Lirinq Lanterns.

A young Mexican, carrying perfor-
sted tin box, which resembles an old
fashioned lantern, stroIled along West
Fifty-ninth street one evening recently,
says the New York Times, and stopped
in fiont Of the Hotel Pomeroy. From
the lantern came beautiful yellowish
green light, such as no candle could pos
sibly give. A number Of gentlemen
were sitting on the hotel porch, and the
boy with lantern stepped up to them
and said:
"Mexican bugs. sirs. Fifteen cents
apiece; two for quarter
He then threw back his coat and dis.
closed several large beetles secured to
his vest by light threads tied about their
bodies. Each beetle carried two power
ful searchlights on the dorsal surface Of
its thorax, placed so AS to throw the
light directly in front OF its eyes. When
the beetles were left undisturbed for a
little while the light dwindled away to
y mere point, but It glowed again when
they were touched with the finger The
tin box contained fully fifty more speci.
mems. Il was their combined light
which Illuminated the novel lantern.
The young Mexican took several Of
the beetles from the box and made
them parade up and down the walk to
display their lights to better advantage.
AT the same time their cousins, the ire
flies we're glowing among the trees over
in Central Park. The boy called the
beetle cucujo. The sales were rapid,
and soon everv one was asking how
long they would live and what to feed
them on.
"Give them ripe fruit" the hoy said,
and they will live till cold weather
comes"
He explained further that his uncle
had brought six hundred up from the
South to sell in New York and Chicago
The beetle is the Pyrophorus noctil.
ucus of Central America and the West
Indies. IL belongs to the family Of the
elateride. 1t is called cucujo, fire beetle
and spring beetle. The last name refers
to irs power to throw itself by quick
movement of its spine to its feet when it
is placed on its back.
The light comes from two oval tuber-
cules on the dorsal surface Of the thorax
and from the under surface Of the seq.
ments Of the body. In the southern
countries the natives sometimes use them
as ornaments for the hair. They are al
so confined in glass vessels and are act.
ually nsed to light rooms. A single
beetle, ii held close to the page, will
enable one to read fine print.

SPEED lessons DANGER.

.4ens Fast Trains May Be Safest.

With Proper Construction and Equip
.4enE Fast Trains May Be Safest.
1t may be said that in constantly de-
handing more rapid facilities of travel
people invite a corresponding increase
Of the pate of danger to be encountered;
but, according to a writer in the Engi=
neefing Magazine, it is very doubtful
if this proposition can be maintained
The Facts go to prove, rather, that
faster trains develop more care on the
part of the railroad people, and that
there is really little, if any, more La
bility to accidents On such ACCOUNT. AS
rule the 'sWnd Irishman" and "Fly-
ing Dutchman" and Cannon BalF'
trains are run on schedules so arranged
as to insure the utmost degree Of
safety, so far as all ordinary contin-
gencies are concerned. Their success
depends largely upon this point, and
the railroad companies we'll under-
stand that they cannot afford to
take any ayeidable risk. The de-
mand for increased speed carries with
it the demand for increased prudence.
Fast trains must have men of superior
SKILL Iillll CduUIOll NV AltI9CC
they must have good permanent way
80 move upon, and they must be pro-
vided with oil known appliances for
security and comfort. The general eff
feet, in short, is to improve the rail
road system in all respects, and to
eliminate from it the carelessness and
incompetency that would be a source
of fixed peril under the slowest of fixed
time schedules. There must always be
more or less danger on a railroad train,
but it is by no means sure that any
thing is gained in the way of safety
by taking train which runs twenty
miles an hour instead of one which
goes five times as rapidly. On an Eng
lish railway q high rate of speed is
maintained, and this, when kept at
regular rate, unchanged by numerous
stops, is found to be safer than the
slower rate, stopping often and sub
jecting machinery to conclusions and
jerks in starting and stopping, which
disorder parts of the train more than
is done by the uniform velocity of high
speed. The writer has covered the
space of five miles at the rate of seven
ty miles an hour, and, notwithstand-
ing this extraordinary speed, there was
an entire absence of oscillation. So
tar as any motion OF the cars was con-
cerned, it was impossible to tell
whether they were going at the rate
of seventy miles an hour or twenty.
The multiplication of fast trains there
fore is thing to be commended and
encouraged, and the railroad authori-
ties are wise to make them as fast as
they can within reasonable limits of
forethought and precaution.

