He is acquainted with people who give perties and who have daughters to be married off. Mothere belong to IheAllister's 400 only because they have dauglaters in sooiety. Many a, the 400 have no money at all. They are only hangere-on. The 400 are the people who subscribe to the balls that Mr. IticAthieter gets up. How- ever, considering that he is not a New Yorker, Mr. MoAllister does pretty well, I don't know that the 400 are a very enter- taining set.

An Avenue of Uectubsess in which Adam Brown Might Walk. The Duke of Portland presided at the annual meeting, held at the rooms of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Jermyn street, of the Batter- sea Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs. The report congratuleted the sub- scribers that the Duke of Portland had become the President, in the place of Lord Onslow, who had oacted the position on becoming Governor of New Zealand. The total number of doge reoeived into the home last year was 24,123, an !acreage of 8,802 on the previous year ; homes were found for 3,613, inccluding 1,883 restored to owners, and 1,730 were found new homes. It was stated that homeless dogs coming dinot from the London streets to Battersea were for the most part un- trained, ill-bred,. deformed, dieeased and half-starved, whose existence could not be prolonged owing to the imposeibilitV of finding homes for them, and these found in the lethal chamber nt merciful refuge. The muzzling order, it was stated, greatly augmented the number at dogs sent to the home daring the latter part of the year, and threatened to over- whelm the resources of the institution. The most drastic insane were taken to pre- vent the spread of rabies, and among all the doge reoeived last year only thirty oases of the disease were deteceed. The in- stitution had prevented the spread of the disease by clearing the streets of dogs most liable to be bitten by rabid animals, and thus benefited the whole community. A oat's home has been added for the boarding of these animals, and neglected cats were found homes or sent to the lethal chamber. The report urged that the work done in the public interest and for the public eatety Justified the committee in appealing for aid. The Date of Portland moved the adoption of the report, and expressed satisfaction at the personal interest shown by Her Majesty the Qaeen in the work of the home, as proved by her interposition to lengthen the time between the incoming of the dogs and the consequences of no one claiming them. Her Majesty desired that the dogs might have an increased ohance of being returned to owners, many of whom failed to inquire for their canine friends. The Duke of Portland appealed to all practical humanitarians to aid the home. Mr. Geo S. Measora seconded the motion, which was adoptedt—London Times. If You Want to be Loved. Don't find fault.

PARIS DETECTIVES. A Body of :00 Men Employed on the Force. Some interesting information respecting the Paris deteotive police has been given by M. aralbel in bit; book on the Surete, which is in reality a series of biographies of the principal members of the force. The Police de Surete must ba distinguished from the Surete Generale, which is really the "political police tome " acting under the orders of the Minister of the Interior, and in a mosteseoret 'wiener. Tho Police de Surete, on the other hand, is a body the members of which look for their °nen to the Prefect of Pollee,. or Cabinet du Prefeae, and perform their duties openly end without any of that impenetrable mystery whioh envelopes the peimeedings of the ministeried myrmidons.

The ordi- nary " plain clothes man" rejoices in the high sounding designation of "Inspector," and has as his respective chiefs the Sub. Brigadier, the Brigadier and the Principal Immeotor. This foroe was first founded by the famous Vidooq in 1832, when it only comprised 31 men, to whom were added 14 " outsiders," who were called indicateure. In 1848 the body was inoreased to 160 men, being afterwards reduced to 60, until it was at last brought up to its present redoubb. able number oE 300 "Inspectors," who are directed by M. Goren, now in Louden engaged in the " Ditherer mystery." He has under him on the staff one chief olork, who acts as his principal deputy or " understudy," four other clerks or seore. tariee, five chief inspectors, ten brigadiers and twenty sab-brigadiers. The three hundred detective inspectors are at. tached to sections, saoh as the speoiel brigade of pioked men, the Department of Information and Warrants, that, of Re- quisitions or" Searohes," the Pawn Offloes, the Streets, and the Disorderly Houses: There is also another important section, that of the Centre of Permanenoe, to whioh belong the deteotives told off for various eventualities. During a period of fifty- seven yearS the Surete has had twenty chiefs, of whom the best known, not induct- ing, Vidocq, WEIS Claude,whose memoirs ob- tained a world, wide reputation. In the later thnes, M. Mace, another head of the Detective Department, has published his experiences in the famous force, and has therein ventilated various theories about it tailings and shortcomings.

