A LUDlcRoUs BAPTISM. M.-Recently in Lon
don a deaf woman brought her infant to
church to have him baptised, and while she
was standing near the font she thought she
would keep him quiet by feeding him from a
bottle of milk. While the child was still
taking its milk, the mother was summoned
to the font. In her agitation she drew the
bottle from the babe mouth hurriedly, when
the nozzle came off and the milk was spilled
upon the child's new clothes. When the
clergyman took the child in his arms, he
looked down at it and asked the mother
what name should be given it. She, with
her mind troubled about the accident thought
he was asking how the clothing became soil
ed, SO she answered, Nozzle come off. "
Rather surprised, he asked again for the
name, and she, thinking he did not under
stand her, bawled out, Nozzle come off,
say" Whereupon the astonished divine
sprinkled water upon the chd's head. and
said, "Nozzle come off Parkinson, l baptize
thee," etc.

OPPORTUNITY.
BY MANY n. PRESCO

She leaned out from the lattice
At the budding of the MORN
The sun was on the hill-tops,
The dew was on the thorn;
The willful, climbing roses
Above her wore a crown,
And crowned her the queen OF maidens
AS he came riding down.
He checked his horses gallop,
And fingered by the way,
Smiling and gazing upon her.
Loath to go and loath to stay;
For he thought ''Since the sweet tomorrow
Waits on my delay,
Prithee why should l sorrow
For flower that blooms always?
Where she blossoms surely can find her,
Or ever the season takes flight,
Blushing and smiling behind her
Lattice, morning and night.
Shall squander life's early hour,
Ere the dew is dry on the May,
In reaching my hand for flower
That may be plucked any day!'
So he passed. And the sunshine passed with
him.
And the dew dried up on the thorn,
And the roses dropped all their petals,
That had crowned her the queen at morn;
But once when his heart was tried,
And life Of its glory seemed shorn.
He turned him again to her lattice.
But she and the roses were gone!

PKuss1AN Sour TABLETS. In tie war be-
tween Prussia and France, it was the excel
ence of the German army commissary de
partment as we'll as the skill Of Moltke and
his subordinates which assured victory to the
Prussians Some time since we spoke of
the Prussan war sausage, and now we find
in the Chemical Ne,cs a recipe for making
the soup tablet which was extensively used
in the German army. The formula is as
follows: Take eleven parts by weight OF
good suet, melt it in an iron pan, and make
it very hot, so as to become brown; add,
while keeping the fat stirred. eighteen parts
of rye meal, and continue heating and stir
ring so as to make the mass brown; add
then four parts of dried salt and two parts of
coarsely pulverized caraway seed. The
mixture is then poured into tin pans some
what like those used for making chocolate
into cakes The cakes have the appearance
of chocolate, and are chiefly intended for the
use of soldiers while in the field. A quantity
of about one ounce of this preparation is suf-
ficent to yield, when boiled with some wa
ter, ration of good soup, and in case of
need, the cakes, being agreeable to the taste,
may be eaten raw"

A YOUNG man wrote to paper, asking
whether it would be advisable for him to
marry "young and tender angel, who had
never done her own washing and dressmak-
ing" In reply, the editor advised him to
do SO by all means, and mentioned similar
case in his own experience, where the bride
had never done her own washing, but after
marriage she became SO fond OF the washtub
as not only to work for her own family, but
for several families among her acquaintance.

CARE OF THE HAm.--Freguent brushing
and washing once week with teaspoon
full of liquid ammonia in a bowlful of warm
water, is said to be the best treatment pos
sible for the hair. If any stimuant is re-
quired, half an ounce of dry ammonia, rubbed
into a pint of olive oil, is the finest dressing
to be made, and prevents hair from turning
gray. if anything will, and urges its growth.

INCREASE OF PoPU1AT1oN.-1h he increase
of population in the United States for the 10
years between 1860 aud 1870, has been l.
004,1 ,1S8. ln Great Britain, during the
same period, the increase was 2,537 ,005-
showing a difference in favor of the United
States of 4, ,4G6, 1913. Our civil war, which
occurred in the meantime, cost the United
States near half million of lives. The only
loss sustained by Great Britain was from
emigration, which has assumed proportions
of great magnitude, and which, if it should
continue in the same ratio, as it is very likely
to do, will in the next decade make an al
most inconceivable change in the moral
power, as well as the physical aspects, of
our country. The causes at work in the
Old World to hasten this result ~ amer

oppressed, freedom. Here they can obtain

from the burdens of enforced taxation, and
here the avenues of almost certain, and
sometimes sudden, wealth are open to
them. With such inducements, the i'm
migration to our shores may be expected to
increase largely from year to year, until, as
has been said by writer on the subject,
"In quarter of century there will be

NUMBER 5.
HYDRAULIC MINING.