AS 1T SHOULD BE TAUGHT.
The Sound Views of Intelligent Edu-
Gator on the English Language.

The Sound Views of an Intelligent Edu-
Gator on the English Language.
The following extract from Prof. e. G.
Robinson's article in the Homiletic Re-
view presents in compact form truth
that is becoming more and more evil
dent each day, and one that applies not
alone to the education of ministers:
1.-The most manifest defect in our sys-
tenn of education is it's insufficient at
tention to the English language, not
merely to the science and genius of it
as embodying one of the richest liter
atures and as being the most widely
spoken tongue in the world, but to
such study of it and practice of
it as will give to the student correct
and facile and iorcible use of it in the
expression of his thoughts. 1t is hard
ly possible to overestimate the value of
mastery of English in any calling
that requires the use of it in infiu-
encing the thoughts of others, but in
preparing for the Christian ministry or
almost anything else whose chief func-
ton consists in endeavoring to move
others to right action by public adj
dress, the attainment of this mastery
should yield precedence to the attain-
ment of no other. And yet, strangely
enough, candidates for the ministry
and law and journalism and author
ship are taken in hand and for ten
years are scientifically drilled in a va
riety of subjects, some Of which they
never so much as once again recur to
when done with them as students, sell
ing the textbooks they have been COM
PEELED to use; while of English, on
their use of which their final failure or
success will SO largely depend, they
are mainly left to acquire their knowl-
edge in any haphazard way they can,
receiving at most, at the very time
when most needing it, only such in-
structions as may be gathered from
brief study of some college textbook
in rhetoric and from writing q few
compositions, on which the professor
in rhetoric scratches in red ink scant
words of general criticisms; and so they
stumble on in their course, reaching
the theological seminary or law school
only when it is too late for the profess
sor (of homiletics) to do for them what
ought to have been done for them all
the way along from the start, and what
no amount of instruction OF personal
effort can then do for them. In no sim
gle respect are established methods of
education so glaringly and SO radically
defective as in rhetorical discipline.
For no one department of instruction
do coiieges-not one, but all of them
make SO inadequate preyision in the
number of teachers: in none are the
results of the instruction, on the
whole, Sc unsatisfactory. In no grad
yates are these results more painfully
apparent than in the occupants of our
pulpits, and law chairs, and legislators
and writer's in all departments.

Fashions.

Sleeves have reached their limit and
the most approved models are less bal
loon like than heretofore.
A popular combination is very fine
French cloth with sleeves, belt and
shoulder ruffles of shaded velvet.
Shaded velyets are quite as popular
for summer as they we're during the
winter. AS millinery trimmings, when
judiciously used, nothing car be more
elegant and desirable.
New jackets have sleevs large enough
to accommodate the enormous puffiness
of the dress shoulders, and while this,
of course, accen!uates the size of the
arm, that fact seems to be no objection.
Parasols seem to have become merely
forms on which to exhibit the most
enormous quantities of lace and other
thin materials. The amount of goods
that may be put into one of the fashion
able parasols of the day is almost past
belief.
Lace aud embroidery, embroidered
lace especially will be among the lead
ing trimmings for the summer. There
seems to be no limit to the ways in
which these beautiful garnitures are
used, as something new is brought out
almost every day.
The revival that promises decided
popularity is the old time long skirted
basque which is not unlike the Chester.
field jacket of twenty-five or thirty
years ago. The lower edge OF the
jacket is trimmed with fat fold or may
be finished with passementerie or
merely left plain and stitched, according
to fancy.

years, and knowing its reliability, he
procured 25 cent bottle, two doses of

Sunshine is good for everything but

The best number of persons to each
bed is-one.
Away with heavy hangings, either
above or below the bed.
Beware of dusty, musty carpet
better sweetness and bare floor.
Do not fail to provide some mean:
for ventilation during the night.
Keep the head cool while sleeping
but not by draught of cold air falling
upon it..
If a folded bed must be used contrive
some way to keep it aired and whole
some.
Let the pillow be high enough tc
bring the head in natural position
no more and no less.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room
every day; air the beds and bedding a.
often as possible.
A dark, out oi'the-way. unwhole-
some corner is no more fitted for a sleep
ing-room than for parlor.
A feather bed which has done service
for generation or two is hardly de-
sirable thing upon which to sleep.
