square miles, or about one-fifth of tho
50,000,000 of square miles composing
tho habitablo globe. Out of the grand
total not less than 2,500,000 of square
miles have been topographically sur
veyed, and of this nearly all has been
surveyed, ininutoj, Held by field. This

One-fourth of this territory, exclusive of
that held by tho owners of less than an

Bathers' cramp is made the subject of
an articlo in tho Popular Science Xeia.
The conclusion is reached that although
tho intimate nature of muscular cramps
and the preciso modo in which they are
established are still unknown, sutlicient
data on tho subjort enables us to recog
nize tho chief conditions of their causa
tion, which are as follows: A peculiar
individual susceptibility; tho shock of
cold applied to tho general surface of the
body; prolonged muscular exertion, and
forciblo and sudden muscular exertion,
especially in tho direction of the extrem
ities. Tho disorder is very ajit to rise in
persons of irritable temperament, attacks
persons of middle age oftener than the
young, men oftener than women and the
robust oftener than tho weakly, and
occurs oftener in hot climates than in
cold. Its most powerful and avoidable
cause in tho immersion of the body while
heated in water of a relatively low teni
pcrature. King Otto of Bavaria, successor to the
Iftto King Ludwig, resides, or is kept

IN HARVEST TIMls.
Ixw wind-ghosbs flutter through the rustling
corn,
A locust drones in yonder whispering tree,
And where dissolve the misty veil of morn,
The lazy ships sail slowly out to sea,
In harvest time.
Tho scarlet poppies cluster by the road,
The sweeping scythes flash in th.s falling
grass,
And lumbering wagons, with thoir heavy
load, '
Along tho dusty highways lingering pass,
In harvest time.
The radiant sunlight slants among the leaves,
As though no hidden covert it would miss,
Bearing the gold sheen of the garnered
sheaves
To all the ripening apples it may kiss,
In harvest time. g
The honey-suckle by the porch is we
And noisy bees wing on from blown to
bloom,
Full loath to leave, for yonder windit& hoat,
The shade and coolness of the fragrant
gloom,
Iu harvest time. Vj
The undulating wheat along the hills, ,
That shimmers in the sun's refulgent
beams,
Its bearded kernels to completeness nfc,
And in contented splendor brightly gleams,
In harvest time.
When high the sun in noon-day glory rides,
Where willows keep the lake's groon mar
gin cool,
The speckled trout amid their shadow hides,
And dragon-flies haunt every shaded pool',
In harvest time.
The crows are silont in the sombre pinos,
And drowsy cattle pace with listless tread
The shallow brooks that run in silver lines,
Where meadow-blossoms flaunt their ban
ners red,
In harvest time.
Where, clothing all the crumbling wall of
stone,
The wild grapos show their purple globes
of wine,
The butterflies hold carnival alone,
And brilliantly their iris colors shine
In harvest time.
The oriole, above his swinging nest
In the gnarled pear-tree, plumes bis orange
coat,
And as the sun sinks slowly down the west,
Croons to his mate a low, melodious note,
In harvest time. v
The moths make feast where pendulant blos
soms sway,
In woods that ring with shrill nocturnal
songs,
And while tho shadows change to deeper
gray,
Somo dreaming bird day's jubilant voice
prolongs,
In harvest time.
Beside the garden path, serenely fair,
Clothed in her garmonture of odorous
white,
That wins fresh perfume from the heavy air,
The lily shines a star amid the night,
In harvest time.
Oh, bounteous season, rich through every
hour
In gifts that make our souls with joy atune,
The fruitful earth is lavish of her dower,
From morning's flush till glows the mellow
noon,
In harvest time.

HER FIRST WARD.
"There ought to be a law against it!"
said Alice Ilawkes. "Yes, there ought."
She was a tall, handsome girl, with
great dark eyes, hair of lustrous brown,
all lighted with changing gleams, like
satin when it lies iu folds.
"Well, then," said Kate Jennings,
"you have no business to be left "an
heires, with no one to look after your
rights and privileges. It is natural
enough that you should become the prey
of your needy relatives."
"Hut this .Mrs. Whyto Wayte was the
most disagreeable of them all!" cried
Alice.
"Then let us bo thankful that she has
departed to a l etter world," observed
Kate.
"Yes, but to leave her great clumsy
boy to my guardianship I that alwavs

'Tie is not old enough for that."

