One flay (the old lsdy was oat, I presume) MIKW Muslin went up to grandmother's room, And. in "rnmmaging ronnd." found an old fashioned bonnet, Which she no sooner ssw thsn she i>oiinoefl straight npon it. And, woman like, putting it on the ssme minute, She ran to the mirror to view herself in it. "Well," she cried, M*be bowed in a matronly say, "If you're not just the picture of Grandmother Gray. "Now let's see-she went on-"yes, that's Jnst whst I'll do 1 I will put on her gown and her spectacles too. And I'll creep down the stairway as still as a monse, t And wt down in her chair, just outside of the house. So that grandfather, when before long he eomes by, Will not have the remotest idea it is I. Pat will think it u grandma. O. wont it be fun ! He jokes me all the time, and now I'll pay Mm one." So she dressed ;herself up in a new black silk gown That she found hanging 'there,—then crept stealthily down. And. going out ou the porch, she, with infinite care, Established herself in her grandmother's chair, — And, I'm certain, had anyone happeiied that way. They wonld never have dreamed twas uot Grandmother Gray. Why, even old Tabby, the family cat, llau away without waiting to hear her say "scat!" Not long after. Miltiades Peterkin Paul Came listlessly sauutenug out through the hall; And, seeing his grandfather's coat on a chair. With his hat aud caue by it, he thought, "I declare ' Now I'U play a due trick on my .'Grandmother Gray, She is out on the porch, fast asleep, I dare ud "Hem" as he went out the door, Then advanced, with his face turned away, to aoccst her. Lest she see, at a glance, he was bat an im porter. "Ah!" he Mid, very gruffly, "flood morning, my dear. I thought it quite likely I'd find you out here. Were you taking a nap?** "See!** Mua Muslin replied. In a ahril! tone of voice, with her head turned aside.

At this point, are Miltisdes Peterkin Paul Could reply, they heard grandfather's voice in the hall,— "Well, I neTer! Dear me! I must say I like that! Why, what om that young rascal have done with my hat !** And the very same instant, even worse to relate. There was Grandmother Gray coming in at the gate, Wno cned—and her face had an awful frown on it,— "I declare ! if that child hain't got on my best bonnet f* As for little Miltiadee Peterkin Paul— And Miss Muslin as well—what to make of it all They at first scarcely knew.

I hate to take a bath!" grumbled JohnDy, rubbing his eyes and shivering. "I wish I was an Indian, so I shouldn't ever have to feel a drop of water. I'd rather be a Nez Perces prisoner, I say, at Fort Leavenworth, than a soap-and water white boy—you hear that?" "A very mistaken wish, my untidy little man," said Johnny's uncle Jack. "If you were a Nez Perces prisoner at Fort Leavenworth, you'd have to take a sweat bath in an oven, and then leap out through the air and plunge into the turbip waters of the Missouri river every morning of your life, rain or shine, hot or cold, sick or well, so long as you liad strength enough to keep yourself from sinking to the bottom of the river " Johnny exclaimed in amazement. "I thought Indians went awfnl unwashed. Maybe, though, 'tis a torture ordered by the government to pay 'em for scalp ing so mapy white folks?" "Not so," answered Uncle Jack. " 'Tis a Nez Perces custom, old as the tribe itself. When Chief Joseph and his people were brought to Fort Leaven worth after their capture by General Miles, the first thing ordered was a sweat oven, which the tribal architects began to build at once." "Is it a real oven? And do they heat it np and then roast themselves in it?" asked Johnny with a look of terror. "N t exactly," answered Uncle Jack. "This is the way the oven is constructed: a deep hole is dug in the ground within a few feet of the Missonri river, and over this a roof of earth is formed mak ing a moimd the shape of an inverted iron kettle. An opening is left in one side, and in front of this a rousing fire is built. Rocks are heated in the fire and thrown into the hole in which there is a supply of water sufficient to create steam. The Indians then walk into the oven and stand above the caldron until they sweat profusely, after which they leap into the river where the bath is finished. Even the papooseß are oarried in their mothers' arms and soused till they spout water like baby whales, and it agrees with thonv immensely, for tho Nes Forces Indians arc n hardy race and live to an astonishing old nge. Ton see that even tho untutored savage sots yon A cleanly example which you will do well to imitate; so run sud take your bath, my man, without auotho won! of grumbling, and next Saturday we'll jump aboard the train, ride over to Port Leavenworth, ami see the sweat oven and obtain curiosities about Camp Joseph." Stimulated by Uncle Jack's promise, Johnny spent the following hour hold ing his bath IU a dark closet to produce violent perspiration, ami floundering in the bath-tub, playing that he was a little Ner. Pereea Indian boy taking a sweat bath. Saturday he wont