Il Boat-ride through Big-Horn Canyon.

Two adventurous miners recently took a
ride through the Big Horn Canyon, in the
Yellowstone region, never before traversed
by-man. Had they been able graphically
to describe their adventure they would
have. told tale seldom equalled in thrilling
incidents, Wishing to save 200 miles travel
around the mountains they concluded to try
the canyon. With some tools they had in
their mining camp they built frail craft at
the bottom Of the canyon, having previously
taken down theirsmaterial or red cedar.
The boat was II feet long, feet wide, and
upon trial was found to carry its cargo of
freight and passengers admirably. So on
the morning of the 23d of July, they united
il and pushed into the current. The rush
of the river, which before starting was al
most deafening, was terrible as the boat
started on its journey through this unknown
gorge. To go back was impossible; to
climb the solid limestone walls which rose
500 feet above their heads, where a narrow
streak of light lighted up their course, was
not to be entertained as means Of escape;
through they must go, trusting to their
ability to avoid rocks, and to the strength
of their craft to run the rapids, which they
met at every bend of the canyon. The loud
est halloo was heard as whisper. Grottoes,
caves, unknown rec. sses of nature were
passed by these hardy navigators. In places
ilocks of mountain sheep, startled by the
appearance of the Curiosity rushing by be-
low them, would run along ledge of
rocks, jump from crag to crag, where foot
ing for man would be impossible, and dis
appear. Evening coming on, they attempt
ed to tie up for the. night. They worked
the boat close to shore, jumped out, and
away went the craft, carrying the guns and
provisions. With starvation behind them,
and hardly foothold before them, their
chances for keeping on were doubtful, when
they luckily found two logs, which they
lashed together with their belts, and again
trusting to the river and still more danger
Gus rock, they set out to search for their
boat, which they found two miles below,
where it had stopped in an eddy. On the
afternoon of the third day, while wondering
how much longer the Big Horn Canyon
could possibly be, they suddenly shot out
into the beautiful Big Horn Valley, with
Fort G. f. Smith on their right.

Paving q Dublin Cabby.

In Dublin the legal charge for short
ride in public carriage is an English six
pence, but cabby expects you to give him
very much more, and he always gets some
thing in addition to the actual fare. If you
ask him what his price is, he invariably
''aves it to your honor" but when you
have paid him, no matter how many times
the lawful amount, he is never satisfied.
Two American gentlemen in Dublin, a
week or so ago, made a bet, one holding
that he would give ''ca5by" such a fee
that he would ask no more. This his friend
declared was not possible. They took a
cab, the first they met, and rode a distance
of about two miles.
''How much do / owe you 2" inquired
the gentleman at the end of the journey.
''Sure an your honor can give me what
ever you like, P" said the driver.
'But would rather you would name
your charges r,~..- a t~,s-rss
/; tGndeed an wont. It's not for me. to
say what fine gentleman like you will
give me-" y... ..s ......-
Thus put to the test the "fne gentleman
handed him over half sovereign in gold
for ride That should have cost siXpencc at
most. --..... t. .e
Cabby looked at the coin, then at the
gentleman, as if doubling the evidence of
his senses at this unexpected munificence,
but soon recovering from his surprise, he
put his hand to his hat in respectful ac-
acknowledgement of his gratitude.
''YOu have lost your bet, whispered
the friend as they turned to leave. But
before he and his companion had walked
half dozen steps, the driver, leaving his
horse and vehicle to take care of themselves,
was by their side, hat in hand.
''Well, what do you want now; haven't
you got your fare 2" fs
$50 have, /" said the driver, with an in
sinuating smile, San it's yourself is the gin
tleman that gave me fine one this blessed
day but, your honor, haven't you a spare
sixpence in your pocket; don't like to

Alfonso's hummer Palace.

La Granja is royal summer residence of
the Spanish family up in the Guadarrama
Mountains, $500 feet above the level of the
sea, ], 40 feet above the altitude Of Madrid,
and higher by 30 feet than the top of Vesu-
vius, 1t was bought from the monks of El
Parral of -Segoyia, who owned the lands for
scores of miles around and had here their
Grange, by Philip ", the Bourbon Prince
who undertook to perpetHate the Hapsburg
dynasty in Spain as heir of his grandmother,
Maris Theresa, wife of the ..'Grand Monar-
que," and by the will and testament of
Charles H., the last male of the Austrian
line. Philip V. built here q palace and
laid out gardens in imitation of Versailles,
employing his time from 1719 to 1746 with
such disregard of the cost that the gardens
alone caused an outlay of forty five millions
of piastres ($45, 600, ,000). In return for
this enormous expense the King had, as he
was heard to say, s'his quarter of an hours
amusement" and the satisfaction of boast
ing royal habitation higher up in the air
and nearer heaven than any other sovereign
in Europe. The attraction for those who
are not of royal blood and who own neither
Aouse nor land IN this place was in fact that
while in Madrid the heat is at 83 degrees
in the shade, it only attains 68 degrees at
La Granja.

The King ana the Actor.

