It is an old saying and of high authority that " A prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” As to prophets, this may be without exception; as applied to lecturers, the large audience, their close attention and evident approbation most conclusively shows that the Rev. T F Freeh and bis finely finished lecture ‘•Tramps. Cranks and Dudes.” are not only honored ..but heartily endorsed by his fellow townsmen. The subject is too long for reviews! but we briefly say that the three classes of the genus homo, were ac ctirately and graphically portrayed, and in away that is not only extremely entertaining, but must also be productive of much good to the-young. The tramp and the ei.uik may each have their place in the universe. But the — ditdel—- —— : ~_ Nature abhors a Vacurnn. therefore is he abhorred and there is no place for him.

They gave away 1,000 bottles of their Digestive Cordial to those sufJering from stomach derangements. It was so efl't eti-ve,in curing those who used the remedy that they were loud in their praises of it and in consequence a large tle- , maud for the cordial vias at once; created. The druggists of this city have little books that tell all about it.

Many of us feel under such circumstances that all our plans of work should -be sacrificed to receive the visitor, and we accordingly abandod what domestic projects we have in mind, turn ofirselves and our households into confusion, and for days and. unhappily, sometimes, weeks, we devote ourselves to the en - tertaining of our guests under the feeling that we are at least shewing proper hospitality..however grudgingly in our hearts we may do it. It would surely be much fairer toward one’s friends and more just to one’s own household to say frankly to ♦ such visitors that it is nqt convenient to receive them Any reasonable person would appreciate such honesty. But even if it "Should net Im "quite understood, or liked, it is much less ;ipt to have unpleasant results than an enforced hospitality which, however well meant., is almost sure sooner or lalei*. te be felt, and would certainly cause a discomfort than a kind refusal in the beginning;—From “Modern Hospitality,” in Demorest’g Magazine for March.

NEW PHASES APPEAR Cuban Debate Aroused Senators and Spectators Alike, ' CROWDS FILLED THE GALLERIES.

Washington, March 11.—The crowds which filled the senate galleries yes,terday io anticipation of an exciting Cuban debate were not disappointed. Two now phases on the subject made their appearance and each afforded a debate which aroused senators and spectators to a high stage of interest and excitement. Mr. Lodge (Rep., Mass.) arose to a question of personal..privilege and in vigorous words rebuked the Spanish minister, Seiior Dupuy de Lome, for his recent criticisms of senators. Senator Teller added his opinion that a repetition of the minister's action should bi followed by. his dismissal. Senators Gray and Hale maintained that s n;ttoi'ial privilege and prerogative should not be strained to close the mouth of the Spanish minister. Mr. Lodge did not press for any dclinite action. The incident was hardly closed when tho subject came up in another form. Mr. Hoar had asked that his resolution postponing the entire Cubati subject until April ti go over until today. This aroused Mr. Sherman to an energetic and feeling ] most. He declared that Mr. Horn’s r 'ilutem was a reflection on the con . rte ■ on foreign relations and was an < .0 to shelve the Cuban resolution aft r w ‘ks of discussion and overwhelming v.ites in both houses. The two venerable senators. Sherman and Hoar, engaged in a vigorous colloquy. Mr. Morgan and other senators were drawn into the personal conflict and for half an hour it raged, sometimes with deep earnestt’es. . bu, more often with amusement, caused by the energy of the white haired participants. Mr. Sherman finally withdrew his objection aird Mr. Hoar s resolution went over until today, but not before Mr. Hoar had made a brief but telling speech against what he termed meddling policy of congress in foreign questions. The Dupont question was then taken up and Mr. Turpie resumed his speech I against the claims of Mr. Dupont to a i seat in the senate. Mr. Tnrpie hail not concluded when the somite, went into .executive session and six >ll after adjourned. BOISE I’KOCEEDINtIS. Postoftii'e Appropriations Not Completed.

DR. SHRADY.- ON VENTILATION. Some Venerable Theorieii on ThU Sufcjeet ' That Have Been Exploded. Tho effect of expired air upon animal life is the subject of an interesting artiole in | The Medical Record by Dr. George^ F. Shrady. ita editor. ‘‘Wo need not," says Dr. Shrady, "einphasizp the evil eftcctHof what is usually called bad ventilation. It is perhaps true that acute diseases are not to be traced te tho same, but it may be «afo]y stated that there is a distinct deterioration of vital forces in those who are constantly subjected co the impure atmosphere of badly ventilated' rooms. Tho cause of the sickening sensation which comes . over us upon enterinfcan atmosphere contaminated with many breaths or of the' gradual deterioration of the vital forces which follows confinement in such an atmosphere is not knoAvii. For a number of years prior to 18-88 the view ' prevailed that the discomfort and dan-'I ger to health and life in badly ventilated rooms were largely due to organic matteis couiained in the air ’expired, and that the increase in carbonic acid due to re.-pi- .ffion has byr little effect in producing the bad re.-v.lt-, Recently, ! however, several experiment' rs have | concluded that rhe nrgu.i. ■ matters in tho exhaled breath are m.t harmful, at least to animals. ” Referring to recent exv-rihmuts on , the subject. Dr. Shrady • i' -: ‘‘ihe re- ; suits justify the eouclus. .. that th? di--comfort felt in crowd' rl, jli venfilated. room.- is not due to_.exe' <-ive carbonic acid or to baVteria or m most. . 'uses toftlusts of atty kind, bur is hi reality due to exeqyjwe temperature .ami unpleasant odors. Nothing m tiie>e experiments shows the i-.ia-i of the .unpleasant, musty odor of an tlnventilared room, and attention is called to the curious fact that cases of fainting in crowded rooms usually occur in women and are connected, the authors think, with defective respiratory action due. to tight lacing. Finally these investigations, the authors declare, go to prove that some of the theories upon which modern systems "f ventilation are based are.eith<-r without foundation or doubtful, and that the problem of” securing comfort; and health in itiliabited rooms require.- the equsideration of the best methods of preventing < r disposing of dust of various kinds, of regulating temperature and moisture and" of carrying off p. i.- -liious gases derived from heating amt lighting apparatus rather than .utjamply _diluuugjJifLuil DL.a cer- . faitr standard of proportion of carbonic acid present," • The “Arabian Nights” Once More.

