Making Soothing Oil Rockets.

The use of oil to calm troubled waters is we'll nown, and the latest inve1tion, that of scattering it abroad through the medium of rockets, seems likely to prove invaluable. Lieutenant Cottman, of tho Photographic office, thus explains in the Mail and Express how rockets are made:
 "Above the rocket composition the shell is prolonged an inch and half 10 receive the oil cylinder which contains within it an exploding chamber filled with powder. Some looso powder is poured on top of the fuse composition and the cylinder thon slipped on tho rocket. The stick is weighted with lead to balance exactly so as to prevent trembling. All being ready, the rocket is set eff from tube, and follows tho direction given it. The burning com position finally reaches the loose pow der, and the flame is communicated through small hole in the bottom of the cylinder to the bursting charge of powder within the exploding chamber, the cylinder is thrown for ward and ex- ploded, and the oil spread upon the surface of the water"
 The rockets have been tested and found to be successful in their work.

Shameful Pepper Adulteration.

The pepper of commerce is furnished by tho Piper nigrum, or black pepper plant, which grows in the East and West Indies. There are two varieties of pepper, known as "black" and "white" pepper and both are obtained from the same plant. Back ground pepper is tho entire berry of the plant reduce to powder, while the white consists of tho same berry decorticated or deprived of its outer black husk or covering. Tie consumer of pepper can be accommodated with an article adul- terated to any extent from ten to ninety per cont, and if he prefers to do his own adulteration, New York "manu- facturer of spice mixtures" will supply him with the requisite material, while another New York house will make ''goods to order for wholesale grocers and druggists' and furnish "spice mix tures." From inquiry among the trade in this city it would seem that the pep per mixture can be furnished at from two 10 five cents per pound, while pure pepper will cost about eighteen cents per pound. The United States agricul- tural department chemists found bran, roasted shells, corn, cracker dust, char coal and fibrous matter ia samples of pepper B .ltimore Sun.

Arabian Table Etiuuctte.

The eating operation is performed by the Arabs in this wise. Five of them seat themselves around large bowl of rice surmounted by skinny fowl, all being curried. Two seize the wings with their fingers and two tho legs; and simultane ously tearing these off, leave the carcass to the fifth, afterwards talk ing out the rico by handfuls and dex- terously conveying it to the mouth with peculiar jerk. One mark of hospi- tality shown to guests when at table consists in the chiefs rolling up some rice into ball in the palm of his hand and aiming it at his guests' widely dis tended jaws. O. one occasion this piece of civiiity was shown to myself, but not being an adept at the art of swallowing rice balls when so pro jccted, the effect was anything but what my kind entertainer anticipated, for inde- pendent of being nearly choked, tho grains were scattered, or rather splut- tered, over the table in a manner that elicited roars of lau ,hter even from the grave Arabs. This, of course, was the last experiment of the kind tried upon

Why a Corn Field Changed Color,

A remarkable arch e ologlcal dlscov- cry has just been made in German AL tenburg, small town between Vienna and Presburg, on the Danube. From details published, it appears that Pro- lessor Hauser, under whose direction the Carnuntum excavations are carried on, ever on the alert, had for a moath past observed the color of all extensive corn fl i'd, which varied in every part He found an elevated post of observa- tion, and, after weeks close attention, declared it to be his opinion that the corn field was growing over the site of an ancient amphithcatre. His drawings showed that the oblong centre piece was somewhat concave, and that the corn was quite ripe in that part, because there was much soil between the surface and the bottom of the theatre. Ellipti- cal lines of green, growing paler the higher they rose, howed the seats, and lines forming radius from tho centre showed tho walls supporting the ellipti- cal rows of scats. The Professor waited impaticntly for tho corn to ripcn, and the moment it was cut the excavations began. They havo shown that the al- most incredible suggestion was perfectly correct. Six inches below the soil the top of the outer wall was found, and from there the soil gradually grew thinner until the bottom of the arena was reached, the pavement of which is in perfect condition. From the theatre a paved road leads to tho camp of Car nuntum. As soon as the theatre has been entirely freed of the soil covering it, all the measurements will bc taken, and it will be ascertained what arena it ls.-- London Times

Sacred India Pea Fowls.

