An English bishop had parr5t which,
at proper seasons and appropriately to
the circumstances, said: "Let us pray
sometimes devoutly and with becoming
solemnity, but again sarcastically or
ironically.
A Middleburg (Pa.l mouse tunnelled
an ear OF corn, built her nest in it, and
was living ON the grain on the outside.
The ear was eight and half inches in
length and nine and half inches in cir
cumference. and it contained l,600 grains
OF corn.
Monkeys are caught in Africa by means
of fermented beer. 1t is placed by the
natives within reach, and as soon as one
monkey tastes it he screams with Joy,
and many answer his call. They soon
get too drunk to realize the approach of
person, and are easily captured.
Russian wolves show great sagacity in
the capture of wild horses. They roll
and frisk about until the unsuspecting
victim is entirely off his guard. One
wolf then approaches the horses head,
and another his tail. Both wolves then
spring at their victim at the same instant
one at the throat and the other at the
hanks-and they do not let go until the
horse is disabled. The horse turns
round and round without attempting a
defense, and soon the victory is won. At
a signal the pack close in, and the small
fry wait until their superiors are gorged.
A traveller in the forests of Brazil saw
hairy spider with body two inches
long, and eight legs, measuring seven
inches each. 1t was on tree trunk be-
meath deep crevice, across which was
stretched dence white web. The lower
part of the web was broken, and two
small finches were entangled in the pieces.
One was still alive, but died soon after
its rescue. The hairs of these crab
spiders come off when touched, and cause
maddening irritation. He says that he
saw the children Of an Indian family with
one of these monsters secured by cord
and leading it around the house like
dog.
Old Jake, one-eyed pointer dog of
Sardis, Miss, on cold and rainy day
made call upon an old sportsman and
spent the afternoon by the fire. When
bedtime came he was driven out and the
door thumb.bolted on the inside During
the night the man was awakened by
cold wind blowing upon him. Hearing a
slight noise at the fire, he looked and
there sat old Jake. The fire was nearly
out, and the dog was putting the chunks
together with his paws and actually
blowing the dying embers. The man got
out Of bed, put on more wood, made
pallet for old Jake, near the fire, closed
the door and again retired.

While visiting Detroit recently, the
writer, in company with one OF the resi-
dents of that city, was taken to visit the
workings Of an industry which, for the
past year, has been doing an immense
business. ! was informed | should be

gent conductor and started to view the
works. We were first shown into a
large inclosure, which was almost en-.
tirely filled with old boots, shoes, old
harness, saddles, betting and scraps of
leather OF every kind, including the re-
fuse from boot and shoe manufactures.
This material is collected in various cities
and shipped to this firm, who use it in
their business. In fact it forms the basis
OF the article they manufacture. Leav-
ing the inclosure we were trken to room
containing large number of watts. These
watts were filed with old leather from the
Enclosure referred to, which was under.
going a process much the same as that to
which rags are subjected to in paper
mill. The stencil was horrible, but all
the workmen wore corks in their noses,
breathing through their mouths. We
had to follow their example. All the
dirt contained in the leather is extracted
while it is in the watts, and what remains,
a bright yellow mass, is taken out and
ground until it becomes pulp. This is
then taken to another room and the
chemist OF the establishment takes it
into his especial charge. Here the visi.
tor is not allowed to enter, as all of the
work by this individual is his secret, and
he refuses to divulge it to his partners,
he being the chief member OF the firm.
After being subjected to treatment in this
room for "a hours, the material is taken
to moulding room, into which we were
admitted and there is formed into steaks.
These steaks, after being cast, so to

as cooked, but when cooked last longer.
The product is shipped to the large cities
OF the country and meets with ready sale
to boarding house keepers. They are
furnished at about one-half the price at
which beefsteak can be bought in the
markets, and no one who is accustomed
to boarding house life can tell the differ.

Krupp has recently taken out patent
for aat-headed projectile, which novel
form was given to it with view of pre-.
venting its gliding off on striking the
armor plate of vessel at a great angle
of inclination. The form has further
been adopted with the object of penetrat-
ing ships armor below the water line,
an operation hitherto attended with but
little success, owing to the pointed head
OF the shot. In order not to cause q loss
of velocity, point of wood or a thin
iron plate is attached, which, on striking,

same time, being filed with oil, which is

THE RosY DAwHs AND EVENINGS
Sal. Lake Tribune.

The red sunsets still continue. The
scientists are all baffled in seeking to ex.
plain their cause. There is something
which, in the sunlight, makes the glow,
and that something is far above the earth,
as is proved by the fact that the skies
retain their unnatural hue after the sun
has been set for two hours, and the
earth has wheeled on its axis 1000 miles.
The most plausible theory is that the
nshes upthrown from the Java earthquake
assembled to an immense height above the
earth, and that the sun, shining through
the mass, makes the phenomenon which
we see But what a volume of ashes
must nave been thrown up to cause the
spectacle to extend in mighty panorama
the world around, for it is visible every
where. The Persian, as the dawn ap-
proaches, turns to the East and beholds
something ippth4 sks before which his
ancestors Of old wouss have Frustrated
themselves, sure that their deity was
drawing nigh. The Hindoo looks fear
fully upon the radiant armament and be.
lieves it forebodes trouble. The half
savages on the banks Of the Nile sees in
the glory coming of his new prophet;
the savage in the depths Of the American
desert looks upon it as he might upon
the funeral pyre of his race. The splen.
dor is too far-sproad to be ascribed to
volcanic ashes. How did the mighty
mass reach that altitude without being
marked in the fight? And what holds
it there! For year past the unusual
electric disturbances on our planet have
been tremendous, as has been shown by
cyclones, unparalleled storms at sea, ire
mendous sudden changes of temperature,
and more still by the fatality of diseases
and the furious displays of the passions
OF mankind. 1t would not be strange if
this subtle fluid that pervades all mat
ter was to work its phenomenon in the
air ~ it does ON the earth. How it
should be able to kindle rosy blush
upon the face Of the heavens, of course
we cannot explain. Neither can we tell
how it converts cloud into an explosive
as terrible as dynamite, and gives to it
an energy which enables it to lay city
or county waste under its sombre
march. The sun shining through falling
water makes the rainbow, because the
drops of water in falling assume form
which causes the suns rays shining
through them to be refracted and these
rays reflected, the blended colcrs of the
light being separated by the refraction
form the lines Of glory which make the
rainbow. 1t is but simple thing. The
child with prism Of glass can, on a
small scale, perform the same miracle,
and yet, for ages, the splendor painted
on the sky was hailed as the direct and
signal gift Of heaven, as the smile Of God
materialised. We wonder at the glory
OF the sky, but may be it is just as much
Of = wonder that it has not always been
so. And, after all, We can explain it
just as clearly as we can explain why,
when the engine starts in the electric
works, globe at the end of wire
mile away grows luminous. Poor gropers
that we are upon this cloud.b bound shore,
how little do we know of the splendors
of the Isles that bask in the infnity of
seas beyond!
