TFIE PERPLEXING CIPHER.
HOW A WOMAT I^.FT THE BUIJC OP
HEE FOBTUNE.
A Cipher Which Could lie Correctly
iiterpr<>ied in Two Way*-Settling;
the Difficulty.
The following curious reminiscence appears
in "Komantic Stories of the Legal
Profession:" Miss Bridgeta Molloy was
the possessor of a large fortune in her own
right, the same having been left to her
by her father. She hail two listers, Lucis
and Judith, who had incurred the old
gentleman's displeasure by running otT
and marrying two scapegraces, and so
they were not remembered in his will.
One of these sisters hud a son. Ferentz
? Steldil, and the other a daughter, Lueis
Bidigita O'Birn. When it happened to
Bridgita Mollov to die, unwedded and
without issue, they found a will under
her pillow, which was in the strictest
sense u conundrum. It read plainly
enough so far as minor bequests were concerned,
including ?1,000 each to the
nephew and niece, and a shilling each to
the brothers-in-law, "to buy mourning
rings;" but when it came to the bulk of
the fortune, here is what it said:

whether real or i>ersonal. 1 <rive. be iueath

That was all, and of course it was
simple nonsense as it stood. But while
they were examining it a note dropped
out, in which they were told to lift up
the carpet in a certain corner of the
room. They did so and found there
another note telling them to consult a
certain page of a certain book. They
did that also and found there a third
note saying: "Key behind wainscot,
three inches toward cupboard from
dressing-room window." It was the
work of a few moments only to remove
a loose board at the point indicated, and
there they came upon a few half-eaten
scraps of paper, and nothing more. The
mice had swallowed the key! There
could be no doubt that the whimsical
collection of letters was a good and
sufficient cipher, if they could only get a

nephew felt sure it could be made to spell
his name, and the parents of the niece
were equally confident that it meant her.
As a result eaeh party brought in an expert;
and, strange to tell, each expert
solved the mystery to suit the party that
had employed him. and each was able to
prove the correctness of his reading.
The one retained in the interest of the
nephew began by explaining that a person
like Miss Molloy, presumably ignorant
of cryptography as a science, would
HgSfr-v, be almost certain to adopt the device of
ESP making one letter do duty for another.
"Noiv, you know," he continued, "the
commonest English letter is e, so that,
RfSgpfc^ ten to one. the commonest letter in the
Pp1 cipher will represent e. That letter is d.
It comes no fewer than live times in
the twenty-five. So, ten to one. stands
HBSy: i e. Well, if d means e. it is likely enough
a would beb, b would be c, and so on,
taking the letters following."' Putting
H||?: e for d and n for m. he went onto show,
and assuming that y might stand for p, b
% for h, and o for w, it was e;isy to spell
nephew. Then he showed that the cipher
fey.*, g and the "Steldi" both ended in a letter
B^g; between a pair of letters?zxz: ldl.
Therefore, he argued, z would mean 1
and x would mean d. And with so much
determined, it must be clear that the
substituton of letter for letter, and never
mixing them, would give my dear
nephew, Ferentz Steldi. Only there was
a j in "Ferentz." which should have bten
a d to represent an e. Hut the lawyer
who had drawn up all of the will but this
perplexing clause recollected that Miss
Mollov had insisted upon having the
boy's name spelled "Firentz," and thus
the j must stand for i, and there was
special confirmation of the expert's process.
Then came the other expert. His process
was quite as convincing aud even
more simple, and yet the outcome was
entirely irreconcilable with that in the
first case. When old women make
cinhers. he explained, as his rival had
done before him, they commonly change
the letters by counting forward or backward.
So he had first counted one forward,
then two, three, four and finally
five?and there he found a starting point.
According to that rule, g would be I, p
would be u, x (making a follow z) would
be c. Next caine d, which would be i,
then n, which would be s. and so on,
the true letter being always the fifth letter
from the cipher forward?and the
expert smiled as the cipner was thus
found to spell out plainly, letter for letter:
Lucis lkidgita O'liirn, mv niece.
There could be no more cavil over this
than over the other one. The cipher
meant two distinct and opposite things,
equally and at the same time, both
demonstrable by processes equally obvious
and equally sound. "What was to
be done? It must go to the chancery
court, certainly; that was the only thing
left to do. But it never got there. The
nephew and niece met, fell in love,
and got married; and thus, after all?
may it not be believed? the will of Miss

