Rnda fashionable Women.

BY incidents like the one related be-
low Oscar Wilde justifies his assertion
that American society is rude even to
boorishness: In Saratoga last week I
stopped at the States and Congress Hall
two of the best hotels, which one
would suppose would be patronized by
cultured people. While talking with
Judge Brady there great crowd came
around US, mostly women, and, finding
it bore to be thus stared at, moved
on into the Office. There they came
flocking in after us. l went to the bill
liard-room, but found no refuge there.
The women rushed there-ladies in silks
and grapes and laces, with diamonds in
their ears, bringing their daughters with
them. To balk the pursuit utterly, l
fled to the bar.room. Will you believe
me that they came there-in ten min
utes fifty to one hundred of them-fill.
ing up the place almostp 1t seemed to
me most painful and dreadful thing
the bold-faced staring and half-audible
comment. 1t seemed much worse than
the conduct of abandoned women. Why
didn't say, 'What'l you have, ladies?''
Oh, it wouldn't have done any good,
and all the country would have said
had insulted the ladies at Saratoga

The Golden Paradise of New Mexico,

A story, about which there is a fas-
cination it is impossible to resist when
you hear men tell it, says the Las Cru
sas Republican, is that of the ''Home of
Cold" Somewhere in southwestern
New Mexico, in the Sierra Madre, it is
said there is a wonderful valley. Small,
inclosed in high, rocky walls, and &C.
cessible only by secret passage, which
is known to but few, is this extraordi-
nary place. 1t is about ten acres in ex-
tent, has running through it a stream
which waters it thoroughly, and makes
it perfect paradise, with its exquisite
flowers and beautiful trees. In it are
thousands of birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Running across it is a ledge
of pure gold about thirty feet wide,
which glistens in the sunlight like a
great golden belt. The stream crosses
this ledge, and, as it runs, murmurs
around blocks of yellow metal as others
do around pebbles. The ledge of gold
is supposed to be solid gold, and to run
down into the center of the earth. The
legend is of Indian origin, and around
it clusters number of Indian stories,
in which the name of the Inflated Mon.
tezuma occurs frequently. The descend
ants of the Aztecs believe firmly that
the day will come when Montezuma
will return and free them from the de-
scendants of the Conquestodores. They
believe that the money necessary for
this work will be taken from the Mad
re d'Oro. ......--,.

The hooking Bird.

The hooking bird commences to sing
at the age Of seven or eight weeks.
The first notes are low and unfinished,
but as he grows Older his voice increases
in volume and compass, and his apti-
tude 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 grove arc only
the chorus. During the utterance Of
his song he appears to be in perfect
ecstasy of delight; his constant, grace
full 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 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 opportuni.
ties for mimicking are much enhanced
by the variety of the new sounds
which he constantly hears. He i'm.
proves 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 re.
peat anything from snatch of the
latest grand opera to the intinitesimal
twitter of the humming bird. He sings
the songs of other cage-birds with a
superiority altogether notifying to
them, and his clucks oftentimes can
make the lost chicken forget it's 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 melting 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 to feed an album
dance of fresh green food and insects.
The cage should be carefully kept clean,
and plenty of gravel strewn on the bot
tom. SO as to keep the feet in order
They are very fond of bathing, which
desire should be daily gratified. 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 add
ed. Ants eggs soaked and added to the
food are always bene6cial; meal-worm
or two should be daily given.
The ailments these birds are most liz
bic to are constipation and diarrhea.
For constipation, change the food, Civ
ing plenty of lettuce or other green food
and berries, and give couple of meal
worms dipped in olive or sweet oil; the
latter will usually effect cure. Dia-
rrhea may be cured by feeding bread
soaked in boiled milk and sprinkled
with cayenne pepper.-Hotden's Bird

Home Education,

AVA0 ouQCdtlUus
The following rules are worthy of be-
ing printed in letters of gold, and placed
in q conspicuous place in every house.
hold
From our children's earliest infancy,
inculcate the necessity of instant obedi-
ence.
Unite firmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that
you mean what you say.
Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give what
you say.
If you tell child to do something,
show him how to do it, and see that it
is DONE
Always punish your child for wilfully
disobeying you, but never punish him in
anger.
Never let them know that they vex
you, or make you lose your self-conl-
mand.
If they give way to petulance or ILL
temper, wait till they are calm; then
gently reason with them on the impro-
priety of their conduct.
Remember that q little present pun
ishment, when the occasion arises, is
much more effcctual than the threaten
ing of a greater punishment should the
fault be renewed.
Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
On no account allow them to do at
one time what you have forbidden un-
der the same circumstances, at another.
Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good, is to be good.
AccustOm them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
Never allow tale bearing.
Teach them self-dcnial, not self-in-
diligence. Practice the above.

