What D’ye Think ?
If we could build a railway running to the
moon,
And visit Madam Luna at morning,night and
noon. _
And if we could build another running to
the sun,
‘_ 733m? personally greet IIingSol, each. and
every one;
And if there was a steamer could float be—
neath the seas,
And we could .visit Neptune whenever we
should please,
And prove the truth of mermaids and their
wondrous coral halls, ' _
And dance, by invitation, at their under-
ocean balls;
Anl if the earth would open any pleasant
day,
And drop us into China,whencver we shduld
say 3
And if birds and beasts and reptiles 'could
talk like you and I;
And if men and women, boys and girls,
through the air could fly— '
Would it stop the people wishing all the
while for something more ? .
Would the world be more contented, do you
think, than ’twas before? ’

A race problem in Texas.
A special from Fort Worth, Texas, Feb.
3, says: This city has a rather novel and sen-
sational school squabble on hand. The cause
of the trouble is two little natives of South
America—probably the only ones in Texas.
They are brother and sister, aged 12 and 10
years, respectively. Their complexion is
nearly that of a new saddle, but their features
are of the Castilian cut. There eyes are round,
snappy and sparkling and deep jet in color.
Their hair is heavy and grows long, without
a curl or kink, but as straight as an arrow,
and is a rich glossy black. They have been
regarded as curiosities as rare as Arabs
‘ would be. They are possessed of the aver—
age amount of intelligence and speak Eng-
lish as well as white children of their, age.
They and their mother were brought to Fort
Worth from the interior of Peru in the
spring of 1874, by A. B. Frazier, now post-
master at Mary’s Creek, Tarrant County.
In 1875 their mother died, and the boy was
adopted by Gen. Peers, proprietor of Peer’s
hotel, and the girl by Mr. and Mrs. J. 0.
Abbott. The Peers and Abbott families
have become most strongly attached to their
little wards of the tropics, and the feeling
seems to be rcciprocated. Their adopted
parents concluded to give them a good edu-
cation, and on Monday last sent them to at-
tend the. white public free school—Fort
.Worth having separate free schools for the
white and black races. The teacher observed
a commotional whispering among the schlnrs-
but, thought ..it_ 'Zraltributable t)» natuial
curiosity. But" on'Tuesday morning, on the
reappearance of the sallow-skinned, sharp—
eyed, swarthy—haired pupils, nearly slltbe
white scholars picked up books, slates, etc.
and-left the school, saying they were acting
in accordance with. instructions from their
parents. The principal “reported to Mayor
Brown, president of the school board, for
advice, and that official is in a quandary. "At
present the two little children of the tropics
are taking a vacation for policy's own sake
and to allow time for acompromise if possible. ._
The Palace on Wheels That will
BrlngGarfleld to Washington. '
One of the features of the Inauguration
will be the arrival of President-elect Garfield
and familyin a magnificent'palace car. This
is the property of W. D. Washburn, president
of.the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad,
and has just been constructed. It is without
doubt one of the finest railroad coaches ever
built. Its principal feature is woodwork
which embellishes its interior, and in this re-
spect it is‘even superior to theEPnllinan car.
The walls cf the observatory in the rear and
the drawing-room in the front end of
the car are of the choicest butternut veneer-
ing carved in beautiful design: on white
holly.‘ The ceilings are of; oak .veneering
fiery tastily frescoed, and‘illumiuated in the
most pleasing colors. The President’s pri—
vate department is adorned with ebony,
carved in beautiful designs on snow—white
holly, which gives a rich effect. 'The ceil-
ingin this room is inlaid in various colored
woods embellished With gold. ' The bed
when folded away resembles a richly carved
wardrobe attached _to the wall. A similar
arrangement which provides two beds is in
the observatory. There are sleeping accom-
modations for four more persons placed in I
section after -, thelmanner of the Pullman
sleepers. The drawing-room is furnished
with a parlor set of richly carved ebony il-
luminated with gold and upholstered with
satin damask. The floors. a‘ e covered with
heavy velvet carpet of- rich design. Besides
the apartments described, there are closets

