The Life of Vegetables.

Vegetarians, indeed, will say that the
universal adoption of their creed would
do away with all the cruelty Of the mar
ket and the kitchen. Would it? How
do they, know that it does not hurt a
potato to be boiled, or an apple to be
peeled? Animals ami fishes and fowls
are alive. they argu,; but so are vege-
tables and fruits alive. That an orange
makes no outcry when il is cut open is
no proof,that ii does not feel pain. At
any rate, in pick ug and eating it. we
deliberately sacri ice its life, and that,
too, without any necessity on our part in
doing so. But the softest hearted Of US
never feel any compunctions of con-
science on this account. New York

Fish Living ont Of Water.

Some years ago in Africa a detachment
of troops came to camp on a level stretch
of country, perfectly dry and devoid of a
suspicion of moisture. In digging up the
ground 20 arrange the tents a fish was
found as dry as a cht,-a long eel like
creature cooled in a ball ana seemingly
incased in q mud cocoon. The fish was
supposed 10 be mummified and was taken
as a curiosity and in the course Of several
weeks fell into the hands Of a naturalist,
who placed it in water. The mud slowly
dissolved and Don the fish gave a gasp,
then a ~convulsive struggle, like a sleeper
awakening, finally swimming of.
Here was a singular example OF n fish
living out Of water. 1t belonged to a
group known as lung fishes, the men,
bers Of which have a peculiar faculty Of
migrating overland and Of being able TO
exist not merely days but months out of
the water. AT certain seasons the lakes
and ponds OF some localities in the dark
continent dry up. and were il not for
some provision which enables the fishes
to bridge over this time it is evident that
many would be destroyed. Nature, how
ever, comes to the rescue, and. as the
waters dry up, the fishes either crawl
away to other streams or Immediately
descend into the earth, where they form
themselves into a round ball and lie in a
semi-desiccated condition until the water
comes the ensuing season. It is eve
said that fishes have been known to pass
two consecutive seasons in this condition.

An unpraetIcal MILITARY rashIon.

Among the curious and impractical
fashions in equipment of the soldier is this:
In the cavalry generally it may he said
that the man is possessed of two weapons
"a sword which Is most useful when he is
mounted and a carbine which is valuable
when he is on foot. Fashion has so
ordered it that the sword is attached to
his person and remains with him when
he is dismounted at the great risk of
tripping him up, whereas the lirearm is
attached to his horse, SO that if parted
from that animal. for however short a
time, he is incapable Of defending him
self, because the sword is Of little use to
him when off his steed. In an ideal
army such anomalies as this would cer-
tainly be remedied. The Fortnightly Re-
view. "

A Story OF Meissonler.

The enterprising manager Of a Paris
theatre one called upon Meissonier and
asked him TO paint a drop scene for a
certain theatre and name his own terms.
"You have seen my pictures, theni''
asked Meissonier. 'Oh, yes" exclaimed
the manager; but II isyour name-your
name I want; it will draw crowds TO my
theatre" "And how large is il you wish
this curtain to bei" inquired the artist.
"Ah, well, we will say fifteen meters by
eighteen" MISSIONER took up pencil
and proceeded 10 make a calculation. At
last he looked up and said with imper.
turbable gravity: II have calculated and
find that my pictures are valued Mt So
900 francs per meter. Your curtain,
therefore, will cost you just 2l,G0O, 900
francs. But that is not all. IL takes me
twelve months to paint twenty-five cen
timeters Of canvas 1t will, therefore,
take me just 100 years 10 finish your
curtain. You should have come 20 me
earlier, monsieur; i am too old for the
undertaking now. Good morning.

Uses of the willow.

II is an interesting fact that not only
Is the presence Of extensive growtls Of
the willow found TO be anti-malarial in
its influence. but that from a certain
pecies of this same beautiful tree, or its
bark, is derived the comparatively new
but well known antiseptic preparation
called salicine; il is of pure, bitter taste,
highly febrifugal in quality, is largely
used in various solutions, also in surgical
operations, and is the most effectual pre-
ventive of putrefaction in the system yet
known. For these purposes the willow
is now being extensively and systemat-
ically cultivated. At the end Of two
years the switches are from four to seven
feet long, and are cut and gathered into
punches like sheaves OF wheat; in the
stripping building they are stepped in
water and the bark at the larger ends
loosened for a couple Of inches by una
chinery; one by one the switches are
placed in the mechanical stripper and
with a pair Of pliers are pulled through
with a sudden jerk, being then wiped oil

How IN. Grouss "prums."

] have had some experience with the
ruled grouse. The peculiar noise made
by them while drumming is usually
made while the bird is standing upon a
log, but the log has nothing whatever TO
do with the sound produced. The bird
while drumming assumes al upright po-
sition and droops his wings until the
flight feathers almost or quite touch the
log or other perch on which he stands.
He theL, by an intense muscular effort,
makes quick, spasmodic beats with his
wings. In doing this the ends Of the
wing feathers may, and perhaps
times do touch the log; but il is the in
tense culver Of the flight feathers, as they
come in contact with the still air, in the
short and intensely rapid beats that pro-
duce the soft, yet powerful and far reach
ing sound. No impact Of a feather or

do the taxpayers of The counties of

and expensive litigation has follow
ed every attempt made to collect the
same taxes from the Atlantic &
Pacific, that are collected from PR
vate individuals, aud now because
this railroad has found in the Chief
Justice ofthe Territory man whom
its money can not buy or its inau-
ence intimidatc, it is willGully and
maliciously waging a war against
him for the ayoWed purpose OF
having him removed. The road may
