An angry liquor dealer, prosecuted for
breaking the law, bluntly revealed the secret
of this law defying business. "Judge,"
said he, there's no use of your trying to
stop liquor selling. just as long as there is
eight cents profit on a ten cent drink, rum
will be sold, and no one can stop it,

wooDPEcKERs AND BEARS.

The director of the Norwegian telegraph
lines tells some curious stories. Woodpeck-
ers, for example, seem to mistake the hum
ming of the wires for the buzzng of insects,
md peck away at the telegraph poles in the
hope of finding the hidden BUYERS. b 9ars,
too, are deceived into thinking the hum ming
is that of bees, and not seeing any bees on
the poles, paw away at the heaps of stones
at the base of the poles. At last, when they
have pulled the stones all away and found
no honey, they give hard pound on the
earth with one of their paws, to kill the
naughty bees that keep so out of sight.
For long time nobody could fluid out how
the heaps of stones became so scattered;
but finally some one noticed the m lrks of
the bears claws where they had struck the
earth in their rage, and the mystery was ex-
blamed

All our little friends have heard of the
shepherds dog or collie, the best helper the
shepherd has. A Scottish shepherd had the
care of seven hundred sheep on high hill
of Scotland and one night they all broke
away from him, aud even the dog could not
keep them together. The shepherd spent
the whole night in trying to find his lost
sheep, but saw nothing of them until after
daylight the next morning then he found
the seven hundred, not one sheep missing,
collected all together, and the shepherd dog
standing guard over them. The dog, like
the shepherd, had spent the whole night in
search of them. The shepherd had no sue
cess, but the dog did everything that needed
to be done. Wasn't that clever dog.

Law-breakers always come to evil in the
end. In Great Britain there is law under
which certain officers mark a line on a YES
sells hull to show how deep in the water she
may be loaded. On one occasion captain
wanted to carry greater load than the law
allowed. He took lantern and paint
brush one night, aud moved the regular
"load line " up several inches. The officers
who inspected the load thought that it was
all right, as they could trace the line along
the edge of the water. So far, the captains
trick was successful. He passed out of the
Thames, and went to sea, bound for for
e'gn port. But the vessel never afterward
was heard from. She was overloaded, and
so foundered in storm.

A MINIATURE RAILROAD.

Mr.. p. S. lewes, farmer, who lives in
Doylestown Township, Bucks County, Penn
9ylyania, has constructed on his place a
miniature railroad. 1t is about one hun
dred and fifty yards long, and the ties and
rails are of wood. A double track runs a
distance of fifty feet, and there are three
side tracks, seven switch-posts, three turn
tables, depot, six locomotives and sixteen
cars. The locomotives average thirty pounds
in weight and the cars ten pounds. On
pleasant evenings the neighbors are amused
by seeing the road ia operation.

AN AFFEcTroNATE MOTHER.

A gentleman found nest of young mice
not long ago, and put the wee creatures on
the ground near by. Pretty soon the mother
mouse made her appearance, and carried
one OF her little ones to a place of safety.
Then, to see what she would do, the gentle
man took up the others in his hand. When
the mother came back and found her
babies gone, she seemed to hesitate mo-
ment, and then, seeing where they were,
ran up the gentleman's clothes, and took
another of her little mousies to where the
other had been left. This was repeated un
til the entire family was carried off. Was
not that good deal for timid little mouse.

1t is not surprising that the sale Of Hood s
Sarsaparla is increasing at such a rapid rate
when the remarkable cures it is effecting are
considered We challenge any medicine to
show an appreciation at home like that which
has been poured upon Hoods Sarsaparilla. Such
results only come from real merit, and the in
creasing demand for this article unmistakably
proves that people appreciate it.

SEALS FOND OF MUSIC.


Seals are very fond of music. A writer,
who used to live in the Hebrides, says that
he could call half-dozen scala by blowing
upon a common fife. In walking along the
shore, in the calm Of summer afternoon, a
few notes of his flute would bring a number
Of the animals within thirty yards of him.
They would swim about with their heads
above water, like so many black dogs, evil
IDENTIFY delighted with the sounds.
SOUND IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
In the Arctic regions sound goes great
deal further than in warm countries. A
pistol fired by Baron Wrangel near some
cliffs on the river Lena, in Wraugel Land,
was echoed and re-echoed hundred times.
During the visit of the ship Corwin TO the
same place, last spring, a little boat-swain,
with a squeaky voice, was heard giving Or
ders two miles away. When persons were
half a mile apart, they could converse in
their ordinary tones.
