F ew people in this oonntry are aware of the fact th a t a great fair has been held a t Tashkend, the capital of Bus- sian Turkestan. The exhibition in­cluded the display of products of the central Asian region and was in many ways a rem arkable enterprise. P e r ­haps its chief interest, however, lies in the evidence it gavp of the oriental sub­mission to western influence. An en­deavor to consummate suoh an enter­prise twenty years ago met w ith ridicu­lous failure. Now, with th e increase ol interrelationships, it has been carried through successfully, the T urks slowly acceding to th e propositions of the dom inant races, whioh are gradually extending their sway, together with their railroads, into the darkest of the unenlightened nations.

T he numerous inventions which have been developed in the past hundred yoars in the line of cotton-working ma­chinery have worked a revolution in the industry, and cheapened the production of goods very materially. B u t there is one process which has never yet been m aterially aided or altered, uo mechan­ical process having been successfully introduced to do the work. Cotton picking has always been done by hand. Now, however, it is reported that a ma­chine for this work has been invented which promises to be successful in its operation. I f this be true, and the Southern aptton planter can pick hia cotton by machinery, and deliver it to the factory in as good condition as at present, a great step has been taken in the future progress and prosperity ol the industry.

You can tell the manner of a man by the way he wears his hat. Your jovial, happy-go-lucky man wears it on the back of his head. Things do not trouble him much. One reason is that he has never had any trouble. I f he had, he would be wearing his hat farther over. The man who walks along thinking of his work, who is a m atter of fact sort of a man, never very happy, and never very bloe, wears his h a t squarely on his head. The man who has trouble a t home, or who is a great thinker, wears his tilted over his face. If you want some one to laugh a t your jokes, the first man is youi friend. I f you want good advice, go to tho second, and if you want sympathy in trouble, go to the third. There is trouble in his eyes, and the tilted h a t brim tells i t instead of hiding it.

M OST FA SH IO N A B L E M OD ES OF W EARING T H E HAIR.

R ic h a n d E l e g a n t C o s t u m e s f o r E v e n in g ; JR ecepfcions — C h a r m in g : H a r m o n ie s JnC o lo r s—S m a ll l t o m io t s f o r t h e T h e a t e r - D a in t y M u ffs t h a t A r e M ore, O r n a m e n t a l t h a n U s e f u l .

Nkw York, December, 1890.GENIAL humorist once s p o k e v e r y slightingly of t h e dangers connected with tho sword of Damocles, which, as you may remember, was suspended by a single hair. Said he: “A single hair Is safe enough; it's a head full of blonde curls or ebon t r e s s e s

m ilch unfixes my peace of m ind.” The late Courtland Palmer, the founder of the Nineteenth Century Club, always in­sisted th a t ladies should appear without bonnets at the club receptions, and, in fact, you’ll find th at men pretty gener­ally are in favor of “bonnets off.” Women can’t always understand this. The woman who pays fifty dollars for a bonnet naturally wants to wear it as ofton as possible, (she is like the young man with his first dress suit. He is so proud of it th a t he puts it on in the moraine. But man has not yet succeeded In inventing a covering for the head which has the charm of N ature’s own beautiful silken growth. I t is only ln the past few years th a t we women have come to a realizing sense of the necossity of giving more attention to tho care of tho hair, for, like the voice and the walk, the hair is capable of g reat improve­ment, and this rem ark applies with equal force to quantity and quality of growth and to mode of wearing it.

An eminent sculptor assures me th a t not one man In a dozen wears his beard in a becoming fashion, and 1 may say the same thing of women as regards tho manner in which they arrango their hair. The Greek simplicity, now so modern, is not becoming to all women. I t Is too severe, and should be modified to soften the features in some cases; but modifi­cations aro generally dangerous. I al­ways think so when I see a man in what is known as a tailless dress coat. Re- vortlng to my position th a t mon like to see us without bonnets when in elegant a ttire, I have only to calf your attention to the etiquette of the Italian opera.

The opening night was unusually bril­liant, and it seemed to me th a t I had never seen such an a rray of shapely heads, such a display of charming coiffures. I t was really extraordinary, even for the metropolis, poet, painter, aud sculptor could havo drawn deep and soul-stirring inspiration from these long rows of delightfully delicato and refined heads—many of them specimens of beauty rare and radiant enough to satisfy the most exacting fancy. The initial cut and tlie group of heads pictured in the second illustration will give you a very correct idea of .some of the best of these styles of wearing the hair.

I hear faint-hearted predictions of a return to the chignon, b u t they are like tho oft-made threat of the revival of the bustle and the abandonment of tho tailor- made. They are the voice of fashion’s malcontents. You'll find malcontents in every walk of life, especially male mal­contents railing a t the foibles of fashion.

The prevailing style of frisure tends to tho relinquishment of the liery un­tamed fringe, which, like the forelock of a champing and restive steed, held its placo for so long. .Somo forehead must be visible, and care m ust be taken not to give the head too much a look of pre­meditated art. Thero should be an artistic trimncss and neatness, and the hair should be dressed close to the head so as to aet the classic smultness observ­able in the antique statues.

Inclosing the hair in a net can bo neither artistic nor picturesquo. I t is simply utility, and I detest plain, every­day utility when fashions are con­cerned. There is but ono thing which remains to be done by those who are content tcf wear their h a ir in t net, and that Is to put their heads in, bags—grand mufti stylo—%nd havtf done With It.

F tam opera to thea te r thc transition is easy. Never before, I may safely say, have our theaters been moro brilliant than they are this season, and I refer to auditorium a's well as to stage. In fact tho two have kept even pace with each other, and in this respect the theater has proved itself possessed of high civilizing qualities, for I contend th a t aaiy power which encourages one generation to dress better than the preceding is a genuine factor ln the civilization of the age.

Thc third illustration sets forth a very stylish costume for theater or reception, consisting of pale-blue cloth ornamented with sliver, with bine velvet sleeves In a darker shade, and a narrow panel of the velvet on tho side bordered by tho sliver ornamentation. The h a t is of blue vel­vet with silver embroidery, with aigrette having quaint silver mounting and up­standing bow of blue velvet ribbon. A pale-blue velvet muff completes the costume.

And, apropos of muffs, f sincerely trust that we are not to have a mild winter, for the dainty confections of cloth; fur, and lace which are to do service as muffs this season are rather adapted for ornam ent than use. Indeed, many of these so-called muffs are not worthy of the name. They are merely pretty conceits to set off a Jaunty out­

door costume. L et me talk muffs for I few moments. B ut who would think oi applying tho name of muff to a dainti thing in fawn-covered cloth, lined wlti velvot of a darker shade, and ornament­ed with a stuffed squiirel holding < nut between his teeth? Another is madt of black velvet embroidered with heavj gold flowers, and covered with gold lacn masked by black tulle. Still another l| fashioned from old-rose velvet lined witl| sable, tied with a silver ribbon so as t<i make the ends open and show the fur. B ut they grow—so to speak—lit ati.I daintier styles. For example, entirely of lace or feathers with fur lining. Onu exquisite little creation consisted of parsley-green velvot, lined with cream silk brocaded with little bouquets, and covered with black fox-tails, with a num­ber of parsley-green velvet bows.

f t Is quite a fad to pin a bunch ot natural flowers to oije of theso muffs, or to ornam ent it with a butterfly of let lace or with a bunch of plumes. Theso pretty little toy muffs all have chains or silk cords or ribbons, which aro passed around the nock, and the fact Is that, although they seem so light and airy,

they serve very well to keep the tips of tho fingers warm. Of course, they aro n ot appropriate for real service In ex­trem e weather, when you wear your sealskin sacque or fur-lined ulster. I havo only mentioned a fow which at­tracted my attention. Their name is really legion, and every manner of ani­m al’s head has boen called into requisi­tion to ornam ent them—not tho real heads, bu t artificial ones, of course, with just enough resemblanco to enable you to guess what tho maker had in mind.

