BROWN, M.P.P.\nThe Opposition on the Mainland an\nundoubtedly gains strength in the retirement of Mr. Brown. Tho members of\ntbe Government and their following\nperfectly understand this, and it is witb\nthem a source of deop regret that the\ncombative and acrimonious member who\nhas represented New Westminster during the past four years, and during that\nperiod kept tho Opposition party in\nturmoil is about to sever his connection\nwith the discontents, Depend upon it,\nlion. Premier Davio, far from wishing\nto retiro tho member for Now Westminster, would bo only too glad of the\ncontinued services of that gentleman in\nkeeping the opponents of tho Government in hot water.\nNcithor is it true that, during Mr.\nBrown's administration of his representative position in the Provincial Legislature, no complaints wero uttered regarding his administration of the official\nposition of city postmaster. The complaints, it is true, woro of a comparatively trivial character, but tlioy were\nwide-spread, and it was high time that\nthe Postmaster-General asserted himself\nIn the Interest of his Department. Mr.\nJ. C. Brown, city postmaster, should\nnever have boon permitted to sit in the\nLegislature. Under the same conditions\nhu would not have been allowed a seal Iu\nendeavoring, somewhat frantically, to j any of the other provinces. British\nmake a grievance of tho retirement of\nMr. .1. C. Ilrowu from the arena of Provincial politics, lt is generally uiider-\nllood I hat Mr. Hrown. being ihe official\nin charge of the Important post oflice of\nNew Westminster City, received instructions from Hie Department of tho Dominion Postmaster-General, that the\npositions of city postmaster and Provincial legislative representative woro\nnot in harmony, and that ho would bo\nrequired to retire, either from the ono or\nthe other, and that Mr. J. C, having a\nrealizing sense of the sice his bread was\nbuttered on, promptly surrendered tho\nfleeting and unsFtisfying glory of a weak\ncauso In the Provincial Legislature. Tho\nNews-Advertiser, however, mouthpiece of\nMr. Brown's chief, states that it was\nknown for some time by Mr. Brown's\ncolleagues that he would decide to retiro\nfrom his legislative position, so tbat it\nfloes not quite appear that tho hon.\nmember was pushed beyond his own inclination. The truth appears to be that\nMr. Brown had about arrived at a realizing sense of the fact that he had outlived his legislative usefulness, and was\nglad enough to retire, without loss of\ncredit, from a hopeless cause. The member for Now Westminster has a reputation for shrewdness, and his acquaintances generally will givo him credit for\nknowing when to quit; and the time was\nevidently ripe, if any credence is to be\nattached to the reputed overflowing\nmeasure of enthusiam that was accorded\nto Mr. J. li. Kennedy, who was nominated on Saturday night to succeed to the\nburthen discarded by the astute postmaster.\nUsually, when a representative mau\n/etircs from public place, those who\nwere opposed to him while in action, feel\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD disposition to acknowledge all his\nmerits and condone or entirely overlook\nmatters of difference of opinion, or of\npolicy, or of natural characteristics. It\nthus often happens, thut public men of\neven contemptible character, retire to private life amidst the praises of old-time\nopponents. The custom may not ho\nhonest, but it is charitable, and charity\ncovers a multitude of sins. When it was\nknown that Mr. J. C. Brown, M.P.P.,\nwas about to retire from his representative position, several Ministerial\nnewspapers forgot their old animosities and mado kindly reference to\nthe good points of the departing politician. Apparently these courtesies\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwere not appreciated by the .Opposition\nDross, the chief of which, the News-Ad-\nvi-iiser, stigmatizes the Ministerial\ncm-opiums Of Mr, Hrown as \"slobber.\"\nNow, the Canaiiia.n has no desire lo\nhunt the member for Westminster Into\nliis hole, mid would much rather stretch\na point to make a kindly reference than\nlo tell a harsh truth regarding a man\nabout lo puss oil the political scene. But\nif benevolence is to be credited as\n'slobber,\" It Is surely better to express\nbonest opinion, and we give our- as\nfollows: Mr. J. C. Hrown. like most\npeople who bold themselves in high\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD hi in. is a ready public speaker, though\noot by any means :i good speaker according to tho standard in ihe eastern Pro-\nrlnces. lie is a very good debater, and\nreasonably acutu In\nColumbia is exceptionally liberal in this\nmailer, as Mr. Davie said during tlie late\nsosslon, and it certainly was time for the\nDominion authorities to interfere. And\nthey did. Tho wonder Is, that in a\nDepartment so circumspect as that of\nthe Postmaster-General, the anomaly\nof au M.P.P.