Some American Notes by An Observing
 EnglisI,man.
 The ordinary Amercan is apparently always in hurry. He eats quickly, drinks his liquor at gulp, travels quickly, thinks quickly, and likes to read his newspaper quickly, and to grasp in an augenblick Gas the Germans would say) what is going on all over the world. The journalist supplies him in consequence with cleverly-construct- ed headlines, so worded that glance at them tells the contents of the article which follows, and enables him to decide whether or not it contains matter which newspapers in the United States q man is especially engaged to write these headlines, and some of them are mar vels of skillful epItomizing. For peo- pie who demand such brief yet con- plete epitome of events, it were wo SC than useless in an editor to publish full details. It is therefore impressed upon every newspaper writer that he shall aim at concSanesS on every occasion. It is hardly possible that there can be any speech, address, lecture or sermon worthy of reporting at length; it is i'm possible that any trial, examination or meeting can be worthy of report in eXtenso. You have so much space" says the editor to the reporter 'say all you can in that" And even after this injunction tine editor will generally find use for his brute pencil.
 lop af fbo of American newspaper is expected to keep his eyes and ears wide open. He must be on the alert to catch and re- member all that is going on around him. veritable picker-up of unconsidered trifes. On this account there is a friendly rivalry always in existence be- tween the staffs of all the newspapers in city. Each man is ever trying to obtain piece of news for his paper that no other pa per will have on the following morning, and hence the brightness and originality of American newspapers, though it is also from this cause that too often their news is untruStworthv. But then, the American rece tive facul- ties are constituted differently fro the English. What is read in the news papers in the United States is always taken cum grano sails, and the true American will sooner by far read a racily-written article, be it ever so short, and not altogether correct in details. then he will sit and peruse a lengthy thoHgh absolutely correct account of the most important event of the day. Of this fact the journalist is fully aware; he therefore prepares an ola-podrida of paragraphs. clippings, telegrams, short editorials, personal chats, special articles and Satirical Sometimes scur- rilous) critiques on everything and everybody.

WOMAN'S HOBBIES.
A Lady's Irrepressibic Mania for Baking
 Ginger Cake+

A Lady's Irrepressibic Mania for Baking
 Ginger Calxe'.
 Women sometimes have very queer hobbies. One of the most influential members of an uptown church is lady distinguished for her piety and good works, who can not for the life of her k CD from batting her hands together every time she hears music. She oc- casionally scandalizes the religious folk who occupy pews near her own by starting up this batting when the church organ rol out the voluntary. Often she pats so loud that the noise can be heard all up and down the aisle, and the usher gets wild with anxiety lest some one will come to him and con- plain about it. The husband of the iadv has demonstrated with her about the habit, and she has promised time after time never to do it again. She has tried wearing thick, soft gloves and keeping her hands in her huff, but It is of no avail, for when she can't pat her hand she makes twice as much racket with her feet, and her husband has concluded that he prefers the lesser evil of the two. No one has yet been able to cure her of her hobby. While batting her hands she sits with smile on her face, as one rapt. lean remem- Der, now, six other women afflicted with hobbies. One of them is. baking ginger cake. This remarkable woman is positively unhappy unless she is in the kitchen. She makes, on an aver age, one thousand ginger cakes week during the winter months, and gives them away to her friends. She regu- larly presents large painful of them to the mite society of the church to be distributed around among the needy of the parish. They are good cakes, too, 1 can assure you. She has been known to cook all night, and there hasn't been festival during the last ten years at which her ginger cakes have not been on the bill of fare When she goes to visit her friends first question is: "Are those ginger cakes all gone?' If they are, and they usually are, she takes off her shawl and walks down to the kitchen in business like manner and proceeds 10 cook a painful of cakes, just as unconcernedly as though she was i'll her own house. Once in a while-pretty often, should say-her husband goes home for his dinner as hungry as a lord and finds his better half up in the next square baking cakes for Mrs. K. or Mrs. C., with no meal cooked nor any table set. The husband has no resort but to go down town and buy his meal at a restaurant. She goes out for a morning call and stays all day, having cooked cakes at three residences while away.-Ba Baltimore Herald

PERCHERON SWALLOWS.
Why Farmers Buy Them.

During these hard times, when near ly every farm product is so low in price that it hardly seems worth raising, we sec many of our most intelligent and progressive farmers, who have not hitherto been interested in horse breed ing, buying finely bred high priced Percheron stallions. This to many is a source of astonishment, but is the re- suit of observation that large, we'll formed active horses always have been, and necessarily must continue to be, in active demand at large prices on ac- count of the scarcity in the United States of suitable stallions for their production, all such having to be im- ported. The yearly increasing demand for such stalliOns is the best evidence that such investments are profitable. And to this fact is due the development of large importing and breeding estab- Hshmcnts, notably among which and largely exceeding all others is that of Mir. M. W. Dunham's "Oaklawn Farm," at Wayne, Illinois.

