j A shy young;nwa went into a Broiid-way (New Yorik) jewelry store and lookedat gjmttemen's rings, -fingering them andasking questions about them, and yet1 appearing to take only a forced interest

( in them. The jeweler's clerk whisperedj to a bystand er. " By and by he will come{. around to the wedding or engagementj rings. Tha* is what he hits come after.4'j Sure enough, the young man presentlyj .pointed to a tray full of fiat goldbahdrings. "What are they forF he in¬quired. The clerk said "that they were

j merely fancy rings, worn by ladies andgentlemen, and that some folks boughtthem for wedding rings. The sly youngman tried two or three on his httle fin¬ger, and, finding one that would notquite go over his knuckle, he Said':" Give me thiB one* How much is it?"

j ' 1 It'3 $5," said the 'clerk, «'but if youwan't a wedding ring I would advise

j you not tö buy it. Every now and thenI we sell them to. people who insist uponi having. them, but as soon as they imdj out the fashion they come back and haveI them melted up and rolled up into this' old-fashioned round form. The Onlywedding ring is the round ring, plain.! and simple."

Gimme a round one, then; same sizeas this.".Hs got one and went away. The

clerk laughed and said to a Sun reporterthat he could tell wben a young manwanted, a wedding or engagement ringevery time, though some times they askto bo shown clocks, bracelets, or anythingrather than what they come for. Verymany come right to the point, thoughthey stammer and falter about it. quitepainfully. Others again ask frankly andboldly to see what they want. "There

j never has been a change in the fashion ofj.wedding rings," said the clerk; "theplain, round gold ring has always beenthe only correct thing. Men sometimeschoose other kinds, but women nevermake that mistake."

" Do women choose their own weddingrings?""Oh, very often. Frequently they

come in alone, fit a ring'to the rightfinger, and leave it for the prospectivebridegroom to pay for. Sometimes theypay for it and take it away, and of coursethe young man reimburses them. Quiteoften, too, the brides comes in with their

i mothers. Very serious and grave themothers are, and show neither timidity

j nor sentiment. They ask tor weddingf rings, they look them over, buy oat), and.go away. Irish and German girls oftenbring their lovers as well as their mothers.There is not a funnier sight in the worldthan to see a clumsy fellow hanging be¬hind and looking unutterably foolishwhile his sweetheart and her mother dis¬cuss the'purchase. They pay no atten¬tion to him until they come to the finalselection. Then ihey tell him how muchis to be paid, and he pays it and they allgo out.Many foreigners, particularly Germans,

exchange wedding rintrs. The bridepays for the groom's ring and vice versa.At the altar they exchange rings. Theycome in together to buy them."

A Fine Complexion.j To soften and whiten the skin there ienothing more beneficial than oattneal,taken internally and used externally. As

j 1 have no wish tO encroach upon thej housewife*« domain, I'll simply eive! directions for its external use. After awarm bath it may be used dry, or pourboiling water over a few teaspoonfuls ofit, and let it stand a few hours. On go¬ing to bed, wash the hands and face free¬ly in the starchy water, and dry withoutwiping. Bran and Indian-meal may beused instead, with nearly the same effect.For the full bath put the bran or oatmealinto small bags, otherwise the difficultyof removing the particles which adhereto the skin is considerable. .

Instead of the poultices of bread andasses' milk which the Roman ladiesfound so efficacious for softening andwhitening the face, we may use a mask jof quilted cotton or chamois skin, wet inoold distilled water. This will not be_ithe most" c~ömfortülöIe in the world, butno great excellence is ever attained svith-out labor and care. Many ladies whosecomplexions are the envy of all theirfriends, acknowledge that they owe itall to distilled water, which they usedfor their face and hands. Queen Victoria jis to be envied for one thing, if nothingelse, for she has the delightful comfortand luxury of having distilled water forall her baths.

