AauatIc Cows.

It is a familiar fact that cows go into
the water in hot days for GOODNESS and
to escape the annoyance of flies. They
will al wade into deep water to feed
upon the grasses growing in bogs; but it
is not so common to find them in the
habit of swimming as they are reported
to have done at Fort William, on the
Kaministiquia River, north of Lake
Superior. Perhaps the present genera
ton of cows do not, for the book from
which we quote was published 40 years
ago:
"As the pasturage on the other side
of the river is much better than about
the fort, the cows swim across regularly
every morning and back in the evening,
a distance of more than 300 yards. /
was much surprised, the morning after
our arrival, when the cattle were let out
of the yard, to see a COW walk down and
take to the water of her own accord, the
whole drove following her, swimming
with only their noses, horns, and tails
showing above water.
"The development of habit so un-
usual / could account for only by sup
posing it to be an ancient custom, es-
tablished with difficulty at first, on the
strong compulsion of necessity, and sub
sequently yielded to from force of ex-
ample by the cows that successfully en-
tered the herd.

The fact that ia a single cigar Is con-
tained sufficient nicotine to kill two
strong men is not so terrifying when 1t
is remembered that the other substances
which go TO make it up have neutral
izing effect, though the school boys ex-
periences after his first pipe show the
unaccustomed doses, whether large or
small 1t is no argument in its favor TO
say that strong men, clever men-aye,
great men--have smoked and Owned no
i'll effects from it. Those strong men
might have been stronger; those great
men greater. 1t is not rational to argue.
as the President OF TIE United States did
when certain officers of the Army COM
planned to him that General Grant was
an immoderate drinker of whisky, and
he replied, "Let me know where Grant
gets his whisky, that l may send bar
relful to every general in the Army. A
Bismarck may smoke, but no amount of
smoking will create Bismarck; rather
will il. i'm nine cases out of ten, destroy
the embryo chancellor or statesman.
Neither are the facts that wounded sol
diers ON the battle field cry out for to-
bacco, that the Indians gofor days with
out food, substituting only the stimulus
of the pipe, that lunatics are allowed to
smoke to allay the frenzy of their dis
eased brains, and that by putting at big
cigar the white man preserves himself IN
tropical climates from insect pests
Though he destroys the insects), any
proof that tobacco is the health elixir
some people would have us to believe 1t
to be; abnormal suffering, whether OF
mind or body, requires narcotic, un-
wonted situations demand unaccustomed
habits The chief harm of tobacco lies
in the fact that the nicotic poison acts by
a system of accumulation; its toxic in
Auences are not transitory as those OF al
rohol Moderate quantities habitually
taken result in chronic nicotism of the
system. The process somewhat re-
sembles that of tanning; it is slow, but
permanent. Cannibals are said to turn
up their noses at the nicotized flesh of
smokers. Il National Review.

The marriage customs in some parts Of
Brittany are very curious. In Cornou-
allie, for instance, the village tailor is
the important parsonage to whom the
candidate for matrimony applies for a
list of eligible girls. Having selected
one, the tailor at once proceeds to the
maiden's father, carrying a wand of
broom-which gives him the title of Baz-
valan, the name of the plant. While
the family chiefs are making their ar
rangements the lovers retire to the other
end of the house and discourse their own
sweet music. 1t is necessary that the
engaged pair themselves should put an
end to the term of the negotiation. They
approach, holding each other by the
hand, to the table where their respective
parents or relatives are seated, when
bread, wine, and brandy are brought in.
The young man and the maiden eat with
the same knife and drink out of the same
cup; and the day for union is then agreed

One of the stories now going the
rounds tells of Bismarck's clever ruse to
save friend from death It seems that
Bismarck and this friend were out hunt
ing one day and this friend incautiously
walked off into morass from which he
could not extricate himself Feeling
himself gra ually sinking, the unfortu-
nate fellow called out to Bismarck: For
Gods sake, come to my help, or l shall
be lost in the quicksand Bismarck saw
that the danger was great, but he re-
tanned his presence of mind. mo, !"
cried Bismarck II will not venture into
the morass, for then / should be lost, too.
1t is evident that your end is inevit-
able; therefore, to save you from the
cruel agony of slow death l will shoot
you
Thereupon Bismarck coolly leveled his
rifle at his found, ring friend
Keep quiet, cried Bismarck; II can
not take correct aim. Remember that in
ord + to put you at once out of misery
must shoot YOU through the head!"
I e shocking brutality of this sugges-
tion drove all fear Of the morass out of
the friends mind; the unlucky chap
thought only of lodging Bismarck's bull
ct, and with this in mind he struggled
% violently that finally, by almost super
human efforts, he succeeded in laying
old Of the root of an old tree and
thereby he rescued himself.
" 1t was your presence of mind that
saved me, he confessed to Bismarck;
