HOW TO BE A HERCULES.

Samson the man who breaks chains
with blow Of his fist, snaps them by
the expansion of his chest, tears them
to pieces with his fingers, and rends
them asunder by enlarging his biceps,
undertakes to tell others how to acquire
the strength that he possesses.
"Roll up your Sleeve" says he, "and
rub your arm well with oil to prevent
the skin from breaking. Then draw
over the biceps thin ring of steel,
which should fit very closely, so as to
choke the circulation of the blood.
Bathe the muscles with cold water, and
rub down well every morning and even.
ing. Through dlligent working of the
muscles the blood will find its way
through, and thereby strengthen them
in time. l eat meat, eggs and rye

ANATOMY OF THE SNAKE.

A large majority of the different
species of snakes lay eggs with a
rather flexible, calcareous shell, but
many of the venomous species, like
the common rattlesnake, are said by
The MezO York Sun to be oviporous;
that is, the eggs are hatched while
still in the body of the parent. But
no rattlesnake nor other species of
serpents ever sucked blood from a
chicken gill;" There are no doubt
persons who believe they do, and
others who believe that snakes are
tond of milk and suck COWS to obtain
it. But such beliefs never originate
among those who know anything of
the structure and habits of serpents.
The mouth parts of snake prevent
any such process as is usually called
sucking. Snakes do not masticate
their food, for their teeth are only
adapted for seizing and holding their
prey, and are accordingly sharp,
smooth and arched toward the throat;
consequently, when food is once
taken into the stomach it cannot be
elected.

BUTTER WITHOUT OHURNING.

The art of making butter is about
to be revolutionized. That is, if
discovery just made by lady in
West Nyack can be successfully put
in operation. The old method of
churning will be abolished. Neither
horse, dog or hand power has a part
in the new method. Its discovery
was accidental. The discoverer, who
has experimental with her new meth
cd many times, believes in it thor
oughly.
She put the cream of several days
milkings from her pet Jersey COW in
a thick cloth one day last summer,
and as it was too warm to churn
placed the bag in the ground in a
cool place, thowing shoveltul of
earth over it so that puss could not
get at it.
She left it there until she came
home the next day. When she took
the bag from the ground she found
the cream had turned to a great yel-
low lump of butter, and the only
thing LETT for her to do was to salt
and mark it. The buttermilk had
entirely disappeared, but there was
about a third more than the usual
amount of butter obtained by chur-
ming.
She has tried the experiment a
dozen times since, and always OBJ
tanned better butter than by
churning. The only exception was
one time when the rain soaked into
the ground and mildewed the cream.
She is perfectly willing to let the
world have the benefit of her discov-
cry, hoping it may in some degree
lessen the hard work of farmers
wives.
Whether it is the chemical action
of a particular condition Of the soil
on the cream or what the cause is,
she does not attempt to explain, but
the fact remains that when she has
buried the cream in the earth for
twenty four hours it is turned to but
ter. and good, sweet butter too.

Woman's Work.

There is no end to the tasks which
daily confront the good housewife.
To be successful housekeeper, the
first requisite is good health. How
can woman contend against the
trials and worries OF housekeeping if
she be suffering from those distress
ing irregularities, ailments and weak
nesses peculiar to her sex? DR..

Dry Leaves Are Valuable.

America is the land of plenty, and it
is as we'll the land OF waste. Many
Europeans would become wealthy on
what our people throw away or neglect
entirely. In many European countries
as soon as the forest and tree leaves
turn and the high winds begin to scat
ter them over the ground, the poor peo-
pie turn out and gather them up as
carefully as they would crop of fruit
or vegetables. The small farmers pur-
chase those leaves, at prices unpropor-
tionately high, and use them for fertiliz-
ing purposes. Leaves in those coun-
tries are regarded as valuable property,
and those who gather them without
permission and take them off are prose-
cuted, fined or imprisoned.

His Plea.

1t is very we'll to desire the good
opinion of our fellow-men, but it is dam
gerous, as well as in bad taste, to angle
for compliments.
A conceited young lawyer made a
"spread eagle" speech In a Missouri
court. and falling in with the judge the
next day, he said to him: "Good
morning Judge Lucas good morning,
sir What did you think of my little
effort yesterdayN
"Ah," said the judge, "you are the
young gentleman who addressed jury
in my court. Yes, yes. Well, sir, your
speech reminded me of little yellow
dog l have at home. When he wants
to lie down, he starts and makes cir
Gle, and round and round he goes, half
dozen times or more, and then he
lies down at the very place he started
from.N

A City of Magnificent Pavements.

