TEE PROnIGAI

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbiaIly
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from
the mine, refined and coined by the labor of
other hands and the sweat of other brows
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate of its value.
When the donor weighed it, he east into the
balance so many days of unremitting and fa-
ugulng toll, so many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much self-denial and so much care
But the inheritor into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one values ii by what it cost
him; the other, for what it will purchase.
Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable,
he thOughtlessly expends il to crafty the
caprice and cravings Of his nature. Then
comes the last scene-the misery, the re-
morse, and the long and wearisome journey
back to the home of frugal industry. But
there are other prodigas. On her favorites
our bOunteOus parent Nature, has layished
her richest treasure-heslth. But the prodi-
gal values it lightly, for it cost him naught,
ana recklessly squanders it in riotous living.
Present pleasure obscures future want Soon
the curtain rises on the last scene. We see
him helpless, impoverished - the rich
treasures of body and mind all lost-in mis-
cry and despair. RemOrseful Conscience
holds up to him the mirror of memory. In
his own reckless folly he perceives the cause
Ut his present pain. He resolves to return.
The journey is long and tedious, but if he

at length see the haven of his hopes in the
distance, and Nature, seeing her invalid
child afar off, will come out to meet him,
and receive him back with love and blessing.

Personal Appearance of Gen.
DiaZ.

Diaz, of Mexico, is said to possess a
face of stubborn fortitude. There is
even something gruff and gloomy in the
contraction of his heavy eyebrows if he
sinks into the deeper fits of silence, but
once fairly engaged in an interesting
conversation his features are lighted up
by merry wrinkles of hunor or sparks
of caustic wit, and if reused by indigna-
ton flame up in flashes of defiance that
reveal the fiery soul within. The eyes
of Diaz are low; that is, be has de-
liberate way of gradually centering his
focus of vision on your face, but after
that his look assumes an intense power
of scrutiny. He wears full black
beard, rounded by nipping here and
there TO an average length of three
inches; is above the medium height of
his countrymen, but appears thick set
on account of the enormous girth of his
chest, and has in his walk that ponder
Gus, ieonine bearing which is found
among the Turks alone of all southern
nations of the present day.

Training Tor the Flying Trapeze.

Says New York correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune: Considering the
number of flying trapeze performers at
tached to various circus organizations
and variety shows through the country,
it is hardly surprising that there should
exist in this city two regular training
schools to prepare the performers in the
dangerous art. In fact, it will be found
that in almost every well ordered pub
lie gymnasium in the country the
trapeze is part of the apparatus, and
trapeze performances part of the regu-
lar exercises. But as the gymnasiums
are for men only, the training schools
are principally patronized by females.
One of these institutions is in former
dancing hall, on Avenue A, near Temp
kins Square, and is in charge of a re-
tired circus rider. 1t is regarded as q
second-class affair. The other is in
close proximity to the more aristocratic
quarter of Lexington Avenue, and is
kept by professor and wife, both of
whom have won honors in public.
Their so-called school consists of
large apartment with a heavy coating
of sawdust on the floor, and stout
netting half way between the trapeze
and the ground. This is a protection
only against the flying acts. In the be-
ginning pupils are exercised upon the
trapeze which hangs within eight feet
of the ground, which gives them conf
dence, as a fall from that height to the
ground can never be serious. The pu-
pills are mostly females, though males
are taught at different hours. The Pro-
lessor says that young women can be
taught far more daring acts in half the
space of time required for men. He
says they are biaver than men. One
statement made by the Professor seems
almost incredible. He says he has fire.
quent applications from young women
of good rank in society who are fascin-
ated by the idea of becoming trapeze
performers, and one of the very best
pupils he ever had, who could execute
wonderful feats in the air, belonged to
a wealthy city family. She never ap-
peared in public, and why she perse-
vered in the trying ordeal required for
perfection in this art he never could
comprehend.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

