A marriage celebration In Algeria It n Interesting relic of ancient custom. The bridegroom goes to bring a brido, and the guests assembled outside the bouse will wait for hlscomlng. 8oonthe tound of pipe I heard coming from the ummit of some neighboring hill, and the marriage procession approaches the bridegroom'! house. , , . . The pipers always come first In the procession, then the bride muffled up In a veil, riding a mule led by hor lover. Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed damsels, sparkling with silver orna ments, after which the friends of the bride follow. The procession stops In front of the bridegroom's house, and the girl's friends line both tides of the pathway. The pipers march off on one side, while the bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule and holds her in his anus. The girl's friends thereupon throw earth at the bridegroom when be hurries forward and carries her over the threshold of his bouse. Those alwut the door beat him with olive branches, amid much laugh ter. Iu the evening, on soma occasions, the pipers and drummers are culled In, and the women dance, two at a timo, facing each other; nor dues a couple desist until, panting and exhausted, they step aside tomako room for another. The dance has great energy of movemont, though the steps are smull and change! of position slight, the dancers only cir cling round occasionally. Out they swing their bodies about with an ostonitihlng energy and suppleness. As leaves flutter before tho gale, to do they vibrate to the music; they shake; they shiver and tremble; they extend quivering anus, wave veils, and their mintlt teem lost in the abandon and frenr.y of the dunce, while the other wo men, looking on, encourage by their high, piercing, trilling cries, which add to the noise of tho pipe and drums. New York Journul. Wellington's I'lsne. Before the battle of Waterloo, no one was probably more uneasy than Lord Ui bridge, who, if Wellington should be killed, would be called upon to succeed himlncommuiHl,anclwho know nothing whatever about the duke't plans, "I am in a very difficult position, he said to a friend. "If any accident hap pens to the duke, I shall find myself commander-in-chief. I would give anything in the world to know the duke's projects, and yet I dure not ask him what I ought to do." ' ' After some consultation on the subject, they went together to Wellington and frankly told him the difficulty in hand. The duke listened without impatience, and at the end of Urd Uxbridge's speech, he said, calmly: "Who will attack the first to-morrow, I or Bonuarte?" "Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbrldge. "Well," continued the duke, "Bona parte has not given me any idea of bis projects, and, at my plant will depend upon his, how cun you expect me to tell you what mine arc?" Lord Uxbridgo bowed and made no reply. The duke rose, and continued, touching bitn in a friendly way on the shoulder; "There It one thing certain, Oxbridge that is, that whatever happens, you and I will do our duty." lie then shook his hand warmly, and they separated, Iord Uxbridge no wiser than before, yet feeling that Wellington bad trusted him exactly at fur as bit reticent nature would allow. Vet the great duke did depend In a great measure upon the application of common tense to the needs of the mo ment . When he was once asked how be succeeded In conquering Napoleon's mar shals, one after another, he replied: "They planned their campaigns just at you might make a splendid tot of bar- lies. It looks very well and answers very well until It gets broken, and then you are done for. Now, I make my campaign of ropes, If anything went wrong, I tied a knot and went on." Exchange. Adolphu Trollop' Cook. Mi. Trollo was fortunate In securing attached servants. Once, when be paid a long visit to Venice, his devoted Tus can attendant took positive pride la fighting it out with the "foreign" trades people over lire and conteaiuti. But oc casionally be stumbled on a ad excep tion to the rule, and we have on strik ing example of how superstition may ex ist side by side with irrt-ligion and ru calily. A cook hud been robbing him right and left The one man's word was set against that of the other, and it Came to a case ol hard swearing in court be tween tho master and the servant. A crucifix was handed to the cook, and be was Invited to lake oath to bis allega tions. He twice essayed to utter the falsehood he intended to swear to, but twice he wa unable to Utter a word, turned a whit as a sheet, and fell to U flour In a fainting tit.

Some of our more ob servant writers have got a glimpse of the truth; Wilklo Collins, for Instance. Ho very 'properly credit Count Fosco, the mun of daring, resource uud deter mination, with a double chiu, to which Fosco't x't cockatoo culls publio atten tion by rubbing its head against it in tho most appreciative manner possible.'

Shakesiieare undoubtedly foresaw tho olnt, as be foresaw every thing else, but he was sufficiently artful to wear just enough Iteaid to place it in eternul doubt whether ho bad a double chin or hot. Thus he leaves it open to all parties, tingle-chinned or double, to quote him at an instanc e or anything they like, which, after all, Is the great uso which Shakespeare has always been put to.

Do not the fact disclosed by our social statistics cause it to appear that, in the adjustment of our schools, we have gone too fur in our aim for material advance ment and development of wealth, and that we are correspondingly losing in the direction of moral growth and cul ture? Let us, then, imitate the prudence of the railway cngiueer, and, though seeking to retain the advantage which are already ours, let us uot be blind to the visible defect and besetting dangers of our present system.

