A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there is
granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to 1t is
up substantial ladder staircase. One
of the bullOcks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, he was seen ON the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavOred to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail-
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of a
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was a crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell,
breaking all his legs, so that he had to be
killed on the spot. Letter.

music at the hands of a master. There

the crowd while they were under his
control. His opponent had a voice like
big bass viol, halted and stammered,

THE WONDERS OF ATOMS.
Even the Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions of Particles.

Even the Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions of Particles.
There are but few persons outside of
the ranks of the biological students that
have any idea of what is meant by the
expression IAN atom of matter" When
the microscope is applied to the exami-
nation of living tissue, whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable life, il
is soon observed that all living things
are made up of minute bodies called
"Organisms. Experts in the various
branches of biological research Will also
tell you that no essential difference can
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the sum total OF
animal life and those which give the
vegetable its existence. These life cells,
although wonders within themselves:
are made up of minute particles called
"atoms, which are so small that they
must over remain invisible to the hu
man eye. Some critical reader will say,
IF this last remark be true, how can
it be proved that such infinitesimal par
ticles as your so called atoms EXIST"
To this query the reply would be that it
is only when an untold number of these
atoms unite themselves so as to form
single body, like the grains in pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi-
BILE andsthen only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish
This being the case. it is not an exag-
geratiOn TO say that every little piece of
matter which we are able to see is built
up of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken in aggregatiOns of thou
sands. There are, of course, many diff
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, ETC., each of
which is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they probably differ in shape as we'll as
size. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu-
tual attraction, which is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity. according as the atoms are of
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr-
lads of these atoms of all sizes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de-
grees of intensity to build up structures
possessing all the various degrees Of
stability and solidity. Some of the most
wonderful theories ever advanced on
the atomic theory are by Sir William
Thomson, the English scientist. In one
of these articles he proves by three diff
ferent trains of arguments that an atom
cannot be greater than the one one hun
dred and fifty millionth of an inch nor
less than one-fve billlonth of an inch.

A NOVEL RAGING MATCH.
TObogganing Down Run on Rocking
Horses to Decide Wager.

Horses To Decide a wager.
There is no knowing what an Eng
lishman will not do to decide a bet
Men have jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon untraCtable Steeds-yea,
and even kissed their own mOthers-in-
lawn order to settle wager. In fine,
it ought to be an established maxim
among us by this time that, given GER
tain number of impOssib Utilities and an
equal number of young Englishmen,
those impossibilities will not long re-
main such, provided they be made the
subjects of bets.
One of those incidents which go a
long way toward justifying the reputa-
ton which as nation of madmen we
have earned among foreigners occurred
at st. MOritz when, lin order to settle
bet, Lord William Manners and the
Hon. II. Gibson agreed to go down the
village run" mounted on rocking
horses in place of ordinary tobOggams.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors were "attired in full hunt
ing kit, " and as elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru-
NOR of the affair had been industriously
nOised abroad the crowd which had as
sembled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for l2 o'clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
of the spectators announced that the
horses were off. Unlike the custom in
tObOggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as certain angle of
the run" called Casper 8 Corners, from
the fact that hotel of that name is
situated close by, but taking it rather
high Mr.. Gibson passed Cleverly on the
inside, which he maintained to the fin
ish, Lord William being summarily
dismissed from his fractions steed s
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
In the second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as Casper's Corners, where Mr.. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being jockeyed by his opponent his
horse swung round and proceeded down
the run tail foremost, but leading. The
merriment of the spectators at this
stage of the proceedings may be more
easily imagined than described, nor did
it abate in the least when MI. Gibson,
dism0unting, seized it unCeremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way
it should go.
Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment a second
time, for in attempting to take to
use true hunting term-a particularly
awkward part of the run called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re-
spOnd to its riders exeItiOns to get ii
successfully over the obstacle, and horse
and jockey came down to the ground in
one tumultuOus sOmersault together.
Lord Williams discontinue proved
to be Mr.. Gibson's opportunity. The
time and ground that the former had
lost by his involuntary flight through
the air were never recovered. Mr.. Glib
son, with the position of his horse re-
versed and his legs thrust scientifically
in front of him, rode easily and trium-
4 phantly forward and eventually reached
the winning post some seconds in ad-
vance Of his OppOnent.-Alpine Post.

CHAPTER Y.

The morning lessons had seemed
very irl1some to Mrs Jack. She was
nervous and low-spirted In the first
place. she had not oyertaken Mr. War
rem in her walk to Beech Grove. IT
was the first morning for weeks that
she had missed seeing him and the
very first on which she had wished not
to see him: but she was aware that she
should henceforth feel new constraint
and shyness in his presence, now that
size knew the share he had in keeping
Jimmy and Jenny within bounds Of
obedience.
And | was boasting to him, only the
other day, how well I managed the
chlldren.' exclaimed Mrs Jack to her
self. as she walked along faster and
faster under the excitement Of her own
thoughts; "and all the time he was
bribing them to be good and to spare
me- What weak, babyfied creature
he must think me.'
And yet there must have been some
CLEAN Of comfort in the discovery Of
Mr. Warren's care on her behalf, for
little flush and smile lighted up her
face the next instant But on the
whole she wished not to meet Mr.. War
rem just then, anl--a good deal to her
surprise-she got her wish, as we
know. But such is the Deryersity and
unreasonableness Of human nature-or
1T all events Of Mrs. Jack $ nature
that having got her wish, she began to
regret its fulillment! And TO wonder
why Mr.. Warren was not taking his
usual walk; and whether he We're i'll
Or offended with her!Both OF which
Wonderings were utterly wild and un-
founded; seeing that she had talked
with him the previous day. when he
was in excellent health. and had parted
from him on the frendliest terms. and
seeing that there were fifty far more
probable hypothesis ready to her hand
to account for the fact Of Mr. War
ren's not being at particular part Of
particular road at a particular hour
Then, too, Mrs. Jack felt certain shy
ness in the presence Of her pupils since
Miss Jenny's revelation. When she re-
aulred obedience or attention she was
nncomfortably conscious that the child
rem We're earning their pony rides and
WAX dolls, instead Of submitting to dis
cipline in consequence of her moral in
fuence over them!
