1t may apbear strange to those who
are acquainted only with the present
state Of English towns to be told that
in the reign Of Queen Elizabeth, Will
liam Harrison, chaplain to William
Lord Gotham, in his Description of
England prefxed to Holinshed's
Chronicles" stated that 'the greatest
part of our building in the cities and
good townes of England CONSISTENT
onelie Of timber, for as yet few Of the
houses of the commonaltie Except
here and there in the West Countrie
towns) are made of stone, although
they may Tin my opinionD in diverse
other place be builded so good cheaps
of the one as Of the other" Here, We
see. brick is not even limited at; but
when the writer comes to speak Of
country mansions, he mentions 1t as
recently introduced. ''The ancient
manours and houses Of our gentle
man." he says, "are yet and for the
most part of strong timber, In framing
whereof our carpenters have beene
and are wothilie preferred before those
of like science among all other ma
tons. Howbeit, such as be latelie
builded are commonlie Of either bricke
or hard stone, or BOTH" There are

The United States Calvary Horse.

No army in the world, perhaps, has
had the same opportunities to test the
endurance Of cavalry horses as has
the small regular force of the United
States. The long, level stretches OF
the plains and the activity of the
marauding Indiana mounted on his
tireless broncho have been the condi
tons which gave to Uncle Sans cal
alrymen his matchless chances fol-
long forced mounted marches. Col.
onel Theodore Ayrault Dodge, U. s.
A., collected the official records OF
long distance cavalry rides, and has
made them public so that they may be
compared with the performances OF
the soldier hOrsemen of other nations
Colonel Dodge declares specifically
that he has rejected all "hearsay rides
Of which there is no end" and has &C
cepted only those proved by official re.
ports. Colonel Dodge says that Cap
tain s. f. Fountain, United States
cavalry, in the year 1891, with a de,
tachment of his troop, rode eighty.
four miles in eight hours. This rec.
ord is vouched for, and it is better
than that Of the Natal Mounted Rifles
by about four hours, the distance be-
ing within one mile of that made in
South Africa. For actual speed this
forced march stands perhaps at the
head Of the American army record
though other rides have been more re.
markable.

About re years ago, when the
first goI N took place to the Wits
watersranu gold fields, the place was
only approached by road; there were
no railways for some years afterward.
LAUNDERING mail coaches brought the
miners from Kimberley or Natal to
johannesburg.
On the road were stopping places
where the teams were changed and
the passengers refreshed. These
houses were usually Boer farms, and
the farmers made good thing out of
dispensing hospitality to wayfarers.
In the middle Of a long table stood
the dishes. Everyone helped himself
by digging a two-pronged fork into
the dish nearest him. There was no
tablecloth; everything was dirty and
unappetizing. But the farmers wives
are clever at making preserves, and
they particularly excel in a prepara-
ton Of tangerines preserved in sugar
syrup. Slices Of melon, pumpkin and
ounces are also preserved this way.
The clingstone or yellow peach, which
grows on every farm, makes a splen.
did jam, and dries excellently. But
the best preserves is made of stoned
and sun-dried apricots, fiattened and
picked with salt and sugar.
Boer housewives are very fond of the
old Dutch dainties of New York de-
scribed by Washington Irving and eat
en- to this day-"oily keoks," o rdough-
nuts fried in fat.

From the Bottom Of the Ocean.

The material brought up from the
bottom is of great value as indicating
the state of the water and sea floor.
Over a large part of the ocean the
bottom is covered with light pow
derry mass called ooze.
1t Is made of the shells or tests Of
little animals that can hardly be seen
without microscope, that have died
and settled to the bottom as snow
flakes settle through the atmosphere
to the earth. This is the sort of de-
post that made our beds of limestone
ages ago, and it is the best kind Of
resting place for cable, for 1t sinks
into the soft, fluffy mass and is pro-
tected from harm. Ooze shows still
water. for a current would wash 1t
away as a wind blows snowfiakes, and
If the floor sloped steeply the ooEe
would slip down like sand on roof,
so when the rod shows ooze it indi-
Gates calm, still water and a nearly
level floor. A hard bottom of gravel,
rock or clay shows a current that
should be avoided If possible. Near
shore the refuse from the land may
heap up into piles of rotting matters
that may be injurious, and some kinds
of sea weeds are said to have done
damage, perhaps by the iodine they
contain.-Washingto Star.

Where Almonds Are Grown

Almonds grow well in the middle
and southern part of France, and
while the shell Is soft, green and
tender the nut is sold largely as a
table article. The meat is white and
creamy. Hazlenuts are always high
priced and are luxury. The peanut
is rarely eaten in France, though the
taste for it is growing. 1t is import.
ed In enormous quantity for it's oil.
A few years ago there was a good deal
of talk about the merits of bread made
OF peanut -four, and it was thorough
~ tested in the German army. where.
for little while, it was a part of the
ration issued to a number of regi-
ments. 1t was declared to be too
highly concentrated and an irritating
kind of food, and the soldiers didn't
like it. The use of peanut -four was
accordingly discontinued.

