In the big factories loaenges and mot- toes are stomped in the sheet and then cut out separately with patent cutters. Wafer (oamigss are more carefully pre pared than the thick, round kind. The latter am fed into a machine like a job printing press, by the sheet, and come out round, hard confections. Wafers are cut by liand. Fruits are now crystallized to some extent by wholesalers in this country, but not as successfully as in 1 . anee. Opinions differ on this matter, home dealers declare that here the fault atone is in the quality of the fruit Others assert that we have not acquired the Fnvtrh secret of preparing the syrups and getting them to penetrate to the heart of the fruit. The flnish of fine candies is out on tor wholesalers in the same way os u retail houses, where all work is per formed by hand.

Am Aqaatio I While their neeriy constant abode is the water, they are, like most other spiders, air breathers; consequently they need some special provision for providing themselves with air while living under tlie water, and for this purpose they pos sess the art of constructing a Lind of diving belL It is an interesting sight to witness one of them making his air cell. Clinging to the lower side of a few leaves, and securing them in position by spinning a few threads, the spider rises to the level of the water, with its belly uppermost, and, doubling np its hind legs, retains a stratum of aif among the hairs with which its body is covered. Then it plunges into the water and ap pears as in the first stage of the making of its silvery robe. Going immediately to the spot it had chosen, it brushes its body with its paws, when the air de taches itself and forms a bubble under the leaf. Tlie spider surrounds this bubble with tlie impermeable silky mat ter furnished by its spinneret Returning to the surface, it takes in another layer of air, which it carries down and adds to the first one, also ex tending the envelope over it The process is kept up till the “diving bell” has reached the proper size and is finished. The ideal form of the construction is that of a thimble, but it often assumes an ir regular shape, like an inverted sack. When the spider lias taken possession of its redoubt it remains quiet in it, head down, watching for the appearance of an insect Perceiving one, it seizes it and returns to its lodge, which it has se cured against intruders by spinning threads across it, to devour its prey at its leisure.—M. Emile Blanchard in Popular Science Monthly. A Lack at T**te. One of the most irritating of the •econt idiocies of tourists is the fashion of leav ing card* nt tiio tombs of distinguished pwpte. Tlie bust of Longfellow in West minster Abbey is constantly surrounded by these inappropriate bits of pasteboard, end tlie grave of “H. H.” is said to be literally rovered with the visiting cards left by tourisLi who climbed the lonely mountain near Colorado Springs to visit the lost resting place of the poet and Nothing but an abundance of Hie tnost egregious vanity and absolute lack of taste could prompt an action so Idiotic ns tlie following of this absurd custom. —Boston Courier. TIm Long Coach Whig Pennant. Many people have wondered what is the significance of the long pennant car ried at the main truck of all vessels of war in commission. When the Dutch Admiral Van Tramp hoisted a broom at the too of the mast of his vessel to indi cate bis intention to sweep the English from the sea, the English admiral hoisted a hone whip, indicating his intention to chaMtise the Dutchman. Bence the coach whip pennant was adapted as the distinctive insignia of a war vessel in com- miaskm for service.—New York Tribune.

It is very strange that so strong and unkind a prejudice against the left hand lias lived and increased for centuries when there fa no natural or physiological reason for it. I mean to say that if you examine tlie skeleton of a person who was strong, healthy and well formed in life, you will find that the bones of tlie left hand and arm are just os many and just as large and perfect as those of the right The study of physiology will show you too that the muscles and ligaments and cartilages tliat fastened that person's srms to ids body and gave them tlie power of mo tion were made to do their work just ns well on one side of the body as on the other. If the left side were the weaker of the two, it was because of failure to exercise it os freely as the other. Monkeys and cats and other animals, to whom paws are in a certain sense hands, would uuile derisively, I imagine, if you should suggest to them that paws were rights er lefts, or that the paw on tlie one side xmld do more than its mate. When, tliorefore. a boy or girl says tbot he or iho can Oirow a ball, handle a racket or lo an) thing else, only with tlie ri;;ht 'land, it fa a direct admission that a vonkey or cat fa physically better 'quipped than that boy or girl. And . el it is tlie general belief that human x-ings are tlie most perfectly formed of •features. First attempts to use the left liand are slways awkward and discouraging, but n ordinary cases persistency will grad ually strengthen the least used member snd teach it to act as ably and sturdily is the right, till finally there will be two perfect liands instead of one to answer promptly the call of the master of all Dur itowers—the will.—J. F. Herrick in Harper's Young People. A Winter la lee land. Although tlie climate of South Iceland fa cold, the winter fa scarcely what one would be led to expect from tlie northern siiuation. There fa not much snow. A few inches usually lay upon the ground, crisp and liard, but not the piled up drifts of a New England winter. Accordingly it was possible to make horseback excur sions to the farms round about, and to sec the winter life of the people in the country. This season for the Icelander fa a time of comparative rest. As nothing can be done abroad he stays of necessity nt home, but hb life fa no mere hiberna tion. He sleeps a great deal, for his house is insufficiently lighted and the nights are long, but by daylight lie lias occupations enough. He lias bouts to build and oars to shape, saddles and liar- ness to make and to mend, or he sorts the wool wjiich the women spin into yarn and then knit Into stockings or wcavo into coarse homespun or flannel, like wadmal. A busy sound of whirring wheels often greets the ear when you enter the farm house, and you find the women all at work at the end of the long room. Anotlier duty devolves on the heads of the houseliold at isolated farms. There are good elementary schools in many I places throughout the island, but in re mote districts the children must be taught ' at home. In summer the time fa occu pied with out-of-door work, but in the comparatively idle days of winter the father, or not infrequently the mother, teaches the children of either sex tlie common branches. Iceland is perhaps the best educated community on the face of tlie earth; throughout the length and breadth of the land there is nobody who cannot read and write, and the general knowledge of some of these obscure fish erman fanners fa sometime* well nigh appalling.