A Senator's Industry.

United States Senator Dennis, of Mary
land, has about ten acres of land put down
in pond, that is fed by salt water. This
pond makes the largest terrapin farm proba
bly, in the world, and is the source of a heavy
income. In it terrapins are raised for the
market, and it is said that over $4,000
counts" have been sold from it in one year
1t may be noted, for the benefit of the un-
initiated, that count" is terrapin over
seven inches in length. and that counts
are sold by number, bringing from $40 to S14
a dozen, or about 81 each. In market they
retail for about $50 per dozen, and in the
fashionable restaurants are served for S1.5O o
plate-one terrapin filling about three plates.
Smaller terrapins are sold at lower prices,
but all bring good figures, and are diamond
backs" in fact as well as name There are
several terrapin ponds in Maryland, and
they grow in Importance as "terrapin stew.
Maryland STYLE" is becomming more and
more popular among high livers. The
thriving city or Chrisfield, in Maryland,
ships terrapins by the thousands, along with
its millions of oysters.

What Lord BeaconsfieId Thought o
Women.

The action of women on our destiny is I'M
ceasing.-Sybil.
Where there are crowned heads there are
also some charming women.-Endymion.
Women clone can organize drawing
room: man succeeds sometimes in library
! |-Coningby.
, A reputation for success has as much in
/ fuence with women as a reputation for
wealth has with men.-Coningby.
! Male firmness is very often obstinacy. Wo-
all qualities. They have tact.-Coningby.
, Our strong passions break into thousand
purposes; women have one. Their love is
dangerous, but their hate is fatal.-Alroy.
In the present day, and especially among
women one would almost suppose that
health was state of unnatural existence
The Young Duke.
There is no modification, however keen,
no misery, however desperate, which the
spirit of women cannot in some degree light
en- or alleviate.-Coningby.
The woman who is talked about is gener-
ally virtuous, and she is only abused because
she devotes to one the charms which all
wish to enjoy-The Internal Marriage.
Talk to women as much as you can. This
is the best school. 1t is the way to gain
f1ueney, because you need not care what you
say, and had better not be sensible.-COnta-
rini Fleming.
believe women are loved much more for
themselves than is supposed. Besides, wo-
man should be content if she is loved that
is the point; and she is not to inquire how
far the accidents of life have contributed to
the result-EndymiOn.

No Cure for Liars.

for cure.

ACROSS THE STREET.

When dawn was lighting the rosy heaven,
At four in summer i'll winter seven.
Ere Phubus glowed.
Or yet the city has turned in its bed,
There by the window with needle and thread
She sat and sewed.
And AS the hand so busily piled,
\ baby boy played soft by her side
The whole day long;
And sad and sweet in the evening mild
Were heard the voices of mother and child
In gentle song.
Mid toll and trouble and dire despair,
The child's smile solaccd the mothers care
Thro dreary years;
For the little one had his fathers face
That faded away from her fond embrace
With burning tears
But there came day when the song was still
And the needle stopped at the window-sill,
For the babe was low
And there came a day when the boy was dead
And cold and pale TN his little bed
Where the violets blow
No longer the woman sits and Sews,
No longer the tear of sorrow flows
Or memories throng
For the gentle tones of mother and child
Are blended again in the evening mild
In angel song.

Social Changes IN Germany.
Pail Mall Gazette. |

Extraordinary changes have taken place
an the Fatherland within the last...twenty
years, and none is more apparent than the
altered attitude and behavior of what we are
pleased to call "the people" When I first
visited Germany twenty years ago it was the
fashion for old and young to tutoyer the do
mestic servants and workpeople generally.
Now address little lad playing in the
gutter as "Du" and he will turn his back on
you without reply. Formerly domestic SER
wants in Germany were addressed, slipshod,
oppressed beings, often worse lodged than
the cattle. The other day an English lady
staying in German boarding house COM
planned to the mistress that she was disturbed
by the cough of housemaid whose bed
room was near to her own. II am very sorry"
was the reply; "but it is impossible for me
to change my servants rooms They will not
submit to be changed from place to place" !"
This was in a provincial town, and the maids
were rough peasant girls from the the heart
OF the country.
Formerly an unpleasant subservience was
observed by the working classes toward the
upper. Now we find that, while there is
much more politeness than before among the
working people themselves, no difference
whatever is made in addressing those in a
superior social position. These things are on
the surface only, but they point to funda-
mental changes of very great significance,
and while we find among working people
more pOliteness exercised toward each other
and a selfasserting attitude toward social
superiors, increased-self-1espect is testified in
the great attention now paid to personal ap-
pearance by even the poorest classes 1t is
impossible for any one who travelled here,
whether north or south, east or west, twenty
or even ten years ago, not to be struck by
the improved outward appearance of the
people now seen And here let me point to
a very interesting conclusion to be therefrom
deduced. There is no doubt whatever that
the Germans learned many things during
the war of 187O-71. Good manners, personal
nicely, taste in dress, were some of the things
learned during the soourn of the German
soldiers on French soil, and last but not
least, an ideal equality, and familiarity
with what doubtless appeared to many an
ideal social condition. These things Ger
mans cannot forget nor can they forget the
impression produced on French minds by
the iron discipline, brutality it must be call
ed, of their military system. That the dis
cipline is detested at home is sufficiently
evidenced by the spread of emigration, and
the necessity the Government is under of
looking after its subjects papers and keep
ing them well under its eye.

