Teller for the Iuterfor De
DRFtment.

Washington, 22.-The influence which
has brought about the selection of Sem
ator Teller for the interior department
has been vsrious. Teller has been q
warm supporter of Conkling in his con-
test with two Presidents. He voted
against Merritt's confirmation when Ar
thur was removed from the New York
custom house by Hayes, and also voted
against Robertson's confirmation last
spring. He is therefore thoroughly &C
ceptsble to the stalwart wing. he is also
from what may be called the Pacific
Slope, and will be In measure satisfsc-
tory to the far west in its demand for re-
.cognition IN the cabinet. His nomination
will be favorably received by the great
railroad interests Of the west. particularly
by the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific.
His friends have quietly canvsseed the
Senate and House for the purpose of as
members, and there seems to be no
doubt the nomination will 90 in within g.
few days, probably this week.
Judge Bedford is regarded as the sue
cessor of Teller in the Senate.
An ex-senator, one of the social end
political friends of the President, tonight,
taid be did not believe any cabinet officer
would be taken from the Senate by Ar
thur. "WhiIe Vice-President," he said,
''and since he had been President, Ar
thur has frequently spoken of taking
senators into his cabinet as the prime
mistake made by Garfield; that it nam-
pered him afterwards by imposing
tacit covenant that they should be kept
10 through the term of the Administra-
ton, because they had resigned so i'm
portant a position to accept q cabinet
office. Had not this feeling affected him.
he thought Garfield would have changed
his cabinet before it had been in exist
ence three months. Arthur has very
probably not changed these views, and
the pressure in favor OF senators for the
cabinet will probably fall" .r

II COW WITH n HISTORY.

have seen somewhere statement
that cow was sold at auction in this
country, some years ago, for $40, 800. Is
this SO; and if SO, in what did her value
consist? Please tell do1bter something
about it if you can"
The statement is true. The COW was
famous short-horn owned by SamueI
Campbell, q wealthy stock breeder and
manufacturer, residing at New York Mills,
near Utica, N. Y. About one hundred
animals at this sale brought over $780,
OCO. This particular COW was bid off by
the agent Of rich Englishman for breed
ing purposes. After buying her the
new owner came to the conclusion that
he had paid too dear for the whistle, and
instructed his agent, instead of serding
her to England, to sell her in this coun-
try at the best attainable price. After a
little the agent found customer by
knocking of exactly $4,000. The new
owner-a gentleman residing at Ford
ham, N. Y, we think-kept the COW un-

was taken sick with milk fever, or some

HENRY CLAYS DOG.

Mr.. Clay had a fine Newfoundland
dog that was presented by an admiring
friend who lived in Nova Scotia. The
dog was very intelligent, and the Z" Sage
of Ashland" trained him with his own
hand to perform a number of wonderful
tricks, one of which is as follows: In
one of the pastures in which Mr.. Clay
allowed his finest stock to run was fine
well, with large trough attached, by
means of which the cattle were supplied
with water. The water was drawn from
the well by the bucket and-spindle sys-
tenn, but it required great deal of
manual labor to keep it in operation.
To avoid this Mr.. Clay constructed a
small treadmill, attached it to the spin
die of the well with an iron crank, and
then trained the dog to walk the tread
mill. In this manner the trough was
kept constantly filed with water, and
the clever dog became so accustomed to
the performance that, without the neces-
sity of being bid, he made it his duty to
watch the well constantly and see that
the trough always had in it a sufficient
supply of water to keep the coppers of
the blooded stock cool. Mr.. Clay loved
the dog, and was fond of watching him
go through the performance. He would
always have the performance exhibited
to his visitors, and when the good old
canine finally gave up the ghost he had
him respectfully buried, and erectedsat
the head of his grave an elegant marble
slab.

WATER DRINKING,

Children are apt to drink more water
than they need. You doubt it, my dear
child? When you come in the house
painting and thirsty from play, you will
take tumbler of water and drink it
down as fast as you can, and then re-
sumo your play after rushing out, and
perhaps repeat the drink. Now, the
next time you feel thirsty try this ex-
pertinent: Take a goblet of water and
slowly sip it. Before it is half gone your
thirst will be fully quenched and you
will feel better for having drunk only
that which you need. And again, we
are all apt to acquire the habit OF drink
ing while eating our meals. Animals
don't do it, and it is hurtful to us. Ma
ture gives us all the saliva we need, and
If any one will chew his food slowly and
thoroughly, and not take a swallow of
drink until through eating, the desire to
do so will soon leave, and he will re-
quire only few sips of water. tea or
coffee after the meal is finished. This
practice, too, will do wonders in the way
of keeping off indigestion, dyspepsia and
illness.

NDUSTRIAL SECRETS.

