How they manage to get up so many different kinds of soups in the small res- taurants is puzzling. According to an investigation it is done thus : Here comes a waiter with an order for vegetable soup. The cook lifts the lid of a big boiler of clear soup, made by boiling bones and scraps of beef, mutton, chicken, veal, etc. Out of this boiler the cook dips a bowlful of clear soup, and into it he pops in quick succession a little from each pot of boiled vegetable he is saving for that day. There is your vegetable soup. Is it consomme? From a big pitcher he pours into the clear stock some brown thickening fluid. Is it macaroni? A pot of boiled macaroni is near at hand, and he forks a few strings into the bowl. Is it ox-tail? A big tin of condensed ox-tail soup stands on a handy shelf, and a spoon- ful lends its flavor to the stock. Is it chicken? He thrusts a pair of tongs into the boiler and brings up morsels from the depths until enough scraps of chicken are found to pass muster. Is it tomato? A squirt of weak but thick tomato catsup does the business. Is it rice? Some of the rice pudding is available. Roast lamb and roast mutton come from the same joint at its touch, and, by aid of an unctuous salad and some jelly, so will roast venison at a pinch. Roast rib or roast loin from the same piece of beef depends altogether on his carving. The veal is veal, or it is chicken for salad, or it is turkey for fricassee, or it is rabbit for stew, or it is lamb for pie, just as he desires. The plain old cod, too, if boiled, is turned into boiled halibut, or haddock, or bluefish, and it baked becomes baked halibut, or bluefish or haddock, at his simple touch. With the aid of a few biting sauces they become almost anything one can name in the way of fishâ€"Baltimore News.

On its first appearance in Europe it excited a considerable sensation, and in the last century very high prices were demanded for the trees which bore the wonderful fruit. None, however, now are brought here from Manila, the supply being derived almost entirely from Malta, where great pains Rand attention are be- stowed upon their cultivation. It was for along time supposed, and the idea is not yet quite extinct, that the blood oranges were produced by the grafting of the orange with pomegranate, but there is not the slightest foundation for this belief. 7 do") ighfi, no doubt.

JANET Cossm. A Young Sporting Man Leaves $80,000 to His Mother. Frederick Brown, a well-known sporting man, of Washington, who died in Saratoga on Sunday, made a will leaving his mother $80,000. This amount he has won from the bookmakers in the last year. At the last meeting of the Jockey Club in 1888 here he “ went broke,” saving from the wreck only a diamond ring, which he pawned for $40. Borrowing 010 he started with this capital and won $6,000 during the spring meeting. He followed the horses to Monmouth, Bheepshead and Saratoga and won right along. He deposited $17,000 of his winnings in a Saratoga bank. Brown was a young man of good habits and well 1iked.â€"â€"Capital. “BRIon'r's DISEASE has no symptoms of its own,” says Dr. Roberts, of the Uni- versity of New York City. Additional proof why Warner's Snfe Cure cures so many disorders which are only symptoms of kidney disease. The City of Berlin. Frederick the Great worked hard to beautify this town of his choice. but it can- not be said that, with all his efiorts and all the energy of recent years, it is a town which strikes a stranger familiar with London or Paris as one of grandeur or even of dignity. To begin with, there only exists one church of architectural interest vâ€"interest, because the beauty of the Kios- terkirche has been destroyed by additions made about the middle of the present cen- tury. As for the cathedral, that is a late, domed edifice, no larger than a decent parish church in this country. This poverty is unique. Look where you will over Europe and you will not find a single town of capital importance so void of that crowning ornament to a city, a fine ecclesias- tical building. The defect cannot be exag- gerated. Such buildings are the dur- able record of a city’s life; each weather-beaten stone has an interest no less human than scientific, no less romantic than artistic. We have our St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, the Parisians their Notre Dame. Vienna its St. Stephen’s, Rome its St. Peter's ; but there are no such sermons in stone to be read in Berlin, no building to be admired for its beauty or revered for its age. Conceive Paris without Notre Dame. The effect is nothing short of robbering French literature of Victor Hugo! Nor is Berlin much better off for secular buildings. None of them save an inconsiderable fragment of the old Schloss date earlier than the 17th century, and the bulk of the old Schlcse is a decay- ing plaster faced pile of that unfortunate period. The palaces of the late Emperor William and of the Emperor Frederick as crown prince were built, the former some 50 years ago, the latter 30, and, though both insignificant in size compared with Buckingham palace, may be admitted to compete with it in point of styleâ€"Mac- millan’s Magazine. “ How can you tell a. poor cigar without smoking it; Smith? ” “ By looking at the picture on the box, my friend.

