less, and it keeps ont of tbe way of other
ehellfinh if it can, but its new shell
soon hardens, and then it goes about in
its accustomed manner.
The diicoratur increases greatly, per
haps a third in size, almost immediate
ly after leaving its old shell, which it
scarcely seems possible it couid ever
have inhabited, but it -gets out cf tb3
old shell nevertheless without damag

most lifelike form.
The decorators at tbe aqaarium are
fed separately, so that each will be sure
to get its portion. Tbo food is put down
to them on the tip of a little stick,
which is shaken gently over them, aud
the food, thus detached, falls within tbo
crabs' grasp. There is no current in tbe
balanced tanks iu which tbe smaller
decorators are, and anything dropped iu
the water drops straight down. The
other day there were found in one of
these tanks, clinging to tbe clva, two
decorators, which were supplied, as
usual, by placing their food in the wa
ter where they would be sure to get it.
Dciug somewhat pressed fur time that
day, however, the man who fed them
did not wait to see the crabs actually
cut. lie placed their food within reach
and trusted them to do the rest.
But glancing iu at tbis tank on his
return from feeding tbe small fishes and
things in the other balanced tanks be
raw the two decorators that he bad

backs, smiled us they thought of the

Croquettes.
The secret of having croquettes firm,
lies iu their being mixed for a long
time. Tbe meat should be cbepped very
fine after being freed from all fat and
pristle, and about a half pint of milk
allowed to each pint of meat. The milk
should be put over tbe fire while a ta
blospoonf ul of butter aud tablespoon
f ols of flour are rubbed together. The
bot milk is then added, and the whole
cooked to a thick, smooth paste. Mean
time, to a pint of chopped meat is added
a tables-poonful of chopped parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, the grated rind of
a lemon, and a teaspoonfal of onion
juice, if that is liked, or some cooka
simply rub a halved onion over tbe
luisiug bowL Tbe srswvied meat is then
aiti'Ted into the pu.-i j aud the whole
turned out to cool. The meat should be
ullowed to stand for at least 2 hours be
fore it is molded into croquettes. Dip
first in eggs, then in bread crumbs, and
fry in smoking hot fat I'cwdered shred
ded biscuits will be found a pleasant
variety to tbe bread cruinba. It is a
caution, by the way, in the use of these
biscuits, where brtad irumbs are re
quired, that they are very unsuccessful
in escalloped tomatoes. They are too

CAKE WALK IS FRENCH.
When It Orirlnated. It Also Stood For m
Marriage Ceremony.
The cake walk properly had its origin
among the French negroes of Louisiana
more than a century ago. There is lit
tle doubt that it is an offshoot of some
cf tbo old French country dances. It re
sembles several cf tbem in form. From
New Orleans it spread over the entire
south aud thence north. It was found of
convenience to the plantation negroes.
They were not wedded by license, and
it was seldom that tbe services of a
preacher were called in.
At a cake walk a man might legiti
mately show bis preference for a wom
an and thus publicly claim her for a
w ife. In effect the cake walk was not
different from the old Scotch marriage,
which required only public acknowledg
ment from tbe contracting partina. So
tbis festival became in some sense a
wooing, an acceptance or rejection and
a ceremony. This explains its popular
ity with the blacks, outside cf its beau
ties, with tbo accompaniment of mu
sic, which is competent at all times to
command negro support
Cake walking has improved, as do
most things that are constantly practic
ed. It has lost its old significance in tbe
south. Negroes now get married, when
they marry at all, in the white folks'
fashion. It has, however, become a pan
tomime danco. I'roperly performed, it
is a beautiful one. The cake is not much
of a prize, though tbe negro has a sweet
tooth. New Orleans Times-Democrat

