oou. A Look at An American Question. It may be a selfish view of it, but, all had won the season's prize. But somehow, in these later days, a war was raging in the man's soul. What had he done? How small, and mean, and contemptible his purpose looked, now tho these weeks had taught him a lesson he had not meant to learn the lesson that the heart at which he had scoffed was beating hard and fast in his Little Impatience.

My papa id the nicest man I know, But mamma's very sure she can't spare him 1 Advantages of Staying- in Bed. Taking an occasional day in beJ, simply on account of indisposition, is, however, a very simple and rudimentary notion of this glorious institution.

Bed is the natural domicile of every man la bed we laugh, iu bed we cry And born in bed, in bed we die." Bayard, the French physiologist, maintained that man is an animal who exercises the thinking faculty best in a horizontal position. Thus, there are high artistic, social, and intellectual uses connected with an occasional day in bed, which imperatively claim discussion. Biinley, the great engineer, when he was fairly bothered and puzzled by some tough problem, always betook himself to bed until he had solved it. Most people have a great kindness for Lord Melbourne, who, under the affectation of frivolity, used to get up Hebrew and the Fathers and imperturbable good humor to bear with his wife, Lady Caroline, while the pretty Byron-struck termagaut used to smash the drawing-room furniture. His intimate friends would find the premier calmly taking breakfast in bed, with letters and dispatches strewn all over the counterpane.

The poets have been terrible fellows to get out of bed. I suppose it is because the visions of the day and the night sweetly intermingle. The poet Thmson cultivated laziness as a tine art, and thought out his poems in bed. P.ope was a still worse fellow. When he had a fit of inspiration on him, he would keep the servant running about for him all through the night.

He made amends to them by the plenteousness of his vails." We take a later instance. Bismarck says, according to Dr. Busch. "I was troubled with varicose veins in 18G6. I lay at full length on the bed and had to answer letters of a very desperate sort with a pencil." He has given us some of his experiences when lying in bed.

I used io lie awake, full of all sorts of thoughts and troubles. Then Varzin would suddenly come up before me, perfectly distinct in the minutest particulars, like a great picture, with even all its colors fresh the green trees, the sunshine on the stems, the blue sky above. I saw every individual there. I struggled to shake the thing off and when at last I ceased to see it, other things came in reports, notes, dispatches, and so on but I fell over about morning." Bismarck at Versailles used to lie in bed a great deal, be In a paper in Scribner -on the University of Berlin, Professor Boyeseu gives the following sketch of the personnel of this great phypieist As I have said, the strength of the Berlin University lies chifiey in the fact thai' it counts so many great and renowned, men within its faculty. Among these no one is more conspicuous ihan Hermann Ludwig Helm-holtz, professor of physics, of whom it is said, wifcii.

I liud also that in social circles Helm-holtz has the reputation of being an interesting but a cold atd unapproach able man. However, the students, who work in his laboratorv and thus come into closer contact with him, cherish the profoundest respect and admira- ion for him.

One of them, a voung American, who has studietl physics in Berlin for three years, told me that uring all this time he never remem bered that the professor had addressed one personal question or remark to him, not eren as much as a comment upon the weather. Every morning, when Helmholtz enters his laboratory. he greets the young gentlemen, and hen immediately begins to question them successively iu regard to their work. He explains with admirable clearness and ease, and when an interesting point comes up for discussion, he has been known to spend an hour or more with one student in trying to elucidate it, sometimes even forgetting his lecture hour. His language is al ways mathematically "precise, and the most abstruse and involved theory becomes as simple as the multiplication table before he lia3 done with it.

The London Gaumed. The Prince of Wales lately presided at the annval meeting of the London Cabmen's Benevolent Association: The Prince de- lared the London cabmen to be hon est, persevering and enduring," and thoroughly deserving of sympathy." As a proof of that," said the Prince, I have statistics here before me which Btate that last year there were between sixteen and seventeen, thousand articles elt in cabSi amounting in value to about 20,000, which have been punc tually returned. I believe at least, it is the popular belief that there 13 only one article a cabman never returns, and that is an umbrella, and that is, we may consider, quite fair. A gentleman having an umbrella may not want a cab, but without an umbrella he will be compelled to take a cab if the rain comes on. (Laughter.) There are now between eleven thousand and twelve thousand cabmen, and the amount of the expense in cab fares comes to a most colossal sum, some thing between 4,000,000 and 000." This feliows that "cabby" in ondon is a character of large public importance.

