The Age of Publicity, Old time privacy got a great blow when a Paris mob prilled down the Bas­ tille. This ia the age of publicity, and "we have reason to rejoice at it. "Think," wrote President Eliot the other da}', "how all 6ortsof abuses and cruelties are checked and prevented by the publicity of nitidirn life--a publicity which de­ pends on the universal capacity to read." It is true enough that so great an advan­ tage has not been won without a good deal of accompanying detriment. Private life is pried into far too much for the edification of a servants' hall society. M. Taine's desire for seclusion was prob­ ably an outcome of personal tempera­ ment, but justification could be found for it, if that were necessary, in the abuses of the confidences of other men. I Newspapers every day meddle with I matters that it is a needless cruelty to touch. The greatest journals in New York invited their readers the other morning to discuss with the federal authorities whether and how often a aide's wedding dress had beejn worn, oroners subject the sanctity of dead -lay to brutal violation and publish re­ sulting surmises which it was villainy ever to have made. So the sunshine sometimes scorches and withers plants, that are not fit to bear it. Nevertheless without sunlight there can be uo whole­ some life.--Harper's Weekly. A Feat In Carving, In all branches of sport beating the previous record is a performance of al­ most everyday occurrence, and no mat­ ter ho**- ©scelleiit the achievement it is not likely to remain long unchallenged and unconqv >red. The establishment of a new kind or record, although not st Al­ ly within the realms of actual sport, cannot therefore fail to interest that large class of speculators who are ever ready to discover something new on which to stake their spare cash. A wealthy young Cuban recently made a bet with the carv­ er of one of the leading night restau­ rants on the Boulevard--the wager be­ ing for 1,000 francs--that the latter would not cut and make 2,000 complete sandwiches in 34 hours. The carver won the bet easily, accom­ plishing the feat in 19 hours and 40 min­ utes, demolishing 22 hams in the opera­ tion. This huge mass of sandwiches was divided among the'principal hospitals of Paris and the environs, among whose in­ mates the unexpected advent of such tasty morsels created unfeigned delight. --Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Admlaalon Fees at the Big Fair. - The disappointment which follows the payment of a quarter to see the block­ like but hiphly scented Eskimos illus­ trates the great ruling principle at this show, which is that the best that is to be seen is what is seen free of extra cost. If the Eskimos, the Irish village, the animal show, the Turkish town and that sort of thing are worth 25 and 50 cents each to a visitor, it is certain that the great exposition, common to all for one admis­ sion fee, should be rated at a thousand dollars' worth of sightseeing. The wonders of every avenue of indus­ try and the treasures of every form of art from all over the world are all to be seen for a half dollar paid at the outside gates. The things that cost extra are very closely like the sideshows of the circuses and the dime museum exhibits of the Bowery. They a#e genuine, and those in the Bowery are faked--that's the main difference.---Chicago Cor. New York Sun. The Khsm'I Pleasure Boat. There has just been completed by Messrs. Messum, the well known boat builders of Richmond, to the order of the Nizam of Hyderabad, a pleasure boat peculiar in shape and for its size ex­ ceedingly costly in construction. Two boats of the size of a large skiff have been joined side by side by a*cleck, upon the extremities of which rise a number of finely carved pillars supporting a pa­ goda Bhaped roof. The whole of the woodwork is of teak, a wood which is not warped by heat. As an instance of the great expenditure of labor upon the boat, which is only 28 feet long by 14 feet wide, it may bo stated that the tile* of the roof are composed of some 8,000 small pieces of teak, most of which have had to be specially cut. There are no windows, but all four sides of the barge will be hung with pun silk of the richest quality, while the deck will be cushioned in the same costly way to a height of some feet. The barge will be propelled by two feathered paddles placed between the bows and sterns of the two supporting boats and turned by handles after the manner of a amalt canoe. The barge is intended for use on a lake near to which the nizam has a summer palace. It is now moored in the river opposite to Buccleuch House at Richmond.--London Times. V* Mora "Ugnlappc" in Maw Orleans. "Lagniappe" will "be more honored in the Jjpeach than in the observance among tradesmen .of New Orleans in future. This is the name of the gratuity which the Creoles were wont to give to cus tomersy the recipients being chiefly chil dren and colored people. It took the form usually of confectionery, pastry or nuts. The practice is a reKc of the old Spanish domination in Louisiana. The word "lagniappe" is a transformation of the Spanish phrase "la nappa," which means a gratuity, a sweetener, to make a purchaser pleased with his bargain. Thi» custom it seems has never ob­ tained outside of the second and third districts of the city, and "lagniappe" was so prescriptively grounded that it came to be regarded as a right to which the people were legally entitled. In an age of sharp and sordid competition, however, the tradesmen find the gratuity too much of a tax on their profits. A few days ago the Retail Grocers' association of the second and third districts adopted a resolution doing away with the pic­ turesque usage.--New York Pdbt. FOB FAN r PLATED WARE.

