The city had been fired in several di-rcctlons-by the released oonviots, who, in oouiunotion with the Bedouins and women. Dorne-

irated horrible atrocities. They murdered'

hundreds of Europeans and Christians, the survivors being compel! el to fight their way to the beach, and there being rjasoned by the telegraph ship Cfailtern. A correspondent on board the Invincible telegraphs as follows: "After daybreak this morning a number of persons were seen on the edge of the water of the harbor. Glasses showed them to be Europeans. Boats were at once lowered, and crews armed to the teeth, started to the shore. They found about 100 Europeans, many of thorn wounded, who had gathered in the Anglo-Egyptian Bank and had resisted desperately. They had maintained themselves throughout the night Toward daylight their assailants drew off, and the party made their way to the shore. They reported that Arabi Pasha, before ha left with his troops, had the prisons opened, and that the oonvictR, joined by tho lower classes and some Bedouins, proceeded to sack the city and kill every Christian they could find, and sot ibo English quarter on fire. From the part they were defending, the Europeans oould hear shrieks and cries, and reports of pistols and guns. Scores of fugitives were cut down or beaten to death in their sight. The European quarter and tho great square are a mass of sinokiur; ruins. All the public buildings are destroyed, and nothing European seems to have escaped the rage of the fanatics. The scenes of carnage on shore are appalling. The town, for some hours after the troops left, was a veritable pandemonium." It is reported that the bulk of the Egyptian army is at

Kosetta, torty miles northeast of Alexandria, and at Damanlioar, thirty-tight miles southeast of Alexandria, The soldiers had joined in looting the city before leaving it. There has been a great toss of property. The Kngflsh, American, French, Italian and Austrian Consulates are burned. Arabi will probably fly to Upper Egypt The massacre of the 11th of June waa fearfully avenged upon the Arab batteries by the Irjxxible's 81-ton guns, fifteen hundred Arabs are dead and 2,000 wounded. Storm Pasha casts his fortunes with the Khedive, The sol tilery attempted to kill Tewfik, who, surrounded by some faith! ill friends, flod to Bamleh. In the British House of Lords Earl Granville said none of the great powers regarded the bombardment as other than an act of selfdefense. Secretary Frelingbuysen . states that three vessels of the Mediterranean squadron are at Alexandria, and Admiral Nicnolson telegraphs that no lives were lost among the Americnn resldente, Germany and Austria telegraphed Gladstone their approTal of the action of the British float Admiral Seymour landed about 1,000 marinos at Alexandria on the 14th inst, the bulk of whom were sent to guard the Khedive in his palace. They represented all the war ships in the harbor, the American complement being sixty men. Arabs were pillaging the town, and 200 marmos were given ordera to march about the city and shoot all rioters aud looters. Explosions were continually occurring. Apartyof blue jackets spiked nineteen guns in Fort GabarrL The number of Christiana dassacred by the mob is estimated at 2,000. It Is stated that Arabi Pasha was a fugitive, and that his troops were dispersing. The Turkish Prime Minister maintains he must be treated as a robeL Arabi gave orders to murder tbe Khedive, and burn and pillage the city before quitting it The fire continued with tma bated fury, and women were seen throwing petroleum upon buildings. All the Arabs carried white handker)hiefs on sticks. Some Egyptian police were still on duty helping to maintain order. Twentv armed Europeans, who escaped the general massacre, were told by a Paiha, whom they met on their way through the town, that tho Egyptian killed numbered over six hundred. A whole battalion of Arabs wore blown up in one fort during the bombardment. A Constantinople dispatch of the 14th says that at . midnight the onu.Dcuef Turkish Miuiatcra decided to make efforts to arrange the Egyptian difficulty, failing in which troops wonld be ' sent forward. The Prime Minister held that Amtn Pasha must be treated as a rebel, A London dispatch says that England will prooool vigorously against the EgrDtlan rebels, but will commit no art prejudicial to the rights of the Sultan. England and France are in aejord touching (he policy to be pursued. Advices from Alexandria of Sunday, July It, were to the effect that Arabi Pasha was awaiting rmhforcemehte from Cairo, and intending marching in force on Alexandria. Admiral Seymour was taking precautions to meet the attack. Arabi had teen deposed as War Minister by the Khedive, The fire continued, and Inceiidlariee were shot daily. It is believed that whole families of Europeans were thrown into the flames. Five of Aratn'i soldiers were captured .by marines and handed over to the Xnedive, who gave orders to have them shot by loyal troops, English sailors flogged many Arats who were guilty of arson, pillage, or rape, and four men were publicly shot for murder, and one as a spy. Tbe grain market had reopened, but hundred of people wore starving and houseless. The bombardment is known to have almost exterminatiid the Egyptian artillery corps. American marines were the first to land at Alexandria tc sid in restoring order, and were speedily followed by Germans, neither receiving instructions from tbeir Governments. In tbe identical note presented by the powers to the Porte Turkey is urged to dispatob an expedition to Egypt to occupy Hie country three months, tbo term to bo extended upon the demand of the Khedive, and no European Commissioners to accompany Ue Turkish troopi Admiral Seymour issued a maniferto at Alexandria, on July 17, acnounAing that he had undertaken, with the consent of the Egyptian Government, tho restoration of order. Nobody was allowed to leave town after sunset Some improvements wero -noted m the aspect of Alexandria. The ruins had been cleared away in some quarters, and dangerous buildings demolished by dynamite. The fire bad air most entirely oessed. One hotol was opened, and provisions had begun to arrive from tho country. Though incendlatiss snd robbers were being shot when captured, pillaging still continued to some extent In the provinces anarchy was reCed to rule, ami a massacre of eighty pean$ was said to have occurred at Hantab. Refugees from Cairo reported that a holy war was being proclaimed, and an outbreak among the natives of that city was) believed to be imminent. The situation at Alexandria waa practioally unchanged on the l(Hh. Order was being gradually restored under the suryeillanee of the British marines. An unsuccessful attempt was made to burn tbebuildlngoccnpiod as thehead-quarte.-s of tho American marines. Arabi Pasha oontinned to issue orders and make appointments in the name of the Khodive, It wasrumorec) tha, Eiiropeans to the number

