AndaTtoqpie who Ask Only to Bt Let Alone. TheAlgiera of to-day premmta an ex- | and most comforting con­ trast, says m writer in the Century for August The French rule may not be •11 that English and American lookers- on conld wish, bnt it has, at all events, swept ont of existence the horrors of ihat time, with the bagnios and the • *lave prisons and the old city gates, the |Bab Asotin and the Babel Oued, on which weye exposed sometimes the •lieadK, ana sometimes the headless t jbodies, of the luckless victims of the The Kasbah, the ancient citadel the Janis saries, is ncnv^full of French zouaves, who in Algiers somehow im- V'li ' press ene as imitation soldiers, and IjV'-" therefore harmless.

Broad, modern boulevards and ;: ̂ streets gay with cafes and magasins de yiouveautex are doing their best to sur­ round and crcwd out of sight the old i5&'. - Moorish town. Lines of tramways skirt |v£- the sea and mount the hilly suburbs; • cabs and gaily painted omnibuses jostle k-each other along the quays and in the ^i^Jinodern part of the town, and of the s moving throng always to be found in fi'. * the Place du Gouvemement, under the . very shadow of the great mosque, and • -occupying, it is said, the site of the ^former slave prisons, by far the larger part are Europeans, there for business or for pleasure. . •< The old order is, indeed, changed. The degrading tyranny, the infamous selfishness, the brutal cruelty of the old rule are gone, never to return. But, " ion the other hand, happily, much of the %>ld picturesqueness remains, and forms, V, in fact, the great attraction of Algiers. The Moors, although outnumbered by •their conquerors in the public places ^and modern thoroughfares, are still the people of the place, and the old town, lei bowed back, crowded to the wall, as it were, by the parvenu neighbor who ^5 stations herself in front, is still essen­ tially the same city as the El Bahadja, Alger la Blanche, of the old days. . Once turn one's back on the nonde- i,* acript quarter at the foot of the hill , where the two towns, the two races, meet without mingling, and old Algiers, the inaccessible, the impregnable stronghold of the pirates, rises before one, its intricate, narrow streets, "like anysterious staircases leading to silence," painfully climbing the steep hillside step by step. Here silence still reigns, and mystery. The houses are high and windowless, the walls for the most part blank spaces, the streets mere little de­ ciles, so narrow that in many places the •^bracketed roofs touch overhead, and so dark in spots that the stranger has to feel his way; and up and down these *»\ «teep and narrow winding streets grave, bearded, and turbaned Arabs and veiled women with anklets and lxenna- f , .tetained fingers pass continually as in a I/1' dream. Their city, their "white city," wraps them round and protects them from outside interference and inquisitive t,gaze, very much, says Fromentin, as 'TQioea their national garment, the bourn- ous. "They ask but little," he adds, "Jin his charming book, "Une Annee dans la Salt el;" "unfortunately that little we cannot grant. They ask to be let alone, not to be interfered with or ^jostled against, or watched, to live in their own way, to follow their own cus­ toms, to do in all things as their fathers did, to hold property without recording it, to build •without uniformity of streets, to travel without being noticed, i to be born without being registered, to grow up without vaccination, to die when and how they please." Training Two Hnmuiingblrds. A young lady, an invalid, residing at San Bafel, one of the health resorts of California, illustrated St. James' asser­ tion that every kind of birds has been •tamed, l^y taming two free, wild hum­ mingbirds. Her doctor ordered her to recline daily, during the summer, on rugs spread on the garden lawn. While taking this agreeable prescription one ; day, sho noticed that two humming­ birds were inspecting her from a safe distance. Their wise little heads, turned to one side, showed their curiosity, and she, • taking advantage of it, planned a more intimate acquaintance. She plucked a fuchsia, attached to a branch over her head, and filled it with sjweetened water. In a few minutes the two little birds : thrust their slender bills down into the flower, and took long draughts. The next day she filled a fresh fuchsia • with honey. The actions of the birds showed that they preferred it to sweetened water. In a few days the • birds became so tame and so impatient that they scarcely waited for her to leave the flowers before thrusting their bills into the honey. One Hay, while phe held the flower '• she was filling with drops from a spoon, the birds caught the drops as they fell, and then, becoming impatient, darted their thread-like tongiles into the con- • tents of the spoon. The two birds were both males, and therefore fought for possession of the lioney-lilled flowex*. But they united to keep other hum- fv? mingbirds away; and when a wasp or a I- bee came near, it was chased away. When the beginning of the rainy season drove the young invalid into the house, she tried to coax them into the ? parlor window. At first they acted as if they thought there was some mis- • take, 'f hey would hum about the win­ dow, where she stood with the flower and the spoonful of honey, or watch her ' from a neighboring branch, but not a sip would they take. But at last, one bird, responding to her call, hovered . ^ about her hand and took from it re- vf p^atedly drops of honey. % U %: ft i. r lite Telephone of 16C4. as glasses have highly promoted otir seeing, so 'tis not improbable, but that there may be found many mechan­ ical inventors to improve our other " senses, of hearing, smelling, tasting, touching. 