The Lazy Man.

A lazy man is always good-natured.
He never flies into passion. He might
crawl into one, if that were possible but
the idea of his flying into one is prepos-
ferrous. Who ever heard of lazy man
breaking into a bank where a crowbar
had to be used, or drilling into a safe ?
Not but that he might covet his neigh
boris goods contained therein, but the
horror of handling crowbar and drills
would always deter him from actually
committing burglary. He never runs
away with his neighbours wife, simply on
account of the horror he has of running.
If he is ever known to run, it is to-run
to seed. He rarely lies about his neigh
bors, for it would be too much exertion
but he lies about bar room all day. He
is of inestimable service to a billiard
saloon, keeping the chairs warm and
watching the game, for few would care
to play where there are no spectators.
The fact that he does this without pay,
day in, day out, shows the unselfshness
of his nature. The lazy man never gets
up revolutions, instructions, and Other
popular excitements, and don't make 6
nuisance of himself by training around
the country making incendiary speeches
to promote public discomfort In his
own neighborhood he is never a busybody
in other peoples affairs, for the very ide;
of being busybody at anything woult
drive him out of his head. No lazy MAI
ever ran mad. If he went crazy, it wa
because he couldn't go anywhere els'
without walking, Lazy men don't dis
turb the quiet of peaceful neighbors b.
putting up factories, furnaces, and othe
denominations. --Erchdpge.

City Scenes in Gotham.

A correspondent Of a Western paper,
writing from New York, says The street
cars are always crowded. Nearly all
start from one and the same point-the
CITY Hall-from which the different lines
radiaie in all directions. On Third ave-
nue., where a car goes every minute, the
traffic is enormous, half the time the
cars are oyercrowded. A car will carry
sixty, and seventy, and eighty people,
and still the conductor viii not refuse to
stop, AMI one more will Chamber up the
platform. About thirty will sit, fifteen
on each side, twenty or thirty will stand
in the car, and some twenty on each one
of the platforms ; and so a car will hold
hundred people. The cars go very
fast, the conductor taking scarce time TO
let the passengers out. In car which
is crowded, you will find those that sit TO
be men, and those that stand to be
women. Here there is no time for gal
lantry. The writer has been in cars in
which a dozen or fifteen ladies stood,
while probably the same number of men
had seats. But no one offered his seat
TO lady. 1t does not matter whether
the lady is old and descrepit, or has a
babe on her arm your gallant New
Yorker will calmly keep his seat and let
her stand. OF course the women, seeing
the men rude, have become polite, and
are particular in thanking them when
ever they enjoy the good fortune to be
offered a seat. 1t is Just as convenient,
in fact more so, to ogle woman in the
car while you sit and she stands and
whenever a New Yorker gets into a car,
it is such hard matter to get a seat
that he is determined to keep it, the
ladies and gaIlantry Notwithstanding.
The ladies wear now open sleeves, and IT
is an advantage to see their fair arms
while they are grasping the strap.
The New York rowdy is in his glory in
the car. He is often in company of O
young woman whom he holds tenderly
to his heart, while the other people look
on and giggle. The sovereignty of love
is here manifest it is open and uncon'
cealed. If the gentleman without a col
lar-and the New York rowdies are al
on the very worst terms with paper col
lars and bows-step slightly on The foo
OF the lady sitting beside him, it is surely
not his fault he has been brought NJ
to it. Ii he utters some jocular remark
about her appearance to the other collar

harm. He is a rowdy, you know. l
he is drunk and snores, no one will dis

Progress of Cooperative Industry.

People are slowly learning the advan-
tages of combination in industrial pro-
duction, both in profit of result and in
escaping from the worst drudgeries of
toilsome labor. Even the farmers, who
are usually the last to move in any
cooperative direction, are beginning to
see the benefits of this policy, and to
reap its advantages. The production OF
cheese in factories by neighborhood com
bination has now become an established
business, and not only turns out to be a
real economy, but in removing a labo-
rious branch Of manufacturing industry
from the household, it has proved one
of the greatest domestic boons to over
worked women in many farmers family.
This industrial improvement is not only
exteL ding in this country, but the English
farmers are beginning to copy the Ameri'
can system with satisfactory results
The report of the Derbyshire associated
diaries, shows that their first years
experiment has been fairly successful, sc
that there is every probability that the
plan of operations will not only be con
tinued but extended. The "Food Jour
mar says that the manufacturers of mill
have realized good prices for their pro
duce, while the quality of the cheese
made has decidedly improved, and wha
is a hopeful feature in the transaction
everybody seems satisfied.

