A young mu in the Sraithaooian In*
rtitut*, write* Din Washington wnw
jioodeni of the Cleveland trader, haa
made public IhlJutwntrnf the method
employed in making tbe atone and tol
came arrow-head*. dagger*, knives, axes
and ruun of the pro-historic race. Up
to this time this has been a groat prob
lem to all antiquarian students, but no
theory haa been advanced showing so
practical results as Mr. Cushing's. Ho
started to solve tho difficulty by placing
himself in tho identical position of tho
Aztecs or mound builders, without any
thing to work with except sticks, vari
ous-shaped stones, such as ho could find
on the banks of any stream, and his
hands. After making some rude instru
ments by chipping one flint with an
other, he discovered that no amount of
chipping would produce surfaces like
those he was trying to imitate. He then
came to tho conclusion that there was
another way of doing it, and by chance
trust pressure with the point of a stick,
instead of chipping with the blows of a
stone, when ho found ho could break
flint, stone and obsidian in any shape he
choose. Soon after he made spear Leads
and daggers that would cut liko a razor,
as good os any ho had before him which
he picked up from all over tho world.
Bea little more observation ho found
that the “flaking," which he calls his
process, on tho old arrow head left
grooves which all turned one wny. Ho
produced a liko result by turning his
stick tho easiest way from right to left,
ne therefore concludes that pre-historio
men Wi re right-handed people just like
ourselves. This conclusion is reinforced
by the fact that t ceasionally an arrow
head is found which has the flakes run
ning from left to right, showing a left
handed person. Tho importance of tho
discovery is that it shows that tho eariy
races were able to do this work without
the use of iron or bronze, a thing long
doubted.
WEBSTER'S CASE.
“1 will rejieat an anecdote which i
feel sure that Webster gave at that din
ner, though, as I made no noto of it, it
is just possible that he told, it in my
presence at some later date. The con
versation was running upon the import
ance of doing small things thoroughly
snd with tho full moasuro of one’s abili
ty. This Welister illustrated by ail ac
count of Rome petty insurance case that
was brought to him when a young law
yer in Portsmouth. Only a small
amount was involved, and a S2O fee was
all that was promised. Ho saw that, to
do his clients full justice, a journey to
Boston, to consult tho law library,
would Vie desirablo. He would be out
of pocket by such an expedition, and
for his time lio would receive no ade
quate compensation. After a little hesi
tation, lie determined to do his very
best, oost what it might. He accord
ingly went to Boston, looked up tho au
thorities, and gained the easo. Years
after this, Webster, then famous, was
passing through New York. An im
]s>rtant insurance case was to bo tried
the day after his arrival, and one of tho
counsel had been suddenly taken ill.
Money was no object, and-Welwter was
begged to name his terms and conduct
the case. *1 told them,’ aaid Mr. Web
ster, • that it was preposterous to expect
ms to prepare a legal argument at a few
hours* notice. They insisted, however,
that I should look at the papers ; and
this, after some demur, I consented to
do. Well, it was my old S2O caso over
again, and, os I never forgot anything,
1 had all tho authorities at my lingers'
ends. The court know that I had no
time to prepare, and were astonished at
tho range of my acquirements. So, you
see, I was handsomely paid both in fame
and money for that journey t-o Boston ;
and the moral is that good work is re
warded In the end, though, to be sure,
one's own self-approval should be
enough,”— < Quincy's Anecdotes.
WOMEN IN I’ERU.
The Peruvian ladies do not work—
they consider labor disgraceful. Yet
they are generally occupied. They riao
parly, take a cup of tea and go to mass.
Their walking suits are neat and pretty;
in this respect they surpass us. The
dress is blaok and nover touches the
ground; there is no fussing or fumbling
with trains. A white skirt ia sometimes
seen a little below the dress, with a deep
hem and two tucks, and always white
and clean. Prunella gaiters ars gener
ally worn; the hands are bare; the
manta is thrown over the head, falling
gracefully down almost to the bottom of
the skirt, and gives them a charming ap
pearance, for it may oonoeal many' de
fects of a face that is not handsome,
and it sets off to advantage the charm.
of a beautiful face. A lady never goes
out alone in Lima; two or three go to
gether, and a black woman servant walks
behind. Young girls are oarefully es
corted by their friends wherever they
go, and are never permitted to see per
sons of the oppaeite sea alone. All the

