My great resource as an article of
diet, was the fruit which abounded at
every meal Next to the bananas of
every variety, of which I consumed
several at etary meal my standing
dessert consisted of mangoes (Manqift-
ra indica), egg-shaped green fruit, from
three to six inches long; their cream-
ike golden pulp has a faint butHtotinct
aroma of turpentine. The fruit of the
passion-flower (pf/ssijorabww very
deasant to mv taste, reminding me of
he gooseberry. I Whs lOs* pleased
with the renowned cusisrtl-npple, the
A/ifiona squamosa, and wWlklife Indian
Almond, Ihe hard nut of Tcnninalui
cata/tpa. Thera are singularly few ap
ples and oranges in Ceylou; the latter
remain green, and are not juicy; but
want of cultivation is ^oyktlem chiefly
answerable for the inferiority of this and
other fruits; the Singhalese are far too
easy-going to make any orogress la
horticulture. Refreshed with my mod
est repast, I employed the hot hoars of
mid'-(lay--from twelve to four o’clock-
in anatomioa! or microscopic work in
making observations and drawings, and
in the preservation and storing of my
collected objects. The evening boors,
from four to six o'clock, were gen
erally occupied with some lovely
country excursioa; sometimes I made

The English language lost its last
sharm for Mr. Spoopenkyke, and he
turned to his strings with a withering
look of contempt for his wife.
“Now you be careful,” he said at
length. “Here's another varmint, and
you musn't let him get away. When 1
say ‘Scalp!’ you stove the net under
him and just bring him aboard.”
“Can you see him yet?” asked Mrs.
Spoopendyke, waving the net over her
toad and peering into the water.
“Wait! Yes, there he is! Careful,
remember. Now, scalp!”
' He must have been a crab of phe

“Lost him again!” exclaimed Mrs.

“Take it off!” howled Mr. Spoopen

Mrs. Spoopendyke dropped the han

“Cast the crab!*’ yelled Mr. Spoop

Curing Hay.
The question of whether hay could
not he cured by other than the common
and often d structiio method now in
vogue is being closely investigated by
the experts and farmers of England-
The old nnd original method was to
let the grass first get well ripened, then
cut it with thte reaping hook or scythe,
turn it frequently with the fork to dry
or rijien in the sun and the next day put
it in cocks. After a few days make the
whol ’into stacks or ricks, yir put it in
the barn. ' *
After this came mowing machines,
horse-t akes, teddefs,self-loading wagons
ami hay-forks, and tackling for unload
ing and placing the hay in the barn or
ricks.
Under thc.firstsys em there was often
heavy losa and always some injury from
exposing the grass to long to the
weather, which could not always be de-
p nded upon. Modern applian esh ve
materially hasten d the process o.' get
ting the hay cured and in the barn, hut
with continuous wet weather there is
still much risk that should if poss hie be
avoided. To overcome this troub’e
many experiments otj now under trial
with more o le^s success. One method
proposed is to stock the grass while per
fectly green, with considerable layers of
straw between layers of the grass, with
an open passage in the center of the
stack for the moisture to pass nut. Thia
has not been discovered to prevent a
certain amount of mold forming on the
7 Maohiper) with drying apparatus at
tachment has been tried, but not suffi-’
ciently economical and expeditious te
prove a success. tsrmara, however,

of the Redstone branch
The opening
of the Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charles
ton Railroad marks a st li further decline
in the famous old National turnpike
from Cumberland to Wheeling. “An
act to regulate the laying out and mak
ing a road from Cumberland, Md , to
the State of Ohio,” became a law in
1806, and the first stage-coach carrying
the United States matte over that route
made its first trip on August 1, 1818.
The distance was one hundred and thir
ty miles and the total cost of construct
ing this great highway acHss the Alle-
ghanFes was $1,700,000, Mts Are flic
soon became enormous, and inns to
accommodate the traveling public
sprang up so thickly along its line that
tney were said te average two to smile.
The pike was Vdmiraoly obstructed,
but th> heavy traffic which demon
strated its necessity put H Hffi need of
frequent repairs, and the Government
finally turned it over te tto States of
Pennsylvania Maryland and Ohio, and
they established toll gates to pay for its
maintenance. In ISM, with the open
ing of thetPennsylvania Railroad to
Pittsburgh aad the Baltimore * Ohio to
its decline began.

gold that seemed to run into the solid
grave*. 1 tried to pry it out, but It was
too firmly imbedded. Then 1 worked

grow larger as I dug the gravel away.
We placed ono on the lookout to

we were startled; and after some time I
got it loose, and by hard lilting, and
there it lay, almost pure gold, nearly
the shape of a heart, and it fitted ex

quartz attached to it was crystallized,
and would not exceed three pounds in
weight. We got it in the cabin as quick
as possible, in a sack, and placed it
unoer one of the bunks, intending to ex

A paper, on thia subject, read by Raw.
J. Owen Doraey before the American
Amociation, notices some remarkable
customs in relation to marriage and kin
ship aa prevailing among the Dhegitha
Indians, particularly tto Omalias aad
Poncas.
When a tribe is banting it camps, by
aivln or nations, in a circle, each gens
bearing the name of some animal. All
the members of one gens are relatives,
and marriage between members of one
gens te absolutely forbidden. Member
ship in a gens is by deeoent in the male
line, not in the female. The relations
of a man are denoted by colon; for
example—black, grandfather or grand
mother ; blue, father or mother. His
connections are denoted by mixed odors,
such ss pink head and skirt, with light-
bine triangle on the body, for sister-in-
law. A man can marry his brother’s
widow, aad her chihlren call him father
even before their father’s death. His
sister’s children are only nephews and
nieces. Hi* mother’s sister is always
called mother for tije same, reason, and
even bis paternal grandfather’s brother’s’
■on te bis father. These, and many
other distinctions, show that the terms
of relatiopahip are far moes
ous and complicated with tto Oma
ha* than xfith ua. A
marry any woman belonging to an
other gens, whether eooneotod with hns
or not; though tmunag^ into his motfe
