soon they were face to face with
the horrible form that had haunted
this place for years. OF giant

locks, his arms OF the size of sap.

red hair all over his body, lie stood
facing the men with an expression
of hate and ferocity. His teeth

this horrible figure throwing the
dog from him, moved away, and
then they saw what they had not
noticed before-that one foot was
backward aud the other forward,
and that lie could run one way as
well as the other. Fleet of foot,
he could dodge first one way and
then the other, and springing by
the mighty trees of the forest, he
was soon lost to view. His track
was measured and found to be
twenty. seven inches in length. His
height was estimated by measuring
small tree near which lie stood,
and found to be eleven feet and

The Care Of tho Hair.

A fine head of natural hair is Ger.

hair used to he the ambition aud
the pride, or perhaps the envy and
despair OF every young lady. In
latter days We have seen strange
changes 10 feminine opinion on this
subject. All sorts of wild and pic.
turesque confusion, crimps, tufts,
ringlets, false pieces OF every des-
criptioD, have deformed heads which
might else have been graceful. But
bangs and montague curls have
capped the very climax of ugliness.
The prettiest and most piquant face
grows commonplace under their
spell. The brow, noblest part OF
the countenapce, is concealed be-
meath straight or tangled mat,
and undue prominence is accorded
to the lower parts of the face. We
wish our girls would resolve never
to wear banged hair or montague
curled hair, unless they wish to be
taken for fanatics on q tramp.
To keep the hair in good condi-
ton, eschew pomades, bandoliue
and unguents. Brush it frequently
with a clean, dry brush. Cleanse
the brush once q week with borsx,
or few drops Of Ammonia. Let
the hair be loose and fec Ct night,

And the good that | eau do.

Whose deeds crown history's pages,
And times great volume make.

When, man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall he lighted
As Eden was of old.

With all that is divine,
To feel that there is union

Open Secrets In Cookery.

Both doctors sud epicures agree
upon rare meats-the former for
digestion, the latter for taste, au,i
that all heats and game are tue
better for slight cooking, with tho
exception of veal and pork-that
they do not recommend at all. 1t is
quite common, now, for the physi.
clan to order sandwich of raw
bcef-that is, Il slice OF uncOoked
beef, minced fine, seasoned-and
spread between two thin slices of
bread-as far more nourishing for
weak digestions than cooked meats.
1t is only the idea of rawness, it
seems, that is in the way, aud not
the taste, as when it is out of sight
most people can learn TO like this
rarest Of beef. The same reason
that ordains the juices must run in
the leg of mutton when the knife
goes in, and that the game must
only "hy past" the kitchen fire. is
behind this, aud herein is why
broiled meats are 80 delicate and
palatable.
The outside is so quickly cooked
that the juices within are not af.
feeted by the fire. Just what hap.
pens to milk when it is boiled, the
thickening of the skin on top, and
what is seen also in hard mniled
egg, occurs in meats; the albumrn-
the nourishing quality-is hardened
and tOughened when meat is too
long exposed TO neat. SO the care.
tul housewife who puts her meat in
the oven early, we'll sailed, and
watches it from time as all the Juice
draws out of it with the salt and
the heat, until a hard brown round
or rib is ready to be put on the
table, has really extracted from the
meat almost all its nOurishmeut,
and gives the family mass of dried
iibres to chew. This also explains
Why much land most) frying spoils

French cook says, is the main thing.
You must have hot oven for what.
ever is to be roasted, and a bed of
very hot Goals for broiling. or fat
that is hot enough to send upa blue
smoke for whatever is to be fried.
Then the outside is Immediately
hardened over, and the rest of the
process must depend upon the size
of the piece. The trouble with most
frying is that the fat is not hot, the
meat, or fish, or mush, or oysters
are left to siz<le a long time, until
they gradually brown, by which
time they are dry and tasteless.
But the sudden plunge into smoking
not burning-fat, which the quick
change of color on the surface
shows, keeps all the taste and fresh
ness in the article to be cooked. So
with all roasts-a very hot oven at
first, and no seasoning until the
meat browns, keeps the juices intact.
But the joints must not be suffered
to burn, and the oven must he
cooled of little as soon rs the ont.
side is well coated. After this the
old rule of fifteen minutes to a pound
can be varied to suit taste, and as
the household can take its meat
rare. But the meat must be elastic
to the pressure of the finger, or it is
done to death" Fish also must
be rapidly cooked; oysters require
to be merely dropped for a minute
into the boiling liquor, because the
juices Of all these must not be suf.

