The Bird of Paradise.

The twelve wired bird of paradise in
its adult male plumage presents very
remarkable appearance. Tho head, neck
and throat are velvety black, changing
in certain lights to beautiful purple.
The breast feathers are edged with me.
tallic emerald green. The back is olive
green, the primaries and serondaries
rich purple, the flank and undertail
coverts buff. The peculiarly which
suggested name Tor the bird is a
curious prolongation of the shafts of the
flank feathers-six on each side, like
long wires. The female does not pos
sess these, and is altogether much plain
er in plumage. Mr.. Wallace has de-
scribed it as frequenting towering trees,
especially sage palms and pandani, suck
ing the flowers, round and beneath
which its unusually large and powerful
feet enable it to cling. Its motions are
very rapid. It seldom rests more than
q few moments on one tree, after which
it flies off, and with great swiftness, to
another. 1t has loud, shrill cry, which
can be heard long way, consisting Of
"Cah, cah," repeated five or six times
in a descending scale, and at the last
note it generally flies away. The males
are solitary in their habits, although
perhaps they assemble at times, like the
true paradise birds.

The Drillers of Oil Wells.

The men who drill oil wells become
wonderfully expert at their work or
perhaps it would be more accurate to
say that only those who are very expert
can get work. A correspondent who
has watched the process thus describes
a driller's skill "He has spent years
learning his trade, and learns something
new with each well he drills. He knows
the qualification of the earth more mi
nutely than any geological books teach,
and he can tell how near the bit is to
the oil-bearing sand by the little par
ticles that cling to it when he takes it
out, or by the few grains of gravel
washed out of the bailings. With his
hand upon the cable he marks its auiv-
ering as delicately as physician with
his finger on patients pulse, and by
the faint variation of the tremor under
stands what the bit is doing, sometimes
almost half mile down the narrow hole.
The style of different drillers varies as
does the handwriting of different men,
or as the touch of players upon the
piano. They know each others pecul-
iarities, and an experienced driller can
frequently tell who is in derrick with
out seeing him if he is allowed to watch
the work awhile, or, what is more i'm
portant in these days of mysteries, if he
knows the driller he can guess the depth
of the well within 100 feet if he gets his
eyes on the outside machinery for o
short time"

Lynch Law.

This term, as commonly In nse in the
United States, is personification of vio-
lent and illegal Justice According to
some authorities, the term was derived
from Virginia farmer named Lynch.
But it can be traced to a much earlier
date in Ireland. When, in 1893, James
Fitzstephens Lynch was Mayor and
Warden of Galway, he traded largely
with Spain, and sent his son thither to
purchase a cargo of wine. The young
man squandered the money intrusted to
him, but succeeded in running in debt
for a cargo to Spaniard, by whose
nephew he was accompanied IN the re-
turn voyage to Ireland, where the money
was to be paid. Young Lynch, to con-
ceal his defalcation, caused the Span
lard to be thrown overheard, and was re-
ceived at home with great honor. But a
sailor revealed to the Mayor of Galway
the crime which his son had committed.
The young man was tried before his own
father, convicted, and sentenced to be
hanged. His family and others deter
mined to prevent the execution. The
father, finding that the sentence could
not Se carried into effect the usual way,
conducted his son to a window overlook
ing the public street, with his own hands
fastened the halter attached to his neck
to staple in the wall and acted as his
executioner. In the Council books of
Galway there is said to be minute that
James Lynch, Mayor of Galway, hanged
his own son, out of the window, for de-
frauding and killing strangers, without
martial or common law, to show good
example 70 posteritv

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.


