their briar-root pipes, which, with their
tobacco, their alcohol, and their coffee,
are sent them each year by the Danes.
Their costume is made almost entire
ly of sealskin. II consists, in the case
of the men, of shirt Oanish), above
which is placed q wooden vest. The
pantaloons are of hairy sealskin; the
boots, under the pantaloons, of sealskin
leather. Gloves of fur, armed, when
necessary, with bears claws, blue
ectacles--against the wind and the
reflection from the snow-complete the
accoutrement. The costume of the
women is not wanting in elegance. The
hair is raised u la CbinOiSe on the top
of the head, and bound in a sort of
vertical chignon, tied by colored
knot. A well-ftting blouse of Euro
pean material, trimmed with fur, is
provided with hood, in which the
mother carries, when necessary, her
latest born, as the opossum does her
young. The woman wears very tight
breoches of sealsl<in and high boots
reaching above the knees; red, en-
broidered with yellow, after marriage;
white, embroidered with green, among
unmarried girls.
Their arms consist of bows with
which they shoot arrows pointed with
bone or iron, and similarly made har-
poons, which they throw from the
hand. When the 'harpoon is to be
thrown into the water it is attached to
q cord provided at the other end with
an inflated seal-bladder which acts az
a buoy and prevents the loss of the
wounded animal, which would run
away into deep water with the har-
poon. Their other apparatus are iron
tish-hooks, wooden bats representing
fish, colored, and very well initiated.
To these we may add cases of skin
which they put on the paws of the
dogs when the cold is very intense;
leathern muzzles to put over the snouts
of the dogs, smoothing-irons of stone,
knives identical with those which iron
tanners use to dress skins, and intended
for the same purpose. This will give
an idea of all that the Greenlanders
have to help them to struggle against
the inclemency of their native climate.
Before concluding what relates to the
surroundings, one word about the
alimentation. The word Esquimaux
is not the name which they give to
themselves. They call themselves In
mutt (the men); so true is it that under
all climates human vanity prevails The
word Esquimaux (eater of raw tish) is
a malevolent nickname given them by
their American neighbors. 1t is not,
however, so well merited now as it was
last century, at the time when Cran2
observed them. They continue, never
theless, to eat raw the lard sent them
from Denmark, and also the lines OF
the seal. The rest is eaten cooked

A Negro Funeral in Georgia,

| dropped into church for few
moments to listen to funeral discourse
of colored preacher. He was telling the
story of the five foolish virgins. " Now,
my brethren,h said he, in tones one
would think would wake the dead, dis
good brudder lyin' yere wasn't no fool

and good oil, too. He amt crying

and moaned and cried aloud. l fol
lowed this funeral procession to the
grave under the pines-the moaning
pines, the music of which is so much
like that of our Newport beach-and
stood the only white person among
them, and watched them lower the cof-
fin into its reshng-place. This they
did with the rope rein which they un,
hitched from the horse in the wagon
which served as hearse. Never shall
| forget that scene-all those black
faces turned toward the setting sun, The
weird music of their funeral chant, the
means and strange cries of the whole
assembly as the red clay was thrown il
upon the colored brudder' whose
lamp burned brightly. "Don'tyer cry
no mo-, but sing Home Sweet Home
Ga negro hymn as sweetly as de de

Nutritious Value of Grasses.

There is still hope for the Agricult-
ural Department, if, as is announced,
that literally seedy department is about
to place in competent hands the work
of making an accurate analysis of the
grasses of the United States. There
are about 200 varieties, but we are
not informed that even those most COM
monty in use have ever been subject to
the crucial test of chemical analysis
which will show how much each varie-
ty has of sugar, albumen, starch and
ash. But they are of very different
values as food for animals. The cattle
make their own analysis when they
have opportunity. Turned into the
rich grasses of Kansas and the country
south of that State, horse may find
twenty varieties within the length of
his picket line, but he is sure to select
some one, often heavily seeded red-top
as his favorite food. Farmers at the
north and in all grazing regions follow
the judgment and taste of their animals
in the selection of the fodder they raise,
but all know that there is great but
uncertain difference as to the fattening
or milk-producing qualities OF special
grasses. The only good analysis made
of grasses and roots have been made in
France and Germany and repeated on
a small scale in England. Prof. Bous-
singault, of Lyons, published his latest
work on this topic so lately as 186l-64.
1t was a careful statement of the value
of manures and of the properties and
uses of different kinds of roots, grasses
and grains in the feeding and fattening
of cattle. Nothing equal to it has yet
been attempted, and it would be great
ly to the credit of this country and the
advantages of its agriculture I'D ,,o5o "a /"

