The powers of memory of a horse
were illustrated at Rochester, n. Y,
the other day, when the driver of a
hook and ladder trnck tried an expert
ment to test them. Three and a half
years ago the city sold a team of horses
that had been used for drawing this
and sincethen they have been employed
in different work. The other day the
driver took the horses into the truck
house and turned them loose, where
upon each went directly to his W
stall, and when the gong was sounded
ran out and took their accustomed posi-
ton at the tongue of machine.
South Florida has had no rain from
March to June and the crops and gar
dens were all dried up, when on the 9th
ult. a series of showers began and last
ed heavily for a week. The orange,
lemon, lime, citron and guava trees
failed when just beginning to blossom
and at last, in June, three months be-
midland, when the rain came they all
burst out into renewed bloom, filling
the air with sweetness and the eye with
beauty. 1t is said by ''old residentersp
that the fruit will mature, though late
not till next February and March-and
that it will be of a superior quality.
The summer in South Florida has been
unusually cool; only one day up to 800;
and the nights are about the same as
they are in Connecticut at this season.

The Ne'er.do-W Wells OF Washington.

There is always an inevitable token
that you have arrived in Washington.
Your bosom friend may not know of
your coming, but the ne'er-do-well has
found it out. There are more ne'er-do-
wells to an acre in Washington than you
can find in the same space in any other
city in this continent. Here they mus
ter and concentrate. It is not strange.
Here only are the great granaries of the
government, at whose everfowing cribs
they hope to have a chance to feed. The
people who have nearly but never quite
succeeded, and who hope for the one
more final chance; the people who have
failed utterly, and are seeking o last
cover; the people whose feathery brains
culver with mighty schemes, which, in
their judgment, need nothing but Gin
huence" and san appropriation" to set
them ahoat for the whole worlds bene-
fit, they all come here, and sooner or
later they will come to you. At the cad
of six months you suddenly ask your
befogged brain what is the matter. Is
it tired with study? with taking in men
tai treasure? with giving out intellectual
stores to replenish mankind? Nothing
of the sort. You have not added one
iota to the worlds riches, nor are you
likely to till you can breathe in a clearer
and brighter atmosphere. You are
simply worn out listening to miserable
peoples miserable wants-wants that in
the final jam you can neither help nor
hinder. The one verse OF scripture that
You neve forget is: 1.-THE whole crea-
ton groaned and travaileth together
until now" You are sure Of that,

Nihilist Industry.

The ingenuity of the Russian Nihilists
is amazing. They have succeeded in
smuggling regular files of their revolu-
tionary papers into the political prison
at Odessa, where three hundred of their
friends are confined, and the officials
have been forced to forbid the reading
of literature of all kinds in the cells. A
government official was recently travel
ing from st. Petersburg to Odessa,
where he was to take part in a criminal
process instituted against certain Nihil-
lists. He received a warning from the
revolutionary tribunal not to meddle in
the affair, but, not needing this advice,
proceeded on his journey, Arrived at
Odessa, he could not find his trunk,
which was somehow missing from the
baggage.wagon. After some delay, how
ever, it was found. It had been opened,
and although none of it's marketable
contents had been %abstracted, the papers
relating to the pending trial had all dis.
appeared. In their place the procurer
found O letter from the secret govern
ment, blaming him for having neglected
their well-meant caution, and informing
him that as his conduct had not been in
any other respect reprehensible, the ex-
ecutive committee contented itself with
depriving him of the papers connected
with the trial in which he was engaged.
The new chief OF the gendarme, General
Drentein, has entered upon his duties
at st. Petersburg, but his head cannot
rest easy on his shoulders. He has al
ready received notices from the Nihilists
that it will be we'll for him to prepare
for death. When he appears in the
streets the Cossack patrols are doubled.

How tO Cook a Husband.

The first thing to be done is to catch
him. Having done so, the mode of
cooking him so as to make q good dish
is as follows: Many good husbands
are spoiled in cooking. Some women
keep them constantly in hot water,
while others freeze them with conjugal
col3ness; some smother them with
hatred and cor ~sntion, and still others
keep them in pickle all their lives.
These women always serve them up
with tongue sauce. Now it is not sup
posed that husbands will be tender and
good if treated in this way; but they
ere, on the contrary, very delicious
when managed as follows: Get o large
jar, called tie jar of carefulness (Which
all good housewives have on handl,
place your husband in it, and set him
near the fire of conjugal love; let the
fire be pretty hot, especially let it be
clear; above all, let the heat be con-
slant, cover him over with affection and
subsection; garnish him with spices of
pleasantly, and if you add kisses and
other CONNECTIONS, let them be accom-
panied with a sufficient portion of Sc
crccy, mixed with prudence and modera.

