An Improved Waterproof Garment. An improved waterproof garment has been patented in England which it is claimed possesses thorough ventilation. Tho top portion of the back of tho gar ment below the collar, or neck band, is formed by letting in a piece of fabric which,is not treated with India rubber, but is simply acidized or otherwise treated for the purpose of rendering tho same shower proof, when not intended to bo covered by n collar or cape; or it may be, in some cases, such as when it is is intended to bo covered by a collar or cape, it simple woven or openwork fabric not treated with acid. Tlio form of tho inserted piece may bo somewhat triangular, crescent shaped or otherwise, as found most convenient, tho object being to dove tail into the garment between the shoulders a fabric which will permit of the egress of perspiration from the wearer's body without the necessity of an ugly or awkward appearance. An other portion of tho improvement is to lino the back of the garment with a pieco of lace or fabric of an openwork nature, having woven or manufactured thereon tho name of the manufacturer of the garment or other name. Cloth ier and Furnisher. A Itooiuernng. Representative Uansbrough, of North Dakota, and a party of friends were informally discussing members of con gress, when someone asked, "What do you think of Amos f 'ummings?" "I think," said one of the correspondents, who had just met Uansbrough for tho first time, "that Amos is a mighty good newspaper man, but he has degen erated. Any newspaperman who con cents to occupy tho seat of a member of congress lias got pretty far down." Uansbrough said nothing until some body laughed and asked, "What is your business when you aro at home, Uansbrough?" "I'm a newspaperman," ho replied, and his new acquaintance suddenly remembered that ho had business elsewhere. Cor. Chicago Her ald. Novel Mcut Chopper. A new meat chopper for domestic nso is distinguished by tho fact that tho meat is cut by an action liko that of u pair of scissors and is not torn apart: neither is it ground into ti greasy pulp. Tho forcing scrow feeds tho meat up to a knifo with eight radial blades, re volving between a fixed two bladed knifo and a cutting plato of novel con struction. Tho plato has n number of grooves converging toward a central aperture, the ribs between tho grooves having sharp cutting edges. The work is well and rapidly done.

"Mrs. McClintock," ho said, in a fixed, determined voice, "I allow only one person to talk to mo in that way." "And who may that bo?'' 3ho de manded, threateningly. "You, my dear," ho roplled softly, as ho removed his feet. London Tit Bits. Why Ho Slid Out. Blenkinsop (closing tho agnostic dis cussion) Well, I confess I can't enduro a sermon.

Until within a few years only a smnll number of even the wealthiest persons, especially in America, felt that they could nfford to include peacocks among their pets. Tho feathers wero costly, and every woman prided herself upon the possession of a few In her lionnet. If she were for tunate enough to have a fnn made of these feathers she felt proud indeed. Gradu ally, ns the hunters secured larger quan tities, wealthy people began to nso them for decorative purposes. Elegant screens, 6omc with tho feathers spread thinly on a cloth surface, and others, which were more costly, with the feathers closely sewed together; fans with silver handles, Eofa cushions and chair seats were made of the brilliant plumnco. The feathers were even used in the decoration of walls, and for friezes nud dadoes. Hut suddenly, and apparently without cause, tho demand ceased. The feathers that had previously been tho joy of tho owner, wero looked upon with distaste and pronounced out of fashion. They wero ruthlessly torn from tho hats they hnd adorned, from walls and screens, and thrown into the rubbish heaps. Whence canto this sudden and unex plained dislike? The reporter was told that an ancient superstition to tho effect that peacocks nnd peacocks' feathers wero sure to bring bad luck to their owner had been revived and had brought about the downfall of the fashion. Ho mado in quiries at the stores where peacock feath ers wero formerly supplied, nnd found that tho demand for them had ceased en tirely. At Tiffany's it was said that they had not sold a fan or screen of peacock feathers for soveral years. Customers never ask for them. Tho reporter was in formed at other