A AFreuchman on Borrowiug.

The borrower. A sketch by Au-
relien Scholl, in LEuenement: "The
borrowing race is the noble race. A
native pride. an instinct of sovereignty
are apparent in the attitude of the bor-
rover. He who lends is sad and
thoughtful; the necessity of obedience
is written on his brow. Born to be
useful and to be used, he has in his
aspect something humble and folorn
contrasted signally with the constant
good humor. the air of conquest, the
amiable audacity of him that shears
him. To the borrowing class belong
all great Kings. ministers and women.
From Alcibiades through Caesar and
Mirabeau the brilliant succession des-
cends to the last rulers of France,
Spain and Turkey. Health smiles on
the borrowers brow; his faith in Provi-
dence is firm, and he is careless of the
fluctuations of stocks. Meum and tuum
those sources of all human contentious
and miseries. are pleasantly coDfound-
ed in his eyes. The present has no
care for him the future can have but
little. The earth is his and the full
ness thereof. and he has only to enter
upon his estates. Destroying vain
distinctions invented by Legislators,
the man that lives by borrowing re-
wives the original idea of community.
He alone knows how to live: he is
the only aristocrat of the universe.

AerOlitss.-Aerolites have lately at
tracted unwonted attention owing to
one of them having come down with
"A thump on Windsor Castle. This in
cident would, however. have caused no
surprise in countries where the fall of
meteoric stones from the skies Is al
most as common as the shower of stones
and other missiles hurled by the play
full youths of London from railway
bridges at passing trains. In the My
sore Provences the fall of erolites is,
saws a BangaloTe papereommon enough
and DIR. Haynes in his Statistical Frdg-
ment on MysOre, drawn up in the year
1900, state that Masses of immense
size are said to have fallen from the
clouds at different periods. In the lat
ter part of Tippo Sultan's reign it is on
record, and well authenticated, that a
piece fell near Seringapatam of the
size Of an elephant, which, by the Sui
tan's officers was reported to produce
the effect of fire on the skin of those
who touched it; comparison naturally
made by persons ignorant of extreme
frigidity. 1t is stated that two days
elapsed before it was entirely dissolved.
during which time it exhaled such a
stencil as to prevent people from ap-
preaching it. This account Is in the
public record of TipoOs reign, from a
gentleman of the greatest respecta-
bility of character, and high IN the
civil service of the honorable Com
pany.

When we reached the roadsteaf wfere

When we reached the roadstead where
the castle in the air was anchored, the
sun broke through the clouds, and we
were assured by the Professor that we
should have splendid view. After
climbing into the car and taking our
seats. the signal was given and slowly
we began to leave the earth. There
were the houses far below, presenting
their roofs and their chimneys to break
our fall in case of accident. The sad
thought was that we should have to
drop more than five hundred feet in a
straight line before we could even Ian
on a chimney. We did not seem to be
going away from the earth, but the
earth appeared to be dropping away
from us. The carriages appeared small
enough TO hang on ones watch-chain
for charms; and as for the human be-
ings, the effect of our elevation was very
peculiar. We saw them, of course,
greatly fore-shortened. They seemed
to be not more than foot or eighteen
inches long. But when they walked
we could see the full length of the
stride. 1t was a very curious sight
men only foot long taking steps three
feet in length. The old seven-leagued
boots seemed no longer myth.
Pretty soon 1 caught the Professor
emptying huge sand bag.
"What is that fory" l said
"To go up higher" he answered.
/ looked at the little woman who sat
beside me, and said, "Higher?"
A nod in the affirmative.
"There's pluck" | said in my heart;
and in half minute we could look
down on the entire town, and, indeed,
upon such view we could hardly speak,
so impressed were we with the magni-
ficence of the great picture that lay far,
far below us. To say that We enjoyed
it, after the trepidation was over, is to
speak in feeble language. Who would
not enjoy sitting in the lap of friendly
cloud, and looking down upon mi les of
green pasture and throbbing towns?
But all excitement must end; so we
took an atfectionate farewell of the upper
air and Of the mists that brushed by US,
and soon stepped again upon the planet,
glad TO have been for once cup above
the world so high"

