A MOhamm Rlunder

Eat the out-station of H, Mr.. J.
S, an old and respected tea-planter,
was church warden, and had charge of
the church and the arrangements for
service. To his old bearer had been
committed for years the task of pre-
pairing the holy table for the Lords
supper. Mr.. J. S was on the oc-
casion in question absent from the sta
ton on leave, and his place was sup
piled by planter not so conversant
with church matters. Accordingly, hay-
ing received notice of the chaplain's
intended visit, he ordered his bearer
"a very unecclesiastical person, as it
turned out) to prepare the church for
the padre sahib. Pir Buksh had no
idea what to do, and therefore went to
brother Mohammedan to consult with
him on the subject. Both of them had
heard that on these occasions a clean
white cloth was spread on the table
with bread and wine. This suggested
the whole arrangement. Imagine, then,
the vexation Ct the chaplain and church
warden and surprise and probably
amusement OF the congregation to find
knives, forks, plates and cold chicken,
as we'll as bread and wine '--"Indian

Made by Mrs. Andrew Jackson.

From the Nashville Banner: Edward
Dawson, of Cincinnati, has a rare relic,
which he values very highly. 1t is
suit of clothing, "homespun," made by
Mrs. Andrew Jackson for his grand
father, the Hon. Moses Dawson,
stanch Democrat, and warm friend of
Gen. Jackson. Mr.. Dawson frequently
visited the Hermitage. On one of his
visits to. Gen. Jackson Mr.. Dawson adj
mired suit of clothing of homespun
cloth that Gen. Jackson wore. 'They
are the result of home industry" re-
marked Gen. Jackson, "and Mrs. Jack
son made them. I have no doubt she
will make you a suit Mrs. Jackson
made the suit while Mr.. Dawson was
her guest. On his return Mr.. Dawson
spent several days in Nashville, where
he contracted cold. After he returned
home he, DESTROYS of exhibiting his suit,
attended several Democratic meetings,
and wore the clothing. He neglected
his cold, and it grew worse and devel-
oped into pneumonia, and he died

Some Queer Texts.

When ladies wore their 'topknots'
ridiculcusly high it occurred to Row.
land Hill to admonish them from the
pulpit, and he did it by means of the
words: "Topknot, come down." which
he evolved from Matt. XIV, II: LET
him which is on the housetop not come
down." Of course nothing but the ex-
ceeding quaintn9ss of the preacher
could have excused such liberty with
the sense and sound Of the sacred text
It was almost as bad as Swift's unique
ly brief discourse on the text, "IIe that
hath pity upon the poor lendeth to the
Lord '*My friends" said the dean,
as he closed the book, If you approve
of the security, down with the dust"
AS matter of fact it is usually only the
quaint preachers who do venture on
such liberties.- Chambers Journal

The geological garden of Stuttgart.

a glass eye, probably the only one in

was attacked with a peculiar disease
which deprived it If the sight of one
of It's eyes. It soon became 50 insight

den concluded to have the tiger killed.
At this juncture some one proposed
that a glass eye might be used
to advantage and a staff sof sur

the operation. The king Of the
jungle was placed under the influence
of cocaine, and with the help Of six
or eight men, all Of whom could scarce

eye was removed and new glass one
inserted. For few days the tiger
was in a wildly savage mood and tried
his best to claw the glass eye from its
place, but he finally, grew accustomed
to It, and now looks out quite calmly
upon his admiring visitors, many of
whom never suspect that he Is 4 one

Mrs. Rorer'S Cafe Parfait.

In making cafe parfait the cream
may be favored with chocolate, vanilla
or strawberry, the parfait taking the
name of the favoring., Use good,
thick cream, very cold: add to it half
pound Of powdered sugar, and gill
of black coffee; mix thoroughly; stand
the basin in pan of cracked ice, and
with wire egg-beater beat to froth.
This will take about five minutes. Put
the mixture into a mould, put on the
lid, cover the joint with piece of
Waxed paper, pack it in coarse SAT-
and ice, and stand aside for two hours.
OF It may be packed in the freezer and
served in tumblers. Mrs. S. T. Rorer

AFTER HARTEBEEsT.

