Vegetable Milk.

Among the exhibits at the French
exhibition were several TASKS of vege-
table milk, sent there by the Venezuelan
Government. These have been careful
ly analysed by M. Bou ssingault, and in
a paper descriptive of his labors which
he sent to the Academy of France, the
astonishing statement is made that this
fluid, in its constituent parts, is not
only like cows milk, but in some respects
is decided improvement on that article.
1t contains fatty matter, sugar, caseine,
and phosphates; but the relative pro.
portions of these substances are such
that the fluid has all the richness and
nutritive qualities of cream. M. Bous-
singault says that this vegetable milk
was spoken of by Humboldt, who, in
his travels in South America, had
several opportunities of tasting it and of
witnessing the methods adopted by the
natives for collecting it. The trees of
which this is the sap grow upon the
sides of mountain chains in Venezuela.
The Indians 60 each morning to the trees
nearest to their settlements and cut in
them deep missions, from which the milk
pours out in such quantities that in an
hour or two quite large vessel is filed
with the fluid. This is taken back to
the village, and forms staple article of
food for both old and young.

This mule looked like he was 10;
years old, and was dead standing upon
bis feet. He was hitched to pine
bodied spring-wagon, with high dash
board. The team was standing on
the levee in mute silence, while the old
darkey who driv it went aboard the
wharfboat A tramp could make barrel
of money selling pictures of that mule,
labeled patience" His long, fabby
ears hung down each side of his head
like window-awnings with the rods ort
of them. His face wore sober looR.
while out of his mouth hung a tongue
eight inches long. His tail swung down
from the rear end of his hurricane roof
like wet rope, while his whole body
seemed as motionless as death itself
Presently red-headed urchin, with an
old boot in his hand, walked up in front
of him, and, looking into his face, saw
that the mule was asleep. He walked
around, climbed up into that wagon
leaned over the dashboard, lifted that
mules tail, and let it come down in time
to catch death-grip on that bootleg
That mule woke up so quick that he
kicked the boy and the dashboard
twenty feet into the air. He didn't
stop there. He changed the positions
of his ears, hauled in his tongue, plant
ed his fore feet, and his head between
his knees, and from the fore shoulders
to the tip of his trunk was in lively
motion, and he didn't look like he was
more than years old, the way he was
kicking that old wagon body into kind
ing-wood with his heels. He had it all
to himself, and was doing fine, when
the old darkey rushed up the hill, got in
front of him, and, grabbing him by
each ear, shouted, whoa! tell you
Watts de matter wild you? Whoa-up?"
and, looking around at the crowd, yelled,
will some O. yer gemmen git dat er

when we left his heels had almost
reached the tail-gate, and the old darkey
was still yelling Whoap-Louisuilte

The Two Sisters.

This pair inhabited a single room |;
from the facts, it must have been double
bedded; and it may have been of some
dimensions; but when all is said, it was
single room. Here our two spinsters
fell out-on some point of controversial
divinity belize, but fell out 80 bitterly
that there was never a word spoken be-
tween them, black or white, from that
day forward. You would have thought
they would separate; but no; whether
from lack of means, or the Scottish fear
of scandal, they continued to keep
house together where they were. A
chalk line drawn upon the floor separat-
ed their two domains; it bisected the
doorway and the fireplace, so that each
could go out and in aud do her cooking
without violating the territory of the
other. So, for years, they co-existed in a
h teful silence; their meals, their ablu-
tions, their friendly visitors, exposed to
an unfriendly scrutiny, and at night, in
the dark watches, each could hear the
breathing of her enemy. Never did four
walls look down upon an uglier spectacle
than these sisters rivaling in unsisterli.

Slightly Mistaken.

The Newburyport Herald says a good
story is told in connection with the
temperance campaign in Ipswich.
During one of the most exciting even
ings, and while the lady canvassers were
about the hall with "cards and blue
ribbons" a good looking gentleman
entered the meeting a little heated,
probably from rapid walking. One of
the ladies approached him with an invi-
tation to sign the pledge, remarking that
his countenance indicated the necessity
for action in that direction. He replied
that he had signed twenty times before,
and didn't believe that their was any
particular need of pledging himself again.
" Well" she replied, you may have
signed it as many times as you state, but
you have broken the pledge as often, /
dare say. Your face looks very red, sir;
altogether too red for a temperance
man." Madam, you are greatly mis-
taken in your conclusions; 1 am pastor
OF one of the Oldest Congregational
churches in the state"

Recreant Turks.

