A HORRIBLE CRnE.--On Thurs

river, below the r.. X. bridge, for
sand, Mr.. J. Nj. Baker came across
small box, which upon opening con
tanned the remains of a male "kid"
of apparently one week old at the
time Of being placed in the water
The emains were in good state Of
preservation and evidently had not
lain in the water long. The child
was clad in garments fit for mem

When Night Workers Should Eat.

For night workers the best regimen
includes a hearty breakfast when they
rise, which is generally from II to 3
o'clock; after this some moderate out
door exercise, which should be follow
ed by n short interval of rest and relax
alton; then Il good dinner, partaken of
between > and o'clock, at least an
hour before beginning work. If labor
is to continue until or 3 o'clock in
the morning a light nutritious repast
should be eaten shortly after midnight,
in order to fortify the system for work
during the hours Immediately follow
inc, when the vital powers are most
cnfceb.ed. When work is finished,
and before retiring, simple lunch
should be taken. in the form of a cup
Of rood hot broth or beef tea or glass
Of light wine and n couple of crackers;
this will generally insure sleep by
Withdrawing the blood from the brain,
where it has been concentrated by
mental effort. In ordinary cases of
wakelulness after night work, not con-
frmed by habit, light meal of this
kind will usually prove to be a remedy.
By attention to these details. and by
taking sufficient sleep, night workers
can preserve their health under ordI-
nary circumstances JuLict CorS0H IN

add one. third OF the amount required OF
cold water. and get the pot on the stove
where 1t will heat gradually. Az soon
as II comes to o boil, add another por.

tho third portion. After the whole
quantity OF water hrs been added, let it
boil at once. pour little cold water into
tho pot, remove from the stove, and,
after standing few miputes to settle,
it will he ready for use. THIS method,
winch is still simpler, is also good: Mix
the ground coffoe with q small quantity

add as much boiling water as desired.
and let II stand for ton or fifteen minutes

HENRY cLAYs DOC.

Mr.. Clay had . fine Newfoundland
dog that was presented by IN admiring
friend who lived In Nova Scotia. Tho
dog was very intelligent, and the "Sago
OF Ashland" trained him with his own
hanl to perform number Of wonderful
tricks, one OF which il o. follows: In
ono Of the pastures in which Mr.. Clay
allowed his finest stock 70 run was q fine
we'll, with large trough attached, by
means Of which the cattle were supplied
with water. The water was drawn from
the we'll by TIE bucket and.spindle sys-
tem, but 1t required great deal Of
manual labor to keep it in operation.
To avoid this Mr.. Clay constructed .
small trcndmill, attached 1t to the spin.
lle of tho well with IN iron crank, and
then trained the dog to walk the tread.
mill. In this manner the trough was
kept constantly filed with water, and
tic clover dog became 20 accustomed to
tho performance that, withou. the neces.
sity Of being bid, he made it his duty to
watch tho well constantly and SEQ that
the trough always had in it n sufficient
supply Of water 10 keep the coppers OF
the bloodod stock cool. Mr.. Clay loved
the dog, and WIS fond Of watching him
90 through the performance. He wonld
always hnve the performance exhibited
to his visitors. and when tho good old
canine finally gave up the ghost he had
him respectfully buried, and erected at
The head Of his grave IN elegant marble
