CONDITION OF THE LOWER CLASSES ~ Esq.
LASD.-Mr. l.. J. Jennings in letter in Mon.
days New York World, presents ptiful
picture Of the condition Of the lower classes
in England. Blunty denying the claim OF the
English journals that the condition of the
country is not really bad and that there has
only been an impairment of values, he pro.
eeeds to say that he does not believe that any
one in England realizes how great is the in.
jury which the manufacturing districts have
sustained during the last five years. Mr..
Jennings says he had occasion lately to walk
ten or fifteen miles along the turnpike between
Manchester and Sheffield, land was aston.
ished at the number of tramps ] met. and
still much more astonished that very few of
them begged" The people are iramping
from one point to another in the hope that
work may be found, but the further they 90
the darker the prospect becomes. Mr.. Jen-
ninga says i: People as rule do not under.
stand figures, and will not even look into
them, and therefore they accept blindly all
that experts choose TO tell them. A few
inquiries in Manchester or Sheffield would be
quite sufficient to open the eyes Of any man to
the truth No doubt the change has been
largely brought about by American eompeti.

OF honesty Of the manufacturers themselves.

a remarkable wolf story is that told
by Mr.. Christ. PAIL, of Buffalo town.
ship, Iowa. He brought VOLTS skull
into the county auditors office, and
said he had prepared it for the zoolOg-
zeal cabinet at .he academy. He stated
that the wolf was captured when cub,
had been raised at his house with a
dog and cat, and that these three were
as friendly as could be. In fact, the
wolf seemed as tame as though he be-
lOnged to Il tribe of domestic animals
exceptln one particular. He would de-
YOUR chickens, and no amount of pun
ishment that would leave him alive
could cure him of his love of live poul-
try Mr.. PAIL had : on ten years OF
age, between whom and the wolf there
was almost constant Intimacy and
warm friendship. They would wan
der all about the farm together and
frolic every day; but love for the boy
mad no effect on the VOLTS taste for
fowls. When the beasts food was
brought to him he would scatter il
about him, and then lie down with his
face resting on his fore-paws feigning
sleep. \ company of hens would sur
round him to eat his food; and woe to
the biddy that came within reach of
his paw. She was devoured in a thrice.
There was no help for it. The wolf
must be killed, or poultry-raising must
end on the farm. So Mr.. Pahl fired a
charge of lage shot at the wolf. but
did no more than wound him in the
thick hide of his neck, and he put off
for the woods. The farmer and his
men followed him tive miles before
getting another pop at him; then he
was shot in a hind leg. He crawled
into thicket, and the hunters think
ing he was done for, went home. The
very next morning the wolf came TO
the kitchen door of the farm-bouse
when the family were at breakfast and
scratched for admission. The boy de-
lighted ran out, and boy and wolf had
the happiest kind of a time all dav-
Mr.. PAIL resolved to spare the wolf for
his boys sake; but the very rext
morning the wolf was at his old tran
for the chickens, and devoured two
roosters, and he was killed instanter
He had grown TO nearly the size of
Newfoundland y dog.

Oh and Soap From the Eucalyptus.

The eucalyptus tree, i'll addition to
being a destroyer of the germs of fever
and other infectious diseases, has been
found to yield a volatile oil through
the distillation of its foliage. This oil
is a valuable solvent, and may be used
camphOr, pine resins, mastic, elemi,
sandarach, kauri, dammar, asphalt,
xanthoI rhea resin,- dragons blood,
benzol, copal, amber, anime, shellac,
caoutchuc, and wax, but not gutta
percha. The above named gums, resins,
and gum resins arr auged in the order of
their solubility, the list being headed
by csmphOr and pIne-resins as the most
soluble, and concluded with caoutchoue
and wax as the least, shows that these
volatile oils have considerable resem-
blance to turpentine, and ii is probable
that they may substitute or even super
sede this important volatile oil. The
quantity obtainable from the Eucdlyptus
dmygddlina (3l3 per cent? Is so large
that if the trees were grown for their
timber, or for sanitary purposes, or for
both combined; and if. in addition to
these uses, an annual crop of such oil is

ton ard laboratory figures. In these
eases the difference is very small. The
future of this new branch of industry
depends upon the possibility of accli-
matizing these Australian trees in 9TH

DOMESTIC.

