On loard the Pacific mail steamer Australia is a rather venerable China man called John Tuck, who is nearly blind and does only light work. Many years ago one of the company's ships was taking a cargo of gold from California to llong Kong. A fire broke out, the Chinese sailors were demoralized, and this man controlled them. It was owing to him that the crew did not seize everything for a . piratical expedition. The company would not part with John Tuck after that. It is said that the Prince of Monte negro, who, some time ago, closed all the cafes and drinking shops in his domain, regarding them as schools of effeminacy, extravagance and corrup tion, and abolished all titles, so that while formerly every other man in Montenegro was an "excellency," now even the ministers have to be content with plain " Mr.," has recently issued an interdict against all " luxurious wearing apparel," including cravats, gloves, walking-sticks, parasols and umbrellas.

Statistics of business, records of bankrupt courts, the experience of merchants and manufacturers, all go to prove this proposition. The abject poverty and real suffering which ex ist in large cities and towns are large ly out of proportion to the population as compared with the rural districts. The will of George Harstow, of San Francisco, disposing of an estate valu ed at SBO,OOO. was filed for probate recently. In it he says: Having observed that ostentation and expen* sive funerals are injurious to the peo ple, often absorbing money which poverty can't well spare to vanity and pride, therefore, byway of example for which I beg pardon of the under takers, let my coffin be a plain red wood box, put together with plain nails or screws, without paint or varnish and plain iron handles, and all else about the funeral to correspond with this plainness. Let there be a cheap shroud and no flowers. What is a dead man but a handfuj of dust? Instead of a hearse I may just as well he carried to the grave upon some ordinary vehicle in every-day use, since life is but a journey and the day of death the final rest." Dr. P. P. Deherain maintains that the electric light contains rays hurtful to vegetation, but these, he says, can be held back by transparent glass. The light itself, he finds, contains enough of the rays useful to vegetation to maintain the life of plants two months and a half; but the quantity of favor able ravs is too small to bring crops to a condition of maturity.

A tack is a simple, unpretending sort of a young nail, noted for its keen repartee when pressed for a reply, and possessing the peculiar power, when standing on its head, of causing the cold shivers to run down the back in mere anticipation of what might be. Tacks are in season all tho year round, but (he early spring is usually the time selected by them for a grand combined effort, and then they flourish every where for at least a month. Sineo tho inauguration of the time-honored cere monies of house-cleaning, every thor ough house-keeper with long experi ence in the line of duty, so takes up the carpet :us to retain all the tacks in their original places, thus preventing it slip ping from the shaker's hands, unless the tack breaks or his linger gives out. Hut the triumph of the tack is not complete at this early stage ; it pa tiently abides its time, and on the relay ing of the carpet issues forth with double force. After searching tho en tire house for a paper of tacks, without success, the unfortunate man drops on his knees to begin, and immediately discovers four tacks at least, and as ho rolls over and and over and finally sits down to extract these, finds the rest of the paper directly under him, and then, unless ho is accustomed to put up stoves and join stovepipes, the chances of laying the carpet are on that even ing are slight. In selecting tacks from a saucer ho always inspects the points with his forefinger, as the tack in stantly loses its head when they come to blows. In argument the tack is sharp and pointed; but the display of either or both depends largely on the amount of pressure employed by its opponent. In direct contrast ton good joke, the amusement generally begins before you see the point, and this fact is easily demonstrated by walking the iloor in your stocking feet, a well kept room on such an occasion averaging two tacks to the square foot. The fu ture of the tack gives great promise of more extended usefulness and un limited possibilities, as several of our most eminent college professors have carefully studied the effect of a sharp tack of reasonable length placed prop erly in a chair or under a cot, are about to introduce tacks and do away with spring-boards in our college gymna siums. How Japanese Restore Faded Flowers. After a bouquet Is drooping beyond all remedies of fresh water the Japa nese can bring it back to all its tirst glory by a very simple and seemingly most destructive operation. A recent visitor to Japan says: "I had received some days ago a de lightful bundle of flowers frym a Jap anese acquaintance. They continued to live in all their beauty for nearly two weeks, when at last they faded. Just as I was about to have them thrown away the . same gentleman (Japanese gentleman) came to see me. I showed him the faded flowers, and told him that, though lasting a long time, they had now become useless. 'Oh, no,' said he, 'only put the ends of the stems into the tire, and they will be Jis good as before.' I was incredu lous; so he took then, himself and held the stems in the lire until they were charred. This was in the morning; at evening they were again looking fresh and vigorous, and have continued so for another week. What may bo the true agent in this reviving process I am unable to determine fully; whether it be the heat driving once more the last juices into every leaflet and vein, or whether it be the bountiful supply of carbon furnished by the charring. I am inclined, however, to the latter cause, as the full efleet was not pro duced until some eight hours after ward, and as it seems that if the heat was the principal agent, it must have been much sooner followed bv visible changes." How to Foretell Weather. When the temperature falls sudden ly there is a storm forming south of you. When the temperature rises sudden ly there is a storm forming north of you. The wind always Mows from a re gion of fair weather toward a region where storm is forming. Cirrus elouds always move from a region where a storm is in progress toward a region of fair weather. Cumulus elouds always move from a region where a storm is forming. Where cirrus clouds are moving rap idly from the north or northeast there will ho rain inside of twenty-lour hours, no matter how cold it is. When cirrus clouds are moving rap idly from the south or southeast there will he a cold hailstorm on the morrow if it he in the summer, and if it he in winter there will he a snowstorm. The wind always hlows in a circle around a storm, and when it hlows from the north, the heaviest rain is east of you; if it hlows from the south the heaviest rain is west of you; if it hlows from the east the heaviest rain is south. The wind never hlows unless rain or snow is falling within one thousand miles of you. Whenever heavy, white frost occurs a storm is forming within one thou sand miles northwest of you.

