LOcustS.

While an army was laboriously
marching through q detile, men and
horses were Suddenly brought to halt,
swarm of locusts being precipitated
from thick cloud which intercepted
the light of the sun. The coming of
the locusts was heralded by n
whizzing sound like that which pre-
cedes storm of wind, and the noise
OF their wings and of their bodies as
they clash together was greater than the
roar of breakers on the seashorc. In
Algeria was once seen cloud of locusts
from twenty to twenty five miles in
length, which, when it descended to the
earth, formed layer over an inch in
thickness. Toward the close of the
year 1864, the cotton plantations of
Senegal were destroyed, and living
cloud was seen to pass over the country
from morning till night the rate at
which it moved showed that it was
about fifty miles long, and this was only
the vanguard for when the sun went
down n still denser cloud was moving
on. An English traveller states that III
South Africa, in the year 1897, these
insects covered the ground to the extent
of two square miles, and that, having
been driven by the wind toward the
sea, they formed drift near the coast
nearly four feetin depth, and fifty miles
long. After the wind changed, the
stencil of their putiefying carcasses was
recognized at the distance of one hun.
dred and fifty miles.

Electric Butter.

The Washington Chronicle gives an
account of the exhibition of the won
derful power of "lightning churn, !"
at the residence OF the Commissioner of
Patents, when large company of
ladies and gentlemen were present TO
witness pint of milk converted into a
pound of butter in less than one min
ute. 1t is the general opinion that the
butter is made to come" in this sin
gular manner, by galvanic current
produced by the warm water, salt and
saltpeter placed within an outer metallic
cylinder which incloses the one in which
the milk is placed.
The inventor says the peculiar COM
position and preparation of the metal
used in the several cylinders of the
churn are secrets which will not be
made public. 1t is claimed that practi-
cally working, five pounds of butter can
be made out Of a gallon of milk yet as
high as seven pounds and three-quar-
tiers have been made out of one gallon
of pure milk, fresh from the COW. Some
objection has been urged against call
ing the product so obtained butter. 1t
appears to be the result of granulation
of all the nutritious particles of the
milk in mass, resembling, in all re-
spects, ordinary butter, from which it
cannot be distinguished. 1t can be
manufactured at a cost of about five
cents pound. The inventor has been
invited to churn before the President.

Are We n GOOd-LOOking People {!

We begin to think we are. Robert
Dale Owen, in his "reminiscences, re-
Gently published, says he saw more
handsome women in New York or Bos-
ton in five weeks than he saw in Italy
in as many years. And now comes Kate
Field--and women are better, though
severer, judges of this matter than men
who declares that there are more
Greek heads in the United States than
in Greece, adding "The purest CLASH
cal profile known to me is that of a New
England woman" The same writer re-
Gently asserted that the ill-health of
American women was owing, generally,
to Encouragement in the way of diet
and habits, and that when true to them
selves they hold out better than the
English women, besides having Il better
capital of good looks to begin with.
Being at the time among the fox
hunters of England, she was surprised
at the vigor of the septuagenarian
idlers. But recently in New York hon
ors were deservedly paid to the living
Peter Cooper, on the occasion of reach
ing his eighty-third birthday. If he
had been a fox-hunting English squire
or an NJ. p, the whole world would
have been called upon to admire the
spectacle. But there were great many
such fine old fellows scattered about in
this country. What has this to do with
good looks? A vast deal {; beauty is
symmetry, agood organization is good
condition, and to be anything more than
an incident of youth--a phosphorescent
light playing over decay-it must be
to the accompaniment of sound health,
leading to longevity. There is no rea-
son why, with the spread of intelli-
gence, this should not be on the in
crease in this country, thus enhancing
the good looks of the people, in which
we believe they, particularly the women,
have been endowed by nature as album
dainty as any other.-BOston Journal.

WAYS OF Carving Babies.

In the Vienna Exposition were num-
Der of models illustrating the style in
which woman of different nations carry
their babies.
The Asiatic Indian woman carries
hers in blanket hanging in front some
what below the waist; tho Bengalese
woman, with the child astride low down
upon her left hip, and her left arm sup
porting its back. The figure seems
quite indifferent as to the difficulties in
this style of carrying, which must be a
highly artistic performance if done 80
cleverly in reality.
The Egyptian woman carries hers in
stately manner, the child sitting
astride her shoulder with its hands upon
her head, and without any clothing to
speak of.
The Brazilian woman carries hers in
somewhat similar manner, also in full
undress, it sitting astride her neck.
The Chinese baby is carried upright
upon the back, in blanket, and the
South African in bag in front, formed
by blanket round the hips of the
mother.
The Lower Australian woman carries
hers by swinging it in blanket over
one shoulder upon her back, while the
Northern Australian woman carries hers
bound upon board, after the style OF
candy-models in confectionery stores.
The Lapland baby is carried in a
sledge-shaped cot, made of leather. II
seems to have been chucked in feet fore
most, and then a frame tied over the
opening for its face, whether to prevent
it from crawling out or to keep the
dogs from kissing it, is more than car
be imagined.
The most unique style of all is that Of
the Esquimaux woman, who wears wide
high-top boots, andputs the baby, right
end foremost, down in the outside o.
one of them, and doubtless, according
to DIR. Kane's description of her style
carrying her cooking and eating utensils
in the other.
The North American woman carrie
hen papoose strapped to board, anc
that strapped upon her back by ban'
over the forehead.