houses that feathers that formerly sold at high prices can now bo obtained for twenty-five, fifty nnd scventy flvo cents a bunch. A number of impor ters said that they were used very little. New York Sun. Tlio Instinct of Leadership. While, to make a great captain, all tho mental and physical qualities must exist in tho greatest possible strength, varieties of theso in combination, to a greater or less degree, have been possessed by gen erals of less or greater reputo in the world's history, and tho number nnd in tensity of theso qualifications in tho com bination give the general his relative place in the list of great soldiers. Some generals aro only brilliant upon tho battle field, and some even only in particular phases of a battle, though they may pos sess certain qualities of a great leader to an extent which amounts, in its way, to nn exhibition of genius ns great as any great captain has ever shown. The particular quality which mado Na poleon seize the colors nnd incite his troops to follow him at tho bridge of Areola is well worthy of attention as being, at times, a most important factor in a battle. Alexander and Henry of Navarre, wero leaders whoso personal power on the battle field may bo said to have directly influenced many of their victories. Many of Napoleon's lieutenants had this instinct of leadership; Lannes nnd Mnsscna to an eminent degree. Washington showed it in the power of his personal presence to change a retreat into an attack, and Scott mado a brilliant display of it at tho battlo ot Lundy's Lane. Tho civil war shows but little of this divine gift. Gen. C. F. Smith may bo said to have had tho genius of battle highly developed in him. ns was conspicuously shown at tho battlo of Fort Doneison. It is not always given to genius to succeed in these efforts. Na poleon failed at the battlo of Areola, though it is possible that tho desporato fighting around his person on tho cause way kept tho enemy closely employed until another force had taken the town in rear, and that, therefore, his act secured his great victory. Gen. "Haldy" Smith, in North American Review. Calls for Doniestia Aiiiinuli. In controling tho movements of do mestic animals by the voice, besides words of ordinary import, man uses n variety of peculiar terms, calls and inarticulate sounds not to include whistling which vary in different localities. In driving yoked cattle and harnessed horses, team sters cry "get up," "click, click" (tongue against teeth), "gee," "haw," "whoa," "whoosh," "back," etc., in English speaking countries; "arre," "arri," "juh," "gio," etc., in European coun tries. In the United States "gee" directs the animals away from tho driver, henco to the right; but in England the samo term has the opposite effect, be cause the driver walks on the right hand side of his team. In Virginia, mule driv ers geo tho animals with tho cry "hey-yee-eo-a." In Norfolk, England, "whoosli wo;" in France, "hue" and "huhaut;" in Germany, "hott" and "hottej" in some parts of Russia "liaita" servo tho samo purpose. To direct animals to tho left, another series of terms is used. In call ing cattlo in tho field, tho following cries aro used in tho localities given: "boss, boss," "sake, sake" (Connecticut); "coo, coo" (Virginia); "sook, sook," also "sookey" (Maryland); "sookow" (Ala bama); "tlon, tion" (Russin); nnd for calling horses, "kope, kopo" (Maryland and Alabama); for calling sheep, "ko nanny" (Maryland); for calling bogs, "chee-oo-oo" (Virginia). Science. Clltr Dwelling of Morocco. It was not until last year thnt tho Moors would permit any examination of the cliff dwellings which havo long been known to exist some days' journey south west of tho cit y of Morocco. This straugo city of tlio cave dwellers is almost exactly like some of those in New Mexico and other territories which archaeologists have explored. The dwellings were dug out of the solid rock nnd many of them nro over 200 feet iibove tho bottom of tho valloy, Tho face of the cliff is in places perpen dicular, and it is believed that the troglo dytes could havo reached their dwellings only witli tho aid of rope ladders. Some of tho dwellings contain three rioms, tho largest of which is about 17x7 feet, nnd tno wnlls of tho larger rooms are generally pierced by windows. Nothing is known as to who theso cave dwellers were. Now York Sun. Electric Signals for Army HcouU. Briefly, tho schenio ii this.

