One of the mot interesting windows in Wa..iinzt m U just ''o-ite the Treasury, on Fifteenth' street. Ills filled with I'hotosraphs of prominent und titled KurojR'an, kinrs. Queens. erajerors, j.rinccs anilpriiHee., prominent niem1 't of the various (iovernuients of Kurore, men of literary rank ahroad. a royal collection, one such as seldom ecn anywhere in this country, (ia iat tlx- window any day and you will sec r-,IM'c f-tudyin? the faces nd tigiires dilayed there. It is seldom that you have an ojioitunity of seeing all rowned heads of Europe a they really look. fur all of the.e are jdiotosrrailis from lite. 'What do you do with them?" your corre-j-j-ondent asked of the proprietor of the establishment, a dealer in foreign boo is and iinjM'rted articles of this da. Jell them," was tlie reply; "there b a proat and constantly growing demand for them." Who bnys them, the foreign visitors to the city, such as the diplomat"'.'" ' Oli no," he smiled, "they have them w hen they come here. No. the eople who buy them are the wealthy citizens, especially tho-e who have traveled abroad. Society people buy a good many pictures of people w ho are prominent in the social world ;ilrtad. Members of (.'onirics buy the picyl EKN VIi'ToijIA. tures of tlie statesmen of Kurope, and so on around. The demand for this class of pictures is becoming prcater all the time, and the people of the two countries tire roniiui nearer together and becoming better acquainted." The collection is a very interesting one. The photoTaphs are made from life, and eem to bring you nearer than the ordinary Mikiravings of iiewspaM-r imrtraits. You seem m see the jK-ople a they really lire, tobe in the presence, of all the royalty sit once. ne thing that t-trikos the observer strongly is that they seem to be very mucli iike other people. They wear tlie same sort of clotnes in most cases at any vell-dresed .American g-nrlenian or lady does. They are jdiotographed in the same attitude, a fleet the same literary for iensive styles that you ree so of ten in the photographer's window, ttiid display t he am weakness in the troling detail. which add to their personal attraction!. For instance, the King of tSrc-ece occui.i'-s a striking position which tli-splays bis Jiavy mustache, ids high 'landing collar, and "the neatly tittirr', "tailormade"' suit t great advantage. The Jiu en of Jtouiiiania. ivho has some retitatiiri as a joetesx, occupies ati nrm-cliair with a de-k attachment on which lies an open book in winch she appears to bo just in the act of writing, probably n poem. The dress is extremely jdain, hiack. the entire air that of n literary person. Tin dross i jut .such .as you see every day 'f your life; "the "bangs" wlikli wnceni literary brow, .-liow sins of careful adjustment. Lord Kandolj-h Churchill iort a carefully trained iicavv inutiicbe. bair carefully partel in the middle, n general dai'per air, and the corner of a very win tc liar dkerchicf J ecpinj irr: th lrra.st ckel in u way tliat shows it mu-t Ixcn arranged for the occasion. l; it a 3'oung looking man to have made so much noise in the world already, ami in apoearan c reminds om very much of Mr. John Himersieed, formerly morning e-litor of the New York World. There was no photograph of hLs wife, l.ady Churchill on sale. KIXO ALFOSSO OK SrAlX. "They were all sold long ago," said the dealer, "there was an immense demand for them." Another portrait that strikes you as interesting is that of tueen Victoria. It is evidently of recent date and liovs her u well preserved, good natared looking old lad-. Vou can see plenty of fat old ladies driving; about town any fine afternoon, who look "very much as she does. There is nothing fdriking about the picture, unless you take one that has the crown on the head, for there re three or four of them in different ositions and varied costumes. Go to any gathcringof prominent people in Washington on any afternoon or evening and you are pretty Rure to see her face and figure and costume pretty well represented, and quite likely in the person of some one whose husband made Ji is fortune in soap booing or in some equally plebian way. One of the portraits which sriv a clear profile view strike. the observer an a really painful way, showing, as it does, a sloping forehead and retreating chin and general air quite the reverse of that you would expect in Holland's ruler. Clone by the tueen is a portrait of the J'rincess Beatrice, with regular and rather pretty features, black velvet dress which lit tightly atout a well turne I throat, few ornament, but hands which nre pretty enongh out would not require the umai let K'ove in stock at iiy average dealer's establishment. The face is very pretty and the forehead, which might be a good one, is careful I v concealed witli a profusion of "bangM." The l'rincess Christian occupies a place near by. She is photographed in a pensive attitnde. ber head supported by a very shapely hand and arm. the elbow resting upon a desk at her side, while a very j.rt'tty loot peeps from beueath the fashionnbly cut white stin dress and rptt ninm a low ottoman. The King of Italy is a fierteJooking fellow, with, hi short hair combed

