Keep Moving and Don't Eat Much ths
First Day After Sailing.
There are countless remedies sug-
gested to the seasick traveller by
means Of which hope Of speedy recov-
cry is held out, and to the intending
traveller by sea it is safe to say that
there are given any number Of sup
posed-to-be sure ,preventives of this
troublesome but never dangerous ILL
ness. The Philadelphia Times does
not believe that there is any known
herb, drug or line Of action that will
prevent seasickness if once you start
in on that disagreeable path, but there
are many things that help to ward of
An attack which will indeed prove Of
value to those who dread SO much the
crossing Of the great Atlantic or Pa
cific ferries. 1t is advisable before
one starts on such voyage to be par
ticularly careful as to his diet. On
the first day out keep as much upon
the feet as possible and do not be
tempted to eat too heavily Of the nu-
merous palatable dishes that will be
set before You. Walking up and down
the deck continuously is advised by
many by arguing that one more quick
ly becomes used to the motion of the
vessel in this exercise, and the fatigue
which it induces brings the much
needed sleep. But it is useless to wear
ones self out hoping to stave off the
feeling Of nausea if it once attacks
you. Lemons are most grateful to
persons in this stage, and there is no
better settler Of an unruly stomach
than iced champagne. If you do not
feel inclined to eat do not force your
self to 60 to the table, for it is ten
chances to one that the very sight of
food will make you retire ignominious-
ly from the festive board. A we'll
known medical man declares that if
teen grains Of sulphate of quinine
taken from two to four hours before
sailing will prevent all feeling Of sea-
sickness, even to q most sensitive SUBJ
ject. Whether this applies in all cases
we have no way of ascertaining, but it
is simple enough to be followed out,
and if it proves helpful is worth all of
the confidence such an authority places

and squirrels are worth from twelve

five years "Freem" Biggs has hunted
bush tails and the proceeds of his
accurate aim have bought a fine farm
on which he reared a family OF ten
children.
''Freen" Riggs was born in Clinton
county. o., and went To Hutton town
ship when fifteen years old. At that
time there were plenty of deer and
turkeys there, and as a boy he acquired
a remarkable proficiency with the rifle
and finally drifted into hunting as
means of support. The railroads came,
and deer could be shipped to the east,
and until the settlements drove the
game away he sold venison. After the
country became settled and the greater
part of the timber felled, the turkeys
and deer disappeared, and he was
obliged to begin business engage
ment with the squirrels, which con-
tinues up to the present, at least up to
the time prohibited by law in each
year For the last thirty-five years he
has done business exclusively with the
squirrels, and modestly estimates that
on an average he has sold about six
hundred year. At first the price
ranged from fifteen cents up, but now
it ranges about ten cents and twelve
cents. OF course the supply of squir-
rels is not SO large at present. Be-

INDIAN WOOD.WORKERS.

The Flint and Glass Tools Of the Aztec
n Carpenters.
aboriginal carpentry" says II. F.
Mcleod, of the Smithsonian Institute,
was the chief trade of our predecessors
on this continent. The Indians and the
mound builders had very good idea Of
wood working. You will see even now
some very pretty joining done by Sioux
Indians. Their tent poles make fit
which many a white carpenter would
not like to try to do better.
The best carpenters, of course, were
che Aztecs, who had arrived at quite a
high stage Of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing of steel, are
really excellent. We have few of their
tools at the Smithsonian, but the best
collection is, Of course, in the City of
Mexico. The material used was almost
wholly glass, especially for the finer
parts of their wood cutting. To chop
trees they used flint axes, and for rough
hewing out of logs the same, but when
it came to the accurate fitting in Of the
hewn timber, they handled glass knives,
chisels and saws very deity and with
beautiful results. There is a ceaba
wood post in Washington with hero
glyphics and faces cut upon it, oil with
glass. You can see bits of the original
.hisel still sticking in n corner of the
wood, where it broke off three centuries
ago under the hand of the workman.
The Aztecs knew how to make a very
good and manageable glass, and their
best cutting blades, swords, daggers
and spears, saws, chisels and axes were
made of it. When the edge dulled they
broke it from the end instead of sharpen
ing it, and got a new cutting line.
"YOu can see a great deal of aborigi-
oal carpentry still in use among the
Moqui Indians of the United States. OF
course they use our tools now, but
they follow out their old patterns.
They know how to make ladders, and
they swing their doors on hinges from
the top, and they know how to mortise
timbers, knew how long before Column
bus landed in America. OF course they
use our tools differently from our way.
The chisel they push rather than ham,
mer, work the board up and down on a
fixed saw. rather than the saw on the
board, and withal they get creditable
results. The frame work in the Pueblos
is quite as honest as any thing we have
n America"

