Protecting His Character,

Entering the shop of his tailor the
other day he said:
"Sir, 1 owe you $780,
eyes, sir, you do"
"And have owed it for year."
"You have"
"And this is the fifth postal card you
have sent me regarding the debt"
81 think it is the fifth"
"Now, sir, while 1 cannot pay tn
debt for perhaps another year, l pro-
pose to protect my character as far as
possible. Here are twelve two-cent
stamps. You can use them in sending
me twelve monthly statements of ac-
count, and can thus save your postal
cArds and my feelings at the same
time"
1t is said that the tailor has credited
the twenty-four cents on account, and
feels that he has secured more of tn,
debt than he had any reason to hop.

Brilliant MeteOrS.

A surprising number of large and
brilliant meteOrs have made their APP
pearance within the last two or three
weeks. On December 20 a meteor was
seen in New Hampshire shooting
across the sky in broad daylight. A
few nights afterward very large me-
teor was seen in Connecticut. On
New Years eve brilliant fire ball,
which burst into fragments, was seen
from various places in New England.
On New Years night, just before the
snowstorm set in, flash of light in the
sky, believed to have been caused by
the passage of large meteor, was seen
in this city. On Wednesday night a
big meteor was seen shooting over the
State of Illinois. producing a startling
illumination, and leaving red trail of
light in its wake. The earth is being
continually bombarded by small me
teors, which are called shooting stars,
and many of which are probably no
bigger than hickory nuts, so that the
intense heat generated by their pas
sage through the atmosphere quickly
consumes them; but big meteoric
masses, like those recently seen, which
illuminate the heavens during their
passage, and sometimes fall to the
earth with terrific force, are rare.
Whence they come is mystery the
astronomers have not solved. AT any
rate, nobody need be alarmed. The
chance of being struck by lightning is
many times greater than that of being
hit by meteor-N. Y. San.

The Longest Bridge.

The longest bridge now in actual use
is the one that crosses the st. Lawrence
river at MOntreal-a tubular structure
resting on massive stone piers. One
opening measures $50 feet, and twenty
four others 240 feet each. Its total
length is 9,437 feet, of which the tubu-
lar part measures 1000 feet. The
grandest suspension. bridge in the
world is the one now nearly completed
across the East river, between New
York and Brooklyn, at the enormous
cost Of $13,708,026, which will reach
about SIS, 100000 before it is finished
and equipped. 1t is $3.50 feet in length.
Another enormous suspension bridge,
which will eventually measure more
than the one Just named, is the new
bridge across the Forth, at Queensbury,
Scotland, to be completed in 1882. The
Forth is rather more than mile wide
at this point, and the necessary ap-
proaches will make the entire struc-
ture about one and one-third miles
long. A large part of it will rest on
piers, but it will contain two suspen-
sion spans, one of which will be the
same length as the main span of the
New York and Brooklyn bridge.
There is a bridge over the Ohio, at
Louisville, $3.50 feet in length. There
are the Barkersburg bridge, West Vir-
ginia, 7,046 feet; the st. Charles bridge,
over the Missouri, 6,536 feet; bridge
over the Delaware, 1920 feet; bridge
over the Rhine, at Mayence, $3.50 feet;
bridge over the river Tongabudha, near
Bombay, India, $3.50 feet; bridge across
the Missouri, at Omaha, $500 feet;
bridge over the Mississippi, at Quincy,
2,79O feet, and the railway suspension
bridge, at Niagara, 1920 feet.

1t is matter of great surprise that
so many farmers allow the liquid con-
tents of their barnyards to be washed
away into creeks and rivers instead of
utilizing it in fertilizing their land.
Nor will it ever be otherwise until
proper means are taken to prevent it.
There certainly would be no great
trouble in doing so. All that is neces-
sary is to dig round pit or cistern of
sufficient size just outside the barn
yard and wall it up with stone, firmly
embedded in cement mortar to make it
watertight. A trench or sort Of blind
ditch about a foot in depth-the sides
of which to be also walled with stone
should then be dug all along the
lower side of the yard, close inside the
fence, for the purpose of conducting
the liquid from the yard to the cistern,
from which it is to be pumped or emp
tied as needed, into a five-barrel cask,
placed in the hind end of a wagon to be
hauled to wherever wanted. A hole
should have been previously bored into
the cask, near it's lower heading, from
which there should extend a piece of
rubber hose to connect it with dis
tributer suspended from the rear end of
the wagon by means of iron rods, the
distributor to be made of four-inch
pump stock, five feet in length, closed
at both ends, and perforated with
quarter-inch holes at short intervals
the whole length of the bottom, for the
purpose of distributing the liquid over
the land. With such a simple fix it is
an easy matter to distribute the liquid
as fast as accumulated, and it is par
ticularly beneficial to grass land at any
time when the grass is not large
enough to be injured by being driven
over. BY this means, and by carefully
saving and utilizing all other manurial
material found on the premises, we
verify believe that on a majority of
farms the most of the money now being
spent in the purchase of fertilizers
could be saved Baltimore Sun.

