Prospect of War in Europe. /
One does not have to be in Europe
very long to discover that, with two ex
ceptions, the European nations are in a
state of constant perturbation. Poor
little England seeks to hide her terror
under a thin disguise of braggadocio,
yet it is clear that she is painfully aware
that she is likely to be wiped out ctf the
geography of Europe at any time. In
America we hear constantly of "the
power," "the power," "the awful power,"
of Germany, yet here in Germany the
people live in constant fear of the French.
The real jywers in Europe now are
France and Russia; the English, the
Germans, the Austrians and the Italians
know this, and they tire sweating blood
all the time. Russia is bound to have a
fight once in so often and Franee has a
number of old scores to pay off. The
great European war will not come, how
ever, until France says the word; she is
going to be prepared before she ventures ,
into battle again. It occurs to me that
Europe has soon to deal with a foe more
terrible than war; the cholera, is nearing
her confines. England claims that with
her system of quarantine_she hasnoth
ing to fear from cholera.—Engi

A Lawyer's Mrtliori of A<!v? ting. ;
Among the Lancaster lawyers attend
ing the sittings of the supreme court is
Henry Clay Brubaker. When Druhnkcr
was a much younger man lie p::; Weed
law in Indiana. On one occasion he met
the late Vice President Hendricks at the
dinner table of a mutual friend in the
town of Cambridge. Turning to the,
young Pennsylvanian, the idol of the 1
Hoosier Democrats spoke of his own ear- 1
tier days in the K -ystone state, and then j
volunteered this friendly advice:
"Young man. as you sire just starting 1
in the practice of the law. let me give i
you a word of warning. Never write any i
client a letter of advice. Let all consul- ;
tations and communications of that kind j
be by word of month."
It will be remembered that the late j
Simon Cameron put this idea in another j
form when he said: "Rather go a hun- j
dred miles to see a man than to write
him a letter. "—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Uepors in India.
An incident which occurred in Bom
bay last week shows the urgent necessity
of legislation on the leper question. Six
lepers were found begging in the munici
pal market. Four escaped, but two were
arrested and brought before the magis
trate. They were in such a state that
the natives would not approach them,
and they were not taken into court, but
were placed under a tree outside, while
the magistrate conducted the trial from
the veranda. The magistrate held that
he could not compel them to go to a
leper asylum, and sentenced them to
one day's imprisonment.—Pall Mall Ga

Ilcmarltable Vital Statistics.
The little town of Beverly, O., on the
Muskingum river, furnishes some re
markable vital statistics which, when
generally known, may stlirt immigration
in that direction.' During 18SD the popu
lation of the place was estimated at 000,
and within that period there were only
eight deaths, the oldest of those dying
being 96 and the youngest 58. There I
has not been the death of a child in the j
village since Sept. 6, 18S8. In 1S83 there !
was only one death. The population at
that time was 800.—Cor. New York

The Indians tire all very mysterious

They tire sullen and dissatisfied, and the

Caro of Asparagus.
A knife should never he employed in
gathering asparagus. Break off the
stems as far below the ground as they
will snap readily. In this way no in
jury will be done to ot her buds and the
entire stem cm be used for cooking. In
climut..; where sharp frosts are likely to
come during the asparagus season it is
well to have r. ii;; lc coarse litter between
the lows to hastily draw over the tender
shoots, when the temperature drops. The
gathering of the product after the bed is
in full bearing should be complete.
Never allow spindling shoots to grow,
but keep the plantation clean of sprouts
until the season is over. It is a safe rule
to close the asparagus season with the
advent of early peas. I have h;ul shoots

A Shower of Ant*.
A .peculiar sight was witnessed on
Main street, Ansonia. recently. It was
what might he styled a shower of ants,
and lasted nearly two hours. The air
was completely filled with the insects.
They seemed to come out of the ground.
At one time near the postofiiee they is
sued forth in a stream five inches wide.
As soon ;is they reached the pavement
they would take to their wings. They
came out along the street for 100 yards,
and after circling around in the air
started in a body down the street. They
evidently had midair combats, as the
street was full of dead and injured and
the wings of other unfortunates. What
caused this immigration from the build
ings is unaccounted for.—Derby (Conn.)

Cutting Mixed Gras*.
Common red clover ripens before timo
thy, and where they grow together yon
must comprise the time or take an aver
age. The clover should be cut just as
most of the heads are beginning to pass
out of blossom, which will be about the
time that the seeds in the heads of timo
thy are mostly forming but not ripening.
It is, however, better to be a little too
early with the timothy than too late with
clover. Assume days must elapse be
tween the first and the last cutting, some
judgment must be exercised to reach a fair
average of time.—Country Gentleman.

A Confuse::! of Sop-s.
A superfluity of So'i. s he a cans;- ! the
postrarstor general and Representative
Ray, of Pcr yivaniti, a great deal of
trouble. There has been a heated con
test over the post office at McKeesport,
Pa., and a dozen or more candidates.
The congressman to wuom the matter
was ref erred declined to make any rec
ommendation, but telegraphed to some
of the leading citizens in whom he had
confidence asking which of the several
candidates they preferred. The answer
was short and decisive, and it read: "We
want Soles."
The congressman had that morning re
ceived an application fur the office from
Edwin Soles, hacked by letters testifying
to his good character and capacity, and
supposing him to be the Soles wanted,
informed the postmaster general, and the
nomination was sent in.
Then there was a row. The whole of
McKeesport almost, including the men
who wanted Soles, commenced to bom
bard the department with protests. It
was not Edwin Soles, but Elmer Soles,
his uncle, that they wanted. His papers,
which were very strong and voluminous,
had been on file in the department for
several months when his nephew Edwin,
a bright tmd ambitious young man,
thinking there was no chance of the
uncle getting the appointment, thought
*he would go in for it, and sent down his
application.
When the facts were discovered the
nomination of Edwin was withdrawn
and Elmer named in his place.—Cor.

Huil In California Tliri-e Inches Deep.
F. J. Baldwin, a farmer, who lives
three miles east of Belotta, reports that
a heavy hail storm visited that section
Saturday afternoon, coming from the
south and moving northeasterly into
Calaveras county. The storm com
menced at about 3 o'clock and lasted one
a::d a half hours, when three inches of
hail was lying on the ground. The storm,
which vac apparently three or four miles
wide, was attended by heavy thunder
and lightning. There seemed to be a
continual peculiar heavy rumbling in the
clouds that could easily be heard in the
intervals between roars of thunder. Old
settlers say they never saw anything like
the storm in this state. Cattle ran be
fore the storm seeking shelter, hut be
came bewildered and ran wildly about
until they were tired out, when they laid
down and submitted to the pelting. The
storm extended into Amador county, and
all along the course the hail was as large
as small marbles.—Stockton Indepen

Lilac* and Handcuff*.
The other day, as a royal train of Penn
sylvania parlor cxirs pulled out of the
Jersey City depot, a gentlemanly man
carrying a huge bunch of lilacs made his
way from tho rear of the train to the
foremost ear—the smoker. Pressing al
most upon his heels was a rather rough
looking fellow making the same journey.
It happened that as I raised my eyes I
saw behind that bunch of lilacs a pair of
shining steel handcuffs connecting the
gentlemanly man's wrists, it would be
interesting to know whether it was the
convict's idea or that of his keejier to
put flowers to that strange use. But to
my mind there was something very
poetic about it.—Julian Ralph.
