature whenever we
venture into the realm of the possibili-
ties and the unknown, and there is no
analogy in nature of something being
given for nothing. The seed has to
push through the ground to find the sun;
the tree has to draw its sap up from un-
seen sources to whirl forth its buds: the
bud itself has to force its way through
obstacles of bark and fiber; the bird has
TO build its nest with careful endeavor
and many Journeys ere it feels the little
wings beneath its breast; the gold has to
be mined, the precious stone dug from
the matrix: the diamond has to undergo
fierce processes of grinding and securing
before its facets shine like living light.
Struggle is the rule of life. Were it
otherwise it would seem as though we
might all of us have been put upon the
planet in conditions of luxury and ease
and eminence that would require no
effort on our part, and leave us free for
all the enjoyment the world affords.
But what soft, untempered, worthless
metal we should be in such case! 1t is
the fire that tempers the steel; it is the
hammer that YIELDS it; the grinding,
whirling stone that brings it to an edge.

AT first blush it would soera to be an

At first blush it would soeIa to be an
impossible feat for a pedestrians poor,
defenceless woman, at that-to success
fully bar three entrances to the Brooklyn
bridge. 1t took place on the BROOKLYN
side one morning last week, when the
wage workers were hurrying to the
metropolis, and a large assembly was
kept in a state of suspense for minutes
that seemed ages.
To explain the feat accomplished, you
remember how the entrances are ar
ranged-a ticket Office on either side, be-
tween them two iron parallel bars to
guide you through. Between these rail-
ings is a space through which you pass
on to the "chopping boxes" where tickets
are deposited, but if you have to pur.
chase them you pass between = rall and
the box.
She was a gray haired old lady and she
wished TO buy a ticket. There would
have been less difficulty had it not been
for the umbrella. 1t was thrust under
the old lady's arm as a man poses his
umbrella when going up the 81" stairs
point TO tne rear anu prsasI niSn.
The old lady stepped into the middle
space, and while the umbrella swung
round like a tollgate bar, closing the
space behind her, she reached over to
the ticket Office and calmly proceeded to
open her purse, tumble a roll OF bills,
finally select one and with both arms
stop the passing of pedestrians until a
disguised lot of humanity was damned.
With the umbrella posed like an in
fantryman's bayonet fixed to repel caval-
ny the old lady and her gray hairs held
the fort. At last her pennies and tickets
had been picked up one by one. She
gave way and the crowd surged around
her like the foodtide around q shad pole
in the North river.-New York Herald.

A Poor Folks Garden.

So early were collectors in California,
and SO universal was the interest felt in
Europe over the new plants of the Pa
cific coast, that many trees of sequoias
and other superb conifers were planted
in the parks Of England, France and
Italy long before the discovery of gold.
Wealthy C~alifornians, IS early as 1856,
visiting Europe, were surprised to fi2d
how popular were the brilliant ANIMALS,
Towering shrubs, vines and trees Of
their own state. Returning they often
urged neighbors to cultivate more of the
native plants, but with little effect.
In Alameda county, a plain, unedu-
Gated Englishwoman of Lancashire yeo-
man stock was one of the first persons
in all California to make a home garden
of wild flowers from field and mill. |

Tsnnyson.s Dislike Of Aneodo,...

1t is a curious bit Of the irony of fate
that there should now be rife SO many
tales and anecdotes of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
10 read or to listen to personal incidents
OF other great Q 1t was not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy OF his nature was supersensitive,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives OF others, just as he had a
horror of others looking into his own
life. Yet half of the literature about
the laureate consists of anecdotes, and
OF these q large proportion relates to
that very dislike of publicity. New

The FORMATION Of Heat.

M. Lagrange has communicated To n
Belgian academy o paper on the for7na-
ton of bodies in the universe. In this
paper he expresses the opinion that, be-
fore any expenditure of work, the guam
tity Of heat Of the universe was nil, that
the temperature was gradually raised
above absolute zero at the expense OF
work done by attraction, and hence the
formation OF solid bodies must have pre-
eeded that of liquids and gases; that,
through the gradual condensation OF
matter and consequent enormous devel-
opment of heat, the earth would attain,
at least in the parts near the surface, the
state of huidity necessary to its form and
geological characters; then, as the tenn
p~erature gradually rose with gradual
agglomeration Of matter, a very dense
atmosphere would form, with pressure
diminishing outward, and in a more ad-
vanced phase, the temperature Of this,
after reaching a maximum, would gradu-
ally diminish, causing liquefaction or So
lidifcation of certain matters at first
vaporous, while other solid bodies might
remain suspended in the atmosphere.
Briefly, NJ. Lagrange, in e~lucidation
of the basis of his original and remarka-
BILE theory, as thus set forth, declares
that space is occupied by two substances,
namely: One, attractive, which is mat
ter properly SO called, or material atoms;
the other, repulsive, which occupies the
interatomic space, and from which re-
suits between any two atoms a variable
repulsion exercised at the surface of the
atter.-Philadelphia Ledger.

shall we conclude that the book OF
Job is a history Of anticipated events
in the life of a very worthy man or
is it an allegory? Did God in n
single instance play into the hands
of the adversary, just to convince
HIM without any possible good to
result, or is this account simply a
figure for all mankind to prof by.

"The fire of God is fallen from
heaven and hath burned up the
sheep"
The man Job of us "was perfect
and upright and one that feared
God and eschewed evil }" yet If the
account we have Of him is strictly
true God entered into a compact
with Satan to test the strength of
purpose of puny man.
The argument of the adversary
was doubtless true, that when man
kind are surrounded by all the com.
forts of life, -"Hast not thou made
a hedge about him."-they are less
likely to be censurous, fault finding.
When every attractive gift possible
to be possessed by man Is theirs.
The man or woman must oe very
tase, indeed, who would entertain
a feeling of i~ngratitude toward the
donor OF such blessings. What
does the lesson teach us? Notwith-
standing all shls possessions-honor
property and chlldren-were taken
from him, he eYclaims, "The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away"
| do not question the justice of the
donor, as the narrative reads, the
Almighty says to the Devil, "Be.
hold, all that he hath is in thy
power" | will loan you the use of
the elements that ! command; do
your worst for the time, but don't
touch his person.
Cloven Foot makes good use Of
the license granted him. He left
the poor man as naked as at birth
nothingleft; GIN allthis Job sinned
not nor charged good foolishly."
again there was a day when the
sons of God came to present them
selves before the Lord" Satan,
having failed in the attempt, wish
ing to experiment again, was pres
ent at the meeting, "aad the Lord
said unto Satan, hast thou consider
ed my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a per
feet and an upright man, INT that
feareth God and escheweth evil, and
still he holdeth fast his integrity,
although thou movest me against
him to destroy him without cause"
If "God cannot be tempted with
evil" what does this mean?-moved
to destroy him without canse by
Satan himself.
But / digress. Job had a wife,
"The Joy of his life"-little com.
fort though IN his case, for in stead
OF standing by him to help and us
tam, when the only comfort he had
was the price of crockery to scratch
with, she says: "Dost thou still
retain their integrity; curse God
and die"
Job looks up meekly from the
ashes and remarks, Thou spsakest
us one of the foolish women speak
eth. What shall we receive good at
the hand of God and shall we not
receive evil" evidently sustaining
the theory that the Creator of all
things must be the personal author
OF what is termed evil as well as
good.