4.
AT ew days ago the King of Denmark
was being driven along the road by the
seaside leading from the capital to the
Palace of Bernstorff, when suddenly
the royal equipage. came into violent
collision with vehicle which was be-
ing incautiously driven by a we'll
known young actor. The King, hap
PLY, was unhurt; but his carriage re-
celved such serious damage that his
Majesty alighted in order to finish his
journey on foot. When the rising
young votary of Thespis discovered
that he had actually endangered the
life of his sovereign by the clumsy
way in which he he had acted the part
of a coachman, he became so confused
that he was unable to give utterance to
his feelings. Nor was his perplexity
much relieved when the King, before
pursuing his journey turned round and
addressed him to the following effect !:
"My dear Mr.. A., L would really
suggest to you the proprlety of study
ing your part as coachman little bet
ter next time. If you had not prepared
yourself more carefully for preYious
performances in which have seen you,
/ am afraid | should never have had
the pleasure of witnessing your per-
formances at all; and if you continue
to appear in the role you have now
taken up with no better success than
has attended you to-day, fear that
may happen which will effectually
deprive me Of the pleasure of seeing
you again!'N ~ El..l

Glass Painters Studio.

In the glass painters workshops may be
seen devices, at a cost within the reach of
the majority, which would brighten and
illuminate habitations large or small. Here
are medallion windows filled with medal
lions, or panels, containing colored pictures
arranged in a systematcal manner, and
imbedded in a mosaic ornamental ground
formed of rich colors, highly suggestive and
agreeable in sitting room, whatever be its
principal uses. Here are pictures without
number, representing successive incidents
in a parable, story, or a legend, prose or
verse, some even bearing eifigies, having
lighter colors for the edgings of the various
paneling and outer border of the windows
Profuse in fancy are the groups of leaves,
the maple, oak, ivy, and the parasitical
plants, as we'll as the birds and insects, and
the scroll work formed of the twining ten
drills of plants, or boughs, or branches
Borders with stalks running up the sides of
the lights, either in serpentine manner or
straight, from which spring leaves, acorns,
nuts, fruit: the stalks may be of one color,
the leaves of another, and these introduced
on a c'lored ground. There is very be-
wildermeat, of course, Of heraldic emblems
and equipments, the shield, the helmet,
crown, coronet, crest, mantling, motto,
highly enriched with barbaric gems, At
hand are ranged coats of arms, or badges,
or merchants marks, initials of rich, ex-
travagant form, and monograms highly
decorated. Attractive enough will the
common decorated patterns be found,
consisting of a number of narrow fillets and
bands, some colored, some ornamented, but
for the most part plain and white, disposed
in the forms of circles, lozenges, ovals,
quatre-foils, and other geometrical figures,
or even simply reticulated and curiously
interviewer with each other. &

Making Soap,

In the first place, about six weeks be-
fOrehand, the hOusekeeper must begin
| by telling her husband that she wants
barrel fixed IN the back yard to run
of lye. OF course he won't pay much
attention at first. but will merely say,
eyes, yes, l'll fix it," and go off to his
work as usual. In a week or two she
becomes more emphatic; she tells him
that every crock and old pot and broken
dish about the house Is full of soap
grease, and that If he don't put up that
lye barrel the grease will certainly get
worms in it. Then he goes out and
looks around the yard and says he don't
see any barrel and no place to put one
If he did. In about another week she
tells him that if she was man she would
have had that lye barrel put up long
ago, but it makes no difference to her
now, as she means to throw the soap
grease away anyway; that there is no
use anyway in a wOman's trying to
save and economies; that 1t don't
amount to anything, as a man can
spend at the bung-hOle while his wife
saves at the spigOt; that she will never
be any better off for her economy, and
finally she caps the climax by telling
him she isn't going to slave for some
other woman to enjoy after she is dead
and gone, and then she begins to cry.
He goes of in a nuff, but i'm about an
hnInP hiGanunrc hn
fixed the lye barrel. Then she wants
the ashes put in it and there is not a
creature ia sight TO help. So she rather
sheeplshly carries them herself and
dumps them in, spelling her clothes,
getting dust in her hair :and making
herself generally unattr4ctive and mis-
cradle by the operation. When her
husband comes to dinner he looks ask
ance at her red eyes and disordered
dress, but never says soap. Then water
is poured on and the lye begins to run,
and then it is constant worry to keepl
the children away from it. "A week or
more of constant and uneasy watching
and she has enough first-classlye to fill
a big iron kettle. Then. one morning
she gets the hired man to fix a |
place outdoors for a fire, and gets the
kettle rugged on It and filled with lye. |
Then she gathers the disgusting grease |
together and scrapes it into the big pot. |
The smoke hurts her eyes, and her
children all have dangerous fascina-
ton for the spot. She dare not leave
it and them, and so she watches and
stirs it, occasionally with spoon and
saucer, and scolds the children off and |
gets fearfully overheated, and ina few
hours has great pot Of scalding soft |
soap that is 'Just splendid" If she is
so fortunate, by close watching, as to
keep the baby from tumbling into. it
she will finally get it poured into the
soft soap barrel, and congratulate her
self that after all her trials and tribula
tions, and cares and veXations. she has |
tully half dollars worth OF the best
kind Of soft SOAP. .t ~
