Arlington tsjndeed an honored and
historic came, both In England and
America; but In the former it Is best
known as the title of a family, and In the
latter as the name of an estate. The

name of Arlington. A llttle later the
tltle was restricted te that part of the
estate bordering en the Potomac, and
that estate, net quite a century and a
half age, became the property of the
great Custls family. Thus through Cus
lis, Washington, Custls again, and finally
Lee, the estate has become noted in
American annals, and is new made a
Mecca of patriotism as the last' resting
place of .Sheridan and nearly 10,000 ether
soh'.ersef the Union.
When Qeorge Washington married Mrs.
Martha Custls, widow, her only son was
the prospective owner of this fine estate
of 1,000 acres; but he did little te im

lie left four children, of whom Washing
ton adopted the two youngest; and of
these Geerge Washington Parke Custls
succeeded te the ownership of Arlington.
He was a man of peculiar and somewhat
classical tastes, and designed a mansion
in imitation of the old temnle at Pstum,
near Naples. The original plan was nec
essarily modified te tit the needs of a
modern residence, and the result is the
Imposing Arlington house, which stands
en n hill 200 feet above the Potomac
river, bome four miles from the Capitel
building and ene mile from Georgetown
across the Aqueduct bridge.
The center building, CO feet, and two
wings.ef 40 feet each, give a frontage of
140 feet; and from this projects a portico
CO feet long and 25 feet deep. Seuth of
the building are garden, conservatory,
kitchen, old "Blavo quarters" nnd stable;
toward river and city the view is, of
ceurse, unobstructed. Te this building
Geerge Washington Parke Custls re
moved in 1802 from Mt. Vernen, where
he had lived, after graduating at Prince
ton college, till the death of Mrs, Wash
ington. He died, there Oct. 10, 1857, the last
of Washington's family, aged 74. Ills life
was largely devoted te art and literature;
his "Recollections of Washington"-at ene
time attracted much attention, and at the
beginning of the late war Arlington
llouse contained several line paintings
dune by him. It also contained many
memorials of Washington and ether
colonial revolutionary heroes, and an In
vitation te Arlington Heuse was esteemed
an honor by the most eminent statesmen
and artists.
Early in llfe he married Miss Mary Lee
Fitzhugh, and their daughter married the
son of "Light Herse Harry" Lee, then a
lieutenant of engineers, but later known
te all the world as Gen. ltebcrt E. Lee.
The story of the "confiscation" of Arling
ton need net be repeated. It Involves
points of constitutional law as yet unset
tled; but the final result appears te be
that the tltle of the government is per
fected. The sole under the confiscation

which was connected with the wire bands
bv cress cables. The raft was towed from
the center cable. .Forty-five, miles of wire
and 8.500 feet of cable were used.
The raft was towed by two of the most
powerful tugboats in the world.
The success of this venture, which bids
fair te revolutionize certain branches of
the timber business, , Is due te the In
genuity and pluck of Hugh It. Robertsen,
of St. Jehn, N. B., the patentee of the
system of ocean timber rafts, and the
builder of the raft that was lest last De
cember, and te James D. Lcary, of New
Yerk.
In 18S3 James Murray, of St. Jehn, N.
D., brought te New Yerk a small, rude
craft, containing about one-sixth the
quantity of timber contained in the mam
moth hulk above described. Murray's
craft was bftllv and extravacantlv con
structed, and the towage bill was heavy.
The expense precluded another attempt In

the same line. Hut it contained the germ
of great economy in the transportation of
lumber. Hugh H. Hobertsou, born in
Neva Scotia, watched the experiment
with curious Interest. Fer thirteen years
he had worked as mechanical and mining
engineer In California and the western
territories; for two years he had mined In
Australia, and for two years after that
he had reamed ever the continent of
Eurepe, spending seme months in the
vast forests of Norway and Sweden.
After watching the result of Murray's
experiment, and being possessed of a com
fortable fortune, he went te work te selve
the problem of raft building. He solved
It. "Build rafts en the laud and launch
them as you would a ship, then you can
control, slze and shape and build them
stancbly," said he. He built nne raft
containing 18,000 legs in 1880, but when
the launching day carae the immense
pile of timber would net meve and
It proved impossible te meve it that
year. Robertsen was looked upon ea
a hair brained enthusiast. Then
James D. Leary, n rich man, a practical
man and a man of nerve, joined the
scheme. In 1887 the first raft was tern
te pieces and built en finer lines and a
larger scale than before. It was safely
launched Nev. 15, 1887, and sailed from