-postmastor was so long\ntolerated. It Is well the anomaly is\nended, and if Mr. Brown confines himself to his official duties, and acquits\nthem woll, there is no apparent reason\nwhy he should not bo held as high in the\ngeneral estoem as any other efficient\nofficial of the people.\nISAAC WALTON.\nSitting tho other day on the Yale road\nbridgo over tbo Serpentine rivor In\nSurrey, angling for trout, with a bit of\nrod yarn for bait, in tlie lack of anything\nmore enticing, some suggestions regarding trout lisliing occurred to the writer\nthat may perhaps be of somo little interest lo poople who take pleasure in the\npeaceful and meditative recreation of\nangling, than which there is no \"sport\"\nmore delightfully entertaining and innocent, and compared with which the pastime of shooting is very butchery. It is\na delight to even sit on the haul; of a\nswift and limpid stream, like the Lillooet for instance, bounding along its\nbed of boulders, and there soothed by the\nmusic of the tumbling waters, surrender\none's self to gentle meditation. The recreation of the angler is a poem embracing all Nature, and thero aro fow who\nlovo It but are thereby made better\nmen.\nIt must, however, be admitted that tho\nmost enthusiastic angler has a decided\nobjection to going a-lishing all through\na season and returning homo on every\noccasion with an empty basket. -There\nare many anglers in British Columbia\nwho have bad too much experience of\nthis kind, notwithstanding that the\nstreams of this Province are almost all\nwell stocked with trout. Somehow an\nimpression has become current that It is\nnot \"sportsmanlike'' to tako trout with\nanything but an artificial fly, and the\nway some disreputable anglers will lie\nabout their catches is astounding. Once\nthe writer met a man at Coquitlam\njunction who had just come down from\nthe Lillooet with a splendid basket of\ntrout. Asked what lie used for bait he\nreplied, \"Oh, took them with a fly, of\ncourse.\" Now, as a matter of fact, It\nwas dynamite that man baited with, as\ntranspired afterwards. Another man,\nand an expert hand to throw a liv, went\nout to the little lake near Vancouver one\nduy witli a good supply of salmon roe, a\nquantity of which he scattered lu the\nwater where he was about lo lish. The\nremainder he used for bait, and he made\na lino catch. Nevertheless, he always\nassured his acquaintances in Hie most\nbrazen way that lie took every trout of\nthom with a small American \"coachman,\" Now. what folly is this. Give\ntills hand a rod and line mid a choice of\nbail, ami there will be no hesitation in\nchoosing thai bait Hint the trout will\nmost readily lake, whatever it may be.\nnothing about it, and never read \"Tho\nComplete Angler.\" Keferring to certain\nchanges in the game law at tho last\nsession of the Legislature, looking to the\nprotection of trout, a Provincial journal\nstated that disciples of Isaac Walton\nwould bo pleased to learn that it would\nhereafter be unlawful to uso salmon roo\nas bait in angling for trout. No such\nthing. On the contrary, overy true disciple of the man who first made angling\na popular recreation, will wonder at tbe\nstupidity of the members of the Legislature in passing such an enactment.\nIsaac Walton gives moro than a hundred\ndifferent baits to angle with \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD flies,\nnatural and artificial, minnows, barley\npaste, cheese, lob worms and a scorn of\nother worms, gentles (the lurvao of Hies\nin putrifying meat), and a numbor of.\nother species of maggot, tho spawn of j\nfishes, and a host of others, and said j\nthut ho would he rejoiced if any bait:\ncould be discovered that would he more\nsuccessful. You seo, Isaac Walton went\na-fishing for fish, and if he couldn't get\nany with a lly or a minnow, he would try\nthe enticement of a worm or a maggot,\nor a hit of lish spawn, and whichever tho\nfish appeared to appreciate most, that\nwas ihe kind he appreciated most. So\nIt Is with this writer, who is well pleased\nto ho able to kill trout after tlie style of\nold Isaac Walton, and who, angling with\nsuch baits as proved taking, has often\nmade inure expert anglers, who scorned\nanything but lly, feel vory much dis-\ncouraged at tbo perversity of trout in\npreferring a coarse vulgar ground bait;\nto a dainty imitation of an insect.\nTrout aro not so easily taken in tho\nstreams of this coast that the angler\nshould bo debarred tho uso of any\nreasonable bait, and salmon roo is such,\nfor it is the natural food of trout in these\nwaters. The angle worm, so successfully used in Eastern Canada, is a very\nindifferent bait hero\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnot any bettor\nthan a bit of raw beef. Sometimes tho\nartificial fly takes well, but not often,\naud with the most successful of baits\nthere aro a mighty sight more empty\nbaskets returned home than full ones.