CHAPTER I ; \How is it , Dore, round or flat ?\ \Flat , Victor , very flat indeed. \ Tho question was asked by a slender boy of fourteen , with a pair of mischiev- ous eyes shining out of a pole , p inched face. It was answered by a g irl of seven- teen , his sister. She stood in an open door , drawing on a pair of long g loves , and looking with a level , sombro gazo in- to tho distance. This same tall , lovel y girl, Theodora Medrow b y name , had all her life been subject to moods , sometimes to tantrums. When a littlo child , sho had once , in a fit of despondency or dis- appointment , expressed herself in this way : \Tho world is just ns flat as a table , and I feel liko I was shoved ri g ht up to tho ed ge , where everything falls off!\ Her famil y never forgot that remark. Dore ' s sister Amber sat near the win- dow , her lap full of odds and ends of mil- linery. She was busil y engaged , trimming irbrown straw hat , and sing ing softly to herself as she worked. She was a year older than Theodora , but the latter , when the g irls were abroad together , always took the lead , and strangers invariabl y addressed her first. \Shall I put in these Httle tips?\ Amber asked , holding up the partl y trimmed hat , and turning it about on her hand. \No , \ said Dore shortl y. \The curl won 't stay in them two hours ; they have been curled so often. \ \It is the pretty nose av ye that has the curl in it now , \ said Victor , looking up again from his book. \Would ye mind telliu ' mo what mi ght bo the maning of that same? What ' s tho matter with the durli n t ony how V Tho boy was full of odd conceits , and a natural mimic , but his racy brogue provoked no smile from Dore She onl y said, \These g loves smell of nap htha. \ \They ' re nicel y cleaned thoug h , \ said Amber ; \I spent an hour on them. \ \I' ve been wondering whether it would ever end. \ \You mean the smell ? Oh , yes ; it will disappear at once , when you go into tho open air. \ \I mean tho era of cleaned g loves and homo trimmed hats. \ Amber wh istled softl y, ns sho pawed over her box of trimmings for something that she wan ted , and that wasn 't t here. Presentl y she said , \Wo are a pair of self made sisters , Dore dear , but we are decidedl y nice looking and every bod y likes us. \Wo do not have any very starlling good luck , but wo have good health and good times , and I think we ought to bo satisfied. \ \Perhaps so , \ said Dore , \but all the same , I am not. I don 't like going to s eo tho p ickle man , hut I shall havo to go , so good b y. \ Sho glanced back , meeting Amber s sunny look with a. forced smile , then walked away down street , with tho pe a u- liar , graceful , well-poised gait that stran- gers noticed with approval , and that her g irl friends sometimes tried in vain to imi- tate. It was an admitted thing that no other g irl in Wagnorsville carried herself liko Doro Medrow. When sho was fairl y out of hearing Victor remarked : !'Tho littlo sister ' s decidedl y out of kilter this morning. I wonder what' s happened. It' s something more than tho old g loves. \ \Poor Doro I\ said Amber ; \I wish things were more to hor mind , or else that sho could bring hor mind to accep t things as they are. It worries mother to see hor in thoso moods , and sho has thorn so often latel y. Just tow she is vexed over Undo Zene ' s coming back, Sho has boon p lan- ning to ask Boss Parker to spend a week with us , and now , of course , we cannot havo hor. \ \Well , that doesn 't disappoint me , \ said the boy with an odd grimace. l ean stand Dore ' s airs , but when it comes to Bono Parker ' s , oxomo mo. When sho in horo , sho sooms to regard mo about as superfluous ns Doro docs Uncle Zone. \ Amber laug hed , and , true to hor habit of making excuses for every body, said : ••Rose doesn 't appreciate boys , because she novor had a brother. \ Tho history of the Medrow children was liko this : Thoir father died when Victor was little inoro than a bab y. H o was an excellent and lmrd-woikingphysi- cian , but ho wan not a raoiioy - iunkor. Ho loft his family a homo and tlio income from a small life polioy. Mrs, Medrow was a lady b y birth and education , and the fact was apparent ovou when thn euros and labors of hor widowhood had bowed her shoulders and hardoi i od her small hands. Amber looked liko hor moth«r, She was small mid blonde , and moved a bout in a quick yet noi seless manner, Theodora was an out aml - oul father ' s girl , and