Intelligent Draft. Horses.

The horses which draw the heavy ice
wagons seldom need the guiding rein to
show them where to go. They soon learn
the route so we'll that the driver does not
touch the rein after once starting on his
daily journey. One of these teams was
observed to show unusual intelligence the
other day. Their route had been changed
considerably that day, but when the
driver wanted the wagon to cross the
street he would give sharp rattle of his
ice. tongs, and the horses would cross as
though they were reading the order fIom
telegraph instrument. A different
sounding rattle of the tongs sent them
back to the side they came from. When
the driver wanted the animals to turn =
corner and branch off on another part of
the street, he gave shrill whistle. and
according to the manner in which the
whistle sounded would he animals turn
from right to left.--Bul3ato Express.

"features" are sharp and clear, and the
counterfeit may safely be classed as one
of the most dangerous ever circulated.
It is impossible to estimate how many
are now in circulation, for they have
been coming and are still coming in. If
weighed with, say, $3.50 of genuine dol
lars it is very difficult to detect them, as
the entire weight would only be from
four to eight graius short.
Counterfeit half dollars circulate in
about the same proportion as counterfeit
dollars, but there are no counterfeit half
dollars made out of the dangerous COM
position known as the ''glass and anti
mony" mixture. Counterfeit half dollars
are generally struck from dies or made in
molds, the metals used in their manufac-
ture being, as rule, type metal, anti
mony and lead.
Counterfeit quarters circulate in about
the same proportion as counterfeit dollars
and half dollars, and there are large
number of lead dimes in circulation.
When counterteits are detected at the
Sub-Treasury they are cut in halves and
returned to those who deposited them.
A monthly statement of all counterfeits
detected in the Sub-Treasury is made out

ment at Washington for the benefit of

The Vinegar Eels.

DR.. G.. Linder discusses, according to
the Microscope, the occurrence of vinegar
''eels," which are to be found in weak
or impure vinegar. The males are one
to one and one-half milimeters long,
and the females about twice as long.
They thrive well ON a diet of egg, with
stand even tolerably strong vinegar, are
killed at once by pure acetic acid, are
very slightly perturbed by artificial di-
gestive cultures, and live well on fruits,
bulbs, etc The females reproduce vivi-
parously or by eggs according to the nu-
tritive medium and TIE temperature, but
die soon after reproduction nor are tie
males long lived. They flourish best
between sixty degrees and eighty derees,
are killed by temperature of over 107
degrees, or under the freezing point
on light and air they are very slightly
dependent, but to drought very sensitive.
After desiccation foi three or four hours
no revivification even of the eggs was
observed. The worms have great power
of adaptation to the most diverse condi-
tlons. Their natural home seems to be
in moist mud and putridity, but they are
rare in drinking or running water. That
millions of their genus float in the air is a
fable. How they get into the vinegar
is uncertain; but they probably insinuate
themselves at certain stages of its manu-
facture. In vinegar prepared from wine
by the quick process they are rare. The
"vinegar cells, adds our informant, ''aTe
not exactly dangerous, but it is at
once safe and more appetizing to
make sure either that the vinegar is of
the better sort, or, at least, boiled
and filtered"

Increase of n Nickel.

Some time ago the Ladies' Aid Socie-
ty of this city agreed to invest nickel
in some kind of article and sell it at a
profit and reinvest in something else,
and so on, to speculate on this capital
for two weeks and see how much each
one could make.
One lady on the same evening of the
meeting bought cabbage with her
nickel. She carried it home and sold
half of it to her neighbor for nickel.
She invested that in vinegar and picked
remaining halfand sold the pickle for
twenty-five cents. She then bought TWEEN
ty cents worth of cloth and spool of
thread and made it up into three aprons,
which she sold for twenty-five cents
each, and took the seventy-ive cents and
bought molasses and gave candy pull
ing to the children, making them pay
ten cents plate for the candy. The mo-
lasses made twenty-one plates of candy,
so she made $21 on one nickel in two
weeks time. How money will grow il
properly used.-Anniston (Ala.) Argus.

Moorish Tradition as to Locusts.

