“Thou will find nothing here
Of all that pained thee in the haunts of men
To make thee loathe thy life."
"If Bryant were with us to-dsy, he

We pause in our walk, Barrie and 1,3to'
watch the merry squirrels, o'ur' haudslilll
to overflowing with the treasures of {the
early autumn. Fluffy clematis pulls trail
. likc tufted down among crimson-und-gold
bittersweet berries, pale purple asters and
golden rod that shines like myriad clus-
tered stars in the midst of dainty fern
plumes.
We stand here in a wide lane in the
midst of sloping meadows, that seems to
have been lost, or left out of mind, for
there is not one print of man's foot down
among the tall, swinging grass-blades and
velvety mosses.
But, left as it has been, entirely to Na-
ture. Nature has been kind to it. as she
is always to any lonely, desolate thing,
making even a rotten, jagged stump such
a picture of beauty as man could not do
if he would,——thongh, now-a-dsys, we are
more likely to do as Mrs. Dorr says— 1
"pull the rose of life in pieces to no what
it is made of," than build up amass of
beauty on a fallen tree. But Nature is
more kind to us than we are ourselves;
and even the pauper‘s graveyard, left to
run to waste, is transformed into a wild
tangle of vines and mosses and daises, as
if to remind us that it is “God's Acre,”
too.
But this lane. [low can 1 do justice to
it i’ To say that it is a “wilderness of
beauty," will not be ll‘lle, though it is
wild for. let a gardener, however artistic
he be, do his best, he could never form
such a perfect picture of capricious nature
as this! So I will just describe it as best
I can, and let you decide for yourselves
whether or not it is a “wilderness.”
1 think it has been lost from the “haunts
of men," undertrodden as it is, and fairly
bound in by tangled vines. The stone
walls—ah, for beauty, give me stone wallI
forcver.—are entirely hidden by a hedge
of crimson and gold and green sumac
bushes bound about and twined in I won-
dcrful way by dainty trails of clematis,
the exquisite fairylike pufls lying like
down in among the brilliant sumac lesvu.
From bush to bush, from one side to the
other the wild grape clings in a reckless,
gipsy fashion, forming an arch above our
heads, while clusters of purpling fruit
hang temptingly near. In and out among
the sumac rise the sprays of stray. golden
rod and deep purple asters and tiny su-
tumn daires, and frost-touched ferns.
Along the edge the tangled wild briars
with crimsoned leaves, run riot as though
to warn us that nature has thorns as Well
as roses and we must becsrcful how we
rob her of of her artistic effects.
At our feet, along the roadside. in the
midst of brown brake and sword-grass,
bubbles a tiny brook. Just beyond, on a
witch hazel twig a mile of ayellow bird
chirps cheerrly.
