A POPCORN FIELD.
Waving in the Gentle Wind Much Like
tho Waves of tho Sea.


tho Waves of tho Sea.
Some Of our city people ought, per.
haps, to occasionally take trip into
the country to study the mysteries of
nature as displayed in field crops. A
leading Hibernian business man of this
city the other day, in speaking of coun-
try sights with a railroad man, said:
"One of the most beautiful sights I
ever saw was near Lockport, in the
State of New York. There was a
whole field OF popcorn, all ripe and
wavin' in the wind like the waves of
the sea. 1t was iist beautiful to see it
bowm' under the breeze, and to see
the waves of it, one chasin' the other"
The railroad man opened his eyes at
this, and finally said:
81 never noticed popcorn in any
such shape. I've seen fields of wheat
where they seemed to bow and rise
and fall like the waves of the sea. 1t
couldn't have been popcorn that you
saw?'
30, yes, sir; it was pop-corn-all
wavin' white and beautiful like ye'd
see the white caps on lake!"
"Pop-corn all white and beautiful!
cried the railroad man, quite puzzled.
The Hibernian admirer of nature was
pressed for further particulars in re-
gard to the appearance Of the crop.
He said the stalks were about as high
as his cane and grew as thick as the
hair on dogs back.
Finally the railroad man seemed
from something the other said--to OBJ.
tain more light why" cried he,
"What you saw must have been field
of buckwheat.
The Hibernian appeared struck BY
the remark. After hesitating mo-
ment, he said: "By me soul, yer
right! remember now, that afther !
had been admirin' the field for time,
l did hear some fellow say something
about buckwheat' The man had
actually taken the blossoms of the
buckwheat for popcorn all popped
out in good shape, and about that time

A BOYS COURAGE.

How . Plucky Lad Saved Northern India
to the British Crown.
Do the lads of this generation de-
claim that poetical tribute to youthful
heroism which extols the boy who
'stood on the burning deck, whence all
but him had fied'P When we were
boys there was scarcely "declamation
day" on which we did not hear it re-
cited. 1t may be that the years since
then have been so freighted with ex-
amples Of boyish heroism that no boy
now cares for ''Casabianca."
One of these later, and, to our think
ing, more attractive examples of youth
full heroism occurred at the outbreak
of the Sepoy mutiny in 1857. Just be-
fore the awful storm broke, the system
of electric telegraphs had been extend
ed over the surface of British India.
The mutineers rushed to Delhi to seize
upon the old hereditary seat of the
Mohammedan empire, and began cut
ting the throats of Europeans While
the rattle of cannon and musketry was
rolling around the telegraph Office,
little English boy, moved by sense of
duty, stuck to his post until he had
telegraphed to the Commissioner at
Lahore. The message announced that
the mutineers had arrived at Delhi.
and had murdered this civilian and
that officer, and wound up with these
significant but childlike words: "We're
off, ~.
The boys courage and sense of duty
saved the Punjab. As soon as the tele-
gram reached Lahore, the General in
command of the Sepoys disarmed them.
When they learned of tho rising at
Delhi, they were powerless to do any
injury. The General flashed the awful
news to Pcshawur. The Hindoostanee
regiments there were also disarmed,
and, though mutineers at heart, we're
incapable Of harm. Then the
telegraph was cut by the rebels
the boy at Delhi had saved Northern
India to the British crown. The officer

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
THE FATE OF A DOLL.

I had long golden tresses, and trim little
dresses,
And eyes that were brilliant and blue;
had neat little feet and figure complets;
But my charms now, alas, are but few.
I've been knocked, I've been battered, my
nose has been shattered;
Ny smile has been turned to leer;
I've often been sat on, Eve tempted the cat on
To carry me of by the earl
The moments treasure, when beaming with
pleasure,
Ny mistress turns kindly to me.
And, so great her bliss is I'm covered with
kisses,
She hugs me and chatters with glee
But when she's enraged, she's ofttimes en-
In boxing my ears in her freak;
My face, once SO bloomy, Is now pale and
gloomy;
She's knocked all the pink of my check.
Apart from this chidin0. she's always con-
fiding
Her joys and her sorrows to me;
She brings brother Bennie and sweet cousin
Jennie
Her dear little Dolie 80 see;
The boys she will play with and oft run away
with:
Between them I'm wrecked more and more;
I'm tumbled and tossed, and I'm left and I'm
lost
And my stuffing runs over the tloorl
OF late I'm neglected, ill-used and detected;
Ny mistress has some other craze;
Tn left to the mercy Of wee brother Percy,
Who's rapidlv ending dAya
Such dashings and thrashings and crashings
and smashings
Iget every day for no wrongl
My clothes are all ragged, my limbs loose and
jagged;
They'll tear me apart before long.

Then it was found that cream alone
made better dish, and also that an
egg or two added to its richness and
body, and that If the air was beaten in
to it the cream increased nearly twice
in quantity. The trade fell entirely
into the hands of the bakers and con-
fectioners, and the first work at which
the bakers apprentice was put in those
days was beating up ice-cream with
wooden paddle. The ice-cream season
had no pleasures for him, for he spent
his days, and frequently his nights,
agitating the frozen sweetness with
his wooden paddle, while his COM
panions, with their girls, helped to eat
the fruit of his labors
As the demand for the delectable dish
increased the old paddle method was
found to be too slow, and machinery was
devised by which the work could be
done by steam. water and horse power,
and now the beaters revolve within the
closed can while revolving blades cut
the frozen cream from the sides of the
vessel.
The growth and development Of the
trade has brought 50 much machinery
into use that upon it depends vast
number of people for livelihood.
Thousands are engaged in The making
of the different appliances for It's manu-
facture; thousands more are employed
exclusively in the making of it. and
thousands are indirectly supplied with
work through it. Even doctors and
lawyers owe many a fee to 1.-THE
doctors earning theirs in prescribing
for collie brought on by overindulgence
in it, and the lawyers getting, if not
earning, theirs by means of suits for
breach of promise made over the love-
inspiring and seductive dish. -PAita-

A LAND OF LIARS,
How the Perslans of To-day Evade All
Truthful Statements.

