of the nineteenth century. Alfred Tennyson,
Engiand's poet-laureate, has announced
his adhesion to the plan.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
have taken the lead in experiments
looking to the adoption of electric
lamps for passenger cars. The elec

of secondary batteries underneath the
floor of the cars, thirty cells of battery

lamps for seventeen hours. Test experiments
made are said to have been
very satisfactory to the officers of the
company.
The Washington monument, at the
national capital, now exceeds 300 feet
in height, and is rising at the rate of
about a foot a day. The workmen are
protected by a strong netting which
surrounds the top of the monument.
Already the net has saved the life of
one workman, who was blown from
his place by a gust of wind. "When
finished the monument will be by fax
the highest structure of its kind in the
world.
According to the latest census the
population of London is 4,764,312,
which is much larger than the population
of the thirteen American colonies
before the Revolution. There are
in this gr-^at city more than double the
number of people in Denmark, includ
ing Greenland ; nearly three times as
many as in Greece; more than eighteen
times the population of Montenegro;
some thousands more than Portugal,

the close of his life, called his two
sons to his bedside, told them that he
had arranged his affairs so that they
would have a million each, and begged
them to do nothing but live like gentlemen
on the income from their posses

sons, in pursuance of their father's
last request, proceeded to " do nothing
and tc live like gentlemen." In twelve
months the life of a gentleman finished
one of the soils, and in another vear

"When Brigham Young died, one of

that he could make a living by
his profession, and that when the
wranglers had helped themselves _to_ _

allotted him a package of railroad
stock -which was good for nothing, but
he took it without grumbling. In the
little time that has passed since then,
however, the railways of the State

and "Willard Young is rewarded for his
manly conduct in the affair by finding
his property worth more than that of

Dr. J. E. Garretson, a Philadelphia
physician and writer, whose name in
the literary world is "John Darby,"
has given, in his book," Brushland," a
sketch of the working out of one of his
hobbies. Ten years ago he determined
to find out by personal experience
whether or not the charms of simple
rustic life are equal to those of metropolitan
luxury. So he went into the
wilds of Xew Jersey and bought fifty
acres of rough swampy ground. There
year after year the fashionable city
doctor worked during his vacations,
clad in corduroy and heavy boots. He
?-etft jlown trees, dug ditches, got out
sfnirms nlowprl anri nlsnted and toiled
from sunrise to sunset like any farm
laborer. He ate the commonest food,
passed his evenings sitting on a rail
fence smoking a clay pipe, and enjoyed
eight hours of sound sleep every night.
f Thus he lived a double life, and now
declares that the happier portion of it
was that spent in the brushland wilderness.
Man-Horses in Japan.
A Mr. Pidgeon, ot England, has
been traveling in Japan and has written
a book about it, containing many
lifelike pictures of the country and its
: people. A strange feature is the run
by "pair-horse jinrickishas" (manr?TQ\x*r>
from TnTrin f.Tpdrlo^
to Xikko. On the return journey the
coolies offered to show the travelers
their power, and ran back to Xakada
(fifty-eight miles) in one day. The
following are the author's notes of the
journey: Leaving
Xikko at 7:45 a. sr., the
men ran twenty miles in two hours
and fifty minutes without a stop. Then *
they rested twenty minutes, taking a
bowl of rice and some weak tea. The
rest of the journey was made by tenmile
stages, with stops of a quarter of
an hour between each, and the fiftyeight
miles were completed in ten
hours, including stops, or eight hours
and a quarter,exclusive of stops,being at
the rate of 7.3 miles per hour while
^ running, and 7.8 miles per hour including
stops. The whole party arrived at
y'akada in capital condition, laughing
and chattine- aavlv. Thev ran. almost
naked, at an even trot, with a long,
springy stride, and took nothing but
rice, a "little fish and tea, by the way.
Their feet were protected by straw
sandals; but if these wore out, they
were not particular about replying
them with others. Their consideration
for one another was remarkable. The
man between the shafts has the hardest
work, and the strongest coolies are
always ready to take more than their
fair share of this position, while the
weaker never shirked it. It rained
hard during the last third of the
journey; but whether they dripped
with perspiration or rain made no difference
to those Tjlucky little fellows.
who, after completing fifty miles, ran
the last eight miles to Xakada within
an hour.

