A NUMBER of prominent young men in

under the name of the "Young Mems
Monumental Association" having for

A YOKOHAMA correspondent saw
European ladies, elegantly dressed in
full evening costume, on their way to
some dinner party in a baby cart drawn
by stout coolies whose only clothing
was the tattooing on their backs and
breech, cloths, four inches wide. One
doesn't mind it after while, but at
first it seems very odd. So it did to
see naked coolie operating a sewing
machine.
THE kind of whisky they have in
Frisco: "After that the cloth was took

TRUE HOSPITALITY of the homo is
never loudly and noisily demonstrative.
II never overwhelms you with it's greet
ing, though you have not o doubt of its
perfect sincerity. You are not disturb
ed by the creaking of the domestic
suddenly driven at unwont-
ed speed for your accommodation.
Quietly it does its work, that it may
put you in peacable possession of it's
results. He is not the true host, she is
not the best hostess, who is ever going
20 and fro with hurried action, and
hurried manner, and heated counte-
nance, as il to say, 'See how hospitable
can be; ;" but rather the one who takes
'our coming with quiet dignity and
loiseless painstaking who never OBJ
rudes attention, yet is very attentive
II the while; who makes You, in one
7ord-the most expressive word in the
Inglish topgue-to be at home. There
J no richer, deeper, larger hospitality
han that.
FARMERS and dairymen have from
me immemorial imagined they knew
attle disease called "horn all" or
hollow-horn." Prof. Cressy now tells
aem it is an old wives fable. The pro-
sssor has cut open innumerable horns
nd found them all hollow. He tells
le cow-doctors there is no such disease
! "hollow-horn. The cure practiced
to bore into the horn and inject some
smedy. This is generally followed by
leeding at the nose, which is supposed
, be a symptom OF the disease and
gn that the remedy is becoming effect
e. The professor ploves by cattle
LulIs that the nasal passages are nor
ally connected with the hollows in
10 horns, and this accounts for the
oring and she internal application of
70 remedy. Horned cattle generally
Ill be glad to hear that the surgery of
o gimlet is not necessary to their
'alth, as scarcely any of them ever got
rough life without being horribly
red.
