The Japs and the Augers.

General Horace Capron, for several
years commissioner and adviser of the
japanese government for the develop
ment of the natural resources OF the
empire, says that on his arrival in
Japan he began puttings up buildings
after the American style, and, there
not being any mills, had at one time
300 natives saving out the lumber by
hand. He tells both an amusing and
wonderful story Of the natives use of
the auger. They had not even gim-
let, and all holes through the timber
had to be cut They thought it a
strange thing that tool should bore a
hole in "a few minutes that they had
been accustomed to spend whole day
upon. But, nevertheless, their natural
cleverness nd-imitative nature soon
taught them the advantages of the tool.
They were instructed how to use the
augers, and the work was going rapid
ly forward, when one day nearly all the
augers were missing. They had been
stolen, and diligent search failed to dis
cover them. A new supply could not
be got short of America or England,
which would require several months at
least, and accordingly the work was
carried on as well as possible with the
few remaining. About six weeks af-
terward the natives brought to General
Capron's office awhole armful of au-
gers, which they had made, using the
stolen ones for patterns. This was the
more remarkable, as they had no forges
or other tools. They were made en-
tirely by hand and out of gun-barrels.

The Overflow of the Nile.

This singular phenomenon is one of
the most important events in Egypt,
as on it the very life of Egyptian hus-
bandry depends. This flooding of the
river, which occurs once a year, is
caught and circulated through hun
dreds of channels, fertilizing every
acre of the soil from the tropics to the
Mediterranean. The rise is almost as
regular as the tide, beginning generally
the last of June and attaining it's
greatest height in the third or fourth
week of September, when the gradual
fall begins, lasting until the summer
solstice. The rise is due to equatorial
rains at the source and along the course
of the river. At the first appearance
of the rising waters the news is for
warded to Cairo and preparations are at
once made to protect the embankments
which fence the river from Assouan to
the sea. The rise will vary from a
minimum of nineteen feet to a max
imum of twenty-nine, the former max
ing a "bad'' Nile and the latter
dangerous one. The rise in 1874 was
exceedingly high, and but for stringent
precautions personally directed by the
khedive the whole of the delta would
have been badly injured.

tion."

New. and Notes for Women.


A lady who lives in Central New
York State" near the lakes, and who
has high family connections, and who .
is known in the best society in Wash
ington, employs her time in summer in
preserving and picking fruits and
vegetable, at which she has great skill;
and her sales reach $4,000 year.
Miss Marianne North, who recently

Eaahion Notes.

Handsome ornaments used sparingly
and flowers of the most brilliant colors
are seen with rich black and white
dresses.
Flowered muslin squares, originally
used for the neck, now furnish trim
ming for rough-and-ready hats of straw
to be worn in the country.
Vatican drapery in the form of
very broad double box plat is added to
the simplest as well as the most elab-
crate toilets of aesthetic tastes.
Ladies able to do so buy one large OF
two small white Canton crepe embroid-
cred shawls, and these make a pelo-
.naise to accompany a black velvet s
Mi1es b satin or MORE ribbon are
frequently used upon an elaborately
trimmed evening dress Of the latest
make.
Levantine, satin de Lyons, satin
duchesse, satin mervelleux and heavy
repped faiIle are the silk fabrics that
will be worn for autumn and winter
dresses.
The mosJ tasteful bonnet for mid
summer has crown of colored Eng
lish Grape drawn on wires, with a brim
of mignonettes, lilacs or other small
flowers.
The present season is called cotton
season, and now, by way of going from
one extreme to the other, it is an
nounced that the next will be a velvet
season.
Narrow braid, in silver or gold, is
much used for trimming cloth dresses
of monochrome color. Ever so little
of this garniture goes a great way in
effect. An unsparing use OF 1t Is
gaudy in the extreme.
Lace founces and frills, and also
muslin embroideries, look well when
placed over thin colored materials, such
as batiste and India muslin. The tone
given by these semi-transparent fabrics
is much more delicate than where SILK
is employed as foundation.
A black and white striped silk and
satin is laid in kilt-plaits falling over
an eight-inch plated fiounce, the up
per dress being a straight redingote Oh
white yelling for the carriage or short
polonaise or panier basque when the
dress is for indoors.
The newest wool fabrics to be COM
bined with plain Victoria silks are ecru
striped with bronze and pale blue satin,
dark brown with old gold and snuff
brown, and white striped with storm
orav and black. The latter comes
under the head of new color rage.
Cachemire pattern bands are'quite in
favor, and are likely to be more so as
the autumn approaches. Most of these
imported Indian trimmings, with dress
fabric en- suite, are of sufficiently high
price to add considerable value to the
nossession of a toilet of this kind
These rich Oriental trimmings are em
ployed only on dark dresses or those
of neutral tint.

