HO! WINTER.
I.
Ha! Winter, ho! Winter,
King cf the northern blast!
You meet us all, you greet us all,
With grip that free:'-es fast.
In regal pomp you've gathered up
Your royal robes of snow,
And by their trailing men shall trace
Whatever ways you go.
Your grim retainers all, alack!
Make but a cruel train
Of biting sleet and stinging winds
And ice and frozen rain.
The rich with furs and bla??iir Hearths
_ . _ Your carnival may scorn.
While Mirth anil Cheer will reign supremo
From wassail cvo till inorn.
II.
But hal Winter, ho! Winter,
What about the Po r!
Who've no stronghold against the cold,
No bribe or sinecure
To set at bay the stinging day.
Or soften down the night?
Who note the thickening window-panes
With sinking hearts affright?
Who draw their babies c lose and sing
Their shivering lullaUys,
Then sleep and dream of steaming feasts
Their hunger-sleep supplies ?
To wake at morn with shuddering sense
Of lengthened fast and cold,
And find that gaunt-eyed Want bath wrought
Its trace within the fold.
Ha! Winter, ho. Winter,
Hard your reign on thee;
God pity such! and sen 1 warm hearts
To all who starve and freeze.

KARL BKRGER'S PUPIL
BY O. A. C'01'KI..YNP.
Karl Merger went to Milan at just the
tight time. It had bccome quite the
fashion to run down the Italian method
of instrumental instruction, and to extol
the method of their Northern compeers.
Karl Berger came. I lis name sounde 1
like aGermau's, and he played music like
a master, aad that was a!I that was
needed. Pupils flocked to him, and he
set his own prices. Even the city itself,
through its governors, agreed to place
three pupils with him annually, at its
own expense, as long as he should remain
there. This was triumph enough to
turn the head of a much older man, and
Karl himself was only three and twenty
years old. He sat in his room one night
about two weeks after his arrival, smokine
his biff nine with china bowl and
congratulated himself, llerc was success
indeed!
He wondered what his old teacher,
the Herr Kapellmeister, would say to his
success. lie looked around the room,
furnished as comfortably as most in the
city, and felt a grim satisfaction in know- j
ing that the plebeian Karl Merger was |
taking his ease in the very chamber where
/ Ca,sar Borgia had once slept. Ilis was
a nobility as high as his ancient predecessor,
lie said to himself, and he
laughed grimly, for the young Swede
had but little respect for nobility, and he i
often spoke of his ancestors, the Berger i
Jaris and Vikings, as thieves and cut- i
throats.
While he sat musing, lazily watching
the smoke curling up toward the blotch- j
cd and crumbled, almost obliterated j
frescoes of the vaulted ceiling above, a :
servant brought in a note to "111 Maestro 1
Berger." The City of Milan informed
his excellency, the Maestro, that the last
y of the three pupils had been chosen, and
the pupil, the Contessa Lucia Yinella,
would attend him whenever the Maestro
would be pleased to receive her. Signor
Berger scowled and shrugged his
shoulders. He had already, in the short
time he had been in Milan, heard several
contessas" play, and he had not been
favorably impressed by theirgenius, and,
indeed, it must be admitted that the
??-- la dies in question had a greater desire to
see the handsome foreigner than to make
any progress in music, lie had forgot- j
ten that the three pupils were too poor
to uay for their tuition and were therefore
given their musical cducatiou by
the charity of the city. However, he
sent back an answer that he would give
the contessa her first lesson at 3 o'clock
the next afternoon, and then he took up
his violin, and the contessa and Milan
and success and the Kapellmeister
passed from his mind, while the music j
soared in tremulous vibrations through j
'?' - the room.
The next day everything went wrong. I
-A He h fid v?t to lenrn tho 11:1 n1
sary for a teacher, :md the countless mistakes
of his pupils, the jarring discords
and the seeming stupidity rendered hitn
nearly furious. At 6 o'clock the charity
pupil, Contessa Lucia, was ushered into 1
his presence, followed by an old woman, '
her escort. The contcssa did not look '
very aristocratic in her dress. Every- !
thing she haci on was cheap. In fact, i
except that her dress was neater and
more tastefully arranged, it was abojt
the same as the servants. The maestro |
was walking up and down the room with '
an ominous frown on his face, ile >
wheeled around and looked at her.
"Well, Siguora, what do you wish?" j
he said, crossly.
v A "I have come for my lesson, Signor,"
she replied, timidly. %
He looked at his tablets.
"You are either too early or too !
late. There is a C'ontcs-sa Vinella who i
comes now. But if she does not come?" j
r&. , "I am the contessa. signor," and j
she proceeded to unwrap |
her violin from its green !
covering, while the servant hobbled to 1
the nearest chair.
"You came to amuse yourself in a :
? . dilettante way on the violin."
"I camc to learn to play, Maestro; to j
be able to teach music some day. Who ]
knows?" and she laughed a litt'e nerv- j
ouslv.
"Contcssas don't teach music," he I
said, scornfully. "It is only poor plebei- '
ans who do that. Let m:* hear you play." '
She nestled the violin on her shoulder '
caressinirlv. ant obedientlv commenced. I
The air was simple, a pleasant lullaby, in !
n minor key, soft and sad, which had !
been sung by many Kctnan mothers to :
their children. One of those airs,which, |
like the German Lieder, one lmds anions |
the people, its author and origin lost in
5 antiquity, yet everlasting from its pathos i
and tenderness. The violin was lit to !
be its interpreter, an old Cremona almost j
black with age. The music floated out
from the live quivering strings. The girl,
her eyes almost closed and her head bent !
forward, stood erect, playing. The old J
servant sat listlessly, caught by the music |
EK'C . swaying to and fro, as if rocking some !
Bjgfcr. child, dead fifty years ago. Karl Merger
' stood frowning lu the shadow of a curV
tain. What right had a contessa, a
young girl, to play like that? What right
? had she to a violin which was so much
better thin his? The soft repeated J
l!?)i . strains came to an end, and the girl j
^ turned proudly toward him.
"It is a wretched picce, wretchedly
played," he said, crossly. "You will ;
never make an artiste of yourself. It
lacks soid, it lacks rhythm, it lacks
pC everything."
These petulant words?words which
"the honest Karl tterger was ashamed of j
even while he uttered them?struck the \
young g:rl like a blow. Her face,
