Lack Of Trees Cause Of Famine.

An article in a leading Russian period
ical attributes the present distress in that
country the terrible famine, with the
inevitable pestience following in its
wake-very largely, although indirectly
to the wholesale forest destruction that
has been going on there during the
present century.
So far back as 1850 a report to the
Imperial Agricultural Society predicted
the present conditions unless the dc.
struction OF the forests was stopped.
"Our country is fiat" it said, "and, dc.
nuded of its trees, IS accessible to every
wind"
The terrible east wind meets with no
obstacle, and destruction follows in its
train. In this wind lies our fate, per-
haps to be encountered in the near fu-
ture.
The forest covering the uppsr aud
middle courses Of the rivers Volga, Don
and Dnieper have, in many sections, dis
appeared, and wasted plains spread in
their place. The rivers grow shallower
year by year, and the Vorskla, once an
abundant tributary of the Dnieper, aud
comparable to the Hudson or Delaware,
$50 miles in length, has completely and
permanently dried up.
Other important rivers are meeting the
same fate, so that the physical geography
of large part of the Empire is radically
changing. The rainfall is diminished,
and draught, Of course, results in fam
inc.
Isussia's folly aud sin are felt By the
rest of the civilized world, for her pow
erty-stricken hordes, driven to other
countries by famine aud persecution,
carry with them ignorance, disease and
lower standards of civilization. The
outlook is depressing.
The Russian Government is now MIX
ing an effort for forest preservation, but
it comes too late to remedy the vast evils
wrought. European Messenger.

inrs. However, when great attention IS
given, tapestries rivalling those OF the
State manufactures may be made. Au-
busson is town of about 1000 people.
The chief industry is that of tapestry
weaving. The Oldest factories were es-
tablished in the fifteenth century. Two
very different kinds of tapestry are here
manufactured, namely, the artistic kind,
used for armchairs, furniture hangings,
mural decorations, and the like, the
prices of which run from SIS to S1OO
per square metre, according to the shade
and fineness of designs. About 2OOc
workmen are occupied in the production,
at an average wage of eighty cents per
dsy. The other kind is ordinary tapes
try for floors, which are worth from
seveuty-fve cents to So per square metre.
These workmen do mechanical weaving
with jacquard frames, and the number
of workmen employed on this class OF
goods is 1900.
The artists employed by the French
State manufactures of tapestries receive
very high salaries, while those employed
at Aubusson by private manufactures
are not very we'll paid. The time re-
ouired to manufacture tapestry of or
binary dimensions at the Gobelins is, on
an average, three years; while at Au'
basson a few months are sufficient.

Exit the fashion of plushl We wore
mantles and cloaks of plush, we garnished
our bonnets and gowns with plush, aud
our drawing rooms broke out in curtains
and cushions OF the same rich fabric.
And then there came a day-that day
which always comes, alasl-when plush
had come down. Then our souls re-
volted. Homely serge replaced our
handsome draperies, and as for our per-
sons, they we're clad in velvet or
velveteen; in fact, in anything but plush.
Witness the result. Yet, as far as in-
trinsic beauty goes, could there be a
more beautiful fabric than good plush
It's durability also is far in advance of its
sisters, velvet and velveteen, but unless
skilfully managed it is apt to have
clumsy effect when worn. We had be-
gun to realize this when Mary Jane APP
reared in her Sunday best profusely
trimmed with the same said plush. That
decided us, aud for the last two or three
years plush has been placed on the Index
Expurgatorius, and there, until the wheel
of fashion turns round once more, it
seems likely to remain. New YorE

Th3 Sweat Sinllnl Nightingale.

The nightingale is European bird
which winters in Southern Spain and
Northern Africa, and il spring and
summer visits England and many of the
more northern parts of the Continent
In England its young are Matched in
June. During all the time the hen bird
is on the nest the male sings at intervals
during the day and also serenades his
mate in t be night while most other birds
are asleep. The nightingale's plumage
is dingy and homely, but his song is
something marvellous. Here Is what
Isaac Walton says Of it: "But the night
ingale. another of my airy creatures,
breathes such sweet, loud music out oil
her little instrumental throat TINT il
might make mankind to think that
miracles are not ceased. He that al
midnight, when the very laborer sleeps
securely, should hear, as l have very
often, the clear airs, the sweet descants,
the natural rising and falling, the doub-
ling and redoubling Of her voice, might
we'll be lifted above earth, and say,
Lord, what music hast Thou provided
for the saints in heaven when Thou sf-
fordest bad men such music on earth !
In its habit Of nocturnal singing the
nightingale is like the hooking bird Of
the South, which frequently pours out
its song in the middle of the night
especially when the moon is bright.-St.
Louis Republic.

WHERE COLUMBUS DIED.
The House stu Stands, Although
CrumblIng Into Decay.

