Midsummer Daj In Sweden.
Wliile we were resting at the inn in
tbe shade of the temporary birch grrore,
my companion let fall, quite carelessly
and as if by chance, this sentence: "The
younger members of the community
while away the long twilight with dances
around the richly decked May-poles." It
had a suspicious sound, a Baedeker
rhythm, to it. I couldn't help thinking
I had heard it somewaere before; but
this placid countenance betrayed no
sign, aud I charged my suspicions to
oversensitiveness on the guide-book
question, and credited the rolling sen
tence to a sudden flash of literary fire.
' But that sentence proved to be our tor
ment, for it began to ride us the moment
it was uttered. We inquired of the land
lord if there was any twilight festival
that night. We had heard there was to
. be. The boys and girls usually trimmed
the May pole, and he believed they
danced around it at midnight. For his
part, he never sat up ail night; he al
waystnrued in at eleven o'clock, summer
an1 winter.
The possibility of a pastoral festival at
tbe romantic hour when the golden hues
of dawn ni et aad mingle with the sun
set red was too erupting for us to resist,
. end instead of experimenting with sleep
we strolled villageyard from the inn at
about eleven o'clock. The sun had dis
appeared behind the trees an hour or
moro before, but there seemed to be no
diminution of his light. The glare was
gone, but not the ' illuminating power.
In the west a line of red and orange
cloud?, recalling ttJie splendors oi &
Venetian t-UDset, changed fclowly in
form, bat never lost its brilliancy of
coloring. A strong diffused light,
casting no shadow, came from
the whole, dome of the heavens,
giving an unnatural color to the grass
and to the masseu of foliage. The
strangeness of tu?? effect seemed almost
fjortentons, us if some great convul
sion of nature were about to take place.
It was like that glow of late sunset
which in other climates is always rare
and always eyanescent. No dew had
"fallen, but across the meadows rose a
thin mist, floating lightly on the breath
of the evening, drifting into fantastic,
ghost like shapes.
Across the valley the distant hill-sides
were'harmonized by the softness of the
light into broad musses against the 6ky,
but still details were visible as in the
delicate haze, o! an afternoon in Indian
summer. There were no signs of night
in the village. Doors and windows were
open, and children were playing around
the prostrate Mav-pole. Pereued on the
fc fences sat rows of men and boys quietly
chatting. We vat on the fence also, and,
in order to feel more at home, began to
whittle little sticks like some of the men,
and tried to look as careless and content
ed as they did. We sat there a half-honr
or more, then changed to a fence of an
other shape and sat another half-hour,
and still nothing took place. Then we
began to think it was only u kind of open
air watch party to welcome tbe rmdsum
mer sun on St. John's day. But while
we were meditating a return to the hotel
there wns a stir in the street, and a party
of stout girls appeared bearing great
boughs, grass and field flowers. Throw
mg tbese in a fragrant neap upon
the steps of a house, they all set
to work in a bu?y crowd, and in a
short time had woven wreaths
and garlands and were decorating
the striped pole. Ao loud words were
spoken, scarcely a laugh broke the still
ness of tho night. It was a solemn,
almost religious ceremony. From the
red of tho sunset sky a delicate rosy re
flection touched the white sleeves and
kerchief?, and harmonized tho harsh
colors of the caps and aprons. Even the
crudely painted architecture was modi
tied into unobtrusive quality of tone by
the soft light. One by one the busy
workers ceased their labors a the ugly
pole grow into graceful shape, and
spread loner arms with trailing wreaths
and tufts of flowers. The men - watched
on in silence, the tired children stopped
"their whispers and sat in ranks on the
curb-stone. Now the cool draught of
night only stirrei the leaves at intervals.
the mist settled low upon the meadows,
and the weird forms melted away. A
new light from some mysterious quarter
gradually spread itself over the land
scape, and even while scarcely visible
changed the general tone. The rosy re
flection from the west lost its delicate
quality, faded into a cooler light, then
changed to the faintest tinge of gold. It
was the charm of sunset changing to the
beauty of sunrise. Slowly, almost im
perceptibly, came the transformation
The glory of the east rivalled awhile the
splendor of the west, until the first ray
of the sun shot across the sky, and it was
day again.' At that moment the polt
was put in its place by tho strong arms
of a score of men. and fastened to the
post where it stands the season long,
shedding its dried leaveg and grasses
with every wind that blows. As if by
magio the crowd disappeared, and we
were left alone. F. D. Mulett, in Ilarp
er's Magazine for September.
The Scene of the Slaughter.
Casimicciola, the Hcene of the last ter
rible alanghter by an earthquake, has
been a watering place and Bummer re
sort for 2000 years. It was celebrated
for its baths long before the opeiiing of
the Christian era, having been deserted
in the year 474 B. C. by its inhabitants
because of an eruption of the volcano
Epomeo. which has baen qniet and
harmless since the year 1302. Tbe free
dom from volcanic eruptions wns pur
chased at the expense of increased dan
ger from earthqtiakes.
It is situated on the island of Ischia,
fifteen miles westward from Naples, and
is reached by Hailing down the won
derful bsy, which has long been
the delignt of travelers and the
despair of descriptive writers.
-'The population oi tne island is
less ' than 30.000, of whom something
more than 4000 are residents of Casamio
ciola, whioh is the town of third import
ance on the island. It is furthest to the
westward on the islard, but this is com
pensated for by the possession of a fine
harbor, which has made it the landing
place for travelers. The town lies at
.the foot of the quiescent volcano and is
. built on soil formed from the many
eruptions of past ages.
The island lies almost in the center of
the earthquake zone of the Eastern
world, which is subject to these internal
convulsions at all times. Casamicoiola
has suffered severe'y man y times before
this, though sever so seriously as opoa
tho present occasion. It was almost en
tirely destroyed in February, 1828, the
shock only continuing three seconds.
The next and most eerious visitation un
til the present one was in March, 1881,
when a shock lasting seven seconds, ac