The Suicidal Mania.

II is said that an ancient aw-giver once
put a stop 90 a suicidal mania among the
young women OF his country by ordering
the bodies of all who took their own lives
TO be exposed naked 10 the public view.
The dread of that which was 10 come after
death, the ignominy Of exposure and the
insults of the rabble, was relied upon to
stay the fatal hand, and is recorded TO
have justified the faith reposed in il.
To mark its reprebension of suicides, the
Athenian law cut off the hand which
dealt the blow and for centuries the old
common law of England ordained the
burial of the self-murderer in the high
way with a stake through the body. As
public opinion would not tolerate any OF
these usages now, unless, perhaps, the
exposure, half-naked, at the Morgue of
the men and women who drown them.
selves be an exception and these usages
are pretty much all that mankind has
devised 10 deter from suicide, il becomes
question whether some ignominous
punishment might not be awarded sucl
wretches as are arrested in the act oi

crrTied into execution. In England, il
such person is found under the influence
of liquor, he is put away in Jail for 4
month or so to get sober il lunatic, he
is sent to the asylum and in case he il

A Chapter on Crabs.

Nature seems to have taken into con-
sideration their warlike disposition, for
she has certainly endowed them with
the power of renewing their arms and
legs. It is also asserted that they are
almost, if not quite, insensible to pain,
for celebrated naturalist states that he
once saw crab eating another which it
had Just killed, while larger one was
picking off and eating bits of his body.
Thus crab number three was eating crab
number two, who went on feeding as If
he did not mind his big brother treating
him as he had crab number one. There
is another fact equally remarkable, and
that is, that some crabs--the spider, tor
instapce-th away their limbs with
apparently as much ease as an old soldier
could his wooden leg. When pursued
they are probably aware that their enemy
wants something to eat, and therefore
fling him leg to appease his appetite
and to save the loss of more. l once
had spider crab sent to me, and l was
very much vexed to find that he had lost
leg, and blamed the person who had
put him into basket, for having, as
thought, done it carelessly. I put hin
by himself in a glass OF fresh seawater
and next morning, on looking at him
you may guess my surprise at finding
that he had but one leg left to his body
the others being strewed about the bot
tom of the glass. l presume that ht
felt so annoyed at being captured anC
imprisoned that he threw away his leg
in fit of despair, or perhaps it was al
act of spite against me for being g tn
cause of his capture. AT all events, h
paid the just penalty of his folly, TO
after trying to hobble about on one LEI
for day or two he died. Before w
return, 1 must tell you that the shell o
the crab does not grow much larger
although his body increases in size
When he begins to find his jacket to-
tight to be comfortable, he has a natura
desire to take it off. This is not an cas-.
task to perform because he has SO man,
claws and legs, the covering OF which l
so attached to the jacket. He therefor
crawls beneath q heavy stone, whic
! holds his shell tight, and then wriggle
himself out of his shell clothing. A
soon as he has undressed himself h
becomes much bigger than he was before
and could not possibly re-enter his shell
His body is then as soft as your hand
and, therefore, well knowing that If b
: met any hard-coated crab, he would Gel
tainly be killed and eaten, he hides hin
self until his skin hardens and forms
new suit of armor to protect him fro1
his foes.-LiHle Folks.

Mount Gents Tunnel.

The total expenses of the Mount Ce-
mis- Tunnel amount to 5000, 900 francs
of these, 2O,O0O,O00 francs are to be con-
tributed by the Victor Emmanuel Rail
way, or Railway of Northern Italy.
This sum is to be paid on or before the
opening of the tunnel. The French
Government was to pay $4,000, 600 fr. it
the work was accomplished within twen-
ty years, reckoning from 1862. But il
the work was accomplished at an earlier
date France bound herself to pay 800,
600 fl. more for every year thus gained
upon the stipulated time. AS there
have been eleven years thus gained,
France will have to pay $500, 900 Fl. be-
side the 10000, 900 fir. of the original
stipulation. She has, besides, to pay
per cent. interest on the money due fol
the work as it proceeded from year tt
year. Thus Italy will pay something
less than 90, 10000 fr. Had the con
struction of the tunnel continued be
