HAWKEYE DOTS.

YouNa man, no matter how fertile your mind is, you can't strengthen it by letting 1t lie fallow.
 THE peach crop is so large in Dela- ware this year that peaches will soon be as cheap as members of the Legislature.
 WHILE boring an artesian well in Boston, recently, the workmen struck @ baked bean six hundred feet under the ground. It is supposed to have been placed there before the flood.
 TWENTY-FIVE thousand pairs of blue pectacles-thus making fifty thousand pectacles-have been sent to the British army in Egypt, so that skir- mish line of the Household cavalry now looks to the astonished enemy like Harvard college scientific excursion on horseback.
 A QUEBEC farmer, while returning from his moving lot, with his scythe over his shoulder, was struck by light. ming and instantly killed. This shows what little use the universe has for & man who mows with scythe in 1882.
 A CORRESPONDENT wants to know Chow we can lessen intemperanceP ?" Well, its none of his business, but if he must know, we don't drink so much as we used to. That will lessen it about as much as we know. Has he ever tried that plan ?
 MY BOY, when a man, any man, tells you he wouldn't have your horse or your gun, or your dog as gift, don't offer to give it to him. That kind of man always takes everything he can get for nothing, and never pays cent for anything.

How to Cool an Apartment.

A simple way of cooling the air of room is described in the New Orleans Picayatne of a recent date. The con- posing room of the Picayatne is situated in the upper story of its publication house, just under the roof, and in sum- mer is extremely hot. This season an inspiration seems to have come to one of the oppressed occupants, and in &C., cordance with it @ vertical wooden box was constructed in the corner of the room, with openings at the floor and ceiling, and furnished with pipe for supplying water at the top, and a pan and drain at the bottom for receiving the flow and carrying it safely away. The supply pipe was bent over the up- per end of the shaft, and fitted with 8 rose like that of watering pot, so as to deliver shower of spray instead of a solid stream. On connecting it with the service pipe the movement of the water was found to cause an active cir, culation of the air in that part of the room, which was drawn in at the upper opening of the shaft and issued again, cool and fresh, at the floor level. The most surprising thing about the expert ment seems to have been the effect of the water in cooling the air to degree much below it's own temperature. With Mississippi water, which when drawn from the service pipe indicated 8 tenl- perature of 84 deg, the air of the room, in which the thermometer at the begin ming of the trial stood at 96 deg, was cooled in passing through the length of the shaft to "A deg, or about 20 deg. below the temperature at which it en- tered, and 10 deg. below that of the water which was used to cool it. Of course the absorption of heat by the evaporation of portion of the water accounts for it's refrigerating effect, but the result seems to have been so easily and inexpensively attained that the ex- pertinent would be we'll worth repeat ing in other cases.

Cape Cod Sport.

A "blackfish drive' is the Cape God fisherman's ideal of sport. The black fish or grampus appears frequently on the coast in schools of from four to five hundred, and is s'driven" at every fish ing hamlet along shore from Truro to Cedarville. A "drive" is managed in this way: When school is discovered feeding close inshore score or so of boats put out to intercept it. The boats are in two lines, one on each side of the school, and pull silently out, until far in the rear, when they unite and ad- vance on their prey. No fish is more timid than the grampus, as the fisher men we'll know, and they take advantage of this trait to effect his destruction. When still several hundred yards away the school discovers the boats and be- gins to show signs of alarm. Then the drive begins. The boats are urged for ward, the crews splash the water, fire pistols, blow horns, wave their fisher coats, and yell like Comanches. The frightened fish rush shoreward-their only line of retreat-through the breakers, high and dry upon the beach. A few remain in the surf, and in among these the men leap like mad-men, shouting, thrusting with lance and pike, never ceasing until the last victim is slaughtered. s'It's excitin'," said 8 grim old whaler. "but it's kinder har- rowin' tew. There's young uns among 'em that cries out like human, and it goes agin the grain to stick 'em."
 Tales told of the booty taken in these drives seem incredible. Four hundred have been driven ashore at one time. The old whaler above quoted assured me that he went out one moonlight night, short time before my visit, and captured sixty-four. Another time, in company with the Well-fee fishermen, he drove three hundred ashore at Bill lingsgate. Besides his share he pur- chased 16O at $15 each, had them lowed to the try-works in Provincetown, and realized handsomely upon them.