Much has been truly said of the
magnihcence of the street pavements
of Washington, and in this respect
the city has been kindly compared
with Paris. There is no doubt about
it that the street pavements are the
smoothest and most attractive in the
United States, but the sidewalks are
in wretched condition. Brick here
and stone tagging there, with an
occasional planking. The uneven
ness of the sidewalks does not add
to the delights of pedestrianism, and
persons with tender feet take to the
middle of the street. There must be
great many tender footed people
in Washington, judging by the num-
Der OF men, women and children seen
daily and nightly stepping along on
the street pavements. Sunday is the
day when they appear in droves.
The sidewalks are almost deserted,
and the churchgoers in their most
fashionable attire take to the middle
of the street as campaign heeler
takes to Doodle.

worked for hlm-gold daisies on a red
ground and there are his wedding
suspenders they saw much more active
service than General Grant. How
many times had he made buttcn-hole
in them with his knife And when one
got too weak to be worn longer, he
kept himself together with a solitaire,
and converted the other into razor
Otrop. And when they had both served
two or three terms as razor strops, they
were put into the rag carpet, where
they loom up as two white doves against
the background of black velvet, and
after all the other pieces in the carpet
have lost their color and character, the
suspenders will be as tough as railroad
sponge cake and ready to be cut into
gate hinges.

MAKING FUN.

Once when travelling in stage coach
| met a young lady who seemed to be
upon the constant lookout or something
laughable and not content with laugh
ing herself, took great pains to make
others do the same.
Now, travelling in stage coach is
rather prosy business. People in the
situation are apt to show themselves
peevish and selfish ; SO the young lady's
good humor was, for time, very agree
able to the travellers. Every old barn
Was made the subject of passing joke,
while the COWS and hens looked de-
murely on, little dreaming that folks
could be merry at their expense. Ami
mails are not sensitive in that respect.
They are not likely to have their feel
ings injured because people make fun
of them =; but when we come to human
beings that is quite another thing. So
it seemed to me; for after awhile an
old woman came running across the
fields, swinging her bag at the coach
man, and in shrlll voice begging him
to stop.
The good-natured coachman drew
up his horse, and the good old lady,
coming to the fence by the roadside,
squeezed herself through two bars,
which were not only in horizontal
position, but very near together. The
young lady in the stage coach made
some ludicrous remark, and the passen-
gers laughed. 1t seemed very excusa-
BILE, for in getting through the fence the
poor woman had made sad work with
her old black bonnet, and now, taking
a seat beside well-dressed lady, really
looked as if she had been blown there
by whirlwind. This was a new piece
of fun, and the girl made the most of
it. She caricatured the old lady upon
a card pretended, when she was not
looking, to take patterns of her bonnet,
and in various other ways ried to raise
a laugh. AT length the poor woman
turned pale face toward her.
"My DEAR" said she, "you are young,
healthy and happy; l have been SO,
too, but that time has passed l am now
decrepit and forlorn. This coach is
taking me to the deathbed of my child.
And then, my dear, l shall be a poor
old woman, all alone in the world where
merry girls think me very amusing
object. They will laugh at my old
fashioned clothes and odd appearance,
forgetting that the old woman has a
spirit tina. has loved and suffered and
will live forever"
The coach now stopped before a
poor looking house, and the old lady
feebly descended the steps.
"How is she?" was the first trembling
inquiry of the poor mother.
"Just alive" said the man who was
leading her into the house.
Putting up the steps, the driver
mounted his box, and we were upon
the road again. Our merry young
friend had placed her card In her
pocket. She was leaning her head
upon her hand and you may be as
sured | was not sorry to see tear upon
her fair young cheek. 1t was a good
lesson, and one which 1 hoped would
do her good.

They Held Their Dinner.

Not long ago a local ministerial
association. at its regular meeting at
one of the Boston hotels, partook of
a dinner of eleven or twelve courses,
which seemed altogether more elab-
crate than the price agreed upon
would warrand. After the meal it
transpired that they had disposed OF
a dinner for special party later in
the day, and by mistake served to
them. The ministers met the situa-
ton calmly, held their ground and
their dinner, and left the landlord to
settle with the other party.
