Geneva and Its Watches.

Geneva, like other cities, has its,
specialties, and it's first and greatest is
its manufacture of watches. The Geneva
watch has attained q worldwide celeb
rity, and though probably no better
than those of American manufacture,
they are wonderfully fascinating, and it
is difficult to withstand the attractions
of their show windows. Their exhibi-
ton of ladies' watches is especially fine,
and their prices vary from $40 to as high
as you care to go, and you are sure to
get good article if you pay for one.
Another speciality is music boxes, of
which large quantities are sold every
year. There are several establishments
here which deal i'll them exclusively,
and they put them up in . all sorts Of
shapes. There are musical chairs, which
surprise you by playing q tune when
you sit down on them, musical foot
stools, goblets and trinkets of various
kinds, ranging in price from S. to
$4,000, and even higher. Geneva has
almost monopoly Of these establish
ments, for, save one at Berne, l have
not noticed any elsewhere. -European

DiCOFce DEGREES.

Two DEGREES for divorce were issued yester
day by Judge Vapderburgh at the special
term of court.
The first case was that of bertha Bagley,
who filed petition for divorce from her hus-
band, Thomas Bagley. Bertha states in her
complaint that she was married to Thomas on
May 1st, 1879, and lived with him until No
vember IS, 1880. That during the time
Thomas frequently abused and struck her.
That because she would not engage herself
with variety theater troupe with which he
was connected her husband called her vile and
obscene names and treated her in a cruel and
inhuman manner. She therefore prayed that
the court would grant her a divorce, allowing
her to resume her maiden name, Bertha Cos
tan, and she be allowed the care and custody
Of her infant child, now five months old. All
of which prayer the court granted.
The second one was that of Georganna Dnt-
ton, who alleged in her complaint that she
was 26 years Of age, and her husband, Albert
C. Dutton, 81. That they were married on
September ID, 1869, (Which, if true, shows that
she was, either married very young or did moi
care to give her age away and lived happily
together until August s, 1877, at which time
Albert skipped, and ever since has refused to
support or protect her or their two children,
aged respectively and years. The court is
sued decree on the ground of desertion, and
gave Georganna the care and custody of tho
children

Preserving the Balance.

Old Capt. Stanley, who lives down in
the middle of Kentucky, was good old
Hardshel Baptist, who would occasion
ally tell story at the expense of some
of the brethren. Many years ago they
were not SO conspicuously orthodox on
the temperance question as they are in
our time. "On one OCCASION" said the
Captain, "the brethren down in my
region were about to have a grand
church gathering, and all the faithful in
the neighborhood were expected to ex-
ert themselves to entertain suitably and
Hospitality the visiting brethren. Two
of my neighbors met each other just
before the grand gathering, one of whom
said:
"'What are you going to do?'
"'Wel, replied the man, I've laid in
a gallon of first-rate whisky
"'A gallon retorted his neighbor,
with look of contempt; why, I've got
barrel; and you are just as able to sup
port the Gospel as am
In those days you could always tell a
Hardshell by looking at him from be-
hind; one of the skirts of his coat would
hang lower than the other-the one in
which he carried his bottle. But the
Captain said there was one old brother
down there whose denominational views
couldn't be ascertained in that way; his
skirts hung even-a bottle in each peck

A Mistaken Idea.

It is a mistake to fancy education is
thrown away upon woman whose mis-
sion in life is to be housewife. So far
as my observation goes-and I have kept
my eyes open for several years. have
found that those women who have had
the benefit of thorough education are
the best housekeepers. A woman who
has been taught accuracy by course in
chemistry, who has had her eyes en-
lightened by the study and practice Of
painting, who has learned the necessity
of precision by long hours at the piano,
will make her house the richer and the
better ordered for this training. Ii she
brings to her work the right spirit she
is certain to find use for ali that she
has ever learned, beside having the aid
which her habits of order and persever-
ance will constantly give her. The COM
ing housekeeper ought to be happy as
well as privileged woman.

Branding Men.

The branding Of army mules and
horses has been recognized practice in
most countries for years past, but it re-
manned for an Engishman to propose
that soldiers should be treated in the
same way. Desertion in the British
army is carried On to an excess unknown
in other countries, and to guard against
the evil, and to make the recovery of a
fugitive more certain, somebody has
submitted to the war Office little instru-
ment which, on the touching Of a spring,
will instantaneously and indeibl ytattoo
small crown On a mans wrist. Tat.
tooing is not exactly branding. in so far
as the mechanical operation is concerned,
but it is exactly the same in its results
it leaves mark for life, and it seems
scarcely possible that any large number
of human beings will voluntarily submit
to it, unless the work is q peculiarly
honorable one, which the Queens SER
vice at this time certainly is not reputed
to be among Englishmen generally

TOILET RECIPES.

