Picturesque Scenes in Buenos Ayres.

The fine effects in color here strike
visitor at once. The boatmen who
come in pretty sailboats to take you off
the ships are earelessly dressed with
gay shirts and caps. each somehow hit
ting the right color for his complexion.
He takes you, part way and transfers
you to a bronzed fellow in a rowboat,
who rows or paddles standing up, fac
ing the bow, and throwing his whole
body on the oar. He leaves you at tho
central pier, about twice the length of
the Coney island iron pier, and "a very
pretty structure. There the customs
officers, gentlemanly fellows, examine
your baggage. Ills great thing to be
an officer here. They are all uniformed
and carry short swords, which the
police used instead of clubs. A Gus
toms inspector has an eight-oared barge
at command, with trained and uni
formed crew. The captain-general also
has his seamen, uniformed in blue and
white-striped shirts, navy-blue trousers
and jackets, and white duck sailor caps
with gold letters aud black bands on
them. 1t is a pretty city, reminding
one of Egyptian, Moorish, and Spanish
street scenes. The first strange thing
one notices is the plaza or park along
the whole water front. Pretty, quiet
walks run along under strange palms
and pines. and past flower beds. foun-
tains, and statuary. One walk leads
along the balustraded seawall where
one can look down on the dark washer
women, mostly Italians, and many of
them beautiful, in variegated dresses,
barefooted and barearmed, washing
the citv's soiled linen at low tide. There
they sit on the mud banks, and slap,
and pound, and rinse away in the dirty
water. One wonders how they can ex-
pect to cleanse anything, but they do,
and hang out the garments over acres
of the low. moss-covered flat. You
would hardly believe that vessels are
unloaded by carts here. Immense two
wheeled trucks, drawn By mules or
horses hitched tandem. are driven out
to tue lighters in the water, and, though
the waves come to the horses necks.
they carry their loads high and dry to
the shore. Some vessels, too, get
stranded q quarter of mile away from
shore. while others are discharged at
the central pier. where there are rail-
road tracks and small locomotives TO
land the merchandise. The buildings
are mostly of soft brick, plastered over.
and generally of quiet buff color.
The sidewalks and streets are narrow.
and there are no trees in the streets
At distance, however, the trees OF the
DoliOs, rising above the roofs, make the
eitv look well indeed. The sidewalks
run under lofty vaulted arcades, max
ing them very cool in summer. Cor.

The Great American Desert,

Twenty years ago this was the terror
of the overland emigrant. 1t was inn
possible to go around it, for it extend
ed from the Colorado to the cascades.
All the routes that led to the land OF
promise crossed it, and it was soon COW
cred with the bleaching bones of stock
and dotted with human graves. 1t is
about forty miles from the lower end
of the Humboldt Sink to the Truckee
River at Wadsworth, and the name
Forty Mile Desert" given the stretch
has become known the world over
There is no water fit to drink on the
whole distance. The road lies through
a sandy sage brush plain, extending
several miles west of the lake, where it
strikes an alkali desert. in the centre
of which the railroad has a station that
it appropriately calls s'White' Plains.
This is the lowest point east of the
mountains. Eight miles further is
Mirage Station, which might serve as
a memorial to the unfortunates who
have been betrayed from their proper
course by the picture of running water,
waving trees and fields that existed on
" in the deceptive air. Near the mid
die of the journey is a boiling hot
spring at the foot of the mountain, and
B. T. Leete and the Bonanza mines
put up and ship large quantities to
market. The deposit has killed all
vegetation for long distance around,
leaving the flat old lake bel as bare as
q floor. Between there and Wadsworth
there are some very odd formations.
The body of the country seems to be a
light yellow substance. probably diato-
NOUS, over which lie high ridges of
brown hills. The level places are
strewn with heavy rocks of all sizes. as
black as coal. There is no timber any,
where in sight and even the sage brush
is of inferior size. On either side are
the ever monotonous brown mountains,
carved and grooved by centuries OF
wear and frost into fringes OF stony
lace The railroad has made frequent
attempts to get water for Its engines,
but without success. They bored 1, 800
feet at Hot Springs, but got only
brackish mixture of liquid alkali. They
haul water in tank cars for their Sec
ton men between Lovelock's and
Wadsworth,s, and the engines make
the run with one thankful, distance OF
sixty-one miles. They formerly car
ried an extra car behind the engine
with two wooden tanks to draw from,
but new engines have been, built with
tanks that hold $500 gallons. They
frequently run seventy-fve miles with
out stopping, and Nick Cole made
100 mile run once. 1t is very pleasant
: comparison for the rich .'forty-niner,
who rides in palace car over the
ground where he walked along with
sore and tired feet, urging his oxen out
of the thirsty desert, half lifetime
ago.-Rea0 Gazette.

The Efhgy Mounds of Wisconsin.

