Some Heavy Embezzlers.

Between July, 1873, and December,
1877, both inclusive, the names Of more
than 800 firms in this country were pub
ished as embezzlers or defanlters in
sums of over 5000, while doubtless
scores more escaped publicity. In many
cases the thefts amounted to hundreds
Of thousands in one or two, to millions.
They were not humble, uneducated men
who did these things. To read the AM
tecedents of most of those who figure
in this black list, might well make those
persons despair who have supposed ed
ucation to be great preventive Of crime.

Trained Birds.

The Chinese, who are famed foringenu-
lily, have succeeded in teaching birds to
fish. Instead of carrying nets the fish
ermen provide themselves with large
number of cormorants which perch on
the edge of the boats. It is curious
spectacle to see these creatures engaged
In fishing, diving into the water and al
ways coming up with q fish in their
beaks. As the Chinese fear the vigor-
GUS appetites of their feathered servants,
they fasten around their necks an iron
ring, large enough to allow their breath
ing but too small to admit of the fish
they seize; to prevent their straying
about in the water and wasting the time
desired for their work, cord is attached
to the ring and to one claw Of the cor
morant by which he is pulled up when
inclined to stay too long under water.
When tired he is permitted to rest for q
while; but if he abuse the indulgence
and waste his time, few strokes Of the
bamboo recall him to duty, and the poor
diver resumes his laborious occupation.
In passing from one fishing ground to an
other, the cormorants perch side by side,
80 as not to disturb the equilibrium Of
the frail vessel.

Dict Of the Japanese.

OF 36, 900 COWS slaughtered IN Japan
last year, more than one-hah were con-
sumed by foreigners on shore or ship.
Few natives, except officers IN the capi-
tai, sailors and soldiers, eat beef. Nut
ton and pork beyond the treaty ports
are hardly yet known. About 200 va
rieties Of fish are eaten, one-half Of the
people eating fish every day. The food
OF the masses is 80 per cent. vegeta-
BILE" The list Of food plants in use, NOT
including sea plants, was prepared for
he pamphlet, with their analyses, by
Prof. Edward Kinch, Of the Toxic UNI
versity. A large number Of these sub
stances are unknown, or at least unused,
In the United States. OF rice, which
occupies in it's culture one-haH Of the
cultivated land, there are $50 varieties
Of seed in the country. Millet is ex-
tensiyely used, but bread raised from o
"sp0nge Of yeast is hardly yet known
in the popular diet, the old Latin-P or.
tuguese word pan being, however, in
use. The soybean, which in chemical
composition closely approaches animal
fiber, is extensively cultivated. Proba-
bly, no country excels Japan In the va
riety Of leguminous plants raised for
food. OF tubers and roots, the sweet
potato is the most popular, though,
strange to say, as much tabooed by the
aristocratic classes as onions are sup
posed to be among us, Sixteen million
bushels Of these Satsuma potatoes I"
were produced last year, while the
aJave" or "Dutch - our common
white potato-is left to foreigners, the
native palate not liking it. Lily bulbs
sixteen varieties as food, boiled
and served with drawn butter" The
lotus root is eagerly eaten without OBJ
iyion Of country or decay Of patriotism.
Poppy seeds powdered as condiment,
infusions Of sailed cherry blossoms for
drink, horse-chestnuts and acorns are
among the articles OF diet.

Woodman Spare the Tree.

Within bow shot Of the great town
gate Of Morat, in Switzerland, stands q
venerable oak more than 500 years old.
It was a full-grown tree on the eve of
the famous battle Of Morat, when
Charles the Bold held conference with
his Generals under the shade of its wide
spreading branches. Twenty-four hours
later the leaders Of the Swiss gathered
round this self-same tree, and there Of
fered up thanks to Heaven for their sig
nal victory. They dispatched mes
senger to Freilburg with the tidings,
and, in conformity with foregone ar
rangement, confded him q token by
which the Federalists Of that city might
recognize him as an accredited envoy.
This token was leafy branch, cut from
the oak in question. It's bearer put
forth such speed IN executing his mis-
sion that when he reached Freilburg he
had just strength enough left to gasp
out his message, and then dropped dead
on the ground. grasping his oak branch
to the last. He was buried where he
fell, and the branch, planted on his
grave, is ct the present moment one Of
the largest and staunchest trees in Eu-
rope, having completed its 405th year.

