The Empress Of Austria

The Empress of Austria is ENJOYING
the invigOrating air and fine scenery
of the Tyrolese Alps. Her health
seems to be reestablished. She is
naturally joyous. But the misfOrt-
unes of her husbands relations, the
political perturbatiOns through which
Austria has passed, and an intense
sympathy with human suffering have
infused into her a pensive strain
She has a keen sense of the beautiful,
and paints and sings like poet and
an artist. The personal appearance of
the Empress corresponds with her
delicate, loving, high-strung nature.
Her tall form is beautifully mould
ed, her eyes are large and expressive,
and speak often things which, eoreet-
ly, etiquette forbid her.tOngue to ut
ter. Her complexion is exquisitely
transparent. / am assured by her
Russian admirer that her rich brown
hair sweeps the ground when she lets
it fall over her shoulders to dry in
Issuing from the bath. Last year, at
Kissengen, Jew, mistaking her for
somebody else, as she was walking in
the envirOns of the town, after bath
ing, offered her a-large salary if she
would go with him to Paris and Lon
don and let him tell his customers that
she was in the habit of using some
capillary wash he sells. Bavarian
girls, whatever may be the reason,
have the finest hair in Europe. There
is in the town, where the fair Aus
trian Empress passed her childhood,
the monument of a girl who died of
having too much of it. tits stated in
her epitaph that the nOurishment of
her body was absorbed by the eapilI-
ary vessels, and that her hair in the
short space of ten months grew, on
its being shaved, to the extraordinary
length of three yards.

The Lazy Man.

The lazy man, says the ''Fat Con-
tribuitor," is almost always good ma
tured. He never flies into a passion.
He might crawl into one, if that were
possible but the idea of his flying into
anything is prepOsterOus.
Who ever heard of a lazy man
breaking into n bank, where a crow
bar had to be used, or drilling into a
safe? Nobody. Not that ne might
covet his neighbours goods contained
crOwbar and drills would always deter
him from actually committing bur-
glary. He never runs away with his
neighbor's wife, simply on account of
the horror he has of running. If he
is ever known to run, it is tO-run to
seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbOr, for
it would be too much eXertiOn; but
he can lie at bar-rOOm all day.
He is of inestimable service TO bill
lizard saloon, keeping the chairs warm
and watching the game, for a few
would cane to play where there are no
spectators. The fact that he does this
without pay, day in and day out,
shows the unselfishness of his nature.
What an industrious man, who con-
siders himself worth something,
would want pay for, the lazy man
generally does for nothing, showing a
freedom from mercenary motives that
should 90 far to his credit.
The lazy man never gets up revOlu-
tiOns, Instructions or other popular
excitements, and don't make 4 nui-
sanee of himself by tramping around
the country, making incendiary
speeches to promote public discomfort.
In his own neighborhood he is new
er a busy-bOdy in other people af-
fairs, the very idea of being a busy
body in anything would drive him
out of his head BY the way, if ne
ever got out of his head, you would
have to drive him out, for ne wouldn't
have energy enough to go out of his
own accord
No lazy man ever ran mad If he
went crazy, it was because he couldn't
go anywhere else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of
peaceful neighbOrs by putting up fac
tories, furnaces and other abomina-
tiOns.

How the YO Semitic Valley was Formed.

How was this curious freak of ma
ture formed? is question that every
visitor at least will ask. 1t is a puz-
zle for the imagination, and battles
even the scientific student. Prof.
Whitney, of the State survey, discuss
es the question deliberately in his ad-
mirable volume on the YO Semitic,
the big trees, and the high Sieras,
which, with its maps, should be the
companion of every one who visits
those regions. He rejects the idea of
water having having worn it out, or
that it was the work Of glacier, but
concludes, as the only practicable
suppOsitiOn, that the bottom dropped
out! There is no other way of account
ing for what is gone but that it is
sunk below. It is not carried down
stream; it does not remain in the val
ley-there would be no valley if it
did; there are but comparatively
small deposits of rock in the valley
under the walls, no more than the
waste by frost and ice and water of a
few generations at the most; and, in
deed, there seems no other suppOsition
that meets the mystery than that the
missing rocks are swallowed up be-
low. 1t wnEld appear, too, as if the
ehasm had not been long filled up to
its present point, and that originally,
and until within a comparatively re-
cent period, the whole valley was q
great, deep lake. This is a peculiar
theory-it applies but rarely to the
strange forms of nature scattered over
the earth'S surface-but the YO Semitic
is peculiar phenomenon: it justifies
it, indeed demands peculiar explana-
ton, and no other fits it so reasonably
as this.

Saturday Night.

