in the shape of a thin Cruel as q
drink. In the first place it is neces'
sary to perfect digestion that the
saliva should be mixed with the food
and the food should be returned from
the first stomach to the mouth for q
second chewing or rumination. This
is only done when the food is bulky,
recurring considerable chewing. In
the second place the gullet, or pass
age from the mouth to the stomach,
in r~uminants, opens directly into the
third stomach, having intermediate
longitudinal openings closed by lips
by which the food enters the first
stomache. If the food is bulky and
solid, it separates the lips of these
openings and finds an entrance &c
either or both the first and second
stomach. If otherwise, itpasses over
the closed lips and enteres the third
stomach. In the first case, by a
periodic inverted action Of the gullei
the food is thrown in small quantities
from the stomaebs TO the mouth,
where it is reduced to a soft semi
liquid condition, in which state it is
passed easily to the third for diges-
ton. In the second place it misses
this process, of ruminstion, and is
therefore not in a condition for per-
feet digestion, and the meal is seen
to pass away in considerable quanti-
tics nnalfered.

A gypsy

A camp of gypsies is near Wash
ington, and a Repablican reporter
has visited it and talked with Gitana,
a gypsy maiden. We quote:
1--WE suppose you are human be-
ings and have to get divorced !"
Sometimes; but its a dreadful
thing with us to get divorced. 1t
causes grief and mourning, and blood
has to be she'd"
"WelI pray tell US how you get
divorced 2n
81 know l am talking too much"
and the Gitana trembled as she
spoke, but a half dozen bright silver
quarters, thrown into her lap, seemed
to give her assurance. Il know |
am talking too much, but III tell you.
1t is this way: When a mar and his
wife are to be separated, it is done
bv the sacrifice of a horse"
zone is picked out which is entire
ly sound and free from a bruise, or
even a scratch, and be is led out to
the spot where the divorce is to take
place, and exactly at twelve O'Clock.
The men cast lots for the one who
shall kill the horse, and, for this &C.
casion he is the priest. The priest
takes a long pole in his hand and
walks around the horse several times,
and in o loud voice praises the good
qualities, and names all the persons
who have owned it."
The horse is then led into the tent
ofthe woman who is to be divorced.
If he kicks round and jumps about,
the woman has been very bad if he
keeps quiet, she has not been so bad.
The priest then takes a large knife and
stabs the horse to the heart, and
when it is stretched out on the ground,
the husband takes his place on one
side of it, and the wife on the other.
They join hands across the horse,
and repeat some sentences in the gyp-
sy language. Then they walk three
times around the horse in opposite
directions.
1.-The last time, when at the head
of the horse, they face each other
and speak, and do the same thing
at the tail. They again shake hands
and separate, one going north and
the other south. She never marries
again, and has to wear a mourning
veil, and big shoes on her feet. The
heart of the horse is then taken out,
roasted, sprinkled with brandy, and
eaten by the husband and his friends.
The horse is then buried on the spot.
The husband can marry again"

Tit for Tat.

A young lady, the daughter of the
owner ofthe house, was addressed by
a young mar who, though agreeable
to her, was disliked by her father.
OF course he would not consent to
their union, and she determined to
elope. The night was fixed, the hour
came, the lover placed the ladder to
the window, and in a few moments
the young girl was in his arms. They
mounted a double horse, and were
soon some distance from the house.
After a while the lady broke the
silence by saying:
well, you see what proof | have
given you of my affectioLs; 1 hone
you will make me a good husband
He was a surly fellow, and grufiv
answered Perhaps / may and per-
haps not" She made no reply, but
after a silence Of some minutes she
suddenly exclaimed: ooh. what
shall we do? / have left nv money
behind me in my room.n "Then'n
said he, I'VE must go back and fetch
Il" they were soon at the house, the
ladder was again placed, the lady re-
mounted, while the iIl-natured lover
waited below. But she DELAYED to
come, and so be gently called: "Are
you coming?" when she looked out
of the window and said: Perhaps
| may, and perhaps not :" and then
shut down the window, leaving him
to depart alone.

monkey In Trouble.

Sam Wilcoxen, Of Virginia City,
has a small menagerie of monkeys,
badgers, foxes, cayotes and the like.
He also has a large Newfoundland
dog, on whose back he sometimes
places one Of his pet monkeys when
be is going for a walk about the
town, the monkey fastened to the
collar of the dog by a string. As a
general thing the monkey enjoys his
ride, but we saw him a day or two
since when he would willingly have
traded himself off for some less privi-
legged specimen Of his species. His
canine steed, being allowed to roam
the streets at will, saw another dog
that he thought he could whip, and
forthwith went Tor him like a hairy
hurricane. In a moment both dogs
were on their hind legs and going
for each other like two sausage ma
chimes. This made times very lively
for the monkey, as the strange dog
evidently considered him as part and
parcel of his antagonist. Such walls
of despair as that monkey uttered,
and such hideons faces as be made
we never heard or saw. He would
climb down the side of the dog he be-
strobe opposite to where the war
was going on, and thence peep over
occasionally his jaws quivering, Wis
age distorted, and his eyes starting
from their sockets with terror. As
the dogs were constantly changing
sides, it made times awfully lively
with the monkey. When be jumped
to the ground the string held him,
and be found himself trampled under
the feet of both friend and foe, and
be was glad to get again upon the
back ofhis steed and face the battle.
The poor monkey was in a worse
fix than the boy who stood on the
burning deck, and had not the dogs.
been separated he must have been
rendered a fit subject for the Stocton
Insane Asylum. Asst was, be did
not get over examining the end Of his
tail for wounds for four hours after
the battle perhaps he had fears of
hydOrphobia.

To Can Fruit

A correspondent Of the Rurol Neu
Yorker furnishes some excellent
ideas about canning fruit. She saws,
Use only fresh fruit, and that which
is perfectly ripe. not too soft but Just
right 10 eat well. Fill your cans
full of fruit, put the can in a kettle
ofcold water; put a few iron rings in
the bottom Of the pot to prevent the
cans from breaking; then put over a
slow Ere at first, making it hotter af-
ter the can has become hot. Too
great a heat at first viii crack the
cans at the bottom. Meauwbile
make a nice syrup of white
and when your fruit is half done
cooking pour yonr syrup over the
fruit in the cans, and continue boiling
until done; remove from the
Ere and seal. Some people cook
their fruit before putting it in cans
bot 1t does not preserve its natural
favor as well, neither will the syrup
be as clear. Cooking the fruit in the
cans is the proper way Of Gaining

ries viii do with six ounces. Cook
quart jars twenty to thirty minutes,
according to hardness offruit- Keep
watch of your cans while boiling,
and as fast as the fruit in the can
lowers, Gil up with well ripened fruit;
next morning test your jars; and if
they do not hold, boil them over
again. In ten days from time Of can
ning, test your fruit again, and if the
cover holds them it viii stand for