The Gorgeous Dresses Worn by the Ladies at the Royal Wedding. WHAT THE QUEEN AND PRINCESS WORB The bride wore a dress of white satin,i with a train measuring some three yards‘ in length and untrimmed, save fora border- ing of satin folds. The front was com- pletely covered with the finest Brussels lace, and a chatelaine of orange-blossoms fell over the folds at one side. In her hair she wore a wreath of orange blossoms,under a veil of finest Brussels, the design of which matched that on her dress. In the front of her bodice she were one spray of orange blessom and a sprig of heather which the Earl of Fife had taken to her that morning at Marlborough House. Her ornaments were pearls and diamonds. A high collar finished the bodice at the back, but was open Vshape in front, showing a necklace consisting of one row of beautiful pearls under the folds of the bridal \cil. Her sleeves were of lace, unlined, through which the beauty of her arms could be dis- cerned. Her bouquet consisted of white moss roses and maidenhair fern. Her eight bridesmaids were in pink of the preâ€" cise shade of a moss rose, a reposoful and quiet tint. The materials of their dresses were silk and crepevde-chine. The bodices were V-shaped, both in front and. at the back. Sashes of pink moire ribbon were brought from under the right arm and tied at the back, where they fell to the very edge of the dresses. These were made with short trains. A small cluster of pink mossd'oses was fastened in each brides- maid’s hair, at the left side. They carried bouquets of pink mossvroses, wore pink stockings, and shoes with paste buckles. The bridesmaids were: The Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales, the Prin- cesses Victoria and Louise of Schleswig- Holstein, Princess Victoria Mary of Tech, and the Countesses Victoria, Feodore and Helena Gleichen. Her Majesty marked the occasion by in- troducing more white into her invariably sombre toilet than she has ever done before. The Queen's train and bodice were of the richest black brocade, opening on a front of a black silk grenadine, embroidered in a design of flowers in white silk. Her veil was of magnificent white lace, edged .w1th a deep hem embroidered with a thicker version of the design, and some white tulle was also used to trim the bodice. Looking exceedingly bright, happy and well pleased, the Princess of Wales wore a dress of gray satin, the color of the feathers of a dove‘s breast. The bodice and train were backed and brocaded with silver, the design being oxeyed daisies and marguerite foliage. The front of the skirt was draped with flatly sitting folds of grey tulle wrought with sil- ver in a closely-woven, most effective de- sign. The bodice was made with ahigh collar softly faced with silver-wrought tulle, which was carried in folds down either side of the open front, and caught with a series of diamond stars, getting gradually smaller towards the basque. Her Royal Highness wore a splen- did diamond tiara in three divisions, in the centre of each of which was one immense deep-colored sapphire, the largest in the front of the tiara, and those at each side of scarcely less proportion. A collar of dia- monds and three rows of loosely-hanging single stones with pendants completed her jewels. She carried a small bunch of dark red roses. The shoes were of Satin, match- ing the dress, with high Louis Quinze bows. Princess Christian wore a. dress of exceedingly handsome silver grey brocade, the design raised in satin from a silk sur- face, and the edges of each flower outlined with embroidery. The front of the dress was of satin, with flowers wrought with grey pearls and a faint tracery of silver. Chains of pearls were used to trim the front and stomacher, and Her Royal Highness wore many magnificent diamond ornaments. Princess Louise (Marchioness of Lorne) wore a gown of white brocade, the design outlined and mixed with silver and gold. The front was of silk, with silver and gold ornaments. In her hair were many diamond ornaments and a high white osprey aigrette, in which sparkled many brilliants. Princess Henry, of Batten- berg, wore a most effective dress of the prettiest and most becoming