The queen pays more than $10,000,000 a year out of the profits of her Indian farm for tlie education of her tenants. There are at Bombay, Madras and Cal cutta great universities on the model of the University of Ijoudon.and the whole of India is dotted with colleges and schools. The universities have more than 3,000 native students, and the professor ship include law, medicine, engineering and the classics. In addition to these there are ninety-six colleges in British India containing uearly 9,000 students, and as to academics and publio schools their name is legion. There are now schools for the teaching of English in every district, but it will yet be genera tions before education can be spread tnroughout the people, and only then will India be happy.

Are We Losing 60,000,000 Pounds of Butter Per Annum by It ? ; t A Few Reolpes. It will be seen in the repoH I of. the proceedings of the Geneva US. Y.) but ter school that Dr. Van Blyke raleed the question V Why. does the ripening of cream make it churn more easily? and answered it, " Because the albuminous matter of the cream is thus rendered less lenacious." . We think the answer correct, says llnnrd'i Dairuman. when it is under stood that the sweet and sour cream are of the same temperature; and we do not know but it is true wnen wio cream is made about eight degrees lower than the soor cream. But with the power churning ol centrifuged cream the time for churning either sweet or sour cream counts for but little, for during the tests made at the West Virginia sta tion from December to July Prof. Meyers does not report the time of churning sweet cream at more than 41 minutes and the shortest 11.9 minutes. But the aveiage time as between sweet and acid was in favor of sour cream, even at the tempera''" at which Prof. Meyers churned lwth creams. lint the extreme of either was not alarming, while the average yield of cream was about .05 of a pound of butter, more from the same bulk of cream, when 3.05 pounds of sour cream made a pound of butter. These facts show that, if it does take a little longer to churn sweet cream at 64 than it does to churn sour cream at 02, in churning enough cream to make 300 pounds of butter, as our large facto ries do each day, often there is a loss of 10 pounds of butter in each churning. It looks rather (rightful, but Pro(. Meyers ffives the facts that lead to the conclu sion. For. i( there is a loss of .21 of a pound of cream on each 3ii5 pounds ot cream, then there is a loss of 03.7 pounds in 1,200 poands of cream, which would make 10 pounds of bnlter. Can't a man afford to run a power churn 41 minutes to save that amount ot muter: Had not some of our churners in Iowa and outside of it better be " looking a little out " to find out what becomes ol their butter yield ? To get a clear view of the enormity o a bad practice' app.y the truth of the arithmetic to larue masses of milk or cream. We invite the mathematical ex perts to phase, our figures, if they can. If thpv wish til assault Prof. Me vers facts, that is another question. Vho has any facts to invalidate them, as he patiently made them dining seven montha' time? We do not know of a man. If his conclusions are even half true, we opine it would go far to recon cile both farmers and factory men to the making of sweet-cream butter. Espe cially so, if it be true, as the newer facts point, that sweet-cream butter will ripen in the package' in a short time as well as In the cream it comes troni. Should we pay any attention to what is learned, or plod on and feed creamery butter and farm butter to the hogs to make 4 and 5-cent pork ? If the churners teel justified in losing one-twentieth of the butter for the sake of making it from sour cream and lose one-twentieth of their own earnings to do it, then let them stand up like men and tell their patrons the dire necessities that environ them and make them be lieve it, if they can. But we tell them that they are neither serving themselves, the separator men, the churn manufact urer or the farmers. To, justify the wording of nur head for this article we will say that a loss of one twentieth of the butter churned in this country means a loss of 00,000,000 ponnds. Can it' be saved?

Lewiston journal. Ilrwllcliml Milk. F. S. Bcan.'a former Oxford dean, now residing in Cadott. Wis., communicates a strange tale of an old Oxford county superstition to The Norway Advertiser. He says thu4 when he was a lad tlie peo ple of his' neighborhood used to believe that an old woman living there was a witch. She became provoked with neighbor because the latter refused to sell her a cow, and thereafter no butter could be made from thut cow's milk. No matter how bug they churned, the butter would not come. As the story goes, a girl in the family had heurd that witch could be burned and dispossessed by dropping a red hot horseshoe in the churn with the creum. Site tried the expert ment, whereupon she declared that scream issued from the churn! The but ter soon came, and a scar in the shape of a horseshoe was afterwards seen on the old woman's person by some imaginative observer. " When I was a boy, I believed the story, but my faith is somewhat shaken now," says Mr. Bean. Where Sum Rag Go. Ilousewives must often have wondered where all the rags go to after they pass into the wagon of any one of the several hundred ragmen who pass through the alleys with thoir monotonous cries. These gatherers of old rags take them t warehouses where they are bought in bulk, and then assorted by girls accord ing to quality. There was a time when most of the rags were sent to paper mills. Now a very small proportion rugs are made into-puper, straw and clay being the chief ingredients. Fine linen paper, so called, is made of rags. ' Ninety per cent, of tlie rags collected, however, go Into the manufacture of "shoddy," of which cheap reaiu- made clothing manufactured. This stuff is now made up into the brightest und most attractive patterns, and can only be told when new from wool by tho expert, and by experi ence with tiie wearer.