to Fort Leaven worth, atnt found Chief Joseph and 1 is people looking remarkably contented, and seemingly enjoying the interest which they excited aa "Big Injuns" in captivity. To his surprise Johnny learned that Chief Joseph was an industrious and rather skillful artist. Upon a large biased tree iu frout of his tent the chief had painted a historical panorama of the Nex Forces war upon the whites which led to his captivitv and trauaporte turn ta the tvanks of the Missouri, lu diau lodges, wolves, log*. ponies, bird* and men mingled in the curious repre sentation which the interpreter "Charly" proudly pointed out aa "Big Chiefs Big Story of Hig Campaign." After looking at the pictures Johuuy went to visit Yellow Bull, a famous warrior of the tribe, who looked so jovial Johuuy could not believe he had taken so many scalps upon the war path as had been reported. He answered Johunv's "How" with a friendly nod, permitting him to examine the many object* of interest which the tent coutaiutvl, and eveu to strut about is the wvflf sktn cap once owned by White Bird, who is now with Sitting Bull in cvwupany with the remainder of the Nes lVncvs who escaped captivity. Oue of the rarest curiosities was a pipe tak en from tlie famous Fipe*tona piarrv described in Longfellow's "Hiawatha." This pipe was smoked by Chief Joseph's grandfather, Wah-la-mut ki, nearly a century ago. Walking through the village Johnny saw a group of Indian boys and girls playmg hall, using clubs cut from crooked timber made to resemble mam mouth spoons. The dnskv little sports men were shooting at niokle* with bows and arrows, laughing uproariously, as jolly a set of diminutive war prisoners as one could wish to see. But Johnny was most interested iu the "sweat oven," and it is safe to sav he will not soon forget the lesson which he learned from the Xez Perces Indians. Upon his removal a few weeks since to Uncle Jack's farm, where he spends his summers, he selected a spot close by a creek and induced the hired man to build thereon a "sweat oven" like that at Fort Leavenworth, only upon asmall er scale. Hither Johnny daily repairs in Indian costume, kindles his fire and stauds up in his oven, taking care to place above the hole a screen which Uncle Jack has cautiously provided lest Johnny fall into the caldron and come out a boiled Xez Perces.— TUKODOUA K. JaxNEss, in AwaJtf. Children's Tanks. Westminster Abbey is full of the re menibrances of great men and famous women. But it is also full of the re membrances of little boys and girls, whose death shot a pang through the hearts of those who loved them and who wished that they never should be for gotten. Almost the earliest royal monu ment in this abbey is of a beautiful little deaf and dumb girl of five years old, the Princess Catherine, daughter of King Henry 111., who loved her dearly. She was not forgotten, and her two little brothers, and perhajis four little nephews, were buried close to her, as if to keep her company. And so there are two small tombs in Henry YlL's ebapel of the two infant daughters of King James 1. Over one of them are some touching lines written by an American lady, which all mothers should read. And to the tombs of these two little girls were brought in after days by tlWr nephew, Charles IL, the bones of the twro young murdered priuces, which in his time were discovered at the foot or the staircase in the Tower. And there is in the chapel of St, Michael auothe tomb of a little child that died from a mistake of its nurse; and we know from her will that she never ceased to lament the little darling, and begged, if passi ble, very urgently, to be laid beside it. How a Kabln linos ilrroelf. A gentleman in Wisconsin, s tew days since, observed in one of the trees in his yard a robin redbreast hanging by the neck, quite dead. On examination he found a nest abont half-built, and the bird hod brought a pieee of twine about two feet long to use in its con struction. By some means it became entangled among the twigs, ami she had become entangled in the twine, with her head in a noose. Not knowing how to loosen it, by fluttering in her fright she had twisted it tightly abont her neck till she became strangled. When fonnd she was suspended abont a foot below the nest, hanging like a culprit, the victim of an accident Destroying Yellow Fever, It is well known that the germs of yel low fever are destroyed by frost. Act ing on this hint, Dr. Rnshrod W. James suggests, in the Philadelphia Ledf/rr, fighting the scouige with machines for producing artificial cold. He says: "Let every quarantine station have a ward or room capable of holding several patients, more or less, as the exigencies may de mand, so arranged that ventilation can be maintained exclusively through ven tilators and by means of small ante rooms with spring-closing doors, and then have no mode of entrance or exit to the ward except through the ante room. The ante-room should be kept at the same low temperature, or even lower than that in the ward, so