The Makeup Of Long IsiGnd.-lt is
not questioned, we believe, that Long
Island is n terminal glacial moraine,
and that the material of which it Is
composed is the debris of regions over
which the ice moved in its progress to-
wards the sea. Its underlying pOr-
tions are beds of laminated sands and
clays which have been referred to peri
ods antecedent to the advent of the ice,
and which constitute in one sense a
part of the island. Its great mass,
however, overlies these beds, and pre-
sents two general forms of structure.
One is known as the .'unmodified bowl
der drift" in which there are no strait
fed beds; the other is the modified
drift or that in. which the material
has been distributed in layers chiefly
by the action of waves. Much of the
hill region of the island present the
peculiar pell-mell structure of the one
the stratified gravels and sands of
Southern Long Island are typical cf
the other. These differences in struc-
ture, and other facts to be mentioned,
imply great changes in the relative
level of land and sea upon the coast

Dispersion of fPidnts.-From statistics
regarding the distribution of the fora
of Europe, the curious conclusion Is
reached that those plants having seeds
or fruit with special appendages to aid
in their dispersion, are generally less
widely scattered than those destitute
of such helps. The single exception is
in the case of seeds provided with tufts
of hair-technically termed coma
which have very broad range. The
seeds of the willows are furnished with
a coma. and SO are the milk weeds. DIR.
Gray states that these last plants which
are ''the most composed of the higher
ORDERS" have not wide range in
North America. 1t is also found, from
a study of the European flora, that
plants whose flowers bear but a single
seed are more broadly distributed than
those bearing two or more seeds in each
cell. Plants with albGminous seeds
somewhat surpass in range theex- -albu-
minOus seeds, have the longest known
vitality, and best bear exposure to
sea water. Large genera have a slight
ly greater dispersion than small ones,
and variable species than those not es-
pecially so.

A Youngstown. Ohio, young man
and a young lady have made a bet. The
Viadicdtor says: ''The girl being Til
den man and her lover Hayes man,
she made the following proposit ion,
which was perfectly legitimate, this be-
ing leap year: 'If Tilden was elected, ,
the young man was to marry the girl
If Hayes was elected the girl was to
marry the young man. The couple are
in terrible state of suspense. Every
night they each get daily paper sus-
ssining their political belief, and COM
pare notes. They cannot decide who is
to marry which. 1t appears to be
complicated case on the face of the re-
turns" OF course he will marry her.

Panic is, OF course, one Of the things
against which it ia most easy TO preach
but which IL is most difficult to preach
down, Still If ii could be got Into the
heads of all the people in their cooler
hours that, In case of an alarm of fire
in theatre, the principal danger comes
from themselves and is in their own
control, it is probable that, even under
the influence of sudden excitement and
fear, many who now would show a bad
example might then show good one.
Not very long ago a sudden alarm took
place in one of the best of the Paris
theatres. Ii was not alarm of fire, 1t
was only Gathering and crashing
among the branches, chains and lamps
of the huge glass chandelier which hung
from the roof. Those who were under
the chandelier thought it was coming
down upon them, and made wildly for
the doors. The theatre was well enough
constructed, and had many outlets, but
in an instant some of the passages were
completely jammed and ehoked by ex-
cited people. Luckily a single instant
was enough to allow one of the per-
formers on the stage to see and explain
the whole cause of alarm, and to con-
vince the fugitives that there was no
danger. The whole stampede was set
goiug by the sudden pattering OF hall
stones through an open window among
the metal and glass of the chandelier.
In that instant the alarm was but mo-
mentary, and in many parts of the house
was unobserved. Yet it was evident to
all ceol observers that had it lasted only
a few minutes longer and been allowed
to spread, the passages and doors would
have been hopelessly choked by panic
stricken crowd, and some loss of life
would most infallibIv have occurred.

MINCE PIE.-Very rich mince meat.
Procure fresh beef's tongue, rub it
over with salt, brown sugar and pow
dered cloves; let lay three days, then
wash and boil slowly two hours; skin
it and mince very fine, or take four
pounds of the round of beef-reject all
fat-boil slowly in a small quantity of
water until tender, and mince when
cold; shred and mince one pound beet
suet, store four pounds of the richest
raisins, two pounds currants, one pound
citron cut very fine, the grated yellow
rind of two lemons and two oranges
and their juice, two tablespoonfuls of
powdered cinnamon, four grated nut
megs, one tablespoonful cloves, one
tablespoonful mace, and one tablespoon
ful ginger, ten pounds granulated
sugar, one pound of sweet almonds and
one ounce of bitter ones; prepare as for
cake; and four pounds OF very finely
minced tart apples, if you wish apple
is not put in the very richest pies) ;
mix all together and moisten with a
quart of champagne cider and a pint OF
brandy, or a quart of Madeira wine in
stead OF cider, and bake in sweet puff
paste.

