A TU1clfan.

In the seventeenth century-two hum dred years or so agO-the dairym en of Scotland, whenever they had an unruly COW which refused to let down her milk to the milker, would bring out tul- chan, by means of which they com pletely deceived the animal, and in duced her to give her milk to the dairy maid freely.
 A tulchan was simply calfskin stuffed with hay in 8 rude manner. Iris imitation caif was brought, it's head bent under the COW, and while the mother thought her young one was drawing off the milk, it was, in reality, the cunning milkmaid who was doing so.
 In 1917, King James. as Carlyle, in his Cromwellfs Letters, tells us, ap- pointed certain men for certain duties in Scotland. The Scotch were very much opposed to these new appointments, for the object of them was to deceive the people and to drain the money away from them.
 For this reason, the Scotch gave these new appointees the name of tulchans- pieces of political mechanism con- structed by the kings council, to de- ceive the poor Scotch and milk" them of their revenue.
 In life, there are, alas, tulchan friends and tulchan friendships, even unto this day. Many 8 lad is deeoyed into evil by tulchan promises and professions. It is TO barn just to drink leetle wine;' D "just to play one game at cards" just to bet small sum !" .s just to go fishing on Sunday this one time" What sort of friends are thesep Real onesp A thousand times no. They are "tul- false-a mere similitude of the truth, Beware of them while they are beguiling you. Satan may step in and make you his prey.-GoJden DGys.

Queer Facts About Animals.

I begin with crabs and Holsters. If Mir. Crab or MT. Lobster loses 8 limb, and wants another in the place of it, the process is easy enough; by waiting, the loss IS repaired by nature, for 8 new limb grows out in due time. Ii, on the contrary, man loses a leg, the best he can do is to get an artificial one. Sup pose our legs and arms hung on so ten derly as those of the lobst era terrible state we should be in, unless we could get new ones as easily as he does; for tue report of 8 cannon will sometimes djsmember 8 lobster.
 The starfsh parts with ray without regret, and feels the jaws Of codfsh chewing off his legs, without 8 sigh; for he knows that kind nature will soon re- place them. Now and then, on the beach, you may find starfish, four of whose legs feet have been amputated by the surgical cod. The loss of finger annoys man more than the loss of four legs does our astronomical friend, the starfish.
 The eft or newt will lose it's tail with out suffering any permanent loss; for, in due time, out grows another. No toe comes in the place of boys toe; but Squire Newt gets a new tail in 8 short time. The sea- anemone exceeds crabs and lobsters and neWts altogether, for you may cut and slice It. and every part becomes brand new anemone. Chop g baby up, and you get only mince meat. The hydra--the small green slime that floats on the surface of stagnant pools may be divided and sub divided in the same way as the anemone, and with the same result. If an adult loses tooth even, he has to go Ill through the pain of the dentists chair, in order to get another, and then only gets nake-be- lieve one. But here are no less than five animals that acquire new tails, legs, and arms, and bodies even without diff culty.-- Golden DayS.

HOrse.Meat ss Food.

The PdTtSiGs, an English paper pub lished in Paris, says: Some very inter- esting statistics have been published by the society for promoting the use Of horse-hesh and the flesh of asses and mules as food, showing how steadily the consumption of these articles of diet have been increasing in Paris and the provinces since the foundation of the society in 1866. The weight has increased from I'll, 300 pounds in 1866 to ,9S2, ,620 pounds in 1879. In the princiral cities of the provinces the consumption of horse flesh may be considered to have fairly taken root. At Marseilles, in 1870, there were 599 horses eaten; l,O31 in 1875. and l l,533 in 1878. At Nancy, J65 i'll 1873, over $50 in 1876, and 705 in 1878; at Rheims, 29l in 1874 423 in 1876 and 384 in 1878; at Lyons 1889 in 1873, and 1913 in 1875. In both the latter cases some difficulties had been thrown in the way by the town authorities, as was the case recently at Chalons sur
 Marne, where the mayor fixed the price ot horse flesh at a higher rate than that of beef. The average price of horse meat is from twenty-five to thirty cents per pound. Each horse furnishes about 900 kilogrammes (400 weight) of meat, which is capable of being prepared in many by no means unappetizing ways, such as pot au leu boiled, roast, hashed, haricot, jugged, tilet, etc.

A Singular Text.

Many doubtless remember the style which obtained among ladies some years since, of gathering their hair together and piling it in stationary mound on the upper portion of the head by the aid ofsundry little steel instruments. While this fashion was in vogue, an orthodox clergyman of 8 certain village, regarding it as an abomination, was determined to use his influence against it and preach it down." Accordingly, one Sabbath morning, he mounted his pulpit, and gave out as his text, "Topknot come down." and in short the congregation were much exercised" because the worthy pastor had preached from text not to be found in the Scriptures. On Tuesday they called him before g con- vocation of tbe saints for the purpose of making a formal charge against him from his cure. The charge was made, and he was asked if he had aught to say in reply. He mildly remarked that the text was to be found in the Bible; and that if they would hand him one he would point out it's location and read it to them. A Bible was given him, and he turned slowly to the place and read : And let those upon the house-top not come down" A vote of adjournment was then passed.

A Mexican POmueii.

