Emco,s,.ter ,rith am Octopms.

Mr.. Thomas Beale, who was the sur |
geon Of a South Sea whaling ship, and
who afterward printed Z" History of
the Sperm Whale" gives an interesting
account of his encounter while on the
BONN Islands, with q small octopus
which had been washed ashore and left
by the receding tide. 1t seemed fright
ened at first, and endeavored to escape,
and in trying to detain it he pressed on
one of its legs with his foot. He con-
tinues "But, although made use of
considerable force for that purpose, it's
strength was 80 great that it several
times quickly liberated it's member in
spite of all the efforts / could employ in
this way on wet, slippery rocks. now
laid hold of one it's tentacles with my
hand, and held it firmly, so that the
limb appeared as if it would be torn
asunder by our united strength. soon
gave it powerful jerk, wishing to dis
| engage it from the rocks to which it
clung so forcibly by its suckers, which it
! effectually resisted but the moment
after, the apparently enraged animal
lifted its head, with its large eyes pro-
jecting from the middle of its body, and
letting go its hold on the rocks sprang
upon my arm, which L had previously
barred to the shoulder, and clung with its
suckers to it with great power, endeavor-
ing to get its beak, which 1 could now
see between the roots of its arms, in
position to bite A sensation of horror
this monstrous animal had affixed itself
firmly to my arm. It's cold, shiny grasp
was extremely sickening, and imme-
dately called aloud to the captain, who
was searching for shells at some distance,
to come and release me from my dis.
gusting assailant. He quickly arrived,
and taking me down to the boat, during
which was employed in keeping the
beak away from my hand, quickly re.
leased me by destroying my tormentor
with boat-kuife, when L disengaged it
by portions at time. This animal
must have measured across its extended
arms about four feet, while its body was
not larger than large clenched hand.
This little fellow, which it took two men
to destroy, when he was out Of his native
element, was hardly one-tenth the size
of the one in New York"
The octopus has another means OF
self-protection, which, though never
failing in the water, is useless when
he happens to be stranded on the
shore. He is provided with remarka
BILE organ, commonly called his "inA
bag" which is filled with dense fluid
When frightened or disturbed he dis
charges this in such quantities as to dis
Scolor the water for considerable space
above and around him, and under cover
of its inky darkness he propels himself
swiftly from the place of danger.

An abstract from a paper read before
the French Academy of Science gives
the result of numerous experiments
made by exposing milk to different tenn
peratures ranging from 80 deg. Fair. to
100 deg. Fahr. The following facts were
elected
l. The rise of cream is more rapid Us
the temperature to which the milk is ex-
posed approaches 32 deg.
2. The volume of cream is greater
when the milk has been efficiently
cooled.
3. The yield OF butter is also greater
when the milk has been exposed to a
very low temperature.
4. Finally, the SKINNED milk, the
butter, and the cheese are of better
quality when prepared under the above
circumstances.
While it is impossible to offer salts
factory explanation as to the reason why
artificial cold should produce beneficial
effect upon the yield and quality of pro-
ducts derived from the milk, it is prob
able that it may tend to arrest that
Preventative decomposition which is 80
prone to set in with organic fluids, and
thus, by preventing incipient alteration,
indirectly TO improve the quality OF the
material.
The practice of warming the dairy in
the winter time so as TO maintain its at.

Retorts of Maniocs.

There are many instances OH record,
says writer, where the keen wit of
maniacs has discomfted sane friends.
Your true maniac may lack sound sense,
but he rarely wants in versatile wit.
"What brought you hereg" asked a
pert visitor. "What will never bring
you-too much brain" Well, this
causes one-third of the cases of the
lergest asylum in America. Many in
mates possess culture and talent to an
eminent degree. Some of the most gifted
men 1 ever saw have spent a large slice
of their blasted lives within the gates of
despair. A distinguished professor
thought to puzzle maniac by the
query: How long, my good fellow,
can a man live without brains P' The
patient at once replied : CT don't know,
doctor, How old are you ?" A Mr..
Mann, startled at meeting lunatic
armed with q club, tried to soothe him
with pun: 81 am a double man one

joined: edo tell Why, L am man be-
side myself. We two will fight you two. -

H1nned for q Ret.

There are not wanting instances Of
persons who have hanged themselves, Or
suffered themselves to be hanged, from
motives of curiosity OF amusement. A
remarkable case Of this latter description
formed the subject some years ago of
one of those many curious Investigations
which have taken place from time to
time at Bow street.
On April 10, 1872, two men Were
charged before the magistrates under the
following curious circumstances A
constable who was passing along Hemp
stead road on the previous evening OBJ
served q stout man six feet high hanging
by his neck from n lamp-post attached to
wall, having been tied up and turned
off just before by a short man. The
officer rushed to the spot, and when he
arrived there the handkerchief by which
the tall man was suspended gave way,
and he fell to the ground. His eyes were
protruding from their sockets, and he
was nearly "gone )" but. on recovering
himself sufficiently to stagger ON his
legs, he Immediately struck the officer so
violent blow on the nose as nearly to
knock him down. Both men We're with
difficulty secured, when they explained
that the tall man who was being hanged
was simply paying "debt of honor"
The two had been "tossing" in the
afternoon, first for money, then for
clothes the tall man having won the
others jacket, trousers and shoes, they
agreed to toss up which should hang the
other The short man won the toss, and
forthwith proceeded to hang the tall man
on the lamp-post. The tall man urged
that had he won the toss he would in like
manner have assuredly hanged the short
man but the magistrates, expressing
their horror and disgust at the whole
story, sentenced both prisoners To find
bail for their good behavior. Not hav-
ing bail they were committed TO Bride

A RaiL,UGy Hen.

