EsA DOG A WOLFF

The Anthropological Society of France
had under discussion, not long ago, the
question whether the dog descends from
the wolf NJ. Harbourdin said that he
had brought up wolf that was now
years old and was as gentle as lamb.
Ii was, beside, remarkably intelligent,
and could open the doors by turning the
handles. When it heard clock strike
it would stand on It's hind legs to look
behind, and would move the hands
round with It's paws. It is fond OF per-
fumes, and lives on good terms with
poultry and other animals, but has
great aversion for cats. Its bark re.em-
bles that of dog. NJ. de Mortillst, on
the other hand, said that he had been
endeavoring in vain to tame wolves.
They were gentle enough SO long as
they were young, but became savage at
the adult age.

MEEEURS.

Looking glasses used to be made by
covering the plate with IN amalgam Of
tin and mercury; but this has been SUI
perseded by depositing coat of real sill
yer upon the glass, thrown down in q
smooth film by adding oil of cloves or
other organic substances to solution of
ammonia-nitrate of silver, retained upon
the plate by a raised rim Of wax. The
trouble with this process has been that,
though cheaper, the plates are inferior
in luster, and lack the "black" color
which gilversmiths regard as indicating
perfection of polish. The long-looked-
for process Of imparting the brilliancy
OF the mercurial coating to the cheap
and durable film has at last been accom-
plished by chemical reaction After the
silver plating is complete the film is
flooded with weak, aqueous solution of
the double cyanide OF mercury and po-
tassium; slow decomposition takes place,
and the mercury is precipitated, which
immediately aInalgamates with the silver
film. The result is said to be thorough
ly satisfactory. the amalgam OF silver
being quite Us brilliant as that of tin,
and less subject to change, while the
new process has the advantage of being
readily applicable to the largest plates,
which by the old method could be treat
ed only with great difficulty, if at ali.

The Diffusion OF Seeds.

In very large number of cases the
diffusion of seeds is effected by animals.
To this class belong the fruits and ber-
ries. In them an outer feshy portion
becomes pulpy and generally sweet, in
closing the seeds. It Is remarkable that
such fruits, in order, doubtless, to at
tract animals, are, like flowers, brightly
oolored It's, for. instance, the cherry,
currant, apple, peach, plum, strawber-
~, raspberry and many others. This
color, moreover. is not present in the
onripe fruit, but is rapidly developed at
maturity. In such cases the actual seed
is generally protected by dense, some
times almost stony, covering, so that it
escapes digestion, while its termination
is perhaps FASTENED by the heat Of the
animals body. It may be said that the
skin of apple and pear pips is compare
lively soft; but then they are Embedded
IN stripgy core, which is seldom eaten.
These colored fruits form q considerable
part OF the food of monkeys in the trop-
ical regions of the earth, ard we can, I
think, hardly doubt that these animals
are guided by the color, just as We are,
Ia oCiCNtlh3 CliC iAk'C IL uis' LII uAiCoC LII
stances Of coiored fruits the ieshy, edi-
NE part more or less surrounds the true
seeds; II others the actual seeds them
selves become edible. In the former
the edible ravt serves as O. temptation to
animals; in the latter it is stored up for
the use o, tie plartitseh. When, there
fore, the seeds themselves are edible they
are genetaily protected by more or less
hard or bitter envelopes-for instance,
ne horse chestnut, beech, Spanish
chestnut, walnut, etc. That these seeds
are used for food by squirrels and other
animals is, however, by no means neces-
sarly IN evil to the plant, for the result
is that they are often carried some dis
lance and then dropped, or stored up
and forgotten, so that IN this way they
ge5 carried away from the parent tree.

SHAVING THE FACE.

AhEty years ago lew persons OF fOr-
eign birth appeared m the streets with
hair on the upper lip, and were objects
Of curiosity and sometimes of public
ridicule. In 1850 some of the young
swells of the metropolis began to wear
mustaches, but for some time no clerk
would venture to initiate them. In one
case merchant on Pine street who had
lust engaged clerk for twelve months,
Or during good behavior, discharged him
Tor wearing full beard, claiming that
the adoption OF the fashion laid the
clerk open to dismissal under the good
behavior clause to the contract. About
the same time number OF leading ner-
chants gave notice that they would en-
ploy nobody who wore hair on the up
per lip. AS late as 1851 the senior pro-
prietor of this paper made his cashier
shave OFF an incipient mustache, and
soon after brought his own son under
the razor. In the church of DR.. Be-
hume, or Brooklyn Heights, an elder
who was suffering from lame wrist al
owed his beard TO grow rather than
submit to q barber. The habit, begin
ming in necessity, continued or account
of the increase of comfort which it af-
forded, and the elder Haunted his beard
before the congregation constantly. The
result was laughable. Many Of the
brethren called upon the pastor to insist
upon doing away with such a scandal
as full-bearded elder. He led them to
his library and showed them how some
of the early fathers had pleaded against
cutting off the beard. "He tarned to
Lactantius, Theodoret, ST. Augustine
and st. Cyprian, who had stoutly con-
tended for the growth of the whole
beard. He quoted from Clement, Of
Alexandria, the assertion that Mature
adorned men, like q lion, with beard,
as mark of strength and power When
one Of the visitors asked him how he
would like it if the clergy assumed the
mustache, DR.. Bethune referred him to
decision of the fourth Council of Car
thsge "A. D. 252, can. AZ, in which it
was positively enacted that cleric shall
not shave his beard, and to statement
made by Luther in discussing the sub.
iect, that all the Protestant martyrs
were burned in their full Boards" This
did not settle the matter, for subse.
auently the ladies of the congregation
put in their protest. But in few
months g venturcsome lawyer let his
beard grow after the manner of the el-
der, and in o little while smooth shaven
faces were no longer the rule but were
the exception. -New York Journal q

Charge OF the Light Brigade.

