JUVENILE IHGRATITUDE.--A woman

hearted goodbye to O great cub of a six.
year.old boy who sets down her
bundles and turns TO leave the car with
a gruff grunt that may mean good bye
or anything else. There is little quiv-
er on her lip as ahe cnllS after him. !"
DO go0d boy, write 10 ms often,
and do as I tell YOU" He
never looks around as he leaves the car.
He looks Just like the kind of a boy who
will just az she tells him, but she must
be careful to tell him, to do just as he
wants to. Ihave one brightspark Of con-
ISOLATION rs the train moves on and see
that boy performing clumsy patire on
clog dance on the platform. Some OF
these days he will treat some man "a
grufy and rudely as he treats his mother.
Then the man will climb ontn him end
lick him; pound the very sawdust out OF
him. Then the world will feel better
aud happier Tor the licking no gets. It
may be long deferred, but it viii come
st last. Islmost wish had pounded him
myself, while he was young and felt able
TO do 1t. He may grow up into very
discouraging,y ragged man, extremely
difficult to lick, and tho world may have
TO wait very long time for this act Of

Can Cats Reason?

Baron Won Gleichen, a German diplo-
matist, used to tell a story of Il favorite
cat AS a proof that the feline race can
think and draw practical conclusions.
The cat was very fond of looking in mir
rOrs hung against the walls, and would
gnaw at the frames, as if longing to
know what was inside. She had, how
ever, never seen the back side of a mir
ror. One day the baron placed acheval-
glass in the middle of the room, and the
cat instantly took in the novelty of the
situation.
Placing herself in front, and seeing a
second cat, she began to run round the
mirror in search of her companion.
After running round one way several
times, she began to run the other, until
fully satisfied that there was no cat be-
side herself outside of the glass. But
where was the second catp
She sat down in front of the glass to
mediate on the problem. Evidently
inside, as she had often before imagined.
Suddenly a new thought occurred to
her. .f.-
Rising deliberately, she put her paws
on the glass in front and then behind,
walked round to the other side, and
measured the thickness in the same way.
Then she sat down again to think.
There might be a cavity inside, but it
was not large enough to hold cat She
seemed to come to the deliberate con-
clusion that there was mystery here.
but no cat, and 1t wasn't worth while to
bother about 1t. From that time the
baron said she lost all curiosity about
looking glasses.

Horses Comfort.

The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been improved bv the bet
ter construction of stables. They are
made more roomy and lofty, and pro-
vided with means of thorough ventila-
tion. In many new stables lofts are
done away with, or the floor of the lott
is kept well above the horses heads,
and ample shafts are introduced through
the lofts to convey away foul air. BY
perforated bricks and gratings under
the managers, and elsewhere round the
walls, and also by windows and venti-
lators, abundance of pure air is secured
for the horses; while being introduced
in moderate amount, and from various
directions, it comes in without draught.
Too much air is almost an unknown
stable luxury. To secure constant
supply of pure air, horses require 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 cavalry barracks give minimum
of | 500 cubic feet, with ground area of
fully ninety square feet per horse; and
the best hunting and carriage horse sta
bles have more room.-JOurndt of Chem

Pain and the Weather.

1t is familiar experience that certain
bodily pains vary in their phases accord
ing to the weather, but probably few
have made exact scientific observations
of this to any considerable extent A
series of such observations, made with
much ability and perseverance, has lately
been reported to the American Academy
of Science by Prof. Mitchell. They are
by Capt. Catlin, of the United States
Army, who lost leg during the war,
and since that time has suffered good
deal from traumatic neuralgia. He
carefully noted. during five years, the
effects produced on him by changes of
the weather. For the first quarters of
of pain; for the second quarters, 2,l02
hours; for the third quarters, 2,O56
hours; and for the last quarters, 1921
hours. The best "yield of pain" " is in
January, February and March, and the
poorest in the third quarter-July, Au
gust and September. During these five
years, while the sun was south of the
equator. there were 1852 hours of pain,
against A, l5S hours while it was north of
the equator. The average duration of
the attacks for the first quarters was
twenty-five hours, and for the third
quarters only 17.9 hours. Now, taking
the four years ending January l, 1879, it
is found that Ofthe 537 storms chartered
by the Signal Bureau, 298 belong to the
two winter quarters, against 239 for the
summer quarters. The average distance
of the storm-center at the beginning of
the neuralgia attacks was $50. miles.
Storms from the Pacific coast are felt
furthest off very soon after, or as they
are crossing the RockyFmountains, while
storms along the Atlantic coast are as
sociated with milder forms of neuralgia,
which are not felt till the storm center is
nearer. Rain is not essential in the pro-
duction of neuralgia. The severest neu-
ralgic attacks of the year were those ac-
companying the first SHOWS of Novem-
her and December. One other interest
ing observation is as follows: Every
storm sweeping across the continent con-
sists of vast rain area, at the center of
which is a moving space of greatest
barometric depression. The rain usu-
ally precedes this storm center by $50 to
600 miles, but before and around the
rain lies a belt, which may be called the
neuralgia margin of the storm, and
which precedes the rain by $50 miles.
The fact is very deceptive, because the
sufferer may be or the tar edge of storm
basin of barometric pressure, and seeing
nothing of the rain, yet have pain due to
the storm.

