“ Three yellow crooknecks and speck
of pearmains,"sdd Miss Bella Rainm-
apple, Smoothing down a stray wrinkle in
her jountilyfrufi'ed pink plaid apron, as
she handed up her Wicker-basket to the
broad-shouldered, brown young farmer,
who brought into Crabsbbro each mom-
iug the vii]age supplie’s of fresh fruit and
vegetables. I.
“Yes, Miss—all right," was the brisk
reply, as he executed the order with much
alacrity; “and better crooknecks you
never cooked, I'll bet a cabbage. I know
you’d be wanting crooknecks of a Satur-
day, and I picked out the three sweetest

but thinking you might want some, I
wouldn't let ’em go for love nor money. ”
Miss Balsamapple grew very rosy, and
smiled a sparkling little smile away back
in the shadow :of her provokingly-deep
sunbeamet; and the roses under its
crimped frill grew very p, indeed, as
'upou lifting her bukst own, she dis-

The young farmer looked guilty of

“I wanted toget-rid of ’em; there'a such

who had witnessed the proceeding from
the window, and was much scandalised
thereby.
“I am shocked at you, Bella," she re.
marked in a tone of personal injury, “for

“I could not help it," answered Bella.
“unless Ihad shied than ethisbaek;
and then they would only have fallen

“No killing matter if theydid,” mid
Miss Aurora; “audyon had better take

“I wont!” saidBella, flatly.

much excitement, with her bonnet-cape
floating wildly in the air like a pink ban-

“What do you reckon sis?" cried the
young lady. gleefully. _“He was there!

interrupted Miss Aurora, impressively
emphasizing, her words witha herring.
“to explain what under the sun you are

“Bella—Bells!" murmured Aurore,
“that the pride of the Balsamapplev

“Bother the pride of the Balsam-

“Who are the Balsamapples that they

“And, oh, what will Cousin Amssa
think when he comes to Crabsboro," con-
tinned Aurora, despairingly, “and finds
one of his relations losing her head about
a man who paddles crooknecks? These
rich old follows are always ultra-fastidi-
ous! It'll spoil all my chances.”
Aurora flung her herring into a corner
and burst into tears.
“Dear sakes! don’t cry. honey!”
said Bella, who was soft-hearwd, with all
her faults. “It won't matter a pm-
Cousin Amuse is too distant a relative to
build hope on, if we wanted to. He's
got lots of ldnsfolks nearer than we are
—nephews and nieces. and things we
never even heard of. Not likely he'd
leave us anything. anyway.” .
“Bella Balsamapplc, are you a dance ?”
asked Aurora, sharply. “Who expects a
forty-second cousin to leave us anything
ontllst account? Cousin Amasa hasn't
any wife; Now do you understand? "
f‘Oh," said Bella, with a little jump,
“that's the game, is it? But how do you
know you'll like .him, Re? You never
saw him." ' .
"I'm mighty certain to like his bank

the point just now. And I could help
you "to, .a,.good settlement, too, if you
wOnldn't encourage this——" .
"Iwillr’f cried Bella, before her sis-

not treat him mean for all the cousin
Aniasas that could be raked up, if they
were so rich they couldn’t walk straight. "
In evidence of the platform she had
chosen, Bella appeared on the following
week at the Crabsboro' church festival in
company with Mr. Robin Russet.
“Entirely against my wishes,” confided
Miss Aurora Balsamapplo, to her friend
Miss Cyrilla Dumps. “ I very much dis-
approve of Mr. Robin Russet, and I must
‘ say, I think he's a presuming, bad-mon-
nered creature] ” ~'
“What, ma'am-fwhat?” exolaimedn
fiery-looking .olcl gentlemnn, with tea
whiskers and snapping littlb black eyes,
who, being immediately behind the two
ladies, had overheard the remark.
“You're very free with your tongue,
, ma'mh—outrageouslyso. Do you know
Mr Robin Russet is my nephew,
ma'am?" . _ -
Miss Balsamapple scrutinized the pop-
pery interrogator with critical onlmnem.
“Sir.” she replied, “I did: not; know
whether the gentleman in question was
your nephew or not; and permit me to
add, I did'nt in the least care. Still fur-
ther allow me to remark that you have ‘no
manners whatever—that you are a ridicu-
lous old goose,‘a'n‘d your nephew proba~
bly resembles you! "
“Ma’am—wliat? ” began the old gen-
tleman, almost strangling in his fury. «
But Aurora swept awayin calm disdain,
and left him floundering in a storm of
wrath. .. .
“My dear,"suid Mrs. White, sailing
down on her as she passed that lady’s
stand, “ isn’t Bella the slyest little piece
ever born ? Here she is snugly engaged
to Rob Russet, and the rest of the girls
are going wild because they have just
discovered that ' he has got a terrifically
rich old uncle, who arrived the other day
‘ from some mysterious place. I met him
once. I'll introduce you if I can find
him—oh, here he is! Mr. Amasa Higé

