V.. ivs of America.

Sir Walter I3esa::t, in commenting on -""Mr. Hall Cairo's views of America and published in

ho Daily Chronicle, says:

"We c'-m't know the American people in this mutry, and we ought, to know "hera they ocme e.ver here by the thousand, by the hundred thousand, and wo •do nothing to entertain them or to make their acquaintance, or to show them that we should like to know them. Are wo ashamed of ourselves—of our homes —of our women, especially—that we do not want to show ourselves to them? We ...have no reason to be ashamed. "The English woman is not so intellectually cultivated as the American, hut she need not fear comparison. As for tho people generally, I am right glad to see Hall Caine proclaiming the truth about them—that is, that, they are 'almost childlike in their singleness of heart, easily moved by simple things, the youngest minded and the youngest hearted people in the world.' "As 1 did not say this myself, I copy it, I steal ir, aud I adopt it. The material greatness of America takes away one's breath the kindness of the Amer: leans takes away one's power of criticism. One does not go away from a delightful evening and begin at once to carp and sneer and insinuate suggestions.

Only, if by tiny machinery wo could do something to make the American visitor -feel at home with us, wo should "be doing a great thing for ourselves. I don't want him to be introduced to belted earls, but 1 waut Ameriem men aud women of culture to be able easily to meet English men and women of culture."

lysine Sense of c8lor.

The human oye, though trained to distinguish colors, may by want of use forget how to distinguish them. The unique experience of Dr. R. Hurley, F. R. S., relatod in the London Spectator, establishes tho fact that color can lie forgotten, as well as learned, by human sight.

Dr. Harley, in order to save the sight of one eye—or perhaps of both—when one was injured, voluntarily immured himself in a room made totally dark for nine mouths.

The fortitude which enabled him to adopt this course aud the ingenuity by which ho preserved his health and fac- I ulties in this the most mentally and physically depressing of all forms of imprisonment are sufficiently remarka- I hie, but Dr. Harley also kept an accurate record of his impressions when ho I at last looked again upon tho light, after tho suprei-.. moment at which he satis-1 fied himself that he was not blind, but' oould see.

He found that in tho nine months' darkness his eyes had lost all sense of color. The world was black, white and gray. They had also lost tho sense .of distance. His brain interpreted the picture wrongly. His hand did not touch the object meant to be grasped. Practice soon remedied tho last induced defect of sight. Experiment with skeins of various colored wool, in tho presence of one who had normal coior vision, re Etored the first.

Paris Omi?ibii*us.

Complaints that the Oiuuibus company darken their windows with advertisements are rife in Paris as in Loudon. In PariB, however, tho offending bills are put, not in the windows of the vehioles, but in those of the stations, where most people who have had experience of riding in the omnibuses of the French capital have spent many a tedious half hour. It is well known that French conductors can set down passengers, but cannot pick them up. The passengers have to go to tho nearest station, as on the railways, there to wait their turn, :nnd there being no competing underaground railways and an insufficient number of omnibuses to meet the requirements of the traffic, tliey often long time. In these cir-

have to wait a long time. In these cir-

cumstances it is feit to be a hardship

that they cannot seo the omnibuses from the inside as they draw up, but have to rush out in the cold or rain every time

The Halberd.

Ttie distinctive weapon of the Swiss was the halberd, which was their principal weapon at Morgarteu and Lanpen. It is curious to .note how the Teutonic nations, even to this day, prefer the cut and the Latin nations tbe point. We have been told by German officers that when the Germany aud French cavalry met in the war of 1870 the Germau sworel blades always flashed vertically over their heads, while the French darted in and out horizontally in a succession of thrusts. Even the German dead lay in whole ranks with their swords at arm's length. So tlio English at Hastings worked havoo with their battleaxes. The Netheilaud mercenaries carried a hewing weapon at Bouvinos. The

Flemings at Courtrai used their godendags fitted alike hoth for cut and thrust, end finally tho Swiss made pi with their halberds, an improvement on the fiodendiig.

The halberds had a point for thrusting, a hook wherewith to pull uk: from tho nuddle aud above all a broad, avy blade, "mu-:t tcrrific weapons (v.sldo terribilia"), to use tho words nf .lohn of Winter!bur, "cleaving men ii.-:u:idor like a w- d),o and cutting them into :'small pirn's. One can imagine how such blado at the end of tin eight foot shaft must have surprised galloping young geiit'emen who thought thenselves invuhuirabl-? in their armor.— I Maemillan's Magazine.

She K«pt Her Word.

A detective was bringing a-woman whom he had arrested at Boulogne surSeine upon a steamer to the prefecture, when at ihe Concorde biidgo a well dressed man threw himself into the river and was drowning. The detectivo is an excellent swimmer, and it cost him a painful struggle to see a fellow cieflturo loso his life. "If only I were alone,'' he said to his prisoner, I would jump into the water to save him.

The woman, who had been sentenced to 15 days' imprisonment for assault upon tho police, at once replied: "Do so. I will wait for you at fho pier and will not run away.'' The detective thereupon plunged into tho stream and seized the drowning in an by his clothes, when a boat struck against him violently and made him lose his grip. He dived again, but in vain, and, epiito exhausted, lie was pulled on board a small skiff, which was nearly smashed by a steamer coming from the opposite direction.

