THE KALEIDESGOPE.
Arranged by Belle K. Abbott.
ARTESIAN WELLS
Derive their name from the province of Artois
. In France, where for a long timo they have
‘been much in use. Tho water pressed up
through these small openings, the diameter
not exceeding more than twelve inches at tho
top, must have for its fountain head some
xnoro elevated locality than the sur
face whore tho. boring begins. Tho
Water is thrown up precisely upon the
principle of artificial fountains, and the depth
&t which it is usually found, is sufficient to
regard the supply as permanent. This water
coming so far from below the surface of the
earth is much warmer in temperature than
that drawn from other wells, and hence is
invaluable for hospitals and green houses in
all seasons. Some of the oldest wells on record
have flowed for centuries. One at Aire in Ar
tois has been flowing [more than a thousand
years. One at Lillers, (Pas de Callais) has
been flowing since the year 1126.
At Grenelle and Passy, near Paris, are two
of the most wonderful wells of the world,though
of modorn boring. In Germany, England, and
many other countries of Europe artesian wells
have proved of wonderful value. Owing to
- tho success of the French engineers in Africa,
these wells Have caused tho deserts to “blossom
as the rose.” After tho boring of seventy-five
of theso wells, “two new villages sprang up in
* the airid solitude and 150,000 palm trees were
S lanted in more than 1,000 new gardens/ 1 and
re water supply was unfailing. In our own
country the experiment has proven highly
successful. In New York, Chicago, Louisville
i Bt. Louis, Charleston, and many othor cities
fine artesian wells snpply pure and unfailing
water to man and beast. Atlanta too, will
eurely claim her own if wo keep boring,
i JOHN ANDRE.
*What American school child is not familiar
With the melancholy fate of this unfortunato
'man? “Born in London 1751, hung as a spy
at Tappan, Rockland county N. Y., October
- 2, 1780.” This history chronicles him.
. Disappointed in a love affair ho entered the
English army, and was taken prisoner by
General Montgomery in Canada during the
Revolutionary war. Afterward ho becamo
aid*de-camp to General Clinton in which ca
pacity he engaged in a secret correspondence
' with General Benedict Arnold for tho purpose
of securing a botrayal of the American causo.
Arnold held command of West Point, on the
Hudson river, the “most important post in the
United 8tates, and the key of communication
between the eastern and southorn states.”
To surrender this post into the hands of Gen
eral Clinton, whose headquarters wore in How
York, required a personal interview betwoon
Andre and Arnold. This .was arranged for.
Returning from this secret mcoting, and
bearing a permit from General Arnold to pass
“the lines,” Andre, to insure his groatcr pro
tection, disguised himself as a citizen, but was
arrested within a mile of Tarry town by three
American soldiers. Searching his person thoy
found within his socks traitorous communica
tions from Arnold, betraying tho American
cause. Refusing Andre's oQers of money for
freedom, theso patriots, John Paulding, David
Williams, and Isaac VanWert conveyed him
to Tappan, the American headquarters. Horo
ho was tried as a spy by a board of officers and
condemned to death. His request to bo shot
was denied him, and ho was hang as a spy in
full British uniform in the presence of a vast
concourse of people both civil and military.
He called on the multitude to witness that bo
died as a bravo man. His death was lament
ed even by Washington himself, but for his
crime in that dark’day of American struggling,
thcro was no expiation short of death. In 1821
• his remains wero romovod to England and
interred in Westminster abbey..
KNIOHTS OV JERUSALEM,
Also called Knights of Malta, a religious and
military order which originated in tho mid
dle of the eleventh century. A chapel bought
for the accommodation of tho Latin pilgrims
; to tho Holy sepulchre in Jerusalem was called
for its almoner, St. John, a nativo of Cyprus,
and a patriarch of Alexandria, who died 610.
The inmates of the hospital displayed heroic
• charity in the capture of Jerusalem by the
.Crusaders 1090. After peace was restored,
. these associates bound themselves to labor
forever “as the servants of the poor, and of
. Christ.” They adopted as their insignia the
white cross of eight points, worn on tho loft
shoulder. This order was approved by Pope
Pascal 2nd, in 1115. Great influx of members
caused the order to be divided according to
nationalities or, “languages,” nino different
ones being spoken among thorn. In 1187 the
order was nearly annihilated by Saladin in the
battle of Tiberias. After tho fall of Jerusalem
it was established at the castleof Msgat. Af
ter the battle of Gasa in 1244 tho order was
again nearly exterminated, and these repeated
defeats drove them to the island of Malta
which they strongly fortified, and it became
thenceforward tho bulwark of Christendom,
Hence esme the name the Knights of Malta.
In 1798 Malta was taken by Bonaparte, and
tho grand master Horapesch abdicated. Since
that time the order has existed only in namo.
THE BSLON f ASS.
This wonderful defile in the mountains of ft.
