MANY persons like rare, or as our En-
glish cousins call it, underdone
meat. 1t has the advantage of greater
digestibility, but the drawback, that
the eggs of tapeworms, trichine and
such like unwelcome guests may lurk
in vigorous life in it. Even a more Sc
rious danger has lately been pointed
out by DIR. Toussaint, of Paris. He
thinks that the poison which produces
consumption and scrofula is thus intro
duced into the system. The raw flesh
of tuberculous animals, he AYERS, can
communicate the disease, and, as such
animals are far from uncommon, he
recommends that all meat be subjected
to temperature of at least 160 degrees
throughout before being eaten.
PRESERVING FURs.-We have heard
old-time housekeepers talk about air
ing" things in order to prevent their
being moth eaten, but we have found
the reverse of this to be better. As soon
as furs, woolens, etc., are laid aside, put
them where the moth millers cannot get
access to them to deposit their eggs, and
they are safe from their ravages. Dur
ing the summer months we keep fox
carriage robe by rolling it up and slip
ping it into thick paper flour sack, and
pasting paper over the entrance-putting
it up early, before any millers are flying.
Dealers in furs paste paper around where
the corners fit on the boxes, making
them almost alright, and keeping them
safely from all injury from moths

School Superintendents, Meeting.

At the annual meeting of the Michigan
Association of Superintendents of
Schools, held at Lansing, thirty-two Su-
perintendents from widely separated Sec
tions of the State were present. President
Lawton called the meeting to order and
explained its objects. The question OF
teachers meetings in graded schools was
discussed by Messrs. Daniels of Grand
Rapids, Gass of Flint, Sill of Detroit,
Glenn of Marshall, Fairfield of Tecum-
sch, Cocker of Adrian, Lawton OF
Jackson, Gass of Jonesville, Howell OF
Three Rivers, and Cover of Lansing.
The association adopted and ordered
printed report of the committee ap-
pointed one year ago to outline course
of reading for pupils in all graded
schools, after which lengthy discussion
took place on the subject of "What kind
of books should public school library
contain, and how should they be used,
both by scholars and teachers ?" The
question of the use of the microscope In
teaching the natural sciences was also
brought before the meeting.

The Robin at His Best.

In paper on English and American
Song Birds" in The Century Mr.. John
Burroughs says, in the robins behalf:
When the Duke of Argyll, who is a
lover of the birds and good ornitholeg.
ist, was in this country, he got an i'm
preston that our song-birds were infe-
rior to the British, and he refers to
others OF his countrymen as of like opin-
ion. No wonder he thought our robin
inferior in power to the missal thrush,
in variety to the mavis, and in melody
to the blackbird. Robin did not and
could not sing to his ears the song he
sings to ours. Then it is very likely
true that his Grace did not hear the
robin in the most opportune moment
and season, or when the contrast of his
song with the general silence and DESC
lation of nature is the most striking and
impressive. The nightingale needs to
be heard at night, the lark at dawn,
rising to meet the sun; and robin, if you
would know the magic of his voice,
should be heard in early spring, when,
as the sun is setting, he carols steadily
for ten or fifteen minutes, from the top
OF some near tree. There is perhaps no
other sound in nature; patches of snow
linger here and there; the trees are naked
and the earth is cold and dead, and this
contented, hopeful, re-assuring, and
wlthal musical strain, poured out so
freely and deliberately, fills the void
with the very breath and presence of the
spring. 1t is simple strain, well suited
to the early season; there are no nitric
acies in it, but its honest cheer and
directness, with its slight plaintive tinge,
like that of the sun gliding the tree-tops,
go straight to the heart. The compass
and variety of the robins powers are not
to be despised either. A german who
has greet skill in the musical education
of birds told me what was surprised to
hear, namely, that our robin surpasses
the European blackbird in capabilities
of voice"

Economical Devices.

