When once he gets hold of the thief’s pants, he makes breaches. A barking dog never bites; that is to say, when he begins to bite he ‘stops bark- ing. Conversely, a biting dog never barks, and for similar reasons. The hair of a dog will cure his bite. That is & cure-ious superstition among hair- brained young men who are fast going to the dogs. Dogs are dentists by profession, They insert teeth without charge. The sea dog loves his bark. Did you ever see a dog that didn't ? The bark of a tree is unlike the bark of adog. Even a dogwood know this, Dogs are not always kind, though there are many kinds of dogs. Every dog has his day, although dog days last but u few weeks in the year.

Look stead.ty at a bright object, keep fi » oyes immovably on it for a short time, and then close them. An image of the object remains ; it becomes, in fact, visible to the closed eyes. The vividness and duration of such impression vary considerably with different individuals, and the power of re- taining them may be cultivated. Beside this sort of retinal image thus impressed, there is another kind of visual image that may be obtained by an effort of memory, Certain adepts of mental arithmetic use the “mind’s eye” as asubstitute for slate nd pencil by “holding in visual memory pictures of the figures upon which they are operating, and thcse of their results, In niy youthful days I was acquainted with an eccentric old man, who then lived at Kilburn Priory, where he surrounded himself with curious old furniture, reput- ed to have originally telonged to Cardinal Wolsey, and which, as I was told, he be- queafhied to the Queen at his death. He was the then celebrated, but now forgotten, “Memory Thompson,” who, in his es days, was a town traveler (for a brewery, I remember rightly,) and who trained him- self to the performance of wonderful feats of eye memory. He could close his eyes and picture within himself a panorama of Oxford street and other parts of London, in which picture every inseription over every shop was o perfect and reliable that he could describe and certify to the names and occupations of the shopkeeping inhab- itants of all the houses of these streets at certain dates, when postoffice directories were not as they now are, Although Memory Thompson is forgotten, his speciul faculty in‘{ust now receiving some atten- tion, and. it is proposed to specially culti- vate it in elementary schools by placing objects before the pupils for o given time, then t: r them away and requirlog the pupil to druw them. That such a faculty exists and may be of great service is un- questionable.

Almost every green thing was killed, and the fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and Massachusetts, and ten inches in Maine July was accompanied with frost and ice, On the 5th ice was formed of the thic of window glass in New York, New 0 lang and Pennsylvania, and corn was near- ly all destr in certain sections In Xl. ust ice formed half an inch thick.