companied by a noise like subterranean
thunder, visited the town, destroying
300 houses and leaving 400 people killed
or injured.
1 The most desructive earthquakes that
have ever occurred in the same vicinity
were that in Sicily in 1G93, when 60,
000 people perished in one; that in the
reiirn of Tiberius, in 16 A. D., in which
12,000 people are supposed to have lost
their lives, and that ot 52C, when accord
ing to Gibbon, 250,000 people were en
gulfed. Ilerclaneum and Pompeii were
detryed in the year 62, sixteen years
before the final destruction by the erup
tion of Vesuvius. The earthquake of
Lisbon in 1775 swallowed up 30,000 peo
ple alive and killed 30.000 more, and in
February, 1783, 100,000 lives were lost
during a series of earthquakes, when
Messina, Calabria and other villages
were destroyed. No century has
passed without numerous and destruc
tive exhibitions of this great natural
power in the region in which the latest
calamity to Casamieciola has occurred.
The inhabitants of Ischia are princi
pally peasants, who 2ultivte the grape
and the fig and engage in fishing. They
are an indolent, self-satisfied people.who
live- in continual fear of the danger from
the volcano or earthquakes, but are too
much attached to their easy existence to
quit either the terrible risks or the easy
rewards. The population is much
swelled during the summer months by
the large number of persons who visit
the island for their baths and add their
easy, contenreu lives anu ineir pome
killing of time to the indolent qualities
of the humble natives.
lion Milk 1 Tested.'
The inspectors, of whom there are
four, can almost at a glance distinguish
pure milk from bad. Their method of
procedure is as follows. On the arrival
of Ihe wagons at the ferries the drivers
are made to lift the lid of every can, and
the inspector then goes from one can to
the other and takes up a dipperful,
which he pours nlowly back again, and
as a general thing to glance at the fluid
as it falls back over the dipper into the
csn suffices to their practiced eyes to
show them the quality of the milk.
Where there is any doubt he takes out a
sample of the milk and tests it with a
lactometer, and if it does not stand that
test, and even if it does, in some in
stances, he takes another sample, which
is sealed up in a bottle for analysis and
further tests.
While milk is obviously impure or
heavily adulterated, it is invariably
dumped in the gutter after a sample has
been taken for analysis and proof against
the owners, who are in all such cases
prosecuted and fined or imprisoned, as
the case may be.
Adulterations by water are shown by
the use of the lactometer, which should
mark eighty-seven or lower, for milk of
good quality and above that figure fcr
bad qualities or milk heavily diluted.
The tests adopted by the board of health
for determining the quality and Btrength
of milk are first by taste, which in its re
action should be slightly acid. Second,
the cream test. This is as follows: A
quantity of milk is poared into a long
glass tube marked in 100 points, which
i3 left standing for twenty-four hours to
allow the cream to rise to tho surface.
The percentage of cream is then easily
ascertained by a glance at the tube.
Some milk will show as high as 15 or 20
per cent, of cream, while other samples
will give but from 1 to 3 per cent., ac
cording to the extent to which it has
been denuded of its cream by skimming.
The lowest standard allowed to pans is 8
per cent.
For the determination of butter a cer
tain quantity of milk is dried at 212
Fahrenheit, when the residue is satu
rated with ether, which is evaporated,
and this leaves the butter behind. To
determine the whole amount of solids
and inorganic salts, a quantity of milk
is subjected to 212 degrees Fahrenheit
and the weight left shows the amount of
solids contained in the sample. This,
being ignited, loses all inorganic constit
uents, such as butter, lactine ana caserne,
leaving the inorganic salts behind.
If carbolic Boda was dissolved in the
milk for the purpose of preventing it
going sour, acids brought in contact with
the salts cause effervescence. The quan
tity of salts, together with the quantity
of "butter s'ubstracted from the total
amount of solids, leaves the amount of
sugar and casine.
Other organic substances which are
not of a fattv nature, if added to the
milk to give it a rich and creamy appear
ance, increase the weight of sugar and
. a -m
casine to a considerable degree, ana
whenever the quantity of these two sub-
stauces is abovs the normal standard
that is, when a certain amount of butter
on one side and sugar and casine on the
other do not exist.it is nearly certain
that some organic substances have been
added.
The farmers, it is asserted by the au
thorities as well as by the dealers, use
little'or no water for adulterating pur
poses, and send in their milk as it comes
from the cow.
The Wholesomciiefr of Dread.
Miss Juliet Corson, in Harper's Bazar,
treats the bread question, as all other
details of cookery, from a practical point
of view. She says a good word for wra
ted bread, made of dough, into which
carbonic acid gas is forced, and baked
before the bubbles have a chance to
escape. Ihe main otjjection to iresu
yeast bread for dyspeptics' i that it is
soft, and therefore too easily swollen,
whereas the 'stale" bread requires much
mastication. If sufferers who have been
avoiding new bread will take tho same
trouble in chewing it as they are com
pelled to do with the old, ther will get
all the advantage of their patience in the
more palatable article. Trie fresh bread
eater really tasks his digestion with a
much Iareer mass of spongy quality
than tho stale bread eater, and one which
has not been as well broken up by the
action of the saliva. If dyspeptics were
careful to take the smallest mouthf uls at
a time they would find even fresh bread
more manugeable, with sufficient chew
ing, tnan is supposed. In tne cnoice oi
flours, that made from hard winter
wheat is tho richest in gluten; In Europe
it is used for making the different vari
eties of maccaroni: the brown bread of
Europe is made from this wheat ground
entire. Soft spring wheat yielils a white
flour rich in starch. Bran bread may be
very irritating to some invalids, so
"Graham bread" and the "whole meal
fashion should only be adopted when it
is proved to be satisfactory. The parti
cles of bran may cause an irritation of
the alimentarv canal and produce diar
rhoeas. Undoubtedly this irritation or ',
stimalns may be exactly what is needed ! vival is not of religion, of temperance,
by some constitutions. 'or of commerce, but of common schools.

