a new industry has been started in Mans
field, Mass, by Kingman and Hodges It is no
less than the manufacture Of jegerly out of
sour milk. This seems strange anomaly, but
II Is fact. The milk comes in tbe shape OF
curd from the butter and cheese making coun-
ties OF New York, and looks upon it's arrival a
great deal like popped corn: but before it
leaves their shop it undergoes wonderful
change, and receives the name of American
coral. The secret in making it up is carefully
gaurded, but it is certain that il has to be heat
ed very hot, during which coloring is lntroduc-
ed, followed by very heavy pressure. Some
OF it is colored black and called jet, while some
appears as celuloid. 1t makes very handsome
jewelry, and is made into all kinds and styles
known to the trade.

A HEALTHY PULsE.-A physician writes rec
ommending every one to learn something
about the pulse to ascertain the state OF the
pulse in health; so that, by comparing il with
what It Is when he is aiing, he may have some
idea OF the urgency Of his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse OF each child,
as now and then a person is born with pc
culiarly slow or false pulse, and the very case
In hand may be one Of that popularity. An
infants pulse is 140, child OF seven about 80.
and from 20 to 60 1t is 10 beats a minute, de-
Ginning to go at four-score. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats 10 times in minute
there may be good health down to 60; but if
the pulse always exceeds 20 there is a disease
the machine is working itself out there is a
fever OF Inflammation somewhere. and the
body is feeding on ITSELF as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick-that is, over 10
gradually increasing with decreased chances
OF cure, until it reaches 10 or 120, when death
comes before many days. When the pulse is
over 10 for months, and there is slight cough.
the lungs are affected.

A NTATERIALIXED HOLE,

Take sheet of stiff writing paper and
fold it into tube an inch in diameter.
Apply it to the right eye and look stead
fastly through it, focusing the eye on any
convenient object; keep the left eye open.
Now place the left hand, held palm upward
edgeways against the side of the tube and
about an inch or two above it's lower end
The astonishing effect will be produced of
a hole, apparently the size of the cross Sec
tion of the tube, made through the left
hand. This is the hole in which we pro-
pose to materialize another and smaller
hole. AS we need genuine aperture, and
it would be inconvenient to make one in the
left hand, let sheet of white paper be
substituted therefor and similarly held.
just at the part of the paper where the
hole equaling in diameter the orifce of the
tube appears make an opening q quarter
of an inch in diameter. Now stare in
tently into the tube; and the second hole.

Will pe seen noatlng IN the first hole, and
yet both will be transparent. The illusion.
for of course it is one of those odd pranks
our binocular vision plays upon US, is GER
tainly one of the most curious ever devised.
Besides, here is the actual hole clearly
visible, and yet there is no solid body to be
seen to define its edges. 1t is not a mere
spot of light, because if page of print be
regarded, the lines within the boundaries
of the little hole will not coincide at all
with those surrounding it and extending to
the edges of the large apparent aperture.
Each eye obviously TRANSMITS an entirely
different impression to the brain, and that
organ, unable to disentangle them, lands
us in the palpable absurdity of material
lied hole.

principal danger comes from themselves
and is in their own control, it is probable
that, even under the influence of sudden
excitement and fear, many who now would
show bad example might then show a
good one. Not very long ago a sudden
alarm took place in one of the best of the
Paris theatres. 1t was not an alarm of fire
it was only g chattering and crashing
among the branches, chains and lamps of
the huge glass chandelier which hung from
the roof. Those who were under the CHAM
delier thought it was coming down upon
them, and made wildly for the doors. The
theatre was well enough constructed, and
had many outlets, but in an instant some
Of the passages was completely jammed
and choked by excited people. Luckily q
single instant was enough to allow one
of the performers on the stage to see and
explain the whole cause of alarm, and to
convince the fugitives that there was no
danger. The whole stampede was set
going by the sudden pattering of hailstones
through an open window among the metal
and glass of the chandelier. In that in
stant The alarm was but momentary, and
in many parts of the house was unobserved.
Yet it was evident to all cool observers
that had it lasted only few minutes longer
and been allowed to spread, the passages
and doors would have been hopelessly
choked by panic stricken crowd, and some
loss of life most nfallibly have occurred.