Aurora took a booth-glance at him and
turned‘palc. ColisinAmasa and the pep-
pery old gentleman-were all one. He
appearedto have recovered his temper
and was chuckling quite jovially.
“I—I'm sure, Cousin Amuse," began
Aurora, with sweet womanly meekness,
“ you won’t mind what I said to you?
You know—J“ ’
."Not at all-v—not at all i" interrupted
the old gentleman, .with a chuckle. “ It’s
all right, cousin. ” '
“And you know I wouldn't have said
a word against Mr. Russet if I .had

“Of course not—of, courp..:not 1 ”

she could only have smashed it on

EARTH TBEMORS.
Earth tremors produced by artificial
disturbances, such as the passing of car-
riages or trains, the movements of ma-
chinery or bodies of people, are at our
disposal for daily observation. At Green-
wich Observatory the tremulous motion
in the soil, especially noticeable on- bank
holidays and at all times when Greenwich
Park was unusually crowded, resulted in
the construction of an apparatus in which
the dish of mercury used in the determi-
nation of the collimation error of the
transit circle was suspended by flaccid
springs. By means of this coutrivauce.
thetremulous motions of the ground were
absorbed before they reached the mer-
cury, and the‘ difilculty of observation
was overcome. French engineers, work-
ing with delicate instruments in crowded
cities, have similarly been compelled to
suspend a portion of their apparatus, so
that a steady image could be obtained.
Prof. H. M. Paul, seeking for a site for
the Naval Observatory at Washington,
found that tho image of a star reflected
from a tray of mercury was disturbed by
a train pacing at the distance Of a mile.
Licut. -Col. Palmer, when engaged in Oh—
serving the transit of Venus in New
Zedand, discovered that a ditch a few
feet in depth was sufiicieut to intrench
his instruments against the disturbance
created by trains passing at a distance of
700 yards. Capt. Denman found the
efl'ect ofa goods train to be transmitted
1,100 feet over marshy ground, but verti-
cally above the train, passing through it
tunnel in sandstone, the disturbance éx-
tended only 100 feet. One result obtained
from these and numerous other observa-
tions upon artificially produced tremors
indicates that these disturbances are
superficial, and although they may creep
up the surface of a gently sloping hill,
their spread is checked by a. steep cut-
ting. '