4 Spanish Execution.

An execution by the garrote, although
accredited with being mercifully pain
less, is certainly awful to behold. The
place of execution in Madrid is accessi-
Bile to the public, and the occasion is OF
equal interest with a day at the bull
ring. Everything connected with this
ceremony of death is viewed with NOR
bid horror by the Spaniards, because of
ancient Oriental prejudices of pollution.
All actually employed in the operation
are accounted Infamous, and lose their
caste and purity OF blood. Even the
gloomy scaffold on which the culprit is
strangled is usually erected in the night,
and by unseen hands. It rises from the
earth like q fungus.work of darkness.
Execution by hanging was graciously
abolished by Ferdinand VII. It is Ger.
tainly more in accordance with the semi.
Oriental nature of the Spanish people,
which leads them to tenderly respect the
bowstring. All that Cervantes, from his
sad experience, pictured a prison to be,
it is to-day; nil that he said OF the NOR
bid love OF his countrymen for the hor-
rible or the ludicrous, is equally true
now. The crowd that assemblies inst
beyond the crowd of gendarmes 60 to
see how the criminal will conduct him
self. They sympathize with him if he
displays bravado or courage, and they
desrise him on the least symptom of
unmanliness. At the fatal hour the Gull
prit appears, usually clad in q coarse
yellow baize gown-the color in which
the Spanish school Of painters robe the
special object of their contempt, Judas
Iscariot. The scaffold having been
mounted, the culprit is placed on q rude
seat. His back leans against a strong
upright post, to which IN iron collar is
attached, inclosing his neck, and so con-
trived as to be drawn home by turning
q powerful screw behind the post. The
arms and legs of the culprit are tightly
bound. When oil is ready the execu-
TONERS takes the screw in both hands,
gathers himself up for a powerful mus.
cular effort, and, at the moment of o
preconcerted signal, draws the iron col
lar, tight, while an attendant filings q
black handkerchief over the face. A
c~onvulsive pressure of thu hands and 8
heaving OF the chest are usually the only
visible signs of suffering.--New York

American Girl ~DiplOmatists.

It is a singular fact that fifteen Of The
ladies connected with the present di.
plomatic corps at Washington are
American girls whose beauty and diplo-
macy captured distinguished husbands.
Among the number are wives Of the
French, italian, Guatemalan and Turk.
ish ministers and many others of lesser
rank, including Mrs. Yung Wing, OF the
Chinese legation, who was a Miss
Bartlett, of Connecticut. In the di-
plomatic corps of Europe there are also
several American ladies', such as the
wife of the italian minister to the Hague
and others. Whether American women
have q peculiar penchant for diplomacy,
or diplomatists for them, is a difficult
question to decide. At all events, d.
plomacy is a career for which our
women seem to be- admirably adapted.
They have also broken down the exclu-
siveness of hereditary %aristocracy, and
some of them are connected with the
Oldest noble families Of England and
the continent. Proverbial as is their
beauty, their natural grace and dignity
of manner and their intelligence are no
less-styikipg.- Washington Core.

Beginning Again.

When, sometimes. our feet grow weary,
On the rugged hills Of life
The path stretching lorg and dresry
With trial and labor rife
We pause on the toilsome journey,
CHANGING backward in valley and glen,
And sigh with infinite longing
To return and begin again.
For behind ia the dew Of the morning,
In all its freshness and light,
And before are doubts and shadows,
And the chill and gloom Of the night.
We remember the sunny places
We passed 80 carelessly then,
And ask, with a passionate longing,
To return and begin again.
All, vain, indeed, is the asking!
LIES duties press all Of US on,
And who dare shrink from the labor,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone?
And, it may be, not far on before US
Wait fairer places than then,
LIES paths may yet lead by still waters
Though we MAJ not begin again.
For everrore upward and onward
Pc our paths on the bills OF life,
And soon with a radiant dawning
Transfgur, the toll and the strife,
And our Fathers hand will lead us
Tenderly upward then;
In the Joy and peace Of a fairer world
He'll let Us begin again.

