was discovered, during which time she
acted the part of fast young man to
perfection. She associated freely with

Happy Hammerschmidt.

lNeW 1OrK sun
Joseph Hammerschmidt of 96 Mont
rose avenue, Brooklyn, who recently
spent seven hours at the bunghole of a
cask of precious wine to prevent the es-
cape of the liquor, was married to a
widow in the Trinity Church in Montrose
avenue. Hammerschmidt's custom had
been, when cask of wine arrived from
Germany, to shut himself in his cellar
with his favorite dog and a bunch of
bologna sausage and cheese, and spend
the day bottling the wine. On this bot
tling day he refused to allow any one TO
remain in the house except himself. His
housekeeper spread his lunch in the cell
lar, put his dog there, too, and went
away. When Hanmerschmidt went be-
low he found the dog was eating his
lunch. He angrily took hold of the ami
nal, tied one end of rope to its neck
and the other to the spigot of the cask,
and raised club to beat him. The dog
jumped the full length of the rope, and
took the spigot with him. The wine
spurted out in stream, and Hammer
schmidt, dropping the club, ran to the
bunghOle, clapped his hand over it, and
soon stopped the flow. lie then began to
cry for help, but no one was in the house
to heed him, the echoes of his voice died
inside the cellar. For seven hours he
called for help, and held back the wine.
AT length, late in the afternoon, his cries
were heard, and he was relieved when he
was well nigh exhausted. The dog and
the spigct were going around the cellar
together out of the German reach. Ham
merschmidt made up his mind to run no
more risks, and offered himself to the
widow. who accented him.

John Ruskin's Remarks to Girls About
Dress.

Dress as plainly as your parents will
allow you, but in bright colors (if they
become you) and in the best materials
that is to say, in those which will wear
the longest. When you are really in
want of new dress, buy it (or make it)
in the fashion, but never quit an old one
merely because it has become unfashion-
able. And il the fashion be costly, you
must not follow it. You may wear
broad stripes, or narrow, bright colors, or
dark, short retticoats, or long lin moder-
ation), as the public wish you; but you
must not buy yards of useless stuff TO
make knot or flouncc OF, nor drag them
behind you over the ground, and your
walking dress must never touch the
ground at all. / have lest much of the
faith l once had in the common sense.
and even in the personal delicacy, of the
present race of average English women,
by seeing how they will allow their
dresses To sweep the streets, if il is the
fashion TO be scavengers. Learn dress
making yourself, with pains and time,
and use q part of every day in needle
work, maHng as pretty dresses as you
can for poor people who have not the
time or taste to make them nicely for
themselves. You are TO show them in
your own wearing what is most right
and graceful, and help them to choose
what will be prettiest and most becoming
in their own station.

The Blue of the Sky.

The color of the sky is said to be due
to the transmission of rays of light
through cloud of dust which collects
above the earth. Professor Nordenski-
old examined the snow which covered
the icebergs rs far north as eighty de-
grees, and found it strewn with multi
tude of minute black particles, spread
over the surface, or situated at the bot
tom of little pits, number of which
were seen on the outward layer of snow.
Many of such particles were also lodged
in the inferior strata. This dust, which
became gray on drying, contained a large
propoI tion of metallic particles attracted
by the magnet, and capable of decom-
posing sulphate of copper. An observa-
tion made little later upon other ice
bergs proved the presence of similar
dust in layer of granular crystalline
snow, situated beneath another stratum
OF light, fresh, hardened snow. Upon
analysis, this matter was found TO he
composed OF metallic iron, PHOSPHORUS,
cobalt, and fragments of diatomace@. Ii
bears the greatest analogy to the dust
previously collected by the professor in
the SHOWS of Greenland, and described
by him under the name of "kryo-
konite."

American Cattle and Beef in England.

The importation of American cattle to
Glasgow appears to be trade of growing
! Dimensions. IL seems that the expert
ment was first made in 1873, and on the
llth OF August of that year six cattle
arrived at Glasgow from America. Dur.
ing four succeeding weeks twenty-four
cattle were brought, and the number
was gradually increased till it reached
fifty per week, in October. The ship
ments of cattle then ceased until last
year, when in June one hundred to one
hundred and fifty cattle were landed
weekly. This rate of importation was
continued weekly until October. Moth
ing further was done in 1875, but ar
rangements were made for the more Wig
orOus prosecution of the trade this year.
Accordingly the shipping of cattle was
recommended in July, and since then
from $50 to $50 head have reached Glas-
Cow every week, exclusive of deliveries
IN London and Liverpool Last week
l64 cattle were sold in Glasgow, and
brought on an average e33 each. Never,
1T is stated, did a lot reach 80 much on
the average. Dead meat is also imported
in large quantities. The first sale was
held on the 9th of June, when 100 car.
cases of beef and ~ of mutton were dig
posed Of Since then about $50 carcasses
on the average have been sold weekly.
Last week 2l0 carcasses were sold, and
on Wednesday evening there might have
been seen passing through the streets of
Glasgow to the cattle market the un-
common procession of 33 lorries, each
laden with three tons of butchers meat.
The freight paid for carriage to Glasgow,
Liverpool and London last week
to 91,900. Altogether, since
the importation began, ], l,25O, 900 pounds
of dead meat has been sold in Glas-
gov. About 1000 cattle were last
week exposed in Glasgow market and of |
these 1865, dead and alive, were imported
from America. Cattle killed Oh Thurs
day in New York are sold t1at day fort
night in Glasgow. In the course of q
month or so the importation of live cat
tie will ce ase for the winter, but arrange
ments are being made for increasing the
dead meat supply, and it is expected to
be not less all the winter than two hun
lred carcasses week.

