Hand Spinning and Weaving.

First of all, to answer the question,
Does it pay? which is the average Eng
lishmen's first question. Iwant my pro-
ject to be, as all honest schemes ought to
be, self supporting; SO am glad to be
able to reply that it does pay, even in the
hard and fast commercial sense. | had
been mindful of a maxim of Mr.. How
ellis in one of his books, Before you learn
to do thing, pray be sure people want
it." find people do want the Langdale
linen, for without advertising or public

land for many hundreds of yards And
it pays, too, in coin current in another
kingdom than this; pays hundred fold
in the glad, uncounted treasure of bright
ened homes and hearths made happy
with sweet and honest labor.

vest of pleasant sights and sounds. 1t
gladdens me greatly to pass cottage
door and to hear from within the soft
murmur of the wheel. Once too, on a
wild November day, l saw a strange,
weird vision of the Fates, not Narcissus
crowned, but here alive before me as
three Westmoreland women. Little did
the three spinsters think as they drew
and cut the tangled thread from the dis
taft that they were setting forth in
homely fashion under the crags of

and death preached centuries ago under
the olive groves of Greece-Albert

Street Cars in the City of Mexico.

While the principal cities of this coun-
try are no doubt very favorable places
for street railway investors, vet in pro-
portion to their number and wealth the
people of the City of Mexico contribute
more, perhaps, to the support of their
horse cars than those of any other city.
Nobody seems to walk there who can
scrape together enough to ride. Mules
are the motive power, and these thin
beasts gallop along at reckless pace
under constant flashing from their driver.
There are first, second and third class
cars, which vary in price from a real
about IL cents down to 2 cents. The
first class coaches are about as comfort
able as the Broadway cars of New York.
The second class cars have small win
dows near the roof without glass, a
bench running lengthwise along either
wall, and another without back down
the center. Third class cars carry freight
and Indians indiscriminately. One road
which extends far out of the city to the
principal cemetery, runs funeral cars
draped in mourning, and does big bus
mess in funerals.
AS all the lines meet at the principal
square Of the city, the mourning coaches
can be switched off to any part of the
town. At the cemetery they are side
tracked to await the return of the fune-
raj party.-Street Railway Journal.

Reptiles as Curiosities.

You would scarcely suppose thatsuch
things as tarantulas, centipedes and
ella monsters had market value, vet
they are quoted as regularly by curl
osity dealers as feather work, grasses,
etc. People collect everything, and
there IS always demand for the ami
mails and reptiles named. A good
specimen of the tarantula or centipede,
alive or mounted, brings 81. Live
specimens are sent in boxes, only by
express, as they are not allowed to 90
by mail. Stuffed specimens are or
dered for collection, but l cannot
imagine why the live ones are wanted.
Quite trade is done in them, how
ever, through the curiosity shops of
the country, which order from the
stores in Mexico or on the border.
What is more surprising is the sale
that exists for ella monsters. Zoolog-
ical gardens want them, of course, but
there are private parties who also Or
der them. Fine specimens bring from
SIS to $40. They come from Arizona,
where the Indians collect them for the
dealers. This is the most repulsive
looking reptile to be found in any part
OF the world.-St. Louis Globe Demo

A Maori Essay on the Ostrich.

The following copy of composition
of a New Zealand boy on the subject of
"What Do You Know About an Os-
trich?' was received by lady in this
city from friend in England who takes
an active part in missionary work:
''The ostrich is an African animal that
lives on sand and generally hunts on
horseback. The female makes a nest in
the sand, which is simply a deep hole,
and then the male lays in it ten or
twelve eggs, which he matches, for max
ing ornaments and for food for his fam
lily. These eggs chase their parent all
over the desert till he is quite tired, poor

form the motto 4 serve and thev belong
to the Prince of Wales, who is also fond
of these tail feathers. This ostrich is
often used for drinking cups and other
various amusements, but it is chiefly
valued for the beautiful feathers, which
are found on his legs-and those that
grow on the egg shell. "-Pittsburg Dis

New System of Building.

