OTJRRBNT TOPICS. t t The Qaeenof Sweden is underf^oing pecu- liar treatment to restore ber nerves to a normal condition. Her doctoraiiave ordered her to rise eiirly, make her own bed and ^ast and sweep the room. She has to take a walk in the garden before breakfast, work among the dowers afterward and lead an active outdoor existence all day long. Al- ready the Queen has been benefitted by this curious " cure," the "chambermaid treat- ment," as it is called. PoLTiior.E IE Ketseu, Lord Mayor of London, seems to be a moat remarkable man. His eccentricities are almost start- ling. Not long ago he inspected the boys of the British naval training. ship War- spite. During his address he told tho boys that his wife would take great pleasure in giving each one of them a shilling, which he hoped "they would keep throughout their future lives as a souvenir of the occa. 3ion." ENTiLASn has now many attnictions to present to the stranger in the shape of cathedrals alone. Restorations and com- pletions have been going on for many years, and mush of the domestic wealth of the country has found an outlet in chorch decoration and church architecture. One of the grandest of the old buildings was Bristol Cathedral, dating as far back as 114'i. and partially rebuilt in the four- teenth and sixteenth centuries. The work of restoration began some years ago has just been completed at a cost of J400,000. Oliveb p. Raiim. inventor of the self- scratching match, is livin;: <]uietly in Booneville. N. Y. He is now an old man, and his fortune, estimated at *'25O,00O, gives him every comfort and successfully keeps the wolf from the door. Uis famous match was an inspiration which came to him in sleep. On retiring he had attempted to light his gas with an ordinary match, in doing which he burned his fingers. He had a dream which suggested the device by nhich he made a fortune. TiiEUE is a movement on Lord Zetland's estates to " celebrate suitably " the jubilee of his earldom. He is, however, a sensible man, and has written that while he has no objection to the proposal he must stipulate that thiTe shall be " no fuss " concerning himself. The fact is that the Earldom of Zetland was given by the Queen to Lord Dundas simply because he had loaned large sums of money to the Dnke and Duchess of Kent and had shown himself to be a most accommodating creditor. In England a man may call himself almost anything he pleases and nobody will object. For somrthiuk: like â- 'â- 0 shillings he may advertise in the Timfs the taking of a new name, and thereafter he will be John Jones or William Smith, just as he prefers. There is little or no litigation over titles or names, which are really nowhere of less importance. A man may call himself Lord Bo.and-So. and, though he may be laughed at about the clubs, nobody will take the trouble to dispossess him of the empty title. A Germvn paper recommends a solution of paratfinc in heavy coal tar oil for the purpose of protecting walls exposed to the weather. Tapered walls which showed dampness in wet weather gave no traces of it after an external coating of this prepara. tion had been applied. One part of paraf. l':ne and two to three parts of coal tar oil is solved in a moderate heat ; sufTicient oil must bo used to prevent the solution from becoming sticky. The vessel containing it must stand in hot water while the paint is being applied, which must be done on hot days when the bricks or stone are thor- oughly dry. One coat is sufficient. It has been reported that some workmen while tearing down a building on New Bond street in London discovered a roll of canvas, which turned out to be the portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire, which was cut out of its frame in May, lH7rt, and dis- appeared under mystcrioas circumstances. Messrs. A»;new had purchased the picture for 1' 10,000 abont three weeks before the theft took place, and the only tidings they had received of it since then was a letter from this country, in which the writer offered to restore the portrait for a stipu- lated sum. Intiniries made have not yet verified the report. Iv is announced that five patents wore recently issued to a Baltimore electrician covering methods and apparatus for heat- ing by olectrioity. The inventor, it is claimed , has made a radically new depar. tnre in the art of converting electricity into heat, whereby the losses incident to all previous efforts in that direction have been Sractically overcome. By this system wellings ami other buildings can be sup. plied with heat from central generators by the same conductors which now supply them with incandescent electric lights, and at a cost eonciderablyless than the methovis of heating now in vogue. ExHACsTivK experiments in the manu- facture of aluminium have recently been made at the Krupp works at Essen Germany, and with the most gratifying results. The metal is turned out pure in chunks, some ol which weigh nearly 100 ponnds, and the cost of prodtiction is said to be considerably less than a shilling (2,> cents) per pound. i\ oompany has been formed in England for managing the pro oesa on a large scale, and its patents also «over the niannfactnre of sodium, potassium and artificial cryolite. There can be no donbt that when once aluminium is offered for sale at a few cents per pounJ, it will come into general use. Mil. Fi.ErciiKn, Chief Inspector of Alkali Works in Great Britain, in the course of his annual report deals with a subject of much interest to manufacturers. In remarking upon Mr. llargreavo's hot air engine, or thermo moto.he says that it will not onlv effect the prevention of black amoke, but promise to revolutioni/,e our methods of prodiuoing power. It has been found that energy of forty horse- power can bo obtained with the expenditure of two uallons of coal tar, or l.