In the fourth illustration you find rep­resented an oxtremeiy rich and elegant costume for thc theater or afternoon or evening reception. I t consists of black volvet with a tabller of ombroid- ered hengaiine. Tho embroidery, which is very artistic, is mado up of a combina­tion of ,iet and gold. The sleeves aro also of black velvet, with embroidery to correspond. Tho hat Is In strictest har­mony with the dress.

I notice somo charming harmonies In grays and blues. Ono especially a ttrac t­ed my attention as being very suitablo for a theater dress and not a t all expen­sive. Tho material was a pale bluo silk, made up with black spotted not, having a woven Vandyko edge. The entire sk irt was draped with the black spotted net, the bodice being arranged with a kind of Square-cut pinafore of net held in place a t tho waist by a band of silver galloon, embroidered with turquoise, whilo tho yoke and the full sleovos wero of tho plain blue silk. Tills costume may be almost infinitely varied.

A pale electric bluo cloth makes a charming th ea te r- costume, and needs only to be outlined with black feather

trimm ing and set off by black velvet shoulder knots to be extremely effective. Gold galloon stems to have a marked run just a t present, but unless toned down by Jet embroidery It is not much affected by those who prefer quiet ele­gance to show effects.

The small bonnets so much worn a t the theater will call forth the heartfelt thanks of tho male portion of tho audi­ence. Many of them are In complete harmony with the dress, as they should bo. Theso capotes,, with birds executing all sorts of flights upon their crowns, are not at all suitable for the theater. Speak­ing for myself, I may Bay I dislike ex­tremely to have a nervous young woman with a display of these cirrus birds on her hat seated in front of mo. Thoy aro very distracting, and I often find myself fascinated by their impossible colors and attitudes, especially when they are kept in a perpetual motion by the restless being whoso h a t they adorn.

N a family of four, a five or six-pound leg of mutton possesses

■ strikingly “ the gift of continuance.” For the benefit of some p im led housewife, to whom Its economical yet appetizing d I s- position Is a subject of anxious thought, we may n arra te the successive reappear­

ances of such a pioce of meat upon a cer­tain table. Its debut was In the usual form of boiled mutton, of which the pro­per accompaniment is caper sauce; the recipes for this are various, but the fol­lowing may be found useful:

Capeb Sauois—Into one tablespoonful of flour rub th® same quantity of butter, and add gradually one-half pint of boil­ing water, stirring wtell. Mix In one teaspoonful of vinegar and add th e ca­pers, e ither one or two tablespoonfuls, as suits tho taste.

Tho w ater in which the moat had been boiled was set away in the soup-kettle. The next day, whep It was quite cold, the fa t was carefully removed and pearl barley was added, in tho proportion of four level tablospoonfuls to a q u a rt of soup. Seasoned with salt and pepper just boforo serving, th is made a, very good soup.

Tho m utton next appeared upon the breakfast table one warm morning, when to eat seemed ain unnecessary, or a t least au undesirable;, effort; cut In the thinnest possible slices, arranged neatly upon a dainty platter, and garnished w ith deli­cate sprays of parsely, it could hardly fail to tem pt the most languid appetite.

N ext came the curry episode, and here let ns digress to speak a good word for this too-little-known seasoning. Many who dislike It when used in quantity will find th a t a smUi.amount gives a delicious Bavor, obtainable by the use of no other condiment. In is especially pleasant In bot weather a»d in warm countries, a fact suggested by its origin in India, and has been considered to “give tono to the digestive 01 gaiis,” containing as it doijs black pepper, coriander seed, ginger, mustard, turmeric, and spices with other Ingredients, according to the formula used in its preparation. I t is inexpen­sive, too—anolihcr item in its favor. And so the mutton, when next the faithful leg, or w hat remained of it, appeared, was in tho tempting form of

C u b b t o f M utto.n—Chop one pin t of cold cooked mutton. P u t one tabiesoon- ful of butter in a frying-pan; when melted, add a tablespoon ful of flour and stir until smooth; add a half-pint of boil­ing water, stir until it bolls; add the meat, a teaspoonful of curry-powder, and a half-teaipoonful of salt; s tir until thoroughly heated. Then heap it in the center of a meat dish, and put around it a border of nieoly boiled rice.L Thi3 recipe Is one of Mrs. Eorer’s, as is

also th a t for cooking tho rice so th a t the grains are separate, after tho fashion of Chinese cooking.

Rich—Wash one cupful of good rice, and sprinkle it carefully into a kettle full of boiling water; covor and boil rapidly, without stirring, for twenty minutes. Drain and throw luto a bowl of cold water to blanch for ton minutes. Drain again, and s tand in the colander, over boiling w ater to steam, or stand it in the oven, leaving the door open. Sprinkle with salt, and serve.

But even this did not dispose of all the mutton, and again i t formed the piece da resistance at breakfast, this timo me- troposed into minced mutton or toast. Kor th is dish, chop the meat line ,‘being careful to remove all bits of gristle or bone, moisten it witli a little butter, sea- non with salt, and when hot spread upon hot toast, the crusts of which have been slightly motstoncd with hot wator. To somo tastes a little Worcestershire sauce, added with th e salt, is an improve­ment.

When the housewife opened the re­frigerator doors a fte r breakfast iu the course of her morning round, sho sighed as her eyes fall upon two small portions, ono of curried, the o ther of minced mut­ton. Must those be eaten? The spirit of economy faintly whispered, “Yes, per­haps,” but the thought of the masculine scorn of scraps brought with it an em­phatic “ No.” The same thought, how­ever, or its successor, recalled the mas­culine fondness for salids, more espec­ially upon so hot a day as this prom: lsed to be,. Inspiration fptyswed as as hard-boiled teg came into view, and im­agination jiilitured a combination dish, which proved, in reality, to be a “ very deserving” salid, as the small boy said of his pudding as he disposed in short order

■of his third plateful. And this Is how it was compounded:

F irs t the minced and curried mutton, rice and ali, were thorougnly mixed, so subduing tho curry flavor th a t Its origin was barely traceable; the resu lt was mounded in the center of a nearly flat, square-cornered dish, and set in the re­frigerator to become thoroughly chilled. An ordinary salld-bowl Is too deep for this, and the dainty white of china Is a pleasant contrast with the salid. The

, salld-drossing was next to be concocted, And the flrst step In this was to carefully

