Unworthy of Public Confidence.
Mark Twain says "we left the train
lor Switzerland, and reached Lucerne
about ten o'clock at night. The first
discovery 1 made was that the beauty
of the Lake had not been exaggerated.
Within a day or two I made another
discovery. This was that the lauded
chamois is not a wild goat; that it is
not a horned animal; that it is not shy
that it does not avoid human society;
and that there is no peril in hunting it.
The chamois is a black or brown crea
ture, no bigger than a mustard seed.
\ou do not have to go after it; it comes
after you. it arrives in vast herds, and
skips and scampers all over your body,
mside your clothes. Thus it is not shy,
but extremely sociable. It is not afraid
of rnaii; on the contrary it w ill attack
him. Its bite is not dangerous, but
neither is it pleasant. Its activity has
not been over stated. If you try to put
your finger on it, it will skip a thou
sand times its own length atone jump,
and 110 eye is sharp enough to see
where it lights. A great deal of ro
mantic nonsense has been written about
Swiss chamois and the perils of hunt
ing it, whereas the truth is that even
women and children hunt it, fearlessly.
Indeed, everybody hunts it. The hunt
ing is going 0:1 all the time, day and
night, in bed and out ot it. It is poetic
foolishness to hunt it with a gun. Very
few people do that. There is not one
man in a million who can hit it with a
gun, It is much easier to catch it than
it is to shoot it, anl only the expe
rienced chamois hunter can do either.
Another common piece of exaggeration
is that about the scarcity of the cha
mois. It is the reverse of scarce. Droves
of 100,0e>0,000 chamois aro not unusual
in the Swiss hotels. Indeed they are so
numerous as to be a great pest. The
romancers always dress up the chamois
hunter in fanciful and picturesque cos
tume, whereas the best way to hunt
this game is to do it without any cos
tume at all. The article of commerce
called chamois skin is another iraud.
Nobody could skin a chamois. It is too
small. The creature is a humbug in
every way, and every thing which has
been written about It is sentimental
exaggeration. It was no pleasure to
me to find the chamois out, lor he had
been one ot my pet illusions. All my
life it had been my dream to see him in
his native wilds some day, and engage
in the adventurous sport ot chasing
him from cliff to clifl'. It is no pleasure
to me to expose him now, and destroy
the reader's delight in him and respect
for him, but still it must be done, lor
when an honest writer discovers an
imposition it is his simple duty to strip
it bare and hurl it down from its place
of honor, no nutter who suffers by it.
Any other course would render him
unworthy of thenublic confidence.
Grizzly Dan
Grizzly Dan, oi Montana was never
known to steal anything when sober,
but he says: ""When I'm drunk, any
thing 1 get these five lingers on is mine,
and don't you lorget ic." As an In
dian tighter, when under the controll
ing influence of drink, lie isalsoaholy
terror in Montana. He was onee set
upon by a whole tribe of howling
red devils, and was obliged to run for
bis life. lie headed for the brink of a
elifl about 700 feet high, dodging the
bullets fired at him as he ran, being
abie through long practice to tell the
course of a ball by the sound as it ap
proached from the rear. Grizzly Dan
unhesitatingly leaped over the cliff, to
the amazement of the Indians, who
gathered in a row to watch his fall. Dan
turned in the air as he was failing,
raised his Winchester rifle tohisshoul
der, and pulled the trigger. An In
dian toppled over with a ball through
his left eye, and Dan kept pulling the
level and trigger until seventeen of the
red devils had balls through their left
eyes and were falling over the cliff
after him. The eighteenth shot only
carried away an Indian's nose, as the
air was so full of falling Indians be
tween Dan and the top of the cliff that
his aim was a little confused. Hestruck
feet first in the river below and swam
ashore uninjured. The Indian re
maining on ihe top of the cliff was the
sole survivor of the tribe, and was ever
afterward known as "Man-with-a-hole
in-his-nose."
UungaiiaiiNKUd Roumanian*.
The Hungarians, ail who have trav
eled on the Danube know, are dandies
in their own fashion. They delight in
clean shirts, richly embroidered in red
and black; in cotton drawers or trou
sers, edged with lace and crochet
work, such as English ladies affect
upon their clothes, and in magnificent
Hessian boot 3, which are brushed to
brightness at least onee a week. The
male Roumanian, on the other hand,
is dirty and careless in his attire. A
filthy sheepskin jacket, swarming with
RTOOO IC .I-IVI FC AIIUCUI; SIIUIL trou
sers, of leather or the coarsest cloth,
and the everlasting conical cap, to
gether with some minor articles, among
which the pistol or knife, stuck in the
waist band, must not be forgotten, com
pleting his attire. But when we turn
from the men to the women we find
that the comparsion is reversed. Noth
ing can well be more wretched than
the dress of the Hungarian women on
the banks ol the Danube. At Mohacs,
for example, one saw them marching
down to the banks of the river to get
water, clad in a pair of their hasband's
enormous boots, a short petticoat,
scarcely reaching to their knees, and
a sheepskin jacket that also was evi
dently the property of their better half.
In Hungary, in short, while the man is
well dressed, his wife or daughter is
clad like a savage. In Roumania, on
the other hand, the dress of the women
is decidedly better than that of the
men, and offers a most favorable con
trast to that worn by their Hungarian
sisters.
A GREAT many ladies who save every
