Forjfinf*.
This "wearisome fault of horses,
wherein they strike and click the hind
and forefeet, is sometimes caused by
ioo neavy shoeing. A very heavy,
avfkward shoe is not always a good
shoe. Lowering the feet is sometimes
a remedy. Much is due, also, to the
breaking of the young animal, and if
he has been made to forge, the remedy
should be applied as quickly as possible.
Keeping the head up is a good
idea. Horses prone to this idea throw
their forefeet back, lunge and do not
get themselves up in shape.
Enrichinc Orchards.
All young fruit trees, says the Country
Gentleman, which do not make a
growth of two feet for the longest
shoots in a season ncpcl n/lriitirvnal
stimulating with manure if the ground
is clean and well cultivated; or if they
stand in grass or happen to be encumbered
with weeds, good mellow culti-'
vation must be given them. This is j
the role for vcung trees, and the oest
time, if manure is applied, is late in
autumn or during winter, the earlier
the better. But manure appears to
do the most good on bearing trees, especially
apple trees, often giving good
annual crops where poor and biennial
crops were previously borne. Bearing
trees need not grow so rapidly as young '
trees, but if they do not take annual
shoots at least a foot long they need
xuvxc uiouuir, vi uutu luumue iuiuciu- i
tivation. The manure may be spread .
broadcast in winter, covering the whole '
surface.
Plum Culture.
In a discussion on plum culture, at
a meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural
society, it was stated that
Professor Cleveland, of Maine, saved
his plums by removing three inches of
the soil and covering with air-slacked ,
lime. One tree on which he tried this ;
remedy bore three bushels of fruit. !
Mr. Bates succeeded by sprinkling the
fruit, when damp, with air-slacked
lime. Others showered the trees with
lime wash. Another cultivator had
covered his trees with mosquito netting,
and obtained plums. There is no
doubt that some of these remedies owe
their partial efficacy to frightening
away the curculios, in working at the
trees to apply them. All the washes i
and dustincrs. including annlication !
. 0 7 "I-X
of diluted tar, must be repeated several
times, or as often as the rains wash
them off, and the labor required for
them is much greater than the regular
and quick jarring on iron plugs, w inch
we have recommended on former occasions,
and which have always proved
_ entirely successful.
Putting Away Tools.
The wearing out of farm implements
is, as a rule, due more to neglect
than to use. If tools can be well
taken care of, it will pay to buy those j
made of the best steel, and finished in I
the best manner; but in common i
hands, and with common care, such j
are of little advant age. Iron and steel!
parts should be cleaned with dry sand j
and a cob, or scraped with a piece of ;
soft iron, washed and oiled if necessary,
and in a day or two cleaned off with
a corn-cob and dry sand. Finally
paint the iron part with resin and
beeswax, in the proportion of four of
resin to one of wax, melted together
and applied hot. This is good for the
iron or steel parts of every sort of tool.
Wood-work should be painted with
v good, boiled, linseed oil, white lead and
turpentine, colored to any desired tint;
red is probably the best color. Keep |
the cattle away until the paint is dry i
and hard, or they will Hck it, with
death as the result. If it is not desired
to use paint on hand tools, the
boiled oil with turpentine and "liquid
drier/' does just as welL Many pre
fer to saturate the wood-work of farm. |
implements with crude petroleum
This cannot be used with color, but is
applied by itself, so long as any is absorbed
by the pores of the wood.?Agriculturist.
Hi :
The Best Cattle for Beef and Jlilk.
- The best breed of cattle for com- j
bined beef and milk purposes, says the j
able Rural New Yorker, is unques- j
tionably the shorthorn, but we must j
take the precautions to select such as I
come from what is called the milking
families. The cows of this class give j
very large messes of milk, excellent for j
cheese or butter. When aged and no
longer wanted for the dairy, they can :

De an eel on, put on to gooa ieea <uiu |
will then fatten very rapidly and make j
choice beef. The steers bred from j
these cows, when properly fed, attain j
great -weights at two and two and a
half years old, and may be fully matured
at three to four years old. They
? turn out first quality beef, which
brings the highest price both in the
home and foreign markets. These
great milking cows must never be
turned out to run with their calves,
unless they ire milked clem by hand
night and morning, for till the j
calf attains two to three months!
nf norft it. cannot take all its dam's '
milk, and in consequence of this it j
keeps the cow in great pain, and often :
spoils part -of the bag or one or more of
the teats by drying and caking there.
This retention also occasionally causes ;
a running sore, which it is very diffi-:
cult subsequently to heal. If the calf
is to be turned out to run with the
cow then select for your breeding such
as come from the shorthorn families,
which are only moderate milkers. At
the West these are preferred to the
great milkers because stock owners j
generally want the calves to be turned !
out to run with their dams. They
have so many animals on these large
farms or ranches the owners do nut
wish to be troubled about milking their
cows. They do not make butter
or cheese, the cattle being
raised only for beef, and consequently
thew want such cows as
give no more milk than the calf can
suck'clean, and thus prevent the bag
or teats from getting injured. At a
proper age the cow will wean the calf
herself when it can obtain a good liv*

