AMBER.

The best pieces of amber are now
taken in the rough by Armenian mer-
chants to Constantinople, where they
are carved and chased and polished by
the hand of the engraver, as mouth
pieces for pipes. In the Pipe Bazaar of
the great Byzantine edifce-which con-
tains mosques, fountains, and laby-
rinth of arcaded streets, each separate
bazaar-are hidden away amber mouth
pieces of fabulous value, in every
shade of color, lustrous as crystal. and
set with diamonds and rubies. Sup
ported by sculptured columns, and
decorated with arabesques, this dir1ly-
lighted city in the heart of STEAMBOAT is
full of marvels and treasures. Through
its narrow thoroughfares camels and
carriages and horsemen force their way,
among dense throng Of people of every
nation and type-Turks in muslin tur-
bans, Persians in pyramidal bonnets of
Astrakhan fur, Hebrews in yellow coats,
with Greeks. Americans and running
footmen in gorgeous iveries; and in
this shifting crowd are dignitaries of the
court, who spend perhaps $4,000 francs
on their pipe collection and harem
ladies wrapped in long white veiis, who
come for gray, amber, gold embroidered
bags of musk and sandal-wood, and the
sweet-scented gums made by the women
of Chic, which are all sold in the Per-
fumery Bazaar of this great Oriental
fair. Amber, little esteemed as it is at
the present time in Europe, and al
though no longer the important source
of wealth that it once was, still has a
place in the luxury and religion of the
East and the dim records of its vener-
able history furnish us with many pic
turesqueandpoetic associations whether
we think of it in early home amid archaic
forests, or as in classic lore

"FOOLING GLNER1L SHERMAN"

About six miles out of Savannah,
came across farmer who accepted q
plug OF tobacco and was ready to sit
down on log and answer all questions.
When l asked him about Sherman's APP
proach, he burst into loud laugh and
slapped his leg, and was SO tickled that
he did not calm down for two minutes.
Excuse me, stranger" he finally said.
but whenever think of how 1 fooled
Glneral Sherman it tickles me all over"
Did you fool him?'
Well, rather reckon"
"How?"
Wall, you see, that's my place up
thar on the rise. When the war broke
out L was the most cantankerous rebel
you ever saw. I swore I'd fight and
tout and fit till we lick the Yanks, if it
took hundred years. I reckon Gineral
Sherman heard of it."
Probably he did,
"And after he took Atlanta he made
up his mind to gobble me. He knew I'd
swore to die before I'd surrender, and
he came along down from Atlanta with
over 10000 men to surround me. Mighty
cute old man, that Gineral Sherman !"
Eyes"
Wall, they got here one night about
10 o'clock. I reckon that nigh on to
10000 of them surrounded my house up
thar and called fur me to come out and
surrender and end the war;"
And of course YOU did"
"And of course I didn't! That's whar'
the fun comes in. [ wasn't home at all,
but was down in Narginny with Lee.
They entered the house and sarched and
sarched, and went to the barn and called
and called, and when the old woman
finally told 'em I WASN'T home they was
the maddest crowd you ever sot eyes on.
They had hoofed it all the way from
Atlanta to get their paws on me, and
had had their long march for nothing!
[ expect Sherman was ready to bust
with madness, and I reckon he won't
never quite forgive me. It tickles the
old woman wuss than it tickles me,
and you'd better come up to the house
and hear her tell what them 10000
Yankees said when they got here and
found me gone detroit Free Press.

Here is boys composition on fall:
"This is fall because it falls on this sea-
son OF the year. Leaves fall, too, as well
as thermometers and the price of straw
hats. Old topers, who sign the pledge
in summer, are liable to fall when fall
cider making opens, for straws show
which way the cider goes. Husking corn
is one of the pleasures of fall, but pleas
ure isn't good for little boys, I don't
think. Old men want little fun; let
them husk. A husky old man can get
through good deal of corn sometimes.
Digging taters is another of our fall
amusements. The way I like to dig
taters is to wait till they are baked nice
ly and then dig them out of their skins.
Most winter schools open in the fall.
The best winter school I went to didn't
open until spring, and the first day is
opened the teacher took sick and the
school closed for the season. Once in q
while we have q very severe fall, hut
nothing like the fall o. Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden. Summer is mis-
named. It should be called pride, for
doesn't pride go before fall %

there is no patent. It consists of

There is one point necessary to Oh
serve, and very important one. This
is not to let the corn get too old before
drying. One of my neighbors dried
600 pounds last season, but let it Get SO
old that it was difficult to market. It
should be just in condition to be right
for the table. Drying does not change
it. When it gets too old il does not
dry away so much, but is very inferior.

the season as long as possible. Last
season L sold all I could spare, very
readily. at fair price, and there was
demand for much more; so this season
l am preparing to raise as much as I

W-4TCHED BY Il TVOM.4N.

