The Human Hair.
The durability of human hllr i* a
fortunate thing for those whose realpa
more or less lack that adornment. What
would be the condition of one-half of
our female friends if human hair was as
perishable as human flesh? W hat could
art or science do toward restoring to
woman her chief attraction, if human
hair w ere not nearly as imperishable otf
the human head as on it? Even death
itself, which in time leaves no trace of
flesh and bone, seems, under certain
conditions, powerless to destroy our
hair. Numerous are the .instances not
only of the growth of the hair after
death, hut also of its virtual indestruc
tibility. Avery curious example of this
was brought before public notice at the
monthly mooting of a roc ety of anti
queries. A member produced a photo
graph of the back hair of a young
Roman lady, who, udging from a coin
found lying under her coitin, must have
lived about the time of Constantine.
When the collin was opened it was seen
that the body hud beeu buried in gyp
sum with the head on a pillow. The
front part of the skull had given way,
so that the ha k of the head was thrown
forward, and on it was a long folded
tress of female hair with two et pins
remaining in it. It was of lovely au
burn c olor and in excellent preservation.
Now, it is not for one moment Insinuat
cd that this interesting tress was such
as young ladies of the nineteenth century
hang over the back of the bedroom
chair. It indisputably belonged to the
head of tlie Roman girl when she was
buried. —Philadelph m Pret.
A Now Empress.
On November Bth appeared an edict
from the impress announcdig that Yeh
hoh na-la, the daughter of the Manchu-
Brigadier-Gcncral, Kwei-k ang (younger
brother of the Empress), had been se
lected as the consort of the youthful
Emperor of China, and that two gills
named Tat,a-la, daughters of ( hang
shuh, a Mancliu ident of a
Peking Board, aged fifteen and thirteen
years respectively, had been chosen tor
the harem. The 1 mperor’s marriage
will take place, according to present ar
rangements, at the time which the
Astronomical Board has ascertained, or
st all events lias declared, to be pro
pitious.
The process of selecting the Emperor’s
consort is interesting. After two in
spections at considerable intervals, tlie
number of candidates was reduced to
thirty-one, who arc daughters of man
darius of above the fourth rank, and, of
course, of Manohu extraction. These
thirty-one yaeng Indies were conveyed
in carts to the palace in the early
rooming at 2 o’clock. They entered by
the “Gate of thoSmithern Sea,” which
they crossed in six boat-*, and were
conducted to the palace, which
they at ii a. m. A
splendid banquet was then spread
before them, after which they were ush
ered into the presence of her Majesty
the Km press- Dowager by groups of four
and five It may interest the Indies to
know that her Majesty wore on the occa
sion an apricot yellow silk long dress,
with a black velvet jacket. Each girl
carried a tablet bearing her name and
age, also the name of her father, banner,
etc , which was presented to the Em
press while the girl stood before her.
After some interrogations, and in no few
cases even monitory words for having
continued to shave the forehead, her
Maje-ty formed her opinion of the can
didate, which, when unfavorable, was
signified by handing the gill’s tablets to
one of the eunuchs with the order to
present the aspirant with a roll of silk.
The girl with her silk was then taken
back to her cart, never more to partici
pate in the imperial matrimonial compe
tition.
The selection of anew Empress in
flicts a serious burden on many poor
men whose daughters are eligible and
must be presented, but who have little
means to defray the expenses incidental
to journeying to Peking and frequont
visits to the palace. Most of them pray
to be put out of their misery at the first
inspection, and those who survive to the
last, and arc then rejected arc really to
be pitied.- —San Francisco Chronicle.
Fashion Notes.
All aprons now arc long.
Chatelaines are in again.
Some hats are quite caricatures, being
bo large, contorted and outre.
The latest use for smocking is as a de
coration for nigh,dress yokes.
Youthful-looking blouses for misses
are made of gay plaid silks or woolens.
Black trimmings are especially liked
for red and green frocks for l.ttlo girls.
The deep liussian collar, pointed like
a vest in front, is a fashionable piece of
fur.
The style of dressing hair has a
tendency to be lower than has lately been
worn.
Some of the newest hosiery shows ex
tremely gay colorings and fantastic de
signs.
