A CHOCOLATE ('ITT. ■ ■Ornllm !>,tnll of a Model Krrnrh VUloilf. When tin* son ol the great chocolate manufacturer, Menier, was married in Paris the other day. the workmen of the Menier establishment sent pillow of roses ae their bridal gift, which wiu an improvement upon the custom which sends pillows and cushions "f flowers only to funerals lu re. Hut the Menier workmen have good reasons for the graceful tribute. Their employer lias not strewn their path witli roses, hut he lias shown, on a large scale, how pros perity and comfort and good-feeling among his workmen are as much the foundation of a flourishing manufactur ing village as its tons of exported goods. The Menier chocolate, although the best in Europe, is not a whit betti r than our own Philadelphia Wliiteman's, if as good. Hut the factories at Noisiel make a townof themselves on tlie banks of the Marne, and their active proprietor is one of the powers of France, a repre sentative manufacturer of the solid nun who supply for the republic 'what the great hankers used to do for the empire, confidence, and when needed, the sinews of war. The best test of the security ol tin- French republic is found in this ad hesion of merchants and manufactur ers, the hourgcoise, as it was onec the fashion to call them under the monarchy, and who used to lie solidly Bourbon and Orlcanist. Tlte details of this fragrant nianuftic- 1 ture, the huge hydraulic engines on the M arne, tlie amount of water-power, the sugar, cacao nut and packing boxes re- 1 quired—this last a business ol itself— i with the busy women at work on the | dainty envelopes of tin foil and yellow papeis, although of much interest, might ; be In other shape, and, instead of the , chocolate city, this might he an iron city, or glass, or cotton, equally on the | same good basis as that ot Noisiel. The town of Saltaire, in England, at the 1 famous works of Sir Titus Salt, probably approaches it in thrifty detail, and then are American manufacturers who lend themselves to many plans for the com fort and improvement of their men. Hut j Noisiel s*-cms to be a pattern and to pos sess in itself all the modern improve- | nients. The cottages are close to the works, each with its four rooms, its Sood cellar apd a garden, and tor which te rent is twenty-four dollars a year. I Flowers, fruit ana vegetables are culti- i vah-d in these blooming gardens, and, 1 although the women are largely employ ed in the factory, there are arrangements, as will be presently seen, for lightening the household cares. The eenools at Noisiel are maintained at M. Menier'* expense, and they are graded from the infant school, where the children go at the age of three years, to a day nursery for the still younger ones, who are taken care of in their tiny cots in tidy, cozy rooms on the one hand, and the upper schools, when the boy* and girls are taught to the nge of fourteen. The branches are those of a gooO French i education, with needlework, singing, bookkeeping and drawing. All this is oondocted st M. Menier's expense sad without a sou's cost to the married em •ployoes. So that one great difficulty of manufacturing towns.where the mothers have to lie busy all clay and their chil dren left to themselves (and the matches) scs-ms to he very squarely met nt Noisiel, in the Kcole Oarditnnc. From the f>n> ics of a year to the time the boy or girl is ready to go into the factory, it i* under care or instruction, and this last (its these children to find good positions cither at Noisiel or elsewhere. There is a library also belonging to the operatives, and a savings hank, which they are encouraged to patronize. Hip the most striking feature of the place, after schools, are the co-operative store's. There* are no store-orders, it appears, at Noisiel, of the sort that are so hateful and oppiessive to workmen in this coun try, although the Meniers are in position to make as good profit out of these as any Northern manufacturer or Southern planter here. Tin- workmen at Noisiel are their own shopkeepers; they got the profits anei the benefits of the low prices of the wholesale supplies. Meat, gro ceries and other articles of daily domes tic need are sold at low prices and good quality, the membership of the associa tion lieine entirrly made up of theohooo* late workmen, the thrifty ones who get the benefit of their savings in a double sens*'. We have given some space to this little French Arcadia, beoau.se it seems to hod the solution of many vexed question*. It is the pleasure of this wealtny manufac turer