Lacquer Work.

The Japan Mail quotes from Consular
report an interesting account of one OF the
Oldest industries of that inventive people,
According to the native chroniclers, the art
of lacquering was discovered in the year ia
A. D. By the end of the thirteenth century
it had attained such perfection that distln-
guished member of the craft is recorded to
have then started particular school of paint
ing in lacquer. The material used in the
work consists of the sap of the ar1sM tree,
plant cultivated partly for its sap and
partly for the fruit, from which vegetable
wax is obtained. These trees attain their
prime of life in the short space of five or six
years, when the sap is drawn from them BY
an elaborate process requiring great judg-
ment and experience, and in which the in
habitants of particular district are cele-
brated for possessing special skill. After
the sap has been fully extracted during the
four or five autumnal months, the tree is
condemned and cut down. But its useful
ness does not even then cease, for its wood
is so light, and at the same time durable, as
to be used very generally for making floats
for fishiug-nets, and for many other purposes.
As for the process of lacquer painting, it is
rather elaborate, but it consists in the main
in applying successive layers of vsrnisb, gold
powder and paint, followed again by varnlsh,
and lastly rubbed successfully with partic.
ular kind of charcoal, polishipg-powder and
horn-dust The manipulation OF all these
various ingredients and appliances may well
be believed to be delicate matter, requiring
manual skill and neatneSs as we'll as good
taste

Pre- historic America.

The L: S. Smithsonian fstitution has late
ly undertaken an exploration which promises
very important results in the interest Of
American archaeology. 1t is well known
that on some of the islands off the south
coast of California there have been found
some extremely interesting remains of pre-
historic occupation on the part of the abo-
riginal tribes of the country, these consisting
of stone implements in great variety, soap
stone bowls, bone and shell ornaments, ETC.,
forming a valuable collection already obtain
ed for the National Museum. With view
of exhausting the locality and securing what
ever may still remain of interest, the services
of Mr.. Paul Schumacher, who had previous
ly explored the region, have been secured
by the Smithsonian Institution, and he left
San Francisco early in May, with four la
borers, for the scene OF action. The U. 5.
Treasury Department gave him transporta
ton on the revenue steamer Rush, and the
War Department supplied tents and camp
equipage. 1t is expected that this investi
CATION will occupy several months, and that
the results will be almost as interesting in
their relations to American archaeology as
those of Di Cesnola in Cyprus, and Schlie-
mann in Troy, to that of the Old World
The special object of this investigation is
the furnishing of material for the grand dis
play to be made at the Centennial by the
combined efforts of the Smithsonian Istitu-
ton and the Indian Bureau.

India--Deaths from Wild Beasts.

