Bismarck's Size and Voice.

Suddenly soft bells are heard in ill parts of the house. The electric bells. in the reading-room, in tho committee rooms, the journalists’ room are sounded to announce the arrival of the Chancellor, who has shown that hie will speak presently, for with one of his pencils, more than a foot long, he has noted down something on the loose quarto sheets befor.e him, with letters not less than an inch deep, and this is a safe sign that he intends- speaking. The President bows to him, and Prince Bismarek rises to “take the word.” He is certainly more than six feet high; over his powerful chest and broad shoulders rises a strangely rounded, well-shaped head of enormous dimensions, with no hair upon it, so that it looks like a dome of polished ivory. Thick White brows hang over his eyes like two icicles. These brows give his face a dark and frowning expression, and the look which glistens in his eyes’ is cold and somewhat cruel—at least in Parliament. His mustache is also thick and gray, and conceals the mouth entirely. The whole face is covered with folds and wrinkles. When he begins to speak the color of his face changes from pale to red, and gradually assumes a light bronze shade, which gives his powerful skull the appearance of polished metal. It is a surprise to hear Bismarck speak for the first time. The soft, almost weak, voice is out of all proportion with his gigantic frame. It sometimes becomes so soft that we fear it will die out altogether, and when he has spoken for a while it grows hoarse. The Chancellor sometimes speaks very fast, sometimes very slowly, but never in a loud tone. He has no pathos whatever. Some of his most remarkable words, which in print look as if they had been spoken with full force, as if they must have had the effect of a sudden thunderbolt on the audience, are in reality emitted in an ordinary tone of well-bred conversation. Personal attacks upon his enemies are spoken by Bismarck with ironical politeness, and in such an obliging tone as if they concealed the kindest sentiments. But if his anger cannot be heard it can be seen; his face gradually grows red, and the veins on his neck swell in an , alarming manner. When angry he usually grasps the collar of his uniform, and seems to catch for breath. His brows are lowered still more, so that his eyes are almost invisible. His voice grows a shade louder, and has a slight metallic ring in it. The sentences drop from his lips in rapid succession. He throws back his head and gives his face a hard, stony expression. But it is difficult to discern when his anger is real and when it is artificial. The Chancellor has been seen trembling with rage, and more like the elements let loose than anything else. Once when he thought the word “Fie!” had been said by one of the opposition party he had one of his attacks, which would have silenced the house had every one been speaking at once. With trembling nostrils, with his teeth firmly set, with eyes that emitted fire, and clinched hands, he jumped from his place to the side where the word had sounded. If ample apologies and explanations had not been offered, who knows how this scene might have ended ? But except upon such rare occasions, Bismarck, the orator, is always a well-bred man. He does not bawl nor shout any part of his speeches, but while giving them then- full share of pointed sarcasm, he always maintains the form of a political conversation between gentlemen. — Zurich paper.

Real Whist.

The worst fault characterizing the play of nine out of ten of those who imagine they play whist, is the habit of playing only the thirteen cards originally held. The skillful player of his own hand is of all partners—says the greatest whist player the world has known the most detestable. Deschapeile’s words are strong, but they are well-deserved. (I believe some of the brilliantly badplayers would rather lose two by tricks if they had made all the tricks of their side, than win two if their partner had taken the lion’s share.) Now «to play your partner’s cards as well as your own, youmust know what those cards are. To do this you must watch his play and he must play according to the established principles. But players of this type ’ often boast that they know no rules of play, and apart from sueh boasting, every one who has ever played with them knows that their play defies all. rule. Others claim to know the principles of play, but are guilty all the same of whist enormities of the deepest dye—and they can never see how their false play affects the result. To give an example in passing. It is a well-known rule at whist (that is well-known to players) that if after one round of a suit led by your partner you have more than two left you return the lowest, but the highest "if you have two only; my partner in such a case returns the lowest, and I immediately place (mentally) two more of the suit in his hand; 1 infer that he and I between us have the command of the suit, and after extracting trumps I lead the suit with confidence; but it appears my partner knew nothing about that little rule (belonging to the ABCof the game); he had only two cards of the suit, and one of our opponents has Heard more than I had counted on." My suit is in fact not established at all; when I lead ft I find the enemy with the command, they bring in their long suit and make three or fonr by cards, where perhaps the odd trick would have been ours but for this pitfall digged by a friend.— Prof. R. A. Proctor.

