Curious INSTRUMENTATION.

A few days ago the body of an I'M
known woman was picked up in the
Atlantic Dock basin, Brooklyn, and
from its appearance it had only been in
the water a few days. The body was
poorly clad, and, from the fact that a
small flask of whisky vas found in the
bosom of the dress of the deceased, it
was taken for granted that she had be-
come stupid from the effects of liquor,
and while in that condition had fallen
into the river and was drowned. The
body was removed to the Morgue to
await identification. Several persons
called at the Morgue during the subsc-
quent two days, and nearly all identi-
fled the woman as the widow of Cap
tain Nagle, Fenian cruiser. Among
others who thus recognized her was the
executor of Captain Nagle's estate. An
inquest was appointed, and again the
executor identified the remains as those
Of Mrs. Nagie-this time by scar on
her forehead. He was then taken to
the Office, where he was confronted by
the real Mrs. Nagle, alive and well, and
the poor man was completely con-
founded. The body of the unfortu
nate woman, which was mistaken for
that of Mrs. Nagle, was not claimed by
anybody. There was a very striking
resemblance between the two women,
and it was not surprising that Mrs.
Nagle's friends were mistaken.

The Princess Pilar-.-The Biited Life
and Untimely Death of King AlfonsO's
Sister

A correspondent writing from Paris
to the New York Tribune speaks as fol-
lows of the late Princess Pillar of Spain:
1t would not be doing justice to the
Infanta Pillar to say that she was the
handsomest member other family. She
was singulary beautiful, and IN no wise
Bourbon. 1t is no secret that her father
was Capitano PUG Motto of the Span
ish artillery, with whom Queen Isabella
consoled herself, alter the desertion of
the Duke de Soto, and before she made
the acquaintance of Seniors Manfri and
Puenta, for her unhappy marriage.
The deceased Princess had attained her
18th year. If the next Queen Consort
of Spain should furnish the church with
christening. the infanta was to be
married to the Crown Prince of Aus
tria; if no child were born, she was to
remain in Spain and choose husband
who would be satisfied to live there.
The infanta had clear olive complex
ion, regular and finely chiseled features,
eyes dark and profound as those Of
Mile. Rachel, and dark hair that might
have been stolen from pagan god
dess. Her figure menacei clumsiness,
but not to the extent of her mothers.
She was called after an Aragonese
Madonna held in great veneration by

How Horses Become Blind.

One OF the worst eye traps known Is
the abominable hay rack, where a
horse has to reach up and pull the hay
down, filling his name, foretop, and
worst of all, his eyes with hay seed,
chaff or whatever may be mixed with
the provender. These traps are met
with nearly everywhere throughout the
land. These throw the horse in the
most unnatural position for feeding, as
the natural position is to reach down
and pull up, not to reach up and pull
down, as these hay racks make them do.
In reaching up to eat it exposes the
foretop, face and eyes to seed, chaff
and dirt which, getting on the head
once, is liable to get into the eyes at
any time. We will speak now of the
abuse that horsemen resort to in con-
trolling Il horse. The worst of all is in
striking him over the head with a
leather strap, your fist, a club or whip.
Shame on a man that would dare club
over the head the nobest of creation
next to mani But am sorry to say we
find great many so-called horsemen
that take delight in sitting on their
wagon seat and trying to see how close
they can send the point of a cracker to
the horses ear, or strike some particular
spot on the back of the head, neck
or shoulders. But my word for it,
man who will practice this,
comes to grief sooner or later. Instinct
tells the horse to be careful of his head,
and especially of his eyes, for when
they are gone that ends his seeing, as
he LHo roctornl
put in, as we all know. Therefore,
never surike horse about the head.
The number of horses eyes hurt by
slipping the collar over the head would
surprise us all if known. A horses
head, with good eye setting out boldly
on a square face, is a hard thing to slip
a stiff collar over without rubbing and
bruising the eye. Next, we have the
stable to contend with, and it produces
more weak eyes than any other one
thing we know Of. The gases arising
Let man stand over pile of warm
decomposing manure and see how
quickly it affects the eyes. But he
thinks about the horse in his closely
confined stall with no ventilation either
above or below to carry away this poison.
Set your stables up from the ground,
give ventilation underneath so as to
cOnfne this gas and compel it to rise
through the cracks in the floor. Also
good ventilation high above the horses
heads to cause a current of air to carry
off this poison as it generates. Always
give the horse plenty OF light, but not
=! n I \ a
as not to condepse the rays as they
come through small opening. Never
whitewash stall, as white is very bad
On the eyes. Take sheet of white
paper and hold it before your eyes a
short time and see its effects; but you
can turn your head and look away from
it while the horse cannot, as he is tied
up with white sheet all around him.
Never whitewash stall, but always use
blue, as it will never hurt the eyes.

