Over on the west side of Baffin's Bay
the Eskimos have in winter a house in
every village set aside for feasts and
dances. It is dome-3haped and about
twenty feet in diameter by fifteen high.

‘GVhat’s a dibble?” asked both of the
younger, at once.
The elder man smiled and looked at
Tauibs, Younkir.i «c ho “ L Ubhlo, my
is an instrument for the planting
0 f corD . with it in oue hapd you punch
a hole in the sod that has been turned
over, and then, with the other hand, vou
drop in three or four grains of corn from
thc^corn-dropper, he ^ cover it with your
and there you atc,-planted.”
“Why, I supposed we were going to
plant corn with a hoc; aud we’ve got the
hoes, too!” cried Oscar.
“No, my son,” said his father; “if we
were to plant corn with a hoe, we
shouldn’t get through planting befoie
ncx t fall, I am afraid. After dinner, we
will make some dibbles for you, boys, for
you must begin to drop corn to-momw.
What plowing we have done to-dav, you
can easily catch up with when yon 'be begin,
And the three of you can all on the
furrow at once, if that seems wortl:
while.”
r pi ie boys very soon imdeis'oud fullv'
what a dibble was, aud what, a coru
dropper was, strange though those imple
ments were to them at first. Before the
end of planting-time, they fervently
wished they had never seen either of
these instruments of the corn-planter,
With the aid of a few rude tools, there
was fashioned a staff from the tough
hickory that grew near at hand, the
lower part of the stick being thick anj.
pointed at thc end. The staff was about
as high as would come up to a boy’s
shoulder, so that as h® grasped it near
the upper end, his arm being bent, the
lower end was oa the ground. Thc
upper end was whittled so as to make a
convenient handle for the user. The
leaver cud was shaped carefully into
something like the convex sides of two
spoons put together by their bowls, aud
the lower edge of this- part w\%s shaved
down to a sharpness that was increased
bv slightly scorching it in the fire. J list
above tbe thickest part of the dibble,m
hole was bored at right angles through
the wood, and into this a peg was driven
S o that several inches stuck out on both
sides of the instrument. This com
pleted the dibble.
“So that is a dibble, is it ?” said Oscar,
when the first one was shown him. “A
dibble, Now let’s see how you use it.”
Thereupon his Uncle Aleck stood up,
grasped the staff by the upper end,
pressed his foot on the peg at the lower
end of the tool and so forced the sharp
point of the dibble downward into the
earth. Then, drawing it'out, a convex
slit was shown in the elastic turf. Shak
ing an imaginary grain of corn into the
hole, he closed it with a stamp of thc
heel, stepped forward and repeated the
motion a few times, and then said;
“That’s how they plant corn on the sod
in Kansas.”— St- Nicholas.
•Finland's Ice-Breaker.
Finns have to battle with the hardness
of Arctic winter from November until
May, and the ice during this dark period
blocks all trade with foreign countries.
To remedy this the Finnish Government
had an ice-breaker specially constructed
strong enough to force the severest of
ice, and, although it cost upwards of
$250,000, the Finns do not regret thc
money, liecently'the new boat Murtaja
had to show what she was gcod for, and
hail to force an opening into Helsingfors
through almost nine or tea inches of
solid ice. She performed her duty well,
working her way slowly along. She is
uot much more thau a hundred feet in
length, but has engines of 1300-horse
power, and her plate is as thick as it is
possible a bestow on her .—London