Suddenly the squirrel, that all this time
has been chattering dcrislvely as it swung
on the clematis, springs across to the hazel
bush, its “sequent tail outstanding straight
behind," and the poor little bird gives a
frightened chirp and flies away above the
bright bushes into the blue beyond.
We laugh. It is utterly impossible to
help it when that mischievous squirrel is
tricking about and chattering, with such
bright eyes we wonder if it isn't really
laughing too.
Then we go on, presently coming to a
messy, worm-eaten stile over which wild,
crimson ivy runs riotously, swaying in the
strong, sweet breeze.
We pause a minute, leaning on the stile
as we look across the meadows, far, far
away to where a blue line of water spark-
ling in the sunlight, shows us the Sound
is still in sight. ‘
Some cattle are straying over the slopes
to the right, their tinkling bells filling the
air with peaceful music.
“The cattle on a thousand hills are the
Lord’s,".l:1arrle says, more to herself than
to me. “See, Kate," she adds, with
sparkling eyes, "doesn't the sunlight fiood-
ing everything, seem as though God were
blessing Ilia work, with a wonderful. rs.
diant s'nile ? Look,‘how the very flowers
bend forward, as if afraid of not catching
that smile."
Then as we stand. suddenly, shrill and
startling sounds a callat our feet.
"Ks-nick! lie-nick!
Ker-tickl a-tick l”
“A cricket, Harrie,” I exclaim, slop-
ping to find the cherry fellow hidden
among the forms and tall grasses. “There
he is! See! Hear how he 'creeps' away
to himself as happy as ever a cricket can
or
“flush l" she exclaims, softly. “I be-
lievc that is the identical squirrel we saw
in the lane i No other one could have
such merry eyes and such an energetic
tail! Look, Kate! There he is peeping
at us from behind the golden rod yonder.
Oh, you little. mischief—Look out, Kale,
don’t frighten him-
"Take the thanks of Hiawatha,
And the name which he now gives you ;
For hereafter and forever _
Boys shall call yon'Abjidsnmo,
Tsil-in-sir the boys shall callyou 1”
“Was there ever such a» mischief f" as
he turns with a flash ,and spring, leading
high up in the tree beside him.
We climb over the. stile—how graceful-
ly, I shall not say—and turn into the wood ‘
to the left, where the trees rise tall and
dark and silent. Where in the midst
“Of the woody dell .
Where her light feet dance over the heather-
» bell
Onltho bright and breezy moor,”
Harris and I go searching for nature’s hid.
den treasures and strange surprises.
“The pins has a fringe of softer green;
And the moss looks bright where her feet
hath been,"
I say, laughing, trailing a fuzzy spray of
clematis across Harric's check that is
colored bright by the winds.
“Don't be silly, Karel" she says, “Oh.
bl careful! See, you almost stepped on
him! Poor little foliage-poor little

