a ^ B«« ii« a CKRMAHT. rGood HgudtM|lD|i] v- Beer has worked its way into the cus­ toms of the Germans in many ways. It the p< eer ho tori vh home; so that public eat » common for meals in the bee) families togeth< th«ir food as ch people to take their houses, often whole where they can have as they ean get it at tang has almost superseded the family table. Home meals, where they are retained, are nothing like the social cheer they are in America, where every man, how­ ever poor, sits with his family around a common board. In Germany, eacsh one in the morning drinks his coffee alone, and when it suits him to get up. So with supper. When not, taken at the restaurant, it is eaten cheerlessly alone, as we would a "piece," and consists commonly of a sandwich and a glass of beer. Dinner is a simple affair, is served in the family, and is often taken by each one alone. Boarding-houses are almost unknown, the beer houses having driven them out of the great German empire. A stranger, if not at a hotel, takes a room with a private family, where his breakfast (or coffee, rather) is served in his room, while his other meals are taken at the saloon, where he can get beer with them. In the hotels there are not commonly tables set, but the guest usually pays for his lodging only, and eat at the res­ taurants, where he can also drink. In Berlin there are over 6,000 res­ taurants, there being more restaurant keepers than any other class, excepting shoemakers and tailors. The restau­ rants are of all kinds, some serving breakfast, some supper, and others all meals. They are for all classes, too, some for the most wealthy and delicate, others to suit the laboring men, and some even for beggars. Every restau­ rant is at the same time a reading-room, where the principal dailies are furn­ ished ; for few families take newspa­ pers at home. In the restaurant are also chess-boards, billiard-tables, after- concerts and theatrical performances. In short, home, with its people and oomforts, is turned out into the restau­ rant. The German would rather have dry bread and cheese, with a glass of beer, than the richest repast, without beer. One never sees water on the table at a German restaurant. The whole social system in Germany is f affected by beer drinking, which, among other results, has led in a re­ markable degree to the publicizing of their private life. A man in Germany does not love his privacy, but his society; not his family so exclusively, but his saloon companions, There is less of that confidence and satisfaction with winch one in America gives him­ self up to his wife and children, or to enjoyment at home; but he takes them with him tor the saloon, where they all give themselves up, with others, to oommon enjoyment. They do not at snch times feel disconcerted by the strangers present; but a stranger be­ comes another friend in the company; for in Germany familiarity does not consist in the degree of acquaintance, but in the number of persons present. This accounts for the German's socia- blen^ss and for his reputation for friendliness. The first time he meets yon he is about as friendly as he ever becomes. An American, in order to en- Sy anything, wants it to be his own. nt a German will make it his own, if he only has somebody else to share the enjoyment with. The people do not live at home and have no Btrong home feeling. They find home a tedious place, for which, like the French, they have no name in their language. They have a "house," or lodgings, but if they should trans­ late our word "home" with all its ten­ derness, they would have to say "father­ land." Not the individual, but the whole found an interest; not the fam­ ily, but the saloonful, constitutes the unit of society.. Even in their courtship there is nothing of the privacy of the Americans. A young man, instead of repairing to the lady's home to spend a few hours in the parlor, takes her, if he may be alone with her at all, to the beer garden or theater, and there courts and often caresses her in the presence of hundreds of others. What Doctors Earn. The list of the incomes received by the leading doctors in the city is a sug­ gestive as well as a somewhat melan­ choly document. It is an official pub­ lication issued under oath and sworn to by the assessors as being as nearly cor- -rect as they, with all their care and honesty, could make it. The incomes mentioned include all that was received for professional services, as well as all of every other kind which had not in some other way paid the city taxes in full. The prizes of the medical pro­ fession are evidently, if one may judge from this sworn exhibit, marvelously few. The work is laborious, anxious, and exhaustive, as the preliminary edu­ cation is expensive and protracted. Surely the workman in such circum­ stances is worthy of his reward. Yet there is only one medical man in the whole of this city who last year earned $6,000 from his profession, combined with the intdfcest he received on his pre­ vious savings. There is not one man oh the list who had $4,000, and only four, who touched $3,000. When we C6me to the comparatively modest and imoderate $2,000 we naturally conclude ve shall have a full legion. But no, ;»e have only fourteen all told who |i>me up to this figure. J When we come to the ruck between $2,000 and $1,000 the number becomes cheerfully and encouragingly large. As many as fifty-one of the best-known and greatly-sought-after doctors of our city are put down under their own hands •lid seals as having lived and flourished on from $1,000 to $1,800. Some of these are professors, with all the re­ sponsibilities and salaries attached to Such offices, as well as to fully developed carriages and liveried servants. There femain only the unfortunates who frorry along with from $800 down to almost zero. Of these, we are sorry lb say, there were last year thirty-six, |ynd it is to be hoped that from the in Creased attention given to general sani ifttion the number of those thus situated •ill this year not be smaller, but rather the reverse. In sober sadness, all tliis * on't do. It makes the whole system income assessments a huge farce and #huge fraud as well.