A Brave Little Girl.

Mr.. H. F. Gaulding has little daugh-
ter eleven years old to whose nerve and
courage he is indebted for the life of his
three-year-old boy. The boy was play
ing by the cistern in Mr.. Gaulding's
yard. There was plank off, and through
this aperture the little fellow fell. He
caught plank, however, in falling, and
held for some time before he was dis
covered. But his hold weakened, and
with a splash he fell into the cistern.
His sister saw and appreciated the stu
alton. Most girls would have screamed
and run off in quest of help. Not so
with this little girl. The screams and
struggles for life of her baby brother
gave her the strength and courage of a
man. She saw ladder, and, with all
her might, she dragged it to and placed
it into the cistern, and then went down
into the water, reached out and caught
her brother just in time to save him from
a watery grave By this time help ar
rived and both were landed safely from
their perilous position. All honor to
this little heroine !-Bainbridge (Ga.)

A Sea Serpent as Thick as a Mast,

Captain Dawson, master of the Mitsu
Bishi steamship Kiushiu Maru, gives
the following relation of what passed
before his eyes on his voyage from Riu
Kiu to Kobe. The statement is duly
signed by himself and countersigned by
Mr.. John McKechnie, the chief officer,
and its authenticity appears to be beyond
question: At Is A. NJ, Cape Satano,
distant about nine miles, the chief officer
and myself observed whale Jump clear
outsof the sea, about quarter of a mile
away. Shortly after it leaped out again,
when l saw there was something at
tached to it. Got glasses, and on the
next leap distinctly saw something hold
ing on to the belly of the whale. The
latter gave one more spring clear of the
water, and myself and the chief officer
then observed what appeared to be a
large creature of the snake species rear
itself about thirty feet out of the water.
1t appeared TO be about the thickness of
junk's mast, and after standing for
about ten seconds in an erect position, it
descended into the water, the upper end
going first. With my glasses l made
out the color of the beast to resemble
that of pilot fish.-1okio Japan)

The Emigrant.

She c1asped her hands on my arms,
She laid her cheek on my shoulder;
The tide of her tears fell warm .-. fr
On hands that trembled to hold her. ...I
whispered pitying word, ..s ,rl1u
As the ship moved slowly apart, -4
And the grief Of the friendless poured
Its choking weight on my heart.
For graves in the evening shade
We're green on far-off hill, s-E-
Where the joys of her life were laid
With love that had known no chill,
But however her heart might yearn,
We were facing the freshening breeze,
And the white wake heightened astern
On the rolling floor of the seas.
She quenched the fire Of her tears,
Uplifting her meek, brave head.
" Or dark or bright be the years,
1 will take courage" she said.
Smoothing back her loose-blowing hair,
And her shawl drawing closer the while
So she drank in the strong sea air,
And left the old shore with smile.

TIMELY TOPICS.

