The Moose Is Not Beautiful.

Truth compels the statement that,
considered artistically, the moose is
very homely creature; his legs and
his head ore too long, and his neck
and body too short for beauty. He
has high and sharp crest on his
shoulders, coarse, bristly hair, and
not enough tail to speak of, even in a
whisper lin short, he has no tail at
all. His eyes are too small to match
his immensity, but his voice is like
that of bull of Bashan.
But all these homely features have
their uses. His overhanging nose is
as useful as tapir's snoutin browsing
on the twigs of the birch, maple and
poplar, and his keenness of scent is
worth more to him than an accident
insurance policy. His long and pow
erful legs simply annihilate distance,
no matter whether it be in the form OF
forest, swamp or prairie, covered with
snow, mud or water. His fayorite
gait is long, swinging trot, and his
speed and endurance surpass those
of any ordinary trotting-horse. In
small lakes and ponds he strides about
like Colossus, feeding on lily-stems
and bulbs, and swimming with ease
and comfort whenever he thinks it
necessary.-St Nicholas.

The Climax of a Coon Hunt.

We snatched brands from the burn
ing and sped to the fallen top. Amid
the tangle of broken branches and
matted twigs, maelstrom of fight
was whirling. There was not 80 much
noise--rather strain of savage effort
and one deep muffled snarl of rage.
We waived our fire sticks and yelled
encouragement.
Presently Buffer came backing from
the branches heaving and tugging at
some resisting weight; at once he
spun about and had his prey in the
open. We could see something
wrapped around his head, and would
hear the click of teeth and the steady
rip-rip of flying claws. Yet the good
dog made no sound beyond his labored
breathing. He was fast to great he
coon, and had not yet got his favorite
hold. We forgot Pup and Hunter
we forgot everything except the mil
to the death. We swung the fire
etioks and war danced wildly around
the fight, beseechjng the dog to .'stay
with himl" to "eat him up!" and SC
on. Nobody appeared to sympathize

-Foghorn Experiments.

A series of experiments with fog.
horns, which will probably result in
systematic investigation, have recently
been made. In one of these boat
steamed directly toward ightship
from q distance OF 4 1-2 miles At
2 3-4 miles the sound of the horn be-
came audible, and at 2 1-2 suddenly
increased in loudness, and held the
same intensity until the boat was
within two miles of it. From 3-4
to 1-2 the sound could scarcely be
heard, but after that it at once in
creased and became 80 loud that it
seemed to be quite close to the vessel.
Here the steamboat reversed its
course, and the fuctuation was found
to be the same. Again reversing, the
sound disappeared and reappeared
after l 1-2 miles, became entirely in
audible at half a mile, reappearirg
again at quarter of mile, after
which it steadily increased until the
lighLship was reached. New York

Georgia and the entire South are

Whitney than to any other inventor
remarks the Atlanta Constitution
He made it possible for the despised
cotton crop of his day to become the
king of agric ,ltural staples. 1t has
built up the States south of the Poto-
mac and their product is now manu-
factured in all the leading countries
of the world, clothing and supporting
countless millions of people in every
quarter of the globe. Before Whit
ney's day cotton was comparatively an
animportant product, and in Georgia
it was subordinate to rice. indigo,
and even silk at one period. 1t is
gratifying to know that the younger
Whitney, who died recently, took q
friendly interest in our industrial de-
yelopment, and it is to be regretted
that his visit to our exposition in 1881
cannot be sup upplemented with another
to our greater exposition this fall.

Rebuke From the Pulpit.

Preaching in the Abbey Canon Will
berforce told good story of the cele.
brated Welsh preacher Christmas
Evans, who dared publicly to express
his thankfulness for Jenny Lind's
beautiful singing. A member of his
congregation, a straight-laced Calvin
ist, standing on the steps Of the pull
git, asked the preacher whether man
dying at one of Jenny Lind's concerts
would go to heaven. "Sir." replied
Mr.. Evans, "a Christian will go to
heaven wherever he dies, but fool
remains fool even on the pulpit
steps" Even the sober Abbey con-
gregation could hardly stiAe its enjoy
ment of this repartee. -Westminster

Philadelphia Twins.

There is a good joke on German
town father and mother, who not long
ago found some difficulty in finding
acceptable names for their twin babies
who by the way were girls. After
celebrating over the matter and COM
ing to no satisfactory conclusion pater'
familias struck a happy idea and de-
cided to name his girl babies Kate
and Duplicate. Recently another pair
of twins appeared under the same
roof, this time the infants being boys.
The husband saw here an opportunity
to get even with his wife and he de-
termined that she should find suitable
names for her latest offsprings. Inn
agine his feelings when the mother
one day with happy and satisfied air
told her lord and master that she had
named the boys Pete and Repeat

I,ondon,s Last Thatched Cottage.

