How a Porker Lived Off His Own Fat for Five Monthi—Dr. Shoe- maker's Tumor—A Mon- Kkey's Suicide, A Circus Steed's Pathotio Death, The emotional life of the horse is re- marks) There are instances on rec: ord where the death of the horse has been traced directly to grief. One in- stance is called to mind which occurred more than twenty years ago, says the Western Sportsman. A circus had beon performing in the little town of Union- ville, Pa., when one of the trained horses sprained one of his legs so that he could not travel. He was taken to the hotel and putin a box stall. The log was bandaged and he was made as comfortable as possible. He ate his food and was apparently contented until about midnight, when the circus began moving out of town. Then he became restlessand tramped and whined. Asthe caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he was heing deserted, and his anxiety and distress becaume pitiful. He would stand with his ears pricked in an attitude of intense listen- ing, und then as his ears caught the sounds of the retiring wagons he would rush as best he could with his in- jured leg from one side of the stall to the other, pushirg at the door with his nose and making every effort to escape. The stableman, who was a stranger to him, tried to soothe him, but to no purpose. He would not be comforted. Long af all the sounds of the circus had ce; g agitation continued. The sweat poured from him in streams and he quivered in every part of his body. Fiunally the stableman went to the {Im\sc, wolce up the proprictor, and told him h ieved the LUI‘HU would die if some of the cir- cus horses were not brought back to keep him compuny. At aoout duylight the proprietor mounted a hot and rode after the circus. . He overtook it ten or twelve miles away, and the room who had charge of the injured orse returned with him. When they reached the stable the horse was dead* The stablemun said that he remained for nearly an hour perfectly still, and with every sense apparently strained to tension, and then, without making a sign, fell and died with scarcely a struggic siderable ex- the suicide of ys in J.

He became violent this morning, and to-night was sent to the state in- sane asylum at Tuscaloosa, While under the influence of the drug he, in Decem- ber last, performed upon himself prob- ably the most unique and most remark- able surgical operation ever recorded.