-idlce Into rings a hard-boiled egg, the yolk gathered 4u a saucer forming the

-•foundation. Mashed floe and mixed into a paste with one tablespoonful of salid oil, It was seasoned to taste with salt and pepper, and then th ree more seant table- spoonfuls of oil wero added; beating in a tablespoonfml of vinegar completed this operation, and tbe lettuce was next pre­pared. The central loaves o f delicate green and yellow, were carefully washed and tucked in around the mound of raut ton, each larger green leaf containing a •m ailer yellow heart-leaf. The rings ol white of egg decorated the surface of the mound in a fanciful design, and just be­fore serving each one* was filled with salad dressing, the remainder being sent to the table, in a separate (Ash, to be added as desired.— Patty Druee, in Oood Huuvckecylnij-

B ole* th e W ay,How often I see a fringe o< weeds,

brambles, and briars a rod wide along the sides of cultivated fields. I» it for use o r ornament th a t the owner allows it there? Seems to me th a t such a fringe not only looks badly, but is a hu rt to any larm , for the ylle seeds produced there

ta k e roo t In th e ad jo in ing plow ed la n d an d m ak e m ore w ork , and sap fe r t i li ty from th e soil th a t should grow som eth ing m o re p rofitab le th a n weeds. T h e fr in g e also m akes a h a rb o r fo r verm in of one so r t o r an o ther. A ll sueh fr in g es should be b u rn ed before snow flies th is fall.

I t pays to shell the corn one is obliged to sell, before delivering it to buyer, for i t not only saves hauling so much bulk, but the fuel the cobs make is a saving on the coai bill, both in money and hauling. B ut after the corn is shelled, how often I see tho cobs in great piles, exposed to the weather. I never saw any th a t burned hotter for being so exposed, did you? If not, I think they had better be housed. Mine are when I have any.

I have noticed th a t some are in the habit of leaving the tripod, with which the hay has been stacked, astride the stack; It often happens th a t the stack Is built so close to the feet of the tripod th a t the water runs down there and wets the stack. Why not take the tripod down wheu the stack is finished? B etter for tho stack and the tripod.

Once in a whilo I see a girl helping tho boys husk the corn. T h a t’s right, especially if tho boy cannot go to school before tho corn is out. Often the best boy of tho family is the girl, and after the mother has had her. help in tho homo till the morning work is dono up it will not do her any harm, will givo her health and strength to get the fresh air and try her haud a t getting out the golden corn. On the same principle, if the “girls are all boys” it Is right that the boy or boys help tho mother about the houso. There’s nothing like lending a helping hand to make things move.

To-day, In going through the country, I noticed one field in which one set of hands and a team wero getting in the fodder and another team and set of hands were husking out tho corn, so tho work was kept right up, when tho last shock a t night was husked out it was thrown upon tho wagon and the stack closed in. No re-handling of fodder in th a t field, no shocks blown down and buried in the snow.

I havo often wondered why those who have g reat boulders in their meadows or plowed fields, allow weeds and other foul trash to grow around, go to seed, and make winter homes for mice and other vormin. Now is tho best timo of tho year to clean up such places—purge them with Are. Nothing short will do the job effectually.

Sometimes I hear of cows and other stock being sick a fter turning into the stalk field. Often this is laid to the ■smut,” Let tho stock havo free access

to salt and all tho fresh water they will drink, and there will be less complaint on this score.

Do scfme farm ers think hay tools standing upon tho meadow lend a pic- turesquo view to tho winter scene? If not, why are so many mowing machines and hay rakes left out? I t does them no good.

How many farm ers ever th ink the windmill tower needs looking after? Tho probability is there will be some high winds th is winter. I think it would be a good plan for all who havo windmills to look over the towers and see If there is not a bolt or nail needed, or a brace or new piece where a sappy stick was used. Tower builders mean to put in none but good lumber, but m istakes will happen; strengthen the tower if needed.

The thought came to me to-day t hat some farm ers go along ju st as though they expected to have no winter this season. No preparation whatever mado for the shelter of stock or convenience in caring for them. Look out for suf­fering and loss on such farm s.—Cor. Farm , Field and Stockman.

I m p o r t a n c e o f T e a t i n s M ilk In t h e C r e a m - o r i* s .

Through tho Bureau of Dairy Inform a­tion, Mr. C. P. Goodrich relates an in­stance to illustrato the importance of testing milk to determine the amount of butter fa t it contains, and paying for it accordingly:

I have a friend who has been for many years a privato dairyman. He has gradu­ally, by an Intelligent breeding and feeding, and with an eye solely to butter production, built up a splendid herd of bntter cows. Ho has mado money enough iu dairying to enable him to buy a much larger farm than he before owned, and located near a creamery, which he commeuc*! to patronize a few months ago. /

Not long since he told me ho was not satisfied a t all with the returns he got from tho creamery. “ W hy," said he, “during the months of Juno and Ju ly I got 45 cents a 100 for my milk. About four pounds to the 100, average of about 15 cents a pound, and i ccnts out for making does It you see. Now, the milk of my cows will make six pounds to the 100—I know it; because it lias done th at for some yoars, and, besides, I kept it at home one week in Juno ami ft did it tfiens'" I know they say the separator can get more out of milk than I can, but I can get that. As to price, I have al­ways got as much as, and usually more than, the best creamery. B ut a t 15 ccnts six pounds Is 90 ccnts, ju st double what I got Now, I can 't stand th at. To keep the cows—feed, care for, and milk thorn, and carry the milk to the factory, and then give half to have tho butter made is too much for me.

I don't know what to do. I have no convonienc a for making butter on this farm, and I don 't want to be a t the ex­pense of $S00 o r #300 for fitting them up. Besides, my wlfo has always mado the butter, and I want sho should have a lit­tle rest, and I don’t, suppose we could hire anybody to mako it as good as sho can.

I have got to do something different, and 1 have about made up my mind that I must lot my splendid butter cows go [ hato to terribly—It has taken me years to get them—and get somo others that will give moro milk, no m atter whether there is much butter fn it o r not. Maybe i ’ll g e t ‘Hoisteins.’ ”

Then turning to me he said, “ W hat ■ shall I do?" My roffly was, I will r;ive you advice only on ono point; th a t Is “stick to your butter oows, for by the time you get fairly changed around you will want them back again, because the creamery men wtll soon be com piled to test the milk and give credit for the but­ter fa t ft contains or quit tho business.”

Raining w h i t* M y m onth Hooks.Our smail flock of fowls having become

a mixture of different varieties, we de­termined last spring before selling off the old stock to raise the required num­ber of pure-blood chickens.’ As the W hite Plymouth Bocks seemed to com­bine all the requisite qualities desirable in fowls. In May wo obtained four set­tings of eggs from * hlch were batched thirty-five fine healthy chickens. We found them to bo hardy, vigorous and

very tenacious of life; several times dur- ing the summer the pelting rains flooded their coops and thoroughly wet them, which would have beon death to common chickens; but after they were picked up and dried by the kitchen fire they were as lively as evei*. They are white, with­out any markings o f color, except that when first hatched some of them showed a blending of grey about tho head, but this in a short time entirely disappeared. They havo very large frames, and are somewhat slow in reaching maturity,■< but when one takes into consideration the size and weight they attain at full growth, there is nothing remarkable about it. They are said to be good layers and nearly non-sitters. They are also a desirable fowl for table use, as their flesh is white, tender, and fine- flavored. A t this, date our flock of chickens are nearly six months old, and while they have attained a . two-thirds growth, it is difficult to ascertain their sex with any degroo of accuracy; the males to all appearance largely predomi­nate, and we aro holding the entire flock for fu ture development.

