A GLOVE.
James Berry BenseL
Ah, yesterday I found a glove
Grown shabby, full of tiny rips,
But dear to me because my love
Once thrust through it her finger-tips.
A glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yet here I own there is for me
No relic in the world more sweet.
A faint, far scent of lavender
Steals from it, as the clover smelt
When through the fields I walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
Faith ! but I loved the little hand
That used to wear this time-stained thing 1
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart fluttering.
Or if it touched my finger, so,
Or smoothed my hair why should I speak
Of those old daysl It makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek.
Poor stained, worn-out, long-wristed glove!
I think it almost understands
That reverently and with love
I hold it in my trembling hands.
And that it is so dear to me,
With its old fragrance, far and faint,
Because my mother wore it, she
On earth my love, in heaven my saint
THE ARMIES OF THE FUTURE.
What a Pruisian 71a J or and a sVrencta
Colonel Have (o Say.
Chicago News.
Two noteworthy books have just ap
peared in continental Europe. One is
the "Nation Armies," by M. de Goltz, a
Prussian major. On the heels of it
comes a book called "l'Europe Sous les
Armee," by CoL Hennebert, the former
professor of the military school at St.
Cyr, France.
Both these works, from directly oppo
site political standpoints, agree in one
thing, which is that the first European
nation which relaxes its vigilance will
infallibly lose its military position and
frestigeand be the victim of every col
ision which might ensue. The Prussian
major says that if war is to be avoided a
nation can only escape it by being so
prepared that no other nation will dare
to be its aggressor; in other words, na
tions unwilling to perish by the sword
must become bankrupt in peace; they
have simply a choice between two evils
national subjugation or national insol
vency. f
While the French colonel is not so bru
tally frank as the Prussian major, in his
Gallican courtesy of speech, his postiion
smounts to about the same thing, while
both agree with Von Moltke that 4 'the
empire of the world is obtained only by
war and by war alone can be main
tained." Further than this the Prussian major
contends with his late chief now
on the retired list in effect
that the scientific war method now
adopted by Germany is inseparable
from an offensive brutality; that Ger
man tactics are to strike crushing blows
. on the field of battle; but, above atl,
that the foe must bo paralyzed by the
employment of gigantic masses, while
the conqueror says, with Mark Antony:
"Happen what may! misfortune is un
chained, let it go whither it will."
On his side, the French colonel, with
the idea of waking up and warning
France, which country he asserts i3
wholly unprepared, shows that not mere
armies but armed nations are hereafter
to meet on the battle-field. Deducting
everything, the real number of troops
available in the field in Europe now is:
Germany, 3,860,000; Russia, 2,500,000;
Austria," 1,265,000; Italy, 2,570,000.
This would give the triple 7,500,000, and
the quadruple alliance 10,000,000 com
batants, with 1,600 batteries of field
guns.
The same destructive emulation is
apparent in naval matters. When Italy
constructed 100-ton guns, England im
mediately produced a monster cannon of
200 tons, throwing a projectile of 6,000
pounds, piercing armor three feet thick.
For the last twelve years Woolwich ar
senal has turned out a field battery daily,
while England, Belgium, Italy, Ger
many, Russia, France and Austria are
expending millions yearly in defensive
and other fortifications.
But Col. Hennebert points out that it
is chiefly in Germany that offensive arm
aments are being created and offensive
works constructed; that these point in
two directions, toward France on the
west and Russia on the east; while, even
at the moment of writing, in the in
trenched camp at Strassburg, railroad
trains stand tilled "with supplies of all
kinds prepared to start in any direction
on receipt of a telegram from Berlin.
The conclusion of both writers 13 that
the next war must be of a destructive
violence which has been unknown up to
the present day; that on both sides will
be displayed, in this struggle to the
death, all moral and material forces pos
sible for the work of mutual annihila
tion. The Atmosphere of the Interior.
Clara Belle's Letter.
Permit me to instruct you in the mat
ter of furnishing your summer homes,
in case you are going to have any hand
in it. Carpets should be chosen with a
View to their being a background to the
furniture of a room, while the wall
papers must be selected with an eve to
their forming what may be termed the
atmosphere of -the picture made by the
interior. This is the foundation of the
new art ideas in furnishing houses,
either in the country or city. Walls,
therefore, should be papered or painted
in a manner that will not make tuem
more conspicuous than the furniture of
the room, and this dogma must rule
with regard to the decorations on the
walls.
. Therefore, whether paint, paper or
calcimine be put upon the walls, it
chould be in neutral tints and tertiary
colors. Choose, therefore, for your
country houses what are called quiet
colore for paper, paint and calcimine;
but for the friezes and dados let a more
decided taste njle, giving freedom and
boldness in the figures or flowers for
these decorative parts of your apart
ments. If j'ou decide to paper your
wall.?, let the grounds bo of an agree
able, soft color, and the figures as small
as the size of the apartment will permit,
and put on in vanishing effects, rather
than staring or striking; in a manner,
so to speak, as to give one a blow in the
eye.
In Spain.
Foreign Letter.
Here, if you ask a man for a light, the
chances are ten to one that he will pull
out a handful of brimstone matches and
offer you one, but that is never done
anywhere else. In Spain they make
quite a formal matter of asking for a
light. The gentleman who wishes that
accommodation approaches the smoker,
removes his hat, and says: "Will you
favor me with a light from your cigar?"
or words to that effect. The gentleman
addressed also removes his hat, then
carefully brushes the ashes from his
cigar and presents it with a bow. The
other man accepts it with an equally
elaborate abeisance, lights, returns the
weed, then both bow again, wish each
ther good day and depart.
A PUZZLE IN BOSTON.
