In houses wherein reside one or more
daughters OF a marriageable age an
empty tloWer-pot of an ornamental
character is encircled by a ring
and suspended from tho window or
>oranda by three light CHAINS. Now the
JUliets OF Japan are, Of course, attract
i've, and their Eoueos as anxious as
those of other Ian s. But instead of
rem .des by moonlight and other deli
cate'w ways OF making al impression, it
Is etiquette for the japanese lover to
approach tho dwelling of his lady bear
ing SONG choice plant in his hand,
which he proceeds to plant in the empty
fase. This takes place at time when
ne is fully assured that both mother and
daughter are at home, and | need
scarcely say that neither of them is at
all conscious that the young man is TAX
ing such liberty with the flower pot
outside their window
1t is believed that young lover so
engaged has never been seen by his
lady or by her mamma in this act of
sacrilege at any rate, my friend tells
mo that during his long residence in
Japan he never heard OF any one being
detected in the act or interferred with
in any way. The fact is, this act Of
placing pretty plant into the empty
Tower pot is equivalent to formal pro
posal te the young lady who dwells
within, and this eastern fashion is, rs
thipk, a most delicate and harmless
way of r)posing to lady. Theyouth-
full gardener having settled his plant
to his mind retires, and the lady is free
to act as she pleases. II he is the right
man she takes every care of his gift,
waters it and tends it carefully with
her own hands, that all the world may
see, in word, that the donor is ae-
cepted as a suitor. But if he not IA
vorite, or if stern parents OBJ ect, the
poor plant is torn from the vase, and
the next morning lies limp and withered
on tho veranda or On the path below.

The pitter-sweet Fruits.
ATLANTA G. n ,iitutioa.l !

With the good effects of education
are perceptible some of the penalties of
increased mental exercise. The clearest
of these is the increased number of in
sane among the negroes. Lunacy was
practically unknown among the slaves
in the south. There was a small per
cent. of idiots, but such a thing as a
negro "going crazy" was hardly ever
heard OF Freedom and the enlarged
exercise os their mental faculties have
made them liable to the disease of the
mind. Tria,s of negroes for lunacy are
comparatively frequent now, and are
constantly growing more common.
They have tasted the hitter sweet fruits
of the tree Of knowledge.

An Interesting Discovery.

An interesting discovery has lately
been made at Sidon. some natives who
were excavatng for stone, after pene-
trating through the alluvid soil, dug
through deposit of blown sand six
meters in depth, below which they
found stratum of earth containing
,.int and stone implements, fragments
of coarse red pottery and other objects,
among which clay whistle may be
noted. II is clear, therefore, that the
Phoenician city of SidOn was preceded
by an older settlement, whose inhabit-
ants were still in the stone age.

Separating IrOa Gre.
New Yor5 Tim as.l


Herr Wenstrom, a Swedish engineer,
has invented a machine for separating
iron ore, apparently one of great utility
as an ad unct to the appliances of iron
furnaces and one of which use can be
found at rolling mills and engineering
works. a hollow cylinder is caused to
rotate horizontally by means Of cog
wheels at its ends. In the center of the
cylinder is kind Of drum of iron bars
which is made highly magnetic by an
electric apparatus.
Iron ores are fed over the cylinder as
it rotates, and If the fragmtnt adhere
to it so long as the magnetic action of
the iron drum su:fieeS TO er the neces-
sary action, Eut fall off on the reverse

their richness. The feeding must be
done very carefully and the ores must

A Queer story About Margaret Fuller.


AS every topic comes up at the elegant
lunch and dinner tables OF Newport, so
| was not astonLshed to hear lady say
that she knew of the grave of Margaret
Fuller. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who
was present, and who had written life
of Margaret Fuller, was astonished, as
it is reputed in all the lives written of
thaS extraordinarily resurrected person,
the Marchesi Ossoli, that her tody
never reached land. An old fisherman
at Fire Island, however, told lady
who was in the habit of going there
several years ago, that he found the re-
mains OF Margaret Fuller lying on the
beach in her nightgown, which was
marked by her name, and that he wrote
to the brothers Fuller and Horace
Greeley about it without receiving any
answer; that ne went up to New York
to see Mr.. Greeley, but he seemed to
take no notice of the fact; and that he
then buried Margaret Fuller at Coney
Island, and could identity the spot.