thing else waste their rose leaves.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SMALL CIDER MILLS.—In early times
in this country all the cider—and much
cider was then used —was made In large
mills, owned by individuals or firms,
whooperated them in the same manner
that grist mills were managed. Every
farmer brought his apples to the mill,
had them ground and pressed, and re
ceived the older that was produeod.
lie paid so much per barrel for having
his cider made. If he did not pay cash
the "miller" took ills toll In cider or
apples. The mills were of largo capa
city, so that a thousand bushels of ap
ples could be worked up in a day. As
a rule, a tarmer could take his app'es
to a mill, fix or eight miles from his
place, have them ground and pressed,
and return home with ins cider at
night. There was 110 greater loss of
time than in taking a tot of crn or
wheat to a grist mill. During the past
few years a large number of small mills
for grinding apples and presses for
squeezing the juice from them have
been sold. Farmers who made not
more than ten barrels oi cider per year
bought them. These small mills are
costly, liable to get out of ordei, not
easy to manage by persons unacquain
ted willi their use, aud certain to be
ruined in a few years if they are not
kept under cover. Old cider-makers
declare that these small mills and pres
ses are expensive to run, even if th y
are obtained lor nothing. They state
that only about three-fourths of the
juice contained in the apples can be ob
tained by their 'use, and that what is
obtained is ot very inferior quality.
The juice which is obtained by slight
pressure is almost entirely water,while
that which is rich remains in the pulp
unless a very heavy pressure is cm
ployed. It would seem to be very poor
economy to Invest 111 a mill and press if
one has but a small amount of apples
to work up. The iutereston the money
they cost would pay lor taking the ap
ples to a mill and having tiie cider
manufactured. One large cider mill is
sufficient to work up all the apples
raised iu a town, and it could do the
work more economically than it could
be done in a large number ot small
concerns. If several farmers can not
unite in erecting a suitable mile to be
operated on the co-operative plan it
would be better to pledge their patron
age to some person who would erect
and equip a good building- Experi
ence and skill are required for making
eider, and these are not likely to be ac
quired by persons who make out a few
uarrels of cider each year by the use of
a poor apparatus.
Cows UNDER THE WKATHKK. — Cows
are very sensitive to the influence ol
the weather. In bright clear days
their vital forces are more active and
vigorous, digestion is more rapid, and
assimilation and waste are more active
and secretions which, like butter, de
pend upon the destruction of tissue,
are more abundant. Lassitude is favor
able to transudation, because it relaxes
ihe delicate membranes ami makes the
passage of liquids easier, and con
sequently more abundant. Thus,while
tlie lats iu milk diminish, the albumi
noids Increase in muggy weather; and
yet a given weight oi milk makes less
cheese than in fair weather. This loss
iu cheese is owing to the fact that as
the albumen ot the blood parses over
into the milk vessels, the major part of
it is converted into caseiue, which is
coagulable by rennet, while albumen
is not. This change lrom albumen to
caseine is effected by the vital forces,
and is more or less complete as they
vary in strength. The greater energy
ot bright days increases the per cent of
caseine, and makes that of albumen
less, in muggy weather this is rever
sed. These changes often amount to
enough to make live percent, differ
ence in the yield of cheese hi favor of
good weather, while the total of albumi
noids, as shown by analysis, is the
greater in the muggy days. From the
decrease in fat and the increase of al
buminoids, which are heavier than fat,
the milk of the muggy days shows the
greater specitie gravity, and yields a
less per cent of buuer.
BUILDINGS MADE OK CONCRETE. —Few
farmers know how to builu a concrete
wall, yet it is a very simple job, and in
I many cases would prove an excellent
1 wail lor buildings and cellars. To
bulkl such a wall jou need to set 3x4
joists at the corners, then at intervals
i ol about eight leet along the outside ot
; the wall, placing the joists opposite
and about eighteen inches apart. On
the inside of the joist set up planks about
a foot wide. There will be fifteen
inches between these planks, which
will be the thickness of the wall. For
a large building, which would have
Heavy lloor timbers, the wall might be
two feet thick; for a piggery or other
small buildings it neeu not be so thick.
Have a cement made by mixing a bar
rel of good cement with three barrels
i fine plastering sand and four bam Is of
I clean gravel. Wet this when mixed
| so it w ill be thin enough to pour, and
fill between the planks about three
inches deep, then in that pack small
! -.tones as closely as possible—the more
| closely the stones pack the less cement
l it will take. Then pour on more ce
| ment and put in more stones, until
your space is full. The work must be
so planned as to use your cement and
get the stones in it before it has time to
I harden. For a heavy wall, planks may
, be raised in twenty-four hours after
! the space is filled. Raise them about
ten inches, and goon as before, lhave
seen a large barn built in that way
which has stood many years; costs
about the same as timber wall when
| built, and needs no paint, no shingles,
i no repairs of any sort, while the walls
are fire-proof and rat-proof.
IT IS smart enough to tell a fellow to

