and 25 encampmeuts of Odd Fellows in this
state, with membership in the lodges of 1868,

order in this city is mpssed OF five subordi-
nate lodges, a Rabekah Degree lodge, four sub.
ordinate encampments, besides two relief asso-
Citations, formed for the purpose of granting re-
lief to families of deceased members. During
the past six years the growth Of the order in
this city has baen remarkable, as we'll as
throughout the state. The most remarkable in
the lodges is that of Unity Lodge No. 3, of this
city, which was instituted February g., 1877, and
on the first of January, 1873, returned mem
bership of 233, and an invested fund of $8273.

In Wall Streets Tide.

In 1862 Mr.. H. j. Fowler, young
man of considerable pluck, enterprise,
and business ability, entered Wall
Street as Spectator in a small way.
In those days money was made and lost
rapidly, and fortunes changed hands
with every tide. Mr.. Fowler was mod
est. He was willing to creep before ne
essayed to walk, and thus his ventures
were cautious, safe, and moderately
profitable. After time he accumulat-
ed money enough to buy seat in the
Open Board of Brokers, and from that
time he entered more extensively into
speculations.
In the Centennial year there was a
great drop in the coal stocks, especially
New Jersey Central, and Mr.. Fowler,
who always had a tendency to the bear
side, made a fortune. Less than year
ago, his acquaintance say, he had more
than 100000, part of which he made in
the drop in Northwest which involved
Harvey Kennedy in April, 1877. But
from that time he has been going down
hill. He got on the wrong side OF the
market in the recent rise in Lake Shore,
the Granger stocks, and the coal roads,
and yesterday the amount remaining to
him out of his 100000 was exactly
1857.
"Never mind" one of his friends
said, ssFowler has the grit to go in again
and win, and he'll do it. The only fault
he had was that he could not change
sides, and that's a good mans fault

r,,a COlic-PrOOf Cucumber.

Edison has given to the world several
.,usble inventions, but he will do well
make the most of his fame, because
.Ssre is a man in Hackensack, N. j.,
Aho will doubtless soon outshine him as
W." hsuefactor of his race. This philan-
,srOpist long ago decided that mankind
No, "eeded nothing so much as a collie
nroof cucumber. He had for years ap-
pp,sciated the delicate taste of thatwatery
r..getable, and had the fullest realiza-
,;o S of its cooling effect when. served,
scidulated and iced, with the morning
meal, But his pleasure was always de-
stroved by a knowledge that the feast
would be followed by that abdominal
,orture which the cucumber is so well
fitted to produce. He therefore concen-
rated his mental powers on the pro-
auction of q cucumber which would sat-
i,fy the palate without offending any of
the organs with which it might after
ward come in contact. His plan was to
snply to the ungrown vegetable the
remedies which are found effective in
sllaying the pain which it causes to hui
man beings. He therefore chose some
perfect seeds and wrapped each seed in
a small piece Of warm flannel soaked
with camphor. In the soil where the
seeds were deposited he put layer of
ground mustard and sprinkling of
cayenne pepper. As soon as the plants
appeared above the ground he sprinkled
them daily with laudanum and brandy,
and in order that both schools of medi-
cine might share in the glory of his
scheme, he suspended over each hill a
bottle containing nux vomica and arnica
in pellets. By this means he proposes
to cure the cucumbers Of the collie which
they contain instead of waiting to apply
the remedies to suffering man after the
vegetable has done its work. 1t is too
early for Hackensack cucumbers yet,
but when the new species are ready for
market and is proved a success there
can be no doubt of the demand for them,

The Wasp's Nest.

