To this la ter class belonged i the young man who leaned lazily on the piazza railing, and loo <ed absently out on i Lake Winnipake. Ueide him in a huge | chair, sat a little worn in rocking to and j ; fro, with an untiring movement, and i with deft fingers plying in and out among bright silk and crewels. She was j idle, too, in her woman's laborious way, j but there was a lack of repose in her indolence that made it restful to turn again I to her brother, who stood in statuesque < inaction, looking mio uie sun water i below. "What arc vim going to do, to day ?" the iittIf woman a.-ked. I . Nothing."' "There's a great deal going on, and : vcrv niee sort of people, too. Do you } see that pretty girl down there at the j landing The one with rod "Yes, don't you think she's pretty ?" "1 hadn't thought of it." "Well, she is?remarkably.

I look like it," laughed the b young man. ''I'll tell you how it is; 1 K'. simply want my liberty. It doesn't pay ?this dancing attention on half a dozen W girls whom you never see again." flj^ "Oh, Wi 11. don't, then." Hen Adams at twenty-one had performed his social duties with great zest. Four years later he was stili heart whole, and beginning to take a purely fraternal interest in blushing debutantes. He danced less and went to the opera alone, or with his friend Rutland, a con finned bachelor of twenty-nine. With entire 1 resignation young Adams acted as usher at main fashionable weddings, and with- 1 out a sigh saw Catharine. Kate and Kitty led down the aisle by other men. And so he approached his thirties and within a year of them leaned idly over the piazza railing at Lake Winnipake, and declared to liis sister that "Kobinson : &' Crusoe was the luckiest fellow of his acquaintance. (.live me a desert isle for a summer sojourn. What would refresh a man like going back to savag. ery!" 1 "I don't think it would be enough of i a change to benefit some I know," laughed his sister. ''"Well, Ben, all I I i can say is, you are very different from what you use to be.'' k In the meanwhile the boat below : j pushed off.and Adams followed it with his eyes, chiefly because it would have been I more trouble to look another way. The |- young lady in the stern was Miss Josepli| ine Vail, and the boy at the oars was her twelve year-oia nromer. ,jo.>i-piuui; a young lady of views supported by more or less logic and by what some thought an exttemely pretty face. Jler enemies ?but she had none?would have said that while she despised conventionalities ^ ^ no one was more annoyed when obliged to disregard them, and while she re- , sented the protecting limitations of her sex, she was quite willing to accept the attentions based on the theory of their existence, ller father said one day: "Nothing would take the kinks out of Josephine like settling down with a good husband." The young lady took it in high dudgeon, and went away meekly to wonder if it were true. On this particular Juiy morning Josephine accepted i her brother Tom's services as oarsman, fc>To. not because she was not perfectly able to row herself, but because it would keep Tom out of mischief. "Don't rock the boat, Tom. It doesn't i frighten me, but I can't read." There was a pause. " Row near the bank, in the shade, Tom." Another long pause. "Say, sis," said Torn at length, "now j we're off. I'll tell you where we're ' going." .. miv^w.t iv. , ,, .v going to take mo out for a row." "Not much. I'm going two miles 1 about to see some fellows who are camping out.'' "And going to take mc ? I think you arc mistaken, sir. (Jive me those oars." "No you don't. Leave 'em alone and ' sit still." "Tom, turn this boat instantly, or I'll What"11 you do ? Come now; you sit , still or I'll " "Tom, there's the Desert Island just ahead. Don't run into it. He careful; you're going straight toward it." I "We might land there,"' he said, t blandly. Eil "To be sur-- we might,"said his sister, f glad of anything to divert him from the j I lirst scheme. I "All right, just as you say." E Tom turned his boat t-oward the great j rock, which lifted ils broad back out of ; the water. It was fitly called the Desert j Isle, for its few square feet of surface | supported not so much as a blade of grass or a bit of lioss. "Hop out." said Tom: "I'vegot to see r to the boat. I guess you can climb up to . the top easy enough." "Of crours.