T" ' ' ' ' British Royal Commission has investigated Pasteur's method of treating hydrophobia and declares it to be one of the most important medical discoveries Of this xsentury. A Chicago citizen talks of transplanting one of the big California trees to his summer residence near the city. The one he has selected is 300 feet high and ninety-eight feet in circumference. It is estimated that the transportation will cost him $18,000. The weight of the leviathan is about 40,000 pounds. Many of the men who took claims on tho Crow Creek reservation in Dakota, under the Arthur proclamation, have put in large crops thereon and intend to liarvest them, -while the Indians declare tlicy will harvest those crops themselves. Over a million forest trcw have been set out this spring by the settlers. Another case showing the commuuicability of contagious diseases by clothing is reported from Bath, Mc., where a girl had scarlet fever at a boardingschool. After recovery she returned home, and a trunk containing the clothing she wore while sick was put away in the garret. Six months later two little children were playing in the garret, and opening the trunk, took out some of the clothing. In a week both were taken verg ill with the disease, and one died. There was no other persons ill with scarlet fever in the community. The extreme richness of the milk of the reindeer that feed on the wild mosses of Sweden, has led to an examination of the moss as an article of food. These researches have resulted in the establishment of a number of moss dealers in Russia and Sweden, and a prosperous and growing interest has been developed. The moss employed yields, on an average, as much alcohol as good grain, and three times as much as potatoes. The supply is practically inexhaustible, as it isspread over vast tracts extendingfrom the Baltic to Behring Straits. r Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know that it is more than doubled by taking another at night also. The way to get the better of the bilious system, without blue pills or quinine, is to take one, two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, in as much ice water as makes it pleasant to drink without sugar, before going to bed; in the morning, on rising, at least a half hour before breakfast, take the juice of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear tha system of humor bile with emciency without any of the weakening effects of calomel or Congress water. People should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear. English sparrows have become such a nuisance in New Jersey that th;y are hunted regularly. The professional hunters usually perform their work at night, in the vicinity of hayricks, where sparrows pass the night. The method pursued in catching them, which is known as bat-fowling, requires the presence of four sportsmen. One carries a long heavy stick, with which he beats the sides of the rick, and starts the game. Another bears a lantern at the end of a long pole, toward which the birds fly when awakened from sleep. The other two hold close against the roosting haunt of the birds a wide-mouthed net, into which the sparrows dash, bewildered by the noise and dazzled by the light. The report of the work of the life-saving service for last year, which has recently been ipsued, shows that during the year 1885 there were 371 disasters to vessels within the field ot the life-saving service. The total value of property involved amounted to $4,634,380, and of this amount only property valued at $1,254,797 was lost. The number of human beings imperiled by these disasters was 2,439, and of these only eleven were lost, while 568 shipwrecked persons were given shelter and succor at the live-saving stations on the coast. The report presents these details: In addition t.n riprsnna onvnd from vessels, thirty-seven others were rescued who would probably have perished without the help of the life-saving crews. Eighteen of these were taken from the water into which they liai falfen from wharves, piers, etc.; ten from isolated cribs and conduits, from which they were in imminent peril of being swept by the waves, and nine from houses in danger of being washed away by inundation. The investigations held in each case of loss of life show that in no instance were the life-saving crews at fault, and that the fatality was beyond human prevention. Of the eleven persons who perished, one, a boy, was swept away and drowned through recklessly climbing out of the breeches buoy and attempting to hold on by the sling while being drawn ashore from a wreck; eight were lost by the breaking up of their vessel on an outlying shoal beyond reach of the apparatus, the terrific surf and sea rendering boat service impossible; one _ 1 J.J a ?

