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..

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

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

by applying wvarmth to countcract the

Mr. lieathorn claims to have got over
the ditliulty by showing that "the
loice exerted by one hlumid pourIng

contact of surfaces, and not on the see

the hflowing mass be once set. in mo

thus obtains a large super ticial contact,

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

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

"EOETINE," says a Boston phys
clan, "has no equal as a blood puritie
Hearing of its many wonderful cure
after all other remedies had failed,
visited the laboratory and convinc(
myself of its genuine merit. It is pr
pared from barks, roots, and herb
each of which is highly effective, at
they are compounded in such a mann
as to produce astonishing results."
Rubber cushions under the legs of
work-brienh are suggeited as an effec
lve method of deadming noise, it bel n
found, as stated, that in a certain fac'
ory the hammering or tirty coppe:
smiths was scarcely audible in the rooi
below,their benches having under eac
leg a rubber cushion. Kegs of - and <
sawdust applied in the same way at'or
similar immunity. A few Inches <
sand or sawdust being first poured ini
each keg, tht-ra is laid on a board <
block upon which the leg rests, an
arotiand the log and block Is poured fit
dry sand or sawtiust. By this simp
means, It is said, not only al notse,bi
all vibration and shock are so compl<
t ly pievented that an ordinary anvi
thus mounted, may be used even in
dwelling-house without annoying 11
occupants.
A Wurtemberg inventor has recentl
exhibited some toothed gear whee.
made of leather instead of metal, ti
advantages claimed for them bein
that they have a much quieter an
more elastic run, are extremely du:
able, and require no lubrication wha
ever. These gear wheels are preparE
from raw buffalo hides, thoroughi
cleansed from all hair, flesh, &j., an
glued together in as many layers as aj
necessary to produce the breadth 4
wheel required. The cementing is 4
course ef'ected under very heavy pre:
sure, as in an hydraulic press, th
being kept up until the glue has con
pl:tely~hardenud. From the sh- ets<
pil.ts prepared according to ti
method thus described, the ter'th a:
cut out, of uniform size and pgtter
by saw and chisel.
EVEnYBoDY ispieased with the in
proved Cart'ol'ine, a deodorized extral

as siiring water, and was originally I:
tended by nature as a panacea for a
diseases of the scalp and skin, and as
natural hair renewer.
In the course of a series of investig
tions, Pr of. Geikie has found that
some cases tomb -stones ef marble al
worn down a quarter of an inch in le;
than a century by the action of storma
in other cases the stone is disinte~grate
internally, so that the-very substsnu
of the marble crumbles away. On tl
ether hand, slabs of freestone and oth<
uniaminated sand rocks are so endu
ing that the sharpness of the lette
cut upon them is scarcely blunt-edi
an appreciable degree by a century
exposure.

wvhieh one's sense of patin is greatly cl
minished. This phenomenon is no
attracti ng considerable attention, as
is thouaght that rapid breathing nmayI