proud and happy at her successful rendering
of the simple peasant air, fell
suddenly at this harsh verdict, and. girl
like, she burst in o sobs and left the
room, while the servant stared stolidly
at the fierce foreigner, and then rose and
hobbled after the girl.
Karl Berger felt ashamed of himself
and his sudden lit of anger. lie took
up his own violin, but it sounded harsh.
He was cold and courteous to the pupils
who came that afternoon, but he was
glad when the day was over. They were
lighting the lamp3in the courtynrd below
when he looked out. lie watched the
servants as they nut the lamps in their
places, and after they had left he stood
at the window looking absently down on I
the empty courtyard beneath, -when he I
bsw a figure coming slowly across the
yard, lie stepped out on the balcony
and called to her, for he recognized the
escort of the Contessa Lucia. When the
woman had come up he asked her:
* "Where docs the Contessa Vinc'.la
live V
"In this house, siynor, with a relative.
The contessa has no other friends and
she lives here, bat not in idleness, signor!
She is too proud for that! She
takes care of the house, and works like
a servant. She has no friends but me; ,
I was her nurse. She is too proud to go
with others in the house. Even her rela- ,
tives do not patronize her, and the ser- ]
vants are always very polite to her, and
always obey her, but behind her back
they laugh at her here, and call her the
contessa-of nil-work,'and the 'contessa
cook.' Her grandfather, the Count 1
Vinella, had taught her music, and she 1
worked so hard at it that she might earn '
her own living that way. Last week she
wpd the prize at the conservatoire, and
the city was to pay her tuition T^ith you.
You should not have spoken so harshly
to her, signor? I found her in her little
room cryingasif her heart would break." 1
*
- f
Karl Bergcr rau his Hands through his
hair.
"I was wronar?very wrong. "Will
you tell her I said so? Ask her to come
again, and I will promise to be fairer."
The next afternoon riie jrirl came in.
"It was very silly of me, Maestro, to
run away like that," she said; "but I
want so much to be a good artiste, and I
when you told tnc I could not?"
"Dun't talk about it, ]>lea3C," interrupted
Karl; "I was cross and tii cd, and, i
if you must know it, jealous," and he j
smiled grimly. "Yes, jealous, that you
Cuuid play better than I."
j Lucia flushed with delight.
"it you mean mat?out no: 1011 are
laughing at nle!,'
mean what I said,"' replied Karl,
determinedly. "I can teach you technique,
perhaps; after that you have nothing
to learn."
So it was settled.
One day, during the lesson, Karl said j
abruptly:
'"Would you like also to study at
night? My evenings arc all my own."
The girl laughed with pleasure and !
cried: "Oh, Mastcro, you arc so kind." I
So, after the work was done, Lucia
would come in with Marcia, her old !
nurse, and after the lesson Karl would j
pick up his own violin and play. One
night he stopped suddenly and said to
her:
"I wish you would not call mc Maestro.
I am not a master in music. I am j
j only a sham, and some day they will '
j find it out. I am not much older than I
you and don't play any better. 1 want |
! you to think of me as a fellow student,
not as a teacher."
"What shall I call you, then?" Lucia '
I asked shvlv.
" Ivai L"
" That is a pretty name," said Lucia.
"It was my lather's," and he went on
to speak of his Northern home, of the
snow-storm when all the family died but
j himself, and how he was found famished
and senseless, with his violin hugged to
his breast. And Lncia sat still and
drank in every word. Then she told him '
: of her own home and her past history, j
j Each night after they laid their music
' aside they would sit and talk, and Mar- ;
cia would sit and slumber quietly in her |
I chair.
Soon the opera season commenced, and
i often the three would sit back in some
j little box which had been placed at
I Karl's disposal, and listen to the grand
| creations of the masters. A happy time
for both. Karl was all gentleness to the
i little contcssa, and the grim young
! Norseman commenced to find himself
! making jokes to amuse her. He lo make
1 jokes?who had hitherto gone through
I life in his sober, solemn way?to make j
! jokes! It was surprising indeed. They
called each other Karl and Lucia, and |
sometimes brother and sister. So things
went on, till suddenly Marcia fell sick.
Lucia stayed by her bedside ?e
much as her work would allow. Tha
lessons must cease till Marcia grew better.
for she had no other chaperone, and
of course it was impossible for her to go
without one. The days seemed to drag
slowly aleng, and the night-watching
Lciran to tell on her. She grew paler
and went about sad and musing.
As for Karl, the first time that Lucia
missed her lesson he became rather angry.
"She thinks she has learned everything,
perhaps, and is through with me,"
lie muttered.
He tried to feel injured and banish her
from his mind, and for awhile he thought
he had succeeded. "When the long evening
came and he found himself alone, he
became restless and uneasy, and imagined
himself only anxious that nothing might
have happened to Lucia. He took up
his violin, but soon put it aside, and
then he went out to the opera-house.
The prima donna was out of voice and
the orchestra vile. Coming home he
met one of the servants.
' Where is Marcia ?" lie asked.
" > CI'J Sll'IV,
So that was it. He went gloomily up
stairs and went straight to the mirror
and began to apostrophize his image.
"Maestro Berger, you are an ass," he
said quietly. "However poor she may
be, she is still contessa and you are only
?Karl Berger," and he took up his
violin and commeuced to play. But
with all his self-restraint he found the
days nery long and tiresome.
One night Lucia sat alone in the'room
when she heard Karl's violin. He was |
telling his story of love, unconsciously,
to the one from whom he intended to
hide it. As the girl sat there in the
darkness, holding Marcia's hand, she felt
strangely happy and quiet. Suddenly
Marcia opened her eyes.
"Lucia," she said, "I am ever so much
better."
The proud contessa bent over and 1
kissed the wrinkled face of the servant |
and said, gravely:
"That is well; but you must sleep,
Murcia, and not talk."
"Play for me, Cara," said the old woman,
drowsily.
And Karl Berger heard suddenly from I
Marcia's room the answer to his violin's j
confession. Sweetly and softly it came
to him at first, but soon it swelled out
into full volume. It told all to him that
was necessary. And when the girl ceased