The House stu Stands, Although
Crumbling Into Decay.
On the Gale de Colon, a dingy,
narrow old street in Vallad0lid,
about 200 yards long, stands the
house in which Columbus died,
although fast crumbling into decay.
The fact that 1t does stand is not
due to any effort taken for its
preservation, but rather to the solid
ity of its construction. 1t is Of con-
siderable size, and was, no doubt,
originally constructed for some per-
son of rank and position. The en-
trance is through a great Norman
archway Of stone, and the entrance
hall is spacious, while the staircase
is broad and its incline so gentle,
that one might almost drive up it.
The basement of the building is OF
stone, though the upper stage is Of
brick covered with stucco-or as
much stucco as has survived the
ravages Of time. The outer walls
are massive, and their interior is, no
doubt, composed Of a species Of con-
crete, or mixture Of mortar, pebbles
and fragments of stone, which figures
strongly in all old Spanish struct-
ures.
No nation in the world, perhaps,
has less respect or appreciation for
the antique and time-honored than
have the Spaniards. The house
where Columbus died is now used as
a constable. Above the stone arch
way Is a time-stained medallion,
bcaring a mans head, standing out

lose to this hangs a small sign
JDlrd, with the following inscrip-
lion: New milk sold here; you may
see it MIXED" An old woman liy-
ing there gives tourists some infor-
nation.
Upon entering the ancient struct-
ure one steps into the spacious en-
trance hall, which is pitched with
small pebbles. On either side is a
large doorway, but the doors have
been removed, and through the open
ings one can see the cows standing in
rows. Twenty COWS are stabbed in
the lower part of the house. The
cowman and his family live up
stairs. One is quickly led into
large room overlooking the street
the room where Columbus died. The
windows are furnished with massive
iron gratings, as, indeed, are all the
windows in the house. A thin par
tition, running halfway across the
room, forms a small recess or alcOba,
in which is an old wooden bedstead,
with a wretched straw pallet and a
scanty covering Of old clothes. On
such a bed, probably, died the great
discOverer in poverty and desOlation.
In the middle of the partition is
little square window, through which
anyone sleeping in the alcOba might
see if any one entered the room.
The walls, bare and discOlOred with
age, look as If they had not been
whitewashed for at least a century.
The floor is of square earthen ties,
the same on which Columbus trOd
four centuries ago. In this room he
was for long time a prisoner. In
that alcoba, where the cowman and
his wife sleep every night, the great
discoverer died. Near the head OF
the bed the form Of a cross has
been scratched with some sharp in
strument deep in the plaster Of tho
wall. Tradition says that Columbus
made the cross.

Oldest oOuv Of tn, Book Of zscharlah

At the international Orientalist Con-
gress in London, England, a most inter.
esting document was submitted by Rev,
Professor HechIer, chaplain of the Brit
ish Embassy at Vienna, distinguished
Orientalist. 1t is papyrus manuscript,
discovered few months ago in Egypt,
supposed by some to be the oldest cop7
extant Of portions of the Old Testament
books of Zacbariah and Malachi.
These pages of papyrus when intact
we're about ten inches high and seven
inches wide, each containing twenty
eight lines of writing, both sides OF tho
sheet being used. The complete lins
contains from fourteen to seventeen let.
tiers. The sheets are bound together ID
the form Of a book, in primitive
though careful manner, with cord and
strips of old parchment. The Greek Is
written without intervals between the
words, custom in old Greek and old
Hebrew manuscripts. The papyrus is
in fair preservation, and is believed to
date from the third or fourth century.
It thus ranks in age with the Oldest
Greek manuscripts of the septuagint
version Of the old Testament in London,
Rome and St. Petersburg.
The differences in the papyrus tend to
the conclusion that it was copied from
some excellent original Of the Septuagint
Bible, first translated about 2SO B. c.,
for the use of the Hellenistic Hebrews in
Egypt, who, having gradually forgotten
the Hebrew tongue, had learned to
speak Greek. It has several new read
ings which surpass some of the other
Septuagint texts in clearness Of express
sion and simplicity of grammar. Itwould
appear that it was copied, and not writ
ten from dictation. A second scribe has
occasionally corrected some mistakes Of
photography made by the original copy
list, distinguished by the different color
of the ink.
Professor Hechler said it was sin
cerely to be hoped that this papyrus will
soon be published in fac smile for the
careful examination of Biblical schol-
ars, and that it is the pressing duty Of
the British Government to institute an
organized and scientific search for papyri
ia Egypt. II is impossible to forecast
what surprises may be in store or what
treasures may be placed at the disposal
of modern scholarship. New York

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FRACTURED BONES IN POULTRY.