Saturday night makes the people
human-sets their hearts to beating
softly, as they used to do before the
world turned them into war drums,
and Jared them to pieces with tattOOs.
The ledger closes with a clash; the
irOn-dOor vaults come too with bang;
up 90 the shutters with a will; click
goes the key in the lock. 1t is Satur-
day night, and business breathes free
again. HOmeward no The door that
has been ajar all the week gently
closes behind him; the world is all
shut out. Shut out? ? Shut in rather.
Here are his treasures after all, and
not in the vault, and not in the book
save the record Of the old family
Bible-and not in the bank.
Maybe you are a bachelor frosty
and forty. Then, poor fellow! Satur-
day night is nothing to you, Just as
you are nothing to anybody. Get a
wifel blue-eyed or black-eyed, but
above all true-eyed. Get little home
no matter how little-and a little
sofa, just hold two or two and a half,
and then get the two or two and half
in it of Saturday night, and then
read this paragraph by the light of
your wife's eyes, and thank God and
take courage.

ApprentieeShiBS.

From the Providence JOurnal-l
The distinctions, some natural and
some artificial, that are. in the way of
apprenticeship, are among the seri-
Gus obstacles to material prosperity.
The old familiar rule, by which a boy
learned a good trade, and after some
chatting under wholesome discipline,
came out q good journeyman, has been
almost wholly abandoned, and the
boys that go into mechanical trades
enjoy themselves rather upon that
kind of work which suits their pres
ent fancy, and which will yield the
best immediate return, than upon that
which will qualify them for excel
lence in the trade by which they eX-
pect to get their living, and on which
they rely for the means of advancing
themselves.
Added to the diSinelinatiOn on the
part of the boys to regular and severe
training, and the willingness of mas
ter wOrkmen to consult the present
advantage of both rather than the
ultimate good of the apprentices, is
the combination in many trades to
keep down the number of apprentices
in order to maintain a monopoly of
the employment. Many bright and
intelligent boys, fresh from the COM
mon schools, are anxious to learn
trades, which they cannot enter upon
because those who control them have
limited the number Ofapprentices, not
by the demand for employment, not
by the inclination of the young men,
but for the single purpose of keeping
up wages.
This artificial way of maintaining
prices are sure to fail in the end. 1t
is a resistance to the laws of trade,
which grow out of the laws of nature.
In some way or other, by immigra-
ton, or by outside instruction, the
necessary amount of skilled labor to
meet the legitimate demand of the
will be provided, and the
eXclusiveness of those who
to keep down the supply, and
then to dwarf the growth of the eOun-
try, will leave them in the minority, |
in the very trades of which they have |
to create mOnOpOlies.
Every American boy has right to /
learn whatever honest trade his own |
under his fathers direc- |
ton, may lead him to. And when |
he has learned it, any man has right |
to offer him employment, and he has |
4 right to accept it. All combina-
tiOns that infringe upon these, are |
against the plainest rights of individu- /
ais and the plainest interests of the |

From the Gennessee (Il.) Republic
An Illinois Farmer.

We frequently see accounts in the
I papers of men who are noted for their
/ genius, talents, and whatever they
may have accomplished above the av-
erage of men generally. We see no.
tices of.miners and farmers in CalifOr-
mia, in Texas, and other States, who
have done big things; we see notices
of men who have grown rich in man.
ufacturing and real estate speculatiOns
| in the East and elsewhere. Scarce a
paper does not puff somebody for
some wonderful feat in some direction.
We do not recOllect to have seen any
notice in the papers of one of the
greatest men the country hasprOduced.
We mean John r. Alexander, of Nor
gan county, ILL.,, who commenced bus
/ mess for himself with little capital or
other advantages above the average of
men. He is a plain, hOmespun far
mer; tall, good looking, and and easy
in manners, without the least particle
of style in words or acts.
1t is rather interesting to watch The
movements of such a man at Spring
field or Chicago, among the pOpinjays
and self-constituted leaders of society
who are greatly elevated in their own
cOnceit. Mr.. Alexander has been
farming in Illinois good many years,
and has been very successful. His
farm now comprises about so, 200 acres,
mostly under improvement. This is
about one township and half-about
nine miles square-and all good land.
He has now about {, 900 acres of grow
ing corn, and from ], 500 to 1000 acres
of grass ready for the mower.
He is now feeding about 10, 600 head
of cattle, and buys and ships East
from Chicago from 1000 to 1000 head
of cattle every week. He has risen to
this great prominence by his own tai
ent, energy and integrity. His bus
iness each and every year amounts to
millions of dollars, and is entirely
legitimate, adding to his own wealth
and the welfare of the State.
We may at some other time give in
more detail a history of Mr.. Alexan-
der and his operations-not that he
needs any notice, but as an example
to the young to 60 and do likewise in
stead of going into the stores and Of
fees, to avoid soiling their fingers,
the notion that farming is not so gem
teel and profitable.
We may do so for another reason,
and that is the fact that young as we'll
as the older people nowadays, get
their notions of things generally from
the newspapers. The papers for some
reason or other, perhaps the force of
circumstances more than anything
else, have much to say of manufac
lures, lawyers, preachers, bankers,
and other professional and trafiicking
characters, and but very little to say
of farming and farmers. We think.
it profitable to present, rs an offset to
about ten thousand politicians and
other characters who occupy the col
umns of newspapers, one such man
as John T. Alexander.

A Shower Of Meat.