Not few of the Turkish officers TAX
en- prisoners during the late war have
accepted service in the armies of their
conquerors. The terms offered them
were liberal and they felt no scruple
aboat accepting them. Most of them
are to be sent to the Caucasus. Moth

privates to follow the example of their
chiefs. The infcriority of the Turkish
officer to the Turkish private soldier in

A Game Of Chess on the Ice.

Thirty years ago this February, on
the frozen Nemahbin lake, near Nasho-
tab Theological Seminary, in Delafeld,
twenty-eight miles west of Milwaukee,
sixty-four squares were marked off upon
the ice, each ten feet square, the snow
being scraped off from the alternate
squares, and game of chess was played,
with thirty-two young men and two
young ladies acting as pieces, and each
one moving as directed by the king of
the side to which he belonged. The
two young ladies were the queens.
Most of the other pieces" were students
at "the Mission" as the Nashotah in
stitution was called in those days,
though many were farmers sons and
other young men of the neighborhood,
one of them the district schoolmaster at
Summit corners. One of the kings was
the lovable pioneer Christian hero, the
Rev. Lloyd Breck; the other was mere
youth, named Ammi Hawks, son of a
hotel-keeper at Delafeld village. Won

was a clever player, and kept the wise
old priests wits at work all the after
noon; but the latter finally fastened
them to a single square, when "the
shades of night were falling fast" and
all but themselves and two or three of
the knights and castles had been killed
off. The writer hereof was humble

stomach made it happy disaster when

VIII Blood Tell

DIR. Heitzman, of New York, makes
the announcement that a drop of a
mans blood placed under the micro
scope will tell just what his condition
and constitution may be. After pro-
tracted study of blood corpuscles he has
come to the conclusion that an abun
dance of large granules go with a good
constitution; on the other hand, if the
granules were few and fine, or the en-
tire body of the corpuscle pale, it was
evidence of a poor constitution. He
frequently noticed that the number of
white blood corpuscles was considerably
increased after single sleepless night,
SO much so that it might be determined
whether a man had been kept from his
rest t@not by examination of his blood.
1t could also be determined whether a
man was to have acute diseases, or
whether he was to suffer from the slow
processes of diseases incident to a
strumous diathesis." The Scientific
american says a committee of physi-
clans has been appointed to investigate
and report on this most promising sub
ject. If it proves possible to determine
a mans physical constitution by the ex-
animation Of drop of his blood, new
field of investigation will be opened,
and one having very important practi-
cal bearings.

How to Cnra Snoring.

One of the simplest and at the same
time most effectual remedies against
snoring is to place a thin, oval-shaped
piece Of silver or hard rubber, between
three and four inches in length and
one and half inches in width, formed
so as to fit the jaws comfortably, be-
tween the lips and the gums. By this
simple appliance the breath is forced
through the nostriIs, and, aside from
being a preventive against snoring, it
keeps the throat and tongue moist in
stead of being dry and parched as when
air is inhaled into the mouth and throat.
Tf the mouth is kept slsdt all trouble
about snoring win be removed.

Founder Of the knights Of Prthins.

The visit to New York of Justus Fl.
Rathbone, the founder of the order of
the Knights of Pythias and Senior Past
Supreme Chancellor of the order, has
awakened much interest among the Off
GERS and members for this section. Mr..
Rathbone has not yet reached the prime
of life, being just 80. He was born of
Deerfoot, N. Y; is tall but not too stout,
and likely to live to a good old age. He
tells many stories about his tours in the
West, where the lodges he visited looked
Tor a patriarch, and hardly believed the
young man before them was the orig
inator of their order. Concerning the
founding of the order, Mr.. Rathbone
says that when he was 19 he was teach
ing school in Michigan. The boys were
anxious to get up sort of a dramatic
entertainment, but lacked ladies to take
the female parts. To overcome this
they wrote to dramatic agency in New
York to send them plays with as few
female characters as possible. One of
those sent happened to be Damon and
Pythias," and while reading it over
young Rathbone thought he saw good
chance for a secret brotherly organize
tion. He Immediately wrote out the
ritual, which he carried in his pocket
for some years. During 1854 he was
stationed in Washington as a military
attache to the War Department. He
gathered few clerks of the different
departments together on the evening of
Feb. Is, and after duly binding them to
secrecy read the ritual of the knights of
Pythias, which pleased them so much
that they Immediately began to found. a
lodge. Then came jealousies and con-
tentions, which threatened at times to
sap the growth of the body. Mr.. Rath-
bone fought against odds, and finally
succeeded in overcoming his opponents.
Now the order numbers 10000 mem
berg and has 81 grand lodges, besides a
supreme lodge. The initials of the or
der are F. @. B.-meaning Friendship,
Charity, Bepevoience." ."-Ne10 York