little robin in her hands tenderly, regard-4

pdrgnsntly. Look at its broken wing! I
declare, Ilsrrir, 1'dllketo choke whoever
did it i The idea offinding sport in such
things as this! Poor little robin 2"
While the bird gives a weak chirp and
then lies sltll in‘Harrie's hand.
“We will. take it home and nurse it
unill it gets well! ’ she says, holding it
tenderly. -
I gather up tbcfiowers she has dropped;
and so, she with the bird,1 with my arms
full of sutumn’s treasures, we start on

our way through the woods. We
haven’t gone far, however, when, on
turning a sudden bend formed by great
rocks filled one on auolher,—we come
within sight and hearing of one :if the
prettiest natural pictures I have ever
seen.
A steep mossy bank not more than six
feet high, edged along the top with great
feathery fern and .small purple asters.
At the far end of the bank a wide, wild
brook has been caught by the ferns and
sword-grass and held prisoner until, fret-
ting and tossing to be free, it suddenly
dsshcsthesdlong over the bank. and falls
in a 7'wlds sheet of foam and silvery spray
“down to the reeds and mosses beneath ;
and dances on, over the level woodlands
beyond; with many gurglcs and shouts
of brighten-defying the ferns and grasses

"each other as they catch the brook’s
voice; while here and there a late butter-
fiy darts from one flower to another, tell-
ing of the escape of the waters.
We stand spell-bound a few minutes,
so quick, that a timid gray rabbit with
great frightened eyes, p roses amid the
fern, its long ears erect, and then darts
away across our path and disappears.
“Oh, Kate!" Harrie says at lust, with
a long-drawn sigh.
“Was there ever anything prettier 1
Look at that crimson ivy trailing along
the brook l"
"My dear, it is very beautiful i" I an-
swer, steeping to gathersome of the dain-
ty ferns and delicate daises.
“You remember reading the other even
ing Whittier‘s verses totlrc river, the M. r-
rimac which he loved i"
And standing thus on the edge of the
hurrying brook, we repeat together the
lines:
Sing soft, sing low, our lowland river
Under thy banks of laurel bloom;
Softly and sweet, as the hour beneath,
Sing us the songs of peace and horns.
Bring on the airs of hills and frosts,
The sweet aroma of birch and pine,
Give us a waft of the north wind laden
With sweet-brim- iodors and breath of kine.
Sing cul bring down, 0 lowland river,
The joy of the hills to the waiting sen ;
The wealth of the voles, the pump of menu-
tains, . -
The breath of the woodlands, bear with
thee.”
For a few minutes there is silence in
the shadowy woods,—if there is ever ut-
tcr silence in nature—then there is a
rushing and rustling above our heads,—
a putter ofswift wings on the satin leaves
—a chirp, a twitter.
“What is shut it ' I-Isrrrie asks bteatblesr-
ly.
"Nature's angels," Isnswer, smiling up
at the flock of blackbirds sweeping south-
ward above the treetops, “Angels I" cries
Harrie, aghast at the idea. “Why, Kate,
they. haven‘t any souls l"
“I wish.thcy had i" I answer, shocking
my emu, more than ever. “Do you
know, Barrie, I believe that the angels
that existed before the world was created
—had’ut souls like ours! That is,” I
hasten to sav, seeing her look of surprise,
“they ,have never and will'never apprc
ciate . heaven in just the way we will.
They were always angels; they never
tolled through weary, monotonous days
when labor seemed useless and night wa s
hailed with delight because it brought a
‘little sleep, a little slumber, a little fold-
ing of the hands to sleep’. They can
never feel the same love for God that we
do, because [Is did not give His Son to
suffer and die ;t_o save them—they were
already saved. I don't doubt they love
Him—no soul in heaven could help it—
but they cannot know what rapture it is
to be free from earthly sorrows. They
know we suffer and toil. faltering when
we should not falter. but they do not

after all, it js beautiful to live—to feel
though even so little, the tbrob of God's
great heart! Ihave suffered, even in a
far less degree, the trials He suffered 1"
“Kate," Harrie says, after a pause, her
wide, brown eyes full of wonder, “for
all we are such old friends‘I believe that
even yet I do not understand you 1”
“My dear,” I reply, “the reason is that
you are Peace and I am Tribulation l"
“No—hush 1" she exclaims, quickly,
“You musn't say that! You are just a
dear, sweet girl, and the best friend I
have !”
“Flatterer!” I;say, laying a spray of
laurel against her fair hair. '“You are the

A DOUBLE EAGLE.
Miss Sammie was the only daughter of
the person so invariably called Old Sam-
mis, in his native town, that no one called
him by any other name, and until his will
was read, the fact that he had been christ-
ened Octavius Cicero Sammis was actual-
ly unknown to many. However, he had
actually not lived as many years as some
who had not been thought of yet as more
than middleaged. It was his manner,
his long nose.snd sharp chin, the wrinkles
in the forehead, and the sparse grayish
hair that gave him the reputation of age,
and his vices had not Men those of young
men. even at five-and twenty. A prudent
saving boy, he had gone on to be a stingy
young fellow, and a miserly elderly man.
His long, straight brown coat. his shab-
by stove-plpe hat, his wrinkled boots, and
the trowsers, which were always too long
and full for him. and fell over them in
many wrinkles, seemed always to be the
same, and he had worn one glove for five
years, having lost its mate three years after
ls purchase.
- ‘Wheu his poor wife was ill the doctor
had ordered wine and beef-tea, but he had
remoustratod.
meat, and wine is very dear—and a bad
habit also, my love. Don't you think you
could takes nice little piece of fried pork
and some old cider instead ?" The poor
woman had answered that she would
"try.” But after she had tried a week
even Old Ssrnmis said that something
must be done. He bought the wine and
the beef, but before the tea was made she
was past swallowing.
Her daughter came home from her un-
clc's then and cried over what the neigh-
bors told her, but did not say to her fath
or what she intended to say; for in going
down stairs to hide in the cellar the bottle
of wine his, wife, had left as full as when
it came into the house, Old Ssmmis
tipped and fell, the bottle broke and cut
his arm, and eryslpelas set in, of which
he (lied, and the girl who had washed
dishes in her uncle’s kitchen (to save
her keep) found heasclf worth half a
million.
. She was asmsll, thin girl. She stooped
a good deal, and her nose and chin nearly
met; but she was neat and prim; and as
soon as the power was hers she furnished
the old house decently, and hired a ser~
vast. She might have cut a dash, and be.
come a fashionable woman, but the thought
did not occur to her. She felt happy
when she thought of the money that be-
longed to her, and she could not bear to
“Beetles uses up so much,
part with much of it. She was not even
able to bring herself to the point of buy-
ing a black silk dress for her aunt , who
needed one sadly. Two or three hundred
dollars would have filled a trunk over
which those poor little shabby cousins
would have danced with joy; but she
could not do it. She could not have de~
nied any one food and medicine, or fire, or
light, or anything needful under her own
roof. as her father had denied her mother,
for she was only twenty-one and a woman;
but she had the old man’s blood in her
veins, and the miscr’a craving lurked in
her soul.
So the interest of her money was slowly
added to the principal, and she grew do“
or slowly, but surely.
However, she was not yet a miser, and
when certain things in the way of table-
linen were wanted. she went down to the
city to buy them, and to make a call or
two as well, and was hurrying up Broad-
wsy from the ferry, when just as she pass-
ed Trinity church a man touched her on
the arm and said :’
"Beg your pardon, lady, but haven‘t you
lost a twenty dollar gold piece 1"
Now Miss Sammis knew well enough
that she had bad no gold whatever with
her, but she hesitated before saying no.
“I'm not sure. I must look," she said,
feeling for her porlemcnnaie.
“I think I seen it drop outen your pock-
et when you took out your handkercher,"
said the man.
Satan got thé better of Miss Sammie.
“Then I must have lost it," she said.
"Yes, lady; and it‘s honest of me to
pick it up fur you, ain't it, when I might
s’ kep' it i” said the young _.man,.holding
out the money. ..“And youbadn’t oughtcr
begrudgeruea dollar to. getis- mesl-‘s vic-
tusls with,lurd you.jest,a_ asrcward for
young man. ~ . .
“Well, no. (I thinklought to give you
something," said the miscrfsdaughter. “I
wasltblnlting of a quarter, but—" she
looked into her pursuant! slowly took
