I never shall forget how it fared with me twenty years ago, when, as a girl of eighteen, I visited my friend, Mrs. Miranda Brown, svho svith her invita¬ tion wrote me these few lines: “It will be such an excellent time to come, Olivia, for Mr. Silas Silkskin is in New Y'ork making purchases for his uncle’s store, and will he delighted to escort you back. And I’ll never speak to you again if you don’t come.” This threat decided me. I awaited Mr. Silkskin’s arrival with impatience, and hal my trunks already packed, when one evening some one was heard to rap violently upon the front door— ari unnecesiarv exertion, considering the fact that there was a bell—and a voice f exceeding meekness inquired of Hi i»ly - “Say, do you know anvliody by the nave of O-l-i-v-i-a—Ohvy; L-doubte e, Lee—Olivy Lee? 1 asked at the gro ceryman’s, but he did not know; and I went to the doctor's shop, and he said he reckoned ’ twas here. la it?” It was Mr. Sdkskin, who had the en¬ velope in which my friend had placed his letter of introduction to me in his hand. He was a small, very young man, with a baby face; and lie smiled all over as he poked the letter at me and said; “Y’ou are Miss Olivy Lee, I reckon. This was Mr. Silkskin. lie had come to tea and to stop over all night, and to start off in the morning, to the aston¬ ishment of my pareuts. But, not to he outdone in hospitality by Western folk, they welcomed him heartily; and sitting on the sofa, he smiled at intervals and answered, “Yes, ma’am,” and “Yes, sir,” to every proposition. When an inquiry was made as to Chickamahoo, he replied, “that all it wanted was more lalies’ society,” and then added: “Talking of that, I swow, I’ve forgot!” and produced a note. It was from my friend, and read as follows: “Dear Olivia: Bring ms on a hard-work ing gill. Hannah has left me to be married, Cboose an ugly one, or she'll marry in a month. I inclose cheek for her fare.” “Come an hour ago," said Mr. Silk skill. “I can got a girl," said I, remem¬ bering our Aid Society and poor Mar¬ garet, who could not get a place on account of her unprepossessing appear¬ ance. “But Hannah married? Han¬ nah is fifty, and has been with the fam¬ ily always.” ••Ladies,” said Mr. Silkskin, “arc scarce in Chickamahoo.” I instantly sent a messenger to Mar¬ garet, — who was forty, red-haired, poek-ma;ked, lame of one foot, and blind of one eye, told her to pick up at once and meet us at the depot in the morning; which, to cut a long story short, she d.d. We entered the cars, aud began our long journey in silencs. During its progres Margaret howled perpetually over “the lonsomeness” of her situation, and Mr. Silkskin »P peared to become almost deaf and dumb. He smiled occasionally; and when I spoke, he said, “Y'es, ma’am,” —that was all. Meanwhile a portly gentleman con¬ versed with 111 c over the back of the seat, pointing out place! of interest, offering me newspapers and bringing me refreshments at stopping-places. When he asked where I was going, and I stated the fact that my destination wa» Chickamahoo, he said that be was glad, for they needed ladies’ society thcre. He was kind, respectable, old enough to be my father, aud really re lieved the tedium of my journey great¬ ly. As we approached our final stop ping-place, he addressed Silas Silkskin in these words: • Y oung man, you take this cigar am go 5 mo e 1 , in a smoxing car, then come back. o Silas . stared , at v him. . 1 but 4 r finally u said *t ‘*ies, sir, and went.

I want a second wife. Will you marry me?” “Oh, no, indeed!” said I; “of course not! “Is that final!” he asked. N “Y'es,” said I; “of course it is.” “Good morning, said he. “If you change your mind, let me know, I’m a solid man in Chickamahoo. Y’our friends will advise you to have me. No offence on cither side. Good-bye.” He shook hands; Silas relumed; the station was reached; we alighted.

I aint to be de I spued. Is there any prior attachment?” | ‘-No,’’ 1 admitted, “if you must ; know.” ‘ Oh, well,” said Silas, “then you’ll change your mind when you've seen more of me." “Oh, dear, no, that can’t make any difference,” said I. “What’s the matter with me,” asked Silas, “that you're so short? d’ve sot my heart on it. You're so pretty, and your clothes fit you so good, I bet a dollar you’ll change your mind some day.” “When I do I’ll let you know,” said I. “Very well,’’ said Silas. “I under¬ stand that that is sarcastical, too, and as things be I’ll go. My room will be preferable to my company. This is the Brownses.’’ lie hclpsd mo down, smiled at me spasmodically, and drove away. - As I raug the bell I he ard a hubbub of voices within, and, as the door was open, en¬ tered without further ceremony. In tho hall stood my trunk and Margaret’s green box. Margaret herself sat perched ,l P°o ‘t, with triumph in her one green ^ while Mrj - Browu we I )t: ia her Bo3 ' * on rocking-chair. “What is the matter?” I asked. Everyone turned. Greetings were given. The explanations followed. Margaret had engaged herself on tlie wa y ovtr t0 tho miul who <lrovo tho wa 8 011 the trunks, W!

