Herbert Spencer, in his newly pub

ley: He was one of circle in which
tragedy was the topic, when my name
came up in connection with some opin-

oh, Spencer's idea of a tragedy is a
deduction killed by fact On another
occasion George Henry Lewes gave Hux-
ley an opportunity. I had invited some
half dozen leading men to meet an Amer
lean friend at dinner. In the course of
the evening conversation arose about
habits of composition. Lewes, one of

Ambassador Was Pluckv.

Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Elizabeth's
ambassador to Ivan the Terrible, car of
Russia, in 1888, had an exciting time.
Ivan had killed his own son a few years
earlier in fit of passion, and was no
easy character to deal with. The car
saw fit to disparage the English queen.
whom, he declared. "he did not reckon
to be his fellow" there being those who
were her betters. Bowes could not stand
this sort of thing, and pluckily asserted
that his princess was as great as any
in Christendom. What! AS great as
the emperor of Gernany?" demanded
Ivan. Why" answered Bowes, with a
fine assumption of scorn, such is the
greatness of the queen, my mistress, that
the king, her father, had not long since
the emperor in his pay in his wars
against France" The car was at first
more furious than ever, but in time he
took Bowes into. his favor.

THE DECLINE OF PROFANITY
Gentle Slang of the Present Has Sup
p1aEted the Swear Words
of Old Times.

Many purists bewail the prevalence of
sang In the spoken language of the
period. Has it never occurred to them
that IN the vast majority of instances
slang is relatively soft and harmless,
that 1t is seldom profane, and that what
common speech has suffered from inter-
]ecuons OF slang and cant phrases has
oeen more than counteracted by the dis
use OF hard old Anglo-Saxon swear
words? Thus says the Savannah News,
the language is really the gamer, .anC
usage is making much of the slang good

would not now be tolerated in gentle

brilliant lawyer of Charleston, who
f1ourished not long before the outbreak
of the civil war. who swore plausibly,
artlstically and easily in polite COM
pany, and told risque stories in the most
select circles; and he was accounted
among the most delightful company to
be found within the broad expanse of
the country. In the good old days" of
long ago it was regarded as a gentle
mans privilege to swear, and if his oaths
were nicely chosen no offense was felt
1t is not so now. Not that profanity is
obsolete, but it is pretty nearly so in po-
lite society. 1t is principally INDUCED in
by uncultured persons, or by the tipsy.
Occasionally the gentleman may let
slip an oath, under provocation, but in
such instances he is careful to note that
there is no woman within earshot. The

FOR UNFRAMED NURSES.
There Are Certain Details of CARING
for the Sick Which Should
Be Memorized.

In these days of trained nurses less
attention is paid to the training of the
daughters of the household in the care
or the sick than in old-fashioned times,
when trained nurses were unknown and
nlred nurses never resorted to except
IN extreme cases. Yet every woman
ought to have at least some knowledge
OF sick room lore to enable her to meet
emergencies when a trained nurse can
not be found, and those who understand
little about nursing the sick should at
teno lectures On the subject whenever
possible. says the New York Tribune.
cleanliness and method are. of course.
the first essentials of nursing. The room
must be systematically cared for. vet in
sucn manner as not to disturb the pa
tlent Complete ventilation is d neces-
Slty. In winter an open fire should. il
possible. be kept burning in the sick
room, as this is the most wholesome way
OF heating room and also ventilating it
thoroughly. The sick room should be
Kept at an even temperature. Sixty-fiye
or 20 seventy degrees is the correct
one in most cases: but the physician
should be consulted in this matter. as in
some forms of disease higher and in
others lower temperature is required.
Towels and bed linen to be used by the
sick should in winter be warmed and
aired thoroughly after they are taken
out Of the linen closet
IN cases of infectious disease it is i'm
portant to have a disinfecting fluid to
use in cleaning china clothing, bedding
and other articles for the sick room. All
articles to be Numbered should be wrUrc
out in this fluid and then flung out Of the
window before being carried through the
house. Nothing used in the room
should be hung out of doors on clothes
line unless it has first been disinfected.
If everything is disinfected before it is
taken from the room the contagion can
be kept from the rest of the house. A
sheet wrung out in a weak solution of
carbolic acid or some other disinfectant
and hung just outside the door of the
| room will do much to prevent the escape
of infected dust. A cap that completely
covers the hair should be worn by the
woman who cares for a person with a
contagious disease, and her gowns
should be of light material and simply
made, so that they can be easily Gsin-
fected and put through the washtub once
or twice week.

TREE PLANTING IN BLOCKS.
Important Facts Clearly Esta blished
by Recent Scientific Tests
in Horticulture.

