New Zealand Bathing,

New Zealand has its advantages as a
place of residence. For instance, says
the New Haven Register, near Taupo
boiling springs abound, and when the
natives wish a boiled dish, they put up
the article to be cooked in a bag
and put it in a boiling spring. They
believe in bathing proper, and Lake
Tarawera, a small lake near Taupo, is
always ready, at the temperature of :,
warm bath. The natives all take to
the water at certain hour In the even
ing, and right hilarious time they
have. There is this slight inconven-
fence that as boiling water jets up
from the bottom of the lake rather pro-
miscuously, the bather who "strikes
out carelessly may draw back bis
tered foot or arm minus perhaps the
skin. Even on land there is danger of
breaking the crust and suddenly find
ing your foot in cauldron of hot wa
ter. The visitor needs an experienced
friend as much at New Zealand as at
any other watering place.

ALEXANDER Munro, the young Eng

said to have had no rival in the grace

portrait busts of women were also dis

monumental kind is his colossal stand

Keeping Grapes in the Ground.

Now that grapes are abundant and
excellent, every one Is asking if there
Is not some way by which they may be
kept fresh and nice for use during the
winter. One writer states that he took
box about Is inches in depth, covered
the bottom well with grape leaves, then
placed in a layer of grapes, next a layer
of leaves, and so on until the box was
full, having layer of leaves on top. A
tight cover was then nailed over the
box, and it was buried III the ground at
a depth below the frost. He had excel
lent grapes the following spring, and
thinks they will thus deep all the sum
mer OF course the box should be
buried where the water will not collect
near it,

THERE is nothing, says the New Ha-

feet wide, from which, every twenty
four hours, you are requested by the
police to clear off the snow. It strength

Oneida Cleanliness,

How the children Of the Oneida Com

the Circular: They are allowed to have
this first bath as warm SIS they please,
It's temperature generally ranging from
50 to 80 degrees; but after this first
washing they take a dOUche bath in the

4 Erea. Establishment.

From n. Y, Correspondence Evening Wisconsin.
Speaking OF Helmbold, reminds me
that. New York has an establishment to
which his place on Broadway is as a
mOle-hllI to a mountain mean the
drug store of Caswell, Hazard & Co,
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel building.
This firm do a larger business than any
other retail druggists in the world, and
their store is one of the wonders of the
city. The store proper is 30G100 feet,
and is fitted up with solid marble floors,
counters, &c; all its appointments were
of the most costly and elegant descrip-
ton. Below is a perfect labyrinth of
laboratories extending far under the
street, where they manufacture the
chemicals, tinctur es, extracts, &c, used
by them IN compromising prescriptions,
and their numerous preparations of
worldwide reputation. Among these
preparations are their Ferro-phosphat-
ed Elixir of Calisaza Bark, pure Cod
Liver Oil, Juniper Tar Soap, mineral
waters of various descriptions, etc.
From their wealth and enormous bust
ness, they are enabled to secure
the best articles from the best
European sources, and nothing
of an inferior quality ever enters their
establishment. The roses of Turkey,
the lilies Of Africa, the violets of Eng
land, the gorgeous flowers of tropical
zones, all pay THEN tribute of richest
Odors to give aroma to the powders or
the essences here prepared. They
manufacture fourteen different varieties
Of cologne, all OF delectable odors-
theirNumber Six being unsurpassed for
strength Of aroma and durability of &C
ton. They pay particular attention to
the compromising of prescriptions of
medicines, and have q system of check
ing prescriptions which makes mistakes
impossible. Each ingredient is check
ed, and no prescription is allowed to go
out until it has been examined by two
experts. The cases and cabinets of this
great establishment are crowded with
the rarest chemicals and purest drugs
that can be collected, while articles of
Certu, the mineral waters of Messenger
and Vichy, with everything entering In
any way into pharmacy, are included in
the unrivaled assortment which con-
stantly attracts the wealth and beauty
of the metropolis.
first Of the kind commenced in America,
having been founded IN 1880 It is now
the most extensive house on the con
tinent, having business connections
with every state in the Union It en-
ploys constantly between forty and
fifty first-class chemists and other oper-
atives. The firm has two other stores
in the city, and its business is steadily
gaining, so that its income may at no
distant day double even the enormous
sum now shown upon its books. Those
of your readers who may come East,
and may wish to see the pharmaceutical
wonder of New York, should by all
means visit this establishment, to
which they will be most cordially vel

An Item for Boys.

1t is not necessary that boy who learns
a trade be compelled to follow it all his life.
Governor Palmer, of Illinois, was coun-
try blacksmith once and began his political
career as a constable in Macoupin county.
A circuit judge in the central part of Illi-
nois was once a tailor. Thomas Hoyne,
rich and eminent lawyer of Illinois, was
once book binder, Erastus Corning, Of
New York, too lame to do hard labor, COM
menced as a shop-boy in Albany. When
he applied for employment first he was ask
ed: "Why, my little boy, what can you
do ?' "Can do what am bid" was the
answer. That secured him place. Sena-
tor Wilson, of Massachusetts, was shoema-
ker. Thurlow Weed, canal boat driver.
x-Governor Stone, of Iowa, was a cabi-
net maker, which trade the late Hon. Ste
phen A. Douglass also worked at in his
youth. Large numbers of prominent men
now living have arisen from humble life by
dint of industry, without which talent is as
useless as a gold coin on barren island
Work alone makes men bright and it does
not alone depend ON the kind of work you
have to do whether you rise or not. 1t de-
pends on how you do it.

RATHER MIXED.

I've wandered through the village, Tom
Along with Anna Lee,
To listen to the mocking-bird,
In the cottage by the sea.
Reid's bay mare can't be beat
While coming through the rye;
Let me kiss him for his mother,
Says the spider to the fly.
The colored girls and poor old Ned,
Now swell the National song,
I'd offer thee this hand of mine
But take your time, Miss Long.
Pm lonely since my mother died
Susanna don't you cry;
We're all noddlng through the world,
Then root hog, or die.
Harkl hear the angels singing,
All daddy, he's struck lie;
We're coming, Father Abraham,
Along with Annie Lyle.
The song my mother used to sing,
The wearing of the green
The girl left behind me,
To-day is sweet sixteen.

HILDA'S THANKSGIVING PARTY.
1T ENDS IN A WEDDING.

NEVER was there a happier maiden
IN than Hilda Howe as she fitted hith-
er and thither in their newly y-furnished par
lors, arranging and re-arranging the win
dow draperies, newly deposing the orna-
ments, changing the position of the otto
mans and easy chairs, brushing away each
speck of dust with feather duster, and
carefully gathering every scrap of lavel-
lings and lint from the newly-made car
pets, singing all the while:
"Merriy every bosom boundeth
Merrily! o. Merrily o!

her heart kept time to the music of her
lips.

Before the day of chloroform there was

That is Parkinson's mode, and you don't

GaS A woman says what she chooses
without being abused for it. She can take
a nap after dinner while her husband goes
to work. She can go into the street without
being asked to stand treat at every saloon.
She can stay at home in time of war, and
get married again if her husband gets kill
ed. She can wear corsets if too thick, and
other fixings if too thin. She can get a
divorce from her husband, if she sees one
she likes better. She can get her husband
in dept all over, until he warns the public
not to trust her on his account. But all
these accounts are balanced by the great
fact that she cannot sing bass, wear a
beard, go sparkling, or climb tree.
