The Color of Wild Animals.

1t is remarkable fact that many
birds and wild animals are white on
the under parts of their bodies. and Mr..
Thayer, an American naturalist, seems
to have found the reason for the pecu-
liarity. He has Illustrated his views by
an interesting experiment Taking
three large potatoes, he paints one-half
Of each of them grass green color.
The halves of the other two are painted
white, but the third potato is left un-
painted on one half, or else is painted
all green. He then places the three
potatoes on the grass in row, their
green sides uppermost On retiring to
a certain distance, the two potatoes
which are white underneath become in
visible, whereas the potato which is all
green or else implanted on it's lower
part is easily seen, His explanation of
the mystery is that the white colora-
ton relieves the deep shadow cast by
the upper part of the potato. Hence he
believes that white on the under side nf.

FENCING is THE FAD,
New York Women Going In for 1t in
Earnest.

New York Women Going In for 1t in
Earnest.
Prepare! Salute! On guard! De-
fend! Clash! Clash! These are sounds
that may be heard in many New York
homes nowadays, says the New York
Herald. Fencing at home has become
a fad, and rooms especially devoted to
exercise with the foil are found in the
residences of all the young women who
have bowed fealty to Dame Fashion.
There are few exercises which more
thoroughly develop the muscles of the
body than fencing. In Germany, where
the women fence as much as they ride
bicycles over here, feminine strength
and health and grace are generally en-
joyed, although with us they are rot
to be found as often as is desired This
is an era of the practical in society
and it is likely in this fat will be
found the reason for the general spread
of this new fad. Instead of arraying
herself in fine clothes and undergoing
for two hours a sort of social martyr
dom under the guise of an afternoon
tea the girl of the period receives a
half dozen Of her friends in her fenc-
ing room and there many pleasant
half hour is spent in discussing and
demonstrating the latest forms of
fence, guard, parry and attack. One
has to see the society woman handle
the foils to appreciate the change
which few months or even a few
weeks work in fencing can accomplish.
The costumes worn by ladies when
fencing are much more attractive than
the ordinary bicycle suits now so COM
mon upon the streets, and there is
practically no limit to the fanciful de-
orations which can be INDUCED in in
the fitting up of these private fencing
rooms. Many of them are fitted up in
the style of the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. Some of the enthusiasts are
not content with a simple fencing
room, but have in addition a small
room adjoining fitted with everything
essential to feminine comfort after the
exertion of a half hours active work
with the foils. Here the hostess and
her fencing friends may chat among
themselves to their hearts content
without the presence of men, who must
be talked to and kept in good humor
Men are not wanted there Fencing
puts muscles of steel into the dain-
test and slenderest of wrists and whit
est of hands, trains the eye and gives
a physical dexterity far beyond what
one would imagine until seen in actual
practice. Whatever may be said of fads
in general, the present one has the ef-
feet of giving healthful amusement to
class of women who otherwise would
never take needed exercise. The ia
vorite system OF, fencing now practiced
by the society woman If of the French
school, which, as is we'll known, was
founded on the old sword play of Spain.
which was introduced into France and
later into Italy by Spanish bourbons.
While the Italian masters have kept
to this day the long foil, with it's bell
shaped guard, the direct descendant of
the old Spanish rapier, the French have
modernized the weapon and the fenc-
ing foil of to-day is the result.

The Power Gf HabI.

The power of habit is h.. 1cularly
txemplitied in the effects p..-aced by
the company we keep. The almost Wig
ilance, therefore. should De exercised
on this important subject. The great
power and force of custom, forms an
argument against keeping bad COM
pany. However shocked we may be
at the first approaches of vice. this
shocking appearance goes off upon an
intimacy with it. Custom will soon
render the most disgustful object ia.
miliar to our view; and this is, indeed,
a kind provision of nature, to render
labor, and toll, and danger, which are
the lot of man, more easy to him. The
well disposed youth, entering first in
to bad company, is shocked and dis
gusted at every turn at what his sight
beholds, and what he is compelled to
hear. The good principles which he
had imblbed ring in his ear an alarm
ing lesson against the wickedness of
his companions. But, alas! this SEN
sibility is Of short continuance. The
next jo!vial meeting makes the horrid
picture Of yesterday more easily en-
dured. Rectitude is soon thought q
severe rulc-an inconvenient restraint:
few pangs of con science now and then
whisper to him that he once had bet
ter wal VS. and thoughts. But even
these by degrees die away, and he who
at first was shocked even at the ap-
pearanee of vice, may be formed by
custom into a profigate leader of VII
Icious pleasures.

