A Typical Negro Catnp Meeting. There is perhaps no more favorable lace in which to study negro character nd manners than the camp meeting^ his time honored institution is no less ial than religions in its nature. It is ally held in a partly cleared grove, inder the auspices of the local clergy, ither the colored population of the tnrroundiug region flocks, coming on ,'oot, in carriages and wagons, in ox /arts and mule carts, on horseback and ule back—in short, by every conceivmode of locomotion. Its dress is varied as its vehicles. Indeed the •aegroes of tho south are of all people the most cosmopolitan in the matter of dress. Clothes of every imaginabl3 style, color and "previous condition of servitude" are pressed into use, so that in this particular th» present as great a variety as the beggars in t€e nursery rhyme.
As -we approach the grove what a medley of sounds breaks upon our hearing—the neighing of horses, the bellowing of cattle, the heehaw braying of mules, the laughter and screams of chil dren, and joined with these a perfect babel of human voices, the whole forming a discordant din such as no human ear ever beard elsewhere! Entering the grounds, we pass bands of chil dren, climbing, tumbling, romping, like so many troops of monkeys gawky young fellows awkwardly making love to dusky beauties groups of brawny men discussing abstruse points of theology with as mnch zeal and more harmony, perhaps, than a body of learned divinity doctors. Hei.e and there a gos sipiug company of old "uncles" and "amities" may be seen reviving the momories of bygone days.—Chautauquan.
Saflfcon.
Saffron would strike an ordinary observer as decidedly expensive at 56 shillings per pound until told that it is composed of the central small portions only of the flowers -of a spocies of cro cus, 70,000 of which it takes to yield tho material foi one pound. The wonder then becomes that it is so cheap that it can pay to grow and gather it at the price. As a matter of fact, it has failed to pay the English growor—by this retaining, in the name of his town of Saffron-Walden, but a bint of former importance in this particular direction, French and Spanish soils being more suitable to tho full growth of the flowers and foreign labor cheaper in the work of picking. Its UBO in medicine has practically died out, barring perhaps tho popular belief that, steeped in hot milk or cider, it helps the eruption of measles to fully appear.
As a dyo in creaming curtains and to give a rich appearance to cake it is still, however, in general demand, for which purpose it is well suited in being both harmless and strong, one grain, composed of tho stylo and stigmas of nine flowers, being sufficient to give a distinct yellow tint to ten gallons of water. Its high price, by the way, has led to a peouliar form of adulteration, for, apart from tho crucio and commonplace one of dusting with a heavy powder, such as gypsum, to give woight, the similar portions of other and commoner flowers have boon specially dyed and worked thoroughly in among tho genuino ones. —Chambers' Journal.
lie Whi Not So Smart.
"No, "said tho man with tho largo head, "I can't say that I think very much of tho fox in tho old fablo of the fox and tho grapes. It is recorded of hiid that after trying to get the grapes by every way that his ingenuity could suggest ho Anally turned up his nose and said, 'Oh, I don't care they're Bour!* "Now, if that fox had had any commendablo wisdom in his triangular skull ho would have looked at tho grapes blandly and then announced to the world that they were sweet, but that sweets didn't agree with him that, owing to tho condition of his stomach, ho considered it inadvisable to eat anything containing saccharine matter, and that, besides, a properly philosophical fox belioved in self denial and in taking things that were easily at his disposal instead of trying to climb a trellis to secure attractive but deleterious grapes. "If he had done that, instead of being the laughing stock of succeeding generations ho would have stood a good chance of being appointed professor of philosophy at the varsity and of living on yellow legged chickens the rest of his natural life."—Strand Magazine.
CalturcU Trauapa Prom Boston.
"Tramps in Boston are by far the most intelligent and molest of their kind," said a native of the baked bean city, "maybe because of their culture (?). My experience with one of these 'gentlemen of leisure' was quite funny. One came to our house and asked for some clothes, and while my mother went to get tliom I thought he looked hungry, GO I brought him some breakfast. He said to me, 'I am sorry to put you to all this trouble.' Then, mother appearing with the clothes in a bundle, he said he did not like to carry clothes through the streets exposed to view, and when I wrapped them in an old newspaper he was indignant and said gentlemen never carried packages done up in that style in Boston."—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Animal Colonist®."
