MALARIA BARS FO) WINDOWS. Faith in the Sanitary Virtues of the Sunflower Making Business fer Florists. from the New York Sun. From the elevated trains in the upper parts of the city some very conspicuous boxes of plants ay be seen In the windows of dwellings. Sun- lowers of rank growth tower nearly to the tops af the windows. Their roots lie in big boxes of parth, and their blossoms are almost dazzling in their extravagant yellowness. Are sunflowers coming Into vogue as win- dow plants?” a florist was asked. Not that I know of,” he replied; “but we ional order for a bex of sunflowers accompanied by a request to mix ina tew other plants that are biz and hardy enough to make some little show among the gunflowers.

There was a Mra. “Secretary,”who sald of her @aughter.““She is a good gal and Idon't have to lick her,” but there was a Mrs. Secretary in Feality, who, when asked if she would do some- thing as her predecessor had done, answered, “You won't flad auy of that ‘skulidugfery’ in this family.” Once upon a time there was a plain, uninter- esting woman in one of the departments here.

Tabor had his apolo- gists, and they complain of the scornfal treat- Ment he received. One of these friends said that when Tabor came here he intended build- ing as fi 1 opera house as the one he owns in Denver, and also, he would have built one of the finest houses for his residence that was ever put up in Washington. Doubtless the house would have vied in splendor with Sena- tor Spangler’s. Washington can dispense with such houses and citizens. Representative Ignotus is not a lower type of character than some of those who have been in Congress. and during each session of Congress the newspaper men give graphic de- scriptions of the legislation which is proposed by the Spangiers and Ignotuses. ——__-e-______ Autumn.

There chanced to meet not long since ina quiet Connecticut town three remarkably old men. They were all nonagenarian. Their walk was erect and appetite good. After a hearty old country hotel dinner, remarkable as well for quantity as quality of the cooking, they seated themselves on the hotel porch together (crea- ture comforts always make us wonderouskind), and fell into a conversation as to their respective | careers of good health, when each in turn agreed to give his reasons. man, who had a s wide cravat, said The first gentie- rn countenance, and wore a Tama CLERGYMAN, and attribute my good health at the advanced aye of ninety-four, and the limit of the Good Book is only three score and ten, to my strict | temperance, never using aicoholie drinks, never smoking, and, perhaps, I will astonish you with the fact that 1 never drank a cup of coffee in my life. My digt has been plain, sometimes a cup of tea at supper. but generally have lived upon ater diet; have used meat only. once a day, living largely upon vegetables. My hours of retiring have been early, at from nine to ten. While I have led the sedentary life of a country clergyman I have taken exercise every day, working in my garden, and I never neg- lected, unless the weather was too inclement, walking at least a mile or two.” ‘The other two listened eagerly, and when the clergyman had concluded one of the others, who had been ail the while leisurely puffing a fra- grant Havana, which he removed, and blew the curling rings alott, and a smile wreathing his full, red countenance, said: “Well, I agree with my reverend friend in many things which he has said, but I have been @ constant user of good liquors and good to- baceos since my boyhood, following, however, one rule, never to drink anything on an empty stomach but a glass of cold water. I am of Irish descent, and that I learned from my people. My habits of life have been to take after breakfast a good drink to ald digestion, and sitting easily in my arm-chair to enjoy a smoke and allow no business to tempt me to move about until digestion had well advanced. Then I never took more than one more drink before dinner. At dinner I have made it a rule to have wine, of which I partook sparingly but regularly.” Thecountenance of the clergyman grew longer, and ‘What then?” Taking a fresh sniff of his clgar, “Then I al- ways took anap. After I woke up in summer I sat in the shade and drank mint Juleps, perhaps three before supper.” “You didn’t drink anything at supper?” said the clergyman. “Weil, no; bat I made ft a rule never to go to bed. which I do about ten o'clock, without a hot Scotch in winter and perhaps a julep or toddy in summer, and you can be assured that my sleep has always been sound, and that of the just, and my digestion perfect, and habits all regular. Ihave hunted and fished and ridden horseback, and eaten always generously, and still continue to do the same.” “And what has your business been ?” queried the Reverend. “Before the war I was a planter in Virginia, sir.” The speaker resumed his cigar, and the eyes of both turned toward the third, who quietly sat listening, and now that his turn came round, | said 'y experience is somewhat different from both that of the clerzyman and the gentleman who has just concluded, except in one thing, and that is regularity. During a portion of my life my means were atinted, and then I followed id Franklin's rule, ‘Early ‘to bed and early to will make a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’ My work was hard, my food coarse, be- cause my means were narrow. However, as 1 | grew older and began to amass money I lived better. For forty years of my life I never drank or smoked, Then, when I had the mieaus. I procured good Uguors, cod elxars, never using them to excess, but have been reg- ular in the last fity years in taking a nightcap before bedtime.