straight back from his forehead and standin? on end; his eyes, large, wide open, an I piercing, and his otherwise smooth face ornamented with a very heavy and long mustache which corresponds with the general savage hair and with the military dress which covers his s,hajelv figure. The (ueen of Jspain. who stands Just beside him. U a pretty, wild looking little person, with a tare Just like you might see on t lie strei t any tLy, regular but not especially rriking i'ea t u r . a good figure clad in a white dres dotted with xnnts of darker material, cut much in the style your Alle oi sitcr'.s "party Ire'1 is cut. A very plain little figurewhich impresses vou war that of a modest school girl of. say fifteen, standing with hands f Ided and eves ca-t down as though in thought, is Valerie, the youngest daughter of the Empress of A ustVia. A rather startling picture is that of the Princess Festetiche, who lately committed the terrible crime of marrying a n-rson who was not o-e?.-ed of royal blood. It represents her in the costume in which she appeared at the grand ball masque given for some charitable purpose, and shows her what she apparently is, a dashing, fun-loving, self-willed, but very handsome young woman of twenty or so. The Czar of Itussia and his wife, which are central figures of the group, do not impress you as anything remarkable. You can ste veiy much such faces on the street any day, though there is something of the stolid slav in the full-bearded fare o the Czar. His forehead is given full opportunity to make itself apparent, for there is a scarcity of hair just above "where the hair ought to grow." Iiis wife is a fairly good-looking little woman, plainly dressed in dark materia;, made up as a good many dresses you see every day ot your life. The Princess of I'.attenburg makes a very pretty picture, standirg neatly dressed in white, her eyes upon an open lnxik before her, her pretty and rather delicate face wearing an uncons?ious expression quite at variance with that of the average stuuied josture. The'Jueen of Servia makes a very pretty picture, dressed in some light mate-rial, with very pretty regular features. -ct oil' with heavy black hair, which falls in a wavy mass to a pair of wellrounded shoulders. A picture of the Ein1eror of (Jermany shows him much younger ooking than you would expect. Iiis gray and rather tierce looking moustache and side-whiskers surmornted with a pair of keen, piercing eyes, bis bead covered with a military "helmet" bat something like that worn by our soldiers at present, and his military looking coat profusely ornamented with decorations of various orJers. lie is in striking contract with the King of pain, who has just been in trouble with him oout the Caroline Islands, and who is a slight, side-whiskered and moustached man of say thirty-live, with little evidence of strength of body or character, a ml whose picture is less attractive than that of his rather pretty and plainly dressed wife just beside him. Amoii? the statesmen of men of letters are some striking faces. The Marquis of Salisbury, for instance, strikes you as wonderfully like (iarfield's in appearance. There is the same expression of face, the same month, tlie same arrangement of hair and beard, a likeness which is almost startling in some of the numerous pictures of him which are in

KIS. OKoP.oK or i I: KI'.cK. the collection. Iligbt lion. Mr. Chamberlain, who is n central figure now, is "very Erglish, you know,"' in his appearance, a smooth face with little side whiskers, higli forehead, a full suit of dark bair, and the inevitable eye glass eoverning one eye. lie is in marked contrast with Sir Stathird Northrote. u ho appear very much bowed down Ix iuatb bis burdens, e-itherof yt-ars or duty; bis bead lcnt forward and "hi.s long gray beard and hair apparently unacquainted with the barber's art." 'i'yndall. JIuvley nnd Matthew Arnold are an interesting trio; Tyndall with a thin hatchet, face surrounded with a frimre of whiskers. Huxley with a square, determined lace, heavy lower jnw, large but firm mouth and heavy side whiskers, reminding you a good deal of the late frorttary of the Trea.