BROWXSaX'S SMILE.
A STORY OF THE COMMANDER THAT
SAiLORMEN LOVE TO TELL.
Bow tt Detroit Iiroke Cp What the la-
iirrnt Admiral Called a -ItlorkUe."
Aa Incident That news Mea Who
Have Sees Smillns; Mea Flcht.
It was in January, 1894, tlat the
civil war in Brazil was coming to a cli
max in the harbor at Rio. Admiral da
Gama of the insurgents was in the har
bor w ith several ships-cf-war. Tbe gov
ernment held the city, but while the in
surgent admiral held tho water no ship
ping cncld go up to the front as long as
he said it couldu t and he saia no.
Various governments were affected by
this embargo "blockade" the admiral
called it Great Britain was concerned
chiefly, but tbo United States was a
good second, with Germany and other
nations ns welL
Europe looked to America to do some
thing in the matter and was naturally
diSdeut about interfering in family
rows on this side of tbe water. At last
Admiral Ecnham was sent down to take
charge cf the Unitd States Ceet in Rio
barber. The flagship was tbe ban iran
cisco, and cn Sunday, Jan. 28, Admiral
Eenham called cn his captains to come
aboard. Among them was Commander
Browuson cf the Detroit It is said that
after tbe conference this commander
came Lack to his ship smiling. However
that may Le, be certainly smiled next
morning. Just after 6 o'clock that even
ing it was calm as could be, almost
the Yankee naval tthips were seen to be
in a bustle. The canvas awnings faded
away, and in the night certain sounds
were beard aboard tbem, at which vari
ous listeners put their bands cup shaped
behind their ears to listen harder. On
the morning cf the 29th there was a
change in the apporance of the Yankee
fleet It had taken off its coat, waist
coat and shirt, no to speak, and was just
eying itself when day dawned to see
bow good its traiciug had been.
Tbe insurgent ships Aquidaban and
Tamandare were up tbe bay above Vi
ana island with their cables sbort,
ready to trip. The Trajano and Goana
bara, as well as tbe fleet of armed tugs,
were crowded with men from tbe gar
risons of Cobras and Villcgaigon. The
Liberdade flew tbe little blue ensign,
for Admiral de Gama was aboard her,
lying with tbo Trajano and Goanabara
north cf Encbadoe island, a few yards
from tbe American bark Amy, one of
the boats kept out by tbo blockade. The
Turabyba was lying with its teeth, so
to speak, at tbe throat of the Yankee
barkentino Good News.
Commander Erowuson on the Detroit
got bis ship under way, having hoisted
anchor at C o'clock, and beaded toward
the city between Enchados and Cobras
islands. I!cr crew was at ber guns,
and as eager a lot of men an one could
s;-e anywhero at that time. The anchor
get fouled in tbe Detroit'a hawse hole,
and that was ample excuse fcr proceed
ing slowly, which was convenient,
whilo a couplo cf insurgent togs made
a sputter ut tbo northern littcral of the
city, as thry bad been doing a long
time. After a couplo of men bad been
killed u board the tugs they drew back,
and the Detroit with everything clear,
rounded Enchados island and came
along starboard side to starboard of tbe
Trajano. Tbe men looked through their
eights and then up at Commander
Brownson cn the bridga The story cf
what they caw is a tradition in the
navy now and always will be so long as
men like Brownson are ir. command.
The commander was smiling.
A man on tbe Trajano raised a mus
ket and fired a bullet over the beads of
sailors pulling away in a boat with a
lino from the Amy to a ship at anchor
tbut tbo Amy might be warped to the
forbidden docks. Two heavy insurgent
tugs came around with their rams
pointed at tbe side of tbe Detroit On
the San Francisco the red flag of battle
had been run up to the fore track in
steps. A quartermaster stood with his
baud on the halyards eager to break it
out, with Lis eyes fixed on the admiral,
who was looking at the Detroit for the
sign whit f vould cause him to give tbe
quartermaster tbe order bo ardently de-tired-
When the insurgent shot was fired,
Commander Brownson turned to tbe
gunner at a one pounder, and with
scarcely perceptible increase of tbe
smile ordered the man to shoot into the
Trajano at tbe water line six feet abaft
tbe stern. Tbe order was misunder
stood, and the shot went across the in
aurg?uts' bow. Thereupon Captain
Brownson bailed:
"Trajano, aboyl" be shouted. "If
yon fire again, I will return tbe firs,
aud if yen persist I will sink you."
Tbe Trajano's crews were excited. If
a nervous lineer bad pulled a trigger,
the fight wouid have been on.
But the shot did not 6ound. The sail
ors on tbe Amy's yawl waited to aee
what they were to do next
" Yon go ahead, " Commander Brown
eon shouted, "and I'll protect you I"
The sailois went
"Aim at the Gnanabaral" ordered
Commander Brownson. And tbe greasy
black muzzles of tbo Detroit's broadside
ind the two pivot gaps swung around,
booking bigger and bigger every mo
ment, till they stopped, leveled at tha
cruiser. One particularly nervous gun
crew aboard the insurgent was couepicu
ng. Commander Brownson waved his
baud, with a half smile, and this crew
fell back.'
Then the Yankee ships Jed the way
to the docks, with other ships crowding
jn with them, and after awhile the re
bellion collapsed. But tbe sailors who
were on the Detroit at that time have
told the story cf Commander Brown
con's smile to other sailors, and these
to Hill others, till it has rippled to ev
ery water where tbe starry flag flics,
and it is heard with marked interest by