Forty Years Ago.
Prcntict* Mulford writes of the times
P forty yeais ago:
Family cooking was better than at
present. ()ur mothers and grandmothers
'took a hand"' in it. Bread was made
at home. Coffee was freshly ground
every morning for breakfast. The grinding
of the family colTec-mill, was a familiar
sound of the early morning, long
ere the children were up. Foreign help
had less sway in the kitchen than now,
I and European hands did not make a
botch of such purely American dishes as
pumpkin p'c, codfish cakes, pork and
beans, corn bread, buckwheat cakes and
succotash.
J'copie tlicn uiu nor uvc as u>ng, nor
was the average health as good as it is
to-day; they ate more meat, more grease,
more hot bread, more heavy dishes, drank
more at meals unci afterward chewed
u more tooaeco.
Dyspeptics and consumptives were
more common; disease and premature
death were devoutly laid at the Deity's
door anil alluded to as 'dispensations of
Providence."
> t Tombstones had longer epitaphs and
more verbosity engraved upon them.
At funerals the undertakers cried with
the mourners, the How of tears being
proportionate to the expense of the
~ funeral.
Coffins were very plain, and burial
caskets unknown.
fc'v r Young folks iu couples counted it a
privilege to sit up nights with the corpse
before burial, and in many cases it was a
welcome recreation.
New Orleans molasses, very black and
thin, was the common "sweetening" for
buckwheat cakes. Defined molasses was
comparatively scarce.
The bank bills were of State banks,
and the farther West their locality the
shakier were they. 11 inois and Indiana
bills would barely pass in New York city.
Much of the silver currency?sixpences,
nhillinrrs and dollars?was of Mexican
15
coinage, brought to this country by the
- Santa Fe traders.
The country rctaif trade was better
than now. People then could not so
easily by rail run up to the city and
spend their largest cash accumulations
for the m<jre expensive stuffs.
Country drygoods stores renewed their
stock from the city twice a year. The
arrival of "new goods" created quite a
flutter. It filled the store for two or
three days?until all the women in the
village had seen the new styles.
Eggs were a shilling a dozen, and butter
was considered high-at eighteen pence
per pound.
There was "York currency," being
eight shillings to the dollar, and New
England currency, six shillings to the
dollar.
Business letters were more voluminous
and formal than now, and written in a
. precise, round hand.
y- Isolated rural settlements contained a
greater proportion of lunatics, paralytics
and victims of St. Vitus' dance
than they do to-day.
? The railroad bftd not strung places together
and there were fewer hospitals
for special diseases, hence most of these
cases were kept at home.
The diet was more surcharged with
grease. The winter breakfast at thoujhv.
sands of tables consisted of salted ham
and hot cakes.
Dinners as simply a hastv lunch at
noon. Little importance was attached
to the necessity for good digestion or a
period of rest after eating.
The same heavy diet prevailed in many
I families, without change, winter and
summer. Hence on approach of the first
fj warmth of spring came " spring fever "
feand biliousness. For this the doctors of
; the period gave strong cathartics, possiblv
a " blue-mass pill" or a dose of
"calomel" ( I
The regular profession then used mer\
' curyina manner which would now be I
^ 'deemed reckless. The patieht was given 1
a regular purgation and directed to 1 J
"diet" for a few days. Children were I
strongly dosed witn castor oil and rhu- |
barb aud salts and senna on the least :
provocation.
It was a strong age tor medicine, and
an age of strong medicine. Under such
treatment the strong managed to recover,
the weak died, aud the medium class
physically lingered on and suffered.
Lightning-rods made their way into

