Little JOhnnie's I" Piece' on Ow

Wen you come to see 'em close they
got off1e big eyes, but wen you feel 'em
with your fingers, which they bites, you
find they have only got jest enuf meat
to hold their fethers to gether. Once
there was a man thot he would like a
owl for pet, SO he tole the bird man to
send him the best one in the shop; but
wen it was brot home he look at it and
skeweezed it, but it didn't suit. So the
man he rote letter to the bird man,
and said: "Dear sir: take my pen
in hand to inform you I'll keep the owl
witch you have sent, tho it amt like
wanted, but wen it is ded you must make
me other, with little eyes, cos I spose
these is bout No. 12's, but if I pay you
the same price for No. 6's mebby you
can afford to put in more OWL"
Owls is very wise, but my sisters yung
man says any body GUIDE be wise if they
wude set up mites, like owls, for to take
notice. That teller is a comm to our
house agin, jest as he used to, only more,
and wen asst him what made him come
so much, he said he was a man of
science, like me, and was studying
orny thology, witch is birds. / asst him
what birds he was studyn,. and he said
angels, and wen he said it my sister
she look out of the winder, and said
wot fine day it had turned out to be,
but it was rainin cats and dogs when she
said it. never seen such a goose in
my life as that girl, but Uncle Ned,
witch has been in Indy and evry were, he
says that they are jest that way in Mad
dygasker.
There was a mans house one mite
witch was q spiritlist, and some folks
was there witch bleeved in it too, so they
oil jined hands, and set down to table
without any supper on it, and turned
down the gas 10, just tiny little bit of
lite. After vile there was raps, and |
the man which they was in his house
said: "Wot spirit is presently" but no
anser. Then the raps they begun an
other time, and the man he said the al |
fabet over and over, bout hour, and
wen there was q rap thay took down
that letter on piece of paper, very SOL
emn. jest then q pet owl slept out
from under q sofy, wunk it big eyes like
sleepy, much as to say: az CESS its
lime this here sayance was goin' home

Utilizing the Electric Light.

The great desideratum, so long felt,
of method of lighting factories and
other buildings of extensive area, by a
method which allows of work being
done as well at night as in the day
time, and which, when reflected, does
not distress the eye-which produces
no smoke, and, consequently, no dirt
throws out no heat, removes almost all
danger of confagration, andis obtainable
at the very minimum of cost, is now
claimed as an assured thing, in the ap-
plication of the electric light, accord
ing to the plan adopted now and for
some time past in Rouen, France, where
no pains have been spared to thorough
~ test and perfect the system. An es-
sential popularity of this plan appears
to be that the rejecting surface, that is
to say, the whole of the walls and cell
ing, should be of a yellow rather than
a blush white, and the manufacturers
of the apparatus state that nothing has
been found SO good for this purpose as
plaster; the windows, too, must be
covered by means of blinds-these, like
the walls and ceilings, to be of a white
color inclining to yellow. The electric
lamp is placed in an iron shield, of the
shape of pail, but about 10 inches d.
ameter at the top, the sides and bottom
totally concealing the light from those
below. The light itself is about four
inches below the upper edge of the
shield, and the reflector is placed within
the shield, and half an inch or an inch
below the light. The reAectors are
nearly fiat, the center being about half
an inch higher than the outer rim, the
surface being curved, and, of course,
silvered and highly polished; they are
some Is or 16 inches in diameter, and
have a piece cut out from the center to
The circumference, to allow the placing
Of the reflector over the lamp. The
charcoal points long four-square sticks
Of graphite formed in gas retorts-last

Nasal Billiards.

The novel game of billiards between
Capt. Robert, the Ere nch expert nose
player, and Messrss Maggioli and COste,
attracted an audience of about $50
spectators in the rotunda of the St.
Charles Hotel last evening. The crowd
was very quiet and was only aroused to
enthusiasm when the Captain chalked
his nose preparatory to executing diff
ficult shot. Capt Robert played en-
tirely with his nose, lying at full
length upon the tables when he made
his shots, and as he is rather short and
stout, it was quite an exhibition of phys
steal strength and endurance if not of
skill and science. The entertainment
consisted of two games of 200 points
each, and as "the man with the nose
had to jump on the table to make his
play and then jump down again, he
must, calculating the table to be three
feet high, have jumped up and down
about 2,400 feet, nearly half mile;
and it was not a very good night for
jumping either. The nose-player beat
both his opponents and looked fresh
and lively at the end of the contests,
the only noticeable change in his ap-
pearance being slight redness at the
end of his cue.-NeU Orleans Demo-
crdt.

