Some studies ave been made inthis direction which may not prove uninteresting or without value in the present connection, which we will quote from Mr. Wilson. A French physician, Dr. Beau, has erved that the nail of the feet are tour times swer in their growth than those of the hands. e in length one millimeter— , two-tifths of a line, or one-thirtieth of an none week, while the nails of the toes for the same amount of in- that is, | erease.

In like manner, the nail of the great toe, measuring in length nine lines and a half, or | twenty-four millimetres, and requiring four times the period of the thumb nail, would con- sume ninety-six weeks, or nearly two years in its growth. Plant Trees on the Roadsides. From the American Acriculturist, Trees may be planted at any time before the ground freezes solid, or as soon as it fully opens Farly spring would be preferable on some accounts, but if left until then the hurry of work, often delayed by cold and wet weather, Is likely to interfere. It is better, therefore, to get every hardy tree possible into its permanent growing place now. And every itis delayed is no trifling loss, A hundred , trees can be set at acost of ten or twenty ine] e or altnost no cost, if one plings are easily a lars, or and the s: may inten to fifteen three to ten doll piece for needed timber and fuel, or for the fruit or nuts produced. It would be greatly to. the advantaze of the country, its climate. and its beauty, if the sides of our public highways generally were planted with trees that furn!sh shade and ornament while growing. and supply at_ no distant period wood for various purposes. Some years before they mature sufficlentiy to be cut down for use, new plantings alternating with the older trees to take their places, or jeties may be set, so are removed the former zh to soon fill the gaps.

The House was a good one that greeted the Goodwins In their great play of “Hobbies.” The company Is small, but good. There are one or two members, it 1s true, who will never earn more than $10 a week and board; but they are careful to observe two great requisites; they all say “poor ge-yurl,” and each talk to the audi- ence instead of each other. All good actors say ge-yurl; and all vocd actors talk to the audience. This shows that they are not afraid of the audiece. Mr. Good- win himself has lost a double tooth on the upper Jaw, which any dentist in Peoria would willingly replace for €12.50 on a vuleanite base. He ought either to get a new tooth or re- frain from smiling so far on the left side of his mouth. We throw out this suggestion, not ina spirit of faultiinding, with a sincere desire to do Mr. Goodwin a service.

Every Mexican household has a great number of servants in proportion to the size of the family, and how they all occupy themselves is a mystery. There is one creado whose sole busi- ness is to make tortillas; another to do the marketing and act as steward; another who does nothing but cook; another to wash; another to keep the house tidy; others to wait on table and attend the children, to brush the mistress’ hair and shake the dust from her dresses (which literally sweep the dirty streets whenever she goes out, American short skirts being considered dreadfully immodest), besides gardeners, hostlers, valets, etc. But servant- keeping is a very different thing in Mexico than in the United States. Here they do not require the salary ot a Congressman, nor demand days out and company in, nor grow so important that their employer 1s barely allowed to rematn providing she is sufficiently polite. Mexican creados consider $4 per month a munificent salary, and in time get rich on it, according to their fdeas of wealth. They sleep, rolled up in their sarapas, on the floor, in the court, wherever it is most convenient, require tew clothes, and those generally the gifts or cast-off garments of their employers, and are invariably pious and apparently contented.

Matthew Arnold does not like the “fragment- ary” appearance of the American newspaper. He has been accustomed tothe ponderous essays of the London Times and the Standard, and Is taken by surprise at the concise and pithy way of the American newspaper in treating current topics. It would not be difficult to fill a newspaper with editorial essays after the manner ot the London press, but not one in a hundred sub- scribers would read them, however ably ten. ‘The London method of editing fhe American looks to the paper to con the news of the day from ali parts of thy and the greater they: the penings of the political, religious, busine: social world. He feels entirely competent to dra conell yns. What he wants is the facts, elligence supplies the rest. Occasionall: complications may arise wivere editorial nations are of value to him, but he pre to be brief and pointed. and the less rhetorical display there is the better pleased and satistied h Even the London newspapers are approaching the American style. It is now possible to find briet editorials in the London Nevs and Tele- graph, and even a touch of personality in them. Their columns are gradualiy growing livelier, though they are yet a good ways from the American style of treating current events. It ts highly probable that the newspaper of the near future will be made up almost, if not quite, exclusively of telezraph, local news and brief editorials.

