In cave in the mountains of Vir-
ginia resides hermit of immense size,
with long white hair and beard. He
is over 50 years of age, and for 40
years has not spoken. When he
wants anything of civilization he in
dicates 1t by signs, but for months at
a time he secretes himself and COM
municates with no one. 1t is said
that he has lost the power of speech
by disuse.
A girl on visit to a fair at Omaha

In the French journals a discussion
has again cropped up as to the value
OF snalls as food. It appears that the
snail (fiellA pomatla) possesses very
nourlshing qualities, and is worthy of
more attention than it has hitherto re-
celved. The analysis of the we'll
known chemist Payen shows that the
snail contains 10 per cent. water, 16
per cent. nitrogen, s per cent. fat, 2
per cent. animal salt, and 4 per cent
OF other constituent parts. The an

good qualities, and used the snail as a

Ore in the Mountain View.

Barney Quigg is in town to-day
looking as bright and smiling as a
basket of chips. The reason for this
is that he recently struck it rich in his
claim-the Mountain View-having
found an lS-inch vein of solid galena
assaying 700 ounces silver per ton.
This was no "blind'' find, either, as
MIR. Quigg and his partners, Judge
Mcbride and Nose Hushman, of Salt
Lake. have been prospecting their
claim for nearly three years, and must
have expended $4,000 upon it. The
vein is supposed to be the easterly
continuation of the great Bullion
lode.

of dry goods is thus given: Damask is
from the city of Demsscus, satin from
Zaytown in China, calico from Calcutta,
and muslin from Mosul; buckram

comes from Fostat, city of the Middle
Ages, from which the modern Cairo is

Cambria; gauzs has its hame from GAIA,
baize from Bajae, dimity from Damietta,
and jeans from Jaen; drugget is derived

from which Tucker street in Bristol is
named. comes from Torque, in Nor
mandy. diaper is not from D'Ypres, but
from the Greek diaspron, figured; velvet
is from the italian vellute, woolly
Latin, vellus-a hide or pelt); shawl is
the Sanscrit sala, floor, for shawls were
first used as carpets and tapestry; ban
danna is from an Indian word, meaning
to bind or tie, because they are tied in
knots before dyeing; ohinz comes from
the Hindoo word chett; delaine is the
French Of "wool."

VARIETIES.

Time and the varying movements OF
changing years have bettered many
things; and fortune returning after
having deserted many, has again placed
them upon solid ground.
A New Yorker had wife in that city,
a second in Brooklyn, third in Jersey

Peace at Columbus, Ind, won q wagon
by riding naked at MONDAY, in an open

The excuse that an Iowa young man
makes for having engaged to marry two
girls is that, knowing the fickleness of
the sex, he supposed that one or the
other would jilt him, and he wanted to
be snre of wife. But neither proved
untrue and, on his choosing between
them, the rejected one brings suit for
damages.
Scranton has two singing societies,
Of about 300 voices each, composed al.
most wholly of Welsh miners and their
families. Both the leaders are daily
toilers in the coal mines, and yet they
have the time and ability to train the
singers to take conspicuous part in
forthcoming music festival in Phil
adelphia.
A fountain in public square of San
Francisco needed painting. An artist
sgreed to do it for nothing, provided
he could take as much time as he pleased
for the job, and erect fence to protect
him from idle curiosity while at work.
The contract was made on these terms.
But it seems that the painter has sold
the surface of the fence to advertisers,
and nobody knows how long he will be
painting the fountain.

What Is New In Wraps.

The new wraps are really magnificent.
One from Pingat is of figured brown
velvet, trimmed with fox fur, put on in
wide borders. A most elegant wrap
shows back and sides of embossed
velvet, garnished with handsome beaded
ornaments, and edged with wide band
of plush, bordered with trimming
composed Of plush. with silk and bead
drop through it.
A Hantenaar cloak of embossed velvet
has the sleeves outlined with rich
beaded and chenille fringe, with side
ornaments of jetted butterflies.
Very handsome are the long seal
coaks, trimmed with dark natural beaver,
plain and pointed. In dolmans the
sleeves are generally composed of the
trimmings. The Partisan handkerchief
muffs is novelty, and for neck-wear
very stylish is the capote or coachman's
sxse, in all the fashionable furs, and
the long talmas, which are perhaps a
little newer,

FreemasOns.

Down to the reign OF English Anne
and the later years Of the long sway of
Louis XIV, 1t may be safely averred
that no apprehension had been excited
and no persecution incurred by any
society not distinctly founded for re-
ligious purpose. Anabaptists had been
put down with cruel severity. Quakers
had been tormented or tolerated, ac-
cording to the caprice of prince or peo-
pie. But in the writings of the eigh-
teenth century we first find mention of
Freemasonry, and then, too, do the bulls
OF the Vatican first begin to illuminate
against an association horrible in the
eyes of the ever. watchful. However
ancient aud illustrious Freemasonry
may be, it was undoubtedly regarded
with worse than suspicion by the
Roman Curia, the Holy Brotherhood of
Spain, and the argus.eyed police of
Paris. It WAS not as rogue of world.
wide renown, but as suspected Free
mason, that Cagliostro, the arch.impos-
tor, was imprisoned in the castle of st.
Angelo, where he died, like a Gagged
bird pining for air and light, just as the
army of the French Republicans res
cuers-marched on Rome. We have
lived to see royal and imperial princes
installed as Grand Masters of the great
est and wealthiest of all societies. nor
do the mysteries OF Hiram and Boaz
offend any outsider less prejudiced than
parish priest OF West Flanders. But,
fifty years ago, the surest Spanish meaa
of subjecting an enemy to lynch law
was to point him out as Freemason to
the hot-headed rabble of Seville, BARGE
Iona or Madrid. All the Year Round.

