TniNGS are being stirred up again among the Brazil miners, and that lively region promises to become lively again. The State Treasurer has bought up sixty-three internal-improvement bonds, which with interest amount to $384,000. The Indianapolis News says there is a disease cijculating among the dogs there which sets them stone blind within a few hours. A farmer in Perry County got two rival machine agents to cut his wheat on a trial and then concluded to wait till next summer to buy. A committee of the Trustees of the State University started East a few days ago for the purpose of looking up an eligible man for President. A boat containing Geo. Campbell and two horses, while crossing the AVabash River a mile east of Logansport, recently, capsized and all were drowned. At Attica, a few days ago, a little elev-en-year-old son ®f Mr. Cook, Superintendent of the Indiana Northern and Southern Railroad Company, fell from the car on to the track, the wheels severing his body in two. The members of the State Board of Education are conducting the examination for State certificates. These certificates are good for a lifetime, and license those holding them to teach in any part of the State. Isabel McOry, thirteen years old, was drowned near Heroin recently. In attempting to cross a swollen creek on a foot log she fell In. A companion also fell into the stream, but by clinging to the log was saved.

The aggregate expense of the publie schools of Indianapolis for the year ending June 30 was $266,793.45, of which $122,953.86 was for teachers’ salaries. The city has twenty-one district schoolhouses and one high-scliool building. A young Jefferson County bride, married on a recent Wednesday, was burned to death on Saturday in the usual manner by pouring coal-oil from a can upon the lire to kindle it. Tier name was Mrs. J. T. Burton, and she lived two miles east of Wirt. Portland City was literally submerged the other day by the sudden rise of the Salimony River. It is stated that all the skiffs in the village were brought into requisition, and many a father was seen stemming the current bearing his family in his ai ms. An eight-year-old son of Thomas Price was drowned in the mill-race at Lafayette the other day. He and two other boys were driving through the mill-race when the horses started suddenly, jerking the little fellows out of the buggy backward into the water. A contract has been let for building a largo addition to the Normal College, located at Valparaiso. Work has already commenced on the second boarding-hall. Every possible preparation is made for 1,090 students at the opening of its third year in September next. Prof. Bell, of England, visited Indiana recently. In his report he speaks in the highest terms of the coal-fields of this State, and particularly of its block coal; also of the Indiana furnaces, which, he said, could successfully compete with any district he had visited in smelting the ores of Lake Superior or Missouri. The Evansville Coririer says that Robert Dale Owen is now safe with his own children at New Harmony, where he is receiving all the care that affection can bc3tow. It is a pitiable sight to see the venerable and gray-haired gentleman passing about the streets of the village of New Harmony and witness his acts, which indicate too clearly his aberration of mind. Jacob T. Lkttermax, thirteen years old, was killed at Parrott’s Grove picnic, near Evansville, on the oth. In fixings awing in a tree he climbed out on a branch about thirty-seven feet from the ground with a hatchet and commenced to chop at the limb to fix the rope. The bough broke under him and the youth struck the ground with such force as to rebound slightly. He fell on his face and was picked up insensible, and died at night. The wife of Richard H. Pigg, Jr., in Cass Township, was alone a few evenings ago when a storm came up, and becoming alarmed took her tw r o youngest children in her arms and leading the other started to go to a neighbor’s. A culvert had washed out in the road, and into the dashing current' the unfortunate woman plunged in the darkness. The two little ones she was carrying were drowned, but she managed to get out with the oldes Child.

Zuni Customs.

