SCALPERS AND SCALPING. & Business Which Has Reached Vast Preportions. HOW THE TICKET BROKERS ATTRACT THE TRAVEL- IN@ PUBLIC. ‘From the New York Times. Thirty year’ ago, when R. C. Stevenson, a Young man with more enterprise than. capital. opened an obscure office in the city of Pittsburg, ‘Pa., for the sale of railroad tickets at reduced rates, he did not dream that hig small beginning would reach the large proportions which the business azzregates to-day. Few persons have an adequate conception of the extent of the in- terest and the influence it wields. The offices of the brokers, as they are pleased to title them- selves, are usually unpretentious places, but at all seasons of the year are scenes of bustling ac- tivity. ‘The general public knows absolutely nothing about tie scalpers’ business. In the frst place, poose that the brokers make their ¥ lling tickets which they buy from private individnals. This is not so. Many of the Tailroads give commissions to the scalpers to sell tickets for them, and others sell them tick— ets by the hundred atadiseount. If all brokers were tricksters the railroads would probably have nothing to do with them. One broker in this city buys thousands of dollars’ worth of tickets ‘at a time and «ives his note to secure yment forthem. The question might be asked, incentive is there for the railroads to deal with brokers? Upon this point bangs ticket erage. There are railroad lines that enjoy natural advantages often so great that other roads running to the same general centers can- Rot compete with them. The first are called the “popular routes,” and, unless the other roads could offer special inducements they would fare Poorly. The less favored lines, in order to obtain ashare of the business, seli the brokers tickets ata Feasonable discount or give them commissions outright. The brokers are thus enabled to afford better rates over their lines than over the popular routes, which are sure of a certain amount of business and will seldom make terms with the scalpers. Travelers, if they can get a low rate. care little as arule which line they take, and they will invariably go the cheapest way. Startling as it’ may seem, it is neverthe- less true that the brokers in New York supply more than one-half of the tickets to through passengers for Chicago and other points in the West, and it is plain to be seen how great a help they may be toa line that labors under disad- vantages. In railroad parlance the “preference” of the scalpers is worth courting. Take New York for instance. The Central and Pennsyl- yania roads are “‘popular routes.” The Erie and the Baltimore and Ohio are not so wellsituated, and by enlisting the brokers they obtain a vast amount of trafic that would otherwise go to the other roads. They have nothing to lose by t arrrangement and everything to gain. Their cars are comfortable, their roadbeds are smooth, and their trains are fast, but their Toutes are not so advantageously situated, and their facilities are not so great. The western roads rely very largely on brokers for business, and they make better terms with them than the werful and more independent eastern lines. wus it ix, perhaps, that the popular routes are °7 to brokers. The discount given where tickets are bonght is from 10 to 25 per cent. from the regular rates, and the commission where they are sold by the scalpers as agents of the company is from 10 to 20 per cent. During the piping ‘times of peace there is more money in the business, except where binding “agree- ments ” exist, than when wars are in progress. In strife the railroads make nothing, and they cannot afford to increase a dead loss by givin: discount or commissions. Just at present an agreement exists among the creat trunk lines, and they have cut off the brokers, The western Ines, however, continue to make a reduction to the dealers who are able to cut under the regular t was in progress last summer many of the railroa in the west issued orders to passengers going east forreturn tickets to be obtained in New York. The scalpers bought large numbers ofthese, and held them until the tise in price. been proved. asthey are now doubling the money | on the investment. The business is almost en- j tirely in limited tickets good for continuous trips | only. The railroads will not sell the uulimited | tickets in quantities, and besides, as they