Pitviil, with his uncle and sister, bad ridden far in tit lie Italsam mountain of North Carolina ono day, leaving tho br'dle-path behind thorn anil pushing thi'ir way through tlm underbrush of laurel nml rowan, when u storm over took them 'Thero should he a hut on tho bunk of this at ream," said her uncle, "if my memory iloes not fail me." I see it," said lavM. "I!ut it Is more like a piggery than a dwelling for human beings, like most of the houses of these mountaineers." "These mountaineer are a kindly, honest folk, whatever their houses may lie, and 1 am never afraid to claim a welcome, which 1 cannot always say of those who live in the cities," his uncle retorted. Tlie-welcome in this case, was given cordially. The hut was Imilt of logs, between which were wide cracks; tho rain heat in and ran down the Hour. "I like a plenty ot air," said their hostess, piling up logs on the henrlh. Her bed was a mattrassof husks -it filled one corner, a rough pino table another; a heap of sacks full of roots lay piled near the door. The cooking utensils were a coffee pot and two iron frying-pans. The wo.nan stirred some corn-meal with water, filled one of the pans, put on tho lid, and covered it with hot tishes; tho other hold a siz zling mass of fat pork. ."Yes, we're very comfortable," sho said, proudly, observing Polly's curious glance, "(iot everything snug and genteel. I'd be powerful sorry to live like some folks." David followed his uncle out to the covered shed, where he sat looking at the pelting storm. "I never supposed any human being lived in such soli tude," he exclaimed. "Why she has not left the mountain for twenty years; she never has seen a town larger than tho village of Waynesville she did not know there was any larger." "Still it is impossible for any living beings to shut themselves off from their kind. If you look a little farth er, you will bo surprised to find how widely connected this poor lame creat iro is with tho rest of tho world. "This colfee, which is making such a comfortable smell just now, came to her from the far-olT llrails; black bearded mulattos picked it for her on the shores of the Amazon; other slaves in the West Indies grew her the pep per which she is sifting on tho meat; Knglish mill-hands in Manchester wo70 her Sunday calico gown; mild t'ved Chinaman gave her tea; even this hen clucking at my fert came from eggs from I'oland. "There Is scarcely a State in the Un ion which has not its part in this poor little hut. Here Is an axe; Pennsylva nia gave the iron, Connecticut the handle. Here is sugar from Louisiana, rice from tJeorgia, bhoes from Massa chusetts." "Tho world is very liberal to the old woman," said David laughing. "She ought to give something in exchange." "Perhaps she does. We will look Into that presently. I told you that we were all closely bound together. In a well furnished city house there is scarcely a country in the world which is not represented, if you choose to search it out. You ask what the old woman sends back. Come, let us ask her. What is in the bag, for example?" "Roots Angelica." promptly re sponded their hostess. "Pays eight cents in the pound, delivered in the village yonder. The doctors use it in the Xorth to cure nervous peoplo. That next bag Rut set up. set up; dinner's ready. Fall to, young folks; there's plenty of it, such as it is," hos pitably urging gtoat chunks of hot jon nycake on them and delicious yellow butter. David and Polly "fell to" with a good will "The other bag, you were about to tayV" suggested their uncle. "Ob jet; gipseng. 1 gather heaps of that 'ere. My son takes it to -the store, and it is shipped to. New Yftirk, and from there to China. Them. poor heathen will pay its weight in gofld for some kinds of ginseng. I don't know what they do with it though." "(Joing to China?" David said, looking respectfully nt the sack. "The Chinese believe that it gives fresh life to mind and body; cures all' kinds of disease. They mix it with dried caterpillars to give to tho insane people, and with powdered tigers' skulls for the cure of grief." Polly laughed. "And what is in that smaller sack?" she asked. "That is another root that goes with tho ginseng to China. It has a pleas ant sine!', but I don't know the name." "They burn it before their josses, to insure themselves long life." "There is a iieer gummy stuff in aJ bottle yonder. Does.it go to China';" asked Polly. 