THE WOLF AND THE GOOSE.
A Goose who was prowling through
the forest one day in search of prey, OBJ
served II Wolf sitting on the limb of a
Tree and called out:
Good morning, my Dear. You are
looking usually well this morning"
That's all Taffy," replied the Wolf.
'''Pon honor. but I'd give a thousand

"Would youp'
Indeed would. And such eyes as
you have got! Yum! yumr'

pleased Wolf.
You bet! Why, if had your form I'd
go on the stage and make my fortune"
The Wolf put his finger in his mouth
and looked silly and felt flattered and
the Goose licked her chops and contin.
ued:
"Please come down and let me take
the pattern of your coat-tails. Such a
graceful set never saw in my travels"
The Wolf came down with his ears
working with delight, and had only
reached the earth when the Goose
sprang upon him and chewed him into
dish-cloths.
MORAL:

Explaining a Hole in a Rudder.

A rather singular occurrence has
been discovered by the officers of the
steamship Carmona, now in port. 1t
appears that lately, while the vessel
was pitching in heavy sea, daylight
became visible in the iron rudder, be-
tween the screw and outside rudder
frame. Closer inspection revealed the
fact that very large hole has been eat
en- into the rndder nearly 4x3 feet in
dimensions. Notwithstanding this, she
steered fairly and arrived without any
drawback. On arriving here repairs
were ordered, and the rudder will be in
good order for the outward voyage.
The only solution of the problem what
caused the hole in the rudder is given
by gentleman who knows his way
about y ship very thoroughly. He be-
lieves it due to the galvanic action
shaft. This having dsintegrated the
iron of the rudder, the action of the wa
ter washed away the iron piecemeal,
until at length the large and dangerous
hole was noticed This is another of
the difficulties iron ships have to over
come.

A Mechanical Rar

The ancient Parrhasius and Zenxis

praise, and the highest triumph of exc
cellence, 10 have the birds peck at their
pictured fruit, or a dog wag his tail on
looking at their portrait OF his master.
Perhaps IL really requires greater skill
to deceive instinct than to deceive reason.
The following anecdote is related to il
lustrate the perfection with which auto
matte toy animals are made to initiate
the originals:
An Immense cat, fat, sleek and a
great favorite. lived and roamed ut will
from the top floor to the sub-cellar OF
one of our business warehouse. He
knew very well what o rat was like.
One day fun-loving clerk bought toy
rat, with a spring inside, which no
wound up with key Us he would a
watch. The cat was near by, and while
one clerk stroked and petted him, an
other one put the toy on the floor few
feet off. Instantly as he took off the
weight of his hand, the rat started on a
run, and like flash of light puss had
his paw on it. While it was held down
the spring could not work; then puss
let it go, as cats will when teasing their
poor frightened prey, when it ran away
again and puss after it.
The least change in the way of hold
ing, would send it off in different
direction when free, but finally puss
thought it time to eat the rat, and
caught it in his mouth.
"Whir-r-r-r!'-The un-rat-ly racket
made puss drop the horrible thing,
which fell on its back and kicked. With
eyes dilated and splitting out fright, he
looked for one second. and then, with
tail erect, fled for his life and has never
come back. We know that when the
weight was lifted off the spring it must
run itself down; but puss, although she
knew better than we how to catch and
eat real rat, could not understand the
mechanical.-Littie Gem.

The history Of the labors of the Forty.

last Monday without having placed single

incidents of the organization have indicated
what Is to be the character of the legisla-
ton to be attempted and prohibited when
Congress reassembles on January z, 1884.
A large number of bills have been intro
duced, and their character also to some ex-
tent shows the drift Of congressional senti-
ment. Land grants to railroads, the neces.
sity of tariff reform, civil-service doctrine,
woman suffrage, temperance, the national
banks and standard dollars have already
cropped out as matters which demand dis
cussion. More important than anything
Congress could do In an ordinary session
is the fact the the vote which made Carlisle
Speaker Of the lower house determined the
policy of the National Democratic party for
the future in reference to the tariff, and also
determined that tariff reform is to the be
issue in the campaign of 1884.