He’ll wait; he’ll wait.” “I’ll not thry that,” said Margaret. “There’s many a slilip twix’ cup and lip. And I wonder you ever say the like to a poor gurrul like me. I’ll have him whilst 1 have the chance.” “Well,” said Mrs. Brown, resigning herself to fate, “it's the way here. All alike.” "I looked at the six Misses Browns, ranging in age from sixteen to twenty six. All blushed at once. “Yes,” said Mrs. Brown, “they were all engaged in a week from our arrival, And they will all be married tomorrow. j tolJ you fo 5ring yonr MgUt hlue silk, you know. ’ The next evening I was dancing at the wedding. There was no lack of partners. The gentleman greatly out numbered the ladies. I assure you that whe|l j ha q d anC eci four dances, I had refused as many offers, But when I stood up in a Virginia reel with a native Chickamahooian he surprised me. “Forward to meet your partner,” sang the leader of the dance. YVe met. “Y’ou’re the .prettiest girl in these parts,” remarked tho native C’hick amahooian. 1 retired. “Right hand.” “And I’m goin’ to hcv you,” said he. “You’re not,” said L “Left hand.” “I’m a catch for any gal,” said he. j m ) la if ] 10 ss, half alligator, I am.

Our wild interchange of partners commenced; then our gallop. “You’d better not take a shine to any other fellow to-night,” said lie. “I’ll put an inch of cold steel into him, if you do. I know my rights, I do, and I go arme J.” I danced no more that night.

A course in sanitary engineering has been added to the other courses in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A new material called “steel pig.” much stronger than cold blast iron, and less expensive thsn steel, is uow bciug made at Sheffield, England. It is adapted for a variety of uses for which the ordinary iron was unsatisfactory. ; Professor G. Sormani has shown that the flesh of animals which have died of tetanus may be eaten with impunity, the bacillus passing through the system without causing special disturbance. An animal may swallow unharmed 10, 000 times more than would kill if placed beneath the skin. The germ itse.f is unaffected by the digestivo ju;cc3. Eight hundred thousand houses in London have 4,000,000 chimneys pour¬ ing fortli the black smoke of partially consumed bituminous coal. Add the smoke of vessels upon the Thames and the countless locomotives on the rail¬ ways and a volume of smudge is raised that darkens all the bills of mortality and hangs over the valley of the Thames like a monstrous pestilence. A practical test has been made of a new ventilator, which, it is claimed, will ventilate cars without letting in dust or cinders. Pans under the car are operated by the motion of the latter, and drive air through a box containing water, which filters and cools it, into a central tube along the roof, and thence through smaller, hell-mouthed tubos into the car. Whenever the car moves, a constant current of air is secured, even when tho doors, windows and all other apertures are closed. The manufacture of the new six-inch gun, of which 100 have ben oriered for British laud and sea service, has been stopped until a cartridge case of solid drawn metal can be devised which will stand the shock of discharge of twelve pounds of smokeless powder, nnd which can be used over and over again. This tho authorities have not yet been able to do, and the machinery engaged in the manufacture of these guns is all standing idle, ns well as the guns alrenly manufactured. Dr. T. II. Benn, in charge of tho party investigating tlio Alaska salmon fisheries, reports to Colonel Marshall McDonald, United States Pish Commis¬ sioner, that they havo visited Karluk Lake, found tho spawning beds of the red salmon and explored all the Karluk River, except eight miles of rapids. On the nests of the fish wore found small miller’s thumbs, a species of uranidea resembling the one which proves so de¬ structive to eggs and yoUDg fish in Eastern streams. The number of spawn¬ ing salinou was disappointing, whilo the enemies of the fish aro numerous. A Prosperous Chinese Ilori A celebrity among the CL 6an Francisco is their great d< Po Tai. He has been in this country nearly thirty years, and has a larger in¬ come from his profession than any white practitioner in the city. His patients all come to the office when able, aud Li Po Tai sits up, habited iu gorgeous silk and brocades, in a little den of au of¬ fice overlooking the plaza, aud feels pulses all day long. Tho patients are mostly white people, who come to him after a varied round of their own physi¬ cians, or at tho instigation of some resurrected and enthusiastic patients. Li Po Tai rests tho patients' elbows on a blue silk cushion, and proceeds to feel their right pulse with his three hooked und long-clawel fingers. He feels the right pulse to ascertain the condition of the brain, stomach and kidneys, and then grasps the left wrist to find out about the heart, liver and lung*. Although he knows practically nothing of anatomy as our physicians know it, he makes a wonderful diagno¬ sis of a case. He charges $10 a week for his services, including his medicines, and patients either come to his office and drink the tissanes, or take pncc nges of mysterious stuff home and make their own hot drinks. Li Po Tai has many notions that puz¬ zle and interest his patients. He treats them to a severe course of antidotes for genuine poisoning, if they confess to ever having eaten that dead¬ ly diug. He next commands them not to eat shellfish or uncooked fruit, to let alone poultry, fried meats, eggs, watery vegetables, a l liquors and everything sour. For these thirty years Li Po Tai has made his patients drink hot water. Dyspepsia, cancers and tumors are his specialties. His income from his pro¬ fession is .estimated at more than $6000 per month. Decay or Good Seamanship. Sava * a writer in tlie Neio York Graph : I happened to be down on the docks the other , dav , J when the ° iron ship 1 Palgrave came in from Calcutta. Tne _ p a grave ° is the largest sailing ° ship a fl oat> and she has been 105 days com ing from Calcutta, having run out of provisions aud water off Capo Hatteras. The sight of the big ship reminded me of the old ship Sea Serpent, which, unless I am mistaken, was the last ship that made sail from a dock and left New Y’ork without the aid of a tug. It was some fifteen or eighteen years ag>, aud ^he Sea Serpent laid then atone of the Brooklyn wharf,. She was loaded with oil bound t> Japan. There wa3 an ebb tide and a good breezfe from the northwest. She warped herself out of the dock head first, rau up her head sails, paid off until she pointed at Gov¬ ernor's Is and, ran up her topsails, let go her stern line! and litdrall/ sailed away from her dock like the veriest cat boat.