Two Ola party of young gentlemen
at Marblehead went in swimming one
warm day last summer, and, while
rollicki& in the breakers, they were
startled to see young lady deliberate
ly take her seat on the bluff and watch
them. The first of the gentlemen to dis
cover the fair visitor was young
yachtsman, who was standing in small
boat preparing to dive into the water.
CHANGING over his left shoulder, he saw
her sitting ON the rocks, tanning herself,
and, as If struck by bolt Of chain
lightning, settled himself back in the
boat and stared at the apparition. The
other, who was about to wade ashore to
dress, caught sight of the lady and at
once dashed for deep water. Then en-
sued series of pantomime between the
swimmers. One thought it would
be good idea to swim about an eighth
of q mile away and gain the shore from
that point. The other was willing, but
remembered that they would have no
clothes to put On if they did so.
Finally, as a last resort. enc of them
yelled out, Darn, it, ma am, can't you
see that we are in swimming?7 Still
the maiden moved not Then the other
chimed in. PLEASE go away; we want
to come ashore and dress" But she
was deaf to all entreaties At last, in
fit of desperation, and concluding that
she could not lie much" one of the
young men swan to the shore, and,
wrapping himself in eel-grass and sea-
weed. crawled out cautiously along the
rocks until he reached the spot where
his clott hing had been left. The shouts
of laughter which rent the air at that
moment tlivtliged the whole plot, and
the swimmers found that they had been
made the victims of a first-cIass prac-
teal joke, the intrusive and OVERLOAD
young lady being no other than one of
their gentlemen friends, who,
With the aid of several young-lady &C
lnaintances, had gotten himself up for

DOES GOOD PRINTING p1Y?

We do not suppose there is anything
that men buy which gives them more
genuine satisfaction in it's use than good
stationery. There is pleasure in using
good stationery, especially in private
correspondence, which cannot be OBJ
tanned by the use of poor article, how
ever it may be managed. The value of
good stationery to business men is rarely
appreciated by even those who are in
the habit of using it. A letter always
creates an impression. Especially is
this true when the letter is from a
stranger. Accordingly it is we'll for
every one who writes letters to consider
what kind of an impression his epistle is
likely to create in the mind of the per.
son to whom it is addressed.
The most important element in Great
ing favorable impression by the letters
one writes is in the style and quality of
the paper and envelope, the character
Of the printing forming the letter head,
and the taste displayed in the general
arrangement. If the whole be done in a
way that indicates taste, favorable i'm
preston is almost invariably made. On
the other hand, if the general style of
paper and printing be slouchy, an i'm
preston quite the opposite Of favorable
will be created in the minds of the per-
sons addressed. There is nothing which
the business man uses in which cheap
ness is such bad policy as the stationery
employed in his correspondence. He
may pay his clerks only half salaries, he
may descend to all sorts of meanness in
his management, and perceive no disas-
trous results arising from his policy,
because no one outside of his own store
will know it. Such management cannot
be patent to his customers, and there
fore can have no effect upon their MINDS.
On the other hand, every one with whom
he deals by the medium of correspond
ence has an opportunity to Judge of him
by the character of the letters he writes.
and will not be slow to form an opinion.
A handsomely written letter, upon good
letter-paper, having q fine heading, in
dicating that good taste has been exer-
clsed in selecting it, never fails to create
good impression.

Il BLEAK REGION-A SAILORS &C.
COUNT OF WR1NGEL LAND.

The island rises abruptly from the
ocean, though not precipitously. There
is no beach to speak Of, the land having
an average elevation of ten feet above
the surface of the water. It is sur
rounded by deep water, and from sound
mgs that our party made we found an
average depth of ten to twelve fathoms
at distance of ten feet from the shore.
There IS no earth to speak of. The
soil Is formed almost entirely Of what
seemed to be large black pebbles of a
sandy nature. Between these grew a
green and thin three-bladed grass, re-
sembllng very much the wood-tick
grass of the Eastern States. The island
has circumference of about $50 miles.
The island is fiat table land. AS YOU
go toward the center you come across
numerous ponds and marshes of black
ish water. The only vegetation you see
there is small, pinzisll, odorless flower
with four petals and the familiar rock
moss. The soil is what you might call
peat. It is not mushy, but elastic, re-
minding you when you walk on it of the
give in cork. Everything is black,
just as if it had been smeared with coal
tar. You find piles of driftwood every
where. The island during some sea-
sons is entirely submerged under the
ice. 1t IS well-known fact that in
some seasons the island is lost to sight,
and that is undoubtedly the reason why
Capt. De Long, of the Jeanette. did
not, as he was instructed to do, leave
any account of himself. There is no
animal life on the island. [ was told
that there were squirrels, but what
would they find TO feed on? I did not
see anything. Ducks and birds make a
resting-place on the island, and in open
seasons the Mesinker natives come from
the american shore to fish and to hunt
walrus These are the natives from
which relics OF the lost whalers Vigilant
and Mount Wollaston were obtained
Desolate and uninviting as the island is
it was sort of a two-davs' picnic for
us; and our party was glad to get an
opportunity to stretch our legs little.

The proportion of persons of voting age
in the foreign population is 40 per cent,
OF nearly one to two, while the proper

10 per cent, or little over one to five.
1t was not generally supposed that so
