A WIELD WHITE, READY TO HARVEST, AND YEW REAPERS. From Good Housekeeping. There is now an increasing opportunity in ‘this country for women to tind employment as housekeepers. As modes of living and claims of society become more complex their aid will amore frequently be required in our homes.

How to Make a Will that Can’t be Bro- ken After Death. From the Chicago Herald. ‘The subject of wills, said a lawyer to the Her- ‘Us, Particularly where a considerable estate is devised. We are not only curious to know how ® man wishes his property to go after he is through with it, bat it seems like a voice from the dead declaring how it shall go. It is usu- ally written in the most solemn moment of a man’s life. At that moment one realizes to the fall that he brought nothing into this world and can take nothing out, and that. afior <s2 tongue is hushed end ths ueartstilled, his com- mands will be spoken and his desires obeyed. Associated as it is with such thoughts as these, itis not strange that we are eager to know how Mr. Vanderbilt, or Mr. Astor, or Mr. Til- den, or Mr, Storey disposes of his fortunes, As a matter of fact, being strangers to them, we do not care whether they endow a college oF a cat, but if their wills happen to be published in the morning papers,we read them first, as the most toothsome items of news. The clause in Mr, Tilden’s will providing that aaa one of the devisees contest it he shall fortelt his share isa valid one, and may be often found in the wilis of astate persons, like the de rted statesman. It has a tendency to induce caution on the part of heirs. If one can lose nothing by a contest ahd may gain some- thing, be may rush into court as a sort of speculation, and in that way much of the es- tate be lost. Our Uncle Sammy knew enough about law aod lawyers to wish to keep his es- | tate iree from their care. As nobody ever drove acoach and four through any document or te he wrote, so you may be sure his will, by his own hand, ix equally ironclad. There are many very curious and eccentric wills deseribed in the KS, and some strange phases of human nature are illustrated lo them. Some men, who in life would not have given ® cupot toa beggar, by their wills leave eneriious sums to charity. Those are the wills thatzusually take a course through’the courts, with handsome pickings for the law- yerson the way. All charitabie bequests are construed with the utmost strictness. About ten years ago H. H. Taylor, of this city, died, le ing a Willdrawn by himself, Alter pro- Viding for his wife and son, as he thought Quite liberally, he devised the residue of his estate, about $500,000, to seven trustees to found a charitable institution such as they should deem best. In case they elected not to do so the trustees were to turn over the estate to tie Home of the Friendless. AS a Matter of course the will was contested, and, after thorough legal inquiry, it was found that the charitable clause would not hold water, Atter considerable litigation the case was compromised, and the Home of the Friendless got $200,000 and the heirs the re- mainder. A man in New Jersey, not long since, left his estate to pay off the national debt. The will Was contested, of course, but the courts have re- cently held it valid. In the last century Sir eph Jekyll did the same thing in England. When Lord Mansfield heard of it he said: “sir Joseph Was a very good man and a good lawyer, but his bequest was a very foolish one; he might as well have attempted to stop the middie arch of Blackfriars bridge with his full- bottomed wig.” Sunple a matter as it really is, lawyers have not always been successiuiin drawing their own wills. Lord St. Leonard, high chancellor oi Engiand, who, as Edward Sugden, was the quost eminent chancery lawyer in” England, nd who with a nuniber of law books, ong particularly With a very elaborate chapter on drawing wills,drew bis own will,aud it re- quired “an expensive lawsuit and the decision Of acourtol chancery to give it proper effect. The will of Lord Westbury, anotuer lord high aancellor,drawn by himself, met with the ume tate. I eould give you many similar in- stances, ‘Tnere have been devises to animals or for heir benefit which have been held valid to ats, dogs, borses, and even parrots, Not in- frequently’ people’ have undertaken to show their spite and hatred, and sometimes their uumor, in wills, ‘Tue wiltot Lord Pembroke in the seventeenth ceujury bas several items ot that kind—for in- Siamve: “Item—I give nothing to my Lord Saye, an jo make bim this legacy willingly, be- Gute f know that he will iaithtully distribute ip hte the poor. Item—I give up the ghost.” rd Bacon had no property to ieave, but he let a regularly executed will, in which he bequeathed his pame and memory “to men’s charitable speeches, to foreign nations, and the next ages.” Shakespeare leit an elaborate will, whieh contains « ciause that bus puzzied the Shakespeareans not a little. “I give unto my wife my second best bed, with the furniture.” Why did he only give Ano Hathaway his second best, and not his best bed? Nothing else did she get, and the Will has sougut in vain to know the reason why. Lord Neison left a will drawn just betore he Weut into the battle of Trafalgar, by which he bequeathed Lady Hamilton and her daughter to nis King and ‘country, but neither king nor country accepted the legacy, and they voth came to want, Ludy Hamiiton dying in abject poverty. Napoleon in his will left a handsome legacy to @ wretch named Chatilion, wuo had at- tempted to assassinate Wellington. ‘The will of Rabelais has this clause: “I have hn a@vallable property; Lowe a great deal; the st L give to the poor.” His lust words when Qying were: “I yo to see the great Perhaps.” A famous French ubbe had tuis pithy clause in iis wili: “To my steward I leave nothing, be- cause be has been in my service for eighteen years. itis not unusual fora man to leave all his property tw bis wite, with. the proviso that if ole marries again she is wo have only what the law allows her. I have drawn a number of such wills. Governor Morris, the celebrated Ameri- cau Statesman, did not’ treat bis wile so. He bad married very late in lite Ann Randolph, a cousiu of John, of Roanoke, a woman much younger than hiinseli, aud with whom he lived Very happily. He bequeathed a very handsome income lo her, and ten provided that in case she juarried again the income should be dou- bled.

