the Serpent Mound, and is regarded
TrUentiiic men as indicating that at
le remote period the Mound-builders
serpent worshipers, a form of wor-
in the early stages of religious
va is sometimes represented with
a dragon, and holding a staff, around
which a serpent coils. In the Acropolis
at Athens a live serpent was kept who
was considered the guardian of the
place. The incarnation of deity in a
serpent was not an uncommon event in
Grecian _ mythology. Olympias, Nico-
letea and Aristodamia, the mothers of
Alexander. Aristomenes and Aratus by
some god who had changed himself into
tne form of a serpent. Janitor himself
changed himself into a dragon to reduce
xrpserpine. Every feature in the re
ligion of the hew world discovered by
Cortez and Pizarro indicates an origin
common to the superstitions of Egypt
and Asia. The same solar worship, the
same pyramidal monuments, the same
serpent worship. The temple of Vitzi-
liputzli was built of great stones in the
fashion of snakes tied together, and the
circmtwas called the circuit of snakes.
Ihe Mexicans kept live serpents as
Household gods in their private dwell-
lngs. The Peruvians worshiped the
Goddess Isis and represented her with
two serpents at her side.

of labor; but the peons are stubborn,
more stubborn than stupid, and will in
sist upon doing everything just as their
fathers did, and their great grandfathers
for that matter. It is the same spirit,
the same resistance to innovations, that
causes them to ship their coffee and
sugar upon the backs of donkeys instead
of the railroad; that requires the pay
ment for produce in coin inst ad of
checks, and causes that coin to be hid
den away under an old stump or a
crack in the roof instead of being de
posited in a bank to draw interest and
increase the circulating medium.
The workingmen, the mechanics,
know nothing of labor-saving machin
ery. All the timber and woodwork for
house-building is dressed by hand.
There is not such a thing as a planing-
mill or a sash factory in the whole coun
try, and all the furniture and cabinet
work is made the same way. You will
always find locks placed upon the door-
casings and the socket for the bolt
screwed upon the door, and the locks
are invariably upside down. When you
call attention to it you are told that it
is the custom of the country. When a
house is being erected, whether it is
one story or two, the solid walls are
first laised to their full height, and
then holes are chiseled out to admit the
ends of the rafters and timbers for the
floors. It never occurs to the builder
that an easier way would be to set the
timbers in the walls as he lays the
bricks.—[Chicago News,

