Prof. Cartier, OF New York, recently
waltzed sixteen hours without stop
ping, a feat greater by two hours than
anything of the kind before attempted.
To make his task more d flcult, he an
nounued that he would dance only with
women. This was a piece of self.sacri.
fee on his part, as people who attempt
to waltz for many hours together are
accustomed to rest themselves by having
a strong man to carry them around.
He began at o o'clock in the morning,
his partner being Miss Sadie Leopoldti,
his sister-in-law, who danced with him
for four hours. At / o'clock Mrs. Car
tier took Miss Leopoldtl's place and
danced with the Professor for two
hours. Prof. Cartier showed very good
judgment In choosing partners, all of
them being pretty and also good
dancers. In the evening Miss Yetman,
a young woman from Newark, danced
with him. Before she began she said
that she would dance one hour, and she
did, although toward the last she was
somewhat tired. Prof, Cartier danced
on a part Of the floor in front of the
platform, separated from the rest of the
hall by a ROY Of benches. Outside of
this space the floor was crowded with
dancers. Up to the end the Professor
seemed to be fresh, and during the last
half hour was especially so.

A fishing party on the banks of Shoal
creek, Jasper county, Missouri, heard
a noise in the un%derbrush, and going
in the direction of the sound saw a big
coon and two large black snakes In
deadly combat, the former getting the
worst of the fight. One of the reptiles
was coiled around the coon's body, and
whenever 1t attempted to use its teeth
the other snake struck at its eyes. 1t
attempted to retreat, but the snake
which encircled it dropped a coil, and
as quick as thought took a "halfhitch"
around a small sapling. 1t tried hard
to pull loose, and while Its energies
were bent In that direction the other
snake took acoil around the coon's neck,
and In a few minutes choked the life out
OF 1t. The spectators, who had been
dumb witnesses of the struggle, nd.
vanced and killed the victors. One meas,
ured nine feet and the other seven feet
six Inches in length.

4 Reason for Success,

That wide awake paper, The Sunday School
Times, is fast being recognized as one Of the
leading religious weeklies OF the country. Its
marked editorial ability, and its rapidly in
creasing circulation has caused The Indepen-
dent, of New York, to pronounce it the best
periodical OF its class in the world, with a sub
scriptlon list which only two or three OF our
religious periodicals can profess to equal"
One way in which The Sunday School Times
has added 80 largely to its subscription list, is
by a plan which allows a new subscriber to try
the paper for three months at the nominal
price OF twenty-five cents. This plan was
adopted nearly two years ago, and 30 large a
proportion OF these trial subscribers have re-
newed their subscriptions that the publisher
has concluded to keep the offer open to any
who have not yet ayailed themselves OF it. A

The Use of whiskers to a Cat.


The sense which of all others is most
deficient in the cat is that of smell. In
this she differs most markedly from the
dog. 1t is said that a piece of meat may
be placed in close proximity to a cat,
but that, if it is kept covered up, she
will fail to distinguish it, This want is,
however, partly compensated for by an
extremely delicate sense of touch, which
is possessed to a remarkable extent, by
the whiskers, or vibrisse, as well as by
the general surface OF the skin. These
bristles are possessed to a greater or
less extent by all cats, and are simply
great developed hairs, having enor-
mously swollen roots, covered with a
layer of muscular tibers, with which
delicate nerves are connected. BY means
of these latter, the slightest touch on
the extremity of the whiskers is instant
ly transmitted to the brain. These or
gans are of the greatest possible value
to the cat in its nocturnal campaigns.
When it is deprived of the guidance af-
forded by light it makes its way by the
sense of touch, the fine whiskers touch
ing against every object the cat passes,
and thus acting in precisely the same
manner as a blind mans stick, though
with infinitely greater sensibility. Ina

Labor in Frdnce.-The Consul at Nice
reports that the common labor of his
district on roads, buildings, etc., is
mOnopolized by the industrious and
frugal Piedmontese, who earn from 30
to SO cents a day. Agricultural laborers
are few in number, and earn from AZ to
81 cents a day. The small farms are
mostly titled by the peasants who own
them or work them on shares. Me-
chanical labor is comparatively high.
Plumbers, coopers, and upholsterers get
from $1.20 to $l.56 a day; carpenters
and smiths from SO to SO cents; Journey
man tailors as high as $1.56; compost
tors, ~shoemakers, and masons from 80
cents to 81 per day. The cost of living
to the ordinary laborer is from 30 to 80
cents daily. His food is Indian meal,
bread, vegetables, and wine. Meat is
seldom eaten. Meal costs 3 cents a
pound, and wine 6 cents a bottle.
Wages have not materially varied for
skilled artisans In the last five years.
The export trade of Nice Is exclusively
confined to oils, perfumery, fruit, and
flowers, and is in p prosperous state, in.
creaslng rather than diminishing.

