Dom PedrO's Court Costume.

The limbs are incased in tight-ftting
white silk; white satin low-cut shoes,
embroidered in gold and gems, cover
the feet; white satin tunic reaching to
the knees, belted and embroidered with
bands of gold, pearls and diamonds
From the shoulders depends the train
several yards long. In this the silky
pile of emerald green velvet, with its
golden, sheeny, satin lining, is per-
lection, and scattered in rich profuson
over the surface is the imperial arms
traced in heavy gold-thead en-
broidery. 1t seemed to be literally
sprinkled with glittering diamond
points, and the round cape (pelerine-
shaped) that covered his shoulder and
chest nearly to the waist crowned the
effect completely. This is the most
rare and wonderful part of the ROYAL
court costume, being made entirely
from the breast feathers of the famous
South American bird called the SOU
cano." These plumes are wildly
bright orange color, fine as silk and
glossy as satin, OVERLAPPING each other
until they seem to be the veritable skin
Of the bird himself II is said that it
takes one hundred birds to furnish
sufficient feathers to cover this part of
the dress. i once caught one of these
birds in the interior, which, when pre-
pared for the table, tasted like pigeon.
The bill is very large, the breast
feathers only being colored, the rest of
the plumage dark. Over this feathered
cape was flung a costly necklace of
diamonds and emeralds of immense
size, and close around the throat was
tied rich lace cravat, with wrist-falls
to match.
The crown was weighted with gems;
great diamonds inserted in the bands
of gold, interspersed with emeralds and
rubies and pearls, incased a cap of
velvet that seemed TO press heavily
on the royal head. The scepter was
gold, higher than himself, and tipped
with emblems. The sword passed
through the belt, was completely
studded with pearls and diamonds,
and, in itself, would fill an inter.

served that our monarch's hands wers
incased, as were his feet and limbs, in
woven silk, and the famous signet ring
was outside of the glove. 1t seems
wearisome to speak of all these details.
but in your land, where the ..pomp and
power of monarchy are unknown, it
may be interesting 10 know that, with
all this grandeur and state ceremony,
our venerable Emperor is full of deep
thoughts. occupied with the good and
the welfare of his people, and while the
golden circle of the crown covers his
gray locks, it also covers an astute and
scientific brain. Beneicent, benevolent
and benign, he rules by love and guides
with mild d;gnity.-Rio Janeiro Cor.

Close Moving OF Meadows.

Farmers vary greatly in both opinions
and practice as to the height from the
ground at which il is best TO cut grass.
Grass is cut from one-half inch. or a
close as possible, TO four inches. The
general tendency, however, is to cut too
close, and not few fine meadows have
been injured in consequence.
Timothy can not be cut low, especially
in dry weather, without Injurious ef-
fects, therefore, it is advisable that all
attempts at close-shaving the sward be
avoided. Some of our most successful
farmers cut their timothy nearly or
quite four inches from the ground.
Others, when gauging mowing-ma-
chimes for this grass, take care 10 run
them so high that they will not cut be-
low the second joint above tie tuber.
Close moving of upland meadows is
of necessity injurious, as the action of
the burning sun and dry atmosphere
following harvest affects the roots OF
the grass most unfavorably when left
without some protection. Wet moving
grounds, on the other hand. will bear
cutting close as possible and be bene-
fitted by the same influences which
would dry and burn up an upland
meadow.
When the practice is followed of top
dressing the meadow Immediately after
taking of the grass, close moving Is
also permissible. Generally speaking.
however, grasses which ARE cut two
inches high will start much sooner and
thrive much better than when shaved
close to the ground Fine grasses, "a $
rule, when the season is not a very dry
one, may be cut lower, with safety
than coarser kinds.-N 7. Ht-E,

The First Brooklyn Bridge.


