Fox Hunting.

Maryland has always taken the lead in
this sport among the States of North Amer
lea There are at PRESENT several good
packs Of fox hounds near Baltimore, and it
is possible 70 enjoy all the excitement of
the sport though without those picturesque
accessories Of the 'pink, the livercd hunts
men and whipper-in. the ladies present at
the meet, &c, which accompany the diver
sion in England. The ''pink," by the way,
is the technical name given to the red coat,
brass buttons and corduroys, in which fox
hunting gentlemen Of experience always
appear in the field. In England. packs Of
fox hounds amounting TO twenty or twen-
ty-five couple are generally kept up by sub
scriptiOn, and the kennels are placed on
the property and under the personal super
vision of some gentleman who may be chO-
sen Master of the Hounds, and whose name
the pack frequently bears. The dogs are
neUer trusted TO the sole care of subordi-
mates, however faithful. 1t is in England
an extremely expensive amusement, invol-
wing not only large subscription to the
pack, but one or more hunters, and quiet
hack to ride to cover, besides costly hilari-
ties which are expected in turn from men,
bers of the club. 1t is estimated that the
yearly sum required for keeping up pack
of dogs in England is not less than $4,000
(s25, 0OO). Many writers in English papers
are now suggesting that if farmers re-
strained their sons from taking part in such
amusements they would have less reason
to complain of high rents and hard times.
The sons answer that part Of their business
is to breed fine horses, and that they can
best sell them by exhibiting their qualities

hunting period extends from the latter pgrt

Coffee.

Thi nOW universe leverage was first in
trOduced into England in the reign of James
l., but it did not come into general use until
a late period. In 1860, by an set OF Charles
H., q tax Of fourpence was imposed on
every gallon Of coffee sold, and every vender
of the article was obliged to take out a
license. In 1879 all the cofTee-house in
London were closed by proclamation, as be-
ing the resort Of evil minded persons and
sedItionaries; yet, as had been the case one
bundled years earlier at COnstantinople,
the people were soon after left to drink
coffee when and where they pleased. Up
TO this period. and for some time after, all
the coffee consumed in Europe was brought
from Arabia. The trade was very profitable
to the Arabs, who prohibited the exporta-
ton OF plants from Yemen under severe
penalties; and it is said that they destroyed
the terminating principle of the berries, so
as TO prevent foreigners raising crop from
seed. But about 1850, Witsen, burge-
master of Amsterdam, persuaded the COVER
nor of Java to procure some coffee berries
from Arabia Felix. These were sown at
Batavia, and in 1890 one of the plants thus
raised was sent to Holland, where it was
planted in the botanic garden at Leyden. 1t
ilourished. bore fruit, aud from the ripened
seed other plants were propagated, from
which the Dutchcolo ny OF Surinam wassup
piled. In 17l4 a young tree was sent from
Amsterdam as present to Louis XIV, and
preserved in the Jardin des Plantes at Paris:
and this tree, il is said, furnished plants for
the French colonies in South America and
the West Indies. II seems somewhat singu-
lar that tropical countries, the natural abode
of the coffee tree, should have been indebt-
ed to Europe for it. Yet so it was, and from
this small beginning has grownup an i'm
mense commerce.

NO. 4S.

OF the present month 10 the beginning Of
April, though the amusement cannot DO
carried on while the earth is hard frozen or
covered with snow. Moist air without ac-
tual rain, and gentle gale from the south
or west are favorable conditions of the at
mosphere for fox hunting, because then the
scent clings to the soil and to vegetation;
| but best Of all Is .hca il is suspended in
The air, breast hi 10 the dogs, because
there they can run RELY without putting
their heads down to the ground. Fox
hunting was not national sport with our
ancestors in England until Queen Anne's
time; that is. about the close of the seven
teenth century. Before that stag hunting
and coursins were considered fincrspOrt for
gentlemen, after the disappearance of the
| wolf and bear. The best hunting ground
| should be pastoral rather than arabic, with
covers at acknowledgements, preventing
the fox from getting readily 10 earth, and
securing a good run" In some parts of
England the hedges, which are accompanied
by deep ditch, are formidable obstacles;
though a hunting authority of that country
assures us that an experienced rider nav
have no more trace of his passage ''than If
bird had hoped through" An English
horse will generally take wall or five
barred gate better than a running stream,
mis;rusting by instinct his fOOthold in the
neighbOrhood of water In Ireland stone
walls are common, and test all the courage
and experience Of fox hunters. The great
est recorded feat of horse leapIng wa. that
of a gentleman in 1892, who succesSively
took wall o. feet on the inside and S on
the other. To know how to fall'' judic-
iously is one Of the most important accom-
plishments of the fox hunter. What the
celebrated Assheton Smith would have said
to the recent death of fox in Baltimore
wood yard by a revolver of policeman
may be imagined from an anecdote told of
his emotion on reading his morning paper
in his Old age: Good Heaven" he cried,
in an answer to an inquiry as to what excl
ed him, "a fine fox has been buried alive

