RUINS OF CARTHAGE. A YUU to n Spot Covered Wltli the I)nt of Three Kinplre. From tho Bab Kadra, a gate of Tunis it is a drive of about nine miles to tho site of Carthage, and it is a good day's work to see tho ruins scattered over territory three or four miles square. Above ground hardly one stono is left upon another. Hero and thcro,at wide intervals explorers have dug ditches and uncovered somo pieces of tosselatcd pavement, or tho floor and walls and marble basins of some bath Near the sea at the Hyrsn, tho ancient citadel lull of the Punie town, and also a mile or two inland at the Arab vil lage J-i iMitiKa, aro vast cisterns 01 subterranean reservoirs, series of vaulted tanks of masonry which once held tho city's water supply. An amphitlieater, tho outlines of which may bo traced with difficulty, a theater that is a formless heap of half-buried rums, great masses of fallen masonry, fragments of walu still 111 position, hillocks of rubbish, and everywhere the dust of three empires, and tho debris of three Cartilages destroyed in succes sion the whole is still a nuzzle to arclueologists and confusion to the mind of tlio traveler who goes thither prepared to expend sentiment over the remains of Dido s own town. The church of Homo holds a position of advantage with reference to the ruins of the city where so many early Cliristianssufl'ored martyrdom. A range of high hills stands between the sea and tho wide plain which stretches away to ward Tunis. Tho earliest Cartilage was on these hills, close to the port; the city as it grew reached out upon the plain. Among the most conspicuous objects on tiie crest of the coast hills, either from the interior or from the sea as you approach Goletta, is the great white palace occupied by Cardinal Lavigerie. Near by is tho vast cathedral which tills nmP.ious and energetic prclfito is carrying toward completion on historic ground, lhe ancient citadel of Car thage, as has been said, is crowned by Hid Chapel of St. Louis, erected by Louis Philippe In memory of his sainted but unlucky ancestor, who died here of the plague six hundred years ago, dur ing the eighth crusade, while retreating from before the walls of Tunis. Here, loo, is tho Col I ego of St. Louts. In the rich lowlands beneath the hills, on the side away from the sea, are the palaces and villas ot HI Marsa, the Hoy's home, and the houses of many of his high officers of state or army. Still higher than tiio Unman Catholic. settlement, however, dominating it from the side of tho hill that is stopped 1)3 tho Capo Carthage lighthouse, stand the whitest of Moslem villages, the holy town of Sidi ISou Said. It is one of the most picturesque places in tho world, and is in cither respects interest ing. Curiously enough, many of the Arabs believe that St. Louis died a con vert to the Mohammedan faith, and that his remains aro buried at Sidi Hon Said. The saeredness of tho village, from whatever cause it may be derived, is continued by the residence there of the Sheik el Islam of Tunis. Cor. Bos ton Globe. A PEDDLER'S TRICK. Irlltienee of iRiioruut. Twudilln Upon the Aiiirugn lliinuin llelng. It is to bo feared that tho commercial morality of tho country hawker is not yet above suspicion These men aro determined by hook or by crook to dis pose of their wares, and they aro mas ters of the arts of cajolery and finesse. Scores of entertaining and authentic anecdotes might bo given to bear out this statement. Wo subjoin a few: A vendor of cheap spectacles called on an ancient maiden lady and displayed his glittering stock. The lady remarked that sho had recently purchased a pair in a neighboring town. "Do they suit you, ma'am?" "Yes, I think so." "It's a serious thing to have spectacles that don't suit; very harmful, very. 1 vo traveled for years glasses of all descriptions, I've known a lot of mischief by glasses bought penniseus like, don't mind a bit what they sell with and done Thoy over counters, not thoy; they never look to seo the customer again, likely. Now, I'm on this round regular, an' it stands to reason as I have to bo wonderful careful. Might 1 have a glance at these spectacles, ina'amP" Impressed by the tone of respectful sympathy, the lady fetched them, and the hawker, with an assumption of much knowledge, turned them round and round and tested both glasses and frames. His verdict soon came: "I'm sorry, real sorry for ye, ma'am; ye'vo been deceived. These spectacles aro really dangerous; blue steel frames o' this pattern and temper '11 bo sure to injure tho temples." He began to gather up his pack. "Then what do you recommend?" "Well, ma'am, 'tis a sacrifice; but, to oblige ye, I'll exchange a pair for the-e, if ye plea.-e; you'll bo safe thou." With a little more persuasion the bargain was olloetod. A week later the lady re appeared at tho shop from whence had conio tho discarded pair of glasses. The new ones had proved utterly use less. Sho had to return, considerably poorerlu pocket, if richer in experience, to those certain, in tho hawker's words, "to injure her temples." CasselVs Family Magazine, "Mother, why do they call a girl a bride' when she gets married?" "Me causo that's tho right name for hor then, 1 suppose?" "I'll but I know." "Well, why?"

