The Venus of Milo.

A small, but very interesting pamphlet
in reference to the Venus of Milo has just
appeared in Paris, the author of which
is q N. Doussault, its substance being as
follows:
In 1S47, NJ. Doussault, who was an ar
chitect, being in Athens, met there NJ
Brest, the French Consul at Milo, who
was the first man who saw the beautiful
statue on it's ancient pedestal. In the
course of various interviews with NJ. Brest,
NJ. Doussault took notes and memoranda
of everything he told him, and from these
he made, in the presence of M. Brest,
sketches, on which the latter himself
marked with pencil the position of each
piece of marble set in the semi. circle
around the statue. The sketches, re-
produced in fac simile, form part of the
pamphlet, which thus becomes a supple
ment to the original report of M. Brest,
which, somehow, has been misaid by the
French Government. The most import
ant facts arrived at by M. Doussault are
these: "At the time of the discovery the
Venus had no arms. She stood erect on a
bQuaIo bUClc, WltuOub mOululuS, auOul
eighty centimetres high. The two arms
were lying on the ground at the foot of the
statue. One of them, the left, which was
bent, held an apple, on which were traces
Of painting. Of this arm the Louvre pos
sesses only two fragments. AS to the
other arm, which has been lost, NJ. Brest
declared that he had seen it separated
from the trunk, and had even tried to
place it in position. Il thus became con-
vinced, said M. Brest, that the left arm
held the apple, while the right, stretched
down, held up the drapery.'" This pre-
else description seems to leave no doubt
as to the true position of the arms. 1t
also destroys the theory that another
statue was placed beside the Venus, form
ing a group with it, the socle and the
plinth being too narrow. 1t also destroys
all faith in the authenticity of the arms
reported to have been lately discovered,
one of which held small shield or
mirror

the good grandmother looked so tall and
stately, so beautiful and kind; she took
the little girl in her arms, and they both
flew higher and higher, till they were in
that place where neither cold, nor hun
ger, nor pain is ever known--they were
in Paradise.
But in the cold morning hour, crouch
ing in the corner of the wall, the poor
little girl was found-her lips still smil-
ing-lrozen to death on the last night OF
the Old Year. The New Years sun
shone on the lifeless child; motionless
she sat there with the matches in her lap,
one bundle of them quite burnt out.
"She has been trying to warm herself,
poor thing" the people said, but no one
knew of the sweet visions she had beheld,
or how gloriously she and her grand
mother were celebrating their New Year s
festival.-Hans Christian andersen.

The Winds Mischief.

The wind was out for froilc'
And n merry wight WAS he;
With tlying wing and whistlng mouth
Up he came from the far warm South,
To see what he could see.
And he saw in Gold'Locks garden
A rull.blown apple tree;
And where the leaves were cosiest
With leaf and blossom, he saw nest,
As cunning as could be,
And he paused in his mad.cap dying,
And murmured rogushly:
uOh, what will happen to that bird'house
III toss, and tumble, and shake the bows
HI do 1t, just to see!"
so he caught the blossomed branches,
Aud shook with wicked glee;
Shook and shook, again and again,
And down there sprinkled 3 rosy rain
Out from the apple tree.
But the birdlings in the birds nest
Slumbered so costly
That the mother sung in words like these:
"Oh, what a loving, beautiful breeze
To rock my babies for mew

"'The motion was not unpleasant,

round pace, shouting to the people to

right and left, as if some high mandarin

and densely crowded. Through such a
mass it was no small effort to force
our way, which was effected only by
our bearers keeping up constant

New England and the crowded cities of

farther north the percentage suddenly
sinks from twenty. three to eleven, and
even to six, if we cross the fifty seventh

Central Scotland and the pastoral re-

A Chinese Dog Story.