What they want is good local lies and blood-curdling senCflt.'Anu The dangerous custom prevalent in Oriental countries of allowing madmen and lunatics to roam about free, in conscquence of the superstition that they are sacred and under the special protection of the Divinity, has just been attended with unfortunate results at Beyrouth in Syria. A madman residing with his parents killed his father, while the old man was asleep, completely severing the head from the bod)7. When asked for an explanation of his conduct, he stated that he proposed hiding the head in order to see if his father would be able to find it on waking up. In conversation with a New York Mail and Express reporter, an authority at Fulton market said: "The superior flavor of Welch or Highland mutton is be}rond all doubt due to the aromatic plants which abound on the pasturage of these hills, and on which the sheep feed. The hills in Wales arc thickly covered with wild thyme, while those in the Highlands are full of lady's mantle aud other aromatic herbs which are seldom, if ever, found in other pastures. This is a hint of nature's own giving, which the farmer who iroes in for sheen misinn u r - - o or dairying cannot afford to dispise . in these times of hard competition. The aromatic herbs may be no less nutritious than clover or rye grass, but they nrc just as needful to the formation of a perfect pasturage ns the other varieties of plants. For this reason they should be grown in nil pasturages. They arc easy of cultivation, and will grow in the worst ground, but some arc of course better suited to certain kinds of soil than others. Parsley, lovagc, cumin, coriander, carrayway, angelica and wild fennel delight in loamy soils, wild thyme, rock rose, hysop, sage, savory and horehound in dry, poor soils, and peppermint in moist soil. All these plants nrc obtainable, and all of tlicm arc easily propagated from seeds." White Elephants. Oriental poets and historians have compared the fairness of the white elephant to the brilliant purity of the snow; but this is a license, and an exaggeration. Some experts in natural history acccpt the white elephant as merely an albino, the color of which is described as a pink white, to be aptly compared to the nose of a white horse, while others are inclined to regard the animal alternately as a leper. Sir Einerson Tenncut incidentally defines the white elephant as one which exhibits tho^e flesh-colored blotches which occasionally mottle the skin of this huge pachyderm chiefly about the head and extreme tics. The front of the trunk, the tips of the cars, the forehead, and occasionally the legs, are thus diversified with stains of a yellowish tint,inclining to pink. "These" says Sir Einerson, "are not natural, nor are they hereditary, for they are seldom exhibited by the younger individuals in si ncru, out appear to be the result of eruptive affection, the irritation of which has induced the animal in its uneasiness to rub itself against the rough bark of the trees, and thus abrade the cuticle. This is confirmed by the fact that the scar of the ankle wound, occasioned by rope on the legs of tlioso which have been captured by noosing, presents precisely the same tint when thoroughly healed." Even in an example of the utmost perfection of its quality Sir EmerBon Tennent "apprehends that the tint of a white elephant is little else than a flesh color, rendered somewhat more conspicuous by the blanching of the skin and the lightness of the colorless hairs with which it is sparsely covered.?London Society. Canary Birds. Several years ago, when living with my sister in Boston, one of my daily pleasures was to whistle and talk to her canary birds; the birds and I were on terms of the most intimate relationship. We whistled in the friendliest, if not the most entertaining, way. After an absence of two years or more from Boston and my pets, I returned for a short visit, arriving at her home after "gas light" in the evening, when the IltflA fpllnwo wai*a oclAAn nn tlinir tvirnlmo I never for a moment thought of going to wake them up at that time in the evening, just to see if they remembered their old friend, but I had not said moro than a half a dozen words, in an ordix nary conversational tone of voice, when "Dicky" pulled his head out from under his wing and began to chirp in a right lively manner, and, before I could recover from my feeling of gratitude and delight, the little fellow was singing with all his might a song of ingenious pleasure.

A PHASE OF CITY LIFE. It may be questioned if any city in world can compare with New York in cosmopolitan characters. Like every great metropolis, it has its French, German, Irish, Jewish and Italian quarters. Unlike most, it has colonics of Russians, negroes, Swedes, Bohemians, Hungarians, and even Turks. And still more unlike the great capitals of Europe, it has an oriental clement varying from tea to twenty thousand in number. This element in New York is made up of sailors, cooks, peddlers, clerks, and occasionally tradesmen and merchants. They arc brought together by the mighty dollar, and usually remain in Gotham until they have secured what seems to be a snug sum and to their faroff fellow-countrymen a fortune. The Chinese preponderate and already have a settlement of their own in Mott street. After the Chinese come Japanese, Javanese, Hindus, Maoris, Hawaiians, and Ijlisf'flrs Tn nnn lornn I-innr(l!n? I *?