End of a Strange Law Snit.
Tbe London Daily News savs: The
civil tribuaal of tbe Seine has just dis
posed oi a YPry romantic suit, arising
out af tbe visit to Abyssinia in 1842 of
M. Hnsson, an eminent professor of
natural bistorv in Paris. M. Hasson
fell in love with a native woman of great
beauty, and when he retnrned to France
be took back with biin tbe son that was
born to them. In the meantime be
had married a wealthy widow, and his
wifo took such a fancy to the little half-
caste that be was, in accordance with
French law, legitimatized and registered
as their child. Tbe boy was educated at
Nancy, where bis father and adoptive
mother lived, and in course of time he
married a young lady of the town, and
died at a very early age, leaving a daugh
ter behind him.
But just after be bad died bis real
mother, the Abyssinian slave, apoeared
upon the scene and she came to claim
him as her son. This wis an incident
which bud not been foreseen by M.
Uusson and bis wife, and as there could
be no doubt as to the bov s parentage-
the color of his skin testifying to the
race of one of bis parents they were
unable to resist the claim, the conse
quence being that the deceased lad was
no longer legitimate, becoming the natu
ral son of M. Hnsson and the Abyssinian
slave. A further consequence was that
the lady whom he had married and her
daughter lost their shire in bis inherit
ance, and the widow accordingly brought
an action against the adoptive mother
for having allowed her to marry the lad
nnder false pretense-. For the defense
it was urged that tvorvone in the town
of Nancy was aware that the lad could
not be the son of M. and Mine. Hasson,
on account of his color, and that the
young lady and her relatives were made
fully acquainted with , the facts of the
case before tbe marriage was agreed to.
This was the view taken byHhe tribunal,
which has dismissed the cose and con
demned tbe plaintiff in all costs.
A Dyspeptic Minister.

