How Gourds Climb.

The way the gourds climb is by
means of spiral, curlod tendri' J, which
are in realty small abortive stipules or
leaf-appendages, spcciaiized for the
work of c.inging to the external object,
be it bough or stem of some other
plant, over which the beautiful para
site rapidly spreads itself. The ten
drills push themselves out on every side,
revolving as they go, till they reach
some slender twig or leaf-stalk to
which they can attach themselves. 1t
is curious and interes ting to watch them
80 they grow. and to see how closely
their movements simulate Intelligent
action. Tho little curlcd whorls 90
feeling about on every side for suita-
bic foothold, cropping blindly, as it
were, in search of support, and re-
volving slowly in wide-sweeping curves,
until at last they happen to lay hold
with their growing end of a proper OBJ
ject. Once found, they seem to seize
it eagerly with their little fingers (for
in the gourd the tendrils are branched,
not simple, and to wrap it round at
once many times over in their tight en-
brace. It is won derlul how far they
will go up out of their way in their
cropping quest of proper foothold, and
how, when at length they stumble upon
it, they will look for all the world as if
they had known beforehand exactly
when and where to scar CHI for it. These
actions come far closer to intelligence
than most people imagine; they are de-
liberately performed in responsive an
swer to external stimuli, and only take
place when the right conditions com
bine to excite them. Popular Science

Ynrnish for Turkey Legs.

When the average householder, or hiA
cook, who proceeds to the Paris mar
kets for domestic provender is offered
embalmed geese, turkeys with painted
legs, and diseased chickens, instead OF
healthy and untainted poultry, it is
time, says the London Telegraph, fol
the police to interfere, in the interest
of the public. Recent researches have
shown that considerable trade is done
in diseased fowl in all the Paris mar
kets, and short time ago q nrawny
fort de la Halle, or market porter, died
from blood-poisoning, caused, as the
doctors inferred, by the bite Of large
insect which had been battening on
some turkeys. The practice OF embalm-
ing fowl or dressing up long demised
birds so as to make them look fresh Is
Of comparatively modern origin, but
that of pain ting tho legs of turkeys IS
as old as the days of Privat d'Angle-
mont The first person in the field in
this department of industry was Pere
Chapellicr, who made little fortune
out of it. He noticed that the legs Of
turkeys were brilliantly black for one
day after they had been killed, and that
then they became OF dusky brown
color. He accordingly invented a PEE
culiar kind of varnish, the secret of
which he sold with profit on retiring
from business, and with this he touched
up tho legs Of the birds which remained
unsold for any considerable period Of
time. His services were requisitioncd
in every market, and the effect Of his
varnish was so conclusive that it de-
ceived the most experienced cooks and
housekcepera, who often bought painted
turkeys in preference to birds OF the
same species which had been newly
killed 1t would be we'll il the poul-
try purveyors Of the present day con-
fined themselves to this comparatively
pious fraud.

Treading for CLAIMS.

The farmers of part of Fairfield Co.,
Conn, are harvesting one of the largest
hay crops that most of them ever saw,
and they are pushing the work with all
possible rapidity in order that they may
get day off and ego down to salt
that is, spend a day on the shore of the
Sound or OH one OF the islands that dot
the entrance to Norwalk harbor. Every
morning for perhaps a month there will
be a procession of country wagons
through the streets of Norwalk. The
farmer bitches his best team to his
largest wagon, and loads into it not only
his wife and children but those of his
neighbors who have no turnout of theil
own.
Arriving at the shore they make prep
arations to "tread for CLANS. The men
remove their boots and stockings, put
on pair of old trousers, and walk down
the sloping beach when the tide is low.
The women do likewise, except as to
trousers. The festive round clam nestles
in the mud all along the shore, waiting
patiently to be caught, and the hunters
wade along, sometimes in water up to
their armpits, feeling for the clans with

UP to or above the waist, it is something
Of a trick to bring the clam to the sur
face without going entirely under water
after it. Some parties use a long han
died rake, but the experts, when they
note the presence Of clam, seize it with
their toes after the fashion of the arm
less man in the circus, and with pc
culiar. kicking motion raise it to the sur
face of the water, from whence it is
transferred to the bag which is carried
over the left shoulder.
When tue tide gets high the work
ceases, and all hands seek the shore.
There, on a fiat rock, and within the
confines of the old wagon-wheel tire, the
clans are placed, hinge up, and upon
them a fire Of light brush is started. In
twenty minutes the hot Goals are swept
of, the steaming clans are transferred
TO plates, aud the party enjoys feast ~

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

The Baltimore, Md, Manufacturers
Record presents special statistics as to
the development of the railroad interests
Of the South during the last eight years.
In 1880 the South had 20,612 miles of
railroad, costing without equipment
5000, 800, 600, while at the present time
it has 80, 600 miles, costing 81, 400, 600,
900, gain of 10, 900 miles in track and
$570, 600, 900 in the amount invested in
railroads. The growth of the iron inter
ests has marked effect in stimulating
railroad construction, and next year the
South will make 1900 900 tons of pig
iron, against 397, 3O1 tons in 1880. Tie
traffic in coke, ore and iron developments
by this business will furnish Southern
railroads in 1889 over 12, 200, 900 tons of
freight, which is equal to the wheat crop
IF the country, and seven times as great
rs the cotton.

A Great Alaska Glacier

The glacier enters the sea with a gi-

above the water and mile WIDE Fam
cy wall Of blue ice splintered into
columns, spires and huge crystal masses
with grottoes, crevices and recesses
higher than Bunker Hill monument and
a mile in width 1t is spectacle that
is strangely beautiful in its variety Of
form and depth Of color, and at the
same time awful in its grandeur.
And not alone is the sight awe in
spring. The ice mountain is almost
constantly breaking to pieces
with sounds that resem BILE the discharge
of heavy guns or the rever berations Of
thunder. AT times an almost deafening
report is heard, or a succession Of them
like the belching of whole park Of ar
tillery, when no outward effect is seem.
1t is the breaking apart Of great masses
of ice within the glacier. Then some
hugo berg topples over with roar and
gigantic splash that may be heard seve-
raj miles, the waters being thrown aIoft
like smoke.
A great pinnacle Office isseen bobbing
about in wicked fashion, perchauce
turning somersault in the flood before