breed 01 cattle are kept also for combined
beef and milk. They are very
Ifine in all their points, and of a pure
bright red color. They are not so large
as the shorthorns by one-fourth to onefifth;
but in consequence of this, and
being extremely active and hardy, they
will thrive and fatten on shorter and
rougher pasture than the shorthorn.
There are individual animals of some
other breeds which prove good for beef
and milk, but they cannot be depended
on with shorthorns and uevons. i ue
tHoIsteins are worthy rivals of the
shorthorns for the combined purpose
of beef and milk production, but
being much fewer in numbers they are
not so widely known.
A ChcmlNt on neiiiiRKC.
The Boston Journal of Chemistry is
high authority on all matters relating
tr> tho cy-v rvT- of farming. The follow
ing suggestions on the subject ;? en.
silage are credited to that journal:
There inconsiderable misapprehrnsicn
among"farmers as to just where
the saving is made. One hundred
pounds cr cue ton of good ensilaged
corn fodder contains n;ueh more nutriment
than the same weight of green
stalks, or its equivalent in the air-dried
' condition of the fodder. In all^ur experiments
in the laboratory and obserH:
vations in practical trials in the barn.
the conclusion has been readied that
the true value of silos does not consist
k. ; in any importantincrease of nutrimentin
fodder, but in the saving of expense
in'storing and feeding it. If there is
no saving in this direction ; if it costs
r as much in time and labor to ensilage
cornstalks as it docs to cut and dry
K then: in the 5eW, and when in the ham