'Tis not impossible to hear , a whisper a furlong's distance, it having been already done; and perhaps the nature of the thing would not make it more impossible, thongh that furlong should be ten times multiplied.' And though some famous authors have affirmed it impossible to hear through the thinnest plate of Muscovy glass, yet I know a way by which it is easy ? enough to hear one apeak through a wall a yard thick. It has not yet been " '*• thoroughly examined how far Otocous- ticons may be improved, nor what other ' ways there may be of quickening our hearing, or conveying sound through X ' other bodies than the air; for that is not the only medium. I can assure the t, reader that I have, by. the help of a to a very considerable distance in an instant, or with as seemingly quick a motion as that of light, at least, incom­ parably swifter than that, which at the same time was propagated through the air; and this not only in a straight line, or direct, but in one bended in many angles--Fronutcorks of Robert Hooke, published in 1664. The Morning Batk. The morning bath, or tnb, as it is sometimes called, is eminently suited for the constitution of every one, young and old, unless exceedingly delicate. If you have not been in the habit of in­ dulging in this luxury I do not advise you to commence the habit of matutinal cold-water bathing all at once. The tepid soap bath will nine cases out of te* suit young girls better, and they will not have taken a dozen morning baths of this kind before they become sensible of on increase in the appetite, in strength, and in good spirits, and in the capability of enjoying life and everything of good that is in this life. By the use of the soap bath, top, the complexion gradually becomes more clear and delicate, the roseate hues of health begin to bloom on the cheeks, and tlie skin is rendered as soft and" pliant as that 6f a child. The bath, too, causes the eye to become beauti­ fully clear and I know nothing else that will do this. Now, what is it you require in order to render this bath of mine quite a luxury as well as an invigorator of both mind and body ? Why, the soap bath is simple in the extreme. In your dressing-room you have cold soft water and a sponge, probably placed there over night, so that it is in the morning of the same temperature as the air; then you have a nice, soft Turkish washing glove and a piece of plain Castile or ivory soap--not scented; that were dangerous to health; then stand­ ing before a basin of hot water the whole body is quickly lathered and rubbed thoroughly. This ought not to occupy more than say three minutes, and after this coines the cold sponge bath, which need not take more than a minute and a half. A moderately coarse towel should be used, and the skin should be thoroughly dried. Re­ member that the towel must not be rough enough to irritate the skin, but only to produce a pleasant glow; re­ member, too, that there must be no dawdling over the bath--dawdle as much as you please while dressing, but bathe with judicious celerity; and re­ member, thirdly* that you must never neglect to wet the head with cold water' else disagreeable sensations will be the result The bath is to be taken on an empty stomach, and immediately after getting out of bed. The slight shock caused by the cold water will be succeeded by feelings very delightful indeed, feel­ ings which I might describe if I chose, but will not, as I want you to ex­ perience them. There are sponge baths and plunge baths and shower baths, all of which may be taken at home; but for all forms of household bathing commend me to the one I have just tried to describe. In cold water, I may tell you, great advantage will be found from drying and dressirfg in front of a fire. Having dressed and had breakfast eaten, I trust, leisurely, half an hour's brisk walking will do you all the good in the world. This walk greatly aids the effect of the bath, and tends to raise the spirits and cause everything to appear coleur de rose during the rest of the day.-- Cottaqe Hearth. The Harmony of Colors. ~ By harmony of colors we 1th®^r- stand colors placed side by side in such a manner that they do not injure the effect of each other; rather, on the contrary, complete with each other, i e., they gain in intensity. Those who are familiar with the har­ mony of colors can, by using objects of familiar use, make such selections in fitting up apartments, in dressing, etc., so that with the greatest simplicity they are able to produce a more favorable effect than is possible with the most ex­ travagant expenditure without a sense of harmony in color. m A merchant, dealing in colored goods, can very greatly improve the appear­ ance of his stock by knowing how to group them in such a way as to produce a harmonious effect. Very often, owing to a lack of taste with reference to colors among dealers it will be found that the silks in one shop will appear mUcli fresher and brighter than in another. This difference in effect to color is, however, nothing more nor less than one merchant arranges his goods so that the color^*,re in harmony, while the other does not follow any definite plan. In the first instance the goods gain, while in the second they lose in intensity of color. The atten­ tion of the ladies is particularly called to the importance of harmony in colors,, for the most of them in the selection of their colored dresses, bonnets, and trim­ mings produce the greatest discord in the composition of the colors. Har­ mony in color does not depend on the will or caprice or personal taste of an individual, but it is based on the un­ changeable laws of nature, which we shall immediately discuss. Red and Green--A red body reflects green rays, while on the other hand, a green body reflects red ravs. There- lore, green is the color which completes red, and similarly red. is tljie color which completes green. Both colors, there­ fore, gain in intensity. Blue and Orange--A blue body often reflects orange rays, and inversely an orange body will reflect the blue rays. Orange is, therefore, the com­ plementary color of blue, and vice versa, therefore each color intensifies the other. Violet and Greenish-Yellow--A vio­ let body reflects greenislx-yellow, and inversely a greenish-yellow body "re­ flects violet. Both colore, therefore, complete with each other, and intensify each other. , Indigo and Yellow--Indigo reflects yellow, and yellow indigo rays, hence they are complementary and intensify each other. It would carry us too far to descril>e all the other colors which are comple­ mentary.-- Lithographer r.tid Printer. An Impossible Case.

