THORA.
HJALMiR H. BOTESIS.
Thin and graceful like a' clipper, Thora was
from top to toe, J ; . "
Though her dress was very scanty and perhaps
net "couyiie il faut;"
Bare and brown her little feet were, and her
cheeks ere sunburnt, too,
But her lips were very rosy and her eyes were
very blue.
One black skirt with red embroidery and a
. snowy-white chemise
Were her wonted dress on, week days, when she
telt herself at ease.
Hats she only wore in winter, when with enow
the air was dim,
But her eyes peeped forth full brightly 'neath
the big sou'wester's brim.
For
who thinks
and e'er so
that a sou'wester, e'en if e'er
wide,
From the boj s' admiring glances could a pretty
maiden bide
And 'tis known how much attention every
pretty maid annovs:
And it was a thousand pities! Thora did not
like the boys. "-'-'
They were either rude and noisy, or too bashful
ana contused;
As for loving theml No, thank you; she would
rather be excused!
And, besides, there were so many stout and
; slender, short and tall
How could she her choice determine, snice she
could not love them all!
Dumb, abashed stood little Thora and her cheeks
were flaming red;
Nervously she twirled her apron, and she hung
her pretty bead, -
Till at length she gathered courage, and she
1 whispered tireathlesaly:
"Mother, dear, 1 love him 'truly, and he says
that he loves me."
"Lord 'a mercy on us, daughter!' solemnly the
dame replied;
"1 who have the maids invited that they might
" tby choice decide;
For of men there are so many stout and slen
der, short and tall
How's a maid to choose anion cr them, since she
cannot love them all?"
Now the moon, who had
been biding in a veil
of misty lace,
Wishing to nnbarrass no
her face, '.
one by the shining of
Peeped again in modest wonder, ere her cloud
she gently broke,
And she saw the good-wife smiling, as to Thora
thus she spoke;
"since thou now bast cbosen, daughter every
bird must try bis wing
Tell me, how didst thou discover that thy heart

w Wei I," she said in sweet confusion, while her
eyes crew biz with tears.
"Thou would scarcely understand it-.nothcr
dear I loVed his ears."
Tatooing a Woman. '
The actiye competition between the
- tatooed women awakens interest. Two
in New York have voluntarily submitted
. themselves to the processes of punctur
mg and poisoning necessary to produce
the emblazonment which makes Captain
Uostentenus as picturesque as his name
and now a third is undergoing a few
months of torture in order that she may
be so disfigured that curiosity-seekers
may gape at her. This last young fe:
male says of another woman. "Any
body could be tatooed like her, but it
takes the nerve to have a solid puncture
pricked in."
"And are you really illustrated with
cuts all over?" asked a reporter.
"Not yet," was the reply: "but I'm
getting to be."
An engagement was made lor the re
porter to be present when the next oper
ation was performed. The reporter was
startled, not - to-sv shocked,-by the
promptness with which -aue displayed
various portions of her anatomical struc
ture when he'called at her room. It
seemed a trifle immodest for her to show
in piivate what she proposes to exhibit
in public for a living; but after a brief
struggle with his sense of propriety, he
looked .with great interest at certainly
the most remarkable collection of pic
tures ever exhibited. The gentleman
who devotes his days to the puncturing
, of his wife's epidermis is a sailor, or has
been one, and has imbibed forecastle no
tions of art, together with his knowledge
of tattooing. Accordingly, his wife's
arms, legs and body look as if she had
had a violent eruption of flags, tomb
stones, allegorical figures and moral and
patriotic mottoes.
"God bless oar homes j" "Procrastina
tion is the thief of time," and "The
Union forever'fill up the interstices
between Melpomene, Calypso and the
grave of Thomas Jefferson, while a large
tri-color adorns the right thigh, , and a
free-hum! sketch of a man-of-war is
'pricked into the left. Scores of designs,
no two of which are alike, have been en
graved (so to speak) in the flesh, and
the vacant spaces are being filled in day
by day by others.
"Can I see you put on a new picture?"
asked the reporter.
The tattooer carefully wetted a small
. camel's-hair brush in some India ink,
commonly so called, but which he ex
plained was really Chinese ink, and be
gan to examine his subject to see where
he should begin. After turning her
aronnd two or three times he selected a
small . white spot on her left shoulder
blade, and rapidly sketched a heat t
punctured by a cupid's arrow. Then
he chose one of the several bunches of
needlse and began to priok the ink in.
"I go just deep enough to draw blood,"
said he; "when that comes I stop. Then
it immediately swells up like this," and
he put his finger on a' raw sore on her
arm. "After three or four days the scab
comes off, and it looks like this," and he
put his finger on her left knee, where
there was an angry-looking blotch of the
shape of a bird. "Then the skin peels off
twice, and in about a week or more it is
all done."
The woman undergoing the tatooing is
the daughter of a well-to-do farmer in
Pennsylvania, and is supported by re
mittances from home, while her husband
is devoting himself to garnishing her for
her debut. As soon as she shall have
leen sufficiently bedizened, which he
thinks will be in a few weeks, she is to
fulfill an engagement of a year at $20 a
week. Something like the first year't
receipts have been used up while she has
been undergoing the torture of. prepara
tion, but she calculates, unless the fash
ion in tatoo changes, to be an attraction
to any "show" for the rest of her life.
A , Jlllllonalre'i 'mansion. s
The magnificent priva'te residence for
Ross P. Winans, the well-known million
aire, on St. Paul street, Baltimore, the
erection of which was commenced last
spring, is now completed. The work
men are putting on the finishing touches.
Carpets, etc. ,re being laid down.and in
a short time the dwelling will be ready
for ocenpany. - The structure is said to
be the finest private house south of New
York, and, when finished, will excel, in
point of beauty and excellence any dwell
ing in Baltimore. A number of invited
guests, accompanied by Mr, Winans,
visited the house this afternoon to make
an inspection. The Jot upon which the
house stands is 125x122 feet. The
house itself is 66x75 feet, and is five
stories high, with sloping mansard roof.
The style is French Renaissance, and the
exterior resembles very cioseir an oia
Belgian or French chateau. What re