-ury, Judge Fol if er, while Arnold's picture irresistably reminds youcf the average Irish coa h man, with ' Caiway" whisker, small puckcnsl tip mouth, "pug'' nose and hair parted aln the middle, Jiecent statistic? show that in lsM theiuiitibcrof boiler explosions in the Eni ted States was l.VJ, being less than in the. previous year. There were '2"l ersons killed and 'J 'l injured in them, however, and the number is much larger than it should be. Fifty-six of the explosions took place in sawmill, where the so-called engineer finds a too facile fuel in shavings. Men chosen for audi position should have the gumption to iereeive that stu b firing generates steam too rapidly for afety. These icojle can rcduco the general death rate if they wish, and can especially reduce the present high percentage of mortality among sawmill engineers. A lately published reort on the British army gives the number of recruits inspected tor "lss.'j at ."i!4;'i. of whom li J,.r:. were rejected as unfit for service. There seems to lie no further reason for the ivopular belief that Ireland fight England's battles, fir the recruits lorn in England numbered 77:5 per 1.0X). Scotland gave but 1! . and Ireland 12" per 1,000. The number of short men ottered was unusually large, so much t a.s to give rise to a question whether Englishmen were decreasing in stature. Steady progress continues to be made in the cultivation of tea in the Punjab. In 1SJ there were 1,804 tea gardens in existence. Out of this number forty -four only are Kuroleiai plantations, the remainder being worked anil owned by natives. The total area under cultivation is5,70st acres. In 1.SS3 the total out turn of tea was l,r0O,ii00 pounds, of which tw-MOVi pounds was black tea, and 315,ti'X pounds green. Mrs. Laxotuy has appeared in Bristol in a new plav, nnd the rritics tell us that she has made great improvement in abandon since Bristol saw her last. True, she has abandoned her husband, and it is rumored that she has abandoned Gebhardt like a squeezed lemon. But ehe has not abandoned America. A j', there's the rub. One of the curious vegetables of the Island fioo, nerr Bombay, is the sorrowful tree. Half an ,ur after sunset the tree is full of sweet smelling flowent, although none is to be seen during the day, as they close up or drop off with the appearance of the sun. SteeplenMies.

New York World. 1 Bev. Ir. Talma ;e was found by his friends, who started out cn the steamer Bosa to meet him on Sunday morning, at 1 a.m. Monday, and before daylight the great preacher was at home. He va in the best of spirits when a World rejorter called last night, and looked much stronger than when he left last June. His lai c was thoroughly tanned, and his .oice was clear as a bell." "Oh. 1 had a tremendous time," he said gleefully. "1 can't begin to tell how much 1 enjoyed myself. tlt was the first real rest I bad had in years, and you can rest assured that I made the most of my opportunity. We had a very pleasant trip over. I found Mrs. Talmage and my two daughters in Paris, and together we started at once for Germany. While I enjoj ed myself hugely everywhere I went, it seemed as if our stav in (.lirxnany was the most delightful of nil. I bad never hud an opportunity tj study the characteristics of the Teutonic race. Having be-n driven out when there before by the Franco-German war. So I made a good long st..;.. "And I never met sum a brilliant set of people in my life as I met at Badeu Ba Jen. They were tine-looking, too. There is something in the atmosphere whic h greatly improves and beautifies the complexion. Aud the ia iics were simply elegant. Not over one-f. ,'urth as many Americans were here loubt'ess because of the cholera scare but every European country was represented. It is one of the finest places in the world, having greatly improved during the past ten years. Formerly, you know, it was the headquarters of organized gambling, but since the new law was put into e fleet a great change has come. There is le.-s gambling now in Baden Baden than in onv other similar place in Kurope. The old gambling houses have been built over and made p:ilaccsforthe F.nglish and French, who are present in great numbers during the summer." "Were there any sign of cholera?"' "No. Great precautions were taken. I was surprised at tho exceedingly healthful condition of the jeople. Then we went to London, where I preached the first of the four sermons which I believe were cabled to the World. 1 was preat ly jleasl with my audience, but was disappointed in the city in one respect. I was jerfectly astounded at the jrreat growth of the social evil, which 1 con't believe has been exaggerated in the least by the pajiers. I was in London when the first gun was tired by the Pall Mall Gazette and the excitement was simply immense. It was high time for an expose, and in the end the paper which dared engage in the tiht with triumph." "Was much interest manifested in the international yacht race?'' "Not so much as you would expect. Which won?" "The Puritan." "Good! I sav there was not much interest manifested, and 1 think I know the reason why. While American papers make a specialty of Kuroixan news, London papers give us a very poor show. Very frequently they dismiss the whole country with four or live lines, and the information, even regarding the yacht race, was very meagre. The F.nglish papers are away behind the times. They know nothing of the art of interviewing or any other of the many feature which go to make the newspaer here so interesting. Why. there is only one paper in Kngland that publishes interviews at all. That is the Full Mall Gazette. I said to my wife a dozen times that if a live American should start a i.ajicr there and run it on the American plan ic would swallow those staid old journals in the twinkling of an eye. If Mr.