Concerning Albums.

An interesting fact exists concerning
photograph albums. Nearly all ara
made abroad. A mandatory was start
ed in this country. but was transferred
10 Germany because hand labor was
cheaper. Albums are sold at about one
third their former cost. The prevailing
fashion. or one of them, in albums now
is the plusli-covered kind. Plush is the
most generally employed fabric used
for numerous purposes. The keeping
of albums has a mania push about il
The owner not only fills it with por-
traits of his intimate friends, but with
those of public characters, from the
noted criminal to the noted statesman.
Autograph albums are American in
production, and are offered in endless
quantities. Their use is confined chief
ly TO children, who delight 70 spoil fair
pages with the pot-hooks and hero
glypiIics of their companions. II there
is time when al impractical man de-
sires to tear and rend his hair it Is when
he is expected to put his name in an
album under an original poem of one
stanza. Album writer's usually or often
express themselves in dead or foreign
tongues. 1t gives kind of classical
reputation to the signer. Amy one can
do it. There are many fine phrases in
the latter pages Of the dictionaries that
can be made to fit anywhere. The
young man who wrote UOtre annie made
good exhibition of the average album

tongue goes great ways in an album.

Bright.

Brutes generally learn by experiment.,
habit, accident, or compulsion. Hero
is one that learned by observation. and
must rank with the shrewdest Of the
class. A writer in Nature says that q
friend of his was at one time marron OF
a hospital for poor women and children
which was maintained by subscription.
One of the inmates was blind girl,
who was not there as q patient but
temporarily, till home could be found
for her. She had learned to feed her
self, and at meal-times a tray contain
ing her dinner was placed on her knees
as she sat in comfortable chair for her
special convenience in feeding herself
One day, while she was eating. the
pet cat of the establishment placed her
self before the girl and looked long and
earnestly ut her, so earnestly that the
matron, fearing the animal meditated
some mischief to the girl, took her out
of the room.
Again the next day, at the same
hour, the cat entered the room. but this
time walked quickly TO the girls side,
reared herself on her hind legs. and
noiselessly, stealtbily reached out her
paw to the plate, selected and seized .
morsel that pleased her. and silently as
she came, departed to enjoy her stolen
meal.
The girl never noticed her loss. and
when told of it by her companions
laughed very heartily. II is evident
that the cat, from observation, had
entirely satisfied herself that the girl
could not see. and by 4 process of
reasoning decided she could steal q
good dinner by this practical use OF her
knowledge.

A Dog Story,

A dog in New Mexico. returning one
evening with his sheep TO the fold dis
covered that his master was still in the
shanty, and kept very quiet The next
evening it was the same. But, after
penning up the sheep, the dog smelled
about the door. scratched. barked, and
even howled. for he was getting very
hungry. but his master did not move.
The dog true to his appointed duty,
went on with his sheep on the third
day, but that night wien he drove the
flock into their pen the last one TO at
tempt to get in became a victim Of the
dogs aPPetito. This method OF pro-
viding for his own wants became a part
Of the faithful dogs daily duty. Every
evening the last sheep to try to enter
tho fold was seized by him, and served
for supper and breakfast, and for din
ner the next day. The ranch to which
the dog belonged was in a solitary part
of the territory. and off the track of
travel or visitation. For two years
from tho time of the masters death
as ascertained BY data left by the latter
the faithful dog tended the flock COM
mitted to his charge. and had fresh
mutton for his supper every night. The
flock was not decinated by this steady
drain upon its resources. On the con-
trary, it increased in numbers. and
when at the end Of two years from the
time of the death Of the proprietor the
ranch WAS visited and the remains Of
the owner were found. the dog was still
at his post OF duty, jealously guarding
his flock and driving them to the best
pastures every day and to the fold at
night. before which he slept to keep the
wild shcep-eaters of the plains at civ
il distance

How 10 Make a Poultice.

: Or. Brunton, in Brain, the new Lon
don periodical. gives the following use-
full hints on this subject: The common
practice Of making poultices by mix
ing linseed meal with hot water and
applying it directly to the skin is quite
wrong. because if we do not wish to
burn the patient we must wait until
great portion of the heat is lost. The
proper method is to take flannel bag,
the size of the poultice required, to fill
this with the linseed poultice as hot as
it can possibly be made. and to put be-
tween this and the skin second fan
mel. SO there should be at least two
thicknesses of flannel between the skin
and the poultice itself. Above the
pouitioe should be placed more flannel.
or . piece Of cotton wool. to prevent it
from getting cold. By this method we
are able to apply the linseed meal
boiling hot. without burning the pa
tient. and the heat, gradually diffnsing
through the flannel, affords q grateful
sense of relief. which cannot be OBJ
tained by other means. There are few
ways in which such marked relief is
given TO abdominal pain. as by the ap-
plication of pOultice in this manner.

Ornamentiue Old Trees,


One of the prettiest ornaments upon

made Of an old tree which has passed
its prime, or is quite dead. Saw off the
branches to within three or four feet of
the trunk, according to their size and
number, plant at the base a perennial
climber, as the woodbinc, q native vine.
as the Climber Bittersweet. or q grape
vine even, and the tendrils of whatever
variety is employed will creep up and
over such support. completely clothing
il in verdure, and soon the pendant
and swaying branches and green gar

most conspicuous and attractive objects
on the premises. II woodbine is plant

will be apt to repeat it; indeed. we

Language of the Postage Stamp.

Some ingenious person has given o
meaning to the location Of postage
stamp upon letter. For example.
they say that when a stamp is inverted
on the right-hand upper corner it
means the person written to u to write
no more. If the stamp be placed on
the left-hand upper corner inverted.
then the writer declares his affection for
the receiver of the letter. When the
stamp is in the centre at the top. it sig-
niffes an Affirmative answer 70 qucs-
ton, or the question. as tho case may
be; and when it is the bottom. OF oppo-
site this. it 10 q negativo., Should the
stamp be on the right-hand corner. at .
right angle, it asks the question If the
receiver Of the letter loves the sender;
while in the left-hand corner means
that the writer hates the other. There
is shade of difference between desir-
ing ones acquaintance and friendship.
for example: The stamp at the upper
corner on tho right expresses the form
er, and on tho lower left-hAnd corner
means tho latter. The learned in this
language requests their correspondents
to accept their love by placing the
stamp on line with the surname. and
the response made, if the party address
ed be engaged. by placing the stamp In
the same place by reversing it The
writer may wish to say farewell to his
sweetheart. or vice Cessa, and does %
by placing the stamp straight up and
down in the left-hand corner. And SO
on to the end of the chapter.