blushing rosily red, there weie two peo- |

When Lucia awoke the next morning 1
and found Marcia better and the heavens
and the birds in harmony with her happy.
mood, the lirst thing she did was to kiss
her violin, and when she had dressed and
was coming down the stairs, sinking like
a lark, she saw at the foot Karl Bcrger,
his face flushed and looking very happy,
indeed.
"Tell me, little Lucia," lie said, eagerly,
"didn't the violin speak truly?"
I don't know what she said, for 1
didn't hear it: but I do know that Milan j
was surprised to hear that very winter j
that one of its contessas had married a i
music teacher.? Washington JLitclut.
The Direction ot the Wind.
That the changing of the direction of |
tln^wind is due to the shifting of the
situations of greatest heat upon the earth
is substantially proved by the fact that
in certain regions of the terrestrial surface,
where the situations of the greatest
heat and cold do not aiter the direction
in which they lie to each other, the wind
does not change, but always blows in I
the same direction from one day to
another, and ail the year round. This
occurs in the great open spaces of the
tlw. w lnn.l ,r/.f
heated up l>v (he sunshine of the day,
and to get cool by the scattering of the
heat at night. In those spaces, for a
vast breadtli of many hundreds of miles,
the sun shines down day after day upon
the surfacaof the sea, heating the water
most along the mid ocean track which lies
most immediately beneath its burning
rays as it passes across from east to we-t.
This midway track of the strongest sunshine
crosses the wide ocean as a belt or
zone that spreads some way to either side
of the equator. Throughout this midway
track the cooler and heavier air on
either hand drifts in from the north and
from the south, and then rises up, as it
becomes heated by the sun, where the
two currents meet.
In both instances, however, in eon.se- <
(juence of the spinning round of tlie j
earth, the advancing wind acquires a i
westward as well as an equatorial drift, j
The air current as it approached the
midway equatorial zone, where the onward
movement of the sea covered surface
of the earth is performed with the
vast velocity of 1.000 miles an hour,
does not immediately acquire this full ; :
rate of sliced, and lags back upon the ; (
ocean, so that it appears as a drift to- I ,
ward the west as well as toward the
equator. On the north side of the equa- j ,
tor the wind blows all the year round I '
from the northeast, and from the south J
side from the southeast, both in the At- .
lantic and Pacific oceans. The e steady J .
and unchanging ocean winds arc called } ,
the trade winds, on account of the great \ J
service they render to ships carrying j j
merchandise across these portions of the i j
sea. lr. sailinir from England to the \
Cape of (jood Hope, through the entire j
length of the Atlantic ocean, ships, be- ,
fore they reach the equator, have to pa?s ,
over a broad space where strong winds ,
ure always blowing steadily from the j ]
northeast. That is the region of the .
northeast trades. They then traverse a J
space near to the equator itself, where j
tiie northeast winds cease to blow, and j
where the air is very still and calm, and ! }
they afterward corne to a region to the j (
south of the equator, where strong | ;
winds are continually blowing from | j
southeast. That is the region of the ]
south trade*.?Science fur AV. ,