that tbo temperature in the latter may not be raised by the opening and closing of the doors by the attendants, nor any of the ■lisease-prodncmg germs escape before they are thoroughly subjected to the low temperature and destroyed. The ward and ante-room must be kept at a temperature not higher than twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the patients comfortable by a sufficient amount of bed-clothing; and everything that goes from the room, each as clothing, excre tions, all emanations, etc., must be ex posed a sufficient length of time to the cold. This will kill the poisonous germs, or reproducing cause, and prevent, as far as the cases nrider treatment are con cerned, any risk of the disease spreading. If patients cannot bear so mnch cold during treatment, an adjoining warmer room can be made, with no mode of access or ventilation except through the cold room, and everything going out of the warmer room must be allowed to re main a sufficient length of time to get rid of the contagion. If no attendant oocupies the ante-room the degree of cold can be kept near zero, in order the more quickly to destroy all the disease producing agencies." Language of Finger Rings. In case of a gentleman wishing to marry—literally "in the market" with his heart—he wears a plain or chased gold ring upon the first finger of the left, or heart hand. When success at tends his suit, and he is actually en gaged, the ring passes to his third finger. If, however, the gentleman de sires to tell the fair ones that lie not only is not " in the market," but that he does not design to marry at all, he wears the signet upon the little finger, and all the ladies may understand that he is ont of their reach. With the fair sex the " lajvs of the ring " are: A plain or ehased gold ring on the little finger of the right hand implies " not engaged," or, in plainer words, " ready for propos als, sealed or otherwise." When en gaged the ring passes to the third fin :cr of the right band. When married the third finger of the left hand receive* it. If the fair one proposes to defy all siege to her heart, she places the ring on her first and fourth finger—one on each— like two charms to keep away the tempt er. This latter disposition of rings is very rare. Ilew the World looks from Pike's Peak. Kight hundred persons went to the summit of Pike's Peak last year, saya a i writer in the Troy (N. Y.) Vtvtm, and jaa many more will asoend thia year. It ia the one great feat that tourists in this regmu are ambitious to aeeompliah. This grand mountain was discovered and named after the adventuroua old ex plorer, Major Pike, in IHOtl. Lifting its snow-covered head over H.lkHt fort above sea-level, and 8,000 feet aUivc the high plains of Colorado at its base, it forms one of the groat landmarks of the State. There are two narrow horseback !>aths leading to the summit. The ouger and easier one is called tlie •'government trail," though the govern ment did uot make it, ami has nothing to do with it but to use it. It was built tT Mr. Ooplev, of Colorado Springs, l'lie t legrapli line to the summit runs along this trail. The " new trail "by a iUw-|>er elimb directly up from Main ton ipruiga, through Fugleman's Canon, is iwelve miles loug. Frvuu iVflomdo Springs by either trail it is seventeen miles to the summit. At tlrst our path way wound upward along the banks of a beautiful, clear mountain stream aud among foot-lulls winch, anywhere else would le called mountains ; then again the trail was nothing but a narrow aig sag path up the almost precipitous mountain aide, where a single misstep of our horse would have stmt us rolling down into the nwful ravine Inflow. Now we toiled on under towrruig cliffs a thousand feet liigh, tlien we crept uervoualy along the edge of fearful chasms, a thousand feet deep. Now through dense for ->ta of pine, ftr, spruce mid cedar; then among shrubs, plants and violet flowers bloom ing along our pathway. Now we were in deep gorges that almost shut out tho sunlight; than on some mount of vision from which we could catch a glimpse of the wild grandeur around ami about us. hive mill's from the haae we came to "Jones's I'ark," a beautiful meadow, 9,000 feet above the level of the seal, which tho eiwulrio owner has taken some pains to cultivate and ornament. If you atop loug enough Mr. Jones will tell you some strange stories alxuit his twenty-six years ot monutaiu life among the Rockies. Toiling on aud up, three miles from the park we come to a good aiaed log-house, which answers the purpose of a hotel. It stands on the border* ot beautiful "Lake Moraine," which gives it its name of "Ijake House." Here we rest for the night, sleeping st an altitude of 10,000 feet above the sea. Iu company with another, wo were early in the saddle next morning, for it was five mile* more to the suumitt, and in that live miles we mast mount up -1,000 feet higher. It was a long, weary, rugged climb. We were "tired to death " several times over, still we livtvl and pushed oil. At