E. Beloochistan is tho only passway from the
country of the “Lower Indies, to the table
lands of Afghanistan./ It is a succession of
ravines five miles long rising at last at a sum-
* mit 5,793 feet anove tho level of tho sea.
Through this narrow passage flows a small
river which becomes a rushing and dangerous
torrent in rainy weather. In 1839 the British
expedition to Afghanistan spent six days in
making this circuitous and rock-walled pass.
CA IRA.
A popular revolutionary song sung in Franco
during the reign of terror. It was a favorite
air with Maria Antoinette, who was doomed to
hear it on her way to the guillotine. For four
years it accompanied the victims to the guillo
tine with the refrain:
"Ah! ca Ira, calra, calra,
Lcs aristocrats a la lanterne.”
Napoleon suppressed this song, but still it
became a national one, ranking with tho Mar-
Bailies hymn, and other equally patriotic airs.
TBS CALMUCKS.
A people of the Mongol race inhabiting part
of Russia and China. They were divided Into
four tribee. One established themselves on
the upper Tabol and became vassals to Russia
and during the last centnry took possession of
the steppe between the Don and the Volga,
and were associated with the Coesacks of tne
Don. The Calmucke are described as being in
appearance one of the uglist of all the tribes of
men. They are of medium site, robust and
broad shouldered. Their complexion is
swarthy, face flat, fissures of the eyelids nar
row and oblique, and the eyes email, black
and regular, ears long and prominent, head
large and fiat, ana hair coarse and black.
They have long legs with feet turned in toward
each other. Tneir ugliness is their title to
purity of race. The marriages that some of
the Cossacks hare contracted with them have
produced some handsome women. Their lan
guage is harsh and abounds in gutterala. They
are descendants of the Scythian barbarians of
antiquity, and perhaps of the Hum, who,
under Attilla terrified the nations of Europe,
as much by their hideous aspect as by their
ferocity. A small number or the Calmucka
have adopted Christianity, and others Mo-
bamedemsm, but the religion of ths great ma
jority of them is the Lamaic form of the Badh-
lsm. They are tancbl to obey their parents,
and to treat their wives and elders with re
spect. Theft is punishable by castigation, and
murder for the first time by fine and brand
ing. The Celmucks are nomads moving about
In tribes. Their tents are of a conical shape,
the floor is covered with a carpet of felt, and
In winter with the akfne ot animals. The
household idols areplaeed on a kind of altar
made of begs, coffers and horse equipage.
Their coetnme consists of a long cafurn,a short
jacket, trousers, and boots. Their arms are
bows and arrows, scimetars, and lances, they
rarely nee guns, although gunpowder has been
known to them from time immemorial.
Divcrce is forbidden by law, but usage allows
a man to send away his wife. At eight years
of ege the boys are tent to the priest who teach
them to read and write. They marry early.
tho males at fifteen, tho females at thirteen.
Tho marriage ceremony consist in tho couplo
holding a shoulder of mutton wrapped in
cloth, end pledging their troth before thoir
idols. They are extremely‘superstitious and
will never enter upon any transaction withoit
first consulting a priest. They are not de
ficient in intelligence, have a strong memory
and great keenness of the senses, especially
that of sight. They do not reckon from any
fixed date, but count by cycles of twelve, to
which they givo tho namo of some animal.
Tho year is composed of thirtoen months, each
of which also bears tho name of some animal.
THE HYMN MADE IN THE BASTILE.
About a hundred and sixty years ago a lady
was confined in one of the dungeons of tho
hostile. It was no new thing for hor to bo in
S rison, for she had spent many years in cap*
vity in various parts of France. And what
was her crime? Religion. She loved her
saviour and had laid herself at His feet, to live
for him, and, if need be to die for him. Her
name was Madam Guyon.
While in her lonely dungoon she composed
a good many hymns. A Little Bird I Am,
was one of them. She was not allowed paper
or pen, but she committed her lines to
memory, and often sung them to herself, and
when at last she was released from prison, she
wrote them down on paper:
A LITTLE BIRD I AM.
“A little bird I am.
Shut from the fields of atr,
And In my cage I sit and sing
To Him who placed mo there;
Well pleased a prisoner to bo
Because, my God, it pleases thee.
Naught have I else to do,
I sing tho whole day long;
And, He whom most I love to please,
Doth listen to my song;
He caur*-* —- -
But stll
Thou hast an car to hear,
* A heart to love and bless,
And though my notes were e’er so rude
Thou womds’t not hear the less.
Because thou knowest, as they fall,
That love, sweet love, inspires them all.
My cage confines me round.
Abroad I cannot fly;
But though my wing Is closely bound,
My hearts’ at liberty.
My prison walls cannot control
Tho flight, the freedom of my soul.
OI ft Is good to soar
These bolts and bars above,
To Him whoso purpose I adore;
Whose providence I love;
And in thy mighty will to find
The Joy, tne freedom of the mind."

