A Maine justice of the peace used this
ceremony ai a mock wedding.

A Bride's Dowry in Inbia.
One of the danghters of Meer Goolam i
/ Baba, Newab of Snrat, has just been
married, and this is what the people ;
3aw who gathered to watch the bride's '
dowry carried to the bridegroom's house:
j?- ? A cavalcade of elephants, horses, carriages
and palkees led the procession. ;
After them came a number nf female !
Bervants, all in snow white clothes, each
Rearing in her hands a covered tray.
About fifty youth3 followed with rose
fc water dec inters of silver on silver
ir*-" salvers. Then came 500 coolies, some
with magnificent bedsteads, with curtains,
piliocs, etc., others with swings,
benches, boxes, cupboards of various
designs, sofas, chairs, tables, and, in
V.. phort, all the paraphernalia of a modern
house. These were followed by seventy
iivfcj women, t-acu uaixyuig ? uav ux

: ? A 5IodeI Woman.
Of a lady who died in Pittsb urg, Pa.
- $ short time ago the CommercialGazette
says: '-She was a model woman
in all the relations of life, whether as
daughter, wife, mother, sister, friend or
Christian. She was a model in her
fchonghtf alness and care for her parents
ia their declining years. She was a
model in th? confidence she t>laced in !
her husband and her interest in his j
| . success. She was a mo3 el in the affec- i
tion she bestowed on her children and !
her solicitude for their souls' salvation, j
She was a model in the example she |
set for her sisters to follow. They were
all disposed to take her as fuch. She
was a model as a fri-nd, in that she was
*a friend at all times.' She was a model
in the cons?3tent, godly life she
lived and .the ipeacefnl, triumphant
death she uied. She -was altogether
unselfish,' she was kind, she was
benevolent, she was charitable. She
was forgiving, she was meek, she was
nam Die, sae was unristian-JiKe, sue
~ ^-believed, she trusted, she worked, she
made home happy, and, when a stranger
entered the home circle to sojourn for
a little, it ?as but a little while until
E|k. he felt he was In the sunshine. She
was never idle, and tht> work she had to
do at hoine, in the church or institutions
for charity, she did well"
Not less than ninety per cent of the
women and five per cent, of the men of
the United States wear more or less
false hair. The enormous consumption
of the artificial and natural pro
duct suggests the fact, fearful but true,
that nine women out of every ten about
Hue street, m cue cuiucu or on me cars, ;
charming or ugly to a line, have on a
wig or a weft, a baodsau or a prepared
net, bangs or waves, arranged at the
hair-dresser's.
Some people think that blondes never
grow . gray-headed. The fact is, onethird
of white shreds may be mingled
with stich hair and few will notice it.
The same proportion of blonde-headed
people turn gray as those with any
other colored hair.
The proportion of people who dye
their hair is also, surprising. Some
twenty per cent, are taid to do this.
Of course the greater proportion of
these people are white-haired people.
? A white head is often, though not
always, a sign of a life of trouble.
The dresser is more than often
amused by requests from the country
course, comprise an article that "will
curl easily by application of water, and
are easily supplied. Cnrly hair has
been the fashion for a year or more.
Of the two, human hair is the most
called for. "Hair raising" is a sort of
industry in Europe. The peasant ^irls,
who are mnch in the open air, get their
heads cropped once a year, and thus
furnish a portion of the supply. They
jpjf - are satisfied with a stipend so small that
an American woman would scorn to touch
six times its value. Of the material imported.
France suDDlies half the trade.
iand England and Germany divide the
rest. The raw material finds its way
here on this side in great quantities,
and is made up here on this side of the j
water. The business is young yet in i
this country. j

