A sCoUNDREL attempted at Poughkeepsie to blow
up a neighbor's house. against whom he had spite,
with a dynamite bomb. This is loud warning that
the Internal machine business must be suppressed

What puzzles us is, why should a
man have such spite at a house as to
wish to DESTROY it?

Pertinent Facts About Eating.

In recent number of he London
!S!a"du'l under the query, Do we eat
too much = the writer gives many in
teresting facts. He says, for instance,
that the amount OF nou,ishment which
person needs greatly depends on his
constitution, state OF health, habits and
work. A sedeutary man requires less
than one whose duties demand the ex-
ercise of his muscles, and brain.
worker needs more than an idler. But
unqucstionably the majority Of us tase
more than we need. Indeed, food and
work are distributed most uuequally.
The man Of leisure is also the man Ci
means, and accordingly, fares suElp
tuously every day; while the laborer
tolls for eight hours, and finds it diff
cult to get enough to repair the waste
of his tissues. Yet Chinaman or a
Bongalec will toll under a tropical sun,
and find a few pice worth of rice or
j)wrah sufficient to sustain his strength.
\ Frenchman will not eat half what an
Euglishman engaged in the same work
will demand, and Spanish iaborer,
content in ordinary times with q water
melon aud bit of black bread, will
toll in the vineyards and grow fat
or dietary OF onion porridge and
grapes. 1t is true that Mr.. Brassey,
when building tie Continental railways,
found that one English navy was worth
couple Of spare-fed foreigners. But,
on the other hand, the British Colurl-
bia and Californian, goid-diggers,
than whom more magnificent set of

beans favored with few cubes of pork.
But they also obtain the best of water
and the puroat Of air, anu their out
door life and active exercise enable
them to digest every ounce Of their
frugal fare. The English soldiers,
though better fed than those Of any
Amy except The American, DO rot get

which Tie id!cst OF clubloungers con-
siders Indispensable for his susten2nce.
An athlete III training IS allowed even
less food; yet he prospers on the limit
Ell fare, and psolongs his life by the
rcsimen by which he has been sub
jectyd. King Victor Emmanuel was a
monarch Of the most robust rlyt'QTe;
yet he only ate one meal per day, and it
Is manifcstly absurd for any man to re-
Quire three moro of less woighty meals,
and au afternoon cup of tea, to support
the exertion OF walking to the club:
riding an hour in the park,
writing note or two, and dancing a
couple of miles around ballroom.
The ancients had their amethustoi, ~
or sober stones" by which they regu-
lated their indulgence at table. The
nloderns have not even this. But they
have their govt and their livers to warn

A Happy Bird Family.

In Ithaca, N. Y, there lives a lady
who has as many as one hundred canary
birds in one room. Mrs. Ellis is the
lady's name. The floor of the room is
covered with nice, clean sawdust, and
there are two pretty trees, in the
boughs Of which the birds swing and
sing and sing and swing until one might
suppose that their little heads would
become dizzy, or their musical little
throats wear out. What is very inter
esting is that ninety.eight Of the birds
are the children or grandchildren of
one pair. And such children! Some
of them are as yellow as as ball of yell
low zeyphr; others are green, many
black, few nearly white, and almost
all variegated. Mrs. Ellis knows every
bird in the room, for every one of them
has name-Rob, Chick, Keet, Queet,
Che-we, or somes such name-and she
can tell the exact age to day, OF every
bird. The only door opening into the
room has wire screen in the place OF
glass, so that the little fellows may
have plenty of air, and in summer time
a fre-screen takes the place of the
panes of glass. All around the room
are little boxes or cages, with doors
open and covers off, and in these the
members of the family sleep, with
heads under wing, all night. Perhaps
Mrs. Ellis has the largest bird.cage in
the United States.

The Character of Alexander.

