the base of Mount Tacoma whose foliage
is SO far above the ground that it is impos-
sible to tell to what family they belong
except by the bark. Very few people
know or dream of the immensity of our

TO EDUCATE PARENTS.
Society to Fit the Heads of Families for the Management of Their Young.

A Society to Fit the Heads of Families
 for the Management of Their Young.
 The draft prospectus of the Parents' National Educational Union now lies before us. On the Council are the names of five bishops and their wives, the customary list of benevolent peers and peeresses, and not a few genuine teachers and educators besides. The prospectus sets forth that while all other bodies of workers, whether of hand or brain, enjoy the help and profit of association, yet parents, with the re- sponsibility of the worlds future rest ing upon them, are left to do their work, each pair by themselves, rarely getting so much as word of sympathy, counsel or encouragement. There are no colleges, associations, classes, lec- lures for parents, or those of an age to become parents. There is no literature for parents, mo register of psychological or physical discoveries ill child nature, no record of successful treatment of naughty children, not even @ standard of beautiful child life Creduced to words, that is) which the parents can work toward.
 The P. N. E. U. va changer tout cela. There are to be mothers meet ings, mixed parents meetings, govern esses' meetings, and nursery-maids' meetings. There is to be a house of education for ladies intending to be- come mothers. Last, but not least, there is to be an issue of P. N. E. U. tracts, and the union is to run two or gans of its own, high-class magazine "for cultivated parents" and the Parents' Friend, presumably for uncul- tivated parents.
 Such, in brief, is the scheme of the new society, and the welcome that it has found in many quarters proves that it does at least attempt to meet cer- tain want.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Stitched With Ants Jaws.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have very powerful jaws, considering the size of their bodies, and therefore their method of fighting is by biting. 2 They will bite one another and hold on with wonderful grip of the jaws, even after all their legs have been bit ten off by other ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will be clinging with a death grip to one another, making a peculiar spectacle, some with leg gone and some with half the body gone.
 One singular fact is that the grip of an ants jaw is retained even after the body has been bitten off and nothing but the head remains. This knowledge is possessed by a certain tribe of Indi- ans in Brazil, South America, who put the ants to very peculiar use.
 When an Indian gets gash cut in his hand, instead of having the flesh sewed together as the physicians do in this country, he procures five or six large black ants, and, holding their heads near the gash, they bring their jaws together ill biting the flesh, and thus pull the two sides of the gash to- gether.
 Then the Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants and leaves their heads clinging to the flesh, which is held together until the gash is perfectly healed.-New York Journal.

A Lottery for a Wife.

Two brothers, William o. and Syd- ney c. King, living at Newport, Minn., were discussing an advertise ment for wife, and Sydney offered to bet $500 against Williams farm that the latter would not choose a wife by lottery scheme that he proposed. The offer was accepted and provides that William is to make hundred tickets numbered from l to 100, which are to be put in envelopes and one given to each lady wishing husband, regardless of her age or nationality. A certain day is announced for the drawing and public notice is to be given of the place where it is to take place. William must marry the lady holding the corresponding number to the one that he draws or lose his bet.

Jay Cooke is Rich Again.

A man was at the Riggs House yes terday who did not attract the atten- tion in Washington which he received during the war. He wrote in four ishing Hancockian style the name clay Cooke' on the register with as much pains as if he were signing a check for million. He was there on business connected with the Harrisburg & Gettysburg Railroad, which is to be extended into Washington. He is growing very gray and wears soft, wide-brimmed hat, but his erect form and martial bearing do not indicate that he is seventy years old. He is again rich man, although his failure in 1873 made panic in the money market. During the war he nego- tiated loans of millions for the Gov ernment, and was counted one of the greatest financiers of the world.

A Desperate Debtor.

During the war of 1872, many banks outside of New England suspended specie payments, and the people were forced to use irredeemable bank bills as money.
 At the close of the war 8 national bank was created upon sound basis, which caused the s'irredeemable rags" to disappear. Among the anecdotes of the time was this:
 A man carried to bank in Penn sylvania, some bills which it had issued and demanded gold and silver for them. The cashier replied that the bank did not pay gold and silver.
 "Give me, then," said he, ssbills of the United States Bank"
 "We have none."
 "Then give me bills on any bank in New England"
 "We have none of them."
 The man growing desperate, ex- claimed:
 "Pay me, then, in the best counter felt bills you ave."-Youth's Com panion.

Seasoning That Vultures Dislike.

A physician who was in the Mexican war is authority for a very curious statement. The Mexicans devour large amounts of red pepper, eating it at all times and places, as their brethren in cooler climes enjoy sweetmeats. He states that after battle the wherea- bouts of dead American soldiers could be detected by the vultures, which would not touch the highly seasoned bodies of the dead greasers. From what the naturalists say about these charming birds oue would not tbink they were at all epicurean in taste, but of course they must draw the line somewhere, and perhaps it is on meal seasoned with pepper but lacking in salt, which has always been the sym bol of hospitality.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A Grateful Bird,

A curious incident that occurred re- gently on one of the bridges crossing the River Limmat, which flows through the city of Zurich, illustrates sagacity of the gulls, or terms, which frequent the Swiss lakes.
 A gentleman was in the habit of feeding the birds with the refuse of meat, of which they are very fond, and one day, as they clustered eagerly about his head, his hat was accidentally knocked off, and fell into the river.
 The lookers-on laughed at the mis- hap, and a boat was about putting out into the stream to secure the lost article, when, to the surprise of every one, a gull was observed to dart down upon the floating hat.
 After several intellectual attemps, it succeeded in rising with the hat in it's beak. It flew straight toward the bridge, and dropped the well-soaked hat at its owner feet, amid the enthu- siastic applause of the bystanders.
 Those who believe that animals have the faculty of reasoning will find their faith strengthened by this anecdote. Instinct could never have led gull to retrieve a benefactor's lost hat.

Barnum on Humbug.

About thirty years ago P. T. Bar mum undertook to deliver lecture at Oxford, England, before an audience composed chiefly of undergraduates. The subject was "Humbug," and the citizens were so unruly that Mir. Bar mum was unable to obtain hearing. At length there was Hull, and the speaker, seizing the opportunity, shouted aloud: "Then you don't want to hear anything about humbug?" ssWe don't!' was the immediate re- ply. MT. Barnum gazed steadily at his audience for a minute, and then remarked: "Well, I have got your money, and there is no humbug about that!" This statement was received with great applause, and MT. Barnum was allowed to deliver his lecture with out further interruption.

An Eccentric French Duchess.

The Duchesse d'Uzes is model lady. Returning from her recent trip to England she brought over a collec- ton of Music Hall songs and is train- ing an original Christy minstrel corps of her own to execute them. More, she owns vast estates, and is planning horse races, where farmers daughters will compete for substantial prizes. She states that the physical education of French women is totally behind that of every other nation. She has founded lawn tennis clubs, supplying the nets, bats, &c.,, herself, and paying an English professor to give the neces- sary instruction; her daughters, all princesses, take part in the exercises. The rowing clubs she organized for her tenants daughters are successful. In all these out-of-door amusements the Duchess, her family and her friends, beg to be considered as simple members of common body.
