The Nervous American Woman.
s. The New York Times has been analyz-
ing the state of American woman, and.
says: z3ss.@
They are, as rule, bundles Of
nerves which lie SO near the surface as
80 be touched by every occurrence, and
which are SO sensible as to vibrate to
every emotion. Their waste of nervous
force is painful to contemplate, for every
student Of humanity knows that it must
sbe requited Whether they talk or wyibe,
stay at home or travel, enjoy OF suffer,
they feel and show an intensity which is
sAbsndly superauous. They expend
force enough in day to last them a
week !; they make trihes momentous );
they throb and thrill over insignia cance.
Always keyed up to concert pitch, they
cannot be toned down without seeming
SO themselves insipid and commonpl
Most Of their feelings are raptures; their
views are ever feryid and high-colored !;
they revel in superiatyes and hunger
HaSftor new ones; they soar in the zenith and
cherish still loftier aspirations. Every
thing is possible to them but repose. : J,

Mr.. Biggs was sauntering around the
Union Depot as the evening train came
in from Buffalo, when surprised with:

Biggs departed, leaving the door ajar.
Jack did not notice it in his eagerness
for immersion.
He had just tumbled out and resumed
his pantal looms when he heard footsteps
approaching tie door. Thinking it was
Biggs returning. he seized the freshly
laundried shirt, opening at the back,
and jammed his head into it. It came
down over his face, completely blindfold-
ing him, and the starch baffied his efforts

just as he commenced straddling
around with suspenders dangling he
heard rustic that CONCEALED his blood.
The door squeaked, and a CHEEKY voice

To Tell the Age of Sheep,

Prof James Law, in n. Y. Tribune.
The books on sheep have seriously
misled the stock-master on this subject.
Almost any sheep owner will tell you
that after a year the sheep gets pair oil
broad teeth yearly, and if you show that
his own three year Odds have four pairs
Of broad teeth he can only claim that
they are exceptions, and protest that
they do not exceed three years OF age.
Now these cases are no exception, lot
all we'll bred sheep have full mouth oil
front teeth at three years old. Some
old, unimproved fiocks may still be
found in which the mouth is not full
until near four years, but fortunately
these are now the exceptions, and
should not be made the standard, as
thew so constantly are. In CJtswolds,
Leicesters, Lineolns, South-Downs, Ok
ford-Downs, Hampshire. Downs, and
even in the advanced Merines, and in
the grades of all these dentition Is COM
plei ed from half year to u year earlier.
The milk or lamb teeth are easily dis.
tinguished from the permanent or broad
teeth, by their smaller size, and by the
thickness OF the jaw bone around their
fangs where the permanent teeth are
still enclosed. As the lamb approaches
q year old, the broad exposed part OF the
tooth becomes worn away, and narrow
fangs projecting above the gums stand
apart from each other, leaving wide In.
teryals. This is even more marked
after the first pair of permanent teeth
have come up, overlapping each other
at their edges, and from this time on
ward the number OF small milk teeth,
and OF broad permanent teeth can usual
" be made out with ease. Another
distinguished feature is the yellow or
dark coloration OF the fangs OF the milk
teeth, while the exposed portions OF the
permanent teeth are white, clear and
pearly. The successive pairs OF per-
msnent teeth make their appearance
through the gums in advanced breeds OF
about the following dates. The Hrst
pair at one year; the second pair at one
YEAR and half; the third pair at two
wears and three months; the fourth and
last pair at three years. 1t will be OBJ,
se rived that between the appearance Of
the first two pairs there is an interval OIL
ak months, while after this each pal
comes up nine months after its predes'
sors. Fer backward grades, and the

Anone thu Wool Houses.