shade of heliotrope, the front of a paler hue, with diamond ornaments. The Princess Mary (Duchess of Teck), was gowned in bodice and train of brocaded velvet, the velvet design being raised in the deepest tint of mauve from a ground of satin many shades paler. The front of her dress was made of alternate stripes of pufled satin and of shimmering cut-steel and bronze fringe. The bodice was out square, and trimmed with China crepe of the pale mauve shade, caught with passementerie of cut steel and bronze. The Duchess wore in her hair two bands of single stone diamonds and several stars. She also wore a collar of brilliants, from which hung several pendants. The Princess Frederica of Hanover’s costume was of white silk strapped in a peculiarly effective way with bronze-green velvet. It was made with a high collar, beneath which two straps of velvet were brought to a point and fas- tened with a quaint device in brilliants. The elbow sleeves were also strapped with velvet, as was the front of the dress, each strap having a diamond ornament, for which it formed a most effective back- ground. The Marohioness of Salisbury worea dress of olive-green velvet, with a tablier of exquisite old point lace. The elbow sleeves were faced with lace and the open bodice bordered by folds of the palet blue and the palest pink satin, both softened by intervening frills of lace. Lady Salis- bury had no ornaments in her hair, which looked wonderfully picturesque, arranged in silvery simplicity. She carried a bouquet of pink roses. Maria, Marchioness of Ailesbury wore a perfectly-cut bodice and train of purple velvet. The sleeves were slashed anclthe front trimmed with silk of a curious shade of pink, which harmonized in a subtle sort of way with the concealed pink of the purple. The Marchioness wore few diamonds, but those of perfect shape and color. Madame de Falbe's jewels were wonderful, her necklace of large single stones being supplemented by collars and pendents not easily surpassed. Her dress was of white corded silk, the skirt turned back with broad revers of pale peach- blossom color overlaid with some unique Flemish point lace. Peach blossom rib- bons tied at one side of the waist fell care~ lessly to the hem, one or two being veiled with lace to match that on the revers. In her hair Madame de Falbe wore a peach- aigrette, with one large diamond and several smaller ones around it. Countess Spencer's dress was of cream- colorsd satin, richly embossed in a quaint way, giving it the semblance of thickly executed silk embroidery. The bodice was made with a high collar, the back of which was thickly embroidered with gold, the design being continued in points down the side seams below the shoulders. The front of the gown was a mass of gold embroidery. Lady Spencer wore a high tiara of diamonds and many magnificent diamond ornaments. Lady Randolph Churchill’s dress was of cream- , colored silk, with a full frill of yellow lisse ‘ crossing the front from the right shoulder to the left side of the skirt hem. Her one ornament was a diamond star, which was arranged most efleotively just in front of her head above the forehead, her hair being dressed low. The Duch- ess of Manchester wore a beautiful yellow silk trimmed softly with deep folds of chiffon. Her tiara was one of the most imposing worn, although closely rivalled by that of her daughter, Lady Gosford. The ladies in attendance on the Princess of Wales could not have arranged their 003- times to tone better with her lovely one of dove-grey and silver had they given the mother more thought than is probable at so occupied a. time. Miss Knollys’ dress was of robin’a egg-tinted satin, draped with silken gauzc the same shade. In the bodice were arrange a few pink and dark red carnationa with their own grey leaves, a bunch of which Miss Knollya carriefi. Her companion wore a. Prinoeas dress of dark biscuit color, brocaded with sprays of pink roses opening over a. front of pleated rosegpink silk. Miss Kuollya had diamond stars in her hair. Five hundred veterinary surgeons in Great Britain have signed a paper condem- ning overhead check reins as painful to horses and productive of disease.

