Georges hall last night. A report on the

solved to give another, probably to Blak-
istons island, on Sept 3 next. After tho
transaction of the regular business the
doors wero thrown open and an attractive

n Compromise OHer.

The solicitor oftho treasury has recon-
mended the acceptance Of the offer of the
executors Of the late Samuel a. Way to
pay 5000 in compromise Of all claims Of
the government against Way growing
out of certain alleged illegal importations
of tobacco. The claim against Way was
100000 and IN offer was made in 1879 to
pay $4,000 In compromise. which offer
was accepted but the proponent died be-
fore payment. A suit to recover this
amount was decided against the govern
ment by Judge Lowell, of the circuit
court, and an appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court. The rec
ommendation Of the solicitor which Is
conourred in by the acting attorney gen.
eral and the United States district attor-
ney st Boston, is based on tho inevitable
delay in settling the legal question in
volyed in tho case, tho possibility that
they may be decided adversely to the
government. the difficulty oil proving any
considerable amount due for duties, and
because Of the very large amount, $780,
000,) previously paid by Way in settle
ment of similar tobacco case.

Adobe.

Many strange words are creeping into
our language, through the more init
mate relations new railroads are giving
Us with the Spauish-speaking countries
south of the United States.
"Rancho" and corral have long
been part of the common speech of the
Southwest, and many other Spanish
words have become SO naturalized that
soon we shall hear them without ques-
tioning their origin.
Adobe pronounced ah-do-by-is a
name applied to the bricks Of sun
baked clay of which the huts, novels
and walls of the lower classes Of MeXi-
co and New Mexico are made.
1t is also applied as generic term to
houses built of that material, and as a
term of contempt 1t is shortened to
''doby" by our frontiersmen. Prof
Orion says it is derived from "adoub, !"
an Egyptian word, still used by the
Copts, carried by the Moors to Spain,
thence by the Spaniards to America.
In making adobe bricks, the clay Cor
mud) used is mixed with straw and
spread out in great beds, then cut up
into cakes of the requisite size, or
pressed into frames of the shape de-
sired and lett to dry.
Many villages in Mexico and South
America are built entirely of adobe, and
it enters into the construction even OF
the walls of important cities. Fired a.

no need for such a test; the young

better advice to mark whether the color
of the hair changes, and the blonde is

The Pyramids Built Downward.

She scientists, were leaving the hal
Wednesday, and proceeded 70, give ar
illustrated lecture on 1.-The Libyan
Deserts" Some of the audience re,
manned anGi others out of curiosity
turned back 10 hear him.
Mr.. Whitehouse enumerated some
singular sciaatific theories, based upon
the most careful researches. One of
these was that the Pyramids had beel
built practically downward,, laot up

ancient writers for his authorities, and
On the strength of personal GXamina-
ton, whiah he had made. expressed the
opinion that the chambers, at the base
Of the Pyramids, had been used for
temples and were constructed beneath
The center of big hills, and that the
apex of these hills had been cut off,
and, Though the holes thus made, the
big bCRlders of rocks had been dropped
one upon another until they had risen
to a new apex. Tho, hills, he said, were
then smoothed off and the sides of the.
Pyramids nodded, leaving them as they
are seen to-day. The theory presented
by Mr.. WhitehoRse is not novel. 1t has
been advanced before. Whatever it,
merits, and if the. judgment of 5he
standing committee be taken as final,
it has none-it IS the subject of nauch
comment to-day, that the comAittee
should have shown such animosity in
the matter. There are probably many
more dangerous ''eranks" in the ran
of the association than Mr.. Whitehouse.
There are many scientists whose opin-
ion is entitled to weight who think that

Farmers, Care For Yourselves.

/ often think it strange that. as rule,
a farmer is kinder to his horse than he
is to himself. If he takes out his road
ster, how careful he is on returning to-
groom the animal till perfectly clean,
TO see that water is not given till the
animal has cooled; yet he will go
straight to the well and drink, often
without sense or reason; and, without
needing the perspiration that streams
from the pores, which are clogged by
dust, he sits down to dinner, satisfied if
hands and face are clean. A change
of underwear would not occupy five
minutes, and any wife who thinks
about these things will place the gar
ments where they can be easily reached,
for man is an impatient being, and
must have what he wants there before
his eyes. Leather slippers do not abb
sorb moisture and are therefore best,
and nothing refreshes the feet more
than a regular washing in tepid water
and clean socks.-M Y, Herald.

DO surprised to know that our old
friend, the tallow candle. and even the

proportion of air vitiated and the heat
produced; and you will be disposed to
disbelieve it. But the fact is that, so
long as candles were used, light was so
expensive that we were obliged to be
content with little of it; in fact, we lived
in state of semi-darkness, and in this
way we eyaded the trouble. Ii is only
since the general introduction of gas
and petroleum that we have found