PLANTING AND HABVESTINO EASTBBW
OYSTER BEOS.
How the OjnIct In Cultivated? Enemies
of the Illvalvc?Krinffln?
OyNlerw to the New Vork Market.
Oysters are raised by cultivation, just
as fruits and vegetables are. They arc
found in all seas in from four to six fathonu
nt wntr?r nntl nnvnr :it a <?reat dis
tance from tlic shore. They are most
abundant in the quiet waters of gulfs
and bays formed at the mouths of lar^e
rivers. The principal sources of supply
for the United States are the Chesapeake
bay. New Jersey coast, and Long Island
sound. Formerly the uorthern beds were
almost wholly kept up by restocking
with seed oysters from Chesapeake bay
and the Hudson river, but of late the
oyster reapers have secured the seed, or
spat, as the fishermen call it, during the
spawning season, and new grounds have
been utilized until the area of the oyster
beds can be measured by townships, and
is constantly extending.
Although there is no such thing as
buying the beds of any of the public
waters, yet oyster grounds arc, in a manner,
bought and sold in this way: A man
or a company will clear up a new placc
and begin raising oysters. If these men
wish to go out of the business they
sell their squatter's right to their bed.
The right is recognized in the
business, and such a sale holds good
by common consent. The spat gathered
in the spawning season is scattered over
the beds from which o\ sters have been
gathered, or on newly-prepared ground,
as the case may be. Here it lies from
one year to live or six years. llockaways
lie about one year and sounds from three
years to five years. The increase is from
three to six baskets for everyone of spat.
The chances, as a rule, are in favor of a
good crop, but the oystermen have many
things to contend with, so that it sometimes
happens that when they go to
gather the oysters they lind cither dead
ones or none at all. The oyster has its
natural enemies, such as the drumfish
and starfish, which destroy a great many,
and in the second place the ground sometimes
proves unsatisfactory. Sometimes
a heavy weight of grass grows fast to
them, and, pressing them down into the
mud, smothers them, or, when they arc
on saudy soil, a storm will occasionally
covcr them entirely with sand. However,
with the constantly improved
methods of cultivation, means are being
continually devised for the better protection
of the oyster.
Two-thirds of tne oysters now brought
into the New York market during the
summer and autumn come from the lower
bay, and are called sounds. The remainder
may be said to come from Kockaway,
Blue Point, and the East river. The
winter trade depends more or less on the
supply from Chesapeake bay, although
large quantities taken in the New York
waters arc stored for winter use.
Down on West street, a few biocks
north of Canal street, a little fleet of
oyster bosts, packed together like sardines
in a box, may be seen any day
delivering their cargoes. How one ever
gets out is a profound mystery. The
boatmen themselves say it often takes
half & day to get one clear of the rest.
They are small, single masted, and each
carries a jib. They vary in length
from thirty feet to forty feet. They
cost between $500 and $2,000 apiece,
according to their size and the manner
in which they are fitted up. There are
also a great many steam tugs engaged in
the business. Each boat usually carries
Jive men. The wholesale dealer, who
have their houses upon rafts along the
dock, own or have an inteiest in most
of these boats. One dealer will often
own a number of sail boats, or an interest
ir. several, and perhaps a number of
tugs as well. There are, however,
many boats that are owned by the men
who sail them. The boats usually stay
out a week or six days. Each is provided
with an oyster tongs and dredge.
At lirst, while the oysters are thick, the
men use the tongs. Afterward
they finish up by raking over the
ground with the dredge. The dredge is
an iron rake in two sections. It has a
bag hanging from the back of it. made
of iron links. This is always held open
by an iron frame. The oysters, as tlicy
are raked up by the teeth of the dredge,
are shoved back into the bag until it is
filled, and then it is raised and its contents
are emptied on board. It is
either dragged by the sailboat with
spread canvas or worked by steam.
When a boat has a load of oysters,
which is from one thousand to six thousand,
according to the size of the craft,
it carries the oysters to a water-logged j
crib. This is done in order that the !
oysters may drink, and thus gain a fine,

supply themselves with a circulating
fluid to stand lopg transportation. They
are usually put in the crib at ebb tide,
as it is only then that oysters open.
After this other boats deliver them to
the wholesale dealers. Oysters are classified
according to their size, as extras,
box, culling and cullentines. Some of
the dealers open the oysters they handie,
while others simply deal in them in the
shell. The openers get At a thousand
for opening the oysters, and one man
can open from three thousand to six

Romance of a Senator's Sob.
"I was surprised to read in the iW a
few days ago that Charles S. Yoorhces,
the son of the Indiana Senator, is the
Congressman-elect from Washington
Territory,"said a well known young Detroit
lawyer at the Michigan exctiange
last evening. "The surprise is due to
the difference between his present position
and his situation when he was a
resident of Detroit."
' When did lie leave here?" asked a j
Post reporter.
"In the spring of 1881. He was here
several weeks, and I'll wager he will
never foriret his Detroit experience, cs
pecially as it included his marriage to a I
Detroit girl."
4'Tell us the story."
"The paragraph ill the Post stated that
young Voorhees played Hamlet once,
and once only, some years ago, at an
Indianapolis theatre. Hut lhut '.vas
not the only time he appeared on the
stage. He was thoroughly stage-struck
and joined John McCuliough's company,
coming here with that organization.
He played minor parts and overacted
them to an extent that caused him to be
guyed by the audiences. Voorhees asked
McCullough if the latter thought lie
would ever become an actor, and McCullough
told him he would never become a
great one. He was a proud fellow, and
immediately left the company. He had
no money, and to obtain means exchanged
his clothes for a shabby-genteel
suit and some money at Van llaalen's
pawn shop, and engaged board at Mrs.
Clark's, whose house ii above Grand
River avenue, An acquaintance brought
Voorhees to mc, thinking I could aid
hiin in obtaining employment on one of
the Detroit newspapers. I took him to
Mr. Quimby, of the Free I'mf, who
thought Voorhees was an impostor and
would have nothing to do with him.
Then I took him to an afternoon paper
miblisher. who tokl tlie Senator's son to
write a sample article and submit it. Instead
of writing on a local subject, Voorhues
constructed a gushing iove-story,
and was told that that style of literature
was not what was wanted on the paper.
That ended the attempt to make a news
paper man of him. After this failure I
saw nothing of Yoorliecs for several days.
One evening the door-bell at our house
rang, and when it was answered
Mr. Yoorliecs and a lady were
admitted. lie astonished me by presenting
the lady as his wife.having just been
married by Father Van Dyke. The lady
was a Miss Biubie, a pretty French girl,
who was boarding at the same house,
and with whom Voorhees had become
smitten. A brief courtship resulted in
the marriage, Miss I3aubie havinir sufficient