\nTho restriction of the use of salmon roe\nfor taking trout is an absurdity, and like,\nall similar absurdities, that law will he.\nrespected in tbo breach. Streams\nstocked with trout aro of but little benefit to the country, if the taking of thom\nis made so difficult that tho angler forsakes his wonted recreation, and the\nbreakfast table ceases to bear its occasional dish in season of the choicest food\nof all the lishos that swim tho waters.\nCARTIVRiallT'S FARMERS'\nDISE EXPOSED.\nT_ *Zt-ci\nu_U ._\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nHow the American Farmers Suffer by\nTaxation.\nHamilton Spectator.\nZaecbeus B.

The member\nplace on the platform, and Mr. Davie\nthen took up the living issues of the day,\nwhicli are now agitating the minds of the\nelectors, lie said that the opponents Of\nthe Government had suid, untruthfully,\nthut tho Government punished those\ndistricts not returning supporters of the\nadministration; lie denied this, and\ncited the case of Now Westminster city\nand district in proof of the contention.\nlie denied the statement that this district had been neglected; Ihe Government had done justice in Nanaimo district. It Is truo thut streets lu Wellington hud not been laid out und paved, etc.,\non the townsito, but it was not the business of the Government to build streets,\nsewers and townsitos. There is u municipal act in force in this Province, and\ntho cities bave taken advantage of it.\nIt had beon represented to him since his\narrival in tbe town, that the residents\nof the townsito had applied for incorporation, but through legal technicalities\nthey were unablo to do so. It was tho\nduty of the local representatives to look\nafter such mattors, and when such disabilities arose, to appeal to the Legislature for remedy. The representatives of\nNanaimo district had not done tills, and\nso far as he was aware, no reference was\never made in tbe House by thoso gentlemen as to tbe requirements of tho town\nor district of Wellington. The members\nhad entirely lost sight of the real wants\nof their constituents, and devoted thoir\nontiro attention to thoso larger issues\nwhich were intended to overthrow the\nGovernment. Mr. MeKenzie, he understood, had claimed, at the recent Opposition meeting, credit for having\nsecured the now school house, although,\nif his memory served him, it was built in\nMr. llaslam's term as member for the\ndistrict. However, granting that Mr.\nMeKenzie was right, it was evident that\nthe Government was not disposed to\nignore the district because it returned\nOpposition members to tlie Legislature.\nThe Premier then took up the various\nscandal and other issues, which had\narisen during, and since, the past session\nof the Legislature. First, the Baker\nscandal; the Pooley scandal, and what\nmight be termed the Davie scandal. The\nlatter consisted in what was called the\ntravelling oxponses of tbo Attorney-\nGeneral and referred to articles published\nby the Opposition newspapers. At the\ntime it was lirst brought up In the House\nhe showed to the satisfaction of everyone that for every dollar expended the |\nProvince got full value in return. He\nt)(?)n referred to the many Important\ncriminal cases, and so on, which lie had\npersonally taken charge of, and pointed\nout that had tbe cases been given by the\nDepartment to a reputable lawyer, they\nwould have cost tho country a much\nlarger sum than the amount paid him,\nnot to speak of tbe trustee on Government business. Tho last and greatest\nscandal was that of the Nakusp and\nSlocan railway. Ho referred to the baso\ninsinuations thrown out by tho Opposition, and the pressing invitation on the\npart of the Government for a public inquiry at the timo. This tho Opposition\nrefused to accept; the preferred to havo\nthe insinuation go abroad that the Govornment was guilty of corruption. Dow-\nover, in this the opponents of the Government had mistaken the spirit of the\nGovernment. When the latter question j\nwas up in the House, Mr. Heaven claimed j\nthat such a condition of enquiry as that I\nasked for by the Government would be\na mere whitewashing machine, and it\nwas contended that the scope of the\nproposed enquiry was not large enough.\nHowever, in spite of the Opposition, the i\nGovernment did not propose to allow!\nthese stories of corruption to go unchallenged. A Royal Commission was\nappointed wliich would -ii shortly and\nInvestigate the whole matter of the\ncharges laid against tho ministers in re- j\ngard to the Nakusp and Slocan railway.\nThe gentlemen forming the Commission\nwero Sir Matthew Bogblo, Chief Justice\nof the Province, and the lion.

