A gentleman who lives up the Os-
tanaula river told of peculiar oc-
currence in bis vicinity the other
day. He was fishing in the river
when he saw a great red tailed hawk
fly down and light by the edge of
the stream. It was q sand bar and
the hawk waded out few feet in
the shallow water. He then OBJ
served the hawk engaged IN fear
full struggle, as if held by something,
and with great effort the bird rose
and flew out in the field, carrying
with it q big water turtle which it
had attacked, but which instead of
being caught had clutched one of the
hawks feet in its powerful mouth
and held on. Out in the field the
hawk tried in vain to get away from
the turtle, but could not. When it
became too fatigued to fly the man
went out and killed both with a
hickory club. b.--Columbu (Ga.) En-

A singular fact with regard to an
unsuspected property of cheese,
which has been accidentally discov-
cred, is interesting to chemists aside
from its hygienic bearings. 1t ap-
pears that nickel plated ware, which
is deservedly in favor with house
keepers on account of its durability,
it's handsome appearance and the
ease with which it is cleaned, is at
tackled more energetically by cheese
than even by vinegar or Tactic acid.
All kinds of cheese are found to
produce this effect in the same de-
gree; even when dry any of them
will eat into nickel plated salver in
less than twelve hours. Since or
dinary cheese shows decidedly
neutral reaction when treated with
htlnus paper, it was supposed that
the trihing amount of baldrianic acid
which it contains would be INSULT
cient to account for the phenomenon.
This assumption, however, turns out
to be erroneous, for, as the result OF
direct experiment., it is found that
nickel is speedily corroded by baldri
anic acid. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

So Sorry to Leave.

A tramp stood on the platform of
the Santa Fe station at San Bernar-
dino. A passenger train was all
ready to leave. He gazed about the
place sorrowfully, selected soft
looking brakebeam and swinging
himself into comfortable position
ON it prepared for the first stage of
his Journey. "All aboard" sang out
the conductor and off went the train.
It passed through bustling little and
big towns, through the most charm
ing valleys in the world, whirled by
enormous orange groves and stretches
Of vineyard, by fields of Strawberries
and green peas, passing homes which
were palaces, going through what
every one admits Is the most beauti-
full, the most fertile, most pleasing
region on the footstool.
The tramp lay on his brakebeam
enjoying the scene and regretting
that the love of travel obliged him
to leave such an earthly paradise
After several hours ride the train en-
tered quite a large town and slowed
up as it approached the depot San

ductor Hang iti' said the tramp,

The attempt made some tile ago
to prejudice the minds of hnglish
consumers against the American ap-
pie, on the ground of its being sat
urated with arsenic, has utterly
failed, and our best varieties are as
popular as ever. 1t was stated in
E.aglish papers that the delicate,
unnatural bloom of the American
apples is due to arsenic, drug that
is largely used by people, especially
the fair sex, in America, to make the
complexion beautiful" This and
other statements. equally absurd,
were traced to spectators who bad
an interest in injuring the sale OF
American apples in the English mar
kets.
In order that the matter should be
thoroughly tested a department OF
tho Massachusetts Agricultural col
lege. at Amherst, undertook series
of experiments. To determine the
amount of copper and arsenic adher-
ing to the surface of apples (for 1t
could not have been absorbed into
the substance of the fruit which had
been sprayed three times with Bor-
deaux mixture and paris green for
the purpose of protecting them from
insects, twenty apples, measuring
one peck, were subjected to analysis.
The amount of copper oxide found
! on the apples was twenty-five thou
sandths of one ounce to the barrel,
or in other words, it would require
1000 barrels to yield one ounce OF
copper oxide.
The specimens selected for this
analysis were those with the toughest
surface, to which would adhere more
of the copper solution of paris green
than to the average apple. Not a
trace of arsenic could be detected in
this analysis. New York Telegram.

A cbeap subst,tute for Gold.