A correspondents, writing froa.- Mexico, says: Charney has discovered what he very properly terms The In dian or Mexican Pompeii-a city buried for at least GOO years" In my last mentioned the discovery ot villa near Tula. That house has now been fully uncovered, and found to contain twenty five rooms, fifteen staircases and twelve corridors Attached to it are two cis- terms, with clay pipes which were used to convey water to different apartments. Some of the household utensils are of coarse clay, few of porcelain and one article of glass! Remember Tollan, the capital of the Tolltec empire, covered not only the present site of the town of Tula, but the spot where Mr. Charney discovered the villa, and now he is unearthing, near the former building, . large palace. Perhaps during these excavations he may find historical data that will clear up ali mystery with re- gard to the origin of the first inhabitants of the Western continent.

Middle Age.

An exchange considers middle age as the great test of mans character. It is the five barred gate which rises sud- denly before him in the middle of his journey. Some men walk calmly up to 1t, open the lock, and pass through with the same equable, steady step as before; others spring over it and canter on. frisky, reckless, and ridiculous as in youth; while some, princIpally women, creep under it, and go smirking along, pretending that they have never yet en- countered it. Single men and women like these, who ignore their years and try to be young, have been butts for ridicule since time began; boys and girls are always savagely merciless on em. And yet, this made-up, waltzing old beau, this wan, worn woman, covet- ing notice, aping the airy graces of rosy girls, how pitiable and tragical they are! ]! They have somehow missed their birth- right. They have not secured the great possessions which mace the middle age solid apd full, and must they give up their youth, toop Shall they have nothingp The desperate hold which they keep on it is not so Imaginable when one comes to think of it.

The Capitol at Washington.

The capitol of Washington stands almost in the center of the plan of the city. The cornerstone was laid in l793 by Washington. The building was of free-stone from Acquia creek painted white, and was originally much smaller and more symmetrical. It was burned by the British in the war of 1872. and was only rebuilt after stormy debate in Congress, which was assembled some where else. But with the growth of the country it was found much too small; l; the extensions were ordered, their cor ner-stone was laid with Daniel Webster as the orator Of the day, and they were completed in 1863. The structure has cost, in all, about S3, OO0, 900.
 One would gather little idea of the size of this building by being told that it is 75O feet long by 325 broad; one might better comprehend it, perhaps, on learning that it's ground plan occupies three and a half acres.

The Achinese.

Ache en has been some years at war with the Netherlands, which c.aims sovereignty over all Sumatra, but which have had no little trouble in enforcing their claim. The kingdom of this name extends from the river Sinkel to the west end of the island, and has coast line as long as that of France. It was once powerful state; has an area of 22, ,000 square miles, and 8 population of about 450, 900. The natives ot Sumatra are principally Malays, who profess, rather than practice, Mohammedanism In appearance, manners and customs the Achinese differ widely from all the inhabitants, except the Lampongs, of other parts of Sumatra. They are tall, well-formed, active, intelligent, but cunning, proud, perfdious and very cruel. Their habits are simple, though they are opium eaters and slaves of the drug Caste prevails among them as we'll as polygamy, their wives being bought from their nearest relatives at rates regulated by youth, physical con di ion and personal experience. TlIe Achinese houses are erected on posts of ironwood, and several families live under one roof. Acheen alone pro- duces 5000 tons of pepper annually, and exports cotton, raw silk, benzoin. camphor, satin wood, sulphur, gold and precious stones, receiving in exchange salt, opium, manufactured goods, etc. The Achinese will give anything for opium-many of them subsist on it. even it's weight in gold, ii they can get 1t on no better terms. They are supe- Tior in every way to the other Malays of the island, and are far more formidable in war. Marco Polo visited Sumatra in the thirteenth century; Alvaro Talezo in 1906, aud Siguera in 1909, the Port1- guese then beginning to trade with the natives. Ninety years later, tae Dutch reached SuHlatra under Houtman, who, on a second visit, was treacherously murdered at Acheen. Two vessels from Zealand, with Commissioners-G General De Roi and Laurens Bikker, arrived there in 1901; were kindly received by the native king; procured full cargoes, and returned with two Achinese ambas- sadors. The Dutch afterward drove the Portuguese from their factory at Pulu Tzinko to the south of Padang, which became (l666) the seat of Dutch power on the coast. Within few years Ben- coolen was surrenC cred to them, and the southern division of Sumatra soor followed. Various rebellions have since occurred, with the invariable re- suit of increasing the territorial posses sions of the Netherlands. An expedi- Gton was sent III IOo0 to the King or Asahan, 8 small state on the northeast coast, to compel him to submit to Dutch authority, and, since 1872, the Neither lands have been engaged in hostilities, more or less ac i've, with the Achinese, who are steadily melting away. They have been the chief obstacle to the en- tire control of Sumatra, and their oppo- sition cannot, in the nature of things, last very much longer. The Dutch will soon be absolute masters of the whole of Sumatra.

medical fraternity was that of sailor in the United States navy who fell over- board, and, singularly enough for sea- was, to all appearances, drowned. He was fished out of the water, and his comrades, believing that he was a corpse, wrapped him in blanket pre-. paratory to the last rites for the dead at sea. The surgeon or the vessel had an electrical battery on board, and with it he gave the supposed dead man several such severe shocks that the "corpse" came to life, and the chaplain was saved the trouble of reading the funeral service. .-NeaO York Star.
