A Cnrlnns Papillary Cnnlfit.
An odd oompeUtion wa rocfntly wit-
Moused by nn American who lifts just re
turned from Europfi. It was between
two nrtials In capillary cultivation, a
frenchman mid a Swiss. Six Indies,
with abundant liair, submitted them
pelves to the contestants to be used as
illustrations of the rise and progress of
hairdressinfj. The Gaul began with
the mode obtaining in the Scriptural
sn, drawing his authorities from Holy
Writ and other reeonls. The Swiss be
gan witli the simple modes of ancient
Greece, then showed how a Roman maid
and matron of the later empire built up
and dusted with gold, and how the
Middle Ages plastered down their hair
in Europeand frizzed themselves in Asia:
The rolled forehead of the Stuarts, the
tower style of Pompadour, the ringlets
of Anne, the eccentric Georgian styles,
all received a rapid and interesting il
lustration during two hours, at the end
of which the Frenchman was announced
to be the victor.
Itaisr Fuhtoa Facts.
Very ljght small-figured foulard silks
are among the other fresh and pretty
dresses prepared for midsummer. Thus
a white ground with tiny pale blue
spots is made up with a great deal of
plain blue Surah, which forms the col
lar and bosom drapery, and is cut into
many narrow bias gathered ruflles for
trimming the skirt. These dresses are
commended for their lightness, as they
weigh less than grenadines, which re
quire heavier silk linings. Sometimes
the most dressy foulards in Watteau
colors are lined throughout with pale
blue silk, and the blue does not appear
elsewhere in the dress.
iovely dresses of batiste, of the sheer
est qualities, are of pale faded tints,
either pink, blue, cream, or lavender,
and arc ornamented with artistic em
broidery done in crewel-work of the
gayest colors, in vivid contrast to that
of the dress. Thu3 a pink batiste in
open lace-like patterns has the basque
and tho drapery of the over-skirt edged
with lace frills, above which are set
clusters of crewel-work as large as a
lady's hand, representing bouquets of
roses, carnations, blue-bells, and green
foliage. Japaneso blue, olive green,
and dark red colors prevail in this
quaint ntcdle-work, which is cut out
and appliqued on the dress goods.
Cashmere is always in favor with
Parisiennes, and is sent out by Worth
in light qualities for spring dresses in
tho new dull salmon red and heliotrope
shades combined (in order to make them
still lighter) with figured foulards. A
Buit of heliotrope cashmere has a skirted
basque with bunched drapery behind,
while the flat front opens over tray fou
lard laid in small plaits the whole length
of the s irt. Pink, gray and white
cashmeres are imported with polka dots
embroidered with silk, to be made up
with plain Surah silks.
The imported gingham suits are the
prettiest of all wash dresses. A gay
fancy is that of trimming light blue ana
white checked gingham with bands and
pointed tongues of dark claret-colored
gingham. Such a dress is further deco
rated by a cluster of hand-painted
flowers in the point of the neckerchief,
which is tied sailor fashion. Some
thing unique in the color and in the
combinations is aimed at in these pretty
cottons. Thus one of heliotrope purple
has pale cream-colored facings, while
another of claret red has pUiitings of
chintz figures on a white ground, very
much like the favorite patterns of fou
lard. The novelty in lingerie with which to
brighten up a dark toilette, or to give
character to a light one, is a directoire
collar made of dark velvet, cither black,
garnet or blue, and edged with a white
frill of creamy white Languedoclace.
Tne velvet collar is about a linger deep,
and, extending across the back, slor.es
away just in front of the turn of the
shoulders; across this front edge a scarf
01 auran siik oi Jignt blue, cink or ear
net is sewed on each side in s'ight
gamers, men drawn tonetner on the
bust, knotted there, and the ends hang
to me waist, ana are nnisned with Jace
. How Spectacles are Made.
The white lens in use in the ordinary
spectacle of commerce is made of the
common window-pane glass rolled in
pheets; sometimes it is made into balls:
From these are cut pieces of about one
and a quarter to one and a half inches
in size; tney are then taken into the
crindinff-room and each nfocn mmpntoH
separately upon what is called a lap, of
a semi-circular shape. These are made
to fit into a corresponding curve or
saucer, into which fine emery powder
is introduced, and subjecled to a swift
rotary motion. The gradual curve in
the lap gives to the glass as it is ground
a corresponding shape, until the desired
center is reached. The lap is then taken
and subjected to warmth, which melts
the cemctt sufficiently to permit the
glass being removed and turned upon
the opposite side, when the same pro
cess is renewed. This being completed,
the lenses are detached again from the
lap and taken to another department,
where they are shaped to fit the frames.
