Every real man should know how to do one

At West Point where they take boys and
teach them to be perfect soldiers, they have to
learn, among other things, to cook and make
bread, and make their own beds, and do their
own sewing, and sweep and dust; because, you

How Do They Find the Way?

Two weeks ago an account was given
of a dog that had been carried 700 miles
somewhere at the West, but, not liking
the place, alone, guided by a 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, al
the raGe of nearly a hundred miles each
day.
An DID horse, purchased of afarmerin
Vermont many years since, was shipped
at Seabrook, Conn, with others, to the
West Indies, for grinding cane. A
storm occurring III Long Island sound,
the deck horses were washed overheard
and supposed to have been lost. The
old Vermonter, however, reached land
in the darkness of a 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 a hurry to reach home.
However far they may be carried con-
fined in baskets, they invariably speed
their way without ever resting on the
voyage till they reach the place deal
to their affections. In 1919, with a view
to ascertain their speed a pigeon was
carried from Antwerp to London, and
there liberated. The bird was at its
cote, have flown $50 miles, in a straight
line, in just six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs, cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way as unerr-
ingly as the carrier pigeon does but
how they do it is beyond our ken.
Some imagine birds see te~lescopically
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 a mule that found his
home in Brazil, hundreds Of miles ove1
a region where man could hardly move,
having neither a 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 adj
rance the theory that "they have q
certain sense of the magnetic currents,
sufficing 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 a dog, who can find his way fol-
a 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 a sense which SIM
ply indicates a straight direction.-Neu

A FARMER says it is safe enough for
all practical purposes to calculate that
5l2 cubic feet of hay in NOV will weigh
a ton. He recently tested the matter
and found it remarkably correct.
A FARMER makes no greater mistake
than IN supposing he must be wealthy
to have a nice lawn in front of the house
planted with flowers and evergreens ;
nor that he cannot have pear trees and
grapes and abundance of small fruits.
The last idea about fencing is to plant
trees for posts, and when they are strong
enough, string wires from one to an
other. The kind of tree is unimportant,
but of course fruit, nut, and maple trees.
On the plains, where fruit trees will not
grow without shelter belts, cotton wood
and white or golden willow may be
planted.

The MOdOc War.

The news from the Modoc war is, to
say the least, not very encouraging. The
force OF 800 troops, after two or three
months hard labor and a heavy loss of
life, having forced the thirty savages
out of the lava beds, have the salts
faction of knowing that the latter, after
getting twenty miles away, have now oc-
cupled a position which is ever stronger
than that of the lava beds. Mean
while, the troops are engaged in dis
putting possession of their camping
grounds with scorpions and rattle
snakes, and Capt. Jack, in Gen.
Canby's uniform, is striving to
make his position impregnable, upon
which no attack will be made until
reinforcements arrive. What the result
will be then, no one can say with conf
dence. Meanwhile, two plans of dispos-
ing of the Modocs have been suggested
by Indians who hive an l-wiIl towards
them. A strategic Plute has vol
unteered a suggestion that it is of no
use to fight Modocs with guns. The
general impression of white people is
very similar to that of the Piute. al
though they will hardly agree to the
plan of "fxing" the Modocs, which he
then suggests, namely, to inform them
that they want to have a big talk with
them, and, having got them to the big
talk, that each Piute shall seize his
Modoc neighbor by the right wrist and
then smash his head with a rock. This
would settle the Modoc question very
conclusively, if the Piute didn't make q
mistake, and get his own head smashed.
The Indians whom Gen. Crook used in
his recent successful raids against the
Apaches have, however, stated very sue
clnctly the reasons why the whites are
not generally successful in hunting the
Indians. One of their number gave the
key to the Modoc situation il the fol-
lowing terse language "White man
is a fool. He gets up in the morning
and makes heap noise. He travels in
daytime and kicks up much dust. See
him for twenty miles. At night he
makes big fire. See him everywhere"
The mistake which our forces commit is
in employing the tactics and strategy Of
modern warfare against a foe who fights
upon an entirely different plan. The
Indian follows his trail by moonlight,
and when the morning comes he hides
away and sleeps, after posting a sentry
upon some high place which commands
a view for miles around. At night he
travels again, and when he over
takes his enemies he springs upon
them suddenly, and seeks to kill every
one. If but one escapes, he turns
about and disappears, that he may not
be surprised in an enemy's country. The
Indian must be fought with the Indian
tactics. Those who hunt him must
know him and his habits. Chicago

steamer, running between France and

obviated. Under sail and steam the
passage is to be accomplished in little

SPONTANEOUS CoMBUsTIoN.-Facts fur
nish more lasting warnings than pre-
cepts. We have frequently found occa-
sion to speak of the danger of spon-
taneous combustion, and now select an
item from the report of the Fire Mar
shall of New York city, which will sup
port u ideas on the subject. Sixteen
recent examples of fires caused by spon-
taneous combustion are recited in this
report. During the year 1872 there
were 1880 fires in New York. How
many were spontaneously caused there
are no mea of knowing. OF the six
teen spontaneous cases above alluded
to, nine originated among oily rags, cot
ton waste or rope materials, two in piles
of coal, one in a mass of " excelsior .
or fine wood shavings used for cheap
upholstery purposes, n in salt hay,
two in oily sawdust, n in rubbish.

FOOlScap Paper.

The term "foolscap," to designate a
certain size paper, nc doubt has puzzled
many an anxious inquirer. It appears
that Charles I. of England granted
numerous monopolies for the support of
the Government, among others the
manufacture of paper. The water-mark
of the finest sort was the royal arms of
England. The consumption of this
article was great, and large fortunes
were made by those who purchased the
exclusive right to vend it. This, among
other monopolies, was set aside by the
Parliament that brought Charles I. to
the scaffald and, by way of showing
contempt for the King, they ordered the
royal arms to be taken from the paper,
and a fool with his cap and bells to be
substituted. It is now over two hun
bred years since the FOOLS cap was taken
from the paper, but still the paper OF
the size which the Rump Parliament
ordered for their journals bears the
name of the water-mark placed there as
an indignity to King Charles.

Perspiring and Cold Feet.

A great many people suffer from this
cause. And the mischief is not confined
to the feet. It extends to the head,
throat, and, in brief, to the entire per-
son. How shall perspiring and cold
feet be made dry and warm Answer
Dip them in cold water every night be-
fore retiring, and rub them until they
are warm, with the naked hand. Wash
them every morning with soap and wa
ter. Change the stockings three times
a week, or in bad cases every day. Weal
substantial leather boots, and avoid rub
bers.
Bad odor, emitted from the feet, is re
moved by the same treatment.
