Beautiful Cedar Doors.

There were recently received at Mill
brook, Dutchess county, N Y, a couple
of cedar doors purchased in Mexico by
Mrs. Hays, and supposed to be several
centuries old. The doors, which are to
be placed in a mansion which Mrs. Hays
is erecting at Millbrook, were taken from
an old Catholic monastery in Mexico.
Each door is four feet by eight feet in
size, and four inches thick, and their
weight is 800 pounds each. The stiles
and rails are worked from solid wood, and
are fastened with wooden nails. There
were probably no hinges when these
been hung on a pivot. The wood carving
is plain and deep, and one door bears q
fine specimen OF the art in the form Of a
cross of leaves. These relics were pur-
chased by Mrs. Hays during a recent tour
through Observation-Disclosures

Handy without Hands.

There died recently at Waldenburg, in
Silesia, the well known pedalian artistic,
Augusta Hartwig, aged twenty-six. She
was born with deformed hands, SO that in
her early school days she had begun TO
use her feet in the performance of the
varied tasks for which the hands are gen
orally employed. Augusta Hartwig not
only wrote a capital ''hand' with her
feet, but she could knit, crochet and sew
with surprising dexterity, and, what is
still more wonderful, she played in a mas
terly manner on the piano and the either,
for both of which instruments she dis
played an extraordinary talent. The
pool cripple was thus enabled to main
tain her parents, who are now left to
mourn the loss of their chief support

Lemonade is Good.

- 00CAF
Lemonade made from the juice of the
lemon is one of the best and safest
drinks for any person, whether in health
or not. 1t is suitable for all stomach
diseases, excellent in sickness, in cases
of iaundice, gravel, liver complaint, in
Illumination of the bowels and fevers. 1t
is a specific against worms and skin COM
plants, The pippin crushed may be
used with sugar and water and taken as
a drink. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. 1t not only
| cures the disease, but prevents it. Sail
ors make daily use of it for this pur-
pose. We advise every one to rub their
| gums with lemon juice to keep them in
a healthy condition. The hands and
nails are also kept clean, white, soft and
supple by the daily use of lemon instead
of soap. 1t also prevents chilblains.
Lemon IS used in intermittent fevers,
mixed with strong, hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia, it is said,
may be cured by rubbing the part af-
fected with a cut lemon. 1t is valuable
also to cure warts. 1t will remove dan
! druff by rubbing the roots of the hair
with it. 1t will alleviate and finally
cure coughs and colds and heal diseased
lungs, if taken hot on going to bed at
night. Its uses are manifold, n the
more we employ it internelly the better
we shall find ourselves. A doctor in
Rome is trying it experimentally in
malarial fevers with great success, and
thinks that it will in time supersede
quinine.-Rehoboth Herald.

She Wanted No Tricks.

5hO tlhbC y
A prominent physician of Louisville
had q startling and rather amusing ex-
perience recently. AT least it was anus
ing to all but the doctor. He had been
summoned to treat a little boy who was
suffering from a physical malformation
or affection, the cure for which lay
neither in medicine nor the surgeons
knife. Its only successful treatment
simply consisted in catching the patient
by the heels and suddenly turning him q
complete somersault. The boys mother
was in the room when the physician
made the examination, and without in
forming her OF his purpose he suddenly
reached forward and in less time than 1T
takes to tell it the little fellow was turn
ing a fiipfiap in the air that would have
done credit to an expert acrobat. But
the doctor had hardly time to s~traighten
himself from the stopping posture he as
sumed in order to reach the kids heels
than the mother, a 200-pound German
woman, swung her good right arm, ana
with a blow powerful enough to start
circulation in a corpse, landed him one
behind the ear that sent him the entire
length of the room. As soon as the doc
tor recovered consciousness he explained
his action to the good woman and showed
her that her little one was cured, where
upon she apologiZed very sweetly. That
has been several weeks ago, but the doc
tor still hears the rumbling of thunder in
his ear produced by that blow.-Louis-
Uille Post.

