Some of the most entertaining pas­ sages in the just published "Recollec­ tions" of Mr. Aubrey de Vere are tliosq dealing with old times in Ireland--the Ireland of Mr. de Vere's immediate an­ cestors and of his own youth. His grandfather was a very popular county gentleman, with a great love for the poor, wThom he always "helped at a pinch." Here is an instance, given by an old tenant, of certainly rather a tight one. A young man was tried for murder, having killed a member of a rival fac­ tion in a faction light. The judge, re luctant to sentence him to death, on ac­ count of his youth, turned to him and said: o "Is there any one in court who could speak as to your character?" The youth looked round the court, and then said sadly: "There is no man here, my lord, that I know." At that my grandfather chanced tc walk into the grand jury gallery. He saw at once how matters stood. He called out: "You are a queer boy that don't know a friend when you see him." The boy was quick-witted; he an­ swered: "Oh, then, it is myself that is proud to see your honor here this day!" "Well," said the judge, "Sir Vere, since you know that boy, will you tell me what you know of him?" "I will, my lord," said my grand­ father, . "and what I can tell you is this, that from the very first day that I ever saw him to this minute I never knew anything of him that was not good." The old tenant ended his tale by striking his hands together and ex­ claiming: , "And he never to have clapped his eye upon the boy till this minute!" The boy escaped being hanged.

The Emperor, who was taking the air as a private gentle­ man With no marks of his rank about him, told the old man to get in, and at once fell to talking with him very af­ fably. Soon the: soldier mentioned that he had had a capital breakfast that morning. , "What was it?" asked the. Emperor, "Guess." The Emperor ran over all the-dishes he could think <of that -vvere best liked among the common soldiers, but to everything he mentioned the inyalide answered, chuckling, "Better than that." At last, the Emperor giving up ^tlie puzzle,>he slapped his knee and declared" he had taken a pheasa nt out of the imperial preserves. The Emper­ or laughed sympathetically, and the subject was changed. When they had driven some1 time the poor poacher, after, recounting some of his experi­ ences in battle, remarked: "You look like a military man your­ self^ sir: are you in the army?" The Emperor said he was, and was then asked what position he held. "Guess," said the Emperor, The soldier guessed, and guessed again; he finally guessed everything from sergeant up to field marshal, and to every guess he got the answer, "Bet­ ter than that." Naturally, after a while the truth be­ gan to dawn on him, and the poor man was frightened nearly out of his wits; but the Emperor only laughed, told liim to learn discretion in making confi­ dences to strangers, asked him where he wanted to go, set htm down at the right door, and never took any further notice of his loss of a pheasant' than to make it a favorite story at court. them was for about four or five days, in the large bakeries less than a week* in the mills three or four weeks.

Life on the frontiers of civilization is favorable to the development of patient endurance of what cannot be helped, and that is about what is meant by the good old word pluek. A good example of this quality is cifed by the author of "A. Colonial Tramp." All Australian boys are taught the necessity of guarding against snake­ bites. and the method of treating them. Two little fellows. (5 and 8 years old, had gone into the bush to play. The smaller one, chasing a rabbit into a hole, pushed in his hand and brought it back quickly with the head of a most venomous snake attached to one of the fingers. "Quick, Charley!' he cried, putting down, his hand on a stump. "Chop off my finger--the snake has bitten it." Charley, without hesitation, lifted liis ax and chopped off no.t only the dam­ aged finger but two others as well. Then the boys ran into town, over a mile distant, to a chemist, who plunged the bleeding stumps, into the strongest ammonia and afterward dressed the hand.

