It was carved on the day when my first grief

The day of my parting from sweet Isabel.

Puttp Putt SUMMER eIhNTKS.
The Effects ot various Vegetables, Fruits,
atellt4, Fish, Drinks, Etc.
A physician wno has made a study of
summer vegetables and their general effect
on a family, says the New York Press,
states that beets, carrots, potatoes, turnips,
green corn, peas and Lima beans are the
most fattening of the oommon vegetables.
Asparagus cleans the blood and ads on the
kidneys. Tomatoes contain calomel and
not on the liver. Some doctors go so far as
to claim that a delicate woman should not
eat sliced tornatoes unlas prescribed by her
family physician. Beets are particularly
rich in sugar and also excellent appetizers,
whether eaten with or without vinegar.
Beets contain from10 to 11 percent. of sugar,
carrots from 0 to 7 per cent., parsnips 6 per
cent., and turnips from 2 to 4 per cent., ac -
carding to the variety. They are about
equal as regards the proportion of nitro-
genous matter in them, each containing
from 1.3 to 2 per cent. of nitrogenous ele-
ments.
Cucumbers and lettuce are cooling. Those'
eatin„,0 lettuce with some regard forits bene-
ficial properties in the days when the ther-
mometer is 100 degrees in the shade will
use little dressing ; a dressing with little
mustard and oil and much vinegar is by far
preferable to the usual mustard plaster.
Olives, garlic and onions stimulate the
heart and quicken circulation, and conse-
quently increase the flow of saliva and so
promote digestion. Red onions are a strong
diuretic.
Red cherries, grapes, mulberries, pears,
strawberries, English golden pippin apples
and red raspberries, which contain large
percentages of sugar, are fattening if thor-
oughly ripe. If fruits are chosen for their
cooling qualities, currants, yellow plums
and small gooseberries should have the call.
If drinks are to be selected on the same
hypothesis, claret, lemonade and iced tea -
are More refreshing than milk, soda water,
' lager and the body wines. Iced tea is much
better than iced coffee,as it has ar tonic effect
on the pores. ,

and cheese are cooling as compared With
mutton; gravies, salmon, farinaceous foods,

tionery
Wire name Than Bair.
We are at work just now, said a menu-
lactuier the other day, on scene pretty small
'wire. It is 1.500th of an inch in diameter
—finer than the hair on your head, a great
• deal. Ordinary fine wire is drawn through
steel plates, but that wouldn't do for this
•work, because if the hole wore away ever
•. so little it would make the wire larger, and
that would spoil the job. Instead, it is
drawn through what is practically a hole in
. a diamond, to which there is, of course, no
wear. These diamond plates are made by a
woman in New York, who has a monopoly
of the art in this country. The wire is then
%run through machinery which winds it
.spirally with a layer of silk thread that is
.0015 of an inch in thickness—even finer
than the wire, you see. This wire is used
in making the receiving instruments of
y .ocean cables, the galvanometers used in
II testing cables and measuring insulation of
covered wires.

