Wha' n War CvirccipoDdrnt Saw on n
Tnrki*h Train?The Wild ZeibeckM UeMoribed.
A war correspondent traveling on a
train in Bulgaria describes some of his
fellow-passengers in the following vigorous
and graphic language:
Arrived at the station, I found the 1
Varna train already in and the platform
crowded with the usual picturesque
throng of soldiers, Bashi-Bazouks and
Circassians, which make a Turkish railway
station in these warlike times a
study for a painter. The train, which
was of great length, and drawn by two
powerful engines, was crammed from
end to end with a regiment of Zeibecks,
or Asiatic irregulars, the same gentlemen
whose very irregular conduct at
Constantinople and then at Varna has
resulted in their being shipped off as
A CURIOUS INDUSTRY.
A Worm Farm nt Nottingham, England?
How Worms are Collected and Raised for
the .MarKet.
When at Nottingham a few clays ago,
I was much pleased at the discovery of
an entirely new industry, namely, the
rearing and education of worms for the j
purposes of anglers. Mr. Wells, fishing- i
tackle maker, of Sussex street, Notting- i
ham, ourries on a business and trade in
worms. He has several people in his
employ who collect worms every favorable
night during the year. He sells the
following kinds of worms, namely, the
lob or dew worm, th?i cockspur and the
ring-tailed brandling. In dry weather
worms are scarce; the men have to water
the ground for them. In wet weather j
the worms are better and heavier. They j
are caught in the meadows and pasture i
lands in the neighborhood; the supply
is not failing.
The worms are sold by the thousand
or the quart. In a warm, moist night
from two to six thousand worms are
brought in by the collectors. Some people
can collect worms much better than
others. The worms are very cunning,
and are apt to pop back into their holes
if the person treads heavily.
When the worms are brought in, Mr.
Wells at once begins his training opera- j
tions by placing them in properly selected
moss. Stag's horn moss will not
do at all, it is too harsh. Grass is bad.
Field moss is the best. The worms are

far away as possible?to the banks of j
the Danube, at JRutschuk, where they i
will have ample chance of exercising
their peculiar talents in the pillaging of
deserted houses or in marauding expeditions
into Wallacliia.
At Sheitanjik, the next station to
Shumla, where a halt of half an hour
enabled the passengers to get some
breakfast the Zeibecks poured out of
the carriages by hundreds, and I was
able to study them at my ease. Great,
strapping, muscular fellows they were,
clothed in all the colors of the rainbow,
aud with complexions varying from a
, ligfct brown, not deeper than auburn, to ;
a coal black. It is by his head and legs
that the Zeibock is to be distinguished ;
from his Mussulman kinsmen in Europe. '
Although since their arrival in the coun- j
try many of them have adopted the fez j
alone as headdress, a large proportion
still rctaiu the extraordinary coiffure in I
which they seem to delight. .It is a com- !
plicated top hamper of turbans and '
haudkerch iefs wound round and twisted !
in many cunning and rakish folds and
piled up in a pyramid, on the apex of
which, quite clear of the head, is placed
a fez, with a tassel reaching to the
* shoulder. One huge dandy, a man of
herculean proportions, in addition to the
flowing tassel of his fez, had suspended
from the pyramid a fringe of gay colored
stuff, which dangled about liis ears and .
rouud his neck. It was a headdress
worthy of?and indeed very suggestive
of?a red Indian chief. As to his legs,
the Zeibeck is also remarkable. He
wears short, baggy breeches, ending j
abovo the knee, which is left bare; from
below the knee to the ankle Irs Sturdy
limbs are encased in erreaves of cloth.
embroidered and worked in fanciful
colors; bis feat, innocent of covering,
are protected by stout slippers.
In their broad sashes the Zeibecks
carry a whole arsenal of weapons ; i
Bwords, long and short, straight and
curved, with curious guardless hilts,
sometimes beautifully inlaid or carved; j
daggers and knives, with sheaths of em- j
lx>ssed silver; quaint flintlock pistols, 1
with handles ?f ivory and damascened
locks and barrels. Add.to these a long
gun, slung at the back, and you have a
Zeibeck in his war paint He has about
him the means of putting to death by
distinct and separate methods a dozen
men; but as his range of smooth bore
flintlock firearms and short swords is not
adapted to modern European warfare, he j
is, so they say, U be armed and drilled |
at Rustchuk like the rest of the army of
the Sultan, and instead of carrying the
lives of many " Muscovs" innis sash
he is to carry them neatly packed away
under the spiral spring of a Winchester
rifle. But, whether armed with a
blunderbuss or r jpeater, the Zeibeck is
said to be a desperate fighter, absolutely
ignorant of the meaning of the word fear.
