Singing to Cows.

Cows are sociable, and understand more
than we suppose. The way I came in pos
session of this choice bit of knowledge, Tim
and l used to sing to our cows. They knew
very quickly when we changed from one
tune to another. We have tried them re-
peatedly. When we sang sober church
hymns, they'd drop their ears down, look Sc
rious, and chew their cuds very slowly, re-
minding memo irreverence meditated-of
nice old ladies in church, listening to the
words of the preacher, yet all the time
munching cloves. Then we'd change to
some quick air, Yankee Doodle" or the
like, and they would shake their heads,
open their eyes, blink at us, as much as to
say, "Stop, don't you know that we are the
deacon COWS 2" But when we would stop
entirely, every cow would turn her head, as
if asking us to 60 on with our singing. If
it was pleasant, we generally sang together
through the entire milking. | love the dear
animals that add so much to our comfort
Boys, will you not, then, be kind to the
COWS?

An Aquatic Velocipede-successful Trial
the Machine in Philadelphia

On Saturday afternoon last number of
people assembled on the wharf below the
Kensington water. works to witness the trial
of what the inventor calls an aquatic veloc-
ipede. The suspension power of the ma
chine is in three cigar-shaped zinc floats,
fifty four inches in length by about fourteen
inches in diameter. Two of these floats are
placed opposite to each other, about six feet
apart, stiffened and held in position by iron
rods running to chair seat placed directly
over the centre. The third float is placed in
the rear and midway between the two others.
This latter float is likewise secured to the
chair by rods, but in such way that it acts
as a rudder, the rider working il by means
of ropes running to his seat. The wheel,
which is of iron and weighs 40 pounds, is
placed directly in front of the chair. The
spokes are - in number, Is inches long,
with floats at their outer extrsmities six
inches square. The wheel is propelled by
the feet, as in velocipede. When the rider
was seated in the chair the floats were about
half submerged and the seat of the chair
about three feet above the water. The
weight of the entire apparatus is loo pounds
The machine was put together and placed in
the water in Gunner's Run before taking it
to the river front, and here occurred what
came very near proving a drowning case.
Captain E. W. Powers, who is interested in
the machine, while standing on some logs in
the creek watching its movements, was pre-
cipitated into the water by the turning of
log, and but for the timely assistance Of Mr..
George w. Branson, would have lost his life.
Directly after high water the velocipede was
brought around into the river dock, and after
performing several evolutions, such as turn
ing, backing, rocking, it was started straight
across the river to a stake boat anchored
half mile distant This boat was rounded,
and the machine brought back to the dock,
a distance of a mile, in about ten minutes
In the home. stretch it encountered the
waves of the steamboat John A. Warner,
but it rode them out safely, aud without d.
minishing its speed in the least.-Philadel-