of 308 had been massacred at Kafer-el-dwar. Attempts had been nude to Are Oairo, and it was feared that the European qituter would be burned by the people. Dervimh Pasha had been summoned to' Constantinople to give his Tiewi of the situation. The Egyptian question was debated in -the House of Commons and the French Ohstnter. Do lireycinot ann mneed the French policj M an alliance with England and action in concert with the behests of the powers. In Parllimvmt it wits announced that the identical note a4nt to the Porte was still unanswered ; andhe character of the Government's replies to questions was criticised by tho ConservttlTSS . Gladstone assumed full responsibility for Admiral Seymour's actions. TUB FAMILY DOCTOR.

. Thh discussion of the value of a aimEle skim-milk diet in Bright'a diseitse as been revived.

Tub actual constituents of beef tea and its physiological tjfieots are being tested abroad. Mr. nlusterman'a analysis shows it has a chemical composition similar to urine. Dr. Meal's aumyfiis shows similar results ; tbat it contains only about 2 per oeut of f olid matters ana they nre mainly products of muscular and Mood decern j ositiou ; and Dr. Launder Burton questions whether beef tea may not under some circnuiBinnoss be really poisonous. It is certainly merely a stimulant and not a food, Dr. Foole'H Health Monthly. According to the Practitioner a simple and effective remedy for removing the pain of wounds caused by burns or scalds is a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda in either plain or camphorated water. To apply the remedy, all that is necessary is to out a piece of lint ox old soft rag, or even thick blotting paper, of a sizo sufficient to cover the burned er scalded parts, and to keep it constantly well wetted with the sodaio lotion so aa to prevent its drying. By this means it usually happens that all pain ceases in from a quarter to halt aa hour, or even in much less time. When the main part of a limb, such as tbe hand and forearm or the foot and leg, has been burned, it is tteat, when practicable, to plunge the part at once into a jug or paii or other convenient vessel filled with the soda lotion, and keep it there until the pain subsides, or the lira t may be swathed or encircled with a surgeon's cotton bandage previously soaked ul the saturated solution and kept constantly wetted with it, thai relief binnj; usually immediate, piovided the solution be saturated and cold. Salt fob; th Thboat. la ihesu) days when diseases of the throjtt are s universally prevalent, and in so many cases fatal, we feel it our duty to smy n word in behalf of a most effectual, if noi a positive, core for sore throat. For many years past, indeed, we may say dining the whole of a life of more than forty yeara, we have been subject to ti dry, hacking cough, which is not only distressing to ourself, but to our friendti and those with whom we are brovighi; into business contact Last fall we were induced to try what virtue; there wan in common salt. We commenced by u.iing; it three times a day, morning noon and night. We dissolved a large tables-spoon-fol of pure table salt in about half ti small tumblerful of water. With thiti we gargled the throat most thoroughly just before meal time. The result hat t been that .during the entire winter wo were not only free from coughs iiudl colds, but the dry, hacking cough had. entirely disappeared. We attribute thesa satisfactory results solely to the use of salt gargle, and most cordially recommend a trial of it to those who are subject to diseases of the threat, Miiny persons who have never tried the salt, gargle have the impression that it is unpleasant, But after a few days' use no person who loves a nice, clean mouth, and a first-rate sharpener of the appetite, will abandon it The Uouaelioid, Poisons,- We all have a great horror of being poisoned, without exactly understanding what it is. Foison is a disorganization Of flesh and blood, or bosh. Poisons are of two kinds : one, the result of medicinal agents taken into the Atouach or circulation, the other the result of bites or stings of living creatures. I will new state two ideas, which, if generally known and remembered, would save thousands of lives every year. If

