tip U> UdM. A letter written from Galloo, Fern, Kite* a description of * trip up theAndee. They started from Lima, np the valley of the Bimae. For about fifteen miles above the city the valley is seven miles wide, with beantifnl green fields of com and other grain extending from the little river winding down the middle out to the base of the abrnpt and barren mountains on each side. Even now, although the country was devastated by war but a couple of years ago, and is yet in the possession of the enemy, the fields and everything look thrifty, and suggest a state of prosperity hardly expected under the circumstances. It is almost unnecessary to say that it is not due to native enterprise, bnt to the enterprising North Americans who have came here and erected sugar mills, cot ton mills and floor mills, and established all kinds of commercial houses, besides building the railroad np into the heart of fiie almost impassable mountains, thus opening np to the world one of the richest of mining oonntriee. Along the banaa of the river are a number of sugar mills and ootton mills. Here and there along the rente are nuns of villages. Borne of them were abandoned ages ago, but most of them were destroyed during the late war. Every station along the railroad has a garrison of Chilian soldiers, and the only houses that appear habitable are used by them. There are many crosses or little alters standing slate along the roadside, at some of which 1 saw devout Catholics at prayers. Among the ruins of the villages one can always distinguish the cathedral, which is usually the largest and, in fact, the only building of any size or having any pretensions to archi textural design m construction to be seen. Nearly all of the houses are built of mud; many oi them built during the reign of the Incas. The cathedrals are usually built oi stone and are very massive and generally imposing in ap pearance. They always have at least one bell tower with a chime, or rather a number of bells rung by means of braided ropes. As we ascend the valley it gradually narrows until there is not a foot of level land along its sharp ascent, being built in- cuts in the mountain sides. The grade is 211 leet to the mile. When going up it looks just as though we were climbing a I ill, yon can see the inclination so plainly. A place called Ban Bartonio is where we begin the ascent in earnest. Here we run np to the station and on to a turn-table where we turn completely around and run back in the same direction, bnt curv ing around and np the mountain side. After running this way a little way we rnn back again, so that after traveling three miles we hud ourselves directly above the station about 600 feet, ana tbo nver as much further below the town. From there we rnn up quite a distance without any more ol these “developments” (as they call the V construction) that the road makes while running backward and forward. rOETY TUNNELS IN FIFTY JULES, A few miles further on we come to the great Agua de Verrugas, over which there is a bridge, one of the highest in the world. Frum the bed of the river up to the track of the bridge is 252 feet. It is not a suspension bridge either, but is built on three iron piers. At each end there is a tunnel, so you run out of a tunnel on to the bridge, and then from the bridge into a tunnel again. In a distance of fifty miles there are forty tunnels, and in places you can look up and Bee two tunnels above yon as you are just entering one, and then yon toon aiteraards look down and Bee those through which you have just passed. Yon keep on climbing gradual ly upward, passing over high bridges and running along ledges of oliffs, with the little nver winding along thonsands of feet below. In places the valley widens out a little, so that there may be Been at once several villages on the nver banks, and numbers of beautiful green fields and pastures, with cattle and llamas in them. All alpng the mountain sides can be seen the trails leading into the the villages on their way over the the mountains, and eyeiy now and thtn a hoiseman or a train ol Hamas can be seen slowly winding their way along the trail, looking like mere specks, they are so many leet above or below ns, or may le directly opposite, across the valley. In places we wonid oome out oi a tunnel on to the edge of a high cliff, overlooking the valley stretching ont far below, and partly shut out by clouds, like some pictured sketch; something that a peison might expect to see only on canvas; an attempted description of which in words is a mere mockery of its grandeur and beauty. Before 1 leave here I am going to get a number of viewB of the road, so that you can form some idea of what it looks like. Before the Spanish conquest by Piz ana, about 350 years ago, there were so many people in the valley that they were obliged to cultivate the mountatn sides. In order to do this they built a series ol terraces from the base to the top of the mountains and grew their com and other crops on them. In order to get .water np to these ttrraces they built a score of aqueducts and carried the river water up there. These terraces and the ruins of the aqueducts can be seen all along the valley. Tbrougha Car'Window: Mrs. Uibbs, while laboring under temporary aberration of the mind at tempted suicide recenty by jumping from a train on the Philadelphia, Wil mington and Baltimore railroad near Bay View station. She is the widow of the late Medical Inspector Gibbs, -yho died at Trieste in 1881 while in spector of the United States Mediter ranean squadron. She had just returned from Europe with her son and daughter, and was on her Way from New York to Wilmington. It appears that when the train was some distance lrom the city the lady lelt her children and went into the closet cf the car. The children thought nothing of it until the train caaio into Union station, when going into the closet they were horrified to see the window open and their mother gone. They notified the railroad officers, a special locomotive and car were quickly chap*tched up the road to look for her. Lanterns were taken and the tunnel leading ont of the city was carefully searched. She was fonnd near Bay View, lying unconscious beside the track, and her faoe covered with blood. She had raised the car window and jumped from she train while it was in motion. She was brought to the city hospital, where she lay unconscious several days. She has a severe injury on her forehead which the doctors fear may prove fatal. Her children say that she has bgen acting strangely of late, and it is thought that her mind was deranged when she leaped from the train. Oats may be raised on a diversify of soils and with good result They grow well over a wide range of latitude, and; with proper cultivation, supplementing the sowing of good' seed, they are a creditable crop to tatse.

