MAKING A Fool OF HIMSELF.
In 1868 Ex-Governor Seymour of New
York, the Democratic candidate 70,
President, was constrained against hi
protest and better Judgment, to max,
a personal campaign among the peo
pie. This is what the Plumed Knight
said of him in the Brooklyn Academy
of Music, October 81, 1868:
"If We needed any excuse for an
additional word on our side, it NAV

when the candidate of the Democratic
party, in wild despair at the result Of
the State elections, is traveling through

heveled hair and wild companions,
engaged in the hopeless task of reviv-
ing the impaired constitution of the

Animal Life in JaDan,

Professor Rein, a German scientist and
traveller, says that Japan has at least fifty
species of mammals, including apes,
bears, dogs, martins, badgers, foxes,
mice and rats, hares, boars and deer
The last are exceedingly numerous. In
the winter of 1915 80, 900 deer were
killed on the plains of Hidaka, in south
cast Yezo. Cows are used not for theil
milk, but for draught and burden. Other
domestic animals are little horses, dwarf
dogs, stuntcdtaied cats, rabbits, pigs
and various fowls.
There are at least $50 species of birds,
most of which agree with those of Eu'
rope. The tops of houses form resting
and roosting places for sparrows ravens
and kites, which act rs scavengers. There
are many fine singing birds. Pheasants
abound, and hunter can bag a dozen
head in few hours in the reed beds and
paddy fields. Swimming birds, OF
course, are most numerous. They rise by
the ten thousand at the sound of pistol
along the bay of Sendal. Even in the
heart of Toxic wild ducks and geese are
found in tlocks.
Reptiles and batrachians are not numer-
sea-snakcs. The fresh water tortoise so
frequently represented in bronze is the
symbol of long life and happiness. In
the temple tanks, protected by the priests,
are to be found many Methuseleh of
this horny-backcd race. There are only
eight snakes. The japanese have no re
spect for the harmless kind but they en-
trap the poisonous mamushi, skin it, cook
IT, and eat it as a nerve food. They use
mountain-newts boiled and dried as a
remedy for consumption and worms.
Among the curious animals is the giant
saiamander, which reaches length of
$50 centimetres. 1t is rapidly dying off
Fish, too, are exceedingly numerous, and
form staple article of food. Hundreds
of thousands of the inhabitants are en-
gagged in fishing and yet there is no dim
mutton in numbers Cannibalistc fish,
like the pickcrel, are not found. There
are now 600 species known and the list is
by no means yet full. Professor Rein
himself collected 1872 species of beetles.
Flcas and musqutos are prevalent, but
the ferocious civilized cimcx lectularius
has not followed trade and the mission
aries into the Islands of the Hesperdes.
The waters abound in crabs, but there
are, as yet, no Holsters. The latest scien-
tiic works enumerate 1, 200 species of
molluska. One kind of shell was used
by the japanese as signal horn. In
blowing them riot was indicated by one
blast, fire by two blasts, robbery by three,
treachery by four. A boaster was said to
blow the Triton's horn.

Scripture, after which came the usual
questions which he addressed to the
father, and to which he bowed assent.
Then the minister told him; present
your child for baptism After this the
father took the child and held it while
the minister baptized it, sprinkling it
with water, but not making the sign of
the cross, saying first to those present:
''Thc child's name is Victoria, and then
to the child:
"Victora, baptize thee in the name of
the Father, and OF the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, one God blessed for ever. Amen.
"The Lord bless thee and keep thee, The
Lord make His face to shine upon thee and
be gracious unto thee! The Lord lift up His
countenance upon thee and give thee peace"
"The service was concluded with
another short prayer and the usual bless
ings. l thought it most appropriate,
touching and impressive. | gave my
present Ga silver mug to the father,
kissed the little baby, and then we all
drank to its health and that of its mother
in whisky, which was handed round with
cakes. 1t was all so nicely done, so
simply and yet with such dignity"
In June, 1870, her majesty superin-
tended the clipping of her sheep. She
gives this graphic account of the event:
'Drove off at II 80 on past j. Thorn
sons house. Here, in the nearest adj
joining field, close to the wall, all the
sheep (mine) were in a pen, and james
Brown, the shepherd, and Morrison, my
grieve at Invcrgcldcr, assisted by others
Zone, a brother of the Morgans) took
them out one by one, tied their legs
together and then placed them on the
laps of the women who were seated on
the ground, and who clipped them one
after the other, wonderfully well, with
huge scissors or clippers. Four were
seated in a sort of half-circlc, of whom
three were Mrs. Duran, Mrs. Legs doth
| these did their work admirably and Mrs.
Morrison, who seemed rather new at 1t
and had some difficulty with these great
heavy sheep, which kick a good deal.
! The clippers must take them between
their knees, and it is very hard work.
-Four other women were sitting close
under the wall also clipping. Then the
sheep were all marked, and some, before
being clipped, had to have their horns
sawn to prevent them growing into their
heads. 1t was very picturesque sight,
and quite curious to see the splendid
thick wool peel off like regular coat"