The Zuni Indiana are in many respects similar to those of the Moqui and other Pueblos, but speak a language unintelligible to the latter. Their dress resembles that of the Chinese, and many of them, notably the women, hare the physical characteristics of the latter, among which are oval faces, merry, almond-shaped eye# and a similar complexion. -Dwelling with them, aa with the Moquis, are several families of albinos, which have been among them during many generations. These never intermarry with their darker neighbors, between whom and themselves there exists a mutual dislike. The usual dress of the men consists of a cotton tonic, and loose trowsers of the same material, reaching half-way below the knee, the tunic being often gathered by a leathern belt or a gayly-colored woolen sash, in the manufacture of which the Moquis excel. Over all is worn in cold weather a Navajo blanket of brilliant hues and water-proof, varying in value from five dollars to five horses. We have seen several made by the Navajos for officers and traders valued at $l5O coin each. This finer work in colors seems not to be understood by the Zunis, or they perhaps find it more profitable to wool for the blankets, devoting themselves to their farms and herds. The women wear always an outer garment of wool falling from the shoulders nearly to the ankle, and gathered at the waist by a broad woolen sash of bright colors, the fringed or tasseled ends of which hang nearly to the feet Knitted woolen leggings and high buckskin moccasins complete the dress of the lower limbs, while their beautiful arms are uncovered or concealed at pleasure within the ample folds of their dress ■ or blanket, the latter being worn with a grace almost classical. The heavy black hair of both sexes is cut—or, as our ladies have it, banged— over the forehead, sometimes restrained by a cotton band around the head, and often with the maidens dressed in puffs at the side and top of the head in a manner to heighten their resemblance to the Chinese. Their flocks are numerous and constitute their chief wealth. One of tne caziques gave his daughter 2,000 sheep, as a dower, a short time before our visit. Their farms extend down the Zuni Valley several miles, in addition to which they cultivate other valleys within a radius of twenty miles, where are smaller pueblos, which have each had thriving populations in past centuries, but which are now occupied only during the summer months by families from Zuni. Their dependence upon irrigation makes agriculture laborious, but their joy at harvest-time, when young and old of both sexes join in gathering and threshing their crops of grain, is contagious in its merriment. Circusrings are formed near the village, the clay soil being leveled and beaten until a firm, smooth surface is obtained, and around this horses, asses and Indians trot inagrotesque procession, with an accompaniment of songs and jokes, threshing the sheaves of grain. The lordly Navajo, at such times, visiting there for trading purposes, strides about, a king in stature and grace, or lazily smokes his cigarette, while he watches a labor he despises.— William C. Manning, in Harper's Magazine for August.

Musical Kites.

In Central Asia the amusement of flying kites is as popular as in Europe or America, but it is made to yield a double gratification. It delights the ear by an emission of soft, melodious murmurings at the same time that it pleases the eye with its graceful, bird-like motions. Each kite is so constructed as to produce the effect of a floating ASolian harp, and thus the flight and the song of winged warblers are both imitated in the ingenious plaything. Maj. Abbott gives a description of these musical kites in his “ Narrative of a Journey from Herat to Khiva”: “ Each kite is a square formed upon two diagonals of light wood, whose extremities are connected by a tight string, forming the sides of the square. Over the whole paper is pasted. A loose string upon the upright diagonal receives the string by which the kite is to be held, and a tail is fastened to its lower extremity. The transverse diagonal or cross-stick is then bent back like a strong bow and fastened by a thread of catgut. Of course every breeze that passes the kite vibrates this tight cord, and the vibrations are communicated to the highly-sonorous frame of the kite. And, as numbers of these kites are left floating in the air all night, the effect is that of serial music, monotonous, but full of melancholy interest.” We suggest to some of the experimentative youths of Chicago that they, equip their kites with an ASolian attachment and test the effect on a quiet evening. The wild, wayward music of kEolus is far more enchanting than any that can be drawn from instruments played upon by human fingers. —Chicago Tribune.

A Picture Fraud.