Mr.. Petee, of the Geological Survey Of.
this State, makes an estimate regarding the
placer mines of Gold Run district. He esti.
mates that the superficial area of the placers
is $50 acres; that about one-half has been
bedrock has been reached at only one ex-
tremity; that about 43 ,OC0 eco cubic yards
of dirt have been removed by hydraulic pro-
cess; and that the gross product of the dis
trct, taken from statistics, is 50 600, GOO.
The average yield, therefore, has been but
four and /. lalf cents per cubic yard of earth,
and yet hydraulic mining has been carried
on to large profit. In this work only the
surface dirt has been removed, there being
from one to two hundred feet Of gravel and
cement underlying the excavation. This is
expected to be much richer, and to bring up
the everage yield, aud at the same time put
larger profits into the pockets of the opera
tors.
This statement is suggestive of the value
of hydraulic mining. In cubic yard there
are twenty-seven solid feet. In common
wagon load there are thirty-two feet. In
this Gold Run dirt there was then about So
cents to the wagon load. Yet forty-three
million cubic yards, yielding two million Of
dollars, have been worked to profit, and
the principal cost in this operation, probably,
was the water. There are but few portions
of tie mining district OF California that will
not yield 81 cents to the cart load, and the
estimate above given would make it appear
that it only needs capital, or what is equiva-
lent, combination of labor, to bring in wa
ter for hydraulicng, to ensure certain re-

A BEAUTIFUL AND EFFECTIVE ALI

A BEAUTIFUL AND EFFECTIVE ALLEaoRY.
Mr. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, was at one
time defending man who had been indicted
for capital offence After an elaborate
and powerful defence, he closed his effort
with the following striking and beautiful al
legory:
I" When God in his eternal council con.
ceved the thought of mans creation, he
called the three ministers who constantly
wait upon the throne-Justice, Truth and
Mercy-and thus addressed them: Shall
we make man?' Then said Justice: 'Oh,
God, make him not, for he will trampe upon
the laws. Truth made answer also: ooh,
Cod, make him not, for he will pollute thy
sanctuaries.' But Mercy, dropping upon
her knees, and looking up through her tears,
exclained: 'Oh, God, make him; | vii.
watch over him with my care through ali
The dark paths which he may have to tread.
Then God made man, and said to him, 'Oh,
man, thou art the clild of Mercy; 60 and
deal with thy brother.
The jury, when he had finished, was
drowned in tears, and, against evidence,
and what must have been their own convic-
tions, brought in verdict of not guilty.

SINGULAR SUICIDE. Il he indianapolis Peo-
pie gives the following account Of most sim
gular suicide which occurred short distance
east of the city, on Tuesday week:
ga farmer was thrashing his grain, by
steam power, near the roadside, when
well dressed stranger drove up in buggy,
got out, tied his horse, and came up to the
machine. He first went to the engineer,
and asked the privilege of feeding the ma
chine for while, and was referred to the
feeder. The feeder, seeing no reason to re-
fuse letting him try his hand, yielded his
post, which the stranger filed with ability.
After running a short time, he looked to the
engineer for more steam, which the engineer
put on; and then, while the machine was
going at lightning speed, he motioned the
man handling sheaves to stop, and as soon
as the teeth were clear he doubled up bis
arms and threw himself headforemost into
the thrasher before the ho ror stricken OBJ
servers had an idea of his intention. He
was literally torn in pieces in an instant. No
clue to his identity could be discovered; his
pocketbook contained $50, but nothing in
the way of papers. The citizens are still in
the dark as regards the name Of the man or
the cause of his making way with himself"

The Three Flags.

