g WOVen Air."

The Decca muslins of India are
among the most wonderful evidences of
the hand-skill of the strange people of
the mysterious East. These fabrics,
which are spun and woven entirely by
hand, and are the product of obscure
and curious processes, unknown to and
unattainable by the Western nations,
like the fabrication of Damascus steel
and the making of camels-hair shawls,
are marvels of ingenuity and skill, and
they illustrate the poetry of cotton.
The most delicate of these fabrics is
known by the name of woven air." 1t
can only be made in the early morning
and in the evenings, when the air is full
of moisture and the dew is on the
grass. The processes by which it is
woven are kept secret, and the people
who do the work are compelled first to
pass through long course of training
and imitation. Their delicate wares are
of such ethereal texture as to be almost
invisible, and yet are SO enduring that
they will bear washing and wear in a
wonderful manner. This precious stuff
is monopolized for the use of the ladies'
of the Oriental harems, and is said to
be worth hundreds of dollars per yard.

SeWer.Gas and Disease.

The authorities of one Of the largest
hospitals in London toobmeasures to
ventilate all the drains and sewers in
connection with their institution. Up
to the time these alterations were made,
pyamia and erysipelas had almost
driven the medical staff to despair.
When the whole of the ventilation was
completed, and as soon as the pressure
was removed from the traps of the clos
cts and the lavatories, no fresh cases
we've found to occur. For months the
hospital wards were free from both cry
sipeias and pyamia. Suddenly, how
ever, there was a fresh outbreak of
these diseases, but it was noticed that
the epidemic was confined to one of the
surgical wards, built apart from the
main building, on the pavilion plan,
and having one story. Close investiga-
ton proved that the ventilation pipe in
this wing had been stopped up by a
careless workman. When this was
remedied, all traces of the epidemic
disappeared.

Feeding Grounds Of Fishes.

The inshore feeding grounds of fishes
most esteemed by commerce are not
determined by mere luck, as fishermen
are so fond of believing. The mouths
of rivers are naturally attractive, par
ticularly during the family reunion of
fresh water fish which have been MAX
ing the grand tour. Bays with stony
bottoms are the homes of some varie-
ties of prolific crustacea dearly beloved
of fish, and the motion of the water is
constantly detaching this food from the
rocks. In land-locked shadows are to
be found numerous small fish which
either make their homes there, or flee
thitherward as to a city of refuge.
Straits through which strong tides can
not easily force their way, and currents
which oppose tides, are generally full
of eddies, and these present many at
fractions to hungry fish. An eddy is a
sort of aqueous savings-bank, which abb
serbs whatever fish-food comes near it,
and, like savings-banks elsewhere, it
frequently yields its treasure to those
whose might is their only substitute for
right. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence and
adjacent waters all these conditions for
supplying food exist, SO it is not won
derful that the gulf is as popular re-
sort for fish as it is for fishermen.

A Flag Of Truce,

Gen. Gordon, in an account of the
scenes connected with the surrender of
Lees army, gave an amusing instance
of the undress condition in which SOL
diers in the field sometimes find them
selves. Gen. Gordon had determined
to send flag of truce to Gen. Sheri-
dan, and for that purpose summoned
Maj. Hunter, of his staff, and told him
to carry a flag of truce forward. He
replied, General, I have no flag of
truce"
The General told him to get one.
He replied, General, we have no
flag of truce in our command"
"Then take your handkerchief and
put it on stick, and go forward"
Il have no handkerchief, General"
"Then borrow one, and go forward
with it,"
General, there is no handkerchief in
The staff"
"Then, Major, use your shirt"
"You see, General, that we all have
on flannel shirts"
At last man was found who had q
white shirt, of which the back and tail
were torn off, and, rigging that peaceful
emblem to stick, the Major went TO-
ward the enemy's lines.

He Got Something Frisky.

