Mrs. Stowb, of San Erancisco, ap peared in trousers before the Social Sci ence Sisterhood the other day. The Cail says : “Her hair was cut short and bound up with a narrow blue ribbon. She wore a black velvet coat-tailed basque and a short black silk plaited skirt. The ‘ line of beauty ’ was concealed by black cassimere trousers covering the instep. Hit gaiters were of cloth, and on her breast was a red silk badge stamped ‘S. S. S.,’ and fastened with a diamond pin and two artificial roses. She carried a fan. ‘I have a double flannel on under my dress and no corsets,’ she explained. ‘I never wore corsets in my life.’ ” A war which has probably cost Egypt the agricultural production of one year, and hundreds of millions besides, and has put Great Britain to enormous ex pense to send 30,000 men to Egypt, and to gather transportaion from all the world fortheir campaign, ended at the first real touch of arms, with a victory in which the heroic victorious army lost thirty killed and 120 wounded. Eng land will make much of it. And poor Egypt must pay for the destruction of Alexandria, which was British work, and for her conquest by the British; all this out of her destroyed crops, and her poor agricultural laborers. With the mili tary prestige gained by this war, will not Great Britain be looking about for other countries to conquer? Will she not be arrogant and dangerous? But Great Britain has had military success in several wars, in her recent pursuit of an imperial policy, which has not been profitable in the outcome, and it may be so in this instance. After all this mili tary glory, the thing passes to the realm of diplomacy, and the other powers will claim to have a finger in the pie of Egypt. The outcome may be a sort of joint arrangement which will be humil iation to the conqueror, and will be worse in the matters of national and commercial se'curity than that which ex isted before the British destroyed it by making war. Old Strawberry Beds. Strawberry vines that have been per mitted to cover the ground and have borne one good crop of fruit, will not pay tiic labor of weeding out, and as a rule should be plowed under as soon as the crop has been gathered; but if one has neglected to set a new' bed the past spring, and desires to grow enough for family use, two or three rods of the old bed may be saved, and made to furnish a; other year what fruit is wanted for h< mie use. One of the easiest and perhaps the best way to clean out an old bed, is to spade in the vines, leaving rows about a foot in width and four feet apart. A good dressing of manure should be s; aded in with the vines; and the rows o vines left standing should be well cleaned out, leaving neither weeds or grass. Some believe it best to mow ofl the tops of the old vines, but as we have never tried this method we cannot speak of its advantage from experience; la t if the vines do just as well by so do • ing, it would be an improvement, be cause it would lessen the labor of weed ing out, which is the one great draw back on continuing an oid bed; not only is it a very tedious task to weed it out in the first place, but the weeding must continue until cold weather, or the grass will become so thick that it will greatly lessen the crop the next season. If the land be in good condi tion, (he space spaded up will be well covered with vines before cold weather sets in; if so, then next spring the old vines may be spaded in to make paths to stand in while picking the fruit. If one lias a strawberry bed away from the garden, and it has been kept clean of grass and weeds, it may be left over another sea-on without cleaning out; and it, will perhaps furnish half a crop another season without expense, except the use of the land; but if in the garden, this should never be done, as it idls the ground with weed seeds, which will take many years to get out. A strawberry bed in the garden should under no circumstances be per mitted to stand over the second year without being kept as clean of weeds as it is the first year. We know that the temptation is great to let it stand, hoping to have time to clean it out, which in many cases never comes. The decision should be made within two weeks after the crop is gathered; and if it is decided to let it stand another year the work of cleaning out should be commenced at once. Massachusetts Plouuhman. A Hardshell Parable. There are other kinds of liquors than those drank at bars, as an old Hardshell minister once alluded to in this manner: “There’s the likker of mallis that many of you drinks to the drugs, but you’re sure to sweeten it with the sugar of self justification. There's the likker of avris that some keeps behind the curfiiin for constant use, but they always has it well mixt with the sweeten’ uv prudence and ekonimy.

DALTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.3, 1882. Prairie “Signs.” About two miles from town he sud denly checked his horse, gazed intently on the ground and said: “ Some fellow has lost his saddle-horse here this morn ing-” There was no advertisement on any of the trees offering a reward for a lost horse, and as there was no lost horse in sight we were at a loss to understand how, if a horse was lost, our friend could know so much about it. The doctor inquired: “How do you know that a horse has been lost?” “1 see his tracks.” “Are there not hundreds of horses pasturing on the prairies, and how do you know that this is not the track of one of them?” “ Because he is shod, and the horses herding on the prairies do not wear shoes.” “How do you know that he is a saddle-horse and lost?” “ 1 see a rope track alongside his trail; the horse has a saddle on, and the rope hangs from the horn of the saddle. ’ ’ “But why may he not be a horse that some one has ridden over this way this morning, and why do you insist that it is lost?” “ Because, if a man had been on his back lie would have ridden him on a straight course, but this horse has moved from side to side of the road as he strolled along, and that is a plain sign that he grazed as he went and that he had no rider.” ‘ ‘ After that it would not surprise me,” said the doctor, “if you were to tell us the age of the horse, and the name of the owner.” “ Well, that would not be very hard to do. There are signs that have told me the owner’s name, and there are other signs that, if 1 had time to exam ine, would tell me his age. 1 know he is one of old man Pendegrast's horses. Pendegrast has a large bunch of horses down in the bottom, and an old nigger down there does all his shoeing, and shoes no other horses except his. So we know his shoe track just the same as we know' his brand.” After this conviction on circumstan tial evidence it would not have seemed extraordin-by if the Remnant had given us his opinion of the life and character of our great-grandmothers, drawing his conclusions from an examination of some of our physical peculiarities. It is wonderful how expert these men become in reading what they call “signs” on the prairie or in the woods. No sign escapes their practiced eye; all manner of tracks, trailsand marks are to them data on which to base conclu sions. The peculiar movement of an animal will indicate the presence of some other animal in the neighbor hood. A broken limb of a tree, a crushed weed, the debris around a camp-fire, the flight of a buzzard, and other such signs are to the cow-boy and the frontiersman what the sign-boards and advertisements are to people who live in cities. Te.ras tUfthien. The Channel Tunnel. Some interesting observations on the Channel Tunnel have been communi cated to the French Academy of Sci ences by M. Daubree. After referring to the three stages of the work, the sci entific researches, the preparatory op erations, and the execution of the pro ject, he points out that while the Rouen chalk is water-bearing in its upper strata it is only slightly so in its lower beds. The French Association have dug two wells at Sangatte, call about nine ty-five yards deep, and have begun to run two galleries from them toward Shakespeare’s Cliff under the sea. In one of these galleries, at a depth of sixty seven-tenths yards below the French hydrographic bench mark, the Beaumont perforator will be at work, and in the other the ma chine of Mr. Brunton will be employed. On the English side the under-channel gallery begins at a depth of about thir ty-two yards below the French hydro graphic bench-mark, thanks to the drier nature of the chalk near the surface, and runs under the sea at a descending slope of one in eighty. This gallery is now nearly a mile long under high water mark, and no water has entered it as yet. The mass of the rock through which the tunnel is bored is quite dry, but from time to time little tunnels of water are met with issuing from cracks in the rock. The cylindrical form of bore adopted bv Colonel Beaumont has an advantage under these circumstan ces, as it allows of the gallery being in sulated from these trieklings by moans of an iron lining formed of rings having a diameter equal to that of the gallery. These rings are in five segments, bound together by ribs, through which pass bolts which connect the segments to gether, and each ring to the next ones. When a water fissure is encountered, one or more of these rings are placed over it so as to mask it completely. At first four segments are put into position and then the fifth or key is added. The last joint is tightened by a band of thin sheet iron inserted into it. When the spring from the rock is tolerably strong it is luted with a cement containing red lead before the rings are placed over it If the fissure is oblique a sort of tube has to be built up of the rings until it ik masked, but half an hour serves to place a ring into position. Owing to the slope of the gallery the borers recently at tained a depth of fifty-six yards below the French bench-mark. At this point the depth of low w ater is five and one half yards, so that the thickness of strata between the tunnel and the sea bottom was there about fifty yards.