.you have-swallowed a poison, whether

laudanum, arsenic, or any outer uung poisonous, put atable-:ipoonful of ground mustard in'a' glass of water, cold or warm, stir and swallow quickly, and instantaneously the contents of the stomuoh will be thrown n., not allowing the poisonous substance time to be absorbed and taken into the blood; and, as soon as vomiting ceases, swallow the white of one or two new eggs for the purpose of antagonizing any small portion of the E risen which may have betn left behind, et the reader remember the principle,, which is, to get the poison out of you us soon as possible ; there aw other things which will have a speedy emetic effect, bat tbe advantage , of mustard is, it is always at hand, it acts instantaneously, without any after medicinal effects. The nse of tire white of an egg is that, although it does not nullify aU poisons, it antagonizes a larger number than any other agent so readily attainable. But. while taking the mustard or egg, send for a physician ; these are in order no save time, as the difference of twenty minutes is of ten death.

AJf ARKANSAS HORROR.

A Building Miracle by Llglitalng Falls Up en -ta (Malasna, Kllllsg Twenty-fire or Thirty During the progress of a heavy thunder storm at Texarkani, Ark,, lightning struck a new three-story brisk dwelling, shattering tho walls, which, toppling over upon an adjoining saloon, crushed it to atoms, burying in the ruins between fifty and sixty people, many of whom had taken temporary refuge therein from the storm. The announcement of the disaster passed swiftly all o rer the place, and, duapii-o iho raging storm, an immense crowd of peopio gathered around the fallen building searching for relatives and friends, or trying to loam tbo extent of the appalling disaster. Tho lights in the orushed structure set fire to the del-ris, and the peril of a widespread conflagration and consequent cremation of scores of dying and suffering nnfortunfctos was added to the horrors of the soeno. By the herouloan eirorta of eitiseni the flames were extinguished, not, however, until two or three buudmgs had seen destroyed. The work of searching for tho lidics of the killed and woundod was commenced as quickly as possible. A great crod gathered around tbe crushed buildings, the town being in mourning and business almost entirely sunpeuded. About thirty dead bodies wore taken from the ruins. Tbe dead, when found, presented a sickenin.; sight. The bodice were generally mangled, charred and ertuhed. The friends of tha shun, as they .recognised the dead, made tbi air ring with cries of agony, and the scene was affecting and hearlronduig in the extreme.

In tiie Canadian Parliament. They are a lilitle ponderous in their ways up in the Canadian Parliament, but the personal element of legislating is not entirely neglected there, an witness this from the proceedings : When the five membeirs rose to insist upon a division, Sir John Maedonald said this was tho last time he would trust to an agreement with the honorable leader of the opposition. That honorable gentleman, in consenting to the division, had broken his word. Hon. Mr. Blake "Does the righthonorable gentleman mean to say that I have broken my word ?" 8ir John Macdonald ' Yes, I do," Hon. Mr. Blake "I am amazed, " Hou. Mr. Rowell " You look like an amazed man.",w VrnaiHiA drinks np her entire wheat crop annually, and it in stated that the liquor drank in Louisiana costs $47,000,000 2,000,000 more titan its combined cotton, sugar and rice crop.

ASRICPLTPBAT-: Stacking Olovex.

