Children who die still-born, or without haviug received baptism, are bur ied as near as possible to the pyramidal monuments. It is a part of the tolk lore of the Palovzes that the little ones who art* laid to rest near these Baal pillars will at the end of seven years come out from their graves, when, if some good soul will come near them nnd utter tlw baptismal formula, they will immediately become little angels and go to heaven; but. if the baptism is not given, they will have to wait seven years longer for another ci* portunity to be released. Manv othu reminiscences of Baal-worsbip survive among these people. The mother who h.u lost a young child wraps her head, a.* a sign of mourning, in a nery red cloth. Tiu former prevalence of cremation is itidi cated in the custom of burning the clothes which the deceased wore last. The tear- jugs of the ancients may still be found in the houses, of exactly the old form ant* size, but destined to a quite different pur pose. Another peculiar custom ut the funeral feast is to lay a plate with sail and bread upon the table, for the use ot the soul of the departed one, if it should appear in the circle of friends. “Bean-Bac*” I* the Laical. [Chicago Journal.] A new game of “bean-bag8”is the latest. It can Ik* played either ou a lawn or iu o C lor, It consists of a smooth painted rd a foot and a half wide anu three — iu three iuches from one end of it This board has hinged to it two legs eighteen inches long near the hole end, upon which it is propped, the other end resting upon the tloor. Then there are four small bags, made of colored aud strong material, each holding a pint of small, white beans. Tiu game is to pitch these bean bags into the hole in the board from a distance of fifteen feet or more, each player pitching all four of the bags successively. A bag goiug through the hole counts ten for the pitcher, except when the pitchet succeeds in putting the four bags through the hole successively, when it. counts fifiy a bag not going through, but resting on the board, counts five, nnd every bag miss ing the hole aud not resting on or touch ing the board after being pitched, count* minus five. Two or u dozen persons car. join in the game, each separately on his own account, or the party forming them selves into “sides,” one side counting against the other. Ten rounds finish tb< game. It is good exercise for the players, and much more exciting and more difii- cult than those never having taken part iu it might imagine. Buttered Flour. [Hartford Time*.} A Connecticut compuny makes flour r.li ready for baking biscuit or strawberry shortcake; it only requires to be mixed witii milk or cold water, and tho batter if ready for the oven. The process of it« manufacture is interesting, A quantity of wheat flour is sifted and dumped ink a large tub. Butter cut into large cul>et is added to the flour. Then the white coated operator weighs out certain mys tcrious quantities of baking soda and tfm table salt, which go to swell the content* of the tub. Tlieu the mixture is placed In a Inrgf polished cask, which revolves slowly 1e one direction, while a sort of dasher in side moves iu the opposite direction. The cask revolves about thirty minutes, at the end of which time it is opened. It if found that the ingredients have beev thoroughly mixed; every particle ot moisture contained in the butter bus beet evaporated, ami that the mixture is us fragrant as new mown hay. It is thee placed iu bags and boxed for shipment. Aces of Kuropeati lUouarehs. [Chicago Tribune. 1 The Emperor William is the oldest mon arch in Europe, Queen Victoria is ftf.

Finnlly I stopped to give him something, but I found nothing less than a dollar in by purse—loo much for a wandering scribe tc squander upon one among 10,DUO similar applicants. Not at all discouraged, how ever, the old fellow drew from his pocket a handful of silver and courteously offered to “make chauge” for me. prietor said: “Better buy oje and frame it. my boy." i In al>out five years from now they'd be us I scarce as silver fox skins, anti five times as I useful." j “Do you meau that the buffalo have ! disappeared from the face of Dakota and j Montana earth?” , “ Practically’, yes; tfnd from nil other earth in the northwest as well. The rem nants of the big hand, numbering proba bly a few thousand, are somewhere north ut the international line; no one seems to know clearly'where, bu probably in the remote vicinity of W^ody mountain. There are a few on ti j Upper Moreau, anti still fewer on the plains between the .lumcs river and the Missouri and about tiu* forty-sixth parallel. An old bull was recently driven into Fort Meade, along with a lot of domestic cattle, by the cow boys. He looked like the last of his race, and if lie has any fellows they can’t be found. ” “ What did you use to call a big yearly catch?” "Well, iu the year after the Northern Pacific was oj>eiied through to tho Little Missouri, lHgl 1 tliiuk if was, northwest ern traders got in about 100,000 robes. You see the railway let in tho hide-hunters, and as the buffalo happened to be south of the line and within reaching distance of the Missouri and transportation, the output was very large. Thousands upon thousands were killed whose bides were never removed; ami of the thousands, a large majority furnished only a few pounds of tenderloin to the rapacious rifle man. We’ve been bilking for years about the time when the buffalo would be prac tically extinct. Now that time has come ami it’s too late for protective laws. Such laws could not have liccn enforced against the Indians, but they might have been against the white hide-hunters and the rich sportsmen, who were the most wanton death-dealers of the lot “Can they be bred to domestic cattle?” “Oh, yes, readily enough. But the hy brid, while good enough tor meat, is not of much use for rolx*s. It’s a pity there wasn’t a lax? enacted u decade or two ago, making it a penal offense for a white man to even shoot at a buffalo. The Indians arc not so ruthless in .their destruction aa lias been claimed, liesides, when they get n rolie and tan it, it is worth some thing. The robes tanned in the enst or by whites anywhere are incomparably iu ferior to those known to the trade as In dian-tanned. The reds take a lot of pains and seem to have a method which, white it leaves the hide pliable, leaves it of suf ficient thickness and strength to hold t/ie hair and withstand the rougli usage all robes must expect to undergo. ” Iu the Sky Parlor. [R. H. Stoddard.] Bayard Taylor und I met at night gen erally, for neither could call the day liis own; ho had his work to do ou The Tribune and I had mine to do in a foun dry. He wrote fifteen hours a day, he told me, scribbling book notices, leaden, foreign news, reports—turning Ids hand and pen to everything that went to the making of a newspaper thirty yean ago. There was but one night in a week when he could do what he pleased, and that was Saturday night, which we always spent together when he was in town. 1 looked forward to it us n sclioollioy looks forward to a holiday, and was happy when it came. 1 have forgotten where uls rooms were, hut as near us I can recollect they were in a boarding-house on Murray street, not far from Broadway. They were sky parlors, as the saving is, for he liked a good out look ; anil ltesidcs, they suited ills purse, which was not plethoric with shekels. In the first of these rooms, which was set apart for his books, there was a little table, at which he wrote lato into the night, resting his soul with poetry after the prosaic labors of the day.

[Scientific Exchange.] Experiments have been mnde in the grounds of the Alexandra palace with a new fire-proof dress which Mr. Oersberg, a Swedish mechanician, claims to have in vented, and C'apt. Ahlstrom, u compatriot, to have matured aud fitted for practical use—a dress, which, it is stated, will en able the wearer to dash with impunity into the fiercest fire for the purpose of saving life or property. The dress, which very much resembles that worn by (livers, is made of strong canvas, double, and so auilted that water can run freely between the outside nnd inside in all directions. The inner dress has a space lw*twccn it and the body of the wearer, aud C’apt. Alii* strom claims for the air that fills this space the character of u perfect non-conductor of heat. Hose worked by the palace tire brigade were attached, one to the hack of the dress nnd the other to the top of the helmet,and when all was ready the apparently very hazardous performance commenced.
