moo Old 10 b Caurht rIth ChaIE.

Considerable amusement was created
in one Of our stores the other day, by
the antics of An old lady in a frilled cap
and spectacles, over what she considered
a strong exhibition Of the marvellous.
A gardener friendo Of the shop-keeper had
recently presented him with a small
mouthed bottle containing large
cucumber-quite a curiosity to those
ignorant of how it is produced, but, like
many other mysteries, simple enough
when explained. The bottle is of course
placed over the embryo pickle when 1t
is small and allowed 10 remin beside the
vine until the growth is completed. The
old lady had never seen or heard OF
anything of the kind, and she stood
before it utterly dazed and bewildered
with astonishment. First she would get
on one side, plant her spectacles firmly,
take long look and then draw a deep
breath. She would then remove her
glasses, give them thorough wiping
and try il again, remarking in a high
KEY, with much emphasis:
"Nobody in this world kin ever make
me believe that is a ginooine cowcumber
in that bottle-it's iist some kind of a
scum you've cast over my eyes !"
Then she would get over on the other
side, readjust her spectacles, wink
several times with both eyes in the
drollest manner to dispel the delusion,
and then take aim at the bottle again,
closing first one eye and then the other,
with the same result as before, when she
would repeat the remark, and shake heI
head with incredulity as she slowly
expressed her doubts as to the reality Of
the spectacle.
"I mind of being to a slight o'-hand

Influence of Snow on Temperature,

DIR. Woieikoff, in an Austrian journal,
makes some short remarks on THE sub
iect, taking as his text the unusual
warmth of the weather, together with
the absence of snow in Eastern Euro
pean Russia last Christmas. He con-
siders that this warmth has been due to
the internal heat of the earth, and ex-
plains the action on the following three
facts. l, That no non conducting STRAIT
UNI was interposed between the ground
and the air, SO that the lower atmos-
pheric strata were warmed. 2. That the
moisture of the soil promoted thermic
equilibrium between the earth and the
atmosphere. 3. That the deep cracks,
which were very common, allowed ac-
cess for the cold air to the interior of the
ground. DR.. Wojeikoff points out the
interest of the question as bearing on
the causes which produce unusually low
temperatures in Siberia and Northwest
America.

The ART ot Prolopxing Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations OF the laws
that govern our physical being, and Of which
the mass s are ignorant II men knew better
they would do better; but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not of? While efforts
are made through the public schools to
give each child so-called common English
education, yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible duties
of active life, profoundly ignorant of the
structure of their own bodies, and the laws of
physical being upon which their health and
lives depend. They are sent to school and
crammed with arithmetic, grammar and geo.
gIaphy, by teachers who. in many instances,
have never studied physiology and hygiene.
They are taught to locate the mountains and
trace the rivers of foreign countries, but are
never taught to locate the vital organs and
glands of their own bodies or trace the veins,
arteries, and nerves in their various ramifca-
tons. They are instructed in the flow of the
tides, and the course of the ocean currents, and
the philosophy of winds and storms; but they
have no correct conception OF the relative ef-
fects upon their health of breathing pure or
impure air. nor has their attention ever been
called to the Importance of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
The criminality of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that
the Masses ignorantly violating sthe laws OF
health, bring upon themselves sickness, suf-
fering and death, that might otherwise be
avoided. In this condition of things we well
come into being any work that is calculated to
impart to the masses knowledge of the struc-
ture of their own bodies, the laws Of health,
and the Importance Of observing those laws.
We find DIR. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser to be just such work. 1t is physio.
logical and pathological, and the major part
OF 1t should be converted into text book for
the use of common schools. Its careful study
will enable the healthy to preserve their health
and the sickly to regain health. Every
parent should read it, and as their children be-
come of proper age, instruct them in the all.

George and Harry worked in the same
shop; but as the working season was
almost over, and there would be little
work to do during the summer months,
their employer informed them, as they
settled up on Saturday evening, that he
could only give one of them work there
after. He was very sorry, be said but
it was the best he could do. He told
them both to come back on Monday
morning, and that he would decide on
the one he wished to remain. So the
young men returned to their boarding
house a good deal cast down ; for work
was scarce, and neither one knew where
he could obtain q situation if he was the
one to leave.
That evening, as they counted over
their weeks wages, said Harry to his
friend
"Mr. Wilson has paid me a quarter
of dollar too much"

"Oh, he was very busy when six
o'clock came and, handling so much
money, he was careless when he came
to pay our trife," said George, as he
stuffed his into his pocket book.
"Well, " said Harry, 81 am going to
stop as I go to the post-of1ice, and hand
it to him."
"You are wonderful particular about
quarter" said George. "What does
he care for that trife? Why, he would
not come to the door for it, if he knew
what you wanted and 1 am sure you
worked hard enough to earn it,"
But Harry called, and handed his EN-.
ployer the money, who thanked him fol
returning it, and went into the house
Mr.. Wilson had paid each of them 8
quarter more than their wages, on pur,
pose to test their honesty.

Catching 1TuukeyE.


The task of capturing monkeys in a
wild state is no easy one, and some inge-
nuity has to be exercised in accomplish
ing it. One method which is said to be
often adopted is by the aid of a strong
fishing line. Having discovered place
which is much frequented by monkeys,
the intending captor first walks careless
ly through it, and then strews some
corn upon suitable spot, on which
few round holes, about four inches in
depth, are dug with knife. About
half an hour afterwards, he returns to
the place, drops more corn into all the
holes, but leaves a moose round one of
the latter, which he covers up with
earth. He then secretes himself in an
adjoining bush, and takes in his hand a
line which is attached to the moose
Presently the monkeys appear, and one,
drawer than the rest, will perhaps, first,
just pop its paw into hole and quickly
take it out again. Next, concluding no
danger is to be feared, it will begin to
secure some of the corn, and, the other
monkeys having joined him, the hole is
soon finished. In this way the differ
emit holes are approached and emptied,
until at length the one with the fatal
moose is reached. Chattering among
themselves, and bent on enjoying theil
feast, the monkeys dip into this
as they have into the others, ant
all goes merrily, until suddenly tn,
line is jerked, scream is heard, ant
within the moose is seen the paw of til,
entrapped animal, which, amid the lou,
cries of its enrage d companions, is thel
quickly hauled in and secured.