In the tramway car, on a wet afternoon some time since, a woman of fifty, made up to look about twenty-five years old. got on board at a crossing toWind every seat occupied. She stood for a moment, and then selecting a poorly dressed man about forty years of age, she ob- served: ‘‘are there no gentlemen on this car?” “J dinna ken,” he replied as he looked up and down; “if ther’s nane, and ye’re gaun the length o’ Dennistoun, I'll hunt up one for ve at the end o’ the line.” ‘Tiere was an embarrass- ing silence for a moment, and then a light broke in on him all of a sudden, and he rose and said: “But ye can hae this seat. I'm aye willin’to stan’ an’ gie my seat toan auld buddy.” That decided her. She gave him a look which he will not forget to his dying day, and, grasping the strap, she refused to sit down, even when five seats had become vacant. “WHERE were you engaged last?” asked a lady of the new colored cook. “Yer oughten'ter ax me dat, lady.” “I just want to know, as it may tend to give you character.” “Wall, lady, de las’ time I was engaged was down inde bottoms.

The dealer in Russian whisky 1s protected by the law and is answerable to the |law. Hedare not make use of his license to dealin yodki as a blind for robbery. Such things as you Americans call ‘dives,’ are utterly unknown there. No man can be tempted to drunkenness and robbery while in a drunken state without punishing the dealer, which means the deprivation of his license and a period of incarceration in jail with hard labor, followed In extr es with a touch of the knout on his bare skin. The terror of this punishment makes each keeper of a_vodki shop really a conserva- tor of the peace, for as soon as the liquor dealer sees that one of his customers is lable to get violently drunk he turns him out on the street. And a man already drunk can get no more vodki.” “But suppose the drunken man kicks up a Tow, what then?” “He is taken in charge by the police and down to the station house.

They have quarreled, these two—quarreled, asalllovers do, over some foolish trifle, and froin good-natured bandinage and smiling de- nial have gone on and on until cruel, anzry words have been spoken by each, and there yawns between them a horrid chasm into whose itack depths their love, but a little while ago so tender and true, has been cast. . the woman isthe first to relent.

He expresses neither rezret nor surprise. He only lifts the long lily hand that he holds, and, laying its palm against his burning mouth, soft passes his lips to and fro over the little fair lines in which her history is written. “Look up, darling,” he says presently; “look up and say that you have forgiven me.” The beautiful face is raised from his breast. She is pale, indeed, but it is with the pallor of conquering passion, and very still. but. it 1s the ness of one who, looking up in awfa! Joy, sees the dawn of a superb new world breaking upon her. Harold leads her to a fauteuil and kneels in his beautitul glad manh beside her. “May I kiss you?” he murmurs. She does not speak, but the love-light in her eyes makes answer more eloquently than could any words. For a moment she closes her eyes, as one faint with a bliss whose keenness makes it cross the border-land and become pain, and 80 is gathered into his strenuous embrace. For one second she lies on his heart. For one second the breath of her sweet sighs stirs his hair. Their faces are nearing each other slowly, in the sweet luxury of a passionate delay, to make yet more poignant the pleasure of their supreme meeting at last, when suddenly Har- old starts to his feet. Gladys springs from the fauteuil. “My God!” she cries, “what is the matter?” him Harold whispers in low, strained tones:_ “I have broken my suspender.” ‘To Cure Stammering. Dr. Dio Lewis in his magazine gives a rule for the cure of stammering whichis certainly simple enough, and which the doctor says has cured three-fourths of all the cases he has treated.
