Household Hints. Exgltsh Flttm prcdixg.?One-half | pound flour, one-half poundfsugar, one-1 half pound suet, w^U chopped; onehalf pound currants, one-half pound raisins, oue-fourth pound citron; six eggs, well beaten; one carrot, grated flue. Mix thoroughly, and boil three hour?. Chickex Salad.?The fcwls should be young and fine, and may be either boiled or roasted. They must be quite cold. Disjoint the fowls, and reject all the skiu and fat; cut the meat from the bones in small pieces about an inch square ; wash and thread white celery, and cut up in the same sized pieces as the fowl. You need to use nearly as much celery as meat. Out also in small pieces a little lettuce, and mix the three " ell together. You can make the dressing by taking the yolks of eight hard boiled epTRs, one teaspoonful fine salt, the same of cayenne, two tablespoonfuls of made FreLch mustard, a gill of vine%xr or lemon juice, and ton tablespoonfuls of sweet oil. Mix these ingredients thoroughly together with a wooden spoon, until they are quite smooth. The dressing should not be put on until jnst before sending to table, as it wilts the oelery and lettuoe and toughens the meat. Pile the salad smoothly in a salad dish, and cover over with mayonnaise Bauce ; spread on with a knife , garnish with hard boiled eggs, each cut i>i eight pieces, and laid on the edge of tjie salad. Put in the center the heart cf young lettuce or some tender leaves of celery, adding according to your taste stoned olives, boiled red beets cut j iu fancy shapes, or very thin slices of lemon ; keep in a very cold place until' the moment you wish to use it. Corn Bread.?Take of sifted corn j meal two pints and of sifted wheat flour j ono pint; add two ieaspoonfuls of salt | and two of any good baking powder ; j one tablespoonful of lard or good beef j dripping; one teacnpful of sngar or j molasses, mid two eggs beaten very j light; pnt some milk into the eggs before adding them to the. flour; mix about as stiff as molasses cake. Pumpkin Bcttes.?Takeout the seeds of one pumpkin, cut it in small pieces, and bcil it soft; take three other pump-" kins, cut them in pieces, and boil them soft; put them in a coarse bag and press out the juice ; add the juice to the llrst pumpkin, and let it bcil ten hours or more, to become of the thickness of butter ; siir it often. If tho pumpkins are frozen, the juioe Trill come out much easier. Quince Pie.?Pare, slice and stew six quinces till soft, press them through a i-ieve, add one pint of milk and three veil beaten egge, sweeten to tatte, bake in a bottom crust, thr<*:-quarters of an hour, in a moderate oven. Ink Stains.?You can remove ink stains by soaking the stained paits in diluted carbolic acid (about one drachm of acid to the pint of vrat^r) for ttvo or three days, and then wash out. Harmons nun ^\n?wcr(i. I When land lias been reduced by cropping, which is the best ifceacs of restoring its fertility ? Clover furnishes a popvlar means. Fertility grows by covering this kind of 'and with a thick sod and tilling tho soil with roots. What are the leading characteristics of the box elder ? It is easily grown, of quick growth, is hafdy, indigenous, t?nd is equally good for wind breaks and for timber. Can refuse hair from tanneries be j utilized with profit on a farm ? Yes; it is a valuable fertilizer. The j hair is usually mixed with lime; when spread broadcast this produces an immediate effect, though the action of the hair is slow. The best results are obtained from this refuse when it is poured j in or mixed with tho soil. It greatly in-1 crpases tho fertility of dairy farms, is i paid to bo preferable to barnyard ma- j linre for turnips, and is an excellent fer- ! tilizer for cabbages. //xwlfl Vin in flin nvAflnDa I VttU 1U mo uv tt3oioi.vu iu Jt of changing tho feathers ? The moulting season is really a most trjing one to them. During the moulting period the blood is drawn from for the materials which compose the feathers, and this drain'is often so great as to weaken the fowl: the remedy in to give as feed elements which will mot-t quickly replace the exhausted Mood. Fish refuse, ground bone and powdered oyster shells are recommended lor feed; and for drink, water supplied \rith rusty iron; also a little milk each day is good for them. In place of rivty iron tincture of iron can be put in their drinking water; a tablespoonful of tinoture to a quart of water is the rule. When should spinach be sewn to secure it for early spring uso? The peeds should be sown early enough to get the plants well cultivated before tho cold weather comes; then lliey can be protected by ooveiing lightly with some coarse litter. In neighborhoods where it can be obtained, fwamp Lay is preferred to straw for this purpose, as it is a greater protection from lield mice. T.