Alice Hawl es laughed as she spoke;
but there was a sih .mingled with the
mellow riug ot her mirth, and thereby
hatuarine Jennings knew that her f
friend's soul was inwardly tioubled

Miss Ilawkes' countenance was very
dejocted, however, the next day, when,
wrapped in sables and velvet, she drove
to tho depot, about a mile and a half
distant from Ilawkes Hall, to take pos
sesion of her new treasure.
But the horses were fat and the roads
were heavy with the mud following on a
January thaw, mid the noise of the re
treating train had long since ceased to
echo among tho hills when tho carriage
drew up in front of the station.
"I knew we should be too late, Ralph,"
said Miss Ilawkes, sighing, as she de
scended from the carriage, with a little
sugar dog the result of a last sudden
uncertainty whether her future charge
wore three or thirteen years of age in
her gloved hand.
There was but one inhabitant of the
waiting-room as Alice Hawkes swept in
athll, fine-looking man, somewhere in
tho twenties, with haztl eyes, a nut
brown, mustache and a valise. Alice
looked dubiously at him. He looked
with a. puzzled air at the fajt apparition
in bluo velvet and ermine.
For one minute and then the whole
situation seemed to flash, afit were,
upon Alice Hawkes' mind. Mfs. Whyte
Wayte had never mentioned tho age of
her son. Could it bo possible that this
young man was tho charge ? Sho felt
her cheeks grow scarlet as she dropped
the sugar dog into tho depths of her
pocket.
"I I beg your pardon," said Miss
Hawkes, laughing and coloring, "I ex
pected to see a much younger person."
The stranger rose iid bowed. Alice
Hawkes was a well-proportioned girl,
but tho gentlomnn towered a head and
shoulders above her.
"And I beg yoursj ma'am," he said,
"I was prepared to see quite an old
ladv!" ,
"It is Mr. WaytJsn't it ?" hesitated
Alice.
"That is my najne
"I am sorry we arc so late it is all
my coachman's faflt. The carriage is
waiting. Will you aJrow Kalph to take
your checks ?" '
He smiled as he touched the valise
and color-box that lay on the floor at his
side.
"I have no other luggage than this!!'
Old Halph, with eyes like full moons,
bestowed the two boxes on the scat be
side him, and held opon the carriage
door for his mistress and her guest to
enter.
"Ma'am," he could not forbear whisper
ing, with a slight giggle, "there won't
be no call for them there sleds and
marbles and the kite, shaperi like a
man." J
Alice pretended not to hear, but sho
knew that her cheeks were as red as the
scarlet feather in her hat.
"Is this the old place?" he asked, lean
ing out of the window, as they neared
the graystone portico in front, every
column draped in glossy green ivy. "It
wili make a beautiful picture."
"Do you think so?" said Miss Hawke,
smiling. "Wait until you see the south
ern elevation ; it is still prett ier and more
picturesque."
The housekeeper, old Hannah, came
smiling and courtesying to the door; but
she stared a little as Mr., Wayte, spring
ing first from the carriage' assisted her
young mistress to descend.
"If you please, mem," quoth she,
"whore's the young gentlcman'f"
"This 'ere's the young gen'leman,
Hannah!" cried Kalph from his box, con
verting a laugh into a very explosive
species of cough.
And . Hannah remembered the little
cranberry tart she had just baked on an
"A. B. C," tin platter "for the dear
little orphan boy."
"The blue room, Hannah," said Miss
Hawkes, biting her lip, to repress her
amusement at tho old woman's face of
astonishment.
"Ycs'm to be sure, 'urn," said Han
nah. "Dear, dear! how strange things
does turn out!"
How much pleasauter was the tete-a-tete
dinner than anything Alice had
dared to anticipate tho long, confiden
tial chat in the drawing-room afterward.