fort. It is understood that the our cost about

Cooking School. 1
J uliettc Corson is giving the Hartford
ladies a 'series of lessons in cooking, which
are reported by the Post, The following are
the receipts given at the last lesson:
' , our: sour.
Look the clams over carefully to see that
no particle of shell remains ; cutoff soft part;
chop asfine as you can the hard part and put
it to boil very slowly for half an hour in or_—
der to extract the flavor or juice; when you
have drained the water from the hard part,
put the soft part into the water and let boil
for fifteen minutes. Make a white sauce and
add to it; season with salt, pepper and nut—
meg, , -
' an.——In boiling clams use the liquor as
far as it goes. If clams are boiled in the
shell use a quart of water for twentydlve
clams, and substitute broth for milk in mak -
ing white sauce, , j .
CLAM rmrrans. .
For one dozen fritters use a quarter of a
pound of flour, with a pinch of pepper and
salt, yolk of one egg, one tablespoonful of
melted butter or salid oil, and enough water
to make thick batter. Mix chopped clams
with it, and last of all beatllle white of the
egg to a stiff froth and add. just before fry-,
ing. Have saucepan half full of hot fat and
fry like doughnuts.
Mam—This receipt.will allow for (twenty-
five clams, using the hard. part only.
BAKED ooansu wrrn CREAM SAUCE.
Use boiled salt codfish with the bones re-
moved; enough cream sauce to moisten;
dust cracker crumbs over, and brown in hot
oven. Or you can warm the fish in white
sauce. .
Menu—This makes a nice breakfast dish.
Another way is to use the yolk of one egg
with lemon-juice or yinegar added to the
white sauce. Still another way is to use the
fish with sauce Hollandaise, or Dutch sauce,
the receipt for which will be given in the next
lesson. ‘
- 1.
men BALLS.
One pound of oodfish for one quart of po-
tatoes; freshen the fish by soaking over night:
with skin-side up, or by putting on fire in
cold water and changing water as it comes to
a boiltwo or three times. Then boil slowly
for about twenty minutes; boil potatoes till
tender. When fish and potatoes are done,
mash together; add two tablespoonsful of
butter, :1 pinch of pepper, and yolks of two
eggs; dip handsin cold water, make in cakes
or balls, roll in flour, and fry in hot fat like
doughnuts. Lay on brown paper to absorb
the fat. ' ‘
Mem.—This makes two dozen cakes.
CABBAGE AND sansacn.
Prick sausage; brown them in deep sauce-
pan or pot; put on top of them cabbage cut
in thin slices and one teaspoonful of salt and
a quarter of a salt-spoon of pepper. Cook
slowly for half an hour or until tender.
Season to taste and serve with sausage; on
top of cabbage. -
Mam—To one pound of sausage "use. a
after it was cooked and it was universally
liked. Miss Corson said that most people
made: the mistake of boiling cabbage too
long; it should only boil till tender. '
‘ canon: sausaen.
’Prick sausage and brown in iron kettle;
season with pepper and salt; poura can of
tomatoes over them—If tomatoes are fresh, a
quart; use garlic size of a pea. Make dump-
lings of two‘ cups of sifted flour, one tea-
spoonful each"of baking powder and salt,an'd,
water enough for a thick batter; 'When the
sausage and tomatoes are hot add dumplings
and cook for fifteen minutes. .
Mam—This is a nice breakfast dish with-
out‘thedumplinga. j « '
moan sausaon.
To bake, prick sausage and put them on
slices of bread add bake for twenty'minutes.
Another way of cooking is to fry the sausage
in fried apple, or broil them'and serve with
fried apple; The French add'a bunch of
herbs or a few cloves. ' . '
‘ To my APPLES.
Wipe apples with a damp towel and core ;
slice: them one-half inch thick; use large
frying pan and lay slices in; season with
salt and pepper, and brown. When tender
take up.
BAKED rumors.
Choose turnips nearly of asize; boil tender
in boiling water and salt; drain them; put
on dish; pour white sauce over them; dust
with cracker crumbs, and brown them either
in a very hot oven or before the fire.
Mam—A nice change in 'early summer is
to peel new turnips, take out a little from
top, boil-as before, and meantime boil green
peas in boiling water ‘and salt, throw into
cold water to set color, arrange the turnips
on a~ dish, and add peas to each turnip. Tour
White sauce ‘over and beat them.
. BOILING BEETS.
' In ansWer to a question Miss Corson said
hours in boiling water and salt; then throw
into cold water for just one minute, and Me
towel to rub off skin. _In preparing beets to
boil be careful not to cut them beyond.
little of the stalk; v
nonsrrsxnamours wrrn APPLE sauce.
Spread tenderloin with “Canton of Lamb"
stuffing; roll up and tie; roast, for three-
quarters of an hour. For the‘ sauce : Put
tablespoonful of Water in saucepan ; add
apples and stew till tender; lay on dish and
place tenderloin'on it. .
Manila—Miss Corson said she should buy
tl'lc‘loiu of pork and cut out the tenderloin,
using the loin one day and the latter for an—
other time. Pork should be very thoroughly
cooked. This is nice cooked with tomatoes.
BAKED BEANS.
In response to an inquiry Miss Corson said
it was not necessary to soak beans over night.
.They will become moist in one hour by soak-
ing. The water should not be changed in
boiling unless the strong flavor of the beans
is objected to, but add Water as it absorbs
until the beans are tender. Put pork in to
boil a short time before the beans are tender;
season with salt and pepper and bake in the
bean pet from four to five hours with pork
on top, and moisten occasionally while
baking with the liquor the beans are boiled
in. Allow two tablespoonsful of molasses to
one quart of beans. -

