In central and eastern Asia there
lies an unexp1ored region full of inter
est, and to the archmologistespecially,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. A great
traveller and clever writer, the Russian
Gen. Prjevalslsy, speaking of the oasis
OF Tchertchen, situated in the great
table lands hemmed in by the there un-
broken wall of the Himalayas, says
that close to it are the ruins of two
great cities, the oldest of which, ac-
eording to local tradition, was 81
stroyed three thousand years ago, an
the other by the Mongolians in the
tenth century of our era. The en-
placement of the two cities is now COW
cred, owing to the shifting sands and
desert winds, with arrange and hetero-
reneous relies, broken china, kitchen
utensils and human bones. The ma
tives often find copper and gold coins,
ingots, diamonds amd tprquoises, and,
what is most remarkable, broken glass
Cofflns Of some underlying wood or
material are there also, within which
beautifully preserved embalmed bodies
are found. The male mummies are all
enormously tall, powerfully built men,
with long, wavy hair. A vault was
found with twelve dead men sitting in

were closed with golden disks and the
laws held firm by golden circlet rum
ming from under the chin across the
top of the head. Clad in marrow
woolen garment, her bosom was COW
cred with golden stars, her feet being
left naked. To this the lecturer adds
that all along the way on the River
Tchertchen they heard legends about
twentv-three towns buried years ago
by the sands of the desert The same
tradition exists on the I.ob-nor and in
the oasis of Kerva.

According to aold weather records
kept in Remington, W., the month OF
February, 1s42, Was decidedly tropical
as compared with the current month,
which some regard as unusually mild.
The record quoted by the Troy Times
states that in the carly part Of the
month in that year there was little
frost in the ground and showers were
frequent. The Vermont State Hammer
now the bennington Banner says
that ON the Sd of the month Mr..
Ford brought into the Office a handful
of grasshoppers. Squirrels had made
their appearance and it was reported
that frogs had been seen in the ponds.
Rev. e. w Hooker, ID. D., pastor OF the
old First church at Bennington Center,
became alarmed over such continued
mild weather for this latitude and pre-
dicted that dire results would follow,
and to the credulous 1t subsequently
seemed as though the good Doctors
words had the ring of prophecy in
them. But, though the morning rose
bright and sunny and a south wind
blew soft and springlike, few hearts
expanded with the sunshine of hap
piness. The scarcity of money
was unexampled. Nothing but due
bills were IN circulation. The la
| boring man could find little or
nothing to do. and he seldom heard the
ring of coin or the rustic of q bank
note. June II Of the same year there
was clustering snow-storm, the snow
| falling to the depth Of three inches.
June IA there was a slight frost, and
at subsequent periods in the same
| month the weather was so severe that
ice formed a half inch thick Abreath
! of icy wind swept through the valley.
All vegetables, except those Of the
most hardy Sort were cut down. Many
/ remembered DIR. Rockers words, and
some thought the bad weather was a
Judgment sent upon them for finding
faultwith the times. In that year one
of the largest ablishments the town
ever had, the Bennington Furnace
company, failed, owing to the unprec
edentedly low price of pig iron and
the fear of the Walker tariff, which
was finally embodied in law In 1886

MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND.

It Will probably be admitted that
there can be no higher authority in
matters Of social etiquette than the
"frst lady of the land" especially if
that lady is the much admired and
oft quoted Mrs. Grover Cleveland.
1t is often said by society ladies': 81
do not like intoxicating drinks my
self, and I know they will harm any
one who uses them to any extent.
But the customs Of society are such
that cannot hold my social position
and be total abstainer."
On the 10Th Of last February, a
great convention was held in Wash
ington, D. c., at which time the
famous w. c. 7. U. petition OF two
million names was presented for the
first time in public. AT the close of
the convention Miss Francis E. Will
lard and Lady Henry Somerset were
invited TO meet Mrs Cleveland in
one of the parlors of the White
House, where they had, with that
charming and most womanly of
woman, delightful interview Of half
an hour.
They assured Mrs. Cleveland of
the esteem and affection in which
she was held by all white ribboners,
and expressed their earnest appre-
citation of her teetotal habits. Mrs.
Cleveland responded that she had
found no difficulty in carrying out
her principles, but that on the con-
trary she had been frequently spoken
to on the subject, in the most cordial
terms, and that it was now consider
ed good form in any one whose sense
of duty might lead him or her to
practice total abstinence from the
use of intoxicants in social life.
The report further says: The
Presidents wife has never gone
through even the form of a wine
glass at her plate; though every
other at the State dinner table was
marked by half dozen, hers had
simply water glass. Mrs. Carlisle
is also total abstinence woman, and
has been all her life. The punch
bowl has no place in the home Of
the Secretary of the Treasury, and
the wine glass at all times is con-
spicious by its absence. To this
memorable law Mrs. Carlisle makes
no exception, not even at cabinet"
dinners in honor of the President,
when guests must be content then,
as on all other occasions in her
house, with cold water. GLOW do
you do it Mrs. Carlisle?" friend
asked, sob, I just go ahead and do
it, and say nothing about it," was
Mrs. Carlisie's reply.-W. G. T. y.

Ouick Transatlantic Rnn.

Now that the feetness OF the trans
atlantic greyhounds seemed to have
attained the extreme Limit Of high
speed, the record breaking achieve
ments of the ocean steamships on
the great Western Sea may serve to
sustain the interest in marine record
breaking. The quickest transatlantic
run ever made between China and
the United States has just been &C
compIished by the American bark
Amy Turner of Boston, which cover
ed the waves between Hopgkong and
Baltimore in eighty-eighty days.
The Pacific records should now ex-
perience an era of lowering for
excitement's sake. A consensus of
opinion from the principle English
builders of the fast ocean steamships
discredits any such remarkable in
crease in ocean speed during the
decade as that which has been witness
sed during the past ten years.

to the builders works and been fitted
with new triple expansion engines,

mediation has also been renovated,
the saloon redecorated, handsome
library fitted on the saloon deck and
also a commodious smoking room,
both being in the style of the most
recently built White Star steamers,
but on correspondingly smaller
scale. The Coptic left the basin on
her trial trip on January 9Th, under
the command of Captain Lindsay,
and after satisfactory run left for
Cardiff to take in coal for Hongkong,
where she will resume her place on
the Occidental and Oriental Line of
steamers running between that port

National Cane Shredder
CPATENTED UNDER THE LAWS nv
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the l25
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the eXtrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to 78 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoOns.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