MACARONI.
A DESCRIPTION OF A PECULIAR
INDUSTRY.
The Italian National Dish Fast Be¬
coming a Favorite In This Coun¬
try—How the Food is Mad©
and How It is Served.
Macaroni is no longer a distinctly Itftl
ian article of food; it is fast becoming a
favorite dish with native Americans, and
‘macaroni a lTtaheane” is often-ou the
bills of fare at the leading hotels.
Although macaroni is imported from
Italy to a certain extent, most of that
which is consumed in Boston and New
England, is manufactured in this city,
There are but two firms in Boston en
gaged in the manufacture* and the pro
prietors and their employes are all Ital
lans. One of the concerns was started
about ten or twelve years ago and it pn>
duced the first macaroni made in New
England, the parapaernalia necessary for
its manufacture being brought from the
sunny peninsula. 1 hese Italians made it
by hand then and they make it by hand
now, although the second firm, which
commenced business about two years ago,
employs steam power in running the
mad. liner j 7 .
Whec the workman is going to make
macaroni bj hand; he puts half a barrel
of flour into the big dough trough, pours
in a sufficient quantity of tepid water,
and with his hands and a big spoon
works the mass into a thick paste, i his
requires twenty minuter of hard labor,
The mass of dough is then transferred to
the triangular kneading board, which
has high sides to keep the dough from
falling off, and is briskly chopped for
thirty or forty minutes with the great
loug*handled wooden knife suspended
above the board.
Every few minutes the dough gets flat
tened down hard on the kneading board
and then the workman takes a huge
carving knife, slices it into large strips,
piles it up and then begins kneading
agaiu. When the dough becomes very
stiff, and looks about as hard and un
palatable as India rubber, it is fed, thirty
pounds — at a - time, —-j into the large iron “““
cylinder. Ihcn the great iron wheel
overhead is set a-going, and the Italians
work the lever and grind out the mac
aroni. Pans containing burning char
coal are placed around the cylinder so as
to maintain a warm temperature, thus
keeping the dough moist inside and
facilitating the work of pressure.
As the wheel goes round the endless
screw drives the upper disc down into
the cylinder and against the mass of
dough. The cylinder is so tight that the
dough cannot squeeze out at the top, so
it is pressed through the holes that pepper
the copper disc in the lower end of the
cylinder. Each hole in the disc has in
its centre a small wire pin, and as the
dough comes out these pins make through
the length of each ‘ string” a small,round
hole. • .
The dough is in such a moist condition
that it does not easily break as it comes
out through the holes. A workman
stands by and cuts it off in lengths of
two feet and quickly hangs it upon thin,
cylindrical sticks. This gives each piece
a little cuvok at one end. ihe damp
macaroni is then carried to an upper loft
where it is dried. The windows are
closed to keep out the moist atmosphere
and the room is kept very warm. It
takes from five to eight or nine days for
it to dry. It must be perfectly dry be¬
fore being put into boxes, otherwise it
would sour.
When dry, the macaroni is packed in
twenty-five-pound boxes lined with tissue
paper, and sold to grocers. It brings
|l.25 a box, whereas the imported
macaroni brings from $1.50 to $2.00 a
box at wholesale. The broken pieces
are packed in separate boxes, and sell at
about 3^ cents a pound at wholesale.
Two men can turn about two barrels
of flour a day into macaroni. There are
from twenty to thirty kinds of macaroni
(that is,that number of different shapes),
but this place only mafces eight or ten.
When not in use the discs are kept in
a pail of water in order that their ac¬
cumulated dough may not harden. The
workman said the best quality of flour is
used, and that it would be impossible to
make macaroni from an inferior quality.
Macaroni can be served in an almost
innumerable number of ways. Ameri¬
cans break it into small pieces and use it
r great deal in soups; but the most
popular way is to simply boil it and serve
with a white sauce and grated cheese.
Italians do not break it, but gradually
push the sticks into the boiling water
until, they make a coiled mass. They
serve with cheese, using tomato, cnieken
or some other inviting sauce. They use
a wooden fork in serving, coiling the
macaroni round and round, but this is a
knack which Americans have yet to ac¬
quire .—Boston Transcript.
Begging as a Flue Art.

American industry in all its branches to
day is nowhere more apparent than in
the art of begging as now practised in

out of date. The modern beggar makes
a study of his employment, and brings
to it a high order of imaginative talent
and a degree of that patient industry
which underlies most success in this age
of competition. The knowledge among
that large class of peisous of both sexes
and of all ages who decline to work
under any consideration that keen eyes
are upon them and that ordinary make
shifts and apologies won t fool honest
people any longer sharpens their wits and

The stimulating effect of such anti-fraud
machinery as the Cnanty Organization
Society on tne minds of the mendicant
class shows hat they are more capable
of intellectual improvement than many

