Hrlgfatert Fort of My Trip. A New York fashion correspondent of * Southern paper gives out the following: A lady writes: “I have read your letters for a long time, and have often envied you tho opportunity you enjoy of oeetng the beautiful things you describe. I u»ed to think when I read of those charming drosses and parasols and hats at ord A Taylor’s, that theirs must be one of those stores where a timid, nervous woman like myself, having but a few dollars to spars for a season’s outtit, would be of so little account that she would receive little attention; but when you raid, in one of your letters a few months ago, that goods of the same quality were really cheaper there than ‘.elsewhere, because they sold more goods in their two stores than any other firm in New York, and that because they sold more they bought more, and consequently bought cheaper, I determined, If 1 ever went to New York, 1 would go to Lord A Taylor's. “That long-walted-for time came in the early autumn, and I found myself standing before that great entrance, with those wonderful windows at either side. I summoned my courage and entered, as I suppose tens of thousands of just such timid women as I have done before. My fears wore gone in an instant. The agreeable attention put me at my ease at onoe. and I felt as much at home as though I were in the little country store where my people have ‘traded* for nearly a quarter of a century. “And now, as I wear the pretty things .1 purchased, or see them every day and hud them all so satisfactory, I think of my visit to this great store as the brightest part of my trip to New York."

THE FOREIGN SERVICE. Duties of Our Representatives in Dourte Abroad. Many of tho most interesting appointments made by a now President are those In the diplomatic and consular service, says the Youth's Companion. Our ministers, consuls and consular agents in foreign cities are important to the nation’s welfare in three ways. They are to protect American citizens living or traveling abroad, and to attend to certain details in connection with merchandise which is to be Imported into this country. Second, they must study the’methods, soc al and industrial, of the localities to which they are sent, and report to the State Department such facts as may be usefully applied in our own institutions Their third-duty is sometimes the most important ot all: to stand as the representative of their government in the immediate presence of foreign states, and on all occasions to receive and otter the courtesies and attentions expected between governments. In European governments, this last duty of a foreign minister is the most important It is the ambasrador who lays the foundations for great international alliances. It is he who prepares treaties, and his personal actions may often bring on or avert war. It is perhaps the fact that the chief duties of an American and of a European foreign representative are different, which explains the wide difference between the American diplomatic and consular service and that of other great states. In the President’s appointments, the feeling has become general’ that, the foreign service is on the same plane with service of the government at home. Every President is expected to appoint men to foreign embassies or consulates on the same ground as he is asked to appoint others to Treasury clerkships and country postoffices. The candidate’s value as a political leader, and his services in a presidential campaign, often count for as much in the one case as in the other. That is not the European plan. Across the Atlantic the consular service is a profession by itself. Men enter it, as they would enter on the study of law or medicine, early in lite. In the British Foreign Office an applicant must serve in the department at London six months, before he can be sent on foreign duty. He must then pass a rigid examination; he must be able to speak French, must also understand the language of the country to which he is to be sent, and have a sufficient knowledge of mercantile and commercial law.