The Paris Ffgdro publishes the follow ing letter, the authenticity of which it guarantees, left by 6ourgeois at the Rue Sainte-Appolline for his portress, the said bourgeois having left Paris on the very day of the affair of the cannons at the Butte Montmartre.
 My Dear Madame Dupont. On mature consideration, I had rather, having ex- plained them to you, leave your instruc- tions in writing as to your conduct in any event which may take place during my absence. In the first place, you will yourself keep the key of the cellar which contains wine and wood, and that of my apartments. In dining-room you will find three rolls upon the table, numbered 1, 2, and 3. If the mob come and make barricade in the Rue Sainte- Appolline, near the house, you will in stantly go up to my rooms, open the roll No. 1, and take out the red flag contain ed therein, you will fasten it to the stick which I have myself tied to the balcony ; there are hooks in the stuff, you will only have to fasten them on. If the mob threatens my apartments you tell them that I am well-known for friend of the people, and that I offer them brandy to drink my health and wood to make fire at night in the barricade. If the barricade is taken by the French, you will hastily take away the red flag, and instantly replace it by the flag No. 2, which is tri-color you will offer wine to the soldiers, and give them wood if they bivouac in the quarter. If the Prussians meddle in the matter, you will hide Nos. 1 and 2. and hook on No. 3, which is a Prussian flag. You will have champagne and wood. I think I need say no more, and I salute you.-Signed, L.. D.

A FAMILY OF SUFFERERS find in a Milwaukee paper the story of young man who, seven years ago, was taken prisoner by the Black Feet Indians, at the St. Cloud massacre, the savages kill ing his fathers family except himself and one of his sisters, with almost nn- paralleled barbarity. The Indians took the boy and his sister away, and with a tomahawk cut off his left arm, while with knife they nearly severed the girls ears. The children were separated, and they have never met since The boy remained under close surveillance for seven years, and has just managed to escape. He is represented to be an honest, simple Frenchman, bearing upon his body the marks of his terrible tor lures. He wept when he described the barbarous murder of his father, mother, and two sisters.

Fashion Notes.

Clam-bakes are e,a regle at the sea-shore just at present.
 The latest style at large weddings is not to display the presents.
 Costumes for country wear are not so long as those for the street.
 Very pretty bracelets are wide bands of silver, neatly chased and enamelled.
 The ight-colored tortoise-shell is pre- ferable for earrings and bandeaux for the hair. IA ....
 A new style of shoe has just made its appearance, and is called the "Croquet- buskin."
 A new style of hat for gentlemen is a half high beaver, with wide brown ribbon band.
 A lady who gave a party recently had engraved in the corner of the invitations the words f' small and early"
 A new material for breakfast costumes is called batiste and resembles linen, being only little thicker.
 Ladies wear blue and gray veils tied around their neck as D. otection from the sun, besides being very becoming
 Plain belts are worn with dresses, with the addition of several loops of narrow ribbon at the back of the waist
 Very handsome sets of jewelry are of chrysoprase' in dull gold setting, the stone being light green with white back. -.
 A large seal ring on the little finger of lady's hand is considered quite conenee H fdut. Gentlemen wear theirs on the third finger usually.
 Bonnets for next Fall and Winter are to have wide box-plaited curtain or cape at the back, which will completely hide the back hair.
 A young married woman in the coun- try says she wishes she could have a magic mirror, to see how her husband amuses himself in her absence.
 Many young women drive to Central Park in small basket wagons, with little tiger on the back seat, and large um- brella fastened to the seat of the car riage.
 At dinner-party, recently, all the vegetables were served in China dishes, made each to resemble flower surround ed by green leaves. The effect was very pretty.
 White linen parasols, lined with dark purple or green linen, are used by ladies at the sea-shore in preference to the pengee or silk ones, which are so expen- sive and so easily spoiled.

The Wedding of Giants.

A few days ago, the cable announced the prospective marriage in England of the Kentucky giant, Captain Bates, and the Nova Scotia giantess, Miss Anna Swan. This Bates-Swan wedding, which came off few days ago, was, we are told, the tallest one of the season. Bates is eight feet long when lying down, and just about eight feet high when standing up! Laying or standing, he weighs 400 pounds! If we remember correctly, Bates is 8 production of Boone county, Ky. At all events, few years ago he paid occasional visits to Cincinnati, and the ovation he received from the news boys on such occasions would have made anybody but 8 stout man quail. The bride of Bates is few inches taller than her husband, and about the same weight. It is not stated where the bride procured her wedding trOuSsedu, but is estimated there were about six acres of 1t. It is not stated, either, what business MT. Bates proposes to follow, but if he does not keep dry-goods store, he ought to establish one cotton mill, at least, to manufacture wardrobes,. because if the two dress in the latest fashions, and use goods in proportion to bulk or size, they will have to charter or buy mill, and keep it in operation all the time. Then, in the course of events, there may be some little giants and giantesses also to be clothed. Therefore the best thing for the masculine to do is to get possession of cotton mill, and as soon as possible rent cotton plantation
