HORRT RTDTNE.

We notice that many have a manila
for talking of their ailments. One
question about their health Will tilt over
on you the great reservoir Of their CON-
plants. They have told the story so
often that they can slide through the
whole, from G above to @ below. For
thirty years their spine has been at a
discount, and they never We're any bet
ter of neuralgia till they took the rheu-
matism. At first you feel sympathy for
the invalid; but, after awhile, the story
touches the ludicrous. They tell you
that they feel so faint in the morning,
and have such poor appetite at noon,
and cannot sleep nights, and have lqm-
bago in their backs and little dots float
ing before their eyes, and have taken
ammoniacum, gargled their throat with
sal -ammoniac and bathed their back
with sapOnaceous iniment: that very
moment they are chewing chamomile
flowers to settle their stomachs, and ex-
,cuse themselves for q moment to take off
a mustard plaster that begins to blister.
They are the harvest of druggists and
the amazement of physicians, who no
sooner clear the pain from one spot, than
it appears in another. At times we
should talk over our distresses and seek
sympathy, but perpetual discourse on
such themes wears out the patience of
our friends. You always see the young
people run from the gr0aning valetudi-
marian, and the minister fails in his
coincidence, for why speak of the pa
tience Of Job to one thai says boils are
nothing to his distresses-9 The hobby
he rides is wounded. Tncurable nags
are taken out on the common and killed,
but this poor hobby joys on with no
hope on the other side of the Red sea of
joining Pharaoh's horses. The more it

ERCTTC PHENOMENA.

A remarkable echo was noticed be-
tween two mountains at Plover bay ::
another, noticed by our sledge party in
a cliff at Cape Onmann, Siberia, gives
back more than a dozen echoes; and
Baron Wrangell ralates that a pistol
fired near some cliffs on the River Lena
is echoed 100 times. The great distance
to which small sounds are sometimes
transmitted is also worthy of record.
The first time the acoustic clearness of
the atmosphere came under observation
was aS st. Michael's, where a converse
ton carried on al an incredible distance
could be distinctly heard. Amid the
grim silence and desolation of WrangeIl
Land, at time, toe, when the air was
acousticasly Opaque for this latitude, I
distinctly heard our boatswain, small
man with squeaky voice, giving orders
two miles sway, while laughter and
sounds of the voice when any one spoke
above the ordinary tone were heard with
such amazing distinctness as to suggest
telephone communication Arctic let

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN soNe-B1nDs.

ENGLISH AND FOREIGN SONG-BIRDS.
The English birds are more domestic
and familiar than ours more directly
and intimately associated with man
not, as class, so withdrawn and lost in
the great void of the wild and unre-
claimed. England is like a continent
concentrated-al the waste land, the
barren stretches, the wildernesses left
out. The birds are brought near to-
gether and near to man. Wood birds
here are house and garden birds there.
They find good pasturage and protection
everywhere. A land of parks, and gar
dens, and hedge-rows, and game pre-
serves, and climate free from violent
extremes-what stage for the birds,
and for enhancing the effect of their
songs How prolific they are, how
abundant! IF our songsters were hunted
and trapped, by bird-fanciers and others,
as the lark, and gold-fnch, and mavis,
etc., are in England, the race would
soon become extinct. Then, as rule,
it is probably true that the British birds,
as class, have more voice than ours
have, or certain qualities that make their
songs more striking and conspicuous,
such as greater vivacity and strength.
They are less bright in plumage, but
more animated in voice. They are not
SO recently out of the woods, and their
strains have not that eIusiveness and
plaintiveness that ours have. They sing
with more confidence and copiousness,
and as if they, too, had been touched by
civilization.
Then theysing more hours in the day,
and more days in the year. This is
owing to the milder and more equabIe
climate. I heard the sky-lark singing
above the South Downs in October, ap-
parently with full spring fervor and de-
light. The wren, the robin and the
wood-lark sing throughout the winter,
and in midsummer there are perhaps
three times as many vocal Threats as
here. The heat and blaze Of our midsunl-
mer sun silence most of our birds. = x x
On the other hand, there are certain
aspects in which our songsters appear
to advantage. That they surpass the
European species in sweetness, tender
ness and melody I have no doubt, and
that our mocking-bird, in his native
haunts in the South, surpasses any bird
in the world in compass, variety and ex-
ecution is highly probable. That the to-
tai effect of his strain may be less winning
and persuasive than the nocturne of the
nightingale is the only question in my
mind about the relative merits of the
two songsters. Bring our birds together
as they are brought together in England,
all our shy wood-birds-like the hermit
thrush, the yeery, the winter wren, the
water wagtail, the many warblers, the
greenlet, the solitary vireo, etc.-be-
come birds of the groves and orchards,
and there would be a burst of song in
deed.-JOh'a Burroughs, in the Century.

