Peruvian Women. LimA is called the paradise of wo men. They are called beautiful; so they are, if you admire black eyes and ebony tresses; not the dreamy black eyes of the harems, uor the sparkling black eyes of the Syrians,nor the liquid black eyes of the Egyptians, but the black eyes that easily reveal the di rer eat types of character. Peruvian ladies have character, and arti not afraid to show it; yet we hear nothing of equal rights and privileges among, them. For them to lay claim to a righ. is but to possess it, for they can erslly win over the priesthood,and thur, have the most powerful class . of Peru on theiraide. They are gener Mly occupie d but do not work; they look upon labor as degrading. They rise early, take a 6up of tea and go to mass. Their toilet requires but a few moments. Their walking suits are neat and pretty; in this respect they surpass us. The dress is black and never touches the ground, there is no lussing or fumbling with trains. A white skirt is sometimes seen a little below the dress, with a deep hem and two tucks, and always white and clean. Prunella gaiters are generally worn; the hands are bare; the manta is thrown over the head falling gracefully down almost to the bottom of the skirt. The subject of dress claims most of their time and a t tontion; their ball dresses and opera and soiree suits are magnificent. Their boots, especially, are beautiful. No people have naturally as small feet as the Peruvians. The Peruvian-made boots are too small for foreigners. Peruvian ladles are not very inteIll gent'; as soon as they pass beyond the school-girl period they care Ittle for books or literature. Many learn to play the piano when young, but o not care to continue when married. They are excessively courteous in their man ners, but we are not to be misled by appearances. Their mode of saluta tion is more of an embrace than any. thing else, and they always say, "My house and all that I have is entirely at your disposal, and we are to be as one family." They are always wealthy in imagination-at least they never speak * of poverty. They love to smoke. Al though hand.,ome when young, they scarcely turn 20 when they begin to fade. One thing always lasts with them, and that is their gait. Their movements are gliding and graceful; the same is true of the men. The ladies are good at shopping and making bar. gains; they never tire or find a thing too trivial to occupy their timeI; they are never in haste; there is always a manana (to-morrow) and then another. - Call a laundress, and she promises to return your clothes in eight days,never sooner, except at the steam laundries, where the price Is about onc-third the value of an ordinrry garment. Eight days pass-the laundress does not ap pear. She must then be looked after. The things are not ready, she says,but come .to-morrow-and to-morrow means another week. By the time that she fully understands that you are in a hurry for the clothes, she says you can have them sure estes noche (this evening), but she raises har price about three-fold. Tiake your clothes and pay the price agreed upon, no more. The same delays may be ex peeted in all business transactions * ~ with (the Peruvians. In making any purchase everything muust either be bargained for or two or.. three times the value will be demanded. A Bird's lying. * Did you ever look at a bird's wing * ~ carefully and try to find out from It the way in which It is used? People usually suppose, either that a bird 111es because it is lighter than the air, lke a balloon, or that it rows itself along as a boat is rowved thlrough the water. Neither of these suppositions is true. A bird Is not lighter than the air, and * does not float, for when a bird is shot on the wing it falls to the ground as quickly as a squirrel. On the contrairy a bird flies by its own weight, and * ~ could not fly at all i it wvere not heav ier than the air. Look at a quill feather and you will sec that on eaich side of the central shaft or quill there * i a broad thin portion, which is called the vane. 'rThe vane on one side of the shaft is quite broad and flexible, while that on the other side is narrow and * stiff; and by looking at a wing withi the feathers in their places, you will find that they are placed so that they overlap a little like the slats on a wit . dow blind. Each broad vane r u under the narrow vane of the ( athier beside it, so that, when the wing is inioved downwvard, each eather ia pressed up against thedt ff, narrowv vane of the o Mo9 IIfOit, like a blind with th closed. After the down st.finished and the uip-stroke be gins,thec pressure is taken off from the lower surface of the wing and begins to get on the upper surfatce and then to press the feathers downward instead of upward. The broad vanes now have * nothing to support them, and they bend clown and allow the air to pas through the wing, which is now like a* blin wih te slts pen Bythese two ontiyanes-he sapeof the * ~ wing and tihe shape and arrangement of the feathers-the wing resists the air on the down-stroke, and raises the * bird a little at each 11ap, but at each u4-stroke allows the air to slide oil at the sides an d to pass through between the featiers, so no thing is lost. A cientifc sociely in Paris has con demned oleomargarine as a substitute for butter. It is claimed that the fatly pat ticles are absorbed in the oganism in astate of emulsion, and that the ab sorption of the margarine wilt not be so favorably effected as that of butter. Another ground for condemnation is that the substitute in the hands of somie mtanufacturers is liable to be adultera.. ted and made unwholesome by the use of impure fats and vegetable oils that are difllcult to digest. In its usual form hydrogen is a gas without color or taste, gn when pure without smell; but it may be changed into a liquid by a great amount of cold and of pressure. It is the lightest of all known substances, AGRIOULTURB. BEANS FOR STOOK FEEDIaN.