How to Buy Furniture.

All wood furniture is certainly the
safest investment from q hygenic
standpoint. 1t offers no temptations
to moths or germs. 1t also saves time
for the woman who is her own parlor
maid. But il upholstered furniture
is preferred there are certain points to
be considered. Always select set of
furniture as plain in shape and dscc
ration as can be designed, so that ii
may be brought up to date from time
to time by polishing and recovering.
1t is profitable to buy the very best of
its kind, both as to frame and padding.
Cheap furniture is bad investment
both in all upholstered and plain
wood; in all upholstered because the
springs and hair give out, and in wood
furniture because after year or two
the joints pull loose and have to be
mended and glued periodically. Gen.
uine antique furniture, hand made and
equal to centuries OF wear, is the most
practical purchase for the house.
keeper.
Here are few valuable hints
to enable the purchaser to dis
tinguish between real and fake
antique" furniture. If there
are doors in the piece OF fur.
niture, open them wide and ex,
anime the hinges and edges of wood.
The old style of metal work was crude
and very different from the modern.
II there are drawers, take them out,
and if the furniture is old, the wood
will be worn and splintered. Where
chair or settee is to be examined,
cut tiny silver of the wood. Old
wood is gray and lifeless. New wood
is brighter oolored and firm in tex.
ture. Antique furniture does not look
well in house with garnlsh modern
decorations. Above all things, have
furniture, new or old, that is com.
Portable, that fits the human form
divine. that is luxurious in a matter
of ease if not ornamental.-New York

EngIand's Most Generous Genius.

Through his father John Ruskin
fell heir to nearly 81, 900, 900, to which
must be added the income of his writ
ings. But this man counted his treas.
ures as trust fund, held in the inter-
ests of suffering merit or youths
promising talent. That he was on the
London committee tor the victualing
of Paris in 1871 proves that his benev.
olence was as we'll known as Peabody g
or Lady Burdett-C outts's. Taxing
himself first with tenth, then half,
he finally gave his entire income.
If he needed botanical and art works
for his studies he crippled himself
rather than refuse his last spare TWEEN
ty guineas to the widow of dead art
list. If tor health's sake and arts sake
he wanted to take trip to Switzer-
land, he would forego it that he might
contribute G100 to the Cruikshank
memorial. If others would not en-
courage the study of art in schools he
would buy ten water color drawings of
William Hunt, paying for each $75,
and give them to the public schools
of London. In one of his letters to
the workingmen of Great Britain he
told them what he had done and was
doing with his money in carrying on
his St. Georges Guild and his plans
for rent reform.
Up to 1877 he had given away all
his fortune save $250,O00. But, in
view of the needs of his workingmen's
clubs, this amount seemed much too
large for his personal wants. He there
fore determined to distribute all save
G12, 200 worth of consols, the interest
of which would bring him some $500.
Upon this interest he now lives, the
income of his books being distributed
among his servants, his old pensioners
and his various plans for social re-
form. Home Journal.

Sky-Scraping Trees.

What are said to be the tallest trees
in the world are to be found in the
forests of Victoria, Australia. They
belong to the eucalyptus family, and
range from $50 to 500 feet in height.
One of them that had fallen was found
by measurement with tape to be 438
feet from the roots to where the trunk
had been broken off by the fall, and at
that point the tree was three feet in
diameter. The tree grows with as
tonishing raridity. A tree of this
species planted in Florida grew forty
feet in four years, with bole of foot
in diameter. Trees of the same species
in Guatemala grew 100 feet in twelve
years. The same one was nine feet
thick. Piles from 100 to $50 feet long
are being used by the Tacoma Land
Company of Tacoma, Wash, in placing
the portions of sea wall with a pile
and strInger wharf. The water is
thirty feet deep, and the outer row of
piles ranges from 100 to 105 feet IN
length, ten inches in diameter at the
tip and twenty-seven inches at the
butt. These piles are of the Douglass
pine"

How DIR. Cuyler Became a Minister.

Peter Carter, in Golden Rule, tells
how the Rev. DR.. Theodore Ouyler,
the noted Presbyterian divine, of
Brooklyn, became minister. 1t was
chiefly owing to his mothers influence.
Most of Theodore's immediate male
ancestors were distinguished lawyers,
and one of them offered him fine law
library if he would enter the legal
profession. His mother, however, had
consecrated him to the ministry, and
fearing that he might be persuaded
into the study of law, she sent him
abroad, which was the first of his
many trips across the sea. While he
was absent in Europe, his mother en-
gagged room for him at Princeton
Theological Seminary, SO strong was
her faith that he was to be minister.
On his return from Europe, young
Cuyler went with his mother to visit
some relatives near Ludlowville, n. Y,
and while there made two or three ad-
dresses at small religious meetings
His addresses were so successful in
their effect that he was convinced that
the Christian ministry was his proper
field of labor.

