" Breeding-Oif" Horns.

The question of "breedins-oif" the
horns of native cattle is receiving at
tention, and there are many who claim
that it "can be done" Horns on neat
cattle are relic of barbarism, soto
speak. They are not only q useless ap-
pondage, but positively Objectionable,
Not only do cattle do one another injury
in ward or stable, but they have many
q time, by their horns, caused the deatl,
Of or disabled, other animals. Timld
people are MORALLY afraid OF cattle with
horns, but pass by the "mules " with,
ont fear. In their wild state cattle had
undoubted need of their horns, but
domesticated, there are no ferocious AMI
mails to attack them. Nature appears to
be doing gradually and unaided that
which little artificial help would accei-
crate. as comparison between the spread
ing and long horns of the Texas steer,
and the short ones of the blooded COW
indicates. 1t is suggested that horns
NAV be bred-off by soaring them when
the calves are young. Everybody knows
that dogs and cats have been bred with
ont tails, yet analogy might signify
nothing, as sheep, whose tails are cut
close When they are lambs, continue
after many generations, to raise lambs
whose tails, in turn, would be long, !
they were not cut. But q family o
AYRSHIRE cattle bred in Scotland
originally had their ears clipped iron
year to year to donate ownership. i
time the calves began to be born wit
the end of the ear wanting, and now tn
popularity is fixed.

The Speed Of Thought.

Helmholtz showed that o wave Of
thought would require about a minute
TO traverse mile of nerve, and Hirsch
found that q touch on the face was recog-
nized by the brain, and responded to by
manual signal, in the seventh OF sec.
ond. He also found that the speed OF
sense differed for different organs, the
sense OF hearing being responded to int
sixth of second; while that Of sight re-
CURED only one.hfth second 10 be felt
and signaled. In all these cases the dis
tances traversed was about the same, so
the inference is that images travel more
slowly than sounds or touch. 1t still re-
NAMED, however, to show the portion OF
this interval taken up by the action OF
the brain. Professor Donders by very
delicate apparatus has demonstrated this
to be about seventy. five thousanths OF O
second. OF the whole interval forty
thousandths are occupied in the simple
act of recognition, and thirty-five thous-
andths for the act Of willing o reponse.
!. When two irritants were caused to oper.
ate on the same sense one twenty-ffth OF
n second was required for the person to
recoonize which was the first; bus
slightly longer interval was required to
determine the priority in the case Of the
other senses. These results were OBJ
tanned from middle-aged man, but In
Youths the mental operations are some
what quicker than in the adult. The
average of many experiments PROVED
, that simple thought occupies one
a fortieth Of o second.

Shaving or q Run.

In times of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank OF England

The Belle Of I'll PasO.

Almost every other house was drink
ing saloon, and the whole place had an
air Of dissipation which was rather more
suggestive than alluring. The worst
class OF Americans come over from the
other side, preying upon the vices OF the
Mexicans to their own profit, and max
ing what money they can out OF their
propensities for gambling, drinking,
and dancing. "Le vin, le Jeu, les 6eItes,
cola nos seules plaisirs," seemed fitly
to describe their lives and occupation, ct
all events during Christmas week. My
fellow-passenger back in the hack was
an American "belle," who had been up
to see the "boys," as she called them,
whom had visited in prison, who were
friends of hers; and during the inter

TIE most serious labor strike OF the
wear began June 1. The proprietors OF
the Pittsburg iron mills having refused
to sign the new scale of wages, strike
was ordered. Some thirtytive or thirty
six mills in Pittsburg and vicinity shut
down, and more than eighteen thousand
workmen are thrown out OF employment.
In Wheeling upwards OF five thousand
men went out, and some seven hundred
or eight hundred quit work on the other
sid. of the river, in mills whose pro-
nrietors refuse to adopt the new scale, at
least until it is accepted by the Pittsburg
mill. owners. The strike is likely To
spread to all tho iron mills west OF the
Allegheny Mountains, and will be lone
and obstinate. It is impossible to meas
IRE the loss to the productive interest,"
Of tho country which this strike vii
entail, or to compute the hardship an'
entering it will bring to the families Q
the workingmen. 1t can not be regarde'
other than as public calamity.

medal two and three-fourth inches in d.

ounces. 1t was struck to commemorate
the evacuation of Boston by the British
on the 18th day of March, 1776, and was
voted to General Washington by Com

the figure of Washington, finely execu-
ted on both sides, is very plain.

y has to be prepared in the kitchen, and
as most working people have to take
their meals and sit i'll the kitchen-in-
deed, as tho ono day-room has to be
parlor, kitchen, and all to many honest
families-it ought to be clean and neat
or it will not be comfortable and healthy
First Of all, the window and the fire
place must be clean and bright. No
room is cheerful with dirty fireplace.
Every morning the room must be care
fully swept, and any hearth-rug, mat, or
piece of carpet must be taken out OF
doors and beat daily. The hearth must
be cleaned every day, and the stove
brushed, the fire-irons rubbed with
leather once week at least, the CRATE
must be black-headed, and the fender
and irons thoroughly polished, and all
well secured down twice week. Cup
boards want great care to keep them free
from dust, cool and neat. Surprising
there are two cupboards, one on each
side of the fireplace, it is well to keep
one for stores, as groceries, ETC., and one
for crockery. Everything should be
clean that is put in the cupboards, and
there should be place for every differ
ent thing, sothat if you wanted anything,
even in the dark, you could lay your
hand upon it. Be sure, whether You
keep the lids bright or not, to keep the
inside of every pan or pot used IN cook,

Wood Weaving.

This industry belongs strictly to the
town Of Ehrenberg, on the Austrian
frontier. Sparterie work, or weaving OF
wood, was introduced more than cen,
tury ago, but has been confined until
within short time to the manufacture
of cheap hats, glued together, and worn
by the lower classes. Lately, however,
owing to the interest taken by the Gov
eminent, Ehrenberg has been able to
send out fashionable hats and various
fancy articles, all made Of wood and sold
ut very low rates. The aspen is the only
tree whose fibers are tough enough to
admit Of weaving, and all the timber
having been used in the vicinity Of the
town. the material is brought from
Poland. The process requires the utmost
nicely in dividing the wood, and as the
divider must always follow the direction
of the fiber, it is necessary that TIN
threads should be prepared by hand
The weaving itself is done on larg
looms.
