A London journal quotes an unnamed correspondent, who says that a pree entation at Queen Victoria's drawing room requires an outlay of at least three hundred and seventy-five dollars. "I have been to Buckingham palace," she says, "for three such functions, and I never did it for loss, which is more than my wedding finery cost. There are women who have done it for less, but it's a pinch, and I shouldn't like to try. "You see, you can't go in a gown that has ever been worn before, nor in a costume that is not made of the very best materials.

Having this conviction firmly fastened in your mind, consult some French dressmaker of note in London.

If you are an un married woman, anywhere on the sun ny side of sixty, you wear white. Debutantes look at tulle, and silk, and las, and wreaths of French flowers, silver embroidery, pearls and ribbons, ama middle-aged matrons ponder over velvet, purple, red, black, etc. Youpg parried persons go in for the heavier white brocades or brocades with col ored flowerings.

Not So Bad as It Would Have Been Had York's Old Namnes Survived. Now that New York's name is under discussion, it is well to be thankful that the contraction of old York's original Eurewic took place before the qualify ing "New" was added, for if Yorkisbad, New Eurewic would be unbearable, says the Sun. York's still earlier name of Eboracum would have gone no bet ter with "New," and her Celtic name of Caer Ebroc would have been even worse than any of the others with a third element prefixed. The syllable "wic," which has almost disappeared in the contraction of Eurewic to York, is rather the Saxon wie, meaning an abid ing place, than the Danish wick, mean ing a station for ships, surely an ap propriate suffix for so great a seaport as the chief commercial city of the new world. New York is really no worse off, however, in the matter of its name than a good many other cities are or have been. York, with or without the New, is better than Mudtown, which is no un fair translation of Lutetia, the ancient Romw Zne for Paris, bestowed upon the city lof fte-isii beatins of iUi mud -oases.

Brussels is conjectured to mean either swamp or thicket, and Rome may be merely the early Latin equivalent of the crossroads from the fact that the local lines of travel met at the rorum.

Bombay is only the Portuguese .Bno ,Bahia, good bay, a modest enough name for an oriental city, since ,the names of such usu lly mean a great deal that is pretentious or splendid.

In connection with the cock-sure statement of Mr. Howells, says thew Medical *Record. that the present race' was never so healthy and strong as now, it is interesting to read the fol lowing paragraph written by Dr. T. 8. Clouston, superintendent of the Morningside asylum, Scotland. He says: - J.:b. "One terrible .bman disease, with mental symp-l+ certainly in creasing. * **That malady might be described as a breakdown of the great center of the mind and naotiozn in the brain.

Among seven state asylums, to which 1,942 patienta' were admitted in 1890, there were 60 cases of general paresis, or a little over 3 per cent. lIf per cent. be the general ratio of this dis ease in the state of New York, then the total number of paretics among the 1,000 insazge would be about $40. As a matter of .fact, the nmber is greaterg because' tbe ppotion-of ithis dises'se is argr i th Ne Tok nd.Eings county asylums than in those of the stale at large. But even if there were but ,000 eases of general paresis . among the 100,000 insane people of this coun try it would be .the extraordinary evi dence of the development of a disease which in the last century was certainly not known even if it did exist. RIDING OVER AN EARTHQUAKE. Novel Train Experience of an Anserican .Traveler ha Turkey. - Riding on a train over g'ro~nd shaken by earihquake is the novel 'experiesce of a Constantinople correspoodent 'of the Cincinnati Tribune. Ie thus de scribes it: "All at -once the air grew still, an oppressive silence seemed to hang on vale and hill and all the people stopped short. It seemed to me that we ran ip to a bad piece of track or that our train had suddenly quickened its pace. I saw a Scrvian woman with a child inl her arms stagger, stop, take thle water jug from her head and hug her fright bay to her naked breast. Ilun of yoke cattle were lowing, bur were braying and the whole 'of sheep were crying on tant downs. Meantime the. emed to increasc, and, al ~gh 'were not making more than 7 n hour, we appeared to y. . stood still and stared at teheavexn- A Mohammedan slid $0iaEoII~a paW - outhi Trayerv jse6~his- -d Meeda and pr~i-a ' hitin'ossed therg selves, and as often as I stole a glance at the driver I found him looking at me.