When he has passed successfully such an examination and has gone to his consulate, he is for two years “under probation," and will be dismissed if he is found incapable; but if he passes his probation time with a good record, only disgrace, death, or resignation will remove him from the service. Not only this, but he knows that search for real ability is so keen that genuine merit will surely be rewarded with promotion. In France the system is nearly the same. The candidate for consular office must understand two languages beside his own. He must pass a strict examidation in international law, diplomatic history, statistics, political economy, and geography. If he stands the test successfully he may count on sure promotion as a reward for industry and capacity, and may feel absolutely secure against capricious dismissal, or because some other man desires his place. The result of such systems is to give these governments a thoroughlycompetent, useful and creditable foreign service. Os our consular service the same thing cannot always be said. Our ministers to important states are almost invariably men of whom Americans can be justly proud, but there is often an American consul in a far-off commercial port who is quite unequal, commercially or socially, to his duties. Indeed, it could hardly be otherwise. He is chosen often merely because he has been a skillful political leader in the far West, or because he had been a faithful party Congressman and had failed of re-election. Then, too, it is highly probable that he succeeded in his office a man of the opposite party who was summarily dismissed, a fate which he also looks for when the other party returns to power. The abuse of such appointments are among the worst results of the “spoils system.’’ Violins. ’ The great violin makers all lived within the compass of one hundred and fifty years. They chostj their wood from a few great timbers felled in the south Tyrol, and floated in rafts, pine and maple, sycamore, pear, and ash. They examined these to find streaks and veins and freckles, valuable superficially when brought out by varnishing. They learned to tell tne dynasty of the pieces of wood by touching them; they weighed them, they struck them, and listened to judge how fast or how slow, or resonantly they would vibrate in answer to strings. Some portions of the wood must be porus and soft, some of close fibre. Just the right beam was hard to find; when found, it can be traced all through the violins of some great master, and after his death in those of his pupils The piece of wood was taken homo and seasoned, dried in the hot Brescia and Cremona sun. The house of Stradivarius, the great master of all, is described as having been as hot as an oven. The wood was there soaked through and through with the sun- i shines In this great heat the oils thinned and simmered slowly, and peneffated the tar into the wood, un- j til the varnish became part of the wood itself. The old violin makers Used to save every bit of the wood when they found what they liked, to mend and patch and inlay with it So vibrant and so resonant is the wood of good old violins that they murmur, and i echo, and sing in answer to any sound | where a number of them hang to- i gether on the wall, as it rehearsing • the old music that once they knew.

It was doubtlessly owing to th Is fact that when the people could not account for I’aganlni’s wonderful playing. they dechired that ho had a human soul imprisoned In his viol In, for his violin sang and whispered, even when all the strings were off. Htlll Bellev" ih Vampires. In a paper recently read before the New York Folk-lore society. Lee J. Vance narrates some curious facts, quoted by the New Orleans Picayune, showing the survival of the vampire superstition among the Hungarian miners In Pennsylvania. One of these miners at Antrim, who was suffering from consumntion, conceived the idea that his suffocation and shortne sos breath was caused by the ghost ot a former boss, who In life had tyrannized over him, sitting on bls breast and sucking his life blood. In’Hungary ghosts who thus pray on the living are exorcised by buring the hearts which beat in the bodies they inhabited before death. The proof that a body is that of a vampire is a heart still fresh and full of blood, when the rest of the corpse may be decayed. When a heart which is thus proved to be that of a vampire is burned the live person who has been the ghost’s victim recovers from the effects of the visitation. Believing all this implicity, the miner, aided by his brother, dug up the corpse ot the dead boss and cut out the heart. It was found to be fresh and full of blood, as they expected, and they accordingly burnea it, with full faith that good results would follow to the sufferer from consumption. The immediate result was the arrest of the disturbers of the dead. They were not prosecuted, however, allowances being made for their ignorance. In spite of the burn.ng of the boss’ heart the consumptive miner, although he professed at first to feel perfectly well, died not long afterward. A Failure. In times past many designs have been made with a view of producing a carriage which would maintain a great amount of speed with a small expenditure of energy. But it remained for an American to devise the most remarkable cycle on record. The contrivance consisted of a sort of miniature dog-cart, on which was a box-seat This was connected by means of a pole, with a large wheel in front, so arranged that it could contain two dogs. The machine was guided by means of a steering-rod, with a handle conveniently near the The inventor reckoned that the dogs, in their natural desire to escape, would run forward, thus revolving the wheel, somewhat after the manner of on a treadmill. Even supposing that dogs could be procured which would perform this service, there remains the question of weight, which was the straw that broke the Inventor’s back. He found that the carriage, complete, would weigh about 200 pounds. To this was added the weight of a 150-pound lady, for the machine was designed especially for woman’s use. Considerable discussion arose as to how heavy the dogs would have to be in order to drive this weighty arid a book written on the subject said that two forty-pound dogs would not suffice. The inventor, therefore, deciding that animals of greater weight could not be accommodated, aban doned his task.