A suit arising out of the sale of a picture with a false signature has just been decided before the Paris Court of Appeal. M. Michel, dealer in works of art, bought in April, 1874, of M. Coquet, a sculptor at Rheims, a landscape signed “Ch. J.” and bearing at the back the name in full, “ Ch. Jacque.” The price paid was 600 f. The painting was afterward submitted for verification to the artist to whom it was attributed and he returned to M. Michel with two notes written on it in common ink; at the top,in front—“ This daub is not one of mineand on the back—“ Those who put my name here are thieves.” M. Michel, in consequence, called on the seller to take back the picture, which the other refused to do, saying that it had been spoilt by the insciption put on it An action was brought before the civil court *t Rheims and a verdict was given for the plaintiff, Coquet being allowed to deduct from the 600 f. he had to reimburse a sum of forty francs for the depreciation the painting had undergone. An appeal was made against that judgment, which has now been confirmed, Coquet being in addition compelled to pay to Michel 59f. 95c. for expenses to which the latter had been put by the other refusing to receive the object in dispute from the railway company when sent back to him and returning it to Paris. —Court Circular. He is likely to remain in poverty all his days who has a loving, patient, sweeUem. pered wife who will pot or canpot use her brains.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Delicate Muffins. —One pint of milk, one pint of flour, two eggs, and one pinch of salt. Fill small tin cups or iron corn-cake pans and bake in a hot oven. A Hop-Vine.— This beautiful vine makes a delightful shade for porches and windows, and can be utilized for domestic purposes, one vine yielding enough hops to make into yeast to supply any ordinary family a year. Green Beans.— Select those which shell easily; it is a great waste of both time and beans to shell those which are very young and small, and the product is not rich nor sweet. Have them as nearly alike in size as possible, otherwise the very young beans will be cooked so much as to lose their flavor before the older ones are done. They should be picked by a person of some judgment. Cook gently until all are done, the time depending entirely upon the age of the bean. Serve them in their own juice, which should fill them nearly full when done. —Science of Health. - Currant Catsup.— This is a favorite preparation to eat with meats, and is made of five pounds of mashed currants, three pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of finely-ground cinnamon, one of cloves, one of allspice, one of black pepper, one nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cook one-half hour. A great improvement on the above is to add the same proportion of spices to the juice, boil, and finish as jelly, Then the useless seeds and skins are rejected, and, more than all, -it always retains its first fresh, delicate flavor, which is lost after a time under the regular recipe soy catsup. Tar and pitclf produce stains easily removed by successive applications of spirits of turpentine, coal-tar, naphtha and benzine. If they are very old and hard it is well to soften them by lightly rubbing with a pledget of wool dipped inegood olive oil. The softened mass will then easily yield to the action of the other solvents. Resins, varnishes and sealingwax may be removed by warming and applying strong alcohol. Care must always be taken that, in rubbing the material to remove the stains, the friction shall be applied the way of the stuff, and not indifferently backward and forward . —Joumal of Applied Chemistry. Currant Jelly.—ls the fruit is gathered before dead ripe it will make firmer jelly, and it is not necessary to pick it from the stems, only remove all leaves or sticks. Put the fruit in a pail, or pan, over a kettle of boiling water, and heat enough for the skins to break easily, then dip into a hag made of flannel, and squeeze till dry. Measure the juice, allowing for every pint one pound of white sugar, but do not add the sugar to the liquor till it has been allowed to gently boil over the fire for twenty minutes or more, removing any scum that may arise. The sugar is now to be added in the proportions mentioned, when the process of coagulation is so rapid that lumps of jelly are often formed before it is all dissolved; while in color it glows with all the richness and transparency of the garnet. The secret of making all fruit jellies is to boil the juice before and hut little after adding the sugar; if boiled together, the product is apt to be soft, dark and gummy, if it ever becomes jelly at all. Use a pound of sugar for a pound of fruit in preserving currants, and if all the necessary boiling has taken place before the sugar is adjled the juice will become a tender, beautiful jelly

Cultivating and Trimming Apple Trees.

For two or three years we have been trying some experiments on cultivating and manuring apple trees at different distances from the trunk. Only a general brief statement can be given here. Trees which stood in grass and had small circles about them, kept clean and well cultivated, did not seem to be benefited, even when the space about the tree was tilled eight or ten feet each way (with trees fifteen years old). The trees appeared with yellow leaves and made slow growth, the same as those in grass with no culture. Other trees which stood in a patch of grass, each tree in the center of a sixteen-foot grass plot, and cultivated well beyond the grass every way did apparently as well as those with clean culture everywhere about them. (Piling manure close about a large tree is like trying to feed a horse by tying hay to his sides instead of before his mouth.) It is too soon to draw conclusions, but it so far seems to be unnecessary to cultivate closely to trees to make them grow well. I know from observation that most of the best working roots of an old apple-tree are out under the ends of the longest limbs and beyond them. The manuring at different distances about the trees has not shown much effect yet. The trees are moderately trimmed every spring, and young shoots rubbed off as they appear on the large limbs during summer. No limbs are removed which are more than one inch in diameter, unless they previously. Two years ago the cold winter injured severely some of the tender varieties, as Sweet Bough, Jersey Sweet and Baldwin. Some of these were heavily cut back, some were let alone, and others moderately trimmed. The results are decidedly against heavily cutting back. Other experiments with striking and positive results have been tried. Many people all over the country are trying the same, and have been for many years, all with the same results. They are as follows: Young trees are set in thick sod with only a little space dug about them—or they are set in land which is often soaked with water for weeks togetherThey will never amount to anything. It is a labor thrown away. It needs no more proof .—Prof. W. J. Beal, Michigan Agricultural College.