The Dramatic Outlook.

There is no greater curse to the stage to-day than the swarm of heartless, brainless, supercilious theater- goers who come not to be amused, to be touched, to be interested, but to show their immense superiority to the poof deluded fools whqare amused, touched, and interested. Three or four of them in prominent places will damp and chill' and spoil the evening’s amusement of a whole 1 heater. Barbers’ blocks and milliners’ dummies would be an inspiring and appreciative audience compared with them, I can conceive many reasons why an intelligent man should stay away from the theater. I can conceive

no reason at* all why he should come, except for the noble pleasure of admiration. It is so easy and cheap to laugh; it is so easy and cheap to destroy. It took centuries and men of profound genius to build Westminster Abbey, but any fool or madman can with a pound or two of dynamite blow it to atoms in a few minutes.— English Illustrated Magazine.

Formation of Salt-Water Ice.

Marine ice was formerly regarded as formed of solidified pure water retaining by mechanical adhesion traces of the saline liquid. These traces could be expelled by energetic pressure, when acids and bases would be found in the residue of de location in invariable proportions as in the sea. The question of chemical composition of the ice of the Arctic Ocean is complicated in other ways, but it gains in interest what it loses in simplicity. When saltwater is cooled artificially, a small part escapes solidification. The uncongealed residue is insupportably bitter to the taste, and analysis shows that nearly all the magnesia is concentrated in it. The solid block, if it is homogeneous and is not full of holes, and if previously drained, may furnish a passable drink. The natural ices of the northern seas are frequently moistened with a kind of brine, which sometimes embodies crystals of special character, easy to distinguish from the ice around them. According to Otto Petterssen, the relative proportions of chlorine and magnesia are much stronger in these exudations than the water at the expense of which the ice is formed. The liquid cannot then have been mechanically absorbed. On the other hand, there is a deficiency of sulphates; and the conclusion that sea-water ice retains the sulphates more abundantly is confirmed by analysis. With congelation, a sorting of matters takes place; most of the sulphuric acid passes into the part that solidifies, while magnesia and chlorine prevail in the part that remains liquid.— Popular Science.

Why Harvard Made Prayers Optional.

Thirty years ago prayers had dropped first to 6 o’clock and then to 7, and finally lodged at 8. The boys breakfasted before praying, and were at this time fully wide awake. It was not wholly a solemn affair. I remember one President whose prayer was so well known that it was common for the boys to mumble it over ahead of him, keeping just a sentence ahead, while poor Prex came trotting on just after. This was the hour for the great unexpected. Whatever pranks the boys could devise at night were ventilated at prayers. The writer’s father had killed a sheep, this was hanging over the Prex’s head the next morning, on the lamp wire. A loud crowing rooster was shut in the reading desk with the Bible. A cider barrel, considerately emptied, was in the place of the sacred chair. All this sobered down to prayers at 8: 3®, and a rush. The boys were not out of bed till just time for breakfast, and then prayers, which was followed by recitation. The half hour in chapel was filled with sharp study. Any one familiar with the condition of affairs has recognized the utter worthlessness of such an exercise as conducted. At no time is there less of reverence for holy things manifested ojr inculcated. By no conceivable means can 500 boys be brought to a worshipful mood; certainly not with the usual drill of Protestant colleges. Therefore, the fiat has gone forth that Harvard students may henceforth attend prayers, or not, at option. —St. Louis Glofye-Democrat.

Proposed Licenses for Architects.