fault. When disturbed he unlimbers
his long legs, Vnfurls his ears and goes
off with a bound. He generally stops
after running about 100 yards, and looks
back to see if his pursuer is enjoying the
chase as much as he thought he would
and then he leaves for parts unknown.
There are many fast things, from an ice
boat to a note maturing in bank, but
nothing to equal the jack-rabbit. An
unfounded rumor gets around pretty
lively, but could not keep up with him
for two blocks. When an ordinary cur
dog tries to expedite jack-rabbit route
he makes humiliating failure of it. He
only gives the rabbit gentle exercise.
The latter merely throws up his ears,
and, under easy sail, skins leisurely
along, lacking occasionally to give the
uneral procession time to catch up.
But if you want to see velocity, urgent
speed and precipitated haste, yop have
only to turn loose a greyhound in the
wake of iack-rabbit. Pursued by a
greyhound he will '"let himself out" in
a manner that would astonish a prepaid
half-rate message. If he is a rabbit that
has never had any experience with a
greyhound before, he will start off at an
easy pace, but as he turns to wink de-
risively at what he supposes to be an Or
binary yellow dog he realizes that there
is a pace in nature hitherto unknown to
him, and the look of establishment, alarm
and disgust, as he furls his ears and
promptly declines the nomination, is
amusing. Understood circumstances he
goes too fast for the eye to follow his
movements, and presents the optical IL
fusion of a streak Of jack-rabbit mile
and half long.-44esstila (zeras) lSJt-

THE J4CK-RABBTT OF TEXAS.

The jack-rabbit is an inhabitaHt Of
Texas and some other Western States.
He Is often called the ule-eared rab-
bit, " and, by the cowboy, Is Familiarity
spoken of as the "muley." He is not
a rabbit at all. A rabbit is an unobtrz-
sive little animal, who is found by
school-boys il a hole in the ground at
the end of long track in the snow.
The so-called jack-rabbit is quite DIFF
ferent kind of soup-meat. He is identi-
cal with tie British hare, except that he
is larger, his color lighter, and his ears
much longer. His avoirdupois is about
twelve pounds, and his ears measure
from tip to tip about sixteen inches. He
does not burrow in the ground. He lies
under cover of a bunch of prairie grass,
but is very seldom found at home, his
Office hours being between sunset and
sunrise. He is to be found during the
day on the open prairie, where he feeds
on the tender shoots of the mesquite or
sage grass. The jack rabbit has sew
eral enemies, among them the cowboy,
who shoots him with his rife, the coy
ote and the dog that tries to run him
down. He has two ways of protecting
himself against his enemies. One way
is to squat when he suspects danger and
fold his ears along his sides. By doing
this he often escapes observation, as
only his back is exposed, the color of
which harmonizes with the brown of the
withered grass. The other plan that he
uses when discovered and pursued is to
create remoteness between himself and
his pursuer. In giving his whole atten-
ton to this matter when necessary, he
is stupendous success and earnest to a

MEMORY IN CHESS PLAYING.

Wonderful as are the feats of chess
players, who can work out game or
series of games without seeing the board,
there is nothing really remarkable in
them. When once mastered, the trick
is not only fairly easy of performance, but
the fact that the process is purely mental
rather facilitates than impedes the action
of the rIind. To the blindfolded -
chess-player there is present mental
picture of the board with the pieces in
position. He can change the position
of the men as easily as he can think, and
after he has once mastered the difficulty
of fixing the mental picture, it is dis
tinctly before him. Some players, who
do not III their common process of mem
DRY use picture phantoms, work cut the
moves as algebraical propositions are
occasionally worked, by phantoms Of
sound; but, as rule, chess-piayers are
mental picture readers, and can at pleas
ure call up any one of the several pict-
ures OF boards as they last conceived
them. The most difficult feat, and one
which very few mental chess-players
can accomplish, is to play two or three
games simultaneously. the moves made
by their opponents being told them in
close sequence and their own moves
being directed after all the reports OF
the proceedings of their opponents have
been received. Thus, if there be sew
eral players against the one mental
player, he must be told and remember
what each of his adversaries has done
before he begins to give the instructions
for his several counter-moves. In this
exploit, The most perfect development
Of the mental faculty Of distinct pictur-
ing and displacement and recall of
mental pictures at will is exhibited. The
prodigious difficulty of the feat can only
be realized in the attempt to perform it.
Even the expert bindfolded chess-p player
can rarely succeed in accomplishing the
performance We have attempted to dea-
cribe.-LuacGt.

bad conductor, and tends to keep the
temperature uniform. One who wears
this Undertaking is not liable to take
cold. for it absorbs the perspiration
without checking it. After the mineral
and vegetable impurities in the sponges
have been sufficiently beaten by a heavy
hammer to admit of being readily
washed out, the sponges are dried and
pared with sharp knife. These parings
are then sewed together. The fabric is
prepared without the use of poisonous
dyes which, as Incorporated in cloth
underclothing, sometimes prove very
deleterious to the system.

Z, we thought nature had granted scarce
ly living creature to this sandy and dry
country. BY digging in the ground,
however, several insects, large spiders
and lizards, were found in a half-torpid
state. On the 18th few animals began
to appear, and by the 18th. three days
from the equinox, everything announced
the commencement of spring. The birds
began to lay their eggs, numerous in