A TRAVELER DESCRIBES HIS EX PERIENCE IN THIS LINE. I Trom Mnrtlgny to tlio Hoplc of tlio Grrnt St. llernaril llrt Indication ot Something Wrong Strange and Dell clou Scusatlviio. On the particular occasion referred to, I etnrted from Mnrtlgny nt 0 n. m. and in tended to traverse the thirty milus to the hospice of the Great St. Bernard before night. Time being of consequence, I thought it prudent, so ns to get to the summit of the pais before dark, nottostop for a meal to be cooked at Orsieres or Liddes, but pressed forward to tho last place Veforo the snow tramp commenced, the Cantino do Proz. There 1 met with a young noblemnn and his guide. After an interchange of Inquiries, and nn offer on my part of some cliocolato and biscuits to tho other travelers, as the cantine was hard up that day in eatables, we set out together, and had crossed tho Plan de Ma rengo without any presentiment of what was going to happen. The first indication of something wrong wa3 the peculiar ap pearance which my surrouudings seemed to assume. Everything looked lnzy to my vision even tho snow and tho rocks lying about looked ns if enveloped in a fog, although the afternoon was beauti fully clear. Then I felt that I must sit down and enjoy it; but tho guide's fiask of kirschwnfser set 1110 going again. Very soon, however, the former feeling re turned; but the samo treatment tempo rarily recovered me. At last I took to stumbling along, fell down several times, and at length could not help myself. My companions urged me in vain to nrouso to one more effort, but it was useless. The guide's experience was now of tho utmost service. Divining the exact stato of the case, and what might happen, ho took a very sensible course. Leaving the marquis to see to me, lie hurried forward to meet the two monks who always camo down from tho hospice nt a particular hour each day, so as to obtain their efficient help. On their arrival, tho mar quis either went on, on his own account, or was requested to go forward with the news. Anyhow, 1 was informed the next tiny thnt his report was, that "M. lo had perished in the snows." In tho meantime tho two monks and guido took me in hand, and, shaking mo up, mado my hands clasp a belt around tho guide's waist, nnd each ot the monks took an arm. The former acted as a substitute for horse power and tho two latter as wheels. As for myself I was fast becom ing a dead weight. Between the cantine and the hospice there is a spaco of seven and a half miles of very rough walking, uphill, of course, and with a depth of several feet of snow where tho enntonniers had not cleared a path. I suspect that my deliverers had a very difficult task, over at least five miles, to keep mo from getting into that bleep from which there is no waking. The sensations of that journey during occasional gleams of consciousness will never bo erased from my mind. Is there such an essence of ecstatic delight as elixir mortis? if there is, it must havo been something liko it, or tho very thing itself, which I enjoyed that day. No words can possibly express the surpassing desire which I felt to sit down and enjoy my felicity and sleep. Hut my inexora ble friends knew that sleep meant death; and though my repeated appeals of "Uoucement, douceinent," wero plaintive enough, they were met by redoubled efforts to force 1110 onward, even when my own legs would not move any longer. Tho collap-x' was complete. During tho sus tained efforts of the three men, I had but momentary glimpses of consciousness. I remember seeing two somethings, black, one on each side, but very indistinct. Ther-e, of course, were tho friendly monks. The one overwhelming idea that filled my mind then was how to get to that sleep, that bliosful euthanasia which poets have Ming about, but which my companions were doing their best to rob me of, just when 1 had got it within my grasp. Another lucid interval occurred just ns we approached the door of the hospice, for I saw two or three of tho dogs; and then I was lost again, till 1 found myself in the large room, surrounded by several of tho canons. One administered some extract of orange llowers, and that was followed by somo warm broth. Then another tugged off my boots, socks, etc., nnd be tween them, somehow or other, they got mo into bed. (This particular room would not have been mine if I had gone as an or dinary traveler usually does. I am under tho impression that it was looked upon as the best bedroom, being tho one used by Napoleon Bonaparte when ho stopped at the hospice en route to the Italian cam paign.) In the night I woke, breathing very quickly and very hard. Tho room itself had tho appearance of being ono muss of cotton wool. Congestion of tho lungs had got hold of mo now, nnd I felt very ill indeed. Hut, however, tho next morning I did what tho monks had inef fectually tried to impress upon mo tho night before, and I mado n'. effort. My first duty to others was to see tho excel lent guide and mako him a duo acknowl edgment; nnd as tho noble nnd heroic monks, who live only for others, would not hear of anything but thanks, I had recourse to the tronc of tho church. To tho threo men I am. humanly speaking, indebted for my life. A grateful heart need never bo ashamed of its precious burden. Chambers' Journal. Kz)rienro In Congress. To go through congress is liko going through n university course. Within tho balls of the Capitol there aro freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors in tho school of statecraft, and it often tnkes somo several terms past tho senior ono be fore they becomp statesmen and udepts in diplomacy. Then they become valuablo counselors to tho executive and judiciary departments.

