Arsenic in Candles.

A very curious case of arsenic poi
soning has just occurred in Paris. A
rich lady residing in the Faubourg st..
Honore found herself growing ill, and
the doctor pronounced her to be suf-
fering from some slow poison. Nine.
x. rejected the idea as absurd, but, on
rising one morning, found glass of
water, which was usually placed by
her bedside,to be discolored by a white
tilmy powder. On showing this to the
doctor, he at once declared it to be ar
senic. All inquiries failed to detect
the culprit, and the next night mad
anne filled the glass herself, and kept
careful watch that no one meddlod
with it. Nevertheless, in the morn.
ing the white powder again made it's
appearance, and the doctor was fairly
at his wits ends to ascertain the cause.

He called Sunday night, as had been
his custom for several weeks. After
they got together alone in the parlor
he plucked up courage to the proper
point and proposed to her, telling her
OF the days when every thought was

''Dearest, will you be mine -
And she said:
II will.''
Then he caught her in his arms.
and pressed her dropping face close to
his yearning breast.

''My darling" he started to whisper.

head flew up so suddenly as to catch
him under the chin with sufficient
force to almost anputate his tongue.

''Smell - he repeated, while his

The Employment OF Time.

The foundation of all economy Is a
wise disposition of time. Let that be
acquired and true economy in every.
thing else will infallibly and speedily
follow and the most difficult step
toward acquiring it is real and wise
economy of time. Economy has, in
fact, got very bad character with the
great majority of people because it is
confounded with stinginess ; though,
in fact. they are so far from being
connected that stinginess is a very
deadly enemy to real economy, while
liberality and generosity must be con-
fined to words and wishes where econ
omy is not served.
Still some persons imagine that if
they play the niggard with every cent
and every article of which they can
once obtain possession they are good
economists. A more wretched and
complete mistake cannot be made.
Economy is the right employment of
money and means, not the boarding
or burying of them. To save is very
laudable and desirable, but it is no
saving to lay up certain pieces of coin
while we shiver for the want of fuel
or faint for want of the food which
those pieces of coin would purchase :;
to do SO is to save the coin, indeed,
but it is to save it at the expense of
that health and that duration of life
which no amount Of money can pur-
chase or compensate for.

Going Into Winter Quarters.

There is scarcely any time during
the seasons when dairy stock requires
more special care and attention than
now, as the herds go into winter
quarters. It is the habit Of a large
majority of dairy farmers in New York,
as well as in some other States, to
keep up the milking through Decem-
Der, OF course some of the animals
will cease to yield milk during Novem-
ber. and very poor cows, perhaps, earli-
er. But the best cows, for the most
part, will not 60 completely dry until
the first of January.
AS cold weather approaches, COWS in
milk ought not to be left exposed to
storms. They are very sensitive to
cold at this season Of the year, and if
left exposed to rains and to storms of
sleet and snow, they not unfrequent-
" contract disease, which, with the
drain of milk, reduces flesh and seri-
ously impairs their usefulness another
season. We have seen animals in
good health utterly ruined Ivy days
exposure to cold and drenching rains.
On the approach of storms, the cattle
should be Immediately housed, and
care should be taken that the animals
on the outer edge of the stable should
be kept from cold drafts Of winds.
Another point of very great import.
ance at this season is generous feeding.
1t is the custom with some to use up
all the the coarse and inferior fodder
at the commencement of cold weather.
This is great mistake, as the best
food should be given when the ami"
mails first go into winter quarters.
After they have been dried of their
milk and later in the season, the poor
er food should be used, and as ami.
mails, like persons, enjoy variety in
their diet, the coarse and less nutri.
tious fodden can, by judicious feeding
from time to time, be used up to the
best advanetagd. But if the mows
have been topped off with late ends OF
meadows and with the poorest fodder
grown on the farm, then it may be
necessary to feed the first. In such
cases the animals should have an ad.
ditional ration of ground grain.bran
or ship.stuffs to make up the deficiency

An old man of eighty-five got lost in
4 tunnel of the metropolitan railway
in London the other day. He was
found by pointsman in the middle of
the tunnel in the evening, wet to the
skin from being saturated with the
water from the tunnel walls. On get
tirg out of train at Kings Cross
Station he had taken the wrong di-
rection. AS he wandered along, find
ing there were trains running back
ward and forward, he became bewil-
dered, but for safety crouched close to
the wall of the tunnel, and frequently
had the greatest difficulty in escaping,
as he felt many of the trains touch
him as they went past. Feeling, how
ever, that his end was certain he
prayed and sang to allay his fears. At
the intervals when there was no train
coming he groped his way along, until
he saw man with a lantern and has
tened toward him.