oBVI0158 INISTINCTION.
The Christian Guardian, in its leading
article this week, revieWts the contents of the
liondon Quarterly Remew. We quote ie3 fol-
loWs
An article on "The Unearned Inerenient" re-
1.'10ITS KT. William Ilarbutt Dawsonee recent
book ou that subjeet, and criticises forcefully
and keenly the central assumption of the Anti-
DOVOTtY men, is,, that all increased values of
land, which cannot be shown to result directly
front the labors of the owner, should belong to
the community, :1,,nd not to the private owner.
.Amoug the points made against this theory are
the follewing,; (1) That there in the best reason
to belici,e that'under this system there would
be no such inerease in the valne of land es iS
Seen tinder the present method. (2) That the
increased value of land, or anything else, is not
the result of labor ; but arises from the in-
oreased demand. A thing may have cost pinch
labor and be worth little, or it may have cost
little labor and be worth nauch. (3) This p110-
011310 01 givmg the increased value to the com-
munity applies equally to the increase AD, the
value of everything else. All property is a
monopoly as well as land. All Increase of
values, resulting, from an increased demand,
must be iven up, and the great niotive to
active in nstry would thu bc dostroYed. .(4)
The assmnption that those who cause an in-
crease in the value of anything have a right to
share that increased value leads to most
absurd conclusions. Actions that in themselves
are reprehensible may cause an inorease in the
value of land and ether things. (5) The owner
who sells his property at anincreased price
earns or deserves the increase,because he trans-
fers to the community the property which has
become more valuable. (8) It would be unjust
to give all the members of a commuuitY
indiscriminately an equal interest in the
increased value of land. (7) If the in-
creased value should be employe(' to
do away with taxes, then people would
be advantaged in proportion to their
wealth. (8) The scheme would be mischievous
and impracticable.
The argument turns upon section 3. Can-
not the editor of the Guardian, with his
logical mind, discern a difference between
land and the products of labor, which makes
the former a monopoly in the sense in which
the latter are not? Land becomes valuable
by reason of scarcity and the increased
demand for it. Can any man increase the
supply of land, and thus ease the mon-
opoly? No, because land is a fixed quan-
tity, the creation of God and not the pro-
duct of human labor. Boots, or houses, or
jackknives, or sheep may be scarce and
therefore their value is increased, but by the
act of man the supply can be augmented and
the equilibrium between supply and demand
restored. This essential difference has been
overlooked by the writer who contends that
the taking of the unearned increment of
land value by the community for public use
would justify the taking of the increased
value of labor products and thus destroy the
motive to active industry.
John Stuart Mill dealt with this point as
follows: "Laud, it is said, is not the only
article of property which rises in value from
the mere effect of the advance of national
wealth, independently of anything done by
the proprietor. Pictures by the old masters,
ancient sculptures, rare curiosities of all
sorts, have the same tendency. If it is not
unjust to deprive the landlord of the un-
earned increase of the value of his land, by
the same rule the increase of Raphaels and
Titians might be taken from their fortu-
nate possessors and appropriated by the
state.
"Were this true in principle, it would
lead to no consequences in practice, since
the revenue which could be obtained by
even a very high tax on these rare and
scattered possessions would not be worth
consideration to a prosperous country. But
it is not true, even in principle.
" Objects of art, however rare or incom-
parable, differ from land and its contents in
this essential particular, that they are pre-
cincts of labor. Objects of high art are pro-
ducts not only of labor but of sacrifice. The
prospective rise in price of works of art is
by no means an unearned increase ; the best
productions of genius and skill obtain that
honor while the Increasing value of land is
indiscriminate."
There is neither force nor keenness in
generalizing from an exception. While
some things which have cost much labor are
worth little, and other things which have
cost little labor are worth much, the general
rule is that the value of a commodity is pro-
portionate to the labor bestowed upon its
production. A man may find a big nugget
of gold the day after he reaches the mining
district, but on the average there is as much
profit in digging potatoes as in digging
gold.
We quote further from,Mill to emphasize
the distinction between land and other
property, by ignoring which Mr. Dawson
has supplied himself with the foundation for
his argument: "When the sacredness of
property' is talked of, it should always be
remembered that any such sacrednessdoes
not belong, in the samedegree to landed
property. No man made the land. It is
the original inheritance of the whole
species. Its appropriation is 'wholly a
question of general expediency. When
private property in land is not etpedient it
is unjust. It is no hardship to any one to
be excluded from what others have pro-
duced; they were not bound to produce it
for his use, and he loses nothing by not
sharing in what otherwise would not have
existed at all. But it is some hardship to
be born into the world and to find all
nature's gifts previously engrossed, and no
place left for the new -comer. The clahn of
the landowners to the land is altogether
subordinate to the general 'policy of the
state. To me it seem almost an
axiom that property in land should
be interpreted strictly, and that the balance
in all cases of doubt should ncline against
the proprietor. The revers s the case with
property in movables, and in all things the
product of labor ; over those, the owner's
power both of use and of exclusion should
be absolute, except where positive evil to
others would result from it ; but in the
case 01 1011(1, no exclusive right should be
permitted in any individual which cannot
be shown to be productive of positive good.
No quantity of movable goods awhich a per-
son can acquire by his labor prevents others
from acquiring the like by the same means;
but from the very nature of the case, who-
ever owns land keeps others out of the en-
joyment of it The pretension of two Dukes
to shut up a pert of the Highlands,to Prevent
disturbance to wild animals, .is an abuse ;
it exceeds the legitimate botinds of the
right of landed property. " The land is not
of man's creation; and for a person to
appropriate to himself a mere gift of
nature, not made to him in particular, but
which belonged as much to all others until
he took possession of it, is prima, facie an
injustice to all the rest." .
Rev. William Thackeray, in his book on
" The Land and the Community," presents
tbe historical proof that the land belongs
to the people. The logical free trader
arrives at the same end by tracing the
effect of the gradual repeal of duties and
taxes on goods. The editor of the
Guardian might get there by considering
that " the earth is the Lord's," and
by studying the meaning and inten-
tion of the year of jubile. There
is little value in an argument which ignores
an important part of the premises, namely,
the essential difference detween a gift of
God and a precinct of human labor, one of
Which is Axed in quantity while the other
can be increased at will by human exertion.
On the recognition of thet distinctioh, the
great political problem of the day, in all
civilized countries, hinges. When the cern-
inanity takes for public use only the value
produced by the community, leaving for in-
dieicluel use the vela° produced by 1 he
individual, population will be no longer
differentiated into the too rich alid the very
poor. And when men do not have to spend
their whole time and effort ministering to
their bellies, the preachers will be able to
awaken their interest regarding their souls.
Let the editor of the Guardian think of
this, pray over it, study it, before lie again
throws the influence of the Methodist
organ ou the side of monopoly and of
privilege. —Hann Uton Times.