A statement in one OF the English
papers received in Washington is to the
effect that the authorities are about to
pull down the last thatched cottage In
London. It is situated three miles
and three furlongs from st. Pauls.
Some remark was caused on account
of the length of time the structure has
been standing and thatin all that time
it has escaped fire. 1t was stated by
q person who had travelled in England
when he read the paragraph that there
were wooden houses in England which
were 500 years old. This seems almost
incredible. In this country a wooden
house would need to be almost entire
ly renewed in every hundredyears. 1t
is said that the hard wood and the care
that had been taken of the houses ac-
counts for their preservation. Wash

A petition from the inhabitants of
the London suburb, Shepherds Bush,
reveals an entirely new difficulty
which boomers have to contend. 1t
seems that Miss Braddon invariably
put into her novels very low, com.
mon families, and made them reside
at Shepherds Bush. Other noyelists
followed her evil example, until now
a-days every English novelist puts his
low characters down as residents of
Shepherds Bush. The result is that
sll the reputable people who could
move went down, and fiction became
fact. The land and house-owners
of Shepherds Bush ask the County
Council to give the place another
name, 80 that their efforts to restore
it's ancient responsibility may not be
in vain.

Great Blast.

Seven tons of gunpowder were employed
in great blast at Penrhyn Quarries,
Bethesda, North Wales. The object in
view was the demolition of a'huge pinnacle
of rock, which has been picturesque OBJ
iect for generations, and which must be
familiar memory to the thousands who
visit the spot every year. Some idea OF
the gigantic dimensions of the place may
be gathered from the fact that the rock
face between the different terraces is some
where about sixty feet in depth. The
peak rose in the midst of the amphitheatre
formed by the quarries-it is estimated to
have contained over 10000 tons. Quite a
crowd gathered to witness the effect OF tue
blast and certainly those present were not
disappointed in the spectacle afforded.
On tue signal being given, the gunpowder
was ignited, and amid the curling smoke
the pinnacle was seen to totter. and then

MBillY Black Tail.u

Coming down to the members Of the
Deer Family that are universally
known as Deer, we first meet fine,
lusty fellow who inhebits the widest
portions of the West. BY the men
who live in his country he is called
the Black Tailed Deer-his pet name
is 'tBilly Black Tail, but naturalists
call him the Mule Deer, simply be-
cause he has large ears.
In the Canadian Northwest this
creature is called the Jumping Deer,
and very appropriate name it is, too.
] shall never forget my unbounded asz
tonishment when I first saw big
antlered buck of this species go flying
Gown the crest of bare ridge in the
badlands of the Musselshell. He
bounded past my position, in full view
for quarter of mile, and 1 had an
excellent view of him. He did not
galIop, as do all other deer, reaching
far out with his fore feet, but he just
jumped into the air, stitfened his legs,
and went bounding forward as if the
ground were on India-rubber cushion
that threw him upward and forward
every time he touched it with his feet
He did actually bend his knees trife,
just as his feet touched, to throw his
body upward again, while his strong
hind legs shot him forward. 1t was
all SO easy, and SO completely without
effort, that he seemed to be almost
flying along, like William Tells eagle,
By the sole act OF his unlorded will
That buoyed him proudly up.
L have lost my record of the length
of his leap, but think it was sixteen
feet; and SO I say Jumping Deer" is

TlIOs. j. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR
Cl adlc Song.

The crickets in the corner sing,
Der farm and field the shadows creep
Their homeward way the swallows wing
The sun is setting iu the deep.
The squirrels seek their leafy hold,
The fox is in his hollow tree,
And, huddled in their silent fold,
The downy lambkins sleeping be.
The little bird within his nest
Hath hid his little head in rest,
And soon, oh, soon
The dreamy moon
Will sail along the feecy west;
The day is done,
The night begun,
So sleep, my drowsy little one.
But when at poop of day we see
The spider weaving at his loom,
The soaring lark above the lea,
The bee amid the clover bloom;
When frisking baby squirrels wake
And sip the leaves of morning dew,
When baby foxes from the brake
Do prowl the thorny hedges through,
When on the meadows sweet with hay
The white and curly lambkins play,
And, fresh ard cool,
Der plain and pool,
Blowelh the breeze of coming da.a
Thou, too, shalt rise
To sunny skies,
And open wide thy baby eyes.
