The Villa Dernidoir in Florence, which was recently visited by Queen Victoria and beyond the term° of whith a lovely view of the Vel d'Arno stretches, presents, Repast from it own beauty, an intereat in the face that its possession'or anther that of the imitate of San Donatn in which it ia aituated, °orrice with it the right or the power of the owner to term liimeelf Prince." When the Ruesian, .Ane.tole Demidoff, purchased the property, he immediately availed him- self of this feudal privilege, which has long cruised to exist in England. At the present moment, however, the ownership of Arundel Castle, _which is the property of the Duke of Norfolk, carries vvith it a similar right. In the dark ages when poesession was in stem reality nine points of the law, the holding of any property im- mediately conferred& titimbut it is now only In Italy and Germany that this happy state of affairs still saints, and in each case of late years it has been much curtailed. HINT TO TRANSATLANTIC GIRLS. England has lost all sense of the tradi- tion; thus'for instance, the Duke of Devonshire does not own an acre in the county from wbich he derivea his title, and numerous other instances might be adduced as tearing on the point. But to this day there exiate in Italy estates, the ownership of which confern ducal, often princely, title, and of late years such esthetics have been frequently advertised in the continental papers, an enormous sum beitig demanded for the rights attached. To all intents and purposes such a " nobleman " has a perfect right to his title, but society knows how to value such easily -acquired distinctions, and not infrequently marks in a very unpleasant manner its einille of the estimation in which it holds cinch 5 soi disant "count," " mar- quis " or duke. Thus Prince Paul Demidoff was more than once oubjected to humilia- tions on this score, as his origin was fa from patrician and his title gained by no meritorious deeds. American gide might do worse than take this information to heart, especially when lining their maiden affections to a title which, unless due inves- tigation is Made, may turn out to be a bogus one. Business Women. The Elmira Gazette says: "A dietin- guiehed editor of a woman's periodical has come to the conclusion that business women are not happy. The widely-mpplauded in- dependence of man, he thinke, does not satisfy them." The worry of business life, the wear and tear Of continued watchful - nen that expenses do not overbalance the receipts, the various losses by shrinkage of values, delay in transportation, theft of em- ployees, etc., are all calculated to take happinesa otst of business. There is no in- dependence in the counting -room or bush nese office, no more than there is in auper- intending the affairs of a household, attend- ing to wayward children, or enduring the tinges of a boozy huthand when he returns home from the cheering company of the club.

A Country Big Enough for ItS Teeming Millions, ROW THEY ARE DIOTRIBUTED. Some new statistics concerning India and its population were communicated the other day by the comers commiesioner of India to theltoyed Statistical Seeiety of London. 13y these it appears that the entire pcpulation of that country fa ik little less than 288,000,- 000. Ib is an enormous population, but it inhabits a vast country. The mean density is 184 to the square mile. Forty-six mil- lions of the people live in the proportion of 600 and over to the square mile, while 36,- 000,000 are distauted one and a half to the act,. In the latter case there are very material points as to the great) fertility 'of the moil, and the wide variety of occu- pations to be found upon it, to be con- sidered in inetitutbsg comparisons. As to the most densely populated regions, therm which, owing to greater resources, afford the easiest means of livelihood, Europe has three countries, Great Britain, Saxony, and Belgium, where there is a dandtY of population not much less. Thirty-eight and a half millions of people in Europe live in the proportion of from 500 to 600 to the equare mile. The extraordinary pressure of one and a half heads of population to the acre is confined to ;some districts of Bengal and does nob affect one-sixth of the whole people. In the matter of proportion of town to country population, Ladle presents a marked oontrase to Europe and the Weat- ern countries generally. While in Europe the towns are all the time draining the country of its people, the direcb con- trary is the case in India. In England, for example 53 percent of the population live in towns of 20,000 inhabitants or over - in India oxily 41 per centof the population are rio congregated in cities. Even includ- ing the smallest townie which haveibeen so classed for municipal purposes, only 10 per cent. of India's people are town dwellers. Another interesting fact shown by the consuls returns is that the ladian people are not migratory. Over 90 per cent of the people numbered in the last °ensue were enumerated in the place where they were born, and 6 per cent. more in the region contiguous to their birth -place. Change of domicile seems to be adopted only where the emigrants can keep within immediate touch of their former home. The people do not migrate to distant tracts. The great capabilities of the country are well shown by the fact that in the moth densely popu- lated tracts the increase of population since the kat census has