4 little peach in an orchard grew;
4 little peach of emerald hue,
Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew,
1t grew.
One day, passing the orchard through,
That little peach dawned on the view
Of Jonny Jones and his sister Sue
Them two
p at the peach a club they threw;
Down from the stem OH which it grew
Fell the little peach of emerald hue.
Mon Dieu.
She took a bite and John a cnew,
And then the trouble began to brew
Trouble the doctor couldn't subdue.
Too true.
nder the turf where the daises grew
They planted John and his sister Sue.
And their little souls to the angels flew.

Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew

4 DAY.

Sunrise fresh, and the daises small
Silver the lawn with their starlets fair
But the blossoms of noon shall be stately and tall
Tropical, luscious, OF odors rare:
All well!
Noon shall be gorgeous beyond compare.
Noon, and the sky is 5inding glare;
The flowers have tainted while we have strayed
We wandered too far to tend them there,
And they dropped for Lack of the dew and shade
All well
Evening shall right tlse mistake we made.
Evening; It's chilly in meadow and glade.
The last pale rose has died in the west;
The happy hour is long delayed
Our wandering is but a long unrest:
All well
We will home to the fircsde. Home is best.
Nothing but ashes gray? No blest
Faint glimmer of light on roof or wall"
weary search was this day-long quest,
And On empty hands the shadows fall:
All well!
Let us creep up to bed and forget it all.

Seven Girls and Their Diamonds.
Boston Journal. |

Boston Journal
Seven young ladies were perceived in a
horse-car of whom not one had both gloves
on and none were wholly bare-handed OF
these four had gloves on their right hands
and three on their left, and in every instance
the ungloved hand lay in the lap above the
other. All of these seven bare hands had
diamond rings upon them, and whenever any
alterations were needed by the hair or raj
ment of the ladies in every instance the un-
gloved hand was employed to bestow them,
and in the necessary movements the stones
flashed and glittered very much And when,
as happened in process of time, the seven
young ladies left the car one after the other.
four of them waved their left hands to the
conductor to direct him to stop and the other
three agitated their right hands, and again
the rings sparkled quite conspicuously:: All
of which was very curious and interesting to
the scientific mind

Steel making in China.

Steel making is an industry of consider
able magnitude on the Upper Yantze. and
the principal place to which the product is
sent for shipment and distribution is Tientsin.
Three kinds of steel are recognized by the
Chinese metallurgists, that which is pro-
duced by adding unwrought to wrought
iron while the mass is heated that made by
subjecting fire to pure iron, and that which
is called native steel. The different names
for steel among the Chinese are twang-kung
or ball steel, from its rounded form; kwan-
ang or sprinkied steel, and wei-tee, or false
steel

A Hint to Coffee Drinkers.
philadelphia Press
St. LOuiS Renuhlican |


While dining out" one day recently, the
coffee, which, though the last, was by no
means the least of the good things furnished,
was so unusually excellent that it was the
subject of general remark, and word in the
ear of the charming hostess after retiring to
the drawing room called forth the following
explanation of how the good result was OBJ
tanned: The coffee furnished was clear
amber in color, rich in flavor, and deliciously
aromatic To give the hostess method fair
test it will be no more than just to don ones
apron and adjourn to the kitchen. The cof-
fee to be used is Maracaibo and Java, equal
parts of each, finely ground. One large cup
of coffee, one cup of cold water, one well
beaten egg, mix thoroughly; add four cups
of cold water and place over the fire. After
it reaches the boiling point allow five min
utes to finish the process; strain and serve
Immediately. This seems very simple pro-
cess, but in the hands of a servant, if al
lowed to boil to long, it would be easily
spoiled.

How to Do UP Lace Curtains.

Having washed and dried them in the
usual manner, starch and redry them. Any
number may be prepared in this way, thus
saving the trouble of making starch every
time that you wish to put them on the
frame Taking the number that you are to
use at once, dip them into cold blueing water
and rum them through the wringer. This
will not remove the starch it will only put
them into condition that when stretched
and dry the meshes of the lace will be clear
and free from starch, which will not be the
case if taken directly out of hot starch.

futile treatment for long period, to have
worms in one of his lungs that unquestion-

case, and not to allow their children to kiss

Singular Mental Disturbance.

An English scholar during holiday ex-
curson in the Hartz mountains subjected
himself to severe physical strain, which
produced singular mental disturbance
He was ON his feet from morning till night
and in the course of the days wanderings
made several arduous ascents, taking no rest
and neither eating or sleeping. At night
when he reached place where he could
supply his needs he was unable, to his great
astonishment, to recollect single word of
the German language, although he ordinarily
spoke it with fluency. His memory did not
fail him in any other respect, he knew his
own language as well as ever, and recalled
perfectly all the incidents of the day. AS
soon as he had thoroughly rested. and had
eaten the food which he had procured by
signs, his German returned to him COM
pletely.

No, it is not, declare!
What Is waking but giving
Endless time to ones back hair"
Full nine hours are passed in slumber,
And for eating one takes three,
While for dressing two's the number,
Ten hours only are left free.
Alter morning calls and shopping
Lunch-time cometh all too soon;
In upon one friends keep dropping

When one puts ones filigrees on,
Some bright hours at balls are spent;
But it's always out of season,
And forty days all told are Lent.
