And waddlos through the LotttT,,' to the country echool-mietreeo, the atr throatod miniaUr and tho poronnlal bride and groom. How to go is a popular question every season, and I purpose giving definite instruc tions that will enable four ladies, under cer tain conditions, to travel for nearly fivo months in England, Scotland, Franco, Belgium, Ger many, Switzerland and Italy, having everything t-rtdontial to comfort, and spending only six hundred dollars, exclusive of their steamer ticketi. Tho writer knows whoroof eho af firms, for tho was horeelf one of four ladios who mado the trip a year or two ago. Tour is tho best number, easily managed, easily accommodated iu one carriage, in two rooms; four divido tho expense nicely raoro make a "crowd" fewer are likely to bo lonely. It is well if one be a "inadarao," but if all aro slnglo, tho party should not be too youthful. Each lady must bo intelligent, good-natured, quick-witted and healthy. Somo of tho party should bo ablo to speak French and German, and to understand both these languages when spoken. Womon unaccustomed to travel, to human nature, to using money judiciously and to keeping an ac count of tho eamo, ought not to join in tho undertaking. When four suitablo persons aro agreed, it is best to map out a route, to study distances, dividing up tho timo to the places. Changes can be mado later; fore thought saves mnnov and rjreventa vexatious mistakes. ICoad a little ou art, architecture, ami what you expect to see or liistorical inter est lou't cram an excitod mind all at ouco witli that which you can learn in travel with keenor enjoyment. Now, tho out lit A etoamor-chair for each person, and two moderately largo trunks for tiie lour. Arriving in .Liverpool, you will leave your trunks there with your heavy wraps and everything carried merely lor steamor uso, Wear on the voyago a very warm dress. Leave it with your wraps, and start from Liverpool in a fresh traveling suit, plain, dark and hand somely lit tod. If you can get along with but ono heavy garmont, an Ulster is enough from May to October; in warm days it is easily strappotio-everything supernuous causes sin ful emotions. Shut up your bonnet from the dampness during tho voyage. Let it be neat. close, pretty, but not large or wild in style, or you will hato it later. Have soft, warm head- goar for deck wear. Carry in a small compass remedies for ordinary ailments for that par ticui.ir one to which you aro subject, it may bo neuralgia. You will have an attack forty miles from a drug-store if you do not take precautions. Now comes a test of com mon sense; but rest assured if you follow tho ad vice, hero given, you need never look travel- euuueu r uuuuj. out uiwuya can uu wuu di esHod. Let each lady buy a strong, good lookiug leather bag, such as is sold for about six to eight dollars. It has two compartments aud a sort of portfolio between. It holds all one need carry for tho trip, goes everywhere with one, aud costs next to nothing as luggage. It is always seized by tho omnipresent porter, who lifts it on and on cars or runs with it to carriages for a few pennies. Times without number one man has snatched up our four, stowed them under car-seats or over our heads, and been off helping bewildered tourists hunt lost trunks to nnd them after every good seat was taken. Our clean collars were admired and our ease-taking envied by many a worried countrywoman. Each of these four bags will hold four changos of underclothing (washing is done every where at short notice), one nice black silk dress (with few ruffles to be tumbled), and one etvlirth all-wool dress you start with a new dress, so these, beside tho one left for the steamer, will prove all-sufficient; slippers, an extra pair of walking shoes, pretty breakfast sacque, and all other small articles required. For the steamer you want a loose flannol wrap per to wear at night, and, if ill, in the day timaA light, canvas school-bag carried on tho arm is a hne catch-all. It holds guido-books, gossamer cape, and tag ends, which refuse to go in big bag as you journey, but for the sake of looks as well as convenience don't get four just alike. Have a light umbrella, as small as is reasonable. A Dade's Mishap. Cor. Albany Journal. The happiost efforts of stago performers to incite hilarity could not equal tho unintention al achievement of a young man, of the sor whom we have taken to calling "dude's," oa tho last night of the grand opera season In the Academy or inusio. 