A Hf.MHRL'N miner has been found in Fennsjlvania, aaya the Binghamton Ldut/ir, who lives on two cents a day. He ^â- 'uti brought over and put in the place of an American miner by a mine-owner of Penn- sylvania, who once in four yearH tells his men that war taxes must be maintained unk-as .Vmerioan labor ie to be brought into competition with the " paa|ier labor " of Europe. A iiiE.sii.NT is to be made to the I'rinoesB of Wales on the occasion o( her silver jubilee. Upward of 415,000 has already been collected, and those who have the personal friendship of Her Kuyal High- neaa, or the entree to Marlborough House, will be the donors of the gift, which will take the form of a necklace. The presenta- tion wiH take place on the lUth of March at Marlborough House. Pa.siiul PoiiTEU, the wonderful child revivalist, of Indiana, who is now only 11 years old, recently preached a sermon in the Baptist Church at Williamstown, Ky., that astonished everybody who heard it. The pastor of the church says that he has read sermons on the same subject de- livered by the ablest preachers, but not one of them could compare in power or in elegance of diction with the boy's exhor- tation. TuK Imperial crown of all the Russias is the hnest ever worn by a sovereign. It is in the form of a Bishop's mitre and carries on its crest a cross composed of tivu of the most beautiful diamonds ever cut support- ing the largest ruby in the world. Eleven great diaaionds in a foliated arch rising from the front and back of the crown sup- port this cross and ruby, and on either side is a hoop of thirty-eight pearls, than which there are no handsomer known. Kecknti.v, in Latnbeth Palace, the Aroh- biahop of Canterbury received a deputa- tion from the Coptic and .\by8sinian Churches. The Coptic and Abyssinian Churches are really not two, but one. The Copts are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians and the Coptic is the native Christian Church of Egypt. The Coptic Patriarch, who takes his tile from .\lex audria, but who resides at Cairo and who is regarded as the successor of St. Mark, is at the head of tho Cuplic and Abyssinian Christians. TiiK extra expensu of warming the outer pure air in cold weather, remarks the Caii'ida Health Juurnal, as it comes into rooms is with many people au obskacle to ventilation. But thete same [leoplu often think little of the extra cost of aomo of the higher priced foods with which to gratify their palate, when often they would be bet* ter with simpler, less expeoalve food "Simpler fi'od and purer air" might well be put up as a uiotto on their wall. It should be put up everywhere in the mind of men and of women too, in indelible letters, that the very last essential uf life in which anyone should attempt to econoini,<e, should be the outer pure air. Expenses may be cut down in every other necessary much more safely, remember, and with leas disadvantage than in this one. Tiii-^ is an age of stupendous schemes and the railway comes in for its due share Prominent among these, in so far at least as the features of daring and magnitude are concerned, is the proposal to build a line of railway to connect Minneapolis and 8t. Paul with Pekiu, China, and Irkutsk, Uussia, via Victoria, B.C., and Cape Prince of Wales, Behring Strait, involving among other astonishing things the bridging uf Behring Strait, which ut the point suggested in this scheme is only thirty-five miles wide and from '20 to 'i;> fathoms deep. The distance from Victoria to Cape Prince of Wales IS about I.IUO miles. It ia not stated who the moving spirits in this stU|H>ndous enterprise are further than that they are western men. which leaves no doubt that in the matter of enterprise and aaring at east theru will bu nothing lacking. In a speech delivered recently in London Dr. Edward White said in regard to men- tal bondage : " We were the slaves ot writings, institutions and ancient words ami phrases. We needed freedom to con- sult the divine oracles and revelations. Such freedom would end in the diminu tion of the authority of priests and Parlia- ment, but would increase the individual freedom of men and tend to the greater glory of the Christian religion." A religious contemporary iiaka who or what stands in Dr. White's way, and suggests that this cry for liberty, when every man has it if he will only lake it, ia degenerating into mere babble. If a man cannot tiiid the liberty he wants in one denomination ho can try another. If he cannot lind it in any ho can stand alone. There is really now no longer any intellectual religious bondage except auub as is self-elected. "Tin: decay of old religious animosities ia indicated," thinks thu Chrixtiaii tnioii, " by the modern Protestant attitude toward the Koman Catholic Church. 'The Pope's jubilee, with the numerous e.