"Got something frisky?" he asked, as
he WALL ed into livery stable, and
called for saddle-horse something
that will prance about lively and wake
a fellow out of his lethargy? I used
to ride the trick mules in circus, and
I reckon 1 can back anything that
wears hair" They brought him out a
calico-colored beast with vicious eye,
and he mounted it and dashed off.
Before he had gone two blocks the
animal bueked, crashed through high
board fence and plunged inio cellar,
tossing his rider over the top of an
adjacent woodshed and landing him on
the ragged edge of hwn-mower.
They bore him home, Strengthened him
out, and three surgeons came in and
reduced his dislocations and plastered
him up with raw beef. A few weeks
later he called at the stable and said if
they had a gentle saw-horse with an
affectionate disposition, bride with a
curb bit and martingales, and saddle
with two horns and crupper to it, he
believed he would go up in the haymow
and gallop around little where it was
soft and it wouldn't hurt him if he went
to sleep and fell off as he did the other
day.-Baltimore Bulletin.

An Old Preachers RetOrt.

A correspondent of the Columbus
(Ga) Enquirer relates the following
anecdote: 81 am reminded of an anec-
dote told many years ago, of the father
of Governor Walter t. Colquitt, OF
Georgia, and the celebrated James
Rockmore, both of whom 1 knew well.
The former was q lawyer and Methodist
preacher and the latter minister of
the Primitive Baptist persuasion, and
quite as much of an oracle among his
brethren as was Mr.. Colquitt. Mr.. Col
quit, going to his appointment to
preach on Sunday, stopped by the way
side and went into an orchard to eat
some peaches, having permission from
the owner. Rockmore rode by on his
way to his meeting, and bawled out {:
Never mind, Colquitt; I'll bear witness
in heaven against you for stealing those
peaches Hold on said Colquitt,
drawing blank book and pencil from
his pocket, 'let me take your interrogar
tories; YOU won't be there"

dear beings can't help it; we control 'em,
and the precious fellows don't know it..
Gas husbands they are never conven-
lent, and not always ON hand; as beaux,
they are by'no means to be matched.
They are most agreeable visitors; they

BILE at oyster-saloons. They are splendid

sister, and as friends they are far better
than women. AS our fathers they are
inexpressibly grand. A man may be a
failure in business, wreck in constitu-
ton, nothing to boast of as beauty,
nothing as wit, less than nothing as a
legislator for woman's rights, and even
brilliant as a member of the press; but If
he is our own father, We overlook his
shortcomings and cover his peccadilloes
with the divine mantle of charity. Then,
as our husbands, how We love to parade
them as paragons! In the sublime Ian
guage of the inspired poet:
Well lie for them,

And if We could, we'd fly for them
We'd do anything but die for them "

A Bear Fight.

A lively bear fight in the Adirondacks
was described in a letter from Indian
river to the New York Safatogia1s. 1t
occurred at about six miles from that
place, at shanty which is owned by
number of gentlemen who visit that
region about twice year for the pur-
pose of hunting and fishing. The
party consisted of MIR. Parker, of New
York, Mr.. Pulver, two gentlemen from
Conklingville, n. j., and guide named
Bonnie. Returning from their days
hunt, the two Conkhngville hunters
went back with stretcher for the pur-
pose of fetching a deer that had been
killed. Bonnie started from the shanty
to get pail of water, some little dis
tence away. Parker, who was in poor
health, and Pulver were left in charge
of the cabin, and the latter was engaged
in making hot sling for his invalid
friend. All at once Pulver heard his
friend give a fearful scream, and, upon
looking up, found huge black bear
growing and snarling in the most saw
age manner. The bear advanced toward
Pulver as though to take him in its en-
brace. Pulver, acting upon the impulse
of the moment, dashed the now-boiling
water full in the animals face, at the
same time endeavoring to make his es-
cape to the loft overhead. He had
barely time to reach the top round of
the short ladder when the exasperated
bear caught him by the leg and held
him as in wise, lacerating his limb.
Pulver cried Justify for help. Parker,
nearly frightened to death, caught the
bear by the short tail, and prevented
him from making further advance on
his friend. They now both cried pite-
ously for help, and it came quickly in
the form Of Bonnie, the guide, whose
experience in the woods had taught him
that GOODNESS and decision were the
things needed in such an emergency.
This he showed in his quickness in get
ting O gun and shooting the beast.

Mrs. Williams made believe that she
