sefer Pasha,s Career.

A once prominent parsonage in London, as
elsewhere, Sefer Pasha, the whilom "Master of
the Horse" in the household of the Khedive
Ismail, joined the majority last week. Sefer
Pasha, a Pole OF good family, by name Lads
laus Won Koscielski, served originally sin the
fighting duel with his superior officer GEN.
eral Kliest-Retzow, says the London World.
He then took service under Sultan Abdul
Medsehid, and became chief of the Turkish
staff during the Crimean war. Sent subse-
quently by Sultan Abdul Aziz to Egypt to act as
a sort OF spy upon Ismail, he was taken up by
the latter, and lost all favor with the Sultan.
When Isnail fell, Sefer Pasha repaired to
property he had purchased in Syria, and
established himself comfortably in the castle
OF Bertholdstein,, which from a picturesque
ruin he converted into fairly luxurious resi-
denee. Here he lived jovially and Hospitality,
visited by hosts of friends, who enjoyed alike
his good wine, his good cigars and his good
stories.
He reared thoroughbred Arabs, one of which
her Majesty did him the honor to accent,
requiting the doner with present OF pug
dogs. He was the most courteous of hosts, and
universally popular with his neighbors.
and, having enjoyed life as few people do, has
within few days of IsmaiPs death followed
his old master TO the grave.

first idea OF using this meal as an article of
diet was suggested by his young nephew,
who, after looking at the feeding Of the
COWS, took to eating the cottonseed meal
from the feed-bins. No restriction was
laid upon the youngster, who for two years
thrlved well on his singular food. This led
to experiments being tried in the kitchen,
mixed with two thirds white -four or
cornmeal, and baked or fried either as
batter or dough. The mixture cooked
well, and possessed a rich, nutty fla
vor, very pleasant to the palate. Cot

THE INFLUENZA AND VooALIsrs.-England
is in the throes of the influenza, and while
the nation generally is trying to find out
how it is that the doctors do not seem to
know anything about it, the great army of
vocalists who have suffered from the
scourge are lamenting their lost voices,
and asking how they can be wooed back.
So prevalent has been this plague among
musicians, that the absentees from it have
reached at some entertainments the for
midable proportion of 80 per cent. One of
its effects is aphonia, an affection from
which amateur vocalists enjoy remarka-
bic immunity, but which, with cruel per-
versity, harnesses and disables the profess
sional singer.
VARIATION IN THE GROWTH OF TREES
The popular idea that trees keep on steadily
adding to their growth year in year out
has been falsified by the observations of
M. Mer, French forester. NJ. Mer states
that the weather affects the growth of
trees, as it does that of vegetables In the
dry summer of 1898 the frs of the Vosges
grew less than usual, both in height and
diameter. a similar effect was produced
by the exceptionally cold, wet summer of
1888. The dry spring of 1892 only dimin-
ished the growth in length, and the dry
autumn of 1887 only checked the growth
in thickness. In short there are good, bad
and middling years of growth, and M. Mer
considers that foresters will do well to give
the matter a great deal more study than
has ever been devoted to it.
CLEANING TOBACCO PIPEs.-There are so
many smokers in the world that any new
recipe for cleaning pipes is sure to find
readers. A shallow cork, or still better a
rubber stopper, through which a hole is
bored large enough to enable it to fit
tightly on the nozzle of a soda-water
siphon, is fitted into the bowl. The
nozzle is inserted, the mouthpiece directed
into a vessel, about a wineglass of soda
forced through, and the pipe is clean,

Domestic Life.

The perfection Of the providence for
children is easily acknowledged. The care
which covers the seed of the tree under
tough husks and stony cases provides for
the human plant the mothers breast and
the fathers house.
The size of the nestler is comic, and its
tiny, beseeching weakness is compensated
perfectly by the happy, patronizing look
of the mother, who is sort of high re-
posing providence toward it.

The Silver Chest.

Now that silverware is being offered for
sale at such unusually low prices-manu-
featured articles can be bought at less than
their equivalent weight in silver dollars, it
is asserted-it seems an excellent time for
the pretty German custom of the silver
chest to come into more general favor.
Many American families have already
borrowed the fashions, and a silver chest
is bought for each little daughter before
her christening day.
Friends soon come to know that single
spoons or other prices are acceptable gifts

How Yankee Fishing-Smack Reached

How Yankee Fishing Smack Reached
Haven at Fayal.
The first authentic news of the Ameri-
can fishing schooner Joseph z Johnson,
Captain George Brier, supposed to have
been lost during the terrible gales of Feb
ruary, reached here last night in batch
of letters from the Western Islands, says a
Providencetown dispatch in the Boston
Herald. February she was at anchor
on the fishing-banks, and a month later,
after all hopes of her had been abandoned,
she limped into the port of Fayal, 1000
miles from home, in badly crippled con-
dition. Captain Briefs letter says:
"Instead of decreasing, as we hoped, the
cyclone kept increasing, and the seas that
were sweeping over and around US were ter
rible to look at. Our stout hawser held
bravery until the morning of the6th, when it
snapped assunder and away we went at the
mercy OF the gale. Early on the morning of
the 7th nasty comber came sweeping
toward US and struck the much-abused
craft auartering, until the mass lay fiat on
the water. The scene at that moment was
almost indescribable-no one can do it JUS
tice. As the stricken vessel lay there on her
broadside, with every sea making clean
sweep over her, the chances for our lives
looked slim. Atlast she was up again, but
in terrible shape. Ali were there but one,
Manuel Souza Baroas, who had been
swept away and was never seen again.
The bulwarks on the lee side were gone,
the decks swept of everything, the figure
head smashed and forstaysail blown to
ribbons. The sea was making plaything
of US. All we could do was to hang on,
keep her head to the gale and trust to
God to do the rest The gale lasted for
fourteen days and we drifted before it. All
we had to drink was water made by melt
ing ice taken from the fish pens in our
hold, and our provisions were all soaked.
After the gale moderated and 1 found out
our position and condition I decided that
the best thing I could do was to make
for the Western Islands. We spoke q
French bark and obtained two barrels of
crackers, which were our principal article
of diet for the succeeding twelve days before
we reached this port. The vessel is badly
strained and will have to be recalked and
refitted. We are in hopes te get away
somewhere about the LIST of April and
reach home some time during the month"