Tim Ornvc Krror of IMvldlng tho TVorld Into Two CliMscsTho 'Ulvcrs" and the 'Hotter." Ono of Jean Ingelow s later poems tells the story of a faithful and cat nest young minister who became thoroiigl ly discouraged because of the seeming failure of his work among the very poor. In spite of all he could do, ho appeared to mako little impression up 011 squalor, drunkenness, sin and death. At length, in real experience and in dreamland vision, ho was made to sec that he had seemed to fail be cause he had come to think that tho whole world was sharply divided into two classes: those who helped, and those who received help; and that these two classes never exchanged members. He felt hini-elf a doer and giver, entirely responsible for tho welfare of those ho aided and, in fact, belonging to a different religious ca-.te. The idea that ho could learn, and receive benolit from, poor outcast children or starving men, never entered his head; nor did lie stop to think that God, and not he, was re sponsible for things when man had done his best. Not until suffering and despondency had cleared his mind, did he learn that this is a world of mutual helpfulness and instruction, in which wc learn as well as teaeli ami receivo benefit from others as truly as we give it. This young curate, with his half acknowledged ideas that he was re sponsible for the moral universe, and had 110 lessons of courage and trust to learn from his inferiors, was not alone in possessing those notion. A good main' excellent people talk about re ligious work, and charitable organiza tion, and beneficences of all kinds, jus as Hie curate did. Jlioy are so ac customed to give out, that the idea of taking in hardly occurs to them. Hence a good part of their well-doing fails of its proper result, and thev come dangerously near the sin of giving for some other sake than Christ's. Un consciously tho idea of mastery, of proprietorship, of dispensing ono own 111 one s own way, steals 111 upon the sweet and loving charity we are bidden to strive for. lho Lord wants all our lives, strength, money and in terest in our fellows; but when wo have given all, he, and not we, must be re sponsible for tho result. With tho vast md noblo increase of religious and piiiiauiuropie won: wiucii lias so brightly characterized the nineteenth entury now closing, there has grown all the whilo this idea of corporate beneficence, of "asto helpfulness, of the division of the world into great elans of givers and takers. No belit tling 01 uie vast results achieved since this conttirv began is included in one elleetion upon this thought, but rather the farther uplifting of powers that, al- eady have done so much good. How an wo give all we now give, and more, and vet eliminato every trace ol unconscious Pharisaism? S.--S. Times, WORD TWISTINGS. I'lilllnjr to Which Muny Nervous Public Spriiki-rs Arn Subject. "My (tear boy," once asked a head master of a Philistine member of his sixth form, "do you mean to say that "you havo never heard of that magnifi cent statuo of Michael Angolo, by Moses?" Clergymen seoin especially addicted to this habit, perhaps bo- causo their excessivo anxiety to bo correct renders thoni nervous, and to those of their congregation who are gifted, fortunntoly or unfortunately, with a keen sense of tho ridiculous. such slips aro excessively, trying from tho impropriety of openly testifying appreciation. "Sorrow may endure tor a joy." so an Irish clergyman is re ported to havo read with the utmoct feeling; "but night eoineth in the morning!" With a transposition of initial letters a now field of solecism is opened tip, in which a living cleric, in other respects intelligent and ac complisliod, works with an involun tary assiduity tint is most upsetting to his hearers. "My brethren," so ran ono of his most startling ann-iuuce-ments, "wo all know whaf it is to havo a half-warmed fish i. o half formed wish in our hearts." With him, howover, tho mischief g es fur ther, extending to n mutual entangle ment of words which is terrible to con template. Ho has been known to speak of "kinquering congs," and on one occasion, over memorable to his interlocutor, addressing himself to a gentleman who had intruded upon his seat in church, he politely remarked: "Pardon 1110, sir, but 1 think you aro accopowing my pie." Hero wo aro next door tithe carrying out of tho portmanteau prin ciple, a proximity illustrated by the feats of two other clergymen, one of whom gave out his text from "the Cnlostlo to tho Kpissians" while the other read "kneo of an idol," for "eye of a noodle." Tho rooter of an Irish country parish, whoso church the writer has frequently attended, was liable, out of nervousness, to contort and entangle his words in strange fashion. Thus we havo heard him speak of tho "linporfuritios" of man, when it was quite obvious that he could not make up his mind between "Imperfections" and impurities." and ended by amalgamating the two words into one.