I that they were an insult to Deity, and
I that it was an interference with the

Negro minstrelsy was just cropping

The Maltese Islands, says a Valletta
(Malta) correspondent, arc four in number:
Malta, Uozzo, Comino and Cominittc,
Malta being the largest of the group.
The axis of the group?twenty-nine miles
I in length?runs from northeast to nortli:
west in the same direction as the Appcnines.
Malta is fifty-five miles from the
I most southerly point of Sicily, and 123
miles from Mount Etna. During the last
great eruption of this tcn-tliousand-feethigh
mountain the glare of its fires was
distinctly seen from here. About two
hundred miles southwest of us Cape Bon
points its finger out into the sea, and the
northeast end of Africa begins at the finder
nail. Thus situated, then, midway
between the continents of Europe and
Africa, and directly in the middle of the
great water highway connecting American
and European markets with Egypt,
Asia and the Indies. Malta possesses an
importance easily realized. She has been
possessed by all the countries bordering
on the Mediterranean in turn, and has
been a bone of contention whenever the
dogs of war were let loose.
Malta and its officially styled "dependencies,"
though only fly-specks 011 the
! broad man of the world, now geograph
' I / V ' - ?
lcally form part of Europe, though as to
climate and productions they have much
in common with neighboring Africa.
The island of Malta itself is seventeen
miles long by nine miles broad. A boat
sailing round it would traverse ubout
fifty miles. Its principal ports are the
Great and Quarantine harbors of Valletta,
which are separated by the hog's back
tongue of land called 5luunt Sceberras.
on which the city is built. Among other
bays on the northern shore is that of St.
Paul, in which 1.800 years ago, the Christian
orator was driven ashore. Prior to
St. Paul's advent the inhabitants of Malta
worshiped mythological gods. Only
yesterday I saw a statue of the goddess
Juno, before which the ancient Maltese
have bowed down and sacrificed. It
stands under an archway in a niche of
the gate that leads into the o'd city of
Citta Vecchia?the most venerable of the
Maltese cities. The fine cathedral that
stands there is several hundred years old,
and is built on the site of the house of
Publius, who entertained the great
Apostle. There are long, narrow catacombs
traversing at a'l angles the underground
of Citta Vecchia, in which the
early Christians took refuge from persecutors.
They are dug through s >lid
rock, which rock, however, is ca-i y
worked, cutting more like cheese than
granite. The atmosphere of Citta Vecchia
is hazy with legend and sacred with
I localities connected with St. Paul's stay
in the island.
The highest point of Malta is 750 feet
above sea level. There are not main
trees visible excepting in the walled-ingardens
of the wealthy Maltese, but in
such inclosures oranges, lemons, figs,
pomegranates and dry apples flourish.
The potatoes raised in the island are of
the best, and its string beans, peas and
beets are not surpassed anywhere. Olives
do well here and grow wild. In short, it
is a climate most favorable for vegetables
and semi-tropical fruits and flowers.
The pumpkins are high in color, but
low in taste. A sawdust pudding would
be as palatable as a Maltese pumpkin pic.
The "fields" of the Maltese peasants are
inclosed in stone walls, and will n?)t
average more than half an acre each.
Two-thirds of the surface of Malta is
rock, and the soil of these fields has
mostly been "made." It take? a man's
lifetime to change a rock floor into a fartile
"farm," but the Maltese are patient
and industrious. They love their island.
They affectionately call it Flordel Mondo,
or the ''Flower of the World," but to the
naked eye of the traveler the appropriateness
of the term is not apparent.

The popular knowledge of terra-cotta
in America may be ?aid to consist in
greater or less familiarity with such small
objects as the statuettes made in Italy
and in Spain illustrative of the types and
costumes of the people, and in some general
information concerning the relics of
various ages in the museums and churches
of Europe; but the capabilities of terra
cotia as a material ior practical aim amstic
uses are little appreciated.
The manufacture, of terra-cotta has
been carried on in some form from the
earliest civilization of which we have
any record; in fact, much of our knowledge
of ancient history has beeu derived
from terra-cotta tablets, whose impervious
surfaces have retained the original
j inscriptions for thousands of years, under
j conditions that have caused stone to
crumble away and have corroded metal
until all trace of its having been
fashioned by human hands has disappeared.
Terra-cotta would literally include
everything made of "cookedearth,"from
brick to china and porcelain; but what
is now understood by the term is something
neither so rough and coarse as brick
nor so tine as porcelain. It is not an imitation
of stone nor a substitute for it,
but a material possessing distinct advantages
and capabilities subject to the limitations
imposed by the consistency and
the processes of manufacture, which processes
have now become so exact as to enable
us to define clearly the advantages
and disadvantages of terra-cotta as coinj
paied with other materials in any parlicI
ular undertaking.
The clay selected for the terra-cotta is
! that composed of silicate of alumina and
i a small percentage of iron, oxides of
. iron, as in bricks, producing a red color

until ii is dry; it is then ground to tine
; powder, anil mixed with powdered old
i terra cotta or with "ground llint, granite
j sand, or otlu-r vitritiable substances.
] The mixture is then ground with a certain
small proportion sf water, to obtain
a perfectly homogeneous, ductile, modelj
ing clay free from the smallest air cavities.
The proportion of water determines
the shrinkage that must occur in
burning, and this shrinkage can be r .-licit,
j upon as one-twelfth.
All objects, whether mere eutjes ro
statues, must be hollow, and as nearly as
j possible of the same thickness throughout,
as a solid object invariably becomes
j distorted in burning, owing to the intcrI
ior being more slowly baked than the exposed
portions. The darker the color required.
the harder the tiring must be,
often reaching a white heat, or more than
1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
It has not always been possible to attain
perfect uniformity of color in a number
of pieces of terra-cotta, even when
the pieces have been made of the same
mixture and burned at the same time; but
[ this fact is rarely u serious objection, un
I the contrary, in many instances some va|
nation in tone in a monotonous reduplication
of form is agreeably effective.?

