and the outside world. During the
nfteen months from October. 1863. t o
December. 1854. nearly 0 blockade

Homs Confederates considered VIII

sven OF more value to the life Of the
Confederacy than the possession Of
Richmond. With Wilmington and the
Cape Fear river open, b supplies that
would have reached the Confederate
armies would have enabled them to
maintain the contest for years. The
blockade was . failure, and Fort Fish

SPEED OF ANIMALS.


The Greyhound Leads, Followed nv
the Horse and the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
corning the relative speed OF animals
appeared In the London Field:
The fastest animal we have Ii the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare. and
then comes the good, BIC, bold dog
fox, which is a fine galloper on good
going. In comparison with any OF
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fat turf Is as slow as man
moving grass for haymaking. But IL
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
ON rough clods, whether melted or not,
a hare cannot run at all; hence she gen.
orally takes care not to 90 there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally lies In her form near the fringe OF
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind logs q hare
can beat anything up a steep hill. A
foxhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay plow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter, though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion OF good
horscman, who avoids cxhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run of eight miles within the hour
In either of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body or the
field behind, but 1t would be easy to a
riding man on galloping horse when
the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.

A tiger once invited a goat TO dinner.
The goat was tickled to death at the
notice of the noble beast and wore his
spike tailed coat and link sleeve Tut
tons in token Of his appreciation. Can
/ help you to some of this venison
steak?" the tiger asked the goat very
cordially. The goat did not eat venison
steak, but he dissembled very cleverly
and preserved smiling exterior MY
physician" he protested, positively
forbids venison steak" There was
nothing else on the table, and the poor
goat was compelled TO sit idly by while
the tiger devoured a hearty repast.
But the goat was not disposed to de-
prive himself Of the sweets of revenge.
He accordingly pressed the tiger to
dine with him the following evening.
"Can | help you," sweetly inquired the
host, "to some Of this stewed tomato
cans, with brown paper sauce?" mo,
thank you," rejoined the tiger, ''my
doctor forbids." so sorry" murmured
the goat in secret glee. II fear you
will have only an unsatisfactory meal"
"Oh, i shall do very WELL" protested
the tiger. Whereat he fell upon and de-
voured the goat himself. Alas" ex-
claimed the latter with his dying
breath, 81 was too funnyr' This fable
teaches that it Is perfectly proper to
take an insult from some people with
out resenting it. 1t Is all matter Of
judgment

1t does not seem very clear at what
period the legal age for members OF
parliament was fixed ut twenty-one.
1t Is, however, certain that In the
relgns OF Elizabeth and James /. boys
OF sixteen and seventeen occupied seats
in the house of commons. The poet
Waller took his seat as an NJ. p. before
he was seventeen. Charles James Fox
took his seat at eighteen and Chester
field before he came of age. This, how
ever. was clearly irregular, because 1t
is recorded that Chesterfield was
threatened with a penalty Of $500 for
sitting and voting in parliament while
under the legal age If he did not cease
his attacks upon the government. Lord
John Russell also sat before he was
twenty-one, and he seems to have been
the last OF the parliamentary minors
An act OF William III, passed In 1885,
made the election OF a person under
twenty-one void, but the act was not
very strlngently enforced. - London

CONNECTS THE BRAIN.

The Organ That Enables the Hemi-
spheres to Act I'm Harmony.
Near the base of every well organ
ized human brain there Is situated
curious little spongy body called the
corpus callosum. This all important
little organ consists of double chain
of white nerve fibers, and it IL through
these that the two portions Chemi-
spheres) of the brain are enabled to act
in harmony by being continually
brought into anatomical and physiolog-
ical relations with each other.
Several years ago a well known Phil
adelphia physician and surgeon, DR..
A. III. Stevens, made the announcement
that, in his belief. the corpus callosum
was the seat Of the soul. His peculiar
ideas were given quite an airing
through the press at that time, but the
whole theory fell pretty fiat when Dr.
A. #. Sawyer of San Francisco proved
that n certain west coast worthy had
survived twenty years after having the
entire corpus callosum shot out OF his
thought tank and that another had
lived eleven years after sustaining q
similar injury. The psychologists were
pretty well agreed that n mans life
would terminate the moment his soul
made It's exit ON the lead Of pistol
cartridge IL was these well attested
cases of men living after losing the cor
pus callosum that caused DIR. Stevens
"soul theory" to relapse into obscurity.

Winter Fishfnr.

Winter fishing has one merit, which
all true sportsmen viii recognize as
such-namely, considerable uncertain
ty. One day you may fish certain wa
ters-whether deep or shallow, whether
weedy or free-and well nigh draw d
blank, while the very next day the
same waters will give rich finny re-
turns. What is more strange Ia that
not seldom on the same day there win
be good luck in different depths and
varying waters OF the same lake or
pond, and observation through the clear
black Ice of early winter or late au-
tumn has convinced the writer that
these mystic fishy moods OF biting I'm
winter are almost or quite independent
of the movements OF : the schools OF
bait fish. About all that can be said
on such points in the way Of general
suggestion Is that winter fish bite usu-
ally better on a mild day than q cold
one, best OF all during a gentle thaw;
that they take the bait more freely
under thin ice-that is, in early winter
than after the ice has thickened, and
that they appear to be quite unaffected
by noise, such as the rumble of skates
or the gentle thunder OF the settling
ice. 1t is certain that some OF the best
strings of n lifetime have been taken
when the fun Of skating could be join
ed with that OF watching the lines

old Mirror supcrstitions.

The mistrust of the ghostly mirror lin
SO old and SO far spread that we meet
with 1t In the folklore or every land.
An old tradition warns us that the new
moon, which brings us such good for
tune when we look at 1t In the calm
evening sky, carries a message or evil
to those who see 1t first reflected In III
looking glass For such unlucky NOR
tails Ii Is said that the lunar virus dis
tills slow poison and corroding care.
And, again, 1t Is declared that the
friends who glance at their reflections
standing side by side are doomed to
quick dissension. In Scandinavia the
Swedish girl who looks into her glass
by candlelight is told that she risks
the loss Of her lover. One superstition
In this connection that seems to be al
most universal Is that 1t is very un-
lucky for a bride to see herself In
mirror after her toilet is completed.
IL she be discreet she will turn away
from that fair picture which pleases
her so well and then draw on her glove
or have some tiny ribbon, flower or
Jewel fastened to her gown that the
sour fates may be appeased and evil
turned away from the threshold.
