Nothing atnikes an observing Amer­ ican upon his first visit to Europe with greater force than the lack of those comforts und conveniences in the dwell­ ings of even the wealthiest classes which in his own country are considered indispensable necessities. We are quick to seize upon the latest discoveries in science anil tho arts which can in auy way render our homes more attractive, or the cares of housekeeping less burden­ some, w hile the more conservative Euro­ peans are content to live as their fathers did before them, and would consider it a sacrilegious extravagance to tear up the floors or walls of their dwellings for the purpose of introducing steam or water pipes. The climate of England is damp and cold, hut the almost Uni­ versal w ay of warming is by open fire­ places of soft Coal, which usually de­ velop much more smoke than heat. Hot-air or steam furnaces an« prac­ tically unknown, and the only means of beating railway carriages is by cans of hot water placed apon the floor. Under favorable cir­ cumstances. these w ill sometimes pre­ vent. the soles of one’s fbet from freez­ ing. hut their influence rarely extends any further. Only the very wealthiest persons abroad allow' themselves tho luxury of a private bath-room, and the idea of sot howl w’ith hot and cold water faucets in a sleeping-chamber isa refinement of effeminacy and extrava­ gance at which even a monarch would tiestitato. The houses of London are provided with a tank, into which the water is allowed to flow for a certain length of time every day, after which it is turned off, and there is no more to be bad until tho visit of the water com­ pany’s official the next day. The “bed­ room candle,” to which such constant illusion is made in foreign novels, is no figure of speech, hut a very disagreea­ ble reality, for gas is rarely or never in­ troduced into sleeping-rooms. A mod- iern American house, with all the re­ cent improvements, is a most wonderful iffair, and an inspection while being constructed gives one a good idea of the ? xh nt to which the arts and sciences are applied to minister to our comfort. The space between the w’alls is crowded with tubes and pipes of e<’ery descrip­ tion. Steam, gas, hot and cold water »re carried to all parts of the building, speaking-tubes and ventilat.ing-shafts »re connoeted w ith every room, while great cables of insulated win* as large *s a ship’s hawser illustrate the mani­ fold uses to which electricity may l»e put.

As regards sanitary and drainage arrangements, their construction has become a science in itself. Take it altogether, the Amer­ ican householder has no cause to regret his lot. A recent writer has said that in some things we are measurably be­ hind the Europeans, hut in many things we are immeasurably ahead of them, and in no respect is this more true than in our domestic arrangements. It may lx* safely said that then* is not a royal palace in all Great Britain or Europe which is as luxurious, or even comforta­ ble, as the house of the average Ameri­ can of moderate means, and in no coun­ try in the world is the greatest blessing of life—a happy and comfortable homo —so readily wdthin the reach of all as in our own land.

Whose Truth U VoftcheJ For by the Kelator. Harry Moore, of the Boston grain trade, has just been down to M aine, S to ry though he did uot go deer hunting, at 1 he will do later: for the forests were toe ' full of falling leaves. But he did get hold of a good deer story, and ail the better from having happened this sea- , son. Harry vouches for the truth of ' this deer story, and brings the natnoe (g reputable hunters in Maine to prove it. Mr. Harding, a very respectable busi­ ness man of Bangor, told the story the other evening as they sat by the fire­ side. The evening was chilly and the birch backlogs lent a cheerful blaze. Harding had been hunting only tho day before. With a friend he had tried the deer grounds of Gouldaboro. They had hunted nearly all day without a sign of a deer, other than the tracks, and wrere about discouraged. At last they cam e to a brook, and beyond the brook a deer. Here Harding’s friend and guide wm | sure that they ought to sight a deer and very cautiously they passed the brook. There were fresh tra ck s that led up the hill. Harding took one set ! of very largo tracks and his ftien d i another. Cautiously he followed up ' tho hill till he got whore he dared , to peep over. lie lay flat on his 1 stomach and took a look. Tho first sight, was disappointing. There were j cattle browsing—the land was partdallp cleared. But about one hundred yarde beyond tho cattle, though some of the j cows had hells on. there was a beautiful buck. Ho stood head on; his qu ick ear ot scent had detected the presence of a more dangerous enemy than the oows w’ith hells on. Harding had nothing4>ut a muzzle-load ing rifle, hut one with | which he had done some fine work, lie was a man of quick thought and of qu ick action. Ho glanced along the barrel. 1 In his crawling over the hill he had broken off the forward sight of his rifle, but the magnificent deer stood there, head erect and just ready to jump. Harding was hound to shoot, and he pointed tho rifle as best he could. The report startled the eows into a run, bqj tho buck fell as stiff as a log. Harding shouted to his friend and ran to cut the deer’s throat with his hunting knife. He came up to where the animal had fallen, hut ho was gathering up and was nearly erect, though rather dizzily, sod wae beginning to got away. This would never do. Harding was as quiok of ac­ tion as of thought, and he made a gr4h for the buck and just succeeded in get­ ting a good hold of tho short tall of the beast. Here he hung on for dear l i f e - dear death it proved—and tho buck be­ gan to hound away. The ground was covered with hummocks and loga, bet Harding hung on. Here ho paused ia his story. “ Harry, did you ever, when you wore a hoy, try t>o hang on to the tailboard df a wagon. yWith tho driver whipping up his horsed in order to shako you off?” “ Yes.,1 have.*’ WeM. you know just how that, deer was mb king my legs hum, only I oould not hA go as easily as yoe eould led fe w agon on tho sm ooth read, and H of tile w wq^ild not do to lot go, for I w anted thm brtok.

The European saw no signs of springs or water; but the native conducted him to a group of tall, palm-like trees, stand­ ing in a cluster on theedgaof the forest, with straight trunks and bright-green, broad leaves growing from the opposite sidos of the stálk. and making the tree appear like a great fan. The white man gazed admiringly at the tree. “ Y’ou think it is a fine tree,** said the native, “but I will show you what it is good for.” He pierced the root of one of the leaf-stems, at the point when* it joined the tree, with his spear, w*hereiipon a stream of clear water spurted out, which the European caught in his water can. and found cool, fresh, and excelent to drink. The party having satisfied their thirst and taken supper, the native who had spoken went on. “This tree, which is good for ns in more ways than one, we call the travel­ er’s tree.” “ But where does the water come from that the tree contains?” asked the white man. “ Is it taken up from the ■oil?” “Oh. no,” said the native.
