pelIghts of Tobogganlnr.

You sit astride your toboggan, and
when 1t begins to rush down the descent
along a road as hard as iron, with the
speed of light, your first feeling is that
you would give everything you have in
the world to BIO anywhere but where you
are. There is, however, wonderful
fascination about rushing through the
crisp, sharp air, taking corners cleverly
by means OF guiding pegs, and sailing
down triumphantly on to the broad
bosom Of the lake. So many accidents
had, however, taken place upon the lake
run that we of the awkward squad were
disposed to give 1t q wide berth. A snow
storm altered, however, the complexion
of affairs.
Two or three inches of snow ON the
hard, slippery track made the pace less
rapid; and If, blinded by the snow and
the monotonous whiteness above, below
and around, you ran off the course,
as / did, you and your sledge simply
rolled over half dozen times In the soft
snow without the inconvenience of
broken bones, much less Of broken
neck. / cannot close this letter without
abiding to the effect of this glorious
out-of-doors life upon the nerves. ! am
fully persuaded that all the bromides in
the world are incomparably inferior to a
good draught OF Engadine air..-Cor.

From the fact of Christ's betrayal by
Judas the latter is supposed to have been
the original Of the unlucky thirteenth
who brings disaster upon a feast. This
superstition is very general, and SO strong
has it been in France in particular that in
Paris there existed years ago, and may
very possibly now, class of professional
diners out called Quatorziemes, whose
business it was to be always prepared
with dress suit handy for summons to
take the place of some recreant guests,
and thus prevent an assemblage of the
unlucky thirteen. In regard to the or
ganization of Thirteen Clubs" it may be
observed that this superstition has never
been considered hold good except where
the number thirteen has occurred acci-
dentally. The absurdity, therefore, Of
the formation of special clubs to meet on
the 18th, to dine at IS tables or to do any
thing else with IS in it, becomes at once
obvious. Such institutions do not fill the
bill.-New York Herald.

Quick witted Birds,

Some birds are gifted with sense Of
observation approaching to something
very like reasoning faculties, as the fol-
lowing anecdote proves: At gentle
mans house in Staffordshire the pleas
ants are fed out Of one of those boxes
the lid OF which rises with the pressure
of the pheasant standing on the rail in
front Of the box. A water hen, observ-
ing this, went and stood upon the rail as
soon as the pheasant had quilted it; but
the weight Of the bird being insufficient
to raise the lid Of the box, 80 as to enable
1t to get at the corn, the water hen kept
Jumping ON tho rail to give additional
impetus to its weight. This partially
succeeded, but not to the satisfaction of
the sagacious bird, which, therefore,
went off; and, soon returning with a
bird of its own species, the united weight
OF the two had the desired effect, and
the successful pair enjoyed the benefit of
their ingenuity Month.

One of the most effective is Of white
silk, with tiny mauve dots on 1t. It
reaches to the ground and is beautifully
hemstitched; the collar is broad one
cut in sailor fashion and thrown back
far enough to expose theneck very well.
The sleeves are full and have deep cuffs,
and on the left side is pocket in which
is stuck white silk handkerchief with
a monogram in mauve on 1t. The cuffs
are of mauve silk caught with white
sleeve links, and the collar is also of the
colored silk. A soft white silk tie is
knotted IN front In sailor fashion. The
haberdasher announces that this is per-
fumed so thoroughly with violet that
even two or three visits to the cleaners
will not dispel the odor. A more femi-
nine looking robe dc mutt is of pale rose
silk, with it's collar and cuffs edged with
lace, and cravat of lawn and lace, such
as the gentlemen of the court of Louis
Quatorze wore. The height of folly, or
harmony, as you may choose TO call 1t,
was reached by a-a--a something--I
should hate to call 1t man--who
mourned deeply, in material sense, for
an uncle who left him pile of money.
His sleeping robes were of white silk,
with cuffs, collar and pocket of black
Grape, while black bordered handker-
chief was the other adjunct. -New York

The celebrated German remedy for
burns consists Of 15 ounces Of the best
white glue broken into small pieces in
pints of water and allowed to become
soft. Then dissolve 1t by means of a
water bath and add ounces Of glycerine
and drachms of carbolic acid; continue
the heat until thorously dissolved. On
cooling this hardens to ar elastic mass
covered with shining, parchment like
skin, and may be kept for any length Of
time. When required for use it is placed
for few minutes In water bath until
sufficiently liquid and applied by means
of broad brush. 1t forms in about two
minutes shining, smooth, flexible and
nearly transparent skin. New Orleans

Dir. E. II. Strykie of Australia, while
at the Leland hotel, said the people Of
that continent are in need of metal fur
niture. He has been to England to Sc
cure school desks and seats of light metal
which will be durable and cheap, but
neither in England nor in America has he
been able to get what he wants. He says
the pest Of Queensland is the white ant,
against the ravages of which sheet iron
roofing and tin covered chairs are the
only protection thus far devised. The
ants eat wood of every description, Dor.
ing the doors and house rafters until
they are honeycombed, tables, bedsteads
and bureaus suffering similarly. Mr..
Strykie thinks a metal furniture factory
which could supply these things at a
price permitting them to be shipped
long distances would have q large trade
on the Australian continent. Chicago

In small city in western Wisconsin
there is small boy who lives with his
parents. One day not long ago he and
his mother were walking quietly down
street when the little fellow noticed a
number OF young cattle grazing along
the edge Of the sidewalk. Said he:
Mamma, wish Mr.. So-and-So would
keep his 'halfers' or tho street." His
mother, thinking to correct his pronun-
citation, said "Heifers, Paul, not
'halfers.'" The boy looked at her mo-
ment and replied: "No, mamma; think
I'm right in this matter. Amt they half
a COW and half q calfa guess they are,

peIicacy OF Pianos.

The other day saw piano that had
been returned from q city nearly 800
miles away because something ratified
In it," and the dealer, who had spent
three days in trying to find the cause of
the fficulty-fnally attributing it to a
defect in the sounding board-returned
1t. Now there was nothing wrong about
the sounding board, and the piano was
in good condition, but had been hurried
ly shipped, and screw in the swing
desk attachment was not firmly imbed-
ded. This caused the rattle.
Now 1t is just this kind Of trivial
oversight that causes more than so per
cent. of the trouble known as rafting.
remember about two months ago in a
place in Baltimore an upright piano had
to be taken back and taken apart and a
day spent over it to stop such a disturb
ance, which was caused by nothing more
than small piece of shaving about a
quarter of an inch long that got in under
the pressure bar. 1t could not be seen
and to find it cost a lot of money. --Musi-