. to cut and crush them, so that animals
i will eat them readily, then there is no
; advantage in ensilage.
It is a surprising fact that many, if
: not most, farmers believe that scmeI
thing valuable is lost in drying fodder:
| they believe that important constitu|
ents or rich plant-food go off witli the
i water. This is an error. All the
i moisture in cornstalks does not go off
! in field drying, and the air-dried
! plants which hold thirty or thirty-five
: per cent, of the original water in the
! green state will keep well when stored
for winter use. In drying grass or
j corn fodder the water is by far the
[ most volatile constituent, and as the
I solid material, or nutrient oortions. is
' held only in suspension in the watery
juices, the water evaporates, leaving
| behind the heavier and more valuable
particles. The disadvantage which exi
ists when ensilaged fodder corn is con!
trasted with the dry fodder is only ap|
parent, not real. Animals will eat, di!
gest and assimilate, and cows will give
as much milk, and oxen and horses
will do as much work when dried corn
fodder is fed to them as when fed with
the same ensilaged. If the dried corn
fodder is cut and crushed and moistened
with a little warm water, animals will
eat it up clean with as great relish as
they apparently do ensilage. There is
no advantage in ensilaging corn or
other kinds of fodder, unless it be in a
saving of expense, in time and labor,
and in convenience of feeding.
The conclusions which we have
reached irorri a careful consideration
of this subject are supported by recent
experiments at the Xew Jersey experiment
station, conducted under the supervision
of Professor Cook. His results
are of great interest to farmers,
ai.d coroborate the views upon ensilage
so often expressed in the Journal
and elsewhere. Professor Cook's exi
periments extend over a period of
nearly six months, and were made with
green fodder corn, air-dried, and ensilaged
corn. The experiments were
conducted in the barn in feeding cows
with the different forms of fodder, and
in the laboratory in testing results,
and they are in the highest degree
trustworthy. He sums up the results
as. follows:
First?When the o-rppn corn was
dried in stacks in the field, the lo^s
was less than it was when the corn
was packed in a silo.
Second?"When dried corn fodder
was cut and crushed it was eaten by
cows quite as readily and with as little
waste as ensilage.
Third?In three cases, the yield of
milk was not increased when ensilage
was substituted for drifd corn.
Fourth?In the mixed milk for
twenty days of one herd of cows, ensilage
caused no increase in the yield
of total solid matter in the milk, while
in another herd it caused a gain of
only seven per cent.
The opinions of those who have been
using ensilage in their farm barns during
the past winter are as a whole
favorable to the new form of fodder.
We have taken considerable pains to
investigate the nature of the contents
of silos, and the effects upon stock of
the food drawn from them, and are
prepared to say that all questions regarding
their safety and high profit are
not conclusively settled. It is probable
that the whole matter of ensilaging
crops will undergo a complete revolution
in a few years. The present expensive
silos may be fould not so well
adapted to the purpose as others of
cheaper construction. It is not probable
that ensilaging will fall into disuse,
but that better methods and
cheaper structures will supplant those
now in use.
Recipes.
Ginger Pop.?Take three-quarters
of a pound of white sugar, one ounce
of cream of tartar, one ounce of ginger
and the juice and grated rind of one
lemon. Put these all together in a
jar and pour over it all four quarts of
boiling water; let it stand until it is
lukewarm; then add one tablespoonful
of fresh yeast and nearly one
tablespoonful of wintergreen or sassafras,
let tliis stand for twenty-four
hours, then put in bottles, cork tightly
and seal; it will be ready for use in a
few days.
Coffee Custard.?Lovers of coffee
will find that a custard made after the
foliowing recipe is simply delicious; it
should be served with sponge and fruit
cakes: .Make a rich custarri ai xeasi
half cream; to a quart of cream and
milk allow four eggs if they are large,
five if small; sweeten to your taste;!
cook in a farina kettle; when done
stir in two-thirds of a teacupful of
cold coffee; the coffee should be strained
through a cloth, so that there will be
110 dark-colored specks in the custard.
If you fear chat the custard will not
be as thick as you like to have it you
may use a small tablespoonful of com
starch or of common flour.
Gingerbread.?Good plain gingerbread
is made of t\v o pounds of flour,
half a pound of butter, half a pound
01 sugar, two tablespoonfuls each of
cinnamon and ginger, one pint of molasses,
a teaspoonful of soda dissolved i
- * i
in a nail cup ui. ixuxa., ij. ?vu
have sour milk, use that, ancl add a
half teaspoonful more of the soda.j
Bake in very thin layers; mark each
layer with a fork in lines an inch
apart. The oven should be hot when
the gingerbread is put in.
Home-made Sauces.?Home-made
sauces help to keep the grocery bill
small, and they may be as appetizing
and even more so than anything we
can buy if made with due .thought.
A piquant horse-radish sauce is a good
relish with roast beef or with fish.
Take two teaspoonfuls of made mustard,
two of white sugar, a little salt
and vinegar enough to make the sauce
of the proper quality; pour this over a
teacupful of grated horse-radish root.
Excellent tomato sauce is made by
I peeling and cutting in small pieces a
; dozen large, ripe and juicy toj
matoes; add six small, green pej>
I pers and two medium-sized
j onions ; chop these very fine, stir in a
i coffee-cupful ot vinegar, two or three
tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, a heaping
tablespoonful of salt (more if your
taste demands it), a teaspoonful each
of ginger, cloves, allspice and cinnamon
; stew the tomatoes and all the
ingredients but sugar and vinegar for
an hour and a half slowly, add sugar
and vinegar five minutes before taking
| from the lire. Another tomato sauce
I is made of a peck of ripe tomatoes,
j two onions, half a dozen rod peppers,
j half a pint of salt, two tanlespoonfuls
i of black pepper, two of mace, two of
: ginger and two of allspice and cloves
| mixet1. Cut the tomatoes and onions
in pieces and boil for two hours ; when
cold stir in a pint of vinegar. This
is a sour sauce, and it keeps well.
Then there are delicious catsups of
tomatoes and of cucumbers : these are
a little more trouble to make as they
must be strained and carefully bottled,
l.ut they are so satisfactory that tire
trouble does not count for much, after
' all.

A Russian Romance.
Among the ladies of honor of the
; late empress Marie, of Russia, was
; one of her country-women, a young
; Hessian, of whom she was particularly
; fond. One evening, says a Paris c6>
j respondent, when alone with her
j sovereign, Mile. X. threw herself at the
! imperial feet, and, with many tears,
i avowed that she was loved by the
| grand duke Alexis and returned his
i passion, wherefore she besought her
! majesty to consent to their union,
j The imperial reply was an immediate
i order to the petitioner to retire to
| her family at Darmstadt and to the
I prince to join his squadron in the
! Baltic. Bat the august masters of
j Russia had not calculated upon the
! strength of true love. Mademoiselle
got away from her parents, or
more probably helped by them to make
the journey, took passage on a Cunard
steamer, and joined the man of her
choice in America, where they were
nrivatelv married. You remember
I the visit" of the grand duke to the Uni
ted States, of course, but neither you
nor any one else had an idea that he
was there on a sort of wedding tour.
j I am assured, though, that the facts
are as stated, but fancy that there is a
I chronological error, and that the episode
is of much more recent date.
I However that may be, the pair were
joined in holy wedlock, and the reI
ception of their marriage certificate
i raised a terrible commotion on the
! banks of the 2sTeva. Disgraces and
vicissitudes of all kinds followed the
exploit; Alexis was threatened and
cajoled to break off the "disgraceful
[ connection," but he held out bravely,
! and as the czars own airair wiui
the princess Dolgorouki came in
the nick of time to incline the paternal
heart to indulgence, Alexander II. finally
agreed to shut his eyes to his
son's situation, although sternly refusing
to recognize the legitimacy of the
marriage. Like the people in the fairy
tide, Alexis and his bride were very
happy, and now, at the solicitation of
the czarina, who appreciates the beauties
of a united household, -Alexander
III. proposes to give the marriage his
official sanction. Alexis is one of the
most distinguished members of the imperial
family, lie resembles, in many
ways, his uncle, the grand duke constantine,
and, believing himself much
superior, intellectually and physically,
t<> his brothers, for years pinned his
faith on the prediction of a gypsy, by
whom it was foretold that he would
some day be seated on the throne of
the Romanoffs. At one time, indeed,
circumstances seemed to point to the