- .; \ * *- >-1- Laved spinach is more hardy than the long leaved kind, and is oftenest dsod for fall sowing. How prevent insects from attacking farinaceous stores ? M. Massie says the introduction of a bar of iron in a box in '.vhich barley, j rice, bran, biscuit, etc., are stored is of- | licient to prevent either the attack of iuH?cts or the ravages of decay. It is J claimed that a bar weighing three pouuda wiib protect forty gallons of ?rain. Killing Fowls. There are three modes of killing fowls. Some advocate suffocation, clever men i;mong them. Othere cut the throats. A third party breaks" the neck. It is paid suffocation is the best, as tho bird ceesno part of its properties; but when death is caused by this process there is a dark color which is unpleasant and suggestive. When the throats are cut the flesh is beautifully white, but the meat is dry and suggestive of deal sawdust. When the neck is broken, the dislocation being perfect, if the fowl is held by the legs, the head being downvrard, nil the blood runs to the disjunction of tho vertebra), none remains in the body, and the juiciness of the flesh is retained. Anxious te Die. Santania, the celebrated Kiowa chief, f 1'#. IV " Lie/ #a ujjuui ocutoiiuo lur ill? 111 vll? Htate prison of Texas, made an ineffectual attempt to end bis lifo by suicide. 'Ahe chief baa been for some time in a depressed and melancholy state of mind, ehafiDf? under the restraint of prison life. For some time, however, he has been allowed to walk within tho limits of the yard, up to the picket line, being placed among the i(trusties," who are a'bwed a cor tain freedom from restraint. Watching his opportunity he had procured a small rope, and, fastening one M.i'l to a scautling, tied the other end alxmt his neck, and was caught dangling with his fe?t about twenty-four inches from the ground, but was cut down before 1. fe was extinct. Thus the brave semper was saved from Btrangulahon, a.id the surgeon cheated out of a subject. ^ w . Two Kisses. " And say if I should give a kiss," The maiden said, " What good to me Would come from it?" "Yon would not miss I So small a boon." said he ; '' Aud when I sail o'er far off seas, j Its sweetness will a great joy bring ; And every low or ringing breeze Will of your kindness sing." " Ah, men oft say such v>ords, you know, And then go wandering away Where sweeter flowers bud and blow, And there forever stay. What bond havo I that you will not, When you are far beyond tho sea, 1 And have my one poor gift forgot, I Find lips will sweeter be ?" His eyes tout down to meet her gazo, And clasping firm hf-r s-mall white hands, He eaid: " Lovo ne'er the traitor plays In any teas or lands : l And all the bond tbat I can give, ! Ib a love strong, and true, and brave ; I j A lovo that through earth's life will live. And paee beyond the grave." "Then take your kiss," she whisper'd low, And mingled wore brown hair and gold, Aud as tho uiinntes swiftly go, Lovo'n vows as swift wore told. The morning saw hie ship's white sails Shine out beyond the rippling bay, And fast before the growing gales She winged hei trackless way. And in the watches of the night, And where the tropic isles lay sweet With spicy breath and waters bright The bending boughs would moot, He felt her warm lips on his own; No eyes were bright, no face was fair That did not tell of- her alone, All limes and everywhere. She watched his ship sail up tho bay, She heard his footsteps at the gate, And half afraid did ling'ring stay Beside the glowing grate. Tho autumn twilight litl'd tho room With shadows vague, but