r I I .1 J, k TOATEU OF SKULLS. Thn Chaallr fight l bp Urm nn nn Ialnnd off Ihp C'onnl of Afrirn. A porrpapondont of a New York ymppr, vio dnfoH Lis letter "Off the African Ciint," tolls this torriblo story of Enst t rn TDiRoanre : llwulinir southward I loi the Tunisian Rcn-lnarl in one of the litMo coasters villi which these wa ters abound, you find in the angle form i ; d by the intersection of the Tunis coast . " ' lina and that of Tripoli a large, low, I; nearly circular island, which at first sight appears fully as barren and desolate as the gray inending sands of the African '? ' shore along the southern horizon. Your y j map will tell you that this uninviting j j ' sandbank is called the Isle of Jerbeh, a i J name which, unless you happen to bo 1 ' ' unusually well read in the chivalrio ; chronicles of the sixteenth century, will probably leave you just as wise as you were before. Apparently, however, your Arab fellow-passengers aro better in formed, for the first glimpse of the island eeoms to produce an extraordinary com- motion among them, llamls are eagerly , v. pointed at the long grayish-yellow band j '! which lies almost level with the smooth i , krigh water, and the slumberous black t ' eyes flash lire under the shallow of the huge white turban, while the name of Burj-er-Roos" Hies from mouth to mouth. Even should you happen to have learned Arabic enough to know . ! ; that this mysterious word means "tower of skulls," yon are hardly likely to be . j very much enlightened thereby. The obtain of the vessel, should he be an ', Englishman, will give you but little help in your embarrassment, answering , , your appeal for information onlyby a ' , knowing grin and an admonition to ! " keep your eyes open and you'll see a ' pretty queer sight before long." Little j by little a huge, grayish-white mass be , gins to define itself upon the flat, sandy ; shore of the island, standing up gaunt ; and grim against the warm, dreamy blue of the lustrous sky. As wo ap proach, this formless heap gradually shapes itself into frown ing ramparts and turreted ' battle ments and massive towers and all tne barbario grandeur of a genuine Eastern fortress. At its feet the bright blue sea breaks in glittering wavelets, while be j hind it an oasis of rich foliage amid I the hot, brassy yellow of the sandy , j shore the vast banner-like leaves of the '; date palms droop voluptuously upon the ; breezeless air. No painter could wish a finer study, but the most striking s feature of the panorama isjfctill to come. A sudden turn of the coast reveals a -projecting headland, surmounted by a tall white tower, at sight of which the shouts of " Burj-er-Eoos ! Burj-er-Itoos!" burst forth again with re-: doubled energy. The strange building is cone-shaped, and altogether not un like the giant ants' nests of Africa or South America, but many yards in height and resting upon a base as broad as that of a cathedral tower. Moment ; i by moment, , as the ship nears the land, this mysterious structure 1 , stands out more and more plainly. It is not long before you begin to notice that the seaward face of the tower has crumbled beneath the action of wind H and weather, revealing through a wide t ' gap the dark hollow of the interior. As you gaze, there breaks suddenly out of its gloomy shadow, just where the light enters it, a yellowish, ghostly ' glimmer, like dim lanterndight seen in 1 . a vault. You have recourse to your glass, and perceive with a momentary thrill of horror, that this strange glim j raering proceeds from the teeth of thous ands of human skulls, which rill up the whole interior of the building, v This is the famous " Burj-er-Roos," f. or Tower of Skulls, which, for three centuries past, has given to this remote r nook a strange and terrible renown, t JThe vengeance of Timour has left upon !' the banks of the Oxus more than one Golotha of this kind, which I had an unexpected chance of examining during the Khiva expedition of 1873. In Europe, however, there is but one sim ilar monument, which, as might be ex pected, belongs to Turkey, the only European country in which such a relio of utter barbarism would not be out of place in the nineteenth century; The traveler who rides along the great southern highroad from Belgrade to the Sofia Pass over the Balkan, sees by the wayside a pyramidal building in which are imbedded 30,000 human skulls. Nor does this ghoul-like memento date back to any remote age of half human ferocity. It is no older than the year 180(1, when Servia's declaration of independence was answered by Turkey with the massacre which have left those SO.OOO Christian heads a lasting memo rial of what the " unspeakable Turk " has always been and always will be. But among all these trophies of death there is not one which can claim to be either as well-preserved or as hideously artistic as the fatal tower of Jerbeh; It seems as if those who planted it here for an eternal monument of their ven geance had taken a grim pleasure in making it imjierishable as the hatred by which that vengeance was devised. The skulls are ranged in symmetrical layers, like shells in the cases of a museum. each layer being supported upon a kind of trestle-work formed from the larger bones of the skeletons which has served as the materials of this ghastly architecture. The care with which everv bone has been nlaced. and the gradual tapering off of the higher tiers toward the point of the cone so far as to lesson the strain imposed upon the basement, render the whole struc ture as solid as a pyramid of stone. Ho strong, indeed, is its stability through out, and so carefully has the outer coat ing of sun-baked clay, which binds the whole together, been laid on that the storms of more than three centuries have been powerless to work it any