Ax HISTORICAL Swamn—Mattawoman
swamp, which the Port Tobacco correspond—
ent of the Sun described recently as having
overflowed to such an extent that it is dan-
gerous to attempt to cross it, is the same
swamp in. which John Wilkes Booth, in
April, 1865, concealed himself. At that
time, however, the swamp could be forded
easily. Booth afterwards hid himself in an
old vault at .St. Thomas’ Catholic church,
which is on Port Tobacco creek, opposite the
residence or the late Chief Judge Brent.
The vault was built during the early days of
the settlement of Maryland as a refuge in
case of an attack from Indians. Old St.
Thomas‘ church’ was built in1795, .but about
fourteen years ago it burned down and was
rebuilt. ’The church is in charge of the
Society of Jesus, which owns about 5,000
acres of land in southern Maryland. Booth
was shot in J ett’s barn, King George county,
Va., and his remains were finally buried in
Greenmount cemetery in this city—Balti-

Food for Journalistic Thought.
See here, gentlemen of the professional
press, here is a plot for a thousand new
stories concerning the situation:
Garfield takes dinner with Foster at the
house of a mutual friend. ’
Foster helps Garfield to alight in the after
dinner smoke.
The two pass the night under the same
hospitable roof. . ‘
Garfield goes home. (This may not be
starting in itself, but see what it leads to).
Fosten goes to Columbus.
Sherman is coming to Mentor.

he sees Foster. ' . ' .-

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLAlll '
Dr. Theobald lately exhibited a beetle at
ascientific meeting, giving these figures to
illustrate its physical strength: Weight of
beetle, two grains; weight moved by it 5;
ounces—71,320 times the weight of the beetle.
A man of 150 pounds weight, endowed with
the strength of this insect, should therefore
be able to move 198,000 pounds, or nearly
100 tons. - ' ‘ ‘
According to a recent work by Prof.
Bischofl, an eminent Munich anatomist, the
average weight of the human brain is 1362
grammes for man and 1219 grammes for
woman. ' The difference between the average
brain weight of man and woman thus amounts
to 143 grammes, or 10% per cent. The brain
weight -of man exceeds that of all animals
except the elephant (4500 grammes) and the
larger Cetacele (2500 grammes). The brain
weight of the largest apes, is hardly a third
of man’s. Prof. Bischofif‘s data comprise
the weights of brain of 059 men and 349
women.
An insect has no lungs, states Mr. J. C.
Wood. It rcspircs after a manner totally dif-
ferent from that of higher animals. The
‘fspiracles” admit air into two tubes, which
run along the sides of the body. The insect
does not breathe through its mouth or through
fits nose, but through the sides of its body.
It has alarge number of brain through the
body, which explains why it is so difiiculf to
kill an insect, as each separate brain has to
be: destroyed.
Changes in thermometers ranging as high
as eight to ten degrees have been found to
occur when applied to certain purposes, and
kept at a high temperature for a considerable
period. :