OUR hebetudinous (by request

strong again. He says
The walloping that Grover Cleveland got at
the hands of his countrymen but a short time ago
has not taught him anything.
He has just sent out another wild yawp for
free trade and can be depended upon to keep it
up. Grover doesn't profit by experience, and in
this he resembles his party.
Our friend should read the news
papers. He would find out, first, that
a large majority of his fellow country
men endorsed Grover Cleveland and
the Democratic party with their votes,
and that Mr.. Cleveland vas only de-
feated through our electoral system.
He would find out also that Mr.. Cleve-
land does not advocate free trade in

trosities of the present absurd tariff
should be abolished.

A Japanese tattooer of great skill and
reputation has just opened a studio in
Hong Kong. He receives his visitors in
a small office full of fans, screens, topsy-
turvey pictures and sharp corners. On a
big table in the middle of the room are
pattern books. The visitor tells whether
he wishes a humorous, pathetic, Senti-
mental or religious emblem tattooed on
his person, and, according to his answel,
receives a volume of pathetic, sentiment
tai or religious designs for examination.
Most persons choose none of these de-
signs because they are too expensive.
The tattooing with representations of ami
mails is the cheapest and the most popu-
lar. A butterfly costs but 81; three but
~terfies, {. $50; five butterflies, $. A
dragon, the most expensive animal,
costs S25.
After the customer has chosen his de-
sign, the t~attooer leads him into the oper-
ating room, over the door OF which hangs
the notice:-'I never work while / am
drunk" The customer lies on q couch
and bares the limb on which the design is
to be done. The operator then pricks in
the skin with fine needles the lines of the
animal or scene ordered. He applies a
little colored powder and a pinch of yasel-
inc to the spot he has pricked, and the job
is done. He car prick three butterflies in
about forty minutes. The execution of a
big dragon, however, occupies five hours
A day or two after the operation the skin
above the design comes off and all the
lines become clear.
The masterpiece of the Japanese tat
tooer is the representation of q little fan
covered with human figures. This bit OF
tattooing adorns the fore arms of a young
English woman in Hong Kong. The OPP
orator himself hasn't an unadorned square
inch of skin on his body. Snakes, birds,
cattle, women picnics, dinner parties and
steamships in wild hodgepodge cover his

USES OF INSECTS.
New Theories Advanced by PrOmincn
New Jersey EntomolOgist.


New Jersey EntomOlOgist.
George D. Hulst, entomologist of the
New Jersey Experiment Station, holds
to the opinion that injurious insects
after all are not an unmitigated evil.
They make production a little more
laborious, he says, and add to the
chances of financial success for the
careful man. We have yet much to
learn about insects, and how to deal
with them; but we are advancing. A
knowledge of the life history of every
insect is needed in order to show us at
what stage of its existence-egg, worm
or caterpillar, chrysalis and perfect
inseet-we can take it at its great
est disadvantage. Of poisonous
remedies the arsenical prepara-
tons answer the purpose for leaf-eaters
in almost every instance. Kerosene and
pyrethrum kill by contact. A mixture
of the two kinds, however, Paris green
or London purple with kerosene emul-
sion or pyrethrum, secure two chances
to kill, and will be found most effective
in many cases.
Mr.. Hulst also states that we need
stricter laws, or stricter enforcement
of existing laws, against the destruction
of birds The demands for material
for decorating female head-gear have
done more to strip the country OF our
song birds than the QuarrelSOme nature
of the English sparrow. Among useful
insect-eaters Mr.. Hulst names tOads,
snakes, moles, the latter the only ene-
my that preys upon the rose-beetle
when in the larvaL state. People should
begin to fight insects at their first ap-
pearance, and not wait until they have
grown numerous and destructive

THE SILENT TOWERS.
Where FlOcks of Vultures and Ravens
Dwell Among the Dead.