TattOOing in japan.

The operation of tattooing, as con
Quoted in Japan, is at once curious and
painful. The process is performed by
professional skin-marker. whose shop
is adorned with mighty pictures of
flying dragons, fish and eagles, and
with a female portrait, delineated in
bright colors on the sliding paper
screens of the wall. Two ladies of the
establishment are in attendance, pre-
pairing the pigment which is to be rub
bed into the incised lines upon the sub
ject's arm, to make him beautiful for
ever" while he obtains solace from
short pipe charged with bird's-eye, and
another young woman, with banjo
or guitar, does her best to alleviate his
torment by the strains of japanese
music.

Pure-Bred Stock.

AS rule pure-bred stock is not the
most profitable for farmers to keep.
Many who have trIsl to breed herd of
|pure blood animals have failed. The
cost to begin with is large. The writer
recently visited herd of Jersey cattle,
some of the COWS in which had cost
many hundreds of dollars. The pro-
| luct in flesh and milk from these ami
&nals is not so much over that of the
grade COW as to warrant the prices
paid. The management that such
close bred stock requires is much
greater than that of grade stock; that
IS crosses between the pure blood and
he native stock. Pure blood animals
and herds, like the one above men,
tioned, are of value as breeding
centres, from which the great mass of
common stock can be built up. At a
low estimate the value of the grade
product can be raised SIS or $50 each,
he first season. 1t may be that a far
ner with large herd of grades thus
produced can afford to keep two or
hree pure blood animals for further
Improvement of the herd, but In many
cases it will be better to replenish the
bure blood from one of the centres of
|uch stock. 1t is national blessing that
fancy farmers" as they are sometimes
Falled, are pleased to make such large
nvestmentsin pure blood stock, for by
his means the supply of any breed is
kept up. 1t would be calamity if
rom any cause these carefully man.

CLIPPED BEEF IN BUTTER.-Shave
dried beef very thinly either with a
knife or inverted plane. Put into a
pan enough butter to cover the bottom
when melted and then cupful of
shaved beef. Dredge with pepper.
! Stir about. When fairly hot through
it is done. May be served heaped up
on thin toast or in individual deep
dishes.
RICE BREAD.-Rice bread makes a
pleasing variety at the breakfast table.
Take pint of well-cooked rice, half
pint of -four, the yolks of four eggs,
two tablespoonfuls of butter melted,
one pint of milk, and half a teaspoon
full of salt; beat these altogether; then
lastly, add the whites of the four eggs
which you have beaten to a stiff froth.
Bake in shallow pans or in gem tins.
Serve warm.
CUP CAKE.-Put three even coffee
cupfuls of flour into a sieve with one
even teaspoonful of soda, two tea
spoOnfuls cream tartar; sift it on q
large dish, break three eggs into the
pan. heat well, then add one and a halI
cupfuls granulated sugar, half cupful
soft butter, stir all till light and
creamy, then add one cupful milk, stir
a few times only; now add gradually
the flour, beat well, flavor with lemon
or almond; it will make two moderate
sized cakes; throw handful of cur
rants or stoned raisins into it.
PEA SOUP.-A pound Of peas will
make gallon of soup. The peas
should be washed and soaked in cold
water over night, then be cooked in
five pints Of water, with gentle SIM
mering. A pound of beef or ham
2bone may be boiled; for seasoning, add
IAN onion with few cloves stuck in it,
salt to taste, and about forty whole
grains of pepper, An ounce or two of
sugar will add greatly to the richness
of this, as it does to almost all soups.
AT the end of three hours simmering,
pass the soup through wire sieve or
colander, with the aid of potato
masher. Fry brown some squares of
stale bread in lard or drippings, and
add just before serving, or serve these
rroutc&s, as they are called, separately,
to be added at pleasure. Bean-soup
may be made in a similar manner

FOR The FARM AND HOME.


