A Steam Horse.

An ingenious Californian has invented
n now method OF employing steam as the
motive power Of street cars. The task
which he proposed to himself in max
ing this invention was simple one, in.
Rsmuch as he did not intend to do away
with railway trucks nor to change the
pattern OF tho street cars now in use.
What he tried to do was to devise To-
comotivo which would not frighten
horses, md he fancies that he has fully
accomplished his purpose by building n
locomotive in what ho regards rs the
likeness Of horse.
The new steam horse resembles the
ordinary style OF animal so far M its
head and shoulders Nre concerned.
There, however, it's resemblance abruptly
ends. The iron animal is devoid of legs,
for which Nre substituted wheels, just
visible Mt tho foot Of an iron petticoat.
Where the hind quarters Of Il well con.
structed horse oughtto be, the inventive
Californian has placed q cab, reminding
one by its appearance Of sedan chair.
Tho steam horse il harnossed with n COW
catcher, headlight, And bell, but be.
ing built with immovablc ears, and no
tail whatever, it is unable to express its
emotions except hythe uneQuine process
OF whistling.

Somebody who knows gives this pic
turc OF boarding house: When n now
boardcr comes into the house, be it a
gentleman or lady, that person is regard
ed with great suspicion, and for few
days, ut any rate, all the old boarders
keep close together, get uncommonly
intimate, and conspire, by rude staring
and stage whispering, TO make the now
conner rs uncomfortable rs possible.
The landlady introdUrcs her new guest
to all the others on the first opportunity,
taking occasion to accompany each in:
PRODUCTION with briet biography OF
the person introduced. This she
often supplements afterwards with
mysterious hints "a 10 the family
connections and business prospects Of
her guests, which leaves the stranger in
moro uncomfortable condition than
ever, until by compauionship and that
close intimacy which is the most OBJ
jectionable feature Of boarding house
life, ho gets to know everybody's bust
ness and everybody gets to know his,
and mutual regard or mutual contempt

IdIOcy iu the United States.

The number of idiots in the United
States, according to tho census OF 1870,
was "a, ,527, OF whom Ass were males
and 10, Oi2 females; 3,lSS were colorcd,
and ! ,645 foreign born. But the number
and their proportion to tho population
cannot be ascGrtaincd with any satisiac-
tory degree OF accuracy. The census
statistics are Enthusiastically, both from
the different standards adopted by
cnumerators, and from tho difficulty in
persuading parents, from whom the re-
turns aro usually obtained, that their
children are idiots. Some OF the worst
cases in idiot Asylums were brought
there by their friends, not rs idiots, but
MS being little peculiar in their habits:
The effort has been made in several
States to obtain returns from physicians,
clcrgymen and town officers, but with
yery moderate success. So fur rs these
returns go, however, they show much
greater prevalence Of idiocy than has
been commonly supposed; and it is how
generally conceded by competent Judges
that the number OF iiiots is greater than
that OF the deaf and dumb or the blind,
and as great as that Of tho insane, the
proportion being not less than one III
900 OF tho population. Assuming this
ratio, the number OF idiots i'll the Uni
ted States would he more than $4,000.

Santa Claus Appears.

The Louisville Comicr-JournnL tells
this touching littlo Christmas story ::
Two little twin girls living on Confer
street, wan with hunger and suffering
with tho cold and damp of dreary, dis
NAL day, begged their mother for bread.
Tho poor mother looked sorrowiully
upon her little darlings and told them
there was not n morsel in the house, not
even so much as crust OF bread. But
she told them that il the rGgmun would
come she would sell "the bag Of rugs" I"
and TINT would buy them something to
eat. Encouraged with this conditional
promise, the little girls ceased crying
and said they would watch for the rag
man. Accordingly they went ont doors
and sat for IN hour upon the cold stops
watching for the little wagon which chill
dren know 80 well. The little girls were
Just large enough TO go to Sunday
school, and had learned q few verses OF
some songs, which they sang together,
rs they sat in the cold, until finally tho
wagon md the man who cries out !:
" Rags-ole iarn," came in sight, when
they rnn to their mother and repeated
the fact with us much Joy in their counte-
uAnces Ns though q fortune had dropped
down into their midst. The mother sold
tho rngs and the little family Ind com.

Propagation Of Disease.

There are few more mysterious travel.
crs than tunes und Diseases 4 new
tlne comes out, and six weeks later it
may be heard whlstled by boys III SOM"
obscure and distant village, to which it
has found its way in some manner best
known to itself. 1t is the slme with dis
eases, which creep over the country
silently, swiftly and surely, although
their means Of transit battle the skill Of
the most intelligent members of the
medical profession to divine. \ new
theory has now been started, that the
fool-and.mOuth disease, which is 80
prevalent among cattle, is conveyed from
ono district to another, notwithstanding
all the precautions taken against its
spread, by birds. A wood pigeon has,
according to the Elgin Courant, been
lately shot near Elgin which has been
declared by veterinary surgeons mud
competent medical authorities to have
been evidently affected by f0ot-and-
mouth disease at the time Of its death.
Tue body OF the unfortunate bird has,
it is stated, been sent to III hospital, and
may throw new light on the subject.
Another disagrecIblo notion has also
arisen thnt soap IL m active ngent in the
propagation OF disease. The New York
physicians have arrived atthe conclusion
that terrible amount Of illness is oc-
casioned by the impurities contained in
soap, especially in scented soap.

A New Swinillc.

4 now swindlc, extensively practiccd
through the country, is the sale OF nj
most worthless dry goods by trickery.
A peddler calls upon a farmer and shows
. large bundle OF assorted cloth, and
represents himself rs the agent OF n
bankrupt firm in England. He says
that, under II special provision Of the
revenue laws, remnants in packages Of
not less worth than $3.50 each mny bo
imported free Of duty, thus saving
about seventy per cent. The purchaser

During the recent heavy foods that
hid under water m area Of land III
Somersotshire, England, twenty miles
across, tho rats were driven from
their haunts in vast numbers. Some Of
them found refuge on the trees and
others took possession Of deserted
houses. One instance is recorded where
n laborer had occasion to visit his cot
tage to rescue some property leit pe-
hind. He moored his boat to tho cham
Der window, and was Abont to enter,
when he found the room filled with q
swarm OF rats, which were so ravenous
with hunger that they were like Hpaek OF
wolves. Their savage demonstrations
compelled tho man to beat a hasty re-
treat to save himself from being eaten
alive,
