Hungarians and Roumanians.

The Hungarlans, all who have traV-
in their own fashion. They delight in
clean shirts, richly embroidered in red
and black; in cotton drawers or trou-
sers, edged with lace and crochet
work, such as English ladies affect
upon their clothes, and IN magnificent
Hessian boots, which are brushed to
brightness at least once a week. The
male Roumanlan. on the other hand,
is dirty and careless IN his attire. A
filthy sheepskin jacket, swarming with
aooe &c IT. -1-:Or SUI Iu0IIU3 SuUrJ JrOu-
sers, of leather or the coarsest cloth,
and the everlasting conieal cap, to-
gether with some minor articles, among
which the pistol or knife, stuck in the
waist band, must not be forgotten, COM
pleting his attire. But when we turn
from the men to the women we find
that the comparison is reversed. Moth
ing can well be more wretched than
the dress Of the Hungarian women on
the banks OF the Danube. At Mohacs,
for example, one saw them marching
down to the banks of the river to get
water, clad in pair of their husbands
enormous boots, short petticoat,
scarcely reaching to their knees, and
sheepskin Jacket that also was evil
IDENTIFY the property of their better half.
In Hungary, in short, while the man is
well dressed, his wife or daughter Is
clad like a savage. In Roumania, on
the other hand, the dress of the women
is decidedly better than that of the
men, and offers most favorable con-
to that worn by their Hungarian
sisters.

Unworthy of Public Confidence.

Mark Twain says I've left the train
for Switzerland, and reached Lucerne
about ten o'clock at night. The first
discovery l made was that the beauty
of the Lake had not been exaggerated.
Within a day or two | made another
discovery. This was that the lauded
chamois is not wild goat; that it is
not horned animal; that it is not shy
and that there is no peril in hunting it.
The chamois is black or brown crea-
ture, no bigger than mustard seed.
You do not have to go after it; it comes
after you. 1t arrives IN vast herds, and
skips and scampers all over your body,
inside your clothes. Thus it is not shy,
but extremely soclable. 1t is not afraid
of man; on the contrary it will attack
him. Its bite is not dangerous, but
neither is 1t pleasant. Its activity has
not been over stated. If you try to put
your finger on 1t, it will skip thou
sand times its own length at one jump,
and no eye is sharp enough to see
where it lights. \ great deal of ro-
mantle nonsense has been written about
Swiss chamois and the perils of hunt
ing it, whereas the truth is that even
women and children hunt it, fearleSSly.
Indeed, everybody hunts it. The hunt
ing is going OF all the time, day and
night, in bed aud out OF il. 1t is poetic
foolishness TO hunt it with gun. Very
few people do that. There is not one
man in million who can hit it with a
gun, 1t is much easier to catch it than
it Is to shoot it, AMI only the expe-
rienced chamois hunter can do either.
Another common piece of exaggeration
is that aooUt the scarcity of the cha
mois. 1t is the reverse of scarce. Droves
of l0O, ,09O 900 chamois aro not unusual
in the Swiss hotels. Indeed they are so
numerous as to be a great pest. The
romancers always dress up the chamois
hunter in fanciful and picturesque cos
tune, whereas the best way TO hunt
InlS game Is 10 uO IL hAlhOuG any SO7
tune at all. The article of commerce
called ehamois skin is another fraud.
Nobody could skin a chamois. 1t Is too
small. The creature is humbug in
every way, and every thing which has
been written about It is sentimental
exaggeration. 1t was no pleasure TO
me to find the chamois out, for he had
been one of my pet illusions. All my
life it had been my dream TO see him In
his native wilds some day, and engage
in the adventurous sport OF chasing
him from cliff to cliff. 1t is nopleasure
TO me to expose him now, and destroy
the readers delight in him and respect
for him, but still it must be done, Tor
when an honest writer discovers an
imposition it is his simple duty to strip
il bare and hurl it down from its place
of honor, no natter who suffers by It,.
Any other course would render him
unworthy of the public confidence.

4 method Of saponifying petroleum
oils has been practiced tor some time
with good results, as represented in q
London paper. Stearic acid is the fat

of the fatty acid TO 100 of petroleum
Alter thorough intermixture has been
effected by stirring, the combination
may be saponlfied in the usual way. II
is recommended, however. that animal
or vegetable fatty matter may be added
before saponitication, so as TO secure al
improved product-the proportions il
this case being two OF acidifled petrole'
um to three of fat. Either soda or pot
ash may be used in saponitying, the
hardness or softness depending on the
kind and proportions of alkali used.