This is accomplished by a machine of
extreme delicacy. Each piece of glass
is put separately upon a rest, when a
diamond is brought to bear upon it,
moving in t'.ia form of an oval,
thus cutting the desired size; but
the edges, of course, are rough and
sharp and must be beveled. For this
purpose they are turned over into an
other set of hands, mostly girls, who
have charge of the grindstones, whi -h
are about six inches in thickness. Each
operator is provided with a gauge ; the
glass is taken between the forefinger
and thumb, and held sufficiently side
ways to produce the desired bevel:
when this is attained it is again turned
and the other side of the bevel com
pleted. During this process it is con
stantly gauged in order to ascertain
that the frame will close upon it with
out too much pressure, which would
break the lens.
The next process to which the lens is
subjected is that of "focusing," and re
quires extreme care. The person hav
ing this department to attend to is
placed in a small room aione; across
the entrance is hung a curtain, which is
enly drawn aside sufficiently to admit
the required amount of light from a win
dow s vcral feet away, upon one of the
top panes of which is placed a piece
of heavy cardboard with a small hole
cut in Iho center representing the
bull's-eye of a target. Through this
the rays of light shine upon the lens in
the hands of a workman, and are re
flected thri tuh it to a dark background.
The lena is then moved back and forth
upon an inch measure until the proper
f.cus is attained. Say, for instance,
the extreme end of the measure is sixty-
two inches, the lens is placed at that.,
but docH not focna; it is gradually
moved alone, inch by inch, until, per
haps, it is brought to thirty-six incite.
At this thrt proper height of center or
foe in is Attained, and it is then num
bered thirty-six. The pamn operntion
is oi course necessary with every lens.
This accounts for the numbers which
are upon spectacles or glasses of any
kind when purchased .
FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD,
Plant Uood rotator.
Those who are about to plant potatoes
will do well to read tho following ad
vice from th e Kansas Farmer. Good
seed is most likely to secure a good crop :
Whatever variety of pot atocs are planted
select the best tubers for seed. Plant
large, well-formed, smooth potatoes, as
it is evidence of a large well-formed
variety, evidence of soundness and
health, evidence of perfection ; and in
order to produce the best of anything
the surest way is to select the best to
grow from. Small potatoes used for
seed may, and do often, produce large,
fine tubers, but they may be a small
variety some of them at least are liable
to be. If they do not belong to a small
tuber family then the weight of evidence
is in favor of their being imperfect and
unripe, consequently weak and un
healthy. Such stock, either of animals
or vegetables, is not fit to propagate
from. Nature stores in the perfect
seed what is required to promote and
perpetuate the vigorous and hardy
plant. By carefully selecting the best
of everything to plant, the finest
grain, fruit, 'roots and other vege
tables can be produced with reason
able certainty ; but if this fundamental
law is neglected the chances are in favor
of a large per cent, of inferior produce.
The same natural law governs in the
vegetable that is acknowledged to be so
potent in the animal kinedon. Like pro
duces like, and faults and imperfections
seem to be more readily transmitted
than the more desirable qualities. Very
much better crops could be raised if
farmers gave thiu subject more study,
and acted upon the well-established
principles of production. Many years
ago, and in a period of our agricultural
history when new varieties of any form
were extremely rare, an olwervant
farmer of Pennsylvania, acting on the
principle that nerfect train could rnlv
be insured by using perfect seed, origin
ated a superior variety of wheat, which
ne named " barrel wheat." This he did
by holding the sheaves of wheat in his
hands by the butts and beating the tops
over a barrel. The large, plump, perfect
grains would fly out and none others.
This wheat was used as seed, and the
same practice to procure seed being fol
lowed a few years, produced what
seemed to be a new variety of wheat,
but which was only the result of a prac
tical application of the natural law of
selecting the fittest. This anecdote is a
practical illustration of using none but
the very best for seed. Unripe, small
potatoes are not fit for seed ; neither are
overgrown, hollow-hearted tubers. Tho
former are weak and imperfect; the
latter, like all abnormal monsters, un
healthy. Recipe.
