how does thee do? pve come to spend

some fellow would come in, and, think

About the time he was lifting il he
would feel a tap on his shoulder, aud
Mary would say in her sweet voice and
pleasant way: Friend, does thee know
thee is taking poison? Last December
the people of Wilmington were organ

DAYS before Dio Lewis came to WASH

We had the pleasure of attending the
entertainment given by MeKay's Warm
Spring Indians, ia which the war.
scalp, medicine, feast and religious
dances We're given in the characteristic
dresses and manner of these Indians.
Besides the dancing, there were several
scenes very effectively represented, such
as camp scenes, the stealthy massacre of
a sleeping foe, pursuit Of aneneny, and
all the incidents of war and peace.
These Indians are sleek, fine looking
set of men, and do not appear to have
stCtrUcd on any reservation. There can
be no doubt that to the unaccustomed
eyes OF Eastern people, they will appear
heroic in their war-paint and feathers,

holding their rifles rather than their
tomahawks.

A bird that spends most of his time
on factory roofs tells us that folks are be-
ginning to make buttons, combs, door
knobs, cups, canes and all sorts of things
out of leather. They chemicalize it, he
says, chip it up and dissolve it i'm certain
fluids till it is pulp. Then they make
it into useful articles by pressing it into
moulds of the required shape. When
they take it out of the moulds it is hard
and tough. Then they polish its surface
in some way, and the articles are ready
for sale.
So, my dears, you may yet comb your
hair with your skate-straps, button your
clothes with your boots, drink out of old
pocket-books, and use a worn-out har-

A Madman,s Freak.

When Artemus Ward was in Utica,
he says that man smashed one of his
finest wax figures because he would not
have Judas Iscariot exhibited in the
town. The incident is recalled by one
that happened at the Paris Exposition
few days ago. In the department of
costumes there is a Japanese warrior in
full uniform, seated on stuffed horse.
The costume is real, having been in
use, and the wax head taken from life.
young and very we'll dressed man had
been walking about the room looking
at historical canes and dressing gowns
of Voltaire, and studying with great at
tention the costumes of the time of
Henry ~. Suddenly his eye fell upon
the Japanese warrior, and in an instant
his face underwent a change. He be-
gan to abuse the guardians, and to ask
if they had no sense of shame, no feel
ing of loyalty, no reverence for the his
tory of their country, no patriotism in
their natures. As a crowd began to
gather, the young man sprang upon the
warrior, seized him by the throat, and
dragged him to the ground, where he
smashed the wax head with his cane.
Arrested at once, he gave his name as
Norbert de Molon, his real name by the
by, but said that he was no other than
Henri ~, te legitimate King of
France, come to visit his bon Ville de
Paris in disguise. He was greatly out
ragged to see himself represented in
public exposition by such frightful
manikin. At the station his first words
were that he was very hungry. A soup,
roast, and glass of wine were set
before him. "Eat," said sergent,
cit will do you good" "Ah you
think it will do nae good, Ell ?" and be-
fore any one could stop him he ran out,
chased by several policemen, but was
not caught until headed off by another
policeman upon the Pont de la Con-
,, corde. It is presumed that want of
food was the cause of this young mans
frenzy, and he is now being provided
for at the naaiso7a de sa1ate, where he
talks constantly about that frightful
statue of Henry "

Chinese Merchants.

The New York ZFSbuyae's Hong Kong
correspondent gives very uncomph-
mentary sketch of the Chinese mer-
chant. Those who enjoy the reputa-
ton of merchants in California are, he
declares, scoundrels of the most dee-
perate description who have been de-
ported from China for crimes. He
describes the means of becoming a
merchant in the F'lowry Land. Two
Migrants will form q partnership and
live together at an aggregate income of
40 cents day, half of which sum they
save. At the end of six months they
buy a sedan-chair and procure license.
The chances of arrest for larceny at this
stage are ten to one, but if the critical
period is successfully passed they be-
come small merchants, earning 50 or s.
day. At the end of two years they
have amassed some 5000 apiece and
then, separating, become independent.
They buy goods on credit, and by
means of cheating, swindling, black
mailing, and extortion manage to be-
come wealthy. The blackmailing proc
ess requires the cooperation of q
mandarin, who deals out justice and
pockets half the fine imposed. OF
course as the merchant becomes wealth
ier his chance of punishment becomes
smaller, but when caught he is branded
and deported to San Francisco. This
seems to be very bad state of affairs
but the United States correspondent OF
q Hong Kong paper might with equal
| justice translate the account and senC
1t back to China as a graphic descr1p'
ton of certain phases of American COM
mereial life.

