A Horses Memory.

On the farm of Mr.. w. G. Marrow,
in the county of Warwick, Va, there
lives an old "war horse" that seems
to yet remember the days when the
shot and shell flew thick and fast.
The horse was the property of Major
Marrow, son of the above named
gentleman, who was an aid on Gen.
Lees staff. The horse was in num-
Der of battles and was at the surren-
der at Appomatox. Late in the year
of 1865 he was carried to the above
farm, he being at that time twelve
years of age. There he has remain
ed up to the present time. Some
few days ago a boy with a drum
passed by the house, and some one
asked him to beat the "long roll"
The old horse was grazing fifty yards
away. As soon as the boy common
ced to roll the drum the old charger
raised his head, and then, with ears
and tail erect, and nostrils distended,
he cantered proudly up to the drum
mer, signifying his appreciation by
repeated neighing, and remained
until the boy stopped.

his eyes whether he approved or disapprovcd
of my acting" said Henry Irving. He was
speaking after dinner given by an Amer
lean admirer to the great tragedian and n
few intimate friends when the wine and nuts
had brought out his genial nature. Henry
Irving's spider has long since been buried in
an honorable grave, but the memory Of his
affectionate nature and great intelligence is
enshrined in the heart Of the actor.
II first came across the little fellow one
evening in my dressing room at the theatre

so the actor tells the story. "The poor thing
was peacefully weaving a pretty home for

stood in the corner. l watched him musingly

Notwithstanding that Morocco has not yet
emerged from that state of barbarism in
which public roads are unknown, the pursuit
Of cycling appears to have been taken up
with much enthusiasm by the sultan of those
dominions. Mr.. Howarth gives a curious nc
count in The Bicycling News of his majesty's
achievements upon track which he has had
specially laid down in the gardens Of his
palace. At first he rode single tricycle.
under the tuition of the English officer who
holds the chief military command in Morocco.
Soon, however, he tired of the task of work
ing the pedals, as also, perhaps, of the falls
which he encountered in riding too near the
edge of the gardens, which are unprotected
by any walls or parapet. A brilliant idea
then occurred to him. He had Il large veoci-
pede constructed which could be driven by
slave labor In the center is handsome en-
bossed couch, with gold and silver drapery,
upon which lie sits like good Moor, cross
legged. Overhead is an umbrella or imperial
canopy, furnished with side curtains of Grim
son silk and enriched with fringes of gold.
The most characteristic things among the
other fittings Of this strange machine are Il
clock and "A magnetic compass fitted upon
two brackets the one ON the right and tho
other on the left Of the seat. The Mohamme-
dan must allow nothing " interfere with the
strict Observance of the hours of PRAYER: and
in case the rider upon the tricycle. is out of
hearing Of the proclamation Of the mouddhen
from the mosque tower he is enabled with
this clock and compass to ascertain the time
Of day. and also the direction in which the
devotions of the faithful are TO be addressed. -

With so simple an article rs a red cabbage
very old but pretty little chemical expert
ment may be made by the young people, with
the result Of amusing md astonishing those
around them. The effects may be strikingly
shown in this manner: Cut three leaves Of
the cabbage into small pieces, and, after
placing them in a basin, pour n pint of boil
ing water over them, letting them stand an
hour; then pour off the liquid into decanter
1t will be of fine blue color. Then take
three wineglasses-into one put six drops of
strong vinegar; into another six drops
of solution of soda; and let the
third glass remain empty. Fill up the
glasses from the decanter, and the liquid
poured into the glass containing the acid will
quickly change to n beautiful red; that
poured with tho soda will be fine green, and
that poured into the empty glass will remain
unchanged. Boston Budget.

Decayed Teeth and Eyesight.

Decayed teeth have been known to
exert an injurious effect on the eye
sight, but recent case in Sweden
illustrates this reflex action in an I'M
usually striking manner. The
patient was young girl blind in the
right eye, although the surgeon, DR.,
Widmark, was unable to detect the
slightest pathological change in the
organ. Observing, however, con-
siderable defects in the teeth, he
sent her to NJ. Skogsborg, n dental
surgeon, who found that all the up
per and lower molars were complete
ly decayed, and that in many of
them the roots were inhamed. He
extracted the remains of the molars
on the right side, and in four days
time the sight ofthe right eye began
to return, and on the eleventh day
after the extraction of the teeth it
had become quite normal. The de-
ceased fangs on the other side were
subsequently removed, lest they
should cause a return of the opthal-
mic affection.

Mistakes in Nomenclature,

David Dudley Field takes except
ion to the nomenclatureo of American
geography. He says there may be a
great deal of fitness or unftness in
names. To begin with, our CONT
nent was misnamed. In selecting
the name america" a great wrong
was done Columbus. The continent
should have been called columbia"
Now Americans are trying to make
amends by singing Hail, Columbia"
Just think of some of the wretched
names selected for places in the
United States. We have Tomb
stone, You Bet, Pop Corn, Cut Shin,
Raw Hide, Skunk Lake, Dirt Tub,
jug Tavern, Sawdust, Cow Skin and
Cut OFF. Almost as bad taste was
displayed in copying such old
names as Babylon, Memphis, Cairo,
Troy, Utica and Syracuse. 1t would
have been much better to have pre-
served more of the nomenclature of
theredmen. Nothing could bemore
appropriate and pleasant to the ear
than Mississippi, Oneida, Michigan,
Monongahela, Susquehnna, Mohawk
Idaho and wyoming.

Origin OF Slanting Roofs.

To find the source from which
the European nations have derived
the art of building in stone we must
look to the land of the Pharaohs.
From Egypt the crsft passed to
Greece, and from the Greeks it was
taken up by the Romans, to be by
them disseminated through the
north and west of Europe in the
process of colonization. The SINH
larity, in regard to the constructive
parts of the ancient Greek build
ings, to some of those found in
Egypt of older date affords strong
confirmation Of the tradition that
the Greeks borrowed the art from the
Egyptians. The Greeks, however,
in adopting it added Il new feature,
the pediment, and the reason for
this addition is easy,to find. Egypt
is practically rainless. All the pro-
lection from the climate required is
a palace or temple in such country
is shelter from the sun by day and
from the cold by night, and for this
a flat roofsupported by walls or pill
lars with architraves is quite suffic-
lent, but when, as in all European
countries, rain has to be taken into
account, slanting roof becomes a
necessity. The Greeks, with their
eye for symmetry, provided for this
by forming the roof with a central
ridge at an obtuse angle, from which
it sloped down equally on either
side. The triangular space thus
formed at the end of the building
above the architrave was occupied
by the pediment, and this part Of
the facade, which owed its birth to
the exigencies of.climate, was thence
forth regarded as so essential to the
artistic completeness of the work
that it was said that if a temple
were to be erected in the celestial
regions, where rain would not be
possible, the pediment could not be
omitted.
