The Fuss and the Goldfish.

William R. Neville of Hampden has goldfish which has had singular ad- venture with a cat. The fish is six inches long, and it's world extends only to the limits of glass jar on table in Mir. Neville's store. For company it has three or four silver fishes. A large black cat, which has watched the com pounding of medicines in that store for a number of years, and which has walked among the medicine bottles on the shelves without doing any damage, manifested great affection for the goldfish. After making his daily rounds, Tom would stealthily approach the jar, look in, settle down by its side, and sit for hours and observe the antics of the goldfish. The latter did not seem to desire an acquaintance with the cat, but appeared alarmed. Day after day Tom resumed his vigil. By degrees tho fish became accustomed to Toms visits, and soon got over its first alarm. Counting the confidence of the fish, Tom would sit and blink. Finally one morning the feline made a sudden lunge into the jar and brought out the golden fish, which he carried to back room to devour. Seeing his pet fish in the mouth of its lnsidious enemy, the doctor rushed to the rescue. The fish is now back in tho jar and is as frisky as ever, showing, however, the marks of the cats teeth in its sides. --- Baltimore American.

Defrauding by Washed Stamps.

We, not infrequently, hear of new de- vices for obliterating the marks from postage stamps and of the danger that is going to happen to the revenue of the postoffice from the fraudulent use to which they may be put. Pay no atten- tion to those humbugs, advises the St. Louis Globe Democrat, for they are spectators. Take it for granted that the government employs scientific men who know more than the counterfeiters, and the latter know more about such matters than tho spectators. Tho government has thoroughly investigated the matter, and has arrived at an under standing after arduous experiments. If it loses anything by washed postage stamps one would scarcely imagine the trouble it required to arrive at an absolutely safe combination that will resist water, alkalies and acids. It was oncc serious question. At first it was proposed to use certain kinds of paper, but this proved not feasible, because a skilful operator could wash off tho ink without injuring the paper. Then ex- periments were concentrated on tho printing, and water colors were pro. posed which would wash off with tho application of water. But it was found that the heat of summer had the same effect. Still another method was to have the ink fixed in tho paper, but acids easily took out the color. Finally simple plan was arrived at. This was to make the ink of materials which chiefly compose ordinary writing ink, and, therefore, what would destroy the stamp would destroy tho marking. on the stamp, which would bc of tho samo quality and character.

Oyster. Eating Monkeys,

Monkeys seem to kaow what is tooth some. A species of them makes daily repast upon oysters. A string of some two hundred small islands called Merghi is located near the coast of British Bur. nah, the largest of which are less than thirty by seven miles. There aro less than thousand people on ali of them, not enough to interfere perceptibly with the animal world, consisting of all kinds of tropical creatures--- serpents, tigers, bears, rhinoceroses and many kinds of monkeys. Dense forests sup ply ample dwelling places for all of them. There is a Macacua among them, says Carpenter in Nature, that feed on the oysters left daily on the beach by the retiring flood. They emerge in large numbers from the wood, go to tho beach and pick stones not larger than can be we'll grasped with their hands, and then proceed to tho edge of tho water. Having picked cut an oyster, the monkey holds it with ono hand, and with the stone in the other breaks the upper shell, which accomplished, his nimble fingers pull out the mollusk, which he devours with avidity.

Getting Rid of Rats.

The amount of destruction caused by rats in tho barn, in tho corn crib and under the stables, cannot be estimated by one who has not been called upon to fight the vermin at disadvantage through the long months of winter. As in the house, so in the barn, rats and mice are natural and voidable punishment for neglect careless ness, or want of skill. In bringing the corn and grain in from the fields and storing it away in the fall, it is almost impossi ble to prevent the introduction of several of theso nuisances; but if precautions are taken they can be exterminated before any serious harm is done. Every hole or hiding place ia the floor of the barn or crib should be thoroughly stopped up before war is declared against tho ami mals. Then the corn-crib should be set on capped posts, and wire netting nailed around the bottom and caves. The horse stable and COW stable should be paved with cobble-stonos covered with cement and gas tar. The rats and mice will then find no hiding place except in the barn, where there are always plenty of little corners and dark places to run into. But the intro duction of several cats h the barn will soon destroy the nuisances, if they have no better shelter than that offered by the boxes and bags. If the grain and meal are kept in the barn, there is noth- ing better to protect the b1ns than broad hoop iron nailed on the edges on both sides, inside and outside. Hem lock plank should be used to build the bins of, on account of it's sharp, splin- tery nature. By attending to these lit tie details great saving is made, as the bags will soon cease to be full of holes when wanted, and the corn will not be nibbled away in such large quanti- ties in the crib when spring opens. No man can tell how much he will ave by this extra work, for h, cannot tell how much he lost before; but tho amount of worry and anxiety that he will save himself will be no small part of the gaia.-[ New York Examiner.