When the less of the raft became known
great alarm was felt among vessel own
ers, as the legs were squarely In the track
of the ocean steamers. Ne disasters were
occasioned, however. The less of this
raft gave a valuable practical lessen in
eceau currents. 1-egs breaking from It
have been encountered In many parts of
the north aud south Atlantic, and a short
time biuce a vessel reported that a part
of thu raft had been sighted iutact near
the Western Islands, oil the coast of
Africa.
Immediately upon the less of the raft
in 1887, Mr. Lenry announced his un
shaken confidence in the feasibility of the
enterprise and declared his intention te
launch another raft. He and Robertsen
were out about $30,000 en their first
venture, and It was considered foolhardy
te again risk such a sum. Thov went
ahead, however, contracted for the legs
te be delivered at Pert Jegglns in the
winter of 1887-8, and the successful result
has already been described.

XaaKC Tatte eg Wi Orchestra of a
Aacast AttToe Seft Saand 'ta Ha
Heard In tha HayfleM Crickets aad
Katydid.
Some anlmalt abhor music, at least
nome music; but most animals love innate.
A cow likes nothing better than singing
and whistling, and her milk flews gladly
for a chap that will sing te her, as she
turns her head and kisses him with her
tongue. A degi se far as I knew, hates
music, except singing and whistling. A
piano sets him en edge', and a drum or fife
makes him howl. Horses, I believe, leve
martial music best. Every horse is nat
urally a war horse, and likes parade and
the dash of military llfe. Next te this
he Is in his element running with a
fire engine. I knew of no decent musle
that he dislikes. Cats, unllke dogs, llke
Sianes and organs. Of course, we tin
crstand that nearly all birds have some
musical taste, although few have real
aktt. I knew of but two real masters of
song In our northern states, the bobolink
and catbird; although tUere are many
mere really sweet singers. The liquid,
silvery notes et the bobolink are like the
dew of the early, pure morning. One al
ways associates them with waterfalls and
the music of silver instruments. But the
catbird is the marvel of all musicians.
He Is able te de about what he will.
But what led me te sit down te writ
was the musle et the Insects "tiny
loiterers of a summer's dar." It is a mis
take te suppose the chief occupation of
these dlpteras and hymenopteres is eating
and working it Is making music. Yeu

en a cock of hay in the middle of the day;