-! I can." said Josephine; 1 A "as if I needed your help, you little : - monkey." ! In a moment she stood at the top of j the rock, and in another moment a de- j risivc laugh came from below. "(Jood-by; I hope you will enjoy yourself. I'll see you later." js . Plato says: "A boy i= the most ! vicious of wild bca^s.'" Plato and Miss j Vail were of one opinion on that point. ! She looked about her and took in the | situation. She was monarc h of about , twenty-five feet of rough gray rocks, the L "" "Tups of which defended abruntlv to the ' P water. Perched high on this pedestal, i lier figure stood out against the sky in ' bold relief. A book and parasol were j lier only accessories, for by some happy inspiration she had clunyr to these. The sun was high in the heavens, but its hot I rays were mercifully tempered by a soft J breeze on the lake. Josephine seated herself, raised her j parasol and opened her hook. She faced i the probability that at least two hours of | noonday solitude were before her. The philosophical course of action was to make the best of it. But what a situation to be discovered in! She remembered with satisfaction that a large I party had gone on a picnic to-day, and I the dowagers left behind were not | ?ivcnto boating at high noon. She tried to think how she should laugh it oft if anybody should see her, but under the most cheerful aspect she seemed to herself a little ridiculous spectacle. To be ridiculous in a good cause had in it an element of heroism, but the pfescnt situation was one of unmitigated absurdity, and Josephene Vail always 1 \ felt the heroic rather than the comic to ' She her forte. Once tears of real vexation 1 started as her head began to throb in : sympathy with the Lot pulsation of the ] air about her. ' An hour had dragged its length when J Josephene suddenly lifted her head and > listened painfully. A man's veicc sing- i ing and the splash of oars, and, yes, in 1 an instant, a boat swung slowly around t the bend. One man sat in it lazily t singing. c ''It's that base creature who watched 1 us oil this morning. It's a type I detest. And to think he should see me here! 1 It's really more than lean endure." The < girl looked with envy ob the tortoise i which slipped easily from the base of the s rock into the water as he heard the dis- I t turbing sound of oars. I s "I hope he'll have the good taste to ' s appose I came here of my own free will. I? wouldn't think of interfering with no, I hope. What! I believe he'scomnir straight toward me!" Josephene turned the leaves of her >ook with an interest that jyrew every noment more intense. ISut at length leeeiicy required some recognition of the tearing boat. The youn<r man was rownj; now as if he had renewed interest in ife. lie was soon at the base of the ock. ' I beg your pardon," ho said, as he aised his hat; "can I be <>f any service 0 your 'You arc very kind, sir. You find mc 11 :i very absurd condition." ' You have evidently been .shipwrecked. Vie you the sole survivor*'' "No, not shipwrecked, but' put ashore ind abandoned by my cruel tyrant of a jrothcr. To tell you the truth, sir. I am he victim of a practical joke. My little jrothcr has left me here while he goes farther up the lake to visit some friends ivho are camping there." "I beg you will make use of my boat, I [hen. to return. I will come up to you in one moment."' Leaping out of his boat before Mi>s Vail could say a word he drew it up on 1 low shelf of the rock and quickly reached lier side. "Let me help you," the young man said, with such a firm assurance of good breeding that she made no resistance or Attempt at independence, but accepted the urolTered aid in a quiet, matter-of course way. "Your boat! your boat, sir!" she suddenly cried. It was too late. The rising hrce/.c drove the water with such force ugainst the rock so as to dislodge the boat, and before Adams could grasp it, it was gayly tilting about, a half dozen yards away. The two looked at each other a moment and then laughed, though both were conscious of its being questionable taste. Adams sobered and said: "Cau you ever forgive me. Miss?*' "Miss Vail; I am Miss Vail." "And 1 am Mr. Adams. Can you be magnanimous enough to forgive me?" : i.i i.t " 1 liai IS U1U i you." "Ah, you evade mine. At any rate I sliall never forgive myself. A worse bit of bungling I never saw. The truth is, Miss Vail, 1 have had very little experience in rescuing fair ladies. You are the lirst whose life 1 have tried to save. I am no hero, as you see." The genuine anuoyancc of her companion roused the compassion of Josephine, and she began to talk to hint with a desperate cheerfulness and acceptance of the situation. "What a cold-blooded little villain that brother of yours must be, Miss Vail, to desert you in this fashion. I suppose we must throw ourselves on his mercy when he comes back, llow are you going to account for me? Consider me your man Friday."' Beneath their light talk ran an undercurrent of more or less bitter meditation on the part of each. Miss Vail shuddered to think what a good story this would make to circulate among her friends, while Adams foresaw how it would add to the conviviality of the club. He began with the fervent wish mat tie was uiu 01 the scrape, lie ended, I am glad to confess, by ceasing to envy Robinson Crusoe his desert isle, and considering his own far preferable. There was a breeziness 11 bout this girl that made him forget the mount in <; thermometer. She had a way of going to the point, and, moreover she had a point, two things which Hen Adams told his sister lie appreciated in a woman. In short, by dint of making the best of it, .Miss Vail and Adams were both able to express. honest suprisc when a boat appeared in the distance, and in taking out his watch, Adams found it to be :> o'clock. "Now!" was all Josephine said, but there were conflicting emotions in the monosyllable. "Iluilo-o!" shouted a shrill voice across the water. 