out a dollar bill-Q“bllt- .lh'ere if, she add-
ed, with a sudden thrill of generosity.
“There !" ‘_ _
- The young man seized 'theEmont-y, said
“Thauk’ce," andvunishcd around a cor-
ncr; and Miss Sammie, with the joy of
one who has drawn a prize in the lottery,
hrrrricd to the shop where she intended to
purchase her table linen, made her selec-
tions, and offered the twenty-dollar gold
piece. Cash carried it away in a basket,
and five minutes more a request that she
would “step into the office" was made by
under arrest on a charge of having tried to
pass counterfeit coin.
“But I’m Miss Sammie, of Honeytown,"
explained the poor girl. amidst her sobs
“I’m rich. It is Impossible to suspect
me."
"If you could remember where you got
the money," said the policeman, as he put
her into a cab, “it would be better for
you. We are looking out for these very
gold pieces. and women are getting rid
of them, and that makes it bad, you see.”
,And so they drove away from the little
crowd that had gathered about the car
tinge, and Miss Summis soon found her-
self in the presence of a justice of the
peace.
The shopkeeper made his charge, but
she had collected hcr senses. She gave
her address, the name' of her pastor, of
her lawyer—influential persons in Honey-
town.
“ It is mortifying to be charged with a
thing,” she said, “but you will soon find
that I am not connected with a band of
counterfcilers. I inherited half a million
of money a sort time ago. My father was
Octavius Cicero Sammie."
Money commands civility, as agenerai
thing. Everyone became immensely po-
lite. The lawyer was telegraphed for,
and came in a tremendous stats of excite
meat.
He questioned his client as to her pos-
session of the money, and her vague an-
swers led him to believe that she was dc-,
sirens to shield some one from suspicion.
"The truth must be told, my dear young
lady," he said. uWe will put you on oath.
Your good heart makes you desire to pro-
. tect an unworthy person, but for your own
‘bake we must put you on oath."
“And so the thin lips of Miss Sammie
kissed the Bible, and the questions were
asked:
“Where did you get ibis gold piece 1'”
“From a man on the street."
“What was the man’s name i’"
“I do not know."
“Why did he give it to you P"
“He asked me if I had lost it."
“And you said '9"
“At first I said I did not know; then,
perhaps; and I gave him a reward for
find it. He asked for it. '
“Had you dropped it i"
“No." ‘
“How do you know 1’"
uI brought no gold with me."
“It is a very common trick, and gener-
ally succeeds," said the judge to the law-
yer. “It is clear that Miss Sammie did not
know the money was counterfeit."
The lawyer took the lady home. On
the way they scarcely spoke; but alone
in her own room. Miss Sammie, over.
whelmcd with shame, wept herself ill.
She might have felt only indignation at
a false arrest, but she knew in her inmost
soul that when she falsely claimed that
money, she was at heart a thief. She be
gan to think as she had never thought be-
fore, and she understood that she had in-
heritedlthc miser's mania, and that it was
growing on her,so that she, a rich woman,
had, she believed, taken from a poor and
honest man what did not belong to her.
It was true she had been tricked and
cheated, but that did not alter the facts.
Then she prayed for help, and. grew
strong. She did not alter her plain way
'of living, but she entertained her friends
and gave to the poor. She saw to the:ed-
ucation of her little cousins, and sent
many a kind gift to her aunt, and she
helped her pastor in his work.
Kindly feelings grew in her heart, and
her face softened, and she grew agreeable
in apppcsrsnce and attractive in manner.
And, finally, the most softening influence
in the world filled her heart. She loved
a good man; who loved her tenderly. To
gether they live amongst their children in
old Honeytown, and ' are known as the
most kindly of its people. No worthy
charity but has been aided by them. No
good object but they are ready to further.
The miscr's daughter has conquered her
hereditary vice—one so nearly allied to
dishonesty that the miser is always ready
to become a thief, and generally is one—-
and the angels smile over her victory.—

