Minn IVrkiim was one off he Ixnrn n sravators if humanity in I'lior.t ami in particular. Mitn-rva Vom(f.irl felt hor ribly teiniitoil to tell her so. 15tit Miner va had wonderful nelf-contrtil for Kin-h smiling, azure eyes, ami tliicji-inasseil, unoiivernal'le auburn hair. It was m li'lit iiuKisition, this that she ha; burnt: I thnitiohout that "lnriouH uiiilsuiumcr ai- j ternoxin ; th company of Miss Perkins J to tea," the threads of guHsip Miss I'er- i kins unraveled (inch lor ihvh w ith the yarn of the jjreat gray balls from which she was always knitting ugly sUjckin-s for Heaven knew whom) and knit up silowly with her own jafuliar skill of nar ration into a substance quite as ugly and lurable as the products of her own hands. it was one of Miss IVrtins' self-enjoin ed duties to communicate disagreeable tidings. She felt a delightful sense of K'ace and contentment now that she had concluded her task of enlightening her voting and motherless hostess. "'Xervie asa good girl and hadn't ought to be deceived leastest," she said to herself, "more 'specially by raich a worthless critter as that Jason Hawks." "I didn't s'jMise you'd care so much," she repeated, with an air of miathy. Minerva was reaching through the win dow to break off some of the pink roses that hung there, red-riK? and luscious. She did not oliey her impulse to turn and sjieak sharply. 81. e did not say out her thought. "Xervie!" how she hated to lie called "Xervie!" No one with any sense called her anything but Minnie. Xo one but Miss Elvira Perkins. She wbshed Miss Perkins would never come to see her. She thought all this, but what she said was milder, as she faced about carelessly, and stood arransnng the roses. " I am sure I hardly understand you, Miss Perkins. Why should you suppose I eared for w hat was- said alniut Jason Haw ks ? Surely be has u right to marry whom be pleases." She might have h.-en a little paler than usual, but her voice was quite steady. Miss Perkins smiled d soreetly. " There ain't much chance for the young girls," she observed, " w hen there's, a designiu widow come to town. Mis' I'arrall's just got Jason Hawk's A'ound completely round her linger. Tisn't that's so much account, though if he'd married you, you could've had a good in fluence. He's altogether too fond of race horses and such like evil doings. lint for her to come and set lii-rstdl tip so mightily why, she ain't once returned your call now, I'll be IriiiiiiL" Minerva's lovely face flushed painfully at the reminder. She step nil from sit ting rixnii to kitchen and put some water iu a vase for the roses. Her heart throb bed wifh a great ache, but never should her caller know it. " It's almost time far father to come," she said, quietly. "I'm going to set the table now, Miss Perkins. Will you it by theibair? I'll bring your chair." "Oh, law! lean manage for myself," said the elderly maiden, rising in some haste to push the wiaalen na-ker before her over the sill and down the length of the shining kitchen. I: was a wing of the house facing the road, and the door wasojK'n. A sudden hunf-beat and a rumble of wheels on the soft and yellow dusty road. A carriage spun by after a certain well known pair of wrll know n horses. Miss Perkins sent up a shrill little cry of triumph. " I never ! there they go ; he's driving her out to the fair grounds. What do you think of that, 'Xervie?" P.ut Minerva made no reply. Miss Perkins turned, only to see the girl slip quietly from the room. Miss Perkins sat there alone far a con siderable sjiace. The tea-kettle had be gun to sing cheerily. The snowy table cloth and the shining glassware had an inviting asect. There was plenty of Miss Perkins' favorite sauce and sweet pickle ; there was just the kind of tea biscuit and cocoanut cake that she doted on. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands with a sigh of thankfulness for duty performed and blessings about to lie enjoyed. Then Minerva's father arrived. "How'dy, Miss Perkins," he said. " Where's Minnie?" Minerva reapiamred, just a little pale and shadowy around the eyes. "Here 1 am, father," she said, gently ; " tea is ready, I had something to do, I'd most forgotten. Miss Perkins went away just after tea. Site did not stop to " help 'Ner-ie do the dishes," as usual. It was getting dark and she had a long walk, she suddenly remeuiliered. Minerva went almt her work quite unsatisfied. Her father was due at some meeting, and so presently she was left alone in the house. . Somerset SOMERSET, A terrible sense of depression fell upon her. She wondered if Jason