What fine Thumb Does.

Have you noticed that when you want to take hold of anything "a bit of thread,
 we will say-that it is always the thumb who puts himself forward, and that he is always on one side by himself, while the rest of the fingers are on the other :? If the thumb is not helping, nothing stops in your hand, and you don't know what to do with it. Try, by way of ex- pertinent, to carry your spoon to your mouth without putting your thumb to it, and you will see what a long time it will take you to get through with poor little plateful of broth. The thumb Is placed in such manner on your hand that it can face each of the other fingers; one after the other, or all together, as you please, and by this We are enabled to grasp, as with pair of pineers, al objects, whether large or small. Ou hands owe their perfection of usefulness to this happy arrangement, which has been bestowed on no other animal ex- cept the monkey, our nearest neighbor.

His Way of Doing Good,

Upin New Hampshire is a well-known eccentric individual, self-constituted curer of all ills, a sort of universal pana- cea, "body and soul, head, heart and conscience doctor" who, with all his ec- centricities, has fund of actual wit that is hard to beat. Not long ago the "doctor" was called to the witness stand. The opposing counsel, who, it is said, sometimes "wets his whistle |" with liquor pizen," knowing the doc tors peculiarities, ventured, in cross examining him, to show him up bit. The result will be appreciated.
 "What is your business?" pompously inquired the counsel.
 My business is to do what little good can to my fellow-men," modestly replied the doctor.
 ''But that doesn't answer my ques- tion," grufily remarked the counsel. How do you spend your time ?"
 "Why, Squire, it takes about all my time to do what said, remarked the doctor.
 "But I want something more def- nite," stoutly demanded the counsel. "How do you go about your business ?"
 "That depends upon circumstances, according to the nature of the case" :" exclaimed the doctor. |" For instance, if I were going to commence on you, the first thing should do would be to ad- wise you to sign temperance pledge "
 The court roared, and the counsel, as if convinced the doctor was pursuing a legitimate and respectable vocation, proceeded with the regular cross-exam- r,,af,n,,

How Men Become Insane,

A large number of lunatics in our asy- lums are the victims of their own mis- conduct. Almost any person can make himself lunatic if he pursues the di- rect method. There are hundreds and perhaps thousands in this city driving themselves to madness. Gambling, spec ulation and hard drinking will under mine the strongest intellects. A young man of my acquaintance has lately been sent to Bloomingdale Asylum who was, a few years ago, so promising as to ob- tain an important appointment. He abused his position, wasted large sala- ", became suddenly gambler and a rake as well as defaulter.
 The same idea is advanced by Ho- garth, who finishes the Rake's Prog ress" by the scene in the mad-house. During the last five years large num- bers have been carried to the asylum, the victims of speculation. The love of pleasure and the haste to get rich have done fearful work. After the intellect has been over-driven it must sink and perhaps remain in hopeless prostration. It may be added that the increase of in sanity since the opening of the present year IS of unparalleled degree. More than 500 cases have been reported dur ing this brief interval, and hence it is not surprising that the asylums are more than full. The attention of the public has been called to this subject by the press, and additional room must be pro vided. We must either abate that furi- ous intemperance which is driving so many to madness, or we must double our asylums all through the State.- 1roy Times.

Whales.

The birthday of whales is celebrated occasionally in the public schools like that of the poets. The following is little girls composition prepared lately for that occasion:
 "Whales is big fish. Whales live a long time and don't die when they get old. We had railroad whale here a little time ago, just for show. Whales don't always travel that way. They mostly go by water so they can sea more. Most people like to go by rail deadhead, but whales ain't like most people.
 "A good while ago people used tc make light of whales, but they don't some now tain't quick enough. The lamps won't blow up.
 ".We wouldn't have no newspapers If it wasn't for coal oil, and railroads, and pistols and so forth cause there would n't be no news.
 Whales is like shoes-right and left. Our railroad whale was right whale. Sometimes a whale gets left when the tide goes out-kind of united. Maybe there is other kind of whales. Some of the boys catch 'em in school, but 1 don't like that kind, they ain't interestin' to girls i"

The kusslan iiangman.