1t is not advisable to plant any one
variety of apples, pears or plums in
blocks, even of a hundred, unless
there are other varieties on all sides
of the block. Within comparatively
recent years it has been discovered
that many of our varieties of the
above mentioned fruit are largely in
fertile to their own pollen, some more
so than Others This kind of plant
ing has caused many good orchard

suspecting the true cause.

covered that the Keifer pear was

other varieties near it. The investi-
cation was continued, with the result
that several other varieties of pears
were found to be in need of cross
fertilization. At last the scientists
made some elaborate experiments to
determine to what extent the apple
came under the same laws as to pol
lenation. To the surprise of almost
everyone, it was proved that very few
of our varieties OF apples do as well

the pollen of another variety, and
some of the varieties are found to be

Roads Getting Into Politics.

The contest for nomination to con-
gress between Capt. Hobson, the hero
Of the attempt to bottle up Cervera' s
fleet at Santiago, and Representative
Bankhead, of Alabama, has attracted
wide attention. But it is not generally
known that the question of national
aid to road improvement was one of
the leading issues in the campaign
Capt. Hobson strongly opposed the
measure as undemocratic and unconsti-
tutional, while he talked in favor of
great appropriations for the navy. Mr..
Bankhead, on the other hand, argued
that to aid the states in improving
their roads would be a better and
wiser use of the national revenues.
This argument took with the voters,

MANS LOVE OF NATURE.
When Wearied with Intellectual Pur-
suits He Turns to Her
for Rest.

The more man has become engaged in
ual disappointment, the more he has felt
the uselessness of knowledge, the more
he has turned to certain expressions of
art as an escape. He has addressed
poems to nature, has painted landscapes
more and more, has shown in every way
that such an escape was dream. do
not mean, writes John La Fargo, in Nc
Clure's, that such records of art have be-
gun late, only that the more complex
forms, especially such as those
that paintings give, are more
evident to us. Art has existed
from the very beginning, even
before the first man suffered out his
their character py the sound of their
name. The dances of savages, as we call
them, that is to Say, of people of earlier
forms of civilization, invented before the
arts of design, record in poetic way
what they do, and the seasons of such
doing. and even the appearance of ma

the sea against the shore In Fiji they
have a dance where the women spread
out their arms like, the wave lines of the
surf, and the children, springing up be-
hind them, represent the foam of the
wave crests From these beginnings,
we know that tragedy and comedy, as we
call them, have grown. Then, as all
these disappear in fact, they are record

Up to year ago the Cabin John

Washington Star, was the longest clear
span masonry bridge in the world, with

then two German bridges have been
built which surpass it in length. The
first one was built at Luxembourg. Ger

In fact, I'm not sure that the men,
bers of this council are not exception
ally qualified for membership of
club so-called, and, indeed, it occurred
to me while the chief was speaking,
that the Ishmael club would be a very
suitable name for the particular fra
ternity of which we who are present
in this room have the honor of being
members"
You are quite right, my FRIEND"
said Number Two. with a laugh.
lubbock and l both recognized that
that would be a ticklish point But
Hubbock's idea is not to change the
gongs until the last moment, when
the table is laid and ready for the
dinner The Ishmael is a very free
and easy place, and lubbock is so
we'll known there that he anticipates
no difficulty in finding some excuse to
effect the change. l think we may be
content to leave it in his hands, since
he is willing to undertake all respon-

where mother used to have a garden.
The althea was bought in a nursery
at the time father visited at Geneva.
The forsythia was layer donated by
a kind-hearted neighbor who has
large clump in her yard. The climb
ing rose Baltimore BELIEF was left
by a fruit-tree agent in payment for
his dinner. Each one of these sepa-
rate articles when it came was stuck
into the ground wherever there was a
convenient opening.
This outline is the history of at least
three-fourths of the farmyards which
one sees. The general result is fairly
we'll represented in figure l. Here
there are two rows of trees at right
angles to one another. which are fine
and shady and form the chief features
of the place. However. they shade the
house too much, allowing no outlook
in any direction. There are some for
NAL flower beds cut into the lawn just
where the best grass ought to be. The
walks and drives are stiff and straight.
The shrubs stand about singly and at
a distance from one another, as if they
were afraid to associate with their
neighbours What little lawn there is,
is on the other side of the road and
behind the row of trees. 1t is useful
only as a croquet ground. 1t is more
than likely that in some spring there
will be wires attache. along the tree
trunks, and the lawn will be used for
a yard for penning up calves.
In figure we have rough sketch
of the same piece of ground and the
same house. The arrangement of ma
terials on the grounds, however, fol-
lows a more agreeable plan. The
roads and walks are gracefully curved
perhaps too much so; but at any rate
they turn aside and leave room for a
much larger stretch of grass on the
left of the house. The trees are placed
in scattered groups and the shrubbery
is arranged in heavy masses. Almost
anyone can see that the latter ar
rangement is preferable even in this
cold pen and ink sketch. Could the
two places be compared, with the trees,
shrubs and flower beds all complete,
the difference would be much more
striking-Country Gentleman.
