T ,Romance Seduced to Figures. Thereto an English literary man who at the end of each year penetrates into the published fiction and extracts therefrom very often some exoeedingly interesting figures. , The results of his researches into Iasi year's fiction are entertaining. Of the heroines portrayed in novels he " finds 372 were described as blondes, while 190 were brunettes. Of the 662 heroines, 437 were beautiful, 274 were married to men of their choice, while 30 were unfortunate enough to be bound in wedlock to the wrong man. The heroines of fiotion, this literary statie- *totem claims, are greatly improving in health and do not die as early as in previ- ew years, although consumption is still in the lead among fatal maladies to which they suoqumb. Early marriages, however, Ire on The increase. ,The personal °hernia of the heroines included 980 "expressive eyes " and "792 shell like ears." Of the eyes, 543 had a dreamy look, 390 flashed ere, while the remainder had no special ettribates. Eyee of brown and bine are in the ascendant. There was found to be it large inorease in the number of heroines *D possessed dimplea ; 502 were blessed tpith sisters and 342 had brothers. In 47 Cases mothers figured as heroines, with 112 Children between them. Of these 71 chil- dren were .resoued from Watery gravee. Eighteen of the husbands of these heroines 'Were fond to be bigamiote, while seven husbands had notes found in their pockets exposing "everything." And thus is the Omuta° of a year reduced to figures.

Whilst the importance of keeping pare the air of living -rooms during the day is recognized by a large majority of the educated classes at the present tikne, it is to be feared that there are still very many who by preference sleep at night in closely shut bed.rooms. The conviction that night air is unwholesome and should be rigidly exoluded, once so prevalent, probably now only survives amongst the unlettered and ignorant. It doubtless had its origin in time° when undrained swamps and malaria - breeding miete, arising at nightfall, were charaoteristic of large tracts of rural Eng. land, and is, thus a survival of a belief founded more or lees on the results of observation and experienoe but at the present day it cannot be too strongly asserted that for those who enjoy reasonably good health night sir is as wholesome as that of the day, and may even be said to be purer, as it is more free from dust and epores raised from the ground by winds, human traffio and evaporation. In towne, no doubt, many people Bleep with their windows shut to deaden the noise of the street°, whioh in busy cities like London are rarely without traffic of some sort except in the early morning hours, rather than to avoid in- haling night air. That the praotioe is exceedingly common amongst the working classes is shown by an obeerver at Leeds, who- several• °come ons in July and August has counted the number of open and shut bedroom windows in a worktnan'e quarter of that oity, and found only about, 33 per oent. of the winciews to be partially open, the ,remaining 57 per cent. being tightly eloped. If any one will take the trouble to return to his shut up bed- room after spending ten minutes in the fresh morning air ontaide he will be Mr - prised how clue and disagreeable is the atmosphere in whioh he has slept the last eight or nine hours. All hygienists have advocated sleeping in pure air, and the effeoteof camping nut in a suitable climate in pine woods, as a cure fax the early stages of consumption, are well known to medical men. We would then recommend to all who are in health the adoption of open bed -room windows at night. If cold is experienced the bedolothes should be increased; even a nightcap is preferable to a close and stuffy bed -room. The effect of the purer air will scion be ascertained in inoreased health and spirits, and a larger capacity for bearing the toils and troubles of thtday.-Britieh Medical Journal.

It becomes an in- teresting study to the mind eager for in. formation to dive deep into the secrets of the silk, wool, cotton, trimming, ribbon, eto., trade; how designed, made, used, etc. Shoppers are apt to commit a clerk as to whether they think such a pieoe of goods a good meta, accords well or looks stylish.

The Plaint of the Unmarried. The London Spectator thus Immo up the recent correspondence in the Daily Tele- graph on the subject of " Matrimony and Matrimonial Agencies," which ' has been running in that journal : The whole con- trelversy is very vulgar, very sordid and very disagreeable ; and it would be ridion- lona enough if it were not so utterly pitiful. On reading such letters as these, there rises before one's eyes a dismal vision of the London suburbs; of 'mile upon mile of little stucco -houses, a dreary desert of drab-oolored dwellings wherein people pass a dreary and drab -colored life. The men go to their daily work, and, when that is over, seek their evening pleasure abroad also, while the unfortunate women remain at home, and day after day engage in- the -inenoteneue-and-heart-r- enditrg-struggivor keeping up appearances. , For the moat part the young girls have no resources in themselves; they are only sufficiently educated to read second-rate novels, whioh they devonr greedily, cramming their imaginations with all kinds of tawdry romance, and vain dreams of beautiful young heroes riding to their rescue. They, too, grow siok of shadows, and hanger for some more substantial change in their meagre existence; to many of them this mental starvation is infinitely more distressing and difficult to bear than aotual physical want. Who oan wonder that they raise a voioe of despairing revolt against their surroundings, as year after year passes and brings no Jhope of escape, and the fate of perpetual spineterhood in- exorably closes in upon them ? After all, the natural life of a woman is that of a wife and mother, and many of these poor girls are absolutely unfitted fax any other life that compels them to face the world alone and.unsupported. Their case is the more pitiful became it is eo hopeless, as t absolutely without remedy, as fax so, marriage is concerned. The large pre- ponderance of women over men in England renders it inevitable that a great number of the former should go unmarried, and it would be difficult for them: to cross the seas in search of husbands. As for their lives, they might well be made brighter and more useful, if it were not for the appearance of painiul gentility whioh they struggle to preserve. The grinding tyranny that sham respectability exercises over the lower middle-class is a thing grievone to contem- plata; and, unfortunately, this Moloch that devours young girls' lives is an idol that appeara unbreakable.

