The Canadian Senate.

The sum Of S. is annually expended In
Canada to supply the Dominion Senate
with snuff.
1t is not exactly burning question
whether this allowance should be con-
tlnued. but intelligent public opinion
seems divided whether it is money
wasted or whether it may possibly be
useful expenditure in keeping the SEN
ators awake. The Canadians do not
seem to consider their Senate. metaphor

English. you know" is the golden rule.
are fond OF describing the Senate as the
Canadian House OF Lords. 1t is sort
OF travesty OF the House Of Lords.
The Senators are appointed by the
Governor-General in Council (which
means the Government of the day. and
hold their positions for life. They are
chosen principally from among super
animated politicians in the House of
Commons and wealthy merchants, bank
presidents and others whose cash and
influence have been useful at election
times to the party in power

The Organist Caught Mapping.

One of the ab!est clergyman in

his prayer he made one oi his arcus
toned pauses. The organi>t had
not perhaps been paying that strict
attention which organists II 2encr
al are accustomed 20 pay. He had
no donbt been dreaming OF some
symphony which has never yet been
vouchSafed to mortals to interpret.
But the solemn Silence reused him
from his raverie. He listened.
The stiffness was gaining; the pray
er was apparently done. His hands
sought the keys and music loated
npon the air. The congregation
was somewhat asitated, but not so
to the reverend gentleman. He
waited until the last strain died
away, and beginning, tive further
beseech thee, Q L6rd,' went on,
and brought the prayer to its prop
er conclusion.
Again the tones of the OF gan were
heard, but this time more softly
sweet than before. The organist
was now wide awake, but he pre-
ferred to pour fourth his soul in the
minor key.

Color Perception By the Human
Eye.

The fatigue of the human eve in
connection with observations of col
"rrd objects, especially when these
are brightly Illuminated. has been
explained il LIT Nature by NJ. Ro
Srnstiehi and others. These remarks
nave recently been collateu, with
the published results of novel ey
perimentS, by NJ. Albert de Rochas.
Il has been lail down by VI. Chev
renl that he human eye cannot be
long eYp'oyed in the perception Of
il given color without tpit!inr to be
come iiSSnsible, AMI to arouse an
impression similar to that oldin ri
y produced by the perception of
white light. DR.. Beclard has also
noticed that when one eve is direc

the other eye beiuy closed, if the
eye Which was open is IN turn closed
md the other opened, il specter of
the complementary color wilt te per

observed red disk, the left being
shut, a reversal of this state of
things would result in the percep

opened lett eye. In virtue of the

a dark and Il light gray are placed
side by side, the one will look dark

How to clean a Farm Horse.

horses eat their food IN pcac., to1
many, from Sangni'Ie temperament
or greed, boil their oats when han

Harness can be quickly enough put
on after the feed is eaten, and time
should then be taken to comb the
name and tail and use a wisp of
straw on the body and legs. When
the holSeS come in at dinner time.
they should at once be unh aTncsSed.
The feed is then to be given, and
before the harness is again Pot on.
the horse should be thoroughly
rubbed down with wisp Of straw
or hay. If the horses are very
warm on coming in, they should be
rubbed down Immediately after the
removal of the harness.
The cleaning or grooming, which
shonld be done at night, consists
first in cu'rying the horse. with the

adhering to the hair, and which,
being how dry, is easily removed.

The sultan.s German confectioner

One of the sultau's weaknesses is q
fondness for confectionery, and story
coming fresh from Constantinople shows
that he does not spare expense in indulg-
ing in it. "a short time ago." writes
correspondent, "a German coufectioner
travelled from Moscow to Constantinople
in the hope Of securing situation Be-
ing of an inquisitive turn of mind he de-
termined to get sight of the sultan, and
so kept lookout in likely places. At
last the opportunity came, and as the sui
tan was driven past his German admirer
vigorously saluted him. Unaccustomed
to such an exhibition of cordiality, one of
the sultan's officers thought it best to in
quire if it had any significance, and so
the German for the time was taken pos
session Of
His explanation proving satisfactory
and his innocence clear, and the avowal
of his avocation, moreover, creating
evident interest, the man was dismissed
with present and an injunction to turn
up the next day with clean skin and new
clothes. The result of the second inter-
view was that the confectioner was set to
making pastry as test of his powers in
that art, and his success was so COM
plete that he was engaged right off at a
salary Of 500 piasters per month. But
better luck still awaited him The pastry
found its way to the sultan's table, and
his highness was SO pleased with it that
he made the stranger from Germany his
confectioner at once with 900 piasters a
month for making tarts. AS both sides
are pleased with the arrangement made
the sultan with his confectionery and
the German with his pay-the outside
world has nothing to say.-Pal Mall

Joaauin Miller and His Daughter.


NEW YORK Jan. 81 The recent story of
the destitution OF th. e dest daughter of Joa-
quin Miller seems to be sequel to the life
of her gifted though eccentric father. From
the time he left his Indiana home as boy to
try his fortune in California till this very
day he seems to prefer to rough it than en-
joy the comforts of civilization He is at
present the husband of daughter of Will
liam Lelani, of hotel keeping fame, but he
lives in rough log cabin at he outskirts of
Washington rather than snare the comforts
of pleasant home life in New York with
his wife, He has been wanderer from boy
hood. Starting in life with very little edl-
cation, he tramped for seven years with no
visible occupation other than to write occa-
sional verses. In 1869 at the ag of 10, he
returned home and was prevailed upon to
settle down. He entered a lawyers office,
but the old rowing spirit got the best of him.

Burial Customs of Modern Greece.

A correspondent at Athens gives an
account of many curious burial castoms
peculiar to Greece which lately came
under his notice. A piece of linen as
wide as the body and twice as long, was
doubled and hole large enough for the
head cut out Of it. In this the body was
wrapped and then dressed in new clothes
and more especially new shoes. Beneath
the head was placed pillow full of lem
ON leaves. In the mouth was put g,
bunch of violets, and around the temples
n chaplet of flowers. These are used
)nly for the unmarried, and must be
white. Both head and feet were tied
with bands made for the purpose, which
were unloosed at the edge of the grave
when the coffin was about to be closed.
A small coin "a relic of the fee to the
ferryman) was placed in the palm of the
hand. AT Athens a sou is dropped into
the coffin. The greatest attention is
given to this point.
In removing the body the feet always
go first. A priest came on three success
sive days to sprinkle the room, fumigate
it, and repeat certain prayers, as for
that period after death it was supposed
to be haunted. After burial women are
hired to keep light burning over the
grave until the body is supposed to be
decomposed. To assist this, the bottom
of modern Greek coffins is of lattice
work. Every Saturday the poor of
Athens place on the graves of their
friends, eatables of the sort they used to
