THE HOP HARVEST: DRYING THE HOP,


HOP-DRYING.
In connection with all the hop-grounds of Kent are what are
called ‘‘ oast-houses Bea re that is to say, where the hops,
after being picked, are dried and packed ready for the market.
They consist of a long barnlike building, with an upper floor
and several kilns—the round, extinguisher-looking constructions
shown among our Illustrations. The hops, after being picked
into the hop-bin, are measured by “tally-men” (a picker
receiving a shilling for six or y 2 bushels) and put into sacks.
These sacks are then carted off to the oasthouse. Arrived
there, they are emptied out on to the upper floor of the kiln,
till this is covered about a foot deep. his floor, generally
some 20 ft. across, consists of laths or battens, with openings
between. It is covered with a rough haircloth or sacking,
through which the hot air coming below finds a free
pesage. The fires (of which there are generally three to a
iln) are then lighted below, and thekiln is x an { The hops
remain subj to the current of hot air for eleven or twelve
hours, vs occasionally turned over to ensure their equal

of killing any insects and giving to the hops a good
right colour. There seems to be a good deal of skil or expe-
rience required for this drying, and the dryer is an important

opening in the floor, and stamping the hops down. Now, how-
ever, the man is superseded by a press, the round slab of wood

of hops, and, being filled, is sewn up, and is then ready to be
sent to the railway station, and so to market.
THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.
The Civil Service Commissioners, in their eighteenth report
recently issued, state that the number of nominations
which they had to deal between July 1, 1872, and Dec. 31,
1873, was 5331, out of which 59 were cancelled, 335 were
clined, and 440 had not been disposed of at the last-mentioned
date. The remainder, 4497, may be divided as follows -—
Nominees unsuccessful in limited competitions, 107 ; rejections
on age, 122; on health, 48; on character, 77; on knowledge
and ability, 419 ; certificates granted, 3724. Under the same
head (the Commissioners say) must be mentioned those exami-
nations in which, though the method of open competition has
been pursued, it has been adopted not under the fifth clause of
your Majesty’s order, but independently of it, at the request of
the head of the department concerned. The most important of
these in point of numbers are the competitions by which out of
an aggregate of 4337 candidates, 1636 ms have been
selected, during the period under review, for employment in
the department of the Postmaster-General—81 as boy clerks,
1479 as boy sorters and telegraph messengers, and 76 as letter-
carriers, labourers, &c. 'Twoopen competitions were also held,
at the request of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, for
student interpreterships in the consular service, at which eight
candidates were selected for appointment, the total number of
applicants having been 88. The number of open competitive
examinations held during the eighteen months, the Gmmia.
sioners state, has been 28. There were 540 vacancies, and 3693
applicants were admitted to compete after having passed a pre-
imi test examination. The total number of applicants
was considerably larger. Under the 7th clause of the Order
in Council, which empowers the Commissioners, subject to cer-
tain conditions, to dispense wholly or partially with examina-
tions, 175 certificates were granted during the eighteen months.
With respect to army entrance examinations the Commis-
sioners observe :—
At the date of our last report no examinations had yet
taken place under the regulations whereby first appointments
in your Majesty's regiments of cavalry and den were
thrown open to public competition. From that time to the end
of last year two such examinations were held—viz., in May and
August, 1873—at which the aggregate number of competitors
was 536, of appointments 154. In addition to these, two ex-
aminations were held of lieutenants of militia who, having been
recommended for commissions by their respective commandin
officers, were submitted to a qualifying test only, and out o
76 who presented themselves 30 were reported as qualified.
During the same period 518 candidates were competitively
examined on four different occasions, for admission
Royal Military Academy, out of whom 161 were selected ; and
in the early part of 1873 a competition was held, under the con-
ditions described in our last report, for the appointment of sub-
assistant commissary in the Control department, at which 242
candidates offered themselves for 24 vacancies. The total
number of candidates examined by us during this period in
connection with the military services, including 46 who were
tested under a former scheme for commissions in the Household
Brigade, amounted to 1418.
On the examinations for the Civil Service of India the Com-
missioners report as follows :—
At the open competition, held in April, 1873, for the Civil
Service of India 204 candidates were examined, out of whom
35 were selected. The final examination of candidates selected
in 1871 took place in Mayand June. Thirty-six candidates
this examination, and were appointed to the Civil
rvice, including two belonging to the previous year, who,
having been prevented by illness from attending the examina-
tion in 1872, were permitted by the bepesaey fe tate in Council
to present themselves in 1873. One candidate failed to obtain
our certificate of qualification, and consequently lost his
appointment. Two open competitions were held in July, 1872,
and July, 1873, for ission to the Indian Civil Engineering
College at Cooper's Hill. On each occasion 50 candidates were
selected out of a total of 174 competitors examined in 1872 and
153 in 1873. Two examinations were held in November, 1872,
and November, 1873, for appointments in the India Forest
Service. At the first, out of atotal of 31 competitors, 4 can-
didates were selected for training in France and 4 for training
in Germany. At the second two appointments only were
offered, and the total number of tes examined was 18.
The total number of candidates examined by us during the
period under review in connection with the Indian services is
643, which, being added to the numbers already stated with
reference to the other services, civil and military, makes up an
aggregate of 25,322.
A museum of smallarms has been opened at Birmingham.