-Mr. Partridge, an Orleans county, N. Y., farmer, sends the following particular concerning beaus as food: "During the winter season Mr. P. keeps from lifteen to twon~y-live families picking beans, and the damaged ones plekedi out, together with the split beans icreoned out before picking, are sold to our farmer, for feeding sheep and swine, but mostly for sheep. Some are fed to cows, and with good results. I have in mind one farmer forniely from this county, but now living near Spen cerport, who has purchased a gooA muany beans of us for feeding his cows, and he statod that, if whern feeding meal he would change to feeding beans, there would be an increase of from one to two quarts per day in the amount of milk, and when changed from beaus to meal a corresponding decrease. They are especially adapted to the feeding of sheep, not only having the fattoning properties of corn, but also containing some ingredient which enters largely into the production of wool. They are more valuable for feed where wool Is the object sought for than corn. As to feeding swine, they have to learn to eat them by degrees, and then by cook. Ing and mixing bran or meal with them they answer very well to feed young pigq or store hogs, and will give thein a good start; but pork made imainly from feeding beans is not considered by our farmers worth more than the salt it, takes to preserve it. It always protiuces soft, spongy pork, and in cooking fries away to almost nothing, also, the lard will not from the same harden, but remalin 6f a soft, oily na ture. Where swine are fed on beans the last six or eight weeks before slaughtering, and then changed to corn it seems to harden the umeat. Mr. I. sold quite a good many tons of poor bcans for feeding sheep one year ago at $8 per ton; they are now selling them at $11 per ton, or 35 cents per bushel, there being a steady demand "or them for feeding sheep. A large inumber of our farmern have been feed Ing sheep for market the past winter, and have been well paid in every in a tantce., PREusnVING IASTUniCS. - Among many propositions to renovate the pas ture one has been largely overlooked management. It is the cheapest and most practical manure on the farm. "'lhe common plan is to have but one pasture, upon which cattle must graze at all times. If it comes to the bare sod during seasons of extreme drouth tihe stock must continue to grub at the sod for want of better. This exposes the roots of the grass to the sun and injures or destroys the plant. Suppose we use our trees and shrubs in that way the detriment to growth would be at once apparent. A good top on grass for growth is as necessary as upon trees. That one hundred acres of laul in pastures will keep one-third more stock uhan the same number of acres in one pasture has !ong been known to the practical farmer. The reason is that the stock can be removed before it has grazed the pasture too closely, boeoro the roots of the grass are uncovered. A plan that will renovate hundreds ot Pastures in Iowa is this: Let the grass have a good start in the spring, say four ilches, before turning on the stock, and change pastures as often as the pastures appear to be closely grazed. Honsius can be educated tothe extent of their understanding, as our children and can be easily diamagedl or ruined by bad management. We believe that the differonrce found ini horses as to vic ious habits and raiiability,comnes nmuchi nore from tihe differenit management of men than from variance or natural 'iisposition in animals. Horses with -high mettle ar~e more easily educatedl than those of Jess or dlull spirita, and are more susceptible to ill traininmg anid consequenmtly may be made good or bad, accoruinug to the education they re celv e. IN feeding itshould be borne in mind t~hat there are three kinds of feed in ispensable to the wvell being or poul1 t~ry ; grain or seed such as corn,w heat shorts, etc; green plants, like boiled potatoes, raw cabbage anid other vege tables, and insects or meat to take their pliace. Many farmers sustltute beetf and~ imutton for inseets, belleyi ng that it not only answers equally well but makes the fowls more acceptable to consutmers. Coumpressedl Air Exrperuients.-A hew ;nouths ago we gave a brief accout ot experimenzt~s made at Philt~e with locomotives driven bycm. ri. Similar experimnts f$vobee tiel on tram ways in t he alghi borhood of Paris ; but in neitt or cu wa h desired siucess achi ' e. The question, however, wasL nU lIkely to be given .m;fo t sgeahrmeh eo mical as /cll as the practical point ot viw. Johlonel Beatumont, of thie Royal Arse .atl, Woolichi, has for seome tine eked thereat, and trials of his air cingine have b'een made w'lih satisfacto ry resumlts. It weighs ten tons, has a reservoir in whieh one hiundredi cubic feet, of air can be compressed to one thousand potundsk on the square inch; and~ thus cA hargedi it travelled fromi the Arsenal to D).mrtferd and back, about, thmirty miles, In sixty-three minutes. Tihme umachinmery andi the wheels work In comparative silence ; there is none of that noisy hiss and roar which no comnpainies tihe usc of. steam. Coloneol lleauiinont has overcome some of tihe di]ienitied wvhich beset for mler invem tora by placing three cylinders of gradu aitedl alz3 on eauch ride of' his engine, and by applying wvarmth to countcract the cold produced ini theo ex pansion of com= iaressedl air. At present It wvill draw a ioad of sixteen tonis, and is to be em ployed in time wvork of the Arsenal; and there Is reason to believe that, simillar machinery Is to be triedl for propeliliing thme torp~edo boats. With a larger enugine heavier loadis coumld be drawn ; unditergioumid railways won ld thon no longer be made stifliag by tihe suijlhurouts smoke froin steamt locoimo tives, andi horses would no lonuger be required on tramuways, It 1la known that attempts have been made to propt I Vvsatis Oni rivers by,ejecting a lierizun= tal coltumn of water from tihe stern. Tis column, by striking agt~intt the sturroun~dnug water, suipplied tibe pro pelling powerbut it was not suitleint. Mr. lieathorn claims to have got over the ditliulty by showing that "the loice exerted by one hlumid pourIng into or aga ist another depends oli the contact of surfaces, and not on the see tionial area of the ilowing nmass, after the hflowing mass be once set. in mo tion.'' Instead, therefore, of tubes with large orilec, lhe makes use 01 tubes wIth narrow outlet, a mere slit, and thus obtains a large super ticial contact, by ejecting water through a series or narrow openilngs.