cannot | be purchased at as good figures, the sealpers do | Rot care to deal in them. People unaccustomed to dealing with brokers do not understand the Tebate system, and are apt to be distrustful when asked to pay full fare and receive the difference at the destination. There are two reasons for the use of the rebate or drawback voucher. One isto “guard the rate.” In other words, if a broker sold a straight ticket for less than the regular price the buyer could take it to the of- fice of the railroad company and obtain the face value tor it. Theother is when the ticket extends beyond the destination of the traveler purehas- ing it. The ticket brokers have correspondents in every city who pay the rebate. The ticket ex- tending beyond the end of the journey of the pas- senger is almost invariably limited and is there- fore worthless unless used in a certain time. To make sure that the holder of a ticket purchased in New York. and good to Kansas City, would take it imuediately upon his arrival in Cleve— | Jand.Ohio, his destination. to the correspondent of the broker of whom it was bougat. the fare of the full distance is required. When such a ticket is sold in New York the seller telegraphs to his correspondent in Cleveiand, who finds a buyer to take the ticket on arrival and continue the journey on it. If there were nothing to bind passenger to secure the broker, the latter Would lose a great deal in thismanner. A “rate- book” is issued once a month and distributed among the brokers throuzhout the Union,ziving | the prices which shall be paid for ticketsand the | Prices at which they shall be sold. Tickets pur- chased from individuals do not comprise one- quarter of thebusiness. The profits are so small that this branch alone would not support adeal- er. Brokers have become chary of buying tickets in quantities of persons, as they may be stolen or obtained by fraud. The other day a man oy a brakeman offered a bundle of tickets | for | points on the Central railroad at the | office of one of the scalpers. The scalper re- | fased to purchase at =“ price and reported the Incident at the general office of the railroad | ot the ao A rule recently added to the by-laws of tl kers’ Association makes it Incumbent | on the members to break up operations of this | sort by refusing to buy under suspicious ciréum- stances and informing the managers of railroads that may suffer by tue dishonesty of employes. | Several ers have been expelled from the as- | fociation for engaging in questionable and fraudulent transactions. There are dishonest men in this business as well as others, but the upright ones say they are trying to drive them out. The brokers sell steamer as well as rail- Toad tickets. This part of the business is con- ducted in the same manner as the other, but it not amount to nearly as much in dollars | and cen: Steamers that run in opposition to railroads will usually make greater reductions to the sculpers than the rail routes. The business of the leading broker of this city last year amounted to $1,000,000 in round figures. Besides having 000 invested, he buys larzely with his paper. Where he uses | money directly is in byying heavy stocks of unlimited tickets in wars when they are low and holding them until rates go up. All brokers bought heavily last summer when down to one-third the regular prices, as they knew fall well that the unprofitable strife could continue no creat length of time. If it were not for this precaution they would now be in a bad strait, inasmuch as commissions and discounts shave been cut off on all easteru lines. This state of thi they believe. however, cannot last long. and they look for an early return of the privileges that they have hitherto enjoyed. Precisely how or where the term “sealpers” | originated no one seems to know. It probably | came Into use from the announcement of some | enterprising broker that he “sealped the prices * | A symbol of the calling thu aus been almost | waiversall rd “rates” divided ” A New | and in adver- self on the bill-boards and in other | ection are sometimes bro ar lig There is among persons unaccus- temed_ to traveling a tendency to hagzle over | the prices. as ina tradesman’s shop over a piece of gowis.

A general passenger agent of one of the trank lines, speaking of the brokers, said it was astounding the amount of busin they did.