The London Sprat-Market.
Sprat1 are regarded in Great Britain as
the-poor man's fish. In Scotland they
are called garvies, and they belong to a
very large family, that of the hcrr'ng, and
were formerly considered by naturalists
to be the young of that fish. But there
are marked distinctions between the two;
there is this resemblance, however, that
both sprats and herrings swim in great
shoals during the spawning season, so
that when the latter begin to go out
sprats come in, and there is thus during
the winter months a constant supply of
I fresh sea-tish of a popular character and
I within reach of all classes. The Essex
I and Kentish coasts yield large supplies of
| the bright little fish, and they are taken
j to Billingsgate in boats. The finest
sprats are caught by the drift-nets in the
waters of Scotland and on the western
coast o: ?ngiuiiu. ai times us ninny us
1,300 barrels of suratj will reach Killingsgate
iu a single day. They have been so
numerous in the Scottish waters this season
that millions of them have been sold
for manure. Sixty tons of them were
lately caught in the River Tay and put at
once upon the land. As there are about
72,000 average sprats in a ton, the total
number destroyed must be enormous.

CTHATIVE POWEIt OK IFOT PLATES.
Old Doctor Thompson, a noted physician
of Indianapolis, gained his reputation
by a "lucky hit'' with a case the
Rev. Henry Ward Reedier gave him.
One night a Scotchman, laboring under
intense excitement, called on Mr. Reecher
and exclaimed: "('time wi' me quick,
neow, gude paarson! M'woomaun's noo
langer fa' this wourld?an'?an." Mr.
Beecher did not wait to hear the Scotchman
out, but seized his hat and cloak
and was soon at the bedside of the dying
woman. He then rushed out and brought I
Doctor Thompson to manage the case, J
and within a month the patient was a !
well woman.
Hut during her sickness a ludicrous '
little incident occurred that made the j
actors in these events laugh heartily.
All the irood neighbors volunteered to
sit up with the sick woman. One nialit
one of the Scotch laddies uttered aingntful
wail and rolling and kicking
upon the bare floor, complained
bitterly and pitifully of the stomach
ache. The old Scotch father, in droll
accents and thundering tones, shouted:
"Aleck! Aliek! Cum an' pit a hot plait
an Jamie's stoumach!'' As soon as Jamie
was quieted, another of the numerous
laddies was afflicted similarly. The
Scotchman again called out, only louder
than before: "Aleck, get unit her het
plait and pit 't an Tamie's stoumach.'r
The comolaint now seemed to become
epidemic, and the old Scotchman was
soon telling Aleck to "pit a het plait on
Jeannette's stoumach." This done, and
Aleck himself fell a victim to this acute
trouble, and after him all his "brithers"
were also crying for "het plaits." The
nia Scotchman, wno whs how iiu.uing
plates and applying them as fast as he
could, soon exhausted his stock, and
was compelled to run to the neighbors for
ft new supply. The ailment was at last
put under control, and *the Scotchman,
removing the plates from those little
aching stomachs, was about to return
them, when the neighbors, overflowing
with generosity, toid him to keep the
plates for another emergency. They
"didn't need them any more after that."

TWISTING A C OW'S TAIL.
It was a cow, with mild brown eyes,
auburn bangs, and a tail with a loose
lock on the end, that switched the air
and knocked imaginary Hies into the
hereafter with a snap. She was being
led down West street toward the Cortland
street ferry by a ferocious-looking
Jerseyman, whose complexion, owing to
the cold weather and hot whisky, was
red as u meicoric sunset, suddenly,
wiih what was apparently unnecessary
cruelty, the Jerseytnan struck the cow
across the flank wiih a club, swung his
arms over his head, danced a maddening
double-shuillc in the street, and sat down
with strange rapidity upon a car-rail.
The coxv looked over her shoulder reprovingly,
and stood in her tracks. The
Jerseyraan arose from the impression he
had male upon the ice, smoothed his
coat-tails caressingly, and started toward
the cow. lie rapped her once, spat
on his hands, rapped her twice, put his
shoulder against her side?all to move
her out of the track of the drays?
but to no avail. A crowd assembled. The
Jerseyman got lots of sympathy but no '
assistance. One man suggested that
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
board of aldermen. The owner went a
few yards ahead, grinned a ghastly grin,
and shaking his club behind him in a
suppressed fury pleaded in persuasive
to yes, ''Come. Mooly?Mooly." Hut
Mooly saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped a lank
and unshaven specimen of a 'longshoreman.
He was gifted with a wisdom beyond
his kind. He drew the owner of
the cow aside and whispered in his ear:
"Twist her tail." The Jerscvman shook
his head. Then, as though bidding for
the support of the multitude, the 'longshoreman
raised his arm and making a
sweeping gesture, exclaimed:
"(ients, I says twist her tail."
"Twist it yersel," was the answer.
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman bared his brawny
arm and stepped up to the cow. He
took the love-lock in his hand; ran his
lingers through it and clinched them,
grasped the middle of the tail with his
left hand, and tried to tic a knot. An
agonizing silenee, which was broken by
a groan and doited with a broad-brimmed
hat, a pair of suspenders, and the arms
and legs of a 'longshoreman doing calisthenics

