A True GENTLEMAN.-A true man
is above a mean thing. He cannot
sloop to a mean fraud. He invades
no secret in the keeping of another.
He takes selfish advantage of no man S
mistakes. He is ashamed Of inuendoes.
He uses no ignOble weapons in con-
troversy He never stabs in the dark.
He is not one thing to mans face
and another to his back If by acci
dent be comes into possession Of his
neighbor's counseIs, he passes upon
them instant Oblivion. He bears sealed
packages without tamperiag with the
wax. Parers not meant for his eye,
whether they fiutter IN at the window,
or lie open before him in unguarded
exposure, are sacred to him. He pro
faneS no p iyacy for others, however
sound the sentry sleeps. Bolts and
bars, locks and keys, bonds and secur-
tiles, notice TO treSspasserS, are not for
him. He NAV be trusted ont of sight
anywhere. lie buys no office, he sells
none, inlrigues for none, He would
rather fail Of his rights than win them
through diShonor. lie will eat hone, {
bread. He insults no man. If he has
a rebuke for another, he is straight
forward open and manly. He cannot
decend to scurrillity. BiIIingsgate
don't lay on his track. Of woman
and TO her, he speaks with decency
and respect. In short, whatever he
Judges honorable he practices towards
every ONE.

a HUSBAND WORTH HAvIYG.-Her-
MARI, the celebrated magician, was
married recently, and his wife doesn't
hava 4 get up at daylight to go to
ma,tvt. When she wants a dozen of
eggs she simply hands her husband
the empty bag, and be produces them
by sleight of hand then he cooks an
ria., in q borrowed hat, and con
ve5ts q can of sawdust into that much
white sugar, and similar cups filed
with Clipped paper change into hot
coffee then he takes the same hat,
stirS up its emptiness with a magic
wand, and, presto change out comes
a loaf of bread, a fresh shad, two
pickles, one pie, bucket of coal, a
dish Of nash, with natural hairs in il,
aAd half a dozen knives and forks.
This Is much cheaper than going TO
marS-t. But Mrs. Hermann is not
happy. When her husband wants a
gold dollar he mysteriousIy picks it
II the end of his wife's nose. And
she Is dissatisfied because she can't
perform that trick herself.

BIC ENTEErRISEs.-Great enterprises
are Spungmg up all over the world.
Besides the Mount Cenis tunnel, the
Alps are being pierced by a still
greater bore under Mont ST. Gotbard
The Suez Canal finds A counterpart
IN the projected inter oceanic canal
across the lSthmus IF Panama. The
problem Of n tunnel beneath the Emo.
Hsh Channel, which has long been
mooted, begins to assume tanoible
shape, and now it is seriously pronosed

now projected, the tunnel is 10 be con.

Ihe submarine part will be 44.l6O
iSet long or nearly nine English miles.
Ihls enterprise, however, presents
greater difficulties than that under the
English Channel, though the latter is
twice As long as the former. The
maximum depth Of the Channel at
the points to be cut through is but
1862 feet, while that of the Straits
amounts TO 262l feet. In case the
tunnel under Gibraltar be bored at a
depth OF 1000 feet, It's total depth be.

The GREAT SHooTING.-The Amerl-
can rifle team, composed of SIX persons,
who went TO Ireland to shoot match
with the Irish rifle team, composed OF
the same number of persons, have
come of victorious. The match took
place on the 2Sth ult., and was Wit
messed by 10000 people. The Lord
Mayors of London and York were
present in Dublin, with their suites,
and a large number of other distln-
guished individuals. Three rounds
were shot, the first at 500 yards range,
the second at 900 yards and the third
at 1000 yards. In the first or SUI
wards range the Irish team came out
one point ahead, the score standing,
Americans 337 Irishmen 33S. In
the second or 900 yard range, the
score stood, Americans, 327; Irishmen,
292. In the third or 1000 yards
range, the score was, Americans, 3O3;
Irishmen 299. The total score or the
three rounds or ranges was, Amerl-
cans, 967 Irishmen, 929-the Ameri-
can, thus winning the match by 80
points. After the match and on the
return of the contestants from Dolly
mount to Dublin, the American team
had a perfect ovation. The Irishmen
frankly admitted the superiority of the
Yankee shooters, and accompanied
the admission by the most graceful
conduct. The Lord Mayor of Dublin
gave the American team grand ban.

