The Langmade Murder.
CONCORD, N H.. October 5.-A man
named Drew has been ARE sted at Penn
broke for the outrage and murder OF the
young girl A mob is besieging the station
house where Drew is confined. The head
of the murdered girl was discovered a
hundred yards from where the body was
found.
The search for the head of the Lang mad .
girl at Pembroke was renewed this morn
ing, and resulted in its being found about
100 rods from where the body was discov-
cred. 1t was envelooed in a shawl which
the girl had worn. One ear was gone, the
face blackeued and bruised, and one side of
the skull broken in. In the edge CT the
woods was found a stake broken in two
pieces, with which she had evidently been
struck and afterward dragged into the woods
where the head wei severed from the body.
The officers at SrucC0k, mile and hall
from the scene of the tragedy, to-day ar
rested man named BIZ Drew, who lives
about half mile from where the murde,-
was committed, and whose movements were
very suspicious. The most intense excite
ment prevailed. When his arrest became
known great crowd gathered about the
station where he YVES confined, and but for
the determination of the officers he would,
doubtless, have been lynched.

Asiatic Snow Plains.

The following description of the
snow plains OF Central Asia is taken
from campaigning on the Oxns: :"
"The days pass-some in wild, fierce
storms of snow and sleet, that howl
around us as though all the demons of
the steppe were up in arms, some in
bright sunshine, whose intolerable
glare blinds us and blisters our faces.
From time to time we drive down into
darksome underground holes, hot and
reeking, hover around the steaming
samovar, pouring down oceans OF boil
ing tea then out on the silent steppe
again to continue the weary struggle.
There are nights when we awaken from
a half-frozen sleep, and remember we
are in the heart of the mysterious re-
gions of Asia, and sac nothing but the
wide, snowy steppe, silent and ghostly
in the spectral moonlight. For miles
and miles there is no human habitation,
but the burrow-like stations somewhere
far ahead, buried under the snow, as
though crushed into flatness by the
grim uniformity above. There is some
thing strangely oppressive and awful in
the changeless monotony of these wide,
snowy plains, level as floor, where for
days and weeks you SEQ nothing but
snow and sky, where you are the NOV
ing center Of horizon-bounded plain
that seems to move with you, and hang
upon you, and weigh you down like
monstrous milestone. There is the
breadth and loneliness of the ocean with
out it's movement, the cold and icy
silence of the arctic regions without
the glory of the arctic nights or the
grandeur of the arctic mOuntain-the
silent desolation of an unpeoplod world.
Those broad, level, snowy plains, over
which the icy winds from northern
Siberia como rushing down in furious
blasts with an uninterrupted sweep OF
o thousand miles, and drive the snow
about in whirlwinds that go scudding
over the plain like giant spectres; the
short days of sunshine, when the glHre

the long, cold nights passed in half.

The Way to Manage Hard Timber.

Borers of different species of insects
are liable to work in hard timber even
after the lumber has been worked up
into parts of tools and Implements.
Ox.bows, ax.handles and pick handles
made of the hardest and toughest
quality of hickory will often become SO
thoroughly "powder.posted" as to be
unfit for any use except fuel. Powder
post is caused by numerous minute
borers working in The timber. III tim
ber is cut down and split or sawed ont
in the latter part of summer, and is
stuck up so that it can season readily.
borers will never enter the wood.
But as trees cannot always be felled
nor sawed out at this season of the
year some means must be employed to
destroy the borers or to prevent their
entering the sawed or the split timber.
The most convenient and effectual way
to prevent injury from borers is to put
the plank or scantling, soon after the
timber is sawed, into stream or pond
of water and allow the pieces to remain
soaking for q month or six weeks.
Then take them from the water and
stick them up beneath an open shed
where the wind can blow through the
pile. BY this treatment hard and
tough timber will be rendered insect
proof and the grain will be much iirmer
and tougher than if the lumber had
been stuck up without being soaked in
the water.
In some parts OF New Jersey farmers
treat all their timber in the foregoing
For example: They will dig
up an oak or an ash treo for sleigh'rnn-
H. re-, have the butt log sawed into
planks, then excavate pond hole along
O small brook, where they do not have
access to q mill dam, and stick up these
planks in the water, where they are al
lowed to soak for nearly two months.
Timber for wagon tongues, for barrows,
for thills and for other purposes is
treated in the same manner. All such
timber will wear like iron and will never
become powder-posted nor injured by
large borers. When timber is placed
in the water every piece should be kept
covered with water until the lumber is
removed. If sand and grit accumulate
On the sides let tho surface be swept

European Universities.

Universities are state institutions IN
Europe the state appoints their OIL
GERS, endows aud rules them, and so
provides for the highest branches OF
public instruction. The German uni
yersities have long been Justly and pre-
eminontly famous for their scientific
character. Goethe, comparing the uni
yersities of Leipsic and Strasbourg IN
his day, complained that the latter, then
in French hands, did not exhibit such
an elevated, large and theoretical CHAR
acter as did the Saxon university.
France, he said, was forming lawyers
and magistrates rather than iuriscon-
suits. This criticism of the great poet
ia still more exact at the present day.
Ia the discussion on public instruction
before the Versailles assembly these
facts have been brought forward, and,
on the strength of them, it has been
argued that France should appropriate
more money for her faculties for tao
purpose OF securing higher results III
scientific education. The Germans are
not stingy toward their universities ana
colleges. For their establishment anu
maintenance money Is always ioi