-Pulitzer would start a World there and infuse into it all of his boundless energy and enterprise he would make a success compared with which bis great achievements in New York and Brooklyn would seem very small indeed. Tell him that, with my compliments." "From London you went to Scotland?" "Yes, and thence to Ireland. Thu lartfest audience I ever preached to I addressed in Belirst. 1 spoke in the open air one evening in w hut we would call a Miuare. It is called the Carlisle circus there. It isan open space from which diverge .streets in all directions. Several estimator of the number of jcopU present were made and nolnMly put it less than -in, 0. I said to myself when I stepped upon the platform that t never eon Id make one-fourth of that vast multitude hear me. but 1 did. It was a ( bar, narlight night, and they told me tliat even those farthest away beard very distinctly." "Did you have a pleasant homeward trip?" "Welt, ye-es. It was pleasant all but about forty-eii:ht hours. Then the sea was very rough, and everybody on hoan.1 was sick. I gave right out "and didn't try to recover till tlie bad weather was over. Tlicra was no storm, but we seemed to be in the wake of a perfect tornado and were kept verj- busy. I haven't got off my sea legs yet. I was much surprised at being met by my friends down the Bay at such an hour, and fully appreciated their kindness. Then, too, 1 hear they have arranged a public reception for me to-morrow night. Ina few weeks also I understand we are to have an liutumn leaf excursion to the Switchback region, which can not fail of being very pleasant. After all. I tell you this great home tliat we call Brooklyn is the lcst place in the world. The people are the kindest and most hospitable on the face of the earth. And coming home from such a long trip long for me I can well appreciate the many courtesies shown by both the people and the press." ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. Iteraoval of Sjt mil Stain Hygieuie Hints Decorative Fancies. Benzine is undoubtedly by far the bestand cheaest substance for removing gre:we, resin, Stearine, paramtie, tar, wagon-grease, etc., the purest kind to be applied to the more delicate fabrics. Much spots are veryjjoften complicated by the adhesion of dust or other matters, which, even if insoluble themselves, readily fall oil when the eubstane wit Ii which" they are combined is removed. For spots of oil it is best to add a little alcoholic ether. Silver spots and indelible ink can bo removed, even niter a long time, by means of cyanide of iotnssiuni or Iodide of potassium applied in a concentrated solution. Rust sjots can be made to disappear by treatment with a weak solution composed of one part nitric acid and twenty-five of water, ana afterward rinsing with water and ammonia; copper spots by diluted sulphuric acid and ammonia, end subsequently with water and ammonia. Spots of paint, when not sot able in water and alcohol, can almost always be removed by oil of turpentine, l or complete removal it is necessary to wash the snot afterward in a pood deal of turpentine. Fruit, wine, and similar spots are to be treated by sulphuric acid, which may be replaced sometimes, but not always, by chlorine. The acid may be applied either in the form of gas or dissolved in water; in the first case the substance to be treated is to be atretched at the procr height over burnin sulphur, and in the latter raoistcivi with the solution and then washed with pure water. For fine white table cloths the diluted acid is preferable. Hall's Journal of Health says, that half a tcus oon ful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water and drank will instantly relieve heart-burn or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the juantity gradually to a tcnsioonful of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in a (w