> pounds of coal per hour. Either liquid tud or coal can be used This result is five or six times more favorable than that realized by ordinary steam engines. A NEW factory in GraiievUle, O., will commence the manufacture of glass upon a new system, which, it is confidently ex- nected. will prove far «ni>erior to the old method now in vogue. In making glass under the present system the factories must remain idle while the pots are being charged with meltcii glass, while under the new innevation this diftictlty is surmounted by the division of tbetank in two compart- ments, one being used for the purpose of melting while the blowing part is stored in the other. This permits a continuous sup- ply to the blower and obviates the necessity of idleness during the time consumed in cbarging|a pot. EBA.STr=JBRiiiiiEB, who committed sui- cide ill New Jersey the other day, had long been famous for his plenomanal appetite, which gained him the nickn*mes of " Pete the Eater" and "Hungry Pete." No farmer ever kept him over a month. He would eat .u meals enough for six ordinary hands, and outside of meals was continually seeking food. One day he ate tnree medium-si^ed baskets of peaches and topped off with a pint of molasses. On another occasion he ate four dozen dough- nuts, washed down by three quarts of milk He was never known to be troubled by Indigestion. Gr.E vr interest is taken in the East in the railway between Siam and Southwestern China, which will be about 1,000 miles long. It has been surveyed, but more sur veyors are going oat from England. It is expected that this railway will postpone for • long time the construction of a line be- tween Tonqnin and China. The China Railway Company has, by the wiiy, com. pleted its line as far as Tang.ku, and in April the train began to run from that }4,000, and which had been granted a license, was sold for 931,500. If tbelicense had been withdrawn under the new Bill the compensation would have been uxed at $27,500. Another house, with a license, worth 510,000, was boaght by a brewer for $ j3,o00, and the compensation would have been S42,500. The calculation was ihat the Bill would have endowed and protected the drink trade at a cost of 51.230,000,000. This compensation would have gone not only to pnblicans bat also to brewers, and even still more to ground landlords. The Government surely could not have foreseen and rightly weighed the consequences of these clauses ic the Local Bill. B1.>'A!(A5 A ItUKSSIN'G THKRE. Salvador Makes Pretty Nearly Kverytbiog Out of the Fibers of the Tree. A young Salvadorian, with the dark eyes and inky hair of his coii::try, talked to a reporter the other day about the Central American banana tree. The tree is 2< to i feel in circumference at its base. Its tapering fibrous body, without a branch, is from 10 to 15 feet in height. The fibers, separated by a thin pith, are as long ui the body of the tree. These r.bers are used in Salvador, just as they are taken from the tree, as shoe.strings and as cords for all purposes. The natives use them largely for bridal reins and lariats. The raw ma- THE LOVEB'8 aFTURH. walks. Each banana tree bears in the twelve months of its existence only one bunch of fruit, but from two to ten trees spring from the roots of the one that has fallen. In Salvador the bunch of bananas is worth fifteen cents, and the dead tree nothing. A cordage factory or paper mill or coffee sack maker, were not the dead trees namborlesa, would i:ive for each tree ten times the value of the fruit it has produced. Split, dried and packed, the bodies of the banana trees might be shippei^ profitably to the Vnited Slates ; but there is no reason why some enterprising American would not take them ill band and ship to Salvador the proper machinery for their manufacture, as labor is fully two-thirds cheaper there than in New York. In Salvador ropewalks are found in unfre>)aented streets and suburban roads. The native machinery consists of a crank attached to an upright board, with which a native boy twists the fibers of the bandana and cactus. A man skilled in the ropewalker's art splices the fibers together, adding to the length and thickness of the revolving cord. Tbe stem of each banana leaf consists of the toughest and dnest threads, and these leaves, two and a half and three feet wide, and ten to fifteen feet long, resting on the heads of native women, are umbrellas in the rainy season in roodess market places and streets of Salvador. These are the carpets on which the people sit and the beds on which they sleep. " There is a :ine opportunity," said tbe Salvadorian, " for some enter- prising American with a small capital to do a thriving trade and make money by introdacing western ideas and machinery to the people of Salvador." â€" Xttc York ildil and Kspren. 4 Ju>lK>ue"t Urena.

