PR.sCTIC.sL TRST.

Danbury man named Reubens recent
ly saw a statement that counting one hum
dred when tempted to speak an angry
word would save a man a great deal OF
trouble. This statement sounded little
singular at first, but the more he read it
over the more favorably he became i'm
pressed with it, and finally concluded 10
adopt it. Next door TO Reubens lives a
man who has made five distinct attempts
in the past fortnight to secure dinner of
green peas by the lst of July, and every
time has been retarded by Reubens' hens.
The next morning after Reubens made
his resolution this man found his fifth at
tempt to have miscarried. Then he called
on Reubens. He said
"Wbat in thunder do you mean by let
ting your hens tear up my garden ?"
Reubens was prompted TO call him q
mud snoot, a new name just coming in
general use, but he remembered his reso-
luton, put down his rage, and meekly OBJ
served:
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
eight"
Then the mad neighbor, who had been
cJclHS thiS hSai VI suo-
picion, broke in again:
"Why don't you answer my question,
you rascalf"
But still Reubens maintained his equa-
nimity, aud went on with the test.
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, four
teen, fifteen, sixteen"
The mad neighbor stared harder than
ever.
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
twenty-one-"
"You are mean skunk" said the mad
neighbor, backing toward the fence.
Reubens' face flushed at this charge, but
still he only said:
"Twenty-two, twenty three, twentyfour,
twenty-five, twenty-six-"
At this figure the neighbor got up on the
| fence in some haste but suddenly think
| ing of his peas, he opened his mouth:
"You mean, low lived rascal, for two
cents could knock your cracked head
| over barn, and would"
"Twenty-seven, twenty-eight," inter-
rupted Reubens, "twenty-nine, thirty, thir-
| ty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three-"
| Here the neighbor broke for the house,
and entering 1t violently slammed the door
behind him but Reubens did not dare let
| up on the enumeration, and SO he stood
out there alone in his own yard, and kept
on counting, while his burning cheeks and
flashing eyes eloquently affirmed his judg-
ment. When he got up into the eighties
his wife came 10 the door In some alarm.
"Why, Reuben, man, what is the matter

| But he didn't let up. She came out to
him and chung trembling to him, but he
only looked into her eyes. and said;

How FAR DO RooTs TRAvEL?-Ifthe soil
is deep and moist, roots penetrate it much
deeper than is generally supposed. They
seem to be wonderfully attracted TO moist
places, bat not to cold or stagnant water.
1t is stated that in Welbec, in England, the
roots OF horse-radish plants were found at
the depth OF seven feet in the ground! A
Thoresby Park drain IA feet deep was en-
tirely stopped by the roots of II coarse grass.
Prof. Johnson found roots of the wheat
plant extending to the depth of four or Ave
feet, and those of somelcommon field g. ass-
es nearly as far. An observing neghbor Il
ours traced the roots of rel clover to the
depth OF six feet, ON the side of railroad
cut, in spot where the earth was moist
and lightly. H. Farmer.

LANGUAGE AMONG ANrMALs.-M. lie

LANGUAGE AMONG ANIMALs.-M. Hou-
zeau maintains that not only does each
group of animals possess a language which
is understood by other members of tho
same group, but they can learn to under
stand the language Of other groups. His
dogs, for instance, perfectly understood his
poultry. Cocks and hens have one danger
signal for the approach of bird of prey,
another for that of terrestrial animal or
for man. When the latter was sounded
the dogs would rush out and bark, while
to the former they paid no attention what
ever. lie therefore concludes that fowls
have the power of expressing slightly diff
ferent but closely allied ideas, and dogs can
learn TO undersland these Differences.

a BIG BUG.-The largest specimen OF the
i2uana, or tree lizard of South America,
that has ever been seen in this country,
has recently leen received at the army
medical mus cum at Washington. 1t was

air, and arrived safely and in seeming good
condition after his long voyage, though he
seems disinclined to he good nutured over

head has large, round protuberance like
a swelling, while on each $ ide of the head,
near its base. appears similar immense
balls. The eye il prominent, very bright,
and is of n bright hazel or yellowish color,
leaving the pupil brown. The fore feet, or
hands. have the fingers formed very much
like the human hand, while the thumb or
toe, corresponding to the human thumb, is
quite short and is large and round. The
JOINTS are protected and covered by a for
nation resembling armor, and the body
and tail seem at first glance TO be free from
scales, though closer examination shows
the scales to be small and smooth. The
reptile has no; yet been identified as be-
longing 10 any species heretofore known,
as IL does not appear in Cuvier. 1t is the in
tention OF DIR. Woodward TO kill it and pre-
pare the SIX eleton for mounting but it has
been suggested that cast be taken before
killing for exhibition in the collection of
the Smithsonian institute.

