AVhat tuoio wonderful provision in
nature is there than that by which the
voury bird is vitalized and matured
in the egg? As all w ho have paid.any
attention to embryology know. J the
germ of the future bird i plated on
one side of the yolk, and that side is
always uppermost, lieing susiionded by
chalazae or twisted cords in the al
bumen ot the egg.
If vou take an egg, and, placing it
on .its side, break out a circular hole
in the upper -ide of the shcll.'you will
always find the blastoderm or embry
onic shield, as itnis called, on the up
jk r feid'i of the yolk looking you in the
face, almost like an eye.
The reason that thU embryonic
shield is always held uppermost is be
cause the parent bird in incubating ap

and that the embryo may receive its
proper heat and receive no injury n is
suspended in a thick and clastic de
posit of albumen.
The parent bird, in the period of in
cubation, knowing by instincts that
the e"s in '.he middle of the nest re-t-fcivcC
more than their proportionate
share cf her heat, she is oaen employ -o.i
in rlinnmn" the position of the
Ct-s putting those that were on the j
-d Vin the middle and those that were
inthe middle on the outer edge. Ob
fcrrvc now how this very act beauti
fully carries out anothei provision of
naluic ; if bv chance a bird could im- 1
part to l ev'tgtrs the same degree of
Leat throughout so that there would
be no m cecity for changing their po
sition, the young birds would not
hatch'; because, the heat being ap
ple I to the eggs at one point without
change, the veins which are thrown
out to the shell to obtain oxygen for
the embryos would be ovei-stimulated
and strong at that point, and weak
and poweilo.-s at all other points,
where the heat was not employed.
The result would be that the chicks
would be confined or anchored to one
side of the shell, and, as they could
not turn around in the shell in order
that thev might break a circle around
it to liberate themselves they would
die at the time they should break their
prison walls
Nature thus implants in the parent
bird the instinct to keep changing
the position of the eggs, in order that
the tmbrvos mav be born.

A MAJi.HORNE.
A STKANOE PHENOMENON AND A FlM.fi
OF MAOIC.
The fire man of Shan1 county is not
likely to attract more attention than a
phenomenon -w hich has just made its ap
learance according to a private letter m
Van Buren count v. Some people call it
a horse, while others affirm that it is a
man. At any rate, nothing in natural
historv can account for it. Its head has
everv semblance of a horse's while its
IkmIv is unmistakably that of a man.
When first seen it was standing m aroad
with its head over a fence, looking in
tently at a man plowing in the held.
There was something so w ild in the ex
pression in the supposed horse's eyes,
and such'a snap to his eyelids, producing
sncli a iculiar sound, that the man left
his plow and w ent up to the fence. His !
surprise and terror at seeing a horse's
head on a man's shoulders knew no
lniunds, but his legs did, and springing
away he ran towards his house. The
man-horse, seeing that the plowman
'ifleed', when no man-horse pursueth,
climlied over the fence, walked up to
the plow, took up the lines and started
the horse. The owner had witnessed
this, having stopped, (lathering eour
ac;e, he went back, slowly and cautious
ly approaching the most peculiar freak
of nature he had ever seen. When he
had come within a few yards of the plow
the man-horse stopped, turned and re
mark e I :
"You seem afraid of me. Approach."
The man felt implied by some unac
countable power, and when he was with
in a few feet of the man-horse experi
enced a slicht sensation in his feet, and
looking down discovered that instead of
feet he had a pair ot hoots, iie nan e 1
dentlv exchanged with his horse, for in
stead "of hoofs on the front the horse had
human feet, and sefmed equally as
much dissatisfied with them as the man
did with the hoofs. After performing
this piece of magic the man-horse ran
awav. He has subsequently apieared
to several parties, but has not performed
anv more miracles. It may be neces
sary to add that the man to whom the
phenomenon presented the hoofs is
known in the neighljorhond as a "Guin
ea nigger," His plow-horse has not
been "seen since that memorable day.
The man sti'.l retains his hoofs, and
w hen last seen was at a blacksmith shop
bavins? himself shod. He knows them
to be the hoofs of his horse, for there
are marks on them that render unmista
kable recognition. This story, a neigh
borhood superstition, does not come
in a roundalout way, but down the
Port Smith railway, one of the straight-
est railroads in the South. It will not,
however, take its place in a library of
Sunday shool fiction. It is stated, and
with siime degree of truth, that the old
negro, suffering with elephantiasis, be
came crazv and started the story. Lit