Reamur states that for 20 years he en-
deavored, without success, to discover
the materials employed by wasps in
forming the blue-gray papery substance,
50 much used in the structure of their
nests. One day, however, he saw a fe-
male wasp alight on a sash of window,
and it struck him while watching her
gnawing away the wood with her man.
dibles that it was from such materials
she formed the substance which so long
puzzled him. He saw her detach from
the wood bundle of fibers, about the
tenth of an Inch in length, and finer
than a hair; and as she did not swallow
them, but gathered them into a mass
with her feet, he had no doubt but that
his opinion was correct. In a short
time he saw her shift to another part of
the window, and carry with her the
fbers which she had collected, and to
which she continued to add. He then
caught her, and began to examine her
bundle, and found it was neither yet
moistened nor rolled into ball, as it is
always done before being used by the
wasp in her building. He also noticed
that before detaching the fibers she
bruised them into a kind of lint with
her mandibles. All this he initiated
with his pen-knife, bruising and pairing
the same wood till it resembled the
fbers collected by the wasp; and SO he
discovered how wasps manufactured
their paper; for these fibers are knead-
ed together in kind of paste, and
when the wasp has formed a ball OF
them, she spreads it out into a leaf,
nearly as thin as tissue-paper, and this
she accomplishes by moving backward.
and leveling it with her mandibles, her
tongue and her teeth. And so the wasp
forms paper, placing layer upon layer,
10 or 16 sheets deep, and thus prevent
ing the earth from falling down into her
nest.

The Glass Eye Manufacture.

If Americans excel in the manufacture
of false teeth, the French excel them in
false eyes, writes Paris correspondent.
The average sale of manufactured eyes,
in Paris alone, intended for the human
head, amounts to four hundred per week.
The French capital appears to have the
monopoly of this strange trade. Twelve
eye manufacturers flourish within the
barriers, each of whom furnish employ
ment to about twenty workmen. Eng
lsh and American enamelers have vain
ly tried to compete with the French ocu-
list artists. "Do you see, sir" replied
one of the latter, Englishmen have not
sufficient taste for this trade their eyes
are only good enough for stuffed ami
mals." This oculist, who is at the head
of his profession, receives his customers
in a magnificent saloon, resplendent
with gliding and mirrors. His servant
has but one eye, and if you would Judge
of the effect of the goods, the master
rings the bell and tries the false eye in
the socket of the servant. The charges
are between eight and nine dollars pc,
eye, purchased at this well-known es
tablishment. For the poor, there are
secondhand visual organs which may
have been worn by some duke OF
duchess, and exchanged for new ont
after several months service.

The Albatr0sS.

Somebody who has been studying the
habits of the albatross, largest of the
sea-birds, in the South Atlantic, has
come to the conclusion that it feeds al
most entirely on dead fish, and is sort
of marine vulture. When it is feeding
on dead fish, it is 30 greedy that gun
discharged cannot make it fly. Like
vulture or raven, it seems to know when
any creature is dying or dead, and i'm
mense hocks of the birds will gather
when the carcass of sheep or beef or
horse is thrown overheard. They ap-
pear to be able to see and to scent car
rion for miles. and when it is floating on
the ocean, they will come in clouds from
every point of the compass. They spend
the greater part of the year far away
from land; but they go to barren and
we'll nigh inaccessible rocks to breed.
The female lays her soiled white egg on
the bare earth, the females often hatch
ing SO close together that they seem to
have one nest in common. Then they
are perfectly Indifferent to the presence
of man, at whom they merely snap when
he invades their sanctuary. The male
albatross is very gallant, sharing with
the female the labor of incubation and
of rearing the young, which, when fully
fedged, puts off to sea with its parents,
and with them plays its part of scaven,
ger of the ocean. Many sailors are still
superstitious about killing the albatross

Identity Of Black and Green Tea.

Green and black tea are produced from
the same plant, although the colonists
were long at issue about the matter.
The idea of green tea being dried upon
copper is proved to be popular fallacy,
for the tea would be favored and spoil
ed in the process beside, the bloom can
be given by harmless means. MIR.
Ball, an Englishman, who has written a
practical volume on the cultivation and
manufacture of tea, describes an expert
ment made by him, proving that tea
may be dried black and green in the
same vessel and over the same fire. He
divided the pan, and the leaves on one
side he kept in motion and the other
quiet, when the latter became black and
the former green, thus proving the diff
ference of color to be derived not from
any management of heat, but from
manipulation, the heat being the same
in both cases. At the same time, GER
tain Chinese rogues glaze our hyson
most unscrupulously, and it has been
proved by chemical analysis that the
Chinese green teas are artificially color
ed, though not with indigo. Gunpowder
tea is dried at the highest temperature
and Pekoe at the lowest, and the chemi-
cal cause of black tea is its loss OF tam
min in drying previous to roasting, an
opinion that is supported by the testi.
mony of Liebig. Again, Mr.. Ball
thinks there may be one species. OF tea
plant, but several varieties, and that all
botanical difference is destroyed in the
course Of packing.
