An Oyster 0melette.

An oyster omelette may be a new
dish to some cooks, and L can assure
them that it will be favorite if the
family like oysters. Stew a dozen oys-
ters in their own liquor, if possible, if
not, use very little water; roll two or
three Jumps Of butter the size of butt
ternuts in flour, and put in and let it'll
come to a boil; salt it well, and add
black or cayenne pepper to suit your
taste. Take out the oysters and chop,
them, and, if necessary to make them
thick, add little flour to the sauce;
then put the oysters in and set the
saucepan in which they are on the back
part of the stove. Beat your eggs I'M
til very light, and add to them two
tablespoonful of cream or rich milk;
fry in well-buttered frying-pan. When
done remove to hot platter or deep
plate, and pour the oyster sauce over it.

Curious Race.

The Jagans impress one as poor
race. La general the men are scarcely
more than of medium stature, while the
women rarely reach it. The faces of
this race are round, large and fiat, with
huge cheek bones, low foreheads, large
and flat noses, very black and restless
eyes, wide apart, large tunlid lips and
strong jaws, furnished with beauti-
full teeth. The head and chest are
disproportionately large, compared
to the extreme slenderness of arms and
legs, and it is marvel that the latter
can support the well-developed trunk
and heavy head. In spite of this strange
formation, both men and women have
uncommon strength, and 1 have seen
them carry weights that would have
taxed the robustest of our sailors. No
less surprising is the smallness of their
hands and feet, which, if a beauty, is
very Instantaneous to the men, who
can carry only one or two objects in
their hands at the same time. They
have rough, lusterless black hair, which
they wear long and falling over face
and shoulders. Some bind it with o
leather strap, but most let it grow to
such an extent that they look more like
furies than human beings. The men
have very little beard, and that little
they pluck out, while neither men nor
women have any hair on their bodies.
They do not tattoo, but use all kinds of
paint. Two or three hues of color cal
the face and few necklaces of shells
or birds bones is the usual dress of
Fuegian.
For protection against the terrible
hurricanes, the SHOWS that fell during
the ten months of this year, and tor
rental rains that daily visit this miser-
able archipelago, the Fuegian only
wears a small mantle of seal or guanaco
skin over his shoulders. The wigwams
are only made of intertwined branches,
fixed in some sheltered spot, but they
are too weak to keep out snow or rain.
These wigwams are used by the Fue
gians who dwell near the few residents
of Uscumbia or round the mission; the
other natives scarcely ever remain more
than one or two days in the same place;
they lead vagrant life in their small
canoes among the complicated canals Of
this broken-up country, fishing and
hunting for their subsistence, of which
the sea furnishes the larger part

Down in the Dark.

Down in the lower levels of our
mines, hundreds of feet below the sur
face of the earth, in the dominions of
Erebus, where darkness ever holds its
reign unbroken by the light of day, are
found some curious growths.
In the lower levels of the Comstock
mines-particularly those long aban-
doned or unused-are seen many Won
derful growths of different kinds of
fungi. Some of these are of great
size, almost filing up drifts, and, seen
by the dim light Of candle, look like
sheeted ghosts. Down below in the
dark these growths seem to strive to
initiate the forms Of things seen on the
surface. In one Of our mines was once
found an imitation of fancifull y-carved
meerschaum pipe, stem and all, so per-
feet that it would easily be mistaken
for the genuine article if not taken in
the hand and closely examined. Some
of the fungi resemble the horns of ami
mails, and are from two feet to a yard
in length, while others might pass for
petrified devil-fish.-Virgi1liG (NeU.)

Tragic Romance.

A newspaper Prophecy of 1913.

The New York Sum of July 81,
1913, printed the subjoined prophecy:
"A portion of our readers may ra-
tionally expect to live forty years. Let
us look forward to what will be the
condition of the world in 1888.
Judging of the future by the past,
we shall in that period see added to the
American Union ten new States, and
settlements will extend to the Rocky
mountains, with considerable popula-
ton in Oregon. This vast extent of
country will be cultivated by a popula-
ton of 90,000.000 of free, intelli-
gent people-such q nation of men
and women as the sun has never shone
upon.
"The city of New York will have a
population of more than 1 100000, and
lines of packets, propelled by ma
chinery so much improved that the
passage to England will be made in four
and five days, starting every day, and
the fare not exceeding $40.
with all this immense population on
the seaboard, the most populous and
powerful portion of the Union will be
the valley of the Mississippi, to some
city of which the seat of government
will be removed, while the present ma
tional buildings at Washington will be
used as great national university.
"Our trade with the whole world will
have increased in proportion, and about
this time the China trade, having be-
come of immense Importance, through
the diplomatic intercourse about to be
opened by Mr.. Gushing, will be carried
on by immense steamships across the
Pacific ocean and up the Oregon river,
across the"mountains by railroad, and
so down the Mississippi to st. Louis,
the probable great center of trade.
"Those who shall, forty years hence,
look over the file of the Sam for 1843,
will be more astonished at the truth of
these predictions than are many now at
their apparent extravaganza.

