The Dairy.
Butter statistics are surprising.
The census returned show tha enor
nous aggregate of 000,000 tons, or
1,200,008,000 pounds, manufactured
In the United States in 1890; and the
quantity hat probably increased
•Ince. ITow much of all this wa3
Meomargarine, so.d under the name
f butter, it is now getting a little
late in the day to inquire. But the
the returns are professedly all of gen
uine butter, and thismav be the fact.
It is said that the 1890 product in
this country would require 1,000
Freight trains of 30 cars each, and
each carrying 20 tons, to transport it.
lowa seems to he tha largest butter
producer—lier return, three years
•go, being a hundred million pounds
(100,000,000), worth $21,000,000. Illi
nois stood next, with 95,000,000
lyorth $20,000,(,00. Wisconsin's pro-
Juet was 45,000,000 p mods, worth
*9,000,000, and Minnesota's nearly as
great—hers being worth $8,000,000
while Michigan's was worth $7,500 -
000. 11l 1885 the assessed value of
cows was $700,000,000—0r more than
the capital of all the national banks,
at that time. Inctedible as it may
*eem, it appears that the annual
dairy butter product of the United
btates exceeds in value that of all of
the lumber, wheat and Iron com
bined. I hat, at any rate, is the
statement of a statistician who pub
■! B f !| es , tl ! e results of his figuring.
ther dairy statistics, milk, cream,
and cheese, also make a big showing.
Curious Occupations of Hindoos.
Census blanks recently distributed
b? the English Government In India
for the purpose of ascertaining the
•Ize of the population have just been
returned to the home oil ice, and
among them are as curious docu
ments us were overcollected in a sim
ilar undertaking. Under the head of
"profession, occupation,etc.,'' a num
ber of Hindoos admit candidly they
are "professional debtors,'' "constant
borrowers," or "men of secret re
sources." Others have put them
selves on record as thieves, village
thieves and brigands, Some of more
modest aspirations call themselves
tavern keepers, visitors of taverns,
traveling story tollers, mendicants,
ponsions on their sons-in-law, or sim
ilar idlers. One Hindoo says that
"ho cannot work beeau e he is a
foot" Others .confess to a more seri
ous occupation, such as "expounder
of oracles," "cyo examiner," 'Sorce
rer," "storm pophet," "tamtam
player," "doctor of Greek medicine."
Another says that ho conduct a mar
riage bureau for young domestics; a
second declares that "he is making a
business of marrying oil his daugh-|
ters for money," which latter is un
doubtedly a very lucrative field. One
profession which seems to be very re
munerative Is that of "hiring out ns
a professional court witness," and h I