In stacking olove:r, if convenient, the bottom of the stctck should be coveted

with old hay or straw about a foot dexrp, to keep the clover from gathering dampness from the ground, as it surely will.

often spoiling a ample of feet of the

Dottom of tne suuk. 'ine top snouia be of old hay also,, as clover does not turn rain, and the stack will be very

mnoh damaged if not well proteoted on the top. The shaps of a stack of clover, or, indeed, any other crop, has much to

do with keepmg it rcrom damage. Many farmers make a stack a regular cone from bottom to top, A stack to tie properly made should be egg-shapa.), whether bottom is of large or small size. The bulge in the iitacl; should be about 8ixfeet from tho bottom and tapered regularly to the top, and be about six

teen feet high. If thtts made, the lowijr

put and bulk, or the stack is proteotcia

by tbe bulge or wic'le part. After finishing, rake down relL and a stack, if

properly and solidly put up, will kep good for two or three years. But, affair aU, it is best to have a barn to secure all crops. A cone -sha ped stack is exposed from pit to done to destruction, and often is nearly or quite ruined if long left to the tOemunts. Cor, Jfenn and Firetide. Jbrhaustton of Soils. The chemist of Ihe National Department of Agriculture expresses the opinion that the fertility of the soil of the Western prairies ujiif be exhausted sooner than that of tbe rocky land in the Eastern States. He acknowledges tbitt the Western soils lire richer in matorints tor stimulating p ant growth and are capable of producing larger crops when first brought under the plow, but affirms that they are defbien . in means of regaining fertility after they nave produced several crops. They nre rioh in carbon and nitrogen but- are generally poorly supplied with potash, lime and phosphorus. The latter substances are rapidly taken np by growing plants and are permanently removed when small graias are raised and jxiarkc ted, as is aaually the case in the West. These materials are supplied to the soil by the disintegration of rooks in places where thijy abound, and the use of farming implements and the notion of the elements operate favorably in restoring to land what, is carried avray in crops harvested and sold. Portiocs of the country thut are broken and i-oolcy possess in crude form, all the materials for supplying the soil with plant food for all time. It .is true that the. rocks may not crumble fast enough to supply the soil with all the materials that are taken away from it under the common course of cultivation, but by adopting the resting process, which allows the land to be in grass a large part of the time, and following a judicious coarse of rotation, the fertility of the soil may be kept np without tbe application of commercLil fertilizers. The trouble is-in allowing them to become too much exhausted before undertaking to restore them. Chiaago Times. Thin Out the ITruit. Those who desire to produce the befit quality of fruit should not allow the:r tL-eee to overbear. But how oan we help it ? says one. W will tali you. Keep a good lookout among your trees, ani when yon see tho fruit is setting too thick begin the work (if thinning on ; This may be dona in various ways. If your trees have already been pruned back well and sufierfluous branches ot t out of the inside of the head, you should not use the shearu or the knife to ciit any more branches, but should only out off tha small fruit whero it has set too close together. With shears in html and a light, handy step-ladder you can go over the trees rapidly, clipping off parts of bunches of fruit, and thus relieving tbe tree of the draft upon it in attempting to perfect an over-crop, and turn all its force and strength to the perfection of what yea leave. If tbe tree has not been fully pruned, then nut the shears in outiang off and shortening back the branche s so aa to lessen tha amount of fruit oh the tree, and at th same time giving the tree shape and proportion. It it much better to do this lopping off of lim bs and long branches now than to allow an over-crop of fruit to break and lop ihera ff later in the season. A fair quantity of good, wellgrown and matured fruit is worth much more for use or to set. than a lwrge quantity of poor, hali -grown, iniiipil fruit. If you would avcid the latter and secure the formeif, attend to your fruit trees at once. Gi over the orchard now, and a month from now, if you find the trees still too full, go over them again ; but the sooner the surplus fruit is rumoved now the letter for the tree and the fruit left on :it Nearly all kinds ! fruit trees are inclined to overbear in Oalifornia, henna they require close watching and a goad deal of thinning out. Detroit Pott,

