In 1875 English Administers were frst
made. But it was not until 1749 that q
loom was constructed which would pro
duce a Brussels carpet; and Just here Is
an exceeding interesting anecdOte, which
has been handed down from father TO
son as an inyiClable truth: During 1870
and 1875, John Broom Travelled through
IOurnay aud Brussels, studying the
stitch which was then known as Brussels
stitch. In Brussels, particularly, weav-
ers we're at that time making a CARPET
named after the tOwn-the Brussels car
pet. Broom studied with much earnest
ness the mystery of the manufacture and
finally made the acquaintance In Tour
nay Of a weaver understanding the ST.
cret. He and this weaver immediately
repaired to England and near Mount
Shpet Kidderminster, tkey put up the
first Brussels loom, 1749. They opera
ted IN absolute secrecy, but In time their
modus operanh was exposed. Broom
and the Belgian workman IabOred night
and day, and, it being well known where
their operations were conducted, some
enterprising fellow climbed to the win
dow, aud Right after night, from his
perllOus perch outside he studied the
operations Of the mechanism within IN
til he was able to carry away In his
mind model Of the Brussels loom.

New York Sun.
An obscure path, scarcely detected in
the rank grass, leads to one Of the bury
ing grounds for colored people at Win
ingtOn, n. @. Never were gathered
stranger tokens Of affection or Of super
stition IN a resting place for the dead.
One grave that recently attracted the at
tentiOn of a visitor was that Of an old
man of 80. In the center of the mound
was partly buried the bust of a huge doll.
There was a little marble headstOna,
from which danglsd the rusted frame Of
a child's toy wire cradle. AT the base
Of the stone was a pair OF toy Hatirons,
while at the foot of the grave were a
pair OF andirCns and a cast-iron kettle,
and stuck In the ground huge carving
knife.
AT one side Of a child's grave. Set in
the middle Of the mound above this was
a large bowl. and few plates were scat
tered about, with here and there a cup
and saucer. There was also upon this
grave a sugar dish and some knives and
forks. Another grave was provided with
to large pitchers, a tureen, some smaller
pieces Of crOckery, and a kerosene lamp,
with chimney, and shade, and wick, and
oil, IN readiness for lighting. Another
mound had a soup tureen, q collection
of knives and forks, a small Ratchet,
pan for frying hOecake, a gridiron, two
teapots, and a lamp. Another had a
still larger assortment Of plates, cups
and saucers, and two huge platters. 1t was
trimmed with clam-shells, and In lamps
it was particularly rich, having a row Of
three. On the next grave a set of table
castors was the most prominent object
The grave Of a Baptist minister, which
was Ornamented with a fine headstOne,
was supplied with a mustache drinking
cup. On another grave were a couple
Of pals and some toy figures Of horses,
! COWS, and goats, while another was com
Pletely hidden from sight under a col
lection that deied description.
Scattered all about the burying
ground were lamps of all sizes, with
match-safes handy. Vases were plenty,
and there were a few plaster paris
busts. On one grave an alarm clock
was the most conspicuous object, and on
another a pair of large aatirons. On
almost every grave were bottles contain
| ing medicine.

Culver
We have no church clocks to compare
with the intricate wonders Of the splen-
did master piece in Strasburg cathedral.
This clock rises from the ground In sew
eral tiezs or stages almost to the roof OF
the aisle in which it is placed. A large
globe at the base Of 1t describes the mo
tons Of the sun moon and stars. A
group Of circles higher up describes
different portions Of time one moving
from north to south in the course of a
year, and another revolving once in a
hundred years. Figures seated in
chariOts inscribed with the name Of a
day take exactly one day to pass
in front Of the space In which
they are irclOsed for the rest of
the week. The hours are struck by a
skeleton with a bone on bell. The
first quarter past is struck by a boy, the
second by a youth, the third by a man,
the fourth by an old man. In the busy
and lively market place outside are
frogs for sale, skinned and stuck in rows
on skewers daintily and quantities Of
live fish, poultry, sucking pigs, rabbits,
and hares in trOughs, cages, baskets,
boxes, and pens innumeTa0le, and fruits
and flowers in every attractive arrange
ment, and groups of brOnzed country
men and cOuntrywOmen In quaint COS
tunes are laughing and talking, buying
and selling, but strangers turn from
them and return again and again to the
cathedral TO sit down before the clock
and wait patiently to see the skeleton
strike the hour with its bone, the chariot
OF the day move invisibly on, and the
many wheels or circles as imperceptibIy
/ IN motion, with unabated curiosity.
! Our own slOck-makeEs have always re-
garded it with admiration. Only a few
weeks ago an old clock-maker, upward
of so years of age, died at Newcastle
IupOn-Tyne who had occupied the leisure
Of his long life in trying to finish a clock
begun by his father that was to rival It.
This was also furnished with an orrery,
and with the figures to strike the hours
and quarters. 1t had also two sets of
musical barrels and several other me
chanical devices, one of which was a
ship In full sail. He worked out the
necessary mathematical calculations
when he was a young man, but left the
work ompleted in the end.