UNITED STATES MARINES.
A CORPS ESTABLISHED IN THE
EARLY DAYS OF THE NAVY.
It Costa Nearly a Million Dollars a
Year—Dally Routine at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard.
IT waR the lack of military quali
ties in the sailor that lod to the
formation, in the first days of tho
navy, of the United States Ma
rine Corps. The passing of a hun
dred years has not changed the char
acter of Jack Tar. While formidable
in impetuous assaults with cutlasses or
sabres, he has not the steadiness and
discipline necessary in sustained con
flicts and in the effective use of the
rifle, and so with the recent growth of
the navy the marines have come to
constitute one of its most important
branches.
The corps is maintained by an an
nual appropriation from Congress.
This appropriation last year was $900,-
0(10, which covers the wages, clothing
and living expenses of the 2500 men
who compose the body. The marines
are useful in times of peace for police
duty in the navy yards and on ship
board, but it is when the country is
engaged in war that they are expected
to justify their existence in Uncle
Ham's navy. They are sea soldiers. If
the time comes when the white battle
ships of the United States will engage
with the men-of-war of a hostile power
it will be tho duty of the marines to
man the rapid-firing Catling guns, fill
vacancies at the other guns, scour the
enemy's decks from the tops, fhe poop
and forecastle with their rifles, cover
boarding parties with their fire, and
repel boarders with fixed bayonets.
Should the enemy gain a foothold
they must gather at the mainmast, so as
to command the deck. They must
make the small arms effective and dis
able the enemy's men, while the great
guns, with which the marines have
nothing to do, except in case of
emergency, play havoc with his ship.
But all naval fighting is not done on
the decks of men-of-war. Tho sur
prise of camps or posts, and the
escalade of forts, render shore opera
tions necessary. Picked men are sent
with the attacking sailors, known as
pioneers, and the rest of the marines
form a supporting column to cover
tho retreat and embarkation of the
sailors in case the undertaking fails.
Every navy yard in the United
States has its detachment of marines.
The barracks in tho Brooklyn yard,
however, are the most popular, and as
the marines have their choice of
stations when they return from a
cruise, tho largest number are
quartered here. The full complement
of men is 300. The thing which first
attracts tho attention of the visitor
entering the part of the yard set aside
for the marines is a very long and
narrow building of gray brick, with a
piazza running tho whole length in
front, shaded by a line of trees. This
is the barracks, the living quarters of
the men in neat uniforms who pace
slowly to and fro on guard, or lounge
on the benches under tho trees. The
parade ground, ordinarily green, but
now brown with drought, stretches
out in front. In u group of trees to
the left, with a garden behind, is the
house of tho Commandant of Marines,
and at about the same distance to the
right are tho quarters of the other
officers. Each of these is approached
by a stone walk canopied and shaded '
by rows of pear trees.
There are men from all stations of
life in tho Marino Corps. In the
ranks may he fouud well educated
men, college graduates even, who have
become reduced by misfortune or bib
ulous habits, country boys who came
to New York to seek their fortunes
and found want instead, and men who
have lost their occupations. They all
find a place of refuge in the Marine
Corps, provided they are physically
and mentally sound, nt least five feet
six inches in height, between tho ages
of eighteen and thirty-five, unmarried
and of good habits.
With tho frequent bugle calls niul
the marines crossing aud recrossing the
parade ground, there is always life
about the barracks during the hours
of daylight, but at 10:30 iu the morn
ing, the hour of dress parade, when
the marines are out ill full force, tjieir
uniforms lending brightness to the
sombre background, the yard takes
on a gala-day appearance. But it only
lasts for fifteen minutes. The marine,
even iu these times of peace, does not
live in a perpetual holiday by any
means. At 6:30 in the morning tho
men must be out of bed, aud ready
fifteen minutes later for "setting-up
drill," which is gymnastic exercise
without apparatus. Then the mess
coll is sounded, and they file into the
long mesß room, furnished with two
tables extending the whole length,,
and partake of their breakfast of hash,
pork and beans, or beef stew, accord
ing to the day in tho week, and bread
and coffee. After breakfast the order
is given "To the colors !" and the flag
is raised on the pole in front of the
guard house. Then the guards take
their posts and the routine of the day
begins.
The work for the men on duty is not
sasy, but every marine with a clean
record has twenty hours out of forty
sight to himself. There are various
ways in which he can spend this time.
There are Indian clubs and dumbbells
in the library and cards and chessmen,
which are in great demand in the win
ter, and an organ, too, at which the
musical marine may indulge his taste,
if the operation is not too painful to
ais companions. In this event he is
"called down" very speedily and ef
fectually.
At 11 o'clock at night all lights must
Oe out in tho barracks, and the marines
settle down to slumber, thoHO who
nave been on duty during the day with
(he pleasing contemplation of leisure
and reoreation on the morrow, and tho
others with the prospect of work he
fore them. If the duty is well done it
does not go without its reward. The
men are divided into four classes, ac
cording to their records. AVhen a va
cancy occurs among the corporals, one
of the first-class men is given atrial in
the office. If lie does well, he is ex
amined in reading and arithmetic.
The successful passing of the examina
tion entitles him to the corporalsliip
and gives him the opportunity of soon
becoming sergeant. A marine can
never become a commissioned officer.
The highest office to which he may at
tain is that of sergeant major.—New
York Times.
Mississippi House-floats.
The house-boats, it appears, arc a
survival of one among many kiuds of
boats which were very much more
numerous upon the great river before
the era of steam navigation than steam
boats are now. Among the earlier
forms of boats were the famous "Ken
tucky flats," or **broad-horns," and
family boats of this pattern were an
early modification of • their general
plan, which was that of a strong
hulled ark, long and narrow and
covered with a curving roof. I have
read i That family boats of this de
scription, fitted up for the descent of
families to the lower country, were
provided with a stove, a comfortable
apartment, beds and arrangements for
commodious habitanoy, and in them
ladies, servants, cattle, sheep, dogs
and poultry, all floating on the same
bottom and on the roof the looms,
ploughs, spinning-wheels and domestic
implements of the family, were car
ried-down the river." Fulton's Cler
mont, which proved its usefulness as
the first practicable adaption of steam
power to water travel in 1807, must
have been quickly copied on the Mis
sissippi, for in one list of notable
passages up that river I have seen a
note of a trip by a steamboat in 1814.
But long after that the barges, skiffs,
liorseboats, broad-liorns and family
boats must have remained very num
erous. They floated down stream with
the current, and were pulled up again
by means of wheels worked by hors ea
or cattle and by the toilsome and slow
processes known as warping and bush
whacking. A boat which was warpe d
up the river kept two rowboats ahead
of her carrying hawsers, which were
made fast to the trees on the shore
and then pulled in as the bigger ves
sels were thus hauled along. When
the length of one cable had been pulled
in tho other boat had fastened the
other cable far ahead, and so the ves
sel "inched" along against the five
mile current of the stream a little more
quickly than a house moves when its
owner has decided to move it down a
country road to a distant cellar he has
dug for it. It took a day to go six or
eight miles by that method. Smaller
boats were propelled against the cur
rent by rowing, sailing or poling them
along; and when the water was high
and overflowed tho banks they bush
whacked up stream—that is, they
pulled the vessel along by hauling on
the bushes that brushed the sides of
the craft.—Harper's Magazine.
What Makes People Red-Faced.
Tho stimulus of the sun's direct rays
aud that arising from the friction of
the frosh air causes increased activity
in the capillaries supplying the surface
with blood. Wheu this stimulus is
continued for any considerable time
'these vessels become gorged and min
ute portions of the blood force their
way into tho layer immediately under
the epidermis or outer skin. It is the
presence of tho red corpuscles of blood
which gives tho ruddy flesh tint seen
through the outer skin. At tho sumo
time tho sweat glands and oil glands,
whose function it is to lubricate the
surface and kopt it moist and cool,
become exhausted by over stimulus;
the outer skin gets hard and dry and
soon begins to peel off in tho familiar
way, taking the minute particles of ex
travasated blood along with it. Direct
sunlight also has a darkening effect
upon the actual coloring pigments of
the Hkiu, but this action is distinct
from actual tunning and manifests
itself in tho form of freckles. The
permanent bronze or ruddiness of
complexion scon in sailors and travel
ers in hot countries is a result, of tho
long continued combination of tho two
processes.—Chicago Herald.
Hardy Mountaineers.
There is in Denver a peculiar class
of men. They are essentially men of
the mountains. They may have their
weaknesses, but cowardice is never one
of them. They nre men with a pecu
liar development of certain faculties.
They handle money as a farmer handles
seedcorn—only as a means of produc
ing more. They are always spend
thrifts. ifisers do not live a mile
above sea-level, where the ether in
toxicates, aud a hysteria of hope dis
turbs the emotions of even the best
poised. Physically, these men of the
mountains are remarkable. Their
chests average four inches more in
breadth than those of the men of the
East. They do not become giddy.
They can climb anywhere. They can
walk all day. They can sleep any
where and they can eat anything, but
are naturally luxurious, and the miner's
cabin frequently knows finer viands
than the dining-room of the conven
tional and pretentious citizen.—Omaha
World-Herald.

