Newspapers in America with catchy titles are so numerous that a Jefferson journalist was at h:s wit's end to obtain a suitable name for his forthcoming publication. As a last resource he took up a handful of type and put it togeth- er at random. The 1ot•.ers formed the word "ji mplecute." The name straok his fancy, and without more ado he launched 'Jefferson Jiznplecuto' upon the world.

An antiquarian find, which will excite interest all over Europe, has lately been made in Raveinose peat bog, near Hobro in Jutland, Aalborg Amt. The objecta are all of silver, the principal piece being a very large basin, on which have been fas- tened plates of silver hammered out with figures of men, women and animals. The basin is twenty-six Danish inches in diam- eter, but scarcely eight inches high. One or two pieces are apparently wanting; but it is hoped they will turn ep when the moss is minutely examined, The evch•ules.blthe figures are now empty lith, haul evidently been filled with colored glass. One of the plates, which is nearly seventeen inches long, shows warriors, with helmets and other ornaments One figure is a god with a wheel at his side, and on another are two elephants. A third shows a horned god in a sitting posture with his legs crossed orientalwise. All these have apparently nothing to do with northern mythology, as was at first supposed. The whole find ]las now reached the Danish national museum, and we see that these pieces belong to the god lore of the Gallic peoples. The • god with the wheel, for instance, is the Gallic sun god. The whole is the work of a Gallic artist at that early period when the Roman and Gallic peoples first came in contact. Al- lowing time for these things to wander so far north, the date would seem to be. as regards Denmark, the first century before Christ. Other things belonging to this Gallic group have been found previously in this country. The total weight of precious metal hitherto exhumed is about twenty Muesli pounds- -"Academy. Mr Justice Rose has delivered judgment in a case of more than passing interest to the commer- cial public. A Mrs Green, of Kingston, brought suit against the Canada Collecting Agency, becautthey advertised for sale, among others, an account against her in these words: "Mrs 3 Green, Princess street, dry goods hill, $59.85." His Lordship found for --*••••' the' defecdents. In giving judg- mentle held that the advertise- recut dvertisement was calculated to convey the ' a that the creditor bad exhaust - ll means of recovering and that the debtor was unwilling or unable to pay, and that it tended to bring her into financial discred- it. Finding, however, as he did find that there was a debt, he held that the motive of creditor or debtor could not be enquired into. Threats to publish, he said, might be construed as coercion, but not \the actual publication. 'The de• cieion affirms the right of a cred- itor to offer puplicly for sale claims against delinquent debtors: The really remarkable aures of oes tarrh efleeted by the use of Ayer's Sars- aparilla is conclusive proof that this loathsome and dangerous disease is one d the blood; only needingstteli a adarehang and,pbwetful tilt, ative t6'' thoroughly eradicate it..

A woman} may dress a turkey boater than she can dress, her person; she may . blend harmoniously into a sauce divers favors, PA out of .simple elements evolve triumph~ of culinary good taste in every sense of the phrase,, and yet be hereelf a dismal; un'iyhole- some-looking eb'eet while engaged in the dally routine of duties. It seems to be an article of belief with many cooks that' per - penal neglect and a general air of untidiness aro outward and visible signs of great culin- ary akiU, the possessor of whiels talent is by them deemed exempt from the laws of neat - m148.411(1 order. Their ideas on the subject of dress, how- ever, are by no meeus lacking in definite- ness, but unfortunately they are confined to the elaboration of toilettes for high days and holidays, and the natural womanly wish to look well is perverted into a desire for finery as unsuitable as it is flimsy and flashy. Wages are freely spent on irritation splen- dors, and arrayed in sleazy silk or satin, glittering with jet, the head crowned with the very latest style of hat, the young wo- , man sallies forth with the proud conviction that she is "quite the thing." In some such garb as this she often applies' for a situation, never dreaming that OW thereby imperils her Zliances of obtaining a good home, so much does her attire repel the sensible housekeeper, who, by repeated experience, has learned that finery covers a multitude of sins of omission, and that al- most certainly there is scarcely a decent change of under -clothing or a whole calico gown among the belongings of the gayly dressed applicant. There are exceptions, of cos r and mem- ory dwells fondly on the merits of an excel- lent cook who joined to her skill the rare virtue of appropriate, even tasteful, ,lressing while she was officially engaged. The neat print gown, the glossy hair and bright face, and the cheerful readiness to do her very beat, made visits to the kitchen moat attrac- tive, and it was easy to overlook the want of taste and judgment which governed her choice of Sunday toilettes. In the good old times -of which one con- stantly hears -domestic servants had neith- er the temptation nor the opportunity to in- dulge in fine dress, but so long as cheap copies of all the fashionable goods are ob- tainable, so long probably will wages be squandered in the vain hope of looking as well as the best.