you must net be thinking of ether things.
Clese yevr eyes and lay-your head back en
the sweet hay. There I Are yen net new
conscious of several stmt as of music,
reaching far up Inte the skyT The upper
air is full of bees hornets in part, it may
be and there are millions of them. Then
lower down are all sorts of flies and work
ing bees, while in the trees and grass
there is fully as vastanumbcref crickets,
katydids and ether musle makers. New
you must open your ears as carefully as
you clese your eyes, and listen attentively;
for I assure you there are myriads of
sounds clese by you that you never heard.
Is it net se? Yeu are surprised. Indeed,
we 11 ve insldeablg musle box; and you
never knew it.
The fact is these musical notes blend
together about us in a vast harmony,
that lulls our sense of hearing Instead of
quickening it. I am sure our hearing
needs a great deal mere education than it
generally gets. If you try you can sep
arate the sounds that new you discover,
and pick out the different instruments in
the orchestra. Plainly enough I was'
right, that working and eating de net
predomlnate as employments of the Insect
world. Here is a .cluster of humble or
bumble bees, bent en sport, as you can
bce. Flies dance about in circles under
that apple limb, and are 'playing at seme
game, quite .llke tag. There Is a very
soft and gentle murmur of their wings,
hardly audible. They have no ether
musical instruments, but I am qulte euro
they enjoy net only the .motion, 4ut the
sound. Crickets, however, ere real musi
cians, using their wine covers as Instru
ments. When he wishes te plpe the
cricket raises these covers and moves'
them together lengthwise, se that the'
work as a boy's cornstalk fiddle works. I
confess the musle is net swcet, but it is'
better than a Scetlsh bagpipe or a hurdy
curdy. But the fun of n cricket's musie
is In Its clement of ventriloquism. I
should llke te sce you select ene of these
fellows just new and go directly te him,
following up his music. Yeu will go half
a dozen ways before yen find Wm. .Nearly
all the Insects have this power, and it is
no doubt used in self protection.
The handsome green katydid plays an
instrument morellko the sheepskin drums'
of the Africans, or a primitIve taboret.
In each wing cover there is a triangular
space, ever which is situated a thin mem-,
brane. The opening and shutting of the
wing covers, raore or less rapidly, pro
duces the notes that sound llke kaly did.
Only ence In awhlle there is as distinct a
katy didn't. Terhftps both are true.
Crickets and katydids of both sexes are
musicians', and all night long are te be'
heard calling and responding llke the
shepherd boys of eastern lands. The
cicadas are musical only in the niale sex,
and that Is qulte enough; ferif both sexes
could beat tue kettle drums we should be
dinned deaf with the noise. jOn their
sides are membranes plaited ever each
ether and covering hollows. These are
beaten with cords that relax and contract
as boys pull rubber bands in contact with
a resounding material. These fellows
keep it up all day, howevcr, and as they
are abundant there is no lack of their
music.
I have by no means recounted all the
musical instruments ene can hear at mid
day or of evcnlugs in July or August.
Many of the tiny bugs have power te
emit singing sounds. Frem the greatest;
te the least ferm3 of llfe there Is some
way of expressing emotion. Se I llke te
sit en these hillocks of hay and listen
just listen. It Is leve that, after all, fills
iiature and gives volce te It. Only wh'cD
leve falls seme harsh shriek indicates the
?rcsence of hate. Have I forgotten the
reg, and the trce toad? By 'no means;
and you need net recall them with- a
sneer. A frog Is a gentleman every way,'
aud his music is far from being despicable
In early spring It is truly delightful te

Sailors believe that ihe spirits ef the

peculiar ways of warning or.coiamunl er.coiamunl or.ceiamunl
eating te their Muds en earth such in
formation as they deem essential te their
welfare and happiness. It Is net an un
common eccurrencA for them te credit the
hades of some friend with many of theso
trlflnjr little chaeses in the fiewintr and
jebblng of the sea as Indicative of seme
prospective ill luck or joy.
Rarely does it happen that the etymol
ogy of their superstition contains a pre
cursor for joy. Such gloomy forebodings
as they are capable of interpreting are In
variably omens of misfortune Truly,
may it be said that superstition forms the
alphabet of the seafaring man as one
Ignorant of Its varied branches Is gener
ally looked upon as "green," and becomes
a butt of his mere fertunate and enlight
ened "chums."
Their transformation Inte' the ethereal
realms of space does net, In the belief of
theso whom they have left behind, alter
their ideas one iota, and hence it' is that
the several trifling mishaps and ether cir
cumstances Incidental te a voyage are in
terpreted by' the sailors into realities
which would fill a volume la themselves.
In justice te them, however, 1 It said,
that such fatultlehs conceptions are net
without foundation, as the less of the
steamship Friday many years age will
testlfyte.
FATE Or TI1E rittDAY.
This vessel was a huge ironclad, built
in Scotland regardless of expense, and
named after the unlucky day, She was
manned and commanded by capable and
experienced officers, selected for their
capabilities, and altogether thoroughly
adapted for such a task as the trial voy
age of an ocean steamer. She set sail en
Friday, and when nearing the Cape of Geed
Hepe a few weeks afterward en that very
umn dav. sank, drewntntr all hi crew.
It Is believed that owing te this disaster
seamen have considerable fear of putting
te sea en Friday, and seme go se far as te
say that their fears date from this sad
catastrophe. Captains of small vessels
have always dreaded the prospect of sail
ing en Friday, while theso of larger ones
leek upon that day with the greatest non
chalance and unconcern.
The sailor en land and en sea are two
distinct characters, each possessing his
cwn singular attributes. On land no
ether being has a mere utter disregard of
premature danger or mishaps, as his dally
actions and nocturnal orgies demonstrate,
se when once en sea no blossoms out
again Inte smiles of excessive obsequious
ness. There when danger dogs his foot
steps at every track superstition is his
idol; te It he sacrifices every selfish senti
ment, and In it he trusts for theso happy
presentiments which may afterward save
him from destruction.
Even while partaking of their meals
sailors rarely lese an opportunity of dis
cussing and rehearsing stories which the
average man would regard as the product
of a maniac's brain. The day's happen
ings are Interpreted by each and notes ex
changed. The most gifted romancer is
then looked upon with feelings of rever
ence and respect. A visit te their sleeping
quarters will reveal a miscellaneous cot cet cot
lectien of horseshoes, nails, palmllke
leaves and numerous ether articles, each
of which has a history of its own. When
birds are swept aboard in a storm they are
Invariably left untouched, as sailors eye
them with delight and satisfaction as the
spirits of some dear departed friend met
amorphosed. The birds of the sea,
notably the petrel, Immortalized by Proc Proc
eor, and the sea gull,, are held sacred in
consequence of the latter apparently rest
ing en the. surface of the sea after the