It is arded as u remarkable fact that before railways were extended to the Pacifie, the country lying hetween the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mouitains was subject to an almost contiuuons drought. Since then, however, the country has been visited with frequent falls of rain. What produced the change? is the question. Some suggest that it is_due to a change in the electrical state of the atmosphere, pro- duced by the conduction of the subtle fluid into the region by the iron rails. Others nasert that it is caused by the atmospheric disturbances arising from the frequent passing and repassing of trains. It is shown that up to 1854 the United States had been [n'rindu'nll{7 visited by great and general droughts, but since that year there has been no such wrsitation j or,in other words, that the building of such a vast network of cailways as has been constructed in the vast quarter of a century has had the ef- fect of promoting the fall of rain. Since the general introduction of railways in Europe, also, there has been no drought such «s previously at short intervals caused wwidespread distress. In the case of Eng- land it is remarked that although the eli- mate has been always humid there has been a growing excess of rainfull during tho period of railway building, until now she gets far more than is beneficial to the <rops. This bhas been noticeable to sn almos! alurming degree in the past few years. We give these conclusions for what they may be worth, and merely as showing Me the duif. of current discussion on this voint. — Tmpurit Ice. The populor delusion that wuter in (h cocess of freezing somehow eliminates an; impurity it may contain, or that the vital ity of animal or vegetable germsis destroy- ed by the cold, is now very gencrally o ploded. An American n: scopically examining fragments of ice taker “rom various canals and ponds. took only such specimens as appeared clean, and were quite transparent to the eye. C melting them and subjecting to magnify- ing powers, varying up to nine hundred diameters, he says that vegetable tissue and confervoid growth were in most cases ob- servable at once. He found no instance which animalculm were present in an nctive state after freezing, but after heingallowed to stand for a while in a moderate fempera ture, the water presented monads whose movements were easily distinguished with a magnifying power of from two hun- dred to four hundred dinmeters. After a e, conferva: were observed growing and ng form similar to the nests occupied by the young of the Paramecium, common in stagnant water. The result of the ob- servations is to prove beyond question that freezing does not in any way eliminate impurity or prevent the subsequent devel- opment of animal or vegetable gen This is merely a confirmatien ot what has already been asserted and yroved be- fore, but the mattes of such importunce that it is not likely to be arguea with un- necessary frequency, Many persons who will look askance at a glass of unfiltered water will not hesitate 10 cool th drink by dropping a knob ice into it, That from ponds and canals is, of course, ostensihly gathered for non-dietetic purposes; but it i8 to be feared that in hot weather ice is ice, and that much risk of mischief is often incurred.—London Globe. e —— The Origin of Familiar Words. The word “quiz” to make fun of, or poke (an at a person, was the coinage of a theat- rical manager in Dublin, who at a drink- ins party with his friends one Saturday night, when the conyersation turned upon the subject of words, offered to bet the wine that he conld then and there coin a word which would be in the mouths of all Dublin the next day. The bet being taken and the party dispersed, the manager called up his call-boys and runners, gave them pieces of chalk,and ordered them to run all over the city, chalking the word“quiz” on everybidy’s shutter and fence they came to. This was dono, and as a matter of course, the new word was in everybody's mouth the next day. The manager won his bet, and his word is now in all respect- able dictionaries. Tho slang expression for death, “kicking the bucket,” had its origin from one Bolso- ver, who, in England & great while ago committed suicide by standing on a buck- et till he kicked the bucket from under him. The word “bumper,” meaning a full drink when friengs are drinking, is a cor- ruption of the toust offered to the Pope, when the Catholic religion was in the as cendant in England—au bon pere, aralist has T from o Lincoln, in England, during the reign of Henry VII.

There is o point worth at- tending to in the treatment of all head- aches. See that the head is elevated at night, and the pillow hard, for, if it be soft, the head sinks into it and becomes hot, which with some people is enough to pro- yoko an attack in the morning if sleep has been long and, s There 15 no radical cure for the heaves in horses. 'The primary cause of this res- piratory and air-passage affection may be attributed to indigestion in its early stage, A slight cough in all these nttacks is gen- erally present, which develops n wheeziny sound, in some instances resembling akind | of grant. If the attack is not arrested early in its progress the subject soon be- comes a confirmed dyspeptic; then he wiil usually manifest a voracious appetite, star- ing coat, enlarged abdomen (tympanic), spare muscles, n dull, miserable look, the head droops, he is unwilling to travel fast, and when urged to do so, especially up | slightly inclined places, becomes exhausted und soon ‘“used up.

I imag- ined, too, that, it exhaled an odor different somewhat from the orange groves of Tahiti, Had I not been told that I was on a guano island, I would not have known it fron the surroundings. Instead of being roc the soil was mellow and dark, and_ every- where vegetation was most luxuriant, The air was remarkably clear and pure. Dur- ing a walk around the island 1 then learn- ed that there are two kinds of guano; or, rather, that of certain quulities which all | guano possesses, some of these qualities predominate in that found in u given local- ity, while gnuno taken from islunds difitr- | ently located possesses in a much stronger degre other essentials, Thus tha of the consts of South Amtrica, exposed to the rays of a tropical sun, where the sur- face of the surface of the land is never «ooled, und where rain seldom or ne fulls, possesses the strengest wmi omu\ roperties. Not only are the excretions flirt 5 deposited there, but the birds them- selves come there to die; and eggs bave frequently been taken out a little below the crusts which form over these deposits that are almost pure anmonia. The guano of these islands has a strong, ungent odor, aud is white and light brown in color. But the guano of the islands of the Southern Pacific is made up of decom- posed coral, forming mostly phosphates of lime and magnesia. It is entirely inodor~ ous, and of a dark brown color, resembling well l)ul\n-riu-nl loam, It is belieyed that the birds, which in (arge nunihers inhabit these islands, living a8 they do almost entirely on fish, deposit phosphoric acid on the coral, and thus form the phosphates which give to guano its value It is separated from the coral in the fol- To “dun,” 10 press for moniey due, comes | Joe Dunn, a famous bailiff of | Jowing manner: There are quite a force of natives employed, whe gather the carth in | put down (Mine de Plomb), and the sereen it in the same manner that fine coal is separated from the The ser are about cight feet ,and the iron gauze covering them . allowig only the guane or fine por- the ecarth to pass through, and | 1axge heaps, and the tions of leaving the eoral in the screens.

