Columbus was afterward released and
lived to go on his fourth voyage. After
sailing about for some time he was amiga
put in chains by fellow who took him
for huge serpent while bathing in
close proximity to the ships quarters.
This man had the delirium tremens.
This was the last voyage Of the poor
sailor. Columbus might have been alive
now, if he had regard the laws ofed
health and attended to his own business.
IT is q pity that the harpoon sunk so
deep in his flesh DIS to be fatal. But the
man-harpooner did not know beans, con-
,sequently, it was so ordained that he
should die thus.
Ihate it; my neighbor, Bill McWhiz-
zlebanger, hates it; my father-in-law,
Observation-Disclosures hates it, and ma
ton hates it. But Columbus was to die
naturally, as all men die. He now lies
inferred at Havana. This man made
grand mistakes, and to this is attributed
the discovery and colonization of our
glorious republic. Let us have few
more such beneficial mistakes.

PRINTED P4PER.

In buying groceries, butter, cheese,
etc., are frequently wrapped in printed
paper, Or even in old manuscripts. Per-
haps we might also say that provisions
for picnics and other hampers are slowed
away in similar coverings, and it will,
therefore, not be amiss if we call atten.
ton to the fact that danger has been dis
covered to lurk in these familiar wrap
pings. In the case Of printed paper,
the characters have often been trans
ferred to the cheese or butter, and either
they are cut away by the observant cook
or they are unnoticed, and in due course
become assimilated in the process of
satisfying hunger. It is more than likely
that deleterious matter is contained in
the ink, and the digestion suffers. But
written paper is even more likely to be
hurtful, inasmuch as in writing the paper
has been in close contact with the hand,
which not improbably may be giving off
a perspiration, that may enter the pores
of the paper and may there ferment,
not with advantage to health in the event
of any portion Of the manuscript being
allowed to accompany the food down I'M
suspecting Threats. Only clean, unused
paper should be allowed as wrappers for
food.

NEwLY-PAINTED ROOMS.

The danger of inhaling the vapor of tur-
pentine has been long known, and its per-
nicious influence on the health is beyond all
doubt, as has been verified in several cases
occurring in persons sleeping in newly
painted room, some of which have even
proved fatal. Several theories, more or less
plausible, have. been propounded to explain
the prejudicial effects of the inhalation of these
vapors but, whatever be the correct ex-
PLANTATION, there is no doubt of the danger of
occupying room recently painted in which
turpentine has been employed, before COM
plete dessication has taken place. 1t was
pointed out by the Council of Hygiene that
a sudden death which recently took place In
Paris was attributable to this cause, it being
shown that it could not be ascribed to the
lead which entered into the composition of
the paint of the room in which the deceased
slept; the lead, being fixed and non-vola-
tile, cannot in these cases, be accused of
being the offending element.

HOW AN ELEPHANT WAS WEIGHED.

An Indian writer relates an interesting
anecdote concerning Shahjee, the father of
the first ruling Prince of the Mahrattas of
Hindoostan, who lived at about the begin
ming of the seventeenth century. On one
occasion certain high official made a VOW
that he would distribute to the poor the
weight of his own elephant in silver money,
but the great difficulty that at first pre-
scented itself was the mode of ascertaining
what this weight really was, and all the
learned and clever men of the court seemed
to have endeavored in vain to construct a
machine of sufficient power to weigh the
elephant. At length it is said that Shahjes
came forward and suggested plan which
was simple and yet ingenious in the highest
degree. He. caused the unwieldly animal
to be conducted along stage, specially
made for the purpose by the water-side,
into fat-bottomed boat, and then, having
marked on the boat the hdght to which
the water reached after the elephant had
weighed it down, the latter was taken out,
and stones substituted in sufficient guam
tity to load the boat to the same line.
The stones were then taken to the scales,
and thus, to the amazement of the court,
was asce tanned the true weight of the ele-
phant

TALES OF THE TELEGRAPH.

When the news came of the revolution in
Turkey and the deposition of Abdul Aziz,
Queen Victoria, it is said. lost no time in in
tervening in his behalf by telegraphing to
Constantinople and expressing her hope that
the ex-Sultan would not be subjected to any
violence or ill-treatment. "Soignes le ben"
Take good care of him-said Her Males
ty; but the cruel telegraph made her say,
S0ignes le hen BLEED him well; and
how they bled him all the world knows
The story is not impossible. In his last an
nual report, the Postmaster-G General owns
that poor woman, telegraphing to rela-
tive, 60 Mary is bad" had her message rem
dered, MARY is dead" and that a pleasure
party wishing to advise their friends at home
of their safety by the assurance that they
had "Arrived all right" scandalized the
anxious ones with the announcement, "We
have arrived all tight" But many jokes
are perpetrated by the wire without receiv-
ing official recognition. A lady living near
London, whose lord and master went up to
town every day, was not little puzzled by
message from him telling her he 'would
bring Sal on for dinner" nor was she
quite easy in her mind until ocularly con-
yinced that his only companion was fine
salmon. A gentleman telegraphing to a
bookseller at Cambridge to forward him a
coDy of n hook of nrize nOemS containing
Johnson's poem on PLATO" was surprised
at receiving by the first post q letter from
the bookseller, saying he could not find any
such work, but his surprise did not out
last the discovery that by the time his
message had reached Cambridge the title
he had given had become transformed into
John Pomens on Plate Money. "-CAana-

GILLOTT.