Ripe cherry is the name of the very
newest red As yet it comes only in the
finest of silks.
Tucks, smocking and feather and her
ring-bone stitching in colored floss are
the favorite trimmings for little girls’
frocks the present season.
Long < oats, that cover the entire dress,
are made of black broadcloth and
trimmed around the neck and down the
front in a straight line with llussian
sable.
For little girls there are hoods in
white bicilieime or in cashmere. The
crown is drawn with close rows of cord
ing and the front finished oif with lace
ribbon and a full aigrette.
The new long mits just brought out
for wear with dinner gowns, have no
fingers at all, but have a double row of
silk embroidery around the top of the
hand and the edge of the thumb.
The newest jerseys are in directoire
style, with wide, short revers of silk or
of moire, and the full space from the
throat down crossed at the waist line by
a very broad wrinkled Empire belt.

Startling Firc-bn? Industry.
“Burning houses and stores to ordei
for the purpose of securing insuranci
money is a novel and startling industry,’
said Inspector M< Dcvittof tlie Insurance
Patrol to a Philadelphia Time-< reporter,
“It is estimated that fully 15<, of the
900 tires that on an average occur an
nually in this city are the work of pro
fessional tire-bugs, or, as they arc styled
in their own circles, ‘fireworks men.
The headquarters of the gang has beer
located in New York city, and its mem
bers aie supposed to operate through
agencies in Philadelphia, Boston, Balti
more, Washington and all the principal
cities of the l ast.”
The liusiues- guise of these agents and
their employes is generally that of a
glazier. The pol ce authorities of this
city are confident that there are several
“glaziers” iu this city, and that they
constitute a regular agency for a New
York concern. “These ‘glaz.iers’ nomi
nally go about to put glass in windows,”
said the Inspector, “and they make a
practice oi stoppingat the retail clothing
| stores, and, with a knowing wink at the
; proprietor, ask if there is any business
on hand for them. Fires made to order
| by these agents generally happen among
i the small retail clothing stores.
The New York tire furnishing firm
controls large clothing stores, from which
new and second-hand goods are supplied
to tho | roprietor, who wants to have his
establishment burned out. These goods
are sent in trunks to the business man,
who expects to pay a certain price for
them if they shall be consumed by fire.
If the goods are only partially destroyed
or damaged by water a nominal sum is
paid for the hire of them. The methods
of firing houses pursued by these the
bugs are varied, and they bailie many
attempts to solve them. It is an er
roneous impression that the incendiaries
perform their work by some kind of
machinery, for that would disclose their
business.
The authorities feel confident that
many of the mysterious fires are started
from chemical combinations. Chemicals
are combined by these “glaziers” in nro
portions that will explode at almost any
time desired. A common way of starling
a fire employed by the fire-bugs is by
filling a lamp with combined coal oil
and benzine. In almost all of the in
cendiary fires the lamp methods are
mostly used.
A Professional Treasure Hunter.
Standing in front of the llofifman
House the other evening, with a lingo
diamond iu his si nrf and a cigar in his
mouth, was a man who follows a peculiar
calling. Some four years ago he was a
clerk in a grocery store in a little town
on Long Island. Everybody in the town
knew “liilly” Delaney, but perhaps they
wouldn’t recognize in the well-dressed,
handsome man in front of the Hoffman
the Billy of a few years ago. lie is a
professional trcasuie hunter. His first
delving experiment was on Long Island,
and it was so successfnl that it enable
him to quit clerking forever.
One day he turned up in North Caro
lina and organized a company to seek
for family plate hidden during the war.
This venture was not a da . ling success,
but it repaid tire trouble, i rom South
Carolina he went to Honduras,and there
he struck a small fortune in silver coin
w hich was buried over a century ago by
an alleged pirate. How Delaney came
to know its whereabouts will probably
always remain a mystery. —New York

ground a* it doc* out of it, with a
moderate soil resistance to a downward
growth, seem* to possess a tendency of
increase in length of stock. The seed
is sown in April broadcast,from a pouch
made by tying together two corners of n
linen sheet. This is slung over the
right shoulder, the left arm holding the
seed pouch open—precisely as our own
good fathers used to sow wheat, oat*
mid hurley from the striped, brown,two
I>u lift hug. The entire skill required
in flax sowing is in securing a uniform
distribution of the seed mid a sud'ciontly
liberal amount; for those two essentials
give even length of stulk and lenst
bran, hing at the top, largely increasing
the value to both the spinner mid tho
To this point the tenant has required
no more help than perhaps his own fam
ily could give him; hut now that
“weeding-time” lms arrived, additional
labor must he hired. It comes trooping
down from the mountain districts in the
form of buxom, shapely Irish lasses.