44 IIullo-o!" called Adams back. Blank astonishment wiped all exprcs sion out of Tom's face at first, but a broad grin finally made its appearance. " You're a great one. Jo," lie muttered. "I'd like to know where you wouldn't find a beau. Did lie drop down out of the clouds?" "IIusli, sir; you have been a very naughty boy." As they rowed home Adams devoted himself to cultivating the acquaintance of the young scapegrace. The latter proved very approachable, and Adams found no difficulty in persuading hint to go fishing the next day. When they were home at last. Josephine took her brother into her room and turned the key. "Tom. you've treated me very badly to-day. What would you give if i would not tell father? You wouldn' like to be sent back tt) the military school, you know." "Say, sis. I'll tell you what," and the little wretch gave a wink of immense satisfaction; '"if you won't tell on me, I won't tell on you. Honor bright." ".Mrs. Adams," said Mr. Hen Adams to his wife at their wedding reception a year lifter. "Don't you think we might afford to tell people how we met; 1 never knew a secret kept better.

SCIENTIFIC AM) INDUSTRIAL. One of the latest inventions enables a person to light gas-jets by an electric battery contained in a small portable tube. An English naturalist asserts that tinhedgehog cannot be poisoned, neither strychnine,arsenic nor prussicacid having any etrect upon it. It eats adders, regardless of their venomous fangs. The cotton-wood is being largely planted on the treeless ranges of the far West. Its wood is of but little value, but the growth is rapid and furnishes protection to trees of greater value. It is much used as a shelter to timber. Cr. Luigi Volpe estimates that there are in Italy at present 2,000,000 cows, which annually producc !JS4.0()0,000 gallons of milk, of which one-third is employed as food for calves, one-third is consumed in the natural condition, while the remaining 12(5,000,000 are devoted to the manufacture of butter and cheese, and for this purpose have a value of S'21.-100,000. A reent writer on the emotions of in fants says curiosity shows itself the minute a child begins to take interest in other things beside its food: and when, though it still carries everything to its mouth, it does so merely because the tongue is the finest as well as the most exercised organ of touch. At this stage the child handles things, looks at them closely, pulls them to pieces, and so in playing instructs himself. What cannot be made out of paper is something which cannot yet be safely decided. A Hartford (Conn.) man has lately taken out patents for devices by which very beautiful and substantial carpets can be made of paper at prices much lower than the cost of common cotton matting. This new fabric even seems to have qualities entirely superior to ordinary carpets. It can be doctored so as to resist water, lire and insects without losing any of the soft elegance which is common to line woolen carpets. So sayetli the inventor and his friends. Moiled and Raw Milk. W. Mattieu Williams says in r<>/i>i!nr Sc.la.ee. Monthly: The cookery of milk i> very simple, hut by no means unimportant. That there is an appreciable difference between raw and boiled milk may be proved by taking equal quantities of each (the boiled sample having been allowed to cool down), adding them to equal quantities of the same infusion of coffee, then critically lasting the mixtures. The difTe. ence is sufficient to have long since established the practice among ill skillful cooks of scrupulously using boiled milk for making cafe au lait. J !iave tried a similar experiment on tea. uid find that in this case the cold milk is preferable. Why this should be, why [jailed milk should be better for coffee ?nd raw milk for tea, I can not tell. If iny of my readers have not done so al e:idy, let thein try similar experiments vith condensed milk, and I have no doubt ;hat the verdict of the majority will be h it it is passable with colTee, but very objectionable in tea. This is milk that ias been very much cooked. The chief definable alteration effected >y the boiling of milk is the coagulation >f the small quantity of albumen which t contains. This rises as it becomes lolidified, and forms a skin-like scum on he surface, which may be lifted with a poon and eaten, as it is perfectly wholeome and very nutritious. THE JOURNALISTIC JOKERS.

