Squatting in the center of various piles of delicacies sits the vendor. And curi ons are these sweets. Milky cream and coarse brown sugar are their chief in gredients. No attempt is made at decor ation. In fact the native would not ap preciate anything which savored of deli eacy. His cookery is always strong. Horrid garlic, greasy ghi, or clarified butter-condiments at which the Euro pean would sicken-are the choicest of their culinary efforts. The quantity of sweets a strong man consumes borders on the marvelous. The reason is of easy account. A Hindoo, by his religion, is forbidden to eat meat, and the moft nourishing food they can obtain is sac charine matter. A sweetmeat called "jelabi" is in high esteem. This is mado in imitation of a hollow coil of rope and filled with treacle. A mouthful to a ten der stomach is provocative of cholora or biliousness for at least a month. But the English schoolboy has been known tA) compete with the Hindoo in such gas tronomic foats; for one boy has been known at a sitting to eat twelve solid pounds. The doctors prophesied of him i:nmediate death, but he smiled sickly nd thought a glass of milk would sc' him all right. In all great native feasts confectionary takes an important place. First, as the guests arrange themselves, is handed round in a silver tray the attar, a scent procured from the rose. This is rubbed into the clothes of the guests. Then follow the pan and betel. This is the nut of the areca pounded, and with lime enclosed in large, green, succulent leaves. It is an appetizer, and eaten just in the same manner as a European would drink, just before dinner, sherry and bitters. The taste is acid, but withal pleasantt, and the lime brightly reddons tho lips. This is greatly admired by the native. Then follow rice, sugar and milk, and pound upon pound of the coarsest lolly pops. Not a word is spoken during the feast. Each man is bent upon his meal, and those who wish to highly honor their guest tie around their stomach, before sitting dowvn, a tender thread. When this breaks the gentleman thinha lie has satisfied his appetite. As when in olden times ini Europe a lady thought she paid a compliment to her host when she said she had been so drunk as to for get how she reached home, so a native of a certain caste thinks lie is courteous when he says the repast lvas so good as to cause severe indigestion. It is not an uncommon thing after a grand feast for at least two or three people to (lie of over-gorging; and then another feast has to be given, at which, probably, some more (lie. Thius is death's sickle not Permitted to rust. A sweetmeat shop is a frequented place, not only by the younger members of the community, . ut by the sage and hoary. But nothi ing can be bought without wrangling. Though a man may buy a pound of the self-same article for teni years running, he would each time try to reduce the price, and the seller, knowing this pecu h arity, invariably asks double the real prnco.--The Californian. A Hot-Water Ilver. The great Sutro tunnel, cut to relieve the celebrated Jomstock mines at Vir ginia City, Nova a, of the vact quantities of hot. water which is encountered in them, affords an outlet to 12,000 tons every twenty-four hours, or about 3,000, 000 gallons. Some of the water, as it finds its way into the mines, has a temn peratuire of 195 degrees, wvhile four miles from the mouth of the tunnel the tem perature ranges from 130 to 135 degrees. To obviate the inconvenience which would arise from the vapor such a vast quantity of water would give off, the flow is conducte'd through the entire tun nel, four miles, in a tight flume made of pine. At the point of exit the water has lost but seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below the mouth of the tunnel th'e hot watecr utilized for turning machinery belonging to the company, from whenice eti arrned off by a tunnel 1,100 feet in length, which serves as a water-way. Leaving the waste-way tunnel, the water flows toteCro iea mile and a halfdisant Ths ht wteris being utilized for many purposes. The boys have arranged several pools where they indulge in hot baths. The miners and others use it for laundry purposes, and arrangements are being made whiereb~y a thouisand acres belonging to the comn pany are being irrigated. It is proposed to conduct the hot water through iron pipes, beneath the surface of the soil, near the roots of thousands of fruit trees whic'n are to be planted, anid in a similar manner give the necessary warmth to a number of hot-houses to be used for the propagation of early fruits and vegetales. ____ Ho0w to Save Lamp Chimneys. A Leipsic journal, which makes a specialty of matters relating to glass, gives a method which it asserts will pe treatent il ot only rendr lam chimneys, tumblers, and like articles more durable, but may be applied with advantage to crockery, stoneware, pore lain, etc. The chimneys, tumblers, etc. I are put into a pot filled with cold water, < to w~hich some common table salt ha ' been added. The water is well boiled I over a fire, and then allowed to c(J< slowly. When the articles are taken ot I and washed, they' will be found to i resist afterward ay sudden changes of< temature. The process is simply one e of annealing, and the slower the cooling part of it is conducted the more effective will beothe work. NATUnAz, philosophy-eating when ynt.'r hungrv. Nature's Big Gas Tanks Bradford, Pa., and neighboring places are lighted and heated by natural gas. In 1875 an oil company was sinking a well in a high hill west of Bradford. At the depth of several hundred feet they struck a vein of gas. No oil was four4d. The force of the gas was suih that when it was ignited a pillar of fire more than fifty feet high was formed. The roar of the gas could be heard for a mile and more. This burned for months. The heat was such that grass and foliage grew in the depth of winter as luxuri antly for hundreds of feet around as it did in the summer. Strawberries ripened near this well in February. The well had been burning for a long time before thA feasibility of utilizing it was thought of. A belt of dry territory, but yielding vast volumes of gas was subsequently found to exist in tLe vi cinity of the ori inal gas well. A com pany was formed to carry the gas into the city. It is now distributed all over the place by pipes. A gas-pipe, with 'ets attached, is run into the parlor and 'tchen stoves. The supply of gas is controlled by a stopcock on the pipe. When a fire is wanted a lighted match is thrown into the stove and the gas turned on. The fire is started at once. The gas possesses great heating qualities, and apartments are warmed as quickly and as well by it as by coal. Gas for illu minating purposes is conducted