How They Came to be Adopted as an Article of Indoors Toilet. The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes: Paying this afternoon a visit to the editor of a journal at his office, I noticed there a large dressing-table with a water-tank in porcelain. Repeating a joke of Rochefort’s indifference to soap, I observed, ‘‘You are not in the same case.” He said, “As we do not wear gloves any longer. I and my sub-editors must often wash our hands.” Ladies have only renounced white kid gloves. In paying visits of ceremony they may don white Swedish gloves, with their heraldic bearings painted or embroidered on the back of the hand near the wrist. The glove now follows in tint, evening | as wellas morning, the color of the dress, or | harmonizes with it. At the old Court of France | ladies only were gloved in riding out or travel- ling. The glove in society was a device of Jo- | sephine to hide the coarse arms of a marshal’s | wile who had been a laundress. The Duchesse | @Angouleme had an old-fashioned prejudice | against gioves. But the veins were prominent ot her hands, and rings, of which ‘as fond, accentuated this ugiine: Jace mittens.

What Boys Wi: From the London Telegraph, When a boy has ceased to wish to be a clown he desires to drive an engine, and when that ambition is passed, his next want is to 0 tosea. It is curious to observe the uniformity of opinion among boys on these matters. We never hear of a lad passionately anxious to be a lawyer, aud hiding himself in corners In orderto read about the law; nor probably is a lad—a small lad—often found who devotes his days and nights to thinking how delightfal it must be | to be a clergyman. To be a stock broker, a banker, a farmer,to be even a member of parlia- ment, is not among the ambitions of boys. They would be willing to shine as actors, in- deed, but on condition that they appear with whitened cheeks, and with a leg of mutton and a hot poker in their pockets. Of engineering they have few ideas outside the notion that an engineer, whether ctvil or otherwise, is an indi- vidual with a grimy face—a distinct advantage to boys, most of whom abhor soap—who stands behind a locomotive and makes it go along as fast as he pleases, not to mention whistling whenever he takes it Into his head to enter tunnel. The sea, however, is usually the boy's longest and most earnest dream. And It is not a little extraordinary that the hardest, the roughest, and, having regard to the routine of its discipline and the charac- ter of its members, the most proaaic of all call- ings should stand at the very head of the pro- fessions as an Inspiration of sentiment, of poetry and of romantic fancies. The sea has a charm for the young which mencan only understand by becoming boys again in ot thinking out of the minds they had when 8. Were it possible exactly to determine all that a lad dreams about the sea, the impulses which move him toward It, his ideas of life on board shipand the wonders of the werld into which the mari- ner sails, we should find the picture wanting neither in humor nor in pathos—bumor in the utter unlikeness to the truth, and pathos in the generous, child-like Imagination which fllngs its wonderful light over one of the harshest and most unsympathetic of human facts, enriching it to such a degree that even the mature mind is captivated by the boyish fancy, and regards the sea from the standpoint of the dreaming, enthusiastic lad. —We read in a London Paper: “We gre, so to say, in a state of slege, certainly under the very strictest military an police surveillance. As night comes on we see all the public buildings delivered over to sol- diers, gates are closed, sentinels with rifles loaded with ball and cartridge pace rapidly to and fro. and some large apartment is for the nonce turned into a guard-room. This has a woman, setting down her butter.

When the great Sara’s memoirs make their ap- pearance I hope she will be found to have clear- ed up the mystery of that little fit of vexationin which she attempted suicide some 14 years azo.

From Forney’s Progress. Washington Is a decidedly pleasant city as to its weather in the sumer time. I know about that. The mornings and the evenings are al- ways cool. Isthat the trath with Philadelphia and other cities of the middie states? T have been many a summer in Wash- ington and Ihave never experienced the de- pressingly hot nights I have in Philadelphia. There is always at least someair stirring. With the adjournmeas ofCongress may close the most public features of fashionable society, but a de- lightful social life remains. There are points ail around the city to which very enjoyable ex- cursions are made. Its social organizations, composed of its regular residents, are nu-, merous. There are frequent entertainments shared in by its best classes under the auspices of its boat clubs, its Light Infantry, ete., etc. In a word, Washington lite after Congress leaves can never be called dull or stupid, except by those who know nothing about it. — ——t- What ts the Matter with Jupiter? From the New York Sun. Late in the summer of 1878 something hap- pened on the planet Jupiter which immediately excited the attention of astronomers the world over, and gave rise to no end of curious specu- lations. South of the southern equatorial belt of the planet an oblong red spot suddenly made its appearance. It was so large and its color was 80 pronounced that even the smallest teles- copes readily and clearly showed it. Jupiter is a world in comparison witn which this earth is Insignificant. In order to circumnavigate Jupi- ter a sea captain would have to sail as far as from the earth to the moon, and then go ona distance greater than the circumference of the earth in addition. If New York and San Francisco were set down on the surface of Jupiter at points corresponding to their positions on the earth they would be more than 80,000 miles apart. It is no wonder, then, that the astrono- mers felt a little excitement when they saw a huge red spot suddenly appear on the face of Jupiter, as if a pugilistic comet had hit the giant planet a blow from the shoulder and drawn lood. The red spot was some 30,000 miles long and 6,000 miles broad—big enough to encircle the earth like a grand marshal’s sash, with 5,000 milesto spare. Yet on Jupiter this huge spot resembl @ small red blotch on an apple. Everybody who looked at It witha tele- scope felt an irresistible desire to know what it was. Some guessed { it was one of the red-hot continents of the yet burning planent thrust up through the superin- cumbent vapors by some internal convulsion, such as lifted up great masses of the earth’s crust in its early geological days. Others sur- mised that it might be an opening rent through the cloudy envelope of the planet and showing its glowing surface beneath. Some thought it was a red cloud, and some that it was a flery slag cast up from the planetary furnace beneath. It was soon discovered that it had a motion of its own—at least that it pertormed its revolution around the planet ina period dif- ferent from that of some light spots near the equator. This only served to intensify the curl- onity of beholders. ee nexpectedly, last the great spot began tofade. A veil seemed to have been drawn over It, and all its outlines grew faint. Like a flery monster which had only come to the sur- face to breathe, it seemed to be sinking back again into the depths of Jupiter’s cloud ocean. The latest news rerarding this phenomenon is that it has practically ceased to be visible. The astronomical monthlies have stopped printing tables giving the time of its ‘meriiian passage, and only the most gigantic telescopes are able to give slight glimpses of the disappearing monster. But while one wonder is going off the stage, another comes on. Of late the general appear- ance of Jupiter's surface has greatly changed. Some power appears to be at work changing not only the forms, but the colors of the planet's belts and epee, and Jupiter is now exciting uni- versal admiration by the brilliant appearance of truly martial aspect, absolutely quite pictur- esque, and worthy of being commemorated by | boston enterprising R. A.; soldiers are gathered round the blazing fire, arms are glistening in the light, the toy drummer boy is waiting to beat to arms, and all are on the alert, ready to rush into the streets and do some bloody business there.