There is but one state executioner in the vast Russian realm, and he IS par doned malefacter named Frolotf, who, in the pre- Nihilistic days, when the aboli- ton of capital punishment was still maintained in Muscovy, committed three successive murders, and was condemned to penal servitude for life. When, how ever, revolutionary successes rendered the services of an imperial hangman in- dispensable to the Ministry of Justice, Froloff volunteered for the office on con dition that an amnesty for his past mis- deeds should be granted him. His offer was accepted, and for some time past he has been busy man. For every "func- tion" he receives 40 silver rubles-about S30-from the Russian exchequer; but that official fee by no means represents the total emolument he derives from the practice of his handicraft, for he is per mitted to trade upon the superstition still current in Russian society respect ing the luck conferred upon gamesters by the possession of morsel of the rope with which a human being has been strangled, either by the hand of justice or by his own.

The Incisors of the Horse.

The incisors of the horse, once worn down or lost, are gone forever, but in many species provision exists bywhich the wear and tear of mastication Is com pensated by the perpetual growth of certain members of the dental series. This very convenient arrangement ex- ists in all the rodents, or gnawers, an order of which the beaver, the rat and the rabbit are familiar examples, and also in the elephant, the walrus, wild boar, etc. The incisors of the rodents are the seat of this perpetual growth, and any one who will take the trouble to examine the skull of rabbit will at once see how admirably they are adapt ed to the animal wants. They are of curved shape, and occupy sockets ex- tending to the back part of both jaws. the upper pair describing larger part of smaller circle, and the lower ones q smaller part of a larger circle. Each tooth consists of solid column of den- tine, with plate of enamel in its outer surface, and, consequently, diminshes in hardness from front to back. The constant wear produced by the continual collision of the opposing surfaces forms an oblique chisel-like surface, sloping from the hard enamel of the front to the softer dentine of the back part of the tooth. As these teeth are perpetually growing, they require constant exer- else to keep their growth within due bounds, and the rat and others of this most mischievous family might assign, as all excuse for their ravages, the ne cessity of finding constant employment for their front teeth.-AU the Year ROlltld

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.

A TABLE-sPooNFUL of turpentine boiled with your white clothes will greatly aid in the whitening process.
 BOILING starch is much improved by the addition of sperm, or salt, or both, or little gum arabic dissolved.
 THE easiest method of. removing rust from iron is rubbing it with rag dipped in oil of tartar. The rust will disappear immediately.
 A COUPLE of ounces of carbolic acid to three quarts of water, sprinkled over the poultry-house through the fine nose of a wateEng-pot, once in three or four weeks, will, it is said, destroy lice and other parasites.
 BEEswAx and salt will make your rusty fiat-irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie lump of wax in rag, and keep 1t for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then SCOUT with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt.
 To FIX pencil marks so that they will pot rub out, take well-skimmed milk and dilute with an equal bulk of water. Wash the pencil marks (whether writing or drawing) with the liquid, using a soft fiat camei's-hair brush, and avoid all rubbing. Place it upon flat board to dry.
 RENovATING On CLOTH Oil cloth washel in hot water or in soapsuds, or with brush, will look dingy when dry, and soon cri ok and peel off but when always washed in luke warm water with piece of soft old flannel, and wiped perfectly dry each time, will last longer and retain its young looks down to old age 1t greatly improves its appearance to use half milk and half water. Skim milk, if not sour, is just as good as new milk. This makes oil cloth look as if vanished. Neither soap, hot water or brush should ever be used on it.
 To CLEAN MATTING.-In cleaning mat ting wash twice during the summer with salt and water-a pint of salt to half a pailful of warm, soft water dry quickly with clean soft cloth. Treated in this way the mating will not grow yellow. Or, if preferred, apply thin coat of varnish to the mating. That will make it more durable and greatly improve its appearance. If vanished, it will not need washing. Now and then wipe with wet cloth and dry quickly. Use white varnish on white mating. Be sure and have the varnish thin or the mating will crack.
 HowTo WASH THE FAcE.-Many people object to the use of soap, disliking the shiny, polished appearance 1t gives, but any who use Dr. Wilson's directions will find that objection removed. They are as follows: Fill your basin about two thirds full of fresh water dip your face in the water and then your hands. Soap the hands well and pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Having performed this part of the operation thoroughly, dip the face in the water a second time and rinse it completely. You may add very much to the luxury of the latter part of the operation by having second basin ready with fresh water to perform a final rinse"

How the Russians Keep Warm.

