No lodge" Nonsense.

Many wives have complained Of their
utter inability to keep their husbands at
home on "lodge nights" but Mrs. Alex
ander Harvey, of Gloucester, N. j., is
a woman whose brain is fertile in expe-
dents. She made up her mind shortly
after her marriage not to stand any
"lodge" nonsense from her husband.
With Mrs. Harvey to resolve was equiv
alent to carrying out her purpose, and
it soon came to pass that Mr.. Harvey
remained away from his lodge-room
night after night. He remained at
home because he was physically unable
to 60 out, but the cause of his disability
he did not learn until later. Finally he
discovered that Mrs. Harvey was in the
habit of applying croton oil to the inside
of certain of his garments, and the result
was number Of eruptions on his limbs
which caused him great pain. For
twelve months he was subject at odd
times to these eruptions, and when the
cause was explained it may be readily
understood that he was the maddest
man in New Jersey. A separation took
place, and upon Mrs. Harvey's applica-
ton for alimony the injured husband
made all facts public. The case excites
great merriment, and bids fair to rank
as a cause celebre.

Wrecks of Club Life.

/ think | see about as many wrecks OF
club life in New York as there are
wrecks of bar-room life. Many of these
clubs afford unexampled opportunities
for adventures, who could not else
where hand around the subscription list,
start the game and presume upon the
freshness of their fellow-members. We
borrow many things from England far
worse than anything Indigenous here.
l was recently talking to a broken-down
men in this city who inherited some
thousands of pounds, and with a por-
ton of it bong int place in a British
regiment. That was few years ago,
before the buying of commissions had
been abolished. He was recommended
to buy Lieutenancy in very stylish
regiment, in which one of the British
Princes was the nominal Colonel.
He had to pay high for the place, and
then the acting Colonel presumed to
make suggestions to him, which were
in the light of orders. He told him,
for example, that there were three
horses he could sell him which he ought
to have. OF course he bought the
horses at several times their value, and
they proceeded to eat their heads off.
And then, whenever q ball was given
in honor of Lady Shoepeg or Lady
Shoofly, the Colonel notified the officer
that he was expected to take so many
tickets, and contribute so much.
He was then invited to gamble, and
to refuse would have been to appear
juvenile, and perhaps lose the Coloners
regard. So he gambled. This did not
exhaust his money fast enough, and he
was next shown a great point on the
Stock Exchange.
Next he made a match with woman
of title, gave her elaborate presents,
and about the time he was drawing
near the end of his purse she ran off
and married fellow-otficer, who was
coming into something, as the phrase
goes. So the young man sold his COM
mission and started for one of the Brit
ish colonies, where he found the oppor-
tunities for starving so good that he APP
peared in New York City with another
wife whom he had married for revenge,
and broom, and he was sweeping out
a store on Broadway. This is {. good
deal like some portions of New York
club life, with the omission of the fact
that the young man never gets as high
as the broom.-G0M.

Krodhagara is an odd-looking word.
1t is Hindoo, and has a meaning of par
ticular interest to young people, who in
India often hear it.
In America, when child is so very
cross that he cannot get over his bad hu-
NOR without help, his mother says to
him, "Go into the corner, my dear, until
you are in better temper" Sometimes
she goes so far as to send him into the
closet, or up into the garret. We have
heard that in old times the cellar and
the barn were occasionally designated as
the place of exile. But in old times par
ents were little too severe. We should
not object to the barn; but the cellar,
where the potatoes and the coal are keTt
and where rats too frequently scamper
and gnaw, is not calculated to restore
any child to good humor.
In the land OF the Hindoos, who are a
very amiable and gentle people, there is
in many houses room called the Krod
Niagara, or the Chamber of Bad Humor,
which serves the purpose of the corner
| Just referred to.
'You had better 60 into the Krod-
| udDdTd, my Cullu, OuoCINCS tuO IllnbOV
mother, when little Tom is disturbed in
mind. "and there remain until you feel
rs blessed Hindoo child ought tosfeel. "
This apartment serves still more i'm
portant use in the family. 1t sometimes
happens to those far-off heather lands,
strange as it may seem to us in land
where every one is always amiable and
good-tempered, that the mother herself
is not in the best humor; sometimes the
father is positively cross; sometimes a
mother in law is less amiable than usual,
and occasionally grandparent does not
enjoy the festive morn when the cruel is
lumpy. ~.'
In such cases the afflicted person goes,
of his own accord, into the Krodhagara,
and stays there until he feels himself in
benign accord with all mankind, and in
particularly good humor with his own
family. - Youths Companion.

Making Pretzels.