received?and "brimmed over with
satisfaction " on getting it?amounted

lump of rock salt in the manger or
keep a constant supply of common
salt within reach. If this is not successful,
add a lump of chalk; then
dampen the food and spread a little
magnesia upon it, and mingle a handful
of ground oak bark with each feed of

and cover all projecting timbers
with strips of metal or fill them with
nails.
The Apple Tree Borer.
The apple tree borer lives in the tree
during the winter and until it matures
and becomes a beetle like its parent,
when it does no damage except to lay
its eggs and repeat its work and generation.
The mature insect is a beetle
called saperda bivittata, this lays its
eggs in the summer on the bark of the
apple tree near the ground, and the
worm which proceeds from the egg
bores into and under the bark, feeding
upon the green layer of soft new bark
and wocd. If it goes completely
around the tree it, of course, cuts the
sap channels and prevents the flow of
saD and so kills the tree. The remedy
is to examine the tree, find the holes
and push a piece of wire into them and
kill the grubs; or, if they cannot be
reached, to cut them out with a knife
or gouge, saving the bark as much as
possible.

If you attempt to keep chickens
in damp, dark, illy ventilated houses
and low, wet swampy runs, disease
will follow surely. When cholera is
around among the neighbors' fowls use
some disinfectants. A (heap and good
disinfecting fluid may be made by dissolving
three pounds of copperas in
five gallons of water and add
inn half a pint of crude carbolic
acid. If the acid cannot be
had conveniently, use the copperas
without it, sprinkle the floor, nests,
walls and perches, or use a solution of
sulphuric acid, say thirty of acid to
one thousand of water, and applied in
the same way, or better if washed by
means of a broom or brush. It is almost
useless to dose fowls with medicine
while they remain where the infectuous
poison still lurks and unless
you adopt the sanitary measures recommended.
And if you attend to
the sanitary business in time you will
nave but little need to dose your iowis
with powerful drugs.?Poultry Monthly.
Cabbage YV orra.
The American Garden says: Helle
bore, lime, salt and similar substances
have been used with varied success for
the destruction of cabbage worms. It
is now stated that bran and buckwheat
flour answer the purpose better
than any ether remedies that have
been tried. The bran is simply dusted
over the infested cabbages as soon as
the worms make their appearance. If
the worms are very thick about a handful
of bran is required for each cabbage
head, and sometimes it is necessasy
to go over the plants a second
time. A hundredweight of bran is
sufficient for an acre. It must be ap
plied when the worms are young.
When they are full grown or very
strong it does not affect them. The
buckwheat flour is sii'tec oil them by
means of a sieve, in the evening or in
the morning?when the dew is on the

would have the same effect.

is hardly worth while to attempt to
add anything to this formidable list,
but we may remark that it is hardly
possible that even the toughest of cabbage
worms would be able to survive
the administration of all of these remedies
consecutively.
Turnips as n. Stock Food.
Turnips are represented as forming the
foundation of agricultural and stockraising
in Great Britain. They have a
regular place in the rotation of crops,
and are regarded as essential to keeping
the soil fertile and free from weeds.
They hold the place that corn does in
t.Tiii rrkiint.rv in fn.ffpnino- all kinds of
stock. A distinguished British farmer
states that stock-raising in America
differs from that in Great Britain only
in the circumstance that corn is here
substituted for turnips. That we must
soon find some substitute for corn for
feeding to stock in most parts of the
country appears certain. The crops
in the most favored parts of the country
have recently been very small, and
the quantity raised has not been - sufficient
for supplying other demands
than that of feeding stock. Except
in a few of the most cenJ