TH. E ILLUSTRATED LONDON
EN PROMENADE.
If ever there were a Paradise for country cousins,
brilliant decorations, crowds of Londoners (always
desideratum — there is nothing the country cousin
much as another country cousin), with showy music,
haps just the slightest suspicion of fastness, it is Covent
Garden, when it thrown off the solemn state (and high
prices) of the opera season, and opens itself to the promenading
public at a shilling a head.
On his first evening in London the young clerk or trades-
man from a small country town presses round delighted in the
crowd of Frenchmen, Germans (if it be a classical
blasé cockneys, and pretty girls —for to the country
cousin are not all London girls pretty ?—and stares in be-
wildered admiration at the lofty orchestra (where smiles
, y Mr. Levy, bearing his cornet and his decorations
with a majestic serenity it isgood to witness), at the long bar
presided over by stalwart beauties, at the huge blocks of
Gemninn 5) at the little tables and foreign waiters—‘‘ quite
tinental,” as he remarks—and, above all, at those wonderful
icturesque little grottoes (in the chaste and refined style of the
rand Monarque), where bathe and sport, unwearied,
Were he nothimself one of the most noticeable factors in
the dense miscellaneous crowd—too dense almost for real
in “‘promenading,” as, perhaps, it is too miscellaneous for
description— he could not fail to notice in how various
ways these hundreds of people, all nominally a
by the music, devote themselves to the enjoyment of
eir evening. He and his fellow-countrymen probably
think it ‘‘the thing” to pay no attention whatever to the
music, but prowl round and round perpetually—surely making

monplace ballad is sung—not very well, it must be confessed
—by some gushing favourite of the ordinary promenade-concert-
goer.
How different from either of these is the Frenchman—the
conventional short Frenchman, with moustache and imperial

with unwaxed moustache and close curling beard! His object
is simply to enjoy himself, and he does a snapping

woht. undisguised astonishment of all British ‘‘ swells” within
This unrestrained public enjoyment of the Frenchman,
German, Italian—even of the Irishman and the canny Scot—
is curiously different to our English quiet, silent way of taking
ae: at a race, a modern country fair (so soon to be extinct
as the dodo), an election even, our excitement, if as strong, is
nothing like so palpable as that of men of other nations in cor-
responding circumstances ; even our street arabs, with their
comic songs and frequent ‘‘break-downs,” have not the
exuberant, delighted pantomime and cheery laugh of the little
Italians about the streets dancing comically to hideous bag-
pipes. As one ascends higher in society this ws more
noticeable—at a ‘‘swell” public school even the boys
at their athletic sports seem almost ashamed sometimes
to give a earty cheer. Why this should be
so it is difficult to say; it is, perhaps, partly due
to real modesty—though the most modest men are certainly not
always the most reticent in the public expression of their
opinions — partly to the very opposite of modesty, self-
consciousness, and tly, no doubt, to the yarren st f high
to the admiration felt both by themselves and by people of lower
social position for that entirely unique class known as allies
tlemen, who may be described as more nearly ap i statements of every historian, but should compare different
eanimore oe fine but purely ideal creation, stately
chivalrous Indian, than any other race of men in the
world—including, most decidedly, the real Ojibbeway. It is
‘* bad form ” to be raised to enthusiasm pe rae symphony,
or play—‘“‘a gentleman doesn’t gush” would seem to be our
golden rule, the first and greatest of our commandments : a rule
which must make all our theatres, concerts, public meetings of
any kind seem tame and dull to the foreigner ; a commandment
which, indeed, probably operates against our own enjoyment of
them, and in defence of which we can think of but one argu-
ment—isn’t it better than the other extreme?
Perhaps the three classes we have mentioned — country
cousins, musical enthusiasts, and Frenchmen eagerly seeking
substitute for the cafés chantants of Paris the well-beloved—
may be said collectively to form the mass of the ordinary
frequenters of the Promenade Concerts ; but there are
individual ordi frequenters—people whose faces one might
see there some three or four times in the week, dropping in
sometimes for half an hour only (generally about the beginning
of the second part—the opéra-bouffe selection), sometimes in
and out the whole evening ; individuals of that very considerable
young men with nothing to do in the evening—which has
formed the chief support of promenade concerts ever since first
*‘ misfortune floored the management, and Jullien floored the
pit”—and provided, we may remark, music and an orchestra of
infinitely lower quality than Messrs. Gatti have this year given
us. So large, indeed, is this class of Londoners at a loss how
to spend their Mee that ere long these promenade concerts
may be continued at Covent Garden, or elsewhere, throughout
the entire year. It would be no small boon to have always
a place into which one might stroll for an hour or so with no
trouble, at no great expense, where one could see the whole of
some performance—not the fag-end of a farce or the middle of
a melodrama—where, above al , there is every night something
different, some music popular and pretty yet generally of a
decently high class and decently performed, which one is not
condemned to enjoy squeezed in between two stout old ladies,
ym unable to move from one’s eighteen inches of
rd leather twice in the evening, but to which one can listen
walking about freely, taking one’s pleasure ‘‘sadly, after the
Eaglish fashion,” according toF roissart, yet easily, comfortably,

THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON SELF-CULTURE.
gay with In opening the autumnal session of the Exeter Working Men’s
a great Association, on Monday, the Bishop of Exeter said self-culture
hates so depended very much upon the degree in which they were able
and per- to understand each other, and the world in which God placed
them. The cultivation of the mind turned upon that, and
therefore everything which tended to bring their minds into
contact with other minds—whether it were study, conversa-
tion, or honest effort to understand other people and live with
them—had a real power in the cultivation of their intellects.
The subject was an exceedingly broad one, and therefore he
night), would confine himself to those methods of self-culture which
were to be worked through study. He wished still further to
limit himself. In pursuing studies two persons might have two
very different objects in view—one, because it might be useful to
him inhis occupation of life, andavery laudable motive that was ;
the other, because he wanted to make himself more of a man—
to improve that which constituted the difference between a man
and the beasts of the field, which marked his dominion over the
rest of God’s creation—viz., his understanding, his intellectual

self-culture. What was the ke rw of all that was to be
done? The indispensable condition of success was time.
ing never really did the work which study was intended
to do ; on the contrary, as it was simply to remember some-
ing for a very short time and then to cast it all out again
(work which the mind was not intended to do), the thing, if
done on a large scale, was certain to do much more harm than
The attempt to learn things too quickly met them con-
stantlyin life. In his own experience, as Bishop of the diocese,
he constantly met with it. A man who passed an examination
for clerical orders after three years’ study was worth ten times
as much as one who had, perhaps, acquired his knowledge in as
many months, although both might have passed an equally good
examination. The knowledge in the former case was part of
the furniture of the mind, and would remain so for life, and
the man was the stronger for having acquired it and better able
to pursue his studies in future; whereas in the other case it
— filled the memory for the time, and the man would
soon fall far short of what was required of him. Experience
showed that knowledge acquired in a hurry was of very little
use and was ey worthless. Working men did not
lose so much by the fact that they had to spend so much of
their time in daily work. Study for one hour a day, if regu-
If they had toclimb
slowly the progress would be sure, and the slowness was a real
advantage. Perseverance was essential to all success in study.
a course of self-culture would spoil all by stopping, and render
what they had done worse than useless. As to the choice of a
a com- study, his Lordship pointed out that that was most likely to be
usefulto a man for which he had a natural aptitude, which
seemed easiest to him. Some men had no special aptitude, but
yet they made a mark in the world, being blessed with a good
roportion of common sense. If a man had any natural aptitude
or a special branch of study he would soon Tanome it. If he
had none, then he recommended him to determine his choice
by the associations of his daily life. Let him select some kind
of study which bore on the business in which he was engaged—
a gardener, botany ; a blacksmith, metals; railway engine-
driver, mechanics, and soon. The studies which generally did
most for a man in the way of culture—which gave him most
command over his understanding, which enabled him most
thoroughly to know himself—were those which brought him in
contact withthe thoughts and feelings of other men. God had
so ordained it that, in proportion as men’s minds came into
contact with one another, in that proportion they were culti-
vated ; and so it was that, among all studies, one of the most
cultivating was the study of languages and the great works of
literature. Those who knew nothing of any other language
than their own could hardly conceive the difference it made in
a man’s way of looking at a thing if he only once began
to understand how it was expressed in another tongue. he
necessity for passing the same thing through different
modes of thinking had &@ wonderful effect on the mind.
But if the study of languages and literature ranked highest in
cultivating power, they ought, to be thorough, to be commenced
early in life. A man who took up a language in late years
might acquire considerable proficiency, but he rarely attained
to anything like delicacy in it. The mind seemed after a time
to get stiff—to lack the ae Next to languages
came the study of history. If history was studied carefully,
with the purpose not only of storing the memory, but to trace
the sequence of cause and effect in the life of nations, it was a
really elevating study. But there were dangers to be avoided.
The student must be careful not to accept to the letter the
writers, to test their accuracy and to form an independent judg-
ment. The most conscientious historian was sure to give a
colouring to his writings, and some eminent men had even con-
descended to omission and misrepresentation. Next to the
study of men his Lordship ranked the study of things—
mathematics and the natural sciences. With regard to the
latter, he observed that to men of mature years this study
would have considerable power in refining and cultivating the
intellect. If a man had any right feeling in him, they would
constantly draw his thoughts up towards the Creator, leading him
to contemplate the beauty and order which reigned throughout
His works. They often found that the men who had given
themselves to these studies wrote most beautifully, and that
a
the beauty of their writing was entirely due to the fact that
they were so thoroughly impressed with the beauty aad order
also observed in creation. They contemplated nature until it took
ion of their imaginations, and they could not fail to
Jeecribe it in language which not only appealed to the under-
standing, but often also to the heart. A great teacher of
science in himself often something of the poet. There was
perpetual poetry attending the study of natural science from
beginning to end. In conclusion, his Lordship warned his
hearers against a fault which beset all who tried to cultivate
themselves—that of vanity, the temptation to overrate their
attainments.