The Russians have a great knack Of making their winter pleasant You feel nothing of the cold in those tightly built houses where all doors and win dows are doubled, and where the rooms are kept warm by big stoves hidden in the walls. There IS no damp in a Rus sian house, and the inmates may dress indoors in the lightest of garbs, which contrast oddly with the mass of furs and wraps which they don when going out. A Russian can afford to run no risk of exposure when he leaves the house for walk or drive. He covers his head and ears with fur bonnet, his feet and legs with felt boots lined with wool or fur, which are drawn over the ordinary boots snd trousers, and reach up to the knees he next cloaks himself in top coat with fur collar, lining and cuffs he buries his hands in pair of fingeriess gloves of seal or bear skin. Thus equipped, and with the collar of his coat raised all around so thai it muffles him up to the eyes, the Russian exposes only his nose to the cold air; and he takes care ire quently to give that organ little rub to keep the circulation going. A stranger, who Is apt to forget tue pre- caution, would often get his nose fro zen if it were not for the courtesy of the Russians, who will always warn him if they see his nose whitening, and will, unbidden, help him to chafe it vigorous ly with snow. h Russian cities walk ing is just possible for men during win ter hut hardly 80 for ladies. The women of the lower order wear knee boots those of the shopkeeping class seldom venture out at all those of the aristoc- racy go out-ia sleighs The sleighs are by-1lo means pleasant vehicles for nerv- ous people, for the Kalmuck coachmen drive them at such terrific pace that they frequently capsize; but persons not destitute of pluck find their motion most enjoyable. It must be added that to be spilled out of Russian sleigh is tan tamount only to getting Q rough tumble out of soft mattress, for the very thick furs in which the victan is sure to be wrapped will be enough to break the fall. The houses and novels of the Rus sian working classes are as well warmed as those of the aristocracy. A stove is always the principal item of furniture in them, and these conveniences are used to sleep on as well as cook in. The mu- ick, having no bed, curls himself up on his stove at his time for going to rest. Sometimes he may be found creeping right into the stove and enjoying the delights of vapor bath.

The McSplilkins family is one of the most fashionable in Galveston. The old man, however, is not as nice as he ought to be, but the rest of the family are highly accomplished. Somebody was speaking of them the other day, and he remarked how they all played on some instrument.
 "What does the old lady play?" asked bystander.

 "And the youngest daughter ?"
 "She plays on the harp"
 "And the next daughter "

At the same time this portable printer checks the number of tickets issued, so that at any given moment the money in the hands of the conductor can be compared with the value of the tickets printed and taken.

A Simple Apparatus.

An ingenious Frenchman hasinvented & simple apparatus for the use of bathers who cannot swim. Inflated India-rub- Der bags support the swimmer, and en- able him to sit upright with head and shoulders above water, so that he can propel himself. The principal novelty of this contrivance lies in the propelling device, which is constructed so as to collapse when pulled forward, and to spread open when pushed back. like ducks foot when swimming. The pro- pellers are suspended by chains or cords attached to the buoying jacket.

Meetings were held to protest against the Presi- dents course, and numerous delegations were sent to Washington to remonstrate with the obstinate old General.
 In New Bedford, it was suggested that q delegation of three should be sent. An old Quaker merchant, who had recently failed, nominated himself, another mer- chant, noted for long speeches. and a third, remarkable for the ease with which be could weep.

THAT obscure poison which produces hydrophobia has been known to lie latent in the human system for years before developing its fatal results. M. Pasteur asserts that the supposition is well supported that the viIus does de- velop in certain organs, and not, as in other cases, ill the blood; and that when, after period variable according to cir cumstances, the organized poison passes into the blood. severe symptoms come on rapidly and the victim soon dies. An explanation substantially the same as this had long been advanced as mere theory, but M. Pasteur advances it as an ascertained physiological fact.
