The Hinuoo Women.

Ihe Hindoo women when young arc
delicate and beautiful, 30 far as we can
reconcile beauty with the olive COM
plexion. They are finely proportion
cd; their limbs small, their features
soft and regular, and their eyes bright
and languishing, but the bloom of
beauty soon decays, and age makes
rapid progress before they have seen
thirty years. This may be accounted
for from the heat OF the climate and tho
customs Of the country, as they are
OFTEN mothers at twelve years Of age.
No women can be more attentive to
cleanliness than tho Hlndoos; they
take every method to render their per-
sons delicate, soft and attractive; their
dress Is peculiarly becoming, consist
Ing of long piece of silk, or cotton,
ticd round the waist, or hanging In
graceful manner to the feet; 1t Is after
ward brought over the body In negli-
gent folds; under this they cover the
bosom with short whtstcoat Of satin,
but wear no linen. Their long black
hair is adorned with jewels and
wreaths OF flowers, their cars are bored
In many places, and loaded with pearls,
a variety Of gold chains, strings of
pearls and precious stones, fall from
the neck over the bosom and tho arms
arc covered with bracelets from the
wrist to the elbow. They have also
gold and silver chains round tho
ankles, and an abundance of rings on
their fingers and toes; among those ON
the fingers Is frequently small mirror.
The richer tho dress the less becom-
Ing 1t appears, and IlndOo woman of
distinction always seems to be over
loaded with flnery, while the village
nymphs, with fewer ornaments, but In
tho same elegant drapery, are moro
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there are very
few women even Of the lowest fami-
lies, who have not some jewels at their
marriage. In these external decora-
tlons consist tho pride and pleasure of
these uninstructed females; for very
few, oven in the best families, know
how to read or write, or are capable of
intellectual enjoyment. We learn
from Homer that the women in ancient
Greece always kept in retired part OF
the house, employed in embroidery or
or other feminine occupations; and at
this day the Indian females are never
seen by those who visit tho master of
the family. They know but little Of
tho world, and are not permitted, TO, cat
with their husband or brother, nor to
associate with other mon.

Mustard and COfloo.

1t Is related that General Scott's
fano4s letter to ',Zacliary Taylor an
nouncing the withdrawal of most Of
the regular troops from Taylor's COM
mand to be placed under,his own in Il
projecting movement FROM Vera Cruz,
towards the capital Of Mexico was re-
ccived while General Taylor was at
supper with his staff near Monterey.
The General asked Colonel Bliss to
read 1t to him. lie had just rcplenish-
ed his coffee cup, and was engaged in
cooling 1t while tho reading went on.
This appeared to make no further i'm
preston upon him than that Indicated
by contcmptnous "sniif" but as tho
real import of the letter began to ap-
pear his whole manner changed, and
he abstractedly dipped the spoon into
bowl of mustard, which sat upon the
table, and stirred itin the coffee. This
he repeated until by the time tho read
ing Of the letter was finished, the con-
tents Of the mustard bowl were ex-
hausted. Without saying word and
to Bliss's astonishmenJ and horror, he

down the whole abominable compound.
lie then broke into an excited har-
rangue, consigning to everlasting per-
dltion every one concerned in the pro-
posed depletion of his forces and only
ccasing when his speech was ovcrtaken
with paroxysm of suffering, which,
with him, usually followed an outbreak
of temper. The Colonel felt sure THAT
from the amount, the mustard he had
swallowed, combined with the intcl]i-
gence he had received, It. would infAlli-
bly, sicken him, but nothing uucommon
came Of it. "Ratsbanc at that mo-
ment," said Bliss, "would, L am con-
Vinced, have had no more effect upon
him than upon the stomach Of Mlthrl-
dates" General Plcasanton who COM
mandod the Generals escort In Mexico,
says that when onco Thoroughly aroused
he was the maddcst man he ever saw
mad from the crown of his hat to the
soles of his boots"

LINES WRITTEN BY E..