water, and can bo used for mending
glass objects likely to be exposed to hot
water. It can also be made available
for waterproofing articles such as sail s
or awnings, bat for flexible fabrics it is
not suitable* A few immersions will

flanges which dip into the mercury, and
thus form a tight seal. The cap is so

that, t>3 f lifting the lid, it is drawn into
a side chamber and allows free egress
of the contents. By the same movement
of shutting down the lid the cap is re

melted, is poured into the petroleum,
in the proportion of about tlfteeti parts
of the fatty acid to 100 of petroleum.
Alter thorough intermixture has been
effected by stirring, the combination
may be saponified in the usual way. It
is recommended, however, that animal
or vegetable fatty matter may be added
before saponification, so as to secure an
improved product—the proportions in
this case being two of acidified petrole
um to three of fat. Kither soda or pot
ash may be used in saponilying, the
hardness or softness depending on the
kind and proportions of alkali used.

The neve marine railway at Clifton, S.
L., was operated for the first time last
week. A large brig was hoisted high
and dry with success. The railway
consists of a great car, which somewhat
resembles one of the Kaat Kiver dry
docks, ex ept that it stands on wheels.
To this car are attached about five hun
dred feet of heavy chain. The car.
when placed in the water, is partly
sunk, to permit a ship to float into it;
then the car is raised and drawn with
the ship up on the beach by steam pow
er, the car chains being attached to an
engine stationed about five hundred
feet distaut on the shore. It cost many
thousands of dollars to construct the
railway.
It is, or it should be, known to every
physician at least, that electricity—a
shock from the battery—ls about the
only means to revive a person under
the dangerous effect of chloroform.
THK discovery of CARBOLIXE a deodor
ized extract of petroleum, has perfected
an improvement which will be hailed
with delight by thousands. The dense
oily properties of the petroleum have
been eliminated by a novel process
while its tonic, curative/vivifying and
reproductive elements and all retained
in increased activity. Besides being
the only real cure for baldness and
scalp diseases, as now improved and
entirely deodorized it is the most deli
cate and delightful tonic hair dressing
ever known. It will not stain a lady's
hat. This highly concentrated extract
of petroleum contains no minerals or
other artificial coloring matter. It
restores the hair by imparting new life
and vigor to the roots.
A FARMER in northwestern Arkansas

