Up on George Gould's place, at Fur
Tough lake, in the Catskills, is q stoclzy
young Jersey bull, as full of vim and
energy as a steam engine. a few days
ago some painters from Margaretsville
were painting cottage on the place
and had to pass through the pasture
where the bull was browsing One OF
the painters carried a red paint pot,
which caught the bulls eye. He pre-
pared for business at once and charged
on the painters, believing loudly. They
saw him coming and scampered for
dear life. He singled out the painter
with the red paint pot and gave him
chase, driving him up a tree.
AS the man sprang into the tree he
dropped the paint pot, upon which the
bull proceeded to vent his rage. He
spattered the paint, which was bright
yellow, all over his forelegs, shoulders
and head, and from being black bull
he shortly became golden colored one
After he had used up the paint pot he
turned his attention again to the painter
in the tree and quietly proceeded to
watch him. After keeping him up the
tree for about an hour Jim Gibbons,
Gould's head hostler, came and whacked
the bull soundly with a blacksnake
whip and drove him into a pen. allow
ing the frightened painter to come down
from his perch.
The bull was then chained, and two
stout hostlers washed him down with
spirits of turpentine to get the paint
off. The turpentine smarted and made
him below and roar in frightful man
ner. Gibbons said he did not know
which got the most fun out of the ad-
venture, the bull or the painter, but he
is certain the bull will have a sore hide
for week to come. Cor. New York

He Renented Refnre Marriage.

The proverbial saying about the
''slip 'twixt cup and lip was excel
lently illustrated not long since in Paris
undeI rather curious circumstances. A
wedding party had reached the mayor
of the district in which the bride re-
sided, and all the usual preparations
had been made for the festivities which
were to mark the suspicious occasion.
The bride was duly handed out OF
the carriage, and leaning on her fathers
arm, began to go up the steps of the
building wherein the mayor was wait
ing to perform the ceremony. The
bridegroom walked close behind her,
and was clumsy enough to put his foot
on the white satin train of her wedding
dress.
The stuff gave way, the dress was
torn, and the fair wearer, greatly an
noyed at the mishap, turned around
upon her future husband, exclaiming
angrily, 'Imbecilel" The young man,
after renarking aloud, ''1f it be like
this before marriage what will it be af-
forwards" turned his back on the bride
and the assembled company and fed,
leaving dismay and CONSERVATION be-
hind him.
The services of NJ. lie Marie were not
needed, the wedding breakfast had to
be countermanded and the hasty
young lady had no alternative but to
return home-not a wife, as she ex-
pected but still une demoiselle ma

The wandering exiles whose origin

dominant creeds of their adaptive

Turkey, Roman Catholics in Austria,
and Protestant Christians in northern
Germany and the United States. But
in addition to those doglnas of expe-
diency, they profess tenets Of an elder
creed which has been defined as a sort
of sun worship, and involves rites
which are still observed at certain times
of the year, or even publicly upon ex-
traordinary occasions. A few weeks

Lack of Dancing Men in London.

Apparently the dancing young man
has effaced himself. Either our gilded
youth have grown more languorous, or
they have come to the conclusion that
terpsichorean exercise can be much
more gracefully and attractively per
formed by young ladies alone. To
whatever cause it is attributable, the
unwillingness of the ''slnart young
man" to attend dances is unmistakable.
This is a dull enough season, viewed
from any point, and it is, therefore,
doubly hard on hostesses who have
tried to infuse a little gayety into it by
organizing balls to find that they have
piped unto the gommeux in vain. AT
one or two of the few recent smart
dances the girls have been absolutely
destitute of partners, and have stood,
mortified and dull, hoping against hope
that some of the exquisites would spare
an hour or two when they had grown
weary of the clubs -Lady's Pictorial.

remembrance for a Sea VOYAGE

If you have n friend crossing the
water this summer, and want to give
her some little token of remembrance,
some little gift that will show your
good will and good feeling toward her,
here is an idea for you Your friend
will probably be out six or seven days.
Sit down and write seven letters. Make
them as bright, interesting and anus
ing as your intelligence and intellect
permit. If you feel that your heart is
larger than your brain get kind
friend to assist you. Put each letter
in a separate envelope and address it.
On the day the ship sails make it your
business to find the head table steward,
give the packet into his keeping. and
enioin him strictly to give your friend
each morning with her coffee one of
the letters.
A small fee accompanying the epistle
would be a good idea. 1t is a most
wonderful assistance to the memory.
If you wish you can also intruSt to the
stewards care some fruit and n little
wine. And if your friend is so unfor-
tunate as to be troubled with mai de

panied by bright, spicy letter, is pre-

Apple Trees Around Inndnn.