FARS, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Se?dlcs Down Grass.
The method of seeding down to grass
depend 8 somewhat npon the kind of
soil and the season. As a rule it is best
to seed down with grass-seed alone, in
the early fall about the middle of
August, and sow half a ponnd of turnipseed
with the grass. Timothy and
clover more often make a good catch
in this way than when sown with or
upon grain, or even alone in the spring.
Spring sowing had better be done with
oats or barley, as a dry time in June or
Jc'.y will eoon destroy the young grass
if it is exposed without protection to
the full force of the hot son. Springsown
grass cannot be mowed the same
season. But fall-sown grass may, especially
if it is orchard-grass. An excellent.
mixture of grasses for sowing
alone in August is five pounds timothy,
ten pounds orchard-grass, three pounds
meadow fescue, three pounds each of
yellow and tali oat grass, and five
pounds of red-top per acre. This makes
a dense sod and gives early and a late
mowing of pasture.
Fattening Swine.
"in lattenmg swine tnev onen reacn
a point where corn fails to satisfy, bnt
lictle corn is consumed and the hogs do
rot increase in weight. The tronble is
that the corn is too hard for fattening.
Then try soaking it for twenty-four
hours before feeding. This is cheaper
than grinding and cooking, and it is
claimed to be better for fattening swine.
In soaking com it develops a sweetness
similar to that found in green corn and
called glucose. Corn in this state is
much relished, and is very fattening.
In a dry state this sweetness remains
undeveloped."
In the culture of corn,'where planting
is confined to distances not exceeding
two, to two and a half feet between
the rows and hills, the corn thrives better
and suffers less from drought than
where the distances are four feet. Ooe j
main reason why corn grown so closely ]
is superior in growth is because the
ground is shaded and evaporation pre- I
vented the plant acting to a certain extent
the part of a mulch. One reason
why the frequent use of the cultivator
is so highly beneficial is because it
breaks up the continuous capillary
tubes in the ground that facilitate the
evaporation of moisture and transforms |
the upper layer of soil into a sort of
loose mulch.?[Western Agriculturist.
Test for Seed Corn.
The Prairie Farmer offers the following
as a test relative to the vitality of
seed corn:
"The seed will be plump, bright, and
without any wasted appearance in the
'skin' where the grains come together.
If the grain is cut across, or if carefully
peeled down, the 'chit' (germ) will
show the same bright, fresh appearance.
Such seed placed between the folds of
moist cloth or pressed into soil in a
flower pot, moist at a temperature of
.seventy to eighty degrees, should
germinate in three days. There is one
point, however, to be remembered in
the germination of seed, that is, the
older the seed the slower it germinates,
3 -1 * 1 ??? Jfc TTT1 t 1
&UU R1SU, as tk ruic, tuo xcoo iu n;u
develop as a plant; yet the seed-bearing
qualities do not thereby seem to bs injured.
On the contrary very often the
seed yield of a plant is diminished by a
too luxuriant growth, and from a wellknown
law.
"It is well-known that the Indians
had a erode but pretty sure way of
saving seed com. How was it ? Husking
it when ripe, hanging it up in the
wigwam in the smoke of the fire, and
just before' winter burying it, secure
from moisture, in the ground. A more
civilized and better plan is to husk per-,
fectly ripe and bright ears, select the
best, trice them up in a dry, airy bft
secure from mice and otiier vermir.."
Floors for Hone Stables.
The long debated question as to the
best material for stable floors is being
again revived. A clay floor was adhered
to by some for years, and such was the
earnestness of its advocates and the
many arguments brought to bear upon
it that we w*re induced some twenty
years ago to try it. In three or our
months we had the planks back again,
being satisfied of the disadvantage of
clay for this purpose. Our present floor
of plank is simpiy inclined a little from
front to rear, where the usual gutter is
made to carry off the liquid voidings.
We do not believe in sand, -coal ashes,
sawdust, asphaltum, flags, cobblestones
or any of these modern devices to injure
horses. Thus far we have never noticed
that this little inclination was in any
way injurious, and we doubt whether
the wooden grating that we frequently
see placed over the planking that some
use would be advisable on the ground
! that the animal wonld be more comfcr:
table, while this movable grating or
second floor might lead to accidents.
When a person can keep horses in a
good, sound, healthy condition for five
to seven years, as we have done, on a
carefully constructed plank flooring inclining
a little to the rear, it is just as
well to be satisfied with it. Do what
one will, holes will be dug by the stamp|
ing of the feet in the clay, and these will
be filled with moisture, which will
np^Ac;qa.riiv rpisnlfc in scratches, auarter
crack, etc. If the clay is leveled ofi
and beaten down daily it will make no
difference. Sometime ago we visited a
number of stables where many horses
were kept, and we encountered only
one which was composed of anythiDg
bnt wood. Of course there will be new
things?inventions?springing up which
are to meet and overcome every objection,
and there will be some to adopt
them, but we shall be satisfied with
what we have until there is something
produced about which there will be no
mistake.? [Ge:rmantown Telegraph.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Early ripening fruit is the first to
decay.
Lime water is said to be a safe and
. effective remedy for the little white
* worms found in the soil of flower-pots.
j In order to prevent tne spread oi
I disease, it would be advisable not to
I overfeed, or overtrain the colts, but to
| gradually develop their speed, so as not
to weaken their bodily powers before
they are matured.
"When liquid manures are too much
dilnted frnit trees are injured by being
compelled in seeking nourishment to
take up more water than they need. On
the other hand, too concentrated solutions
occasion a decr^ of the loots.
A few sheep could be kept upon every
dairy farm with profit, and would l>e a
~ " * A? At i
benefit to tna pastures, eating mac
which the cows reject, and when in
winter quarters they would eat much
the cows refuse, and so would be of vsrv
, small extra cost.
Fine butter can only be obtained by
churning at a favorable temperature.
If the temperature of the cream is too
low the butter will be long in coming,
: and will be hard in texture. If she
| temperatare is too high the butter will
come very speedily, but the product
I will be greasy, destitute of grain and
: deficient in quantity.
The seeds of golden millet form an
I excellent grain for feeding chickens
during the first three weeks of their
lives. Very small chicks need very
small seeds, as is shown by their constant
search for tjie minute seeds of
grass. Nature is the best- teacher.