*o~ ""aiM.uy I 011 Water stieet no less than 12 Asiatic languages are spoken; in another on Baxter street the proprietor has on his business card: "English, Chinese, Manila, Japanese, Danish, Hindustan;, Cochincse, and French spoken here." These eastern races herd rather than live together. Rent in their own land is so cheap that they cannot bear the high rates of this country, For this reason tlicy will crowd ten and even twen- j ty persons into a room usually occupied by two Americans. By co-operating similarly in buying and preparing food, they succeed in reducing the cost of living to 20 cents a day. It is easyv there- i fore, to see how upon $2 a day wages or profits one of them can amass $1500 in a few years, and with it buy a small farm j in the frugal east. The homes of these people are chiefly in the 4th and 6th wards?Water, Cherry, Oliver, Baxter, and Pell streets beinir o their favorites?and comprise both boarding and lodging houses. The proprietors of some of these arc quite rich. Chin-Chin, a Cochinese, is worth $40,000; Akwah, $10,000, and La Cruz, $15,000. These boarding houses are of one general type. You pass through a dark hallway or plunge down a gloomy cellar stair and find yourself in the ante-room or office. It has a small desk or counter behind which either the proprietor or a clerk perpetually sits, a few chairs, and a pile of trunks, boxes and barrels. Against the walls are shelves and cupboards, on and in which are the goods in demand by oriental races. To one familiar with life in Cathay most of the articles are familiar. Dried dragon fish from the Japan seas, bamboo tips from Cochin-China and Siam, brown tobacco from Corea and yellow from Formosa, opium from India and Hong Kong, has heesh from Calcutta and Singapore, ginseng root, preserved ginger, and Manilla confections, are but a few of tlio many wares which supply the boarding-houso keeper with a profit of seldom less than 100 per cent. Behind the office is the main livingroom. This is generally a long apartment. of 20 by 40, whoae walls are lined with bunks three deep. These bunks nre sometimes separated by partitions as on shipboard, but are generally deep shelves running all around the room. 1 With sepurate bunks the room described accommodates fifty lodgers o*- hoarders; with continuous shelves alxrtit eighty. In the middle of the room are chairs, tables, and generally more or less luggage of tho guests. In some of the low cr grade cstabJ'^hmcnts where hygiene and the board of health arc bid defiance to, garbage and dirt are piled up in the center of t\* living-room until a miniature "East river dump" ig produced. In these bunks the lodgers lit? off day or night and frequently day and aiglit, according to their vocations. Tobacco, opium, and hasheesh consume all their energies and convert them for the time being into almost veritable corpses, [t is no uncommon sight to see at noon at uruzs notei in isaxtcr street or Quonp Pat's in Parle street as many as thirty persons lying in a dead stupor. To the rear of the living-room is the .titcbcn and work-room." The furniture is painfully simple, and consists usual It of range or cooking-stove, a charcoal j RHRB\V'%; :>y s ";*? i brazier, a chopping-block, table, and i few culinary utensils. Here the meal are prepaied and the crude opium o commerco converted into a smoker' paste. Here also in the early mornin* each guest takes his tub bath and waslie ' his daily supply of linen and cotton. Life begins in these strange caravan l series at 0, when the proprietor or clerl opens the front door and sends out foi the breakfast material. These compris< rice, fish, pork, bread, and vegetables. The lodcrers next nut in an Jinnnarsinrw u 1 "IT 1 | crawling out of their bunks, still drowsj I with sleep or sleep-giving drugs. A pail i of water and a coarse rag in the kitcliet soon restore the circulation of the bod] and fit one and all for the morning meal. This is made of the articles described, but cooked in ways very differ, ent from those employed in civilizcd circles. The rice is plain boiled, the list boiled or stewed and served with an aromatic sauce in which ginger, cloves, and red pepper are prominent factors; the pork and vegetables are chopped into thin picccs and sewed together. The drinks employed are hot and cold tea, and sometimes minute quantities ol 1 strong arrack or rice brandy. Aftei breakfast many of the lodgcr.s depart foi their daily work. Among these earlj birds are cigar-makers, clerks, peddlers, and shipping runners. Those who remain are usually seamen, merchants, gamblers, and agents. These after their repast light a cigar or cigarette, opium oi hasheesh, and take "solid comfort" for an hour or more. Those who have literary tastes lie down in their bunks and read, for, strange to say, most orientals assume a recumbent attitude when rend. ing or studying; those who desire excitement resort to dominoes and other games of chance, while the majority simply smoke and "swap stories." At noon a second meal is served similar to breakfast, but including besides soups and stews, in which macaroni and vermicelli are chief features. At 5 o'clock dinner is given. It is like its predecessors in the articles served, on'y there is more of them and all are more highly spiced and seasoned. House-cleaning | and bed-making occur usually between breakfast and lunch, and are very primitive in character. The beds as described are bunks or shelves covered wi th white Canton matting and the pillows wooden footrests. The mau of all work