is too expensive to feed to other animals
than hogs with a view of preparing
them for the butcher. In the
great stock-raising regtons that t.re
being developed in the t.xtreme Sou*:h,
North and West it is impossible to
raise large crops of corn. Cattle and
sheep will make a good growth on
grass alone, but to fatten them properly
they require other kind of food.
There is rarely any profit in converting
small grains into beef, pork and mutton,
and there is a demand for some
crops like turnips that can be fed with
oil cake or other rich food. The plan
which is generally followed in the
British islands and the Scandinavian
countries of feeding some root crop in
connection with a small amount of oil
cake is an excellent one, and it should
be introduced into many parts of this
country. It would result in giving us
better meat at a reduced price.
About Tree
Professor J. L. Budd, of the Iowa
Agricultural college, says : Trees blight
least: i. In orchards on light-colored
sous in eievatea airy positions, z. uu
soils shaded the preceding season by a
succulent growth of second crop
clover or of buckwheat. 0. In orchards
cultivated in the early part of the preceding
season and shaded the latter
part with marsh hay or other rubbish.
4. In orchards kept whitewashed on
trunks and main limbs the preceding
season. 5. Where the trunks and
lower limbs are shaded on the south by
walls, tight board fences, low buildings,
evergreens, or even boards so placed
as to maintain a lower temperature of
the tree during July and August. G.
Where orchards are exclusively plant"d
with varieties indigenous to countries
with very hot, dry summers such is
the inter-continental steppes of Northern
Europe and Asia. Trees ai .'>t
subject to blight: 1. Or. dark-coiv - 1
soils exposed to the sun, in sheltei
positions. 2. In places where they are
exposed to the reflected heat of tig'it
beard fences, walls, or wooden buildings
cT to blasts of heated air passirg
over drv grain or grass stubble, heated
roads, etc. 3. Where the varieties are
indigenous to sections with relatively
humid and cool summers. These
general conclusions point to excessive
heat and aridity of air as an exciting
cause of blight, especially when taken
in connection with the fact that blight
is only known in countries with dryer
and hotter summer air than is known
in the native ranges of our best varieties
of the apple and peai. i
How Jo Save Seed.
The following is from the pen or Dr. :
O. F. Xeedham, Washington. I). C.:
I How to prevent seed from deterior'
ating is a most important question. ly:
ing at the foundation of ail agricultural
; and horticultural prosperity. Nature's
law is to " multiply ;md replenish," no
matter as to the particular quality, hut
evervthiny as to the nuantitv. "The
i survival of the fittest" governs the re:
suit. But nature's operations are too
slow for our short lives, so the business .
ol'the cultivator is to aid -Mother Nature
and thus reach the best results in
; the shortest periods. It is a fact too j
| well known that, ordinarily, crops de-:
j teriorate, and this, for one reason, be-!
j cause the seed becomes weakened. The ;
story of " Deere's Improved Lima
| Beans" will illustrate the idea and exj
plain the whole modus operandi of j
saving seed. Some years ago
I -a orjirdrvnpr ac&pri nur "\Tr Saun
i tiers how he could improve thej
i Lima beans. He was told to find, if ;
! possible, a pod having at least four
[ beans; the next season to plant the one, j
| the largest and best of these; the next,
i season to select as before one bean, the :
one that not only seemed to the eye the j
! largest and best, but the one that!
j could weigh the most, and then to pur- :
i sue this method fur several years. !
j The result we all know is a great im- i
| provement of that delicious vegetable.
I One lias asked why our melons are so j
I inferior nowadays. The answer is j
! that pains are not taken in saving the !
! IT",. .,, nf Trtiiclr niol- I
I DCCU. JL ilCi "5 10 at VI iuucn. ja**.*- j
i ons sold by one of our seedsmen, the
I " Hunter " melon, which illustrates the j
I point. A Mr. Hunter received some j
| years since from abroad seeds of a very ;
j choice melon. These were planted |
| and the seed of only the very best were j
I kept. In this manner has the seed |