 OOT. 3, 1874 THE
SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.
During the past month a meeting of the Iron and Steel Insti-
tute has been held at Barrow, at which several interesting
papers were read, But, asarule, the discussions were better
than the papers, and many valuable suggestions were thrown
out in them which we believe are yet destined to produce
valuable fruit. Foremost among these were the tions of
Mr. Edward Williams, manager of the firm of Bolckow,
Vaughan, and Co., who stated that there is a manifest waste
of fuel and of labour in first running molten iron from the
blast-furnace into pigs and subsequently re-melting these p
for the use of the Bessemer converter, when it would
possible to ran the metal from the blast-furnace into the con-
verter direct. To this it was objected by one speaker that it
is necessary that the metal introduced into the converter should
have a certain composition, which could only be ensured by
testing and assorting the cold pigs. But it was replied to this
objection that the kind of iron produced by any blast-furnace
can be determined by the nature of the slag ; that more or less
carbon is immaterial to the Bessemer process, as that only
implies more or less blowing ; and that although if there be
very little silicon present the metal will blow cold, yet that
this can easily be adjusted by letting out the molten metal
into a reservoir, to which a little iron rich in silicon can be
added if the quantity naturally present in the iron is deficient.
Mr. Williams made two other suggestions in regard to the
rolling of rails which are highly important. The one is that
rails may be rolled ina hoop like tires and thereafter beopened
out, which will save crosp ends. The other is that rails may
be rolled in a mill on the principle of a Wilde’s bloomer, in
which the bar has to pass through a succession of short rollers
laced one behind the other, and so will come out complete.
he first of these ideas is, so far as we are aware, quite original.
The second we have ourselves before propounded, and we think
it the better device of the two. j lately announced) will furnish about 200 plates, and will appear
We have on several occasions referred to the growing belief
in the parasitical character of most diseases, and in a recent
aper in Virchows Archiv Dr. Lukomsky recounts the results of
ia experiments showing the parasitical character of erysipelas.
It was found that fluids holding spores of fungi in suspension
produce violent phlegmonous inflammation when injected into
the subcutaneous tissue, but that the contents of erysipelatous
vesicles free from fungi, injected subcutaneously, do not usually
produce any morbid phenomena. These experiments afford
evidence of the close connection between erysipelatous inflam-
mation and the development of the lower organisms, or, in
other words, go to prove that erysipelas is a parasitical disease.
A favourable report has been made to the Academy of
Medicine in France upon M. Chervin’s system for curing stam-
mering, which he regards as a sort of St. Vitus’s dance of the
muscles of respiration and phonation. To remedy this, he
advises slow and measured exercise of the respiratory muscles,
and he also drills the unruly movements of the tongue and lips
into the required obedience to the will by systematic exercise.
In the last number of the Philosophical Magazine there is a
note by Mr. C. Horner stating that certain colouring substances
derived from woods which do not exhibit fluorescence when
dissolved in water or alcohol become highly fluorescent when
immersed in castor oil. Turmeric in castor oil gives an emerald-
green fluorescent light at least three times as vivid as that
obtained when it is immersed in other fluids.
The rumoured probability of a war between China and Japan
has thrown a temporary damp upon the project of a polytechnic
exhibition at Shanghai ; but, as the latest advices show that war
is not likely to occur, public attention is being again directed to
the undertaking. It will be useful, therefore, to repeat that the
main purpose of the exhibition is to bring before the eyes of the
Chinese the most useful productions of art and science now ex-
isting among Western nations ; and, as China has a population
oul to that of all the other civilised nations of the world put
together, and is still an untilled field so far as the absorption
of Kuropean manufactures is concerned, it may fairly be ex-
pected that the ——— exhibition will bring to the most
meritorious of the exhibitors important commercial advantages.
The British Consul at Shanghai is the chairman of the local
committee, which numbers some of the most influential
residents, both native and Kuropean.
A correspondent of the Gardener’s Chronicle condemns the
sensational notices of ‘‘ carnivorous plants,” as they are called,
which have appeared in some of the newspapers. Those plants,
he says, have no stomachs ; and he disbelieves in the digestion
and assimilation of the captured flies in the manner stated.
Messrs. John Bourne and Co., of London, have published a
pamphlet descriptive of their compound engines for driving
factories and mills, illustrated by a large engraving. They say
that, in cheapness and in equability of motion, this engine is
superior to any other; and it appears that, in a number of
cases, this species of engine has been substituted for engines of
the common type, with the result of saving half the fuel.
Dr. Milne states that he has examined a great number of
samples of soda-water, lemonade, and other aerated beverages
made in Glasgow, and that he has found lead present in them
all, in some cases to the extent of half a grain to the gallon.
A letter was lately read at the French Academy of Sciences
on a remarkable toxic action exerted at a distance by the
Colchicum autumnale at the period of flowering. The hand,
when held near the anthers ofthe flowers, changes to a livid,
greenish yellow colour ; but the natural colour is restored in a
few seconds after the hand is removed. The action is probably
produced by an exhalation from the flower.
A late number of the Garden gives an engraving of a stoneless
plum, the Prunus tenerrima. This species of plum is at present
of little value except for ornament or for preserving. But
probably its quality could be improved by skilful cultivation.
Lecompte has proposed to utilise the power of the tides
to bore the proposed tunnel between France and England, the
power of the tides being employed to compress air to work the
boring-machines. Itis only in special situations, however, that
this power could be economically employed, as its adoption
implies the use of great reservoirs with a narrow opening, in
which wouldbe set the machines on which the tidal waters
would have to act.
Vanilla has latterly been adulterated by intermixture with
a species of wild vanilla which has poisonous properties. It is
to be hoped that the natural vanilla will soon be superseded by
the artiticial kind made from the bark of fir-trees.
Prussia has been selling a number of her old firearms to
Persia, as well as to China and Japan. In point of fact, how-
ever, firearms of all kinds, if of an antiquated character, are a
bad purchase for any Power to make; and the same remark
applies to antiquated armourclads, which, if penetrable by
shot, are more dangerous to the occupants than if they had no
armour upon them. If armour is thick enough to keep out
shot it has an obvious utility. But if it is penetrable, then the
persons on board have not merely to encounter the shot, but
also the shower of destructive — which the penetration
of the shot produces. Henceforth there will only be two
classes of war-vessels discharging missiles through the air—the
one swift, unarmoured vessels with heavy guns ; and the other
armourclads, with sides so thick as to be impenetrable.