One extraordinary feature of Indian life
is the number of human beings destroyed by
wild beasts. Rewards are offered by the
Government for the killing of these animals;
but in some districts the loss of life is very
great, and in others, where it is less exces-
sive, the reason given is that goats are very
abundant, and that wolves prefer kids when
they can get them. Deaths by snake-bltes
are very frequent, no fewer than IA Joy per-
sons having lost their lives in that way IL
1869, while in 1871 the total deaths caused
by dangerous animals of all classes, amount
ed to 1908. In 1923 there were l,525
deaths from snake-b bites in ,Oadh, and 1884
from snake bites and wild beasts in the BON
bay Presidency. In the PuDjab 48 persons
were killed by wild beasts during 1872 3,
and in Mysore q, In Curg there were
only 7. DR.. Fayrer is of opinion that if
systematic returns were kept, the annual
number of deaths from Snake-bltes exclusive
of all doubtful cases. would be found to ex-
coed 10000.
The inhabitants of the border lands be-
tween Jungle and cultivation, are killed and
eaten by tigers in such numbers as to require
the immediate attention of Government, both
10 India and in England The following are
few out of the many instances; "a single
tigress caused the destruction of Ii villages,
and 256 square miles of country were thrown
out of cultivation. "Wild beasts frequently
obstruct Government survey parties. In
1869 one tigress killed 127 people, and stop
ped public road for many weeks. 4" 10
January, 1868, panther broke into the
town of Chicola, and attacked, without the
slightest provocation, the owner of the field.
Four persons were dangerously wounded,
and one died" Man-eating tigers are
causing great loss of life along the whole
range of the Nallai Mallai Forest. There
are five of them. One is said to have de
stroyed 100 people," "In Lower Bengal
alone, in period of six years, 13, 4O1 PEG
pie were killed by wild beasts. In South
Kanars, in July, 1867, 40 human beings
were killed by wild beasts" The Chief
Commissioner of the central provinces, In ms
report, shows the following terrible return OF
human beings killed by tigers:
| In 1oO0-I, oiA 1ooi--O, -O0, 1OOO- q
285; total for three years, 946. 1t appears
that there are difficulties in the way of kill.
ing down these tigers. First, the supersti-
tion of the natives, who regard the "man-
eating tiger" as kind of incarnate aud
spiteful divinity, whom it is dangerous to Of
fend, secondly, the failure of Government
rewards; thirdly, the desire of few in In
dia actually to preserve tigers as game, to be
shot with the rifle as matter. of sport Mr..
Frank auckland suggests an organized de
struction of the tiger cubs in the breeding
season, and the attraction of full-grown IT,
gers to traps, pitfalls, and other devices, by
means of drug of valerian, of which tigers
(which are only gigantic cats are exceeding
ly fond.

Canned Fruit.

The rapid development of the canned food
business shows that the article must meet a
great popular need; need indeed, not very
complimentary to the industry of cooking ac-
complishments of our fair citizens. To open
can, pour out certain quantity of the
contents, add the requisite proportion of wa
ter, and give the compound the necessary
amount of boiling or simmering, it is 80 easy,
and demands so little exertion of culinary
ability, that it is no marvel such labor
saving device has been 80 widely patronized.
1t is estimated that the canned goods bust
ness of the United States now amounts to
about $20,OO0,0OO annually, and it is con-
stantly growing.
Originally but few articles were put up
in this way, which were, for the most part,
fruits or "preserves now, the list of can
ned goods embraces fish, flesh, and fowl ;
fruit, vegetables, and berries; in fact, al
most everything that constitutes human food.
Among the fruits, are peach, pineapple,
strawberry, blueberry, thimbleberry, pear,
apricot, common apple, and ounce. Of
vegetables, are beans, peas, sweet corn, to-
matoes, and pumpkins, asparagus and sue
cotash. OF meats, are beef, veal, mutton,
chicken, turkey, goose, and ham. OF fish,
mackerel, halbut, salmon, Goldfish, paddock,
trout, Holsters, oysters, and clans. Besides
these are various kinds of soups, such as
mock turtle, ox-tail, chicken, vegetable, mul-
lagatawny, tomato, and pea also minced
meat for pies, sausage meat, venison, and
tripe. This is pretty liberal bill of fare,
especially when We include the entrements
which have been more recently added, and
which embrace ham, tongue, lobster, turkey,
and chicken
To give some idea of the business done in
this line, We may state that one establish.
ment in this city sold last year seven thou
sand five hundred dozen cans of tomatoes
three thousand of peeches, two thousand five
hundred of corn, one thousand one hundred
of peas, six hundred of blackberries, one
hundred of succotash, fifty of ounce, besides
large quantities of beef-soup, OK tail, mock
turtle, pea, and chicken, salmon, sardines
etc. To these may be added condensed
milk and coffee in no small quantities. 1t is
evident, when we take into account all the
other grocery stores in the city, that the trade
must be enormous, and big sums of money
must change hands in the various processes
and movements of the goods. Probably as
many as two hundred millions of cans are
annually put up in the United States, large
proportion of which are used for sea stores,
and exported to all parts of the world. Just
at this season the demand is active for pic
MICS, yachting, pleasure and excursion par
ties, and for persons going out of town, being
just the kind of thing where the requisite
facilities for cooking are available.-BOston

How to Catch Sheen.