FARM AND GRANGE.
Do Horses Reason.

Here is a good story about horse.
which Is told in the Boston Journal.
and we presume many of our readers
could tell as good a one if they would
only take the time to write it out for
publication. Such notes on animal in
stinct or reasoning powers are always
interesting to old and young:
It would be difficult to convince
some people that horses and dogs are
possessed of reasoning powers, and as
difficult to convince others, who fond
ly love these animals, that they are
unable to reason from cause to effect.
A story comes to US, well vouched for,
which will at least interest the reader,
if not convince him that horses are
possessed of more of the human at
tributes than many people are wont to
credit them with.
Among the many horses owned by
the Highland street railroad company,
is one which used to give the hostler's
a deal of trouble by slipping his hal
ter and roaming at will about the
stable. The halter was, on each occa.
sion, buckled on as tightly as possible,
but to no purpose, for the horse would
invariably be found half al hour af.
terwards making a dignified tour OF
the stable. This became monotonous
to the hostler, and he determined to
ascertain the modus operandi by which
his equine friend secured his liberty.
Again the halter was tightly buckled
on, and, taking seat where he could
watch his troublesome charge, he
awaited developments. Pretty soon a
horse which stood beside the trouble
some one was observed to poke his
head into his neighbours stall, and
catching the end of the halter strap
between his teeth, he pulled at it..
His first, second and third attempts to
unloose the buckle were unavailing,
but with a perseverance remarkable
even in man, the horse returned to
his work repeatedly, and finally out
dropped the buckle-tongue, the throat
strap fell, and the horse Of inquisitive
mind was soon stalking about the
stable again. A change of location
was of course necessity.
A large, homely, piebald geldlng,
owned by this company, used to mani
fest strange regard for a white mare
he formerly worked beside. In the
stable he was hitched with rope
halter, and until chain was substi-
tuted, he used to gnaw off his halter,
march deliberately to the stall occu-
pied Ivy his mate, and squeeze himself
into the stall, which was only large
enough to accommodate one horse COM
fortably, and a great deal of effort was
required to separate the equines after
they had become wedged in so closely.

Privateering is a game in which great
prizes are won. For example, in l745,
when the Scotch rebellion embarrassed
the English Government, the proprie-
tors of two privateers waited on King
George II, and offered So, 200, 900, their
share of prizes, as a loan to be imme-
diately employed in the royal service.
It was thankfully accepted. The sum
represented in purchasing power tre.
BILE what it would now, and the value
of the entire capture may be estimated
by the fact that. including the casks,
the treasure weighed 78 tons, l2 cwt,,
and was brought to London in forty
five wagons, and deposited in the Tow.

there was no excess. We didn't
see any sign of intoxication on the
ground. The utmost good humOr
and good behavior prevailed. The
children were very remarkable for
their excellent conduct during the
whole day. There were 80 per-
sons, old and young, on that ex-
cursion, and plenty of wines and
liquors were on hand, and yet we
did not hear or see an unkind
word on an unpleasant look. We
are glad to record this, in testi-
mony of the civilization of the
people of Yuma. Colonel Fl. G.
Hodge, being called upon, made
an excellent and appropriate ad-
dress.
About o'clock P. NJ. the party
re-embarked and had a most
pleasant trip up the river to Yu-
ma, enlivened, as was the down
trip with music, song and dance.
Thus ended one one of the most
enjoyable May day festivities ever
held in any country. There was
no accident to mar the general
enjoyment, and this, too, in this
country, which is considered the
far off con fines of civilization.
The Marshal, Judge H. N. Alex
ander, was on hand during the
day with his very active Deputy,
F. G. Mills ard his young men as
sistants, who did great service in
taking care of the little ones.
There was an interesting and
novel scene on the bow of the
steamer. Mr.. Conner, the engin-
eer, had rugged on the revolving
capstan, a pretty figure which he
called his MAY Queen" with
flags on either side, and he made
that capstan revolve on the whole
trip, creating great amusement
for the children. In conclusion
we must say that the friends of
the public school are under great
obligations to the c.. S. N. Co. for
their liberality and kindness in
the use of their fine steamer for
the occasion.