Killed by a Pair Of GLOVES.

The Nihillsts of Russia have ex-
traordinary methods OF getting rid of
their official enemies.
For instance, about year before
the death of the late Gear, Count
Tcheremetieff was killed by pair of
poisoned gloves. The Count, one OF
the wealthiest and most powerful no.
blemen in Russia, was an intimate
friend of Alexander, having been his
playmate in boyhood, end, moreover,
related to his Imperial Majesty by
ties of morganatic kinship. He was in
trusted with the direction of the milf
tary portion of the Imperial house,
hold, and was in constant and daily
attendance upon his Imperial master.
Like most of the dignitaries of the
Court, he had, in addition to his
superb palace on the Nevaky Prospect.
q residence in the Emperor's palace.
One day. summoned in haste to the
Gear, he snatched up from side table
in the ante-chamber his sword, white
astrachan bonnet and gloves, which,
as usual, were laid out all ready for
him.
The gloves were exactly like those
he always wore, even to the extent OF
being no longer quite fresh. They
had evidently been clumsily impreg-
mated with poison, for, while stand
ing before the writing table in the
library talking to the Czar, he sud-
denly fell to the floor with a look of
intense agony upon his distorted
features, exclaiming: my hands, my
handsl"
The Emperor, burly though he was,
leaped over the table, raised the Count
from the floor, aud laid him on q
lounge, calling for assistance as he did
40. At first the physicians believed
that the Count had succumbed to heart
disease; but when the Emperor, in
describing the incident, mentioned
the exclamation uttered by the dying
man, their attention was drawn to his
hands.
When ungloved, the Counts hands
gave forth strange, pungent, arc.
matte odor, and we're swollen and dis
colored.
1t was only then that il dawned upon
the medical men that the Count had
been assassinated by means of his
gloves. On being subjected to chem
ical analysis it was shown that the
gloves had been impregnated with q
poison derived from an Abyssinian
vegetable substance little known in
Europe. Answers.

Sleeping in Greece.

In Greece the hotels of the interior
follow one general type-the Italian.
There is no common sitting room.
Why should there be? There is no
Office, but that does not seem to inter-
fere with the presentation of bills.
The ground floor is given up to cafe
or restaurant, if the innkeeper goes
into that line of business. Very often.
however, the master of the Apollo has
only rooms to let. The sleeping apart
ments on the floor above are often APP
preached by an outside stairway, and,
as is to be expected in a southern eli
mate, they are scantily furnished.
Overfurnishing is a vice anywhere.
Under a southern sky it is a crime of
which the Greeks are not guilty.
There is usually a mirror, though
that tribute of human vanity Is some
times lacking, and, like the Turk, the
solitary Turkish towel bears no brother
near his throne. The bedstead is in
variably of iron. AS in primitive
United States within my memory,
single rooms are rare. Two, three. four,
five beds are put in one room, or strung
along the corridors. A fastidious per-
son who desires to occupy a room
alone has to pay for all the bed s there
in. In some places special cha rges are
made for sleeping in the daytime, and
there is fixed rate for sleeping on
the floor. That man would wish to
be private when he is asleeps seems
absurd to race that sleep at any
time and in any place, irrespective OF
onlookers. -Atlantic Monthly.

Thiriy-two Children at Eleven Births,

A Viennese woman of forty has
already presented her husband with
thirty-two children at eleven births.
according to the Wiener Medicinische
Wochenschrift. Twenty-six of them
are boys and six girls; at the first birth
four were born, at the second three,
at the third four, at the fourth two,
at the fifth three, at the sixth two, at
the seventh and eighth three each, at
the ninth ewo, at the tenth and eleventh
three each. The mother has nursed
them all herself. She has suffered
from epilepsy since her fifteenth year,
but none of the children SO far show
any sign OF the disease. The woman
was one OF four children born at one
birth, her mother having borne thirty
eight children. She is the wife of q
poor linen weaver.

Farms Under Glass.

A popular lecturer, in estimating
the number of people who would in
habit this globe thousand years
hence, was asked by one in the
audience how such vast multitude
could be fed. In reply to this ques-
tion he is quoted as saying: "We
know not what discoveries may be
made to render the earth more fertile,
or to increase its productive power,
but long before that time enough of
the sands of Cape God and New Jersey
may have been converted into glass to
place roof over all the land devoted
to growing crops, and beneath its
shelter the farmer, in climate of per-
petual summer, may grow his crops in
continuous succession, and with the
waters of the deep springs and the
lakes under his control, may be free
from dangers of food and drought as
we'll as from the frosts and SHOWS.
Undoubtedly, long before the ex.
piration of the thousand years, garden
ers, farming under glass. will be en-
gagged in supplying, not what are to-
day considered the Injuries of life,
but the very necessities. Hot-house
fruits and vegetables may then be
raised for the poor and needy as
cheaply as the summer products are
now grown on the truck gardens in
the suburbs of all our cities. Vast
sections of land may be rooted over
with glass, and a perpetual summer
climate will make the plants and
trees and vines flourish as in the
opics.-Lippincott's.

uses of SaMdust.

