Ever the Same.

When Commodore Billings and Mr..
Main we're on the river Kahima they
had for attendant a young man from
Kanoga, an island between Kamschat-
ka and North America. One day Mr..
Main asked him, "What will the saw
ages do to me If l fall into their
power"
"Sir," said the youth, ''you will
never fall into their power if / remain
with you. | always carry sharp
knife, and if see you pursued and I'M
able to escape l will plunge my knife
into your heart, then the savages can
do nothing to you"
This recalls the words of the French
knight reported by Joinville. Swear
to me-" said Queen Margaret, that il
the Saracens become masters of Dam
ietta you will cut off my head before
they can take me-"
Willingly" returned the knight.

A Sorrow of DR.. chapin,s Last DAYS.

A Sorrow of DIR. Chapin's Last Days.
A prominent clergyman speaking Of
the relations existing between clergy
men, told me the following astonishing
anecdote. He said that no clergyman
who has ever been pastor of a New
York church was more popular, in his
day more famous, orhad a wider repute
as pulpit orator and public speaker
than DIR. Edwin Chaplin. Chaplin was
q Universalist, and Horace Greeley was
one of his parishioners.
DIR. Chaplin was smitten with NOR
tai disease, and it was publicly an
nounced in the newspapers. He had
some heart trouble, which did not pre-
vent friends from seeing him, but it
was known it would end his life in a
brief time. He had been sick for some
five weeks, when one day the Rev. DIR.
Arrnitage called. He was shown into
Chapin's room and found the distin-
guished clergyman lying upon q sofa.
When he saw Armitage he burst into
tears and DR.. Armitage was surprised.
Chaplin said: Doctor, / can't help
these tears, but they express gladness
rather than sorrow Doyou know that
you are the first clergyman of all those
who have professed friendship for me
who hoe oa1In5 IN coo mo IN ovvaY1 cont n
message of sympathy to me in my i'll
ness. Not a single clergyman has been
so considerate, and | tell you it has
been a bitter sorrow to me at this
time"
Two days later this great orator was
dead, and the only religious ministra
ton or sympathetic call he had during
his final illness was that of this Baptist
clergyman.-New York Cor. Philadel

A Warmly Gather Dessert.

A caramel pudding, or as it is some
Zines called, creme Il la Versailles, is
an excellent dessert for a warm Sun
day, and can be prepared the day be-
fore and set away in the refrigerator.
Beat six eggs with siS tablespoonful
of sugar and a scant teaspoonful Of
salt. Add gradually, beating all the
time, quart of milk. Flavor with the
grated peel of half lemon a teaspoon
full of extract of vanilla, or two table
spoonfuls of sherry. Bake in a but
tered mold set into a pan of boiling
water until it is solid, from half to
three-quarters of an hour. When you
can stick the handle of a spoon into the
center and bring it out with no custard
sticking to it it is done. Set it away to
cool in the mold. For the sauce melt
cup of granualated sugar in a small
saucepan, stirring it all the time.
When it is dark brown in color and
quite liquid pour in a coffee cupof boil
ing water, still stirring. When it is en-
tirely mixed set it on the side Of
the range and let it simmer if
teen minutes When the pudding and
sauce are both quite cold or just be-
fore serving turn out the custard care
fully into a glass dish and pour the
sauce around tn. Y. Tribune.

CraZy.ClOth Scarfs.

There is a material sold in the dry
goods stores called crazy-cloth, or cot
ton crepe. 1t comes in white, yellow,
pale blue, and pink. Any of these
shades can be used for scarfs to throw
over the back of a chair, around pic
ture-frame or easel, or drapery for a
mantel. Cut the length you wish the
scarf to be--a yard and half or two
yards-and hem it on all four sides
with a hem an inch wide. Above the
hem draw out four or five threads all
around. If you can draw well enough
draw in outline branch of leaves, or
get a pattern stamped at some fancy
store. Outline over the drawing with
colored silk or cotton in color that
will look we'll with the color of the
cloth. The pattern need be only on one
end, but may be on both. 1t may be as
elaborate as you may care to make it,
or very simple design. -Harper's
Young People.

