4 HARD WINTER ON THE BEvER
IN MoNTANA.-The reported freezing
Of beaver on Flint creek seems to have
had some foundation in fact. Some
parties who were looking after stock
during the cold weather discovered
some half-grown beaver on the bank Of
the creek, and, on further investigation,
found that the Water-door to the bea-
vers' house bad teen frozen solid, and
the beavers compelled to eat their way
out in another direction. One old bea
yer was found dead inside the house.
and the tails of the young ones having
been nipped by the frost, led TO the
conclusion that the master of the shall
ty had succumbed to the frost king.

beavers, and it seems to be we'll con-

have passed and we are once more at
our settled business. Money is getting
'carcer and times are growing harder.
There is no sale for wood and beside
there is no sleighing. 1 notice that a
considerable quantity of wood has been
taken to Red Wing on wagons, but
think that there is but little made at
this. 1t seems to me that. buyers try
to keep load Of wood on the streets
till dark, then they can get it at their
own price. Now if the Patrons would
get yard where each one could pile
his wood until he got chance to sell it;
or what would be better have a man
hired to sell it, giving u certain per
cent per cord for his service, the result
would probably be to cause a regularity
in price for both the seller and buyer.

Substitute for Steam.

The possibility of employing carbonic
acid as a motOr-the successor of steam as
it is termed-has been discussed at consid-
cradle length by DR.. Beins, in the London
Chemical Nel1s, the article being repro
duced quite generally by the scientific
press.
DIR. Beins considers that he has discOv-
cred a very cheap way Of producing car
bonic acid in liquid state, and cOnse-
quently at high tension. Thus, when
natrium bicarbonate or the corresponding
salt of kalium in dry pulyerized state or
i'm a waterv solution is heated in closed
space part of the carbOnic acid is given
off and condensed in non-heated portion
of that space, so that at temperature of
from 636o to S4So Fab, liquid carbOnic
acid, says Dr.. B., can be distilled out of
those salts with tension of from fifty to
sixty atmospheres. This liquid carbonic
acid or carbOleum, as it is called, it is pro-
posed to use to develop gas with which
engines are to be driven instead of by
steam, as at present, and further expert
ments with view to the accomplishment
of this purpose will be looked forward to
with much interest.

4 Mule Willing to Go.

A bad little boy lit pack of shooting
crackers, and threw them into the street
to see them "go off," One of Ike Bat
mans mules came along and swallowed
them before they "went off. " The mule
walked about 10 feet and stopped. Things
wasn't acting right inside. He began to
taste the smoke of fire-crackers. He laid
his left ear around against his ribs and
heard something. 1t was them crackers
having fun. The mule picked out about
31 miles of straight road, and started. A
negro met him about mile the other side
OF the Alms-House, going south, white
with perspiration, with streams of smoke
shooting out of his nostrils, mouth, and
ears, while his tail stuck straight up, and a
stream of blue and green smoke about 10
feet long followed in the rear. Ike found
his mule yesterday morning sticking half
way thrOug a farmhouse near Paddy's
Run, still smoking. The man had got
his family out and put EN- up in lot of
trees. Ike hauled his mule home, when
he got cool enough, on dray. The man
is going to move his house further back
off the road, and his wife and Oldest daugh-
ter will be baptized when the water gets
warm.-LouisriLte Cottrier-Joit7ndt

Jaw-Wrenching Chemical NOmencla'
ture. a

Is it not about time that something was
done to simplify the chemical names of
organic compounds? 1t seems to us that
some of the new eognOmens trench close
ly upon the bounds of absurdity; and
while they may be clear enough to the
oldest chemists, accustomed to words
which would stagger the best of ortho-
graphists, we submit that they tend to
heap up mountain of technicality as un-
necessary as it is discouraging to the COM
ing student, and thoroughly unintelligible
10 the general reader.
A recent number of the Deutsche Chem
ische GeseLlschatt informs us that certain
chemist has studied oTthoGnidocresyLpa para
suLDh1erots acid. and that by the aid of hy-
drOchloric acid and chlorate of potash he
has transformed it into ty-ichtororthOtOtG-
quinons. Further on the author discOurses
on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS acid,
and finally some other chemist hurls at us
the fearful jaw-breaker of nitrate of ethe-
nyldenitrophenyLdiGm There are plen-
ty more examples of this kind before us,
but we spare the typo. These names are
of German origin, and hence the German
chemists are responsible for them. Goethe,
in his "Aphorisms on the Natural Sci
ences," says: 1.-THE Germans have the
Gift of rendering the sciences inaccessible, u
sharp criticism which finds an apt Illus
tration in the present MISUNDERSTANDING
american.

A. French Practical Joke.

Turpin, a Frenchman, celebrated by his
countrymen and neighbOrs as wicked
wit, once, out of caprice, assumed the gar0
of a hermit. In this guise, accompanied
by another wag of his own complexion,
he entered an inn yard where he found an
ass attached to the door. Stripping the
animal of its harness, he erept into it HIM
self, and awaited the arrival of the owner
of the ass, while his companion drove the
animal away. The owner. on his return,
was not a little astonished to find his beast
gone, and hermit standing harnessed in
its gear. Still more was he amazed when
he heard Turpin devoutly thanking God
for the return of his human shape. AT
length" exclaimed the hermit, my sins
are forgiven me, and the time OF my
penance is expired. / sinned and was
changed to an ass, but heaven is mereiful.
and its anger does not endure forever
Saying which, Turpin threw down his
harness and walked away. However, not
very long after, the ass was sent to be sold,
and who should come into the market but
its former proprietor. After staring at
the animal, he called out, ''What has the
wretch sinned again! and has he again
turned into an ass For the love of God,
friends, have nothing to say to that animal !!
he has deceived me once, but | am not TO
be caught again; for, look you, whoever
buys him will find him, some day or other,
as did, turned into hermit"

Fig Coffee.