ifJavs. cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, if at the same tiine due attention is "paid to the diet. - An ill-fitting boot, too large or too small, w ill rub tlie foot and sometimes cause acute inflammation. A young girl had long suffered from severe pain in the head, which extended to the eyes, and caused so much distress that the eyesight became impaired, .several physicians prescribed various treatment, but without success. Finally a consulting physician asked to see her boots, which were of the most approved pattern, jKjintcd toes, narrow soles, high heels almost in the middle of the foot. "Ah," said the doctor, "here is the cause of all your tiouble. Get a pair of broad-soled, flat-heeled boots, and never out on t!iee monstrosities again. Mr word for it, in a short time you will feel like a different person." All that the doctor said was fully verified. In a fortnight the unfavorable symptoms bad disapjeared, and the young girl seemed to have received new life. Three years have passed since the sensible boois were first worn, and during all that time there has not been an ache or a pain to disturb the perfect health with which the irirl is blessed. All the paint which is used to paint the modern bedroom should be non-poisonous, the lire place should be tiled, and the windows ma.ie with a deep beading on tlie window-sill. This is a piece of wood like the rest of the frame, which comes up two or three inches in front of the lower part of the w indow. The object of this is to admit of the lower sash bt l.ig raised without causing draught; the room is thus ventilated by the air filtering through the slight aperture between the upper and iwer sashes. And above all things, have an open lire-place in the bedroom: abolish stoves and furnaces from that sacred precinct. I'se wood if jkssible; if not. the softest of cannel coal. Have brass rods placed above the doors to hang portieres in winter; these may be placed on bn-ckets. w hich may of themselves, if painted a bright red or black, or gilded, become very ornamental. ir.(oi:Tioxs. The following suggestions as to decoration are offered by quite expert authority to house-builders who have reached the point of interior finish: That the papering of ceilings is coming more into favor is due in part to the elegant designs brought out for this purpose, hämmert d copper and linerustra are now introduced fort omers, the copper in shades of gold, the other materials in colors appropriate to their subject nnd contrasting with the wall colors in complimentary hues. Venetian shades have their admirers, and meny people are having them put up in their houses instead of inside blinds; they admit a free circulation of air and are thus delightfully cool. A pretty fantasy is s stpiare window of stained glass set in the wall and filling the place of a picture, for an east window a lovely design would be of morning glories or brilliant hollyhocks marshaled in line. A narrow shelf placed over a doorway and painted to correspond with the wood work of the room is a pleasing addition. The tendency for hall furniture seems to be to employ wood of the color or kind prevailing in the hall. Natural finish in mahogany, antique oak, or cherry is largely used for hall settees, a table, a quaint corner chair completing the furniture. CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC.

F.yesigbt among civilied people is not so strong as among savages. The latest device in hotels is a revolving shelf set in the wall so that things can be passed into the room without opening the door. F.lectric street cars are running succcsfully in Baltimore. They run much smoother than when drawn "by horses and more rapidly. Stovepipes can be cleaned by putting a piece of zinc on the coals of a hot tire. Tlie vapor produced carries off the oot by chemical decomposition. It is a notevorthy lact that marriage between deaf mutes and hearing people seldom produce a deaf offspring. The healthy influence tends to obliterate the unhealthy. Bails, sleepers, turning forks ami grindstones are now m ide of glass, th low cost of hard glass castings; about $l..'12 per hundred weight, being a strong recommendation. Firecrackers came from Canton, where they are made by convicts hired from the government at the rate of three cents a day. All the work is done inside of the orison.

F.xnntcut .show that if wheat or corn starch be treated with oxalic 'aciJ, or any other powerful organic ncid a syrup is produced w hich in a certain concentration, and after standing two or three weeks, exactly resembles in taste and appearance an old honey. In a rt jHrt of experiments to the Glasgow Philosophical Society it appears that a live rabbit survived an hour's exposure to a tempcrturc of loo degrees below zero. It was not frozen, its body heat being reduced enly to forty-three degrees below zero, and in two instances recovered. To measure the heigh Hi of a tree, mark two lines on the ground three feet npart. Put a stick in the line nearest the sun exactly three feet above the soil. When the end of the shadow of the stick exactly touches the furthest line, then also the shadow of the tree will be exactly its height. One of the relics in the Norlands (lt. I.)

