PugnaciOuS Ponies.

Ponies are common in India, but the
quainteSt of them all is little fellow
run to seed and called the tattoo. A
correspondent of the London Field fur
niShes the following description: 1t is
a pony with few redeeming qualities
to set off against a whole stableful of
vices; but among his very questionable
virtues may be reckoped his pugnacity.
So great is this, that it would be quite
possible to keep Indian tattoos, like
cocks, for fighting purposes. If decent
ly fed, groomed, and but moderately
worked, they will become as high
couraged as game cocks, and as ready
to rush at one another, and to do battle
to the death, as birds in the pit. A
chestnut pony of this sort-a child's
pony, TOBIAS been known to bite off
the ear of another pony for his break
fast. and to aSsimilate very consider
able portion of the tail of another
tattoo in the course of the afternoon.
When hard worked and i'll ed-as he
generally is in a native stable-the
tattoo's pugnacity, for which one can
not but give him credit, is turned into
q stubbornness that would astonish a
donkey. Nothing will move him, not
even a rope round his fore leg, backed
up by profanity AMI blows. a stole
might admire the animal when in this
mood if he did not belong to himself.
But perhaps after the five fat natives
within the box on wheels, to which
the tattoo is attached, have given up
all hopes of moving for that day and
have betaken themselves to the chew
ing of betel nut as a solacing and phil
osophical employment of the hour, the
cunning and malicious tattoo will
make a sudden and unexpected dash
forward with the reins about his heels,
when may be witnessed the edifying
spectacle of five fat baboo5 laid upon
the road at equal distances, just like
the eggs and the basket, as in athletic
performances. The tattoo's mind, such
as it is, is, in fact, against every man
and every mans hand is against him.
But although morally bad and physi-
cally unlovely there are good points
about the brute after all. 1t may take
time to discover them, still there are
hopes for the tattoo of the future.

The Speed of Thought.

Helmholtz showed that a wave of
thought would require minute to
traverse a mile of nerve, and Hirsch
found that a touch on the face was
recognized by the brain and responded
to by manual signal in the seventh of
a second. He also found that the
speed of sense differed for different
organs, the sense of hearing being re-
sponded to in sixth of a second; while
that of sight required only one-ffth
second to be felt and signaled. In all
these cases the distance traversed was
about the same, so that theinference is
that images travel more slowly than
sound or touch. II" still remained
however, to show the portion of this
interval taken up by the action of the
brain. Professor Donders, by very
delicate apparatus, demonstrated this
to be about seventy-fye thOusandths of
a second. OF the whole interval, forty
thousandths are occupied in the simple
act of recognition, and thirty-five-
thousandths in the act of willing a re-
sponse. When two irritants were
caused to operate on the same sense,
one twenty-ffth of second was re-
uuired for the person to recognize
which was the first; but slightly
longer interval was required to deter
mine the priority in the case of the
other senses. These results were OBJ
tanned from middle-aged man, but in
youths the mental operations are some.
what quicker than in the adult. The
average of many experiments proved
that a simple thought occupies one
fOrtieth of second,

The Nails.

The growth of the nails is more rap
id in children than in adults and SLOW
est in the aged; goes on faster in the
summer than in the winter, so that the
same nail which is renewed in one
hundred and thirty-two days in win
ter, requires only one hundred and six
teen in summer. The increase of the
nails of the right hand is more rapid
than those of the left; moreover, it diff
fers for the different fingers, and in
order corresponds with the length Of
the finger, consequently it is fastest in
the middle finger, nearly equal in the
two on either side of this, slower in
the little finger and slowest in the
thumb. The growth of all the nails on
the left hand requires eighty-two days
more than those of the right.

S9lrs all Whips.