Chicwjo Tribune. The Ileal Rcatcii. "You've got some nice wood over there in your yard,'" said a seedy-looking tramp to an Austin avenue lady. "Yes," said the lad\ of the house. "1 would like to carry it in for you." said he. "My husband intends to carry it in,'* she replied. "Well," said the tramp. "I will carry it in and pile it up nice if you will give me my breakfast."

This seenvd to rouse the lady's sympathy and she went in and soon returned with an excellent breakfast. After he had swept everything from the board he arose and said: "Thanks, my good lady, for this sumptuous repast. Now let me give you this advice: Never again let your sympathy get away with your discretion. I'm off. Ta, ta !*" and he walked majestically out the front gate. The tramp had gone but a short distance when he became deadly sick. lie seated himself 011 a curbstone, and a few moments later, having two or three violent spasmodic contractions of the stomach, he lost his ill-gotten breaklast. Indeed his stomach would have followed suit had it not been thoroughly dovetailed to his diaphragm. He believed that he was poisoned, and he became very much alarmed. As soon as he regained strength enough to get to his feet he slowly retraced his steps and found the lady standing in the front door. ".Madam," he said in piteous tones, "my breakfast did not stay on my stomach. I believe I'm poisoned." "That is not to be wondered at," said cl.,.

You would have said as you looked nim over that lie was a man of fiery temper, and that it would take over two ' sass words" to make him peel of! his coat and snil in for victory or death, but you would have been sadly mistaken. He was writing away in his ledger .when a man camc in, shoved his gas bill into 1 1 - . lilt' winuow, uuu ?;iui: " Is this where they knock a man down and roh him?" The man at the window smiled. " Because, it's no more nor less than highway robbery to semi m<: a l)ill like that! Twelve dollars for teas for Januarv. and the meanest kind ot gas at that!" The smile continued. ' Why people will stand such outrageous treatment is a puzzle to me." continued the man, as lie thing his money in after the bill. '' 1 never burned six dollars worth of gas last month, and I'll swear to it!"' The rebate was deducted, change made, and th" mail at the window passed it out with a thank you. "Yes, it's robbery!" muttered the other, "ami I'll be handed if I can't lick any three gas-men i? Detroit!" He expected a reply, but none was given. The smile faded out to some extent, but perhaps that was because the pen made a blot on the ledger. The next comer was a short, fat woman with an eye full of brimstone, and you could see that she was aching for a riot. "Can 1 have my pocket picked in hcref"' lie smiled. ''And robbed of the bread which my fatherless children arc crying for?" He nodded. "And swindled out of money that I have had to work for like a slave?"' "Vcs'm."' "Oh! I thought so!

"I'll'never pay it! Kvery one of my neighbors has advised me to stand a lawsuit first!" He drummed on' the desk with his fingers. "Hut I will pay it this one time, as my sister is sick and I don't want the lawyers kicking in the doors and climbing through the windows." He held out his hand. "But another time I'll law you?I'll law you from Halifax to Ilaverstraw before I'll pay! There's the money!" He made change, whistling softly to himself, and as she put the bill in her pocket she snapped out: "Even a grave robber ought to have a little conscience!" But he didn't hear her. He was figuring at the ledger again.?Detroit Free Press. . Hcnrv Wheeler, of Hickory Flats, Ga., is seventy-four years old, has lived in the sainc house forty-nine years, never owed a cent, sold corn at one dollar a bushel all through the war, has the first silver dollar he ever saw screwed fast to j the inside of his clock, has nineteen children and grand and fjreat grandchildren enough to run his direct posterity to 121, is haie and hearty, never 6niokes, chews, or drinks, and is supremely hap y.