--Toronto (Can.) . ;>|f Weather Erren. Few erroneous notions are spread so adily and cling so tenaciously as those specting the weather. In noticing ammon errors of this kind, Prof. Cleveland Abbe, the distinguished Meteorologist, urges attention to these ^Jjj&cts: That while the moon might well ' ©e expected to influence our weather, scientific evidence shows that it does jot; that there is no sound reason for Relieving that sunspots have any ap­ preciable effect in producing storms, or Qther local changes; that animal in- , fttinct ranks greatly below human in­ telligence as a guide to future weather. that the indications furnished by plants are due to the hydroscopic co ndition of the air, as are also other "signs," and are less delicate and reliable than the accurate instrumental tests of meteorol­ ogists; that electricity and ozone do not produce the effects often ascribed to them; that thunderstorms do not cool the air, but the cool inrush results, like the storm, from the rise of hot air --at least in many cases; that it has not yet been proven that the removal of foists and the extension of railroads aitfd telegraphs have influenced our climate; that the weather is materially the same as in old-fashioned times, scientific records disproving the faulty recollections of the oldest inhabitant; and that severe storms are no more liable to occur at the date of the equi­ noxes, or on certain days of or month, than at other times. < , * The Last Slave Sale. ? ** - "I remember very well the sale of the last negro in this county at auction," said John Reynolds, an old resident of Ohio County, West Virginia. "There was a public sale of the effects of an estate of a man named Higgs, near Wheeling, and among the effects was a good 'field-hand,' a powerful, well-built negro man. Thomas McConn, Esq., one of the oldest citizens and magis­ trates in the State, was the auctioneer. The attendance was large, and the sale of negroes was rather a novelty. Some of the wealthiest and most influential farmers of the county, as well as mer­ chants and business men of Wheeling, were there. The negro was started at $500 and went up to $800, where he was knocked down to John Goshorn, a merchant of Wheeling, and a large holder in the county. The negro was well known, and as he was taken along the National road toward Wheel­ ing, hundreds came out to see him and bid him good-by. I had not seen such a sight since the day that old 'JJickory' Jackson made his last journey from Washington to take the boat home to Tennessee. The negro was set to work on a farm near Wheeling, but lived only a few months. There was never another negro sold in the county, for within a short time the war broke out and nearly all of tk# slave-holders hustled across the line in order to 'get out of the Union.' Mrs. Lydia Crntrer was the last of the slave-holders. She kept a dozen or fifteen till the procla­ mation of President Lincoln liberated them. Mrs. Cruger's farm lies four miles east of Wheeling, on the National road, and is at present owned and cul­ tivated by Maj. Loring. She died along in the last of the sixties at the age of 102 years. Her first husband. Col. Sheppard, and her last husband, Col. Moses Cruger, were both gentle­ men of national fame. The mansion of Mrs. Cruger was the stopping place of Henry Clay, James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, and scores of others of national prominence from 1820 to 1860. Henry Clay was wont to send his colored body-servant one day ahead of lrim to call on Mrs. Cruger to notify her of his approach and ask the courtesy of hospitality for one night. The occasion of Mr. Clay's visit was al­ ways signalized by a reception to the aristocracy of the county, and not a few of the older residents of Wheeling re­ call with feelings of pleasure the Clay visits to the Cruger mansion. So great was Mrs. Cruger's admiration of the Kentucky statesman that she had a monument erected in the most promi­ nent corner of her grounds. Tliis cor­ ner happened to front on the National road, Clay's own most imperishable monument, and it is pointed out to-day as the most enduring relic of the lady's regard for the great Whig apostJ«,W Washingion letter. A Leap* Year Episode. They were seated in the parlor, and the clock had struck the hour of ten. They were an economical young couple, never utilizing but one chair for both to sit upon, and he always clasped his arms about her waist to prevent her from falling off. The young lady was handsome, and she was exceedingly clever, as the sequel will show, while her male companion was as stupid as a goose. She was rather tall and slen­ der, had bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks, blonde hair, and invariably wore a mauve-colored silk dress. They had discussed the weather probabilities, her papa's rheumatic paralysis, her mamma's neuralgia, and all other stereotyped topics, interspersed now and then with a long-drawn sigh, or a kiss, and the conversation began to drag wearily on. At last a bright idea en­ tered her little head, whereby she could infuse interest into the evening's entertainment, and, besides, bring a very important point before the court. She said:-- "Did you every study