An alloy by the Menden works
might be substituted for gold not
only because of its color, but also by
reason of certain properties that 1t
possesses. It remains unalterable,
without any modification of its color,
even after having been exposed for
a long time to air containing ammo
niacal or acid vapors. 1t can be
rolled and worked like gold, and has
the aspect of this metal without CON
tanning the least particle of it. This
new alloy is also much less costly
than those that are usually en-
ployed in place of the precious
metals.
1t consists of copper and antimony
in the proportion of about 100 to 6.
It is prepared by adding the desired
quantity of antimony to the copper
melted and heated to a certain tenn
perature. After the antimony is
melted and intimately mixed with
the copper, little charcoal, mag
nesi,lm and calcspar is added to the
crucible. This fiux has the effect of
causing the disappearance of a por-
GUS structure which tho material
would not lose without that, and of
furnishing a very compact cast met
al. The latter can then be rolled,
beaten, hammer hardened and sol
dered like gold, and after being pol
ished it has the aspect of genuine
gold, while its solidity is much
greater than that of the latter

Lightning in Cities.

The character of the soil has some
thing to do with strokes of lightning,
which are less frequent over chalky
ground. Oak trees are most fire.
quently struck, while beech trees are
least liable to attack.
Few people are killed by lightning
in the cities. There is not much
need of lightning rods on low houses
in the city, while on church spires
they might be of some use. The
reason why lightning rods ON low
houses in the city are of doubtful
utility is because in the city there is
such vast amount of material which
conducts the electricity away. Tele-
graph poles are frequently struck.

South American Horses.

South America is great place for
horses and horse leather is one of the
staple products. 1t all comes to New
York or to Hamburg-most of it to
New York-and Buenos Ayres is the
great South American market. There
are SO many horses in Buenos Ayres
that beggars literally beg on horse
back. It's strange, too, for at the
time of the discovery of America
horses were unknown in South
America. They We're imported by
the Spaniards and have bred into
countless herds. They run wild on
the vast plains from the shores of
the La Plata to Patagonia, and are
caught by the Ganchos by the thou
sands for their hides, portions of
which, under the native treatment,
make the finest leather, for what is
known as shell cordovan brings as
high a price as French calfskin.-

1hE RUSSIANS AT. HOME.
A visitor who Found Them n Pleasan
and Rospitabie People.

visitor who Found Them Pleasant
and Rospitabie People.
/ found the Russians pleasant,
hosp table and social people, always
ready to fraternize and help me in
every way in their power. was
told sometimes by Englishmen in
the country that they were very
childish people; in the ease with
which they are willing to be amused
this may be SO, and also, perhaps, in
certain disregard of conventional
,-;, rance. l remember once see
in,g = issian general and colonel
and be .c noted that officers invari-
ably wear uniform and swords-sit-
ting on the ledge of shop window
in the principal street of one OF the
largest cities of the empire, discuss
ing some matter with great anima-
ton and wholly unaware of any in
congruity in their position and OF
my somewhat bewildered stare.
Imagine such a scene in Regent
street. My tutor, however, assured
me it was nothing out of the ordi.
nary, and laughed at my surprise.
One certainly meets with little ways
and usages common among the ordi-
nary great middle class (if / may so
call the class from which spring the
majority Of officers. of the army, or
binary tchni vuicks or officials, stu
dents, lawyers, professors of the uni
versities and schools, doctors, mer-
chants, etc. the class, in fact, among
which the ordinary Englishman
finds himself cast in his attempt to
live in family and learn the Ian
guage) which strikes an English
man as being mot nice, +" and form
to great extent the ground on
which we occasionally votes them as
barbarOuS.
Small matters, to which it would
be pity to attach undue impor-
tance, arrest ones attention, such as
frequently eating with their knives
as we use fork; no salt spoon either
in hotels or in private houses, the
aforesaid knife being employed to
help ones self to salt, sometimes
stretching half the length of the
table to get at it instead of asking
that it should be passed; simplifying
the carving of fowl, for instance,
by a liberal use of the fingers
using the same knife and fork for
the various courses, and helping ones
self to vegetables, etc., by sticking
ones fork into the dish and extract
ing what is required, and many other
little points similar in kind.
One common practice should be
mentioned. The men, and sometimes
the ladies, carry about little pocket
comb, which is used in the most un
concerned way anywhere-in train
at railway station or on entering q
room, without any apology. The
hair is often worn by the men with
out any parting, sometimes rather
long, and brushed or combed back OF
straight up, which gives them 6
rather wild appearance. These are
some of the peculiarities of manner
and ways which, however small
somewhat jar on an Englishman. II
spite of the unique opportunity fol
skating which their long winter gives
them, it is rare to find any Russian
who can skate well. ll.--Cornhill Maga
