Sly Trick OF q Lazy Morse.

Any one DESTROYS Of verifying the
following story need only tc take a
stand.at the foot of Chardon street,
where the relief horses are stationed
and watch Lady Knights manoeu-
verings. Lydy Knights is a veteran
on the relief corps of horses, having
served in that capacity some eight
or ten years, and it is quite evident
that during that time she has learn
ed a thing or two by observation, if
in no other way. Part OF the day
two horses are kept for the purpose
of helping the cars up the hill, and
they alternate, or are supposed to,
iG their duties. But Lady Knights
is a sly boots and needs vigilant
eye to see that she doesn't cheat.
When the relief horse gets to Bow
doin Square it is unhitched and goes
back to the foot of the hill, taking
its place next to the curbstone, which
indicates to the next car. that the
outside horse is to help pull up the
hill. So accustomed have the horses
become to this routine that they
seem to 60 through itmechanically,
and are often lett to go down alone
and take their places. Now this is
one of Lady Knights favorite tricks:
When the other horse comes down
and stations himself in his proper
place. she walks up Just ahead Of
him and then backs herself in be-
tween Old S~tupidand the curb stone;
tie consequence is old Stupid pulls
three or four successive cars up the
hill, and would probably keep on
pulling for the rest Of the day did
not the attendant come to the rescue.
The look of injured innocence which
Lady Knights assumes when the
man shakes her out from next the
curb and puts her in her proper
place is funny.-Boston Journal.

the ROYAL Military Academy, WOOL
,,icb: but his mothers means do not
enable her to send him to a first class
sscrammers,r SO he has to sit be-
meath the average schooImaster. He
works hard and thinks a great deal,
and gains a fair knowledge OF the
subjects he is required to learn. He
goes up to the competitive examina-
ton at Woolwich, and finds each
question SO complicated that he is
utterly puzzled; and, when the re-
suits Of the examination are made

of a wealthy trndesman who wishes

life TO a successful Examiners" to
be fattened with knowledge as tur-
KEYS are crammed for Christmas.
The crammer does not confne his
attention to teaching his pupils; but
he watches the examination papers
set at Woolwich, and he finds that
the examiners have each a peculiar
"fad," and set their questions IN a
sort of rotation. He looks carefully
over these, and he forms a kind OF
estimate of the questions which are
likely to be set at any particular ex-
animation. He therefore trains his
pupils for these questions, and is
often SO successful in his predictions
that at least half the questions have
been worked out by these pupils a
week before the examination; and
this result is obtained without any
collision between the crammer and
the examiner. On one occasion that
we know of, seven questions out of
a paper of thirteen were predicted
as due and the pupils consequent
ly of this crammer were most sue
cessful at this competitive" Young
Smith is thus trained, and passes

A Blockade Story.

Late in the fall of 1862, says M.
Quad, in his stories of blockade rum
ming, the British schooner Francis
loaded at Nassau and made for the
coast of Florida. just as she had
sighted the coast a fish boat gave her
the information that a Federal gun
boat was cruising in those waters.
The schooner kept on her way until
night fell, and then becaimed. Pres
entity a curious incident occurred.
The gunboat had been looking into
some of the inlets and had not een
the schooner. Two hours after dark
she steamed slowly out to within a
quarter of a mile of the schooner
and then shut off steam and extin-
guished her lights. Those on the
schooner could at first make her out
with a night glass, but presently a
fog arose and shut out the view. The
night was still and the sea perfectly
smooth, and those on the schooner
could only wait and hope that a
breeze would spring up during the
night and enable her to creep away.
In a calm one vessel is a magnet TO
draw another. They will slowly
drift toward each other in every case,
instead of separating. In this in-
stance those on the schooner soon
discovered that the crafts were draw
ing together, but they were power
less to prevent it. Atmidnight they
could hear the talk of the men on
the gunboat, though the fog was too
thick to see anything. At l O'Clock
the vessels softly rubbed each other,
and remained broadside on, as if
dashed together. The Federals had
simply to Chamber over the rail to
capture the schooner, and the cha
grin of her crew a be imagined
but not described. In half an hour
after her capture a breeze sprang up
which would have carried her thirty
miles before daybreak.

A lady in this city overheard her
nurse girl the other night talking to
the little child she xas putting to

Up to four years old the age Of
sheep is readily ascertained by ex-
aiming their mouth. They cast
their sucking teeth the first year,
putting in two large teeth in the
centre of the lower jaw at a year old.
Each year two more teeth are added,
and,at four years old, with eightteeth,
the sheep has a full mouth, and is
at its prime. The decay then varies
with the kind of feed, which is the
most when they are fed corn in the
ear or roots.