Four congressmen, two ministers plenipotentiary, two governors and a secretary of State were successfully lulled to sleep between the unnainted pine lioards. A French physician. Dclaunay, has found that dreams which come to the sleeper while on the right side are illogical, absurd, full tf vivacity and exaggeration. Those which come to the sleejier who lies on his left side arc not only less absurd, but also more intelligent. Tliev are apt to be concerned with recent actual events. Ina memoir by Sir J. B.

'Ilow'a Vonr UrrrT' In the comic, opera of "The Mika lo" his Imperial Highness says: "To make, to some extent, Fach f vil Liver A running river Of harmless nieriment." A nobler task than making evil livers, rivers of harmless merriment no person, king or layman could take upon himself. The liver among the ancients was considered the source of nil a man's evil impulses, and the chances are ten to one to-day that if one's liver is in an ugly condition of discontent. someoMe'B head w ill be mashed before tight! "How's yourliver?" is equivalent to the inquiry: Are you a bear or an angel today ? Nine-tenths of the "pure ciusdn?," the actions of divorce, the curtain lectures, the family rows, not to speak of murders, crimes and other calamities are prompted by the irritating effect of the inactivity of the liver upon the brain.

When it had been considered advisable and proper, by a body of leading and representative citizens, that a National subscription tihould be opened for the purpose of providing the funds necessary to the erection of a monument to the memory of the late General Grant, the Grant Monument Association was formed to promote the desi rrd object, and Professor Iticbard T. (iieener, I.L.B., LI..D., an eminent colored man, was appointed its Secretary. The judiciousness of the appointment is obvious from Mr. Greener's ability nnd representative character. He is regarded as the most highly educated colored man in the United States, and there is not one more favorably known by citizens of both races. Professor Greener was lorn. and has always been, free, lie is descended from the tireiner or CJrecner family of Virginia. When young he enjoyed the advantages of education and travel. He was reared in New Kngland, and studied nt Phillips Academy, Andovcr, Mass. After his- graduation from this institution, be continued his studies in the academic departmentof Harvard College, wiicre be graduated in 1S70. At Harvard, as at Andover, be was distinguished its a debater and orator. He twice carried oil' tlie Boylrdon prize for oratory at Harvard, and while in his senior year there, won the Bowdoin prize dissertation, the highest honor of the year, by an esay on the tenure of laud in Ireland. After leaving college he became a Professor in the (Quaker Institute, Philadelphia, later in the Jlijih svbool. Washingtoil, I. C, and in bST.'l was elected Professor of Metaphysics. lgie, etc.. in the University of South Carolina. While there be studied Jaw and received the degree IX. 15. lie was admitted to the: JJar in December, f sTii, on examination in ojk-u court. Although a Ucpubluim iu ixiliti". Mr. Grceiit r was ollere I a place on the Democratic ticket. South Carolina, in Is-?. He declined t li honor, and worked hard for the success of the Haves and Wheeler ticket, in the campaign of that yeir. Governor Wade Hampton was among the gentlemen who, in ls77, recommended him for the mission to JIayti, for which be was an unsuccessful candidate. From 177 Professor Crecner has resided in Washington, pursuing the practice of his profession and taking a prominent part in political contests. In lS-so, he made nable defense of Ca let Whittaker, who had been one of his pupils in South Canv Una, the result of which was that he secured a court niartiul for him, in which he took nn efficient part as counsel for the defense. From lSsl to 18H.J he was Law Clerk to the First Comptroller. United States Treasury. ' He assisted Judge Lawrence in the preparation of his decisions on Treasury law. With the exception of the official apiKuntment indicated, which was in the line of bis profession, from 1877 Mr. Greener has pursued his private practice. He is a prolific, w riter, contributing to various journals and reviews, but rarely under his own name. The Professor is about forty years of age, married and the father of a family. He is hospitable and a favorite in society. In person be is somewhat below the middle size, well formed and quick and graceful in his movements. His complexion and the form of his features give little or no indication of African descent.
