WHAT A PHILOSOPHICAL TAILOR SAYS OF CLASS AND STYLE. How Clergymen, Doctors, Lawyers, Sports Actors, and Politicians Array Themselves—Lawyers the Worst Dressers in the World—The Dudes. There are always certain classes of men who have styles of their own. They pay little attention to the latest fashions except to modify them into the direction of their own ideas. This habit is said the tailor, with dignity, "I regard as the consummate flower of a high civilization. It gives the individual a market character. It distinguishes him from the head. To the civilians his payments are as much an evidence of the calling—to one who can treat the signs—his uniform to a solider or his livery to a footman. There are clergymen for instance. Who can take care even though he doesn't affect the clerical cat, which he ought to by the best cut for a number of probates, and I tell you, sir, they have got to wear a coat with a straight collar and a vest that buttons around the neck—Church of England costume, sir, or none at all from my establishment." But how," included the reporter, "are you to distinguish the doctor and the lawyer? Only a notice would ask that question. Physicians in good practice—and, of course, I have none other among my customers—the most pertinent of men. Take a Madison avene practitioner as an example—and he's the ideal doctor for your large stout not to say a trifle tabby, and weeping a belt carries himself well great dignity immense pomp. He dresses in fine blues diagonal, with rich black hersey top coat, and all must fit him without a winkle. Sometimes he in dulcis in a fancy earrings vest, and the big bunch of cats he couples at his feet sets off the next stomach to sit in the world. In hot gooses and blots, he is unrecognised and extraagent. His WHAT DO THE CHINESE EAT? Dog soup, Cat Friedness, and Rat a la Mode Not Daily Dishes. When I was at Lake View in August at the New England assembly, and having a "real nice time" telling the children about China, I devoted a half hour to talking about the "Daily Food of the Chinese" to some forty boys and girls; and here I repeat, the matter for the sake of others curious to learn the truth—trusting a little natural indignation and plain speaking may be excused me. Americans are fond of wonderful stories. Nothing pleases them more than to hear something resolving or strange about other people. Nations and races who resemble themselves are not worth attention. Hence travelers—knowing fellows all of them—possibly find it profitable to startle them with accounts as marvous as they are false. Not that these accounts are always wholly untrue, but that solitary instances and occurrences are magnified to represent habits and customs of a whole people. Belonging to this class of accounts are those relative to the use as food in China of certain animals. I find that Americans believe that dog soup, cat friedness, and rat a la mode are dishes to be found daily on every table in the empire. The fact is that there are some peculiar people in China as elsewhere, credulous and superstitious, and some of these believe that the flesh of those animals I have mentioned possesses medicinal properties. For instance some silly women believe that the flesh of rats re stores the hair. Some believe that dog meat and also cat-meat renews the boil, and quacks often prerile it. Then it is also likely that there are very poor people who have no money to buy proper food and therefore subsist upon what they can get rather than starve. But I have lived fifteen years of my life in China, and have had experience at public banquets, social dinners and ordinary meals, and in company with all classes of people but I have never seen cat, dog or retagay form whatever. What then do the Chinese eat? Our gardens are proximal of vegetables; our ponds, rivers and lakes swarm with fish; our farmyards are crowded with pigs, Only a notice would ask that question. Physicians in good practice, and of course, I have none other among my customers—the most particular of men. Take a Masonian practitioner as an example and he is the ideal doctor for your large stout not to say a trifle tabby, and wearing a belt, carries himself well great dignity immense poise. He dresses in fine black diagonals with rich black herring top coat, and all must fit him without a wristlet. Sometimes he in dugges in a fancy earlore vest, and the big bunch of coats he can handle at his toenails the next stomach to sit in the world. In hot groves, and blades he is uneventful and extraagent. His scents are the richest his hands and can taste the heat. He wears three diamond rings no other pierced but the sapphire. Well she has an impressive spectacle, rich and elegant, finished, and more pleasing to the eyes of a rich woman than hot house flowers. But always take it don't care how it looks, if it goes on easily, just guess you that isn't what true artist big lawyers have paid high prices for suits that when I saw them sent a driver through me. Such garments would give any establishment but mine had name. Another class who dresses