VALUE OF CoNDIMENTs.-By conIi-
ments we mean substances like sugar,
spices, vinegar, and uthers that are en-
ployed to impart flavor and piqusncy to
the staple foods. They are usually re-
garded as non-essential, and some
writer's on dietics have gone so far as to
condemn their use, unless in rare in
stances and in the most infinitesimal
proportions. Like all good things they
are liable to be abused, but when
properly used they are valuable ele-
ments in our daily food.
Condiments have an important in
fluence upon the process of digestion
and nutrition. The mere sight or
thought of savory dish snakes the
mouth water, THAT is, it makes the
salivary glands pour out their secretion
copiously, which is an important stage
in digestion, especially for certain arti-
cles of food. Experiments made upon
dogs show that similar effect is pro-
duced upon the gastric secretion, and
thus the work of digestion is further
promoted. The loss of the sense of taste
would be not merely loss of enjoy
ment, but a positive injury to the d;
gestive system. The very smell of food
may do us good, just as certain odors
will restore u person who has tainted.
1t does not follow because condiments
are useful, that we may not have too
much of them; on the contrary, their
best effect depends upon their being
used:in moderation. The more decided
the flavor of any article OF food, the
sooner does it pail upon the appetite. 1t
is one of the peculiar merits OF French
cookery that fiavOrs are so delicately
blended; no one is specially prominent,
and yet by their different combinations
a wonderful variety of fappetizing effects
is produced. We Yankees, like the
English, are apt to use condiments in
coarse reckless way, and thus miss their
finer and more exquisite effects, besides
losing much of the benefit that might
be derived from them. By nicer care
in their employment, the plainest and
simplest diet might be made at once
more delicious and more digestible.-

Sailing COws.-My practice, says an
old dairy man, is to give my cows all the
salt hay they will eat, three times a
week, during the summer season. The
amount consumed by them is greater
while in flush feed than short. The
amount of milk returned by the cows is
from quarter to third more than
when salted but once a week. 1t may
be that some soils are deficient in salt,
and that stock require it in large guam
titles to equalize the system. If so, they
will eat less; they are the best judges.
The effect of salt is to increase the de-
sire for both food and drink. Hence
the materials for milk. More salt is con-
sumed by my stock when fed on clean
grass patch, where they can mix salt
and grass, than il in shed. A strong
solution of salt in water, irregularly ap
piled on hay for either cattle or horses,
produces securing.

BARLEY WATER PRErERABLE TO MILK

BARLEY WATER PREFERABLE TO MILK.
"A paper entitled observations on
the Digestibility of Milk" read short
time since in London by Dr. Carter, has
attracted considerable attention. In
this paper, DIR. Carter, as reported, dis
cussed various methods which had been
generally used with aview of promoting
the digestibility of milk, pointing out
that their efficiency was essentially due
TO the dilution of the caseine, thus
causing the precipitation, on its intro
duction into the stomach, in granular
form, of what would otherwise be firm.
bulky, and compact. He further showed,
by experiment, that simple dilution
with water is insufficient for this pur-
pose, and that the object is far better
attained by admixture of alkaline or
starchy waters with the milk. DIR.
Carter summed up by giving decided
practical preference to barley water,
and this conclusion he illustrated and
supported by various experiments and
by reference TO cases within his pro-
fessioual knowledge.

AntiQuity of Iron.-AccordiDg to the
Iron Age, wedge OF plate of iron has
been found imbedded iu the great Pyr-
amid, the indications being that it
must have been wrought in the age of
Cheops, placed by some authorities so
far back as 5,400 years ago. This
makes the use of iron about $500 years
more ancient than it is supposed to be,
the cutting of The sharp and well-defin-
ed hierOglyphics on pOrphyri, granite
and other hard stones employed in the
construction of Egyptian pyramids,
temples, and tombs. How these could
have been cut before the age of iron
has been a puzzling question to many.
Further investigation may show iron
to have been in use 5000 years ago.
