Breesy and Ueneroux. The flan Fiyinciscana must be a goodnatured people. Perhaps there is something in the Pacific Ocean which softens and subdues the rugged places in human nature. Mrs. Caroline 0. Leighton, whose little book upon “Life at Puget Sound” has attracted so much attention of late, meations several pleasing instances of Californian gen-, eroaity. She speaks of a man so crippled that he coula only get along Uy drawing the whole length of his body upon the sidewalk, like a large reptile, but who managed to earn his living by selling newspapers, which were laid in a pile on his Lack, so that ho was his own newß-etand. Men passing by helped themselves to a paper, and tosssd a silver chin into his box, always refusing the change. The mon had a bright, sunny, sailor face, and seemed to enjoy life very much. A different but still more striking example of the ready sympathy of the Californians, was presented to her while waiting one day at the Oakland Ferry. Two men entered the place, one of whom carried in his hand a pair of crutches, which he proceeded to nail up against the wall, crossed, close to the gateway where passengers passed to the boat. His companion arranged some light drapery above them in the form of wings; and beneath* these symbols they placed a small table with the photograph of a little news-boy upon it. Mrs. Leighton inquired the meaning of this arrangement, and was told that it was the stand of a little cripple who for two or three years had been accustomed to furnish papers to passengers. He had just died, and, as some money was necessary to pay hie funeral expenses and assist the family, his friends had taken this dramatic method, so eminently Californian, of aking for codtributions. “All the business men, the every-day passengers, crossing to their Jiome on the Oakland side,” slv* says, “appeared to understand it, and quietly laid some piece of money beside the picture. Sttn who would have been very likely to meet a subscription paper with indifference, on being appealed to in this ► poetis manner, with no ward spoken, -only seeing the discarded crutches and the white wings above, with moist eyes laid their little tribute below as if it were a satisfaction to do so.”— Youthu’ Cwnpanion.

Newspapers and Progress. Newspapers, above all other enterprises, must keep up with the march of progress, says Murat Halstead. Fifteen years ago a New York newspaper in getting a new outfit of printing presses congratulated itself that the acme of perfection had been reached and that no change would be needed until the presses were worn out. But in less than five years every one of those presses were in the junk shop, although they were doing better .work than when first set up, and from $15,000 to $25,000 had to be sacrificed on every one of them. They were not worn out, but new inventions had put them behind the times. M. L. THOMPSON * CO..

Lucien de Hem bad seen his last bank note of 100 francs seized by the banker’s rake and had risen from the roulette table where he had Just lost the last of his little fortune. His head whirling, his legs unsteady, he went and threw himself down on the wide leather seat which ran all around the gambling table. For some minutes he looked vaguely round the secret gambling hell, listened to the ring of the gold on the cloth, remembered that he was ruined, lost; recollected that in a chest ot drawers at homo he bad the regimental pistols which bis father, General de Hera, at that time a simple Captain, bad so well used in the attack ot Zaatcha; then overwhelmed by Whig tie he fell late a profound sltop. On awakening he found his mouth clammy and sticky. A glance at the clock told him tnait he had slept scarcely-half an hour, and he had felt an imperious need of the night air. Rising, Lucien remembered that it I was Christmas eve, and by an ironical play of memory he suddenly saw himself as he was when a little child, putting his shoes in the chimney be-i fore going to Just then old Dronskl —a constant ’ frequenter of the gambling hell, a typical Pole, wearing a threadbare hooded cloak — approached Lucien, mumbling a few words in his dirty little gray beard. Lend me a 5-franc piece, sir. During two days I havn’t budged from the club and during the two days the ‘l7’ hasn’t won once. You can laugh at me if you like, but I’ll give my I hand to be cut off if presently, when i the clock strikes 12, that number doesn’t win.’’ Lucien de Hem shrugged his shoul- ' ders; he had not in his pocket even ■ enough to pay his tax, which the i habitues of -the place called “the I Pole’s 5 francs.” He passed into the ' ante-room, put on his hat and fur i coat and went down the staircase with the agility common to people in ! a fever of excitement. The ruined gambler shivered under ‘ his furs and began to walk. He i mused more than ever on the box of i j pistols which awaited him in hischest i ’ of drawers; but, after having walked ' a few steps, he stopped abruptly be- j fore a heart-rendjng spectacle. On a stone bench, placed according to custom, near the magnificent door of a mansion, a little girl of 6 or 7 I years, scantily covered with a tat-; tered black dress, was seated in the ' ’ snow. She had fallen asleep there, | notwithstanding the cruel cold, in a dreadful posture of fatigue and dis-. couragement. One of the child’s shoes had fallen from her foot, which hung down before her in a painful position. Urged by an Instinctive pity, he appioached the little girl, and was, ! ' perhaps, about to carry her away in ! his arms and give her shelter for the i night when, in the old shoe which ’ bad tumbled on to the snow, he saw something brilliant. He leaned down. It was a golden louis. Some charitable person, a woman, no doubt, had passed by, had seen, I , this Christmas night, the shoe before the sleeping child, and remembering , the touching legend, had placed there, I with a discreet hand, this magniti-| cent alms, so that the abandoned' child might still believe in the gifts' i made by the infant Jesus and might i retain, spite of her misfobtune, some I confidence and some hope in the jus-! tlce of Providence. Lucian was on the point of arous-; ing her so that she might learn of her good fortune, when he heard near i his ear, as in an hallucination, the i i .yoice of the Pole mumbling softly, with his thick drawling accent, the words: "During two days Ihaven’t budged from the club and during two days the "17” hasn’t won once. I’ll give my band tb be cut off if, presently, when the clock strikes twelve that number doesn’t win." Then this young man of 23, who descended from a race of honest men, who bore a superb military name and who had never failetj in honor, conceived a frightful Idea; he was seized by a mad, hysterical, monstrous desire. With a glance he assured himself that be was quite alone in the deserted street, and bending his knee, | cautiously advancing his quivering i hand, he stoic the golden louis from the fallen shoe! Then running with all bis might he returned tb the gambling house, scrambled up the staircase in a few strides; pushed open with a blow of his hand thepadded door of the accursed saloon; entered it precisely at the moment when the clock struck the first stroke ot midnight, placed the piece of gold on the green cloth and cried: "Righton the ‘seventeen!’” The number seventeen won. With the back of his hand Lucien pushed the 3 louis onto the rouge. The rouge won. He left the 72 louis on the same color. Rouge won again. He doubled in the same way again —once twice, thrice, each time with the same success. 'He had now before him apileof gold and banknotes, and began to cover the tabid In a frenzied manner. The twelve, the 1 column, the number, every combination His luck was extraordinary, supernatural. He was becoming wealthy again. In his eagerness to begin play he had not taken off his

heavy fur coat; already its pockets were bulging out with bundles of banknotes and rolls of gold pieces; and, no longer knowing where to deposit bis winnings, he was now stuffing with papers tbe inner and outer pockets of bls frock coat, the pockets of his waistcoat and trousers, his cigar-case, hh pocket handkerchief—everything he had which would hold money. And he still played, still won. Only ho felt something like a hot iron at his throat find he could onl; think of the little beggar girl asleep in the suow. "Certainly, she must bo there! Presently—yes, when the clock strikes 1 I swear it!