Her education was limited to the common schools and pri vate instruct ions, ami Unified at the age of .". She was also a "sehoolniarm" for a time prior to h'i- marriage with Lyman Rollins, vhieh occurred in Concord, July 4, ISTA. By this union she had one son, Lyman Rollins, born July (i, 1S.V, and now a resident of Con cord, lb r nuband and three only brothers ai: 1 on;- bro?. her-ia-law served during the ..i, .v- HiAi w.Vo h.vuv.i -aolv uncharged. r.Ir.

T I.,d:ss-;e the Scottish Ilite Temple in Iikiia::aj)'.lss Other Items. The fk-ottWi Pate was instituted in Indiau- n polls in !!. and for ten years occupied a small suit ot rooms m John's block. In 1S73 more commodious quarters were secured in ilaldwin's block, and in another decade they too were found hisu'licient to meet the wants .t the order. In ly:j another change was made to the present Scottish Rite temple, winch was creeled and fit ted no as a home for the rite in Indiana. It was then thought to be adequate for its accommodation for many years P come, but in less than another ten years there is need for m re room. Ad dition,!! ground, has been purchased for the enlargement of the temple. There is an in debtednes.s of ::.u(JO on this property, and more money is needed for the proposed im provements. A Iau by issuing stock was submitted at the annual reunion, and met .with such favor that ?dN,000 of stock was taken in 1 ss than one hour. It is considered a good invesi nient, and inashort time enough wiii be taken to do all that is contemplated. The Scottish Kite work of Indianapolis, un der the direction of Ills. Bro. N. II. Ruckle, deputy for Ind! ma, is attracting much at tention for excellence and elaborateness. The recent death, at Portsmouth, N. H., of John (Juristic, age Ki, removed one of the best known Masons in New England. Mr. Christie was past.- worshipful grand master Mason of New Hampshire and was the oldest living oilicer of that rank in the state. He was past master of St. Andrew's and St. John's lodges, past high priest of Washington chapter, past grand high priest and grand rajah of the Arch chapter of the state of New Hampshire, and past right eminent fraud commander of the grand commandery of the state, and was the oldest active mem ber of the thirty-third degree of the ancient and accepted Scottish rite in the world. The grand chapter of Connecticut has no mileage and per diem expense, and yet at the last annual convocation every chapter but one answered to roll call, and that one will be fined unless good excuse is given. The returns from the subordinate cora manderies K. T. throughout the United States show that during the past three years i;,s77 applicants have been knighted, and that the entire membership of the order is T-VdS. Pennsylvania has the largest uiern Wnhip (S,:0), New York being second (S,li7) and Missouri seventh (3,035). RED MEN. Short Talks of Ai! Kinds A Tribe to Con. set Wholly of Masons. The ipplu ation for a tribe in Boston to be composed entirely of Masons has now over 10:) names of the leading Masons of the city, d J. II. Odeil, the organizer, has promises liv,:n as many more. J.