Victor looked and acted liko no ono but hit own dr oll , original self. Neith er of the girls had over boon n ont away to s o ' iool , but bolh had got nil ther e was to bo hud out of very excellent pub- lic hl g h -a niool . Mrs. Modrow supple- mented this lonuhing with lessons in Kronoh and drawing. This diawingprau lice was Auihor ' ii special deli ght. From hornnrl y ch ildhood , - ih o had imulo pioturos , and whim sh o wiih ei ghteen n ho was able to n rn k o an ocim u ioiiiil prett y penny with her pencil and brush, Mrs, Modrow had a friend in Chiengo , who , about ouoo a year , invited tho g irls for a two-wunks ' visit. Thoa ii visits wore thn vnii o st good U nion they over linil , iiml it was dining ono of them that Aniher discovered Unit dainty water-color work wan worth money. An advorliHomont appeared in a morning p aper , calling for water color artiiit s to piiiiit for a whohumlo hoiuin smal l things , Hiioh an card s , calendars , favors , booklets , ti j ott o rs , and tlio like, Amber took her littlo color-box iiml wont down lu tho bi g s tovo in person, Qllivr J a diei i worn therii nuking for trial work to take homo with then) , A portly momhnnt approached Ambor and a sk ml hur what iiho could do, Sho rep lied i \If y ou will kindly furnish mo w ith it s hi'ol of Whatman ' s pap er , I wi ll show you wli.it I can do right horn, \ The pa per win) broug ht , and Amber , iiittlug in n quiet corner of tho busy iitoro , proe o odml to point Jlmv o r u niid birds , pretty scrolls , winged hour-g lasses , utid tlimnb - iuvH \uutlnuapo n in s op ' m , ships at sea nu I suif s inlMcn r»nku with gulls Hy- ing over thorn , ho es in clover mid old brid ges ami boat Iiouhoi i — all out of lir - r own head , and nearl y an fast as una could write. The Medrow Q uitclaim. ' I' hc merchants were deli g ht ed , and gave her work at once , but at a very small price , of course. After she returned home , sho received , from time to time , a small order , which sho filled promptl y and wished for more. If sho had remained in tho cit y, sho would doubtless havo had p lent y to do ; but to tho doctor ' s widow tho thoug ht of g iving up one of hor g irls was liko parting with an eye. Victor was the dearest joy of tho little famil y, and at tho same time their sorest trouble. He was always bri g ht and merry, and so far as ho was able , busy and hel p ful. But he was a sad sufferer from asthma. Sometimes for weeks to- gether ho would not bo able to lio down at ni g ht , nnd his labored breathing made his eyes look large , and his face weaz- ened. Then there wus Uncle Zenas. He was Dore ' s \ old man of tho sea. \ Ho was a distant relative of Mrs. Medrow , and had always been a hanger-on of tho famil y. After tho doctor ' s death , other relatives gave him a home , but he would persist in returning to the Medrows , and stay ing on for weeks , and even mouths. He wos quite without means of his own , and they wore ill able to support him ; but Mrs. Medrow always received him kind- l y, and Amber ' s nature was too sunny to feel the old man ' s presence as a shadow. Victor liked Undo Zcno , for his jack- knife was always sharp, and his fund of stories about trapp ing and survey ing in tho west , never ran out. The man of ei g hty nnd the boy of fourteen were eon - genial mates. To Doro , however , the sound of Uncle Zene ' s hi g h-keyed voice and senile laug h was tho most disagreeable thing in tho world ; and sho irked herself to sore- ness over his burdensome presence in tho house. \Why don 't ho stay where th ey are able and willing to keep him ?\ sho would exclaim. And hor mother would answer gentl y: Because he is attached to us and to this home. I' m afraid , Dore dear , you are committing a great wrong in grud g ing the harmless old man a welcome. \ \But our house is email , and he is in the way so , and is such a trial every way 1\ \Every famil y has its trials , \ said the widow , \ and wo cannot hope to be ex- emp t. \ \I think Victor ' s poor health is all the trial we ought to have. \ \So you may think , daug hter , and it is a great trial , but while he bears it so man- full y we oug ht not to be too much cast down. I stiH hope ho will be bettor as ho grows older. And wo know nothing of real trouble , while we are all together , and neither death nor disgrace comes near us. Never forgot that , Doro—never forget it for a moment. \ This littlo conversation took p lace just before Doro started out