Ancient Nobility.

Whenever there is any special interest in the House of Lords, articles appear in the papers in regard to the composition of this body, and mnch stress is always laid upon the extremely modern origin of the existing peerages, and it is stated that the ancient nobility are “a mere handful." It has been said that the number who can date their nobility back to the days of the later Tudors does not exceed a score. These statements are not true, and the error has probably arisen from ignoring the fact that many ancient baronies and earldoms are merged in recently created titles of a higher grade. For example, when the earldom of De La Warr was conferred upon the family of West, in 1761, three ancient baronies were merged, one of which had been enjoyed by the family in an unbroken male line since 1342, in the reign of Edward TTT, At the present time the House of Lords consists of 26 spiritual and 483 temporal peers, including 6 princes, 16 Scotch representative peers chosen for each Parliament, and 28 Irish representative peers elected for life. There are also 7 peeresses, 9 minors, and 91 Scotch and Irish peers who have no seat in the House. The total nobility of the United Kingdom numbers 580, of whem 39 strictly English peers are in possession of titles enjoyed by their ancestors prior to the death of Queen Elizabeth, in 1603; 15 Irish peers and 35 Scotch peers can date their honors back to the same period, some of them very ancient. All of the Scotch peers, 84 in number, were created prior to the union with England in 1707. It may be stated here that with the exception of a few old baronies by writ, and a few special remainders, all of the English and Irish patents are to “him and the heirs male of his body,” while the Scotch remainders are much more comprehensive, and thus a Scotch title rarely becomes extinct. During the reigns of the four Stuart kings of England—l6o3-1688—66 of the existing English peerages were created, and 24 of the Irish. Several of these were conferred upon scions of royalty and of the ancient nobility. Of 389 peerages of Great Britain, Ireland and the United Kingdom conferred upon commoners since 1688, about a score have been given to scions of noble houses, a considerable number of “ancient gentlemen,” and the vast majority to successful politicians, soldiers, merchants, etc., at least 150 of whom are sprung from families that were comparatively obscure 150 years ago. Many of the founders of “noble houses” (?) in Ireland were rascally English adventurers, and the peerage of Ireland is not particularly reputable.—Boston Transcript.

Plants as Air Purifiers.

Dr. Anders has just concluded some valuable experiments with house plants. He inclosed a dozen potted flowering plants in an air-tight glass ca« 3, and placed them in the bay-window of a sit-ting-room facing the east. Ozone test papers were hung in the case before it was closed. Observations were made for four hours daily during eighteen . days, with results showing the presence of ozone in the air of the case. A second series of tests was made with odorous flowering plants—carnations, heliotropes, etc.—with stronger indications of ozone. A third series included “foliage plants”—ferns, dracaenas, etc.— with less positive results. Further experiments with plants in flower were made with the case in the out-door air. In these it was found that negative results came on rainy days, thus indicating that bright sunshine is needed to develop ozone. The experiment s showed that the floral organs are specially delegated to the important function of developing ozone. This peculiarly active form of oxygen is produced during the formation of the seed, in connection with the phosphorus compounds there accumulated. Flowers of various kinds have been known to exhibit phosphorescent light in warm evenings. Ozone is a most wholesome element in the atmosphere, keeping or tending to keep it from becoming polluted with disease germs. It oxidizes, or burns up, noxious accumulations. Plants in flower are therlfore to be placed in the front rank as hygienic agents. Ozone is of special value in living rooms, when the air, according to the best authorities, is usually foul. A bay-window, Ailed with flowering plants) will doubtless furnish ozone enough to have a decidedly healthful effect Upon the air of the room. It is gratifying to have further Eroof that the old-time prejudice against ouse-plants is ill-founded; instead of contaminating the air of the room and endangering the health of the inmates they render it purer.

The Birthplace of Liberty.

