The town of Burlington, N. j., is all
agog on the question Of Mother Hub
bard' costumes. Ali the fuss was start
ed by something that happened in Burl-
ington last Friday evening. Miss Ella
Hammell, a welI-known belle, ap
peared at Broad and High street, when
she heard a shout and saw dozen men
behind her. She hastened on but mob
filed High street uttering cries and in
sulting epithets. Some missiles we're

terror, Miss Hammen hurried into a
drug store. Captain Hays, the chief of

Pronunciation in School.

Council Bluffs Nonpariel.
School children are causing revolutions
in their homes of late, all because theil
teachers are getting up so many new
tangled ideas, and the parents not being
''up to snuff" have quite exciting discus.
sions with their children.
A little 7-year-old boy returned from
school the other day and said to his
father:
"Where's my dahgw
"Your what?' asked the anxious
parent. "Why Sport, my dahg." "You
must say dog" said the father.

ster, 'smy school-mawm says it's not dog;

wide open 80 you could see his bronchial

and over dozen times, insisting that
the teacher says it's 'dahg," at least
that's the way to spell the word as he
said is was pronounced.

Eyes, mawn," replied the boy.
"You must say mann, not 'mawm," re-
marked the fond mother.
"WeI, I don't care; my teacher says

A number of the ladies in the neigh
borhood met by chance the next day and
the subject came up. Each was surpris-
ed to find that the other had been
through the same experience, and they
wondered what would be the next scneme.
This will explain an accident" that

Life Among the Nex Perc.s
San Francisco Examiner.

San Francisco Examiner.
The Indians of this coast have nearly
all discarded their peculiar costumes,
and wear old and new civilized dress in
decidedly Indian fashion. Among the
Nez Perces is seldom seen an entire In
dian costume. Sometimes, however, one
is forcibly reminded of the parody:
Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind,
Wears all his cloths in front and none behind
These Indians live in tents made OF
poles and covered with cloth or buffalo
robes. The tents are left open at the
top, and as the fire is built in the CEN
ter, the smoke naturally goes out at the
top. At night each individual wraps
his blanket around him aud lies down on
the bare ground, without any other COW
ering. The bucks are fond of gambling
and understand the value of bob tailed
flush. They know how to play a lone
hand, too, and it there is ever a scrap
ping match over the pot, there is a good
Indian for breakfast already carved.
A bird's-eye view of their encamp-
ment reveals some curious phases. In
the largest tent every night witnesses a
high jinks which is made hideous by
the dscordant notes of several tom-toms,
a peculiar flute with q hoarse whistle,
accompanied by the women, who crone
through their closed teeth. The dances
and athletic exercises are the same as
the pow-wow and the sun dance of the
Sioux. Not the least interesting and
picturesque are the children and dogs,
which abound in great numbers. The
little infant is firmly tied to a board with
strap, which the mother puts across
her forehead when she is walking about
A little buckskin string tackled on one
corner with knot for each month tells
how old the little fellow is, and the pre-
sence Of beads and strip of oilcloth for
sanitary purposes reveals the sex. 1t is
amusing to watch the older children
play house with rag dolls and dogs SUBJ
stituted for horses. In their childish
way they mimic the life of their elders,
and they are as quaint and ugly as they
are mirthless. Tho dogs contribute
their share to the general fun and
patiently submit to being ridden and
made to carry all sorts of bundles. The
children have no conjunction about
raiding one another's play houses, and
many laughable things occur during the
melee which follows. The children re-
cieve but little attention from their par
ents and are covered with vermin. They
are all bow-legged because they are not
taken from the board until they can
walk, and great portion of that time
their hands and feet are pinioned. They
are remarkably quiet, seldom if ever cry
ing. Less than half Of them reach ma
turity.

Der of engineers more or less of

York with larger quantity of pure

Mr.. F. Wheeler, one of the assistant en-.
gineers having special charge of the
shafts lying south of shaft ID, at Ardsley
explained the project to reporter yester-
day.
Said Mr.. Wheeler: "a singular state
of things came under our observation g
few months ago. You know that the
country through which the tunnel is be.
ing constructed, is exceedingly billy. Ar
this tunnel must be on the level, it is
necessary to bore through the rock all
the way from Croton lake to the city.
Now, these rocks vary in height. As We
60 along with our work, we occasionally
expect to find between rocks "a pocket Of
earth extending, say, to the utmost, five
or ten feet. We found pocket extend
ing few feet south of shaft Is, near
Ardsley, late in March, and kept on
boring during theprevalence of severe
rain storm, and we found the tunnel be-
low all covered with earth. In fact, not
withstanding the timbers we had put up,
the earth came down in large quantities
the nasty, dripping clay and sand
and it stopped our operations in our
progress southwark from shaft 10. The
chief engineer then ordered a through
survey of the land adjoining this shaft,
and instead of pocket of only few
feet we found Just south of shaft ID, in a
straight line, nothing but plain earth,
extending over two hundred and fifty
feet"

querried the reporter.
at is Just this, that while we are

feet under that earth surface we may
have, during rain-storm, an avalanche
OF mother earth coming down on Us.
Before We progress with that tunnel we
have to put up timbers under the extern

struct the top of the tunnel under the
$50 feet of the earth at depth of 160

of keeping that earth above

Anecdote of Gov. Washburn.


