TOads in Trees and Stones.

A large toad was found few years
ago in an old apple tree at Wonham
Nancy; it came to light when the
tree was blown down. The Memoirs
of the French Academic des Sciences
contain a description of live toad
found in the heart of an old elm tree.
Near Nantes, when an old oak was
cleft open, q toad was found in the
very heartwood, although no crevice
or other channel Of entrance could be
detccted; there were about ninety
rings in the trunk of the oak, leading
to the inference (according to one the
Ory) that the animal must have been
in its prison home ninety years. Mr..
Jesse, in reference to a frog i,r null
berry tree, expressed belief that
the annual rings had been gradually
but surely enclosing the reptile. TOads
i'll clay have been more frequently met
with than in trees sometimes whole
family have thus been ferreted out at
once. In 1856 q toad was found at a
considerable depth at Benthall, near
Brosely, Shropshire. Mr.. Bathurst,
carthenware manufacturers at Benthall,
ascertained that the creature was
met with about six feet from the sur
face, in layer of tough clay, CUSTOM
arily used for coarse brown ware.
Above this layer, in successive strata,
We're ferruginous coal of poor quality,
clay, a loam of clay and gravel, and
meadow turf at the top. The toad
was filling cavity as wax does a seal.
A minute examination of the superin-
cumbent strata failed to detect any
fissure through which the animal
could have entered. The light of day
seemed to distress it, but this it soon
became accustomed to; the eyes were
brilliant, the skin moist, the mouth
quite closed [Chambers's Journal.

Hurryinx.

There is no time when . poultryman
can afford to hurry his work. He can
not hurry into the business at mo-
ment's notice and catch up all the
threads of mating and clean breeding
at the point where some veteran has
them.
Much has been done to aid begin
ners in this business, but no extrane-
GUS help will ever put them ON .
level of attainment with those who
have devoted years to the work. We
may start with q breed which, by
patient and intelligent toll, has been
brought to . very satisfactory state of
exact reproduction, but we cannot in
other particulars start from the high
est attainments Of our predecessors.
Books and papers that treat particu-
larly of our favorites can do much to
aid us in the rapid requirement of in
formation, but even the best of these
cannot give us what We must have.
We can't buy experience at one stroke,
but must be content to take it as it
comes and profit by it. Remember,
the man who makes no mistake is
more than mortal, but the man who
makes the same blunder twice deserves
i'll success. s.
We cannot hurry nature in anything
without in the end suffering in some
way for our tampering. If we hurry
into a partly understood line Of
work without first ascertaining its
cardinal principles, we hurry to sure
discontinue, but if we begin sensibly,
read and thoroughly digest the advice
of those older in the business than
ourselves, we are in fair way to sue

Should Sheen Be Washed ?

'George Geddes"' is quoted in the
New York Tribune as declaring en-
phatically on this point:
''No! The buyer of wool, if he be a
good judge, looks to the wool he buys
entirely with reference to the quanti-
ty he will have after all dirt has been
removed. In growing the fleece, dirt
and grease abound, particularly i'll fine
wool. This dirt and grease is of no
value to the manufacturer, and he
cleanses it all out of the wool before
making it into yarn. The grower Of
but he will only take out a part of the
dirt and grease, and will still leave
much for the manufacturer to take
out. st-. IA .iiHs
"The interests of all parties will be
best served by allowing the manufac-
turer to do all this work. The only
objection that is made to selling un-
washed wool, so-called, is that the
buyer insists on deducting one third
from the weight, because the grower
did not 60 through the show of wash
ing the wool on the sleeps backs. In
this the buyer is unreasonable, for no
such rule is of universally just appli-
cation. The skilled buyer will look
at the wool and make up his mind how
much it will lose in the process of
cleansing, and if he knows the value
of a pound of wool after it has been
cleansed, he can make fair offer for it
by the pound, just as it comes un-
washed from the sleeps back. WASH
ing sheep is an old custom, but it must
Gall before mOdern progress"

Extraordinary Affection.

The mutual love of rooster and 4
dog in Avon is recorded by the Roch-
ester Union as follows: The rooster
is known by the name of s'Dick," to
which he responds very readily when
called by his owner. The dogs name
is 'Sandy." He is mongrel with
considerable of the terrier i'll him, and
endowed with more than usual intel
ligence. 1t seems that when the
rooster "Dick" was very young
chicken he took to the dog SANDY"
who returned the affection warmly,
and cared for the little fowl with all
the tenderness possible. When the
dog went to sleep at night ''Dick"
would snug up to him, and thus OBJ
tain the warmth of his body. Since
then they have been constant associ-
ates and playmates, the rooster not
seeming to care particle for other
roosters or hens, while the dog pre-
fcrred to play with "Dick" rather than
with animals OF his own kind. ''San-
DIV" allows "Dick' to perch on his
back, while he lays stretched between
two chairs, and the rooster succeeds i'll
sticking OH while the dog leaps from
one chair to another. All who saw
the dog and rooster the other night
were great y amused with their antics.

WHOLE No. 631.
Egyptian Tales.