110 was exquisito as to tho sweet bang of his hair, ear-crowding hight of his collar, and especially the extreme f ashionableness of his raiment His thin overcoat was shown, as he Btrodo with haughty languor down the aisle, to bo in the approved degree shorter than the swallow-tail underneath. On reaching his seat, he stood and leisurely surveyed the im mense audience, as is tno custom or the dude before divesting himself of what he would have called his top coat. It was in this operation that he mado his impression, rorhaps it was tho light weight of a new spring garment that deceived him. Anyhow, he inadvertently took off the over coat and the undercoat together, folded them slowly and gracefully, and laid them over the back of his chair. The sight of the dandy in his shirt sleeves and vest (he would say waist coat) seemed to catch the eyes of everybody in the house instantly, and a gen eral triecle doonened ouioklv into unan imous haw-haws. So much of shirt bosom is exposed in the prevailing style of evenir dress that he naturally did not at once disco' V Or his undue exhibition of linen, and he waa seated before he was aware that he w'a8 the cause of all the noise. Then hia studied equanimity was for once destroyed. fa strug gling haste to pull his swallow -fc'd, ' coat ont of tho other, and to put it on, was. comical as the rest of his mishap. Don't He Afraid of. Work. Don't bo afraid of killing yourself with over work, son, is the facetious Way. The Borling toa Hawkeye has of counseling young men to thrift Men seldom work so hard as that on the Bunny side of thirty. They dio sometimes, but it is because they quit work at 0 p. m., and don't get home until 2 a. ra. It's tho intervals that kill, my son. The work givos you an ap petite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumber; it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. Thero rTe young men who do not work, my son young men who make a living by sucking the end of a pane, and who can tie a necktio in eleven different knots, and never lay a wrinkle in it; who can spend more money in a uay than you can earn in a month, son ; and who will go to the sheriff's to buy a postal card, and apply at the office of tho commissioners for a marriage license. So find out what you want to be and do, son, and take off your coat and make a success in the world. The busier you are, the less evil you will be apt to get into, "the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holiday and the better satisfied will the world be with you.

C'entni KLraree Concerning tne Pop ulation of the District r Colombia. Kew York Son. Tho latest census contains some interesting figuros concerning the population of that ano malous division of tho union, the District of Columbia. It says that the population of the district at the timo of tho enumeration 1880 was OC.02-1. Those are classified under four heads, tho majority of them being comprised under tho head of "professional and personal services." Of the 89,975 persons thus classi fied, 7,W6 aro civil officials anj lesser em ployes of the government They are baroly outnumbered by thoso enumerated as "labor, ers," but aro outnumbered In noarly' tho pro portion of two or threo by tho domostio ser vants, who constitute tho most numorous class in the district Tho cluster of officers and men of tho army and navy numbers 010, and is L'oO loss thau tho army of lawyers. There aro oS5 barbers, "0 preachers, 4'm doctors,and Hl'i private watchmen and detectives. The number of lobbyists is not stated. As they would properly come under the head of "pro fessional and personal," they aro probably among tho LOlY persons whse professional and iicrsonal services aie not furthtr cassifierl. ".Manufacturing, mechanical and mining" induat ics give employment to 15,.'i37 persons, whose occupation cover a wido range of pur suits. Tho'number of miners Is 12. Of tailors, "tailoresses," milliners, and dressmakers thore aro ,S27, while there are only " hat and cap makers. The industries that havo to do with the erection of buildings are tho most numerously represented. A solitary glass work operative is enumerated. Iu "trado and transportation" 9,843 persons aro employod. Thero aro nearly 3,000 clerks, salesmen, and accountants in stores. The "tradors and dealers" numbor 2107, the com mercial travelers, hucksters, and peddlors list, and tho bar-tenders 'J. VI not counting those who are enumerated elsewhere with the l,.r05 hotel and restaurant keepers and employes. Tho tolograph companies employ 161 persons. Only 1 ,401 persons are classified as being en gaged in agriculture, and of those 42 are com prised uuder the bead of gardenors, nursery men, and vine-growers. The numbor of farm ers is agricultural laborers 410, and "others in agriculture" 2SL I'robably thero is no other tract of equal size on the surface of tho earth in which so small a percentage of people is engaged in the produc tion of anything which has a market value. Illiteracy Xot u Source of Anarchism Chicago Herald. Thoro is a disposition in manyjquartcrs to charge the growth of anarchism aud other social heresies to illiteracy, and to suppose that a few years schooling for every child would render tho development of this kind of fanatics impossible. It has not a vestige of evidenco in its favor. It is of a piece with the philosophy which expects to put an end to crimo by a more general diffusion of auciout history and cube root The facta do not show it Tho convicts in our state prisons can nearly all road and write, and most of thorn havo been Sunday-school scholars. They have gone wrong in spite of these restraints. So it is with