Perhaps many of our readers do not appre ciate hovr easily some of the graceful flowers and pods and brilliant berries of autumnal plants can he preserved to give brightness and a touch of nature's own beauty to the home in winter Golden rod, for instance, can be kept for a long time by gathering per fect specimens and hanging them away in a dark closet. Many handsome "marsh grasses and the lovely and artistic oat-tails should bo gathered and kept in the same way. Other things that contribute much to beau tiful winter decorations and dried bouquets are the fluffy, soft and shining balls, or pom pons, that can be made from milkwee 1 pods. To make these milkweed balls, open the pod carefully, take out the silky filaments, and after shaking the seeds off dip the little bunches of filaments into water to prevent their flying about; gather them all upas skill fully as you can and tie in small bunches and then fasten on to a wire stem. These balls are very dainty and pretty. The beautiful mountain ash berries nnd barberries are preserved for winter decora tion in a brine of two hamlfuls of salt to about three pints of water. Boil the brine, and when cold put in the berries and tie up tightly to exclude the air. Old Fashioned Cider Apple Sauce. Mrs. S. D. Power gives a recipe for making the old fashioned cider apple sauce that used to be a favorite dainty prepared in large quantities in the fall for family use during winter in many country households. It differs from apple jtter in that no spices go into it to impair i3e high fla vored apples of which it should be made, and the quartered apples are not boiled to pulp, but simply pre served in the clear sirup of condensed cider. Boil down sweet cider to one-fourth or one fifth its quantity and add solid, sub-acid apples, pared, cored and quartered, with one fourth their weight of sugar. Coil them very slowly till they look lucid, without losing their shape; take out carefully with a wooden skimmer without breaking and boil t he sirup till it is thick ; then pour it over the apples. A very few quinces siev ed soft in a little water are sometimes added, and give a flavor that is liked by some persons. Novel Fancy Work. Pretty and quite new in fancy work is the use of the ribbons that come tied around packages of cigars. A number of artistic things can be made with these cigar ties. Sewed together lengthwise they form a very dainty light silken scarf, the vvidth of the scarf being the same as the length of the ribbon or ties, which must be nicely hemmed at the ends; the scarf is finished with a fringe of the ribbons doubled. Handsome little bags for various purposes are formed of these ribbons basted on a lining, with the edges caught to gether b cat stitching of some attractive, contrasting color. The cigar ties themselves vary from pale yellow to dark orange, with some of red or red and orange. Another fashion of utilizing them is to fringe out one edge of the ribbons and knit them into sachets, small cases for gloves, handkerchiefs, etc. WINDOW CURTAIN MADE OF CIGAR TIES. The cut represents a part of a window cur tain made in this way: The narrow yellow' or red silk bands are first ironed out and made up in squares by sewing them together lengthwise. These squares are edged with red or blue ribbons, and some applique orna mentation placed in the centers. They are then made up into curtains by intersections and borders of openwork guipure lace, as our illustration shows. The light transmitted through the fine silk and lace produces a pe culiarly soft effect. Table Fashions and Fancies. Very pretty tablecloths and serviettes for 5 o'clock tea are those embroidered a la Russe or marking stitch. Some Japanese and Egyptian menus are quaint, the latter apparently printed in color on torn parchment. In place of tall celerv glasses, formerlv in fashion, are provided a variety of horizontal shapes cn w hich the celery stalks are laid. Similar shapes are also furnished for a!"f!kra- gus, while tiny little dishes with folding sides are provided for after-dinner coffee spoons. Individual cream and sugar receptacles of cut glass are a delight to the housekeeper' heart. New trays in ice cream sets, celery trays, etc., in Parisian designed fine cut glass, are being displayed in many patterns. Tennis player. , in white and gold, represented in bisque figures, are new and pretty, and will ulease the lovers of the game. Fads in Servins Summer Delicacies. There are various elegant fails in the way of serving the luscious fruits of the season. A most tempting and delicious dish is made of alternate kvyers of sliced peach, orange, pineapple, banana and muskmelon, with a cup if wine oured over it, powdered sugar sprinkled lightly on and the top clotted ovei with fresh berries. Blackberries are a delicacy when served in j little blocks of ice hollowed out to contain a portion for one person. A folded napkin i--wrapped around the block of ice, which is set on a dessert or ice cream plate. Wined melon represents a deliHitfnl i. vation. The iced canteloupe is passed around 1 followed by sherry or white wine, of udder' I each guest pours a dash over the fruit to give j it the desired flavor Canteloupes are also served in halves filled with punch or ice cream. Profound Melancholy. "It's hard to be left here alone," said Simp kins, whose wife had gone away for tht summer, "very hard." "Seems kind o' lonesome, does it?" "Yes; intensely lonesome. Every thhi" around me seems to wear an air of lueiair cuoly." " Yes; I notice it. Even that boftlA nn t hQ Uer Paris Detectives. .

This force was first founded by the famous Yidoei i;i ISJ'J, when it only comprised thirty-one men, to whom were added fourteen "outsiders," who were called indicateiU's, In 1818 the body was increased to i'JO men, being afterward reduced to sixty, until it was at last brought up to U-.-i present redoubtCsble nuitiher of .'i(H) "i!'.s.-ect-oi's," who urn directed by M.