”m TROUT-FISHING nun.
The trout liar is the gem of all fishers.
Heistbe saddle-rock liar ; a moose among
the antelopes; Hyperion to u satyr ; he
is the long-tailedicomet among thenqu'iet
twinklcrb. *5 " All man cannot be troutliars.
The trout liar must be born,with a pecu-
liar fitness for the task, and then he must
be educated to it and devote himself to
treat lies as a life-dink. When David
said in his haste “ All men are liars, "
Saul and Abindab, Doeg and Edmonite,
had probably just returned, from a trout-
iishing down along the brook in the Val-
ley of E1311, and were telling what they
had seen and what they had. done, and
David, as he listened to them murdering
the unarmed ‘tf'iltll, naturully ,supposed
there was no indie truthleft'in the‘llearts
of men in all the wide world. The trout
liar exceeds all other liars, because the
manwho has done any amount of trout
fishing is, to a certain extent, a travelled
man. It is his custom to sit on the ve-
randa and tell his stories, crushing all
competition and putting his feet on the
neck of all striped bass and land-locked
salmon liars. If it happens that just as
he has told his master-piece the opposi-
tion trout liar comes in with a right bow-
er, a genuine royal flush of n trout lie,
thefirstliar is hurt to the heart; heir
dejeobd and sorrowful, and says not an-
other word that night. But he draws
new inspiration from defeat, and the very
next place he goes to he appropriates the
lie that paralyzed him, and, unblushing-
ly blaimingit as his own, defiantly crushes
down all pitiful competition with a crown-
ing lie that only two days before crushed
him. There are several kinds of trout
liars. The liar of weights, who never
catchesmore than half a dozen front a
day, butthey can weigh bnywliere from
eight to tenpounds. Then there is the
liar of numbers, who always catches so
many dozens in an hour and twenty-eight
minutes. And there is the liar of places
who lmows hidden pools, dark and still,
in the secret places Of the rocks, that are
just boiling over with trout, undhe takes
you, under many oaths of secrecy, and
by stealthy and circuitous routes to.these
places, and you fish in them for eight
mortal hours without a nibble. But you
can never corneratroutliar. Arithmetic,
facts, science, probabilities, precedent,
general principles and the eternal fitness
of things may combine in overwhelming
array to prove him the awfulest liar in-
England or America ; it doom't disturb
him. He lies on, calmly, confidently, .
enthusiastically, always locating thescene
ofhislies sofar away heis pretty certain
you will ne‘er go there. There are lim—
its to hum belief. You may ,believe
what the candidate says on the stump;
you may believe what a man tells you in
a horse trade ; you may believe the army
liar, and you may believe the snake liar,
but when a man takes his cigar from his
lips, and with a simple prefix of pMeand
date, stone in on a trout story, bar and
bolt and lock and double look the gates
of your belief when he gets to the mace.
Don’t believe one solitary trout, though
it weighs less than a pound. Under'tlle
shadow of the trout, truth dies ; and the
man who fishes four days nndhooks only
one lone trout, so small that he loses it in
his empty basket, comes home the big-
gest liar of them all.
A rinms'ro‘nrc RESERVOIR.
“ I’ve seen a good many curious things
in my travels, ” said acommercial traveler,
“ but the Walled Lake of Iowa rather lays
over everythingIever saw. Just imagine
a body of water, covering nearly 3,000
acres, with a wall built up all around it,
not a stone of which can be less than 100
pounds in weight, and some as heavy as
three tons, and yet there is not a. single
stone to be" found, within ten miles of the
lake. The wall is ten feet‘ high, about
fifteen feet at the bottom, and maybe five
on top. The country is prairie land for
miles around, except a belt of heavy tim-
ber that encircles the lake. This timber
is oak, and it is plain that the trees were
planted there. They are very large. The
belt is probably half . a mile wide. The
water in the lake is probably twenty-five
feet deep, as cold nsice and as clear as
crystal “ What I would like toknow, is,
who built that wall? And how did they
hold the water back while they were
building it? And how did they cart those
immense stones for ten miles? Ifever you
go to Iowa, don’t fail to visit the Walled
Lake. You’ll find it in Wright county,

THE 1.0mm STRAND.
At anytime the humors of the Strand
about 11 o‘clock at night are well worthy
of study, though the observer must needs
be serenelyjndifi‘erent to his money, and
of course his life. He must be careless of
his watch, affect a. supreme disregard for
the regiment of touts and bereudy to em-
brace a horse as if he were living with the
Houyhlihnms. For excitement dollar 0
of Osman’s Arabs is nothing to it. re
investment of a shilling may further pro-
cure him much plemure. He may buy a
printed phobsmph of any of the reigning
beauties for "a penny; find a wife for an-
other, a choicely pointed match-box or a
gay buttonhole on the same terms. But
there is no end to the prospect. These
attractions were enhanced recently, when
news gentlemen anxious to earn an
honest copper were crying out, “ Resig-

