Won nIoltke at Graxelotte.

The French artillery and mitrail.
leuses responded vigorously to the
Krupps, and with deadly effect, but as
far as we could see the German left
continued its advance and staff officers
came up frequently to report that all
was going on well at points hidden
from our view. These reports were
always made to the king first, and
whenever anybody arrived with
tidings Of the fight we clustered
around to hear tho news, Gen. Won
Moltke unfolding O map meanwhile
and explaining the situation.
This done, the chief Of the staff,
while awaiting the next report, would
either return to seat that had been
made for him with some knapsacks,
or would occupy tho time walking
about, kicking clods of dirt or small
stones here and there, his hands
clasped behind his back, his face pale
and thoughtful. He was then nearly
20 years old, but because Of his ema-
ciated figure, tho deep wrinkles in his
face, and crows feet about his eyes,
he looked even older, his appearance
being suggestive of the practice of
church asceticisms rather than of his
well known ardent devotion to the
military professionalism. Sheridan

Peculiarities of tho Anus.

Inasmuch as there are no family
names, no village, tribal, or national
rights to be respected, there is nothing
approximating to father right or
mother right. Or perhaps it would be
more exact to say that, inasmuch rs
women are only recognized as servants
throughout their whole lives, and as
mothers as soon as they have reached
the proper age, the personality of the
whole family is sunk in that of the
husband and father while he lives.
When he dies he is ut once and abso-
lutely forgotten, and each surviving
member OF his family pursues an en-
tirely separate course, in no way con-
corning himself about tho others. If
man dies and leaves family of in
FAINT children, the care of them de-
wolves upon tho mother until the
oldest son reaches the ago of about 10;
then he becomes the head of tho
family. Female inheritance is utterly
unknown, rs would DC expected in q
society wherein women have no rights
at all. If man is so unfortunate us
to leave no true heir, or so careless as
not to havo adopted one, his property
goes to his next younger brother, or
his nearest male relative, if he have no
brothers either by birth or adoption

salmon which has been brought packed
in ice upon the heads of runners from
q distance of q hundred miles, appetite
ing kababs of lambs and venisOn,
fowls and cartridges Tin silver bowls,
stewed to rags and served with strange
great heaps of boiled rice in steaming
pyramids, white rice, green rice, col
ored by an artful admiXture Of herbs
rice boiled with saffron of q ruddy
gold color; omelets and sweet dishes,
innumerable little china cups Of tooth
some pickles, small china bowls con
tanning various thick soups, but not a
single joint TO be seen. Everybody
eats away as if he had never tasted
food before. There arc no forks, no
spoons, no plates; but every mans
hand appears to be dipping at once
into the innumerable dishes.
Occasionally our host with his
mouth half full, grrnts out an en-
treaty that we should taste some par
ticular delracy, and in twenty min
utes all is over. Iced rosewater is
poured upon the fingers of each guest
from silver ever, and no wipes them
upon a delicately embroidered napkin.
About a tenth of what has been pro-
vided has been consumed by the party |;
the rest is removed and gobbled up
with surprising celebrity by the great
tribe of hungry servants. Pipes are
brought once more, but there is little
or no conversation the Persians say
that Ito talk after good meal is the
act of an i'll bred man or a fool" And
then we get up and bid our hospitable
friend good night. And as we leave,
we see that the mysterious covered
tray is being taken to tho banqueting
room, and we know that our fellow
guests and our host will drink, smoke
and gamble until an unholy hour in
the morning.-Good Words.

The Zinc Plate In Ar.

