Matters Terd to That ¢oudition ta Gritain’s Parliament
No institution can stand aitess it Is idealized, unless it is mirrored in the histroic imagination, unless our analytic judgments about it are taken, as George Eliot says, in a “stranc: so- lution of feeling.” No one, therefere, will critize too closely the tender sen- timent of reverence for the House entertained by Mr. and Mr. Peel.

Gladstone
terances is in his laying exclusive ctress upon the maintenance of the: }istoric dignity and traditions of the }louse. It would, indeed, be unfortunate if the lack of traditional digniiy, which char acterizes the American House of Ne- bpresentatives, were to pervade the Hiouse of Com#®.ors. But we do not think It probable, for unquestionably
the manners of the House have improv- ed. The House rather tends to be com- menplace, to the colorless monotony of alu assembly of respectable city men In this, too, it reveals its representative character, for that is the note of an English public assembly to-day.
We have no sleepy, ignorant country Squires, stupefied by strong ale: but then we have no Pitt, no Grattan, no Burke. Things is therefore likely, on the whole, to maintain its dignity, which has certainly never been lowered by a single labor member. The real question is whether it will maintain its efficiency. Old traditions are well enough, but we need them wedded to new mothods in order that the new tasks of to-day may be performed. The methods which did well enough for a narrow-minded, middle-class electorate and a less complex social life,are scarce- ly equal to the far more difficult and onerous duties of to-day. The machine is clogged, and the nation’s work is in serious arrears. If Parliament is to overtake its work, if the national de- mands are to be satisfied, a great scheme of legislative reform is ineyi- table. Until that is undertaken we fear that there wiil be little else than ane the sand.”"—London Chron- cle.
BRAIN WORK —ND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise ix Said to be Conductve to Longevity.
As a factor in longevity the London Speaker calls attention to the fact that those people who have been acustomed to the continued disciplinary use of their brains daily and who have placed their nerve power under a highly-de- veloped constitutional training are en- abled by these very means to escape the so-called early decay and to avoid those alarming accidents to health from which so many apparently healthy men succumb. People who use their brains and observe ordinary hygienic care of their bodies resist diseases in the first place; and when they are actually il] they prolong their lives or recuperate sooner than do those who have lived less intellectual Hives, Thus there is given a new force to the as- sertion that you may kill a man with anxiety very quickly, but it is difficult te kill him with work.
Whether the brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the enormous strength some- times developed in a tast rally looks very much like it. That it can mater- fally affect vitality ts quite certain. and has been acknowledged by the exper- fenced in ali ages.
Victims of the “Rush” Habit.
That much of the “rush” that fs so characteristic of American life is the resuit of habit rather than necessity is thown by the fact that it quickly yields te curiosity. Instances of this are i.°- forded daily in the busiest thorough- fares. The familiar spectacle of a man or woman frying egridle cakes 1m the front window of a restaurant is one that never fails to attract a knot of cbservers, even in the most crowded part of Broadway, at an hour when business is most brisk. The tide of travel always has to turn aside when a big safe is being hoisted to the seventh or eighth story of some tall office build- ing because of the crowd of clerks, salesmen, and men of business who bave stopped for a few minutes to look cn, and most of whom will soon be tearing through the streets at a rate which would seem to indicate that life or death depended on the speed they made.
It is at the elevated railroad stations that there is the greatest display of haste. Men rush upstairs and push and elbow one another about on the platform as though to miss a particular train would involve a delay of several hours and no end of inconvenience to each and all of them. And yet, only a few days ago I saw two score men and a half a dozen women let threc trains pass them while they watched a sign painter at work on a patent medicine advertise- ment on a blank wall. And before he attracted their attention they had all been struggling like mad to catch the first train that came along.
Some day as a nation we may awake to the discovery that we can waste time now and then when we feel like it.—New York Sun.
A Snake the Negro Fears.
Mr. Powe, in speaking of the other kinds of snakes, said that the ‘“‘coach~- whip snake" was the terror of the negroes, There was an old superstition among them that the coach-whip would whip a man to death, and then put the tip of its tail into the nostrils of the yictim to see if he was dead. An old negro man went out to catch the horses of the party, which were turned into pasture, while they were out fishing and hunting, and on the way began to think about snakes. The old man had a bridle on his arm, and by some means one of the long leather reins had got loose, and was dragging behind him. His imagina- tion had worked him up so that the sweat was standing out con his black skin. He chanced to look back and catch a glimpse of the rein. He let a blood-curdling yell and ran. He looked back and on came the rein which he took for a coach-whip snake after him to beat him to death. The negro actue ally ran till he fell exhausted, and then fearing the superstitious act of having the tip of the snake's tail run up his nose he clapped his hands over his face and prepared for the whipiag.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

