My friends, 1 cannot tell what practical
suggestion comes to your mind from this
walk through uncovered Fompeli, but the
first thought that absorbs me 1b that, while
nrt and culture are important, they cunnol
tho morals or tho life ef a groat town.

transferred to the Museo Borbonieo at Na

Those Pompeiian artists mixed such dura
bility of colors that, though their paintings
were buried In ashes and seorlro for 1700
years, and since they were uncovered many
of them have remained thero exposed to the
rains and w«n.l8 an l winters nn l summers
130 years, the color 1b as Iresh. and vlvhl and
true'as though yesterday it had passed from
the easel. Which of our modern paintings
could Btund all that? And yet many of tho
spool mens of Pompeiian nrt show that tho
city was sunk to such a depth of abomination
that there was nothing deopor* Sculptured
and petrified and embalmed abomination.
Thero was a state of publlo morals worse
than belongs to any city now standing Under
the sum
Yet how many think that all that is neces
sary is to cultivate the mind and advance tho
knowledge and improve the arts. Have you
the Impression that eloquence will do tho
elevating work? Why, Pompeii had Oiooro
half of every year for its citizen. Have you
the idea th it literature is all thnt is neces
sary to keep a city right? Why, Sallust, with
a pi*n that was the boust of Roman litora-
turo, had a mansion in that doomed olty. Do
yoit think that sculpture and art are quite
mindent for tho production of good morals?
Then correct your delusion by examining
the statues in the Temple of Mercury at Pom
peii, or the winged figures of its Parthenon,
and tho colonnades and arches of tills house’
of Diomed.
By all means have schools and Dusseldorf

the genius of all the ceuturios can bank it

Hystera of heat regultion which is cer

asks for heat. The order is transmit
ted to a peculiar person, tbotypewritor
of the hotel generally. She goes to a
switchboard and connection is given
electrically with thnt room, allowing
heat to puss into it. Tho occupant of
the room is, perhaps, particular. A
hot-blooded person wishes merely to
keep from freezing; another wants a
high temperature. Each can have his
wish, for a thermostat with a pointer
is oil the wall, and tho room will keep
itself automatically as desired. The
regulation is seventy degrees, but it
can be departed from as stated.—Hard

His Hog Mopped the Leak.
One of tho few dogs worth having
is owned by Silas Holbrook, of East
Harpswell. Starting out from tho
wharf in a boat with his master the
other day the* dog noticed that the
plug was out of the bottom of tho boat
and the water was coming in. Alter
calling attention to the tronblo he
placed hiB paw over the hole and kept

he is merged entirely in tiro private sol
dier. Ilia social rank, if he Ims one, is
ignored; tiro ollieers who command him
regard only his oflioloncy and fuiilifnl-
ness to duty, and if any dillcreneo is
made between a man of some education
and tiro peasants around him it is in the
direction of putting him in to the 1‘eloton
dTnstruetion, a species of school drill,
whero ho may earn in six months or a
year the grade of corporal, hot in which
ou account of too extra duties the place
involves, the life is harder in nmntml I
labor, and has less free time limn that 1
of the unambitious trooper outside. It
must not be inferred from thin fact that ,
tlie Peloton d’lnstructh n stands apart. It ■
is held merely during the hours which
are otherwise free time. Nor must it he
imagined for a moment that a man
of a richer class than his follows neees-
sarily belongs to It, or tho men of such a
class form the majority of its members.
Tiiore may be in a company or battery
from six to eight cloves capereaux, and in
a whole regiment less than that number
of gentlemen.
Tho elevation to the grade of reserve
officer is also proceeded with in a manner
very different from that obtaining in
Germany. Tho places in the reserve are
given in part to retired officers of the
active army and in part to those men
who have followed IhePelotondTnstruc-
tion for at least one year, and who, at
the end of that tiirio, are competent to