How to Make a Bark Lodge.

The Earl of Dunraven gives the fol-
lowing directions for making hunting
lodge, Canadian style: Having selected
a level spot, make four low walls of
two or three small pine logs, laid one
on the other, and on these raised the
framework of the camp. This consists
of light thin poles stuck into the upper
surface of the logs, and the upper end
leaning against and supporting each
other. The next operation is to strip
large sheets of bark off the birch trees,
and thatch these poles to within a foot
or two of the top, leaving sufficient
aperture for. the smoke to escape. Other
poles are then laid upon the sheets OF
birch bark to keep them in their places.
A small doorway is left in one side, and
a door is constructed out of slabs Of
wood or out of the skin of some animal.
You next level off the ground inside,
and strew it thickly with the small tops
of Canadian balsam fir for breadth of
about four feet; then take plant ash
saplings and peg them down along the
edge of the pine tops to keep the car
pet in its place, leaving a bare space in
the center of the hut, where you make
the fire.

AGRICULTURAL.
Apples for Hogs.

There is perhaps no vegetable grown
that is more nutritious and healthful
for hogs than the apple. The pulp OF
the apple contains large amount OF
saccharine matter, one OF the fat pro-
ducing elements. While at the same
time, the acids of the fruit destroys and
aids in expeiling intestinal parasites of
the young growing hogs, especially at
this season of the year. 1t is a good
plan to turn into the orchard, once or
twice per week, all the hogs, old and
young, that they may consume all of
the inferior fruit, which otherwise would
60 to waste. II it is not convenient to
do this, gather daily all of the surplus
and inferior apples and dispose of them
to your hogs, and you will be amply re-
paid for your trouble.-Spitit Of Arkan-
sos

A PENNSYLVANIA Gold Hunt.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The people of Petersburg, Clarion
county, have tradition. During the
time the French occupied that portion
of the world, through fear of being sur
prised and routed by the enemy. they
buried an imln ense amount of gold coin
on Stump creek, near the mouth of Six
Mile run, or Ashbaugh run. The old
est inhabitants state that, some fifty
years ago, strange band of Frenehmen
came there and spent some months dig
ging along the banks of the Clarion
river, it is supposed, for this treasure,
but their search was unsuccessful.
Nothing further had been done until
few days ago, when party of promi-
nent young men of the place undertook
to discover the treasure. Their first
effort was unsuccessful. They intend
ed to organize a regular company and
renew their efforts, making complete
search.

Queen Isabella. Death came upon the
poor girl with fearful suddenness. 1t
appears that she inspired Prince Ru-
dolph of Austria with passion which
she reciprocated. The uncertainty
about her marriage tormented her.
Was she TO be Empress of Austria: or,
was she to be kept in Spain to provide
heirs for the throne? She would have
willingly renowned her contingent
blrthright; but jurists held that if she
renowned her own claim to the sue
cesslon she could not prejudice the
rights of her children. The infanta,
without being seriously i'll, ran down.
Sea-balhs were ordered, and she went
to waterlng-place on the southern shore
of the Bay of Biscay. While bathing there
she was seized with fit of the epileptic
type which lasted several hours, from
which she only awoke in another world.
The King and Princess of Asturias, who
were telegraphed for, did not arrive in
time to see her pass away. Queen
Isabella was at her country house read
ing a letter which the postman had
just brought from the Infanta when the
telegram announcing her decease ar
rived. The unfortunate mother was
overwhelmed with grief. for she is
most affectionate toward her children,
and has keenly felt her separation from
them, Notwithstanding her intimacy
with Puenta and his family. The In
fanta Paz now stands on the step of the
throne occupied by her sister Pillar.
She is the age of the Duke de Mont
pensier's son Antonio, and III all likeli-
hood will be his wife. Thus the Guizc-
tine policy of the Spanish marriages
has a fresh chance of being realized.
Princess Paz or Peace, is fair and of
pleasing appearance. She was con-
firmed by the late Pope, and is sup
posed to be Manori- Bourbon. The
first telegram of coincidence which
King Alfonso received was from his
chivalrous young friend, the Crown
Prince of Austria"

wives, and all alive and well at this
time, and the father of twelve children
by each wife, making in all thirty-six
children-and all of them living. This
muchly married man had on a long
tailed jeans coat, with the initials of his
name worked IN blue cotton on
the lapel of his coat, and bore himself
as proudly as though every child he can
claim as his own was thousand dollars.
He was summoned here as witness in
a chancery suit and grew very indig-
nant because young lawyer would not
pay him his fees.