to furnish schools, libraries and xpod living homes for his men. and to we them we'll into eo-njierativo societies like the savings bank and the* stores, but the- workmen themselves, in this coun try of better wages, might, w'tli a little forethought, have the same sort of shops, and especially the same kind of day nursery establishments, so that all the little cliilifrcntoo young for school would be sure of warmth, care and comfort while their mothers went out at work. Noisiel i*. in fact, an answer to a sum we*ll worth working out, for isith mill owners anei operatives. Philadelphia Ledger. Increase in Lunary. Dr. Lush, tie -eside'nt of the British Medico - Psychological A*.*oointion. in the course ef an address de*livcr*d to the members, drew attention to a marked increase of late years in lunacy. In the first report of the commissioners on lunacy they state* that in June, lßffl. there were in England and Wales 23,000 persons of unsound mind. The popula tion was then aiieiut 17,000,000, now it is 25,000.000, and it i*estimated that e>n the first of January, 1879, there rere 70,823 pe*rse>ns in England anei Wal a who need ed the protection of the lunacy iaws. It appears, therefore, that while* the popu lation lias increased at the rate of forty five per cent., the number of lunatics in detentiein lias risen at the rnte of 250 per cent. Assuming that anothi-r thirty three years will yield similar results, aceomnieHiation will have to be provi led In IWI4I lor ne-arly a quarter of n million of insane or imbecile persons in England and Wale*. The true solution of the difficulty, lie thought, is to Is* sought— -Ist. In Increased family responsibility. 2d. In educating the popular lielief in the gravity of the disease itself. 3d. In further State interference if possible. 4tli. In increased efforts to make the lot of insane persons under detention as lit tle irksome as is consistent with safety and the conditions of their malady. Be yond these he feared not murli can ho acme or hoped for; less ought not to be required; and if, instead, a callous in difference continues to prevail as to tlie extent ol insanity, grave nnd calamitous results, to be discovered only when too late to be repaired, must follow a neglect of the accepted teachings of medical science aud experience. Mental Effort* of Physical Injuries. Dr. Henry Maudaley, in a paper before tin* Royal Institute, England, said: Many instructive examples of tiie per vading mental effects of physical injury of the brain might be quoted, but two or tbree, recently recorded, will suffice. An American medical man was called one day to ace a youth, agci| eighteen, who had been atruck down inaenaihlc by a kick of a horse. There wiih a dcprcaacd fracture of the skull a little above the left temple. The akull wax trephined, and the loose fragments of hone that pressed upon the bruin wore removed, whereupon the patient came to hiaaenaea. The doctor thought it a good opportunity to make an experiment, a* there was a hole in the skull through which he could cosily make pressure upon the brain, ill asked the ImV a question, and before there wn* time to answer it he pressed tirmly with his linger upon the exposed brain. As long as the pressure was kept up the liny was mute, hut the in stant it was removed lie made a reply, never suspecting that he had not an swered at once. Thcexpcriim nt was re peated several times with precisely the same result, the hoy's thoughts being stopped and started again on each occa sion us easily and certainly as the engi neer stops and starts Ids locomotive. On another occasion the same doctor was called to see a groom who had been kicked on the head by a mare railed Dolly, and whom he found quite insen sible. Tlioro was a fracture of the skuil, with depression of bone at the upper part of the forehead. As soon as the portion ot bone which was pressing upon the brain was removed the patient called out with great energy, '* \N hoa, Dolly!" and then stared about him in b'ank am axemen t, asking: " Where is tht mare? Wli *re am I?" Three hours had passed since the accident, during which the words which lie wils just going to utter when it happened had remained locked up, as they might have been locked up in the phonograph, to lie let go the moment the obstructing pressure was removed. The patient did not r*>- meniber, when he came to himself, that the innre had kicked him : the i:u,t tiling before lie was insensible which lie did remember was, that she wheeled her heels round and laid bock her ears vic iously.