For New York's Young Women.
Ground was broken in Brooklyn last
Monday for the new Young Women's Chris-
tian Association building. The building
will cost $225,000 and will be six stories
high with a front of light brick and terra
cotta. In the basement will be a gymnas-
ium, bathroom and pharmacy. Opening
from the entrance hall will be an octagonal
reception room and a chapel with seating
capacity for 800 persons. The reading room
and library will occupy the second story,
and a lecture room and parlors the third.
The rest of the building will be devoted to
the olass rooms, kitchen and work rooms.
One of the pleasantest features of the build-
ing will be a roof garden. The building
will be finished by May 1, 1892. Mr. D. C.
Wood has given $125,000 toward the cost of
it as a memorial to his wife.

Four•Footed Gentleman.
.„ To be well-educated, to have good man-
ners, and to be used to good society, are
certainly strong claims to being considered
a gentleman, and if a gentleman may some-
times be called a donkey, why may not a
donkey sometimes be called a gentleman?
Something like this may have been the
reasoning of the man who framed a novel
advertisement which appeared in a London
paper:
"For sale, a donkey, well-educated, of
gentle manners, good-looking and a good
goer. Has been driven and cared for by
gentlewomen, and is a gentleman. Only

is a flat, round gold piece, and on it is
writren in Indian Ink its value, which is
about $220. The next sized coin to this
valuable but extremely awkwaiel one is the
" obang " of Japan, which is worth about
$55 ; and the next comes , the " benda " of
Ashantee, which represents a value of about
$49. The California $50 goltlpiece i woeth
about the same as the 'a benda." The