A Doctor on Fish Cooking.

DR.. G. Fl. Allen discourses in the
Western Rural on the hygiene of fish
cooking, advancing some sensible ideas,
which are not especially new, but quite
generally ignored. Without giving his
reasons in detail, here are his conclu-
sions : Fish should be killed as 500 as
caught, and not be allowed to strangle
to death. Cut off their heads and let
them bleed to death. Fish are better
skinned than simply scaled, especially
the thick-skinned varieties. The skin
is a secreting and excreting surface, and
if cooked with the flesh is apt to impair
the flavor. The sooner fish are eaten
after being caught, the better. Large
and hard fish keep better than small
and tender ones, but keeping never i'm
proves any OF them. Even freezing and
packing in ice impairs their sweetness.
Their freshness is indicated by the full.
ness and clearness of the eye, redness Of
the gills and frmness of the eye and
muscles. Frying is recommended for
small and soft fish, broiling for medium
size, and boiling or baking for hard and
AblSCs 1saIo aplO hSll hlO R4nuJp LII
wholesome. It is cooked enough when
ever the flesh separates readily from the
bones, but does not break to pieces.
Before frying dip the fish in maize meal
and place them in boiling fat, 70 that
the fish may cook without absorbing
the fat. A wire screen is convenient
for frying larger fish, as they can then
be turned without breaking. 10 bake
a fish, dress it in the usual way, wipe
the inside dry, stuff with bread crumbs,
pepper, salt, chopped onions and pars-
lsy, to suit taste, place in hot rel and
haste often with gravy from the pan.
Fish are less nutritious than meat, but
more easily digested, and for many
classes they form a more wholesome
diet. The doctor might have added
another consideration in their favor, and
that is their general cheapness as COM
pared to other meat.

Useful In any Locality.

Owing to the increase in the numbe
of cases of scarlet fever, the New York
health department has sent out the fol-
lowing sanitary regulations against
smallpox, scarlatina and measles:
Every BASE must be reported to the
city sanitary inspector upon its first re-
cognized appearance.
Care of Patients. - The patients
should be placed in q separate room,
and no person except the physician,
nurse or mother allowed to enter the
room or to touch the bedding or cloth
ing used in the sick room until they
have been thoroughly disinfected.
Infected Articles All clothing, bed
ding, or other articles not absolutely
necessary for the use of the patient,
should be removed from the sick room.
Articles used about the patient, such as
sheets, pillow-cases, blankets or clothes,
must not be removed from the sick
room until they have been disinfected
by placing them in a tub with the fol-
lowing ~disinfecting fluid: eight ounces
OF sulphate of zinc, n ounce of carbol-
ic acid, three gallons of water.
They should be soaked in this fluid
for at least one hour, and then placed in
boiling water for washing,
A piece of muslin, n foot square,
should be dipped in the same solution
and suspended in the sick room con-
stantly, and the same should be done in
the hallway adjoining the sick room.
Feather beds and pillows, hair pillows
and mattresses, and fannels or wooden
goods, require fumigation, and should
not be removed from the sick room until
after this has been done. Whenever the
patient is removed from the sick room,
notify the bureau of sanitary inspection,
when the disinfecting corps will as soon
as possible thereafter perform the work
of f%umigation.
All vessels used for receiving the dis
charges of patients should have some OF
the same disinfecting fluid constantly
therein, and Immediately after use by
the patient be emptied and cleansed
with boiling water. Water closets and
privies should also be disinfected daily
with the same fluid, or q solution OF
chloride of iron, one pound to the gal
lon of water, adding one or two ounces
Of carbolic acid.
All straw beds should be burned, but
must not be removed from the sick room
without a permit from this department..
They will be removed by the disinfect-
ing corps. ..
It is advised not to use handkerchiefs
about the patient, but rather soft rags
for cleansing the nostrils and mouth,
which should be Immediately thereafter
burned.
The ceilings and side walls of the sick
room, after removal Of patient, should
be thoroughly cleansed and lime-washed,
| and the woodwork and floor thoroughly
scrubbed with soap and water.