Amazons in frame and strength, they
are beings of a brave and sunny mood
who emi exist on less food, work harder
in the Held for twelve hours of every day,
and dance longer and with more vigor
ous evolutions at night, than any other
women or men that live. Nor are these
picturesque folk nil. Women and
girls from near villages also hire to the
Irish farmer in summer. The mountain
eers engage from two to threo months
the villuge girls, by the df.y or week,
lioth do men's labor, or more, anil re
ceive about one shilling per day. Their
food is of the meageiest and plainest
character. Oaten bread, made from
coarse oatmeal, with only salt and water
added, occasionally a portion of the
commonest vegetables, with n little of
the vilest purchasable tea, and, for a
great luxury, a drop of milk, arc all.
They scarcely know the taste of butter,
meat or fowl. And yet these girls have
eyes liquid with light, teeth white and
gleaming as new frost, complexions that
rival tints of the rose, and forms of
lovely symmetry.
The weeding of flax in Ireland neces
sitates great labor and care. Jhe foreign
seed used seems to engender a multipli
city of weeds. A 2tl acre field would
require about 200 days of one hand for
thorough work, or ten days per single
acre. When the flax is about six inches
high, weeding is begun, damp days be
ing chosen, so that the weeds may be
more easily extracted, and the tender
shouts of flax bruised as little us possi
ble. In Belgium the weeilcrs, with
coarse cloths around their knees, creep
along on all-fours, and among the thou
sands that may he seen in a day's journey,
not one is out of this groveling position.
JSut the Irish weeders do their work
barefooted and crouched in a half sitting
posture. A singular fact about this
work is that it is all done toward the
w ind. This is in order that the breezes
maj assist in lifting the bent or bruised
shoots again, and a curious belief pre
vails that this unavoidable treading and
breaking of the flax in its early period of
growth, has a stimulating effect upon the
crop.
The Irish steep pond is the same rude
affair that it was centuries ago. Or
dinarily a hole or excavation of from 1
to 5 feet in depth, :t to 10 yards wide,
and 10 to 15 yards long, it will be found
in some meadow swail or hillside liol
low, where it is allowed to fill with the
surface water, or where the water from
some tiny stream may be admitted; for
the water need In flax-steeping must be
soft, or at least free from lime and iroA.
Flax sheaves are laid in the Irish steep
pond butt to baud, weighed down
with sod and stone, and allowed
to remain from eight ten days. Millions
of dollars have been wasted in efforts to
steep llax artificially in vats; but nature
alone can properly attend to that. The
steep-water, invaluable for enriching
soils, but wholly wasted hero, can be
used but once. From it flic sheaves are
carted to the “spread-ground" of graz
ing or mown-mcadow land. Here the
ru-h bands are removed and dried, and
the now sticky, dirty flax, held on the
left arm, and spread from left to right,
the loaded carts following just outside
the rows. When the steeped llax is thus
drying, whole tlax regions are given the
appearance of being laid with mammoth
carpeting in gray-brown rows woven
upon a ground of emerald green. Wet
weather endangers a ruinous secondary
fermentation; but a “drying wind”
gives superb fiber. The tiax is now
“lifted;’’ with the same rush bands tied
again into “bents” or sheaves; and is
then “stooked” and “capped” precisely
as grain is “shocked” in American
fields. It is allowed to stand in tho
“stook” a few days for further “curing”
and is finally stored in the cabin loft;
stacked with wonderful precision and
symmetry; or carted direct to the roar
ing “scutch mill.”