Tin: experiment of tobacco throwing in England, which has just been tried, has been sc successful that in the coarse of a short time those persons who have been expressing m a very decided manner the opinion that a tobacco crop is that to which agricultorists will soon look to enable them to pay their rent, may renew their exertions to obtain the sanction of the Excise for the planting of tobacco on a large scale. Since the time of Charles II. this represents one of the first experi- mental crops brought to maturity and passed through the various processes of manufacture. The mere rearing of tobacco plants seems to be comparatively easy : but whether the enterprise can be pursued successfully while current excise obligations remain represents a problem that awaits future solution. TuE London Lancet publishes a sugges- tion relative to the fitting out of ships for the accommodation of phthisical and convalescents generally, with the view of giving them the medical benefit of pure sea air. The proposition, though not new, is excellent. The ships might cruise near enough shore to supply the invalids with fresh meats and vegetables. There are many people who, as the Philadelphia JfiJiiM.' Sexrt says, " are suffering from lung hunger and lung thirst and might regain their lost health if they could get access to the limitless supplies of fresh and pure ocean air, for the like of which they pant at home." An advantage of paramount importance in tbe ocean hospital is that it would give consump. lives exemption from the excessive crush ing changes ot temperature which are so fre>]uent on land, and which, perhaps, more than any other climatic causes, send tboasands into the i:rave. " Bir you must not think that, with all those pleasant snrroundings, I am not anxious to t;et heme," says ex-Warden William J. McGarigle in a letter written to a Chicago friend. " There is only one Chicago. I served it well and honestly, and would like to spend my days thera." WitboQt attempting to pass judgment on the truth ef the closing statement of Mr. McGarigle's letter, tbe .Vnr< says that the gentleman is eminently correct as regards the uni [US character of the city. There is but one Chicago. But the ex-warden should remember that there are also one weary and waiting sheriff, one empty o«ll, one defeated verdict, one JoUet. These are all thrown in with the one Chicago, and Mr. McGarigls must take them all cr none. If the ex. warden can make up his mind to resume business and social relations with the people of this city, he will be received with open arms and hand- cuffs. His decision en the matter is anxiously awaited. Bi siNKSK men, as a rule, write their signatures badly. Usually the signature is the worst written part of the letter. Why it this so ? To the owner of the signature it is an easy enough matter to anderstand it, but easy it is to no one who is unaciiuainted with it. Those who read character by the handwriting always look carefully at the signature. It tells more than any other part. A good, bold, deeipherable signature is a novelty these days, and the hotel registers are too often mere Chinese pui/les, which even the hotel clerks, used to all kinds of signatures, are not always able to decipher. Among busi. ncss men it is sometimes neoessary to cut the signature from a letter and paste it on the envelope in tbe hope that somebody may be able to decipher it when it reaches the post-office from which it was sent. In many signatures there is a go<.>d deal of affectation. People should got into tho habit of writing their signatures so legibly that he who runs may read. The signs, tare is something that every man who writes at all writes often enough to be able to write plainly. Why then should he seek to so tangle it up that nobody can toll what it is? A STinv of tho clanses in the English Local Government Bill relating to the changes in the methoil of granting liquor hceuses, and the com^vusatioH to be allowed in cases where such licenses should be refused, serves to show that there was a strong fouadation for the pubho sentiment which compelled the tiovernment to abandon the proposed scheme. In Eng- land, from the time of Edward VI., when licenses were first granted, they have never been looked upon as personal favors granted to anv man, but as legal limitations and precautions taken agaiaat the trade. They created bo