The influence of .the moonon the temper-
ature was the subject of a paper recently
read to the French Meterological Societyby
My Cocurdevache, giving the result of eight
years’ observations at Saint-Maur' Observa-
tory. Comprising the mean daily tempera-
tures for the months of March, April ahd
May, he shows that the temperature decreas-
es until the fourth day after new moon, rises
to its highest point on the sixth (an average
of 14 8 degrees), fall: again until the eleventh

A. novel mode of propelling vessels has
been described totbe French-Academy by
M. Crandt," who says he has ”constructed
apparatus for ‘the. purpose. The principal
agent is electricity. One. or more sets of
electro-dynamic apparatus are driven by an
orninary steam engine. ' Theelectric current
is Sent through a voltameter " containing
acidulated water. The oxygen ,and hydro-
gen‘arising from decomposition of the water
are led, in a tub, fore or left, in the boat,
according to the direction in which it is
‘desired to go. ‘ They escape by an ' aperture
in the hull, a little above: which aperture is
an induction coil arrangement, by which
sparks are passed between two insulated
platinum points. The explosion of the gases
thus caused propels the boat; May this idea
not lcad us to hope that, after all our mis-
givings, some use may be found for hundred
ton. guns ? The recoil produced by the rapid
firing of charges of several hundred pounds

“Yes, it’s so," said the man.
“Oh, John, you must be mistaken,” said
his third wife.
“Well, I tell you it‘s so; I ought to know,”
was the emphatic reply of John Hefifner, who
lives on Maple street, between Chestnut and
Spruce, this city. A reporter for the Eagle
had called upon Mr Heffner to learn the cor-
rect history of his much—talked about great
brood of forty-one children. _
Heflner is sparingly built, smokes a short
pipe, and makes a living in the rag business.
He is 65 years old, and has a pleasant smile
and a cheerful greeting for all friends. . The
story of the man’s married life, as related by
himself,.is probably the most remarkable one
on record. He Was born in Germany in 1815.
first wife, who lived eight years. She became
the mother of seventeen children in that time
having twins in the first year of their mar-
risge. The next year another pair of twins
were born. Each Succeeding year for four
years thereafter Mrs: Heflner became the
mother of triplets. _ The seventh year was
Iignalized by the birth of only one child,
Mrs. Hcfiner died and was laid away in the
village church-yard in Germany. -The
widower had now a family of seventeen
children, the oldest only 7 years of age.
Thee months thereafter a young lady took
charge of the children, and in course of time
she became the second Mrs. Hefiner. The
first wife died in February, 1848. In Feb-
ruary. 1849, ‘this, second wife presented Mr.
Hefiner with a boy. On Christmas day of
the same year the ninteentb child was added
to the Hefiner flock. The ramily was now
larger than anypther in,that part of the coun-
try. Five- years passed by and Mr. Heflner’s
household'wes increased by the addition of
ten more children—a pair of twins being
born every year. There was no lull, and
for three years thereafter only one child was
born unto them, In 1854 he came to this
country with his family, and the last three
children were_,born in America. In 1857 his
wife died, having been married nine years.
He was now the father of thirty two children
twelvepf whom had died, leaving twenty to
betaken in charge by a widow whom he
married in 1858. Mrs. Hefiner No. 3 had one
childby sprevious marriage. She became
the mother of. nine-more children in ten years

Over the banister bends a face,
Darlingly sweet and beguiling;
Somebody stands in careless grace
And watches the picture smiling.
Over the banistcr soft hands fair
Brush his cheek like a feather;
Bright brown tressea and dusky hair
Meet and mingle together.