Massacre of a Ship’s Crew with the Story Told by Survivors. From the London Times. Details have been received at Plymouth from Sydney of the recent frightful massacre of a portion of the crew of the trading schooner 1sa- belia on one of the islands of the Fiji group. The narrative was furnished by Mr. J. E. Haw- kins, the master of the Isabelia. The starboard boat, with’ Mr. Mair, government agent, on board, left the Isabella for the Island of Santo at Ta.m.on November 12. The day passed with- out the boat returning. Mr. Hawkins sent boats in search, but without result. Next morn- ing another boat was sent ashore. They met a boat from the steamer May Queen, of Queens- land, which reported that two of - the missing boat’s crew had that morning swam off to that vessel, which was at anchor some four miles from the scene of the massacre, and that both were severely wounded. Two boats then proceeded along fhe shore in search of the missing boat, which was found hauled some distance into the bush. She had been gutted, and natives were hovering about at a respectful distance. Two oara were found in the bush, on the opposite side of a small creek. The landing party then proceeded inland, leaving a man in each boat to keep them float and to be in readiness. The search party came to a village, at which was found some of the gear belonging to the missing boat. As the search party only consisted of. one white man and five natives, it was thought advisable not to go farther into the bush, but to return to the ve ‘1 and report what had been done. As the [od yreturned to the boats the head of Mr. ‘air, the government agent, was found among the rocks frightfully tomahawked. In the re- sult a stronger party was formed consisting of two boats irom the May Queen, two from the Surprise, and one from the Mavis. They landed, and in avillage further in the bush than the one visited already they found parts of a haman body. The boats ‘haying returned to the ship, Capt. Hawkins decided to bury these remains as well as the head of Mr. Mair, which was done. The survivors of the massacre were two half- caste Fijians, -» Malakai and Jimmy—both serving on board the Isabella as boat's crew. They state they saw the two white men killed— Mr. Mair, government agent, and Mr. H&mp- shire, mate—also the two others of the boat's crew—i.e., Don Juani and Amosi, half-castes. The boat was attacked when about to leave the beach, having recruited three men. No offense was given to the natives, who had brought down the recruits themselves. Malakai had two se- vere tomahawk cuts on the head, one being on the left side penetrating the skull. The blow must, fortunately, have been a slanting one; it was three and a half inches long, but the brain was enot cut into. The other wound was on the forehead, between the eyes. These wounds were sewed up by the captain of the May Queen. The other man saved had a knife wound on the forehead. These two state that they jumped overboard and swam away. The natives pursued them, but they were able to land and hide among the rocks. When the moon rose they swam to another place, hid themselyes, slept awhile, and at daybreak swam, the assistance of logs of wood, to the schooner May Queen. They both state that they saw Mr. Mair shoot a man through the body with his revolver, but he w pC ot through and received a cut from a tomahaw the side. He feil overboard and tried to swi away, but was surrounded by the natives and hacked to pieces. as was also Don Juani. Amosi Was shot dead and fell overboard. All hat been done that could be done, as the natives had retired far in the bush, and it would have been impossible to get ‘at them, Capt. Hawkins deemed it ty to proceed at once to Fiji and report the matter to the authorities. —$e0—_______ Hints on the Care of the Eyes, by a Professor. ese Prof. Lundy, of Detroit, at a late sanitary | convention in Ann Arbor, Mich., read a paper on “Hygiene in Relation to the Eye,” in which he said: 5 Not long since a high school pupil applied to him for advice. She spent nearly five hours a day at school, in badly lighted school rooms, and at home she was obliged to study five hours more. During winter, three hours of the study were done by artificial light. She complained that her eyes became tired and painful before her tasks were completed. When asked how Jong she could walk without becoming fatigued she replied: “About one hour.” Although the muscles of locomotion become fatigued by mod- erate exercise within an hour, yet she could not understand why the use of the eye and eye museles continuously for flve hours, and under unnatural conditions, should have produced dis- comfort. - “ We see men and women reading newspapers | and badly-printed books for several hours at a time while riding in railroad cars. We see young people, and old people too, who habitually sit in the dim twilight poring’ over some cheaply-printed novel or continued story per. We see people reading for hours y a flickering gaslight, which is probably six or eight feet distant from their book or paper. We know of people who read forlong periods at a time while lying down; often, too, when that time should be devoted to sleep. In many of the school rooms which 1 have ex- amined the pupils who sat near the windows njoyed the advantage of abundant light, while to others remote fromthe windows the amount of tight furnished was less than one-third what itshould have been. It has been generally conceded by those who haye given most at- tention to it, and who are most competent to express opinions upon the subject, that the win- dow space in school rooms should be equal to 30 to 50 per cent of the floor space. Any one who has taken the trouble to investigate this subject for himself will be convinced that a proportion | of window surface less than one-fourth the pod surface will not light a school room prop- erly. An abuse which 1s ever crying out for cor- in our public schools. To the vest of my recol- lection, I e not examined a single school room in which blackboards were not placed be- tween windows. Light coming from the front irritates the eye, evenif the eye is not turned directly toward the light. Furthermore, black- boards so placed cannot be well lighted, and besides, they absorb much of the light which falls upon them. ———__+-—_______ Pistols in Arizona. From the Tombstone Nugget.