—William H. Carpenter inlue lie* wren Aaplnwall aad Aspinwall has risen like s Phanix from its ashes. The last Colombian revo lution, happily curtailed by Uncle Sam. has left tlie town scathed but still there. Aspinwall, or Colon, with a stress on the on,” fa not a healthful place. There is a funeral train to Monkey Hill every day, sometimes twice a day. It fa a liospital city, as well as a sea port, and the men who have been inveigled into delving amid the treacherous marshes of Uic isthmus are filling coffins at the rate of eight or ten per diem, and one coffin does the duty for many. Meu are cheap, but the coffins are dear. As to the canal, all I can say is that there fa more machinery ignobly rusting between Aspinwall and Panama than would pierce a dozen forty mile canals. In exact proportion as the Panama train recedes from Aspinwall does the faith of the traveler vanish into airy nothing. For the first ten miles all fa well. Tlien things begin to take on their natural shape. There are Americans, Europeans, Chinese, natives, gazing at the cars as they pass town after town on the line, but the faces of all bear the same impress. “All liope abandon, ye who enter liere.” Every man who goes to work or starts s store on the isthmian canal route is a silent partner with King Death. It fa a lottery out of which the adventurer hopes to emerge a winner. But the winners—they crowded the de pot at Panama—and what were they! For the most part hospital patients, or subjects for hospital treatment. Fever? It brooded over every inch of those forty- seven miles between Aspinwall and Panama. You breathed it in the air; you drank it in the water; you beheld it rank, pestiferously potential in the sur roundings of every palmleaf roofed hut, every single story tenement, every dwelling on the hills along that fated forty mile stretch.—Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. The Uobensotlern “White lJuly." During the middle ages, a noble lady, surpassingly beautiful, of the house of Orlamunde, fell madly in love with n prince of the reigning house, and sent him privately word of her love and an offer of marriage. The prince would gladly ha^e married her, but for the fact that his inrents would not consent. Social intercourse was somewhat re strained in those days. He was com pelled to disiiatcli a page to the lady with an ambiguous message, declining her offer on the ground that “four eyes" stood in their way. The young widow believed that lie referred to her two chil dren, and promptly put them to death, notifying him tliat tlie obstacle was re moved. A terrible scene ensaed between the prince and Ids murderess lady love, after which ho fled into solitude snd she died ot remorse. Since then her ghost is said to Im condemned to haunt the halls of the Holtcnzoiletus, und her ai>f>earauce fa u warning of death to some memben of tlw family. About flfeeen years ago. the terror of the inhabitants of Beriiti, on account of some reported appearances of tbc White Lady, reached such a height that the kaiser had every one of the 700 rooms in thcSchloss thoroughly searched, in tlie hope of finding some clew to the mystery; but had lie succeeded. I doubt whether the people would have given up their net superstition. Many are ready enough to testify to having seen this pale, whits robed apparition before the death of the late emperor, and stories are current of her having shown herself once again since tliat time.—Lucy C.

Professor Stanley Hall published re cently tho result of examinations made of very little folks in Boston schools. Professor Greenwood made similar in- I vestigations among tlie lowest grade of - pupils in tlie Kansas City schools, and a ; table of comparisons fa printed. The per ; cent, of children ignorant of common : things fa astonishingly less in Kansas , City schools than in the Boston; even the colored children of the western city made ! a much better showing. Another subject of investigation is th< j alleged physical deterioration in thfa country. Examinations were made of hundreds of scliool children from the age of 10 to 13, and comparisons taken : with tho tables in Molhall s Dictionary of Statistics, London, 1884. It turns out that tlie Kansas City children are taller, taking sex into account, than the averagi English child at the age of either 10 or 13, weigh a fraction less at 10, but upward of four pounds more at 13, while the average Belgian boy and girl com pare favorably with American children two years younger. The tabulated statfa tics show two facts, that the average Kansas City child stands fullv as tail as tho tallest, and that in weight he tips the beam against an older child on the other side of the Atlantic.—Charles Dudley Warner in Harper’s Magazine. Opium fur tbs Yellow Fever. Our Chinese reporter asked Dr. Yong Tyse King, of Pell street, about his ex perience with yellow fever in China. “In Kwong Tung, Foo Kien, and Kwong 81," he said, "there were a few oases of yellow fever several years ago. The fever was called by the natives ‘wun Man.’ It never became epidemic, owing to tho people's habit of smoking opium." • Does the smoking of Opium prevent or cure yellow fever!” ‘•Certainly it does. Wherever opium But is not the opium emoHng habit > fever!” ■MM I "No; it takes at least a vear of con stant smoking to acquire the habit, as all old opium rmokere will testifv. There might be yellow fever all over the United States, hut the Chinese opium smokers would not be affected. ” I Dr. Li Shi Leon, of Mott street, said; "Why, certainly opium ■nokfag cures yellow fever.

