One of the best things that ever was
heard of happened in the South of France
not many weeks ago. There lives in the
South Of France a man of wealth whose
chatucau, or country place Of residence,
has around it very tai, trees. The coon
of the chateau has monkey, pert fellow
who knows ever so many tricks. The non
key often helps the cook to pluck the feath-
ers from fowls. On the day that interests us
the cook gave the monkey v0 partridges
to pluck, and the mOnh"y, seating him.
self in an open window, went to work.
He had picked the feathers from one Of
the partridges and placed it on the outer
ledge of the window with asatisied grunt,
when, lo all at once a hawk flew down
from one of the tall trees near by and
bore off the plucked bird. Master Mon
key was very angry. He shook his fist at
the hawk, who took n seat on one Of the
limbs not far off and began to eat the
partridge with great relish. The owner
Of the chateau saw the sport, for he was
sitting in rgrape arbor, and crept up to
watch the end of it. The monkey picked
the other partridge and laid it on the
ledge IN the same place, then hiding be-
hind the window-screen on the inside.
The hawk was caught in this trap, for
when 1t flew down after the partridge out
reached the monkey and caught the thief
In a moment the hawks neck was wrung,
and the monkey soon had the hawk
plucked. Taking the two birds to the
cook the monkey handed them
to him as if to say, "Here are your
two partridges, master" The cook
thought that one of the birds looked
queer, but he served them on the table.
The owner of the house shook his head
when he saw the dish, and telling the
cook of the trick, laughed heartily.

On Taking Day Maps.

There is no more delightful nor more
beneficial luxury that any business man
or woman can indulge in than short, ha-
bitual day nap. Sleep is the great reStor'
OR of beauty and strength, the great
soother of worn nerves. Physicians of to-
day tell us that sleeplesSness is one of the
greatest difficulties which hard worked
American people have to contend with,
and is one OF the most insiduous enemies
to health. This is true alike of the care
Iul mother and the overtaxed business
man. To both of these habitual daily
nap would prove bath in the very foun-
tain of reIreshment and invigoration. As
general rule drowsiness in the daytime
comes on Immediately after eating. This
would seem to indicate the proper time
for a nap. We have known several wo
men who have retained their vigor and
health in remarkable manner beyond
the season of youth, who ascnbed it large
ly to the daily habit of taking a short
period of perfect rest and repose in sleep,
at some time during the day, The nap
should be short; a long napi debilitating
and throws the system out Of its regular
order. The habit Of taking short,
sound sleep may be easily formed, and is
one of the best possible preservatives OF
youth, health, vigor, and beauty
Weekly Chillicothe crisis., 1880-01-08


A chapter of high interest might be
written on a courtship Of the Ararchnidan
race, involving, as do the matrimonial
intents OF the race, many curious features.
In one or two species Of spiders, the gen.
tlemen possess the power Of emitting a
curious Chirping sound, the ladies being,
wonderful to relate, vOlceless-a quality
upon which Anacreon, as will be remem-
bered, congratulated the insect CiCadas,
since their wives-as is really the case
are dumb. There is no doubt that such
musical apparatus, consisting Of rough
ened patch on the tail against which the
chest is rubbed, Is intended as a species OF
loving blandishment to captivate mes
danes. And Monsieur Theridion, ap-
preaching the domicile Of Mademoiselle
Theridion, softly twangs the guitar, and
thus announces at once, and through the
appropriate medium of the divine art, his
intentions and emotions. Such proce-
dure reaches, it is true, in the insect
group, Il higher stage of culture than in
the Arachnidan fraternity; but its occur
renee anywhere in lower life affords a
foundation for the belief that courtship by
serenade and the Establishments of Or
pheus had plain precedent ages ago; in
the loves of the insects and their allied
kith and kin. SO also it has been alleged
by high authority that spiders have been
attracted by music. If this latter asser-
tion be correct, it places the idea of de-
fined purpose underlying the sounds o
Therldion on a basis OF more than ordin-
ary probability and reasonableness. Thus,
in the matter of wOman's rights alone.
the Arachnidans are all that, and perhaps
good deal more than our own lady-lib-
erationists could wish for; while there is
no doubt that in attention to domestic du-
ties, and in the ordering Of household
ways and domestic life-as occasionally
proved by the experiments of mankind
the shrewd may take precedence of some
more amiable and milder tempered wives.
The wave OF spider existence can only be
fully eomprehended when we dip into the
general anatomy Of the group. Even the
nature of the threads and thums with the
mention of which this rambling chronicle
was begun may be understood solely from
the light thrown on the spinning appar-
atus by peculiar and short lecture on
comparative anatomy. Let US thus firstly
examine the mouth and its belongings by
way OF satisfying a normal curiosity re-
gardmg the well-known sting and poison
Of the race. The Jaws of a spider like
those of a beetle, number fouf-a large
AMI a small pair. The large pair-tech-
nically The mandibles-are hooked at their
ti0s th5 Sroks being the poison "fangs,"