Very Different from the Man Ones I'M

If, meeting him without knowing
who he was, had been asked to divine
MS profession, I would have said he
was a retired army general or a pro-
lessor of physics and mathematics or a
cabinet ofticer-never an artist, SAYS

OF Jules Verne. He does not show the

somewhat of Verdi's build, with a Sc

manners, the imprint of great sincerity
in every f1eeting manifestation of feel
ing and thought, the language, the
bearing, the manner of dress of a man
who considers appearances of absolute
~ no account. My first sensation after
the pleasure of seeing him was one of
stupefaction. Apart from the friendly
look and the affable lemeanor I could
recognize nothing in common with the
Verne who stood before me and the
one that had a place in my imagina-
ton. My wonder even increased when.
induced to speak about his works, he
spoke of them with an distracted air
as he would have done of some one
else's writings, or, rather, of things in
which entered no merit of his-as he
would have spoken of a collection of
engravings or coins he had ACQUIRED
and with which he occupied himself
from the necessity of doing something
rather than from any passion for the
art.

HAPPY REUNION,
"A iouchlng Scene and Story in Paris,
France.

"A Touching Scene and Story in Paris,
France.
most touching scene was witnessed
IN the streets of Paris recently, says an
exchange. A little girl about years
OF age was rolling her hoop; the hoop
rolled up against a gentleman sitting
on a bench and the child, going up to
MN TO get it, looked at him involuntar-
1ly and suddenly cried out, "Oh, if there
isn't the gentleman of mammals minia-
ture!" This exclamation, of course. at
vracted the attention of passers-by and
OF a young woman, who Immediately
came up to the child and, giving a
glance at the gentleman, tainted away.
He appeared stupefied and stared from
the child to her mother as if he was
losing his senses, but when he saw the
latter fainting on the ground he caught
her up, clasped her in his arms and
covered her with kisses. She soon re-
gained her senses and fell weeping on
the gentleman's bosom. An officer.
coming up, led them off with the little
girl and, calling a carriage, put them
in; but the bystanders had already
learned their history from their differ
ent EXPLANATIONS. Five years before
they were married, with every prospect
of happiness before them, but the hus-
band. being young, was led astray bv
dissipated associates, and becoming
jealous of his wife treated her so I'M
kindly that she finally left him and
took a humble lodging in different
quarter of the city, where she soon
after gave birth to little daughter and
since that time had supported herself
and child by her needle. The husband
had sought his wife in vain and had at
last come to the sad conclusion that
she had put an end to her existence.
This thought had such an effect upon
his mind as to cure him not only of
his jealousy but OF his vices, and he had
since been living most exemplary life,
consecrating all his thought: to the
memory of his lost wife.

The Willy Raven.

The following anecdote. communicate
ed by Mr.. R. Ball to the author of
Thomsons Irish Birds, is a curious H.
Illustration of the remarkable sagacitv
OF the raven. A tame raven, kept by
schoOlbOys, was very attentive in
watching their cribs or bird traps, and
when bird was taken, the raven en-
deavored to catch it by turning back
top OF the trap with it's beak, but in so
doing the bird always escaped, as the
raven could not let go the crib in time
to seize. After several vain attempts
of this kind the raven, seeing another
bird caught, instead of going at once
to the trap, went to another tame raven
and induced it to accompany him.
When the second raven lifted up the
crib, the other bore the poor captive off
in triumph. : .&". =. =. -. IL.

PeCuliar Suit in Indiana.

A peculiar suit was filed in Goshen.
Ind, the other day, wherein Solomon r.
Slaughter of Ravenna, Ohio, appears
as plaintiff, and John B. Slaughter, a
well-to-do marble dealer of Goshen. az
defendant. In 1868 the defendant left
the. parental roof at Ravenna, Ohio, to
seek his fortune in the West. Before
leaving he was given $500, for which
he relinquished all interest in his fath-
er's estate, also agreeing to pay 6 Dar
cent on the $500 until tho death OF his
father. A couple OF years ago the old
gentleman died, leaving quite an es-
tate. This suit is for the per cent
interest on the $500, amounting to
81, 200.
