Auctions I'm France.

The French mode of conducting
auctions is rather curious. In sales
of importance, such as of land, houses,
etc., the affair is placed in the hands
of notary, who, for the time being,
becomes an auctioneer. The property,
whatever be its nature, is first exam
ined by competent judges, who fix
upon it price, considerably less than
its value, but always sufficient to pre-
vent any ruinous loss by precon-
certed plan or combination of bidders.
The property is then offered with the
fixed valuation stated. The auction
eer is provided with number of small
wax tapers, each capable of burning
about five minutes. As soon as bid
is made one of these tapers is placed
in full view of all interested parties
and lighted. If, before it expires, an
other bid is offered, it is Immediately
extinguished and fresh taper placed
in its stead, and so on until one
fiickers and dies out of itself, when
the last bid becomes irrevocable. This
simple plan prevents all contention
among rival bidders and affords a
reasonable time for reflection before
making higher offer than the one
preceding. BY this means, too. the
auctioneer is prevented from exercis-
ing undue influence upon the bidders
or hastily accepting the bid of favor,
ito.

One OF the Longest OF Walks.

Herr Schneidereit, an Austrian
printer, boasts that he has Just com.
pleted one of the longest walks ever
made by man. He has marched on
foot the whole way from Calcutta to
his native town, Rathenow. In the
year 1892 he was informed that kins.
man, who had lately died in Australia,
had bequeathed him n considerable
fortune, and so he set out with his
wife and children to take possession
of his inheritance in the English col.
ony. When he arrived he found the
fortune to be little more than a fable,
and he set his face again toward home.
The ship was burned on the voyage |;
Herr Schneidereit lost his wife and
his two children, but was himself mar.
velously rescued and carried ON board
an English ship to Calcutta.
There he quickly spent the small
remnant of his property, and found
himself utterly without means of live.
lihood. So the venturous man resolv.
ed that he would walk home to Aust
ria. He travelled on foot across India,
Afghanistan, Persia, Turkey, the
south of Russia, Bulgaria, Roumania,
and Hungary, into his Austrian father.
land. The journey on foot occupied
him nearly the whole of two years.
We are inclined to think that he may
fairly claim to have beaten the record
in pedestrianism. If this wonderful
walker were an author as we'll as
printer, he might make capital book
out of his experiences as pilgrim
from the East to the West London

Bismarck was a student at Gottin-
gen in 1882 and 1888, where his skill
in fence won for him the surname
"Achilles the invulnerable. In three
terms he sought twenty duels and re-
ceived only single wound, of which
the scar on his lower jaw near the lip
is still perceptible; but as this was
caused by his adversary's blade flying
from the hilt, it was contrary to the
code, so that his reputation for invul-
nerability remained technically unim.
paired. Indeed, the university au.
thorities forbade him to fight certain
projected duels, on pain of expulsion,
and month later he was sentenced to
three days incarceration for like
offense. His first duel was with an
Englishman, who had spoken in de-
rision of the many petty States OF
Germany. With an American student
he made bet that Germany would be
politically united in twenty years.
The wager was twenty-five bottles Of
champagne, to be drunk in the coun.
try of the winner. After the lapse of
this score of years, in 1853, Bismarck
was prepared to cross the sea in order
to pay the bet, when ho learned that

REPAIRING LINEN.

