Talking Across the Country.

1t is really pleasant to note as you
travel across the Republic from Maine
to Colorado, how the topic of converse
ton changes at State lines, just as the
expression of faces and styles of clothes
gradually undergo an alteration. Down
in Maine, when | got away from the
coasts, | heard lumber and L" the woods"
all the time. The men were in the
woods, or the man who talked to you
had Just come out of the woods. Then
you 60 to the coast, and everybody
fshed, and you dreamed of dorys, and
'hake, and haddock and things that vor
never heard of before. When rou g..
to Bath you begin to pick up all man
ner of shipcarpenters' slang. Then you
come nearer New York, and commercial
travellers filled the air with mercantile
argot, and as you held your way west
ward you get into the Oil regions of
Pennsylvania, and for awhile Bradford
and OIL City, Franklin and Titusville,
talked hull wheel and pipe lines, and
dry holes and heavy oils and refinery,
and tank and drill and rigs and
walking-beam and derrick and pump,
until you could taste oil every time you
talked. Then you moved along through
Johnstown and Pittsburg and heard
about blasts, and open-air furnaces, and
crucibles and Bessemer process and rails,
wire and ingot, until you left them be-
hind and Indiana was talking to vcu
about slaves and heads and. hoop-poles
and veneers and hard woods and qni-
nine and bent wood and wagon timber ;
and by and by Illinois got your ear and
said "c-o-r-n," and you got across the
Mississippi and out in Nebraska and
heard a man say to his neighbor, "Ben,
where is that timber claim of Johnsonsl'
and you heard Ben reply briefly, ''l2,
Is, g." and you knew that you were in
a country of land, and that eighties and
quarter sectious and timber claims and
homesteads and e.emptions were to
constitute your conversational pabulum
for the next two or three weeks, until
you reached Colorado and began to hear
assay, and dips, and leads, angles, spurs
and sinuosities, and claims, and carbon
ates, and that is as far west as | have
been, and / don't know what they talk
about there Hawkeye.

Deaf Mutes in High Life.

"Have you heard the story OF the
Spanish maid = is the way society peo-
pie open conversations at the Pacific
coast watering places this season. The
question refers to Mrs. Humphrey
Moore, wife of the deaf and dumb artist
Moore, who, with her husband, is now
living near San Francisco. Mrs. Moore
was born Isabella de Cistue, daughter Of
Col. Cistue, o. ~Saragossa, Spain. She
is a cousin by marriage of the ex-Queen
Isabella, and altogether of high rank.
When a little girl she became devotedly
attached to a deaf and dumb playmate,
and that she might onvers with her
friend, learned "the language of the fin
gers" Having grown to womanhood
Senorita de Cistue left the College of
Lore'to, in Madrid, for Granada, where
! her father has a winter residence. Her
coal black hair, lustrous black eyes and
| rich olive complexion o o won her rec
ognition as the beauty of the ancient
Moorish capitol, ard her refinement and

dumb artist Moore, who had been trav-
cling in Europe for several years, went
to Grenada to sketch some of the scenes
made so popular in America by Wash
ington Irving. One day, while Moore
was in the ALEXANDRIA, the senorita's robe
swept over his easel, and in attempting
to apologize the senorita's escort discov-
cred that the artist was mute. The SEN
orita became interested at once and
apologized in person, quickly recalling
the sign alphabet learned in her girl
hood. Moore fell desperately in love
with the senorita, and Ito keep a 500
page romance into the space usually al
lotted to TRUTH the senorita grew en-
au ored of Moore. They were married
in Granada, and after a tour of Spain
and the continent, sailed for San Fran

A Sure Mosquito Killer.

The Pyrethrum roseum, or PERSIAN
chamomile," is the powdered leaf OF a
harmless flower growing in Caucasian
Asia in great %profusion, where for cen
turies it has been used to rid the natives
of unwelcome guests from the insect
world. 1t can be purchased of almost
any reliable druggist at about seventy
cents per pound, already prepared for
use.
With a finely powdered dust made
from these flowers, the mosquito, tae
house fly, the wicked flea and the dis
glsting Cimex lectularius may be put to

sal to heap up in a little one one tea
spoonful of the powder, touch it with a
tighten match, and watch the thin blue
line of smoke as it rises to the ceiling
and is waited through the air, changing
the busy drone of insect life into a weak
wall Of insect woe. Pretty soon down
they come, plump on to the table and
over your paper, spin on their tiny backs,
and then sheath their %lancets, curl up
their hair-like legs, and are no more.
Smoke from the Persian chamomile
or its dusty powder, is most etiicacious,
but the purity of the drug must be as
sured. 1t must have e bright, buff
color, be light, readily burned, and give
a pleasant tea-like fragrance; one pinch

Insanity a Blessing.

A German physician grayely argues III
a published essay that insanity is a bless
ing instead Of a curse thet 1t generally
transfers its victims from a world of
trouble into an ideal sphere, where he is
Just what he wants TO be and where
everything is to his liking tbel %efore,
reasons the doctor aforesaid, 1t is not in
judicious but unkind to attempt to heal
persons OF unsound mind, because resto-
ration to reason means restoration to the
miseries Of life. The Herald comment
ing on this singular position, which it is
pleasant to believe If it can be believed,
says there is a great deal OF sense in this
idea. OF the ~lunatics who are confined
in the asylums the public does not know
much but certainly the fools who are
at large, and who by a hundred to one
outnumber those in confinement, are in
appearance the happiest people in the
world, while the sensible people-why.
who ever saw a profound @jurist, a model
preacher, or an infallible editor without
a long face And as for curing the lu-
natics who infest society, when did any
ever know the operation successfully
performed ? They were given up years
ago as hopeless cases. An authority
who is by millions of people believed to
be the wisest man that ever lived, wrote:
Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a
mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet
will not his foolishness departfrom him."
and modern science, assisted by all the
resources of profanity, clubs, boot toes
and fists, has not yet been able to prove
that Solomon was wrong. The grave is
the only place where these incurables
are successfully treated, and all that SEN
sible humanity can do is to wish the
fools an early aud happy entry thereto

buffer rings of railway carriages are
heated in presence Of steam; the sulphur
distils off, the caoutchouc melts and
flows in hot water, collecting at the bot
tom of the material. The melted caout-

AZURE, o o dries in dir, and retains it's
property of being water-tight. On the
other hand, it parts with its elasticity,
at least for large pieces. lIeyer used
this liquid ca%outchouc chiefly for making
~water-ight coverings for roads and rail
way carriages, awnings for ships, etc. 1t
is recommended also as a water-tight
varnish for iron wares.