SS A COMFORTABLE SEAT. Chair for Theaters Recently In- vented by Mir. Mackaye. The From New York Tribune Broadway Lounger. The chalr Mr. Mackaye has Invented for theaters is more original than his double-floored stage. It consists of an iron standard of a conical shape, hollow in front, which occupies perhaps three or four inches at the base; each standard holds two swivel seats; when unoccn- pied they come together backward and look like desks or easels; when required for use they come parallel to each other, and the seat drops and has a brass or fron plece under it which makes the front support, but the moment the seat is pushed up this piece fotds beneath ft. Under the seat ie an arrangement to put your hat in, which is, therefore, underneath you, crown downward. Behind the seat isa wire arrangement in which the person sitting behind pats his overcoat. At the corner of the stan- dard is a place fora cane and umbrella. When the people come into the theater these seats are allfolé 1 up, and hence the parterre or floor is almost as open as if there was nothing there at all, and it consists ofa series of aisles run- ning tn both directions, with two seats like saddle-bags hung together at intervals. Mr. Mackaye’s theater-seat revolutionizes sittings as completely as bis stage revolutionized waiting for the ecene to set. He created a stage where one scene was being set while the other was being played. He has created a seat which, the moment an individual rises up from it, foids up into a cack and affords through the theater, lengthwise and crosswise, broad open aisles, 80 that the people can get out in the case of fire or riot or panic almost as easily as they could escape through a corn-field with the Indian corn growing conan diagonally and transversely. The seats normaily are folded up; when you need them you take hold of the seat and sit in it, and the back is adjustable to any movement you make; you want to put your knees far out, and the back accommodates you; you want to put your feet up, and there is a place under the seat betore you for that pur- pose; you want to sit straight up, with your feet under your seat, and that isalsoeasy. If you are waiting and some late chap arrives in the theater with his lady, you stand up and your seat springs vertically and gives a broad aisle; when the Intruder has passed you sit down, and every body is happy. oe . Flats in Gotham. Rew York Correspondence Hartford Times, There has rarely been a busier time among builders in New York than the present. Thesta- tistics of building operations from January 1 to September 1 show an outlay of over $44,000,000 on new structures of various kinds. First class buildings. including large business houses, ab- sorbed $12.669,000.. Tne outlay upon flats was closé on $10,000,000. On tenements and tene- ment stores it was $3,750,000. It was thought afew years ago that the flat craze had been overdone, but that seems to have been a mis- take. The 10,000,000 already put into it this year 1s mostly for very large flats, such as accommodate a dozen to a score of families each, very high buildings chiefly, which dwarf Nel aoe @arken all thelr surround- ings. The first flats put up in New York were four stories high. fer a while the height was increased to six stories, Then, as elevators bern oem ee one or ae stories ae add en el; ings were q it was thought Nine the healt asto height, had been reached.

Advice of a Hochester Scribe to a Di- vinity Student, These newagatherers are forced to come into very close contact with life in all its phases. You must remember that they see humanity in ite real wants and its real condition. That is Not one of your studies, or laid down in any of Your text-books, I imagine. I don’t. of course, know what effect this eontact Frith the sin and the suffering which follows it might have on a theological student, bat I do know that the closer men of my vocation come to the real troubles of the world the more thoughtful they become. Vice does not assume to the re- porter the azure hue that it does to casual observers, who see through a glass, La a and which is too often, I am afraid, attri uted to it by well-meaning men in your pro- fession. It may seem odd to you, but, In the many sermons I have reported, I have never heard a ciergyman draw a correct, or approxi- mately correct, word picture of the vice against which they were warning the youth of theircon- gregation. It is always a conventional vice; a vice with ahalo; vice, the very description of which, in some sermons, lends to it a fascina- tion; vice clothed in virtue. Now, if you should carry out your idea of spending a year or two of your preparation in reportorial work you would know all about it. You could give nine out of ten of these very well meaning ministers points about the citadel of sin they are all hammering away at. You would find much that would en- large your Ideas of human sympathy and charity. You would carry to your work a sad sense ot the responsibility of him whoattempte to guidemen aright. In fact, you would have the knowledge that a physician gains in the dissecting room; a knowledge that cannot be obtained from any thesis, because none has yet been written onthe subject. Ina word, you would know much less in some things and a good deal more in others. Yes, I am inclined to think that, ifI had made up my mind to preach the gospel, I would skirmish around the enn country a little ee fae a note book and find oat the lay of he land. Autumn Song.