The words, "Biler pipe bnst," shouted
from the engine, probably did not con- ,
vey much idea to our Asiatic friends,
but the explanation seems satisfactory,
for theheads went in as the train backed
rapidly down the incline and again drew
up at Sheitanjik, where we had to wait
two mortal hours while the damaged
pipe was replaced or mended. The train
was emptied again-and the Zeibecks scat- j
tcred over the fields around the station,
or squatted patiently about the platform. ,
The European passengers by way of beguiling
time began another breakfast,
much to the f^touishment of their
Orieutal fellow travelers who gazed in
wonder through the window. Never
touching wine or strong drink, and subsisting
for days and weeks together upon
bread and water, these absteminous,self- ,
denying people might well marvel at the j
capacity of the Giaours. Before the j
damaged engine was ready for work
again the sun had set and "the hour of
prayer had arrived. Along the entire
leugth of the platform, with one accord,
the Zeibecks ranged themselves in line.
Facing toward the Holy City (Mecca),
and devoutly putting off their shoes, *
they made their evening prayer. It was i
a most striking sight. A hundred pairs
of hands were raised simultaneously in
adoration, a hundred foreheads touched
the ground together. Bristling with ;
weapons and gay with all the picturesque ;
variety of Eastern costume, the long line
of pious warriors stood, knelt and was
prostrated. It was the strangest
4 4 church parade" I had ever seen.
La Tlah il Allah ve Mohammed reoul*

Mohammed is the right of God." Onee
more we were translated into the Middle
Ages. Just as a robber baroD of old
would bnru his neighbor's castle, carry
off his wife and then found a chantrey,
so these Mussulman freebooters of today
will pillage a house, 44 find" a purse,
and then put off their 6hoes and pray.
?
Exercise and Occupation.
Exercise for the body, occupation for
the mind?there are the grand constituents
of health and happiness, the cardinal
points upon which everything turns.
Motion seems to be a greater preserving
principle of nature, to which even inanimate
things are subject; for the wind,
the waves, the earth itself are restless,
and the waving of trees, shrubs and
flowers is known to be an essential part
of their economy. A fixed rule of taking .
several hours of exercise every day, if !
}>os8ible in the open a;r, if not, under
cover, will be almost certain to secure
oue exemption from disease, as well as
from the attacks of low spirits, or ennui,
that monster who is ever wavlaying the
.v. i n nm 'u.A ?
iiuii aau IUUUICUI, 1 muw uut u dduuo
and the giant dies." Low spirits can't
exist in the atmosphere of bodily and
mental activity.
Farming by Wholesale.
The Taopi farm in Mower county,
Minn., is on the line of the C., M. and
St. P. R. R. It extends three miles one
way by two and three-fourths the other.
Tue crops raised this season were : 2,250
acres of wheat, 000 acres of oats. 100 of
corn, twenty of potatoes, and 200 of
timothy. Thirty pairs of horses and
mules an average of twenty-five men are
employed throughout the season, and
during harvest nearly double the number.
The farm is subdivided into tracts
of two miles in length by one in width,
and at the commencement of the plowing,
four furrows around a track, making I
twenty-four miles, constitutes a day's
worji
put Jli.lU liiC U1UOO IV OWlUi 4.x. 11VOUcaught;
worm is very delicate and tender,
and easily breaks up when put on the
hook. When a worm is properly educated
he is as tough as a bit of india
rubber, and behaves as a worm should
when put on a hook. The way to test
a worm is to take him up and pass the
linger gently down the length of him. If
anything comes out of him he is not fit,
and is put back for further training.
The meaning of this is that the wild
worms contain, more or less, food undergoing
digestion. When put into the
moss this food disappears. The moss
in some way fivcilitaies this operation,
but I cannot quite see how this is, unless
the worms disgorge all their former
food, and practically become very little
else than skin.
The keeping of worms depends very
much upon the weather. They will not
keep well above a week, Mr. Wells has
a sypjiy of worms ready for his customers
all the year round. He goes over
his moss very frequently, picking out
the mauled and mashed worms, and only
sending to market the plump and healthy
ones, which are packed up for market in
moss; the bags used are of light canvas.
Not only does Mr. Wells collect worms,
but he also breeds them in considerable
quantities. In his garden is a special
heap made of vegetable matter, expressly
for the purpose of breeding worms. I
shall not, of course, say what substance
for worm-breeding is most favorable;
this is a professional secret. On turning
the heap over where the worms are
bred, it was very interesting to see the
worms in various stages of growth. Mr.