A Farmers Expedient,

A Maine sheriff, who was rather under sized, was given writ of arrest against an Aroostook farmer. Having found the owner of the farm in the field, he explained his business, when he was requested to read his writ, which com- menced as usual: ''You are hereby commanded without delay to take the body of," etc. "All right" says the prisoner, stretching himself back on the grass, 'Tm ready" "Oh, but you don't expect mo to carry youa" "Certainly, you must take my body, you knoww ''Will you wait until I bring a team2' "Can't promise. I may recover from my fatigue by that time." "Well, what must I dol" "You must do your duty" And there he lay immovable until the sheriff left, when he left also. Did he resist arrest?- Lewiston Journal.

Harford protested that the cut was nothing---a mere scratch of the skin-- -- and persisted in regarding the whole thing as an admirable joke. In fact, it only seemed to make us excel lent friends.
 My Aunt Jocasta, however, did not improve on acquaintance, as had hopei she would. Perhaps there is something antagonistic to gentlcness and refinement in this second hand business. At all events, I was heartily glad when my arm was we'll enough to go to Goose berry Mountain.
 'I shall never want to come back to New York again." said ], after Mr. Harford had seen to the checking of my baggage, and we stood together in the shelter of. the Grand Central depot, waiting for the great gates to open.
 '.Not even if asked youa" said Har- ford.
 It was nearly dark, and no one could sec that he had taken my hand in his.
 "You" I echoed.
 'Tve been trying for the last week to ask you to be my wife," said he. 'It's my last chance now. Tell me, Lucy, do you think you could love mo enough to marry me9'

 He stopped and kissed me under tht shadow of tho monster poke hat that wore.
 My own darling," ho whispered ''write when you get home and pcrhar I'll come out and see you in week ol two."
 So am engaged to Walter Harford after all, and l think it extremely likely that shall spend tho rest of my day in New York. An d should be quite quite happy, if I could only forget that shocking episode of the brass warming pan.-[ Saturday Night.

Western Cattle and Telegraph Poles.

Western Cattle and Telegraph Poles
 The Union Pacific train runs for miles, hundreds of miles, a'oag the Platte and South Platte rivers, and you begin to see that the engia eers of these western railroads must have loved the rivers, for they followed them very closely, and when they get further on among the mountains there is stream so perverse, or crooked in its ways that the engineer will depart from it. .a
 These are the plains, where little or no rain falls, where practically nothing but grass grows without irrigation. I believe the rain belt has, in those last thirty years, moved west in Kansas and Nebraska some one or two hundred milts, and that thero are now many pro- ductive farms where even so recently it was thought useless to try to raise crops. But the rain belt has yet plenty of room to go west in. There is water in the South Platte, aud at times good deal of it-a broad, shallow river with low banks. running through fat and level country, flat and levcl for miles and miles, with here and there an irri- gated spot and with some great irrigat- ing ditches dug by companies that havo spent lots of money in the workout the country is mostly given up to stock raising, and the stock stays out all win ter. The grass cures on the ground, and the cattle eat it tho year round, for it is seldom all covered with snow. The cattle go to tho river or to other streams or wet places for water. They wear trails across tho plains in their marches, and many paths are worn to and from the telegraph poles along the railroads, which the cattle march to to scratch themselves on. Sometimes for miles the lower parts of tho telegraph poles are worn as smooth as though they had been sandpapered, by the scratching of the cattle. e.-[New York Sun.

Kissing in Sweden.

The most surprising freedom prevails among the lower classes, and, for that matter, it is openly hinted at Carlstead among the aristocracy as we'll, promis- cuous kissing being indulged in upon every occasion, moro especially at ho- tels, where it is expected that upon set ting one's bill, the chambermald and waitress who attended the traveller must be both kissed before the entire company. This peculiar custom was particularly trying to my companion, who upon every occasion chose rather to incur the displeasure of the young ladies than to sanction practice that certainly can lead to no good result.- [Boston Bulletin.