SAID Mrs. Fitzmatirice, "The dear child is such an ethereal creature, and so delicate!

Thinking people who have at heart the best interests of society recognize a growing tendency among what is termed the middle class in this country to sliirk the duties and responsibilities of mar­ ried life. They deplore the evil consequences as a social and national misfortune. Nations are composed of individuals, and it goes without saying that as a rule the man who is bound by family ties is more patriotic and more willing to render assistance in the hour of the country's need than he who has no home of his own to defend. Marriage is also a divine institution, and a duty every one owes to nature. Bnt not only is ceHbacy on the increase, but it is strongly asserted that as a people we are generating physically. Many causes contribute to this latter result, such as ignorance of nature's law and improper living, while the former is due in a large measure to the false ideas of the times in regard to connubial happiness. Formerly, among the happiest class, those with "neither poverty nor great riches," it was customary for a young couple commencing the voyage of life to work together, the wife doing her own housework, cooking, mending, etc., while her husband provided the means. Thus mutually helping each other, the daily tasks became a pleasure, expenses were at a minimum, the founding of a home was the object, and the family circle the shrine at which they wor­ shiped. Sweet home. "Whero the treasures are. there the heart will be also." Such lives were not failures, even though fortune knocked not at the door; but, if perchance it did, and suc­ cess rewarded their efforts, and the goal for which they had striven was reached, that was the crowning glory of it all, and they could afford to take life easier. m But now all that is changed. A young man is expected to accumulate enough, before marrying to support a wife in idleness and luxury. She is not to be a helpmeet to him, but a sort of dainty pet, to be dressed in fine and costly raiment, waited on by servants, con­ stantly in pursuit of pleasure, and with­ out any conception of the sterner reali­ ties of life. She may speak French and German fluently, but she has m> practical knowledge of housework; paints on china, but has no culinary skill; and, although she plays difficult music, Cannot darn a stocking, nor docs she know what economy means. Not that the so-called higher accomplish­ ments are undesirable, but they should not take precedence in rank over the more useful ones. Often no attempt is made to establish a home at all; they simply board at some hotel. The young man is afraid he cannot support so expensive a creature, and is it any wonder hesitates to assume the responsibility. Is there a remedy ? Yes. Teach young ladies the import­ ance of thoroughly understanding do­ mestic duties and putting them in prac­ tice. Let them remember that the greatest employment does not arise from the pursuits of pleasure, but in having some definite aim in life and realizing that they are nearing its ob­ ject as time elapses, and that woman's first duty is to her family. Further, one sees on every hand girls belonging to the intelligent working-class, who, from necessity, have been compelled to learn at home the useful art of house­ keeping and other domestic duties, who, moreover, are blessed with ph ysical health in a high degree, induced by their more simple mode of life and abundance of exercise, and many of them possessing withal at least equal beauty with their more delicately reared sisters. Men are naturally attracted by female, beauty, and if they find intelligence, refinement, and true worth associated therewith, they do not care for one's ancestry' whether they were bankers or literary people, or working men and women, knowing that worth is the re­ sult of individual conduct and not of royal blood. But, alas! the majority of the class of girls referred to are of limited education and uncultivated manners. Veritable diamonds in the rough. Why can't they appreciate the situation, and with the advantages afforded by free schools, public libraries and the general freedom of society polish up, think less of dress and show, and any man whose attentions are worth having will entertain more respect for them than for the butter­ flies of fashion. Many an independent, sensible, high-minded merchant, pro­ fessional man or others well-to-do would be only too glad to get such a girl for a wife.--Health and Home. Ureal Provocation.