The Observation-Disclosures is a green
ness in onions and potatoes thas rem
Gers them hard to digest For health's
sake put them in warm water for an
hour before cooking.
The only kind of stove with which
you can preserve uniform heat is a
pot for an hour, or boil it at the same
Fate for twenty minutes,
Good flour is not tested by its color.
White flour may not be the best. The
test of good flour is by the amount OF

In cooking a fowl, TO ascertain when
il is done, put skewer into its breast
and if the breast is tender the fowl is
done.
A few dried or preserved cherries
with stones out, are the very best
things possible to garnish sweet dishes.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly
put in pinch of salt. The cooler the
eggs the quicker they will roth. Salt
cOOls and freshens them.
In boiling eggs hard, put them in
boiling water ten minutes and then put
them in cold water. 1t will prevent
the yolk from coloring black.
To make maecaroni tender, put 1t in
cold water and bring it to boil. IL
will then be much more tender than If
put in hot water or stewed in milk.
The yolk OF eggs binds the crust
much better than the whites. Apply
it to the edges with brush.
Old potatoes may be freshened up by
plunging them into cold water before
cooking.
Never put a pudding which is to be
steamed into anything else than dry
mould.
Never wash raisins that are to be used

ding, put the sugar in a perfectly dry
sauce pan. If the pan is the least bit
wet. the sugar will burn and you will

Surrounded by Snakes.

Three young spOrtsmen named Uideon
Henscb. William Croft and Henry Dick
ison passed through Milford, Pa, re-
Gently for New York, where they re-
s:de. Mr.. Hensch related the follow
ing story: "We are all of us clerks IN
insurance offices in New York, and we
concluded to spend our vacation this
wear i'm the wilds of Pike county, where
we expected to find game of all kinds
in abundance. We brought wish us
large "a tent, camping utensils OF all
kinds and some 'tangle-fOOt.' Upon
arriving at Lackawaxen we were told
that the best shooting i'll the county
WAS near Little York Woods in
Blooming Grove township; so we hired
a team and went thither. We finally
found what seemed like good camp
ing place-six miles from any house
and we pitched our tent, sent our dri-
yer back to Lackawaxen and prepared
ourselves to enjoy the luxury of camp
ing OUT Night soon came on, and to
keep away wild animals we built fire
/ lust outside the door of our tent, About
ten o'clock fell asleep and shortly af-
ter was awakened by a peculiar whir-
ring noise. / found that Croft and
Dickson were both asleep. and as the
noise still continued ! seized my gun
and pulled aside the tent door-fiap. The
sight that met my eyes fairly paralyzed
me. The fire which still burned bright
" was surrounded by rattlesnakes in
every conceivable position. | quickly
aroused Croft and Dickson and, armed
with our stout ash Alpine-stOcks, we
stepped outside and began to slaughter
the reptiles. We had already killed
SIX, and as was striking at the seventh
who was an unusually large one, he
| sprang at me and bit me in the fleshy
part of the hand, near the wrist.
Immediately threw down my stick and
ran into the tent. Then | took razor
and cut an incisiOn in the flesh directly
across the wound, applied my lips to
the cut and sucked from il the blood
and poison. | then bathed the wound
with brandy and drank large quantity
of whisky. Croft and Dickson bad in
the meanwhile dispatched the remain
der of the reptiles. In the morning
we measured the snakes killed, and
their aggregate length was siXty-One
feet, three aud half inches. There
were thirtsen killed. During the fol-
lowing day kept taking liquor in quite
from the bite. But" said Mr.. Hensch,
barring his wrist and pointing to the
wound, '.we moved our tent further on,
and all the wealth of Uolconda wouldn't
tempt me tospend a night in that local
