There is <.ir. point of view from which tho foruiiuivu of a new lake in southern Califoruia by tho overflowing of a sandy desert with water from the Colorado river possesses peculiar interest. It may throw light upon some of the mysterious changes that have occurred upon the planet Mars. Near the equator of Mars there is a region which has been believed to be part of the dry land of that planet, and which has been named Lybia by the Italian astronomer Schiaparelli. But a few years ago a change occurred in the color of “Lybia,” and some of tho observers thought that it must have been suddenly overflowed with water, since it had assumed the color charac teristic of the other regions of Mars that are supposed to be water covered. Other similar changes have been seen by teleecopists on Mars. Now that a new lake has actually been fanned on the earth by the unexjiected filling up with water of a depressed area of dry land, those who believe that a similar occurrence, on a larger scale, has taken place on Mars will probably be strengthened in that intel esting opinion. —Youth’s Companion. Sulbbliug Bean,. Snibbling beans is at this season of the year an evening occupation for Ger man housewives. They are the common string beans, which can be bought by the bag, about two bushels. They are washed and strung, and then, with a very sharp knife or special implement, they are cut into very thin slices and packed in layers in an earthen crock. On each layer of beans is spread a layer of salt, and when the crock is almost full a large plate covers the whole, and is held down by a weight, generally a brick. If brine does not colloct suf ficiently to cover the layers, a little water is added, and the beans are ready for use in the winter. Tho salt that is absorbed must be removed by soaking the beans overnight, when they are ready to be cooked. It is not unusual for housewives to have snibbling par ties, at which their friends and relatives assist in the slicing, refreshments being secondary features of the occasions.— New York Sun.

An Entirely New Edition of By JAMES FENIMORE COOPER. The first and greatest of American novelists was James Fenimnre Cooper. "Ills popuUrUv," says a writer in the Century Magazine, “was cosmopolitan. He was almost as widely remi in liafu r in Germany, and in Italy as in Great Britain ano me United States, only one American i- >k has ever since attained the international su' of these of Cooper's—' Upcle Tom's Cabin,’ ami only one American author, Poe, has since gaiiud a name at all commensurate with Cooper's abroad.1' The great author la dead, but his Channing ro mances still live to delight new generations of readers. “The wind of the lake« and the prattles has not lost its balsam and the salt of the se.t keeps its savor,” says the same writer olmve quoted. Beautiful indeed are Cooper'« stories of the red man and the pioneer, full of incident, in tensely interesting, aitounding tu adventure, yet pure, elevating, manly, and entirely devoid of all the objectionable features of the modern Indian story. No reading could be more wholesome for young or old titan Cooper’s tamoua novels. Au entirely new edition of the Leatherstockmi! Tales ba« just been published, in one large and hand some volume of over three hundred large quarto pages, caatatning all of tbese famous romances, complete, unc/tanped and unabridged, viz.: THE DEERSLA7ER, THEPATHFE^ES, THE LAST OF THE iiOHICAL’S, THE PIONEERS, THE FR/JRIZ.

L Now that the game law is off. our woods will swarm with hunters of all descriptions, from the “cockney” sports man down (or up) to the professional hunter. There are generally four hunt ers to one bird, and we havo known men tramping all day and bringing home two or three little chirping birds. It is this class of hunters who do the most damage, as they are not capable of shooting game birds, and pepper away at any and every little bird they see, till there are hardly any left. Our local hunters say that there will be plenty of game this season. Gen erally speaking we have a fair, mild win ter. very little crust on the snow and but few ice storms. The severe ice storms destroy more quail tliau the hunters kill, because quail generally roost together on tho ground, and if suow falls during the night and crusts over, it simply smothers them. Hunters have found whole flocks of them lying close together, having been unable to penetrate through the crust. There were never so many flocks of quail around as nt present. Go where you will you will find them. A large flock passed over Cu fair ground Wednesday afternoon while the trotting took place, which mades >.:,3 of our hunters’mouths water. Partridge-c also very plenty, and, what last'll ii tier, they are full grown and plump, Of woodcock we have seen but h few. Years ago they were plenty every season in our swamps, but the summer sho eing has killed them off, and but very few bred in our swamps now. The tail flight generally brings a few scattering ones, but as they are a migratory bird and fly principally dur- ng the nighttime, we get but now and ■hen a chance to shoot at theta. There are also plenty of foxi .». and our hunters don’t need to go very far to find them if they only know how, as Reynard is a cunning and sly chap.—Watertown (N. Y.)Oor. Waterbury American.