How Portrait Aro Unshed OPT and the Methods Adopted to .Make .Money. "What becomes of tho many nrtists who fail eh?" repeated a rising young nrtist to tho query of a reporter. " ell, many of them hang on and do hack work all their lives. They dengen erato into tho cheap crayon artist, and many often clear as much as fifty dol lars a week. Hut tho genuine art in stinct is dead and can never bo rovived by any process known to science. Do thoymako good crayon portraits? Yes, some of their portraits are excclent, but there is no characteristic art nothing above mediocro mechanical cxcclcncc. New York has an army of pastel and crayon artists, Tho artist on the daily paper who can sketch and originate positions has far more talent and art instinct than the most success ful crayon-portrait maker. Hut the most successful artist fakir if I may bo allowed such a term is ho who does life-sizo portraits from photo graphs by means of solar printing. Tho solar printing enlarges tho photo graph, and tho mechanical artist dashes oir the crayon, thus saving him tho labor of drawing tho features. It is a quick method, and enables the busy artist to do more work. Many photographer's havo their pictures made life-sizo by crayon artists for $8 apiece. I suppose, though, that the photographer gets moro than $8 from his customers. Some of tiieso artists do a large amount of work, and do it more rapidly than the scenic artist. I clivipod into tho studio of a success ful crayon artist not long ago and found him rushing oil portraits at a great rate. He said he was in a big hurry to do several portrait13 and asked mo to help him. I told him I did not do that kind of work. 'Oh, I don't want you to do the face, just jab in a lot of clouds in the background, old boy, to givo mo a starter.' "I went to work and 'jabbed' in clouds whilo my friend wa making a face 011 another canvas. II t is a su perior crayon artist and receives tiie magnificent sum of $25 for each por trait. Hy hiring men to do back grounds and all but the faces he turns thoni out by wholesale. I known Ger-. man crayon artist who does a wo id'ir f til I v clover portrait, life size, for Slo. lie doesn't use the solar printing plan. Of course there are som s artists o 1 tho Howory who turn out life-size bust por traits at St and $3; but thoso aro bad, even from a crayon artist's point of view. The best artists rarely go under $15. unless they aro doing work wholesale for photographers. Tho Art League frequently graduates lirst class crayon artists by simply lotting thoni know that they have no art in stinct above the mechanical. This in formation saves tho student years of useless study. Tho crayon artist de serves credit for his true mechanical methods, and his cheap prices do not interfere with other artists who aro not mechanical. Solar printing has brought life-size crayon and pastel por traits within the purview of very limited purses." AT. Y Mail a n. I fix- press. FLORAL TRIBUTES. urlumU for Ocnrml Cirsint'M Tomb I'our- hifr In from Many Sources. Seoing so many beautiful flowers heaped upon the tomb of General Grant which 1 visited the other day 1113' curiosity was excited by the question: Where do they all come from? and do they serve no other purpose than to deck tho great soldier's resting-place until thev die? A few dav later, in onversation with Colonel I Grant, I learned tho sources of the garlands, and also that their usefulness outlives thoir beauty. He said: "Once every week mv mother takes out a largo de ign made of cut flowers. These re main there until she orders the guard to remove them and replace them with the frosh ones she may send. So that all the time her selection of flowers is there." 'Tho other flowers aro from friends, then?'' Somo are, but tho majority aro from strung -rs.

The annual celebration of the Dec laration of Independence occurring soon, a few suggestions may not bo in appropriate at this tune. Therefore, my son, let mo wnrn you against being too inquisitive. To peer into tho inuzzlo of a gun while your companion is experimenting upon the mechanism at the opposite end of the weapon may bo quite praiseworthy in a strictly scientific point of view, but tho practice is likely to be attended by painful results. That is to say, tho re sults aro sometimes painful; in many cases the effect is altogether painless, but thev arc lasting. Do not blow into the smoking end of a fire-cracker. Tho lire-cracker is lit tie, but it can blow very much harder than you. If you aro firing a cannon, and wish to extract tho greatest possible amount of amusement out of the exercise, 111 duce the person who thumbs tho vent to uncover tho holo at the proper mo ment, and the effect will bo startling. It 111:13- remove some of your members, or even yourself; but then, there is the ofl'set that you will save a great deal of monoi' that would otherwise be ex pended upon gloves, and there is the added possibility that your board and clothes will cost you nothing hence forth. Tho spirit of 177G, which you have heard so much about, is not of that brand obtainable iit tho saloon. A Erreat many persons are not aware of this fact, or at all events thoy get lho two varieties so confounded that they make a confoundedly bad appearance and feel confoundedly bail tho da' after. Do not think, because a young lady acquaintance smiles upon you on this day of clays, that she is desperately in love with you. Ice-cream and soda are extremely palatable to the female taste, and a smile is neither exhaust ing to tho purse (iTie purse of tho smiler) nor detrimental to the physical