Daniel Boone's Whisky,

During q conversation with gentle
man. and while relating accounts of old
times, he told an incident in the life of
Daniel Boone, the famous explorer of
Kentucky, which probably has hereto
fore been unpublished. He said that
when Daniel Boone and his party were
surveying the ''dark and bloody
ground" they heard the Indians, and
as they were on the warpath they be-
gan to devise means to escape death.
They had made two chops on q tree
for a line. Daniel had quart of
whisky. and he said: eve must do
something with the whisky or the In
dians may catch us and get drunk and
kill us ALL" The last tree that was
chopped had hollow near fork, and
Daniel Boone put the quart OF whisky
in the hollow. Forty years had passed,
and the question came up about that
spot, and Daniel told them they could
tell by the quart of whisky in the tree.
The tree was found, but had grown
large and the hollow had grown up,
but old man Boone said, "Cut it down
and the quart of whisky can be found,
and the question would be settled
whether that was the spot in dispute"
The tree was felled and split open and
the bottle was found, but the whisky
was gone-had evaporated in the forty
years time, it is supposed. d.-SomervilIe

The Origin of Mosquitoes.

The Indians have very satisfactory
account of the origin of the Montezuma
mosquitoes. The legend runs thus:
There were in times of old, many
moons ago, two huge feathered mon
sters permitted by the Manitou to de-
scend from the sky and alight on the
banks of the Seneca river. Their form
was exactly that of the mosquito. They
were so large that they flew toward the
earth. Standing one on either bank
they guarded the river, and stretching
their long necks into the canoes of the
Indians as they attempted to paddle
along the stream. gobbled them up as
the stork king in the fable gobbled up
the frogs. The destruction of life was
so great that not an Indian could pass
without being devoured in the attempt.
1t was long before the monsters could
be exterminated. and then only by the
combined efforts of all the warriors of
the Cayuga and Onondaga nations.
The battle was terrible, but the war
riors finally triumphed, and the man.
moth mosquitoes were slain and left
unburied. For this neglect the Indians
had to pay dearly. The carcasses de-
and the particles, viyihed by
the sun, flew off in clouds of mosauit-
oes. which have filled the country every
since,

was Count So-and-So. He said ''yes.
and Mrs. Valery moved sway few
PAGES to speak to him more at her ease.
But she found it more difficult 10 re-
enact the warm welcome which had
been wrongly given. She was shaken
and unnerved. too. by Lady Lynx's face
and words.
"What does this mean?" asked Sir
George. in a low voice, Of his wife.

You don't mean to say you imagine we

"What else can imaginep"
"What grounds have you for mag

"Why didn't You say what time you

'Frank Valery's WIFE"
"Then take me over, and introduce
me to her and apologize. And another
time don't choose lady to insult when
you are jealous"
Lady Lynx stood irresolute. She
knew Sir George was in the right and
she felt he was speaking the truth.
And as she looked at Mrs. Valery and
the Russian as they stood talking to-
gether she saw that she had made a
mistake amateur detectives are apt to
fall into. She had too readily con-
cluded that Mrs. Valery was telling a
made-up story. She saw that there
was nothing to be done but apologize
But she could not bring herself to doit.
At that moment Mrs. Valery turned
round. and meeting Lady Lynx's look
of mingled emotions, she smiled. Her
sense OF humor had come uppermost.
After all she could afford to forgive
Lady Lynx; her enemy was so very
plain.
You must both come and dine with
u.s. she said by way of answer.
..Frank will be delighted to see Sir
George; l know they are old friends.
You must-the count is coming.n
Sir George made haste to accept this
invitation. After dinner Mrs. Valery
told the story of the scheme in the cof-
fee room, making but one change in it
she left out Lady Lynx unfortunate
speech. Everybody laughed, even Lady
Lynx herself.
And SO Mrs. Valery disarmed bit
ter enemy and made a new ally For
Sir George became one of her faithful
admirers and Lady Lynx had to put up
with it, whether she liked it or not.

What Siemens Did.

