BREAKING IN a kING.-We vaguely re-
call II custom. says the milwaukee, Seminal,
said to prevail among Il tribe of ncrroc,
in the interior Of Africa. When the kinr
dies the heir apparent is first seized by the
people and clothed in the most wrctched
garments. Then he is seated upon The
ground. and the people aI,!rrS, him in the
vile,t language and treat him to Il per
feet shower OF abusive terms After thi,
they attack him and drive him through
the st:cets. peltiny him with mud the
while and flashing him vigorously with
switches. At the close of this interesting
performance he is washed, arravcd in the
most gorgeous apparel. treated with the
most lavish courtesy and respect, crowned
with infinite ceremony. and forever after
obeyeI. This tribe is so remote
from civilization that only Il few hardy cX-
plure'S have penetrated its territory.
Hence these negroes must be acquitted of
having deliberately organized Il burlcsquc
upon the American system of choosing Il
ruler; O, herWisc it would be ditficult to
resist the conviction that the practice had
some such sinister purpose.

Washing Day.

As washing day, in Germany, only
comes two or tlrce times year, it is II
great occasion. The women of the
house, assisted by others, vanish into
the cellar during the first day, from
which thoy emerge ut evening with great
baskets piled high with wet, clean linen,
ready to be taken to tue bleaching field.
This field is about half mile from most
Of the houses and is tho property Of the
town. II is point Of low meadow land
which extends ont into tho river. At
one side is little stone hut in which IL
man and dog pass the night guarding
the clothes. III the center OF the field is
a stone.curbod well. Hither in the even
ing the clothes arc brought on trucks,
frequently drawn by large dogs, and
here, in the cool Of tho dry, th.y are
spread upon the grass, sprinklod from
large tin watering pots, and left for the
dews to finish the work which tho soap
suds have begun. On bright morning
tho various groups on the bleaching
field make very pretty picture. The
peasant girls, with old hanlkcrcliefs or
wells tied over their heads, gay stuff
dresses and barc feet, run about between
the long rows Of snowy linen, or stand
on tip.toe ut the lines. Others stand
awaiting their turn ut the well with
watering pots on their heads, or ut the
tubs up to their elbows in the rinsing
water one refreshes herself with long
drink Of water from m upliftcd Jug a
group Of women sit in the shadow of
the stone hut eating their breakfast of
black bread and sausage, while tho chill
dren make themselves useful by chasing
stray pieces which the wind whisks
away, or ornamentally turning somer.
sa,llts and playing leapfrog. Everything
is stirring and fresh and pretty to see,
and invests even tho practical washing
dry with M aureole Of poetry.

Tho New York Cattle Market.

The annual statement Of receipts and
prices Of cattle, sheep and hogs Mt New
York for the year 1875 is given as fol-
lows: Tho totals arO 49,, All beeves,
5,OSG mich cows, lists calves, 1885,
084 sheep and lambs, and 1,3SS,5l4 hogs,
showing decrease, compared with 1874,
Of 1,662 bceves, and 1856, TOT hogs; and
M increase Of l 40 mich cows, 14,O7O
calves and 68, 1881 sheep and lambs. The
largest number Of beeves received III
one week is recorded for the week end
ing with August 80 F.; the smallest num-
Der arrived during the week ending
March s. The largest number Of sheep
reached this market in tho last week in
July, and tho smallest number in the
first week in April. The week ending
with November Is give the largest mum.
Der Of hogs, and the smallest number
is recorded for the week ending Au.
gust %.
In respect to the quality OF tho beef
cattle there Inns been general complaint
throughout tho greater part OF the year.
Tho nativc steers were, for tho most
part, forced into the market before they
werc fat and ripe for the butcher, and
tho Texas and Cherokee cattle and Colo.
rado half breeds were not up to the
mark desired by New York slaughterers,
Sheep and lambs, especially during tho
first and last quarter Of the year, have
been above tho average OF former years,
both in respect to weight and quality.
Hogs have ranged q triac better than
for last year, but m Improvement Of
% per cent. in this direction for the
next year will no more than meet the
changed character Of the trade.
Compared with last year, the average
price Of beef cattle has been about one.
quarter cent per pound higher, with the
highest mark reached during tho four
weeks beginning with June q, and end
ing with July y. The average price
Of sheep for the year is forty cents pcr
one hundred pounds lower than it was
for last year, which may be fairly at.
tributed to the lower ruling OF wool.
There has been but small trade in live
hogs here for the reason, mainly, that
the slaughterers have considered it fol-
thoir interest to supply themselves nj
most wholly by purchases in Chicago,
Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but the quota
tons show m advance in the average
price for tho year equal to more than 81
per one hundred pounds.

