Balky Horses.

Notwithstanding all that we see printed
with reference to balky horses, the causes
of it, and the remedy, how little is known
as o cure to horses addicted to this--in-
trinity, shall we call it2 AS long as we
can remember this singular fit of obstinacy
in the horse has been discussed and all
sorts of plans given for overcoming it. 1t
must be remembered that what will prove
remedy for one horse will not for an
other. The original cause of it is doubt
less neglect and i'll treatment of the colt,
or after it has been broken to harness.
Sometimes stopping few moments will
be sufficient to start the animal again of
its own accord. Kind words, patting,
handful of hay or grass, an apple, or q
little black pepper put upon the tongue,
will induce it to go ahead as if nothing
had been the matter. Whipping at all
times, and especially in this case, is the
worst resort. We have ourselves induced
balky horses to quietly start by some of
these means, and one was entirely cured
of it by letting it stand until it went on
again of its own will. Sometimes the
mere turning of the head and letting the
animal look in a different direction, or
rubbing the nose, has answered; so has
tying string around the foreleg below
the knee and drawing it rather tight.
Various resorts of this kind should be
adopted, but never force. - Germantown

The Mexican Reggar.

Mexico, if we may believe the historian
of its conquest, was well supplied with
mendicants before the arrival of the
Spaniards. Great crowds, writes the
conqueror, Cortes, swarmed in the streets
of the principal towns and cities.
Instead of diminishing with the ad-
vance of civilization, their number in
creased, so that at the present time they
assail every visitor to Mexico at every
vulnerable point. You meet them on
the coast, at every station on the rail-
roads, and at every corner of the street
in the great capital city.
They are ragged beyond belief, and
filthy to degree that causes not only
surprise, but CONSERVATION, in a new ar
rival in Mexico.
Their lugubrious whines penetrate the
walls of the largest buildings, and creep
in at the chinks of the closest shut door
and window
y No amount of threat or persuasion can
move them, unless their point is carried
and something given them. Mothers
MAIN their children in order to excite
the compassion of the stranger, and adult
beggars allow themselves to become the
prey of loathsome diseases for the same
purpose.
The proper name for the beggar in
Spanish is Mendigo, but in MeXico-per-
haps in other Spanish-speaking countries
he is known as Ell Pordiosero, because
he repeats "Por Dios, Senor"-''For the
Lord $ sake, sir give me something to
eat" etc, a thousand times day."---

In Derbyshire, England, it is consid.
cred bad omen to gather eggs and bring
them into the house after dark. Eggs

either eleven or thirteen; the number
must be odd, and if twelve eggs are sat
upon, the hen will scarcely succeed in
Matching them; or, if she matches, the
chickens will do no good.

In FIJI thirty years ago war was made

4 SeA-COw-A Rare Specimen.

The San Francisco Alta says that
rare and valuable specimen was brought
down from Behring's island by the Alaska
Fur company's steamer st. Paul, which
arrived there from the north. This was
no less than the skeleton of an Arctic
sea-cow found on Behring's island by DR..
Leonard Stejneger, member of scien-
tiic societies both in this country and
Europe, who was sent to the island in
the interests of science by the Smithso-
nian institute. The doctor was ham,
pered in his researches by the jealousy
of the Russian officials, who are act
ing in the interests of the Russian
Imperial academy, which is also eagerly
Sso-ehi~5 g.. -POOiuIon VI TIC sea-
cow, but in spite of their in
reference he succeeded in carry
ing away a skeleton which is of
the greatest scientific interest. This pc
culiar animal, which is now supposed to
island. Whether it has lived anywhere
else is a question. The fossil beds of
Europe contain bones of sea-cows, but
none which could have belonged to ami
mails like this. In the Indian ocean there
are also sea- COWS, but they are rare, and
they are not like the Behring's island ex-
tinct species. The sea-cows of the Indian
ocean have teeth, but those at Behring's
island had none; only two rough bone
plates in the mouth with which to grind
up the seaweed on which they lived,
when, resting their arms on the shallow
sea bottoms, they browsed in droves or
t1ocks along the shore. Whalers killed the
sea-cows, natives used their bones to
make runners for their dog drawn sleighs !;
now with the fathers of natural history
it is announced that this is an interesting
example of how easily a species may be-
come extinct; and with the satire of time
1t is told that the natives who sledged
over snow and ice on these bones, are
now prodding up the shore for miles,
guided by a curious and unfailing in
stinct which detects stone or shell from
bone of a sea-cow, and rival scientific
institutions are urging them on with the
hope of reward in modern gold.
The only account of them by an
observer is that of the scientist
Steller. who was with one of
Behring's second expeditions, which
was wrecked on this island and
wintered there in 1741. The specimen
brought here on the st. Paul is perfect,
with the exception of the end of the tail
and the wrist bones. In addition there
is a collection of seventeen sea-cows'
skulls, all in a good state of preservation.
The animals, when alive, must have been
from twenty-eight to thirty feet long,
with head about two feet long. It's
arms, of which there were two on the
seal-like portion of the body, had no
hands. They were simply blunt ends,
which were carried on the back when
the cow swan and let down to support it
as it fed. The mouth was small and
unarmed with teeth; the eyes were small
the ears, merely small orifces in the
head, without any sign of external ear
the tail and fins were like those of a
whale.