And the young man himself evidently
enjoyed it as much as she did,
"I did not expect such a reception as
this," he said, when the evening was well
advanced, and they began to feel quite
like old friends.
"Why not?"
"One reason is that you are rich and I
am poor."
"No reason at all," said Alice, color
ing hotly.
"And I am destined to earnlny liveli
hood as au artist."
"Well, what then? I would like to
be an artist, were I a man, It seems to
me one of the most beautiful and poetic
occupations one could choose.''
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course I do."
Alice's eyes sparkled her mind was
electrically roused by contact with one
riper and richer than itself.
"It will be very pleasant," she thought,
loaning back in her chair, her crochet
needle idly threading its way through
the meshes of colored wool. "Ho is so
handsomo and so gentle though I won
der why he don't speak more of his
mother's recent loss. Perhaps the wound
still bleeds. What will Kate Jennings
say?"
But, just as these thoughts passed
through her mind, there came a pro
digious jerking and pealing at the front
door bell.
"It can't be Kate at this time of night,"
thought Miss Hawkes.
It was not Misg .Jennings, but the sta
tion master of the depot, a clumsy, loose
jointed chap, with mucer-cyes and a
square chin, which he was perpetually
feeling, as if not quite certain of its lo
cality. "If you please. Miss Hawkes, I've
brought him," said Jabe. Slades. "His
trunks '11 be sent round to-morrow morn
in'." "Whom?" gasped Alice.
"Him and glad enough we be to see
tho last on him ! Like to set the depot a
fire, snow-balled a hole in the windy and
tied a tin pail to old Hose' tail !"
And as he spoke he pushed forward an
ungainly boy of about twelve green
springs a freckled, sullen-eyed, heavy
looking lad. with both paws thrust into
his trousers' pockets and his chin sunk
on his breast.
"Alexander Adolphus Wayte, mum
that's the way ho was labeled on his
trunks. 'To be calledforbyMissIIawkcs,'
and the very time you were there I was a
larruping' him down in the cellar for a
comin' that there game on Bose, as has
hsf'n station dog these three years. And
I calculate that ere was tho way I misod
ye."
Alice gazed hopelessly from the gawky
boy to the stylish young artist, opposite.
He rose. -
"I thought there was some mistake,"
he said, reluctantly. "You are Miss
Hawkes? I supposed you to bo Mi9
Glcnfield, who has sent for me to paint a
picture of Glcnfield Hall." s,
"And I thoughtyou were'my cousin
Adolphus Wayte, Jcft in my charge by
his mother," stammered poor Kate.
"My name is Wayte Gerald Wayto
but my mother, thank heaven, is still liv
ing; and I thank you, Miss Hawkes, for
your hospitality." v
"You are not going away to-night?"
"I must; it is my misfortune to have
already intruded too long. Jlliss Glen
field was to have met me at the, cars. I
wonder what has detained her??-
"I will send yji over to Gleiflield Hall
to-morrow morning in the carruigo," said
Alice,' resolutely. "To-night '.you are
my prisoner-of-war ! Y'ou will stay, ust
to teach me what to do witliythis crea
ture." And she glanced at Alexander Adol
phus, who was making preparations to
besiege the cat behindlier intrenchmcnts
of the sofa-legs.
Mr. Wayte laughed and yiclaed.
"If I can be of use!" he sakl.
He sketched the Hall nexTday and
the day after he sketched Alice herself,
and then Kate Jennings. Adolphus be
haved very badly, and it seemed an ab
solute necessity to have a gentleman
about the place. .
"Alice!" cried Kate Jennings, a month
afterward, "is it really so?"
"Really how?"
"Are" you actually engaged to that
young artist?"
"Ye-VI am," said Alice. "How could
I manage Adolphus,by myself?"
Ho indeed?

