Cxo'ngr to a Dinner Party.
"Now, we haven't got much time to
get ready, my dear," suggested Mr.
Spoopendyke, cheerily, "and I won't be
late at a dinner party. I want yon to fix
up so as to be the best-looking woman at
the table. You can get ready in an hour
can t you?
Money Orders.
"Over $51,000,000 in hard cash passed
through our hands last year," said Mr.
William Piimley, the General Superin
tendent of the Money Order Department
in the New York Post-Office, yesterday.
"By our hands I mean the whole de

"You might get my shaving tackle for
me," said Mr. Spoopendyke, appropriat
ing the only mirror. "And now I think
of it," he continued, after a pause "my
dress coat needs a button. Sew it on,
won't yon?"
Mrs. Spoopendyke lugged out the coat
and hunted through a broken-down old
bag after a button.
"Got that button sewed on yet!" in
quired Mr. SpoopendyKe, lathering away
comfortably.
"In a minute, my dear," responded
Lis wife.
"Well, hnrry up; I want you to put
these studs and sleeve-buttons into my
clean shirt."
Mrs. Spoopendyke gradually got
around to those offices, and laid out the
habiliment in readiness for her lord.
"Did you take those stitches in my
gloves?" inquired Mr. Spoopendyke.
"Oh, yes, certainly," replied Mrs.
Spoopendyke, going risrht to work at it.
"Well, then, you can brush mj vest
and pantaloons, and by that time I'll be
ready to have you tie my cravat."
A few moments more found Mr.
Spoopendyke arrayed completely.
"Come you ready?" he demanded,
having assured himself that his wife had
not accomplished a single step toward
her toilet.
"Not quite, dear," responded the lady,
with one-half her hair in her month
and the other half crackling under the
brush.
"What's the matter with you?"
asked. "Didn't yon say you could
ready in an hoar? Didn't you hear me
tell you when I came in that we only
had an hour to dress in? What have
yoa been doing? Why can't you go as
you are? You look well enough."
"I was busy fixing your things," fal
tered Mrs. Spoopendyke,"and I couldn't
do two things at once."
"O, no! You can't do anything at
once. Why didn't you have my things
fixed this morning? Why don't you
keep house somehow? That dress you've
got is good enough. Why can't you go
in-tliat dress? If you've got to put on
all the frills you won't be ready tilll next
fall. Ain't you most ready now? Think
I'm going to stand around here like a jug
of mineral water?"
Mrs. Spoopendyke twisted up her hair
and jammed in the pins. Then she put
on her hat and twitched it first to one
side and then the other; put one hand up
behind and shoved it forward, and then
caught hold of it in front and pulled it
down.
"Well, if you're ready, let's start,"
growled Mr. ' Spoopendyke. "You've
been long enough for a telegraph wire,
now. Come on."
"Oh! I haven't got my dress on yet,"
pleaded Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I'll be
through in a moment."
"Dod gast the dress!" ejaculated Mr.
Spoopendyke. "Where's my paper?
Give me my paper and I'll read a month
or two. You won't be ready till spring.
Where's that paper?"
"Take a book, dear," recommended
Mrs. Spoopendyke, blushing deeply and
glancing around nervously.
"I don't want any measly book," re
torted Mr. Spoopendyke. "I want the
morning paper. Find that paper the
first thing you do, and then you get
ready in four seconds."
"I think you'll find the paper behind
behind the bookcase," said Mrs. Spoop
endyke, as red as a brick, and she hus
tled into her skirt, and began clawing at
it behind in an effort to loop it up
straight. "I'm almost ready," she gig
gled hysterically, as &he drew on the
waist and buttoned it up nervously.
"I'll be ready before you could turn the
paper inside out," and she snatched a
ribbon from the drawer, tied it into a
bow, pinned it at her throat and backed
away from the glass to see how it looked.
"I want, to know whether you're go
ing to find that dod gasted paper for
me," thundered Mr. Spoopendyke.
"I'm all right except my cloak,"jerked
out Mrs. Spoopendyke, "if you'll hand
me my cloak "we'll start right away. It's
in the closet there." And Mrs. Spoop
endyke flopped down on the floor and
began putting on her shoes.
"S'pose I'm going to hunt around for
that measly cloak'?' howled Mr. Spoop
endyke. "Can't you get your things for
yourself? I want my paper, and I want
it now."
"I can tell you what was in it," said
Mrs. Spoopendyke. "T can tell you all
about it while I dress." and she looked
up at him piteously, with her face all
flushed.
"No doubt," retorted Mr. Spoopen
dyke, "You know all about it. All you
want is a can of oil and ten men swear
ing at you all day to be a printing press.
When are you going "
"Now, I'm all ready, dear," smiled
Mrs. Spoopendyke, who wasn't anything
of the sort. "You won't need to read
now for we're going."
They started off together, arm in arm,
Mr. Spoodendyke growling and his wife
hitching at her various garments as they
went along.
"Another time we're going out to din
ner yon get ready the day before, you
hear?" demanded Mr. Spoopendyke.
"Yes dear," responded his wife, and
then she thought to herself, "I'm very
glad he didn't insist on looking for that
paper." Brooklyn Eagle.

