Paintinh Turkexs, Leas.

Among the many trades which exist, but which are not as a rule filled up in the census papers, are the 'fakers" of all kinds, from the manufacturer of antique furniture and brasses to the bird fancier who can pass sparrow as a canary. Perhaps the most curious form of 'faking'' is that which deals with turkeys, dead or alive. and which is principally practiced in France. The age of turkey is told chiefly by it's legs and beak. These are filed and treated with special varnish by the "faSer'' two or three times a week be- fore the bird is to be soid- It will then, to all appearance, have renewed it's youth. and it's owner is able to obtain a much higher price. The freshness of the dead birds is also largely told by the color of the legs, and for this, too, varnish is used The varnish was the discovery of Frenchman.

What Makes a Nation.

believe there is no permanent
 greatness to a nation except it be
 based upon morality. I do not care for military greatness or military re- nown. I care for the condition of the people among whom I live. Crowns, coronets, miters, military display. the ponnp of war, wide colonies and a huge empire are, in my view, all tri- f1es, light as air and not worth consid- ering unless with them you can have fair share of comfort, contentment and happiness among the great body of the people. Palaces, baronial cas- ties, great halls, stately mansions, de ret make nation The nation in ev- cry country dwells in the cottage, and unless the light of your constitution can shine there, unless the beauty of your legislation and the excellence of your statesmanship are impressed there on the feelings and condition of the people, rely upon it you have yet to learn the duties of government John Bright.

Funny Peasant Notions.

The astronomical lore of the Russian peas-ntry of the north, center and south of the empire is limited to a knowledge of ths existence of the sun and the moon and stars, of three con stellations, of the Milky way, of one planet, of comets. shooting stars and
 neteors. The sun is to all a mysteri- ous and beneficent being.
 The moon, covered with ice and snow, is ever in flight from it's broth CT, the sun. Upon its disk is portray ed the murder of Abel by Cain, the latter being done to death with pitchfork. The lunar rays are malig nant, and evil comes to those who sleep unprotected from them. The horns of the moon afford information as to the wea ther.
 The stars are lamps or candles light ed and extfnguished by the Eternal. A shooting star is the soul of one just passed away. Comets are heralds of war and famine. No Russian ever forgets that the Napoleonic war fol lowed the great comet of 1s11.-Ex- change.

March of the pin,no Hour.

The hodr of dining has advanced with the centuries. Froissart mentions waiting on the Duke of Lancaster at 5 in the afternoon after he had supped and was about to go to bed. and the preface of the Heptameron shows that the queen of Navarro dine6- at 10 o'clock in the morning. From the Northumberland Household Book. dated 1512, we learn that the ducal family rose at 6, breakfasted at 2, dined at 10, supped at 4 and retired for the night at 9. Louis XIV. did not
 dine till 12, while his contemporaries, Cromwell and Charles IT,, took the meal at l. In 100 the hour was ad- vanced to 2, in 1751 we find the Duchess of Somerset dining at 8, and in 1760 Cowper speaks Of o'clock as the fashionable time. After the battle of Waterloo the dinner hour was a1- tered to 6, from which time it has ad- vanced by half hour stages to 8. So that in 400 years the dinner hour had gradually moved through at least ten hours of the day-London Spectator.

Tine Eirst Mountaineer.

A Munich paper has been searching the records of history to discover who were the first mountain climbers. It gives the palm to Moses for his as- cent of Mount Sinai and rules out Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat because he made it in a boat There is sufficient evidence to show that the ancients thought mountain climbing sheer madness. No one in the time of Horace or Polybius wanted to go

Ether.

Ether was known to the earliest chemists. Nitric ether was discovered by Kunkel in 1881 and rnuriatic ether, from the chloride of tin, in 175e, by Courtanvaux. Acetic ether was first prepared by Gay-Lussac. The bened- cent discovery that ether is capable of rendering one insensibfe to pain is due to Drs. Jackson and Morton, who, about the year 1846, introduced 1t into the practice of surgery. Some claim that as between the two men the hon. ors are about easy. Apart from the blessedness of the discovery of anaes- thesia, it is impossible to estimate the value of the discovery to surgery as science. It enables the delicate opera ton that would otherwise be impossi- ble.-New York American.

Arabiar, snuH.

Snuff in Arabia is not used as it is with us, although one occasionally sees snuffer, but the snuff is ordinarily made into a pill of about the size of a robins egg and is placed between the lower front lip and the teeth. This manner of using snuff is common among the laboring class, and almost every coofie that is met in the street has his lower lip puffed out by a ball of snuff behind it. Arabian snuff is prepared out of the ordinary powdered tobacco, unrefined sugar and potash.