There is no shadow, without light
There is no day, but brings night
Thoro Is no JOY. unmixed with pain
There is no sunshine, but aftor rain
Thore is no OWL, without somo good
No beauty, that Is understood,
Tho heaviest Crosses, to our sight.
Arc but given. to lead us to tho light
The darkest clouds, have golden edge.
And tho fairost gardens, thorny hedge
Somo fairest flowers, give poisonous breath
And some deadly poisons, save from Death
Each soul, may roach the lowest deops,
And oaoh soul. climb tho highest steeps
Each hoart. may know joys brightest glow
And oaoh. the anguish Of darkest woe
No battles are won, but some have fought
No work, is done, but some have wrought;
Cruel words, from tho lips are oarelessly tossed
But no kind word was ever lost.
No heart 80 true it cannot be tried;
And mono 30 false. but somo good will abide;
Tnefe is mono 30 strong thai he cannot fall,
And none 30 evil but may rise from it all.
No soul e'er dropped in tho depths Of woe;
But might have climbed to the hills Of snow,
The bost Of gold is mixed with alloy,
And the coarsest metals have some emp oy;
All things are maio for some good use
And nothing 80 good but may ave abuse
God gives us nothing but will do us good,
And our ourses seem kindness when under
stood.

and perfect tho manufacture of
paper. Paper now enters very largely
into the manufacture of many of the
most useful and necessary articles, and
new discoveries OF its utility arc daily
being made. The different grades and
qualities of paper number at least
twenty-five, and vary from the finest
writing, to the CoarScst roofing and
sheathing paper. or these numerous
grades newspaper stock is most largely
made, but writing and book papers
represent the largest capital, and arc
the most important branches of the
trade. Our fine papers now equal, if
they do not excel, the finest grades Of
paper produced in Eurpc, and they arc
being daily improved upon. or wood
pulp paper Ilso it is estimated that
about % 900 tons per year arc made
Within the past five years the paper
trade has suffered in the general de-
preston OF business. The prices have
beer. very low, and the demand small
compared with former years; but
within the past year the trade has re-
viv"d considerably, and though the
prices still rule low, the demand has
Increased, and more hopeful feeling
exists In the market. 1t is not probable
that there will be more than slight
advance, if any in prices, for at least n
few years to come T,but rs the con-
sumers are enlarging their orders,
mills which have been standing idle
have begun running again, and gen
cral revival of the trade Is predicted.
At the present prices there is Il fair
profit to tho manufacturers, and with
larger orders they can easily gain q
comfortable return for their capital
and labor. The United States Is far
more fortunate than any Of the Eu-
ropcan countries in this respect. There
is very marked depression abroad,
especially in England, where the paper
trade is at "a very low ebb, paper being
almost given away, while the demand
Is comparatively snail, with no pros
pect of any increase. The United
States Is importing less paper every
year; while the exports, now amounts
ing to about $l.70O, 900 per annunl, arc
steadily increasing.

Cyprus.

cyprus Is an island of sudden
changes. Both climate and landscape
are subject to rapid variations. From
the glare of an overpowertng sun one
may enter the cool shade Of a. tropical
garden, with the murmur Of water
trickling past as It wanders among the
groves of oranges, figs and palms. Tho
bare treeless plain may DO changed In a
very short space for pine forests OF
magnificent trees; instead Of sand and
dust, we tranple on bracken Tern bv
the side of rllls and torrents running in
steep gorges. The climate changes
from great heat to chilling cold. We
have noted daily variation Of so de-
grces Of temperature; after calm, clear
morning, with the distant hills appar-
entity close, suddenly windy hurri-
cane, accompanied by a. .hick haze,
comes over the island, and shuts out tho
view. In the landscape it ia tho same.
There are no gentle slopes; the hills
all rise stecply from the plains; the
water courses run In deep beds, cut
through alluvial soil and rock. These
signs show tho island to have been
visited by heavy tropical rains. After
the Winter Of 1877 the great Messarea
plain was lake Of water and slime.
This Winter there has been barely five
ihches OF rain fall-hardly enough to
make the roads muddy for a few hours.
There is no doubt that the resources OF
tho island are great, If properly de-
Veloped. 1t possesses very fertile
soil, capable of growing almost any
thing If carefully cultivated and irri-
gated; without water, the hot slrocco
winds from the east soon dry up any
vegetation. Irrigation, however, is
not difficult matter. On the plain,
water Is found almost everywhere at
from lS to 20 feet deep; and along the
htllsides there are many springs and
rivulets that run to waste through the
mertness Of the people. They would
willingly pay a handsome profit for the
water If 1t was brought to them, but
Aave not the capital or enterprise to
make the required aqucducts them
selves. a few windmill pumps on the
plain irrigate farm sufficiently to
make 1t independent of lack of rainfall,
and for the production of crops and
trees that require watering after the
rainy season Is past.