Ladies with oily or greasy skins mayuse, sparingly, a few drops of camphor inthe bath. Borax andglycerine combinedare used with good effect by some people,while thoroughly disagreeing with others.Glycerine alone softens and heals, but intime will darken the skin and make itover-sensitive; the borax obviates this,and has a tendency to whiten. No toilettable is complete without a bottle of am¬monia. A few drops of this in the bathcleanses the skin and stimulates it won¬

derfully. It is especially valuable in re¬

moving the odor from those who perspirefreely.To remove tan and sun-burn, cold

cream, mutton tallow and lemon juicemay be used; for freckles apply thelatter, with a tiny camel's-hair brash.The country girl, deprived of many thingswhich her city cousin finds indispensable,discovers that she can remove tan fromher face with a wash made of green cu¬cumbers sliced into skim milk, or, failingin this, she makes a decoction of butter-mil'.: anl tansy.A well-known writer on feminine

I beauty recommends the use of finely-ground French charcoal for the com-

plexion. A teaspoonful of this, wellmixed with water or honey, should betaken for three successive nights, fol-lowed by a simple purgative, to removeit from the system. The aperient mustnot be omitted or the charcoal willremain in the system, a mass of festeriucpoison, with all the impurities it absorbs,None of these things will bring about

the desired result unless the foundationis first laid by proper food, exercise andbathing: above all things do not neglectthe bath. Cleanliness is one of the car¬dinal virtues, s'nd a woman fresh fromthe"bath feels a good deal like an angel..Dio Lew us a Monthly.

Fashion \otcs.

Brown in all shades is the fashionablecolor.

Brocaded stuffs are in demand for lone:cloaks, loug dolmans, and visites.

There is a great variety in the shapesand fabrics used for fichus and collars.

Large chenille scarfs make exceedinglybecoming wraps for the head and should¬ers.

Cut steel, jet. silver, gilt and jeweledbuckles adorn many dressy bonnets andhats.

Tapestry wools and checked cheviotsarc much worn by young ladies who likecolor.

Brides' and bridesmaids' dresses havesleeves that are drawn on over the kidgloves.

Silver and gold lace are much used fortrimmings, especially with fancy ma¬

terials.Ribbon half of ottoman lep and half

of velvet comes in a few dark, richrhades.

Velvet collars and cuffs worn with -a

plain wool house dress are an attractiveaddition.The satchel muff of plush or fur is

popular for misses in their teens and forschool girls.

English milliners are using rosettes ofnarrow velvet, with a humming bird setin the center.

Fine, long, elastic cashmere gloves are

taking the place of lined silk gloves forgeneral wear.

Ostrich tips in panaches are the favoritetrimmings for Henri II., Henri III., andGirondinhats.

Children's cloaks of dark velvet andwool are fashionably trimmed with lightgray lambskin.Lace of all kinds is very fashionable,

and, considering the great demand for it,it is inexpensive.

American silks gain in popularity everyseason. Their great merit is their «n-

during qualities." Skirts of dresses should be narrow

when there are many flounces or super-\n\^bsed draperies.

Plush, and velvet strings are more fash¬ionable for bonnets than those made ofottoman and satin.Some of the cloth muffs made to match

cloth suits have the .wearer's monogramembroidered in the center.

Cloaks for children have the long,high-shouldered cape, or the long-sleevecape, as in former seasons.An fiöglish äieeye pattern is gathered

both at the shoulder and at the wristjbut is cut in the coat shape.Brocades are not suitable for young

girls. Thev should wear evening dressesof soft surah, veiling, Or cloth;

Children's dresses are, still made very"Lttört, but with these oresseS very longwtiol hose are worn at this season.

Chenille fringes are very handsomewhen used- discreetly.that is to say,sparingly.on wraps and costumes.

Trains arc to be seen on the new im¬portations of dinner and evening dresse%and these trains are very full and löag\

All Bort« of fanciful figured pieces andheads in steelj gilt, silver, and othermetals ornament both hats and bonnets.

Girls in their teens wear the sailor hatof felt, with a broad ribbon tied aroundit with a bowj and floating ends in theback.

Collarettes of real lace are made in apoint in front, which is a short or a longpoint, according to the taste of thewearer.