T~e,things. I 'beheld -were all so 10 naturael that I felt my head swiuiming. Glancing ahead I saw the straight track take on curves and shake thema out again, resembling a running snake. The valley had become a narrow gulch, and from the near hills arose great clouds of smoke, ais from a quarry when the; shots ,go ol!. .. The fireman, who kid'- beea ibusy a$ tM 'fupa.ce. door', sfocid 4)' now andi,gized at' thej' driver, who pressed his 'left h~and over his eyes, then took It of and tried to see', but made no attempt to check the speed of the flying train. As a drunken cowboy dashing down a straight street sways in his saddle-es a wounded bird reels through the air-did this mad monster of a locomotive swing and swim over the writhing rail. "Suddenly a great curve appeared in front of us. This time the stoker, who had left off firing, saw it, and made the elg%*ihe cross.: Again the driver hid growing dizzy tr-ying to understani. We could hear and feel the-engine wheels rise and fall on the t.wisting rail with a deafening. sound. At vast she settled down and began to glide away as a beat glides down a running stream. 'What is it?' I asked of the French fireman. "'Tremblement de terre.' he said, shaking himself violently and fainting to the floor, and then I understood that we had been riding over an earthquake. The driver was either too proud aud brave to stop, or too frightened to be able to shut oil steam; 1 don't know. which." - OUR TWO LANGUAGES. One Used in converation, the Other in WrItten Engl'.h. A writer Ia the Educational Review prefaces an artiele on English litera ture in the college by the'declaration: "It is now, I think, generally admitted that the first princile of rhetoric is, write as you speak. The pedantic, de clamatory, Latinized diction that pre vailed in literary circles a hundred years ago is no longer the standard kin 's English. In order to write well, ssary Wst to speakc well-that is, t paak n rily, 'orreetly and 5;Ysa cleveiAnd cunning, as well as cordpletc beggtiig oft'te whole ques tion. -he assumption that we, Eng lish and Americans, speak as we write, and that the ordinary rules of rhetoric and grammar run througir and under lie oral, as well as written language Is an assumption which cannot be verified by evidence. The man who says "don't" and "can't" and "isn't" and who talks about "hin and me" when be means "he and I,' or who says "done" for "did" or "seen" for "saw," can take his pen or.pnciwl in band an(. write tng lish which is xinexceptionable from the standpoint oi person. mood or ten4e, the fact being that written language is a refinement and, Vossibly, an improve mont on spoken language, but at the same thne as different fprom it as the dialect of Yorkshire fi-om that of Corn wall, or the talk of Yankeeland from the patois of the uplands of North Carolina or the lowlands of Louisiana. The writer of the article in 'qtiestion hak fallen into the rhetorical error of, as the vernacular has it, putting the cart before the horse. Every written language, protected and fenced in as it may be by rhetorical fences and hedges, each of which is bristling with rules and safeguarded by exceptions to those rules. is only a development from a spoken language, and whether it be an improvement or not is an open ques tion. At all events it must be apparent to every student of language or phil ology that-we- have, at least in. Eng lish, two .ebparate -and- distinct -lan guages, and that if we allould-attempt to follow the dictum of the writer in the Educational Review, and write as we speak, our contributions to current literature would be speedily side tracked into the editor's waste-paper basket. It might be 'better for the genius of the English language, and fqr th'opreservation of its integrity, that we should speak. as we write, but to alopt the "converse proposition and write as we speak seems the very climax of absurdity to those who know and appreciate the distinction between English "as she is wrote" and "as she is spoke." Chess ina England. The' Danes and Scandinavians first brought chess to England when re turning from some of their voyages to Byzantium. There is a mention of chess in a chronicle relating to the court of King Pepin of France, 70 4 A D., which says: "In the fourteenth year of IKing Pepin he bestowed pre cous gifts on the ecclesiastic~s, such as a sat of crystalline chessmen, varione gems and a large sum of gold." SUBMARINE MINING. An Enterprise with Somie Novel Features in New South Wales. It is proposed to carry into eff'ect a project which aims at bringing from ar below the lowest depths of Sydney harbor, New South Wales, the coal which geologists had predicted would be found there, and which has actually been tested by diamond-drill borings. Transport, in a recent issue, contains a very flattering account of the scheme now being floated on the London