In Yokohama is a long boulevard called the “Bund," bounded at each end by a jetty or pier culled the "Hatoba," with a pleasant wooded hill to the left known as the' "III.iff," dotted with white houses. The I art or or bay itself is a circle of water jierluips three miles wide—big enough at any rate to be so rough in windy weather that the ships have to get up steam and go to sea for safety. To come now to "first impressions;" tlierc are, of coarse, two kinds of these. There are the mere sense impressions, the things which strike the eye snd ear as strange, and there are the "first im pressions," which mean the conclusions springing to the mind when the exter nals are first understood. The former class of these "first impressions" gener ally attach themselves to very trivial matters, hut they are often not the less entertaining for all thfa. The first thing, for instance, that 1 noticed in Japan was the enormous hats of the coolies, and next (he ludicrous combinations of Euro;-can and foreign dress worn by many young members of the middle class. A [x>t hut, a cotton wrapper or bulh gown—-the yukata—a pair of long stockings and boots—tliat was a common mixture, the warer evidently and rigidly thinking that he had adopted the brat points of both systems. An hour after landing, too, a re mark made to me by an educated Japanese gentleman on the Belgic recurred to me. I had asked him if Uie Doming constitution for Japan was likely to include trial by jury. "After you have seen Japan,” he replied, with a nuile, "you won’t ask that question.” I aaoan by tills that I was stru(& with the fact tliat tho common people of Japan, courteous and clever and civilised as Jiey are in many ways—the hewers of wood and drawers of water and pullers if jerinkfahas—are upon a different plane Vera the common people at home. One night say that they live in two dimen- ious, whereas trial by jury, not in its jrigtn, but in its significance today, fa a three dimension idea. Moreover, the rulers of Japan see that trial by jury fa often a failure or a farce with os, and they have no wish to educate the people up to it In Japan there are almost as many re ligious festivals as in Spain, and one of tliese—matsuri fa their generic name— was being celebrated the other day in the Japanese town. I went to look for It with my detective camera, and when I met it I could hardly believe my eyes— it corresponded more to one's idea of New Guinea than of Japan. Upon an ordinary bullock cart a raised platform and scaf folding twenty feet high had been con structed, and bullock and all covered with injicr decorations and green boughs and artificial flowers. In front a girl with a grotesque mask danced and post ured. while half a dozen musicians twanged impossible instruments snd kept up an incessant tattoo on drums. Chil dren wild with delight crowded up among tlie performers and clung like flies all over the cart, and only tliat Providence which takes care of them, to- getlier with drunkards and the United States of America, preserved them from making a Juggernaut of it On foot around tlie baslii, os the whole structure fa called, were twenty or thirty men, naked cs to tli. ir legs, their faces chalked, with straw hats a yard wide, many col- ond Itmirs, in which scarlet predomi- nail>1, decked out witli paper streamers and flowers enough to make a Sioux chief despair of himsslf, dancing along to a very rude chant and at every step banging upon the ground a long iron bar fitted with loose rings. The colors, the song, the donee, the uimic and the iron formed to gether a spectacle ss barbarous in taste as [Kjosible, something wholly different from what one had supposed the gentle culture of the Japanese to be. At the lime I was greatly puzzled, but subse quently I learned that thfa matsuri fa not so lorbarous as it looks. I took It to be u serious religious ceremony. I found that it had just as much to do with relig ion os on Italian carnival has that fa, it was bom of religious feeling and has entirely forgotten its ancestry. Bud dhism, which is the religion of the com mon people, has always played to the gallery, so to speak, and the priests of today make money out of the matsuri, portly in the shape of the coins which are throw* into the temple ponds and partly from their share of the subscrip tions of (lie well to do people of the neign- borhood, by whom the festival fa sup ported. Tlie affair is thus a Japanese carnival, where people drink sake and play the fool themselves or watch others doing so, exactlv as at Nice or Venice. No account of "first impressioos, ” too, would be complete without an illusion to the grace and charm of the Japanese women. The first time one sees a couple of pretty and prettllv dressed Japanese girls walking abroad under their huge variegated paper umbrella, with their elaborately dressed black hair, their per fect tiny hands and feet, their large brown eyes—set obliquely if they arc ••beauties;" with their delicate, soft toned c - garments, and the heavy fiat silk <>Li twfated round and round their wnfat and ending in a colossal bow be hind; with their funny motion on their cliivckipping pattens, half undulating run and half waddle, and their merry laughter and chatter—when one sees them for the first time, I sav, one fa usually delighted enough to follow them up and down for half an hour under a fine pretense of faring one’s way or look big into the shops.