'No; that's balsam. It's the gum of these trees outside, with the black trunks. You're nigh livo thousand feet above the sea. They won't grow no lower. They're a jnighty proud tree; and the chestnuts -and oaks and sech like can't, grow so Mgh. so you'll notice on most of these mountings a barren strip between themvhar t liar's nothing green." "Hut the bottle of gum? Is it lined, for mucilage?" asked Davio. "No. no," cried Polly, whohad put the bottle to her nose. "I haw swell ed this often in cough medicines ami plasters and cures for burns." "What keen little eyes and moso you have, Polly," said her brother, for ev erything but books. Is alio right uncle?" Yes. Although the balsam comrion ly used in medicine comes from JJus sia. Tho supply from these mountains is very small. It sells high ';" turning to the woman. "Ten dollars a quart here, and more cf you kerry it to town, oh, tliar's a fortune in balsam! Hear-skins is worth a powerful sight of money, wolf-skins not quite so much. My baby (1 call him my baby, though he is twenty-one, belli' the youngest ), he look dow n some peltry yesterday. Har, wolf, deer, coon and boomer. They ilo tell me ladies up North have them bigger skins to cover their coachmen's feet; but 1 don't believe it. They've surely got wit to know what lino bed-spreads they make." The children by this time had fin ished their dinner. "Here are some strange-looking yel'ow stones," said Polly, with an inquiring glance. "Oh, them rocks? Y'oti see a man was around hyar prospectin' for mines and he left word with my boy to look out for sech rocks as that, and mark the place. Expect to find gold, I reckon ?" "Something more valuable than gold. This is yellow corundum." "What Is it used for?" "This corso kind is ground to make emery, which Polly sharpens her need les with. Tho liner corundums are the sappiro and oriental ruby." "Oh"' cried Polly breathlessly. "Do you mean that rubies are to be found here hre ?" "One was found in the next county worth six thousand dollars," .-aid tho mountaineer. "1 suppose the folks that livo in towns couldn't get along very well without us North Carlin yans," smiling. "We send 'em lumber and iron and ohl and medicine, and even rings for their lingers." The rain had ceased, and they bade her a cordial good by, and rode away. "Instead of being in a solitude, she is quite in the centre of things," said David laughing. "I told you that wo wero all tied to gether by line cords," said his uncle; "you are just beginning to find out how many of them there are." Youth's Ciiiitininii. Why They Blushed. In one of New York's largest oil houses is employed a boy somewhat under size, whose duties are to keep the oftice clean and make himself use ful. One day the senior member of the firm happened to chaff the little fellow about being so small, and said to him: "You will never amount to much, you are too small." The little fellow looked up from the work he was doing and said: "Small as I am I can do something that no one else about this place can do." "Oh, what is that!" asked his em ployer. "I don't know as I ought to teli you," he replied. Hut the employer being anxious to know urged him to tell what he could do that no one else about the place was able to do. "I can keep from swearing," said the little fellow. There was a blush on more than one face present, and no anxiety for further information from tho very small boy. Travillin; in 1700, From a paper on "Social Life in the Colonies," by Edward Egglcston, in the Century, wo quote the following: "The Virginia planter of the richer sort, who was said to livo with more show and luxury 'than a country gen tleman in England on an estate of three or four thousand pounds a year,' showed a strong liking for the stately six-horso coach, with postilions ; but it, was not until 172"that wheeled car riages were recognized in tho legal price-list of tho Virginia ferries. In the other colonies, also, the coach was valued as a sign of official or family dignity, nnd some of the richer Caro linans carried 'their luxury so far as to have carriages, horses, coachmen and all, imported from England; but in Carolina, and everywhere north of Virginia, the light open 'chair' or the covered chaiso was generally pre ferred. These were better suited to tho roughness and sinuosity of the roads than tho coach. The chaiso was a kind of two-wheeled gig, having a top, and drawn sometimes by one, and sometimes by two horses ; the chair had two wheels but no top, the sulky, which was much used, differed from the chair chiefly in having room tor but one person. All these seem to have been hung on straps, or thorough, braces, instead of springs. Host on ladies in the middle of the eighteenth century took tho air in chaises or chairs, with negro drivers. Hoston gentlemen also affected negro attend ants when they drove their chairs or rode on saddle horses. Cut In rural regions, from Pennsylvania north ward, ladies took delight in driving about alone in open chairs, to the amazement of European travellers, who deemed that a paradise in which women could travel without protec tion. Philadelphians were fond of a long, light, c ivcred wagon, with benches, which would carry a dozen persons in an excursion to the coun try. Sudan chairs wero occasionally used in the cities. The Dutch intro duced sleighs into New York at a very early date ; but sleighs for pleasuro though known in Hoston about 17iK only came into general us" in the northern provinces at a somewhat la ter period. The First stage wagon in tho colonies was run from Trenton to New Jtrunswiok, twice a week, during tho summer of lTo. It was a link in thn tedious land and water journey from Philadelphia to New York, and travellers were promised that it would bo 'fitted up with benches, and covered over, so that passengers may sit easy and dry.'" Col lose Expenses. The following is from the New York 31 nil ail ! .'