A law requiring an architect to be licensed by a board of examiners might possibly, if drawn with proper care, be of benefit to the public, but it would be too much to expect of it that it would keep out the incapables, the incompetents, and the scalawags. We have a license law for lawyers, but unfortunately it has failed to prevent the admission to the bar of men who are a disgrace to the profession in every respect. We have also a license law for plumbers—a class of men only second in importance to the architects themselves—but every householder knows that it is much easier to find an ignorant or a dishonest plumber, or both combined in one, than it is to find a good one. If we are to have licensed architects, it is to be hoped that the rets alts of the law will be better. — St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

Hawthorne and the Fly.

A fly is the most impertinent and indelicate thing in creation—the very type and moral of human spirits whom one occasionally meets with, and who, perhaps, after an existence, troublesome and vexatious to all ’with whom they come in contact, have been doomed to reappear" in this congenial shape. Here is one intent upon alighting on my nose. In a room now—in a human habitation —I could find in my conscience to put him to death; but here we have intruded upon his own domain, which he holds in common with all the children of earth and air, and we havtTno right to slay him hii his own ground.— Letter to his wife.

Punishment.

Firm Mother (to boy)—“Didn’t I tell yon that I’d whip you if you played in that water again, say?” Boy—“Yessum.* Firm Mother—“ Then why did you do it ?” Boy—“ Because I didn’t believe you. ” Firm Mother—“ Never mind, you shan’t go down town with me when I go; see if you do.” Shortly afterward the firm mother and the boy go down town together.— Arkansaw Traveler.

He Was a Reformer.

“Briggs,” said a Pine street lawyer to his young clerk,- “why weren’t you at the office earlier this morning?” “Beg pardon, sir, but I am a reformer. I believe that the office should seek the man, not the man the office.*— Tftlliamsport Breakfast Table. Some people claim that in some cases good advice is of greater value than money. I don’t believe this. When it is narrowed down to talk or legal tenders,. humanity favors cash down.

Inebriety Among Railroad Engineers.

As a class, railroad engineers in active service are exceptionally temperate men, The daily performance of their duty requires a‘clear brain and, a steady nerve, which is vefy soon broken up by any use of alcohol. The nerve tension to which they are subjected in active work produces after a time many and profound nerve disorders. One of the hints of breaking down in this class is excessive caution and timidity. Often men who have had an accident and escaped without any external injury will -soon exhibit signs of mental shock, in what is called loss of nerve, or’childish caution. Their trains will always be Hate, they will “slow’down” and slacken speed from no reason except some internal fears, and have to be changed to other work. Insomnia and dyspepsia' are also common signs of exhaustion. After the day’s run, they will be unable to sleep or properly digest food, and alcohol in some form will be found to give relief. This will soon verge into inebriety, and the drinking will be confined to the hours after the work is over. During the day they drink nothing, except, perhaps, beer, and that in great moderation; but when night comes they use spirits to excess again. After a time such men will show marks of failure in excessive caution or recklessness, and be very irregular in the management of the engine. They will have heated journals and broken engines beyond the average experience. These and many other indications soon render them unfit for the work. It is the opinion of a competent authority that an engineer who begins to drink, will be, as a rule, obliged to give up work in two years from general incompetency, although his use of spirits may be at home and largely concealed, and what is called general moderation, A fact has recently come to my notice with its explanation that is of unusual interest. On a through line running out from New York it has been observed that nearly all the engineers who were changed and discharged for drinking were on the night trains, and were considered the most competent. The conclusion was that men on these night runs were more likely to drink, and the individual opinions of railroad managers agree on this point.— Medical and Surgical Reporter. i Mb. E. R. Hoyt, a mechanical engineer at the New Orleans Exposition, was severely injured bv a huge derrick pole falling on his foot. He was conveyed to his residence, and, after only three applications of St. Jacobs Oil, all the swelling and pain disappeared, and he resumed his duties.

Deaf Left Ears.