BOILDED TUREBY.-Lly slices of un cookep ham or bacon in the bottom of a deep stewpan or brazing pan that will just hold the turkey; out up a root of celery, a largo carrot, three or four shallots, and a parsnip. Put these, with a few cloves, in the pan, lay in the turkey and add enough water to cover it. Keep the lid closed and let it simmer slowly an hour and half. Then take it up and keep in a warm place while the vegetables sre steamed. Season the gravy and stir in it four well boaten eggs till it thickens, or prepare with an oyster sauco well sea. soned. Pour some over the turkey, place the aest in a sauce tureen. At the same time prepare in this way some pigeons in bacon sauce. Quarter each pigeon, make butter hot in a stewpan and lay them so that they will become a pale brown. Dredge in some dour to brown also. For four pigeons cut a quarter of a pound of bacon into very small dice and throw this in when the dour begins to brown. As soon as the bacon begins to fry and color, add the livers and so forth and a little broth with salt, pepper, lemon juice and a slice or two of rind, and a few gratings of nutmeg. Some small onions may be added. Cover closely and Simmer till tender. PA-TTYAKEs.-PUt a quarter of a pound of butter in two pounds of flour, add a quarter of a pound of moist sugar, a cupful of yeast. and as much milk as will make a light dough,rather softer than for bread. Cover, and set it near the fire to rise. When light sprinkle a teaspoonful of salt over it (and If you like, cinnamon or ground carraway seeds), knead it well, and make tip into small buns. Lay them just touching on buttered patty-pans, in one or two rows around, according to the size, with a larger one in the cenmer to fill the space, and let them rise a little, then bake in a quick oven. Dissolve a spoonful of loaf sugar in a little milk. When the cakes are near ly done, rub thew, over with this, to make them glossy. As soon as they are baked, slip them off carefully on to a plate, and send them to table withont dividing. Currants or slips of candied peel may be added. IF your clothes catch afire, with your own hands. press your clothes above the flames closely and at the sane time lie down on the floor, and roll over and over as fast as you can. Ally person about should ceize a woolen shawl, blanket or carpet, whichever Is in reach, and with it help to smother the fire, but by no ineans to wet any thing thus used, a.s the steam wil)1 burn as badly as the lire; water may be thrown on but not smothered on. I once knew an Ignorant fellow to kill his little sister by first taking the blanket with which he wrapped her to the well to Wet it. Jie delay, and the steam she inhaled caused the death which might easily have been avoided by the use of a little common sense. How TO WASH TI FAO.-Many people object to the use of soap for the face, disliking the shiny, polished ap pearance it gives, but any who will use Dr. Wilson's directions will find that objection removed. They are as fol lows: "Fill your basin about two thirds full with fresh water; dip your face In tMe water and then your hands. Soap the ha'nds well and pass the soap ed hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Having performed this part of the opera bin thoroughly, dip the face in the water a second time and rinse 1t completely. You may add very much to the luxury of the latter part of Lihe operatIon by having a see end basin ready wvith fresh water to perform a final rinse." A TIDY RooM.-DJo you ever observe that a tidy room Is invariably a cheer l one ?

A Bo-rox woman, who has the dec orative craze the worst way, visited a friend in Norristown recently with the intention of remaining several days, but she returned home in the next train. It appears the friend didn't have a dalo, or a frieze, or a majolica Jar, or a long-legged crane worked on a fire-screen, in the house. The Boston woman was shocked. She said it was almost impossible to realize that there was, in all this broad land, a family so devoid or culture, so lacking In the tusthetic-or what you call it as to be able to live without either a majolica jar or a dado. This is pretty rough on our town; but perhaps the Boston wo man's friend had her majolica Jars, dado, friezes and things at the black smith shop getting them repaired. WrI a man was dashing with all his might and main down the street to catch a train,a gamin rushed to him and shouted: "Hey, mister, lave you got a pin?" "I have," responded the man, com ing to a sudden halt,and feeling under the lapel of his vest. "Well, then" yelled the boy, as lie jumped out of the way, "you had bet ter lasten your ears together behind your head, so as you won.c mash any swingin' signs with 'em."