I | HfSTS FOR BALD-BEADED WOVE*. Now. as to the treatment for incipi cut baldness, thin spots and so forth. This is what an eminent physician said to a gentleman who consulted h m for ! the first named trouble ‘•Have you been accustomed to wash your head iu soapy water?’’ asked the I doctor. “Yes, every morning,” was tiro reply. “Well, that is the cause of this bald place; stop washing, and begin brush¬ ing your hair. Use a bristle brush, and brush for fifteen minutes every morning and night. Y'ou may not notice auy improvement for a year, perhaps not for two, but be assured you will have a fine cioji of hair, and never grow bald, if you pursue this course.” As fifteen minutes seems very long while vigorously moving a hail-brush hither and thither over the surface of your head, it would be well to inveigle one’s friends into assisting, wouldn’t, it? If the hair is falling out, remember that it is owing to an unhealthy condi¬ tion of tho scalp. First, cut off about two inches of the hair, next wash in clear, cold, soft water, rubbing dry with a crash towel; then begin the fif¬ teen minutes brushing process, and in a few weeks you will seo the tiny spires of new hair coming all over your head. Beware of being tempted to the use of any nostrum whatsoever, no matter how plausible the advertisement thereof; all are more or less injurious—generally more, as you will find out to your sor¬ row if you begiu tho use of them.— Good Uuusekeeping. GOOD COMPLEXION. Powders, cosmetics and creams are all very well—that is, some of them— as adds to the toilet, but let no woman fancy that she can swallow a dose over night, or daub her face and hands with an emolient of any sort, and turn out a beauty in the morning. Only constant care and troublo incalculable will bring about tho desired result. First, let us talk of bathing. The Turkish or Russian bath, moderately indulged in is one of the best means for improving the complexion and soften¬ ing the skin. The profuse perspiration induced by the extreme heat opens the pores and clears the skin of all deleteri¬ ous matter. A Turkish bath once a week wi.l keep the skin in good condi¬ tion; but these baths should only be taken by the advice or consent of the family physician, and even then judg¬ ment should be used u.s to the length of time to remain in tho steam room. In addition to a Turkish bath, a salt bath every morning is invigorating and les¬ sens susceptibility to cold. For this, rock-salt should be used, in the propor¬ tions of one pound to four gallons of water. If the all-over bath in salt water is too great a shock, and it is for — ^riiongo bath of salt water may brisk, thorough rubbing For any bath, the temper IPof tlio room must be such as not to allow any chill to follow the exposure of the person; a glow should pervade the whole body. — Yankee Wade. HOW TO LIFT A CHILD PROPERLY. In lifting a child both hands should be used, and so placed as to clasp the body about the waist, or hips, and the body raised without auy force being ex¬ erted upon the arms. Every day upon our streets can bo seen little children just able to toddlo along, who have to bo carried aero33 the streets and over or around obstruc¬ tions; and the torture that they some¬ times have to undergo from the thought¬ lessness of those who attend them causes many a headache to a careful ob¬ server who feels for them. Usually, with a hand grasped by tho mother or other person caring (?) for the cliild, it is hurried along faster than its little legs can carry it, a portion of its weight being lifted and causing a constant strain upon the arm; when a crossing is reached the mother takei a stronger pull, the child dahgles by one arm un¬ til the opposite side is reached, and then the feet are allowed to partly rest upon the ground again. Sometime! the process will be varied by two persons taking tlie child between them, and each taking a hand, when the weight of the child will be divided between trvo arms, which is only one-half a! bid. But such prac¬ tices should never be allowed. The arms of a child were never intended to serve as handles for the puspose of lift¬ ing or carrying. Strains, dislocations and fracture!, causing deformity and imperfect use of arm or shoulder, or both, result from such careless use of the arms of the child, which were de¬ signed for the child’s U 3 e in doing things within it! strength. It would be impossible for a child weighing 30 pound* to so exert it! strength as to lift that amount with one or even both hands, and yet that is wlmt it is com¬ pelled to do ft'hen the arm* are made the handles whereby the child is lifted.— Hartford Courant.

