FEEDING THE ANIMALS AT THE Zoo.-The
feeding of the animals in a menagerie is
always carefully done, because their lives
depend upon the adaptability of their food.
The daintiest eaters in the Geological Gar
den, Fairmount Park, are two chimpanzees.
They breakfast on weak tea, with plenty
of milk and sugar, and bread thickly spread
with honey. They lunch at 10 on bananas
and oranges, dine at on rice and tapioca,
served with sugar and sherry, and sup at I
on rice and milk. The seals are less trou-
blesome to feed, but more expensive, for
FIVE of them eat daily so pounds of fresh
fish. Formerly the lions, tigers, and other
carnivora were costly, but of late have been
fed on horse meat, which is very cheap.
The rhinoceros is the greediest of the lot
but it is quantity he Graves, without much
regard to quality. lie will eat $50 pounds
of hay every day and a bushel of potatoes
is to him like plate of strawberries to 6
hungry man. His food costs $40 a week
which is as much as that of an elephant
The giraffe has to be fed carefully, because
he has no regard for his long, narrow
throat, and starts one mouthful down be
fore the one before it has reached hi
stomach, thus choking himself. Common
monkeys eat nearly everything that j
offered so do the ostriches and cassowa
ries, but some of the insectivorous have t,
be patiently catered to. The moose is tn,
hardest to please, and misses the twigs o
his native woods.

Misuse of Money.

Wilmington with its advantages for commerce and
its great shipyards and manufactures is put off with
$1,000 while at the little inland town of Dover, where
$1,000 to $4,000 would have bought as good house
for pOstoice as the good people of that town de-
sired the government is completing pOstoce build
ing at a cost of $4,000. Had the latter sum been
pended in stone ice pier and brdgeway to it at the
mouth of the Christiana where the government has
light house and wharf, something beneficial might
have resulted to commerce and to the convenience OF
all the people living the Delaware river who wish
ed to come to or go from Wilmington. The wisdom
that directs permits such monstrous folly in ex
pendtures is worthy of more severe condemnation
than it gets Yet while this waste proceeds little
Delaware has to pay her million dollars yearly to the
| U. S. treasury.-DedtCdrc Gazette.

TRUE AS PREACHING.-A thoughtful writer
expresses the judgment that riches are
oftener an impediment than a stimulus of
action; and in many cases they are quite
as much q misfortune as a blessing. The
youth who inherits wealth is apt to have
life made too easy for him, and so grows
sated with it because he has nothing left
to desire. Having no special object to
struggle for, he finds time too heavy on his
hands; he remains mentally and morally
asleep; and his position in society is often
no higher than that Of polypus over which
the tide floats.
We see the truth of these ideas illustrated
in the lives of young men all about US.
| The advantage of wealth nationally applied,
is not to be decried; but we think the
power of money is rather over estimated.
1t too often makes fools, idlers and profit
gates. The greatest things which have
been bone for the world have not been ac-
complished by rich men, or by subscription
lists, but by men generally of small pecu
mary means. The greatest thinkers, dis
coverers, inventors, and artists have been
men of moderate wealth, many of them
little raised above the condition of manual
laborers in point Of worldly circumstances
And it will always be so.
And it is too often the case that father
has denied himself common comforts il
order to accumulate money to ruin hi
children. To make men and women o
our boys and girls they must be so trained
as to learn the true value of economy, labo
and ipline.- YonkerS Statesman.