The number of colored ons to each 100,000 whites is 15,153, nst 14,528 in 1870 The greatest pro- portion of colored to white is in South Caroling, where three-fifths of the whole are colored ; in Louisiana and Mississippi half to three-fifths are colored : in Alabama, | District. of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia the colored form one-third to half the total; in Arkan- sas and Tennessee, a fourth to a thivd. The least proportion among the former slave states is in West Virginia, where there are but 4,355 to 100,000 whites, and in Missou- ri, where there are but 7,168, Outside of the former slave states the proportion of negroes is very small, Between 1870 and 1880, in the United States as a whole, there has heen o gain of 625 colored on an assum= ed hasis of 100,000 whites, eat relative %guhln during the decade have apparently heen made in the Southern or former slave holding states. Of nine of' the states which ained, cight stand at the head of the list, having nMde relative gains of 944 to nearly 11,000. It is helieved by the census officers, however, that these apparent gains are due, in a great measure, to the imperfections of the census of 1870. Of the former slave- states which have lost, Texas and Florida lead. Both of these states received heavy white immigration, which more than over- balanced whatever gain in the colored pop- ulation may have been made. ‘The move: ment of blacks in the Northern and West- ern states has apparently been of little comparative account. The migration of negroes has not attained such dimensions s to be perceptible here. The states fron I the exodus principally took place, Mississippi, Louisiana and Nortk Carolina, lave all apparently gained heavily in the relative proportion of blacks, while Kansas, to which the major part went, has lost in proportion to the increase of l,imlmlu(iuu. Indiana bas gained slightly.

Of course a Jamp contains no gus, but mediat. f'un hting the lamp consumption of’ ol hegins, soon leay- ing o space for gas, which commences to form as the lump warms up, and after burning a short time sufficient gas will ac- cumulate to form an explosion. The gas in o lamp will only explode when ignited. this respect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or inferior oil is always the most danger- ous The flame is communicated to the gas in the following manner: The wick tube in the lamp burner is made larger than the wick which is to pass through it. It would not do to have the wick work tightly in the burner; on the contrary, it is esscntial that it move up and down with perfect ease. In this way it is unavoidable that space in the tube is left along the side of the wick sufficient for the flame from the burner to pass down into the lamp and ex- plode the gas. Many thing#oceur to cause the flame to pass down the wick and ex- plode the lamp. 1. A lamp may be stand- 1g on the table or mantle, and a slight puft of air from the open window or door may cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table and ex- plode instantly. 3. A lamp is taken into the entry where there is a draught, or out of doors, and an explosion ensu 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight, of stairs, or is raised quickly to place it on the man- tle, resulting in an expiosion.. In thesein- stances the mischief is done by the air moyement, either by suddenly checking th draught or forcing air down the chimney agamst the flame. 5. Blowing down the chimney to extinguish the flame is a fre- quent cause of explosion. 6. Lamp explo- sions have been caused by using a chimney Droken off ut the top or that has a piece broken out of theside, whereby the draught is variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Some- times o thoughtless person puis s small wick into a large burner, thus leaving con- siderable space along the edges of the wick, 8. An old burner, with its air-draughts closed up, which rightfully should be thrown away, is sometimes continued in use and the final result is an explosion. - —— Early Map of 11 Hon, Elihu B, Washburne presented to the city of Galena, Illinois, two old and curious maps, which were picked np by him while in Paris, The first_one is & map of “Canada, or New France,” and was published in Paris in 1703, thirty years after the discovery of the Mississippi iver at the mouth of the Wisconsin, 1673, b Joliet and Marquette.
