So NAIURAL.-An American lately in
London, who was badgered by the
English on almost every topic, at last,
as he said, determined to go in on the
Mississippi steamboat style, and brag
down everything that came in his way.
His first chance occurred at an exhibit
tion of paintings, where picture of a
snow-storm attracted general admira-
ton. sis not that fine ?" asked John
Bull; could you show anything as
natural as thai in America ?"-"Pooh T.
answered the free-born American +:

few years since that painting was so
natural, sir, that mother, who incau-
tiously left her babe sleeping in a
cradle near it, on returning to the room.
found her child frozen to death -
From that time onward, the American
was left alone.

"a MRRcrFUL MAN." tenderly re-
marked Ninth street man not long
since, sis merciful to his beast" and
he called the dog in out of the snow,
gave him his breakfast in soup plate,
and laid piece of carpet down behind
the kitchen stove for him to snooze on.
Then the man went down town, and the
neighbors watched his wife shovel snow
paths to the wood shed, cistern, stable,
and front gate. and then do an hour 5
work cleaning off the sidewalk.

SURPRISING EXCRETIoNs OF THE
SKN.-Experiments have been tried by
SocoIeff as to the effect of suppressing
the excretions of the skin, by shaving
rabbits and painting the skin over with
some material impervious to the pas
sage of vapor. 1t was found that this
always, sooner or later, produced fatal
results, the animals few hours before
death exhibiting intermittent cramps
and commissions, while the temperature
in the rectum fell to considerable ex-
tent. Even wrapping the animals in
cotton failed to produce any material
increase of the temperature OF the in
testines or. to delay death. The inhala-
ton of oxygen was equally powerless in
preserving life. Ulcers. arising from
deep-seated extravations, were found
in the stomach. Albumen made its
appearance in the urine shortly after
the animal had been vanished. What
ever the substance used for coating the
animal, whether simply gelatin, gum,
or regular varnish, Inflammation of the
kidneys was the result sometimes ac-
companied by enlargement of the cell
elements, and sometimes by their fatty
degeneration.

A BosToN man is said to have in
vented plan by which horse-cars may
be started with much less power than
now employed. Over each wheel is a
box containing three rollers, upon
which projection from the body of
the car touches and rolls either way
about six inches. Thus the body of
the car obtains momentum which
starts the trucks of itself. When the
car is on level ground, with the brakes
up, it is in position to start when 60
ing down hill the use of the rollers is
not needed, and when going up the hill
the rollers run back to a proper posi-
ton. The South Boston street railway
has made arrangements to have the
contrivance placed on the cars of its
road.

How To Cook CORNED BEEF. The
Boston Journal Of Chemistry says
Don't boil it, for corned beef should
never be boiled. II should only simmer,

according to the size of the piece. II
it is to be served, let the meat remain
in the liquor until cold. Tough meat
can be made tender by letting it remain
in the liquor until the next day, and
then bring it to the boiling point Just
before serving.

ANIMAL ELECTRIcITY.-George NJ.
Mobray, the manufacturer who fur
nishes all the nitro-glycerine at Hoosac
Tunnel, has recently published PAM
phlet on "Tri-nitro- glycerine at the
Hoossc Tunnel" in which appears the
following statement, which will be
found of equal interest to both engin-
eers and Psychologists. After defend
ing his pet explosive from unjust
charges, as to its dangerous qualities,
he cautions the workman as follows :
''The blaster, not aware that he is a
walking charge of electricity, proceeds
to his work, inserting cartridge after
cartridge of nitro-glycerine, until he
comes to the last, which is armed with
the electric fuse. The moment his hand
touches one of the electric wires, the
current passes through the printing and
follows. Let blaster, before he ham
dies these wires, invariably grasp some
metal in moistened contact with the
earth, or place both his hands against
the moist walls of the tunnel"

WILD DUcKs.-After they are cleaned
and ready for cooking, wrap them in a
clean cloth and bury twelve hours in
the earth to remove the strong flavor of
this bird. They are usually cooked
without stufing. Throe-quarters of an

When you dish them draw a sharp
knife three times through the breast,

ling of Cayenne pepper. This is poured

SINCE golden hair is SO much in favor,
it is we'll for mothers to know that they
can preserve the golden color of their
children's locks by a persistent and
careful washing with CASTLE soap and
water. The hair should be braided and
dipped repeatedly into the suds, and
then wiped with towel, and this opera
ton should be performed once in four
or five days. If persevered in, the
roots of the hair may darken, as the
child grows older. but the mass will
keep its sunny tints as long as the
owner wishes.