| To grow verbenas successfully plant
them in beds cnt in the tnrf. Chop the
turf well, and thoroughly mix with it a
good share of well-decomposed stable
j manure. Never, on any account, plant
j verbenas in old and worn-out garden
soil, as they will most assuredly fail.
Give them a chaDge of scil each season,
as they do not thrive well two years ir
the same bed. As a house plaat the
verbena is not a success. It is almost
always sickly and infested with red
spiders. They cannot be kept ovei
winter in a cellar. With verbenas it is
either growth or death.
Keep nursing ewes by themselves and
five scalded bran or oatmeal daily,
Sugar beets or potatoes, sliced and
i sprinMei with & qaatfc of middlings 01
bran for each ewe, will produce abundant
and rich milk. Keep lambs inhere
they will have plenty of sunshine. When
rough, sheddy wool appears in the
fleeces, or the wool drops off in locks,
the sheep are not healthy, or the food
has been too dry and heating. Stop
the corn meal and give some linseedoil-cake

Give sa.lt frequently and freely.
A Canada farmer says: "Carbolate of
lime is an article not sufficiently known
by fanners and gardeneis. I find it a
sure remedy for potato bug* and cabbage
worms. Once dusting lightly from
a dredging-box cleaned the vermin
from my potatoes, cabbages and cauliflowers.
None but a good quality
should be used. Although the greater
quantity required may make it cost as
much for an acre as Paris green, yet it
has the advantage of not being poisonous."
Household Hints.
(jrratea apples mate a delicious addition
to muffins. Allow three good-sized
apples to one tin of raufficis. Make the
muffins as usual and tne last thing stir
in the apple. Mix it evenly, so that
there will be an equal quantity in each
muffin.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly,
put in a pinch of salt. The cooler the
eggs the anicker they will froth. Salt
C00I3 and also freshens them.
If the collar or cuff be too stiff to
button easily, pass the fiDger a little
dampened with water to the buttonhole
and jou will havo no further
trouble.
A palatable drink for a fever patien
is mad6 by peeling and slicing some
good tart apples, scattering white sugar
over them and pouring boiling water
over them. When cold, pour off the
water, and drink.
! To keep your Knives and forks from
[ rasting, make a flannel bag, and stitch
from top to bottom, an inch and a half
ap^rfc, a dozen times, making a receptacle
for each. Roll, and keep in a dry
place.
Never hem a braize or tissue veil with
sewing silk ; take some of the ravelj
ings of the material, thread a coarse
needle with it and hem the veil. The
stitches will not show at all if small
ones are taken.

