Paderewskf rs a Hard Worker.

To be a pet Of the public sometimes
has its disadvantages. NJ Paderewski,
for instance, keeps up his reputation only
at the cost of tremendous efforts. To
an interviewer for Black and White he
has confded the fact that he practices
at the piano often for 10 Or IS hours a
day. Once, in New York. he had to work
up eight entirely distinct programmes in
ittle~over as many days, and then it was
a case of II hours practice daily. One
must always be at it, he explains, to
keep the fingers right and the memory
active. The work is certainly firing,
and NJ. Paderewski considers that play
ing billiards-a game he is very fond of
has saved his life by affording him the
necessary relief from his arduous work.
Those crashing blows Of his on the
piano are rot, as some might imagine,
made with the closed fist. Sometimes
they are done with the third finger stiff
ened out, sometimes with the thumb
sideways. He seems to see nothing Won
derful in the effect produced, although
his hands are 50 delicate that an ordi-
narily firm shake makes him vince. It
is true that lie has a forearm such as q
professional strong man might envy, so
perfect is it in its muscular develop

Joined local gymnasium not long ago,
and after watching the members once or
twice going through their exercises came
away with the feeling that he was a full

street alongside Of the Jail, he espied two
women ahead of him walking abreast
and carrying basket of freshly washed
clothes between them. The street being
narrow at this point, they took up the
full width. The young man, being in q
hurry, thought he could save time by
jumping over the basket, but his calcu-
Iaton was not acute enough. and he
kicked some of the wash off. After

4 Powerful Entiseptic.

Extensive researches made upon cor
rosive sublimate by DIR. McClintOck of
London show though the substance is not
valuable germicide-germs withstand
ing its action for some time-it proves
to possess, of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, so that germ treated
with the article. unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, it is probable that spore
of subtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, in 1000. and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not terminate,
owing TO the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it IS not removed.
It is found that corrosive sublimate
forms with cellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc.. with silk, with aIbuminous
bodies, with some part OF bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, chemical compound
that cannot be removed with any amount
of washing in water. Thus sublimate
when acting on germ forms capsule
around it that protects the germ for q
time from the further action of the sub
Innate and in turn forms an impenetra-
BILE barrier to the growth of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may bere-
moved with salines.

Cosmetics Among the Romans.

Ali that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
in the shade by the ancient Romans
All the Latin NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. poets,
naturalists and others-mention it in
one way or another. 1t was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been of those
of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many Of the emperors used
paint moro or less freely. Heliogabalus,
one of the most eccentric, when he en-
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white. In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
of fashion, details of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Tibullus, Ovid, Pro
pertius and the rest Martial speaks of
the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax OF ISABELLA that fears the
sun.
Horace mentions red lead and carnline
as among the articles employed. Jul
venal in one of his satires describes II
paste that covers the faces of wives and
adheres with tenacity to the faces Of hus-
bands. CoQuettes, according to Horace,
used paste prepared from beans, much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given to the use
of cummin. Mandragora is mentioned by
Pliny, and peoples by Ovid.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Fresh Blood From the Country.

The city Of Paris with its envi-
rons boasts nearly one-twelfth of
the total population of France, yet
it does not escape the charge which
lies against SO many other great
cities, of being q huge NAV into
which the best of the national life
is sucked. Only in the slightest
degree is it the parent of the energy
and distinction which it displays
on SO great scale. In the political
field, scarcely one of the distin-
guished men Of the time is Paris
born. The president of the republic
is not, nor is the president of the
senate or Of the chamber; not one
OF the ten cabinet ministers, neither
OF the chief justices, nor Of the at
torney-generals of the higher courts
reckons Paris as his birthplace,
nor does the governor of the Bank
OF France. Somewhat similar re-
suits are obtained by scanning the
lists of distinguished scholars, art
lists, Journalists, soldiers. From
the provinces have come a dispro-
portlonate majority of the men
whose success in life makes Paris
famous. Such facts are more strik-
ing in the case of the French capt.
tai, whose preponderance over the
rest OF the country has been so long
established, than they would be in
a newer country, where the head
long rush to the cities is compar-
atlvely new thing.-N. Y. Evening

A VA DRINKING.
How II Is Made and Used By
Native HayaiiaHs.

The fact that the yearly sale OF
ava licenses is again advertised by
the government is supplemented by
the following brief account of the
manufacture and use of the article
The natives of Hawaii and other
tropical islands Of the Pacific drink
ava chiefly because of its intoxicat-
ing qualities, but some use it for its
medicinal properties. Ava is grown
in high attitudes on the mountain
sides.
There are several kinds Of ava,
but the favorite variety, used by
the kahunas (priests), is the AVA
hiwa. This species brings a high
price, especially when the victims
of the kahuna's arts apply for
such.
The tubers of the ava are first
dug and thoroughly dried in the
sun. When it is dry (although
some natives use it freshly dug
from the ground), it is ready for
use. y group of natives, when
preparing to drink ava, gather
around large container, generally
of wood, and chew small pieces of
the root; when thoroughly masti-
Gated it is elected with the saliva
into the container. The quantity
thus prepared depends upon the
number Of those who intend to i'm
Libe.
Small boys and girls are prefer
able as "awa chewers," but when
these are not at hand, then the old
folks give hand, or rather a jaw.
Some natives pound their ava in
stone mortars with pestles, but the
"good old natives" prefer the chew
ed or mama" ava.
When there is sufficient chewed
ava in the basin, a quantity of |
water is added. The process of
the chewed fibres is
called "hoka AVA" or sewing
'ahuawa.' Sometimes -sisassll-ffo rope is |
ase9..oF straining, until nothing
but the pure liquid is left in the |
basin. After this process is re-
peated two or three times, then the |
ava is ready for use.
After drinking ava, the natives
usually eat bananas, potatoes or
sugar cane, to kill the peculiar
taste. Ava is said to be "ona,"
that js, possessing Intoxicating
qualities. The effects of the in-
toxication generally begin within
an hour and lasts from six to eight
hours. The intoxication produces
much the same affect as opium.

Scotch Wealth.

Probably in no other country in
the world are banking facilities so
extensive as they are in Scotland.
In every town, large or small, there
is branch of one or more of the
great city banks, and even every
village with the least pretension to
size can boast of one. While in
England there is a bank or branch
bank to about every 10000 of the
population, in Scotland there is one
to about every 1000. 1t is obvious
that this extensive system of
branches is well calculated to
gather to one centre the savings of
the community. The banks are
not proud, and they accept at in
terest deposits of sums as small as
G5 and allow current accounts to
be opened sometimes with strifling
balances which in England, as a
rule, would be looked at askance,
and probably turned over to the
savings banks. The depositors in
Scotch banks who have not more
than $500 to their credit on de-
post receipt or on current account
comprise about three-fourths of the
whole number. The result is that
the aggregate banking deposits of a
comparatively poor country, with a
few sources of natural wealth, and
with population of little more
than 100000, exceed e465,OO0,-
600. And it may be observed that
sum equal to perhaps one-third
or one-half as much again has been
placed on deposit by Scotch de-
positors with the banks doing bust
ness in the colonies of the empire.
