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 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 speciality, but MT. Hotehkiss ham, dles the bulk of the crop. The mint acreage of the county is about 4,000 acres, and the total product last year was worth about S120,OOO. But it was bad season; in a fairly good one the crop is worth S250,O00 which figure may perhaps be put down as the ex- pense to the world of the colic.-Bufalo (N. Y.) Courier.

hundred hours. Sometimes, like other articles of human manufacture, they fall short of expectations. The com petitive trial recently made at the Franklin Institute of the lamps of yari-
 ous companies furnished several woe ful examples of this truth. A we'll made lamp will last that length of time, however. If by bad workmanship air is allowed to leak in, the carbon burns out quickly. If it is run at too high tension-that is, if too much current is sent through it, the friction wears out the little horseshoe in a short time and it breaks. It is the necessity for prac- tically absolute vacuum that requires the employment of the platinum con- meeting wires. Platinum is the only metal which expands and contracts with heat at the same rate as glass. This keeps the joint, where the wires pass through the glass, always tight so that no air can enter. There is a fortune in store for the inventor who can get up some kind of cement that will prevent the passage of air, and at the same time admit the use of cheap copper instead of costly platinum wires. The problem may be capable of solution, for this whole matter of elec- tic lighting is still in its infancy, though not most vigorous stage of in- fancy.-N F. Tribune.

STRIKING A BURGLAR.

 How Bold Intruder Came to Fall With
 Dull, Sickening Thud.
 Some men are forever speaking of their desire to have burglar visit their apartments when the curtains of night are closely drawn. They delight in boasting of the manner in which they would enlarge the pores of felonious rambler hide if he came in on the quiet, and how they would with almost super- human efforts throttle the scamp until his jugular vein stood out on his neck like row of potatoes in May and his flushed tongue posed over under his left ear. Now this is well enough in theory, and sounds eloquent in daylight, But when fellow is aroused from sweet slumber by the footfall of a red-eyed ''duffer" 5 soaking ''lucre,n there are questions < which well up in his mind like this: ''Am his or is he mineP Am 1 in his room or is this mine? Is the air not rather close in here for my lungsP"
 was once given a room on the fourth floor of strange hotel, and knew little of the surroundings. sThere was haunted air about the room that caused me to feel little uncomfortable. I took my lamp and carefully searched for burglar, though was not over anxious to find one, really had no use for one. Had found real muscular burglar don't think I could have util- ized him. However,I made a careful search, then blew out the light aud turned in. still felt that I was inhaling the same atmosphere used by mali- ciouS artist. Sleep soon mastered my fears. I slept soundly until about two o'clock in the morning, when l was aroused by the slamming of window blind. I suddenly jumped up and saw to my horror man in his shirt sleeves crouching near my bedside I had no weapon of any kind I thought, or at least tried to thank, for an in- stant, then addressed him politely thus: ''Good morning, sir, can do anything :. for you?' He did not move or reply. , His silence only increased my fears. 1 saw now that my only chance would be to jolt him with my fist square from the shoulder with all the power in my trem- bling frame. With one mighty bound sprang from my couch and struck the slLChG HUI uutI WILL du llle 1OICG COuItl summon; my knuckles fairly tingled with pain, my hand dropped almost powerless to my side. I knew I had - knocked him insensible, I heard him fall with very dull thud over by the wash- stand. With all my fear a heroic feeling crept over me. I only had one hand left for sizing up my deed. carefully crept across to the match safe, took a match with my left hand, lighted a lamp and proceeded to inventory the fruits of my blow. My heart sank within me as I approached the remains and imagined the appearance of hls ghostly face and death-glazed eyes. I felt that what was about to behold would forever haunt my dreams. My hand trembled so could scarcely hold the lamp I reverently bent over the still form and placed my hand upon his shirt front. Well, ali my feelings of ,l-1rror were re- moved after that touch, and my only thought was to go out and allow some moist fluid to penetrate the pores of the seat of my intellect. My hard-earned prize proved to be only chair with my boiled shirt hung over the back, sur- mounted by derby hat.-Peck's Sun.

A New Sort of Jewel.

