Washing in Switzerland.

A correspondent, writing from Switz-
erland, says: Magiorc, or superior, is
the last lake in the northwest of Italy.
1t is alovely sheet Of blue-green water
cnShrincd among green mountain sides.
1t must have been washing-day for the
village when We arrived, as a whole
row Of peasant women were engaged
in renovating theiI various family lin
ems along the edge Of the lakes. Her
lakes are fed from the snow and ice
which melt upon the mountains and
run down in brooks and torrents. 1t
is almost icc-cOld in the elevated lakes,
yet a row of women get down upon
their knees around the waters edge
with their feet sticking out behind
them, and slather the garments
about for an hour or two and
call it washing. Sometimes a wooden
platform is erected out into the water
a little way, and they kneel upon that
Occasionally they have, but as often
do not have, a smooth wooden lap
board upon which they beat and rub
their clothes. | Judge there is not a
washboald of the kind we know in
America in all Switzerland. There is
no hot water and no steaming or scald-
ing of the linen. Where the lake is
wanting a wooden trough is fixed to
catch water from Il mountain stream,
and the village women take their cloth
ing there and have a picnic of wash
and gossip. From the looks Of the
garments after they are hung out to
dry there is more gossip than wash.
Everything is done by sheer brute
force in Switzerland as elsewhere
among the peaSantry of Europe.
Hour after hour these women kneel
with their arms in the dcathly cold
water above their elbows, and slash
and pound the clothes and rub them
together, and dance them up and down
in the current. Soap is used in pain
fully economic manner.
From an artistic point of view, if
we leave out the women's frowsy
heads and dusty, bare 1eet, this way of
renovating soilcd garments may be
highly picturesque. Indeed, in my ma
tive land, ! have seen paintings of
these washcrwomen that in the alb
stract were greatly admired. But
from practical point of view, must
say the whole proceeding is extremely
ridiculous, and the washes do look like
distress.

Youth and Age.

Spring at her height, or morn In primo,
Sails that laugh from flying squat,
Pomp of harmony, rapture OF rhyme
Youth is the sign of them, one and all,
Winter sunsets and leaves that fall,
An empty hagon, folded page,
A tumb!e-down wheel, tattered bali
These are tie types of the world of age.
Bells that clash in gorgeous chime,
Swords that clatter in onsets tall,
The words that ring and the flames tina
climb
Youth is the sign Of them, one and all.
Old hymnals prone in dusty stall,
A bald. blind bird in a crazy cage,
The scene of faded festival
These arc the types of the world of age.
Hours that strut, as the heirs of time,
Deeds whose rumors a clarion call,
Songs where the singers their souls sub
lime
Youth is the sign Of them, one and all.
A staff that rests in nook of the wall,
A reeling bottle, ru'ted gauge,
The chant of a nearing funeral
These are the types Of tho world Of age.
Struggle and sacrifice, riot and Drawn
Youth is the sign of them, one and all.
A smoldering hearth and silent stage
These are the types of the world of age.

MarbIehead's Bells,
Ovor the gently swelling bay,

Ovor the gently swelling bay,
Diving away, dying away,
The sounding bells in their stecples high
Measure the timo in tuneful rhyme,
And float on the evening air like sigh,
Over the bay, far away, far away.
White sails fit from day to day
Ovor the bay, fading away
Into the distance dim and blue;
And the waters heave and seem to breathe
OF the absent dear ones brave and true
Out OF the bay, far away, lar away.
Over the ocean the storm winds play
At the mouth Of the bay they die away,
And only the vosant zephyr breathe'
OF dGshing foam, and dying moan,
And the graves the trailing seaweed wcave'
For those away, out of the bay, iar away,
All, many lonely heart could say
How far away out Of the bay
It watched one white sail disappear
Forever more from the sunlit shore
Only God knows the watcry bier
OF those away, out Of the bay, far away.
And ever Nnd ever, through night ind day,
Dying away, dying away,
The sounding bells seem sadly 10 say,
ave pray, we pray, wepr'y, we pray,
For absent dear ones far away
Out OF the bay, we pray,wc pray, we pray.