A Moment of Horror for Monsieur Pey- nuud and 5,000 People. Monsieur Baptiste Peynaud. who dives from a tower at Rockaway Beach, L.l., said to be 150 feet high,into a bignot stretched below, broke through the net Friday after- noon. l’eynaud started to make the jump at 2 p.m., with the usual formal prepara- tions. More than 5,000 spectators were on the shore and in numerous boats. large and small. The net into which the dive or fall is made is about thirty feet long and filteen wide, and is made of good, stout cordagc. In the centre is a piece of heavy canvas about six feet square. When Peynaud dives he tries to land as near the centre of the canvas as he can. This ensures an equal strain on all parts of the net. The net is stretched eight feet above the shallow water at the shore. It was getting to be low tide at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon, and the water below the net was about eight inchrs deep. Psynaud mounted the tower as usual and when he got to the top, gave the same dramatic look about him. Alter bending over in the narrow opening in the platform at the top a minute or so, and looking in- tently at the net to gauge his jump, his body straightened itself and he shot down- wards like an arrow. When he had de- sccnded 50 or 60 feet the spectators could see that his body was slowly turning, so that he could land in the net on his back, with his head towards the tower. He fell on his back, but his aim had been bad, and his body struck half on the canvas andhalf on the netting. The cords in the netting parted with a snap. a prolonged rip was heard, and the people turned pale and closed their eyes to shut out a horrible scene. Peynaud rebounded in the air two or three feet, came down again feet first, and slid through the rent in the net. As he did so, however, he grasped the loose shreds of netting on each side, and slowly ilet himself down into the water, where he stood with a look of blank amazement on his pale face. He stared at the top of the tower, at the hole in the net, and then at his feet, and seemed to wonder what had happened to him. He quickly recovered himself, however, and made his customary graceful bow and wave of the hand. R. A. GUNN, M.D., Dean and Professor of Surgery, of the United States Medical Col- lege, editor of Medical Tribune, author of " Gunn's New and Improved Hand-book of Hygiene and Domestic Medicine,” speaking with reference to Warner's Safe Cure, said over his own signature: “ I prescribed it in full doses in both acute and chronic Bright’s disease, with the most satisfactory results. * * * I am willing to acknowledge and commend thusfrankly the value of Warner‘s Safe Cure.” If you are gradually losing your strength, have extreme pallor of face, puffiness under the eyes, persistent swelling of the joints, abdomen and legs, unaccount- able sharp pain in the heart, shortness of breath, begin taking Warner’s Safe Cure without delay. After the coffee has been boiled and settled pour it in good strength upon a cup halt filled with cream and hot milk. Most true coffee spicules have a beverage prepared with full strength that will give a delicious aroma and a true but delicate flavor to a cup of rich cream and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the average American drinks about the same amount of coffee now that he did eighteen years ago. In 1870 the average consumption for each person was 79; pounds ; in 1888 it was 7?; pounds,showing that the taste for coffee neither increases nor decreasesâ€"Boston Journal. Facts About Coffee. The pleasures of coffee are by no means dissipated in the warm season, when “ ho coffee is not needed as a means of defying the discomfort of cold weather. Cold coffee is a delicious beverage when well made. Coffee ice made of strong coffee frozen in a freezer and served in cups with whipped cream is a dainty desert, or a convenient part of the afternoon tea menu; coffee soda is a peculiar summer drink, and few people accustomed to the morning cup of coffee make any difference on account of the weather in this most important feature of the breakfast table. An expert in coffee maintains that the best coffee is made in the old-fashioned tin coffee-pot. “ Don't give me any new patent arrange- ment for making coffee,” he says, " the old tin pot is the only kind of cooking utensil that preserves the aroma and the full flavor of the coffee.” Weariness. A tramp knows what it is to be leg- weary. afarm laborer to be body-weary, a literary man to be brain-weary, and a sorrowing man to be soul-weary. The sick are often weary, even of life itself. Weariness is generally a physiological “ebb-tide,” which time and patience will convert into a “ flow.” It is never well to whip or spur a worn-out horse, except in the direst straits. If he mends his pace in obedience to the stimulus, every step is a drop drawn {ruin his lifeblood. Idleness is not one of the faults if the present age; weariness is one of its comnmnest experi- ences. The cheques that many a man draws on his physiological resources are innumerable; and, as these resources are strictly limited, like any other ordinary 'banking account, it is very easy to bring about a. balance on the wrong side. Ade- quate rest is one kind of repayment to the bank, sound sleep is another, regular eating and good digestion another. One day’s holiday in the week and one or two months in the year for those who work excep- tionally hard usually bring the credit balance to a highly favorable condition ; and thus with care and management physiological solvency is secured and main- tained. But a physiological fortune is as goods. thing, or even a better thing, than