During the last few years the demand for pedigree English ^5 for Argentina has been enormc.lw Shorthorns, Herefords and Devons have been imported weekly, and a crossbred English stock now fills the "corrals" of the great beef and bovril companies of the Rio de la Plata. In North America this Anglicizing process has spread to all the states of the Union. Half bred Herefords and Shorthorns are taking the place of the common catUe of the States on nearly all the rauches of the beef producing districts, ai I the colonizing capacity of different English breeds is recommending them for special districts. Thus the Devon bulls are purchased for ranches where the search for pasture and water needs specia! activity and endurance, and red "polled" or hornless Suffolks are used where oattle are being bred for transit by rail or ship because the absence of horns is then convenient. Even tropical Brazil follows the fashion, and English Jersey cows are seen demurely walking through the forest paths by the coffee plantations and English terriers and pug dogs sit on the laps of Brazilian
Whether the Jersey cattle \frill Multiply on the planters' estates time will show, but the spread of our colonizing animals, which are now invading simultaneously the plains of Patagonia and the north Canadian territory, does not limit its progress to the direction of the poles. In India the English horse becomes a colonist by secoad intention, in the form of the "waler," a sounder and stronger animal than the majority of British hackneys. His value, as compared with the native breeds of Asia, is still undetermined, but we must accept his presence and survival as a fact.— London Spectator.
Soap. 5*
The first distinct mention of soap now extant is by Pliny, who speaks of it as an invention of the Gauls but be that as it may, the use of soap forwashing purposes is of great antiquity. In the ruins of Pompeii a complete soap manufactory was found, and the utensils and some soap were in a tolerable state of preservation. The Gallio soap of eighteen centuries ago was prepared from fat and wood ashes, particularly the ashes from beech wood, which wood was very common in France as well as in England. Soap is spoken of by writers from the second century, but the Saracens were the first people to bring it into general use as an external cleansing medium. The use of soap is thus described: "When examined chemically, tho skin is found to be composed of a substance analogous to dried white of egg in a word, albumen. Now, albumen is soluble in the alkalies, and \ttben soap is used for washing the skin the excess of alkali combines with the oily fluid with which the skin is naturally bedewed, removes it in the form of an emulsion, and with a portion of the dirt. Another portion of the alkali softens and dissolves the superficial stratum of the skin, and when this is rubbed off the rest of the dirt disappears. So that every washing of the skin with soap removes the old face of the skin and leaves a new one, and were the process repeated to excess the latter would become attenuated."—Philadelphia Ledger.
The Famous Paris Garret.
There are few persous interested in things literary who being in Paris within tho last or 15 years can have failed to hear of tho garret of M. de Goucourt. M. de Goncourt himself would perhaps have preferred people to say the garret of "tho brothers Goncourt," although, as is well known, the institution was orif inated and flourished only after the death of the younger brother. The "garret" specifically was a charming room, half hall, half library, on the third floor of the little Louis XVI hotel at Auteuil which M. Edmoud de Goncourt occupied during the whole latter part of his life generically it was the meeting together of kindred spirits, of disciples and admirers and friends of the old maitre, the germ of the academy which it was Edmoud do Goncourt's dream to establish in opposition to the aoademy of the 40 immortals, and the nursery, as it were, where talents were grown to ripeness for the honor of admission to that same especial academy. —Aline Gorren in Scribner's.
Speculation Stopped.
Governor Stephens of Missouri the other day commuted the sentence of a negro who had been condemned to death for murder to imprisonment for 50 years. When she heard of it, the negro's mother was so happy that she began to smoke a corncob pipe Some one having suggested to her that after all 60 years' imprisonment was a pretty heavy punishment, she exclaimed: "Wot's 60 years? Pshaw, wot de penitentiary to Willie? Ain'th&a young njan? Wot's 50 years to him? Anyways he ain't goin to hang. I doan' have to stay up nights an go cryin about an speculatin myself to death. I done stop 8peculatin. I done stop hit."—New York Tribune.
Man's Ruling Wish.

Wells In Sahara.
Artesian wells sunk in the Sahara desert appear to find an abundant' supply of water without going very deep for it, and this fact may in time put a new face on desert conditions, involving important political, climatio and economical consequences. The English have begun sinking them along the BerberSuakin road, finding water there as "abundant as it was in the regions near the Nile when their first experimental wells were put down. Flowing under the Saharan sands there may be water enough to fertilize oases all over sterile expanse and rescue it in a measure from its historic barrenness and desolation. Some years ago a French engineer proposed to cut a canal from the Mediterranean to the lower desert levels, thus creating a new inland sea, or, rather, restoring an old one, but fcr some reason the project was abandoned.
