Why the Irish Like Green,

The early Celts woTshipped the Dawn
and the Sunrise. 1t is more than prob
able that the Irish preference of the
color green, for their flag and their
sashes, arose from a mistake among
those who had lost a thorough knOwl-
edge of the old Irish language. The
sun, in Irish, is called by a word pro-
nounced like our word green" =" and it
is likely that the Irish fOndness for that
color arose from the words exact like
ness in sound to their word for the sun.
In the same way, when we talk about
greenhouses, we think they are called
so because the plants are kept green in
them during winter. Yet it is far more
probable that ''green," here. is the Irish
word mea nIng, not the color, but the
sun because greenhouses are built so
as to catch the suns rays and store them
up while it is hidden by clouds, as happens
more than half the time in showery

Unusually large hailstones have fallen in
different sections of the country within a
month, but it seems none equalled in size
those that descended last week during a
storm In Harrington, Kan, that is thus de-
scribed by the Topeka Capital. The hail lay
two feet thick over thousand acres in one
solid body in the vicinity of the town, and
many Of the hail stones were as large as the
doubled fist Of full grown man. The
heavy rain which fell with the hail washed
them from the high ground into the valleys
in great ridges from four to six feet in
height. Every spear of vegetation was COM
pletely destroyed, as were also all fruit and
shade trees, Every window in Harrington
was broken.

THE Chicago Grand Jury on yester-
day week returned indictments against
August Spies and five other Anarchists
for murder in connection with the Hay
market massacre on the night of the 4th
of May, when a dynamite bomb was
thrown into the ranks of the police kill
ing five Of their number. The cases of
several other Anarchists are under con-
sideration by the Grand Jury. Quite a
number of Anarchists in st. Louis and
Milwaukee are under arrest and will be
put upon their trial as soon as true bills
are found against them. 1t is absolute
ly necessary for the peace of the country
and the protection of human life that
every nest of these scoundTels in the
large cities, where the opportunities for
disseminating their infamous doctrines
are almost unlimited, should be broken
up, and that they should be sternly taught
that This is a country of liberty and
not OF license to preach the doctrines of
the followers of the the Red flag in
Berlin and Paris. 1t is not such a state
OF affairs as Thomas Jefferson meant
when he said that error of opinion could
be tolerated when reason is left free to
combat it. Anarchy means the death
of the Government and its bloody adyo-
Gates must be put down by the strong
ann of the law.

JOHANN MOsT, the New York An
aTchist, and his two intimate associates
and co-wOTkers, Schenck and Braunsch-
weig, were convicted on Friday last Of
the offence of melting to riot by the
speeches they have been in the habit of
making in several halls in that city in
defense of their peculiar theories il re-
gard to the right of men to acquire
property and to be protected in its peace
able enjoyment. We don't suppose that
Most ever did an honest days work in
his life, certainly not since he las been
in this country, and presumably not in
Germany where he spent the greater
portion of his revolutionary career in
prison. His notion of liberty of speech
is shaJ man has perfect right to say
anything he pleases without being called
to account for it; to preach doctrines
which, if once put into practice, would
uprOOt society, destroy all peace and
order, make all property common, let
ting him take who can and letting him
keep who is able. He fights under a
red flag bearing the inscription, ''the
possession of property is robbery" He
urges his deluded hearers to purchase
arms and hold nightly drills in order
that they may be prepared to enforce
their agrarian demands either by the
bullet or at the point of the bayonet.
His aim is to create a war, not of words,
but war Of blood and rapine on the
part of the working men against their
employers. That his destructive doc
trines will ever find any great foothold
in this country of liberty and law is not
seriously dreaded. The working man
can and will protect his rights through
the peaceable exercise of the ballot, an
instrumentality unknown to such
apostles Of Anarchy as Most, whose
proper place of domicile is in prison.

Photographing from a Balloon.

From paper in the Century we quote as follows: '"The mountains crossed in this delightfully."- easy manner, we were over the town of Bloomfield; and an ex. posture was made on what seemed to us a fine type of the better class of New Eng land homestead, which, with its large fields, trim fences, and ample buildings, was directly below us. This view, taken at the height of one mile, is wonderfully distinct, when we consider the distance of the objects from the camera, the con ditions necessary to the taking of an in stantaneous picture, and our very un. steady support. The stone and rafl fences, bounding the fields of all sizes and shapes are shown with great sharp. ness. The pas ure, meadow, and cultI vated land arc plainly indicated; also the curiously regular arrangement of the crops. The trim and regular appearance of the orchards is well entrusted with the variety and freedom of growth in the woodland; and the photographic effect of the autumnal colors is indicated by the foliage of Q group of white birches near the centre of the view, as contrasted with the dark, unchanged green of the orchards.

0Aunt Rachal.O

Before leaving his rural home in Ten nessee, writes correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser, Gen. Jack sen had been afflicted by the sudden death of his wife. "Aunt Rachal," as Mrs. Jackson was called by her husbands personal friends, had accompanied him to Washington when he was there as senator from Tennessee. She was short, stout, unattractive and uneducated woman, though greatly endeared to Gen. Jackson. While he had been in the army she had carefully managed his plantation, his slaves and his money ma tiers, and her devotion to him knew no bounds. Her happiness was centered in his, and it was her chief desire to smoke her corncob pipe in peace at his side. When told that he had been elected president of the United States she replied: 'Well, for MT. Jackson's sake am glad of it, but for myself 1 am not" A few weeks later she was arrayed for the grave in a white satin costume which she had provided herself with to wear at the white house. After her funeral her sorrow-strickcn husband came to Washington with a strong determination to punish those who had maligned her during the preceding campaign. Having been told that Presi- dent Adams had sanctioned the publica- tion of the islanders, he did not call at the white house, in accordance with usage, but paid daily visits to his old friends in the war department. MT. Adams, stung by this neglect, determined not to play the part of the conquered leader at the inauguration, and quietly removed to tho house of Commodore Porter, in the suburbs, on the morning of the third of March.