Referring to the plague of locusts In
Morocco, the British consul at Mogadol
quotes a tradition as to them which
was told to him by Berber fisherman.
1t runs as follows: Sin the interior Of
Sahara are people called Jeraiduja Oh
locusts owners, who have control ovel
the locusts, and they used to receive
yearly presents from the sultan of Mo
rocco and they kept the locusts back
Every year a certain monster came tc
that place and it died there, and these
people used to burn the carcass and
then all was WELL
''But if it was not burned, owing tc
the men not being in a good humor,
then it putrefied and bred millions Of
maggots, and they became locusts.
And lately some of these men came tc
the sultan and said, Have not people
been complaining of locustsP And
the sultan replied that they had
Well, said the Jeraiduja, we are the
locusts; why have you not given us oul
customary largessP"
Another version was that the locusts
came out of a certain cave or pit in the
Sahara, over which some holy people
had control The same idea of DO
tency of the intercession of holy men
has frequently been noticed in causes
assigned by Moorish fishermen for the
periodical falling off or improvement
in the supply of various important
kinds of sea fish.-Mancheste Guardian.

The Adventures of a Kite.

Here is a story which, though bearing
a flavor of Baron Munchausen about it,
is strictly true Some time last sum
mer, while at Sea Isle City, a son OF
George ,Flavell, the manufacturer, OF
Mill street. GS-sssntown, amused him
self by flying q sun kite In some way
the huge paper bird finally got away
from him and went out to sea, with
sufficient quantity of string attached to
give it resistance. Five weeks after
ward a dispatch was received from Bel
fast, Ireland, saying that three fisher
men noticed kite sailing toward them
fastened to some object in the water,
which, upon examination, proved to be
a duck which had in some manner be-
come entangled in the string while fol-
lowing the trade winds across the Allan
tic. The description of the captured
kite tallies exactly with that of the one
lost at Sea Isle City.-Philadelphia

wheat Not Always Self FertiIizinG.
May wheats cross naturally? 1t has
generally been assumed that they do not
can not. For several seasons past, says
the editor of The Rural New Yorker, as
an ample opportunity has been given for
observation, we incline more and more
to the opinion that the question may be
answered affirmatively, though not un-
til now have we been able to offer any
positive proof. The first evidence was
given by The Rural New Workers.
wheat-rye hybrids; those that were ster-
lie, or nearly so. II was observed that
the envelopes about the pistils, stamens
and ovaries gaped apart, and remained
so for hours, as if asking for something
that nature did not supply. We were
thus led to watch the flowers of pure
wheats. 1t was seen that the pallets do
open not only far enough to allow of the
egress of the anthers, but occasionally so
far as to enable one to see the feathery
stigma without further pressing the
glumes apart. 1t would seem that this
opening in pure wheats is of very short
duration. Were the stigmas of these
gaping flowers already pollinated? Were
their own anthers pollenless or impatient.
and was that the reason they CAPPED open
as in the case of the sterile rye-wheat
heads? Suppose the anthers OF ordinary
wheat heads were removed while green
and immature (as in crossing), would any
of the emasculated flowers bear kernels
To answer the question five heads were
so treated, care being taken to ascertain
that the anthers were immature. These
heads were examined one day during the
past week. 1t was found that nearly
one-half of them bore grain "a much
larger per cent. than has ever been OBJ

Winter Fuel.

A provident farmer writes: 1.-THE win
ter fuel should always be stored un
der a shed of some kind before it i,
wanted. By timely attention before reg
ular bad weather sets in, a great deal o.
what would otherwise rot and become
rubbish if left out exposed to rain anC
snow can be gathered up and cut intC
right length for stove wood This may
include old fence rails that are no longer
useful for that purpose, old boxes and
barrel slaves and the branches of trees
that have been blown off in the woods or
that have been pruned off in the orchards.
A great many farmers who pile up their
limbs and brush and burn them in that
way have n good deal to learn about the
value of apple tree wood as fuel When
seasoned, | consider it much better than
the average wood we get out of the
forest, and for making a hot fire would
place it almost next to hickory. The
trunks of old apple trees are well worth
cutting up for this purpose, and the
branches that are pruned off from the
standing trees in the orchard will make
good stove wood or kindling wood for
coal fires"
