The Peppermint King.


Hiram G. Hotchkiss, of Lyons, Wayne
County, is the peppermint king of the
world, and his name has been for many
years kept standing in the chief market
journals of all lands He is seventy
five years old, and native of Oneida
County. About 1887 he began buying
peppermint oil of the farmers about
Lyons, and in 1S41 he abandoned a gen.
eral store in Phelps, Ontario County,
which he had been keeping, and thence
forth devoted himself wholly to the
peppermint oil business. There are
two or three other dealers in Wayne
County, which controls the market in
this specially but Mr.. Hotchkiss han.
dies the bulk of the crop. The mint
acreage of the county is about 1900
acres, and the total product last yeal
was worth about $120,000. But it was
a bad season; in fairly good one the
crop is worth $3.50, 900, which figure
may perhaps be put down as the ex'
pense to the world of the colic.-Bu6atC

Protection of Water-Pipes.

A device has been brought forward
for protecting water-pipes against freez-
ing, the arrangement being based upon
the fact that water in motion will re-
main liquid at lower temperature
than water at rest. One end of a cop.
per rod, placed outside of the building,
is secured to q bracket, and the other
end is attached to the arm of weight
ed elbow lever; to the other arm of the
lever is secured rod which passes into
the building and operates valve in
the water-pipe. BY means of turn
buckles the length of the copper rod
can be adjusted so that before the tenn
perature reaches the point at which
there would be danger of the water in
the pipes freezing, the valve will be
opened to allow flow of water; be-
yond this point the valve opening will
increase and the flow become more
rapid as the cold becomes more intense,
and as the temperature rises the valve
is closed. This plan sets up current
in the pipes, which replaces the water
as it grows cold by the warmer water
from the main. Whether the valve be
opened or closed the service-pipes are
always in working order.-M Y. Sun.

ouATEMALAN WOMEN.
The Picturesque Costumes worn ~ the
Peasant Girls Of Spanish America

The Picturesque Costumes Worn Dy the
Peasant Girls OF spanish America
The prettiest and most picturesque of
the native costumes to be found in
Spanish America, Is worn by the
women of Guatemala, who are of
dark complexion; nearly that of niu;
latto type, but are famous for their
beauty of form. A Guatemala girl in
her native dress makes as pretty pict-
ure as one can find anywhere. Her face
is bright and pretty, her figure as per-
feet as nature unaided by art can be,
and her movements show supple grace,
and elasticity that can not be initiated
by those of her sex who are encountered
by modern articles of feminine apparel:
Her head is usually bare, indoors and
out, and her thick black tresses
hang in braids, often reaching
to her heels. Her garments are
only two, "guipil' and ''sa-
bana." The first is square piece OF
cotton of coarse texture, covered with
embroidery of brilliant colors and SIM
ple but artistic designs. In the center
of the "guipil' is an aperture like that
in the ordinary poncho, through which
her head goes, and it is usually wide
enough to constitute when worn low
neck waist. The ends are tucked in hei
skirt at the belt. Her bare arms come
through the open folds of her ''guipil,
and when she raises them her side is ex'
posed. Her skirt is straight piece Of
plaid cotton of brilliant colors, like the
Scotch plaids, and is wound tightly
around her limbs. 1t is secured at the
waist by sash, usually of scarlet, woven
by her own hands of the tibers of the pits
grass, and executed in the most skillfu
manner. These belts in their texture
resemble the Persian camel s-hair shawl
and often cost months of labor. Very
often the name of the owner and some
times notices are woven into the tex
ture, and they are brought away from
the country as curiosities by travellers
This costume is worn only by the peas
ants. Every article the Guatemala CIR
wears she makes with her own hands
and the natives of that country are thu
most ingenious and intelligent to b.
found in Spanish-America. The uppel
classes dress just as they would in New
York, and the fashions are followed
quite as losely.-Journal Of Fabrics.

HApplEsT DAYS.

said 10 the little children:
You are living your happiest days"
And their wide eyes opened wider
In innocent amaze;
For their happiness was so perfect,
. They did not know IL then,
Oh, nor they said, "there'll be happier
When We are women and men"
said to the youth aud maidon:
You are living your happiest days"
And into their sparkling eyes there crept
A dreamy, far-otf gaze,
And their hands sought one another's,
Aud their cheeks flushed rosy red;
"Oh, mol" they said. "there'll be happier
For us when we are we'd"
J said to the man and woman;
You are living your happiest days."
AS they laughiDgly watched together
Their baby's cunning ways,
"These days are days OF labor;
They can hardly be our best;
There II be happier days when the children
are grown,
And we have earned our rest"
said to the aged couple:
Z" You are living your happiest days;
Your children do you honor;
You have won success and praise"
With peaceful look. they answered:
God is good to us, that's true;
But VIC think there'll be happier days fol
us

A Gallant Attorney-GeneraI.

Tie question whether woman is -
person has just come up in Minnesota,
this time in connection with cemeteries.
BY the statutes "any number of per-
sons not less than seven" may form a
cemetery association. At a meeting
lately held in Kasson, Mimi, to form
such an association. a woman's name
was proposed as one of the Trustees.
A doubt was raised whether women
were legally persons and it was de-
cided to exclude women until the next
annual meeting, by which time legal
advice could be obtained. Mrs. H. M.
White, one of the excluded, wrote to
the Attorney-General at st. Paul, ask
ing his legal opinion as to whether she
was person. The Acknowledgement
promptly replied that she was and that
the opposition could have no ground to
stand upon, 'unless those who hold
that women are not persons should con-
tend that they were angels and hence
would never require burial. Roman

A New Sort of Jewel.

The fashiona BILE gem of the day in
Paris is the oudia. The oudja is simply
a charm, the virtue of which lies in the
fact that it is as old as the pyramids. The
oudja is made of delicate parallelo-
gram of gold or silver, in which is seen
an eye, elongated in form, from which
falls a tear and divides into smaller
drops. 1t serves as an ornament for
charms, brooches, pins and especially
bracelets.
A strange and inexpllcable symbol

Halls Journal Of Health, referring to Con-

statement:
Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning, then on
going to bed, getting more and more fire.
quent, with more and more phlegm, in
creasing debility, thinness of flesh, short
ness of breath, and quickness of pulse"
and it may be added that IN des-
perate Cases, and, in fact, in all cases
of Consumption, or troubles of the
throat and lungs, immediate relief may be
obtained and a permanent cure effected by
the use of DR.. VIM Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, medicine known for more than
thirty five years as an unfailing remedy for
coughs, colds bronchitis and all pulmonary
and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases
of Consumption have been cured by the use
of Halls Balsam has been attested to by
