Perhaps sudden death may be one of i he penalties which we have to pay for a highly advanced civilization. The feverish excitement, the incessant effort necessary to support existence, which is to many men a sea that has no ha\en, a struggle that knows no lull, must inevit ably tell, one may reasonably suppose, on the heart's action, if a man escapes the ordinary forms of nervous derangement. Sudden death, whether the result of morbid agencies so subtle that they evade diagnosis, or so insidious that the\ an ticipate prognosis by suddenly and unex pectedly terminating life, is becoming so common that it forms one of the distinct ive features of modern pathology. The form in which it commonly appears now may be said to be the result of obscure cardiac affections, and it was compara tively more rare, both in ancient times and among our forefathers, compared with its present frequency. During the earlier and even the me dueval centuries of the Christian era, sud den death was regarded with especial horror, and in the litany of the Anglican church is represented as heading the list of the most terrible calamities incident to humanity In pagan antiquity, on the other hand, a sudden death was held to be the crown of the blessings that heaven could bestow on man. Ihe ‘Greeks represented Death as a pleasing, gentlo being, while their conceptions of an after life were gloomy. Socrates regarded death as “an indiffer ent accident.’ Much depends on the circumstances under which death piesents itself, as well as the state of man s con science and the condition of his worldly affairs. As years roll on death becomes less and less dreaded. Aged people gen erally leave life without regret. Julius Caesar is said to have wished for sudden death, but he said so just before he was slain, and when the mission of his life bad been accomplished. Charles II could apologize to his courtiers for being such an “unconscionable time in dying. . Vol- taire, and Hume, and Rousseau weighed pros and cons for sudden death, and affected to sum up in its favor, but such a subject is sorry matter either for epi gram or rhetoric. In nine cases out of ten death Is a great calamity. It finds men unprepared; it deprives them of the alleviations which rob the summons of many of its terrors, it often entails embarrassment and mis ery by cutting off all opportunity of making testatory arrangements, thereby bequeathing a direful legacy of feud and estrangement to families who might have lived in harmony. The moral, and a very practical one it is, is that the increasing frequency of sudden deaths is to be regarded with alarm, softened by a hope that med ical science may be able to arrest its progress, and that a proper regard for their domestic responsibilities will induce sensible men not to continue to defer the proper arrangement of their affairs which ten seconds may make too late. The three men whose lives, tempera ments and habits were peculiarly t} pic;tl of the times in which we live were un doubtedly Lord Macaulay, William Make peace Thackeray and Charles Dickens. These three men, renowned writers, and each a master of his art, all died com paratively young, and all died suddenly, and the first two of heart disease. Death came upon them, not with slow and measured steps, but without note of warning. Apparently there was a pain- * less passing from time into eternity. Look at the work these men did. Ma caulay had already won high reputation for prose and poetry at the age of 23. and the famous article on Milton, which at once won him a reputation as a essayist, that his subsequent performances in that line merely confirmed, was published be fore he was 25 years old. Macaulay for over thirty years had three fives, as it were. lie was a politi cian, he was a man of letters, he was a man of society ; a great debater and a good working official; a distinguished and voluminous author; a diner out whose company was sought for his con versation by all who could obtain it. Hard brain work in parliament and in a man’s library is scarcely compatible with grand dinners and breakfasts which, with delicacies of food and wine, were al most as baii as the dinners. Thackeray and Dickens suffered greatly from the same cause. They were free livers; they loved society. These two did an immense quantity of literary work. Thackeray scarcely fell off in point of execution, hardly in construc tion, to the last. “Denis Duval,” a story which he left incomplete, promised to be as good as any of its predecessors except “Vanity Fair,” which is its au thor’s best work. Dickens was far more successful in his latter work. “Our Mu tual Friend'' is a performance more am bitious than able, with a heavy, involved plot; and the half of “Edwin Drood” that has been published is not good enough to make any reader wish for more of it. Dickens overworked himself until paralysis gave him warning, un happily not heeded, and the end came suddenly. A very elegant writer, in a beautifully written essay entitled “Erroneous No- • tions of Death Reproved,” observes; “In particular it is thought that this final event passes with some dreadful visita tion of unknown agony over the depart ing sufferer. It is imagined that there is some strange and mysterious reluctance in the spirit to leave the body; that it struggles long to retain its hold, and is at last torn with violence from its mortal tenement, aSid, in fine, that this conflict between the soul and the body greatly adds to the pangs of the dissolution. But it may be justly presumed from what usually appears that there is no particu lar nor acute suffering, not more than iB Often experienced during life, nay, rather that there is less, because the very powers of suffering are enfeebled, the very capa cities of paiu are nearly exhausted.” Death is to be regarded rather as & sleep than a conflict of our faculties; it is repose—the body’s repose after the busy and- toilsome day of life.