Wlienevec this occurs In. the Immediate
vicinity of a ship a calm is predicted, and
the jelly tars leso llttle or no tlms iu
notifying the captain of their glorious
vision. In sailors' eyes the porpoises are
never, pleasant objects te contemplate.
When they suddenly appear during a calm
the sailors leek for another wind from the
satne quarter as that which was blown
out, aud If they skip about It means that
'a gale is coming.

a ship's side becomes, according te their
belief, later en in llfe a goeso. But among
all these signs nothing is se well calcu

unce of a shark. When this monster of
jthe deep Is seen te fellow a ship for
jseTcral days a death is te occur en beard,,
and while clambering up the rigging
extra pains are adopted In making their
journey a safe and successful one. The
ship is then evidently haunted, and the
ifaces of her crew, but recently smiling,
are new decorated with expressions at
once thoughtful and lugubrious.
I The common mlrage fills sailors with
dread, and. betokens an early death te
seme of Its observers. Carrying a cerpse

against conventions, a representative of
the masBes, he encamped befere the cita
del of tradition and proclaimed the war
that was te bring about the democracy et
senir. His cause will perish with him,
andThls name stand like a pillar in a waste
place lonely, but Imperishable" Jfew

Persen's who are entirely educated
through the eye without reference te the
ear and en whom sound has no effect are
content te pronounce names as they have
been accustomed te hear them pronounced,
without taking the trouble te observe or
even te sotlre hew they are spelled Se
what we call bad pronunciation of names
by these moving In geed society that is
te say, the educated classes Is their geed
pronunciation, aud In almost every in
stance the change Is for the wnrse te the
educated American critic; for instance,
"Chumley" for Cholmendeley. "Marsh
banks" for Majerlbanks, "Bech'mp" for
Bcaarhamp. and se en. Nothing but
the fact that the people In Eng
land speak different dialects In dif
ferent counties, thai they cannot
understand ene another, must ac
count for the fact that Blythe is

In Vaux the final x Is also sounded, but

in Des Vaux the final x Is dropped. In
Meux the x takes the sound et "Mews."