For elderly women, mantles, some ofshot plash with raised black velvet leavesor flowers, trimmed with marabout,matching the color of the ground, arehandsome.Evening toilets for young girls are this

winter to be most invariably of white, incorded silk, small-partened brocadedsatin, veiling, and surah, to say nothingof the gauzes and tulles, in various pat¬terns and combinations of stripes anddots.

Birds at; the Lighthouses.The keeper of the lighthouse at Atlan¬

tic city supplies his table with all kindsof winged game at certain seasons of theyear without wasting as much as a pinchof shot or using a trap of any kind. Themost favorablb times for this cheari sup¬ply of game are when the biros are

migrating north in the spring and re-

!turning to southern Climes in the fall.They follow the Jersey coast all the wayUp or down in their flights. At.nightthey fly high, and when they sight Abse-com Inlet light, which is 167 feet abovethe ground, they, head directly for it.They seem to be attracted the same asmoths flicker around a candle flame. Ifthey are being carried along by a heavywind they are likely to dash againBt thebig plate-glass windows surrounding thelens, and the" little things drop to theground dead. The objectionable featureof the affair is that they spatter blood allover the glass, which is sometimes hardU> clean.To prevent them from striking the

glass, Major Wolf, the keeper, has con¬

structed a wire netting on the north andsouth sides. Not long ago a large blackduck, which was sailing along in a heavystorm, collided with the netting withsuch force as to cause a dent six inchessquare. He was a very dead duck whenhe reached the ground at the foot of thetower. When the weather is clear anynumber of small birds hover around thelight all night. After resting on the rail¬ing surrounding the light they fly offinto the darkness, but soon return again.Major Wolff says: "The little fellows Icatch with my hand. They do not moveaway when I approach near them. I al¬ways keep several large boxesmp here inwhich to store the feathered youngsters.A species commonly known as 'flycatchers,' peculiar to the coast, has beenvery abundant the past fall. Of these Icaptured about 500, beside thirty or fortythistle birds, five cuckoos, ducks, red¬headed woodpeckers, reed and rail birds,gulls and snipe. One large specimen ofthe latter lauded so violently against theiron netting that he plunged throughone-of the meshes and stripped himselfof~t.ll Li» feathers as far back as theshoulders. I also caught five scarlettangiers, natives of the West Indies.They are of a deep scarlet color. Pre¬vious to taking this color they are cov¬ered with feathers of an olive greenshade.".Philadelphia Record.

Our Big Neighbor.A great deal has been said of late about

our neighbor, the planet Jupiter, andwith good reason, for Jupiter has been ina condition of intense activity. His disk,seen through the telescope, is crossed bybelts of various forms and colors. Thecentral ones are the great equatorial belts,and are more permanent than the lesserones near the poles. The Talker saw

this planet a little while ago, through thelargest refracting telescope in the world.His disk was larger than that of the fullmoon. - His belts were of varied formsand colors, and were tinted with softgray, purple brown and delicate green.The picture was not only superbly beau¬tiful, but wonderfully impressive for theatmosphere of life and action that per¬vaded it. Jupiter is probably surroundedby a cloud atmosphere several thousandmiles in depth, beneath which glows theheated nucleus, giving out some lightand heat. The great red spot, the hugerifts in the clouds, the changing formand hues of the belts, bear witness tothe commotion that agitates his chaoticmass, the process of development thatin the course of millions of years willmake the giant planet a fit abode foranimate life. The Companion says trulythat we are probably watching the pro¬cess of world making on the surface ofour big brother. In his*vast bulk, 1,300times that of the earth, the cooling pro¬cess must be slow, for the law is, thelarger the mass of the planet, the longerit takes to cool. Long before it shallhave become cooled, it is probable thatmankind shall have ceased to exist onthis planet..Chrutian at Work.