— 4 ** now One Woman Earns a Livelihood. Care of the Haii^-Trlmming. The names of the occupations which refined women in reduced circumstances are seeking nowadays are legion. The field of type writing, stenography and telegraphy has leng been crowded by women who have to earn their own liv ing and the living of families, and who cannot do manual labor. Places as pri vate secretaries, all sorts of clerkships in shops and business offices, “traveling agencies,” editorships, employments bj the score have been added to that which twenty five years ago was almost the only occupation in which a refined woman thrown upon her own resources could encage—that of teaching children. There are women now who even write for the papers, and have attained fame as reporters, tramping about town at all hours and in all sorts of weather. A re- nooter was introduced by a friend, the other day, to a lady who was earning a very comfortable livelihood as a hair groomer. “I’m not a hairdresser,” she said, ‘1 m a hair groomer. I don't do up hair at all. I only comb the hair and give it that general attention which every woman’s hair demands two or three times a week. There are lots of women in the citv who are in this business and who would scorn to call themselves pro fessional hairdressers. She was an elderly lady, tall and slen der and dressed neatly and with excel lent taste in black. Her manners were gentle and refined. • Her face had that dark, quiet look seen on the faces of in valids or of women who had a good deal of suffering. She was living in a le- spectable boarding house. _ ,, “I was cornered and I had to do it, she said. “I had to earn my living sud denly, and the only way I could think of to do so at my age was to care for women 's hair. My mother was for years an invalid. She had beautiful hair, and it used to soothe and quiet her to have me comb her hair and stroke it softly. In this wav 1 learned to care for the hair, especially that of nervous women. There are a great many women, of course, of the so called upper classes who can’t afford to keep maids and yet who want their hair cared for regularly. They don’t like to have professional .hair dressers around them, either. It is to such women I look for my patronage. “What do I do to the hair? Well, first I rub it dry with a soft and then with a hard brush. I don’t put a lot of water and ‘cleaning stuff upon the hair at first as some do, but after I have the dandruff all out, I wet the hair with a simple solution which I know to be effec tive and not deleterious; then I rub and brash the hair dry’ again. Next comes the trimming. 1 pull out the gray hairs one by one. taking care to pull them so that the scalp is not lacerated, and the hair cells themselves destroyed. There is a great art in pulling out hairs. You must pull them in the direction in which they he in the scalp just as you would a sliver of wood from your hand, in the direction in which it entered. Men or women can’t pull out their gray hairs themselves, for it is utterly impossible for them to see that they are pulling the hairs out on the proper slant. Of course, you know that people are very touchy on the subject of gray hairs in their heads. It makes a woman have the blues for a week when her first gray hairs come. Now, when gray hairs are the result of age I never meddle with them; the only thing to do is to let them come. But they are often the result of sickness or some other little trouble, and it is then often possible to prevent their com ing. Baldness is to be doctored in just the same way. I can never cure, though, aud nobody can cure the baldness of peo ple, like accountants and others, accus tomed tc work all day with the glare and heat of gaslights or electric lights beating down upon their heads. In then- cases the hair cells have been literally burnt out. “Well, finally, I trim the hair. I cut each individual hair separately so as to make it even with the others. When the hair is gathered up in the hand and cut square across in a lump, as it were, with the scissors, the straggling hairs are not reached. The result is only to make the hair shorter and quite as uneven as before. Then 1 part the hair simply and do it up plainly. As 1 told you, if women want their hair done up in any of the fancy styles they mustn’t come to me. “How much does it pay me? Well, I generally- think I ought to get $1, at least, each time I visit a lady’s house. If a lady lives a great way up town and it takes' me all the afternoon or morning to go up aud see her, I want more money, of course. And, on the conn-ary, when two or three patrons live near each other, why, I can moderate the price a little to each one. It is a humble way of. getting a living, I know, but it is respectable, and I shall stick to it.”