I born of the czar (lied at Xice, the Grand '

seemed incapable of holding the scepter,
and gave no promise of becoming,
what he has become, thanks to his
wife, a deep thinker and earnest

mir, an effeminate pleasure-seeker,
i would have sold his birthright for a

Oysters.
j Xew York, writes "Hermit," in the
| Troy Times, is an oyster-eating city,
; and indeed always has been, and the
I legal enactments protecting oyster beds
| date as early as 1737, nearly a century
| and a half ago. Oysters are as cheap
j food as the market affords, and yet
i they are much increased in price. Ten
years ago they were sold by the cargo
j at fifteen cents a bushel, but now they
! are four times that price. The cause
of this advance is found in the fact
f that 6.000,000 of oysters are eaten in
j this city annually, while the export
I trade is immense. There are 400
| schooners bringing oysters from Virginia
to New York, the average cargo
' being 2,00(^usheLs. The oyster busi|
ness in this city employs 12,000 persons,
the most important being the
; '-stabber." The rapidity with which
j some of these fellows work is asi
tonishing, but it requires years of
practice. The cheapest place is a
small saloon near the foot of Spring
street, where a bowl of oyster soup and
two soda crackers can be had for five
cents. Ten cents per bowl is the price
in "Washington market, and the woman
who keeps this stand is getting rich.
I To meet inc wants 01 tue puui n uu
: cannot patron ize saloons there is a class
! of night peddlers whose business be|
gins with gas-light, and who obtain
! small oysters at a low price for this
purpose. It is curious to observe the
j similarity of the names by which this
j popular shell fish is known in all lanj
guages. For instance, there is tha
j German auster, the Dutch oester, the
i Swedish ostra, the Danish oster, the
| Russian ystritz, the Cornish estren, the
j Latin ostrea and the Greek osteon.
! Oysters when sent from the market to
j the customers' houses are always car
ried in pails painted blue on tne outside
and white on the inside, this being
one of the oldest customs in the trade.

HOW THE SIOUX INDIANS LITE.
Their Intelligence Increasing Under Civil!.,
zntion at the Expeatte of Their Physical
Powers.
I)r. F. J. Quinlan, who has been four
years physician to the Sioux reserva
tion, in Dakota Territory, gave a -NewYork
reporter the following facts in
regard to the Indians, their habits and
customs, and the present condition and
future prospects of the great Missouri
valley:
TV *,-,,.
Aiie oiuuA uauuu, ocuu
Quinlan, by way of introduction, " extends
from the ."Nebraska line on the
south to the Cannon Ball river on the
north, and embraces all that area of
territory from the Missouri river,
which forms its eastern boundary, 200
miles west. This vast territory comprises
the Sioux reservation, and included
within its boundaries are the
Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Santee, Cheyenne
and Standing Rock agencies.
rni _ .11 AO A A A
inese agencies contain m au ?o,-?w
Indians, divided as follows: Standing
Rock, 5,000; Red Cloud, 6,000:
Spotted Tail, 7,000; Cheyenne, 2,400:
Santee, 3,000. Standing Rock is about
sixty-live railes south of the frontier
town of Bismarck, on the west side
of the Missouri river. There is a romance
connected with the origin of the
name Standing Rock. The agency
buildings are on a plateau 150 feet
above the level of the water and about
ftait a nine irom tne oanK 01 me river.
As one reaches the agency proper at
the forks of one of the roads he sees an
upright column or rude block of stone,
from which the agency takes its name.
This stone is about three feet high and
eighteen inches in diameter at the base,
and it tapers toward the top. It is covered
with vermillion and other gorgeous
paints, and gayly decked with beads
and Iroquois shells. Strips of scarlet
list-cloth with feathers pendant, are
sometimes used as decorations, and
these together with the starinjr colors
attract the eye of the stranger, and
often fill him with wonder and amazement.
This stone is supposed to be the
petrified remains of a Ree Indian
woman who was of a very jealous disposition.
All this country once belonged
to the Ree nations, and is now
held by the Sioux by virtue of conquest.
This Indian woman's husband