Fractured bones in poultry. There is
no mystery about the treatment of q
broken bone; it will heal anyway, the
time varying according to the age and
quiet of the fowl, and the deformity
depending upon the degree of displace-
ment of the fracture. In keeping the
ends of broken bone together, the
breeder will have a good opportunity
to draw on his mechanical skill, but will
find that his restless patient will gener-
ally leave his hands deiormed. The best
results come from treating broken
shanks. "Brown paper, saturated with
white of egg and suffered to harden"
makes a good enough splint. Paste
board wet and nodded to the shape Of
the limb is also good. In the case of
broken wings, tie the feathers together
about an inch from the end. Fowls
with limbs deformed from fractures
breed well enough. New York Obser-
yer.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Dry, clean, and light poultry houses
are indispensable to success.
Breeding in.and-in of poultry should
be avoided, as tending to degeneracy.
Feeding cold milk is frequent cause
of scours in calves. Feed milk at blood
heat.
Mangel wurzels are economical feed for
poultry, boiled and mixed with mid
dlings.
It is not the amount of food consumed,
but that digested, which keeps the horses
strong aud plump.
W. F. Massey, of North Carolina, has
words of praise for the banana musk
melon for home use.
1t is easier to wash and keep the legs
clean now than to cure the scratches
after awhile. But be sure the legs are
thoroughly dried after washing.
You will find the horses will rest much
better during the nightif you clean them
up we'll in the evening. A good nights
rest means better work the next day.
When the colt is first hitched to a
wagon don't give him load that requires
Any effort to move. The foundation for
many a balky horse has been laid in this
way.
Have you cut the grass around the
house and raked up the fallen twigs and
branches1 If not you have no idea what
difference in the looks of things an
hours work will make.
If you allow the fowls free range,
feed them we'll when they come home at
night, otherwise they will get into the
habit of staying out, and that will make
a great deal OF trouble.
Give the fowls at all times plenty OF
ground or broken bone. If you have no
mill that will grind them, then break up
as fine as you can with an axe, and let
the fowls peck at them.
= Tobacco stems in the nests beneath
the straw is excellent for the prevention
of insects. 1t is hard to keep the nests
of sitting hens free from them unless
some such means is used.
Poultry, to be profitable, must be
managed with an eye to the small econo-
mics. One of these is to feed them as
largely as possible from such items as
would otherwise be wasted.

FASHION NOTES.

Persian lamb is advancing in price be-
cause it is q fur that is fashionably wor-
SHIPPED.
Silk stockings, with the old fashioned
clocks of a contrasting color, obtain this
autumn.
Ribbons on the hair, on the gowns,
aud on the wraps will be fashionable
this winter.
Use rain water for washing the face
whenever possible. 1t is excellent for
the complexion.
One of the latest French fashions is to
have the corsets and silk petticoats
match exactly; thishas very pretty and
finished effect.
A new use of an old idea is the adapta'
ton of the rosette to lines OF hat trim
ming other than silk, velvet aud ribbon.
The feather rosette is seen in great
variety.
There is a rumor in the air to the effect
that cashmere shawls will once again
come into fashion. 1t is certain that the
Empire styles will bring scarfs in theft
train; but it is to be hoped that it will
end there. Velvet is spoken of as the
most likely material for these accessories
to the toilet.
The prettiest now feather is white
aigrette, curled up in crisp tangle OF
feather threads, so fine aud delicate that
the aigrette looks as though made OF
spun glass. These spuu-gass aigrettes
make the tail to some OF the queer birds
One such has brown wings made OF two
fluffy brown chicken feathers, and a head
as green as grass.
Violet aud green, green with dark
purple aud light lavender, and the iaI'er
alone, are frequent. A spray aigrette
, that is very beautiful is green, with a
CLINT of gold. 1t is made Of ostrich
tips stripped close to the rib all the way
up. and gracefully curlei. Green in
rich shades is, next to brown, the most
universal color.
Shot silk stockings are among the
striking novelties. They come in all
the leading shades, and are blended so
as to match all costumes. There is an
effort to revive the wearing OF white
hosiery, but it is not likely to succeed,
though silk stockings in pale cream arr
very dainty appearing for house wear
with low cut slippers.

THE BEST MIXERS.

The best mixers that we ever saw
milk a COW use both hands and milk
rapidly. They adapt their handling to
the size and shape of the teats, using all
the fingers on large teats, and only the
thumb and fore6nger on small teats, or,
with small teats, bending the thumb in
and milking with the thumb knuckle and
forefnger. Hsbitually they MIXED with
dry hands, and without wetting the
teats. Some use a small clothes brush
for brushing of the udder before milk
ing. We should never allow our cows
to be MIXED with wet hands, whether
wet with water or milk; we know of no
surer way of causing the teats to chap
and get sore in winter. When teats are
sore, the best treatment that we have
tried is washing with tepid water, with
a little carbolic acid in it, then wipe dry
with soft towel before milking. After
milking, anoint lightly with plain vase