About Stables.—Let your stable be well drained and sufflcieatly lighted. The vapors from a damp, putrid floor, and the snddon change from rtarku— to light, will almost to a certainty eaaae blindness. Let the floor of the stall be quite flit and level. Standing on a slop ing place is very painful, and causes lameness by straining the ligaments and membranes. It also produces grease and sore heels. Every stall should be at least six feet wide and nine feet long. This will enable the horse to turn round without bruising himself, and to lie down and stretch himself with comfort. Let the stalls be separa ted by partitions, not by bars. They prevent the horses from fighting and kicking each other. Let proper open ings be made just under the ceiling, to permit the hot, foul air to escape, and proper openings at the bottom of the wall to admit fresh air. Impure and confined air will cause broken wind. The fresh air should enter through a number of small, rather than a large hole, such as an open window. That prevents draughts, which cause chills and coughs. The temperature of a sta ble should be that of a sitting-room or parlor; aot over seventy degrees in sum mer nor nnder forty-five in winter, not. close, or foul stables will bring on glan ders or inflame ation, while a very cold or damp one may cause an incurable cough or disease of the lungs. Do not keep the hay over the manger. The steam and breath of the animal make it both unpleasant and unwholesome. If the hay most be kept over the horse, the ceiling between should be of plas ter. This will in a measure prevent vapors from passing up to the fool, Have no opening into the manger from the hay-loft. Dust is very often thrown into the horse’s eyes, when fed in this way, and thus blindness is began. The breath ascends directly to the t food through the opening, which, at the same time, pours a continual draught down on the horse’s head, thns canswg chills as well as bad food. The hogs suffer most and their food should receive close attention. Provide a variety. Do not feed corn alone. Feed the pnmpkina that yon raised among the com. Pick np the petatoee too small for market and the fallen apples not wanted for cider and feed them to the bogs. Swing yonr large iron kettle in the hog lot and cook those turnips yon have raised on the early potato patch;mlx with turnips.bran, corn-meal and a very littlesalt,and feed in troughs. Bee that the hogs get ashes, charcoal and salt regularly Save all vegetable scraps and greasy water and refuse milk for the slop barrel, which keep one-third full of bran and com meal.— Begin feeding the hogs three light meals per day. We have time and again written against the folly of dairymen tiying to fatten their old cows at a profit. It cannot be done, and if any fanner wish es to try it let him have them at any price. If a man has more grass or other feed than he knows what to do with let him bny some likely young steers and make money with them instead of wast- his time and feed on the remains of an old cow. The Provistvner, of England, on this subject says: “Old animals can seldom be fattened at a profit, even if their flesh was as valuable as that of younger ones, because it requires so much more time and feed to do it.’' What we particularly object to in old cows for fattening is the immense pro portion of oflal in them. A pot-belly makes no beet Fbeaks and variations in vegetables have been nnmerous at the New York experimental statiou. One of thebeeta planted for seed, instead of throwing np a st ed shoot, emitted branches from the root, and these branches, coining to the surface, threw ont leaves,thns form ing a cluster of roots,whieh have grown as annnals, showing no tendency to si eding. A potato plant developed tu bers in abundance in the axils ol its leaves. An onion, of tne white globe variety, eprou'ed mto a top onion, the duster cf small bnlbs replacing the top formatioe. Bi-annuals became annuals, for rows of sorghum ana salsify grown from seeds from plants whieh were bi annuals last year, are furnishing annual plants this year, thus showing how ea sily and quickly the habits of gome plants can be changed by selection. Obaxge jelly.