From Woburn I advanced on Lexington. It is a very pretty village, and externally contains but few evidences of poor folks. The historic green on which the battle was fought was a small triangular piece of ground, inclosed by a railing and shaded with elm and hickory trees. It contains a liberty pole, by which is a mounted iron cannon, and at a little distance is a plain granite shaft, erected in 1799 to the memory of the seven men of Lexington who fell there. I notice that one “John Brown” ilso died at Lexington. About the top or “lubber” of the liberty pole is a gilt inscription indicating this as “the birthplace of American liberty.” It was a warm Indian summer October afternoon when I sat on the green. The quiet reigning over the village was such that the crow of a rooster could be heard through the entire place. A gang of Italians engaged on some public work were rolling and lunching on the grass; children talking and laughing were on their way to school; young ladies tripped along with music-rolls in their hands; people went in and out of houses with marketbaskets; washing was going on; clothes were hung to dry in back yards; a grocer’s wagon rattled along the street; a sand cart followed. And this was Lexington, and apparently not a soul thinking of tlie skirmish between a company of American farmers and a battalion of English troops, which has been so often told in story, history, and song.—Cor. Sen Francisco Chronicle.

Dining-Rooms of the Ancients.

The most elaborate rooms as regards furniture were the dining-rooms. As a matter of course, they greatly varied in shape, but the arrangement of them was essentially the same. In many of the wealthiest houses there were different dining-rooms for different seasons of the year—warm rooms for winter; oooler, with a northern aspect, for summer. Lucullus, who was famous for his luxurious banquets, had diningrooms adapted to the rank of his guests and the costliness of the entertainments that he gave in them, and if he were but to indicate the room, in which he was to dine, everything was arranged accordingly. In the last days of the republic, when the Romans feasted hundreds of persons, the banquet was prepared in the peristyle of the house, or in immense halls built especially for the purpose, and adorned with rows of columns. Halls of this kind seemed almost indispensable in the palace of that time, but even here the tables were very numerous and independently arranged. The ordinary dining-room had but one table, and this was placed in the center, with a cushioned seat or couch running round on three sides, for the Greeks as well as the Romans never sat at meals, but ate in a reclining posture. The fourth side was always left open for the convenience of the servants who waited upon the table. Great stress was laid upon the costliness of these tables, both in material and artistic finish. They were lower than ours, to accommodate the recumbent guests, and their form was also influenced by the practice of reclining at meals. The ancients did not put their limbs under the tables as we do, the table-top not projecting as much as that of a modern dining-table. This rendered tlie feet and framework of antique tables a great deal more conspicuous, and could be much more richly ornamented. The feet and framework of tables were often carved in the shape of various kinds of figures. Sometimes the tops rested on the wings of two griffins placed back to back, on feet of lions, or other animals. Tables were often made, among the wealthier Romans, of precious metals, or of marble and bronze, or had legs of bronze, which supported a marble or wooden slab. Only nine persons could dine at one of these tables, for the ancients had a rule that the number of guests should not be greater than that of the Muses or less than the Graces. — Mrs. G. Hall , in the New York Graphic.

Debts and Standing Armies.

The following table of the debts and armies of the six leading governments of Europe is, to say the least, interesting and suggestive: Standing Army. National Debt. Peace Footing. France $5,365,000,000 498,483 Germany 1,076,000,000 445,274 Austro-Hungary... 2,095,000,000 268,204 Italy 2,025,000,000 733,712 Spain 2,760,000.000 138,742 RuS3ia. 3,410,000,000 884,319 Totals $16,620,030,000 2,223,022 The enormous French debt is due to the German war indemnity, which was $1,000,000,000, while the war itself cost $747,500,000. The Austrian debt is equal to 28 per cent, of the wealth of the empire, and taxation absorbs 15 per cent, of its entire income. Italy’s taxation is the most serious of any in the world. It amounts to 35 per cent, of the entire income of the kingdom, which is double the European average, and three times that of Great Britain. This is because a nation of 29,000,000 of poor people has to support a standing army of three-quarters of a million of soldiers. No wonder European nations, and especially Italy, have so large a population of very poor people. The condition of Italy is shown by the numbers of wretched Italians Who, when they reach our shores, are willing to work for the merest pittance.— Demorest’s Monthly. The matrimonial chances of a young lady in life have been determined partially by an old maid in Philadelphia. Having kept the record of 1,000 oi her acquaintances who have been led to the altar, she finds that the chances between the ages of 14 and 40 are as follows: There are 32 chances at the ages of 14 and 15; 104 chances at 16 and 17; 219 at 18 and 19; 230 at 20 and 21; 165 at 22 and 23; 62 at 24 and 25; 60 at 26 and 27; 45 at 28 and 29; 18 at 30 and 31; 11 at 32 and 33; 8 at 34 and 35; 4 at 36 and 37; and 2 at 38 and 39. It will therefore be seen that from 18 to 25 is the golden floodtide of matrimony, and that it is at these ages that the most chances are taken in the great lottery.

