Mr.. Howard Paul and party gave an
entertainment, the past weel-, at Schwal-
bach, Germany, when the following Incl
dent occurred AS the doors were about
opening, it was discovered that the tick
cts had been forgotten,and neither checks
nor counters of any description could be
procured at such short notice. Mr. How
ard Paul was equal to the occasion. He
sent to his hotel, borrowed several packs
of playing cards and arranged that all
the suits were to be admitted 20 the re-
served seats, and all the blacks to the
area. The medley of Parisians, Germans,
Americans, and French, who constitute
the audience at these Continental spas,
seemed bewildered on receiving hearts
and clubs in exchange for their thalers
and it was found necessary to engage one

IF YOU PLEASE.

Young men, do you ever think
how much real courtesy will do for
you p Some of the, greatest men
were ever cautious in this respect.
When the Duke of Wellington was
sick, the last he took was alittle tea.
On his servant handing it to him in
a saucer. and asking if he would
have it, the Duke replied, Eyes, if
you please" These were his last
words. How much kindness and
courtesy are expressed by them |!
He who had commanded great ar
mics, and was long accustomed to
the tone of authority, did not over
look the courtesies Of life. All, how
many boys do! What rude tone
of command they often use to their
brothers and sisters, and sometimes
to their mothers! They order so.
That is iIl-bred, and shows, to say
the least, want of thought. In all
your home talk remember eff you
please TO all who wait upon or
serve you, believe that eff you
please'' will make you better served
than all the cross or ordering words
in the whole dictionary. Do moi
forget three little words-'If you
Dlease.''

The problem of teegraphing in the Chinese Ian
guage, to write which requires some $4,000 differ
ent characters, has been solved ip this way ga
few thousand of the characters most used are cut
upon wooden. On the opposite ide of each block
is its number. Duplicates of such numbered
blocks are at each telegraph tation. The China
merchant selects the block which expresses the
thoughts to be transmitted. The operator tele-
graphs only the numerals designating these
blocks, which enables the receiving operator to
select similar blocks at his end of the line"

CURIOUS MOVEMENTS OF
ANIMALS WITHOUT GER
EBRAL LOBES.

Since the celebrated experiments
of Flourens, says the Journal OF
Psychological Medicine, it has been
known, in an indisputable manner,
that all the acts of vegetative life are
entirely independent Of the cerebral
lobes, and, that an animal deprived
of its brain continues to live as we'll
as formerly. with this difference
alone, that it loses all will and all
instinct.
With the superior animals, as
with the inferior ones, the removal
of the cerebral lobes, does not cause
any of the movements which existed
before to disappear. Only, these
movements take certain particular
characters. In the first place, they
have more regularity, they have the
true normal type, for no psychical
influence modifes them; the locomo-
tive apparatus is put in motion with
out restraint, and it can almost be
said that the entire series of move
ments is more normal than in the
normal state.
In the second place. the move
ments which are performed immedi-
ately follow certain excitations they
could not be otherwise. The frog
put into the water must swim, and
the pigeon thrown in the air must
fly. The Psychologist can then de-
termine, at his will, such and such
an act in an animal deprived Of It's
brain, restrain it or stop it; he can
foresee the movements, and affirm be-
forehand that they will take place
in certain conditions, absolutely, as
a chemist knows in advance the re-
actions which he will obtain in mix
ing certain bodies.
Another particularly of the move
ments which ensue when the cere-
bral lobes are taken away, is their
continuation after a first impression.
On the ground, frog without a
brain being irritated, makes general
ly two or three leaps or more; it is
rarelysit makes but one. Placed in
water, it continues the motion of
swimming until it meets with an OBJ
stacle it is the same with the carp,
the eel, etc. The pigeon continues to
fly, the duck and goose to swim. They
may be compared to spring which
requires an impulse in order that it
may act, and which stops at the
slightest resistance. But what is re-
markable, is the continuation of a
state thus determined, and one can
not help bringing together the facts
which are observed in animals de-
prived of their cerebral lobes with
those which constitute one of the
characteristic properties Of inorganic
matter. Put in motion, the animal
without brain maintains this move
ment till the exhaustion of the condi-
tons of motion, or until he meets
with some resistance. Put IN re-
pose, he remains in a condition of
inertness until some exterior cause
forces him out Of it. This is the
living inert matter.