One of New York's oldest citizens has
favored 81. Nicholas with the following
account of a single-span bridge which
was proposed for the East River many
years ago:
Perhaps few, if any, of my young
readers are aware that any attempt was
ever made to bridge the East River from
New York to Brooklyn before the pres
cnt great structure was begun. Yet a
plan for bridging the river was made
and published as early as 1911 by Mr.
Thomas Pope, an architect, then resid-
ing in Canal street, New York, a short
distance east of Broadway.
Yhomas Pope's specially was bridge
building. He proposed to put one across
the river on the line of the present Full
ton ferry boats--namely. from Fulton
street, New York, to Fulton street,
Brooklyn-a bridge of single span,
sufficiently high for the largest sailing
vessels to pass under. Mr.. Pope made a
model of his bridge, published book
with an engraving of it, and solicited
aid TO enable him to fulfill his project.
Had he succeeded, New York long ago
would have had a bridge-way to Brook
lyn. But the enthusiastic engineer was
doomed to disappointment. Not only
was aid denied, but he was assaulted with
ridicule. No man in his senses, they
said, would seriously propose to bridge
that river, though, doubtless, if such a
thing c0uld be done, it would tend to
make Brooklyn building-lots quite valu-
able.
j was playmate with Mr.. Pope's
children, saw him often, and have heard
many pretty anecdotes of him and his
bridge. 1t is said that he, in company
with Robert Fulton, the inventor of the
steamboat, and a number of other dis
tinguished New orkers. on a certain
day made trip around the city in ono
of the new steamboats,. The afternoon
was showery, and just as the boat rounded
Castle Garden the rain ceased, and there
was seen a rainbow spanning the East
River. "See therer' says Fulton, tap
ping Pope on the shoulder, There s
your bridge, Pope. Heaven favors you
with a good omen"
The bridge was not built, however,
and the model was destroyed.

Missionary Work at Home.

"A friend, talking with us not long
since about some of the quiet and unob-
trusive duties which had filled her life,
spoke of the hours she had spent in
reading to servants. 1t seemed to her
as matter of course that she should
include her care of lowly women, who
had cooked her dinners and waited on
her table, among her daily obligations.
She alluded to this in the same connec-
ton with her constant oversight of her
children, her preparation for her Bible
class, and several other things which
fell naturally into her hands. Her
reading to servants" had not been con-
fined to the Bible, nor to religious books.
She had frightened their narrow lives
and quickened their intelligence, and
bound them to her with threefold cords
of devotion, by treating them as though
they were human beings with the same
needs and desires as herself. Some
times a bright story, sometimes bit
from newspaper, sometimes even n
little poetry she had read to the audi
ence in the kitchen. And so, paving
the way with love, she had won them to
listen to Gods word, and to hear her
explanations of difficult passages.
Finding fault, as we often may and
must. with the imperfections of domes-
tic service, it still remains true that on
the mistress-as the better informed
and more highly educated woman-lies
the responsibility of making her servant
contented and happy. If possible, the
latter should be made to feel herself in
home, under gentle authority and
kindly infiuence Let her he ever sO
stupid, so obstinate, so ignorant, or in
competent, she is capable of being inn
proved by judicious training. There
are many of us who have not even to
cross our own thresholds to find mis-
sionary fields wherein, if we will, we
may labor for Christ f. SangStcr.

Butter Making.

Butter making is mechanical pro-
cess, and any one who will carefully
conform to the various requirements
will be enabled TO make good butter
EXactncss and neatless must attend
every step of the process. Carelessness
or want of cleanliness at any stage of
the proceedings may ruin the product
There is great deal of poor butter
made, because there are great many
persons who are not ScrupulouSly
Clearly, and who are careless and heed
less. 1t is nearly rs easy to make the
best butter, after one becomes accus.
toned TO il, as it is TO make the poorest,
and it certainly must be far more salts
factory. There is a satisfaction in max
ing a really first-class article aside from
the satisfaction arising from the receipt
of n first-class price for it. A great inn
provement has been effected in butter
making in this country during the past
twenty years, but there is still room for
further improvement for thousands of
butter makers. Self-conceit stands in
the way of improvement of some.
They think that they make as good but
ter as any one, and possibly to their
own perverted tastes their butter tastes
better than any other. A really nice
article of butter might seem to them
wanting in taste, and certainly it would
be wanting in the strong taste charac-
tcristic of their own butter.
In making good butter cleanliness is
Indispensable. All the utensils used
about the dairy must he kept scrupu-
lousy clean and free from all odor.
The pans in which the milk is set must
be kept sweet and clean, and that this
Is not an easy matter to accomplish
any good dairyman will assure YOU.
The rinsing, scalding and airing which
the pans have to be submitted to are
quite surprising to the uninitiated. The
churn must also be kept clean and
sweet, and every other utensil used
about the milk or butter. The process
of milking must be done in a cleanly
manner. Allowing filth to fall into the
pail, and expecting it TO be removed
by straining, will not conduce TO the
making of nice butter. Whatever filth
goes into the milk pail imparts its faint
to the milk before the strainer removes
it, and, so far as injury to the milk with
butter is concerned, it matters little
whether the milk is strained or not.
Straining should only be depended upon
to remove the fine stray hairs which
may fall into the milk. The filth
which goes into one pail will some
times contaminate all the milk in the
dairy. The strainer that is used to
strain the first pail of milk is sometimes
used without cleansing to strain all the
rest of the milk, so that whatever filth
was removed by the strainer is pretty
ef1ectually washed into the rest of the
milk. Tin pals should be used for
milking, and as soon as the milk is re-
moved they should be rinsed in cold
water. then washed in warm, and
scalded in boiling water. and, in order
to avoid contamination with sour
dish-cloth, be left to drain. Soap is OBJ
jectionable for using in washing milk
utensils, because of the danger of con-
tamination from the filthy grease used
in making it. Sal soda is preferable to
soap.-N. Y Sun.

