How Do They Find the Way!

Two WEEKS ago an account was given
of a dog that had been carried seven hun
dred miles somewhere at the West, but
not liking the place, alone, guided by
faculty quite unknown to man, he footed
his way to his old loved home without
making inquiries, consulting a guide
board, or travelling out of the way, at
the rate of nearly a hundred miles each
day.
An old horse purchased of farmer in
Vermont many years since, was shipped
at Seabrook, Conn, with others, to the
West Indies, for grinding cane A storm
occurring in Long Island Sound, the deck
horses were washed overheard and sup
posed to have been lost The old Vermont
er, however, reached land in ,he darkness
of stormy night, and finally was found
standing at the barn-door of his old home.
The horse had never been far from
the town till sold, therefore could
not have been familiar with the way.
Carrier pigeons perform feats as swift
messengers through the air, because they
are in hurry to reach home. However
| far they may be carried confined in
baskets, they invariably speed their way
| without ever resting on the voyage till
| they reach the place dear to their affec-
| tons. In 1919, with view to ascertain
| their speed, a pigeon was carried from
Antwerp to London, and there liberated
| The bird was at its cote, having flown
one hundred and eighty miles, in
straight line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way as I'M
| erringly as the carrier pigeon does; but
how they do it is beyond our ken. Some
imagine birds see telescopically one or
two hundred miles when high in the air,
and over the tops of mountains But
the theory throws no light upon the
movements of mule that found his home
in Brazil, hundreds of miles over a region
where man could hardly move, having
neither path to follow nor a companion
to lead the way. Science, therefore, has
something more to do to clear up this
mystery
A writer in the Quarterly Reuieao ad-
vances the theory that 'they have
certain sense of the magnetic currents,
sufticing to afford them a sort Of internal
mariners compass marking the direction
in which they travel We know that the
magnetic currents affect the needle, and
the hypothesis that they may also affect
living frames with special organizations
seems in no way incredible; while the
fact that dog, who can find his own
way for hundred miles in the open
country, may lose it in five hundred
yards in a town, seems to point to the
multitude Of streets turning at right
angles as the cause of confusion TO
sense which simply indicates stra ght
direction."--N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

Danbury's Boy.

WHEN boy can carry every thing at
one load he will not go twice after it.
This was the case with boy who was
working his way through Elm street
the other day, with twenty bean poles
on his shoulder. Now one bean pole is
about all an ordinary mortal can carry.
and nobody but a boy would attempt to
carry twenty Of them. He had tied them
together at the middle, leaving the ends
loose, and had thought on starting, with
out doubt, that he was a boy of remark
able promise Bean poles are naturally
uneasy When they can't move one way
they will another; but they will move and
IN spite of all precautions. These did.
He had them on his shoulder at first, but
some of them got to dropping down be-
hind, and striking against people, and
others fell down in front, and stuck into
the sidewalk and made him stumble.
Then again some of them lay horizon
tally. Not but they preferred to drop as
the others, did, but lying horizontally
while the others were in opposite posi-
tons gave a pleasing variety to the per-
Torrance. When the boy stopped as he
was frequently obliged to do, some one in
the rear would step on the poles or in
among them, and swear at him. Finally,
he turned round to see what the matter
was, and knocked out the face of a clock
{ man was carrying in his arms. This so
excited him that he dropped the poles
entirely The owner of the clock cuffed
him over the head, and then took down
his fathers name and swore he would
have damages. The unfortunate youth
then took the awful things up in his arms,
but they wouldn't lie still. They kept
together at the middle, but were demora-
lied at the ends and whirled about so
rapidly as to scare him. He looked like
a windmill, and presented such an awful
spectacle that people precipitately took
to the street, and several horses attempted
to climb up into their wagons. He had
to drop his load again or be shot down
in his tracks by the infatuated drivers.
Finally he made two bundles of them,
and took one under each arm Some of
the ends commenced to tangle with the
opposites, and get in front of his eyes and
shut out his vision. Others dropped
down in front and behind, and one of
those which went down in front caught
so firmly in the walk as to completely
upset the unhappy youth, and he came
down on his back-having turned q
complete summersault-with poles under
him, and over him, and on all sides of
him, while just back of where he went
down stood a woman picking the wrecks
of a bonnet out of her hair, and looking
in the pile, for the largest pole was mid
dle-aged man with a cut nose and a rup-
tured shirt. The boy jumped up and fled.