The Ivurile islands, forming an almost unknown archipelago, drop like a chain of small links from ICamsehatka down to the Japanese island of Ycssc, so closing in the Okaliotsk sea from the Northern Pacific. They have recently been ceded by the czar to the mikado in exchange I for the large island, of Saghalin. The] islanders are a small race, hardy, honest and peaceable. By the Aleuts they are called the "hairy men," but whether this I is because they dress entirely in skins or because they are sparingly provided with that arctic rarity, a beard, is not known. Anything more cheerless and unlovely than the lives of the Kurileans can scarcely be imagined. Living on what is not much more than a succession of huge steppingstones from Ivamscliatka to Japan, they arc exposed to the full fury and rigor of the winters of the far North. Th'e spring is comparatively pleasant, but with the summer comes on such fogs that ar impenetrable wall seems to be raised between the islands and the rest of the world. The fogs clear ofT, there is a brief glimpse of a low sun, and then the bleak winter conies ;iiown oiacm^ uguiu. Not a thing grows on the islam! except moss, the whole group being destitute of tree, or shrub, or blade of grass. For food the natives depend upon whatever they may catch in tiieir fishing and hunting expeditions, with the rare addition of a little bear's meat whenever bruin is adventurous enough to swim oir from the mainland. Just as the islands are destitute of foliage, so they are of animals, the only creature on them, beside the natives, being a breed of small, swift foxes. The habits of the Ivurilcans are in -* f. ... ir "1.. Keeping witli tilt,- surroundings. nuruv and adventurous, having no such word as home in their meagre language and no appreciation of such an institution, they roam in their canoes from island to island, killing whatever breathes, putting up rude huts when thev are forced into winter quarters, but generally despising anything like shelter and living in their boats. So little are they used to the art of construction that, unlike their fellow-natives, thev do not build skin canoes, but make up what arc called baidara, a class of craft that is as primitive as the rest of their habits. Wrecks are not infrequent, and the islanders wandering along the shore pick up whatevcrdriftwood maybe scattered about, the women being gent-rally engaged in this harvest of llotsam and jetsam. The pieces are rudely tied together with thongs in the shape of a long box and calked with moss. The roughness of the elements and the roughness of the work are not particularly conducive to seaworthiness, and they generally spring a heavy leak an hour after they are launched. To keep them afloat the Ivurileans always put a load of moss and a couple of women on board, the moss being to stop up whatever cracks may open, and the women being cm ployed in this work with a bunch of moss and a piece of stick, daubing any particular obstinate crevice with a lump of seal fat. Nomadic as they arc, the Kurilcnns have still some sort of a capital, and make infrequent and erratic visits to the village of Shumshu, which, after all, is little more than a collection of huts, now rapidly falling into decay and nearly deserted. Siam's Floating Capital. In many points Bankok is more Venetian than Venice itself, writes a traveler. In the queen of the Adriatic? despite those "bright streamlet veins" about which modern poets make such a stir?one can walk through fully twotliinls of the town without being indebted to the traditional gondola at all. In the Siamese Venice it is far otherwise. The main street is the river, and there are no side streets at all. Your opposite neighbor lives upon the other bank, and before calling on him yon have to call a boat. The native children play in the water as tliey would play on land elsewhere, and many of the houses, moored to posts by short cables of rattan, rise and fall with the tide like anchored vessels. Indeed, with the exception of one long straggling road running parallel with the river along its left bank, the land might just ns well not be there at all. The approach to this singular place is as picturesque as itself. Far out at sea you descry along the eastern horizon a dim procession of purple shadows, which, as you near them, resolve themselves into bold rocky islets, with green clumps of wooding scattered broadcast over the dark red sternness of their gloomy cliffs and craggy ridge. One by one they arc left behind, and now there begins to rise out of the smooth sea, far away in front of us, something that looks at first sight like an endless line of soldiers in battle array. These are the trees of the