palmistry?" "Well, Nellie, I've studied mostly all of the classics," he replied, "but I can't say I devoted any time to that branch. Of what does it treat ?" Why," murmured Nellie, "it is an art whereby you can tell a person's future by examining the palm of the hand. Would you like to know your future?" "I haven't the slightest objection." She took his hand gently in hers and, after making a careful diagnosis of the creases in it, said:-- "You come of a long-lived family; your grandfather lived to lie 82 years of age and your grandmother 75; your father and mother are still living--" "Why, Nellie," interrupted George, "I told you all of that the other night." "Well, that does not make the slightest bit of difference. I could in­ form you of the fact by this art, sup­ posing you had never told mc anything about it. But pardon the digression. You will probably live to be 71 years of age, or thereabouts; yon are desper­ ately in love with a sweet young girl, but too bashful to pop the momentous question; there are two or three suitors for her band, but she is yours, and yours only (sighing); she loves you, dear George, with that maddening flame which can only be the iuscious fruit of a trusting young heart ; she would make you a good wife (pressing his hand softly); in sickness she would be ever found at your bedside caring for you, and you .could not do better than marry her; she is tall and slender, has bright blue eves, rosy cheeks, blonde hair, dresses in manve-colored silk " "Stop!" shrieked George, "I can stand it no longer. Will you be mine ?" And she be-mind. BOW WCTrtK •HIVBY. IN order to locate the body of a man drowned at Abbeyville, Ga., the other day, an old negro took a bundle of fod­ der and put it in the river where the man first sunk. It floated down a.'out fifty yards and suddenly stopped and commenced to whirl slowly round and round. Here the old negro diveu and secured the body. He claims to have recovered four or five other bodies by this means. . THERE are some sins that nothing wve death <N* out. ' Who Tell A Story go OII«n Thejr Fi­ lially Come to Believe It. {^Washington Letter in New York Bun.] The late Col. Scott, of the War Rec­ ords Office, often confounded many a story-teller. .It was he who had the documents at his elbow to furnish the exact truth in regard to every battle *nd campaign, and every order and re­ port in regard to them. To him went a host of people who wanted- light on the war. A few weeks before Ids death Col. Scott said: "There are innumer­ able calls on me from officers on both sides for exact information about va­ rious movements and engagements. Most of them deal with personal af­ fairs. Some fellow who led a scout wants to hunt up a rejiort where his name is mentioned. A Majojc General is not often any more sure of facts twenty-five years old than a private, and a dispute with a brother officer sends both liere for the record. It not infrequently happens that I unwittingly deal some of my best friends cruel blows. A Western Senator came here a year or so ago and got documents that made Admiral Porter ridiculously imaginative, where everybody supposed he was precisely historical, iu regard to President Lincoln's visit to Richmond at the surrender, and an alleged inter­ view en route with Duff Green. The greater part of the story turned out to be fiction. One day an old officer came rushing iu, and, in'an excited tone, ex­ claimed: e 'Have you said 1 was not in the sec­ ond battle of Bull Bun ?' " 'No, not exactly that,' I said. u 'Well, Bob Scott, 1 wa» told you said so, and I came in here to put day? light through you if you stuck to it' " " 'O, no,'I replied, laughing, *1 never said you were not in that battle. What I said was that you yourself, in an offi­ cial report dated the day of the battle, said that you were iu the Cumberland Valley, 100 miles from Centre ville aud Bull Run.' "His eyes looked dizzy and bis face was a most amusing picture of conster nation. What I said was true. I tapped a bell, called a clerk, who brought the officer's oflicial report, and there in his own handwriting, over his signature, in black and white, was his own word that he was not at Bull Run. He read tli report through twice in silence so solid you could slice it. Then he took his liat, and, without a word, arose and left the building. "A prominent officer of my acquaint­ ance has described often in my heariug, y ith great minuteness, the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac. He told the story as an eye-witness, described his field-glass and the point of obser­ vation. I paid no attention to the mas­ ter until I had heard the tale told twice. Then I became curious, and hunted up the official reports made by this officer. I found that it' he saw the Monitor and Merrimac in that battle his field-glass was a most powerful one. He never saw the Monitor and Merri­ mac fight, but was at Falls Church the day of the battle, if his own r«i»orts are to be believed. There is a great deal of fiction in our war stories. "The greatest number of inquiries about war history," said Col. Scott, "come from the South." The John­ nies fought well, and, in the absence of a good deal else to give them satisfac tiou, take great pleasure in their fight ing. Nearly all the prominent Confed erate officers have visited this old build- > ing, and hardly a day passes that we do not receive half a dozen letters from Southerners asking for information^ Care of the Hands. A well-kept hand is a mark of good breeding. A lady will not have bitten or broken nails, neither will she keep her hands white at the expense of use fulness. A hard-working hand may be neatly cared for and be far from dis