BIG AMUtSEMENT PARK.

It is stated, on good authority, thatthe new syndicate who have recentlypurchased the Grand Isle railroad andour electric car line, is about to closea deal, or has closed a deal, for a largestrip of ground on General Meyer avenue, near London street, where anamusement park will be erected tofurnish a place of Outing for our localpeople. This subject has been takenup so often by the Algiers people thatthey will hail with delight even the

t suggestion from the great corporationwho are here and mean business, thatthey even expect or think that a pro-position of this kind is probable.There is no place on the Algiers sideof the river where picnics may be heldlike City Park, Audubon Park, or someof the other breathing spots on theother side. From time to time move-ments have been started, asking thatthe city purchase a sufficient amountof ground for a large park on this side.Our only park here now is one not de-veloped, which was donated to the

city by John McDonogh more than 50years ago. It is now settled by squat.ters of the African race, and is locatedon Teche street, the last block withinthe Orleans parish line.

Primitive Sorews.ecrews are still made in India just

as they were made originally, by wind-inag two soft wires together around amandrel. The wires are then carefullyseparated, and one of them is solderedinto a tube or nut, while the other issoldered to a short rod. All the silver-smiths make their screws in this way,and they are all left handed, for theyare wound over and over by the righthand. Screw bolts and screw presseswere introduced by Europeans, andfor many years all the cotton export-ed from India was compressed by a'massive screw of wood, turned roundby cattle yoked to a long lever. Thisscrew may still be found in remote dis-trlcts. It is cut entirely by band andis set ouat by winding two ropes aroundthe hand dressed beam to give theIptch.-EasterD Engineerlng.

A CuIrlem Punishment.The Dutch settlers tn the early days

e[ what is now New York city admln-istered a curious punishment to dlst•r-deiy persons. In the records of thecolony there appears the followingitem:

"Oct. 14, 1688. for drawing his knife,upon a person. Guysbert vanu Rlepcrs-lard is sentenced to throw himself threetimes from the sailyard of the yachtHope and to receive from each sailorthree lashes at the ringing of the bell."

Those Dutchmen were believers inthe emlcacy of cold water and counterIrritation to cool the angry passious.The bell was rung-every morning andevening to call persons to and fromtheir labors and at 9 o'clock at night toannounce the hour for going to bedOuysbert, therefore, received not onlythree duckings. but also three lashings.and doubtless ever after that kept hisknife in its sheath when his temperwas bad. The bellringer was a not-able man. He was the court messen-ger, the grave digger, the chorister.and sometimes the schoolmaster.When the minister was absent he reada sermon to the congregation.--Har-per's.

Mining Camp Fare.Those who cannot eat without a cor-

rectly folded napkin, spotless chinaand silver will do well to avoid thespreads described by E. Ecob In Out-Ing. The author says:

"Eating at a temporary mining campIsn't altogether attractive. The arrayof blackened lard pails steaming aboutthe hearth and the ribs of beef, pickednearly bare, on the table, may not atfrst sight seem alluring. But you'll

and that the frijoles (strong red Mexi-can beans) and the cold sour doughs.faked with black from the pan, andthe strong tea don't taste so bad, afterall. Maybe you think you couldn't eatfrom battered tin plates with batteredblack forks that taint the food amid alitter of saddles. soiled mattresses ri-fee and tobacco Juice. But, then, per-haps you thought you couldn't eat theslrup from which you had picked outflies and ants. All that's really neces-sary for perfect enjoyment is a goodappetite."

Ancient Inooulation.The practice of inoculation against

smallpox is usually supposed to belongto the eighteenth century. The suppo-sitlon is true enough so far as Europeis concerned, but it was no more thana rediscovery of facts well knownages ago. Inoculation was practicedby the ancient Brahmans. and theirmethod is fully described In the Vedas.They rubbed the skin of the patientuntil it was red, then scratched it witha sharp instrument and laid upon Ita plece of cotton soaked In the varl-elous paus obtained from smallpoxvesicles of the previous year. Such re-appearances of ancient knowledge arecommon enough, indeed far more com-mon than is-usually admitted. Amongthe major scientific theories and dis-coveries of today there Is scarcely onethat ean sustain a claim to originalityIn the face of our increasing knowl-edge of oriental literature.