so effectually is this done that the ladies
all marry and none ere divorced. The

time and attention, their bell dresses
and opera and soiree suits are magnifi

feet as .the Peruvian. The ladies ere

music or books. They love to smoke.
Although handsome when young, they

and that is their gait Their move

same is true of the men. On the street

The fluffy angel is not an uncommon
thing on this earth, where any other
•rt of an angel ia very ran indeed.
The fluffy angel is the perfectly sweet
but insensibly-soft young thing we have
seen somewhere; in fact, we see him
almost everywhere, IJa is just too nice
for anything all through the earlier so
rial life of the av. rage young girl. H
wears such lovely gloves ; his mustache
is jiist awfully cute, and his neckties sre
perfectly killing. He understands the
latest and positively the must fascinating
dances ; his clothes are alwav* just ox
q iisite, always up to tlie latest tun f
fashion, and frequently a few days
ahead. He always knows where trie aw
ftilly-delioioUH ice-cream is to lie hail;
lie always seems to liave money to buy
it with, and never seems to have any
thing to do but to be a fluffy angel.
All this is very nice to the young girl
who hasn’t la-gun to get an idea of life
beyond a dish of ice-cream and a waltz.
In her day dreama and in her night
dreams she is so mixed up in this sort of
thing that you would supirose it impos
sible that she should over extricate her
self. She has no care about it herself,
and no thought concerning whether she
will do it or not. She enjoys hono-lf this
way better with a fluffy angel than she
would with any other kind of a known
being, and when a young girl gets her
mind upon her enjoyments she has got
it fully occupied. —Philadelphia Timet.

Onon— A Maine writer fa the
American Cultivator says; “My
ground was broken np in the spring and
planted to potatoes. Immediately after
digging them fa the fall I cleaned up
tbe rubbish of every kind, then applied
very evenly to the soil a fair coat of
dressing, composed of scrapings of the
barn-yard. Next I cultivated the ground
three or four times quite deeply, the
dressing working in readily. I then
harrowed it down smoothly snd allowed
it to remain ten weeks to allow the
weeds an opportunity to start. Next, I
cultivated for the purpose of killing the
weeds, Bnally harrowing the gronno as
smoothly as possible and let it rest until
spring. As soon in the spring ss the
ground was fit. I worked the tol with a
horse-harrow and a hand-rake until I se
cured a seed-lied about two inches in
depth, fine, soft and completely mixed
reaily for the seed. After my onions
came up I spread on the salt and ashes.
After tho first weeding I applied another
coat of ashes. A liberal use of ashes I
consider a great benefit to this crop.
At my first weeding I brushed the dirt
from the onions. The second weeding
finished, I sowed on a fertilizer com
posed of plaster, salt, ashes, lime and
guano. All the small weeds should be
destroyed as fast as they make their ap
liearance; the large ones will not
trouble the grower. By the above-de
scribed method I raised cm one-fourth of
an acre of land 200 bushels of the larg
est and finest onions I ever saw, many of
them weighing a pound and a quarter
each, and with but very few scullions.
On tbs same area of old ground, by
similar methods, I raised 221 bushels of
onions, very fine-looking one.

Nearly everybody, fa all walks o* life,
haa had what 1m would cad narrow es
capes, but we doubt if the most remark
aide of them can oomparw with tbe fol
lowing actual occurrence, as related by
an old locomotive engineer. The train
was near Yorxville, heading for New
Haven, snd was composed of sight pas
senger cars filled with passengers. The
train was going at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour.
A fog was prevailing, so that the en
gineer could nit see the switching sig
nal ; but the fog was lifted from the
ground, so that he could see the track
quite a little distance ahead—say 180 or
200 feet. He kept his eye en the rails,
and directly hi> heart gave a thtir.p, for,
to his gnat rensternation, he saw the
end of the rails. Then he knew that the
switch was misplaced, and believed a
smash-op inevitable, though he did no
for an instant lose bis presence of mind.
He iustaltly applied the steam brake
and reversal tho engine. For a fireman
he had a joung man who has since be
come bis ion-in-law, but he did not tell
him of th impending peril. Indeed, he
had not much time. He kept his eye'on
the end <f ri * rail as the train, fa spite
chfeGr.v -uing on to destruction.
From whfet he stood he could see the
rails up to' within seventeen feet of the
loeo-aotivej He saw that the switch was
still misplaced when his vision at seven
teen feet away was cut off, and he braced
himself for tho shock. Ho says his
thoughts at this awful moment were not
for himself, hut for tho passengers—soo
in number—men, women, and children.
He Beomed to livo an age in the few
brief seconds which had elapsed from
tlie time he discovered the misplaced
switch. There were rocks on either
side of tho track, and, as he expressed
it, the splinters were bound to fly. But
the anticipated crash nover came. The
dread seventeen feet, with five times
seventeen added, had been left behind
before the engineer could believe his
senses, and feel that the danger was
past. With a feeling of relief, he could
again see the continuous lines of rails,
and he knew liis train was safe. Just in
tho nick of time, with not a quarter of a
second to spare, the switchman had
placed the switch. When we consider
that a single revolution of the driving
wheel to the locomotive propels the
train more than fifteen feet, and the
switch was righted inside of one revolu
tion of the wheel when the train was
going at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour, we think all will it was a
narrow escape.— Hartford Times.