remains of the 'longshoreman were earned
away muttering blasphemy. The
cow after she had replaced her hind hoofs

his fare:

Swapping Fish Stories.
The Anglers' association of Eastern
Pennsylvania met at their rooms on Arch
street, Philadelphia, the other evening.
After the consideration of routine matters
was concluded the Rev. Dr. Wayland
Hovt suggested that the executive committee
prepare a list of subjects, both of
practical and scientific import, with regard
to the finny tribe. Among the
titles of subjects suggested were: "The
Breathing of the Fish, " and "What He
Dies of When Taken from the Water."
Upon the latter topic Mr. Cardoza remarked
:
"1 believe a fish dies of intoxication
when t;ikcn out of the water, not
alcoholism, but oxygenism, a sort of fervid
cxhileration, so to speak." Other subjects
named were, "How Fishes Feel Pain, "
and " Upon What Food Fishes Live."
"I don't wish to complain," said a
genial angler, wearing gold-rimmed spectacles,
approaching the reporter, as he
spoke; "but we would like you to mention
the scientific and other subjects we
nmv Imvf! under consideration. You
know," confidently, "we don't want the
public to get the idea that we assembled
here merely to tell?"
"It's a story I can vouch for," exclaimed
the well-known voice of Doctor
lloyt, near the speaker's chair; "knew
tlu- man; saw the fish; positively true."
"All right; let's here it if it is true,"
chorused several voices.
"Well," said the reverend doctor, "it 1
was a couple of summers ago. I was in
California. In San Francisco, near the
water works, was a large tank, and in j
that tank was a fine, large California
trout, it was very tame and the clerks
used to catch flies and hold them over
the water, and the trout would come up
to the surface and take the fly from their
fingers. Well, one day an id e clerk,
tired of the usual thing, placed a nice,
fat fly upon the hook of a bent pin. llis 1
troutship came up as usuai and was
caught. The clerk released him and enjoyed
th6 joke. But would you believe
it, after that day twenty hotel clerks .
could stand around that tank and that ;
fish would take flies from every one of
them except the man who played the '
loaded fly on him."? Philadelphia Times. |
OripiH of n Famous Apple.
The famous Chazie apples, which are <
the most admired and expensive of all 1
Canadian varieties, and sometimes fetch
as much as $25 a barrel in Co vent '
Harden, London, were not, according to :
the Pall Mull Unzrttc, introduced from '
France into the colony, but were discov- 1
ered by a lucky accident. Chazie, a
Dutchman, was well advanced in years '
in 1Ho4. lie owned a farm a few miles
distant from the Falls of Niagara, and on
that farm he found growing wild a tree :
bearing the apple known as the Chazie?
or "Swayzie," as some writers spell the 1
name. Some one had flung away the
core of an apple; one of the seeds had
sprouted, and grown into a tree bearing
an apple with the flavor of the muskmelon,
double the size of the Lower
Canada pommc grise, and of the same
color and form.
Pressure of the Sea. '
If a piece of wood which floats on the J
water be forced down to a great depth in
the sea the pressure of the surrounding )
liquid will be so severe that a quantity of
water w;ll be so forced into tiie pores of
the wood and so increase its weight that J
it will be no longer capable of floating or
rising to the surface. Hence the timbers
of ships, which have foundered in a deep j
part of the ocean, never rise again to the
surface like those which are sunk near the
shore. A diver may, with impunity, go *
to a certain depth in the sea; but there is
a l:m;t beyond which he is subject to
danger. For the same reason it is probable
that there is a depth below which ;
fishes cannot live. They have, according
to Joshlln, been caught in a depth at f
which they must ha c sustained a pressure
of eighty tons to cach square foot of !
their bodies. i
The following ages have, on the au- r
thority of skilled arboriculturists, been y