Dying Ont.

Slowly and surely the class of people
known as the Shakers are declining in
numbers. The members make no con-
cealment of this fact. The older breth-
rem speak hopefully of the future, having
faith that revival viii come and add
largely to their strength, but the younger
ones are in great doubt about their
church's surviving the philosophic and
material tendencies Of the age. Our
leaders are old men," said one Of them;
in ten or fifteen years they will all be
dead. We have no one of equal talene
and devotion to take their places. Thd
ideas and ways Of the world gain groung
with us all the time. Our best youne
men leave us because they do not ik-
the restraints of our life and want indi-
viduaf careers. Recruiting our commus
mites by bringing up children has
proven discouraging failure. do not
know what will become Of us unless
there comes . change in the public
mind which shall bring the reiigiout
principle more strongly into play" The
Shakers are not as numerous now a. in
the first decade Of the century.

Vulgar Words.

A distinguished author says: az re-
solved when / was child never to use
q word which / could not use before my
mother without offending her." His
rule and example are worthy of imitation.
Boys generally learn class of vulgar
words and expressions which are never
heard in respectable circles. The utmost
care on the part Of parents will scarcely
prevent it. OF course we cannot think
Of girls being SO much exposed to the
peril. We cannot imagine decent girl
using words that she would not give
utterance to before her father or mother.
Such vulgarity is thought by some boys
20 be "smart" "next thing to
swearing" and yet "not SO wicked. :"
But it is habit which leads to profan-
ity and fills the mind with evil thoughts.
Il vulgarizes and deerades the soul,
and prepares the way for many of the
gross and fearful sins which now cor
rupt society.

STATISTICS Of the average number of
persons who inhabit house in the yari-
GUS cities Of Europe give an excellent
notion of the distribution Of wealth.
Among the larger cities of Western
Europe, where the system of family
houses is dominant, the average is of
course small. Thus, the average for
Bremen is 81 for London, 8; for Am
sterdam, 8; for Rome, 10; for Cologne,
Is, and for the Main, 16.
In other well known cities the averages
are these: Paris, IS; Trieste, So !;
Buda- Pesth, 33 !; Konigsberg, %; Bres-
lau, 81 Leipsic, 36}; Berlin, So, and
Vienna. 81.

A Good Scheme in Schools.

In public school at Waukesha, Wis,
an ungraded department has for more
than two years been maintained with
satisfactory results. Dull, truant, feeble
and vicious children are relegated to it
from the other departments all those,
in fact, who are not able to go on with
the work Of the regular grades. Special
methods are adopted in teaching these
children, and after a few months in this
room they not only regain their lost
standing, but are often able to enter Q
grade in advance of their former class
mates. The teacher in charge of this
school attributes this result chiefly to
these pupils getting rid of the drudgery
Of the graded departments. There could
hardly be stronger argument in favor
Of more lively and intelligent methods
In our public schools. Exchange.

Defective Hearing In Children.

Dr.. Well, Of Stuttgart, has during the
last year examined 4, 800 school children
in reference to their hearing. The ex-
animation, which included boys and
girls Of all social classes, yielded the
following results az A normal ear
can in quiet neighborhood hear whis-
pering Of ordinary loudness at q distance
of twenty to twenty five metres (2) de-
fects Of hearing are exceedingly common
lin the public schools 80 per cent OF
the children were found to have imper-
feet hearing in one ear, while still lar
ger percentage were found not normal !;
90 among the children Of well .to-do par
ents the figures are more favorable than
among those of the poor; 90 the per-
centage Of detective hearing increases
with age 90 country schools yield re-
latively better results than city schools.
Most Of those whose hearing had been
found abnormal had never been subjected
to any treatment, and many had no sus-
picion even of their failing, Just as In
cases Of color blindness. Not few Of
these children had been considered and
treated as inattentive and Justice
demands that in future every I" inatten. .
tive child be examined with reference
to its ears. TiennG Nexe Efeie Presse.