The Greatest I'm the World.

Without a question Buffalo, N. Y,
can boast of the largest and most COM
plete private Sanitarium in the world.
The Invaiids' Hotel was founded by DR..
r. V. Pierce, who was represented his
district as State Senator and in Con-
gress, and is known throughout the
United States as the originator of DR..
PIerce's Family Medicines, and has
also become widely celebrated in the
treatment of chronic diseases. The
erection of this mammoth home for
invalids was made necessary by the
large number of afflicted who flOcked
to Buffalo from all parts of the United
States to consult DR.. Pierce and the
eminent medical gentlemen associated
with him as the faculty of this celebra-
ted institution. The establishment is
said TO have cost nearly half million
of dollars, and is furnished with every
appliance and facility for the care of
chronic ailments. A correspondingly
large branch institution is located in
London, England. The whole con-
Germ is owned and operated by the
Worlds Medical Association, of which
the original DR.. Pierce is President
MS brother, an uncle, and other emf
nent medical gentlemen taking part in
the treatment of cases. In Urea ting
cases they are not at all confined to the
narrow limits of prescribing the justly
celebrated remedies, DR.. Pierce's Gold

gative Pellets, or any other set
remedies, however good, but resort to
the whole range of the MateriG MedtcG,

I'd remedies and methods of cure.

4 Philadelphia inventor has taken a
step forward In the warfare against
sewer gas which promises TO be valu-
able. He has added a mercury seal to
the ordinary water trap connected with
drain pipes of all kinds. The outlet
pipe has a trough around it charged
with quicksilver. A cap fits snugly
over the pipe, and is surrounded by
flanges which dip into the mercury, and
thus form tight seal. The cap is so
attached TO the water closet or basin
that, by lifting the lid, it is drawn into
a side chamber and allows free egress
Of the contents. By the same movement
of shutting down the lid the cap is re-
placed over the outlet pipe, and its
flange submerged in the mercury, while
below the mercury seal the ordinary
water trap is placed, having an outlet
for the ventilatlng pipe, which can be
carried TO the chimney flue or roof, as
convenient. Thus a double door is
raised against the admission of deleteri-
Gus gases into the building.

DOMESTIC.

A VALUABLE GLUE.-HousehOld
anu others VIII be glad to hear of a
very permanent glue-a chrome glue,
which is made by an admixture with
common glue of one part of acid chro-
mate of lime in solution TO five parts
of gelatIne. The glue made in this
manner, after exposure, Is insoluble in
water, and can be used for mending
glass objects likely to be exposed to hot
water. 1t can also be made available
for waterprooting articles such as sail
or awnings, bat for flexible fabrics 1t Is
not suitable. A few dimensions will
be found sufficient to render the article
imperviOus to wet. It is necessary that
fractured objects should be exposed to
the light after being mended, and then
warm water will have no effect on them,
the chrOmate of lime being better than
the more generally used chromate of
potash.

Cows UNDER THE NEATHER.-Cows
are very sensitive 10 the influence OF
the weather. In bright clear days
their vital forces are more active and
vigorous, digestion is more rapid, and
assimilation and waste are more active
and secretions which, like butter, de-
pend upon the destruction OF tissue,
are more abundant. Lassitude is favor
able TO transudatiOn, because it relaXes
the delicate membranes and makes the
passage of liquids easier, and con-
sequently more abundant. Thus, while
the 1ats in milk diminish, the albumi-
noidS increase in muggy weather; and
yet a given weight OF milk makes less
cheese than in fair weather. This loss
in cheese is owing TO the fact that as
the albumen of the blood passes over
into the milk vessels, the major part of
1t is converted into caseine, which is
coagulable by rennet, while albumen
Is not. This change from albumen TO
caseine is effected by the vital forces,
and is more or less complete as they
vary in strength. The greater energy
OF bright days increases the per cent of
caseine, and makes that OF albumen
less. In muggy weather this is rever-
sed. These changes often amount to
enough to make five per cent. differ
ence in the yield of cheese in favor of
good weather, while the total of album
uo1ds, as shown by analysis, is the
greater in the muggy days. From the
decrease in tat and the increase of al
buminOids, which are heavier than fat,
the milk of the muggy days shows the
greater specific gravity, and yields a
less per cent of butter.