Another marvel recently brought to light in the Yellowstone Park of North America is nothing less than a mountain of obsidian or volcanic gins*. Near the foot of Reaver lake, a tand of explorers eame upon this remarkable mountain, which risen at that place in columnar cliffs and rounded bosses to many hun dreds of feet in altitude, from hissing hot springs at the margin of the lake. As it was desirable to pass that way, the party lind to out out a road through the steep glassy barricade. This they effected by making huge fires on the glass to thoroughly iieat and expand it. and then dashing the cold water of the lake against the Tieated surface, so as to suddenly cool and break it up by shrink age. Large fragments were in this way detached from the solid side of the mountain, then broken up small by sledge hammers and picks, not, how ever, without severe faoeration* of the hands and fai-en of the men from flying splinters. In the Grand Cemon of the Glhhon river the explorers also found preeipiees of yellow, block and banded olmldian hundreds of fret high. The natural glass of those loealilies lias from time Immemorial been use,l by the In dians to tip their spears and arrows. FOB TIIE f'AIU MUX. I'Mlllfllt I n< t*. Tlie dolman shrunk in itH dimensions during the summer to those of a cape or fichu. With the autumn they have en larged to those of a medium sized man tle, but tlie cut is still close, tlie outline follow those of the figure, and then? is every evidence of an intention to retain the simple and artistic style of modeling which fin* been steadily gaining ground for tlie past ten years. Every variety of plaited skirt worn during tlio summer is tiuylc in fall ami winter dresses. The favorite style for tall figures has three side-plaited flounces covering tlie front breadths horizontally, while that liked by shorter ladies has the rcligictur. plaiting extending straight from belt to foot down the front and sides. Few skirts arc plaited all around in kilt fashion, yet very few are seen without being plaited somewhere. The d*q> square Itonuui apron covering the front and sides, and the back flni-hed by two, throe or four pluitings, will re main in favor. Clusters of plaits for bordering skirts will he greuted us'*!. When contrast ing materials for the trimming, dusters of plaits of the gay trimming will alter nate with others of the plain materia) chosen for the dress. Wide or narrow !mx plaits, according to fancy, will also is* used. Talis and revere of striped satin, like tlie trimming so popular dur ing tlie summer, are repeated on new French costumes. The woolen dresses for early fall wear are in dark cloth colors in the re-r warm winter dresses. The fashionable corduroy is simply a new soft variety of ribbed velveteen, which is almost equal to velvet in its effect. It is very well adapted for trim ming upon woolen materials, nx it is not costly, and looks and wears well. The new colors and brocaded patterns in American silks introduced for the fall and winter season are perfect, both in style and finish. Tlie new designs in figures will be "taking," and the colors are clear, rich and lull. These brocade silks wilt he very popular for overdresses and the various draping*, combined witii plain silk matching in shade, the exact tint being found in American siiks. Tlie favorite Carmen iionnet is shown witii greater breadth in the back. The rolled orim (Knglisb turban) promises to remain in favor, and pretty round liatx, with tha front square ana droop ing, have t'dth the sides and backs turned up. Tlie jaunty Derby lints are precisely like those worn by Rentlemen. Many quaint shape* are represented in the softest silk plusli in fur beavers, with pile nn inch long and in smooth French felt.

Satin and velv t have taken the place of plush, and rich, dark shades the place of ''combinations" to a considerable ex tent. A striking feature is the quantity of lace upon MftU and flint, and the profusion of elegant feather* and bailor trimmings, including crown* made en tireiy of small feathers. Tiger velvet is a novelty ued for trimming bonn< t. It has a satin ground with irregularly shaped spot*, in long raised velvet pile.

Tlie most stylish of these acces sories have tlie |>o]t and bag both made in the dress material. New nylcs in lingerie have the collars and cuffs made of solid colored gingham embroidered with white in the turned over corners. One of the prettiest orna nu n's for black lionnets is a set of large faceted jet button* used for studding tlie riblxin trimming at intervals. New brooches are of riveted jet and steel or gold, and many long jet daggers are worn. Roman sashes are again worn, forming large loops at the waist. The ultra-fashionable style of sashes are composed of broad satin ribbon in a solid color of the shade of the dress, or its prevailing tint. These nre tied at the onck of I lie waist in a bow. with two very long flat ends, reselling quite two thirds the length of tlie dress. The I'arisian fancy of trimming long street basques is to place six large buttons on each ol the side seams, tlie button itself bring of pearl, enamel, or porcelain, de corated with a horse's head. Little lionwshoi's are also seen on buttons, but a more refined style to be adopted here is tlie use of polished steel buttons witii a very small horseshoe or a clover leaf set in cut steel. —AVte York llmild H#wi *•! .ttHci for IVomrn* France lias 1.H00.000 marriageable daughters.

It will re quire no effort on the part of the reader to call to mind the Bender family, who for several years kept a human slaughter house in the shape of a little hostcjrie on a lonely Kansas paid, aix.ut sixty mi! from fort Scott.
