Did you over notice the different styles of fanning affected by the people in church? There is Mrs. Placidite, whose fan opens to its fullest extent, moves hack and forth with all the easy tran quillity of an old-fashioned ciock pendu lum; while the fussy, jerky pendulum of the modern timepiece is well symbol ized by the quick nervous strokes of Miss Marrinot, who sits near. And just beyond is Deacon Jones, with tiis capa cious stomach resting upon his knees. H s fan is held at arm's-length, his hand at a level with his eye, the palm-leaf sending its breeze waves along the entire facade of his overheated body. Miss Tuchmenot's fan flutters like a fright ened bird, nnd Miss Daintiwun holds one corner of her's pinned to her right shoulder, jealous of every [particle of the little wind that her feeble move ments succeed in raising. Mrs. Marri well's fan moves with a languid grace to and fro, without so much as a sus picion of a breeze. There is no shading in tier fanning. The back strokes and the forward strokes are all alike. Then there is the generous fanner, who scat ters her windy favors on all about her, the sentimental fanner, who fans not at all but uses her fan as a nose-rest, and she gazes over it in melancholy resigna tion ; and the fidgety fanner, who fans furiously for half a mirute and then shuts her fan with a snap, only to begin her work again at tho end of another half a minute. These are but a few of the family of fanners. Their name is legion and their methods are diverse.— Morton Transcript. I'om Id Marrlt(. The Rev.

The first of these is a false education. This often begins in early childhood when the adoring mamma impressed on the fair young Angelina's mind the fol lowing catechism: Who made you so beautiful? The dressmaker. What did she make you so tor? To have beaux. What is the chief aim of woman? To be admired. What is the great duty of woman? To make a good match. What is meant by a rood match? One that will furnish me plenty of money and nothing to do, and let me do ns I please. That's right, darling; now practice what you have lenrned. Sometimes thiß education is continued process of veneering at the boarding school, until the girl is fully possessed with the idea, and is transformed into a hollow-hearted schemer. London's •* Ilery Mine." It is a "fact not generally known " that there is in London a " fiery mine " of so very excitable a disposition that no artificial light of any description has ever yet been allowed to lie brought even into its neighborhood. Its pro duct, however, is not coal, but rum. The rum-shed, as it is called, of the West India dock, covers a space of two hundred thousand square feet, with vaults of corresponding size, all crammed with huge casks of spirit, from every pore of which—and the most earefully-oiosed have pores iti , plenty—the fiery vapor is forever streaming out into the air. only begging for the smallest chance of converting the whole area of the docks, with theit two hundred and fifty odd ships, and two or three hundred tons < r so of cargo, and their more or less in • calculable stores o tinibcr and tea, sila and sugar, cigars and cereals, coals and cotton, wine, wool, whisky, whale-fins, and what not, into the most magnificent bowl of snap-dragon ever imagined in infant nightmare. Into these fiery regions not even [a bull's-eye lantern is or ever has been allowed to penetrate. Even the wharf along the side where the great puncheons are landed is for bidden to the approach of vessels, every cask being transferred from ship to shore in the company's own lighters. Each cask in that vast range of dim drak vaults is marked and numbered, and on the right reading of these marks and numbers depends the efficient execution of every one of, the numerous operations to which every individual cask has been subjected before its contents can go forth for the mixing of the world's grog.

