The Vale of Cashmere,

Cashmere, which has just been de-
vastated by an earthquake, is a king
dom in the northwest part of India.
including the Vale of Cashmere, made
famous by the poet Moore Seringur,
the capital, has population of about
one hundred and thirty-five thousand.
1t extends about four miles along both
sides of a deep and placid stream,
about three hundred feet wide. From
its delightful situation, and innumer-
able canals, Seringur has been called
the Venice of Asia; but the city is, for
the most part, extremely filthy. The
houses, whica are generally dilapidat-
ed, are built of thin bricks, with tim
Der frames, many of them three stories
high. Sixty thousand persons can
worship in the mosque. The capital
is the center of the shawl manufac>

robust, well-formed, and industrious

and fine compilations They are a
gay people. fond of pleasure, litera
ture and poetry, but are represented
by many travellers as peerless in cum

the beauty of their vale, the popula

10000 to 10000 by pestilence, fam,

Red Sunsets.
From Science.

Professor Kiessling, of Harrisburg,
has given special attention to the ia
nous sunset question, and during the
past year has devised number of ex-
periments for illustrating the action
of minute solid or liquid particles on
sunlight, by which sky celOrs are
produced. He has lately summarized
his results in a pamphlet, entitled
''Die Observation-Disclosures i'm
Jahre 1883, und hire Physikallsche
Erklarung." DIfraction is consider
ed the most important optical process
that contributes to the result, as the
dull, reddish ring around the monday
sun, the horizon colors at sunset and
the purple and other CLOVIS half an
hour later are all ascribed to this
action. The explanation of the pur-
pie and pinkish CLOVIS Is especially apt
and ingenious, and more to the point
than any other solution of the ques-
ton thai. has been presented. An inn
portant supplement to his pamphlet
describes the construction of an APP
paratus designed to illustrate his ex-
plantations experimental!y. He is a
strong supporter of the volc anic origin
of the particles on which the diffract-
ing water particles have condensed

Why Her Lover Enlisted.

The secret of George s. Carriers dis
appe france last September, says an
Uxbridge, Mass, telegram TO The
New York World, has been cleared
up by the publication of little love
story with a romantic sequel In which
Garter figures as the live hero. Young
Garter was engaged to a young lady
living here, ana preparations had
been made for the nuptials. On the
evening of the second day before the
appointed time young Garter drove to
the home of mis- affianeed and asked
her to take a ride. She made some
excuse for preferring to stay at home
that evening, and Carter drove off
alone in sad and detected frame of
mind. He was not satisfied with her
treatment of him, and this dissatis
faction was rather heightened an
hour or so later when he saw his
young lady with another young man
with whom he had not been on good
terms, and of whom he was rather
jealous. de followed the young
couple to know where they intended
TO go aad learn how late they would
remain together. He was satisfied
that his betrothed was not true to
him, and he drew his savings amount
ing to $1,000. from the bank and
started to New York. where he en-
listed in the regular army. His de
parture caused sensation, and for a
long time no one could tell the cause
of Carriers departure nor his destina-
ton. At length letter came from
New Mexico telling his parents that
their SON was a soldier. He Srote
again. asking their help In getting
discharge from the army, and his an
xiety was no doubt increased when he
learned that his parents had been left
$50, 900 by the death of a relative.
The war secretary has not yet replied
favorably and is rather inclined to
deny the petition on the ground that
enlistments are very scarce.

Perhaps your affections are still dis

In this case there are plenty of wish

of water, holding the hair between
the finger and thumb. If the ring
hit against the side CT the glass, the
holder will die an old maid if it turns
quickly around, she will be married
once; if slowly, twice. Should the
ring strike the side of the glass more
than three times after the holder has
pronounced the name of her lover,
there will be a lengthy courtship and
nothing more; 'she will be courted to

English noblemen visited Gen. Long

wanted to see the troops pass in re-

good fighting material, was not much
to look at. There was scarcely man
who had whole suit of clothes, and
rags futtered On the breeze in every
direction as the men moved about.
However, by picking and choosing,
enough men were gotten for the front
rank to make respectable appear

You see, we were all fools enough TO
be ashamed of our rags, when we
