A Description of Nine. Rachel.

Nine. Rachel created decided sensa-
ton at Washington, where her audience
did not need printed TRANSACTIONS, and
could applaud or weep in the right places.
She had aged much since | used to visit
her at her country seat at Marty, near
Paris, but her histrionic talents were in
no way diminished. Pale, with jet black
hair. small regular nose, a mouth
mobile enough, but rather sweet in its
expression and tender in its lines for the
heroine of tragedy, and large forehead,
quite protruding itself over the straight
black brows that Swallowed her wondrous
eyes, she was the very embodiment of
feminine intellect. Her figure was slight,
and her menta. entirely dominated her
vital system; but her limbs, with al
their delicacy, had firm look, and she
was rather 1.-the than fragile. The fall of
her drapery would have made any
sculptor despair did he not see that itself
was but the reproduction on tissue of
lines into which the Grecian sculptors
wrought their marble.-Ben; Perley

Prevailing Fault Of Fancy SOAPS.

The prevailing fault of large proper
ton of toilet and fancy soaps is that they
contain such quantities Of free alkali"
as to render them decidedly injurious to
the tender and sensitive skins when hab-
itually used. Although the general pub
lie has not yet been thoroughly "edu-
Gated up" to the point Of ap-
preciating the magnitude of this
evil, yet most persons whose skins
are extremely sensitive find by ex-
perience, in winter, or during the preva-
lence Of easterly winds, that frequent
washing with soap and water is impossi-
BILE without producing much personal
discomfort, unless they Use selected
kinds of soap to which experience has
guided them. Many such persons dis
card soap altogether in favor Of materials
like oatmeal and powders which do not
contain alkaline matters. - Demorest's

A Wax Model for Anatomists.

A highly interesting piece of work il
at present being executed at the Berlin
Royal academy, under the direction of
medical and artistic experts, the wax
model of a carefully prepared human
body Of life size. From it cast in zinc
is to be made, showing with rigid exact
ness the muscles, arteries and veins. An
idea of the nicely of the work may be
formed from the fact that thus far
fifteen months have been spent upon the
head alone, which is not expected to be
finished under three years more. The
importance of the work for anatomical
studies, when completed, will amply
compensate for the trouble, time and
money spent upon it, which, when fin.
ished, will be exhibited and bought by
the government.-Boston Budget.

The Railway Bridges Of the World.

The largest railway bridge in the world
is not that opposite Montreal, but the
Ponte Maggiore at Venice, crossing the
lagoons in 3i4 spans of total length of
1850 meters. Great Britain, however,
can claim the two next largest, the Tay
bridge and the st. Lawrence viaduct,
and our country the fourth, the Ohio
valley bridge at Parkersburg. st. Louis

improvements Made In American Cooking.

American cooking improves every
year, and in the principal cities is often
of the best. New York equals Paris in
the culinary art; as fine breakfasts, din.

there, though the places serving them are
much fewer and dearer. The same is
true of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore.
and New Orleans. Even in the far west
a steady amelioration Of the table is OBJ
servable. The days of bacon, hominy,
cornbread and coffee. without SAVIOR or
or variation, are passing, and will soon
be passed.
The English talk much Of our poor
cookery-they unconsciously refer to a
period forty years ago-although it is
much superior to their own. Exclude
mutton chops, sole, whitehall, and few
other national dishes, and their kitchen,

SMOKING HIS FIRST CIGAR.

Out on the shady Side Of the Barn
Caught by q Brother.
The first smoke don't last as long as a
case of sea-sickness, but while il does
last it is original and unique. The new
smoker is no Judge of cigars. He in.
variably takes a strong one. He goes a
good deal by the box in which he finds
the cigars. II cigar has fancy paper

II he lives he will know better. Out or
the shady side of the barn he takes him.
self and his cigar. He is afraid that
some one will modest him. He lights the
cigar, and holding it IN the most awk'
ward manner between his fingers puffs
and expectorates. 1t seems manly to
smoke, and he picture himself narrating
to his chums how well he handled him.
self and his first cigar.
The senSation is not at all pleasant.
He allows longer time to elapse between
the puffs, and wishes that the cigar
would burn up more rapidly. The mouth
has a peculiar taste, which frequent ex.
pectorations will not remove. The old
familiar fence is turning green. He sees
everything circle around him. He is bet
ter after while. Flat on his back on
the green sward, he looks up at the blue
heavens overhead and watches the fieecy
white clouds float in many directions.
Dinner has no attractions for him.
Candy would not tempt him to get up
He hears his name called by an elder
brother. 1t sounds way off, as if in q
dream. Nearer and nearer it comes, and
finally the owner of the voice comes
around the corner of the barn.
He guessed the cause for he sees the
half-smoked cigar. If he is real good
boy with box full of Sunday-school
tickets he will tell his mother, and the
young smoker will be taken in the house
and lectured for the rest of his boyhood
days. If he is a real bad boy, one whose
badness insures his living to manhood's
estate, he will get his sick brother up on
the hay in the old barn, and will tell q
fib at the table to excuse his absence.
His kindness will cost the inexperienced
smoker later on many marbles, much
candy, and the best of everything. He
will threaten TO inform their parents
many times of the first smoke, and viii
scare the smoker into many scrapes and
much trouble.-St. Paul Globe.

