Sober and Keatreiined mn<1 I)Morons New England Sabbatli. , t fQeorgo Williaiu CurtiB, in Harper'B.] It is 9 o'clock, and the meeting-house lxsll, with a bold voice of authority, as if it had the sole right tor disturb the silence and to speak out, warns the Tillage and the outlying farms that it is tile Sabbath, and everybody must pre pare to come to meeting, and little children hear the bell with awe as if it •were a living voice, and sacred as a part of the Sabbath, and to be heeded under unknown penalties. Obey thy father and mother; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt go to meeting--seem to them All commandments of the first table. The sound of the bell lingers in their ears and heart as a thus saitli the Lord. And lo! at the second bell, the men, who have changed the daily dress and put on their Sabbath clothes, issue from the houses on the village street irith their wives and children, and through the streets, closely following each other and pounding along in a cloud of dust, comes the long line of wagons from the farms. The sun beats down remorselessly, and the man in heavy woolens, such as he wears in the sleigh in January, sits between two women in their Sabbath garments, and the horses trot with a Sabbath jog, and all turn up to the stone platform by the meeting house, upon which the women alight, and the man drives the horse under the shed and chats soberly with -the others at the door. But the minister passes in, not clad ill gown and bands and cocked hat as in the older day, but in plain black clothes. The chatting loiterers follow him in. The bell which has gathered the village into the sacred fold rests from its labors. There is no one in the street. There is no sound. But after a few moments the music of "Old Hundred" pours out of the open doors and win dows of the meeting-house sung by a well-balanced and well-trained choir. It is the opening hymn, and it has a full, vigorous, triumphant sound. Once more Thus saith the Lord. There is another interval of silence, but at a little distance you can hear the voice of reading and prayer. Hark! another hymn. It is "Federal Street," or "Coro nation," or "Dundee," but whatever it is, it is a strain from other years; and voices and faces and scenes and days that are no more all blend in the fa miliar music, and a Sabbath benedic tion rests upon the listener's soul. Before we can answer there is a burst of singing, then two strokes of the bell to announce that "meeting is out," then an issue of the congregation, a proces sion homeward, a driving away of wagons, and so^n once more, the silent, solitary street. In the afternoon there is the Sabbath school, and the good Eastor preaches at one of the school ouses in the farther parts of the town But it is always the Sabbath, in every sight and sound, until the sun has set, and then from the neighboring house upon the hill above the village street comes a clear, resonant soprano voice singing hymns and prolonging the solemn spell of the holy day. The tithing men are gone, and the "deacons do not sit severe and conspicuous in tlie meeting-house, and the minister has not the air of a lord spiritual of the village, and the genius of modern times and the spirit of the age are entertained with full consciousness of what they are. But it is still the sober and restrained and decorous New England Sabbath which recurs every seventh day, and the honest, industrious, intelligent, self- respecting, plain-living village recalls remotely the day of the severe dispen sation, and illustrates the noble man' hood that the severe dispensation fos- : tered. A long silence follows, broken by fragmentary sounds of energetic speech. Is the preacher emphasizing and eluci dating the five points ? Is he denounc ing and alarming that tough regiment in woolen, or winning the wandering and doubting mind ? Is his sermon an official and perfunctory discourse by which the little children are soothed to sleep, and in which the elders like un qualified damnation and the hottest fire, as a toper likes "power" in liia dram ? Or is liis pure and manly life and con versation his true preaching, and hiH Sabbath sermon only a statement of the principles of such holy living and a re vival of the colors in the immortal por trait of the holy life of the Gospel ? Cheating in Gents. The invention of what are called "doublets" in diamond-dealing can be traced back for centuries. One mode of getting up false stones has been de scribed by Jerome Cardan, who has published in detail the method of the inventor, one Zocolino. This person's way of working was to procure a thin flake of a very inferior and cheap ex ample of the stone he desired to "im prove," choosing those which had little color, and might in consequence be procured at a nominal price. As a bottom for his "make-up" he took a bit of crystal which he had shaped to his purpose, covering this with a trans parent glue with which he had mixed the necessary coloring material, so as to be like the finest specimen of the gem he intended to forge, he carefully fixed on the flake of stone, and con cealed tlie joining of the two so deftly by careful setting as to make purchasers fancy that' his gems were not only genuine, but really finer than those of other jewelers. For a time Zoeolino