Big Ears and Their Meaning. Ears in which the “hem” is flat, as if smoothed down with a flat iron, accompany a vacillating mind and cold, unromantic disposition. Large round ears, with a neat “hem” around their border, well carved, not flat, indicate a strong will and a bull-dog tenacity of purpose. When there is no lobe and the ear widens from the bottom upward, the owner is of a selfish, cunning and revengeful disposition. The person with an ear with a rounded ovate top is almost without exception one with a placid disposition and a nature that pines to love ' and be loved in return. i When the ear is oval in form, with the lobe slightly but distinctly marked, it indicates for its owner a lofty ideality, combined with a morbidly sensitive nature. Fruit Growths of Mexico. Mexico is the home of the strawberry and in one of the provinces this fruit can be bought for 5 cents a quart every day in the year. Oranges, lemons, limes, and figs also grow in that fruitful land, with four kinds of I bananas, among them the sugar bai nana, the size of a mans’ finger and I most delicately flavored. Among the peculiar foreign fruits are the guaua, like a large yellow plum; the custard fruit, which looks like a large apple; the zepata, one variety of which resembles the pawpaw; the. mango, a large flat fruit, which supports entire colonies, and the butter fruit, used in making sandwiches. Timber Scarce. Out West —that is to say, in the Wild West—it is the custom, says the Harvard Lampoon, to mark a man’s grave by a white cross, surrounded by a little fence. One day I happened to notice that there was ■ but one cross in the cemetery at Mud j Flat. “Look, here, Dlck, : l said I, ' turning to my cowboy friend, “this i must be a remarkably healthy place, eh?” “Wa-al, it’s this way, pard,” he replied, “timber’s d—d scarce out here, and the last map gets the fence.’ Bakers. Special laws for bakers have been In existence since early times. In parts of Asia, whenever famine threatened, it has been customary for i the rulers to proclaim a fixed price i called a narkh, or nark (as it is pft- ! nounced In India). On this account ! dishonest bakers were nailed to their doorposts by their ears in some parts ' of Asia, while the more polite French ' have contented themselves for 600 I yeais and at the present time with i nailing their prices in their shops. Whenever a woman has bad luck I with her cooking, she doesn’t study the cook book more, but begins to j offer her opal jewelry for sale. ; med’eine is a good deal I like poisoning \>he spring where you get your drinking water.

Indian Methods of Fighting. There in a great difference between fighting Indians and fighting white men. The savages always get in a position where they will be shielded, and ouly fight when they want to, and soldiers are forced to fight whether they want to or not, and these scouts know better how to surprise them than our soldiers, for they are intelligent warriors and take advantage of every little circumstance. Every Indian is a General, and knows exactly what to do under any circumstances. He knows which is the best position for him and how to take the enemy nt a disadvantage. He is always, under all conditions, perfectly self-possessed,* and there is an individuality about him at all times. Tho soldier is mechanical and part of a great machine, and thereby loses his individuality. If there is a weak spot in a line and a lot of Indian boya are in front they will drop on that point and make as much out of it as a Caesar, Napoleon or Hannibal could do, for tpey will do exactly right, and that is ail the best General in the world'could <]*>. The Apaches are the shrewdest and best fighters in tlie world. They will strip themselves and ascend a precipice like a cat, and they will do all this after making a day's march. During an expedition they danced through one night, to the of our soldiers, who were ’trying to sleep, marched all next day, ami climbed places where a coyote would have trouble in getting. I have known them ' to run suddenly on a quail and kill it with a stone, and run down a wounded , antelope. They are just as much : smarter than any other Indian as any- I body <suldbe. They have wonderfully ■ good eyesight, being able to follow a trail on a starlight night as well as I could in daylight. I have seen these j fellows ambuscade in a place as level as a floor. There was a wagon train in 1871, going out of Arizona into California, with an escort in advance. The Indians saw them coming and ambuscaded in the road, which was perfectly level, with here and there a clump of grass. The Apaches lay upon their stomachs, threw dust over themselves and tied grass in their hair and were passed by the escort unnoticed. After the escort was some distance off, the Indians jumped up and captured the wagons in the rear and • killed the teamsters. These fellows take all the chance, whereas, other Indians seek a place where they will be safe, and shoot the enemy.—Gen. George Crook. Ambition. In passing the ruins of a building that had burned a few days previously, writes a contributor, my attention was attracted by a little boy who stood on the wreck of a printing-press and howled vociferously. Fearing that he was caught in the machinery and that a serious accident had befallen him, 1 hastened to the spot and asked in an anxious tone: “Are you caught? Does it hurt you?” No answer came but a howl. “Where does it hurt?” I inquired. “Nowhere, mum, only Tommy Knapp said I couldn’t climb as high as he could, and I can't” Always Welcome. So courteous are Manxmen, that in the Isle of Man, no matter at what hour of the day or night a stranger arrives he Is said to be “just in time,” for something or another. There is a story that early one morning a dance was in progress on one of the piers, when a shipwrecked sailor, who had been drifting about on a spar and had fortunately “landed” on the girders below, crawled up the steps. A committeeman came forward —they are never surprised at Blackpool—smiled, bowed and said: “Pleased to see you, sir. Can I find you a partner?” At a Touch. A neat little experiment in electricity is to soak half a sheet of stout foolscap paper in water, drying it rapidly before a fire, spreading it while warm on a varnished table or dry woolen cloth and then rubbing the surface sharply with a piece of India rubber. The paper becomes so electrified that it will stick to a smooth wall or looking glass, and also attracts small bits of tissue paper like a magnet, and on being laid upon a japanned tray which is stood upon three thoroughly dry goblets will cause tho tray to give out sparks at a touch of the finger.