Where a Suspension Bridge Forty Miles Long Would be Nothing to Speak of, The first fall meeting of the American Astro- nomicalSociety took place last Tuesday evening in the Packer Institute, New York. Among the new members elected were three ladies of scien- tific attainments. Mr. G. P. Serviss, secretary of the society, read a paper on the “Changes on the Moon.” He said that if the moon was in- habited engineers there would be able, on ac- count of the slight force of gravity, to build a suspension bridge across a volcanic crater forty miles in diameter, or in building railroads to tumble mountains ont of the way like mole hills. . “Although the moon fs a dead planet,” he continued, “yet changes do take place on its surface. Craters have sunk probably by the crumbling of a mountain wall. Humboldt noted asimilar phenomenon in the falling in of the top of the Capac Urcu, or Prince of Mountains, in Ecuador, in the fifteenth century, which dropped over 3,000 feet. In 1866 Schmidt of Athens missed the crater of Linne from the Sea of Serenity in the moon. It was six and a half miles across, and, Prof. Proctor says, perhaps three miles deep. Only a slignt elevation now marks the place where the mountain stood.” Prof. Stevens snggested that the mountalnsin the moon mizht crumble, in consequence of the different temperatures on the side of the moon presented to the sun and on that which isturnea away trom the sun. As there could be little atmosphere around the planet, the side next to the sun must be almost like molten lead, while on the opposite side it must be like ice. Expan- sion and contraction of the towering volcanic masses might weaken them, and in time cause them to tumble. Prof. Eaton did not believe that the astronomers had recently discovered vapor as they had hoped. Prof. Parkhurst said he hadn't the slightest doubt that the comet recently discovered by Brooks is the comet of 1812. It Is considerably ahead of time, and is further from the sun than the comet of 1812, but in every other respect the comet resembled that of 1812. It had a very faint light like a nebula when first seen. but a few days ago it blazed up with wonderful flerce- ness, and has now resumed its somewhat nebu- lar appearance. —— A MOTHER’S HEROISM. How a Woman in California Saved Her Children from a Forest Fire. Santa Cruz Dispatch in the San Francisco Call. The news reaches here to-day of one of the most thrilling incidents connected with: the frightful forest fires, which for bravery and self- possession on the part of a woman ts worthy of mention. Near the ranch of Wm. Purdy, on Scott’s creek, the fire haa been raging for sev- eral days, and on Monday it reached the place. Mrs. Purdy was at home with her five children, and, realizing the danger, she hurried to the creek, which was near by, and rushed into the water under the bridge. Here they stayed for six hours, and with buckets threw water on the bridge, which was in danger of getting on fire. They were obliged to get entirely under water every few moments to avoid the terrible heat from the flames. After the fire had been sub- dued they came out, but were utterly destitute and homeless. Mr. Purdy was only a short dis- tance from the family, but did not. know it, and he also took to the water, but was severely burned about the face, and it is thought he will lose the sight of one eye. His entire crop, barns, residence and every possession are consumed. One of the children was taken with akind of fire craziness. and it was with the greatest dif- culty that the older boy was enabled to keep it from ranuing into the fire, and was obliged by main force to take it to the water. ———___e-____ Inv<ution of an Electric Gun, From the Pall Mali Gazette, One ofthe most interesting novelties at the ‘Vienna International Exhibition is*an electric gun, The powder is fired by means of a piece of platinum in the cartridge, and the electric current necessary for heating the platinum is obtained from a little accumulator, which must be worn in a belt specially devised for the pur- pose. Besides the accumulator and the belt, a globe and a shoulder strap are necessary. The glove is morn on the left hand, and is connected with one pole of the accumulator, the strap with the other. All this would, !t must be con- fessed, be a rather formidable addition to asol- dier’s accoutrements, and one is hardly surprised to hear that the inventors do not their patent to be immediately adopted all the European armies. Meanwhile they yous out that the electric gun affords several advantages, besides the charm of novelty, which ought to commend it to the sportsman. In the first place, it is sald to be very economical; and what new applica- tion of electricity is ever said to be anything else—at first? There is no great saving on the gun or the cartridges, but then only a quarter ef the ordinary charge of powder is necessary. Moreover, the gun is economical of time and trouble. . The cartridges serve many times over, and there is none of the bother of taking off the old But the crowning merit which is claimed for the electric gun is that It Is war- ranted never to “‘kick.” If this warranty be really true, the application of electricity to sport ought not to be long delaved. ~- ———o-_____ The ee Monument Association of Virginia now has ae fund of more than €25,000—only a small part of the sum it hopes to raise for erect- ing @ monument in Richmond to the memory of General Bobert E.