/ How the Persians of To-day Evade An
Truthful Statements.
/ After speaking Of their parental and
tlIiaI affection, their respect for the aged
and their politeness and hospitality, a
writer on Persia winds up apropoS of
the people of the country with the fol-
lowing phrase: ''But as a race they are
very untruthtul and procrastinating.
About these two traits of the Persian
character d like to say word. You We
often heard OF the champion liar, and
many people in the United States even
At tins present day pretend TO believe
that the book agent, the lightnng-rod
man and Eli Perkins are the three great
liars Of the world. But these people
don't know the PerSian, With our
liars at home mendacity is an acquired
science and has taken Years and years
and much hard study to develop, and
even then they often-at least OCCASION
aIiy-speak the truth. With them ar
tiStic lying is an effort. It takes thnnght
Aud pains 10 produce IL to perfection.
Not 50 with the Persian. The modern
Farsee is a natural liar. 1t goes against
his grain, against all he holds most sa-
cred in this queer world. to speak the
truth. 1t is born with hiI., T. ; iHY1.-
crate love of preyaricati ion, and it is
bred in the bone for generations and
generations
! have noticed with the interest the
student Of human nature is liable to feel
in such eases, how astOni>hed the Farsee
is when he has caught h mself unawares
telling the truth. He then is out of his
role, and feels so aba>had and ashamed
Of himself that he looks sheepish and
guilty; much as American might after
getting off an awful tib. Even with
such a people, however, when the noble
art of romancing is carried to such per-
fection, moments will arise when it is
desirable to know and hear the truth.
And for such occasions the stock of Per-
sian adjurat;on, oaths, curses and ap-
peals seems almost ineXhaustibe. One

the very best can be had for two cents a

HISTORY OF ICE-CREAM.
4 Delectable Dish for Which We Are In.
debted to an Indian Squaw,

uebted 10 an indian Squaw.
There is considerable difference be-
tween the ice-cream of the present day
and that which would have been eaten
by the pilgrim fathers, had they had
any, as the art OF making the cooling
and refreshing dish has made a sur
prsng advancement since the early
days OF its manufacture. Ice-cream,
so the history of it goes, is not an in
yention, but discovery, like many of
the best things which have fallen to
the use of man; and, strange to say, it
was discovered almost simultaneously
with the discovery of this great CONT
nent, and stranger still it was made by
an Indian woman of one of the tribes
in Northern Pennsylvania. The abb
origines in that part Of the State used
the milk of the COW elk, and they kept
their milk in jugs hewn out of stone.
The milk frequently froze and was
generally thrown away as useless; but
one of the squaws took to eating it and
found it good, and she took to freez-
ing it regularly, until her red-skinned
lord made vigorous kick on the ex-
travagance of her using up all the milk,
but every time the buck went on
hunting trip she had her frozen milk,
which was the real predecessor of ice
cream. and many Of the s1uaws Of her
tribe followed her example, until it be-
come quite custom. When sugar
was brought among them the Indians
took to sweetening the frozen milk.
The white settlers took to the new
dish, and the ayidity with which it was
consumed led to the regular establish
ment Of 1t among the trade.
The primitive method OF making ioe-
cream by the confectioner Of the re-
volutionary days was vastly different
from the way it is made now. First the
sweetened milk was simply CONCEALED
and then broken uD with . lsAis.

BRAZILIAN GIRLS,
The Colorless Life Led by Dom Pedro's
Farest Subjects.

Fairest Subjects.
A girl is never permitted TO go out,
not even to church, unless chaperoned
by one of the family, or some other lady,
generally of mature age. Nothing could
be more colorle>s than the life of young
Brazilian woman; she has no taste what
ever for reading, her education is of the
most meager description, it not being
considered worth while to educate girls.
The necessity for educating boys is un
dcrstood 10y parents, and those who are
able do so, but girl, what need has she
for an education? They would laugh at
such hjgh-tlown ideas, should any one
suggest that their daughters be given
the benefits of an education rs a re-
source at hand for their own enjoyment,
or that they might be intelligent COM
panions, capable OF stimulating the in
tellccts of their children, and husbands
too, for that matter.
A very large majority of the Brazilian
girls could not tell who is the Emperor
of Germany. or that President Garfield
and the Gar of Russia were assas-
s;natcd: the Soudan or General Gordon
are riddles to their minds. They are
even ignorant of some of the most i'm
portant historical facts relading to their
own land, and of a thousand and one
other topics that the women OF America
and other countries are generally con-
vcrsant with. They embroider. cro-
chct and study music, but usually lack
the patience and application necessary
TO excel in the latter. If they want q
/ drink Of water, or their shoes changed,
/ they call Il slave to do it. Many can
sew and do their own drrssmak NC. be-
ing very convenient with the needle,
their natural antipathy to work being
overcome by their love of dress. Their
conversation is utterly frivolous, and
when with familiars they talk very loud.
and in the most animated manner, gcs

their hands and arms, all talking at
once. with seldom any thing worth say

city of Bahia, with doll in her lap,
which she cared for and handled the
same as girl would do, and it is no
