TREATMENT OF ANIMALS m
EUROPE.

have come to understand why carriage
hire is cheap in Europe, at least in North
Germany, says a correspondent abroad. No
body would ride after such horses in Amer.
lea if they were paid for doing so, l am
sure. droscky is light landau, but with
very heavy wheels, holding four persons
besides the driver, and | have seen four
trunks piled on the coachman's box. One
horse draws this load, and horses so moor
and small that Mr.. Bergh would condemn
every one of them. Five persons ride be-
hind these poor beasts half a day at n
time, and naturally the animal has TO be
beaten.
On my first drive in Europe The horse fell
and lay helpless and hurt. A great crowd
collected, not because of the horse, for that
was no unusual sight, but because of me,
for nobody but myself seemed TO have a
thought or an inclination to coax the poor
thing to rise, and so grew very conspic-
uous, and when il got on its feet it got a se-
we're cut from the whip to add to its other
wounds, and of course I grew indignant,
adding another popularity to the long list
attributed to American ladies.
II you have a soft place in your heart for
animals you must suffer in Europe. The
poor dogs give me heartaches.- They are
harnessed into little wagons and beaten un-
mercilully. Cows draw loads of every
kind. saw two pulling very heavy load
OF coal to-day. AT night they are milked.
II you do not want to be haunted, avoid
looking into the eyes of a weary COW made
a beast Of burden.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

in refraining from being mean to other
you are good to yourself
Every man is bound TO tolerate the acI
Of which he himself sets the example.
In matters of prudence your lasl
thoughts are best in morality first thoughts
are best
Hope is like the wing Of an angel, sour
ing up to heaven and bearing our prayers
TO the throneof God.
Reflect upon your present blessings, Of
which every man have many not on your
past misfortunes, Of which all men have
some.
The most adroit falsehood is but thin
ice, that may break any day. The true art
is 10 know how 10 hold the truth, and how
to withhold it, but never To deal in any
thing else.
An Indian philosopher being asked
what were, according 10 his opinion, the
two most beautiful things in the universe,
answered; The starry heavens above our
heads, aud the feeling Of duty in our hearts.

How the japanese Keep Meat Fresh

The japanese method of keeping meat
fresh in bot weather consists in placing the
raw flesh in porcelain vessels and pouring
on 1t boiling water, whereby the albumen on
the surface is quickly coagulated, and forms
protection against the further action OF
the water. oil is then poured on the sur.
face Of the water so as to prevent the access
OF air and consequent putrefaction of the
meat The system Of protecting animal
substances by securing coagulations of their
albumen and the exclusion of air is, Of
course, no novelty, and it can hardly be sup
posed that we are indebted to the japanese
for its original adoption. 1t is, however,
much 10 be preferred to our own method.

FACTS Fon rurE CURIOUS.

Some of the arched bridges built by the
Romans are now in use. The Porte Afolo
at Rome was erected 100 B. C.
An alligator known to be twenty. two
years old was caught recently in steel trap
near Talbotton, Ga. He was fiye feet four
inches long, and in 1861 escaped from
pond belonging to Levi B. Smith.
Near Jerusalem is building entirely
rock cut, about ninety feet wide and one
hundred feet high, which is reported to DO
the place to which the Apostles retired be-
fore the seige of that city.
The great Russian diamond, now in the
scepter of Russia, weighs 1913 carats, + over
one ounce. The original weight of the Koh-
inoir was 800 carats, which was reduced 10
279 by the unskilliulness of the artist who
cut it.
The weight of barrel of flour is based
upon the English unit of weight known as
"stone." There are fourteen pounds in a
stone and fourteen stones in barrel of -four.
This is why barrel of -four weighs 1876
pounds.
Prof. Paige, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, has
an intelligent crane that relshes fat mouse,
and is often supplied from trap set in the
house. 1t was recently noticed watching
intently at hole leading in beneath the
barn. II was soon rewarded by the sight Of
a mouse, which it caught, killed and ate. II
then resumed vigilance at the mouse hole.
The lead used in sounding from ves-
sci usually weighs about fourteen pounds
but in deep see soundings a weight of not
less than $50 pounds is usually employed.
Wire has been largely used for a line. as Il
makes less friction in sinking through the
water. With hemp rope a sinker of SOC
weight is sometimes twenty minutes in
reaching the bottom in 500 fathoms Of
water, so great is the friction Of the line.
Machines in watch factory will cut
screws with $50 threads TO the inch the
finest used in a watch has $50. These
threads are invisible To the naked eye, and
1t takes $4,000 of the screws to make a
pound. A pound of them is worth six
pounds Of pure gold Lay one upon piece
OF white paper and it looks like tiny steel
filing.

"What was ?" replied the brother.
"Why, Pretty Darling Puss.' If YOU