a money fortune. Stored resources, well invested, keep the mind easy and the body youthful. If, however, a man have not these, but only enough of strength to go on steadily from day to day, he should watch carefully against excessive weari- ness. A feeling of prostration is the dark thunder cloud that portends a change in the atmosphere. Health, like weather, may “ break,” and when once it is broken nobody knows when the barometer will mark ” set fair ” again. Weariness, com- ing on in the ordinary course of work, without any special and temporary cause, is nature’s demand for an immediate holiday. The horse is tired. He does not want the whip, but a month's run in a quiet and abundant pasture. As nothing in the world can properly satisfy hunger except food, so no drug or stimulant of any kind except rest can restore the weary to energy and health. The doctor’s tonic is a very good thing in its way, but it will no more act as a substitute for rest than a glow worn’s light will serve the same pur- pose as the moonâ€"Hospital. THE NET BREAKS. The Stormy Career- of the Woman Who is Now J udge Terry's Widow. Sarah Althea Hill, whose stormy career in California has given her national notoriety,was born in this old French town just icrtyriue years ago. She comes of good stock, her father being Samuel Hill, a prominent attorney, and her mother Julia Sloan, daughter of a wealthy lumber dealer. She had one brother, Hiram Morgan Hill, and her parents both died in 1854, leaving the two orphans an estate of $40,000. She is related to some of the best families in the country, among them the Wilkins, Sloms and Rodneys. The girl had good opportunities for acquiring an education. She attended school at Danville, Ky., and finally graduated from St. Vincent’s Con- vent in this town. She had a governess in the person of Miss Barrel, a sister of exâ€" Gongrcssman Hatcher. Her grandfather, Hiram Sloan, was her guardian, and he appears to have held a slack rein. The young ward developed a spirited temper, and soon after reaching legal ago made her money fly. She grew up to womanhood in much her own way, and was noted for her beauty and temper. Sarah was a girl of more than ordinary personal beauty. She was plump, of medium height and possessed a lovely complexion. She was fair, but not a pronounced blonds. She was scheming and ambitious to excel in personal charms. These traits made her unpopular among her girl companions. It was said of her, too, that though she was a spendthrift in some things, she worshipped money and gave her attention mostly to those who possessed it. She is remembered by her friends here as something of a flirt, and at one time she is said to have had three engagements to marry on her hands. The hero of one of these engagements, Mr. Leanders, is a prominent politician resid- ing in Southeast Missouri, and another re- sides in St. Louis. Her conquests in that section of the State were numerous during the time she held sway. She was fast, but her name was never tarnished with scandal. In love affairs Miss Hill was tyrannical, and more than one of her lovers had to suffer under her iron rule and eccentric whims. To show how cruel she was to her lovers the case of the one she really loved will suffice. He was then a young man, but is now a Missouri politician of national fame. They were engaged to be married and one night attended a hop. Sarah Althea became angry at her escort, and when the ballroom was entered she went upstairs and never came back until time to return home. The young man was angry and determined to break the engagement. Sarah Althea heard of it, summoned him into her bewitching presence, and the old infatuation returned so strong that he determined to swallow the insults, but Sarah had heard that he had told his friends that he intended to break the engagement. She determined on revenge. She never looked lovelier than on the night her luckless lover answered her call. He was powerless before her and pressed his suit with more energy than ever. She said nothing until he was ready to leave, and as he stopped for a good-night kiss on the threshold she turned her head and, with her eyes blazing, said : “ Mr.â€"~â€"~, you can go. We will cry quits. Idon’t want to see you again.” The young man almost fell down the steps and never saw her afterwards. Now the story goes that Sarah Althea was really in love with this young man and expected to win him back. In this she failed, and in September, 1870, dis- gusted and broken-hearted and with only the wreck of her fortune, she started for California. A young uncle, named W. Sloan, accompanied her to the Pacific coast. He was wealthy and took his handsome niece to his mother’s home. Sarah and the old lady did not live in harmony, and Mr. Sloan gave his iece a fine suite of rooms in a prominent ’ an Francisco hotel. It was there she met Senator Sharon. Her brother, Hiram Hill, was a reckless youth, and followecuher to California, where he married a wealthy woman of Spanish blood. Sarah Althea has never returned to the home of her ohildhood.