to call on tho pro- prietor of the p icklo factory. Mrs. Mod- row had contracted to furnish that estab- lishment with some hundreds of young cucumbers from her garden , and Doro ' s errand was to carry the information that tho cucumbers woro picked and sorted , read y for delivery. Uncle Zenas sat under an app le tree on tho sunny side of the house , busil y occu- p ied mending Mrs. Medrow ' s clothes- basket with cano sp lints out of an old chair bottom. Doro had been gone per- haps half an hour , when ho got up and hobbled into the house with this nnnouuee - i nent: \There ' s a feller just druv up in a ono-hoss wagon , with a patent ohurn in tho hind end of it. I wouldn 't buy it , Honrietty, \ ho said earnestl y. \Them chaps lie liko sin about thoir patent con - s aras. I was fooled onco on the ohurn dicker , moro ' n forty years ago , and I toll you , Honrietty, I wouldn 't bo coaxed nor wheedled into buyin ' tho thing. If I was you I'd jos tell him , kind like , to marvel on to where tuckers was plon- tior. \ Victor Was laughing nnd wheezing till ho could scarcel y gasp. Tho idea of his mother buying a churn , when thoyhadno cow , struck him as too absurb for oven ono of Uncle Zene ' s childish vagaries. Amber l iad gouo out to tho express wagon , which had halted at tho gate. Sho si gn o d tho book which tho delivery man h « ld open for hor , an d then tho man lifted a rather hig h , square box—Uncle Zene ' s churn—out of tho wagon and p laced it on tho veranda. It was quite li ght , so Ambor carried it into sitting-room , and Vi ctor hunted a hutchot with which to open it. Evon before it was open a faint fragrance diffused throug h tho room , and wh en tho top wuu lifted a whifl of violet scout-powder enmo forth that was almost overpowering. Th e largo box contained a groat number of H at , whito boxes , and ouo of thoso con- ta ined a handkerchief or g lovo s iiehot of B i vliii , uoivtl y made up nml trimmed , and ready for decorating. \A s p lendid order I\ oriod Am bor. \Oh , I wish Doro woro horo I Here, Undo Zonn , hel p mo carry the boxes up to my room , and I'll go to work at onoi> . \ . \No , Amboi' , \ said Mrs. Modrow , \tako ilium into tho pallor. Your room is loo small. You must do this largo order in tho parlor nnd havo every thing to your hand i p le nty of room and p lenty of venti- lation , or this heavy porf iimo will g ive you a headache. \ \An d I inuiit paint tho dainty things q uiokly, \ said tho oxoitod g irl , \ and r e- store them to thoir nests , or all their iiweiitii c HB will ho wasted on tho desert air of Wii g norHvillu , \ \Thoro should he a lottor , \ said Mrs , M edrow ; \ porlmp s you will find in tho b ox. \ \No , I have looked , \ Amber replied, \I think thoro will ho ouo in the mail this mo rning, and Doro will got it when sho oiiIIh nt tlio Post Office, \ \Wnl , anyhow , \ mild Undo Z ouuo , an lio poluiled back lo his banket uiuiiding, \I s ' poHO the hull lioun n 'll Hindi liko a es- sence shop till them lilamu foolish thingii Is limit out of it, A f n li bo , H onrietty, if you 'd bilo Homo cnbl x ige for dinner , It mi ght kinder take tho a idgo oil thin s ick- oniu ' pasy - bcd 'lluviu, Ali g ht try it any how, 1 Doro went, straig ht lo thn p iddo w orks , nnd p erformed what in her mind she cnllvil her \ squalid errand. \ Wh en alio hilt tho p luou sho found herself wondering why th e common , homely details of living an d (jetting \¦ living should bo to hor no unspeakably d iiitiutwtu l , Tlio aonduinon slii' arriv ed at wuu diiirudoriiitin of Hie I gnorance nnd egnl imn of youth. Hl t o Willi ton flnely organized, w m I io rd l eded , 'to ho content with hur humble and restricted l ot. i' u lc had been iiukhul to her, Thorn was no use try ing to be happy. Foolish child and blind ! Sho took a roundabout course homo ward to prolong Jier walk , which brought her at leng th to the princi pal street of Wagnorsville. Sho stopped nt tie village post-office , and went in , thinking, \May be there will be a lottor for Ambor. Sho is al ways expecting ono from Todd n u d Wilson about art work. \ Sho unlocked tho Medrow box nnd took from it a coup le of letters for her mother , ono for Amber from Todd and Wilson , sure onoag h , and what was this ?