STOR,Y OF THE DAY. Admiral Rodney's Brilliant Victory Over the French in 182. On the 12th of April, 1782, Admiral Rodney won a brilliant victory over the French fleet in the Weat Indies. The battle began at 7 o'clock in the morning and lasted all day. A little after noon.the English admiral made a movement of a novel oharaoter. With four vessels he broke through the centre of the enemy's line, and doubled back upon it, thus assail. ing it on both sides and throwing all into confasion. The Frenoh admiral's vessel, the Ville de Paris, was a superb slip of 110 guns. An English 74, the Canada, grappled with it, and after a two hours' combat reduced it nearly to a wreck. It fin- ally surrendered to Sir Samuel Hood, nom - mender of the English van, when only two men besides tbe admiral were left unhurt. The whole affair was a series of hand-to- hand oonftiote, in which the French die - played great bravery and the English audacity and psraeverance. When evening came, with the abruptness peculiar to tropical regions, the Prete& obtained some advantage from it, as it enabled some of their vessels, to maps in the darkened Seven of them remained in the hands of the victors. The English lost in killed and wounded about 1,000, while their opponents suffered the enormone loss of 9,000. Rod- ney aerried the French commander as a prisoner to London, and was made a peer and pensioned as a reward for his achieve- ment. Lord Beaconsfield as an Orator.

A Wonderful Discovery Made Respecting the Star Sirius. By means of the speetroscope a very wOuderful discovery has been made re - Dedicatee Siriud Astronomers had noticed that this ober wae in rapid motion through epees, an it was found that year by you it was changing its position in the heavene, traversing in about 1,500 poen a imams equal to the apparent diameter of the moon, at a velocity of not lees then twenty miles per amend. Of courte, by rides'. observation, the only motion capable of being detected would be that which Was square to the line of sight, so that al- though Sirius appeara to us to move across the heaven, he may really be travelling in a elantuag direotion, either toward or from us, No one would ever have expected to be able to tell whether a star wag approaching to or receding from 119a yet, even this seem- ingly insolvable problem has..of late years been accomplished by the spectroscope. Dr. Huggins, our greatest authority on this subject, having identified certain lines in the spectrum of Sirius as then of hydro. gen, found on cornparieon that these were displaced in such a manner as to indicate that the star was receding from us. It has been estimmted that this recession, com- bined with the thwart motion of twenty miles per esoondtgives as the actual move- ment of Sirius in space a ;speed eit about thiettethree miles per second. These, then, constitute some of the chief items of information about Sirius at present within our knowledge. There seems to be no reason to doubt that ia common with other suns, he huts his system ot planets circling round him after the raanner of our ewn sun; and whist a system 1 Vase as ours appears, it is dwarfed into insigni. goatees compared dial a system whose' ruling orb is 5,000 times larger than third; which does duty for no. There seems, also, no reason to doubt that these planets are intended to be the abode of life; it mity be that at the present mo- ment none of them present any signs of life, but I think we may safely infer with- out improbability that ettoh one of these worlds has a destined period in its develop- ment daring which life, similar to that which now prevails on our planet, would be in existence. What a world such a one would be, in size, perhaps, not inferior to that of our sun, himself a million times larger than onr earth; and it may be theta this Sirian world is so vastly enperior to ours in size its inhabitants would be on a settle in proportion to its dimensions, a race of beings of such ithelleot and civili- zation compared with whom we are but sevages.—Chanibers' Jourual. Twenty Thousand People Move. Further pactisularsi have been reoeived here of the removal of the entire population of Sboshong, 20,000 in number, and the founding of a new town, 70 miles trona the old one. Shoshone has been one of the most widely known places in South Africa ever since Livingstone wrote of it. It is in British Bechuanaland, and was the capital of King Munn, the most enlightened of South African rulers, who allows no wine or other liqaor in his domains, and even punishes severely the brewing of Kaffir beer. Early last year Meares decided to find another site for his capita), where there was more water and better soil. He selected a very fine location, 70 miles northeast of Shoshong, on a rioh plateau about 4,000 feet above. the sea. In July, last every eon' in Shoshone, started for the site of the town'they were to build, driving before them about 40,000 cattle. The jour- ney was made in easy etages, as everybody, except the babies and the sick and infirm, had to walk. They were two weeke on the road. All the aged and infirm were carefully borne to the new capital on litters sad in a few ox carte—an interesting propeeding, for it has been the habit •of African tribes on moving their towns to let the sick and helpless take care of therctselves. Within a few weeks after reaohing Palapye theentire people were comfortably housed in the air - order huts of sun-dried bricks that are so comtnon in South Africa.