There is a right way to do everything
Clumsy catching and handling is always in
furious to sheep, and hard on the party doing
the work. 1t hurts a sheep to be caught or
lifted by the wool, and such thing should
never be done where it can be avoided. A
portion of the flock to be caught should be
driven into pen until it is pretty well filled
though not crowded. The party doing the
catching should proceed quietly, frightening
the sheep as little aspossible. and when near
enough to the animal he desires to catch
should grasp its hind leg above the hook,
when, if pretty firm grip is held, very little
kicking can ensue. Then he should pass
the other hand in front of the breast which
gives him every advantage over the animal.
If it is desired to carry the sheep any con-
siderable distance, he should let go the hind
leg, and pass the right arm over the back,
lust behind the shoulders, with the hand un-
der the brisket, when, STOPPING little, the
sheep is raised on the hip. If these move
nents are made with precision and celebrity,
the sheep is off its feet before it is allowed
chance to struggle.-Liue Stock Journal.

Laughter as a Medicine.

A short time since, two individuals were
living in one room, very sick, one with brain
fever, and the other with an aggravated case
of the humps. They were so low that
watchers were needed every night, and it
was thought doubtful if the one sick of fever
could recover. A gentleman was engaged
to watch over night, his duty being to wake
the nurse whenever it became necessary to
administer medicine. In the course of the
night both watcher and nurse fell asleep
The man with the humps lay watching the
clock, and saw that it was time to give the
fever patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud, or move any portion of his body
except his arms, but, seizirg pillow, he
managed to strike the watcher in the face
with it. Thus suddenly awakened, the
watcher sprang from his seat, falling to the
floor, and awakened both the nurse and the
fever patient. The incident struck the sick
men as very ludicroua, and they laughed
heartily at it for some fifteen or twenty min
utes. When the doctor came in the morning
he found his patients vastly improved; said
he never knew such sudden turn for the
better, aud now both are up and well. Who
says laughter is not the best of medicines
Aud this reminds the writer of another base.
A gentleman was suffering from an liberation
in the throat, which at length became SO
swollen that his life was despaired of. His
household came to his bedside to bid him
farewell Each individual shook hands with
the dying man, and then went away weep
ing. Last of all came pet ape, and shak-
ing the mans hand, went away also with its
hands over it's eyes. 1t was so ludicrous
sight that the patient was forced to laugh
and laughed so heartily that the ulcer broke
and his life was saved.

Growth of Cities.

Brooklyn, once city of family dwellings,
is getting into the bad ways of New York,
and is filling up with tenement and boarding
houses, hotels and apartment houses. Brook
Ign business men who like to live in their
own homes and have no small fortune to in
vest in house, are obliged to live in Jersey
City, Newark and neighboring towns and
villages. The population Of Brooklyn has
increased 10 the last ten years at greater
rate than that of New York City. The GEN.
sus returns show that it has population of
483, 252, an increase of 1853 in ten years.
Last year, ], $40 new buildings were erected
in Brooklyn, and 1857 in New York, the
two together making 1927. Philadelphia
in the same time put up 5,O4O new buildings,
of which 1890 were dwelling houses. More
than one half the latter were two and a half
story dwelling houses, each of which becomes
a real "home" to the occupants. Thus it
will be seen that the growth of Philadelphia
in the matter of houses approaches double
that of both New York and Brooklyn.

Autumn.

Summer is over, young people. Here is
autumn; vacation is nearly gone. Have
you had pleasant holiday? Are all the
Nutcrackers ready for school? All work
and no play, or all play and no work are
equally bad for Jack and Jill.
There is pretty little story of work and
play which is told of wise old man who
lived many hundred years ago. You all
know the old man; bis name was John-St.
John we call him. 0ne day, the legend says,
hunter who had heard of his fame came to
Ephesus to see St. John. To his surprise
the huntsman found st, John petting part
ridge which he held in his hand. The man
said how great was his wonder to see so wise
a man take notice of thing so small. Then
St. John said:
"What have you in your hand?"
ga bow, replied the hunter.
"Why is it not bent p
because" answered the hunter, eff a.
ways bent it would lose its strength"
'Thst is just the reason" said St. J3hn,
"Why I play with the partridge. 1t is that
my mind may be kept strong by not being
always at work"

Season able Advice.