In connection with the W hite Ply­mouth Kocks we raised a brood or two of chickens from our old stock of fowls. While the males have been slaughtered for table use, tho pullets havo been lay­ing since tho first of the month, which, with our-mixed breed of fowls, is ah un­common occurrence. We have just one Brown Leghorn hen whose record wo wish to give, and if “ A Farm er’s Daugh­ter” o r any other poultry-raisers can show a better record from this variety or any other, will they please to make it known? In September of last year a neighbor had a brood of Brown Leghorn chickons come off, and as cold weather camo on they all died but one. Through some unaccountable freak this ono orphan chicken took up its quarters in one of our barns and persisted in remain­ing there. John was indignant and said he would not have one of his fowls mixed up with such an insignificant breed, and If the neighbor did not keep It at home he would wring its neck. After ono or two unsuccessful attem pts to keep the chick a t home the neighbor gave it up, and the chicken picked np Its living wherever it could, and became a perma­nent boarder through the entire winter. But judge of onr astonishment when this half-grown chicken began to lay in April. At first its eggs resembled a dove's ogg in size. From April to the present timo thero have not been many days a t a time but th a t this fowl has produced an egg. John says if he had a dozen such hens he could glut the m arket with eggs.— Car.

After all, the mild agencies are the best. Perhaps they work more slowly, but they work surely. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are an active agency but quiet and mild. They’re sugar-coated, easy to take, never shock nor derange the system and half their pow­er is in the mild way in which their work is done. Small­est, cheapest, easiest to take. One a dose.

Last week we mentioned the fact of Jacob Iluth of this place attending the fu­neral of hia former comrade, Jacob Wei- denkopf, at Cleveland on Saturday.

On the 8 th of April 1847 Ibese two com­rades left Cleveland under Capt. Perry in a company of 91 men. Sailing from New Orleans, they arriverl at Vera Cruz May

21 I June 4 they as part of an escort39 I of 700 men started with a wagon train car-

night. Prom this place fighting was con­tinually kept up until they reached Castle Perote where they again waited for rein­forcements, then continued on to Pueblo, where they arrived about the 12th, with less than 11,000 men. When within 9 miles of the City ot Mexico they found the enemy fortified at Contreras and a bat­tle was fought on tbe 2 0 th, taking over 4,000 prisoners and killing 1,300 with a total loss not to exceed 40 men. The same day they fought at Cherubusco, our army consisting of 8 ,000 men against 28,- 000 Mexicans, it being thft hardest battle of that war. Their next battle was at Molino del Ray and the bombarding of Chapultepec four days), then taking that place by storm, and on tbe same day at­tacking the City of Mexico which surren­dered about 10 o'clock at night, and on the next morning the stars and stripes were hoisted over the Mexican Capitol. At the battle of Cherubusco Mr. Weidenkopf’s regiment lost over one-third of its men. On August 7, 1848 this company returned to Cleveland, 26 men all told. The death of Mr. Weidenkopf leaves our townsman, Mr. Huth, the last of the brave 91. A more than brotherly friendship has existed between tbe two since their war exper­ience over forty years ago.

Last Friday was"a' lTvely time in the Della schools. W lut with the roomscrowded with visitors, songs, essays, dec­lamations aud music rendered by children and candy, popcorn and oranges furnished each school by tbe teachers, it was a jol­ly time. I t was hard to tell which were tbe happiest the visitors, the teachers or the pupils. The pupils of the several apartments each made their teacher a handsome present also.

All this reminds us of a Christmas over forly years ago, when we were a “ fresh­man” in one of the popular institutions of learning in eastern Ohio of that day. Tbe building was of hewed logs, which, while lying in .1 pile before the house was built, had been set fire and some of them badly charred, hence the name by which it was known, was "the burnt school house.” It is not necessary to go into a full descrip­tion of tbe building, it is enough to say that it. was one of the primitive kind, the seats being po ilar logs split in halves, wilh wooden pins for legs.

O11 the morning in question, after walk­ing over two miles to school, over hills, through fields and through woods, we ar­rived at the school house, but tbe door was “ barred.” The only upright window in the house was raised and we were pulled in, to warm. The door was fastened on the inside by ono of tbe benches being placed with one end against thc door about half way up, the other end on the floor with a wooden pin drove into tlie floor to hold it. This work was done by by the “ big boys.”

When the teacher arrived, the sasli was raised a couple of inches and a blank con­tract banded out to him to sign agreeing to treat tlie school. This he utterly re­fused to do aud retired, going to two of the directors and reporting the condition of things at the school house. These di­rectors immediately repaired to the scene of action and clothed with the majesty of law, and good homespun “ womises” and pantaloons they ordered the boys home, took the door to a neighbors for safe keep­ing until the next morning, and told tbe teacher to be on hand at that time. The boys then went to the other director, the father of tbe writer of this article, and re­ported. This director after hearing the boys’ story, said “ Come on boys, we'll see about this.” ' He (Went and getting the door replaced it, and told the boys to fas­ten it up t'ght so it couldn't get away again. This they did and the next morn­ing the teacher signed the article, tbe door

'was opened and school called, On new years’ morning the teacher appeared with a two-busliel bag full of fine red apples,

I Candy andorganges were not known in 1 those days as treats for school children. ;The teacher, Henry G. Nelson was a good

j teacher and a gentleman, but we have | never heard of him since the close of that 1 school lorty-two years ago.

The farmers have been blessed with very fair crops, which as a rule have commanded very fair prices. The prospects for a good wheat crop next year is excellent and farmers seem to be happy.

Trade through the year has been very fair, and for the last month has been ex­cellent. All this in tlio face of the fact that we have just passed through a great political campaign in which the questions involved were vital to trade. We believe that when the final balance sheet of thc year is struck it will show a nice balance on the profit side.

In the way of buildings, Delta and the. farming community contiguous have done well. Perhaps in no year o! the past has so many good dwellings been built in Delta as m 1890.

All lines of business are fstjfly prosper­ous, laborers have not had to go idle, wages have been remunerative, and our people have seen the approach of winter without the fear of want staring them in the face.

During the year several hundred good substantial names have been added to the subscription list of the Atlas, our job department has had an excellent run of business, and the Atlas will go into the new year with a gubscsjption patronage second to none in the county.