—New York fc>un. A Description of the Process of Its Slak ing Throughout. When the beets are dumped into the bins they pass from the farmer and are ready to start on their way to sugar- dom. Beneath each bin is a concrete ditch, and into this ditch the beets fall through adjustable traps. A stream of water is constantly flowing through the ditches in the direction of th'e fac tory. and it takes the beets to the south end of the main building and empties them into a cistern, in which is work- in" a large screw that extends to the second floor, from which they pass into a large, drum shaped, iron cylinder, called the “wash barrel,” where the beets are thoroughly cleaned. When cleaned they are thrown from the “wash bar rel” into a hopper from which they pass into an endless elevator, which runs to the top floor, where the beets are discharged into a large hopper. Then • they pass into a “cage,” which will hold 1,000 pounds of beets, and when this weight is indicated the cage empties its load into the cutter. The cage and its indicator enable the fac tory people to closely estimate the amount of raw material used each day in the manufacture of sugar. It is also a check on every department. It will show any error that may arise in the receiving or shipping department. The slicer or cutter is a round iron shaft with steel knives, capable of slicing 400 tons of beets every twenty- four liours, which runs down to the floor below. The lower end of the slicer opens into a wooden trough about two feet square, on the bottom of which is an endless belt. As the sliced beets fall from the cutter into this trough the belt takes them along as fast as they descend. Placed on this floor and ranged alongside the trough is a battery of twelve diffusion tanks, into which the sliced beets are next passed and diluted under a water pressure of eighty pounds. By this pressure the sugar and salts, amount ing to 90 percent., are released in liquid form, leaving only 10 per cent, of pulp to represent all the solid mat ter contained in the sugar beet of com merce. From the diffusion tanks the liquid sugar is then passed into the heater. Each tank is emptied every five minutes. In the heater the liquid is subjected to 75 degs. F. for some time, when it is again sent onward to the carbonization tank, where it is put through a clarifying process by lime and lime gas. From the carbonization tank it is pumped into the presses, through which it is run three times under tre mendous pressure, every particle of lime being retained in the presses,, while the liquid sugar is conveyed to the quadruple evaporator, probably the heaviest pieces of machinery used in the whole process of sugar making. After going through the evaporation process it is delivered to the vacuum pans at the top of the building, where it is crystallized. Underneath the vacuum pans are placed very large square receivers, into which it is al lowed to fall when crystallization has taken place; these receivers have re volving screws which form the bot tom, and are kept constantly in mo tion to keep the sugar- -from caking. From the receivers it again descends to the centrifugal machines, where it is purged of the molasses and finally emptied into sacks on the lower floor and loaded on the railroad cars for shipment to the refinery.—San Fran cisco Chronicle. Tlie Women of Coots Rica. The little delays at the various wayside stations afford excellent opportunities of observing the different types of Costa Ricans; for side by side with the traveled gentleman, attired with scrupulous re gard to the fashions of this last quarter of the Nineteenth century, stand the barefooted men of the peon class, in nearfy every case more than decently garbed, but with the silken scarf about the waist and the huge machete which are the insignia of their rank in life. These groups are always picturesque, for the costume of the women alone is sufficient to add a charm to the rapid succession of pictures ever passing in affluence of color and form before the eyes of the ob servant traveler. These women, even small girls, wear full starched skirts that touch the ground, only displaying their small bare feet as the folds sway in the motion of walking. From living so much in the open air and from the amount of exer cise taken, they nearly all glory in splen : didly developed chests, which, with their rounded arms, are fully displayed by the low, much befrilled waists worn by them all, differing only in the matter of more or less adornment. Still, over their shoulders they dispose the folds of a silk or woolen scarf, or a bright colored handkerchief, which usually only reveals the full throat and the graceful curve of the arm and shoulder. While referring to the beauty of the peon women it must be added that their pleasing appearance lasts only with the years of their first youth. Whether the exercise and the open air together pro duce a too early maturity, and in conse quence a too early decay, it is hard to say—the result is there all the same. Side by side with the young and hand some daughter, the picture of bloom ing health, stands the mother—a worn and wrinkled crone- the two pictures of “She;” and looking from one to the other the heart is moved with the same compassion with which poor Holly gazed upon the awful remains of that imperial loveliness that bad wrought such havoc with his middle aged affections.