Those gentlemen\nwould certainly not be accused of other\nthan honest motives. lly their report\nhe would be prepared to stand or full.\nlie believed that when the report of Hie\nCommissioners was issued, ii win also\ndecide Ilie voles of a large majority of\nthe electors In the next contest.\nThe speaker then referred to Ihe system of aiding railway construction in the\nProvince, and showed thut lu every case\nthe Government had mado the best\npossible arraiigi'inent in the interest of\nthe country. He suid that some nils-\nlakes hud been 1101(1\nproperly, in Hie years gone by, but\nuntil the end of un election the Opposition hud found no fault. The (lovern-\nmont differed from tlie opposition iu this\nrespect, Inasmuch as the members of tho\nGovernmont were willing to admit their\nmistakes, The whole Legislature had\nfallen Into an error In regard to the\nmattor of railroad building.

The principal\nofficial is not the cook himself, hut the\nfunctionary who bears the title of the\nclerk of the kitchens. He has a salary\nof $4,000 a year, and does all the ordering and marketing. The chef is a\nFrenchman, and receives a salary of\n$5,000 per annum, and was until a short\ntime ago a man by the name of Pasteur,\nwho had held his post for nearly a quarter of a century. He is assisted by four\nmaster cooks, who each receive $2,000 a\nyear, and who enjoy the right of taking apprentices, or iiiariiiitons, who pay\ntbem a premium of $1,000 each for the\nprivilege of assisting in the preparation\nof the dishes for tbe royal table. Then\nthere are the yeoman of the kitchen, the\nconk's assistants, the roasting cooks, the\nsci mrers, the kitchen maids, a storekeeper, two green-ollice men and two\nsteam apparatus men.\nThe confectionary department of the\nkitchen has ita Bpeeiol officials; there iH\na lirst yeoman who receives $3,000 a year\ntor making crusts for pies and tarts.\nThe second yeoman, who has $.100 a\nyear less, superintends puddings, com\npoles, ices, meringues, etc.: then theiv\nnre apprentices and male and female as\nsistants to these two yeomen, besides a\nlu ud and deputy baker and three coffee\nwomen.\nA queer custom whicli prevails at no\noilier court than that of Ureal Britain is\nthe announcement at the beginning of\neach course of the name of the cook who\nhas prepared the dishes served, The\nannouncement is made in an audible\ntone by one of the clerks of the kitchen.\nThe origin of this custom dates buck to\nthe reign of King George II., who made\na great favorite of one of his uiuruiit-\nons, promoting him to the rank of chief\ncook over the heads of all bis seniors.\nThis, of course, created great jealousy,\nmid every effort was made to oust him\nfrom royal favor by rendering him responsible for the failureii that appeared\nupon the King's table.\nGreatly distressed thereby and fearing to lose his post, he complained to\nthe King in person, who immediately\ngave orders that thenceforth whenever\na dish was placed hefore him the name\nof the cook responsible for its success or\nfailure should be announced in a loud\ntone of voice.\nThe Queen generally 'breakfasts alone\nwhen at Windsor, in a room adorned\nwith the portraits of her daughters-in-\nlaw, the Princess of Wales and the\nDuchess of Coburg, tea of a peculiar\nkind known as Earl Grey's mixture\nforming Her Majesty's beverage at that\nmeal. Luncheon is taken in the company of Princess Beatrice or any other\nmember of her family who may happen\nto be staying with her at the time,\ngame, very high, and a cold sirloin of\nbeef constituting an invariable feature\namong the viands on the table. At dinner the lords and ladies in waiting are\ngenerally present, but only,on personal\ninvitation by the Queen.\nRECEDING GUMS.\nJai-ANESE WOMEN.\nBeautiful Iu Middle Life.\nHelen of Troy comes upon the stage\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDt the age of 40. Aspasia was 85 when\nmarried to Pericles and she waa a brilliant figure thirty years thereafter.