personal claim beyond the letter of tho license ; no vested interest for the holder of tho license, and, above all, no local privilege in the house where he carried on his trade. The compensation clauses, therefore, of the Local Govern- ment Bill virtually created a now law, and that by indirect action. A statement drawn up in opposition to the clauses, based on careful inquiries, showed that a house which had been bufit at a cost of Tableaux) Old Mrs. H , ot Mackinao, was one of the most penurious of women. When she lay dying she told her daughter to bring her a many.oolorad plaid silk dress which she had always worn for her best, and ordered hsr to 'divest it ot its black breadths. ' They are full enough to make you a gown," said the old woman, " and the front will be all I need." " If that s what you want of it, " said the girl as she stopped ripping, " you can have it all. I tvonldn't be seen alive in the old thing, and I should think, mother, that you wonl.ln't want to go fiamnung around at the day of judgment with only half a dress on.' That settled it. and the old woman was buried in the whole gown. â€" Detrvit Ftce Preot. Looked In the DlctloDary. A little girl.'.) years old, was spending the summer in a country boarding hause, where she became a great favorite with the other guests. One of them, a young gentleman, was so devoted that his attentions became quite annoying to her. l>ue day she said to her mother. " Do you think Nr. Brown ought to call me a puny devil '" "Why, nc. my dear," replied her mother, somewhat saooked, " of course not! But are you sun he did ? You must be mis taken." " No, I am not," said the little one, triumphantly. "He called me an ' imp,' and I looksd'in the dictionary to see what it meant, ind it said ' a puny devil.'" Out to 8ee M Wouian. The piopei thing now with the "summer girl" is to go out between the acts, just like a man, »nd drink soda water. A duo or trio ot girls go often to the theatre un. attendei by male escorts, always adopting the En(lish plan, and each paying for her own sett. .Vt the end of an act they get up and fi.0 out to drink soda water, one of them 'standing treat" for the entire party.

" That young lady whom you seem to admire 80 much," said Joe Evans, as we walked around the ball, room, " is Diana EvresoDurt. She it was jilted Earl Har- court. The poor fellow went over to Europe to hide his sorrow and I tead in a foreign paper to-day that he lost his life daring a terrific storm in the mountains.'' As I looked at the girl's lovely face, so pure in its expression, I could hardly believe that she had sent poor Haroourt to his death. Joe left me a few moments later, and I saw he was talking very earnestly to Miss Evrescourt. I was in the midst of a dash- ing waltz when a terrific cry startled every one in the room and I turned just in time to see Diana Evrescourt fall heavily to the fioor in a dead faint. In an instant all was confusion. Bat no erfort served to break the deathlike fsint, and amid murmuring expressions of sympathy and curiosity as to the cause of her sudden illness, the motionless figure, with its rich robes fiowing, and its golden head drooping like a broken fiower, was tenderly lifted and carried from the room. " I am so sorry I broke i: to her so harshly," Joe said, as he walked home. " But how should I know she would care ? Tfie girl has some heart, after all, it seems." " Joe," I said, " have yon never thought that some mistake may have been the means of parting Harcourt and her ? That it might not have been her fault ."' " That could not be,' Joe replied de- cidedly, " for Earl showed me the letter which was sent him breaking their engage- ment. No girl could have ever loved a man and written as she did. " Two years afterward I was walking through a crowded thorout;hfare, when; 1 came face to face with a stalwartlookir-i; yoang man whom I could have sworn was Earl Harcourt or his twin brother. At once tbe thooght dashed over me that per- haps my friend had escaped death in the mountains, where he was supposed to have perished two years before. At the risk of making a mistake I stepped to the gentleman's side and told him that his resemblance to my lost friend. Earl Harcourt, prompted me to address him. " I am Earl Harooart myself," he said. " And you â€" yes, I rememberâ€" you are Hugo Benton." That night we talked away into the " wee, sma' hours," and I listened with vivid interest to the account of bis ureat peril and providential escape from death. "But why have you never returned to America?" 