There is dew in one flower and
not in another, because one opens it's
cup and takes it, while the other
closes itself and the drop runs off.
So God rains goodness and mer-
cy as wide as the dew, and if we
lack them it is because we will not
open our hearts to receive them.

The British Government has adopted
the plan of treating telegraph poles with
solution of sulphatc of copper, for their
preservation. The solution is forced in
to the fibre of the timber, by mechanical
appliance,and it becomes a part and par
eel Of the substance Of the poles, while
the natural saps are expelled. It is found
that timber thus treated will resist the
action of the atmosphere five times as
long as the natural wood.

ANECDOTE OF HANDEL.

Handel was one of the most umorous
of mortals, and at the same time one Of
the most irritable. His best jokes were
perpetrated frequently during his most
violent bursts of passion.
Having occasion to bring out one of
his oratorios in q provincial town of Eng
land, he began to lsok about for such
material to complete his orchestra and
chorus as the place might afford. One
and another was recommended, as usual
as being splendid singer, great play
er, andeso on. After while, such as
were collectable were gathered together
in room, and, after preliminaries, Han
del made his appearance putting, both
arms full of manuscript. "Gentlemen"
quoth he "you oil read manuscript ?"
eyes, yes responded from all parts Of
the room. 1--WE play in church," added
an old man, behind violincellO. "Ver y
we'll, play dis" said Handel, distributing
the parts.
This done and few explanation deliv-
cred, Handel retired to distant part of
the room to enjoy the effect. The stumb-
ling, fumbling and laundering that en-
Isued is said to be indescribable. Han
dePs sensitive ear and impeteus spirit
could not brook the insult, and clapping
his hands to his ears he ran to the old
gentleman Of the. violoncello, and shak-
ing his fist furiously at the terrified man
and tho instrument, said: "You play in
de church very well-you may play in
the church-for we read, de Lord is long
suffering, of loving kindness, forgiving
iniquity, transgresslon and sin; you
shall play in the church, but you shall
not play for me p and snatching together
his manuscript he rushed out Of the room
leaving his astonished performers to draw
their own conclusion.

We sometimes meet with men who
think that any indulgence in an af-
fectionate feeling is weakness. They
will return s from q journey, and
greet their families with distant
dignity, and move among their chill
dren with the cold and lofty splen-
dor of an iceberg surrounded by its
broken fragments. There is hardly
a more unnatural sight on earth than
one of these families without a heart.
A father had better extinguish a
boys eyes than take away his heart.
Who that has experienced the lows
Of friendship, and values sympathy
and affection, would not rather lose
all that is beautiful in natures see
merry than be robbed Of the hidden
treasures of his heart, Cherish
then, your hearts best affections
Indulge in the warm and gushin,
emotions Of flial, paternal and fra
terna1 love.-Miss. MuzocA.

Ing who was there ana what was wanted, he was
told, "An Officer;" and that two ruffans were with
out whom the officer wanted Shelley TO assist In drv

by heavy blow On the right eve and before he
could recover From tho effect, the three ri1, one

stairs leaving the apparent officer In charge Of him,
and opening u case OF goods took twelve pieces OF

the gag between his teeth, and managed to
work 1t cut OF his lips and give the
alarm an hour after they had entered the building;
while at the same time he AYERS they were at least

Twenty-frs precinct, states that he saw q milk

three O'Clock In the morning, and two men enter
that house with mix can, and when lie addressed
them they replied that their route being long one,
they must make an early start. After making