A fight between a turkey hen and a rattlesnake is probubly a very strange contest aud something we suppose very few over saw, says the Talmage Trib- une; yet such a battle was witnessed one day last week by Mr. A. Edmisten on his farm severzl miles south town. Among the fowl posses this gentleman is a brooding turkey hen with a nest of twenty eggs in o young hedge not far from the house. Vhile riding along the fence one morn- ing, he noticed the hen leave her nest and act as though she was fighting something. Riding near he found she had attacked u rattlesnake which she ovidently feared would rob her nest. She would make & charge on the rep- tile and peck at it. while the snake would coil and strike back. After striking, the hon would sometimes grab it back of the head, shake and throw it quite a distance. Once she hrew it over her back nearly a rod be- d her. Feering that the snake might bite the hen, Mr. Fdmisten has- tily tied his horse and started to take a %nmd in the battle, but before he reached them the snake struck the hen, biting her on the side of the head at the edge of the flesh and bill. The hen, before so courageous, now seemed to loose all courage, for she commenced to run buckwards, dragging the snake a short distance. After she escaped from it she dropped her head and snenked off to her nest. Quickly dispatching the snake he fixed a salt and soda pcultice, and bound it on the wound, The snake was over two and a half feet long and a very large one. As to the hen, she she showed no bad effects from the bite. Yesterday 1S C citement o by F. I, Maybury has returned from a three month’s trip in the south. He has a pair of canary birds, which have mated at his house for a long time. The female bird has laid eggs quite often, but before they were hatched she has invariably pecked them opeu with her bill. Last Sunday morning, says the Grand Rapids Democrat, his little girl came running to him and said that HPete” (menning the male bird) was laying an egg. He thought she meant the fiamalo‘ of course, and hardly no- taiced what she said, but shortly after he happened to be passing the cage, when he wus sur- prised to see ‘‘Pete’ actually laying an egg. The bird secemed in great agony. Mer, Maybury chloroformed him and he died shortly afterwards. ‘‘Pete’s” body was eut open and it was found that he had actually died in his effort to lay the egg. The shell was not hard, but the egg was otherwise perfect. Mr, May- bury says that ke will vouch for the facy that the bird was a male, because it has always been its mate thut has laid the eggs, and no other birds excepting these two have been in the cage. He says he has heard of roosters achieving such a feat, but a canary ‘‘rooster’’ never. Fat has its value, and here is an 1n- stance duly recorded in the municipal | reports of the city of Dover, says the Liverpool Courier: On December 14, 1810, a pig was bur- ied 1n its sty through the fall of part of the cliff under Dover castle. The sky consisted of a cave in the rock about six feet square and boarded in the front, and when the accident happened the pig was in good condition, weighing about one hundred and six iv Five months afterward, on . 1811, some workmen who were engaged in clearing away the debris of the fallen cliff mentioned to Dr. Man- tell, n well-known geologist of the day and a fellow of the Linnwan society, that they were sure they heard the pig whining. He thought the statement incredible, but ordered them to clear away the chalk as fast as they could, and sure enough, when they got to thesty, the ig was there, weak and emaciated, allen to only a fourth of his former weight, but dlive, I 160 days he had been strictly self-supporting, living on the stores of fat he had laid up in more prosperous times. There were, how- ever, evidences of his sufferings in the wood that shut in the sty, being nibbled away in places, while he had heked the sides of the cave smooth in his attempt to obtain the moisture exuding from the rock. John Thompson, of Kentucky, one of the Harrodsburg twins, told me another sterday about the mixing up of tity with that of his brother er in the New York C. told me be was sitting in the barber’s just off the hous: representutiv one day, when Con- gressman Murphy of To e along and stood heside him. “Phi id he, “I want you to tell me how the bill is getting on?”? “Of course T knew he mennt Phil’s whisky bill,” said John, “and [ told him it was getting on pretty He g well, but 1 wished he would dr few votes for it.” I knew he few hayseed members about and T supposed he could swing them intoany line. “Well,” said Murphy, “I will 'do what I can for you, but you know it will be worth something. There’'s my Hennepin canal bill. It} needs o lat of boosting. So if you scrateh my back I'll seratch yours.” " T told him, of course, that that would be all right. He went away happy, and when Phil’s bill came up Murphy’s friends were all on the rig‘\t side, but when Murphy’s bill came along, even Phil himseif voted against it, for he never knew a word about the deal,” said John, *‘I forgot to tell him any- thing about it.” The ancient Japan custom of hart- kari, or happy dispatch, has received its death-blow. For centu sual for any exalted Japanese y who may have mortally offend yvercign to receive a polite official intimation to the is suicide will be pleasing to the author until recently it has been the un ing practice for the offender to s esce resignedly, and, after summoning his relatives around him, to formally disembowel himself in their presence. If the culprit nappened to he of excep- tionally high rank the sovereign would, as a mark of honor, send him « jeweled sword with which to operate upon him- self. Bt all these things are now of the pust. Not long ago the wikado was griovously hurt by the words and conduct of a high court offi- cial. The man was an old and | very valued servant of the crown; but his crime was unpardonable. Next day, | thercfore, an officer brought him the ! atal sword, u magnificent weapon, with a blade inlaid with gold and a handle incrusted with dimmnonds, together with a sympathetic intimation that his early death would be regarded us a benefit to the empire in generaland to the mikado in particular, The culprit received the sword with all proper respect, but as soon as the emissary had departed the wily Japan in” whose mind Buro- pean habits of thought have evidentiy taken a firm root—walked down to the quay, went on board a smull steamer that was bound for Havre, and upon ching Paris incontinently sold his sword of honor for £6,000 Asturgeon measuring over five feot in length and weighing 283 pounds was on exhibition yesterday at a store in Washingtion avenue, Newark, N. says the New York Star.