Hair INvIGORATOR.- "A wash to stlmu-
late the growth of hair in case OF bald
ness is made from equal parts OF the
tincture Of sulphate of quinine five
grains in an ounce Of alcohol For those
who will use hair oil, pure sperm oil OF
the very finest quality, is the best. This
must be procured in proper freshness
and cannot fail being powerful hair In
vigorator.
To REMOVE WRINKLEs.- pieces OF
court-plaster on the face where the
wrinkles are inclined to come, just be-
fore going to bed, and remove in the
morning. The plaster contracts the
skin and prevents it's sinking into
creases and lines. It also protects and
softens the skin. Warm water should
always be used to wash the face in, as it
keeps off wrinkles.
HARMLESS FACE Powders. pow
der, though expensive, is warranted per-
fectly harmless. Refined chalk is the
safest thing to use, and costs far less
than If put up under some other name and
sold in boxes. Cascarilla powder is
much used by Cuban ladies, and is con-
sidered harmless. Wash the face with
thick suds from glycerine soap, and,
when dry, dust on the powder with a
puff or piece Of chamois skin.
To SrRENdrHEN THE .HA1R.-A solu-
ton of burdock tea will strengthen the
hair as will also sage tea. The follow
ing is also highly recommended One
pound of yellow dock root, boiled in five
pints of water till reduced to one pint
strain and add an ounce Of pulverized
borax, half an ounce of coarse salt, three
ounces of sweet oil and pint OF New
England rum quarter of an ounce of
oil Of lavender and ten grains Of amber
girls will perfume this nicely. Use the
burdock tea two or three times day at
first after while once a day will be
sufficient. Shampooing the head once a
day with cold water will also have
beneficial effect.
HAIR REsroRAr1vE.-A powerful re-
storative for the hair is half an ounce of
oil of mace in pint of deodorized alco-
hol. Pour spoonful or two into sau-
Ger; dip small stiff brush into it, and
brush the hair smartly, rubbing the
tincture we'll into the roots. On bald
spots, if hair will start at all, it may be
stimulated by friction with piece of
flannel till the skin looks red and rub
bling the tincture into the scalp. This
process must be repeated three times "a
day for weeks. When the hair begins to
grow apply the tincture once day till
the growth is well established, bathing
the head in cold. water every morning
and briskly brushing it to bring the
blood to the surface.

How Cattle Are Shipped to England.

Cattle are taken on and under deck in
stalls measuring two feet eight inches
on vessels sailing from New York, and
two feet six inches on those from all
other ports of the United States. These
stalls are built under the supervision of
an Insurance Inspector. During the
summer shippers prefer to ship on deck,
as the cattle get more air and come out
fresher at the end of the voyage. On
deck the steamships carry between $50
and 175 animals, the under deck about
225 head. Drinking water is condensed
by steam process on board for their use,
the ocean itself providing never-failing
source of supply. The cattle are gen.
orally put on the steamer in the stream,
after it has left the dock, an old ferry
boat usually being used for the purpose.
The number of cattle to be taken is
regulated by the Insurance Inspectors,
and cattle exporters must pay the en-
tire freight, according to his report,
even if they do not ship the entire num-
Der.
Sheep and pigs are slowed away in
stalls on deck where there is not enough
room for the cattle. Sometimes in the
early spring when the sea is liable to
disturbances, some Of the cattle get
overheard, and then very lively time
ensues in getting them out. The cattle
are hoisted on board usually and lowered,
two at a time, by a winch, into the hold.
The allowance of water is from six to
ten gallons day to each bullock. The
amount of fodder averages one ton to
each animal. The rates of insurance
apparently vary. Some shippers give
it at per cent. in summer to 10 per
cent. in winter. There is more risk to
the cattle from perils of the sea in che
latter season, as heavy storm ! lay
make it necessary to tighten the ship by
throwing the entire deckload of cattle
overheard. The carrying capacity Of
the vessels, of course, varies but the
average, as given, by an old shipper,
may be put safely at 200 head at ship
ment taking large and small vessels into
account. On some Of the large steam
ers the number has reached 500, and one
Boston steamer has carried as many as
81 head. The largest shipment from
New York by one steamer was $50 head.

A Thrilling Sketch.

One warm day in August, upon the
bank of the muddy Colorado, we chill
dren were lazily sitting about on the
ground. One sister was stringing beads
taken from an old moccasin, and most
Of the men we're sleeping under the
wagons through the heat of the after
noon. There was great stiffness upon
everything, save for the children's chat
ter, and heat rose from the ground
that smote the eyes. Suddenly there
was dreadful scream, echoed, re-
echoed, multiplied then another, and
another, as when one strikes the hand
upon the mouth, till in one second Of
time the air seemed rent and torn with
yells. In just that second the close
chapparal had become black with Indi-
ans, who had crawled, serpent-like, on
hands and knees, till, right upon us, in
concert they could leap into sight. They
wore cloths upon their loins, and had
some feathers wound In their hair, with
hideous paint glowing on face and
breast. 1 gazed in dumb amazement,
benumbed with surprise, and then [
think I awoke to the excitement Of the
occasion. The women and children,
through an air thick with flying arrows,
were marshaled into one covered wagon,
and there my mother wrapped us all
round with feather beds, blankets and
comforters. do not think was fright
ened, not because of any precocity of
courage, but because of wild excite
ment that filed me. I half leaned upon
the knee OF my sister. She said she was
conscious Of no pain, she felt no sudden
pang, but something warm seemed
running down her side, and, looking
down, she saw an arrow which had
pierced her flesh and protruded its iinty
head from the wound. Mother" she
exclaimed, 81 am shot," and tainted.
My mother, the woman whose spirit
never failed her in this or the dreadful
trials which succeeded this disastrous
fight, put forth her hand and drew the
arrow backward through the wound. 1t
was while thus supporting the head Of
the girl she supposed dying, it somehow
became known to her that her husband
was lying quite dead and filed with ar
rows under the great cottonwood tree
under which the camp was made. It was
but few moments more till one of the
men spoke from the front of the wagon.
Saidhe: "Our ammunition is giving out
and we do not know but it may come to
a hand-to-hand fight. Get out the knives
you have in the bed Of the wagon. +"
Through the backward march which fol-
lowed it was ever the women who rose
superior to suffering and to danger. The
men lost courage, hope and spirit, but
the women never. A few moments after
the demand for the knives, a Methodist
preacher, who had seized my fathers
rifle, aimed at the chief with the dinner
bell depending from his belt, and saw
him fall. In five minutes not an Indian
was to be seen, the living dragging with
them the dead as they went. In the mean
time, under cover OF the fight, our great
herd of cattle had been made TO swim
the river, and were safely corraled in the
Moiave villages. Kate Heath, IN Janu