On the 'night of the llth and 121h of September, 1572, a chosen band of 600 Spaniards made an attack within the lines ot the Dutch army. The sentinels were cat down, the whole array surprised and for a moment powerless. The Prince of Orange and his guards were in a profound sleep; but a small spaniel dog, who always passed the night upon his bed, was a most faithful sentinel. The creature sprang forward, barking at the sound of hostile footsteps e,nd scratching his master's face with his paws. There was but just time for the prince to mount a horse that was ready saddled, and to effeot his melte through the darkness, before his enemies sprang into big tent. His servants ever° out down, his master of the horse and two of his secretaries, who gained their saddles a moment later, all lost their liveg, and but for a little dog's watchfulness, William of Orange, upon whose shoulders the whole weight of his countryn; fortune) depended, would have been led within a wet& to an ignominious death.

First, the rawhide is one in thin strips as long as possible and half tanned with the hair on. Then these strips are soaked and stretched over a block.

Soaking it in water won't do, nor will anything else that I know a except, as I say, burying it. When the riata is resur- rected it should again be left for a time stretched over a block, with a weight to hold it taut. Then the hair should be sand- papered off the outside, and when the riots is greased with mutton tallow and properly noose3 11 18 ready for use.

In this age the business DWG who does not advertise is doomed. Every style of advertising pays, but the greatest results are acquired from utilizing the advertieing columns of a properly conducted journal. An inch advertisement in a newspaper is worth a dozen on a fence. We never knew of but one case in which a ivertising did not pay. It occurred in Chicago. A burglar overlooked a80 in a bureau drawer and the papers go announced. He returned the next night and not only secured it, but a snit of clothes be- sides.

A Time for Rest. How many hours' sleep do you require? No rule can be laid down. Jeremy Taylor thrived on three hours, and so does Car. dinel Newman. Many centenarians are contented with five hours; but some of them require eight or nine. But there are two rules of sleeping which everybody may adopt without hesitation. 1. Never let yourself be awskenel. by anybody else, but wait teetil you have slept out your sleep. 2. Get up as soon as you are awake.

Me., is authority for the statement that about 6,000 tone of terra alba were re- cently imported through the port of New York alone. The only use for terra alba in any quantity is in the adulteration of °audio, and when these two facts are put together they become very significant. The substance is mineral, utterly insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice, and the re- sult of ee,ting candles adulterated cannot be otherwiee than edoeesively injurious. The devilishness ef the use of such stuff in candies is all the greater for the fad that moat ot the candies that are adulterated with it are used by children of tender years. The extent to which it exists in pertain candies may be surmised by GII incident which occurred within the experience of the editor of the National Druggist.

The result of our investigation elbowed them to consist en. tirely of terra alba, bound together with a little gelatine or gum (we have forgotten whioh). Farther investigation developed the fact that they were amply blocks or forma to be used in preparing oheap lozenges, the method of use being simply to immerse them for a few moments in syrups flavored with peppermint, winter- green, oto. The agent, armed with these facto, refused to pay any damages; and the concern, rather than risk the exposure incident upon a lawsuit, dropped the claim.—Nationd Druggist. Wanted to be Heard From.

The Remedy is sold by druggists:, at only50 cents. It is mild, soothing, deodorizing, antiseptic, cleansing and healing. a aza Crowded Quarters, An Indian waited for a train at a North.. ern Pacific station in Idaho, and while there, saw the agent talking into a tele- phone box.
