MANNERS OF THE ARISTOCRACY.

a n d S o m e t i m e s I n s o l e n t t o O t h e r s .

The high English almost'always possess complete ease of manner, but almost never complete elegance, and both pecul­iarities are attributable to their rank. As a rule, they? are remarkable for repose or bearing. There is little pushing when the aristocrats are by themselves, though plenty of it among those who wish to associate with them. To the aristocrats their rights are conceded without a con­test. This naturally makes them calm, assured, serene.

But it also makes them indifferent, and sometimes insolent, toward the rest of the world. If they are well bred, so much the better; but if not, they stand quite as secure. The pedestal is. just as high, no matter what figure is placed on it. A duke a be a boor or a clown, a duchess may be illiterate or drunken or immoral, and there have been instances of all this within the last twenty years, but thep are dukes and duchesses all the same. Their precedence is not disturbed, •their notice is still an honor, their society i s c o u r t e d , t h e i r a l l i a n c e i s s o u g h t , i f n o t

discover the deficiency. I once heard a countess account for the

manner of one of the court ladies, which was indeed exceptionally soft and charm­ing: "I suppose," she said, "it proceeds from her being always with, a superior, always obliged to defer to another." This is the key to the feeling of the aristocracy. They have no need, they think, to defer, with equals or inferiors, They" can gratify their moods or their whims, be amiable, or disagreeable, or indifferent, as they please. Toward those above them they are deferential in the extreme; • servile it seems to an American,and certainly obsequious. With those whom they like they can be affable as any people in the world, and their affability is the more agreeable because what is not common is always more highly prized. Like everybody else, they can be civil enough when it is their interest to be so. But when none of these reasons exists—interest, or preference, or necessity—they are often cold, super­cilious and arrogant to a degree unknoivn in what is called good company else­where.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

In its integrity the art of Japan is hon­est, wholesome, characterized by a child­like fondness for color and oddity of form, decorative in the highest degree, yet without strain or affectation. A Japanese artist knows little about per­spective, but he knows foreground na­ture so well that even lus convention­alized objects are not too far removed from their model for recognition. His

"vines have spring and coil; his flowers have bloom and freshness; his fish and birds and quadrupeds have motion; his clouds fly and his rivers roll. Technical facility, together with power of adap­tation, selection and conventionalization are possessed by him in a remarkable de­gree; indeed, no European artist or dec­orators have the readiness of invention and application that; these Orientals have. i

The Japanese who; paints for a few pence a day will dash upon a fan or umbrella a bit of color, a hint of land­scape maybe, or a swinging bough of cherry blossoms, and the work will Occupyhim two minutes. When he has finished he has painted something that fits his object better than the minute and labored work of a French idealis or English follower of s patterns. This facility is in large measure hereditary; for the half civilized, people, as o-ir school geographies used to call tlle.a,' were civilized, m the arts when Europeans north of the Alps had not got into the habit of wearing shirts.—• Brooklyn Eagle.

For twenty-three years I have been watching the peculiarities of my busi­ness, and I can say this: The rich are more liable to die in winter, during some

'cold snaps, and the poor in summer, when the excessive heats are prevalent. I don't know how to account for it ex­cept that, perhaps, the rich suffer most because of exposure to the cold after coming from? their warm houses, and the poor die in the very hot weather because of the exhaustion resulting from the necessity of following their arduous oc­cupations when. other people can rest in "the shade.—J. Kelly, Undertaker.

A writer in The Russkaia Meditz says that he has had great success in the cure of over 300 cases of acute and chronic catarrh, or cold in the head, by the use of ice-cold water. The legs from the knee downward ^are washed with.it in the morning and at night and rubbed vigorously with a coarse towel. I t is necessary to do this for two days only, and many patients are said to have been cured in one day.-^-Chicago Tribune.

I t was a strange sight which the re­porter encountered the other day in a large loft, up three flights of stairs, iv. one of our tall business structures. Be­fore the eye became accustomed to the semi-darkness which prevailed in the wide space it looked as if hundreds of people had committed suicide' by hang­ing there. Long racks ran from one wall to the other, and suspended from stoiit pegs hung what appeared as limp human figures. The windows on botli front and rear of the loft were open, and, as the chill air coursed through the large room, the limp figures swayed to and fro with p. mysterious noise which sounded like suppressed whispers from another world.