â€"~Cape Girardeau (1110.) Special to Philadelphia Press. Steve Brodie has fully decided to attempt what no man has done and livedâ€"float over the American Falls at Niagara. He will leave New York for Niagara to-day and de- vote some time to making himself familiar with the dangers he must encounter. The falls are 166 feet high. The compensation for the terrible risk Brodie will take in ad- dition to the fame to be won by the under- taking is a purse of $1,500, contributed by hotelmen and railway men. Baker Brothers, of Candler, Georgia, have invented a novel way of catching owls or night hawks. They have set up a long pole near the fowl house. The pole is about sixteen feet high with the top end sawed off smooth and a little steel trap is set on top of the post, fastened by a string to the post below. Notches are out in the post by which it is easy to climb. On a moonlight night the owls when they are around are likely to light on something near the fowl house. The other night an owl was heard not far off and, thinking that he would be likely to come for a chicken during the night, the brothers went out after supper and set the trap on top of the pole. Before they went to bed the family heard a flutter- ing in that direction and, going 0111:, found that they had trapped an owl that measured four feet five inches from tip to tip. With smokeless and noiseless powder, such as it is claimed has been invented in England, in the wars that are to be death will take on still more terrors. The first notice of the presence of an enemy will be in the sudden sinking down of men as though smitten by a pestilence. The sentry will die at his post and give no sign. The sun will shine down serenely while the battle rages, and no canopy will obscure the butohery. Battles will be silent executions, save when trumpets sound and furious men shout or wounded men moan. There will be nothing to kindle the battle ecstacy ; no booming of hotly worked guns will give notice where the battle is sorest. With the battle olamors and the battle canopy driven away, it will require. more nerve to be a valiant soldier than ever before. The soldier will not only have to face the dan- ger in sight, but also to contend with the terrors that his imagination will paint him. â€"Salt Lake Tribune. “Well, you see, I used to work for a butcher, 511’ he wouldn’t let me take fitsâ€"- said it interfered with businessâ€"an' I thought you might feel the same way about it."

I’m stopping with relations on the west side, between the river and the Park, and maybe that’s made it somewhat cooler, but, as far as I can see, almost any part of New York is cooler then up in the State, Where I live, especially at night. “ Then there’s another thing about New York that would surprise country folks who think the city in summer is just one step this side of the bad place; that’s the trees. I remember reading 1n the story books about the poor city children that never saw green grass or trees from year’s end to year's end, and didn’t even know that flowers grew anywhere except in shop windows. Well, I’ve been around New York pretty considerable, and it kind 0’ strikes me that it would be sll~fired hard work to bring up a. child in the city and keep it from seeing trees and grass every- where it went, and flowers, too.

His a canal sixteen miles long between Worsley and St. Helens, in the North of England, and is underground from end to end. In Lancashire the coal mines are very extensive, half the country being undermined, and many years ago the Duke of Bridgewater’s managers thought they could save money by transporting the coal underground instead of on the surface. So the canal was constructed, the mines connected and drained at the same time. Ordinary canal boats are used. but the power is furnished by men. On the roof of the tunnel arch are cross pieces, and the men who do the work of propulsion lie on their backs on the coal and push with their feet against the cross-bars on the roof. Six or eight men will draw a train of four or five boats, and as there are two divisions in the tunnel boats pass each other without difii- culty.â€"St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ’1 he countryman was a little enthusiastic, perhaps, but there was a deal of truth in what he said. New Yorkers are so used to it that they never stop to think about it, but to a man coming here with precon» ceived ideas of the desert nature and terrible heat of city streets, the amount of shade and greenness about the city is surprising. It is hard for a person in New York to find a position upon any street corner from which trees, vines, or green grass are mt in sight in one direction or the other. Of course. above Fifty-ninth street there is Central Park always in sight from any cor- ner up to and beyond 110th street on either side of the city. Besides this, there is Riverside Park, from Seventy-second to 125th, Morningside Park, Mt. Morris Park, and other green breathing places below the Harlem, while the beautiful Boulevard, with its park strip in the centre and its four rows of lusty young elms, even now begin- ning to form a double arch over the street, West End avenue, with rows of young trees doing well on either side, Eighty-sixth street, with its little grassy squares and trees in front of every house, and other shorter stretches of treershadowed streets make it certain that even when this part of the city shall be closely built up there will be no lack of greenness and shade. The Care of the Finger Nalls. The half-moon. which is esteemed so greatabeauty. if carefully attended to, will increase in time, and even when it has been almost obliterated will grow to be very beautiful, saysMcdical Classics. Many people think that pushing the skin back from the nail will show it more, and that by this practice the delicate hem, as we call it, which holds the upper and under skins together, is totally destroyed, and the ends of the fingers have an ugly yellow growth encircling the nail instead of the delicate framework which nature intended. Then the way in which the nail is out can totally change the shape of the finger. By cutting the nails close at the sides and keepingthe corners from adhering to the skin,hang-nails can be avoided. Where the nails