The OreMteflt In the World.
Without a question Buffalo, N. Y.,
can boast of the largest and most com
plete private Sanitarium in the world.
The Invalids' Hotel was founded by Dr.
R. V. Pierce, who was represented his
district as State Senator and in Con
gress, and is known throughout the
United States as the originator of Dr.
Pieree's Family Medicines, and has
also become widely celebrated in the
treatment of chronic diseases. The
erection of this mammoth home for
invalids was made necessary by the
large number of afllicted who flocked
to Buffalo from all parts of the United
States to consult I)r. Pierce and the
eminent medical gentlemen associated
with him as the faculty of this celebra
ted institution. The establishment is
said to have cost nearly a half million
of dollars, and is furnished witli every
appliance and facility for the care of
chronic ailments. A correspondingly
large branch institution is located in
London, England. The whole con
cern is owned and operated by the
World's Medical Association, of which
the original Dr. Pierce is President —
his brother, an uncle, and other emi
nent medical gentlemen taking part in
the treatment of cases. In treating
cases they are not at all confined to the
narrow limits of prescribing the justly
celebrated remedies, Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery, Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets, or any other set
remedies, however good, but resort to
the whole range of the Materia Medica,
is well as to Turkish and other baths,
Swedish movements and other approv
}d remedies and methods of cure.
Listen to This.
The unbiased opinions of some of the most

The remedial management of th<>se diseases peculiar to women lias afforded a large experience at*
the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, in adapting remedies for their cure. Many thousands ol |
cases have annually been treated. Dr. Pierce'* Favorite Prescription Is the result or this extended :
experience, and has become justly celebrated for lis many and remarkable cures of all those chronic dis
eases and
WEAKNESSES PECULIAR TO FEMALES*
Favorite Prescription is a powerful Restorative Tonic to the entire system. It is a nervine of un
surpassed efficacy, and while it tpiiets nervous irritation, it strengthens "the enfeebled nervous system,
thereby restoring it to healthful vigor. The following diseases are among those In which the Favorite
Prescription has worked cures as if hy magic, and with a certainty never lie fore attained, viz: Leucor
rh-a| rionwlve flowlne: pninfnl mrn-truiitlon; unnatural uppinlon,; weak back; prolapau*, or
ratlin* Of the uteri!*: untevemlon; rctrovcmlon; brsrlnc-iloivn KCIIOUIIOH; ehrmlß confriUoß, lnflam
mutton, and ulceration: Interuul heat: nervous deprcMdon; nervous and elcfc headache; debility;
and barrenneM, or sterility, wlicn not caused by 6tncture of the neck of the womb. Wlieu the latter
condition exists, we can, by other means, readily remove the impediment to the bearing uf offspring
(see Invalids' Guide Rook, sent for one stamp, or the Medical Adviser).
Favorite Prescription is sold under a positive guarantee. For conditions, see wrapper around bottle.
"DO LIKEWISE." —Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of New Castle, Lincoln Co., Maine, says. 44 Five years ago I
was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles. Having exhausted tiie skill of three physicians, I was
completely discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking
your 4 Favorite Prescription' and using the local treatment recommended in your' Common Sense
Medical Adviser.' I commenced to Improve at once. In three months 1 was perfectly cured, and
have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had
beeu restored, ami offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them and encloeino
a stamped envelope for reply. I have received over four Hundred letters. In reply, I have descrilieo
my case and the treatment used, anil earnestlv advised them to 'do likewise.' From a great many 1
have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the use ©f Favorite Prescrip
tion, sent for the 'Medical Adviser,' and applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down
therein, and were much better already." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is sold by all druggists, Q
