A lielple ImiIk. to reet the light
With a Kharji w ail, an if the morn
Foretold a cloudynoon and night ;
To ween, to wlevp, and weep by fun.
With ninny rtiuile between, and then?
And thus apace the infant (frows
To to UuKliinp, uprightly laiy,
Happy, despite hla little woes,
Were he but conM-iou of hifi Joy !
To be, iu bort from one to ten,
A merry, moody child, and then ?
And then iu coal and trow.ser elad
To learn to aay the Decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lnd,
W ith mi nh aud mischief all agog.
A truant oft by field and feu
And captured butterlUes, and then ?
And then, Increased in httvnjitu and size.
To be anon, a youth full grown ; .
A hero iu his mother's eyes,
A young Aiol!o in hie own ;
To imitate the wart-of men
In fashionable fin, and then ?
And then at bi4, to to a man.
To full in love, to woo and wed !
With fcevihiiijr brain t a scheme and plan
To gather gold, or toll for bread ;
To sue fr fume w fth tongue or pen ;
And gain or low the prize, and then
And then in grt'y und wrinkled Kid
To wourti the spinal of life's decline.
To praise the welie of youth beheld.
And dwell in memory of Lung Syne,
To dream aw hile w ith darkened ken.
And drop into the grave, aud then?

Miss I'tikins clearvil lit-r lliroat ami

" 1 vli.ln't w jaiMe you'll vara no lntii'li,
'Xervie," .-Jio said, ufier a nioineiit ol w-
lenee, (luring which the youii girl hail
t'.inieil her fin away.
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

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?. She had
given him his freedom.
The hand with which she offered him
the glass of lemonade shook jierceptibly.
Iid Jason oliscrve it ?
"I am going away to-morrow, Miss
Woodford," he said, rather stilly. " Per
haiis I may carry your good wishes with
me. I greatly regret having made you
this trouble.
The widow had slipjed out on the
porch. '
" It is no trouble whatever Mr. Haw ks,"
replied Minerva.
" 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. I'm afraid you feel un
kindly toward ixsir Jason. Please,
please don't feel so. He has not been to
blame "

was not aware of an unkind feelings. It
can interest vou but very little how I
feel." . . -
" Oh, but pardon uie 1 Jt interests me
exceedingly."
"Oh!" said Minerva, with sudden sar
casm. "To be sure! I forgot. Will you
permit me to congratulate Mr. Hawks T'
Mrs. Darnell looked perplexed.
"Congratulate? For what?"
" Upon his engagement to you," said
Minerva, with a little gasp.
"You foolish child! Who put such
nonsense in your head?" Mrs. Darnell
was actually laughing. " Did you fancy
why, child, I am six years older than
he. Iiesi les I am to marry his cousin
Frank, who is in Eumja? now. I thought
he had told you. There, now, run in to
him and make it all up. I'm off for the
present. But I'll be back.
Minerva turned into the house with
cheeks aflame.
"Jason," she said, "I I think I was
too hasty last night. It it was a mis
take." Jason sprang to his lift and drew her
into his arms.
" Who was it that came gossiping to
to you ? Wasn't it Miss Perkins V
" Yes," said Minerva, slowly. "It was
Miss Perkins. But I don't believe her
now."
Household Hints and Recipes.
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,

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 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

to the oration. Bev. Dr. II. W. McKnigh

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.

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,

ODD USES OF PAPER.
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

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

in the place of lathe and plaster, for
sheathing, etc. An onlinary "straw
board" paper is made on the cylinder

being very largely utilized as the materi

other water-proofing material heated to

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

The Garden of Egypt.
At the Is'gining of March the gardens
of Egypt are re-ally wonderful ; the ro

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

Washing of the Soil.

How to avoid it is otie of the serious
pr.iblems of the Southern agriculture.
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

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.

The lt medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of apjilieation, and
one that will, by its own action, reach all
the remote sores and ulcerate! surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh
dnring the past few years obliges as to ad
mit that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done, and both physician
and patients freely concede this fact. The
more distressing symptoms quickly yield
to it.
