'Embracery" is a new term in English
jurisprudence. The apprehensions of
him who is arrested upon a charge of it
would probably take the direction of the
divorce court. In the matter, however,
he would be in error; the charge is really
one of corrupting a jury. 1t is a very
rare o%ffense, yet, from what appears from
q recent case, where a gentleman got
fined $500 for it, very easy to commit.
You have only to get a juror into a pub
lie house, treat him to q glass of ale and
remark that the prisoner whose conduct
is under his consideration sis a good fell
low, though he may have over-stepped
the mark little" The influence of a
jury by f~iattery or other arts is in a
learned counsel only cajolery; but in a
layman it is ''embracery"-a much more
advanced stage of ingratiation.

A ONE Made Weather eIass.

Two articles only are required to con-
struct this simple weather prophet. First
a clean oil flask (such as olive oil comes
in), and secondly a wide-mouthed fruit
jar. Fill the jar to within two or three
inches Of the brim with soft water.
Place the neck of the oil flask within the
fruit jar. In fair weather the water in
the neck of the flask will remain about
half an inch above the bowl, but in
stormy weather the water will rise grad
ually in the neck, and rain or snow may
then be looked for. If the atmosphere
be very heavy it will rise at times to the
height of two or three inches in a few
hours. The water needs no changing,
nor does it matter if the weather glass be
kept out Of doors or in, save that in
freezing weather, of course, the glass
would ak.-DetrOt Bree Press.

Barnum's "Brick Man"

As an illustration of one of Barnum's
ingenious methods of attracting atten-
ton to his museum may be mentioned
the incident of the ''brick man." One
day a man applied for aims to Barnum,
who was sitting in the ticket Office. To
the inquiry as to why he did not go to
work, the mendicant replied that he
would gladly do so at a dollar a day, if
he could find employment. Barnum gave
him twenty-five cents to get his break
fast, and told him to return and he
would give him a dollar and a half a
day and easy work. When the man re-
turned, Barnum gave him five bricks,
and told him to place one in front of the
museum, another on the corner of Vesey
street, a third at the corner of Fulton
on the st. Paul's Church side-and the
fourth on the east corner of Fulton. Re-
turning then to the museum, he was to
take up the first brick and replace it
with the fifth, and then continue his
rounds, putting down one brick and
taking up the other each time. He was
enjoined to answer no questions, and to
seem not to hear, and that at the end of
each three quarters of an hour he was
to pass into the museum, look around at
curiosities tor fifteen minutes, and then
resume his rounds with the brick. Bar
nun says that the man played his part to
perfection, and his eccentric conduct
caused a great crowd to gather about
the museum. Many of these, of course,
went into the museum to seek some ex-
PLANTATION as to the purpose of the
''brick man." This was kept up for
several days, until the police requested
his withdrawal, because such crowds
fingered about the museum that traffic
was nterrupted.-Harper's Weekly.

Tho statute upon the subject Of or,

The statute upon the subject OF cruelty
to animals, is pretty rigid in Pennsyl-
vania. II makes it a misdemeanor for
any person to "wantonly or cruelty i'll
treat, overload, beat or otherwise abuse
any animal" Recently there occurred a
pigeon-shooting match by the members
of a gun club, and one of the members
wounded, without at the same time kill.
ing, a pigeon. When this was discov-
cred the bird was at once killed. Some
humane person thought that the law had
been violated, and that its penalty should
be invoked, so its machinery was set in
motion aud a trial was held, and the &C
cused was found guilty of cruelty. The
cruelty consisted Sin wounding instead
of instantly killing" the pigeon. The
case was taken to the Supreme Court OF
tate, which, observes the Nail AID
Express, happily took the broader view
that birds are "placed here by the AL.
mighty for the use of man, " aud that it
was an unavoidable incident, to which
this statute did not apply.

Swimming TO Church.

A girl named Nyangandi, who lived
near the ogowe River, West Africa, one
Saturday came in her canoe with two
punches of plantains to sell TO the mis-
sionary. When she was going away Mrs.
Bachelor, the m~issioRary's wife, said to
her: "Now, you must not forget that
tomorrow will be the Sabbath day, and
you have already promised to come every
time" eyes" said the girl, 81 will
surely come if l am alive" And so she
did, but no one knew how she got there,
until. at the close of the service, she told
the girls that in the night her canoe had
been stolen, and none of her friends
would lend her one; but she had prom
ised to come TO church, and so she felt
she must. She swan all the way. The
current was swift, the water deep, and
the river fully a third of a mile wide;
but by swimming diagonally she sue
ceeded in crossing the riyer.-New YOrA

Russia's Kohl.Suppe.