—a long, yellow envelope directed io herself. Doro did not like to break a seal in tlio post- office , but sho felt too impatient to wait till sho reached homo before learning what this official-looking packet con- tained. On the opposite corner was a music store. Doro crossed over , and , seating herself on a p iano stool behind a tall up- ri g ht , she proceeded to open tho yellow envelope , disclosing a legal document , a two-dollar bill and a letter , which she read twice. The letter was from a lawyer named Kirke , living in the town of Munoie , Ind r The legal paper was a quitclaim deed which was sent for her si gnature and those of her brother and sister. Tho letter was quite a long one , and even after reading it twice Doro failed to got the full mean- ing of it. \But there is old Squire Butterfield , \ thoug ht she , \he will know all about it. I will carry the things down to his office over the cooper-shop, and have hiinexp lain tho whole business. \ She found the justice at home , in bis little eig ht-by-ten office , and laid before him the deed and the letter , both of which ho read attentivel y, while Doro sat on a wooden chair and wondered how long a window could go uneleaned and still admit li g ht , and by what manner of hocus poena the squire could havo produced such an even spattering of ink over everything in the room. \This is a prett y- tolerable interest™ ' letter , \ the old squire remarked atlength. \But the hull thing looks to me sorter mixed , \ and his gray eyes g lanced shrewd- l y from beneath his bushy brows , throug h a pair of large silver-framed spectacles , resting low on his nose. \Sorter mixed , I say. \ CHAPTER II. Mr. Erko ' s letter stated that the ac- company ing quitclaim related to a certain p lot of land in the town of Muncie , which a client of his , Mr. John Asbuvy, had re- centl y boug ht. This square of lots had once been the property of Theodora ' s uncle , Cap tain George Modrow , of tho United States Army. Ho had , many years ago , deeded it—so tho records showed—to his father Josep h and his mother , Rebecca Modrow , \ on account of filial duty and affection , \ for tho term of their n atural lives , after which it should revert to the said George Medrow , or his heirs. The cap tain ' s fath- er had subsequentl y sold the propert y, making a warranty deed to the purchaser , while it did not appear that ho had over received such a deed from his son. The lan d had changed hands several times , and within a year had boon boug ht hy M r, Asbury, who , in procuring an abstract of title , had discovered tho above-mentioned break. At this point in tho letter , Mr. Butter- field exp lained to Dore what was mean t b y an \ abstract , \ also the character of different kinds of deeds. Mr. Kirke stated that ho had made care- ful inquiries and became satisfied that she , Theodora Modrow , hor sister Amber , and hor brother Victor , children of Step hen Modrow docoascd , were the solo heirs of tho late Captain George Modrow. Tho enclosed quitclaim deed would supply tho missing link in tho claim of title , and he respectfull y requested herself , hor sister , and o rothor to si gn the same in the pres- ence of a justice of tho peace , nnd then return it to his address. Two dollars woro enclosed to cover justice ' s loo , pos- tage , oto. \Of course , \ said Squire Butterfield , \I couldn 't do no bett or than to oxorcuto this paper , and ta ke my foe for it; but I' ve knowod you children ' since you woro borne , and I don 't like to do it , w ithout g iviu ' you t ho benefits of my doubts. \ His nir of profound insi ght made a strong impression upon Doro. \Do you think thoro is anything wong about t ho dood?\ sho aske d. \I hav e al- ways hoard that my Un olo George gave a homo to my grand parents in Indiana. Th o country was now then , and I s uj i po s o it did not cost him a grout dual. \ \T hat' s all strai g ht enoug h , \ im iil tho old man i \but ab out your grandpa ' s s ol- liu ' tho p lace , when it was onl y bin for li fe—that' s what gets mo. Ho -was a minister , to b o sure , and nn n rule thoy ar e not overl y s harp about business , but I can hardl y b ellovo ho was such a— chump, ns y ou might say, as to don th ing of tha t kind. \ Ho r eflected in nihnico awhile , cli'u m - rnin g on tho tublu with his stumpy lingers , the n resumed, \After ni ls u u nl , tho Medrows , if thny woro brainy and chiidi-full of book learn- in ' , woro an ea s y-goin ' , on w orldly sot, Your grandpa w a * a prcao ' . i or , you r u ndo an army officer , and your own pn u duo tor—a ll nlco men , a nd as smart nB thoy nmko ' oin , but no ways grasiiin ' or mon ey. g ottln ' . \ '•Mor o ' n