Sin Chun nourished in his household a
dog to which he was much attached. One
day as Sin Chun was sleeping heavily in
thicket, the governor Of the province,
who was out on hunting expedition,
chanced to pass, and ordered the grass OF
the thicket to be fired in order to Tighten
from it whatever game it might hide. The
dog tugged at Sin Chun's clothing, but
could not arouse him; then running to'a
stream hard by plunged into it, and re-
turning to where his master lay rolled
himself over and over, wetting the grass.
This performance he repeated several
times, till he had so saturated the ground
that his master was safe from the fames1
then, exhausted and cruelty burned, he
laid down by his masters side and died.
Sin Chun, awakening, was not slow to
comprehend the danger to which he had
been exposed and the means by which it
had been averted. With many tears he
carried home the body of the dog,
wrapped it in costly shroud, and placed
it in handsome tomb, which the COVER

SUNsHINE.-The first essential for q

money, labor, taste, are all thrown away.
A dark room cannot be cheerful; and 1T

Flowers will not blossom in it; neither

will know, how many meu and women
have been killed by dark rooms. "Glo-

ney smith used to say Of morning,
when he ordered every blind thrown open,
every shade drawn up to the top of the
window: "Whoever is fortunate enough
to have a southeast or southwest corner

floods of sunny light that sickness will
have hard work to get hold of her; and
as for the blues, they will not dare to 80

A NEW On REGIoN.--News has been
received of the success of the oil tests in
progress in the Cumberland mountains
in Kentucky and Tennessee. Since open
ing this section, hitherto almost unknown
by the building of the Cincinnati South
ern road through it, there has been de-
veloped Q general belief that the region
was even richer in oil than that of Penn
sylvania. One or two wells and springs
are already turning out considerable
quantities of oil, but not at accessible
points. Recently, however, since the
opening of portion OF the new railroad,
Pennsylvania parties have invested large
ly and have been engaged in sinking
wells near McKinney's, q small town on
the road, at the foot of the Cumberland
Mountains. Dispatches received say that
they have struck oil, and that in large
quantities, and that it is being brought
up by the sand-pump. Excitement is
already beginning to run high at Cincin-
natl, and investors are eagerly making
inquiries into the matter. One company
of Cincinnatians now own 100000 acres
of lands in the new oil region.

Liability Of Street-Car Conductors.

In one of the English courts recently a
case was decided 10 which the respond
ent, Bailey, was a conductor in the en-
ploy of the London Street Railroad Com
pany. It appeared that when men are
engaged as conductors by that Company,
they are required to sign contract, by
which they agree that if they break
any of the rules they shall pay $25,which
sum is deposited at the time, and any
wages which may be due, and the ques-
ton whether or not they have broken any
of the rules is left to the decision of the
company's manager. By one of the rules
a conductor is required TO punch piece
out of every ticket before giving it to a
passenger. The piece falls into recep-
tacle, which is locked, and acts as a
check on the conductor. The respondent
was discharged for an alleged breach of
this rule. He then summoned the appel
lants before Police Court, and swore that
he had not broken this rule; and an order
was made upon them for payment of the
amount claimed, on the ground that this
agreement was harsh and inequitable and
intended to oust the court of its jurisdic-
ton. The court reversed the decision OF
the magistrate, saying that although the
agreement was one-sided, there being NO
suggestion of fraud, the respondent must
be bound by that which he had agreed to-
And the provision that the decision Of
the manager should be final as to wheth'
er or not there had been any breach OF
the rules, was similar TO the clause in
building contracts, leaving the amount tc
be paid to be certified by the architect
and was not calculated TO oust the court:

RISE I'M FANCY sH0RT-HoRNs.