A Marine Yarn.The San Francisco Noes-Letter says

that the Star of France, lying at Oak¬land, has a sensation probably uncqualedin marine accidents. It appears thatcoining through the topics the cook gotout on the martingale under the bow¬sprit to spear dolphins with a grains.Ho missed his footing while striking a

fish and was never seen again; but twohours afterward the first mate caught a

shark fourteen feet long, with a dolphinand the grains, one of the cook's legs,and a gold watch and chain in hisstomach. They recognized the cook'sleg because it was tattooed all over withanchors and girls and things. Then themate went fishing again with a largepiece of pork, and in two hours caughtanother shark with the rest of the cookin him.

The Qnaker Bonnet.Those persons who have supposed, and

not without reason, that the Quaker bon¬net was as unchangeable as the laws ofthe Medes and Persians, will be sur¬

prised to hear that an important modifi¬cation, which almost amounts to a revo¬

lution, has been quietly introduced andfirmly established. This reform bonnetis made of olive or nut-brown silk, "witha soft crown raised a little in the Nor-mandy style and plaited into the front,which is composed of narrow casings,with a tiny finish of pleats around theface. The strings are set up on the sides,so as to give the cottage bonnet effect,and there may or may not be a plainquilling of white on the inside, accord¬ing to the fancy of the wearer." *

Burning Bead Bodies.Cremation will receive a powerful

impetus from Portugal if the cable dis¬patches are correct. It is reported thatit has been decreed that in all themunicipalities the cemeteries shall beemptieu each five years and the bodiesbe publicly cremated. Why the law isto wait five years, which is quite enoughtime for contaminating the earth and thewater supply, instead of having thebodies cremated at once after death isnot clear. It may be a conciliation tothe sentiment of the people..SanitaryNeicg.

Dft Steffan, a well-known oculist ofFrankfort-on-the-Main, has recentlycalled attention to the injurious characterof many of the occupations of childrenin the kindergarten, such as sewing on

Norwegian Snow Skates.The Norwegian snow, skates must not

be confused with the Canadian, whichare much broader and used in a quitedifferent way. The Norwegian snowskates are mado entirely of wood; theirlength is about eight feet, and theirbreadth three inches to four inches, theforepart being a little pointed °.nd curvedupward. The under side is very smooth,sometimes with a little groove planedalong the middle. Some people usethem tightly fastened to the feet; othersonly put the forepart of" the footthrough a withy band fastened to theskate, which enables them to withdrawfrom it easily in case of a fall. The dif¬ferent parts of the country have theirown shape of snow skates, either a littlenarrower or broader, shorter or longer.Only by the necessity of using the snowskates one can explain the wonderful ex-

pertness at which the Norwegian peas¬ants arrive. In order to get to the topof a hill the skater tacks up the sides ofthe hill, like a ship against the wind,sliding on the surface of the snow, andnever lifting his feet from the ground,except when making a side turn, or

he goes straight up, lifting one footsideways over the other. A staff aboutfive feet long, grasped with both hands,is used by some people, either on the leftor right side. The hill chosen for exer-eise or matches is.often hundreds of feisthigh aud pretty steep, of course, accord-ing to the ability of the runner. Let usnow commence the descent. After a fewsteps the speed soon increases so muchthat you can hardly breathe, and'allyourthoughts must be concentrated on keep¬ing your balance. In the lower part ofthe hill the acceleration produces a speedwhich may sometimes be compared withthat of an express train. Should youfeel symptons of an approaching loss ofbalance, you must use your staff, whichwill partly retard the speed. But if youuse the staff too much, you arc called a" staff-rider," aud not considered as a

good runner; therefore, people avoid it asmuch as possible, and many never use itat all, even down the most difficult hills.There are often drops on the sides of thehill, either from following its natural out¬line, or caused by snow rifts. When therunner comes to one of these he .has tomake an aerial voyage, and the most dif¬ficult moment is when he comes to theground again, as it is a matter of chancowhether he will land on his feet or makea series of somersaults and be buried inthe snow.

A Valuable Bottle in the AtlanticTwo business men sat in the office of

the Brevoort house one evening last weekdiscussing matters pertaining to "the sea.