It seems incredible that this vast af
fair is so young in years. It was only
sixteen years ago that C. F. McDonald
conceived and started the idea of the
Money Order department into life. Be
fore that it was only by the most elabo
rate care and lynx-eyed precaution that
even small amounts of money could be
sent from one point to another with any
certainty of safe carriage, but now its
safety has become such an assured fact
that people never consider the idea of
losing their money at all, but simply
make out an order and send it on its way.
Whoever hears of a loss nowadays? Mr.
McDonald, the originator of the scheme,
is now at his head. He is the chief of
the money-order system in Washington.
A recent recommendation of his in
relation to the fees charged for sending
money through the money-order depart
ment is a reduction from ten to five
'cents on amounts not exceeding $5;
and on orders over $5, and not over $10,
a reduction from ten cents to eight cents
and an extension of the limit of the
amount that may be sent in any one case
from $50 to $100. I am in favor of Chief
McDonald's recommendation, and think,
though I'm by no means sure that Post
master James, now that he is in the Cab
inet as Postmaster General, will view it
favorably also."
"What is the smallest amount you
ever made out an order for?"
Mr. Piimley considered a moment,
and then touched a little electric button
on the side of his desk. The desk is a
he ' cariosity. It has 8 or 10 buttons on each
get i side, a bronze plate over each one, setting
forth in black letters exactly whioh cleric
in an indicated department may be ex
pected to answer. On the top is another
long row of buttons, and at each end are
more, eight and nine being grouped to
gether on one plate in some instances.
While the General Superintendent talked
to the reporter yesterday his business
went on as usual. He touched one but
ton and immediately a clerk appeared
with a bundle of checks and withdrew.
Mr. Piimley signed two or three checks,
touched a button and they were taken
I away by another clerk. He went right
' on and signed several more, touched
third button, when a third clerk ap
peared, and so on through the whole in
; terview. Mr. Piimley now pressed one
! of the mystic buttons, and in half
minute a uniformed olerk stood by his
side. :
"What is the smallest money order
ever sent?
"One cent, sir."
"Many of them?"
"Very few. They were probably sent
for a joke. Quite a number have been
sent for 5, 10 or 15 cents, but people in
general fail to see the wisdom of paying
a fee of ten cents for sending nve.
"Very good."
The clerk bowed and withdrew, and
Mr. Piimley turned to the reporter and
said:
"The increase in the amount of money
we handle will interest if not astonish
you. The number of money orders
issued during the fiscal year was 7,240,-
537 for the whole United States. This
in money reached the enormous sum of
$100,352,818.93. Over a hundred
millions passed in absolute safety
through oar hands. The foes paid to
the Post Office Department reached the
aggregate of $916,452.80. For the. trans
action of all this an immense amount of
correspondence is necessary. We wrote
nearly 40,000 letters last year."
. "You spoke of the increase."
"True. If you are not tired of figures
I will give you some more. In 1879
we had 1,161, 378 transactions, amount
ing in money to $43,652,273.37. This
was an increase over 1878 of 100,119
transactions and $5,000,000. The next
year, 1880, showed 1,351,095 transactions
amounting in all to $51,231,740.04. This
was a gain over the previous year of
189.720 transactions, and $7,578,475.67
The work is constantly increasing. The
average of all the orders is $13." New