an elevatiou of 12,000 feet we reached " timber liye " the utmost limit of tree life. This line among the Alp* ia at an elevation of only 5,000 feet. (By the way, they say out here, of a man who is bald-head<\f that "his hea,l has got above timber line.") Up, up, up, over the rough and rocky, bleak and barren aides of the great peak we climb. The atmosphere grows rarer and respiration more difficult. It seems as if we would never reach the top. Higher and higher, through the light, thiu air we urge our trembling, panting horses, but we would pant worse than the horses if, out of sympathy to them, we should undertake to walk. Home at this great elevation suffer from dizziness, headache or nose-bleed. Others have sensations similar to seasickness. As we were resting our horses for a moment, and looking out ou the gloomy desola tion aoound us, wondering if any living thing could exist iu such a waste of bowliug wilderness of rocks, we heard a faint squeak or bark, coming, as we learned, from the little conies. These little animals are about the size and shape of a prairie dog. Thfcv are found on these peaks of the Rocky and never below timber line: One won ders how they subsist where there is no vegetation, and if they are the same as the "conies"of the Scripture, which " make their houses in the rocks." When we were about a hundred yards from the summit the great snow-drifts across tho trail compelled us to dis mount.' After tying our horses to the stones, wc clambered up rock to rock end boulder to boulder toward the crown of the peak. At last we were at the " United States Signal Service Station," a square stone house with flat roof, built for tho purpose of meteorological observations. On this lofty watch-tower " Old Probabilities " has stationed his sentinels, whose duty it is to send to Washington a telegraphic weather re port every evening at sunset; also to send a report by mail once a week. After a few minutes conversation with the lonely watcher dwelling ou this highest inhabited spot ou the globe, we weut cut into the clear muruiug atmosphere to view our surroundings. We climbed over the rocks and around tho snow drifts, buttoning up our overcoats to keep out the chill breeze, though down on the plains, under the July sun, the thermometer stood away up among the " nineties. ' On the very summit is a nearly level surface of about sixty acres, but tiiis space is so completely covered with great boulders and frsgments of great ragged granite rocks that not an inch of soil can be seen. lint look around and beneath you from this lofty apot if you want one of the grandest panorama* this earth affords. To the west, and far away, are the vast mountains of the " Buowy Range," among the lofty peaka of which are " Harvard," "Yale" and "Lincoln," crowned with perpetnal whiteness. In tervening between the mountain mon arch we are on and the snowy Rookies are mativ lower peaks ranging from 10,- 000 to 13,000 feet high. To the north are "James's," "Long's" and "Grey's" peaks stauding head and shonlders alxrve their fellows. Turning to the east, jnst down to the foot of the peak is Maniton, with its springs, and the Garden of the Gods, and t>eantifnl Glen Eyrie. Colo rado .Springs, out on the plain, live miles from the base of the mountains, so far below us we cannot distinguish the dwellings from oaeh other. Beyond the settlements, as far as human eye can reach, we see the immense plains of Colorado, bounded on the one hand by the valley of the Platte and on the other by the Arkansas valley. To the south is the Greenhorn range, the Spanish |>eaks, and old Sierra Blanco lifting its white bead nearer the stars than anv other peak in our stupendous snrronnd ings. A Famous 4 table. Pike, the famous guide of the Yose mite Valley, has recently run down to Ban Francisco, for the first time in twenty-six years. He was bora in Ten nessee, bnt crossed the plains soon after the discovery 'tf gold in California, being one of the few survivors of the ill-fated party that first attempted the perilous passage of the Death's Valley route. He was an associate of Peg-leg Bmith, who amputated bis own leg with a bunting knife, taking up the arteries and dress ing the stump withont assistance. This ojicratinn was neoossary inasmuch ss he had received a wonud from a poisoned arrow in a skirmish with Indians and illustrated au important principle now familiar to every college student—that of sawing one's own leg off—short. Pike first visited the Yosemite in 1852, the year after its discovery by white men, and he has remained in those mountain solitudes ever since, this lieing his first excnrsion. During recent years he has pursued the occupation of guide with thrift and profit. In ascending Mount Whitney, however, he contracted a bron chial affection and lost, his voice so Hint ho cannot now speak alwve a whisper. He has been commissioned by hotel pro prietors in the Yosemite to visit Oregon for the purpose of procuring new varie ties of plants and trees for the valley.