A Few Superstit ions. To allay hemorrhage, a toad, well dried in the sun and put into a bai washuno- round the neck by a strino; sulnciently low to touch the" region of the heart; and a preparation of garlic and honey smeared on the person was said to act as a charm against the bites of dogs and reptiles, or the sting of munerous insects, likewise eiFeet ing their cure. Toothache could bo charmed away by a few leaves of the "shepherds purse," placed in the sole of the shoe on the reverse side of the body to that in which the tooth was aching-. An excellent recipe for weak or sore eyes was the expressed juice of ine calyx or Ine red honeysuckle, pro vided always that the flowers were gathered 1: viieeiing, repeating nine paternosters in honor of the Trinity, nine more "to yreet Our Ladye," and a creed. Rest and sleep were "required after application. Another prescription for the eyes much in favor with the Anglo-Saxons was a paste made of the .strawberry plant and pepper, diluted with sweet wine. Children were passed through the split stem of a tree for the cure of the rickets, but the fracture must be afterwards bound up suilieiently tight to insure cohesion. For ague a very well salted herring, split open, was applied, as hot as possible, to the soles of the feet. It might also be mitigated , by the habitual wearing round the ; necK ot an emerald a gem equally potent in epilepsy. Precious stone's were accredited with marvelous powers over the moral qualities and alfec tions, as well as physical disease hence the origin of their being set in rings and worn. The teeth of old age were tixed (irmly in tiie gums by an infusion of powdered jet; while water in which the beryl had been steeped afforded a valuable wash for strengthening- the eyes, besides insuring "the mutual love of a wedded couple. Hospital. Curious Things in Jersey. At Long Branch, Ashury Park and Ocean Grove layers of marl run far out into the ocean. One of the beds contains many pieces of petrified wood, fossil teeth and casts from clam shells. After all heavy storms the fossils are thrown upon the beach. Within the last two months several remarkably fine fossil shark teeth have been found. One of them is perfect, more than four inches loip-, ana weighs ball a pound. Several fine specimens of fossil teeth of the mailed sturgeon and the devil fish have been secured by curiosity hunters. D- If- WTortman, of Long Branch, has a curiosity. It is a hard tack cracker served to him one day in lbG3, while he was at the front 'as a member of the Thirtieth regiment, New Jersey volunteers. It is still hard.

The Hydraulic Top Inhibited at the Paris Imposition, Which Is in Fact a Water rump on a Siiall Scale and an Auiuslus Scientific Toy. The hydraulic top represented in the cut is described in Popular Science News as fol lows: It outwardly resembles an ordinary top, furnished with a cup shaped holder (D), on which it is placed while spinning. The holder is covered with rubber on t he bottom, to prevent the motion of the top from dis placing it. When the holder is placed in a deep dish filled with water, and the top sot j spinning up-' : ' through the n it, a una stream (ft water How? throuvh the top, aim is thrown out above like a miniature fountain, to a height of two or three feet. i.& t A HVD'.IAL'UC TOP. The simple interior construction of the top is shown in the illustration. The body (A) is hollow, forming a reservoir (Tl), With an opening at the bottom, which dips be' ne.xfh the surface of the water. The central axis, or spindle, around which the top rer volves, is hollow and provided with a iiorfr, zontal tube C), extending nearly to the sidi of the reservoir. Attached to the inside of) the reservoir, and revolving with it, are twpi little metal wings, or propeller blades mot; shown in the engraving!, which, by their ms i i tion, force the air in the reservoir through;! the tubes (C, D), creating a part ial vacuimrj ! and drawing tiie water in the di -li up into) ! the top and through the tubes. This hydrau-- j lie top, which first appeared at the Paris exd ' position, is, in fact, a water pump on a small; i scale, and is an instructive and amusing scientific toy. The E.yes of Great Men. An oculist who has made the human eye study for many years claims that the t'hof! oughbred American eye is steel blue in eoioj He says: "Among the people of higher civils-l zation eyes grow lighter in hue, and there atfe today far more blue eyed persons than tjiee were a century ago. If you will bo at paiijs to inquire the color of the eyes of Bismarct;, Gladstone, Huxley, Virchow, Buchuer, Re nan in fact, of any of the living great, as well as of the great army of the dead who in life distinguished themselves, you will learn that most of them have, or had, eyes of bhja or gray.

In the upper basin all the principal geysers were in simul taneous activity, and the escape of steam and gases was said to be terrific. An unusually se vere storm was raging on the Atlantic coast, 2,000 miles away, at the time, and this fact vras telegraphed all over the country as the cause of the outbreak, although Popular Sci ence News thinks there was probably not 1 lie slightest connect ioji between them. The ac tiviry of th goy-ars is constantly varying in intensity, and depends upon causes at present unknown to us. The International Congress on II jpnotin.

I A Chicago lawyer, formerly a judge in (Texan, tells the following story of an expe- rience in that state: j 1 was practicing law in Bosque county, ,Tex., and acting justice of the peace, just 'after the "six shooter" law had been passed. The law was very severe, the lightest peualty for a violation being a fine of ST) and confis cation of the weapon. Ollicers all over the state were enforcing the law rigidlv, espe ; cially in the country, as half the fine was given the officer who arrested an offender. One day I was holding court in a little schoolhouse, trying a neighborhood case, with about forty or fifty men present. I was just about to adjourn court when there rode in lrontof a little clump of trees one of the most insignificant looking little men 1 ever saw.