. " Danger! If you have a feeling of oppression and uneasiness a little above the diaphragm, and just below the right ribs, aggravated by lying on the right side, look out! As sure as fate, your liver is disordered. Perhaps not seriously as yet, bnt—fatal hepatic abscesses are not uncommon. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the precise remedy to regulate the liver, and prevent its congestion and inflammation, and to disperse such minor indicia of its derangement as yellowness of the skin and ball of the eye, furred tongue, sourness of the breath, nausea on rising in the morning, dizziness, sick headache and constipation. By relaxing the bowels painlessly, it opens a channel of exit for the superfluous bile, cheeks a tendency to congestion and engorgement or the liver, at the same time giving a gentle impetus to its secretive action, and affords relief to the stomach, which is usually inactive, out of order and oppressed with wind when the bowels are costive. Use the Bitters also tn fever and ague, rheumatism and kidney troubles. Compressed Air. Careful experiments made in England show that the effect of compressed air or. men depends largely on their physical condition and temperament. Those of plethoric habit suffer most. A pressure of two atmospheres does not appear to injure men in godS health, and periods of four hours of continuous work are common in air of this density. As the pressure is increased the time of continuous working is usually shortened. Paralysis is the common trouble induced by working too long under high pressures. The Only Kind.

Juat Like Her Sainted Mother. John Reis was struck on the head by | his daughter Julia with a potato-smasher, and for a while it was thought he was very seriously injured. lie was attended by an ambulance surgeon. Julia is 14, and wanted tu attend a dance with her beau, but her father objected, and the girl, in her rage, snatched up the potatosmasher ar.d knocked her father senseless. To-day, in the Ewen street Court, he, having in the meantime recovered, refused to m&e any charge against his daughter, whom he looked at admiringly as she stood before the bar. “She’s jiist the same as her dead mother was,Judge, full of pluck,” said the happy but wounded parent, “and I cannot make a charge against her.” She was discharged. —Philadelphia Times. Custom Founded by Sun Worshipers. How many can tell the origin of the habit of closing the eyes in prayer? Far tack in the past the sun was the universal object of worship. As it rose above the horizon the devotee thanked it for its return to bless the world. As ft set In .the west he implored its early return. His face was always toward the sun in prayer, and his eyes were closed to prevent blindness. The habit has passed down from father to son for thousands of years. Thoqzh the object of worship has been changed, the custom survives. —Progress Thinker. The Rear Guard.