How Holtun, the Strong Man, Aston.
ishes the L0ndOners.

Holtum stretches himself along a lad
der on his face, his feet against one of
the rungs, and his hands clasping an
other. Round his wrists are bands fas-
tened to the ladder to assist his grip.
Over his shoulders and round his waist
is . well padded harness, fitting closely,
with tail, to which is attached hook
in which the chains of the traces are
placed. Two good-sized horses are
fastened on, and strive their utmost to
move him, but in vain; the tackle may
give way, but. he doesn't. The strain
seems to be distributed over his whole
frame, and the tension, particularly in
the muscles of the neck and arms, is
most marked. Holtum has another feat.
1t consists in holding, with arms out
stretched, two horses pulling opposite
ways. HOltum's measurement is as fol-
lows: Chest, Al INCHES; neck, 16A inch
es; waist, 324 inches; forearm, IS inch
es; upper arm, Isl inches; thigh, 243
inches; calf, Is inches; height, 5 feet 9
inches; weight, 14stone, 8 pounds; age,
324 years.
Holtum is q Dane, and took to this
business in 1872. The idea of catching
a cannon-5all, another of his wonderful
feats, which he exhibits daily at the
Westminster Aquarium, was first sug-
gested to him in dream. He draws
salary of about R40 per week. He has
shown that the body supine can stand
direct tension Of oyer FIVE tons.

A few months, or even weekA since, her
paid cOuntenance was the very type OF rudy
health-the delight Of the school and the pride
of the household. She was always welcome
wherever duty or pleasure led her. Dhigent
punctual and exemplary, In the classroom,
obedient and loving at home, she won the
hearts Of all But alas! those glowing cheeks
and lips are now blapched by consumption.
The voice once so enchanting In laugh and
song is feeble, husky and broken BY hollow
cough. Let us approach her couch and gent
ly take her bloodless hand in our own. Do
not shudder because Of its feeble passi0nless
grasp. The hand once so warm and plump
shows its bony outlines, while the cords and
tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon its
surface. The pulse that bounded with reple.
ton, imparting beauty, vfvacity, health and
touch. The enervated heart feebly propels
the thin, scanty blood. Must we lose her
while yet SO young and so fair! No. There
is relief. But something more Is required
than the observance OF hygienic rules, for en-
feebled nature calls for aid and she must have
it. Administer this pleasant medicine. 1t is
invigorating. It allays the irritable cough,
improves the appetite and digestion, and sends
q healthy tingle through her whole being. The
blood is enriched, nervous power increased,
and the heart bounds with new impulse.
Her face brightens-the blood is returning,
her voice is clearer, and her requests are no
longer delivered in that peevish, fretful tone
so deadening to sympathy. Her step is still
faltering, but strength 10 rapidly returning.
Let us take her out in the warm, Me-giving
sunshine. In q few weeks she viii 60 with
out our aid and be able to Join her compan-
ions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her
whole being hwarmed and expanded into per-
feet life.n The change is so greet that We
think she is sweeter and nobler than ever be-
fore. And the medicine which has wrought
this transformation, we look upon as bless
ing to humanity, for there are other loved
ones to be rescued from the grasp Of the in
cal Discovery has raised her. It will raise

ed his farewell sermon in the Episcopal
Church in Medford, Mass. The parish
requested him to resign. He says that
his downfall is the result of an unfortun-
ate combination of circumstances. One
evening he took large dose of Medford
rum to cure cold, and went to bed !;
but he had scarcely fallen asleep when
a surprise party of young folks took
possession of his house. He had to get
up and entertain them. The rum and
the sudden awakening dazed him, and
he created the impression that he was
grossly intoxicated, whereas he was
sure that he was "only just little be-
wildered.''