Two Courting*. Bat it is tilt) story of Ursula's court ship. as she herself ouce told it to a teasing mill favorite child, that the read er shall have as that of another "wotuau who dared." It happened in this wise. Mr. Mat thew Uriswold, tall, shy and awkward, but scholarly and kind, early in his life wooed a lady iu a distant town, who had another string to her bow in the person of a village doctor. For a long time she had kept her Lyme lover in a state of uncertainty, in the hope that she might draw out a pro(>osal from his pro fessed rival. After some mouths of this dallying Mr. ilriswold determined to hare the matter settled, and so one )lay rode to town, entered her house, and once more tendered heart and hand. "Oh, Mr. Oriswold, von must gin* me more time," said the lady. "I give yon your lifetime, miss," was the indignant reply; whereat the youth bowed himself out, dung into the widilie and galloped away forever, leaving the maiden who maiden was forevermore, us her bird in the bush was never caqght. To Matthew, disconsolate at his l>eau tifttl home amid that maguificeut grove of elms that still shelter the old (inn wold homestead at Black Hail, on the shore of the Bontid, jnst east of the Connecticut river, appeared soon after his consul Ursula, a little his senior in years, but ihhentmg tin l*eauty, pride and ready wit of her grandmother, Martha. She "came, saw, conquered;" but, warned by his past expenenco, Matthew was slow to speak, though his looks and actions betrayed his feelings toward his pretty cousin. Things ran on this way for s space until one stormy day near the close of her visit, Ursula, descending the dark, old oakeu staircase*, suddenly rucountcred her cousin ascending. Meeting him more than half way, ahe, stopping sud denly, said sweetly: " What did yon say, consin Matthew?" "Oh, I didn't speak; I didn't say anything?" "High time yon did, cousin; high time yon did." The future Governor was not slow to take the hint, and speolily found his tongue; and this is how Ursula Woloott became Ursula Oriswold, aud for twenty five years always hod a near relative in the Governor's chair in Conm>ctieut. Words of Wisdom. The test way to condemn baeople are often the causes of that valor so celebrated among men. With a Pot of Beer. In 1850, when the time of political passion was still running very high, Bismarck went one day into a tavern at Berlin to take a gloss of beer. A man near him, feeling himself supported by the presence of his friends, began to abuse a member of the royal family. Bismarck looked at him, and said quiet ly: " If you have not left this room be fore I have finished my beer, I'll break thin pot over your heal." He (hen emptied his glass very deliberately, and as the man took no heed of the warning, he did as lie had threatened. He went up to the fellow and knocked him about the head with the pot till he fell, howl ing on the ground. Bismarck then asked the waiter: " How much for the glass?" and, having paid for it, he walked away leisurely, without any one having dared to molest him. Even at that time he was n man of some political standing, and the acknowledged lender of tho conservative party; but, true to his principle, he always took the of ensive, attacking his adversaries, wher ever he met them, ami with all weapons. Blackwood' n Ala;/mine,. A Joke that wan Lost. How many really excellent jokes sro lost for want of proper appreciation. Here, only a few days ago, when the lowa excursion went up to minuespolis, a young man sat up at tho Nicollet half an hour one night after his ohum had gone tolcd, sewing tho legs of the innocent sleeper's together. He trousers sewed them strong, and laughed long and silent ly after he went to bod, as he pictured the scene in the morning. When the morn ing dawned, he arose with the glow of anticipation in his face, and as it slowly faded awav he sat down upon the sido of the bed and dejectedly cut open the bottom of his own carefully sewed trou sers legs, and wliou his unsuspecting chum asked what be was doing, he ighen a sand-bank—by mean* of imitating their movement* -when the dogfish is knocked down and killed with a cudgel. More than 100 are kuowu to have Itcen killed iu one summer by one single hunter, who easily enticed them u|iou the dry saiut-tmnk. The hunters very seldom make any use of the guu, as the sound uf Uie discharge disperse* them at once; only old dog fish have to lie shot, a* they are ho wilv to 1> caught by the tricks of the hunters. Another more sncieut