Strange Murder Agents,

The reported attempt of the king of
Burmah to procure the murder of the
claimant of his crown is a fair sample
of the way in which state questions are
settled in the east, where political assas-
sination has for ages been one of the re-
cognized functions of government. The
commonest method of accomplishing this
is, of course, by armed violence; but
where this happens to be impracticable,
other and yet darker means are en-
ployed. One of the most singular of
these is to mix with the doomed mans
food a tigers whiskers chopped small,
which, from the internal inflammation
caused by them, make the victims death
merely a question of time. The same
result is produced by the employment of
diamond-dust, device which received
unexpected publicity three OF four years
ago, in consequence of the attempt made
by the late gaekwar of Baroda upon the
life of Colonel Phayre, the British resi-
dent at his court. But the.most formida-
BILE of all these hidden weapons is the
subtle poison extracted from the COM
mon thorn apple. which attacks the mind
instead of the body, and which, admin
istered in doses too small for detection,
has converted many brave and gifted
leader into gihbering idiot.

queen of society. She did not pretend
to care for the stout, stupid, brusque
man of business who supplied her purse,
but ran wild course of folly and fashion
year after year, as only a loveless and
childless woman can. Ten years after
his marriage Philip met her, faded,
rouged, overdressed; her laugh false and
hollow, her smile forced. the childish
ringlets waving in soft mockery about
the worn face, and even her smile me-
chanical. His heart reverted with n
glad leap to the wife he had left at
home, calm, sweet-faced, gracious wo-
man, with lovely children c1inging about
her, the color of health and happiness
richly glowing on her cheek, and the
love and admiration of all who knew
her making halo about her noble char
acter. He owned to that remorseless in
quisitor, his own heart, that he had in
deed made the best of it in fuller sense
than the poor allowance of the proverb,
that Anne was as far beyond Nan as the
star beyond the clod, and that the true
failure of his life would have been the
result of the success he had longed for
and missed. Yet all his life he hated
the smell Of German cologne.-Harper'S

DIR. Rabelais' Free Journey.

The learned and famous Frenchman
DR.. Rabelais, once found himself in Mar
seilles without money. He wished to
travefto Paris, but could not contrive a
way to do so. At last, however, he hit
upon plan.
He started one first of April carrying
with him some full phials labeled poi
son for the King and the Royal Family. "
At the city gates, according to the Gus
tom in those days, the traveller was
searched, and these suspicious-looking
bottles were found, as he intended. The
officials were herrified, and they prompt
ly arrested him and hurried him off as
q state prisoner to Paris, there to be tried
for treason.
Not long after his arrival Rabelais and
his bottles were taken before the judges.
Then the doctor, who was very well
known as wit, made little explana-
tion, showed that the phials contained
nothing but brick-dust, and was at once
released-the court, the accusers, the
lookers-on, and all Paris convulsed with
laughter at the joke.-&. Nicholas.

A Japanese Fable.

Once upon a time, on the shady side
a hill near the sea-shore, there lived q
crab. One day he found some boiled
rice, and set off home with it; but on his
way was spied by monkey. The mon-
key offered to exchange the seed of
persimmon, the fruit Of which he had
nearly finished eating, for the rice. This
the crab accepted on condition that the
monkey had not injured it with his
teeth. The exchange made, JockO de-
voured the rice, but the crab planted the
seed in his garden. A long time after
ward, the monkey happening to pass the
same spot, was surprised to see a fine
tree laden with fruit, and his friend the
crab sitting on the balcony of a nice new
house, admiring his fruit tree. The
monkey being hungry, begged the crab to
allow him to eat some of the fruit. But
the crab apologized, saying that his friend
would be quite welcome to some of the
fruit. but he could not climb the tree to
gather it. The monkey declared his
ability to climb if the crab would allow
him to try; to which the owner of the
tree consented, stipulating that he should
So up the monkey clambered and ate rs
fast as he could. selecting the hsst and
ripest fruit, but was too greedy to notice
the crab, who was waiting patiently
below. At length the crab, losing pa
tience, accused the monkey of being a bad
and deceitful fellow; upon which the
monkey got angry, pelted the poor crab,
and broke his shell. The crabs friend,
the wasp, coming by, attacked the mon
key and stung him SO severely that
Jocko scampered away frightened. The
wasp sent for his friends Egg and Nor
tar, and, after due deliberation, they
made it up amongst them to punish
,Jocko. They arranged that Egg should
explode if put on the fire, the wasp
should sting Jocko, and Mortar, placed
on the roof, should roll off upon his
head as he ran out of the door. The
next day the monkey being hungry,
called at the crabs house to apologize,
and beg another dinner of fruit; but,
Seeing no person in the house, he entered |;
and finding a nice large egg on tray, he
put it on the fire to roast it, as he could
not manage raw eggs so well as hard
cooked ones. Presently the egg exploded
violently and scattered the hot cindcrs
over Jocko. who ran into the next room
bowling with pain; but the wasp flew
out of corner and stung him so badly
that he rushed out of the house, fright
ened and almost mad with pain, when
down dropped the mortar upon his head
and killed him.
Moral-Cunning and greedy people
rarely gain much, and ungrateful ones
are generally punished in the end.