socialists, communists, nihilists and the like. So far from being an aggregato of evil mindod individuals, to whom schooling has been denied, we find them widely organizod into socioties, carrying on correspondence with distant countries, nrintintr in nno cnnntrv manifestos for circulation in others, and main taining mcir newspapers or magazines, in which the most difficult problems of gorern meut are tackled with a confidence which could bo admired if it did not result in such objectionable conclusions. o. These neonlo aro not socialists because they cannot read, write and ciphor. They aro people who can do all these things, and whose rnip.ds aro. indeed. in a state of ferment botwoea the fragments of knowledge which they roceive indirectly;from tho learned classes and tho pressure of unde sirable social conditions. Unquestionably these developments are symptoms of a very grave "blood-poisoning" in society, but tho fatal cause is not tost-book ignorance. Cholera Cure. Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. I had ono funny experionoo during the cholera epidemic. Thero was a man named Miller who kept a sort of hotol and saloon near tho old gas works. Ho was a rough sort of a follow, and his p:trons wero roustabouts and the roughest river clement One night I was summoned to attoud a patient at his house. I found the mau puttering from a violent at tack of cholera, and believed his case hope'oss. at regular half-hour intervals. I told the man Miller my fears, but cautionod him to give him his medicine regularly. I called the next morning and foviud the patient sitting up. Miller, in response to my inquiry as to wheth er ho had followed my instructions in regard to the medicine, said: 'No, I though the poor devil was a goner any way, and I did not think there was any use of wasting time' on him, so I mixed the whole dozen viowdors ud at once and gave them to him, aud d d if he diun't get uettor right away.' After that 1 was a firm believer in heavy doses as an effectual way of treaung cnoiera." AVouldn't flop Oat. The Cheyenne Sun tells a story about two men from somewhere who dropped ir.to a store in that city, and a conversation about electric lamps ensued.

Peddling Electricity in Paris. Scientific American. It is not uncommon to meet in our streets peddlers of keroseno going from house to house vending their illuminating fluid from a can. In Paris the electric stored light id carried about tho streets like kerosene here, and it is said to have become a favorite way of illuminating houses on social and official oc casions. The accumulators are carried in a vehicle, wliich is stationed in front of tho houso, and electric wires are conducted into the building through tho windows. Incandes cent lamps are placed in the ordinary candel abras, and the fitting of the most complex light is an affair of but a very short time. ' Inspired. JSespect and Confidence. Boston Globe.

In regard to the tompora ture iu the timbers, it is a curious fact that whilo a chopper would hardly ever think of building a firo near hie work to keep him warm, he frequently builds no to keep his axe warm. A oold, frost-filled axe-head has a positivo dislike for entoring wood that cau only bo pvorcomo by coax ing aud koeping the frost out of it The dexterity and procislon with which a first class choppor handles his axe are remarkable. Trees three feet in diameter are often cut en. tiro!y through and still retain their perpendic ular position until a broozo, or some alight shock topples them over. The two gaps ou either sido moot in a straight lino. To the uovico thero aro many etrange things within tho province of an axe. In clearing a piece of farm laud it is frequently a stipulation that the choppor shall "buckot his stumps to hold a pail of water; in other words, loavo a concave bowl on thoir tops to catch rainwater ami rot them. In the piuerios the ax is used for noarly cvory purpose for which a cutting tool is re quired. With it the choppor trims his "boot pack," cuts lacings thongs, "buckets," horse aud cattle feed-boxos, pins up his sheds, shan ties and out-houses, constructs his bobs, and "go-duvils," and ev on whittles his tooth-picks. Ho gutters chips for drinking cups, fixes to bacco for hia pipo, throws flying bridgos ovor wiuter streams, whittles out tho oheckors for his evcainc's amusement and carves tho checker board. In a word, it is a part and parc-dl of himself, and its song is the music of to tug ear. After leaving the pineries tho axe has a long ramble to a .uow life upon tho Pacific elope. In California,, on tho coast range, it enters tho famous redwoods, and then indeod another existence is fo und. In fact its position in so ciety is elevateit 1 hose noolo trees, tno uo- liaths of tho f oreet, aN fast disappeariug. But thoir gigant Jc stumps still remain to tell of their depart- bd greatness. And enormous stumps thoy tru Jy aro. So much so, indeed, that the axe hf a to climb in tho world to overcome them, and tho chopper assumos a position which 1 10 is not compelled to attempt anywhere else.