Siamese coast. Soon the water all around us turns thick and soup-like, wearing a deep dvc of vellowish brown, which an ? JJUUIHJUS IUUI u jiiili11i\ man nuius mat are approaching the mouth of the "beautiful, the pea-soup colored river" that flows by the town of Bankok. All in a moment the foul beer-colored stream and the low mud-banks on either side, and the long, dark, leathery mangrove leaves, which quiver like snakes' tongues in the | rank, white fever-mist that curls up through them from the rotting depths below arc transformed into a fairy land. The broad, smooth river, now bright with the silver sheen of the moonlight, now fading into ghostly shadow, formsa background worthy of haute. Here and there amid the black masses of forests twinkles a solitary point of lire, showing where some Siamese fisherman has built his little nest of bamboo and dried grass amid this strange wilderness, which is neither land nor water, but a weird chaos of both. But these lights, and the shadowy boats that flit past like phantoms ever and anon, are the sole tokens of human life in the depths of this grand and lonely stillness, unbroken save by the hollow rush of the swift, dark current speeding onward to the sea. By day this mighty jungle would be simply a foul and unwhoiesofhc swamp; but by night it is transformed into a scene of enchantment through the magic of that lriendlv darkness which, like charity or u lawyer's wig, covers a multitude of sins. Ten Million Car Wheels. "There are more than 10,000,000 iron ear wheels in use on American railroads," said the master mechanic of one of the trunk lines, "and it requires about 52.> poinds of pig iron to make one wheel. About 1,250,000 wheels are worn out every year, and the same number of new ones must be made to take their places. The iron men are called upon for only a small proportion of the 2,500 tons of mateiial required for these new wheels, however, for nearly 200.000 tons are supplied by the worn-out wheels themselves. Formerly the lift* of a car wheel was estimated at eight years, but the reduction of the railroads generally to the standard I ffiinri. niifl tin- inmrnvmnciits in loadinsr and unloading facilities, have materially decreased the length of service that a wheel may be depended oil to perform. The uniformity in guagc keeps cars in more continuous use, while the decrease in time of loading and unloading enables them to be put to more active service even where they are run only on short local routes. "These figures do not include the wheels 011 palace coaches and the better class of passenger coaches. The wheels on that grade of rolling stock are now made almost exclusively of paper. They are as serviceable jus iron, and combine lightness with strength, a great desideratum where speed and economy in motive power are now of paramount importance." ?Knr }'(!) /. Sun. A Leap-Year Episode. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Villi says; Society, as a sort j of jest, has decreed that any younj; man | who refuses a leap-year proposal from a [ ladv is in honor bound to present her with a new silk dress. There are a num' ber of "old maids" in town who have already accumulated enough silk dresses to stock a dry goods warehouse. Hut that is not what 1 desired to say. One day last week a younir man in society here paid a visit to a young lady friend. They were not engaged, but he had ( ii'iin Ainrlnnon lw> ?kah1<1 lll-x. uiiu at' nwiim IIKU to be if he could only muster up sufficient confidence. lie had been fooling along on the outside edges of an engagement for six months or more, and the lady began to grow anxious. It was one of those cases where both parties floundered around in the sweet meshes of love, without ever coming to an open understanding. On the evening in question the lady, half in jest and wholly in earnest, proposed to ! him. lie said that silks were unusually J high priced, and that if shu would he married at once he would accept. Much to his surprise, she did accept, and the couple visited the parsonage of n neighboring clergyman, where the bride produced the license, showing that her determination was not a sudden freak of fancy, and the pair were made man and wife. AMONG THE JERSEY COWS. VISIT TO A MODEL PBTOSYLVAHXA STOCK 7ABM. 1 flutter Wliicli Sell# at Fifty Cent* a Pound ?Twenty Cows Worth J More Than ?2,000 Each. "Gath," in the Cincinnati Enquirer, gives the following account of his visit to the stock farm of Joseph C. Sibley, near Franklin, I'enn. Franklin is surrounded with the derricks of oil -wells, looking like skeleton churcii spires, to the number of scores and hundreds, and most of these are still pumping a small quantity of oil per diem.