his clear eyes Siiine truthfully hi the half gloom, AU doubt fiom her soul dies. "Dear lore,' tic saia, 1 ctnng loyon Lips tbat still hold love's signet, eet There by your own, sweet I am trne, I could not you forget." Unasked her lips were raised to his, Qor littlo bauds clang to his own. And her sweet, thrilling welcome kiss Told she was Jlis alono. ?Thomas S. Collier. JUDITH'S TEMPTATION. How bright and cheerful the kitohen of the old Stedhursf farmhonBe looked to Judith Black upon the dreary December evening when she first came chero to live! How merrily the fire flickered on the walls with red, fantastic reflections! Hbw the "tins sparkled .-.gainst the wall, and what a song of welcome the old copper teakettle sung upon the hearth! And Mrs. Stedhurst's geraniums in the window, with their velvet leaves and spikes of vivid scarlet blossoms?to Judith they seemed fairer than anv conservatory., crowded full of fan palms and camellia and trailing jasmine. Judith Black had been very poor. She Bad been a dressmaker, but times wero very hard. She had striven to get work, but applicants were many, and the cnp of starvation had been perilously close to her lips when she crept into the office whej;e Edward Stedhurst saw her, and engaged her to help his mother abput the housework. "Isha'n't like her, Ned," said Mrs. Stedhurst, when the "new girl" had gone up to her. own room for the night, and mother and son were together before the kitchen fire. " Why not, mother?" " She's too pretty; and she has such a hAughty, queenly sort of a way. 1 shouldn't think of asking a lady to scrub the floor and feed the pigs." "That's nonsense, mother," said Edward, half vexed, half laughing. " She can't help her face, can she ? It is Bome ot the scraggy faced, smallpox marked girls who wero so exacting as to the wages they would receive and the duties they would be called upon to perform, that I wouldn't have 'em in the house on any terras. Judith wns the only one who was willing to come for any sort of work, and willing to accept moderate wages."- . "She'llpuit you," saidMt. Stedhurst, who had oome in while the discussion was going on. " Take my word for it, mother, she'll suit you." Judith Black stayed for a month, and then Mrs. Stedhurst engage'd her for another month. " sne is neat,' saia me iaay, ana sne is quick to learn, and I believe her to be thoroughly trustworthy." "If ouly Ned don't fall in love with hor," humorously suggested Mr. Stedhurst. " Why flhouldn't he fall in love with hor, if ho wants to?" said Mrs. 8tedhiirt>t, valiantly. "My dear, my dear," remonstrated Mr. Stedhurst, " what do you know about Her?" "What do you know about any girl, for that matter ?" said Mrs. Btedhnrst. " She is certainly very pretty, and very faithful, and vei ' i.onest." " Honest," put in Mr. Stedhurst, dryly, " because she bas no temptation to be otherwise." "Now, Phineas, you are too bad," said Mrs. Stedhurst; impatiently. " The current jelly has never been disturbed in the closet, and I have left the sugar bowl twice on the dresser with thirty-three lumps of sugar in it, and thirty-three there were, and I counted them after she had gono to bed." " Not very great temptations, those," said Mr. Stedhurst, smiling, "No," said his wife, "but straws show which way the wind blows." About a month subsequent to this conversation, Edward Stedhurst came to his father. " Father," said he, "Iwas twenty-one years old in October." "Yes," said Mr. Stedhurst. "And you were a year younger than that, when you were mairied ?" "I believe bo, Nod." "Have you any objections to my taking a wife?" " None in the world?if it proves that she is the right sort of a wife!" answered the old gentleman. " Father, I have fallen in love with Judith Black," confessed Edward. "Just exactly what I have feared all along," said Mr. Stedhurst, with a shrug I nf liia fllinnlHprc. " Why do you use the word feared,' father?" questioned Edward. "Because, my lad, she is almost a stranger to us." "Father, I would stake my life on her truth and honesty," said the young man. "Because you are in love with her, my 6on. Edward, have you spoken to her yet ?" "Notyot, sir." " Will you do me a favor ?" Edward smiled a little. "That depends upon what it is, father." " Will you wait a week before pen ask her to become your wife? Will you wait a week without asking any questions?" 