\nCleopatra was past 30 when she met\nAntony. Diane de Poitiers Jwas 36\nwhen she won the heart of Henry II.\nThe king was half her age, but his devotion never changed. Anne of Austria\nwas a8 when described as tho most\nbeautiful woman in Europe. Mme. de\nMaintenon was 48 when united to Louis,\nand Catharine of Russia 33 when she\nseized the throne she occupied for thirty-\niir.B years. Mile. Mar was most beautiful at 45, and Mme. Recamier between\nthe ages of 35 and 55.\nThe old saw about sweet sixteen'is exploded by the truer knowledge that the\nhighest beauty does not dwell in immaturity. For, according to Science Sittings,\nbeauty does not mean alone the fashion\nof form and coloring, as found in the\nwaxen doll. The dew of youth and a\ncomplexion of roscssoinetimes combine\ninn face that is ur-moving and nnre\nspunsive, as though lacking utterly the\nlife spark. In the course of years, how-\ni vcr, ii time arrives wlicn the coming of\niige must lie recognized, when the muscles begin to relax, the skin to lose its\npolish and roundness and softness give\nplace to angles. Contentment and good\nhumor will still outrival all medical inventions as a preservative of youth.

'Recession\nof the gums' it is called. Tartar is deposited at an abnormal rate, and this\ncarbonate of lime secreted from the\nsaliva pushes tihe gums back from the\nteeth. After a while, if nothing is done\nto prevent it, the trouble gets as far as\nthe sockets, which become inflamed.\nFinally tlie teeth fall out.\n\"A well known statesman came to me\nfourteen years ago with a bad case of\nthe disease. Every tooth in his head\nwas loose, and one of them was so far\ngone that I took it between my thumb\nand finger and quietly lifted it out.\nWithin three months I had fixed him up\nso that all the rest of his dental equipment was perfectly solid in his jaws.\nIt was accomplished simply by removing the destructive tartar and preventing it from accumulating again; also\nwith the aid of a littlo medicine applied\nto the gums. The distinguished patient\nof whom I speak comes to mo every two\nor threo months aud undergoes a little\ntreatment. In that way I havo been\nable to keep his *eeth for him thus far.\n\"It is a very peculiar diseaso. In a\ncase so far advanced as the one I have\ndescribed, it can hardly be cured. That\nis to say, the tendency to an accumulation of tartar cannot be stopped. All\nthat can bo done is to prevent, it from\naccumulating by scraping it away at\nintervals and by medicinal application to\nthe gums. In mi early stage, however,\nthe complaint is perfectly curable and\nthe tendency in most casos can be ovor\nci une. But much care and continual\nattention are required. Otherwise the\nperson will havo lost some of his teeth\nby tho time he is forty years old, and\nafter that the rest of them will go rapidly. Tho making of false teeth has arrived at great, perfection, but at best\ntliey are poor substitutes.\nAs I have said, this may bo regarded\nas a new disease. At all events it is\nonly in recent years that it has become\nprevalent. It is important that people's\nattention should be called to it. From\nseven years to twenty care must be\ntaken of the teeth lest they decay.\nThere is little danger of that after the\ntwentieth year is passed. But from\nthat time on one should look out for\ntartar. A mouth affected in the way I\nspeak of is almost worse than a badly\ndecayed mouth. Tho trouble means\ncertain loss of the teeth unless looked\nout for and treated. '\nMuskrat Skins in the Majority.\nThe other day there was a great fur\nsale in London. In four days, at one\nauction house, more than 8,000,000 skins\nwere sold, and of these more than one-\nhalf\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto be exact, 1,526,000\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwere musk-\nrat.