me right here that he found 1t too heavy
for him. God knows. But it's more
to the point that he lefta wife and two
children, whose sole dependence he
was. Gentlemen and mates, take off
your hats while read you this letter"
The letter, which bore evidence Of
having been read and read again, ran
as follows
"Oh, James and are you really
coming home, and with such lot OF
money, tooY Oh, can't believeit all !!
How happy we Shall be once more IC
makes me feel just like a young girl
again, when you and / used to roam in
the berry pastures hand in hand, and
never coveted anything in the wide
world but to be together. You haven't
forgot that, my lad. hayo you? Or the
old cedar on the cliff where you asked
me for your own wife, and the heaven
over us and the sea at our feet, all so
beautiful, and we so happy? Do come
quick. Surely God has helped me to
wait all this long weary time, but now
it seems as if Icouldn't bear it another
day. And the little boy, James, just
your image; it's all he can say, Papa,
come home How can you have the
heart to stay in that wicked placer
When he had finished, some of the
lady passengers were crying softly. He
then read the fatal certificate Of de-
post, holding it up 50 that all might
see.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen he
went on, "you've heard the story and
can put this and that together. When
we get to Panama / am going to write
a letter to the widow. It's for you to
say what kind of n letter it shall be.
That's why I've asked you here. Now,
purser, put up the certificate OF
deposit"
"How much am I olfered--how
much ?" said the purser.
Ten, twenty, forty, fifty dollars were
quickly bid. Then woman's voice
said seventy, and then the bidding ran
up to hundred and fifty. 1t was
knocked down to u rad-shirted miner,
who laid three $50 pieces on the cap
stan, saying as he did SO, "Taint half
enough, Cap ; sell her agin-sell her
agin"
The sale went on, each buyer putting
the certificate up for sale again, until
the noble emulation covered the cap
stan with gold.
"Stop bit, pursor,' said Captain
NJ, counting the money. "That will
do" he continued; "the sale is over.
Here are just $1,000. The certificate
of deposit is redeemed"

A Poor Idea.

The Percival is the name Of lately
completed handsome new apartment
house for gentlemen only, in one OF
New Yorks very fashionable streets.
The building is five stories high, seven
ty-fyc feet front and sixty eight feet
deep, and contains forty.one apartments.
The front is of Philadelphia brick, with
freestone trimmings, and tie interior is
finished in ash, with floors of triple
thickness of Georgia pine. Each apart
ment has bathroom, etc. Every pre-
caution to avoid fire has been taken.
Fire escapes have been placed at the
rear, and pipes run up the well hole to
the top of the building. The plumbing
has been male special feature, the
plans having been submitted to the
board of health, There is no restaurant
connected with the Percival, but break
fast will be served in the rooms by the
superintendent. The Percival is the
fifth building of the kind erected in
tina! city. The others are the Benedict,
Cumberland, Jansen, and small apart
ment house.
Why girls go West to find husbands
when such system is permitted to
gain ground in the metropolis, is a
question which we commend to the
notice of the fair sex.

How to Tell Good Eggs.

A good egg VIII SINK IN water.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
After an egg has laid day or more
the shell comes OF easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has lime-like surface
to its shell.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth Of
shell.
Eggs which have been packed in lime
look stained and show the action of
the lime on the surface.
Eggs packed in bran for long time
smell and taste musty.
With the aid Of the hands, a piece of
paper rolled in funnel shape and held
toward the light, the human eye can
look through an egg, shell and all.
If an egg is clear and golden in ap-
pearancc when held to the light, it is
good if dark or spotted, it is bad.
The badness Of an egg can some
times be told by shaking near the
holders ear, but the test is dangerous
one.
Thin shells are caused by lack of
gravel, etc, among the hens laying
eggs.-Erch0nge.

ionable beauty and great court favorite,
the Countess G.. One Of the countess's
kitchen maids having been caught in
the act of giving her sweetheart hand
some supply of victuals from her miss
tress's larder, the countess proceeded to
administer severe cha,tisement to the
erring damsel, with hunting whip.
The aggrieved scullery maid went to q
doctor, who bound up her wounds and
gave her a certificate of injury, on which
she sued, and, to the amazement oil
Berlin, caused the countess to be
mulcted in heavy damages.