A snake when on the ground moves ; often with considerable rapidity. The head is slightly raised, and the body , and tail progress by means of the 1 peculiar grasping power of the skin and i ribs of the underneath parts, which en- I ables consecutive contraction and elon gation to occur. The movement is more ' or less flat with the earth, and the snake never coils upward, as is often figured in old and some new paintings and en- | gravings. It can erect its head and j much of its neck and fore part of tke body, and this is also done when the creature is in horizontal coils and quiescent. On moving up a stone or tree the head, neck and much of the body may be placed against the more or less vertical object, and a small portion only of the body may be left on the ground, hut in this position the snake is liable to fall sideways. On moving up a tree they do not coil themselves round and round it like a rope, hut they may do this when still. It is wonderful how snakes move along and between boughs, and, taking a turn round one with their tail end, swing and look for food, and also how they will make themselves up into a hunch on a fork of a tree, and remain there without falling. They swim in an undulating.manner, but the body is wriggled on the same plane as the surface of the water, and not at right angles to it, hut in rushing ai their prey, both in the water and on land, there is more or less upward or downward bending of part of the body, and a rapid thrust of the head forward. The Apache Who Could Ride a "Bronco." Tom Ncwland has an Indian who places a high estimate on his equestrian ability- There was a horse to be brought to town a few days ago, and the Indian was given the <ob. Hitching the animal to a tree, he carefully placed the sweat cloth on him; then the blanket, the bridle, snd the saddle; at each per formance giving voice to a satisfied "Ah, hah," each ejaculation growing intenser, till be got into the saddle. All this time the "bronoo,'"looked as unlike Alexander the Oreat's war horse, Bucephalus, as a arpentsr's saw-horse. The Indian started; he gained the crest of the bill where the scrub oak was thickest; he turned and give another " Ah, hah." which was followed so closely by "whoa" that it sounded like a com pound word. Then something rose a few feet in the air, went back, and mr,c again. There was a cloud of dust, a heap of Apache talk, a flash of bright colors, and—silence. When Tom went up, he found the horse grazing in the most orthodox fashion, and a strip of white breech clout, and a pair of brown legs surmounted by red-stockings and iron-clad shoes sticking up from the middle of m scrub oak, like a new sort of plant. Tom got him out of ths brush, and when he said " Ah, hah," the Ind an looked as though he wanted to goon the wsr-path.— Antona btlvcr Bill. TATTOOED MY NAVAOKN. Alnnmn Hewitt's Mtranga Kxperlence In Patagonia The New York HUir has an account of Alonzo Hewitt, an American sailor, a resident of Brooklyn. In 185 Mr. Hewitt belonged to the crew of the ship Angelica, which went ashore during a severe gale on the Patagonian coast. The vessel was manned by thirteen men, all of whom were captured by the savages and taken into the interior. The men were separated from each other, and given to different native chiefs its slaves. Mr. Hewitt never knew what became of bis shipmates. He was taken by a savage named Mine hoo, and compelled to carry heavy loads of provisions and bunting ma terials on long journeys. At night bis bands were tied behind his back, and one end of the leathern thong was fast ened to a tree, so that be could not run away. No knife or sharp instrument of any kind was left within his reach, and be was as effectually a prisoner as though he had been locked up within strong walls. The whole story of bis troubles and sufferings while in the hands of the savages would fill a large volume, hut the most interesting por tion, which can be confined to the limits of a newspaper account, is bis account of the manner in which he wns fatfio by the Patagonians. Almost the entire surface of Mr. Hewiit's body is indelible representations of beasts, birds and reptiles. He said that the savages oc cupied over a month's time in making these unique pictures. A preparation in many respects resembling india irk was used, and the method of producing the pictures was to puncture the skin with the points of small fish bones, and then to rub the ink upon the wound thus pro duced. The ink thus produced a discol oration of the skin that can never be effaced. " What caused the Patagonians to mark you in this mannerP" inquired the reporter. " I presume the chief who held me wanted to disfigure me for the amuse ment of himself and his associates," was the reply. "Then you do not think the chief meant to punish you?" " Not especially. In my mind be wished to display the artistic skill ol one of his young braves in the pictor al line. He undoubtedly regarded my skin in much the same light .that a painter does the white canvas. I was a good groundwork for ornamentation." "Was the chief proud of you after the work was done ?" "He was indeed. I was taken about among the people and exhibited to ad miring eyps. The young men and rnr i 'ns would point at the pictures and then look at each other and smile Older savages would admire me by the hour, and I was one of the greatest ob jects o| interest in Patagonia." "Do you know the meaning of the pictures?" " I only know that the pictures repre sent beasts, birds and reptiles; but why they were selected as subjects baffles my comprehension. I suppose that lam a sort of Patagonian obelisk, and although unlike the A xandrian monolith, lam not 3 000 or 4.000 years cf age, I perilaps represent religious ideas and historical facts." The tattooed man brushed his locks of shaggy hair back from his forehead, and disclosed a hlue-and-ycllowish re presentation of a bird. Although the bird lias outstretched wings and beak claws like an eagle, it is far from being a good representation ol the glorious American bird of freedom. On either side of the man's face is a bird that looks more like a young chicken than anything else. lengthwise on the man's nose is a tiny picture of a blue snake with red eyes. A red snake with blue eyes encircles the man's neck. Rolling up bis sleeves and baring his arms, Mr. Hewitt exhibited to the reporter pic torial representations of more than a dozen different kinds of animals. Rome of tliem resembled goats, others sheep and foxes. There were animals horns and others without tiorns. There was a singular-looking creature, that reminded the reporter of a centaur, above the elbow of the right arm. There were more figures on the left arm than on the right one. Th total number of distinct pictures on the man's body, ho said, were 133. Only three colors are shown, red, blue and yel low. The inks were obtained by press ing the juice from .vegetables and mix ing it with fine earthy pigments. Mr. Hewitt thinks that the inks were of a poisonous nature, because they caused his limbs to swell to twiie their normal size while the pictures were being randc. Five years ago Mr. P. T. Barnum, hearing of Mr. Hewitt, and thinking that he would prove valuable as a curi osity for public exhibition, offered him a libeial salary to appear in the "Great est Show on Earth.'' Mr. Ilewltt de clined the proposition. lie wrote to Mr. Barnum, saying: " I am * poor man ; but all the money iu the Stale of N'JW York would notfmpt -netr place myself on exhibition." The annual consumption of lead in the United States is about 85,000 tons. The production last year was 80.000 tons, and at the beginning of this year there were about 10,000 tons in stock. Fot the first half year of 1880 the production was 4ft,000 tons, and it is estimated that fcr the present calendar year the produc tion will amount to about 100 000 tons.

