A recent meeting of the Woman'l Foreign

AUSTRALIA AS A HEALTH RESORT.
Except for those who may havo wealthy
1 rienda living in the interior in a favorable
locality, Australia hai been practically found
not to be a auitable place for invalids. Any
one who has made acquaintance with a buih
hotel would bo slow to recommend it as a resi
dence, even to a man in health, and would cer
tainly advise an invalid to avoid it. 1 he most
eminent physician in Mclbourna haa recently
stated that out of hundreds wi h weak lungs
who had consulted him during a period of
twenty-flve years, not one of them who had
remained on the coast had materially im
proved, j
QUEEN VICTORIA.
Queen Victoria ia evidently the mother-in-law
of the story and the play. The Crown
Trinco of Germany seldom if ever visits her,
became they don't "get along." Trinccss Al
exandria, only by her swectnese of temper
maneges to keep affairs tolerable. Tho Duch
ess of Edinburgh, the late Czar's daughter,
had a row with her about precedence in leas
than a week after ber arrival in England, and
the Marquis of Lome waa snubbed out of hia
boots and led a dog's life until he escaped to
Canada to get away from it. Her dissolution
of her son-in-law, the Grand Duke Louis' mes
alliance with the Russian woman and ber com
pelling him to fulfill hia contract with ber
daughter Beatrice, Is further proof that she ia
-lothcr-inlaw whom it won't do far a man to
fool with. t
TUB FUST OF FLLBS.
An Iowa lady writes to an exchange: "For
. three years I have lived in town, and during
that time my sitting-room has been free from
. flies, three only walking about my breakfaat
: table, while all my neighbors rooms are crowd
' ed. I often congratulate myself on my escape,
. but never knew the reason of it until a few
' days ago. I then had occasion to remove my
tooils to another house., while I remained on
tor a few days longer. Among other thinga
removed were the boxes of geraniums and cat
' . eolarias, which stood in my window, boing
open to its full extent, top and bottom. 1 he
boxes were not gone half an hour when my
room waa aa full of flies as those of my noigh-
bors around me. This, to me, was a new dis
covery, and perhaps it may aorve to encourage
others in that which ia always a source of
pleasure, namely, window gardening. Mig
nonette, planted in long, shallow boxes, placed
on the window sill, will be found excellent for
this purpose."
' TOIIACCO AS A SPEUULATITB MEDIUM.
Does anybody know that tobacco is one of
the groatest speculative mediums? Probably
fow ontBide of the trade know that any little
' manufacturer of cigars runs a chance of strik
ing a lead that followed up ends in a fortune
to remarkably short period. It is in thia
- wiso : Every maker la on the hunt all the time
4 -. for a leaf that has either In flavor, color,
rtrenglh, or some other pint 4n Individual
identity among the rest In the bale. Having
found it-and It la no eeay task to do ao-ht
orks it no inte cigars, and under as good and
catching a nam as hit fancy wills, put them
on the market If the dear public find the
' Whttever-ita-name-ii brand to ita liking, why
' ' generally the bit is a 'great one, and the happy
manufacturer can't turn the brand out fast
. nongh. Carping cynics might say It doesn't
Blatter at this state whether the eriglnal brand
W tobacco is used or not the name sells the
j E'gw. True enough ; and every trade hai it
iecrets, and tui one locked in the bosems of
manufacturers, from whence wUd horses could
not tear It A ebap in Davennort waa luck,
enough to fickle the popular paiat with his
brand, made up with that speculative inten
tion. He cleared a very comfortable fortwie
in a few months. A Chicago firm since then
haa risen into competency from next to noth
ing in tb same way. In fact, the whole busi
ness is full of Instances of sudden rises into
wealth. The present largest manufacturers in
this country of cigarettes which, by the way,
are not selling so enormously began business
six or seven years ago in a most humble way
and are millionaires to-day. The chief owner
of the biggest factory in the world down Id
Virginia, was a struggling peddler halt a di