The Shelbyville (Tenn.) Gazette is
responsible for this hen story A hen
made a nest in box in a baggage car,
and in the course of time had fifteen
eggs, and stuck to them through thick
and thin, night and day, except to step
of the train occasionally, while it waited,
TO get food, and at last Matched thirteen
chickens, Notwithstanding the rumbling,
rolling process the eggs passed through.
Mr.. Shiver baggage MASTERY says that
after the setting process began, she
would frequently, when off the nest in
search of food and water, get left by the
train at Shelbyville, and sometimes at
Watrace and ON such occasions she
would quietly wait for the train to re-
turn, and sometimes meet it as it came
in sight, and fly into the baggage car
and get ON to the nest Immediately.
When the train stopped for wood she
would sometimes fly out to get some
thing TO eat, and when the car-bell rang,
she would fly back Immediately. She
would sometimes manifest her Joy when
the train appeared by cackling at a high
rate. Mother and chickens are doing

Celestial I Enjoyment.

After the labor of the day is over, the
weary Chinaman in San Francisco be-
takes himself to the club-room, theater
or opium-den for an evenings enjoyment.
The club-rooms are filled nightly. The
Chinaman is m inveterate gambler.
With him it is one of the necessities Of
life. He will stint his stomach to save
few cents to crafty his Unsuitable de-
sire to win or lose. He does not seem
to care what the game is. 1t is said in
many places in China it is no unusual
sight to see rich merchants carrying large
beetles and grasshoppers in the large
sleeves of their coats. A certain mark
is placed on each insect. A saucer il
produced, and two of the beetles are
placed in it to fight battle. The respec-
tive owners make their bets, and the
battle goes ON until one or the other ol
the insects is killed. The same things
are done with tame quails, which ar,
bred and tanned in the same manner as
game cocks. Since the effectual raids

upon all who are arrested for playing

doned. The game which is now univer
sally played is " "domiLoes. The China
men have been raided so much during
the past year that the appearance of {

it requires the assurance of the Office
that everything is "all right to quie

Interestimq 10 Tea Drinhers.

A writer in an exchange has the fol-
lowing to say about tea The nose is one
of the best judges for Distinguishing
good tea, and how to prepare tea prop
erly art teaches us. To obtain beverage
very aromatic and only in a small degree
astringent you must infuse the tea for
half an hour in very small quantity Of
cold water, and then add the boiling
water, pouring the tea, before it is very
brown, into the cup. The cold water
saturates the whole texture of the leaves
and produces the same advantages as
when we wish to obtain good broth from
butchers meat, and the boiling water
separates the tannin from the caffeine,
which is precipitated when the infusion
begins to grow cold. In effect, il you
take tea in the Russian fashion, in a
drinking glass, you will see the tea grow
turbid almost as soon as it is poured
out 1 think it is wise to take only the
first infusion, which contains from four
to six times as much useful substance as
the second. This last has the incon-
venience of being only in very small
degree aromatic and i'll a high degree
astringent. The addition of few drops
Of lemon juice, or of any other vegetable
acid, renders tea more exciting; and this
custom prevails among poor Chinese and
many Russians. The addition of an
alkali, on the contrary, makes tea Less
stimulating and in some measure mar.
cotical. In Chinese Tartary, in Cash
mere, and in other countries of Asia,
the leaves of tea are eaten, cooked il
various modes with butter, -four and
soda, and the richness of the leaves il
albumine explains their nutritive power
It is said in the travels of Hue, CADET
Auchterlony and others, that good
soup of tea is one OF the best ailments
for those about to undertake fatiguins
Journeys i'll lofty mountains. Tea ex
cites the movements of tile heart les
than coffee, is less hostile to sleep, ant
is less fit to sustain intellectual labor
but more than coffee it increases tn
eliminative activity of the skin AM
respiration. In many persons it pro
duces an astringent effect on the intes
tine and troublesome constipation
More than everything, experience avail
eth to indicate to any one whether, froI
the state of his nerves, his brain or hi
digestion, he ought to prefer tea c
coffee. In every fashion it seems to b
proved that after dinner the Chinese lei
ought to be preferred to the Abyssinia
berry. In very cold countries and c
very cold days, and consequently vii
supreme reason in the Arctic zone, tt
is the best of drinks, as all travele
have demonstrated. DIR. Kane did III
hesitate to call tea the "great panac'
of A. cite teave'." The excessive use
tea, especially green tea, produces o.
stinate wakefulness, nervous trembling
, convulsions, cramps of the stomach, pa
pitations of the heart and SO on.