They Can Set an Amazing Pace and
Keep It. 81 s.
Upon this bare plain, devoid as it is
of cover, it is hopeless to attempt to-
stalk, and indeed at all times these
wary and suspicious creatures are not
easily to be approached on foot, says
the Spectator. It is not long before
some of the hartebeest have got the.
hunters wind. These, early alarmed,
lose no time in cantering steadily off at
"a right angle and are presently lost to
sight. Still the hunters ride quietly on,
kicking their nags along at brisk walk
ing pace. More game move off, but still
others are left. See, a fresh troop has
taken alarm and now gallops for the
right hand. But the mounted man on
the extreme right at last sees his OPP
portunity. He pushes his horse hard
and succeeds in cutting off the troop,
they are making for-the selvage of
bush wonderland now the antelopes
wheel round upon their tracks and race
hard across the plain for the covert on
the far side. Down wind they will not
be driven, as their pursuers are we'll
aware. At first in their slower PAGES the
hartebeest seemed to move stiffly and
with little freedom. That is a char
acteristic of theirs, and many white
man, seeing them thus for the first
time, miscalls them in his ignorance
sluggish and donkey-like. But watch
troop of hartebeest really alarmed
and put to it. Few wild creatures of
the world can live near them. No
African hunting horse can run them
down, as it can the Gland, or sable ante
lope, or koodoo, or even the stanch,
staying gemsbok. Getting their hind
legs we'll under them, and moving with
wonderfully even, machine-like action,
the hartebeest, now in full career, cover
the grass plain at an amazing pace.
That pace, too, they can sustain I'M
abated for many a mile on end. In
racing parlance, the hartebeest can stay
forever.

A GOOD WINE YEAR.
The Wine Crop Larger Than for Two
Years.

INC Wine crop Larger IMAM Tor Two
Years.
Reports from California indicate that
the wine crop which is now being har
vested will be large, but as it is being
judged by that of last year and the
year preceding, when The crops were
unusually small, the vintage of 1857
is likely to be overestimat2d. Dealers
in California wine believe that the
good crop may have an effect on tie
prices of wine, but the best-informed
men in the trade laugh a. the idea Of
a good wine crop in California having
any effect on the European wine mar
ket. It is believed, by many people
that much California wine is sent to
Europe, and is bottled there and re-
turned to this country as French or
German product; but According to
what a noted expert recently said on
the subject there is little or no founda
ton for the belief 'tConslderable
quantities of our wine go abroad every
year," he said, "but hot to be reship
ped as something else. About three
thousand barrels go TO England every
year. The wine IS Do.tle:l there and
sold as California wine. Bremen and
Hamburg also receive and bottle
California wines, and some of our Cali
fornia product also goes abroad to wine
merchants who use it for blending or
mixing purposes, but all this talk about
our wines frequently making two trips
across the ocean is wrong"

BIRDS OF THE POLAR SEAS.
From Nansen's speech Before the Royal

4 From Nansen's Speech Before the Royal
Geogra phical Society.
On the spot where we spent bur last
4 4 Winter we did not see single Ross
gull, while on these islands, not many
miles to the northwest, it is quite a
i common bird, almost as common as the
ivory gull and the kittiwake. That was
the, reason that led me to believe that
Inc Ross gull was actually breeding
there. It may breed on the rocks on
the beach, like the ivory gull, or per-
haps on the ice; nobody knows. OF
course it is not probable that they
should breed on the ice; still, on these
islands there are but, few rocks. AS
T the president remarked, we saw little
auks in the north. but we saw more
doVekles. AS far north as we went in
the Fran we saw birds in the summer
time. 1t is extraordinary how far birds
VIII ny away from land. In June and
July, 1895. to the north of Franz Jo-
SET Land we could see flocks of little
auks and dovekies coming from the
Z south and then returning to the south
again. We understood that these birds
came from some land, and wished we
could follow them; but we had to tray
Ell for weeks and weeks before we came
to that land, which they probably
reached in few hours; and when set
tied for the winter in Franz Josef Land
we saw in the spring the birds (little
auks and dovekies) steer away out to
sea; we could see no water, but they
went straight out and returned after
twentyfour hours. The birds we saw
on board the Fran were mostly ivory
gulls and other gulls, dovekies, kitti-
wakes, Ross gulls, mallemocks, scures
and few little auks. These birds do
not prove that there was any land in
the neighborhood, as I think they may
be expected wherever there are water
lanes, because there they find plenty of
food-small crustaceans. The birds we
shot were almost full of shrimps and
small crustaceans. believe these birds
fly across the polar sea somewhere.

DRAG ROPE OF BALLOON.
First Suggested by the Famous Green
of England.