In the beginning of his career, elliott,
then an artisan of no mean ability, was en-
gagged to young woman in his own rank
of life, whose two brothers, John and VII
liam Mitchell were working in about the
same style as himself on the "new thing"
Their sister was helping them, and in the
confidence of courtship would often explain
to her lover the natn-e of her pursuits. No
doubt the brothers wei, .orking by "rule
of thumb" producing, by painful labor of
clipping, shearing, filing and punching by
hand, fairly salable article. But elliott
saw at once that the press could be made
available for nearly every process, and that
the production could be multiplied ad IN
tiaaitWm. Aided by his skill in tool-making,
which stood him in good stead during all
the greater part of his career, he worked Sc
cretly in his garnet till he had perfected ap-
planes which enabled him to make as
many pens as could be made by twenty
persons in the same time under the old sys-
tenn, and of better and more uniform
quality than had yet been seen. He found
ready sale for all he could make, and in a
short time the demand grew faster than his
power of production, and he wanted help.
Then his sweetheart, Miss Mitchell, agreed
to his proposal that they should marry and
work together, and reap the golden harvest
while it was ripe. In after years Mr.. elliott
used often to tell how, on the very morning
of his marriage, he began and finished
gross of pens, and received the money for
them

The Chinese Cuisine.

The sharks fin is deicacy which is
rarely omitted from the menu of Chi
nese feast. It is one of the "great clas-
sic dishes" forming the pieces de re-
sistance of an official banquet, and is
eaten either in the form of joint, gar
nished with crabs, or served up in small
pieces in cups placed before each guest.
The consumption Of rats, though it
seems to be somewhat on the decline, is
the cause of very important traffic in
the principal towns of certain districts,
and especially in a street in Canton
called Hing-Loung-Kai. Here. these
animals may be seen in enormous multi
tudes hanging up in the shop windows
among chickens and ducks and geese.
They are for the most part dried and
sailed. and when in that state are es-
teemed sovereign recipe for those
whose hair is getting thin.
Beside the dishes peculiar to the &C.
lestials alone, there are variety of DIFF
ferences in their mode of eating and
cooking food unknown to our cuisine,
Hams, for instance, are kept for a year,
or even two years, buried In heaps OF
sawdust, which imparts to them a taste
Of wood much appreciated by the gour-
NETS. Broad beans are fermented, and,
after being mixed with salt, form very
fayorite sauce eaten with all sorts of
viands. Finally, the habit Of eating
''rotten eggs" which sounds so strange
to European ears, is explained by show
ing that the so-called rotten egg is only
ducks egg preserved for long time in
an air-tight envelope made Of ashes,
chalk, tea-leaves, and number of other
strange substances, until the yelk turns
first to green color, and then to fine
black, when it is considered fit to be
eaten.

A SOLDIERS PRESENCE OF MIND.

A Russian paper contains the following
among several hitherto unpublished anec-
dotes of the late Emperor Nicholas. One
day the emperor, who was one of the strict
est and most infexible of disciplinarians
met in street in st. Petersburg drunken
dragoon, who was riding in drosky. In
great rage the Gar stopped the drosky and
angrily asked the soldier what he was doing.
The imminence of his danger partially
sobered the latter. He rose in his car
riage, drew his sword, and, saluting the
Car, said:
81 am taking drunken soldier to the
guard-room, your Majesty"
The Emperor Nicholas smiled, gave the
soldier a fve-rouble piece, and told his
coachman to drive him, not to the guard
room, but home.

TIMBER CULTURE.

We feel sure that the subject of timber
culture does not engage the attention of the
public as it's merits demand The annual
consumption Of railroad ties alone is over
100000. 1t requires thirty years growth
to produce the average railroad tie. There
are over 10000 miles of railroad in this
country, making over 10000 miles of fenc-
ing, which costs over $50, 600, 900, and over
$15, 1000, 900 annually for repairs. We have
over $4,000 miles of telegraph wires, which
require over 100000 telegraph posts, and
the annual repair takes 10000 more. But
if we should go on and enumerate the
amount required for farm fencing, buildings,
brick burning (Which requires 1000, ZOO
cords Year,, match making, shoe pegs, fur
niture making, saddle-tree making, packing
boxes, scythe and tool handles of all kinds,
wagons, carriages, agricultural implements,
and fire wood, it would swell the grand total
to at least 5000, 100000 annually. And,
Notwithstanding this great demand and short
ened supply, the havoc of lumber destroying
is going on just as rapidly as ever. The
time is coming when this wholesale destruc-
ton will be regretted. The supply will be ex-
hausted, and then it will take more than fifty
years to restore it at great expense and labor,
and the supply thereafter can never be made
equal to the demand for it. Those who will
now turn their attention to timber culture
and to the preservation of what timber they
have, will receive big reward in the fu-
