america"

The remarks sent to us by "a. G. :"
about the tune OF our national hymn,
America" are satisfactory. The tune
was not English originally, though the
English use il for their royal anthem. 1t
was used by the Germans long before it
was taken up by the English, and we are
assured by a musical explorer that the
Germans got il from the Norsemcn, who
had probably heard it sung by the Firms,
who most likely captured it from the
Huns, who doubtless brought il from
Asia when they entered Europe. We
told in the Sun long ago Of our attempts
20 trace this very old tune through the
ages, from country TO country, and 10 it's
birthplace. We found that it has been
known 10 various races and we found It
as far back as we could go. 1t, or some
thing like it, was perhaps sung by the
Jews in the first temple and they may
have borrowed it from the Egyptians.
1t is OF solemn and majestic strain,
suitable 10 some OF the Psalms Of David
1t is certain that the English did not in
vent or concoct the tune TO which they
sing the words Of "God Save the Queen
and 20 which we sing the words Of
America" We need not be ashamed
20 use the tune because il existed in
other countries before we adopted il or
was u ed by generations that lived before
Columbus discovered America, or was
known 10 musicians before the times Of
st. Ambrose. IL is a noble tune. .-. New

A SOFA PILLOW.

So many descriptions have been given
from time TO time, in the numerous mag
azines, of these necessary articles, and
all have beer so alike, and when finished
the labor and time, not counting the
money expended, have been really
greater than anticipated, that venture
to send directions for making one which
is both simple and unique.
Take a common pillow and cover it
with old gold cambric; get a piece of
dotted Swiss muslin, or, if you have any
old lace curtains cast aside, take and cut
out the best parts and make into long
slip, leaving both ends open, the slip to
be five inches longer than the pillow.
This covering can be readily washed
when soiled, and it is inexpensive yet
attractive, for white is always very
dainty, and the old gold showing through
the lace produces novel and pretty

Very deep collars of lace and en-
broidery are among the new importa-
tions. If one has some pieces of old
time lace they may be set around an
old-fashioned embroidered collar. The
lace is wide, sufficiently so to fall over
the tops of the sleeves.
Long cloaks of black satin lined with
a contrasting color are in. They are
made with a yoke and three ruffles
around the shoulders and long straight
skirt.
Candied chrysanthemums are the
fashionable floral sweets of the moment.

SKIRTS AND THEIR TRIMMINGS.

Skirts are diminishing in width, and
are generally gored, but there is still
great variety in cut. Four yards is
amply wide around the bottom, and a
skirt that merits the name Of standard
cut has five gored breadths, which gives

is worn with high Spanish comb set
with Irish brilliants. Often this comb
is set in sideways in coquettish fashion.
To some women this is becoming, but
to others it is little short of ridiculous.

Praying by Machinery.

Praying by machinery is usual among
the inhabitants of Central Asia. A
large, hollow cylinder-like drum is
erected, and within it are inclosed the
prayers that any one may wish to offer,
written out neatly. The cylinder is then
made to revolve by wind or water pow
er, and every time it goes round the
devotee imagines it to be equivalent TO a
verbal repetition Of sll the prayers it
contains.

Silk bodices in Paisley designs are

THE PUFF ADDER.

Some or His CapePs Among the

Philadelphia Press
South Africa is what herpetologists
call rich in snakes" and especially in
puff adders. which. on account of their
size. are among the most dangerous.
At this season scarcely a day passes
without a puff adder incident being re-
corded, and in consequence of the towns
spreading SpdrSeIy over wild districts
with detached residences and extensive
gardens, 1t Is no uncommon occurrence
TO see puff adder meandering down
the street" Happily, in the majority
of eases the people know how to avoid
them or deal with them. but notWith-
standing presence of mind and good
courage fatalities do occur.

wound as he went. The wound was
promptly scarified and ammonia was
applied. but the poor fellow died in
few hours. The delayed treatment in
the case aggravated the danger.
Though there are other highly

at the Cape, they are more of the cobra
kind. while the.puff adders are extremely

and that is all. A very remarkable
circumstance occurred at Port Eliza
beth, where puff adder was actually
in the befs of Sleeping lady. That it
did not bite her can only be accounted
for by the fact that it could not do SO.
1t was under the bedclOthes and had no
space for action. The lady had a pet
cat who WAS allowed TO sleep III her
room.
One night. when too much as4eep, to

she had settled herself the previous

The Strange and Painful Advent
ure of FOnr Sailors in Iid-Ocean

The Strange and Painful Advent
| San Francisco Examiner
The arrival at this port of the
schooner Compeer gives to the world
tale III some respects rivaling the story
OF the castaway CrusOe.
Last fall the schooner Caleb Curtis, a
! trim little craft, sailed for the far-away
ClippertOn island, mere dot in the
broad Pacific. She went in quest of
guano, reports having been long current
that rich beds Of il were there awaiting
the adventurous marine.
On reaching the island the captain of
the Caleb Curtis concluded TO explore
somewhat further; but he did not care
to abandon his claim to the guano he
discovered there. Accordingly he dis
embarked four of his sailors, leaving
With them enough provisions for fort
night, ana promising to return within
that time. Then he weighed anchor
and sailed away.
Strange to relate, he did not return.
On the contrary he made for San
Francisco and paid no further heed to

stretch of coral that lifted itself above

hausted, found themselves in most
pitiable plight. Far out of the track of
ships, seemingly abandoned by the only
men who knew a thing about their
whereabouts, they lost hope of ever
seeing the mainland again. Then, too,
they were most desperately situated as
to food and shelter This island prison
is a mere desolate rock. lashed by the
waves of the sea and the weeping
winds that hurry across the ocean.
They were obliged to Subsist OH crabs
and fish, OF which, however, they found
an abundance. ClipDerton island is
abont nine miles In circumference, with
large lagoon III the center. This la
coon is filed with fresh water and
teens with great variety of strange
1SheS. Crabs, too. abound, and they
crowd the entire Island, some of them
being large and feroeious, attacking
almost anything that comes within their
reach.
The unfortunate eastaWays found the
crab danger as well as benefit, for it
was almost impossible without tools to
construct shelter that would be proof
against them.
The men suffered terribly, the storms
aud the want of food. and the absence
OF IRE and the seeming hopeieSsness of
their situation uniting TO make their lot
ineXpresSlbly dismal.
About the time they were nearly ex-
hausted, and when they were already
certain that death would soon end their
hardships, help came.
On the nth of last March the schooner
Compeer was chartered in San
Francisco to sail to the coral island for
load OF guano. When she arrived the
sufferers were found and taken aboard.
They were barely alive and presented a
must affecting spectacle. Everything
that could tend 10 restore them to a
normal state was done. and little bv lit
tie they became their old-time selves.
by the time the schooner reached the
nome port they were well aud strong
again, although they will probably
always bear evidence of their strange
adventures in the far-off coral isle.
