The MAelstrOm.

The most celebrated of whirlpools is
that called the Maelstrom, which lies
to the southwark of the Loffoden
islands, off the coast Of Norway, near
a large rock in the middle of the strait
dividing the islands of Vaer and Mos
kenes. 1t is produced by the conflict
ing currents of one of the great Nor
wegian fiords. There are most extra
ordinary and romantic legends con-
cerning the Maelstrom, but careful
observations have shown that the
peril has been magnifed. AT flood
or ebb tide in summer it offers no
danger even to small boats. But in
winter, and during stormy weather.
even large ships and steamers do not
dare to venture near it. At certain
stages of the wind and tide during
this season the whole stream boils in
mighty whirls, against which the
largest vessels would contend in vain.
These whirling waters would not suck
vessels down in their vortex, however,
as formerly believed, but would infal7
libby dash them on the rocks, or, in
case Of small ships, swamp them with
water. The imagination of Edgar
A. Poe, which painted a descent into
the Maelstrom, had no hold on
facts whereupon to delineate his mar
velous picture. Stripped, however, of
its fictitious dangers, the Maelstrom is
still a gruesome fact, and the Norwe-
gian fisher-boats are careful to give it
a wide berth, except in very smooth
and pleasant weather, when the tide
is Just right. This is rather a dis
agreeable necessity, as it is said that
the Maelstrom and its vicinity furnish
favorite feeding-ground for the
largest and finest specimens Of the
dnny tribe.-A World Of Wonders.

Fashion Notes.

Lace of every description appears
on Irew costumes, in neck lingerie and
on fine unIerwear.
The basque to be in good form must
define the figure to perfection, but
should not be tight.
Cloaks of plush, brocade and velvet
are more frequently lined with satin OF
plush than with fur.
Capote bonnets are made longer and
more pointed in the brim in front and
shorter in the back.
White woolen stuffs, ,veilings, Chudda
cloths and foule goods will be used for
winter festival dresses.
The blouse waistcoat in satin surah
appears on many stylish suits of velvet
and plush for little folks.
Trained dresses for evening wear are
coming back to favor, judging from
the unusual number in this style ex-
hibited by leading importers.
Ultra-fashionable ladies cover their
pet lap-dogs with tiny blankets made
of bit of the dress goods of which
their own costumes are made.
Bewitching little gowns for two
year-old girls are made of soft white
wool, crocheted very closely in loops in
the stitch known as the bTioche, and
afterward cut, leaving a soft and
smooth surface. The collar and deep
cuffs are made of white plush.
In brocaded satins, velvets and silks
the figures this season are monstrously
large in size-dahlias, sunhowers, full
blown roses, passion flowers and vines,
and the like, all being reproduced in
their natural hues and dimensions.
These fabrics are designed exclusively
for the use of portly danes and
dowagers, and never for little women,
who would look like lost babes in the
woods enveloped in a labyrinth of huge
buds, blossoms and spreading foliage,
two of these floral monstrosities being
almost enough to cover their dainty
and delicate backs.
AS to general outlines in the world
of fashion, the coiffure is still arranged
in severe simplicity, close to the head,
and with no false switches where

COurtshIp Among the Choctnna.

There are still 1000 Choctaws living
In their ancestral homes in Mississippi,
and, on the authority of Mr.. II. S. Hal
bert, they retain in all their pristine
vigor most of the usages of their an.
cestors. Among these the methods
employed in conducting a courtship
and performing amarriage are curious
When a young Choctaw of Kemper OF
Neshoba county sees a maiden who
pleases his fancy he watches his oppor-
tunity until he finds her alone. He
then advances within a short distance
and gently lets fall pebble at her feet.
He may have to do this two or three
times before he attracts the maiden's
attention, when, if this pebble
throwing is agreeable, she soon
makes it manifest. If otherwise,
a scornful look and a decided
''ekwah" indicate that his suit is in
vain. Sometimes, instead of throwing
pebbles, the suitor enters the maiden's
cabin and lays his hat upon her bed. If
the mans suit be acceptable the hat is
permitted to remain, but if she be un-
willing to be his bride it is instantly
removed. Whichever method be en-
ployed, the rejected suitor knows that
it is useless to press his suit, and beats
as graceful a retreat as possible. When
a marriage is agreed upon, the time
and place are fixed for the ceremony.
The relatives and friends of the bride
and bridegroom meet at their respec-
tive homes, and from thence march to
the marriage ground, hating short
distance from one another. The BROTH
ers Of the bride go across to the oppo-
site party and bring forward the BRIDE
groom, who is then seated upon
blanket spread upon the ground. The
sisters of the bridegroom then do like
wise by going over and bringing for
ward the bride. She is expected to
break loose and run, but of course is
pursued, captured, and brought back to
be seated by the side of the bridegroom.
All the parties now cluster around the
couple the woman's relatives bring
forward bag of bread-a lingering
symbol Of the time when the women
had to raise the corn the mans rela-
tives bag of meat, in memory of the
days when the man should have pro-
Ided the household with game. Next,
Presents of various sorts are showered
on the couple, who all this time sit
still, not even speaking word. With
the last present they arise, now man
and wife, and, Just as in civilized life,
provisions are spread and the cere-
mony is rounded off with a feast.

HEALTH HINTS.