Accordingly his wifo ojiened th° book at the word named, and real: derm Theory of Disrosi—a theory advanced by the ablest and beet Investigators and scientists of the times. It supposes tho surface of tho e irt h. the air an 1 water to be inhabited to a gr< at or orle-s extent with a peculiar growth of the lowest form of l'ungi- c >mmonly termed bacteria, whose pow, r of reproduction, un hr .favorable conditions, is so groat that a single germ will increase to fifteen million in twenty-four hours'time, and unchecked in its increase would grow to a mass of eight hundred tons in three days' time, if spaceaud food be fund-died. There is no condition under which it can b > said to l>o als-nt, un less it bo from lire or a r filtered through cotton tatting in numerous layers. A single drop of water containing a germ, ] ut into water boiled, filtered and thus freed from liacterin, will grow murky in a day or two from the doveh -pm >nt of now germs. W hen it is considerM that it requires about forty billion to weigh one grain, some remote i lea can lie had of the caj acity of germ repro duction. l'rofessor John Tynd&il, in a lute work, elaborately treats of the influence of germs in the propagation of dist-a e and charges ujou this cause, the inception and "development of very many of the ailments most injurious to man. 1 rofeesor I'astcur, an eminent French savant, has carried his original and beautiful exjieriinents so fur, aiel from them de lucod such practical results us very grvatly to diminish the number of cures of uuihruK among sheep and chicken cholera utnong fowls,—pro. mg his theory that these are essentially and actually germ diseases. These germs are carried into the system through the lungs, the stomach ami possibly tho skin, but through tho lungs chielly. Once in the sy-tom, they begin to develop, poisoning the blood, invading tlio nerve centers, disturbing tho functional activity of the great organs of the bixly and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes. I'hey nre the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bright'* disease of the kidneys, j >llOlllllOlllll, blood lois'.niug, liver disease, diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately l'rol'e sor Koch, a uinious < .'erman physician, has proved ti at consum; tion of tho lungs is due to this cause—the presence of a peculiar germ. When the circulation is bounding, the nerves clust.c and the system all aglow with life and energy, tho germs st em to develop 4>oorly, if at ail. But with weakened nerves, pocrdige Lioimr mul assimilation of loodora lowering of vitality from an\ cause, a change endues, and in this impoverished and weaken ed lluid the germ find', a gonial home and develops until symptoms of distase are dis tinctly manifest w ever, a preparation hnsbeen attracting great attention, not only throughout the entire land, but among the medical profession and -cienti ts generally, which is ba-ed upon this theory, ami it may safely be said, nc remedy has ever beenfoui d which can so successfully place tho .-.ystem iu a condition to resist the germs of disease as Warner's Safe Cun.