TIIE FIREIIEN’S HOLIDAY.
' A Brilliant. Demonstration in Bridgeport—son}
Thousand Men in Line—Ollttsrlng Apparatus
and Streets Thronged with Admiring Specta-
tors.
Three great events have occurred in
this state this fall—Governor’s day at the
Connecticut National Gusrd’s encamp-
ment, the Danbury fair, and the firemen’s
parade in Bridgeport, but the greatest of
these was the parade of the “fire laddles"
on Thursday. It was the most imposing
and brilliant demonstration of any do-
scriptidn thatcver took place in the en-
terprising'audgrowing city of Bridgeport.
The parad‘c‘._'wa's. conceived by the Pacific
was organized a year ago to take part in
Danbury’s well remembered parade, and,
with the aid of the Seamstress company,
formed of the employees of the Wheeler
d7 Wilson Sewing Machine company, and
the Eaton, Burnham d5 Cole 110w compa-
ny, was carried to asucceasful termina-
tion. The paid fire department would
have nothing to do with the affair, but
that fact did not detract in the least from
the brilliancy of the demonstration. The
firemen were not alone interested in the
event, but the public joined in the holiday
to a large extent. Over 1,500 tickets
for Bridgeport were sold at the South
Norwalk depot, and packed excursion
trains were run from all along the line of
the Consolidated road between New York
and Springfield. Tire Housatonic and
Naugalnck roads couldn’t get care enough
to transport all the people that wanted to
come to Bridgeport, and in Ansouia and
Birmingham all the factories were shut
down. The Standard estimates that 85,-
000 strangers were in that city. The
weather was faultless. and everything
tended to make the occasion a perfect suc-
cess. The formation of the procession
was made in good shape. and the three
divisions filed into line with no un-
pleasant hitcbcs, and it started shortly
after the appointed time. The first divi-
sion was comprised of 25 hose, hook and
ladder companies, and steamers, 18 bands
and drum corps, in all embracing 1,300
men; the second division of 22 hose,
hook and ladder companies and steamers,
18 bands and drum corps, 1,400 men; the
third divlgion of 23 hose, hook and ladder
companies and steamers, 17 bands and
drum corps, 1,200 men. In, the third di-
vision were the Pionecr Hook and Ladder
company and Hope Hose company of
Norwalk, Putnam Hose of South Norwalk
and the Westport companies. The Dsn~
bury companies were in the first division,
and the Stamford companies in the second.
Besides numerous companies from west-
ern Connecticut which were in line, were:
Columbia Steam Engine company of
Allentown, Peun., Minnehaha Steam En-
gine company of Newark, N. J., Steam
Fire Engine company of Holyoke, Mass.
Greylock Hook and Ladder company of
Pittsfield, Mass, Steam Fire Engine com-
pany and Protective Hose company of
Sing Sing. N. Y., Mutual Engine compa-
ny of Mount Kisco, N. Y., and two com-
panies from Tarrytow n. The houses and
buildings along the line of march were
profusely decorated, and flags, hunting
and tmblcmatic designs were displayed
allover the city. The citizens vied with
with each other in doing honor to the firs-
men. The procession with its stirring
music frOm 24 brass bands and as many
drum corps,the rl-ining steamers and hose
carriages, the stately hook and ladder
trucks, and the variegated uniforms of the
firemen presented a spectacle that excited
the kecncst adrr‘ration from the specta-
tors who lincd the sidewalks or gazed on
the prrade from piazzas, windows and
house tops. The procession was over an
hour passing a given point, and it was 4
p. in. before the right of the line reached
Highland Park, where a collation was
served to the tired and dusty firemen srd
musicians, under several tenti. It was a
great day for Bridgeport, a great day for
the fire-companies participating, a great
day for the thousands‘of visitors, a great
day for the railroads centering in Bridge-
t.
p0Pioneer Hook and Ladder company and
Hope Boss company. the latter having
the drum corps of the Lockwood Rifles,
left Norwalk st 7 a. m., but on reaching
the South Norwalk depot they were una-
ble to start for Bridgeport until 9 o’clock,
and in the meantime they had a parade
with Putnam Hose which had the Citizens
band of Bethel. After getting started
for Bridgeport the special train was
shunted on a siding at Westport to allow
er tedious delay of an hour. Bridgeport
was finally reached at 11:30, and the
Norwalk boys were received by a delega-
tion of the Seamstrcss company, and cs-
corted to a vacant building near Park ave
nus where they were refreshed with sand-
wiches and a liquid of amber hue. In
the parade the three companies made an
appearance that was a credit to the town
and city they represented, and the Pie-
neers were particular] y noticeable in their
nest, new uniforms and repainted truck.
When it came to the matter of the coils-
tion the Norwalk companies found that
they were unfortunate in having been as.
signed to poaitions in the third div isiou,
for when this division reached Highland
Park, the tables presented anything but a
tempting sight. There were cdibles
enough left and to spare, but everything
was dirty, and no provision evidently had
been made for a change of cofiee cups,
plates, etc. Nearly all the companies
comprising the third division went else-
where for refreshments. This was the
only incident during the dry that marred
the pleasure of the firemen from Norwalk.
In other respects they had a right good
time, and will cherish bright memories of
their participation in the big parade. The
Pioneer and Hope boys did not arrive
home on the return trip until about mid-
night, and many stayed over to join in
the evening festivities, there being three
halls besides other modes of agreeably
passing the time.