A. CALIFORNIA WELL.
Cutlar Salmon, Of French Camp, not
far from Stockton, Cal, sunk a well with
:l seven-inch tube to a depth of about 840
feet, nnd'struck a copious stream of ex-
cellent water. Desiring to learn whbther
lie could increase the flow by going
deeper, and fearing that, should be con-
tinue the well the same size, he might
injure the quality of the upper strata of
water, Mr. Salmon hit on theplan of sink-
ing a four-inch tube inside the seven-inch
. me, and thus making what might be called
the experimental well four inches in diam -
otor. This inner one he bored to adoptlr
of 1,250 feet, and then came to water
again. The lower stream came to the
surface, and, indeed, rose in a tube twen-
lag-two feet above the ground. The last
water found was unfit for drinking; and
but for an accidental discovery of its
wonderful properties might have been
considered a nuisance. 'It was found that
there was it large amount of gas in this
water from the lower depth. This came
bubbling to the surface, making onetliink
of n. gigantic soda fountain. Some one
suggested the idea of seeing if the gas
would burn. A coal-oil can was put over
the top of the tubing, and, having a few
holes punched in it, an improvised gas
fixture was at hand. Only a match was
required to complete the preparations.
The match was lighted and applied to a
hole in the can, and flames shot up three
or four feet into the air and burned stead-
ily. The gas would burn. Mr. Salmon
had fire and water coming out of the
some hole in the ground. The tube of '
the outer well, that which was " only 840
feet deep and furnished the good water,
was tapped, and sufficient water for all
domestic uses and for the stock, etc, was
led off in pipes to the house and other 10-
calities. A curbing was built around the
twin wells in such a way that it formed a
reservoir for the water from the 1,250-foot
level, and that portion from above which
was not conveyed away in the pipes. All
through this water in the reservoir came
bubbling up the gas, generated somehow,
somewhere down below. When Mr. Sal-
‘mon' next wentto Stockton he had a gas
ometor made with a. stopocock in the top,
and this he took home and fastened over
his wells. The bottom was ben eatli the
surface of the water in the reservoir, and
the gas speedily filled the boll-shaped re-
ceiver. The next thing, was to attach a
gas pipe, and connect his'home-made gas
machine with the house. He put a pipe
perforated with small holes across his
large open fireplace, turned on the gas,
applied a ms and the problem of cheap
fuel was instan y solved. After that gas
pipe was put into the fire box of the
kitchen stove, and now the meals are pre-
pared with the new fuel. Mr. Salmon a
has also used this gas for illuminating,
but it does not seem to entirely 'fill the
bill, although it is a great improvement
on a tsllow dip. It has been suggested
that, as this gas seems to be almost pure"
' hydrogen, it might be carburetted and its
illuminating quality improved. The gas .
throws ofi‘ a great amount of heat, and, 1
without doubt, such a well would supply
a large number of families with the means
of warming their houses and preparing
their food.

A PECULIAB TREASURE BOX.
A correspondent writing to a Paris
paper from Cochin-China, reveals a. curi-
ous custom which is stated to be still in
use in the kingdom of Anam. When the
Auamite consul was expelled from Saigon
last J une, he was obliged to dispose hastily
of his furniture, his carriages and his be-
longings generally. Included in these
were fifteen living crocodiles; whiilll
sorely embarrassed him, for he could
find no purchaser for them. He had
bought them for the Emperor Til-Duo,
who not only had a partiality but a use
for these amphibious animals. In his
palace, it is narrated, thereisnlnrge piece
V of water, which may be best described as
the royal strong-box. Here the sover-
eign keeps his reserve treasure, which is
to be touched only in case of absolute
necessity. Trunks of trees hollowed out,
and the money not intended for inane
diato use is placed in them, the trees
being thrown into the water. To keep
away thieves, and prevent the king liiul-
Sclf from being tempted to draw upon
this reserve fund without sufficient cause,
a number of crocodiles are kept in the
water, their presence, and the certainty
of being eaten alive, acting as a whole-
some restrainer, and insuring the security
of the royal trees in a most efi'eotual
manner. When'i mes indispensable
to draw upon this novel sprt of bank, the

be done only with the emperor’s permis-

RATHER CURIOUS.
A writer in Nature on the subject of un-
conscious bias in walking, shows that it
'may in some cases be very marked. He
says: “ I began with walking myself,
and getting various friends to walk, with
eyes shut, in a. grass field. We all walked
with amazing crookedness in paths which
wvere not far removed from circles. I
myself and Mr. Galton on the first trial
described circles of not more than fifty
yards in diameter, although we thought
we were going straight, and afterward I
was generally unable to impose a saffl~
ciently strong conscious bias in .one di-
roction to aunul the unconscious bias in
the other. I believe we all diverged to
the right, excepting one of us, who was
strongly left-handed.” A similar. trial
was made with eight school-boys, when
it was found that left-legged boys di-
verged to the right and right-legged boys
to the left. The step of origin-handed
person islonger from left to righttban
writer believes that nine out of ten

hand is alrnost necemarily accompmw
by an elicit with the left leg-and a right-
handed man is almost compelled to use
his left leg more than the other.