Care Of Boots and Shoes.
Hearth and Home.1

Boots and shoes, if taken care of prop
erly, will usually last two or three times
longer than they generally do, and at the
same time fit the feet far more satisfactor-
lily, and keep them dry and more COM
upper leather should be kept soft and
pliable, while the soles need to be hard,
tough and impervious. The first thing
to be done with any pair of new shoes for
farm use is to set each one on platter
or an old dinner plate and POUR in boiled
linseed oil sufficient to fiji the vessel to
the upper edge of the soles. Allow the
leather to absorb as much oil as it will
for eight hours. LiRseed oil should not
be applied TO the upper leather, as it will
soon becomc dry, rendering the leather
hard and tough. If the soles be satur-
ated with this oil it will exclude the
dampness and enlarge the pegs 30 that
the sole will never get loose from the
upper leather Ii the shoes be sewed the
lihseed oil will preserve the threads from
rotting. Now, wet the upper leather
thoroughly when the boots or shoes are
TO be nut on the feet, so that those parts
which are tight may render trife, and
thus adapt the form of the shoe to the
foot far more satisfactorily than when
the upper leather Is not wet Keep
them on the feet until the leather is
nearly dry. Then give the upper leather
a thorough greasing with equal parts of
lard and tallow or with tallow and heats
foot oil. If shoes be treated in this man.
ner, and n row of round.headed shoe
nails be driven around the edge of the
soles, they will wear like copper, and
always set easy to the feet. Boots and
shoes should be treated as suggested, and
worn little several months before they
are put to daily service. This Is the
true way TO save your shoe money.

"reminiscences OF Bismarck.

M. Klaczko says that Prince Bismarck
is true German in his love of symbols.
In 1862, when he was finally about to
quit his post at ST.. Peterburg, he re-
ceived the visit of colleague, foreign
diplomatist. Russia being mentioned,
the future chancellor of Germany said :
81 have the habit, when leave coun-
try in which l have sojourned for any
length of time, to dedicate to it one of
the trinkets on my watch chain, on which
/ cause my final impression of the coun-
try TO be engraved; would you like to
know my final impression Of Russian
And he showed to the somewhat puzzled
diplomatist lite trinket on which was
engraved the words, "La Russie c'est Ie
neantP' His inexbaustible hilarity and
flow Of talk made him great favorite
at ST. Petersburg, where he vented his
railing humor chiefly at the expense of
his superiors in Berlin, "the perukes of
PotsdaM;" aud during his two months
stay at Paris he was almost as great
favorite as on the banks of Neva. His
eccentric ways made him great puzzle
in the steady-going world of diplomacy;
the general verdict would probably have
expressed itself in significant tapping
of the forehead. Napoleon III whispered
to Prosper Merimee that he was mad.
When youthful country gentleman, he
threw himself bravely into the water to
save his groom, and gained that medal
for saving human lite which for years
was the sole decoration on the broad
breast of the Minister OF Prussia at
Frankfort. On being questioned one
day by a colleague at the Bund as to his
decoration, of the nature of which the
corps was ignorant, he replied
in that tone of voice peculiarly his own,
that once by accident he had saved a
man; in idleness of course; and it would
have taken but little further questioning
for him to have replied that it was but to
take exercise in swimming that he had

The Cathedral at Upsala, Sweden.

The cathedral occupies the site of al
old heathen temple, and ancient tiadi
tions speak of its immense size and enor
nous wealth. The building was com
menced six hundred years ago, but wal
not finished till one hundred and fifty
years later; it bears the impress, how
ever, Of many renovations, although
truly inspiring in size and unique in
character. Behind the altar, at the end
of the church, which is three hundred
and seventy feet in length, is a chapel
called the Gustavian chapel, principally
sightworthy for its central monument in
marble. This consists of a catafalque
some six or eight feet high, the four cor
ncrs surmounted by high Obelisks. On
this catafalque rest three marble statues
of life size, representing Gustavus l and
two of his wives. The walls of this
chapel are covered between the windows,
of painted glass, with series of seven
frescoes, painted forty or fifty years ago,
and representing important events in the
life of Gustavus. Most of the principal
characters are of life size. The first
represents him asking aid of a municipal
council against the Danes; in the second
he is in the disguise Of Dalecarlian
peasant; in the third he is addressing a
company Of peasants; the fourth is
battle scene the fifth is his triumphant
entry into Stockholm in the sixth he is
being presented with the first Swedish
translation of the Bible; the seventh
him with his sons at his side,
seated on the throne and addressing his
Parliament.
Leaving the Gustavian Chapel the Wis
itor is shown the treasures of the cathe-
dral, among which is an ancient image
of the heather God Thor. There are
also several golden crowns belonging to
past kings, for this cathedral was long
the coronation place of Swedish sover-
eigns. Here, too, is a golden chalice,
with other valuable things, brought from
Prague during the Thirty Years War.
At the side of the altar is silver casket
Or shrine plated with gold; this is some
three or four feet long, and is said to
contain the bones Of st. Eric, the patron
saint of Stockholm, who died in the year
l160. 1t was he who put an end to the
continued wars which had ragged between
the worshjpers of Odin and the Christians
rom the time of the first introduction of
into Sweden, about the year
200. There are many tombs and mural
some of which are five hun
1red years old. But no one will forget
% look for the name of Linneus, who

IN obelisk projects from a side wall near
he end opposite to the altar, and bears
he name and medallion portrait of Lin