method was by l)Hrp-jK>iutol spears, faateund to a chain which was spread round the edges of a stuid-liaiik U|s>u which the dogflnh were aceustomtx] to assemble and to suu themselves. The spears were pointed inward, at u eertmii dis tance from each other, ami iu ortler to topple over or turn backward, fastened to a small iron plate in the shape of a duck's foot, Uie whole securely buried in the saud. The dog Ash arrive at the sand-hank it* soon as the water leave* the dry, and settle themselves iuside the chain ami sja ars, these being sUU cov enxl over by tlie water. Before the lat ter get lnof it, the hunter* arrive in a boat and make a noise, when the Ash, iu tryiug to get off the sand hank, rush di rect upou tlie spears, and tin we not killed outright /are knocked down with a clnb. As many as twenty have in this manner beua some times at the month of the River Elbe aud iu the North Watt, when they as semble tijMtn a Ktnd-bank, having a kind of groove miming iuto it, which in these part* occurs often. The hunters have only to ruu their boat slowly toward the groove and spread a sturgeon net at the entrance, when most of Uie dogfish get entangled in the net upou their attempting to escajx*, and are then easilv killed. Two Keren trie Character*. Among the odd characters se-n on the streets of New York are two Frenchman, one a man about sixty and the other about thirty years old. both of whom pa rade Broadway and the thoroughfares around the City Hall, carrying on their shoulders three or four black tin sigu- UianU inscribed with disjointed sen tences iu French and Kugliah. The in scriptions read: •' 1 want a lawyer;" "1 am Erueet Dubourque, a Frenchman, and I want j .stice;" " I fought in the war, and I want to return to France," etc., etc. A reporter of the World ac costed the younger of the two men in French, and asked him why he had made such a remarkable exhibition of lumaelf.

A new stuff for vests has raised stripes that look as if braided. Old -fashioned claret and garnet color will lie much worn this winter. Belted dresses will probably continue fashionable throngh the winter. Large square licit buckles come in engraved silver, pearl, jet and steel. Chuddah cloths almost exactly like Chndduh shawls are imported for win t#T. # Silk and wool good!, in flue stripes of bright colors, are prepared for tho win ter trade. Felt bonnets embroidered with gold arc announced as awful possibilities of the future. The silk fabrics with tufted stripes and figures are to bo imitated in wool for winter wear. It is said that the old style moire antique silk will be more wed for trim : niiug hat* and Ixmnets. Veils of dotted black net, lined with white illusion, are worn this autumn. They .arc very deceptive. White India muslin over silk is fash ionable still. The silk dress is trimmed with a frayed ruche; the muslin with lace. The new fall dress goods are of bright oolors curiously blended. Olive, pale bine, garuot and yellow aro set n in one fnbric. Hhoodas, oaravan cloth, and fulled cashmere are the varieties of ludia cash mere that are shown for the coming season. Disinfecting Foul Flares. The Boston Scientific Arte* calls at tention to the importance at this season of getting rid of all vile smells about dwellings, sud makes this practical suggestion: The article commonly used to disinfect foul places is chloride of lime, but in reality it is not of much value. It may, and generally does, re move bad smells, but tho oanse still remains, as the chloride simply de stroys the gaseous emanations. The much advertised disinfectants are usually catch pea uy nostrums and unworthy of notice. One of the very best known disinfectants is old-fashioned "cop peras," or sulphate of iron, which can fx* had very cheap. A barrel of cop perns would"weigh probably 300 pounds, and can bo purchased at wholesale price at a cent and a half per pound. And every family ought, especially in warm weather, to'have a supply of it on hand. A couple of bandfula of copperas thrown into a bucket of water will soon dissolve, j and it can thou bo ukod freely, and is a valuable disinfectant. Tho best plan is to fill a half barrel or keg with wator, and suspend within it a moderate sized basket full of copperas. In this way it dissolves more rapidly than when thrown to the bottom of tho wooden vessel, aud thus a supply is alwnyH at hand ready j for use. Why should a watch never be dry? I Because it lias a cunning spring inside. NEWS SUMMARY. Ilaatein and Ml,Mia Btataa General llnijainiii K.
