and chatty. He had no pain in his
throat, nor had he suffered from any

The Tale Of g. Calf.

Last Wednesday afternoon, as the
day freight train going north on the
Danbury and Norwalk Railroad was
approaching Cannon's Station, three
calves were discovered on the track,
who seemed disposed to dispute the
right of way with the train. The on
gineer whistled shrill warning to
them, but they needed it not. The
train being heavy it was impossible to
make a quick stop, and brakeman
named Gilbert jumped off and ran
ahead to ''shoo" them into ditch.
They didn't ''shoo" worth snap, and
Gilbert grabbed one of them by the
tail with the intention of throwing
him over into the lot, whereupon the
affrighted animal started on run up
the track with Gilbert clutching his
tail. If you've ever tried it, you know
it's no fool of job to maintain close
connection with a frightened calf.
especially when you're obliged to run
straddle-legged to avoid being kicked
by the flying hind hoofs. And that's
what Gilbert thought as he danced
rapidly along trying to make up his
mind whether he had the calf or the
calf had him. Meantime the engine
was gaining on them, and Just as it
seemed probable that the cow-catche1
would overhaul the calf-catcher, Gil.
bert, by stroke of good fortune, sue
ceeded in rolling himself and calf head
ever heels and hoof down the bank,
and the train whizzed by within
hairs breadth of them.-NorwaM Ga

A BrOken-Hearted Bird,

A correspondent thus writes: tNear.
ly twenty years ago owened a pair
of beautiful canaries-the male being
a very fine fellow, with rich musical
note. Having furnished them with
the outside rough form of a nest in
straw, leaving them to complete it's
comforts with bits of soft wool, down.
and small feathers, they were shortly
in the happy possession of four eggs.
In due course four young ones pre-
sented themselves, to the evident
delight of the parents, who fed them
from daylight to dark, their favorite
food being the yelk of hard boiled
eggs. lime brought round the period
when, instead of raw, naked, helpless
creatures always ''asking for more,"
four full-fedged young birds frisked
about the cage like 50 many pretty
yellow balls of fine soft wool. They
grew to be very fine birds; and first
one friend and then another coveted
them, until all had gone but one
little youngling, which remained as
the only solace of the parents. This
last of the family was the delight of
their hearts; they fondled it and
played with it as we have seen an
affectionate mother do with her child,
and seemed to exert themselves to
amuse it in every way their fancy
prompted.
Probably happier little family
never existed. But, alas! the spoiler
came. Another friend coveted the
last of the flock, and it was taken
away. And from that moment the
joyous song of the male bird gave
place to a painfully feeble little chirp.
He sat on the perch with dropping,
heart-broken, spiritless aspect; his
wings hung down as if all power and
vitality had left him; and within twen-
ty-four hours from the time of his BE-
reavement he fell dead from the
perch. The atfectionate creature had
evidently died of grief for the loss of
his lone eve lamb" The cage was
given away with the remaining bird;
and no inducement could tempt me
again to run the risk of perhaps un-
consciously being the cause of so
much unhappiness and misery

Gymnastics.

Health is a subject much talked
about 6f late, and health exhibitions
| have become fashionable places o1
resort of those with time on their
hands to lounge away an idle morning,
| as well as places of interest and in
struction for those who are aware of
the important fact that health is, and
should be; the first and highest consid-
GRAFTON of our lives, and when physi-
Clans tell us that it may be greatly
aided and supported by regular and
reasonable movemement and exercises;
such as gymnastics, riding on horse-
back, and even fencing, which are all
alike salutary, we should not fail to
impress this fact on the minds of tho
young and growing, to induce and in
cite them to use their limbs in every
possible way and manner:
gymnastics; often called calisthenics,
when practiced by young ladies and
children, were greatly appreciated by
the ancients; and have become very
fashionable pastimes in these days, but
it is necessary to have suitable; easy
fitting dresses when taking lessons of
the clever and even talented masters
and mistresses, especially educated for
giving instruction in such exercises.
The pretty gymnastic costumes for
children are mostly composed of short
trousers and blouse of gray linen,
either ornamented with rows of stitch
ing, or embroidered tastefully with
border of bright -colored cotton, and
drawn in at the waist with broad belt
and buckle, or clasps; for Young and
married ladies flannel robes are par
ticularly recommended, although dain-
ty arrangements are made up in soft
woolen materials and above all dark
jersey stufs; the pantaloons going
down to the middle of the leg are but
toned below, and the blouse, which is
high and closed before, completed by
short pleated skirt, trimmed with
colored braid, colored pleated frill
goes around the neck opening and en-
circles the wrist; band with sash bow
behind makes the costume fit we'll to
the figure, yet without pressure.
1t would be impossible to enter fully
into the principles of gymnastics as
practiced by the pupils, but we can
only state the results and assure our
readers that many diseases of the chest
and stomach have not only been reliev.
ed but entirely cured by the daily use
Of these excellent and healthy exer.
cises; we have seen, too, weak growing
girls and delicate, sickly looking chill
dren rapidly gain strength, vigor, and
elasticity as we'll as fresh, bright,
blooming complexion.-1he Season.

Snails "a Food.

The taste for snails az food is grow
ing in France. The ancient Romans
cultivated these gasteropods on a very
extensive scale. Their parks were
large and surrounded by water, so
that the snails could not escape, and
an abundant supply of moisture could
always be at hand. At fattening-time
tbe animals were put in earthen pots
pierced with holes, and rubbed on the
inside with flour mixed with wine.
Some of them grew to be very large.
The Romans liked snails because they
provoked thirst and gave an excuse
for drinking wine.-I0rQplo Globe,

Mr.: George W. Childs of Philadel-

Mr.: George W. Childs Of Philadel-
phia has done a pleasing service to
friends of Gen. Grant by discovering a
small deguerrotype OF him which was
taken in 1874, when he WAS only twen-
ty-two years old, and causing the por-
trait to be enlarged and preserved in
photographic reproductions. The face
Is smooth, and the absence Of beard
makes it difficult to detect the ik eness
1t first glance, but on looking more at
tentively every trait of the strong fea-
lures time and experience have hard
ened into the visage familiar to the
world can be distinctly recognized.
The young lieutenent wears the uni
form OF that time, differing greatly
from that of the corresponding rank
now: No other likeness of General
Grant at so early an age is known to
exist.