Innocent little mice hpve caused .sttch a commotion among the lady teachers of the new Neiser school at Bethlehem that a strike is hinted at unless the directors go gunning for the pestiferous beasts. Although the building is new, a large number of mice frolic about on every floor, and the scboolmarma are in con' stant terror. Feminine eyes glance nerv­ ously about beneath desks, and nervous hands twitch close to the skirts to be ready for a retreat in case a bold mouBie scampers her way. The pupils, especially the boys, whose sense of humor is better developed their veneration, do not hesitate to scare the bothersome mice so they will run toward their teachers. The question is so grave the school board will take action, it is said, to abate what the pretty girl teachers say is "a horrid nui­ sance. H--Philadelphia Record. She Saved the License. (tee should not be too confident and precipitate in affairs of the heart. James McCarthy of Norfolk has learned this bitter lesson. Friday he purchased of the town clerk a license to marry a cer­ tain lovely widow on whom his favors fell. With the parchment in his vest pocket he presented himself before the wi&ow and for the first tftne asked her to be his cherished bride, and in £he cqjptainty of her answer he showed her the precious license. T*h"e proposal woj so. sudden and the gwairi so sure that the widow* was nettled and refused birn with con­ siderable emphasis. Mr. McCarthy was dazed for a mo- ment, and then realizing his discomfi­ ture he dashed the license to the floor, danced a breakdown on it and left the house. The next day, says the local chronicler, the economical widow took the license back to the town clerk and requested him to hold it until the right man wanted her.--Buffalo Courier. •/A' A Tree Started In His Stwmeh. A strange case is puzzling local; leal practitioners and the most nent of the fraternity from Memphis Nashvillfe. John Henry Leake, a stal­ wart negro living on the plantation of R. L. Strong, a week or two since ate a ; f 4> lemon and swallowed one of the seedi»•* which it seems lodged in his stomach and attracting to it a certain proportion of the food subsequently eaten by him ̂ was soon surrounded by a clot or i of matter which gradually grew ] After a short time Leake began to i acute pains in the region of his stomach and applied to a physician, who dis§f« nosed his trouble as indigestion and pro" ceeded to treat him for it. • But the pains increased, and it soon bo» came a matter of impossibility for the sufferer to retain any food except such .' as was administered in a liquid form,: ? and the doctor began to suspect that the cause of the trouble lay beyond the orcHfc * nary phases of indigestion and declared an operation necessary. It was with difficulty that Leake was prevailed on to submit ta this, but he finally con spited. The surgeons thoroughly explored the abdomen and intestines, but withoaj^. finding any disturbing object, though i§ , was observed that the stomach was dla* tended to nearly twice its normal size. Leake suffered the greatest agony, witib, repeated efforts to vomit, which coa> " * tinned until aeath ensued. A post­ mortem examination revealed the fact that the seed had sprouted from the rtms» surrounding it, an'd putting out shoots had actually of tSt® stomach as a creeping plant does a walKf. --Trimble (Tenn.)

Y., who * ; has devoted much time and attention ii 1- the weather and kindred phenomeni, and whose reputation as a meteorologist • is international, has advanced a theory- to account for the general disagreeable- nesp of the present spring. Dr. Veed«r says that for the present the climate of this portion of *the globe has undergone a radical metamorphosis, not unlike that >•' j* which might have resulted from the Id- cality being suddenly placed upon a • high mountain. We are, in short, suf- • fering from an acute case of derange­ ment of the isothermal strata, which lnay last the entire year. - ^ The lines of barometrical pressure axe 1 •ariabl* They have become deranged,; so that the state of New York is now ia- VI Eluded in a belt of reduced density or ; comparative rarefied air. The result Is cold nights and mornings, cold winds and hot sunshine.* We are in Q. mountain climate., Dr. Veeder insists that there - is no telling when-thero will be a change: for the better of the isothermal strata^ but says it is his be^ef, which is coa» : firmed by observations of the sun spots* . that it will last the entire year. ' C ^§1 M Peijnry In England. Confession is said to be good for the soul, snd if such be the fact The Pall Mall Gazette and an English judge can take much comfort. They declare th:;t perjury is becoming a fashionable vice in England. In trying a case ^Bir­ mingham Judge Chalmers, who hJkeen a magistrate) in India, says that ̂ per­ jurers the false witnesses of Bengal, of whom dozens can be got for a sixpence, are not to be compared with their con­ geners in England. In the case he was trying the cross swearing was so hard that no verdict could be given. The Gazette says it is humiliating, but the same vice prevails in London. "Thehonor of a politician, the honor of a wife--it made no difference; you can always hire some one to swear it away."--Exchange. The Mania For Saieide. Another woman who has the suicide habit has turned up in tht^ person of Maggie Benner of New York. Seven times during the past year has she at­ tempted to end her life, but all have been unsuccessful. The first time was in March, 1992, when she jumped into the East river and was rescued. Several weeks ago sh3 drank carbolic acid, and on Tuesday night she attempted suicide again by drinking paregoric and carbolic acid. She has also been sent to the Bellevue hospital four times while suf­ fering from alcoholism. Besides these futile attempts at death she has been ar­ rested for stabbing a woman. FLOUR1 FLOUR!

Dr. Einar Lonnberg has returned from his trip to Key West for the purpose of scientific research among marine ani mals. He describes the sea there as enormously rich in fish and the sponging grounds as the best in the world. He captured and brought with him 50 differ­ ent kinds of fish, three of which had never before been seen along the Florida coast. He found many strange mollusks, crustaceans, actinias and worms, and the first--of the land species--were very abundant on the keys on account of the calcareous soil. On Key West he found a snake that exists nowhere else, also the great black scorpion, imported probably from the West India islands. An ani­ mal of semiellipsoid form about an inch, which he is not able to classify before it is dissected, is probably a new discovery. --Orlando (Fla.)