The New Haven Veteran firemen added
much to the interest of the parade.

in butternut colored coats reaching nearly
to the feet.
Editor Bailey wouldn't acknowledge
that the crowd outnumbered that at the
Danbury fair.

rods in the procession, divided attention
with the firemen.
After the onslaught by the first division
the collation tables looked as if a cyclone
had swept over them.
Jones of the Weatporter was the Sor-
geant Bates of the parade. and he carried
the flag over the entire line of march.
Beans were plenty at the collation and

How Watch Cases are Made.
It is a fact not generally known that the
James Boss’ Gold Walt-It 0am really con-
tain more pure gold than many “solid ”
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases—
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4% to 10 karats,
and a' 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12
or 14 karate. it is new economy to buy a
watch case so poor inqtraiity that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soil that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It 18 economy to buy‘nJames Boss’ Gold
Watch Clue, in which 89x15 of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an expert'-
mcnt—it has been made nearly thirty years.
Haunts-ox. PA. Oct. It. in
I sold two James Boss' Gold Watch Cases thirty
years ago, when they first came out, and they are in
good condition yet. Ono of them is carried by a
carpenter, Mr. L. W. Drake, of Balaton, and only
shows the wear in one or, two places; the other by
Mr. Bowman. of Cunning-ham. Pa; and I can pro-
thsaacssea at any time.

now LerzurrOElt CHEESE IS MADE.
The milk is delivered at the factory and
strained into vats, us for other cheese. It
is then raised to a temperature of 90°
Fahrenheit, when enough rennet is added to
coagulate the music in about thirty minutes.
The curd is then cut crosswise and length-
wise of the val. with a gang of steel'curd-
knives. Soon after it is turned with fin
shovels frequently for an hour, when it is
left for the whey to settle. If the curd is of
‘tlre proper consistency about two-thirds of
the whey is removed. Tire curd is now
randy for tho moulds, into which it is dipped,
the whey remaining escaping through the
perforated sides of the moulds. After the
card has hardened to a proper degree it IS
placed upon a table slightly inclined and
the whey drains all, care being taken that
the cheese retains the form of the moulds.
Then they are turned several times, and
linully are ready to receive the salt, which
is rubbed in by hand morning and evening
for four days, thus gradually hardening
until they can be taken to the curing room,
where the bricks of cheese are set on edge
close together. After being properly cured
they are then packed for murket. But
prices for this cheese are also fluctuat-
ing, and the dealer frequently needs to
store his cheese in a room of uniform
temperature to preserve it fresh and prevent '
it from becoming ever ripe. For this pur-
pose large and deep vaults and cellars are
built where the air is neither too but not
too cold—mid the choose will keep well
summer or winter. It is made with less ex-
pense than American cheese, its price is less
fluctuating, and hence the milk of our dairy
men is bought largely by dealers and made
up by their employees. Proprietors pay,
we are informed, eight cents per gallon for
mill: to be made into Limburger, or the
price of milk will be regulated by the price
received for American cheese at the factory.

llEI’OIITERS AND THEIR
Since John Swiutou made those astonish-
ingstuternentsto the Education and Labor
Committee about the pay of newspaper men
Ilmvc made several inquiries in Printing
House square as to $5, 000 reporter's, 825. 000
correspondents and $500,000 editors, but
they don't seem to be known in first quarter
at all, writes a correspondent to the Hurt--
ford Times. Tire general impression there
is that they exist only in Mr. Swinton’s im-
agination. To the best of my information
and belief they never did exist in Printing
House square, though that's where nine.
tenths of the newspaper men are to be
found. Should Mr. Swinton’s remarkable
statements cause a. rush of young men from
the various country cross-roads to New
York, with nview to become millionunires by
newspaper work, I fear the young men will
be sadly disappointed. They will find that
$35,000 reporters, $25,000 correspondents
and $500,000 editors are not in demand.
They will discover on the contrary, that the
realities of Printing House square are very
dim-rent from the picturesque idenlities
sketched by Mr. Swinton. One of the first
things they will find out is that reporters
who make $35 a week instead of $5,000 a
your think they are doing pretty well. A
few may be discovered who make $50
in $75n week at times (not all the year
round, though), at special work, but these
are not one in fifty. A reporter who earns
$30 a week the year through may count
imnst-lf a. lucky fellow. As to corres-
pomlnrls, I Sliftll say nothing.