From the Brooklyn Eaie, “Koumiss is 1ast becoming the popular drink with Brooklyuites wno have large families of caildren,” said a local druggist recently to an Bugle reporter, “Koumiss is made of cow's mili with the addition of a littie sugar. It is highly essential that the milk should be fresh and pure. It is said that Koumiss is agreat cure *for dyspepsia. Certainly it gives relict in that most patnful discase. Wituin a yeara number af companies have been formed In Brooklyn for the sale Of We Leverage. Au excellent tormula for the preparation of koumiss was furnished some yeurs ago. Here it is: ““Fill u quart champagne bottle up to the neck with pure milk; add two tablespoons of white sugar aiter dissolving the same in a little water OVer @ hol fire; add also # quarter of & two cent cake of compressed yeast, ‘Then te the cork on tue bottie securely and shake the mixture well; place tu a roomi of the tempera- ture of 50 to $0 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 hours aud Bally in the icebox over night, Drink In such quantities as the stomach will require.

Dyspeptics find much re- tet in its use. I sell almost as much on draught as soda water. If prepared in « certain way koumiss will keep tor time. It has a delicious taste, and is, I think, the best of all the suuumer beverages.” “From what is the word koumiss derived??? “The word und the drink originated in Asia, and Is largely 1m use by the tribes of that coun try.

Te Ride Over ti reakers om Iron Wheels. A CURIOUS LIFE-SAVING MACHINE—A SEA WAGON TWENTY-SEVEN FEET HIGH TO BE USED FOR AIDING STRANDED VESSEI6. From the Phile@Iphia,News, August 228t. An ocean tricyele twenty-seven feet high fs in course of building in Camden, and will be com- pleted, so that the inventor may tést it in the surf at Ocean City, within two weeks. A tri- cycle on which to rjde through and over the breakers which beat on the Atlantic coast may bave been dreamed of, but that it would ever be thought of when awake and sober has ep- tered into the minds of tew beside E. B. Lake, who has secured a patent for his invention and expects to find millions in It The object of this, probably the largest tricycle ever built, is not simply for exercise and amusement, as are the less pretentious three-wheeled vehicles, but it is proposed to utilize-it as a means for the saving of life from vessels wrecked on the dan: rous beaches. This one will be used by the ‘ife-saving station at Ocean City, and if it proves ‘success, as all who have examined it believe it will, others will be built for the life-saving stations all along the coast. The machine may be run by two men easily atid yet is so strong and so constructed as to 88 through the roughest water without in- jary, and without ever wetting the men who mey' ride upon it, except such wetting as may be due to spray. “Jt ean be run out to a wreck at any time,” said the man who was superihtending the work, “and it will beyond question revolutionize the present system of saving life on the const. ‘here need be no trouble hereafterin launching the surf boats, and the motor used for shooting ‘2 lin? across stranded vessels may be laid aside forever, once this machine is in working trim. Instead of requiring au hour or two to reach & ‘Wrecked vessel it-may be done on the ‘sea wagon’ in ten minutes and without the least danger. The imperiled crew could be taken ashore on the machine if desired; in fact a per- fect communication between the land and the wreck will be established, and absolutely with- out danger when this machine is put into gen- eral use.” The ‘sea wagon,” as the inventor has named it, is composed entirely of iron and steel, except the small triangular platform at the top, on which those who work it will stand. The wheels, which are eight fect and a half in diameter, are of steel, and are placed at the polnts of'a triangle, each side of which is twen- ty-four feet. This ‘triangle narrows to six feet, atthe top. ‘The frame js a skeleton, the iron being so arranged as to present as little