Ancient Costumes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cleveland
Leader, speaking of the Centennial tea
party at Washington says: There was
a pretty brunette who wore a dress 40
years old; it was an heirloom in her
family and had been preserved with
great care, having been worn by her great
grandmother at the first reception given
at Mount Vernon. The petticoat was of
paie-biue silk, very pale, indeed, with
age; and the oyerskiTt, which was turned
back down the front, showing the petit
coat, was a creamy white with great
bouquets in raised brocade strewn over
1t; an old fashioned cape of rare lace
covered the shoulders and deep frills of
the same fell from the elbow sleeves: a
pair of long white silk mits reached to
the elbows; and the hair was done in
rufs and crowned with high comb
The wearer of this costume frankly re-
marked that il was complete as ner great
grandmother Is supposed to have worn it,
with the exception of the shoes, which
were too small for her. There were two
or three Of those hideous gowns displayed
which our foremotheTs used TO delight
In. One of them was of canary-colored
satin, made, should judge, all in one
piece, and that very small piece, with
no waist TO speak of, and the skirt meas
uring about yard and a half in
width. \ turban of lace and feathers
was the head-Gear, and the young lady
who wore this costume displayed an
amount of heroism that would be re
markablc in greater cause. All of the
costumes were not of course historical
nor ancient. One could easily see how
we are continually reviving old styles of
dress in some form or other, and the
nrocaded Overskirts, white handker-
chiefs and powdered hair did not seem
unfamiliar"

Primitive Flowing.

A MEXICAN correspondent &c the Louis
vile COurEer-J0HrEGl writes:
"On our way back to TemiScn we had
an opportunity of observing, more close
ly than diligence or railroad can permit,
the process of blowing as commonly
praciiced in this country. The pillow it
self Is almost a fac ssBiie of the pattern
used by the Egyptians in the time of
Abraham, and certainly commends itself
To all agrlculturists on account of its
great simplicity and cheapneSs. 1t CON
slsts Of wooden shaft about four feet
long and four inches thick, armed at its
lower extremity with an iron point,
signify tlattened and sometimes pre-
senting feeble! forward curve. The
other end issprovided with round stick
passed through hole to serve as a han
die. The pole, consisting of the stem of
small tree, from, which the bark has
been peeled, is fifteen feet long and at
tached TO the shaft by means of mortise
and peg. The implement thus Consti-
tuted Is fastened at the extremity of the
pole to the middle of very light wood
en- woke about seven feet long, which
rests immediately behind the horns of a
pair of oxen, and is fastened there by
thongs of rawhide passed around the
roots of the horns. Not less than fifty
such ContIivances were crawling at a
snalfS pace over the field which we
stopped to notice, scratching up the
ground to the depth of two or three
inches-certainly to US a very novel
sight"

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE,

GINGER NUTs.-One pound of -four,
three-quarters pound of lard and butter
mixed, three-quarters pound of sugar,
one quarter pound Of ginger, two ounces
of allspice, one ounce of caravan seed
and one pint of molasses.
HERE are two remedies for dyspepsia,
said by those who " have tried them to
be lnfallible: First, eat onions. Sec
ond. take two parts of well-dried and
pounded pods of red pepper, mixed with
one part of ground mustard, and sift it
over everything you eat or drink.
POLISHING TINS. First rub your tins
with damp cloth, then take dry flour
and rub it on with your hands, and after
ward take an old newspaper and rub the
flour off, and the tins will shine as well
as If half an hour had been spent in rub
bing them with briCk-dust or powder,
which spoils the hands.
To CURE a colt of pulling at his halter
place stiff spring pole in front of him,
but out of sight behind his manger. Pass
the halter strap through hole in the
partition and tie to the spring pole. If
all is properly adjusted the colt will try
his entire strength without breaking
loose, and Will be apt to 60 back to his
iihhSNi d great tudH Ht
backed away from it.
HAM AND EGGs.-Break eggs, one by
one, into a pan in which ham has been
lightly and quickly browned-not dried
up-and fry them light brown on the
under side. By this time they will have
assumed a consistency on the top and
must be taken up carefully with a fish
slice or skinner, without turning, and
placed round the edge of the dish, the
ham occupying the center.
SAYS cattle-raiser: salt should
be furnished to all animals regularly 4
COW, an OK, or horse needs two to four
ounces daily. Salt increases the butter
IN milk, helps the digestive and nutri-
tive processes ana gives good appetite
The people of interior Europe have
saying that II pound of salt makes ten
pounds of flesh. OF course salt only
assists in asSimilating the food; it does
not make flesh, nor bone, nor muscle"
AND then there is the veritable "hoe
cake" baked by our grandmother; they
have gone almost out of fashion here,
though, but still think | shall tell you
how they are made. Pour boiling water
on a quart of meal stir in a spoonful of
butter or lard and little salt, ,et the
dough be stiff and kncad or work it well
say for ten minutes, bake slowly on a
board before the fire; when nicely brown
on one side turn and bake the other