AGRICULTURE.

GREEN MASURISG. - Many persons
have an idea that IL 10 necessary 10 burn
plants In order to procure potash. They
also think vegetable matter must pass
through the digestive organs Of animals
In order TO be of value as manure. The
truth is, fire does nothing toward the
production Of potash or any other min
eral salt. Ii simply destroys the vege-
table, leaving the mineral substance
free. No kind Of vegetable matter IL as
valuable for manure after II has passed
through an animal as IL was before. In
truth the most valuable substance IL
contained went, while In the animal, TO
repair wastes in the body, 10 build up
new tissues, or TO form milk. The In.
ferior portions of the food, nnsuited TO
these purposes, were voided as dung.
The coarse portions of the food that
were voided were probably benefited
by passing through the digestive or
gans of the animal, as they were sOf-
tened and put In condition to betmore
readily decomposed. The most rational
method of increasing the fertility OF soil
is 10 pillow under the crops that grow
upon 1t. A person may argue that there
is no gain of fertiliziDg matter by this
practice, since nothing is returned to
the soil except what came from 1t.
Such, however, is not the case. Plants
do not exist on surface soil alone. A
large portion of the bulk and weight of
pants is derived from the air. Another
portion ONE from the soil far below
where the pillow reaches. Lime and pot
ash are obtained In this way, while car
bon and nitrogen are taken up from the
air. The leaves Of plants are the great
feeders, and they draw nothing from
the soil. The roots that enter the sub
soil, and those of many plants do, take
nothing from the soil that stimulates
the growth OF the majority of food
plants. By burying plants that OBJ
tanned their growth chiefly from the
air and sub-soil, the fertility of land
may be very greatly increased. BY the
use of different plants it is difficult TO
determine how abundantly soil may be
made to produce.

Hooaand's German BItters.

During the warm season the nerves become
enfeebled n the whole system debilitated.
The stomach loses its power OF digestion, the
liver becomes congested and sluggish. causing
constipation or diarrhea, dysentery and chol-
era morbus and the prevalence OF more or
less malaria at this season engenders ague,
bilious or typhoid ~feyers, often of serious i'm
port. To avoid these consequences take,
night and morning, a tablespoonful Of Hoof-

and digestion, tone the nerves, regulate the

To CLEAN COAT COLLARs.-Take two
ounces of rock ammonia, two ounces of
alcohol, n ounce each of spirits of
camphor and transparent soap. Put all
together in a large bottle, cover with
n quart of soft water, and when well
mixed and dissolved it is ready for use.
Spread the coat on a clean table, take
an old nail brush, or n of the small
scrubbing brushes sold as toys, dip in
the mixture, and scrub the dirty parts
thoroughly. Apply plenty of this, and
then then take clean, warm water and
go over it again. Hang out till partly

an AntediIaUiGn MonSter.-Professor
Marsh in his communication to The last
number of the American Journal Of
Science and Arts, thus describes whathe
states to be the largest animal yet found
or known to have existed on the Globe.
The Professor names it the GltdntOSdruS
immariS the dimensions of this monster
creature the Professor gives as follows
"The thigh bone of this creature is over
eight feet long 1880 mm.), with a
thickness at the larger end OF twenty
five inches, though the bone has no true
head. A comparison of this bone with
the femur of a crocodile would indicate
that the fossil saurian, if of similar pro-
portions, had a total length of ll5 feet.
That the reptile was one hundred feet
long when alive, is at least probable.
The other bones of this animal that
have been found are proportionately
gigantic; one caudal vertebra has a
transverse diameter of more than six
teen inches (420mm.). All the bones of
this reptile yet discovered are in the
Yale College museum. They are from
the upper Jurassle OF Colorado.

syrup in a glass of ice water makes a
