A physician in Switzerland undertook
to count by means of a pedometer the
number of steps taken by him in year.
He averaged daily 26,74O steps, or $780,

uring a step at two feet, the doctor
walked nine and one-half miles day

Some curious old customs are still
maintained in remote parts of England.
At Oakham, for example, the lord of
the manor still has the right to de-
mand from every peer passing through
his realm the near fore-shoe of his nag,
though in these days the traveller usu-
ally compromises by furnishing coun-
kerfeit presentment ON large SCALE
which is nailed as trophy to the wall
of the old manor, which dates back to
the conquest. Not even royalty is ex-
empt from this singular tax, and the
shoes of George ~, his brother. the
prince of York, and the prince of Wales
of our own time are to be seen in this
singular collection.

There is a movement in some parts
of the South to form an organization
known as the Sons Of Confederate
Veterans" and it is pleasing to see
that such southerners as Holmes Con-

refuse to countenance it on the ground
that 1t is not desirable to have the
minds of their children filled with ideas
concerning the Confederacy.

That is cheering news from Mount
Pleasant, Pennsylvania, that notices
have been posted in all the coke works
of the Prick and Southwest companies
saying that an advance in wages, aver
aging about Is per cent, will go into eff

per 100 bushels goes from rs to 80 cents,
drawing from 43 to 50 cents, and SO on
down through the various grades of
labor. The yard laborer is the only one
who gets no advance, his pay being $1.2O
rer day. About 10000 worlzingmen will
be benefited by this increase of wages.

whose moderately wide skirt is trimmed with black velvet tabs of graduated lengths. The bodice has crossed over fronts fastening with steel buttons and shoulder straps of the bou- cle silk, the back being of plain black velvet with a boucle silk yoke. The standing collar is of velvet garnished with red chiffon rosettes and the sleeves have boucle silk puffs and vel vet cuffs ornamented with straps of the former material.
 Beside this there is shown a gray cloth gown, its skirt showing a panel of fine green and red velvet plaid on the left side. over this come cloth straps fastened with steel buttons. The waist is made entirely of the plaided velvet and is laid in box-pleats in front, but toning in the center with three box pleats in the back Its sleeves of plaid velvet end in slashed cloth cuffs fast ened with buttons, and the velvet standing collar has gray chiffon rosette garniture.
 Satin of two contrasting shades is shown in combination with velvet of still another shade in a very handsome gown, so 1t looks as if the time of rag bag rigs were not over yet while, and that in spite of apparent extravaganza, the cunning woman may after all prac- tice economy. FLORETTE.

 form of an institute and clock tower,
 the building being three stories in
 height, built of two kinds of stone,
 quarried in the neighboorhood, and

 This memorial is appropriately placed
 at Ledbury since there, at Hope End,
 was Elizabeth Barrett's early home, and in the old parish church yard near are the graves of her father, mother and
 sister. The place was very dear to her as we may judge from those poems which refer to childhood's scenes and experiences, such as, ''The Lost Bower"
 Hector in the Garden" and "The De- serted Garden" Here, too, she began to write, producing, in her eleventh year, an ambitious poem on the Battle of Marathon" which, despite of it's crudities and juvenile faults, proved that she had the gift of versifying, and that in her had awakened the poetic fire that burned so steadily and lu- minously to the close of her lovely life. The people of Ledbury might have raised in her honor a beautiful statue, or an ornamental arch. but they have been wiser in that they have brought into the uses of daily life memories of | one whom "the world will not willingly let die" HILARY.

sion of financial faith just made by MT. Calderhead of Kansas a Republi- can member-e -elect who will hold in the next Congress the seat just vacated by MT. John Davis, a Populist of the Jerry Simpson type MT. Calderhead says that Kansas is getting to be a sound money State. The only people there who are radically in favor of the free coinage of silver are a few Populists, and even they are not so rampant as they were. He says that, though the coinage of the silver produced by Amer ican mines was favored in the Kansas Republican platform. he openly repudi- ated that doctrine in his canvass. And he adds that, while he would like to see silver on an equality with gold in our finances and in the finances of the world he does not propose to push that metal to the front until it becomes practicable to give it this footing of equality
 Nevertheless, all is not clear sailing even in the House. In fact, the silver question is to be precipitated on an un- offending country in full force as a na- tional topic during the next year, The talk will be silver, silver, in Congress, in the debating clubs, on the curbstones and at the lamp posts, The silverites are rampant, belligerent, numerous and determined, There are silver Republi- cans as well as silver Democrats In New Haven the discussion has begun. Perhaps also there will be an interna- tional conference on the silver ques- tion. So altogether long suffering na- ton has trouble enough ahead in addi- tion to the Hawaiian question, the Chi nese question, the dull times the possi- bilities as to the next crops and in the near future the presidential candidacy question:

 The closing of holes in the bottom or sides of sunken wreck is often a most difficult job,and MT. Willes gives a most interesting case of hole successfully closed where 1t could not be got at in the ordinary way. The steamer, coal laden had sunk on a soft bed of mud reaching within IS inches of her deck, and so soft that it appeared impossi- ble to cut through it or keep it out even with timberlng and pumping, nor could the hole be got at from the inside, as the mud would flow in. Large steel plates. we'll padded with canvas and hair felt and well quilted, were driven down through the mud close to the hull, the plates overlapping one another to make joint, and chains from ring bolts at each end of the plates were brought through the hull to winches to draw the plates up tight as the water was pump ed out of the hold Above the plates on the hole the space was planked over to the top of the bulwarks and caulked tight As the tide. rose about three feet above deck level the vessel suddenly floated, and the patching was found perfectly water-tight.

A Troubled One.

It is said that the expression, There is a skeleton in every closet,' arose from the following incident; A young Italian student, finding he was dying, fearing to break the news to his moth- CT, adopted the following device He informed her that he was i'll, and that it had been foretold he would not re- cover until he had worn shirt made by a woman who had no trouble The widow soon discovered it was no easy task to find such person. but at length was referred to a lady who seemed sur rounded with every comfort and happi- ness and possessed a husband who seemed devoted to her. The widow made known her request, and for an answer was shown closet where a skeleton hung suspended from a beam. She was told it was the remains of a lady's former lover, who from motives of jealousy, had been slain by her hus- band, and that he compelled her to visit It every day.

In this way two minorities may become majority. This method was described in the Tribune of October 2S, 1891, by Daniel s. Ramsen, a lawyer, and was adopted in Queensland less than one year afterward. The chief justice closes his letter by saying: 1I think the system is free from difficulty The only objection I have seen made to it came from persons who are conscious that they cannot command majority of the votes, but still desire to be elect ed n

THE NEXr CONGBESS,

"All's we'll that ends well" hardly ap
 plies to the Congress that has just de parted. A deep sigh of relief went UT from the country when it dissolved
 What about the next Congress?" is now a question of portentous interest There is a general feeling of satisfaction over the fact that the House will be Republican The Republicans will not be in control in the Senate, but the Re- publican House will checkmate any wild demonstrations the silver men may succeed in making in the Senate. On this point the Boston Herald, indepen- dent Democratic, says:
 "The House has a large Republican majority, drawn to a considerable ex- tent from the sound money sections of the country, and we cherish firm be- lief that it can be trusted to reject all objectionable proposals on behalf of sil- yer that may come down from the Sen ate.
 Tt has been claimed by the advo- cates of the white metal that when the silver question came up in the new Congress, a good many of the Republi- can representatives from the western, or, to speak geographically, from the central, States, would desert their east ern associates and join the Republican from the mining regions in furtherance of a free coinage bilI or, at any rate, of a bill for the coinage of all the silver produced by American mines. While admitting that in individual cases such defection is possible, we have never regarded it as likely to be at all and we have no fear that it can become formidable.

By way of experiment the Raphael cartoon gallery at the South Kensington museum has been so lighted as to shut out the most important actinic rays; thus, it is said, while the rays which cause paintings to fade are excluded, the effect of white light is obtained. The method adopted is the glazing of a sEylisht with alternate layers of green, blue and yellow glass. The gallery has been visited by artists who are of opin- ion that the pictures therein exhibited are seen in their true colors, while the public have not the least idea that there is any difference between the lighting of this and the lighting of any other gallery.
