Any mngnificout tomb is called a ,
mausoleum. MaUcolup , the Carinn king
whoso name it bqai-s , had nothing whatever -
ever to do with tbo original except to
lie in it when ho was dead. Tlio piety
of his wife , Artpmjsin. , gavo-his nnmo to

band's memory , because the monument

Butter is very rare in the Paraguayan
capital , because the peasants will not at
tend to their cows , lead thorn to good
pasture , and work-n churn , writes Theo
dore Child in Harper's Monthly. At
Asuncion wo have soon the COWP turned
out into the street to graze , whore there
is next to nothing to oat. At Villa C'on-
copcion the case is the same , wliorous if
tlio cows were led half a mile to the
edge of tlio town they would find abun
dant pasture and giv'o good milk. This
is only ouo instance out of a thousand.
Take , again , these old and young women
wo saw squatting in the market , with
little scraps of produce spread out before
thorn. Suppose they sell this for ten
cents , they have enough to buy mate ,
tobacco , mandloca. which are their
chief ailments , and thus they keep
the household going with the
help of oranges , that lie in many places
a foot deep on the ground. A caustio
observer hus said that the Paraguayan
peasant lives on mate and the smell of a
greased rag. TJiHtgronbod rag is an ex
aggeration. MiitOj mandloca , tubacco ,
sugar cane , orangey arid cana rum as a
luxury , such iirontho ordinary and ex
traordinary article's of consumption.
With poor food "t&ali as this , the men
are naturally wfjjlu' and indolent ; and
being at the same tipio the lords of crea
tion , they puss tlitHi ; lives in meditative
laziness , and luuv < ? the women to do
what little work'iisJ absolutely required
to keep a roof ovtif 'their ' heads. These
Paraguayan ? , pCfar and ignorant as
they may bo , aro'pfdud ' and susceptible ;
they never say VWAn' ' y ° u oxcapt "
formula of rofiibi4jit ; is useless to order
thorn about ; thoytuiust bo treated with
gentleness and iwptmusioii , as nquals , .
und oven then not ftluuh can bo got out
of them. So 1 wilS old by a dozen men
who have had vurMf , experience in the
country. The od.ucated Paraguayans
themselves admit this much , but , with
out notable di&auurovul ; u"d with an
impatient click of the tongue- against
the teeth , and much writhing and
shrugging of nock an/I shoulders , they
will protest against Americanism , progress -
gross , and doing things quickly , "It is
not in the character of thu nation , " they
will say. "It is in our nature to go on
slowly , qulotly , without etfort ; and for
tune comes to us almost while wo are
sleeping. "

interesting correspondence from Berlin
tolls how the students there drank a solemn
"Trauor-Snlamandor" in
emn - memory
of Count von Moltke to the solemn
"Elnz , zwol , drol'1 of the pastor of a
local church , who was master of coro-
Inqnics. , Customs differ. A minister of
the gospel la this country
would scarcely stand up nnd give
the word for a bcor-drlnking match
ntnong a lot of college students. Yet
Germany is n grout country and pro
duces great men. And , as has been
noted , hundreds of times before , and ns
is OUCH moro pointed out by your corro-
Hpondcnt , there is lew drunkenness in
Berlin than In Now Yorlc loss in Ger
many tlmn in thq United States. This
la something which should furnish what
is known as "food for thought" for temperance -
poranco reformers.

A Philadelphia shoo merchant says
that two years ago a man came into his
olllco in tlio last stages of alcoholic de
cline , apparently , and exhibited an
invention which would revolutionize
men's shoo fasteners and make a fortune
for some one. It was some sort of an
arrangement will oh closed nil the but
tons at once by the turn of an invisible
lever , and was as much an improvement
on the old methods as the lever skate is
upon the old-fashioned kind. That was
the lirst and the last the merchant over
HIIW of man or model , and ho is wonder
ing now if the inventor's secret wont
into a grave in potter's Hold. Ho can
not in the loist recall the manner of
working the fastening.

The way in which lawyers and courts
absorb estates is shown by the annihila
tion in six years of the properly left by
a well-to-do farmer of Ancora , N. .1.
Ho devised $12,000 to the purpose of dis
seminating Henry George literature and
$5,000 to his wife The stops now about
to bo taken in the legal proceedings are
for an order to show cause why the
executors should not pay $31K , all that is
left of the $12,000 to Ilonry George and
an application by the widow for 82'Jitho (
remains of her share , which will make
the sum she has had out of the $5,000
$2,087. All the rest has gone in law
ycrs' fees and court charges.