the fields to have her usual 'cry,'
and not returning her friends sought,
her and finally found her petrified, as
they said, in a sitting posture with her
head resting on her hands.
"The Indians as a class are dirty and
lazy. They .live only in the present
and have no thought or care for the
future. All they want tu do is to eat,
sleep and dance. When food is plenty

to a famine with as much indifference
and cheerfulness as though it were a
feast. A -wonderful change for the
better, however, has been brought
about within the past eighteen months
through the energy and good management
of the agent at Standing Rock,
Major James McLaughlin. lie has
given matters there his personal super-.
vision, and the consequence is that
nearly all the Indians are industrious
and thrifty, their farms are well kept
and there is now every prospect of an
abundant harvest of com, oats, wheat,
potatoes and other crops. All the chiefs
and their tribes who with Sitting Bull
participated in the Custer massacre in
1876 are now peaceable and prosperous
farmers at the Standing "Bock agency,
the only notable exception being the
famous Sitting Bull, who is a prisoner
at Fort Randall, 250 miles south of
Standing Rook.
"Every tuo weeks the Indian with
his family receives from the government
his supplies of coffee, sugar, rice,
tobacco, bacon, baking powder, flour
and fresh beef, each child one day old
receiving as much as an adult. These
articles are furnished to the government
under contracts, and are all of the
best quality. Every year they also reg
ive clothing for themselves and their
families, cooking utensils and everything
else required for housekeeping;
also, among the industrious and successful
of the farmers, farming implements,
with improved mowing machines,
working oxen and other necessary
articles.
" The Indians of to-day are noi the
same as the Indians of fifty years ago.
.There are a great many forms of disease
not known to their ancestors; that
are now prevalent among them, such
as consumption scrofula and kindred
diseases. Many of these ailments have
been brought about by the many great
changes that have been forced upon
them?the climatic amerence in tne
country from what it used to be, the
bringing of the Indian in from his
wild life to the cramped and constrained
conditions of civilization?in
short, the crowding of them out of
their natural position has entailed upon
them many of the physical ills of their
more civilized neighbors and caused
them to deteriorate sadly from the
proud position they once held of perfect
health and robust physical manhood.
Hence the Indians are rapidly

attention of "he physician.
" In point of social condition, however,
the Indians of the Sioux reservation
are decidedly on the road toward
improvement. There are at Standing
Rock two schools?one for boys and one
for girls. Ths former is under the
care of the Benedictine Brothers, and
the latter of the Benedictine Sisters.
There are in all about 100 pupils in the
two schools-?half-breeds and fullblooded
Indians. All are instructed
thoroughly in the common branches of
English education, the boys in addition
being taught farming, and the girls
sewing, knitting and different household
duties. At the proper age they
are allowed to marry, and the govern
ment sets them up in life, with household
furniture, farming implements,
etc. There are on the reservation
many half-breeds, and these all enjoy
the same privileges as the Indians.
In my opinion much of the mischief
done by the Indians is due to the
influence of the half-breeds, who possess
the shrewd, sly cunning of the Indian,
mixed with the superior intelligence
of the white man?a very unfortunate
mixture under the circumstances.
There are two licensed traders,
whites, who are under the supervision
of the government and who are compelled
to deal honestly and fairly with
the Indians. Xo intoxicating liquors
are allowed to be sold to them, under
severe penalties. After the Custer
massacre thej were all disarmed and
dismounted. Xowmany of them have
ponies, and all the transportation of
supplies from the landing to the agency
is (lone by the Indians. There are no
white settlers allowed at the agency,
except employes of the government,
but all along the east side of the Missouri
river there are numerous little
settlements spri nging up and also many
successful ant. prosperous farmers."
A curious collection of books is contained
in the library of Warstenstein,
near Cassel, in. Germany. These books
appear at first sight to be logs of wood,
but each volume is really a complete