The "Japanese Crystal," a IHIrror of
Second Sight.
Lilian Whiting in Inter Ocean.
We have been having a little private
sensation of our own here at Hotel Ven-
dome. I believe tho mid-summer davs
are the accepted season for these legends,
and this will give you a variation from
the annual sea-serpent. This little sen
sat ion of ours is a Japanese crystal. He
who has not looked into its depths has
vet one sensation of life, at least, in re
serve, and if he be curious in the tricks
and trances, of demonology, he has yet
something to live for. The Japanese
crystal is not common. It is cut in the
round, oval and egg shape, and varies
in its size. The egg shape is held to be
the best for experiment, and it
must be wrapped, or rather held, in a
piece of black cloth so that only the side
upper-most snail oe presented to me eye.
Black silk cannot be nsed as it is a non
conductor, but black woolen of any
kind will serve the purpose. The Jap
anese crystal is said to serve as a mirror
of the spiritual light in the hands of one
who has the mediumistic temperament.
Faces of those long since passed beyond
the shadowy portals of the silent land,
scenes that are recorded in the book of
fate to be sometime enacted; the faces
of people still unmet who will have to
do with our lives. All these, and more,
are said to be revealed in this stone, to
him who has the temperament through
which its revelations may come.
A party of people was grouped lafct
evening in a parlor on the fifth floor of
Hotel endome, so hign that no re
flections from the street were possible,
and it was suggested that the Japanese
crystal be examined. In the hands of
one of the party curious visions appeared
in it. The lady holding it had chanced
never to have seen the stone before, and
she looked incredulously as a face ap
peared to her in it. The first picture
was her own face (a natural reflection,
she thought, as she was looking into it),
but beside her own appeared the face of
a stranger whom she had never seen.
and, as has been said, the height of the
room from the street utterly precluded
the possibility of a reflection from with
out, and as she sat with her back to the
window there was the same impossibility
for any one or any picture in the room
to be reflected there. These two
pictures were succeeded by those of
strangers to the gazer, but when de
scribed were recognized by others in the
room and verified by photographs to the
lady who saw first these unknown faces
in the stone.
Then came a series of pictures. There
was a suspension bridge over a great
river, and apparently an accident to a
tram; this vanished, and there again
appeared the bridge with numbers of
people seeming to climb the trestle work,
as if to escape from drowning in the
water below; and with this a profound
impression tnat tne scene was some
months distant in the future. Space
would fail to relate the various tableaux
that appeared in that stone, and many
of the most singular circumstances and
coincidences and related associations can
not be narrated. Among other faces
appeared that of Emerson by the side of
a beautiful young woman, whom no one
in the room could recognize. The prop
erties of the Japanese crystal are very
singular, and in the hands of some per
sons even extraordinary.
A NOTED DUELIST.
The Method of Fighting- Adopted by
a Sicilian Baron.
Paris Figaro.
Baron de Sen Malata, a Sicilian and
a noted duelist, has recently come to
Paris to find a test of his skill as a com
batant. He has fought forty duels, but
in none of them has he been the chal
lenger. It is told of him that during a
heated pol tical canvass, in the course
of a discussion in a public s juare with
a first cousin, the latter called him by
some opprobrious epithet. The baron
replied:
"You are a coward !"
The cousin answered :
"Will you repeat that in five min
utes?" - Assuredly."
The cousin went home and returned
with a revolver in his hand. The baron
went up to him and said :
"Guiseppe, see here! .That revolver
don't suit your hand ; the stock never
was made for you ; for the life of you
you could not use the pistol.
As he ceased to speak he spit in his
cousins face. The suddenness and
strangeness of this speech and attack
so bewildered the cousin that he neither
said nor did anything. The baron spit
in his face again, x riends interfered,
The cousin challenged the baron.
The eve of the duel, the baron's
aunt, who knew what an expert sworJs
man he was, begged him to spare her
son s life, lie replied :
"Guiseppe shall return from the field
even without a scratch.
The duel took place. The cousin at
tacked furiously. The baron only par
ried. At last he turned his head and
looked at his seconds, until his adver
sary became so weak that he could no
longer ho!d his sword, when the sec
onds interfered and ended the duel.
At another time he was challenged bv
the best broad-swordsman in Sicily,
while he himself was not skillful with
his weapon. The broad-sword was se
lected by 4he seconds. On the field
the baron took his sword in both hands
and rushed upon h's adversary, using
the weapon as if it were a club. His
adversary retreated. They were put
in position again. . The baron disarmed
his adversary. A third time they were
put in position rat the first pass the
baron's sword broke within eight inches
of the hilt; his adversary kept on; the
seconds did not interfere. I he baron
became furious, rushed on his adver
sary, wounded him ; then turned on the
seconds and wounded every one of
them beginning with his own.
An Englishman's View.
George Alfred Townsend.
A British gentleman said to me dur
ing the week: "I wish we had force of
character and public opinion enough in
London to have such railroads as these
elevated ones of yours." . iiaid I: "Is it
possible that I see an Englishman who
concedes anything?" "Why," said he,
"almost every Englishman who goes
home exclaims against our underground
railroads. They are dingy, damp, sub
terranean, and here you ride to business
with not a shadow falling on your news-
Eaper, reading as you go, and every
andsome woman's face receives all the
benefit of the sunlight, and you can
look from one end of the car to the
other and recognize your friends." Said
I: "We gave up noble streets for such a
benefit." "Yes," said he, "and that is
where you are really a young, strong
nation; you recognize the greater neces
sities in spite of the little decencies.
You give your greets up for the benefit
of the many instead of hesitating at
the discomfiture of the few who may
not like the noise."

