A Boys HerOISm.

During the recent cross examination of John H. Leeds before railroad con- mittee in New Haven, the interesting fact was brought to light that Mr. Leeds had life pass over the New York and New Haven road, given him for 8 courageous deed performed thirty three years ago. On the evening of June 24, 1849, Leeds was watering his fathers cattle in brook near the rail- road. Whils there he heard the puff of an engine behind the hills, and boy like sat on the fence to wait for ii to go by. Presently he heard train coming from the opposite direction. It was 8 single track road, and soon be 8 collision unless prevented. Without an instant's hesitation he bounded on to the track cap in hand, in front of the coming locomotive. He stood his ground till the engine was al- most on him, and he lost part of his jacket in jumping aside. The engineer understood his meaning and stopped the train. The two trains were brought to halt within about two rods of each other. The company presented Leeds with handsome silver cup, life pass and plimentary letter. When young Leeds was ready to leave the farm the directors gladly engaged him, and the simple occurrence of that calm June evening near his country home has had much to do with directing the course of one of the most successful men of the State

they shall arouse from their apparent indifference and demand that party place holders and place hunters are but weaving their own winding-sheets and the republic shall live.
 On all sides we see evidence of party disruption, in the party now in power which has beslimed every principle Of it's birth and dishonored every name which once gave it character. In the party out of power, the party which since it's downfall has paid homage to the courtesans of every court with the hope of gaining favor, is seen baffled hope, and the evidence of breaking factions North and South-leaving noth- ing in common but name.
 Let no National Greenback man loose faith, time will bring the reward, and the song of thankful emancipated in dustries that should reap fully the benefits of advancing progress of science and invention will yet be sweet music to his ear, and when the great reaper comes to claim him, he can go down to the voiceless grave conscious that the world is better that he has lived in it, National Stdnd0rd.

Curious Civilization in Africa.

The large island of New Britain, lying midway between New Ireland and New Guinea. has not hitherto borne any envi- al le reputation. Traders have been afraid to have any dealings with the natives, who, when they had no stran- gers to molest, were always engaged in fierce inter tribal warfare, apparently merely for the love of fighting. The Rev. George Brown, missionary who has recently returned to Melbourne, reports that matters have much inn proved during the last few years, the various tribes having been brought into friendly relationship with each other, and vigorous trade having sprung up with the outer world. The most curi- ous fact in connection with the island is that the natives have 8 currency of their own, and their language comprises words signifying lending, borrowing, and paying interest. The ''bank rate'' of interest is ten per cent, and borrow CTS are so scrupulous in the matter of their liabilities that they never have to be asked second time to repay an overdue loan.

PetticOat Lane.

A Londoner bought in Petticoat Lane, which is famous for it's tags, rags and bob-tails on sale, coat in ex- change for his own, paying in addition several shillings for the bargain. The coat not suiting him, he carried it back and exchanged it on payment of addi- tional shillings, for an apparently smoother and nicer one, which fitted him exactly. On getting home and putting his hand in his pocket, he drew out a pawnbroker's ticket. It was his own, held against his watch. The nice new coat was the old one which he wore there the first time, and which had been cleaned, pressed and sold to him again for about twice what it was worth
 Another of these tricks-which every one except those on whom they are played enjoys so much-was recently played on 8 German innkeeper by a peddler who sold him an almanac, and then, on his wife's coming in and her husbands going out, sold her another copy. When the hus band discovered it he sent the porter to the railroad station to tell the peddler he wanted to see him on business.
 ooh, yes,' said the peddler; know, he wants one of my almanacs, but can't miss my train for that. You can give me quarter and take the all manac to him." The porter paid the money and carried third almanac to the innkeeper.

A Poor Memory.

Without quest on the memory may be cultivated. The habit of attention is one of the first to be acquired in work ing toward this end; but there are other helps, such as the habit of order, and the advantage arising from proper classification, and last, but not least, the aid of the imagination, in making mental pictures. The grocer and the apothecary know the value of order in their business; the bookseller, too, with his thousands of volumes; see him step to the place in his store where he knows the volume you are asking for should be; he merely reaches forth his hand and takes it from the shelf. Watch the type setter at his work; you would think his fingers work automat- lcally, as they take up from the box ar- engagement before him the exact letters composing the words of his copy. Ob- serve the fingers of the piano player; as f endowed with intelligence or mem- ory, the right key goes down at the proper time; it matters not what the speed of the movement may demand, there is no hesitation. Now why can not we accomplish with facts, figures and ideas what the type-setter accom- piished with his type, the pianist with his keys. All that is necessary to do this is application and determination to succeed.

Taking Leaf Photograph S.