In view of all 'hes'i facts we as a people, can ou next Thursday morning, with thankful hearts for the past and cheerful of tbe future, greet each other with a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The Lucky H orseshoe.A fanner traveling with a load picked

up a horseshoe in the road, and nailed it fast, to his barn door, that luck might down upon bim pour, that every blesslngknown in life might crown his homestead aud his wife, and never any kind of harm descend upon his growing farm. But dire ill-for- tune soon began to visit tho astounded man. His hens decliueci to lay their eggs, bis bacon tumbled from the pegs, and rats devoured the fallen legs; his corn, that never failed before, mildewed and rotted on the floor, his grass refused to end in hay, his cattle died, or went astray, in short, all moved the crooked way. Next spring a great drouth baked the sod, aud roasted every pea in pod, the beaus de­clared they could not grow so long as nature acted so; redundant insects reared their brood to starve for lack of juicy food; the staves from barrel sides went off as if she had the booping-cough, and nothing of the useful kind to hold to­gether felt inclined, in short, it was no use to try, while all the land was in a fry. One morn, demoralized with grief, the farmer clamored for relief, aud prayed right hard to understand wi.nt witclic now possessed bis laud, why house and' farm in misery grew, since lie naiiei. up that “lucky" shoe. While thus dismaye o’er matters wrong, an old man chanced

He was arrested Monday evening but the money was not found. The fun of it is, there don’t scelh to be any law fitting his exact kind of procedure.

It is oue of the oldest towns in the state and has always been Upper Sandusky and the name nnd location is famlliiar with tbe people from Maiue to Oregon. A few years ago M*imee City took the same kind of a fool*otion and became “ South Toledo,'' It wasn’t long however until she asked that her "maiden name” might be restored.

An explosion "occurred a t the Now Jersey Steel and iron W orks,atTrenton, N. J ., fatally Injuring flvo men. A largo mass of molten metal, known as a “cin­der,” had been taken from ono of the furnaces to undergo the process of cool­ing. This Is done by dashing buckets of water upon it after it has been exposed to the air long enough to somewhat abate the white heat a t which It emergw from the furnaces. Tho furnace man decidos tho proper time a t which to throw the water on, and men stand in readiness with buckets to follow his orders. Ono of the helpers, Michael Fuda, w ithout waiting for tho signal, threw his bucket of water upon the “ cinder” almost as soon as it was taken from the furnace. As the water struck the huge mass tbe extensively heated metal exploded with a deafening report, hurling in all directions large pieces of Iron, some of them weighing hundreds of pounds. Michael Fnda and his four companions, who wero standing around tho “cinder,'’ woro thrown to tha ground covered with horrible wounds, their clothing and flesh burned, and emitting a sickning odor. Fuda, who stood a few feet nearer to the cindor than the others, had liis eyos burned completely out. In the back of his neck was burned a largo hole and sovoral holes was burned In his body.

They are all in a critical condition, and the chances of the recovery of any of them are small. The rail mill, tho sceno of the explosion, presented a hor­rible sight. (treat chunks of flesh dropped from the bones of the mangled and roasted men, filling the air with a stifling odor, whilo the surroundings bore hundreds of traces of the forcc of the flying pieces of metal. The escape of the five men from instant death and others iu tho mill from injury, is miracu­lous.

the 21st inst., says: Early this morning Gen. Carr sent C apt Stanton, of the Sixth cavalry, with his troops, number­ing about sixty men, to scout and look around for Indians ill the Bad Lands. Threo heliograph stations had been es­tablished—“one in camp, one up on top of the high bluffs, and one which had fol­lowed up as nearly as practicable Capt. Stanton’s command. At 3 o’clock p. m. a soldier was seon coming down the bluff, putting his horse a t full gallop, and im­mediately the heliograph linos com­menced working. The rider crossed the rivor and reported to Gen. Carr th a t Capt. Stanton was in an engagement with the Indians. Gen. Carr gave orders for Lieut. Scott and troop D to go to the assistance. Within a few minutes the troops were charging up the bluff to the scene of action. The soldier's horse, upon ,h is dismounting, dropped dead, having been ridden so hard for such a long distance. Other troops were Immediately placed in marching order, and were held in readi­ness to inarch a t a moment’s notice. Two hours passed, news being transm itted by the heliograph. Sometime later Capt. Stanton and the other troops returned, whereupon, being interviewed, it was learned th a t some time after noon he no­ticed a large party ot Indians with a herd of ponies coming from the east and heading from tbe Bad Lands. He imme­diately gave chase, and after running some miles gradually drew upon the In­dians, who commenccd firing, but their bullets were wide of the mark. Shots were exchanged quite lively for some time, when the Indians approached and made for a creek called Wounded Knee. They went down this creek and Into the brakes up a deep draw and wero lost to view in the Bad Lands. Captain Stantbn followed them for some time, but, fearing an ambush, withdrew his troops and returned to camp. Most of the ponies, upon hearing the firing, stampeded and were lost to the Indians, but it is thought they will try and regain their stock in large num­bers. To-morrow General Carr will again send out a la«ie force to look for them. To-night there will be posted 011 each of the adjoining bluffs somo hiindrod pickets, and 110 fires will be lighted In camp. The signal of attack will be a rlflo shot. The troops are all holding themselves In readiness. I t is expected th a t an a ttack will occur about daylight in tho morning between tlie lios- tlics and the pickets. Everybody in camp is 011 the tip-toe of expectation.

Elmer Sharkey killed his mother, a widow, near Eaton, Preble County, January 12, 1889, crushing her skull with a maul, while she was sleep­ing. He feigned a burglar had commit­ted tho crime, but the suspicion was so strong th a t he was arrested at the funeral of his mother. After a few days he confessed the crime. His motive was to get possession of the farm aud remove the objections ot liis mother to his mar­riage with a girl of tho neighborhood. Sharkey had two trials, a t both of which he was convicted. He claimed moro re­cently that a confession was forced from him through th reats of lynching. Conf;

Assaults upon unprotected women, as they havo been returning home from work, have been so frequent of late th a t there is a concerted movement on tho part of shop and factory girls to propare themselves for making a vigorous defense of their honor, and It Is now quite fashionable for Cleveland ladies to carry daggers and other life-destroying implements.

11 HEN our hero re- ' vived a R a in he

found that the dwarf was bath­ing his face in cold water and ap­plying ammonia to his nostril b.

“D o n ’t t a k e them away!" cried he, as Moore was in the aot of re­moving the pa­pers from the bed upon whioh they lay s c a t t e r e d about.

"I must. They’ll throw you off your

base again. I ’m afraid, ”“Oh, no!”“What frightened you?”Cole was about to make an evasive

reply, when the thought ooourred to him that be might make an ally of the de­ranged, though dangerous man, who had not only spared his life but had been, no doubt, at very great pains to start him on the road toward health and strength.

“You saw from th e oard, ” returned he, “that I was working on the St. Cyr case.

“Yes."“That led me to the house of this Max

Morris.”“Ha! I seel’“Before that I m et the daughter of the

murdered m an.”“Berenice?”“Exactly1.”“And you fell in love with her. Don’t

deny. I t ’s a family failing. I did it my. selt once, and was never the samo man since. ”

“I see. Well, you are right, and that largely accounts for my interest in the matter. <ludge of my feelings, then, when I saw that she was deadl”

“I ’m sorry for it, M ilty.”“I t was she that I lowered from the

window in Morris’ house.”“Then he and Bears have made away

with her. ’’“ U ndoubtedly .”“And you’d like to be revenged?”“I t ’s all that’s left me now,“I ’ll help you. The scoundrels 1 Try-

ing to get me to kill a blood relation! I ’ll help you, and you’ll find I ’m ot more use than I look. ”

Whereupon the dwarf bustled back to the stove, leaving our hero to examine the papers at his leisure.

