THE SILVER CLOUD.
I saw a silver cloud at eventide,
At eventide a little silver cloud;
With outstretched, moveless wings, a paly
dove
She sailed toward the west, and thus she said:
"Ah, joy was mine I He bathed mo in bis
beams,
Ho bathed me in his beams, and all day long
Over a thousand fields, a thousand groves,
My happy shadow floated like a dream.
"Kiss, kiss once more my lips, my pallid lips;
Bring me once more the blush I knew at
mom;
Cast thou thine arms about me, eru I die,
Ere in a mist of tears I melt away!"
While yet she spoke her cloudy pallor changed,
she became a wreath of naming fire
That did to scorn the sober evening star; ?
But ah! she darkened visibly as she went
Slowly she darkened, slowly, till 6he*was
Waiter than ashes or the face of death.
Then came a cold, low wind, and breathed on
her;
She in a mist of tears did melt away.
?John Philip Varley in The Atlantic
? G. Washington us on Aristocrat.
Washington's pompous ways were se>|
verery criticised at this time. His gor
geous, cream-colored coach with its six
horses was talked of, and they said that
it was ridiculous for one who posed as
the great champion of American liberty
to keep men in livery and to own 50C
slaves. There was probably some truth
in this charge. Washington was a great
swell, and he liked to strut about and
have his fellow-men toadying him. He
believed in high honors being paid to the
president of the United States, and h?
receptions as president were of the stiff
est kind. He dressed in the richest oi
clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold
lace, and I doubt not he was a little
proud of his figure, which was tall and
well formed, with the exception of the
chest", which was sunken.
Washington had probably as fine an
establishment iif America as any man in
the country at the time he lived. H<
kept the finest of horses in his stable's,
?ftndhad an army of .liveried servants.
At Mount Vernon he had 100 cdws, and
he entertained like an English lord. He
always had wine on his table, and he
drank several glasses at every dinner,
?His wife was addressed as Lady Wash
ington in those days, and his friends gave
him the title in private life of "your ex
cellency." I have seen manuscript pri
vate letters to Mrs. Washington, and 1
doubt not that during the first adminis
tration of our government she was toad
. ied like a queen. She and the president
had their coat-of-arms, and George
Washington had buttons made, at least
there are such buttons in existence, with
his initials on them. The Washington
family had the finest of china. They
{iked good furniture, and even now. a!
Mount Vernon one might keep up an es
tablishment which would not discredit
the times of to-day.?Cor. Cleveland

A Christening Ercsa for the Baby.
The christening dress of the first-borr
of the young Princess di Galatro C?Ionn?
(formerly Hies Eva Mackay) is perhapi
. the most unique specimen extant of the
finest point d'Alencon lace of grea<
beauty and rarity. The dress, made ai
a loose slip, is. bordered with antique lac<
of a quarter of a yard in width, the re
mainder of the garment being woven t<
correspond, and having the arms of the
Colonna family designed in lace upor
the corsage. The Princess Anna Mural
declared that the dress surpassed ir j
beauty the famous christening robe ol j
the late prince imperial.
The lace is the most superb that hat
been seen in Paris for years. Even the
wedding flounces of the queen regent ol
Spain can not be compared to it. Mrs
Mackay, the mother of the princess, hai
a collection of lace that surpasses any oi
the royal houses of Europe?so it is said
at any rate. She possesses the cele
brated tunic and flounces in poim
d'Alencon manufactured for the Empresf
Eugenie in 1869. This lace was copiec
from a piece originally in possession ol

Coal FormoU in the Arctic Regions.
Commenting on Lieut. Greely's dis
cover}- of coal within the Arctic Circle
in Greenland, Mr. W. Mattieu Williamt
expresses himself as dissatisfied with the
prevailing notion which demands a sub
tropical climate for the formation ol
carboniferous deposits. He has him sell
described the deposition of coal that is ir
actual progress at the prwent time ir

Circle, and believes that similar deposit!