HOG FAEvTNG.-A writer IN the
Anabejm Gd-ette has the following
very truthful remarks on this subject
Dairying and hogs are iDseparabiy
connected. Many dairymen pay the
current expenses of their establish
ment by The sale Of hogs they have
,arteued on the sour milk and whey
of rhe dairy. But now | propose to
consider the hog question on lis mer-
It's as a distinct branch OF farming.
Cattle and sheep cost money, and,
compared with hogs, they increase
slowly, and it takes a considerable
capital to 90 into either business; but,
on the other hand, hogs increase and
multiply so rapidly that a poor man
with a few head generally finds that
his stock increases faster than his
means Of feeding them. II Is my
confident belief that a system OF
farming where hogs consume all the
produce Of the farm is the most prof.
liable Of any of the plans which l
have heretofore treated. 7 Italia Is
the basis of the system. This grass,
either ua,tured Or soiled (bolh plans
are gooi), will keep the hogs fat and
in fine, thriving and growing con.
dition all the year. Barley is sown,
and when sufficiently mature, portions
ftne crop are enclosed by a movable
fence, ana the hogs turned upon it.
The hogs will harvest, thrash and
sack all Of the barley-wirhout eypense
to the owner and, if need be- will
walk to market afterward. If roots
are planted they will harvest them in
the same way. The corn only re.
qnires husking and cribbinp the
hogs save all the expense of sheIIing
ana sackIug, and, as in the case of the
barley, make no charge for it. They
are the best labOr.savinp machines
ever invented, with the ADVANTAGE
that they don't wear out nor require
repairs, II the proper arrangements
have been made for controlling their
movements. No kind of stock is so
pTohlahle, nor so little trouble, nor
requires 50 little capital to commence
with; 1t Is unnecessary to 90 into
the details Of the profits of hog rails.

principles, which will. if borne in mind
and acted upon, almost ALWAYS pro-
tcct one from los. They may be
briefly stated thus: Never listen to
any proposition which is commended
10 yon As giving opportunities for
making money dishonesty or by sell
ING an article for much more than lis

have You defraud others, will cheat
you If he has a good opportunity. As
rule, when a stranger proposes TO
sell you any article at very much less
than lis value, it is safe to decline

OF the article. Neverm make purchase
or contract with a stranger when his
assurance Is the only evidence YOU

FRIGHTENING CHILDRES.-Nothing
can be worse for a child than TO be
frightened. The effect of the scare it
Is slow 10 recover from; it remains
sometimes until after maturity, as is
shown by many instances of morbid
sensitiveness and excessive nervous
ness Not unfrequently, fear is en-
Ployed as means of discipline. Chill
dren are controlled by being made to
believe that something terrible will
happen to them and punished by being
shut up in dark rooms, or by being
put in places they stand in dread of.
No one, without a vivid memory of
his own childhood, can comprehend
how entirely cruel such things are.

\ Novel CEREMoNY.-The opening
OF bridge at Aries, France, has been

diversion, known as the baptism Of
the bulls, of which the Pal Mall

Near the town is an immepse plain
called the Camargue, where multi
tudes of cattle usually Craze in peace
During great public festivals, how
ever, large amphithester is formed
of carts and hurdles, which serve 10
define the half-circ!e. 4 straight line
is then drawn with plow between
the extremltles OF the curve and thi4
open space Is toward the Camargue.
A number of bulls are then driven
into the arena so formed. They in
Instantly endeayor to leave 1t and re-
turn to their pasture, but they are
stopped by body of hOrsemen armed
with tridents. \ few, however, man
age TO break through the line, and
then comes the real excitement of the
day. The plow-mark is guarded by
men on foot, who meet the fugitive
bulls, seize them by the horns, throw
them down, and apply the branding
iron to each from among those bear
ing the names of the cattle owners of
the Camargue. As, however, brand.
ing the bull is considered a great
honor, the handsOmest speetatress of
the sports is led forward TO give the
unfortunate animal his fiery baptism
Such Is the scene with which the open
ing Of the bridge of Aries was cele
brated the other day. The men liked

hoped that the bnlls liked it too.

How Long 10 sleep.

How much sleep IS necessary 10 re-
new the exhausted energies of the
brain and fit il perfectly for its work
must be determined by individual ex-
perience, but as to children 1t Is safe
to TO say they ought to be INDUCED to
the extent of their inclination. They
require more sleep than adults, and
old peop!e, if their slumbers are sound,
incline to sleep at shorter Intervals
than persons in the prime of life. The
difference in individuals in this respect
Is very great. DR.. Cooch mentions
man who sleeps only fifteen minutes
dav and enjoys good health.
Rlaipe. in his Medical Logic,
speaks of some missionaries in Cuba
who reduced their sleep to the mini
mum, that they might pursue their Ia
bors with the least possible interrup-
ton. When forced to rest they throw
themselves on a couch with a brass
hall in hand over a brass basin. The
moment they lost their consciousness
the ball dropped from their fingers,
and ringing on the basin, walked them;
and this sleep they found afforded
only the recruit that nature demanded.
! Seneca declares that Macenas passed
three years without sleeping a single
hour: and Boerhave afirms that be
passed six weeks at one time without
Sleep; but neither of these statements
are credible.
Blaine was informed by General
P;chagrew that during his active cam
paign 10 Holland he never for year
Slept more than one hour in twenty
four; and the same is related of
Charles MI, during his woderful
career. Jeremy Taylor, during part
of his life, slept only three or four
hours in twenty-four; and Napoleon
slept only four or FIVE hours during
his military career but he was able
TO fall asleep at any time in the midst
of his work when he felt drOwSy.
John Hunter, the great surgeon, slept
four hours at night and one after
dinner.
Sir John Sinclair gives the history of
a man who had reached the advanced
age of ninely-one, and all his life had
slept but four hours in twenty four.
Sir Walter Scott had said he was not