In an article on ssThe Extraordinary
Rise in the Price OF Fancy Short-horns," in
the North British Agricuttuaist for Sept. 70,
we find the following:
The sale of the Duke OF Devonshires
Short.horns last week will furnish matter
for one OF the most sensational chapters III
Short-horn history. The results of the sale
show plainly that agricultural depression
has not vet extended to the choicest strains
OF Short-horn blood. Nor is there any like
lihood that it will be felt there.
The herd is admittedly the best in Britain
taking it's breeding and its uniformly
good looks into account. The herd having
been so long under the skilltul eye Of MIR.
Drewry, and the animals so like their high
breeding, buyers purchase with confidence
The top figures, both for female and for
bull, were considerably higher than any
thing hitherto paid for representatives of
the Oxford tribe.
The average 1854 Is Cd head for thirty
is the highest on record, except the Dun
more sale in 1875, when thirty-nine aver
aged sS12 each. The average for females.
llowever, at Holker is the highest. The
pair of Duchess bulls at Dunmore sold re-
spectively at 5000 and 4,5OO guineas, great
ly helping the general average.
Last weeks was the fifth sale that has ta-
ken place OF animals from his grace's herd,
and the advance in price during the last
quarter of a century has been all but in
credible. The first sale was held in 1856,
when the average was only e25 2s Cd. La
1864 thirty animals were sold at the average
price of G66 3s. In 1871 there was great
advance, viz, 9240 lbs l0d tor forty-three
head; whilst at the last sale, in 1874, the
same number reached the then remarkable
average of e3s3 lbs sd. These figures
should encourage breeders to perseverc on
straight lines and generally recognized
sound principles.

NANCE ON PIGS.

Mango on pigs is caused by minute in
sect, which is probably hatchcd from eggs
adhering to the skin. There is no way OF
curing it, or of preventing its spread, ex-
cept by killing the insects and their eggs
not only on the pigs themselves, but also on
the sides OF the pens, posts, or anything
that the diseased pig rubs against. TO de-
stroy them on the woodwork, nothing is
probably SO good as petroleum, and though
we have not tried it, we have little doubt
but that it would also cure the pigs, espe-
cially if applied before the disease had made
much headway.
The disease usually manifests itself on
the skin under the armpits and thighs, and
inside the forelegs. At first, small red
blotches or pimples appear, and these gradu-
ally spread as the insects multiply and bur-
row under the skin. 1t is well to give sui
phur and other cooling medicine in the food,
but the real aim must be to kill the insect
by the prompt and continued use of carbol
ic acid, petroleum, or a strong decoction Of
tobacco. Solutions Of arsenic and corrosive
sublimate are used in severe cases, but are
dangerous articles to place in the hands OF
inexperienced persons. "Unguentum, or
mercurial ointment, is efficacious, but is not
easily applied. Harris on the Pig.

Catherine E. Beecher, the Oldest sister
of Henry Ward Beecher. died on Sunday,
at Elmira, N. Y, aged seventy-eight
years. Miss Beecher was born in 1900
and was the Oldest of a family of thirteen
children, two of whom died in infancy
When a young lady she was engaged to
Prof Fisher. of Yale college. who started
on n voyage to Europe in n vessel which
was wrecked on the south coast of Ireland.
Prof. Fisher persisted among other p.ssen
gers. His death was the cause of an en-
tire change in Miss Beecher's life. She
gave herself 10 the good of her sex. Her
first move was to establish school mt
Hartford, Conn. in which she was very
successful, and many of those who wer.
taught by her became themselves teachers.
In 1882, when her father went to Cincin-
natl. she went with him and established II
young ladies' seminary. where with n
corps of teachers, among them Mrs.
Stowe, she did good work rs an educl-
tor. She engaged in plan for supply
ing teachers to 20 out into the northwest,
which was extensive 10 its operations. 1t
furnished female teachers for western
schools. and although they did not remain
teachers long, rs most of them married
shortly after going there, they remained
there and become an element in the de-
velopment and building up of the country.
Meantime. her pen was not idle. and, she
wrote during the time about fifteen books,
all concerning female education or domes-
ITCHY. Like Mrs. Stowe. Miss Beecher
was a commandment Of the Episcopal
church. @ h1 e
