Briton and Muscovite in Central Asia.


From the New York Mail and Express
A year ago this very month Russia
seized the Merv oasis, and the Merry
fortress, only 24O miles from Herat,
which is generally regarded as the key
to India, was garrisOned for any
siege which might be brought against
it, This advance of the Muscovite in
Asia, which it has been the especial OBJ
iect of England for many years to pre-
vent, caused great Indignation among
the British people, and the fear was
excited that Russia might attempt to
push her boundaries still further,
and even the seizure of Afghanistan
was believed to be threatened, should
England find herself too much alb
sorbed in other matters to proper
" protect her interests in Asia. The
correspondence between Lord Gran
vile, British secretary for foreign af-
fairs, and M De Giers, the Russian
foreign minister, indicates that En-
gland feels the need Of vigorous action
to prevent Russian encroachments
which may endanger her possessions
in India, and his latest dispatches are
believed virtually to have made an ulti-
1I1c1Cll1I1 vi Ol1C O1lCbU 1llloc1cU
shallnOt attempt to seize the stateglc
points In Afghanistan
It has often been predicted that
Briton and Muscovite will sooner or
later cross swords in Central Asia,
and if the struggle is inevitable, it is
better for England that it should come
before Russia has advanced near
enough to British India to be able to
make a revolt Of the Sepoys one of it's
important factors. England already
has war-like enterprises enough to
make her people very serious, But if
Bismarck has contrived a plan,
through the recent meeting of the
three emperors, for the aggrandize-
ment of other great powers at her ex-
pense, every Briton will demand that
action be taken to prevent her humili-
alton and thwart the German chan

About Walking,
From the Herald of HeaIth.I

From the Herald of Health
Every healthy person, man or wo-
man, should be a good walker, able at
any time to walk six to twelve miles a
day at least, and double that when
gradually brought up to it. The points
to be attended to are, to see that the
walk be brisk and vigorous, not of
lettering or dangling kind; that there
be some object in the walk besides it's
being q routine constitutional Ii. e.,
not like the staid promenade of the
orthodox ladies SCHOOL,, and, if pos
sible in pleasant company; that there
be no tight clothing, whether for the
feet or for the body, which will con-
strain or impede the natural move
ments of the limbs and trunk; and
that the walk be taken as far as pos
sible in the fresh country air. In re-
gard to this latter particular, although
towns are increasing SO rapidly as to
make it almost a Journey to get out
of them on foot, still wehave so many
suburban tramways and railway
lines that In few minutes we can find
ourselves in the country. where the
air is fresh and pure. Whenever an
opportunity presents itself for a little
climbing in the course Of walk, it
should be taken advantage of. We
gain variety of muscular action, as
we'll as increase the exertion, and we
get into regions of purer air and fresh
er breeze at the same time What may
be considered as the weak point in
walking as a mode of exercise is the
comparatively small play which it
gives to the muscles of the shoulders
and chest while it is still less for those
of the arm. This should be compen-
stated for by the use Of light dumb
bells>or Indian clubs, or some other
form of exercise which brings in play
the arms and shoulders One Of Che
forms of exercise which requires the
action of the muscles Of the arms and
shoulders, as well as those of the trunk
and legs, is swimming. This, however,
for many reasons, cannot be used as a
means Of exercise except by a few, and
at certain seasons of the year, but
where possible it should always be
practised. The great pity is that boys
and girls do not learn it, as rule,
while at school. Every large town
should be well provided with swim
ming baths, and if it could be made
compulsory for scholars at a certain
age, say IL, to learn to swim, it would
be great advantage to all, and also
be the means of saving many lives.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
APPLE SNOW.