From the Los Angeles Cali News Aug. 81 |
Mr.. Parker, an old and respected
citizen of Los NietOs township, eX-
hibited to us yesterday a number of
pieces of meat that fell on the farm of
j. Hudson, in that township, at
twelve o'clock NJ, on Sunday last
From what we can learn it was a
shower of meat and blood similar to
that reported in Santa Clara county
some months ago, covering an area Of
about two acres of ground. Some ten
or more persons were at the house Of
Mr.. Hudson, preparing for the funeral
of child, and were startled by the
fall of meat and blood that lasted
three minutes, covering the blades of
corn and leaving them red. The
blood that lodged upon the corn blades
and grass was mixed with a short fine
hair resembling the outer coating of
furred animals. The meat, which
was found over the entire two acres,
was in pieces ranging from fine ar
ticles to strips of six and eight inches
in length, and had the appearance of
being freshly torn from some animal
or animals. Mr.. Parker exhibited to
us several pieces OF the meat, varying
from one to six inches in length, one
of which appeared to be the lights of
some animal; another was liver; and
another picked up by a gentleman
present, was the lower part of heart.
in perfect shape, and about one and
half inches long. y large quantity
of meat was gathered up and preser-
we'd by different parties. The day was
perfectly clear, and the sun was shin
ing brightly, and although the shower
of meat and blood appeared to come
from the coast, there was no percepta-
BILE breeze at the time. The occur
ence naturally caused considerable
excitement among those present, and
the hope is freely INDUCED in that
science will offer some reason for this
very singular phenomenon.
The NeiCs of the 4th SAYS:
Yesterday our sanctum was besieg-
ed by persons desiring to see a speci-
men of the meat which is said to have
fallen last Sunday, on the ranch Of
Mr.. Hudson, near Los NietO. We
can only say. we have it not. a gem
tleman who brought some of it to
town, on Monday, after showing it to
a number of persons on the street,
started with his "rare specimens" for
the NelUs office. We met him on the
way, looking attentively at his selee-
tions, but most decidedly declined his
generous offer of a title in fee simple.
1t would afford us great pleasure to
furnish all with q ''sight," but owing
to a peculiar flavor with which we
have not yet become fully aecustom-
ed, we have been compelled to fOregO
the pleasure. That the meat fell We
cannot doubt. Even the parsons of
the neighbOrhoOd are willing tOvOuch
for that. Whence it came, we dare
not even conjecture.

The American Science Association
Interesting PAPER. ---------


SALEM. August 20.-AmOngth the pa
pers read before the American Science
Association to-day was one on the
longevity of ships and on the values
OF standard monetary units, by Prof.
Z. b. Elliott, of Washington. An
other was read on trichina spiralis by
DIR. ]. B. Baker OF Canada. Prof.
Agassiz did not want the people to
abstain from one kind of flesh food
more than another, for they all con-
tain parasites which are harmless
when the food is properly cooked
He was certain that in eating fish We
swallowed millions of them.
DIR. Tyson said that trichina had
been discovered in beef All who
spoke on the subject agreed that prop
erly cooked food was a preventive
of bad results.
Another paper was upon the distri-
button of coal, iron, and precious
metals in China. 1t was read by Prof
A. S. Beckmore, who explored large
section of the empire in 1866. He
| travelled inland more than two thOus-
and miles by boat, a journey that
could have been accomplished in one
boat had it been made in the rainy
season, so complete are the inland
water connections. He visited and
explored the coal mines within thirty
five miles of Pekin, where machinery
is never used. The coal, which is
good anthracite, and has been used
since 1890, is taken to the great city on
the backs of animals, where it is
/ ground to dust and mixed with clay

the Chinese authorities discourage the
mining oft.
In the evening DR.. B. A. Gould, of
Cambridge, President of the last an
nual session, delivered his valedietory
address in the Tabernacle church, af-
ter which Mrs. Walcott held a levee
at her residence. An invitation has
been extended to the association by
Mayor Shurtliff to visit the public in
stitutions of Boston. e..-

MICHAEL ANGELO -Pre-eminent
as a painter, sculptor and architect,
was born in Tuscany, 1474, and nursed
by the wife of a sculptor, so that he is
said to have sucked in his genius with
his very milk, and indeed it seemed
so, for one Of his boy rivals, ineensed
by jealousy, once struck him heavy
blow on the nose, the mark of which
he carried to the grave. His great
patron was the famous Lorenzo de
Medicus, with whom he fled to BOlog-
ma from Florence, during the troubles
About this time he buried the statue
of a Cupid, which was soon dug uD.
and thought by great Cardinal TO be
valuable antique, until Angelo fitted
to it lost arm, which he had broken
off when he finished the statue, and
kept by him for this purpose, and thus
proved it TO be his own work. HIS
most celebrated piece is 1.-The last
Judgement, in which a Cardinal.
whom he hated, was made 10 fipure
eOnspieiOusly among the damned
He was without a rival as an archj-
tect, and his genius in this line was
made immortal in Florence; and i'm
st. Peters, at Rome, which, after civ
ing to the gigantic work fifteen wears
unpaid labor. He was also an elegant
poet. He died in 1864, aged ninety
years.