A very favorable account is given in
the French papers of the new system OF
building houses of iron and steel plates,
introduced into France by M. Danly,
manager Of the Societe DIES FORCES de
Chateleneau, who has set forth its vari-
GUS advantages with much practical de-
tail, attracting considerable attention to
the method. 1t has been satisfactorily
ascertained, it seems, that corrugated
sheets of such metal, of more than a
millimeter in thickness. are sufficiently
strong for building houses several stories
high, and the material, of course, allows
of a considerable variety of architectural
ornamentation.
The plates thus employed are of the
finest quality, and as they are galvanized
after having been cut to the sizes and
shapes required no portion isleft exposed
to the atmosphere. In addition to this
it is asserted that houses constructed in
such manner are very sanitary, and that
all ventilation and heating arrangements
can readily be carried out. In England
this system of building has found much
favor, the superiority of the new over
the old system consisting in the method
of corrugating and galvanizing the metal

Many or Few.

There is no cheerfulness in tlc
world comparable to that afforded
by the daily life of large family
There may be an equal amount of hap
piness in small family, there may
be a depth of bliss where only two
are together of which the life lived by
ten or dozen could afford no idea
but for the cheer of varied interests,
OF lively voices, of going and coming,
OF song and laughter, of mo ing fig
ures, of the sense of action and life,
what can be desired better than fam
lily where father and mother and
grandmother, aunts and children,
made the round dozena In a small
family it is difficult to keep up the
wide interest in people and neighbor
hood which does a great deal to pro
mote cheerfulness; it is difficult to
keep up such interest in more than a
very few, from the mere want of time,
from the difficulty of getting about,
and the impossibility of being in more
than one place at time, if from no
other reason. But where there are a
number of people under the roof, that
answers every purpose, as each one
bringing in keen feeling for the af.
fairs OF several other, the whole to-
gether maintain wide and deep con-
nection from which cheerfulness is
precipitated like a salt from it's COM
ponent gases. But, apart from the
cheer derived from intercourse and re-
latlonship with the outside multitude
by means of large family's varied &C
quaintance, comes that derived from
other sources in consequence of our
full circle.
This member of the large household
is the one devoted to charity; all the
rest do great deal of vicarious char
ity, as we may call it, through that
channel, and feel content with salts
lied consciences in a sense of duty
done, which sense, whether it con-
tributes to virtue or not, does, at any
rate, to cheerfulness, and it is cheer
fulness OF which we are speaking.
This other member is the student of
science, and out of the chance con-
versation, the books, plates, expert
ments, and experiences of this in
dividual the rest hive a sufficient
amount of scientific honey for their
own uses. and are enriched with learn
ing without the least exertion of their
own, receiving it, as it were, through
the pores. These others, again, do the
gay society business; and those of the
remainder who Ve quietly inclined go
to all the routes and drives and sails
in the gay ones enjoyment, see what
the bellies wear and how the beaux be-
have, and never have to leave their
tranquil corner at ALL And this last
one, with scraps of singing and scraps
OF piano playing, and mornings of
practicing and evenings of mirth,
YIELDS everything together in a sort
Of perpetual ringing of joy bells. In
short, in a large family the whole
world comes to every member of it,
and in small family only a narrow
segment of it can come.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

A News Industry in Russia.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of
The North British Mail says that dur
ing the last few months a new indus
try has sprung up in Russia in the
form of nicotine extract This pro
duct not only finds sale in Russia.
but is already b;ported in considerable
quantities, especially to South Amer
lea. The lees obtained, when prepar-
ing the tobacco leaf, have been used
for long time for destroying para
sites on plants, and they have also been
found etficacious when applied as an
antidot. to the various skin diseases to
which sheep are liable. 1t has now
however, been discovered that this pro-
duct affords remedy for another de-
structive agent-namely: the dry rot
among Sheppard last autumn the
Russian firm of Nikolai, Bogdanow &
Co. started works in Moscow for the
production of nicotine extract on a
large scale. Four to five pools
of common Machorka tobacco
yield only about one pood of
the extract, but in such a con-
centrated form that a teaspoonful
is sufficient for nearly two pints of
water, and the works produce about
SO pools of the extract per diem. The
Russian government has decided to
exempt this product from excise duty.
Any other uses to which this nicotine
may be applied, although not difficult
to imagine, have not yet TRANSFERRED.