Tin- ago<l lady who had *$)><\>ir-rrMl tho scribe up-stairs had left hiii -alone mo­mentarily to fetch a matchfor the pur­pose of lighting the gas, ani in the" un­certain light of the room the swaying shapes looked indeed like dangling corpses. Occasionally there would be a faint glitter among the silent crowd as if some gold or silver ornament had been struck by a ray of. light, and then all would be indistinct again. Or some ghastly face, with large, lifeless eyes would be turned to the light which came sparsely through the small openings in the closed blinds, revealing the most hideous features imaginable, . The old lady, came slowly up-stairs, coughing fitfully as she ascendod, and after she had lighted the gas jets the scene changed as if by magic. Then the limp figures. were seen to be so many bright costumes, of all ages and all im­aginable styles. There was the bright arfnov of a knight of old hanging peace­fully next to that of a Turk. Scores of habits of Italians and Spanish capitanos were mixed with the quaint costumes of Chinese and Japanese grandees, and in­numerable habiliments of thg, hifitoritk. F u 1c i 111-1 l a , " 5 c T t T a ^ « e e i ^ » ^ J S ( m i r W S ^ ^

hella, Tartaglia, Dr. G-raziano and the Venetian merchant were seen suspended from the peg3. Below each costume were the boots, shoes, suppers, sandals or other "chassure" pertaining to the "char­acter, and on top of the peg were the turbans, felt hats, helmets or other head­gear appropriate to the' outfit, while each costume had attached to it a mask. There were frightfully distorted fea'tures, bearded masks, 'idiotic faces, half-masks, masks of paper, wax tarlatan, silk and almost any conceivable texture. There were the costumes of clowns of all sizes in plain material, and the velvet and satin costumes of Spanish grandees, richly ornamented with gold and silver passementerie—and there was a collec­tion of all kinds of arms—the ancient halberd, the mediaeval arquebuseand the elegant rapier of the renaissance.

The great majority forming the middle and poorer classes makes up.the best-paying custom for the costumier, who has a sliding scale of prices for his "characters." A queen of the night or a countess of the middle ages is the preference of Bridget, of the .baserctent

• ;lr>iv,t,o« .ftl»«. -mOT-,pl ' "^^" .wSr^5^Efer ' '*^y ; otheT-efrarocfer^at^tnC" and she willingly pays from $3 to $5 for. the use of the costume. Salesladies of a,-romantic turn of mind and blameless, anatomy swear by the betwitching cos­tume of the mediaeval page with a' wonderful wig of "impertinent" blonde hair. Shop girls who have spent some, of their few leisure hours in devouring dime novels affect the gypsy maids and shepherdesses, which can be had at from 50 cents to §1 per night.

The sterner sex manifests the most paradoxical preferences. One would think, for instance, that a barber would delight in representing the lather-pro­ducing Figaro, as. Mozart,, and Rossini have sq wonderfully depicted, "but with him it must be a full-fledged knight in armor bright, and the Ingersollian "winged word" at the helmet. Pale-faced clerks, Mjjao go home in batches after dark because they are afraid of sand-baggers, make excellent Italian banditti, with formidable sugar-loaf hats and lean calves, and the hard-worked journeyman must, make a count in silk attire, at least, should therofees of royalty in the costumer's stock haveigivenout.— Chicago Herald. - - -

One of the leading dry goods salesmen of the United States, tells me-that there are now about 80,000 traveling salesmen on the road in this country, and that their expense accounts alone will aver­age £1,500 a yearreach. This for expenses alone means an outlay of $120,000,000 a year and if you will count in an average salary of f 1,000 a year each it will swell the total to ?200,000,000 a year. This immense sum is scattered all over the United States. •' It keeps up the hotels, and is one of tho most important items of railroad passenger receipts. The character of the traveling salesman has changed within a decade past. You w i l l l i n d v e r y f«--.v boy . s a n d f e w e r

drunkards upon tho road. The competi­tion is so great and the expense so heavy that firms havo to. send out their best men, and salaries of $3,000 and $5,000 a year are by no means uncommon.