This \"footgear tends to give them\nungraceful gaits\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa sort of waddle\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand\nit is considered the correct thing to toe\nin. Their costume, almost ahvays becoming as td material and color, makes\nthom look a little dumpish. This is\nespecially the effect of the great bow of\nthe belt, or obi, worn on the small of\nthe back, as much as a foot square. In\nmost cases the faces wear amiable, contented expressions. They are not worn\nby care or thought.\nTho women of Japan are much better\ntreated than their Bisters in other Eastern nations, but they are considered distinctly inferior to the men, and are\ntaught from their earliest childhood\nobedience\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfirst, to their parents; then\nto their husbands, nnd finally to their\nsons when they become the heads of\ntheir households. But this does not appear to weigh upon the Japanese woman.\nShe is cheerful, docile and contented\nwitli bar lot, happy to serve in tho station appointed lier, with simple tastes\nand good digestion, and politeness which\nnever fails. They are said to be good\nhousekeepers always observant of their\nduties, but the simplicity of their\nhousekeeping relieves them of a great\nmeasure of tho care which wrinkles the\nbrow of the Xew England housekeeper,\nfor instance. Their bouses, even the\nbest of tbem, are the simplest structures\nimaginable, containing almost nut liim; of\nwhat we call furniture, ami their dresses\nrequire no art in their cutting and manufacture.\nThus the two great causes of worri\nmenl from which our women suffer do\nnot exist for these simple creatures.\nThe introduction of Occidental dress is\nobviously a great mistake. It means a\ncomplete revolution of the Japanese\nhousehold. It means the change from\nsitting on the clean matted floor to\nchairs and sofas. It means wrinkles for\nthe smooth faco of the Japanese woman.\nBesides, it means the loss of her charms\naud no compensation; for the Japanese\nwoman in European costume is a dwarfish, dumpish little creaturo, as much\nout of her element as a duck on dry\nland. But what has a traveler to do\nwith these questions?\nCondition ot Eggs,\nThe flesh of diseased animals is very\nproperly objected to as food. But the\negg of a diseased hen is as much diseased as the flesh. Poultry cholera,\nroup and other virulent diseases are\nmore prevalent in fowls than any dis\neases in other animals. Almost every\nfarm flock has its receptacle for departed sick fowls back of the barn or in a\nfence corner, and in little graves in the\ngarden under the currant bushes or\ngrape vines. No notice is taken of the\nfact that the eggs of these hens have\nbeen gathered and sold for weeks preceding the final event, or a thought\ngiven that they were virulently unwholesome. Yet we have been told that\nhens had received the germs of diphtheria (which is roup in their c.isei and of\ntuberculosis from human subjects. But\nwho has seriously considered the danger\nof infection by diphtheria or consumption, or of intestinal fever (.which is the\nfowi cholera) from the eggs we eat. And\nyet there is imminent danger of it that\nhas been heretofore unannounced, so for\nas we know.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDHall's Journal of Health.\nSmall Female Feet.\nThe craze for small feet is not nearly\nso pronounced as it used to be, and\nladies do not feel disgraced when they\nare compelled to wear a large three or\nsmall four. For years efforts have been\nmade by artists and doctors to inculcate\na taste for larger feet, and to a great\nextent they have been successful. The\ngranitoid sidewalk, however, has done\nmore missionary work in this direction\nthan all the talking and writing. While\nono walks on the grass it is pretty easy\nto keep the foot small and comfortable,\nbut a few hours' tramp daily on granitoid or granite makes a very small foot\nimpossible and a very small shoe exceedingly uncomfortable. By careful measurement, however, it is impossible to\nmake a shoe which looks a size smaller\nthan it really is, .and this is an art the\nsecret of which is not obtained in a few\ndays or even years.\nA New Idea in Hearses.\nAn original idea for a hearse has oc\ncurred to a Baltimore man, which, if it\nconies into practical use, may revolutionize the custom at funerals which ro\nquires the mourners to accompany tho\nremains to the cemetery in coaches\nspecially hired for the occasion. The\ncoffin rests in a compartment on tho top\nof a vehicle, being put in position by an\napron which is lowered on the inside.\nIn tlie forward part of the hearse is an\napartment whero tlie chief mourners\nmay isolate themselves, providing they\nare not too numerous. Tiro rest of the\nvehicle is for the friends. When the\nmourning party is a small one such a\nhoarse will commend itself to peoplo of\nsmall means, although the vehicle would\nunquestionably attract, more attention\non tho streets than funeral processions\ndo now;\t\nWild (ieese \"Wedges.\"\nWild geese tluit \"pass in tho night\"--\ndid you bear that weird \"honk\" Saturday evening?