BANANA PIE.-Slice raw bananas, add
butter, sugar, allspice and vinegar, or
boiled cider or diluted Jelly: bake with
two crusts. In the South they use cold
boiled sweet potatoes in this way, and
regard the pie as choice. 10
Poor MANS FRUIT CAKE.-This cake
is excellent as we'll as economical. Take
one and half cups of brown sugar, two
cups of flour, one of butter, and one of
chopped raisins, three eggs, three table
spoons of sour milk, half teaspoon of
soda, half cup of blackberry jam. Mix
the sugar, butter and eggs together
first, then the -four and milk and fruit.
Bake IN a moderate oven.
BoNED CHICKEN.-Boil a chicken IN
as little water as possible until the meat
will fall from the bones remove all of
the skin, chop together the light and
dark parts (; season with pepper and salt.
Boil down the liquid in which the
chicken was boiled, then pour it on the
meat /; place in tin, wrap tightly in a
cloth, press with heavy weight for
several hours. This is delicious for
sandwiches at picnic.
CHERRY PIE.-Line pie-tin with rich
crust; nearly fill with the carefully
seeded fruit, sweeten TO taste, and
sprinkle evenly with teaspoontul of
corn starch, or table spoonful of -four:
add Il tablespoonful of butter cut into
small bits and scattered over the top:
wet the edge of the crust, put on upper
crust, and press the edges closely to-
gether, taking care to provide holes in
the center for the escape of the air. Pies
from black berries, raspberries, ETC., are
ali made i'll the same way, regulating
the quantity of sugar by the tartness of
the fruit.
LEMON PIE.-One tablespoonful of
corn starch mixed with a little cold
water; add three-fourths of pint of
boiling water; the grated rind and juice
of one and half lemons cut the lemon
very fine, and add, also, one and half
teacups of white sugar and the yelks of
four eggs well beaten together; line a
pie-dish with crust, put in the mixture
and bake in a moderate oven. Then
beat the whites OF two or three eggs to
a stiff froth, add two table-spoonfuls of
white sugar, one table spoonful of corn
starch, stir them into the eggs, spread

STRAWBERRY SHoBTCAKE.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph gives the following
method for making this cake: Take
about two qus rts of berries make the
cake as for soda biscuit three pints of
-four with three teaspoonfuls of cream
of-tartar sifted in it; teaspoonful OF
salt, two tablespoonful OF butter and
one of lard rubbed into the -four mix ii
with pint of milk and teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in it roll it out half an
inch in thickness aud bake in either one
or two cakes in a quick oven, about
fifteen or twenty minutes. Split the
cake open as soon as it comes from the
oven, mark it around the edges with a
knife and separate it with the fingers, as
cutting it makes it heavy. Butter both
top and bottom cakes, spread the straw
berries on the lower one, sprinkle thick
ly with powdered sugar. lay the top crust
on the berries, and serve it with rich
cream. Bake it in large round or
square tins. To be cut at table.

Standing Treat.

No American custom causes more gen.
eral surprise and amusement among
travelling foreigners than that which is
known in our saloons as Treating -
consisting in the entertainment of two
or more with refreshment, for which one
volunteers to pay. 1t is pure American
ism all over the republic it is as COM
mon as in Europe it is unknown. There
is probably no minute of day in the
year when two or three hundred citizens
of any large city are not guzzling some
thing stronger than water at somebody
else's expense.
The casual meeting of two men who
have never exchanged word together is
a signal for both to instantly exclaim :
"Come, let's have something !" and for
both to dive dewn into the nearest sub
terranean cavity below the sidewalk.
The one who spoke first always insists
upon "paying the shot the word
shot" being a metaphorical reference
to the deadly character of the contents
usually taken into the stomach. If two
friends meet, the regular thing to say
first is, Lets drink to old times" and
the resident must invariably "treat the
stranger.
If there is anything more absurd than
the habit. we are unable to put our fin
ger upon it. Men do not always " treat"
each other to car tickets because they
happen to meet on the same seat. We
never saw man take out his pocket
book on encountering new acquaint-
ance and say: "Ah, George. delighted
to see you Do take few stamps! It's
boya for
paying each others bills? And is
drinking together more "social" than
eating together or sleeping together?
A traveller may go all over the con-
tinent of Europe, of Asia, and of Africa,
without seeing any man except Yam
kee offer to " treat, and the Frenchmen
are quite social enough, but when they
turn into cafe to sip their wine OF
branded coffee together, each man pays
for his own. When two Germans long
separated meet, they will be very likely
to embrace aud then turn into an ada
cent beer cellar, sit down and drink and
eat pretzels and chat, but when they
part again each man settles his score
Independently. So in Italy. The
Italians are probably merry and gener'
GUS. but each man pays for his OWL
wine, macaroni and cigars. They
would as soon think of transferring each
other their washerwoman's bills.
The preposterous fashion OF treat
ing" is responsible for the terrible
drunkenness in America. There would
be little need of temperance societies
and little work for Good Templars i
this pernicious and insidious habit was
abolished. 1t is, taken all in all, the
most ridiculous, the most unreasonable
and the most pestiIent custom that evei
laid it's tyrannical hand on civilization.

and lasting and permanent in its cures, the
component ingredients being highly soothing to
the system. They derive their virtues chiefly
from the rare merits of the old Burdock plant,