i been selected, and now, after more j
j than twenty years, this variety
I commands the highest price in
i our markets, and the seed sells
for $-3 per pound, while other
| varieties can be had for fifty cents, and
i are dear at that. I have seen a stalk !
I of corn bearing ten ears. Of course j
j this ninefold increase came from se- j
| lecting the seed at lirst of a stalk that:
i bore two good ears, then there would ;
I be a few with three ears, and so on j
; until the grand result was reached. 1 !
i know many farmers say that if they ;
; can get one good ear oft each stalk j
; they will be satisfied. Well, such men j
J are not very particular, and will buy j
j corn from a neighbor's crib and plant i
i the best of his. Of course, they get j
| only an ordinary crop. Is not this the j
i reason that growing Indian corn has j
: become such a poor and unpaying busi-1
| ness? For my part I will let the idiots i
i grow this corn, and I will purchase it j
j in the fall for less than $2 a barrel.
Permanent Grass Land.
On shaley and sandy soil permanent j
; grass in remunerative quality is out of j
i the question in our hot and dry cli- j
| mate. Neither can we rely upon the !
soil of our limestone riuges ior a sue- j
cessful continuation of grass, nor upon \
i the lighter clay loams in seasons of j
j severely dry weather, the drought be- j
I ginning early. More success can be !
j obtained on a deep, somewhat heavy
I loam, kept well enriched and with i
' good drainage, if the deep-rooting j
j grasses are grown, such as the Ken-!
: tueky blue and the orchard grasses. !
j Timothy or redtop it is Impossible to j
! continue successfully on a light, dry :
I cnil in nnr Him nip as is but too abacd
! antly proved. Even on our days, j
! adapted to timothy, this grass will\
| thin out in a few years, when thy land I
i is again given to the plow. But this is \
I owing to the bad management. Better i
| successes obtained by keeping the land j
enrieiied, making two cuttings instead j
j of one, thus improving both the quantity i
; and the quality of the hay. "Without it, i
J and by cutting timothy late, the j
j ground parches. I have known whole j
j tields destroyed, not a live root left, j
This never happens with orchard grass j
^a^good ground, nor any of the deep j
; rootin^gcasses. There- is. one
I loco -or oil L-nmrn
that on a proper soil^infidknvlv en-1
riched, the climate favoriag, a heavy j
growth of grass can be grown with-!
out seeding the land, nature having ;
provided for this. Thus- our yellow j
knolls, if favored with a good fertil- j
i izer and a moist, growing season, will j
i cover themselves with a dense herb- j
I age and of superior quality; this even !
j where the land before was naked, as
} with corn ground or plowed land. The j
! heaviest growth of white clover I ever ;
! saw was on a ootato natch 011 which ;
j only plaster?no seed?had been |
i sown. Manure and moisture are the j
; great requisites in grass growing; you'j
can hardly manure too highly. J*ut it!
: is necessary, if the greatest benefit I
i would be realized, to make at least two !
I cuttings. This is to prevent the harm |
j from lodging, which, in a wet sea- j
I son, if allowed, is serious, bleaching;
! and rotting the grass below?the effect j
! of shade lessening greatly the nutri- j
. ment properties, hurting also the plant.
j by exposing it abruptly to the hot rays !
1 of the sun on the removal of the crop.
; To cut earlier when the stand is less ;
heavy and erect and the ground more !
I moist, and the midsummer heat and |
; drought have begun, is not only to se- j
! cure a sweet, fresh growth, retaining j
i the same flavor, but the plant will be
: favored and a new growth at once start j
up, which, on good soil, will soon
! shade the crop and push on to a good |
j crop. This when cut will not find the :
I plant exhausted as when a single crop j
; at maturity is taken, the ground being |
' less affected by drought and exhaustion
! (no seed having formed), so that ground
j and plant are in better condition to j
j sr.art and advance a fall growth, which ;
; in no case should be fed off, unless on :
! a very rich soil and favorable weather, j
; when it may be somewhat reduced, j
i leaving sufficient for protection against \