colors at a French wedding, unless one
is a kinswoman of the bride. A rich
visiting dress, with a very costly little
mantle, is what the most elegant women
wear.
Chenille, dotted and embroidered tulle
and tulle with designs in tinsel and floss,
are much used with evening dresses of
the delicate pongee and India silks and
for the draperies of satins and gros grain
silks.
The full, pulled sleeve, not nearly so
pretty in itself as the French coat sleeve,
looks beautiful by comparison with the
jersey, with which it is most often thrown
into contrast, and it conceals the arms to
perfection.
It is prophesied that mignonette green
will be the color most in favor for light
gowns next summer. It is so exquisitely
delicate in appearance that it always
seems especially appropriate for the
warm season, and if properly blended
with scarlet even brunettes can wear it.
As for blondes, there is nothing more becoming
to the soft pinkness of their
cheeks and to the gold of their hair.
In Northern Siberia when a young
man thinks he wants to marry a young
woman he arranges to pay a certain sum
to her father. Half of this sum he pays
down and lives with the family of his
lady love for a year. If, at the end of
that time, he still wants her. he pays the
other half of the sum agreed upon and
gets her. If lie doesn't want her he says
so and loses the installment which lie
first paid.
At a golden wedding in New York the
llorist who decoratcd the rooms chose to
use yellow blossoms, and produced a
brilliant elTect. The bay window was
tilled with ferns, butter-cup carnations
and sunset roses, and yellow chrysantheniuns
and golden ferns were banked
everywhere. Two hearts in pearl roses
were hung over one of the arciied doors,
ai'.d the newel post was twined with yellow
flowers.
The long, thick crepe veil is very injurious
to the complexion. The rough
crepe rubs the skin oil and the poisonous
matter is taken into the circulation in
that way, as well as carried into the
lungs in breathing. Such a veil worn for
two consecutive years seldom fails to
producc bad results. Similar goods about j
the nock, and black silk and black cot- I
ton goods also produce bad effects. Paris

Healthy Sleep.
I think we may safely say that every
one icipiires six hours' sleep in the twenty-four,
and very many men and women,
not to mention fools, require even more.
Certainly, too much sleep is harmful;
but too little is vastly more so. I would
let each man regulate his hours of sleep
by what he feels are his real requirements;
always urging him to avoid the
suspicion of laziness, to take into consideration
the bed lie lies upon, and to
watch the effect on his health of any system
of sleep lie adopts. If you get up
when you first wake, providing you have
had six hours of sound, refreshing sleep,
you can scarcely get wrong. But make
sure of your six hours' minimum, and be
wonderfully suspicious of the necessity
for further sleep, as it is apt to become,
not necessity, but indulgence. "Wellington
could sleep at any moment; Baron
Bunson could sleep for half an hour at
any time in the midst of his studies,
awaking refreshed, and resuming his
work with increased vigor. A blessed
gift this; such a faculty, combined with
that of early.rising, is as good as a fortune
to a capable man, or, indeed, to almost
any man. Sleep is heaviest in the lirst
few hours, gradually becoming lighter,
and probably disturbed by dreams, as
time wears on, until a slight noise disturbs
us, or our rested system resumes
full work of its own accord. Everybody
knows that in dreaming part of the brain
is awake and at work, wmle the other
partis asleep?as much as the brain can i
sleep; at all events, exercising lessened
function. It is therefore obvious that
dreamless sleep is most useful, as dreams
are evidence of work by some part of the
brain, detracting from perfect rest.
A very important factor in securing
healthy sleep is the kind of bed we lie !
upon. Feather beds I cannot commend;
indeed, luxuries?and this is an undoubted
one?are not to be sought by
him whose aim is perfect health and
strength. A spring mattress is very excellent,
and the harder your couch, to j
be comfortable, the more likely arc you >
to secure healthy, refieshing sleep, not |
unduly prolonged. It is a difficult mat- j
ter to rise early from a feather bed, dilli- j
cult to awake in a reasonable time, and j
more so to leave its waiinth and cosiness [
in winter But the luxury must be sac j
riliced to the more healthful influence of
the mattress. The clothing should be '
light and warm; and I cannot but recom- I

two blankets as being very warm, for j
paper is a ]>oor conductor of heat. You
get warmth by tliis means without undue j
weight of clothing. Then your bedroom
must be well ventilated, for you require j
to take in an extra stock of oxygen dur- I
ingthe night to help out the supply for i
the day. You will sleep too much if the I
air is impure. ? Leeds Mercury.

Mr. Webster was favorably impressed
with turnip culture, and believed that it
might be profitably introduced into Massachusetts,
notwithstanding the high
price of labor, lie endeavored to introtroduce
English and Scotch husbandry
to some extent on his farm at Marshlield,
beginning by keeping large numbers of
cattle and sheep. His farm at Franklin
was cultivated in the old New Hampshire
style, and he was very fond of
making comparisons between the two.
He had some of the products of his farm
sent to Washington, and his blazing