hoy COACHmEN IN RUSSIA.

| The Russians are the best coachmen in
the world. In order 10 acquire the great
skill in driving to which they attain they
begin their their training early-in fact,
when quite children. 1t is wonderful to see
the boy coachman driving a carriage-and-
four over rough and dangerous roads, at
full gallop, for ten or twelve miles at a
stretch. Russia. as all know, is country
of vast extent, being 1000 miles at its
greatest length, with an average width of
l 500 miles, and containing, as some esti-
mates, 1000, 900 of square miles. The or
dinary carriage roads are nearly the only
means of communication but these are of
very inferior construction. Huge hollows
and large stones continually intercept the
travellers progress; frail bridges of wood,
without any battlements or outside protec-
ton whatever, stretch across wide and
rapid rivers; and over the dangerous
roads, and the still more dangerous brid-
ges the Russian coachman dashes at the
fastest gallop. II seems miracle that
travellers do not, as a rule, lose their lives
and break their limbs and coaches every
journey. The latter often takes place the
coach being stopped for repairs sometimes
half dozen times on the road

windy checks and whistle his seductive
strains in vain henceforth, for the boy
and his kite have been suppressed, and
the time-honored sport, around which
cluster familiar traditions of honest Ben.
Franklin, has been declared a nuisance.
But it is no more than the rising gener-
alton, which, in truth, is a crushed gen.
Grafton, should expect, for fireworks
have been squelched with all their patri-
otto associations; and snow-balling can
only be carried on at the risk of arrest
and imprisonment. No wonder that an
expression of settled melancholy has
overcome the faces of our boys, and that
they wander solemnly about in constant
dread lest they violate law. No Won
der that they reflect upon the successive
suppressions of boyish sports and ask in
their simplicity, if boys themselves will
not be soon suppressed. There may be
seriously injurious connected
with the flying of kites, uttthe matter
should have very mature consideration
before this ancient right of the great
American boy is interfered with, and his
kite with its streaming tail is banished
from the city.

ERHE WALD YAK OF NORTHERN
TkaERET.

This handsome beast is of extraordi-
nary size and beauty, measuring, when
full grown, II feet in length, exclusive
Of it's bushy tail, which is three feet
long. Its height at the hump is six
feet, and the head is adorned with pom
derous horns. The body is covered
with thick black hair, which in the old
males assumes chestnut color on the
back and upper parts Of the sides. 1t
roams in unrestricted freedom among
the inhospitabls wastes of Northern
Thibet; but is found also further north.
Although endowed with an acute sense
of smell, its sight and hearing are de-
fective, and even on clear day, and on
level ground, it cannot distinguish a
man at any great distance; but it will
scent him half mile to windward.
| Wild yak shooting is a dangerous pas
time, for when wounded it will often at
tack its pursuers. Such is the tough
ness or it's hide and strength of its bone,
that a bullet aimed at the body very
seldom wounds mortally; and one fired
from first-rate rifle fails to penetrate
the skull unless it hits the brain-pan
If it were not for its stupidity and inde-
cision, prejevalsk,y says that it would be
more formidable foe shan tiger. He
describes his slaughter of one, at which
he and N. Pyltsef and one of his Co.'S
sacks fred volley after yolley with their
rifles. and although he frequently fell,
he rose and charged them until he
stopped, and it was then too dark to con-
tinue the fire. Next morning they
found him dead, with thirteen bullets
in his body aud three in his head-ons
having fractured the skull. On exam-
ming the body of another yak which he
killed, he found that seven bullets had
lodged in his chest, and stuck there like
row of buttons. And yet the brute
kept charging until he fell dead! The
Mongols are terribly afraid of the wild
yak, but their gluttony sometimes over.
comes their fears, and for the sake of it's
beef they 60 out in parties of ten and
deliver voliey from their matchlocks
while safe hidden in some ambush. We
need not dwell upon the extreme useful
ness of the yak when domesticated.
Next to the camel, it is the "ship of the
desert;" and, indeed, surpasses that
animal as beast Of burden in high lat
titudes, for the camel cannot climb pre-
cipitous passes where the yak is quite
at home.