— Scientific American. - There are four nickel mines in the United .’states, nil of which are exceed ingly profitable. Why a Kerosene Lamp Bursts. Girls, as well as boys, need to under stand about kerosene explosions. A great many fatal accidents happen from trying to pour a little kerosene on the fire to make it kindle better, also by pouring oil into a lamp while it is light ed. Most persons suppose that it is the kerosene itself which explodes, and that if they are very careful to keep the oil itself from being touched by the lire or the light there will be no danger. But this is not so. If a can or a lamp is left about half full of kerosene oil the oil will dry up—that is, “evaporate”—a little and will form, by mingling with the air in the upper part, a very explo sive gas. You cannot see this gas any more than you can see air. But if it is disturbed and driven out, and a blaze reaches it, there will be a terrible explo sion, although the blaze did not touch the oil. There are several other liquids used in houses and workshops which will produce an explosive vapor in this way. Benzine is one; burning fluid is another; and naphtha, alcohol, ether, chloroform mav do the same thing. In a New York workshop lately, there was a can of benzine, or gasoline, stand ing on the floor. A boy sixteen years old lighted a cigarette, and threw the burning match on the floor close to the can. He did not dream there was any danger, because the liquid was corked up in the can. But there was a great explosion, and he was badly hurt. This seems very mysterious. The probabil ity is that the can had been standing there a good while and a good deal of vapor had formed, some of which had leaked out around the stopper and was hanging in a sort of invisible cloud over and around the can; and this cloud, w'hen the match struck it, exploded. Suppose a girl tries to fill a kerosene lamp without first blowing it out. Os course the lamp is nearly empty or she would not care to fill it. This empty space is filled with a cloud of explosive vapor arising from the oil in the lamp. When she pushes the nozzle of the can into the lamp at the top, and begins to pour, the oil, running into the lamp, tills the empty space and pushes the cloud of explosive vapor up; the vapor is obliged to pour out over the edges of the lamp, at the top, into the room out side. Os course it strikes against the blazing wick w hich the girl is holding down by one side. The blaze of the wick sets the invisible cloud of vapor afire, and there is an explosion which ignites the oil and scatters it over her clothes and over the furniture of the room. This is the way in which a ker osene lamp bursts. The same thing may happen when a girl pours the oil over the fire in the range or stove, if there is a cloud of explosive vapor in the upper part of the can, or if the stove is hot enough to vaporize quickly some of the oil as it falls. Remember that it is not the oil but the invisible vapor which explodes. Taking care of the oil will not protect you. 'There is no safety ex cept in the rule: Never pour oil on a lighted fire or into a lighted lamp.— Christian Union. T’lie Oldest inhabitant. William Bassett, an aged negro living in Caraden, N. J., last May celebrated his 126th birthday, and is without doubt the “oldest inhabitant” of the new world. Bassett was born in Delaware in 1755, where his parents were slaves, for many years owned by the Bayard family. During the Revolution Bassett, then a young man of twenty-one or twenty-two, was working for a farmer by the name of Wilson. While there he married, and became the father of a large family, each member of whom he has outlived. Upon the death of his wife Bassett married again. When the war broke out in 1812 he became a body servant to Col. Morris, of Jackson’s army, whom he accompanied to the front at New Orleans. He married his third wife upon his return from the South, and had by her quite a numerous family, all but one of whom died prior to the civil war. For the last eighteen years he has been taken care of by his children and grandchildren, spending the time between Camden and Moores town, to and from which places he has traveled on foot many a time. The last trip was made early in the fall of 1884. His death is now looked for daily. Chinese as Printers. A Chinaman offers his services to the publisher of a monthly paper in this city, to set up all the forms of his paper, send him proofs of each article, and make the corrections marked in the proofs when returned, and convey the forms to and from the press-room for seventy-five cents a column. 'I here are forty-eight columns in the paper, each column twenty and one half inches long by two and one-quarter inches wide. The offer was declined, whereupon the Chinaman said he was doing the same work for two other periodical in the city. They learned the business in Hong Kong and Canton, where papers are published in the English tongue, and where China men are drilled into the work on account of the scarcity of white labor.— San Francisco Bulletin. —A correspondent says Mr. G. N. Boyer, a Carillon tradesman, was going to bathe in the Ottawa, near the old canal, on Wednesday morning, and just as he entered the water a huge fish seized his foot. The water was red dened with blood, but with the assist ance of bystanders the fish was made to let go, and Mr. Boyer was, with some difficulty, able to go home. In the even ing the monster was caught with a less interesting bait, and turns out, says the correspondent, to be a I weighing 47 1-2 younds.