Philadelphia Record : Ex•Preeident An- drew White, of Cornell University, in an article on " The Government of American Cities," in the December Forum, says " About a year since, I stood upon' the wharves and in the streets of Constantino pie. I had passed from one end of Europe to the other ; these were the worst I had seen since I • left home, and there name over me' a epaene of homesickness. During all my residence in foreign cities never before bad the remembrance of New York, Philadelphia and other American centres been so vividly brought back to me. There in Constantinople, as the result of Turkish. despotism, was the same hap -hazard," careless, dirty, corrupt system which we in Amerind know so well se the result of mob d- e5tiem ; the same ' tumble-down wharve t to same sewage in the docks, the same 'pity meats fanged with murderous atones, ' the same filth, the same °betaoles . to travel and to trr;ffiu."

Cohere were for shoes, rubbers, slippers, papers, string, linen, cotton and sundries. £he top was out in deep pointe, to eaoh of which was sewn a brass ring to hang it by. It was, in fact, an enlarged shoe -bag, which every ' woman' knows how to make. The cost was trifling, but it is safe to say that the recipient of this Imitate bag will bleee the giver every day throughout the coming year. • The changes bgve been rung indefinitely on all manner of bagel, big and little, orna- mental and sturdily useful, until every one has unlimited suggestions on this point.

One cf the latest of these. is„Zhe roseleaf pillow (filled with dried rose leaves..) A charming cover for one of these refined cushions is made of Dreamy India silk, upon which is mounted a piece -of bolting oloth painted with a design of roses. The mounting is done with fanny stitches in pink silk. A handsome bow of ribbon at one corner is a pretty addition. A little pot pourri mixture scattered through the rose leaves is an improvement.

Finish the ends with pone - pone or bows. ' c'BEDROO7$—SLIPPERS." A pair of bedroom or invalid' slippers with looped linings could hardly fail to be acceptable unless one is already sup- plied The, direotione for crocheting these are copied from Demoreat'rMagazine : The material required is wool in two ceders and felt soles. The slipper is worked from the toe in ribbed rowel, bank and forth, in single °rootlet, taking each stitch up from the bank of the one in the preceding, crocheting in the looped lining at the same time; whioh, 'in this instanoe, was worked of dark bine and light bine wool. Begin with the darkest woor and work nineteen chain, and oroohet four rows (whioh will make two ribs), working three stitches in the centre each time going back, whioh will make two in- crease in each rib. This . increase of stitches is repeated it, every return row that is worked with the dark blue wool, • while the forward rows are worked with the light wool, and in this the looped lining is worked. Crochet, however, the first two and the last two etitchee of these rows in the dark wool, so as to have a dark band next to the sole. For the'loope at the bank after every seitch pass the wool over and around an ivory knitting -needle. With eighteen dark blue ribs, or thirty-six rows (the last row should number fifty-six etitohee), the top or middle of the slipper ie reached, and the narrowing side -pieces begin. The first row for each eide•pieoe, numbering sixteen rows, or eight ribs, counts eighteen stitches ; the laet, four, whioh leaves fourteen stitches on the inner edge. The edge of`'the'slipper is finished with shells of four double. crochet each of the dark wool with a single short oroohet between each. For the looped Pining of .the sole crochet a piece of the shape in the light wool, only taking up the stitches in front so as not to make it ribbed. When the solo is lined sew the slipper to it, and oroohet a shell border around the aides and heel, and finish with p pompon. A CONVENIENT WRITINO•BOAiiD.

" An endeavor was recently made to show that total abstainers do not live so long as those who consume alcohol in moderation ; also, strange to say, that those who often drink to excess outlive the teetotallers. Statements purporting to coxae from the medical profession in Eng- land were adduced in support. The whole story had a suspicions appearance. The facts were evidently cooked, but so skill- fully as to deoeivo unwary people. All persons possessing; common sense are aware that an excessive consumption of alcohol leads to ill health and a high rate of mortality. But many are not convinced that even what,is oalled moderate indulgence tends to Iessen the duration of lis: 'phe-Flnitacl Siugtfom-Tempsrance and General Provident institution, Lon- don, England, hae two classes of insurance, one for total abstainers, and another for temperance people who are not total abstainers: All insurance officers carefully avoid insuring the lives, of drunkards, or of those whom they suspect to be inclined to over -indulgence. That of itself is sufficient to show that the universal-experience_of_ Tile offices is that alooholio exoese means a high rate of mortality. The directors of the ' before -mentioned institution at their last annual meeting reported that for the total -abstinence section on the whole number of life policies for every 100 olaims estimated to fall due by the aotn- ary's tables there had been only 59 deaths, but that in the general seotion-that is among those who drank in strict modera- tion -the deaths amounted to 86 out of the expected 100. Therefore, opt of equal numbers of two lots of insurers -total abstainers and temperate men -the ab. stainers showed 45 per cent. better than the temperate drinkers. -Toronto Mail.

Blest Keep His Head.

According to a newspaper report Andrew Carnegie recently' committed himself to a very curious statement. He averred that the annual salary of the Prince of Wales would suffice to. keep 30,000 people for a year. Now, the annual salary of the Prince of Wales is $565,000. Divided up among 30,000 people, it would amount to just $19 apiece. Mr. Carnegie seems to have very queer ideas as to the sum of money that would support an American workingman, or, indeed, a workingman of any national- ity, and enable him to provide the neces- saries of life for himself and for his family. Bat a still 'snore interesting question is .• this ; How many millionaires of the type of Andrew Carnegie oonld be supported upon the annual salary of the Prinoe of Wales ? And is it not, the least -bit indeli- oate for a member of the gilded brotherhood to be assailing a comparative pauper like the Prinoe of Wales ? How to Polish Furnitnire. The new servant girl tried two kinds of furniture polish on the rosewood dining table. She deolared that American furni- ture polish " was no good at all, at all." She got half a pound of white bee's wax, two cakes of oaetile soap, and a pint of turpen- tine. She boiled the soap and wax together -that is, she melted them until they ran together. Then she poured in the turpen- tine. All the hard wood in the hone° shines like mirrors glass now.