Said this salesman: "These traveling men sell all sorts of goods. Some of them carry a half dozen heavy trunks, and others carry their samples |n their overcoat pockets. One man I know gets $3,000 a year for selling the skins which butchers put around sausages.- He dresses like a Broadway swell aridcarries his samples in a bag no larger than a lady's shopping sachel, The best of such skins arc made in Europe, and butchers buy of him everywhere. Then there is a man I know who travels from Boston to San Francisco and sells nothing but ope grade of boot blacking. Some travelers sell by pictures of the articles they have to sell. Clothing forms the largest class' of drummers, and next come those who sell boots and shoes. Then we have the dry goods salesmen, the grocer, the hard­ware men, hats and caps, and others as numerous as there are trades and fac­tories." 'L "Traveling men," thi.s gentleman con­tinued, "are, as a rule, bright, generous fellows. They spend : freely,- and many of them, when they become old and leavo the road, find themselves poor. "We have now a project to take care of dis­abled traveling men. It is a ' traveling men's home, to be endowed by traveling men and to be devoted to their use. The idea is that each one of the 80,000 travel­ers is to give $1 a year for the next three years to such an institution, This will make a total of $240,000, and from this we will buy a farm in Kentucky, or some other good locality, and erect comfortable buildings, with reading-rooms, parlors, and chambers, so that the occupants cari have all the comforts of life during their declining years. We will further endow the home by a year OJJ two more of com tributions, and the institution will be under the care of a competent board of managers. This project is, I understand, to be submitted to the next annual meet­ing of merchant travelers. It has,; many supporters among traveling salesmen, and I will not be surprised if it is carried out /W'Garp" in Cleveland Leader^.

HUNDREDS OF BOYS RUINED

One of OUT chief city industries is the district telegraph service, employing thousands of boys. Has it evtSrr oc­curred to you what the future of those little chaps must be? Taken at a tender age from school they are huddled to­gether like sheep in a pen, compelled ,to wear a uniform which may bo over warm or under warm, sent "out in all manner of weather, compelled to visit the low as well as the high places of earth, introduced in their impression­able years to society of the very ex­istence of which tlrey ought nover to know. ; ' They arc summoned at all hours of the day and night to brothels as well as to churches, and gambling houses as well as counting-rooms, and scenes of debauchery as well as symposia of pleasure. They, are asked to take drunken men to saddened homes as well as to lead little children to school. Snow to their knees is,as familiar to them as the bright sunshine of an October morning. Through drenching show­ers they are supposed to hurry as well-as along the attractive surface of a crowded highway on a pleasant shop­ping afternoon. \ '.

They are underpaid, they are over-fined, their wits are sharpened by con­stant endeavor to add something to

, they rneager pittanoe, they look ,for fees, they serve quickly and adroitly the whim and "caprice' of a dissolute; woman in the hope of extra compensation, and they shirk honest labordode; for reputable people wsho pay accorditig'to.; t i e indications ;of the tai-lff book and all for what? Are they learning anything except tricks and devices? Do they extend their obser­vation in any field "save that of humtm natnre.'

As they go along the highway of life, their staturo increasing and their years piling up, they want more money', but the company can supply tho places of what are now young men by another inriux of baby boys. And so the work goes on year; after year hundreds of these little fellows are" ruined in physique, undermined in their morals, made dirty, thieving rascals and then thrown broadcast upon the earth, with no trade, with no fixed habits of . industry, with nothing under heavep between them and starv­ation but over-acute wits and' a disposition to take advantage of the world, and with a past whose memory is anything but fragrant.

A small vessel for service in the Adriatic is now being con­structed by a Prague engineer, the speed of which will, it is 'alleged, equal that of a fast railway train. This result is ex­pected f rom an improved screw and a novel method of construction. Great in­terest is manifested in the experiment.— Exchange. ;

"Why do the boys leave the farm?" walls a writer hi an agricultural journal. Well, dear brother, there are several reasons. One is because the boy is riot 65 years old at his birth. Then, is there is a hoe on the farm weighing fourteen ounces, bright as nickle plate and sharp as a rasor, and another hoe weighing

• somewhat less than a breaking plow, with an edge on it like a hammer and a sapling with the bark on for a handle,

^the hired man takes one and the boy 'gets the other, and every man in America -knows which is the other.