resist- ce to wind and waves as possible, ‘The in- Ventor expects the roughest seas to break through it without doing the least damage to the machine. THE MACHINE DESCRIBED. The motive power is by the working of two levers at the top platform. These levers each have two steel fods which lead down to the front wheels of the tricycle, the tires of which are notched, A shoe on the end of each steel Tod catches ‘in these notches and propels the machine by the moving up and down of the levers. ‘The rads are so placed on the lever that while one is going down for @ fresh grip the other is pulling upward. By this means the motion fs continuous and the rate at which two men are expected to be able to move it through the water ts three miles an hour, as fast as the average guit of walking. ‘The ‘third or hind wheel acts llice a castor and swinging on a pivot follows the leading wheels of the tricycle, which is steered by the levers. Very tow vessels are wrecked in twenty or more feet of water, and if the “sea wagon” Operates, as its maker expects it to, it may be run out toay stranded vessel. 4 ladder ar- Tanged soas to be extended from the top is placed on one side ot the vehicle, and by this not ouly will the crew of the machine mount to the railed platform, but crews of wrecked vessels may do the same and be wheeled to dry land, Six men could thus be carried at a time. Mr. Lake’s “sea wagon” now stands in the ard of tue Standard Machine works, 117 North Front street, Camden. Fifteen feet of its frame rises above the tence, and hundreds haye stopped and wondered what the thing whieh resembles in outline the frame of a Light houte is intended tor. ————+e+-____ Spelling Lessons in Rhyme.

Zenas Dane in Good Housekeeping A year or two before I was married I boarded one winter with a very excellent family in a western village. ‘The husband and father was agood man, but he had what his wife called his “touchy points,” and, good and honest man though he was, some of these ‘touchy points” were @ life-long source of actual sorrow to his wile, who was’ good and faithful wife and mother, tidy, thritty and ever watchful of the common interests of the family, She was econoinical to the last degree and inost indus. trious. She seemed to me tobe a model wite. Her husband thought so, too, and would have angrily resented apy imputation to the con- trary. He taught dis children to honor and love their mother, although failing, as itseemed to me, in manifesting love und honor for her himself at ull times, but these times were only when his “louchiest point” had been pressed upon. ‘One day I accidentally heard the wife say to her eldest daughter, “No, dear; I cannot ask ‘our futher for money fer you for a new hat. ‘ou Know how very touchy he is on that polut. I sometimes lie awuke hulf the night trying to devise some method of scrimpiug or saving so that I need not say the word ‘money’ to your father. Nothing hurts him so much as to be asked for a little money. I dread to think of asking him for money for anything.” ‘T Was engaged to Mrs. Dane at that time, and I made u solemn vow that she should have @ purse of her own and that it should never go empty if I had anything w putin it, We have now been married six years, and I have faith- fully adhered to that resolution. And there is no “fixed sum” about it, Household expenses Vary at different seasons of the year and under various circumstances. Ten dollars will, per- haps, cover ail the expenses one week, and the next mnay be @ “canning” or & “company” week, und several extra dollars will. be re quired. In any case, I resent the idea that my wite is'@ mere peusioner on iny bounty; I reject the imputation that she has not common sense enough to know the value of money and dare not be trusted with it, Lam nota “woman's righter,” in the popular sense of the term, but I thank the Lord that I am mau enough to Tecognize the fact* that my wife, as my wife and the mother of my children, lius rights, money-spending rights, that ‘I have. no business intericring with.