ENGLISH TAUGHT IN ONE LESSON.
many of the New York restaurants, q
very heavy French style" is put on
the walters are mostly Frenchmen, and
the bill of fare is often printed il
French. A correspondent writes that,
venturing out early one morning in
New York, he dropped into the first
restaurant he came to, which happened
to be one of the kind spoken of above.
Carelessly giving an order, the
waiter, bringing his shoulders mp under
his ears, responded
''Jene parle pas Anglais, M'sieur."
And the hungry man had to point out
his wants on the bill IF fare, with which
after considerable delay, he was served.
Just here entered another customer,
a tall, powerful man, evidently fresh
from the western prairies. who, sitting
himself in chair, ordered
'Beefsteak, fried potatoes, hot bread
n cup O. coffee"
To him the grinning Frenchman re-
peated the same formula
'Jene parle pas Anglais, M'sieur."
The Western man looked at him for
a moment, and then, rising from his
seat like the opening of big jack. knife
with a stiff spring, he slowly calculated,
as he clenched q wicked fist
"Beefsteak - fried potatoes - hot
breai-cup of coffee-and quick too -
The effect on the waiter was magical.
There never was man served with
more promptitude with Just what he
wanted for breakfast than the hungry
Westerner.
He evidently knew the way of put-
ting his English so that there was no
mistaking it.

FRUIT TREEs.-Fruit trees affected
by fungi. either on the limbs or roots,
may be effectually cured by close pru-
ming the roots and by adding small
quantities of well rotted manure
around the roots. This treatment for
the roots when all the diseased parts of
roots are cut off and the head of the
tree pruned pretty severe-always to
be careful when cutting off a branch
not to leave a snag of three or four
inches. In cutting off branches they
should be cut close to the main stem
or branch. These cuts should beneatlY
smoothed with sharp knife. Clean
culture is one of the great secrets in
fruit culture and from several years
observation in various localities in the
South, fungus has only affected dis
eased and uncultivated trees.

A SERENApE SPOILED. Adeler-
Over at New Hope. Mr.. Dunkel, who
had Just returned from Europe, brought
with him q ''harmonicon." 1t is an
instrument constructed q good deal
like a hand organ, but it is larger and
about ten times more powerful When
it is turned on suddenly in quiet place
it affects the nerves of unsuspectine
people very much as if a cannon were
fired close to their ears. A lot of young
fellows who had never heard ii played
got Dunkel to lend 1t to them one night
for the purpose of serenading Miss
Brown. They put the concern in q
wagon, and, with the help of an urbane
mule, they hauled it around in front OF
Browns house about eleven O'Clock at
night. There they halted, and the
suave mule went calmly to sleep, while
they made the machine ready for &C
tion. The first tune for which the
barrel was set was ''Thou 1t never cease
to love-" Young Mcintosh took hold
of the handle and gave it few pre-
liminary grinjs, in order to fill the
bellows and still that miid-mannered
mule slumbered. No one ever knew
what he was dreaming of T.; but the next
minute Mcintosh gave the crank an
other turn, and fearful b. fiat came
screeching out on the night wind with
the vehemeDce of locomotive whistle.
A second later that mule was proceeding
down the street at the rate of forty
knots an hour, with the harmonicOn at
his heels and, before he could be
checked, he went over the wharf into
the river. Old Brown, meanwhile, had
his head out of the window calling for
the police, under the impression that
he had heard q blood-curdling cry of
"Murderl" and in few moments the
whole population of the village was In
the Street. They fished ont the sere-
naders, and then they angled for the
mule and the harmonicon, and the
serenade was postponed for that even
ing. The next strains that break upon
the ear of Miss Brown while she is
slunbering will probably come from an
ACCORDION. Mules have not enough
sentiment for nocturnal music.