People who reside in crowded cities
are desirous of economizing space, are
glad to use q peculiar kind Of furniture,
which is made to serve two or three
purposes Mt once. An elaborate writing
desk, with INK, pens and paper, is really
a wash stand, An elaborate etagere, or
book case, is q bed or wardrobe. A
chair can be changed into foot tub.
A "chromo" proves to be looking-glass;
q slop-bucket and pitcher and basin is q
praying stool; and candelabra with
wax candles proves TO be an arrangement
for concealing towels and tooth brushes.
Why can't the piano be made to serve .
double purpose?

Trouble Behind the Scenes.

"Let me tell you one thing, my boy,
said the director, settling back in his
chair, "the manager of an italian opera
does not pass much of his time on bed
OF roses. The public comes here, ele-
gantly attired, and smilingly awaits the
rising OF the curtain-and the curtain
always rises at the proper time. Little
the people in the boxes know what may
be going on behind the curtain. Per-
haps the Carmen, who is soon to
burst upon the stage and capti-
vate hearers with Amor Misterioso, is
rolling her eyes and stamping her foot,
and threatening to withdraw her SER
vices. Perhaps there are three or four
lawyers on the stage trying to make
mischief. The director has to pour oil
on the troubled waters, and pacify
everybody before the curtain goes up.
A great operate tenor or prima donna is
like dynamite, which will explode if you
look at it. They must get up the oper-
attic steam some time during the day.
The late Mr.. Lumely, my predeces.
sor as Director of Her Majesty's Theatre,
who aptly remarked once that he had no
confidence in singer who placidly at
tended the rehearsals, came regularly to
the theatre and never caused confusion.
Artists who never exhibited passion
were not apt to be great, he used to say.
Mr.. Macready, you know, when engag-
ing his dresser, whom knew very well,
arranged that when he shook him he
should pay him double wages, and when
he struck him his pay should be trebled.
/ think that dresser used to get treble
wages all the while Macready was at
Drury Lane. 1 went once to Macready's
dressing-room during the performance.
The tragedian had the dresser in the
corner and was nearly choking him. He
was rehearsing his part. He afterward
rushed upon the stage and startled his
audience by his brilliant acting"

AnecdOte of Schiller.

An anecdote of Schiller, the German
poet, illustrates the fcarlessness which
marked him when q small boy: Black
clouds, one day, announced an approach
ing thunderstorm. Flashes of lightning
began to dart through the atmosphere.
Inquiry was made for the boy, but he
was nowhere to be found. The tempest,
meanwhile, came nearer and nearer
the thunder rolled awfully, and light
ming burst from the bosom of the murky
clouds.
The whole family was employed in
seeking him. He was at length found,
just at the moment Of descending from
the top of very tall lime-tree, near the
house. The father cried:
"Why, my son, where have you
been ,"
" L only wanted to see," replied the
fearless boy, "where all that fire came

Why He Quit Specializing.

He is an old gray haired clerk in
Wall street Office. The boys we're asking
him, at lunch time, why he never specu-
lated, and after some little hesitation, he
replied:
"There was time when / was a con-
firmed stock gambler. 1t was years ago,
and / was book-keeper in Broadway
store. had some money left me by my
father, and l earned pretty good salary,
but in year after my first deal in stock
1 was cleaned out of cash, owed for four
weeks board, and had drawn my salary
month ahead. In this emergency L
robbed the store of s., 900 and made
false entry on the books to conceal my
crime"
"Is it possible" gasped several voices
in chorus.
"Yes gentlemen, it is. / knew that
could conceal the theft for week, and at
the end of that time I hoped to have
made big stake in Wabash and be on
my feet again. 1 invested the stolen
money in that stock and waited. It
jumped up little, fell, and jumped
again, and finally dropped out of sight
and swept my capital away"
"And you were ruined?"
81 thought so. Discovery must come,
and my employer was a man who would
have sent me to prison. 1 determined to
go and drown myself. Discovery must
come on Saturday. Friday night I
closed the books and walked down Beck
man street to the river, calculating to
leap in and become food for sharks. AS
/ neared the ship came upon stranger,
sick, and wet, and unable to move. He
asked me to secure q carriage for him,
and said he had plenty money to reward
me. A fiendish thought flashed through
my brain; it was hardly conceived before
executed. grasped his throat, choked
him senseless, robbed the body, and
heaved it into the water, and then fed"
"You don't say SOP" they shouted.
"Facts, gentlemen-cold facts. His
wallet contained $4,000 1 took $3, 900
to replace the stolen money, and with
the rest bought me the property / now
own across the river. / made solemn
VOW never to speculate again, and have
kept it."
"And were you never found out?"
"Never; and hope none of you will
peach on me now."
While they looked at each other in q
dazed way the old clerk finished his
beef, wiped off his mouth, and observed:
"Got to go now. Remember mum is
the word. If it's noised around might
have the victims heirs bowling around
here for compromise of fifty cents on the
dollar. - Wall Street NeDs.