Dating Eacli Oilier or Whale Blubber?Hunting
FiBh With Dog*?A
Country of Perpetual Winter.
' 'Do you know who are the most wretchid
people on the face of the earth?" said ,
lohn W. Stoddard, a stout English sailor,
whom a Cincinnati Enquirer man ran
across.
"Why, the poor of London or Ireland," 1
replied the scribe.
"Not a bit of it. Guess again."
"Tim men who catch rats in the sc-*"crs J
of Paris, or tlio.se poor creatures work1, ng
a lifetime in deep underground collierits,
rarely seeing the light of day, :in'l ptiiling
the coal-carts, crawling on their hands
and knees along the tramways."
"No, sir; their lives are happy ones,
when I was before the mast 1 several
times cruised in the China seas, and have
'doubled the Horn' more than once. .
There," the tough old tar continued, "I
saw the most miserable race of pci pie,
the most filthy in their habits, degraded
in disposition, and animals in character,
it was ever my lot to behold. They (all
themselves Fuegians, and lived in the
land called Terra del Fuego."
"The land of fire?"
"Yes, that's it, in Portuguese. It way
formerly considered that this was an
island lying off the southern coast ol
Patagonia, and the nearest land to the
south pole. That's the way the geographies
put it, but it's incorrect. They are
a scries of small and irregular-shaped
islands, some of them having lofty mountains.
and heavily wooded. These Fuegians,"
and here the old tar drew down ,
his face, liuo stark naked the year ronnd,
their only touting being one of dirt, for
they never wash, but the mud is on them
an inch or two thick. Cold? Why, talk
about Dakota! That's not a circumstance.
Snow and ice they have the
year round, and there's water, water
everywhere. Sometimes it lies stagnant
in ponds and marshes. Why, men?that
is, Europeans?have perished with the
cold in midsummer."
"What do they live upon? Does the
country support any food for them?"
"Sometimes they get hold of the carcass
of a dead whale, and that's their
greatest luxury. Yet who this fails
they turn in and eat each other. They
are the worst sort of cannibals, perhaps,
having acquired the taste by eating the
frozen crews of shins that have been
wrecked there, and tfiey are not a few.
Sometimes they obtain their shell-fish,
Tj,,f
seals, sea ouern, ui mu puugum. u..i
rotten whale blubber, no matter how far
decomposed, does not turn the Fuegian's
epicurean stomach.
"They do not have any dwellings, and
such as they are resemble wild beast
lairs, or such a home as the ourangoutang
of Borneo would select. The
native procures a number of tall saplings,
sharpens the points, arranging them in a
sort of circle, driving the sharpened end
into the ground, and draws them to- 1
gether at the top, and covers the whole
with old sealskin or a species of grass
peculiar to the country. There is no i
door to this affair, for it's not worthy
the name of even a hut, and as for furniture,
it consists of grass for a carpet, a
bladder tilled with water fastened upon
the side of the wall, which, when any
of the family want to drink, they go to i
and take a pull. They arc not a
ferocious but hideously ugly race of people,
ridiculously short in stature, with
pouchy stomachs and horrid, long, ugly
matted hair which falls down their neck
and shoulders, giving them an odd look.
The tallest of them is never over live feet
and the women are six inches shorter.
Tho lgh he is not much on dress, yet he
has some variety, and paints white streaks
over tiie black mud that covers him, with
here and-there a yellow or brown spot.
They wear strings of fish-bones about
their ankles, and sometimes about their
necks. There is one peculiarity about
him, and that is, he is as beardless and
whiskerlesa as the Esquimaux, who lives
on the other end of the earth. lie is
more, or as much, at home in the water,
as on land. His canoe is simply a piece
of birch bark fastened with throngs at
both ends, and in this frail structure he
moves along the shores or crosses from
one islet to another. Laws they have
none, hor any sort of religion. They
have no chief or leader, only a conqueror,
and a rude sort of a belief in
devils. One singular custom that
they have is their mode of lishing.
They shoot the fish with arrows
sometimes, but more often hunt them :
with dogs. They have a small breed of
fox-like curs, mean, snarling and as
wretched as themselves. Their owners
don't bother themselves to feed theni nor
care for them at all, so their life is a
sorry existence. Hut they are useful to ,
them for all that. They pursue and (
drive the fish into nets, and thus learn to
occasionally catch one for themselves <
when hunger, as it perpetually does,
]tresses them. These dogs learn to eat
seaweed, which seems to have the same 1
nutriment for them that it docs for their ,
masters.
"Have thev no recreations, no srames,
frolics or revels, like most savage
tribes?"
"'Veil, yes. Sometimes the huge car- '
cass of a monster whale gets stranded 1
among the islets, and, wedged in among '
the ice, dies. Then when the Fuegian
smells the animal, no matter how rotten '
it is, a licet of canoes at once makes for '
the spot. If the carcass is upon the
beach you'll see whole villages move !
toward the spot, men, women '
and children, and in a few '
hours they will return with huge '
l ines of blubber, roti " and greasy, about
their necks. Then fo.lows a great feast 1
and general rejoicing. They eat the 5
blubber raw, apparently knowing noth- 1
ing of cookery. Fish they swallow 1
whole, just as a bird does, tins, scales,
head, tail and all."
" Hut they have tires, and could cook?''
' Oh, yes, and the singular part of it
is their mode of kindling a lire. It is as
original as unique. On the high moun- '
tni'n airloa ia fnnnil ji kind of iron nvritcs.
which, when struck with a pebble, produces
sparks. These tlicy catch upon a
piece of punk, or dead tree, or piece of
moss. Then, having a round ball of dry
grass, they ignite th.s, and by waving it
in the air produce a coal, which, united
to a bundle of sticks, soon produces a
tlame. and the fire is complete."
" But the work is a laborious one?''
"Yes, and for that reason the Fuegian
is very careful of his fire, and wherever
he goes, and he is compel ed by the necessities
of life to continually change his
place of abode, he carries his fire carefully
about with him."'
"The country is well wooded ?''
"Yes; but the woods are of a worthless
character. They are for the most
part a species of birch and beech, which

