Dr. Eastons's Dat Skin Goat,

Some years ago there lived ia Mauito-

He conceived the idea Of having great

advertised for cats, promising to pay
Is cents apiece for all that should BE
brought to him on a certain day. The
day came and SO did some twenty or
twenty-five boys, each with from ono TO
four cats. All hands with all cats Ne
paired to the barn. it is said, where with
clubs fearful slaughter began. A cats

A Shaking Mountain.

About three months ago number of
miners from San Francisco explored Ell
Monte Amargo, the Bitter mountain, in
northern Chilli. Near the top of the
mountain they found something of
which they had heard marvellous stories
the Eye of the Gold. This mine of
poetic name was examined to the disap-
pointment of the whole party. Even
ing had crept on and it was too late to
descend, SO the Colifornians lighted q
IRE under rock near the summit,
there to pass the night. A furious wind
was blowing from the neighboring des-
ert Of Atamaca. Suddenly the wind
dropped; an unnatural calm and silence
followed. Then came confused MUIR
muir as from distant, angry crowd of
people. swelling to grinding, crushing
sound. A slight SILVER ran through the
solid mountain, succeeded by q more
positive, rocking motion. The men got
upon their feet as quickly as possible,
but in another moment all were shaken
down. One of the prospectors says that
the mountain seemed about to sink be.
meath them. A horrid roar pervaded
all space, and Monte Amargo beloved
like the wind-stirred surface 1T the
ocean. The men were seized with
dreadful nausea and an indescribable
feeling Of despair. The frightful phe.
nomenon lasted less than half minute,
and when it was over earth aud sky
were as peaceful as ever. They had ex-
perienced "a trembler,'' said to be
worse on the Bitter mountain than at
any other known place.

A Boarding School Story.


II any one ever wanted to laugh when
1t would have been the height Of impro-
priety to even have smiled, they may be
reminded of their feelings on such &C.
casions by the following good story: I'm
an Episcopal boarding school, 4 few
years since, the scholars and teachers
were assembled for morning prayer. The
reading and singing were over and all
were resuming their seats, when one of
the young ladies, of q very short and
thick stature. missing her chair seated
herself with 'thud' on the door. No
body smiled. All were too decorous for
that. The fallen one. embarrassed into
the n'omentary loss of common sense,
retained her lowly seat, opened her
prayer-book, and appeared to be earn
estly engaged In examining its contents.
This was almost too much for her com.
'panions, and smile began to struggle
on many fair countenance. when the
rector rose and commenced reading the
first morning lesson. He read from the
fifth chapter of Amos, as follows: The
virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no
more rise; she is forsaken upon herland:
there is none to raise her up This was
too much; the voice Of the rector trem.
bled as he looked up and saw the fallen
virgin; the scholars turned red in their
faces. and the exercises were brought to
. hasty close"

The Russian Language

The Russian language is . peculiar
one; some of it's letters are taken from
the Greek and some from the Latin al
phabet. whilst others again are quite or
iginal; besides some of the Latin letters
have an ent;-ely different meaning; thus
the 3 stands for w, the p stands for r
and SO on. Ny ignorance Of the Ian
guage was perplexing and sometimes
put me into straits. One night, rather
late. wished to ride back to the Hotel

I wished. was about an hours ride
away from the hotel, but trusted to my

the man to go ahead; OF we went at a
slashing gait. At first all went nice; we
passed some bridges and monuments

aesthetic diversion of some Of our youth

There is an English hat, the lining Of
which changes color by use in = most
unsightly manner, and . number of
young men are competing indussriously
in the work of coloring, or discolorine,

this thrilling sport are that it can be-
indulged in without any physical exer.

pense, it is an excuse for clinging long
to hat that otherwise would be con.
sidered old, ard it does not require

The rage for physical development
among young women is increasing.
Glasses are forming in gymnasiums
where young ladies and girls are taught,
and also small clubs which receive in.
struction in private houses. One Of
the latest phases of this mania is an in.
satiable desire on the part of many
young ladies to learn fencing. It has
become a fashionable accomplishment
in Europe. which is quito enough to
make girls here ambitious to acquire it.
Last year there were only few classes,
and they were small. This wear there
will be scores of young women pokinp
swords at each other. One Of the best
known gymnasiums in the city is
within stones throw of the Windsor
Hotel.
The young ladies who 20 there for
instruction and practice have little re-
firing rooms, similar to bath houses.
When they emerge they have cos
tune consisting of basque or jacket and
trousers. The agility, grace and skill
they show at the various exercises Is
astonishing. They are quicker to learn
than boys, lam told, and much more
graceful at everything they undertake.
At first they are made to make certain
movements with their fingers, hands
and arms. Then they are taught to
swing dumb bells and clubs, keeping
time to music. AS the average Young
lady does not straighten out her arms
properly when in the first stages of her
training, the wooden dumb bells have
little brass bells on them that Jingle
when the movements are made with
proper forte,
One of the exercises they are put
through is that of marching. with
sticks for guns. They like this yerv
much, and carry their heads with :
launty air; What young chap is there
mat would not pay good fee at tho
door to see them going through eyolu-
tlonsp But the Professor vigorously
excludes spectators. The advanced
classes are required to practice on the
horizontal bar. Beginners at this ex.
ercise have great difficulty in swinging
their feet over, but some Of the perse.
vering ones 60 through great variety
OF movements with the grace Of Al
acrobat. Swinging in rings suspended
on long ropes is favorite exercise.
In one corner Of the room there ara
several poles in an upright position.
and others inclining at an angle. Il il
almost incredible, but nevertheless :
fact, that young women will spend
hours climbing those poles. The most
popular exercise Is that Of mounting
and vaulting over wooden horse.
They make . rush ct this aud spring
into wooden saddle, and after much
practice they go over almost without
touching. The private Glasses ususlly