From the Troy Times, I purpose giving ‘a short sketch of the life ot @ man who was little known outside of Gran- ville Corners, in Washington county, where he was born and spent the most of along life. It is known of him, and can be proved, that he has performed feats of strength unsurpassed by any man who has lived in ancient and modern times, excepting, of course, the Biblical Sam- son. ‘His name’ fs, or was, Stearn Carpenter. His occupation was that of a farmer, Being naturally of a very quiet, peaceable disposition, and a member of the Society of Friends, he never did anything for display to attract atien- tion, but the feats of strength he performed were done more to sutisfy himself and to see how much he could lift thun tor anything else. All his lifting was done by main strength, without harness of any kind.’ ‘One of his greatest feats was lifting a box §lled with iron, which weighed 1,900 pounds, which in a harness, He iiited it with ease with bis hands by grasp- ing @ rope or chain which was bound around the box to secure it, He did tot know the Weight of the box of iron at the time, and -was afterwards heard to say that had he known it welghed so near a ton he would have put on the other 100 pounds and lifted the whole, At another time he lifted acannon that welghed 1,400 pounds, and shouldered it, At Com- stock's Lunding, on the Champlain canal, near Whitehall, one day while waiting for a load of merchandise, he lifted a barrel of white lead with ease, His els boey while killing hogs, if Stearn happened to be around, would ask him to guess the weight of a hog just killed. If it happened to be # big one, weighing 400 or 500 pounus, he would stoop down and twist bis fingers into the bristles and in that way would lilt Lhe carcass clean from the ground and guess on its weight, ‘He performed one of the greatest feats of strength on record after he bad reached the age ol seventy-five years. He lifted two 24-toot iron rails by grasping one in each hand and waiking off with them. The rails were restin, on woodeg horses, 80 he did not ee? to li them, One day in haying he was going from the Held with his men to the house for dinner, They were walking along the road together, when one of the men for mischief, came up be- hind him, and, by @ skillful trp, threw Car- penter down. He gathered himself up and said nothing about it. He walked to the house, and after dinner, when returning to the field with bis men, they came along to-the place where the man gave him the fall, He suddenly turned upon the man, and grasping him by the sbouiders and the seat of his trousers, Lift him and buried him high in the air above him and over @ seven-lvot rail fence, by tne side of which they happened to be walking. ‘The man came down in the meadow a rod or more from the fence, considerably shaken up, but not badly burt. ’ Mr. Carpenter was nova gigantic man in size. He was about six feet tail, and appeared much less than that, owing to his massive build, ‘There was no superfluous flesh on him, but the muscles of his arms, shoulders and neck seemed to be piled upon him, so great was their size. This guve him a stooping appearance. In a crowd a casual ob- server would not be likely to pick him out for oue of the strongest men that ever lived. Mr, Carpenter fs living at the present time at Gaan- ville Corners, Washington county, N. Y., his old home, or was living the last I heard of him, He must be over eighty years of uge. Dangerous Photography. A WARNING TO YOUNG LADIES WHO FORGET THAT PICTURES ARE ENDURING, From the Boston Courier. It has become high time that a protest were entered in regard to the abuse of confidence in umateur photography. Society girls allow themselves to be taken in attitudes which are far more careless and familiar than they would think of assuming before the camera ot the pro- fessional photographer, and they seem entirely vo forget that the picture is quite as enduri when taken by the one as by vhe other. It seems so much like @ jest to most people to sit down to be photoarapned: by theic triends that they commit a hundred iollies which are harm- less enough, but of which such a record as the photograph’ makes is at least s pretty severe trial to good taste. ‘There are floating about in the hands of all society young men pictures in which young ladies of the most faultless pro- pricty are represented in » way which would give to strangers the impression that they were decidedly fast. Once negative is secured the amateur photographer, i’ man, is usually open to the persuasions of his iriends for oo} of any of his work that Plegues ‘them, while young lady artists are, if anything, a great deal Worse in the freedom’ with whiel they scatter their plates about.

Alligators as pets are getting to be more and more the thing, and the trade in these queer reptiles has grown to be quite an important in- dustry among North William street dealers in xoological curios, When the young alligators ‘are born in southern swamps in the spring the natives go and gather them in, The warm months find them in New York, where an alligator eight inches long and bly five months old’ ray be parcased if you go tthe PiBut just. now there sfe none on band any- mhere in the city. and an eight-inch reptile coald not be bought for even $100, unless some family were willing to part with ite pet or some belle who has fondled and ied the saw-backed ttle creature is merce: e bye to it for money. “Hundreds of the Ideous Teptiles were sold from Chat- ham: street inst summer and have been since fattened in as many private aquariums. ‘The inereased demand ‘about two years ago. The World’s fair in New Orleans taught northern visitors to the French quarters to look with kindly eyes upon the lizard's. big brother. There is a littie old bird store in the Rue Royale where they are sold by dozens at ‘and sev- enty-five cents each, and a neat little box tur- nished, so that the pets could be carried away. Ot course, some of them came to New York and aroused the interest of that growing class of who are always on the lookout for some- ‘new to caress or to talk about, The inev- 1 result was a brisk trade ia infant am- phibians py the William street folk. A Lexington avenue girl enjoys patting the expansive brow of a fourteen-inch alligator thatds over two years old. She has a silver col- Jar around its throat and @ chain attached to it, and the well-bred saurlan follows her like a pet dog. A neighbor who does not like the lady sent a note to the authorities complaining that ane Kept @ vicious dog for which she did not Pay s license, and it took two postal cards and Uaree or four days to explain the situation. ‘The baby alligator is usually kept in a large globe aquarium with a gravel bank rising out Of the water on which itrests.

