CarjvIe's Manuscript.

Carlyle had very peculiar handwrit-
ing. An expert has said of it: "Eccen-
trio and spiteful little flourishes dart
about his manuscript in various odd
ways; some are intended to represent the
IL dot, though far removed from the
parent stem, while others, commenced
as cross to the It, suddenly recoil in
an absurd fashion, as if attempting a
calligraphical somersau1t, and in SO doing
occasionally cancel the entire word
whence they sprang. Some letters slope
one way and some another; some are
halt, MANNED, or crippled, while many
are unequal in height, form, style and
everything else. The autograph is
rather larger than the rest of the manu-
script, the manner Of which does not
impress the eye pleasantly, the grabbed
look not being very significant of amia-
bility."
CARLYLE was q terror to composit6rs.
He used to revise and retouch his proof
so much that the labor of correcting aud
overrunning was greater than the first
work Of setting up. One day his Lon
don publishers foreman said to him:
"Why, sir, you really are very hard on
us with your corrections. They take so
much time, you see." .'5. 60. =. ;. ,
Carlyle urged in reply that printer
ought to be accustomed to such annoy
ances, and that in Scotland there was no
fues made over them. -

The Care Of Matches.


In nothing about the household does
the injunction to have place for every
thing require more strict enforcement
than in the care Of matches. What are
known as "parlor Matches light the
most readily, and are as much more dan
yerous than the common matches as they
are more convenient. The general stock
should be kept in tin box, which is not
to be opened or taken from except by the
master or mistress of the house. For
each room where matches are used there
should be metal match-safe of some
kind, and the matches are to be kept in
that and no where else. It should be re-
garded as serious offense for match
to be anywhere, or for ever SO short a
time found "lying around loose"
In the kitchen and in the bedroom. or
wherever else matches are in frequent
use, it is better to have the match-safe
fixed and always in the same place, so
that it can be found, if need be, in the
dark. In taking matches from the lar
gerbox to replenish the safes, let that al
ways be done by one person, and it will
pay for that person to look over the
matches at the time, throwing away all
broken ones, and where, as is often the
case, two or more are stuck together by
the explosive mixture, these should be
carefully broken apart, and unless two
good matches are the result, rather than
put into the safe one with too little and
the other with a ragged excess of the
mixture, throw both away. Also throw
into the fire those matches that have two
or three times as much Of the mixture on
the ends as they should have.
These, in lighting, often explode and
scatter burning particles in dangerous
manner. If, in lighting match, day or
night, it breaks, or the explosive end
comes off without lighting, do nothing
else until that end is found, and put in
the fire, or where it can do no harm. In
fact, treat matches, every match, as if it
were, as it really is, fire-arm, capable
of dangerous mischief to person and
property. Teach the children to care
fully observe the same caution.

exhibited nightly by Tanti, the leading
clown OF the establishment. Two Of
Moscow's wealthiestand most extravaqant
"curled darlings" have greatly distin-
guished themselves in connection with
these professional celebrities. Having
ascertained that Mile. Jutau had taken q
violent fancy to a particular horse be-
longing to salamonsky's performing
stud, they promptly purchased the ami
NAL for an amount equal to $500. and
presented it to her. It then occurred to
them that they would like to eat the
learned pig; SO they opened negotiations
with Signor Tanti, it's guide, philoso-
pher and friend, for the acquisition of
that accomplished creature. Tanti, who
loved his pig, and was sentimentally re-
luctant to part with it, set upon it, more
IN jest than earnest, price so extrava-

Not Guilty.

A young sport just to show his defiance
of law, went trout fishing during the sea-
son when catching trout is prohibited.
A game warden, accompanied by about
twenty young men, went outand watched
him. he asked of the warden: "Isn't
it against the law to catch trout this sea-

"Then why don't you arrest me?" Gar
rest you! Why I don't see any occasion

to see that his best hold was to take in

Esquimaux Carpentry.