There are certain boiks\nwhich it is necessary to read; but they\nare very few. Looking at the matter\nfrom an esthetic point of view merely,\nI should say that thus far only one man\nhas been able to use types so universal,\nand to draw figures so cosmopolitan,\nthat they are equally acceptable to the\nwhole Indo European branch, at least,\nof the human family. That man is\nHomer, aud thero needs, it seems to me,\nno further proof of his individual existence than this very fact of the solitary\nnnapproachablcness of the \"Iliad\" and\nthe \"Odyssey.\" Tho more wonderful\nthey are,\" the more likely to bo the work\nof one person. Nowhore is ttie purely\nnatural man presented to us so nobly\nand sincerely as in these poems.\nNot far below these I should place the\n\"Divimi Cotmnedio\" of Dauto, m whicli\nthe history of the spiritual man is\nsketched with equal command of mate\nrial and grandeur of outline. Don t^nix\noto stands upon the same level, and re\nceives the same universal appreciation.\nHere we have tho spiritual and the\nnatural man set before us iu humorous\ncontrast. In tbo knight, and bis squire\nCervantes has typified the two opposing\npoles if our dual nature\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe imagination and the understanding as thoy appear in contradiction. This is the only\ncomprehensive satire ever written, for\nit is utterly independent of time, place\nami manners.\nFaust gives us the natural history\nof the human intellect, Mephisto-\npheles being merely the projected impersonatton of that skepticism which is the invariable result of a purely intellectual culture.\nThese four books are the only ones in\nwhich universal facts of human nature\nand experience are ideally represent\ned. They can therefore never be displaced.\nI havo not mentioned Shakespeare, because his works come under a different\ncategory. Though they mark the very\nhighest'level of human genius, they yet\nrepresent no special epoch in the history\nof the individual mind. The man of\nShakespeare is always the man of actual\nlife as he is acted upon by the words of\nsense and of spirit under certain definite\nconditions. We all of Us may be in the\nposition of Macbeth or Othello or Hamlet, and we appreciate their sayings and\ndeeds potentially, so to speak, rather\nthan actually, through the system of\nour common nature and not of our experience\t\nTuberculosis in Cattle.\nEvidence multiplies to sustain the belief that tuberculosis is developed most\nreadily in warm modern stables and\nunder what nuiy be called hot-house\nconditions. A writer iu Country Gentleman iu speaking of a case at Lenox.\nMass., in 18H8, when thirty-two cattle\nwere destroyed, says; \"These cattle\nwere kept in a new barn built only after\ncareful study into every detail. Stables\nwere light and clean. Water was supplied in each stall. Even the most\nrigorous snap of a Berkshire winter\nfailed to produce a freezing temperature\nin theso stables, and for days at a time\nthese cows remained inside, where they\nwero well groomed and supplied with\nthe best of feed and water. Tho warmth\nand comfort of theso stable i seemed to\nprovide hot-bed conditions for the nurture of the tuberculous bacilli. Berk\nshire county has bad at least six serious\noutbreaks, or rather developments, of\ntuberculosis since, all of which have occurred in bonis of cows kept in costly\nbarns of modern construction, with the\nbest of care, and I know of no instance\nwhore cattle left to 'rough it' have been\ntroubled except in isolated cases which\nwere easily traceable to hereditary inoculation.\"\nThe Tea Cosy.\nNo housekeeper's equipment is com\nplete without a toa cozy, and two or\nmore are greatly to be desired. The\ncozy serves for coffee as well as tea, and\nwill sometimes do more towards making a success of breakfast than even the\nnew-laid eggs or the steaming rolls\nEvery man tools, himself wronged when\nlib coiloo or tea is cold, and let all\nthings else be as good as they may, he\nwill declare his moruing repast a total\nfailure if it happens that his favorite\nbeverage is cold aud insipid. A coxy is\na very simple thing to make, and is particularly serviceable when made of\nvelvet or silk in combination for tho\noutside, with India or China silk for the\nlining. The shape is sort of half oval,\nwith the usual 19 inches for tho base\nline ami 14 inches for the perpendicular.\nLayers of cotton should be tacke'd be-\ntween tho lining and outside sufficient to exhaust two ordinary batting\nbundles. ^^ -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>\nI>ry Uot In thi?