farther harm than the gup in its seaward face. Accounts vary as to the total number of skulls which it contains, but by com paring the the statements of the old Christian chroniclers with those of local tradition, one may safely assume that this gloomy old mausoleum has absorhMsl info itself the lives fit at lna.it twenty-live thousand men. ! From the natives themselves thereis I i.t Jittlo ti) be gleaned respecting this k is catastrophe, save the vague and 1 tradition of a great victory ' y i wir I'.Tt-iaiJiM'fl upon iaii , spot, and the extermination of a vast number of "unbelieving dogs." But when you turn to the Christian histor ians of the period, you find the story complete in every detail, told with a graphic minuteness and childlike sim plicity worthy of llerodotus or of Frois sart. And a grim study it is one of the most collossal tragedies of that strangs era when everything, whether for good or for evil, was done upon a gigantio scale. The drama opens, as if to heighten the tragio effect, with the joyous departure from Malta, in 1501, of Count La Ccrda and his splendid armament, to conquer the city and principality of Tripoli in the name of Phillip II. Gal lantly do the doomed men sail forth in the glory of the summer morning, upon the fatal venture frotn which they are never to return. The smooth, bright sea echoes with their jests and laughter, and the rising sun lights up their glit tering anus and fantastic bravery, while above them floats the banner of that cross whose spirit alas! is so widely different from their own. But even during the short southward voyage we hear of many things which bode no good to the adventure. "Little prayer or chanting of God's praise was to be heard among them, but many foul oaths, much drinking and dicing, unseemly jests, and godless revelry; for they wist not of the evil to come, God having blinded their eyes, to the intent that He might make His judgment upon them the heavier." Meanwhile La Cerda himself drinks deep and boasts loudly, in a fashion that may well make us augur ill for the success of an expedition commanded by such a leader. But at the first glimpse of the strong walls and bristling cannon of Tripoli, this braggart's conrage cools at once. Ho dispatches a swift galley back to Malta for heavy artillery, and meanwhile, al tering his course, suddenly sweeps down upon the undefended island of Jerbeh. At first he is only too successful. The island i3 swept with fire and sword, the unprepared enemy slaughtered without nftrcy, and the only daughter of their principal chief, Yokdah, cruelly out raged by Juan de la Saera, bravest and worst of the profligate cavaliers of Spain. Watching a moment when her captor's attention is diverted from her, the for lorn girl snatches up a dagger and stabs herself to the heart, invoking with her last breath the vengeance of God upon those who profaned the service of heaven with the deeds of hell. From this point onward the shad ows of coming destruction gather ever darker and darker around the doomed host. " "When word was brought to Yokdah of what had chanced, he an swered nought, but gripped the hilt of his cimeter till the blood started from his fingers. Then his lips moved, but no man wist what he spake; howbeit, they might well guess by his look that is boded no good to them of Spain." The bereaved father has not long to wait for his vengeance. As if heaven itself had doomed them, the Spanish veterans, flushed with their easy victory, relax their wonted vigilance, and give them selves up to the wildest excess of de bauchery. Like lightning from a clear sky, destruction falls upon them in the midst of their fancied security. Two smaller detachments, scattered through the outlying villages, are cut off to a man, and Yokdah's fierce swordsmen, with their thirst for vengeance still unslaked, sweep onward to attack the main body, which lies in the town of Gerba itself. At dead of night the Spaniards are startled from their drunken sleep by the yell of "Allah Ackbar!" (God is vic torious,) and instantly the whole town is one whirl of struggling figures and tossing arms and blazing torches and flashing weapons and hellish uproar and merciless butchery. But such a combat is too unequal to last. Outnumbered and unprepared and basely abandoned by their pusillanimous leader, the inva ders are soon driven pell-mell down to the shore, where the scene culminates in a scene of horror worthy of Dante : " The Christians, being put the worse, flung themselves into the sea, thinking to fly unto their ships ; but even thither did the infidels pursue them, raging like savage wolves. Thus was the fight waged in darkness amid the waves of the sea a thing un thought of heretofore. And with such rage did they grapple one another that many sank and were drowned thus locked together, refusing to quit their hold. Many also were slain with the sword, and many more, being borne down by the weight of their armor, perished miserably. Of all that had been in the town, none escaped; and last of all died Juan de la Saera himself, whom God's vengeance suffered not to live. For when he had well nigh gained the ships.a Saracen grappled him and would have slain him, but Yokdah, the chief, cried aloud, Harm him not; I keep him for my own prize !' And by the force of many he was taken alive, and was dragged back to the shore, Then the infidels, the battle Vxing ended, gathered the heads of them that were slain and built them into a tower; and Saera, when he had endured many and grevious torments, such as none but Saracen wit could de vise, was beheaded, and his head laid on the summit of the pile bv Yokdah. their prince, as being a fitting crown for sucn a monument. An Actor's Practical Jokes. The late Mr. Sothern's comical con trivances were endless.

