An INTELLIGENT Horse,

That horse can think and reason has been
more than once fully proven, says Golden
Days, which relates this incident in support
OF the assertion. One day in Chicago, re-
Gently, big fine looking horse attached to a
grocers wagon fell down in the middle of a
slippery pavement The driver did not jump
down and belabor the animal with club, as
most drivers would have done. He ahghted
from the wagon and quickly loosened the
harness upon his horse. Then he took from
the wagon lap robe and spread it upon the
slippery pavement near the fallen horses
feet. The intelligent animal did not mistake
the mute suggestion. He eyed the robe for a
moment and then he edged around until his
feet were planted on it. Then, with an eff
fort, he rose to an upright position and then
lifted his feet while the driver picked up the
robe. Then the driver readjusted the har-
ness, mounted his seat on the box and drove
on. Is it not evident that the horse reasoned
that he could not slip on the robei

In Colombia there is river so exceedingly
sour to the taste that it has been very appro-
priately termed the Rio de Ninagre, or Vim
egar river. The bitterness of the water is
caused by an adniXture of sulphurc acid
Many varieties of fish abound in the large
Orange river Of South Africa, until the river
passes through a rocky region containing
copper ores, below which the water is said to
be poisonous and to kill the fish that venture
INTO it. Chinas Sorrow is the name that has
been given to the great Hoang Ho, which
rises III the mountains of Thibet and follows
! wonderfully circuitous channel for $500
niles to the sea. The waywardness of this
mighty volume of water makes the river
source Of constant anxiety and danger to
over 100000 of people inhabiting the CEN
trail plain of China 1t Is known to have cd
denly changed its course nine times, each
time emptying its floods in a different dmec-
ion, and sweeping towns and villages away
in its irresistible onrush. 1t has completely
changed the physical character of a wide
area, turning fertile tracts of country into
sandy waste on which nothing will grow, or
else making shallow lakes on which nothing
will sail.

Those who are fond of drawing will find
the game of Positions pleasant pastime
for long evenings Any number can play the
game-the more the merrier All the play
ers seat themselves round a table, and each
one must be supplied with small pieces Of
white paper and q pencil. All the players
except one then silently think on some posi-
ton in life which it is possible for them to
fill, and each makes some sign of their "posi
ton" by sketching a little picture of some
article connected with their proposed trade
or business on their blank piece of paper. The
name of each sketcher should be written on
their paper. Five minutes are allowed for
the sketching, the time being kept by the
player who has not selected a position"
All the illustrated papers are then sent
round the table, so that each may see tho
others pictures, but no one criticises them
all. Lastly, they are handed to the "guesser,"
the player who has taken no part except keep
ing the time, who ranges them on the table.
The ''guesser" then looks at the pictures and
proceeds to guess the intended position Of
each artist. If she fail to guess any of tho
positions" the first at whom she stops is
chosen guesser for the next time; if there has
been no failure, the player on the right hand
of the guesser takes the privilege. The prin-
cipal object Of this game is for each player to
try who can make the best sketch in five min
utes, and the next object is to puzzle the
guesser.
The game Of "Names" is played in SINH
lar manner to that of Positions the play
ers being all seated round table, and being
provided with paper and pencils. The time
five minutes-must likewise be kept by one
of the party One commences by calling out,
"Girls' names commencing with A." then
each player writes down all the girls names
that she can recollect beginning with A dur
| ing the five minutes allowed. At the expira-
ton of the time, the oldest player reads from
her slip all the names she has written down.
All the other players as the names are read
out, cancel any name on their lists men
toned. When the marks are allotted for tho
names, only those are given to names which
have no duplicates on any of the other lists
Then another player calls out "Names of all
rivers beginning with B" and SO on through
the alphabet, different names Of pla ces, coun-
tries, animals, ETC., being given for the va
rious letters. This game causes much amuse-
ment, owing to the difficulty often expe-
rienced in thinking even of well known
names quickly and in the five minutes al
| lowed.

Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty years ago the population of tho
United States was only 1861, 420. The CEN
sus cost the government $3.50, 427. There
were slaves in all the states except Maine,
Massachusetts,, Vermont and Michigan. Iowa
had 16 slaves, Wisconsin H. Ohio 3, Indiana
0, Illinois 33l; total in all the states and ter
ritories was 2,4sG,22S, Fifty years ago the
first railroad spike machine was put into use,
making fifty a minute, forming both point
and head. Henry Burden, of Troy, N. ",
was the inventor 1t ranked among the best
paying inventions of modern times. Fifty
years ago the Wing party held its first con-
vention at Harrisburg, Pa, nominating Gen.
William Henry Harrison, of Ohio as presi-
dent of the United States. Fifty years ago
Joseph A. Adams, for the first time, made use
of the idea now embodied in the art of elec-
trotyping by reproducing from wood cuts.
Fifty years ago the first power loom for
weaving carpets was used.-Current Litera-

VIBRATIONS OF SOUND ILLUSTRATED.
This portion OF the chimney is sealed up
tight at the broken end with wax. The other
end has a cork fitted into it and in the cork
is hole, previously bored through the center,
into which is tightly fitted the upper part of
a common wooden whistle. The whistle,
which, together with the completed instru-
ment, is here illustrated, is cut in two ut
the point indicated by the dotted line and
only the upper portion is used.
Inside the glass tube is placed a small guam
tity of very fine precipitated silica, powder
remarkable for its lightness.
Now, if the tube be held horizontally and
the whistle blown the silica powder will
spring up into a number of thin vertical
plates, forming groups separated by por-
tions of powder that remain motionless
To show that the vibrations of the air
alone, and not those of either whistle or glass,
produce the sound, hold the two solid bodies
firmly with the hands to prevent their vi
bratlng, then blow again, and the sound and
the movement of the silica, which is its visible
expression, will remain the same.

A correspondent of Glasgow journal tells
of curious discovery made by himself and a
friend while ascending the Kenmore noun
tain: eve found the cone well powdered
with snow, which got deeper and iirmer as
we assembled, and when we had reached
within, say, 800 or 600 feet of the top we
came upon a solitary fly, quite dead, but
which had evidently been very recently in
the full enjoyment of life and health. a few
feet farther on we found five or six more,
some alive and some dead; but higher still
and within very short distance of the top,
we were surprised to find hundreds, all alive
and apparently enjoying themselves, though
few of them seemed able to use their wings.
At this elevation the ground was pretty
deeply covered with snow and all the rocks
thckly crusted with ice, and we noticed that
it was particularly where the ice was thick
est that the insects were most numerous. On
the south side of the mountain, where we de-
scended, we saw none of our little friends
am not naturalist, and Kenmore may per-
haps be the ordinary winter resort of the fly,
but it appears curious that an insect which is
so generally associated with the idea Of
warmth should be found in such numbers in
winter at an elevation of j, 500 feet above sea
level -

SOUND BUSINESS MAxlMs.


Action is really the life of business
Use every means to hold on to your home
trade.
Great bargains can only be secured in any
market by being on the spot.
Always keep your designs and business
from the knowledge Of others,
Be courageous; drop your best friend if he
shows lack Of honesty and integrity.
1t is easy to sell goods if they are well
suited to Your trade and bought right
Avoid litigation as much possible, for
lawyers and costs eat up the principal.
Prefer small profits and certain returns to
large profits and uncertain settlements.
The man who borrows money and then
borrows trouble is in sheol sure enough.
Have the courage to discharge a debt
while you have the money in your pocket
Difficulties, like thieves, often disappear at
a glance; therefore, always face a difficulty.
In buying study carefully the wants of
your trade, and buy with that end always in
view.
Puuctualty In business and money mat
ters leads to prosperity and confidence and
the basis of credit.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil, and
obliging to all your customers, and see that
your clerks do likewise.
Misrepresentation Of anything never pays
and when you tell your customers that your
goods are superior 10 those of your competi-
tor, when you know the same TO be false, you
are simply putting in the wedge that will
ultimately drive your trade away
Remember that the golden rule of com
mercial life il probity. Act, therefore, hon
estly, uprighuy, and conscientiously in all
matters of trade Never misrepresent, fall
sify or deceive; have one rule of moral life
and never swerve from it, whatever may be
the acts or opinions of other men--Chicago

