The Leisurely Habits of New York
Business Men.

Men who have been successful in bu-
siness often retire early, giving a
chance to those who have yet their for
tune to achieve Few are so immersed
in money making as to be careless of re-
creation or pleasure. For example,
nearly half of all the members of the
stock exchange are usually abroad, Ell
ther residing or travelling there which
shows that they are not Accordingly
bent on the pursuit of the almighty
dollar. It is mistake-frequently as
the assertion is made-that New York
ers are over-vorked. Generally, they
take more leisure than the residents of
any other American city. They labor
hard while they are at it; but their
hours are short, and their pastimes
are many A business or professional
man can seldom be found in his store
or office until after ten o'clock in the
morning. Between one and two o'clock
%. m. he is out luncheon and after
three he has usually gone home, which
may mean that he has gone to a club,
to call on his friends, or to drive in the
park. He is constantly travelling, either
in this country or in Europe; makes it
a point to be out of town during the
the winter so that his real working
days are not much more than two hun
bred days out of the entire year, and
his working hours not more than four
out of the twenty-four. This, certain
ly, cannot be called very arduous life !;
and the result of it is, that the most of
our citizens look fresh and are vigorous
after they are far advanced. An exem-
plifcation is seen in Cornelius Wander
bilt, who, in his 18th year, is perfectly
hale and hearty walks as erect, and is
as 1.-THE and supple as if he were still 40.

Means What He says.

Though combinations strong as proofs of
Holy Writ and as numerous as the sand on
the sea shore, were produced to prove that
DR.. Pierce, the proprietor of DR.. Sages Ca
tarrh Remedy, is in earnest and means what
he says, when he offers $500 reward for any
case of catarTh which he cannot cure, yetthere
would be some skeptics and fogies who would
continue to shout 4" Humbug!" ''humbug !"
1T cannot be, because DR.. Homespun, says
catarrh cannot be cured" Now, this DR..
Homespun is the identical good-natured old
fellow who honestly believes aud persists in
declaring that this earth is not round or spher-
ical, but fiat as ''slap-jack," and does not
turn over. otherwise all the water would be
spilled out of Deacon Bascoms mill pond.
But astronomical science has positively de
monstrated and proven that DR.. Homespun is
wrong in supposing the earth to be fiat and
stationery, and medical science is daily prov
ing the fact that he is no less mistaken and
behind the times in regard to the durability of
catarrh. In short, it has been positively pro-
ven that this world moves, and that medical
science is progressive, the opinion of DIR.
Homespun to the contrary notwithstanding.
That DR.. Sage's CatarTh Remedy will cure ca
tarrh thousands who have used it attest.

Oilinr the Harness.

In these times of poor leather, we
should clean and oil the harness at least
once a year, to keep it in good condition,
and to reduce the wear and tear as much
as possible. Don't let the job ont to the
harness-maker, but some of these stormy
DAYS when the harness is not in use Just,
take into the workshop and commence
operations. Take the harness all apart,
and scrape off all scurf, hairs, and dirt
and wash the leather clean with soap
and hot water. Then heat two or three
quarts of neatsfootoil in long, shallow
pan, and draw each piece of leather
through it slowly, bending the leather
backward and forward, and rubbing the
oil in with a cloth or sponge. Hang
near the fire to dry, and repeat the pro-
cess until the leather is saturated with
oil !; mix little lampblack with clean
tallow, and with a cloth rub it into the
leather while warm, until the pores are
filed, and the surface becomes smooth
and glossy. If harness is oiled in this
way it is never gummy, and will there
fore keep clean long time. Sometimes
linseed oil or adulterated oils are used,
but they dry on the leather and make it
gummy, dirt and hairs stick to it and
the harness gets so filthy as to soil every
thing it touches After the harness has
had good oiling, an occasional rubbing
with tallow and lampblack will keep the
leather tough aud pliable, and prevent
] it from cracking.