To hear the stories of money made in Chinese laundries . one would, think there is an opportunity for a perma­ nent cut in their prices. A man who knows a good many of the local Chi­ nese says one laundrypian went bfick to China a few years ago .withj?-lp,000 in American money, all earned in the laundry business, but probably largely by the buying and selling of laundries. There are some of the local Chiuameu who are continually dickering in laun­ dries. One of them, who has recently bought a State street laundry for $1,- 000, is said to have carried on negotia­ tions for the purchase of over twenty- five laundries in Western Massachu­ setts during the last few years. He does not. seem to have much trouble in getting funds for such purchases, as men who have lent him money iii many instances on thirty and sixty day notes say he has always paid before the pa­ per is due. It is said that a good Chi­ nese laundryman can clear $25 a week, although he pays from §14 to $25 a week rent, and sometimes as high as $40, and hires two or three men at wages ranging from $G to $10 a week. When their very economical habits of living are considered, it is probable that they save a large share of their earnings. They seem generally to ha,ve money to pa.A®"their bills, for local merchants who deal with them say their accounts are almost always paid promptly.--Springfield Republican. - Mrs. Window's SooxbiNo Hybcp inr Children SSfwiKS ̂ raare»Uc^ufhott^tloB' i ̂ hout. a parallel either in its own his A Queer New England Betrothal. Hawthorne found romance on the shores of old New England, and there is a good deal of\it unminded in the modern life of the Yankees. The fol­ lowing story of love and marriage, strange as it may seem, is known to the writer to be true: Years ago a summer boarder at a cottage on a point of land which form­ ed the protecting arm of the harbor of a. fishing town in Massachusetts was Shown a girl baby only a few months old. He looked at the babe and ad­ mired, then said to the mother: "Will you give me that babe for my wife?" The mother had known the young man for several summers; she liked him, and therefore answered prompt­ ly. "Yes." "Will you promise never to tell her that you have selected me as her hus­ band?" "Yes." The conditions of the singular be­ trothal were observed. The girl baby grew up, and' summer after summer the young man courted her. When she was eighteen he married her, and not till then did she know that she had been betrothed to her husband while in her cradle. Can old romance be more romantic than this story of a New England fishing town?--Youth's Com­ panion. Thunder and Lightning. Thunder and lightning, though nat­ ural operations, are a cause of great alarm to many. It is seldom any per­ son is injured who keeps away from considerable metallic substances and avoids immediate contact with the walls of the house.. The middle of the room is in general perfectly safe, and the lower rooms are-safer than the upper; A bed removed a slight dis­ tance from the walls of the room is in perijisi^^ecurity, ev§n if the house were struck. When lead is used on th^ roofs of buildings particular care should be taken that it communicates with the spouts, and by these means with the ground. To determine the distance of the lightning, countthe sec­ onds between the flash and the thun­ der, and reckon less than a quarter of a mile for every second.--New York Ledger. Feeding England.,* '|v: f \ I found a general confidence irr En­ gland that theories of some kind*; or luck, or a kind of Providence, or some­ thing that would bring them through r.ll right; but I found no one able to satisfy me as to.how England could be fed under war conditions. .No one t eemed to appreciate that in the great wars with Napoleon the United King­ dom was able to feed itself, and that even as late as the Crimean war in 1854-5 the home production was, after deducting seed, .16,427,742 quarters and Hie imports only 2,983,000 quarters.

The greatest scientific gathering ever witnessed in America is expected for the fiftieth anniversary meeting of the American Association for the Advance­ ment of Science, to be held August 22 to 27 in Boston. Race has a marked effect in deter­ mining forms of insanity. The Teu­ tonic and Scandinavian races are more, subject to the morbid and melancholy forms of mental disease, while the ex­ citable Celts are more liable to acute mania. On the Mesabi range, in the Lake Su­ perior iron ore region, a steam shovel and digger is used to mine the ore, which is worked in an open quarry. The ore rises along the side of the quarry in a face fifty feet in height. The steam shovel is capable of loading five hundred tons of ore per hour upon the cars, whose tracks run along the face of the quarry. The cost of min­ ing by this method is said to be about fifteen cents per ton; When liquid air is exposed in an open vessel, it gradually vaporizes, and the vapor thus formed looks like steam, except that, as Prof. W. C. Peckham remarks in an illustrated article in, the Scientific American, it does not rise in the air, but flows down over the edges of the dish or cup on all sides. This falling of the vapor is due to the fact that it is heavier than air at ordinary pressures. The hand, placed near the steamy cloud, feels the powerful chill of its presence. „ In the attempt to turn "wireless tel­ egraphy" to practical account and make it a commercial success. Mr. W. J. Clarke, of New York, has produced apparatus for sending and receiving telegraphic signals without wires, which is to be placed upon the market. Where, for any reason, it is desired not to use Morse signals, a special re­ ceiver is provided, which is furnished either with a vibrating bell, or with an incandescent lamp, the later enabling the person who receives the message to read it visually. Inasmuch as Mar­ coni's experiments have shown thqt telegraphic signals can already be sent ten miles, or more, without wires, it is hoped that the new system will have" a rapid development. Assumption Corrected. The traveling American must, expect to be "taken down" occasionally in the I Old World, when his love for his own country leads him, after the manner of j all patriotic travelerc, to vaunt it a lit­ tle. An amusing instance of this kind is related by a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing of a visit to Greyfriars' churchyard at Edin­ burgh. ' The sexton was a man of Aberdeen­ shire, and took pleasure in' showing th3 visitor the grave of Duncan Ban Macin- tyre. a Gaelic poet, and in interpreting the Gaelic inscription on it, as if it Avere the chief glory of his charge. His heart wras in the Highlands, plainly. The visitor had been at Greyfriars' be­ fore, and said to the sexton, as the old man pocketed his fee: "I have seen your Highlands since I was here last." "Oh!" said he, with inimitable High­ land inflection. "And had ye never bene there before?" "No. I have never been in Scotland before. I live in America." "Oh! 'Tis a graund country that" "America? It is, indeed!" The old man looked lip in utter sur­ prise. "Nay, nay," he said, impatient­ ly, "the Hielands! A graund country!" All We<lding8 Alike. The pretty brides of Philadelphia would resent any insinuation to the effect that their graceful wedding ceremonies, which are planned with an eye to effect and beauty, were only a survival of the most primitive mar­ riage customs. From antiquity down there is a similarity in the ceremonies. The presents given the bridesmaids and ushers are simply a relic of the rough bribery used by the ancient .bridegroom among his personal .friends so that they.would assist in his cap­ ture of his chosen bride when the day arrived on which he had determiii^d to carry her off. The best man, too, is but a survivor of .the band of friends who accom­ panied the suitor in his wife winning and kept watch for him for days over the bride's tribe, while the lover sought an opportunity to carry off his prize. Even the honeymoon is declared to be nothing more than the hurried flight of the husband with his wife to escape the vengeance of the pursuing tribe, headed by the bereaved father. Looking at the modern customs in Europe and America, one call find a counterpart to them, or at least an ex­ planation, in the doings of some tribe in Africa or in the heart of the Pacific. The customs vary in proportion as the woman is looked up to as a valuable member of the community. That there should be such widely prevalent simi­ larities points to the antiquity of the human race and its conservatism in adhering to matters of form.--Philadel­ phia Times. Columbus Statue in 1792. Perhaps the earliest Columbus monu­ ment iu the United States was that erected at Baltimore "by a French resi­ dent in 1792.