Birmingham Age. A JlrenUfuit In Cotu Illcii. It is rather amusing to notice that in all hotels in this country thu first ques tion propounded by tlio waiter, as ho places your chair at the breakfast table, is, in what manner will you have your eggs prepared? That a permit can cat nm breakfast without eggs seems to be a monstrous impoiliiJity. Not having hnd the pleasure of breaking biead or tho shell of his matutinal egg in tho house of any native, the traveler cannot truthfully btato whether till is fin actual necessity or not. C. H. Cmnl lu Sun Franeifeco Chronicle. Tlio Author of Iirnn Doone. R. D. Blackinoro lives in great retire ment nt his pretty villa residence, "Shortwood," close to Teddington sta tion, which latter place, by tlio way, is nn innovation not nt all to tho taste of tho veteran novelist, who built his homo beforo tho station existed, and now re grets its proximity. Mr. Blnckmoro's hobby is his garden. In front thero is n trimly kept lawn, surrounded by flour ishing beds where rhododendrons, pico tees, roses of every hue and old fashion ed country llowers vio with each other in abundance. Behind is tho fruitful orchard, his groat pride, where straw berries, currants, stono fruits, pears and apples are to be found in such plenty that much of it is sold in the fruit mar kets. It has always been Mr. Blackmore'a custom to work a few hours daily in his garden, and this seems to bo his favorito recreation. Mr. Ulaekinore is now over 70 years of ngy. and a widower. His two nieces reside with him. In figuro ho is rather short and thick set, with white hair and whiskers: His face is strongly lined, and tho blue eyes and bushy oyo brows nro very characteristic. Ho re minds one somewhat of "Uncle Corny" in his latest work, "Kit Kitty," tho hero of which, strangely enough, is n market gardener living nt ono of the river vil lages a little higher up than Teddington. Toronto Mail. Senators anil I'lower. Senator Teller has ono of tho prettiest gardens in tho northwest. And old what stories tho roses could tell there! Tho senator's favorito relaxation nil snu mer is to pay diligent ntteution to his flower beds. Constituents, caucus managers nnd other gentlemen who want to whisper little suggestions in tho senator's ear find him every ovening armed with a hoso sprinkler going around among tho flowers, and ns tlioy talk thoy follow him around from bush to bush. They might uot get all thoy want, but tho senator has pleasure and relaxation from his garden work, and boasts the prettiest kept lawn and flower beds in his neighborhood. Senator Evarts has a nico garden, but ho does not deserve any special mention for it. It is Mrs. Evarts' particular caro and prido to spend her mornings weed ing tho beds, and when tho senator and herself sit down for their after dinner talk thoy get a great deal of pleosuro from viewing tho bright blossoms all around tho windows. Washington Let ter. "Money (Joes." Tho old saying that "inonoy gooT was illustrated recently. A customer tendered a $20 bill. Tho tradesman had it changed by a neighbor, who, being in a hurry, gave a pocket pieco of $10 in gold of tho issue of 1801, which ho prized highly and did not want to part with. Ho went to tho tradesman as soon as ho had given tho valued coin, and tho lat ter went out and hunted up tho custo mer to whom ho hnd given it. Ho hod bought somo cigars at n neighboring storo and had given tho gold pieco in payment. Upon going to tho cigar storo it was found that tho proprietor had trans ferred the coin to a saloon keeper near by, and at that place it was found that tho saloon keeper had used it in liquida ting his brewery bill. Tho next day n neighbor went to tho brewery and found that tho cashier of that institution had just parted with tlio coveted pieco of money to a dissatisfied employe. The individual was at last located and the coin recovered. Chicngo Times. American Iluzors In Drmnnil. Tho best razors no longer como from Sheffield, and even Englishmen aro nlive to tho fact.

Formerly nothing without a genuino or fraudulent Shef field trado murk cnt into tho blado would bo looked at by an ex-subject of Queen Victoria, but now American goods nro generally preferred, and somo eastern makes aro very popular. Tho greatest run tho last two years has been on a razor with a distinctly military name, and although I havo sold a great many of tho kind I don't know where thoy aro mado. But tho fact is immaterial, for no purchaser ever finds fault with any thing connected with ono in any respect save price, and even that is not serious ly objected to.