Pare, core and bring to boil in as
little water aspossible six tart apples
cool, strain, beat well, and add the
whipped whites of three eggs, sweeter
to taste, beat well until dish of snow
IS the result; flavor with lemon
Serve with whipped cream.
LITTLE BAKED CUsTARDS.
Eight well-beaten eggs, leaving out
two whites for frosting; three pints
milk; sWeeten and flavor to taste
bake IN custard cups beat thereserved
whites to a stiff froth with q little
sugar; spread over the top and return
to the oven to brown.
MOONSHINE.
Beat the whites of six eggs to very
stiff roth, add gradually six table
spoonfuls OF powdered sugar. beating
1t long time, and then beat in about
a heaping tablespoon of preserved
peaches cut in tiny bits; set on ice
until thoroughly chilled. Serve this
with whipped cream, sweetened and fla
vored with vanilla.
FROSTED ORANGES.
Pare oranges, remove every particle
OF the inner skin; divide them into
lobes taking care not to break the
skin; beat the whites of two eggs or
moreto astiff froth; add a tablespoon
OF water to the stiffened whites; dip
the orange lobes in this and roll part
of them in pulverized sugar and part
IN pink sugar sand and lay them on
paper to dry. When dry heap them
IN a glass dish, the red and white
together and mix a few green leaves.
This IS a pretty dish.
BLANC NANCE
A half box of gelatine, dissolved in
as much cold water as will cover it,
one quart of sweet milk, one cup of
sugar; boil the milk over hot water,
with sugar, five minutes; add gelatine,
and boil five minutes more, stirring
constantly; flavor with q little vanilla
and put into molds. If you choose
you can color a portion Of the blanc
mango with red sugar sand, making q
pretty pink. Another portion may
be colored yellow with the grated peel
OF an orange or lemon, moistened with
the juice and strained through acloth.
And yet another portion brown with
a tablespoonful of chocolate, wet with
a very little boiling water. 1t is pretty
to arrange mold in this way, putting
in the brown first, keeping the mold in
a cool place. When it begins to thick
Ell put in the yellow, then the pink,
and finally the white. Let each color
partially harden after you put it in
the mold before putting on the next.
You must keep the parts, before you
put in the mold, in warm place SO as
not to harden.

"BLEssED ARE We THAT SOW"
BY SAMUEL BAXTER FOSTER.

Life is thy seed-time, brother man,
The soil is ready and meet;
The time before thee is but span,
But the burrows are under thy feet.
Freely dids't thou of thy Lord receive
Mercy and pity and love;
Freely, then, of thy fullneSs give,
Sow now and reap above.
Gaze on those shivering sons of want.
Hungry and chill and bare,
With furnished eyes, with clothing scant,
And wild, neglected air;
Here scatter thy seed and it shall bring
Fruit to hundred-fold;
From deserts as barren this shall spring
More than thy barns can hold.
A felon lies in your dark cell,
Brooding in silence grim;
Tomorrow will ring his dying knell,
Hast thou no seed for him?
Not a pityng tear? nor word OF hope?
Nor an interceding prayer?
Before the grip of the stranging rope
Launches his spirit-where?
There are wounded spirits and hopeless breasts
And cheeks ne'er free from tears;
There are minds where ignorance deeply rests,
Together with SlaviSh fears;
Where err thou turneSt thy wand ring feeU,
Through this sad world below,
There is plenty of soil ready and meet
For that thou hast to SOW.
Sow not through love of this world pef
Nor for mans approving nod
Sow not through paltry love of self,
But SOW through love for God!
See, too, o man, thy seed be cast,
Not with niggardly hand,
That thou may st reap, when thy tolls are past,
On the plains of thy Father s land.

Tecumseh and the Apache Chief
From the San Francisco Chronicle

FROM Une san + fdIclScO OllfOluCltl
At Fort Bayard for a long time
there lay an old spiked cannon, which
had been rendered useless for some
reason or another The Apache chief
of that district fell in love with that
cannon. He used to come every
day and beg thecommandant to giveit
to him. At length Gen. Sherman was
announced as coming, and the officer
told the Apache that he must ask him
for it. He did. The general looked
at it, saw it was of no use, and pre-
sented it to him.
~ am afraid" said the general with
mild iocosity, you want the cannon
so that you can turn it onmy soldiers
and kill them"
"Umph! no. Cannon kill cowboys.
Kill soldiers-club."
The general was sorry he spoke.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.