Doing up Mems Linen.

Some time ago my husband used to
complain that his collars did not set
nicely in front. There was always a
fullness which, in the case of standing
collars, was particularly trying to a
man who felt good deal of pride in
the dressing of his neck, as it spoiled
the effect of his eravat, and often left
a gap for the display OF either the
collar band of the shirt or half an inch
of bare skin. While talking with a
practical shirt-maker one day he men,
toned his annoyance, and inquired II
there was any way OF relieving 1t.
"Yes," answered the man, the fault is
with your laundress. While doing up
your collars she stretches them the
wrong way. Damp linen is very
pliable, and good pull will alter a
fourteen-inch into a tifteen-inch collar
in the twinkling of an eye. She ought
to stretch them crosswise and not
lengthwise. Then, too, in straighten-
ing out your shirt bosom she makes
another mistake of the same sort.
They, also, ought to be pulled cross
wise instead of lengthwise, particular
ly in the neighborhood of the neck.
A lengthwise pull draws the front OF
the neck band somewhat directly under
your chin, where il was never meant
to 90, and of course that spoils the set
of Your collar. With the front of your
neck band an inch too high, and your
collar an inch too long, you have q
most undesirable combination"

Home across the distant ridges of the years.

And the old house, standing still on the old
ground,
In the parlor, in my fancy, could trace
Fathers face;
And my mother, with her old accustomed air,
Sitting there;
While beside them brothers, sisters, true and

Silent stood.
Through the stiffness swan the song of summer

And there stirred
On the wall the leaf-hecked sunshine; and its
Faded slow;
But from all the loving lips ! watched around
Not n sound.

And trod with softened step along the floor;
Opened doors
But | never heard q voice or met soul
In the whole.
Of the breaths that stirred the draperies to and

OF the eyes that through the easement used to
Out of sleeps
Of the feet that in these chambers used to run
Now are none.
OF the sunshine pouring downward from the sky,
Blue and high;
OF the LEAKAGE and the ancient garden plot,

The Black Jews in India.

The majority are natives of the Nal
abar coast, where, especially in the city
of Kotschim, they reside in cOnsidera-
BILE numbers. 1t is said that they are
the descendants of the Jews who were
sent to India by Solomon to capture
elephants for his use and to work in the
gold mines; and that their skins, in the
course of 5000 years, have entirely
changed color, so as to make it al
most impossible to distinguish them
from the rest of the natives.
They know little Hebrew, that
language having almost died out
among them. Their mother tongue is
the sO-called Hindi, which is used in
their Scriptures and prayer-books.
They also possess a Bible, which is not
printed, but written. Of the holidays
they only keep the Sabbath and the
Passover, the Day of Atonement being
entirely unknown to them. In the
preparation of their food they differ
from other Jews, as, during their 5000
years separation from the rest of theil
coreligionists, nearly all their origina
customs and manners have died out
They live separately to this day, from
the white Jews, as the latter do not re
gard them as actual descendants of thu
Jewish race. AS answer to this thC
colored Jews boast of their letters o
freedom given by an ancient King o
India, and another one of King Tschan
drackupta, who lived in the time of Al
exander the Great. They do not cal
themselves Jews but "Sons of Is
rael;" and they maintain that they ar,
in possession of a number of autograph
prayer-books written by the Patriarchs
ignorant, earning their living by work
ing in the field and by day labor.-JeD

A Bashful Young Man.