characteristically, continued the tailor, ornately, male of business. They was a dozen cows and as many trousers and jeans and the like do not undress after the latest fashion. Yet your true sense of fashion is no chic. He is never too smart and never has on shining new clothes. As the patron of the elegance that comes only with long experience or a careful violet—that shows, and it's what the mime could move catch on to. The dudes and all the needles who merely copy the most travelling fashions while they are one of paying customers, don't compel our admiration. It is the man who knows his style and dresses up to it who is the true dream. Of course even you can always recognize the sporting man. He is a species with divers classes. The racing man does differently from the yachting man. The dog fancier has silent peculiarities unlike those of the horse fancier, and the more gambler, who looks on sports of all sorts as simply opportunities for book-making has a style all his own. But they differentiate in little things—trinkets, hound and like. They are all fond of high colors and unique patterns. Their abundant jewelry is apt to be in the form of pages heads or racing insignia. Most all have a weakness for bell crowned hats, yellow-slithed gloves and pointed shoes. The cane reined you of the neck and head of a stork, with the long bill on the top. They are a knowing crowd, mostly, but about dress they're as innocent as babies. Closely allied to sporting men are actors—from a taller's point of view, but there's a wide difference essentially. The sporting man wants to dazzle you; the actor to impress and overcome you. The sporting man will distribute his magnificence all over him; the actor relies on some such concentrated effect as a seal skin coat or a low cut shirt color and a wide brimmed hat. He wants his clothes cut, not to fit him, but to drap him, and he arranges himself in attitudes favorable to classic folds. Actors are liberal customers when they have money. Politicians stand new with us. They are the fellows for new clothes. They want you to distinguish the doctor and the law. Only a notice would ask that question. Physicians in good practice—and of course, I have none other among my customers—the most particular of men.

The Difference. [Irish-American.]Whena wounded Arabisbutcheredbya cold blooded"Black Watch"coward,hisfollowsfornewclothes!Theywant The Man With the Quill Toothpick. [Arkansas Traveler] As civilization advances the man who uses the quill toothpick gradually retires. Of course the statutes do not忍ish a law to justify the severe punishment of the man who picks his teeth with a quill, but this is the result of oversight rather than lenency on the part of our legislators, for no man, provided with a full complement of nerves, can contemplate the goose-quill barbarian without feeling a strong desire to do him bodily injury. This man, when he has finished the atrocious work of gouging his teeth, keeps the quill in his mouth and talks through it. He makes some sage like remark and then sucks the quill as though he would draw back his words. If he should be standing, and you should be occupying a similar position, he will approach, poke his face under the bristle of your hat and whistle his words in your face. He may be a man of high standing, he may be the monolith of a church or the solid column of a temple of justice, but with all, he is a heathen. He has no respect for human existence. He has no respect for the human body whose every molecule trembles when he comes around with his diabolical quill. Man of bestial instincts, let him be hanged. Novel Halfroad Experiment. [Chicago Herald.] A novel experiment of carrying a nail road through a forest has been tried in Sonoma county, California. The trees are sawn off and leveled and the lies are fastened on the stumps, two of which are huge redwoods standing side by side and reaching seventy-five feet from the ground. So firm is this support that heavily loaded care pass over with perfect security. Sydney Smith: I will do human nature the justice to say, that we are all prone to make other people do their duty. Fifth Avenue Children. [Joe Howard in Boston Herald.] Fortunately, children are scarce in Fifth avenue the necessities of fashion for large families. Such as come receive little of a mother's care until they are old enough to be put on exhibition, to accompany "mamma" in a drive through the park, or to occupy the front seats of the opera box, when they should be soundly sleeping in their beds. They are dressed to death, are always in charge of a maid when out for a walk, and know little of the pure, free joys of childhood. So they grow up to be premature men and women, fitted only to imitate the follies, and, alas, too often to repeat the bitter experiences of their parents. An Old Man's Mistake. [Y. M. C. A. Watchman.] Men do grow old whether they feel it or not, and nothing excites so much contempt among men as an old man trying to hold on to young men's ways, and to keep young men as his companions. Such men are usually