tho p i ty, \ said Dore , laughing, \ s eeing that they are ropro n ontodou earth now , b y two g irls w ith tastes bnyoi u l thoir iiieau n , nnd ono Hinn l l , a n lhinutio hoy. \ Then sho addod i \Our father thought ho wan loiiving us something, no doubt , but h is affairs were entangled , nml u lrun gorn took advantage of us. \ \Yon oug ht, lo have money—b y George you ought I\ wi id old Butlerllold . liia j yeH resting admiringly upon tho sp irited young face before him. \T hat little home-lot out there now—I just hot your grand pa , when ho got homo- nick for tho oait , buin ' ni l ulono after your grandma died , why ho just naturall y let tho whole thing go for almost nothing. But look here , Dory, it' s vnln ablnemnigh now, Tiin t m have changed out thoro, Mmiulo ' u a nnlnrnl gau town, Properly lias doubled itself , ov er and over , with in two yearn, They ' ve got fuot' rioii thoro of every kind—a g ln ns fuot' ry, n wo c ii j nn - b owl fuot' ry, n ohalr -s tufl ' fucl' ry, nml I don 't know what all , I believe limy inako and n lil p ' ino ut every kind of uiiufu l common rniid o , un lnH u ni o bbo It' s post hol es ; \ and h e ohncWed softly over Ills own joko. \I don 't know , of c o wne , j iuil haw Ihcm loin lay, nor junt h ow valuable lliov bo i ImtHOinoboily ' iim i g htily intoro n t ml in ' om , ' and I shouldn 't wonder if you could make them pay you something handsome if you refused to quictclaim unless thoy did. At any rate I'd find out more about that propert y, and if this hi s t' ry of it is nil square. \ It was nearl y noon when Dore returned homo. Victor camo in from the kitchen. His thin chiek s woro red ; ho had been hel p ing his mother with tho dinner. \What' s tho matter , Dore , \ he said ; ''you look excited. \ \I am. \ . \Well , then wo all are. Amber has just got a fifty-dollar order. \ \I know ; I havo thoir loiter bore. \ \But the things camo , while you were gone. Can 't you smell ' em?\ \Smell them?\ \Yes ; they ' re satin scent-sachets , all loaded and p rimed. Pot (ono of Amber ' s house-names) has begun work on thorn alread y.

I'll tell you all together. \ Sho did tell them , and wondered ' at their indifference. Mrs. Medrow said , \Of course , Do re , nil there is for you children to do , \a to si gn tho deod , and let Mr. ButleriieM semi it back. I think you had better go down to the squire ' s this afternoon , and attend to it at once. \ \But Squire Butterfidd thinks it would be foolish to si gn it , without finding out more about it , \ said Dore. \He thinks , perhaps , we may have ri g hts in that prop- ert y that are worth looking after. \ Well , well , come lo dinner now , \ said her mother. \Tho law-papors can wait without spoiling, but my dump lings can- not. And I hope tho day ' s excitements have not spoiled my children ' s appetites for browned beef and potatoes. \ They had finished dinner and were sit- ting around the table , when Dore asked , \ Wouldn 't you liko to have a lot of money, mother ?\ The widow looked annoyed at the ques- tion , but answered cheeril y, \I could uso more than I have , but I waste no thoug ht in wishing for what I have not , and never will have. And , Dore , child , with tho simp le life to which we are accustomed , what need have we of what you call ' a lot of money '? What would we do with it?\ \One thing we would do , \ said Dore , \ would be to take Victor away from hero , to some p lace where he could breathe. \ A pained look crossed her mother ' s face , and the boy broke out with , \Oh , stop there 1 I can breathe all I need , and I don 't tako a cent' s worth of stock in what tho do ctors say about change of climate. \ \That is because you know it is useless to think about it , while we are so poor. And Amber , with her beautiful talent 1 What a pleasure it would be to have her tako lessons from a good teacher. Havo you ever thought of that?\ \Of course I have thought of it , \ said Mrs. Medrow ; \but wh y ag itate all those sore questions just now ?\ \Because I believe this quitclaim deed has something in it for all us. \ \But who can find out anythin s r about it ? We cannot afford to hue a lawyer to look into it , so wh y worry over it ?\ Then Undo Zonas put in: \You mi ght just put on your bonnet , Honrietty, and run over to Muncie—it' s onl y a matter of 200 miles—and liavo a talk with them fel- lors that' s so anxious to got tho children to sign off. \ Tho littlo widow shrank into tho back of hor chair.

