A WOODEN-LEGGED COW.
Harper's Young People.


A Pennsylvania COW rcjoices In the
distinction Of a wooden ley. Having
lost one of her four supporters through
railroad train, which cut 1t of below
the knee, a veterinary surgeon took
the wounded animal In hand, and
through his skill and care her life was
saved. A cabinet-maker completed
the good work by manufacturing a
wooden leg that seemed to answer
every purpose; and, when the stump
OF the leg healed, the artificial substi-
tute was successfully strapped on. AT
first the COW persisted in hoping along
on three legs, and holding the injured
one up from the ground; but before
long she grew tired Of this, and eau
tiously tried the wooden one. At last
accounts she was doing very well with
IL, although going about with u de-
cided -limps; and she has the proud
distinction of being the only COW In
! tue world with q wooden leg.

HISTORY OF POSTAL CARDS.
THERE ARE EIGHT THOUSAND vARIr-
TIES IN THE WORLD.

llEo IN iuE WOhLD
New York Advertiser.
1t seems almost incredible that
there should be 5000 varieties of postal
cards, but that is the extent claimed
for collection. These, however, in
clude various issues Of the same ma
tloh and denomination, and also cards
issued for special OCCASIONS.
RtMtAl cards@haSes bceBsfn circula-
tiosf d lfttle less than 25 years. The
idea. ortsinated with pr. Euantsel
Harmann, professor o. YnatSlral econ
omy at the imperial academy IN Vie
ner, in Neustadt, Lower Austria.
His ideas, under the head.of New
Means of Correspondence by Post"
were published and attracted the at
tention Of the government officials.
The director general of post took up
the idea and succeeded in having an
issue of postal cards put in circulation
in 1869.
The original name given to them
was the correspondence karte," and
this has been retained ever since.
This new move on the part of Aus
tria quickly excited other countries
to adopt a similar method Of c0rre-
spondence. and before the close Of 1870
nearly all the European countries were
using cards.
Germany was really the second
country to employ them, and a special
series was issued to the soldiers en-
gagged in the Franco-German war.
These were called the field-post cor
respondence cards, and were sold un-
stamped to the soldiers at the rate of
about five for half-pcnny. The SOL
diers had the privilege o. using them
without paying postage.
Another series was issued for civil
ians. These had place left for
stamp, and the writer had to aflix
German postage stamp before posting.
The ticld-post cards are now rare, the
used ones being scarcer than the uu:
used ones.
Another card Of equal rarity, and
also reminder of the same war, Is
the balloon postcard issued by France
during the siege of Paris. These cards
were sent up from Paris in balloons;
and the mail bags were thrown of in
to the surrounding country, where
there was the least possible oppor-
tunity Of their capture by the en-
emy.
They were smaller than the post
card now in use, and were covered
with war-like expressions as paris
de6es the enemy!' GLORY and con-
quest signify crimes, defeat signifies
hate and desire for revenge" "Only
one war is just and right--that for in
dependence"

A MISSISSIPPI PRODIGY.

The Times-D Democrat Of the 4th
inst. thus speaks Of little Rosa Etlio
Champlin, the tlvc-year-old daughter
Hon. z. Il. Champlin, of Biloxi:
About five months ago she began
toying with piano, and without the
instruction or knowledge of any per-
son whatever began playing such
pieces as had impressed her.
To the astonishment of her parents
she, with childish glee, announced her
ability TO perform on the piano, and
from that time she has not only been
playing perfectly on the piano, but
has composed five or six pieces Of
music. OF course these compositions
are not written, as the little girl does
not know one note from another, and
is just beginning to learn the letters
of the alphabet. Her compositions
she names herself, calling them by the
name that strikes her fancy. Among
the pieces composed by her are the
Snow Bali Waltz" and "Maud's
Pece;" the latter was composed after
attending the funeral Of little play
mate. After once hearing piece
played she readily reproduces it, and
with the same touch and time Of the
person who first played. Her musical
sense is so acute that she detects at
dertake to perform at all unless the
false notes are corrected.
Her father intends to give her every
advantage of musical education, and
II she lives she will perhaps fulilll the
prediction that this country has not
known her superior as q musician.

PSALM SINGING PARROT.
1t Learned Hymns and Prayers and Died
at an Early Age.

(From the San Francisco Chronicle
Howard Jordan, who resides in Oak
land, was, up to few days ago, the own
er of little green parrot of which he was
very proud. But Polly is dead now and
will be greatly missed, most of all by
Sunday school scholars and people who
attend the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, on 14th street The rear of the
church and SundayEschool room joins Mr..
Jordan's rear yard, where there is grass
plot Every Sunday morning, indeed
every morning, Polly was perched Lout on
the grass to catch the sun light and fresh
air. But Poll thought Sunday the best
day in the week, because on that day the
children sang and recited their lessons,
and Polly liked noise
After awhile Polly left off the croakings
and the fragmentary bits of swear words
it had picked up in early life on coast
ing schooner. The birds owner liked
this and encouraged it. The children
talked to it, and finally the parrot began
to hum the church hymns. Then the
words came, and it joined Justify in with
the children when they sang. After a
little Polly learned the Lords Prayer.
1t forgot its weekday talk and practiced
at all times on hymns and prayers and
biblical quotations. The bird became a
regular Sunday school bird, and was all
but entered on the class rolls
Yesterday, however, Polly did not sing
or pray, and inquiry was made, and it
was learned that the bird had died on
Monday last 1t took sick on Sunday after
the services, and continued to grow worse
until death came Polly was but young
thing for parrot, and scoffer in the
block says that early pity was too much
for it.