The mounds of Wisconsin afford to
the scientific world one of the most
unique subjects of study, and there is
nothing like them in the United States,
or, so far as known, in the world. They
are called, from their shapes and re-
semblance to certain animals, emblem
attic of effigy mounds. The object of
erecting them has been hitherto I'M
known, and hence their significance
has been hidden. There are, however.
certain facts now known in reference
to the native tribe, which promises to
furnish the elew to their mounding. 1t
is probable that complete system of
ethnology will yet be drawn out from
these mounds and other data, which
shall solve some of the many problems
in reference to the origin of society, the
rise of religion, and other subjects.
These subjects are becoming very i'm
portant Aside from them, however,
the mounds os Wisconsin also have
long engaged the attention of the
scholars of this country and of Europe.
We are happy to learn that the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington is
about to undertake the work of resur-
veying these works, and that q mono
gram is now being prepared by the
Rev. S. D. Peet, of Clinton, Wis, who,
as the editor of the american Ant5-
Qu011aa, is well known.-Madison

The fame of Boston baked beans has
spread far and wide, but it was not I'M
til within few years that the world at
large had an opportunity to judge for
itself regarding the merits of the ar
ricle. Since baked beans have received
the attention of Gamers, Boston's fav-
orite dish has acquired fresh popular
ity. The suggestion that baked beans
could be canned to advantage came
from Colorado dealer in that line of
goods, who. in conversation with
canned goods manufacturer in this city
in the spring of 1877 hazarded the
opinion that this food product would
meet with ready sale in the West. The
manufacturer was favorably impressed
with the idea and an order for twenty
cases was placed then and there. 1t
matters not that circumstances prevent
ed Colorado from becoming the first
bean-eating state outside of New Eng
land; the credit for the suggestion still
belongs to the ''far west. The Boston
firm above referred to sent sample pack
ages of canned goods to Messrs. FL. K.
& F. B. Thurber, of New York, who
pronounced them ''just the thing"
Chicago also took kindly to the new
food product, and the business soon
grew to large proportions. Although
there are several concerns in this city
engaged in canning baked beans, one
firm practically monopolize the bust
ness; and in making a statement of
their operations, the rapid growth of
the industry is well indicated. In 1877.
the first year they began the business,
the sales of canned baked beans were
confined almost exclusively to the east
ern states, and about 200, 900 cans were
marketed. In 1879 the trade had ex-
tended all over the country, and some
375, 900 cans were Opposed of. In 1880
Europe and Australia had become pur-
chasers and the sales amounted to 900,
900 cans, while the present year the
firm proposes to pack and ship away
800, 900 cans. South America is just
taking hold of the article, and the de-
mand from this source viii swell this
years trade very considerably. After
a repeated experiment it is believed
that the height of perfection has been
reached, and that canned baked beans
are identical with the dish which for so
MANY wears has been one of Boston's
institutions. They are baked in steam
retorts, and are so prepared as to make
the quality uniform. Packed in three
pound cans, containing two and three
quarters pounds of beans and one-quar-
ter of pound of pork, they may be
shipped to any part of the globe. Their
introduction into Europe and Australia
under the name of E'beans and bacon"
the homely title pork and beans" not
being attractive to the fastidious for
eigner. When it is remembered that
in the centennial year canned baked
beans were an unheard-of luxury, the
fact that the world will consume at
least 4, 500, 900 pounds of the product
this year may be accepted as a proof
that there is something new under the

The use of the epithet yellow" as
applied to the Russians is common TO
all the nations Of Western and Centr al
Asia. Mussulnlan writer's designate
the Russians by the title of ssBeni al
Asfar." .tSons of Yellowness." Byron
had no doubt heard this epithet used by
the Turks when he wrote the lines in
.'Childe Harold
Ozark Muchiar, his son. to the Danube has
Let the yellow-hafred Giaurs view his horse
tails with dreadl'
The appellation appears to be one of
very long standing, too. for the Persian
poet Miami, who wrote in the thir-
teenth century of our era, speaks of
s'Saudai Hind Safrai Rus ("The
blaekness of India and the yellowness
of Russia'') Orientals always speak of
the Western European nations by the
general appellation of .tFarangs," or
Franks, but they do not include the
Russians among the Farangis. They
call them Roos. which the illiterate
have corrupted into Ocroos; the Os-
manlis also call them s.Muskoob, !"
''Muscovite;" but have never heard
this word used by any other Easterns.
The English are reckoned as Ferangi
nation. Of course, Oriental ideas on
the subject of geography and ethnol-
ogy are very vague. The writers speak
of ''the seven infidel kingdoms of the
Farang," which has been supposed by
some to indicate the seven Electors of
the old German Empire, but is proba-
bly, a mere general expression, like 9TH
ers in use among them, such as the sew
en- heavens, the seven seas, the seven
chimes, etc. The epithet s'kara' (blaek)
is a very common one among all the
Turkish speaking races, and is gener-
ally used in flattering sense-an olive
complexion, with raven hair, being the
favorite Turkish type of beauty. Hence
remarkable handsome men are often
called Kara Osman, "s'Kara Mustafa, :"
Black Osman or Mustafa. I have new
81 heard the epithet applied to Euro
peans; but the Turcomans have prob
ably adopted it with reference to the
English simply as an antithesis to the
yellowness of the Russians.-C09.L Lon

How to Use 0il-Stones,

Instead of oil, which thickens and

glycerine and alcohol is used by many.
Tie proportions of the mixture vary

upon. An article of large surface, a

a limpid liquid, as three parts Of glyc-

is also the pressure exercised upon the
