Ingenious Piece OF Work.

The following ingenious piece of po-
etry is said to have been circulated in
Philadelphia during the occupation of
the British in the War of the Revolu
ton. Its author is unknown. Its pc
culisrity consists in the manner in
which it may be read in three different
ways. viz:
C) Let the whole be read in the or
der in which it is written (2) then
read the lines downwards on the left
of each comma in every line; (3) in
the same manner on the right of each
comma BY the first reading it will be
observed that the Revolutionary cause
is deprecated, and lauded by the 9th
ers:
"Ilark! bark! the trumpet sounds, the
din of wars alarms,
Ger seas and solid grounds, doth call us
to arms
Who for King George doth stand, their
honors soon will shine:
Their ruin is at hand, who with the
Congress join.
The acts of Parliament, in them l much
delight;
| hate their cursed intent, who for the
Congress fight.
The Tories of the day, they are my daily
toast:
They soon will sneak away, who inde-
pendence boast
Who non-resistance hold, they have my
hand and heart;
May they for slaves he sold who act a
Whggish part

Lincoln's Education.

Lincoln was hungry for an educa-
pansion, and, because many volumes
were denied him, he appreciated all
the more the precious books which he
walked many miles to obtain, and
which ne read before the log fire when
ali the rest of the household were
asleep. There was no large library of
books staring him in the face, bidding
for attention, and distracting his
choice. All the energy of his nature
was concentrated on that single Life
of Washington" He threw his whole
being into it, and devoured it, as only
a soul thirsting for knowledge can

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting of re-
peated layers of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs of disease that may be propa-
gated in the very absorbent and de
caying mass of flour paste, paper
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent
health officers and sanitarians, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these santarians
recommend Alabastlne as a durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: This is a
very important question, and, as it
costs nothing to avoid this danger
why take any chances"
How much of the alarming spread
of smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?

Great, indeed, is the amount of work
which a busy bee will do in day.
Every head of clover consists of about
go flower tubes, each of which contains
a very small quantity of sugar. Bees
will often visit hundred different
heads of clover before retiring to the
hive and in order to obtain the sugar
necessary for a load must, therefore.
thrust their tongues into about G,O0O
different flowers. A bee will make 20
trips day when the clover patch is

flowers in the course of single Gays

We know that cats are fond of fish,

own catching. Their owners never

sinking under the water ten or fifteen
feet. These dogs are used for drawing
sledges, but they arc tremendous hunt
ers. When they see a deer or other
game, no matter how many sledges are
behind them, off they go like mad.
Their owners know they are likely to
get beyond control at this time, and
each dog is fastened in the harness in
such a way that one little pull of
particular string by the driver will set
him loose, so when the dogs catch

driver just pulls the string and off
they go.

On next Monday, the 18th, instant,
conference between the oyster Com
mission of Louisiana and Mississippi
will be held "A New Orleans, At the re-
quest of Governor Longino. This meet
ing was asked for by the Governor OF
Mississippi, with II view tomapping out
new lines upon which the oyster and
fishermen Of Mississippi could operate
pending the decision to be rendered by
the United States Supreme Court upon
the case now before that body fixing the
boundary line between Louisiana and
Mississippi.
The New Orleans Picayune says:
When the first conference WAS held tho
Louisiana Commission granted poanis-
sion to the Mississippi oysteimen to- fish
in the waters OF Isle OF Pete. This par
ticular stretch OF the Louisiana marshes
has been the undisputed property of
Louisiana since the State has been a
State. This fact was recognized by the
United States Government in their sur
vey OF 1910, and in the swamp land act
of 1850, when these lands we're marked
down by Louisiana as her property and
approved by the United States Govern
ment.
The Mississippi oystermen were grant
cd the right to fish oysters in Isle OF Pete
and Grand Pass only, in spirit of COM
promise.
Mr.. John Dymond, Jr.. of the Louis
lana Commission, stated that the con-
ference was beinglheld purely on request
Of the Governor OF Mississippi. The
members OF the Louisiana Commission
are very firm in their opinion. They
have, never figured to make increased
concessions, and what will be the out
come OF the approaching conference IN 9
matter which only circumstances can de-
velop.
/ The Louisiana Commission is always
anxious to listen to any argument tina
Mississippi wishes to make. Governo
Heard will also be present at the meeting
and Governo Longinor will also be pres
ent with the members of the Mississip