Hawks were coming. She was quite prepared. She had everything ready to return to him his letters) and t ie little pearl ring he had given her. Everything was wrapjied se curely ; the jiackage was Uo heavy for her ocket quite too heavy. She won dered if he would come. And how should she feel when she had given all back to him and said that they had bet ter part? She hardly knew. Oh, life was hard ami bitter! Jason had loved her antil that woman had come to the village .the "designing widow," as Miss Perkins had said. Perhaiis Miss Perkins was right. Minerva finished her work and went to sit on the porch. The air was heavy with the scent of rosesand honeysuckles. And she felt her heart within her as cold as a stone. She had sat there less than half an hour w hen the gate opened and a form familiar.came swiftly up the walk. Her cold heart seemed for a moment to stand still. Then it throbiied painfully. "(iood evening," she answered verv quietly to his "good evening." Put she didn't give him her hand. The rest all came nUmt very swiftly. O pride, for thy stern sake how many hearts are wrung ! He should never know that she had learned his treachery. He should sim ply believe she did not can' for him. " Hem tire your letters and the ring," she said swiftly, glad that the darkness veiled her pallor. Jason Hawks received :liem, in bitter silent. " As you choose, then, coquette," he muttered, und, turning, strode away. Minerva Woodford tossed wakefully upon her bed that night. It was the first great trouble of her life. First troubles are so bitter. Everything recurred to her every thing that Miss Perkins had told her con cerning Mrs. Harnoll. The widow was young and pretty. Why should Jason catre for her? She had come from therity and was bright with city ways and city talk. She seemed to have money in abundance. Oh, it was cruel ! The whole thingwas cruel ! Minerva fell asleep onlj- toward the dawn. She rose pale and heavy eyed for the morning, yet strong in the inten tion of concealing her grief. The summer day dragged heavily to ward noon, more heavily after. Time was so long, so long. It seemed a centu ry since Miss Perkins had been there with her tale of Jason Hawk's devotion to the young widow. Hut the dream was over. It was Mincna's task to forget their plighted vows, to forget the hand some face that had lcen so dear to her. Irobab!v he would leave the vil lage when he had married the widow. Minerva's eyes grew dim ; she felt a choking sensation anil gtepied to the open door, hoping the soft summer breeze would cool Iter hot forehead. As she stood there she suddenly heard a sharp cry of distress, then something tore past in the road, beating up the yel low dust in blinding clouds. " A runawav," she said, and her heart seemed to cease beating for an in stunt. She ran down the path and out into the road. The horses had dashed on, but something of a wreck was perceptible a short distance oil'. Minerva thought she could set; some one. lying by the roadside. She ran on toward it at her utmost speed. " Oh, Jason, Jason !" she moaned, bending dow n over him. Not dead, thank heaven ! Only stunned, jM-rhaiis. She raised his head, and ask ed herself what next Turning for a moment she looked back dow n the mad aud saw some one going in at her own gate. It was a woman, She flew back toward home to usk help of whomever it might Ik-. It was Mrs. Harnell ! She was very pale, and addressed the girl anxiously. " I urn afraid an a.x'idcnt has hap pened Mr. Haw ks. His team ran away and " "He is lying in the mad unconscious " Minerva interrupted. "Will you help me some way to " " I't us go quickly," said the other. And so they had not lost an instant. Jason had come to himself. " Padly shaken up, that's all," he said -ith an unnerved laugh, and leaning on their arms, limped back to Minerva's home. Minerva drew up the arm chair in the sitting room and left him there with Mrs. larnell, going herself into the kitchen to make a cooling drink for her guests, per force. Through the oen diKir Itetwccn the rooms she could hear Jason's voice, gloomy and disturlied. "(rood thing, K-rhajis, if I had been killed. Wouldn't have cared much." " ( )h, but you shouldn't say that," the soft voice of Mrs. Haniell replied. " You ought to cart;. Things may come right, you know." Minerva's heart seemed to twist up within her in a sudden jealous frenzy. She could fancy just how the widow's daik, soft eyes were gazing into his; just how her white and graceful hand lay on his arm. Yes, things might come right. Hut why should Jason sj-eak gloomily?.