Some of Hnmanity,s sorrows.

From the Iowa Falls Sentinel.
One of the saddest bits of human histo-
ry is suggested to us by the news of the
death of W. Il, Eskridge, of 0tisville-
killed by Indians on the western plains.
1t is but few years since he was united
in marriage to beautiful girl. and life
opened up pleasantly and happily. Then
came a cloud across the hearthstone in
the sickness and insanity of his wife. We
well remember the scene on the train, but
a short time since, when the young hus.
band was taking his wife to the asylum at
independence. His heartbroken appear
ance and devotion to his poor wife, were
touching to see. She never came home,
but recently died at the asylum. Then
the young husband went to the far west,
and now the news comes that he is dead
killed by Indians.

From the Germantown Telegraph
Those who wish to graft their vines
with other vines should remember that
winter and not spring is the time for it
and in this the grape Is different from
most other trees. 1t is different in this,
that in The spring of the year there Is
such a tremendous pressure upwards by
the ascending sap that the parts of the
scion and stock which to unite must Of
course touch one another are forced by the
sap apart. When the gratis are put in
at this season there is little fear OF this.
The several cells granulate and head, and
when the sap is ready to flow upward
strongly il goes up through its regular
channels in the graft without any tenden-
cy to break ont through the junction.
How to graft grave-vnes admits of many
various replies. The best is probably
that described years ago in our pages by
Samuel Miller, then of Lebanon, in this
State, now Of Missouri, who was very sue
cess ul as CRATER Of the grape. He
drew away the soil from the stock to be
grated, cut it down about two inches
lIOul lllt SuEldCt' llcH CuI WIFI sJOul
sharp knife a long and narrow wedge
shaped notch in the stock, and shaped the
scion as Il wedge TO fit in the notch in the
stock. The lips of the notch are then tied
together and the earth drawn in around
the whole, leaving the upper eye Of the
graft above the ground. We may say
that it is very astonishing that grape
grating is not more generally practiced,
and especially since the discovery that the
great success of the Concord, Clinton, and
a few otherlgrapes is not owing to any
extra constitutional hardness, but to the
fact that the power to throw out numer-
GUS fbrous roots is greater in these kinds.
If this be true, and it seems to be really
the case, we may have the choicest and
best of grapes by grating them on these
vigorous roofing stocks. For once the
French seem to have taken a start ahead
of us in this matter. They sent an agent
to this country some time ago-a shrewd
observing fellow-and he took in the
whole situation at once. The result has
been that millions on millions of Concord
and Clinton cuttings have been sent to
France the past five or six years, and in
future the wines of that country may be
brought to a higher grade of perfection
than ever before.

A coon has the best of dog when the
fight is in deep water, as citizen OIL
Portland, Oregon, has learned TO his sor-
row. A valuable dog belonging to him
went out last week into a field and found
the track of a coon, which he followed Ia
the animals hiding place. There he be-
gan to dig and bark, making the dirt fly
in the air until the coon cunningly escaped
and ran into a little pond near by, the
dog following him. A hard fight then
began. The coon seized the dog by the
nose and pulled him under water. Again
and again the dog rose to the surface
and again and again he was pulled below
it, until at last he had had too much Of
the business, and sank for the last time
from view. The coon went quietly ashore
and disappeared in his hole unharmed.