Like many other things in China, the
public revenue is an inscrutable
mystery. The F" Statesman's Year
Book" gives it at 1925, 900, 900 year
This is a mere guess. DR.. Medhurst
figures it out at about 100000, 1000.
Other authorities state it variously
from $350,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 1000.
Our. correspondent sets down the
revenue from customs at $50, 900,
and the revenue from the land tax is
variously estimated at from S27 ,OOO,-
600 to S4O,O00,OOO. Besides these
sources Of income the government
derives money from internal revenue
taxes on sales, on salt, on stamps, on
gunpowder, on the pearl fisheries, and
on licenses. There is also somereVenue
from government monopolies. If all
these various sources of revenue were
honestly exploited China would be in
receipt of an income which would
enable her to carry on war without
difficulty. Unfortunately, as is known,
the mandarins who collect the taxes,
embezzle more than half their proceeds,
so that no one can tell how much
money actually reaches the imperial

rain. set all hands to cooking itup, and
take hold yourself; but do not confine
yourself to a row. You can do more
good giving assistance where most
needed, and seeing that the cocks
are propely made. Now let us stop
and think. Have we gained anything
by the work We did in the morning by
shaking out and turning the hay? Pos
sibly not. But this is because We were
afraid of q shower, and cooked the hay
before it was fairly cured. If we wish
to draw it in tomorrow, we shall prob
ably have to open out :he cocks in the
morning, and an hour or two later turn
the hay, and in the afternoon draw it
in. Had we left the hay exposed all
day, and turned it at the time We
cooked, and then put it into cocks late
in the afternoon, we could have drawn
it in the next morning without more
work. And the pitcher would have
liked it better, because hay that has
stood in the cocks all night can be
pitched much easier, or at any rate, with
far less scattering and loss of leaves.
than that which is only just punched
up. The other plan of curing clover
hay is to cut it in the afternoon. Next
morning. if need be. shake, out any
lodged portions, or where the machine
has pulled it into wads. In the after
noon, rake it into windows and cock
it up with great care. Let it stay and
cure in these cocks three or four days.
If it is free from docks, MULLEN, tlistles
and other weeds. and if the weather is

Grape Eagging.

One of the most valuable discoveries
in grape culture is the improvement in
quality of the fruit and its safety from
blight, mildew. birds and insects by in
closing the punches in bags. 1t is also
q safeguard against late frosts. The
summer of 1854 demonstrated beyond
all doubt the great value of bagging
outdoor grapes. The early summer
was marked by a succession of cold,
almost frosty, nights, when the Young
grapes were making their first swelling,
and grapes not covered with paper
bags rotteI badly, while those thus pro-
tected did not rot at all. Some are de-
TERED from bagging their grapes from
the impression that it is . very eN-
pensive and troublesome job, whereas
it is comparatively cheap and easy.
The important point is to put the bags
over the clusters as soon as they are
set and before any injury has been done.
Get the ordinary grocers' bags. which
can be bought at very low rates in
quantity; slip the bag over the cluster
and lap the corners over around the
stems, insert a pin to secure them, clip
a corner of the bottom to let out the
rain, and the job is done. Any ono
who tries bagging grapes will be slow
to abandon the practice, even if it were
much more troublesome and expensive.

CANCER CONQUERED.

SaNS6N SONSOENCb.
For seven years past l have been suf-
fering with cancer on my face. AT
first it gave me but little trouble, and
1 paid very little attention to it. At
ter time it began to increase in size,
and also to pain me. The simple REM
edies were applied to alleviate the pain,
but was not conscious of its true ma
ture, thinking it only sore of malig-
nant nature, and would soon pass away
under the other treatment. In this I
was mistaken, as the place continued
to grow, extending into my nose, from
which came a yellowish discharge very
offensive in character. 1t was also in
famed, and annoyed me great deal.
About eight months ago was in At
lanta, at the house of friend, Mrs. G.
ID. H., who observed the condition of
my face, and so strongly recommended
the use Of Swift's Specific that deter.
mined to make an effort to procure it.
In this WAS successful, and began its
use. The influence of the medicine at
first was to somewhat aggravate the
sore; but soon the inflammation was
allayed, and began to improve after
the first few bottles. My general health
has greatly improved. I am stronger,
and able to do any kind Of work. The
cancer on my face began to decrease,
and the ulcer to heal, until there is not
a vestige of it left-only little scar
marks the place where it had been. 1
am dcvoutly grateful for this wonder