Look Out for Short Bills.

A local business man has lately been
twice made the victim of a fraud that
is not common among crooks in the
'green." On presenting money at
the bank for deposit, he has had S.
bills returned as worthless because
they were too short.
On examination it was found that a
section from One-half of an inch to
one inch i'll width had been cut out of
the bills, and that the remaining sec
tons had been pasted together. The
illusion was increased in a way that
its very simplicity was doubtless the
reason of its success.
The letters taken from the words
Omitted States" by the section cut out
were cradely reprinted with pen and
ink on the shortened greenback, and
In the majority of cases the holder
would not detect the fraud unless the
bill were measured or held up to the
light, when the junction of the two
parts could be plainly seen.
The bills thus mutilated had had in
one case the letters ted" removed,
and in the others the letters ''st." The
object of the operator is finally to get
enough sections to make a new SIS
bill, which by skillful FASTING could
be easily passed under ordinary cir
cumstances. Springfield Republican.

The Turtles Shell His Castle.

One of the most amusing fights that
ever occurred in this neck of woods, and
which was witnessed by two hunters,
took place on the Warrior river between
blacksnake and a mud turtle. What
the casus bellum was is not known, but
the snake had wound itself around the
turtle, andewas trying to make some i'm
preston on its back with its fangs.
The turtle took things good naturally,
seemingly, and every once in while
would poke out his head to see if the
snake was looking. If the snakes head
was too close the turtle would draw him.
self back into the shell, and if the head
was far enough away the turtle would
seize his antagonist, and when the snake,
mad with pain, tried to revenge himself,
the turtle would go back in his shell.
This strange warfare was kept up for
several hours, when the turtle succeeded
in getting his antagonist by the throat
and nearly severed the head from the
body. Then, with the snake still wrap
ped around it, the turtle reached the
water and the dead snake foated off an
the surface. The turtle had been vic
torious.-Birmingham (Ala) Cor. St.

The SALVAGE. 4>4.ny IN Chicago.


Sunday morning a gentleman and his
wife, who had been staying over night
ut the house of North Side friend,
boarded one of Mr.. Yerkes' cable trains
for home, and were astonished to find a
section of the Salvation Army in pos
session of the car they entered. The sal
vationists, who were all elderly people,
were singing songs ahd praising the
Lord in their own peculiar way. The
gentleman had purchased Sunday pa
per, and, handing his wife the advertis-
ing supplement, he proceeded to scan the
news. Suddenly one of the elderly sal
vatiOnists, who wore a sorrel paint brush
on his chin, pumped into a seat beside
him and startled him with the remark:
"Do you know, my brother. that that is
an instrument of Satan" at the same
time pointing at the paper. The gentle
man shook his head and went ON read
ing. Then an elderly sister tried to call
him away from his Sunday reading. and
then platoon of the army assailed him
for the same purpose. Finally. in spite
of his wife's protests, he arose and de-
clared himself. ''LOok here" he said,
"I've read the Sunday papers for five
years and | don't intend to be stopped
now. If you don't leave me alone I'll

Emma Abbott's Husband.

The late" Eugene Irving Wetherell,
the husband of Emma Abbott, first saw
the singer when, as the travelling sales.
man OF a drug firm, he was forced to
spend night in a country town, and
went to the school house to hear g
musical entertainment. The principal
performer was Miss Abbott, who was
working her way to New York to OBJ
tain a musical education. She sold
her magnificent head of hair to meet
first expenses, and then with her ia
ther, the keeper of small music store
at Peoria, Ills, started for the metrop-
oils, giving concerts on the way,
wherever opportunity offered. Mr..
Wetherell afterward met Miss Abbott
when she was singing in Rev. DR..
Chapin's church in New York, and so
interested some rich men in her that
they sent her to Europe, where she af-
terward became the protege of the
Baroness Rothschild. The couple were
married in London fifteen years AGO.
and when Miss Abbott returned to this
country Wetherell became her bust
ness manager. He was most honor
able in all his transactions, and met
with great financial success He left
fortune estimated at over 81, 900. 900.
