Key West, Fla.
Tho following extract is taken from a
private letter received from the above city:
“Wo are having a gentle gale to day (if
such a thing can be) and I am sitting in
the window to watch the ocean. I havo
seen it in all its changes. ’Tis the only oc
cupation I have now—watching tho sea—
and, until I eatno here, that old song—one
of papa’s favorites—‘When twilight dews
are falling fast, etc.,’ had no meaning in it.
Tho ‘rosy sea’ was something I could not
imagine; but now, I can appreciate the
poetry, for ofteu the ocean is just like a
rose leaf —lovely in color and so quiet—
quite a contrast to to-day. You know we
used so to long to see the Southern Cross,
and imagined it was never seen north of
the equator. Did I ever tell you that we
could see it here, for three months in the
year ?—very low down, however. Last
night we wentto see the game of chess play
ed with living characters! It was very
beautiful. The company was drilled first,
then placed on the siege, on a chess-board
the blocks of which, were a yard square.
The kings, qeens, pages and pawns dress
splendidly. The players sat, each nt a ta
ble, end as they moved a piece it was call
ed out ami Lieut. Whistler moved the la
dies, knights, etc., on the stage. The
pawns were lovely, in white, with long
spears ami silver shields. Our friend Mig
uel Tim co won the game. Afterwards the
children of San Carlos came ou tho si;tge
and pe formed two chess problems; the
children moving with each check without
any f.-sisi.nco. Tbe commands were giv
en in Spanish and repealed in Euglsli; and
it was wonderful Cos bee how readily these
little ones obeyed them; none of them over
leu years old. Tbe pretty lirile roots
with battle axes as large as they were, the
tiny, lovely qtieeus —nil indeed presenting
a. epei t.;cle as enchauting ns rare. When
we first came, before we knew enough
Spanish to aslc for what wej wished, a 'ludi
crous little thing happened. I needed some
all;,pice, and W. went into a store end
asked for it. Clerk could not understand,
and called the other men, supposed to un
de■.■stand English. W. repeated the name;
man shook his head and replied, lo no se
que dice, (I don’t know what yon say).
W. told hinr again, pointing to a jar of
cloves said, “like that, spite, allspice.”
“Oh! Si, Si.” Then pointing to a large
paper on the counter, the clerk opened
jar after jar, and put on the paper, peper,
spice, cloves, mace, bay leaves, dried mint,
seeds of all kinds, and handed the bundle
over with a smile, saying “allspice” so it
was! and we Lave plenty to spice us in our
lives. ”
A Fortunate Bullet.
The Edinburgh Scotsman's Durban let
ter tells this exciting little story of the, Zulu
warfare to show how many lives were saved
by one bullet: In tbo middle of the fight
r I ltoke’s Drif, when i be Zulus fired the iios
pital, a rash was made by a band of the
enemy to fire the storehouse, the other
bifiding v hich outlasted defense. As fast
ps these Zulus came on with firebrands
they were shot down, but one managed to
escape the fire, and got close to the wall of
(he storehouse. The defenders with their
rilles through the loop holes, could not
slope their weapons to kill him, and it
seemed as if his purpose of firing the
thatch on the roof of the house would suc
ceed. Fortunately, a young oorporal of
the Army Service Corps named Atwood be
thought himself of a plan to rid the camp
of the Zulu. As luck would have it, there
was a small square hole in the wall which
had been used as a window, and the Zulu
happened to get belowthis. Atwood with
his carbine made his way to this hole and
pushing out his weapon, let it bang point
ing to the ground. It was impossible to
hike aim in tbe position, so he trusted to
fide. The Zulu had by this time stuck a
firebrand on the end of his assegai and
was in the act of rushing up to set fire to
tbe tliatch when Atwood, not seeing the
Zulu at nil, but knowing bis position liv
ed tbe carbine with his iburnt). The shot
prob,ally, in fact, saved Natal from an in
vasion of Zulus. The Zulu at daylight was
found at the spot with his skull smashed
in and the assegai, with the firebrand stuck
on the end of it, held tightly in his dead
hand.
A Hard Worker— The hardest working
man in the State, says the New Haven Pal
ladium, lives in Norwalk. By birth he is
a Swede, and by occupation an iron-mold
er. He is occupied in a Norwalk foundry,
and every day does what is considered a
fair day’s work for two men. Commencing
work at four o’ clock in the morning, he
keeps busy until after seven at night, not
even stopping for bis meals. When be
goes to his work in the morning he carries
with him a pail containing soup and black
broad. This pail he places on e shelf over
his bench, and when hungry he grasps the
pail in his teeth, and throwing his bead
back, drinks the soup. While he 's drink
ing his fingers arc- busy packing the send
into the mould, and when he slops for a
bite of black bread it is but for an instant.
His day’s work is always 200 molds, while
120 molds are considered a good day’s
work for a first-class workman. This man
seems to have no interest in any thing but
bis work, makes no unnecessary acquaint
ances, and discourages all of bis compan
ions who show a willingness to associate
with him. He is evidently trying to de
stroy the remembrance of some calamity
which has befallen him, or works incessant
ly to gain money to accomplish some cher
ished design.
The popular Science Monthly has been
investigating our ice and finds much of it
filled with typhoid fever germs. Large
quantities of ice are taken from stagnant
ponds and from streams that are either the
natural or artificial recipients of surface
drainage and the outpourings of sewers.
Such ice, though clear and transparent, is
dangerous not only in itself but all milk,
butter, fruits and vegetables which come
in close proximity with it are similarly
infected.