Dr. J. S. Jewell, says the Chicago
limes, delivered a lecture before the
Young Men s Christian Association at
FarweJl hall recently, his subject being
bleep and its Derangements. He said
that he knew of no more important sub
ject than that of sleep, and it was impor
tant that people should know more
about sleep and its derangements than is
generally Known. Bleep was evidently a
state in which the brain was principally
concerned. No other part of the system
was aflectect by sleet) as the brain was
It was a singular affair, he said, to have
a person alive and active drop into a
sudden state of unconsciousness. Yet
that was sleep, for in sleep the mind had
apparently ceased to act altogether.
Various theories for the cause of the
process of going to sleep had been ad
vanced. It had been supposed that the
brain became exhausted, worn out from
that constant activity, and then dropped
into what was called sleep.
But his theory was that sleep
was produced by anemia a lack of
blood for the brain. In sleep there was
always less blood circulating through
tee brain, he said, than when a person
was awake. When fatigue came on, and
tbe individual sought to fall asleep,
blood ceased to rush to the brain. The
Drain became latigned, inst as the mus
cles of the body, sometimes one portion
and sometimes another. This excitation
irrited the nerve fibres of the brain, and
by a self-regulating mechanism sleep
was produced. Epilepsy, which snapped

on one subject. He expressed his sur
prise and exclaimed:
"Oh Sheik, tell me, Allah bless us,
what's in them there books? It strikes
me, O Sheik, that the writer must have
been a fellow of exhaustless wind."
"Thou mistakes!, O Ben-high-dad;

O Ban-high-dad, listen! In those books
are recorded all the complaints and
faultfindings which Mrs. Haroun-con-founded
committed to the ears of that
mighty man during their wedded life.
And lo ! Ben-high-dad, the great Hash
i produced sleep by pressing upon certain
I arteries to prevent blood rushing to the

I sot sleep when they first lay down he
i attributed to a too rapid flow of blood to

! methods to superinduce sleep, such as
; irritating the body with a flesh brush to
attract .the current of blood from the

