The Old Fashion of Furnishing a Duogh-

Tho good old fashion of furnishing a
daughtor with an outlit ot household
linou on her marriage is becoming the
rule in this country. Such an outlit in
cludes table linen, bed linen, and towels,
and etioh piece is usually embroidered in
entwining letters with the bride's maiden
Initials. Thesn initial are not conspio
uouh, but are plaood at one comer of the
slieot or tablo cloth, across the cornor of
the napkin, and in tho center of the
towel just ubove the bonier,
A pure white towel of line huckaback,
fin lulled with one or two-Inch hem
stitched horns, Is preferred to till others
by sensible pooplo, who select a towol for
its absorbent qunlities. Tim majority of
people find a dnmnsk towel uncomfort
ably slippery, whilo others will use noth
ing else, The various Irish faotorios
dealing in fine hni'd-inado linens are
sending out many fancy patterns in
hucknhnck.

A heavy, srnrp weave of huckaback,

Those towols nro $3 to $4 a dozen, nnd
retain their sharpness aftor continual
washing.
A useful and beautiful towel is made in
dingnnnl weavo, and is said to' possess nil

while it Is softer to tho touch, A few
hucknhnck towels, willi a group ot lines

the othor towels on tho rack, or as bureau

Ancient Rmeillos.
Tho old-tiino physician administered
heroic remedies, and Usually U'gan his
treatment of tiny case by opening a vein
in the patient's arm, nnd bleeding him
copiously. Among the directions loft by
him, nimo was more iniorntivo than
that fever put icnts should not lie allowed
cold walor, and he seemed to haven or
foct gonitis for coiup.. muling nnuseous
mixtures. A ..ketch of "The Hundredth
Town" liii'orpoiitted ill Massachusetts
gives soiuu interesting characteristics
and piethods ot Dr. Hull, who practiced
then, in the first part ot this century.
His directions to his put icnts woro do
lighlfully comprehensive.
"T ike a little of this 'ere nnd a littlo of
that air," he would say, "put it in a jug
Is-foro tho lire, stir it up with your littlo
linger, aud take it when you uro warm,
hot, Cold, or feverish."
Olio of his rcciKiH is absolutely nppnll
ing lo the imagination. Here it is, ready
lo lie tested by those who huvo both curi
osity and d hi rage.

going to shoot a bird, you use plenty of
shot. Some of these things ill Is- pielty

moved into town In the old doctor's day,
found nn answer to this illustration.

I'erful Letters.
There nro two sots ot letters v. hich
hnve come to 1h Used so familiarly in

many who employ them freely do not

Jacob Astor, the famous millionaire
merchant of Nr1 Yurk.
Mr, Astor was known to bo 'so honor
able nnd so familiar with all sorts of
mercantile matters In New York that
no was frequently consulted by hi
friends as to the commercial standing or
solvency of other merchants. And if a
nolo of Inquiry was received by him re
lating to tho standing uf one whom he
had good reason to cousldur financially
sound, he wrolo "O. K." on the bottom
of the nolo and promptly sent It bnok.
Being a Uermnn by birth, and, per
haps, not perfectly familiar with the pe
culiar spellluj; ot the Ftiglish language,
Mr, Astor supposed that 0. K."wnnn
abbreviation of "all corroot," which, in
his own mind, he spelled "oil korreot.