Various have been made for the removal and re-
erectionof Temple Bar. Some would have it set up in the
Temple Gardens, others would place it in Guildhall-yard, and
several far less reasonable suggestions have been made. It is
evident it cannot remain where it is, even if its dangerous con-
dition did not preclude its retention. The facade of the New
Law Courts wil be at a distance of some feet from the north
side of the Bar, and the houses thence eastward to Chancery-
lane will probably be set back so as to coincide with the align-
ment of theLaw Courts front. To symmetrically fill the space,
therefore, Temple Bar would have to be re-erected in the centre
of the widened thoroughfare. If so re-erected, however, it
would be the same serious obstruction to the traffic which it
has long become. The case here is different from that of the
statue of Queen Anne before St. Paul’s, to which we adverted
last week, for the latter causes no public inconvenience.
Temple Bar re-erected elsewhere would lose the historical
association which it derives from its present situation,
and neither architecturally nor structurally considered
does it deserve tion. The Corporation of London
doubtless some ancient rights at the site of the present
teway which they not unnaturally wish to maintain. Gates,
owever, or anything in the nature of a bar, could never be of
any practical use, and would certainly interfere more or less
with the traffic. Some of the Law Courts designs indicated a
solution of the difficulty by throwing an arch completely across
the street where the Bar now stands, which, without forming
an impediment, would preserve the associations of the ancient
City boundaries.
Mr. Bruckmann, of Henrietta-street, has forwarded to us
specimens of the new series of pho hs from works by the

pictures, cartoons, and other designs are many of them of im-
portant and striking character, and well calculated to increase
our admiration of and astonishment at the force and fertility
of the great designer's imagination, and his rare technical
wer. The collection will comprise examples of the master
rom his fifteenth year till his death, and so supply materials
for estimating every phase of his art. Several of the photo-
graphs are from cartoons the theme of which is “‘The Deluge” —
compositions of many figures, depicting with startlingly bold
conception the struggle for life, hope, apathy, or despair, and
the contrasts of unfettered passions in the expiring world.

The monument to John Bunyan in the Nonconformist
burial-ground, Bunhill-fields, which was erected by public sub-
scription, and inaugurated so late as 1862, by the Earl of
Shalhesbury, has been sadly neglected, and already requires
extensive renovation. Parts of the recumbent figure of Bunyan
are crumbling away, three parts of the nose having already
disappeared. The two bas-reliefs on the tomb have been
injured in a way that will scarcely be credited. From one of
the figures the nose, upper lip, and chin have been deliberately
chipped away, evidently quite recently ; and the nose of the
other has been similarly mutilated.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have, under the powers
of the City Improvements Act, decreed the removal of an-
other of the City churches—ti:at of St. Dionis Backchurch,
Fenchurch-street. This church, which was originally built in
1288, and was burned down in the Great Fire of 1666, and
rebuilt from designs by Sir Christopher Wren, in 1681, con-
tains many objects of interest, amongst others a very ancient
monument to the memory of Sir Arthur Ingham, with the cos-
tume painted in colours, and another to that of Sir Thomas Raw-
linson, the famous antiquary and bibliopolist. In the vestry of
the church are preserved four large two-handled brass syringes,
which were at one time the only machines used in London for
the extinction of fires. The monuments and mural tablets
will be removed to the Church of Allhallows, Lombard-street.

The new Artisans’ Institute, about to be established in
London, for the promotion of general and technical knowledge,
is deservedly receiving great and generous encouragement. The
object of the institute is most praiseworthy. Similar organisa-
tions exist in France and other countries, and in many depart-
ments of art-workmanship the foreign workman has the van-
tage of having means of education not within the reach of the
English artisan. Competition is now becoming so keen in all
directions that we must give our workman every facility, or he

We present in our Illustration the scene which constitutes the
dénouement of the new play at the Olympic, adapted to the
English stage by Mr. John Oxenford, from the French of MM.
Dennery and Cormon, and entitled ‘‘The Two Orphans.” The
pervading interest of thesplay lies in the efforts made to restere
the lost sisters to each other. Baffled continually, just at the
moment when the wished-for event seems nigh at hand, the
play at the last culminates in the desired situation. The scene
is La Frochard’s garret, where the two sisters, Louise
(Miss Fowler) and Henriette (Miss Ernstone) meet, only
to fall into fresh danger from the brute instincts of
Jacques (Mr. W. Rignold) and the infamous La Fouchard
(Mrs. Huntley), and for awhile their case would appear
to be hopeless —for what can the poor cripple, Pierre
(Mr. H. Neville), do in their behalf? Love, however, has
inspired the poor, feeble youth with sudden energy equal to the
peril, and he dares to oppose, weakas he is, his strong and
presumptuous brother, and, in doing so, slays his burly anta-
onist, Heaven justifies the fratricide, for the sake of the
mnocent whom it preserves and the motive by which it is
prompted. Of realistic dramas this is one of the best; and
admirably is it acted by the Olympic company throughout. In