Mr. Van Opsin), of this city, is cred ited with possessing a breed of well trained carrier pigeons, and lie is re garded us an autbority on sueh. He says that the most valuable birds at present in use are called the Antwerp carriers, which species are a cross between the owl, or English pigeon and the Belgian cumulet (or highflyer). The cumulet is possessed of great " homcing " qualities, and besides ranks high in intelligence, while the English carrier is remarkable for its staying qualities or powers of en durance. Therefore, when these desir able qualities—endurance and speed— witli the " homeing" characteristic are combined in one bird, the Antwerp car rier is found in the greatest perfection. Their training commences when the birds are about three months old. The initiatory step consists in taking them about a mile from the parent's coop and letting them loose. The distance is doubled the next time, and so on pro gressively. The carrier is larger than the common pigeon and measures about fifteen inches in length and weighs from one and a fourth to one and a half pounds. The neck is long and the pec toral mUßclesare large. An appendage of naked skin hangs across the bill and continues down either side of (the lower mandible. Those pigeons are considered the best thai have the appendage rising high on the head, and of considerable width across the bill, and that are also distinguished bv a wide naked circlet around the eyes. In England it is usual to keep the birds in a darkened cellar, where they are sparingly fed, for six hours previous to their flight. The message is usually fastened round the upper part of the bird's leg, but care must be taken that it is not tied so as to impede the bird's flight. For centuries the carrier pigeon served a purpose which is now served by the electric telegraph, and their usefulness has not yet entirely departed. It is known that these birds bad been util ized to carry message's by the Asiatics and Romans, and during the cruside of St. Ixiuis they were so employed. Ac cording to Tasso carrier pigeons were used in the siege of Jerusalem; and Ariosto makes the Castellan di Damiata spread the news of Orriilo's death by a messenger dove. It is well known that during the last siege of Paris these birds were employed to carry messages be yond the German lines. lying docu ments printed by micro-photography on films indestructible by water, and weighing on.y a few grains, were thus transmitted with gnat success. Tfnir conspicuous utility during this memor able siege has not been lost sight of by the French government and other Eu ropean powers. In the Jardin d'Aceli matation, Paris, there are kept some five thousand carrier pigeons which are trained to penetrate into the furthest recesses of the republic. The different forts and cities are also stocked with these birds. Prussia also and other Continental powers cultivate these aerial messengers, that they may be utilized in case of war when telegraphic and oilier modes of communication arc de stroyed. It is said that the founder of j the great hank ins house of the Roths-, childs made the hulk of his colossal for- j tune through the instrumentality of these fleet-winged messengers. To him carrier pigeons brought the result of the struggle between the contending hosts on the plain of Waterloo. Thus he re ceived the earliest information of the Anglo-Prussian victory and was thereby enabled to take advantage of the coming change in the money market. These aerial couriers are brought to the greatest perfection in Europe. In 1878 a sort of international carrier con test took place in Belgium. A flock of pigeons were let loose in Rome, and the distance thence to Brussels (725 miles) direct was made in a little less than seven days. In 187 birds were let loose from Madrid, and they traversed the intervening space to their respective corps in various towns in Belgian (computed at about 750 miles) in one week. During the present year other car riers fl< w from Bsn Sebastian to Belgian towns and cities (040 miles) in a day and a half. This is considered the swiftest time for that number of miles on record. From France, pigcena made their way to Antwerp in twtlve hours. In 1878 six birds, the property of Messrs. Van Opstal, of this city, and Donner, of Brooklyn, were let fly from Columbus, Ohio, and all returned home, some in good time, the others at irregu lar intervals. Two of Mr. Van Op stal's and one of Mr. Donner's turned np at the home coop on the second day; two others on the tenth day. and one was three weeks absent. The last bird came home wounded. It having been shot in the body. Carrier pigeons that a** remarkable for heir speed and endurance command as High a price as S2OO. The