The Manifold Writing Process.

By the following process, devised by
Hanlen, it is said that about, 100 OF even
200, copies of manuscript may be taken
in ten minutes. In manipulation it is
similar to that of oiled paper saturated
with a pigment, except that in this case
the colored paper is placed beneath,
with the colored side uppermost, and
upon it, instead of writing paper, a sheet
Of firm, thin, very dry old paper is laid
that will take up the color without alb
sorbing it. There may be pile of five,
Or even ten, such layers, of alternate
colored and oiled paper, and when it is
written upon with a pencil or stylus, a
copy i'll reverse will be formed on the
lower side Of each leaf of oiled paper.
From each of these about twenty i'm
pressions can be taken, by placing writ
ing paper in contact with each one, and
srbjecting the whole to the pressure Of
rolling machine, then removing the
impressions, renewing the writing paper,
and subjecting the whole to somewhat
greater pressure than at tirst-repeating
the operation with increased pressure
for each impression up to the twentieth.

Combat with q Leonard.

A terrible combat has taken place ON
the shores OF Lake Tantalus, in the vicin-
ity Of Bournabat Asia Minor, between
professional sportsman named Cara
mouchi, who lives in the little village of
Yakaheni, and a leopard which had for
some time been devastating the neighbor-
hood. So heavy were the losses of the
Inhabitants OF the district by this ami
NAL, that they agreed to have a battue for
him, but in the meantime Caramouchi
determined to attack the leopard alone.
Salying forth one morning about three
weeks ago, accompanied by two friends,
he found the track of the animal in the
snow, and followed it up to cavern in
the rock. The three men fired their
guns simultaneously into the entrance
of the cavern, and We're rewarded by the
sudden appearance of the leopard, who,
bounding forward, seized Caramouchi,
lacerating him severely in the arms and
legs. After desperate struggle the
leopard, who had been wounded by the
discharge OF guns into the cavern, quit
ted it's prey and withdrew to the brink of
a ravine few yards off. Caramouchi's
friends at this juncture prudently pro-
posed to retreat, but Caramouchi signi-
fed his intention Of pursuing the sport,
and, reloading his gun, fired another
shot at the object of his pursuit. The
leopard was now thoroughly out of tenn
per, and, bounding again ON it's assail-
ant, the fight commenced in earnest.
Caramouchi was horribly mangled, but
just as his strength was giving way he
drew out a knife, and stabbing the
leopard in the stomach, by vigorous
effort shook it off and chucked it down
the ravine. The leopard was killed by,
the fall. Caramouchi tainted, but par
TALLY reviving, was carried with the dead
leopard in triumph to the village. He
was then put to bed, where he is likely,
by latest accounts, to remain for several
weeks, and little subscription has been
opened for him by his grateful neigh
bors. Pail HAL Gazette.

Bob is Shoshone Indian who for
several years has worked at odd jobs for
Jimmy Thomas, Reese River Valley. He
is steady boy, good to work, yet true
Indian. Bob had two brothers, who, a
short time since, mysteriously to the
Indian mind, sickened and died. In
some way these two Indians had been
mixed up with a Shoshone squaw, and the
report prevailed that she had bewitched
Bob's brothers so that they had died.
Bob came to town the other day, and
upon his return passed a Shoshone COM
podia. Moccasin, another Shoshone,
met Bob and told him that the squaw
was then in camp, and advised him to
kill her. Bob dismounted from his horse,
which Moccasin held, and, finding the
squaw, beat her to death with stones, and
then burned her body. The squaw had
borne bad character, having two half
breed children, and it may be that this
fact in some measure justified, in the
Indians mind, the killing, for to their
credit, be it said, before the advent of
the white man the Indians were chaste,
furnishing, even to death, all lapses from
virtue. Sheriff Emery, when these facts
came to his knowledge, arrested Bob and
confined him in the county jail. But as
the proof of the killing rests entirely upon
Indian testimony, which is not admissible
under the law, Bob was yesterday set
at liberty. The Indians generally think
that he has done wrong-R6eS8 RiUer

A Model Boy.