Thinning Fruit.

Novices in fruit culture, as well as a large class who believe in allowing a tree ta injure itself by overbearing, never thin out the young fruit or thin overburdened trees; but the shrewd orchardist, who knows the road to success by experience, at this season carefully removes a portion of the smaller specimens, as well as some of large size, when thickly clustered together, and by this means actually increases the weight of his crop and makes it more valuable. The grower of foreign grapes, more than any other gardener, is

aware of the advantages to he derived from thinning out the branches; he knows well that they will outweigh those not thinned, and the berries will swell up to double the size of their neglected companions. And so it is with peaches and pears, with perhaps less need as a general rule. It does seem akin to sacrilege when we begin to destroy so many healthy young peaches, for instance; but we must bear in mind that if allowed to remain on the tree until maturity they will not be so healthy and the tree, unableto bear its burden, maybecome useless in the future. It cannot be impressed upon readers too strongly to commence now, and see that none of their fruit trees are in a condition to injure both their crop of fruit and themselves by too heavy a task. Relieve them of a portion, for it appeals strongly to your pockets.— Josiah Hoopes, in H. T. Tribune.

Science as a Means of Culture.

That science is worthy of endowment will be admitted by every one competent to form an opinion. Yet I would remark, at the outset, that the reasons sometimes advanced by students of science in support of this proposition are not of the worthiest, though they may be those best calculated to secure the alliance of the unscientific. Even Tyndall has spoken of science as though its chief value resided in its quality as “ a source of individual and national might;” and many have dwelt on its value as a means of adding to material wealth. It would be affectation to contemn such considerations, but assuredly they do not present the noblest qualities of science, the chief good which science is competent to work. It is as a potent means of culture that science is worthiest of its recognition. The material gain derived from scientific research has no doubt been great; but it has been incalculably surpassed in value by the change which science has worked and is working in the minds of men. It is, indeed, precisely in this respect that scientific persons most completely misapprehend the work which science is doing. They attach special value to those things which science is silently but certainly displacing. They are pained by the light which science is pouring on objects that had seemed venerable so long as their defects had been veiled under the gloom of ignorance. They are appalled when science would teach them : to displace all false loyalties by the noblest loyalty of all —loyalty to the truth. But the student of science can deal with such errors as he would deal with errors of observation or with untrustworthy experiments. He is not concerned to war against them. To be angry with them would he as unscientific as to be angry with gravitation. The true teachings of science will be recognized in due time—with results foretold. It was predicted that the religion of mercy would bring, not peace, but a sword; the seemingly stern religion of truth will bring, not a sword, but peace into the world. To recognize the universal reigD of law is to perceive the futility of lawlessness, no matter under what high or even sacred names disguised. The culture of man through the study of truth is the work of science in the future. And scientific research derives incalculably greater value from the fact that it affords material for scientific culture than because it may add to national or individual power, or because a means of increasing our store of material wealth. Even the benefits derived from those departments of science which tend most to ameliorate the condition of the masses, great though these benefits unquestionably are, must be esteemed small by comparison with those which will hereafter be derived from science as a means of mental and moral culture.—Prof. R. A. Proctor, in Popular Science Monthly.

Freckles—Their Cure.