THE stubborn bravery of a station
agent named Way, at East River, Conn.,,
on the Shore Line railroad, between
New Haven and New London, prevented
terrible railway catastrophe. Alone
and unarmed he beat off three tramps
who were engaged in preparing an OBJ
strrction with view to wrecking the
express train on bridge, and although
shot through the arm he remained at his
post and warned the train and another
which followed soon after, and thereby
averted vhat must otherwise have
proved to be an awful horror. When
negligence and carelessness so often &c
unpunished, heroic fidelity such as this
ought not to go unrewarded.

MAJ. N. WLLoUGHBY WALLACE, of
the English army, has patented spade,
large number of which have been
ordered for army use. The spade only
weighs two pounds, and is about two
feet long, and can be carried in the belt.
The Standard says oft: :" 1t can be used
as ar instrument of rough measurement
to give the dimensions of the regulation
shelter trenches and rifle pits, and is
available for cutting wood or breaking
down walls, and in case of emergency
would in itself make no bad weapon OF
offense when men come to close quarters.
1t could serve on occasions as splint
or frying-pan, and its author claims for
it that litter can be extemporized il
two blades be laid fiat together and
tightly bound with cords, bandages or
handkerchiefs. We are bound to say
that al this sounds very much like the
toy weapon which Lieut.. Green asserted
would not be found of first utility in
war but the adoption of any lntrench-
ing tool at all is so satisfactory, and
shows such determination to overcome
old prejudices, that we are in the mean
time more inclined to optimism than to
criticism" The Standard is also OF
opinion that the introduction of the
spade carried into battle by each soldiei
marks the commencement OF a new era
in the training of the British army, and
that, having made one reform, others
will follow, among them the abandon
ment of standing still in the defensive
and march in solid columns, the adop
ton of new principles in field tactics,
and the carrying of steel shields to pro
tect field Qunners.

THE California papers, while COM
mending the signing of the bill restrict
ing Chinese immigration for ten years,
say that the State has difficult problem
to solve in dealing with those already
there. The number of Chinese in the
State will reach about 100000, it is be-
lieved, before the law takes effect. The

lutely indispensable to the prosperity OF
the State that we adopt some measure to
decrease this number. The drain on our
resources is too great. The withdrawal
of so much money each N onth from the

CHRISTIAN f. SCHAEFER, a Hessian
traveller of wide and strange experience,
recently died in a lunatic asylum near
Sydney, in Australia. Of delicate frame
and long afflicted with chronic spinal
disease, he had spent the whole of his
life in travel, chiefly on foot. France,
Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Turkey, Pal
estine, Japan, America, New Zealand,
Australia-all these he had seen without
money to pay his way. For food and
shelter he relied upon the benevolence
of strangers; on land he walked; on sea
he worked his passage. 1t is estimated
that for many years his walks averaged
1000 miles per annum, and that in his
time he had gone on foot over total
of $50, 900 miles.

A SINGULAR case of death was that of
Michael Kane, a Philadelphia saloon
keeper, who, having been bitten by a
Scotch terrier, fancied he was to die of
hydrophobia. He became so greatly
excited by constant brooding over the
morbid fancy that he actually did die,
three weeks from the time of being Bit
ten, with symptoms not unlike those
attending death from hydrophobia.
