A Golden Orchid.

Among great number of cypripedium
insigne received at st. Adams and ''es-
tablished'' Mr.. Sander noted one pres
emily of which the flower stalk was
yellow instead of brown, as is usual.
Sharp eyes are a valuable item of the
orchid growers stock in trade, for the
smallest popularity among such "sport-
i've" objects should not be neglected.
Carefully he put the yellow stalk aside
the only one among thousands, one
might say myriads, since cypripedium
insigne is one of our oldest and COM
monest orchids, and it never showed this
phenomenon before. In due course the
fioweropened and proved to be all golden.
Mr.. Sander cut his plant in two, sold half
for e75 to a favored customer and the
other half publicly for 100 guineas.-

Where Peanuts Grow.

In this country the good peanut states
are Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. The crop in a good year amounts
to about 100000 bushels or 10, ZOO, 600
pounds. having grown to these proper
lions from an output of less than 500, 00O
bushels in 1878. Arkansas and Kansas
are also peanut growing states. Califor-
mia produces a good crop, but the soil is
SO rich that the peanut grows large and
rank with shell SO thick that it seriously
affects the roasting process. The states
first named may therefore be considered
the sole producers of peanuts for the
market. So important has the peanut
become that in some sections of the three
states it is the principal crop and chief
reliance of the farmer.-St. Louis Post

In GuadaIatara.

1t rather staggers the North American
traveller in Peru to see the prettily uni
formed young women collecting fares on
the street railways, but when he visits
the second city in Mexico, Guadalajara,
and witnesses therefned courtesies prac-
ticed by the male conductors on the
street cars there he is completely para
lyzed. The manners of the Guadalaiaran
are in keeping with the cheerfulness and
friendliness of this city. Imagine your
self entering street car in New York.
or any city in the United States. and be-
fore taking your seat bowling, hat in
hand, to your fellow passengers, none of
whom you have ever seen before.
Then suppose yourself arrived at your
destination; you rise, smile a friendly
farewell to the car in general, shake
>hands with the conductor, and with a
polite inclination of the head take leave
of the driver. The number of times l
have witnessed such exhibitions Of polite
ness convince me that it is one of the
customs of the country. How much
more winning is the urbanity of these
delightful Guadalajarans than the su-
perhcial intellectually of the Boston
conductor, who corrects your pronuncia-
ton and completes quotation of
Browning when passengers memory
is at fault.-New York Tribune.

Music Among the Chinese,

Written music probably first began in
China. The principles of acoustics also
were first in existence in the celestial
empire. The full scale of chromatic
semitones was evolved by one of their
emperors 1900 years ago, yet the Chi
nese, actuated by that strange obliquity
which is characteristic of the nation. re-
ceived only FIVE of the twelve tones into
their scale, holding the other seven to be
female tones" and therefore useless.
The principle Of the monochord was
probably known to them, and in some
OF their instruments one can see the or
gan foreshadowed. OF harmony, or part
writing, however. the Chinese knew
nothing, and it is good inferential
proof of the non-existence of part music
among the ancient nations that the Chi
nese, in their ancient music books, speak
only of melody and seem to have dis
dained tone combinations, such as would
suggest the simplest chords. Boston

Gov Champaene Is N.,a..

Champagne is the finest of al wines
Notwithstanding the fact. there are not
many who know Just what it is. Il lisa
blend OF the different wines, and some
times from ten to fifteen wines are used.
One is chosen because of its flavor, while
it may be deficient in body. Another is
taken because of its body. BY the way,
body OF wine does not mean alcohol; it
signifies roundness or richness. Another
wine is put in for some other quality,
and SO on, making one grand combine
ton. When blended the combination is
called ''cuvee." After certain time
the cuvee is placed in bottles. and al
lowed to ferment for period of about
two years. The fermentation causes
sediment to be deposited and develops
carbonic acid gas, which is the life and
sparkle.
AT the end of two years the bottles are
placed "surpointe," or corks down, and
the sediment allowed to settle on the
cork During the two or three months
the bottles are surpointe each bottle is
shaken separately every day. Then
sklllful workmen release the cork, and
the sediment (which has become com
pact) and cork fly out together and only
little wine is lost. In place of the
wine that is lost small quantity of
slrup or liqueur is added to give neces-
sary sweetness. It is here that fraud.
If fraud there be, comes in.
In making the hqueur an opportunity
is afforded for favoring or increasing the
alcoholic strength of the wine. After
the strip is added the bottle is corked
with the most expensive corks that can
be bought. Following this process the
perfection of the wine depends upon the
quality of the cork. During the two
years of fermentation in bottle the break
age from pressure is sometimes great.

after it is blended.-Chicago Herald.

At the Truth Tellers, Cub.