“Feller told me last night that all walking

“That’s too thin,” replied the little one.
“We had a square bet, and you lost. I shall,

“We didn’t put up the money.”
“I know it, You trusted to my honor, and
I trusted to yours. You knew you could
lick me if I didn’t pay, and I knew you
wouldn’t crawfish for ten cengs. Fork ’er
over, Jim, and be a man.”
“I dunno about that,” said Jim, in a dubi-

“Jim," continued the little one, “you ain’t

now you may be keepin’a saloon. Then you
want my custom. Then you’ll wish you’d

“I shan’t never keep a saloon.”

Thrilling.
The following thrilling description of a
fire appeared inaColorado contemporary:
“Tuesday morning last the cry of fire rang
out on the still air about eight o’clock in the
morning. Rushing out of stores-and houses
the crowd of citizens saw a column of smoke
pouring out of the adobe building corner of
Fifth and .G streets like the signal of the
Utes from the mountain heights when ex-
pecting an incursion from the Arapahoes,
Modocs,-prospectors, or other such foes. The
brave firemen of our town rushed to the
engine house for the new double-squirt, but,
alas! it had not arrived. With almost
superhuman energy a ladder at least twelve
feet long was put up against the front of the
building. Then theanxious eyes of the peo-
ple saw the foreman, Henry Townsend, and
Wing Sing springing to the roof at the peril
of their lives and~throw buckets of water
upon the fire. As the fire, was in the fine
and caught from the Stovepipe the daring
fireman and Wing Sing put it out. Thus
was a far-reaching confiagration checked
‘like a worm in the bud, that never told its
love.’ ”

Fun at a Funeral.
A POLITICAL CORPSE REVISITS THE EARTH AND
MAKES A SPEECH.
The Republican victory was recently cele-
brated at Clarinda, Page County, Iowa, by a
banquet. Among those who happened to be
present was one L. B. Cake, a young Dem—
ocratic lawyer. After several speeches, and
amid the prevalent good feeling, he was
called upon for a speech, and responded as
follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS: A man usually attends
his own funeral, but it is not expected that he
should talk a great deal. I knew the funeral
ceremOnies would go on without me, soI
concluded I would bring in the body.
[Laughter ] But it takes a great deal of
grace to sustain a man who helps to furnish
the corpse for an occasion like this. [Laugh.
ter.) Nobody but a democrat could do it.
It is certain that no one save a Democrat has
had a chance to try it for the last twenty
years. Disappointment is the modern Dem-
oeratic'birthright, and mourning his normal
condition; they took out a patent on disaster
twenty years ago, and it has never been in«
fringed. The patent run out in 1876 and
they have just got it renewed. [Loud ap-
plause] Looking over the landscape of the
last twenty years I behold acres and acres 'of
busted hopes, cords and cords of disgruntled
ambitions, barrels and barrels of unavailing
tears, oceans and oceans strewn with wrecks
of phantom ships once burdened with Demo-
craticdelusion. Disappointmentisan anchor
-to the Democratic soul both sure and stead-
fast. [Continued applause.]
iLeaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the north wind’s
breath, .
And stars to set, but all, 0, Democrat!
Thou hast all times for thine own death.
I might say with Shylock, sulfrance, yea,
sufi'erance is the badge of our tribe. I could
give you 329 reasons for that. A lawyer
offered a judge sixteen reasons why his oil-
out was not in court: First, he was dead.
The judge told him he might omit the other
fifteen. The first reason of my 329 is we
lacked the votes. [Laughter] You will
allow me to omit the 328. But I could give
you more than 329 reasons. Yea, Moer-y
letter. John Kelly did it with his little
racket. _ Wade Hampton’s mule broke his leg
instead of his neck, and Ben Hill wasn't born
a mute. English had foreclosed his mortgages
and he couldn’t redeem. Then:
’Tis the South that can supply
Solid comforts while we die.
[Loud laughter.] In some States the Green-
back party fell through a. crack in their
platform and crippled us. But Democracy
still lives. It’s like the mule; it never dies.
But unfortunately, like the mule, while it
lives it is forever throwing its riders. [Ap~
plause.]
It bucked Greeley oil and kicked him in
1872. Tilden stuck on until he passed under
the wire, but there was so much daylight
between him and this Democratic quadruped
the judges counted‘him off, although he had
his feet in the stirrups, This year we got a
splendid send off and might have won, but
the donkey was stricken down in Indiana
with (g) Lenders. We close this chapter of
history with the hope that the story will not
be continued in our next. We accept defeat
the more cheerfully because of the maguani-
mous manner with which you take the vic-
' tory. We take it every four years. It is a
standing prescription. It might well be call-
ed the quadrennial ipecac. It wo'rks up be-
fore election and works down as the returns
come in. We thank you for the unanimous
way in which you have turned out to our
funeral. We congratulate you on the mag-
nificent and imposing grandeur of the obse—
quies. Long continued applause]

