How Russian Wolves Capture Wild
Horses.

Whenever wolves associate together
for mischief, there is always a numer-
GUS train of smaller ones to follow in
the rear and act as auxiliaries in the
work OF destruction. Two large wolves
are sufficient to destroy the most pow
erful horse, and seldom more than two
ever begin the assault, although there
may be score in the gang. 1t is not
less curious than amusing to witness
their ingenious mode of attack. If
there is no snow or but little on the
ground, two wolves approach in the
most playful and caressing manner, w.
ing, rolling, and frisking about, until
the too credulous and unsuspecting VIC
tim is completely put off his guard by
curiosity and familiarity. During this
time the gang, squatting, are looking
on at distance. After some time
spent this way, the two ASSISTANTS sepa-
rate, when one approaches the horses
head, the other his tail, with a shyness
and cunning peculiar to themselves. At
this stage of the attack their frolicsome
approaches become very interesting.
The former is mere decoy; the latter
steadily fixed on the ham-strings or
TANKS of the horse. The critical mo-
ment is then watched, and the attack is
simultaneous. Both wolves spring at
their victim at the same instant-one at
the throat, the other to the falkland,
if successful, which they generally are,
the hind one never lets 90 his hold till
the horse is completely disabled. In
stead of springing forward or kicking,
to disengage himself, the horse turns
round and round, without attempting
defense. The wolf before then springs
behind, to assist the other. The sinews
are then cut, and in half the time
have been describing it the horse is on
its side. His struggles are fruitless.
The victory is won. At this signal the
lookers-on close in at gallop; but the
small fry of followers keep at respect
full distance until their superiors are
gorged, and then they take their turn
unmolested.

What Is q Cold?

On a less authority than the London
Lancet would the theory be credited
that the resolve of person not to take
cold is ample protection against having
one. cit is startling to discover"
says the Lancet, chow. little we know
about the commoner forms of disease.
For example, a 'cold;' what is itP How
is it produced, and in what does it con-
sistP 1t is easy to say cold is chill.
A chill OF what part of the organism?
We know by daily experience that the
body as whole or any of its parts may
be reduced to a considerably lower
temperature than will suffice to give a
man cold if the so-called chill be in
flicted upon the surface suddenly. Is
it, then, the suddenness of reduction
of temperature that causes the cold? 1t
would be strange if it were so, because
few OF the most susceptible of mortals
would take cold from simply handling
a piece of cold metal or accidental con-
tact with ice. The truth would seem
to be that what we call cold taking is
the result of sufficient impression of
cold to reduce the vital energy of nerve
centers presiding over the functions in
special organs. If this be the fact, it
is easy to see why nature has provided
the stimulus of strong fit of sneezing
to rouse the dormant centers, and ena-
BILE them at once to resume work and
avoid evil consequences. This explains
why the worst effects of cold do not as
rule, follow upon chilli which ex-
cites much sneezing. Shivering is
less effective CONFUSION to restore the
paralyzed nervous energy, but in a
lower degree it may answer the same
purpose. The shivering that results
from the effect of poison on the ner-
vous centers is totally different mat
ter. We speak only of the quick mus
cular agitation and teeth chattering
which occur whenever the body is ex-
posed to cold and evil results do not
ensue. 1t follows from what we have
said that the natural indication to ward
off the effects of chill is to restore the
vital energy of the nerve centers, and
there is no more potent influence by
which to attain this object than strong
and sustained effort of the will. The
man who resolves not to take cold sell
dom does.'

COurtship In the Transvaal.

Whenever the son of Boer goes a
counting, he proceeds in the following
somewhat singular manner: He attires
himself in his gayest apparel, puts his
best pipe in his mouth without his
pipe the Boer is neither here nor there),
mounts the most spirited horse he can
lay his hands on to make chivalrous
impression on the object of his affec-
ton, and finally provides himself with
some present to win the heart of the
fair one: After having shaken hands
with all the family, he takes seat and
tries to appear quite at his ease, but
only succeeds in looking rather foolish.
At last, after the solemn silence, which
on ones paying visit to the Boer al
ways precedes conversation, he inquiries
after the health of every one present.
The aunt replies, "Why, what shall
say, nephewP Thank God, think we
are all middling." The uncle is ever
of opinion that all is uphill work with
him." The rest of the family merely
say: "Thank you cousin" and the
young lady whom all this stir is about
preserves most stubborn silence.
Meanwhile the present, generally con-
sisting of dress or some article of
wearing apparel, is produced, and with
some short speech. the last words of
which are but family heard, handed by
the bashful and awkward suitor to the
lady, after which he feels more at his
ease. The future father-in-law, fully
conscious of his greater wisdom and
moral superiority over the beardsless
sutton, avails himself of the awkward
pause which ensues to overwhelm him
with incoherent speculations on the
present Government.
After short interval the young lady
appears in the robe that has been pre-
sented to her, which her sutton looks on
as token of encouragement. On the
table is placed candle, which plays no
mean part in the negotiations about to
begin. Till this candle has burnt out
while it is burning, an opportunity is
afforded to the young man to open his
heart to the young lady, and acquaint
her with his prospects; say, 1000 acres
of land, twenty oxen, hundred sheep,
robust constitution, q mother who
bids fair to be a blessing to her
daughter-in-law, a good house of his
own, etc., etc. Sometimes the young
lady brings a very short bit for the
candle always appears with her), and
then the scene is rather distressing, as
it may be sign that she is either in a
hurry to reject his suit, or eager to ac-
cept it. In the same way long can
die denotes hesitation. 1t also happens,
am told, that in the course of CONVEX
sation the girl slyly cuts off a bit of
the candle; or, making light of all
tedious formalities, suddenly snuffs out
"the lingering taper" and replies to
the suit Of the anxious youth by throw
ing her arms about his neck, making
him happy man for evermore. Rec