Lace-Making.

The manufacture OF Valenciennes
lace is an extremely difficult kind of
work, requiring very long apprentices
ship, and wholly absorbing to the
women engaged in it while the pay
ment is so small that the industrious
population of the north of France find
means to employ themselves more adj
vantageously. 1t requires many months,
sometimes even a year, to weave piece
of three French yards and as the lace
maker cannot afford to wait for her
wages during so long period, it is GUS
tomary for the employers to pay when a
third is finished, as well as to find the
thread by which arrangement he is
sometimes tie loser. Thus, there are
but three lace-makers left in Valen-
ciennes one, who makes the old and
real kind, earns about shilling day
the other two, fabricating the sort of
lace which is initiated in Belgium, re-
ceive fifteen pence for day of twelve
hours. Arras is a center for large
manufacture of common lace, but the
women are III general poor and igno-
rant. Lace is one of the few victories
of handicraft over machine work, Sc
far nothing but very inferior imita-
ton having been produced. Real lace,
therefore, is both valuable and rare.

Gen. Washington in n Fight.

large party of Virginia rihemen,
who had recently arrived, were strolling
about the camp. Their half Indian
equipments, and fringed and rufied
hunting garbs, provoked the merriment
of some troops from Marblehead, chief
ly fishermen and sailors, who thought
nothing equal to the round-jacket and
trousers. A bantering ensued between
them. There was snow upon the ground,
and snow balls began to fly when Jokes
were wanting. The parties waxed warm
with the contest. They closed and came
to blows. Both parties were re-enforced,
and in a little while at least a thou
sand were at fsticuffs. At this iunct-
IRE Washington made his appearance.
He threw the bride of his horse into
his servants hands, sprang from his
seat, rushed into the thickest of the
melee, seized two tall, brawny rifemen
by the throat, talking to and shaking
them. AS they were from his own prov
ince, he may have felt peculiarly re-
sponsible for their good conduct. His
appearance and strong handed rebuke
put an instant end to the tumult. The
combataAts dispersed in all directions,
and in less than three minutes none re-.
NAMED on the ground but the two he
had collared. -MethOdiSt.

ARSENIC GREEN. tell all the del
eterious effects of arsenic would fill a
volume. Scheele's green, Schweinfurth
or emerald green, and Paris green, are
the three DISCUSSES under which it hides
itself, and these are employed to a
greater or less extent in several branches
of industry. The leaves of artificial
flowers, dress fabrics, carpets, even
delicately tinted sugar-plums, and the
toys which baby thrusts into its little
mouth, are colored with these sub
stances in short, wherever green is
seen in artificial products a strong sus-
picion of arsenic is iustifable. But the
largest use of the poison isin the manu-
facture of paper-bangings of various
shades of green, gray and mauve, which
commonly contain from five to thirty
grains OF arsenic to the square foot. 1t
Is hardly necessary to say that the oc.
cupants of rooms thus papered daily
imperil health and even life. Toe
much care cannot be exercised to pre-.
vent the perils arising from this source.

ThOusandth Anniversary.

1t will be just thousand years ago
this summer since fierce Viking from
Norway, sailing to and fro according to
his habit in search of new worlds in
which to steal and kill, ran aground
upon mass of volcanic mountains,
rising ont of the misty confines of the
Arctic Sea, and wrapped in the unbroken
SHOWS and scori@ of ages, while sui
phurous flames and boiling fountains
burst from the plains below. The
Viking called it Iceland, and Harold
the Fair-haired became proprietor
thereof and it certainly speaks very
little for the comfort or domestic adj
vantages Of that picturesque state of
society sung by sages and by seers, in
which fair-haired Vikings played such
an active part, to know that a brisk
emigration at once set in from Norway
to this desolate beach, which Nature
had apparently thrown away for fire and
frost to destroy. The descendants of
these first settlers yet people the island,
and propose to celebrate in n few weeks
the thousandth anniversary of that far
off day which made them inheritors of
its sulphur, seals and lava. The details
OF the celebration are not yet resolved
upon, but we, their American neigh
bors, are expected to join in some sort
of way, and that with the more hearth
ness because the return of the island to
her ancient rights of self government is
also to be made subject for rejoicing.