The Commotion Canned lijr the Statement of a rhyilrlHii. An unusual article from tho Roches ter, (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was recently republished in this paper and was a subject of much comment. That the article caused even more commotion in Rochester, the following from the same paper shows : Dr. J. It. lienion, who is well known not only in Roeluster, but in nearly every part of America, sent nn extended article to this paper a few dnys since, I which as amy puoiisneo. detuning nis ' remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would he iuiossll)lo to enumerate the personal inquiries which liavo been made at our olliee ns to the validity of the article, but they have been so num erous thnt further "investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a 'representa tive of this paper called on Dr. lienion at his residence, when the following in terview occurred: "That article of yours, Doctor, bus created quite a whirl wind. Aro the statements alwut the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such 11s you can sustain?" " Every one of them and manv addi tional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first nnd most simple symptoms. I did not think 1 was sick. It is true I hud frequent headaches; felt tired most of the tiino ; could eat noth ing ono day and was ravenous tho next; felt dull pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious. "The medical profession has been (renting symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high timo it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or anv unusual action or irritation of tho water channels indicate tho approach of kidney disease more than a cough an nounces the coming of consumption. We do not treat tho cough, but try to help tho lungs. Wo should not waste our time trying to relievo the headache, pains about the body or other symp toms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source ot most of these ailments." "This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half tho deaths which occur arise from BrightV disease, is it, Doctor?" "Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day, which in reality are Brigbt's disease" in somo of its many forms. It iH a Hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. 1 enn look back and recall hundreds of dentha which physicians declared at the timo were caused by pa ralysis, apoplexv, heart disease, pneu monia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I see now were caused by Brigbt's disease." " And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?" ' " Every ono of them, and might have been cured as I was by tho timely use of the samo remedy. 1 am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also." Mr. Warner, who wns visited at his establishment on N. St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly : " It is truo that Brigbt's disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from '70 to '80 its growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has car ried nil', and is taking oil' every year, for while many aro dying apparently of paralysis and apoploxy. they aio really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week tho papers record the death of soiiio prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, tho in cro'HO lias been checked ,and I nttributo this to the general use of my remedy." " Do von think many people are af flicted with it to-day who do not realize it. Mr. Warner?" "A prominent professor in a New Or leans medical collego was lecturing be fore his class on the subject of Brigbt's disease Ho had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what tho indications of thin terrible malady were. 'And now, gen tlemen,' he said, ' as wo havo seen tlio unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,' and ho submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As ho watched tho re sults his countenance suddenly changed his color and command both left him, and in a tremblii g voice ho said : 'Gen tlemen, I have made a painful discovery ; have Brigbt's disease of tho kidneys;' and in less than a year he was dead. Tho slightest indications of any kidney diffi culty should bo enough to strike terror to nhy one." " You know of Dr. Honion's caso?" " Yes, I have both read and heard of it." " It iB very wonderful, is it not?" " No more ho than a great many others thnt havo como to my notice as having boon cured by the samo menus." " You believe then that Brigbt's dis ease can lie cured." " I know it can. I know it from my own and tho experience of thousands of prominent persons who wero jdvon up to die by both their physicians and friends." " You speak 01 your own experience; whut was it?" "A fearful ono. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I ilid not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought thero was little hope, nnd ho did tho doctors. I havo since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed 1110 out to a gentleman on tho street one day, saying: 'Thero goes a man who will bo (lead within a year.' 1 believe his words would have proved truo If I had not fortunately used tho remedy now known as Warner's Safo Cure.'f " Did you mako a chemical analysis of tho case of Mr. II. II. Warner some threo years ago, Doctor? was asked Dr. S. A. Lattiinoro, 0110 of the analysts of the Stuto Board of Health." " Yes, sir." " What did this analysis show you?" ' A serious disease of tho kidneys." " Did you think Mr. Warner could ra cover?" " No, sir, I did not think it possible." " Do you know anything ubout tho remedy which cured him?" " I have chemically analyzed It, and find it pure and harmless." Tho standing of Dr. lienion, Mr. War ner and Dr. iatUnioru in the commu nity is beyond question, and the state ments they make cannot for a moment bo doubted. Dr. Honion's experience shows that Brigbt's disease of the kid neys is one of the iiiovt deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that It is ex ceedingly common, hut that it can be cured If taken in time. Driven to Sulcliln by Lore of II In Dead Dog. Sidnoy Clay was a London buildor'n clerk living in Enston road. Ho was 3(t years of ago and hnd a wifo and several children. A sister-in-law lived with tho family, and this lady had a pet dog, u toy terrier called Peep, which beenmo a great favorite with all. Clay took tho pet dog for n walk and lost it; presuma bly the creaturo was stolen, for it was extraordinarily small and marvelonsly intelligent. Clay made every effort to recover the pet, but failed. Thereupon ho became despondent and moody, and four months later ho suddenly fell dead in the fnmily sitting room. At tlio post mortem examination it transpired that tho man had taken u doso of cyanido of potassium with suicidal intent. It seems that clay had for a long timo contem plated making away with himself, for 11 letter (which hnd been written threo months) addressed to his wifo was found upon his person. "To tho best and dearest of women, Marian, my wifo," ho wrote; "thero nro times in tho life of a man wlip n ho is su premely happy. Such has been my lot with you until quito recently. Then comes a downfall such as has befallen me.
