BOning Extraordinary.

SIDNEY SMITH, who grimly told about
taking off his flesh and sitting in his
bones" one very hot day, may have seen
some account of the following specimen
of expert carving:
Hue, who made extended explorations
of a part of the habitable globe scarcely
known save by its name, between Tartary
and China, gives many extraordinary ac
counts of customs and manners peculiar
to the people, which strangely contrast
with our civilization.
On one occasion he came upon a Mon
gol encampment. Being kindly received
he purchased sheep of native A Mon
gOl butcher slaughtered the animal with
such surprising dispatch as to astonish
the good Catholic Father. But the climax
was when, with long knife, the butcher
drew out the entire skeleton from the flesh
without fracturing or doing violence to a
single bone.
They are so expert in that particular art
which amounts almost to a science, know
ing as they do each bone, its name and ex-
act positlon-the frame of an OK or any
other animal is treated in the same man.
ner with unerring facility.
AS Turks use neither knives nor forks,
they have the skill to jerk out the bones
of a fowl when placed upon the table,
with similar adroitness, leaving the body
in its original form. Their knowledge of
anatomy however falls immeasurably be-
low that of the Mongols, who practice
dissections on worthless carcasses for the
purpose of ascertaining how they are

How Bill Of Fare Puzzled the
Indians.

The st. Louis Democrat says;-At din
ner Whitewash-in-his Eye called to him
a waiter, who said "Ughp' as delicate
compliment, and handed him bill of
fare. The chieftain pointed to the first
item, and said "Ughl" The waiter said
"Ughi" and returned with cup of coffee.
Now, even though cup of coffee is a
good thing, it is hardly meal for man.
So the brave said ''Ughr' again and
pointed to the second item. The waiter
said "Ughr retired and returned with a
cup of green tea. A third interchange of
"Ughs!" resulted in cup of black tea,
and fourth in cup of mixed tea. In
despair the brave uttered an angry "Ugh"
that made waiter turn pale, and pointed
to the last item on the bill of fare, evil
IDENTIFY being anxious to get as far from
the teas as possible. The waiter faltered
"Ugh" and hurried back with a tumbler
of iced tea.
The others, warned by the example and
fate of their comrade, attacked the bill
of fare IN medias res. One struck "pay
eat" under the head of ''broiled," :" and had
an abundance if not varied meal of NUT
ton chops, veal outlets, broiled chicken,
pork chops, sirloin steak, porter-house
steak, Boston steak, etc. Combining their
information, the remaining members of
the party wandered over the bill of fare,
taking every division by starts, and none
of them long. The result was eminently
satisfactory to the aboriginal stomach,
which is capacious and has no prejudices
as to the succession and relative proper
tions of soup, fish, game, entrees, boiled,
roast, game and dessert. One erratic
brave owed his own matutinal disten-
sion to ajudicious compound of: 1, cof-
fee; Q. cantelope; 3, ice cream; 4, Irish
stew; 5, steak; 6, Worcester sauce; z,
mustard; s, melon; 8, fried potatoes; 10,
mackerel, II, Graham bread; II, iced tea;
13, fried eggs; IA, sliced tomatoes; and
Is, butt cred toast, and his bosom was
rent with emotion when he found that
the waiter shook his head when the line,

Patience with Little Ones.

BE patient with little ones. Let neither
their slow understanding nor their occa-
sional pertness offend you, or provoke the
sharp reproof. Remember, the world is
new to them, and they have no slight task
to grasp, with their unripened intellects,
the mass of facts and truths that crowd
upon their attention. You are grown to
maturity and strength, through years of
experience, and it i'll becomes you to
fret at the little child that fails to keep
pace with your thought. Teach him pa
tiently as God teaches you, slime upon
line, precept upon precept; here little,
there little" Cheer him on in this con-
flict with mind; in after years his ripe,
rich thought shall rise up and call you
blessed. Bide patiently the endless ques-
tiOning of your children. Do not rough
ly crush the springing spirit of free in
quiry with an impatient word or frown,
nor attempt, on the contrary, long and
instructive reply to every slight and
casual question. Seek, rather, to deepen
their curiosity, convert, if possible, the
careless question into profound and
earnest inquiry. Let your reply send
the little questioner forth, not so
much proud of what he has learned, as
anxious to know more. Happy you, if in
giving your child the fragment of truth
he asks for, you can whet his curiosity
with glimpse of the mountain of truth
lying beyond; so you will send forth
philosopher, and not silly pedant, into
the world. Bear patiently the childish
humors of the little ones. They are but
the untutored pleadings of the young
spirit for care and cultivation. Irritated
into strength and hardened into habits,
they will hunt the whole of life like fiends
in despair, and make your little ones
curse the day they were born; but correct
ed kindly and patiently, they become the
elements of happiness and usefulness.
Passions are but fires that either scorch
us with their uncontrolled fury, or may
yield us genial and needful warmth.
Bless your little ones with patient care
of their childhood, and they will certainly
consecrate the glory and grace of their
manhood to your service. Sow in their
hearts the seed of perennial blessedness;
its ripened fruit will afford you perpet-
ual joy.-Mother's Friend.

OUR LITTLE WOMEN AND MEN.

Sitting on rustic benches,
Coming their lessons o'er;
Some so short their bare brown feet
Can scarcely reach the floor.
Busy with book and pencil,
Busy with slate and pen,
These are they who'll rule the State
Our little women and men.
Under the shady naples
They are busy As bees,
All the noontime keeping house,
Keeping house under the trees;
Then again at their lessons,
Puzziing o'er two times ten,
Yes, these are our future rulers
Our little women and men.
Little worn frocks and aprons,
And hats with half rim.
Little eager, sunbrowned faces,
With dImple in cheek and chin;
Saucy and full of mischief,
Scolded again and again,
Never they mind the seedlings
Our little women and men.
All the great OF the nation
Were little once like these,
Now some of them rule the land,
And some of them rule the seas;
They'll win who toll the hardest,
With sword, or book, or pen;
There waits q golden harvest
For our little women and men.

Two MEN in French village claimed
the same calf, and brought their case be-
fore Justice of the Peace, who was
puzzled by their counter statements, each
insisting that not only the animal but its
mother, also, was his property. AT
length the Judge bethought him of Solo
mons example, and ordered both cows
into court. No sooner was this done than
one rushed believing toward the calf and
the calf toward her, while the other cow
stood looking upon this little family
scene with the most stolid indifference.
The decision was rendered without fur

How 10 go West"

West has come to mean Iowa. Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado. California and the
Territories, and the traveller reaches al.
most any point therein by a splendid
Line Of Railroad.
This Line Of Railroad is the Burliug.
ton Route, which starts from Chicago by
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road, aud, running through Burlington,
reaches Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City,
St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavcnworh and
Kansas City, connecting with the Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific and other rail-
roads running from those cities.
People going to Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, California, or any point in the Terri
tories, will study their own interests by
going by way Of Burlington" for the
rates of that Line are always as low as
any other, aud it is the best Route in the
West, therefore you are more sure of our
safety and comfort.