been 8 per cent. The greatest increase was 13e per cent. This shows that the increase of popula- tion is quite normal ; and the whole results of the census show that the growbh is no way in excess of the means of sup- port, as is largely the case in parts of Europe, while there is abundant room for expansion as the pressure bowmen locally The rases of the people arepsor, but when the mode of living imposed on the n by the climate and by their religion is considered they are not poorer than the mass of the European peasantry. They have little, but they want little, and usually their wants are amply satiefied. They are mainly an agricultural people, each culti- vating a piece of land just about enough to produce sufficient for actual present want; but not enough to afford any surplus against a bad season. This fact ie the cause of the famines in India just as it is in Ire- land. Finally a review of the main revenue and commercial statistics for the past decade shows that the masses of the Indian people are by no means outstripping the re- sources of their wonderful country, and that it may, indeed, hold a future that shall astonish the western nations. Weeping a Relief to the Nervous System. Persons who weep say that tears afford relief. Nothing is more perfectly true, nothing more clear when the facts are un- derstood. The relief cornea, not from the mere escape of team, which ia only a symp- tom, but from the cessation of the sthrm in the nervous chain. If the storm be calmed by soothing measures, as when we soothe a child that is weeping from fear, annoyance or injury, we quiet the nervous centres, upon which the effect ceases. In children the soothing method succeeds, and some- times it succeeds in adults, although in adults the cessation of tears is more com- monly due to actual exhaustion following a period of nervous activity.—.Dr. B.

Harris at Sing Sing, RIB DEATH WAS INF3TANTANBOTAL Re sied wretest muweence-Yreas Ile Guilty tl•—The story or the came tor Which fie Suffered. The offieial time of the Arab content was 12.40e ; current on 551/ impends. The electrocution was a perfect moons. Bright spring nunshinti did not lighten the gloom that huog over Sing Sing Prison this morning. The air of suffocation which OLIO feels at )1 funeral filled th e place in spite of the clear atmosphere of a perfect spring day. At other eleetrocutiona there has been levity and indifference about the prison, but the dawn of Carlyle Harris' last day was observed by quiet, due to the appreciation that he was no ordinary oulprit, but a man whose crime and whom cleeth will be his- toric. The electrocutions which have preceded the one to -day were the going to death of brutes who had killed iellowebeings and about whose guile there was no doubt, and In whose cares there was little to arouse eympatEy. To -day for the first time was a man of a higher order of intelligence to undergo the ordeal. He was st MRD of edu- cation acenstomed to the refinements of good society, educeted, a medical student even, and capable of understanding to an unusual degree what was to happen to him. Principal Keeper Connaughton said this morning that Harris rested well. He did not sleep much and what thoughts racked his brain no one will ever know. Ella self- control was marvellous. His only sigu of agitation was the constant smoking of cigarettes. He was up early this morning. He looked over the manuscript which he had prepared to be given out to the press by his relatives alter the final scene in his dramatic life had ended and the curtain had been rung down. At 8 o'clock Harris ate a light breakfast. He was cool and collected and appeared to be capable of going through the ordeal which awaited him. At 8.20 Warden Durston and Mrs. Marston arrived from the Hotel where they had breakfast. Mrs. Durston and her son went away front the prison a few minutes liner and did not return until all was over. The &at witisesaes to arrive were Dr. Daniebe of Buffalo, and Col. E. A. Rockwell, who reached the prison together at 9.20 o'clock. They were followed shortly by Dr. C. S. Grant, of Saratoga; Dr. D. R. Kidd, of Newburgh; Dr. Pyne, of Yonkers, and Dr. D. P. Mer- ritt,. of Elmira. Mrs. Herrin, having made her final fare- well to her son on Saturday, remained at, the Ambler House'shut in from all visitors. Her youngest) son, Allen, was with her. She was calm and less nervous than usual, and awaited with fearful silence the sign which would inform her that her son Carlyle had passed out of this world. The flag announcing the successful con- clusion of the execution, which was raised from the roof of the warden's house, could be seen from the windows of the room which Pers. Harris occupied in the Ombler House, and there eh° and her son Allen watched and waited with straining eyes and subdued grief for the fatal signal. , At 10 o'clock there was a long string of carriages in front of the prison and hun- dreds of people were scattered along the hillside. The execution chamber is a small one-story brick building attached to what is called the "death house," in which only murderers condemned to death are confined. In the first electrocutions the fulletrength of the current was turned on and kept on until the etearn arose from the electrodes and the odor of burning flesh permeated the room and sickened the spectators. Electrician Davie devised an apparatus which has obviated this and made the electrocu- tion