MONEY ONE HUNDRED YEARS
AGO.

One hdhdred years ago, students at Har-
ward College paid their tuition with live
stock and provisions. The currency of the
Pilgrims was the first issue ofpaper money
in this country. During the war of Queen
Anne paper currency was established,
known as Queen Anne's war currency,
which soon became worthless. In 1855,
Virginia issued paper currency, previous
to which the clergy were paid in tobacco.
In IT'S, John Coleman established bank
in Massachusetts,, with land for capital,
and began the issue of loans. Other col
onies followed, and the amount of loans by
the colonies finally reached to millions,
which the mother country paid off at re-
duced rates to save the credit of the colon
les. In ITS, Congress issued paper money
to the amount of 100000, to be redeem
ed in coin in three years. The colonies or
States also issued paper money, and soon
the whole volume of State and National
currency amounted to $4,000, 600. This
money was taken without much question
at first, and those who refused it were stig-
matized as unpatriotic; but in the follow
ing year it began to decline, and in l780,it
was worth almost nothing. A barber-shop
in Philadelphia was plastered all over with
Continental money, and dogs were tarred,
stuck over with the same shinplasters and
6t out to run the streets for the public
amusement. To Robert Morris is due the
salvation of the Revolutionary army. He
lent his private fortune and credit to the
government, and when all his money was
gone and his credit had been literally
used, Washington said he must raise
more money to carry out war measure,
the perfection of which only waited for the
money, Morris, therefore, issued his own
notes for 81 ,4o0,o Washington gained
the battle of Yorktown, and CORVALLIS
surrendered. Every one of these Morris
notes were subsequently redeemed. In
1882 the Bank of North America was es-
tablished at Philadelphia, with capital
of $40O ,00O. This was the first bank of
the National Government. The date of the
first silver coinage was 1884, and of the
Fl rst gold coinage 1894.

A Boston journal Of mature years and
presumable wisdom, appeals to the bank
ers and business men of that city to an
ticipate the effect of the Silver Law and
the probable displacing of National
Bank notes" by placing their business
son the stable basis of gold, where it will
not be deranged or shaken by the freaks
of Legislation" The proposition is to
make gold alone the basis of all transac-
tons in Massachusetts "and other States
where sentiment is sound" and to take
silver only at its actual market value as
bullion. Also, eff the Government con-
tinues to dishonor its notes and keep
them at discount, they can be accepted
only for what they are worth" 1t might
be very chivalrous for the bankers and
merchants of a single city, in support of
an abstract idea, to systematic warfare
against the national currency, but, in
view of the consequences to the insignifi-
cant portion of the country they repre-
sent, it appears both absurd and silly.
AS long as Massachusetts, continues to
eel any of her surplus products she must
accept payment therefor in the "currency
of the realm"

GENERAL EWING, of this State, and
General B. F. Butler, of Massachusetts,,
two men of very much the same charac-
teristics, are for perhaps the first time in
their political careers on the same plat
form. When Ewing was Wing Butler
was warm Democratic admirer of Jef-
ferson Davis and by the time that Butler
got squarely into the Republican party
Ewing was trimming his sails and, head
ing for the Democratic camp. They
stood upon the same ground, perhaps, for
short time while Butler was getting
into and Ewing out of the Repub-
lican party; but they faced in opposite
directions, and gradually the gulf be-
tween them widened, Though nominally
OF opposite politics, they are now in full
accord on the principal question of the
day, but their paths are liable to diverge
at any moment They are alike sharp
impulsive, energetic and unreliable. You
know where they are, for neither ever
misses an opportunity to define his views;
but you have no idea where you will find
them a month or year hence.

AN Indian can take almost anything
easier than joke. Two young ladies on
the Nebraska frontier jocularly offered to
trade themselves off to couple of Indi-
ans for fifteen ponies each. The Indians
promptly accepted the offer, and could
not understand the explanation that at
was only a joke" But for the presence
of sufficient force to prevent it, they
would have taken the girls by force.
Moral-Think as soon of joking with a
ghost as with an Indian.
