They PLAGUED Him.

A story is told of an English voter
who possessed influence, and who asked
the candidate to give him letter of
recommendation to an officer at the ad-
mlralty. The request was granted, but
when the youth called to deliver his
credentials he found that he had mis-
laid the precious epistle. However, he
succeeded in obtaining a nomination,
and some weeks after his return home
discovered the lost ''letter of recon-
mendatlon among some papers. Hav-
ing done without it he had the curiosity
to open 1t, and was startled to find that
1t contained an earnest injunction to
throw every obstacle in his way" for as
the writer added, ST cannot disoblige
the youths father, andif he once enters
the navy he will be plaguing my life to
get him a ship" The young man was
furious, but the father, practical-mind-
ed man, coolly remarked; we will take
him at his word and plague him for q
ship, which was done accordingly, with

In answer to the question of CORES
pondent, the CuuiUotor replies: We
should not hesitate to milk the heifer
tho she does want month to calving;
it is more than likely that by so doing
you will save the animal. We are well
aware that some of the old-schooI farm
ers are of the opinion that no should
be MIXED before she calves, and in the
days of their early farming, the cattle
they had, and the feed they got, never
put them into such condition as to fill
their bags painfully full before calving;
but with our breeds and feeding the case
is very different, and it would be moth
ing less than an act of severe cruelty to
allow heifer to carry such a bag. You
say she is in very high condition; give
her a dose of salt once or twice before
she calves. If you wait till afterwards
it may be to late, and milk fever may be
the result. The milking of her before
she calves may help to reduce her sys-
tenn some, but we should give one dose
of salt before calving at any rate.

An EnsIishman's Architectural whim.

An eccentric Englishman built q
house in the Quarter Tivoli for the resi-
dence of himself, his wife and eight
children, which is the talk of Paris. 1t
is circular, and has neither door nor
window externally. The approach to
it is from the ground floor ON to the roof
by means of ladder, which is moved
up and down by machinery similar to
that of a drawbridge. There is only
one floor, and that contains eighteen
apartments, more or less small dimen-
sions, looking into the centre, which is
lighted from above by a glazed cupola.-
One stove for all these rooms is in the
middle, aud in summer its place is to be
occupied by an exquisite parterre of
flowers. A circular balcony, opened to
all the apartments, surrounds this space.
The motive of this oddity is of course,
only known to the author of it, but
everybody can see that two points are
gained by it-immunity from the taxes
on doors and windows, and perfect.
preventive of any attempt at burglary.

Dangerous pranEs wa the Monlh.

The mouth is not to be played pranks
with, but Il often Is so. The needless
practice Of putting small articles into
the mouth, either for the purpose Of
holding them for a few moments or for
playing some trick, has been frequently
attended with very serious conse-
quences. Yet the practice is common,
especially among young women, who
may be seen holding pins between their
teeth while dressing. Medical attend
ants in hospitals have frequent cause to
find fault with female patients of
humble rank for putting pins in their
mouth when they have occasion to re-
move any part Of their dress.
Children Of both sexes seem almost
10 have an instructive fancy to put play
things in their mouth, and sometimes
therefore give no end Of trouble to
parents and nurses. Notwithstanding
every precaution, distressing accidents
occur. A few years ago boy swallowed
a small piece of brass chain, with which
he had been amusing himself by putting
it into his mouth. The bit Of chain
lodged in the stomach, and, though
medical aid was resorted to, the poor
child languished and died. Only few
weeks ago, as mentioned in the London
Lancet a young boy in Devonshire died
from having allowed small tin whistle
to slip from his mouth into the trachea,
where it stuck, and baffled attempts at
removal Death took place from in
ability to breathe.
Remarkable instances are related of
needles which had been accidentally
swallowed finding their way, point fore
most, through the sides of the stomach,
and thence to the exterior surface of the
body, where they are drawn out. 1t is
all chance, however, that they make
their escape in this harmless manner,
and accordingly there is no excuse for
women thoughtlessly, it may be per-
yersely, putting needles in their mouth.
Those who do run great risk of per-
ishing in considerable agony. Occa-
sionaly female lunatics in their mad
freaks unwittingly kill themselves by
swallowing needles which they manage
to secrete. A case has been mentioned
to us Of most extraordinary degree of
mad peryersity A female lunatic had
such a morbid craving for swallowing
small parcels of needles which from
time to time she procured that at length
she destroyed herself. At a post
mortem examination as many-if we
mistake not-as 800 needles, in a less
or more state of corrosion, were found
lodged in various parts of her body. In
another case that has been recorded, the
great French surgeon, Baron Dupuy-
tren, extracted 254 needles through the
skin, to which they found their way
from the stomach. = Chambers Journal.

II will be observed that the Demo
cratic National Convention is to be held
three weeks later than the Republican
National Convention. The Democratic
party proposes to see what ticket and
platform the Republicans put in the
field before il ventures TO declare its
platform and ticket. Perhaps the Re-
publican choice may dampen the ambi-
tiOn of some of the Democratic candi-
dates and platform makers. They may
not be so eager when they see the work
cut out for them, the issues to meet,
and the ticket they have to run against.