r OR THE FAIR SEX. j
i>Iarria?? in France.
Xo marriage is legal in France ex- j
cept with the consent of the parents of :
both parties ; but a man or woman
over twenty-five years of age may1
"respectfully cite" his or lier parents
to show cause why they refuse con- j
sent. If they fail to show good cause,!
the marriage may proceed in spite of
them; but the fact that these proceedings
are seldom resorted to proves how
close are the ties of family duty in j
France. It may be added that many a
confiding English girl, properly mar- i
ried to a Frenchman in her own parish
I church, has found herself no wife
when once she crossed the Channel,
and been deserted in misery and
disgrace.
A Keen Rebuke.
He was a commercial traveler on his
tvay from Bowling Green to Ilopkinsville,
Kv. There was a wait of three
hours at Guthrie, and a party of young
ladies, with lively young married persons
acting as matrons, made the station
ring with merriment. They were
going to visit the Mammoth cave. The
face of one of them is a study?a perfect
oval, yet with that rich, warm brunette
tint that you see more often in
the JLatin races tnan in tne Angio- ]
Saxon. Her eyes looked out from under j
tlie broad brim of a Gainesborough hat, I
through half closed lids, wonderfully j
tantalizing in their subdued mirth, co-1
quetry, and love of life, lightly veiled ;
with the laziness of good breeding. |
The brassy and dapper little wretch of j
a "drummer" had been watching the ;
girls as a cat would a bevy of frolic-!
some and unsophisticated mice. Hastily j
seizing and returning a handkerchief
accidentally dropped by the Gainesborough
beauty, he seeks, with the audacity
of his class, to open conversation:
" A very gay party you have, miss."
"Yes," says she, quietly, bowing acknowledgment
of the handkerchief,
and letting her laughing etes drift slowIv
over him: "but then, you see, we
know each other."
A very keen remark, keen-eyed as a
Damascus blade, but perfectly "ladylike
in its unruffled good temper. The
"drummer" retreated.
Ida Lewis.
A Newport letter says : TVithin a
ihort mile of the quay at Newport,
Lyme xock rises out of the waters of
Narragansett bay. On this rock
stands the old lighthouse which was
tended for many years by the father of
Ida Lewis, anil of which she now, under
the seal of the government commission,
is keeper. Sec-tiring the services
of the captain of a diminutive
boat, I sailed on the waters blue to her
abode for the purpose of paving her
my respects. As we approached the
rock an immense mastiff, with head
and paws like a lion and a roar like
far-off thunder, came to its extreme
verge and disputed our landing. He
was entirely successful until the
heroine appeared, called him off in
the lowest of tones and locked him
up in an outhouse. She then invited
me into the little house, on the top of
which rests the beacon light which has
for so many years warned the navigator
of hidden dangers, and at once entered
into easy and unrestrained conversation.
She said that she had for
twenty-five years lived on that rock;
that she used fo be fond of going into
thp rif.v on op in awhile, but that she
cared very little for it now; that she
always had a great many visitors in the
| summer, a few years ago the number
reaching thousands in one season. She
showed me her medals received from
Congress, the State of Massachusetts
and the city of Newport, and a sojjjl
silver teapot from the officers at Fort
Adams, all bearing suitable inscriptions
in testimonial of her heroism in
rescuing so many human beings from
watery graves.
Miss Lewis is rather above medium
height, of somewhat slender figure,
good features and great earnest eyes,
between brown and gray. "While she
I cannot be called handsome, her face is
j one to interest and attract. Her style
! of conversation is piquant and vivaI

j is very intelligent. Every thing about
her and her apartments bore the evidence
of neatness, care and good
taste. Her mother, a venerable old
lady, with thick silver hair, was very
talkative, and discoursed on matters
and things, personal and otherwise, at
length. She informed me she had
rheumatism in her feet, and Ida insisted
that it was tecause she had dyed
her hair for so many years. She communicated
the intelligence that her
daughter was forty years old, at which
I Miss Ida evinced a slight tinge of anI

thinks she must tell every one my age."
But she quickly added: "Well, I don't
care, it don't make any difference. I
don't object to getting old."
Fashion Notes.
Turbans are worn this autumn.
The best rosewood comes from Rio
Janeiro.
Satin rosettes are seen on Frcnch
evening dresses.
All soft, dull colors, will remain in
fashion during the winter.
Ottoman silks with figures in satin
are shown with new goods.
Bonnets for autumn wear have

Matelasse plush and silk matelasse
will be used this winter for cloakings.
Hats are being introduced with
velvet crowns and straight straw
brims.
Black and cardinal stripes will be
substituted for black and white stripes
this winter.
The newest black hosiery is dyed
with the anchor dye and warranted to
be fast in color. \
The new velvet brocades have a
changeable ground in two colors, one
of which is repeated in the figure.
Among new trimmings is Pompadour
lace. It has raised figures of muslin
with Irish point stitches for borders:
The small capotc bonnets and
French toques are still at the height
of style for elegant dress. They certoinlv

In the arrangement of the coiffure,
heavy bangs, " Montagues," or thick
rings of hair, arc now considered " bad
form " by the mo^t fashionable people,
and only the lightest, babyish fluff of
hair now shades the fcrebead.
Large quantities of velvet are imported
for suits and wraps, and a revival
of velvet cloaks is an accepted
fact for the coming winter. Velvet,