It is an interesting place around a
scutch mill. One will find from :><)( to
400 diminutive flax-stacks with prettily
thatched roofs. The clatter and rush,
with tlie (lying sliives, remind one of
the pleasant old fashioned American
“threshing-timewhile here and there,
crowding the road, ranged between tho
stacks, or over .owing into near pad
docks, are great numbers of carts,
dragsred here by ragged donkeys or rag
gored humans, awaiting their “turn” at
the mill, or room for storing and stack
ing their loads. Tho mill removes from
the llax the roots, the branches and
withered bolfc —as the valuable seed is
all lost in Ireland- the woody heart and
the flinty outer sheath. Twenty-four
cents per stone (fourteen pounds) of
marketable fibre is paid for the milling,
which is equally divided between mill
owner and laborers. The scutcher deftly
manages to transform half of the farm
er’s crop into “waste.” For this the
farmer is paid but twenty four cents
per 112 pounds. During the rest of the
season tho scutcher works over the
“waste” into what is commercially
cal led ‘ ‘rescutched tow, ” selling the sam u
for about *IOO per ton. The fibre comes
from the “breakers” of the scutch null
in “strikes” of one and one-half pounds
weight; and these are tied with a twist
of flax into “stone” bundles; and the
Irish t ax-farmer with his little crop and
big family, all piled upon one groaning
cart, trundle otf to the market, where
after great bullying by the flax-factor, or
buyer, he may receive six shillings per
stone for his trifling product; and when
the seed, farm labor, and scutching are
paid for, fate has been mo-t kind to him
if he has enough remaining to pay his
rent and keep the emergency-men, the
battering ram and the horrible actuality
of eviction from his ever comfortless
door.— Washington Star.

The Sopy-chopy is certainly one of the
wildest,most gloomy streams that I have
ever visited. It is of great depth in pro
portion to its width and winds and
twists about in a most perplexing man
ner. A few miles above the canal the
batiks were scarcely thirty yards apart
and the trees in places actually met
overhead in an arch. Of course sails in
such a place were useless and we were
obliged to pole our way laboriously
along.
Thu stillness was intense—no sound of
bird or beast disturbed the solemn si
lence of the solitudes. Ido not think
that we saw a single living creature all
day, but slowly ascended in perfect si
lence. It was really awe inspiring, we
felt like cxplo-crs in an unknown land,
and vague memories of Ponce de I.eon
were awakened as we cleaved the dark
waters beneath the lowering arch of
trees. Cypress with hydra roots rose
from the black surface, like Dante's im
aginations of a lost race, their contorted
forms writhed like lost souls in agony.

A Coal Palace.
It has been suggested that Buffalo in
troduce a novelty among palaces, by
building one of coal. In lti-7,12% 000,Odd
tons of coal were mined in the United
States. Of this .',(100,000 tons—one
twenty-fifth—were handled in Buffalo.
Here is tlie natural market for the
greatest coal fields in the country, and
the artificial conditions all contribute to
increase its importance. The coal trade
is inseparably bound up with the history
and life of commerce by lake and canid
and traffic by rail. It, more than any
other single influence, has drawn to
Buffalo a large number of our railroads,
of which it has more miles within cor
porate limits than any other city on the
globe.
If Buffalo would build a monument to
tell the story of Her triumphs, let her
erect a splendid palace of coal. Let it
be the central and crowning feature of a
fine south side park, where it may domi
nate with its lofty towers the great coal
trestles, the railroad mazesand the ncble
lake frontage of the city Bujfulo
{N. V,) Express.
AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTFRKST DI LATIVE
TO FAIIM AND GARDEN,
fihnsi for Ojflt,
In the early duys, when the oxen were
used only on soft ground,and when even
the root* w ere soft, oxen were used gen
erally without finding much difficulty in
their feet. Hut those which traveled
long distance*, even then, had to he
shod. A footsore ox team is almost
worthless for work. The art of shoeing
oxen is almost a lost one If some black
smiths in country places would learn
how to shoe oxen there would be a*
increase in ox tennis in muuy jilnccs.— ■
American C dticatnr.
The Flavor of Firs*-
When a grent deal of chandlers'
greaves of a rank or musty quality has
been fed fowls the flavor is perceptible
not only in their flesh but In their eggs.