“Will you be good enough to let me walk at your other side ?” said a gentleman to a companion with whom he was crossing the City Hall Park. “I am deaf in my left ear, and I have been trying for five minutes to get on your left'side, so that I might hear what you say; but you seem to have been endeavoring to prevent me. ” “Why, of course I have,” was the reply. “I, too, am deaf in the left ear, and if we change sides I could not hear a word you said.” Both gentlemen looked astonished, and went on their way laughing. “There is nothing unusual in such an experience,” said a New York aurist. “The left ear is peculiarly liable tp deafness or partial loss of hearing. An immense number of persons rely wholly, or in a great measure, upon the right ear to do the duty of two, and it very soon becomes trained to fully bear the pressure placed upon it. Persons who have been long deprived of the hearing of the left ear can usually hear sounds at a distance far more distinctly than those whose hearing is divided between two ears, owing to the peculiar sharpness, acquired by the solitary organ, which is seldom sympathetically affected. “The only inconvenience I know of in the loss of hearing by the left ear is when one is walking with a lady, or driving a friend in a buggy, or otherwise so situated that you can not easily .get your sound ear toward them. But for a constant traveler, such as a drummer, such an affliction is invaluable. No noise in a hotel can keep him awake at night. He has only to press bis good ear to the pillow, and what can disturb him?”— New York Sun.

Facts for Tourists and Emigrants.

Whether for the tourist, beat on pleasure or business, or the emigrant seeking a far Western home, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best protestor against the hurtful Influences of climatic changes or malaria; the most reliable medicine for general use he can possibly carry with him. It nullifies the effect of sudden changes of temperature, braces the system against the enfeebling influence of excessive heat, prevents injurious consequences from a change of diet or of using bad food or water, is a fine resuscitant of physical enfergy diminished by the fatigue of traveling, and tends to counteract the effects of exposure in rough weather. It is much and serviceably used by mariners and others oue.-door life and arduous labor expose them unusually. It is, moreover, of great service as a preventive and curative of disorder of the stomach, liver, bowels, and as a general tonic.

She’d Burn, Anyhow.

The real true-blue orthodoxy seems to get hold of some of the little folks with a fascinating sort of grip. Heaven and the “other place” are related to them. Said Johnnie the other day, as he picked up his sister’s doll and looked at it earnestly: “I’ll kill you, and then you’ll go to ——* “Johnnie, Johnnie I” said his mother, “that’s very wicked. You shouldn’t send the doll to the bad place.” “She’s chuck-full o’ cotton, and she’d burn, anyhow.” It is claimed that Free Masonry was originated by King Solomon. The number of wives he had to support made female society somewhat monotonous with him, no doubt, and we presume the poor man was obliged to invent something that would give him a chance to get outocca sionally and have a little fun with the boys. * • * Nebvoub debility, premature decline of power in either sex, speedily and permanently cured.

MR. GILL’S DAUGHTER.