To his intense astonishment, Cole found that ten days ha I elapsed since he had received the iujuries which so nearly resulted in his death.

These, coupled with the worry and ex­citement which for more than twenty- four hours had proceeded their infliction, had proved too much for human nature to endure, and brain fever had resulted.

Wilh absorbing interest and as much composure and resignation as he could command, the invalid devoured so much of the tile of papers as related to the Bt. Cyr case, taking, them iu the order of their appearance.

Much that he read was, as he well knew, the invention of the reporter who wrote it, whiles almost everything waa sadly iumb ed np and distorted.

He learned that the guilt of himBelf was undisputed, that he was being eager­ly sought after by the ponce, and that no one else was suspected, though he was known to have had”an accomplice.

Detective Hyland had survived the bul­let wound; in fact, it waa not -nearly' so severe as was at first supposed, but re­mained in a half dazed, passive condi­tion from which it seemed impossible to arouse him. Physically be was almost well, b it the hospital physicians held out no hopes of his ultimate mental re­covery.

Tbe house where Hyland had been shot was believed to have been fitted up and ocdtipied by Cole Winters. Numer­ous disguises, to ether with some burg­lars’ tools aud stolen property found

. there, had served to still more firmly es­tablish the guilt of the reader.

As to Be. mice St. Cyr, bar hero read of her through eyes wet with.team.

The accounts stated th a t she.had >«- ceived a note on the evening after her father’s death from Cole Winters, in­forming ber that he waa lying at the point of death, and asking her to come to him.

She bad maintained the innocence o t the youug man, and had impulsively complied. She had been driven away in a back, and did not re­turn. All efforts to find the hackman had failed, and she was believed to havf been abducted by the desperate oriminal. Cole Winters. The note, said by experts to be in the handwriting of the young man. she had left behind her. I t wae then in the hands of tb£^*olioe. and made another link in the already strong chain of evidence that was expected to haug our hero. ....

The paper of next to the latest team, contained the artiele whose sensational head-Iines had completely upeet the reader. ,

I t appeared that the body o t a woman found floating in tha Chicago Kiver had ' been shown to be that of the missing heiress. The identMo it ion had been complete, though it rested mainly on the, cloak and hat found oo tha body, as to the fftontity ot which there was ao shadow of doubt

With an awful sinking ot th* hfart

Cole learned, also, that he was now as- eused of tbe murder of tha daughter as well as that of the father.

Exactly what his motive had been in the commission of this last crime, no one seemed able to define, but the authorities were said to be confident that he was the guilty party.

The paper of that morning told of the immense funeral of the unfortunate young lady, at which the elite of Chioago were present.

W ith a groan of anguish the unhappy invalid learned that, in tho absenoe of blood relatives, Almon Bears, spoken of as a young man whom Mr. St. Oyr had educated and to whom he was muoi) « t taohed, had appeared as chief mourn e¥.

“The double-dyed villain!” oried Cole, fairly tearing the paper in hia uncon­trollable anger and intense disgust.

Further down in the column he read that Paul St. Cyr had died intestate, leaving, by the operation of the law, his entire eBtate to his daughter.

Now a young lawyer had came forward and probated a will executed by the heiress, bequeathing and devising all that she might die possessed of “to Almon Sears, of Chicago.”

“That was the paper he forced her to sign, ” commented Cole, bitterly. »

The young lawyer and a private banker named Max Morris, the article went on to state, were the witnesses. The will had been admitted to probate and letters testimentary issued to Bears, the appoint­ed executor.

Whatever doubt of the death of his be­loved Berenice love and hope had oaused to linger in the breast of Cole Winters vanished as he read about the alleged will.

‘ I have never heard or read of anything bo infamous!” said he, when he had mas­tered the entire account. “But I will tear the mask from his false, cruel face, deprive him of the fortune, and send him and his diabolical accomplices to the gallows! I will, as true as my name Is Cole W inters!”

“Thunder!"Jerry Moore dropped the dish of food

he had prepared to the floor and sprang to the bedside.

“I t ’s nothing," said Cole, who at once realized tbe mistake he had made.

“Got 'em again, have you? I thought those papers would beat the idea out of you, but it don’t seem to."

“Were you ever a newspaper reporter?" "I should hope not! I ’ve done some

pretty mean things for Morris and oth­ers, but I managed to keep out of that!"

“Well, literary work develops the im­agination. When I'm working or th ink­ing on a case, I assume—in my mind, un­derstand—the identity of the injured party." - 1

“And that makes you th ink harder, and wickeder?"

“Exactly."“And you don't think yon’re this Cole

Winters?”“Not at all. Don't I know that I ’m

Milton Moore, your nephew/'“Good!” shouted the dwarf; seizing his

hand. “You’re idea’s a good one, ana I'm going to try it on myself some time. You can call yourself what you please after this; I understand you now. We’ll Work up this m atter together, and I guess the boys’ll find Jerry and Milty Moore a pretty lively pair!”

C H A PTER X IX .VALUABLE AID.

This isn’t visitors’ day. ”“I ’m very anxious to see ”‘ Can't do it. You will have to come

to-morrow.”"But my business oan't wait until to ­

morrow."The scene was the office of the Cook

County Hospital, at Chicago, the time, four days after the events narrated in the previous chapter.

The colloquy was oarried on between the severe-looking official in charge and a well-dressed young gentleman, wearing a black mustaohe, small side whiskers and a pair of gold-rimmed speotioles.

“Whom do you wish to see?" asked the m an in charge, after having noted the gentlemanly appearance of h i i in ter­locutor.

"Matthew Hyland."“The detective?"“Yes, sir.”“Yon can’t do it.*“And why not, sir? I t ’i a matter ot

considerable importance. ”“Don’t you read the papers?” “Sometimes.”"Don’t you know that he’s in the In­

sane ward where nobody secs him except the doctors and attendants?"

“I heard something of the kind."“Then why do you come here?”“To see Mr. Hyland.”“Yo oan’t do it. I t would do yon no

good anyway. He hasn’t spoken a word since he was brought here two weeks ago."

“J know it. His wife th inks that if I were to seo him in private it might have the effeot of recalling him to himself.”

The young man concluded by handing the other a letter.

“Bhe does say that," responded the official, when he had perused it. “Well, you oan go up and state the mattor to the physician in charge. ”

Five minutes later the Doctor, a pleas­ant-faced gentleman, was reading tho note of Mrs. Hyland in which she re­quested that the bearer might bo permit­ted to see he*haslmnd privately.

“I t ’s an unusual request," commented the medical man as he twirled the paper in his hand. "Do you know him person­ally?"

"Yes, air."“Intimately?”

V "Not very; but I know of matters which his wife is certain will interest him sod, as she hopes, rouse him from the leth­argy into which he has fallen.", I ’ve known a surprise to have that effeot. Well, you can see him. He’s quite well, physically, now, and not at all violent. Indeed, in ordinary oases ha would not be retained h ere .”