Se gee A MODERN HINDU REFORMER. BY CHARLES Woop. oh T went, one hot. afternoon last May, to call upon Keshub Chusder Sen at his home in Cal- cutta. I had heard that he was in “retirement,” —such was the term used,—and might refuse to See any one; and, mistaking at first the house where he once lived for his present residence, a tall, stout Indian Baboo, of whom I made in- quiries as he was about stepping into his palan- quin, turned upon me rather sharply, and said, “May [ask why you wish to see-Chander Seni To which question, considering my nation there could be but one bi pl or hi th red t Tam a relative, and I doubt if he will see yor but I will with pleasure direct you to his house.” A comfortable Eu- ropean house it was, somewhat better even than most American societies provide for their missionaries, though they are nearly al- ways of good size and appearance, as they should be. I took-it for granted, though for- eign ‘ionaries do not live ordinarily in native houses, that an Indian reformer would have a purely Indian home; but this reformer has been to Europe, has associated more or jess all his life with Europeans, and has gradually and _al- most necessarily substituted Occidental comfort for Oriental simplicity. I wasshown intojust such a drawing-room as one might find in almost any of the smaller London houses, with the one ex- ception of a large tiger skin stretched upon the floor, which did service as arug. Almost im- mediately Keshub Chunder Sen entered; he was @ tall, well-formed man, with atendency to over- stoutness; coffee-colored, skin; eyes of the deep- est black and flashing With fire; a handsome face of the eastern sort, full of animal life and passion, yet the face of a possible mystic; long, delicately formed hands, such as men of the west, rarely, if ever, possess. A good {ype of the Oriental; dressed, too as a native gentleman. A long, loose, toga-like garment, lighter than any fabrics ever used by us, supplied. the place of the much more numerous and much less comfortable and graceful articles which make up the ordinary costume in every country of Europe. His weleome was very cordial. He said noth- ing about his “retirement,” but began at once to ask the usual questions which are put to all travelers, in English as pure and grammatical asone would hear in Oxford or Cambridge, theuzh without that certain accent or inflection of the voice which onerarely findsexcept among native-born Englishmen. He spoke with per- fect freedom, and with that openness of manner which invites questioning, hen I asked if a member of the Brahmo Somaj would ever speak of himself as a Christian, he said, with a smile, “Oh, no; that is a term of narrowness; the Christian must hate” (I wondered from what sources he had tormed this idea) “the Hindu and the Buddhist and the Mohammedan, bat we honor all. Christ is to us the great- est, his life is the purest, but he is only primus inter res.” Remembering what I had heard about his retirement, I inquired if asceticism found any place in their system. “Not with the meaning which is ordi- narily given to that word,” was his reply. “We believe in and advocate the greatest simplicit: of life: we live on alms, we eat no meat, an there are times when we go into the wilderness to be alone for days.” Then he showed me a picture ofhimself and his wife,seated on the tiger skin which wasunder our feet spread apparently on some hill-top of sand, in a barren Indian desert. He held in his hand, so the picture rep- resented him, the ektara, an instrument of a single string,—the only one, I believe, ever used by the Brahino Somaj. “We sometimes spend hours in that position,” he said, “communing with the Infinite.” Do you believe, I asked, in modern revela- tions? It was somewhat generally thought in Calcutta, I had found, that whenever Keshub Chunder Sen’s authority was questioned by the Brahmo Somaj, he had the habit of falling back upon arevelation just received as the motive and authority of his action. “Certainly,” he said od has not become dumb: He speaks now as of old.” You have missionaries, I said. ‘Oh, yes; we are sending them into nearly every part of India, and they are meeting everywhere with good success.” But, I asked, what if one of these men should say, I have a revelation to go to Allahabad. to work in Trichinoply? _“ He would be forced to yield,” was the answer. “We wouid not believe in a revelation ot that sort, in opposition to the opinion of the whole church.” This might lead, I suggested, to schisms. Have you ever had any division into parties in the Somaj? “Yes,” he