Many methods are suggested to keep drinking water cool, but I think the fol lowing will be found to possess advan tages over the box system. Procure a ten gallon jar and an empty salt barrel, which can be had for the asking, put suf ficient dry, well tamped sawdust in the barrel, so that when the jar is placed therein it will protrude about one inch above the barrel. Fill in around the jar with sawdust and tamp as before, leav ing a space of about two inches to be filled out with cement nicely smoothed off and sloped, in order that any drip ping water will be carried over the edge of the barrel, and your cooler is com pleted in about one-twentieth of the time required to make a box, and far more handy.—Cor. Boston Budget. Petroleum Deposits of Peru. Behind Tumbez are the petroleum de posits of Peru, which have been known to the natives ever since the times of the Incas, but they were ignorant of the character or value of the oil. A Yankee by the name of Larkin, from western New York, went down there to sell kero sene, and recognized in the material which the Indians used for lubricating and coloring purposes the same article he was peddling. Attempts have been made to utilize the deposits, which are very extensive, but so far they have not been successful in producing a burning fluid that is either safe or agreeable.-—Win. Eleroy Curtis in American Magazine. Rewards of Authors. . Some recent items in the newspapers suggest a comparison of prices paid for various sorts of literary work a decade back and at the present time. If the paragraphers are to be trusted— and in this instance we think they are —Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett sold the right of serial publication of her new novel to The Ledger story paper of New York for the enormous sum of $15,000, with the privilege of selling it in book form in any fashion she chooses. Certainly this passion for fiction by the most successful writers, which the publishers are showing just now, is a glorious thing for those who have been fortunate enough to secure this desirable reputation; and the bid ding for these books among enterpris ing proprietors of periodicals lias made the market value absurdly high; it takes a long purse to compete for these stories in these days. But this active rivalry has been a great gain to lesser lights as well, we fancy—at all events among magazine writers. Ten years ago $10 fora printed page of 1,000 words was considered high pdy by the majority of workers in this field, and now unknown authors, whose MSS. are accepted, receive sel dom less than $15, and frequently $20, per 1,000 words from anv of the great magazines. Some of the best short stories ever printed were bought for $S0 less than ten years back. Now it is safe to say $200 is the average among those whose names arc known to magazine readers, while $150 is a low estimate for the average story of even an unknown author, and still the supply is scant. Of course for tales by famous writers, whose names “help sell,” $500 is not too small a sum. Short poems, not many years ago, were paid for by $5 and $10 checks, where now the writers expect $30 and $50, and get them, too. The reason is not far to seek—the demand is greater, and the magazines, because of their enormous sale, are able to pay liberally. But has the pay increased for other kinds of literary work? Ten per cent, on the retail price of books has been the average copyright for many years, and it is scarcely, if at all, higher than that today; the rate of compensation for newspaper work and for the weekly press (except when a great name is paid for) has certainly not in creased; in many of the offices we know of it has been diminished, and surely the literary hack is now no bet ter off thnq he ever was. To be suc cessful, therefore, at least from a worldly point of view, an author must produce something striking to get the ^1 /Ml tVlOT1 ll1ft f’llA Till Miles of Rose Plantations. The railroad companies in Lower Hun gary are successfully making use of the Provence rose for hedges by the sides of the railways to protect the ■ tracks from drifting snow. The writer, in imagina tion. pictures the scene of a “summer’s, journey gladdened by the glory of