A CLEVER TRIcK.-Our very pleas
ant cotemporary Hearth and Home tells
its young readers how TO take coin out
of water without wetting the hand, and
this is the method: Fill plate with
wat er to the depth of about quarter of
an inch; a coin is then placed in the wa
ter; a piece of paper is then lighted, and
put, while burning, on the surface of the
water, and covered with tumbler, the
water will rush under the tumbler, and
leave the coin in the plate, when it may
be lifted without wetting the fingers. -
This is very interesting experiment
as it affords good illustration Of the
expansive power of heat, and of the pres
sure of atmosphere. But we will tell
our young friends of a more wonderful
and equally simple method of doing the
same thing. Suppose you were required
to take coin from the bottom of deep
jar, or even pail of water, without wet
ting your hand, and suppose further that
yonr naked hand was thrust through the
water, how do you suppose it could be
done9 Simply By shaking little yc1p
dunn substance that may be procured
cheaply at any drug STOREY, over the sur
face of the liquid. Then plunge your
hand boldly but steadily into the water
and it will not wet your hand in the least
The cause of the water not wetting the
hand is the same in principle as that
which causes the dew drop to stand in
spherical drops on the cabbage leaf, and
and the water to roll off the ducks back
without wetting it. BY somewhat sim.
liar power, spiders and other insects walk
on the surface Of water without wetting
themselves, and without sinking in the
liquid to any percsptibls degree.

Borgia Come. Again.

The London Medical Press and circu.
lar has the following:
A very startling communication has
been made to US by a gentleman occupy
ing a most prominent post n this country,
of the existence of most deadly poison,
by the inhalation of which. simply through
the medium of letter sent by post in
the ordinary way. the reader will sudden
ly drop down dead, with all the symp
toms of asphyxia. The position and ac-
quirements of our informant should place
his evidence beyond suspicion; neverthe-
less, before giving entire credence TO such
startling report, we are anxious to OBJ
tain confrmatory evidence from any of
our readers, in whose minds suspicious of
foul play have arisen when investigating
cases of sudden death, and what such
symptoms were. Certainly the following
clipping from Canadian paper, relative
to the recent sudden death Of person Of
note, looks very ugly: HE received an
Anonymous letter, and while reading it
he fell down insensible, and shortly after
expired. 1t is said the letter contained
some poisonous substance"

The Horse from a Moral Standpoint

The driver who fights bis horses has
not got through the first lesson in the
management of that animal. Some
strike their horses in fit of anger; 9th.
ers beat them as q punishment for what
they conceive to be sinful acts on the
part of the horse. Now the fact is, the
horse never does wrong on purpose.
If he refuses to pull, it is the fauI, OF
education; and if be runs away, and
kicks things TO pieces, it is because he is
frightened. Men, when they are scared,
do some very foolish things, and they are
excused; but no allowance Is made for
the runaway horse. He is kicked and
culfed and beaten, as if what was done
was done on purpose to hurt somebody,
and not in consequence of supposed dan
ger, which the poor animal was trying to
flee from. Horses never kick without q
motive. They use their heels for de
Tense; and the first kick at the traces is
given to ward off what to them seems
danger. No horse ever kicked for any
other purpose. They cherish no i'll feel
ing against any one, and always do, so
far as they know. what is right. All
horses can be educated to do whatever
the driver wishes They obey cheerfulIy
and without grumbling, even though put
to rest on half rations in a cold, filthy,
muddy stable. A horse can easily be
taught to know the harness will not hurt
him. Then he will not kick at it and
run away. He is also easily taught to
pull by the traces, or by the halter strap.
If you want him TO pull we'll on the hal.
ter, all you have to do is to hitch him
with something he can easily break, and
! he will soon learn to pull back with such
force that no bride will hold him. If
you want him to pull we'll in the traces,
give him light load until he learns to
move it, and he will soon pull his best
at heavy loads. Horses balk or pull Just
as they are taught. 1t does not matter
which end of the horse you fasten the
weight to, they will balk as readily when
hitched by the traces, if properly trained,
as when hitcned By the halter; and they
will pull back as faithfully by the halter,
if trained to do SO, as they pull forward
when htched by the traces to wagon.
1t is an easy matter to teach horse to
refuse to pull at either the halter or the
traces, and it is equally easy to teach
him TO pull by the same means. Ii those
who drive horses would keep this fact iu
view, and keep their temper out of view,
they would never be guilty ofthe shame.

Sumner for President.

Already the Democrats talk of making
Sumner their next candidate for President.
They are very sweet on the Massachusetts
Senator since he failed in his efforts to
pocket Grant, the Cabinet, and the whole
Republican party. The austere statesman
is said to be lately very intimate with
Democratic Senators, and especially 80
with Thurman, Bayard and Casscrly-
And Washington correspondent of a
leading Democratic paper says that one
day last week when Mr.. Sumner met the
Hon. George H. Pendleton, she shook his
hand, patting that gentleman on the back,
threw his arm over Pendleton's shoulder,
and led him to seat next to Summers
ownr'
Even the Cecil Democrat has recently
been luffing and filling in the Sumner
breeze, going through pretty much the
same evolutions that it did when making up
to Andy Johnson's coat tail. These Dem
ocrats never abused Sumner any worse
than they did Andy.

been one of President Grants strongest

since the Sumner affair, been making
cause with the soreheads. 1t would look