The conversation turning upon the possi¬bility of a sealed bottle thrown from a

vessel in mid-ocean ever being pickedup, one of them said:

"I will bet you a good dinner and a

gold watch that such a bottle, thrownfrom the steamship Bothnia on her nexttrip, will not be heard from within a

year.""I will take your offer," returned the

other with a smile, "and will certainlybe ready for your dinner when the timecomes."^.Henry K Collier, a dealer in watchesand diamonds, was appointed referee inthe matter. Under his direction a quartchampagne bottle was prepared in whichwere deposited letters of instruction writ-ten in English. German. French andSpanish, and also an order for a goldwatch. After the bottie had been dulycorked and sealed it was placed in thehands of Captain McKay of the Bothnia,who agreed to throw it overboard whenthe steamship had reached mid-ocean.As the Bothnia sa'led on Wednesday oflast week it is expected by the men whomade the wager that the champagne bot-tie is now bobbing about on the. watersof the Atlantic waiting to be picked upby some fortunate fisherman..Neu YorkTribune.

An American Institution.

These, says Peck'* Sun, arc the days ofthat glorious American institution, pump-kin pie. The hotel or restaurant pump-kin pie is not the simon pure article, ithas had too many foreign airs added toit. It may be good, and it may pass forwhat it was intended, but it can't hold a

candle to the pumpkin pie our mothersnnd grandmothers made. Just look atthe difference in the t\vo brands.Mother's had a nice short crust with an

edge about an inch deep, and in this wasa plump measure of pumpkin "pulp"mixed with nice fresh eggs, milk, andjust enough spice to give it flavor. Itwas a picture of a blooming, healthy pie.It makes a man's mouth water to thinkof it. The store kind of pumpkin piehas a sort of sickly second cousin counte¬nance, and is scarcely over an eighth ofan inch thick, with a crust on the bottomthat almost breaks a tinner's shears tocut it. As for taste, that has to be im¬agined, as it is a sort of go-as-you-pleaseflavor between tan-bark and cinnamon.There should be some action taken bythe legislatures to prevent the degenera¬tion of this great American institution.the pumpkin pie. If this is not done,future generations will read in history ofa dish now so highly prized by patrioticcitizens and grieve to think that thebuilding of the pumpkin pie of their fore¬fathers ts a lost art.

portioa of this is Supplied by h'ei; food;especially if she isi fed. with wheat bran,which curltains a larger percentage ofphosphate of lime than any other sub¬stance usually given as food for cattle,exceeding even cotton seed in that ele¬ment, though* t as rich in nitrogen.

Why CaUIo KclisU Roots.The Natvmal\Liw Stock Journal says:

"Cattle and hogs will greedily eat sugar->eeta or other roots when on a full ra¬tion of corn. '£hey will relish the rootsbecause they hare a cooling and sedativeeffect upon ths stomach and bowels.Gprn is so full of carbon as to have a ten-dency_to xv-^.:e a feverish state of thesysternwESP»*^11 *00 largely. Rootshave the same effect upon the systemas succulent grass. English farmers useroots largely in the fattening ration, butthey also feed with them rape cake, lin¬seed cake, etc.v or other nitrogenousfood. Roots, likeI Indian corn, are toopoor in nitrogen as a single food forgrowing young plnimals or for fattening.Corn and roots ^gether would be muchhealthier than corn alone, but a betterfattening ration Would be oats and cornwith roots, or, bjetter still, corn, cotton¬seed meal or linseed meal and roots.With a small proportion of linseed meal,say three pounds, with nine pounds ofcorn meal.roots would not be so neces¬

sary for health, as the linseed meal,would keep the ..bowels in good order.Corn, bran and sugar beets or mangoldswould fatten hogs and keep themhealthy. Hogs especially are benefittedby the use of roots. They are usuallyfed on corn alone, which, we believe,often induces cholera and other diseases.The roots give them a bulky and coolingfood.just what they so much need.Bran is a bulky food, and, fed with, corn,is beneficial to hogs. Sugar beets, withgood clover hay, will grow young ani¬mals or fatten mature ones. The cloveris rich in nitrogen and the roots in car¬

bon, making a well balanced ration."