roses, shining to the right and left of a swiftly gliding steam chariot, while the sur rounding atmosphere i3 fraught with faintly subtle scents which superinduce a soft languor in the fortunate traveler.” Between Tatar Bazar and Adrianople the horseman following the post road on a sultry June day rides mile after mile through enormous rose plantations blaz ing with scarlet and crimson, and giving out odors well nigh as overpowering as that of the attar distilled from their gor geous blossoms. In those fields of queen flowers he may gaze to his fill cn “the Damask rose, whose rare mixture doth disclose beauties pencils cannot feign.” The uncounted millions of roses grown in Roumelia are not merely turned to ac count by the rose farmers for sale to the preparers of that powerful essence which, inclosed in long, slender, carefully stop pered bottles lettered with gold, is still so popular throughout the east, although it has quite gone out of fashion in this country. Many tons’ weight of their leaves, gathered and packed while they are freshly f;d!en. are converted into rose jam, one of the exquisite conserves which, under the generic name of “dul- ebatz,” are so admirably confected in Turkey, Greece and Roumania, and con stitute a leading feature in the light but toothsome refection offered to tlie casual visitor in every well to do Oriental house hold.—Vick’s Magazine. Harper’s Weekly - has a well-established place, as the leading illustrated newspaper in America. The fairness of its editorial com- I meats on cu rent politics has earned for it the respect and confidence of all impartial read ers, and the variety and excellence of its liter ary contents, which include serial and short- stories by the best and most popular writers, fit it for tlie perusal of people of the widest range of tastes and pursuits. Supplements are frequently provided, aud no expense is spared to bring the highest order of artistic ability to bear upon the illustration ol the changeful phases of home and foreign history.

On a table in the church at the chancel steps were placed six Bibles, and near them a box and three dice. Six boys and six girls, solemnly watched ovc-r by the vicar, Rev. E. Tottenham, and a crowd of parishion- er s, threw dice each three times to see which should have the six Bibles. Three went to the hoys and three to the girls. Tlie highest throw was made by the smallest girl, 37. This remarkable custom dates from 1678, when Dr. Robert Wylde bequeathed $2,500. of which the yearly interest was to be spent in buying six Bibles, not to cost more than seven shillings and six pence each, to be cast for by dice on the communion table every year by six boys and six girls of the town. A piece of ground was bought with the money, and is now known as Bible Orchard. The legacy also provided for the payment of ten shillings each year to the vicar for preaching a sermon commending the ex cellency, perfection and divine authority of the holy Scriptures. The will of the eccentric doctor was exactly -obseived, and for more than two hundred years dice were regularly cast upon the com munion table. Lately a taole erected on the chancel steps was substituted, the bishop of the diocese having considered that the communion table was not for throwing dice.—Boston Transcript. Harper’s Bazar will continue to main tain its reputation as an unequalled family journal.

Among the attractions of the new volume wili be se- Gaivanizing Wooden Type. A recent French invention is reported of a process by which wooden type is galvanized as to the top of the letter only. It seems to be of a curious, rather than a specially valuable character, but by ap plication to large type, the process does it is claimed, result in the production of a strong ty pe only a trifle heavier than the naked wood. It is also claimed that the coating of copper which is applied to the letter has the effect of making it as strong as oue of type metal, and so serv ing to preserve the finest hnes—a diffi cult thing to do with the wood. The galvanizing process is simple, for the type is placed in the ordinary galvano- plastic bath, but it» not explained just how the operation » confined to the jj°P of the letter.—New York Mail and Ex press.