Cookies. Two cups of sugar, one
half cup of butter, one cup of sweet
mllkj teaspoonful of baking powder,
caraway seed if liked, and flour enough
to roll out .
Cohn Meak Pudding. Quart of corn
meal, scalded to a mush, cup of suet
chopped fine, cup of raisins seeded, and
a small teaspoonful of salt. Boil three
hours in buttered steamer. Eat with
syrup or sauce.
Chicken Salad. Remove the skin
gristle and fat, and chop the meat quite
tine; add two-thirds in quantity of
chopped celery, one-fourth as much
chopped cucumber, pickles and celery;
rub the yolks of two hard boiled eggs
and one tablespoon butter together;
moisten with a little milk, mix well,
add salt to taste, and garnish with celery
leaves.
Spanish Custard. If your family
numbers six, take eight yolks of eggs,
eight teaspoonfuls of sugar, beaten very
light, adding flavor if you like; put over
a slow fire, stirring all the time until
quite thick; then have small saucers,
either of glass or china, and pour some
on each saucer; to be served in this
way cold ; powdered almonds are very
delicious on it.
Tea Cakes. ,To each pound of
flour allow a dessert - spoonful of
yeast powder, one egg, half a
pint of milk, two spoonfuls of melted
butter, two spoonfuls of sugar. Rub
the dry ingredients together, then
quickly mix in the milk with the but
ter, then the beaten egg; cut into bis
cuit form, and bake quickly in buttered
pans.
Pig's Feet. If you have more than
you want to use now, boil them until
the bones drop out, then mince them
coarsely and boil in a little of the same
water, season well, pour into a crock,
press down closely, and when cold cover
with vinegarand it will keep until warm
weather. It will be firm, like jelly, and
can be cut into slices. This is very good
for laboring men or those who work out
of doors. There is no oil or grease for
boots or shoes that can compare with
the grease, when cold, skimmed off the
kettle in which pig's feet have been
boiled. It is very softening, and there
will be just enough of the gluey sub
stance in it to mako a good mixture and
give a good "shine."
W lien ta Plow.
An experienced farmer says: I know
by trial that plowing land when it is
very dry is nearly as hurtful as when it
is very wet. But my experience is with
heavy clay, or land in which clay is an
important constituent. Such land when
plowed dry breaks up lumpy, and fub
srquent rains do not dissolve the lumps.
It is my opinion that there is never a
more suitable condition for plowing any
soil than when it has enough moisture
to cause the furrows to fall loosely from
the plow with no appearance of packing
and no lumps.
A Tramp's Fate.
A singular tragedy is reported from
East St. Louis. A tramp called at the
house of a farmer during the jitter's ab
sence, and alter receiving food robbed
the house and decamped. The farmer
came home at this juncture and gave
chase, coming up with the thief on the
railroad track near by. The two men
grappled and fell to tlie ground just as a
train came thundering along, when the
farmer tore himself from the tramp's
grasp and leaped aside, the engine just
grazing his body. The tramp was not
so fortunate, being crushed to a shape
less mass beneath the wheels before he
could jump from the track.
THE TXT.lt BITEIl T ALLEY.
Irn IpHon of n Famous Vt'hrnt C tnnt. y,
lnmlss front your mind all the asso
ciations that are called up by this word.
Understand that in the West n valley is
not necessarily "a hollow between hills
or mountains." That is a narrow East
ern conception. As we looked out from
tho ear window for the first time upon
this famous valley, we paw a broad level
plain .covered with short grasg, and
flooded by the rising sun with red and
golden light. Doubtless there were hil.s
somewhere in the world, but they were
invisible. Far away on the left ft dim
blue line of timber marked the course of
the Red river, and auolher lino far in
front of us indicated tho approach of ft
tributary stream. This was nil that
broke ip Inke-liko expanse. Wo real
ized fttunce what we had heard belore,
that it whs, in fact, a lake without any
wi.ter in it.