flourished, and was enabled by means of his cunning workmanship to deceive the cleverest lapidaries; but detection came at last, and put an end to his fraudulent practices in gem-makiug. It may be mentioned as a warning to travelers that the Singhalese at Colombo are experts in such frauds.and frequently persuade persons to purchase cleverly set up doublets of pieces oi rock crystal cut and polished. Doub lets in many cases, especially when both parts are really diamond*;, are somewhat difiicult to detect, even by men who have had great experience in the gem and jewel trades. Often when these gems have been set in a cluster it has been found on examination that at least one of the stones is nifule of paste, or is perhaps a doublet. A rather curious story went the rounds of the press some years ago, when on the death of a lady of title, it was found that more than one-third of tlie family diamonds were composed of false stones. These imitations had been so beautifully executed that none but the •cleverest dealers were able to detect them, while in the case of some of the ft tones it was not till their specific grav ity had been tested that a decision could be arrived at. It lias been found on examination, we believe, that neck laces of so-called diamonds have often contained 20 per cent, of doublets or other stones of questionable quality. Bes-pectable dealers in jewelery main tain (hat it is the public who are to blame for the production of false jew els, knowing well enough that genuine gems could not ba given at the prices offered for them. Retail jewelers are not Beldom deceived themselves, not being, perhaps, so well versed in the technical knowledge incidental to their trade as they ought to be. Tradesmen of repute, however, are exceedingly careful in their selection of stock, no gems being offered for sale unless it is known to be genuine, Chamber*' Journal. Tjphoid Fever. The Revue Scientific contained a paper read before the Academy of Medicine on tho use of water in the treatment of typhoid fever, which de serves more general attention. The form of treatment described differs somewhat from that commonly used in fevers, and appears to have been dis covered by a German physician named Brand. Ik consists, substantially, in putting the patient into a bath warmed to the temperature of his body, and then gradually cooled down to sixty or even forty degrees. The effect of this application is said to be magical in the immediate amelioration of the fever. Tho permanent effect of it is best shown in the statistics accompanying the paper. In the French army, l>e- tween 1875 and 1880 there were 2<i,047 cases of typhoid fever. Of these 9,51)7 died, being a mortality of 36.7 per cent. In the corresponding time there were in the German army 14,835 cases of typhoid fever, of whom 1,491 died, a mortality of about 10 per cent. The character of the disease was much the same in both armies, and the general habits and health of the men the same. The only noticeable difference was that in the German army the water treat ment was largely used. An analysis of the statistics of the German army affords still more con vincing evidence. From 18*20 to IBM the rate of mortality for typhoid fever patients was a little over 25 per cent. From 1868 to 1874 the rate was 15 per cent. In 1862 the chief of the medical staff called the attention of the army physicians to Brand's cold water treat ment. The adoption of the new treat ment was followed by so marked a falling off in the death rate as to lead to its still more general use. In the years 1874 to 1880 the typhoid fever cases ranged from 1,741 to 3,620 annually, and the mortality fell from 12 per cont. in 1874 to 8 per cent, in 1880. In the Second Army Corps the water treat ment was more thoroughly tested. The death rate, which was 21 in 100, after the introduction of this treatment fell off in 1867-74 to 14 per cent., and in 1874-77 to 7.8 in 100. In tlie last named year, Dr. Abel, a strenous up holder of the cold water treatment, as sumed medical direction of the corps, and the mortality was reduced through out the entire corps to 52 in 1,225 cases, or a little over 4.2 per cent. Still more striking is tlie confirmation af forded by the experience of five prin cipal hospitals of this division of the army, which were under the direction of Dr. Abel personally. In 1860 the mortality had been reduced to 7.2 per cent, and during the live years follow ing the coming of Dr. Abel it fell to 14 deaths in 764 cases, or 1.8 per cent. The Origin of the Knights Templar. The originators of it were two young French kniglits of noble birth, Hugh de Payens and Godfrey of St. Omer. They found seven others ready to join them, all like themselves of high rank, who had won their spurs in the battle field. They called themselves poor brothers in Christ. They devoted themselves to Christ's service and his mother's. They took vows in the pres ence of the Patriarch, vows of the usual kind, to cut themselves off' from all wo.rldly interests; the vow of poverty, the vow of chastity, the vow of absolute obedience to the Patriarch, and to the one among them whom they should choose as their head. Thus organized, they took the field as mounted police on the pilgrim's road. The palace of the Latin kings was on the site of Solo mon's Temple. A wing of it was set apart as a pilgrims' home, and as the home and station of their guards. The knights had their suites of rooms, with appointments for their horses and servants, and it was from this that they took their name as Brothers of the Order of the Temple. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was their chapel. They had a Gothic hall with lances in rank, and suits of armor hanging on the walls, and long swords, and crossbows, and battle-axes--very strange objects in the Temple of Jerusalem, almost as strange as the imaginary Gothic castle in the mountains above Sparta to which Faust and Mephistoplieles transported Helen of Troy. It was here and thus that the Knights Templar, who were so soon to fill a large place in the world, began their existence--nine young gen tlemen whose sole object in life was to escort pious souls to the scene of Christ's sufferings and resurrection. So much belief was able to do. Their life was spent in fighting. They had a ba" tie-cry by which to know each other --Beaueeant, as we know from "Ivan- lioe" ; but what Beaueeant meant, no one can tell for certainty. It was, I believe, an old cry of the Burgundian peasantry--a sort of link with the old honie. Several German Bulls. The Irish have not got a monoply for the manufacture of bulls. The German papers abound in them. Here are a few specimen bricks: "After the door was closed a soft fe male footstep slipped into the room, and with her own hand extinguished the taper." "Both doctors were unable to restore the deceased once more to lile and health." "A man living at Freudenstadt tried to • shoot his wife, but missed her, for which offense he was promptly locked up." "The chariot of revolution is rolling onward, and gnashing its teeth as it rolls," was what a revolutionary leader told the Vienna students in 1848 in a speech. "The Ladies' Benevolent Association lias distributed twenty pairs of shoes which will dry up many tears." "I was sitting at a table enjoying a ciip of coffee wiien a gentle vo'ce tapped me on the shoulder. I looked around and saw my old friend." "Among the emigrants was an old blind woman who came to America to see her only son once more before she died." The London A London Jackass once visited America, and just before landing in New York got his tail in a barrel of meal, which made him look very odd to the gaping natives. But he was a high born and eye-glassed animal, and the New York Jackasses at once smeared . mucilage on the seats of their trousers, sprinkled them v.iih meal, and walked around town looking like a lot of mill ers on a holiday.

[Pittsburgh Post] "I ain't doin' no bettin' to-day," said a professional gambler to a friend of his as the two sized up tho ^situation at Monmouth Park in Price's pool rooms Saturday afternoon. "Busted?" was the laconic query. "No, but I laced one of my shoes up. wrong this morning. It's a bail sign. I'll let the runners alone to-day." "Are you pnperstitious?" . "I frankly confess that I am," he re plied, as he lit a cigar, "and I don't know of a sporting man or gambler in Pittsburgh that is not superstitious, and, furthermore, I do not believe there is a human being living who is not. Of course some are more than others, but take gamblers and horsemen as a class, and you will find that each one has his own peculiar quilp. Now, this morn ing I laced my shoe up wrong. If I had left it that way it would have been a lucky day for me, but I did not; I unlaced it, and I'll bet two to one if I bought a pool on a horse he would break his neck before ho came under the string." "That's quite interesting. Would you mind giving me some of your experi ence? What do you consider a lucky omen ?" "You want to know what I call a lucky omen, eh? That's just as the idea strikes me. When I was in New York last summer I used to count white horses. . Say I would be standing at the corner of Fulton street and Broad way, I would take out my watch--when I had one--and time myself and count the number of white horses that turned from Broadway into Fulton street dur ing five minutes' time. I sometimes would go on the odd numbers, and sometimes on the even. Like this: If I made up my mind on the even horses, and an even number went by during the five minutes, then I would be lucky, and vice versa." "I have heard of gamblers visiting fortune-tellers for tips. Do you ever visit them?" "Many a time, sir. Here's one in stance: I am a red-hot Republican, and was backing Jim Blaine to slieol and gone, when I went one dav to see a fortune-teller. Says she: ou have been making foolish bets; go and bet the other way all that you have--all the money that you can beg "or borrow.' I told her I was betting on Blaine, and she said 'Wait.' Then she went into another room and came out in about a minute, 'Cleveland will be elected as sure as you sit in that chair.' That was a paralyzer, but I took stock in it, for she never fooled me in her life. I hedged and bet on Grover, all on her account, and made $2,000 clear above my hedge and of Kelly, the bookmaker. "Here's another instance from the same woman: I had been playing in hard luck till I only had $12 left. I went to her and told her how I was fixed, and that I wanted a tip on the races. She told me to read the names of the