Also the odor of garlic and tome other
strong flavored things may he found in
the eggs after the poultry has eaten a
great dcalof such substances. Ordi
narily the flavor of the eggs is not
affected enough by a change of diet to
make any noticeable difference. W lien
hens arc fed very largely on milk the
yolk is light in color, and the white is
less filmy in texture. Tho more concen
trated and nutritious the food the richer
nml better the eggs. Also the eggs
from thrifty fowl-at the beginning of
the laying, before the fowl’s strength
has been reduced, are richer and more
capable of producing vigorous chickens
than near the ( lose of laying. The
reason why fowls fed on "slope,” etc.,
arc able to give no better eggs to their
owners is because you demand the “talc
of brick" of your servants, but you give
them no straw to make tli m with.
Curd contains all the best and mo t nu
tritious portions of the milk, without
its objectionable, watery qualities. I’.ut
the true feed for laying fowls is one-third
or one-quarter Indian corn, ground or
otherwise, and oats or wheat, together
with inilk and whatever sciaps from the
house arc obtainable, and as much green
vegetable food as they will cat; and
these, combined and fed ptopcrly, your
eggs will be of the true gold and siher
stamp—when the cook's tire has refined
them and prepared them as a relish for
your breakfast. — Nr-o Yor: 11-raid.
Art of Cattle Feeding.
Much has been said in regard to the
feeding of cattle and the various ways
of preparing food. But mischief is
done by leaving out of the question ihe
differences in the various conditions un
der which cattle are fed. in some cases
one way may be the beri that would be
the worst in others. No doubt grinding
grain is economical for t ows and for a
house reared steer which is fed for a
farmer’s domestic supply of meat. But
when a number of cuttle are fed the la
bor of feeding meal and of tying up the
fc. u.als in s ails cats up the profit, os
'y now that stock are so low in
' am feeding a number <>f beeves,
nog and mature, and I have
fo -t unhusked corn is better liked
by W. stock and is more economical
thf 4 i' il. The cattle cat more, digest
the od better, make more growth, and
are as. „ managed. Eton yearlings do
better upon this cheap food.
Tho question of open air feeding as
com with tight ami warm barns is
ar .<|Hwhich lias two side 1 . I ast year
1 hea 1 of cattle in a lot by
■ Ives through the winter on hay,
small quantity of ear corn. They
never under a roof, and have
in a wood all the summer. A
eks ago 1 brought three of this
a comfortable barn and put them
to be fattened. They all lost
m, became restless, and lost
rapidly, and after a month's
ey were turned out again. The
of the cattle and several other
tuner- must be eonstdei e.l before
order can profitably adopt new
or apply what arc commonly
scientific practices. And as re
gards the matter eL warmth, it is un-
that an animal tied in a barn
emperature of forty degrees will be
WRI "teh colder than one in tlm open
sheltered lot at twenty degrees
emperature.

Farm and Garden Notes.
Save up all the wood ashes.
Remember that the sire is half the
herd.
Fnleached ashes are the best fer
tilizer.
Don't put a frosty bit in the horse’s
mouth.
Cream needs stirring frequently, to
•nix the different skimmings and to
aerate and ripen it evenly.
Do not make a mistake in building the
poultry house too high. The windows
should face the south and east.
Care well for the feet and legs of horses
when putting them into the stable and
so prevent scratches and lameness.
The farmer who has a big straw stack
lias no excuse lor allowing lbs stock to
suffer by exposure to cold or storms.
With very little timber and plenty of
straw, rough but warm shelter may be
provided at little cost except for labor.
Grafts can be cut in tho middle of
winter, but they are not usually of as
strong vitality as if cut earlier in the
fall.
To cut down taxes stop up the cracks
in the stables. Town, County and State
taxes are not the only ones the shiftless
farmer pays.
Rather than fill your cellars with roots
and vegetables construct pits for them.
When they are in the cellar disease
lurketh there also.
Right barley boiled is c’aimed to be
excellent feed for horses, putting a tine
coat on them, though not so good for
horses at hard work.
The asparagus and rhubarb beds should
always be manured late in the fall, it is
very difficult to have the soil for Ihese
two varieties of plants too rich.
An attempt to grow seedless apples has
apparently succeeded. After much
trouble there are now two varieties of
tho coreless kind, both said to be of
good size and taste.
