A recipe for sweetly perfumed sachets
never comes amiss, and as the one given
here is detested by moths just as in
fnitely as it is enjoyed by human be-
ings, the mixture is well worth MAX
ing. Take one ounce each of cloves,
nutmeg, cinnamon, carraway seeds,
mace and tonka beans, pound to pow
der, and mix them with six ounces of
orris root, which must also be in pow
der. These ingredients may be OBJ

muslin, and the miller's sack design,
with the opening tied round with rib
bon, is a good one.

The patient was far gone; it was the opin-
ion of all that he could not live but few
moments Just as the breath was about to
leave his body, one of the physicians, a gen.
tleman of culture, and graduate of one of
our best colleges, remarked Poor fellow, he
looks badly" At this the dying man opened
his eyes, jumped up in bed, and shouted:
who is the villain who desecrates my
deathbed by his solecisms?" Then he glared
at the culPrit and continued: NO, sir, |
am not looking badly. | admit l look bad,
but not badly, for | am not cross-eyed."
And from that moment he began to re-
cover, while the canker of remorse began its
work upon the heart of the offender, and ere
many days his name was to be found in the
obituary column of the village paper.-Bos-

in the back of the neck, and is just the
thing for those who wear braid.
1t requires a yard and half of rib
bon and half yard of silk to match.
Cut from the silk four circular ruff1es
and sew upon the ribbon, beginning an
inch and half from the middle of the
back Cross the ends of the ribbon and
bring around and tie in knot in front.
If the hair is worn high very pref
ty way to deal with the Yvette is to sew
the circular rufies upon the ribbon,
leaving a plain space in front instead OF
the back. Carry the ribbon around the
neck, cross and bring to the front and
there knot. This is extremely becom-
ing TO all faces, and gives the chin lit
tie more space than the other way.

A peculiar natural wonder has been
discovered about three miles north Of
the famous wind cave in Fall River
County, South Dakota, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. Three men, a short
time ago, formed la company to de-
velop some mining claims, and selected
sites for two shaft. Mr.. Cramer
selected a location that had the appear
ance of internal disturbance, rs bowl
ders relying about in o manner that
indicated their having been thrown up
by IA upheaval, and q shaft was COM
menced. Blasting was started, and
when down about ten feet, rock was
taken out that assayed seven dollars
in gold. They went down but short
distance further, when they broke
through into a natural chimney, which
was about three feet across and ex-
tended to China, so far as their ability
to sound it has determined One Of
the men climbed down about forty
feet, and found no evidences of any
bottom. The walls are spiral-shaped,
like an anger, and are blackened as
though by internal fires. The most
curious varieties of mineral-bearing
rock have been found there, and speci-
mems now awaiting close examination
and selection for assay. The most
curious Of all is a black stone that pull
verizes readily in the fingers, leaving
a black oily stain like plumbago. The
natural chimney will afford the pros
pectors a most excellent opportunity
to find out what there is in the earth
there, and is q lucky discovery. The
average prospector is obliged to go to
an endless amount of work and ex-
pense with diamond drills or shaft to
determine the character of the rock
underground, but in this instance the
prospectors have a shaft that is the
work of nature.

General Logan had always his
trionic touch. Even in the privacy Of
domestlcity he could direct a boy to
black his shoes with a dramatic air.
He was more than a hero t6 such val
cts as his democratic nature permitted
him. His horse has a natural right to
shamp and paw, and he to hold the
flag on high which the st. Gaudens
statue gives him in commemoration Of
one Of the truly dramatic incidents in
his career.-Boston Transcript.

A startling development in gunmak-
ing is the new automatic Hotchkiss
mitrailleuse. 1t fires off 500 or 600
infantry cartridges per minute. This
little marvel of mechanism performs
the most astounding functions with
twice the rapidity and more than the
accuracy of human intelligence. 1t
loads a gun, closes the breech, fires,
opens the breech again, throws out
the empty shell, and introduces q new
cartridge exactly Us soldier would do.
A gun barrel of extra strength Is
screwed in front of a movable breech
box which contains the operating
mechanism. Running on a parallel
line below this barrel is o hollow cylin-
der which communicates with the bar
rel by means of an orihce perforated
at short distance from the mouth. In
this cylinder is a cogged piston.
When the shot is fired, as soon as the
ball has passed the orihce communicate
ing between the barrel aud the cylin-
der, the gases from the powder pene-
trate the chamber in front Of the pis-
ton and push it back to a position
where it is held by catch. When
the trigger is once more pressed the
catch is released and the liberated pis-
ton flies back to its initial position by
means Of a spring.

eucy ho either lies upon his bed and
gazes on the stars, or II In restless
wood takes long walks out into tho

gin work in his little shop just north
Of the house. An old man walking
with q cane is o very familiar sight in
Suites neighborhood SO widely
known has his insomnia became that
all the residents thereabouls call him
''Tho man who never sleeps"
Suite attributes his sleeplessness
10 q noise which continually roars in
his head like cataract At times IL
sounds like the buzz and whirr Of
wheels saving their way through heavy
timber. Again tho sounds resemble
escaping gsteam, and at times they
miagle in a horrible, deafening roar.
Owing 10 tho noises in his head Suite
f, does not hear readily.
He says that the ringing in his ears
was caused by an overdose Of quinine
which was administered 10 him in 1872.
He took Gfty-two grains at one dose,
and when he woke up the next day he
heard q noise in his head which has
remained there ever since, keeping him
awake every day and night for twenty
five years.
THE Man Who Never Sleeps" Is
seventy years old. He carries his age
gracefully aud does not look the worse
for his long siege Of wakefulness. He
Is strong, powerfully built man, and
shows slight trace Of age. During the
Mexican War he served under Colonel
Jefferson Davis as a drummer. In the
Civil War he fought gallantly under
the stars aud bars.
Suite is a church member, and is
said to be truthful. His claim that he
has not slept for twenty-five years is
given credence in the neighborhood.
His own family is not able to dispute
it, because they are always asleep dur
ing the time the old man says that he
is awake. The craving for uncon-
seriousness has entirely disappeared,
and he finds refreshment in simply
closing his eyes and lying still as long
as possible ina calm repose.-St. Louis