Poor Katie! A great sufferer she wu, and most patiently did she endure in the nope that at last her sufferings would come to an end. She was just budding Into womanhood; a fine-looking girl of nearly nineteen, who had, previous to her attack of Illness, enjoyed robust health. I - , Let her mother tell the story, as she told it to two of our editorial friends who recently Spent aii evening at the house. “Katie's illness came on slowly, with great pain in hei; thigh and hip. For a while she kept on going to school, but the pains became so severe that she had to stay at home, and most of .the time lie down on a little lounge here in the sitting-room. We tried the best physicians we could get. The disease batted them all. One said it was -ulceration of ( the thigh bone, and wanted to have the poor child undergo a terrible operation. It turned out to be sciatic rheumatism. Foor chi d! how she did suffer! About four o’clock in the afternoon she would begin screaming with- 1 pain. She couldn't help it. She would sOream and moan ti.l about four in the morning. Then she would fall asleep from weariness, ana sle. p for some hours. ®hls went on for about eight months.) During the nights neither she nor I could sleep. “Katie was a great reader. Cne day in a paper she saw an advertisement of Athlophoros. She asked me to get it and see if it wouldn’t cure her. We had tried a good many different th ng a, but I thought we would try this. And 1 went and got a bottle. I gave her a dose of it toward evening. It was simply wonderful how it quieted the poor child’s pain and put her into a gentle sleep. She slept nicely until ten. Then she was in a great persp’ration. She waked, and I gave her another dose, for the first had done her so much goed. Then she fell asleep again and slept until morning. Her pain was gone. She had hardly any returns of it. The Athlophoros did the wot k tor her most completely. • “But the terrible sciatica had. drawn Katie’s leg up, and made it shorter than it bad been by several inches. She was lame for life, although the rheumatism was all driven out of her. She had to walk on, crutches. One day she fell down stairs, and was o badly hurt that she had to be taken to the hospital. There she suffered a great deal* and after some weeks she died. “ Father Tscheider, of the Paulist Fathers, saw much of Katie during her illness, and knows all about us. Go and ask him, and he will tell you all about it. “Some time ago we gave a letter about Katie’s case, and it was published. We have had numerous inquiries-in relerence to it, ail of which we promptly answer. “I must tell you,” continued Mrs. Gill, "of our neighbor, Mrs. Summers, and her eleven-year-old boy. The boy had one of the most terrible attacks of rheumatism I ever knew a boy to have. I had a little Athlophoros left in the bottle from which Katie had taken. I gave it to Mrs. Summers, and she gave it io the child, who was screaming with pain. When Mr. Summers came home, he was surprised to find the boy sitting up, free from pain, and cheerfully singing. I wish you would go and see them. They live not far from here, on West 12th street. No. 805.” Mr. .Gill added in his own behalf: “I have had a good deal of rheumatism myself, chiefly in my shoulders and arms. But I took Athlophoros and I got fid of the trouble. I did not have to take much, either. I found the medicine acted very quickly.” The Bev. Father Peter Tscheider, assistant pastor of the Church of the Holy .Family, was found at his pastoral residence, No. 417 W'est Twelfth Street, Chicago. Father Tscheider took pleasure in saying that he knew Mr. and Mrs. GiU, and that he esteemed them highly; also that he had seen Katie frequently during her illness, and knew all about her wonderful recovery from sciatica, and her subsequent injury and her illness at the hospital. If you cannot get Athlophoros of.your druggist, we will sena it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. Wg prefer that you buy, it from your druggist, but It he hasn’t it, do not be nersuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street, New York.

Of Course, It Was Empty.

A suspicious character was arrested in Dallas, for having in his possession a pocket-book, which he was supposed to have stolen. “I didn’t steal it,” said the tramp to the policeman. “How did you come by it then ?” “I found it.” “What did you do with the money that was in it ?” “There was no money in it. It was empty.” “Where did you find it?” “In front of that building near the Postoffice.” “Then you are all,right. That is the tax collector’s office, and if you found the pocket-book there it probably belonged to some poor devil who had just paid his taxes, and, of course, it was empty.”—Zeras Siftings.

The use of cathartic mixtures and diuretic compounds only afforded me slight temporary relief, and I grew despondent and discouraged. Indeed, I thought my case entirely hopeless, until at the recommendation of my nephew I began the use of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. I soon experienced relief from my anxiety of mind, and severe physical distress soon c?ased troubling me. Eventually the most gratifying results followed, and at the end of a few months I never felt in better health, nor have I since had any reason to doubt the permanency of the cure.” Mrs. Catherine Seville, of Pittsburg, Pa., writes: .» “I suffered many aches and pains, arising from a state of weakness incidental to our sex. A feeling, of bearing down about my hips at times seemed almost unendurable. I was troubled also with dyspepsia, wh le sediments indicated diseased kidneys. Nothing I tried bene- - —fitted me until I used f>R.eUYSOTra~~ YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA. It has made me very regular in my habits, and I feel restored to perfect health. Sores, pimples, aches and pains, formerly my constant companions, now trouble me no more. It is truly the best friend of suffering women." KIDOER'B PIOTIIE&gESSSB: eR. U.