" Miss Woodford," said a soft, smooth voice from out among the roses, "won't you pica.se come out here a moment?" Minerva obeyed. The widow came near the girl and laid her gentle hand upon her arm. "I have heard so much of you," she said, in a low tone. " I felt as if we might be friends. I have leen trying to come and see you for so long ; I was on my way this morning.

Y To prevent the juice of , fruit pies from soaking into the under crust, rub the crust over w ith a lieaten egg. A sjxKinful of oxgall to a gallon of wa ter will set the colors of almost any goods soaked in it previous to washing. To keep cake from sticking to the pan without using . taper, after greasing the pan, sift a little flour in, then turn it over ami shake out all tl.at you can. In cooking cabliage, put a small piece of popper into the pot. Tt will not only improve the tate of the Vegetable, but prevents any liarmful results iu the eat ing therof. (iraie Pie: One egg, one teacupftil of sugar, one heaping teacupluf of grapes. Beat the egg and sugar together, then add the grapes, one tablefpoonful of flour and a little butter. Bake' with two crusts. ; Hot Waffles: Sift one ' quart of flour, add four well-beateu egos, one and a half pints of buttermilk, tftblsjioonful of lard and a haif a teaspoonful of salt; bake iu well greased waffle irons. When baked, sift over with powdered flour. A carpet can be mended by cutting a piece like the caqiet a little larger than the hole. Put paste around the edge of the patch, then slip it under the carpet and rub it well with a warm iron until dry. If the figure is matched it makes a very neat job as w ell us attack one. S-.ilt jMirk pancakes: Cut the airk into very thin slices make a batter of a cup of flour, one egg and enough sweet milk to thin it; dip the pork into the batter and fry in hot lard until brown. Serve hot, but do not place the cakes one upon the other, as by so doing they In-come heavy. Paint on the walls of a kithcen is much better than kalsomine or whitewash. Any woman who can whitewash can paint her own kitchen. The wall needs first to lie mashed with soajsud.-i, then covered with a coat of dissolved glue; this must be allowed to dry thoroughly, and then covered with paint A broad, Hat brush dx-s the work quickly. A iH'liciotts Pudding: Iut in a bowl half a pound of flour, add a pinch of salt, and stir in very gradually two gills of new milk, In-at it until quite smooth, then add three eggs. Pour aliout half the mixture into a buttered pie-dish and put it into the oven to get firm. Then nearly fill the dish with apples jiared, cored, sliced und slightly stewed w ith a little sugar and lemon rind. Pour the rest of the baiter over them and bake one hour and a half. Solomon's Judgment in China. Two women came ls-fore a mandarin in China, runs an ancient Cninese chron icle each of them protesting that she was the mother of a little child they had brought with them. They were so eager and so lawitive that the ninudarin was sorely puzzled. He retired to cousult with his wife, who was a wise and clever woman, whose opinion was held in great repute in the neighla-irhood. She requested five minutes iu which to deliberate. At the end of the time she sjaike : "Iet the servants catch me a large fish in the river, und let it be brought me bote alive." This was done. " Bring me now the infant," she said, " but leave the women in the outer cham ber." This was done too. Then the manda rin's wife caused the baby to lie undress ed, ami its clothes to be put on the large fish.. Carry the creature outside now, and throw it into the river in the sight of the two women. The servant obeyed his orders, fling- ind the fish into the water, where it roll ed about and struggled, ' disgusted, no doubt, by the wrapping in which it was swaddled. Without a moment's pause, one of the mothers threw herself into the river with a shriek. She must save her drown ing child. "Without a doubt, she is the true moth er, she declared ; and the mandarin s wife c unmanded that she should be res cued and the child given to her. "Withont doubt, she is the true moth er," she declared. And the mandarin nod. led his head, and thought his wife the wisest woman in the Flowery King dom. Meantime the falie mother crept away. She was found out in her impos ture, and the mandarin's wife forgot all aliotit her in the occupation of dressing the little baby in the best silk she could find in her wardrobe.