Origin of Artesian Wells.

The sedimentary rocks, in their great thickness, inclose succession of water levels occupying distinct stages, and ex. tending, with uniform characters, under whole countries, like the strata to which they are subordinated. It Is proper to remark here that by the term water sheet is not meant real bed of water, lodged in cavity, between solid masses that serve as walls to it, but water fill ing the minute interstices or tho cracks of rock. Continuous and regular in sand, these sheets are usually discon- tinuous and irregular in limestones and sandstones, in which the water only oc- cupies more or less spacious Assures. When natural issues are wanting, hu- man industry is ablo, by boring, to make openings down to the subterranean waters, which it causes to jet up to the sur face, and sometimes to considera- ble height above. The thought of un- dertaking such works is very ancient ono. Tho Egyptians had recourse to them forty centuries ago; and they were executed in France, in 1126, at Artois, whence the name of artesian wells has been given to them.
 The water levels of the cretaceou strata, from which the French artesian waters issue, are not always of advan- tage; but in the north of France and in Belgium thoy constitute the most formidable obstacle which miners have to encounter in reaching the coal-beds.
 A striking confirmation of the theory of the source of supply of tho artesian waters has been observed at Tours, where the water, spouting with great velocity from q we'll hundred and ten metres in depth, brings up, together with fine sand, fresl- water shells and seeds, in such state of preservation as to show that they could not have beon more than three or four months on their voyage. Some of the wells of the wady Rir have also ejected fresh-water mollusks, fish and crabs, still living, which must, ther ofore, have made a still more rapid transit. Popular Sci ence Monthly. .r

In tho United States senate 8 system of electric bells is used to announce roll calls, executive sessions, etc. Every room in the senate wing has one of these bells, and the buttons by which they are rung are at the left of Presi- dent Ingalls, chair, in the corner where Captain Bassett, tho assistant sergeant at-arms, sits, aad he is the only person intrusted with the responsibility of touching the signal buttons. The sched- ule is as follows: One ring, yeas and nays; two, call of the senate; three, executive session, and four, adjourn ment. In the corridors on the gallery floor there are bells at each door which arc used to announce the ad journment of an executive session. One ring means that the d COTS must be opened, and the moment the doorkeepers hear it they fly to their posts. Up to within few years ago hand-clapping was resorted to in making the announcement that the executive session had adjourned. The New York Sua relates how few days ago, when Captain Bassett in- tended to give the signal that the doors were to be opened, all the bells except the one in the press gallery failed to ring. and for several moments the senators transacted business with nc spectators except the correspondents. The mistake was soon discovered, and messengers were sent to order tho doom to b opened.

The Little Prince and the Gren nadiers,

An old soldier contributes to the 'Potsdam (Getmany) Zeitung' this story: 'One morning in May, 1859, I, then serving ia the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, was marching with my comrades along the roai between Suns S;uci and the Orangegebaude toward tho village of Eiche. We had just ar rived at tho broad avenue which leads from the new palace into the road when the crown prince and his family ap- pcared in sight; little Prince Wilhelm in panier on donkey led by nurse, the crown prince and princess arm in arm about twenty yards behind him. When the crown prince perceived us, he called out Liebanau, let your company halt moment.' Then he stepped up to the donkey, lifted the little prince out of his panier and came toward us. Good morning, kinder,' said the crown prince to us, and we shouted back in unison: Good morning, your royal highness.' I Iwant just to show you my little son. and he madc the little prince shake hands with his tiny fist with every grenadier. The crown princess stood by smiling, watching the scene. When we had all been shaken hands with the crown prince again wished us Go cd morning. and contin- ued his walk; we went on in capital spirits to our field duties. Second Lieutenant Won Liebanau, who was then n command of our company, is now we'll known as court mberlaiu to Prince Wilhelm. Only man, who in his soldier days had been an actor in a scene like that, can feel how bond is formed thereby between prince and people which nothing but death can break"

A celebrated Paris scientist, Dr. De launay, has made the remarkable dis covery that centrifugal movements are characteristic of intelligence and higher development, while centripetal are a mark of incomplete evolution. In other words, the person who naturally draws acircle, for example, from left to right possesses a higher grade of intelligence than one who draws from right to left.