First Suggested by the Famous Green
of England.
1t is not generally known that the
loonists, was first used by Aeronaut
Samuel King of this city, says the Phil
adelphia Record. "The idea of using
such a rope says Prof. King, twas
first suggested by the famous Green OF
England. He called it guide rope and
he carried one with him in trip across
+, the English channel, but he never used
captive ascensions' at New Haven,
Conn, and, having finished that bust
ness, decided to take a short voyage to
test the value of the trailing rope. l
had $50 pounds of rope on my windlass
and on a certain day I arranged with
my assistant to cut the rope at the
windlass after had got my balloon in
the air and let me sail on. I ballasted
my balloon so that only half the weight
of the rope, or seventy-fve pounds,
should train. I got off all right, with
my rope twisting under me like
snake. A score of misguided laborers
in field, imagining that the balloon
had broken loose by accident, grabbed
the rope and held me. 1t took me some
time to convince them that I didn't
want to be stopped. I sailed along for
some time and found that the drag rope
gave greater stability to the balloon,
but the action of the sun upon the gas
worked against me. The suns heat,
expanding the gas, gave me false
buoyancy, picked up my seventyAfive
pounds Of rope and severed my connec-
tion with the ground. After that I used
the drag rope very frequently and it
was generally adopted by aeronauts."

Feeding . Family At Cost Of Eighteen
Cents Day for Each Person. u.s.
In the Ladies' Home Journal, Mrs.
s.. r. Rorer- tells how a family Of eight
persons can be fed and well fed-at
the aggregate cost of ten dollars Il a
week. She presents a bill-of-fare for
each meal, with suggestions for chang
Ing and varying them, and details how
to prepare the main dishes that enter
into her economical plan Of supplying
the family table. To carry out the
scheme" she says, articles must be
purchased economically, and. no waste
permitted. A table which is supplied
for family OF eight for ten dollars a,
week must, of necessity, be plain, but.
it may, at the same time, not lack for
variety or wholesomeness. Sweet
meats and rich desserts must be count.
ed only as occasional luxuries, and
company dishes must be omitted al
together. Meat, the most expensive
food item, may be purchased in much
larger quantity than is needed for a
single meal, and utilized French fash

this country must learn more about the
food-value of the legumens, more
about the proper preparation of food,
and last, but not least, more about the
proper combinations of food. Avoid
the buying of steaks, roasts and chops
each week. It is an expensive house
hold indeed which has no repertoire
of cheaper dishes. A beef's heart or
praised Calls liver makes an excellent
and economical change. Broiled
sleeps kidneys; with little bacon,
give good breakfast at cost of ten
cents. Smothered beef, which may be

What "Ocean Springs,' IA,

From the Milwaukee Sentinel: Ocean
Springs, the scene of the present cpl
demic, is the oldest French settlement
on the Gulf coast. In 1882 La Sale
and Tonty, after having explored the
Northwestern country, padded down
the Mississippi river to it's mouth and
claimed all the surrounding country
in the name of the French king. Sew
eral years later France sent out colon
lists, who settled at Ocean Springs,
which, however, they called Fort BIZ
loxi, the name having been changed in
recent years. The plague which visited
these early colonists from time to time
was probably nothing more nor less
than yellow fever.

The Number Thirteen.

From the Boston Journal: The SILL
perstition that thirteen is un1uckv
which is traced back to a sacred source
meets with as many contradictions as
combinations. The fact that the hor-
rl5le fire in the Paris bazaar started at
oooth thirteen was telegraphed all
around the world, whereas little notice
is attracted by Nansen's success with
thii'' cen men. At one time two was q
dreaded number in England, owing tn
the dynastic disasters to all monarchs
second of their name from Ethelred TT
to George II. Yet Napoleon's number
through his life was two, and VINO
could wish for better luck thar came
to Goody Two Shoes, or than that
which results at times from having two
strings to your bow? Three, which
since the days of Pythagoras has been
the divine number, shows that it is not
invariably fortunate, for, though the
fates are three, so also are the furies
The graces are three, but so also are
the judges in hades and the heads of
Cerberus. Then there are the records
of. three disloyal tribes in Welsh his
tory; there are the three robbers in
Orion's belt: there were the three tv-
rants at Athens, and three in myth
oiogy is as unlucky as it is divine
just SO clearly as it has been shown
in time that the unlucky two can be
lucky and that the pleasant three can
be unpleasant, the followers of the late
Capt. Fowler would show that the I'M
lucky thirteen can be the luckiest nub-
Der there is. So we may as well regret
his departure, while we wish success
