Women OF Seryia.

The correspondent of the London
News says: "The women to-day wore
on their heads red kerchefs with ends
hanging down their backs, embroidered
with coins, in which were often stuck
flowers, chiefly of red and white. They
were generally dressed in white, but in
variably with the brilliant apron sewed
down to the skirt, and often with gaud-
lily embroidered stomacher, or perhaps
breast-plate would he the most descrip-
tive term, studded with coins on black
velvet. The working dress of the women
i'm the fields is a short jacket, braided
and slashed in the fashion and of the cnt
of that worn by the men, a red and yell
low kerchief passed over the bosom, a
petticoat striped mostly in the parallel
stripes of Moorish pattern, but occasion
ally in checkers, which make the pattern
a tartan, a tapestry-like apron of brighter
colors than the petticoat, and bare legs
and feet.
The men are fine race, tall, with a
certain statcliness and selfrespect in
every gesture; their faces are almost al
ways good, and often quite intellectual

noble carriage. Occasionally among the
women face of pure Egyptian type was

Mr.. Garner's Heroic Devotion 10 Ills
Wife.

In an article on the recent disaster in
New York bay 10 the yacht Mohawk, a
writer in the Chicago Tribune says:
But after all, my sadness in the con
temptation of that miserable disaster is
almost outweighed by my admiration
of the heroic devotion which it evinced
Think of that poor wife, Mrs. Garner
imprisoned, bound down by those heavy
pigs of lead upon her dress, and her
bruised form completely locked by the
sofa and burea, while her agonzed hus-
band and his friend were tugginc, tug
ging at the struggling form, yet all in
vain Think Of the devoted husband,
after all his fruitless efforts, finding the
whelming waters rapidly rising around
them, taking her hand, and saying
" My darling, il cannot take you with
me, I'll 70 with you!" And there, be
meath the salt waves of New York bay,
within hundred yards of shore and
help, he "went with her."
Leander swan the Hellespont to greet
his "ladie love-" and his name has sur
vived the lapse Of time; but what was
that devotion compared with this, before
our very eyes almost? Every i'll and

this devoted love Of young millionaire

gild one of the most heartreDding dis

Where Nickel Comes From.

1t may not be generally known that
the nickel deposit near the Gap, Lancas-
ter county, Pa, is considered the largest
yet discovered in the world, and the
only deposit of the ore worked in Amer
lea. The mine is on the high dividing
line between Chester and Pequsa valleys
Besides nickel, copper, iron, and lime
stone are found in the same locolity.
Nickel was discovered here about the
year 1856, though copper, which is taken
from the same mine, was known in this
locality seventy years ago The ore has
gray color, is very heavy, and SO hard
that it is mined entirely by blasting.
After the ore has been broken into small
fragments it is put into kilns holding
eighty to ninety tons, and subjected to a
heat produced by the burning of small
quantity Of wood and continued by the
conversion of the expelled gas 1t is
then put into smelling furnace and un-
dergoes treatment similar to that of
iron ore.-Hutford Post.

TELESCOPE FIsH.-A number of curious
gold and silver fish from China. called
telescope fish," have jus, been ac-
quired by the Brighton company. The
popularity of these fish is the prominent
position of the eyes, which project con.
siderable distance from the head. This
feature is not natural, but an artificial
de'ormity, produced, no doubt, by breed
ing from deiorined fish accidentally in
jured in the first instance. The botly is
rounded in form, and the tail is connected
with IL by a prolongation of the caudal
fins on each side, giving it the heappearance
of having two tails,or rather of trailing
appendagc, like a mantel. The fish are
cultivated by the Chinese and kept for
ornamental purposes in aquaria. These
particular specimens are from about an
inch to three inches in length. When
full grown the fish are said TO attain a
weight of six or eight pounds. These

The rearing and feeding of animals,
are receiving N they should, from farm
ers and herdamen in all parts of the
country greater attention every year;
and especially Is this true Of dairymen
whose only hope of gain rests in their
success in obtaining paying yields from
their COWS. Corn stalks enter largely
into the fall feed Of dairy cows, and how
u feed them Ia the important question.
The common practice Il 10 feed them in

or willing to use a cutting machine.
This feeding bundle without any
preparation, l am fully satisfied, Is very
wasteful, a. not only are the butts left,
but frequently nearly the whole stalk.
! have learned by experience that little
brine sprinkled upon stalks once every
day, just before feeding. is Of material
advantage In many respects. The weak
brine will cause the COWS to consume
nearly all, even when fed whole; the
flow Of milk increases, the condition Of
the cows improves, and they show
greater contentment; especially Is the
last remark true ON cold, windy aud
rainy days. 6nsl II much better, as a
general rule, when it can be done, 10

it alone. In mo- case should more than

Cows should have access to plenty OF
water; this brine food will cause them
to drink more, and thus increase the flow
Of milk. Let my brothers try this and