4 Lady Kills a Bear.

A California paper tells how two la,
 dies, one about nineteen years of age, and the other an elderly mother-in- law of the first-named, dispatched a big bear. They were passing a bear trap near their home, when they saw that bear had caught his foot under the door of the trap. Procuring an axe and rifle they returned to the trap where his bearship was growing and making terrible efforts to extricate him. self. The elderly lady, armed with the axe, mounted the tree, and the daugh. ter-in-law, at a few paces distant, placed the contents of the rifle in old Bruins brain. After the crack of the gun the old lady piled blow after blow upon the head of the old hog-stcaler, and after D hard struggle succeeded in send ing Bruin to other happy hunting grounds. The ladies skinned and dressed the bear, its weight being near six hundred pounds. Chicago Times.

A Cure For Snoring.

It is related of Sir Humphrey Davy, an eminent scientist, that among his minor discoveries was theory of snor- ing and way of curing it. He attrib- uted snoring to dry or parched state of the larynx caused by mouth-breath- ing, and in an inveterate case he tried to cure it by putting piece of castile soap in the mouth of the sonorous sleep CT. He found that this plan was success ful-the oily ingredients of the soap lu- bricating the larynx, while 'the soda of the soap is forcibly expelled in the form of strong alkaline language by the snorer, who awakens the moment the decomposition begins" Soft soap is said to be more powerful remedy for the same purpose. Snorers who prefer to escape the application of this means of cure may do so by retiring with handkerchief tied under the chin and over the head, which will keep the mouth shut and the throat moist. .-HealM Monthly.

Cure for Hydrophobia.

The following is the case of hydlo- phobia cured by Dr. Tastcur, which he has just announced to the French Aca emy: A boy, twelve years of age, named Meister, who had been bitten fourteen times, came from Alsace with his mother to see Dr. Pasteur. The autopsy of the dog which had bitten the boy lief no tOubt as to its having suffered from hydroph0bia. Dr. Pas teur took the celebrated Dr. Vulpian and professor of the School of Medi- cine to see the boy. They came to the conclusion that the boy was doomed to painful death and might be experimented upon. In thirteen days iDoculations were made upon Meister with pieces of spinal marrow containing virus of constantly increasing strength, the last being from the spine of rabbit that died only the day Def re. A hundred days have passed since Melster underwent the last inOculation. The treatment has been successful, and the boy is in perfect health. He had been bitten sixty hours, and had travelled from Alsace to Paris before the first inocula. ton was performed. A shepherd named Judith, aged fifteen was bitten by a mad dog a fortnight ago, and has now been week under treatment. Dr. Pasteur IS confident of curing him.-M r. Post.

Hen RooStS.

Each hen in house should have one foot of space on the roosts. One hun. dred hens, then, would require fouI roosts twenty-five feet long, and to pre-. vent the hens crowding too much upon the top roosts these should all be on the same level. The roosts should be one foot apart, and be arranged in frame hinged to the wall, so they can be lifted and hooked up for the purpose of clean ing. The roosts will take up four feet, and there should be eight feet more floor space; thus a house for one hundred hens should be twenty-five by twelve feet on the floor inside, and should be at least six feet high in the rear and nine Net high in the front, with ample ven. tilation.-C Cincinndti Commercial.

OYSTERS OUT OF WATER.
How They Can Be Kept Fresh From
 Eight to Twelve Weeks.

Eight to IWelV6 WeeRS.
 In the Bulletin of the United States Commission, Prof. A. E. Yerrill says: My attention was recently called by Captain c. H. Townsend to large clus- ter of oysters attached to an old boot which had been hanging in the front windows of the fish market of Charles Reed, in this city, for long time. This cluster was taken from the water in the early part of December, 1881 (about the 10th, it is said), and when I examined it on February 25th, several of the larger oysters were still alive. l am told that they continued to livef for some days afterward. The larger ores, which were still alive, were of about the size ordinarily sold in the market. Most of the smaller oues were dead, and many of the larger ones, of which th9 edges had been broken or chipped, were dead and dried up when I saw them. Those that were alive had all been hung up with the front edge of tue she'll doa0n and the hinge upward. They had been hang ing in the show window, attached to a gas burner, during the whole time Cover ten weeks), freely exposed to the air and light. The room was, of course, rather cool, as such shops Il ually arc in winter, and the window space, al- though ope freely to the shop, was doubtless still cooler, especially at night, but the air must have been dry and the temperat,'re quite variable. The window faces 10 the west, and would have direct sunlight in the after noon. The remarkable duration of the life of these oysters is undoubtedly due to two causes:
 l. The perfect condition of the edges of the shells, which allowed them to close up very tightly.
 ?. The position. suspended as they were, with the front edge downward, is the most favorable position for the retention of water within the gill cav ity, for in this position the edges of the mantle would closely pack against the inner edges of the shell, cltectuallY closing any small leaks, and the re- tained water would also be in the most favorable position to moisten the gills, even after part had evaporated. It is also possible that when in this position the oyster instinctivcly keeps the shell tightly closed. to prevent the loss of water.
 This incident may give hint as to the best mode of transporting oysters and clans long distances. Perfect shells shou! be selected, and they should be packed with the front edge do10nward, and kept moderately cool. in a crate or some such receptacle which will allow free circulation of air. Under such favorable conditions se- lected oysters can doubtless be kept from eight to twelve weeks out of water. Probably the quahaug, or round clam, which has a very tightly closing shell. when perfect can be kept equally long in the same Scientific An1erica1s.