of to -day an entirely different matter from the firsts bungling attempts to kill with electricity. A Sing Sing despatch gives the following additionalpariculars of the electrocution of Carlyle Harris : After Harris was seated in the chair he said in a weak voice, as though each word cost him a powerful effort: "1 have no further reservation to make. I desire to say that I am absolutely innocent." These were his last words. After uttering them he seemed relieved, and settled back in the chair, to which he was dropped. When the current was turned on the form in the chair straightened up till the straps creaked. It was just 12.40e by the stop -watch held by Dr. Menet when a current of 1,760 volts paned through the body of Carlyle Harris. In two seconds Davie threw the switch lack, so that only 150 volts were on. Dr. Daniels still held his hand aloft, and one finger pointed above, as though to indicate that the soul of the man in the chair had paned upwards. Then his arm fell, and in juit 55e seconds the current was shut off. Dra Irvine and Habershaw immediately stepped forward and examined the body, which had settled back limp in the chair. Dc. Irvine opened the coat and twat and thee away the shirt over the heart. He applied the stethoscope, and, after listen- ing for heart beats, turned and amok Ms heed. This was two minutes after the first contect, and Dr. Daniels then invited the other physicians to step forward and ex- amine the body. All the physicians ex- pressed themselves as Wished that death had been instantaneous. At 3 o'clock Undertaker Kipp, of Sing Sing, drove up to the prison. Ile procurea the prison physician's certificate of the cause of Harris' death and then drove into the prison grounds. In his waggon was a highly polished oak casket, which was carried into the death chamber, where the body of Barrie, dressed in a dark suit of prison made goods, reposed upon a table. The body was placed in the musket. The undertaker refused to disclose the plans for the diapisition of the body. The silver plate upon the cover of the caeket contains this insoription : Carlyle W. Harris. Murdered May 8, 1893. Aged 23 years, 7 months, 15 days. "We would nonif we had known."—The Jury. Mrs. Hanle viewed the raising of the black flag from the window of her room at Ambler's boarding house. When the ominous signal floated on the soft breeze she turned quietly away, resigned and calm, as she has been for the past few dap', The warden refused to give Harris' etate- ment to the press, and declined to hand ib over to Mrs. Harris, for whom it was in- tended. He stated that he Mailed the document this evening to the inspector of prisons at Auburn. MRS Mum On the morning of Monday, February 2nd, 1891* the readers of the New York daily newspapers found related a story of murder which eembined all the elements of love, trime, and suffering with treachery, dunning, and heartiestnietis.

Their story ad& to* the literature of crime a chapter which cannot fail to be read with interest by the nevelist, playwright, and etudbrit of our own time& This atory, Bad in every detail, and oppreesively tragic throughout, was unfolded day by day until there was welded a chain of circumstantial evidence ao strong that the young medical etudent was sentenced to death. At the thee of her death, Sunday murrain, Feb. let, 1$91, Helen Potts Carlyle was in her 191h year, and was a *student at Mies Comstock's boarding school in New York, which she had entered two inonths 'before. Tee night before, Satur- day, January, 31st, she and her raother waint for auvalk, acsompanied by Harris in the character of the girl's acoepted suitor. The mother did not know that the pair had been sears -My married by an alderman on February 9413, 1890, nearly a year before, under the names of Helen Neilson and Charles Harris. On the return to the boarding Wien' that night the mother mid the daughter went to the latter's room, where the girl showed her mother a pill -box Carktaining one capsule, .which she said was quinine, and which had been given to her by Harris to take for a headache. Although she said qubaine amide her ill, her mother advised her to take it, saying that) quinine often nide one ill to make one well again. Helen took the pill, and that night her breathing and racism attracted her room mates. Physicians who were summoned found her symptoms identical with those of morphine poisoning. The pill -box bore the inscription of "0. W. H., medical student," and Harris was sent for. He said he had prescribed for Helen's head- ache capsules, each filled with 4 grains of quinine, and e of agrain of sulphate of morphia. Helen died at 11 o'clock that morning, and Herris said the druggist had made an awful mistake. Six days later he told the druggist he thought she had died of heart disclaim. It was proved that death was caused by an overdose of morphine. Then suspicion was directed towards Harris, and it was discov- ered that he had aecreely married the girl nearly a year before, that he had promised to marry her publiclyin church on February 9th, the first anniversary of their wedding day, and that he had caused to be per- formed a criminal act which would destroy that which might have compelled him to acknowledge her as his wife. He refused to allow her to ba buried by his name, and wanted to get possession of her marriage certificate. Then he was arrested. At the trial it was proved that he