The following incident is reported by
the Belgian Newspapers as having oc-
Cured at the recent Ostend horse races
King Leopold, who was present at the
races, was talking to some gentlemen
Of his suite, when an English gentleman
and lady passed by. The lady, pulling
her husbands sleeve. whispered, "The
king" and the Englishman calmly con-
fronted the Belgian monarch. slowly
produced a number of coins from his
pocket, from which he selected Bel
gian franc piece for the purpose Of veri-
flying the truth of his wife's statement.
After long and minute comparison
between the impression on the coin and
the original, the Briton called out. with
evident satisfaction, "Oh. yes. it is the
king!' King Leopold, who had
watched the scene. was highly amused
at the process of identification.

Appearances are certainly not in fa-
vor of the view that there is any seri-
Gus lack of discipline in the middle and
elementary schools of the empire. To
Judge by the regulations, the gymna-
sium, for instance. is quite model Of
strictness and propriety. The scholar
is kept in order by rules from the very
outset of his educational career in ono
of these establishments. There are
rules regulating his attendance at
church and his behavior during divine
services; rules showing him when he is
to have holidays and when to return
from them; under what pretexts he may
forsake his class, and with what dill
gence he must make up for time lost
during illness; rules fixing his behav-
iOr to his teacher in and out of school
hours; and variety of other rules in
culcating .politeness, honesty, truth,
early rising, etc.
Relaxation must be indulged in care
fully; amusement he cannot have at all
if it can only take the form of
theatrical representations harmful to
the moral sentiments" Masquerades
he must not visit, nor must he enter the
wine cellar, the coffee tavern, or the
confectiOners shop. He is held to
cleanliness of person and forbidden to
smoke tobacco or drink spirits. Long
hair is an abomination with the school
authorities, and if the pupil has un-
Willingly encouraged the growth Of o
beard, he can only hope to escape
punishment by a timely visit to the
BARRIERS shop. Ornament of all kinds,
in fact, is forbidden, and so into the
same category with the unnecessary"
beard are thrust the unnecessary ring,
walking-stick, and eyeglass. Saluting
the emperor when met in the street is
provided for by very strict regula-
tion, the observance of which has fallen
into desuetude of late years rather
owing to want of opportunity than lack
of will.
OF course the scholar has uniform.
This is indispensable. 1t teaches tho
military idea how to shoot, and it gives
material assistance to the police, who
are empowered to enforce the regula-
tons prohibiting the visits of students
to masquerade balls, wine cellars. and
other Objectionable places Of resort.

In the base of the capitol at Wash.
ington is the enginery by which the
house, the senate and the committee
rooms are warmed and ventilated and
the gas lighted by electricity. 1t is
altogether big apparatus, consist ng
of three immense fans, four engines and
eight boilers, with necessary appliances
for regulating the temperature and
moisture of the aif supplied to the ma
tion's legislators. The instrument
which tells whether the air is too moist
or too dry is operated by a single
human hair. A perfectly dry air is put
at 0; saturated air-that is, air carry
ing all the moisture it IL hold is put
at leo. A dial with hand like that of
q clock rerresents the different degrees
from O to 100.
The human har absorbs moisture
like rope, and, like rope, it becomes
shorter when wet. The difference in
length between hair six inches long
when wet and the same hair when dry
is made to represent the 100 degrees OF
moisture en- the dial, and the hand or
pointer moves backwa ard or forward as
the moisture in the air varies. If it be-
comes too dry, more steam is thrown
in: if too moist. less steam is allowed to
escape: and thus the atmosp' ere for the
nations statesmen is regulated and kept
at the healthful pcint, which is about 50.

THE COMMON cow.

There is more merit in the common
cows of the country than they get credit
for, says writer in the Rural Nev
Yorker. Give them the same pamper-
ing that the thoroughbreds get, and the
thoroughbreds the scanty, bare and hard
treatment the common stock gets, and a
few generations will suffice to bring them
both to the same level. The thorough
brsds are but what they are from good
food and good treatment.
How readily the common cows res
pond to little more generous supply of
food than they are accustomed to enjoy
is well illustrated in the experience of
the present season. Favored with an
abundance of rain to make flush of
. pasturage, the COWS which depended
wholly on grazing. have been better
supplied with food than they usually are,
and the result is something like 25 per
cent. more butter and cheese than they
are accustomed to make in the first half
Of the season. Their products are always
AoASO WhCu VIC cCobOu 10 iuVOEhulc IOT au
abundance Of grass, but when, in The
vicissitudes of the weather, the heavens
are less generous, and drought makes
feed unfortunately short, milk and its
products dwindle to the opposite extreme
and there are loud complaints Of the
scrub cows and the owners begin to
look around for better breeds. It is a
good idea TO look for better breed, but
It will require pretty sharp look out to
find breed of cows that will give full
returns from half fare, or do any better
than the so called native COWS when
there is lack of food to make milk
from,
When our dairy friends have such am
pie opportunity for witnessing the diff
ference between full and scanty rations,
why can't they utilize the hint and see
to it that their herds have full fare all
the seasons, whether the heavens smile
or frown. A little comparatively mex
pensive preparation for soiling with green
food in case pasturage should be scanty
would meet an emergency and secure
returns so generous and uniform that in
stead Of despising his cows it would in
spire an inclination to admiration and
gratitude.