mar ket from which the following par tiulars are obtained: Importanit coal fields have beep de veloped both north and south of Sydney-at Newcastle and Bulli-but up to the present the interrebidig area has been left practically utitouched, although plainly shown on the govern ment geological maps of forty years ago. The unquestionable advantages whieh would follow the opening of coal mines in the very heart of the eapital of the colony have led to the formation of a company, and induc our contemporary to take a most sanguine view of the outlook. Sydney is an im portant shipping port, where the lines o many steamship companies con verge, .ed the coal of the bed in ques tioni is in dema'nd for bunker use and exporL ' The borings were made unsdor the superintendence of the mniners' depart ment ef New South Wales, partly on account 'g? geological interests~ and partly with the very practical ulterior view of raising revenue. The seam ws found within 80 feet of the depth predicted by the geologists in a bore hole 2,700 feet deep. For 1,50 feet the borings passed throngh a compact sandstone, claimed to be impermeable to water. The seam itself is 10 feet 8 inches thlek, of which 8 feet is clean coal free from sand. The shafts to be sunk will be within 200 feect of deep water, So that the situation will be unique, the saving on cost of transpor tation from the nearest mines now workixng being about 75 cents to $1 a, ton. The parent company has secured a surface site of small extent, but has concessions over 1,400 acres below grond (and water), and it is expected that several other collieries will be started, for which there is said to be roomn. There is nothing extraordinary In mining under water, 3.s implied in the statements. This has been done on the Cornish coast and in the copper and iron mines of Michigan at Silver islet, Lake Superior, but the opening, of gratoolieries iu a large shipping port, withas deliveryv from the shaft mouth directly into #ess5els alongside, is some thing which only ti e mines of Wash ington and British olumbia can rival. It 1s also p'roposed to utilize the smaller coal, screened froma the bunker coal, for a large electric installation and also to make coke andl establish local smelt in'g r1#s_____ THE DOG NEVER SPOKE AGAIN. And the Ventriloquist I$eceive'd Three IHundred Donlars for imr. There was once a ventriloquist so hai e wgs obliged to travel on town to town to.gave expense, muh ' er the mnanner of thceentie mn ot venture in Grimm's tales, says IarperMd Young People. One day he was joined;qD-he road by a dog as for sken~ asliidiself but who seemed de-' sirous of becoming his companion. They journeyed together to thea next town and outered the tavern tired, hun gry and penniless. Not being troubled with the inconvenient refinement which comes from a long line of gentle an cestors, the. man had developed the quality known as cheek, so he and the dog sat down to eat a supper for which they could not pay. The room was full of loungers and the stranger took a conspicuous seat. "What will you have?" asked the only waiter the place eiployed, and the order embraced nearly everything on the bill of fare. "Blut I want something for my dog, too," he added. "Ask him what he will have." The waiter muttcred some thing about "Whatcher giving us," so tW stranger said: "What, don't you ie to?. Well, iruno, will you have bei-or fish?" "Beef every time," said Bruno, look ing with mild brown eyes at the waiter. "And'what do you drink?" "Water, thank 3 ou," said Bruno. By this time the landlord and every one in the place were eager with sup presr.ed wonder and gathered about to hear the dog talk. The ventloquist feigned indiiference by eating with avidity, while the land lord was evidently considering some thing. Ims cogitation resulted in his oflering the stranger three hundred dollars for his wonderful talking dog. The ventriloquist appeared to hesitate a moment, then said, abruptly: "Yes, you may have him for three hundred dollars." When the money was paid ;nd the ventriloquist was about to leave he tarned to the dog, patted him affection ately, and said: "Good-by, old fellow; you've been a good friend to me." "You are no friend of mine," re turned the dog, "to sell me to another master. As you were mean enough to serve me such a trick I'll have revenge. I'11 never speak another word as long as I live." The ventriloquist then made o with all possible haste. Capped the CII-oax. An exchange tells that a good story was heard the other day o a father and mother who were trying to find names for their twin babies, who, by the way,were girls. It was decided that the father must name thmn. After casting about and finding no names that exactly suited him he determined to end the strain on his mind and named them Kate and Duplicate. In the course of time another p.ir of twins came and they were