INVENTOR OF LEAD PIPE".
First Ecsrected by Robert Seidell of
IVnosjlranla la 1830.
There was born in Wilton, Pa., in
1600 a man of wonderful genius, it is
said. His name was Robert SeydelL and
he died iu 1847. Four children survive.
two of whom reside here a son, Jacob
Sevdell, and a daughter, Mrs. Gray.
Mr. Seydcll waa a coppersmith and
was almost continuously wurkiug cut
acme device connected with tbe ma
chinery in his factory. To him, it is re
lated by some of tbe oldest citizens of
this place, belongs tbe discovery of tbo
process of making lead pipe, and, like
many other inventors, the idea cf rank
ing tbe Faino was stolen from him and
further developed to its present form of
manufacture.
It was in tbe latter part of the thir
ties that tbe idea suggested itself to
him, and tbe following is tbe way he
wrought it out: He first took a sing, or
casting of lead, placing it on a mandrel.
or rod of 6tcel, about 16 feet long and
an inch in diameter. Tbe mandrel was
highly polished, and upon this he drew
or rolled out the lead to the full length
of the rod, thus giving him an inch
bore, and the material was rolled, it is
aid, to a one-fourth inch, makicg a to
tal diameter l.1' inches for tbe pipe.
After completing several sections of the
length cf tbe mandrel he soldered tbem
together, making the pipe of whatever
length he desired.
He put it to practical nse by fasten
ing it to pomp heads, and also running
it from springs to connect watering
troughs and epricghouses in the coun
try round about here. Being greatly
pleased with bis discovery aud receiv
ing tbe most flattering of comments
from his friends and neighbors in this
section, be concluded to muke his in
vention more widely known, and hence
mode a visit to Philadelphia, taking
his device with him.
At the Franklin institute in that city
be gave his first exhibition to quite a
number of inventors, artisans and me
chanics. As it is now related, every one
who witnessed it was more than de
lighted, and so expressed himself in
his immedite presence. It was not long
that be was allowed to remain in a con
dition of supreme happiness over his in
vention, for a short time after ho made
a disclosure of his discovery, und whilo
yet in Philadelphia, he found out that
by tbe persous to whom he had given
an exhibition of tbe process of making
lead pipe his idea had been osed and
imprved upon. Philadelphia Press.
SPEAKING PASSING SHIPS.
New EOorte ta Revive Old Time Courte
sies at Sea.
Tbe fine old custom of speaking pass
ing ships is rapidly dying out among
the skippers of today, and the general
opinion stems to be that tbe modern
master is, as a rule, too easy going to
bother about anything of tho sort
Colonel Ilozier, the secretary of
Lloyds, considers that a deal of trouLlu
and anxiety would often be avoided if
captains would but take the trouble to
Epeak ships within reading distance of
their signals. In many instances anxiety
with respect to overdue vessels would
be allayed, and, furthermore, there
would continually bo news for tlio
friends of masters and for tbe hundreds
of thousands of others who cro interest
ed in tbe great merchant marine of this
country.
Chatting the matter over. Captain
Frond, tbe secretary of the Shipmasters'
society, said: "Tbe practice of speaking
each other at sea and reporting at every
opportunity is, I am sorry to say, dying
out among tbe captains cf tbe present
day. I suppose they are indifferent or
careless, aud do not consider it worth
the trouble of hoisting the signals and
making out the other fellow's. It is a
very great pity that an exceedingly use
ful custom should be neglected, and I
am glad to learn that Colonel Hozier is
doing bis utmost to induce masters tq
speak other ships and to report w hen
ever it is possible.
"I am convinced that if captains can
be persuaded to take tbe trouble to do
this much good service will be rendered
to tbe public generally. This society is
doiug its utmost to get masters to re
vive the practice. "
Captain Frond's appeal was strength
ened by the picturesque evidence of an
old time skipper, who admitted that
speaking and signaling had been almost
entirely neglected cf late years. " When
I first went to sea," be said, "it was
the invariable custom to exchange nanioa
and destinations and sometimes reckon
ings with passing ships, but nowaday
captains don't bother. Sometimes a
skipper is short handed and he won t
take even one man from bis work, but
mostly ba doesn't bother himself about
the thing ut all. That's my experience,
and I've been at tbe game week or
two." London JJaiL