to tne Dram ; pernaps overwora, or ex
citement from reading or study, was the
cause. Toward morning such persons
might get a fitful, broken sleep, but
when they arose in the morning they
would feel nerveless and exhausted. ' He
cautioned his hearers to avoid active
mental work late at night, and just be
fore retiring. Again he said it was wrong
for persons to retire with a hot head and
coldness in the lower extremities. Sleep
under such conditions was impossible.
Sleeplessness might arise from the inju
dicious use of stimulants, such as tea and
coffee. Neither of these stimulants
should be taken by nervous persons in
the evening. As sleeplessness simply
meant insanity, sooner or later, the
speaker said that nervous persons who
could not sleep should use something to
diminish the nerve power. He believed
that chloral, or some of the bromides,
could be used without any pernicious-results
therefrom.
Parvenu Genealogies.
Among the less authentic anecdotes of
Napoleon I. is one which represents him
as tearing np the genealogy which obse
quious heralds had prepared for him, on
the ground that he was "the first of the
Bonapartes." Yet it is perfectly certain
that the parvenu Emperor indited a
book of elaborate ceremonial, and was as
careful to chronicle the roll of his ances
tral "cittidini" as he was to postdate his
birth by one year, so that he could claim
to have been born while Corsica was a
part of France. After Joachim Murat
had "aspired to descend" to the throne
of Naples, an array of brand-new ances
tors appeared in the Libra D'Oro, and
henceforth only disagreeable people
recollected that his Majesty had once
been a garcon in a Parisian cafe. Barna
dotte, when he became Prince of Ponte
Corvo, displayed a tendency to silence
regarding his father, the notary, who,
when his son ascended the Swedish
throne, suddenly acquired a conven
iently noble lienage. Jieaumarchais,
after he became a courtier, ostentatiously
spoke of the days when he was a watch
maker's apprentice. But at the same
time he took good care to let fall the
time-piece of the sneering noble, who
begged him to see what was wrong with
it. Lord Campbell was the son of a
humble Fifeshire minister. Yet, by the
time he was a Queen's counsel he began
to inquiraabout his arms and ancestors,
and soon afterward he had acquired a
touching beljef in his descent from some
of those Scottish Kings whom M. de Witt
has portrayed.
We have all heard the story of the
Highland chief who was indignant when
a flatterer hinted that his ancestor had en
tered the Ark with Noah, "for the Mac
ta vislies always had a boat of their own."
In a Welsh geanology of prodigious
length there is this casual remark in the
middle of it: "About this time came
the flood" a claim as modest as that of
Rabelais' Pantagruel, or of the Spanish
family, in whose gallery there is a pic
ture of Noah ushering into his vessel a
gentleman with a bag wig and sword,
and with a bundle of papers under his
arm, ostentatiously labelled "The title
deeds of the Quiros estates."
Republicanism is no barrier to the
pursuit. A "Knickerbocker family" in
New York looks down from an aristo
cratic height on the descendants of the
Jacobean adventurers, while there is not
a wider gulf between the lineal repre
sentatives of a Saxon Thegn and the last
city Baronet, than there is between the
Bos toner who "lives on the family
homestead," and the Irish immigrant
who has just been landed from the
Cunarder's steerage. To have a "coach
man with a bug on his hat" is the pride
of a Fifth avenue aristocrat; and "Boss
Tweed," when he started a carriage, dis
played on its panels the arms of the Mar
quis of Tweeddale. Genealogy in itself
is an agreeable study when it deals with
sages, warriors, and Statesmen. It is
only when it lands us near Newgate or
New South Wales that the science be
comes embarrassing. Dr. Johnson po
litely begged Mrs. Porter not to be dis
tressed simply because one of her uncles
had been hanged, for "he had several
who ought to have been;" and Sydney
Smith, when questioned about his grand
father, quietly observed that all he knew
was that "he disappeared about Assize
time, and the family had asked for no
particulars." London Standard.
An Old Preacher's Criticism.
In an interesting note to the Norwich
(Conn,) Bulletin a clergyman of that
city writes: "My personal acquaintance
with the Bev. Dr. Nott dates from the
day when, nearly 60 years ago, he called
at my father's house to invite me to come
up to preach for him. I was very ready
to accept the invitation. From that day
my intercourse with the family has been
frequent and intimate. The Last time I
preached for him, though really an ex
change with his colleague, Mr. Harrison,
I enquired for him as I entered the
house. His granddaughter replied with
a Bmile, 'He is in his study preparing for
the Sabbath.' I was not sure that he
knew me till walking down to the church
in the afternoon he observed, 'My ances
tors and yours came irom the same
place.' (Old Say brook.) I said to him,
'Doctor, it must be a relief to you to
have a colleague at your period of life
'He helps me a little, but I keep right
on ; it is better to wear out than rust out
At the close of the afternoon .service he
turned to me. 'I am glad that yon hap
pened along to preach for me to-day. I
have a cold in my head: I don't know
that 1 ever heard you preach before; I.
may have. His criticisms npon my
preaching at the ministers' meeting had
not made me oblivious to the fact that
he had heard me before. Speaking of
criticisms, Dr. Palmer, in a tribute to
ur. uaggett, notices the excellence ot
of his criticism in the ministers' meet
ing. Instituting no comparison, I can
not but' recall the critisms of Dr. Nott
late in life, his mind occasionally. flash
ing out despite the failure of his mental
powers generally, and his .memory in
particular. At the close of an earnest dis
cussion upon the advantages and dis
advantages of expository preaching,
when it came to the Doctor, he said:
'After all, brethren, it depends a good
deal npon the manner. A poor cook
will spoil any dish, and a good cook will
make almost any dish palatable.' It takes
rank with Dr. Daggart's suggestion that
a British barrister, when asked the se
cret of his success, replied, 'If I have
had any it is this: When I have made a
good point I suffer nothing to jostle it.' "
A triumph of science as well as of
mechanical art was achieved recently .at
the Brush Electric Light Works, in
Cleveland, Ohio, in the successful test
ing of a mammoth electric lamp, said to
be the most powerful generator of light
ever made by man. Its illuminating
power is fifty times as great as that of
the ordinary electric light, being equal
to that of 100,000 candles. The lamp
was built to order for the Britsh Gov
ernment, and is to be used in the British
navy, to scan the sea for torpedoes and
to furnish light in night engagements
and manoeuvers. With the aid of a sim
ple reflector a beam of light, it is esti
mated, can be projected 15 miles suf