valuable of these is that of the Board of
Health, which devotes a number of
pages to the health of the agricultural
population. The facts, it is said. are
gathered from the reports of LEADING
physicians in the State. The diseases to
which farmers are most subject are. in
the order of their frequency, rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia, fever, ague. lung dis
eases and consumption. These. and
other diseases not named, are produced
by overwork, improper diet, exposure.
and defective dwellings. The renedy
for the evil effects of overwork is simple
and obvious, namely, don't. Easier
said than done, of course, especially in
Massachusetts but if ones whole mind
is given to solving the problem, some
thing may be effected. In regard to
diet, the report says: Bad bread is
common; much of it made with nm
wholesome substitutes for yeast meat
is almost always fried; too much pork
and beans are used; pies and cakes are
too plenty the diet is not sufficiently
varied coffee, tea and water are too
freely used (the element last named.
we suppose, being used in excess inter-
nally rather than externally, too much
fat used in cooking and baking. The
advice which follows is natural deduc-
GIOu bAC AOAC3OAAS oS0 more
fresh and less salt meat; substitute
broiling and roasting for frying; eat
more fruits and vegetables, and fewer
pies, cakes and sweetmeats make bet
ter bread, and, finally, abjure feather
beds and ventilate sleeping apartments
better. For some of these evils we can
see no cure but cooperation. Fresh
meat, for instance, can hardly be OBJ
tanned in some parts of the country, and
if obtained would probably be cut up
and cooked in such inartistic fashion
as would not develop its mostnutritious
qualities This and the other faults of
farmers diet would find natural solu-
tion in cooperation. IF the farmers
will confine their attention more to
such practical questions as are suggest
ed by the report, there will be less
dyspepsia. It has been noted, too,
by intelligent observers, that farmers
are more subject to the attacks of dis
ease in the fall than at any other time.
This is doubtless due to the overtaxing CT
the system during the busy season. A
change of scene and associations, even
if only for a few hours, will often do
much to counteract the effects of this
exhaustion. Go fishing or hunting, if
you cannot take more elaborate recrea-
ton but try at all events to secure for
all hands a short recess when the har-
vest is over--Christi0n Union.

WILD CRAB APPLE JELLY.-Cover the
fruit with water and boil until soft,
then strain add one pound of sugar to
each pint of juice boil from fifteen to
twenty minutes.
ALL plants require to be potted
tightly, for if the soil is left loosely
about their roots the plants often die.
When the roses have been well trimmed
and potted, soak the pots In water for
few moments, letting the soil become
thoroughly wet then place them in a
cool, shady location, and let them re-
main there until there is danger of
hard frost.
HAM DRESSED IN CLAREr.-Take a
glass of claret, teaspoonful of sugar,
and one of chopped onion place in a
frying pan when the claret boils place
in the rashers of ham, not cut very
thick cool well, and serve with the
sauce. This is a most appetizing dish.
THE very common use of soda for
washing linen is very injurious to the
tissue, and imparts to it yellow color.
In Germany and Belgium the following
mixture is now extensively and benef-
cially used Two pounds of soap are
dissolved in about five gallons of water
as hot as the hand can bear it then
next is added to this fluid three large
sized tablespoonfuls Of liquid ammonia
and one spoonful of best oil of turpen-
tine. These fluids are incorporated
rapidly by means of beating them to-
gether by a small birch broom. The
linen is then soaked in this liquid for
three hours, care being taken to cover
the washing-tub by closely fitting
woolen cover. By this means the linen
is thoroughly cleansed, saving much
rubbing, time and fuel
| SHEEP's HEARTS RoAsrED.-Having
washed the hearts, stuff each with an
onion parboiled and then minced fine,
two tablespoonfuls of bread-crumbs,
half a teaspoonful of chopped or dried
sage. and sufficient black pepper and
salt to season highly. Press the stuff
ing well into the hearts, and, if neces-
sary, fasten a little muslin over the tor
to keep it in. Whilst roasting haste
frequently. They may also be baked.
but care must be taken not to let them
get dry. Any heart that may be left is
excellent hashed.
