Costa Rican Exploration.

An important exploration in Costa
RIGA, under the superintendent of
Prof. William NJ. Gabb, has now been
in progress for year or more. It's
special object is to investigate an en-
tirely undeveloped region of South.
eastern Costa Rica, inhabited only by
savages, yet known to contain rich
mineral teasures, which were worked by
the Spaniards in the early days of the
conquest. The expense of the explor-
att n is borne conformity by the Costa
Rican Government and by the contract
ors for the Costa Rica railroad. AL
though the party has included only four
besides Prof. Gabb, it has already ac-
cumulated a great deal of important
information in reference to the economi-
cal, scientific, and political history of
the region explored. Prof. Gabb has
found the natives less savage than was
anticipated, and has so won their conf
dence as to prevail upon the chief to
accompany him in visit to San jose
Enough has already been determined
in regard to the geological structure of
the country to sustain the belief in the
wealth of its mineral deposits. The
greatest interest, however, attaches to
the discovery of two previously I'M
known volcanoes in the main cordilera,
just northwest of Pico Blanco. Their
height is not less than 1000 feet. The
collections in natural history are of un-
usual magnitude, and are especially
rich in mammals, birds, reptiles, and
insects. OF fish but few species have
been obtained. The ethnology and
philology of the country are also re-
ceiving particular attention from the
party. Materials illustrating the man
ners and customs of the people are gath
cree in large quantities. Prehistoric
graves are frequently met with, and, in
addition to these, Prof. Gabb has
found traces of an ancient buried city
of which no mention is made in history.
The collections of the party are sent to
the National Museum at Washington,
where they form a conspicuous feature
in the Central American series.

Musk.

Musk is a secretion, and is obtained
from the musk-deer (WOSchuS n1Oschj-
.ferus), pretty little animal inhabiting
the higher mountain ranges of China,
Tonquin and Thibet. The musk is
found in small pocket or pouch under
the belly of the deer. The hunters cut
off this pouch, which, becoming dry,
preserves its contents, and in this state
the best article reaches our markets.
Musk, when moderately dry, is an unc-
tous powder of reddish color. 1t gives
out a powerful odor of warm, aromati
character and most wonderful persist
tency. Blending well with almost every
other scent, it discovers but little of its
own popularity III compounds, when
used in proportion, and yet gives them
great permanency. In point of gen.
eral usefulness to the perfumer it is
probably unequaled by any other SUBJ
stance; for, although coarse and unde-
sirable in pure state, the most popu-
lar compounds are those ia which it is
an ingredient.
Genuine musk is very costly, being
worth, when separated from its sac and
all extraneous matter, from $50 to $50
the ounce. It's great strength compen-
safes in measure for its price. One
part of musk, it is said, will scent more
than 3, 600 parts of inodorous powder.

His Patience Explained,

have the story of an incident at one
of the Richmond hotels which made me
laugh, although all readers may not see
anything funny about it. A Boston
man and two Virginians sat at the same
table. The Boston man was shocked
to hear the Nirginians call the
"nigger. Surely, he thought, the
spirit of slavery is strongly upon this
people. He was careful to call the
waiter /" his friend" when ordering
dishes, and to speak to him in the
kindest and most polite manner. Not
withstanding his honey speeches and
bland smiles, he noticed that the waiter
brought the Virginians altogether the
best dinner. Upon reflection he ascribed
it to the terror awakened in the poor
waters mind by the rough speech and
overbearing conduct of the Southerners.
When the Virginians left the table the
sympathetic but rather poorly fed Bos-
ton man fastened to get the ear of the
waiter. Thirsting for evidence of
Southern barbarism, as we'll as for a
good cup of coffee, he said to the waiter :
Here were those two men, who in
suited you and swore at you, and talked
rough, yet you brought them a much
better dinner than me, who spoke to
You most kindly and politely how is
this ?" Well, replied the African,
as he cast sly glance around and wiped
the perspiration from his black fore
head with the corner of napkin, CT

Final Report OF the Plymouth Church
Investigating COMMITTEES.

Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, was densely
packed on the evening of August rs. when the
Investigating Committee reported. Prob
ably over 5000 people were present, and many
had to leave for lack of accommodations. The
following is an abstract Of the committees
report
They find in detail an acquittal of Mr..
Beecher on the charge of adultery with Mrs.
Tllton at the times and places specified in Til
tons accusation; that Mr.. Beecher never
committed an unchaste or improper act with
Mrs. Tilton that he has committed errors Of
judgment that he will now admit, and which
he must regret most of all; and that there is
nothing in the evidence that should impair
the confidence of Plymouth Church in the
Christian character and integrity OF Henry
Ward Beecher. The errors OF Judgment to
which the committee refer are That Mr.
Beecher did not take counsel with some of his
Christian brethren instead of man Of
whom he knew little, and who has
proved 80 unworthy as Moulton and that he
should have been so unguarded i'll his rela-
tions with the Tllton family that Mrs. Tilton
had an opportunity to fall in love with him.
The report is quite lengthy, and concludes
as follows
FirSt--We find from the evidence that the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher did not commit
adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth r. Tilton, either
at the time, times, or at the place or places set
forth in the third and fourth subdivisions of
Mr.. Iilton's statement, nor at any otEer time
or place whatever.
Second We find from the evidence that
Mir. Beecher has never committed any I'M
chaste or improper act with Mrs. Tilton, nor
made any unchaste or improper remark,
profIer, or solicitation to her of any kind or
description whatever.
Thtrd-lf this were question Of errors of
judgment OH the part of Mr.. Beecher, it
would be easy TO critcise, especially in the
light of recent events. In such criticism,
even to the extent of regrets and csnsure. we
are sure no man would join more sincerely
than Mr.. Beecher himself.
Fourtt-We find nothing whatever in the
evidence that should impair the perfect con-
tidence of Plymouth Church or the world in
the Christian character and integrity of Henry
Ward Beecher And now let che peace of
God, that passeth all understanding, rest and
abide with Plymouth Church and It's beloved

The meta employed is tinfoil,' in

and from thirty to forty inches

dried at a high temperature, and
are then decorated with many
different patterns, such as foil
age, flowers, geometrical figures,
limitations of wood or landscapes.
When decorated, the sheets are
vanished and again dried, and
are then ready for sale. Tinfoil
is in itself naturally tough; and
the cost laid upon it in preparing
it for the market increase the
toughness. The hangingof these
metallic sheets is similar to pa.

is vanished with a weak kind of
varnish, and the sheet applied
thereto. Thus in this way a room

Look to your Fruit.


To those who have laid away
apples or pears for winter use,
we would say, look to them often.
1t is hardly possible to pick and
pack fruit so carefully but that
now and then an imperfect spec
linen will be left in the packages.
These imperfect specimens,
whether. the imperfections arise
from a bruise received while
handling or from an insect, are
most sure to begin to decay
within one or two weeks from
the time of picking, and if allow
ed to remain in contact with
the perfect fruit, the infection
will spread rapidly. Fruit pack
ed away for winter use should be
overhauled every two or three
weeks, and the decaying ones
thrown out OF used. By this pre-
caution much loss may often be
avoided, and a large bulk of the
fruit be kept in pefect condition
until late in the season.