How to Destroy Rats.

An attempt to catch rats by traps or by poisoning them suddenly will fail. Old rats know too much and can only be caught by kindness. To destroy them give them good meal every day. Do not put any poison in the food, but simply prepare dish for them daily, as a free lunch, composed of corn meat moistened with milk, into which an egg and little salt, to season, has been beaten. At first they may not touch it, but keep it before them making it fresh daily. They will soon try little and if not injurious their suspicious will be allayed. In week or ten days they will expect it and every rat on the place will be at the appointed spot for the treat. Give plenty of it so as to inducet all the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do not be in hurry to poison them. If they eat all the food give them lar ger quantity next time. As soon as they have thrown off all suspicion go to your druggist, get some phosphorus paste or other rat poison, mix it with the food, and be sure you give them enough and something to spare, so as to induce all to eat. They will either be killed or become so suspicious of all other food as to leave, and not rat will remain. Hence to destroy rats, take plenty of time, gain their confidence and finish them when they least expect it.-Farm, Field and Stocknan.

Raising Tea.

Tea planting, in the preliminary stages
 is very similar to coffee planting. The ground is cleared and the plants laid out in the same manner. Many of the oN coffee estates in the island of Ceylon are being abandoned and tea put in the place of coffee. The climate is found to be admirably suited for the tea known as Assam hybrid, which is cross between the indigenous Assam and the China va- riety, the former being more of shrub than the latter; but China tea also grows well, and it is used principally for mix ing. The most important part of tea es- tate is the tea house. Here are the rolling machines; the frames in which the tea is dried and where all the sorting takes place. Everything must be scrupulously clean. When flush is on, i. e., when the little delicate "tips" appear on the shrub, women are sent out with large baskets and these little "tips," one long, one short, and one shorter still, are nipped off by them. Their clothes and their finger nails must be looked after or else they will taste the tea. They then carry the leaves to the tea houses where they are spread out on shelves to wither, after this arc put in copper pan and slightly heated over a charcoal fire; then comes the rolling, and tho next operation is to dry them over slow fire. The final stage is reached when they are ''sieved' and sorted into the different grades pre-. paratory to being shipped to market.

tsPresident Lincoln had substitute in the Army" said Noble D. Larner, to the Washington Critic reporter, while talk ing over old times in Washington, "and he was credited to the Third Ward of this city. It was in the winter of 1864 5 that General Fry, then provost marshal here, sent for me and told me that the President wanted substitute to go to the war for him. At the time was con- nected with the Third Ward Draft Club, the principal object of which was to se- cure substitutes for members who might be drafted. There lived in our W ard a son of clergyman who bore the usual reputation given to ministers sons, and he was naturally a ne'er do wcll.' This fellow was desired to represent the Presi- dent, and check from the White House for $500, payable at Riggs's Bank, was the consideration. Nothing was ever heard of the young man afterwards, but it was generally believed that he was killed during the Wilderness campaign.

How to Prevent B ting Drowned.

A gentleman prominent in business in Chicago asks the Inter- O,ean to empha- size fact published some months ago about how to avoid drowning when un. able to swim. The directions were: clock the hands behind the back, and fully infate tho lungs and close the mouth." The reason he asks this is that some years ago he lost an only son by drowning in the Mississippi river, and, as would be natural, anything referring to the subject quickly arrests his atten- ton. After reading the article, he read it aloud to his wife and daughter, and upon the latter it made a profound im- pression. Two or three weeks ago, while his daughter was enjoying row on Lake Michigan huge wave capsized the boat and threw her into the water, which was deep. While the daughter was sinking she remembered the direc- tions, clasped her hands behind her, and, when she arose, threw the water from her mouth ana hlled her lungs Iull o1 air before she sunk second time. She went under but a short distance, and upon reaching the surface she foated until boat put out from shore and res- cued her. The gentleman remarked: "Had it not been for these wise dircc- tions repeated to my daughter, and her obeying them, am satisfied would to- day be childlcss." This year there have been an unusually large number of deaths from drowning, and it would seem wise for parents to impress these simple directions on the minds of young people. They are good even for those who can swim, for it will enable them to rest anc have better opportunity for rescue.-

Potatoes Ready Peeled.

An American gentleman residing in France writes: Potato culture is likely to receive an new impetus since the plan of selling them peeled, sliced and dried, like certain fruits, seem to hit the taste of the export market. The drying of the potatoes can follow the period of dessication of fruits. The method ob- viatcs decay and germinaton of the tuber, and occupying . less volume transport will be cheaper and less difi- cult. The potatoes arc peeled by ma chinery; next carefully washed, sliced into rounds, and left for 20 minutes in . strong solution of kitchen salt. Tho brine induces firmness in the slices and prevents their changing color--thus se- curing what sulphur does for fruits. Later the cuttings arc left to drain, placed in the drying apparatus on hurdle shelves and submitted to a temperature varying from 176 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit They must remain little longer in this hot bath than fruit. Be- fore using the slices have to be steeped twelve to fifteen hours in water, when they will become as fresh and as favory as new potatoes

Looking After the Scalp.

Many think that by cutting the hail short they increase it's growth. But this is doubtful. Women rarely become bald yet they never cut their hair as do men. May not their immunity from shining pate be partly due to the fact that they do not patronize the barber, nor wear light head-gear? If in early life our young men would look after their scalps, even while they do not appear to need attention, it might save them the trouble of looking after them in sorrow at 8 later period, when it will not do much good. If they do not the time will come when we shall have a race of human beings without halr. - RestSA Budost,