the jest of those who, for interested motives, tolerate their companionship. New Orleans Picayune: It is libelous to injure a man by telling the truth about him with malicious intent. The truth must be told as if it would harm good, and with the best of intentions. Mr. E. R. Hoyt, a mechanical engineer at the New Orleans Exposition, was severely injured by a huge derrick pole falling on his foot. He was conveyed to his residence and after only three applications of St. Jacobs Oil, all the swelling and pain disappeared, and he resumed his duties. A Sect Which Wears Bangs. [Boston Journal.] There is a religious sect in Ohio called the Amish, who have been banging their hair for 150 years. Professional barbers are scorned and fathers cut the children's hair while mothers perform the same ceremony for the fathers. Beginning at the temple the shears are run in a direct line over the car and down the neck, thence up over the ear to the other temple, and the result is a most beautiful bang. The Difference. [Irish-American.] When a wounded Arab is butchered by a cold blooded "Black Watch" coward, he is an enemy despatched upon whom bare justice has been executed. If Col. Stewart, a marauding invader, sent out to slay and murder innocent people, happens to be caught in a trap and killed, he is "massacred," and at once all British Christendom howls for a holocaust. A Fast Night Train. [Ecclinger.] She was going on a journey and a long night's ride was before her. "O dear," she sighed, as her husband bade her good-bye on the sleeping-car, "this night travel is so tedious, and the hours are so long." "Don't be discouraged," he said. "You are on a fast train and the night will slip by very rapidly." Don't Advocate Them. [Detroit Free Press.] Don't turn in and advocate underground telegraph wires. In the course of the next 200 years, when this country has been denuded of forest, the supply of telegraph poles will be large enough to keep the oven hot until genius comes to the front with artificial cord-wood. A Puzzle. [The San Francisco.] Why men should go peacocking about in gaudy uniform, merely because they intend to vote for this or that candidate for office, is what puzzles most people who are not themselves guilty of the folly. The oyster exists from Halifax to Charleston and the snapping turtle from Calabria to the equator. Ohio has more colleges than any other state in the union. Judge—The sentence of the Court is that the prisoner be confined in State Prison for the remainder of his natural life. Prisoner—But, your honor— Judge—Not another word, sir, or I'll give you four years more. Ayer's Saraparilla has such concentrated curative powers, that it is by far the best cheapest and surest blood-purifier known. WEEKLY GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1885. THE CHINESE EAT!

Some of Their peculiarities—Nonsense About smoking—Bashful Blind Folks—Advance in Teaching the Blind—Methods of Instruction. [Philadelphia Press] "The belief that blind people don't care about smoking is all nonsense," said William Chapin, the principal of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, to a reporter, "although it is one that has been largely indulged in. It is part of a theory that the pleasure of smoking depends on the satisfaction derived from seeing the smoke and the fire. As a matter of fact, we have inmates here who enjoy nothing so much as tobacco. In some cases we have had trouble in curing patients addicted to the use of the weed, and altogether. I think there is sufficient evidence to disprove the fire and smoking theory. People acquire the art of smoking after the eyesight has been destroyed." Mr. Chapin on being asked to define the idioms, phrases of the blind said with a smile: "There is very little difference between the blind and those with sight, and there is no mystery whatsoever about the sightless. The general makeup of the blind and those that can see is the same. A great number of blind people have lost the use of their eyes before they were 3 years old. When they grow up they develop characteristics that one might suppose would only come from the ability to see and compare. The little blind girls, who have not much recollection of what things in the world look like, get somewhere or other a love of dress, and they display all the vanity of the everyday child, who can see and admire itself in the loosening glass. They learn to know what colors suit them, and insist on being at their best." You will, perhaps, think it strange that they who cannot see appreciate the existence in others of sight which, Plays of Human Interest. Dramatic fashions are as susceptible to the caprices of public fancy as the fashions which married men and fathers of families find such frequent occasions to deplore. But no matter what the present fashion may be in the drama, there is one phase of it which will never go out of date. Comic opera, farce, melodrama, spectacle and pantomime may rise and fall in popularity, but the drama of human interest will remain monarch of the field. Just now a mania