is movement of terrible velocity and
power, at all events. Several instances
may be mentioned of herd-boys being
thus either wounded, manned, or killed
outright. One case occurred near Graaff
Reinet, in which horse had his back
broken by single blow. In this case
the bird had endeavored to kill the
rider, but missed him and struck the
horse.
Many persons have been set upon by
birds when there was no shelter, not
even tree to run to. In such case, if
the pursued were acquainted with
struthious tactics, he would lie down
flat on the ground, where the bird finds
it impossible to strike him. But even
this is no light matter, for some birds in
their rage at being baffied of their kick,
will roll over their PROSTATE enemy,
believing with fury and trampling upon
him in the most contemptuous fashion.
One man who thus attempted the lying
down plan found that every time he at
tented to rise the bird would return
and stand sentry over him, till at last,
after creeping a distance he got out
only by swimming pond that bounded
one side of the Century Maya

The German Bed.

And that bed is enough to make
man stoop-shouldered. It's about as
broad as the back of a knife blade, as
hard as billiard table and about six
inches too short. couldn't straighten
out in it to save my life. I had to lie
all twisted up into knot, like rattle
snake ready to strike. But could have
made out even with that if it had not
been for that feather concern which
they palmed off on me for coverlet.
That was too short, q foot and half
shorter than the bed. If L tried to COW
Ell my shoulders, my feet got so cold
that the nails nearly dropped off, and
when | tried to save my toe-nails my
shoulders were covered with goose PIN
piles as big as hazel nuts. When I'd
around me all the feathers would go
sliding over to the other side, leaving
nothing but double thickness of cloth
(and mighty cold cloth, too, 1 tell you)
to keep me warm on that side. And as
the feathers would all congregate on
one side, that side would rise up so that
there woJlld be an interval of about two
inches for the pure air of heaven to find
al entrance and circulate around my
shivering body. IF I'd hit hillock of
feathers a rap to make it lie even, the
whole COMPOUNDED thing would fly up.
l never had such time in my life. I
fought those feathers nearly all night,
and never did manage to get 'em fixed
right for more than a minute at time.
Every time I'd wink the whole thing
would assume new attitude And
that internal wedge-shaped bolster
nearly broke my neck until I went rum
maging around and found it.
Then, after had pitched that off on
to the floor, [ couldn't find my pillow
until had pulled the whole bed all to
pieces. And when did find it, it was
so small that 1 had to get all the feath-
ers into one corner and tie knot in the
tick to deceive myself into the belief

A Snake Shot from a Gun.

Cosmus Eckenrode, who lives on the
Blue Mountains, near the line of the
Berks and Schuylkiil, Pa, was out
hunting. AS he was crossing small
clearing he laid down his gun to gather
some Blue Mountain tea. Shortly after
he picked it up again and was startled
to hear very close to his ear, the pecu-
liar whirring which is the signal of the
proximity of the rattlesnake. He
looked suddenly around, but could dis
cover nothing, when suddenly he dis
covered the tail of the snake protruding
from the muzzle of his gun. He drop
ped the gun quickly, but instead OF
coming out his snakeship crawled into
the barrel again. After fruitless efforts
to dislodge him, Mr.. Eckenrode re-
solved to fire the gun, which was very
successful, and the snake, after taking
a trip in the air, came down in shreds,
badly used up.

Foreign Social Customs.

