England drinks coarsely and to excess England is just about one third drunk most of the time, and about one-third of England is drunk all the time. I write thus in exaggeration to indicate jest bow abandoned to drink England is, jnst as David said he "wept rivers of tears" to Rive expression to how very badly he felt. One can put up with the drinking habit of France and Germany, but decency Is so outraged that one 1 an only look upon the customs of England with little less tüan d;gc.t. In the former countries there are no classes wholly given over to drink and its brutalities; no class tbst spend all they can earn, or beg, or steal, on drink. Bat there are juet auch classes in every great town of Great Britain. London, Liverpool aad Glasgow are the chief t antrei of this wretched life. The public-house and gin palaces are the bane of the working c!a te of Knelard. They are, by their very arrangement, brutalizing In their tendency and effect. These are limply guzling pla:es, and this Is all they are meant to be. There is no light thrown upon the picture. Not one breath of romance or poetry, not one sign of sociability or conviviality is to be found In theie hideous plac es. You stand up at a bar in usually clcse, t ramped, dingy little rooms and pour down your rum, gin, brandy, whisky or beer, and pay your four to six cents for it.

The term "rass widow" is simply a barharlrni. or fungus, which has attached Itself to tbe English language.

Mrs E G. .Stuart in a lecture oa the "Healing Power of Thought," gives the following truth in which temperance people will be interested, ß, eftking of the immense power for either good tr evil that mental pictures or images in the mind, exert over mankind, she eys: "The man who stands upon the platform and depicts the drunkard reaching home to his starving family, and to strike down these nearest and dearest, deltnea'es a t Ic ore cf hor- w' lisnst for every mind in that e- Jt ;.-r the moment only, . be csrried awa to their happy L ti.

She prays to God, but while the words express her sincere desires, she betrays her fears and doubts of His power to overcome the Damon. What is to be done? Let us each and every one talk, picture, and think upon temperance, icsteed of intemperance. When a temperance lecture is announced, let us have that subject, cot Intemperance. Let the experiment be tried of portiayiDgand desoribing temperance, for as many years and as much money as has been expended in intemperance, and compare the results." Another truth for the consideration of parents is this: "Did you ever make your child calm and self-possessed by continually telling him how awkward his bashtulness made him? Did ridicule cure him? Or could you help him by takiDg every occasion to reoeat to callers in his presence, 40h he is so diffident, I don't know what we shall do with him.' " What She Wrote In aa Album.

To Distinguish a Perfect Wjmaa. 1 Toledo Blade j It was a very old .Spanish writer who said that "a woman Is lite perfect and absolute in bauty if she hs thirty good points." Here they are: Tfcree things white the ikin, the teeth, tbe Land Thrte black tLe eyes, the eyebrows, the eye lashes. "ihree red the lips, the cheeks, the nails.

"Hcopskirts are certainly getting more popular every year," said a rnaoufactarer to a reporter rcently, "and in th- course of a years I firmly believe that we shall have the crinoline popular again." "What do yoa attribute their increased Popularity to?" "For some time the Parisian ?tshion papers have been speakiag in high terms of their use, and the modists have adeoctted their use very largely. They are much preferable to the bustle. Manufacturers of the steel hoop haye now pel feet d that article, and it is now made as pliable as auhnc The new hoop is very different from the old crinoline. Twenty years ago they used to be made ninety to 100 inches in circumferer ce, and we used to lanch at any as small ss ninety inches; now they are made fiftyfour and fifty-six inches in circumference. I x pect in tbe course of a year or so to have them very popular. A lady who wears a htoptkirt of, say, sixty-four inches in circumference, can make a much better display of her dress' than without it.

