| it was for long time q problem how
they succeeded in living so long and
travelling so far without access to the
atmosphere. The problem has beer
answered by S. Newhouse, in work
called the "Trapper's Guide"
He noticed that musk-rats had the
curious method of travelling long dis
tances under ice. In the winter excur,
sions to their feeding grounds, which
are frequently at great distances from
their abodes, he found that they took a
breath at starting, and remained under
water as long as they could. They
rose to the ice and breathed out The
air in their lungs, which remained in
bubbles against the lower surface of the
ice.
They wait till this air recovered
oxygen from the water and ice, and
then take it in again, and kept on ill
the operation had to be repeated. In
this way he learned that they can travel
almost any distance, and live any length
of time, under the ice.
The hunter sometimes takes advant
age of this habit of the musk rat in the
| following manner:
When the marshes and ponds where
the musk-rat abound are first frozen
over, and the ice is thin and clear, on
striking into their houses with his
Ratchet, for the purpose of setting his
trabs; he frequently sees him come up
to renew his breath in the manner des-
cribed above.
After the animal has breath under
the ice, and before he has time to take
in the air again, the hunter strikes with
his Ratchet directly over him, and
drives away his breath.
In this case, he browns in swimming
a few rods; and the hunter, cutting a
hole in the ice, taking him out.
Mink, otter and bearer travel under
the ice in the same way; and hunters
have frequently told us of taking offers
in the manner We have described, when
these animals visit the house of the
musk-rat for prey.-PhiLa. Sat. Night.

Two Per Cent. Bonds.

Representative Kelley, chairman of
the committee on ways and means, has
introduced in the house, by direction of
the committee, and will endeavOr to
have passed with unanimous consent, q
Joint resolution authorizing the secre-
tary of the tre asury to issue, in his dis
erection, 2 per cent. bonds to the
amount of 100000, 900, and exchange
them for outstanding obligations of the
United States bearing a higher rate of
interest than 2 per cent. The resolu-
ton, which has the approval of the
secretary Of the treasury, is as follows:
Resolved, By the senate and house of rep
rese,atatiees of the United States of Ameri-
ca, IN congress assembled, That the sec

gate, than $500, 900, 900, bearing interest
at the rate OF 2 ger centum per annum,
payable half yearly, and the principal
and accrued interest payable at any

sociations as security for payment and
redemption of their circulating notes
and by national bank repositories as
security for deposits with them of pub
lie moneys, at the same rates and sub

Enterprise Extraordinary.

Most Of our readers, If not all, will remember
that little over a year ago the magnificent
structure at Buffalo, N. Y, known as PieF,e:
Palace Hotel, was entirely destroyed by fire. We
doubt, however, if many Of those who saw no
tice of the confagration at the time are prepared
for the announcement, just made by the propre-
tors that since that occurrence another structure
six stories high and one hundred feet square, has
been completed, and that it is now open for the
reception of patients. Yet such is the fact.
In the erection and furnishing of this massive
and elegant building, nothing has been omitted
that would in any manner tend to benefit the af.
icted, or to add to their comfort. Ten physicians
and surgeons, eminent in their respective special
ties, constitute the professional staff of the insti
tuition, and persons suffering from chronic and
other ailments will doubtless find here a veritablt
Invalid's Home. All inquiries al to terms, etc.
receive prompt attention and should be addressed
to Worlds Dspensary Medical Association. Buff

sick for years and for the past ten years has not
been able to be around halt the time. About six
months ago she got so feeble she was helpless.
Her old remedies, or physicians, being Of no
avail, sent 10 Deposit, forty- miles, and got
a bottle of Hop Bitters. II improved her so she
was able to dress herself and walk about the

she was able to take care of her own room and

The POlIed Angus.
DR.. Foote's Health Monthly

The n. Y. Tribune,S occasional cor
respondent, writing from Western
Kansas, remarks that at Victoria the
cattle raisers are introducing from
Scotland rival to the shorthCrns,
called the "Polled Angus" A true
specimen of this breed is hornless,
with prominent bump which he uses
in place of h orns wheE he has an enc
my to punish. He is SO short in leg
that ne hardly stands above the grass
upon which he is feeding. His body is
round, long and massive. His color is
black and glossy. He is so hardy that
he can endure colds and drouths that
tell sadly on the shorthorn. That
which will most interest the student of
heredity is contained in the first four
or five lines of the following extract:
The Angus crosses are strongly
marked by their sire. The slenderest,
scrawny, long-horned yellow Texas
cow presents to her black lord a calf
after his own heart--solid, standing
close to the ground, generally black,
and without germ of future horns.
This lack Of horns, though second
airy matter, is certainly an advantage
when the steers are to be shipped long
distances in crowded cars. The quiet,
easy nature Of the animals may also
diminish the loss of weight more-ex
| citable breeds suffer in transit, though
perhaps the shorthorn has an equal
claim to his excellence. The Angus
| CATTLE must wait some time before
their asserted superiority can DE con-
sidered as fully established, but they
have made an excellent beginning in
their new surroundings, and it seems
not improbable that they may gain
their case, and that the gray plains OF
the interior may one day be thickly
spotted with the brilliant blackness OF
their mixed posterity.

torted mother, getting nettled.

ing and confronting him, what do you

"Why, May, of course" answered
Tom.
"Mayp and then after pause of in

"Why, who else could it be?" said
Tom, simply.
"Well," said mother, 81 ought to
have remembered you never did any
hing like any body else. But, still, why
in the world did you go to work in such

Tom, falling back on what he found an
unanswerable argument. 1t was no