The builder selects snow of the pro-
per consistency by sounding drift
with a cane made for the purpose of
reindeer horn, Strengthened by steam
ing, and worked down to about half
an inch in diameter, with ferule of
walrus tusk or the teeth of bear on
the bottom. By thrustlng this into
the snow he can tell whether the lay
ers deposited by successive winds are
separated by bands of soft snow, which
would cause the blocks to break. When
the snow is selected he digs pit to
the depth of eighteen inches or two
feet, or about the length of the snow
block. He then steps into the pit and
proceeds to cut out the blocks by first
cutting down the ends of the pit and
then at the bottom afterwards, cutting
a little channel about an inch or two
deep, making the thickness of the pro-
posed block. Now comes the part re-
quiring practice to accomplish success
fully. The expert will, with a few
thr,lsts of his knife in just the right
places, split off the snow block and lift
it carefully out to await removal to it's
position on the wall. The tyre will
almost inevitably break the blocks into
two or three pieces, utterly unfit for the
use of the builder. When two men are
building an igloo one cuts the blocks
and the other erects the wall. When
sufficient blocks have been cut out to
commence work with the builder marks
with his eye or perhaps draws a line
with his knife describing the circum-
ference of the building, usually cir
Gle about ten or twelve feet in di-
ameter. The first row of blocks is then
arranged, the blocks placed SO as to in
cline inward and resting again each
other at the ends, thus affording mutual
support. When this row is completed
the builder cuts away the first and Sec
ond blocks, slanting in from the ground
upward, so that the second tier, resting
upon the first row, can be continued on
and around spirally, and by gradually
increasing the inward slant a perfect
dome is constructed of such strength
that the builder can lie fat upon the
outside while chinking the interstices
between the blocks. The thinking is.
however, usually done by women and
children as the builder progresses, and
additional protection secured from the
winds in very cold weather by banking
up, with large snow shovel, the snow
at the base often being piled to the depth
of three or four feet. This makes the
igloo perfectly impe1vious to the
weather. When the house is completed
the builders are walled in. Then
small hole about two feet square is cut
in the wall on the side away from where
the entrance is to be located and is
used to pass in the lamps and bedding.
It is then walled up and the regular door
cut about two feet high and inches at
the top. It would bring bad luck to
carry the bedding into the igloo by the
same door it would be taken out. Be-
fore the door is opened the bed is con-
structed of snow blocks, and made from
one to three or four feet high, and &C.
cupies three-fourths of the entire space.
The higher the bed and the lower the
door the warmer the igloo will be.

bushel. Millet, II acres, yielding two
and nine hundredths ton per acre, cost
ing ,$2.13 per ton. The account in
cludes the cost of seeds, planting, Guilt
waiting, harvesting, and marketing. the
item of labor being charged at the aver
age price. The amount of wheat per
acre was very light, the weather in
early spring having been exceedingly
dry and very infavorable to the grain.
Twenty-Five to thirty bushels to the
acre, fair average yield, instead of
seventeen, would have reduced the cost
OF the wheat very materially.
The rule, as generally stated. is 500
cubic feet Of hay to ton, but to this
like many other rules, there are manv
exceptions. If one had NOW of verv
feet would weigh nearly ton, and on
tine June grass he would find that 400
the top of @ NOW Of coarse timothy II
would take more than 500 feet. TAKING
hay OF fair average ineness, and avera0.
ing top and bottom of the NOW, 500 feet
might approximate so near as to enable
2 person to make tolerably good guess.
The oats, wheat and rye upon the top of
the NOV would compress it to such
degree that less number of feet would
be required to the ton, but in what ex-
act ratio we could not state xactly.
Given q NOV thirty feet long, seventeen
feet wide and sixteen feet high; these
multiplied together give $3.50 cubic
feet; this should weigh 16t tons. If one
ls enabled to deliver sixteen tons of hav
we should consider it a close estimate.
The best breed for those who desire
to raise early chickens for market, is
undoubtedly the Plymouth Rock, and
the next best, the old-fashioned Ameri~
can Dominique. The chicks of both
breeds are hardy, grow rapidly, and
feather up quickly -three very desirable
qualities for early market chickens.
The only advantage that the Rocks have
over the Dominiques is in point Of size:
