Tarqasbes and Their Vain. Turquoises arc found in Thibet, China and the neighborhood of Mt. Sinai, bat the supply for jewelers' purposes comes almost wholly from the celebrated Persian mines. Very little was known about these till a remarkably interesting and exhaustive report upon them was recently furnished to the British Foreign office by Mr. A.
Hontum Schindler, who -was for a short time director of the mines. They are situated in a range of mountains boundine on the north an open plain in
the Bar-i-Maden district, thirty-two miles northwest of Nishapnr, in the Province of Khorassan. Botanists tell ns that the brightest bine is seen on Alpine flowers. If pure mountain air eould be snimosed to brighten the
color of a gem as well as a flower, there is no want of it where these turquoise veins occur. Their position is between 5,000 and 6,000 feet above the level of the sea, and a strong north wind blows almost continually over the ridges of the hills, rendering the situation very healthy. Wheat, barley, and mulberry trees grow well on the slopes at the lower of these heights. At the mines the turquoises are roughly divided into three classes of first, second and third qualities. All the stones of good and fast color and favorable shape belong to the first class. But how curiously these vary in value will be best understood by quoting Mr. Schindler'3 own words: "It is impossible to fix any price or classify them according to different qualities. I have not yet seen two stones alike. A stone two-thirds of an inch in length, two-
fifths of an inch in width, and about
naif an inch in thickness,, cut peikani (oonicall shape, was valued at Meshed at 300, another, of about the sar
size, shape and cut, was valued at or i y
. Xurqnowea of tne size oi a pea are sometimes sold for 8. The coloi most prized is the deep bine of the sky.
A small speck of light color, which only connoisseurs can distinguish, or an unamirecsable tinge of areen, decrease
the value considerably. Then there is that nndefinable property of a good
turqnois, the sal, something like the 'water' of a diamond or the luKter of a pearl; a fine colored turqnois without the sat is not worth much." He subsecinentlv adds: "The above mentioned
300 Meshed turqnois was bought from the finder by one of the Bish i-Satids
(elders of the village) for 3; the latter
sold it still uncut at Meshed for .so.
As soon as it was cnt its trne value be
came ammrent, and it was sent to Paris,
where it was valued at 600. The sec
ond purchaser, ho rever, received only 340 for it; the difference was gained by the agents. " .Among the fine turquoises in the possession of the Shah there bone valued at 2,000. The beat atones of the second class are
worth 90 per pound, while the most in
ferior will scarcely brine a twentieth part
of this price. The latter are chiefly used
in Persia for decoration of swords,
boTse-trappinnrs. pipe-heads, and the
common kind of jewelry. Small cut turqaoBteH of a slightly better quality
than the sell at the rate of from 'is. to 3s. per 1,000. In the third class are included Ktones unsalable in Persia, as well as large flat stones, some of which are esteemed for amulets, brooches, buckles, and the Kke. The prices given there will be more than doubled when the turquoises are sold in Europe. Chamber's Journal.

"May I have a new shawl, John?"
The speaker was a sweet-faced little wo
man, and as she made the request she
looked up timidly into her husband s face.
John Clark was a well-to-do fanner, but so close and grasping was he. that during all their married life, and they had been married five years, his wife had never had a dollar of the money that she had helped to earn, unless it was grudgingly doled out
to her after she had explained what she
wanted of every cent, and then many times it hod bean refused with the remark, "I
can't afford it!" John Clark prided him
self on being a just man, yet he treated his
hard-working wife as if he was afraid to trust her, forgetting entirely that her in
terests were identical with his own.
She had a red shawl which had long been getting shabby, and for some time she had been trying to muster courage to ask for a new one, finally succeeding with
the remark at the opening of our story,
John Clark raised his eyebrows in aston
ishment. "Why, Lettie Clark! you have
one shawl! what in the world do you want
with another?" "Yes, John, but it is getting unfit to wear to the village." "Tut! tut! it's plenty good enough to wear a whole year yet!" was his decided reply. Sadly she turned away, and said no more about it, until a few days later as she was about starting to a neighboring village, expecting to be absent two or three days. ."Is there anything we must have?" he inquired of his wife. "Please bring me a new shawl," she replied, trembling at her own audacity. "Thai mil do!" he cried. "I thought I
had settled that foolishness! I want no more of it. I can't afford it!" and with thase words, uttered in a harsh tone of
voice, and without one word of farewell,
he drove away.
Ah! could he have known of the hours
of anguish and remorse those words would
cause him, he would never have gone awav, leaving the truest friend he had on
earth standing in the doorway, with her eyes overflowins with- tears, for he had
never before spoken so unkindly to her,
He proceeded on his way, feeling more
and more uncomfortable. As the day
wore on he had time to reflect on his con
duct, for, with all his faults, he really loved his wife, but had almost allowed his creed for gold to crowd all else from his
mind; but now, all through the time of his
absence from home, the picture of the sad,
sweet face framed in by the doorway
haunted him.
"I declare!" he said to himself, more
than once, "if I hadn't said I wouldn't, I'd aether the shawl. However, TU give her
the money and tell her to get it herself.
Thus silencing his conscience, he started homeward. Arrived within sight of his house he was surprised at seeing several of
his neighbors gathered near the door. "Lettie must have company," he thought, but as he drew near them he noticed that
they appeared very sad, and returned his hearty greeting in subdued tones. A sus
picion of evil flashed throueh his mind.
"What is wrong, mends i" he asked. An old neighbor laid his hand on his
arm, when he had dismounted, while other kindly hands took the team and cared for them.
"We have sad news for ye, John! Bear
it like a man!"
"What where is Lettie?" he gasped. "In heaven, I believe," solemnly replied
the old man.
"Not dead?" cried John, while he leaned
for support against the house.
"Sit down, boy, and we'll tell ye all."
Like one blind ho groped his way to a
bench jnst outside the door, and listened like one dazed to the story. "It seems that your wife had occasion to go to the village a mile away, and she had to go down the lane past Dawson's pasture, an' ye know
that his Durham bull is quiet enough unless he sees something red, then he's ravin'
mad in a minit. Well, he must a seen
your wife's red shawl. Some children had left the top bars down, so he jumped over
an' chased your wife.
Here he was interrupted by a hollow
groan from his listener.
"An"," pursued his friend, I don t know how to tell ye, but ye know there's a hedge fence on each side of the lane an' there was no escape, an' wh n me an' son Joe come along the lane, we found the body beside the road, and the critter standing near. He wasn't a-goin' to let us pass, but Joe had his gun along, he was a-goin' to shoot a fox up in the woods, an' he's a good shot, J oe is, an' he jist dropped that critter with a bullet through his brain. We brought your wife home, we knew her by the red shawl, we could not have told her any other way."
Again John Clark groaned. After a few moments the neighbor said: "Will ye go in now?" Mechanically he arose and entered the pleasant sittingroom where he and Lettie had spent so many happy hours together. Ah! none but his Creator knew what he suffered as he bent over that still form, and the burden of his thought was, "I killed her; had I granted her request she would not have been wearing that red shawl, for she wanted a new brown one." Bitterly did he regret his selfishness when too late, and would gladly have given ... . , . v - J
every dollar ne possessed to see nia wu standing in the doorway to welcome him, as of yore. The days passed by and the funeral was over and he returned to his desolate home, bnt remorse gnawed at his heart-strings, and he avoided the house as much as possible, and decided to sell the farm and leave the locality. One day, after a hard day's work, he was

amazed. Outside the kitcken door, which
he bad closed, but which was now wide
open, ha sotdd hear a loundef ft broom
iug:
"I do declare!

That voice! His heart seemed to bound,
then to stand still, and when, a moment
Inter, a little woman cimio into view, uttering a glad cry wherl sho saw him, lie thought it is a vision!
Why, John," she fried, "where have
you been? Here I've been looking everywhere for you."
By that time rfie bad got her arms about
his neck, and he realized that she was flesh and blood his own Lettie!
The shock was too much for him, and he
fell forward in the firHt swoon of his life. His wife was alnrmed, but managed to catch him and support him to the ground,
and then set to work to revive him.
After a timo sho was successful, when
mutual explanations followed. John Clark listened ns one in a dream, while
his wife told him that on the very day of
his departure her brother had arrived in great haste, and wished her to accompany him to the bedside of their mother who was
dangerously ill. The distance was thirty miles, and she prepared to go, first writing a note for her husband telling of her whereabouts, which sho deposited in the clock, an sho had done ninny times before.
Sho had tried to darn a rent in hor shawl, and had then loft it on a chair near the open door, but when she went to put it on it was not to be found. Through tho window she saw "crazy Betsy," a poor demented woman who wandered about the
neighborhood, marching Irinmphnntly
down the lnne with the shawl which had attracted her fancy, flung over her shoulders. She must have abstracted it when Mrs.
Clark wns in the next room. There was no time to pursue her, for she wns fleet of
foot ns had been proved before, nnd Mrs.
Clark was obliged to go without her shawl. As they went in an opposite direction from that taken by Betsy, they knew noth-
mo of her terrible fate, for of course it was
she who wns killed and mistaken for Mrs
Clark, nnd buried as such. Her mother
had recovered and she had returned homo,
never doubting that her husband had found
the note.
John Clark asked his wife's forgiveness for his uukindnoss, which was freely
nranind. His repentance was sincere, and
he never relapsed into his former selfishness, and there is no happier home to-day
than theirs. Chicago Ledger.
EARLY HISTORY Of MINNESOTA.
The name Minnesota is an Indian
name, signifying "cloudy water." Min
nesota is the thirty-second State in the
TTnion. The first European who set
foot in Minnesota was Louis Hennepin,
who in 1680, in a company of French fur-traders, ascended the Mississippi to
the Falls of Si Anthony, to which
he gave their name. In 1763 this
region was ceded to Great Britian, and
in 1766 was explored by Capt. Jona
than Carver, a native of Connecticut.
In 1788 it was transferred to the United States, as part of the Northwestern
territory. In 1819 Fort Snelling was
established. A few years ago, as my
mother was going from Minneapolis to Mankato, she met a lady who was over 70 vears old, who said that her husband
was one of the first soldiers sent to the fort She, with four other ladies (wives
of the soldiers), visited their husbands that summer (1810), and tliey were five
weeks going from Prairie du Chien to the fort, on flat-boats. In 1823 the first steamboat visited Minnesota. Between this and 1830, a small colony of Swiss settled at Mendota, near St. Paul, In
1838 the Indian title to lands east of the Mississippi was extinguished. In 1843 a settlement was commenced at Stillwater; on March 3, 1849, Congress passed an act organizing the territory of Minnesota, its western boundary being the Missouri Biver. At this time the population was between four and five thousand, and it was duly organized on the 1st of June following. In 1851, immigration was commenced in earnest; and so rapid was the increase of population, that on February 26, 1859, Congress passed an enabling act for its admission as a State. The provisions of the act were complied with, a constitution (under which the State is still governed) was passed and sub
mitted to the people, and members of
Congress elected the following Octo
ber: and on Mav 11, 1858, Minnesota
was formally admitted to the Union.

The United States is said to lead all
civilized countries in centenarian lon
gevity .while Connecticut is ahead among
the States. As to sex, women; as to
occupation, soldiers, sailors and farmers are longest lived. Among the pro
fessions, 100 ministers, thirty doctors,
and ten lawyers reached their centen

according to Prof Humphrey, of Cambridge, England, must be an inherent quality of endurance, a something
which is inborn and perhaps inherited.
It is noticeable that the phthisical taint
does not necessarily lesson the capacity
for longevity. Among 500 aged per
sons, phthisis appeared in fathers,
mothers, brothers, or sisters of eighty
two, that is, in about 17 per cent. In one case both father and mother were
phthisical A second requisite for long
life is freedom from exposure to cas
nalities. It is on this ground, in part,
that more women than men reach ex
treme age. Other reasons, however,
are, perhaps, a greater natural vitality,
since even in early life the mortality is less among females than males. It does
not seem to be proved by the data col
lected that short and small men and women have any advantage over those
who are taller and larger. The average height of old Englishmen is five feet three inches. SAVTIVAL. Captain of a Damariscotta schooner (to green hand, who, upon being told in o-At aboard, makes off in the direc

THES AT. WANT SPECIAL IIATB3. Ono of the most annoying features of
hotel management has grown out of the
"spcoial-rato" custom followed at many hotels. There was a time when to give
hotel patron rates was a special favor,
but it soems to have grown so that some
hotels tho regular rate is the exception, or at least the hotel patron desires that it shall be tho exception. In former days special rates were given to tho newspaper men for favors past or yet
to come; to ministers of the gospel, laboring in the vineyard of the Lord; and to theatrical companies who coma in numbers and remained stated pe
riods, or until the Sheriff gave them per
mit to go. But the "special-rate lever has become epidemic- It has got so that nearly every man who patronizes a
hotel wants a special rate if ho stays tor
more than one meal. Of course many hotels, which have as much business as
they can care for, are independent, ana
the p.ea for special rates are in vain ; but the hotel bidaing for patronage, with many vacant rooms and idle servants, is mode to "come to terms."
The preacher continues to live at the hotels and riuo on the cars at half rat o; the jnrn-stonniiig theatrical "combination" continues to demand "tho earth"
for tl per day; tho railroad man gets rates wherever ho writes "B. B." after his name; and the farmer, in the $2 per day country hotels, continues to got a "square meal" for two bits. But to this list of "special raters" have in the past vcar or two been added many
more. Tho commercial traveler, who lias become convinced that he is the maii stay of the hotel business, insists that he must have special rates; the busiaess man who has to patronize hotels occasionally says, as he "conies quite often" he ought to have a special rate; and even the tourist, who once paid his bills uncomplainingly, now thinks a special rate would fit him most becomingly. And then there is a large army of hotel patrons who are "recommended" to the hotels. Here conws Mr. Brown with a letter from Mr. Jones, which reads as follows: "Dear Mr. Smith, Catohemall Hotel, Chicago: This will introduce my friend Mr. Brown, whom I send to your excellent hotel. Please do the best you can for aim, and oblige, Yours truly, John Jonjs." Mr. Brown doesn't demand special rates, but if there are any favors
lying around loose, Mr. B. is ready to gather them. If this struggle for special rates keeps on there will be only one course open to some hotel proprietors: they
will have to raise their rates
and then give everybody a "special
rate." The hotel man can then, offer the same inducements that was offered by the precocious schoolboy of our re
membrance, who dealt heavily in broken slats-pencils, popguns, and marbles. The popgun, piece of slate-pencils, whatever the "bargain" consisted of, was always worth so a. ..ch, but the invariable inducement to buy or make a trni.e. was. "Seeincr it's you, I'll let
you have it for less." "Our rates at this hotel are invariably $3 per day, but seeing it's you, Mr. Spccialrate, we'll make you a rate at 2.50." Hotel
World,
Value of Cream as Food. ; Few seem to appreciate tho value of cream as an article of human diet, most jieoplo preferring to use milk fat in the form of butter. Though good and properly-made butter may fairly bo conoedetl to be the best and most wholesome solid fat in use, it is quite inferior to oream in respect to both economy and health. The superiority of cream over butter or auy other solid fat consists, first, in its being not exactly in a liquid form, but in 8 condition .allowing of great mobility between its particles, permitting the gastric juice to mix with it in the most perfect manner, and with whatever else tho stomach contains, thereby facilitating digestion. Cream is also superior to butter and other fats from its being intimately incorporated with albuminous or flesh-forming matter in ft condition favorable for oasv and perfect digestion,
so that while it sorves the purpose of all unctuous matter in developing animal heat and force, it carries along with it nutriment in a most readily available form, a very important consideration in tho case of invalids. It is a fact in the functions of tho human stomach that neither fats alone nor albuminoids alone are digested by it fs well as when the two are mingled together in certain proportions. It does not seem to cope with any kind of grease alone, and pure albnminoids it duxests with (Treat diffi
culty. The flesh of lean animals, which is defective in fat, never digests as well as that of animals in bettor condition, in whose muscles fat is mingled. The palate instinctively recognizes the difference between fat and no fat in the flesh of the animals when used for food, always xreferruig that marbled with fat. A more perfect combination of fat and
flesh-iorminer food could hardly be
imagined than exists in oream, each fat globule of which it is composed being inclosed with an envelope of albuminous matter, and besides tlus, being sus
pended in a serum ot a similar character, making the incorporation of fat and nutriment matter as intimate as it is possible to make it. Important.

