Driving Without Hands.

A new method of driving horses by
means of the feet, SO as to keep the
hands warm in cold stormy weather,
has been introduced recently. The
method can be used either with or
without the ordinary plan of hand
driving, the latter being resorted to in
genial weather if preferred. The feet
rest on a firm board, and the horse is
guided by raising or lowering the toes,
thus bearing on one or the other rein
by means of straps in connection with
them, which pass over.the pully mount
ell on the front board of the vehicle.
The drivers hands are quite
free and may be inserted in the pockets
of his great-coat. The apparatus can
be attached to any vehicle in a very
few minutes and can be used by very
Young person. When the driver leaves
the vehicle there is gentle bearing on
the horses mouth, which tends to
keep him quiet. CasseVs Magazine.

to an assistant. he continued: "Mr.
Wilson, please get the iron red hot.
We will use it at once upon this boy"
"The fellow didn't say anything, but
he tried by signs to beg the doctor not
to perform the operation. The iron
was brought, and the surgeon began
arranging the patient. The sight of
the instrument on its spirit fame, al
most at a white heat. brought forth a
terrible cry from the boy, the first
sound in six years. Then one assis-
tant held his legs. another his arms,
third his head, and wedge was thrust
into his mouth. Still not a word.
The hot iron was lifted and brought
near to his face, so that he could feel
the heat. Whether the operation
would have been performed or not I
am unable to say. but there was no
meet ssity, for the instant he felt the
heat he shouted:
"Oh, don't, doctor dear, please don't;

The Dumb Made to Speak.

NEARLY every hospital and house of
correction in the country has its regu-
lar attendance of malingerers," says a
physician at the Episcopal Hospital,
Philadelphia. Some are most cum
ming in their schemes to become
patients. The comfortable bed, the
good food and the kind attention they
receive are the temptations to try these
deceptions.

A Bible Riddle.

A young Bible student was asked,
"How many boys ara there in your
class?" His reply was as follows:
Multiply the number of jacobs sons
by the number of times the Israelites
compassed Jericho, add to it the num-
Der of measures of barley which Boaz
gave Ruth; divide this by the number
of Haman's sons; subtract the number
of Lots family when they dwelt in
cave; subtract the number of days in
the week in which the Israelites gath
cred mama; multiply by the number
of men who went to seek Elijah after
he was taken to heaven; add Joseph's
age at the time he stood before Pha-
raoh; divide the number of stones In
David's bag when he killed Goliath;
add the number Of furlongs that Beth
any was distant from Jerusalem; di.
vide by the number of anchors cast
out when Paul was shipwrecked; mu!-
tiply by the number of wives saved in
the ark, and the product will
be the answer" The Rev. L. G. Carr,
of Ripon, Wisconsin, will be pleased
to receive answers from such as have
time to prepare them.

Vocal Quality.

A lady was singing at concert, and
her voice was, to say the least, very
thin in places.
"Ah~ said her husband, who after
the manner of husbands who have
musical wives, thought her vocal
powers were great, "what fine voice
she has!"
VERY fine," replied strange man
at his side.
"What timbrew continued the hus-
band.

New Use for Mother Earth,

A Japan paper dilates on the virtues
of an edible earth which it says has
been discovered in the Hokkaido. The
substance is an oily clay, brownish in
color. No cereals are grown in the
soil, on which shrubs attain to a
height of about six feet. The inhabi-
tants of the region live chiefly on roots
and the blood of animals which they
hunt. The attention of the natives
was drawn to the earth by observing
deer eating it, Al d the people now
make use of it when tn Y are short of
other food, rolling it int balls from
which they make kim o soup.

Making a Bow.

In public, the bow is the proper mode
of salutation, also, under certain circum-
stances. in private; and. according to
circumstances, it should be familiar
cordial, respectful, or formal. An in
clination of the head or gesture with
the hand or cane sufllces between men,
except when one would be specially
deferential to age or position; but in
salutlng lady. the hat should be re.
moved. A very common mode Of do
ing this in New York, at present,
particularly by the younger men, is to
jerk the hat off and sling it on as has
tily as possible. AS haste is incom-
patible with grace, and as there is an
old pantomimic law that "every pic
ture must be held for longer or
shorter time, the jerk-and-sling manner
of removing the hat, in salutation, is
not to be commended. The empresse-
lucuu q llidu puIo luIO ulo odluIdIlOlo .
is graduated by circumstances, the
most deferential manner being to carry
the hat down the full length of the
arm, keeping it there until the person
saluted has passed. If man stops to
speak to lady in the street he should
remain uncovered, unless the converse
tion should be protracted, which it is
sure not to be, if either of the party
knows and cares to observe the pro-
prieties.
A well-bred man, meeting a lady in
a public place, though she is near
relative-wife, mother, or sister and,
though he may have parted from her
but half an hour before, will salute her
as deferentially as he would salute a
mere acquaintance. The passers-by
are ignorant of the relationship. and
to them his deferential manner says:

A LAWYERS Trick Exposed.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Times relates some interesting anec-
dotes of old Gov. Allen-"Rise-up
William Allen" one of the most noted
and popular political characters ever
produced by Ohio. One incident is
particularly amusing. At one time
Gen. Murphy. celebrated advocate,
practised in Chillicothe and Southern
Ohio, the defense Of criminals being
his forte. His power with jury was
almost irresistible, and the facility
with which he wept in behalf Of his
client carried everybody with him.
A notorious horse thief had been in
dicted at Chillicothe. and, of course,
had retained Gen. Murphy. The pros
ecuting attorney secured the services
of Allen to help him convict the rascal
if possible. The evidence was heard
and it made pretty clear case against
the accused. The prosecutor opened
for the State and was followed by Gen.
Murphy in one Of his most eloquent
and fearful efforts. The jury, like the
advocate, and a large portion of the
audience were in tears, but Allen sat
bolt upright. with stony and danger
Gus glare in his steel-gray eyes. When
Gen. Murphy had concluded, and sat
wiping away his tears and sobbing,
Allen arose and said: -u
= Gentlemen of the jury, it seems
cruel to say anything to break the
charming spell that the learned coun.
sci has woven around you. or rudely
dspel the tears that he has drawn like
pearls of humanity from your eyes.
Your tears have been responsive to
his, but perhaps had you known the
fountain whence sprang his tears,
yours would not have welled up re-
sponsive. Gentlemen of the jury, let
me show you the fountain Of the
learned counsels tears"
Saying this he reached over the table
with his long arm and flshed some
thing out of Gen. Murphy's coat
pocket. Holding aloft big red onion,
peeled to the quick, he went on:
81 was aware that the onion was
the symbol of the Egyptian mysteries,
but not until now did I know that it
was the substance Of Gen. Murphy's
tears and mysterious power over a
jury"
The prisoner was convicted without
the jury leaving the box, and it was
years before Gen. Murphy got over the
| clever expose.

Old Egyptian Skill.

The ancient Egyptians excelled in
nice mechanical work, and it might
puzzle some of our masons and stone
workers to equal them at the present
day. Mr.. Kendrick, in speaking of the
casing of the great pyramids, says ::
"The joints ere scarcely perceptible,
and not wider than the thickness of
silver paper; and the cement so tena-
cious that fragments Of the casing
stones still remain in their original
position, Notwithstanding the lapse of
so many centuries, and the violence by
which they were detached. All the
fine work of the interior passages
where granite is not expressly men
toned, is of the same stone, and fin
ished with the same beautiful exact
ness. But the skill in quarrying was
displayed more in the extracting of the
huge blocks out of which obelisks and
colossal statues were hewn. Obelisks
ninety and statues forty feet high,
each fashioned out of one stone, were
not uncommon things; and the blocks
selected for these monuments were not
chance splinters from barbarous efforts
of splitting and smashing, but clean
slices separated secunduma artem from
the native rock, after being selected
and accurately defined. Andhow was
this done-by driving in huge iron
wedges? No, indeed; that would prob
ably have split the stone. BY infinite
labor, then, in chiseling and saving ?
The old Egyptians knew trick some
what cleverer than that; they cut a
small grove along the whole length of
say, one hundred feet, and in this in
serted number of dry wooden wedges;
then they poured water into the groove
and the wedges expanding simulta-
neously and with great force, broke
away the large fragments as neatly as
a strip Of glass is taken off by dia.

A well-known New York seed firm
has in deposit company's vaults four
arndred pounds of caulihower seeds,
which, at the selling price of 500 per
pound, shows the value of this seed to
be $4,000. Not only is this plan of
depositing in vaults found to be
cheaper than insurance, but, what is
of more Importance, is that if the seed
should be destroyed by fire this guam
tity necessary for their trade could not
be replaced at any price in time for
the spring sales. When it is considered
that four hundred pounds of cauli-
flower seed will, under favorable con-
ditions, produce nearly thirteen million
plants, which when headed for market,
and sold at even s cents per head. will
produce the sum of s750,OOO. The
value this vegetable has attained in
this country, where twenty-five years
ago it was almost unknown, becomes
readily apparent.

"The question of the gold supply of
the world,' says the London Pail Mall
Gazette" continues to attract great
deal of attention. Decreasing produc-
tion on the one hand and increasing
consumption on the other give rise to
uneasiness. The decrease in produc-
ton has been continuous since 1861.
Taking the worlds production in peri
ods, in the five years including 1861,
it was 139,000,0O0 sterling. In the
next five years it dropped to l36,00O,-
900. in 1871 to 12S,000,000, and in 1876
to l1S,000,0O0, in 1881 to 107,000,00O
and in the current five years to 1886,
unless the Transvaal or some other
mines add considerably to the yield, the
amount will have fallen to about S5,-
100000, or some 50,000,000 per five
years less than was produced twenty
five years ago.