Milk is the oidy perfect food for infants. It is the best food for children and youth up to the age of sixteen.

Old people are weaker in their digestive powers, partly because their whole y6tems are weaker, and partly because of their diminished mnsculai activity. Their food should be less in quantity than that used by- younger persons, and of easier digestion. In summer and in warm climates less food by one-third is needed, the ion of the system being lowered, and persons thus being unable either to digest or to assimilate as much as in winter and in colder latitudes. So also fat, sugar and etarch the latter includes fine Hour being mainly heat-making elements, should be but little used in summer and in tropical regions, and largely used in winter and in cold climates. Corn-bread, which contains a large per cent, of fat, is better adapted for food in winter than in eummer.

Shoemakers, tailors and people of sedanhiry habits generally need less food, siiil food that is more easily digested, than the farmer and all persons who work iiard in the open air. Sill, everybody fehould have enough of active exercise jto Je able to digest a generous diet. A thinker needs good supply of brain food, such as is liberally furnished in oatmeal but he must not use hia brain at the expense of vigorous muscles, for it is muscles that have Jtp work not only the stomach, but the langs and heart. The sick, of course, need food carefully adapted to their particular condition, und those who are not in full health greatly help themselves by rejecting: whatever they find injurious to them. Morning: Work.

A bad custom is prevalent in many families, especially among farmers, of working an hour before breakfast, attending to chores," hoeing the garden, cutting wood, mowing, etc. This is convenient on many accounts, but ia not conducive to health. The prevalent opinion is that the morning air is the purest and the most healthful and bracing but the contrary is the fact. At no hour of the day is the air more filled with dampness, fogs, and mias-" mas than about sunrise. The heat of the sun gradually dissipates these miasmatic influences as day advances.

An early meal braces up the system against these influences. Everybody kuows the languor and faintness often experienced for the' first in" the morning, and this is increased by exercise and want of food. We do not agree with the boarding-school regime, wrhich prescribed a long walk before breakfast as a means of promoting health. Probably the best custom would be to furnish every member of the family, especially those who labor out of doors, a cup of coffee immediately after rising from bed. Exchange.

Any one who wishes to judge what France is becoming and to become, may well study the subject at Marseilles. Here, on every side, are tokens of progress and piosperity. For all France has undergone, of mortification, of expense, of temporary distrc is, she is today, from all the testimony I can gather, the most prosperous country in Europe, The wheels of industry are humming there, and the economy of her people is fast replacing, the hoard which was so drawn upon by the German indemnity.

Mere than half the soil of the United Kingdom is nominally owned by some persons. According to a "valuable analysis of the very ill-arranged and incomplete parliamentary return of the land-owners of the United Kingdom, published in the Financial Reform Record for 1878, 421 persons are the owners of 22,880,755 acres, or nearly 5,000,000 acres more than one-fourth of the total area of the United Kingdom. The mind is unable to grasp what such a monopoly costs the country, certain features of it stand forth Vi.th a prominence sufficiently notable.

To a most absolute Btjnse, the weli-be- Shgd the entire po'pulation of some 32000,000 souls is placed in the power of 'a few thousands."

Oi owners have not merely burdeneu and with their game preserves: tney have tied it up, and actively conspired to prevent its due cultivation. Instead of rising to the true necessities of the case, they cling to their game, make penal enactments about it, and struggle to augment the intensity of the evil which it is to the people, as if the very existence of the country depended on hares and rabbits. In his absolute supremacy the land owner overrides all justice, takes precedence of all ordinary creditors on his helpless tenants' states, and controls the system of cul tivation, often in utter disregard of private rights or private judgment, and, in addition secures to himself the absolute reversion of every improvement which the tenant may make on the land.