TO BE OONTIOTEn . ,1 ¦*¦ ¦ Shinneooct (Jamil , Some v ery interesting facts and fi gures in connection with tho Shinnocook Canal are contained in tho annual report of Stnto Engineer Marti n Sohonok , who says t he close of Inst year witnessed tho com- p letion of tho waterway at a total cost of $08 , 000. Prom its bog ining in 1880 tho w ork continued intermittently under var- ious appropriations , and thou gh this pol- i oy of in n ufilcont appropriations its total cost has bocn a bout $10 , 000 in excess of the, ori g in al estimate.

Tho tiny feather duster has become a feature among household imp lements , says tho Baltimore Herald. It ii ono of those hand y little things of which the housekeeper is wont to declare that she •' reall y could not keep house without it , \ after sho has once owned ono and tested its merits. Tho favorite size is no larger than a small orange , while its handle is at least throo feet long. With such a cunning little duster ns this the housewife who re- joices to think that the shelf of her cabi- net and her daint y bits of bric-a-brac are free from dust , is enabled tc reach hor treasures without any extra exertion. But like very many desirable littlo trifles , tho tiny feather duster is expen- sive. Its cost is often greater than that of the larger members of the feather- duster family, and , as it is not very dur- able , the housewife is apt to think twice before expending the dimes required for its possession. There is a very prett y way . of making long-handled dusters , so that thoy art nearl y or quite as good as the feather dusters , and are , moreover , prett y enoug h to be hung up in a consp icuous p lace. To manufacture these home made dust- ers it ia a c cessory to got several very large sheets of tissue paper. Suppose you select blue , as that is the fashionable color of the season , or you may chooso any other color that will har- monize with tho appointments of your room. Fold the paper until it consists of a long stri p very many thicknesses deep. A large shoot of tissue paper will fold into perhaps , twenty-four thicknesses. ' N ow cut it exactl y as if you were cutting fringe , letting tho fringe be about four inches deep. Have tho fringed strips very narrow , lotting them bo scarcely wider than a match. When you have cut the full leg th of your paper stri p, hind it securel y around the stick which remains from your last feather duster , and , over the ragged ed ge which is formed by twisting tho paper around the stick , tie a knot of ribbon. The whole affair will not cost more than ei g ht or ten cents , and you will find it so serviceable and pretty that , when it is gone , you will want to make anoth er.

The incorporation of tho Garden Cit y Company, with a cap ital of §2 , 500 , 000, has naturall y created much interest. Tho incorporators are ex-Jud ge Horace Russell , and Jabish Holmes , J r., o f No. 2S0 Broadway ; Proscott Hall Butler and Allan W.

Butler , of South Orange ; James Clinch Smith , of Smilhtown ; Doveroaux Emmott , of St. James , nnd Frank Sayro Osborne , of Chicago. Tho purposers of tho company as a Sentinel representative learned from Manager L. H.

In the organization of the company, Prescott Hall Butler was made President; Allan W. Evarts , Secretary, and ex Judge Horace Russell , Treasurer. The main office and princi pal business interests will all bo located here. The propert y, embracing about 2 , C00 acres , lays between Clinton Street on the east and Floral Park on the west—as fine s tract of land as is foun d on our fair island. Plans are now being drawn for the var- ious improvements contemp lated , that of the club house , which will cost between fort y ane fift y thousand dollars , being about definitel y decided upon. This will be erected near the lake , modernl y and elaboratel y equired and unequalled by few. Convenientl y located b y tho lake , boating and fishing may be engaged in during tho summer , skating and tobog- ganing in tho winter. Tho lake will be enlarged to tho proposed ori g inal size to conform to tho purposes of tho company in these proposed sports. The erection of cottages will be started as soon as arrangements can be made , their cost vary ing from $2 , 500 up to S25 , - 000 , if desired. They will be leased or sold , as preferred , or land will be dis- posed of that will be satisfactory to all interests. jjj ^ The formation of this company with its purposes , is of great moment to cur residents and the townspeop le and will result in mutual benefit. In a few years tho p laco will doubtless bo so changed and enlarged that all will wonder wh y some such scheme was not perfected years ago. The future is very flattering. Tho Garden Cit y club , of Garden City, lias been incorporated with the Secretary of State , for social , gymnastic , athletic , literary and other sporting purposes.