Migratory Instincts of Trout.

The following facts exemplify the
strong migratory instincts of trout; At
the fish-culture establishment at Della
ford, where the utmost care is taken to
isolate the various species of salmoni-
da, few of the fish occasionally are
found in ponds long distances from
those in which they were originally
located. Considering that each p nd is
so constructed as to prevent such a
contingency, the occurrence is very re-
markable, and can only be accounted
for in two ways, viz, that the fish
either burrow through holes that prob
ably are made by rats and moles, or
they Jump out of the water and so pro-
coed to the next pond. 1t is not likely
that they are borne thence by birds, as
the appearance of the fish on the occa-
sions referred to does not justify such an
assumption. Mature.

The Condition In Which Dressed Fowls
Should be Sent to Market.
Poultry should never be scalded.
1t leaves the skin of dead, collapsed
appearance. Picked dry, the skin re-
tains its fresh appearance for long
time if properly picked. A large and
successful firm of poultry buyers and
shippers in Iowa prepare fowls for
market as follows:
THE fowl is suspended by the feet
at a convenient height for the operator
1t is then pierced in the mouth pene-
trating the brain. A small blade of a
pocket knife will do. The feathers will
now come easily, and before it is dead
it should be picked clean, with the ex-
ception of pin-feathers. These are re-
moved afterwards. As soon as the fowl
is dead the feathers are set and can not
be removed without the aid of hot
water.
After pin-feathering the crop only
is drawn. They are then placed in the
cooling-room on shelves, backs down,
heads hanging off the shelf, feet folded
on the breast. If weather admits they
are then frozen, carefully packed in
boxes, shipped in refrigerator cars to
eastern markets, there held in cold
storage, and sold during the warm
months of summer, when the price of
poultry is high. Farm, Field and

IN CONN MARA.
An Irish Home Near the Coast and ItS
Pair of Girl Inhabitants.


The rain was still falling when Bally-
nahinch was left behind; but on the
moor to the left two witchlike figures
were seen, their heads half wrapped in
plaid shawls, their limbs showing
through wet, short skirts, and their
small red feet and legs flying from tuft
to tuft of the moss. They were native
girls, driving the small coal-black cat
tie of these wild up-lands, and the sight
of the driver, an ancient friend, put
them in the widest spirits. They
swooped down on the car and were soon
seated, laughing and singing, brushing
the wet from their tangled hair and their
hair from their red cheeks, but not for
getting to smooth the skirts of the
rough homespun modestly about their
bare extremities. They we're redolent
ofpeat smoke, like the poteen they brew
here in spite of all the constables; of
good health, good humor, and that indie
scribable fragrance which comes from
living almost completely out of doors.
Presently we drew up before their
own home. They seized various par

these same headlong lasses turn out as

the United States puzzling an American
mistress by their ignorance on some
points and unnatural acuteness on
others. If she could see the interior of
some of these cabins she would only
wonder how they ever learn to use the
resources of modern improvements. "
Much is being done in Ireland to give
all children p good schooling in the

no provision for the training of servants,

two things, uninterrupted exposure or
perfect seclusiOn from all atmospheric
influences will preserve wood much long

elements of decomposition are inyaria-

The Crops.

CINCINNATI, July 29..-Iu report upon
the crop situation to-day, the Price Current
says: A feature Of marked interest nj this
time is The condition Of the corn crop. Our
special reports this week cover all SECTIONS
of the corn belt of The west, and give clear
indication rs to the existing situation gene
rally, including other leading crops. 1t is
proper to say that the condition of The grow
ing corn averages we'll east of Illinois. 1t is
considerably modified in that State by the
elects of dry weather, and has been and is
suffering more or less seriously west OF the
Mississippi with moderate degree of relief
from recent rains in Kansas and Nebraska.
But an average production west of the Mis-
sissippi could hardly be reached under ia
vorable conditions the remainder of the sea-
son. The aggregate area reported in corn
this year, approximates 70O,000,O00 acres,
and unless something more serious occurs
than il now apparent, a fairly good produc-
ton may be realized, with reasonably ia.
vorable conditions the remainder of the
season.