The town has been thronged with jieople from the sur rounding country all day, while quite a numticrof visitors from a distance took in the always impressive services of Mem orial Day at Gettysburg. At 2 o'chick in the afternoon the prK.'css:oii, headed by the Grand Army band of this place, and cotiiosed of the ora'or, poet and distin guished guests in carriages, Sons of Vet erans, Bed Men and fi.A.R. veterans un der Captain James Hersh, as chief mar shal, with Dr. T.T. Tate aud John S. Dun can as aides, marched to the National Cemetery. After the ceremonies by the Posts the children of the public schools strewed a profusion of flowers over the 3,-r)M0 graves in the cemetery and the vast throng surrounded the vine-clad rostrum. J. M. K ninth, secretary of the Memorial Assca iaticm, called the assembly to order and aft ;r music by the Fairfield Glee Club Bev. T. J. liarkley, of tl'ie Reformed Church, Gettysburg, ojieiiod with prayer. The orator of the day, Colonel A. Wilson N'orris, Auditor General of Pennsylvania, was introduced and in a carefully prepar ed oration dwelfupon the glory achieved by the private soldier. In his introduc tion he sjaike pathetically of the heroes who slept in the graves la-fore him and while he would not detract from the hon or of those who commanded, yet he knew full well w ith what acrimonv different of ficers had defended their movements am he said that it was not to the grand strut egy of her generals, but to the stubborn courage of her rank and file that victory crowned the union arms at Gettysburg. Speaking of the intelligent enthusiasm of the American soldier he showed how achieved results far beyond those reach ed by the mere mechanical tactics of the soldiery of the past. In conclusion he said that the lessi.u taught by experience in the late war was that we can tely ou the sturdy self-reliance of our people hi all exigencies. Col. DewiU C. Sprague, of Washington D. C, delivered a ixcm on "The ln known," which was a fitting afterpiece to the oration. Bev. Dr. II. W. McKnigh president of Pennsylvania College, pro nounced the benediction. This morning, headed bv the band and accompanied by members of Post f, the colored veterans and school children decorated the graves of colored soldiers, With a contrilmtion by the veteran asso ciation of the Fourteenth Connecticnt Regiment all the Connecticut graves here were to-duv decorated w ith flags and rare flowers, the same arrangements applyin to all the soldiers' graves of that State in the various cemeteries of the ("nion. at i."h,.vn's tomii. Wash is;tox, May 'M. I eeoration Day was observed as a general holidav in this city, and all the government departments, District offices, banks and many business houses were closed. The day was bright and cool, and large numbers of people at tended the ceremonies at the various cemeteries, while many others went on picnics. The Grand Army Posts having charge of the cereVionies at Arlington were es cort ed to West Wash inofon bv the mili tia companies in camp, under command of General James B. Carnahani, of Indi ana, with Clonel Charles King, of Wis consin, as his chief of staff. The colored Posts were saluted by the Southern com panics when the escort came to a halt in the same manner as the militia Posts were. The first division of the procession was made up as follows; Yicksburg South rons and band, Belknap Rifles, Lomax Rifles, BuIIene Guards of Kansas City, L inisville legion and drum corps, Amer ican Cadet Band of Milwaukee, the Eighth separate company of Xew York, Company D, Thirty-second New York, Grand Rapids Guards of Michigan and Custer Guards of Michigan. The second division was composed of hx'al military coinpanies and tl. A. R. Posts. At Arlington, the gnives of the un known dead were first di-corated and then the gravs of other fallen soldiers. The it-remonies were ojieped with an in vocation by Rev. S. II. ( ireen, of Calvary Baptist Church, after which an original poem, " Why These Flairs and Flowers," was read bv Comrade Burger. Music was rendered by the Marine Band, and orations were delivered bv Contrressman Matson, ofTndiantt, and Ex-Congressman C. M. Anderson, of Ohio. .t the SoMieri Homo the ceremonies were conducted by Kit Carson Post, No, 2, and the veterans of the home were present, the program included music, prayer by the Rev. Byp'n Sunderland aud an oration by ieiieral Wager Swayne of New York. The services at the tomb of ieneral I gan in R-a-k Creek Cemetery were pic turesque and interesting. Such prolusions of floral tributes as decorated the last, resting-place of the dead General has randy been seen. The gniceful marble facade of the tomb was almost hidden from view by great shields, cnisscs and other devices cunningly wrought in flowers of vivid hues. Two waving flags of immortalles on a ground of ferns, hearing the words " Brave Ia gan " rested against the