are thin and inclined to break, frequent oiling is necessary, and the nails should never be polished except when some oily substance is used beside the powder. This keeps the nails more pliable, and no matter how thin they are, if properly treated they are no more liable to break than thicker ones. Another thing that is bad for the nails is polishing them too roughly. They should be lightly touched and not rubbed until they become heated. This is one cause of white spots coming on the nail and hurting its beauty. Below Fifty-ninth street there are nearly a dozen small parks, with more to come, but the singular thing, when noticed for the first time, is the frequency of trees along the built-up streets. It probably won’t be believed at first thought, but it is a fact, easily verified by personal inspection, that from Fifty-ninth street to Grand street the Sixth avenue elevated railroad does not cross a single street on which trees are not visible to a passenger. In a few instances there Will be only one or two sorubby little trees struggling for existence upon the curb; more frequently the trees are numerous enough and vigorous enough to arch the street. On Fifty-third street they are so near the tracks that passengers can almost reach out and touch them as the train rushes by. Besides the trees along the curbs, there are frequent glimpses of green from the centre of blocks, and sometimes trees tall enough to Wave above four-story houses can be seen, showing that in back yards there is abundant greenness for private enjoyment. There are fewer trees in proportion to population on the east than on the west side of the city, but even on the east side they grow at frequent intervals, and thrive in the most closely built districts. There will be more of them, too, when the new small parks are madeâ€"New York Sun. Below Grand street the rule ceases to hold good that a passenger on the elevated can see trees on every street crossed, but it is largely because the streets are so crooked that often not over a block or two is in sight in any direction from the train. In the dry goods district trees are few, but to- ward the river, Wherever people live, there is generally at least one tree in sight from every corner, and from Chambers street, where the City Hall Park comes into eight, down past St. Paul‘s and Trinity, Bowling Green and the Battery, there is always something green upon which to rest the eye. There are also thousands of windows where boxes filled with flowering plants and vines are kept, and often there are glimpses of sunflowers and other hardy plums blooming in yards or in boxes upon roofs. Pleasantest of all are the vines that of late years have been freely planted in front of houses on residence streets. These have grown so thrifoily that in hundreds of instances they reach a dense mass of vivid green from the sidewalk to the roof, some. times spreading out so as to cover almost the whole front of the house. Two or three such vines illuminate beautifully a block of dull brown stone fronts. GREENNESS IN NEW YORK. The Past and Present Culture of this Fruit â€"-Its Classifications. Downing separates the cherry into two classesâ€"first, thc Bigarreaus and Hearts, and second, the Dukes and Morellos. These amount almost or quite to distinct species. The Hearts and Bigarreaus, being strong and vigorous growing trees, are somewhat tender in many sections of country, especially in the level, fertile west, and are therefore not so generally cultivated, though as a rule the fruit is of fine quality. According to Dr. Warder, the Hearts and Bigarreaus are not entirely reliable except on soils where the American chestnut is an indigenous growth, or at least success- ful when introduced. The Dukes and Morellos are more hardy and fruitful, this class embracing varieties like the Kentish, which are quite universally popular. Although in some sections a profitable fruit, the cherry has scarcely held its own in point of popularity along with other classes of fruits during the last quarter of a century. This is perhaps partly due to the overshadowing popularity of the strawberry and other small fruits coming into competition with it, by reason of their ripening at or near the same season. In some particulars, however, especially , for culinary purposes, the cherry is not likely to be entirely superseded by any of its best of rivals. The late Dr. Kirtland, 1 of Cleveland, 0., made the improvement of the cherry, which succeeds admirably in i that section, the specialty of his life work. i In this way he gave to the world a number i of valuable varieties. More recently new introductions are being made from abroad, through the energy and perseverance of Professor Budd and others, with encour- aging prospects. We may hope from this source to obtain varieties directly and in- directly which will prove more hardy and valuable,especially northof the present limit of cherry culture, as intimated above, very little, if any, effort has yet been put forth in the improvement of our native species, of which Professor Gray mentions at least four. The arts of horticulture, aided by the hand of time, may yet subjugate to the uses of man some or all of these now un- tamed species. The cherry succeeds well on dry soils. In orchards, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with four or five feet of clear trunk are to be preferred. For door yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of the free growing sorls are the most suitable. For fruit gardens of limited extent, and in localities where the bark of the trunk is liable to burst, the dwarfs or low stand- ards are most appropriate and profitable.