Three-fourths of the summer diar-
rheas and dysenteries are attributable
to the use of animal food, together
with the unclean habits Of body Of
those who eat it.
To destroy black-heads, wash the
face thoroughly at night with tepid
water and rub briskly with Turkish
towel; then apply mixture of one
ounce of liquor of potassa and two
ounces of cologne.
In Dr.. Foote's Health Monthly we
find the following remedy for hoarse-
ness: Let lump of boraX dissolve
slowly in the mouth; or inhale mild
ammonia vapor; and put a cloth wrung
out with cold water about the throat

Congestion of the brain most fire.
quently results from trouble and
anxiety Of mind, producing sleepless-
ness, followed by the engagement of
the small blood vessels of the brain,
sudden loss of vital power, and almost
instant death. Apoplexy may be an
inherited disease, or it may be induced
by too free living, or its opposite, too
great abstemiousness. Paralysis may
affect only a small portion of the body,
from a finger OF toe to an entire limb,
or it may disable half the body, or the
whole body, when death soon follows.
When half the body is affected by
paralysis we may be certain that the
seat Of the disease is in the opposite
side of the brain, because nerve fibers
cross. Partial paralysis is often
temporary when caused by the
rupture of a small blood vessel,
if the clot is got rid of by absorption
or otherwise. Although this is a dis
ease that all classes Of people are liable
to, its most destructive work is among
the deprayed and dissipated.

as great in quantity as on the coast of
Pennsylvania; and the same, or even
more striking difference may be found
by comparing Morocco with the Chi

At the Kings Gate.

A beggar sat at the kings gate,
And sang of summer in the rain
A song with sounds reverberate
OF wood and hill and plain,
That rising bore a tender weight
OF sweetness, strong and passionate;
A song with sigh of mountain pass,
Ripple and rustic Of deep grass,
The whispering of wind-smote sheayes,
Low tapping of long lily leaves,
Red morns and purple-mooned ewes.
The king was weary of his part,
The king was tired of his CROWN
He looked across the rainy land,
Across tho barren stretch of sand,
Out to tho rainy sea;
He heard the wind boat loud and fres
The gilded easement, sullenly
Falling away with mist and rain.
"But OH it is weary thing n
To weara crown and be a king,
Unending war with care and pain;
Oh, for one golden hour and sweet,
TO serve the king with willing feet"
But be would sleep, and from his heart
The jeweled sillen girdle loose,
And give il room to turn and choose
An easier measure for its beat.
Into the gilded chamber crept
A breath of summer, blown with rain
And Wild wet leaves againstthe pane.
The royal sleeper smiled and slept.
Thought that all things sweet were deadp'
They heard him say, who came to wed
The crown again to the kings head.

Old Farmer ThistlepOd dropped his

rack, and charged for the poultry
yard. He ran right over "A bee stand
Just the other side of the cypress bush,
and was stung in thirty places before
he jumped over the fence of the
poultry-yard, alighting upon the old
black hen that was brooding thirteen
chicks, breaking her neck and mashing
five hapless " weetles -; the gun caught
in the fence as he jumped, and went
off, killing a young turkey and filing
the Durham heifer in the meadow full
of buckshot; while the hawk, alone

the tumult and confusion, sailed grace

TRAINING VICIOUS HORSES new
and very simple method of training vi
clous horses was exhibited in Philadel-
phia recently, and the manner in which
some Of the widest horses were sub
dued was astonishing. The frst trial
was that of a kicking or ''buckinp''
mare, which her owner said had allow
ed no rider on her back for a period of
at least five years. She became tame
in about as many minutes. and allowed
herself to be riden about without sign
OF her former wilduess. The means by
which the result was accomplished was
by piece of light rope which was pass
ed around the front Jaw of the maze lust
above the teeth. crossed in her mouth
and thus secured back Of her neck. Tt
was claimed that no horse win kick or
jump when thus secured, and that a
horse, after receiving the treatment a
few times, will abandOn his vicious
ways forever. a very simple method
was also shown by which a kicking
horse could 6e shOd. 1t consisted III
connecting the animals head and tail
by means Of rope, fastened to the tail
and then to the bit. and then drawn
tightly enough TO incline the animals
head 10 one side. This. it is claimed,
makes u absolutely impossible for the
horse t. lick on the side of the rope.
at the same exhibition a horse. which
'or years had to be bonnd on the ground
to be shod, suffered The blacksmith To
operate on him without attemrting To
kick while secured in sthe manner des-
cribed.

RELICS FOUND IN ROUND TOWER.

Roman tower discovered in the Sablon
quarries IN Lorraine has been partly unbu-
ried and searched to the depth Of about five
metres. The walls are in good state of
preservation, being constructed of white
stone and held together by fine red ce-
ment harder than the stone itself. A num-
Der of interesting relics have been found
among these ruins Outside the tower is
some fine sand, to a depth of I'm SOC,
while inside a layer of dark earth contained
some large pieces of tile and bricks of
rather extraordinary dimensions. As the
Romans paid taxes according to the number
of their tiles, they deemed 1t wise to have
them made as large as was possible, and
these specimens measure from ON. 10 to Om.
10 in length, and ON. 3 to Om. 10 in thick
ness. They are in splendid condition, be-
ing of q bright red color, and having a
metallic sound which indicates the excel
lence of their manufacture. The Romans
exposed their tiles to the air, allowing them
to dry before placing them in the ovens,
where they were subjected to the highest
heat, which, however, was only reached In
SLOW ana regularly progressive stages
France was well wooded during the Roman
epoch, and for that reason the manufacture
of tiles and bricks presented no difficulties.
A number of statuettes and coins and in
scriptiOns to pagan deites have been
brought to light and they tend to show that
some of these relics belonged to the legion
stationed in Lorraine from the year so to
300 of the Christian era. The tower is
vaulted, and is supported on masonry in
the form of four arches.-The american
Register, Of Paris.