44 If you desire it, sir." "^t tbeend of that time I will tell you what I think upon the matter." And Mr. Stedhurst went out. The next day he brought d<jwn an fumful of old coats, vesta, etc., from the garret. "Judith," said he, "these things are getting motheaten. They belonged to an old uncle of mine, who died ten years ago?an odd, miserly old fellow who hoarded everything up, and died in a cellar at last. I want them cut ibto ? ? v- oi jycc " Yes, sir," answered Judith Black, iu the soft, low voice which was habitual to her. And when her day's routine of dnty was done, she went to work diligently with Mrs. Stedhurst's large shears. She was all alone in the kitchen the next afternoon just as the clock was striking three. And as she worked she bung softly to herself an old Scotch ballad, " Bonnie Dundee." ? Picking up an old waistooat of ginger oolored cloth, she chipped off the buttons, and mechanicaliy turned the pockets inside out to cut them away. There was a piece of folded brownish paper in one of them. Judith took it out, without thinking much of it, and unfolded it. To her surprise, she perceived that it was a twenty-pound note. In her first astonishment she uttered a little cry, all alone though she was. And then she rememberod what Mr. Sted hurst had said about the miserly old one who had " hoarded up his little gains and died in a collar at last." This, doubtless, was one of the old man's hiding places?and he died and made no sign. And this precious bit of paper?was it not hers by right of discovery ? Her eyes gleamed and her fingers tremblod convulsively as they tightened upon it! She needed it ho much! She was so poor?so pinched for money. And these Stedhursts, to whom it would naturally revert, were rich and did not need it. They would never know. Nobody would ka w. For a minute the temptation battled fiercely with her better nature. For minute only; and then she rose np and went straight to the door of the toolroom?went with drooping eyt lids and a scarlet stain on either cheek. "CJome in," taid Mr. Stedhurst, as she knocked at the door, and she entered. "Mr. Stedhurst," said she, in a voice that would falter a little in spite of her resolution to control it; " Lere is some money?a twenty pound note. I have foui^d it in the pocket of one of those old waistcoats." " Ah,v said Mr Stedhurst, putting down his plane and taking the crumpled bit of paper. "And why didn't you keep it ? Did it not occur to you that I would never know anything about it ?" "Yes." said Judith, slowly, "it did occur to me, sir." " Then why didn't you keep it?" " It was not mine," Judith answered, in a low tone. "Judith," said old Phineas, "I put that Uioney there." " You did ?" " I did. To test you. To make sure (Kni- IIia /vttil tt*V?r\rt-\ mrr Vv/-\rr ho/-I rti*tto? lliUl luc 1 u\j truviu ixij uuj uuu his heart was worthy of him." Judith's face glowed a deep scarlet. " I?I don't understand yon, sir," said she. " No, I suppose not. But you will in a few days." And she did when Edward Stedhurst asked her to be his wife. "My own love," be said, " the house has been like a different place since you came into it. Will you promise to stay here always ?" And Judith's answer was "Yes.'' Written by Itself. My life is shortly told. My first impression was the sensation of a tremendous but short squeeze, which instantly awoke me into life and thought. 1 was now spread out to the light, and a glow of intelligence completely pervaded mo. My ideas wero at first now, multifarious and oonfused?nations, politics, courts, wars, speeches, merchandise, fightings, feasts, marriages, ditties, poetry, eto., etc., made up all my thoughts, which wore various and mixed. I lay in a silent state of wonder and great amazement. - . I soon found that I was but one of a very large family, and was ushered into this crarionB world at the same time. Oar whole family was laid in regular order in a pile; my situation, being one of the firot born, was particularly uneasy, damp, and uncomfortable. I bad a