— Montreal HV j ncss. A Four Hundred Miles Walk by Six Girls. To-day the party of six girls who started about the first of the month to walk all over North Carolina arrived at Laurenburg, where their walk ends. They are all well and in good spirits, and, though much sunburned, are as comely a set of lady pedestrians as ever undertook a long tramp. They started in the neighborhood of Hendersonville nearly a month ago upon what was re garded by their friends as a foolish scheme to walk over North Carolina and see the principal points of interest in the State, ami to pay special attention to the mountains. Three of the girls were at school when the project was first agreed upon, and the other three who agreed to join them were friends. They made all their arrangements for the proposed journey as quietly as pos sible, for they knew attempts would be made to dissuade them from the under taking. Their friends were taken com pletely by surprise when they were told but a day or two before the commence ment of the walk of the intention to tramp over the State without any es cort. To the suggestions that going alone and with no one to protect them they would subject themselves to insult, they replied that they were willing to make the attempt, and they averred to day that from first to last they had never received one rude word or rough jest from any one, their only grievances being that once or twice some persons of their sex attempted to prevent them from continuing their walk by charac terizing such an undertaking as immod est and unladylike. One old lady of fered to be their chaperone if they per sisted in their purpose, but the would be chaperone wanted to go in a buggy, and when she learned that they expect ed to tramp over mountains where there were no roads, she backed out, al though they mischievously gave her an invitation to join. On the first week of their trip they suffered much from exhaustion, and the youngest and frailest of the party, Miss Murdock, had to stop and rest by reason of severely-blistered feet. It was feared that she would have to abandon the trip, but she pushed on nobly, and after the eighth day she began to gain strength, and is now one of the health iest of the fair tramps. Her weight when she started was but ninety-two pounds, and she turned the scales to day at 103 pounds. All save two of the walkers fattened after the first week, while two who were inclined to obesity were pulled down twelve and eighteen pounds. Their record shows that they made 420 miles. They started out with the expectation of making between 500 and 600. Each walker wore a pair of red-leather walking-shoes, and wore short walking-dresses, and carried strong stall’s in their hands and knap sacks upon their shoulders, in which were packed hammocks and other necessary articles. They also wore very broad-brimmed hats, which, how ever, do not seem to have protected their complexions, for they are all burned brown. Two of the parties carried pistols to protect them from ac cidental incursions of wild-cats and bears. Much of the time they slept in the open air in their hammocks under canvas coverlets, which were used to shield them from heavy dews and rain. One night, ten days ago, apprehending a severe storm, they camped in a grave- yard and slept between the graves. Another night, in the mountains, they were thrown into consternation by the appearance of a bear, but the beast be ing as frightened as they were, fled without offering to molest them. In the mountains they were in gre&t terror of rattle-snakes, but did not encounter any of the reptiles. Along their route they were treated kindly, many of the hos pitable farmers entertaining' them, hut they shunned notoriety and avoided all the towns and villages, frequently going some distance out of their way I'ather than meet crowds. A novel featur? of their undertaking was the keepii g of what they called their log-bock. In this the record of their impressions and adventures were kept, each taking her turn. The book contains 1,246 closely written pages Although frequently offered vehicles, they always declined, saying that they started with the deter mination of walking. They spent three days in exploring the celebrated Bald Mountains whose mysterious rumblings some years ago created so much excite ment. They not only made the difficult ascent to the top, but went into one of the crevices, which they examined mi nutely, with the aim of discovering what caused the strange sounds in the interior. The novel trip of the six young ladies has been much talked about, but as they had avoided the crowded thoroughfares they were igno rant of the interest taken in them, and were much astonished ami slightly in sulted when they learned that bets had been made by certain sporting men that they would not make four hundred miles in the month. The parties arc modest and shun notoriety. They aver they end the trip now because three of their number will begin their school days early in September, but they assert their determination to walk over the unexplored portion of the State next summer. They leave to-morrow by rail for their homes, near Hendersonville. — Monroe (N. C.) Cor. Chicago limes.

A ease was before the English law courts a few days ago which recalls Fanny Kemble’s experience with the young lawyer who persisted in calling upon her and Loring her to death tor no object that she could see until he sent in his bill, charging for each visit as a consultation; in fact, it was rather worse than her ease, since there does not seem to have been any plea made that the offender was about to get mar ried and found furnishing a house very expensive.
