The Pleasures of fAristocracy.

There is painful seriousness about
the pleasures Of the American aristocrat
that makes her for it is generally the
woman who rules in these matters) q
most interesting-nay, entertaining
subject for the social philosopher. She
must seek her comrades, for example, not
SO much among those whom she likes as
among those whom she must like, and
she must devote herself to amusement
with all the ardor of her soul and all the
vigor of her body.
In the countries where an aristocrat is
born, not made, the members of the Sc
lect body have certain public and useful
functions, and the world is interested in
their play because that is part of the
public ceremonies, but in this happy re-
public, where all are equal, the people
whose social affairs are chronicled in the
press are thus talked about simply be-
cause they play and insist upon believ-
ing that the public is quite as much in
terested in their balls as in the graver
affairs of state, and that it is much more
of an honor to wear the tab of one of
their coteries than to win seat in the
national legislature.
They take themselves very seriously,
and they are partly right. At all events
they do the rest of the world very little
harm, and occasionally, no doubt, have
a good time.-Harper's Weekly.

Why Foam Ia White.

The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to understand,
but the fact is that foam is always white,
whatever may be the color of the bev-
erage itself. The froth produced on q
bottle of the blacklist ink is white, and
would be perfectly so were it not tinged
to certain extent by particles of the
beverage which the bubbles hold in me-
chanical suspension. AS to the cause of
this whiteness, it is sufficient to say that
it is due to the large number of rejecting
surfaces formed by the foam, for it is
these surfaces which, by rejecting the
light, produce upon our eyes the impress
sion of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their colors to the rays of light, which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies which
reflect all the light they receive, without
absorbing any, appear perfectly white,
we shall be prepared to understand how
the multitude of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam, and which do not
absorb any light, must necessarily give
the froth white appearance. 1t is for
the same reason that any very fine pow
der appears white, even the blacklist
marble, when ground to dust, losing
every trace Of its original lcolor.-Thomas
Warwick in Confectioners' Journal.

MAN.

was born as free as the silvery light
That laughs in southern fountain:
Free as the sea fed bird that nests
On Scandinavian mountain;
Free as the wind that mocks at the sway
And pinioning clasp of another
Yet in the slave they scourged today
saw and knew-my brotherl
Vested in purpleI sat apart,
But the cord that smote him bruised me;
closed my ears, but the sob that broke
From his savage breast accused me;
No phrase of reasoning judgment just
The plant of my soul could smother,
A creature vile, ahased to the dust,
knew him still-my brother.
And the autumn day that had smiled so fair
Seemed suddenly Sverclouded;
A gloom more dreadful than nature owns,
My human mind enshrouded;
thought of the power benign that made
And bound men one to the other,
And felt in my brothers fear afraid
And ashamed in the shame of my brother.

How the Worlds Fair Is Advertised.

No enterprise in the history of the
world has ever been SO thoroughly adver
tised as the Worlds fair. The depart.
ment of publicity and promotion is re-
sponsible for this. Interesting matter is
collected and collatc@ by competent
writers and put into type in several Ian
guages. The progress of the work is re-
corded every week. The regular sup
ply of news is sent to $4,000 newspapers,
10000 journals and periodicals and 5000
class or trade papers. From the mailing
room of the department of publicity and
promotion have gone forth the itho
graphs and other papers which have be-
come so familiar to the public. For sew
eral months there was an average distri-
button Of over 90, 600 pictures per month.
The average number of electrotypes now
supplied to newspapers is over 800 n

they may desire in connection with the

Il suppose that 1 owe my appointment,
for the most part, to the great affection
in which this part of the world holds my
grandfather, the late George w. Patter-
son, who was an intimate friend and po-
litical ally of Thurlow Weed, William
HI. Seward and such men. He held many
offices, besides being repeatedly speaker

Why a Man Joins n Club.

Within few years the craze for clubs
has extended to all classes of society and
both sexes until almost every man and
boy in the community is a member Of
some club. and many ladies have their
clubs at which to meet their friends and
talk over the fashions or more serious
matters. When the craze took the peo-
pie they seemed to think it was some
thing in the way of enjoyment which
they had overlooked, while business men
found in it a new and quick way of COM
munication with customers and a con-
tinuance of business through the evening
as well as during the hours of daylight.
The club served also to the men of bust
ness as a means of acquaintance with men
whom they might not otherwise meet
without considerable difficulty, and who
might, by rubbing against each other,
serve each others purposes or profit.
1t is striking fact that in many cases
the names of our most remarkable clubs
are misnomers, misleading to the unini-
tiated, and the real objects of the gather
ing a mystery to the members. A man
joins a club for reasons of his own,
which are enjoyment, seclusion from the
outer world, independence, conviviality
and select acquaintance. He wants a
place at which he may meet friend-he
wants the tone of the club and the priv
ilege Of rubbing against whom he re-
CARDS as his superiors in many things,
particularly business and wealth-and
he doesn't care about the objects of the
organization if there be any other than
what he is there for. New York Times.

True love is like the ivy bold,
That clings each day with firmer hold;
That groweth on through good and ill,
And mid the tempest clingeth still.
What though the walls on which it climbs
Have lost the grace of former times?
Will then the ivy lose its hold,
Forget the sunny days Of old?
Nay, rather will it closer cling
With loving clasp, remembering
That 1t had hardly lived at all
Without the kindly, shelt'ring wall.
True love is like the ivy green,
That meier forgetteth what has been.
And so till life itself be gone,
Until the end 1t clingeth on.
What though the tree where it may cling
Shall hardly know another spring2
What though its boughs be dead and bare2
The twining ivy climbeth there
And clasps it with firmer hold,
With stronger love than that of old,
And lends it grace it never had
When time was young and life was glad.

Deadly Prussic Acid.

Prussic acid is composed of such things
as animal refuse and blood solids, with
large quantities of oil of vitrol. Even
the smell of the acid produces pain in
the throat and in the region of the heart,
and there are few poisons for which there
is such little opportunity for an antidote
If there is time, and there seldom is, for
the poison is almost instantaneous in its
action, ammonia inhaled very freely may
give relief and reduce the absolute GER
tainty of death to grave probability

Steadily his eyes rested upon the face