ince cf Kwantoug sent for a man to
shear his locks, and he began nibbling
away at bis scalp without troubling
about such a trifling as 8 pomb. At tbe
third snip tbo man stopped him and
asked 1 ini if be bad ever cut a foreign

that? Oh, last year, when he cut the

MRS THOMAS CARLYLE.
Ob OrewtioB Wticn the Clever Womaa
Wes Surprised and Confounded.
The brightest time fcr Mrs. Carlylc's
talc vtas daring dinner. Day after day
she pocted forth witty stories, most cf
which 1 hnve almost forgotten, but in
any ca? it would bo desecration to at
tempt to repeat almost any of them.
The characteristics of living men and
women wem of t u dashed ofT i a few
pithy words, net without satirical
touches. George Henry Lewes w tot
one of ber favorites, but I noted with
pleasure tbe way in which she spoke cf
tho wonderful transformation effected
Ly tbe influence on him cf George Eliot
One cf her experiences waswben vis
iting a shoemaker's shop to make a pur
chase, at the time when sandaled shoes
were worn, like those represented in
the original illustrations of Dickens.
The sandals were of black ribbon, nncut
until tbe shoes were worn ty the pur
chaser at home. Mrs. Carlyle tried on
many shoes, and each time that a shoe
proved unsuitable she unconsciously
along it on to her left arm. Being at
last suited, and having paid Jeer bill.
she left the shop, and bad wn-lk J a lit
tie way when she heard a shout behind
her. Looking back she saw tho shop
man running after ber, much excited
and insisting on her returning the stolen
shoes. Looking down, she saw to her
surprise a number of shoes dangling
from ber arm. Tbe man indignantly
asked her name and address. Her as
tonishment was such that ber name was
obliterated for a time from her memory
and all she could recollect was ber
maiden name, "Miss Welsh." Tbe hu
mor in this tale was enhanced to those
who knew her from its being so much
out cf keeping with ber usual shrewd'
ness and self possession that no one
could have predicted it of ber.
Her death scene, a year later, when
"llr. Silvester," as she named ber
coachman, during a drive, turned and
looked into the carriage surprised at
receiving no orders as to route and saw
her sitting, lifeless, with a pet dog on
her knee, has often risen to my
thongbts.
Jly strongest impression was of the
deep mutual love evidently subsisting
between Airs. Carlyle and ber husband.
Every subject wo discussed seemed to
recall thoughts of him. If the piano
were opened, bis song of the "blue day"
was referred to or asked for; if any
literary man wete mentioned, bis opin
ion of him was given, or a story was
told showing bis relation to other men
of note. I felt as if listening to the love
talk of a youthful eugaged couple, and
when, in later days, Froude opened up
a floodgate of misunderstanding I felt
assured there was a radical wisconoep
tion cf tbe true state of affairs. New