system (unless the smiler assimilate too much of the i. c. and s). Of course, you will not go upon the water in a saii-boat, unless you aro wholly unacquainted with the art of navigation. If j-ou know nothing about sailing a boat, you will have a lino time, besides getting a nice bath without the trouble of undressing. I should also advise yon to cat all the cakes, peanuts and such other con diments as are dispensed by peripatetic, dealers. The proper study of mankind is man, and it is, therefore, well to know how much one's stomach will bear. You will not forget to buy a whip.' by you should bin one, or what earthly connection there can be be tween a ten-cent whip and the Dec laration of Independence I am unable to say; but as it seems to be the proper tliinir to do. don't forget to sunnlv yourself with a whip. In order to obtain the greatest possi ble results from a lire-cracker, do not throw it in the street (unless a restive horse happens to bo passing); but pro ject it into some houso in process of construction, wliero shavings are plentiful. You will be surprised at tho success which will reward vour care and forethought. Heforo entering a crowd, take tho precaution to unbutton your coat. Remember that while you are enjoying a holiday, there aro people who have to work; and by adopting the advice offered you can save tho light-fingered gentry no end of trouble. Drink all the ice-water possible. The moro you drink tho moro you will crave it, and every body knows that there is no greater pleasure in life than satisfying one's cravings. Of course it may kill you; but what of that? There will bo plenty of 'folks left to carry on this world's business after you havo left it. Mako all tho noiso you possibly can. People might forget you if you didn't. You will bo much thought of if you make your environment hideous. Boston Transcript. Pungent Brevities. Net profits. proceeds Tho fisherman's A bowled alley.

Somo IntcrrUtnc facts About mi Import" ant IlulTalo Industry. Buffalo manufactures every year nearly seven million bushels of mnlt, almost wholly the product of Canadian barley, which, it appears, makes n bet ter gr-dc of malt than its congener on this side of the border. This is about two million bushels in excess of tho combined manufacture of any two other American cities, and, indeed, it is not unlikely that wo lead the world in this industry. Our malsters make within two million bushels of tho amount used annually in London, Eng land, b- brewing-houses, and a great proportion of tho malt used there comes from provincial towns. Tho greater number of the breweries in Hit ft alt make their own malt as the' want it. while the product of the regu lar inalt-houes is almost wholly shipped Last, where it finds a reach market in New England, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Alb inj and other cities largely interested in brewing. Tho manufacture of malt, briefly stated, consists in the conversion of the starch in tho barley kernel into sugar, from which by fomentation the potent principle in ale and beer is pro duced. Tho process in all essential particulars is as ancient as "tho bul rushes round little Moses, on tho old banks of the Nile." Indeed, it is quite certain that the most ancient of all Egyptians drank an intoxicating liquor made from barley. That barley was one of tho cereals cir.tivated by tho Egyptians is stated authoritatively by Harou Hunsen and Wilkinson, the famous Egyptologists. The word .'corn," which appears so frequently in the Hible, is a general term app ied to all eeresls and really means grain of all kinds. While it is not really known what the means were that the ancient used for extracting the alcoholic pi 1 11 ciple from the grain, !t is recorded that malt liquors were much indulged in by the Greeks and later by tho Romans, by whom the secret of their manu facture was introduced into Gaul and Britain. As to tiie details of tho process, thoy aro almost identical in all establish ments. Tho barley first undergoes what is termed steeping." This is done in largo cisteriH holding any where front one hundred bushels to three hundred md more, depending upon the extent of floor in the malt-house. A ater is poured in on tho barley until it is cov ered to a depth of six inches. From fifty to sixty hours is tho time allowed for steeping. After tho grain has im bibed sufficient moisture the water is run oft', and tho barley is turned out in a heap on tho malt floor, and turned with wooden shovels every few hours until "sweating" sets in and tho grain begins to germinate. It is at this point that the chemical change takes place- and the starch in the barley is convert ed into sugar. The process is allowed to continue to a stage readily recog nized by the expert malster, when it is brought to a finish by placing tho malt in. the drving-kiln, wliero it is kept for a longer or shorter timo according as tho liquor is to bo lie or stout. For stout or porter the malt is scorced to a brownish color, while for the amber ales or beer it is permitted to take but little color. Hy its conversion from barley to malt tho grain increases two or three per cent. ( in buk, whilo it loses something iu weight When dr.ed it is ready for tho brewer or market. The value of this city's annual out put of malt for shipment is 'not less than ,000.000, and the value of that mado and consumed by Buffalo brew ers may be safely estimated at l,o00, 000. This immense industry has grown up almost entirely during tho last twenty years. Before the war thcro was little or no malting done here. Buffalo Courier.
