CAN ANIMALS COUNT. - N. Houzeau
says: The mule is supposed to be able to
count as far as five, at least; and this is
considered to be established by the follow
ing observation: There is a short branch
line of omnibuses in New Orleans, where
each mule makes the journey five times
successfully before being changed. The
veterinary surgeon of these animals called
attention to the fact that at the end of
each of the first four journeys they are
silent, but as they approach the end of
the fifth they neigh. But this is not salts
factory. The end of the fifth trip may be
marked by preparations for feeding the
animals, which they hear or smell at dis
lance, and these may have produced re-
sponsive eighs.-Seri6ner's

The Fruit Of Carelessness.

Not long ago, as we were riding by
pleasant farmhouse, friend said, "In
that house lives boy who has great sor-
row to carry with him all his life long,
And then he went on to tell how Willie,
few months before, while amusing himself
with his fathers rifle, had pointed it at his
little sister, and playfully asked if he
should shoot her. She screamed, Of course,
as little girls always do at sight of gun,
and he, laughing to see her fright, pulled
the trigger. 1t went off. He had not
thought that it was loaded, but it was, and
he had killed his sister. If this were one
case alone it would be inexpressibly sad;
but when almost every week the papers
bring US similar stories from different
parts of the country, it becomes something
worss-criminal. Boys like guns. There
seems to be fascination about the danger
Gus things that they cannot Withstand
And it is right and proper that they should
learn how to use them. But death dealing
weapons should always be handled with
care, even when one is positively certain
that there is no danger. Recklessness in
using them is no sign of courage, as some
people seem to think. Indeed, bravery
and foolhardiness very rarely 60 together
so rarely that We have noticed that the
best marksman, and the men most practic-
ed in handling pistols, and muskets, and
rifles, have been the men who were invari-
ably most careful in using them, never by
any chance pointing them toward anybody,
whether loaded or unloaded. We suppose
that not one of those hundreds of people
who have " accidentally shot another in
this way meant to do it; not one but would
give all his possessions, and undergo any
amount of suffering, if he could undo the
act. But nothing of that kind can change
the sad case. He will have to suffer the
consequences of that one criminally care
less moment all his life long, and carry
his heavy burden down to the grave. So,
boys, learn to handle your guns carefully

dollars, while bis salary is only eight hum

one hundred dollars from fees. Preachers
and priests receive, up to twenty-third
years of service, from three hundred and
twenty to four hundred dollars. For every
additional five years, forty dollars more.
So pastor of thirty-three years. service

officers of medium grades, thirteen hun

taken for extremes. In those branches of
business which vary much, have reference
to towns of average size. Of the higher
grades of clerks, for instance, l did not
speak. Of the matter of prices and cost
of living, on which the value of these sala-

A House in California, One Thousand Years
Old.

The Hottest house, and the most perfect
seen, was that which woodchopper occu-
pied with his family one winter in the for.
est of Santa Cruz County. 1t was the cav
ity of redwood tree, two hundred and
forty feet in height. Fire had eaten away
the trunk at the base, until a circular room
had been formed, sixteen feet in diameter.
At twenty feet or more from the ground
was knot hole, which afforded egress for
the smoke With hammocks hung from
pegs, and few cooking utensils hung from
other pegs, that house lacked no essential
thing. This woodman was in possession
of house which had been thousad years
in process of building. Perhaps on the
very day it was finished no came along and
entered it. How did all jackknife and
handsaw architecture sink into insignif-
canoe in contrast with this house in the
solitudss of the great forest! Moreover,
the tenant Jared like prince. Within
thirty yards of his coniferous house
mountain stream went rushing past to the
sea. In the swirls and eddies under the
shelving rocks, if one could not land half
dozen trout within an hour he deserved to
60 hungry as a penalty for his awkward
ness. Now and then deer came out into
the openings, and, at no great distance,
quail, rabbits, and pigeons could be found.
What did this man want more than nature
furnished him? He had house with
"cupola" two hundred and forty feet high
and game at the cost Of taking it. This
Arcadian simplicity would have made a
lasting impression, but for volunteer
remark, that nothing could be added to give
life more perfect zest. "Well, yes"
said he, 81 reckon if you are going to
town you might tell Jim to send me up a
gallon of whisky and some plug tobacco"
1t will not do to invest hollow tree with
too much of sentiment and poetry. If that
message had not been suggested, we should
have been under the delusion to this day
that the lives Of those people, dwelling in
house fashioned Thousand years ago,
were rounded to perfect fulness, without
one artificial want.-Operland Monthly.

on THE BEACH.

The moonlight slanted Ger the beach
And leapt across the glancing waves;
1t made the night too pure for speech,
And saddened with sense of graves.
We had been rambling all the day
Breathing the sea air, she and |,
And as the sunlight left the bay
We climbed the rocks to see it die.
Then waited for the rising moon
To cast the glamour of her light
On cliffs too commonplace by noon,
And the long sea-line left and right.
So all our walk to silence grew,
Unbroken by a word or sign,
Till nearer to my side she drew,
And laid her little hand in mine.
The stars came out and in the west
The last faint glow of glory died,
And night, in .iewelsd sables dressed,
Come on us sitting side by side.
Then whom the moon with rounded light
Stepped queenly Ger the horizon,
Along the coast-line stretching white,
With arms entwinsd, we wandered on.
And many creek and winding cove,
And charming prospect did we miss,
Our eyes and thoughts were all for love,
And lips were surely made to kiss!

The Sun Cholera Mixture.
he Journal of Commerce.

From the Journal Of Commerce.
More than forty years ago, when it was
found that prevention of the Asiatic cholera
was easier than cure, the learned doctors
Of both hemispheres drew up prescription,
which was published (for working peo-
ple) in the Nep York Sun, and took the
name of The Sun Cholera Mixture" Our
contemporary never lent its name to bet
ter article. We have seen it in constant
use for nearly two score years, and found
it to be the best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. 1t is to be COM
mended for several reasons. 1t is not to
be mixed with liquor and therefore will not
be used as an alcoholic beverage. Its in
gradients are well known among all the
common people, and it will have no preju-
dice to combat ; each of the materials is in
equal proportion to the others, and it may,
therefore, be compounded without profess
sonal skill; and as the dose is so very
small, it may be carried in tiny phial in
the waist-co pocket. and be always at
hand. 1t is
Tinct opii,
Capsici,
Rhei CO.,
Menth pip,
Camphor.
Mix the above in equal parts dose, ten
to thirty drops. In plain terms take equal
parts tincture of opium, red pepper, rhu
barb, peppermint, and camphor, and mix
them for use. In case of diarrho1a take
dose of ten to twenty drops in three or
four teaspoonfuls of water. No one who
has this by him and takes it in time will
ever have the cholera. We commend it to
our Western friends, and hope that the
receipt will be widely published. Even
when no cholera is anticipated it is an ex-
cellent remedy for ordinary summer COM
plant.