4 RErrAIsKABLE POEM.
Numbers In Nature.

Two or four and its multiplies is the
prevailing number in the lowest orders
Of plants, according to which all the
parts of the ferns, MOSES, lichens, sea-
weed and fungi are arranged. Three or
the multiple Of three is the typical mum.
Der of monocty ledonous or indigenous
plants, without branches and with par
allel veins, to which the grass, the lily
and the palm belong. Five with it's
lmultiples is the model number of the
highest class of plants with branches
and reticulated leaf-veins, to which the
apple and the rose belong. The same
numerical relations may be traced in the
animal kingdom, three being the number
Of joints in the typical finger and the
regnant number in the crustacea; while
five, in its correspondent geometric
forms, giving the greatest variety con-
sistent with symmetry, prevails among
vertebrate animals, and is OF frequent
occurrence among marine forms Of life,
being the law Of growth Of the star
fishes, sea-urchins and the like A,
curious series, in ancient times thought
to possess mystical virtues before it was
discovered in nature, one, two, three,
Eve, eight, thirteen, twenty zone, thirty
four, etc., in which any two numbers
added together give the succeeding one,
regulates the general arrangement Of
leaves round the stem OF plants, and the
seeds round the cone Of pine or fir.
In everydepartment OF nature from the
quantitatiye laws that regulate the dis
tances, movements and attractions Of the
stars Of heaven, to the arithmetical laws
Of definite proportions and equivalents
which lie at the basis of all the compo-
Gitions and decompositiohs of the sub
stances of the earth, and the numerical
relations that are found among all the
living creatures, animal and vegetable,
that exist on the land. and in the air and
water-phJ steal science shows that re-
current or typical numbers have most
important place and influence, and con-

EDMUND YATES says: "The Ameri-
ican Christmas is purely due to Charles
Dickens. When he invented or rather
revived Christmas, the Americans took
up the matter warmly. The celebration
had long been made out in the States to
be the festival of the winter solstice and
q purely pagan affair. Dickens infused
new life into it, and the Americans have
taken Christmas at his estimate. Be-
fore that, they had only three festivals
tho Fourth Of July, New Year and
Thanksgiving. Christmas became the
fourth and is now very popular among
Americans, who delight in entertaining
any Briten who may be among thena.r

A Minister,s Prodicament.

Daniel Webster had an anecdoto Of
old Father Searle, the minister Of his
boyhood, which is too good to be lost :
It was customary then to wear buckskin
breaches in cool weather. One Sunday
morning in autumn, Father Searle
brought his breeches down from the
garnet, but the wasps had taken possess
sion during the summer. and were hav.
ing nice time Of it in them. By dint
Of effort he got ont the intruders and
dressed for meeting. But, while read
ing the scriptures to the congregation,
he felt dagger from one Of the en-
ragged small WASTED fellows, and jumped
around the pulpit, slapping his thighs.
But the more he slapped and danced,
the more they stung. The people
thought him crazy, but he explained
the matter by saying /" Brethren, don't
be alarmed the word Of the Lord II
in my mouth, but the devil il In my
breaches |" Webster always told it
with great glee to the ministers.

IT is estimated that the English peo-
pie consume, on an average, twenty
pounds of cheese each, every year, or o
total weight Of about SOC, 600, 900 pounds.
The population of the United States is
more than double that of England,
while the demand for cheese is less than
DOC, 600. 900 pounds, or less than six
pounds for each person. If the Ameri-
cans were as great cheese eaters as the
English, we should require more than

Reformation Through Kindness.


All the female convicts in the Indiana
peniteniary were turned over to Sarah
Smith, philanthropic Quakeress, seven
years ago, for the purpose of testing
kindness as means of reformation.
Success is claimed for the experiment.
Two hundred women and girls are now
under Mrs. Smiths care. They are re-
quired to perform certain work, from
which they earn their own support, and
they are kept within an inclosure, but
there are no high stone walls, dark cells,
barred windows nor armed guards.
Eight women assistants are all that she
requires to control these prisoners, and
severe punishments and deprivations are
unknown. It has been proved, says an
official report, that 80 per cent. Of these
convicts are SO far reformed that on re-
lease they begin to lead reputable lives.