boyn. This was the husband's opportuiity to get even and he wante'd his wife to christen the boys. imagine his fcelings when the mother one day told him she had named them Pete and iepeat. But when the third pair came the father grew fright ened and r.am'l them Max and Clima. STARVING ON BEEF TEA. Likely to Disturb Many Old-Time Chore t"hed Deluslous. It is generlly believed that beef tea and animal broths of all kinds are nourishing. The most reeent medical authorities assure us that this is a mis take. In order to combat what it calls "The Beef-Tea Delusion," Modern Med icine publishes an article consisting largely of quotations from a high mod ern authority. We reproduce several Paragraphs below: "The late Dr. Austin Flint remarked on one occasion that thousands of pa tients have been starved to death while being Led on animal broths, beef tea, ctc. No error could be greater than the notion very commonly held by the laity, aend still quite too largely enter tained by the members of the medical profession, that beef extracts, beef tea, bouillon, animal broths, etc., are pecul larly nourishing in character. We can adduce no better evidence to the con trary than is afforded by the following paragraphs from 'Dlunge's Physiological and Pathological Chermistry,' one of the latest and most reliable authorities: "'We must guard against supposing that meat bonulon possesses a strength ening and nourishing influence. In re gard to this, the most delusive notions are entertained not only by the general public, but also by medical men. "'Until quite recently the opinion was held that bouillon contained the most nutritive part of meat. There was a confused idea that a minute quan tity of material--a plateful of bouillon cazD be made from a teaspoonfulof meat extract-could yield an effectual source of nourishment, that the extractives of meat were synonymo.us with coneen trated food. "'Let as inquire what aubstanece could render bouillon nutritious. The only article of food which meat yields to boiling water is gelatine. It Is well known that albumen is coagulated in boiling, the glycogen of meat is rapidly converted into sugar, and this again into lactic acid. The qnutityof gela tine is, moreover, very ~ al; for a watery solution which contains only one per cent. pf gelatine coagulates on cooling. Such ebagulation may ocetir in very strong soups and gravies, but never in bouialon. Douillon, therefore, centains much less than one per cent. of gelatine. In preparing extract of meat, the quantity of gelatine is re duced as nntoh as possible,- because it-is in a high degree liable to putrefactive chajiges, and therefore likely to Inter fere with the preservation of the prep aration. The other constituents of bouillon are decomposition prod nets of foodstuffs--products of the oxidations and decompositions which take place in the animal organism. They cannot be regarded as nutri tious, because they are no longer capa ble of yielding any kinetic energy, or at most such small amount that it is of no importance whatever. "'Nevertheless, until the most re cent times, ereatin and creatlnin,which are among the chief constituents of meat extract, were regarded as the source of energy in muscle. This asser tion was sh)own to be untrue by the re searches of Meissner and of Nolt, who proved conclusively that creatin and ereatinin are exereted in the urine twenty-four hours after thtejr absorp~ tion, w'ithout loss. A material which Is neither oxidzed nor decomposed can not form a soin-ce of enerq y, apart from the fact that the~ quagtinty of creat~n and creatinin which Is absorbed In bouillon fs so mall that it could not possibly be serion~sly regarded as the source of muscular energy.'

After her death the country house and her fiat In the Rlue de la Boctie were searched without anything being found; she was not known to have any banker, and the authorities were conm ing to the conclusion that they were the victims of a mystification, when some one opened an old warming-pan without a handle, stowed away under a sink, and found the sum there in gold, banignotes and bonds.

All successful speculator4 operate on a regular system. It is a well-known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States who, by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year. ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up to $50,000 to $100,000 or more by those who invest a few thousand. It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small in vestments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who thoroughly understand systematic trading. Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles up enormously in a short time. Write for Convincing Proofs. also our Manual on suocesisfnlspeculation and our Datly Market Report, full of money-making pointers. All Free. Our Manual explains margin trading fully.