ViCTORIA’S HOUSEHOLD. —
the Queen Max Employed Aronynd Mer.
One Thousand People
Queen Victoria's household ts a large one, consisting of just under a thou- sand persons, for the maintenance of whom the nation sets apart the sum of $2,500,000 every year. Most of the posts are sinecures or fixtures for life.
In the early part of Quéen Victoria's reign a mistress of the robes may pos- sibly have done a few hours’ work in the year, giving orders that the apparel of the sovereign should be carefully preserved from moth and dust, renew- ing the regal ermine, velvet and lace at stated times, and seeing that the crown jewels were always locked safely uftera public airing.
She could not affix her name to war rants empowering one worthy trades- man to sell sewing cotton to the royal household and allowing others to put vp the royal arms over their doors be- cause their various wares were bought by personages of !lustrious degree.
Marriet Sutherland's signature was al- Ways most as good an addition to busi- ness advertisements as ‘““To the Queen” emblazoned in big gilt letters over the shops.
Some of the posts are entirely orna- mental and others have very little duty attached to them. Probably the only additions to the household since the time of Henry VIII. are two steam ap- paratus men.
Although there is no Jonger a royal barge uor any pageantry on the Thames, there are still a bargemaster and a waterman, with a salary each of $2,000 a year.
For the past 200 years there has been ne hawking in the forest of Windsor, but the office of grand falconer, held by the Duke of St. Albans, has onlv been suppressed within the last two years.
There are four table deckers whose sole duty is to lay the dinner cloth and see that the plates, dishes and cutlery are fairly set forth,
There is also a wax-fitter, who sees the candles properly disposed, and a first and second lamplighter, who re- ceives the same salary as that of the peet aureate, which is $500 a year
This may seem shabby payment, but it mist be confessed that most of the poets laureate have been overpaid for the stuff supplied.
Then there is the “keeper of the swans,” who annually pockets $150 for looking after the sacred birds on the royal waters. Lastly there is the “Queen's rat-catcher,”’ who is especially attached to Buckingham Palace. His salary, $75, is provided outside the civil list. Every session the House of Com- mens, in committee of supply, considers this vote and gravely agrees to it.—Bos- ton Globe.
The Girls of Cuba.
It is not to be accepted as true that Cuban women are all beautiful. It can be stated, as a rule, however, that the Cuban woman has beautiful eyes. Faces that would otherwise be plain and un- attractive are glorified by ravishing dark eyes with arched brows and long lashes that cast shadows on their cheeks. When the face, as is sometimes the case, is a perfect oval, the features prettily formed, with a touch of volup- tuousness about the mouth, the hair raven black, such eyes complete a beauty that is well worth a journey to Cuba to see. One will often catch a glimpse of a face like that, framed in by a mantilla, at the opera or in the street. He (for I do not suppose a ‘she” would be underthe same spell) will often find himself coming to a sudden stop tn the street at the sight of such a face, peering out from the shadows of a car- riage, perhaps with a fan provokingly held, so as to hide half the beauty. He will see such beauties, too, now and then at the windows of the houses, and this is likely to encourage him in a habit of looking into the wide-open windows as he sidles by them on the narrow footwalks. He will rarely see one walking on the street in the day- time, and when he does she wil] be ac- companied by an elderly woman or ea negro servant.—Washington Star.
The Habit ef Saving.
The French suffer less from panies end depressions than any other people on the globe, and it is because thrift ts the basis of their prosperity.
In France nearly every person saves something for a rainy day. The habit is almost universal, and those who earn the least are sure to be found in this great saving class, The French savings banks have more than 8,000,000 deposi- tors, and their deposits amount to about $£00,000,000, and this large sum is made up of large amounts.
The French schools teach the chil- dren to save money, and the most fre- quent prize given to a bright pupil is a savings bank-book with a smal] sum to the credit of the owner. This is given where, in this country, we would give a medal or a book.
When a community has a lot of money dcposited in savings banks it is easy to borrow money without going to out- side capatalists. The local banks are prepared to loan to home people at a moderate interest. In large cities and factory towns of the Eastern States the savings banks are the great safeguards of the poor wage-earners against hard times, and if the saving habit was as general here as it is in France, our peo- ple would have passed through the re- cent financial depression without seri- ously feeling it.
Every child should be taught the tm- portance of saving without being avar- icious and niggardly. We need more tnrift. The average American wage- earner wastes enough in his lifetime to make him comfortable in his old age. We shovld take a lesson from the French int .is respect. They know how to enjoy life and at the same time work hard and save money.—Atlanta Consti- tution,

Gen. Neal Dow may profitably cite his own case in proof of the benefits of total abstinence. There is probably no live- Mer man of $1 in all Maine, a State pro- lific in vigorous old men, and none sounder in mind and body. When Gen. Dow celebrated his birthday, a week or so ago, he greeted all his numerous call- ers. with a hearty handshake and ex- hibited a liveliness of demeanor that was surprising. He is as active as ever in the cause he has championed for co many years. During the winter just passed, for instance, on five occasions he left home at daybreak to journey to Augusta to make protracted arguments before legislative committees.—Fiank Leslie's.

Of the Cheese and Butter Factories in operation in 1894, we furnished, to the satisfaction of all concerned, the necessary apparatus for the foliowing:—Winsloe,
ampton, Tryon, Crapaud, Grand River, Dunk River, Mount Svewart, and Vernon River Bridge.

From our large experience in the past we are now better than ever prepared to meet the wants of Dairymen. We guaran tee satisfaction, and respectfully solict the patronage of those who are contempi lating the erection of Cheese or Butter Ftories.
