The Two Lost Children.

Recently Master John Henry. aged thir-
teen, and his sister Alice. aged nine, left their
mothers house near Turkey Run for the pur-
pose of picking berries. The children were
familiar with the mountain paths for miles
around their home, and consequently when they
did not return for dinner their mother was not
at all frightened. When the afternoon passed,
however. and the shades OF night were falling
without the appearance OF the youngsters, Mrs.
Henry became worried and started out 10 look
for them. After wandering until dark without
finding the children. Mrs. Henry became
greatly frightened, and when her husband, who
is miner. returned from work. she insisted on
his calling on the neighbors to assist 10 search
ing Tor the lost ones. number Of Deighbors
were notified aud, MS the news spread rapidly u
party OF eleven persons soon started out 10
search Of the children. Messengers were at
once dispatched 10 Gilberton. Shenandoah, and
MahunOy City. to see if the children had strayed
TO either of those places. In the meantime, the
search was carried on indus,riously In the hills
that surround the home OF the little ones. but
up to midnight no clew to their whereabouts
was discovered. About this time the messeu-
gers returned from the surrounding villages and
reported that they could find no traces of the
children. The search was carried on diligently,
however, and between l and o'clock one of the
cry for help issue from thcket on hill just
above the village of GilbertOu. aud on ruuuing
in that direction. came upon an old sink hole. at
tue bottom Of which he heard the children. who,
in answer to his inquiries, SAID they were un-
turt, tut could not get out. Peters shouts
soon brought achievements to the spot. aud
among them came Mrs. Henry. the distracted
mother, who had spent the entire night in the
hills looking for her little ones. Her Joy on
learning that they had been found and were un-
injured. proved more than her mind could bear
and she tainted. As the pit which the children
were in is about fifty feet deep, and has per-
pendicular sides, the children could not be got
out without rupe, so one of the party was dis.
patched to Gilberton, and in about half an hour
he returned with the desired article. The rope
was fastened around Mr. Henry waists, and with
u lantern In his hand was lowered into the
black depths Of the pit. The boy was first
hoisted up and then Mr.. Henry and the little
girl. The children state that they we're picking
berries, when the bank on which they were
standing crumbled beneath their feet. and they
were carried to the bottom. Strange to say
beyond few bruises and scratches. the little
ones were unhurt. The boy says the accident
occurred about nine or ten O'Clock, and conse
quently they were confined in the pit nearly six.
teen hours. Fortunately the snk-hole the
children fell into did not. like the majority of
such places, contain wafer. or they would IN all
probability have been drowned Possible Pa J

About Cards and Note Paper fer 1879.
An unmarried lady's card is 81 by inches.
A married ladys card 81 by 23 inches.
The most fashionable form for gentleman's
card is comparatively small, 81 by II inches, or
even a little under.
All invitations are printed on white pa per.
Wedding Invitations are on octave note, or even
smaller note paper.
Visiting cards are perhaps triae larger in
size than q year ago, and OF pure ivory white
card. The largest form is used for husband and
wife, and is cut by 81 inches. 1t reads, for
example, 'Mr. and Mrs. Richard Roe" with the
address '14 Forteseue Square" in the lower
right hand corner.
printed on white note, medium size, and like
wedding invitations, in script They may as
sumo several forms, the palmer the better.
Fashionable note paper is either smooth or
rough unruied, and in faint tints of steel grey,
cream, dove, "a light shade of silver grey) or
pure white. Ladies use octave note folded
once or twice, and gentlemen small commercial
note, always folded twice. The monogram, il
used is placed in the upper left-hand corner.
Japan ess letters, small aud odd, are now the
rage. and are sometimes placed in gilt or black,
on q small red and blue shield. 1t is very
stylish TO have the address printed at the top
of the page in small letters faced with red, or
without ink. The octave cards for brief MESA
ges are becoming more and more popular, posi-
bly, because they are an excuse for brevity ;
they are square, with plain edges, and the mon
ogfam in small letters may be printed in the
left-hand corner. Cards are manufactured with
the different days of the week printed in silver
and color, blended. Many fanciful designs in
stationery are being put upon the market One
STYLE has the appearance of having the corner
pinned down, with the monogram on the fold.
Various grotesque and humorous pictures are
also printed at the head of note paper, and the
irresponsible pug dog has his photograph thus
circulated in striking colors. It is Justly held
to be in very bad taste to use note paper with
more printed on it than the plain monogram
and address.-Minneapolis HossekeepT.

straw for Fuel.

THE Americans burn money, we burn straw
says the Mennonite settler; how they manage
to keep warm in winter and to cook the year
round with no other fuel but loose straw, is q
mystery to the average American. The Men,
monte immigrant, when choosing q locality, is
quite unconcerped at the total absence of tim
Der, and will settle many miles from wood or
COAL with indifference as to the fuel question,
in localities where an American would never
think of making farm. He sees fuel for the
first year in the miles of grass about him, the
second and succeeding years he will have the
straw from his crops, and straw stacks are his
favorite substitute for the wood pile and the
coal bin. In early summer, being attracted by
the light, the female beetle lays eggs in the
earth !; the young grubs (larv@) are Matched
from these, and go about to find food. Bat lit
tie il known of their history for the first year
no special damage is traced to them, and it is
supposed that they live on small root fbres, the
loss of which is not noticed. In their second
year they make their presence felt /; they ap-
pear then to work just below the surface, aud
as already stated, devour almost every root or
other vegetable substance they find. At this
time they are of the shape of figure 2; when
full-grown, somewhat larger. The body is of
dirty white color, the heal is broynish. In the
spring of the third year, the grub having made
its full growth, it goes into the chrysalis state,
and IN May or June comes ont a beetle.