THE CHARLES A. VOGELER co.,
The New Partnership in tho House OF A.
V0gclcr 81 Co.
Baltimore Herald, October "A. I


Baltimore Herald, October IA.
Almost important change in one Of the larg-
est enterprises the city took place yesterday
and inquiry was busy in gathering the facts.
Immediately following the death Of Mr..
Charles a. Nogeer, the surviving part
ners of the house, of which he had been
the moving spirit, issued circular TO
the trade and press, which appeared in the
columns of this paper. 1t made public an
arrangement which in the eSigencies of
the moment was deemed necessary, and an
nounced thatit the desire of all concerned
to continue its affairs as they had been pre-
viousy conducted
1t was learned, late last evening, that GER
tain changes affecting the permanent estab-
lishment of the business had been resolved
upon, and a reporter of the Herald was dis
patched to the Office of Col. Charles Marshall,
attorney for the estate of the late Charles A.
Nogoler, where it was ascertaincd that negO-
tiations had been concluded, as follows:
That the interests of the surviving part
ners had been purchased by Mr.. Christian
Devries, n member of the old and sub
stNntiOl house of William Devries q Co.,
and president of the National Bank of
Baltimore, and that q new firm was
about TO DO formed under the firm
name of The Charles A. Vogeler Co.,
'ui' HuhiO DcIllS III iIpllOi anu
of the memory of the late Charles A. Voge-
Ter. 1t was further ascertained that the new
firm will be composed Of the widow of the
late Mr. Vogeler (she retaining her late hus-
bands full INTEREST,", Mr.. Christian Devries,
as executive partner and financial head,
and Mr.. Ii. d. Umbstaetter who, from the
first step in the initial venture of The house
Of A. Nogeler & Co., was the manager of
the advertising department and confidential
adviser of Mr.. Charles A. Vogeler.
BY this arrangement it has been fully de-
termined that all the plans and business
purposes of the late Charles A. Vogo-
Ter, the founder and executive man.
nger of the late firm, shall be developed to
their full fruition, and that the popular
preparations of tie house, prominent among
which are st. Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koe-
nig's Hamburg Family Medicines, shall hold
their high rank under now auspices and the
new management.
There is one feature of this commercial
episode winch appeals strongly to the kind,
liest feeling and points touching moral
Mrs. Nogeler holds her relation in the firm
with a wifey courage. Her whole futuro
is centered in the resolve that the fruits of SO
valuable life as that of her husbands, which
was freely sacrifcedin his zeal for the welfare
Of his native city, and that the aims and pro-
jects he pursued shall not be permitted to
lanGuish but shall be revived and strength
ened to its credit and to his honor and fame,
and that she will strive to build for him an
enduring monument in the enterprise of bis
own founding.

DR.. Fernet's interesting statement
on this subject, before the Paris Their
areutical society, has attracted consid-
cradle attention. The fact that in
fants have advantageously been fed in
this way induced NJ Fernet to resort
to it, and, as appears, successfully.
The patient being laid on his back,
with his chest and head Slightly raised
by pillows, the liquid is poured slowly
into the back part of the mares by
means Of very pointed spoon or
other agent, and when it reaches the
pharnyX it induces movement of de-
glutition. Adroitly performed, food
may be given this way as well as by
the mouth. He has often used the
method in apoplectic coma, and in
the coma Of infants suffering from
tubercular meningitis. Medicines may
be given in the same manner when
ever the mouth cannot be employed
for this purpose. Similar means have
been found eifectual in the case of a
manacal patient, who could not be in
duced to take food into his mouth
under any circumstances.

which had assumed astonishing proper

who ought to have known better invested
largely in the swindle, and with few