Unfo ' rtunat e Fom. Shang hai chickens aro born with an in- ordinate pnir of logs , which continue to grow into regular drumsticks of tholong- cst dimensions. It is said that althoug h good layers , they are very fond of de- vouring thoir own eggs. A farmer who has tried them and found them wanting, g ives the following account.of their pe- culiarities. Thoir true name , ho says , is \Shank-hi g h , \ nnd ho pronounces them rig htl y named. . Thoy have no bod y at all , and when tho head is cut oft tho legs como ri g ht npnrfc. I don 't seo how thoy can sot on their eggs—my jaok knifo can set as well as they can. Thoy don 't sit on the roost tho same as other chickens do ; not a bit of it. When thoy attempt to sit as other chickens do , thoy fall off backward. They sit when thoy cat , I know , for I' ve soo n ' om do it. And I' ve soon ' om try to oat standing, but thoy couldn 't fetch it j for when thoy pock at a grain of corn on tho ground , thoy don 't moro ' n half roach it , but thoir head bobs ri ght between thoir legs and makes om turn a complete Somerset. I'd as soon see a pair of com- passes walking about my yard as thoso shank-hi g hs. Thoy crow , too , along time before day, when it isn ' t day. Probabl y because they can seo dayli g ht long before a com- mon chicken can . A World' s Fair Olara Bake. N niionnl rostnuv a nta aro tobon feature of the World' s Fair.

Acquired a uni que fame through their inabilit y, to refrain from carrying out any command sudden- l y g iven them. Another menial disorder g iving, grotesque effects has been ob- served in a patient in a Lyons hospital. The victim in this case is in constant dread of being touched. He moves away , if any bod y approaches , withdraws hie hand if any bod y attempts to take it , keeps turning his head nervously if any bod y is behind him , and while in the hos- p ital jumped out of bed whenever a p hy- sician came near to examine him. This singular condition , which has been named \ ap hep hobia , \ seems to be hereditary, as this man ' s brother and nephew ore also affected. A Scientific Kettle. —A n ew German invention for boiling and distilling is like- l y to provo of importance for many pur- poses. It provides a boiling vessel which does not co to d in contract with the fire , and in which may be boiled , melted or distilled exp losive combustible and other substan- ces which require boating to a tempera- ture that must not bo exceeded and is above that of the ordinary steam bath. Strong p i pes are cast into tho walls of the vessel. Those aro connected to pi pes heated in a suitable stove or furnace , which may be p laced at a safe distance away, and hot water under pressure is thus caussed to circulate around the res- |? ~ sel. The p i pes may be made'to bear . a > ' pressure of 300 atmosp heres , a.idfie con- fined water may be readil y g iven ' any de- sired temperature up to 700 deg. Fahr. or more. Ai r a x d Oxygen as Liquids. —Li quid oxygen boils at 296 deg. below zero Fahr., yet Prof. Dewar , speaking at the Royal Institution tho other day, astonished his audience b y exhibiting a little bulb of this substanco in the heated hall throughout tho lecturo with an evaporation of only one-fifth. This importan t result of pre- serving li quefied gases for examination at leisure was accomp lished , after unsuccess- ful trials of ordinary nonconducting de- vices , by surrounding the vessel contain- ing tho li quid with a very hi g h vacuum , tho influx of heat from tho air being re- duced b y this means to ono - soventh. Li quid air was also shown , and mani pu- lated liko water. In color the li quid air is a much loss deep blue than, the liquid oxygon , it is not so strong ly magnetic , and in the spectroscope it appears simply ns diluted oxygen. The nitrogen and oxygon of tho air li quefy as a whole , but on evaporation f h i nitrogen distills off first. T d e Fon s i or Eaas. —Various attempts havo boon mado to account for tho ai v or- sity in s hapo soon in eggs. A recent study convinces Dr. Nicolsk y that t he dif- ferences may be all traced to gravity, and he finds his idea comfirmod by a U tho eggs in Iho zoolog ical collection of the St. Petersburg University. He supposes that pressure by tho sidos of tho ovary tends to elongate tho egg before tho shell h as hardened. In birds which keep . a vortical position while at rest , as do the falcon nnd tho owl , tho soft egg is made s hort by tho action of tho wei g ht o f tho bod y against tho ovarian pressure ; while in birds that , liko tho grobe , aro nearl y a l- ways swimming, tho egg is lengthened b e - cause the birds weigh t nets with the com- pros s ion by t ho ovary.