The ordinary reader undoubtedly
knows something in general way about
the bakers art, but in a cosmopolitan
city there are about as many varieties of
the staff of life as there are nationalities.
The pretzel is peculiar to the German
table, and perhaps the process of prepar-
ing it is less familiar in this country than
that of any other article of food. Flour,
yeast, water, and a great deal of salt are
the sole ingredients OF which the dough
out of which the pretzel is evolved is
composed. 1t is tough and heavy, and
after having been well kneaded is placed
in great heaps on long table in front of
the workmen. They grab it up by hand
fuls, roll it out in long, thin strips, and
then curl and tie it up into the queer
shapes in which it makes its appearance
in beer saloons and cheap lunch counters.
A iourneyman baker is expected to make
one pretzel every two seconds. After it
has assumed its definite form it is laid
upon a wooden rack in the middle of the
room. Rack after rack is thus filled, and
they are piled one above another, Each
one contains 100 pretzels. A thousand
are generally prepared Ior tne oven pe-
fore the baking begins. The ovens are
of enormous size. The pretzels are
baked very thoroughly, and are regarded
as especially wholesome for this reason.
Then comes the most singular part of
the process. Racks, charged with pret-
zels, are dipped in a weak solution of
lye, the effect of which is to give to their
surface bright and glossy appearance.
After being thickly sprinkled with salt
they are ready for sale. Those that are
intended for shipment, or to be kept for
some time, undergo an additional pro
cess. They are placed in a steam box,
and remain there for two or three hours.
This sort of cure makes them proof
against mold or souring for months.
One of the greatest peculiarities of pref.
zels is their salty taste, and they conduce
to the greater consumption of beer. But
so much salt is used simply for the pur
pose of preventing them from becoming
stale. They are fayorite part of the
rations of the Prussian army.-Saa Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Hanlkerchiefs.

A handkerchief was the square of fine
linen formerly employed by women to
cover the head, but more recently used
in the hand, and not as a covering only.
The term handkerchief is not met with
earlier than in the fifteenth century,
when in the "Wardrobe Accounts of
Edward w." we find ''V dozen hand
couverchieffes" are named as having been
made by one Alice Shapster, to whom a
payment had been made. Modern hand
kerchiefs are to be had of different di-
mentions, those for women being smaller
than those for men. They are produced
in silk, both Chinese and Indian, as well
as in English; of cambric, cotton and
muslin; some designed for the pocket
and others for the neck.
Some of the Indian silk ones are in
self colors, Others have patterns upon
them and are necessarily of two colors.
These are known as bandana handker-
chiefs. Cambria, muslin, cotton and
giugham handkerchefs are to be had
with hemstitch or ribbon borders, and
some are more or less embroidered; 9th.
ers have black or colored borders in va
rious designs.
Bales of colorcd cotton handkerchief:
are Manufactured in this country in
Oriental colors and designs, so prepared
to suit the native taste for the Indian ex.
port trade. Trimmings of lace applied
to handkerchiefs first came into fashion
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.-D0r

IIahiIs or EeIs.

Any one standing early in June on the
banks of the Delaware, or any stream
communicating with the sea in which
eels are caught, may see large black
streak moving up stream, near the shore.
Close examination will show that this
strange object is made up of thousands
upon thousands of living creatures, none
of them larger than milliner's needle.
They are young eels, which have been
hatched in the mud at and below tide
water, and which are on their way to
their summer homes in the rivers and
creeks that empty into it. BY the time
they reach the upper waters they have
grown to a length of three or four inches,
and when they run down in the fall they
will be a foot long. The fact that cells
will travai around obstacles in streams
by lana to get to water above is also well
established. They must have grassy OF
mossy ground to travel over, however,
and it must be during or after rain,
or by night, while the grass is wet with
dew.

Curious Incidents in New York Life.

Street-begging fourshes, notwith-
standing frequent arrests. A fellow
whose legs bend backward from the
knees has been making this popularity
highly profitable, having won the SYM
pathy Of benevolent ladies in the street
by his way of walking. He came from
Cincinnati last spring, and recently wrote
his wife letter urging her to come to
this city, adding, 81 am doing splen-
didly." These facts came out on his
arrest, and he is now serving out a term
at Blackwell's island.
Another scheme, and one far more
adroit, has recently come to notice. A
lady applied at the surrogate's office for
legacy which had been left her. The
clerk denied any knowledge concerning
the matter, and then learned that a
stranger had called on the applicant and
notified her that a legacy awaited her.
For this good news she paid him two
dollars, which he asked as a compensa-
ton for his time, and thus she learned
too late that she had merely been VIC
tim to new method of swindling. Alas
what crooked ways these confidence men
have, and always getting up something
new!
One of the strangest features in recent
criminal procedure was the indictment
of Edward Congdon, youth of four
teen, for larceny in having stolen sta
tionery of the value of one cent. This
seems petty business, and unworthy q
court of justice. 1t is the first time, in
deed, so small sum was ever men
toned in criminal charge. The ex-
planation, however, is found in the fact
that this indictment was the only way oi
stopping an ingenious fraud. The young
cul prit had been employed as messen
ger boy by the telegraph company, but
had been discharged. He then stole &
number of blank envelopes, which hi
used to manufacture fictitious messages
These he delivered and collected tht
fee. His method was to learn by the
papers the arrival of any man of note
to whose hotel he would immediatel!
convey message. The fraud was yer!
ingenious, and yet it was soon detected
and now we have the cent indictmen
for larceny.-"Hermit," IN Troy Times.
