A Dog $ Memory.

There is a well-knOwn story of muir
dtrer being discovered by a dog flying
ST his throat and bearing him 10 the
ground, when he confessed that he had
murdered the ANIMALS m -ster. The story
is matched by one told in Lgnd and Water
Of Nelson, black spaniel.
One night the dog was missing from
his favorito corner, and nothing for sever
al weeks could be heard of him, not
withstanding tie most searching in
ouirIes. After the family had retired to
rest, ore n lsersble winter night, the we'll
known bark of old Nelson was heard at
the door,
He was soon admitted to the coy
Quarters, supplied with food, which he
ate with many grateful wag of his tail,
and looked mere bag of bones in com
parjson with his former self, besides be-
ing very lame.
A neighbor came IN and inquired il
Nelson had arrived, as he met him on
the previous day at Macclesield, eighteen
miles from Manchester. The driver OF
the mail-cart had also seen him at Derby,
and gave him feed of milk and oat

An Unnatural Father.

We take the following interesting in
cident from an article in Scribners OF
Eugene Scribe, the French playwright:
One day Dupin brought Scribe a new
piece. The latter read 1t and thought il
detestable; still there was the germ of q
good play in it. 1t interested him, and
he worked rapidly. 1t was IN two acts
He made it a one-act piece, added Q
character, changed the other characters
entirely, without saying anything to
Dupin, and put it in rehearsal. In three
weeks it was ready for performance. The
evening it was to be brought out he in
vited Dupin to dinner. As they took
seats at the table, he said
Let us lose no time, my dear fellow,
for | want you to go with me to the gym
nase. l have a ground-foor box, the
front seats of which have been taken, so
that, screened by those spectators, we
shall be unseen
"Oh is Michel at Christine by your
Eyes"
"All alonel"
"No; there are two of u.s."
"Who is the otherf"
any dear fellow, let us lose no time.
1t is already late: the play begins carly"
Dinner was merrily dispatched. They
reached the gymnase in time. The cur
tain soon rose. At the close of the third
scene, Dupin said to Scribe.
"My dear fellow, what charming
play you have written. pom my word,
you have put ON the stage no better char
acters than that soldier and that bar maid.
How fascinating they are!"
AS the play went on, Dupin's delight
continued to increase, and he warmly
expressed it to Scribe. who archly smiled
and said:
Surely you now know who wrote
the piece with mel'
III have not the reinotest idea. But
beg of you, silence. l don't want to lose
one word of the piece. 1t is chsrming!"
Scribe smiled Presently Dupin turned
to him and asked:
"Do YOU remember the piece | carried
you three weeks since2 Now it seems to
me this scene Is s0mewhst like the second
act of the piece | left with you. Have
you read it'll Do you agree with met"
Scribe answered:
"Ohl if you think there is the least
plagiarism, we will rewrite that scene"
"Heaven forbid! Men continually hit
upon the same ideas. Tine collisions of
lie are constantly striking similar sparks
from different fints But you have not
yet told me the name OF your partner.
"Sh---i the curtain is about to fail.
We shall hear his name.'
Presently the curtain came down amid
applause which shook the theater to its
The curtain rose. The
came forward to announce
the authors. Dupin bent forward in
eager attention.
''Ladies and gentlemen, the piece we
have had the honor to play before You is
by Messrs. Scribe and--Dupin."
The next instant Dupin held Scribe in |
his arms and embraced him. Scribe ex-
claimed:

Dupin reioined:

This subject has now been put to the test
of chemical analysis, and the result is that
the evenings milk is found to be the richer.
Professor Boedeker aualyzed the milk of a
healthy COW at different periods of the day
The professor found that the solids OF the
evenings milk thirteen per cent?; exceed.
ing that of the moring (ten per cent?, while
the water contained in the fluid was dimin-
ished from eighty-nine per cent TO eighty
six per cent. The fatty matter gradually in
creases as the day progresses. In the morn
ing it amounts to two and one. quarter per
cent, at noon three and one-half per cent,
ard in the evening five and three-quarters
per cent The practical importance OF this
discovery is at once apparent; it develops
the fact that while sixteen ounces of mora
ng's milk will yield but one-half ounce OF
butter. about double the quantity can be OBJ
taincd from the evenings milk. The casein
is also increased in the evenings milk from
two and oue-quarter II two and three
quarters per cent. but the albumen
is diminished from 44-l00th per cent to
b! tooth per cent Sugar is least abundant

Health of Hers~s.

From the Journal OF Chemistry,
The health and comfort of horses have OF
late years been greatly improved by the bet
ter construction of stables. They are made
more roomy and lofty, and provided with
means of thorough ventilation. In many new
stables lofts are done away with, or the floor
of the loft is kept well above the horses
heads, and ample shafts are introduced to con-
yey away foul air. By perforated bricks and
gratings under the managers, and elsewhere
round the walls, and also by windows and
vcntilators, abundance OF pure air is secured
for the horses; while being introduced In
moderate amount, and from various directions,
il comes in without draught. Too much air
is almost an unknown stable luxury. To Sc
cure constant supply of pure air, horses re
quire more cubic space than they generally
enjoy. Even when animals are stabbed only
at night, minimum of 1900 cubic feet
should be allowed. In England the newer
caval9y barracks give minimum Of J, 800 cubic
fest, with ground area of fully 90 square
feet per horse; and the best hunting and car
riage horse stables have more ROOM