“Good evening, Hyland."Thus the visitor greeted the detective

as he entered the small office to whioh the demented man had been previously

1 conducted.L Tha only answer was a vacant stare.I The caller looked about to determine 1 that they were surely alone, and stepped

oloser to tbe deteotiva. who had sunk heavily to a chair. *■ .«■

“Don’t yon remember me? h« asked. Still no response.“Look a t me nowl’Bifnnltaieously spectacles, mustaohe.

( and side-whiskera disappeared from the face of t lu visitor, and tbe face of our hero, C61e W inters, presented itself.

“Hare halts! hefe he is 1*] Mat HvlaUd h id broken his long si- I lance. He uttered the words in a loud, j penetrating tone. *

There was a sound of ikurrying foot­steps ia the apartment beyond, and a moment later the.,door was thrown open and the attendant appeared.

Thanks to his nimble fingers, Cole had been able to readjuat bis artificial em­bellishments in time to esaape detection. However, as he Rooked at In lan d aud noted in his eyes a look of intelligence that had been lacking a moment before, he feared tbat tbe detectlv* might apeak aad reveal His identity.

"W hat's wrong?* asked the attendant "Nothing. I've gotten him to speaks

» ■ r -. .

and believe he will come to himself com­pletely before long.”

He made a quick gesture, whioh the other understood, and at onoe quitted the room.

“Do you know me, Hyland?" asked Cole, as the door closed.

The other stared, but leas vacantly than at first, and this time he shook his head.

‘ I came on a professional matter.* oon­tinued our hero.

The other nodded as if he understood the meaning of the remark.

“Where are the St. Cyr bonds?"Cole asked this in what may be oalled

a stage whisper, to which, by his man­ner, he lent as great an air of mystery as possible.

The effect upon the deranged man wai wonderful. i

“That’s iti that's iti" he kept repeating. “Then you Jtnow?”“I know—nothing."“But you said "“What bonds?”“The St. Cyr bonds."*Ohl I ’ve been trying—trying----- * >“But you know where you put them?” “Yea, yes. I 'l l go with you. Where's

my hat?"‘You know me now, don't you, Hyland?" “Who are you?"“Cole W inters.”

j “NeVar heard of you."“B ut the bonds. You »—*“I 'l l get them! I must get theml I

oan see them now!"“Where?"“In a building, Never mind, I ’ll show

you. Order a haok. I 'l l tell him where to drive, Mr. St. Cyr.”

“B ut will they let you leave here?" asked Cole, who saw confronting him the greatest difficulty yet.

“Why not?”“You have been sick.”“That's so, and they watch me like I

was a crook with a jimmy. You go out and I'll be there soon enough."

“Don't say where you’re going?”“Don’t try to give pointers to me, boy.

I know my business! Go and do your part of it!

Cole doubted whether the impression made upon the still disordered mind of the detective was strong enough to en­dure, and cause him to find his way ont of the hospital, but he had no other course to adopt but rely on the chances of his doing so.

Accordingly, he quietly quitted the place and entered a close carriage in whioh he had been driven from the oenter of the oity, a distance of two miles and more.

The means for purchasing his new out­fit nnd proseouting his schemes for his own vindication, and the punishment of the murderers of Paul St. Cyr and his fair daughter, had been supplied by “Uncle Jerry," as he still continued to call the rather wicked old lunatic, througb whose fancied relationship he had escaped death.

His object in visiting Hvland had not been primarily the discovery of the hid­ing pluce of the missing bonds, but the restoration to his right mind of the br»ve officer, without whose aid he saw plainly that he was not likely to suoceed m establishing his innooenoe.

In accordance with his directions the hackuinn drove his horses Blowly up and down Harrison street, in front of the large county building.

Some tim e passed and the shadows of evening were beginning to gather beside lofty buildings and in narrow passage­ways. Our hero had about abandoned hope, and was thinking of some other way of seouring the co-operation of Hy­land, when, suddenly, he heard iwndiee, and saw the detective running toward the vehicle. ,

An instant later h/ had thrown open the door, the officer had entered, and the oarriage was being driven rapidly away.

“To the South Side,” said Hyland, laconically.

When that splendid driveway, Michi­gan avenue, was reaohed, he gave more specific directions and indicated a build­ing on a business street only two blocks from the house where he had received his wound, a fortnight before.

Arriving there, they at once quitted the conveyance and ascended to the third floor which seemed to be rented out for living apartments.

The deteetive produced a key, with with whioh he opened a door and ushered his companion into a small room, fitted up for a sleeping apartment.

This was a room which the detective bad rented for years. Ostensibly he slept there, though he seldom usod it, except as a convenient place for disguis­ing bimsclf.

Hyliind lit the gas, aud turned toward the bed.

At that instant a pair of eyes gleamed down npon the detective and his expect­ant companion from a dirt-begrimed transom above a door communioating with an adjoining apartment.

They were the same evil orbs that had glared through the library window of the St. Cyr mansion in Calumet avenue the night of the great tire iu the Exposition Building.

P r o fit Sharing1,

a new dispensa­tion cannot be predicted merely be­cause some converts have been made, but i t is certainly gratifying to note the increasing disposition o t the em­ployers to cultivate pleasant relations w ith their workmen. And in no way can pleasant relations be cultivated with a surer prospect of getting a good crop than through the agency of a substan­tia l pecuniary benefit. This does not imply mercenary motives on the part of a workingman any more th au in the case of any other class of people. All are striving for the m ighty dollar be­cause of the advantages to be gained by its possession. P rofit sharing must necessarily make a workman take a deeper interest in the operations of the concern employing him th an if he m erely received the m arket rate of wages, no higher and no lower than those paid in other works around him. —Metal Worker.

In the fall, when the cold rains and high winds come on, the American robin takes refuge in the deep woods aud th ick coverts, where he spends niucli of his time on the ground feeding and for shelter. Invariably a t th is season the ruffled grouse will be found associated w ith him. The grouse also loves tlie company of the chipm unk, or little ground squirrel, and they are frequently together around stum ps in old woods. W hile eating my lflncli one day, seated on a large stone just within the edge of the forest, I discovered a grouse on the hillside a short distance away. He was standing up beside a stump, the color of which was identical with that of his breast and under feathers. Two ohip- m unks were run ling around him. l ie rem ained in sight several minutes, when all three suddenly disappeared.

The grouse also seeks the presence of tb e red squirrel a t times, as the follow­ing incident will show; \\ h ile I was out among the Glenville H ills, a ruffled grouse broke from the dense cover iu front of me among the black alders in th e low grounds, and m ade straight for th e top-o( a deep gorge.

