There is no rest for the
American. Work, business
lias become such a r¡ go with
him that a holiday suddenly
forced upon hi in is npt to
throw liiin into a mild form
of despair. Nothing excites
an American's astonishment
so much as the sight of thou-
sands of Germans spending
half a day, a whole day, or
even days sitting out of doors
altogether, celebrating some
musical or other festival, with
out feeling bored, and with-
out kicking over the traces.
The American is wanting iu
the capacity for this long
drawn out thrill of pleasure,
and even tho use of lager
beer seems unable to inocu-
late him with the requisite
phlegm. The dream of the
French grocer to retire and
live on his private income
after hie fortieth year would
just as little suit tho Ameri-
can; the pxcitement connect-
ed with work and business—
an excitement groater than
any other on account of the
constant fluctuations—has be
come as indispensiblo to him
as tho air ho breathes; the
politician dies in congress, the
tradesman in his counting-
room. —Ex.
The latent fashionable gar-
«
ment in Paris is what are call-
ed vestes. They are short
zouave or Spanish jackets,
made of the richest materials,
fastening across the chest or
at the neck, and reaching just
below the arrnpit in length.
For indoor or evening wear
they are accompanied gen-
erally by a chemisette of lace,
silk or India muslin, confined
at the waist by a very btoad
sash or pointed Swiss belt.
A correspondent describing
the business establishment of
Mr. Worth, say3that the salon
des amazones, where ladies
are fitted for riding habits, is
draped in green velvet and
adorned with side saddles,
whips, and stirrups, and an
insipid blonde young man
helps ladies on to a lifo-sizc
dummy horse. Many Pari-
sian ladies now spend annually
$25,000 to $30,000 at the
magasins of this great [master
of fashion.
German anthropoligical sta-
tistics, which have just been
completed, sljow that in Prus
sia, among tho youth below
the age of fourteen, 72 per ct.
had fair hair. 26 per cent, had
brown hair, and only 1.21 per
cent, black hair. In Bavaria
there were only 54 per cent,
with fair hair, 41 per cent,
with brown hair, and 5 per
cent, with black hair. A
similar difference prevails with
regard to blue eyes and brown
eyes. A brunette color of the
skin is found in Prussia only
to the extent ot 6.53 per cent;
in Bavaria 15 per cent.
When a man milks a cow
he should not attempt to
smoke a cigar at the same
time. A young man ont in
tlje country tried it, and got
irm
along well enough until hoj
lowered his head and touched
the eows's íi¡*nk with the
lighted end of hU weed. Tho
next instant himself and cigar
were dreadfully "put out."
The cow introduced about two
tons weight into one of her
hind legs, and then-passed it
under the milker's jaw. When
he ceased whirling around,
and the myriads of stars he saw
htitl disappeared, he said form-
ina* was the hardest work a
man could put his hands to.
This is how they make as-
sets: A person writing to an
advertiser of ''a lot of stock
cheau for speculative or sched-
ule purposes," was informed
that certificates representing
an original investment of $30,
000 in a mining failure could
be bought for $100; and the
purchaser, in case he deemed
it worth while-to turn bank-
rupt. "might put them in the
place of their face amount in
cash, and then inform the cre-
ditors that they stood for
a loss of cash '
The death of a printer is
thus described in an English
paper: "George Woodcock,
the * of his profession, the
type of honesty, tho ! of all,
and though the JSP of death
has put a . to his exist,encev
every § of his life was without
a ||."
The latest surgical luxury
is an instrument by which in-
cisions may he made without
giving pain. It consists ot a
knife which is regulated by a
watch attachment, so that, it
advances at the rate of only
one inch in six hours. A
slight sensation of uneasiness
is produced, which does not,
however, prevent the patient
from going to sleep