Kohl-suppe to the Russians is what the
~pot-au-feu is to the French. A large cab.
bage is cut into quarters and put in a
stewpan, with a pound each of fish
usually sturgeon), beef and mutton, an
ounce of salt, and is covered with cold
water. This is allowed L cook
for about four or five hours until
the meat and fish can be shredded,
when it is skinned, seasoned with salt
and pepper, and sent to table in a deep
tureen.--New York. Journal.

The Wolf Bounty law OF Minnesota In.

to raise whelps for their scalps. Evil
dence recently brought before the Min

Says the Washington Star: "The
phenomenal growth of the American city
population is a subject for both wonder
and alarm. Its percentage cannot grow
without a corresponding decrease in the
percentage of rural population. And
this fact is fraught with economical aud
social dangers. Consider what these
must be in a very few decades when we
know that the urban increase has been
during the last ten decades from three
per cent. of the whole population to
slightly less than thirty per cent. in
1880. And this is SO far as city popula-
ton proper is concerned, or the popula-
ton of towns having a population Of
eight thousand or more. The rural popu-
lation in its s~trictest limitation-that is
on the farms aud in the country stores
and workshops or in hGmlets of less than
two hundred souls-would show that the
disproportion between the town and
country a century ago and now is very
much greater than appears from the cen
sus enumeration. Is the American rustic
disappearingl Are Drawn and muscle
only to be acquired in the pursuit of the
manly art or in the enthusiasm of the
national gamel Are farmers movements
of the future to be rendered impossible
by the disappearance of the farmeri
The congestion of population in our
great cities, and the prevailing misgov-
eminent of these cities combine to raise
one Of the most serious problems that
pow confront American statesmen"

SONG.

There's a nest in the orchard grasses,
And the sweet south wind, as he passes,
Whispers soft and low,
Blow, wind, blowl
Summer will fly and birds will go:
There's a song amid the orchard trees, -M-
That is heard DER the hum of the murmur-
ing bees. -
And the soft south wind as he passes
Scarce moves the tops Of the waving grasses,
Sing, fedglings, singl
Summer will fly n birds take wing.

The inventor of the Calling gun
dreams of putting an end to wars by
making battles fatal to all who take
part in them. Possibly there may be
some more effective way of stopping a
fight than killing off the combatants,
suggests the San Francisco Chronicle, but
it has not occurred to any one to publish
it If he thought of it.

SILENCE.

OF all the words that bear their Fart
In all the deeds of day TO day,
One word is chiefly in my heart.
One little word / must not say.
The hills Of truth are straight and steep
They have a smart in every stone;
And climbing them l needs must weep
To think that love must die unknown.
Night follows day--day chases night,
And brings a lesson strange to teach,
That love is lifeless in the light.
And silence is the fullest speech.

EVERY YEAR.

The death of Albert. Pike which
occurred in Washington City quite
recently in his SD year, brought
sadness to the hearts of many Ar
kansians, and especially members of
the Masonic fraternity OF which Col.
Pike was the grand head in the Uni.
ted States. The beautiful poem
printed below is from his gifted pen
and is so fraught with truth and
nature, and wiLhal, such sweetness
of expression, that every lover of
rhythm and pure poetIcal sadness,
will appreciate "Eycry Year," and
all Of our readers should preserve
this gem; if not Tor its true pathos,
1t should be kept as a memcnto Of
the greatness of this literary genius
who was among the pioneer citizens
of Arkansas, gallant soldier in the
Mexican war as well as a colonel IN
the Confederate army.-ED. REC

The Spring has less of brightness,
Every Year;
And the Snow a ghastlier Whiteness,
Every Year;
Nor do summer flowers quicken;
Nor autumn-fruitage thicken,
As they once did, for they sicken,
Every Year.
It is growing darker, colder,
Every Year,
As the heart and soul grow older,
Every Year;
l care not now fer dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing;
Love is less and less enhancing,
Every Year;
OF The loves and sorrows blended
Every Year;
Of the charms of friendship ended,
Every Year;
Of the ties that still might bind me,
Until Time to Death resign me,
My lInrmltleS remind me,
Every Year.
All! bow sad to look before US,
Every Year,
While the clouds grow darker o'erus,
Every Year,
When We see the blossoms faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garIands braided,
Every Year.
To the past go more dead faces,
Every Year.
AS the loved leave vacant places,
Every Year.
Everywhere the sad eyes meet US,
In the evenings dusk they greet US,
And to come to them entTeat US,
Every Year,
you are growing DID," they tell US,
Every Year;
You are more alone - they tell us,
Every Year;
You ap.wln no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every. Year
Yes! the shores Of life art shifting,
Every Year;
And we are seaward drifting,
Every Year;
Ola places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every Year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every Year;
And its Morning star climbs higher
Every Year;
Earth's hold on US grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