Thonms Ccrly

Carlyle certainly taught us to have a keen scent for :iit and to abhor it, though hi horror of cant certainly sometimes became a cant cf his own. The habit of denouncing can is very apt to blind us to tho cant of denunciation. Until men leave off eloeneut generalities aud look quietly .to their own hearts without blast of trumpets and glorification of themselves for stripping themselves of cant they will not strip themselves of the ver\ habit which most endangers their truthfulness aud sincerity. Carlylo taught us to despise cant, but hardly to detect ir in ourselves.

His genius was as impatient as his industry was patient. There was no toil which ho would not go through to make his books workmanlike, but a-great many of liis carefully compiled facts proved to be mo,re or less adapted to spoil the effect of his impatient epigrams. A great part of Carlyle's genius was a genius for happy exaggeration, though it was a kind o£ exaggeration which brought eiut, as nothing else could have brought out, the real drift and significance of social and political facts. Never did any man preach tho duty of submitting to wise authority more eloquently, but never was there a man of genius who was less inclined to subjugate his own mind to tha authority for whicli ho professed so Platonic an affection. He has flashed till manner of brilliant lights upon character and history, but he has not found for us any coherent code of wisdom or any valuable avenue tip religious truth.—London Spectator.

Uses of

Salt.

A littlo salt rubbed mi the cups will remove tea stains. .Salt into whitewash will make it stick better. Use salt and water to clean willow furniture, applying it with a brush and rubbing dry. Ginghams or cambrics rinsed in salt and water will hold their color and look brighter.

Salt and water make an excellent remedy for inflamed eyes. Hemorrhages of tho lungs or stomach are often checked by small doses of salt. Nemalgia of tho feet aud limbs can be cured by bathing night a: morning with salt and water as hot as can bo borne. After bathing rub the feet briskly wirh a

WASHING -DAY.

How the Fumily Laundering Is Ione In Various Countries The hardest worked washerwomen in tho world are the Koreans. They have to wash ahout a dozen dresses for their husbands, and, inasmuch as every man wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy that they would come up to his neck, liko those of a clown, they have plenty to do. The washing is usually done in cold water and often in running streams. The clothes aro pounded with paddles until they shine like a shirt front fresh from a Chinese laundry.

Tho Japanese rip thoir garments apart for every washing, and they iron thoir clothes by spreading them on a flat board and leaning this up against the house to dry. Tho sun takes tho wrinkles out of the clothes, and somo of them have quite a luscer. The Japanese woman does her washing ou' of doors. Her'wash tub is not more than six inches, high and is about as big round as the average dislipan. Site gets the dirt o- of tho clothes by rubbing them bet vnen her hands. She sometimes use:- Japanese soap, which is full of grease, and works away in her bare feet.

Tho Ci inese girls do their washing in much ho same way. Tho pretty short haired beauties of Siam wear their gowns when bathing in the river and wash them while taking their bath. When tiiey have finished, they trot up the stops of their floating houses, and, wrapping a clean sheet round their bodies, they slip off the v, "t clothes ancl wring them out to dry.

The washing in Egypt is usually done by the men. The Egyptian washerman stands naked on tho banks of the iilo and slaps the wet clothes, with a noh-o lil a tho shot of a pistol, on the smooth stones at the edge of tho running water, and such fellah women as wash pound tho dirt out of their clothes in the same ay.

Frenchwomen found the dirt out v. ith paddles, often slapping the clothes pon Ktr.::es as the Egyptians do.—Pearson's We- kly.

C/'.ARIES FOR CONVICTS.

Six Hundred Feathered Songritcrrt In Michigan's Principal I'rison. Convicts in the Michigan styte prison linvo many more favors than those of almost a«y other penitentiary in the United States, and it is the belief of the management of the institution that for this reason there are fewer outbreaks or lawlessness than are found elsewhere. Amoug the favors granted to them here is that of keeping aud caring for birds. There are fully COO feathered songsters in Michigan's principal penal institutions, all owned and cared for by the convicts, and as soon as daylight approaches on bright mornings their sweet notes are heard in striking contrast to the natural feelings of thoir owners.

Many of the most hardened criminals, from their general appearance and history, would not be expected to care for anything of a refining nature, yet they tenderly care for and caress their little pets.

More than three-quarters of the cells in tho prison contain one or moro canaries, and they are also found in various shops throughout the institution. During the ilay the cages are hung outside tho cells to give the birds light and air, but as soon as tho convict returns from work at night tho cage is taken inside.

Tho practice has been carrieel on in the prison for years, and tho officials say that, instead of any detrimental effect beinu noticeable, the little sonj sters have proved a benefit, as they not only give the a n.ore horn like appearance, but also wield a decided influe: in 'Ire v.iy of humanizing the most i.v Lic.-s on-- :.'deu(d criminal. •mittrd tn keep the heir company and •.: aie ...so allowed i. :•:.{! & any a dollar e'e'-.ti tho prisonv-' v.r.se tl:u con- :. :cy realized .rc'.s until ho is ed to his crcdit

Walrun' lVhiAkert For Toothpick*. A peculiar but profitable industry which Dr. Benjamin Sharp discovered among the natives of Alaska is the preparation and sale of walrus whiskers for toothpicks. Nuturo has armed tho walrus with a growth of whiskers which extend three or four indie's out from its snout, with the apparent motive of enabling it to detect the presence of an iceberg before actual contact has resulted. These whiskers aro quite stiff, and this quality improves with ag-. When a walrus is killed, tho natives proceed to pull out with tho aid eif rude pinchers each separate whisker.