Did you ever stand with such a hoe in your hand away down in a corn row on some airless still, hot' summer' day, twenty acres of corn blades and tassels wilting about you, standing fourteen inches higher than your head, shutting out every last trace of breathable air, and then hear a locust down in the edge of the timber strike up his long strident, monotonous call to make it ten times hotter? And all this time a •cool creek, n o t a m i l e a w a y , l o i t e r i n g ijl'TSyS^v s i l e n t

pools in shady places in the woods, or breaking into merry dancing ripples over'-the pebbles? And in the big deep holes, the. fish just lying-around, lonesome for a boy? .Well, then„you know why some boys leave the farm.—Burdett in Brookln Eagle.

The popu­larity of the gum-chJDwing habit is due to the fallacy that some health journal pro­mulgated awhile agb that as gum-chew ing preservesvthe tepth and develops the gums it should- be encouraged.

The fact is that gum-chewing stimu­lates the salivary glands to a degree that is draining and exhaustive, and when the increased secretfiona of these glands are swallowed it has an injurious effect upon the stomach by increasing the di­gestion without a i pabulum upon which to act save the stomach itself. It, at the same time, excites the glands of the stomach, the liver, the pancreas—in fact tho entire glandular system connected with alimentation; it wastes the pro­ducts of these j glands, or diverts them .from theiri proper use, and by

1 so doing injures the system. So you see gum-chewing is not only a ridiculous and a vulgar habit, but is hurtful to h e a l t h a n d s h o u l d ' b o s t o p p e d , — ? D r . W .

The women hajve always said that for neglecting to take up their share of so-;iety's burdens the bachelors,; as a rule, got their full punishment even in jthta world. But the| single-blessedness fel­lows have shrugged their shoulders and concluded that j they could stand it; women were creatures of impulse and their prejudices ^vere apt to be all wrong. But it is said thajt figures do not lie, and even these appjear to be against the bachelor.

An esteemed London contemporary has just published statistics showing that of a given 400,000 bachelors between 20 and 25 there are j annually about 1,200 deaths, whereat out'of 100,000 married men of similarj age the annual deaths are only about 600. Again, between the ages of 30 and SJ5, 1,500 bachelors die and only 900 married men t<i the 100,000. So, if self-preservatiiOn is the first law of na­ture, the bachelors had better proceed to majfe hay vyhiljo the sun shines.

There is, too,' in these statistics a beau^ tiful, if undeserved, compMment to the angej ministries of married women. It is to be feared that thousands of married l l ' men go along throtigh their lives only half knowing or admitting that their wives are keeping them out of untimely graves at the rjate of- 500 to 1,200. And with'these figures to go on at this dawn­ing of a new year, there; is no telling how many bachelors and married men, too, may be happier by the 1st of January, 1887.—PhiladelphiaTimes.

The time was when the River Oxua poured its waters into thevCaspia,n soa, jind the country through which it ran was among the garden spots of the v. orld, but one of the r great Tartar conquerers for strategic reasons arti­ficially changed the bed of the river i so that its fertilizing waters were diverted into the Sea. oi Aral. The change proved an unmixed curse to the region from which tho"Oxus was out off. In­stead of a fruitfnl garden it became a desolate wilder«ess. I t is now proposed

store the clesert to its pristine fertility and productiveness, As an engineering feat this is quite practicable, but the Russian engineers fear that the waters of the Oxus may lie lost in the sandy wastes before it reaches the shores of the great sea.

Another enterprise is intended to make use of the river Tejend.which empties into tho Lake Junghul as. a means of fertilizing another vast tract of the desert of - central Asia. In the olden time tliis country was full, of reservoirs of water which irrigated the land far and wide. For over 1,000 years-they have been allowed to go into decay," and in regions, where tens of thousands of people lived- in comfort it does not to­day afford subsistence but for a few wandering nomads. Should these two improvements be made—that is, should the Oxus be restored to its old channel and the reservoirs fed by the river, Tejend and Lake Junghul be recon­structed, the whole country between the Caspian sea and Afghanistan will be wrested and be a desert no more. How­ever the nations of Europe may dread and belie'Russia, Americans at least can give that power the credit for what it is doing in partially civilizing the nomad tribes of central Asia and in reclaiming such vast areas of desert for human uses.—-Demorest's Monthly.