The history of spurs is 10th curious
and entertaining. The earliet form
of spur was single goad or sharp
point.
The dashing young knights of the
feudal t.mos had IA great love for deco
rating their spurs with jewels.
In the tournaments they used spurs
with notices on the shanks. One such
had ~ true knight and |" on one side,
and "Anger me and try" on the other.
BY ancient custom, the chorister
boys in the cathedrals can claim "spur
money" if anybody enters the sacred
edilice with spurs on:
II you bring in spur or Int.
Sxpence you pay-5e sure OF that
The whip was not SO knightly as the
spur; it however took part in several
old customs
In the ancient city of York was a
day called whip-dog day, on which the
boys were accustomed TO 60 around
and whip every dog they met. This
originated in the following peculiar
fact. A priest once celebrating mass
dropped the pix, which an unreligious
dog snapped up and swallowed.
The profane beast was hung, and for
years his species was subjected to tor
ment for his outrageous impiety. That
was, of course, in the good old times.
Another humane game connected
with the whip was this: A rooster
was tied to the branch of tree. The
players were blindfolded and presented
with long whips. They were then led
TO little distance, and commenced
lashing in all directions, the fun con-
sisting in the smart cuts they gave one
another. The one who struck the zoos
ter first, and made him cry out, won
the game.
The old game of whip-top is as old
as history In Dryden's translation of
Virgirs Eneid we read:
As young striplings whip the top for sport
On the smooth pavement of the empty court.
Two hundred years ago men played
whip-top as eagerly as the boys, and in
some villages "town top was pro-
vided for the amusement of the poor.

UnmOYed.

The man or woman who tries TO get
a reputation for eccentricity is natur-
ally outraged at people who won't be
astonished. Baudelaire, French lit
erary character, was one of these, and
on his first coming to Paris he visited
another literary person, NJ. Du Camp,
who asked him whether he would have
Bordeaux or Burgundy. "Both," was
the reply, and he drained bottle of
each at draught, looking at his host
to see what impression it made upon
him. Du Camp was unmoved. Bau-
delaire soon visited Du Camp again
with his hair dyed green. Du Camp
paid no attention to it. At last Bau-
delaire cried in fury: "Don't you
notice anything peculiar in the color
of my hair?' Nothing whatever
was the reply. 81 have seen at least
fifty people with green hair to-day.
If you had dyed yours bright blue
that would have struck me as uncom.
mon" Baudelaire bounced from his
chair, flung himself from the room.
and declared to a friend that Du Camp
was the most disagreeable man in
Paris.

Queer Shops.

There are very many more boot and
shoe shops here than in any other town
l have ever seen, writes a London cor
respondent. In the business streets
one may count them by dozens, and they
all look thriving The continual rain
and damp of London probably account
for the innumerable shops for the sale of
India-rubber goods, there must be at
least twenty here for one to be met at
home. But the climate cannot explain
the remarkable prevalence of shops
where nothing is sold but artificial
teeth These crop up on every side
and excite our constant remark. We
wonder whether people step in and
buy tooth or two or set of teeth, as
one selects a hat or an umbrella;
whether regular dental operations are
carried on within; also, whether such a
branch of business can possibly be pro-
fitable when carried on by so many
traders.

Scatter Seeds OF Kindness.

There was never golden sunbeam
That fell on desolate place,
Bot left some trace OF its presence
That time could mover eiface.
Not sound of ine1able sweetness
That ravished the listening ear,
Tn I slumhered in silence forgotten
For many and many year
But word or q tone might awaken
Its magical power anew,
Long after The sweet voiced singer
Had faded from earthly view.
Nor heart that was ever 80 weary,
Or tainted with sin and despair,
But word of tender compassion
Might find an abiding-place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy, kindness and love,
And souls are gropiDg in darkness
Without one gleam from above.
There was never a sunbeam wasted,
Nor song that was sung in vain,
And souls that seem lost 10 the shadows
A savior's love may reclaim.
Then scatter seeds of kindness,
Though your deeds may never be known
The harvest viii ripen in glory
II the seed be faithfully sown;
And life will close with blessing,
And fade into endless day;
Like the golden hues OF the@sunbeam
That fade in the twilight gray.