for farces is raging among our managers. The success of a couple of these frothy nothings has set the entire managerial fraternity to work to overstock the market. It is always the way. One successful melodrama floods the country with melodramas; one comic opera makes a hit, and comic opera companies grow into being like weeds in an abandoned garden. The reasoning faculties of the average manager are just sufficient to suggest him that he ought to make money by doing what somebody else makes money off of. He does not consider that the novelty which makes money for one man is no novelty in the hands of an imitator. The drama which withstands all the mutations of time, which people will always go to see no matter what opposition attractions there may be, is the drama which touches their hearts. We may laugh at plays with babies in them, but such plays are invariably successful, because the babe is merely a natural human interest which enchains the audience and reuses its sympathies. Give the public human interest, intelligence and plausibly expressed, and you can count upon its support without fail. All plays devoid of this element are hollow and exotic. They may catch the passing fancy by their novelty, but their charisma is soon exhausted. The play with nature in it is the only one that lasts. Cells Thaster's Courtship. A curious story is told of the romantic courtship of Mrs. Celia Thaster, the poetess. Her early life was spent on the Isle of Shoals, where she still goes for the summer. Her father, deceased a few years ago, was known as the Hermit of Anaheim, California: Saturday, May 23, 1885. "MY UNCLE'S" HOUSE. PAWNBROKERS OF TEN ABETTORS OF THIEVES AND BURGLARS. How the Police Manage Them—Odd Deposits in the Pawnbrokers' Loft Story of a Family's Downfall—Pawned for a Pittance. [New York Herald] In New York especially pawnbrokers are the greatest aids and abettors that thieves can have. A man snatches a diamond ring from the ear of a woman. He can't sell it, he can't convert it into clothing; he can't turn it in to his landlord for the rent; but he can go to the nearest pawnbroker and get near its value. A foot-pad jerks a watch and chain from the pocket of a fellow passenger in a street car. It's of no use to him as money he can't turn it into victuals or drink; but he can run to a pawnbroker and get a substantial sum upon it. A servant, rumaging her mistress bureau, discovers a roll of expensive lace a bit of finery, a trinket, a ring, a chateaine, an expensive fan, anything. What good are these things to her as an individual? She dare not utilize them as wearing apparel; she would be afraid to give them as presents to her friends; there is no way for her to sell them to fellow servants or to strangers; so were it not for the pawnbroker, she might as well have remained an honest woman. In the pawnbrook she can get a reasonable advance; it being a fair supposition that she can get more than her mistress could; for with an instant's glance the pawnbroker detects that "the woman isn't the owner of the article; and, inferring that she is a thief, he says to himself: "A liberal advance upon this will be a very cheap purchase." Many pawnbrokers are unquestionably blinds and convenience for the use of thieves and burglars. This the police understand thoroughly, and they have no hesitation in going bolly to the proprietor of this or other pawnbroker and demanding that watch No. 16,407 be in For instance some silly that the flesh of rats eat meat renews the boil, then precries it. Then likely that there are very who have no money food and therefore subsist can get rather than starve fifteen years of my life have had experience at public dinners and ordinary company with all classes of never seen cat, dog or whatever. The chinese cat? Our usual substitute for articles make up the every people. But there are known to your tables that great delicacies by every which I have told you about birds' nests. Another is Chinese keep very few that beef is not as pork, and that many in account of religious butter, and cheese are articles of diet. The one is rolling the calves to on the cows. And Mental Work. Workable who are stars find it painting the same character There is something about a factor of his vigor, and, even it not injuries it affects the mind. Mr. the great English tenor, the bad song "My Pretty lines that it required a part to get through it—the words of the song has been playing "Hunts but it wearies him to Jefferson has so long re-zip Van Winkle that confused while playing it has so long acted in the confessions his mind is troubled to prevent him from one scene to cry, that warder of the other sensitive faculty, bring up occasionally, and fresh material is as benefit of water upon a faded instant repetition of "Vir mediator" and one or two ending over a period of routine of stage business requires night after one of the causes, if not of Mr. John McLoughnay. This may appear who do not like by yet if any man will compose and keep repeating or even months, he will irritate feeling, and memory to