B Outtura. We take the fcllowing hints and suggeutiors from Mr. Newman's book, entitled " Bees ani Honey." Whioh Way Should Hive Face : There seems io be no facing superior to the one that allows the sun's rays tit shine directly into the entrance of a hive at 11 30 a. m. ?here is not a difference of any consequence 'between a south , southeast or southwest aspect, and selection may be made to suit the apiarist's notion. Next to this, we should say, face to the east; if this is impossible, then west -and wt en no other is available, submit to a north frontage. How Many Lhlonie to Begin With. Purchase a oolony fro n some reliable breeder or dealer, aud, in order to get experience, inoraaae from one or two colonies not more. As it is essentiial to know what to do, when to do it, and how lo do it, we oannot too strongly advise the beginner to purchase a good manual of the apiary, and study it well.. This is absolutely essential to bucobss. Buying " Swarmt. A first swarm is always to be preferred, and if possible from a hive that swarms the previous year, for then the old ctueen will be in her second yetir, vigorous and at her best, A small, second swarm should be passed by, in purchasing. Arrange the frame 1 inches from center to center ; tilt the hive forward, at an angle of 20 to 25 degrees, and they will be almost certain io build straighs on the combguides. If an old hive i purchased, let it be a heavy 'One in the spring, with straight comb coming entirely down to the bottom of the frames. Been Kept on Share. As soma may desire to keep bees "onsliares" though we never think it desirable to do so, as it so often loacls to mif understandings and quarrels we will .give the usual " terms " of such contrac ts : It is usual for one party to furnish the hives of bees, and tbe other party the care and labor. The expense of new hives, surplus boxes, comb foundation and queens are usually divided equally, but tho end of the season the honey and inoninse of bees are equally divided -leaving each to take all chances of marketing, m well as wintering. Always make a written contract, stating the agreement in full, and then there will be less liability of a mil understanding. Ante in the Apiary. These are sometimes troublesome in tho apiary. The following remedy is practiced and recommended by Mr. A. B. LoLavy : With a weeding hoe, oloar the ground in and arcund the yarci of weeds and tufts of grass ; in a day or two the ants will have established a trail from their beds to the hives. By this means yon can readily troos them ho me. To a five wtllon can of water, add say ton ounces of cyanide potassium, end let it dissolve ; with a trowel dig gently in the ant-bed. until you find the nest which

will be known by the white eggs. Then pour on the waller nd make the dirt into a tlunmud right in the nest, pour the water on plentifully, so as to effectually poison the very earth. By this means you dispose of ants and queen ant, and unfit the lwrv for reproduction. Yon may xaiss destroying it at tha first trial, but will eventually clean them out. Keep the cyanide of potash out of reach of children, as it is a violent poison. It retails at the drug stores for about $1 per pound. Removing Propolis from the Hand. We are often sked what will remove bee glue from the hands. Alcohol or spirits of turpentine will do it ; or a little slacked lime kept in the bee house will be found jonvenient during the summer, to remove propolis from the hands. Moisten the parts desired to be cleansed, then rub vdth wet lime until the propolis is removed.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

If you out piiie-apple in thin shoes and scatter sugar over it the day before yon serve it, you need not add any water to make tbe liquor. Keep it in a cold place. A bioh pudding sauce is made of the yelks of five egip, one cup of sugar, half a cup of batter ; beat all together till light, then add alowly one pint of boiling water. Veaxj steaks, in order to be palatable, must be cooked thoroughly, no matter how much haste the cook is in ; this should never be cent to the table till it is nicely browned, the edges and all. Salt and butter aid a decided sprinkling of black pepper are also necessary. Tomato sauce to pour over meat is made thus : Ste w half a dozen ripe tomatoes, with a littlei chopped parsley, salt and icpper to snif, taste ; steam it, put it on the stove again, and when it begins to boil add a spoonful of flour, rubbed smooth, with a teaspoonfnl of batter, and let it boil up onoe. To Kkkp Pme.lpfiiBS. Pare and cut out the eyes a a ripe pineapple ; strip all the pulp from the core with a silver fork ; to a pint of ttiti add a pound of granulated sugar ; stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, put in glass fruitoitns and turn do'rn thecovers as closely as possible. This will keep a long time. A.tebt appetising salad is made by chopping coarsely some cold boiled potatoes ; th en seat on well with salt, pepper and mustard ; Una a salad dish with fresh lettuce, thn put in a lnyer of potatoes ; on the top put a layer of cold boiled bee ts, also chopped and seasoned ; garnish the dish liberally with lettuce, and juvt before sending it to the table add vinegar, plain, or with ordinary salad dressing, Baxhd codfish is im excellent breakfast dish. Cut the ft ih in small pieces and let it toak al! niht in cola water. Li the morning piok it in shreds and let it simmer on the stove until it is tender, then draw off the water, and to onethird mashed potato put two-tatirda fish. Stir it ho that the potato will be evenly distributed. Bake vuktil it is a rioh brown on top ; stove with a sauce of drawn butter, in which out two hardboiled egga. An excellent mixture to remove grease spots, from boys' aud men's clothing parttonlarly, is made of four parts of alcohol to one part of nmmonia, and about half aa much etbsr ail tammonia. Apply the liquid to tho grease spoil and then rub diligently wilih d. sponge and clear water. The chemistry of the operation seems to be that tb; alcohol and ether dissolve the groiso, tmd the ammonia forma a soap with it .which is washed out with the water. Titte result is much more satisfactory thtiu when something is used whioh only seems to spread the spot and make it fainter, but does not actually remove it, U oil is spilled on a carpet and you immediately scatter corn meal over it the oil will be absorbed by it. Oil may also be removed from carpets upon whioh yon do not dare pot ether or anunonm by-laying thick blotting-paper over itf-nd pressing a hot flat-iron on it Repeat the operation several times, ming a clean paper each time.

