In the early part of the. present cent.u y there was :,n exhi:"ition in the city of London which the c .eknev of that dat called Sinnuons Vax Vorks It was a collection of hor- t rors and monstrosities, in which Guy F'awkes. l):iuiel Lambert, l)iek Tur- t piu. Tuttle the murderer, and many 1 other famous and disreputable people took part. It fulfilled its mission. andl finally passed that bourne from which even \v ax Works do not re turn. and was superseded over forty years ago by the famous exhi bition of Madam Tussaud. This ex hibition starting at first with a very few figures, in the course of years became one of the sights of London, and the man who visited London without calling on Madam Tussaud was thought to be a very indifferent specimea of a tourist. In our own country we have had several collections of wax works. Old Peal's Museum had a number of diabolical monstrosities, and "Our t Saviour's Last Supper" at Barnum's Museum is st:li remembered by those who are now grandmothers and grand fathers. Our Centennial Exhibition in 1876 aw:-kened us t. a sense of 1 the possibilities of plastic art. To 1 many that exhibit was a revelation, and ~it was a genuine pleasure to all lovers of plastic art in New York that1 we saw the inauguration of the Eden Musee. Many thousands of dollars1 hav'e been invested in this admirable exhibit which in all of its elegant sur roundings far surpasses the famons London exhibition. There is noth ing in Paris to equal it, and when It is more generally known, it is bound to become one of the most popular exhibitions in the city. It is imipos sible in the brief space necessarily alloted to amusements to give even a remote idea of the excellence of this admirable exhibition. The Eden M&see is an elegant structure situa ted on 23d street in the most fashion able part of the city. As you enter the door you see a couple of English tourists who are evidently preparing to go in to see the show. '1 hey have paused to examine a bill and you are horrified to observe a man in the act f picking his pocket. and just as you are about to give the alarm you observe with satisfaction that he is watched by a policeman who is look ng around the corner of the box of fee. Yc u watch the group fur some time andl as they fail to move you realize for the first time that they are part of the exhibition. Entering the vestibule you are conftronted by sev eral grand groups-one representing the principal rulers of the world, and the other representingr many of the most notable peop)le in the world of literature and art. .In front sits Vic tor Hugo, one of the noblest heads in the collection; near at hand and looking sweet as a pink is Patti whose olden notes have charmed the ears of that select set who can afford to a' her $5.000 a night for the privil ege. A striking figure is that of the ercat artist Messonier--very French; no need to tell you his nationaility The face is strongly marked by su percilious'.ess and van]ity. but it is not to be wo'.dered at, for great as e is in art, his intolerable egotism makes him anything but a pleasant companion. The great G eromne, whose works are known and admired wher ever art has a lover, sits near H ans Markart, whose magnificent works hae been the wonder and delhght of both hemispheres for the past fifteen years. Saddest of all when looking on that group to think that the im mortal genius which created so much that was beautiful and grand, should perish at last in hopeless ruin. 'The interior Salon is a delightful place and around it are some exceedingly uni(ue objects of art. A negrc bide rroom andi bride sit at one of the pa. bles evidently taking the wpiole thina iii g enjoying it bugey, You are a itt shocked at i#rst to see au;ch~ pope .niralggj 5o free and it is not till von have watched them some'time tht you realize that they :p-e part oi' Ue Eaden Musee company. ! phe tmany wonderful groups or 'r the marvels of' the crypt I mustY take di visit r. to .New Vnrk I woul, :,ay 1( ,v aLi hltmanus talke inl the EIln 1 : .\ e.