CHAPTER XIII.

He Laughed Ont.

He was from the East, and if he was
not an ex-detective he had at least a
right to be called a philosopher He
was buzzing around the Third-street
depot the other day with suspicious
looking young man, and making great
show of a fat wallet, and finally the
special officer stepped up to him and
said:
my friend, who is that young man?'
Il think he's a pick-pocket," was the
prompt reply.
Where are you going?"
ITO Chicago, and he has just pur-
chased his ticket for the same point"
''If you think him suspicious char
acter why do you train in his COM
pany?"
Simply to beat him.
"How?''
He goes to Chicago because am
going. He means to pick my wallet
between here and there. He had to
scrape his pockets to buy the ticket. i

will leave the train at the first station
after. He will have no mony, find no
friends, and be mad enough to bust
when he secs my trick. I'm just crack
ing my sides over the way his chin
will drop when he opens the stolen
wallet"
About an hour after, when the train
had departed, the officer was surprised
to see the joker still hanging around;
and this time alone.
Then you didn't go to Chicago?''
Say" answered the man as he came
closer, .that chap wasn't after my
money, after all. He simply wanted
my watch, and I'll be hanged if he
hasn't got it. Where's the Chief-of- Po-

At Even.Tide.

AT evening time it shall be light-"-zdch.
Tir, z.
Oftentimes we look with forebodings
to the time of old age, forgetful that
at even-tide it shall be light. To many
saints old age is the choicest season of
their lives. A balmier air fans the
mariners cheek as he nears the shore
of Immortality; fewer waves ruffle his
sea, quiet reigns, deep, still and sol
emn. From the altar of age the flash
es of the fire of youth are gone, but
the flame of more earnest feelings re-
mains.
The pilgrims have reached the land
of Beulah, that happy country whose
days are as the days of Heaven upon
earth. Angels visit it; celestial gales
blow over it; flowers of Paradise grow
in it, and the air is filled with seraphic
music. Some dwell here for years, and
others come to it but few hours before
their departure, but it is an Eden on
Earth. We may well long for the time
when we shall recline in its shady
groves, and be satisfied with hope until
the time of fruition comes.
The setting sun seems larger than
when aloft in the sky, and splendor
of glory tinges all the clouds which sur
round all his going down. Pain breaks not
the sweet calm Of the twilight of age;
for strength made perfect in weakness
bears up in patience under it all. Ripe
fruits of choice experience are gathered
as the rare repasts of LIES evening.
and the soul prepares itself for rest.
The Lords people shall also enjoy
light in the hour of death. Unbelief
laments, the shadows fall. the night is
coming, existence is ending. All, no!
crieth Faith, the night is far spent, the
day is at hand. Light is come-the
light of immortality, the light of a
fathers countenance. Gather up thy
feet in the bed, see the waiting band of
spirits. Angels watt thee away. Fare

A Dog Mourning His Master.

George Lafferty, of Malvern, who re-
Gently committed suicide, was deeply
loved by his Newfoundland dog Duke.
The faithful animal and bis master were
inseparable friends, and no matter
where Laf1erty went Duke always fol-
lowed. When Lafferty rashly killed
himself none of his friends mourned his
death more deeply than the dog. Duke
took up position by the side of the
corpse and refused TO leave it until it
was placed in a coffin. when he quietly
stretched himself under the bier and. re-
manned there day and night until the
funeral. When the funeral cortege left
the house Duke broke the rope TO
which he was tied and ran after the car
riages. With his head hanging down,
as if in silent mourning, Duke trotted
under the hearse until the cemetery was
reached. When the coffin was lowered
in the ground the faithful animal stood
by and watched until the grave was
filled with dirt, and then, only after the
most persistent efforts, was he induced
to leave the spot. Philadelphia Record.