This is suitable to serve cold for tea, or
warm for dessert. Send it to the table
in enps or glasses, with a spoonful of
jelly or jam in each cnp.
Apple Ptdding.?Make a paste with
j eqnal quantities of sifted flour and
! finely chopped suet, a pinch of sa.lt
and a little water. Roll it out thin into
a large piece, place this over a wellbuttered
basin, and carefully push it in
so as to linft the basin with it; cat it
off all round so as to leave enough to
fold up. Roll out the trimmings to such
a size as to cover the top of the basi a.
Jt tU'Oj WiD, auu oix^c a vi
sound apples, put them in the basin
with brown sugar to taste, and either
some chopped lemon peel, two or three
cloves or a little grated nutmeg; add a
small piece of fresh butter, pack the
apples tightly in, put on the cover of
paste, turn up the edges and press them
down, tie a floured pudding-cloth over
and put the basin iato a saucepan full
of boiling water, which should come
well over the pudding. Boil from two
to three hours, according to size.
Meat Pudding.?Take five pig*'
faces, and have them scraped and
singed nicely, then put them into a tub
of water, and throw in a handful of
salt. Lat them remain so for two days
or more, changing the water every day.
Some persons add a few skins taken
from the backbone. Have ready about
two pounds of beef liver. When tha
maat is hoiled tander. take it ud and
rtmove all the bones. While thus
preparing it, put in the liver to parboil,
and then chop all very fine, if you hav;
no sausage-grinder. Season with salt,
I pepper, and allspice to yonr taste. Two
table spoonfuls of each wxvill probably
answer. Most people make a kind of
sansage of this preparation by stnJing
with it pig entrails of the largest kind,
If those of beef, which are still better,
of thns made, boil a short time beforu
storing, in order to cook the ontside,
which will make it keep longer. Fried,
however, jast as sansage.. it is very nico
for persons who can partake of rich
dishes, and vhen freshly made, in cold
weather, is a favorite breakfast dish
with many. This recipe is of German
origin, undoubtedly, but common in
wide districts of onr country.
The Queerest Village in the World.
There is a little town or village ii.
Holland, a few miles from Amsterdam,
called Brnek, pronounced brook,
"Broek in "Waterland."
It kd3 teen famous, nobody ran tell
how long, for its cleanliness; and not
only that, but for the fanciful style of the
houses and yards and gardens and
streets. The people, thoagh only
peasants, are all rich, and all feel a
pride in their town; it seems to be the
great business of their lives to keep
their houses freshly painted, their
gardens in perfect order, and theii
yards and streets as clean as a parlor.
No carts are allowed in the streets
and no cattle. Ttough the raising of
stock and making butter and cheese is
their occupation, a stranger would never
imagine that there were any cattle in
the region, unless he W9nt to the beautiful
green meadows back of the houses,
or the stables out there where the cows
are kept in stalls scrubbed and washed
like a kitchen.
The streets are too fine and nice for
the feet of animals to step on; all paved
with polished stones, intermingled with
bricks of different colors, and kept so
scrupulously clean that a lady could
walk anywhere in white satin slippers.
Every house has a little yard in front
but no shrubs or vines or flowers in it,
or even a tuft of grass. They are all
carefully paved with colored stones in
the figures of animals or birds or trees
or tulips, or something in designs
which make one think of some of the
monstrosities one sometimes sees in
heartn rugs, sucn as scarlet Dears, green
horses, blue trees and the like.
The houses ar9 painted in the bright
est colors, ju3t as the owner fancies; in
vermilion, pea-green, pink, purple,
orange or anything else that is gay and
gorgeous and queer; and the roofs are
covered with tiles varnished till they
shine like new silver.
Every day the stones in the yard are
washed and polished, and slippers are
placed at the door so that any one going
in, stranger or dweller there, must take
| off his boots or shoes before setting
, foot in the house. Inside, everything
is as clean as constant scruoomg ana
!! painting and varnishing and rubbing
! and polishing can make it. The floors,
j of black and yellow marble inlaid, are
! kept slippery as glass from so much
j friction ; all the wocd-work glistens,
1! and everything that is made of metal is
1 i dazzling as burni jhed brass. There is
I nothing in all the world like it.
1 There are large gardens between the
' houses, where there are trimly laid-out
1 beds of such choice flowers as tulips and
hyacinths and the rarest of bulbs; and
1 all about are set up images as grotesque
1 as heathen idols; and thesfc are io
! keeping with the strangeness of everyI
i.v:

Carious Types of Human Nature.
To study man, we must use the old
adage of the classic philosophy?"divide
and conquer." Here are races, sex,
color, languages country, size, age, education,
condition of servitude, development
of the nation, government, and a
hundred other scientific means of classification.
These, however, aie terms
better known to science pure and simple
than to us who pursue the study of
mankind with our eyes open.
Suppose, among the people whom we
meet, we select the most curious and
striking of the classes of them as they
annear and are known amoncr common
people. Here slang may take the place
of vernacular, or rags and poverty be
the garb of some of their spscies. They
are yet mankind,'despite their disguises,
and as truly belong to the rude classes
of men as the barbarian and the savage.
Before us then pass in review five outcasts?the
tramp, the "hoodlum,'' the
"beat," the "gamin," the street Arab.
The tramp is a demoralized man. He
is full grown, and has once been a man,
with capacities for usefulness, with some
considerable education. I never saw
an "ignorant" tramp, but his faculties
have by some excess, or by some waste
of vitality, slowly slipped away from
him. He is not capable of committing
any organized crime, or any mischief
requiring forethought and calculation.
He is an impulsive animal, comparatively
harmless when not roused to
frenzy, but utterly untrustworthy and
wholly good for nothing. There is no
hope whatever of his reformation.
The "hoodlum" is a boy. He may,
by slang language, properly be called
a "kid." Irresponsible, genial, cheiry,
cordial, witty, innocent withal, and
perfectly trustworthy when his affections
are wholly engaged, he makes a
most promising pupil in any science
which he is ready to master, and is a
hopeful subject for reformation, if he
| will stand the training. Bat he is tent
Ja* J tm* 11 i^arrm rtnrl ah 4>a/\

strong pressure.
The "beat" differs from the tramp
in that he does not wander from place
to place. He selects his field of operation,
goes deliberately to work, plans to
get his dinner or his privilege?for
nothing, of conrse?and generally accomplishes
his object. He can be easily
managed, and is rarely offended by
plain talk.
The "gamin," a French importation
stays anywhere, goes to the Theatre
Comiqne, where he whistles, applauds
is delighted above measure by the good
things he sees. He sells newspapers,
blacks boots, tells the truth when to his
own interest, disappears at fifteen years
of age, goes, nobody knows where; but
his place is speedily filled by another
done very little with. All boot-blacks
are not gamins, but very respectable
people generally.
The street Arab is a wild animal. In
a crowd, he is npon the edge thereof.
When a fight occurs, he is either a spectator

or herring, yet which is rarely or ever
seen. If it could be got it would be a
fine food fish, and add greatly to the
market supplies on the Eastern coas$
It is known as the tile fish, and ic
abounds along the western edge of the
| Gulf stream, in seventy-five fathom
water, of a temperature between forty
and fifty degrees- Attention has recently
been attracted to this fish by the
fact that something has occarred in the
ocean's depths to kill great numbers of
i them. Along tho coast from Sandy
! Hook to Nantucket, myriads of tile
j fish were found dead during Mirch
j last. It is a mystery what caused their
! destruction. The scientists are puzzled.
I This is not an usual phenomenon. In

j leagues and leagues _of sea covered
I with dead haddock. I his was on the
i coast of Norway and Sweden,
I and for three years haddock, before
, i abundant in these regions, was very
I scarce. Is it not provoking to think
that this tile fi9h, which could be made
! so useful as food for man, cannot be
caught ? At least it has not been caught
so far, and is barely known to pisciculturists.
If ever man should obtain as
complete a knowledge of the bottom of
the sea as he has of the surface of the