P ,d for the only respectable free li s rary in the city, it is true it is not a -eading room for the plillion, but it is a -ather the fault of the nillIhon thau he donor. that they do noL ava:I .l,emnselves of the pri. ileges, The A amily though one of the wealthiest a n the land is not oflihsively obtru. ! ive, and Mrs. Astor, the mother of h he bride, has long been knownl as e -' >e of the most charitable Indies iN . New York An acknowledged leader to f fashion, adoruing her hig. station fc is few other wo:nen could, she has 0o arned the admiration and love of In ler own sex without excit ug their SE mvy. The wedding which took piaci m Tuesday uight has had no parallel n our history. It is impossible to w :opute the number of thousands of lollars that this magnificent affair 16 -ost; the floral decorations alone ost a moderate sized fortune ald tli ,h. bridal presents which were num- i rous and costly were vort h a pri nc's . -aulsOm. Souie exceptionl has been g1 akenl to the display of wealth made )y Mrs. Astor on the occasion of her u laugiler's nuptiais; these people up- n )ear to f r,et that even thc lavish " lisplay broug:t money to the pockets >f hunireds of w. rking peopl-. The lowers were gathered for miles Lround; some of the hangings occt ied upholsterers for weeks; lecora ors; livery men and hundreds of thers reaped some of the profits of he Astor wedding. 11r. and Mrs. stor are abundantly able to pay the ills, and it is eminently fitting on ch an occasion that they should . ive their money a chance. In the i lour of their great joy they did not f orget the poor, but they sent a boun iful feast to the paupers of Bellevue e ho had cause to bless the wedding r >f Miss Carrie Astor. I will not at empt to give an elaborate account tD tf the magnificence of the decora ions, the splendor of the presents, he style of the fashions and the tone cE >f the company.

Referring to the existing situation, the N. Y.

The proof of this is well-known to every intel i ligent journalist in New York. Mr. Gould did the same thing in October with reference to the ejection in Ohio, when not one specific statement cap able of verification or exposure was allowed to pass over the Western V Union wires for more than thirty s hours, and when the statements that Swere sent were shown within two days to be conspicuously and inten s tionally false. As to the vote of New 'York the plot has been nearly identi 1cal and has been carried out with twore persistence.

Between a Fat ar.d a Lean X n In spired by Ie-Water. "iit ing me a glass of ice-water,' said the hot, dibty. worried man of business the other day, as he rushed into a restaurant to eat his luncheon. The waiter hurried off and so an -ame back with a big pitcher of the cooling drink. The wan filled his glass and drank the water, and again he filled his glass and emptied it. "My friend,' said a gentleman at the other side of the table, "you'll be hotter in ten minutes than you nere when you came in. Now, I'm just about as warm as you are, but I'll walk out of thie restaurant refreshed and cooled by my luncheon, but you won't." "Oh, bosh!" said the hot man, as he wiped the beads of perspiration from his brow. "Ice-water's cool, ain't it; and how can it make me hot ter?" "Well, wait and see. There's a difference in ice-water and the way you take it. Ab, here comes my lun cheon and yours, too. You see, mine consists of a glass of iced milk, a piece of nicely broiled fish, sliced to matoes, grgham bread, boiled pota toes, and rice and milk with berries. There are none of them beating. I shall sip my milk leisurely while eating, and eat as slowly as possible. Now, what have you there? Oh, a beefsteak, a kidney stew, hot corn, fried potatoes, apple fritters, a cup of hot coffee and cnstard pie. My dear sir, if it was Christmas Eve von might find some excuse for eating such staff. But you, a Christian looking fellow, to be lunching on such things with the thermometer at ninety degrfees in the shade." "But you're a thinner man than I!' exolaimed the fat man, as he ate a big piece of pie, "and I don't see as it's any of your business, anyhow." "I knew you do not; you are un grateful, like most people, when one is trying to benetit them," answeied the thinner man, as be daintily took a piece of his fish and a slice of toma to, "andn. as for your being fat, allow me to say that you would be mucch betterlootag if a little of that same fat was removed. You eat too much, although you are probably not aware of the fact, and you have plenty of company,' and the thinner man, with the clear eye and the smooth brown skin, waved bis hand backward, where thirty or more hot men were eating hot dishes faster than Maud S. can trot. ."It is the fault of you New Yorkers. You t ake ten minutes for dinner, swear at tbe waiter if he doesn't bring it to you in a second, then you smoke cigars and drinsk ice water." '-Well, what harm does it do us?" asked a fat man, as he ate fried pota toes and drank coffee. "Just this: You get overheated, are cross at home, are liable to have apoplexy, almost always have some disease of the kidney and liver, and grow' bald. By the way, you are quite bald now and you can't be fifty, yet,'' and the thinner man put a spoonful of black berries in his mouth. "You ought to be able to keep your hair until you are sixty, at le'ast, but you'll probably be dead by that time, so of course it makes no difference. N. Y. Joumal. JEWS RtETUYRNING TO PILES TINE.