The Bropklyn navy yard, like most
military and naval posts and reservations,
is a little world of itself. When
one passes through the squalid part of
the city that lies about its walls and enrrrtfno

marines with gleaming bayonets keep
guard night and day, he is in another atmosphere.
The hum of traffic from the
twin cities sounds far away. Before him
is a broad street stretching down to the
river, where men-of-war arc lying.
There arc trees and green grass, ships
being repaired and ships being demolished.
marines walking* post and sailors
moving about with the peculiar rolling
gait which distinguishes the seafaring
man. A driveway leads up a little hill
to the left, to the commandant's house.
Before the house stands an orderly in
white gloves, and above his head a flag
floats from the top of a lofty pole. About
half way down the main street,in a building
of yellow brick, is the offices of
the commandant, where all the headquarters
business of the " Naval
Station of New York" is transacted.
Here also is the office of tho captain of
the yard and one or two other functionaries.
Other buildings, mostly of yellow
brick, scattered about the yard are
machine shops, sail-lofts, store Houses,
etc. There arc two immense -wooden
structures, under one of which is the
unfinished frigate New York, and under
the other the old Colossus, now being
demolished.
In this, the chief naval station of the
United States, there is always plenty of
work to be donc^ for ships of war are
always being fitted out for sea, or come
in to go out of commission or to be repaired.
For each particular work there
is a department. There are the departments
of steam engineering, provisions
and clothing, navigation, ordnance, etc.
At an early hour in the morning the
sound of the hammer and saw begins to
be heard, the machineiy starts up, the
workmen and clerks arrive, the officers
in charge of the different departments
enter their offices, and until four o'clock
in the afternoon the business of the yard
is in full blast. Imagine tho business
of a great ship yard combined with the
supply of provisions, and manufacturing
and supply of clothing for several
thousand men and officers, the making
of sails, ropes, spars, engines, flags and
signals, the supplying ordnance and
the thousand and one things that
arc used aboard a man-of-war from a
pillow case to a carpet or knife and fork.
Add to this the work of the paymaster's
department, where the accounts of all
the receipts and disbursements consequent
on such a varied business and the
separate accounts of officers and men and
civil employes are kept, and we will get
some idea of the work at the navy yard.
Then there is the care of millions of
dollars' worth of government property
and the sale of condemned property to
be taken into consideration. Over at
the Cobb dock the old line-of-battle ship
Vermont is moored. She is the receiving
ship, where men are enlisted and
kept until they are transferred to some
sea going ship. The officers stationed on
the Vermont are generally those who
have just come back from soir.e long
cruise, and are sent here to get a little
rest and recuperate. From early in the
morning until noon the officers are.kept
busy with the routine work of the ship,
with drilling the men, shipping recruits,
etc. From 1 o'clock until the dinner
hour, at 5 .-:j0 o'clock, the ward room door
io rlnenrtwl nnd thfi fMirtftins are drawn
before the doors of the officers' state
rooms. Some studying for examination
for promotion; the sound of a guitar
proclaims that one is cultivating his musical
abilities; another may be attending
to his correspondence or indulging in
general literature. A portion of this
time, too, is consumed by the officers
in reading up on matters
pertaining to their
profession, for American naval officers
are justly proud of their reputation as
the best-informed set of naval officers in
| the world in matters pertaining to their
profession and strive honestly to deserve
it. Is is possible that some of the officers
may have their afternoon broken in upon
by an order to take a draft pf men to
Norfolk, Newport or Boston, or by an
order to attend a general court-martial.
At 5:30 the officers all meet at the dinuer
table in the ward-room. Other officers
from some *liip lying at the yard or
a civilian friend or two may be present
at this time, and when the smoke of post,
prandial cigarettes mingles with the
aroma of black coffee what stories arc
told of "strange adventures happed
by land and sea!" Then the thunders of
Mobile bay awake anew, the Corean
tiger-flag goes down in defeat once more,
and all the storms that blow oil Ilatteras
and the Horn are loosened again. There
arc stories of Arctic exploration, too, and
the rehearsing of many an old legend
handed down from the time of llull,
Paul Jones or Decatur, and heard nowhere
except on a man-of-war. The
stmnn-cr nt that board, seeing the spirit
which animates his hopes, will go away
satisfied that America may safely commit
her pride of the past and hopes of
the future to the officers of whom these
are examples.
The evenings the officers have to
themselves until 10 o'clock, when the
lights arc put out and sleep and silence
reign over the great ship.?Xew York

A Railroad Magnate.
In a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Mr. George Alfred Townsend reports as
follows a conversation which lie had
with one of the best informed railroad
men in New York, whom he does not
name.
' Whom do you consider the first
railroad man in the Lnited States?"
" We rather look at V. P. Huntington
as at the head of the American railroad
system. lie entered the field late, escaped
the general misfortunes of the Union
Pacific railroad, to which his company
was the complement, an I with its earnings
he has built a complete railroad system
from San Francisco nearly to
Mexico, and thence across the desert and
Texas to New Orleans, and he has finished
his railroad from Hamilton Roads to
Memphis, and is thought to be the controlling
spirit in the new railroad from
Memphis to New Orleans. Therefore,
he is the only American who controls a
line from ocean to ocean."
" Where is Iluutington's home now?"
"In the city of New York. You see,
he owns the American line of steamers
from New Orleans. In this line there arc
probably as many as thirty steamers.
They are all American vessels, built at
Wilmington, Del., and well adapted for
their purpose. A branch of this steamship
line runs to Vera Cruz. Huntington
also has steamship facilities from
New York to his initial railroad point at
Newport News. I would not be at all
surprised," said my friend, "to see
Huntington one of these days complete
his railroad system to New York city,
lie has married the widow of one of his
railroad officers, and has just bought her
a very expensivo piece of ground on i
Fifth avenue, New York. lie delights
in paintings, and is a pretty good judge
of them, while a modest man in his
claims to artistic knowledge."
" How much is in Huntington's rail- (
road system altogether?"
" Nearly .1,000 miles. Some oOO miles
of this is in river steamboats on the Col- j
orado and Sacramento rivers. lie has j
about 1.200 miles in his Central Pacific I
road,about 1,300 in the Southern Pacific, ]
some 1,200 miles in his Texas system; ]
and he is also building into northern
California. i
Hanging Makes the Muscles ltigid. j
It is strange how a little steady pros 1
sure on the windpipe alTects people. Of ]
course it chokes them, but that is no
reason why they shouldn't be able to
move their limbs. They seem to loose
all control over their muscles and give
right in. I remember a case that occurred j
in Brookville, Me., when I was a young j
man. A woman, the wife of a wealthy t
sea captain, threw a skein of yarn over f
the top of an open door one day. and
sticking her head through the bight that J
hung down doubled up her knees so her
feet could not touch and remained in that t
position until she choked to death. One y
would naturally think that when she be- j
came unconscious her muscles would re- r
lax and allow her feet to drop to the floor, i
hut such was not the case. Hanging or I 'r
choking seems to make every muscle as I
rigid as iron.?Boston Globe.

