HAIRY FAMILY.-The hairy family
of Mandalay consists Of woman about
forty five years Of age, man of twenty
and girl of eleven, with hair over every
part Of their faces, forehead, nose and
chin, varying in length from two inches
to foot, and exactly the color and text
ure of that on Skye terrier. The hair
of their heads, on the contrary, is just
the same as on any ordinary Burman ;
they appear to be quite as intelligent as
ordinary Burmans. The father Of
the woman was the fist of hairy prog.
eny. He married an ordinary Burman
woman, and the issue Of the union was
the present hairy head of the family
He married an ordinary Burman, and
his issue, son about twenty-three years
of age, not hairy, and the boy and cir
alluded to. The Burman explanation o.
the phenomenon is, to say the least, curl
GUS, and might possibly possess special
interest for Mr.. Darwin. These hairy
people would be worth fortune to the
enterprising Barnum, if he could ge
hold Of them, but the King will not al
low them to go out of his dominions.

PATAGoNIAN INFANTs.-Their super

all phenomenal children, principally such
as are born with larger number of fin

to their belief, such child is presage
of great happiness for their family. As
to those that are altogether deformed,-
such cases are very rare,-or whose con-
stitution does not appear to fit them for
the kind of life they would have to lead

LEARN ALL You oAN.--Never omit an
opportunity to learn all you can. Sir
Walter Scott said that even in stage
coach he always found somebody who
could tell him something that he did not
know. Conversation is frequently more
useful than books for purposes of knowl-
edge. Is is, therefore, mistake to be
morose and silent among persons whom
you think ignorant, for little sociability
on your part will draw them out, and they
will be able to teach you something, no
matter how ordinary your employment
Indeed, some of the most sagacious re-
marks are made by persons ofthis descrip-
ton, respecting their particular pursuit,
Hugh Miller, the Scotch geologist, owes
not little of his fame to observations
made when he was a journeyman stone
mason, and working in a quarry. Socrates
we'll said that there was but one good,
which is knowledge, and one evil, which
is ignorance. Every grain of sand goes
to make heap. A gold-digger takes the
smallest nuggets, and is not fool enough
to throw them away, because he hopes tc
find huge lump some time. So in &C
curing knowledge, we should never de-
spise an opportunity, however unpromis
ing. If there is moments leisure, spend
it over a good or instructive talking witt
the first one you meet.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MULCHING.-A
sagacious fruit grower, near Brunswick,
N. j., mulches his place heavily, and
never removes from one years end to the
other. His soil is always cool and mel
low, and his trees and vines never suffer
from heat; his fruit is large, fair and de-
lious, and his produce is extraordinary
in quantity. For all newly planted trees
in the spring of the year, mulching is
the only safe guarantee of their success
without mulching many will fail; with
it, not one should be lost. The practice
is also saving of labor, and if the mulch
is applied two or three inches deep il
will keep down the weeds. Mulchins
can also be used to retard the ripenins
of fruit from three to ten days. Upol
light, sandy soil, currants cannot b
grown without it. Pears dropping from
the trees are safe from bruises. Iona
toes we'll mulched will double their pre-
duce. We scarcely know of single OF
| lection to mulching, and in our exper
ence it has proved to be one of the mos
economical and efficient aids to fruit Gu
ture ever brought to the notice of th
public.-The Horticelt,Tist

BRAN FOR PoULTRY.-A correspond

that the best way to make hens lay is a

mode of preparing the food is to mix
about five parts of bran with one of mid
dlings. In the morning." he says al
