Complaining of tho misery of long
journey the other day to friend, without
any foot-warmcrs in the carriage, and the
consequent pain of cold feet, she told nc
that she had a practical lesson given tc her
by well known correspondent on that very
matter. They were making long journey
together in bitter weather and could got no
hot-water tins put into their carriage. lie
at once told her not to regret the deficiency
for his newspaper would more than COM

and, tearing his paper in half, wrapped
each foot carefully up IN the paper. In a
few minutes circulation seemed to return
to her bcnumbcd feet. and she assured me
she arrived at the end Of he, Journey in
perfect comfort, and with warm feet. Such
lesson was not TO be lost. and my friend
tod me that she had rcsortcd to the same
experiment several tirlcs with like results.

possibly, and prevent free circulation OF

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

foreign paper says That cheese Is made
from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony.
After having collected Il quantity of potat.
ocs of good quality, giving the preference
to large white kind, they arc boiled IN a
caldron and after becoming cool they arc
reduced to a pulp, either by means of a
crater or mortar. To five pounds of this
pulp, which ought to be IS equal as
possible, is added ono pound of sour milk
and the necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together and the mixture
covered, up and, allowed to lie fol. three or
four days, according to the season. At
the end of this time it is kneadcd anew,
and the cheescs are placed in little baskets,
when the siiper1uous moisture escapes.
They arc then allowed to dry in the shade,
and placed in layers In large vessels, where
they must remain for fifteen days. The
oldest these chetses are the more their
quality improves. Three kinds are
made. The first and most common is
made as detailed above; the second, with
four parts OF potatoes and two parts of
curdcd milk; the third with two parts of
potatoes and four parts Of cow or eve
milk. These cheeses" have this advantage
over other kinds, and they, ,donot epgendcr

ofsyears,, provided they are placed in dry
situation and In we'll closed vessels.

Snap and Shakespeare

"Once, during the days of my early
struggle in the profession" said Edwin
Booth, land while we were barn storming
down in Virginia, an odd thing happened,
which illustrates the shifts to which the
poor player was then put in order to get
along. We were playing 'showing' they
called it-7Tone night at a,little place called
Lees Landing and the tobacco warehouse

crowded with planters for miles around.
We had arranged to take tho weekly

were all busy packing up. The play was
1hc Merchant Of Venice, and we were
just going on for the court scene, where the
Jew insists ,op his pound Of flesh, when we
heard "a whistle blow, and the manager
came running in to say that the steamer had
arrived ahead of time and would leave
again in ten minutes.
"As that was our only chance of getting
down 10 the Chesapeake, we were natur.
ally in terrible quandary. IF we stop
right here and EXPLAIN said the manager,
the audience will think they are being

Norway.

Americans cannot but be interested in
all that relates to Norway and the Nor
wegians. The old Norscmen who visited
our shores some five centuries before Colam-
bus discovered the New Worlc, have trans
mittcd to their descendants many of the
sterling qualities that made them once pre-
emlnont IN Northern Enropc, and the curl
GUS student who pores over the scanty re-
cords of their voyages to North America,

who arc still hardy race, and who have

ture, naval as well as ccclcsias ical.

common with us; while, on the other hand
there was none of the prccocity of super
annuatcd boyhood, and OF coquetry IN the
girls, that IS too apparent among American
youth. Naturally enough, when the sexes

Hunting In the TyrOl.

