The robbers gained an entrance by using nippers on the key which was left in the lock of the rear door.
 T.J. Campbell, the president, offered 8 reward oi $1, ,000 for the capture of the two robbers. A week ago a farmer named Judy was robbed of 5000 in money and some $6,o00 in checks.

Selling Horse Flesh.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Oficers of the health department think that in the arrests of John Mill and Amos Schultz they have obtained evidence of sys- tematic business in the sale of horse flesh. Inspector Young of the health department stated that Officer O'Con- nell found the men slaughtering 8 horse. Inspector Young said that in many quarters of the city stuff that is called corned beef is sold at retail for cents per pound. Beef can not be bought off the hoof for that price, and the only conclusion is that the meat is of a diseased or wholly inferior quality, and no doubt horse meat. Others con- cerned in the sale of such meats are ex- pected to be arrested in few days.

A Pretty Result.


A beautiful artistic result is achieved
by recently invented method of en-
larging stereopscopic pictures, one that
solves the problem of placing upon the
screen a pair of ordinary stereoscopic
pictures in such manner that while
the right eye can only see the right
hand picture, and the left eye the left
hand picture, the two shall yet be COM
bined and conveyed to the brain as one.
In solving this problem, according to
an English artist, the pictures on the
screen are in full perspective, the vari-
Gus objects forming them standing out
as if possessed of three dimensions and
appearing in their correct relative
planes.
A pair of ordinary stereoscopic trans
parencies are superposed on the screen
as nearly as possible-the pictures not
being identical, perfect registration
cannot be obtained--and the light from
each picture is polarized, one vertically
and the other horizontally, the combin-
ed picture being viewed through an an
alyzer similar to a small opera glass.
This analyzer is so constructed that
while the right eye can only see the i'm
age portrayed in horizontally polarized
light the left eye can see only that in
vertically polarized light. An impor-
tant feature, in view of the fact that
polarized light is apt to be broken up,
is the facing of the screen with dull or
matt silver, long series of experiments
having proved this to be the best mate
rial.-New York Sun.

A Venice Industry.

Venice owes the accumulation of great
wealth from a new industry to one of
her natives named Joquin. 1t was in
the year 1855 that he observed that the
scales of fish called the bleakfish pos
sessed the property of giving milky
hue to water. After experimenting with
it he discovered that when beads were
dipped into it and then dried they as
sumed the appearance of pearls. This
covering, however, was easily worn
away, and successive experiments led
to the manufacture of hollow glass
beads, all blown separately, then polish
ed in revolving cylinders and finally
coated inside with the pearly liquid,
the latter being protected with wax.
This branch of industry is carried on
in Venice to this day.-Philadelphia

A Sarcastic Advertisement.

An English advertisement of sarcas-
tic tone, which no doubt expresses the
feelings of many persons who have had
experience with the book borrowing
hend, is tho following:

men who have borrowed, fSom time to time
books from Mr. s. Levy will return them to the

cret Revenge" "Ivanhoe," TALES of the

until found by S. LEVY.
As the conscience of the book borrow
er is hardened, this probably had little
effect. John Irving Romer's Lecture.

Visitors crowded TO the spot to hear and
see it. Its vocabulary consisted of such
phrases as are generally taught to par
rots. A case is also recorded Of a
speaking canary having been exhibited
in Regent street about 20 years ago.
The explanation given is that the bird
is gifted with unusual powers Of imita-
tion and will pick up airs freely which
it is in the habit of frequently hearing.
Lett to itself, it quickly initiates the
notes of other birds, and in Germany
and the Tyrol canaries are usually
placed for this purpose beside the night
ingale. In our own country they are
often taught to initiate the lark. The
words which it initiates may be regard
ed as a mere development or variant of
its musical notes. es.-Liverpool Mercury.

Muscle and vigor-A Dinerence.

Many muscular men succumb to fatigues
borne with ease by persons far their inferors in
physical strength. Muscle does not imply
vigor. In fact, it is not difficult OF proof that
sthletes do not live as long nor enjoy as good
health as the average individual who IL ylgor-
are unimpaired, whose nerves are tranquil,
and who has no organic tendency to disease.

Talklng Cannrx Birds.

The story of the talking canary, which
attracted much attention, has brought
out other instances OF an acquired pow
er of speech i'll the same bird In the
organ of the Selborne society, where the
story originally appeared, there are
some further cases given, and probably
many more may be yet forthcoming.
Attention has been directed to an ac-
count of talking canary at Norwood
which was published in natural his
tory magazine for 1858. 1t began by
repeating a word which its mistress had
often used to it," Kissie, Kissie and
by following the word up by ta-
ton OF ths SQUAD of kiss. Its IS
had been in the habit of kiss lie
bird and talking to it as if it - a
child. After time the bird repeated
other words, until it had large vocabu-
larry of phrases, one of which consisted OF
five words.
Again, in 1868, talking canary was
beard and seen at a cottage near Bath.

"Something Better. {"

Here comes old Simon, cried Ben
Davis as he and his schoolmates met
an aged grocer, who, having no horse.
was obliged to deliver the groceries
himself.
''The old fellow is carrying bag of
beans somewhere, " cried Fred Brown.
" Look, look, he has spilled half of them,
and they are all getting good wetting
in the snow. Ha, ha, what fun! Do
see the old man try to pick them upl
He's about as blind as mole too"
Lets give the bag another shake, -
laughed Bob Maggs, "and set the rest
of the beans a-fyin
"Oh, no, cried Sammie Beers. " Let 3
do something better than that. Let's
run and help him pick up the beans.
He isn't to blame for being old and
blind"
Course he isn't" cried Ben. "Who
said he vast"
Nobody" answered Fred, but, l
say, let's help him load up that bag
again.
Then the boys told tho grocer what
they meant to do. They began their
sask at once and in few minutes had
returned the greater part of the beans

Dies one the better for a couch well draped?
Listen There walked among us one who lay
Nightly beneath silken robe; by day
From toll some meager moments he escaped,
And all the rest was care and anxious play
OF straining thought upon his gathered gold:
How little he might lose, how much might hold
To breed and multiply beneath his sway.
One day he died. Where he was wont TO stand
With empty smiles before obsequious guests,
He lay unmoved. hypocritic band
In black, they wept, and wondered what be-
quests
Would fall; and thought. with comfortable
cheer,
