Home Life In England and America.

The decay of the home life is to be
attributed partially to the influence on
society of the invasion of Americans.
In the United States home life is al
most unknown. The meaning Of the
word "home," as understood to Brit
ishers, is a mystery to Yankees. To a
certain extent we have always envied
you your home life, and I certainly
agree with some of your correspond
ents that it would be disastrous for
your country to lose the eleyating and
refining influences of the home.-An-

The seven Golden cities.

The "Seven Golden Cities" one Of
the most popular legends of the latter
part of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west of the AZ
rican coast. The island is represented
as abounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, "the high towers
of which shone at a great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest of Spain and Por-
tugal by the Moors, when the inhablt-
ants fed in every direction to escape
slavery, seven bishops, followed by a
great number Of people, took to ships
and put boldly out on the high seas.
After tossing about for some time they
landed on an unknown island, the ia
nous spot which in after years became
the seat of the Seven Golden Cities"
This island" Heylyn says, "was ex-
actly in midocean." After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserting and founded the
cities which have become so famous in
song and story. This mysterious is
land was often sought by the early
navigators. Those who went in search
of it and never returned were popular
ly believed to have been detained by
its inhabitants.

American Economy.

that consists in doing things on large
scale. in producing much rather than
in saving little. The old system of
economy consists in picayune retrench-
ment Take care Of the pennies, and

French families can live on what one

indicate the soundness Of American
economy. not the lack Of 1t. Whence
comes the tremendous energy Of our
nation in business, in production, in
growth generally, in practical improve

a high standard Of living. To do much
work nourishment is necessary, and
who are so well nourished as Ameri-

Objected to ..stun.n

The pride of James Gordon Bennett,
the elder, in the great newspaper he
had built up was proverbial, and he
had a particular aversion to anything
that savored. of disrespect on the part
Of his employees when speaking of its
contents.
One of his editorial writer's ventured
to compliment him one morning on the
general character Of that days issue.
There was a lot Of good stuff In the
paper this morning, Mr.. Bennett" he
said.
"Stuff?" exclaimed the editor. "Stuff
What do you mean"
"I mean the-the matter on the edi-
torial page" replied the other, some
what taken aback.
"Then say So" rejoined his chief.

Years ago our theaters did not have

and it was a common sight to see a
house of empty benches"

office of one Of the theaters," says a
reminiscent Philadelphian. "and one
stormy evening sold but one ticket,

age. who rushed up to the window and
asked if thought he could get good

| felt sorry for the little fellow and
wondered how he would feel sitting in
the gallery all by himself. After the
first act was over I was aroused by a
tap ON the window and, upon opening
it. saw my solitary ticket purchaser
standing there with very sad express
sion on his face.
Mister he said, I'm the only one
up there, and it's so lonesome that l
am afraid to stay. Won't you give me
another ticket, and I'll bring our gang
around tomorrow night to help you
out?'

The HairsprfnE,

The hairspring of watch is strip
Of the finest steel about 915 inches long
and .01 inch wide and 0027 inch thick
1t is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered. The process of tempering
these springs was long held as a secret
by the few fortunate ones possessing
it, and even now it is not generally
known. Their manufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip is
gauged to the .020 of an inch, but no
measuring instrument has yet been de-
vised capable of fine enough gauging
to determine beforehand by the size Of
the strip what the strength of the fin
ished spring will be. A twenty-thou-
sandth part of an inch difference in the
thickness Of the strip makes a differ
ence in the running Of watch of about
six minutes per hour.

THE CARNAHUBA PALM.
II Is Called the Most Marvellous Tre,
In the World.

II Is Called the Most Marvellous Tree
In the World.
Undoubtedly the most marvellous tree
IN the world grows in Brazil. 1t is the
carnahuba palm and can be employed
for many useful purposes. Its roots
produce the same medicinal effect as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong,
ligh f1bers, which acquire a beautiful
luster and serve also for joists, rafters
and other building materials as well as
for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and
vinegar are made. 1t yields also a sac
charine substance as well as starch
resembling sago. Its fruit is used for
feeding cattle. The pulp has an agree
aginous and. emulsive, is sometimes
used as substitute for coffee. OF the
wood Of the stem musical instruments,
water tubes and pumps are made. The
pith is an excellent substitute for cork.
From the stem a white liquid similar
resembling maizena, may be extracted.
OF the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. A considerable
quantity of this straw is shipped to Eu-
rope, and part of 1t returns to Brazil
manufactured into hats. The straw Is
also used for thatching houses. More
over, salt is extracted from it and like
wise an alkan used in the manufacture
of common soap.

The Word sewoebesone."

The word "woebegone" is an inter
esting survival Of the far past. "Be-
gone" here represents the past partici-
pie of the Anglo-Saxon verb "began,"
to so round about, a word which has
otherwise entirely disappeared from
our vocabulary. but which has its anal
ogies in such verbs as "beset" and DE
grid" in which the prefix "be' repre-
sents the modern proposition "by." A
woebegone countenance is thus that Of
man compassed about with woe,
though perhaps 1t is most generally
used in somewhat sighting manner
to imply that the appearance Of grief
is greater than the circumstances war
rant. Thus it has partially undergone
the same process Of degeneration which
has made "maudlin tears" - original
tears of penitence from Mary Magda-
lene-bear a contemptuous meaning.