In November.


Here is the watershed of all the year,
Where, by thoughts space, thoughts do
start anear
That fare most widely forth some to the
mouth
OF Arctic rivers, some to the mellow South.
The gaunt and wrinkled orchard isver
meath
Tho blast, like Lear upon the English heath,
And mossy boughs blow wild that, undis-
tressed,
Another spring, shall hide the cheerful nests
All things are nearer from this chilly crown
The solitude, the white and huddling town;
And next the russet fields, of harvest shorn,
Shines the new wheat that freshens all the
morn.
From out the bursting milkweed, dry and
gray,
The silken argosies are launched away,
To mount the gust, or drift from hill to hill
And plant new colonies by road and rill.
All, wife Of mine, whose clinging hand l
hold,
Shrink you before the New, or at the Old2
And those far eyes that hold the silence
fast
Look they upon the Future, or the Past?

OverdOslng.

Children should consume as little
medicine as possible. If properly fed
and cared for, they throw off illness
readily. Some simple remedy, known
and tested in the family, is all they
require in light attacks of cold, collie, or
the small ailments common to child
hood. To dose infants with drugs is
almost criminal. I am myself one of
large family, all grown to maturity,
and all enjoying good health; yet 1
never remember tho administration of
anything stronger than castor oil or
sweet tincture of rheubarb during our
childish distempers. We we're up with
the dawn and in bed at twilight; we
were led with regularity three times a
day, and only three; there were no
luncheons between meals allowed in our
home. Oatmeal and milk for breakfast,
meat and vegetables for dinner, with
some plain, wholesome pudding and
seasonable fruit, bread and milk ut five
o'clock-this was our bill of fare, varied
only by special indulgence, or on holi-
days or birthdays. Pickles, rich sauces,
cake and pastry, we're unknown except
by name; and we never tasted tea or
coffee until we had reached "years of
discretion" and could decide for our
selves. The result was our good health
then and in after life. But many
mothers and nurses seem never to feel
satisfied as to the health and well. doing
of their little ones unless they have
them "under treatment" They are
perpetually "purging" or cooling" or
"strengthening' the helpless victims of
their solicitude. This is the more to
be deprecated because the great majority
of the so.called ailments with which
very young children are troubled are
the direct effects either of bad feeding
or OF ill.management OF some sort, or
are in themselve efforts of nature to get
rid Of the stomach hardening Or irritat.
ing masses with which children are fed
or physicked. The practice of admister-
ing sedatives to infants is particularly
reprehensible, and ought to be strongly
denounced. There Is no sedative which
can be used with safety in the case Of
infants, except by medical men versed
in the action Of drugs and familiar will
the indicative phenomena of health and
disease. The use of cordials and drams
is simply a reckless play with poisons.

Enjoying Hospitality.

There is talent in being entertained,
ju,t as there is to 'ent in entertaining.
If one and all of us would cultivate this
gift, we would have more and heartier
invitations. In watching one Of the
most successful of visitors, learned
these simple rules: Be always ready
for everything. If you must fail in any
one particular, never let it be breakfast.
When you are late for this meal you
keep back the whole households plans
for the day. Always look interested,
and, if possible, say often how aeree-
able you think things. 1t isimuch
easier to work for a friends pleasure if
one thinks she really is getting it and
appreciating the trouble taken. Re-
member that what is great delight to
you is excessively stupid and tiresome
to your hostess. The show building
that to you is new and beautiful has
been seen by her many times and has
lost its charm. If you seem pleased,
then she feels paid for her trouble but
if you look as if it was an honor for you
to even glance at anything, then she is
disgusted and disappointed, and goes
out with much less zest the following
day to show you the next s'lion" on her
list. Girls have great way of laugh
ing at "the beaux." When we stay
with people we naturally chime in with
their ridicule. Never do this. We
can abuse our own friends like pick
pockets, but let anybody else suggest
that they are not perfection, then we
are up in arms. Try to agree with the
plans of your hostess. If she opposes
one, then drop it immediately, however
much you may want it. She has some
reason for her decision that she may
NOT care to give. The etiquette, for
instance, of different places are so diff
ferent that what in one town may be
very harmless, in another may not be
SO we'll. Be always assured that she
desires you to do what you want. She
on her side is as anxious to be consid-
cred to entertain well as you can be to
be we'll entertained. Socially we all
want to be as near the top of the ladder
in every department as possible. I
you follow these few suggestions it will
90 far toward making you charming
guest a delight to everybody you
visit
