KILLING ANIMALS WITH CHIC
RoFoRM.-Many persons would be
glad to know how to kill an animal
without suffering, and we venture
to give the benefit Of our expe-
rience. We are constantly called
upon to destroy horses, dogs and
cats, and have little difficulty in
doing it. For horses we use q
large sponge, say six inches in
diameter, thoroughly saturated
with chloroform, which is dropped
into a bag, large enough to be
drawn over the horses nose. It is
not desirable to have the bag "air-
tight, for, if so, sufocation is like
ly to ensue. In two or three min
utes the horse is unconscious, and
in eight or ten minutes dead, with
out suffering.
For dogs and cats, similar pro-
cess, using small sponge and
bag; or these animals, with satu-
rated sponge, may be put into q
box admitting some air, when they
soon ego to Sleep SeNenty-fve
cents worth of chloroform will
kill a horse, and twenty-five cents
a dog or cat. If one saturation of
the sponge does not complete the
work, repeat it.-O1r Dumb Ani-

WOMAN'S LOVE.
:, BY +. l.. X.

The bright-eyed happy little girl,
Around the household hearth,
Delighted with the toy Or curl,
Looks out u pom the earth,
And thinks of naught but golden hours
She loves the sun and rain,
The meads, the birds and fragrant flow
ers,
The waving fields of grain. ...-
Her simple heart is filled with love,
And lite's sunny dream, -
While all around, beneath, above,
Unfading pleasuressseem.
Fond to parents and dear to all,
Ojoyful warbling soul,
Thy life is sweet there is no gall,
How calm the moments roll.
Young womanhood upon her face
Has painted beauty rare;
On every feature you can trace
What love has written there.
Upon her cheek'sa modest blush
When e'er q certain name, g..
I'm jest is whispered near. But, hush,
''ris not the blush of shame.
And from the fair and thoughtful brow
And through the glistening tears,
AS she utters the sacred VOW,
Shines forth the love she bears.
For him whose life her own shall be,
With woman's devotion,
Her love so pure, so firm and free,
She'll cross the wide ocean,
Or on the speedy rattling car,
Go with he- much loved groom
TO unknown regions, distant far
From childhood's happy home.
From parental care departed, ,-...
And far from dearest friends,
Woman, true and noble hearted,
Mans steps in love attends.
She guides him through the ills of life
In paths he'd meier have trod;
And from the storm of worldly strife
She leads him to his God.

Who Is Guilty?

New York engineers and machnists in
view Of the panic, propose settling all dis
putee with employers by arbitration.
New York-Inquiry at the offices Of the
principal steamship lines shows that the for
eign export trade, at one time seriously threa-
toned by the financial panic, is in a healthy
condition and that largo shipments ayo made
by every outgoing steamer without material
alteration in rates.
New York The Times says: The ques-
ton Of general currency payments in green
backs and national bank notes is about to
solve itself. Most OF the banks are paying
all demands when preferred to the certifica-
tion OF checks, and the difference against the
checks Of other banks that from their position
decline to pay out large sums of currency, is
only Is and d per cent. Some first class banks
are not only helping their neighbors to green
backs and sending currency to their country
correspondents. hut they are paying their
debtor balances at the clearing house in green
backs in place of relief certificates. The prac-
tical condition Of the question il in favor OF
The voluntary resumption of currency pay

bic character, city or country, will deem it

Collisions at Sea.

On the first of next month, the fol-
lowing provision in the merchant ship
ping act of the United Kingdom, passed
last session of parliament, as to the du-
ties of masters of British ships in case
of collision will come into operation :
In every case of collision between
two vessels it shall be the duty of the
master or person in charge of each ves-
sci if, and so far as he can do so with
out danger to his own vessel, crew, and
passengers (if any to stay by the other
vessel until he has ascertained that she
has no further need of assistance, and
to render to the other vessel, her mas
ter, crew, and passengers Gf any such
assistance as may be practicable and rs
may be necessary in order to save them
from any danger caused by the collision
and also to give to the master or person
in charge of the other vessel the name
of his own vessel and of he port of
registry or place to which she belongs,
and also the names of the ports and
places from which and to which she is
bound. If she fail to do so, and no
reasonable cause for such failure is
shown, the collision shall, in the ab-
senco of proof to the contrary, be
deemed to have caused by his wrongful
act, neglect or default. Every master
or person in charge of British vessel
who fails, without reasonable cause, to
render such assistance or give such in
formation as aforesaid, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, if he is a
certificated officer, an inquiry into his
conduct may bo held, and his certificate
may be cancelled or suspended"

Hints to q Young Ball Goer.

Be very careful not to pull down your
shirt sleeves, or up your collar, or, in
fact, to do anything to your costume as
you enter tho ball room. IL implies
nervousness or uneasiness with yourself
to do so and your one great endeavor
in all societies, should be to thoroughly
at your ease, and satisfied, without van
ity and coxcombry, with your dress and
appearance. Do not stand idle but do
not dance overmuch. The one implies
a small number of friends, the other
wastes valuable time, and prevents your
keeping that constant lookout all around
YOU which is essential to SUCCESS. Be
introduced to movable people quietly
there is no necessity to advertise to by
standers that. you did not know them
before. Never talk much to woman
you have only Just made the acquaint-
anco of nor eagerly. She may be al-
lowed to suppose you wished to know
her, but not that her acquaintance is
any particular acquisition to you. Above
all things, my dear boy, | entreat you
not to stand in the doorways, nor herd
with other men upon tho landing. tits
simply advertising yourself failure.
Tie yourself to the veriest wall flower,
gossip with the dowdiest mother, dance
with the most disappointed Of the
maidenhood, rather than. sink to this.
Sitting in the corners comprises very
large subject, or, rather, array of sub
jects. 10 know how to sit in the cor
ners we'll and prlldently, requires vast
experience and a steady head so, until
you have much extended your acquaint-
ance and your knowledge of humanity,
would recommend you to avoid that
most agreeable of the pleasures of ball
going. II is not for novice at once to
penetrate to the inner depth of fashions
mysteries, and | shall, therefore, put off
my advice on this subject until come,
in future letter, to the great subject
of flirting, which, of course, comprises
the art Of sitting in corners. London