answered; “within a vet ill ar it th: or in: shi the ey to ch oc bri te th th cau th th | ho in short time there has been one of a somewhat serious nature. It resulted in part from the marriage of my daughter, of which you may have heard something.” One can Scarcely mention Keshub Chunder Sen or the Brahmo Somaj anywhere in India without being told the story of this marriage, and in a more or less incorrect form, so that I was very glad to have him speak of it of his own accord, and to hear from his own lips the truth of the mat- ter. It was a rather romantic story, and one that couid not fail to excite sympathy’ as well as interest. The marriage of children has long been gen- eral in India. I was present, one evening, ata wedding where a boy of six was married toa girl of four. The boy must become a man be- fore he takes his wife to his home; but if he should die in the mean time, the child whom he ceremonially married must always remain a widow. Latterly the more thoughtful have come to look upon these early marriages as among the greatest of evils. One of the obli- gations which members of the Brahmo Somaj took upon themselves was not to marry their daughters till they had reached the age of six- een. A few years ago a Maharajah, or prince, was left an orphan, and became necessarily a ward of the English government. His property was cared tor, and nis education—a very careful one—seen to by the lieutenant governor of Ben- gal. This ee Maharajah of Kuchberge be- came one of the best known characters in Cal- cutta, and was universally liked, both by the natives and the Europeans. It was thought wise for him to travel in Europe. but it was more than probable that if he undertook the Journey unmarried he would return with a Eu- ropean wife, and this would injure his influence over his future subjects. The English govern- ment wished him to be married at once, and, on looking around for a wife suitable for their ward, they decided to make proposals for the hand of the daughter of Keshub Chun- der Sen. It wasa great temptation, a real Indian prince, and called by the English the best of them all. It was too great a temptation to be resisted, and a few months before the young lady had reached her sixteenth birthday she was married to the Maharajah, but with the condi- tion that she was not to be taken to his home till his return from Europe. Even the Europeans considered the marriage unobjectionable, but the members of the Brahmo Somaj moved a court of inquiry into the conduct of their minis- ter, and in spite of his assurance that he had re- ceived a direct revelation from heaven that this marriage was sed and proper, a large number withdrew from the Brahmo Somaj, and organ- ized a reformed Somaj of their own.—April At- thi to fly to eve thi ehi wil to of Bh of —_——<e-_______ How to Make Brick Walls Water-tight. From the Scientific American. The Sylvester process was successfully ap- plied to the interior walls of the gate houses of the Croton reservoir in the Central park in this city, in 1863, on the advice of the late William Dearborn, C. E. The process and its resuits in this case are described by Mr. Dearborn in a paper read by him before the American Society of Civil Engi- neers, May 4, 1870. The process consists in using two washes or solutions. The first composed of three-quarters of a pound ot castile soap dissolved in one gal- lon of water, laid on at boiling heat with a flat brush. When this bas dried, twenty-four hours later apply in like manner the second wash of half a pound of alum dissolved in four ns of water. The temperature of this when applied should be 60° to 70° Fahr. After twenty-four hours apply another soap wash, and so on al- ternately until four coats ofeach have been put on. Experiments showed that this was suffi- clent to make the wall water-tight under forty feet of water. | At the time of application the walls had been | saturated and the weather was cold. The gate chambers were covered over and heated thoroughly with large stoves. The drying, cleaning the walls with wire brushes, and ap- plying the mixture, took ninety-six days. 'wenty-seven tons of coals were used for the drying and one ton for heating the soap solu- tion ; 18,830 square feet of wall were washed with four coats. “The drying and’ cleaning of the walls cost six and a half hr yt aesre foot, andthe plant, materials and of ap plying the wash cost threeand three-eighth cent per square foot. ee tempted torob the Bank of Minnenpolin proves atten ‘orob the is proves to be the ** Billy the Kid” who escaped fi im the jail at Albany, N.

