Cod Liver Oil.

A somewhat disagreable revelation
was made in Philadelphia quite recently.
One of the police detectives saw sus-
piciOus individual trudging along with a
large basket, and of course overhauled
him. Examination of the basket was
readily allowed, and it was found to
contain the rather Misunderstanding
headquarters of some animal, mingled
with masses of white fat. The man ex-
planned that the meat was dog hams
and the fat was from the same animal.
He said the hams were regularly smoked,
as pork hams were, and had extensive
sale among cOnsumptives. The fat was
tried out and converted into dog-oil,
which was a specific for consumption,
the same as cod liver oil, and besides
had considerable virtue as an outward
to shrunken sinews. The
darky said:
"Why, boss, you'd be surprised if you
knew de lot o. drug stores dat BUYS dis
yeah dog lie and porpoise lie and sell
dem for de real cod livah lie. Now dare
used to be 'pothecary ovah on Frank

Mules i'm Mines.

Colliery mules sometimes live many
years without seeing daylight, as they
are only taken out of the mines when
work is entirely suspended. The mules
are used in hauling cars of coal from
the various parts of the mine to the foot
or slope of the shaft, from where it is
hoisted to the surface by steam. The
mules 90 to work with the miners and
continue until evening. They are sta
bled in the mine and are carefully at
tended to. Strange to say, coats of
mules working in cOllieries are singular
" smooth or glossy-and miners attrib-
ute it to the coal dust that settles on the
hair and polishes it. The lead mule in
a team always carries a miners lamp
attached to his collar; but miners say
the lamp is unnecessary, as the mules
never get off the track in the dark In
some places where it is not convenient
to haul the cars, mules are trained to
push them, and it is not uncommon to
see dozen of the animals working in
that way. In pushing cars the mule is
provided with a heavy breast-pad in
stead of the ordinary harness. The
ample time mules have for reflection
does not, however, seem to improve
their dispositions, as every mining re-
port contains accounts of men and boys
who have been kicked to death or Sc
yerely injured by them. Owing to the
constant teasing of driver-boys, mules
occasionally become so savage that they
can not be approached at all.-Miner's

How Far will Bees Go for Honey?

The precise distance that bees will fly
in search of foliage, l am unable to
state. Some consider three miles to be
the extreme limit, while others place it
as high-as twelve miles. The most sat-
isfactory results may be expected if
abundant stores can be found within two
miles. 1t is evident that they will work
more freely upon blossoms at some little
distance than when these are very near
the apiary. If were to sow any thing
with view to a supply of honey, |
should prefer that it should not be in the
immediate vicinity to the hives. Their
flights are evidently modified by local
conditions. During the large yield from
Eastwood in 1874, as the blossoms failed
in the valley, the bees continued bring
ing in the same quality of honey, follow
ing the Eastwood day by day, as it
opened on the hills, until the first week
in August, when they still came in heav-
lily loaded, but very tired from a long
flight. drove to the heights, six miles
distant, and found that Eastwood was
then Just coming into bloom. imme-
diately moved 48 swarms to this location,
and in the following week these 48 colo
MES gave me one ton of surplus honey,
while the Il swarms left at home did not
secure one-half that amount, yet they
continued working upon the same ground
during the entire period. This is a fine
illustration of the advantage of obtain
ing forage within reasonably short dis
lance. l have never had direct proof to
the effect, yet there is ground for the
belief, that, if honey could not be found
nearer, bees would not fly the distance
named without being gradually led along
by newly opening blossoms, as in the
case mentioned Quin6y's NeV Bee

KNITTING.

Knitting gaily in the sunshine,
While the fragrant roses blow,
And the light wind stiTs the petals,
Till they fan like fakes of snow;
Laughing gladly, glancing shyly,
At the lover by her side
Sauc-T dimples, coy confessions,
All a maiden's love and pride; IT.
Weaving in with skillful fingers
Girlish fancies, pure desires,
While the brightness of the future
Flashes through the twinkIing wires,
And a young hearts fond ambitions,
Tender hopes, and golden dreams,
Deepen as the sunlight deepens,
With it, thousand darts and CLEANS.
knitting silent in the shadows,
With a dropping, weary head,
Gazing out into the twilight,
Whence the light and life have fed.
Moving nerveless, languid fingers;
Striving to be bright in vain,
And to still the hearts wild fiutter,
ThrObbing in it's mighty pain;
Working through the silky texture,
All woman's anguished fears,
Looking out on past and future,
Through a mist of burning tears.
knitting patient in the twilight,
Quietly bearing all her woe,
While the roses shed their petals
In fragrant Summer-snowi
Knitting fiercely, in the anguish
OF a burning, fiery strife;
Or quietly in the sunlight
OF calm hearts happy life.
Knitting heavily and slowly,
In LIES last fitful hours;
Or skllfully and gaily,
Among the summer flowers!
Weaving i'm a glorious future,
Or SOUPS dumb aching pain,
With the memory of pleasures
That viii never come again.
Thus a woman's life is bounded
by the humble, daily task,
Meekly taking mp her burden,
Pausing not TO strive or ask.
All how many hearts beside us
Were we not so worldly wise,
Might we see in gentle moments,
Looking out from wistful eyes!
And how often, did we listen.
Meath gay and laughing tone,
Could we hear the bitter yearning
of strong hearts restless moan.