There are 12,000 miles of under- ground wire in the United Kingdom.: There {1 great outcry for more underground work in Eng- land, owing to the destruction to open lines by gales and snow storms; but underground tele- graphs, wire for wire, cost at present about four timeg 88 much as overground lines, and their capacity for the conveyance of messages is only one-fourth; so that overgréund are, commer- cially, sixteen times better than underground wires. To lay the whole of the post office sys- tem under ground would mean an expenditure of about £20,000,000. Hence there is no desire to put wires under ground except in towns. Besides, snowstorms are tew and far between, and their effects are much exaggerated. Of the numerous materials and compounds that have been used for insulating purnoses, gutta-percha remains the oldest and the best for undergreund purposes. It. like all other materials used for telegraphy, has been improved vastly through the searching power that the current gives the engineer. The past ten years has seen the globe covered with a network of cables. Submarine telegraphs have become a solid property. They are laid with facility and recovered with certainty, even in the deepest oceans. Thanks to such expedi- tions as tl of H. M. S. Challenger. the floor of the ocean is becoming more famillar than the surface of many continents. There are at pre- sent 80,000 imiles of cable at work, and £ 000,000 have been embarked 1n their establish- ment. A fleet of twenty-nine ships is employed in laying, watching, and repairing the cables. The Atlantic is spanned by nine cables in work- ing order. The type of cable used has been but very little varied from that first made and laid between Dover and Calais; but the character of the materials, the quality of the copper and the gutta-percha, the breaking strain of the homo- geneous iron wire, which has reached ninety tons to the square inch, and the machinery for laying, have received such great advances that the last cable laid across the Atlantic. by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Com- pany, was done in twelve days without a hitch or stoppage. aud Sabmarii Wires. 0+ On Saddest Day.

I took two bottles of it, and it took right hold of my diseas® and cured me very speedily, and I have experienced no trouble with my kidneys since. “Furthermore, Hunt's Remedy has atrengthened mo very much, and since I began to use it I have been able to attend to business, and am all right now. I heartily Tecommend itto all. What it has done for me it will do for you who are sfflicted.” SUFFERED FOR TWENTY YEARS, Hon. Josnva TurHict, of Eart Saginaw, Mich.,eays; “Count me among the enthusisetic friends of Hunt's Remedy. It has proven in my caseall you claim for it. Having suffered for about twenty years with eevere dis- eareof the kidneys (which our local physician pro- nounced Bright's Disease), I made a journey East to consult the eminent Dr. Haven, of Hamilton, New York, of whose fame in thisspecialty [had heard much. Dr. Haven examined me carefully and simply said, ‘Go and get a bottle of Hunt’s Remedy and take according to directions,’ After having traveled so far for treat- ment, it etruck me as rather funny to be directed totake medicine which I might have bought within a stone's throw of my own door; but I was in the doctor's hands, and of couzse I followed bis advice, and right glad was I that I did #0, for before I had taken Hunt's Remedy half a dozen times I found immense benefit from it,and by continuing the use of it for a limited time I recovered from my trouble entirely, and am to-day, Ithink, ons of the moet rugacd of rugged Michiganders. The world is indebted to you, eir, for the promulgation of euch a medicine, and I hope you may not go without your re- ward.” p30 FREED SSS, && CO _ OO ™ LSSS, at ee § 8 «2s cco ofS FRE LE Sassy sts 9 (9 9 Sassy ¥ kKELILLSsss8 “’se* Cco00 Sgss¥ IN BOTTLES AND NO’ EXPCSED TO THE AIR, Made Tnetantly— One, Cup er many.
