An Epitaph of Pope's.

The following epitaph was highly
commended by johnson. 1t was writ
ten to keep alive the memory of Eliza
beth Corbett, who sleeps now in st.
Margaret's, Westminster:
Here rests woman, good without pretense.
Blest with plain reason and with sober sense
No conquest she but DER herself desired;
No arts essayed, but not to be admired.
Passion and pride were to her soul unknown,
Convinced that virtue only is our own;
So unaffected, 80 composed a mind,
So firm, yet soft; so strong, yet so refined,
Heaven, as its purest gold, by fortunes tried !;
The saint sustained it, but the woman died.

Precious Stones Fade.

The powerful chemical effects of the
sun are felt even by precious stones.
The ruby, sapphire and emerald suffer
less than other colored stones in this
respect, but it has been shown by ex-
pertinent that n ruby lying in shop
window for two years became much
lighter in tint than its mate, kept in q
dark place during that period. Gar
nets and topazes are more easily af-
fected. Pearls are said to show de-
terioration with age, but if they are not
worn constantly they will recuperate
wonderfully during brief vacations
spent in quiet and darkness. The
only species of ill luck which the prac-
tical person believes the opal will
bring to its owner is that of loss if the
stone is exposed carelessly to heat.
1t is liable to crack, being composed
principally of silicic acid, with little
water.

Professor Lindsey, of the Massa-
chusetts Experiment Station, made
some experiments last winter with salt
marsh hay which has distinct salt
sea flavor and smell. The salt hay
was fed after milking and precautions
were taken to keep the milk as clean'as
possible and it was removed to the
dairy room Immediately after being
drawn from each COW, and cooled by
being immersed in ice water.
Samples of the butter were sent to
Boston and Mr.. Douglas said in his
report: "You must have had some new
mich cows to have been able to make
any such butter at this season of the
year.
While it seems to be q fact that GER
tain feed stuffs are liable to impart an
Objectionable flavor to dairy products,
these experiments serve as an illustra-
lion of what can be accomplished by
using proper precautions in feeding
and goes to show that by far the larg-
sr part of the bad flavor gets into milk
Or butter after milking rather than
during the progress of milk formation.

Women in the Bank of France.

AS the result of long and careful ex-
pertinent, the Governor of the Bank
of France has now intrusted the work
of detection of forged bank notes and
of debentures with altered numbers
entirely to special corps of women
clerks. He declares that the keen
sensibility of their finger tips enables
them in handling note to distinguish
the difference, however slight, between
the forged and the real article. The
means adopted for bringing to light
the falsitied numbers on debentures
are rather more elaborate, and consist
mainly in the distinction of the diff
ference in the symmetry of the figures
and of the ink used, magnifying
glasses being used for the former and
chemical preparations for the latter.

The Times of India directs attentic

The Times of India directs attention
TO the influence which the prevalence
Of distress has had upon the statistics
Of crime in that country. AS the
scarcity of food pressed more heavily
during the last two years upon the
agricultural population the number of
offences gradually rose. But it is
noted that the excess of crime was
almost entirely confined to petty often
res against property. This indicates
that it was hunger which drove many
of the offenders to do what, under nor
NAL conditions, they would perhaps
have never dreamed of doing. Indeed,
The emaciated condition of the great
number of prisoners was further proof
of this. A noticeable feature of the
returns has been the increase in the
convictions of old offenders, which
leads one Jail superintendent to sug.
gest that cold offenders appreciate the
advantage of Jail life in year OF
scarcity"

Gar Nicholas has been entertain
ing President Faure of France. Prob.
ably never before has the President
of Republic been received with such
royal pomp. This time, asserts the
Washington Pathfinder, it is the
Russians that appear to have gone
mad with enthusiasm at the idea of a
French alliance. The Russian ladies
have loaded the French officers with
flowers; the French sailors have been
carried on the shoulders of the frenz.
led populace of st. Petersburg, and
fete upon fete has been given in
honor of the visitors. Coming on
the heels of the great demonstration
to Emperor William, of Germany,
this ovation to President Faure and
his party is extremely significant.
Politics is at the bottom of every
such function, and the politics of the
present summers hospitalities at the
court of Russia is that Russia, in the
supreme conflict that she must sooner
or later wage with England, wants tc
know whom she can depend upon
Germany and Russia are now sworn
allies; France, though at swords
points with Germany, is so jealous
of England that she, too, finds il
good politics to follow Russia's lead
and through France it is hoped tc
enlist Italy, now, with an in
creasing navy, an ally worth having.
Thus to-day, there is more complete
European alliance against England
than has existed for long period
Such, then, is the true significance oi
the fashy ceremonies lately witnessed
at the Russian court.

John Brisben Walker announces that
E. Benjamin Andrews, who has re.
signed as President of Brown Uni
versity, will take charge of the Cosmo-
politan University. The method of
the new school so far as worked out is
as follows: A student will forward to
the university his name and address
and the purpose for which education
is sought, and the studies which the
applicant desires to pursue. Each
such statement will go to DIR. Andrews
who will map out the course of study
which he deems the best possible for
the applicant in the light of the infor-
nation conveyed. He will then dis.
patch his own diagnosis of the appli-
cant's case and prescription therefor
to the most eminent expert on the par.
ticular study with whom he is ac
quainted. This expert will revise the
course and the accompanying instruc
lions and return the document to
President Andrews.

A. j. Carson, commercial traveller
living in Kalamazoo, Mich, has pat
ented device to prevent foundered
vessels from being completely lost.
His idea is to place buoy on the deck
of the ship in such position that when
the vessel sinks the buoy is freed and
stays on the surface. A long steel
rope is connected with the buoy. The
rope passes through hole in the deck
and is wound around reel in the hold
of the ship. This reel is mounted on
ball-bearings and the hole through
which the rope passes is similarly
equipped to prevent friction and avoid
the danger of entangling. After the
vessel reaches the bottom the buoy
will serve as a means of locating the
wreck.
