All lie Knew.

At the Union Depot the other day an
old man who had borrowed a match,
then a chew OF tobacco, then postage
stamp, and lastly besought the loan of a
key to open his old satchel, came back
the fifth limo and said to the stranger
whom he had most annoyed:
"My friend, can you tell me how
many times the human heart beats per
minate?"
"No, sir !"
"Can you tell me who first discovered
the circulation of the blood ?"
"No, sir !"
"Do you know whether the pulse
should beat seventy or 700 times min
ute?"
Ono, don't. All I know about the
human system is the fact that if you
bother me two seconds longer I shall
exert pressure of 5000 pounds in the
endeavor to raise you about six feet
rom the floor T.
"Just so-iust so, growled the old
man as he sided off "but don't try to
pass that off on me for physical science.
That's nothing but what any boss could
do ?"-DetrOit Free Press

The Skunk Bill.

The first section of bill passed by
the New York Legislature is as follows
"SEoTIoN l. No person shall trap,
kill, or cause to be killed any fox, mink,
martep, fisher, skunk or raccoon in any
part of this State between the fifteenth
day of March and the first day of No
vember of any year"
The San does not like the bill for it
says:
Mr.. Green stated that he introduced
the measure by request and we should
think he did-by request Of Mr.. Henry
Bergh.
A violation of the foregoing provision
is declared by the third section to be
misdemeanor punishable by fine of
S25, or imprisonment not to exceed
thirty days, or both.
The attentive reader will perceive
that this piece of proposed legislation is
actually designed to protect that most
mephitic beast, the common American
skunk.
It is true the bill contains provision
that it shall not apply to any person
who kills any animal mentioned "while
in tho act of destroying the personal
property of such person." But this
amounts to little. A farmer who sees a
skunk near his hen house in the summer
must not kill it unless the creature hap
pens to be in the act of eating chick
en-. If he does, he stands chance of
going to Jail for a month.
A few days ago we recorded the death
of man from hydropnobia, occasioned
by the bite of skunk. In many parts
of the West the bite of this animal is
greatly dreaded, as being frequently
fatal. 1t is believed to induce the dis
ease which appears as rabies in the
dog and hydrophobia in human beings,
and we understand that the idea is by no
means secuted among men of science.
Such creature ought to be extermina,
ted instead of being preserved for the
benefit of furriers.
If the measure has passed either
House, we advise residents of the rural
districts to ascertain whether their rep
resentatives in the Legislature voted for

is crossed horizontally by strips of BAN
boo. With the exception of a small
space forward, the river junk is housed
in, with doors and windows along the
side. In this house are the kitchen and
living-rooms for the boatman's family.
The wheel house is elevated above the
rest of the structure, that the helmsman
may have an uninterrupted view, and
be able to guide his vessel safely among
the crowd of boats moving on the water
way. The steering gear is usually of
the most primitive description, consist
ing of large double-fanned rudder
moved by long awkward tiller, which
creaks and sways as the helmsman
bends over it.
Chinese junks, and also all the smaller
river craft, are ornamented across the
stern and along the sides with inscrip-
tions, and no ship or boat of any kind
is allowed to float without a huge
wooden or painted eye on the bow. No
waterman will embark on any vessel
without an eye. The craft without this
appendage would be unable to see rocks
and shoals in its way, and despite the
utmost care of the boatman would surely
go to the bottom. Many watermen
place Implicit faith in this superstition,
and those who are somewhat skeptical
prefer to be on the safe side, and sail in
boat which can see for itself. Accord
ingly these eyes glare at one from every
boat on the Chinese waters.

Foes of the Wheat Field.

Wild geese are such dangerous foes of
the California wheat fields that the
larger growers are obliged to organize a
regular force for the protection of their
crops. The birds appear in the grain
counties In myriads, travelling about in
vast fiocks. DIR. Ell. J. Glen, whose
rancho in Colusa County covers rs, 900
acres, or nearly twelve square miles,
expends about Sl0,0 900 year in herdiDg
the geese. He has in his employ, while
his wheat is growing, about forty men,
all of them mounted and nearly all
armed with Henry rifles and field glasses,
who patrol his property during the day
and on all moonlight nights. They
discover with their glasses the focks of
geese which, at 300 or 400 yards dis
lance, look like a white blanket, and
thereupon plant a bullet right in the
middle of the flock. This starts them
on the wing, and the herders follow
them up, shooting till they rise to a
great height, and, Disguised, leave the
vicinity. The object is not to kill them,
but keep them On the wing. About
5000 cartridges are used IN day, which
represents about 10000 geese daily put
to flight.