Eugene V. Smalley, who has an illus
trated paper on the '.four- mills of Min
neapolis,'' in the May Century, says that
the late ex-Gov. Washburn, of Wiscon-
sin, was identified probably more closely
with the milling interests in Minneapolis
than any other one man. OF him Mr.
Smalley tells this characteristic anecdote
''The strength of Gov Washburn's char
acter was strikingly shown by his be-
havior in the face of the terrible calamity
which destroyed his mill in 1878. One
evening in May of that year, just after
the day force had left the big Washburn
mill and before the night force had all
come, the -four dust that filed the air and
covered the walls, floors, and machinery
took fire and exploded with destructive
force as tremendous as that of dynamite.
In an instant the tower of solid stone
was changed to a heap of ruins. The
fire was blown into three other mills neal
by, and one after another blew up and
crumbled into confused heaps of stones
and machinery. The explosions sue
|ceeded each other at intervals as regular
as if battery of siege guns had been
fired in order. Eighteen men we're kill
ed. Half the milling industry of Min
neapolis was obliterated, and the whole
city was appalled, at the terrific effects OF
destroying agency the existence OF
which had hardly been suspected. News
of the tragedy came to Gov. Washburn
at his home in Madison. He had an APP
pointment for the next morning with the
regents of the university of Wisconsin to
determine upon site for an astronomical
observatory, the money for building
which he had presented to the institu-
ton. The regents met, supposing that
the governor had left for Minneapolis as
soon as the news of the destruction of
his mills had reached him. To their sur
prise he walked into the room promptly
at o'clock, as calm as though nothing
had happened, and insisted on dispatch
ing the business before the board in
stead of talking about the disaster. Next
day he stood by the smoking ruins OF
his great mills. Friends gathered
around to condole with him on the de-
struction of million of dollars worth
of property. To them he said, the
money loss is not to be considered; !
think only of the poor victims and OF
families. The mills shall be rebuilt at
once And they were rebuilt as rapidly
as the courageous and energetic old gov
ernor could push on their construction. -

Divorce and intermediate Husbands

New York Commercial.
Many Americans are inclined to think
that in no country is divorce so readily
and expiditiously obtained as in theirs
But in Arabia and some other Moham-
medan lands man can, it is said, gel
rid Of his wife on the slightest pretext
Some Arabs, barely 40 years old, have
been known to have had forty wives
one for each year of their life-and they
seldom wed before 16 or II, or have
more than one wife at time. By the
Mussulmahic law husband may put
aside his wife without any form or cere-
mony, merely by orat declaration and by
repayment of portion, usually one
third, of her dowry. He may put her
aside twice and take her again, even
without her consent, but if he repudi-
ates her third time she can be recover
ed only after fully consummated mar
rage with and divorce from second
man. This involves some awkwardness
and Inconvenience. When q Moham-
medan, having twice dismissed his wife,
wants her once more, he selects the old
est, feeblest and poorest man he can find,
and induces him with certain sum to
discharge the legal requirements end
release his bride on the morrow. It hap
pens occasionally, however, that the in
termediary husband, after having enter
ed into the covenant and received the
refuses to relinquish his wife.
if she be pretty and rich. He
demands more money and extends his
usufruct until he secures it. Hence,
men who divorce their wives for tri6es
once or twice are comparatively careful
not to divorce them the third time, since
the intermediate fellow is an untoward
fellow to manage. intermediate hus-
band is matrimonial part we have not
yet attempted to play here.

Get Ready for Haying.

nuTdl WOTIu.
It is now only the last of April and
many will say ''there is no hurry about
thinking of haying; plenty of time fol
that after we have got through planting
corn" But the two months and less
before haying begins will slip by faster
than one thinks, and unless preparations
are made soon this most important crop
will suffer by delays occurring when
every moment is precious, and the loss
of an hour often costs many dollars in
lost and injured hay.
The Importance of having an ample
supply Of good hay for winter feed
ing is not fully appreciated by our
farmers. 1t is more truly the staff of
life to our domestic animals than is
bread to man, and all kinds of stock will
thrive on it alone, if properly grown
and secured. Even hogs relish the
sweet early cut hay in the winter.
But hay, to be relished and nourish-
ing, must be harvested at the proper
time and in the right way. Just as
bread can be made soggy, undigestible
and unnutritious by improper making
and baking, so can hay be made of
little or no value by improper manage
ment.
Much of the good quality of hay is
dependent on the time when it is cut.
Even the most careless farmer will adj
NIT that grass can stand SO long as to be
of little value, and they also know that
it can be cut too early to get the most
and best hay. It is evident then, that
there is time when the hay is at it's
best. When this is, has not been fully
determined in the minds of all who have
considered the matter, but all will agree,
that there is time when the grass has
reached ito best AMI from then on it looses
it's value each day. The weight of au-
thority asserts that as rule grass is at
its best when the seed is in the milk,
some claiming it is little before, some
little after this time. But whatever is
the exact time there is little to spare, and
the haymaker must needs be ready with
all of his tools in order and everything
in readiness so there will be as little de-
lay as possible when haying has once
commenced.
1t is none to early for the farmer to
begin to look after his hay machinery,
and see that it is in good repair. If new
machinery is to be bought, he should
take ample time to consider the merits
and dement's OF such as he is to buy.
Haying machinery has been perfected
to wonderful degree. Not many years
ago this work was the most laborious on
the farm. Now all the work from cut
ting the grass to moving the hay away
in the barn, is done by horse power.
The amount Of machinery necessary
in haying, Of course depends on the
amount Of haying to be done, and it viii
sometimes pay to hire portion Of the
machinery rather than buy it all. Near
can, If they only win, buy
many haymg and other farm tools in
partnership. and thus save money. A
horse-rske for instance is not used more
than several hours at q time, and, by
mutual agreement can be made to
serve both FARMS