Latest Thing n Dentistry

Paper teeth are the latest thing In
dentistry. For years some substance
has been sought for which could re.
place the composition commonly EN-.
ployed for making teeth, and fortune
awaited the man who was lucky
enough to hit up the right material
Although paper has some disadvaH-
tages, they are small compared to its
many qualifications, and paper teeth
are likely to be used exclusively-at
least until q more perfect material Il
found.
Up to this time china has been used
almost entirely, but it presents so
many disadvantages that dentists al.
ways have been on the lookout for
some other substance which could re.
place it. Not only does china not re-
sist the action Of saliva and turn
black, but china affects the nerves of
the jaws.
People who wear false teeth often
complain of suborbital neuralgia, and
this is put down by many dentists as
being caused by the heat or cold act.
ing on the china or porcelain. Porce-
lain or mineral composition also IL
liable to chip or break, and for these
reasons has never been satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made Of papier
mache, which is submitted to a ire
mendous pressure until it is as hard
as required. Their peculiar compost
ton renders them cheap, and the price
of set Of teeth will go down consid.
erably owing to the new invention.

cause impurities from wash cloths and
sponges had been rubbed into the
skin, to its infection.
II the face is oily and filed with
fine blackheads, the latter can be re-
moved by rubbing them with a soft
cloth dipped in alcohol or in equal
parts of cologne and water; the latter
will cleanse the face better than any
thing else, acting upon the skin as a
gentle stimulant. The contact of the
fingers with the face seems to have a
vivifying effect. 1t is easy while thus
dashing the water in the face to mas
sage 1t and bring the blood to the sur
face.
If, however, the face has not been
carefully looked after in the manner
described, If the oily matter has been
allowed to collect in the glands and
enlarge their orifices and the face is
dotted with those unsightly accumula-
lions, the work Of getting rid of them
is no easy matter. Some Of the largest
may be rubbed out with the soft cloth
dipped in cologne and water, especial
ly IL the face is first steamed; but IL
this method is not sufficient, those re-
naming must be pressed out, one by
one, using a watch key. The hole OF
the key is placed over the point, a
quick pressure is made and the con-
tents of the gland pushed out. To
allay the irritation the face should be
washed with very hot water after this.
and care should be taken that too
many of the blackheads are not remov-
ed at one time.-Harper's Bazaar.

/. Amu.smsnts for Little Folks.

AmuSomonIS TOT Iittio roAW
There was once q mother with sew
eral children, who, being . poor wo-
man, had all her household work to
do. She often toiled far beyond her
strength, yet she was never too busy
to get up some little scheme for
amusing the CHILDREN, and, AZ the
years taught her experience. she de-
vised something at the outset Of a
busy day. She took half an hour to
start the mimic housekeeping in the
playhouse, or she began the building
Of fort and got out the toy soldiers,
or she took a stick, il the morning
was in summer, and addressed it
thus:
"You look like a stick, but you are
really little shepherd boy, with long
brown hair hanging down your back.
You are dressed in goatskins, and you
have a pipe In your hand on which
you can play the most beautiful tunes.
Over yonder are wild and savage
mountains" pointing to the woodpile
and the hillocks by the orchard, "but
there are not recesses in them so wild
that you do not know them. There
are NO caves which you cannot find.
and we shall probably need these
| caves very much, when we are chased
by robbers or by hungry wolves.
Also you know where the kind and
good people live who will give us
| goat milk to drink and cakes OF
brown flour to eat. Perhaps you
know the peasants hut where the
fairy princess is hidden, and may
help me to return her to her mother
the queen, who weeps for her in q
gorgeous palace of pink glass"
With that the mother would hand
over the stout little stick she had cut
to the child, who. wide-eyed and smil-
ing, stood waiting to receive it, and
who ran with it toward the woodpile
to begin the ascent of the mountains,
whose towering peaks were visible to
the eyes of her imagination.
The child, entranced with the story
and at her own Celebrations Of it.
would not return until the hour fol
dinner, and then she would come in
glowing and with an appetite, while
the mother, who had been without
the vexatious Interruptions Of an un
easy little girl, was eager to greet her

Whom 1 rocked just as do you.
His hair was soft as yellow silk,
And his eyes were like violets blue.
His little hands were like plnk-tipped
flowers:
See. yours are so strong and brown.
He has slipped away, and is lost, I

Did my voice half break a. the
thoughts would come
OF the sweet and sacred days
When motherhood's first joys were
mine?
Was a shade Of regret on my face?
For close round my neck crept Z

A Queer African Bud.

David Livingstone, the great African
explorer, tells us of bird which he
saw, known as the prison bird, so
named because from the time the nest
Is made until the little birds are old
enough to fly the mother bird is kept
q prisoner.
The nest is made by the old birds
pecking at the bark of hollow tree
until a hole is made in 1t, and 1t Is
there they build their nest; when that
is completed the bird settles herself
in it and her mate walls up the en-
trance, only leaving space enough for
air and food to pass through.
Should the father bird forget his
wife and little ones they would die,
but he is very faithful and keeps them
well supplied with food, and as soon
as the baby birds are able to fly he
destroys the barrier with his beak and
sets them all free.