B.it the persecutions in Russia have revealed that many thousands of the Chosen People are engaged in farming there and in Austria, Poland, and the Balkan countries. It is these persecu ions doubtless, and the prospect of more, which have stirrea the Jews at last. They may well think that if go they must, Palestine is as good a land to colonize as tue Western States, and they would be fulfilling prophecy into the bargain. There is no serious rea son for believing the idea impracti cable, if money enough be forthcom ing, and the right class of colonists be found.-- Londoi Standard. A BIG SPREE AND DEATH TO GETHER. Louis andGeorgeGueld were young artisans of Alsace-Lorraine, one thir ty and the other twenty-eight, both with flaxen hair, blue eyes and fair skins, and both jolly, ind'strious and bright. Each was engaged to be married and they came to this coun try to make money enough to buy some land :,djoining a piece they had inherited and make two farms for themselves. They went west and re inained two years, and last week stopped in New York on their way home with $2,000 they had saved. They sang French love songs, and gayly told the people about the hotel of the sweet hearts they were going home to and the happiness they ex pected. The younger brother went on a spree, picked up a handsome young woman somewhere, and with her aid spent all nis money in about three days. He returned and told his elder brother who immedia- ely had his own drafts cashed, and the two went on a spree together. U hen they had'spent the last cent they returned to their room and matched pennies to deter mine which should handle a revolver they had. The loser took the wea pon and shot his brother through the head and then blew out his own brains. They were- found there to gether, one dying and the other dead. The above is but one among the many thousands of the thrilling and eloquent temperance le'ctures in real life, and which day by day send a thrill of horror through the land. SLOW, BUT SURE. The old Hebrew idea of a man of honor is set forth in the Psalmist's words: "He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not." We express the same idea by our phrase : "His word is as good as his bond." A man who would merit the appli cation of these epithets to himself should be careful to heed these old sayings: "Make few promises," and: "Never promise more than you are able to perform." There are men of business, men amcng those that scorn to tell ,a lie, deliberately, who seldom heed this wise advise. They allow the press of business, or the desire to retain an impatient customer, to tempt them to make promises which they are unable to keep either to the ear or to the hope. Such men generally find that their expedients stamp them as 'uin reliable. In the long run, the man who is cautious in promising, but faithful in performance, is the one whom suc:ess welcomes. A few years ago, a lad entered a printing offee in England, as an ap prentice. He was slow in his move ments and the irritated foreman 6! ten scolded him for not working rap idly. During a rush of work, the foreman would call out, impatiently : "Bob, how soon will you have that job done?'' "In an hour. sir," would be the calm but provoking reply. The other boys, when asked a sim ilar question, would reply : "In a few minutes, sir," and there by soothe the Impatience of the hur rying foreman. But the overseer was not blind, though he was nervous and a "driver." He noticed that Bob's job was always nnished at the promised time. The other boys, on the contrary, were nev er up to time; for their "almost ready, sir." mneent nothing more than their anxiety to avoid a scolding. The result was that Bob became the trust3d boy of the offce, and was allowed to take his own time in work ing out his task. He carried ont this plan of doing exactly what he said he would along with him when he was promoted. To-day the slow boy of ten years ago is the foreman of the office and over.sees one hun-4 dred men.-Youth's Comnpanion.