The Egyptian genius delighted in
the construction Of stories. Some Of
the stories have come down through
Greeks, especially Herodotus, who
gathered them during his travels, and
mixed them up in confusion which
is charming while it is perplexing
with his historical notes; others sur
vive in forms more or less imperfect
and mutilated in the papyruses. Some
of them gave sorry idea of the NOR
ais and moral tastes of the people but
we may hope that in this respect they
do them as great injustice as the stories
of the French novelist do the people
whose life they shamelessly distort.
Among those which have come down
through the Greek is the incident
which is the probable foundation of
the story of ''Cinderclla."
1t is related by Strabo, of RhOdOpis,
the ''rosy y-cheeked." whe became Queen
Nitocris, and had her name associated
with one of the great pyramids. The
wind carried away her sandal while
she was bathing, and laid it at the feet
of the king, who was sitting in the
open air. His attention was attracted
by its delicate and symmetrical shape,
and he. sought her out and made her
his queen. The most perfectly pre-
served of the stories in papyrus is ca IL
ed ''The Tale of the Two Brothers, -
and is full of incidents of peculiar
character. A tale called the "DoOmed
Prince" has attracted considerable at
tention, but is abruptly broken of by
the mutila'ion of the only copy, and
leaves no clue to the ending. Many
other stories are in the same situation,
but what remains shows great richness
of fancy.

Planning Houses.

The planning of houses is left almost
entirely to men, and most women are
content to have it so, and to look up
on the whole question of domestic
architec ture as one with which they
have nothing to do. But if women
would study this subject and have in
telligent and practical ideas Oh the
arrangement, finish, and convenience
of the houses they live in, their sug-
gestions would be of great value to
architects, and doubtless result in an
increase Of health and household COM
fort. .'The wise woman buildeth her
house," Taking this in a literal sense,
every woman who is "wise" will be
able to plan her house so that she will
find it pleasant to live in. The ordi-
nary way of building house is to de-
eide how much money can be put into
it, then what its size shall be, and
then how it shall be cut up into
rooms. The reverse is the proper
method. The sitting-rOom or family
room should first be determined on,
and from this as a center all the 9TH
ers should radiate. Each family will
naturally give law to its own habita-
ton, and press its own individuality
upon the house it lives in. Every
woman has her own way of doing
housework; and if she is able to plan
her house herself, she will arrange its
conveniences i'm such a way as to make
it easy for her to go through the ordi-
nary routine with the least possible
Friction She will not be likely TO
forget to put closets in sleeping rooms,
as the architect of Vassar College did.
She will have water carried in and out
of the house; she will so plan her
pantry and kitchen and dining-rOOm
as TO bring her work there into the
smallest possible compass, and make
the greatest saving of steps while do
ing it. She will not have the two or
three stair-steps from the kitchen into
the wood-hOuse that are SO often found
in country houses. She will plan her
house so that it can be pleasantly fur
| nished when it is done. How often
do we find bedrooms with no suitable
place in them for the bed, for the bu-
reau, for the stove; and sitting-roOms
arranged, as to light, heating, and ven-
tilation, without any regard to COM
| fort or convenience AS women pass
most of their time i'll their own dwell
lings, they ought surely to know bet
ter than men how these dwellings
should be arranged and finished SO as
| to give the largest results i'll comfort
| and tasteflllness, and be able to advise
| intelligently as to the best method of
securing these eresults.-[Pacific Rural

The Owner Of the Cape Of Good Hope
and His Ostrich Farm.

Mr.. Mcclellan, who was most kind
ly hOspitable, has an ostrich farm, but
his flock of birds was rot very large at
the time of our visit, writes III. N.
MOsley, in Challenger Notes, he hav-
ing had bad luck at first in the breed
ing.
He owns the actual Cape of Good
Hope and long stretch of the moor
land adjoining, and has thrown a
wire fence right across the peninsula,
SO as to give his ostriches the run of q
large tract, stretching right down to
the cape itself. One old hen ostrich
was pet about the house, but used to
do sad damage in the farm yard eating
the yorng goslings, swallowing them
like oysters.
1t was amusing to go with Mr.. Nc
Kellar into one of his breeding pad
docks; here a pair of ostriches were
brooding OH a nest of eggs, dividing, rs
usual the labor between them.
The cock was very savage and at
tackled all intruders, so his master had
q long pole with q fork at the end of
it, and when the ostrich ran at the par
ty he caught its neck in the fork. The
ostrich was excessively enraged, but
soon had to give in.
A kick from an ostrich is we'll known
as very dangerous. The only thing to
do when attacked without means of
defense, Mr.. McKellar said, is to lie
down and let the bird walk on you
till he is tired. l was astonished at
the brightness of the red coloring de-
veloped on the front of the legs of the
cock-bird during the breeding season.
the ornamental appearance of the bird
is greatly enhanced by it.
A narrow but high and strong pen
is provided for plucking the birds in.
They are driven into it and held fast.
It is found better to pluck the feathers
out than to cut them off. The stumps
If left in, are apt to cause trouble.
Young ostriches when first from the
egg, have curious horny plates at the
tips of their feathers, like those in the
feathers of one of the Indian jungle
fowls and some other birds not in the
least related to one another.
The cape peninsula becomes very
narrow towards its termination, and
ends in two capes, Cape Point, OH
which is the lighthouse. and the Cape
of Good Hope. The Cape of Good
Hope itself is mass of rock, terminal
ing in perpendicular cliffs towards the
sea, but with lodges here and there,
on which numbers Of cormorants nest.