Local irrigation by meafas of artesir borings is a more judicious expedieuc, and, the English having pointed the way in this direction, the French are quite likely to follow it. Only a narrow desert belt separates their possessions in north and middle Afrioa, reaching from the Mediterranean to the Niger, and it is quite worth their while to fertilize it and plant it with palm groves and da': orchards if possible, at any rate to pro vide water enough to supply their present caravans and perhaps their future locomotives.—New York Tribune.
French Secret Police Methods.
I once spent an afternoon in a pleasant little villa on the banks of the river Marne with the former chief of police in the time of Napoleon III up to the proclamation of the republic. No one would have thought, to look at the peaceful figure of the proprietor, a little man in sabots, with gray beard a la Millet, absorbed in cultivating the magnificent hortensias that covered his ter races, reaching to the water's edge, that h:%» head had been a storehouse for all tho machinations and turpitudes of that period of decadence which ended in a disastrous war and revolution. It was on that afternoon that I learned how the fatal Ollivier ministry was decided upon by M. Thiers and his political friends one evening in the conservatory of a beautiful Frenchwoman living not far from the opera: Two brothers, well known in the best Paris society, meanwhile distracted the attention of the guests in the salon by sleight of hand tricks and gymnastic feats on a Persian rag, and when I asked tho old man how he knew all this with such precision, "From a femme dechambre," he answered tranquilly. "All personages of importance at that time, at their own request, took their servants only from my hand."—Harper's Weekly.,^ ijiii|i
Huxley and Arnold.
Dean Farrar records in his"ftMen I Have Known" an amusing and perfectly good natured retort which Mr. Matthew Arnold provoked from Professor Huxley, for the better appreciation of which it may be added that the "sweetness and light," of which Mr. Arnold wrote, were exemplified in his own very airy and charming manners:
I sometimes met Huxley in company With Matthew Arnold, and nothing could be more delightful than the conversation elicited by their contrasted ^individualities,
I remember a walk which I once took with tbem both through the pleasant grounds of Paris Hill, where Mr. Arnold's cottage was. He was asking Huxley whether he liked goinq out to dinger parties, and the profest lr answered that as a rule he did not like it at alL "Ah," said Mr. Arnold, "I rather like it It is rather nioe to meet people." "Oh, yes," replied Huxley, "but we are not all such everlasting Cupids as TOO are."

"I will not go into the details of why I was there," said the hale old capitalist, "except to say that I was acting for a large eastern concern and trying to find a man who had betrayed an important trust "There was a big snowstorm raging in the Sierras when I reached the little town near them and put up at the primitive hotel that offered food, lodging, drink and a proper care for my horse. Conventionalities did not obtain out there, and during the evening I became acquainted with a woman who was just from the east. With her was a very sick little boy, and her one anxiety was to have her husband with them as soon as he could be brought. He was in the mountains among the miners, and every one in the settlement said it would be impossible to reach him until the storm had subsided. "My sympathy for the woman was so great that I determined to relieve her painful anxiety if it were possible. All efforts to dissuade me were useless, and they looked at me as I left the hotel as though they never expected to eee me again. I will not attempt to describe the trip. Thirty-six hours after I started I stumbled into the camp through sheer intervention of Providence. With men and mules we made our way baok, and a happier reunion you never saw. The boy grew better, and the big, rough miner burdened me with his thanks. "Christmas morning he got me into a little room back of the bar and said: 'Pard, I hain't no talker. Here's a Chris'mas gif'.' "It was a half interest in one of the richest mines ever developed out there. He and I have been 'pards' ever since." —Detroit Free Press.
Young Womanhood.
Sweet young girls! How often they develop into worn, listless, and hopeIocs women because mother has not impressed upon them the importance of attending to physical development
No woman is exempt from physical weakness and periodical pain, and young girls just budding into womanhood should be guided physical* ly as well as morally.
If you know of tiny young lady who is sick and needs motherly advice, ask her to address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and tell every detail of her symptoms, surroundings and occupations. She will get advice from a source that has no rival in experience of women's ills. Tell her to keep nothing back.