AN EMPTY HONOR.
Prince Plon Plon Declared the Head oi

Prince Plon Plon Declared the Head of
the Bonaparte Family.
Paris, July 22.-At the Bonapartist
caucus, on Saturday, only "a senators
and deputies out of 115 were present,
and, with only two dissenting, a reso-
luton was finally adopted declaring
Prince Jerome the head of the Bona
parte family. Twenty-Five of those
present had previously supported an
amendment, which was out-voted, de-
clinipg to pronounce on the question
as beyond jurisdiction of the meeting,
and affirming their sentiments of fidel-
ity to the empire and the principles of
the order which have always inspired
its policy. AS this amendment implied
censure on the antecedents of Prince
Jerome, the feelings with which he is
regarded by large section of the Bona
partist party are pretty apparent.
Many senators and deputies remained
away to avoid committing themselves
to his recognition.
Paul De Cassagnac in his Journal
accuses Prince Jerome of entertaining
a fear of exile which deters him from
issuing manifesto.

Poughkeepsie, July PA series of
severe thunder storms prevailed along
the Hudson this afternoon. This even-
ing lightning struck a shoe factory
owned by John o. Whitehouse, and in
short time 1t was entirely destroyed
by fire. 1t was the largest manufac-
tory in the city and employed about
four hundred hands. The falling walls
crushed the engine room and buried
George Morgan, the engineer, in the
ruins. He was taken out alive, but
died soon after. 1t is reported that
several firemen were hurt. Whitehouse
being absent, the loss cannot be ascer-
tained, but it is estimated at $3.50, 900;
insurance not known.

The zulus about to Surrender.

London, July 22.-The correspond
ent with Gen. Crealock telegraphs that
eight chiefs with their followers have
sent in intimations that they would
surrender. 1t is anticipated that the
king will retire into the inaccessible
bush, but it is certain that his army
will refuse to follow If he attempts to
do so. The Amatonga tribes are threat
ening the Zulus, and the kings pros
poets are gloomy. We have in camp
1900 Zulus who have surrendered. The
power of the Zulus appears to be crumb-
ling and submissions are made hourly.
In the house of lords to-day the gov
ernment announced that Lord Chelms-
ford, in negotiations with King Cete-
wayo, had consented to receive from
him 1000 rifles, instead of the condition
that the Zulus should lay down their
arms.

AN UNLIKELY STORY.
Renewed Persecution of III. lew

Renewed Persecution of the Jews.
New York, July %. The war against
the Jews which was carried on at Sara
toga two years ago is apparently to be
revived at Coney Island. This time it
is in quarter where the Jewish resi-
dents of New York City are particular
ly aimed at. Several days ago rumor
was circulated to the effect that Austin
Corbin, president of the Manhattan
Beach company, had taken an open
stand against admitting Jews to the
beach or hotel. This report was, on
Sunday, strengthened by a statement
from Gilmore, leader of the Manhattan
beach band, who said that Corbin had
told him he was going to oppose the
Jews, and that he would rather ''sink"
two millions invested in the railway
and hotel than have a single Israelite
take advantage of its attractions. Cor
bin, on being interviewed, substantial
ly confirmed the stories.

Double Suicide


Chicago, July pa distressing and
mysterious double suicide occurred last
night at Hyde Park, southern suburb
of this city, the particulars Of which
only transpired this morning. Three
maiden sisters, named Elizabeth, Anna
and Nora Trowbridge, aged respective
ly 43, 40 and 30 years, have been living
for many years in good style in that
town upon revenues derived from an
estate left by their mother. Recently
their father has succeeded in getting
their entire property away, and has
left them penniless. When they be-
came fully aware of this state of affairs
they decided to die together, and spent
Sunday and Monday In preparing for
death. They nailed up the doors and
windows, and the two oldest sisters,
with most careful preparation, drove
spikes on either side the easement Of
the folding doors, adjusted small hemp
en- cords about their necks, and, kick
ing from beneath their feet the books,
piled on ottomans and chairs, quietly
strangled to death. The younger sis
ter, Nora, who is dwarf, remained in
the meantime in an upper chamber,
and, although this was done at six
o'clock Monday night, she first gave
warning at nine o'clock, and the bodies
were not cut down until midnight. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
she could be induced to tell her story,
and she told 1t in so disconnected and
rambling way, that its accuracy is
even now doubted. She is in a state
bordering on insanity. In her chamber
was found knife of razor sharpness,
and slip of paper on which was writ
ten 1--WE must nail up the doors.'' The
trio have always been regarded as very
erratic, and, although nothing has been
known against their character, they
have been known to hold noisy and dis
turbing midnight orgies, which are
now regarded as an evidence of long
standing insanity.
MT. IrowDrldge, the rather, who was
so severely denounced by his daughter
Nora as the real cause of their misfor-
tunes, is said by those who know the
circumstances, to have deserved no
snch harsh words. He has managed
the property of his daughters for them,
and they have been well and literally

that their already erratic minds dwelt
upon this belief SO constantly that they

their own house, so that their fear Of
starvation or beggary was not well
grounded
