Habits Of Sheep.

They perseveringly follow their
leader wherever he goes; but, if in case
of sudden alarm, anyone of the flock
runs forward to escape, and thus takes
the lead, the rest generally follow him
regardless of any obstruction. Of this
singular disposition, DR.. Anderson once
witnessed an instance in the Town of
Liverpool. A butchers boy was driv-
ing about twenty fat wedders through
the town, but they ran down II street
along which he did not want them to
90. He observed scavepger at work
with his broom little way before
them, and called out loudly for him to
stop the sheep. The man accordingly
did what he could to turn them back,
running from side to side, always OPP
posing himself to their passage. and
brandishing his broom with great dex-
terity; but the sheep, much agitated,
pressed forward, and, at last, one of
them came right up to the man, who,
fearing it was about to jump over his
head while he was stopping, grasped
the short broomstick in both hands and
held it over his head. He stood for a
few seconds in this position, when the
sheep made spring and jumped fairly
over him without touching the broom.
The first had no sooner cleared this inn
pediment than another followed, and
another, in such quick succession that

A Curious Feature OF TOughened
Glass.

In the Bohemia, Prof. Ricard, of
Trchewap, tells the following tale. "A
child's drinking-glass was bought one
day at Saaz, for about seventy kreutzer,
and for six months it sustained its char
acter of unbreakable glass. But about
nine O'Clock one evening, in the sixth
month, it was used in drinking eau
sucre, and was then placed, with a sill
yer spoon in it, upon large Oaken
table. Suddenly heard from my room
violent explosion like a pistol-shot
and a metallic sound. l ran in and
saw the whole floor strewn with needles
and splintcrs of glass, scattered thinly
and widely-and not only upon the
floor, but the bed, the table, the wash
stand, the carpet and the clothes hung
up were covered with these shreds. l
l looked everywhere for the cause of
this explosion, and at last remarked
that the child's drinking-cup was gone.
The empty glass had exploded-with-
ont apparent cause, without the ap-
proach of light. and having spoon
in it-with such extraordinary force
that the whole household was fright
| cned. Irelate this story, therefore, not
only for the information of chemists
and natural philosophers, but also of
those families who believe that in this
so-called unbreakable glass they pos
sess remarkable and unspoilable play
things or useful household goods, to
show them that when such IN explosion
occurs it may cause not only fright but
mischief To the foregoing the editor

that such explosions of toughened
glass, often without any apparent
! cause, have been pretty frequent, Of
late. and appear to be on the increase.

A Lost POcket.ISOOk and its Claimants.

A GENTLEMAN recently advertised in
the New York Times that he had found
pocket-book, and Il reporter of that
paper went to his house to see the
crowd that would call for it. In two
days there were forty-one women and
fifteen men, and two letters, represent
ing a loss of S1,7OO. 1t was impossible
to say how many were genuine, as the
attempt to get hold of lost articles of
value is regularly carried on by sharp
ers in New York. One confederate,
for example, will describe with great
minuteness the pOcket-book he has lost
ia Russia leather one with a strap
containing so many notes and a few
newspaper scraps. He is told it is not
his; then he'll go over it again, adding
additional points, and these are denied
by the finder of the pockct-book. Per-
hint or two that the book is black and
has clasp, or has more money than
the amount mentioned. A second con-
fcderate comes and describes pocket
book with steel rim; the points at
which he fails are successfully elimi-
mated by the finder, unless he is very
shrewd, and the third or fourth con-
federate describes the pocket-book ex-
actly and carries it off. Sometimes a
description of pocket-book is impru-
IDENTIFY inserted in the advertisement,
and the sharp fellows who are on the
watch for these advertisements arc
early on the ground and take it away.
In the present instance, the gentleman
was very careful not to inform those
who inquired wherein they were wrong
in the descriptions, but simply told
them that it was not theirs. One
woman who entered he at once sus-
pected and told her it was not brown
pocket-book, like the one she claimed she
had lost, but small black one, and had
a five-dollar note in it. She went away,
and soon another woman entered and
described hers as small black
pocket-book with SIS in it. She was
told it was a large brown pocket-book,
and was much disconnected. The mar
rative does not say whether anybody
finally got the pocket-book. Perhaps
there was ho pocket-book at all, and
the gentleman amused himself and the
reporter by pretending to have found
one; perhaps he kept it finally as pay
for his trouble; or perhaps it is only a
reporters story, invented in lieu of
anything more exciting.-Detron Post
and Tribune.

How to Act in Case Of Fire.

BETTER than all elaborate and costly
apparatus for extinguishing fires are
constant care and watchfulness, and
quick and intelligent action on the part
of those who first discover a fire in
progress. The fire which at it's begin
ming could be smothered with pocket
handkerchief, or dashed out with a
bucket of water, neglected a few hours
lays in waste millions of dollars worth
of property. Ii there is any time in
which person should be cool and
calm, in perfect command of himself,
it is when he discovers fire that
threatens the destruction of life and
property. The first thing to do is to
learn precisely where it is; the second,
to consider the chances of extinguish-
ing it. Of course in cities an alarm
should at once be sent out, but at the
same time u vigorous effort should be
made to put out the fire with the means
at hand; for sometimes what the fire.
engine is unable to accomplish when it
reaches the scene can be done by one
or two persons who act promptly be-
fore the flames have had time to gain
Roadway.
First, then, do not be alarmed on ac-
count of smoke. Frequently there is a
great deal of smoke before the fire has
made much progress. Remember that
one can pass through smoke by keeping
his head near the floor, or by envelop-
ing it in a wet wooden cloth. On enter
ing room to fight down Il fire single
handed, keep the door closed behind,
if possible. A pail of water and a tin
dippcr, in the hands of a rcsolute per-
son, can be made to work miracle at
the beginning. If the fire has pro-
crossed too far to admit Of this course.
and it is necessary to depend entirely
on outside help, then see to it that ev-
cry door and window is closed. by SO
doing. where there is tirc-engine in
the neighborhoOd, it will often be posi-
BILE to confinc the fire to one room.
Every person who stops at hotel
should take special pains before rctir-
ing to note the location of the stair
ways, SO that in case of an alarm he
can find his way out, even though the
halls are filled with smoke. Never
leave room where there is an alarm
of fire without first securing wet
towel, or, if possible, a wet sponge or
piece of wooden cloth through which to
breathe. If escape by the stairs is cut
off, seek an outside window, and stay
there till help comes. Above all things
be cool and have your wits about you.
When Il lady dress takes fire, let her
fall on the floor ut once, and call for
help, in the meantime reaching for
some rur or wooden cloth with which
to smother the flames. There is moth
ing new in this advice. 1t has been re
peated in one form VI another hundreds
of times, but it will bear repeating
thousands of times. -American Builder

England would resist by all the means at her