owner o one bird of this character refused l,ooof ($uo0) for one of his pets. Mr. Van Opstal owned a bird—Jupiter—which died two years ago, and which he would not have parted with at any price. He regarded the bird as the champion long distance flyer of America. Jupiter generally carried away the first prise in all the contests of his day. He won a gold and silver medal from the Phila delphia Unciers and was equally suc cessful in other contests. Daring a journey from Pittsburg to this city Jupi ter was wiecked in a storm, but fought bravely to nave the gate money. When the bird, which had started on it* memorable journey with thirty other competitor*, arrived home it was plain to be seen tiiat he was sick. He never rallied, and all that was mortal of the once great flyer is now stuffed and in the possession of Mr. Van Opstal.— New York /It raid. A Mysterious California Lake. What is known as Dead lake lies be tween Lake Earl and the coast, about midway on a line from the mill to what is known as Keller's, pond. There are many strange stories connected with this mysterious lake, which has no visi ble outlet, and yet, despite the ceaseless flow of a small stream whijh empties into it, retains a uniform volume of water. ftg depths have been sounded, and though it has been asserted that both m was found at a depth of twenty five feet, this must have been very near to the shore, as others who have dared to venture upon its dark waters report that there is a considerable area where no bottom can be found. There is an old Indian legend in regard to the origin of the lake. Long years ago, long before the invading Jeei of the white man had sought this coast, there dwjt here a numerous Indian tribe. Many summers they lived in peace and contentment. The waters abounded with fish, the forests were filled with game, and the Indian's heart was glad. Hut at last came the time of sorrow. One day the old chief while at council, became angered at one of the most respected men of the tribe, and struck him to the ground. This one blow forever destroyed the harmony which had until then existed. The friends of the gray-haired councilman rebelled at the authority of their chief and (Tied for vengeance. But the greater portion of the tribe remained loyal and were victorious, pursuing the van quished and fleein enemy (back amcng the sand dunes near the coast. The heart of the Indian god, Ciut-te nog-gy, was filled with wrath because of this discord among his people, and he determined to inflict a terrible punish ment. The heavens became covered with menacing clouds of terrible dark ness. and the wind swept over the sbifb ing sands, blinding and blocking the way of pursued and pursuer. Suddenly a deafening sound brokej upon their ears, and, like the jaws of a mighty dragon, the earth opened beneath their feet and they were swallowed from sight. The storm burst in all its wild lury, the'torrenta poured into the gaping abyss, and the rippling waters of Dead lake now lave the sides of that sepuleher. To this day no Indian can be induced to approach Dead lake. They tell the story that two, bolder than the others, conquered their dread, and building a canoe ventured upon its waters, hut they were never heard of afterward. Its depths are said to be infested with reptiles of enormous dimensions, to which assertion a strong semblance of truth is given by the re port of F. W. Wilson, Esq.. last sum mer, that he saw an immense serpent in the vicinity ol Lske Earl. This mon ster Ophidian doubt ess crossed over from Dead lake, and as it has not sinoe been s<en. the probability is that it has returned to its home.— Crescent (My (Oal.) Record. Diamond Catting in Sew Tork. Among the curious and interesting.in dust rial facta hrought to light dung the census inquiries not the least is the fact that the recently introduced art of diamond cutting has been so admirably developed here that diamonds cut in Amsterdam are now sent to this city for recutting. Hitherto Amsterdam has monopolised the work of diamond cut ting; and the aim there has been to re move in cutting the least p. esib.e weight of the gem. The American plan is to cut mathematically, according to the recognized laws of light, so as,to secure the utmost brilliancy for the finished stone. The greater loss in weight, as compared with the Amsterdam cutting, is thus more than made good by the superior brilliancy of the product. From inquiries made by the chief special cen sus agent, it appears that the average in crease of value given to diamonds by the Now York cutting is 9&.000 for each person employed for twelve months; also, that our dealers are receiving the best Amsterdam-cut gems from abroad to be recut here and returned.— Scientific American.