\pressions of good will from Protestant sources, is a sign. Cne may hold Protestant convictions as resolutely as his fathers held them, and may oppose the Catholic propaganda in Church and State with the greatest /.eal and earnestness, and still preserve toward this Church that attitude ot Christian courtesy which ought to be, although it never yet has been, the characteristic of Christian peoples. It ia not impossible that the time may come when the old antagonism of tho Catholic and the Protestant may appear insignilicant view of the deeper antagonisms which shall make them essentially dhe. 'I'homas Car lyle declared that the real struggle in ovei \ age is between tho believer and the unbe liaver, and it has seemed at times of late as if this phrase might soon deaoribe the practical issue ot certain tendencies in modern society. l''or anarchism and social disordei of the radical kind have their roots in atheism, and it is quite possible that the time may come when the real issue will be between the thetst and atheist ; the man who believes in God and order and freedom and rights of person and property on the one side, and the maa who disbelieves in all these on the other side. Whenever that time comes the Protestant and the Catho- lic will stand side by side in a common defence of those oommon beliefs which have been their possession these many cen- turies." The Persian Burber. In Persia the barber is ijuite an important man ; his profession does not atop at shaving china and heads, but inclndes both surgery and dentistry ; just as it luied to do in England before Queen Elizabeth's time. Uis shop is a atalilike piui.e, with an open front and a brick tloor. f". the centre of the dour is a little tank of water, or rirhaps a miniature flower garden. A breast-high recess in the thick wall is the receptacle for the misoellaneous tools and implements of the barber's triple profession. The razors are set straight and .stiff in the handles like table-knives. Several of these, scissors, combs and a little hand- mirror complete his barbering tools ; but side by side with them are lleams and lancets for olood-letting, brand- ing-irons for actual cautery, and a pair of rude iron pincers for pulling teeth. The Persian barber's customers sit cross-legged on the tloor, or more often, in tine weather, outside the shop, in tho street. To get shaved, with a Persian, is to have, not merely the face shaved, but the entire head, save for a little tuft on top or one ou each side. Not every Persian shaves his beard, but he always gets his head shaved. In the case of boys tho tuft on top of the head is allowed to grow long, the idea being that in u«8e of death Mnhommed will have something to lift them into paradise by. Old men with flowing beards think their whiskers provide this needful hand-hold and so have their scalps Muite clean. Young men and beaux have a little tuft, termed the ryulf, or love-lock, left on each aide to grow long and dangle behind the ear. LATEST FASHION UOTESt Id'efsteiik Hliil IlliK'k E\ei< There is a world wide superstition ttat as soon as a man gets a black eye be must use cold application for hours, and that the best cold application possiole is raw beef. I call it a superstition because it is without reason and against reason Everybody knows that what makes a discoloration of the skin by a bruise is the congestion uf the part with the blood that cannot get away again, so that it decomposes and changes its color; and everybody ought to know- that the way to prevent such a result is to facilitate and stimulate the circulation in the bruised par'. A cold application re- tards the circui ition, and tlie Oest thing is ti) stimulate it by hot applications. Twice in my life I was threatened with a black eye. On the tJrst occasion 1 applied raw beef and other cold applications, and suc- ceeded in producing the blackest eye you ever saw. On the second occasion I got some hot water right away and bathed the eye for about half uii hour in it. The result was that there was not the slightest discoloration at any time.â€" t'/ii<-u<;(i./oiirn<i/ An Arull'H Keply. While exploring tho ruins of Nineveh Layard wrote to a Turkish cadi : " O cadi Can you inform me wh.it is tho size of tho village ; how many are its people, and by what industries lio they live '.'

A little 1 year-old, just learning to spell words of three letters, was sitting at hia desk looking at a book, the words ot which were beyond hia capacity. After trying in vain to make them out he looked up and said : " Mamma, if I had glasses I guesq I could read all these words." Ula rnotlior laughed and .said, " Only old folks need glasses." The little fellow's face became very serious as ho said: "Why, maninm, do you think I'm too new .'" â€" .V/iio York Worhl. Quite a scare has been created at the Chicago Bridewell, where '.150 prisoners are confined, over a discovery ot a case of smallpox yesterday.