emblematic figure ut the top, stmt bv the irand Armv of the Republic Department of Illinois. l!e neath it was suspended a gigantic wreath of w hite roses from John A. Logan's father-in-law, Mr. Andrews. The Young Re publicans of Philadelphia contributed a large easel, louring cross, crown and swords. Mrs, Stanford sent a piece eom tx ised of an anchor and bleeding heart lxmiid with satin ribbon. U. S. Gnint Post, of Brooklyn, was represented by a shield of roses and immortelles and the local posts of the Grand Army of the lie public displayed as their tribute an elab orate corps badge and national shields. In the interior of the tomb the floral dec orations seemed to be even more profuse than outside. Mrs. Logan who had teinperarily occu pied the sentrie's tent, was given a seat on the left of the tomb. She was accom panied by Mrs. Tucker, John A. Logan, Jr., Manning Lopin, and wife and Mrs. Brady. Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman offered an affecting invocation, which was fol lowed by a poem eulogistic of Jeneral Logan, delivered by Professor Edward Townsend. The orator of the occasion, Thomas II. McKee, delivered an oration. THE DAV IX NEW YoKK. New Yobk, May 30. The street in era the lower part of the city to-day were deserted and there was a general suspen sion of business. All the public buildings were closed. The post otlice was open until 10 o'clock and there was one de livery by carriers. The Custom House was open for an hour the entry and cUiar anceof vessels, after which the clerks took a holiday. While the streets in the lower part of the city were deserted, the vicinity ot Union and M.flivm Squares, and the street through which the pro cession passed were crowded w ith pedes trains and vehicles. A large number of Icople went to Riverside Park and Irant's tomb. The fl.igs on the public building were ut half-mast, and the fronts of nu merous hotels and residences were dra tieil with flags and bunting. Thousands of people came from New Jersey and Brooklyn to witness the pantile. The monuments in Union and Madison Spiares were tastefully decorated with flowers and bunting. From 0 until 10 a. m. Fifth avenue and the cross streets from Fifty-ninth street, to Madison Square were choked with a mass of humanity. At 10 o'clis-k the procession started, headed by the Tenth Regiment Bund, of Albany, which pre recded the Old. Guard, in command of Major George W. McLean. The veter ans, with delegations from the several Grand Army of Republic Pests, who marched on either flank, uuti-d as an escort and guard of honor to Goertior Hill. The Governor and his stall were followed by carriages containing Gener als William T. Sherman, Phil Sheridan Mayor Hewitt, President Henry B. Beck man and the members of the Board of Aldermen, ieneral Daniel E. Sickles an 1 other invited guests. All the military organizations of the city were paraded ur.d a squal of mounted police. It is est: mated that there were 15,000 men in line. Governor Hill and his stair reviewed the procession from the stand on the west side of Madison -Square. The Old Guard, with bear-skin shakos, preceded by the Tenth Regiment Band, of Albany escorted the Governor and staff and dis tinguished guests to the grand stand. Ing before the time of the opening of the proceedings at the tomb of ieneral Gnmt Riverside Park was crowed with citizens of all nationalities. In front of the tomb and on the south were erected platforms large enough to accommodate one thousand people. Every seat was occupied by the (irand Army men anil their friends. The tomb itself was one mass of flowers. A nninla-r of the floral offerings were from Europe. The casket could scarcely lie seen for the profusion of flowers and evergreens. Outside along the cornice was a broad band of immor telles. It was about a foot wide and out of its white ground in relief, stood tiie motto: "In wara foe; in peace a friend." The motto was formed of violets. On top was a cross made? of white immor telles with red and blue flowers alterna ting along the edges. Over the whole hung tin aiping smilax and ferns. On tiie front centre of the broad band of immor telles was a fi. A. R. badge made of the same flowers. The star pendant was of white with colored border. The ribbons were an almost perfect representation of the stars and stripes. The colors were made to blend so artistically that a most picturesque effect was prod u ceil. Imme diately under this was the red work of the tomb. Alaive the iron gate was the the gener.