a funny story WAS fold at n In

A funny story was told at q late
meeting of the Polytechnic Branch of
the American Institute, which is re-
ported in the Engineering and HIN
iuy Journal. A new man was sent
to a lighthouse, and his first exper-
ience was to get frightened at his
own reflection in the plate glass.
Next, as he was cleaning the lantern
toward sunset, the level rays OF the
sun were accidentally focused on the
wick by one of the lenses, and the
astonished tyro beheld the lamp
marvelously lighted by an unseen
keeper. The next morning he ex-
tinguished the light,which soon after
calmly famed up again from the same
cause; and the man, taking to his
boat. abandoned the lighthouse ser
vice forever. This shows that even
the comparatively simple mechanism
now employed may be above the
comprehension of the men we have
to employ, and it is not to be wond-
cred at if the oil-lamp remains.for a
long time to come the basis of our
and other lighting systems.

Destruction OF a Great Suburb of
COn6tantinople.

Destruction OF a Great Suburb of
Constantinople.
A brief cable dispatch from Lon
don, on Saturday, announced that a
terrible confagration was then rag
ing in the city of Constantinople,
Turkey. One thousand houses in
the poorer quarter and in the suburb
of Scutari had already been de-
stroyed when the telegram was for
warded. No Indication was given
that the fire was under control, and
further details were anxiously
awaited. Referring to this meager
telegram, the New York World of
Sunday notices the fact that the su-
burb Of Scutari is on the opposite
side of the Bosophorus, in Asia, and
if great fire in it had not been tor
tured into "terrible conhagration
in Constantinople," then two fires
were raging at the same time-on in
the capital of the Turkish Empire
and the other in the city on the op-
posite shore. Suctar is opposite
Seraglio Point, on which the harem
is located, and the poorer part of
Constantinople may be considered
at some distance from it.
Scutari, the suburb in which part
if not the whole of the confagration
of which the cable informs us has
taken place, is the ancient Crysoplis.
1t is rather city than a suburb. 1t
is about mile square in extent, and
is the pricipal commercial emporium
of the Levant. A great trade in
Leather, silk, cotton goods and 9th
er articles of commerce is carried on
in it's warehouses and bazaars. II
contains Turkish postoffie, an i'm
perial palace, and the barracks of the
Imperial Guard. In relation to Con-
stantinople, Scutari is situated much
as Brooklyn is to New York, though
the relative population is different
1t has about sixty thousand inhab-
itants, and though fires have not been
so numerous or extensive there as
in the capital, they are not unknown,
owing to the slight materials used in
building. Ifthe fire spreads, should
reach the poorer quarters and ad-
vance into the portions devoted to
mercantile operations, the loss will
be immense.

The Liliea Of the Field.

The flower spoken Of in the Bible
as the lily is supposed to be the
same as the single Narcissus. 1t
springs up in January and February
alone the damp borders Of the
streams, in shady places, near over
hanging rocks. 1t is said that in an
cient times this flower grew in such
profusion on the plains of Sharon,
east of Joppy, that it was customary
to use the dried stalks of the plants
so heat the ovens wherein bread was
baked. Though not now plentiful
enough for that use, the flowers are
still very abundant, and IN their sea
son their yellow and white blossoms
make the plains near Jericho look as
if covered with silver and gold.-Our

Clerical Drinking in Scotland.

This wonderful vegetable
restorative is the sheet-an-
chOr of the feeble and de-
.bilitated. AS a tonic and
cordial for the aged and Ian
guild it has no equal among
stomachics. As a remedy for
the nervous weakness to
which women are especially
subject, it is superceding ev-
cry other stimulant. In all
climates, tropical, temperate
or frigid, it acts as a specific
in every species of disorder

Hooked up, and he looked down,
Handsome sunburnt Johnny Brown.
"Have liftP" said he to me,
While his eyes danced merrily.
"Yes, I thank you sirl" said 1,
Nowise bashful in reply.
Side by side we rode away,
Sitting in the fragrant hay.
Johnny said "Ifs pleasant weather."
Then we blushed and laughed together.
Johny whispered then; said he,
"Will you ride again with me?"
What 1 said I shall not tell,
But Johnny liked my answer well.

Care of Horses.

The London Horse Book says All
horses must not be fed in the same
proportion. without regard to taeir
ares, their constitutions and their
work; because the improperly OF
such a practice is self evident. Yet
it is constantly done, and is the basis
Of disease OF every kind
Never use bad hay on account W
its chearncss, because there Is no
proper nourishment III 1t.
Damaged corn is exceedingly in
iurious, because it brings on infiam-
alton of the bowels and skin DIS
eases.
Chaf is better for old horses than
hay, because they can chew and di-
gest it better.
Mix chatf with corn or beans, and
do not give the latter alone. because
it makes the horse chew his food
more and digest i, better.
Hay or grass alone will not sup
port a horse under hard work, be
cause there is not sufficient nutritlvc
body in either.
When a horse is worked hard its
food should chiefly be oats; if not
worked bard its food should chiefly
be hay; because oats supply more
nourishment and flesh-maklng mate
rial than any other kind OF food; hay
not go much.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The bet
ter plan is to feed with chopped hay
from a manager, because the food is
more easily chewed and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that
has salt dissolved in it, because 1t is
pleasing to the ANIMALS taste, and
more easily disested. A teaspoon
iul of salt in bucket OF water is
sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, hut not for young one, be
cause the former, through age and
detective teeth, cannot chew them
properly; the young horse can do so
and they are thus properly mixeo
with the saliva, and turned into
wholesome nutrimen,.