THIS morning a strong, healthy-look-
ing young man entered the county
clerks office and gazed respectfully
around Harry Thompson, the chief
deputy, stepped up and blandly inquired
of the stranger if he wished any busi-
ness transacted.
The young man when spoken to
started back as though dreading an as
sault, but he soon recovered himself and
said in a whisper:
" Yes, sir-l called to see-I wanted
to have little talk-how much is it,
anyhow
He had a soft cloth hat in his hand,
and kept turning and twisting it about
as he spoke; his face had grown terri
bly, red, and big drops of perspiration
were standing on his brow.
"What is it you wantP'' asked the
clerk.
The man looked at him pleadingly,
but struggled in vain for utterance.

his forehead swelled till they looked
| like great knotted cords. He twisted
his hat convulsively, and then straight
ened it out again, and then he pulled
the new lining out of it, and dropped it
on the floor. Then he picked it up all
dusty from the floor and wiped his
steaming face, leaving dirty streak
after each wipe. Finally, it seemed as
though the poor young man had quite
recovered himself, for he looked cheer
fully around the room, and then turn
| ing to Mr. Thompson, remarked in a
pleasant and confidential tone:
"Well, it is real warm for this Sec

Another fiery blush that looked as il
it would scorch the collar off his neck

held up bravely. He leaned on the desk
in an easy careless sort of way, and be.
gan to toy with a mucilage brush.
"The fact of the matter is that

Here he paused again and medita
lively jammed the mucilage brush into
the ink-stand.
"What are you doing with thai

patiently.
"Oh, by George-excuse mer' STAN
mered the man as he withdrew the
brush, spattering the ink all over the
clerks shirt bosom, and, as if it haC
been molasses dripping from his fingers
thrust the brush into his mouth, daub
ing himself with ink and mucilage, anC
then bolted from the office.
"Thats about the worst case | have
seen," remarked Mr.. Thompson, as HI
wiped a big ink spot from the starboarC
side of his Roman nose.

Orndorf, who had been an interested

Lord Byron's Daughter,

Byron's only child married the Earl
of Lovelace, descendant of Lord Chan
cellor King, John Locke's favorite
nephew, and had two sons and one
daughter Lady Loyelace had every
right to be peculiar, and was so. Her
eldest son, too, was perfectly and most
inconVeniently eccentric. While at
Eaton College he stopped a carriage,
presented pistol, and robbed some
ladies, and committed divers other
strange deeds; anu, at longtn, having
utterly exhausted the patience of his
family, became workman in Scott
Russel's ship-building yard on the
Thames, where, at the time of his
death, he was on the eve of marriage
to carpenters daughter. He had
some good points about him, notwith-
standing his strangeness, and might
perhaps ultimately have developed
into useful man; but this was not to
be. He was succeeded by his brother
who inherited, at his maternal grand
mothers death, her Barony of Went
worth, with a seat in the House ol
Lords. A few years ago Lord Went
worth, who, in current phrase, "doesn'
amount to much,n married the daugh
ter of Rev. George Heriot. His wifi
was for a season or two the reignipi
beauty of the day. But the marriag
did not prove happy, and about tw
years ago she died. Lord wentworth
died lately, aged twenty-four, leaving
an only daughter.

What Some New York Things Have Cost.

The newSpostoflice, designed by Null
lett and built of Dix Island granite, cost
about 100000 The Brooklyn bridge
cost little over 100000 up to date.
When completed, the total bill will be
about $14, ,000,0 900, according to present
estimates. The city hall with its mar
BILE front and brown-stone back, cost
half million at the beginning of the
century, when labor was cheap and job
berry rare. Vanderbilt's Grand Central
Depot cost two and quarter millions,
but the approach to the depot, through
the Fourth avenue viaduct and tunnels,
cost six or seven millions, half paid by
the Vanderbilts and half by the city.
The Tribune tall tower is nine stories
high, and cost about 5000, ,000.
The Croton water works have
cost between $25, 100000 and $50, 0,000,-