simply sponges of! bed and pillow alike with a sponge dipped in water containing a little chloride of lime or eau de javelle, and allows the heat of the room to dry them off. This novel way of making beds has one advantage. It disinfects room and inmate and destroys whatever vermin there may be about. In the evening the guests resort, one after one, to narcotics, and at midnight nearly all arc sound asleep. No sight is more impressive or fearful than one of these living-rooms at 10 or 12 p. m. The dark floor and ceilings, the gloomy and grimy furniture, the single lamp, flickering and smoking on the table, the silence, and eveywhere the bunks, each containing a man court, ing slumber through some narcotic drug make up a strange picture. You enter the apartment and each inmate turns, towards you?the Javanese fiercely and swiftly, the Hindu curiously and slowly, and the Cochincse with the j * 1-1* * juiuiirgj ui uuacu. jwery iace belongs to an unfamiliar or unknown race; every article is a sealed book. A word from the proprietor and the eyes leave your face and resume their former occupations. Here and there at times arc attempts at ornament. The black statue of Rama, worshipped in Ceylon, the bronze image of Buddha, the allegorical portraits of Health, Plenty, and Strength of Confucius, the crucifix of European faith, and even the sharks' and tigers' teeth of the Malay, are attached to the wall or displayed on some fragmentary mantelpiece. The proprietor of one of these place9 said: "It dosen't cost much to live. I can board a man for $1.75 a week?per; haps even less. I don't make much money on my board, but do on tobacco, opium, and hasheesh. My folks drink a very little; not so much as 10 cents a day. When they 'go off on a spree' they order a fashionable din ner and eat all they can hold. Then they smoke five shells of opium [about two ounces] and sleep for twenty-four hours. How many houses are there like mine? No one just like it or so good, but about thirty in the same business." Five other proprietors made the same remark. Chicago, New York.

The manner of wearing tlie bridal veil now is copied directly from royalty. Every one is familiar with the arrangement of Queen Victoria's ever-present veil, and in this manner do the brides of to-day fancy wearing them. It is bunched slightly on the top of the eoilTure, form ing u coronet or cap, unci thcncc falls back over the train. This arrangement requires a skilful band, and is generally intrusted to a milliner's manipulation. It is becoming to most faces, but does away with the traditional use of the veil I which lias always been to cover the modest face of the maiden, it being an old-time custom always to lift it as soon as the ceremony was performed. The bridal veil then was full of significance, now it is merely an ornament.?New York World. Faihlon* lit Fitrnaoln. Parasols this season are unusually varied, and some of the stj-les are exceeding novel and attractive. In common with the rest of the toilet, ribbon plays an important part in their adornment, while lace, guazc and net are used in a variety of ways. Some of the parasols have a full ruching of net around the top, and full folds are brought down along the ribs and eauglit in at the tips. Others are covered with loosely-plaited crape or net, and still others have the lace covering shirred around the top, whence it falls below the silk in full, loose folds.draood at one Ride with lnnn? ? and ends of ribbon, and showing the silk beneath. The en-tout-cas is in demand this season, as it is large en- . ^h to afford protection from a sudden sn^ ?ver and sufficiently attractive to be used as a parasol. Velvet, foulard, pongee and sateen are all used as covering for the many new shapes. The sticks are often very elaborate, and are generally longer than those of last season, thus serving as a walking stick when the parasol is closed ; the ferrules arc of sicel and do not suffer by contact with the pavement. Some parsols have two large lace handkerchiefs laid one over the other, forming eight points, and have a deep fall of lace underneath.?JYeeo York Comvicrcial. \\oina 11 ' Beit Friend. A hairpin is a woman's best friend. It fits a multiplicity of uses and she is never without one. If her hair is short you can depend upon it that in a recess of her purse or a pocket of her reticule you will find the hairpin. If she buttons her shoes she uses her hairpin, and who ever saw a woman button her gloves with anything else? If her head itches, does she scratch it with her finger? Nonsense I She whips out a hairpin and rclcavcs herself. Suppose a nickle has dropped between the bars of the wooden foot grate in the street csr. Does she soil her fingers as a man would, and then not get it? Certainly not. Out comes the hairpin, and the coin is lifted out without trouble. If her shawl pin is lost, where so good a substitute as the hairpin? If she cats a nut docs she take a nut pick? Most assuredly not. The hairpin again. It is with a hairpin that hiiu iipa upuu me uncut, leaves oi a oook or magazine; it is a hairpin with which she marks her progress in her favorite book; if a trunk key is missing, a hairpin opens the refractory lock as neatly as a burglar's skeleton key would; with it she cleanses her finger nails, and, if it is a clean one, even picks herieeth. And the feats of hair securing that she will make a simple bow legged hair; in accomplish nearly surpasses the belief of man. Altogether,it deserves to be classed among the great inventions of the world, and the grave of the original man who created the first one could have no prouder epitaph than this: "That is the kind of a hairpin he was."