The great pulsing heart of humanity ever longs; for new ways to spend money. It is only when he is spending money in a way that can not possibly do any good that man in his corporate capacity is entirely happy. Thousands of lives have been lost, and tens of mil­lions of dollars spent, in the vain at­tempt to find the north pole. The finder wouldn't have known what to do with it if he had got it; but that makes no difference with the tremulous anxiety concerning it which iuns from age to age. Now an expedition is be­ing organized to goto Egypt and verify, or at least test, Smith's measurements of the monument of Cheops, especially at that inner chamber whose miracu­lous proportions are said to prove that the ancient* knew everything which men ' know to-day—except, perhaps, how to talk to a telephone when it won't work. > ..' j .:

What great benefit is to be derived from the expedition does not appear. Who cares whether Smith was correct or mistaken? Who cares whether the the first of the Pharoahs knew just ex­actly how mUch the earth measured around its waistband, or how much it wobbled on its axis? However, $500,000 burns in somebody's pocket, and it must be spent. Afterwards let some enter­prising ? tramp organize an expedi­tion to measure the depth of the great crater of Manua Loa. Nobody knows at present, and Manua Loa offers a fair target for the lunatic explorer. If some­body vpould climb down on a rope, he might add to the sum of terrestrial in-t formation, and get elected an honorary member of those geographical societies which are now bending all their ener­gies to the collection of useless knowl­edge.—Frank Leslie's Illustrated.

j ' The judge and jury were quietly doz­ing in one of tho New York;court-rooms

I the other day, while counsel was trying j to prove by long lists of figures and ia-eomprehensiule accounts that hia cilent was one of the salt of the earth. The attendance was small «'n one of the back seats was a white- haired old man with a smooth-shaven'face, who* seemed to watch the proceedings with more interest than any of the other spectators. He leaned forward in his se.it witli his hands folded o er tho head ot sir, old-fashioned walk rt^ stick,, and shook his lie id mojrn:'ul!v from time to timj a i u to exor.-i, a sort of indulgent pi#y lor the counsel, the ccjur-t and the jury. At Ia>t his feelings seemed to demand relief in speech and he l egan to unbosom him­self to his neighbor.'.'-.' i "Well, tyeli, well," sai l he, dropping

the pitch of the voice as he prenouncea each successive exclamation, i s that the kind of lawyers you have nowadays? Why, folks wotild rather go to meeting than come.to hear a man talk like that. An auctioneer.makes a Setter -speecu than his'n, " nodding toward the lawy. r wbq was struggling with the figures, "when he wants to make you believe that a spavined horse is sound as a tiut. What's the good of your eolleges and your law schools if you re going to turn out such wheezing little. men keys as that fellow.' Why. sir, I ain t been" in­side a court of law these forty yearn but when I was a young fellow 1 used to follow all the cases and I used to be able to make a better speech than any of the lawyers 1 hear now.

"Ah: I tell yoa in my day it was dif­ferent. A lawyer tha t was going to argue a ease would get ap and look all around the court room, and then he d

how hed best begin. At la-t he d get his inspiration, as they used to s*y; and he'd ruh his fingers through his hair to help along bis ideas Jikjt*; Then, 'oen-tlemenjof the jury,1 says he, very im­pressive and in a" low .voice. But he"d soon get well under way, and gi „e yoa a regular rattler. Thereid be a de.u of pathos, and sometimg| bis v i e would sort of fail him, and then lieu l -i.e.out his handkerchief and blow h i s m w vary loud to get control o* his feeling. Iherj he'd get very mad, and you d iui-e sup­posed that he was going to w.-uk right in and-fight tho jury and udge to boot. Thero'd be gestures and similes and Latin quotations a yard or more long. Latin quotations always had a great convincing power, and a man was sure to win his case if hie had enough of them. Well, w^th all this eloquence he'd finally get the judge and the jury so mixed that they wouldn't know which side of the question he was speaking for, and the more he mixed them up the better law­yer wo used to think him. !••' ".-

"But, bless you, listen to: that fellow. He talks away as quietly^ as if he'd just dropped in to say good morning. He* hasn't made a single gesture yet, nor 'shouted A single quotation'.; He don't seem to got worked up with bis subject