Dried bark of sassafras root put
around dried fruit will protect it from
worms.
Slightly dingy furniture may be
made to look like new by applying a
coat of pure oil.
To remove oils and varnish from
silk fabrics use benzine, ether, and
soap very cautiously.
To clean and polish tortoise-shell,
use drop or two of sweet oil, and rub
it in thoroughly with the ball of the
thumb.
To remove spots from furniture take
four ounces of vinegar, two ounces of
sweet oil, one ounce OF turpentine. Mix
and apply with flannel cloth.
To cleanse porcelain saucepans, fill
them half full of hot water and put in
the water tablespoonful of powdered
borax, and let it boil. If this does not
remove all the stains, scour well with
cloth rubbed with soap and borax.
To clean decanters, take some soft
brown or blotting paper, wet and soap
it and roll it up in small pieces and
put into the decanter with some warm
water. Shake well and then rinse with
clear cold water ; wipe the outside
with dry cloth, and let the decanter
drain.

"What Was 1t You Said.o

No man, says an English writer, ever
enjoyed life more keenly than Anthony
Trollope. He was full of common
ense, yet ludicrously obstinate and
perverse; roaring and spluttering, and
wholly incapable of argument. Once
he and party of friends were in con-
clave at Henley. Same subject of i'm
portance was being considered, and
some one made a >upg.s ion. Troll
lope, engaged in conversation at the

The Citadel, Cairo, was in 1911 the
scene of the massacre of the last OF the
Mamelukes by Mohammed Ali, deed
of base treachery, but of consummate
and successful policy; coup detat, in
fact. The Mamelukes had risen from
the position of slaves to that of sui
tans. The Circassian dynasty pro-
duced race of military princes who
waged war with the Ottoman sultans.
The last but one, Sultan Ghoree, was
slain in bats II Syria, and his success.
sor, Toman Boy, was routed on the
plain between Cairo and Heliopolis.
He was taken captive and hanged, and
his head stuck on the malefactors' gate
way, Bah Zooaylen. Though the SUI
preme power had thus passed away
from them, the Mameluke aristocracy
still maintained their ancient valor,
till their brilliant cavalry was routed
by Napoleon at the battle Of the Pyra-
mids, and but a small remnant left.
These Mameluke mobiles had helped
Mohammed Ali to the Pashalik, but it
is supposed that they had changed their
minds, and were plotting to destroy
him. At all events, having used them
as the ladder of his ambition, he found
it expedient to get rid of them. He
therefore invited them all to represent
within the citadel, when Pasha was
to be invested with some military
command. -Four hundred and seventy
of these magnificent beings accordingly
rode up in great state, but when they
turned to depart they found the gates
closed, and from every corner MUIR
derous fire of musketry rained upon
them. From this horrible carnage one
alone escaped, namely, Amyn Bey,
who forced his horse to leap the ram
part, fall of forty feet. Happily he
lighted on heap Of rubbish, and
though the horse was killed, the man
escaped, and giving himself into the
care of the Arabs, found protection
during the ensuing days, when the
houses of Mamelukes were plundered,
and all their relations, numbering about
1000, were murdered, and the gate of
Bah Zooayleh literally covered with
those CHASTITY trophies, the heads of the
slain. 1t is said that from this final
massacre one other man escaped, Sulei-
man Aga by name, who disguised
himself in the long blue robe of an
Arab woman, and thus yelled, escaped
his foes. This man had been the
Pasha's prime favorite, and the story
goes that, without showing any special
disgust at his friends treachery, he re-
turned to his post of favorite, and even
repeated the little joke of dressing up
as an Arab damsel, who appearing be-
fore his highness as as a suppliant
pleaded her own cause with volubility,
and carried her case, whereupon, re-
moving her veil, she displayed the
features of Suleiman, who is affirmed
by living eye-witnesses to have contin-
ued for many years the cordial friend
of the Pasha and other great folks in
Cairo.

The demand for American watches,
both here and in Europe, has con-
stantly been growing, and one Ameri-
can company, which is now producing
LOO finished watches day, is unable
to fill orders except on long notice.
There has been heavy importation of
Swiss watches the past year, but these
are mostly of the cheaper line. The
number of very costly diamonds sold
in this country the past year has been
remarkably large, the demand being
unprecedented for exceptionally fine
stones, both single and matched. Re
Gently in several cases as high as 81 900
per karat has been paid for diamonds in
this city in the trade, and they have
been sold for this price by one dealer
to another. Very high prices have
been given by our dealers for rare
stones in Europe, and when these dia-
monds have been brought here they
have been resold in the trade at prices
which have astonished the sellers them
selves. Then, an enormous quantity
of the cheaper diamonds have been
worked up the past year in all kinds of
gold and other jewelry. There has also
been strong demand for rubies and
sapphires, which have advanced greatly
in value, and there has been rise in
the cost of fine pearla.