Sibley, perhaps the most complete in all its appointments now in this country. Connected with it in different tracts are about six hundred acres of land, and it has a race-course used by the county agricultural society. Near the gate going in is the creamery, which manufactures two barrels of cream into butter in about forty-five minutes, and this butter is sent all over the country at fifty cents a pound. On the top of the hill is the barn, which is of an octagonal or almost circular pattern, and contains the entire herd on two floors. From the cupola of the barn, which gives the ventilation, descends a pole, around which is a winding stair connecting the two Hours. In the center of each floor is a large open snace. and the circle of cattle faces this in stalls, their heads all appearing1 above the stalls, and the troughs at their knees. Behind this row of cattle is an open corridor, also circular, around which the second greater circle of cattle stand at their stalls. On the upper floor a portion of this second circle is devoted to the cows with calves or about to calve. The cows in calf are generally kept dry where this is possible, so that the calf can get the full nourishment; but it is exceedingly diflicult in some cases to dry the Jersey cow, as the tenacity with which she makes milk is the great secret of her value. She is the most wonderful butter-making animal known to man. Other kinds of cattle run to beef, but the Jersey so assimilates her food that the globules which might make beef How in her milk, and hence the extraordinary production of some of these cows, and their high prices in a country where the chemist has been at work with butter, and h.:s given us various forms of wagon grease and coalar instead of the Alderney producc. The importation of Jersey cattle into the United States began about seven years before the war. It has gone on with such enthusiasm that we now have about 21,000 Jerseys, either imported or born here, every one of which is registered in the Jersey herd-book, that is now assuming the proportions of a library. The Jersey cattle? by which general name is meant cattle of Jersey, Sark and Alderney?improve in this country over their condition in their native islands,* and they make more crcatn and butter, and thrive wonderfully. They are distributed over the entire country. They are generally of a fawn color, with rather dark gray or blackish faces; the cows are very gentle, and the bulls vicious. I was interested in two things in this stable. In the first place the cream separator, which is run by a steam engine, revolves with enormous rapidity, and the cream Hows out of one spigot and lw? olrimm/vl millf nut. n( nnnt.hor Thf'Il ' I observed the apparatus for cleaning cows, which arc carefully washed and | brushed once or twice a day by means of brushes operated by the engine. The] cow, calf or bull is brought forward and tied to a post, and from above these brushes are brought to her body, and carefully raise every hair. The cattle like it, but their tails have to be tied up in a bag, for not long ago one of the brushes tore out a tail. The temperature in the barn is kept at fifty degrees the year round, regulated by I the thermometer, and the barn is lighted with the Brush light on every lloor, and at midnight is as bright as day. A storage battery is kept near the engine for this purpose. The light used is the ordinary gas bracket and small lamp. At Prospect Ilill farm the barn is eighty eight feet in diameter. There are thirty-two cattle 011 the inner rows and forty-six on the rear rows. The engineer has fifteen-liorse power. The food given the animals is boiled and mixed, partly oats and partly ensilage, or leaves of corn plucked when the ear is full of milk. The cattle like tins food very much, and it improves their butter. The Jersey cow can be relied on to make one pound of butter a day; many of them make sixteen pounds a week, and some of their performances are almost fabulous. By the machinery used at Prospect Hill it takes thirty-five minutes only to separate the cream from the milk of forty-five cows. The separator is a Swedish patent. In one hour from the commencement of the milking the cream is in the creamery and the skimmed milk is being fed to the calves. Mr. Sibley says that the keep of his cattle in the winter is some where be? * ., ,w i?,f I V\ Ul'll UMV4 Llllllj V/WIUO it v?"T, uuv that for a portion of the voar they do not cost above eight cents a day. There are , about thirteen men employed on the herd farm, and the cost of running it is about ?17.000 a yeur. At Prospect Hill there arc forty-five milch cows, producing not less than one pound per diem of butter, while a good deal of the milk without being skimmed is given to the calves. There are twenty cows in the stable that ?2,000 apiece would not buy. Fishing for Sponges. The sponge trade, according to the re. port of our consul at Nassau, gives cm ployment to several thousand persons and some hundreds of vessels. The sponges are divided into coarse and fine, of which the former bring in about five dollars per hundred weight, and the latter double that sum. The principal varieties, in the order of their value, are known as i sheep-wool, white reef, abaco velvet, dark reef, boat, hard-head, grass, yellow and glove; and of some of these varieties there are several grades, designated by numbers, all being used for mechanical, srtrgical and bathing purposes. Bahama and Florida sponges are about equal in texture and value, but both are inferior to those of the Mediterranean. The ves 5>UIIS l-lll |M<n> I'll ill ajiunyiiii; air omaii, with crows of from six to twelve men. About six weeks' provisions are taken on board, and they then coast along the banks and reefs, where the water is shallow, and generally so clear that the sponges are readily seen, and are brought to the surface by hooked polos, or sometimes by diving. When lirst brought up they are covered with a soft gleatinous substance, as black as tar, and full of organic life, the sponge, a* we know it, being only the skeleton of the organism. The days' catch is spread out on the dock, so as to I ill the mass of animal lifo, which in dying omits a most unpleasant smell. Then the spongers go ashore and build a pen, or "crawl,'' of stakes Hose to the water's edge, so that the action of the'tide may wash away the black covering, in which it is aided by pounding the sponges with sticks. "When this operation is completed the sponges are strung upon small palmetto strips, three or four to a strip, which is called "a bead,' when they are taken to Nassau, to be sold in the sponge market under certain conditions and regulations, nobody being allowed to sell his cargo otherwise than through this sponge exchange. On the conclusion of the sale the sponges arc taken to the packing yard, where they are sorted, clipped, soaked in lime-Wit^r, and spread out to dry in the sun.