"A Spiritual Mustard Pot to Make tho
Soul Sneeze With Devotion," "Crumbs

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO WASH FLANNELS.
I Flannels should always be washed
J by themselves in a suds prepared for
: them; on no aocount be rubbed on
i the board, unless very dirty. The
, suds should be pleasantly warm to tho
: hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while tho flannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera
ture as the washing suds, and as many
waters used as may be necessary to
take all the soap out, as the flannels
will never be soft with the soap left
in them. They should never be blued.
They should be pulled in shape before
hanging, undershirts being hung from
tho shoulders. They should never bo
hung out of doors iu freezing weather,
but quickly dried before the fire, or,
better, over the register, and pressed
as soon as dry enough.—New York
Advertiser.
ICINO WITHOUT EGGS.
A recent newspaper article called at
tention to an excellent recipe for mak
ing icing without oggs. It is a con
venient thing to know at this time of
the year when we are entering upon
the days of scarce and expensive eggs.
The recipe in question directs tho stir
ring of confectionary sugar—not
merely pulverized—into orange juice.
A still better way of making eggless
icing is the following, which has been
in use in some households for a long
time, and has entirely superseded the
usual method: Put over a bright fire
a cup of granulated sugar to a quarter
sup of water. Shako together first,
hut do not stir once after they have
been set on the stove. When it drops
into a soft hall iu water take off and
set on the ice or in a dish of cold
water. When it has partially cooled
begin to stir with a fork. It will be
some a creamy pliablo mass, if all is
well, that after flavoring is added can
he spread at once on the cake. If it
should harden too much, or be at all
rough, add more water and cook it
>ver. The final result is perfection
for icing or for hard pudding sauce.—