The fashiona ble gem of the day in Paris is the oudjG. The oudjG is simply a charm, the virtue of which lies in the fact that it is as old as the pyramids. The oudjG is made of delicate parallelo- gram of gold or silver, in which is seen an eye, elongated in form, from which falls tear and divides into smaller drops. It serves as an ornament for charms, brooches, pins and especially bracelets. a@i
 A strange and inexpllcable symbol, the oudjG was nevertheless at once adopted by people of taste and ele- gance. In London it is creating furor. -JeoCeler'S Weekly.

oUArEMALAN WOMEN.
The Picturesque Costumes Worn by the Peasant Girls of Spanish America.

The Picturesque Costumes Worn by 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 a dark complexion; nearly that of mu-
 latto type, but are famous for their beauty of form. A Guatemala girl in her native dress makes as pretty a 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 supplegrace and elasticity that can not be initiated by those of her sex who are encumbered 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 a square piece of cotton of coarse texture, covered with embroidery of brilliant colors and sim pie 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 a low neck waist. The ends are tucked in her 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 a straight piece of plaid cotton of brilliant colors, like the Scotch plaids, and is wound tightly around her limbs, It is secured at the waist by sash, usually of scarlet, woven by her own hands of the fibers of the pita grass, and executed in the most skillful 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 somc- 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 girl wears she makes with her own hands, and the natives of that country are the most ingenious and intelligent to be found in Spanish-America. The upper classes dress just as they would in New York, and the fashions are followed quite as clOsely.-JouWGI of Fabrics.

 nificance of the Late Wm. H. yanderbiIt's
 Wealth.
 The New York Times follows the dead Vanderbilt to his costly tomb with a curious calculation of what might be done with S2OO, 100000 of silver dollars; for instance, put lengthwise, they would stretch 4, 672 miles; piled on each other, they would reach height of 355 miles; laid flat upon the ground they would cover sixty acres; their weight in mass would be 7,160 tons, requiring 35S cars for transportation; in dollar bills, laid lengthwise, they would reach nearly around the earth; made into a book, it would be twelve miles thick; spread upon the ground, they would cover TAG acres. All of which, from the Times point of view, seems marvellous But when considered from other points of vision S200, 100000 is but an in- significant point of dust; and when compared with other and more useful things. cuts but a con- temptible figure in this worlds affairs, and no figure at all in that other life where such treasures never reach. All the gold of the world is estimated at S6,- 400, ,000, 600, and, if pure and cast into solid mass, its dimensions would form cube the'sides of which would not ex- ceed twenty-six feet and three-quarters of an inch. It could be placed in the editorial rooms of the Arqonattt, and ours is but a weekly journal. If ths Vanderbilt millions had been cast into a solid cube of gold, we could have put it into our coal-bin. The heart beats sev- enty times per minute, or ?, ,577, 204, 900 in the seventy years allotted for the hu- man life, and all Vanderbilt's money could not have purchased a single beart- beat. The human lungs are in that time inflated 699, 9,526, 800 times, and if Vanderbilt had lost his breath, all his wealth could not have purchased a single respiration. Antony had squan- dered S700, 900, 900, and at the time of the assassination of Caesar was in debt S15, ,000,0 900. The present population of the earth is 1, ,424, ,000, 900. Vanderbilt's wealth divided among them would have furnished seven cents apiece. The area of the earth's surface is 197, ,000,000 of square miles,, Vanderbiltfs wealth would have placed but one dollar On each mile. A single valuable gem-sapphire-weigh. ing a little over six ounces, is valued at S16,000,O00. Tine total bonded debt of the civilized world is S75,O0O,- 100000 Add the debts of India, China and Japan, and it is increased another thousand millions. The National debt of the United States IS about $1,S0O,- 00,000, and it can all be printed upon one bond, with coupons attached, at a cost not exceeding ten cents, and of all intrinsic value not worth a nickel. Two hundred millions is large amount in dollars, and gives great power to the living man who controls it, but when he dies does not furnish an obolus un- der his dumb, dead tongue to pay Charon to ferry him across the Syx to the shadows of that other world where wealth is dross.-SGm FrGnciScO Argo- nGut.

 HaU'S Journal ot Health referring to Con sumption, makes the following important statement:
 Consumption usually begins with a slight, dry cough in the morning, then. on going to bed, getting more and more ire 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 permanent cure effected by the use of Dr. Wm. 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 the thousands who have used it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful remedial efficacy.