Many apple trees in London subur-
ban gardens are in danger of extinc-
ton. This is a thousand pities, be-
cause tie apple tree, apart from the
attacks of caterpillars and some liabil,
ity to American blight, not only lives
and grow, in London gardens, but will
bear abundant fruit. Up till the past
four or five years it has been quite com
mon to find fairly well loaded apple
trees in hundreds of London suburban
gardens
Latterly, however, year after year
the foliage has no sooner developed
than it has been attacked by myriads
of caterpillars, and everywhere round
the metropolis may now be seen apple
trees apparently all sere and dead. The
scanty brown shriveled foliage left
upon them will presently fall, and an
other crop of leaves will appear; but
the trees have been crippled and weak
ened, and this being repeated year after
year must eventually kill the trees-in-
deed, many have been killed already

Feb. Is, 1862 has just been given TO the
state library of Iowa by General Tut
tie, who is about to remove from Des
Moines to Arizona. According TO the
story that is told, General Smith. who
commanded the division before Donel-
son, had asked in vain number of
regiments to make the dash upon the
enemy's intrenchments, when Colonel
futile said, Support me promptly,
and in twenty minutes we will take the
works"
The colonel went ahead with 800
men, of whom about one-half were
quickly killed or wounded us soon as
the Confederates concentrated upon
them their fire. The great achievement
of the Second Iowa was that, instead of
breaking in disorder, they girled them
selves for another rush, which carried
them into the enemy's trenches. -

COLD AIR ON DRAFT.
How Buildings In Kansas city Are to BE
Cooled and Ice To BE Made.

How Buildings in Kansas city Are to he
Cooled and Ice to BE Made.
Kansas City will be the first city in
the world to experiment with a system
which promises to introduce cool air
into any business house or residence In
the city. More than that, it is pro
posed by this system to make ice in
refrigerators at one-third the present
cost of that rather expensive sum
mer luxury. The men at the mead OF
the scheme are Daniel O'Keefe, II. b.
BuIIene, L. Fl. Phelps and II. r. CLAUS.
Daniel O'Keefe, of Kansas City, is
the inventor of the system, and says
that he has been at work on IL since
1869 He argues that II the scheme OF
heating buildings by hot air is success
full, why cannot the cooling Of them 10y
cold air be equally as successfulf AT
the central station will be ammonia and
air compressors. brine and vacuum
pumps, brine and air cooling tanks and
receiving and discharging connections.
The conduits first laid will be %
inches in diameter, with four separate
chambers The upper and largest one
will contain cold air The two lower
ones will be used for discharging and
returning the anhydrous ammonia
brine. In the center of the conduit will
be a vacuum chamber. The air can be
introduced into any house at n reason
able cost, and the temperature can be
regulated easily from 20 degs TO zero.
The liquid can be used for freezing pur-
poses and Mr.. o. Keefe claims that ice can
be made for one-third the present cost.
Mr.. O'Keefe expects that one of the
greatest features of his scheme will be
the use of the air rs a disinfectant in
the sick room.
1t is claimed that the plant and con
duits can be placed u operation for
about $3.50. 600. The ordinance pro
vides that 1000 feet of conduits shall
be in use within two years, and that
work shall be begun under the provi-
sions of the franchise within six months
after the passage of the measure.
O'Keefe declares that all the pipe will
be laid before Oct. l. The work is TO
be done under the direction of the city
engineer and the board of public works,
and so, 600 bond is to be given to in
sure the city. When the company de-
sires hereafter to make extensions the
board of public works is to be author
lied to grant permits under proper in.
structions, with the provision that no
excavations shall interfere with any
pipes, sewers or other underground
mains.
Mr.. O'Keefe says that the system will
be perfectly safe, low pressure alone be-
ing used in the conduits. The process
is entirely different from the brine cool
ing system now in use at the packing
houses and observation-disclosures City

ing which she is not likely to forget

The children began to play, and Mrs

How to Get to the North Pole.


We may seem fully entitled to draw
the conclusion that current rs con-
stantly running across the polar region
somewhere north of Franz Josef Land
from the sea north of the Siberian
coast and Behring strait, and into the
sea between Spitzbergen and Green
land. Since such a current exists. the
most natural way of reaching the
north pole, or a point quite near it,
must be to enter the current OH the
side where it runs northward. :nat Is,
somewhere near the New Siberian
islands, and let it carry one straight
across those unknown regions which it
has prevented so many from reaching
/ shall build n wooden ship as small
and as strong as possible; it shall be
just big enough to carry provisions for
twelve men for five years, besides the
necessary coal; vessel of about 200
tons will suffice The most important
feature of the ship will be that she will
be built on such lines as will give her
the greatest power of resistance TO the
pressure of the foe ice. Her sides
must not be perpendicular rs those of
ships generally are, but must slope from
the bulwarks to the keel; or, to use
sailors expression, her dead rise" must
be made great, so that the foes shall
get no hold of her when they are
pressed together, but will glide down
ward along her sides and under her,
thus tending to lift her out of the
water.
With this vessel, and a crew of ten
or twelve strong and well picked men,
besides an equipment for five years as
good in all respects as modern appli-
ances can afford, think the enterprise
has good prospect of success.-Dr
Fridtjof Nansen in Forum.