? m, ? J.TCtl O. Where Lace* are Matte. The most of the hand-made lace i9 manufactured in Belgium, France, and England. Large quantities are also made by machinery in the two latter countries and in the United States. The application of machinery to this delicate and intricate -work has made many kinds of lace very cheap, which, when made by hand, never could have been otherwise than expensive because of the labor required to complete them. In Belgium, where a very large part of the real lace is made (the hand-made laces are all called ''real," and machine laces "imitation"), over 150,000 women arc said to be employed in lace-making, and the majority of these work at home. There are 900 lace schools in the country. Probably the most important center of the work in that country is the city of Brussels. A very expensive kind of lace is made here, known ns Brussels lace, which is of very fine thread and intricate design. Mechlin lace, which is very fine and transparent, is m?dc at Mechlin, Antwerp, Lierre, and Turnhout. The manufacture of Valenciennes, another favorite lace is extinct in its native city?jwhence it derived its name ?but has attained much prosperity in Flanders. It is now chiefly made at the towns of Ypres, Bruges, Courtrai, Menin' Ghent, and Alost. The productions of Ypres are of the finest quality. In France, a few years ago, the number of lace-makers was estimated at 250,000, but this total had been considerably reduced by the use of machinery in recent years. The point d'Alencon lace, which is a very beautiful lace, made entirely by hand with a line needle, in small pieces, which are afterward united by invisible seams, is made principally at Bayeux. The towns of Bayeux and Caen are es pccially noted for the manufacture of line black laces. Chantilly lace, which was formerly made almost altogether at Chantilly, is now made quite extensivly at the two towns mentioned above. The productions of the towns of Lille and Arras are also well known. Lille lace is very simple in design, but very line and beautiful. The lace of B.iilleul is strong and cheap, and extensively used for trimming. The lace manufacture of the district of Auvergne, of which the town of Le Puy is the centre, is considered the most ancient and extensive in France. Over 100,000 women are there employed, aud nearly every kind of lace is made. The headquarters for machine made laces in France arc at Calais. In England the manufacture of lace is carried on chiefly in the counties of Buckingham, Devouand Bedford. The best known of the English hand-made laces is the Honiton, so called from the town of this name in. Devonshire, where it was first made. In the city of Nottingham the manufactureof hand laces was an important industry some years ago, but this has been almost destroyed by the introduction of machinery for lace manufacture. The town is now the headquarters for some of the finest designs in machine-made laccs that are known. Lace is made to some extent in Ireland, especially in the town of Limerick, also in Scotland, and in nearly every country of Europe to a limited extent. ?Inter- Occan. Fashion Notes. Lace mitts are again in vogue. The handsomest grenadines arc beaded.. Belts will be much worn with summer dresses. Striped and checked materials are all. the rage. '** Lace mantles are profusely trimmed with beads. Snowballs make a lovely trimming for . , a txille bonnet. Tucks and plaits are supersedingflounces and frills. The bodices of thin woolen materials are lined with silk. i enow ana liclitropc are tlie leading London colors this summer. Black, white, and scarlet are the preferred colors for tulle bonnets. White frocks are not so much in favor this year for festivals as formerly. The new peach color combines exquisitely with gold shades of yellow. The London turban is a favorite, but for seaside, mountain, and travelling wear. Pongee combined with plaid Surah, makes a pretty and inexpensive summer dress. A tulle bonnet should be the lightest, most cloud-like piece of headgear imaginable. Gathered panels take the place of pleated ones on summer wash fabric dresses. Spangled crape fans in iridescent effects come among other novelties in this line. Large Gainesborough hats are again in vogue, but they have very large, high, conical crown. There is a new and delicious shade of peach color that takes the bloom off every other shade. Surplice bodices have the fullness beginning at the shoulder seam, and crossing diagonally from right to left. Necklaces of cut steel and black pearls, the latter not always genuine, are included among the novelties of the season. It is predicted that next fall we shall have a revival of the old-fashioned puffed sleeves that were worn in the days of Josephine. A standing collar more suitable for hot weather has appeared, open in front about an inch. It is one of the old stylesre-introduced. Tulle bonnets?white, blaek, grayr scarlet, all shades of red and rose color,. blue and heliotrope?are worn for full dress occasions. V:-?. Fans this season are exquisite. Sandal, violet and other scented-wood stick? are used, so that a little breeze brings & delicious perfum;. Plain surah and silks, with plush or velvet stripes, are used for the skirt, th& bodice and draperies being of etamine, mohair or cashmere.