Cen. sberIdan,s TIt,Ie Ln1.s


Gen. Sheridan is something of a Wag.
He does not often let his sense of humOr
appear in his official action, but the 9th
er day he apparently was unable to re-
sist the temptation to indulge in a dry
military Joke at the expense of the phi
lanthrOpists Of the east. The question
having arisen as to what the war depart
ment should do with the Apache cut
thrOats who were made prisoners of war.
by Gen. Miles, the lieutenant general
commanding the army said he thought
this would be a good chance to let the
friends Of the poor Lo, who are so much
opposed to placing him under the con
troll OF the army, become more intimately
acquainted with him. 1 fancy, writes
Dom Piatt In the Washington Capital
he must have had senator Dawes and
some OF my Boston friends particularly
in mind, for he grayely recommended to
Secretary EndicOtt that Geronimo and
his associates should be provided with
a bOarding-place in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton, and he suggested that Fort Warren
would be a good place for them The
| genial secretary did not see the Joke at
/ first, and so he proceeded to inquire Of
/ the officers having especial charge
/ of the Notifications in Boston harbOr in
/ regard to the accommodations for the In
dians frOmAEizOna which cOuII be found
/ there. He soon learned that it would be
impracHcable TO keep them in the case
ments of any of the forts, and that the
only place to put them would be in some
/ wooden buildings outside of Fort War
rem. 1t was then suggested to him by
/ one Of his military advisers that if this
were done some enterprising manager OF
a dime museum might come along in a
rOWbOat, get hold of Geronimo and his
companions, and exhibit them to tho
/ eager public at 10 cents a head. When
the subject was fully investigated it was
/ found that the Boston forts would not
do at all, while there were other posts
that would furnish ample security. Fort
Pickens, in Florida, seemed to be an
ideal place for them, as there is no pos
sibiity Of their escape from that locality.
Gradually it began to dawn on the high
official mind that Gen. Sheridan was hav-
ing a little fun at the expense Of the In
/ dan-lOvers, and so the tribe of scalpers
from the southwest viii not become res
idents Of Massachusetts at present. But
for a day or two it looked very much as
if they would be thus disposed of by the
war department.

Ducks in Underground Ponds.

Panther creek is a stream In north
eastern Colorado. One Of the sources Of
the creek is a shallow, sedgy pond, from
which the water pOurs over a miniature
precipice some ten feet In height and
five or six In width. The pond is the re-
sort in their season Of a great many wild
ducks, who feed on the sedgy plants
growing on its margins and shallow bot
tom. Last year a neighbOring ranchman
noticed that on disturbing these water
fowl, In place Of flying of to q distance,
they circled about for a few minutes and
then dashed through the veil of water
formed by the falls coming from the
pond.
Though a good deal astonished, the
ranchman had then no time for investi-
cation of the singular circumstance, and
not until a short time ago did he follow
the tracks Of the ducks through the fall
ing waters. Beyond a slight ducking
he experienced no Inconvenience IN pass
ing behind the falls. Once there and the
way was clear. Opening before him Was
a passage three feet in width, and of suf-
ficient height to allow a man to pass up
right. The walls of the subterranean way
were dripping with water, and undOubted-
ly passed beneath the pond He had not
gone many yards before the sound of
great quacdng fell upon his ears. Has
tening his pace, he soon came upon a
large cavern, in the center Of which was
a lake. The surface of this lake was
thick with ducks. The water fowl was
mostly maiIlard and teal, though several
other varieties were represented.
On the approach Of the intruder the
ducks arose IN an immense cloud and
disappeared through an opening beyond
! the lake. Our adventurer followed them,
and found another and similar lake, Gov
cred with wild ducks. Again the fowl
arose, and with frightened and clamOrOus
quacks thrOnged through another pas
! sageway Here the pursuer found the
largest lake Of all, and the end of the
/ subterranean water chain. The ducks
now took the back track, and he could
hear the rush of their wings and the
sound Of their harsh notes growing faint
er as they sought the safety Of the outer
air

Luxuries of the Bath.

Mail and Express.
A man worn with excessive muscular
labor should take a warm bath, the
calming effects Of which resemble sleep.
Thumbless mittens Of ordinary Turk
ish toWeing are as good as the most
costly sPOnges for the luxury of the
daily Grub bath"
A large Turkish towel, wrung out OF
either telid or cold water, will eZpedate
the bathing process, and by all means
provide a gOOdly sized towel for the dry
rub afterwards.
Turkish towels that come the size of
crib sheets are most useful for this, and
the luxury of keeping two linen bath
sheets in daily use Is known to the init
ated few.
After either a cold or warm plunge
bath the immediate covering Of the
whole body in a large wrap of linen or
the soft tutted cotton gives a sensation
Of luxury that some people never know.
A double handful Of common salt
thrown into the bathing water after the
cleaning process has been performed Is a
beneficial addition. The saline particles
are very penetrating, and no amount of
rubbing Will remove them from the skin,
upon which they exert a most useful,
though a very gentle stimulating iuhu-
ence, especially salutary in cases Of
sluggish Hvers.
