The Zoophilist, an English paper devoted
to the protection of animals from cruelty,
tells some stories, which are apparently we'll
authenticated, illustrating the keenness of the
sense ofrecognition in dogs. The late Mr..
Eyre, clergyman, left dog which was
very much attached to him, at the country
house of friend while he left England for u
long sojourn abroad. After two years Mr..
Eyre returned, arriving at his friends house
late at night, and retiring without having the
dog called.
the dog bursting into his bedroom, and leap
ing upon him with the widest demonstra-
tions of delight.
"How on earth did he know had arryedP"
asked the gentleman of the servant who
brought hot water

curious thingl AS was cleaning your boots
the dog recognized them, and became excited
beyond measure, and l have not been able to
quiet him till he saw where was carrying
them, and rushed up along with me to your
door"
A correspondent of the same English paper
relates that he gave away, at a year old, u
dog which he was unable to keep in his Lon
don home. After eight years the dog was re-
turned to its first owner.

moment she attached herself to me as if she

A FLOATING PARADOX.
Something That VIII Interest Science
Loving Boys.

Take Il sewing and with n pair OF
fDrceps, or bent wire, or any tool that is
not clumsy, lay IL on the surface of water.
Take care that il does not get pr, ssed under
the water, aud it will float. 1t is a solid har
of steel, with no air inside it as an ironclad
has and yet it floats. Why?
The metal is not wetled by the liquid, and
it forms beneath it and ut its sides small
depression the size of which is considerable
compared to the size of the floating body.
The volume of liquid displaced both by the
body and by the capillary effect is in fact of
greater weight or the same weight as the
floating body, md SO holds it up.
There is another and a surer way of per-
forming this startling experiment, which is
n favorite one among those fond of paradoxes.
o. tho surface of the water is laid a thin
piece of unsized tissue paper, on which is put
the needle. In few moments the paper is
saturated and falls to the bottom, leaving the
needle floating alone.
In this way steel needles can easily be
floated on still water, and if the needles are
magnetized they will point north and south,
and act as compasses. With care this use of
the thin paper can be so extended that three
cents can be floated, an experiment almost as
startling rs that in which heavy bodies are
such as are used by gem merchants and
physicists.
We know of lucky finder of topazes who
fancied he had suddenly gone out of his mind
when he saw the dealer take the stones,
which he knew would sink in water, and
drop them into what looked like water, and
yet they came close TO the top and floated
The topazes seemed suddenly to be trans
formed into corks

A Trained Goat.

A traveller in the Holy Land, says Mr..
Holder, was one day stopped on the road by
an Arab who said he wanted to show him
how his trained goat performed The tray
eler, nothing lbath at being entertained
where such novelty was hardly to he ex-
peCted, expressed his willingness and the per-
ioImanCe commenced.
The Arab dismOunted from his miserable
donkey, spread small carpet upon the
ground and called up demure looking goat
that had been following behind. From q
bag the man first took number of blocks,
six inches long. cylindrical in shape and two
inches across the top and placed four upon
the carpet at small distance apart. The
goat Immediately stepped upon them, careful
" putting foot upon each block. Now tue
Arab placed in his mouth a small reed must
cal instrument and began to drone n mono.
tonous mir that was evidently appreciated by
the goat, ms it prcked up its Ears and assun-
ed a position of deep attention.
Without stopping his music the Arab then
lifted one Of the gnNis fOrefeet and slipped
under it ano,h,r CylIoder, and repeated the
operation under all its hoots. In this way
the goat was gradually lifted until finally the
pillars of wood were four feet fIOm the
ground, the patient animal preserving its
balance perfectly and appearing rs if standing
on stilts. That the music, if it could be call
ed music was All important factor in this
performance was very evident, for the mo-
ment it ceased the CONT began to waver and
trrmbe but upon the strains being revived
the animal seemed to acquire fresh conf
dence. When the music entirely ceased 1t
toppled over and fell to the ground.
The next trick, if we mny 81 term it, was
to build up the columns in an uneven man.
ner go that finally they were removed from
under the foreieet, the animal standing upon
its hind legs on the pillars, three feet in
height.

On Wrinkles.

Aphyscan says that lie has recently been
making a study of wrinkles. Continues the
doctor; at is customary to say that wrink.
les come from worrying, but the truth is that
most of them come from laughing. This is
rather paradoxical, must admit, but l have
only been convinced after the most careful
investigation. To know how to laugh is
just rs important as to know when to do it. If
you laugh with the sides ofyour face, the skin
will work loose in time, and wrinkles will
form in exact accordance with what kind of
laugh you have. The man who always wears
II smirk will have series of semcIrcular
wrinkles covering his checks. When n gam
bier, W no has been accustomed to SUPPRESS
ing his feelings, laughs, II deep line forms ON
each side of his nose and runs to the upper cor
ner of his mouth. In time this line extends 10
the chin and assumes the shape of half
moon. A Caduverous person with u wax-like
skin is very apt to have two broadly marked
wrinkl,s, one running up from the jaw, and
the other under the eye. These meet at right
angles mt the cheek-bone and look as though
they formed knot at the apex. The scholars
wrinkles form on his brow, while the schem-
ing politicians come round his eyes, where
they look for all the world like the spokes of
wheel. Some of the people who bet on
races have the most astonishing crop of
wrinkles | ever saw on an elephant"

LILACs-A VISION OF SPRING.

I've seen the pussy-willows
With dainty furry faces
I've found the pretty vioets
Abloom in shady places:
The jonquil and the crocus
Have told me OF the spring,
And in the orchard up and down
Has glanced the bluebirds wing.
But here's the purple lilac
That lifts its fragrant plumes,
And sends a watt OF sweetness
Through homely cottage rooms,
Its hardy branches tapping
Against the farm house caves,
The flowers II gives us growing
In generous waving sheaves.
I'm sure the mother robin
Is very glad to see
The lilacs' screen about her
Wee nest and tledginRs three,
And father wren is singing
In pure delight to-day
That spring is here already
And summer on the way.
And am glad our Father
Whose love is over all,
Who counts the stars by number,
And sees sparrow fall,
Has sent again the liacs
TO make the garden fair.
And watt their hOneyed sweetness
Upon the wandering air.