The body of the female is notccabiy
more robust than the male; especially
the abdomen, which is distended some
what by the eggs which are BENG
matured The end of the abdomen is
ovoid, acute, the tip not provided with
so large tuft of thick hairs as is that
of the male The abdomen of the male,
tapering more gradually, is slightly
longer, of less diameter, and more cylin-
drical.
When feeding or ovipositing, the
flight of the moth is much slower than
when flying long distances. The moth
approaches flower or gland, often
steadying itself with the fore legs in
any case futtering its wings rapidly,
with an antenna in constant motion.
Sometimes they alight to sip sweets, or
perhaps to rest; in either case the wings
are not closed upon the body, but are
partially spread and elevated. leaving
bare the abdomen. If, however, the
moth alights to hide, the wings arc
folded closely down upon the body.
Much the same fight is observed in the
female when ovipositing, sometimes
alighting to do so, but usually only
| steadying herself with the fore legs
In the act of oviposition, the abdomen
is bent forward sickle-shaped, bring
ing the apex squarely upon the surface
to be deposited on. The time occupied
in depositing an egg in this manner is
equivalent to the time it requires to
count three or four slowly. At this
rate, and in the interval of flying about
from plant to plant, some half dozen
eggs are deposited, when the moth is
seen to fly away. SO far as can be de-
termined these intervening flights are
for the purpose of feeding and rest
from labor.
Though the habits of the boll-worm
and they are principally so, yet its
diurnal habits are perhaps Of greater
Importance than has hitherto been sup
posed. During continued daily observa-
tons on the boll-worm in the field the
moth was frequently seen flying about,
and at times observed to feed. Upon
closer observation it was found that on
pleasant sunshiny afternoons the moths
flew about quite plentifully, feeding
freely during their flight. Often while
standing in patch of cow-peas, from
about 3 p. M, have | observed the
moths, without any previous disturb
ance, rise here and there, fly about The
pea blossoms or the glands at the base
of the younger pods, sip their exuda-
tions for few minutes at time and
then fly away a short distance, alight to
rest and hide. In the carly part Of the
afternoon the length of their visits to
the pea blossoms are short and the time
of their hiding longer than later. About
to p. M, when the sun is yet quite
high, the moths begin to fly for a longer
time and their hidings are of shorter
duration.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

"BY GUM THAT'S So"
The City Boarder Was Able to Give Points
to the Pike County Farmer.

The City Boarder Was Able to Give Points
to the Pike County Farmer.
Two young men in Pike county have
stony, and with no pasture land on any
foot of it, Their three cows were
turned out daily to pick up living in
the vast thinly-populated country
The biggest COW wore brass bell with
discordant note about it's neck, and
the other two, either from love of this
note or for the sake of the society of
the big COW, kept close to her. Every
evening one of the men had to grid up
his loins and start out in the wilds in
search of the cows. Sometimes they
were not seen for several days
No matter whether they were found
or not the farmers always come home
after these searches for them wet and
exhausted and complaining loudly at
the necessity of this labor after hard
days work. After this had been going
on during all the seasons for several
years city boarder gave the subject
some thought. Wouldn't the cows
come home every night of their own
accord if you made practice of giving
them at sunset Il little mess of feed?"
he said.
"By gum That's so. l never thought
of that" was the reply.
The scheme was tried, and there
after, just as evening came on, the big
COW, with her two companions follow
ing after, came winding slowly into
the barnyard with expectant express
sions on their faces.
Near the home of these same farmers
stood the weather-stained remains of a
ruined mill that had outlived it's useful
ness many years ago. The ruins were

lengthy discussions as to how they

wreck. This would involve an outlay
of money which the farmers. could un-

After they had talked over the mat
ter for many years they explained it to
the city boarder, and promised him
that as soon as they could afford it the
old mill would be moved.
Don't wait for the money" said the
city boarder. The first time the wind
is blowing south put match to it."
by gum! that's so" exclaimed the
farmers in chorus, slapping their legs
A few nights later the mill went up
in flames and down in ashes.-N. Y

A Cows Mother-Loye.