A love of the chase is inherent in the
bold men of the Tyrol, and sport is fur
nlshcdto the intrepid hunter by several
varieties of game birds. Among these arc
the black cock and tue golden eagle. The
black cock belongs to the grouse species,
and the sport requires great hardihood and
patience and an accurate knowledge of his
pcculiarities. Like the pinnatcd grouse of
our prairics, he is polygamous; but, un-
like them, is shot during tho pairing sea
son, the hens being carefully spared. The
descriptions the hunters give Of the love-
sick bird strutting and gamboling around
the base of a tree for the edi3cation of the
hens who crowd around their lord and mas
ter are ludlcrous in the extreme, His long
song, which consists Of three distinct notes
repeated constantly at more or less regular
intervals, is frequently his rum, for in the
midst of his ecstacies, during the execu
ton of the third note, he is inscnslb.e to
danger and becomes an easy prey to the
rifle of the expert huntsman. Of course if
you adopt the English idea Of sport, YOU
can build miniature hut or blind of
bushes in the course Of the day, close to
the tree selected by the jealous old cock
for his morning song, patiently await the
advent OF the game, and then murder him
ia cold blood. But this is far different
from the genuine sport, where foot und
hand, eye and ear, are on the alert to take
advantage of any indiscrction of your
quick-witted opponent. 1t is contest be-
tween the acute intellect Of the featherless
biped and the keen instinct of his fealhered
prototype. The golden eagle, the tiger of
his race, is occasionally seen crcling
around his cyrie among the lofty crags,
and his young are sometimes captured by
tue intrepid hunter. They are of immense
size, sometimes measuring eight feet from
tip to tip of the wings, and are the great
est foes of the chamois and roe buck, as
well as the farmers stock of young pigs,
kids and lambs. had the plcasurablc ex-
citoment OF seeing one of these rapaclous
birds carrying off young chamois, which
he had swooped down upon with rcsistless
fury, and by the mere force Of the concus-
sion hurled down the abyss, at the brink of
which 1T happened to be feeding. Several
times the great weight of the prey Obliged
him to loosen his hold upon it while cir
cling at terrible height over ravinc and
peak. AS it fell. the eagle dartcd after it,
and catching it IN his claws, and sinking
thirty or forty feet by the mere impetu-
osity of his downward flight, he spread his
mighty wings to their widest extent and
resumed his circling ascent with his prey
firmly clutched in his strong talons.

How to Dress with Taste.

The art of dress comprises color, texture,
form and ornamcntation. The first consid-
Grafton should be directed to color. The
accepting OF fashionable shades, without
any regard to the claims Of complexion, is
great error, and the result Is rarely cor
rect. BY chance one may, sometimes make
a good hit in such matters, although by ac-
cidcnt some Of the best things in existence
have come To- light. Red, this season, is
quite favorite, and can be worn by the
blonde and the brunette, but the former
must exercise little discretion in adopt
ing to any profusion this telling dye. The
blonde who can befttingly adorn herself in
scarlet trimmings, and especially where
the hue is in close proximity to the COM
pleXion, should be very fair; clear white
skin will beautifully reflect the brightness
OF the scarlet; whereas, face that has a
yellowlsh hue, or rather tlorid aspect,
should never appear to favor scarlet; if this
color is worn at all by such, let it be far
away from the face, except when arranged
in an evening toilet a brunette cannot
wear pale-grccn, which is most becoming
to the fair beauty. Orange is the brunettc's
own color; but if the dark belle has blue
eyes this dazzling shade will not enhance
her appearance. The color Of the toilet
should be Of that nature to impart heal
thy tone to the complexion. This idea
when clfcctlally produced has vcIy sat-
isfactory result. Avoid wearing those col.
ors that heighten Or destroy either the red,
yellow or white IN the natural flesh tints.

Origin OF Nann0B.


1t is not generally known that the IIud
son is called North River IN contradistinc.
ton to the South River, as the Delaware
was formerly styled. Massachusetts was
30 dubbed because in the aboriginal tongue
II meant "about the great hilIs"--that is,
the Blue Hills. Boston, named after tho
English city, was originally st. Bardolphs
town, of which Boston is an abbreviated
corruption. Albany was 80 chrlstcncd in
honor of the Duke of York and Albany
(aiterward James lI.), at tho imo
II came into The possession of the English
(lGG4). Catskill is the Dutch for panther
or lynx, which once infested those mount
aims. Cattaraugus was SO designated by
the Indians because they had, for some
mysterious reason, associated it with un.
pleasant odors. 1t means ill-smeling shore.
This is not so bad 40. Chicago, an Indian
word, sigmiying Il stencil, whiol, judging
from the complaints in Chicago papers of
the city's fragrance, would seem to have
been properly named. Chcmung means
big horn, from fossil tusk found in the
river. Crown Point is said to have been
so called because scalpipg parties were sent
thence by the French and Indians. Eric
signifies wild cat (thc Erie Railway has
e:rtainly been "wlld cat" road, as tho
expression Is understood in the West), and
was borne by Il fierce tribe of savagcs cx-
terminated by tho Iroquois. Manhattan IS
cmincntly fitted for the metropolis, its i'm
port being town on the island. Mohawk
was applied by the New England tribes to
the lroquois, from their habit of eating
live food. Niagara means neck of water !;
Oneida, people of the beacon stones Onon-
daga, place of the hills; Saratoga, place of
the miraculous waters III a rock Ontario,
village On mountain--thc chief scat Of

Cesarca, the old Latin name of the largest
of the Channel Islands, and very unlike
our sister State, which got it's title perhaps
by contrast. Passaic signifies valley.