What shall a young and otherwise handsome lady do to get rid of freckles on the skin ? Answer. —Freckles are not easily washed out of those who have a florid complexion and are much in the sunshine; but the following washes are not only harmless but very much the best of anything we know : Grate hoTse-radish fine, let it stand a few hours in buttermilk, then strain and use the wash night and morning. Or squeeze the juice of a lemon into half a goblet of water and use the same way. Most of the remedies for freckles are poisonous and cannot be used with safety. Freckles indicate a defective digestion, and consist in deposits of some carbonaceous or fatty matter beneath the scarf skin. The diet should be attended to, and should be of a nature that the bowels and kidneys will do their duty. Daily bathing with much friction should not be neglected, and the Turkish bath taken occasionally, if it is convenient. —Herald of Health. Red Eagle, an educated Sioux chief, wanted to marry a Minnesota girl. She said: “If you can raise 150 bushels of potatoes a year, 200 bushels of wheat, and S4OO worth of stock, and can buy me a silk dress for the wedding, I am yours.” “Not much,” replied the colored chieftain, “but I can raise hair enough to make you a braid.” They were not married. A female cook at the International Hotel at Niagara Falls has committed suicide by jumping over the cataract.

NEW PUBLICATION.

“Avowdale, as a story, baa no rival. It «ombines the wit and humer as Fielding with the pathos of George Eliot”— lnter-Ocean. “ The plot or Avoksalb is deep and well sustained, and its tone Is ennobling.”— Chicago Journal. “ The story of Avondalb Is natural and refreshing, and its teachings tend to honor and vlrtne.”— Chicago Standard. “ The scenes of Avondale are well described, Its Incidents natural, and its conversations sensible and edifying.”—Advance, Chicago. “ The beet English critics have accorded to Mr. Clarke (author of Avondale) a high rank among the first writers of the ag e.”—Chicago Tribune. “Avondale is a story of deep thought, and ita author’s knowledge of human nature is visible on every page.”— Western Catholic. “ The pleasure we derive from Mr. Clarke's volume (Avondalb) Is enhanced by the fact that the author Is one of onr most estimable citizens.”— Wcsttm RurcU. “I have read Avondalb with delight. It will stand the test of criticism, and ought to be in every library.”— Alfred Dutch. Avondalb will he sent free, on receipt of $1.50, by the author. Prof. Clarke, 604 W. Adams St., Chicago. Bats a late issue of .the Philadelphia City Item: “ Ingenuity has been taxed to find the surest and most direct means of reaching the public, and the business man who would advertise a specialty, and get the greatest good out of the greatest number, in tEe shortest space of tune, is compelled to go to Geo. P. Rowell A Co., of New York, for advice. Why to this house ? Because it is the head and front of the advertising business. It is prompt, methodical and clear in its transactions, and possesses the confidence of all the houses which advertise most.”

Wilhoft’s Fever and Ague Tonic.— This medicine is used by construction companies for the benefit of their employes when engaged in malarial distrlcte. The highest testimonials have been given by contractors and by the Presidents of some ofthe leading railroads in the Bouth and West When men are congregated in large numbers in the neighborhood or swamps and rivers, Wilhoft’s Tonic will prove a valuable addition to the stock of medicines, and will amplv reward the company in the saving of time, labor and money.

A fact worth remembering—Five cents’ worth of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders, given to a horse twice « week, will save double that amount in grain, and the horse will be fatter, sleeker, and every way worth more money than though he did not have them. Married ladles, under all circumstances, will find Parsons' Purgativs PiUs safe; and, in small doses, a mild cathartic. They cause no griping pains or cramp. PbußßlNG’s White Wine Vinegar, purest and cheapest, warranted to preserve pickles. A male convict at Cayenne obtained permission to marry a female convict; but as the man was a widower the Governor declared it was necessary first to obtain the certificate of the death of his first wife. A communication was addressed to the authorities but without any reply. The convict insisting that the oeremony should no longer be delayed, the Governor said: “ But what is there to prove that your first wife is dead V* The reply of the convict was tolerably satisfactory on this point: “ Why,” he said, “ I’m here for having assassinated her.”

The reduction of summer goods in New York this season is greater than the most ancient and venerable shopper can remember it to have ever been before; partly because the lnarket has been flooded with fancy fabrics, which the merchants dare not carry over, and partly because of the general dullness of trade and the necessity of raising money. When a man has a business thatdoesn’t pay he usually begins to look round for a partner to share his losses with him.