i HARDY. NOVELIST. P ‘ ' ■ '9 SHORT SKETCH OF A SUCCESSFUL MAN 1 OF LITERATURE. How He Abandoned Architecture For Story Writing—The Greenwood Incident Shown That There la Sometimes Something la a Name. Much has been said and written about Thomas Hardy’s work, but very little indeed is generally known of the man himself. An obvious reason is the novelist’s dislike of personalities, hisshrink- 'J . ing from public curiosity, and the simple, serene—almost mediaeval —tone of nature that dominates him. As a young man ho proposed to fol- , low architecture'as a profession and studied with diligt nee. He went into ! the office if the v ell known architect, i Sir Arthur B]cmti< Id, A. R. A., in - London. While equipping himself for his future career, he used his spare moments in writing a novel that be call'd l ‘‘Desperate Remedies.” This book, aftI er several refusals, at last found a pub- ! lisher, but it did Hiirdy no more good i than barm. Meantime, following his architectural work, he carried out his ' first conmiissiot.—naturally a modest j/mc.'-'iirs y, ting architects are not usually I intrusted with cathedrals. Although his 'maiden effort in letters itad met with ' comparative failure, his zeal was tnabated, for h ’.turnedlately wrote "Under the Greenwood Tree.” At the time this book appeared Frederick Gri ct.wocd. now.the distinguished student of European policies, edited ' The ('ornhili Alagazine. It is a habit ! with Mr. Greenwood occasionally to ‘‘prowl’.’ about old bookstalls, Looking I over a basketful of cheap books all thrown together, he clfanccd to light upon ‘‘Under the Gieenwocd Tree." 1 For the sake of its name, he picked it ; tin, paying a saw pence for it. The abla Luitir saw at a glance that there was : r <inus in that neglected and discarded ■ \vi.; k. and, finding out Hardy, then it I hi.- . Jirty-first year, he commissioned I him towrite a novel f-r The Cornhili. ‘ Ir we- then that Hardy, forced by ciri cumstimi'es as well as impelled by his : love for letters, abandoned architecture, ‘ and. throwing himself into his work with perfect singleness of purpose, wrote ‘“•'Far From the Mudding Crowd,” a book that now stands with a few others among the .lasting literature achievements i f this century. Though be is neithi r Tisfless' nor lahguid, Hardy's appearance is-that of a man who has lately recovered from an illness. His cheeks are slightly sunken and his skin is sallow, speaking of sedentary labor.-, the midnight lamp and of a constitution that eouicl not support the sustained strain of an arduous task. Y T et his eyes tell another tale and pos- | sess that phoS] horeset nt light that indiI eates i'he soluiimi i-f these contradictory marks must /be tin.t he is mentally as robust as lib is physically delicate, or it may be that the mind has sometimes to struggle against " the drooping of the body. J Hardy is neither tall nor commanding iu stature. His manner is free from nervousness, showiness or excessive * -i-nroyemem : iimeeit. a tranquil, thought- _ i- ful spirit is. cbarecrerisßc of him. and there is nothing iri'T: ;•- presence that is strong enough to Timnat•• ibiff"quality of his mind. The r ' -' that cap be said is that Ins face i.? rxei ' ffing’y keen and clever. His Im nzed hair, now tinged with gray and .Inti-m d back, is becoming thin. His sieiTdr-r mustache adds point finely modeled .features. Although spare in type, h s shoulders are i broad and give 'him the appearance of > being larger than.he is when he is seetj, • sitting down. . As is the case with many English ' writers. Hardy lives in the country and goes fu-Loudon once ev ty year for aj ! few weeks tit brush away the cobwebs a .. I .by contact with men who keep the r.usc , from their steel ami the te-'in’sh from their silver; Hardy’s quiet hmne is not I far av;;y from the iae;;y little town of Dorchester, in Dcrsetshire, his native I county. This home is entirely the work of his own ham’s. Every room. wifidow_ajjd ItiFl; every alcove, cupb< aid and doorv ay is designed to suit his own and his wife's fancy. 'Die house stands on a small piece of land and is surrounded by a few acres of garden' and'lawn. The manner, in which the land came into hiaepossessitm is interesting. The particular piece of ground he wanted was-partiof. a large tract belonging to, a land company of which the ! Prince of Wales was president. Though ' the prince did not know Hardy pe.rson- ■ ally. h' : greatly admired his work. On J-oae-mecasioii the <i - rs of the land " companv met', tlte. prince presiding, and - when the -report was reiid.Mr. Hardy’s applieare n for a few'acres of the company s land was alluded to. but merely incidentally, with the remark that it would, ot covffse, have to be 'declined. The prince said: "What Hardy is it? Not file amb-'f?" ‘‘Yes ; Thomas Hardy, "was the reply. "Then why not ~ let hint have (he few acres?y.said the prince. "He would not have asked had he-get set h:s heart on the spot. Yes; . let him have them." — Cor. Boston Transcript. _ J Mari Overboard.