silent, intuitive longing wish to get into the world, which was at last gratified. Morning came, and I was carefully folded and laid, Moses-like, in a basket, by a boy who was called the carrier, and borne into the street The said carrier I soon found was an object of interest and desire. He was soon accosted by an elderly looking man, with threadbare, rusty breeches. " Have you a spare paper this morn-, ing, my boy}" "No, sir," was the short reply, and he trudged on with us, muttering: " Not as you know on, old gripes. You are the name chap that promised me somo coppers for tha paper the other morning, and hain't paid me yet; you are too Btingy to take the paper?you won't get another from me, I guess." My brethren were now fast leaving me, being deposited at their proper destination. At length my turn came, and L was tucked in the crevice of a shop door. The first sample of the kind was not at all alluring. I had not been long in my new situation, when a reluctant early oofoer, swinging a key in his hand, wistfully eyed me, and casting" a look about him, feloniously seized mo, and thrust me into his pocket. My rightful owner, by virtue of advance pay, being in sight, hailed and arrested the pilferer, and with threats compelled -him to relinquish his prize. He entered his store, and I soon found that I was the first object of his attention. After hastily drying me by the fire, in which process I narrowly escaped conflagration, he ran over me, and fixed his eyes upon sales at auction, advertisements, etc. I was then more particularly examined, and dismissed with condemnation. "Nothing but foreign news?congress and cabinet?lovo stories, and accidents by flood and field. A newspaper should be a commercial report, one side at least should be devoted to prices current." I was then pettishly thrown upon the counter, but was soon in requisition. A boy came in, with a " Please to lend me your paper for a few minutes,.just to Took at the ship uews ?" The request was reluctantly granted, with something about the plague of paper borrowing, and a determination to stop it. I was soon borne to alieighboring house. The good old woman, whose husband was at seu, oagerly sought the ship news, but was quite disappointed in her search. " How negligent and careless these printers are," said sbe; " not a word of intelligence of the Wind Bird; they print of Poland and poetry, and fill their papers with advertisements, and that is all they care about." Miss now took her turn. Sue sought the stories, poetry, and marriages, which in half an hour were all devoured with a " wonder that they put anything else in the paper." Au elderly laay now took me, who, adjusting her spectacles, surveyed me a little while, and declared me a "terrible uninteresting papor?hardly a column of death?, and not more than fifteen or twenty murders and accidents." In tins way I passed throngh all the hands of the family, and after being well soiled and somewhat torn by the little ones, was sent homu. For three whole days I got no rest, but was continually borrowed and abused. At the end of thin period I was supplanted by a new face, and was then discarded and thrown aside like all servants when they have become useless. I was, however, again resuscitated, and employed as a wrapper to some merchandise, and sent into the country, i here I again became the object of interest, went the rounds of i the neighborhood, and was a "nine days' wonder." I am now quietly hanging up in a shattered condition, in a farmer's kitchen, from which I have written this brief memoir. I have seen much of the world, and learned that mankind are unreasonable and ungrateful, and that in a world of great variety of tastes and wishes it is impossible to please all. Second Sobeb Thoughts.?An amusing story is told of an incident that occurred in Nevada. A little man had threatened to horsewhip a big man. Whip in hand, he entered a restaurant where the big man was eating, but after - rmwrAw flm lio/>lr of liia art mm rr H OiiUllI nux fCJ Vi VUV nrwvu, VA UW VUVAUJ y he retreated, and when asked why he had not carried his threat into execution, he replied : " Oh, thunder ! that fellow is twioe as big aa ho was yesterday."