your soul, rescue the perishing victims
of intemperance. See, here comes one

weariness to him. And what has made
thi3 wreck of manhood? Intemperance!
Too much hot bread and too many late
suppers. Dyspepsia; that's what's 'the
matter.
Had this man been a temperate eater,
he would be a healthy man to-day. But
he said, "I oan take care of myself.
When I find that hot bread and eleven
o'clock suppers are harming me, I will
let them alone." Ah, he thought he
could. But look at him now. And the
curse of his intemperance does not fall
upon him alone. No, indeed. Tou
should see his poor family bunt for dark
corners when the dyspepsia is unusually
strong on tbe old man. And yet he is
not a bad man. No; he is a minister of
the gospel. He is a good man, but he
has the dyspepsia. And a trnly good
man with the dyspepsia will say as ill
natured things about people as" will a
bad man with his skin full of whisky;
howbeit the good man will not swear and
pays bis ill-natnred things in a more re
fined way. Let us, deep in our hearts,
ever cherish a profound pity for tbe vio
tim of intemperate eating who is bound
in me cuains oi dyspepsia. Ana let us

ever prohibiting the manufacture of
shortcake and hot bread in Iowa, save
only for exportation. Burlington Hawk

Chrysanthemums.
All varieties of chrysanthemums are
amenable to the art of the cultivator,
and the plants can be fashioned at his
will; perhaps no plant will better dis
play the care and ingenuity expend
ed upon it to give an ideal form. Com
pact, ell-fuinishe plants are most de
sirable, and this is effected by potting in
rich soil, in pots of medium size aud
pinching back the growth as it pro
gresses, to increase tho number of
branches. When it is time to allcw the
buds to form for blooming, the pinching
must cease, and with us this is about the
first of August. The strength of the
plant is maintained while blooming by a
liberal supply of manure water. The
varieties of chrvsenthemums in cultiva
tion are very great, and new ones intro
duced every year. Many of these are
not better than older ones, but on the
whole there has been going on for a long
time a gradual improvement, consisting
in greater fullness, truer forms, and
more distinct colore. Great size, loose
ness and gracefulness of petals, and
brightness of colors are characteristics of
the Japanese chrysanthemums. Alto

IXTEKEJJITAO TO WOOD ME.
In a country like ours, where wood Is a burden
to the land, we should not be compel od to pay
uch prices as is psid for cord wood all over this
northwest coast. Capt. M O. Morgan, one of tbe
pioneers of Sell wood Portland's pleasant suburb
reasont d iu that way an 1 decided to invent a
machine that would cut cord or Hove wood at a
much cheaper rate tbao has ever been done here
tofore. It is an immense job to haul logs out of
the woods tc a he&vv eugiue in order to taw them
up Vo Captain Morgan has invented an
eng'ne and saw so light that two
men can carry it into the woods and
putting it down bc lde of a log. set it to work and
f&w the log out, without moving tbe log. no mat
ter bo w large it is ibesaw is a most ingenious
invention, and will come into general ue in
nearly every logging camp on this coast as soon
i's merits are known. Ihe engine con. s of a
piece of steam pipe four lucbes by 4-4 or 50 inches
stroke. Tbe infcideof tbe p pe is bored out smooth.
A band with two trunnions is then shrunk around
the outside of the tube about center way. The
trunnions are for the purpote of sustaining the en
gine and giviug tbe saw action. The ports of the
engine are made of Meam pipe. The steam is sud

a lever and an ingenious contrivance of a sprlug
and an incline plane. The lever is w irked bv a

saw is attat bed direct to the end of the engine's
t.ls'on rod. and is guided by rollers p'aced in the
saw frame. Tbe weight of the saw and er gine is
about 173 pounds. Tlie whole machine is so sim