There were about 100 dancing, rang
ed in five rows, the front one consisting
of about 20 voting woman gorgeously
appareled in "tight-fitting red or white
bodices and flaming-colored rugs worn
like kits. When the Governor entered
they greeted him with the most awful
noise, shouting, yelling, lpughing and
the beating of tin cans, the barking of
dogs, and rapid hand-clapping. From
one or two of the specimens that were
translated to us, it was as well, perhaps,
that their shouts of welcome were ex
pressed in the Maori language. The
young women certainly seemed to enjoy
and make the most of the opportunity
for saving naughty things. The dance
lasted' alout an hour ; it was curious,
and as a noveltv, amusing, but rather
monotonous. There was but little
movement of their feet ; it consisted of
swaving their bodies and arms about,
going down on their knees, imitating
rowing and gathering crops, slapping
their own legs and then theiijneighbors'.
The men then took the place of the wo
men, and went through very similar
performances. The ' whole dance was
accompanied by a noise that would have
put Pendemoniuni to shame ; it sounded
like a mixture of leating of trays, nogs
fighting, gigantic snoring and a very
full deep bass rumbling in the throat.
At times there seemed to be a kind of
rhythmic song interspersed with yells
and short sharp cries of "hue, hue,"
"ha, ha," "Pekeka." The young wo
men winked and grinned and twisted
alKMit lieyond what was strictly correct ;
but they seemed to enjoy the really hard
work of the dance most thoroughly.
Tnere was always a chief running up
and down, dancing and declaiming in
the foreground, bidding defiance to all
the world apparently, but in reality, 1
W-lieve, merely suggesting that he
would like to drink to his 'Excellency's
health. Far the most comical feature
of the dance was a little naked imp who
stood in the front of the first row, ex
actly opjxisite the Governor, and imita
ted playing the fiddle with his little thin
arms, all the while thrusting out his
tongue and rolling his eyes nearly out of
his head, and making the most fearful
faces and contortions. A little girl who
tried to do the same had not nearly the
same genius for making herself hideous
and grotesque. At last a lilieral supply
of leer was promised them ; the dance
came to an end. and the Governor de
parted amid an uproar if possible more
awful than lefore. The natives were
very well grown, friendly, and cheer-,
with a perfectly childish delight in mak
ing a noise. Their nose are too wide
and their mouths too big for them to le
good-looking ; but with large bright
eyes and white teeth, many of them are
very pleasant-looking. Frazcr's Magazine.

A Shadow. Many things can be
learned from a shadow. Ixt us take an
example or two. First, snpose we are
in a part of the country with which we
are not much acquainted, and we want
to know the direction in which v.e are
traveling; we can tell by the direction
in which the shadows are thrown. We
have simply to note the. time, by our
watch, and bear in mind that the sun
rises in the east, and gets nearly south
by mid 'ay, after which he goes west.
We must at the same time lear in mind
that the shadow is thrown exactly in the
opposite direction, so that when the
sun is southeast, as it always is before
midday, the shadows are thrown north
west. We need but compare the direc
tion in which we are traveling with the
line cast by our shallow. Again, sup
lose w are out walking near iniddav in
the summer, and we have no means of
knowing the exact time nor the direct
ion in which we are walking. Take a

Dysicntkry. Following is a trans
lation of a recipe for the cure of this
complaint, which was published by the
physicians of Spain in the gazettes of
Madrid thirty-nine years ago:
"Prepare a draught of alhumen by taking
the whites of forty eggs or more, aiiil, after
wliipjtinr them well, sweeten the same, if
necessary, with a small portion of the hest
douhle-retined sugar. Let tlie patient drink
large quantities of this rcjieateilty, insomuch
as to fill his stomach, administering clysters
of the same as often as possible. Tlie pa
tient must maintain a total abstinence from
diet of any kind. In a few hours after, the
pain will abate, and in twenty-four hours the
disease will disappear; if it dies not, it will
be sure to disappear in forty-eight hours,
provided the patient repeats the draught as
usual. The addition of a few drops of orange
flower water is highly tienefieial."

A family in St. Francis county, Ark.,
were recently not a little alarmed to find
lay after day a card liearing these words,
"Yellow fever," lying muter their front
door. Every night tlie papers came
with terrible accounts of the disease at
Memphis, and every morning the mys
terious cards were found on tlie .doorstep.
At last the man of the house sat out on
the doorstep all one night to catch any
body who might le playing a trick on
him, lint when morn ing came there was
a card lieside him, although noliody had
apjieared. The fever rejrorts grew
gloomier, and tlie family settled into tlie
j lelief that Providence, by a handwrit
I ing on cards, had advised night, and ac
j conlingly they mpde preparations to
i leave. )n the night In-fore their proos
j ed departure, however, the father was
I sitting lieside his bed, when his son
came in clad in his night clothes, fast
asleep, went to a ti ble w here some
blank cards were kept, took out one,
wrote uiK.n it and slipped it under the
frontdoor. The father seized and awoke
him, and on securing the card it was
found to liear these words, "Yellow fe
ver," upon it like the rest.
Ax excellent invisible ink for postal
cards can be made by diluting sulphuric
acid w ith fifty times its volume of wat
er. A slightly acid fluid is the result,
which docs not injure a quill pen. The
message is developed by holding tlie
caul over any convenient flame that of
gas or spirits for example, or by laying it
on a hot plate.