"There In uo uinro wonderful scenery
In the world, " said Mr, Marcus Bakr, of
th geological survey, to a reporter,
"than is to be found along the coast of
Alaska, a you go up from Portland by
steamer to Sitka and beyond by the in
side pass age. Only for a Tory imall part
of the way do you feel th oomo. wI!
at all, a continuous archipelago of Island
forming S breakwater for hundred of
mile against the ware ot the Pacific,
while the ! sails In wator smooth as
a mill pond- Along th mainland moun
tain tousaud ot ft hlfc-h tower pre
cipitously up from the son, covered with
dense timber, while here and there a
groat fiord reaches up toward the Inter
ior. The settlement so essential to plo
turesquoness are unhappily lucking, suve
now and thou an Aleut village may bo
een. Upon roaohing Sitka you find
yourself iu a much more cquahl$ climate
than that of lioston, its mean tempera
ture being about the same, thouHii It is
many degrees north of the latter point
Pursuing your way northward, along
the coast, yon see now and then a gla
cier reaching down to the sea. When you
reaoh the Yukon, it It is the proper sea
son, you find countless myriuds of can
vasback ducks disporting themselves.
That stream, together with othor waters
thereabouts, I the great breeding
ground, you know, for canvnsbneks. as
well as for many other sorts of ducks
and geese aud swans. All the canvas
backs which are shot on the Chesa
peake conio from the Yukon and its
neighborhood. This fact has becu es
tablished as a certainty by observation
of their flights from various points, their
aerial course being by way ot the groat
lakes. "
" What 1 the Interior of Alaska like ? "
asked the reporter.
"It is very 'mountainous and so bit
terly cold through nearly all the year,
that nobody lives there save a few
wretched Aleut. The summer oidy lasts
for about two months, during which the
heat in the daytime is apt to be very in
tense, often rising above a hundred de
grees In the shade, drosses and other
plants grow and ripen with enormous
rapidity during the short season, because
they have to if thoy grow at all. In the
winter It is night almost all the time,
while In the summer tho sun hardly has
time to set Isifore it rises again. Alto
gether it is a very weird sort of country.
Tho coast, of course, is kept warm by
the enormous body of walor called the
Pacific ocean.
There tire no snakes in Aluska, per
haps, U'catiso no snakes would live there.
Tlie only frog ever discoved by explorers
there wits found by my rty some years
ago. Prolmbly, however, thero is uo
part of the world whore mosquitoes aro
mora dreadful than Alaska, The soil is
of a soft, spoiigv chnraotur that hold
water for days after a ruin, and the In
sects are bred out of It lu such Bwraius
thnt it is hardly possible for man or any
other animal to exist among them. They
attack the moose with such ferocity as
to drive the beasts into the river, whore
the natives attack them with knives.
Hears and reindeer are plentiful. IVr
lui the worst part of Alaska is that to
tho northwest, south of tlio Yukon river
crossed but once, by a purty of explor
ers, who nearly starved to death on the
nay. The l.i- toiy ot Alaska, is a story
of sutce-sive lea-.'j to fur-gatberiugooiu-pnnies.
When Uussia added it to her em
pire she lot it out in terms of tweuty
years each to such companies, but by
'lrKlu the u buses practiced by tlie fur
concerns bad become so serious that
the matt, r was made an important ques
tion in Kussion politics. They decided In
St. Petersburg that ALudia whs more
trouble than it was worth. Thus it came
nlsuit that Mr. Seward bought it for a
comparatively small price, notwith
standing a very viH-lferims howl that
was raised against tho project, That
was in 1MIIU. A lease of tlio seal islands
for twenty years was at once given to uu
American company. This lease having
expired, tho snmo company is seeking
its renewal, nnd as you know, the pro
position is being earnestly antagonized
iu tlie Senate. "

A strnngo and really dramatic situa
tion is ono ilesciils'.l by the author of
"Obeall," a littlo book which treats of
West Indian lifo. Insects nnd reptiles
nro abundant in the West Indi.-s, and one
toon gets well acquainted with cortuiu
small, bright green liamds. which nro
perfectly harmless and very lively. Tbeso
little orenture aro quite tame, nnd when
caught by the tail they slip awny leaving
that apiKjiulngo Miind llietii.
I was once sitting on the veranda,
watching a little green lizard darling
about after tho flies. It became Iwld.
nnd in one of Its quick movements
Jumped on niv foot. I made u sudden
snatch, and caught tho littlo fellow by
the tail. Giving u wriggle he darted otf,
having that portion ot his pros'rty in
my hands, ami, having no uu tor it, I
dropped it on tlio floor uud resumed my
book.
Presently I looked down, and saw that
a lot ot ants bad found tho piece of tall,
and wcro hurrying oft" with their treas
ure as fast a they could. When they
has dragged it almost to their liolo, I
noticed my littlo groeu friend, a tow
Inches awny, Intently eyeing his missing
property. The ants woro just giving a
final pull Inward their nest, when the
lizard suddenly made a dart iihiii them,
seized his bit ot tail, aud swallowed it
with evident gusto.