A Singing Book.

is the singing book, now philosophical
toy. Thanks to M. Pollard, navy en-
gineer of Cherbourg, it is within every
intelligent persons reach. You place
Il small book on the table, the floor OF q
chimney-piece, and presently it distinct
ly emits songs, sacred and profane, or
duets by, Il piano, or harp and violin
solos. The book is composed of ordinary
paper, leaves of the latter, alternating
with some of tin. The metal leaves are
united, the last two with an electric cur
rent, forming thus condenser. The
top and bottom sides of the volume COM
municate with an electric wire running
along the wall, but concealed, and ter
minating in pile in another ROOM,
where the speaker or the singer, etc,
"deposits" the sounds of his voice in
wooden mouthpiece containing metal
plate and a stylus, which, touching
spring, sets free the electric currents and
transmits the sound to the book, where
it is repeated-a phenomenon not yet
capable of being satisfactorily explained.

Where the trust is truest,

The discovery of petroleum has saved
many penny to the poor by bringing
light to their houses at a low price. But
in some of the towns of the petrl - n
districts, the new discovery is also MADE
to serve rs fuel In Fast Livoni.l, Ohio,
the gas wells seem to hold an inrXhaust-
ible supply. An extensive system Of
piping carries the gas into the houses,
where, in stoves properly constructed,
it does all the cooking and warming.
Many families in the place use no otEer
fuel than this gas. They find i, adequate
for all their needs. In the street lamps
by night, because it costs more to turn it
off than to consume it. Great pottery
manufactures are carried on in the town,
the gas supplying all the heat. AS the
wells have been in use twenty years with
out any sign of exhaustion, the people
feel no anxiety about their future supply.
East Livonia is good place to emigrate
to when gas bills grow burdensome.
a mound similar to those SO common
in the Western States was recently found

that country. That the Omori mound
was not tomb was sufficiently shown
by the fact that the skeletons found in it
were never complete, and that the bones
lay about in disorder, and in no relation
to each other, whereas the bones of
buried bodies would be found approXi-
mately in some position possible in life.
Moreover, the human bones were found
among those of other animals, and, like
them, were broken into lengths conven-
lent for cooking and eating, and were
deeply scratched in those portions, such
as the joints, from which the eater would
find most difficulty in removing the flesh.
The discovery is a curious one, as it is
the first indication of cannibalism among
a people whose characteristics as at pre-
sent known strongly negative the prac-
tice by them of SO horrible custom.
But similar evidence was held by archie
elogists sufficient to prove the former ex-
istence of cannibals in North America.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Herr Krupp, the famous German gun
maker, has just eclipsed all his former
efforts by constructing a new steel can
non, which is the largest piece of steel
ordnance yet made. 1t weighs seventy
two tons, is thirty-two feet long, and has
caliber Of twenty-one and three-fourth
inches, while that of the English eighty
ton guns has only eighteen inches. The
charge for this monster gun is to be 1856
lbs. of prismatic powder, the projectile
being a chilled iron shell weighing l,660
pounds and having bursting. charge OF
twenty-five pounds of powder. The
force of the shot on leaving the gun is
estimated at $1,000 foot-tons, and it is
calculated that when pointed at an angle
of forty-three degrees with the horizon
the gun will throw its projectile dis
tance of fifteen miles.
The last circular of the Illinois State
board of agriculture gives the following

most articles of merchandise, as may be

Some barren land near the city of
Dantzig was irrigated by sewage from
the city. The potato crop grown upon
this land averaged Sixteen and one half
tons to the acre. This result led the ex-
perimenter to contract with the munich
pal authorities of Breslau, city of about
two hundred and fifty thousand inhabi-
tants, to remove its sewage during twelve
years, and with it he intends to irrigate
for his own profit about three Thousand
acres of land.

The late Admiral Goldsborough
was one OF the most uncivil officers in
the navy. 1t is related of him that he
once found in his room the card of a
young man attached to the diplomatic
corps, who had called during the Ad-
miraPs absence. Not long after, the
young man accosted him on the street
and asked: Did you get my card,
Admiralp He shouted ont Eyes!
and what's the meaning Of e. p. that
you wrote on itp'' why, that means
en- perso'a'ac, that is, / called in person.
g 1t does, ehr' said the Admiral, who
went off in o mood of disguised medi-
tatiOn. In a few days he returned the
call by sending his card around by q
messenger, first writing s. B. N. in one
corner. Again the two met. "You
received my card, did youp'' inquired
the Admiral. Yes, and what does
S. B. N. mean2'' asked the polite young
man. "Sent by negro!" Numbered
the Admiral.
