N i CURIOUS FACTS. A Prince Edward, Canada, horse lost an eye one day last week, aod now it is related that he breathes through the place occupied by the missing optic. Thomas Golden, a flagman Galena, Ills, has a tame robin that he has taught to walk out of the flag “house and wave a tiny flag whenever & train comes. When an Elkhart, Ind., farmer was unloading a load of hay which he had driven to market and sold, he found a very lively rattlesnake in the hay, and in the serpent he found two moles still alive end kicking. A young woman of Pottstown, the other day, found a cent of the date of 1881 in the yolk of a hen's egg that she had broken for cooking purposes. The date of the egg was not given® A horse owned in Springfield, Ills. choked while eating corn. Its owner thrust a whip steck down the horse's throat to remove the obstrution, and horse bit the stock in two, leaving a foot or more of it in his throat. A horse doctor came and cleaned out the much obstructed channel. A Canadian claims to have found a piece of barbed wire in a hen's egg recently. A novel conflict took place one day ast week, near St. Ana's, B. C., be. tween & calf and a grown bull. Dur- ing the battle the young bovine was caught between the horns of its op- {poneat, and, says the local chronicler, “the conqueror marched off in triumph with his consanguineous and § bellow- ing erown.” The calf was axtricated only by cutting off a third of the other animal's horns. in . An Indiana newspaper is respon- gible for the statement that some wood choppers in Rock Creek township, eutting dowa a big white oak, found the tree hollow. When the ax enter- ed the cavity the air rushed out with a whistle, followed by a flow of coal oil. Two barrels were filled and the hole was plugged up for further use, Qae of the strangest fights that ever took place in New England waters was that which occurred in Ipswich bay the other day betyeen Capt. Langford and a swordfish. First the captain harpooned the fish, and then the fish harpooned the man through the bottom ofthe boat, nearly | killing him. ——— A fine specimen of bhe primitive of Europe in prehistoric times h en found at Mootgaudies by Moos: Eagene Paignoa, and presented to the Paris Academy of Sciences. reindeer’s antler, bearing showing much ides of form on the part of the ancient artist. Two It isn nos ue carvi seals, a fish and three twigs of plants are engraved on one side; and oa the other side are two slender animals, probably eels, three figures aod an insect. A remarkable illustration ofthe en- during character of human hair may now be seen in the British Muaseum, where has been placed a wig, lately found in a temple at Thebes, which is supposed to have been worn by an Egyptian priest at a period not less than 3400 years ago. - QEADACHE IN SCHOOLCHILDREN Prof. N. J. Bystroll has examined 7,478 boys and girls in the Bt, Peters burg schools during the last five years and found headache in 868; that is 11.6 per cent. He states that that per centags of headache increases in a di: rect progression with the age of the children as well as with the of hours occupied by them in mental labor; thus, while headache occurred in only five per cent of the children aged eight, it attacked from eight to forty por cent of the pupils aged fourteen to eighteen. The au’ thor argues that an essent inl cause of obstinate headache in school children is the excessive mental strain enforced by the present educational programme which leaves out of consideration the peculiarities of the childs natare and the elementary pringiples of scientific number twenty Bgiene.

C. Men- denhall, in which it was shown that by plotting the proportion of words of the various lengthe used by any author, a very regular curve may be obtained, which is characteristic of the peculiar veabaloary of the writer, and gives a means of determing whether two works had the same authorship. The plot- ting consists in counting a thousand words from any passage, then on a slip of paper drawing a short line in one column for each word of two let ters, a similar line in another column for each word of three letters, anl #0 on, the curve being formed by connect. ing the lower ends of the columns.

A good roaster, like a good cook or good poet, must be born with certain qualifications that can not be acquired by education, Some dealers roast their nuts too much, others tov little, If they are roasted too much the oil is destroyed, and a nut has a good deal of oil in it’ If they are not roasted enough, or if they are roasted over a slow fire, the oil is not properly brought out and they are not good ; in fact, they have a disagreeable taste, Some dealers steams them, but that process spoils the good flavor of a nut.