PATRICK'S FISH AND WILD DUCK— LR BON SAUMON—A GOOD DINNER FOR LEST DESCRIBED. From the New York Times. What a truly good Christian ought to eat dur- ing the continuance of Lent is really a serious question. The Times, therefore, fulfills a duty to society in providing a really Lenten menu. Let no doubtful stomach be afraid lest the dinner fail to satisfy any legitimate hunger. There are resources. The otter, for instance, which a canon of the church declaresto be neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and which, when young and ten- der, rivals spring lamb. But as every piously disposed individual may not have a tame otter running around his back yard I venture to suggest asa substitute for its flesh some of St. Patrick's fish. They can easily be made. This is theway the ever venerable saint first manu- factured them: One day in Lent he had not been able to obtain any otter for dinner, but he had tound some very tender, juicy, young pig cut- lets which he thought would do as well. He was going home with them in one hand and a pail of fresh spring water in the other, when who should he meet but an angel who had not been accustomed to winking. ‘What are those pretty red things, Patrick?” says the angel. ” says Patrick. “‘Howly mother! how will I ever get out 0’ this?” But he pop; the cutlets into the pail of water and says as bold as could be, “‘Thim’s fish.” And sure they were, beautiful fish, and to this day pig cutlets are known as St. Patrick's fish. And then, too. there is wild duck; everybody knows that a wild duck is half a fish,only you must eat it before the fat on the gravy gets cold, otherwise it is under the ban of flesh. And there is such a thing as over-eating even on fish; witness that good Abbe of Fayot’s, who in the midst of the Conjiteor, beat his breast, exclaiming, “Ah, le bon sai mon! ah, le bon saumon!” Le bon saumon shall come well into our Lenten menu. We will begin with it, continue with it, and end with it. Purée of Salmon. Boiled Trout, with Green Peas. Eels en Matelotte. Roast Wild Duck. Darne of Salmon, with Mayonnaise. enreaaee nel ‘anapees. Roquefort. Black Coffee, PuREE oF SaLMos.—For each quart of soup mix together over the fire one tablespoonful each of flour and butter uatil quite free from lumps; then gradually add one quart of hot milk,-stirring constantly, until the soup is quite smooth; then season it palatably with salt and pepper, dust in a little grated nutmeg, and stir in with an ege- whip @ cupful of boiled salmon rubbed through a sieve with a potato-masher. Boren Trout, with GREEN PEas.—Have the fish cleaned without cutting it opan; wash it well in salted cold water; truss it inthe shape of a letter S; put it over the fire in cold salted water, enough to cover it, and bring it slowly to the boiling point; as soon’as a fin can be pulled out the fish must be taken up without breaking, the strings removed, and the fish served on a bed of green peas and accompanied by a dish of plain boiled new potatoes. To boil the peas put @ quart of them into a quart of boiling water containing a heaping teaspoonful of salt, and boil them until they are just tender, when drain them from the water in which they were boiled and put them into cold water while you make a sauce for them as follows:—Put a tablespoonful of- butter, the same quantity of flour into a saucepan over the fire and stir them until they bubble, then gradually add hot milk, half a cup- ful at atime, stirring constantly to keep it smooth until you have added enough hot milk tomake the sauce about the consistency of cream; season it palatably with salt, pepper and a very little nutmeg. EELS EN MatTeLotre.—Clean two pounds of eels. cut them in two-inch lengths, put them over the fire in plenty of cold water, with a ta- blespoonful of salt, and bring them to a boi add an onion stuck with 10 cloves, and 2 table- spoonfuls of vinegar; boil them’ 15 minutes, take them up, dry the eels ona clean cioth, roli them in flour, and fr pan, with about tw. spoonfuls of butte , add a boquet of her! ing together a few spi of parsley ay leaf, halt a dozen whole cloves, and half a dozen peppercorns) and a of boiling water; season the matelotte with a teaspoonful of salt and a quarter of a saltspoon- ful of pepper. Peel a pint of button onions, put them in a saucepan, with a teaspoonful each of butter and sugar, and toss them over the fire until brown; then add them to the ma- telotte and simmer it one hour. If the sauce evaporates, add enough boiling water to make up the original quautity. When the matelotte is done, add a glass of wine to it, and serve with some croutons of fried bread, made by fry- ing small heart-shaped slices of stale bread ligit brown, in smoking hot fat. Roast Witp Duck.