WISE WORDS.

In order to deserve good friend you
must first learn to be one.
A man may talk continually and not
be eloquent, sound and substance are
not twins.
Charities should be diffused. Grain
will not grow if piled in a heap; it must
be scattered.
Labor is one of the great elements of
society-the great substantial interest on
which we all stand.
The first ingredient in conversation is
truth, the next good sense, the third
good humOr, and the fourth wit.
Strict punctuality is perhaps the cheap
est virtue which can give force to an 9TH
erwise utterly insignificant character
There is in a man higher than love of
happiness. lie can do without happi-
ness, and instead thereof find blessed
ness.
One of the best rules in conversation
is never to say thing which any of the
company can reasonably wish he had left
unsaid.
1t is impossible to make people under
stand their ignorance, for it requires
knowledge to perceive it; and, there
fore, he that can perceive it hath it not.
He seldom lives frugally, who lives by
chance. Hope is always liberal and they
that trust her promises make little scru-
pie of reveling to-day on the promise of
tomorrow.
If the sense of the ridiculous is one
side of an irrcpressible nature, it is very
well; but if that is all there is IN a man
he had better have been an ape and stood
at the head of his profession at once.
a right mind and generous affection
has more beauty and charms than all
other symmetries in the world beside,
and a grain of honesty and native worth
is of more value than all the adventitious
ornaments, estates or preferments; for
the sake of which some of the better
sort so oft turn knaves.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

In the White mountains, wherever the
climber has been cut it has been allowed
to grow up again. The rainfall in the
Merrimac valley has been nearly the same
every year since 1926. No forest de
struction is going on thereabouts,
Loadstone is the magnetic oxide of
iron. When this is highly magnetic and
exhibits polarity it is called loadstone.
1t is the richest known ore of iron, and
it is used for the manufacture of iron, as
are other ores of that metal. 1t is found
in almost all mineral regions rich in iron.
More natural gas" companies are be-

Professor A. Nantier has been trying
the effect of various manures upon pota-
toes, bccts and maize. Superphosphate
and precipitated phosphate were most
efiicacious in increasing the yield of pota-
toes. Precipitatcd phosphate proved in
every respect more beneficial than the
superphosphate with beets The best
crops of maize were raised from land
treated with the manure of the farmyard.
A common trouble in country black
smith shops is the going out of the fire
while the smith is doing work away from
it. This annoyance can be prevented by
keeping at hand box containing saw
dust. When the fire seems to be out
throw handful of sawdust on the Goals,
and a good blaze will quickly follow.
This may seem a small matter, but there
are many who will find the suggestion a
useful one

A Living Light.

"Come into my sanctum, said a natur-
alist to a Cincinnati Ehgai,er writer,
land I'll show you something odd
Accepting the invitation, the writer
soon found himself in a coy library filled
with books and the various adjuncts of
the professional naturalist The owner
carefully closed the blinds and shutters
of the window and turned out the gas,
leaving the room in total darkness; only
for moment, however, for directly over
the writer's head began to CLEAN soft
rich light or lights that darted about,
now blazing out into exceeding bright
ness or anon dying away, but in the main
emitting glow sufficient to read the
heading of an Enquirer column with per-
feet case.
"New electric light'o suggested the
writer.
Hardly" was the reply. 'It would
be difficult to get Il patent on this; no
one could describe how it is done. In
fact continued the naturalist, stirring
up the lights, making them blaze again,

A correspondent who noticed an ac-
count of remarkable case of hereditary
longevity of life in a Scottish family,
recently printed, gives the record of the
Bigelow family, of Peru, Vt. In the in

years; but the correspondent states the
united ages of the seven daughters of
