An Intersting Discovery.

General Meredith Read, in his speech at the banquet given in Philadelphia by the Pennsylvania Historical Society on the 2OOth anniversary of the introduction of printing into the middle colonies, an- nounced an interesting discovery which he made when United States Minister in Greece. In speaking of Franklin he said: : "Wherever types are set, or the electric spark may wander and work, Franklin's name is commemorated. The most re- markable result of Franklin's discoveries,
 the electric telegraph, owes its name to that mother of civilization, the Greek language, and it is remarkable fact that the venerable rocks which watch over the violet-crowned city of Athens have assumed the philosophers features. For discovered many years ago, while daily scanning the outlines of the ancient Acropolis, that the northwestern profile looking toward Mars Hill and the sea is as perfect likeness of Franklin as the southeastern is of Washington. It is Q happy and a striking coincidence that the father of our country and the man whose key unlocked the mysteries of the universe look down from that classic hill from whence flowed the influences which gave to mankind the sciences and the art of not governing too much"

Evolving a Story.

"Ah!' said Smith, commercial trav- eler, to group of friends, 'I was wit ness to sight just before leaving Chica- go." And then he told how he had seen poor German immigrant with his wife and family of eight yellow-haired child ren, how he had become interested in them, and had learned that they had left their native land to seek home in the Northwest. He was touched with the tenderness of the father and saw him purchasing apples for the children. All the family except the father had taken their seats on the train and he was just making change on the platform for his small purchase when the train began to move out of the station. He made a rush for it, slipped, and then, before the eyes of the poor family and other horror struck passengers, his head was taken off by the cars.
 Smiths friends were much affected and it was decided to take up purse for the poor widow and fatherless children, and this was speedily done and neat sum presented to Smith to be forwarded. He, with tears in his eyes, said:
 My friends, thank you, but can conceal it no longer That train took off the rest of the man, and he still hves."
 Smith will not travel this week. He is laid up for repa,rs.-Detroit Free Press.

The Useful POrp0ise.

''Yes, that's porpoise," said fish dealer in the Quincy market to reporter; ''yes, it's porpoise. Cape Codders call them puffing pigs, and l suppose nothing short of phocsena communis would satisfy you newspaper fellows"
 Are porpoises good for anything!"
 "Good for anything? Why, bless you yes. Their meat is splendid eating, and makes just as good mincemeat as any bit of beef you ever saw. Then their blub. Der dried out makes fine penetrating oil, which is great for rheumatism Take some of the oil and put it on your hand and it'll soak right in to the bones"
 ''You said porpoises were called 'pufing pigs Why it that?''
 "Well, thev root around for their grub, and then when they're swimming very fast they look around like fat old hog Some folks say they can swim hundred miles an hour, but I'm willing to cut it down to about eighteen and call it square. "-Boston Hauld

A Sacred Bird Chorus.

I am told that one of the prettiest Chi
 nese festivals occurs in the middle of April in honor of the very benefcent and popular god, Paak-tai The unique feature of his festival l. that on three successive even- ings all his worshipers bring th~..rpet sing ing birds generally larks, which they habitually carry about with them in their pretty cages, just as Englishmen go out ac- companied by their dogs. Thus a crowd of several hundred larks arc assembled, and all are brought into the brilliantly H. luminated temple. ;. The cages, which are covered for the occasion, are suspended from horizontal bamboos, so that presently the whole temple is full of them. On a given signal, all the coverings arc re- moved and the astonishcd larks, supposing that they have overslept themselves and al- lowed the sun to rise without their morn ing hymn, make up for lost time by burst ing forth into most amazing chorus of song, which they keep up for about two hours, equally to the delight of the human crowd, rich and poor, and of the beneicent deity who is thus honored.- Belgravia-

Raising Huless

Col. Joe Marley, of Ripley, Tenn, who is as we'll known for his elevated charac- ter as for his genial hospitality, has of late years turned part of his attention to mule raising. His method is as sim pie and economical as it is effective. He owns a large body of land situated near the Mississippi river in Lauderdale coun- ty, covered with a luxuriant growth of cane In the midst of this cane he fells a sufficient number of trees for the pur- pose, bores a number of large auger holes in the logs, and fills the holes with salt. Under the lead of an intelligent gray mare, whose habits have been fixed and whose temper has been mellowed by tho flight of years, he turns his mules into this magnificent cane pasture, from weanlings up, where they remain until ready for market. The ick-logs are their homes, the trees their only shelter. Their feed is costless. The old mare gives them motherly care and direction restraining them from running away in search of wildcats" and inviting them to regular festivals at the lick-logs.
 The mules thus brought up are well grown strong and hardy, with compact muscles, and are equal, if not superior to those raised within fence bounds, besides being unacquainted with many of the more con- spicuous vices contracted by tho isAssr during their playful yoatA. NsaRst1S fIsnn. )American.

