the Columbian exercises. From dawn
the waters OF the harbor, the bay and
the broad channel of the Hudson were
literally alive with craft of all sorts and
sizes, from the small yachts trimmed
and draped with gay flags and bunting,
forming ever-changing pictures as they
darted to and fro in confusing maze, to
the big steamers with their gorgeous
decorations OF flags and steamers that
slowly threaded their way among the
swarms of little boats that surrounded
them on all sides.
Commodore Erben gave the signal to
start. A stir of preparation followed in
the squadron, puff OF smoke came
from Fort Hamilton, then crash and
the firing began. Boom! Boom! Boom!
The peaceful bomhardment sounded
like a naval combat, with all creation as
contestants. The Italian, French and
Spanish vessels joined in the fun. The
dynamite cruiser Nesuvius added its
crashing detonation; even the revenue
cutters with their toy cannons took a
hand. Steaming steadily upstream the
myriad fleet came in view of the
Battery. II the people ashore were
surprised at the size OF the naval DEM
onstration, the voy0gers Of the fleet
were uStOuHdcI dL the lnulJlIuueS BdJn-
cred along the waters edge. The park
at the Battery, Brooklyn bridge, the
housetops, business blocks, even the
very steeples, were black with specta-
tors. Moving up the stream the same
feature presented itself. Every pier
had its swarm Of sight-seers; every
warehouse roof was vantage point.
Cross trees OF vessels at their moor
ings, telegraph poles, ferry boats, drays,
abandoned hulks, all were pressed into
the public service.
Incredible as it may seem in the state
ment, not less than a million people
must have seen the parade from both
shores between its start at the forts
and the grand review at Riverside. Old
New Workers declared that no such
popular interest in any demonstration
has ever been seen in the history Of the
city.
When the squadron of the naval re-
serve formed in line about the Grant
tomb it was a signal for the final review.
The flagship dropped her anchor and
swung round in the tide. Her followers
did likewise, and the merchant fleet
steamed past in review up the river,
saluting with dipped flags. Forming in
parallel lines the parade then dropped

Pastry Flour.

We hear great deal about pastry
flour, and one writer, who claims to he
an authority on matters connected with
cooking declares that pastry made
from ordinary flour is as indigestible as
wrought-iron nails"
1t is a question that might interest a
large number Of people what our fore
fathers and foremothers did when they
ate pastry made of ordinary wheat flour,
which was used for generations-long,
indeed, before such a thing as pastry
flour was ever heard Of They seem to
have lived to a G od old age-many OF
them at least did-and hourished won
derfully well, even though they ate pic s
and cakes made from what this writer
calls indigestible stuff.
1t seems to be fad Of some of these
nineteenth century people to declare
that standard articles and dishes of the
country all wrong, if not absolute abom-
nations. If SOME Of these people would
use little more common sense in some
Of their distributes the general public
would have much more respect for what
they say.-New York Ledger.

Inn Columhns, Honor.

The city of New York did the hand
some thing by the memory OF Column
bus, and did it right well. The Jews
inaugurated the celebration on Satur-
day, their Sabbath, with song and SER
mon in their synagogues, OF both which
the subjectmatter was Columbus and
the discovery Of America. On Sunday
PTotestants and Catholics followed it
up in their churches and cathedrals with
religious services, interspersed with the
singing and playing OF National hymns
and where can the Star Spangled
Banner" be heard more appropriately
than in the church.
Monday was the schools day, and
school children of the public, private,
and parocffial schools marched by thou
sands through tie gayly decorated
streets. In the evening Mr.. s. G.
Pratts innocent cantata, THE Triumph
OF Columbus, was song at one hall.
There were concerts in other halls, q
loan exhibition, and display OF fire
works at the East River bridge. Tues
day the great naval parade took place,
In which American, French, Spanish,
and Italian war vessels, the naval mill
tia Of the State of New York, municipal
boats, yachts, steamboats,, ferryboats,
tugs, and revenue cutters all took
part, proceeding from the lower
bay up through the narrows amid
the salutes of the forts, and thence
up the North River to a point opposite
Gen. Grants tomb. In the evening
there was parade of the Roman Catho-
lie societies, the German singing socie-
ties gave a concert, the Catholic socie-
ties had memorial celebration, and
there wero displays of fireworks on the
Brooklyn bridge and in the parks.
Wednesday was the elimination Of the
pageant In the morning there was
military parade with 20, 600 men in line,
including troops OF the regular army,
The true northerner., 1892-10-19