Birds of brilliant plumage, known as pea fowls, rua wild in the Indian jun gles, strut freely about the rice fields and frequent the sacred trees along the Grand Trunk road. Those that fre- quent the Grand Trunk road and stroll about in tho vicinity of the villages, arc almost as tame and fearless in the pres- ence of man as the domesticated ones that so proudly strut about the lawn of an American country house.
 The reason for their tameness is found in the fact that they also, in common with many things h both tho animal and vegetable kingdoma arc held sa- cred by the Hiudoos. The natives never hunt, frighten nor molest the pea cocks in any way, because they arc held sacred to their war-god Kar tikcya. In mythological times, when the Gods made war upon each other, this deity, the God of War and Gcneralissimo of the Armies of the Gods," wa, believed to ride to battle upon peacock. h con-  sequence of this tradition, the pious Hind % thinks it sacrilege to harm the martial fowl or in any way to show it disrespect.
 The Rajput warriors used to go to war wearing peacock feathers in their turbans, and even now they believe that these fowls scream when they hear thun- der because the noise is mistaken for tho din of battle.
 In certain districts the British govern ment has made laws forbid ding the shooting of pea-fowls by English hunt ing parties or by soldiers from the gar risons. This is done from the respect that the government always desires to show to the religious prejudices of the natives. -[St. Nicholas.

these is tho crab. From Havre ds Grace to Cape Charles the soft shell crab is eaten ln abundance by the in- habitants, ard tho surplus is shipped north to feed the cpicurcs of New York and New England.
 The shallow waters about Chia cot eague Island, on tn, Atlantic sido of Accomac county, Virginia, swarm with so!tshell crabs at this season. Whoever goes to Chincoteaguc finds set before him at dinner oysters ia at least three sty.es, white p,rch and crabs. Hot bread is an invariable accompaai- mont.
 Down in Sussex county, Delaware, is perhaps the only crab farm in tho world. It is oa Indian river, shal- tow stream flowing into Indian R,vor bay, and is farmed, oddly enough, by one of the few surviving Indians Of the peninsula. :tz.. ,
 This particular Indian is one of a SCOIo UT SO WHO lar Ill lue1E own 1uuu3 and live as civiliz,d a life as any white inhabitant of their native state Strangely enough, too, they have a special school system of their own, because they will not send their chil- dren to tho schools set apart for col ored children and arc not permitted to ssnd them to tho schools fo1 whites. The crab farm is very suc- cessful institution, where tho farme, studies the ways of the crab, provides or him the most suitable food and promptly takes him out of his native element when the market offers the most inducement. Hundreds of crates of scft,hell crabs are sent up from tho peninsula every season and not few ol them come from the Indian River cral farm.

The StOrm-lOying MiSsel.

The missel- thrush sings oaly during a thunder storm. The louder the thun- der rolls the thriller and swecter be- comes it's voice. This interesting little
 bird is popularly known by tho namo of the storm cock because hc is supposed to sing boldcst immediately previous to to storm; but that he also sends forth his 'nativo wool-notes wild' durin 2 its continuan co is fact which has been satisfactorily ascertained. Uadismayed by the temptist's fury, or rather rej,ic- ing in it's violence, the small but spirit ed songster warbles on uncoasing'y, as if desirous of cmulating the loudncss of the thundcr-tono or of making hi song be heard above thu noise of the raging cl .mcnts. | Now York Dispatch.

Crab Farms.

The crabs are sent to this city, says the New York Telegram, from Long Island, New Jersey Delaware, Mary land, Virginia and perhaps from bays and inlets further south. All persons who go to market know how the crust aceans are shipped. They como in fit slated boxes or crates, wrapped ia damp, salt smelling seawecd or grass.
 They are very cheap at the water side and rather expensive in market. Per- haps tho finest era bs aro found in the waters of the Delaware and Maryland peninsula. The Chesapeake and its hundreds of tributaries on one side, and the Atlantic, with it's many bays and ialets, on the othrr, abound in all good things that swim. Not the least Of

Greek Church Services.

Dresden, c rmaay, is favorite win ter resort for Russians, many of whom have delightful villas hero. They havc built very pretty and picturesque Greek church, presenting quito an oriental appo2ra~co with its clustered lomes. Lifting porticro, oac enters what seems to te . largo square room with highly polished floor, two bay. windows on each side, whcrc the peo' pie of rank go, and an altar at the end, placed in a sort, of shrine, which is entered by means of thrco largc doors. The choir stands quito near the en. trance to the altar, and is composed en- tirely of male voices, loy, singing the higher parts. There is neither organ o. any instrumental accompaniment, and the music is all ia the minor key, and is very beauti ul. There arc no pews and very few chairs, for every ono, unless old or sick, is expected to stand or kneel during tho entire service, sermon included. Scattered about are large stands for candles, and any worshipper desiring to perform an act of devotion places lighted caadlo in ono of them. The priests ara attired with great mag. uifcencc in purple, crimson and gold under vcstments, and long robes of green and gold brocade, and wear jewelled crosses and rings. They wear full beards aud long hair. Tho wor- shippers constantly allupon their knees, lowing their heads to the ground with with oriental humility and crossing themselves continually, the priests in- toning the prayers and swinging ccnsors, while above all rises the full mclodious swell of the chantod music. Tho effect is quite impressive. The prlcst preachos his sermon with aspod hands and bent head, and delivers it in what appears to be carefully studied monotone, but. fortunately, it is not vsry long. -IBalti- more Sun.