had boasted of having married two girls, that his character was otherwise bad, that pre- ceding the girl's death he had been atten- tive at a course of lectures on morphine and poison at his medical college, that he was very anxious his marriage should not be made public, and that the druggist had exercised great care in making the prescrip- tion. A cepa& which Harris gave to the coroner on his arrest, saying that it was similar to that taken by the girl, was found to be harmless, but 18 was held that he had prepared this in the bops of averting Sus- picion. As the motive for the crime it WRS shown that Harris had great expectations of a fortune from his grandfather, who would disinherit him if he learned of his grandson's marriage, and tbe presumption was that the young man took the means he did toget rid of the young woman, who i stood n the way of his getting the old man's money. Messrs. Howe & Hammel, the greatest • firm of criminal lawyers in New York, • worked their hardest to save Harris' life, and the case being purely one of circum- stantial evid enoe, andel ot particularly strong • at that, as setae contended, it received unusual discussion at the hands of the New York press. Strong efforts were made to have the Governor of the State commute the sentence, or at least grant a new trial, but he refused. Revival of the Gentleman. A crusade hail been started in England against • the application of the word " eaquire " to remiss who have no right to use it. Those who started it confess that there are occasions when something more than "Mr." is wanted, and so they recommend the revival of the good old- fashioned "Gentleman," which means all who are legitimately entitled to bear arms.

We sometimes read very curious direc- tions for doing very simple things. It is among the oldest of notions that bird shot is useful for °leaning bottles, decanters, etc., and it may be in some cases but one must not use it for fine glass or that which is in any way delicate. Many a -valuable bottle and decanter have been broken by the use of shot. It does very well for coarse, com- mon, heavy glass, and one might naturally suppose that this was the sort that must have been used by women who recommended it. The ideal material for doing this sort of work is coaree and. Gather a panful of ordinary sand from any washout on the roadway; pass it through a common sieve and pub it away for this purpoae. Half a cupful thrown into a bottle and shaken about will scour the inside as clean as can be. It must be used with care, how - evert as too long shaking is likely to scratch the inside of the bottle. For very fine glass a potato cut in pieces the size of small dice is preferable as a cleaning agent. This can- not possibly scratch, and although it takes more time to achieve the desired result, it is done with no risk to the finisher the article. Good, clean, sifted sand has many uses. If one cannot obtain that which is perfectly clean, ordinary sand that has been washed down by the roadside may be used. Throw a panful of this into a tub and pour in water, stirring the sand vigorously until all of the muddy look is washed out. When the water shows perfectly clear after.being stirred up the sand is clean. It may then be dried and put away in a bag or box for future use. lf Cholera Comes. It is well to keep in the medicine chest, or where they may easily be found, a bottle of the spirits of camphor, and one of the old standard remedy known as the "San Mix- ture," the prescription published by the New York 8117i, under official direction, in the time of the great cholera epidemic, writes Helen Jay in a timely article on "If the Cholem Should Come" in the VIa3r Ladies' Home Journal. This medicine is not expensive, and can be bought of any druggist in country, town or city. Expe- rienced baoteriolegists say that five drops of camphor in a small glass of brandy is the beat medicine to give until the arrival of a physician. For little children there are camphor pellets sufficiently sweet to be palatable. The ute of these pellete is said to be an excellent "ounce of prevention" for those acting as nurses or otherwith ex- posed to contagion. To absorb disagreeable odors in a sick -room nothing is better than cascarilla bark sprinkled upon hot coale. for an ordinary disinfectant rosin is excel- lent, but care ahould be taken not to place too much at a tirne upon the fire. Recipes in Autographs. The autograph craze has revived, but with a practical rather than a poetical motive. Instead of rhymes on the beauty and truth of friendship, one in mouested now to write on the blank pages of the col- lector's albam his or her favorite recipe, with date and signature. It would seem at first thought to be a more wholesome fancy than the gathering together of rhymes, but considering the wear and tear of the diges- tive apparatus Upon Which therm numerous recipes may be tried by an ambitions house- wife, swapping sentiments may be lets destructive arid undesirable.—New York Mettetnieh said "In my whole life 1 , haVo only known ten or twelve personawith whore it was pleement to Speak, 1 e., who keep to the ittbjeck do not repeat .thcre- selves, and do not talk of therneelvee men who de nob natal to the'l own voice, t ho are cultivated enough not to lose themeolteen, in commonplecon ena, lastly, wi.,6 tiostic,;o. tact and geOd taste enough no to eleeitie thele own person above the eubjeetei