MacmUlan's Magazine. Children of One Father. A touching incident occurred the other day in one of the great hospitals in xsew lork. A voung man was brought into it seriously injured by a fall from a horse. He lingereel for two or three days, during which time the matron read from the Bible to him, talked to him in short, tried as best she could to fill the place of his dead mother to the dying lad.

One day. teeling that he was fast One sinking, he asked for a clergyman. was brought quickly, a young man, the pastor of a neighboring Baptist Church. As he took the boy's hand in his, and spoK.e to him earnestly of Christ love, several pale facas were raised from the rows of beds that lined the ward on either side, listening attentively, many of them with eyes wet with tears. 'Lord, I believe! whispered the dying man.

Then the clergyman knelt, praying that God might receive the soul of his departing brother. At the bedside also knelt the Episcopalian matron, two Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy, and from the beds of i the pa tients came hearty Methodist Amens When the little company rose from their knees and looked down upon the calm dead face, they did not remember that they belonged to different sects. They were all children of one father, and He was very near. When the seven men imprisoned in a Pennsylvania coal-mine lately were rescued after five days' imprisonment, they were naked if they hoped to escape. We prayed for it," was the reverent reply.

We prayed together. Some were Protestants, and some Catholics, but when death's as close as that, you only think of God." Well-Authenticated Giants. We read that the giant Ferragus, slain by Orlande, nephew of the celebrated Charlemagne, was 18 feet high. I an num, a Scotchman, wno lived at the time of Eugene King of Scotland, measured 11 feet, and La Mare, in his voyage to the Straits of Magellan, reports that on the 18th day of Decern ber he found at Port Desire several graves covered with stones, and having the curiosity to remove them he found human skeletons 10 and 11 feet long. ommg to more reliable evidence, it seems certain that a neignt oi even more than nine feet has been attained In the museum of Trinity College, Dublin, there is a skeleton eight feet six inches in height.

In the museum of the Eoyal College of Surgeons of England, is another eight feet two inches in height, and another in the museum of Bonn eight feet. The giant who was shown in Ilouen in 1835 measured eight feet four and one-half inches. The Emperor Maximin was one inch shorter; Skenkins and Plat erus, physicians of the last century saw several of that stature, and Goro pins saw a girl, nineteen years of age, who was ten feet high. 1'hos.

The first silk fabric woven in Amer ica in 1S00, is still preserved at Salem Mass. Michigan hasHfty nice resorts. cool summer Public science. opinion is a second con Who things considered, will the United States reap any benefit from a ship canal across the Ithmus of Darien Will it not benefit England more than us Perhaps that is no argument against its construction indeed, we hold that what will benefit the world at arge must eventually benefit the Uni ted Stated. But unless we are to build up our maritime intereJfc so as to take the pre'Seldenoe on the sea over all othar nations, the first effect of a canal across Darien might not prove advantageous to our commercial interests.

Doubts ess, if a practical route can be found, the canal will be built, but it is nothing more than common prudence to look at the question in every light. The Suez canal shortens the voyage from Eng- and to India by nine thousand miles, yet the fact that British Oriental trade has been injured by it to the aelvantage or the great commercial cities of the Mediterranean testifies to the foresight of Lord Palmerston when he opposed ts construction. The Darien project, on the contrary, met with his approval, and to-day appears to be the only expedient which would enable England to compete with 1' ranee, Italy, Austria and Constantinople for the future Oriental trade of Northern Europe. At present not an inconsiderable amount of the Oriental trade crosses the American continent by railway, paying a handsome tribute to this country. owa readers are familiar with this fact, as numerous car loads of teHs and other Asiatic products are hauled across -the State and have long ceased to be objects of curiosity and comment.

In the natural course of things this traffic ought to increase. The Darien canalwould divert some of this traffic, amT English ships would compete with American vessels for the trade of not only the Pacific isles but the western coast ot South America. The only relief from this unhappy result would be to foster American sea commerce until our liag predominates in all the waters of the world. If the JJarien canal, oy creat ing at once the danger and the necessity, should contribute to bring all this about, that which at first would be our loss would eventually be our gain. But that it is a question that vitally concerns American interests, and one worthv of the serious thought of Amer ican statesmanship no one can doubt.