Wells knows from experience pretty well
what the age of a worm is. I had the
pleasure of pointing out to him the eggs
of the worm. These are about three
lines long, and somewhat oval. They
had a sort of lid at each end, which
opens when the young are liberated. I
believe that two young are sometimes
produced from the same egg.
The business of worm selling has been
going on some ten years and is gradu
any increasing.?rramc isucKiana, in
Land and Water.
v Where Lightning Strikes.
To reassure the timid and nervous
some calculations and directions for security,
which, from the frequent occurrence
and unusual severity of thunder
storms, might not be unacceptable to
some, are given.
There are seventy thousand chances
to one agaiust an individual's being
killed in this way in the
whole year. But as there are perhaps
ten of these storms in a season, the
chances of being killed are as 700,000
to one in any one storm. At the worst,
there seems to be a half a million
chances against a timid lady's having
her terrors realized, according to the doctrine
of chances. If she lies down in
her fright, as she is likely to do, on
either a feather bed or hair mattress,
these chances in her favor are multiplied
to at least a million.
Another consolation is that she has
little to apprehend from a flash of lightning
which she has leisure to see. As
light travels 227,260 miles in a second,
and lightning only 1,142 feet in the same
time, you may easily compute the distance
of the electric discharge. If 4.62
seconds or six beats of the pulse elapse
between the lightning and the thunder,
the discharge is a mile off.
To guard against possible danger on
its near approach you may insulate your
bed or chair by putting their legs on
glass. Feathers and hair itfford great
security. Therms also less danger after
the rain has begun to fall copiously than
before, because a moist atmosphere
serves as a conductor for the electric
fluid, diffusing it and conveying it to the
earth.
A man wlio is wet, being a better conductor
than a tree which cannot be so
thoroughly wetted, ought not to stand
under one, and animals, on account of '
their bodies, are always better conductors
than trees. But though wrong to
stand near a tree, you will be very safe
a little beyond the extent of its branches
?a position which ought to be chosen,
as the higher object will take the lightning
first?or you might stand on dry
wood, wool or silk.
The middle of a room is safer than
near a partition, and this than near an
exterior wall. A building is a better
protection than a tree ; bui a barn or stable
containing wet grain or hav is worse
than an open field. Sitting on horseback
or in a carriage is dangerous.? Worcester

He Sat on a Lion's Tail.
During ft recent visit to the Philadelphia
Zoological Garden we witnessed
an amusing incident illustrative of
Young America's love for adventure says
a correspondent. In the rear of the
lion and tiger house large cages are constructed,
where the animals come out at
pleasure to sun themselves. On this occasion,
as we stood admiring two fine
specimens stretched at full length on
the sandy floor, one so near the bars
that its tail extended through, and lay
on the grass outside, a boy approached,
in advauce of his mother and sister,
and, no sooner did he see the lion than
an idea seemed to strike him, for with
one bound, and before his mother could
stop him, he was over the low rails, and
quickly approaching the lion, sat down
on its tail. But he had not long to sit,
for in a twinkling the lion sprang to its
feet and made for the boy, who barely
escaped a stroke of the powerful paw,
by turning a back sumersault. The
mother stood speechless, as the boy ran
shouting, "Well, I don't care. I'll
have it to say I sat on a lion's tail."
P> rnvian Syrnp vs. sironoiir imnw.
It has been the desideratum with the medical
profession to prepare a preparation of iron less
objectionable than any of those now in use,
which often procure unfavorable effects upon
the system, especially when prepared with
alcoholic fluids.
In many cases of debility and convalescence
from disease, where a tonic is indicated, wine,
brandy, porter, etc., have,"been recommended ;
but these are of doubtful efficacv, to say the
least. Alcohol is never digested, is ranged
among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable
of affording nutrition. It creates generally an
unnatural excitement and derangement of the
circulation, irritating the whole system by preventing
the blood from losing its carbon.
Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article approaching
to purity, almost all the wines,
brandies, porters, etc., being more or less
adulterated.
Such being the case with regard to the spirituous
preparations of iron, and the alcoholic
drinks, of which any ono can satisfy himself by
investigating the subject, an opportunity is
now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the
trial of an article in general practice, which
has the very strongest recommendations from
medical and scientific men of the highest
character?a preparation which so happily combines
the protoxide of iron with the other constituent
parts that the effects incident to the
use of iron salts are entirely obviated.
For all cases iu which iron or any tonic is
needed, this preparation is confidently believed
to be far superior t<* any other. It seems to
purify the very fountain of health.

?* feel to thank God all the time, that
there is so good a medicine as VEGBTINE,