AN EXPLORERS ADVEM’IKES IN VL’EENSEWD. whUeMen . s Fle#h Xol Uc „shed Be cause It la ju, Salt> Habit, ol' the Savages. from Explorer Luuiholtz his just returned Queensland, Australia, says the Pall Mall Gazette He devoted a year to the cannibal tribes inhabiting a ter¬ ribly wild tract of country a couple of hundred miles north of Townsville. Mr. Lumholtz says: “To begin with, d' n’t imagine that because the tribes are eannibas they are therefore loathsome the or repulsive in np- of Pearance. On contrary many the men are physically fane pleasing fellows, feat- and some of the women have cues. Then, when you call them cauni bnls you must remember that human flesh is a very ran* luxurv, for t liev only eat foreign tribes. Native tribes, f mean, for the flesh of the while man is nasiv to their palate. He 1 ms a salty flavor which is very lucky disagreeable for to them.” “That was you. • Well, no; if I were once dead it mat tered little to me how my body was dis posed of. Rut being without morals and absolutely indifferent to human life they would have killed me if they had dared for the sake of the tobaofo and the few odds and ends 1 had with me. When I joined them at first they wore bit friendly enough. They were a good afraid of the white man, and for an inch of tobacco apiece were willing to serve me. Then they respected what they called my baby gun — my tevolver which I fired off every oil’, night. Rut iu time their fears wore and there were several attempts to tomahawk me, Injt I was lucky. 1 had a splendid should hunter have with me, who twice tried. I shot him dead, but l was a little loath to do so, as I was very keen about get¬ ting that specimen of tho tiger marsup¬ ial, so I tolerated him. Might shot is right of among them. If I lmd n few them my dangers would have been con¬ siderably lessened.” "To resume about the man-eating, I never saw a cannibal feast, but every night in their huts the talk was of women and human flesh. Those were the stock subjects of conversation. “Not very different from highly Lumholtz? ml tured Europeans, Mr. Women and cooking.” “I was able to understand them, for 1 had learnt the language, and I gathered that xvluto man was no good too salty. China¬ man was not half bad. He fed on r.ee, and had a tender vegetable flavor about him, like a men’y cauliflower. But of all varieties there was nothing ho sweet as a i ative baby—so sweet, so juicy, so fat, so tender. Old men and women were naturally tough and sinneny. And the favorite parts were the thigh and the flesh of the hand. The cannibal b acks have no religion, no ceremonial, no idols, and the only approach ton ped charm was a bit of human fat writ' up in grass and tied round the neck as good luck to your hunting. “If you want a wife, handkerchief, nndliavejmoney, which is tobacco, or a tell or a tomahawk—I should you that these articles pore ilato through the densest bus!;, and over the wildest ranges—you can buy a wife. You may inherit a wjfe by agreement. You may get your dead brother’s wife, but the commonest method of acquiring a wife is to go and help yourself.

Then there is a row, and you }ia*-e to fight a duel with n wooden broadsword, and tho women come down to the tight and howl and screech and back their men. and there is a terrible to-do.

Good Rules. Learn your business thoroughly. Keep at one thing; in no wise change. Al¬ ways be in haste, but never in a hurry. Observe system in all you do and under take. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. One to-day is worth two to-morrows. Be self-reliant; do not take too much advice, but rather depend upon yourself. Never fail to keep your appointments or to be punct ual to the minute. Never be idle, but keep vonr mind or bands usefully em¬ ployed, except when sleeping.