-il's ejaulette composed of am ber and black immortelles. The border was amber and the ground Work black so us to contrast with the four amlierstars iu the design, which indicated the late (ieneral Grant's ntnk. It was a symlnil of the special rank that was croated by Congress for (iener al Grant. The evergreens were irathen-d from Mount Powell. Montana, which is lf,.V feet alave the sea, and was offer ed bv the Comrade of the Post at leer Lodge, Montana. Along the side of the tomb were placed geraniums and other plants. At each side of the sepulchre were two, raised platforms, and tokens of resjatt sent front all quarters. I . .. (ir.mt Pot, No. ", of Philadelphia, sent i beautiful scarlet wreath of flowers. The George G. Meade Post, Xo. 1, of the (iuaker City, ulso sent a magnificent star, four feet w ide, with blue border, while Ivomul with violet in the words " The Star of America." Inside this was a nil band, and green moss tilled the inter- pecks between that and the points of a bin yellow star, with the name of the Post emblazoned on its surface in raised letters of violets. Next to Captain Min er's token this was the most unique. Just liefon- the procession came up to the tomb Fred D. Grant, his wife mid two children, Mrs. ('ranter, Mrs. Dent and Ulysses S. Grunt, Jr.,.arrived. The little ones ran to bars that guard the tomb and with uncovered heads the two stalwart park oflicers lifted them up to view the remans of their grandfather and the na-' tion'shero. Colonel Fred remained lie hind, while the ladies of his escort sob l;d and looked on, and it was only when the approaching funeral strains fell on his ear that he quietly moved to a place on the stand. Early in the day Mrs. Grant had sb.vxl at the tomb and, entering, had placed her iiersonal token of flowers iijain the steel casket within. Though the narrow spin was filled with foliage, hers was the only o!r'ring of blooming flowers. All else was of heavy leaved and dark green plants, then .Mrs. Grunt went away to her home, not to be present when the public should come to the ser vices there. Just before the arrival of Col. Grant and his party Gen. Sherman arrived, but did not remain long; 20.U00 persons were present when the services began at 3::50 o'clock. Grant Post, of Brooklyn, wusin charge, and assisting were Morgan and Hamilton Posts, with two bands, which played dirge music. There was a platoon of police, all veteran soldiers from Brook lyn. Veteran Captain McKelvey com manded, and liehiud him, under the uni form police helmet, was his father, w ho also was a soldier. Fifty colored lads in uniform marched to the tomb with flowers. When all was ready a band reiderel the funeral wail and triumph of Chopin, after which (KxmrrrHl the ritual of the irand Army. The Young Apollo Club next rendered a memorium by" Dudley Buck.

Paper Boats, Paper Car Wheels and Paper Clothes. R. R. Bowker In II irper's Maxaine for June. One of the most remarkable uses of pa per is the building of piijK-r laiats, under the patent, recent! v expired, of E. Wa ters, of Latirtinghtirg, near Troy, Xew York. These bouts are made of an onli nary Manilla pai-er of god quality, usu ally in five thicknesses, in all only on sixteenth of aa inch thick, except in Kirts where there is the reinforcement of one or two extra strips The process of making them is simple. A rnodi-l of soft June is made the full size of the lmat, the bow end being of two pieces which ran lie detached. The paper is delivered in long rolls ; the model is turned upside down on a long frame ; one narrow strip of paper and then a second are first laid on where the keel would be, and then one, two, three, four, five sheets are suc cessively laid along and moulded close to the model, each us it is put on beingcoat- ed with shellac and with glue to attach the next sheet closely to it. Thus done up in paper, the models an-taken to a drying-room, w here a heat of about 1 o0 F., continued for five days, consolidates the glue. 1 paper into a solid mass. The movable pieces of wkk1 at tiie liow are unscrewed and taken out, und with this place for a start, it is easy to pea! the boat off the modi I, as a H-ach skin comes utr a fresh peach. A kei I is now fastened inside he boat, several extra layers :f shellac are put on outside) and inside, a strip of wixkI is fastened in tor a gunwale, and the shell is presently ready fir its littincs, seats and out-riggers. They are iin-sliy racing shells, from single-scull up to eight-oar, but one Iw.at has been built as large as 42 feet long by 4 feet 4 inches lieam, to hold forty-two arsons, this, of course, being stayed by woes leu ribs; and a steam launch 10 feet lowr, worked by a one-horse-power oil engine, lmat and engine together weiohingbut 4:) pounds, was last till siici-essftiily run at a speed of about ten rnili-s per hour on the upper Hudson. The cost is something above that of wood. The sinale-scull, 21 feet long by 10 inches beam, costs from $io to f H.Kl ; the ei t-oared shell, about tit) feet long, by 21 inches w ide, costs $100. It is an interesting fact that the ruing shells of Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, in ln-sii were all from the same model from tl.is shop, so that the contest was entirely one of skill on even terms.