prevent his words, and in time there total want of the recollection in which the lines The teaching of the blind is advancing every year. We have taught them to do problems in geometry. They fix the lines in their brains as perfectly as the would draw them on paper, and then they demonstrate I have no doubt that the impression of an object on the mind of a blind person, when it got there, would be very strong, stronger than a mind picture with any one else. There would be nothing to take into view with it. If a man can see tries to think continually of a figure or object it cannot fail to be continually blurred out by the appearance of some other of the thousand and one things his eyes encountered during the previous few minutes. In our instruction of the blind we put before them models or specimens of the things we wish to call to their attention. In explaining to them, for instance, the manufacture of cotton, we place in their hands samples of cotton pools, and then pieces of the cotton in every phase of its passage, from the plant to the article of clothing. We do the same in silk, cocosons and silk in every stage of manufacture. They absorb good ideas from their sense of touch, of what the thing is like, but it is rather doubtful if they could tell a cocoon from a peanut with their fingers. Then they study anatomy, and learn about the human frame with astonishing case. Just now we are teaching them what has never before been attempted. It is a musket drill. We commenced in September. You know, I suppose, that the blind pupils have learned to march and go cause the bale is merely a chain of natural human interest which enchains the audience and reuses its sympathies. The give public human interest, intelligently and pianisably expressed, and you can count upon its support without fail. All plays devoid of this element are hollow and exotic. They may catch the passing fancy by their novelty, but their charm is soon exhausted. The play with nature in it is the only one that lasts. Cells Thaxter's Courtship. [Albany Journal] A curious story is told of the romantic courtship of Mrs. Celia Thaxter, the poetess. Her early life was spent on the Isle of Shoals, where she still goes for the summer. Her father, deceased a few years ago, was known as the Hermit of Shoals. When quite a young man disappeint, it is said, in the matter of some political office on which his heart was set, caused him to become a recluse, and purchasing the island of Appledore from New Hampshire for some $250, he erected there a small cabin. The delightful location, quiet, fair scenery, and pure air attracted the attention of summer tourists, particularly invalids, and requests for board began to be received. Gradually the cabin was enlarged until it had become a summer hotel, though conducted in the most indifferent manner as to whether guests came or went. They can never sought after. When the daughter Celia reached the age of 15 a young lawyer at the island for his health fell in love with her. Duly and respectfully he requested her hand of her father who仁然 ordered him off the island. Repecting the rights of proprietor hip, the young man removed to an adjoining one, and there crecting a little but avowed his intention of remaining until the daughter became age, when he would marry her. Recognizing probably, the fellow's obstinacy and strong will the father relented, stipulating for a year's delay. That pass ing, they were married. Mighty Choice About Soap. [St Paul Press Journal] He was a dapper little fellow, and he tended the fancy counter in a big St. dry goods store. "You'd be surprised, said he to the reporter who was trying to get a pair of silk suspenders for 50 cents. "you'd be very much surprised to see how particular some folks are about the things they use on their washstands. I know gentlemen in this town who won't have a nail brush after it's a bit worn, and always buy the very best London or Paris makes. They don't ask the cost, but just Is it the best you've got? Same way about tooth brushes. They often give up a dollar for a tooth brush because the bristles are of the fine sort that come high—high on the hog's neck. I mean. We don't sell sponges, but I suppose it'd be the same about them—with the men I mean. But soaps! Well, I declare sometimes it makes me smile to see a big man study for half an hour whether he'll have jockey club, patchouli, rose geranium, westend magnolia, or new-mown hay. These awful particular fellows won't have any but French soaps. They tell me it pays to get 'em, for an 80 cent or $1 cake outfits all the other and cheaper sorts three times. It is good all the way down too, and is sure to be old enough to lather up well." Wales and Lady Romney. [London Corner San Francisco Argonaut.] Here is another instance of the princess's silly huffiness with women for the merest trifles. The other night he was talking to Lady Romney at a bail. "I hear, Lady Romney," he said, "that Lord Romney has a nickname. What is it? Instead of replying, Lady Romney said: "Sir—every one addresses the prince, sir—" "Sir, I