! there are tens of thousands of varieties
i j of fishes and submarine animals that
i might serve for human food. No doubt

THE CAYE 1'JES
Interesting Account ?f a Pre-Hlstorlc K?ce
of Men who Lived In Cave?.
The bones and implements of the
cave-men are found in association with
remains of the reindeer ;ind bison, the
arctic fox, the mammoth., and the woolly
rhinocerous. They are found in great
abundance in southern and central Engines*

zerland, and in every psirt of France;
but nowhere as yet have their remains
been discovered south of the Alps and
Pyrenees. A diligent exploration of the
pleistocene caves of England and
France, during the past twenty years,
has thrown some light upon their mode
of life. Not a trace of pottery has been
fonnd anywhere associated with their
remains, so that it is quite clear that
the cave-men did not make earthenware
vessels. Borntclayisa peculiarly
indestructible material, and where it
has once been in existence it is sure to
leave plentiful traces of itself. Meat
was baked in the caves by contact with
hot stones, or roasted before the blazing

by friction between two pieces of wood,
or between bits of flint and iron pyrites.

bisons, reindeer, bears and other animals,
rudely sewn together with threads

gloves were used, and necklaces of
shells and of bears and lions' teeth. The
stone tools and weapons were far finer
in appeiirance than those of the riverdrift
men, though they were still chipped
and not grrund. They made borers
and saws as well as spears and arrowheads;
and besides these stone implements
they nsed the spears and arrows
headed with bone, and diggers of reindeer
antlers. The reindeer, which
thus supplied them with clothes and
weapons, wau also slain for food; and,

the coast of lie Bay of Biscay, and in
the rivers they speared salmon, trout
and pike. They also appear to have
eaten, as well as to have been eaten by,
the cave-lion and cave-bear. Many details
of their life are preserved to ns
through their extraordinary taste fcr
engraving aid carvin?. Sketches of
reindeer, mammoth, horses, cave-bears,
pike and seal and hunting scenes have
been found by the hundred incised upon
antlers or bones, or sometimes upon
stone; and the artistic skill which they
show is really astonishing. Most
savages can make rude drawings of ob
jects in which tfcey feel a familiar interest,
but such drawings are usually grotesque,
like a child's attempt to depict
a :man as a ciort of figure eight, with
four straight lines standing forth from
the lower-half to represent the arms and
legs. But the cave-men, with a piece
of sharp-pointed flint, would engrave
on a reindeer antler an outline of a urns
so accurately l;hat it can be clearly distinguished
from an ox or a bison. And
their drawings; are remarkable not only
for their accuracy, but often equally so
for the taste and vigor with which the
subject is treated.

living, there arenone which possess this
remarkable artistic talent save the ?ski

plete similarly between the Eskimos
and the cave-men.
But this is by no means the only point
of agreement between the Eskimos and
the cave-men. Between the sets of tools
and weaponB used by the one and by
the other the agreement is also complete.
The stone spears and arrowheads,
the sewing-needles and skinscrapers,
used by the Eskimos are exactly
like the similar implements found
in tne pleistocene caves of Fiance and
England. The necklaces and armlets of
cut teeth and the daggers made from
antlers, show an equally close correspondence.
The resemblances are not
merely general, but extend so far into
details that if modern Eskimo remains
were to be put into European caves they
would be indistinguishable in appearnnoa

which are now found there. Now,
when these facts are taken in connection
with the facts that the cave-men were
an arctic race, and especially that the
musk-sheep, which accompanied the
advance of the <?ve-men into Europe, is
now found only in the country of the
Eskimos, though its fossil remains are
scattered in abundance all along a line
stretching from the Pyrenees through
Germany, Rusuia and Siberia?when
these facts are taken into connection,
the opinion of Mr. Dawkins, that the
cave-men were actually identical with
the Eskimos, seems highly plausible.
Nothing can be more probable than
that, early or middle pleistocene times,
the Eskimos lived all about the arctic
circle, in Siberia and Northern Europe
as well as in North America; tnat dur

period they found their way as far
South as the Pyrenees, along with the
rest of the sub-arctic mammaliau fauna,
to which they belonged; and that, as
the climate grew warmer again, and
vigorous enemies from the South began
to press into Europe and compete with
them, they gradually fell back to the
Northward, leaving behind them the innumerable
relics of their former presence,
which we find in the late pleistocene
caves of France and England. The
Eskimos, then, are probably the sole