Leibnitz's Calculating Machine.

To the objects presented to the sight
seer in the Hanoverian capital most
interesting addition has just been made,
in calculating apparatus, invented by
the illustrious Leibnitz. 1t was, indeed,
at some remote period the property of
the Royal Library of Hanover, but it
had been long lost, and no one knew
what had become of it. There was
evidence that it had once been intrusted
to a certain skilled mechanician in
Gottingen to repair, but it had not been
looked up, and was supposed to have
met with some unworthy fate, as neg
lected things generally do. Hanover
is, however, fortunate in the possession
of an ideal librarian, Herr Counselor
Bodemann. Not content with merely
taking care of what is given into his
hands, he seeks diligently for what has
been lost. A short time ago he hunted
up some valuable ancient oriental
manuscripts from the rubbish beneath
which they were buried, and the present
recovery is entirely due to him. A
patient search was rewarded by the
missing curiosity being found in some
obscure corner of the Gottingen Library,
and after little negotiation its transfer
to the old home was accomplished.
The instrument in its time excited the
establishment and admiration of all Eu-
rope, the merit of the invention being
formally recognized by the Academies
of Paris and London. 1t can readily
perform the operations of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division.
The great mathematician hit upon the
idea of it during a stay in Paris in 1872.

TIE POL YPHONE.

Professor Jones was very wise,
And wore green goggles on his eyes
Or 'twould be better, L suppose,
70 say he wore 'em on his nose
And was so very tall and slim
The street boys made Jest of him,
And to his garments would attach
The label: Here's walking match"
Yet this ungainly friend of ours
Made daily gain IN mental powers.
10 him each coming moment brought
Something of rnoment-fact or thought
And he could bid the boys defiance
When ram bling in the paths of Science,
For many weeks, Professor Jones
Made study of the laws of tones.
Of monographs, and telephones,
And megaphones. he had store
That filled up half his study floor
The number of his tools, indeed,
Would make a work too long to read
With any sort of satisfaction;
But magnets were the chief attraction.
J With these he labored much intent
On making new instrument
Which should, by means of COMMUNICATIONS,
Make both "transmissions" and translations.
Said he: For speech we must have tone,
And every language has its own
(Our heightened English such-and-such,
And so-and-so the lowest Dutch)-
Its given rules to guide infection
In some particular direction.
There's philologic evidence
That all our languages commence
In some lost parent tongue-each root
Each nation modifies to suit
And languages, tits clearly found
In no way differ but in sound.
Now, diaphragms may well be trusted,
If once they re properly adjusted
For language and language b,
According to the phonic key,
(And then connected In circuit
By persons competent to work it
10 transpose these root-derivatlons
Which differ with the tones of nations
So if one sends an English sermon
Twill n RI in
And our Italian learned at home
Can be well understood at Rome"
So saying, the Professor toiled,
And hammered, polished, filed and oiled,
Until. adjusted and connected,
Behold the polyphones perfected
One stood upon the study table,
And one was down stairs in the stable,
Where curious neghbors might not spy it,
And naught renamed to do but try it.
A boy placed at the sending station,
To speak for consideration
The noble language of our nation,
Professor Jones HE'D up the stair
10 listen to the sounds, up there.
Which would at once. no doubt, determine
If English could be changed to German.
That boy below, sad to relate,
Was not In regenerate state:
His language did not smack of schools,
Or go by proper laws and rules
His speech was very shrill, but oh!
Its tone was most exceeding low!
SO then and there the table rang
With slang. and nothing else but slang,
Which, having no equivalent
In German clogged the instrument
And while the disappointed Jones
Stood quaking at the horrid tones
That came from the receiving plate,
DESCENDANT, inarticulate,
The boy began the last new song
There was a clang as from gong
And shattered were the polyphones,
And exc the intellect of Jones!