1 asked him at lengl:i. .\ shade passed over his face. " Because." he replied, " America is too full of painful memories (or me to ever wish to go back. Save Joe Evans, there is no one there I care for, and I mads up my mind long ago las time went by and brought me no word from him i that new interest must have crowded his old friend from his heart. Of course, I had no idea a false report of my death had reached him, or I ehonkl have understood bis seem, ing neglect. When did yoa see him last, and how is he? " Now had come tbe opportunity (or which I had been waiting. Drawing Joe's latest letter to me from my pocket I laid it in his band. It ran ia this way â€" and tbe reader will not wonder that as Earl Harcourt ^rnssd its contents a strong agitation was visible upon his dark face : " Yoa inquired in vonr last concerning Miss Evrescourt. 1 ^ave a reparation to make to her. In my artier for what I dt>emed her cruel faJsenees toward Earl Harcourt I spoke and thought bitter things of her, as you know. I have lately learned that the poor girl (equally with my dead friend) was the victim of a cleverly planned plot. " Her father ardently desired her mar- riage with a wealthy suitor whom he favored, and thinking if tbe engagement between her and E.arl could be broken there would bo no obstacle to his schemes, he himself imitated bis daughter's hand- writing in the note which sent Earl a broken-hearted man awav from his native land. " It was through a friend. Mr. Evres conn's lawyer, that I learned the above. While examining his clients papers after his sudden death a few months ago he dis- covered indubitable proof of what I have told yon, and knowing ot my affection for Earl and that I blamed Diana (or all that occurred he felt it his duty to tell me the facts of the case. " Even as I write Diana Evrescourt is very ill. I fear she is not long for this world ; you know her mother died young." That was all that bore npon the history I am relating. As may be readily surmiseil. the next outgoing steamer numbered among its pas- sengers Karl Harcourt". PAPKB. A Yankee BCaouCactarer Says That Pa^er lii Now Matlr From Nearly Kverytlilns. " 'i\'e are now making about everything, from a shirt to a car wheel, oat of paper ; bat we are also making paper out of neariy everything,' said a Y"anftee manufactarer to a TeU-'r im reporter. " The most recent lu.ention in oar trade (and it is one which bids fair to revor - tionize it altcgether; is the process ui making paper out of cotton. It w«a recently discovered by a gentleman from Georgia, who baa thus opened up another ^reat industry to the South, for the hulls of the cotton seed, hitherto considered utterly worthless â€" a mere waste, in fact â€" are now found to be the most valuable for the making of paper pulp. " The discoverer, after much study, cams to the conclusion that the hulls could be made into paper pulp. An analysis of the hull showed that it is composed of nine layers, the two upper ones being black and coarse, while the remaining seven are of very fine fibre, and after beina subjected to a certain chemical process can be bleached a fleecy white. About r.00 pounds of these hulls were sent to a paper mill for experiment, and the result was the product of the finest textile pulp that the chemist had ever seen, while tbe oaper woven from the pulp makes a mucli better and smoother article than ordinary ' news print, as well as a good quality of writing paper. ' •Can paper be made cheaper from this pulp than by the old process? '' ' The time and cost of reducing the hulls to pulp is only 50 per cent, of what the present process re.jaires, thus the price of paper will be reduced about one. half, while the quality will be much better. Perhaps 1 cau illustrate the exact difference in this way ; To reduce the poplar wood t ^ pulp requires twelve degrees of baame liquid, with 120 pounds of steam pressure, and the time consumed ia sixteen hours, but with the cottonseed hulls the time is only eight hours, with one-half the liquid and steam pressure. " In addition the cotton stalks can be used as well for the manufacture of pulpi and by tbe process stated above can be made to produce a good da^a of paper.'