How Sam Houston Happened to Go
to Texas.

During Sam HoustOn's residence in
the Cherokee Nation, west of Arkan-
sas, says the Fort Smith Elevator, he
lived with daughter of old Captain
John Rogers, an Indian, about two and
q half miles west of Ft. Gibson. He
was merchant. but tried to conform
to the ways and habits of the Indians,
and in dress wore the hunting shirt,
buckskin ieggings, and breech-clouto of
the Indians. For the greater part of his
stay here he was under the influence Of
liquor when it could be had, aud he
was seldom without it. He seemed,
after O residence of two years, to tire
of the part he was acting, and during
short periods of soberncss became mo-
rose and sullen. He was evidently
comparing in his mind his present
mode of life with the past, or drunk
ell white Indian with the proud Gov
ernor of Tennessee.
1t was directly after one of his long
drunken spells that some of the Texas
Cherokees brought news of the war
between Texas and Mexico. Houston,
though not yet sober, walked out to
the banks of the Grand River with
John Henry, q merchant. Throwing
himself down on the ground, he was
silent for some time. At length, start
ing up quickly, he said: "Henry, let
US go to Texas. / am tired of this
country and this life. Go with me,
and l will make fortune for us both.
Y on are merchant lam 4 merchant!
We are 10 more fit for merchants than
HI is for powder house! am 60
ing. In that new State will make .
man of myself again." He began At
once making preparation for the, at
that time, long journey. Casting at
once aside all his Indian attire, he came
cut dressed as white man, and at
once refusing the use Of liquor offered
him frequently, as if by the stroke of
the magician's wand, he looked the
man and hero he very soon became af-
/ ter his arrival in Texas.

Cost And Results Of SoHe kDssut
English Strikes, -

A writer im Frazer's Magazine esti-
mates that the engineers strike, which
began i'm February last aud continued
about tairty-three weeks, caused loss
of $7O, goo to the strikers. The average
number of men out of employ nlDnt
during this time was i've hund red.
If no strike had taken place, their wa
ges would have amounted to $144 600.
But they received from society funds
about $74. 600, reducing their personal
loss to $4,000. OF notable stEikes
that have taken place within tho last
two years, that Of the Loadon mDsons,
which lasted thirty three Wccks and
threw LOO men out OF employment,
cost the strikers about 3l30,O00 Tho
carpenters' strike in Manchester in-
volved about the same number0f man..
and cost nearly ~ much. The strike
and lockout Of the boiler-makers and
iron ship-builders ON the Clyde cost
the society upward of $65, GOO, the es-
timated losses being $1,5OO, GOO Tho
losses of the miners lin the DURHAM
strike are estimated at 81 ,2OO, 600. In
the above stsikes, excepting that OF
the engineers first mentioned, the stri-
kers suffered disastrous defoatl. While
strikes are exeeedingly expensive luz
uries to the mon, even when sncce6e.
full, the writer above cited niaintSint
that the number of strikes from which
the employees reap no advantage are
extremely few, as compared with
those from which they derive tome
benefit, proximate or remote In IL
lustration Of what il sometimes gain
ed by the strikers, he cites the build
ers' strike and lockout in London in
1889. About "a 600 men quit work,
but many of these obtained employ
ment elsewhere. The number en-
gagged in the struggle was from {, 900
to 1900. The whole number inter-
ested in the result of the contest was
between 40, 900 and $4,000. After
spending upward of $3.50, 900, besides
the loss in wages, the men were COM
PEELED to yield. But they gained the
Saturday lf-holiday, which il now
enjoyed by no fewer than 100, 900
building operatives. This is comput-
ed to be gain to the men Of about
1880, 600 year, "if not III money, 1T
least in moneys WORTH" The writer
claims that tho employees get over
their losses much more speedily than
the employer With the former, he
says, it iis = matter of temporary in
convenience, or, at most, of present
suffering only; with the latter it
means not merely . arrangement of
business for the time being, but in
many cases future embarrassment, if
not failure. rt,,s i'N

to take grease that had cooked out of
salt pork, melt it and keep it melted
(the vessel can be kept on pan of
coals), and put it with the feather end

How to Make Hens Law.

A correspondent informs US that,
while on visit in the fall to friend,
lie was surprised to see the number of
eggs he daily obtained. He had but
sixteen hens, and the product per diem
averaged thirteen eggs. He was in the
habit of giving on every alternate day
a teaspoonful and q quarter of cayenne
pepper. mixed with soft food, and
took care that each hen obtained her
share. The experiment of emitting
the pepper was tried, when it was
found that the number of eggs was re-
duced each trial from five to six daily.
Our correspondent believes that the
moderate use of this stimulant not on
ly increases the number Of eggs, but
effectually wards of diseases to which
chickens are subiect-lGermaniown