Of late years many valuable products have been got out of coal tar. Sir Lyon Playfair announced about a week ago in Liverpool that it has been discovered that a crvstal can be extracted
from it, an almost imperceptible amount
of which willfully sweeten a consuterftblo nuimtitv of solid or liquid food,
and that this new sweetener has the advantage aver sugar of passing so rapidly away from the digestive organs that it neither fattens those who take it
nor encourages rheumatism. irutn. A mill built and filled with ma

strikingly exemplified at a certain wo
men's prayer meeting. One of the sis
ters, who is very much interested in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, the Woman's Home Missionary
Sotiety, and the Woman's Educational and. Industrial Union, prayed fervently,
with a charming certainty that she
would be understood :
"O Lord, bless the W. 0. T. U., the
W. F. M. S., the W. H. M. S., and tne
W. E. and L U. !"
"When I hear stories of odd prayers,"
said a certain Colonel on hearing the one just told, "I always think of one I heard offered by an old darkey down
on Ship Island during the war. He prayed, 'O Lord, ranshack the woiT all ober on a white horse and gib us all chtuity like bounding brass and a simple tingle!'"
A distinguished Boston divine pre ached a few Sundays ago for a cousin who is pastor of a church forty miles
out in the country. His relative was somewhat flurried by the presence of the city minister, and in the opening prayer with which he prefaced the other's sermon he prayed: ' Help thy servant who is to speak to ns to-day. Without Thee help him for" He stopped, tried to collect hinself, and finished, "for, O Lord, he can't do much, any way !" The pastor of a south-end church called on a bereaved widow of his congregation and began consoling her with scriptural texts. Her husband had lor g been an invalid, and the minister's selections bore on the rest into which he had entered. "Yes," she sighed, "and there is one be lutiful verse in tho Psalms that applies to me that I think of so much : 'Othello's occupation is gone!'" BcsUm Ilecord.

WHERE THE HOG GOBS. According to the Hog, England leads all nations as a purchaser of our hog products, but Canada buys heavily of us. Cuba is an excellent customer, and other ports of the West Indies buy
all they can afford to. There is a small but promising trade with Mexico and Central America. Scotland is quite a large buyer in our provision
markets. Germany and France buy immense quantities of our lard, which they do not prohibit. All signs point
to a continued increase in this export movement. The total value of exports of hog products for the fiscal year of 1885 was $64,882,410. Bnt, notwithstanding an increased amount of exports, the value thertof shows a falling oil', as compared with the year previous, of $4,871,113, on actount of the low price of hog products which prevailed.