ARRANGING CUT FLOWERS.
With very few exceptions, every
flower looks best when arranged with
the foliage Dame Nature bestows upon
it. Flowers should not be crowded.
Each one should have a fair chance,
therefore do not use a dozen flowers
when six would look far better. Buds
and foliago are as important in flower
arrangements as the flowers themselves.
Dame Nature always arranges her
flowers in this manner, and we cannot
do better than to copy her as nearly
as we can.
Diflerent flowers need different
surroundings. Tall flowers like j
gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, ehrysanthe
mums, need large, tall vases, while
sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansieß ami
other short-stemmed flowers need low
vases, bowls or baskets. Iu whatever
we arrange our flowers, let it be sec
ondary to the flowers themselves. It
should not be highly colored, so as to
"kill" the coloring of the flowers, or
so elaborate as to draw attention from
them. v
AVe are not compelled, as in former
years, to put our flowers in the regu
lation vase, says Good Housekeeping,
or use a glass preserve dish. There j
are many beautiful receptacles for i
flowers, American cut glass, cut into
innumerable facets, reflecting myriad
rainbowß of colors; in bowls, baskets,
and dishes of various forms. There
arc howls and jugs of crystalline white,
amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise
blue, apple green and a thousand and
one conceits of various kinds.
Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and a bit of the
stems cut off, all decaying leaves and
flowers taken out, and replaced in
fresh water. Soft water is better than
hard ; if the latter is used, a few drops,
of ammonia may be added. Tho cooler
tho flowers are kept the longer they
will last. In the winter, when flowers
are scarce, it is a good plan to take
cut flowers from the vases at night
and place them in a washbowl, keep
ing the flowers above water. Put them
in the cellar, or a cool room where
they will not chill. They will freshen
up and keep much longer than if left
all night in a hot room. Never leave
flowers at night in a sick room. It is
hurtful for the sick person and the
flowers. —Farm, Field and Fireside.

Color Photography.
J The art of photographing colors
seems to be progressing in a very en
! couraging manner. The color photo
j graphs of Si. Lippmann, which ex
cited so much interest a year or so
] ago, have recently been surpassed by
the achievements of Sf. Louis Lu
! miere. M. Lumiere, whose name in
j English means ''light, "lias succeeded
i in preparing gelatinobromide plates
which give, with an exposure of half
an hour, a photographic reproduc
tion of the natural colors of objects.
An exhibition of his work was
made before the commltte of the
I'hoto Club ot Paris at their June
j meeting, M. Lippmann being present
as the presiding officer. Photographs
j were shown exhibiting in their nat
j tiral hues boxes, colored cloths, fans,
Japanese screens, flowers and land-
I scapes.
j The landscape photographs aroused
| the greatest interest. Tho delicacy
of tints which they exhibited was
quite astonishing. All the shades
1 and gradations of color in the grass
I and trees, the sky, the lields, and the
houses were reproduced with extraor
dinary faithfulness and clearness.
The gain in time of exposure
achieved by M. Lumiere is in itself
It great advance. Former methods
of photographing colors have re
quired exposures of not loss than an
hour and a half or two hours; but it is
; hoped that the thirty minutes rc
quired by M. Lumiere's process will
| soon be great ly shortened.
The French are particularly inter
ested iu the progress which color
photography is making in their coun
try. They call it the completion of
■ the invention of Dagucrre, and are
eager to see it brought to perfection
by their compatriots. It does not
j matter, however, whether it is a
] Frenchman, a German, an English
j man or an American who shall first
make color photography the common
property of mankind, in any event he
J will win the gratitude of all nations.
Health of Workmen at High Sum-
Some noteable facts are furnished
by the experience of the workmen
engaged iu constructing the new Cen
tral Railway over the mountains in
j Peru. The line starts at Lima, ir,
altitude twelve degrees, and the sum
- mit tunnel of this lino at Galeria is
!at the height of 15,64"> feet. It ap
j pears that the workmen, up to the i
height or" sou to 10,000 feet, do about j
| the same relative quantity of work ■
as at tho sea level, provided they j
have been inured to tho height or 1
brought up in t..e country; at 12,000
feet the amount of work deteriorates,
and at 14,0)0 to is,ooo feet a full
third had to he deducted from the
amount that the same men could per
form at sea level. Owing to the ab
sence of malaria tho percentage of
efficient labor at the greatest eleva
tion has been a very high one. Men
! coming from the coast were not found
capable of doing efficient work fur
j about two weeks on an average when
taken to high elevations, tho ca
| pacity gradually increasing and reach
ing its maximum in a few weeks ot
months, according to the constitution
of the individual. The majority of
| the laborers being C'holos, or Indians
i born in the Sierra, were found In
capable of doing elfo tive work on
the coasts or in the warmer altitudes
without a long course of acclimatiza
tion. Sudden changes, too, from the
Sierra to altitudes of from 2,000 to
5.000 feet have resulted in sickness j
and fever

"Good Wives Grow Fair in the Light of

"August
Flower"
Eight doctors treated me for Heart
Disease and one for Rheumatism,
but did me no good. I could not
speak aloud. Everything that I took
iuto the Stomrcli distressed me. I
could not sleep. I had taken all
kinds of medicines. Through a
neighbor I got one of your books.
I procured a bottle of Green's Aug
i ust Flower and took it. lam to-day
! stout, hearty and strong and enjoy
the best of health. August Flower
| saved my life and gave me my health.