One of the curious industries OF the
United States has its principal homes
at New Berne, n. G. This is the
manufacture of wooden platters, plates
and trays. The timber used for this
purpose is supplied by the neighboring
swamps. A huge log is rounded by a
circular plane and then put into a
machine which, with great accuracy
and swiftness, cuts off thin strips OF
the wood. When these strips have
been cut into square pieces and thor
oughly dried they are made piable by
steam. In that condition they are
nodded in the shapes desired.

The MOcking Bird.

The mocking bird commences to
sing at the age of seven or eight
weeks. The first notes are low and un-
finished, but as he grows older his
voice increases in volume and compass
and his aptitude for learning is greatly
developed. His natural song is sweet.
bold, varied, and in his native woods
he surpasses every competitor. He is
the great artist the other songsters OF
the forest are only the chorus. During
the utterance of his song he appears to
be in perfect ecstasy of delight; his
constant, graceful motion, expanded
wings and tail and flashing eye, add to
the music a vivacity and elegance
of rendering given only by this
wonderful bird. His notes are sweeter
in his wild state than in captivity,
owing to the absence of harsh noises
which he so often hears when confined
in the habitations of man. He loses
none of his power or energy Of song in
confinement, and his opportunity for
mimicking are much enhanced by the
variety of the new sounds which he
constantly hears. He improves every
chance offered him, and takes as much
delight in initiating a buzz saw or rusty
pump as he does in initiating the
sweetest of flute notes. His repertoire
is unlimited; he will repeat anything,
from a snatch of the latest grand opera
to the infnitesimal twitter of the hum
ming bird. He sings the songs
of other cage-birds with a su-
periority altogether. notifying to
them, and his clucks oftentimes can
make the lost chicken forget its mother
Mocking birds are very tough and
hardy, and with good care live to be
twenty years of age. Their ailments
are few and simply cured !; change of
food occasionally is good, the variety
seeming to please them and keep them
in constant song. They sing all the
year, except during the molting season
and two weeks of the breeding season.
They are easily molted, the chief care
being to keep them out OF draughts
while shedding, and toafsed an abun-
dance of fresh green foodAnd insects.
| The cage should be ca5f 5f''ly--kept
clean, and plenty Of gravel strewn on
he bottom, so as to keep the feet in,
order. They are very fond of bathing
which desire should be daily gratifed.
The prepared food, either moist or dry,
should be the regular diet. When the
dry food is used, grated raw carrot
must be mixed with it. For variety,
feed the potato and egg mixture with
a little Indian meal or grated carrot
added. Ants eggs soaked and added
to the food are always beneficial a
meal-worm or two should be daily
given.
The ailments these birds are most
liable to are constipation and diarrhea
For constipation, change the food, civ
ing plenty of lettuce or other green
food and berries, and give a couple Of
meal worms dipped in olive or sweet
oil; the latter will usually effect 6
cure. Diarrhea may be cured by feed
ing bread soaked in boiled milk and
sprinkled with cayenne pepper.-Hot

The Wild Flowers of Montana.