The remainder will be treated today. Novelties for .Spring itiid Sutiiiuer Wuiir. AU the young debutante blondes wear bonnets o poppy-red tulle for calling and afternoon teas. Some of the elaborate French gloves are embroidered on the baika with gold or silver thread in designs of tleur-de-lis and aometimea with the monogram of the V7e«rer. On the new bonnets all the trimmmga are lowered, though they are by no means dat. But the towering pointed bows of last year have given place to soft, wide loops, put on to give a broader effect. Very thick aigrettes will be used again, and these us high as ever, but too fine and light to be ob jectiouable. Kor evening wear in t^ way of wraps the plush long coat is giving place to one of red cloth, or preferably of |)oppy-colored cashmere. If of the latter it is made with ;i number of little tucks both back and front, which desce/id to tho waist and tifcro open to form part of tho fulness in the very full skirts. They are lin^d throughout with sicilieiiuB of the same shade and have sleeves opening very wide at tho wrist. A pretty walking dress if made of bright golden brown ladies' cloth, with a very high finish. 'The skirt is edged with a little l;ordill^ of sealskin, above it being many folds hi the material in pinked scallops. The long curtain diapcries are corded with thu sealskin, as are the edges of the vest, which is composed of rows of tho pinked materials. A pretty little uloth and seal- skin to(|iie and a sealskiucape complete thu costume. Corsages with lull fronts are in great favor for dresses of various materials, from heavy ailKS to the thinnest aau/.es. Thu amateur dressmaker will find that this fulness is easily added, and that i'. will improve the simplest bodice. For cot- ton fabrics and also for silks it is only necessary to add two or three inches of greater breadth to the fronts, gathering this fuhiLSs at the throat and at thu waist line. Ill wash dresses thu darts are not taken up on the outside, but only in the lining; in silks, however, thu darts aru sewed in both. Double breasted corsages are becoming too long for slender liguies, as they have tiie ettect of making them appear shorter in the wuist. Ir- regular arrangements are preferred for doublu- breasted bodices, such as IbDping the right side nearly to the left armliole, ttien turning over the top to form a trian- gular reverse and sloping thu space below back to the middle of the wuist line. Another fancy has the doubled parts only below the darts, while tho upper part has a gathered plastron jf si i< or lacu edged by a collar of uioir or velvet, whiuh also crosses with thu lower part to tho left aide, where It IS buttoned. Por waists that are t"0 short braces or bretelles of ribbon are used to givo an ap- pearance of greater length. 'Two ineli ribbons aru folded iiarro)vly to a point just beside the buttons, and are gradually widened until they reach to thu collar, or else the shoulder- seams next the collar, when they again pass down thu back, form, ing a point at the w.\ist line. Narrow lung vests and aleuder .i:vertt ara timt be coming to those short waists. I iiainond shaped revere rolled (jver next a narrow vest are in great favor at present ; each revers represents half an elongated dia- mond, and may be made uf velvet, while the vest is uf moire, or may bu covered with gilt beading or galloon or with lace, and the revers be made of moire. I'll make a pretty \ -.haped opening in a dress high on tint shoulders, tliu straiglit edges of tho fronts of thu dress gouils iini carried back tu tbo shoulder seams and the fulness is gathered aluiig tluse seams. Pretty lapped corsages have thu fulness car- ried still further back on the slioulder- seaniB, and a fabric of contrasting color (such as surah, tulle or Brussels net) partly lills in the pointed throat, passing around tho neck and being carried in folils down the front, lapping to the left sidu at the waist line anil liiiishid there with ii rosultu ur flowing bow of ribbon. l"or instance, a dress of suede-colored beiigalino has pale blue China crape folds in tho neck; and another of gray veiling striped with puiipy- red has bright red sursli folds with inside olds of red tulle next thu open throat. All the shop windows are now filled with tho spring guuds. .