The matter of repairing is 80 broad
a one that II can never be taught by
precept alone. Unless the person up
on whom the task devolves has ma
tural tact for keeping things in order,
and love for the work as we'll as for
the neatness which il brings, page up
on page OF good housekeeping exhor-
tation will all be in vain. In the first
place, prevention, here as elsewhere
is the part OF wisdom. When there
is any reason to suppose that a given
article may be getting thin in texture
1t should be carefully scrutinized
whenever laundered, and il any spots
show signs OF giving way they should
be re-enforced by neat aud careful
darning.
1t is remarkable how much this may
be practised by carefully selecting
embroidery cottons or floss to match
the material of the linen, and using a
deft hand with the needle. Some
times it is necessary to stitch a bit OF
foreign fabric on the back side OF the
article to be repaired, to serve as q
base for the ending operations; OF
to hold the parts in place, a piece OF
stiff paper may be basted on the back
side, over which the work of rebuild.
ing the fabric with proper material,
carrying the anchoring stitches an
inch or more into the firm cloth, may
be performed. When the hole is
mended the paper is removed and il
care has been exercised it will require
close scrutiny to detect the spot.
Sheets which have worn thin in the
centre may, if taken in time, be cut
through the middle, lengthwise, and
the outer edges being brought togeth-
er. to form new centre much addi.
tional wear will be secured. Table
linen which has become too much
worn for further satisfactory service
will generally be found to have con-
siderable sections of firm fabric, which
should not be wasted. This will very
likely furnish still soft and pleasant
towels, and even when quite thorough
ly worn will provide exceptionally
pleasing dish towels and cloths for
similar use. Good Housekeeping.

The report made by the captain OF
the United States cruiser Columbia,
which vessel arrived recently at Blue.
fields, Nicaragua, shows that the YES.
Bel burned little more than 700 tons
of coal during the voyage of seven
days and twenty-five hours from New
York. This amounts in money to
nearly 49, for the fuel alone, using
only three-eights boiler power for
three days of the trip, and one-fourtb
power the rest of the time. The cap
tain of the ship says that very eco.
nomical speed had to be maintained,
in order that the ship might still have
fair amount of coal on board upon
her arrival ut Bluefields. And yet,
even at this economical speed, if she
could bc run every day in the year,
the cost of coal alone, upon the basis
of the low prices at New York, accord.
ing to the Tribune of that city, would
be in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900.

Wood Stronger Than Steel.

Cast iron weighs 444 pounds to the
cubic foot, and one-inch square bar
will sustain weight of 16, 500 pounds |;
bronze, weight 525 pounds, tenacity
80, 1000; wrought iron, weight 480,
tenacity $4,000; hard "struck" steel,
weight 400, tenacity $4,000; alumni
mum, weight 168, tenacity 10000.
We are accustomed to think of metals
as being stronger than wood, and so
they are, generally speaking, if only
pieces of the same size be tested. But
when equal weights of the two mate
rials are compared, it is then found
that several varieties of wood are
stronger than ordinary steel. A bar
of pine just as heavy as bar of steel
an inch square will hold up 125, 900
pounds; the best ash l74, 900 pounds,
and some hemlock 100000 pounds.
Wood is bulky. 1t occupies ten or
twelve times the space of steel. The
best steel castings made for the United
States Navy have tenacity of $1,000
to rs, 900 pounds to the square inch.
By solidifying such castings under
great pressure, tensile strength OF
$4,000 to 100000 pounds may be
obtained. Railway Review.

ing his jaws concomitantly with his
shears. Let any one watch person
cutting tough material with scissors,
and he will see that the lower part Of
the face wags in rhythmic and sponta-
neous unison with the blades. Shep.
herds and farm laborers who join
sheep-sheering gangs certainly acquire
different expression while engaged
in this kind OF work.
The cast of countenance by which
one 80 easily recognizes a groom is
partially explicable from the fact that
the muscles which close the jaw and
compress the lips are always called
into play when we are asserting our
will over that of horse. Nearly all
jockeys and other horsy men have
peculiar set of the mouth and chin,
but have been unable to distinguish
any special characteristic about the eye
or upper part Of the face.
IL is instructive to compare the Wis.
age of the ruler of horses with that OF
the ruler of men. The horseman's face
shows command in the mouth, the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and the eye.
The last is undoubtedly the most effec-
tive instrument in exacting obedience
from our own species. Here we get
hint of the cause of that want of dig
nifty, that element of coarseness which
is discernible in the countenances Of
some men and women who have much
to do with horses. The higher and
nobler method of expressing authori-

more animal one.