The man who would attain to the po­ sition of a maslmr mechanic in any line of mechanical business must acquire something more than mere technical skill, or that knowledge which pertains to the useful or mechanical arts. He should ever cultivate the consciousness that there is always something to be learned in his business, and also very much to be learned outside of it. He should be ever ready to appreciate valuable knowledge from whatever source it can be obtained; carefully study and consider every new develop­ ment pertaining to his business, and, most important of all, swear unfalter­ ing allegiance to duty, to honesty of purpose and faithfulness to principles in the discharge of the important trust devolved upon him. He is most suc­ cessful for himself who serves his em­ ployers best and first. A good foreman or master mechanic is not made of poor material; neither is he the work of a day. His growth in progress is slow, often, perhaps, discouraging, always more or less laborious. He must ever be learning, ever on the alert for some unknown or unforeseen danger, and always awake to those that are known. There is hardly a trade, industry, art, or invention with which he should not be more or less familiar, at least so far as to be able to estimate correctly the inherent elements of danger, and its relation, if anyut all, to his daily work. The changes made in manufacture are to be noted, and the now dangers in­ volved, if any, studied, counteracted, or avoided. A thousand inventions, more or less pregnant with danger, are to be understood, and their hazards or advantages pointed out. In manufact­ ures every year develops new peril in the efforts made to cheapen the cost of production. He should keep himself ported on the various industries of the country, study the financial situation and watch closely tho periods of pros­ perity and depression, and always bear in mind that there are always dangers to face which the most careful study and the greatest skill cannot fathom, and against which, oftentimes, caution and prudence are powerless, or at least can give but partial protection. In art he should be able to judge correctly of every detail of the workshop, as well as to estimate truly the priceless pro­ ductions of skill und genius. The best foremen and master mechanics we have in our great workshops to-day are those who have elevated themselves to their trustworthy positions by hard work, close application to study, and who feel themselves fully prepared to assume any responsibilities as they may in­ crease and be placed upon them.-- Wagonmaker Tho Fountain of Vitality, The source of physical energy and mental activity, is the blood.

One sultry afternoon,a young daugh­ ter of an aristocratic Southerner, in the lower part of Alabama, took towel and soap and went to a cool and shady pool, formed by a creek which emptied into the Alabama River. After she had sported in the waters for half an hour or more, she half-robed herself and crawled into a hammock; swinging partly over the water, and with one foot hanging daintily over the water a fow inches, she fell asleep. Presently a large Newioundland dog stepped out from the bushes, smelt at his mis­ tress, wagged his tail in pleasure, and lay down at the foot of the tree. In half an hour a splashing was heard in the creek further off, and presently huge waves broke the cove, and the waters, disturbed and rolling, made a noise that caught the dog's at­ tention. A second or two later and the ugly nose of an alligator appeared above the water a few feet off from the foot of the sleeping girl. The hungry beast saw the tempting and dainty morsel, and his greedy eyes sparkled in anticipation. He made toward it with mouth open, teeth gleaming, and eyes afire. The faithful dog saw the peril of his mistress, and with one wild bark that awakened the quiet echoes of the woods, hurled himself full at the mouth of the alligator. The dog's warning caused the girl to jerk up her foot, but the dog and alligator met in a deadly struggle. They reared as they met, and the girl wai thrown from the hammock to the bank, bnt the gallant dog went for that 'gator, and having a good hold on him he didn't care to turn loose. They were first in the water, then on the bank, snd the struggle went on, while the pirl's screams soon brought her assistance. The 'gator was finally killed, and measured seven and a half feet in length. The girl says she loves to swim, but never goes in a larger pool now than can get in a tub. and seen that the water e, strained before it goes there. . MR. F.

Place the stems,in scalding water, deep enough to c. ,-er about one-third of the length of the stem; by the time the water has become coid the flowers will have become crect and freah; cut off the ends and put them into cold water. • BECIPE to kill flies: The most effect­ ual remedy for flies is a strong infusion of Souchong tea, sweetened with sugar --as fatal a solution as arsenic. The skin of potatoes boiled in water for some time, and the water afterward boiled down to a sm >11 portion, tOse yields a deadly poison. To CHANGE the color of a rose: Place a fresh gathered rose in water as far as the stem will allow, then powder it over with fine rappee snuff, being careful not to load it too much--in about three hours, on shaking off the snuff, it will have become a green rose.

"Who made the great big world?" he asked, under the subject, "Creation." "God," answered the whole school. "And who made the pretty stars and the great yellow moon to shine by night, and the beautiful- silver sun to shine by day?" "God," said all the children again.' "Correct," he said, pleasantly. "And now, chil­ dren, who made God?" This was a poser, and the school was silent'for a full minute, when a small hand be­ longing to the Postmaster's small boy went up. "Ah, my boy," smiled the catechiser, "you can answer, can you? Well, now, tell me who made God?"
