Uncle sam,s wh,tewash,

Excursionists who travel along the sea
coast in summer are often attracted by the
remarkable whiteness of the lighthouses
bescons and keepers dwellings, and they
wonder how these guides to the mariner
are kept in such shining condition dur.
ing the winter as well as summer. The
material used is simply whitewash, and
here is the United States formula for mix
ing whitewash that when properly made
and applied gives a white that does not
easily wash or rub of.
To ten parts of best freshly slaked lime
add one part of the best hydraulic cement.
Mix well with salt water and apply quite
thin.-Neg York Sun.

A carniral AZ nrnInz.

The fiftieth anniversary of the Carnival
club Of Mainz was recently celebrated at
the large hall of the court house. The
assembled guests counted nearly 5000,
among them the governor of the fortress,
Won Winterfeld; the director of the
province, Kuechler, and the mayor, DR..
Oechsner. The ceiling was supported
by fourteen Aliases twenty-three feet
high and clad in clowns dress. The
garlands stretching from head to head of
these figures were held up by immense
wasps, flies, ETC., with most gorgeous
wings. The rostrum was adorned with
every imaginary emblem of foolery. The
band wore dresses of feathers represent
ing all kinds of birds, the conductor be-
ing gigantic cacadoo. The goddess of
foolery, just emerging from an immense
egg, was suspended from the center of
the ceiling, and her double appeared as
leader of the escort of King Carnival.
Presents were carried by Father Rhine,
the genii Of music and song, Moguntia,
etc. From some funny devices, at the
bidding of the goddess, the heads of the
eleven city councillors were brought forth.
Funny orations, representations and songs
alternated with orchestral music and
dances, and the Jolly y.company did not
separate till morning.-Foreign Letter.

(female) are in tho women's circle All
classes chew the betel nut. and at the
theatre each family has the betel pot and
spittoon. The latter is carried by a
slave, who hands it to the ladies when
they wish to spit. The betel nut is
astringent and somewhat intoxicant. 1t

The king, princes and common people
are alike slaves to the nasty habit, and
half Of the women have their mouths
injured, if not absolutely distorted by it.
Otherwise the women are decidedly
comely, having fine forms and good
gaits. Women and men dress so nearly
alike that l could hardly distinguish one
from the other for several days, for all
wear short hair.

trousers, falling to the knees A gentle
man wears q coat (sacque) closely but
toned to the neck, with long stockings
and low shoes. The common man dis
penses with the coat, stockings and shoes.
The woman generally allows the ''pa-
noong" to hang like a petticoat, and
wraps about her breast a girdle, leaving
the upper part Of the bosom and shoulders
entirely bare, and none wear shoes.
Many Of the working women dispense
with the girdle entirely. The great mass
of people, even in the city, go barelegged
and barefooted. This is universal in the
country.
The women appeared to be industrious,
and perform much more than half the
work. The men are lazy, and, with the
exception of fishing, appear to be willing
to leave the women TO earn the bread.

The Desert of Sahara has already been

No nation has ever shown a tithe of the
enterprise, skill and persistence of the
French in the way of what may be
termed "world Improvement, " They
attacked the enormous sand dunes of
their own coast, and fixed them by Judi
cious paintings of forests, turning mill
lions of acres of waste into fertility. We
also owe the joining of the Atlantic and
Indian oceans to Frenchman. But so
quietly have they worked in the Saharas

the progress made. Forty-three oases

hand. DR.. Feltz noticed that the mother
carried the child on her left arm, and,
upon being questioned, said it had always
been her custom to carry her children on
this arm. Tho doctor advised her to
hold the child on her right arm.
She did so; the child soon began to
use his right hand in seizing objects, and
is now, at the age Of 10 years, normal
as regards the preference of the right
over the left hand. The doctor explained
that when the nurse carries the child on
the left arm, the left arm of the infant is

A Pleasing Novelty in Dinners.

Just prior to serving the next course, TIE
host gave his signal and rose from his
seat, as did every other gentleman at the
table, all the ladies remaining seated.
Each gentleman then moved TO the next
gentleman's seat to his right. When this
was first done, the ladies, not being let
into the secret, were very much surprised
at the unusual conduct of the gentlemen,
and could not at once comprehend tho
meaning of it; but when they gathered
its full intent, and the charm there was
in it, it was decidedly gratifying to noto
the merriment and interest with which
they received the innovation. Just prior
to the commencement Of the next course
the host gave his signal again, and each
gentleman again moved one gentleman S
seat to his right, and so on. The entire
setting of the courses was so harmoni-
ously arranged that at the close of the

short space, every lady at the table, and

Dancing for Rain.

In many parts of the Balkan peninsula,
and especially in Servia and Bulgaria,
the old pagan custom of dancing for
rain still prevails. During times of great
drought the peasant girls assemble in
public places and deck themselves with
flowers and the branches of trees. One
girl, holding branch in her hand, repre-
sents Dodol, the Slav god of the air, to
whom the others sing a song appealing
for rain for the thirsty land, while one
of the bystanders throws water from a
pitcher upon the feet of the dancers.
The master of the house rewards the
dancing divinities with a small present,
confident that their lively appeal for rain
ought to be at least as effective as sailors
whistling for wind.-Frank Leslie's.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
number of -four mills throughout the coun-
try is decreasing year by year. 1t very
rarely happens that a mill that is destroyed
by fire or otherwise is rebuilt, and in that
way it has come that within the last decade
the total number of mills throughout the
country has fallen of considerably. The
reason for this is the smallness Of the profits
now realized from milling. Only the larger