The Crops Abroad.

The luxurious abundance in food pro- auction the world over this year is in strange contrast with the prices that city folk have to pay at the markets. Figures from Austria, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, the States of our own country, and, in short, the whole of the northern hemisphere, show that never since statistics began to be collected have there been such great harvests. The only complaint we hear of IS from Spain. The natural consequence of this should be 8 decreased cost of living. Where there is abundance there should be low prices. It ought to cost less to produce because it costs less to live. Prices, however, remain stiff, and the people have not yet in these centres of population begun to profit largely by the great yield of the broad acres of the earth, but there is every promise of lower prices. s.-NeaO York Sun.

CANAAN CONN.,, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2o 1882.

"Well, we've got his horse, at any rate," said the farmer, |" and he is worth more than $100."
 "Hallo !" said the man John, who had been taking the saddle bags from the strange horse.
 What is it, John ?''
 "These bags is full of something"
 "I should think so." said the farmer, as he unstrapped the leather bags.
 They were found to contain some counterfeit plates, quantity of coun- terfeit money, in various bills, and also little over $1, 800 in good moneyl
 "Huzza !'' cried the farmer.
 "What is it, father ?" said Maude.
 "Why your trip to Easton has proved profitable one, at all events. Here's over $1, 800, good money l'
 "Ab, but it will be claimed by the owner."
 "Do you think a counterfeiter will dare to come for the tools that would convict him ?-to say nothing of high way robberya''
 ''I didn't think of that"
 That evening Henderson sent John over to young Masters with message to call round and see him. to which Harry responded instantly.
 MT. Masters," said the farmer, as he came into the large, old-fashioned sitting-room, "you remember what you asked of me this afternoon ?'
 "Yes, sir.'
 "Well, give my consent. Maude has just furnished her own marriage portion. Take her, my boy, and be happy"

Strikes in General.
STRIKERS OPINION OF THEM AND HIS
 SUGGESTION ABOUT THEM.

In an interview with an intelligent workingman of Pittsburg his opinion of strikes was given as follows:-
 "What do I tbink of unions and of strikes I have never believed in unions as organized. The better workman 8 man IS the less benefit he gets from the union. That wouldn't matter so much, for it is our duty to stand by and to help each other but the trouble is that in a general union like the Amalgamated, which takes in all kinds of skilled labor, the worst elements control, and the sober, discreet men haven't any voice. Jarrett, the president, advised against our strike, but he had to carry out the wishes of the majority. I doubt whether a strike ever does any good, except when everything else fails. I suppose we have the same right to strike as the people of country have the right to rebel, as a last resort, but we must make up our minds for the worst unless we succeed.
 "The great mistake in strike is that the men nearly always threaten at the same time that they ask for something. They say, Unless you give us an in- crease,' or Unless you give us some other concession we will quit work on a certain day. There is good deal of human nature in the masters as we'll as in the men, and there is thus bad feel ing from the start. We ought to begin negotiations on good terms. My idea is that in every mill there should be 8 standing committee, or 8 committee to be chosen when anything is wanted, of six good, respectable men, with families and stake in the town-a house and lot that they own-and that this com mittee should meet with the masters and talk over the whole thing quietly and fully, making no threats or demands, but just stating the whole case. If they and the masters can't agree then let both select some outside person or per- sons whose decision shall be final. But don't start off with threat or with an organization behind that believes it can enforce the threat. Then the men will have done the best they can, and if the masters don't agree to our proposition we will have right and fair dealing on our side and we can then decide on what is best to de done. Perhaps laws might be passed that would make this plan binding on both parties"

A Family of Monkeys.

