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
Under 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. Dos

An OYSTER 0melette.

An oyster omelette may be a new
dish to some cooks, and I can assure
them that it will be a favorite if the
family like oysters. Stew dozen oys-
tiers in their own liquor, if possible, if
not, use very little water; roll two or
three Jumps Of butter the size of but
ternuts in -four, and put in and let it
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. Ia 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 tumid 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 I 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 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 q
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 tal
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 a 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

A Newspaper Prophecy of 1913.

The New York sam 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 a considerable popula-
ton in Oregon. This vast extent of
country will be cultivated by popula-
ton of 90,000.000 of free, intelIi-
gent people-such a 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 a 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.

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
a petriied devil-fsh. Virginia (NeU.)

power as from It's IaceraJ1ng enecJs. IL
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 a 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

And that bed is enough to make o
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. I 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 I could have
made out even with that if it had not
been for that feather concern which
they palmed off on me for a coverlet.
That was too short, foot and a half

sliding over to the other side, leaving

Every time I'd wink the whole thing

Then, after had pitched that off on

Popular Life I'm italy,

a most interesting feature of modern
italian life is the persistent survival of
old manners and customs among the
peasantry. French influence has modi-
fed the whole life of the upper classes;
painters are for the most part content
to follow the methods in vogue at the
Salon; and the dearth of high-class
music forms the stock complaint of
Englishmen and Germans who soiourn
in ITALY. But in spite of railways,
telegrGphs, and half-penny newspapers,
the peasant remains much as he has
been from time immemoriGl; his pots
and pans are still fashioned in Et,'nscan

A Snake Shot from q Gun.

Cosmus Eckenrode, who lives on the
Blue Mountains, near the line of the
Berks and Schuylkill, 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.

Curious Results from Skulls Fractured

to the same question, she said: 1.-TWO