THE discovery Of fCARBoLINE a deOdor-
lied extract Of petroleum, has perfected
an improvement which will be hailed
with delight by thousands. The dense
oily properties of the petroleum have
been eliminated by a novel process
while its tonic, curative, ,vivifying and
reproductive elements and all retained
in increased activity. Besides being
the only real cure for badness and
scalp diseases, as now improved and
entirely deodorized it is the most deli
cate and delightful tonic hair dressing
ever known. 1t will not stain a lady's
hat. This highly concentrated extract
Of petroleum contains no minerals or
other artificial coloring matter. 1t
restores the hair by imparting new life
and Vigor to the roots.

Grizzly Dan

Grizzly Dan, OF Montana was never
known to steal anything when sober,
but he says: "When Pm drunk, any
thing l get these five fingers on is mine,
and don't you forget il." AS an In
dian fighter, when under the controll-
ing influence of drink, he is also holy
terror in Montana. He was once set
upon by a whole tribe of bowling
red devils, and was obliged to run for
his life. He headed for the brink of a
cliff about 700 feet high, lodging the
bullets fired at him as he ran, being
able through long practice to tell the
course OF ball by the sound as it ap-
preached from the rear. Grizzly Dan
unhesitatingly leaped over the cliff, to
the amazement of the Indians, who
gathered in row to watch his fall. Dan
turned in the air as he was falling,
raised his Winchester rifle TO his shoul-
der, and pulled the trigger. An In
dian toppled over with ball through
his left eye, and Dan kept pulling the
level and trigger until seventeen of the
red devils had balls through their left
eyes and were falling over the cliff
after him. The eighteenth shot only
carried away an Indians nose, as the
air was so full of falling Indians be-
tween Dan and the top of the cliff that
his aim was little confused. He struck
feet first in the river below and swan
ashore unipjured. The Indian re-
naming on the top Of the cliff was the
sole survivor of the tribe, and was ever
afterward known as ''Man-with-a-hole-
in-his-nOge."

The neU marine railway at Clifton, 5.
L., was operated for the first time last
week. A large brig was hOisted high
and dry with success. The railway
consists of great car, which somewhat
resembles one of the East River dry
docks, except that it stands ON wheels.
To this car are attached about five hun
dred feet of heavy chain. The car,
when placed in the water, is partly
sunk, TO permit ship to float into it ;
then the car is raised and drawn with
the ship up on the beach by steam pow
er, the car chains being attached TO an
engine stationed about five hundred
feet distant on the shore. 1t cost many
thousands OF dollars to construct the
railway.

FARM AND GARDEN.

SMALL CIDER MILLS. In early times
in this country all the cider-and much
cider was then used-was made In large
mills. owned by individuals or firms,
who operated them in the same manner
that grist mills were managed. Every
farmer brought his apples to the mill,
had them ground and pressed, and re-
ceiyed the cider that was produced.
He paid so much per barrel for having
his cider made. If he did not pay cash
the "miller" took his toll In cider or
apples. The mills were of large capa
city, so that a thousand bushels of APP
Piles could be worked up in day. AS
a rule, a farmer could take his apes
to mill, six or eight miles from his
place, have them ground and pressed,
and return home with his cider at
night. There was no greater loss of
time than in taking lot of corn or
wheat TO Il grist mill. During the past
few years a large number of small mills
for grinding apples and presses for
squeezing the juice from them have
been sold. Farmers who made not
more than ten barrels OF cider per year
bought them. These small mills are
costly, liable to get out of order, not
easy 10 manage by persons unacquain-
ted with their use, and certain TO be
ruined in few years If they are not
kept under cover. Old Cider-makers
declare that these small mills and pres
ses are expensive TO run, even If tn Y
are obtained tor nothing. They state
that only about three-Iourths of the
juice contained in the apples can be OBJ
Gained by their use, and that what is
obtained is of very inferior quality.
The juice which Is obtained by slight
pressure is almost entirely water, while
that which is rich remains in the pulp
unless very heavy pressure Is en-
ployed. ltwould seem TO be very poor
economy 10 Invest in Il mill and press II
one has but Il small amount of apples
to work up. The interesUOn the money
they cost would pay for taking the ap-
piles TO mill and having the cider
manufactured. One large cider mill IL
sufficient TO work up all the apples
raised in town, and it could do the
work more economically than it could
be done in u large number OF small
concerns. If several farmers can not
unite In erecting suitable mile TO be
operated on the cooperative plan IL
would be better to pledge their patron
age to some person who would erect
and equip a good building. Expert
ence and skill are required for making
cider, and these are not likely TO be ac-
uuired by persons who make out few
Uarrels of cider each year by the use OF
s poor apparatus.