JAPANESE ESCORT OFFICERS.
The amazing pe oid of social and political changes in the
insular empire of Eastern Asia during the last ten or twenty
years has been repeatedly observed. To the reader who desires
to know all about it we commend a volume which Mr. Murray
has lately published by the name of ‘‘ New Japan.” In this
book Mr. Samuel Mossman presents an abundant collection
of statistical and personal anecdotes, extracts from official
reports, and other authentic documents, illustrative of ‘‘the
remarkable progress of the Japanese in Western civilisation.”
The series begins with the Dutch factory at Nagasaki, as it
existed in 1853, when the American expedition, under Com-
modore Perry, entered the bay of Jeddo. The Russian
negotiations of 1855, those of the British and French Govern-
ments in 1858, the opening of the ports to our commerce,
the disturbances and outrages from 1860 to 1863, followed
by our bombardment of Kagosima and of the Simono-
saki forts, are successively related. The author next relates
the internal revolutions of Japan since 1865, and the conflict
of factions among the feudal princes and Daimios or nobles ;
the election of Stots-Bashi to the office of Siogoon (formerly
written Tycoon) with the chief actual ruling power ; the acces-
sion of the young Mikado, whose name is Mut-shto, to the
supreme imperial sovereignty, the powers of which had long been
kept in abeyance ; the overthrow of the Siogoon by a combina-
tion of hostile Daimios, and their subsequent repression, leaving
the Mikado in 1868 sole Monarch of Japan. In the last six or
seven chapters he describes the various reforms that have been
introduced by the Mikado’s Government, down to the return of
Iwakura’s diplomatic mission from its visit to Europe and
America about atwelvemonth ago. Many of the incidents here
narrated were, at the time, made subjects of Illustrations con-
tributed to our Journal by Mr. Wirgman, the resident Artist at
Yokohama ; and Mr. Simpson, also, on his way home from the
Emperor of China’s wedding at Pekin, made a few sketches in
Japan, which our readers have not forgotten. The costume and
features therefore of such figures as those represented in one of
our Engravings this week may seem tolerably familiar ; but we
cannot tell how long these fashions of attire, for the officers of
a native escort in Japan, will be likely to meet the traveller’s
i Everything there is threatened with change, even to the
shaving a bride’s eyebrows and the blackening of her teeth.
The appointment of Major-General Sir A. H. Horsford as
military secretaryto the Duke of Cambridge, in the room of
Lieut.-General Sir James Lindsay, deceased, has been gazetted.
It is officially announced that a competitive examination of
candidates for first appointments to the cavalry and infantry
will take place at the University of London, on Dec. 7 and
following days, the first day being devoted to the inspection of
the candidates by a board of medical officers. There will be
140 appointments in the cavalry and infantry of the
line, and twelve commissions in West India regiments to
be competed for. Twenty-four commissions will be offered
for competition by University candidates. As provided
for in the Royal Warrant of April 2, 1874, and the
Secretary of State’s instructions thereon, a certain number
of the successful candidates will be gazetted to regiments in
India, and undergo their course of military instruction in that
country, prior to promotion to the rank of lieutenant. A
further number will be gazetted to sub-lieutenantcies on a
general list and will be required to join the Royal Military
College on Feb, 11, 1875, and on completion of their course of
instruction will be posted to regiments in which vacancies may
at the time exist. The remainder will be required to join the
Royal Military College as students on Feb. 11, 1875, and will
be gazetted to sub-lieutenantcies as vacancies occur. The
English authors who will form part of the examination are as
follow :—Chaucer, prologue to the ‘‘Canterbury Tales ;”
Shakspeare, ‘‘Julius Cmsar;” Bacon, ‘‘ Advancement of
Learning ;” “‘ Johnson’s Lives,” Pope and Swift ; Scott, ‘‘ Rob
Roy ;” Cowper, “The Task.” The examination in English
history will be limited to the period a.p. 1714 to a.p. 1775.—
An examination will shortly be held for the admission of a small
number of assistant clerks into the Royal Navy.