I my b Anratla to ewag .tehleket hrms to knew that a aminlee•thuslast In the pastime of poultryraising lived and fourished as far backas the year 410 A. D., when Alarie theGoth was busying himself about thesaek of Rome. The Rev. Dr. GeorgeHodges' "Saints and Heroes" is theauthority for the story.

Only the Roman emperor seemed uno-moved by this tremendous calamity.He was In a safe retreat at Ravennawhen the news came. It is remember-ed of Honorlus that there were onlytwo matters In which he was everknown to show interest. One was thesafety of his own Imperial person;the other was the raising of hens, Inwhich he was very successful. Hlikfavorite hen was named Rome.

"Your majesty, Rome has perished!"they came crying.

"Why." he said. "only an hour agoshe was feeding out of my hand!"

And when they told him that it wasthe capital oa the world which hadbeen destroyed-he was much relieved.

The Gloaming.The "gloaming" is by origin akin to

gloom. The root idea is to look covert-ly from beneath the brows not withfull open eyes, and so the gloaming Isthat time of day when the sun, sinkingbelow the horizon, shines obscurelyunder the advancing shades of night.as eyes may gleam dimly from lower-ing brows.

Byron, the poet, wrote, "As gloam-ing. the Scottish word for twilight, hasbeen recommended by many literarymen and particularly by Dr. Moore inhis letters to Burns, I have ventured touse it on account of its harmony."

The evening star is called the "gloam-ing" star in Scotland. and Lowell's"The snow had begun in the gloam-Ing" and Hogg's "'Twixt the gloamingand the mirk, when the kye comehame," are familiar instances of itsuse.

Earthquakee.Earthquakes generally do their work

with great rapidity, but there are ex-ceptions. While Caracas and Lisbonwere destroyed in a few minutes, theCalabrian earthquakes beginning ini1783 lasted four years. Earthquakestravel across the earth at velocitiesvarying between several hundred andseveral thousand feet a second, thegreater the intensity of the shock thegreater being the velocity. The seawaves that frequently accompanyearthquakes also travel at tremendousspeeds. A submarine earthquake nearthe coast of Japan in 1854 gave rise tosea waves which traversed the wholebreadth of the Pacifice at the rate of870 miles an hour. At Simoda, Japan,the waves from this earthquake werethirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal..they were only six inches high.

"Solid Gold."Commercially speaking, the term

"olid gold" is a misnomer, since suchgold has not been used for many, manyyears. Some of the ancient Romanjewelry and some of that of the ren-al•sance period was, indeed, made ofpure gold, worked up by hand with thecrudest of tools, but since the old daythere has been a constantly increasingemployment of alloys, for the reasonthat jewelers found that the harder thegold was rendered by good alloys thegreater its wearing qualities and themore secure. therefore, was the settingof the gems it contained. Nowadaysjewelry is of 18. 14 or 10 carats, ac-cording to the design and character ofthe article, and it is much more frequently 10 than 18 carats.--ClncinnatEnquirer.

Flank Steaks.The flank contains a broad, flat mus-

cle known as the flank steak, which isa very desirable piece of meat it takenfrom a well fattened animal. There isno waste to it whatsoever. It is coarseIn fiber. but very rich in flavor, and, Ifcarefully prepared, is a very choice cut.In thin cattle the flank steak is nota•sually removed, the flesh being madeinto rolled roasts or sold for stews. Arolled roast of the hind flank Is one ofthe most economical cuts in the wholeanimal. It is good to eat, is cheap andcontains no bone.-National Provi-sioner.

Musio In Japan.Music as an art has little standing

in Japan, according to a letter in theTraveler's Gazette. It is left almostentirely to women, who cultivate it tothe extent of playing on a guitar-likeinstrument called the samisen. "Inthe not very remote past," says thewriter, "no gentleman could eonellethe practice of masde with masculinedignity, and this state of afalss ischanging but slowly."