—Have the birds carefully plucked, singed, wiped with a wet towel, and drawn without breaking the entrails; do not stuff them; roast them before an open fire or in avery hot oven for about twenty minutes, or until the breasts are plump and full, and yield aclear, red gravy when slightly cut or punc- tured; send them to the table on a bed of water- cresses which have been carefully picked over, washed, shaken dry in a clean towel, and dressed with a plain French salad dressing. This dressing is made by mixing together three tablespoonfuls of oil, one of vinegar, a saltspoonful of salt, and a quarter of a salt spoonful of pepper; serve the duck very hot. DARNE OF SALMON wiTH MaYonNaIsE.—Choose a cut near the middle of the salmon—about five inches thick—wash it thoroughly; fill out the space which contained the entrails with a large carrot to preserve the form of the darne. Put the fish into cold water sufficient to cover it, with a tablespoonful of salt. Set it over the fire and let it slowly approach the boiling point; the moment the flakes of the fish begin to sepa- rate take it from the water without breaking it, remove the carrot, and scrape of the skin, leay- ing the fish unbroken. Let it cool, taking care that itis perfectly drained. While the salmon is boiling plunge a small lobster head first into salted boil ae nae enough to cover it and boil it until it is bright red—about 15 minutes; take up the lobster, drain it, andletit cool ; meantime make a good mayonnaise sauce, as follows: Squeeze the juice of one lemon and measure it with a tablespoon; usein addition to it sufficient good vinegar to make four tablespoonfuls, in- cluding both; measure three-quarters of a pint of salad 11; place in a bowl or large soup plate the yolk of one raw egg. one level teaspoonful each of salt-and dry mustard, quarter of a salt spoon- fal of white pepper, and as much cayenne as can be taken up on the point. ot 6 penkalte blade; mix these ingredients to a smooth paste with a salad spoon or fork,. and then gradually add the oil, lemon Juice, and vinegar, a few drops of each at atime, stirring constantly, first using the oil until the mixture becomes a stiff paste, then ad- ding sufficient acid to thin it to the consistenc: ofavery thick cream; then more oil and aci alternately, until the proportions given above are used. The mayonnaise should be made in a cool piace and kept on ice until wanted. Dress the darne of salmon for the table by laying it on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves which have been carefully washed and dried; fs shpat the mayon- naise wen every part of the salmon to cover or ‘TAFFY. A New York Girl Dies from Eating It. AND SESENIC I8 FOUND IN HER STOMACH—OPIN— IONS OF LOCAL MEN IN REGARD TO THE sUB- JECT. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The New York Sun, of Sunday, has the fol- lowing: “Joseph Thayer, the father of Bessie |_M. Thayer, the Brooklyn school-girl who died afew hours after eating some molasses candy, and in whose stomach a lump of arsenic told Coroner Keller yesterday that he was per- suaded that death was caused by the candy, although it was reported that no arsenic was found in an analysis of some candy purchased at the same place. He says he has learned on in- quiry that terra alba is largely used by confec- tioners to increase the bulk of molasses candy and make it whiter, and that it contains a great of arsenic.” deal Meeting a gentleman retired some years from the wantoteing otenea io ve taffy as anybody, but he had never “faiking subsequently with a Tending retail ‘alking nently a ing dealer, whose candies are famous throughout Ohio, he expressed himself as unable to account for the presence of the arsenic in the candy. He had never to his knowledge, and he had been in the candy business for twenty-five years, heard of the poison being used in the manufacture of the former. Terra alba was quite a large ingredient he candies of the wholesale merchants, ly in the pan candies and lozenges. The adulters- tion depended upon the nature of the trade. The goods sent to the country contained just enough sugar to let the people know the maker in storing up the candy had some near him. He did not believe that he had tarted a pure gum-drop in years. Instead of gum arabic and sugar, those delicious morsels, so popular with the ladies, were built of gelatine or Irish moss and enough saccharine to