GINGER-BREAD.-2t eacups New Or
leans molasses, 2 teacups boiling water,
I cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoonful
of ginger, teaspoonfuls of soda. Add
-four enough to make smooth batter.
Beat well.
BREAKFAST RoLLs.-Ffour, quarts,
sugar, tablespoonful, butter, table
spoonful, ! cup of yeast, pint scalded
milk or water if milk is scarce, and a
little salt. Set to rise until light; then
knead until hard, and set to rise, and
when wanted, make in rolls. Place a
piece Of butter between the folds, and
bake in slow over.
SPANISH BUNs.-1 pint of flour, 1
pint OF sugar, cup of sweet milk, 1 cup
of butter, 4 eggs, beat separate, table,
spoon OF cinnamon, teaspoon cloves,
l teaspoon OF soda, 2 teaspoons cream
tartar, or 8 spoons of baking-powder.
Bake on tins, an inch thick, and when
taken from the oven, sprinkle with
white sugar while hot.
TAP1oCA PUDDING.-4 tablespoonfuls
OF tapioca, quart of milk, eggs
Qeaying out the whites of 2 for FROST
ing), 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar. Soak
the tapioca over night or for several
hours in little water. Boil the milk
and turn over the tapioca. Add, when
it is blood warm, the sugar and eggs
well beaten; bake about an hour, and,
after it has cooled little, add the whites
of the eggs to pound sugar for FROST
ing. 1t answers well for a sauce, and
looks quite ornamental.
CHICKEN PIE.-Make the crust like
baking powder biscuit, only a trife
shorter. Roll half an inch thick and
line four-quart tin-pan with it. Have
ready small chickens, boiled till ten
der. Place the pieces of chicken
smoothly in the pan; sprinkle salt, and
pepper, and little -four over them;
add few pieces of butter, size of
hazelnut, about large tablespoonful
in all +; pour on little of the liquor they
were boiled in; then roll the top crust
rather more than half an inch thick;
cut large stars or air-holes in it. Bake
till crust is thoroughly done.
BREAKFAST ROLLS OR MUFFINs.-1
pint sour milk, teaspoon each of soda
and salt, egg well beaten, and flour
enough to make it so stiff it will hardly
drop from the spoon-perhaps may
need little help. Have your gem
irons already hot on the stove. grease
them and put in your batter. If your
irons are shallow, fill each cup full
heap them even; but If they are deep,
L think three-fourths full will be suf-
ficient. Bake in q quick oven. There
is as much in baking as any thing.
They will puff out and over, and be a
nice golden brown. They are still bet
ter if you have part sour cream and
another egg.

old baby, wet to the skin, crying faint
ly with fright and cold, and ready to
die from the exposure had it continued
longer. She did not stay to look at it
twice, bat ran back to the shelter of the
sand hills, snatched off its saturated
clothes, and wrapped it in her own
thick shawl rolled over and over till it
was swathed like an Indian baby. Then
she put its face under her chin to warm
it in her neck, rocked it to and fro, lift
ed it up to gaze at it again and to kiss
it, and the child opened a pair of great
wide dark eyes and looked in her face
aud laughed. Had heaven come down
bodily, Mrs. Brenton could have been
no happier than she was that moment.
She ran back to the phaeton and estab-
lished herself, and waited for her hus-
band, while the child fell asleep in her
arms; and she built castles for the little

to claim him, and she watched the de-

was still inspecting his losses and crack

A Very Ingenious Swindle.

A very ingenious swindle was perpe-
trated on prominent dry-goods house
on Thursday, when finely dressed
lady appeared in the shawl department,
and, after careful examination, select
ed camels' hair shawl, costing about
800, for which she rendered in pay
ment $1,000 bill, which was carefully
scrutinized by the cashier, who, doubt
ing his own power of discrimination,
dispatched messenger to the bank to
ascertain the genuineness of the bill.
Meanwhile the lady customer had be-
come anxious to procure the change,
and had approached the locality occu-
pied by the man of scrip, when the
messenger returned and announced in
an audible tone that the cashier of the
bank said that the bill was good. The
lady upon hearing this waxed exceed
ing wroth, and demanded to know
"whether he thought that she would
attempt to pass counterfeit BILL"
OF course, apologies and explorations
we're of no avail; and, assuming to be
highly indignant, she refused to pur-
chase the shawl, demanded her money,
and departed from the store the very
embodiment of righteous indignation.
A couple of hours afterward she re-
turned considerably Modified, and con-
fessed that she was pleased with the
shawl, and that her inability to find
one which she liked as well was the
only reason she returned, and she con-
Guided to take it. The obliging sales
man delightedly wrapped up the shawl,
while the courteous cashier, disdaining
to entertain suspicion against such a
lady, proceeded to count out the 5000
change, with which and her shawl the
lady departed. The feelings of that
store-keeper can be better imagined
than described when he awoke to
realizing sense of the fact that his lady
customer had, after all his precaution,
succeeded in passing upon him coun-
terfeit $1,000 bill. 1t appears that, an
ticipating just what had occurred, she
had provided herself with good bill,
which played its part in the early stages
of the game, after which it retired in
favor of the ounterfeit.-Bosto1s Globe.

The Father of Twenty-Five Chill
dren.

A message was sent to Coroner
Simms in Brooklyn, on Friday, that a
child had been found dead at 120 John
Street, and that Catharine Trsinor, its
mother, accused its father, Michael
Trainor, of falling on it while intexicat-
ed and crushing it. Capt. Crafts
found the child's body bruised. A sore
was on its head. He ascertsined that
on Wednesday James and John Trainor,
the sons of Michael Trainor, quarreled
while drunk. Their father, who was
also drunk, tried to separate them, and
in the attempt he was pushed back
over the child's crib on top of its body.
He was so drunk that he lay for some
time where he had fallen. Mrs. Train
or was also drunk, and her husband
accuses her of lying on the child and

ONE of the best methods now known
for raising sunken ships is that in which
air bags are employed. The mode OF
procedure is as follows: Chains are
passed under the ship at various points
and connected, so that in case of sud-
den lurch they will not fall off. To
these chains are now attached empty
bags of some raw material, which are
filed with air by means of force pumps
in the ship above. AS they displace a
quantity of water greater than the
weight of the ship, the whole affair
rises to the surface.