Ring. ana Rheumatism.

Sufferers from rheumatism who be-
lieve that they will be cured of their
aches through wearing a certain kind
of metal ring would be surprised per-
haps to hear that they are keeping
alive an old superstition that owed its
origin to one of the ceremonies per
formed on Good Friday. The ceremo-
ny was called the blessing of the cramp
rings and was carried out by the king
himself, who went into his private
chapel, accompanied only by his great
almoner, crawled on his knees to the
crucifix and there blessed silver bowl
full of gold and silver rings. These
rings were afterward distributed to
people who were afflicted with rheu-
matism or epilepsy. The idea is sup
posed to have originated in a certain
ring given by pilgrim to Edward the
Confessor, which was kept in West
minister abbey and used as cure for
such ills.-London Chronicle.

The MOelem Cveed.

A German Christian missionary who
has worked for many years among the
Mohammedans says: Honesty compels
every candid student to acknowledge
that the old view formerly entertained
in Christian circles concerning Moham-
mechanism, according to which the teach
ings of the great Arabian prophet are
nothing but devils doctrines and dog
mas, is altogether incorrect. In reality.
Mohammedanism is nothing but a ra-
tionalistic type of Christianity in the
form of most unfortunate state re
ligion. The times are past when scold-
ing about the Moslem creed as the pro
duction Of the devil will satisfy. and
the struggle against Islam on these
premises is q failure. Practically all
of the mission literature that in the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles was written against MOham-
mechanism is useless"

Miniature Holland,

The striking thing about Holland is
that everything except the old parish
churches. the town halls. the dikes
and the trees is in miniature. The cit
les are not wide, and one can go from
the most northern point in the country
to the most southern or from the ex-
treme west to the extreme east in a
single day and, if it be a summer day,
in daylight, while from the top of the
tower Of the cathedral at Utrecht one
can look over large part Of the coun-
try. The Hague and Rotterdam are
only sixteen miles apart and The Hague
and Amsterdam only forty miles. Arm
hem and The Hague are the two most
cosmopolitan cities in the kingdom,
and one meets in the streets all sorts
and conditions of Netherlanders.-B

GLADSToNE's ORAToRY.
One Critic Likens II to the Rushing
of Waters In a Tempest.

One Critic Likens II to the Rushing
of Waters In a Tempest.
Gladstone was a great flnancier and
perhaps the very greatest expositOr Of
finance who ever lived. He had q
magical influence over masses Of men
and a power Of words the effect Of
which was more like that Of huge
masses Of water in tempest than any
thing else. His Midlothian speeches
made one think less of river coming
down than of the sea coming up. His
skill in constructing difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
of his time and perhaps was never ex-
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate Of him is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
his extraordinary power Of believing
precisely what he wished to believe
He had a tender conscience, but, save
only where finance was concerned, he
had that conscience thoroughly under
command. If it showed the slightest
recalcitrancy, his will was always
ready to say, "Just you dareP'
And yet when all has been said for
and against him there can be no doubt
that he will remain the most notable
Englishman of his generation-as much
out Of place among the Liberals as
Disraei was among the Conservatives,
but, like him, head and shoulders
above all his rivals and as much su-
perior to Disraeli himself in most Of
the higher arts of statesmanship as
that immensely clever child Of Israel
was superior to him in all its secondary

remperaturs of Forests.

For many years the Swiss govern
ment has been making observations
through its forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, of the trees and
the soil in the forests. These observa-
tions show that the temperature in the
forests is always below the tempera-
ture outside. The temperature also
varies according to the trees compos-
ing the forests.
A beech forest is always cooler than
a forest Of larch. AS to the trunks of
the trees, they are always cooler than
the surrounding air. Regarding the
temperature of the soil, it is found that
in the forest the temperature is invari-
ably below that of the air. Outside the
forest the soil is always warmer than
the air in summer and colder in win

COFFEE ADULTERANTs,
The List Runs Through the Alphabet
From A to w.

from A TO w.
If all of the substances that pass
through coffee grinding machine dur
ing the year should be written in al
phabetical order, "a" would begin the
list with acorns, and "w" would end 1t
with wormwood, sprouts of which are
sometimes used to give the debased
coffee slight aromatic bitter taste.
Adulteration occurs largely in the
coffee that is sold in the ground form.
Several coffee berry factories have
been discovered in Europe which were
doing large and profitable business
by molding an admixture of tanbark,
stove rust, clay, sawdust, chicory,
coffee sediment and coffee meal into
a neat berry by the aid of some agglu-
tnant, and these berries were so well
made that the deception was not dis
covered for long time. This produc-
ton had large sale among the lower
classes Of Russia and Poland, and.
mixed with the genuine coffee berry,
its sale was quite lively In other parts
of Europe.
Unroasted coffee berries are often
made from oat and rye -four and corn
meal. The natural aroma of these
grains is destroyed by some process,
and after the proper amount Of coffee
aroma is added the berries are formed
and caused to maintain their shape by
some adhesive substance The test
usually employed to discover this de-
eeption is to place the beans in re-
ceptacle containing warm water, which
will dissolve them In few hours