Tho size of thi .redwood giants is if world-famous, and it is A legend of tho coast that a woodsman ha.9' chopped tor a week on one side of a trrnii'lr around it and found another chopiTvlui had worked for a month on the other side. .Hngo they are, but beautiful wood to chon. falrl' v lurintc the inquisitive blade to tho mysterie '3 of untolu centuries wrapped up in their red hearts ; and the death-bellow of the forest colo ssus, as, in his final agony, he plunges down some dark, wooded canon, crushing all before him, may be heard reverberating in dull thunt1er through the cloaked hills at all seasons of the year. But it is not until the cypress swan ips of the southland are reached that the axe takes to water. Ba those dark-shadowed and mess draped lagoona the chopper becomes r.mphib ious,and performs his work whale skilfully bal anced iu one of the most treacherous of all aoquatic contrivances.ia dug-ouvt Shoula' any one think there is no science required to chop from a dug-out lot tho ekeptie, try it A per son, not an inexpert hand wiWi an axe, 1A't a novice at swinging, one, whilo teetering in a canoe, did so, and mourned. Once on ths Bayots Teeche he paddled up to a big t.tee, whoso great, bulbous stem reached far un der water, and fastening his dug-out to the tio victim, seized his axa and boldly stood erect in tho prow. Balancing himself for a mon.out. until a true equilibrium was attained, h e swung back his axe and made a bold strok o at tho tree. Tho dug-out attempted a somer. tault in stantly. It shot out of water at the stern; the cutter ehot under water at the bow; and, whero tho axe w( mt is a mystery to this day. Tho eou.th has a world of wealth in tho cypress, ana' it has been comparatively lightly drawn upon. It is a soft, fino-grained wood, very freo from knots and blemishes, and easily worked. Without question the most easily manipulated wood in tho world is tho sott, smooth, glossy-gr. lined mahogany pino of California, the famous red wood. Its grain is so straight and bo dolic.ito ly woven that, to use a chopper's expression, "it splits if you shaka an axe it" Of the axe in the oak lands of the south west, where it labors for France and Spain, sending them annually thousands! of dollars' worth of Btaves, and also of its desultory ex istence in cordwood, chopping -grubbing," charcoal-stacking, hoop-pole-cuttlii;, and kin dred, industries, little need be said, save that it does its share of the work honestly, and has a settled policy that no man shall hold inter course with it with his coat on. This defer ence it exacta from all with whom it enters into business relations, whether among tho ice locked lakes and rivers of tho white pine, the laurel-scented canons of the coast range, or the magnolia-haunted lagoons of the mournful, moss-draped cypress. Thoro is no healthier, cleaner and more enjoyable exercise in the world than Bwinging an axo. In handling one noarly every muscle or tho body is brought into active play. In fact the axo is "a whole gymnasium in itself. A torpid liver, dyspeptic stomach or malaria-haunted system it seizes upon merci lessly, chops out the trouble, mangles it, hurls it. away, and fills the laudable vacancy with the appetite of a wolf and the digestion of an ostrich. As a mental, moral and religious in structor it occupies an exalted position. In the first placo it instructs whero there is plenty of elbow-room and fresh air, and while the eye and hand are occupied, the mind, prompted and reinforced from a body well attuned to healthy exercise, finds new fields of meditation and cogitation in which to ramble, investigate improve itself and invent And as a healthy body generates a healthy brain, tho latter re turns the courtesy by supplying the former with honest physical desires. Thero is hardly another physical labor affording tho independ ence of the axeman. Iu timbered lauds ho ia always in domand, and his workshop is from ocean to ocean and from Hudson Bay to tho Gulf. In the woods thero is always room for pood choppers, and an axeman need never be idle from September to Aprit Why They tike Their L.ejrislators. Texas Si f tings. Among the legislators who assemble at Aus tin, thore are quite a number of as intelligent and excellent gentlemen as can be scared up anywhero in tho Uuitod States, but the major ity of them are somewhat like Confederate bonds below par. Tho sentiment of the Austinites on this subject may be illustrated from the following little story: "An old peas ant on the seashore was telling his visitor how peasant it was. 'But,' asked his friend, slap ping his face with his handkerchief, 'don t youhave a great nianv mosquitoes and sand dies' Ya-as,' said the man, "but then we sorter liko 'em.' 'How can that be?' 'Wa-aL you see, they don't stay all the time and we feel so kinder good when they go away.' ,v aien or tne Times. Texas Sif tings. A little Austin bootblack picked up a very short eigar stump, and.holding it up.'romarked to a companion : "You can see by that cigar stump that the members of tho legislature have done loft Aus tin and gone home." "What do you mean?" T mean you can tell thoy havo left because the cigar stumps have got shorter. AVhen them legislators was here the stumps was twice ad long. They didn't havo to pay nufiin for ci gars, so they throwed 'em away half smoked." A Bank Aoto From a I'nlnUnjr.