A few word j will explain the charac
ter and probable formation of the Red
River valley. It is about three hundred
miles long nnd fifty miles wide a flat
prairie, extendingnoithward from Lake
Traverse, in Minnesota, until it passes
by a gentle slope beneath the water of
Lake Winnipeg. About thirty miles
north of the southern and higher ex
tremity of the valley t he R"d river conies
meandering in from the east. It is a
sluggish Btream, flowing in a ditch iu
the middle of the prairie, nnd is alto
gether inadequate in size nnd force to
have made the valley which bears its
name. When we seek an explanation
of this vast alluvial plain, we must And
a much larger body of water to account
for its formation, and this is done by
the theory which connect i it with tho
great Mississippi system. There ere
many indications that the whole drain
age of this region w.ns at one t ime south
ward. The valley of the Mis issippi.
with its true line of continuation along
the Minnesota, must have formerly con
tained a vastly larger bod y of water than
now flows througli it. This valley, be
ginning at Big Stono lake, is separated
only by a slight barrier from Lake Tra
verse. Now imagine that a few thou
sand years ago the level of the continent
was a little different from what it is
now, a few hundred feet higher at the
north, and lower at the south, then this
barrier would boovcicome, and all the
waters of the Winnipeg basin would flow
soutnwara tnrougn tlie lied river nnd
Minnesota valley into the Mississippi.
The present northward outlet through
tho Nelson river would be stoDoed.
Thero would bo a mighty stream drain
lng -tne wnole central region of the con
tinent into the Gulf of Mexico. Now
Imagine, again, that tho continent is
gradually depressed at tho north, and
elevated at the south a change which
we knpw from observation is siill
continuing along tho sea coast;
the result of such an oscillation
will be to diminish the slope and veloc
ity of tho great southward river. Jt
will have less and less power to cut its
way through obstacles. It will I.e
dammed by the granite leckes near Big
Stone lake. It will spreatl out into a
vast lake larger than Superior and
Michigan put together. The waters of
this lake will be shallow and muddy',
and the depositsof alluvium very rapid.
As the northward depression continues,
the outlet toward the south will be
come more and more feeble. It will
degenerate into a mere driblet. And at
last the great body of water will cut. a
new channel northward into Hudson
1 f I. XT -1 - . . I .
uay. xne ixeison river, witn its rocKy
channel and numerous rapids, bears all
tne marks of an outlet thus recently
formed.
This is but a rough and hasty outline
of the theory which lias been advanced
by General G. K. Warren, of the Unitid
Suites Engineer 'corps, and sup
ported by him in a series of admirable
reports. It may seem dry, but it offers
an explanation of two very important
facts the immense fertility of the an
cient lake bed, which is now called the
tti d River valley, and the impossibility
of a route from Manitoba, through the
Neison river and Hudson bay, to Eng
land. These facts have a direct bearing
on the commercial welfare of the United
States, for they put the transportation
of the products of the rich Northwest
into the hands of our railways and
steamboatP.
More ttiantwo-tinrds ot tlieKed River
valley lies in Minnesota and Dakota:
the remaining third is in the British
province of Manitoba. Two railroads
have been opened into the vail' v within
the past six years the St. Paul, Minne
apolis and Manitoba, which- now runs
p irallel with the river to St. Vincent, on
the British border, where it connects
with the Pembina branch of the Cana
dian Pacific to Winnipeg, and the
JNortnern racinn, wliicli crosses thoval
ley at right angles, and opens up the
wonderfully fertile land lying on the
west side ol the river, in Dakota. Into
thi3 territory a great flood of emigration
is now pouring. The rapid influx began
in 1877. In the last quarter of that vear
the government land ottlcei disposed of
more man sou.iuu acres in Minne
sota, and during the same period
tho -railways sold over 500,000
acres. In all, over a million acres
were taken up by settlers in those three
montlis, mostly in the Red River val
ley. Since 1872 the Northern Pacific
railway has sold 800,000 acres of Red
river lands. In the land district! tra
versed by this road the government has
assigned 1,303,410 acres in the year end
ing June 30, 1879. Together with the
lands sold by the railway during the
Bame time, this makes the astounding
total of 4,500,000 acrts disposed of in
two years. Embracing the same terri
tory, present statistics show the follow
ing: Present population, 09,700; in
crease in past year, 19,000. Area in
wheat, 1879, 281,430; increase. 96,000.
Area in other crops, 79,470; increase,
20,660. Total area in cultivation, 360,
900; increase, 116,660. New breaking,
1879, 133,600. Henry J. Van Dyke, Jr.,

A new steam street car, which has
met with success in New York, has
been tested on grades of 345 feet to the
mile and on curves of thirty-three feet
radius. It has readily drawn up all
grades and around all curves one, two
and even three cars, itself being full of
passengers, and under ordinary con
ditions it can be raado to do tho work
of two, three or even four teams of
horses. It makes twenty miles an hour.
