great damage to the throat and lungs,

1t is interesting to learn from so accom-
plished an expert in equine peculiarities as
a London omnibus driver of many years
standing that "wobbler" is horse which
puts all it's feet down at once while engaged
in drawing vehicle at the maximum rate
of six miles an hour. How, while observ-
ing this attitude, the animal contrives to adj
vance single step may be comprehensive
to persons possessing an exceptionally init
mate acquaintance with the habits and ca
pacities of the horse. For our own part we
frankly confess that the method of pro-
gression thus indicated is new to us, and
that "wobbling" steed is freak of nat
ure which we have not yet been fortunate
enough to contemplate in the flesh. Yet
the driver in question ought to know, for
he has guided this particular simultaneous
"wobbler" throughout an entire decade,
and can scarcely be mistaken in respect to
its special gifts of pace and action. Mr..
Alderman Cowan fined him five shillings
and costs for driving to the common dan
ger of the public" Scientific observation,
like virtue, is alas, too frequently its own
reward!-London Telegraph.

About thirty years ago humane Yer
monter, by the name of Tewksbury, took
pity on small dog of uncertain breed, one
of whose forelegs had been crushed by the
wheel of a wagon. Being something of a
surgeon, Mr.. Tewksbury carefully ampu.
tated the crushed leg, and when the wound
was healed provided the dog with light
and strong wooden leg
In the course of time the dog, which was
a very intelligent little animal became
aware that he could rest his weight upon
this wooden leg, and use it for all ordinary
purposes, and that, while it was not as
good as either of the other three legs, it
was better than no leg.
In walking or trotting Mr.. Tewksbury IS
dog always used his wooden leg. If, how
ever, he had occasion to do any leaping or
fast running, or to show in any way especial
nimbleness, with which the stiffness of his
artificial limb would. have interfered, he
held up the wooden leg gracefully and
leaped or ran on the other three.
The dog lived to good old age, respected
and admired by all who knew him. His
grateful affection for mankind in general
and for Mr.. Tewksbury in particular, was
the most marked feature of his character

In the manufacture of perfumes art has
improved on nature, and the perfumer
must be good chemist. Such odors as
Jockey Club, lowest End, "Millefeurs''
and host of others have no counterpart in
garden or grove. The delicate heliotrope,
for instance, is scarce and Improbable to
the perfumer. He detects in it's odor,
however, the aroma of vanilla combined
with the sharper scent of bitter almonds
Therefore he adds to a tincture of vanilla
a small quantity Of the otto of bitter al
monds and rose and orange flower essences,
and thus easily makes extracts of hello
trope.
The magnolia perfume is initiated with
out using the flower at all, which is too
large to macerate with success. Indian
lemon grass likewise gives Extract of
Verbena" With the rose as foundation,
and dash of verbena, the perfume of the
delicate and fieeting "Sweetbrier" is OBJ
tanned. Many of the spices enter into the
making of perfumes with high sounding
names.-New York Ledger.

The average Maine drummer isn't su-
perstitious man by any means, but there
are things that will startle even a Maine
drummer.
While at his home in Maine village q
representative of a Portland house was
walking up street with well known sea
captain. AS they passed the cemetery Capt.
B. looked across and remarked with much
expression:
1--WE must both go in there soon, my
boy, to stay. It's lucky don't believe in
presentiments, for feel bluer than whet-
stone today"
The next day Capt. B. lay dead. stricken
by apoplexy.
The strange coincidence impressed his
friend SO forcibly that he was completely
unnerved and he experienced genuine fear
as he thought of the captains weird
prophecy that had already been fulfilled in
part SO strangely and sadly.
II was really scared" he afterward ex-
planned to me. II am no old granny about
such things, but somehow this upset me.
That night l gloomily ate my supper,
scarcely thinking about what was doing.
Therefore probably failed to properly
chew piece of tough steak, and the NOR
sci stuck when attempted to swallow it,
My breath was stopped in an instant, and
after kicking like steer tumbled out of
my chair on the floor. don't know what
all the thoughts were that went through
my mind, but was the scaredest man in
ten counties. Thinks l, Pm going to fol-
low Cap Some one whacked me in the
back and came out of my choking fit, but
/ tell you never want to go through any
thing like that again!''-Lewiston Journal.

Industry.

Man must have occupation or be miser-
able. Toll is the price of sleep and appetite,
of health and enjoyment. The very neces-
sity which overcomes our natural sloth is
blessing. The whole world does not con-
tain brier or thorn which divine mercy
could have spared. We are happier with
the sterility which we can overcome by in
dustry than we could have been with spon-
taneous plenty and unbounded profusion.
The body and the mind are improved by
the toll that fatigues them. The toll is a
thousand times rewarded by the pleasure
which it bestows. Its enjoyments are Pc
culiar. No wealth can purchase them, no
Incidence can taste them. They flow only
from the exertions which they repay.-New

Victor Hugo's Monster No Longer Fiction.

Victor Hugo's Monster No Longer Fiction.
In 1867 very large cuttlefsh, averaging
about twenty feet in length in the body
alone, was met by French war vessel be-
tween Madeira and Tenerife. Later on
great squids were seen on the American
coast, and chiefly in the north, whittier
possibly they may have been attracted by
the prospects of suitable food in the cod
Actual measurements of some of these big
squids, which, by the way also occur off
the Irish coast now and then, give bodies
ranging from ten to twenty feet in length
exclusive of the arms, which, as regards
the two long ones at least, may be set down
at thirty feet in length
So that the realization of the geological
phantasy of the "Toilers of the Sea- has
come in very decided fashion indeed in
the shape of the Newfoundland giant cut
ties, whose powers of attack may be re-
garded as fully equal to those credited to
the big devil fish of the great French nov
elist Furthermore, it may be suggested
that huge cuttlefish rushing across the
surface of the sea, propelled backward by
its jets of water, with it's head and arms,
leaving long wash" behind, may very
aptly appear as fit representative of the
sea serpent itself. From various accounts
given of the 'great unknown" of the deep
it seems pretty certain that what was seen
was really q giant cuttlefsh swimming
swiftly through the water, it's movements,
and especially those of its arms, counter
feiting closely the motions of serpentine
form.-Fall River News.