.iivw: . The annual expense of a course nf study at old Howd.iin is from f:i ti: S'H It is not fashionable there 1c be extravagant. An Amherst college student can finish the courso at a cost of $:." ;i year, and at the outside it need not cost him over f lrti"n'. The expenses at Vassar college run from $-'H to $1imii a year. The girls have no football teams or rowing 1 1 ul to support. s Drown University is rather expen sive. A scholar can spend $ I'.'tKt if he wants to, but the actual expenso need not exceed :i.'io A student at Yale college can pay ill his real expenses with $!"" a year.aml yet $:!00i can bo expended in so-called legitimate expenses. t no of the cheapest colleges to at tend in this country is at lieloit, Wis. Hoard is $l..V)a week, and it is almost impossible for a student to spend mor than ."Oa year. Yale, Harvard and Columbia col leges are the most expensive institu tions in this country. The minimum expenses are from $ l"t to filmi, while tho maximum are put at (.'MX). Tho exjenso of an education at Cor nell is not large in comparison with other institutions of learning. A student can spend lliNfnr his legiti mate expenses, but f:ji)i will covet them, provided he is economical. The Arc tie Trinmphe. The Arc do Triompho in the Place dei'Etoilo, Paris, under which the re mains of Victoi Hugo lay in state, owes its existence to Napc.leon I., whn decreed its erection in 1Si! to cele brate the victories of the French under the republic and the empire. It is the largest triumphal arch in Europe, being 152 feet high, F7 feet broad and tiS feet deep. The height of the principal arch is ;K) feet. Its cost was about il'HbW. and it was thirty years in completing, being finished in 1ST!. There are various groups of co lossal statuary, ami Fame surmounts tho whole, while History is occupied in recording his deeds. The interior is ascended by winding staircases, which lead into several large halls. After mounting 201 steps the top is reached, from which one of the best views ol Paris is sained. i AliSIXTIIK AS A liKVF.RAGK The Dendly Drink Growing in Popularity. i A Fastor's Fruitions Btruagle Against I the So'Jnctivo French Liquor. A well dressed stranger of middlo 'age, wearing a haggard, care worn I look on his rather handsome counte nance, walked into a popular Market street sample room at noon yesterday, lie bore the indescribable air of a man who had "put in the night," and ex- hibited a restless impatience in wait--; ing on the pleasure of the bartender. I His order when given was almost i whispered, accompanied by a signiil j cant nod. The bartender took an or dinary sized llask from tlio shelf behind him, and picking up a tiny spiral glass, holding about a drachm, 1 carefully filled it. This glass In turn : was emptied into an ordinary wine glass fillod with water. On the top of j the compound a greenish scum accum ulated, which was carefully removed with a spoon. The beverage was then handed to tho customer, who eagerly gulped it down, and paving tho charges left the room. In answer to :t question from the reporter, the bar lender said the drink was absinthe, a French liquor, which iS rapidly grow ing into popularity in this country. In answer to a query as to the amount Irank in Wheeling, tho bartender inswcred that the calls for either '.hat particular beverage, or any other Taney drink of a kindred nature, were comparatively few, straight drinks laving a tenacious grip on the appo Ite of tho greater portion of uiir Wheeling people. Later in the day the reporter met a prominent young physician, and find ing him at leisure secured the follow ing information in reference to the 3rigin of the liquor: Absinthe is pre pared by pounding the leaves and Dowering tops of various species of worm wood along with angelica root, sweet tlag root and staranise fruit, ml macerating these in alcohol. After soaking for eight days the com pound is distilled, yielding an emerald colored liquor, to which a quantity of anise oil is added. The liquor thus formed constitutes the genuine French absinthe. An inferior quality of absinthe is made with other herbs and essential oils, while the adulterations practised are numerous and deleterious. In the adulterated liquor the green color is usually produced by t imerie and indi go, but blue vitriol is often commonly used. The vareities especially noted in commerce are divided into two clssses, the common and tho Swiss, the latter being genuine. The chief seat of its manufacture is in the can ton of Ncufchatel, in Switzerland. Tho liquors are chiefly consumed in France.biit there is also large quantities exported to this country. In addition to the largo quantities manufactured in France for home consumption, the amount imported from Switzerland averages 2,ihmi,i.h.H) gallons yearly. The drinking