Fight With an Eagle.

Parts of Pennsylvania, in Wayne
county, arc yet as Wild rs they were
when the Indians Inhabited the region.
Some of the highest elevations in
Pennsylvania arc in this county.
These are rocky peaks abounding in
deep ravlncs and caverns. Tn this
wild territory there are seventeen
large lakes, some of them on the very
crests of the mountains, more than two
thousand feet above tho sea. These
lakes are full of fish, and are favorite
resorts Of enormous fish hlwks, Itch
find abundant food In the bass, pickerel
and perch that they catcll. There are
also many eagles, and they subsist by
robbing the hawks when they rise
laden with fish from tho lakes. The
inaccessible crags and ravines afford
them secure resting places, and here
eagles still rear their young. Speci-
mems measuring over seven feet from
tip to tip have been shot near the lakes.
Fishermen often see fierce battles be-
tween the hawk and the eagle, and
often both eagle and hawk are brought
down by the sportsman's rifle. At
times the eagles extend their foraging
expeditions to the farming country
south and north of the wilderness. In
the spring they annoy the farmers, for
they sweep down boldly upon the sheep
pastures and carry off lambs aud poul-
try. A farmer named UT, who lives
near one Of the lakes has two year
old game cock that was presented to
his wife, and she has taken a liking to
the fowl. Recently, while her. hus-
band was absent In Deposit, Mrs. Utt
heard commotion among the chickens
In the barnyard, and OH running out,
found her game rooster lighting with
what she supposed was a very large
hawk, which was trying to fasten its
talons In the chicken. The two birds
were 80 deeply engaged in the combat
that Mrs. Utt's shouts did not frighten
the enemy away. She picked up q
stick and ran into the barn-yaId and
struck the intruder. This did not ap.
parently alarm it Then she seized it
by the neck with both hands, and for
the first time she saw It was an eagle.
The powerful bird buried her claws
deep In Mrs. Utt's arm. She did not
dare let 90 her hold, although the
eagle was tearing her flesh drcadfully.
She tightened hor grasp upon his throat
and then threw herself heavilyNto the
ground upon it. In this way che
choked IL to death. The flesh on Mrs.
Utt's arm was worn to the bone In
some places. The eagle measured
nearly five teet from tip to tip.

Paper Making.

At the present time the United
States Is making more than one third of
all the paper made in the world. The
product is about 1880 tons daily,
amounting to about G40, 800 tons year.
There are now s27 mills, representing
a capital Of at least 500, 200, 900. These
mills employ $4,000 persons, who draw
about $0.G60.000 In salaries per year.
1t Is estimated that the entire paper
interest, including manufacturing,
printing and publishing, furnishes onl-
ployment TO 75, 900 persons. Now York
makes the most paper. Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Ohio rank next in
order named. The growth Of this in
dustry has been very rapid of late
years in the Western States. Tho in
PRODUCTION Of the. new Bullock presses
Of extra width into the press room of
the Sun and other large dallies has
opened now field of usefulness for the
newspaper interest, and many paper
makers are fastening to- increase and
enlarge their machinery in order to
compete for order. In 1856 the con-
sumption Of paper in the Uuited States
was equal to that Of England and
France together. The highest price
ever paid was In 1864, when newspa-
per stock was sold at 20 cents and
book at 46 cents per pound. This,
however was of short duration. These
facts 60 to illustrate the great advance
Of the paper trade during those years,
and since that time the growth has
been so rapid and has assumed such
enormous proportions that 1t now
ranks among the greatest industries of
the age. The use Of straw and wood
as ingredients has been largely instru-
mental In its growth and advance. Inn
provements in paper making machinery
