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

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.

Writing from Canton, China, A corre

A Glass Mountain.
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.

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-<V
shades of green, prune, golden brown
and duck's breast blues. The materials
are camel's hair, cloth, cashmere and
toile dc sanglier a new fabric that
somewhat resembles bunting, yet baa a
rough surface and is made sufficient ly
heavy to serve f<>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

precisely like those worn by Rentlemen.
Many quaint shape* are represented in
the softest silk plusli in fur beavers,

Satin and velv t have taken the place of
plush, and rich, dark shades the place of
''combinations" to a considerable ex

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

raised velvet pile.
Feather ornnnientx combine many rich

Tlie broad Ixdt, with aumoniere at

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

The intense train upon .M Parian's

unrecognisable by his former self. In
tellectually, in experience, in thought,
motive and purpose, he has virtually
's en rerr' ated, and in the minds of those
watching this change in the man he has
become fixed as, in many respects, a re
markable person. Not .ill the wealth on
earth wou d indu M Parian to again
go through what he has. I believe he
regrets it. From the vast body of Irish
people he is virtually ostracized. "He

race. I respect hitn because I know him.

Singular and Alarming Accidents.
A great calamity has befallen the
Commune of Brusio (Switzerland) in
the (iriaons. At the close of a day of
intense beat, a waterspout burst over
the district; immense volumes of water
rushed down the precipitous sides of the
Pis di St. Kemigio, bringing with them
great ph-oes of risk and masses of earth,
the Sili-one overflowed it* banks, and all
the houses in Brusio. the church and
the presbytery were flooded. No lives
were lost, bat many buildings were much
dama&id. and the crops are entirely
j ruined.

and nearly had a fatal termination. I>r.

had on his back a load weighing seventy
pounds, made a false step and slipped,
j He then upon, against the desire of his
companions, untied the rope hy which
, they were attached, saying he might
slip again, and he was determined to en
danger no ot her life than his own. They
were then on a steep Ice slope. Shortly
afterward Obiter did slip again. awL

his feet, and, clearing the crevasse at a

was able to keep hta footing. He joined
the others lower down the mountain,