Household Hints.
Lemons may be kept fresh for a
long time in a jar of water, changing
the water every morning.
Lamp shades of ground glass should
be cleansed with soap orpearlash; these
will not injure or discolor them.
To remove spots from furniture take
four ounces of vinegar, two ounces of
swfpt.nil nnc fmncr> of turnentine. Mix !
and apply with a funnel cloth.
Soot falling oil the carpet from open
chimney; or carelessly handled stove
pipes, if thickly covered with salt, can
be brushed up without injury to the
carpet.
To clean oil-cloth, wash with warm
milk. Once in six months scour with
hut soapsuds; dry thoroughly and apply j
a coat of varnish. They will last as
lung again.
One pound of green copperas dissolved
in one quart of boiling water
will destroy foul smells. Powdered
borax scattered in their haunts will
disperse cockroaches.
For liome-inade camphor ice, melt
half a teacupful of mutton tallow and
put into it a piece of camphor gum
about the size of a large hickory nut;
pour it into a cup or mold to harden.

Recent geological investigations are
thought to establish the fac-t that the
eastern portion of Kansas, a portion of
Nebraska, Southern Iowa, Northern
Missouri, etc., were once covered by a
fresh-water lake; the body of water
thus formed naturally received numerous
rivers and smaller streams from
the vast outlaying regions, the turbid
waters of which deposited in time a
sediment varying from 150 to a few
feet in depth.
Is the southern hemisphere of our
earth colder than the northern ? Mr.
Hennessv and Mr. Henel say that tiie
southern, owing to its greater mass of
water, must have the higher temperature,
or about 15.4 degrees Centigrade,
although Ilerr Mann thinks that 15.2
degrees Centigrade would fairly represent
that of either side of the equator.
This, in "steamship"!

country there is the gravestone of
Eleazur Williams, who passed the last
years of his life in mission work

A Rare Bit ofLace.
A piece of lace belonging to Mrs.;
Cooke, of Georgetown, is said by con- i
noisseurs to be actually worth its;
weight in diamonds. It is like a spider's ;
film, and is woven in a " lost" pattern.
The loss of patterns was a severe check
to lace making in France and Brussels,
and came about in a curious way. Be- i
fore the French revolution whole villages
supported themselves by lace
making, and patterns were handed
down from one generation to another.
They were valuable heirlooms, for the
most celebrated weavers had as many
orders as they could fill in a lifetime, |
for it was tedious work. But they I
*vere bound by an oath, taken on the j
four gospel3, to work only for cer- j
t.nin rlpfllfira Whon t,herf>i<rn of terror !
began all business of the sort was in
terrupted for a time, for the " aristo-;
crats " filled the tumbrils and crowded
the guillotine, and the revolutionists
were too busy driving them there to
think of "purple and fine linen." j
"When the storm subsided the dealers .
and workers were far apart; some j
dead, some lost, some escaped to other i
lands, and such of the women as remained
were bound by their oath to j
work for but one. And this oath, in I
spite of Robespierre's doctrines, was |
held by the poorest of them to be bind-:
ing, and there are instances where i
they suffered actual want, rather j
than forfeit their word. Some, how- i
ever, taught their children and grand-1
children, and many patterns were in
this way preserved ; but some of the ;
daintiest and finest were never recov- j