French experiments on the transmis

cheaper to transport goods than power,

How Franco Protects the Public
In awarding the Prix Montyon to M.
Girard, director of the laboratory estab
lished in Paris in 1878 for testing the
quality of food and drink sold in that
city, the. Academie des Sciences takes oc
casion to publish a report which shows
the value of the work done under his su
pervision. Specimens of wine, beer,
cider, milk, chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.,
are examined daily, as also the colors
used for toys, candies, preserves,'etc.,
and pork suspected of containing
trichinae, canned meats, and a variety of
other food supplies. The examinations
are made free of cost when it is only re
quired to know whether an article is
free from adulteration, and any one may
avail himself of the services of the chem
ists to this extent. For analyses showing
proportionate compositions a small
I charge is made. ?
There are twenty inspectors attached
to the laboratory, whose duty it is to
visit cafes, epioeries, boucheries, etc.,
and examine the articles offered for sale.
They are proyided with microscopes,
acids, and other apparatus which enable
them to make most of the tests upon the
ipot, taking to the laboratory only speci
mens of the articles which on this pre
liminary' examination afford evidence of
adulteration. There are twenty-five
qDecial departments, in the laboratory,
each under charge of a cornpetent chem
ist, who confines himself to one class of
articles?this taking milk, that one wine,
another meats, and so on. About 25,
000 samples were analyzed last year, and
the effect of this surveillance during the
seven years of its existence is claimed to
be apparent, not only as regards the pub
lic health, but as an economical measure
in protecting the public against worthless
or inferior articles of food.?Chicago

Freaks of Vegetation in Cnba.
On first visiting Cuba I found myself
astonished at every turn and corner by
freaks of vegetation that were so com
mon there that no one seemed to con
sider them worthy of notice. Here was
a tall palm tree with a trunk bigger at
the top than at the bottom, like an in
verted oil flask or carrot with its point
stuck in the ground. In another place,
clambering over the garden fence, ?were
slender deciduous vines laden with
clumps of fierce, tortuous thorns-thicker
than the main stem of the plant, re
sembling clusters of small buffalo horns
and as hard ?s steel. In the same gar
| den grew a tree about as large as ore of
our northern apple trees, and bearing a
flower of the size of a Muscovy duck,
which it exactly resembled in form,
bill, wings, tail and all, though in color
nearly white, with portions shading off
into, a delicate pink. These monster
flowers either hung by their beaks to
the limbs of the tree or lay scattered in
profusion cn the grass below, where
they resembled a flock ofc water-fowl
swimming in a pond.
I noticed, too, in Cuba, a tendency on
the part of vegetation generally to pro
duce thorns. Several of the larger trees
bristled wit& thsfe i vegetable ? pojnards,,
six inches long, all the way up their
trunks, and I could not help reflecting
sadly that the schoolboy of that land must
have a rather rough time of it in the pur
suit of that juvenile pleasure of climbing
trees. They recalled to my mind a cer
tain Australian ligneous porcupine known
as the puzzle monkey, which is incased
in an armor of thorns, growing with
their points downward in a way calcu
lated to utterly baffle the most astute.?

Exercising in a Gymnasium.
The habit of exercising at a gymnasium
is lik 3 any other habit and should not be
broken off suddenly. I believe that a
man who is accustomed to exercise daily
should let up by degrees, as a sudden ces
sation is likely to do him harm. I used
to exercise a great deal, prqbably an hour
and a half or two hours a day, for years,
and it was nine months after I stopped
before I felt like myself again. Still this
is not an argument against gymnastic
exercise.
Exercise at a gymnasium keeps a man
in good trim all the time. It prevents
the accumulatiou of fat in the intestines
and keeps the respiratory organs perfect.
A man may be in good health and ap
pear strong' and hearty, but may not
have enough of what the boys call "wind"
to last him in an emergency where
strength or endurance is called for. His
recuperative power is not strong either,
a man who exercises gymnastically re
covers quickly from exhaustion and does
not suffer a loss of strength for any great
length of time.?Globe-Democrat Inter

RAPID INCREASE OF INSANITY.
A. Prime Cause of the Alarming State of
Thing*?What the Statistics Show.
The very rapid increase of insanity in
the United States during the last two or
three decades continues to be the subject
of much discussion among alientists and
all those who are concerned in public
charities. That a prime cause of this
alarming state of things is the shipment
j to our shores of the enfeebled and de
fective of other countries is now begin
ning to be understood,
j The statistics of insanity show that, in
I general, the proportion of the insane is
greatest in the older states, where the
foreign population is most numerous,
and it is least where the communities are
new, as, for instance,. in the pioneer
counties of Wisconsin. The Bouth, which
has drawn comparatively little from im
migration, suffers from insanity to a
much less extent than New England and
New York; and it is an established fact
that the negro race is much less liable to
insanity than the white. The average of
insanity in New England is 1 to every
359 of the population; in New York, New
jersey and Pennsylvania, 1 to every 424;
while in the extreme southern states the
average is only 1 to 985.
The west, like the south, is more free
from insanity than the northern sea
board states, the average being one to
every 610 in the interior states, and one
to 750 for the northwestern states. In
the far western states and territories it is
only one out of 1,263, they being settled
by a picked population, whose energy
and soundness makes them pioneers. It
is noteworthy, however, that insanity is
about as frequent in the Pacific states as
in New England, the explanation being
that vice and indulgence prevail to an
exceptional extent among the population
drawn to the Pacific by the mania for
gold. The average in Massachusetts, for
instance, is one to 348; in California, one
to 345. It is also remarkable that the
rate of insanity decreases as we go west
and south of New England, as these av
erages will show; New. England, one to
359; middle states, one to 424; interior
states, one to 610; northern states, one to
750; southern states, one to 629.
The state where the proportion is high
est is Vermont, 1 to 327; and New Hamp
shire comes next, with 1 to 329. We are
at a loss to understand why insanity is so
frequent in the District of Columbia, the
average given being 1 to 189; but perhaps
the large average in Vermont and New
Hampshire may in part be due to the cir
cumstance that those states receive th<
refuse of Canadian poor-houses, they
having a much better organized system
of charitable relief than the Dominion
can boast of; and it is undeniable that
some of the very worst of our immigra
tion comes from over the Canadian bor
der.?New York Sun.