THE RELIGION OF THE BoDY.-Before
the child learns that verbs agree with NOM
natives, II should he taught that cleanli-
ness, temperance, sweet temper, simple
food, agree with health. Before II has
learned one column of the multiplication
table, II should know the sum of its phys
ical powers. It's chemistry should begin
In the knowledge of the elements that sus-
tain the exquisite body at its highest pos
sibiities. Its mechanics should be based
on the marvellous perfection of the human
framework. Before II attempts to follow
the course of rivers, II should be able TO
follow the intricate courses of the fine veins
and finer nerves. 1t should he taught that
sickness Is as inevitable consequence of
broken law of God, as crime, though there
NAV I've mitigating circu instances. A man
who inherits consumption, for example,
does not sin If he do not live out the three
score years aud ten which are the allotted
span.
But if 80 years be the limit which the
most conscientious bodily care sets 10 his
usefulness here, he does sin in every ex-
cess, or carelessness, or neglect, which
dwindles his 80 years TO 20. He is a con-
structve suicide. so to speak, if he died
then. 1t should be taught also, that sick
ness is. of necessity, selfish, because will
ingly or unwillingly, 1t must yoke health
to its car, sacrificing the higher to the low
err. Doubtless every invalid devastates the
lives of three we'll persons, deprives tho
world of whatever productive value these
three might else have had. When bad
breath shall be held offensive as evil-speak-
ing, and weak lungs as certain legacy of
ancestral sin as weak morals, and the bod
lily insanity of dyspepsia as dangerous TO
the worlds safety as the mental insanity of
madness, the earth will be peopled by a
higher race. Above all, from the mothers
lips ought children to learn the ever-new
miracle of creation. 1t Is because they are
kept in cruel Ignorance that they get from
hidden sources n crueler enlightenment
Thus an ever-present danger to health
might ne averted, boys and girls would not
be confused and overcome NY the strange
new life of maturity, and men and women
would not need, by long and costly and
painful medical treatment, TO make expia-
ton for the ignorant sins of their youth.
a community educated in the religion of
the body would need no defense against
quack doctors and patent medicines. 1t
would he a community so heallhful, so in
telligent, 50 spiritually minded, that their

RATHER TOO MUCH.-We want to be-
love that story from Peoria paper about
Mr.. Henry Bull, but 1t is hard, very hard
to accept IL with perfect confidence. Mr..
Bull, it is alleged, was fed upon calomel
and blue pills by the doctors for number
years, so that finally he became absolutely
saturated with quicksilver. The other day,
while he was standing by the side of the
house, the sun suddenly came out bright
and warm, and Bull began gradually to
ascend. He stopped at the line of the sill
Of the second story window, and hung
there, suspended in space, until thunder
storm happened to come up, which cooled
the atmosphere, and then Mr.. Bull slowly
descended. Now he has graduated scale
marked on the gable end Of his dwelling.
and whenever Mrs. Bull wants 10 know
how warm 1t u.s. she ties hat-irons to Hen
ry's legs to hold him down, and walks him
around to the gable end, and cuts him loose,
and lets him rise to eighty or ninety de-
grees, and when she gets the information,
she lassoes hin with the clothes-line and
hauls him down. We say we pant TO be-
lieve this anecdote, because II makes us
happier to have perfect faith, but 1t Is hard
or than believing most lies.-ELehan0e.

DRINKING IMPURE WATER.-Set pitch
or of iced water in room inhabited, and
in a few hours ii will have absorbed nearly
all the perspired gases Of the room, the. air
of which will have become purcr but the
water utterly filthy. This depends on the
fact that water has the faculty of condens-
ing, and thereby absorbing nearly all the
gases, which it does without increasing its
own bulk. The colder the water is, the
greater its capacity TO contain these gases.
At ordinary temperature. pint of water
will contain pint of carbonc acid gas,
and several pints of ammonia. This capac-
ity is nearly doubled by reducing the tenn
perature 10 that Of ice. Hence wa.er kept
in the room a while is always unfit for use,
and should often be removed, whether it
has become warm or not. And for the
same reason the water in a pump should
all be pumped out in the morning before
any is used. That which has stood in a
pitcher over night, is not fit for coffee or
water in the morning. Impure wafer is
more injurious to health than impure air,
and every person should provide the means
of obtaining fresh, pure water for all de-
nestle uses.-Dio LeWis.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases Of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable rs hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forcrunners Of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family shosld
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at FIRST but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lccted. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwse to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
hcset the Throat ond Ghost nr chinnnnu, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ord-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Innu.

how easily they can be cured.