NAiionaiities In Austria.

tria among the German countries. As
q matter of fact, her German-speaking
population is but limited, and annually
losing ground. The increase in popu-
lation among the German inhabitants
of Austria is but 5.17 per thousand per
year; the increase with the Italians in
Austria is 500, and with the Slavonic
races 1893. OF one hundred marriagea-
BILE women in the German districts
forty-one find husbands; among the
SlavOnic races the percentage is
6fty-two. One of the reasons for this

Of Austria the economic management
OF affairs is almost prohibitory to
marriage among the younger sons and
daughters Of the peasants. The home
stead goes to the eldest Son, whose
brothers and sisters become his serv-
ants. Among the Slavs the family
property is equally divided among al
children after the death of the father,
and each one is allowed to begin
housekeeping on his own hook.

One Of the finest diamonds in the
world was found not long since in the
Brazilian sands. 1t came in a novel
form. A small quartz rock was found
about the size and shape Of an egg, ly-
ing in the sand along the banks Of the
Amazon, in Brazil. This was carried
home by Brazilian peasant, who was
attracted by its odd shape and light
weight. For some time it lay in his
home with a number of other geologi-
cal specimens, a mere curiosity. Hap
pening one day in handling it to drop
it on . stone block, it burst open and
lay in halves on the block. The hol-
low interior that gave the light weight
to the stone was filed with blood-red
sand. In this sand lay the diamond, .
sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to . diamond
and left the finder exceed.
ingly wealthy.

The costume that pleased me most IS
! the one shown in the picture made OF

skirt were of the MORE and the Georg-
ian waist-coat of Pompeian red bro
cade with lace cravat. This model
could be successfully copied by substi-
tuting camels-hair cloth for the MORE
and white broad cloth for the vest in
place of the brocade.
Some of the new coats and capes are
exceedingly desirable and there is an
| almost endless variety TO select from.
One regal looking cloak is made of the
finest sable, hanging in full graceful
folds and made with pointed shoulder
cape and small roll collar, all in the
same fur. This garment can he trans
ferred into an entirely different one,
to all appearances at least, and one
specially adapted for eveing wear by
turning 1t inside out. The other side,
which would be the lining in an ordi-
nary cape, being of rich satin in a
beautiful deep shaded violet brocaded
with punches Of roses all around its
edges. Thus one gets handsome cape
OF brocade with lining and edging OF
finest sable. An elegant carriage wrap
in plum-colored water velvet, lined
throughout with ermine, had a collar
and deep shoulder cape of sealskin.
For ordinary wear nothing could be
smarter than a perfectly cut and very
full cape OF sealskin with deep collar
and revers Of contrasting fur.
The coat that will be worn this wins
ter will be cut quite long and made
severely plain, In some OF the hand
soonest only one row of machine stitch-
ing being used. These coats will be
worn with cloth skirts and VIII in a
measure take the place of a tailor
made gown. These coats come in all
the shades of tan, mode and brown,
and a peculiar shade of blue, rather q
dark blue and yet Of q bright tone,
Some are in small checks and others in
the exceedingly popular clouded effects.
The one in the picture represents an
entirely new design. It is made of
blue cloth and is intended to be worn
with a silk skirt. Owing to the curve
and finish given the front, on warm
days it can be worn open, displaying