 330 THE
THE VINTAGE IN FRANCE.
We know the manner in which thousands of poor people from
London go down into the Weald of Surrey, Kent, and Sussex,
in the month of September, to get temporary employment in
hop-picking. So likewise, in saglinaten for the vintage of rural
France, may be yearly witnessed a miscellaneous gath of
men, women, and children, whose mustering-place is no farther
distant than the small town of Argenteuil. They troop into
the open square near the church, late on the eve of the great
hiring-day, and there mostly lie down, in the open air, to such
repose as they can obtain pillowed on their bundles of simple
baggage. Many of them seem, from their dress, to be peasantry
of remote districts, who have travelled several days’ journey to
this place, and who have yet a long way to for two or
three weeks’ work and wages. It isto be hoped they will be
enabled
to take home with them, at the end of the season,
enough to provide some little comforts for the winter. An
Illustration of the vintage which we gave a fortnight ago was
accompanied by a few particulars of their mode of work and
life in the vineyards of the sunny south.
POISONOUS MUSHROOMS.
An inquest was held in Coalharbour-lane, Brixton, last Satur-
day, before Mr. William Carter, the district Coroner, on the
bodies of Mrs. Henry Eggbrecht, of Watkyn-terrace, and of
her infant child, both of whom, there can be little reasonable
doubt, were poisoned by some deleterious fungus mistaken for
a mushroom. It seems, according to the evidence adduced,
that a basket of so-called mushrooms was for the use
of Mr. Eggbrecht’s family, and handed over to the cook, who
stewed them secundum artem, and duly served them up for
supper. In the course of the meal it was noticed that the dish
had a pe flavour than usual. Suspicion was aroused, and
the remainder of the ragout was condemned to be thrown
away. Unfortunately, the mischief had been done before the
fatal error was discovered. In two days Mrs. brecht died,
with all the symptoms of fungoid poisoning ;while her infant
child breathed its last shortly after the meal. It is a law of
nature that both in man and in the lower animals a poison
taken by the nursing mother is at once conveyed to the off-
spring ;and the fact that the unhappy infant was the first to
experience the terrible effects of the dish is the strongest proof
that the subsequent death of the mother was due to the cause
to which the verdict of the Coroner’s jury attributed it. If
corroboration is needed, it is to be found in the fact that Mr.
Eggbrecht himself, who partook of the food but slightly, was
shortly afterwards seized with violent sickness and all the more
ordinary symptoms of acute poisoning.
The Leisure Hour has some opportune remarks regarding
poisonous mushrooms :—The field mushroom assumes so many
forms that it is impossible to assign any characters that shall
embrace all; and the hot-bed mushroom is different, again,
from these. The bright, rosy tint of the gills, and the absence
of any yellow stain when bruised, are the surest indications.
The test of a silver spoon is fallacious. As a general rule, no
one would eat fungi which have a revolting smell ; and if they
leave, when tas a hot sensation in the mouth and throat,
they should be used with caution. Two, however, which are
acrid are yet excellent articles of food—viz., Hydnum repandam
and Cantharellus cibarius.. With such species it is a prac-
tice to slice them into hot water and press the slices in a cloth
before stewing. Professor Bentiey (tne Professor of Botany at
King’s College, London) gives the following ‘* ral charac-
ters by which the edible and poisonous species of fungi may, as
a rule (but not an unerring one), be distinguished. Edible
mushrooms—l, grow solitary in dry airy places ; 2, are generally
white or brownish; 3, have a compact brittle flesh ; 4, do not
change colour, when cut, by the action of the air; 5, juice
watery ; 6, odour agreeable ; 7, taste not bitter, acrid, salt, or
astringent. Poisonous mushrooms—l, grow in clusters, in
woods, and dark, damp places ; 2, usually with bright colours ;
3. flesh tough, soft, and watery ; 4, acquire a brown, green, or
blue tint when cut and exposed to the air; 5, juice often
milky; 6, odour commonly powerful and disagreeable ;
7. have an acrid, astringent, nal i or bitter taste. It is
best to avoid all fungi which have arrived at their full develop-
ment or show any signs of change ; and by soaking doubtful
fungi cut in slices for about an hour in vinegar, and afterwards
washing them in boiling water, they may, it is stated, be ren-
dered harmless.” With regard to the use of fungi, Mr. Berkeley
suggests that in general ‘‘ they should be eaten with moderation,
aad with plenty of bread, to secure sufficient maceration. In
case of accident, a strong mustard emetic should be taken im-
mediately, and medical advice called in. The narcotic symptoms
and attendant inflammation of the intestines are too grave to be
trifled with by domestic medicine. If, however, medical aid is
not at hand, the system must be kept up with chlorine, ether,
brandy, and other stimulants; and if diarrhea and painful
colic are urgent symptoms, opium must be given freely.”
Another annual cat show (the sixth) has been held at the
Crystal Palace. There were 287 entries, divided into fifty
classes, and several rare and valuable animals were exhibited.
Between Folkestone and Dover, on Tuesday, a sham fight
took place in presence of the Duke of Cambridge. The troops
engaged were those risoned at Dover and Shorncliffe, the
former being commanded by Major-General Sir Alfred Horsford
and the latter by Major-General Russell. The operations
passed off satisfactorily. Afterwards the Duke, accompanied
by Sir Richard Airey, Sir C. H. Ellice, and their staff, visited
the Castalia. lying in Dover harbour. The review was con-
tinued on Wednesday, and the Duke inspected the troops at
Chatham on Thursday.
Captain Wiggans has returned to Dundee, in the steam-
ship Diana, from a voyage of exploration in the Arctic regions,
having started from that port on June 4 last. His object was
to reach the Gulf of Obi by way of the Kara Sea, in order to
ascertain whether commerce could be carried on by water
between Europe and Asia. He arrived at the mouth of the
gulf on Aug. 5, and then returned home, after having endea-
voured to find the Austrian expedition. Captain Wiggans is
of opinion that the Kara Sea will be entirely open till the
middle of October, and sees no reason why steam navigation
should not be carried on annually between England and the
Gulf of Obi.
As members for Pontefract, the Right Hon. H. C. Childers
and Major Waterhouse were present, on the occasion of laying,
on Monday, the first brick of a new reservoir now in course of
construction on the Park-hill, for the purpose of oe
the town with an increased supply of water for domestic an
other purposes Mr. Childers, in moving a vote of thanks to
the chief magistrate of the town, alluded to the deficiencies
which had in the past existed in respect to the supply of water.
He said that from present resources a supply of only about
three gallons per head could be obtained, but after the com-
pletion of the reservoir the quantity would be about twenty
times as much, or sixty or seventy gallons per head.