tho organ falls into d relaxed condition,
from which only increased doses can tenn
porarily rescue it. One of the results
upon the brain is the loss of memory.
Many authors have noticed this fact. The
case of Fable Moigno, the celebrated ed
itor of Les Nondes, is curious. He had
often been in the habit Of taking snuff,
which had always led to prejudicial re-
suits. After various temporary reuuncia-
tions, he had returned to its use In 1861.
whilst engaged in some mathematical
labors, he took twenty to twenty five
grammes daily, and found himself con-
tinually having resource to the snuff
box. The effect was a rapid extinc-
ton of the faculty of memory He
had learned several languages by their
root words, of which he knew from
200 to 1900 of each tongue, but he found
that his power of recalling the words was
gradually diminishing, and recourse to
the dictionary became each day more
necessary. Struck with this fact, he re-
solved to abandon the tobatiere and cigar.
Writing, after six years experience as a
non-smoker, he says: cit has been for us
the commencement of a veritable resur-
rection of health, mind, and memory; our
ideas have become more lucid, our imagi
nation more vivid, our work easier, our
pen quicker, and we have seen gradually
return that army Of words which had run
away. Our memory, in a word, has re-
covered all its riches, all its sensibility"-

Love is Enough.
Lancet.

THE New York EUening Post is respon-
sible for the following pretty story:
1t is profitable sometimes to be senti-
mental. Let us to-day remember that it
is spring time, however gloomy the
weather may be, and recount simple
love story
Last summer a German boy and girl,
Henry and Susie, living in Minnesota, fell
IN love with one another Her family.
at first Indifferent, early in the winter put
themselves in opposition to the mach.
But this Romeo was no drawing-room
lover. Desperately in earnest himself.
and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet,
he bravely went to work to make a home
for her He already owned a quarter-sec-
ton of land. Taking his AK he went to
his estate and there cut down trees and
hewed out logs enough to make a cabin,
which he put up without help and fur
nished in rude but comfortable fashion.
This done he asked Susie to come and be
his wife. She consented Unfortunately,
the young man had not vet set up his
carriage, and, since it was unbecoming for
bride to go on foot, ahand-sled; drawn
by the bridegroom, was pressed into
the service of the pair.
Thus they went forth in secresv to theg
new home in the woodland, she ridinir
trinity on the sled, he Juggling bravely at
the strap. 1t was eight miles to the little
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding was to take place, a
| clergyman having promised to be in
waiting to make them man and wife
Unfortunately the clergyman was not
there and Susie was frightened and
ashamed. She wanted to 90 home. But
| Henry, grieved at her distrust and vet
secretly pleased with her modesty, pro
posed that until a clergyman could be
found the cabin should be divided by a
partition wall into two cabins, of which
one should belong to her and one to him
To this she agreed, and the young man
went eleven miles through the snow after
the boards for the wall, dragging them
home on the sled which had Just carried 6
more lovely burden.
When the parents found their runaway
Gretchen it was under these circumstan
ces-she was keeping house by herself
he living like a bachelor, and bearing
himself in every way with a chivalrou
courtesy worthy of Henry Esmond him
self The father and mother, notwith
standing their grief and anger, were
touched by the unconventional honor anC
purity of the young people, and ther
wisely concluding that the match was
made III heaven, gave their heartiest as
| sent 70 it.

Finding a BOOtiack.

A HOUSEKEEPER writes the following
plant to the Cleveland Leader:
When the average husband of the period
wants to find a bootjack he steps to the
buttery door, and leaning against the
doorway with his hands in his pockets,
whistles meditatively as his eyes wander
along the upper shelves. When break
IN the tune occurs, you may know he has
found the cake, which he devours absently,
still looking for the booUack. Being now
deprived of that aid to reflection-whist-
ling, he executes waltz in slow move
ment, sustained by large piece of cake
in one hand, stable pickle in the other.
After while, as the bootjack does not
make its appearance the husband does, at
the door Of the room, where you are get
ting the baby to sleep, and shouts Jane"
at the top of his voice, under the impress
sion that you are up stairs, an impression
speedily removed. To cover the cOnfu-
sion of his retreat, he steps on the dogs
tail and bumps the bird-cage with his
head, then wants to know what you have
done with that bootjack, and why it is
that GU never keep things in their place.
If you are wise, and simply and calmly
point, like Columbia, to the object in ques-
ton hanging on its accustomed nail, he
seizes upon it wrathfully, with the solemn
vow that it was not there when he went
| through the room before.
The offending boots are finally left IN
the doorway where tits convenient to trip
over them, and serenity transpires,. unless
you have occasion to go around them,
| when you will at once see their value as
natural means of obstructlng passage
way. It is estimated that one PAIR OF
boots iudiciously disposed about an apart
ment of medium size, will prevent either
well-disposed person or professional
burglar from quietly making his way
about it.
At tea time the average husband does
not care about any cake; it isn't much
like that his mother used to make.