Shortly after I saw in th a t direotion away up on the hillside, an old decayed ■tump, and a red squirrel frisking about it. I stood for some tim e taking obser­vations, during wbich rov attention was m ore and more attracted to the antics of the squirrel. At last I caught sight of a small, dark object not more than an ineh in diam eter about midway up the ■tump. I t was b u t momentary gliuip-ea th a t I oould get of it, however, while the »quirrel kept up bis movements aa before. After this object had been seen I began to suspect th at there was an­other animal there, and that it was probably taking advantage of the p res­ence of th e squirrel to pass unnoticed. T h e littie red fellow at last took up a position, where he aat very demure and innnoent looking, eating a nut. Tbe hidden one did not ap)>ear , to I moved u p tbe h ill to investigate. As I neared tbe spot a grouse darted aw»y, and the aquirrel scrambled up a tr* » I h e

■mall, dark object I had seen had been the head of the grouse. By good luok and a snap shot X managed to stop him. He proved to be the “oock of the woods"— very wise and very old. Hav­ing no use for the squirrel I allowed him to escape. I heard him for some time after on his lofty perch chattering aw ay in apparent triumph at the success of his strategem.

l l o w O ur Havy U se d to Shoot.The proficiency of American gunnery

in this war is perhaps best illustrated by the Constitutions’s first action w ith the Gueriere, in which she was hulled but th ree times, while her antagonist, to use the words of her commander, was re­duced to a “perfect wreck” w ithin forty minutes from th e time the Constitution began to fire. This battle occurred on August 19, 1812.

In her action wilh the Java, Decem­ber 29, 1812, off the coast of Brazil, the Constitution was hulled but four times, and with the exception of her maintop- sail yard she did not lose a spar. The Java, on the other hand, was “totally dism asted,” while her hull was so shat­tered and pierced with shot-holes that it was impossible to get her to tbe har­bor of Sau Salvador, which was only a few hours sail.

Jn her action with the Cyane and Le­vant the forces opposed were s Consti­tution, 51 guns with 1,287 pounds of m etal; British, 55 guns w ith 1,508 pounds of metal. In this extraordinary action tlie Constitution was hulled only thirteen tim es, while the Cyane had every brace and bowline cut away, “her main and m izzenm asts left in a totter­ing state, and other principal spars wounded, several shots in tlie hull, nine or ten betweon wind and w ater.” The Levant wus also roughly handled.

Before dismissing the subject of gun­nery we should take into consider­ation : 1. The inferior quality of Ameri­can cannon and shot. 2. The deficiency in weight of American shot, 3. The faot thnt in two of the four actions be­tween single frigates the English used French cannon and shot, which were eight per cent, heavier than th e ir nom- inal English equivalents— Century.A 'f r a v o t e r ' s C u r io s i t y a n d H o w I t W a s

S a t ls i ie d .An American had tried several times

to engage th e only other occupant oi the com partm ent in conversation, but the latter, an elderly German, although he in his brief replies showed a good knowledge of English, was taciturn and went back to his book with a g ru u t after every interruption. As the tra in sped on its way toward B eilin the silence be­came more and more oppressive to the American. H e came from a p a rt of the United S tates where to hold one’s tongue is almost as deadly as to hold one’s breath, Boston. Six hours of silence were ahead of him un­less he did all the talking.

H e noticed on the seat beside his fel­low traveler an oddly Bhaped box, with what seemed to be holes punched in the top. This m ight be used to b ieak the ice, he thought, and he said in th e most polite way he could compass:

“Excuse me sir, bu t m ight I be al­lowed to ask what you have iu that box?”

A delicate weighing apparatus, built in Philadelphia for the U nited States G overnm ent has been completed and set up in -th e United States assay office in Now York. The balance is made to carry 10,000 ounces (equal to about 700 pounds avoirdupois) in each pan, and the contract stipulated that the scales m ust be sensible to 1-100 ounce when loaded to full capacity. When the balance was placed in position, a careful test was made, the pans being loaded with 10,000 ounces of gold bricks. The addition of un extra 1-100 ounce immediately moved the entire mass, and effectually demonstrated the rem arkable sensibility of th e machine. The perfection of th e working parts ol the machine is more rem arkable when it is considered that tho beam with its hanging and full load weighs nearly a ton. And yet a weight of less than five grains sufficed to move this ponderous mass. _____

F ifty millions of people on tbe three millions of square miles of territory do not constitute the United States of America. A million or so of people oe- oiiilying twenty-one thousand square miles did not constitute Greece. I t was the Greeks who constituted Greece; it is Americans who constitute America. So iqany people thrown together on one territory no more make a nation than bo many blocks of stone thrown together in a pile make a temple, or so many threads in a tangle a fabric.

Every nation has its own distinguish­ing features, its own type of character, its own consciousness, its own life. T o constitute a nation there must* be not ouly people and land and laws, but laws that are self-evolved, lite ature th a t is the expression of national life, langnage fitted to express th a t life, and therefore a li e to be expressed.

M a d e a H e r o o f .B u ffa lo B i l l .Apropos of Buffalo B ill, who has re ­

turned to this country from a successful tour in Europe with his W ild W est Show, this ex-scout and btifl'aly hunter would probably never have attained tho distinction he now enjoys JSad it not been for the famous Ned B*ntline, the story writer, who died about three years ago. The latter m et Mr. Cody in the W est a num ber of years since, and they became great cronies. Buntline admired Cody's dash and courage, his grace in the saddle, and his sk ill as a shot, and it occurred to the story w riter to lieroize him in fiction.

This he forthwith proceeded to do, the result being a h ighly sensational tale called “Buffalo B ill,” which ap­peared aerially in one of the story papers and became exceedingly popular among a certain class of people fond of blood curdling literature.

The last few years of his life Buntline spent in a handsome oountry seat,which he called “Eagle’s N est,” situatod in the outskirts of the village of Stamford, in the Catskills. The writer used to go on a fishing jaunt w ith Ned Buntline every summer to the so called Beaver- kin, where a plentiful supply of the Kpockled beauties could be secured if one went about it properly. He was an entertaining oompauion, brimming over with humorous and pathetic an­ecdotes picked up in a lifetime of ad­venture and travel in a ll climes.

Ned Buntline was a man who could have won brilliant spurs, in the higher walks of literature, b u t he preferred to write sensational stories, because as he was wont to admit, with a significant wink, thoy paid better.

J . Crespi contributes an interesting a r­ticle upon strange foods. “Seaweed,” savs Dr. Crespi, “is eaten on th e coasts of "Scotland and Ire land in vast quan­tities, and though unpalatable and flavorleas, is at times tho chief food of some of the poorest. W hen dry i t is richer than oatmeal or Indian corn in nitrogenous constituents, and takes rank among the most nutritious ot vegetable foods. L aver is an exception to the low estimation in whioh seaweed is held, and is a favorite eoudim ent W e have known it eaten in large quantities in North Devon, and with great relish.

To prepare seaweed for the tab le it should be steeped in water to get rid or tbe salt with whioh i t is impregnated, and a little carbonate o t soda remove* the b itte r taste, wbich to s,.me palates is most disagreeable. I t should then be stewed in milk o r water till muci­laginous, and is best flavored with vine­gar or pepper. F ung i are almost every­where largely eaten, though in England less attention is paid to them than they deserve, and few kinds appemr at table.

A curious error is to' suppose that fungi are eatable and toadstools poison­ous. No suoh line of demarcation ex­ists, nor, atriotly speaking, has the name toadstool any precise meaning. Very many fnngi are edible, and the common agaric usually eaten in E n g ­land is not the m ost palatable and wholesome. Few foods a re mote savory, and none are grea te r favorite*, than weil-oooked fungi, and th* soula ol vegetarians yearn for them .
