Some Curious Discoveries.

A well-known Paris scientist, Dr.. De-
launay, has made some curious dis.
coveries which show the connection
between little and great things. To
ascertain the qualities Of an applicant
cook he says it is sufficient to give her
a plate to clean. sauce to make and
watch how she moves her hand in
either act. II she moves it from left
to right or in the direction of the
hands of a watch you may trust her;
if the other way she is certain to be
stupid and incapable The intelli-
gence of people may also be gauged.
the doctor further says by asking
them to make circle on paper with a
pencil and noting in which direction
the hand is moved. The good students in
M athe matical class draw circles from
left to right The inferiority of the
softer sex. as we'll as the male Ounces,
is shown by their drawing from right
to left. Asylum patients do the same.
In a word, says the doctor, centrifu-
gal movements arc characteristic Of
intclli gence and higher Development is;
centripetal are a mark of incomplete

AN UNKNOWN KNIGHT.
lie Had Only His Muscle to Help Lady
and Knew How to Use 1t.

They came slowly along Lafayette

drawing wagon with m old body
with the pain. worn If the wagon
filed with kjudling wood. o. the
wagon seat sat a boy about fifteen
years old. H had no overcoat, q felt hat
with the brm more bent and dCntod
than the most extremely fashionable
hat YOU ever saw. The old, tired horse
drew up close to the curb, and seemed
TO be glad # the opportunity to rest.
The boy on he wagon seat jumped
down and soon was shovalinG the
wood into barrel. which he delivered
in a neighboring basement. Hr pres
emily returned with his empty BARREL
whistling. As he threw his barrel
into the wagon lady started to cross
the street over the snow. but when she
reached the middle of the street she
found broad, deep puddle of soft
sluSh. She stood perfectly still and
apparently very much puzzled.
The boy took in the situation at a
glance; he ran TO the back of the
wagon. got his shovel, and, with a
bright smile to the lady, began shor-
cling the slush up on to the snow
bank. He made clean path TO the
stones, and then. without giving the
lady an opportunity to say word.
sprang on to the seat Of his wagon.
threw the shovel into the bottom of the
wagon. gathered up his rcins and.

The Mocking-6ird's Song.

Whether or not this musical prodigy
has any tabernacle, it is difficult to
say. Winter is not, strictly speaking,
his concert season. yet he gives many
a charming matinee while snow is on
the ground. When the sun shines
brightly on a frosty day, and the air is
clear and crisp his jubilant song
sometimes starts us from our beds.
Though he does not sing every day in
winter. it is certainly true that he does
not retire for the season, nor with
draw to any great distance from his
home. His true hour of melody is,
like that of Europe's queen Of song, in
the night. Then all his music and
poetry are at high tide. On
summer night, when the air is
fragrant with the rose and Cape jessa-
mine. when the magnolia leaves and
blossoms glsten under moon as
bright as day; when the myrtle and
pomegranatc flowers shine like Jewels
and the cloth-of- gold looks mp TO the
stars with a radiance almost like their
own; when the air and earth are full
# a tenderness that marks the silent,
peaceful hour of midnight. then this
matchless bird. forgetting his capricas
of the day, and full of love and senti-
ment, pours forth such flood of song,
such grand epic of romance and
beauty that the very heavens seem TO
listen, and human hearts are touched
with a deep and holy calm. -ZtsHd
Cooke.