One of the greatest freaks of nature which we
have seen lately waa brought to our office the
other day by Mr. Frank Stone, who lives some two
miles from the city. It was a combination of reed
and wheat The stalk is a regular cane, the joints,
is and all being exactly similar to our com-
reed. But at the tip of the branches are
fully developed wheat beads of a dun color, with
beard and all. Tho heads contain grains similar
to wheat, and the whole bears tho appearance of a
stalk of wheat hardened Into reed. This cariosity
grows plentifully on a bottom on Mr. Stone’s
place, and its origin Is wholly unaccounted for.
A s for ourselves, we must say that it beats any
thing we have yet seen. Doubters can sec the
curiosity at this office.

For more than forty years what Is known os “the

habit of reading enables a man {to fix his mlud
upou a given subject, and to quickly perceive and
appreciate the distinctions which would
not be apparent to one unskilled
iu the use of language. What
Is called a good English education is the only
preparation that many of our greatest lawyers
hsd to start with. The Latin maxims and
phrases in tho law books need not bother tho
student, as thoy are all translated in tho law dic
tionaries. If our correspondent has faithfully
utilized his common school course, and has a
legal bent, thcro is no reason why ho should not
ko ahead. Application and determination will
pull him through.

serial attitude of your plow point givo it a
sudden thrust towards tnoconterof tho oarth,
it will be sure to strike a root, and break your
plow- beam—land your head botwoon tho
steer’s legs, and ho being free will likoly gal
lop around tho Hold several times. I forgot
to mention that you ought to commenco
whistling as soon as you hitch
up and whistle until you land
between bis legs. Just at this
point your musical talents will bs found con
venient— arise, commence singing some good
spiritual song, most any will do. “Amazing
grace,” for instanco, or It may bo better to
sing “Hasto to the wedding.” It all depends
on tho rnto of speed the steer has on. Whilo
singing stand firm in your tracks with your
hands in your pockots. Remain in this posi
tion and sing until tho steer stops, in the
mcnntlmo keep your mind on
things abore and not on things
below. After the steer stops doirt
start as though you wero going straight to him,
but obliquely, whistling from the timo you
start until you get opposito him, then stop
suddenly as though you had just discovered
him, then walk around two or threo times as
though you didn't care about catching him,
singing in tbe meantimo, “Como humbto sin
ners, etc.;” finally walk up in a gentlemanly
manner and take hold of tho lino. If tho
steer goes through the same general perform
ances for three days you will nave a steer that
will be hard to part with.

PINKEYE.
About thoflritof April, 1885, four or llro
horses In ourataklo wero taken with that
dreaded diacaso, Pinkojo, Wo did every
thing that wo could to rolloro thorn, uiing all
tho romcdlcs laid down In tho horso boolu, but
without my appreciable bonollt. Tho sudor-
logs ot tho poor animals woro torrlblo, as tho,
waited away under thl. disoaso. At last ono
ot tho host of thorn died. Having road a stata-
ment from Colonot dames L, Flaming, of
Augusta, about tho euro of a valuable homo of
Pinkeye with Swift SpoclQo, wo determined
to givo It a trial and eoeured a supply. We
followed Colonel Fleming's dlrecUon aud gave
each animal four ouncee of S. S. 8. with oqual
quantity of water threo tlmee a day. Soma of
Uie casco wore more obstinate than others, but
all yielded In timo to tho Induoneo of tho
medicine. Tho Ant eymplomi ot Improve
ment woro a di,position to mova about and a
gradual Increase of appetite. We are happy
j that Swift Sptclllo has made . perfect
ol tho remaining four horios,
they aro In aplendld con
dition to-day. From our ezparlenoe,
wo believe Swift’s SpeclOo Is ono of tho bait
tonics for the snlmsl as well ss for tho bumtn
rseo. It InvIgorstM the sjstom and improvos
the appetite of the horse as wall at of th. man,
aud will no doubt make tho hors, shod oft
more readily his winter cost of hslr. Wo
most cordially rocommend It.

With my experience I pronounce
Brewer's Lung Restorer
the best lnng remedy made. Four of my brothm
and sisters had died with consumption, and about
throo yean ago I became so exhausted by a long
eon tinned cough, accompanlod with low fevss
and night sweats, that I could barely get about
and my friends gave np all hope. I coughed so
inccssautly that 1 could not sleep at all. Altai
tying several long modlclnee I began the use ot
Brewer’s Lung Restorer
and vu greatly benefited by the lint bottle, gain
ing fleah and strength and resuming work. I *
continued to take It and am ssitont now as I ever
was, rarely ever cough nor do I suffer with my
lungs ady more than U they never bad boss
afltjfctod.
I am never without a bottle’o! It In; my house.
During the winter I give It to my little children,
even a little follow three years old, for anything
like common colds, tor when they show any evf
dence of croup and always with the most aatta*
factor, iMalta. V.nr tal,. Q „