—One box of Coxe’s gelatine soaked one hour in one pint of tepid water, slice into two poundB of white sugar two oranges and two lem ons, let this stand also; then add three pints of boiling water; mix all thoroughly, strain all through a jelly bag, pour into moulds and set away to cool. Excellent in sickness. One-half the recipe makes a sufficient quantify at a time. Thebe are many degrees of feeding, snch as poor feeding,good feeding,high feeding and over-feeding. High feed ing can only be indulged in with young animals, and always then with more or lees risk of permanent injury to the ani mal; bnt either exoessively low feeding or over-feeding can only be practiced with actual injury to the beast. The over-worked or starved organs of diges tion will never fully recover from the injury, and, what is far worse than the immediate injury to the animal thus wrongfully treated, the evil effects of this bad treatment are sure to be lelt by the offspring, so that snch a oourse, if persisted in, will surely bring destruction to the herd. Mobe than ail other calf troubles combined is that of scours. A Massa chusetts farmer tells in the Homestead his remedy: “For scours in calves I find the tea from white oak bark the best thiDg I have ever tried, and I have tried almost everything. Take about a quart of tea (made strong) and mix with milk. I hrve no trouble getting calves to dnnk it, and two or thres doses al ways bring them, if taken in time. I have used dollars’ worth of medicine, bnt have never tried anything as good as the above.” E. L. Stuetevant says he has ionnd strong tobacco water a remedy for the cabbage flea beetle, hallioa striolata,the little black bng or Ilea whieh is so de structive to young plants of turnip,rad ish and cabbage. The decoction most be made strong. This tobacco water is of no avail with the Btriped bng or en cumber beetle. Corn-cobe dipped in coal tar or in turpentine and kerosene seemed to drive away a large proportion of the beetles. A writer in one of the Loudon tech nical journals asserts fiat continuous girders, in iron work, though economi cal in first cost, are objectionable for use in road bridges, owing to vibrations; repeated shocks, or viqration producing fatigue, will eventually cause the fail ure of all iron structures in which cor rosion is not allowed to alter the condi tions nnder which they were built; and as it may be ooncluded that the vibra tions in continuous girders, are more numerous, with an equal number of shocks of the same intensify, than in those of the non-oontmnoos type, the life of the former will be shorter than that of the latter. Again, alterations in foundations, which often change the conditions essential to the safe nark ing of continuous girders, are less liable to exert their influence en non-contin- uoob girders; it is also a fact, too, that close spacing of the oroas girders at a bridge lacrosses the number and ex tant cf the vibrations and hag on injur- ioos efisot on the gizden " ' Chudben's fashions —Elastic doth is popularly made into aerrieaable cos tumes for children, and nothing could lie imagined better adapted to the ■train which a child’s incessant move ment pats open its clothing. It is in solid colon, webbed like a stocking, and lies close when not stretched, It is an Eaglish ‘‘wear-resisting” material, and puts boys and girls in possession of a material whieh, if not held in by stiff lining, is perfectly adapted to their s. Bnt it is vety hard to patanade the ordinary seamstress and dressmaker not to use linings. They are so accus tomed to making the luting a substi tute for proper underwear that they do not see how it can be dispensed with— nor their customer, either. Bnt indeed, if children are property dressed and clothing is properly made there ia little necessity for linings. The “Elfie” skirt and “box-plaited” waist compose a pretty costume in dark bine or gar net, moss-green or brown lor girls that demand nothing in the way of trim ming bnt a velvet belt and rosette of narrow velvet ribbon to baton the tablier of the skirt. The cloaks are for school wear, except the first, which pretty, in rod, blue or white wool with lace or ribbon trimming, for any purpose whatever. The “Nanor” cloak has hood and cape; the “Gisela” raglan, hood and gathered sleeves easily slipped over the hand, and very pretty made in dark blue or green and lined with dark red, - hood included. The “Linda” dress is for solid wool, trimmed with several rows of narrow braid, and derives all its style from its simplicity and from its softness of material and color. Black braid should be used upon all dark colors, or gold braid upon cream, or cream and go:d mixed upon white, Pretty contrasts in color may be obtained by making the oollar dark red (or blaok upon shep herd’s cheek), and facing the band turned np on the skirt with a color to match. The mixed and broken checks are well adapted to this design. Safe washing of windows.