A coffee substitute of roasted figs has
been in the market in Austria for ten
years, and is also prepared at present in
Berlin. Recent tests of it Indicate that IL
possesses more agreeable flavor than the
cbiccory substitute and has thus far been
brought into the market free from injuri-
Gus adulteratiOns, often present in chiecory
coffee. Samples from Berlin, in the form
of coarse brown powder, including yel-
Iowish particles, form an adhering, slight
ly gummy mass on being lightly pressed
between the fingers. and possessed sweet
ish, bitter taste, like caramel, and CORE
spending odor. Austrian samples, al
though mainly similar to the preceding,
were slightly more pulverulent. and OF a
sourish taste; which fact, together with
the chemical analysis, renders it probable
that cheaper, inferior, perhaps spoiled figs,
had been used in its preparation. AT its
first introduction, wonderful medicinal
properties were claimed for it in Austria,
especially in affections of the lungs, etc.,
and it was recommended for nervous per-
sons. Although it may be serviceable in
such cases, it can hardly be considered
medicinal, and the Berlin manufacturer
claims that it is more wholesome than
pure coffee, because it is less stimulating
! In all cases it is recommended to employ
an equal quantity of pure coffee with the
substitute, and the color of the product il
said to be exceedingly fine, as well as the
| flavor,

Cows Horn.

Pretty much ali that we know of art
and science has been derived from care
ful study of nature, and of careful students
Mr.. Frank Buckland, the English natu-
rails, is one If the most faithful. Among
the latest of the lessons he has read US is
one on the structure of cows horn. Z"
lind" he says, that over the brain of the
COW strong roof of bone is thrown, in
the shape of an arch, so as to form a sub
stantlal foundation for the horns This
roof is not solid, but is again strengthened
below by series of bony arches, that are
SO distributed as to form series of hollow
chambers, thus forming structure uniting
strength with lightness. The problem
now is, how to fasten the horn on each
side on to this buttress. The horn itself
must of course be formed of horn proper.
J. e., hardened hair. In the rhinoceros we
find horn composed entirely of solid
mass of what is really bunch of hair ag-
CULTIVATED together; but this kind of horn
would have been much too heavy for the
cows convenient use. What is to be done?
Why, hollow out the center of the horn,
of course; but stay-this will not 40, be-
cause how is the horn to be supplied with
blood-vessels? in fact, how is it to grow?
Let US see how it is done by the Great De-
signer. Cut the horn right across with a
saw, and you will find inside another horn,
only made of bone. If the section is made
about one-third of the way down the
length of the horn. you will be able to
pick out piece of bone in the shape of a
cone, OH which, or rather round which,
the horn proper has shaped ITSELF This
bone fits the cavity with the greatest accu-
racy 1t is as light as the thinnest paper,
and yet as strong as a cone of tin. 1t is
everywhere perforated with holes, which
in life contained the nerves, the veins, and
the arteries; and we know a COW has all
these in her horns; nerves, proved by the
fact that cows do not like their horns
touched, and that they can scratch fly off
their hides with the tip of the horn arte-
ries and veins, provedby the fact that a
horn, when broken, will bleed, and that
the horn of living COW feels quite warm
when held in the hand, besides which the
nerves and arteries form union between
the internal core of bone and the external
covering of horn proper. If we now cut
the rest of the horn into sections, we shall
find that the inside of the bony part is re-
ally hollow, but that very strong but
tresses of bone are thrown (about every
inch or SOY across the cavity of the horn in
such a manner as to give it the greatest
possible support and strength. lhave cut
a cows horn and skull into several sec
tons, to show these buttresses of bone
and now that the preparation is finished,
[ have another specimen to show that
there is design and beauty in all created
objects

Consolation of Old Maids,

One of the pleasantest of Miss Thack-
eray's shortest papers is on the cOns0la-
tons of old maids-a vigorous, and in the
main. Just defense of an aspersed class.
She inquiries if marriage is every thing in
the world if the sun does not shine for
the unmarried; the flowers bloom; the
spring breezes blow soft and balmy; if
there is no work for an old maid in the
vast universe; no occupation; no tasks
which bring blessings, comfort, peace, en-
iovment, delight and happiness? And
ali of thest questions she very heartily an
swers in the affirmative. There is at pres
ent in England an increasing number OF
women who do not marry, and who ap-
parently do not wish to marry. They de-
liberately devote themselves to literature,
to teaching, to some trade, generally an
artistic one, at any rate TO some occupa-
ton that gives livelihood and tends to
culture, and this they choose for life.
They do not seem to be thought of as out
of place but, on the contrary, they move
into fit places in the great social organism,
easily and naturally, and are accepted
without remark. A late article in one OF
the leading papers noted the fact that al
most an entire change las taken place In
this country in current speech, concern
ing unmarried women who are past thirty T;
that, whereas, twenty years ago, and al
ways before, they were called 'old maids, ="
and the phrase wa a term OF reproach.
Now, it is rarely ever used, and lie re-
proach which used to be cast upon such
persons has almost entirely passed away.