Fashion Notes.
Old bonnet stvles are revived.
Round hats will be much worn.
Egyptian red gloves are the rage.
Scotch plaid satins appear among
silk dress goods.
Postilion plaits to be in good form j
must be pressed flat.
Mahogany fed is as fashionable as i
mahogany furniture.
Masculine hats, jackets, redingotes j
and ulsters are much worn.
Puffed and shirred brims are a fea- j
ture in Paris hats and bonnets.
Black lace is used in cascadcs, in
- - - - ^ . i
combination witli lurs, ior cioaK trim- (
ming.
Dyed furs are not out of vogue, but j
undyed ones are gaining in popular '
favor.
Printed satines with large figures on
dark and tinted grounds are used for
cloak linings.
Novelties in wool fabrics are appliqued
figures in plush and embroider- I
ies in chenille.
Ottoman silks, velours, poplins, in j
a word, repped fabrics of all varieties,
are in demand.
Chenille, satin cords and braids of |
various widths all play their part in |
aew dress trimmings.
The Phrygian cap, projecting far j
over the face, appears among other [
military novelties in Paris.
Ottonman plushes have heavy repped j
grounds on which are designs in thick j
and long pile plush.
Among the new ribbons are those j
with Ottoman grounds on which ap- j
pear brocaded plush flowers.
The long pelisse with a ruche at the [
bottom and up the front is a garment J
at the present time much in vogue. i
To mingle two kinds of lace on one I
costume, bonnet or piece of neck lin- i
gerie is good form and correct taste at
present.
Large long buckles in colored and
iridescent metals are used to fasten the
looped draperies of silk and fine woolen ,
Presses.
Velvet and felt are the leading ma- j
ierials for ladies' bonnets anil hats, j
and feathers and birds the leading i
;rimmings. *
There is a fancy at present for house
:lresses composed of a solid-colorcd j
jacket and a bright plaid or novelty i
fabric skirt.
Long plain cloth pelisses, finished |
with collars and cufTs of plush, are the
first fall maps for f. very-day and business
purposes.
The taste for braiding assures the j
' prevalence of cloth and flannel cos- j
tumes. Tailors protest against all such j
trimming, but it relieves the plainness i
of cloth suits and is desirable provided
it is not too heavy for comfort.
Gay house dresses for young ladies
have the waist, sleeves and skirt of
blue and red striped cashmere, with
a corset bodice, deep cuns ana ouncueo \
. up overskirt of red cashmere, scalloped '
oil the edges and bound with blue i
braid.
The floral panier is a new garniture j
for evening dresses. It begins at the i
point of the dress waist, is festooned !
accross each hip and falls in two long :
vines on the back of the skirt. The j
entire panier is mounted on net, and is j
made of roses, lilies and leaves.
The fit of a dress is just now far more j
important than the material of which i
it is composed. Provided it is perfect
in the above respect, no matter whether j
fV.Q Arnoa ie /vP cillr or nf sai?kY?lnt.'h it !
will attain that standard of merit !
which gauges the present fashion.
Loveiy little toques and turbans i
made of feathers are again imported, j
They are formed of the plumage of I
birds from every quarter of the globe, j
With these come graceful little mouchoir
muffs made of feathers to match,
and upon the outside is set an effigy of
the bird of whose feathers the turban
and muff are supposed to be made.
Ready for a Fight.
It is not necessary to cross the Atlantic
in order to visit places that are
foreign and strange to the American
travelers. How different is a Canadian
city from one of our own! Halifax,
in Nova Scotia, for example,
amazes and amuses an American citizen,
from the moment he gets a view
of its magnificent harbor?one of the
finest in the world.
He sees for the first time in his life
?unless he has traveled abroad?a city
that is held on the tenure of conquest.
It is a city fortified and garrisoned; |
and the fortifications are on a scale j
that recalls those of Gibraltar.
As soon as the visitor is fairly within
view of the city, and while it is still
five or six miles distant, he sees on a j
lofty height, commanding the approach \
to it, a mass of grass-covered earthworks,
with great guns slanting down
from deep embrasures. The harbor
narrows as the city is neared, and very
soon is seen on another height a
stronger and newer fort, with guns of
the best caliber, all aimed with a slv
' I
and covert menace at some imaginary
foe.
In front of the town nature lias
placed a small island, a green chunk of
earth, of irregular shape, rising from
the water a hundred feet or more; a
cool and pleasant spot for a picnic.
Man has converted it into an earthwork
of almost Gibraltar strength.
He has dug into it, undermined it and
placed in it as many great guns as h*
could point at the imaginary foe who
covets the city and is coming up the
bay to capture it.
Halifax rises from the water's edge
i.(j ncai uic oumiutu ui. ?ix tunuiuw,
two hundred and fifty feet high. The
summit itself is crotroed by un extensive
fortification, called the Citadel,?
green with grassy slopes?in which are
set a number of huge pieces of ordnance,
slanting over the town toward
the same phantom foe.
Just above the city rides at anchor
a mighty iron-clad of eight thousand
tons burden. She has a crew of seven
hundred and fifty men. Her guns are
few in number, but of earthquake
power, capable of hurling six-hundred
pound balls at any power presuming
to enter the harbor with uncivil intent.
This monster is painted white, and

be found atioat Near her lie two other
iron-clads, smaller, but by no means
small, each swarming with blue-clad
men, not unwilling to exchange chafi
with a passing boat.
On shore, what first greets the eye of
a new-comer? . A squad of red-coats
going to relieve sentries. Their red
coats are of the reddest red. Their
summer helmets are of spotless white,
and on the front of them glistens
in letters of burnished gold the
number of their regiment and the arms

If the object of those who designed
this uniform was to give to it the most
conspicuous character possible, that
object has been accomplished. But
that is no affair of ours. What we
wish to remark is that there are about
three thousand of these red-coated
gentlemen. Splendidly drilled and
equipped they pass the season at this
agreeable summer resort, serenely
awaiting the hostilities of the shadowy
foe whose coming is so long delayed.
It is evident that the British lion
has a strong grip upon the beautiful
capital of Nova Scotia. But the puzzle
to an American is, who wants to
get it away from him, that he should
take the trouble to hold it so extremely
tight ?
"VVe could not but think of the words
of John Bright: "If you want war
prepare for war; if you want peace,