of the dwelling is as magnificent as the
fanev of the owner can mate
it. It is of satin, rod oak and ebonized
cherry woods, inlaid and carved, and in
each room there are costly beveled mir
rors. The hall runs the full length of
the building, and upon its ornamenta
tion and decoration alone has been ex
pended $50,000. The cost of the entire
building and garden, when furnished,
will be about S500.0OO. In the construc
tion, Mr. TVmaus ordered that no ex
pense be spared. Tnere are rooms in
the basement for 16 servants, also laun
dry, kitchen, boiler pit, storeroom and
drying room, and, upon the first floor,
there are a handsome ball room, draw
ing, .reception and dining rooms
and parlor and library The other floors
are to be taken up with bedrooms. The
most striking feature in the architectural
appearances of the house are two towers,
one at the front and the other at the rear.
They reach only as far as the cornice,
and remind one of the pictures of lie Ill-
worth Castle. At the side of each
of the towers rise four - circular
chimneys, uniquo in design and
made of pressed red brick, with jet black
eement. The house is built of press d
brick and brownstone, and the blending
color is rich and perfect. Mr. Winans
will occupy the residence as soon as fin
ished. The old mansion will be occu
pied by his sister. The new building
was designed by McManon, Mead &
white, of New York, the architects who
designed the Yanderbilt mansion, and
the builder was Blake, of Baltimore.
How Snooks &wre Off
New Tear's Day is the regular time of
"swearing off" for all topers. A Com
stocker, who made a fortune under the
disadvantages that attach to the name of
Snooks, took time by the forelock and
swore off on Christmas morning. The
way of it was as follows, to wit, All the
Snooks family, both great and small
were hanging up their stockings dn
Christma- Eve. The Snooks children
insisted that "Papa Snooks" should hang
up his f stocking, which he did. Next
morning he saw projecting from the top
of his stocking (in reality a sock)
what looked very much like the neck
of a bottle. Hauling forth the
familiar object, Snooks found it labeled
"Old Bourbon" his especial brand
a note from his favorite youngest'daugh
ter, saying:. "To Darling Papa, from
Nellie." Snooks gazed at the note, then
at the bottle, scratched bis head, looked

again at the two objects, then gave a
snort, marched into his woodhouse and
smashed the bottle in a thousand pieces,
His Christmas present settled it. The

posed he liked best, but in this there was
food for reflection, and after a few mo
ments of sober ' thought, Snooks " con

Thb Formation of Gold. Professor
J. S. Newberry has presented some
points of fact and argument against the
theory that the grains and nuggets of
gold found in placers are formed by pre
cipitation from chemical solutions. He
holds, in a paper published on the sub
ject, that geology teaches in regard to
the genisis and distribution of gold that
it exists in the oldest known rocks, and
has been thence distributed through all
stfata derived from them: that in the
metamorphosis of these derived rocks it
has been concentrated into ' segregated
quartz veins by some process not yet un
derstood: that it is a constituent of fis
sure veins of all geological ages, where it
has leen deposited from hot chemical
solutions which have reached deeply
buried rocks of various kinds, gathering
from them gold with other metallic min
erals, and that gold has .been accumula
ted through mechanical agents in placer