The Growth of the Fire Loss.

In twenty-five States of the Union
the fire loss exceeded million dollars
during 1881. In New York it was Sl5,-
919. 900, in Pennsylvania 81, OILS, 800, in
Massachusetts 81, e46 200, in Illinois
S4,741, 900, and in Michigan, Indiana.
Missouri and California it was more
than So, 100000 The total fire loss in
United States during 1881 is estimated
to have exceeded the value of all the
farm products of Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Oregon and West Virginia during 1880,
that most productive of years. The
Insurance Chronicle gives the follow
ing record of the country's fire loss
during the last six years:
1876, S64 $50, 600; 1877, sos, 265, 800;
1873, $64,315, 900: 1879, SIT, 703, 700;
1880, S74,643, 400; 1881, s81, $50, 900; ;
Total, $3.50, s4O,2 j
The growth of the loss from 1880 to
1881 was therefore nearly 81, 900, 900. 1T
1t is said that fire destroyed every
seventh dollar of the nations increase
in wealth, and statistics show that the
proportion is likely to become even
more unfavorable. Fire has destroyed
vastly more than the income of the gov
eminent for a whole year during the last
six years, and obliterated capital almost
equal to that invested in the national
banks of the country, which is about
$500, 100000. If Congress puts far
mer in the Cabinet, its next enterprise
should be to put fireman beside him.

After TWENTY Years.

Twenty years ago citizen OF
Melbourne, Australia, enraged beyond

whom he had already ordered out of his
house for insulting his wife. He was
tried and sentenced to be hanged, but

the sentence was commuted to imprison-
ment for life. His exemplary conduct
in prison for twenty years has Just

impaired. He states that when he got
to Melbourne again after his long alb
sence he fancied he was in strange
city and had much difficulty in finding
his way to the Chief Commissioners
Office to obtain his full discharge. His
wife had been able to retain the house
from which he WAS sent to Jail, and it
has largely increase in value since he
left it, so that he is not without the
means of beginning life over again.

A Primitive Way.


They have primitive way in some
parts of Hungary of procee ding against
persons accused of crime. Miksa Trail
la, boy Of Is, employed as servant
in the neighborhoodl of Temesvar, was
suspected of stealing about SO from his
master. He was handed over 10 the po-
lice, and being suspended by the feet,
head downward, from hook in the
ceiling, was belabored for two hours
witha wet rope. The next morning the
half dead boy was stretched on the floor
and beaten on the legs and knees with a
cudgel. A few hours later a noagis trate
ordered him to be suspended again by
the feet, and in that position he re-
NAMED until he was unconscious. In
the evening, still refusing to confess. he
was held with naked breast and arms
against red-hot stove. A brother of
the lad, who implored the local notary
to intercede and put an end to the tor
ture, was thrown into prison by that
funetionary, and heavily ironed. On
the third day, by order of higher off
Gals, who had been informed of these
doings, the two brothers were released.
Such occurrences are not rare among
the densely ignorant country popula-
tions of Eastern Europe.

A Curious Problem.