lbout them is that they may be called

Face of the country is most peculiar. 1
loubt if there is any thing like it to be
round on another quarter of the globe.
There are immense ravines, so deep that J
they appear to be arms or inlets of the '
sea, anil otherwise filled with solid moun- 1
tains of ice that rise perpendicularly, per- ^
haps, a thousand feet. Sometimes these '
fall into the water beneath, or vast over- (
hanging clilTs drop oil, producing a roar 1
to which that of Niagara is but child's \
play, and awakening echoes in this de- 1
serted country that make the scene as ter- '
rible as it is desolate. There are narrow '
channels that run between these dills '
trom ocean to ocean; some of them large *
enough to admit of the passage of the '
largest vessels, others narrow, so that '
the smallest boat could scarce crawl *
through." # t
"Are the Patagonians allied to these
Fuegians?" (
"Not at all. It is doubtful if there
are any two people on the face of the
earth living so near together who are so
totally dissimilar, both in habits and per- '
sonal annearance. While the Patacronian i
is the tallest race in the world, Tjrave,
ithletic, fond of wild sports, the Fueiiun
is the shortest, cowardly and most '
treacherous. "What freak of nature it c
kvi's that placed these two nations of people
at the extreme end of the southern
Hemisphere so totally different I cannot s

The Use of Milk. gr
The consumption of milk is very much ye
ess than it might and should be. One of
piartof milk contains quite as much nu- (pi
riment as one pound of average beef fai
md costs half as much money. Farmers ch
ise comparatively little milk, and much
ess than they could very profitably.
Milk and crackers or bread?when it is
iweet?make a most wholesome and
lutritous food, and if used regularly for an
>ne meal every day would be found far i tei
nore desirable and satisfactory than any | wi
)ther food. The average consumption |
)f u family who purchase their miik is Wj
lot more than one pint per (lay, and the ]y
najority of farmers use milk only in tea coi
ind coffee and rarely as food. Two or |l?
hree quarts of milk a day might be used
n every family with great benefit and
iconomy. With crackers, bread, rico, cas
sago, or tapioca, it makes the most dc- fec
icious puddings, and when sipped
slowly while one is eating a cracker or a wa
liscuit it makes a light supper, which se i
vill encourage restful sleep at all seasons, fee
nit especially in the warm weather.?

Bound in Oak.
A real novelty has been introduced
to book-binding by Mr. Elliot Stock iu
nnection with his facsimile first edition
"The Iieligio Medici." This volume,
[lich has more than usual interest, beusc
it shows the actual spelling and
ording of the famous treatise as it was
ritten by the author for his own edifica>n,
and published surreptitiously by
e printer, is bound apparently between
to slabs of oak, beautifully grained and
jurcd in low relief with a graceful
roll pattern. A close examination,
iwever, shows that the wood is not
lid, the tact being that some ingenious
ventor has discovered a device wherer
solid oak (in this case the wood came
r)m an old chest) can be cut in slices
about the thickness of drawing paper,
i soltened as to receive the impression
a stamped pattern, and being then
'ded over a binding of cardboard made
present the appearance of carved oak.