It is tuid that tho American people
will eat anything with a French name.
A very popular dish here is thus pre
pared : A young goose is taken in the
autumn and confined in a close cage
which permits but little movement, gen
erally in a dark place. The bird is fed
with beans, or more commonly with
maie. During the last three or four
weeks it is rammed" twice or three
times a daywith parboiled maize sea
soned with f ir the crammer forcing the
food down itsVoat with a stick. Undor
this unnaturirr Vatment tho bird's liver
swells to an ruinous sizg, attaining a
weight of two or three pounds. The
bird's throat is then cut, and after being
drawn the body is hurig in a cold, airy
place until' tho liver acquires suflicient
firmness to be taken out. A pastry cook
seasons and spices it, adding truffles and
other ingredients, bakes tho contents
in a tureen and pours over the sickening
mass a layer of tresh hog's lard to keep
it from contact with the air. The whole
is put in a small porcelain dish like a
saucer, hermetically sealed, and then
becomes pate d-e foie gran. It hj said that
$10,000 worth of this food is consumed
In New Y'orkjK'very year. Strasburgand

The Hair and Mental')isea.seH.
A mousing Gcrnianv-onc Dr. J. Pohl
Pincus, of Berlin after twenty-five years
of laborious research has established that
by an examination of the foots of tho
hair incipient stages of bodily and men
tal disease may be detected before other
symptoms are discernible. If the hairs
that are combed or brushed out daily are
examined microscopically, by polarized
light, the enlarged bulbous end of the
root will show a white contour and a yel
lowish or brownish-red center, if the iu
dhidual be in a healthy condition of
body and mind. Various departures
from these characters iudicate approach
ing or existing diseases without any ap
parent bodily or mental symptom. Thus
violet, blue, or bluish-green colors of the
center points to emotional disturbance of
moderate grade; while green, yellow, or
orange warns of the onset of serious
trouble. Chicago Hewi.
CHINESE PEARL-GROWERS.
NOTED GEMS THAT ARE OWNED
BY ROYAL FOLK.
How Pearls Aro Dived fir Valuable?
Turquoise Combined AVith Them
in Making Fashionable Jewelry.
"We handle moro pearls than any
other kind of precious jewels," said a
New Y'ork importer. "The taste for
them has been reviving rapidly during
tho last few years until tliey have be
come almost as popular a gem as tho
diamond. In one respect they resemble
tho diamond more than anything else wo
trade in, for them smallest of them are
saleable and have always a market value."
The finest specimens aro now, and al
ways have been, taken in the eastern
seas. The' most fdvorcd locations are
near the coast of Ceylon and in the Per
sian gulf near the Island of Bahrcim. On
the coasts of Java aufl Sumatra and near
Japan there is a large production, and
fine specimens are often found. There
arc largo pearl fisheries near tne Isthmus
of Panama, and for more than a century
pearl fishing has been a profitable indus
try in California.
"The Chinese and Japanco are said to
aid nature in the production of pearls by
carefully piercing the shells and intro
ducing a particle of sand into tho inte
rior. By experiment it has been demon
strated that the period roquired for the
formation of a pearl ranges from five to
ten years."
"How are the pearls brought to tha
'surface?" asked the Chicago J'eic cor
respondent to whom, the dealer was talk
ing. "By diving principally. In South
America and Australia modern appli
ances, such as the diving-bejl aud air re
ceptacles, are used, but in the East the
old method is still in vogue. I have my
self visited tho principal fishery in the
East, on tho west coast of Ceylon, in the
bay of Manaar. 1 was present during
the busiest season, when there were about
200 boats at that station After number
less ceremonies have been performed by
the superstitious divers each, boatsetsout
with twenty men and a steersman, under
the command of tho adonaper or chief
pilot. Ten of th'se are divers, the re
maining ten manipulating the oars. In
addition to tho crew there is always a
'pillael kacras,' or snake-charmer, on
board,, as no diver would descend with
out his presence. Several of these gentry
are also stationed on the shore, whose
duty it is to pray and mumble incanta
tions until the boats return. At each
side of the boat is a stage from which the
divers descend. They go down in shifts
of five, and by this method of alternately
diving they give each other time to re
cruit themselves for a fresh plunge. The
serious effects of this continual submer
sion are shown in the discharges of water,
and occasionally of blood, from the
diver's mouth, ears and nostrils. But
this does not hinder the men from going
clown again in their turn. They will
often make from forty to fifty descents
in one day and at each plunge bring up
a hundred oysters. Some rub their bod
ies with oil and stuff cotton in their ears
and noses to prevent the water from en
tering; the greater portion use no pre
caution whatever. Instances are known
where divers have remained underwater
for four, five and even six minutes.
"The oysters are generally sold un
opened and as their contents are alike
unknown to both buyer nnd seller the
transaction is practically a lottery. Many
oysters contain not even a seed pearl,
while another may produce one worth
from $1,000 upward. The finest, per
haps, at present known is in Spain, and
was brought from the Indies by a French
merchant in the reign of Philip IV. of
Spain and purchased by him. Ita
weight is 120 carats and its value un
computed. Another fine pearl, once
"among the crown jewels of Spain, but
now in the possession of the Russian
Princess Y'oussopotl, is the 'Peregrina'
(the incomparable). It was purchased
ty Philip II. aud is now held at $12.,
i00. The Shah of Persia has two pearl
the peers of any of the world. The first
is described by Taverneer, who saw it.
It was found in KiXI by an Arab, and
sonic Years' afterward it was purchased
by the King of Persia for $200,0(10. He
ulso owns another about three-quarters
of an inch in diameter valued at $00,000.
There are some very fine pearls in the
English, French and Russian crown jew
els.ranging iu value from $:;0,000 down
ward. The ruler of Muscat has a col
ored pearl for Yvhjch tljjvum of $1.10,
000 has been offered ajul refused. Mrs.
Mackay owns two very lino pearls, and
others of immense value are nt present
among tho possessions of American mil
lionaires." During the last twenty years. the setting
of pearls and turquoise together has been
practiced extensively. All the large
manufacturers of jcwelryTTiroughout the
world, and more tqansiuely in America,
use on the average f)0 per cent, of
jiirm:oi.-e to 1(10 jief cent, of pearls. The
turquoise, like tho pearl, owes Irtit little.
to art, and lik-- the pearl, also, the
smaller sizes are very cheap. Tl.c
turquoise is composed of earl hy matter
iu combination ith protoxide of cop
per, phosphutu of alumina and iron. It
lias no tranparcncy,and when broken its
color is uniform.
In the middle ages this gem was well
known and most highly valued. But few
ornamental stones had such wonderful
gifts mid virtues ascribed to it. Even to
this day such proverbs as the following
are current :
"A turquoise given by a loving hand
carries with it happiness and good for
tune." "The color of a turquoise pales when
the well-being of the giver is in danger."
It lias been demonstrated at Pittsburg
that for broijiug meats natural gas has
not proved a success.