Do Monkeys Swim?

but at Sangua, Central India, when / was

was exceedingly fond of swimming and
diving. One day, on taking him TO the
pond at the bottom of my compound, he
jumped off my shoulder and dived Qike a
mani into the water, which was three or
four feet deep; he had his chain on at the
time, and when he diyed in the chain
caught in some grass or root at the bottom
and kept the monkey down; he was just
able to come to the top of the water. Feel
ing his chain had caught, he dived down,
undid the cham, and continued to swim
with the chain in his hand. He swan just
like man, as far as l could see from the
motion of his arms. Several of my brother
officers cane to see him swimming, of
which he was very fond, wwimming very
vuietly, and cunningly trying to catch the
frogs that lay floating on the top Of the
water.

Printing Paper.

The principal ingredients of this pape
are straw, rags and wood. A mill of thi
kind affords ready market for all the straw
produced in the country for miles around
The straw is piled up in great stacks neal
the mill ready for use The rags come iron
all parts of this country and Europe. The
wood is bought in the pulp from firms who
make a business of reducing wood to a fnt
pulp. Regarding the processes which these
materials undergo while being converted in
to paper: In the first place the straw is cut
up fine and passed through tanning mill,
which separates it from all the grain and
particles Of dust. 1t is then put into huge
rotary boilers, running under eighty pounds
of steam pressure, where it is boiled and
cleansed in a strong solution of caustic
alkali, after which it is emptied into watts
and thrown up into washing engines filled
with water; there the alkali is extracted.
and chlorine is added for the purpose of
whitening it. After remaining here until
the pulp is thoroughly washed. il is emptied
into large vets, where il is left to bleach
twenty-four hours. The pulp in this stage
is as white as snow, and Is one mass of fine
silky fiber. The rags are first carefully
assorted. and everything not composed Of
cotton or linen is discarded. They are then
cut up and busted by machinery, after
which they are boiled and cleansed with
solution of lime in other rotary boilers.
Afterward they pass through the SANE pro-
cess as the straw until they, too, arereduced
to beautiful, white. fibrous pulp. Equal
quantities of rag and straw pulp are mixed
together with lesser quantity of wood pulp.
To this is added small portion of kaolin,
or white clay, which is used to fill up the
pores Of the paper, and give it a smoother
surface. The whole is then put into a
beating engine, where it remains until the
different ingredients are thoroughly united
This operation usually takes about three
hours. Here also the blue cOloring is added
"A blue white being considered the best
shade for the paper. From the beating
engine the pulp is pumped up into another
engine, where it passes through the last
stage of refining. and is dropped in liquid
form into an immense tub. Ii is now ready
to be put into form. There are two kinds
OF machines for this work, the FOurdriner
and the cylinder. The Fourdriner, the
latest invention, and the most perfect ma
chine now in use. is used at this mill. The
fibrous liquid is then poured from the tub
through strainer into the machine, where
it is caught on an endless Sieve Of very fine
wire, which filters out the water and retains
the fibre. This sieve continually vibrates
as it moves along thus thoroughly uniting
the fibre. and when it reaches the section
box, all the water is drawn from the pulp.
This sheet is carried over numerous drying
cylinders, heated by steam then over the
cylinder rolls, where ii receives its final
gloss and finish; and IS finally wound on
spools, weighed, wrapped, marked and
stored, ready for shipment.

We can draw attention to but one more
of the many pertinent and useful hints con-
tanned in tsis small volume. 1t will scarce
y be disputed that the present moral tone
Of the upper and middle classes in Ameri-
ca, no less than in English and Continen-
tai society, is a source of injury to the
young The studious ignoring of certain
lapses on the part of men, at all events, in
sexual morality; the theory that the sub
ject should not be too closely scrutinized;
the custom Of allowing wealth, talents, OF
agreeable manners TO partially or wholly
atone for dissolute habits; the growing ten
dency to arrange marriage on commercial
basis, and to postpone wedlock in the case
Of men until the period of maximum vitali-
ty is passed-all these things must contri-
butte to the generation of social atmOs-
phere equally unfavorable to the moral
health of men and women. Seeing how the
highest aims of parental education are con-
stantly shipwrecked by social influences,
our author insists that women, quite as
much as men, must think and act so as TO
change the tone and posture of society to-
ward certain derelictions. No doubt the
problem Is one of extreme delicacy, and
could, in any event, be solved only by
combined action. On the one hand, no
inquisitorial investigation of private life is
desirable or permissible. Our author sub
mits, however, that no person of acknow
ledged licentiOus conduct should be admit
ted into society, much less have access to
the intimacy Of home, no matter what ma
terial or intellectual advantages may en-
bellish and commend them.