rally Dencribed.
Something of a sensation was caused In tbi*
city yesterday by a rumor that one of our
bpst known citizens was about to publish a
statement concerning some unusual experiences
during his residence in Syracuse. How
the rumor originated it is impossible to ?ay,
but a reporter immediately sought Doctor 8.
G. Martin, the gentleman in question, and secured
the following interview:
. "What about this rumor, Doctor, that you
are going to make a public statement of some
important matters?"
"Just about the same as you will find in all
rumors?some truth; some fiction. I had
contemphted making a publication of some
remarkable episodes that have occurred in
mv Ufa hut have not comoleted it as yet."
*'Wbat is the nature of it, may I inquirer'
"Why, the fact that I am a human being
instra of a spirit I have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals that periapti
ever o currei to any man. The first intimation
I had of it was several years ago,
wh?n I began to feel chilly at night and restless
af:er retiring. Occasionally this would
bo varied by a soreness of th9 musc'es and
cramps in iny arms and legs. I thought, as
/no*t people would think, tint it was only a
coM and so paid as little attenti n to it as
possible. Shortly after this I noticed a pecul
ar catarrhal trouble and my throat also
bee une inflamed. As if this were not variety
enough I felt sharp pains in my chest,
and a constant tendency to headache,"
" Why didn't you take the matter in hand
and check it right where it was ?"
"Why doesn't everybody do so? Simply
bec juse they think it is only some trifling and
passing disorder. The-e troubes did not
come all at once and I thought it unmanly to
beed them. I have found, though, that
every physical neglect must be paid for and
with large interest. Mi*n cannot draw drafts
on their constitution without honoring them
sometime. These minor symptoms I have
desi rib.-d, grew until they were giants of
agony. I became more nervous; had a
strange fluttering of the heart, an inability
to draw a long breath and an occasional
numbness that was terribly suggestive of
paralysis. How I could have beeu so blind
as not to understand what this meant I cannot
imagine."

"Yes, I traveled. In the spring of 1879 I
went to Kansas and Colorado, and while in
Denver, I wns attacked with a mysterious
hemorrhage of the urinary organs and lost
twenty pounds of flesh In three weeks. One
day nfter my return I was taken with a terrible
chill and at once advanced to a very severe
attack of pneumonia. left lung
soi>n entirely filled with water, and my legs
and body became twice their natural size. I
was obliged to sit upright in bed for several
weeks in the midst of the severest agony,
with my arms over my head,and in constant
fear of suffocation."
"And did you still make no attempt to save
yourself
"Yes, I made frantic efforts. I trie 1 everything
that see ned to offer the least prospect
of relief. I called a council of doctors and
bad them make an exhaustive chemical and
microscopical examination of my condition.
Five of the best physicians of Syracuse and
several from another city said I must die !
It seemed as though their a^rtion was
true, for my feet became cold, my mouth
parched, my eyes wore a fixed glassy stare,
my boiv was covered with a cold, clammy
death sweat, and I read my fate in the anxious
expressions of my family and friends."
"But the finale?"
"Came at last. My wife, aroused to desperation,
began to a lmini. ter a remedy upon
her own responsibility, and whilo I grew
better very slowly, I gained ground surely

"Not c >mmnn! On the contrary, it is one
of the most common. The trouble is, few
people know they have it. It has so few
marked s mptoms until its final stage that a
person mav have it for years, each year get]

enthusiastic over this remedy while my wife

over which it has singular power.

Tlmclr sns??<rlonH About Pneumonia.
This i.-> the time of year when so many iarsons
fall victims to pneumonia and other
lung diseases. Hence, we call attention to
the following interview with a prominent
physician:
" What is pneumonia ?"
" Pneumonia is an acute lunz disease, and
commences with a severe chill and fever. It
seems to b<i an affection of the lungs, but it
is r? a'ly caused by tne bloo 1 beine impoverished
by the non-removal of natural acid, by
the liver and kid e?s. Pneum mia is always
proof of diseased kidneys and liver. Indeed,
tiiis is true of many other lung disorders
also.
"Pneumonia is a very dangerous disease and
the patient mast be treated with hot drinks,
and the chest be covered with mustard poultices.
and then call the best physician."
' If/uv w iilil von nrevoiit such diseases.'" I
"iiy keeping"' the' akin, liver, b>wels and
kidn'-ys in healthful activity. Then the blood
is <:eo from ac d puis >ns and pneumonia
need not bj fearel." For this purpose we
know of nothing better tiian Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorito Remedy, which is a hieh'y
renfited specitt" for all livfr. kidney, bowel
and blood disorders. It is made, we believe,
at liondout, N. Y., sells for one dollar abittie,
and is the best and surest of ail household