Note, when about to purchase, the con- dition of the tin; if bulged outwards, don’t have il, even asa gift! We will explain the process of canning, to give weight to our warning. ‘The meat is packed in tins while raw, then sealed, and cooked in an outer vessel of boiling water, with sometimes the addition of a chem!- cal to raise the temperature. When cooked, the can is pierced, and, as soon as the air and Steam have been expelled, it is soldered. Ex- perts know when it Is ready for soldering; a moment too soon, and the ‘mischief is done, because if air is left in, the tin bulges, and the meat will not be good. ' On the contrary, if the tin has sunk, it 1s an infallible sign of goodness; it proves # vacuum, which is natural, as the meat shrinks when no air is left in the tin. Some may say, what matter if air be left in the tin? Simply this: nitrogen, an element of air, imparts to bodies with wHich it comes in contact a tendency to change and decay. Otten, on opening a tin of preserved goods, people, are heard to say “the air ts escaping,’ Instead of which, the slight ising sound is the result of the air rushing én, another prcot that there was a vaccum. Well, we goso far as to say that, assuming the outward sign of good- ness above referred to; a label bearing the name fs good exporter or importer; and also a reli able vendor of the article, whether meat, fiah, milk, soup or vegetable, ‘the chances are s ‘million to one against any being injured, much less poisoned, by tinned goods. Another caution, though: always look out for any little globules of solder that sometimes find their way inside the tin; and take care, es- yin the case of salmon and lobster, to empty the contents, as soon as opened, into’an earthenware vessel, ‘This is necessary for every- thing except milk. Tea Drinkers’ Diseases. ‘From the London Lancet. It is not # little curious that the diseases aris- ing from the wrong use of tea should be met with in greater frequency in countries foreign to its growth. It might have been supposed that where production went on there would be found those evils that attend the consumption of tea in their greatest extent; but such does not appear to be the case. The diseases due to tea are well known to doctors, but the public seem to be strangely indifferent to the teachings of thelr medical advisers in these matters, Re- cently, in France, M. Eloy has reminded medi- cal men how vast is tte pumber of diseases owning an allegiance to the dominion of Queen ‘Tea, The list of headings in M- Eloy’s paper is well calculated to arouse attention, and, we hope, to lead to some abatement of ‘this wide-spread disorder. America and England are the two countries that are afflicted most with the maladies arising from. the excessive consumption of tea, Individ- uals may suffer in @ variety of ways. It 4s customary to, speak of acute subacute and chronic “theism”—a form that has no connec- tion with theological matters, 1t is possible to bea “thetic” by profession or a “thelc” by pas- sion, ‘The predominance of nervous symptoms 1s a characteristic of theism; general excitation Of the tunetions of the nervous system may be observed, or the weakness may be noted more esyecially in the brain as distinguished from the spinal cord. Perversion of the sense of hearing is not atwll_an uncommon symptom— tients hearing voices that have no real or ob- Jectiveexisvence. ‘The irritability ‘that overs takes women so frequently may sometimes be clearly traced to an excessive indulgence in aflernoon tea. it is a mistake to suppose that itis the poor seamstress who is the chief sufferer from theism. No doubt the tannin which tea that has been standing long contains does a great amount of mischief, but the derangement that it causes hardly Belongs to that class of diseases with which We are at present concerned. Rather does theism belong to that genus of disease in which morphinism, caffeism and vanillism are found. The habit of tea drinking ts one that grows on its victims like the similar ones uf Opium or alcohol. Taken in strict moderation and. with due precautions in the mode of prepa- ration, tea 1s, like alcobol, a valuable sumu- Jang; in its abuse there ts also acertain analogy. There is hardly aimorbid symptom which may Dot be traceable to tea as its cause. This isa fact that general practitioners often use to their own satisfaction und to their patient’s advan- tage, if it happens to be that kind of patient who does not object to make some ice in order to be rid of roubles, ¢ Faith.