\ pretty satinu is uf a light shade of old blue, with polka liuts of a darker shade and irregular sizes strewn over it in such a manner as to givo the elTeut of stripes. Pale gray blue veilings are shown in couiliination with heavy cream white canvas, with widely separated double stripes of the blue grey in bourette. All shades uf green are popular in the new satines and siiminer silks ; the figures are rather large, and aro copied from natural objects, such as leoves, flowers and fruit, rather than the conventional designs that were in favor last season. Nearly all tho veilings and cashmeres, idiaillies and ben- galiues are made in i:umbinations, most of them having skirt mid waistcoat of dull white, striped with thu color from which the draperies and boiiico are made. SIITT VOUR ftlOUIU. Tlio Orielu uf nfuiiy Chest uud Thruut Di!,eitH«s. Some of ns who have attained to the dig- nity of middle age may remember the time when Oeorge (.'atlin, tlie famous Ameriuaii traveller, startled nervous people by sol- emnly warning them of the dangers of opening their mouths. (Jarlyle, whose mouth by tho way, when he hadanybodyto listen to hini, was certuinly " open" to a very consideraldo extent, had emphatically uttered a similar warnmg ; but, whereas bis words had reforeuce imly to the flow of talk, Mr. Catlin was exclusively concerned with tho inhalation of breath, which he firmly maintained ought as tar as possible to be performed by thu nostrili'. Tlio mem- ory of the eccentric little book, with its odd pictorial devices, entitled 'The Breath of Life," wherein theao views were propounded, is just now revived by Dr. .Vbbotts in a new monthly magazine devoted to tho sub- ject uf health. Dr. Abbotts was a personal friend of (.'atlin, ai.d, moreover, assislod liim in writing the little book referred to. Catlin it was who said : "If I were to en- ieavor to bn)ueath to posterity the most important motto which the liuiiian language can lonvey, it would be in tliree wordsâ€" Shut your mouth. " Since then this advice has become one of the common- places of popular physiology. Catliu spent great part of his lifu among tho North American Indians, sojouriieil with them, practiced their customs and mode of life, until lie became as one uf themselves. Ho went among them in the hope of improving his health by travel, for lie was suffering from consumption. Having observed that this insidious diseaso and indeed all chest and throat affections were very rare with the Indian tribes he ini|iiirud into thu cause, got a useful " wriiilile, ' as folk say, prolited by it and was troubled with weak lun^M no more. ,So careful, wo aro told, are thu Indians in this respect that tne women are very particular in inculeatiiig among their children from infancy thu habit of keeping tho mouth shut. How many a civilized white father would at time* be glad to ' inculcate " in tho same direction ' .\fter luwonng tho baby from the breast they carefully press its lips toge. ther before it falls asleep, and wo are told that tl'o habit it thus early acc|iiirod be- â-  omes permanent, i )nu uf tho most umin- ent uf the popular expounders uf scientific truth in tho nresent day is rredited wilh saying that : ' Man is tho only creature that can breathe through the iiiLUth and he is a fool when he does so. " Dr. Abbotts attributes touur Ignorance and neglect of this truth a great proportion of our cases of soro throat, cough, bruncliitis and chest disease. Canes uf the teeth is also one uf the evil coiise- i(Ueiii;es, while tho injury dune to the habiliial e.xpressiun of thu features is suf- tiiiently recogiii/.ea by our idiiteinptiiuiis term, â- â€¢ a gaping idiot," and iIih I'r-nch >/e/« mimelie or " fly swallower. " There seems little reason to doubt, says the Lon- don .NVirn, that chest ami throat diseases, which often spring from the inhalation uf irritating dust, as well as from damp and colli, would be much less fretjuent were Catlin's advice universally acted upon, and civilized mankind learned to breathe through the nostrils aloue. A While Kuhhi. On ThurHday morning Mr. H. W. Bar. ret, telegraph operator at Maiden's Adven- ture, Va., was silting in his office, and, to his astonishment, lie saw a white robin perch itself on a tree near by. He called the attention ot noveral parlies to it, but Ihoy said it couM not be a robin. Mr Hicks, who was present, shot Iho bird, and it provud to bo a robin, entirely white with the exception of a small brick-dust spot under the breast. â€" lUehmumi i \\i.