Care of Tools and Implements.One of the heaviest taxes to which far¬

mers are subjected is the purchase andrepairing of agricultural implements, andin many instances this tax is undoubt¬edly increased from carelessness in allow¬ing plows, harrows, and other imple¬ments to be exposed to the weather whennot in use.There are a few simple rules in regard

to the care of implements, which in mostcases can be easily observed. In the firstplace, every person having many imple¬ments should have a house of sufficientsize to accommodate all their work¬ing tools and implements, and itshould be a fixed requirement thatwhenever a tool is not in use it should beplaced in its appropriate position in thetool-house, and before being put away itshould be carefully examined, to seewhether it is broken or damaged hi anymanner, and, if so, it should be markedfor repair the first leisure moment. Notodl should be put away in a dirty con¬dition. A very few minutes will be re¬

quired to clean it, which will preventthe rusting of the iron, as well as dam¬age to the woodwork. All the polishedparts of an implement, äs theshare, mold-board and coulterof the plow, aud the blades ofaxes, mattock, spades, mowing-ma¬chines, etc., should be oiled to preventrusting; they will then be in readinessfor use at any moment. Every woodenpart of an implement should be paintedat least once a yea/, and even twice a

year for those that are much used in thefield. Rainy days can be appropriatedfor such work; a good mineral paint isthe best for these purposes. Paint notonly preserves the wood from decay, butfrom cracking, and consequent easybreakage. Economy, comfort and ap¬pearance, all demand care in the keep¬ing of machinery of any kind used infarming and field operations..PracticalFarmer.

Farm and Garden Note*.

Frequent changes of food for fowlsare indispensable to success.

Potash salts are most valuable if ap-

f)lied to grass lands which have previous-y been well drained.In whitewashing your hennery put

some kerosene oil into the mixture forthe benefit of the hen lice.Many costly fowl houses fail to Keep

healthy the inmates principally becauseof the absence of thorough ventilation.In fattening hogs, if they are fed in

open pens or in mm Idv ground, fully one-fourth of the corn may safely said to bewasted.A hen may be calculated to consume

one bushel of cort, annually, and to inthe same time lay[ ten dozen, or fifteenpounds of eggs. :

When you have giyen an animal a doseof sulphur be can ful to keep it warmafterward. Sulphur opens the pores andthey take cold easily.

It. is acknowledged by all who breedpoultry that meatan essential portionof their diet, especially if the fowls arc

confined in close quarters.Bones owe their ralue as a fertilizing

material to the phosphoric acid whichthey contain, and hi a less degree to thecombined trogencus matter found inthem.

California farmers raise sixty-two bush-1els of sunflower .^ed to the acre, andafter grinding a gv-lion of oil from eachbushel, feed the refuse to chickens andcows.

The value of gyj)sum as a fertilizer isbelieved to be parly due to its action infixing volatile aw: escaping carbonatesof ammonia and conveying them to theroots of plants.

It may seem extravagant to cut up andplant the largest, smoothest and nicestpotatoes raised, but a very few trials,taking one year with another, will soon

convince the grower that it is the mostprofitable thing to do.Milk is a constantly changing sub¬

stance, and from rhe moment it is drawnfrom the cow, except when temporarilyarrested by unnatural heat or cold, de¬composition is in progress. Cream hasthe same tendency, though not in somarked a degree.Hens having liberty to go around the

farm-yard, scratch at the manure-heaps,and run over the adjoining lands to pickup worms before sunrise, etc., will getmore than half their living, beside beingexceedingly healthy and laying manymore eggs than if confined to the poultry-yard.