Specializing on Borrowed Money.

1HE usual rate of interest in the West
Is 10 per cent, and it is generally be
lleved that this is the correct measure of
the value of money. If the measure of
the value of a commodity is what it will
bring this is true: but if the true meas
ure of value is what the article can be
made to yield it is not true. Expe-
rlenced capitalists and business men give
IT as their mature opinion that there is
no KIND of property as valuable as money
loaned at 10 per cent.-which is tanta-
mount TO saying that the average yield
of industries, enterprises and specula-
tlons is less than 10 per cent. on the
amount invested, or, in other words, that
money Is not really worth 10 per cent
There are several considerations that
strengthen this conclusion Money
loaned at 10 per cent will double itself
IN seven and a half years; $4,000 will
grow into 10000 in that time, and SEQ,
900 will grow into $40,000 That the
average investment in business ventures
and industries will not do this is too well
known TO need demonstration. While
hundred men who loan money at 1Oper
cent, compounded, will, with prudent
management, double their fortunes in
seven and half years, 100 men
will fail, in spite of all the
prudence and foresight they may
exercise, to double theirs. So far from
it, fifty of them, if not more, will break
There is nothing more clearly estab-
llshed by the experience of business than
the fact that man who conducts his
enterprises on Borrowed capital-whose
only resources, OF chief resources are the
products Of bills drawn on his ship
ments-will, in four cases out of five,
come TO bankruptcy, and farmer who
mortgages his farm for half its value to
secure money at 10 per cent in the hope
that its net yield will pay the interest
and principal will, in four cases out of
FIVE, be sold out. These plain and we'll
known facts appear to prove that the
average annual product of money in
vested in commerce, speculation, indus
try and agriculture is not 10 per cent.
and that, while il may bring that price,

" You have no idea how many of those

Ard Love Is Over All,

some one ought to make Maggie Flynn
of St Paul, MINI, the heroine of nice
sentimental poem. Her story is not "A
long one, but there are novel points
about 1t, and in 1t proof that "it's love
that makes the world go round" Some
time ago Maggie became engaged to Il
young man of st. Paul, moving in her
own social circle, and one she loved
fondly, as he seemed to deserve. Maggie
had done nothing wrong, but she had
an enemy in the person of young man
who may have been an unsuccessful
Sultor, and he hurt her as a woman can
always be hurt though ChaSte as Diana.
lie put into circulation certain stories
about Maggie which induced her love. to
break oil the engagement; and Maggie,
poor girl, lost her reason and was placed
in the hands of the Sheriff of St Paul to
be taken to the Insane Asylum. Mean
while the employers of the young man
to whom the crazed girl was iengaged
heard of the case and ascertained there
was no foundation for the stories affect
ing Maggie'S character, and they pro
posed to right the matter if possible
The young man, absent on a business
trip, was sent for and was only too glad
to learn of his error. 1t was resolved
that Maggle's lover should see her, and
the hope was entertained that the inter
view might aid in restoring her reason.
The poor girls things had all been packed
and carriage engaged by the Sheriff to
convey her to the depot. He was induced
to postpone the trip, and then the young
man went to see the girl he had too rash
ly forsaken. Wandering in her talk like
OphelIa, she was seated in the Sherifrs
house when her lover entered. In an
instant the meaningless prattle ceased,
reason came TO the ClOuded brain through
that best of all avenues, the heart, and
Maggie not only recognized the man she
loved but became her own Joyous self
again. She has once more been Entrusted
to her friends and relations, retains her
reason and is expected soon To be well
enough to take the part of bride in
wedding ceremonial As remarked in
the beginning of this short story there is
chance for some one to immortalize
Maggie in verse. The tale is a true one
in every particular.-!St. Louts RepubIi-