After we had mounted for the famous
charge, and just before commencing our
advance, Col. Shewell, commanding the
English Hussars, happened to rest his
eyes on one Of his men with pipe In
his mouth, which SO excited his military
ire, that he hallooed to him he was dis
grazing his regiment by smoking In the
presence of the enemy, a grave view OF
the question which certainly (his COM
handing officer) did not, or at least up
to that time, reciprocate, inasmuch as
at this very moment was enjoying a re-
'markab,y good cigar The question then
rose in my mind, ''Am 1 to set this bad
example? Tin the Colonels opinion) or
should throw away cigar?"--no such
common article in those days, be it re-
membered. Well, the cigar carried the
day, and it lasted me till we got to the
guns. With shame do l say it. There
was one, I believe, who, when he
started on this advance, was insensi-
BILE to the desperate undertaking in
which he was about to be engaged. So
we went on. "Right flank. keep up.
Close in to your center" The smoke,
the noise, the cheers, the groans, the
"ping, ping" whizzing past ones head,
the whirr of the fragments of shells, the
well-known "slush" of that unwelcome
intruder on ones ears-what sublime
confusion it was One incident struck
me forcibly about this time-the bear
ing of rideriess horses in such circum-
stances. I was, Of course. riding by
myself, and clear of the line, and for
that reason was marked object for the
poor dumb brutes. They consequently
made dashes at me, some advancing
with me considerable distance at one
time as many as five on my right and
two on my Left cringing on me, and DOS
itively squeezing me as the round shot
came bounding by them L remarked
their eyes, betokening as keen sense
of the perils around them as we human
beings experienced land that is saying a
good deaD. Tho bearing of the horse I
was riding, in contrast to these, was re-
markable. He had been struck, but
showed no signs of fear, thus evincing
the confidence of dumb animals In the
superior being.-Lord George P0get.

Tho "rri6une's" Campaign Trickery.

The temperance people have recently circuss
lated spicy circular, criticising the course of
the city Republican administrations and the
action OF the daily papers of this city. Yester-
day morning the Tribune took the pains to
make it appear that the signature of DR.. Van
Anda had been secured to the paper through
some underhand means, and last evening the
GLOBE reporter was called upon by Mr.. Q. A
Lounsberry, who also signed the circular.
Mr.. Lounsberry says that the circular was
taken to DR.. Van Anda already printed, and in
that condition received his autograph freely,
after his having given the whole careful
aiding.
The Joarnal has the following: A friend Of
DR.. Van Anda wishes us to say that the doctor
does not charge, as alleged in the Tribure,
that the gentlemen who obtained his sigma
ture TO the temperance circular, had forged or
interpolated. On the contrary he held the
original copy and the circular letter, and he
and Gen. NettletoD read them in comparison
and found them just alike. The Tri6une's ad-
yertisement of DR.. Van Auda's sermon as i
castigation for the "forgers" was mauufac-
tured out of whole cloth.

Conversational Talent.

A talent for conversation has an extra
ordinary value for common everyday
uses Of life.
Let any one who has this gift enter in
a social circle anywhere. How every
ones face brightens at his entrance |!
How soon he sets all the little wheels IN
motion, encouraging the timid, calling
out unostentatiously the resources of
the reserved and shy, substituting the
facile, and making everybody glad and
happy!
70 converse well is not to engross the
conversation. It Is not to do all the
talking. 1t is not necessary to talk with
very great brilliancy. A man may talk
with such surprising power and splen-
dor as to awe the rest of the company
into silence or excite their envy, and so
produce chill, where his aim should be
to produce warmth and sunshine.
He should seek the art of making 9th
ers feel quite at home with him, so that,
no matter how great may be his attain
ments or reputation, or how small NAV
be theirs, they find it insensibly Just as
natural and pleasant talking to him as
hearing him talk.
The talent for conversation, indeed.
more than anything else in life, requires
tact and discretion; it requires one to
havemore varied knowledge, and to have
it at instant and absolute disposal, so
that he can use as much or as little as
the occasion demands.
1t requires the ability to pass instant
" and with ease from the playful to
the serious, from books to men, from
mere phrases of courtesy to the express
ions of sentiment and passion Prof.

A Men Onite Scene.

The Mennonites intend keeping to
themselves, and have no intention Of
marrying or giving in marriage with the
children of the land. At first some of
the girls went out to service, but one
having got married the order went forth
that ali the others were to return home
at once, which was done. As race
they are thrifty and industrious, but
their neighbors say that the women do
most of the work. An open ditch about
mile in length, beautifully dug, and
with the turf neatly banked up on each
side, was said to be all women's work.
Large numbers OF women were also to
be seen in the fields Rep. Prot. Grant,
