a remarkable solar protuberance was
lately observed by NJ. TbOllon at the
Paris Observatory. The prOtuberaDce
rose vertically as a thin luminous jet,
moving at the rate OF about twenty
miles per second, to height equal TO
one-four;h of the suns diameter, or
about $4,000 miles. After rising, il
gradually decreased In brightness,
at the same time enlarging TO prOdi-

DOMESTIC.

ALL THE RAGE.-We see nowadays
city and country houses which look
rather like shops for the exhibition
of bric-a-brac and rich hangings than
homes in which people expect TO get
comfort. The rooms upon which some
famous upholsterer has lavished the
resources of his stock may remind one
of the modern scenic seats on the stage
of theater, and there seems to be lit
tie provision for the substantial enjoy
ment of their occupants. Everything
in them Is harmonious enough, per-
haps, except the people. In color and
composition they suggest a picture, but
the inmates OF the house are out of
place as the living figures in it. They
don't belong among such surroundings,
and they can't be comfortable amid all
this tasteful and splendid display. But
unques.ionsbly peoples houses are
looking better than they formerly did,
and more particularly those of people
of moderate means. For tie happiest
thing abOIt the modern decoration is
that its effects are produced rather by
colors than materials, and very mex
pensive fabrics Will serve the purpose.
Cotton stuffs, rs, for instance, cotton
flannel, will take the most delicate
dyes, and yield tinrs OF remarkable
beauty. And our own wall papers,
which are now in unexampled demand,
may be bought fora small price, and
yet be of patterns and colors which
will satisfy a critical artistic taste.

Changes In Diet.

Within the past decade oat meal in
Che form of pOrridge has become COM
mon article of food in our greatest cities,
and probably over a wide extent of
country, instead of being confined, as
formerly, to an exceedingly limited use
in the form of cruel for sick folks. The
good effect of this porridge diet cannot
fail to become apparent, especially in
the increase of physical vigor of the
rising generation. Let all who have not
yet made this breakfast dish give it a
fair trial with good sweet milk, or but
termilk, or maple sirup pure, but no
glucose. The coarser the grain of the
m aal the longer cooking it requires.
Speaking of buttermilk reminds us of
another great change. Ten years ago
buttermilk was not to be had in cities
for love or money. Now it is sold in
many places in New York and Brooklyn,
and probably in all other cities. 1t is
not yet nearly so common here as it is
in every city and village in Ireland and
Scotland, but it is coming more and
more into use, and when the whole milk
is churned and the buttermilk is sold
fresh, it is the best summer drink going.
1t is, however, a mistake to make it
very cold with ice. 1t is most refresh
ING without the ice, and much more
wholesome.
These two innovations we regard as
of vast value in an economic and sani-
'tary point of view.-M Y Witness.

in which the beauties and advantages

pretty hard for while, but after re-
ceiving innumerable "headerS," in

the imminent danger of pedestrians and
baby carriages. He moved so noise
lessly that spectators remarked he had
his rubbers on and nervous females
seemed possessed to step both ways at
once in endeavoring to avoid collisions.
1t was fun, and he felt as happy as a
bic sunhower until an unforeseen calami-
ty drove the smile of contentment from
his countenance never to return again.
In the distance Che was not near

young lady approaching who proved to
be very particular friend. lncreas-
inc his knee action, he rapidly lessened
the distance between them, until he
was ready to glide by without touching
the hem of her garment, when he at
tempted to dof his chapeau after the
most approved Broadway style. I'm
lucky bicyler! In his anxiety to do the
proper caper he forgot he would be
obliged to let 90 the handles with one
hand and the consequences were most
lamentable. The unreliable steed veered
to one side and collided violently with
shade tree. The hapless mortal per-
formed the double somerset act and
Was actually thrown so high and so
hare that his heel was driven into the
crotch of the tree, between limb and
the trunk, where he hung suspended in
midair while the machine looked like
figure 8 in the gutter. He did not hang
long in suspense, however, for as luck
would have it hiz boots were slightly
large for him, and the tree serving as a
boot-jack his own avoirdupOis soon
pulled the boot off and he fell to the

A Natural Ice-HOuse.