There are in New York twenty or
more dealers in sawdust; their high
sided wagons, built especially for the
purpose, are familiar to all. Formerly
sawdust was carried in bulk, with an
empty barrel for measure surmount-,
ing the load. In delivering sawdust
the driver filed the barrel and took it
in and emptied it; sawdust was sold
by the barrel. Now city ordinance
forbids the han ding of sawdust in this
loose manner, to be blown about the
streets, and it is carried in bags, the
standard sawdust bag being of the
capacity of a sugar barrel. The driver
takes bag and empties it into bar
rel or leaves full bag and takes an
empty one.
Sawdust IS used for packing some
kinds of bottled goods, as Ink, cologne
and mustard; it is used to some ex.
tent for packing eggs for retail deliv-
cry; it is used for some polishing
purposes, and in some other ways !;
and the aggregate quantity sold for
these purposes is considerable; but
the great use of sawdust is in sweep
ing floors. For this purpose great
quantities are sold, and much also is
sold to be scattered upon floors, whore
it is left to lie, as, for example, in
butcher shops and fish stores. Used
in sweeping, the sawdust is slightly
dampened before it is spread about. 1t
absorbs the dust and dirt, and is then
swept mp, the dust with it, as the old
phrase goes, without raising dust. "
In butcher shops and grocery stores
and other places where it is left on the
floor it is renswea as often as may be
necessary, perhaps twice week.
For sweeping purposes sawdust IL
used in great many places, includ-
ing all sorts of stores, both great and
small. Some of the great business
establishments of the city use fifteen
barrels each week; SO that single es.
Enlistment might use for sweeping
purposes 700 or 800 barrels annually.
Sawdust is sold usually at twenty.
five cents or twenty cents single bar
rel, or three barrels for fifty cents
The sawdust expense item in the great
establishments may amount to $50 te
$75 year.-New York Sun.

Are Of Niagara.

AS to the age OF the Niagara Falls,
biologists differ widely in opinion.
At first it was estimated that the Nj.
aRara River came into existence,
through changes in the level of the
land around the Great Lakes, about
55, 900 years ago. Later this was re-
duced to only II, 900 years. The cele.
brated geologist, Sir Charles Lyel.
increased the estimate again to 80, COG
years; but more recently others have
lowered it to about 5000 years. The
latest estimate is that of DR.. ]. w.
Spencer, who, basing his conclusions
on the most recent Investigations,
places the age of the river at so, 900
years, and that of the cataract at 81.
900. At one period, many thousand
years ago, the height of the falls was
400 feet.

A Presidential Aecclsde.

An anecdote of General dfant,
which has never before found its way
into print, possesses the spirit of nov
city for the reason that it relates to
what is probably the only instance in
which the honor of knighthood hal
ever been bestowed upon an American
citizen by President of the United
States.
During the years of his second adj
ministration President Grant was ac-
customed to spend his summers at
Montreal Beach, N. J. Near his cot
tage was that of Hon. George NJ. Robe
son, Secretary OF the Navy, whose
family consisted OF his wife, his four
year-old daughter, Ethel, and his
eight.year old stepson, Richard Aulick,
whose father had been q commander
in the navy.
1t was the custom of all war vessels
to fire series Of salutes as they passed
the Secretary's cottage. These were
conscientiouslv returned by young
Aulick, who had mounted toy can
non at the foot of the flagstaff in front
of the house.
One morning, while the children
were playing with some companions,
they were startled by the booming oil
guns, and rushing to the front yard
they beheld great smoke wreaths drift
ing away from the United States ship
Tallapoosa. Without further ado
Richard applied the fuse to his gun
and acknowledged the salutation.
While thus employed the kneeling boy
suddenly felt three light blows on his
back. and looking up beheld the figure
of the President standing beside him.
In one hand the nations chief held 9
lighted cigar, while in the other the
astonished boy saw a toy sword be
longing to his sister Ethel.
''Rise, Richard l dub thee knight,
said the rugged old warrior, amid the
laughter of several friends who attend
ed him.
Then, returning his cigar to his lips
he smile grimly and resumed his way

The Ancient Game Of Mora.

"Nessus" writes to the New York
Times, asking for description of the
ancient game called mora. This is
the game the Romans used to call
Digitis Macare flashing or swapping
with the ingers). 1t is a very old
game, and IS played in all parts of the
world, generally by only two persons
at time. One of the players. after
raising his right hand, suddenly low
ers it with one or more of the fingers
extended; the other player tries to
guess the number of fingers SO ex-
tended. Mora is even now played for
small stakes in Mulberry street.