In paper giving an account of the
British association of 1882, of which
DIR. Siemens was president, Prof. Emil
du Bois-Reymond referred, with some
expressions of admiration, to the many
ways in which the name of Siemens is
identified with the most important of
the recent advances in technical science,
What krupp is among German indus
trials in warlike arts, he said, the col
lective name OF Siemens is in the arts
OF peace. Siemens telegraph wires gird
the earth. and the Siemens cable
steamer Faraday is continually en-
gagged in laying new ones. BY the
Siemens method has been solved the
problem, by the side of which that of
hndlng needle in haystack is one of
childish simplicity, of fishing out in the
stormy ocean. from depth comparable
to that Of the vale of Chamouni, the
ends of a broken cable. Electrical re-
sistance is measured by the Siemens
mercury unit. "Siemensn is written
on water-meters, and Russian and Ger
man revenue officers are assisted by
Siemens apparatus in levying their as
sessments The Siemens processes for
gliding and silvering, and the Siemens
anastatic printing mark stages in the
development of those branches of in
dustry. Siemens differential regula-
tors control the action of the steam en-
gines that forge English arms at Wool
wlch, and that of the chronographs on
which the transit of the stars is marked
at Greenwich. The Siemens cast-steel
works and glass-houses, with their re-
generative furnaces, are admired by
all artisans. The Siemens electric
light shines in assembly-rooms and
public places, and the Siemens gas
light completes with it; while the Sic
mems electroculture in greenhouses
bids defiance to our long winter
nights. The Siemens electric railway

Frosting Cake

In the window of ''delicatessen"
store on Sd avenue recently, saws the
New York San. there appeared the
head Of a large porker. ornamented
with flowers and vines in an extraordi-
nary manner. A wreath of red and
white roses rested between the ears.
There were lilies and pinks in his Jaws
until his teeth were buried out of sight,
and miniature sunfower covered his
snout The proprietor of the store
smiled when asked about it, and picked
it out OF the window without saving a
word. The questioner then saw that
1t was simply cake ornamented with
different kinds of frosting.
.'There is an art in frosting cake, as
we'll as in painting" said confection-
er. 1T takes an artist to initiate ma
ture so closely as to deceive the eve.
The process of ornamenting a cake is
very simple. Sugar of various colors
is mixed with the whites of eggs to a
thick paste. The mixtures are put in
cone shaped bags six inches deep. In
the apex of each bag is placed tin,
oone-shaped spout, the small end of
which is round or star-shaped or serra-
ted or fiat according to the purpose for
which we use it. Holding the bag in one
hand and steadying it with the other
we squeeze the mixture through the
tubes. The shape of the tube helps us
in forming the design. Thus fiat tubes
serrated on one side are used for leaves.
Little round mouthed tubes serve to
make vines and tendrils. To build a
rose We use thicker mixture, and
form the rose from it exactly as sculp-
tor would model one in clay. l some
times make rose with nothing but a
small bit OF wood not much larger than
a toothpick. In fact the tools used in
elaborate pieces of confectionery are
nothing more than what I have told
you. but we have to serve long as ap-
prentices before we can do the work"

Costly Woods from Afar.

Perhaps the finest and most costly
brought to this country, so fine and
costly indeed that it is rarely used SOL
i'd but for veneering, is what is called
French walnut. which does not, howev-
er, come from France, being grown on
ly in Persia and Asia Minor. As the
tree is crooked and dwarfed, large
pieces can rarely be obtained from It,
and it is chiefly valuable for the
"burls, or tough excrescences which
grow upon the trunk. These, when
polished, are of singular and striking
beauty, the grain being twisted in beau
tiful, though symmetrically, intricate
figures. Next to this so-called French
walnut, ebony is probably the most
valuable of the cabinet woods. Ebony,
also, is difficult to get in pieces of size,
fact which quite as much as its deep
dark hue causes it to be priced. Rose
wood and mahogany are also choice
woods, and are just now particularly
fashionable and in demand. The best
mahogany is that OF San Domingo,
though nearly as gooi wood comes
from Cuba, Honduras, Mexico and Al
rlca. These woods are to be had at
fair prices. as there is considerable
quantity in the market. Fair rose
wood is selling in the market for from
81 to cents pound. in the log. OF
the domestic woods, bird's-eye maple
is very handsome for cabinets, and is
very popular. The red variety of
beech is 4 beautiful wood, and can be
made to initiate cherry. Oak, ash and
whitewood can be worked up very
handsomely by simply using good
filler and bringing out the natural
beauty of the wood by hard polishing.
Black walnut of the best quality also
presents beautiful appearance when
subjected to the same treatment.-