These little finny creatures are caught
in note, and after being well washed the
heads are out 011‘, and the fish are
, sprinkled lightly with salt. After lying
for a few hours, they are placed on girds,
in rows almost perpendicular. The
frames are then placed in pans containing
burning olive oil. The oil isobanged as
soon usit becomes too black and dirty
for continuing the cooking process. As
soon as the fish are considered sufficiently
cooked they are withdrawn from thcpans
of oil, and girds are placed on the tables
covered with zinc, the surface of the
table inclining toward a groove in the
centre. The oilisthus carried to a ves-
sel prepared to;reiooi,ve.it. Around the
fables stand the women whose businm
it is to pack the fish closely and uni-
formly in boxes. The boxes being full,
the fish are covered with fresh oil, and
the lids are the‘n‘sold‘ered down. Thus
hermetically sealed they are placed in
iron baskets and immersed in boiling
water; Thesmaiisrboxesarethus boiled
for half an hour, and the larger ones
somewhatlongcr, in proportion to sins of
box. The fish are then ready for the
market, and being packed in cases, are
sent to the ends of the earth.

was a somewhat stormy scene when they

1‘ CITY OF MUD EU [5.
Guatemala is indeed a city of mud huts.
But such huts! The president's house
is made, of adobe like the others. When
the difference of climate, habits of life,
and resources of the country are allowed
for, this lens fine a city as any in the
State of New York. The possibilities of
dried mud are very great, and whilemost
of the houses here are built of mud, they
are substantial, comfortable, roomy and
convenient. Some of the finest are richly
furnished, often with great taste, and
show evidences in the drawing-rooms
that the ceramic and bric-n—brnc craze
has even affected Guatemala By the
way, the pronunciation of that word is
worth while noting. The G is practically
silent, the first syllable is equal to cool ; c
has the sound of a in race; the a has the
Italian soun'd, somewhat shortened. Now,
put this all together, and clip thetand
the la. little, and you can pronounce the
word like a native. The people are
called Guatemaltecos, a woman a Guat-
emalteca. The city is as orderly as any
in the United States. The police force
is very efiicient, being modelled after the
police of New York, under the most or-
perienced management. While the pop-
ulation is Sixty thousand, the arrests do
not average over twenty per diem, and
lSheise are mainly for minor misdemeanors.
Crimes involving violence are rare. One
feels quite safe upon the streets at night.
The climate is as nearly perfect as any
that can be conceived of ; there are no
great extremes. Hardly any change is
made in the weight of clothing from out
and of the year to another. The. city
being built on a small plateau which
slopes a little to the east, the drainage by
sewerage is perfect, and the sanitary ar-
rangements of the houses are also excel-
lent. The streets being all paved there
is no mud and they get a thorough clean-
ing during the rainy season, which in-
Sures freedom from zymotic diseases.
The earthquakes are so Slight tlmt one

PHOTOGRAPH IC LIKES £55125.
Photographic likenesses are no longer
considered the thing for the rich, the
great, or beautiful in England or in this
country. The Old-fashioned ivory-painted
miniature is now the rage, and if the
“counterfeit presentment” is not quite so
true to nature as those that the sun makes.
for us, it leaves the field open for artistic
flattery and idealizing. An English ari-
ist has lately come over here, hoping to
paint the belles and beauties of the new
world in miniature.
All contact leaves its mark. We are
taking into ourselves the world about us,
the society in which we move, the im-
press of every sympathetic contact with-
good or evil, and we shall carry than:
with us forever. We do not pass llll'uilgli
this world for naught; it folloum 1‘...- 1...
cause it has become a part of us.