AN INDOLENT INSECT.
Mr. Mosquito, says the St. Louis Globe -
Democrat, is an easy-going, gorgeously -
arrayed creature, with neither the disposi-
tion nor the ability to bite animals and
draw blood. He is a sort of Turvey-drop
in the insect world, who seems to have no
higher object during his brief life than to
show himself about town."
ma REAL CIJURIT.
The female tnosquito can at a pinch live
the life of a vegetarian, but what she wants
is gore, piping hot gore, human if she can
get it; but never overlooking any chance.
The toughest hide that ever covered a horse
or a steer does not intervene between the
lady mosquito and, her vampirish thirst. It
is even doubted that Col. Msquito is given
to vocal effect.
How TILE MOSQUITO IS BUILT.
In the human family the female is the
more ornamental as well as the more
amiable animal. But in all the species of
the mosquito family the male apparently is
the superior being. In grace and elegance
of architectural construction, as well as in
variety and gorgeousness of raiment, the
male mosquito far surpasses the female.
The male also enjoys privileges and preroga-
tives to which the female can never aspire—
certainly can never gain. The function
which she performs in propagation of the
species compels her to consume more food
than he does'and all this food she is
obliged to getherself. In every essential
particular she has to make her own and the
family's living without the slightest aid
fromehim.
mosquito first appears in the form of
an egg. The eggs are deposited in the
water by the mother mosquito. Before
doing this she crosses her hind legs in the
shape of a letter X. As the eggs are
dropped they are caught by the crossed legs,
the glutinous substance attaching to the
eggs holding them together. The number
of eggs laid by one female before rising is
very great. These eggs are arranged in the
form of a raft and left to ride on the water,
shallow, stagnant fresh water usually being
selected. /3y the additions made to the
number of eggs the raft is converted into a
sort of a boat, and when the laying process
is all completed the boat consists of from
300 to 350 eggs. This is the first stage in
the, exitsten,ceaef the embryo mosquito. .
HATCHED,
A few days after the egg boat is launched
the knee appear. These are of an elon-
gated, worm -like form, and come out of the
lower end of the eggs, leaving the empty
shells forming the boat lying on the surface
of the water. The shell is soon destroyed
by the action of winds and water. When
the larvie appear the eggs are hatched.
The larva) are vulgarly called "wigglers."
Suspended front the surface of the water,
with head downward, they are enabled to
breathe by means of a sort of tube communi-
cating with the traebte. The appearance
of the
TnEm
elanae may. be said to complete the
second stage in the existence of the MOS-
ciuiOSQUITO BEGINS ACTIVE LIFE
From ten to fifteen days after the appear-
ance of the larvae the substance enters the
pupm state. They take on a thin skin,
almost completely covering the larvas, and
roll around in the water, their motions
being directed by a fin -like contrivance at
the end of the tail. The quick, seemingly
irregular movements of the puree , give them
the name of "tumblers." They, too, are
familiar to persons residing in the rural
districts in the spring and summer. The
change of the larvm into the puree com-
pletes the third stage in the mosquito's
existence.
Between five and ten days after the pupra
appears the last and most critical stage in
the entire metamorphosis of the egg into the
perfect insect arrives. About this period
the pulite skin bursts open, and the mosquito
takes its first look at daylight. •
The Summer Girl.
Now that the reign of the summer girl is
at hand, these are a few of the things to
count on the beads of her rosary of her
remembrance: The girl the boys like Best to
take rowing doesn't trail her hands in the
water, even if they are pretty and her rings
handsome, for it gets the boat out of trim.
She doesn't act frisky or kittenish in the
boat or playfully spring out of it at the
shore, only to fall back very unplayfully
into the stream and dip the skiff half full of
water. She doesn't pretend to steer if she
doesn't know how, just because the bright
cords of the rudder are effective against her
dress. She doesn't put up her sunshade
when the wind is dead against yon, even if
its lining is becoming to her complexion.
She doesn't get a headache and have to go
home just when the fish are beginning to
bite ; and she doesn't squeal if you happen,
inadvertently, to land a gamy catch in her
lap. --The Eye.

