best appointed service of trains and the
fastest schedules of the day. The track is
in faultless condition, sleepers and coaches

leaving Cincinnati, no difficulty is expert
enced in obtaining accommodation of the
highest standard. The line penetrates the
richest mineral and cotton sections, and en-
route TO New Orleans and Shreveport the
phenomenal cities of Chattanooga, Gads-
den, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are passed.
A journey south, via Queen and Crescent

De Feltre's Phonozenograph.

The Due de Feltre has designed an
instrument. which he calls . pho
nozenograph. intended to indicate the
direction of any distant sound. A mi
crophOnic plate of peculiar cOnstruc-
ton is fixed in a vertical plane, and il
in circuit with a battery and tele-
phone receiver. or a Deprez-D' Arsonva-
galvanOmeter and a Wheatstone bridge.
The microphone is more or less af
fected by distant sound, according to
the angle that it makes with the source.
By moving the plate about until the
maximum effect is obtained the OBJ
server is enable to exactly locate the
direction of the sound. The indica-
tons of the telephone receiver are alb
sOlutely accurate. but those afforded by
the galvanometer are less 50, and this
latter arrangement will require great
modification of the microphOnic plate
before it can be said to be of a practi-
cal nature. This instrument may pos
sibly prove of use at sea in preventing
collisions in foggy weather.-Eleeti-

TO A CHILD.
KANSAS

Oh my child, my pure and perfect man-child,
With the light OF Heaven in your eyes.
And your yellow hair like glory resting
Ger face so ansel-sweet and wise!
Oh my child, hold your hand and tremble
When think Of all that you must meet
On the way, where there is naught TO guide you
Save my clouded eyes and stumbling feet
All the nobleness that sleeps within you
Waits my touch to waken into grace;
All. the man you will be haunts my future
With reproach, not love, upon his face:
Is the gardener not appalled, and daunted
When he sees but lifeless twigs, and knows
That within the bare brown things there slum-
bers.
Waiting for his waking hand, the rose:
So fear, from fingers all unskillfuL
Some rude touch your perfect growth may
mar:
II the prunin g-knife slip but a little,
You must carry. all your life, scar.
Oh. my child, unknown. unconscious currents
Meet and mingie In your young, warm blood;
So God help me when your soul shall blossom,
And-God help me should blight its bud

THE KOBURGER BIBLE.
A Rare Edition Of the Scriptures In Which
Moses Appears With Horns.

Rare Edition Of the Scriptures in Which
Moses Appears With Horns.
The latest addition to the collection
of antiquities. curios. old manuscripts,
ETC., in possession of General Charles
W. Darling. of Utica. N. Y, is a rare
and perfect copy of the Koburger
Bible, printed in folio by Anthony
Koburger. of Nuremburg, 1883. Pre-
vious to this time printing had been
done mostly in Latin. although in 1880
the Italians began to print with Greek
and Hebrew types, which they were
the first to use. Anthony Koburger
was man of great learning, eminent
also for his elegance in printing,
and styled the Prince of Printers.
He printed thirteen editions of the
Bible in twenty-six years, twelve in
Latin and one in German. all large and
handsome folios and highly esteemed
as extremely beautiful specimens Of
the art. His chef d'euvre was the Ger
man Bible printed in folio, 1883, and
profusely illustrated with most extra
ordinary and complicated wood cuts.
In these curious and fanciful pictures
Moses appears with horns. Jerome.
in translating from the Hebrew. made
the Latin Vulgate say Of Moses, as he
came down from the mount, that His
head radiated with light" The error
of Jerome In the translation was occa-
stoned by his misinterpretation of the
Hebrew word signifying both a horn
and pencil of light; for as
the horn of the Oriental buffalo
and pencil of light were
both conical in shape, the same word
was used in the Hebrew for each. The
Hebrew language to certain extent is
an object language, and the word hero
used is expressive of shape, signifying
that his face had rays of light stream
ing from it.
As the vulgate vas the Bible of the
Roman Church. Michael Angelo, when
he turned to the Book of Exodus for
description Of the appearance of Moses,
found him described as having horns.
This explains the horns On the head Of
the great lawgiver of Israel. Thus 10

Nine Rules which Should BE Observed By

Nine Rules Which Should he Observed by
Careful Buyers.
l. Never take the sellers word. II
disposed to be fair. he may have been
the dupe of another, and will deceive
you through representations which eau
not be relied upon.
9. Never trust a horses mouth as a
sure index of his age.
3. Never buy horse while in mo-
ton; watch him while he is standing
at rest, and you will discover his weak
points. If sound, he will stand firmly
and squarely On his limbs without
moving any of them. feet planted fat
upon the ground. with legs plump and
naturally poised. If one is thrown
forward with the toe pointing
to the ground and the heel
raised. or if the foot is lifted from the
ground and the weight taken from
it disease of the navicular bone may
be suspected. or at least tenderness.
which is a precursor of disease. II
the foot is thrown out, the toe raised
and the heel brought down the horse
has suffered from lamnitis, founder or
the back sinews have been sprained.
and he il of little future value. Wheel
the feet are all drawn together be-
meath the horse, if there has been no
disease, there is a displacement Of the
limb at least. and weak disposition Of
the muscles. II the horse stands with
his feet spread apart or straddles with
his hind legs. there is . weakness of
the loins and the kidneys are disor-
dered. When the knees are bent and
totter and tremble. the beast has been
ruined by heavy pulling. and never
will be right again, whatever rest and
treatment he may receive. Contracted
or Informed hOofs speak for them
selves.
4. Never buy q horse with blui sh
or milky coat in the eyes. They in
dictate a constitutional tendency to
ophthalmia, blindness, etc.
5. Never have any thing to do with
. horse who keeps his ears thrown
backward. This is an invariable in
dication of bad temper.