It is said that plums, pigs and poultryflourish well, together. If plums are

planted in grounds occupied by pigs andchickens good crops nearly always result.The pigs continually disturbing the soil,and thus preventiagthe growth of weeds,hinder the curoulios from secretingthemselves at night.Those who, are cultivating raspberries

In this dilutionParis green seems to lose its danger tothe human family, as we can scarcelyimagine injurious results coming fromits use to the careful man."A farmer who has tested five different

A Splendid Structure.The new palace of justice at Brussels,

anc of the largest and most remarkableconstructions of modern times, was re¬

cently opened with becoming solemnity.The palace, placed in a commanding sit¬uation in the most elevated part of thetown, was commenced in I066. Thecelebrated architect, M. J. Poelaert, whomade the plans and directed the work,lias, unfortunately, not seen its comple¬tion. Since Iiis death, in 1879, the Avorksnave been directed by M. Wellens, engin¬eer in the service of the government. M.Poelaert did not adopt any determinedjtyle, but made use for his magnificentstructure of Greek, Romau, and even,especially as regards the outline, of Li¬lian models. The result is considered1 glorious one for his memory and forthe country, but it has only been ob¬tained at a cost of 45,000,000 francs!?4|00(),000). Very large sums willbe required for the transformationof the quarter surrounding thepalace so as to give it a frameworthy of it. The palace by itself cov¬

ers ;}(i,000 square meters. By addingthe squares and ascents and descentswhich had to be created, a total of (10,-500 square meters, which were necessaryfor construction, is arrived at. The cen¬

tral hall measures 300 Square meters,and is 85 meters high, while its roofopens into a gilt crown terminating in a

cupola at a height ofmeters, The palace contains besidetwenty-seven large and 245 smallerhalls for the different services,and eight court-yards. All the principalhalls are most richly decorated.The materials which have been employedin the construction and decoration are

the most durable which could be provi¬ded by money, after a most comprehen¬sive study of the matter. The buildingis. indeed, almost indestructible, and willtransmit the name of Poelaert to themost distant times. The outside heightup to the crown on the cupola is 118meters. From whichever side one now

approaches Brüssels this colossal build¬ing presents itself, dominating the townand surrounding country, ('rities, ofcourse, find fault with this and that, buton the success of the great enterprise as

a whole Belgium must, be congratulatedon..London Time*.

Hair Turkey and naif Chicken.Louis Bode, of St. Louis, has a feath¬

ered biped which is half turkey and halfchicken, which he found in a coop offowls sent in from the country. So far asits physical proportions arc concerned itmay be said to resemble the mermaid,which is also a half-and-half concern.

Those who have examined the chicken-turkey say that it has the head and breast¬bone of a turkey and the tail, legs andfeathers of a chicken. It walks like a

chicken, gobbles like a turkey, wears dom-inick chicken feathers and appears to beat home either amongjehickens or turkeys.

Thrown Againat a Cab.Some four months ago, while doing someshifting, I was thrown against the cab of my

engine and my back was eeverely injured. Uaffected my kidneys» and Iwas at the time insuch pain that I had to let my fireman takethe engine. I found after getting home thatmy water was affected from the strain andwas almost the color of blood. My -wife ad¬vised me to use Hunt's Remoiy, which, wehad used before for other troubles. I sentto BisselTs drug store for a bottle, and afterusing it a short time the pains in my backand kidne/s were fast disappeariagi Thesecond bottle cured me completely, and Ican most heartily recommend Hant's Rem¬edy to the many of my railroad companionsthat I find are troubled so much with kidneytroubles; Respectfully yours,

I have been troubled for a number of yearswith kidney and liver troubles, eevere painsin back, with loos of appetite and vigor gen¬erally. My kidneys were very weak at times,with non-retention of urine, and a brick dustdeposit I took several medicines, but theydid me only a temporary good. I was recom¬mended to use Hunt's Remedy, and I pur¬chased a bottle in Rome, N. Y.f and foundthat the first bottle gave me great relief. Ihad less pain in the back, my water becamemore natural, passed better and needed lessattention, and after using four (4) bottles Ifind that it has completely cured me of mykidney and liver trouble, and consider it awonderful medicine, and have recommendedit to many who have found that Hunt'sRemedy is all that ib claimed for it.