Brother Jim is sure to cry halves' when I get ho 19, and when I say you didn't give mo, nothing, he'll punch my head for a Btcry." .* ti,j , SUMMARY OF KEW& Interesting Item nr?m Ho e ud Abroad.

Dey was the engineer who surveyed and located the first handled milos of the Union Pacifio rail roaa. ne wumuit'u its uuou ui uuu mw thirty thousand dollars a mile. When this estimate was shown to the directors it was retnmed to him with orders to retouch it with Ligher colors, to pat in embankments on paper where none existed on earth, and to make the old embankments heavier, and to increase the expense generally ; and then he was requested to send in his estimate that it would cost fifty thousand dollars a mile. When Mr. Dey found that this part of the road was to be let to parties nt $50,000 per mile, for work which he knew could bo done for $30,000?this difference of 820,000 a mile amounting to two millions of dolla: s on the first hundred miles, and to five millions. on the two hundred and forty-six miles?he resigned his position as chief engineer, with a letter to the president of the road. He closed that letter thus : "My views of the Paciflo road are, perhaps, peculiar. I look upon its managers as trustees of the bouuty of Gongrees. * * * You are, doubtless, informed how dinproportioned the amount to bo paid is to the work contracted for. I need not expatiate on the sincerity of my course, when you reflect that I have resigned tho best position in my profession this country has offered to any man !"

"Two or three feet dec-p I" exclaimed the captain, in tones of withering contempt ; "why, we wouldn't give n piu for a boat here that cooldn't fun on the dew of tht grass." Lord Chancellor Campbell, a few days before his death, met a barrister, and remarked : " Why, Mr. , you are getting as fat as a porpoise." " Fit company, my lord, for the great seal," was the ready repartee. ^ ^ .. ivj - THE B?V01?3!' J?- JAPAN* What It la All About?The Mtate of Affairs . la that Uoantrr* Those who have followed the oourse of affairs in Japan will not bo surprised to karn of the rising of the Samurai, or two Hworded class. An outbreak of this oharaofor L:is long been expected* and did not find the imperial government unprepared. Tiiu incipient rebellion was promptly snbdncd, aa we learn by the dispatch which brought news of the outbreak, and by still more recent dispatches. The eflect will, no doubt, be to strengthen the hands of the liberal Jr ?V f j^uj^iuoiujo viiu luipviuu v& i?r tional army, and consolidate the government. Some long talked el radical reforms will now be introduced, and we may confidently expeot to see the doora of the country thrown more widely open to foreigners and foreign enterpriee. The Japanese are greatly in want of capital to develop their iuterual resources. Tho men who a few years ago effected the Japanese revolution in the mikado's uame, aud who now control the government of Japan, are among the ablest in the country. They represent the popular or radical element, and have had great experience in publio aflairs, aa councilors of the former Daimios or feudal princes. Under the old regime eaoh Daimio governed his feudal province through a provincial council chosen from among his retainers. This council represented the best executive,- judioial, administrative and military talent in the province. These councilors now govern Japan on popular principles, through imperial forms. Okubo, the leading statesman of Japan, and actual prime minister, like all those by whom he is surrounded, was the councilor of a Daimio. Their policy is essentially progressive. Tug anstocratio or corpervative party is profoundly dissatisfied with this policy. Shimadzu Sabnro, the uncle of the young prince of Satsuma, leads the opposition, and represents the dangerous class of the late Samurai. The people of Satsuma swarm in the military and civil offices of the government. On the occasion of the Oorean difficulty, Shimadzu Sabnro mado a great speech in the imperial council, urging immediate war with the Oorea, openly avowing that his chief reason in advocating this policy was for the purpose of giving occupation to the Samurai. The government adopted a peaceful course, and Shimadzu resigned from the council, and eight general officers in the army, all Satsuma men, resigned the same night. The army is ohiefly officered by fellow clansmen of Shimadzu. These events were at the time much commented on by the press of Tokio. The Hochi m t .. _ ? 