Boats are the universal means of
conveyance and communication, and a
boat thns becomes a necessary adjunct
to every person's household. To its
dexterous use every child is trained.
Men, women and children are equally
accustomed. Perhaps the most common
nrm is a stout skiff about twentyfive
feet long, turning up very sharply
and high behind, like a Venetian gondola.
It is broad in the beam, and twothirds
of its length is housed over,
leaving a little flat deck in front and a
still umaller one behind. H hind

stands the wife rowing and using a
boat-hook to help their way through

used for business, passengers or cargo.

and domestic furniture; for, incredible
as it may seem, we soon see that each
boat is the home of a family?father,
mother, girls and boys, who are born
there, live there and die there. In the
daytime the.children and the iuiniture
are crowded into a space not over four
feet square; at night they can spread
over greater surface. I looked into
these homes with attention, aid never
could enough wonder and admire how
closely all was packed without seeming
to jostle or painfully crowd. Also,

come in proximity to boats whose little
inmates they know, they would?boys
and girls from five to twelves?jump
ont of their boat-house and c ive and
swim away to visit and gambol around
together; now free in the waier, now

that he was living on land or in the

I saw magnificent specimens of

like a platter, were over two yards in

Increase in the Circns Basiness.
Since I860, says a New York paper,
the improvement in circuses has been
great. In that year Lewis B. Lent,
proprietor of the New York circus,
which exhibited on Fourteenth street,
commenced traveling by rail. The innovation
was an important one, and the
other circuses were eventually compelled
to follow. Van Amburg's was
the last to leave the "road." Lent's
original train consisted of "12 cars."
He had no menagerie, but gave a fine i

{appeared in his circus. He did much to
elevate the business. He compelled the
perfcrmers to wear proper attire, and
would not permit vulgarity in speech
or action. Things have changed greatly
since Lent's circus train was whirled
through the country. Big circuses
nowadays require three trains aggregating
forty-five cars. Besides from three
to five cars precede them, the first by
four or fire weeks. Until law years
wagons were used for this purpose, but
these were not magnificent enough.
The catapult and electric light are late
additions. The employes are fed on
the ground by the circus managers, and
only the principal performers go to a
hotel. "Where forty horses used to be
the limit from two to three hundred
were employed before the circuses took
the rail. One tent this year will be

big circus amount to S3,500 a day.

than the earlier circuses. The adver-1

of a show. The size of the first bill
was thirty by forty inches, and now
some of them are fifty times as large.
It is almost as great a sight to see the '

a Fourth of Jnly celebration is not a j
much greater event than the appearance j
of a circus. The railroads run special j
trains with a coupon for the circus attached
to the ticket, people take a holiday
and come fifty or sixty miles, and
in the evening the showmen send up a
fire-balloon, discharge cannon, and set
off fire-works. There are not as many |

RESCUED FROM DEATH.
William J. Coughlln, of Soraervllle, Mass. says la the
fs.ll of 1S761 was taken with bixtdixc or the luxcs followed
by a severe eongh. X lost my appetite and Sesfc,
and was confined to my bed. In 157T i was admitted to
the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as
big as a half-dollar. At one time a report went around
that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told ma of
DR. WILLIAM HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS.
I got a bottle, when to my surprise, I commenced to feel
better, and to-day I feel better than for three years past.
I write this hoping every one afflicted with Diseased
Lungs will take DR. WILLIAM HALL'S BALSAM, and
be convinced that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. I
can positively say it has done more good thin all the
other medicines I have taken since my sickness.