A party of gentlemen in an Erie train,
New Yorkward bound, were talking
about men's hobbies, when one of them
made the remark that a Bergen county
man had spent $100,000 on a hobby.
"What was it?" asked the writer, who
was one of the party.
"Dogs."
"And who is the man?"
''Mr. E. 1?. Hearn, who lives just
across the bridge from Passaic. lie is

him!" |
With Mr. Clarence H. Van Deusen, of ]
Passaic, who is a connoisseur in all that
pertains to canines, and who had courteously
volunteered to conduct the introductory
preliminaries of the visit, a trip
was made to Mr. Ilearn's kennels one day
during the week. The Hearn mansion is
situated on the left bauk of the Passaic
river, and is surrounded by elecrantlycared-for
grounds. To the rear of the
ri-sidencc are the famous dog kennels
wherein are kept the dogs which have
taken prizes at all the prominent bench
shows of this country and Europe for
many years past. The buildings cover
the better part of an acre of ground, and
are fitted up in a manner which would
be the envy of many a mechanic of the
metropolis.
Mr. E. L. "Williams, Mr. E. I*. Hearn's
manager, greeted the writer and his companion
at the main entrance, and courteously
signified his willingness to give
any information within his power. He
led the way through the canine boudoirs.
Each kennel, of which there are
a score or more, has a stone flooring, and
a shifting glass roof which can be moved
at will to let in the light or keep out the
cold. Running water is located in a
corner of each compartment, and each^
lighted at night by gas, and is heated by
hot wator conducted through the series
of buildings by means of pipes supplied
from an immense boiler. Uoucnes,
which would make the average tramp's
mouth water, arc filled with clean straw
every day and at night are fastened
to the side walls by
means of catches. A monster bath-tub
provides .1 lavatory for the hightoued
canines, and in one corner of the main
building is ihc culinary department,
where the food is cooked for the petted
descendants of canioe blue blood. At the
rear of the buildings, in the orchard, is
the "run," where the animals take their
walks abroad. Each kennel is ten feet
square and is surrounded by ash sides,
surrounded by a wicker-work barrier.
Mr. Ileum has about twenty dogs at
present, the "boss" dog being the Duke
of Leeds. Money could not buy the inimal,
Duke has taken several "Hundred
Guinea" prizes in Europe, and has long
been a favorito at all the kennel shows
in this country. lie stands above three
feet in height, and when in good condition
weighs somewhere near 150 pounds.

was present at the private exhibition.
He carried away the honors of the recent
Philadelphia show and also at that held

Leila, another famous St. Bernard, has
also made a small fortune for her owner.
Leila is nearly as high as Duke, and is
about the height of the average diningroom
table. She was also a prize runner
at the fairs mentioned, and also at the
recent non-sporting show held at Madison
Square Garden. Leila's pup, Valentine,
is a monster brute, and his frisky
play with his mother resembled the playful
antics of a baby elephant.
Bonivard, which among the others,
claims relationship with British ancestors,
is also a monster dog. He is one
of the five that carried oil the honors at
Philadelphia, where Mr. "Williams had
all the dogs on exhibition. Bony is another
animal of the many that money
could not buy. Most of these animals
arc direct descendants of Sidney W.
Smith's famous English St. Bernards.

When the night shadows, with the ample

Will there he one, even at that that dread

When no star twinkles with its eye of glory
On that low mound,
And wintry storms havo with their ruins

Will thero be then one versed in misery's

It may be so?but this selfish sorrow
To ask such meed?

From hearts that bleed
The wailings of to-day, for what to-morrow
Shall never need.
Lay me then gently in my narrow dwelling,
Thou gentle heart!
And, though my bosom should with grief be
swelling,
Let no tear start;
It were in vain?for time hath long been