A remarkable ice gorge in Sussex
County. N. j., in the rear of Blue
Mountain, is attracting attention and is
much visited by the lovers of curious
sights. The ice gorge is several hun
dred yards in extent. ten to thirty feet
deep, with caves and cleftS in the rocks
where the ice lies. 1t is located very
short distance from the mountain. The
shade at the gorge is dense, the sun APP
parently never penetratingit. The bot
tom of the gorge is filled with ice and
the little caves and crevices are filed
with it. 1t is a natural ice-hOuSe; hum
dreds of tons might be taken out with
out appreciably decreasing the whole.
Much of it, no doubt, has lain there for
years, the mass gradually melting and
being added to each year. The ther
mometer which registered in the nine
lies in Newton, marked thirtv-eioht de-
greeS at the bottom OF this GORGE. too
cold for one to remain there any lenoth

The BOzley Mail.

"Now I wonder who this can be
FROM" said Mr.. Bozley, of Prospect
street, as he came back to the breakfast
table with letter which the postman
had just delivered.
"What's the postmarkP" querled
Mrs. Bozley.
"I-I can't quite make out whether
it. Chicago or Chautauqua," y" slowly re.
piled the head of the family as he held
the missive alternately close to his eyes
and afar off and wrinkled his brow in
his efforts to make out the hieroglyph-
les.
"Lemme see It," said Mrs. B., snatch
inc it out of his hands. "Why, it's no
more like Chicago than you're like
AdoniS It's-it'S-"
"WenP It's"
"Why, it looks like Kalamazoo when
you hold it this way" she went on,
with perceptible diminution of conf
dence, however; but when you turnit
round it-um-m-m-not exactly like
Milwaukee-but anyhow, 'taint Chlca-
o-nor-that other place."
Here Master George, aged ten,
deemed it incumbent on himself to say,
"Mebbe it's from Uncle Dan, and he's
oomin' to see us and bring that goat he
promised me-"
81 do wish, child, you'd stop calling
him Uncle Dan. Whatever possessed
ma to give my brother that name
can't imagine. But faint from your
Uncle Webster, child"
"No, faint from Dan, cause Cleve-
lands spelled with G, and he always
spells it with a r." remarks Mr.. B. in
confirmation, and is rewarded by a
whitening glance from his partner.
"Lemme look at it," says Miss Stella,
aged sixteen
And the mysterious envelope is passed
over to her.
"Lawn' she says, after critically ex-
amining it; "Pll bet it's from cousin
Philip. o, dear, hope it is and he's
coming to see us this summer-he's so
funny"
"My nephew never wrote such a
scrawl as that" said Mrs. B. somewhat
warmly; "it's more like some of your
fathers side"
Your fathers side, as you call en-"
retorted Mr.. B., flushing up, "know
how to spell any way; and what's more
we never had red hair in the family till
| cot married, and"
And Mrs. B. with a scream dropped
into chair and Mysteries and cut Oft
further debate.
When she finally consented to allow
them to bring her to, after all the ap-
proved remedies had been brought into
requisition, Mr.. B. proceeded to set at
rest all surmises regarding the epistle
by the novel method of opening and
reading it; and when it proved to be a
dunning letter from that odious Miss
Trivett, who does the family sewing, he
fiercely crumpled it up in his hand and
muttered something that sounded like
"Idiots!' and though Mrs. B. and the
children didn't know to a certainty who
were meant they had their suspicious.

BIDDY RED WING S NEST.

Twas little Biddy Red-Wing
That wanted new nest;
And, while she was about it,
She meant to have the best!
So Sunday morning, early
The churrh-dOOrS open wide,
Came pretty Bluuy Red Wing
And put her head inside;
Straight up the aisle she tip-toed,
And Iar from noisy iiOckS,
She ftly laid Il nest-egg in
The conrribution-boX!
At length the bells stopped ringing;
The preacher rose to pray;
When, up sprang B:ddy Red-Wing, too,
And cackled forth her lay!
"Cut-cutl cut-cut! cut dah-cut!"
Right out in meeting, 100,
Nor would her voice be silenced
- Till she had said it through.
She had done all fowl could do,
This noisy little hen.
TO help the cause. and earned her right
TO tell it there and them
And down the AISLE and to the door,
She proudly cacklcd. while
Ma deacon passed the box arosnd
To cover up the smile
And everybody something found
In pocket purse or vest,
To lay beside the nest-egg there,
! In Biddy Rcl-Wing's nest.