Our ancestors had little faith in pat.
ent laws to protect their rights in inven,
lions. What they discovered or invent
ed, they concealed.
Workmen were put upon an oath
never to reveal the process used by their
employers. Doors were kept closed,
artisans going ont were searched, visit
ors were vigorously excluded from adj
mission, and false operations blinded
the workmen themselves.
The mysteries of every craft were
hedged In by thick-set fences of en-
pyrical pretensions and judicial affirm
alton. The royal manufactures of por-
celain, for example, were carried on in
Europe with spirit of jealous exclu-
siveness.
His Majesty of Saxony was especially
circumspect. Not content with the
oath OF secrecy imposed upon his work.
people, he would not abate his kingly
suspicion in favor of brother monarch.
Neither King nor Kings delegates
might enter the tabooed walls of Meissen.
What Is enormously called the Ores
den porcelain-that exquisite pottery of
which thesworld has never seen its like
was produced for 200 years by process
so secret that neither the bribery of
princes nor the garrulity of the opera
tives revealed it.
Other discoveries have been less suc-
cessfully guarded, fortunately for the
world. The manufacture of tinware in
England originated in a stolen secret.
Few readers need to be informed that
tin ware is simply thin iron plated with
tin by being dipped into the molten
metal.
In theory, it is an easy matter to clean
the surface of iron, dip it into bath of
boiling tin, remove it enveloped with a
silvery metal to place for cooling. In
practice, however, the process is one of
the most difficult in the arts.
It was discovered in Holland. and
guarded from publicity with the utmost
vigilance for more tha1 alf century.
England tried In vain to discover the
secret, until James Sherman. Cornish
miner, insinuated himself master Of the
secret, and brought it home.
The secret of manufacturing cast
steel was also stealthily obtained, and is
now within the reach of all artisans.

Cats are called "pussy" by some peo-
pie, but why they call them "pussy"
instead OF by their particular name is In
bmately and closely connected with the
question why red apples grow on green
leafed trees. The word "pussy" is the
Tamil word for cat, and has been intro
duced INTO the language through folk
lore. Nearly all fairy stories about cats
come to US through the Persian. which
preserves the Tamil word.

The famous hanging gardens were
built by Nebuchadnezzar to crafty his
wife Amyitis, native of Media, who
longed for something in that country to
remind her of her mountain home.
These gardens consisted of an artificial
hill 400 feet on each side, rising by sue
cessive terraces to height which over
topped the walls of the city. The ter
races themselves were formed of sue
cession of piers, the tops of which were
covered by fiat stones sixteen feet long
and four feet wide. Upon these were
spread beds Of mating, then a thick
layer of bitumen, covered with sheets OF
lead. Upon this solid pavement earth
was heaped, some of the piles being hol-
low, so as to afford depth for the roots
OF the largest trees. Water was drawn
from the river to irrigate these gardens,
which thus appeared like hill covered
with verdure.

DEATH OF " APPLETONsS JOURNAL"
Doubtless many persons who have
not been in the habit of reading Apple-
toms Journal were surprised at the
recent announcement in the papers that
large publishing house, with abundant
means and mechanical facilities, had
abandoned the attempt to establish a
profitable and influential magazine. And
if newsdealers and subscribers surmised
that the December number was to be
the last of Appleton's Journal, it was
not because of any statement to that
effect in its pages, SO silently did an
enterprise, conspicuously launched only
a few years ago, sink out of sight. The
experience thus sadly terminated illus
trates the fact that perseverance does
not always achieve success.
The Journal began its unfortunate
career as an illustrated weekly, and, by
slow degrees, abandoned one feature
after another, and, changing its arrange
ment many times, became at last an
illustrated eclectic magazine, in which
form it has finally disappeared from
view.-Nea0 York Tribune.

THE BROOK.
BY JAMES wHIrcoMB RILEY.

Little brook! Little brook
You have such happy look
such very merry manner, as you swerve and curve
and crook
And your ripples, one and one,
Reach each others hands and run
Like laughing little children in the sun.
Little brook, sing to me;
Sing about bumble-bee
That tumbled from Ily-ben and grumbled num-
blingly,
Because he wet the film
OF his wings, and had to swim,
While the water bugs raced round and laughed
at him.
Little brook-sing song
OF a leaf that sailed along
Down the golden braided center of your current
swift and strong,
And dragon fly that lit
On the fitting rim of it,
And rode away and wasn't scared q bit.
And sing-how oft in glee
Came truant boy like me,
Who loved to lean and listen to your lifting melody,
Till the gurgle and refrain
OF your music in his brain
Wrought happiness as keen to him as pain
Little brook-laugh and weep
Do not let the dreamer weep;
Sing him all the songs of summer till be sink in soft
est sleep;
And then sing soft and low
Through his dreams of long ago
Sing back to him the rest he used to know!