The Chfnamen's Hands. !.

The Chinaman shows pair of hand some hands. They are small, the fingers taper and the skin does not readily har- den under rough labor. I saw 800 Chi namen at work upon the Central Pacific railroad, and studied their hands. Not one hand showed the usual large joints and clump fingers of the pick and shovel brigade. The overseer pointed out a group, with the remark:
 ''They have been at work upon the Central Pacific four years, and it is rare that one of them misses day."
 These men all had the pretty, taper fingers I spoke of it to the overseer. He said:
 "After four years of pick and shovel, their hands are handsomer than those of our dry goods clerks"
 ''Why do not their joints swell like those of the white laborer2" I asked.
 q don't know, unless they are finer blooded race. You know that is one o the peculiarities of the blooded horse,- his joints and limbs never swell, while the legs of the scrub swell by simply standing in the stable" This was an in- telligent white mans reply.-Dio Le0is

Look to the great west for guarantee that our meat supplies shall not run short. The latest enterprise in the pro- vision line out that way is the business of raising buffaloes for their hides and meat. For years past we have been hear ing of the inevitable extinction of the great herds of that huge animal, but this is all to be checked by the enterprise of Western Kansas people, who have found that buffalo steaks are worth more than beef for food purposes, and hides are valued at from $15 to $20 each. The market price for buffalo calves for breed- ng purposes is $50 each. A year or two hence, we suppose, we shall see buffalo steaks and roasts on the bills of fare of all the first-class feeding establishments in the country.

Better than They Looked.

Speaking of visiting Englishmen I am reminded of story of Matthew Arnold which has never yet seen the light of print When he made his featuring tour through America he was accompanied by his wife, and in Cleveland they were en- tertained by one of the leading families living on Euclid avenue One morning buckwheat pancakes were served at breakfast Matthew Arnold looked at them dubiously, sniffed suspiciously and passed them by without taking any. But Mrs. Arnold was more venturesome, and she took a couple of the steaming cakes, helped herself to maple syrup as she saw the others doing, and took a bite. Evi- dently she was surprised. The buck wheat cakes proved to be delicious, and turring to her husband she remarked:
 ''Do take some, Matthew, they're not half as nasty as they Cincinnasi TSHss-6kor.

A novel enterprise is to be set afoot soon in England, whereby an opportunity will be afforded to those who have money and leisure to enjoy travelling in a pecu- liar way. X vessel has been chartered which will carry some fifty first-class pas sengers, accompanied by an artist, pho tographer, geologist, mineralogist, q ootanist, zoologist, and others, who will explore and collect wherever oppor- tunity offers, but more especially in dis tricts practically unvisited hitherto. The first voyage will last twelve months. There will be no hurrying over ground where anything valuable to science or art can be obtained, and at intervals the voy agers will have the opportunity of break Ing up into sections and landing when either the beauties of rivers or the life an scenery of coasts can be studied and enjoyed The collections made on the voyage will be carefully preserved for subsequent exhibition or for presentation to museums.

Cold Waves.

Lieuteffant T. M. Woodruff of tho Fifth Infantry, who is actine Signal off cer, has been making a special study of "cold waves" He has found that fall of temperature succeeds an area of low Bafon1eter, and rise preeedes such area; and that Iii general the reverse Is true of an area of high barometer, viz; that fall precedes and rise follows it; but >shetli- CT these phenomena have the relation of catlse and effect cannot, as yet at least, be determined: About fifteen per cent. of the cold waves observed co1ffe iron, the Pacific coast ahd eighty-fve per cent. originate east of the Rocky Mountains, or came down the east side of these mos,n- tains from the British northwest territory. All of the cold waves traced out during these six months in each year appeared first at Helena, Mon., except five, Which five were felt at Bismark, Dak., before being felt at Helena; and we must con- clude, says Lieutenant Woodruff, that they have their origin in the vast regions of ice and show near the Arctic circle, far to the north of the observing stations. It often happens that cold wave sets in from the extreme Northwest, and upon reaching the Mississippi Valley divides, a part going northeast to the lower lake re- zion and the other part southward to the Gulf States; in either case the intensity appears to be greatly diminished. This action seems generally to be due to the sudden development of a storm some where in the southern part of the Missouri Valley. Another frequent feature is that after {. cold wave commences the temper ature continues to fall in the northwest, and another wave is formed entirely dis tinct from the first, from which it becomes separated by warm wave; the warm wave is only narrow belt, but the cold waves are perfectly distinct.