—l will leave the place 1 will go and take her, asleep in nij arms, I will take her home; I will put her in my own bed—and I will bring her up: 1 will give her a dowry; 1 will love her as my own daughter and take care of her forever, forever." s But the clock struck 1, and the quarter, and the half-hour and the three-quarters and Lucien was still seated at the infernal tabla At last at one minute before 2 o'clock the bunker rose abruptly and said in a loud voice: "The bank is broken, gentlemen. Enough for to-day. ’’ With a bound, Lucien was on his feet. Rudely pushing aside the gamblers who surrounded him and regarded him with envious admiration, he quitted the room hastily; ran down stairs and reached the stone bench. , “God be praised,” he cried. "She is still there." He approached her, seized her hand. 4 *Oh, how cold she is! Poor little thing!” He raised her to carry her away. The child's head fell back but she did not awaken. "How soundly one sleeps at her aca” He held her against his brest to warm her, and, tilled with a sudden inquietude, was about to kiss her eyes so as to awaken her from her heavy slumber. Then he perceived with terror that the child’seyes were half open, showing the pupils glassy, fixed, extinct. ; A horrible suspicion crossed his mind. ' He placed his mouth close to that of the child; no breath came from it While with the Louis he had stolen from this little beggar girl Lucien had been winning a fortune at play the child had died; died of cold. Seized at the throat by a most horrible pang, Lucien endeavored to utter a cry, and in the effort which he thus made, awoke fiom his nightmare ; to find himself on the seat in the club ; where he had fallen asleep a little befoie midnight and where the waiter i of the gambling-hell, going away the I last at about 5-o’clock in the morni ing, pitying tthe ruined gamester, had . left him sleeping undisturbed. 1 Lucien went out, pawned his watch, took a bath, breakfasted, and went ■ to a recruiting office, where he signed | a voluntary engagement in the First I Regiment de Chasseurs d’ Afrique. To-day Lucien de Hem is a Lieu- ‘ tenant. He has only his pay to live • upon, but he manages upon that, being an officer of very -regular habits : and never touching a card. It even : appears that he finds it possible to economize something, for the other ' day at Algiers one ot his brother offi- ' oers, who was following him at the distance of a few paces in a moutain- | ous street of the Kasba,saw him give ! alms to a little Spanish girl asleep ia ’ a doorway. I He bad the impertinence to look at what Lucien had given to the poor j beggar. Lucien-de Hem had placed a golden louis 1n the child’s nand.—Krom tlu French. . Air Your Clothing. Everyday garments, particularly ■ those that are not laundered, should :be disinfected. Brushing is not sufi fleient, as it does not remove the uni pleasant odors that come from long i usage. Some women sprinkle then waists and dresses with scent and use . sachet powers to perfume their bonI nets and wraps. All this would be admirable were it availing. Scent needs to be overpowering to conceal the unfragrant emanations from an ■ old garment. Then the bouquet is ; fulsome and vulgar. | Better than scent bags or potpourri i are a clothes pole and an open win- : dow. Turn the garments wrong side ! out and let the air and sunshine disi infect and deodorize them. All night I airing is good, but a day of blowing I winds and purifying sunlight is bet- : ter. When a bonnet lining or a set i of dress shields becomes perceptible, ■it should be removed. Cloth garments can be sponged and pressed clean. A pint of benzine costs tiv© cents and will clean anything in the way of kid, silk, lace, pr worsted. i Camphor is another common disinfectant and not half appreciated. If, after bru-hing the only coat or gown, it lssprinkle<| with spirits of camphor and aired a few hours it will be tidy and grateful. i Garments and belongings that smell ot nothing art the cleanest and ; most agreeabla There is always a suspicion of bad health, bad sanitation, or bad habits, where there if much perfuming. If a scent is desired to neutralize what is known as • shop smells, emanating from the ' laundry, factory, packing-room, etc., ! orris, muscadine, bergamot, or a bit of sandalwood is preferable to the sickly sweetness of manufactured perfumes. Deodorized alcohol with a teaspoonful ot scent to a pint, used as a spray, will leave the clothing redolent of neatness. And for the skin there is nothing more aromatic and agreeable than a handful of lavander water. Just, the Word. ° The competition between rapidly growing Western cities leads to a good many amusing conversations “You have a fine town,’’ remarked an Eastern man" to a resident of Mineville, "a very tine town; but I suppose Gulch City goes a little ahead of you, eh?’’ “I reckon not," replied the Mineville man, with great decision of tone. ,4 Why, in live years’ time we shall have left Gulch City ’way out of sight” “Alii” said the Easterner; "and yet Gulch City seems to be a very flourishing place." "That's just it,” responded the Mineville citizen; “It's all flourish."’