of forty horse-power is required to pro

From the Portland Telegram.
About a year ago an old miner 60
years of age, by the name of J. C. Chaffa,
residing in Douglas county, about 60
miles northwest of Rosebur-r, lost-the
sight of his eyes from cataract. The old
gentleman is very poor and had to depend
on his labor for the means of subsistence.
His case was so pitiable that his neighbors
made up a purse for him and be was
brought here to the city and placed under
the care of Dr. J. B. Pilkington, the oci-u-bst,
who found it necessary to cut open
the eyeball to remove the '"opaque lens "
Assisted by Dr. Harvey, at the National
Hotel, two weeks ago to-dav, Dr. Pilking
ton performed Von Graafe's great opera
tion for the removal of cataract, with so
much success that the old miner was
to-day enabled to walk alone and una.ded
to the doctor's office, when his eye was
examined by several of our citizens. Mr.
Chaffa said that he suffered no pain from
the operation, and since that time has
been perfectly at ease. He can see quite
a distance, though his eyes are not yet
strong enough to bear the full rays of the
sun, but so confident is he of his perfect
recovery that he will return home by
to-morrow's train. The operation is one
that reflects great credit on our local sur
gical talent, and convinces sufferers that
Portland is indeed a metropolis where
skill is to be found in the medical profes
sion equal to that of older and more pre
tentious cities.
Briaal Tonrs.
An eminent physician of New York,
upon the occasion of his daughter's mar
riage, prohibited her from going on the
usual bridal tour. He did this from the
considerations of health and delieacy
which are not generally borne in mind,
the first experiences of a bride are such as
she would naturally want retirement and
rest rather than ostentations publicity.
A young couple in public cars and at
hotel tables, cannot keep the prescious
and happy secret all to themselves.
Their newly-formed relation tells itself
in a thousand ways. Of this the bride
is conscions, and the ordeal to a sensi
tive young woman is most trying. Then
the sudden change in the life of the
woman is liable to bring on physical de
rangements which may last a lifetime,
for the shock to an exaltation of her
faelings re-act on her body, often injur
iously. So the New York doctor we
have been speaking of ordered hte
daughter with her young husband, to
enter at once upon the duties of a new
home, and to postpone the tour until at
least a month had passed away. Of
course, there is another side of this
question. It may be that even the fond
est affection would not continue if two
people were forced to spend all their
time together without the distraction
necessitated by travel, and the reserve
necessary to be kept up in public places.
This is an interesting topic, and one
which might form a profitable subject to
debate in women's societies. It is a sub
ject, also, upon which women physicians
might be heard to advantage. Demo