Thebe seems to be no limit to the follies and vagaries commited in the name of religion and by peculiar sects.* A corresponnent of the New York Evening Telegram visited some religious fanatics in the most northern capital of Eastern Siberia, Yakutsk, where he found a people that outdo the Shakers. They claim to avoid the use of meat, tobacco and liquors, and all the males are eunuchs. The writer saw “pitiable cases of the younger members of the sect who had been initiated into the brotherhood by their fanatical parents or relatives long before they could understand the meaning of the rites they were compelled to undergo.” These very peculiar people are called Skopts. —Dr .Footers Health Monthly. A rich man was approached on the street and asked to contribute to a charitable purpose. He declined on the plea of hard times. Just then a third party appeared. He was a newspaper reporter. “Are you meeting with much success?” he inquired of the collector. “I am doing splendidly,” was the reply; “just look at that list of names.” “May I make a copy for publication!” “Certainly.” “I guess you may put me down for, say, $50,” whispered the rich man. A new mothod of fastening 1 the strings of upright pianos has been Invented by the Mason & Hamlin urgan and Plano Company, which Is regarded as one of the most important Improvements ever made, making the Instrument more richly musical in its tones, as well as more durable, and less liable to get out of order.— Boston Journal. A woman’s influence is very great for good or evil. A kind word from a wife or a mother may stay a man from untold evil, and one sharp, bitter, thoughtless word may drive him to desperation.

Thus will be prevented the grievous, and sometimes disastrous, bodily disturbance pervading the whole system, when the offending organ is neglected or only half regulated. Don’t turn your stomach and bowels topsy-turvy with calomel, blue pill, salts and senna, and such like trash. If you persist in doing so, expect to suffer the consequence—chronic ill-health. No man or woman ever yet, with impunity, converted his gastric organ into a drug shop. The secretion of bile la promoted and oostiveness overcome by the Bitters without the pain and weakening effects of a drenching purgative. Its use is also fertile of decisive ana speedy benefit to persons troubled with malaria, rheumatism, kidney ailments and debility.

A Cat and a Sparrow.

A cat caught a sparrow, and, after breaking one of its wings, commenced playing witl* it preparatory to devouring it. But the bird sent its bill into the cat’s nose to such purpose as toxlemoralize the animal, aud he retreated. The two then became close friends. They ate, drank, and slept together; the bird rode aronnd the house on the cat’s back, and the latter would uot even touch its food until the Bparrow had satisfied its appetite. One morning the bird found the window open, and, feeling strong of wing, took unceremonious leave. The cat neither died nor lost its appetite, a circumstance which is regarded as most astonishing in view of the current sentimental anecdotes.

Low Prices for Butter.

The Now York Tribune, In its market report, explained why some butter is 6old for such low prices. In speaking of butter, it said: "Light-colored goods are very hard to dißpose of, and several lots wore thought well sold at Bto 10 cents.’’ If butter makers wop Id get the top price, they should use the Improved Butter Color, made by Wells, Klchardson & Co., Burlington, Vt. It gives a pure dandelion color, and never turns red or rancid, but tends to Improve and preserve the butter; A cereal story—the grain report. —Boston Post.

Storm Signals.

As the coming of a great storm is heralded by the display of caationary signals, so is the approach of that dread and fatal disease, Consumption of the Lungs, usually announoed in advance by pimples, blotches, eruptions, ulcers, glandular swellings, and kindred outward manifestations of the internal blood poison, which, if not promptly expelled from the system, attacks the delicate tissues of the lungs, causing them to uloerate and break down. Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery" is the great remedy lor this, as for all diseases having their origin In bid Mood.