of absinthe was introduced in France during the Algerian war 11 -lst7. The soldiers were advised to mix absinthe with their wine as a febrifuge. tin their return they brought with them the habit ol drink ing it, which is now so widely dissem inated in French society, and with such disastrous consequences that the custom is justly considered a great national evil. The appetite is often formed by prescriptions given by phy sicians, as the drug is often given as a tonic for flatulent dyspepsia: but in my opinion there is as little danger of a man forming tho habit if ho is pos sessed of ordinary self control as that if a prescription of brandy should cause him to become a habitual drunk ard. The powciful nature of tho stimulant is such that excessive drink ing will prove far more deleterious than the use of brandy or strong whis keys. In excessive drinking there is first tho feeling of exaltation peculiar to a state of intoxication. The in creasing dose necessary to create this effect destroys the digestive organs, and consequently the appetite of the victim. An appeasable thirst follows, with giddiness, tingling in the ears, halluci nation of the sight and hearing, con stant mental oppression and anxiety, loss of brain power and eventually idiocy. The symptoms in the caso of a tippler commence with muscular quiverings and decrease of physical strength, the hair drops off and tho victim becomes emaciated, wtinkled and sallow, horrible dreams and delu sions constantly haunt the unfortunate and are followed by paralysis which lands him in his grav e. There have been several instances in this city that came under my view of Indies who are slaves of this habit, fine in particular is fast breaking down under the steady drain on her physical force-. She is wealthy, and has several times been treated with a view toward relieving her of the spec tre which haunts her, but tho attempts have been unsuccessful, as her will power is completely gone. There is an instance, too, of an old gentleman in this city, who several years ago began the habit, and constantly toyed with the drug until h" has become a slave to tho habit. We had nn in stance hero several years ago of a popular divine who catered to bis ap- petite till one day he was discovered in an anteroom of his church in a : state bordering on idiocy, lie ac-ept- j ed a call to adistant city shortly after, j and thestorv of bis misfortune never , came out. He was an exceptionally brilliant man. of strung and determin ed countenance, and tho last man in world one would judge could give away to tho cravings of his appetite. There would have been several other I instances in addition to those above recited, among them a former resident of the city who several years ago j migrated East, but died shortly I after reaching his new home. His ! death was undoubtedly caused or hastened by the drug, of which he had been a constant tippler a year previ j mis to his departure. The drug in its crude stato is principally derived from j absinithiim, a plant indigenous to Northern Africa. Asia and the greater j part of Europe. It has also been j transplanted to this country, where il grows rapidly and whero it has been cultivated extensively for medicinal purposes. -H7o linj (If. V.) iV;s. tcr. Sayings oT Kt'i. Snm .lone.

' A Dish which is Very Fash- ' lonnhle in China. j Another Oriental Tidbit in tho Slinpe of j Worms from Decayed TVp.ih. j In the gastronomicnl calendar, the Chinese have their seasonable fashions, m well as their white cousins on this lido of the great waters. Among the teasonable a'ld fashionable foods of Northern China, perhaps the most welcomed of all is the locust. In the icason of supply of that dainty insect, everybody, rich and pour, lias an equal show for a delicious feed. Although, sometimes, the locusts are a very disas trous visitation to the farmer's crops, he has bin vengeance upon them, and a chance to get his grain back with com pound interest. Either through ven geance of fashion, the Chinese always made it almost a religious duty to eat, locust in the fall of the year. Indeed, so fond of them are (im people of all classes, tint they are sold, roasted, by venders during the season at as high as one cash each. The children, espec ially, are fond of them, and to the corner street Mands to buy i ;i iti'.l lo cust, just a i tho Am-'i icin children buy roasted peanuts, .- lid s'-mii to en joy them even more. To have locust on toa d in Northern China is almost as lashionahlo as quail on toilet in Amer.ci. This is how they are prepared: -Take a bag full of fattened locust, a'uio t red with age, dump them into a hot v. it, cover them quickly, when they are dead throw in a handful or more of salt. Koa-it them by constantly stirring just as the Ita'.ians roast their chest nuts until thev become well done and ei Nil.

On the approach of the up or down train they wait till the engine is within a few yards, when, with th" utmost coolne-s, they simply jump on one side till the train has passed, and then resume tlvir work.