A. Movable Mountain of Sand.
In tne eastern part of Churchill
county, Nevada, is a sand-dune, which
is remarkable alike for its peculiar
formation and moving propensities.
As far around as the eye can reach is
a vast wilderness of greasewood and
stunted sagebrush, with here and
there abrupt mountain ridges, or a
sharp, rocky peak. The dune, or
i
SllllU iuuuiiiaui xiugtr, >> men 10 awun
four miles in length and covers probably
a mile of grease wood in width,
was perhaps formed by the heavy
winds which prevail in that section,
blowing across these deserts through a
natural opening in a small range of
mountains and depositing the small
particles of sand that were picked up
in a heap where the wind's course is
disturbed and an eddy formed.
In the whole dune, which is from
1UU to 'iW leeu iii ueigut, iuiu cuul<*i.us
millions of tons of sand, it is impossible
to find a particle much larger than
a pinhead. It is so fine that if an
ordinary barley sack be filled and
placed in a moving wagon, the jolting
of the vehicle -would empty the sack,
and yet it has no form of dust in it
and is as cloan as any sea beach sand.
The mountain is so solid as to give it
a musical sound when trod upon, and
oftentimes a bird lighting on it or a
large lizartl running across the bottom
will start a large quantity of
the sand to sliding, which makes
a noise resembling the vibration
of telegraph wires with a hard wind
blowing, but so much louder that it
is often hoard at a distance of six or I
seven miles, and is deafening to a per- j
son standing within a short distance i
of the sliding sand.
A peculiar feature of the dune is j
that it is not stationary, hut rolls slow- j
lv eastward, the wind gathering it up j
the woct irnl nnrl carm-inor it :?lon<? !
the ridge until it is again deposited at !
the eastern end. Mr. Munroe, a well- ;
known Nevada surveyor, having heard
of the rambling habits of this mam- j
moth sand heap, quite a number of I
years ago took careful bearings on it ;
while sectionizing government lands in j
that vicinity. Several years later he !
visited the place and lound that the j ]
dune had moved something over a
mile.?Reno (Xer.) Gazette.

that when a box or barrel of clothing

old hats are not lacking. An old dilapidated

and make a show, but neither are of
much value.

As to straw hats, their usefulness is !
at an end when the season closes, unless
it be a costly Manila or Panama.
Some are repressed and whitened, but
such a process makes them brittle and
they seem to soil sooner and easier
than when new. Such a hat is an eyesore
to a man. It is too good to put
in a broken window, but not good
enough to wear, and becomes in time
a cat's cradle or an herb basket.

How the Doctor Got ETen.
The late Dr. C., of Ashtabula, used
in the early days to take long rides
through the wilds of Ohio. One day
he stopped at an old-fashioned tav- j
era and called for dinner.
Among the homespun dainties was a j
glass of whisky beside his plate, which
he did not trouble. After dinner, when
paying his bill, the landlord said:
" Twenty-five cents for whisky."
" Which I did not touch, and never j
do," said the doctor.
" Well, it was there, and you could
have had it," replied the landlord.
The doctor said no more, paid his
bill and left.
Calling again not long after it was !
noticed that tlu doctor, upon sitting |
down to dine, placed his medicine case |
upon the table. However, nothing!
was said at the time.
When >10 went tn tijt Viic 'hill Tip 1
brought in $1 for medicine and advice, j
" But I have had no medicine," said
mine host.
" Very well." replied the doctcr, " it
was en the table, and you could have
had it; and I also gave you good ad
vicr all the while I was at table."
The nonplussed host squared ac-1
counts.
The Old .National Pike.
The opening of the Redstone branch
of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
railroad marks a still further decline
in the famous old National turn
pike from Cumberland to Wheeling.!
' An act to regulate the laying out and j
making a road from Cumberland, Md.,
to the State of Ohio," became a law in
1806, and the first stage coach carrying
the United States mails over that
route made its first trip on August 1,
1818. The distance was 130 miles,-and
the total cost of constructing this
great highway across the Alleghanies
was ?1,700,000. Its traffic soon became
enormous, and inns to a commodate
the traveling public sprang up so
thickly along its line that thev were :
said to average two to a mile. The !
pike was admirably constructed, but j
the heavy traffic which demonstrated I
its necessity put it in need of frequent
repairs, and the government
finally turned it over to the States of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio, and
they established toil gates to pay for
its maintenance. In 1S52, with the
opening of the Pennsylvania railroad
to Pittsburg and the Baltimore and
Ohio to Wheeling, its decline began.