the naval brigade, State guards, the
Grand Army of the Republic, volunteer
firemen, German American societies,
and Italian military organizations. In the
afternoon the Columbus monument, Of
which an Illustration is given, was dedi-
Gated and in the evening there was ap
historical parade, during which the city
was splendidly Illuminated. Thursday
the ceremonies closed with q banquet
at the LenoX Lyceum, at which the ora
tors did their part towards the apotheo-
sis of Christopher Columbus, notwith-
standing the declaration of Mr.. Ward
McAllister, arbiter of New York "sas-
siety," that Christopher was not gem
tleman because he did not wear swal-
low-tail coat, play polo, 60 coaching,
chase the anise-seed bag, and guZzle
champagne.
The Eastern metropolis rose to the
occasion. The arrangements seem to
have been perfect. The decorations Of
the city were magnificent and the crowds
In attendance immense. 1t is esti-
mated by the press that not less than
100000 strangers were in the city dur
Ing the three days Of actual celebration.
This is hint to Chicago Of the number
it may be called to provide for at the
actual opening of tho Columbian Ex-
position.
Parade of School Children.
The great parade of school children in
which, according to telegraphic reports,
nearly 10000 participated, served to
demonstrate the patriotism of the ris-
ing generation. AS an object lesson
showing the tremendous interest GEN.
tered in the schools it was a phenom-
enal success. From the wee tot in his
first knickerbockers who came first to

series OF climaxes driving home the
value Of the schools to the city, the

The Virus of y,pers.

DR.. Arthur Stradling, writing or n
number OF vipers which were presented
to him, says: "Vipers have very large
poison glands, and l obtained the venom
by allowing them TO bite on a small
porcelain spoon made on purpose, COW
cred over with oiled silk, like a drum.
The fangs, sinking through the silk into
the hollow OF the spoon, would each dis
charge tiny drop or globule Of virus,
and this l would collect and store in
fine glass tubes or on dried b'otting pa
per. There are many other methods OF
getting the poison, but / think this is
the best.
In India the natives procure cobra
vencm by inducing the enraged reptiles
TO strike at a shell, across which leaf
Is stretched. Each of my snakes could
be depended upon to yield poison once
day-iust u glistening speck that you
could hardly see. OF course, this was
slow process, and one day made a
calculation that If my sixteen vipers
had kept in full health and vigor, and
supposing that it had been possible 10
keep the fluid without letting it dry up,
1t would have taken more than seven
years to produce quart This will
give you some idea OF the fearful
strength Of the stuff, when you think
how minute is the quantity injected at
each bite.
The experiments which was making
just then consisted chiefly of soaking
scraps OF meat, bits of hardb boiled egg
and things OF that sort in the poison,
and analyzing the changes which re-
suited in them after given interval.
And from these and from similar trials
it was found that this fluid had the
power Of dissolving the albumen of
flesh like the gastric juice has; so it is
thought that one great use (perhaps the
greatest) of the venom is to aid in the
digestion Of the serpent's food. OF
course, it might do that and serve as
ammunition to kill the prey as well. -

Japanese Superstitions.

Japanese people are very supersti-
tious, and have innumerable signs and
tokens by which to regulate their con-
duct. They never sweep the rooms OF a
house Immediately after one of the in
mates has set ou. upon journey, as
this would sweep out all the luck with
him. At marriage ceremony neither
bride nor bridegroom wears any cloth
ing of purple color, lest their marriage
tie be soon loosed, as purple is the color
most liable to fade. They have some
curious ideas in regarl to the finger
nails, which are cut only at certain
times. II a woman steps over an egg
she'll, she will go mad; if over a razor,
it will become dull; If over a milestone,
1t will be b oxen. If man should set
his hair on fire, he will so mad The
Japanese have numberless other super
stitions of a similar character

down the stream, the battleships pealed
forth farewell salute, while a regiment
Of regulars ashore answered with a land
battery and the national hymn was
played by a regiment band. The last
shot marked the close of the parade.
The greatest naval spectacle of the
great city had ended and the journey
home began. Tugs whistled, steamers
Joined in, railroad whistles answered
from the shore and the orderly lines
broke up making for the piers down the
river.

Fire Display of Fireworks.
The fireworks display on the Brooklyn
Bridge began at 1880 and lasted until
midnight. The display was gorgeous.
There were illuminations from the
towers in the shape of Chinese suns six
feet in circumference, ard of an illum-
mating rover which enabled them to be
seen at a distance of twenty-five miles.
There were groups of bouquets and
thousands OF rockets fired stimuli
taneously from the towers, crossing and
intcrsecting in their fight. Millions of
magnesium stars Of the spreading va
riety and of the largest caiiber were
fred skyward from mortars a distance
of 800 feet. Hundreds of thousands OF
men and won n were out to see the
wonders.
The celebration eliminated In the
night pageant, which was the spectacu-
lar event of the week. Eighteen thou
sand people, costumed to represent tho
various types TO be illustrated, were In
line The toats shown in this parade were
the finest ever seen, and altogether the
affair was tho greatest OF the kind ever
attempted in this country.

When taken from the ground it has
much the appearance Of iron-or and is
quite as heavy. The first that was
taken out was piled up near the shaft

was found to be smoking. 1t continued
to grow hotter until it arrived at almost
a white heat, remaining In that condi-
tion several days. after which it gradu-

but half its first weight, and resembled
much the fragments of meteors that are
