Stamping nations zeal with victory.

Brave patriot-soldier, every inch man
Whose fame is for all time, not for a day.
About thy brow the eternal lightnings play,
That God enkindled when the earth began.

When Maestro Verdi arrived at Monte
catini to take the waters and with them a
well earned holiday, he found that the
chief piece of furniture in the suite of
rooms prepared for him was a piano.
Without saying a word, the composer took
the music of his ~''Trovatore, which had
been put on the music stand as a gentle
ovation, locked the piano, and said to the
son of the hotelkeeper, Take me to the
place whence l can see the deepest abyss. "
The young man, somewhat abashed at the
proposal, made in solemn tones. led Verdi
to the top of the Marienberg, whence the
latter. who was so tired that he was
hardly able to stand. hurled the key into
the depths, saying, The Virgin be
praisedl now | have accomplished an act
which will greatly help me to enjoy and
benefit by my stay. On the day of my de-
parture from here will see that the key
is replaced" Holiday seekers, go and do
likewise, leaving behind you the keys of
whatever workshops ye come FROM

artificial flowers are made in Venice.
whence nearly all Italy is supplied. and
whence whole wagon loads are exported

flower factories, for no sooner has the
visitor to Venice taken his early cup of

place, when the cicerone appears, Offering
to show hin the famous" factory of tn.
famous Italian flowers" This factorr
is situated in one of the gray old houses
of the FrezZaria, and several hundred
girls are occupied in it. In the warehouse
the most wonderful reproductions OF
natural flowers are exhibited in glass
cases, and it seems in many cases as ii
not only the richest and most brilliant
colors, but the very scent of the flowers,
had been stolen from nature, for some OF
the artificial flowers are STEPPED in the
perfume distilled from the flower. which
it represents. Any one wishing to take
home some souvenir of Venice can have
his choice of beautiful and often fantastic
objects at the factory.
In the upper stories of the house the
girls sit at their work. constructing with
clever hands, the most beautiful works
of art, for all the most expensive arti-
fetal flowers are nearly exclusively made
by hand, and their value depends solely
on the manual dexterity and taste of the
poorly clad and mostly delicate looking
girls, sitting Mt long tables, and inhaling
the unhealthy dust of the dyed materials.
No machinery could replace the dexterity
and taste. Last century n Swiss invented
a machine for cutting out the leaves and
petals. but it can only be used for the
smallest kinds, snch as are wanted for
hyacinths. lilies of the valley, and other
small flowers. In larger petals the ir-

petals are made is woven in special fac
tories: the scissors and other tools used
by the girls, as well as the presses in
which the veins are traced on the leaves.
are of a shape specially adapted to the
work.
Each part of a flower is made by special
lists. In one room, for instance, only
stalks of flowers and leaves are made: in
another fruits and berries of all kinds are
cast, if they are of wax, or blown. if of
glass. The cleverest workers are EN-.
ployed in making blossoms of the single
petals. and bouquets, wreaths, and gar.

interesting to watch this process and to

cooked and handed to you on a clam shell

Half the pleasure of having the hair
washed and groomed is to AVE some one
do it who knows how. In England, in
the large stores, there is a department of
hair dressing where IN accomplished bar
Der, with every convenience for shower
ing and drying. will wash the hair of
ladies for one shilling. In this country a
good shampoo cost from fifty cents to 81
which is a large sum for SO simple an
operation.
After combing the snarls from the hair,
braid it loosely and bind the end with q
small elastic band. Draw tepid water in
a basin and first wash the scalp thor
oughly with CASTLE soap; then let the
brnid fall in the water, soap it and wash
as if clothes. Afterward thoroughly rinse
and wiring the braid in a towel. Wipe
the head dry, undo the braid and brush
out. beginning at the lower end, when it
will not tangle. Let the hair loose In the
sun and air and it will dry in less than
half an hour. A woman's hair should be
washed at least monthly if kept fine and
healthy.-New York Evening Sun.