A Pretty jewess

A Long Branch correspondent writes
There is one pretty little Jewess here;
there are score Of pretty ones, in fact,
but this one is certainly beautiful. Her
face is q perfect marvel of nature, and
her form rivals art in symmetry. That
is to say, there is not defect in it.
Her hair is the darkest chestnut, almost
black, and her eyes under the dark
brows are dark, and timidly languid.-
Her complexion is rich, light olive,
and her mouth is perfect. The we'll
bred-looking nose is in perfect harmony.
In short, her face is poets dream
The pose Of this girls head is that of a
queen. When she goes down the sand
she walks as if there were nobody there
but she, and yet she could not be un-
conscious of the fact that all eyes in her
vicinity are turned upon her. In her
natty bathing suit of blue and red, and
the red silk tnrban over all, she is hand
somer than most pretty women can
seem while in their best attire. I wish
= could tell you how lovely this girl in
her teens is, but if l could the hotel
would probably be overcrowded. If she
is pretty when she goes in the water.

The Ethics of Elopement.
Some Facts that People Subject to lndiscre1ions
Should Keep in Mind.

It is greatly to be regretted that so
important and popular social custom
as elopement should, as rule, be con-
Quoted according to individual caprice,
instead of being controlled by the die
tates that experience has, If not fornlu-
lated, at least distinctly implied. If wise
presidents were followed there would
be an immediate decrease in the num-
Der of such stern collateral facts as shot
guns, broken heads. and perilous leaps
from the fourth-story windows of hotels.
With the hope of relieving the public
mind of great lead of undesirable
scandal the following suggestions are
respectfully offered:
1t is not an injury to society for two
unmarried people to elope, for society
is entitled to early information as to
who are the fools within it's borders,
and an elopement is proof positive re-
garding at least two people.
A married woman may be Desperate
ly tired of husband who is too healthy
to meet her views by dying early; new
ertheless, she should scrupulously avoid
clipping with man younger than her
self, for a young man who will steal one
married woman will not hesitate to steal
another when opportunity allows.
A man who elopes with a married
woman for the sake Of the portable
property which the lady thinks she can
remove from her husbands possession
should insist upon having schedule of
the property in advance. Terrible mis-
takes have occurred through neglect of
this rule, for married woman whose
mind is full of man who is not her
husband is not as particular a. she
should be about material affairs; so
some men who have imagined them
selves clipping with large package of
government bonds have found the sup
posed treasure to be gorgeously-execut-
ed certificates of non-dividend paving
oil stocks.
If married man wants to elope with
An unmarried woman he should be care
full to select one who has no brothers,
for as such man is always a coward
common sense should teach him to have
some regard for his peace of mind.
A girl who elopes with a>married man
should select one who has no children,
for under the law her lover will be re-
sponsible for the support of his children
while they remain minors, and what
chance is there for her to crafty the ex-
pensive desires peculiar to her class il
the man on whom she is dependant
must support ready-made family be-
fore she can legally demand money
from him?
We commend these few practical
hints to the increasing number Of peo-
pie who have q taste for irregular part
nerships. Compliance with them will
save them as well as the community
from much deplorable annoyance

Wealth of the United States

Sss@VAA VI VAo 0uAVON kVTVV1s
The wealth of the United States has
multiplied twelvefold during the past
forty years, and if it were equally dis
tributed among the Inhabitants each
would have nine hundred and ninety
dollars. In the same time the wealth of
the United Kingdom has only doubled,
and from being five times greater than
that of this country, it is now smaller by
six millions of dollars.
While the influx of emigrants has in
creased the aggregate, the rapid rise of
population has kept down the ratio Of
wealth for each inhabitant.
There is $5,205, 100000 invested in
railways, or one hundred and four dol
lars TOR each person, and if the agricul-
tural interests of the country we're di-
vided, each person would raise fifty-two
bushels Of grain year; the value of all
his crops would be forty dollars, and
his share of the cattle would be thirty
six. Every day Of the year, excepting
Sundays, the increase of public wealth
in railways is one million dollars.
Manufactures have increased tivefold
in value since 1850, and the most re-
markable increase during the past ten
years has been in the production of iron
and cotton, the former having risen
from 1850, 900 to 4, 16O, 900 tons, and the
consumption of raw fibre used in cotton
having increased from $50, 900 to 91l,-
ooo, 900 pounds.
Shipping has, of. course, fallen off,
and while there were seventeen tons for
each inhabitant in 1860, there are now
only nine tons. There has, neverthe-
less, been . steady increase Of trade,
the value Of imports and exports having
doubled since 1860, and multiplied ten.