Where FIOcks of VuItures and Ravens
Dwell Among the Dead.
One of the most remarkable customs
of the Parsees is their method of dis
posing of the dead. On the rocky
crest of Malabar Hill, from whence
the admiring beholder looks down on
a magnificent panorama of city, sea
and bay, the Parsees own beautiful
plot of ground, which is ornamented
with lofty palms and Towering plants,
In this garden or cemetery stands the
Dakhma, or Tower of Silence"
The interior of this structure is
divided into three circular or concen-
trio chambers, each of which is in turn
divided into numerous smaller cham
bers. The inner circle is for the
bodies of children, the next for the
women and the outer circle for the
men. When corpse is brought to
the cemetery by the rel atives it is re-
ceived by attendants, clad in white
robes, and, amid the chanting Of
priests, is placed in one of the COM
partments of the Dakhma.
Almost Immediately the "holy birds
of Ormuzd," the sedate vultures
perched on the Palmyra palms in the
cemetery, swOOp down into the open
tower, and in a few minutes devour
the flesh of the dead body. Swarms of
ravens follow and voraciously swallow
the remnants of this feast. Later the
bleached bones are gathered into a re-
ceptacle under the tower. To most
Europeans this is a horrible mode of
sepulture; but, as collating zoologist, l
confess / think the swift destruction of
dead body by vigorous birds of prey
or by fire, as with the Hindus, more
aesthetic and poetical than the slow,
wasting, worm-eating corruption of the
grave-a method that is just as revolt
ing as that of the Parsees. 1t is in OPP
position to sanitary laws, and is often
the source of disease. It'd

AROUND LAKE CHELAN.
A Beautiful Resort in the Wilds of WASH
ingtOn Territory.

Beautiful Resort in the Wilds of WASH
ingtOn Territory.
Lake Chelan is sixty-five miles in
length, running into the Cascades and
navig able to the Pierce river, its main
tributary. Pierce river is wild, tur-
bulent stream, heading in the mount
aims where the main tributaries of the
Skagit take their source, and being the
furthest west of any river emptying on
the Pacific slope. The country imme-
diately north of the head of Lake Che
Ian is open, comprising a considerable
area of bottom land in the valley of
the Pierce river. Some of the finest
cottonwood and cedar timber may be
found in this section, and valuable dis
coveries of gold and silver quartz have
been made on the summit of the Cas-
cades, the dividing line between OkanO-
gan and Skagit counties. The lodges
were found two years ago by parties
from the Sound, who came in from the
Skagit river, but the same parties now
go in by the Chelan route, which is
more accessible. About seven or eight
claims have been opened up and the
assessment work done this season.
Next year operations will be continued
on an extensive scale.
The wonderful glaciers of this COM
paratively unknown and untalked of
region will some day attract wide at
tention. During the warm weather it
is impossible to sleep in the neighbor-
hood of the glaciers, which extend
about ten miles east and west and
twenty-five or thirty miles north and
south. Peaks of green ice forty to fifty
feet in height tower heavenward and
present a magnificent spectacle. Here
the Cascades reach their widest and
highest range, being seventy-five
miles in breadth east and west
in what is known as the Saw
Tooth" range. Our informant tells
us that beautiful shells resembling
oyster and clam shells are found on
the highest mountains, and that there
are solid banks of gravel forty to fifty
feet through in this glacier country.
The country throughout teens with
large and small game, and there are
no such trout streams on the continent.
In Lake Chelan there are four or five
varieties of trout, and splendid speci-
mems running from eighteen to twenty
four inches may be caught by the
score in a few hours fishing. In the
near future, when a railroad has
crossed the Columbia at the mouth OF
the Ekanogan, Chelan and its neigh
boring glaciers will attract the atten-
ton of the tourist world, and another
great resort will be added to the far
famed attractions of Washington Ter
ritory. Spokane Outlook.