The circulars issued by the various
commission houses during the month
contain little of interest. All note the
Snietness of the wool market, and gem
orally speak hopefully OF the future.
Hallowell & Coburn, Boston, In tneir
first August circular, fail TO see on what
grounds manufacturers base their pre-
dictions of a farther decline, and are In
clined TO think that, "if August 10 espe.
c,slly a dull month, it will be followed
by yery active trade, and a recovery
OF any loss of value that may occur In
the meantime" The especial dizziness
has continued through August, and We
are to look for an active trade.
Walter Brown & Co., Boston, notice
the indications OF firmness, on the hrst
of the month, yet quietness pervades
the market, which continues through
out the month, owing, they seem 10
think, to the immense stock OF domestic
wool received in Boston, probably larger
than for many years during the same
period. They intimate that the sales OF
Ohio wool are not OF woods grown IN
the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West VIZ
ginia section, but inferior lots quoted as
"Ohiy" wool. :.
Edward Mellor & Co., Philadelphia,
along with others, note the continued
strength of medium and staple woods,
and the accumulation and dizziness OF
coarse stock. They anticipate strong
and healthy trade during the coming
month.
Justice, Bateman & Co, Philadelphia,
ia speaking OF the hand to mouth policy
of the manufacturers, say:
Their goods are selling freely, and as
wool is in short supply and below the
cost OF foreign, with reasonable pros.
pect OF on enormous consumption, we
think the present weak condition OF the
market only temporary. A slight up
ward movement would bring an enor-
nous demand, with an advancing mar
ket, but as long as the above mentioned
policy OF buying is pursued by manu-
facturers, wool is likely to remain HAT.
Hallowell 4 Coburn, Boston, again
visit us with a double sheet, and say
that manufacturers are more willing to
purchase, and dealers who were very
willing short time since to make con.
cessions to effect sales are now very
firm in their views, and while boom
in prices is not probable, a slight i'm
proyement is likely to occur.

READS LIKE A ROMANCE.
The Rather Mysterious Story
Told by an Amesbury Surgeon.
From the Boston Glt

From the Boston GloDe.
One evening last week, says the Ames-
bury Neus, a man drove rapidly into our
village in search of a surgeon. Forum
ately one OF our younger members OF the
profession was standing close by drug
store where the man halted, and in a
few words was informed that an accident
had occurred upon the outskirts OF the
town, which rendered his services neces'
sary. Procuring his required apparatus,
he accompanied the stranger. Taking
the direction of the beach, they kept on
a mile or so, when the doctor was in
formed that the utmost secrecy must be
observed in this matter, and that he
would be fully paid for the job; also,
that he would have to be blindfolded
during the rest OF the ride. The doctor,
who likes an adventure, readily assent
ed to this, and after riding several miles
farther, in direction which 1t was i'm
possible for the doctor to determine,
they halted before q one'story hut in
the depths of the woods, where they
dismounted and entered. The person
who had brought the doctor entered
first, and in short time returned for
the doctor. Upon coming into the room
the handkerchief was removed from his
ewes, and he saw before him, upon cot,
a middle aged man Of fine physique and
elegantly dressed. Upon his face was a
silk visor, which prevented an observa-
ton OF his countenance, as was also one
upon the face OF the only attandant.
Silence was enjoined upon all. The
doctor adjusted the broken limb. No
words we're spoken, and hardly groan
escaped from the victim of the accident.
A well-tilled purse was thrust into the
doctors hands. He was again blind.
folded and brought home, arriving here
at3A.M NJ. He is very reticent about the
affair-in fact, he don't know much
about the affair himself, not knowing
where he went or who his patient was,
other than that he was person OF dis
tinction and wealth who was travelling
incognito.

wer the question by saying, mo. give

oyster"
It Is never well to joke on serious sub
jects, for before you know it you may
be bitten. Archbishop Laud, who was
a man Of small stature, was asked when
at dinner with Charles I. to say grace.
he turned loosely to the Kings jester,
who was present, and asked him 10 say
instead. The jester gravely bowed bis
head and said solemnly, Great praise
be given TO God and little laud to the
Devil. Amen"
A prayer which was once offered up
by a Presbyterian minister oil Scotland
may seem to be g little brusquei but 1t
has such clear application to some
things in our own city that to repro
duce it may not be wholly out OF place.
Our Street Cleaning Department will be
kind enough not to regard it as at all
personal. 1t ran as follows: ~ LORD!
have mercy upon all fools and idiots,
and particularly upon the Town Coun'
Gil Of Edinburgh"
Some people want to tell all they
know in a single breath. 1t is well
known that General Butler has been
cruising in Cuban waters, and he has
undoubtedly enjoyed his equatorial trip.
When a gentleman who had just arriv-
ed in the harbor OF Havana said to a
colored man. "Well, my boy, / suppose
there are none OF the old buccaneers in
these waters, are therer" The "boy"
wanted TO give two pieces OF informa-
ton at once, and 80 replied, No, sir;
General Butler left here yesterday"
The people Of Europe never laugh 30
as when good joke has been
perpetrated at the expense of the clergy.
When during severe thunder storm a
bolt fell on the monastery OF the Car
melites, it destroyed the chapel but left
the rest of the building uninjured. A
wit said very gravely that it was an evil
dence of kind and protecting Provi.
dence. This seemed 80 strange state
ment that he was asked to explain.
"Why, don't you see," he answered,
"the thunderbolt struck the chapel, and
the Lord knows that none of the monks
are to be found there. Now, il it had
struck the kitchen it would have de-
stroyed them all.