1 _ 3 il. _ snimoun newspaper, wmcn opposea lae war, had several very strong leaders on the Corenn difficulty, in -which Shimadzn's speech was severely criticised. Shimadzu obstinately opposed the edict against officials having their heads shaved. He was a member of the council of State when the government intimated a desire that officials should wear European dress. The next day he appeared at the council with the hair on the sides of the scalp more firmly gummed up than ever. While bis colleagues sat in high velvet chairs, he sat on a mat, smoked his pipe, and was attended by three coolies?one for his mat, one for his pipe, and one to pull out over his feet the brocaded trousers which train behind a Japanese gentleman of the old noblesse. The days of old Japan are numbered. mi.. : l j. JLiiu uuuiuuti txttuitivma tiro moi ujruig ont. The great feudal lords were shorn of all political power and nine-tenths of their former inoomes when the revolution was made. Oligarchy, aristocracy and hereditary political power then received a blow from which they cannot recover. Thus the democratic element has gained very much in Japan ; and with the dissemination rf "r.uuwiedge and the emancipation of the press, this element is likely to inorease in power and. influence from now forward. The pensions awarded to Daimios by the Stote, when they were stripped of their provinces, amounted in ihe aggregate to $14,000,000, and form by far the heaviest government disbursements, being half as much again as the military expenditure, five timos the cast of the navy, and five times the interest on the national debt. These great lords, the aristocrats of the land, are in the enjoyment of incomes which would be considered princoly in any part of the world. ,The young prince of Satsuma, who is at the head of the most powerful of the clans, gets $4,000,000 o jear. There are some thirty Daimios receiving pensions of over $100,000 per annum each. Some of thbse gentlemen spend fchrir timo end money in foreign travel. Rnvnrnl Agfaihlinhprl thnm^elves abroad. The ex-prince of Hizen is living in London with his family. He is a member of two London clubs, quite fond of society, and mingles froely in all the eooiftl ond theatrical pleasures of the capital. He leturned an income of 8175,000 last year. The young gentleman who, but for the revolution, would have been prince of Awa, is an undergraduate at Oxford. His income is returned at 8125,000 a year. The prince of Kanza enjoys a pension of $4,500,000 per annum. There is in Japan a strong party in favor of reducing these pensions. As the country is now organized, the voice of the people has been able to make itself heard in no uncertain tones on this subject; and a very strong pressure is brought to bear upon Okuma, the finance minister. Money is wanted in every department of government. The army, the navy, the post-office, lighthouses, and railroads require money to keep them up to the requiired standard of European efficiency. Trado is decreasing, exports are falling off, while the growth of the silk trado in Italy and this country is working serious injury to Japan. Taxes are heavy, and immediate relief can only bo obtained by a reduction of the pensions, although the pensions are liable to taxation, and the income tax cut them down to the extent of one-tenth last year. The people are thoroughly democratic. "These pensioners," they say, " do nothing whatever for the money they receive." The feudal lords have had their day ia Japao, nnd nriQfr>prnr>v mnsf, ffivfl wftV in JanftTl. as elsewhero. The Daimios will sumbit gracefully, if not willingly. Half a loaf in better than no bread.?New York Sun. A New England Type of Insanity. The superintendent of the Taunton lunatic hospital thinks he has discovered a New Eugland type of insanity, certainly more positive, clearer cut, and less easily managed, than the majority of cases elsewhere. " It may," ho says, "be a trace of the old Puritan blood, but I think, rather, it is due to the character of our climate, as it soon appears in our foreign population. It is characterized by intensity?used cfl.-v to culminate in Bell's disease, which I have not seen of lato ; it delights ic noise?the crash of glass is music to its ears; it rends its garments, refuses food ?o as often to require the stomach tube, settles into despair so deep thnt it would seem dementia were it not so actively suioidal, and, in acute cases, dies of maniacal exhaustion out of all proportion to that recorded elsewhere."