The three men were lying in the bottom of the boat, and the latter, go- ing up the river propelled apparently by no visible means, attracted the at- tention of Andrew Scharfensbery, who was out on the river in his boat. While Scharfensberg was waiting for the curi- ous boat to approach, the latter collided with his boat and upset. Scharfens- berg’s boat was overturned, and when the four men came to the surface they seized the bout to which the sturgeon was attached, when the big fish contin- ued on its course, dragging the ove turned boat and the four men with it. The boat was finally righted and the sturgeon, becoming exhausted from loss of blood, was easily captured and dragged asho B The Duration of Nerve Life, It has been estimated that we getn complete new outlit of brains about every two months, says the Medical World. The duration of a nerve’s life is about sixty days. Each nerve cell has its own inde- pendent functions, subordinate to the higher functions of the whole brain “en masse,” and the latter acts as a sort of boss or overseer to the individual actions and life of each sepa- rate cell. Every cell is destroyed and renewed overy two months, so we each get six brand new brains per year. | through. “MAGGIE JUDAH. The Humble Origin of One of Patt Favorite Songs. There lived in the year 1850 in Span« ish Town, Jamaica, West India, a col- ored woman named Maggie Judah, says the Pall Mall Gazette. She was what was called a Jow bastard—that is a cross between a Jew and a brown woman. She was then about thirty-five years old, rather stout, with good Jewish features. She sold ginger beer and cakes; she was evidently not a “Cmsar's wife.” About that time there lived a clever black boy,Alexander Archpole by name, a gentleman’s groom, who among other accomplishments had a very good voice. One evening Mr. Alexander Archpole went to Maggie Judah's cake stall, and, in the presence of an admiring audi- ence, in a loud voice serenaded the said Indy by singing ‘*Maggie Judah.” Miss Judah, not at all complimented, took legal proceedings against Mr. Archpole, and the case was tried in the police court before the Hon. Richard Hill, since dead, the well-known naturalist and friend of the late Mr. P. Gosse. Archpole's defense was that the song was & popular one, which was sung about the streets. MissJudah’s lawyer, however, was not to be humbugged. Ho contended that the song was not a de- cent one, and that it referred to Mag- gie Judah in a derogatory to her character. The magistrate thereupon requested Mr, Arvchpole to sing the soug fov his guidance. Mr. Archpole then went up into th ness box and in a clear, music ng “Maggie Judah.” Of course whole court house was convulsed, and it was some time before order restored. Thi however, did not help Mr. Archpol who was tined ten shillings and cost, twenty days in the district prison. The fine was puid 2nd Mr. A nder Arch- pole lived for several y after, and, although he did not again serenade Maggie Judah, he nevertheless used to sing the song to his hovses while rub- bing them down. Maggie Judah has since passed away, but there ave many people who still ‘recollect h song which caused so much in the Spanish town police court.

The behests of love, however, sharpen a love Last Wednesday the young lady, ac- companied by her ardent friend and several intimates, visited the Baldwin theater, after which supper followed. Tho wily lover shortly proposed us joke that they be married by one of the party. The unsuspicious young girl consented and the formuln was gone The next morning the as- tounded girl received a letter from her Englishman that they were tied hard and fast, the officiating friend, a young ! attorney of good standing, being a jus- tice of the peace. She at once told her family about the affair. Prominent attorne were con- sulted, dozens of telegrams and pages of correspondence were interchanged, with the result that an opinion w, n- dered that it would wake a judicial de- cree to sever the bond. The girl’s fam- ily are greatly excited over theincident and propose to enter court, when names will be made public.

The common fly lays more than 100 eggs, and the time from egg-laying to maturity is only about two weeks. Most of us have studied geometrical pro- gression. Here we see it illustrated. Suppose one fly commences “to multi- ply and replenish the earth” about June 1. June if all lived,would give 150. Suppose 75 of these are females; July 1 would give us, supposing no cruel wasp or other untoward circum- stance to interfere, 1 0 flies. Sup- pose 5,625 of these are females; we might have July 15 843,720 flies, It might cause bad dreams if carried on further, —_— Not a Oalifornia Bear.