"Human knowledge lies on the sur
face," said Prof. Rothrock, in his new
lecture on the "Forests of the Sea." "We
know next to nothing with certainty
concerning the interior of the earth we
inhabit. What wonder, then, that the
sea. ever changing in its surface, should
withhold her secrets from us?" Still, in
the belief of the lecturer, much had been
revealed of the wonders of the deep
scientific research had opened ways and
means unknown to the searcher after
knowledge of a quarter of a century ago
and the present and future opened to
the eye oi tne naturalist hitherto mac
cessible fields of investigation. Not
least were those most wonderful
creations, the forests of the sea. Other
ages had woven about these fores
growths a web of mystery. Modem
science had torn the veil and revealed
structural existences in the deep waters
of the ocean more marvelous than earth
could produce. There were latitudes in
which the ocean forest flourished with
special luxuriance. Between the twen
tieth and forty-fifth degrees of north
latitude and west of the fortieth degree
of west longitude they occupy areas
that have been estimated at 260,000
square miles. Though storms at times
detach fragments from the whole, yet
for centuries these forests have held es
sentially the same position.
The most curious form is the sargas
sum, or gulf weed. It is olive green in
color, with round stems and large
leaves. It is found on the surface of
the deepest water in mid-ocean. It has
no soil and no roots. It lives and
grows upon the water alone. At times
its growth is sparse and irregular, but
often it grows so thickly as to impede
the progress of vessels. In such places
the sea has the appearance of a vas
inundated meadow, it was tne won
derful form of vegetation which the
vessels of Columbus encountered on
their memorable voyage to the new
world. The gulf weed is capable of in
finite reproductions and a single float
ing bulb will in an incredibly short
time cover the surface of the water with
its carious vegetation.
There are other forests of the sea,
more prolific of life than the forests o
the land, formed by the macrocystis
pvrifera, the mammoth of all known
plants. Differing from the gulf weed,
it is attached to rocks on the bottom o:
the sea and mark's with infallible cer
tainty the shallow portions of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, lhe otter-
kohl, or cabbage, has also its peculiar
work in the formation of the forest.
Not so large as the macrocystis, it yet
has an important bearing on the form
ation of the whole. There are others.
They each have their peculiar func
tions and uses m the economy of na
ture, but those functions and uses are
as vet but dimly understood. To the
future belongs the understanding of
the marvels that fare our zeal for re
search while they fill us with wonder
at their magnitude.
Chinese JHagle.
Chicago Times.
A gentleman who has lived among
the Chinese tells, as an illustration of
their abilities as magicians, an incident
that took place under his own eyes, and
in his own room, where, apparently,
there was no room for deception. The
magician was caked from the waist up
ward, and his magical instrument
seemed to be a strip of white cloth
twisted about his loins. Taking a dish
of uncooked rice, the juggler covered
it with his mysterious girdle, squatted
before it and began his incantations,
which continued half an hour. During
this process his bare arms were passing
to and fro beneath the cloth, and this
was all the gentleman could see him do.
At last the linen was removed, and lo I
there were six plates filled with cooked
edibles of various kinds, while a dish of
boiled rice had replaced the one coif
taining raw rice.
Another gentleman, describing how
he was deluded, says: "A juggler in
the open street seized a boy 5 or 6 years
of age, dragged him struggling into the
circle, threw him on his back, and, in
spite of the boy's agonized cries and
the remonstrances of the people, ap
parently nearly decapitated him.
I he victim gradually became motion
less, while the blood streamed from the
wound. Finally the magician removed
the knife, muttered a few words, called
aloud to the child, who soon showed
signs of life, and at last raised him to
his feet, when the boy appeared un
harmed. Both actors in this strange
scene were liberally rewarded by the
crowd, and the boy ran off to play with
his wondering companions."
A Homesick Actress.
Cor. Boston Herald.
Mary Anderson's cordial reception in
London was a foregone conclusion ; she
may not command the unreserved ad
miration of the critics, but she will cer
tainly bave the allegiance of the English
public. For some weeks before her
debut Miss Anderson was in a state of
great nervous tension, not to say de
spondency. She felt that the crucial
test was at hand, having an exaggerated
idea of the temper of the London pub
lic, who, on the contrary, are never in
sensible to youth, beauty, and her
many advantages, and are quite willing
to concede something .to an actress of
several years' experience. She was so
"homesick" in the good old-fashioned
way that she cried herself to sleep
every night ; but matters improved with
the arrival of other members of her
family to join her brother "Joe" and
the young' lady who had accompanied
her abroad as a companion.
A Swedish Drinking- Custom.