SUNDAY CLOSING OF THE FAIR. The Action o’ the Directory Wa» Practically (Jnanlmnue. The World’s Fair will be closed Sundays during the remainder of the Fair period. Such is the decision of the Board of Directors, declared by the emphatic vote of 24 to 4. When it became apparent by actual admissions that the general public did not care fcr Sunday opening, that it, required the attendance of over 16,0 X) employe’s to wait upon the pleasure of about 40,000 visitors, the question was considered purely from a business point of view and it was decided that “the Interests of the public are, not promoted by keeping the Exposition open on each and every day of the week,” and that the gates should be closed. The solo reason for closing the Fair Sundays is a financial one, as Director Hutchinson stated. The directors , found that the people did not want it open and would not attend Sundays, and so they closed. The closing resolution tells the whole story and sweeps with it the promise to repay the United States the amounts received from the souvenir coin appropriation. The resolution reads as follows: Whereas, The Board of Directors heretofore, to wit. on May 16,1’lTJ, adopted certain resolutions proytdin<for the opening of the Exposition on Sundays in response to urgent appeals from persons and Organizations representing a large majority of the public as weU as stockholders of this corporation, and also In accordance with a resolution adopted by the City Council of the city of Chicago, representing the financial Interests of said city In said Exposition to the amount of M.iio.ooo; and. Whereas, Said action of the Board has been sustained by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and the right and power of the Board of Directors to control the physical administration of the Exposition Bunday as well as other days of tbe week has been upheld by the final decree of said court; and. Whereas, It now appears from the actual admissions that the general public do not manifest a desire tbat said Exposition should be kept open to the public each dav of the week, and it further appearing tha if the Exposition is kept open Sunday it will require the attendance of more than Ifi.Wo laboring men and women, the employes of the Exposition, and others, including the curators and clerks ot the exhibitors, and while the Exposition authorities can give its own employes one day of rest each week it seems impracticable for he exhibitors and others to provide such day of rest fortheir owncloiks and employee ; an , Whereas, It further appears tbat the number of laboring men and women whose services will be necessarily required to keep the Exposition open Sunday is disproportionate to the number of visitors on said days, and therefore the interests of the public are not promoted by keeping the Exposition open on each and every day of toe week; now, therefore, be ft Resolved, That all the said resolution sc adopted the 16th day of May, 18S3. and the amendments to the rule relative thereto adopted said day, save and except the prices of admissions, be and the same are hereby rescinded, to take effect afterthe 16th inst. ARMY BILL PASSED. The Measure Forced Through the Reichstag Amid Exciting Scenes. According to cable advices the army bill was forced through the German Reichstag, amid scenes unparalleled. The speeches were rancorous; the opposition bitter and unyielding: the ex- ' citement intense. The Emperor himself was in the parliament house and i was fuming with unbridled rage because his royal pleasure was not acceded to with more celerity. The Government had hoped that the final passage of the Emperor’s pet measure would be merely formal, and that the Reichstag would close in time to enable the swaggering war lord and his ministers to congratulate each other at their luncheon over their great triumph. Biit they were mis- ’ taken. The enemies of the bill fought to the very last and exhausted every means to harry the Emperor and his advisers. 1 The passage of the bill is an event of much importance. Aside from the i dramatic interest which attaches to i the Emperor’s victory, and the humili jating concessions made to the foreign . and church elements ih order to muster a majority, the now law has other aspects of interest. The demand for its 1 passage was based upon earnest and ’ seemingly sincere representations that 1 German security demanded it. Withi out this law, which gives more men for the army, it was claimed that Ger- , many would not remain first in her , military resources. It was broadly asserted that without it she would slip backward, outstripped in the race, and 1 become second in importance as a European power. If the Government view is correct Germany will now step to the front with renewed strength and greater re- ' sources. At the same time watchful rivals, guarding their own interests, will measure the new strength of the German army and take measures to , outdo it. Thus the race will continue as it has been going on until, financially exhausted, overtaxed, burdened with military service, tlte people will become impatient inaugurate ' —perhaps in blood—a new order of things. Or, perhaps, the dream of peaceable disarmament of the great i powers may bo realized. louux Maplists Cheer. The convention of Baptist Young 1 People, in session at Indianapolis, went wild when the announcement was made ! that the World’s Fair gates were to be closed on Sunday. They were engaged in prayer meeting at the time, and shouted and cheered until they were hoarse. The morning session was entirely occupied with the discussion of 1 missionary topics, and the afternoon was devoted to a symposium upon the lesser federation of the union. At 4 o’clock thirty State and provincial ral- > lies were held in various parts of the city, whore matters ]>ertaining to tho State federations Were discussed.