A very pretty amusement, especially for those who have just completed the study of botany, is the taking of leaf photographs. One very simple process is this: At any druggists get an ounce of bichromate of potassium. Put this into 8 pint-bottle of water When the solution becomes saturated-that js, water has dissolved as much as it will pour off some of the clear liquid into a shallow dish; tn this float piece of ordinary writing paper till it is thor oughly moistened. Let it become dry in the dark. It should be of bright yellow. On this put the leaf-under it piece of black, soft cloth and several sheets of newspaper. Put these between two pieces of glass (all the pieces should be of the same size), and with spring cIothespins fasten them together. Expose to 8 bright sun, placing the leaf so that the rays will fall as nearly perpendicular as possible. in few moments it will begin to turn brown; but it requires from half an hour to several hours to produce 8 per- feet print. When it has become dark enough take it from the frame and put it in clear water, which must be changed every few minutes until the yellow part becomes white. Some times the leaf veinings will be quite distinct. By following these directions it is scarcely possible to fail, and a little practice will make perfect.

The Way of a Serpent.

The movement of snake in climb. ing perpendicular surface, as I have observed it, is 8 vermicular, undulating motion, not spiral, but straight up the face of the surface. I have seen black snake thus glide up 8 beech tree with the easy, careless grace of movement which is characteristic of that snake when moving over horizontal surfaces, The bark of the teecE affords few in- equalities into which the edges of the gastrosleRal bands could be thrust claw-fashion, and I have no doubt that atmospheric pressure is the force that holds the snake against such surfaces in climbing, sucker-fashion, as the boy lifts the brick with the piece of wet leather. I once knew 8 black snake to ascend 8 stucco wall to the second-story window, and another saw go up to the caves of carriage-house to the swallows nest, straight up the up-and down boards. I have seen them glide from tree to tree and leap down from near the top of large trees, but never saw one descent. y going down a smoothly perpen- dicular surface. I have no doubt of their ability to do so, however. I do not believe that this power is enjoyed by the copperheaded or rattlesnake, or any venomous sort with which I am familiar, they being heavy and sluggish in their movements. have seen them go up on leaning trees and crawl into the foliage of bushes, however.

Creamy Gold.

According to the statistics of the Northwestern Dairymen's association there arc 12, ,442, 137 COWS in the United States, which yield their owners an an- nual profit of $35. Strange as it may seem, says one writer, the poultry in- terests of the country, and the poultry and dairy, which go together generally, though separated in this figuring, is greater than the beef trade. By refer ence to the figures of the New York produce exchange it will be found, and may astonish some, that six thousand barrels of eggs are sold there every week, which, at, $12 per barrel, makes total of $72, 900, or for the year in one city, $3. 744, 900 paid for eggs alone. Then think of the chickens, the tur- keys, the geese and other fowls sold there, and the eggs and fowl sold in Chicago and throughout the country. This, however, is nothing compared to the dairy interest since the creamery and cooperative system has been intro duced, and which is now in vogue everywhere in Illinois, Iowa and Wis conSin.

Southern Forests.

A Southern States paper gives some facts which show that those who talk about the imminent exhaustion of for ests leave 8 most important forest conn try out of account. The States of Ten nessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and West Vir- ginia contain in the order named fifty eight to sixty-six per cent. of forest land, whereas Maine and Michigan, which now produce one-half of the lumber used, contain only forty and forty per cent. of forest land. North Carolina, Louisiana and Missis- sippi have an even greater extent of for est land still untouched than the States just named. Neither is the world gen. erally aware of the good quality of the timber in the South. All the trouble is that, owing to the absence of snow, the wood is not won so cheapIy as in the North. But, with railways pene- tratiIg the country in all directions, this state of affairs will soon be altered, and it is useless not to recognize th1 facts

 Money in the pocket of aspendthrift is like sword in the hand of fool. Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. : Don't think there is something radi- cally wrong about the world because it don't run according to your notion. There are thousands who think the same.
 In order to have any success in life, or any worthy success, you must resolve to carry into your work fullness of knowl. edge-not merely suticiency but more than sufficiency.

 When men in high places stoop to association with vice and crime they cannot expect to remain untainted; often, to save themselves, they seek to fasten their guilt upon the innocent, but deception is a tangled, as we'll as dangerous, web, and sooner or later it's votaries are caught in their own foul meshes.
 One perfect diamond is more valuable than many defective ones. One truth we'll fixed in the mind and compre- hended is better than many half under stood. A small opportunity fully realized is better than great one mis- improved. The wealth. of affectionate sympathy and aid is better than gold, and fills the soul with most perfect peace. Faithfulness lays up treasures in the heavens which nothing can in- iure and no one remove.

The Laplander'S Friend.

The Laplander's sledge has no run ners, but like himself it is covered with reindeer skin, and is in shape something like canoe. Harnessed to this sledge the reindeer starts off with almost the rapidity of the steam engine, going fif- teen or twenty milesan hour. The rein deer is not only the Laplander's horse but his COW, and during the time that it gives milk he is freezing large quanti- ties of it to be used when no more is obtained. Then ha breaks off a piece, warns it, and has again good article of milk. The deer is also his food, large herds of them being kept in some parts of the country. From its skin the Lap lander makes the roof of his house, his bed, his shoes and stockings, his clothes, and cords and strings for his bow. Without this animal the Lap nder would be in deplorable con- dition.