+ When was in Maryland some years
ago I stopped at an old fashioned inn up
near Cumberland. You will perhaps
recollect that in the summer of 1882 we
had some horrible thunder storms. Have
/ ever told any of you this story before?
No: Well, put up at this inn one very
sultry day in August, just as the sun
was setting.
Shortly after we had retired storm
came up. The rain fell in torrents down
the hillside, rushing like mountain lakes
let loose, and then came the lightning
and the thunder. At the first clap
sprang from my bed toward the window.
The next flash revealed to me grand
old chestnut tree, rocked by the winds.
dripping with the rain, and grooming and
shrieking in terror of the storm. Then a
crash.
When came to they told me that the
old chestnut had been struck, and that
had been stunned. went down to see
the old chestnut. Many of its charred
limbs had been broken off and thrown
to the ground. I made startling dis
covery. 1t seems that in the old chest
nut many birds had built their nests.
The nests were all to be found scattered
about in the grass. There were eggs in
many of them. One Of the nests was
half filed with rain water, and in it were
an English sparrow's three eggs. /
picked up one of them and broke it. 1t
had been boiled hard.
Near by found another egg. It had
been blown out of nest, and in falling
through the rain water had broken and
the lightning had poached it. Not six
inches away lay mother bird, roasted
to turn, and in her mouth bit of
bread, toasted by the heat of the light
ming. The next morning when 1 took
my cold bath found on my chest per-
feet picture of the old chestnut tree. of
the boiling eggs, of the poached egg and
of the roast bird with the bit of bread,
from which could even make out the
smoke and smell the bread toasting
and the eggs cooking. New York Even

Pie TOR SIXTEEN IN LONDON.


An Aasrican Traveller In Place That
Fascinated Dickens.
There is a pie shop in London that
Charles Dickens used to stand before
when as child he drudged in black
ing factory. Every day, on his way to
and from work, he paused to devour the
viands with his eyes, and sometimes, as
he said, he pressed his tongue to the
window panes, as if by doing that he
got little bit of taste Of the good
things that lay so near, yet were SO far
beyond his reach. An American rail
road man who admires Dickens hunted
up this pie shop when he was in London
in order to crafty sentiment and curl
osity, It proved to be mere box of a
place, in a poor quarter of the city, but
the original business was still conducted
there, and pastry of doubtful aspect and
uncertain age still occupied the window.
AS the traveller peered into the shadowy
interior voice piped at his elbow,
"Please, sir, will you buy me veal
pie?"
The owner of the voice was a small,
disheveled person. with whom q veal pie
or any other kind would have agreed
right well, and he made his request from
motives of undoubted and strenuous per-
sonal interest. The American replied,
as Americans do sometimes, with another
question:
''How many boys do you suppose that
shop could holdy'
II dunno About fifteen or sixteen. /
should think"
well. you go and get fifteen more
boys and bring them back here"
The boy studied the mans face for a
moment as if to make sure he was in
the enjoyment of his senses, then hurled
himself into a side street with a yell
Hardly minute elapsed before he re-
turned. the head of procession Of six
teen gamins, assorted as to size and
clothing, unanimous in appetite and
hope. This ragged battalion assembled
close behind the benefactor, and followed
him precipitately into the shop when he
announced that he was going to give
them all the pie they wanted
For a quarter of an hour the aston
ished baker served "weal an am pies,
hand over hand, to the sixteen aston
ished youth of London, while the Amer
lean sat down and watched the scene
with hardly less establishment. Few
words were spoken. and the onslaught
was as fierce and persistent while it last
ed as the charge at Tel-el-Kebir. The
exhaustion of supplies brought the ban
quet to an end, and the traveller paid
the score, thinking it little to pay, in
view of tho fun he had had, while the
boys tumbled into the street, cheering
feebly on account of their gorged condi.
ton, and went to spread the news OF
this miracle through the lanes of Lon
don.-New York Sun.

We sit together in the pew,
Drawn from the week day world away:
The lesson o'er, the sermon through,
Close side by side we kneel to pray.
Then rise, as loud from pipe and reed
The swelling organ notes ascend.
And banded maiden voices lead
The music onward to the end
Low bending near, hold her book,
Though little Iced pay to it;
Her voice, a timid warblicg brook,
Lures all my thoughts away to it:
Above all Others, One is known
Who well deserves the name of Friend;
Beyond a brothers. love is shown
His love, free costly, without end
Sweet is that sweeping choral tide.
And throbbing sweet those organ chords:
But sweeter far than all beside
Sound Lucy's gentle sainted words:
Pitchedsoft and meek, her trustful tone
Gives to my life nobler trend
above all others, One is known
Who well deserves the name Of Friend
The people next us do not hear
The burden Of that still small voice;
And yet it bids me plain and clear
T0make this childlike soul my choice
And sudden warnings rise intense.

may become-her more than friend

Medicinal Property of CLAIMS.

l call to mind remarkable instance
of the efficacy of clans as curative of
internal disorders. A young woman we'll
known in the theatrical profession some
years ago came home to the metropolis
to die, she having contracted gastric
trouble while sojourning in the tropics.
AT the time Of her arrival home in New
York she was fearfully emaciated and
could not even digest Liebig's extracts.
All she could seem to assimilate at all
was the juice she could suck from very
rare broiled beef. To condense my story.
her people were persuaded to let her

that she was very fond of those bivalves,
and through judicious nursing in time
she recovered her health. and always at
tributed it, in great part, to the clans.