horses to her. I did so, and when I got through the list she said: 'Tilford is the only one lam sure of; bet your money on Tilford.' I went down to the track, and when the horses went to tho post there were only four tickets on him. This was a bonanza, you know, if he won. I bought one $5 ticket. The track was a regular duck pond, slosh up to the horses' knees. Tilford came in last. Oh, I forgot, he was entered for two races that day. The next race ho was in I heard Mike Daly, who owned him, wanted to scratch him, but the judges wouldn't have it. That wasn't very encouraging, but I stuck to him and put my last fiver on him. His jockey fanned ' him every jump and brought him in a winner by two lengths. I got five hundred odd dollars for mv $5 ticket. So much for fortune-tellers' tips. Some fortune tellers are snide, but take one educated, or that lias it naturally born in them, and tkey get there as a general rule." The Country Store. Did you ever glance through a country or suburban "general store?" When the usual economical man whose taste does not run to the plow, the rather gentle and unambitious gentleman, with the pretty blonde wife and a new baby every year, looks around in a quiet spot to see what he can bring into the village for a little capital to sell at a moderate profit, he sees the limits of any special article except whisky, and he goes in for everything. Of course he has school books, some of them rather out of date, but still full of ques tions and answers and figures and facts. Toys he must have, and here and there you will find the transparent slate, the brilliant top, the puzzle of last century, the old, old figures that we--if you are old enough to be included--were brought up to consider the height of in genuity. the acme of entertainment. You will find candies in bottles, made on old principles and healthy to eat if pasty to look at. There may be flies in the bottles, but with ingenuous youth they pass for currants, and once in a while the storekeeper comes across a drummer who sells him a lot of old faded fancy paper boxes from dead Christmas times and birthdays- of the past, and breaks up the village with the senation. Then you'll find slate pencils. They have but little faith in the general comprehension of their customers, these country storekeepers, and so they always tie the pencil to the slate so that there can be no mistake. Stacks of picture-books of a pattern tlie city kid wonld turn up liis con temptuous nose at will be found in kind of boxes or mangers, all bundled up together, and sold apparently by their thickness. Balls of twine, Bohemian glass inkstands of cheap price; note paper with fashions in crests and monograms and things that have passed into limbo; lead pencils that have "job lot" written all over them; motto lozenges, with mottoes half melted awav; all sorts of toys and useful things in thin metal and painted wood, and the open-eyed child wanders through the place as if it were in fairy land.--San Francisco Chronicle. Wrestling. ' The wrestling of the ancient Greeks was of two kinds, The simplest and earliest in practice was termed stand-up wrestling. This contest was only carried on as long as the parties kept their footing, but if one of them was thrown, liis antagonist permitted him to rise until he met with three falls, which de cided the victory. The other kind, which was of later adoption, was called ground wrestling, and the contest was continued on the ground after one or both parties had fallen, and until one of them finding himself unable to rise again was obliged to acknowledge him self vanquished. The wrestling ground was strewn with sand, and the l>odies t the combatants were sprinkled over with fine dust, in order to give the ad- * t-ssgies a firm hold. Two 188G Gold Medals. Messrs.

Wonderfully various are the means men have devised for preparing their food to make it easy of digestion, pleas ant of taste. In these they ha\e been guided by instinct, and not infrequently enlightened by knowledge, climate, modes of life, tastes. Prejudices did or. IVien, and some women, weaken the di- destive machinery by self-indulgence and indolence; it therefore needs to be stimulated into activity by condi ments, by high flavors, and by mental exhilaration. The stimulus of festal excitement, the merrv laugh and good talk of a well-served dinner, spur the indolent organs of digestion and enable men to master food which, if eaten in solitude, silence, or sorrow, would pro duce indigestion and suicidal ideas. Food seems a very simple thing until a long experience has taught us its com plexity. Food seems a very simple thing till science reveals its metamor phoses in the way of cooking, as with the Romans, for example, who began with pulse, bread, fruit, vegetables, a few meats, wine, and water; then fol lowed boer. Then followed next, when they became such gourmets as the world has not seen since, the search for rarities--the livers and tongues of nightingales, brains of Humingoes, the tender portions of peacocks, wild boar, blackbirds, oysters, deer, hares, and ingenious modes of p.stry. For a feast of Heliogabalus, in a single dish were the brains of 600 ostriches The Roman gourmands were fond of young and well-fed puppies. .Apicius left ten books of recipes.--New York Post.