lienarlwlaHti Insects. Throughout the whole insect kingdom it is surprising to fird such ardent passions in fragile little creatures. This is peculiarly no with the ants, whioh display more intelligence and system in their wars and predatory excursions than any other. iaemiMrs at the insect tribes, and in all their oabite, indeed, indicate what more nearly approaches reasoning than oan be disooverud elsewhere, except, perhaps, in the honisy-bee. The slavemaking instinct; is so strongly developed in certain speoise that a race of zealous servants tooometi actually indispensable to their existence, tad, in order to procure these slaves, thoy act like shameless pirates, It has been for a long time remarked that certniit ants 'carry others in their mouths cturirig their travels, but no one discovered it till Pierre Huber, an enthusiastic Swies naturalist, solved the problem. He discovered that these expeditions were re guUr idave raid carried out in the intereiita of the ant community, and executed, by main force. These small filibusters do not go into the markets to sell their ciptivea by auotion, but; like pleasure -losing tyrants that they are, keep them i order to im pose all household duties on them. At the head of th33 daring slave-makers we must pat tibo ml ant, or Amazon, the military expsditious of which have been most carefully obtierved by the naturalists of our time. They are so frequent that one rosy enjoy the sight of them any fine day during the summer season. ' Hubeif nays tbat the excursions of these warrior tribes have only one object that of caiTying off ante, so to Bpeak, in their swiiddling-olothes, from the midst of a laltoi-ioaii people, and converting them into iiiavue who will work for them. When the Aniacon takes the field in order to capture sloven, and especially the miner ants, of which it generally makes use, it troes a bout its work in a very orderly way, The excursion always begins vrhem night is drawing on. When they have issued from their abode, the Amazons iimy themselves in serried columns, and then urtay takes its way to the aut'a nest which it is about to despoil. In vain do the warriors seek to bar the entrance ; ;in sjnte of all such efforts the others penetrate into the very heart of the place, aud pry into all the compartments in n-der to choose their victims, the htrvu tad nymphs, this latter being the name given to the larvae after they have spun their cocoons, whence they are to ennergo perfect insects. The workeiA whioh oppose these raids are simply thrown down; they are not made piii toners, because they would adapt theouielveis with difficulty to the yoke ; the asiisilants want only young individuuli whnoh they can mold to their will Waen the place is completely Backed, etch conqueror takes a nvmph or larva) dolicatoly between its teeth and prepares to return. Those who can not find nymphs or lame carry off the mutilated, dead bodiea of their

But he knew as little of charity as he cared for it; and when he came, at the close of his life, to attempt Bomethinjr in that direction, he blundered with a faoility aud Mlf-confidence with ought to be enduringly instructive. It had been urged upon him that he owed something to the working-girls who had done so -much to build up his fortune; and so, tnrdily and ignoraaUy, he set about a scheme in their behalf. He built a huge structure, capable of housing a thousand people. Every feature of this stracturo, in view of the purpose for whioh it was designed, was a glaring incongruity aud then, when he had completed it, he condescended to ask the counsel of experts as to carry big his scheme into practical execution. He waa informed by those whose counsel he ought long before to have eoiigltt tbat the very character of his building prohibited it from being useful He Was shown tbiit to assemble 1,000 young women undor one roof in a wording-woman's house was to necessitate one of two things: either a police so vigilant and so intensive ns to be to any decent girl intolerable, or else a laxity so provocative of evil as almost to guarantee it.