Healthy Women.
A writer, in urging tho necessity for
more attention to physical culture notes as
a favorable sign the fact, that “the pale and
interesting” type of female peauty is fast
losing its popularity' and that men of posi
tion and influence are declaring for the
healthy standard of womanly beauty such
as was ever recognized by Greece and Rome.
This iH certainly an important and happy
change in public taste and already the ef
fects of it are to bo detected in an improv
ed condition of feminine health; for it will
hardly be denied that on an average the
women of to-day are physically superior to
what they were a few years ago wlmn tight
lacing and similar destroying customs pre
vailed. Young women take more exercise
than they formerly did. They ride and
walk more, and are more in the open air.
They havo not the insane dread of the sun’s
rays which they once had. But there is
much room for improvement yet. Many
homes are still presided over by invalid
wives Hnd mothers who furnish a constant
spectacle of sadness and misery to their
families and friends, and are a subject of
unlimited expense to their husbands. In
such homes the greatest of all blessings
that could be hoped for would bo the
health of the mistress restored; but too oft
en it is t lie one blessing which never comes.
American homes more than any other per
haps in the world, have been sadened by
sicl.ly women. If this shall bo so no lon
ger, it will be a great blessing to the nation.
And the remedy is simple. American
men are as strong and healthy as those of
other nations; there is no good reason
why American women should not bo. All
that is needed is a proper attention to dress
and exercise their bodies, and the race of
American women will not become extinct,
as it once threatened to do. On the con
trary, it will be improved, built up and
beautified, and a time will shortly come
when a healthy man will not have to hunt
a whole coun try over to find a healthy wife.
\Ve are on the right track now; all that is
needed is to go ahead, and the results will
soon-be manifest. Women will die to be
in (he fashion; therefore let the fashion for
lorn ale beauty be vigor and strength and
all the ladies in the land will be swinging
dumb bells, practicing archery, riding on
horseback, and walking as for a wager,
but they will be in style.
Kindness to Animals —The Lieutenant
Governor of Michigan writes concerning
the treatment of fractious animals, embody
ing the following excollent ideas: I pur
pose to give your readers the benefit of a
discovery that I made long since, that is
not patented, is free to all, cost nothing;
saves time, annoyance, irritation, rage,
profanity; a weak and futile effort to sub
due by brute force; intense perspiration
mingled with extreme madness, and final
ly failure, mortification end surrender. It
is a matter that I tested thoroughly in
practice and have I learned thatanimals
that are treated kindly are not apt to he
vicious or ugly. Treat them kindly always
young or old; let them know that you will
not hurt them, and more—teach them that
you are their best friend. It is very easy,
and also a pleasant thing to do, and if you
do it the chances are that your cows will
be kind and gentle, your steers and oxen
and your colts and horses will bo so also.
If it is found that any animals cannot he
made useful by kind treatment it is best
to get rid of them. Treated kindly from
the start, they yield to it easily. Prof.
Miles, when going around with me to see
my sheep said : “What is the matter with
your sheep? They do not run when they
see you?” I could only say in reply that
they knew me, and had come to regard mo
ns tbeiv best friend. I should feel that
something was wrong with me if my do
mestic ninmals did not welcome mo and
appear pleased at my approach.
Snn-KiNci—The habit of shirking ir a
great evil in our land. Sad and bitter are
experience of multitudes who have lost
positions of emolument and trust by shirk
ing duties and responsibilities devolving
upon them. They saw their mistake after
it was too laf e. Itsja bad sign.to see a young
man contracting tho habit of shirking.
You may set it down at once that sooner or
later he will be a drone in the great hive of
human industry, living without an5 r pur
pose in life and scorned by all who have
willing hands, and follow up whatever they
can find to do. Young men, if yon want
to gain the confidence and esteem of your
employer, never shirk from duty. If over
tasked lay in your oaniplaints, and you will
always get a hearing. If von begin life a
shirk, you may set it down as a fixed fact
that the habit will follow you tlirogh life,
and in stead of a “success you will be an
utter failure.”
“It's very singular, infernal singular,”
mused Dr. Bloggers the other day. ‘ ‘What’s
singular?” ashed another cemetery enlarg
ed. “Why, you know old Mrs. Skimson?
Well, forty-five years ago she ran a needle
into her foot, and—” “Exactly, and to-day,”
put in the other, “ it came ont of her elbow,
I suppose.” “No, it didn’t. It came out
of the back of ber grandson’s head—that is
what beats me.”
The sinful Omaba Herald says that a
womaD from Lincoln, Nebraska, was alarm
ed the other evening od finding that a man
was following her through the streets, and
appealed to an officer for protection. The
follower was arrested when he came up, hue
accounted for his suspicious conduct by
showing that ho had simply been following
the woman’s track in the mud to keep his
feet dry.
“Have you any objects of interest in the
vicinity?” the tourist asked the Burlington
mr.n. “I have, lhnvo,” replied the other,
“but I can’t get at it to show it to you. It’s
a 90-days note, and it is down in the bank
now, drawing interest likq a horse-race or a
mustard plaster.”
A Chinese maxim says: “We require
four good things of women; that virtue
dwell in her heart - that modesty play on
her brow —that sweetness flow from her
lips—that industry occupy her hand.”
A young lady, the other evening, kissed,
in the dark, a young man whom she mis
took for her lover. Discovering the mis
take, she said, “It's not ho but it’s nice.”