Three Centuries of Artistic Cooking.

France, with her corrupt and effeminate
followers, a system of epicureanism thai
had been confined to Italy. Paris then
became the center of artistic cooks and
cooking, and has continued such evei
since?a period of more than three centu
ries. It has taught so much of the modern
world to cook, lias sent so many of ite
cooks abroad on high culinary missions,
that other cities can now compete with
it in what it is prone to believe its ex
clusive specialty.?Chicago Herald.
Lighting a Fire on a Damp Day.

simple way of avoiding the disagreeable
smoke and gas which always pours intc

heater, or fireplace on a damp day. Put

lighting them, ignite a handful of papei

Dark-Shelled Eggs and White.
A Boston writer declares it to be a
matter of fact rather than of fancy that
there is more nutriment in a dark than a

shelled egg is like milk of liine-water,
while that of dark eggs has substance, is
gelatinous in appearance, and will hold
together if lifted a fow inches, and, it is
claimed, is one-third more valuable for
any culinary purpose.?Exchange.

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
Receives Three Hundred und Ten Lashes
from Outraged Citizens.
The quiet of the town of Wayncsboro
was .turned into excitement Thursday
when a pistol shot was iieard and a
negro boy was seen running down the
street with a well known gentleman
after hini, who had just iired an ill
directed shot at him. No one but the
outraged mau kuew the circumstances
uutil after the villainous scoundrel had
appearently made good his escape. lie
was subsequently caught, only to remaiu
iu custody for a moment. The negro
boy. quickly pulled a pistol and flashed it
in the face of the guard, who to save
himself, caught the pistol and let go his
hold"ou the uegro. who took advantage
of this and again escaped. The outraged
father came upon the scene at this time,
and stated to the guard that the wretch
bad attempted to outrage bis little live
year old daughter. By this time the
negro had been run- down by another
party, who did not know the extent of
his .horrid crime, but had only heard
that he had performed some obscene
and.. indecent act in the presence of a
white girl, and the indignant crowd of
white and colored men determined to
flog him for it. He was accordingly
stripped; put on a Spanish buck and
given 310 lashes with a buggy trace.
It i'sTiot probable that the whfpping will
soon he forgotten by him or the specta
tors. . The boy was told that the crime
he had committed deserved death, but
that it had been determined to let him
off with what he had already received,
and he was asked to tell the truth about
the affair. He then confessed that he
had attempted an outrage upon the
child but was interrupted by the ap
proach', of some one to the corn crib,
where he had taken the ?hild to satisfy
his fiendish passion. The negro, Joe
Johnson, is about nineteen years of age.
He was put back into jail, and the talk
of lynching increased and the angry and
excited crowds gathered about in groups.
Those interested in the law and good
name of the city determined that it
would be safest to send the prisoner to
Augasta. Consequently Deputy Sher
iff W. E. Zom was delegated to bring
the prisoner to Augusta, which he did,
arriving here at 4 p. m. yesterday after
noon. The boy was unable to walk,
but was carried to the jail and turned
over to Jailor Collins for safe keeping.?

THE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso
ciation is marvellous in the annals of life
insurance enterprise. Its name has be
come a tower of strength, and has been
well earned by the untiring devotion of
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity lias provoked attacks
which arc best repelled by a frank and full
exhibit of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July 1,1885, this shows a
gain of no less than ?13 214,580 over that
of, the coiTCsponping period last year.
In June alone* its mortuary receipts ex
ceeded 8250,000, of which over 8(30,000 went
into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to ?425,
000, and is employed for three purposes
only?to pay death claims, if any should
occur in excess of the American Fppcriencc
Mortality Tables; to make good any poss
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to be apportioned among those who
have been members of the Association fif
teen years, etc. As the first and second
contingencies named are not likely to arise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. It is full of
other good points, among which may be
mentioned the economical salary list?less
than ?50,000 for carrying on the whole work
of the vast institution?and payments to
widews and orphans at the rate of over