HOUSE ASD FARM.
New Vegetables. Season new vege
tables with a good deal of black pepper
as srell as salt. There is then less dan
ger of their affecting ' the stomach un
favorably.
Raisin Pie. One cup of raisins, one
cup oi water, one cup oz sugar, one.ana
one-half tablespoonfuls of corn-starch;
put the water on the raisins and boil for
five minutes, add corn-starch dissolved
in a little cold water, add sugar, and
boil five minutes longer. Bake with a

Nine Out of Ten. The successful
farmer is the reading one in nine cases
out of tec. It is only by reading that
one can keep up with the times in which
we live. It h3 been aptly said that an
agricultural community without? books

An Easy Way. A very easy way to
poach eggs is to get boiling water in
your muffin tins and set them on the
hottest part of the stove; break the eggs

in two or three minutes they will be done
and can be taken up one at a time in

Umger snaps. .Never put ginger
snaps in a jar while they are not; take
them from the tins and lay them on
plates to cool, otherwise they will steam
and become moist and will not be crisp
and brittle; other cookies will not need
so long a cooling process, and cake
which you wish to keep a wees or ten
days is improved by being wrapped in a
towel while still in the tin; let it stand
in this way for two or three hours.
Loss of Cud in Cows. Loss of cud or
suspension of rumination in cows is due
to indigestion, from inaction of the mus
cular coats of the stomach. The remedy
is to clear the bowels and stomach of
gathered indigested matter by a brisk
purgative; " for instance, a quart of lin
seed oil or twenty ounces of epsom salts,
and then to give some easily digested
and -laxative rood, as bran mashes or
linseed meal steeped in water twelve
hours.
Sure Cure for Corns. A scientific
journal says: "A. C, who has tried it,
is authority for the following: Take
one fourth cup of strong vinegar, crumb
finely into it some bread; let stand half
an hour, or until it softens into a good
poultice; then apply on retiring at night.
In the morning the soreness will be gone
and the corn can be picked out. If the
corn is a very obstinate one, it may re
quire two or, more applications to effect a
cure. Continued moisture for a reason'
able length of time is all that is gener
ally needed to place the most obstinate
corn in a condition .for being easily re
moved.
Heavy Farm Tools. As a genera!

purposes to which a farm-wagon should
be put. it you wont to haul two tons it
is far better and cheaper in the end
to

Living near Blue Knob, in this county,
is a remarkably aged and well-preserved
couple. "Uncle" Johnnie Hill, aged 96,
and his wife, Fannie Hill, aged 96. They
have been married nearly eighty years
and have lived together in the greatest
happiness during this long period of
years. Uncle Johnnie is hale and hearty,
enjoys the company of young people,
and, although he does not work himself,
every morning, no matter what kind of
weather, he gets out and superintends
the feeding of his stock. His wife is very
cheerfnl and bright, superintends her
housework and does some of it herself.
She can read very well without specks.
Uncle Johnnie tells some very interest

How It Was,
A citizen- doing business on Monroe
avenue was interviewed the other day by
a man who had a family bible in hand
andVanted to pawn it for a dollar.
".Let s see, replied the citizen, i "I
believe you were here several days! ago
with your dead mother's ring and wanted
fifty cents for it."
"Yes." .SC,::S;,::.: .
"And previous to that you called here
with your dead father's watch." '
"I did." - V-'-;. v.. .
"And a month ago you halted me on
Jefferson avenue and wanted a loan on a
locket which had been worn by your
dead sister." -
"I think you are the man, sir."
"It looks to me as if all your family
were dead."
"Such is the case. I am the sole sur
vivor."--.. .
"Your dead mother's ring was only a
washed affair, if I remember right?"
"Exactly. I wouldn t tell a lie no
how. She always wore washed rings in
preference to any other sort."
"And your dead sister s locket was
clear brass?"
"So it was, 'sir. ! She preferred that
kind and we always humored her."
"And your dead father s watch, was a
galvanized one, I think?"
"You've hit it again, sir. The old
man bad some queer notions, and that
was one of 'em."
"And what dead member of your
family once owDed this bible?"
"My grandmother, sir."
"I see that many of the leaves have
been torn out, and others are stained and
spoiled. Was that a notion of your
grandmother's?" -
"It was. She. was queer, but good,
When she read her bible she liked to
skip from the fifth verse in Lnk to the
sixteenth verse in John, and she dis
colored the pages to rest her eyes while
reading."
"And what cranky, notion have you
got?"
"I think that you will lend me fifty
cents on that bible," was the reply.
"Well, that's where one member of
your family made a mistake. I believe
you are a fraud."
"Sir!"
And I'll have you arrested."
"Sir! Your words convince me that
