NATURES BAROMETERs.

Certain movements on the part OF the
animal creation, before a change of
weather, appeared to indicate reason
ing faculty. Such seems to be the case
with the common garden spider, which,
on the approach of rainy or windy
weather, will be found to shorten and
strengthen the supporting guys of his
web, lengthening the same when the
storm is over There is a popular su-
perstition in England that it is unlucky
for an angler to meet a single magpie
but two of the birds together are good
omen. The reason is that the birds
foretell the coming of cold or stormy
weather; and then, instead of their
searching for food for their young in
pairs, one will always remain on the
nest. Sea gulls predict storms by as
sembling on the land, as they Know that
the rain will bring earth-worms and
larvae to the surface. This, however,
is merely search for food, and is due
to the same instinct which teaches the
skim along the ground when foul is
coming. They simply followthe Lies and
gnats which remain in the warm strata
of the air. The different tribes of wad-
ing birds always migrate before rain,
likewise to hunt for food. Many birds
foreten rain by warning cries and I'M
easy actions and swine will carry hay
and straw TO hiding places, oxen will
lick themselves the wrong way of the
hair, sheep will bleat and skip about,
hogs turned out in the woods will come
home grunting and squealing, colts will
rub their backs against the ground,
crows will gather in crowds, crickets
will sing more loudly, flies come into
the house, frogs croak and change color
to dingier hue, dogs eat grass, and
rocks soar like hawks. It is probable
that many of these actions, are due to
actual uneas1ness, similar to that which
all who are troubled with COINS or
rheumatism experience before a storm,
and are caused both by the variation in
barometric pressure and the changes in
the electrical condition of the atmos-

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The State of New York is about to
try new and important experiment,
that of compulsory education. The
law, which goes into effect on the 1st of
January next, requires every person
having the control or charge of any
child between the ages of s and IA
years to see that such child has four
teen weeks schooling each year, eight
weeks of which must be consecutive.
The penalty for not doing this is one
dollar for the first ofense and five dol
lars for each week of neglect afterward,
up to thirteen weeks in any one year /;
making total of penalties per year, in
each case, $66. The money thus col
lected is to be added to the school fund
of the school district in which the
offenses occurred. If child does not
attend school as the law prescribes, he
is to be deemed an habitual truant,
taken charge of by the school authori-
ties, and sent to truant school. It is
also provided that no person or COM
pany is allowed to employ any child
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years in any business whatever during
the school hours of any school day in
the public school in the city or district
where such child is, unless such child
has had in the year Immediately pre-
ceding such employment fourteen
weeks schooling; and at the time of
employing such child the employer
must receive from the child q certificate
of the teachef or school trustee certify
ing to such schooling. The duty of en-
forcing this law is imposed upon the
trustees of school districts and public
schools, and Presidents of union school
districts or, in case there are no such
officers, upon such officers as the
Board of Education of the city or town
may designate. The Revised Statutes
make the neglect of this duty misde-
meanor, punishable by a fine of not
more than $3.50 for each offense.

A DIsCoMFITED DEAD-HEAD.

An editor, being importuned for the
ater tickets by a well known dead-head,
at last gave him the following letter to.
the business manager of one of the
principal theaters :" Ny Dear Friend
4 send to you lunatic who has tor
mented me two hours for tickets but
beware of him, for he is very dangerous.
His family usually keep him in charge
of faithful attendant, but to-day he
has managed to escape. I think he is
armed. Yours. ETC." The unsuspecting
D. n. presented this note at the thea
ter, and was astonished to find
the manager brandlsh chair, order
him to be off, and roar for the fremen
to bring the hose and give him a duck
ing. The victim went down stairs four
steps at a time, and has ever since been
profoundly amazed at the reception he
met with.

ORIGIN OF sURN4MES.

For long time persons had but one
name each, but as mankind multi
Piled it was found convenient to add
another name, for the sake of more
readily and certainly distinguishing one
person from another of the same name.
For some time the general family name
was added to the first name. Thus
David was called David the son of Jesse.
In Greece and Rome the fathers name
was often subjoined. In England also,
our forefathers often added the family
name, but in SO doing they added the
word son at the end, and not at the be-
ginning of the fathers name. Thus,
John Williamson meant John, the son
of William Thomas Jackson meant
Thomas, the son of Jack and James
Harrison meant James, the son of Har-
ry. The Welsh people very often add
a second name by the repetition of the
first thus, Thomas Thomas, William
Williams +; and sometimes they use an
other Christian name, which originally
was probably the paternal name of the
.
probably at its first use Charles, the
son of William. Sometimes a second
name was given to man from his trade,
as John Baker, William Butcher. Some
times na1nes were taken from places,
towns and countries, as John France,
William England, Thomas Carlyle,
Ralph Bolton. Sometimes names were
wickedly and contemptuously applied
to persons, and were fastened upon
them and their children forever thus,
Crookshanks and Sheepshanks. But
the sources of surnames are almost end
less. Nature, arts, trades, colors,
bodily pecuEarities, remarkable facts,
places and circumstances have all fur
nished them.

