An .Anecdote of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
"hard to be understood" exercises ON
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally jostled
against all Irish navy, who, being in u
quarrelsome mood, seemed inclined to
attack the poet. A crowd of ragged SYM
pathizers began to gather, when Shell
ley, calmly facing them, deliberately
pronounced:
81 have put my hand into the ham
per- have looked OH the sacred barley.
I have eaten out of the drum. l have
drunk and am we'll pleased. have said
Knox Ompax, and it is finished. y
The effect was magical. The aston
ished Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. 'What bar
ley?'' "Where's the hamper?' "What
have you been drinking?' and Shelley
walked away unmolested.- Junior.

THE "BLOOD LIST"

An Interesting but Uncanny Relic of the
French Revolution.
An interesting but uncanny relic OF
the French revolution was discovered
among the papers Of an autograph col
lector in Berlin. It was called the
Blood List and contains the name,
standing and age of those persons put to
death in Paris between March, 1893,
and June %, 1874. There were 1,514
in ALL On the margin of the pages op-
posite each name are few remarks CIV
ing the reasons for the death of the par
ticular person, and few of his or her
characteristics. Here follow some of the
passages from the "Blood List" which
was afterward published i'll the Alma
mach de Revolution:
April 19.-Catharine Clere, servant, because
she wished king.
April 28.-Mangol cab driver, 81 years old.
He had said in q cafe that the nation consisted
of lot Of ragpickers, criminals and thieves !;
it was necessary to have a king.
Dec. 2.-Suder, shoemaker, from London -
years old, because of his bad Shoes
Dec. 9.-Vanlenyver Of Amsterdam, banker;
crime of himself and SONS, riches
Jan. 1.-Vauchempute, clergyman, ~ years
old; he had preserved i'll his room some blood
of Louis WI.
JAM 2-(;ustinc, the son, :noble young man,
rs years old, who was minister plenipOtentiary
in Berlin in 1871, where every one loved him.
April 13.-Arthur Dillon, general of division,
43 years old, was known as 'thc beautiful Ar
thur" and was formerly 4 favorite of the
court
Dec. 24.-Curoline Adam, widow Cravand,
from Berlin.
On the list, who were, however, miss
ed, are also u young actrice OF the

Future States of the Union.

Next Fourth of July the flag Of the
United States will contain As stars
Utah will be the forty-fifth state. 1t is
only allowable to add to the number of
stars in the flag Oh the Fourth of July
next following the admission Of a new
territory to statehood.
When Utah is represented as state
in congress, there will be 80 United
States senators. Where we shall put all
our great men at Washington begins to
be matter for serious thought. 1t will
not be long till New Mexico and Arizona
must be admitted, and soon after them
will come Oklahoma. With their ad
mission we shall have So senators. To
make the number all even hundred it has
been suggested that Alaska will be
knocking at the door after awhile, and
before she is ready Hawaii will be gen.
tly waited into the Union of States the
Union of hearts, - If they all talk as
much as the present senate has done,
our upper legislative house will be in
session all the time.
Utah is at present we'll fitted to be a
state Polygamy is dead. Saints and
gentiles out there are making money.
Utah believes that in few years she
will raise beet sugar enough to supply
more than half the country-at least
she will raise the beets. Her mineral
output in 1898 was $l4, 600, 900, and
for 1894 the summing up will be still
larger She has at present more inhabit-
ants within her borders than Wyoming,
Nevada and Idaho combined have On
the whole, Utah will do

If the number of children could be
summed up who are burned to death
every winter by being locked in the
house while their parents go away to
spend the evening, the list would appall
a mothers or fathers heart A tragic
addition to it comes from village
in Pennsylvania A beautiful little
girl whom her parents had put to bed
and locked up while they went to pay a
visit walked late in the evening and
slipped down stairs in her tiny bare feet
to watch for Santa Claus to come down
the chimney. While she sat close to the
stove her cotton clothing blazed up, and
before the Christmas morning sun rose
the lovely child was dead. With this
tragic lesson always in their minds dur
ing the years to come the ohild's father
and mother will hereafter know what
no parents should for one l..,nlent for
get-that it is never safe to lock children
in house and then go away and leave
them alone.