Russian pelisses, the long, tight fitting
basques which reach to the bottom
of the dress skirt and are now worn by
ladies, made of cashmere and simply
trimmed with a full pinked ruche of
the same material, will be repeated for
winter in ladies' cloth.
The most elegant silk stockings
have medallions set in the instep with
silk embroidery. Black silk stocking*

' ornaments without jet will be used
! this winter on crosses. Solid jet will
I also be worn, having become as standard
a trimming in this country as in
I Paris, where, in some combination, it
' is always worn.
I Ribbon in velvet, moire and satm is

Xew striped silken fabrics for combination
dresses for autumn have
wide stripes of uncut velvet alternating
with stripes of plush of the same width.
These will be used for the corsage, and
the stripe will enhance the slender,
long-waisted effect now in vogue. The
front of the skirt will be made of plain
plush, and the padded paniers and
back drapery will be of the striped
goods.
The Suez Canal.
As regards the Suez canal itself one
may say with the tourist who spends
a day in the town of Hanover, "There
was nothing to see, and I saw it
thoroughly." Two interminable banks
of grayish yellow sand, at first only a
few feet above the water, but growing
gradually higher and steeper as they
trend southward; a little ribbon of
light-green water, about seventy feet
broad by somewhat over twenty-six
deep in the center, lying between
them, a huge "dredger" rising
from the smooth surface like a castle
every here and there, with a
clamorous garrison 01 oiue-smneu
men and red-capped, dark-faced lads,
who send a volley of shrill cries after
every passing steamer; an occasional
steam launch, contemptuously apostrophized
hv our sailors as " Puffing
Billy," snorting past with a crew composed
of three men and flag, and all
around, as far as the eye can reach the
dim, dreary immensity of the great
Libyan desert?such were the leading
features of the famous Oriental thoroughfare
when I first traversed it on
my way to Arabia, ten years ago, and
such tney still remain.
But dwarfed though it may be, like
the tiny railway connecting the Volga
with the Don, by the mighty desolation
of its surroundings, the Suez
cnnal has nevprtholess. a touch of life
every here and there, the artistic value
of which is augmented tenfold by its
dismal background. A patch of green
foliage, encircling two or three small
wooden huts, fIiows itself suddenly
upon the hot brassy yellow of the
never-ending sand hills, proving that
the unfortunate menw ho their illluck
has made station-keepers in this
hideous region have done their best
to make such an existence endurable.
At one of these hermitages
civilization has advanced so far
as to develop a long one-storied building
with "Billiards" painted on its
front, for your true Frenchman,
whether on a deserted island or in the

cafe and his billiard-table. In a deep
hollow, between two high lamps,
half a dozen camels lie crouched on
the earth, with their long necks out,
stretched in lazy enjoyment, while
three or four more ridden by swarth y
keen-eyed, white-turbaned Arabs,
come slouching along the crest of the
ridge with slow, noiseless stride. A
flock of native sheep, brown and
shaggy as their own shepherds, trot
over the brow of the further bank
and disappear behind it. A little
further on a swarm of blue-frocked
natives, black and shriveled as overfried
sausages, are picking and shoveling
away a huge lump of the bank
which has suddenly rolled down into
the water, while others are carrying off
the earth in baskets upon their heads
?a sight which recalls a story of ail
English friend of mine, employed on
one of the East Indian railways, who
served out wheelbarrows to his gang
in the hope of superseding the earthbaskets,
and the next morning found
them actually carrying the wheelbarrows
on their heads in the same manner.
A sudden bend brings us
in sight of a little white beehive
of stone or baked earth,
probably a native tomb, perched on the
summit of a steep conical mound, and
beside it stands a primitive sentry box,
consisting simpiy 01 a mm ia,iu uu
four upright canes, from which an
Arab watchman is supposed to look
for passing steamers when he has
nothing better to amuse him. A huge
Peninsular Oriental boat comes lazily
along, looking delightfully cool and
shady under outspread awnings,beneath
which the young ladies are leaning over
the rail in summer toilet, with three
or four gentlemen hovering nervously
around them in a way that might
tempt one to abuse once more that
overworked simile of the moth and
the candle.?New York Times.
The Umbrella.
Of course we must seek the origin of
umbrellas in the shatle provided by the
overhanging branches of trees, but it
adds something of interest to our subject
when we read of the banyan tree
found near the Ganges, which is the
counterpart in appearance of the modern
umbrella, being of pyramidal form,
sloping from a central summit to the
extremity of the lotfer branches. Here,
no doubt, was the first rude idea of the
i familiar article 01 every-uay use, <tuu
! great as is the perfection to which it
j has been brought, it is a question
i whether the most highly finished silk
j umbrella or satin sunshade of to-day
affords more practical shelter than the
I primitive attempts of the earliest civij
lizations. Tiie Chinese umbrella has
: much to recommend it. It is light,
i easily opened and serves the purpose
for which it is intended, and the ChinaI
man lias rested comfortably contented
j with the article as it was 1 landed down
i to him. What a suggestion of satisfied
j humanity this fact conveys. It is
i really enviable, while the contrast af|