ORIGIN or run "BAKnn‘s Dozsx."-—Close
by Market Street (now Broadway) lived and
prospered a baker, the first man'that ever
baked N ow Years cakes—in fact, theinventor
of them. The name of our friend was Valck-
ert Jan Pietersen Van Amsterdam,commonly
known as Baas. He was Dutch from his
large feet to his round bald head, and had no
respect for any one or anything that was
not Dutch He was a regular attendant at
the old Dutch church, but, nevertheless, in
constant fear of being bewitched. Hrs wife
Maritje. was economical even to saving the
parings of her nails, and his ginge’r-bread
babies were always made in imitation of his
children. It was New Year Eve, 1655, and
Baas was in his shop dealing out cakes for
small pieces of money. called wampum. He
had taken an extra glass of rum in honor of
St. Nicholaus, when he heard ‘a sharp rap,
and in walked as ugly an old woman as ever
he had set eyes on. '
“I want a dozen New Year cookies," she
screamed. \
“Vell, den, you needin’ sbcak so loud,” re-
plied Baas. “Duyvel! I ain‘t teaf, den."
“I want a dozen,”screamed the old woman
“and here is only twelve.”
"Veil, den, .l'Ind vhat (le duyvel is dwarf
but a dozen ?" said the baker.
“I tell you I want one more 1” she shriek-
ed.
ffVell den,” said be, “you may go to de
dnyvel und get anodder; you vou’t get it
here.”
From this time' on our baker’s wife and
himself were made miserable Their money
and cookies were taken away by invisible
hands; their bread either rose out of their
sight or sank into the earth ; the famous
brick oven was torn down, and poor Bass

The great "Worth approved the fabric and

“Sir,” says Ruskin, “There is only one
way to have good servants—that is to be
WON-by of being wellserved. All nature and
all humanity will serve a good master and
rebel against an ignoble one. And there is
no surer test of the quality of its servants,
for they are their masters’ shadow nnd dis—
tort their faults in a flattened mimlcy. A-
wise nation will have philosophers in its
servants’ hall, a knavish notion will have
knaves there, and a kindly nation will have
friends there. Only let it be remembered
that ‘kind’ness’ means, as with the child, so
with your servant, not indulgence, but the
care."
One of the most signal religious changes of

bishop had suspended the priest a divim's

deaf; Baas was black and blue from head to

Thrice the old woman appeared, and thrice
was she sent to “de duyvel." And at last,
in his agony, Baas bethought himself of St.
Nicholaus, who advi him, on hearing of
his troubles, when be counted a dozen to
count thirteen.
“Py St: Johannes de Dooper, but St. Nich-
olaua is a great plockhead !” thought Baas;
and while he was thus thinking, St. Nick had
vanished, and in his stead was the old worn .
She repeated her demand for “one more,’
and Bass, remembering St. Nicholaus, ac-
ceded to her demand, when she exclaimed,
“The spell is broken, and henceforth a dozen
is thirteen; and thirteen is a dozen,” And
taking a cocky with an effigy of the good
saint on it, she made Beds swear that ever
afterward twclve should be thirteen, as a type
of the thirteen mighty States that should