The risk Of marrying widow with
property was signally illustrated the
other day. A woman in New York who
had been married twice died. When her
will was opened, it was found that the
second husbands name was not men
toned in it at all. The lady had evil
IDENTIFY seen the folly Of second marriages,
and her heart in her last days had gone
out to her first man. At any rate, she
requested in her will that every cent of
the money she left at her death should
be used in putting up tomb upon her
burial lot. Said tomb was to contain
sepulchers for just three persons-name-
ly, herself, her first husband, whose body
she requested should be removed from
where it had reposed since his lamented
death, and Ler son, those three and no
more. The affection she cherished for
the second man seems to have been out
of whack somehow.

The kius who Hated Dust.

The modem war ON disease microbes
| has not even yet reached the height d
which 1t was carried 200 years ago BY 4
famous ruler, the father Of Frederick II
Of Prussia. Eleotor Frederick William
was crank ON the subject Of dust. II
is refreshing as a cooling breeze in q
weary land to read Of him. He Mortified
the high court dignitaries and knocked
cold all the traditions Of the ages BY re-
moving the padded and upholstered fur
nitu1s from the royal mansion. He
would not have o carpet upon floor, q
cushion upon chair, hanging upon a
bed. In the befrilled and horrible fash
ion beds were kept then, like bunk in
q modern sleeping car, this innovation
must have caused Frederick William
subjects to regard him as crazy, at least
they would have done so il they had
dared.
The elector bathed himself several
times day. He sat only upon hard
wooden chairs and made life burden
to those who had the care of his house.
hold by nagging them constantly about
busting clean. And now after all these
generations sanitary science finds that
Frederick William was exactly right.
Furniture, especially in sleeping rooms,
should be of wicker, bamboo and wood,
and the less of any kind the better. Iron
bedsteads, of which there are now most
artistic ones finished in white enamel
and brass, are to be preferred to all
Others
The elector demanded fresh air, oceans
of it, and he would have it. His life
was as hardy, robust and clean as hu-
man beings could be. The luxury of
soft cushions into which one sinks as into
oblivion may be pleasant to the touch.
Yet every one Of those cushions is dust
catching continuance and disease trap
So are heavily upholstered chairs and
sofas Those internal machines called
folding beds, in which the outside is a
cushioned couch and the inside hollow
that holds all the bedding and keeps ii
shut in from the air, are warranted to
produce typhoid fevers and consumption
if they have their way long enough.
Frederick William would not have re-
garded his life as worth months pur-
chase if he had had to sleep upon one Of
them. The drift of civilization is away
from stuffed and padded furniture and
toward the simple, light and easily
cleansed furnishings of the Japanese.
When sanitation takes the place Of med
ication, then the race will be beautiful,
healthy and happy.

All About Tinctumutants.

DR.. James Weir Jr., tells us in The
Popular Science Monthly that the the
DRY that fermentation from light is u
causation of determination is no longer
tenable. This is thrilling news indeed.
We are now at loss. We always
thought it was. What to do now for a
theory of the causation of tinctumuta-
ton we do not know.
A frog is tinctumutant, the professor
tells us. Froggie's epidermis is composed
of pavement epithelium and cylindrical
cells. If you look at the web of his foot
through all achromatic lens, you can
plainly make out his chromatophores.
If you pinch the chromatophores, they
will turn brown. No wonder. In con-
nection with this branch of his subject
the professor informs US, further, OF
discussion among two learned scientific
gentlemen which is calculated to irritate
their chromatophores and make them
fairly turn green. Professor Paul Bert
declares that a young axolotl cannot
form its chromatophores if reared in a
yellow light. Professor Semper, Oh the
other hand, vows that Bert's axolotls
are albinos. By way of making some
explanation, which the reader needs,
Professor Weir assures us that the chro-
matophores are not at all the same as
the chlorophyl bodies. This information
is of weighty Importance to the destinles
of the human race.
For the benefit of those who do not
carry a Webster's Unabridged along to
work with them in their kit Of tools 1t
may be remarked that Professor Weir IS
writing about creatures which change
their color to match whatever substance
they are resting upon for the time be-
ing.