An Approach to Perpetual 1lrotion. Optician calls attention to a clock to be seen at Brussels, which come, about as near being a perpetual motion machine as can be invented, for the sun does the winding. The following is the method by which rt works: A shaft exposed to , the solar rays causes an updraft of air, which sets the fan in motion. The fan actuates mechanism which raises the weight of the clock until it reaches the fop and then puts a break on the fan till the weight has gone down a little, when the fan is again liberated and proceeds to act as before. As long as the sun shines frequently enough and the ma- chinery does not wear out, the clock will keep in perpetual motion. The Homestead Law of Texas. The homestead law of Texas sometimes acts harshly for creditors. A letter from Austin says that a cattleman failed , a short time ago and the creditors took possession of the property, subject to attachment, The man's family live in a house for which they have been offered $50,000. The price asked is $75,000. This is made possible by the pe- culiar homestead exemption law of Texas. The homestead cannot be taken for debt. And the homestead is defined to be a piece of ground costing not more than $5,000 and whatever improvements there may be there- on. In this case the residence is the finest in the oity where it is located. It is one of the finest in Texas. It cost more than $50,- 000, but it is entirely out of the reach of the creditors 9f the estate. It is therefore easy for a man in Texas to tie up a fortune in'a homestead. A Working Empress. What is the use ofbeing an Empresa? The consort of the German Emperor rises at 5 o'clock in the tnornjng and lilts accomplished half a day's work before half the women who are not queens are out of bed. No wife of the present cycle is supposed to look after her husband's linen. She is too busy with study- ing Brow Hing and political economy. But the faithful Kaiserin has personal charge of the linen belonging to her royal spouse, and the honor of sewing on a button or putting a few stitches in an imperial sock is one rarely coveted by the maids of honor. When one remembers that this august personage travels with twenty-two tin cases containing his wearing apparel, cocked hats, helmets, and uniforms, and reflects upon the amount of linen re- quired, it may be inferred. that this care of the linen is no easy task. One servant has charge of the headgear, another menial of the boots, the wife of the royal shirts. And what is this Empress of Germany doing just now when the average wife has sent her children to their grandmother or has left them in charge of maids while she dances from one delight to another? The Empress is at Felixstowe with her five boys, teaching them, or at least all of them that can navigate the noble art of swimming, at which she is an expert. This gracious lady is not exactly beauti- ful, being a little overstout, but she has one rare charts—the most beautiful arms in the world. At least that is what the Emperor says.

The woman's cause in Australia has an exceeding bright outlook. In all the public schools girls enjoy the same advantages as boys, and the young womanhood of the coun- try is said to be remarkably well educated, and, so far as newspapers are concerned, very well read in the tropics of the tunes. In all the universities, except at Melbourne, women and men are absolutely equal. There are at present 160 women graduates at the University of New Zealand, eighty at Sid- ney, as many at Melbourne, and thirty at Adelaide. It is hazarded that the women equal if they do not outnumber the men. The Premier of the country is in favor of giving women the franchise, and the cause has the support of a considerable portion of the press. Most interestingis the fact that While there are opponents of the bill con- cerning the woman's franchise in the Legis- lature, no member will risk the unpopular- ity of allowing his name to appear in the division list among the "noes" choosing rather the less courageous plan of not voting at all. This is equivalent to voting against the measure, because in the Victoria Legis- lature no bill can pass into a law without a majority of the whole House. Another in- teresting and suggestive fact is that in no country of the world' is the percentage of unmarried women smaller than Australia. Hints for Housekeepers.

Children should not be bathed immediate. ly after rising to the morning, and they should not be snowed to rush from the breakfast -table to the beach and get into the water as soon as they can. Very few children should be given' a full bath in the morning. They may be sponged over quickly and then rubbed fairly dry; but as fp plunging a child into water, even lukewarm, and soaking, the practice muat soon prove injurious to the little one's health. 47i ` saved every year by l' t'' i �► its timely use. Amanda B. Jenner, Northampton, Mass., writes : " Common gratitude im- pels me to acknowledge the great bene- fits I have derived for my children from the use of Ayer's most excellent Cherry Pectoral. I had lost two dear children from croup and consumption, and had the greatest fear of losing my only re- maining daughter and son, as they were delicate. Happily, I find that by giving them Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the first symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they are relieved from danger, and are be- coming robust, healthy children." "In the winter of 1886 I took a bad cold which, in spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family physician considered mo incurable, sup. posing me to be in consumption. As a last resort I tried Ayer's Cherry Pecto• ral, and, in a short time, the cure was complete. Since then I have never been without this medicine. I am fifty years of age, weigh over 180 pounds, and at. tribute my good health to the nee of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "-G.W.Youker, Salem, N. J.