\ as the men of my day used to do. They itell me the judges won't let the lawyers iget too flowery nojwadays, and say they ihaven't time to listen to long-winded ^quotations. More's the pity. They re idiscouraging eloquence, and they'll soon ;haW the "lawyers presenting their eases from their offices over the telephone." iSo saying the ojd man took up his hat, dusted it with' his handkerchief, and went out,: still bemoaning the decline of oratory and the degeneration of the legal profession. • '••"•'""'

—pen. Hancock was a man of veiy sympathetic temperament. Some years ago he was a guest at a reception given by the Arcadian Club, Hew York, and amor|g the other entertainments was the recital of a poem,.called "Only an Or­gan Grinder," in which wasdecribed the death of a soldier on the field of Gettys­burg! Gen. Hancock listened to the recitation; with interest, and at the more pathetic passagesJ tears streamed down his cheeks, and he did not seem to be ashamed of them.

—A writer in The Cleveland Leader saysjhat "Mrs Bayard's death is anoth­er ordering on the funeral pyre of Wash­ington, society. There is no doubt that KaiejBayard was killed by social over­work! and the terrible strain which its costume and its duties entailed upon her.

The population of the city at that time was 250,000, and the increase since then lias been six-fold. Hence the destruc­tion of 4,000 buildings.at the present time would be no greater loss (relatively speaking) than the fire of 1825 was to the city then. One reason of the great destruction was the extreme severity of the weather. It-was one of the coldest nights of the season, and this, of course, impaired the operations of; the firemen. Added to this was a high wind, which gave the flames an almost irresistable impetus. The result was a blazing ex­panse^ whiMi covered thirteen acres, and would have reached a far greater extent had it not been for the extensive'area created by blasting. This was a last re­sort, and was successfully performed by a detachment of United. States troOps sent from the rtavyr-yard.

The effect of the great fire was a wide extent of bankruptcy. Many of the richest merchants were reduced to utter poverty, and then there was a large class of insurance shareholders who were cut short of dividends, since all the insurance companies were ruined, except the Cliatham and JEtnk of Hartford. The poxt day a public meeting was held in the city hall, with the mayor in the chair, and a subscription was opened for the sufferers. The damage, however, was too great for any such effort, and the annihilation of such a vast amount of capital -was felt in the "pressure," which afterward became as famous as the fire itself. The pressure of 1835, indeed, w4s the most protracted this city has ever witnessed, and it was seven years before the return of prosperity.—New York Letter. . -.•--•

I i thm go down stairs and out io the bari7where. I feed the horse. Some lit­erary- men feel above taking care of A hori;e, because there is really nothing in coamim between the care of the horse and literature, 'but simplicity is my watch vord. T. Jefferson would have to rise early in the day to eclipse me in simplicity. I wish I had as many dol­lars as I have got simplicity.

I then go in to breakfast. This meal consists almost' wholly of food. I am pass ioiiately fond of food, a n d l may tru­ly siy with my hand on my heart, that I owe much of my great success in lifef to this inward craving, this constant yearn­ing foi something better. . A .,

During this mea l l frequently converse/ with my'family. I do not feel jabdye my iariiry, at least if I do I • strive j to conceal i t as much as possible. Buck­wheat Ipancakes in a heated state, "\ with maple jsyr'up on the upper side arte ex-trecaely conducive to literature. JNoth-ing jerks1 the mental faculties around witn.greater rapidity than buckwheat pancakes.

After breakfast the time is put in to goon advantage looking forward' to the time w hen dinner will be ready. From 8 to ,1( A.

After that I dig • some worms, with a viejy to angling. I then angle. After t h i | 11 etum home, waiting until dusk, however, as I do not like to attract at­tention. Nothing is more distasteful to a truly good man of wonderful literary acquirements and yet with singular mod­esty, t i an the coarse and rode scrutiny of tlhe vulgar herd. In winter I do not angle. I sometimes spend an evening at home, in order to excite remark and at­tract attention to my wonderful eccen­tricity.

I-do not use alcohol in any form, if j know It , though sometimes l a m basely deceived by those who know of my pe­culiar prejudice. Alcohol should- be avojdea entirely by literary workers, es­pecially young women.

So he went into the ready-made clothing business, and now l e pay6 taxes on $75,000, so he is prob­ably worth $150,000.