pleasing. Itr is not a good plan to keep the hands soiled longer than necessary, After drawing in crayon or gardening they should be well washed in warm water and soap, and thoroughly dried Gloves save the hands from much wear and tear, and if the fingers are cut off do not hinder work. Young girls often have red hands, partly the result of poor circulation; to remedy this, plenty of exercise, on horseback if possible, is desirable. Gloves should not be worn too tight, and f.' e juent washing in warm water and honey soap, or in hot water and milk, should be followed bv thor­ ough drying and the use of violet pow­ der. Glycerine used before retiring, camphor ball, or washing with hot wa­ ter and oatmeal is good for chapped hands. If the glycerine is rubbed in white the bands are still wet with soap and warm water it is very efficacious. Sun-burnt hands may be treated with lime water or lemon juice. Much roughness of hands might be prevented by greater care in drying them, and a slight use of violet powder. Chilblains on the hands come from holding them near the fire when they are very cold; electricity is thought to prevent them. Warts may be re­ moved by the application of fresh beef steeped twenty-four hours in vinegar; in a week they will disappear. In En­ gland no hand is considered clean if the nails are not nice. Finger-nails worn long and pointed are not beautiful. They should generally be cut once a week,.and a sharp pen-knife is better than scissors. People who bite their nails deserve the ugly appearance which follows. The nails should be examined each morning, and after washing the hands in warm water, the cuticle about the bottom and side of the nail should be carefully pushed back with a soft towel. If more is nec­ essary, the little ivory instruments sold for the purpose are usefuL The best nail-powder is made of fine oxide of tin, perfumed with otto of lavender, and tinted with carmine. It may be rubbed on with with the finger or with a nail-polisher covered with leather. When some of the particles which nour­ ish the ndils are intercepted, white spots are .the result. If these spots are not removed by the growth of the nail, a compress wet with spirits of wine and camphof may be applied and kept moist for several days. Vaseline cold cream, gently rubbed" on for some days, will also make the spots disappear.--^. M. •Turner, in Good Housekeeping. The Thief in Court. A Thief who had been Arraigned in Court for Stealing a Bolt of Cloth sought to Mitigate his Punishment by saying: "Your Honor should take into Con­ sideration the Fact that, while I could have Stolen two Bolts I only took one." "Certainly," replied the Court, "I see how it is. There is a Chap here who stole two Watches when he needn't have taken but one, and Fll make your Sentences alike." , , Moral--Don't Monkey "with th?

If cats lick their bodies and wash their faces it will rain.. If water-fowl scream more than usu­ al and plunge into the water expect rain. If sea-birds fly toward land and land- birds toward the sea there will be rain. If there are no falling-stars to be seen on a bright summer's evening yon may look for fine weather. If horses stretch out their necks and sniff the air and assemble in the corner of a field with their heads to leeward, rain. If the smoke from chimneys blows down, or if soot takes fire more readily than usual or falls down the chimney into the grate, expect rain. If old and rheumatic people complain of their corns and, joints and limbs once broken at the place of their union, there will be foul or wet weather. If many gnats are seen in Bpring ex­ pect a fine autumn; if gnats fly in com­ pact bodies in the beams of the. Betting sun there will be fine weather. If ditches and drains smell stronger than usual expect rain; and when to­ bacco smoke seems denser and more powerful expect wet weather. If spiders, in spinning their weba, make the terminating filaments loni we may, in proportion to their lengt conclude that the weather will be se­ rene and continue so for ten or twelve days.

One evening I was walking' fn the lobby of a Boston theater with Dr. A. It was the first night of a new play, and Dr. A. was expressing his con­ tempt of the work in no measured terms when the author of the piece came toward us. "Well," he asked, with bright ab­ ruptness, "how do yon like mjr play?" "Mv dear fellow," Dr. A. answered without a instant's hesitation, "if I had written that play I should be so proud of it there would be no living with me." I dragged Dr. A. along before' the gratified author had ceased to be$m with satisfaction over his compliment. "I only told him the truth," he said to me; "if 1 had been fool enough to write that stuff I should be fool enough to be unspeakably proud of it"--Bos­ ton fetter in Providence Journal. , ______ ^ Agony Is Courted By persona who, attacked by a mild form of rheumatism, neglect to aeek prompt relief. Subsequent torture is prevented by an immedi­ ate resort to Hoatetter's Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an occasional draught, will beget this painful malady, where there is a predisposition to it in the blood. It it not difficult to ariest the trouble at the outset, but well nigh impos­ sible to eradicate it when matured. No evi­ dence in relation to this superb blood depurent is more positive than that which establishes its efficacy as a preventive and remedy for rheu­ matism. Not only is it thorough, but safe, which the vegetable and mineral poisons, often taken as curatives of the disease, are not. Be­ sides expelling the rheumatic virus from the system, it overcomes fever and ague, billons* peas, constipation, and dyspepsia. Gussle Was So SuperstitiMt.