be very bad style te call it "Cur." Ceck-

poet of the "Sefa" and "Jehn Gftpln," Is
railed "Cooper" always. In Waldegrave
the "de" should be dropped. It should
be called "Walgrave," a slight accent en
the first syllable. In Louden always say
"Barkley'1 for Berkeley. Only" the Lon Len Lon
den cabmen call it what it is, They say
"Berkeley square," but my neble lord
says "Barkley square."
The Derby is the Darby. In Dlllwgu
the "w" takes the sound of "u;" It is pre
neunced Dlllun. Lcveden Is called Llvo Llve

building It is pronounced as spelled St.
Jehn. Montgomery Is Mungomery.- In

InBurdett, Kennalrd'and Parnell the
last syllabble is emphasized. In Treds-i
gar, Bredalbane, Clanrtcarde, only the
middle syllable is emphasized. Fer Tra
falgar square the old Lendener says Tre
foliar square. This difference of nomen
clature reaches also te the very different
names of things, as no ene In Londen asks
for an "apothecary shop;" he asks for the
"chemist's" if he wants a dese of medi
cine. Apothecaries existed in Shak
spere's time, as we, learn from "Bernee
and Juliet," but they are "gene out"
since. A s seen as an American cau divest
himself of saying "baggage" and learn te
say "luggage" the fcoener will he be un
derstood. Mrs. M. E. W. Bhcrwoed'H

Geld Wattling In California.
What an earth scarring, de vastatlng pro
cess that whele system of geld washing
has been te a portion of California! It has
tern down hills and mountains, filled up
lovely valleys and ravines with rock and
mud and left only bare rock and plies of
bewlders where were befere shaded ami
fertile llttle plains. This has taken place
ovcrhuudreoBof miles et territory. But
nature repairs such ravages very quickly,
especially in California, whero vegetation,
wild or cultivated, grows after a rapid
transit fashion. There it seen binds up
these earth scar with wild vines and
bushes. I have seen saplings growing
through the reefs and barring the doers
of the cabin In a camp. which had net beeu
deserted mero than ten Vears.
Se far as outward 'indications" went,
no seUer perfect rule will work in finding
geld. As te place or manner of deposit,
the diggings In one locality would be a
contradiction te theso In another. The
heaviest geld wa3 generally found deepest.
But sometimes tne heaviest geld was,
found en the top In the very grass roots.'
Old miners finally drepped-en anadsge
that developed Itself like many ether
things out of the llfe and luck of the dig
gings. That adage was; "Geld Is gener
ally whero you find it." This worked,
There is no getting outside of It. The
Mexicans say: "It, takes a mine te work
a mine." I would recommend these two
texts te all who are disposed te embark in
mining ventures. Prentice Mulford In

fP"I don't knew anythlnc about Cossack
rldlnff," said CeL Cedy, "because I never
saw any of It, but I will guarantee that
our men can de anything that Cossacks
can de and mens, tee. There Is art In
riding Just as there Is In sheeting, in
writing or anything clse that re
quires skMl and training. Frem
what you tell me of the nature
of the Costack feats of riding I
should say that they were mero In
the line of circus riding than the feats cf
our men. Yeu must remember that
everything our men de Is an oxempllflca exempllflca oxempllflca
tlen of the various feats performed by
them In making their living. The throw threw
lng of the lasso needs no mere than a
reiorcnce, but the feat of' picking up ar
ticles from the ground while riding by at
full speed is born of the ncccsnlty of re ro re
cevering the end of the repe attached te
the horns of a flying Btccr; that Is a thing
that every cowboy must learn te de se
that if after lassoing the steer the nd of
the lariat should slip from his hand he
can recover It while both he and the gir
are going full sped. 7Z
"Then as te the riding of bSTklng po
nies, that Is a necessity, tee, eh the cow
boy must break his herse te the saddle.
Ilucklag Is a natural trait of the mustang,
as the result of the movements it Instinct
ively gets through endeavoring te rid it
kcU of its rider. All mustangs are buck--rs
at first, and they must be broken of
the habit befere they can be "tide of any
use. What we call a bnculnc mustang
Is really a horse spoiler! In the brcuk
ing en that has never bn nuccess
fully brektn and is In consequence of no
practical value. All of my bucking horses
are worthless for any etfier purposes. I
repeat, there is nothing the Cassacks can
de that the cowboys won't equal, If net
excel, and I only wish the Russian gov
ernment could send us a horse that the
cowboys can't ride. That, of course,
would be impossible, but If iteuld be thu
herse would be worth his weight In geld."