Salt Water Etiquette.

Most every one in Washington knows
Judge Pat HAYES, of Nebraska. The
judge is q genial, pleasant fellow, and,
though having worn for years the ju-
dicial ermine, is not a whit like the av-
erage jurist- stern, stolid and indiffer-
ent. On the contrary he is, to use
common phrase, zone of the boys.''
One day last week the Judge, by way of
escaping the heat of the city, HE'D him
to Ocean City. where he INDUCED in
saltwater baths to his hearts content.
The second day after his arrival he put
on his handsome spangled bathing suit,
and was the object of admiration of all
the other bathers. He cavorted around
in the water with the agility of cat,
and many complimentary remarks were
made about the Judges excellent SWIM
ming qualities. Two or three gentle
men whom the Judge knew were .duck-
ed' by him, and they all took it good
naturally. Bye-and-bye, the Judge
espied handsome lady who would bal
ance the scales at 100. Going gently
up behind her he caught the lady around
the waist, and with a tremendous effort
throw her half somersault The lady
remained under the water about half q
minute. When she came up and had
wiped the water from her eyes she turn
ed toward the judge and poured tor
rent of abuse upon him. The Judge
apologized the best he could and walk
ed away. He had gone over near his
male friends, who had stood off for
some distance witnessing the circus bus
mess between the fat lady and the Judge,
when another gentleman came up, and

PugnaciOus.

The ability with which IN alligator
uses its tail, and the tenacious hold it
has upon life, are both shown by the
following story. A gentleman named
Renfroe, says the Dublin (Ga.) Post. left
Dublin late after supper and started for
his home. which is half a mile beyond
Rocky Creek-a stream which is infest-
ed with alligators.
He had crossed the creek and was
near his house, where he had dozen
young pigs confined in pen. The moon
was in the zenith, and the night was al.
most as bright as day.
Suddenly his horse received ponder
GUS blow on the shoulder from the tail
OF an alligator, knocking the animal en-
tirely out of the road.
The alligator did not follow up the
blow, but stood in q threatening atti-
tude, with his huge mouth stretched
open wide enough to take in the end OF
barrel.
Mr.. Renfroe took rail from the fence
and thrust it into the monsters throat.
AS quick as light the alligator closed on
the rail and hurled Mr.. Renfroe against
the fence, hurting him badly and snap
ping the rail like chalk pipe-stem.
He then called to his family to bring
him his gun, pistol and axe While
waiting for his weapons he amused HIM
self by pitching fence rails into the alli-
gators mouth. The alligator broke !,
dozen as easily as he broke the first.
When his weapons came it was only
after MIR. Renfroe had fired at the crea-
ture sixteen shots, and after repeated
blows with the axe, that it gave up the
fight.
During the fight the monster beloved
so that the earth trembled. He was over
10 feet long and extraordinarily large
for his length, it being decided that he
would weigh fully three hundred pounds.
1t was discovered that he broke his tail
when he struck the horse, and that was
probably the reason he stopped offensive
operations. The horse was iniured-it
may be permanently. ss

The Discovery Of Diamonds in Brasil. 4

Often, down to 1929, the gold hum
tiers had noticed in the bottoms Of the
bowls in which they washed the river
sands, little bright crystals to which
they attached no value. The brilliancy
of these crystals, their hardness and
their regular form, as if shaped by the
hand, had indeed attracted the atten-
ton of the miners, and many had saved
them to use as counters in play; but
gold alone had any value in the eyes OF
these adventures. At this epoch, &C.,
cording to the least uncertain tradition,
a monk, who had taken part in the
search for diamonds in India, recognize
ed the nature of these counters. He
told his discovery to a certain Bernardo
da Fonseca Lobo, who made it known
in his name to the Portuguese Govern
ment. The King immediately took pos
session of all the lands where the pres
ence of diamonds had been recognized
and where it could be suspected.
Bernardo received as his reward the
title of royal notary and the command
of the militia of the most important city
of the region. The name of the monk
was forgotten. I do not believe that
the name of either could have been pop
ular at Minas, for their discovery, which
threw hundreds of millions into the
treasury of the Kings of Portugal, was
the origin of one of tho most despotic
rules that any country ever had to en-
dure.
The first diamonds were found in the
sands of the brooks, and these sands, or
to use the Portuguese expression, which
has passed into nearly all languages,
cascalhos, still constitute the beds that
are principally worked. But beds of an
entirely different nature, situated, like
mines of metals, in the midst of the
strata, and of corresponding depth,
have been brought to notice in later
years.-P0pular Science Monthly.