Paying the National Debt.
[Cincinnati Commercial. |

The treasury receipts OH the 23d
reached the large sum of million
and a half of dollars. The receipts
now constantly average over mil.
lion dollars daily. The general
opinion at Washington among gov.
eminent officials is that unless the
debt is paid of at a rapid rate, Con.
gress will be justified in making
large reductions in taxation. Score.
tary Sherman favors paying the debt
rapidly aud thus getting out of the
way and relieving the people from
interest burthens. He thinks none
of it should become permanent ex.
cept, perhaps, one thousand millions
in long time low interest bonds
which will be sufficient to meet the
reasonable investment demands of
the banks and people. Many think
that Congress will make no reduc.
ton in taxation, but let the revenues
boom at the present rate, pay of
the debt, and get the disagreeable
thing out of the way.
The new census will give reason
ably accurate information as to
where the bulk of the national debt
is held. A detail of clerks from the
census office is at work in the treas.
ury, looking over the records for
this information. United States
bonds are held by persons scattered
all over the country. Therefore the
duty of compilations by States is
not an easy one. So far as the
registered four per cent. loan is con-
cerned, it can be located without
much difficulty.

The End of the World.

The following cheerful picture of
the end of the world is by the noted
French scientist, Camille Flamma.
rion:
THE earth was born; she will
die. She will either die of old age,
when her vital elements shall have
been used up, or through the extinc-
ton of The sun, to whose rays her
life is suspended. She might also
die by fire, through collision with
some celestial body meeting her on
her route; but this end of the world
is the most improbable ofal She
may, we repeat, die natural death,
through the slow absorption Of her
vital elements. In fact, it is proba.
ble that the air and water are di.
minishing. The ocean, like the at.
mosphere, appears to have been
formerly much more considerable
than it is in our day. The terres.
trial crust is penetrated by waters
which combine chemically with the
rocks. 1t is almost certain that the
temperature of the interior of the
globe reaches that of boiling water
at the depth of about six miles, and
prevents the water from descending
any lower; but the absorption will
continue with the cooling of the
globe. The oxygen, nitrogen and
carbonic acid which compose our
atmosphere also appear to undergo
absorption, but slower. The thinker
may forsee, through the mists of
ages yet to come, the epoch, yet
atar off, in which the earth, deprived
of the atmospheric, aqueous vapor
which protects her from the glacial
cold of space by preserving tue
solar rays around her, will become
chilled in the sleep of death. AS
Henri Eivariel says: From the
summit of the mountains a winding
sheet of snow will descend upon the
high plateaus and the valleys, driv.
ing before it life and civilization,
and masking forever the cities aud
nations that it meets on its pas.
sage Life and human activity will
press insensibly toward the inter.
tropical zone. St. Petersburg, Der.
lin, London, Paris, Vienna, Con.
stantinople and Rome will fall asleep
in succession under the eternal
shroud. During very many ages
equatorial humanity will undertake
Arctic expeditions to find again
under the ice the places of Paris,
Lyous, Bordeaux and Marseilles.
The sea coasts will have changed,
and the geographical map of the
earth will have been transformed.
No one will live and breathe any
more except in the equatorial zoue
up to the day when the last family,
nearly dead with cold and hunger,
will sit on the shore of the last sea
in the rays of the sun, which will
thereafter shine here below on an
ambulent tomb revolving aimlessly
around a useless light and barren
heat"