You take wine with your neighbor in

must also, after having sipped the wine,
bow t gain, or rather you must retain
the glass in your hand and slightly
bending over it, look for a moment
straight in the eyes of him or her with
whom you are drinking. That is the
custom, and a very pretty one it is, par
ticularly when the eyes into which it is

"I am a great deal stronger than when I

tell you. It stopped the neuralgia. I
took cold and feared that I would have it
for two or three weeks, as I generally stood
the pain for that long before I would take
chloral, the only thing that ever stopped it
before, and I disliked to take It so much
that I would put it off until I thought I
could not live for the agony. But this time
it only lasted two days. When I began

"It Las become so common to begin an
article, in an elegant, interesting style,
"Then run it into some advertisement
that we avoid all such,
"And simply call attention to the merits
of Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms
as possible,
"To induce people
"To Rive them one trial, which so proves
their value that they will never use any
thing else." '
"Thk Remedy so favorably noticed in all the
papers.
Religious and secular. Is
" Having a large sale, and is supplantlnjr all
other medicines.
"There is no denying the virtues of the Hop
plant, and the proprietors of Hop Bitters have
shown great shrewdness and ability
" In compounding a medicine whose virtues
are so palpable to every one's observation."
Did She Die?
"No!
"She lingered and suffered along, pining
away all the time for years,"
"The doctors doing her no good;"
"And at last was cured by this Hop Bit
ters the papers say so much about."
"Indeedl Indeed!"
"How thankful we should be for that
medicine." "
A Daughter's Misery.
"Eleven years our daughter suffered on
a bed of misery,
"From a complication of kidney, liver,
rheumatic trouble and Nervous debility,
"Under the care of the best physicians,
"Who gave her disease various names,
"But no relief,
"And now she is restored to us in good
health by as simple a remedy as IIopBlt
ters, that we had shunned for years before
using it." The Parents.
Father Is Getting Well.
"My daughters say:
"How much better father is since he
used Hop Bitters."

TESTIMONIALS.
Mrs. V. K. gldley, No. 8848 Ellis avenue.
Chicago. HL, says: "We have used Papillon
Cough Cure for all kinds of coughs la our fam
ilies. We have never known a case of wbooDinar
cough that the syrup failed to cure. We rec
ommend it to every one and wish every family
had a bottle of it on hand."
Mrs. Mary K. Richards, No. 3827 Ellis avenue,
writes June 30. 1882: "I owe you many thanks
for the courtesy last Saturday evening in send
ing me the medicine I so much wished for. I
was first enabled to try your whooping cough
remedy (Papillon Cougn Cure), through the kind
ness of my neighbor. Mrs. W. K. Bldley. and
it gave such great relief to my little girl that
when the second child was attacked. I coveted
the same relief for her. I know of no other
medicine which so much mitigated a malady,
generally so distressing, and feel very appreci
ative of my good fortune in obtaining It. '
Mrs. M. D. Davis. No. 3839 Ellis avenue, and
Mrs. Jas. M. Buchanan. No. 3831 Kills avenue,
also recommend Papillon Cough Cure for
whooping cough; it cured their children, one an
Infant mil v a tf.tr weeks nld whom another mr.
oxyam would have choked to death, as its life
had been for some nours aespairea oi.
It is a harmless vegetable syrup, very deli
cious, and is for sale by all druggists.