Burlington Llawk-h-ye. Insanity in the Pooiliouse. An article in the New York Times, peaking of the condition of the insane in the county poor-house at Syracuse, brings to mind some remarKs on tue same subject, wliich the llawk Eye has made and once, heretofore. Insanity is rarely a fault. It is gener ally a misfortune.

It cannot be caned a crime, and, consequently, it ana noi call for punishment. But the consignment of such unfortunates to county almshouses instead of to places made expressly for them, is a punishment, and one which is criminal. People who have never Been the dif ference between an insane asylum and poor-house can hardly understand how great and sal that difference is. No matter how much care the manager of a poor-house may take with these people, he is not educated in regard to their disease. However willing he may be to ameliorate their condition, he don't know how to do it.

They receive but partial attention there. They should be constantly watched, and every advantage taken to improve the condition of their minds. This is a labor that must be done by itself, lne only hope of recovery, or even ot com fort in insanity, lies in an almost constant occupation of the mind during waking hours. Books, music, games. and other attractions must be constantly resorted to.

A story is told of two Englishmen who started from Denver, for i walk to the mountains before breakfast an apparently easy task, as the nioun tains did not appear to be more man a mile or two away. After walking for an hour without seeming to have made anv progress toward the desired goal one of them became, discouraged, and concluded to return for his breakfast afterward, he took a carriage and went in search of his friend, whom he found on the bank of a small ditch, engaged in removing his boots.

But, looking down on her pure loveliness, his purpose failetl him, and stern and harsh came the words, instead "Miss Hathaway, I must thank you for a charming summer. Had you heard I was to leave to-morrow The train goes at so early an hour that I feared I should not see you to say good-by." "Good-by?" she questioningly faltered. la not this a sudden determination on your part?" Somewhat but a retrieved honor and a restored manhood depend upon carrying out my resolution." The girl's face paled. Had this man but mocked her, after all Was she to be robbed of the one sweet revenge for which she had lived since she had first heard his voice breathe her name the revenge of leading him on to the step he had declared himself about to take, then, with bitter scorn, reveal to him that she had known all from the first But what meant this sudden pain? In playing her part, had she forgotten it was not reality Was her heait tho penalty of his cruelty? All her pride, all her womanhood, came to her rescue, as she courteously murmured her regrets, and then placed her little hand lightly in his, with the hope that might one day meet again, ere she slip2ed it within the arm of her partner lor the next dance, who had come to claim her.

Some richer woman has come upon the scene," she thought, as she at last gladly hailed solitude of her room. "May she be warned as I have been!" But even with the words came a bitter burst of sobs. There was great bustle and excitement, and terrified confusion, in the hotel next day, for the early morning train had met with a serious accident but a few miles distant, and the wounded passengers were brought back. Among them was Vinton liomaine. It was some internal injury, the phy sicians said, lhey could not state the extent just yet, but they feared for the worst.

In the afternoon, Fred Saulsbury, coming to Miss Hathaway, told her that Vinton begged tr see her. Without hesitation, she accompanied him but at the door of his friend's room he drew back, and closed it after her as she entered alone.

Yes, I remember," slowly yawned the other, leaning lazily back in his chair, and sending a great pull of smoke through the open window. "But I put away all that nonsense when I put away One hears of falling in love.

Ashamed. It is said that the onca great chess player, Paul Morphy, is in an insane asylum. He utterly repudiates cness, and denies having ever known anything about it. He imagines himself a great lawyer, Burrounded by clients, and is busy at all times settling an immense estate left him by his father. The legal part of that information may explain the "insanity dodge.

JJut the cness repudiation casts a cloud upon it. It is evident that he is ashamed of making himself a professional at an amusement. Even a lawyer (much as. the newspapers abuse him) is a better man than a professional gamer. Mr.

Morphy has our congratulations on having come to his senses, and our condolence for having lost them.