SinceGladstone Was a Young M Mr. Gladstone concluded his Midl hian speech as follows: Oar path is ight- forward to she end. We were neyer di�- heartoned for a moment in the day of adversity, and I hope we shall see the necessity of oare and moderation in the day of prosperity. We look forward, as Lord Rosebery has said, to attack in this great question the lent fortress of bigotry and of prejudice. Why, when I waa -:.,oung man the British Empire was full of these sad and painful oases. The State was at lune with the people. lor India we had done Inothing. A million of negroee we held by the degrading yoke of elavery. At the Cape of Good Hope the colonist's, who were then in a great majority, were every man of4theno hostile to the British Government. In the Ionian Islands we had kept down a Greek population anxious to bo associated wish their own blood, and in Canada we so managed misusers thateit rebellions were necessary to bring Us t sensee. Every one of these steins lase been removed. Every one of these changes has been made with honor, and with benefit, and with increase of strength. The cause of Ireland alone remains our reproaoh before the world, a cause and witness of perpetual disunion among ourselves at home. It keeps the country -in a perpetual fever. Never in my whole life, until within the hist five years, have I known an in- stance ,when every by. elgotin_n_eiLit_Deenret_____ formed the great subject of public interest from one end of the country to the other. And it is not unnatural or unjust, because we know that the entire welfare of the Empire is at present bound up with the settlement of the Irish question. That settlement is whet we have in view : that settlement is the object with which we ought not to permit, if we are rational men, any subject whatever, be it great or _bult_emall,_to-interfere—The-setWement it is which is likely, as I believe, to rid the Empire at once of an intolerable nuieenoe and of a deep disgrace, and which is likely • also to gild with a brighter glow even than any former period the closing years of a glorious reign. Washing the Face. "1 wash my face," Mmo. Ruppert said to is New York World man, "twice a day -the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. Then I am faoielly done for the day. Before retiring I lather my hands with a good unscented soap and rub it into -my fuse with friotion enough to make the skin crimson, and wash It off with cold water. That cleanses. In the morning a wash in clear, cold water re. freehes. Duettebthe day if my face looks gray or greasy Iwipe it carefully with a eoft cloth. The complexion is a delicate 'affair and requires nioe treatment.

The territory of the fierce Barotee, who range over 225,000 square miles of land above the famous Victoria Falls, on the north side of the Zambesi River, has fallen under British governmental protec- tion. The King of the Barotse has solemnly promised to abolish the killing of all witches and the terrible custom et huTan sacrifices. Nothing of importance is done among the Barotse witheat a human sacii- flee, in most oases a child.

Ax intereeting article entitled "flow London is Governed" in this month's Century magazine gives some particulars as to the way in whioh the great metropolis of the world is run. It says : Loriclon's new government rests upon a fe: chise so popular that practically nobody w would care to vote is excluded. In the place all householders are enfranchised ; a • d this includes every man who rents a place for his family, even if it be only a email room in the garret or the collar of a tenement house. 15 also includes those who live within fifteen miles of the, metropolis, but own or occupy metropol- itan quarters, for any purpose, worth a certain very limited rental, Owners of freehold pro- perty in London, no matter where they live, if British subjects, are entitled to vote. Widows and unmarried women who are householders, occupiers or owners of property, are also author- ized to vote for county counciliore. The prinqi- pal basis of the franchise is the household; add the chief disqualifications aro receipt of publie alms and failure to pay rates that have fallen due. Any resident of the metropolis or vicinity who le entitled to vote la eligible to election. Furthermore, any British subject who owns land in London, or who la pospessed of a limited amount of property, no matter where he lives, may be chosen a conncillor 01 the county of London, The fact of residonee in one distriet does not disqualify, either in law or in tim popular judgment, for candidacy in another district. • Mr. S.