The wild flowers of Montana are as
abundant as those of the Alps and
more varied. Choicest of them all,
because most delicate and fragrant, is
a white, star-shaped, wax-like blossom,
which grows very close to the ground,
and the large golden stamens of which
give out an odor like mingled hyacinth
and lily of the valley. The people call
it the mountain lily. There is an
other lily, however, and a real one
yellow with purple stamens-that
grows on high slopes in shaded places.
The yellow Towering currant abound
on the lower levels, and the streams
are often bordered with thickets of wild
rose bushes. Dandelion abounds, but
do not open in full, rounded perfection.
The common blue larkspur, however,
is as well developed as in our Eastern
gardens, and the little yellow violet
which in the States haunts the woods
and copses is at home in Montana,
alike in the moist valleys and upon the
bleak, dry hillsides. Small sunfowers
are plentiful, the bluebell is equally
abundant in valleys and on mountain
ridges, and in early June there blooms
an unique flower called the shooting
star, shaped like shuttlecock. There
are dozen other pretty flowers, but I
could not learn their names-among
them low-growing mass the clumps
of which are starred over with delicate
white or purple blOOmS.-CentUru.

Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by-and-bye;
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back out mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
Tis not in the pages of story
The heart of its ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile;
For when from her heights he hath won her,
Alas it is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor,
And nothing so loyal as love!
We cannot make bargains for bisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses,
Helps more than the thing which it gets;
For good ieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing; and doing
AS we would be done by, is all.
Through envy, through malice, through hat
ing,
Against the world early and late,
No iot of Our courage abating,
Our part is to work and wait.
And slight is the sting of his troubles
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.
Alice Cary.

boys climbed the pole and carried off
the flag, took it aboard the ship and
hoisted it at the mainmast in basket.
Well, sir, you may believe there was a
time when the captain came on deck in
the morning He was in an awful
stew, and of course the consul, or who
ever was in charge, was tearing mad.
There was a great row, the two boys
were brought up, and the end of it was
they were sentenced to climb the pole
and put the flag back. Then Beresford
said he wouldn't do it. Of course
he would have been dismissed
from the navy for insubordi-
nation, but some one who knew the
family well sent word to his mother,
ndshe telegraphed to him that he must
do it for her sake. There was nothing
he wouldn't do for his mother. When
she came to visit him on the ship he
used to have grand ceremonies and re-
ception-not on board, of course, be-
cause discipline would not allow any
thing to be done there, but on shore.
He thought the world of her, and when
she telegraphed to him he said
he would put the flag back be-
cause of his mothers request. Then
they put it back in grand style. There
was public ceremony, he had a pho

was taken climbing the pole, he and

There was once an aged hermit in the
Egyptian desert who thought it would be
well with him if he had an olive tree near
his cave.
So he planted little tree and thinking it
might want water he prayed to God for rain,
so rain came and watered his olive tree.
Then he thought that some warm sun to
swell its buds would be advisable, so he
prayed, and the sun shone out. Now the
nursing looked feeble, and the old man
deemed it would be we'll for the tree if frost
were to come and brace it, He prayed for
the frost, and hour frost settled that night
on bar and beam
Next be believed that Il hot southerly wind
would suit his tree, and after prayer the south
wind blew upon his olive tree and it died.
Some little while after the hermit visited
a brother hermit, and 10 by his cell door
stood a tlourishing olive tree.
"How came that goodly plant there, broth
?" asked the unsuccessful hermit
II planted, and God blessed it and it grew"
"Ah brother, too, planted an olive, and
when thought it wanted water asked God
to give it rain, and rain came; and when
thought it wanted sun asked and the sun
shone; and when | deemed it needed siren
gthenng prayed and frost came. God gave
me all demanded for my tree as | saw fit
yet it is dead ..D.. .l.
And |, brother" replied the other hermit
81 left my tree in Gods hands, for He knew
what it wanted better than IT,