Facts Apont Dew
John Aitken, F. R. S., of Falkirk.
Scotland, says a writer in Ix>ngman't
I Magazine, has conclusively proved that
vclist has bean so lone called dew is
merely the exudation of the watery juices
I of the healthy vegetation. Ir the course
] j of his painstaking his devotion investigation—dhly
equalled by to science in
the matter of dust and the counting of
dust particles, with which he is now oc
' cupied at Hvcre;—ho sclectc 1'a small
tur f, p i accd it over a glass receiver and
left it till drops were excreted. Reruov
j„„ the receiver, he selected n blade hav
j n 7, a ( i rop attached to it. He dried this
i blade and inserted its tip into a small
receiver, so as to isolate it froni
the damp air o# the larger receiver. The
open end of the small receiver wa> closed
b y means of a very thin plate of metal
cemented to it. la the ceuter of this
; pi a t*> was pierced a small opening, to ad
niit the tip of the blade; hut the opening
was then carefully made air-tight by
raeans of an india-rubber solution. Aftei
a time, though this blade was thoroughly
| isolated, he saw that a drop was formed
oa the tip, of the same size a? the drop
formed oa the blade under the large re
ce ; vcr i[ e 0 f course, was entitled td
. ,
. conclude that the drops on the outside
j blades, as well *s on the isolated blade,
were really exuded from the plant, and
not Extracted lrom the air. What has
j been fdf centuries called dew is therefore
no t { ] evv a t all, but the watery juices of
j healthy and plants. But fine look over dead
leaves you see a pearly lustre—*
that is dew. Dead matter gets equally
we t wherff equally exposed, and the
moisture does not collect on it iu regu
j ar ]y placed drops as it does qii plants,
If radiation continues after the sap drops
have been forming for some time, the
dcw makes its appearance all over the
surface. But true dew is of rarer oc
c^mmee than one would expect. On
many nights on which grass gets wet, no
true dev v p, deposited on it; and on all
nights, when growth is healthy, the ex
u dcd drops always appear before the
true, and the false dew can be easily de¬
tected. The moisture exuded by the
g rass — false dew—is always isolated at
points situated near the tips of the blades,
forming drops of some size, whereas
true true dew uew collects collects evenly eveniy ali au over th£
; blades. A glance discerns the pearly
lustre of the dew film from the glisten
j D g diamond drops of the healthy plant's
juice,
An Enthusiastic Yiew of the Japanese
As for the people, writes Sir Edwin
Arnold in Scribner, I am, and always
shall be, of good St. Francis Xavier’s
feeling: “This nation is the delight of
my soul!” Never have I passed days
more happy, tranquil or restorative than
among Japanese of all classes, in the
cities, towns and villages of Japan. Pos¬
sibly that is because I have had no busi¬
ness relations with my kind and pleasant
Niponese friends, and have never talked
very much metaphysics; but it seems
certainly an easy way to keep on the
right side of folks, to let philosophy and
theology alone. Moreover, it is, no
doubt, necessary for such experience to
go a little behind that sort of Japan
which you find on the Hatobas of Yoko¬
hama or Kobe; in the Yoshiwaras of
those little and distance the oth^ 3 from % pen the port,,-’ surface, At
very
which we civilizing Westerners have done
our best to spoil, will be still discovered
the old, changeless, high-tempered, gen¬
erous, simple and sweet-minded Japan
of old. I frankly confess it has entirely
charmed me; and therefore what I say
of the Japanese nation, and their man¬
ners and customs, must be received -with
the proper caution attaching to the
language of a friend, and even a lover.
But where else in the world does there
exist such a conspiracy to be agreeable;
such a wide-spread compact to render
the difficult’affairs of life as smooth and
graceful as circumstances admit; such
fair decrees of fine behavior fixed and
accepted for all; such universal restraint
of the coarser impulses of speech ffnd
act; such pretty picturesque ness of daily
existence; such lively love of nature as
the embellisher of that existence; such
sincere delight in beautiful artistic
things; such frank enjoyment of the en¬
joyable; such tenderness to the little
childrensuch reverence for parents and
old persons; such wide-spread refinement
of taste and habits; such courtesy to
strangers; such willingness to please and
to be pleased.