Flowering plants should never be
watered with cold water or it will tend
to chill the p ants. A little time taken
to warm the water before applying will
be found of considerable benefit.

then chats with Ins Colleagues. the

life. Oratory is a waste of time; lot us

His voice is not musical, and at times is
so weak i.b to make it difficult for the re
porters to follow him. He adopts a
semi conversational style, begins slowly
and monotonously, and, with the oxcep
tion of casual breaks, proceeds and ends
as lie begins. As the ohanoellor’s tongue
cannot keep pace with bis thoughts, bo
now and then hr. aks off' in tho middle

tho best they can of his half-finished
sentences. The chancellor never do
eiaitns, never fintters, nor equivocates.
His official position causes the ltoichstag
to treasure up his utteraneos, but ho
does not disdain to aid them by apt
quotations, forcible similes, and xvitty
allusions. Though lie once lectured tlio
Prussian Parliament on the uselessness
of verbosity, the chancellor usually
speaks one hour, and has exceeded even
two hours. He speaks extempore,
though the heads of his s; oeoli and the
newspaper quotations are carefully
noted on sheets of paper. Bismarck s

F.varts’ Fad.
The administration < f the grandson of
“Old Tippecanoe” is to have a pleasant
surprise. It is the inauguration of u
“log cabin and hard cider” social cam
paign by Senator Evarts. Mr. Evarts
purchased a beautiful tract of land on
the Maryland side of the Potomac, just
north of the old bastion and casematcd
granite Fort Washington, almost oppo
site Mount Vernon. and eleven miles
from tlie capital. The cabin is sixty
feet long, twenty-five feet wide and
twelve feet between the joints. It is
fashioned after the Tippecanoe campaign
order of architecture of forty odd years
ago. It is built of logs hewn in the
forest of the estate and raised and
chinked In the olden style. It has the
characteristic chimney nnd fireplace,
4x7 feet, capable of receiving
hickory logs cut on the estate to that
traditional and historic length.
The interior arrangement is suggestive
of hospitality and good cheer, the dining
room, which is 30x25 feet, being the
salient feature of the plan. A sitting
room and library and sleeping rooms oc
cupy the rest of the space. The com
modious kitchen, with great fireplace
and cranes and spits and servants’ quar
ters, occupies an adjunct to the main
structure. Overhead is a loft which will
be rendered accessible by an automatic
hoist and can be utilized as a stowaway
for any of the guests who may grow
fatigued or stumble by the way. The
interior of the cabin, unlike the primi
tive originals, will be finished in native
woods from the place, worked in oil.
The native products of the estate are
wild ducks from the cstuarys, possums
among the gum trees of the forest, coons
in the hollows and sweet potatoes and
peanuts on the uplands.
Footprints of Amphibians.
Professor Bickmore, in his lecture on
“The Period of Reptiles and Mammals,”
in the Museum of Natural History, New
York, presented on a screen illustrations
of the foot-prints of one of the amphibi
ans of the coal period. The illustration
was a drawing from tho great slab of
blue stone which belongs to the museum,
aDd was taken from tho stone quarry at
Turner’s Fall, Mass. Tho animal itself,
Mr. Bickmore explained, was one of those
which roamed in great numbers along
the Connecticut valley during the car
boniferous period. This ono had left
its footprints in the mud, and the im
pression having been subsequently filled
with sand, the east was preserved when
tho clay became hardened into stone.
From fossils of the animal, which
have been obtained in other portions of
the valley, it appears to have had an
elongated body, about fourteen feet
long, on four legs. It moved mainly on
the hind feet, the forelegs being shorter,
and lived partly in the water and partly
on the banks of the stream. At that
time and until a later period in the ago
of mammals, the lecturer showed by the
drawings of the coast survey, the coast
of Now York extended fully 100 miles
into the ocean south of its present lino.
The ocean steamers of to-day, in ap
proaching the Narrows, follow the old
channel of the Hudson River, which,
previous to the subsidence of the land,
as shown by the sea soundings, flowed
into the sea through a deep valley and
over a steep cliff of great height, aud
must have formed a magnificent cataract.