The "paper wheel" is made up of this disk of compressed paper, surrounded by a steel tire, and fitted with a cast-iron hub, which is bored for the axle; wrought iron plates protect the paper disk on ci ther side, and all are bolted together by two cin-les of laiits, one set passing through u flange of the tire, the other through a flange of the hub, ami laith through the paja-r o utre and its protect ing plates. The real service of the pajier is in i:i terjiosing a non-vibrating substani-e twecn the axle and the tire, so that the vibrations, w hich iu some unknown way rearrange the atoms of meia! so that it brittlesan! breaks after long wear are pre vented. Nature always has a way of wear ing things out, whether it lie man, lest he lag sujiertluotis on the stage, or "the everlasting hills " themselves, but in the case of comjiressed jiajier art seems to have got ahead of nature, for it seems not to wear out at all. The steel tire of these wheels do wear down, and are then re turnHl in a lathe to smaller diameter ; but when they are gone and taken off, the paper bliick apja-ars again as gcaal as new, and ready for a new tire. The pa jier wheel has the one disadvantage of greater cost, but its longer life and greater safety are in its favor. "Straw lundier," so called, is a similar apjilieation of pajr for building pnrjais es ; it is used, not for pists or beams, Init in the place of lathe and plaster, for sheathing, etc. An onlinary "straw board" paper is made on the cylinder machine the refuse bedding ol stables being very largely utilized as the materi al and is mn through a vat of resin ami other water-proofing material heated to WAP F. A number of sheets are then placed together between metal plates and subjected like the car wheel to enormous pressure in a hydraulic iress. The result is a very hard and solid blackish board, about three sixteenths of an inch thick, which can be cut with a- saw or clasel, nd is marketed in slabs 12 feet by ".2 inches, at a price of ulamt 40 per tfMiu sand feet.

The non-conducting quality of paper has caused a enriou development in America of the paper-box industry, so that the loer of oysters may "take home a fry in a box " to keep it hot or a brick of ice cream to keep it cool. The Chi nese and Japanese are said to make pa per clothes, and their handkerchiefs and napkins are well known to iw, but Amer ican achievements in this direction have been confined chiefly to paper collars, culfs and " bonoius," sometimes w ith a backing of cloth, which may be pasted on after making, but which is conjoin! with tiie paper ut some mills by reeling the cloth oif parallel with the web of at, jut, and pressing the two permanently together lietween rollers.

At the Is'gining of March the gardens of Egypt are re-ally wonderful ; the ro ange and lemon trees spreal their most pungent odor, the nise trees are covered with innumerable flowers ; the palms, with their green and white crowns, swing there in the wind ; the oleanders there border the avenues; on the lawns, ane mones, annual and perpetual flowering pinks, chrysanthemums, violets, zinnias, ieriw inkles, snap-dragons, mignonette, pansies, ja-tunias blend their innumerable colors with the green of the trees, bushes and shrub. Groups of bamboo left here and ther their long green or golden stems, crowned with an immense plume of pretty little trembling leaves.

With sfime experiern'e in this direction upon a hilly Southern farm the writer has b-en led to believe tiiat seeding the most sloping lands to grass or clover and deep plowing are the best remedies for I 'he evil. A leadly washed field plowed eight inches deep with a irol hillside plow and sown with oats and mixed w ith grass has lieen subjected to one of the most sweej'iug and injurious rain tor rents known for some years back. The field escaped practically without injury, a small part of it sloping two ways to shallow gulch or cove only being at iu Wished, and tuis no more torn a few furmws where the water, which the soil could not absorb, flowed ofTto the lower level. A field on an adjoining farm, jdowed with the common bull tongue was bereft of all the plowed soil, which flowed in torrents bf mud down the sloja.