Edward Brown, of the Ameri- can navy, was a Philadelphian and married a French woman on the Island of Mauri~ tius named Sequard. He and his descend- ants took the name Brown-Sequard. The distinguished scientist, whose elixir of youth is making a sensation, was their eldest child. He was educated in France, but was afterwards a professor at Harvard and practiced medicine in New York for some years subsequent to 1873. He mar- ried twice, his first wife being Miss Fletcher, of Boston, a relative of Daniel Webster. A John L. Sullivan Cure. For “ Black Eye," according to the N. Y. Medical Times, there is nothing to compare with the tincture or a strong in- fusion of capsicum annuum mixed with an equal bulk of muoilage of gum arsbio and with the addition of a. few drops of glycerine. This should be painted all over the bruised surface with a camel’s hair pencil and allowed to dry on, a second or third costing being applied as soon as the first is dry. If done as soon as the injury is inflicted, this treatment will invariably prevent the blackening of the bruised tissue. The same remedy has no equal in rheumatic. sore or stiff neck.

Some people are afraid to eat fruit, thinking that fruit and diarrhoaa are always associated, when, if they under- stand the true cause of diarrhoea. they would know that it was caused by eating meat. 'In hot weather meat putrefies very quickly, and during this process alkaloids are formed which are very poisonous, act- ing as emetics and purgatives It is true that fruit eaten green or between meals will interfere with digestion and cause bowel troubles; but use fruit that is perfectly ripe at meal-time, and only bene- ficial results will follow. Acids prevent calcareous degenerations, keeping the bones elastic, as well as preventing the accumu- lation of earthly matters. Fruit is a perfect food when fully ripe, and if it were in daily use from youth to age there would be less gout, gall-stones and stone in the bladder. Lady Roberts’ officers’ hospital in India is progressing very favorably. It was opened on the 15th April, 1888, and from that time until the end of the season it was fully occupied, as it has been since it was opened this year. The house at Murree was originally bought for a “ home in the bills” for the lady nurses of the Punjab circle, who required change and rest. For- tunately, it is large enough to admit of its being used in part as an oflicers’ hospital ; four rooms have been set aside for this purpose, and are most thoroughly appre- ciated. At Kasauli a “home” has been built for the lady nurses of the Sirhind circle, but as nurses have not yet been pro- vided, and it is not therefore required for this purpose, it has been prepared for the reception of sick ofiicers, and is under the charge of a qualified lady nurse, Miss James. The proposed increase in the num- ber of nurses has been postponed by the India Office authorities for a. time, a xery short time only, it is to be hoped. Mean- while Lady Roberts trusts to be able to supplement the Government nurses by employing two or three more qualified nurses at stations where they are much needed- Lady Roberts has been appealed to “onfimnfiy *5 send nurses for work in hospitfflfl, and to take care of sick ofl‘ioers, and also to open hospitals in other hill stations, but want of funds prevents any- thing more being done at present.

' One of the difficulties which have stood in the way of the substitution of paper pulp for wood in the manufacture of pencils has been the toughness of the paper covering, and its consequent resistance to the action of a knife. By a new process, which has recently been patented, the molecular cohesion of the paper is modified in such a manner that it can be cut as easily as cedar wood. The paper is first of all made into tubes and a number of them are placed in a frame at the lower end of a cylinder. The substance which is to be used as a marking material is placed in the cylinder while in a plastic condition, and suflfioient pressure is then applied to force it into the hollow centres of the paper tubes. After the completion of the process the pencils are gradually dried at increasing tern! peratures during a period of six days, and they are then plunged into a vessel of molten paraffin wax, which has the effect of modifying the texture of paper pulp as deseribed.â€"-Manufactures and Industries. £1. with us.

The methodical man is never in a hurry. He moves along in his orbit. as Goethe says the stars do, “ without haste and without rest.” He knows What is first to be done, what next, and how long each item to be attended to will require. He sees in an exigency what can be omitted or deferred, and what must be done according to the programme he has made. If he is due at a certain train he is there on time with five or ten minutes to spare.
