Orange Judd's Lamp.

Orange Judd, proprietor of the Abseri-
can AgricWlturist, lives in Flushing.
Long Island. and goes home every night
on train of the Flushing :nd North
Shore railroad. The light of the train
lamps is rather dim, and reading news
papers or books is accordingly =
matter of some difficulty Mr.. Judd.
however, has overcome this difficulty
by using q small hand lamp, made ex-
pressly for him by a gentleman in
Europe whom he met while travelling IN
that country. Mr.. Judd had expressed
astonishment to this gentleman that
some contrivance was not invented by
means of which travellers on railroads
could read at night with some comfort,
and described lamp such as he thought
could be made for the purpose. Some
time after his return to this country Mr..
Judd was agreeably surprised by re-
ceiving from his European acquaintance
lamp made according to lis descrip-
tion, and upon trial he found that il an
swered the purpose for which il had
been made in every respect. Formerly Mr..
Judd used an ordinary alcohol lamp. but
he finds the lamp of his own invention
far more convenient. 1t is simply s.
candle, ingeniously arranged to throw
all the light on whatever the person
holding it is reading; it does not flicker,
and can be slowed away in the pockets
after using, without any danger of coil
ing the clothes. Mr.. Judd and his
lamp receive considerable attention from
curious strangers in the cars.

What a Paris Dog Can Do.

A Paris correspondent of the New
Orleans RcGyttge tells the following
story: There is a terrier in a cafe, Rue
st. Honore, that no sooner sees an
habitual customer enter than he runs
up to the newcomer, opens his mouth
and looks imploringly at the customer.
The latter so well understands the panto-
mine that he puts a sou in the open
mouth. The terrier bounds 20 the door.
and in an instant is at the nearest pastry
cooks. The latter gives the dog n cake,
which the latter brings 20 his benefac-
tor, who breaks the cake into three
pieces. One is forthwith given the .er-
rier; the dog. having eaten it, stands on
his hind legs, lets the customer put the
second piece OF cake on his (the dog's)
nose, lets it stay there untouched until
the gentleman raps ten times on the
table; at the tenth rap the terrier tosses
the cake in tile air and catches ii before
it falls TO the floor. The gentleman
then takes the third piece of cake in his
hand and says: "Biliy you have eaten
two of the three pieces OF cake. There
are thousands of dogs in Paris who have
never tasted a piece OF cake. Now.
Billy, if you be s gentieman-and be-
lieve you are a gentleman, Billy-yon
will take this third piece of cake and
lay it in the street for dogs that are not
as well OF as you are" The terrier
takes the third piece of cake in his
mouth, carries it to the street, leaves il

France has agricultural schools for
girls. One of the chief is near Rouen,
which is said to have been begun with a
capital of one franc by a sister of charity
and two little discharged prisoner girls,
and to be now worth $3.50. 900. The es-
tablishment has 300 girls from six to
eighteen. The farm, entirely cultivated
by them, is over 400 acres in extent.
Twenty-Five sisters form the staff of
teachers. More than one medal of the
French agricultural society has been
awarded to this establishment at Dar-
netel, and the pupils are in great demand
all over Normandy on account Of their
skill. They go out as stewards, gar
deners, farm managers, dairy women
and laundresses. Each girl has on
leaving an outfit and small sum of
money, earned in spare hours. If they
want home they can always return to
Darnetel, which they are taught to re-
gard as home.

Tie school-house where our hero pre-
sided was situated some distance from
the village where he boarded, and the
walk, though pleasant, was lonely and
passing graveyard. And of late weird
tales had been told of ghosts who walk
there by moonlight. and in one or two
instances, when the schoolmaster had
been beiated, he had observed an object
clothed in white fit at distance before
him and in his very path. Though q
trifie startled, he had no doubt that it
was riddle that time would unravel.
Therefore, upon the night when he had
remained writing to the city friend, as he
hurried homeward to be in time 70 rsup-

never dreamed the gliding visitant was
other than earthly, and quickened his
pace to meet it, but to his establishment
it disappeared as quickly and entirely,
as if swallowed by the earth. Not a
little startled and puzzled, he hastened
home, but kept his own counsel.
The next morning he proceeded to
school more early than usual and spent

Yet, Socrates was a model man, and we cannot but wonder that so great and good a man could have existed in Pagan world!

WASHINGTON LETTER.

We have got Congress back again now, and the real work for which Congress- men are created must begin in earnest. Not much of it has been done this week, however. It takes these lawmakers about ten years to sober off after two weeks vacation. From my observations during several years in Washington, l am thsrougly convinced that change in the time of assembling Congress would be q decided improvement. The legisla work performed previous to the holidays amounts 10 nothing, and the Houses are scarcely convened before q demoralzing holiday recess comes in, after which just as much time is con sumed in getting settled as at the begin ming. Representative Steele has bill now before the House tn at ought to pass. It repeals the law requiring meeting of Congress in December. and names the second Monday of January in each year instead. This proposition meets with much favor.

The members have lost no time in introducing their bills, and great stacks Of them are in the hands of near ly every committe. But the country need not be alarmed at the great influx of all sorts of measures.