The Maine Farmer says: eve need again
to urge farmers to have greater regard for
their personal health and comfort than is
generally the case. We know just how hard
farmers have to work, and how pressing are
the demands of the present season. But
nothing is gained by hard and long continued
application. Work in the morning and night,
and if possible enjoy long "nooning'-it
will do you no harm. Battle frequently. and
never repose night in the inner clothing in
which you have worked during the day
Have light, clean night-shirt, to take the
place of that full of perspiration and dust,
and enjoy to its fullest extent the refreshing
influence of the nights rest. Eat wholesome
and wel-prepared food, but avoid an exces,
sve use Of fresh meats. Drink sparngly OF
cold water during warm weatber-great In
jury often results from this cause.

Ess and Esses.

closing exercises. The author of that poem
Miss White, think you called her-bldS
fair to become known as poet.
1--WE think the authOress will become Gel
ebrated as a poetess, remarked the young
lady, pertly, with marked emphasis on two
words of the sentence.
"0h!-ah!l" replied the old gentleman,
looking thoughtfully over his spectacles at
the young lady. 81 heard her sister was
quite an actress, and under Miss Hosmer' 8
instructions will undoubtedly become quite
sculptoress.
The young lady appeared irritated.
"The seminary" continued the old gen.
tleman, with imperturbable gravity, sis for

the humblest teacheress unusual talent is
shown. There is Miss Harper, who as a
chemissress is unequaled, and Miss Knowles
has already reputation as an ASTRONOMERS
And in the department of music few can
equal Miss Kellogg as singeress.
The young lady did not appear to like the
chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa
at the other end of the room.
"Yes," continued the old gentleman, as il
talking to himself, "thOse White sisters arr

You have had long rest. 1t is now time
to bend the bows again. Are you ready, or
would you rather have little more play
time? Well, there was a King OF France
once who was allowed by his teacher to be
as idle as he pleased. When he grew to be
a man and became the ruler of his country,
ne spoke with bitterness of his indulgent
masters, saying, "Was there not birch
enough in the forests of FOntainbleau :
Those were the days when learning was
thrashed into boys. 1 have here what wise
Englishman who lived long ago said Of study.
1t may puzzle you a little in the reading; ii
so, read it twice. The passage is famous
one; when you grow older you will often
see some part of it quoted; then you will
known by whom it was written.

Eggs as Diet.

On this subject the Poultry Reuiew has
the following pertinent and suggestive re-
marks Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet? About
one-third of the weight of an egg is solid nu
triment. This is more than can be said OF
meat. There are no bones or tough pieces
that have to be laid aside. A good egg s
made up of 10 parts shell, so parts white,
and 80 parts yolk. The white of an egg
contains sc per cent water, the yolk of an
egg 50 per cent. The average of an egg is
about two ounces. Practically an egg is
animal food, and yet there is none of the dis
agreeable work of the butcher necessary to
obtain it. The vegetarians of England use
eggs freely, and many of these men are
eighty and ninety years old, and have been
remarkably free from illness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes. This takes away
the animal taste that is offensive to some,
but does not so harden the white or yolk as
to make them hard to digest. An egg, if
cooked very hard, is difficult of digestion,
except by those with stout stomachs; such
eggs should be eaten with bread and masti-
Gated very finely. An egg spread on toast
is food fit for king, if kings deserve ally
better food than anybody else, which is
doubtful. Fried eggs are less wholesome
than boiled ones An egg dropped into hot
water is not only clean and handsome, but
delicious morsel. Most people spoil the
taste of their eggs by adding pepper and
salt. A little sweet butter is the best dress
ing. Eggs contain much phosphorus, which
is supposed to be useful to those who use
their brains much.