Dilry farmers may turn his remarks to profct. The marble trade of San Francifco is worth Sl.tCO.OCO annually, one tourtho-" whichsum has heretofore beeu paid to the Carra quarry, of Italy. With the Dew San Francisco company operating in the Ataka qoarrlea the city hopes to p irchae hrAfier its eitire supply from its own cit;z-ns, and at the fame time get a marble of equal beauty as heretofore. All ruminant hoofed beasts have horns and cloven feet. If the hoofs are even the boms are even, if odd, as in the rhlnoceroas, the boms are odd, that is single or two placed one behind the other. Recent creatures with feathers always have beaks. Pigecna with ahort beaks nave small feet. Tne long limbs of the Loaud are associated with a longhead. The flexibility . f itaclumlte a remarkable tandstone existing in3eorgia an i orth and 8iuth Carolina seems to be sarpass! by that of a mavcesian limestone found at the entrance ot the Tyne in Eoidand. This limestone is reported to be eo flexible that thin layers, three feet or mo's in length, may be bent into a circle while damp, retaining tbat form on dryiog Professor Milne supposes earth tremors to be "slight vibratory motions produced in tbe soil by the bending and crackling of rocks, caused by their rue upon the relief of atn.oepheric pressure." Another investigator thinks that they may be the result of aa increased escape of vapor from molten material beneath the crust of the earth confeqnent upon a relief of external pressure. In other words, these premonitory symptoms are developed when the barometer is low. For testing go'd make up a. liquid contistir g of nitiic acid, one ounce; water. to ounces ; and muriatic acic, one-half scruple. Miz the ingredients wed nud keep the solut en in a bottle with a g!a3 stopper. With a 'Ufcfi rod which has dipped in the m;xinic touch tbe metal and watch the acttoo. If no effect is produced on the tLOtal it is ithtr gold or gold-plated. If the gold" is ery low or Joes than ulte karat the acid wll (oil preen, and luse metal ii at once de cUd by the mark left by the acid. To lest Mlver apply a drop of a solution of nitric j c d, three ounces; water, on ounce, aad t ichromate of potash, one half oance. and v ire off the drop immediately with a sponge erd waitr. If a blood-red mark results the letal is silver or the article is tiiver-plated. The simplest method of taking nourishment by anirrals is by absorption through the sain. The tapeworm, for example, has neither mouth ncr ttomacb, h it imbibfs the lisefct'd feed of the animal it infests. Many other animals, ejptclailv iusects. live uoon l-qtiid food, but obtain it by suction, through a special orifice and tube. Tuas we find a mouth orsncker, furnished wita teeth or Jancing the kin cf animate, as in the letch; a bristle like tube fitted for piercing, as in the niuiqnit'j; a eharp eucker armed with batbs, to fix it securely during tbe act of becking, as in the louse, and a lmg llexible pre boecis. as in the battel flv. Bees have a hairy cbanre!ed tongue, and fl'cs have oae terminating in a large, fleshy knob, with or without little knives at the ta-e for catting the skin; both lap rather than suck their fojd.

POLITICAL MNAUEB N THE r.KCKNT CAMi'AP N, AKP PCLtEVFO TO PF 8CRK OK A POSITION IN THE KEXT CABINET. IK HE CAÜKI TOY. IT In iakicg up tfceir -'tste" tor the Cabins', but few roliticai prnphe'enmit the name of Daniel Manuiup. A cpsirmau of the New York Democratic estate Committee between three and four years be has been largely intlueatial In fldr.rcine' tbe frrtunes cf 1'iesident elect Clevtland. His work and counsel b"ve given hin a national reputation as u political manager. The State Samuel J. Tilden treats Mr. Manning as an Intimate friend and undoubtedly makes him tbe recipient of bis experienced aud sage counsels, and the intimacy of Presidentelect Cleveland with him is well-known. Nor can there be any question as to Mr. M auning's ability and litneisfora Cabinet position. He is mentioned prominently for the Treasury and as Postmaster General. Daniel Manning is in the prime of llf. about forty teven years cf i?e. He .u tern of parents in a very humbie conditioo of life. Atau early ege he entered the printr g office oT tte Albany Argus, and in due timeiwc from the drudtry m sweeping fleers end running e-rands to be ft compositor In the effu-e cf thet influential jiarual. At that time William Cr.idv was lis editor, a n an of reat ability, who made the paper. Always on the lookout for young men of energy to ssii&t Lim in the conduct of bis purual, Cr s idy took particular rjotice of Manning, who was a hero and terror t o soaie of the leadii rougbs in Albany. Mo'eover. he was bright as well as coaregous and energetic, and when he was about twenty, Canidy gave him ft Position as reporter oa the staff of the) Argns As such bis first assignments wtre in the chamber of tbe New Ycrk Assembly. Manning soon bcas kr own to tbe leaders in the Ho ise, and it wss not Ictiit before he evidenced ability n rcatipulatii g the vote of Lis connty. He rose n bctineee step by step, and is now i'rtiident of tbe Argns Company. Albsuy, and the "insolier" ot tbe Argus' utterance. ManniLg possesses considerable wealth, dreefs Landfome'y and lives tn good stvie. He lat ly married the iccond time. By his first wife tie has one eon and one daachter. He ban raver held an e'ective cilice, and is seppof ed to have do aspirations In that wav. In peteonal appearance Maniiintr ia tall, larpe and bardecme IDs forehead Is lofts ; his e) es :ue xctedinaly fall and brigbt He is dignified and courteous, ecru puloaty well cire-eed and well kept. While he lucres successfully in public, his etreng'h is le e ns an orator than in counsel as a political naisper. An iedication cf his cnarao ter is to be found in hi casting tbe vote of New York as a nnll rturtnn the proceedings -of the late Democratic National Convention at Chirsgn. tbe purcoe of the amendment upon which the vote was hinc taken being the subttitution of individual for collective votkg. Protests could not abate his purpose, which he carried nut, end the result was the nomination of the gentleman whn is now pjetldent elect of the United S ats. WANT KU.