A correspondent of Knowledge having
asked how much space would be re-
CURED on the earth, on the assumption
that, beginning with single pair, the
human race had multiplied during 5000
years at the rate of thirty children to
each pair, sons and daughters being
born alternately, and each husband aud
wife being at the time of marriage
respectively twenty-one and twenty
years old-there being also no Deaths
the editor replied that the population,
taking thirty for each pair at the
average age of forty years, would be
2,199,915. followed by 141 digits, which
might be represented without ap-
preciable inexactness by ciphers. Now,
assuming that ten persons could stand
on surface one yard square, 80, 600, 900
could stand on a square mile, and on
the entire earth, whose surface is about
200, 000,0 square miles, some 5000
millions Of millions. Dividing the num-
Der just obtained by this. the result is
1866, 526, followed by 125 ciphers. 1t
would require this inconceivable num-
Der of worlds like our own for the
population on the assumptions made.
Let us see, says Mr.. Proctor, how
large a single globe would suffice to give
standing room to this population, ten
to the square yard. Such globe must
have diameter exceeding the earth's
as the cube root of the above quantity
exceeds unity, or roughly, as seven
followed by forty-three ciphers exceeds
unity. (In reality it will be larger con-
siderably, but this is near enough in
such problem as the presently Now
the diameter of the orbit OF Neptune,
roughly, exceeds the earth's diameter
nearly 100000 times. Hence the
diameter of the required globe exceeds
the diameter of Neptune's orbit more
than hundred billions of billions OF
! billions of times. Surprising the
furthest star visible in the great Rose
telescope to lie some thirteen or four
| teen millions OF times further from Us
than the nearest, which lies about
10000 times further than Neptune, the
distance of that star, 1000, 900, 900, 0OO
times further than Neptune Cor

millions of years., would be but the

part of the radias of such a globe as
would be required to hold the popula-
ton we are considering. A sphere
having radius equal 10 100 millions OF
years ight-journey would not suffice
even to contain SO many human beings.

Drawing the Long Bow.


II was very agreeable, the other day,
says the Boston journal, to watch a
party of young people who were engaged
in archery practice, and to compare the
different methods in vogueamong them.
Most of the contestants stood up straight
and graceful before the target, drew the
string steadily to the ear, and discharged
their shafts smar tly-and the shafts
aforesaid, as general thing, either
went over the butt into the next field,
or stuck qnivering in the ground about
twenty feet from the marksman. But
there was one fellow present who hit the
target every time, and not infrequently
struck the buAs-eye.i His posture,
however, was scandalous and enough to
give a scientific archer the fits. He
would held his bow parallel to the plano
of the horizon. lay his arrow upon it,
then extend his left arm with a jerk,
draw tBe;string against his stomach
which was much contracted to give force
TO the shot-and let fg. Altogether he
looked like a yietinnof green apples, who
had determined to idin the party in
spite Of his pangs. He was constantly
abused by his companions because of
hssa bsnrd attitude, b,lt as he hit tho
target; three times; to their once ne did
noty care. tsstitI, 1t must be admitted
that he was NOT graceful. Imagine the
Apollo elvidere described as discharg-
ing his boltsin this fashion Homer's
description of the wrath of the god
against the Greeks would read like a
burlesque in the face of statue thus
modelled.

TEE oouNrERsrGY WAS MARY

Twas near the break of day, but still
The moon was shining brightly;
The west wind as it passed the flowers
Set each one swaying lightly;
The sentry slow paced to and fro
faithful night-watch keeping,
While in the tents behind him stretched
His comrades-all were sleeping.
Slow to and fro the sentry paced,
His musket on his shoulder,
But not thought of death or war
Was with the brave young soldier.
All no his heart was ia away
Where, on Western prairie,
a rose-twined cottage stood. That night
The countersign was "Nary."
And there his OWE true love he saw,
Her blue eyes kindly beaming,
Above them, on her sun-kissed brow,
Her curls like sunshine cleaning,
And heard her singing, as she churned
The butter in the dairy,
The song he loved the best. That night
The countersign was "Mary,"
"Oh, for one kiss from her ~ he sighed,
When, up the lone road glsncing,
He spied form, little form,
With fslt'ring steps advancing,
And as it neared him silently
He gazed at 1t in wonder;
Then dropped his musket to his hand,
And challenged ''Who goes yonder ?
still on it came. Not one step more,
Be you man, child, or fairy,
Unless you give the conntersign.
Halt. Who goes there? TITS Mary"
A sweet voice cried, and in his arms
The gi1l he'd left behind him
Half fainting fell. Ger many miles
Shed bravely toiled to find him.
II heard that you were wounded, DEAR"
She sobbed; ''my heart was breaking;
1 could not stay moment, but,
All other ties forsaking,
travelled, by my grief made strong,
Kind Heaven watching o er me,
Until Unhurt and well?" "Yes, love.
at last you stood before me.
They told me that l could not pass
The lines to seek my lover
Before day fairly came but
Pressed on ere night was over,
And as told my name, found
The way free as our prairie"
Because, thank God tonight" he said
The countersign is Mary"