Wealthy New York families are fast
forming their habits upon French and
English models. Mothers and daugh-
ters each have their own maid, and the
Gown" maid never loses sight Of her
young mistress. She sleeps in an al!
cove. or small room separated only by
a portiere; or, if her quarters are in an
other part Of the house, she is the last
to leave her at night and the first to see
her III the morning; for she makes her
clothes, she prepares her toilet for the
day, she superintends her bath, dresses
and undresses her, accompanies her on
her walking, shopping and other little
expeditions. The oversight exercised
IS constant, and so minute in the nature
II the case that the young girl can do
1othing, not even post a letter, except
lnder surveillance.
In society, and especially in the ball
room, this is removed. The maid may
be in the dressing-room, the chaperon
chatting with some other matron within
few feet of her, but the feeling of per-
petual restraint is, in a measure, re-
moved, and the Joy in it, and the temp
tation to avail herself of it, is all the
greater for its contrast with her daily
life That the restriction and scru-
tiny should be reserved for the home,
and the freedom accorded in society, is
one Of those social inconsistencies which
arise from the attempt to ingraft Euro
pean customs on American stOck.-BOS-

The Law of Leap Year.

The Albany LaaU Journal calls
attention to an important law relating
to the extra day in leap year, which
business men and others should bear in
mind. The Journal says: Gas leap
year is coming, it is well to know what
the law of leap year is. The law, it is
said, takes no notice of parts CT days,
and, as to the 29th Of February, takes
no notice of the whole day. The 2Sth
and 29th are computed as one day.
For example, suppose a note is dated
on the 28th of February, 1880, payable
one day from date. Ordinarily it would
be payable on the 4th of March, and so
it is in leap year, and not On the 81.
In Indiana the question has recently
come before the Supreme Court, in re-
spect to service of process in 1876, the
last leap year. The law there requires
ten days previous service for the eutry
of the Judgment. In the case before
the court the judgment was premature
if the 28th and 29th were to be COM
puted as one day. The court said: It
must be regarded as settled in this
State that the 28th and Doth of Febru-
airy in every bisextle year must be COM
puted and consideredin law as one day. ;
The question is set at rest by our
statute, r. S. m. p. 610, S. 3, which
provides that the added day of leap
year and the day Immediately preced-
ing, if they shall occur in any period so
to be computed, shall be reckoned to-
gether as one day This embraces
statutes, deeds, verbal or written con-
tracts, and all public or private instru-
ments."

Curious Results from Skulls Fractured

OF the fifty-four persons who were
killed by the falling of huge chimney
at Bradford, England, twenty-six had
their skulls fractured. Several curious
incidents are told about the survivors.
A girl of -, who was taken to a hos
Dital, when asked her name replied:
'Five minutes past s" (the time OF the
a-ci,lent). Two hours later, in response
to the same question, she said: Two
pence three farthings," and again an
Lour afterward: "Forty-five." i few
minutes later she was able to give her
real name. and after that rapidly i'm
proved. 4 boy suffering from concus-
sion of the brain remained motionless in
a curled-up position for thirty-six hours.
He finally became conscious, and in all
respects entirely sensible, except that
he had no recollection of the accident
or even OF the events which Immediately
y. led it. He knew where he lived
AM where he worked, but did not re-
member going to work that morning.

Manner and Manners.

Beauty is generally considered as the
most seductive and irresistible of social
Graces. Yet even beyond the fascination
Of beauty may be ranked the charm of
manner, and the brilliant Interchange
OF thought between refined and cult
v&tod intellects. Manner may indeed
t..Ga the first place among social gifts,
for il has an ethical value as q refining
influence in all grades of life. 1t pro-
mc5as harmony, softens acerbity Of
temper, and dit1uses a calm joy over the
home circle; while in society it dom
mates as no other gift or grace can do.
Beauty may often have fatal power to
draw souls earthward, and conversation,
with all its wit and brilliancy, may be
used to vitiate the moral sense; but
manner is ever noble and enrolling,
because based on the two great moral
ciples-respect for ones self and
respect for others.
Manner exists as an heirloom among
some races, as the Celt, the Slav and
the Arab. The courtesy Of the Celt
approaches reverence, and the Bedouins
have the calm majesty of desert Kings.

nlar grace of idiom and gesture, but
the TeutOn is naturally uncouth and
rough. John Bright, in one of his elo-
quent addresses to workingmen, says,
with truth, that manners, far more than
pomp or luxury, form the chief differ
ences between high and low, rich and
poor, the noble and the ignoble.
If the uncultivated classes could be
trained into habits of mutual courtesy
and politeness, if they were made sensi-
bic of the moral beauty Of gentleness,
fOrbearance, self-respect and reverence,
there would be less of the hideousness
Of coarse language and brutal self-asser-
ton in their ordinary intercourse.
Manner is a royal grace that we are ac-
| customed to associate with high rank
and high breeding, but it may dwell il
the cottage as in the palace; and it has
this advantage that, while it can beau
tify all life, it costs nothing, and never
generated an evil thought or word