1t is stated that, since 1855, crude cocaine
has been sent from Peru in largely increas-
ing quantities. and that its importation is
likely TO supersede that of coca leaves which
have hitherto been largely imported for man
ufacture. There are now reported TO be at
least four manufacturers in Peru, with the
chief market for their product at Hamburg
from which, curiously enough, their prod
ucts can DO had better, cheaper and in shorter
time than from Peru. Another curious cir
cumstance connected with this young indus
try is that one of the largest and most sue
cessful makers is by trade, and was by occu-
patton, bricklayer when DR.. Squibb's pro-
cesses were published, and simply took them
up as better and more promising trade for
making money. The advantages of export
ing the crude alkaloid rather than the coca
leaves are many and important, As cocaine
is transported in the treasure chests OF the
steamers, the difference in freight is about as
one-half pound to 100 pounds of the leaves

AL AROUND TIE HOUSE.


Now notions in mantel borders are strips
of plush embroidered and supplied with
drawing strings across the depth at inter-
vals so that they can be fcstooned and ono
end allowed 10 droop
Another novelty is spider web embroidery,
en- foundation of cloth or felt; the gold spi-
der webs are embroidered in one corner and
the rest of the design is formed with flowers
cut out, and satin of the natural color placed
beneath and then embroidered.
The new chair backs are admirable for
using up odds and ends Of plush, brocade,
etc. There are two pieces, long and narrow,
looking like unstutfed cushions, connected by
two smart, upright bows. The pieces fall
over the front and back of the chair, and tho
bows stand up on the top Of it. The average
size is - inches long and Z inches wide; but
these dimensions are, of course, optional.

Stanley's Last Trim.

Henry NJ. Stanley started on his last expo
dition early in 1856. He was then in Amer
lea giving course of lectures, when an as
ISOLATION was formed in England with Sir
William Mackinnon at its head, the object of
which was to rescue Emin Bey from a peril
Gus position. This philanthropist and states
man was lost sight of after the fall of khar-
toum and his life was despaired of, las after Gen.
Gordon, the governor general of the Soudan,
was killed, Emin was the object of intense
hate to the Mohammedans. The call for duty
as leader of the expedition reached him while
in the midst Of a lecture tour, and was lnme-
diately accepted, all other engagements being
Cancelled at once. The king of the Belgians,
the khedive Of Egypt and the English pro-
moters of the expedition all agreed that Stan
ley was the best person for the journey. On
June rs, 1856, Stanley started up the Congo
with 315 Indians and three English officers,
and in three years Travelled over 5000 miles
of swamp, impenetrable tropical forest,
through deadly malarial regions and inces-
SAINT rains, finding Emin Bey at Lake Albert
Nyanza.

Five O'Clock Tea Cloths, Etc.

Plain, very fine dam1k ones, fringed, with
a large embroidered monogram in one cor.
ner, are much liked; or fine linen, trimmed
with borders and insertion of lace, cut work,
or drawn or Holbcin work. are all favortes.
The fashion certainly runs in favor Of fairly
substantial cloths, which can evidently be
washed
Doiies, to be embroidered with a mono
gram, are of pure white China silk, linen or
muslin. The size of each dolly is about six
to eight inches square. They are fringed at
the edge or bordered with lace or gold lace,
the monogram or crest in the center Many,
beside the fringed edge, have lines in drawn
thread work round. The monogram must
be drawn, and then embroidered either in
gold thread that will not tarnish or in wash
ing silk or flax thread.
a favorite kind Of tea coy is of white
satin worked all over with network of yell
low silk, and some are made of old point lace
over "a color. Felt is sometimes used, but it
is not so smart Plush is another favorite
material