TIE ADVENT OF HoRsEs.

In Cassell's Book of the Races of Man
kind, the following account is given of the
introduction of horses among the In
dams of North America '' The horses
possessed by the prairie tribes are de-
scended from those originally intro
duced by the Spaniards into America.
The tribes on the Pacific slope of the
Rocky Mountains obtained horses at
still later period. The old Cyuse chief,
who had few years ago upward of
5000 horses Gt is said), told me he re-
members an old man who recollected
the first horse which was brought to his
tribe. An Indian of an inquiring turn
of mind had gone far to the south, and
after long absence returned with an
extraordinary animal, which he was
afraid to mount, and had accordingly
led all the way. 1t was horse. He
had obtained it from some of the south
ern tribes-probably the Shoshones, or
some of the New Mexican tribes, and
for long time it was led out at high
feasts and festivals, no one venturing to
get on it's back. At last daring youth
essayed the task, and, after having
himself carefully bound on its back,
trotted off, to the CONSERVATION of the
female members of his family and the
admiration of the rest of the village.
No mishap came to him, and soon his
feat was no nine days wonder. Other
youths mounted, and by-and-by they
also went south and got horses until
they became quite common, and the
Cyuse are now some of the best horse
men among the Indians, and until they
went to war with the United States, and
lost the greater portion of their stock,
were exceedingly rich in horsefesh ;
yet they did not care to sell any,
though in times of scarcity they would
live upon them"

THOUGHTS FROM THE T41wz,D

The older the wise man gets the
wiser he grows; the fool, when he ages,
becomes but an old fool. He who
studies for good purpose, to him his
study becomes blessing to him who
does not, it grows into poison. A bad
wife is like hail-storm. Do not dwell
too long on your friends praises you
will end in saying things against him.
Do much or little, so that you do it for
a good purpose. Refined music is liked
by refined people weavers do not
much care for it. Three cry out, but
get no pity, viz: He who lends out his
money without witnesses, the henpecked
husband. and he who cannot get into
one place and does not try another
One goose generally follows another.
Bad servants first ask only when they
have committed blunder. The load is
laid upon the camel according to its
strength. If a word is worth pound
silence is worth two. A pig is the rich.
est animal; everything is piece of
goods to him. Whoever does too much
does too little. The greater man, the
greater his passions. He who presses
the hour, the hour will press him. May
our future reward be like that of him
who remains silent under false impu-
tation. One pepper-corn is better than
a hundred gourds. A learned man
whose deeds are evil is like man who
has door and no house. He who
prays for his neighbor will be heard
first for himself. He who marries his
daughter to an uneducated man throws
her before a wild beast. He who
throws out suspicious should at once be
suspected himself. Three keep good
fellowship-strangers, slaves, and
ravens. A fool always rushes to the
fore. Do not cry out before the calam-
ity has really happened. If man
says something strange, beware to mock
at it wantonly. Passion is at first like
thin reed by and by it becomes like
a cable.-JeaDish Messenger.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in
csse of accident "For dust in the
eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water into
them !; remove cinders, etc., with the
round point of lead pencil. Remove
insects from the ear by tepid water !;
never put a hard instrument into the
ear. If an artery is cut, compress
above the wound if vein is cut, COM
press below. IF choked, get upon all
tours, and cough. For light burns, dip
the part in cold water if the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with varnish. Smother
fire with carpets, ETC.; water will Of
ten spread burning oil, and increase
the danger. Before passing through
smoke, take full breath, and then
stoop low, but if carbon is suspected,
walk erect. Suck poison wounds, un-
less your mouth is sore. Enlarge the
wound, or, better, cut out the part
without delay. Hold the wounded part
as long as can be borne to q not coal or
end of cigar. In case of poisoning,
excite vomiting by tickling the threat,
or by water and mustard. For acid
poisons, give acids in case of opium
poisoning, give strong coffee and keep