sweeten them. Deal- ers who had patrons willing to pay fifty or sixty cents a pound for candy could not afford to use terra alba or-anything else of the kind. He could not understand how any body needed to mix the earth in molasses candy, as the regular materials could be obtained at just as low rate as the first-named article. Some years ago there wasa great row in Boston over the fact that a firm there had been discovered using chrome yellow for coloring their candy. Arrests made, and a great litigation ensued. The accused brought experts to show that the amount of yellow they con- sumed was no more injurious to the public than the sugar itself. But the coloring comes in the higher class of candies, for which better money is paid. Of course, he knew that caramels, asa Tule, especially in the majority of stores, were nothing more nor less than glucose, and people could ageide better than he whether or not they wanted to eat that substance. In conversation with Professor E. S. Wayne, thechemist, he told the reporter that the adul- teration in candy and food had reached an ap- paling state. One of his students at the College of Pharmacy recently examined some candy and | found that it contained over 25 per cent of terra alba. It was argued that this was deleterious, but he did not think that people wanted to gorge themselves with dirt believing that it was candy. As far as arsenic and the earth was concerned | he could not understand how they could have been associated. They were entirely different. He could scarcely believe the story. he arsenic could not have got in by means of the coloring, as no mineral substance could be used in that way. Some dealers had, in order to obtain green candies, painted them, but this was very easily discovered. Only vegetable colors were available, as minerals always failed. He referred to the use of gelatine and Irish moss inthe gum- drops, and did not believe there were any pure gum-drops in the world. He was of the opinion that there ought to be a oh ee against the adulteration of candy and f ee What Can be Seen-With a Small Tele- scope. The curiosity to see the heavenly bodies through great telescopes is so widespread that we are apt to forget how much can be seen and done with small ones. The fact is that a large proportion of the astronomical observations of past times have been made with what we should now regard as very small instruments, and a good deal of the solid astronomical work of the present time is done with meridian circles, the apertures of which ordinarily range from fourto eight inches. One of the most conspicuous ex- amples in recent times of how a moderate-sized instrument may be. utilized is afforded by the discoveries of double stars made by Mr. 8. W. Burnham, of Chicago. Provided with a little six-inch telescope. procured at his own expense | from the Messrs.

First among the objects which show beautifully through moderate instruments stands the moon. People who want to see the moon at an obser- vatory generally make the mistake of looking when the moon is full, and asking to see it through the largest telesco) Nothing can then be made out but a brilliadt blaze of light. mottled with dark spots. and crossed by irrezu- lar bright lines. The best time to view the moon is near or before the first quarter, or when she is from three to eight days old. ‘The last quarter is of course equally favorable, so far as seeing is concerned, only we must be up after midnight to see her in that position. Seen through a three or four inch telescope, a day or two before the first quarter, about half an hour after sunset, and with a magnifying power between fifty and one hun- dred, the moon is one of the most beautiful objects in the heavens. Twilight softens her radiance, so that the eye is not dazzled as it will be when the sky is entirely dark. The general aspect she then presents is that of a hemisphere of beautiful chased silver carved out in curious round patterns with a more than human skill. If, however, one wishes to see the minute de- tails of the lunar surface, in which many of our astronomers are now 80 deeply interested, he must use a higher magnifying power. The gen- eral beautiful effect is then lessened, but more details are seen. Still, it is hardly necessary to seek for a very large telescope for any investi- gation of the lunar surface. I very much doubt whether any one has ever seen anything on the moon which could not be made out in a clear, steady atmosphere with a six-inch telescope ot the first class.—Prof. Simon Newcomb, in Har- per’s Magazine for March.