Tho photo-lithographers arc looking
toward zincography as refuge and
substitute forthe Bayarian lithographic
stone and the wood cut, and expert
ments are being made in America,
Germany and England, where picto-
rial periodicals. and newspapers are
published TO get the effects of the
photographic pen. The difference be-
tween the processes of TYPOGRAPHY and
zincography, however, is SO great that
judgment cannot be passed as yet. The
great pOnderous soapstone reproduces
colors drawn on It with greasy
pencil. The zinc can be etched with
nitric or muriatic acid, and, with tho
aid of powerful lens, photography
called into aid with marvellous effect.
The advantages of such process may
be summarized under two heads.
economy and convenience-and for
daily newspaper pictorial work, where
rapidity must be combined with a GER
tain amount of artistic excellence,
there can be no doubt of the zinc plate
superseding all other methods of re-
producing pictures, and the wood cut
is gradually fading away.
In the weelilies and monthlics,
where the mczzo tint can be success
fully printed, the wood cut may ell
dured for some time. but even now
some of the Photographic pen and ink
line drawing is UNNECESSARILY better
than the black and white brush work on
wood. The process of biting plate
with acid is, of course, older than
Rembrandt, but it has until the last
few years been an expensive and la
borious art. The hurry Of the age de-
manded its Improvements, and soon it
will be possible to reproduce great
pictures in few hours, and transfers
may DO made with great facility and
preserved for future use at the nOmi-
nal expense Of the cast Of the zinc
plates and the necessary storage room.

NARRAOANSETr TURKEYs.

Just now turkeys are important birds;
attention is naturally drawn to them,
and many who have never kept them
begin to consider tho question of do
ing SO.
Varieties arc tho first point to be
thought of. Among these the Narragan-
sets, represented in the cut, are classed
as the most domestic. Favor is claimed
for them as strong and hardy stock, the
young turkeys being easily raised and
not subject to rs large percentage Of
loss in the early stages of raising as are
many breeds. They arc commonly de-
scribed as gray in color.
The Bronze arc also favorite kind,
being said to grow more rapidly, fatten
more quickly and weigh more than any
others.
Turkeys are fully grown at from three
to four years, but the young birds begin
to lay earlier in the season and lay more
eggs than the old ones, besides being less
savage.
AS the time is drawing near when our
national bird will be in demand for pur-
poses of family festivities and thankful
ness it will soon be in order for farmers
+. to put the fowls to be used or sold for this
purpose into O proper condition. No

turkeys ought to be confined for few
days previous to killing in limited quar-
tiers and receive plenty of good, whole
some food and pure water, and not be
left to forage for themselves on whatever
they can find, whether clean or unclean.
The effect of such a change Of diet for
few days, or weeks if n longer time is
required to put on tho right amount of
flesh and fat, will be juicy and well
favored birds fit for such feast. To bv
of the best the fowls must be young, for
no amount of care or feeding will make
tough old specimens suitable for such an
occasion. A mixture of meal and oats,
with boiled potatoes, in which should be

Turkeys have the name of being deli
safe and hard to rear, and in consequence
are often not kept when it might be done
to advantage. Undoubtedly there is
something in tho objections urged, and
turkeys cannot be grown satisfactorily on
damp soil; but with proper surroundings
they are raised with marked profit and
satisfaction.

An Augusta correspondent of the Lewis
ton Gazette alleges that the PRESS has de-
clared that prohibition is failure. We
have not the slightest objection to any of our
contemporaries holding US responsible for
any declaration we have made ON the SUBJ
iect Of prohibition. But we do object to
their putting words into our mouth. The
PRESS has not declared that prohibition is
failure, or said anything tantamount to such
declaration. That prohibition in the lar
ger cities of Maine has not suppressed the
rumshops to the extent that its friends hoped
1t would we have declared and declare again.
But that is something very different from de-
claring that prohibition is failure. There
are some four hundred towns and cities In
this State. In the great majority of them
the rumshop is unknown, largely because of
the effect of the prohibitory law. In half
dozen cities the rumshop does exist in spite
Of this law. A law that has suppressed the
liquor traffic in fiye-sixths of the State cannot
be pronounced failure because it has failed
to suppress it in the other sixth. Now as re-
CARDS the cities. We frankly admit that the
law has come far short of its purpose, name-
ly, the total extinction of the liquor traffic i'll
these places. But we assert ON the other
hand that it has accomplished as much in
that direction as any other policy would
have done. if not more. Suppose we had
license. Would there be any less rumshops