Parrots as Pets.

So far as can be ascertained the habit
of calling these talking creatures by the
feminine appellation of Polly originated
in the sneering tribute paid the opposite
sex by the owner of the first parrot in
captivity that learned to talk. This
cynical individual was blessed with a
better and more talkative half, who made
great pet of this uncanny bird, which
soon began to initiate her scolding tones
and did it so we'll that the husband gave
it her name of Polly. 1t is rank injus-
tice, however, to assume that therefore
only female parrots are expert takers.
1t is a fact we'll known by bird dealers
and fanciers that there is no difference
in this respect between the sexes. Males
and females, indeed, differ so little in
appearance that it is often very diff
ficult matter to determine their sex. This
is made doubly difficult by the fact that
they rarely raise young in captivity {;
therefore, all these talking pets are nee
essarily brought when young from the
countries of which they are natives.
The best are brought from Mexico and
are known as "double yellow-head Mex
leans" from the yellow patch ON top of
the head which increases in size at each
moulting until it often extends down
over the shoulders, forming a golden
cape that gives an old bird CANDY ap-
pearance greatly in contrast with its age
The gray parrots are natives of Africa
and are noted as whistlers, but on account
of the manner in which they are trans
ported it is difficult to obtain purely
healthy bird, Parrot experts advise
against purchasing African parrots that
come by steamer from Liverpool, because
they have generally contracted blood
disease, caused by the smoke and filth of
the engine room, where they are gener-
ally slowed in boxes, without adequate
ventilation. This ailment will carry
them off sooner or later, though the bird
may appear sound and healthy enough
when purchased.
The manner of teaching them is very
similar to the plan pursued in teaching
canaries to sing. After accustoming the
bird to being handled he is given lesson
on his own name or some other word it is
desired to teach him. After the word has
been repeated great many times, slowly
and distinctly, the cage is covered with a
cloth and the pupil left to ponder over
his lesson, with nothing to distract his
attention from it. Whenever the bird of
his own accord begins to repeat his les
son, his education is practically accom-
plished and what comes after is only in
the way of additions to his repertoire.

Bound In Oak.

A real novelty has been introduced
into binding by Mr.. Elliot Stock in
connection with his fac simile first edition
of ''The Religio Medici" This volume,
which has more than usual interest, be-
cause it shows the actual spelling and
wording of the famous treatise as it was
written by the author for his own edifca-
tion, and published surreptitiously by
the printer, is bound apparently between
two slabs of oak, beautifully grained and
figured in low relief with a graceful
scroll pattern. A close examination,
however, shows that the wood is not
solid, the fact being that some ingenious
inventor has discovered device where
by solid oak Gin this case the wood came
from an old chest can be cut in slices
of about the thickness of drawing paper
so soitened as to receive the impression
of stamped pattern, and being then
folded over binding of cardboard made
to present the appearance of carved oak.

The Deyil.Fish as Food.

Our octopi and angel-fish ave- becoming
more frequent visitors to our coast than
ever. One of the former kind is on ex-
hibition in the San Francisco Market.
The octoPus alluded to is between nine
and ten feet in length, but two of its ten
tacles had been cut off and sold for food.
Though larger specimens have been seen,
still fish of this size is capable of most
terrible work when seeking its prey with
its eight long, death dealing arms The
Italians prize the tentacles most highly,
the ordinary mode of eating them being
to fry them or boil them in oil They
are also served as o salad, and reputed to
be most delicate in flavor. s-Sm Francisco

Sunken Irish Cities.

There are numerous legends of sunken
cities scattered throughout Ireland, some
of which are of most romantic origin.
Thus the space now covered by the Lake
of Inchiguis is reported in former days to
have been a populous and tlourishing
city; but for some dreadful and unab-
solved crime, tradition says, it was buried
beneath the deep waters. The dark
spirit of its king still resides in one of
the caverns which border the lake, and
once every seven years at midnight he
issues forth mounted on his white
charger, and makes the complete circuit of
the lake, a performance which he is to con-
tinue till the silver hoofs of his steed
ar, worn out, when the curse will be
removed and the city reappear once
more in all its bygone condition. The
persantry affirm that even now on calm
night one may clearly see the towers and
spires cleaning through the clear water.
With this legend we may compare one
told by Burton in his History of Ire
land ''In Ulster is a lake 30, 900 PAGES
long and $4,000 broad, out of which
ariseth the noble northern river called
Bane. 1t is believed by the inhabit-
ants that they were formerly wicked,
vicious people who lived in this place, and
there was prophecy in every ones mouth
that whenever well which was therein,
and was continually covered and locked
up carefully, should be left open, so great
q quantity of water would issue therefrom
as would soon overflow the whole ada
cent country. 1t happened that an old
beldame coming to fetch water heard her
child cry, upon which, running away in
haste, she forgot to cover the spring, and,
coming back to do it, the land was so
overrun that it was past her help; and at
length she, her child and all the territory
were drowned, which ca1sed this pool
that remains. BlacE2oo0d.