Experiments In Telepathy. Experiments in “telepathy”, are in favor for evening entertainments. A simple one that is intensely interesting, may include a number of persons, consists in blindfolding one of them and forming a circle in which all stand with hands joined. A card is selected from a pack and -placed where it may plainly be seen by all but the person blindfolded. He is expected to maintain a perfectly passive state, while the attention" of the others is fixed exclusively on the card. After a time the image of the object on the card is “suggested to the mind” and named. In one instance where this experiment was tried the ten of diamonds was on the card selected, and the blindfolded person, being ignorant of the object decided upon, described ten real diamonds that he saw arranged as they would be upon the card. In blindfolding the light may be entirely shut out from the eyes by" folding kid gloves into pads to lay over them, and then binding with a handkerchief. — New York Evening Post. Confined Sound. The intensity of confined sound is finely illustrated at Causbrook Castle, Isle of Wight, where there is a well 200 feet deep and twelve feet in diameter, walled or lined with smooth masonry. Although this is an unusual depth for a well, even in the British Isles, yet when a pin is dropped into it the sound of it striking the surface of the water 182 feet below can be distinctly heard. In the cast-iron water pipe of Paris, which forms a continuous tube with only two slight crooks, and those near its middle, the lowest whisper at one end may be distinctly heard at the other, although the pipe is 3,120 feet in length. When some experiments in this line were being conducted, a pistol fired at one end of the tube actually blew out a lighted candle held at the other end and violently ejected the shavingq, feathers, paper, etc., which had been placed in the end of the pipe by the experimenters. , Collections. The Prince of Wales has been renowned on the Continent for his collection of pipes. Perhaps he may have such a museum, and we must, in the meanwhile, trust the word of the Parisian journalist for it; he is always remarkably well-informed. What is more certain is that the Czar is a collector of postage stamps and eggs of birds of prey: and the German Emperor, King of Romania, and the King of Sweden have a mania for autographs; and the Queen of Italy collects gloves and shoes that have belonged to sovereigns; she has lately had a shoe presented to her that was worn by the Czarina Catherine, and the most ancient shoe in the Queen’s museum dates 400 years back. The Music Stopped. Among a number of young men who were recently visiting the city was one who has a lively sense of humor and an impediment in his speech. A german was given in their honor, and the hostess observed that this particular young man did not dance. “I am surprised not to see|you dancing,” she said “Don’t youcareforit?” "Oh, y-yes,” he replied. “Then why haven’t you gotten a partner and joined in the amusement.”. “W-w-well,” he explained, “it’s th-this way. I h-h-have tried s-several t-t-times. . B-b-but b-by the t-time I have s-sueeeeded in t-telling a g-g-girl wh-what I w-want th-the music's e-s-topped.”—Washington Star. Driving Drugs Through the Skin. One of the new features of electric medication is the introduction of drugs into the human body through tne skin. This is done by placing solutions of any drug upon a sponge, which is made the positive pole and placed against the skin. When the current is turned on the drug is actually driven through the skin into the tissues. The application is not at all painful. Thus cocaine has been driven in over a painful nerve, and neuralgia has been relieved by it. —New York Sun.

The Swiss people are very artistic in their tastes, and even the poorest Swiss is neat and tasteful in his home life.

Curfew In New England. In some of the New England towns and villages it is still customary to ring a church or factory bell at 9 o'clock at night and no further back than war times it was a general practice in the cities of over 20,000 people. This custom perpetuates the curfew (couvre feu, cover fire) of William the Conqueror’s time, when church bells were rung to notify the people that it was time to bank the fires and put out lights.