NEW BOOKS.
THE SWARM OF NOVELS,
The production and consumption of one kind of popular litera-
ture may be regarded as the continual filling in of a bottomless
hollow. There is a huge mental void in the daily life of
hundreds of thousands of middle-class women from seventeen
to seventy years of age. They are, unless happily provided
with active household duties, compelled to sit many hours, as
they say, ‘‘ with their hands before them ;” and, as they must
not smoke, they'read. The sort of reading desirable under these
circumstances is that which gives a little employment to the
eyes, in travelling over widely-spaced lines of clear print, and
a little exercise for the fingers, in turning the page at intervals
of a minute anda half. It should also give a little occupation
to the fancy, in the fontng Chelay of a succession, not too quick,
of faint shadowy images hike those in a magic lantern. hese
are figures of men and women in the ordinary costume of
modern society, moving with familiar gestures to and from one
another. A little glow of emotional excitement is needful, to
keep just so much of the mind engaged in this passive observa-
tion as will prevent the images melting and mingling into an
incoherent ’ favourite conception of female readers. It is unnecessary here
The readiest source of emotional interest, for one of that class
of readers whose wants are here considered, is the opportunity
of identifying herself with an imagi young woman in a
romantic situation. What the majority of the sex esteem a
romantic situation is one in which a lovely, graceful, high-
spirited, refined and accomplished girl—or, it may be, a plain,
odd girl with a nameless spell of forcible character—has to
choose between rival suitors. It is probable that women in
general feel a secret grudge against men for the masculine pre-
rogative of making an offer of marriage. As the tyranny of
custom has cowed woman’s part herein to a simple acceptance
or rejection, and woman is disposed to resent being confined to
this part, she likes to fancy a variety of possible cases in which
several men at once might have to await her decision. We are
perfectly aware that very few of our lady readers will admit
the truth of this explanation. But we know the worth of their
disavowal even of such natural and innocent motives. There
is nothing more agreeable to a woman than to have her own
way. Now, it seldom happens, and the more the pity, that
the initiative matrimonial proposal does take place exactly in
the lady’s own way. For this reason it is that women take
their revenge in the writing and reading of fiction. Hence the
ceaseless manufacture of that species of novels which suits the
vacant hours—six or eight hours a day, in some well-regulated
families—of a vast multitude of ladies, old and young, with no
particular work or business on their hands.
We have a great regard for these readers, and would take
any amount of trouble to serve them ; but it has long seemed
to us that their service cannot demand a critical notice of all
the novels which the publishers send us without our asking.
And there are many novels of which neither publishers nor
authors would thank us for such an honest and candid opinion
as we must express if we noticed them at all. There are
hundreds of three-volume stories, and some in two or one
volume, printed every season, which are mere displays of pre-
tentious silliness; the writing of vulgar, low-minded, and
illiterate persons, ignorant of good society, of the ideas and
manners belonging to a passable standard of culture, and yet
more ignorant of the natural workings of the human mind.
That pictures of life so false and so feeble should be passed in
great abundance through the press, at the cost of publishers
who must know their market better than any disinterested
observer can know it, is to the uninitiated a constant puzzle.
Readers may be found, among the listless sitters upon all the
sofas in England, for anything freshly printed that promises
not to tax the brains unused to thought. But it is incredible
that any of these readers, who have finished with the three
volumes in two days, should ever become the buyers of such
books. A lady will, indeed, within less than a fortnight,
forget every incident of a novel she has read, and even
the names of its hero and heroine; but she would loath
the proposal to read it a second time. These books are
never placed for good on the bookshelves in a private
jouse, Their only —— are the keepers of circulating
libraries in town and country, who get sixpence or ninepence
from each reader of the three volumes, The general run, how-
ever, of these book-loan jobbers, being petty tradesmen in the
stationery and toyshop line, instead of buying from the pub-
lishers, find it more advantageous to borrow from a great
London contractor. They take, say, for three months, a box
of whatever he may chance to send them, for they know that
their lady customers will be content with cngtides that is
newly printed. There is far less choice or individual taste in
this commodity than in the purchase, over a draper’s or mercer’s
counter, of the least important article for materials of dress.
This being the state of the trade in ordinary novels, and their
manufacture having descended to the supply of such atrade,
we cannot think it the duty of a public journalist to speak of
their merits any more than to commend or disapprove the wares
of every other shopkeeper. The advertisement columns are
open to all.
It is scarcely needful to say that there are just exceptions
to be made in favour of some novels—we could wish for a
nobler name to give them—by authors of a higher class. These
are sometimes men and women of genius, more often of talent,
with consummate literary skill. Others, whose works are
equally acceptable, have had peculiar social experiences, or
find in their own individual lives the key to problems of moral
interest. In relating these matters with veracity and discretion
they render good service, which more than compensates for lack
of ingenuity in the plot or of brilliancy in the style. We shall
always take pleasure in the task of reviewing such novels as
these, and recognising as early as possible whatever contribu-
tion they afford to a true knowledge of the world, to the cause
of virtue and domestic happiness, and to the right understand-
ing of private duties. For it is with these inestimable human
interests that the modern novelist has to deal; and whoever
does this kind of work in a conscientious spirit, bringing to it
some originality of thought and capacity of wholesome feeling,
deserves to be thanked and oahel
Upon all the grounds stated in the foregoing paragraph—
imaginative genius, literary tact and skill, wide knowledge of
English society, and sincerity of moral purpose—Mrs. Oliphant
stands, in our judgment, among the best of our novelists at the
resent day. She is very far from being so great as ‘‘ George
‘liot ” in the power of conceiving and exhibiting the essential
differences of character. But Salem Chapel, in the ‘‘ Chronicles
of Carlingford,” is hardly to be surpassed as a forcible expres-
sion of certain phases of character under the exciting influences
of a vehement conflict of duties and feelings. Mrs. Oliphant,
however, moves with a grace and ease not so well preserved by
‘* George Eliot,” and with a step as sure and firm, in the region
of serious comedy, if we may so call it, where the important
business of life is discussed by persons who have their faults,
but who are not very wicked, and whose quarrels or intrigues
will come to a tolerable compromise. The bent of ‘‘ George
Eliot” has always been to the tragedy of mortal disappointment
and the calm sadness of heroic resignation. There are very