A Great Singer's Precautions.
On a damp, chilly afternoon this week,
says a recent New York letter to the Boston
Herald, I was in a Central Park restaurant.
Simultaneously, two other
riders sought tho same surcease from the
wet diversion. They were Nicolini and
his famous Patti; and you are wondering
what the great singer could bavc to present
her in a new phasc^ considering
how many columns have been filled with
descriptions of her personally. The
fresh point which this view enables me
to make concerning the only woman in
the world whose wages arc thousands of
dollars per day was the care which she
took to keep herself from damage.
Without her voice, Patti would be
a handsome little matron of forty,
but of no public value. Therefore,
her very consequential throat was
wrapped round and round with a
silk scarf, which she removed on
getting into the house. On the way
from the carriage she had held a
handkerchief to her mouth on saying
something, so that no raw air should
reach her vocal organ. Her feet in Arctic
overshoes, her ankles in baby-like
leggins. and her mantel enveloped her
figure from neck to hem. But the oddest
protection against catching cold was
a wad of cotton in each ear.
" She must have had earache," I said
to a physician who makes a specialty of
throat diseases, who has some of the
grand opera singers for patients, and of
whom 1 subsequently inquired on the
subject.
" Not at all," he replied; "she seldom
rrnM out of doors in winter without
plugging her cars. If is a strange fact
that the vocal cords arc susceptible to
the slightest chill entering through aural
passages. There isn't any alTcctation in
Patti's extraordinary precautions. You
wouldn't marvel at tiie fiddler who
owned an old treasure of a violin, and
carried it in cotton for fear of breakage.
Isn't it sensible, then, for a prima donna j
to guard jealously the only voice she's
got?"
I judge, however, that Patti's stomach
is composed of sterner and not less able
stulT, for the beefsteak and onions that
she washed down through her rarely
sensitive throat with a bottle of ale were
astonishing in quantity.
How Condensed Milk is Made.
"When the nulk is brought to the fac
tory it is carefully strained, placed in
cans or pails, which are put into a tank
of water kept hot by steam coils. When
hot, it is transferred to larger, steamheated,open
vessels,and quickly brought
to a boil. This preliminary heating and
boiling lias for its objects the expulsion
of the gasses of milk, which would j
cause it to foam in the vacuum pan, and |
also to add to the keeping quality of the
milk by destroying the mold germs.
A second straining follows, after which
the milk is transferred to a vacuum pan,
where, at a temperature below liJO decrees
Fahrenheit, it boils and is rapidly
concentrated to any degree desired.
The vacuum pan employed is a close
vessel of copper, egy shaped, about six
feet in diameter, it is heated by steam
coils within and by a steam jacket without,
closing the lower portion. In one
side of the dome is a small window
through which the gas illumines the interior,
while 011 the opposite side is an
eye-glass, through which the condition
of the contents is observed. The pan
is also provided with a vacuum guage
and test sticks.
Much of the milk used in the cities is I
simply concentrated, without any addition
of sugar. The proccss of concentration
is continued in the vacuum pan j
until one gallon of milk has beeu re- !
duced to less than a quart. Condensed !
milk intended to be preserved for any
length of time has an addition of pure !
cane sugar made to it during the boiling,
and is usually put up in sealed cans.
This sugared or preserved inilk, when
prepared, will keep for many years.
The Brain a Scrap-Book.
What is the brain but a scrap-book J
if, when we are asleep some one couiu
peep in there, what would lie find? Lines j
from favorite poets, stray bits of tunes j
and snatches from songs, melodies from i
operas, sentences from books, strange j
meaningless dales, recollections of child- j
hood, vague and gradually growing faint, !
moments of perfect happiness, hours of
despair and misery. The first kiss of j
childhood lovers, the first parting of
bosom friends, the word of praise or the j
word of blame of a fond mother, pictures I
of men and womeu, hopes and dreams j
that camc to nothing, unrequited kind- ;
ness, gratitude for favors, quarrels and j
reconciliations, old jokes, and through j
them all the thread of one deep and endur- I
ing passion for some one man or women
that may have been a misery or a delight.

Fate of a Chinese Parricide.
Just outside the west gate of Shanghai
city is a small hamlet where lived an old
man and his son. The latter made it a
practice of calling upon his father for
cagh whenever he was in want of it, until
the thing got rather montononous
for the father, who remonstrated with
his son, and being saucily replied to,
the father attempted to apply "paternal
correction" on his son; the son in rage
then caught hold of the door bar and
brought it down with such force upon
the father's skull that he cracked it and
killed the old man. The neighbors
hearing the row assembled at the 'door
of the house where the murder was com-,
mitted and captured the son as he was
endeavoring to escape. The members of
fafrVior'a plun \xrnrn fVipn r?fil1nr? fr?
gether, and at a solemn conclavc it was
decidcd to administer on the spot the
law set aside for parricides, instead of
appealing to the magistrate, which invariably
causes much delay, and perhaps
the murderer might effect his escape
in the meantime. So the parricide
was bound hand and foot, and just without
the*hamlet a hole was dug, and the
wretched murderer consigned to its
depths. The mud was thrown into the
hole and the members of the clan stamped
by turns on the grave until it was level
with the ground, and so without leaving
a mound or any mark to point out the
parricide's grave, the asaembled crowd
dispersed silently to their daily avocations.
The above occurred not a week
ago.?Celestial Empire.
Taken at His Word.
It was one of the genus tramp. He
knocked at the door of a house, and
when a kindly-looking woman opened it
he said:
"Madam, I am very hungry. I have
had nothing for a week back."
"Why, you poor soul," said the good
woman, "wait o. moment and I'll find
something for you."
And she gave him an old porous plaster,
and closed the door before he had
finished thanking her.?Fret Press.
I Had a Dreadful Cough,
and raised a considerable amount of blood
and matter; besides, I was very thin, and so
weak 1 could scarcely go about the house.

The Pains and Aches
Of rheumatism lime in many Instances been cared by
Hood's Sarsapar.lln. The best authorities tay tbat
rheumatism originates in a morbid condition of the
blood. Lactic arid, circulating with the blood, at.

Hood's Sarsapcrilla, by its purifying and vitalizing aotion

and thus effects the most remaikable euros.