: these necessary articles within a period

The Speed of Modern Steamships, j
In an article contributed by S. G. "W. |
Benjamin to the Century the author
describes the improvements in ocean
steamships and says : Thirty years
ago sixteen days was a fair allowance
for the passage between England and !
Xew York by steam. By gradual i
steps the point was reached when ,
eleven days was the minimum, and j
this startled the world. Then began a
rivalry between the Inman and White
Star lines, attended by a succession of
runs showing a gradual increase of
speed, which proved a great advertise-1
ment for these lines. In 1S71 the!
average time of twenty-four crack voy- 1
ages by these lines was eight days, fifteen j
hours and three minutes. The Adriatic's j
i best westward time was forty-three j
! minutes less. It should be remein-'
bered that the westward passage is!
generally longer than in the other di- i
I rection, owing to westerly winds and I
i the Gulf stream. In emulation of this !
: speed in 1877 the City of Berlin, of
the Inman line, made the trip to
Queenstown from New York in seven
days, fourteen hours and twelve minutes,
and in the same year the Britannic,
of the White Star line, crossed
from Queenstown in seven days, ten j i
limirs nnrl fiftv-t.hree minutes. In 1879 i !
a new rival appeared in the field, the j :
Arizona, of the Guion line. This
steamship made the eastward passage :
in]1880 in seven days, ten hours and .
forty-seven minutes, and in one trip in
1881 she lessened this time about three :
hours. This seemed to be about the :
best that could be expected of these 1
superb ships, when the new Guion <
steamer Alaska, after a number of astonishing
runs, accomplished the west- ;
ward passage between the two ports,
on April 18, 1882, in seven days, six :
hours and twenty minutes, actual time,
against heavy seas. In a subsequent
trip eastward she ran the distance in
six days and twenty-two hours, actual '
time. In this, the quickest passage
ever made across the Atlantic, the
Alaska traveled 2,895 knots, being <
about an average of 41Si knots per
dav, for seven successive days. It will
be observed that the increase of speed
has been graduated in proportion to
the gradual increase of size. The :
ships of 1850 were rarely much over
2,500 tons, and were barely 300 feet long. :
Xow -the average length of ocean
steamc-rs is upward of 400 feet, while ,
500 feet is not uncommon. The City
of Home is 586 feet long and registers
8,826 tons; the Servia is 530 feet and
8,500 tons; the Alaska is 520 feet and
6,932 tons. The Austral, intended for
the Australian trade, is 474 feet long
and forty-eight feet, three* inches
broad, and registers 9,500 tons. The
measurements of this vessel, and of :
the new Cunarder Cephalonia, which
is 440 feet long by 46 feet beam, indicate
that the reaction against extreme
length has already commenced in the
great shipyards of Great Britain, being
in each of these cases less than ten
beams to the length.
A Colored Hercules.
Bill Hood, a colored giant, who formerly
lived in Madison, Ind., recently
died at his home in Jackson county,
aged seventy years. Ilood was a remarkable
man in manv respects, and
for strength was without an equal
thirty years ago.
He was a teamster, and often while
engaged in hauling rock, would lift
with perfect ease and place on his
wagon flagstones that would require
the strength of three or four ordinary
men. When his team would stall in
chuck-Jioles. he would place his back
under the axle of the wagon and hoist
the load out of the hole. "When in his
cups he was somewhat quarrelsome,
and conscious of his great strength,
would defy the officers of the law
and their nosses. Unon more
than one occasion the officers had
to shoot and disable him before T"
they could arrest him. Upon one occasion
a crowd of railroaders caught
him in a liquor store, and by doubling
teams on him, thought they could
whip him. They accordingly locked
the door to prevent his escape, and then
informed him of their intention, when
he immediately commenced to defend
himself by taking the ringleader by the
nape of the neck and the seat of the
pantaloons, and raisins him above his
head, threw him clear through the
show window and out on the pave
ment. He then began to knock the
others down with his fists, and floored
them right and left, until he had the
whole crowd down, when he quietly un- 1
locked the door and made his way home,
but not without a good many bruises, as
his antagonists had been busy all the j
time belaboring him with ax handles j
and such like weapons. His superhuman
strength was such, however, j
that he soon overcame things which ;
would have killed an ordinary man.