—Mrs. Janes is perfecting a patented window washer, which promisee to be the de sired invention for cleaning the outer sashes of windows without sitting out on the sill, at imminent risk of falling backward into the street. It consists of a long, slender handle of wood and metal, hollow, which is so curved os to bring a square of rubber directly against an outer pone of glass. A sponge is fastened by a rubber band to this square. The carved handle and the readily attached sponge, which, with the firm corners of the robber, are to do the cleaning, constitute' the real merit of the invention, as they really are only like the bent and lengthened arm of the window washer herself. An attachment is made to the upper section of the holder of a rubber syringe tube, an end of which is to be dipped into a bncket or basin, and by a touch will supply to the Bponge all the water that is needed for the win dow cleaning, so that it need not be drawn in again to the room until the work is complete. The inventor is, we understand, about having the entire implement made in papier mache, which is extremely light, and can be made into a tube as well as mto a washbasin. In her first completed model the handle was of ash, a hard wood being neces sary to make the tubing required; and for window washers who like a stoat implement this does very well. Every ounce that is taken off a brash-handle, however is of importance to some peo ple, to that in either form window washing onght to be safely and quickly accomplished by this means. A chamois cloth or any polisher oan be fastened upon the robber back in the same-way as the sponge is. The secret ot ventilation without draught is a little and constantly, The mere fact of living in a close atmos phere begets a shivery, snsoeptible condition of the body, whieh is intol erant of the slighest sensation of chill. If yon accustom yourself and your chil dren to fresh air yon become robust, your lungs play freely, the vital heat is sustained, and even a draught becomes exhilarating. All through the day re member to have a small chink open at the tops of yonr windows: or better still, raise the lower sash, dose the opening beneath with a pieoe of wood fitting closely, and so the air will enter at the junction of the sashes, aud pass upward without draught. Veby delicate tea cake is made by bearing the whites and yolks of six eggs separately. Mix two and a half ounces of very fine dry bread crumbs with four ounces of melted butter, add the beaten yolks, and two ounces of sugar, and a teaspoonful of grated lemon peel. Mix these together and then add gradually two ounces of chpped raisins, and a few blanched and chopped almonds, lastly stir in the beaten whites of the eggs If the mixture seems too thin a little flour may be added. It is impossible to give definite directions because the bread crumbs are so likely to vary in weight. This should be baked in a moderate oven, and in a shallow tin which must be lined with paper on the bottom and sides. When done yon may frost it or sprinkle powdered sugar over it.

The operation of crashing and sepa rating olay is, it is now claimed, greatly facilitat-d by the employment of an in genionsly constructed machine,recently introduced. This apparatus presents the peculiarity of having two rails set side by side and parallel with each other, in suitable housings, each roll having formed on its faoe a right-hand groove, thread, or screw,extending from the eenfe to one end—also a left-hand smew or groove extending from the centre to the other end. The rolls are then set in their housings, with the right-hand thread or screw on one roll, in opposition to the left-hand groove or screw on the other roll; thns, when the elay is introduced between the rolls through a hopper fixed centrally over them, the stones in the elay are carried in the screws or grooves to cor and of the rolls and there ejected, while the olay also passes through between Bin faces ot the rolls, and is in thin manner crashed or pulverised to the desired HUMOBOUH . np Pennsylvania ing in a ear.

Jerky sobs and sniffls attracted the attentioj and excited the maternal sympathy of Gretchen, and she affectionately asked him to unburden his griefs to her. “Won’t tell yon,” snapped he. “Oh yea, my little man, you must tell me what uls yon, and I’ll help you.” “Nobody can’t help me now. I’m just almost gone.” 'No, no, little one.” said Gretchen, she endeavored to put her arm around the dusty neck. “You're not quite gone.

'When the fine white bark of the birch tree is dis tilled it yields a rod oil, nearly one- fourth of which consists of file special phenol or erboiio add which gives a well-known odor to Russian leather.

Y Worn, Weary,'and Wretched. “As weak as a cit” is an expression frequently used by debilitated sufferers who are trying to tell bow forlorn they feel It is an incorrect ex pression, for a cat is one of the most agile and rigorous animals in exist ence. It would be more correct to say, “as weak as a limp old rag,” for that gives the idea of utter inability to hold one’s self up. The weaiy per son who feels thus is generally worn, worried, woeful, mid wretched. Sometimes it is a case of overwork, and sometimes of imperfect nour ishment The blood in the system of a person who is “as weak as a rag” is in a wretchedly thin condition. It needs iron, to impart richness, redness, and strength. This is to be had by taking Bxowk^ I*on Bitters, the only safe and proper preparation of iron in connection with gentle and pow—ribl tonics.