Wine is the fermented Juice of the
grape, and is distinguished from other
fermented and alcoholic liquors by CON
tanning hi .tartrate of potash, a constitu-
ent of the grape. Blackberries, c~urrants.
and other berries, by fermentation, will
yield n wine. but the name of the berries
from which obtained is always appended
to the vinous product. When the term
wine alone is used the fermented Juice of
the grape is signified. and anything else
is a misnomer. The numerous varieties
of wine are occasioned by difference of
soil, CLIMATE. season, and by the kind,
quality and condition of the grapes as to
ripeness, the mode of fermentation, and
by the manner and temperature at which
the wine is preserved. and by its age.
The strong wines, such as sherry, port
and Madeira, are made from grapes
that are thoroughly ripened, and which,
on account of containing a large amount
of sugar, yield, when fermented, a greater
amount of alcohol. which will range be-
tween Is and % per cent. Claret contains
about II per cent. and champagne about
10. Sweet wines. like tokay, are made
from grapes SO ripe that they are almost
shriveled up to ~raisins, and therefore con
tain much sugar, and the fermentation is
arrested before all the sugar is converted
into alcohol, which will hardly reach 10
per cent. Champagne is bottled before
the fermentation has ceased, and hence
some of the carbonic acid resulting from
the fermentation is retained in the wine,
to be given off only when the bottle is
opened. 1t is, perhaps. not too much Ia
say that most wines exported from Euro
pean wine countries are adulterated.-
Professor w. p. Tonry in Baltimore Sun.

Did you ever hear anybody say Don't
hurry off in the heat of the day without
your blanket?" 1t is a very common ex-
preston in the rural districts of the west
and south. Well, in Mexico the express
sion is used as a remonstrance against the
departure of a guest. Every Mexican, on
coming to town from the country, carries
n blanket with him. He does not 20 to
the hotel and ask for lodgings, but fnds
shelter at almost any private house, par.
ticularly among the poor. He then lies
down upon the stone floor, rolls himself
in his blanket and goes promptly to sleep.
"a the morning he awakens at daylight,
anu, asking the blessing of heaven upon
the house which sheltered him, he goes
OFT to some plaza and there boils his
coffee in the open square.-''R. III. Y" in
St. Louis Republic.

Rivers Which Fish Desert.

Close observers have ascertained that
rivers running through t~reeless tracts of
country are nearly, if not quite, destitute
of fish, and that fish will desert a stream
from which timber has been removed,
although they previously swarmed there,
in. In the propagation of fish it is not
enough to place the fry in water; they
must be provided with food, and the best
means to do this is to preserve the Dor.
der trees and insure q steady supply of
water and food by preserving the forests
whence the supply of food is derived. If
new forests are cultivated on the barren
ranges, many a stream now nearly empty
during the dry seasons will be reflled
with fish and food for the many.-The
Timberman.

HEave been toad, even in cultivated, in
tellectual circles, that a young woman
had better be in the kitchen or laundry
than in the laboratory or class room of 8
college. Women should be trained"
sunh persons say, ito be wives and
mo hers" The finger of scorn has been
lightly pointed at the mentally cultivated
mEthers and daughters who are unable to
cook and scrub, who cannot aak a mince
pie or a plum pudding. such persons for
get with surprising facility all the cases
of women who neglect the kitchen to in.
duIge in the love sick sentimentality to
to which they have been trained; who
think too much of possible matrimonial
chances to endanger them by scrubbing,
ar by giving ground for the suspicion that
they cultivate any other faculty than the
power to apostrophize the moonlight and
to long for a lover. They do not care to
remember that it is no whit better to
wither under the influence of ignorance
r sentiment. to cultivate a fondness for
''gush," THAI to dry up the sensibilities
lke a book worm, or grow rigid and prig.
gish as Il pedant.
1t is as bad to stunt human nature as
10 over stimulate ito stopits progress
in one way as in another. The danger is
in going to extremes. The mass of men
choose the golden mean, and we may
trust women to avoid extravaganza in the
pursuit of learning. We may and ought
to give her every help in the direction of
life that her brothers possess. 1t is no
longer doubtful, it is plain, that what.
ever other rights woman should have,