When neuralgia is accompanied by a dull, heavy pain near the heart, frequent­ ly becoming intense, it generally termin­ ates fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynu, who lives^, near Goshen, Ind., survived such an at­ tack and her advice is worth heeding. "In the fall of '92," she said, "I began to have trouble with my heart. There was a sharp pain in my breast, which be­ came rapidly worse. The doctor was puz­ zled andput me under the influence of opiates. These sharp attacks followed one another at intervals and I became weak and had a haggard look. I was constantly in pain, seldom slept and had no appetite. "At the end of two years 1 was confined to my couch most of the time and the doc­ tors agreed that my death was only a matter of a short time. "One day I noticed in a newspa­ per an item a b o u t a w o m a n h a v i n g beeu cured o f neural­ gia of the h e a r t b y D r. Will­ iams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo­ ple and I c occluded to try them. When I had finished J^e box I noticed an improvement in my *«mdition, and when I had taken twelve boxes I was completely cured. 'Those pills have done for you what we could not do,' said one of my physicians; 'they have saved your life.' That was two years ago and my heart has not troubled me since. I believe I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I take pleasure iu telling others about them." Among the many forms of neuralgia •areheadache, nervousnessj paralysis, apo­ plexy .and locomotor ataxia. Some of these were considered incurable until Dr. Will­ iams' Pink Pills for Pale People were formulated. To-day thousands testify to having been cured of such diseases by these pills. Doctors frequently prescribe them and all druggists sell them. Serious Time. Fitting Up a Boy's Room. The following description gives an idea, says Harper's Round Table, for a combined window-seat, shoe-box and bookcase that can be made in any size to fit the space it is required to fill: At a grocery store purchase a good clean box such as canned goods are packed in, and another one about the same width! and height, but twice as long. Remove the cover of the smaller box and turn it on end; then arrange a shelf In it at the left side. To the top of the long box nail a strip two inches wide, and to it fasten a cover with hinges. These two boxes are to be at­ tached by means of screws. A bookcase is to he made sixteen or eighteen inches wide, four feet high, and an inch deeper than the width of the seat-box. Four shelves can be arranged and screwred fast through the sides to accommodate books, and around the top a strip of cornice molding can be mitered and nailed fast. Why let your neighbors know it? And why give them a chance to guess you are even five or ten yeare more? Better give them good reasons for guessing the other way. It is very easy; for nothing tells of age so quickly as gray hair. vigor is a yooth-renewer. It hides the age under a luxuriant growth of hair the color of youth.