hear that you are called 'Tummy.' Lt it true!" Without a word, he turned with a scowl and walked away, heedless of the attention his rude behavior attracted to her. He really had only himself to blame, for he had no right to speak of a husband to cause the bale is merely a chain of natural human interest which enchains the audience and reuses its sympathies. Give public human interest, intelligently and pianisably expressed, and you can count upon its support without fail. All plays devoid of this element are hollow and exotic. They may catch the passing fancy by their novelty, but their charm is soon exhausted. The play with nature in it is the only one that lasts. Many pawnbrokers are unquestionably blinds and conveniences for the use of thwws and burglars. This the police understand thoroughly and they have no hesitation in going boldly to the proprietor of this or other pawnbshop and demanding that Watch No 16,407 be instantly delivered to them, and that a revolver of a certain make, with peculiar ornamentation, be given up or, that rolls of silk stamped so and so be delivered. The records of the police are marvelous exhibitions of the racalities of some of the pawnbrokers of the city. A tour through the musty rooms and lofts of a pawnbroker's place reveals many and many an odd deposit. Watches of every pattern and value, trinkets of every sort, diamonds and rubies and pearls and emeralds are in the safe. Wepsons of all kinds, canes and pistols, knives and swords and daggers, modern revolvers and revolutionary masks. Spanish stilltettes and American bowie knives; delicate postards and Scottish broadwands; the fashions of centuries in gowns and frocks and costumes; books; ancient and modern and in every tongue; every conceivable article played with by children; toyed with by women; utilized by men; carpets; stoves; eyeglasses; shirts; pictures; photographs; thermometers; pressed autumn leaves; basketlets; canes; bookgammon boards are packed or stacked away; according to their nature and their value; every now and then these pawnbrokers have a sale. They are privileged at this expiration of a certain time to publicly offer at sale the unredeemed plaques. It would be a very easy matter to tell the story of a family's downfall, dating from the death of the bread winner, the father, and the struggle of the wife and mother to keep the heads of her children and herself above the water of debaity boarding house experiments. She first paws her jewels; then their pictures; she piano has to go; the guitar that stood in the corner follows suit; the best bound boards every article of luxury; all the articles not absolutely necessary to convenience find their way to the pawnbroker. The boarders don't pay; the rent is not forthcoming; a dispossession warrant follows; and only way money can be had is by pawning something that is left. What is left? Well, the sapliskin coat, the black silk dresses out of common when father was alive; furnishal money with which to move and set down. And that is what they keep doing settling down each settle being a little further down than its predecessor; until sickness comes when money must be had for the doctor; and prescriptions have to be paid for on delivery. But what's used? We have all seen it: some of us have endured it. The end comes in a garret or a cellar; and loving wife and the thoughtless children, who in other days knew the luxury of comfort nowake out a miserable existence; everything gone not sold for its true value; but pawned for a pitittance and charity—pretty tough lot that—does the rest till city burries them out of sight. One of the Coming "Reforms." [Peek's Sun.] The act of disguising patent medicine advertisements by covering them up with an interesting article in a crime; and should be punishable by law. Men who never swore in their lives have been known to swear like troopers when they had become interested in some article; and had it end up something like this: "Bowzine is a sure care for jinjams." or "Use Quill." The Queen's Pipers. [London Letter.] But the most picturesque feature of all is the "Band of the Queen's Pipers." It consists of twelve bag-pipes, under the direction of Mr. Willie Donald, but is divided into two divisions as the drum and five band, the drums of the latter being used to accompany the pipes. The pipers are all dressed in the complete Highland costume, the fartan being that of the clan Douglas. "Willie" Donald, the leader and the queen's private piper, is a splendid specimen of the Scotch manhood, standing six feet two, and carrying himself like an antlered stag. His head is poised with a proud and perfeet grace, and he has the springing step of an Indian. The shrill pipes playing the martial music of the Highlands stir the blood of the multitude of admirers. Orange-hating. [Chicago Times.] Orange time is approaching and the usual paragraph appears describing how the Brazilian or Cuban eats oranges, and contrasting our climax methods with the deftness of the tropical cater. The small boy who audaciously seizes the