ADMIRAL COURBET.
The French Naval Commander Bur
iad=lmnQsinp Services,


TIL, body of Admiral Courbet, late COM
mander of the French naval force in Tonquin,
was inferred in the Hotel dies Invaldes. Paris.
A largo assemblage attended the burial cere-
monies, Notwithstanding the weather was in
clement In the concourse were dcputations
of the senate and chamber of deputies and at
tachcs of foreign legations. The edifice
was heavily draped with mourning and pre-
sented most impressive appearance. A
large model of the Bayard, the flagship of the
French fleet commanded in China by the
deceased had been constructed in front
of the building. The coffin was placed
in q colossal sarcophagus, which was
ornamented at the corners by stat
ues of Faith, Hope. Charity and Re-
ligion, and which bore escutcheons en-
blazoned with scenes of the battle in which
Admiral Courbet had taken leading part:
This was lighted by incense burners and
tapcrs, which emitted green flames and cast
q weird glimmering through the darkened
recesses of the chapel where the body lay.
During the funeral ceremonies French troops
paraded slowly up and down the esplanade
and atterward filed past the coffin.

THE OLD RAIL FENCE.
I'm told that foreign tourists without fear of

Tn told that foreign tourists without fear of
consequence,
Lightly speak of one old landmark-of our
1gzag rail-split fence
When talking of their travels They would
have us understand
They thought little of this treasure held so
dear in Yankeeland
But the rail fence in its windngs heede:h not
the critic, lightly
Commenting on its symmetry. On it winds
so gay and free;
And capricious convolutions of the grain in
careless sway
Weave lines of beauty round its form which
no artist can portray.
Oft I've fingered in its angles busy with a
hundred thoughts
About its weather. beaten stains of moss, its
shaggy, oakcn knots,
And hosts Of "reminiscences and objects
quantity seen,
And the changing lights and shadows of gray
and satin sheen.
The old rail fence contents itself with wreaths
of flowers to dress,
Their creeping nlalows all conspire to hide
their nakedneSS,
And stone piles in the corners clothe them
selves with ivy vine,
And dewbcry and cinque-foil round about
the stakes entwina.
Tall brambles rise and yield their snowy
bloom to rihing bees,
Or later hang their tempting fruit among the
yellow leaves;
There are no raspherries half so large, nor
haZclnuts so brown,
tumblinS down
There rich green beds Of sweet fern gave
their aromatic SAVIOR
To merry maid who there eSSayed to seek and
WOO their favor.
And oft the frisky squirrel. in quest of nuts
of brown and gold
To garner for milwinter days, found mine
of wealth untold.
The white bloom of the anise tells of sweet
beneath the ground,
And artichokes and sunhowers are in rich
profuscn found;
Till eddying November winds in its sheltered
angles whiri
The dying leaves, and wnistling winter winds
around the corners curl
Anon the clouds of drifting snow bedim the
evergreens
And sweep across the meadows with the fu-
'rious rage Of 1iendS;
Battling down the great, gaunt mulleins and
red capped sumacs tall,
And powdering up the Old rail fence till it
stands whitened wall
Whirling, curling, drifting, till fantastic
peaks arise,
Their glistening forms in grandeur pointing
upward to the skies,
And huge oerhanging cliffs the rambling
rails enfold,
Their great blue-shadowed crescents white
and dazzling to behold.
Oh, Time! preserve this picture Photographic it
on my mind!
In richest colors print it there, leave no out
line underlined.
What care what foreign tourists tell, it's of
little consequence
They can never mar the beauty Of the zigzag
old rail fence.

Two neighbors, sitting on their door
steps, said they remembered distinctly
to have seen an old beggar leaving the
house, accompanied by great. gaunt,
black dog, which. as it walked along,
kept eating somcthing-something
brown, which its master was giving it.
The same evening the old woman re-
turned home. That night she slept well.

When she thought the time had come
old Mother Savcrini dressed herself in
mans clothes, disguised herself as an old
ragged bcggar. and made a bargain with
a Sandman fisherman to take both her
and the dog across the strait.
She had an immense piece of fried
sausage in canvas bag. Every once in
while she made Allegro smell it, so as
to excite him. The dog had eaten
nothing for TWO days.
They entered into Longo- o-Sardo. The
old CorSican woman walked with a
limping gait. She stopped at a butch
cr's shop and asked where Nicolo
Ravolati lived. He had gone back to
his old trade carpentcring. He worked
all alone at the rear of his shop.

and called him.

He turned his head; she instantly let
loose her dog, and cried out:
at him.-at him?-tear him, tear
him."
The maddened animal bounded for
ward and caught him by the throat.
The man struggled to throw off the
brutc-fcll on his back-writhcd, beat
the ground with his feet for a moment.
Then he lay very still, while Allegro
buried his muzzlc deeper and deeper in
his throat tearing the flesh away in great
shrcds.

How Cream of Tartnr is Made.

Cream of Tartar is made from argols,
the sediment fouad in wine casks. This
argols is either white or purple pow
der, according to the color of the wine it
comes from. 1t is put in air-tight
vessels and treated with steam and
water, which dissolvcs it. 1t is then
filtered through many thickncsses of
canvass, upon each of which it leaves a
thick crust of sediment, becoming more
and more pure as it advances. From
the filters it runs through 4 pipe and is
crystalizcd in copper vats shaped like
inverted pyramids. After that it is re-
dissolved, treated with bone black, re-
filtered and crystalizcd, and it is then
ready for the market. The sediment
left from the tiltrations of the cream of
tartar is made into tartaric
acid by being crystalized in leaden YES
sells after being condensed. 1t is dis
solved once more and run through bone
black, then crystalzcd again. Except
water the only materials used beside the
grape sediment is sulphuric acid, which
is odorless. This is used in making the
tartaric acid, being mixed with tartrate
of lime, which is the chief residue of the
cream of tartar fltrations, to form sui.
phatc of lime ard tartaric acid, and
which are easily separated, as one is a
solid and the other Il liquid.