into the house the same as artificial gas is taken in. At first the light was not brilliant and steady,owingtoimpurities. Processes for refining it were invented, and now the natural illuminator is unsurpassed by the finest manufactured gas. It is so cheap that people seldom turn out their lights. It burns day and night in stores hotels, private houses and streets. Con sumers pay by the month instead of by the thousand. Gas-wells have come to be more valuable than oil wells, and the sudden phenomenal appearance of oil in some of the principal wells in the gas belt has created consternation among owners and consumers. For years the gas has flowed from wells in unremit ting volume. That oil was not to be found there it was thought had been con clusively settled. - Philadelphia Tele graph. Tennessee Marble. Mr. John J. Oraig, of Knoxville, Tenn., says that the United States Gov ernment is now working successfullv a quarry of white stone in the immediate vicinity of that city which is pronounced by competent judges to be superior to anything of the kind found elsewhere in the United States for building and all out-door purposes. It is a highly crys tallized limestone marble--and asit comes from the hammer or chisel is almost per fectly white; when- polished it shows a faint pinkish blush, most delicate and beautiful; long exposure to the atmos phere seems to whiten and harden it, a sort of glass-like enamel forming over its surface and rendering it almost im pevosto dampness and stains of any kn.A column of this marble, which has been standing in Knoxville more than thirty years, and which has never been touched with brush or soap, is as white and clean to-daylas it was the day it was first exposed to the storms and sunshine of our fickle climate. The text uire and working quality of the ma'rble is unsurpassed. It is neither too 'sard nor too soft, but exactly soft enoug .a to allow the sculptor to work it without force and trace on it the finest lines of finished form, and yet hard enough to retain these lines in all their original delicacy, unimpaired by wind or rain, for generations to come. The quantity of the marble is unlimited. Knoxville is surrounded by whole mountains of it. Facilities for transportation are now good and daily gowing better. Car loads are being ad'y shipped to all sec tions of the country, and~ the absence of capital alon prevents the quarrying of it from soon developing into one cf the most important industries in that singu larly favored but as yet almost unknown section.-Sientifio Amen'can. Used to Suck 'Em. .A young college student was visiting his grandmother, and at the breakfast table lie took an egg, and, holding it lip, aked her if she knew the scientific way of obtaining the contents without breaking the shell? She replied that she did not. ." Well," said he, " you take the spher oidal body in your sinister hand, and, with a diminutive pointed instrument held in the dexter hand, puncture the apex ; then, in the same manner, make an orifice in the base ; place either en tremity to your labials, and endeavor to draw in your breath; a vacuum is cre ated, and te contents of the egg are discharged into your mouth." " La I" said the old lady, " when I was a girl we used to make a pin-hole in each end and suck 'em."~ TmlE wish often falls warm upon my heart that I may learn nothlintg here that I cannot continue ini the~ other world; that I may do niothmng here but deeds that wvill bear fruit in heavens.

M but now re oei g a scientists, is de#eving of notlos. theory has been advanced that murders and such crimes are not the fruit of devilish dis positio4, of )evenge or of hate. They are simply the natural resulta of some abnormal oondition of the -brain. The undue growvth of the bone in the region of the medulla obloigata presses upon the brain and drives the innocent man to innocently seize an ax and blamelessly chop his wife's head open. It is her mis fortune, not his fault. The post mortem examination of the brains of a number of murderers shows in majority of cases some tainor, malformation, or softening of the brain. The brains of assassins are usually larger than the average. Suicides Wa almost eXery oaw 19ow soft ening of the brainin oie eti m*e lobes. The radical believers in this theory argue that this being the case, hanging is not the remedy for crime. Murderers are to be pitied, not punished, and placed un der medical treatment, instead of hanged. At least, while the theory is not yet gen erally accepted, they hold that a con vioted murderer slould be gften to them to experiment on, cut a section out of his skull bone and try to mold his brain into new sha t. However t's may be, in places where hanging is still in vogue, where the choice is between confinement under medical treatment and turning the crim inal loose on the community, the de cision should not be one long to con sider.-Pitt8burg Telegraph. Curious Reminiscences. How strange it must seem to many of our readers to be informed that the United States Court was once occupied trying a woman for the crime of being a scold. The prisoner was the notorious Ann Royal. She was tried at Washing ton in -1829, the following being an ex tract from the indictment: " The said Ann did annoy and disturb the good people of the United States by her open, public and common scolding to the com mon nuistce of the good citizens of the United States and to the evil example of others." The prisoner's counsel pleaded in her defense that the English statute, which punished common scolds with ducking, was obsolete and hence the in dictment could not be maintained. Judge Cranch, however, held that the offense was not obsolete, and added that all cor rect legal authorities decided that being a common scold to the nuisance of the neighborhood is an indictable offense. The judge thereupon fined Mrs. Royal $10, and ordered her to give security for good behavior and to stand committed until the above-mentioned security should be maintained. This is the only instance of the kind I have ever heard of in the history of our country, and hence I give it as a legal curiosity. An other bit of antiquity is found in the fol lowing extract from army orders a half century ago: "Cadet R. E. Lee, pro moted to brevet second lieutenant artil lery, July 1, 1829." How little could any one have imagined the part which this cadet was yet to play in the bloody work of internecine strife!-The Hermit in Troyv Times. THINos that will wear are not to be had cheap. Whether it be a fabric or a principle, if it is to endure, it must cost somehig. Glitter, tinsel, brilliant col oring, may all be had without much ex pense ; but if we would have strength, firmness and permanence, we must pay for them. ______ Woman's Wisdom.