Ex-Secretary Boutwell, is doing good
service in Maine. When discussing the
financial question, in his speeches for the
Republican ticket, he allows any one in the
audience to ask him questions. A green.
hacker improved this opportunity at Sac
carappa the other day, and learned q good
deal more than he ever knew before Mr..
Boutwell, asked what the greenbacks, which
their advocates demand, should be redeem
ed in. The Greenbacker said, Redeem
them like gold and silver" (Which is not
at ALL" responded Mr.. Boutwell,. ain no
place on this earth is man bound to re.
deem gold or a silver dollar. They repre-.
sent their own value" Then the Green.
hacker asked to be told the difference
between a gold and paper dollar, and he
was silenced permanently by this answer
"Gold and silver are money because they
have money in them and there is a limit tC
the supply, and to the labor it costs tC
produce them. With the 100000 printing
presses in the country there is no limit t.
the supply of paper currency. The effec
of such an increase of currency will worl
on no class as bad as the poor man. Tn,
rich men will invest their money CAREFUL,
and not keep it, but the laborer's wage
will grow less and less. Labor advance
last and falls first. No more fraudulen
scheme to rob the poor man can be though

Knocked Down and Robbed.

Last Sunday night 18th inst. as Mr.. oliver Downs,
who for several years has been foreman on the Aims
hose farm, returning home from of the neigh
bors, he was stopped by an unknown party who de-
manded his money Mr.. Downs immediatly struck

turn he struck from behind by one else and

STARTING WRoNG.-A writer in the New
York Times says that the great curse of
the workingmen in this country and in
Great Britain is their uncomfortable ap-
petite for drink. The greater part of their
poverty in ordinary times comes from in
diligence in this habit. If they would
only save what they spend for liquor, they
would not have such to complain. 1t has
been ascertained recently that the wages
of the English laboring class amounts an.
nually to about 81 $l,50O,0O0,OO0, of which, it
is said, they might put by one-half. They
do not put by much over one-eighth Of
this sum, but they squander yearly about
$55,O00,0O0 for drink.

WAIT.-Wait husband before you wonder
audibly why your wife don't get along
with the household responsibilities as your
mother did. She is doing her best and no
woman can endure that best to be sighted
Remember the long, weary nights she sat
upwith the little babe that died remember
the love and care she bestowed upon you
when you had that long fit of illness. Do
you think she is made of iron Wait, wait
in silence and forbearance, and light will
come back to her eyes, the old light of the
old days.
Wait wife before you speak reproach-
fully to your husband when he comes home
late, and weary and "out of Sorts" He
has worked hard all day, perhaps far into
the night he has wrestled hand in hand
with care and selfshness, and greed, and
all the demons that follow the train o
money making. Let home be another at
mosphere entirely. Let him feel that there
is no other place in the world where he
can find peace, and perfect love,

On the 10th of September last, Mr.. B. S.
Erwin, of Townsend, Ohio, shot and killed
flying pigeon, in the crop of which, when
cut open, he found three kernels of wheat
These kernels he planted the next day,
September 20, and two of the grains came
up. A short time since they were harvested
One of the stools bore 72 stalks with heads
more or less we'll filled with wheat; the
other bore so stalks, also headed out and
the heads filled. But the most marvelou:
thing about the entire growth was the fact
that every head contained two varities o.
wheat, white and red.

Fernando Woods son Calhoun has be-.
come the author of romance that is re-
plete with instruction for young persons
who, like himself, are fascinated with the
gayeties of youth. He has just filed a
petition in bankruptcy, having only over
due notes for $500 with which to pay his
debts amounting to something like $4,000.
Mr.. Wood was fast young man. He
spent money freely, wore fine clothes,
drove fast horses, and in other ways led a
life of dissipation, which has brought dis
honor to his name and ruined his finan
cial standing. First on his list Of creditors
stands his father for $lS,6S9.40-a sum
large enough, one would think, to have
given any young man comfortable star
in life. Then there are sundry othel
creditors who put in accounts for from
$4,000 to $1,000 for carriage hire, between
81 900 and $4,000 for wagons, and as muci
more for unpaid clothing bills, to sa!

who can run his credit to such an exten

Women should understand that no
beauty has any charms but in the inward
one of the mind, and that gracefulness in
the manners is much more engaging than
that of their persons; that meekness and
modesty are the true and lasting orna.
ments; for she that has these is qualified
as she ought to be for the management OF
a family, for the education of her children,
for an affection for her husband, and sub
mitting to prudent way of living. These
only are the charms that render wives
amiable, and give them the best title to ouI