1t has been said that none of mortal
birth ever went through such an ordeal
as Alexander the Great; and Arrian in
sists on certain points which ought not
to be forgotten in forming an estimate
of his hero. He was the son of the able
and unscrrpulous Philip and of the VIC.
lent Olympias. He was brought up in
a Court VIGOROUSLY licentious. He was
q king at twenty-five greatest monarch
of the world before thirty. a general
who never knew defeat, he was sur
rounded by men vastly inferior to him
self. who intrigued for his favor and
fat!ered his weakness. Thus inherit
ing fierce and ambitious temper, and
placed in circumstances calculated to
foster it, it would have been little short
OF miracle had Alexander shown q
character without alloy. To stand on q
pinnacle of greatness higher than man
had ever reached before, and to be free
at the same time from vanity, would
have required combination OF virtues
impossible before Christ, perhaps never
possible. Alexander was beyond ques.
ton vain, impulsive, passionate, at
times furious: but he had strong affec-
tions, and called out strong affections
in others. A man of energy and ambi-
ton, he was the hardest worker of his
day both in body and mind. Incapa-
bic of fear, he foresaw difficulties or
combinations which others never
dreamed of, and provided against them
with success. Amid endless tempta-
tions this son Of Philip remained COM
paratively pure. Unlike his fellow
countrymen, he was (says Arrian) no
great drinker, though he loved ban
quet and its genial flow Of conversation.
On one point in his character Arrian
dwells with an admiration in which we
may heartily join. Alexander, he says,
stood almost alone in his readiness to
acknowledge and express regret for
having done wrong.
1t would be difficult to conclude this
short sketch OF heroic life more aptly
than in the words of Bishop Thirlwall.
Alexander was one of the greatest of
earth's sons-great above most for what
he was in himself, and not, as many
who have borne the title, for what was
given to him to effect; great in the
course which his ambition took, and
tao G. ~ 'aral aims which epnobled and
purihc>. -, SO that it almost grew into
one with the highest of which man is
capable, the desire of knowledge and
the love Of good-in word, great as
one of the benefactors of his kind"

An Educated Horse.

You ask if we have any particularly
bright horses" replied hook and lad
er man. Here is Peter; he's been
withus nine or ten years, and we rath-
or brag on him. Let me introduce you.
Peter, hero is chap from the Detroit
Free Press"
Peter nodded his head and paved the
floor.
"Peter, have you been to the fire to-
day. He shook his head.
We're you out yesterday"
He nodded.
Peter, how old are you?"
The horse paved thirteen times with
his right foot. ...
"That's right, old boy. Do you re-
member when loafer stabbed you at
the fre?"
He did.
"Where is the SCARF"
Peter bent himself almost double to
bite his hip at spot where scar cou Id
be traced.
"Now Peter. show the Detroit man
how You take your place at the pole"
Down went the chain and the horse
covered the distance at two jumps.
"Now walk around the truck, and
come and take my hat off,"
The horse obeyed to the letter.
"Now," continued the man, rs he
lay down on the floor, "step over me"
Peter lifted up his feet very high and
stepped softly over, and returned to his
stall.
"That horse is one of u.s." said the
man, as he brushed off the dust and sat
down.
We can rest the foot of a ladder on
his back and he will not move. Where
ever we stand him at a fire there he
will stay without watching. He eats
with us, chews tobacco, likes beer and
would learn to play dominoes in week
if he could only handle them

Friendly People.

1t is often charged that people living
in cities are calloused and hard.
hearted, but incidents transpire almos.
daily to prove that the contrary is
true. A case in point happened yester.
day morning on Gratiot avenue. An
old man was leading a large, fat COW
lnts the city. The noise and confusion
excited her, and when he reached
Hastings street he had more than he
could do. Twenty boys at once volun-
teered to assist him without hope of
reward, and they cheerfully called to
their assistance about half as many
dogs. The COW had made up her
mind not to stir foot, but in less
than ten minutes the boys had run her
against street car. cleared half block
OF sidewalk, driven her in and out q
hardware store, pulled a hitching.post
out by the roots, and quoted her down
in several other respects. Then a
policeman appeared and wanted to
know why that COW didn't move on,
and while the crowd was taking a
breathing spell he volunteered to lead
her q few squares. No man ever had a
purer motive, and no man ever put in
five such jumps to get into a grocery
before two horns got into him. At this
juncture citizen came along in an
open buggy. If he had been calloused
and hard.hearted he would have trot.
ted past without care. But he was
not. He kindly offered to hitch the
cow to his buggy and tow her any
where within the city limits, and after
a great deal of trouble she was made
fast. When the horse started up it was
a question of horse VS.. COW, but the COW
concluded to go. She, however, diff.
fered as to the direction, and when the
rope frightened the buggy was slowed
around. the hind wheels came down
with crash, and the horse disappeared
around the corner with the fore wheels
and the box. The COW then made of
toward homo at gallop, and her dazed
owner was offered advice as to how to
catch her by crowd of more than two
hundred people. Does this look as il
