A CURIOUS instance of physiological
change wrought by eating a peculiar
sort of food exclusively is what happened
10 the castaways of the StrathmOre upon
enc of the rocks of the Twelve Apostles,
where that vessel was wrecked on July
last year. There they found nothing to
eat but penguin's eggs, which soon made
them plump and happy. The remarka-
bic thing was. however, that the skins
oven of those who had been dark before
became fair, and their hair all turned
light, even the eyebrows, the change be-
ing attributed to Sheir diet. On this
same island all the birds were white,
even to the crows. The rock of the
Twelve Apostles, in the Crozet group,
would be a good place for negroes who
wish to become white, if there are any
such; or it might pay to form a company
and import penguin's eggs for use when
the mania for blondines shall set in
again. The wrecked crew Ofthe Strath-

The vino OF SOuk.

The poets have created impressions
concerning wines which are not easily
effaced. The picturesque idea of mai
dens of "milk-white ankles FLASHED with
rec" engaged In the wine pressing OF
the East is, however, dispelled at the
realistic sight ofa couple Of hairy-leg-
ged, perspiring AlbaniaDs tramping
down the grapes in a rude vat. The
wine which Hafiz sang probably owes
most of its virtue to his poetic fancy
but everything is relative. The red
wine of Shiraz which he extolled was
undoubtedly the best he ever knew, and
he bottled 1t in enduring rhyme for pos
terity; the wine no longer exists, but
the marvellous bottle remains to attest
to the poetical imagery of the Persian
singer. The wine which Homer sang
was probably a sweet one from the de-
ecriptive words applied to it, of murky
body and a dark color, and possibly
contained an infusion of pOppies. The
masters of the Tyre gave to the Falernian
wine its reputation, especially Horace.
Their testimony as to superior quail
ties must be doubted when it is remem
bered that these Romans were in the
habit of putting sea water into their
wine to improve it, to say nothing of
other ingredients. The Lachrym2
Christi, OF Naples, is said TO be the lin
cal descendant of the Falernian Of HOr-
ace by some who have made researches
in this direction. The ''Tears OF Christ y
better known by reputation than by
taste.is product of the volcanic soils OF
Vesuvius, the best kind being grown AT
Galitta. The name appeals strongly to
the Imagination, but the virtue of the
wine hardly equals Its reputation. Pill
grims and devout people created the
vogue which once existed foI this wine,
and doubtless when they drank !,
thought that If they had not found II
perfect they would have been lacking
IN reverence. In q word, taste had to
be reconciled with religious obligations

the large proprietors of vineyards.
On the left bank of the Rhine the sig
mails for commencing and ending the
days labor is given by the firing of
guns; on the right, by ringing the
church bells. OF the ancient winners
festivsl-at which a young peasant,
astride on a cask, represented Bacehus,
and was surrounded by village maidens
dressed as Bacchantes-onlyt the memory
remains; modern refinement improves
all the poetry of the face Of the earth.
The Rhineland has in these latter days
been rather fortunate in its vintages; /;
those of 1857, 1855, 1850, 1861, 1862, 1865.
ETC., yielded such exquisite wines that
the connoisseurs were fairly puzzled to
which to award the palm. In former
centuries good vintage was reckoned
on only once in eleven years; the grea-
ter success which now attends the ef-
forts of the vine-grower may therefore
fairly be attributed tn improved methods
of cultivation.-London Ne,rs.

In the waiting room at one end Of
the depots in fiourishing Western city,
might have been seen recently two wo-
| men, one young and handsome, the 9TH
er old and ugly. Thu various trains
rushed in and out, the last passenger
train for some hours had departed, but
still they sat, these two women.
One remark led to another, until
they were chatting quite conidentially.
The young woman in turn became COM
municative, and said her lover was
coming on in the midnight train, and
that she was going with him to the next
station to be married. Whereupon the
old lady said she had had much expert
ence in the "marriage business" and
would give the young lady some advice,
and here IL what she said:
swell, child, never marry a railroad
er, for he is liable to be killed at any
time. Besides, he has such nice
chance to flirt.
"Never marry military man, for he
is liable to 60 to war and get shot. Be
sides his gorgeous clothes attract the
attention of the women.
'Never marry a hotel keeper. My
first husband was hotel keeper and
fell through the elevator opening and
broke his darned skull. 1t rifles me
when / think of that man.
"Never marry travelling man, for
he's always away from hum. Nobody
knows what these men are up TO when
they are away from hum.
"Never marry a steambOater. My
second husband was a steamboat cap
tain and got blowed into 4, ,OOO, 600 pieces,
blast him! always get terribly mad
when think of that man.
"Never marry dry goods man. Dyes
in cloths is so injurious. They never
live half their days.
"Never marry grocer. They have
such dirty hands. My third husband
was q grocer, and such hands as he'd
have was 'nuf to make body sick. He
was killed by a molasses barril fallin'
on him. When think of him I'm COM
pletely disguised.
"Never marry a carpenter. My fourth
husband was carpenter, and fell of
scaffold and was smashed to jelly.
May his soul sleep in peace.
"Never marry a machinist. My fifth
husband was a machinist. I'll never
forget the day he was brought home on
board. l didn't recognize him. A
belt had come off pully and hit him
plump in the face, and spread his nose
all over his countenance. I promised
him on his dyin' bed that I'd never
marry another machinist.
Just then the train rolled in, and the
old lady asked:
"Chi.d, what business is your lover
in?"
"Insurance business"
go, mercy you don't mean to marry
him. My sixth husband was an insur-
rance-n
But the young lady was gone to meet
her lover.

Death TO Friendshfp.

Many friendship has been broken
and destroyed by coldnesss Of manner
hard words are no competitors at all, for
they are so often satisfactorily explained
1t is frequently said that "like begets
like" and believe that Is often so. If
we meet with acquaintances who
grasps our hand cordially, and give it
a generous and hearty shake, and their
countenance lights up with a cheerful
smile as they utter pleasant and well
come salutation. IL we are feeling dull
and moody, we are, or at least should at
once be ashamed OF tnat feeling, and in
stantly put forth our energies to disguise
and Danish it. Ii, OH the contrary, we
meet with one who repels our very at
tempt TO be cordial by studied GOODNESS
Of manner, We very soon become i'm
pervious to any genial feeling for him,
and larger stock Of pride springs to
our aid than we ever dreamed our heart
possessed, and gulf Is then and there
formed over which passable bri'ige
can never be erected.

Drinking Fountains In Paris.

There are forty of the "FOntaines
Wallace in the city of Paris, and ten
more are to be erected, all at the cost
of the benevolent gentlemen whose
name they bear. There are also, it
may be worth noting. nearly 5000
cafes, or public houses, within the same
space. TO saw nothing of the 1S0 music
halls and $50 public bathrooms, where
''refreshments' of various degrees of
alcoholic power may be obtained at ex-
orbltant prices Taking the population
of Paris in round numbers &C 2,000. 900,
it will be seen that there Is one free
fountain to every 10000 persons, and
] one drinking shop to every so.

Pre-eminence Is sweet to those who
love 1t, even under mediocre circum-
stances; perhaps 1t is not quite myth
cal that slave has been proud to be
bought first; and probably barn-door

understood himself to be called the best
lot, may have a self-informed conscious
ness Of his relative importance and strut
oonsoled. But for complete enjoyment
the outward and inward must concur.

Sparkling and bright;
Up through the heaven the curiew is flying,
Soaring so high!
Sweetly his wild notes are ringing. and dying
Lost in the sky.
Glitter the SAIL to the south-wind eareening.
White-winged and brave;
BSwing to breeze and to hollow. and leaning
Low DER the wave.
Beautiful wind with the touch Of lover
Leading the hours,
Helping the winter-~oru world to recover
All its lost fovers-
Gladly hear thy warm whisper Of rapture.

Earth all her music snd bloom shall recapture,
Happy once more.

National TrOtting Assccia-
Ito n--DecisiOn Against
Goldsmith Maid.

CLEVELAND, May 5.-The board
of appeals of the National Trotting
Association heard yesterday all the
cases upon the docket that were rep
resented by the parties concerned or
their attorneys. The most impor-
tant case was that Of Goldsmith
Maid against the Southern Ohio
Fair association, which was decided
against the Maid, the board holding
that trotting for a purse for exhibit
ton of speed does not constitute a
race. The application of the Jack
son Mich Tlotting club for an or
der against the pulling of such
horses as have been declared "not to
win" was denied; the board holding
that the spirit was well as the letter
Of the rules was against the jackson
club, and that the racing law re-
quires the best horse to win. The
board will probably finish it's bust
ness to-day.

THE TWEED TRAIL.
Narrow Escape Of the boss
from Capture.

New York, May S.-The Herald
has letter from Midland Georgian
bay, Canada, stating that Boss
Tweed and two companions spent the
winter on Muskoka river, thirty
miles from Midland and 100 miles
from Toronto. Itappears that Tweed
and two men loaded a small steamer
last November, just before the close
OF navigation, with great quantity
OF provisions, and went to Parks
Mill, which has not been running.
Tweed and his companions lived in
the cottage all winter, the s'Bossn
keeping dumb, and it being given
out that he had received a Laralytic
shock. On the oath of April the
steamer that took them up last fall,
arrived there again with provisions
on board, but did not leave fora few
days. On Friday, the 2Sth, two de-
tectives left Midland, went to Parks
mill, reaching there Saturday. On
being discovered, the whole of Tweed
party fed on board the steamer by
small boats, the one on which the
Boss embarked being sunk by ice
he getting ducking. Their escape
in the boats was couered by some
four men on the steamer with revol-
vers, and shots were exchanged with
the detectives, who were on the deck
The steamer escaped with Tweed to
Georgian bay, the detectives being
unable to follow. They expect soon
to capture him.