The following description of what a
boy ought to be is extracted from work
by Lady Barker, the London phi
lanthropist: elf I could make a
model boy, I'll tell you what he should
be like. He should love cold water and
hate lie. He should be frank and I'M
suspicious, as becomes a noble, trusting
nature, and yethe should be neither silly
nor soft. He should have plenty of
manias. He should have an appetite
like a wolf, for I should wish him to be
tall and strong; but he must not be bit
greedy. He should not be ashamed of
loving and reverencing all that is good
and holy and pure, but with nothing of
the mollycoddle about him. He should
have fine, sweet temper, yet he should
be, as the Yankee song says, An okered
man in a row, and he should know how
to take care of himself with his fists. "

We have taught our dog to go into
the corner when commanded in the fol-
lowing way By attracting her atten-
ton to piece of meat held rather out
Of reach, and gradually enticing her
toward the corner, then talking to her
all the time and instructing her how TO
stand, frequently repeating the word we
wish her to particularly notice, viz:
corner" After standing a second or
two we give her the meat, lengthening
the time of standing between each lesson.
Now, when we point to the place and
say corner" we find she walks in of
her own accord, and of course is re
warded after Another of her tricks is
waltzing. This is done by holding a
piece Of meat high, and moving it in
circle, saying g waltz, and gently scold-
ing when she jumps. She stands up
and walks, or rather runs, upon her
hind legs, exactly as we move the meat.
Now she will do it without meat when
we say waltz. Another trick is Jump
ing over, through and under. the
back Of cane-bottomed chair.
This we taught her by holding
a piece of meat and standing some way
then, showing her by pointing what we
required her to do, we said over, and
she of course jumps over for the meat;
the same through the bar and
"under." Of course she tried at first to
do everything in the manner easiest to
herself, but by practice she soon found
it was no use. Another trick: we ar
range the chairs in a semi-circle round
the room, and make her run over them
upon the seats; this was done by entic-
ing her from one chair to another. Now
we allow some distance between each
chair, and she runs round as quickly as
possible, and stands up upon the last
one, waiting for her tit-bit. A dog of
ordinary sagacity can be taught almost
anything by kindness and perseverance;
but if you lose your temper, or are inn
patient they are ruined, becoming either
stubborn or nervous. The great thing
is to talk to dogs, and encourage them,
and make companions Of them.

"She doesn't know how to pronounce

Next she met cart-wheel rolling down
a hill all by itself.
Such fun" it said, as it went by
g I've run away from the little boy that
was trundling me. -
ooh, that's the way to be happy, is
it," cried the Princess, and she lay down
and rolled. But she didn't get much
fun out of her rolling she only scratched
and bruised herself.
"Ah, THAT'S because hadn't any one
to tronble me, she said, when she got
up at the bottom of the hill.
AS she went up the hill once more, she
met the little boy who had been tr1ln-
ding the wheel
"Ah, little boy she said, GIVE met
your wheel. 1t has had such fun. It
went right splash into the pond down
there, and is swimming about looking so
comfortable. Please trundle me-"
The little boy was very angry at hav-
ing lost his wheel, and SO behaved very
rudely.
"Trundle ye. I'll trounce ye, you
young hussy,'' he cried He was
little coward, Of course, or else he
wouldn't have talked about trouhcing a
little girl.
"I'm not little hussy-I'm little
princess, D Princess Wingcarribee indig-
nantly rejoined.
You princess with your clothes
all in rags and your face all in scratches"
said the little boy and he trotted down
the hill, painting after his truant wheel.
He stopped, when he had got little way
down, to shout back
You say you're a princess. Have
you got mother that is queen, and
if you have, does she know you're
out?" e-.....
"No, she doesn't" answered Princess
Wingcarribee-"i if she did, and heard
you talking like that, she'd box your
ears, you rude little boy'
"Then go back to her, and make your
self happy p shouted the little boy.
"Why, that sounds like sense, said
the Princess to herself.
And she went back to the hollow tree,
and got, as she deserved to get, good
scolding from the Queen, who was MAX

TAKE CARE OF Your EYES. The way
people abuse their eyes is amazing.
They try them, strain them, and overtax
them in all manner of ways. And when
their eyes begin to weaken with i'll
usage and age, they are too proud to
give them the aid of glasses which they
crave. Furrowed cheeks, sallow COM
plexions, and white hair can be hidden
under enamel and rouge and dyes but
there is no fashionable nostrum that
can cover up weakness of eyes. Spec
tacles proclaim the defect which they
mitigate, and are looked upon by those
whose minds are as weak as their eyes,
as badge Of infrmity and sooner
than saddle their noses with them, they
saddle their lives with semi blindness.

So thought the occupants of aBoston
horse car, who listened to the story of 81
miscellaneous young lad, who was telling
an old gentleman why he liked the new
master of one of our schools. The mas
ter, he said, was tirst-rate fellow, and
he had dismissed the scholars
twice lately at 8: 80 o'clock in the morn
ing. " Why, what did he DO that for?"
asked the elderly gentleman. After the
youth had had good laugh he managed
to explain that one of the boys had put
piece Of ice under the thermometer, and
sent the mercury down to forty, and the
master thought the room was not warm
enough for the pupils to remain in. And
the way the old gentleman laughed and
shook told plainly enough that he had
once been one of that kind Of boys.