LITTLE RED le WORN.
But All the Rose rinks Are in the Bloom
of Favor.
Fashion favors almost every shade of pink,
running from wild rose pink to deep rose
color, from old rose to "neille," and from
china pink to geranium. Fresh blues carry
the clay just now, although what are under-
stood by gray -blues are still a great deal
worn, but these really ought to be classed
among the neutrals along with the slates
and lavenders.
Gray -blue is often obtained by the weav-
ingof darkish'
blue with white just as a
varied scale of pink is the 'resultof combin-
ations of different reds with white. Warm
yellows are more in vogue than cold ones—
phat is to say, golden yellows, maize,amber,
marigold yellow, with a brown or a red
tone, now bordering on russet, now ap-
proaching more or less nearly to orange,
and not greeny yellows.
Very little actual red is worn, though
scarlet and crimson crop up in millinery,
trimmings, etc., or are introduced in small
quantities in the designs on figured fabrics.
A decided movement in favor of ,green has
been noticeable of late, more particularly
very light shades of rather bright positive
green, which would seem to denote that
this color will be fashionable next winter.
The wings and crape draperies with
which so many hats are' now trimmed are
often in ebande-bal or absinthe green,
which harmonize equally well with pink or
mauve.
Pale green silk is also often used as a
background for lace and other transparent
tissues.
A TALE OF CRIIELTY.
Shipwrecked Sailors Shamefully Treated
by an Island Governor.
A London Cable says: Forty of the crew
of the wrecked British ship NewYork have
arrived at Liverpool. They were landed at
Plymouth last night ha a shocking plight.
The New York sailed from Swansea on Feb.
61h last, coal -laden, for San Francisco. She
was wrecked at New Year's Island in the
Pacific on April 20th, when one of the crew
was drowned. The Governor of Itooroon
or Staten Island, to whom the shipwrecked
men went for assistance, was unmercifuL
He refused to give them clothes and com-
pelled them while barefooted to draglumber
over the snow. They escaped after five
weeks, during which they fared shamefully,
to Oshooa, whence they escaped in five days
to Sandy Point. The men are in a miserable
condition. The British Consul sent them
home.
The Typical Modern City.
Paris is the typical modern city. In the
work of transforming the labyrinthine tan-
gle of narrow, dark and foul medieval alleys
into broad modern thoroughfares and of
providing those appointments and conven-
iences that distingmsh the well -ordered city
of our day from the old-time cities which
had grown up formless and orgaailess by
centuries of accretion—in this brilliant nine-
teenth century task of re -constructing cities
in their physical characters, dealingwith
them as organic entities, and endeavoring to
give such force to the visible body as will
Best accommodate the expanding life within,
Paris has been the unrivalled leader.
Berlin and Vienna have accomplished mag-
nificent results in city -making, and great
British town—Glasgow, Birmingham, Man-
chester and others—have in a less ambitious
way wrought no less useful reforms; but
Paris was the pioneer. French public
authwities, architects and engineers were
the first to conceive effectually the ideas of
symmetry and spaciousness, of order and
convenience, wholesomeness and cleanliness,
in urban arrangements. —Dr. Albert Shaw.
Dr. Konrad Brunner of the University of
Zurich has proved by a series of experiments
that micro-organisms are discharged through
the perspiration as well as through the
blood. The bacteria can be seen in the
drops of perspiration by means of a micro-
scope.
"MARCHING AS TO wait.
She was young and none was fairer,
Cupid, raptured by her smiles,
Chose her an his arreor-bearer
And gave her all his dainty wiles.
Down to the sea they went together,
Andel' they met fell in their toils;
And through the merry summer weather
Brave Cupid fought—she bore the spoils.

Wily 0 lre$Simist Was Forced to Leave His
Good quarters.
The trouble all arose over one breakfast,
fl iney be that they knew he hated baseball9
or it may be that their talk resulted from
the faet that every man, woman and child
in the boarding-house, with the exception
of the lank pessimist, had been to the game
the day before, says the Chieago Tribune.
At any rate, wheu the landlady took the
coffee pc>t in the one hand and the cream
pitcher in the other, and begau pouring
from both at the same time, he was inoveet
to ask, without a suspicion of danger, what
she was doing.
"Making a double play unassisted," was
her prompt response.
He booked pained, but said nothing.
A moment later, when a codfish -ball was
gallantly declined by the dude, who in-
sisted on passing it to his fair neighbor, the
dry goods clerk on the other side of the
table cried out :
"Passed ball
The pessimist fingered his knife nerVouslY
as he glared at the clerk, and had hardly
recovered his composure when the waitress
kicked the cat through the doorway and the
pretty typewriter lisped:
" Put out !"
And the young lawyer added:
" Safe hit 1"
He hardly had time to shift his reproach-
ful glance from the pretty typewriter to the
young lawyer when the old rnaicl began tell-
ing what a brute the man next door was, and
the real estate agent sang out :
" Score one 1"
For sympathy he turned to the landlady's
pretty daughter, who sat next to him and
who had thus far said nothing. 13ut as he
declined the last muffin on the plate and she
took it, she looked him straight in the.
eye, and with her most captivating smile
said:
" A sacrifice 1"
Then he got up and stalked out, and
there is a room to rent in that boarding-
house.