In pasture on farm in East Hart
ford, recently, one of the cows had a
calf which no one of the farm hands
was able to find the day after it's birth.
A search proved a failure until some
one suggested novel scheme. 1t was
to bring a dog into the lot, when, in all
probability, the COW would return to
her calf to defend it. The dog was
brought. and. sure enough, the cow
started for a clump of bushes, and
among them the calf was found, where
the leaves had concealed it.-Hartford

MATERIAL FOR MIGHTY ARMIES
The Gigantic Forces Which May Yet Fac
Each Other In Europe.

The Gigantic Forces Which May Yet Fac,
Each Other In Europe.
The United States, which admittedly
does everything on large scale, gave
proof during the late domestic war OF
what it could do in the way of placing
vast armies in the field, hundreds OF
thousands upon either side. The shock
OF these enormous forces when only
parts of them were thrown together
upon occasions between the beginning
and the end of the struggle was felt all
the world over and excited the interest
of military leaders everywhere. But
since 1865 many and important changes
have occurred in the art of war, chief
among them being the substitution OF
new arms and ammunition for the old.
Military invention has sought to rem
der protracted wars and many battles
impossible; they must necessarily,
under the new order of things, be
short, sharp and decisive-except posi-.
bly, in country of such vast resources
and extent of territory as ours.
Since 1871, when the Franco-Prussian
war came to an end, the great con-
tinental nations of Europe have been
preparing for what is feared will be a
general struggle. 1t is not only new
tactics, new weapons and new powoer
they have invented, but those interest.
ed have set up new positions of offense
and defense, and especially have they
effected means to place enormous hosts
in the field at short notice, and to
quickly transport them from place to
place. Almost first in the plans of Rus
STA, Germany, Austria, France and
Italy is the system of strategical rail
roads.
With their preparations far advanced
or completed, it is evident that the late
federal and confederate armies of the
United States would make but meagel
show compared with the forces that the
countries Of the continent could bring
into the field. An English military
writer sets down the population O
Russia in round numbers at 100, 900, 900
one-sixth, or 10000, 600, Of which, it i:
/. stated, can be, first and last, drafted
into the army. That however, is al
"a extravaganza claim. Assuming tina
France should be Russia's ally, in thu
event Of war, as it is likely she would
be, she has population of 40, 900, 600, o
5000, 900 men fit for soldiers. Togethe
these two countries might have mill
tary contingent of, say, 20, 100000 iron
which it would be practicable t.
promptly recruit force of from 5000,
900 to 5000 000
On the other side there would be Ger
many, Austria and Italy, whose aggre
gate population approximates to tina
of Russia To these there might bt
added the 10000, 900 of Turkey, ant
finally the 100000 of Great Britain
and Ireland. From these combined
populations there could be drawn, it is
estimated, armies as large or larger
than those of Russia and France. 1t i:
difficult to imagine such gigantic force:
opposed to each other, and of course
they would not be so opposed in any
single battle, but their enormous pro
portions suggest how great number o
men could be brought face to face OF
different sides in armed contention
should that European war of which 81
much is said at intervals ever occur

will open Wednesday, September 2, and
close October II.
The past history of this great industrial
Exposition is one of Interstate pride, and
its marked success for the past seven years

varied exhibits of the Arts, Mechanics and
Sciences. The departments will have dis
plays from every line of industry and bust
cess. The Art Department will have the
best examples, to which will be added a
fine collection of oriental musical instru.
ments, lacquers, worries, and other works OF
merit from China and Japan.
Gilmore's celebrated band will be in at
tendance each day, and furnish music in