Salt as. y Remedy.

Common salt as remedy for throw
ague,' that distressing form of head
ache, has lately been extolled by some
physicians. The idea i'll increasing the
amount of the salt used with the food
was that of augmenting the hydrochlo-
rio acid in the juice Of the stomach
at least considerable success is claimed
for this remedy, which, however, 1t is
needless to say, will not operate success
fully in all cases. BY the way, smiling
little finely powdered salt up the nos
tril Of the affected side has been found
to cure the pain in neuralgia of the face.

by the gasping porter, who finally lay
prone on the stone staircase frantically
holding on to the vanishing coattails.

plaintive tones, ''come back and read
the notice. You'll see daren't let you
pass with that book. I'll lose my place
if you're seen with it. Do, sir, please

The notice is to the effect that all
books carried into the library are to be
left in the porter's charge and called for
on coming out. The idea is to prevent
readers walking off with books of the
library. If without one coming in and
with one going out, it's easy to know
they're appropriating library property.

GUS books We're removed, as it was not
easy to accost reader and demand
whether or not book in his possession

party, not satisfied with managing al

ton and dealing out to the pupils as
much theological instruction, as it saw
fit. reached ont also for the control of
the board schools, which were unde-
nominational and had no religious teach
ing beyond the mere reading OF the BIZ
BILE, which the London board has not
discarded. In the large cities Of Amer
lea, owing to the great admixture Of pu-
pills of different race and religion, read
ing the Bible in public schools has been
mostly abolished.
But the church school party in Great
Britain determined that even Jews
should be forced to accept the Trinity
and the sacrifical atonement. So more
than a year ago an order was issued by
a school officer named Diggs that in
struction on these points should be given
in the board schools, and that the teach
ers themselves should subscribe to the
doctrines or lose their places.
Then the war began. The party favor
ing the doctrinal teaching were called
Clericals. Those opposing it were called
Progressives. The Clericals attempted
to get control by having themselves
elected members Of the school board. A
majority sufficiently heavy would en-
able them to down all opposition and
put the religious test upon the teachers
as we'll as to put the doctrinal points
named into the school course. They had
q majority OH the old board and hoped
to get still stronger one on the one
elected recently. In this, however, they
failed. On the former board the Cleric
ais had majority of II. In the new
one, owing to the lively discussion pro-
voked by their course, this has been cut
down to three. There are 20 Clericals
and 26 Progressives.

Actors Protective Union.

Our theatrical friends hope through
this organization to do much to help
themselves They want to ''protect the
actor from the blood money system in
operation at various employment agen-
cies,' as we'll as to drive freaks, scan
dial heroes and heroines and prizefght-
ers off the stage. The union has the
best wishes of all the public, which is
SO much indebted to the theatrical pro-
tession for happy hours in this weary
world. The public hopes its founders
will succeed in their ambition both to
improve the con ition Of actors finan-
cially and to elevate the stage morally
and artistically. Ill
But in order to improve their condi-
tion pecuniarily actors must begin to
work on themselves. Whether reckless
ness in money matters is necessary at
tendant on the artistic temperament is
not clear, but the fact stands that actors
are generally wildly iVprovident. So
true is this that it is almost a reproach
to him in the minds of his fellow ac-
tors when one Of them lays up some
money Many seem somehow to feel a
grudge at him. They are rather apt to
consider him a miser and curmudgeon.
They will say Of him, eff any man ever
saw old Blank spend a dollar, that man
is dead They seem to think that it is
a credit to their genius to fling every
dollar to the winds as f;lst as they get
it, and even before they get it some
times.
No union of any kind will ever help
financially anybody who is reckless in
money matters 1t is one Of the first
duties of every human being, no matter
who or what he is, to save money enough
to take care of him in sickness, hard
times and old age. The persons who
sheer at him for being miser when he
does this would be the very last ones to
help him after he had spent his last dol
lar, even when he spent it Oh them.