Raising Wild Geese

The wild goose (Anser CanadensiS)
is very different bird from the Euro
pean wild goose from which most of our
domestic geese are descended. 1t is
widely distributed over the continent,
and is seen in great focks, every spring
and fall, passing to and from its breed
ing-places. Wilson says, cit is highly
probable that they will extend their
migrations under the pole itself, amid
the silent desolation of unknown coun-
tries, shut out from the eye of man by
everlasting barriers of ice" The breed
ing territory extends from the parallel
of forty two degrees northward. Their
favorite haunts are the shores of Labra-
dor, and Hudson's and Baffin's bays,
whose solitudes afford their desired Sc
clusion. There they breed in immense
numbers, and the young attain their full
growth in about three months, and are
ready to join the fall migration south
ward.
The Canadian goose has been domes-
ticated, from very early period, but
no amount of cultivation has wrought
any change in appearance and habits of
the bird. The color, or marking, has
not changed feather, and the size has
not perceptibly increased. After years
of restraint they will break away from
the Enclosure, if they have opportunity,
and join the wild focks that pass over
them, so strong is their instinct for mi
grafton. The only method for keeping
them in confinement is to remove the
first joint of one wing, so that they can
not fly. They will then keep company
with the domestic goose or other water
fowl, and come regularly with them to
the place where they are fed.
The bird is homogeneous, and it is not
practicable to break the gander of this
habit of choosing one mate. He will
not voluntarily, leave a mate of his own
kind, for a goose of another variety.
The female lays from four to seven eggs,
and they almost uniformly hatch, and
are easy birds to rear. They do not
breed until they are three years old.
It is quite common to see this goose
domesticated, especially among shore
farmers. They are kept either for orna-
mental purposes OF to rear mongrel
geese. The principal profit lies in cross
ing them with other geese. The flesh
of the mongrel goose is an epicurean
dish, and will bring two or three prices
in the large city markets. AS the fe-
male bird lays buy few eggs, it is
thought best to put common goose
with a Canadian gander. Three or four
times as many eggs are secured at the
first laying, and sometimes a second
laying can be secured by setting the first
eggs under hens Where they do well,
the raising of mongrel geese pays large
ly. The hybrids are larger than either
of the parents, and make a very hand
some bird, but have reyer been known
to breed.
On the shores of Naraganset Bay,
large numbers of these geese are reared
every year.
Upon the seashore, or near ponds or
dreams, water-fowls may be kept at a
small cost, for they are industrious for
ayers, and when favorably situated, will
CLEAN large part of their subsistence.

About IcicIes.

Icicles are a pretty paradox, formed
by the process of freezing In sunahine
hot enough to melt snow, blister the hui
man skin, and even, when concentrated,
to burn up the human body itself.
Icicles result from the fact that air is
all but completely transparent to the
heat rays emitted by the sun-that is,
such rays pass through the air without
warming it. Only the scanty fraction
of rays to which air is not transparent
expend their force in raising the temper
AZURE. The warm puffs of the summer
breeze are not heated directly by the
sun itself, but by the earth and the OBJ
iects on which the sun has previously
warmed. The truth of this is sensibly
felt on entering town after sunset,
from the open country, in sunshiny
weather. The same difference of tenn
perature is never felt at the close of a
cloudy day. This cause is one of the
reasons why the air on mountain top
is colder than at it's foot. The air on
high mountains may be intensely cold,
while burning sun is overhead. The
solar rays which, striking on the human
skin, are almost intolerable, are incom-
petent to heat the air sensibly, and we
have only to withdraw into perfect shade
to feel the chill of the atmosphere.
Snow is one of the many objects which
absorb and are warmed by the solar
heat. On a sunny day you may see the
SUBMITS of the high Alps glistening
with the liquefaction, while the air
above and around the mountains may be
many degrees below the freezing point.
The same thing happens in the snow
upon your house-roof. The sun plays
upon it and melts it. The water trickles
to the caves and hangs In a drop. LII
the caves are in the shade, or in declin-
ing sunshine, or the air intensely cold
with brilliant sun, the drop, instead of
falling, congeals. An infant icicle is
formed. Other drops and driblets sue
coed, which both thicken it at the root
| and lengthen it. The drainage from
the snow. after sunshine is gone, con-
tinue to produce icicles. until the flow
of water is stopped by the frost. In
the Alps, Dr. Tyndall tells us, when the
| liuuefaction is copious and the cold in
tense, icicles grow to an enormous size.
Over the edges (mostly the southern
edges of the chasm hangs a coping of
snow, and from this depend, like stalac-
tites, rows of transparent icicles ten,
twenty, thirty feet long, constituting
one of the most beautiful features of the
| highest crevasses. But an icicle would
be incomprehensible if we did not know
that the solar beam may pass through
the air and still leave it at any temper
allure.

We are engaged now in developing
a scheme for growing kid gloves upon
the original animal. Our friend OAR
win teaches us that you can do almost
any thing with breeds by iudicious ''se-
lection ;" and we are convinced that
with but little care, it will be possible
to produce a beast whose skin when
stripped off will make a seamless kid
glove. Our first experiments are with
lizards. A lizard has four legs and a
tail. Now we believe that the off fore
leg can be developed into a thumb,
while the three other legs and tail can
be arranged as fingers. We are cross
ing lizards with short tails with those
with long legs; and we are now looking
for variety of lizard with button or
two on their necBs, for the purpose of
breeding it IN with others whose eyes
will answer for button-holes.