“What is the hottest weather ever
known in the United States { _ a he
question is answered in the bulletin of
the Kentucky Statistical Weather Ser
vice The h ghest temperature record
ed by the United States Signal Service
was at Phoenix and Fort McDowell,
Ariz., in June, 1883. The thermometer
marked 119 degrees. However, unoffi
cial observers report temperature as
high as 128 degrees and 122 degrees at
Mammoth Tank and Humboldt, Cal.
The coldest weather recorded by the
service was 69 degrees below zero at
Poplar Biver, Mon. But this is a warm
place compared with Werchojansk, Si
beria, the coldest inhabited spot on the
face of the globe. The thermometer
there has been as low as 90 degrees be
low zero. In view of these figures let
us not complain of a paltry 90 degrees
above zero.—[Louisville Post.
A Cure for Hydrophobia.
Mr. Charley Beynolds tells us that he
knows of two men who were bitten by
mad dogs in this county, and that they
both recovered. The treatment was to
eive them a strong tea, made of sweet
milk and green jentian. The tea is to
be drank freely for nine days after the
bite One of the men alluded to above
was Mr. Giles Jennings, who died a few
years ago at the advanced age of seventy.
He was bit when a young boy.—Athens
(Ga.) Chronicle.
Deadly Arrow Edison.
Most of the arrow poisons of Africa
hitherto^ known have been of vegetable
origin, indeed, all the famous poisons
are of this nature. Mr. H. M. Stanley
has added one poison to the list which
does not appear to be a product of the
vegetable kingdom. In the Lower Con
go district Mr. Stanley’s force was as
sailed by a tribe of dwarfs, who used
poisoned arrows. Five members of the
expedition were hit by these arrows,
four (black men) dying very shortly
after, their sufferings having been in
tense. The fifth man, Lieutenant Stairs,
had a narrow escape. The poison of
the arrow which hit him had been dry,
aud so he did not experience the full
toxicity of the barb. It was afterward
found that the poison is manufactured
from the dried bodies of red ants, or
pismires, ground into powder, cooked
in palm oil and smeared over the
wooden points of the arrows. What is
the nature of the poison which causes
death ?
The Lancet says it is formic acid,
which exists in the free state in red
ants, and is in the pure state so cor
rosive, that it produces blisters on tlia
skin. Hence there is little ground, says
our contemporary, for doubting that it
was the “deadly irritant by which so
many men had been lost with such ter
rible suffering.” The multitude of
curious insects encountered, which ren
dered their lives “as miserable as they
could well be,” bears out Mr. Stanley’s
idea, that many similar poisons could
be prepared from insects. It certainly
j is strange that, with the exception of
' cantharides, and perhaps of blatta ori-
entalis, the insect world is so little used
for active therapeutics. Not forgetting
the fact that homoeopaths have long had
that respect for the insect kingdom
which the Lancet desires, we may men
tion that ptomaines as a source of
toxicity are more likely than formic
acid to have produced the paralytic
symptoms which were exhibited by the
dying men.—[New England Druggist,
The Corean Embassy Enjoys Itself.
The Coreans certainly appear to en
joy life in Washington to the full, and
they seem determined to “catch on”
with all the latest fads and amusements
of the day. At a handsome billiard
table in their commodious mansion in
Iowa Circle they hugely enjoy their
initiation into the recondite mysteries
of the “carom,” while on hot summer
evenings recently they were seen strol
ling in the garden, nay, even sitting on
the front door-steps in approved Wash
ington style, and taking a kindly inter
est in the various babies of the neigh
borhood whose mammas and nurses
passed with them along the sidewalk.
The Coreans, moreover, appear to have
become passionately fond *of the intri
cate and mysterious game of croquet,
for they have had an adjoining vacant
lot fenced in, which makes an excellent
crequet ground. Here the gentlemen
of the legation, with their wives, used
to play during the early summer with
great enjoyment; and even upon occa
sion, would greet a lucky hit with hearty
laughter and loud cries of “ L e-t h-e-r

OLD-FASHIOSTED CAKE.
In answer to the lady who asked for
recipes for “Old-fashioned Cake” made
without baking powder or drugs of any
kind, I would say, writes the household
editor of the New York Observe)', that I
never use anything of the kind, never
fail with my cakes which I make as my
mother did before me. For pound cake
I take three-quarters of a pound best but
ter, work till soft with a broad-bladed
knife, then add three-quarters of a pound
of granulated sugar, beat to a cream seven
eggs, beat separately, add the yolks to
the butter and sugar, then the whites,
then stir in gradually three-quarters of a
pound of sifted flour, flavor with a tea
spoonful of essence of vanilla, beat all to
gether one way for twenty or twenty-five
minutes. Bake in a well buttered Turk’s
head in a moderate oven one hour, test
with a straw. A half-pound of currents,
well washed and dried, will make a fine
currant cake, and will keep for a week or
two in stone covered pot. If this is liked

Two of “ Old Hickory’s ” Slaves.
Two of General Jackson’s old slaves
are still living at the Hermitage. One
is “old Alfred j’’ who lias convinced
himself, and would like to convince all
who visit the place, that he was the
body servant of liis master. The truth
of history comp els the statement that
this is a figment of his imagination.
Hannah’s claims are, however, beyond
all doubt or controveisy. They rest on
the solid foundation of fact. She was a
trusted, confidential household servant
long before General Jackson be ame
President, and it was in her arms that
Mrs. Jackson died in 1828. Her age is
at least ninety-five. When James Par-
ton visited the Hermitage, about 1860,
he was struck by the great number of
vigorous old people whom lie met, and
this sentence occurs in his “Life of
Jackson” : “ Old Hannah, for example,
whose care of the children at the Her
mitage Jackson extols, is now sixty-
seven years of age, and she appeals to
be still in the very prime of her vigor.
She strode about the Hermitage with us
on a chilly, wet day in February, bare
headed, with a spr ng in her step that
belongs to thirty-five. When lntormed
of her age I stared incredulous. ^. liae '
and-twenty anniversaries of that chilly,
wet morning in February have come
and gone and Hannah, says Mrs. Dorris,
“is so well preserved to-day as to lead
to doubts as to her age, and is as bright,
animated and spry as a woman of forty,
and much, more so than many of that
age.” . _
“I’se a sassy nigger, I is, and. I be
longed to a sassy white man,” is the
way she puts it. To observe her drop
one of her old-fashioned curtsies is
worth going miles to see.
“ How old are you, Aunt Hannah ?