Pure milk condenRod to one-third will remain sweet from five to ten days in warm weather. Temper in animals is hereditary ns well as in man; it is not desirable to brood from a vicious siro. Good milk requires good, sound food, and a large yield of milk requires a large supply of good, sound food. Harness oil mado of one gallon of neatsfoot oil, with four ounces of lamp black, well mixed, is simple and effect ive. The man whose watering-trough is not dry, and whoso stock can drink their fill under cover, has much to bo thankful for. Spent tan bark has been plowed into a compact clav soil with the best results, as it rendered the soil mellow and in creased its warmth. Pastures that have been fed a few sea sons will generally produce- more milk, or make more fat, than those which have been newly seeded down. Charred corn is ono of the best things which can be fed to hens to make them lay. It must not be fed as a regular diet, but in limited quantities each day( To heavily feed a cow of some milk ing capacity is very poor economy. Rich food will produce good results when fed to cows that give large quantities of rich milk. A teaspoonful of powdered charcoal a quart of bran, and refuse from the table, mixed and moistened with warm water, are the ingredients of a capital egg-producing food for hens. Soils are improved by mixing. The physical properties of the soil have an important influence upon its average fertility. The admixture of pure sand with clay soil produces an alteration which is often beneficial, and which is almost wholly physical. The sand opens the pores of the clay and makes it more permeable to the air. Flak is a crop which would follow a clean cultivated crop of sugar beets or mangels. It can only be grown to ad vantage on well fertilized lands. Mr. W. W. Higbee, Charlotte, Vt. writes to the American Cultivator that the dry summer of 1880 demonstrated in his neighborhood that auimals had better go short of food, with plonty of pure water, than run in grass knee deep with half enough to drink. " In many instances in pastures where there was lack of water, young stock and beeves actually grew poor, and did not command as much in the fall as they would have brought in the spring." Household Hints. In icincr cakes, the knife should be frequently dipped into cold water. Cool rainwater and soda will removo machine grease from washable fabrics. Parsley eaten with vinecar will re move the unpleasant effects of eating onions. If vonr coal fire is low. n. tnliinHiinnn. . t , ful of salt thrown on it will help it very much. Oil-cloth should be cleaned with milk and water; a brush and soap will ruin it. A teaspoonful of turpentine boiled with your white clothes will aid the whitening process. Cakes, puddings, etc., are improved by making the currants, sugar and flour hot before using. A spoonful of stewed tomatoes in the gravy of either roasted or fried meat is an improvement. In boiling meat for soup cold water should be used to extract the juices. If the meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge in boiling water at once. Water standing for a night in a close or crowded room absorbs the impure air, and becomes very unwholesome and positively injurious to health. Be care ful not to use water that has stood in a lead pipe. All sorts of vessels and utensils may be purified from long retained smells of every kind, in the easiest and most per fect manner, by rinsing them out well with charcoal powder, after the grosser impurities have been scoured off with sand and water. In washing oil-cloths, as we have be fore advised, never use any soap or a scrub brush. It will destroy an oil eloth, that should last for years, in a short time. Use instead warm water and a soft cloth or flannel, and wipe off with water and skim-milk. Tea drinkers nowadays will do well to' apply the following simple tests to the tea purchased of their grocers. Turn out the infused leaves, and if they are found a good brown color, with fair substance, the tea will be wholesome; but if the leaves are black and of a rotten texture, with an oily appearance, the tea will not be fit to drink. The purer the tea the "more the distinctively brown color of the leaf strikes the attention. The mixing that is frequently adopted to reduce prices results in the two kinds of leaves being supplied together. It is important to see that the leaves have the serrated or saw-like edges, without which no tea is genuine. A Cunning Cat. A gentleman who took a trip from Carson City, Nev., into the country, when on the plains, a. mile from any house, noticed a cat, a huge one, almost as large as a fair-sized dog. It was lying upon the ground, its feet upper most, in such a way that he had no doubt that it had fallen a victim to some vicious dog. Around it, feeding unsuspectingly, was a flock of young birds. The apparent lifeless cat was within range of the vision of the ob server for some time, and just when he was thinking how much easier it would be for an animal to feign death and catch a bird by deceiving it than by slipping up to it, he was astonished to see the cat suddenly roll over and grab one of the feathered tribe that was very near. ine other birds new away ahun dred yards or so aud alighted. The cat only made one or two mouthfuls of the game, and then crept around to the windward of the birds, laid itselt out again, and once more played success fully he dead dodge. The gentleman droveaway without seeing how many birds (it took to satisfy th fvlin. MihvauJipn Scn'iitcl.