The Sidney (Australia) Telegraph says: A singular story has been related to us by the master of the bark Gladstone, which arrived there from London. While the vessel was in latitude forty-two degrees 6outh and longitude ninety degrees east, a seaman fell overboard from the starboard gangway. The bark was scudding along with a rough sea and moderate wind, but on the alarm of "man overboard " being given, she was rounded to and the starboard lifeboat was lowered, manned by the chief officer and four men. A search for the unfortunate man was made, but owing to the roughness of i i-i ,i: a. u.,4. tllC SCSI X1U L'UIUU I1UI UL' UUJUUVUIL'U i UUl the boat steered to the spot where he was last seen. Here they found him floating but exhausted, clinging for dear life to the legs and wings of a huge albatross. The bird had swooped down on the man while the latter was struggling with the waves and attempted to peek him with its powerful beak. Twice the bird attacked its prey unsuccessfully, being beaten off by the desperate sailor battling with two enemies?the water and the albatross?both greedy and insatiable. For the third time the huge white form of the bird hovered over the seaman, preparatory to a final swoop. The bird, eager for its meal, fanned its victim with its wide-spread wings. Suddenly a thought occurred to him that the huge form so close to his face might become his involuntary rescuer. Quick as thought he reached up and seized the bird, which lie proceeded to strangle with all his might. The hujre creature struggled with wings and paddles to free itself. In the contest the sailor was beaten black and blue and cruelly lacerated, but he held his own, and slowly the bird (juivered and died. The carcass floated lightly on the waves, its feathers forming a comfortable support for the exhausted man, who had so narrowly escaped a lingering death. But another danger awaited him. He was not much of a swimmer, and the excitement of the extraordinary conflict began in toll unnn him. lie was faint and crrew giddy. But with one arm around the | albatross' body, under the wing, and one hand clutching the bird's feet, the sailor awaited his chance of rescue. Presently he heard his comrades shout from the boat, and in a few minutes more was safe on board the bark, though a good deal shaken and exhausted. Scared. The other morning a citizen of Sprout street who looked the very picture of health was waiting to take the car, and whistling as a man will when at peace with all the world, when along came an acquaintance who halted abruptly, gazed at him in a doubtful way, and finally held out his hand with the remark: "Well, well! Then I was mistaken!" 'In what?" "Why, I thought I heard my wife reading your death notice two weeks ago, and knowing how bad your liver? "My death notice! Why, there isn't a healthier man in Detroit!" "And knowing how badly your liver was alTected."' continued the other, "I didn't wonder at it. You are a terribly careless man." "Why, how!" "In not taking more care of yourself. The liver is a great vital organ, and no man showing the symptoms you do has any right to neglect searching for a remedy." "-My liver! I'll bet you $50 that my?." "Nevermind! If you want to be obstinate that's your lookout, and not mine. I I simply promise to be one of the pall wearers, uooci morning: It was wonderful how the smile faded and the whistling ceased. Instead of taking the car the man headed downtown at a slow pace, a half-scared look on his face, and it was only by a great ellort that he passed the first drug store. When lie came to the second lie walked in, and without even referring to the weather, he said: "Doc. my liver is a trifle out of order, and I guess I'll buy a bottle of invigorator." lie got it and hurried off, anxious to reach the oflicc and get down a dose, and no man will see a smile on his face again until he calls upon some doctor and learns that his liver is working away like a two-horse engine and shows no signs of skipping a cog.?Free Press.