A telephone has been placed in the
Congregational church, at Mansfield, o.,
the wires leading to the houses of several
aged and invalid persons. 1t sur
mounts floral decoration on the table
in front of the open platform, where it
is hardly seen. The speaker pays no at
tention whatever to it, yet every word
uttered in the auditorium is easily heard
in the rooms of the dwellings which the
wires reach. The first message from
the minister was from Scripture: "The
wore is nigh unto thee" His word
runneth very swiftly"

The Subscriber.

lie SuDScTlDeTs
1t was the old subscriber,
His eyes were old and dim,
But che want takin' no paper
That was pokin' chaH at him."
For he picked his paper up one day
And it went to his heart like q rocket;
"whom the gods love, die young, it said,
But they whose hearts are dry, " he read,
"As summers dust, burn to the socket"
Then he looked through the paper with
wrath and doubt,
And his heart with anger burned;
For he found had been lett out
And he found an that was "turned."
And he lifted his voice with mighty shout
AS the sheet with his feet he spurned.
He stopped his paper; he would not read
Such a laundering villainous sheet;
Of the news it contained he had no need,
He could hear the news on the street.
Only ten days later, he sold his corn,
But he pounded his head full of dents,
When he learned, after selling for twelve
and a-hali,
1t was quoted at torty-two cents.
And his farm was sold for taxes, because
He didn't know when they were due,
And ho bet on a race three days after date,
And he bet on the wrong horse, too.
He was fined nine dollars and seventy cents
For going out shooting on Sunday,
For he did't know, with no paper to read,
Whether twas Sunday or Monday.
He came to town to the Fourth OF July,
But it had been gone for a week,
And he felt so mad, that he wanted to cry,
For he didn't know how 10 speak.
He thought that Grant WAS President yet,
And he never had heard of Hayes;
1t was worry, and blunder, and trouble, and
fret,
All OF his weary days.
So he came to town, one summer morn,
And signed" Tor his paper again,
And went back home to his wheat and corn,
The happiest man among men.

BLOODY BREATHITT.

LEXINGTON. Ky, January 1S.-The in-
formation from Breathitt county is of a
startling nature. The dark deeds that
have been perpetrated in that unhappy
country are only just coming to light.
The riot, bloody and fatal as it was,
which attracted the attention of the whole
country to jackson, is but light affair
compared with the bloody tragedies and
villainous murders that have been com.
mitted among the hills OF that wild coun-
try. Timidly the information is given
to the officers of the law, and guilty
secrets that have been kept for years are
told in whispered accents. Not only
have these noble mountaineers fought
and killed each other, but they have
waylaid, robbed. and murdered travellers
whose journey led them through the
treacGorous .aills. Major Kinney. the
prosecutor appointed by the State, learns
of men who. having lodged at certain
cabins at night, disappeared the next
day. and were never heard of again.
Their friends knew not where to enquire
for them. Dead men, buried, in Breath.
lit, tell no tales. The place is so cut of
from the rest of civilization, that it is q
cafe retreat for fugitives OF every kind.
l heard recently of young lawyer
who, having been indicted by the United
States Court, went to Breathitt, where
he lived for three years as safe from
pursuit as if he was in Africa. Bad men
could find no safer place in which to per-
petrate deeds of wickedness. 1t is esti-
mated, from facts that have recently
been put in the possession of the law
officers, that nineteen murders were com.
mitted in Breathitt during the war, and
twenty-six since the war and up to the
present time, making total of forty
five; while the men who have been badly
wounded. either in open fight or at the
hands of the assassins. number thirty.
Horrible as this record is, not one man
has been punished for any of these
crimes. Living in such impunity, it is
no wonder that they defied the laws as
too weak to cope with them. With the
assistance of the troops, the following
have been arrested and placed in Jail:
Jack, Jerry and Alfred Little, Jason
Little. the wife-murderer, Alfred Ganhill,
Breck Combe, George Haddox, Wallace
MCGUIRE and Galloway Haddox. The
troops are in pursuit of Aikman. though
up to this time without finding him.
These parties all took part in the last
riot, and are indicted for the murder Of
Judge Butnet or John Freeman, Jason
Little, it is said. besides the killing Of
his wife, is chargeabie with the knowl.
edge of how peddler suddenly disap'
peared, leaving his wares behind him.
The band of Owen county Kuklux and
highway robbers, the account OF whose
deeds, a few years ago, made blacl
page in the history of crime, were gentle
citizens compared with the desperadoes
who infest the ravines and bills o.
Breathitt. The half has not yet beer
told. To do justice to the criminals, thu
Legislature should create special Cour
for that county. which should sit con
tinuously until every one of the Williams
had been brought to justice.