orange, makes a hole at one end, and proceeds to draw in the fragrant juice, understands the process as well as the most fastidious orange-cater in any clime. Baldness may be avoided by the use of Hall's Hair Renewer, which prevents the falling out of the hair, and stimulates it to runawed growth and luxuriance. It also restores faded or gray hair so its original dark color, and radically cures nearly every disease of the scalp. Wales and Lady Romney. [London Cor. San Francisco Argonaut.] Here is another instance of the prince's silly huffiness with women for the merest triples. The other night he was talking to Lady Romney at a ball. "I hear, Lady Romney," he said, "that Lord Romney has a nickname. What is it?" Instead of replying, Lady Romney said: "Sir—every one addresses the prince, sir—'Sir, I hear that you are called 'Tummy.' Is it true?" Without a word, he turned with a scowl and walked away, heddles of the attention his rude behavior attracted to her. He really had only himself to blame, for he had no right to speak of a husband to his wife in a way that he would not allow himself to be spoken to by the wife. Lady Romney is to be complimented for her spirit. Experimenting with the Oyster. [Chicago Herald.] Bauchon Brandely, in order to study the embryonic growth of the oyster, perforated the upper shells by means of a trepan. After the hole is made and the particles of the shell carefully removed, a stopper is prepared of linen, wax, or some other material, to exclude the water and the enemies of the oyster. The shell is constructed by a thin layer of pearl in about eight days. In order to prevent the growth being too rapid while the observations are going on, the stopper is turned around every two or three days. Rio Janelro's Ways. [Exchange.] A traveler in South America says every window in Rio Janelro has a woman in it. The measure of the respectability of a funeral there is the number of mules to the hearse. After a hard rain in Rio the streets are flooded, and big negroes earn tips by carrying ladies and gentlemen from one dry spot to another. It is said the only place a Brazilian does not smoke is his coffin. The common beast of burden in Rio is the head, after the Holland style. Dosn't Use the Weed. [Chicago News.] "I thought you told me you didn't use tobacco." "I don't." "But you are puffing a cigar now." "Yes, but that's only a 5-center. No collar." Farmer—"Looking for work, eh? What can you do?" Tramn—"Well, I don't want to beg. I'm kind o' delicate. Hard work don't agree with me, but for sittin' down in a cornfield and scarin' crowds away, there ain't no one can beat me." The fellow who slept under cover of night says he came near freezing for want of clothes. Wife and the thoughtless children, who in other days knew the luxury of comfort, now eke out a miserable existence, everything gone, not sold for its true value, but pawned for a pittance, and charity—pretty tough lot that—does the rest till the city buries them out of sight. One of the Coming "Reforms." [Peck's Sun.] The act of disguising patent medicine advertisements by covering them up with an interesting article is a crime, and should be punishable by law. Men who never swore in their lives have been known to swear like troopers when they had become interested in some article, and had it end up something like this: "Booze is a sure cure for jimjams," or "Use Quillweed's Cream for Goose Pimples." Such advertising dodges as those can be seen in almost every newspaper, tempting men to thrash their wives, or to kick their mother-in-law, and still we wonder at the prevalence of crime. No, it is very wrong, and should be stopped at once. Obstructions in the Water Pipes. [Scientific Journal.] Two methods are in use in Philadelphia to prevent chemical obsessions in the water pipes. One is to coat the interior of the pipes with coal tar pitch, which does well enough for large mains and keeps the passage tolerably clear for more than a quarter of a century. The other method is the one called "bower barff," which consists of subjecting the pipes at a high temperature to the action of steam or air, so that there is a film of magnetic oxide acquired by the metal. This insures a clean surface for a long time. Wicked Japanese Noblemen. Jiji Shambo, a Japanese newspaper, is quoted as declaring that Japanese noblemen have united themselves by immorality and luxurious living for the responsibility of state, and warns them that if they do not turn over a new leaf they will soon be as low in the scale of humanity as German princes. The Thought-Reader in Russia. [Chicago Herald.] Irving Bishop, the great thought reader, having read the thoughts of too king and queen of Sweden, has gone to St. Petersburg. It is thought that ear will put him at work on some of the Nihilist suspects. Lord Braxford was an eccentric Scotch Judge, with a half-tempered wife. His batter determined to leave because Lady Braxford was always scolding him. "Why," explained the Judge, "you're little to complain—ye may be thankful you're not married to her." GAZETTE. NO.