COLOR 0F CANARIES.
The entire canary family is divided into
two color-classes, yellow and buff, which
are synonymous with the terms jonqne and
“1me ; but inasmuch as these terms do not
l-xpress the real color they must be re-
n'_::!‘th(l as purely technical. For example,
we Speak of a yellow-green or o buff-green,
a yellow-cinnamon or n buff-cinnamon,
when it is patent neither of these colors can
be yellow or ball in reality, and the words,
therefore, taken in their general application,
are technicalities. The explanation issimplc.
\Vllltit‘fi'é‘l‘ be the body—color of a canary,
‘.\"r-.(‘.lll€‘1‘ it be literally yellow or green or
rinnurrlou, or whether it be in a lizard, or
- run it. dark selfleolored canary hybrid, it
has two forms in which it manifests itself.
One is bright and, for want of abetter word,
\\ 0 will say luminous, polished and glittering;
the other dull and flat, and is by com-
purlsoll what frosted silver or dead gold is to
the burnished metal. The first is the yellow
torn! and the other the buff; and one or the
nth-er presents itself in every canary or
mumry hybrid. In speaking of the Norwich
i':lllil.l'y the terms jonque and menly are
gonomilyndopted, and are both expressive
of :he general character indicated. The
.l'ul'll jonque is originally pure French, and
may be taken to signify jonqnil colored,
which speaks for itself. Mcaly requires no
monument.

AN IDOL LEGEND.
A certain tribe in Africa worship what
ll 03' call the Sacred Hen. You see, u long
time. :lgf) a certain Dorcnss Society sent a.
lid of clothes and cdibles to the heathen,
z-nd among the latter was a spring chicken.
‘lxo Savages found it impossible to cut or

Eli-cf tierlucord on it and used it for n
Mugshot. In the first battle in which he
im-il it he killed u neighboring king and

of :2 .llzmcotic, and all the tribe fell down
More it and worshipped. And they are

THE BRIDGE 0F SIGIIS.
A correspondent describing a £111.ng in
Venice says: “At every few yards a water-
way ruus into the main artery, and you have
to mount the steps to the arched bridge. On
one of these bridges there is an excellent
view of the Bridge of Sighs, rising above
the some canal. Then by a few steps, and
you are standing by the beautiful columns
which support the famous lieu of St. Mark
and St. Theodore on u crocodileatho first
being the tutelfiry saint of the city, and
patron, the other of the ancient ‘Repnblio.’
This spot was in olden time the place of
execution, and as we stop across it now the
vision of u. scaffold, an assembled crowd and
munuclcd human creature comes up between
us and sights of St. Mark's square beyond,
the most interesting of cities, whose ‘history
is a romance and existence a dream.’ Hun-
dreds and hundreds of pigeons crowd the
stone pavement, and little children and their
nurses are feeding them. These pigeons
come every day to be fed, and tradition has
it that they are the descendants of a flock
Admiral Dundolo used in beseiging the
island of Candis. They brought him in-
telligenca which greatly aided him in the
capture, and he afterwards sent them to
Venice, where they have ever since been,
carefully tended. When the music is play.
ing they keep up a regular dance in the air,
and seem to delight in the sweet sounds."
Several Belgian firms are now making '
whatis known as satin paper. There is
little doubt that the prom consists in
coatingordinsry paper with a glue solution '
and then shaking colored asbestos over the 5
mass. The asbestos takes all colors readily. in:
This is thought to be especially valuable for.
wall paper-ammo sill: imitation has a very
richeffect.