The sun sinks down; the tree tops show A tender, lingering after glow;
 No faintest sound Save sleepy whir of weary wings, And sleepy song birdling sings
 That's homeward boundl The shadows creep OCT meadow lands And o'er the ford and river sands
 And rocky ground; Ger fresh plowed fields and barren placs And OCT the tired plow-boys face
 That's homeward bound! A silver star world, faint and fair, Has sent glimmer through the air
 And all around Is bathed in pale, celestial light, That guides the sailor. who, at night,
 Is homeward bound. The dusk that wraps the land and ssa Brings dreams of sweetest rest to me
 And joy profound; For as the days doth pass me by They bring ma nearer Heaven-for
 Am homsward boun1l Some time-not far off, it may be- There'll dawn the days of days for me;
 Then OCT the mound That hides me raise a simple stone With just these little words alone

It is pleasant to record such conspicu- ous example of perfect trust and true appreciation as this case affords Thousands of men who might attribute their success In life to the same cause never give any tangible evidence oi their recognition of tho fact.

The Structure of the Jelly.flsh.


 The active Jclly-fsh is as different from al the members of tho hylroid colony as butterfly is from caterpil- lar. When fully grown it is vastly larger than hydra, and it has welt developed swimming apparatus, which is under the control of nervous system, which again is brought into relation with the external world by means of special sense-organs. It is gelatinous bell, from the inner surface of which the pendent stomach hangs down like the bell-clapper, while tho long, grace full, thread like tentacles arc attached at regular intervals around ths opening of the bell. The locomotor muscles are so distributed over tho inner surface of tho bell that their contraction squirts out the water in jet which prope!s the an- imal in the opposite direction; they arc then relaxed, and the elasticity of the gelatinous substance of the wall of the bell causes it to expand and to draw in another supply of water, which is dis charged by the next muscular pulsation. The tentacles are 50 elastic and hair like that they are hold by the resistance of the water, and are drawn out behind the animal into fae glassy threads which arc thrown into graceful undu- lations at esch pulsation as it swims through the water, and, when it comes to rest and sink slowly towards the bot tom, they form web or net which is almost invisible, but far more danger ous than any spiders web, for evory thread is covered with the terrible poi. son. darts. .-[Popular Science Monthly.

Antiquity of Brickmaking,

Brickmakiag is one of the oldest trades in tho world. The Egyptians taught to the Greeks, and they in turn taught it to thu Romans. Somo of tho bricks made hundred of years before Christ are still in existence and they are better than the modern article. The wages of bricklayers havs been steadily increasing. In Babylon brick layer got forty cents a day; in Rome under the empire, he was paid ollar, and in London in tho sixteenth century he got two dollars. The average pay for bricklayer iu this country is $3 20 for days work.

"The Norway Sheep"

The fierce wind breaking from his bonds
 comes roaring from the west; On every long, deep rolling wave the white
 horse shows his crest As if a million mighty steeds had burst their
 masters hold; For the wild white sheep of Norway are com-
 ing to the fold. The storm drum shows it's warning sign; tho
 sea gulls swoop and cry; The feecy clouds are driven fast across the
 stormy sky, Along the sands the fresh foam-gouts in
 ghastly sport are rolled; For the wild white sheep of Norway arc,
 coming to the fold. Wistful the fisher seaward looks, out from
 the great stone pier, Wistful he stands, the breakers call along
 the cliffs to hear, To hear across the flowing tide, the ceaseless
 rock bell toiled, While fast and fierce the Norway sheep arc
 coming to the fold. 'sThe wife and bairns will get no bread from
 wonder sea-" he thinks, As his idle coble by the staithes strains at it's
 cables links; Small use to bait the lines, or see the broad
 brown sails unfurled, When the wild white sheep of Norway are coming to the fold. God guard the ships at sea tonight" the stern old sailors say, Straining keen eyes across the waste of heav-
 ing, tossing spray, Recalling many bitter night of storm and
 dread of old, When the wild white sheep of Norway were
 coming to tho fold. Oh! there is many an aching heart, here in the red-roofed town, As wives and mothers hear the blast como wailing from the down; Who knows what tale of death or wreck tomorrow may be tolda For the wild white sheep of Norway arc coming to tho fold. IAll tho Year Round.