Giye MS tho Old Cow Yet.

The achievements in science arc very
great; but they arc not always III q
direction to make IFS more confident in
the food wo eat. For instance good,
prime butter is now made out OF such
substances as have usually been included
under the term soap grenec. An ex.
pertinent was tried with tub OF
grcase-butter-that is, butter that has
been kept so long rs to turn rancid, To
become covered with blue mold, and, in
brief, by chemical change Of its pro,
prieties, changed into grease, with n
most nnuscating smell, 1T for nothing
but lnbrilating purposes With this
was mixed n quantity Of tallow, some Of
which Ind passed through the machinery
Of printing Office, and had absorbed
PARTICLES OF black lead and mineral oxides
IRON contact with tho bearings of The
shaftings. Then common tallow can
die was put in, and tho whole compound
was melted together. This was submit
ted to the new process, and after going
through it was pronounced by learned
analytical chemist "Prime stubble.fed
butter"
1t may not make much difference, ms
long rs tho taste appears to be the same,
what we eat. 1t is an axiom that nothing
is unclcan in science. But the idea OF
being fed oil such stuff as this is not
altogether pleasant; mud, after al, We
arc inclined TO think that tho old fash
toned chemical process Of the COW Is
better than any that can DO invented, for
making table butter. saws r.. q. Be-.

Experiences In Battle.

good soldiers will widely disagree rs to

it to DO piece Of bravado in any man to
assert that lie had no fear during the
progress Of a long and severe engage

while it lasts is to be either drunk, crazy,
or inSensiblc. The highest type OF bra.

their loud humming overhead does not

The peculiar cutting Of the air made by

A Brutal Husband.

One Of the most brutal crimes ever
committed was i'll New York, OH Christ.
mas night. The victim was MI ,lufortu-
nate invalid, the wife OF Ohm Nannery,
No. 50 South Fifth aycnuc. Nnnucty
beat her to death rs she lay in her bed,
helpless. Such sight us this poor wO.
man afforded when discovered il, hnI
PLY, rarely met with among civilized
beings. Whole handfuls OF her hair
had been torn from the scalp, her face
was absolutely unacceptable, blood
covered almost every portion Of her
body, aud her scant clothing was burnt
almost to tho flesh. Enough Of it, how
ever, still remained to show that 1t had
been thoroughly saturated with kero.
scne. She was unable to articulate n
single word, bnt n subdued moaning,
that pierced ono TO tho very heart, con.
Stantly escaped her lips. The brutal
husband had saturated her clothing with
kerosene and set it on fire, b1t tho po-
lice succeeded in quenching the flames,
but the poor woman shortly after died.
She was only 20 years Of age and very
pretty. Her husband was not drunk,

The Deacon'S Order.

Deacon S., residing in town adioin.
ing Worcester, Mass, was n good, pious
man, but sadly illiterate. Ono day he
gave to tho stage driver p slip OF paper
upon which he had written M order for
some books, which no wished tho driver
to bring him from the store OF Mr.. A.,
i'll Worcester. The driver called at tho
designated store, and handing tho slip
to the nearest clerk, informed him that
it WINS an order for some books which
Deacon s. wished sent to him.
The clerk examined tho paper crit.
cally-turned it up and d0wn-but
could make nothing Of it, and he passed
it to tho bookkceper, who was seldom
stuck by blind chirography. But the
bookkecper met with no better success
than had attended the efforts Of tho
clerk. The proprietor was called, and
he, too, soon gave tho scrawl up in de-
spair and it was finally concluded best
to send tho paper back to the deacon for
further calculation.
As the stage coach approached the
village tavern tho deacon was waiting
upon the steps.
"Well, driver" he said, rs the coach
stopped, "did you get my booksi"
"Books No, Of course l didn't.
There wasn't n man in Worcester could
read your old spider tracks"
"Couldu't read 'ritin'i Let me see
il you gave 'em the right paper."
The driver took the paper from his
wallet and passed it over, and the dea.

"Why," he exclaimed, "it's rs plain rs
the nose on your face. See here, and
he spelled out, letter by letter-"'T.o

Gracious mel I guess them Worcester
folks had better go to school and learn

Perhaps the deacon thought tho laugh
which followed from tho hystandcrs was
in response to his cutting sarcasm upon
tho ignorance Of "them Worcester