don’t believe it, jes you go up here and

Sons Are Good Collateral in China,
In China one can always borrow money
on the strength of having a son, but
nobody would advance him a cent if he
had a dozen daughters. The former is
responsible for the debt of bis father for
three generations. The latter is only
responsible for the debt of her own

HOW TO ROAST MEATS.
Good beef should have a bright red
color not too dark, dry and tender to the
touch, fat, and with a smooth, open
grain.
In roasting meats one of the principal
points is to have it as juicy as possible.
Wash the meat in cold water, wipe
dry, singe with a hot iron, then place in
a dripping pan; cover ihe top with a
layer of suet one-half inch thick; add
drippings to the pan until one inch deep;
the pan should be at least four inches
deep; place in a hot oven and slightly in
crease the heat until done; allow thirty
minutes for first pound aud fifteen min
utes for each additional pound. When
done remove to a hot plate. Add one cup
of hot water to the pan, after draining
off the drippings let boil two or three
minutes; then thicken with one table
spoonful of butter, mixed with flour:
add white pepper and salt to taste. Mush
rooms, oysters, chopped pickles or any
flavor can be added to this gravy. Another
way is to wash, place in pan, add one
cup of hot water and place at once in a
hot oven, turn over until nicely browned
on all sides; remove to a hot platter, pour
the drippings off, add one cup of sweet
milk, let boil one minute, thicken with
one teaspoonful of flour and one of but
ter, let boil one or two minutes and then
add salt, white pepper and cinnamon. It
is then ready to serve. A French way of
roasting beef is to take a sirloin roast,
mix salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves
together, then, with a narrow bladed
on all sides of the meat; put a little of
the spice in. each with a small slice of gar
lic, and then roast as directed above.—

pudding tlisir- aud bake about forty
minutes.
Bice Griddle Cakes—Boil half a cup of
rice; when cold, mix one quart of sweet
milk, the yolks of four eggs, and flour
sufficient to make a stiff batter; beat the
whites to a froth, stir in one teaspoonful
of soda and two of cream of tartar, add
a little salt, and, lastly, the whites of the
eggs; bake on a griddle. Serve by
spreading them while hot with butter,
and also any kind of jelly or preserves;
roll them up neatly, cut off the ends,
sprinkle with sugar and serve quickly.
Creamed Halibut—A pint bowl of cold
boiled halibut picked fine and freed from
bones and skin. Melt in a saucepan one
tablespoonful of butter, and when it boils
add a tablespoonful of flour. Stir smooth
and add slowly a cup of boiling water, a
cup of milk and a teaspoonful of salt,
with a saltspoonful of pepper. Butter a
pudding dish and put a layer of halibut
and one of sauce till all is used. Cover
the top thickly with bread crumbs, dot
with bits of butter and bake till brown in
a quick oven.
Saddle of Mutton—Procure a saddle of
a young and not too fat mutton, roast in
medium hot oven so to be a little rare and
all the fat cooked thoroughly; make a
gravy from drippings in pan, skim off all
fat, strain and serve with the mutton.
Cut a few young turnips in regular-sized
pieces, boil in salt water till done, then
drain the water, sprinkle over one spoon
ful of sugar about one-half pint of stock
and one spoonful of condensed beef; let
boil till stock evaporates and then glace
the turnips; dish up with the mutton and
serve.
Cream Mayonnaise Sauce—rThe yolk of
one large egg, two tablespoonfuls of
cream. Blend these smoothly together
till they are quite thick; then season with
salt, cayenne, and white pepper, very lit-
rie of the latter; work in a teaspoonful of
shallot or lemon vinegar, and a table
spoonful of vinegar. The sauce should
be quite thick, so as to shroud the whole
of the sea-kale when piled up on the
liah, N. B.—Lemon juice may be sub
stituted for the vinegar, but it is always
best to have equal parts vinegar and
lemon juice.
