4 Living Fossil.

Professor Denny yesterday gave a
 demonstration to his students at Firth college, Sheffield, of a very unusual and interesting nature. Among the most ancient of animals still inhabiting our planet is the so-called mud-fish (Protopterus) of Africa-a creature worthy of our respect, if only in eonsid-
 eration of it's vast antiquity, which dates far back in the early ages of the world. Of popular interest, the most striking feature of the mud-fish is the possession of lungs as well as gills. On the approach of the dry season, in it's natural haunts in Central Africa, the mud-fish hollows out chamber ln mud, and enters upon period of rest extending over many months, during which time it is without access to wa ter, and breathes air only. While in the mud these fishes may be dug up, and survive even after journey across the world in the dry state. Professor Denny on Monday received one of these mud blocks. In the presence of the students the hard block was placed in warm water, and after being thus ex- posed for nearly two hours the fish,

Saving the Pigs.

Every spring on the farm there are
certain pigs either not endowed with a
fair share of physical vigor, or too
numerous brothers and sisters crowd
them aside. They grow weaker and
weaker and die, or they become miserable
stunted creatures, giving neither pleasure
nor profit to the owner. Whether it pays
to try to save these weak pigs depends
on the comparative price of corn and
pork. If it will not pay, they should be

worth the little trouble needed to give it
fair start with its mates.

for runts is to turn them over to vile or

A Terrible Scene.

Strohschneider, the famous aeronaut,
astonished the natives of Stockerau,
near Vienna, by carrying a young bar
rister on his back along tight rope sc
meters in length fixed to the church stee-
pie. A few days later flaming posters
appeared on the walls announcing that
Strohschneider would effect a balloon
ascent in the company of Herr Pramper,
the popular landlord of the White Rose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the po-
lice had forbidden the landlord, who
has large family. from taking part in
the performance, mine host entered the
inclosure at the appointed time, to the
no small delight of the assembled null
titude. At given signal the balloon
rose in the air, Strohschneider and the
landlord sitting on the trapeze beneath.
Some of the spectators declare that the
latter turned as pale as sheet during his
upward flight, though he did not fail to
wave his hat to the crowd. After reach
ing dizzy height the two balloonists
were observed to quarrel and actually
come to blows
All at once the landlord plunged head
long into space A shout of horror arose
from the spectators, who ran to the spot
where they expected to find Pramper ly-
ing with broken limbs. What was their
astonishment at discovering, not a
corpse, but lay figure dressed in one OF

Heavy Seeding of Oats.

Lodging of oats is due to the imperfect
development of the tissues of the stem,
and this is the result of an insufficient
exposure to sunlight in consequence of
the plants being too close together. The
greatest exposure will doubtless be
secured by moderately thin sowing. 1t
is usually considered that the quantity OF
seed per acre should vary with the COM
dition of the land and the time of SOW
ing, greater quantity being sown when
the season is late. A greater quantity of
seed is required on poor land, as the oats
| do not 'stool OUT so we'll, aud in late
season it is necessary to increase the
amount in order to hasten the harvest, az,
where the land is thinly sown, the
"stooling" process is liable to be carried
| on for too long time, making the
harvest late. In England, as high as
eight bushels per acre of oats are often
sown, in other year-tests that quality of
seed yielding an average of 43 bushels per
acre; six bushels SO; and four bushels
seeding 56 bushels per acre, other things
being equal. In America, four bushels
per acre is usually considered heavy seed
ing for oats, and one and one-half to two
bushels is the amount usually sown.

OVER THE TUBS.
BY ROBERT CLARKsoN TONGUE,

Up from the laundry, all day long.
Comes the Groom of little song:
Low and plaintive, its measures seem

Mrs. McGill in the mist below,
Heaping the linen. snow on snow,

Still as the busy hours go by,

Her hands, with striving for daily bread
While she works in the steam and foam.
Thoughts of the 'childer' left at home.
Come to cheer her. till, after all,
The day seems short and the washing small
FOR mother love, with tender spell,
Is working its ceaseless miracle:
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs,
Down through the areaway there floats
The cry of the newsboy. strident notes
Telling how on field of fame
A warrior won him hero's name;
The sailors clung TO a reeling deck.
Ana served the guns of shattered wreck
hero mounted the ladder tall,
And plucked life from the Naming wall:
While Mrs. McGiL, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes. washes and scrubs.
Six O'Clock. And the music swells
Loud from the throats of thousand bells
SO at last, when the shadows fall,
She draws about her a faded shawl,
While sweet content in the rough, worn face
Kindles brighter than beauty's grace,
Home she hastes, where the long day through
The little ones watched and waited, too,
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Mrs. McGill. your humble name
Has no place in the rolls of fame.
Little it matters to such as you;
Brief the page is, the names are few,
Still know that your faith fnl love
Finds place in the scroll above
So when my heart grows weak and faint,
This is the thought that stops complaint;

Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.

the character of the coin he had received.
AS soon as he saw his mistake, he
turned back and said, ''Lady, am sorry,

the ten-cent piece.
"Are you sure that's my money ?" ask

"Yes, ma'am, and I'm sorry I made
the mistake" said the conductor.
"Oh, Pm willing to take it back, if