Hindus do not hurry themselves in anything they do, but the monkeys have lots of time to spare and plenty of patience, and in the end, after the crow has stolen little, and the dog had it's morsel, and the children are all satis- fled, the poor fragments of the meat are thrown out on the ground for the blunder-logue, the monkey people and it is soon discussed-the mother feeding the baby before she eats herself. When every house thus. in turn, has been visited, and no chance of further ssout- door relief" remains, the monkeys go off to the well.
 The women are all here again, draw ing the wvter for the day, and the monkeys sit and wait, the old ones in the front, contentious and serious, and the youngsters rolling about in the dust behind them, till at last some girls see the creatures waiting, and, Gin the name of rain, spill a 10th full of water in the hollow of the ground, and the monkeys come round it in circle and drink, with their tails all curled up over their backs like notes of interrogation. There is no contention or jostling. A forward child gets box over the ear, perhaps, but each one, as it has satis- fled it's thirst, steps quietly out of the circle and wipes it's mouth. The day thus fairly commenced, they go off to see what luck may bring them.
 The grain keepers shop tempts them to loiter, but the experience of previous attempts makes theft hopeless; for the baunya, with all his years, is very him. ble on his legs and an astonishing good shot with pipkin. So the monkeys make their salaams to him and pass on to the fields. If the corn is ripe they can soon eat enough for the day; but if not, they go wandering about picking up morsels, here an insect and there a berry, till the sun gets too hot, and then they creep up into the dark shade of the mango tops and snooze through the afternoon. In the evening they are back in the village again to share it's comforts and entertainments.
 They assist at the convocation of the elders and the romps of the children, looking on when the .faquir comes up to collect his little dues of salt, corn, and oil, and from him in their turn exactine pious toll. They listen gravely to the village musician till they get sleepy, and then one by one they chamber up into the peepul. And the men sitting round the fire with their pipes can see, if they look up, the whole colony of the blunder- logue asleep in rows in the tree above

DAYS OF THE WEEK.

The days of our week are derived from heathen ideas and gods which the heathen worshipped.
 THE IDOL OF THE SUN.-This idol, which represents the glorious luminary of the day, was the chief object of their worship. The fist day of the week was especially dedicated to its adora- tion, which they termed the Sums Deag, hence is derived the word Sun day.
 THE IDOL OF THE MooN.-The next was the idol of the moon, which they worshipped on the second day of the week, called by them Moon's Deag, and since, by us Monday.
 THE IDOL OF TUsCo.-Tuisco was at first defined as the father and ruler of the Teutonic race, but in course of time he was worshipped as the son of earth. From this came the Saxon words TMisco Dea9, which we call Tuesday.
 THE IDon OF WoDIN OR ODIN. den, or Odin, was one of the supreme divinities of the Northern nations. It was called Woden's Dea9, and by us Wednesday.
 THE IDOL OF THoR.-Thor was the eldest and ablest of the sons of Woden and Friga. To him the fifth day of the week, called by them 7hor's Deag, and by us Thursday, was consecrated. TIE IDOL OF ERICA, OR FREaA. or Frega was the wife of Woden, or Odin, and next to him, the most reversed divinity among the heathen Saxons, Danes and other northern nations. To her the sixth day of the week was con- secrated, which by the Saxons was writ ten Friga's Deag, corresponding with our Friday. THE IDoL-SEATER.- idol Scatter is represented on pedestal, whereon is placed a perch, on the, sharp prickled back of which he stood. His head was uncovered, and his visage lean. In his left hand was pail of water, wherein were flowers and fruits, and his dress consisted of long coat, girded with linen. The appellation given to the day of his celebration is still retained. The Saxons named it Se0ter's Deao which we call Saturday.
