Why tlie Circus Horses Were Spared. When Cole, a well-known circus pro prietor in the South, sold his stock in New Orleans, three dun ring horse; that ho had owned for years went with ' tho others by mistake. .Mr. Co!catonc6 ' bought them back, saying ho would never consent to have the horses become ! the property of any one who would make them woik, and he had decided to put them to a painless death. He proposed bleeding them to death, but W. li. Leonard, a liveryman, suggested that the uso of chloroform would be a b"'ter and less painful mode. This was .ally uecKlea upon, ana a reliable man procured, who was to have performed the operation. They were all collected ' in the circus tent. There was t ole, Eeonard, the riders and the clowns, the ringmaster, the tumblers, and the leap its, and tho three pet duns, ( ailing th little mare by name, he told l.er to kist thjmjiAltood-by.

Alaska Garnets. It will be of interest to persons who are fond of collecting mineral specimens to learn says the Yoult' Cumunion, that garnets, of Cue size and good color, are found at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, and that specimens can be obtained by mail from that place at very moderate expense. These Fort Wrangel garnets occur in a toutrh, gray slate near the mouth of the Stickeen Kiver, a few miles d slant from the Indian village at Wrangel postollice. They vary in size from a pea to a hen's egg, and with care, can be separated from i bo slate matrix, in which they lie -"Hke plums in a pudding, unbroken and shoeing their peculiar polyhedral form of crystuluation quite perfect. .Many of these garnets display a very considerable depth of a rich color, approaching tho ruby, and are hence of some value as precious stones.

A few evenings ago I was at an uptown club with some gentlemen, when one of the party had a telegram delivered to him. He opened it, looked at it doubt fully, and then said that it was unintel ligible. The operator, in fact, had "bulled" it badly, and as it was about a subject of importance to him, he was somewhat aunojed. Another member of the party, a prominent stock exchange mau, quietly took it, and w ithout a word jotted down the mtssuge as it was writ teu in the Morse aljihub t. He then separated the cliaraeteia somewhat dif ferently from the bungling operator who had received it, and gave the oilier gen tleman what was evidently the correct wording of the message. "Where did youleain anything about telegraphy f" asked some i nc. He looked up and laughed. "Why, tifteen )ears ago I wm a w orking operator at l j a mouth." Twi Ci.rrilfm iTn.l i furim.-e , .

Tho larvae of certain insects are bene ficial to man, because of their habit of feeding upon the bodies of, and the chy causing the death of their hosts. Of these beneficial cannibals there are two classes, one of which deposits its eggs in or upen the body of its victim, wheie it hatches, and the larva feeds upon the living tissues of its victim; the other catches its prey and devours it piece meal, or sucks Its juices out and casts the more solid portion aside. To this latter c!a-s belong tho larvirof certain two-winged flies of tho Syrphus family. The adult flics closely lesemble bees in their color, and indeed, iu some parts of tho country they nre called "sweat bees" by the boys. Their larvic are particularly fond of plant-lice, and few sights are mote interesting than to see tho footless maggot carefully groping about until within reach of its victim, when it stretches out its pointed head, pierces the louse, and, holding it aloft.sucks out the juices from its plump body and casts the caicass to the winds. A species of these larva- destroys the apple-root louse; another attacks the louso fouud on tho applo leaves; others attack the lice found on various other plants. The larv.e of Syrphus ribesii have been known to clear the plum tree of the lice peculiar to it. When the lite have caused tho leaves to curl so as to prevent the insecticides that may bo ap plied to the tree from reaching them, these lary.r nre particularly useful in following them into such strongholds and completely clearing them out. Prairie Farmtr. Apoplexy In Swine. Apoplexy is usually a disease of fat hogs, although an animal that has long been thin or sutTcring from excessive irritation of the intestinal canal would also bo predisposed to it. It must be understood that the process of fattening an animal in a few weeks destroys the equilibrium of the system, and in one sen"0 the fatness is in itself disease. The storing up of fat in the animal economy is always at the expense of muscular do rclopment. The muscles become weak and flabby. All the blood vessels of the system are surrounded by a strong, tough, muscular coat, that in a stato of perfect health will rc-ist any force that the heart's action can put upon these canals. But the fattening process weak ens these fibers; n sudden or unusual strain ruptures one in the brain, and we call it apoplexy. It is not as common in the hog us one would expect, but oc curs so often that the breeder should understand It and know tho right thing to r"o. It is impossible to foresee whea this is going to occur. If the rupture is a very small one, when tho blood is oozing out in tiny drops, tho hog will sometimes be found lying insensible and breathing heavily. No elfort will arouse it. It is more usual to find a big, fat hog lying dead, with no external marks or signs of the cause of death. Cut open the skull caicfully, and a clot of blood of greater or less extent will be found insid -. If alive, however, tie a stout cord above the knee, and. with a stick take a twi-.t in the cord, until on the inner side of the leg below the knee the brachial brain can be felt. Open it with a sharp-pointed knife, and if the blood will run take a pint and a half or a quart. Don't guess at it. An ounco of blood spread over tho ground or on the tioor has been mistaken for a pint. If the bleeding is to do any good there mut be considerable taken. If the broken vein is a small one, and the cae is observed soon after it occurred, the animal may be saved. If it partially revives it will be proper to evacuate the bowels. A large stock syringe would be valuable here to throw up a quart of warm water. In most cases, however, the owner will have a chance to sell the animal for soap fat. St a York Herald. Care of Cattle. There is no economy in keeping cattle in the pasture now; even where there is considerable grass it has been frostbit ten, and has lost its nutritive power. It may "help to till up," as the farmer said who mixed sawdust with his meal for his fattening hogs, but it does not assist much in mukiug either ilesh or milk. In tho mowing lields there is not likely to be any more grass now than will be needed to keep the roots from winter killing, and all that is fed off this mouth if likely to come out ot next year's hay crop. Fodder corn, millet and green oats arc so easily grow n that a farmer has no excuse for be ng short of forago to winter his stock, it they arc put Tn the barn as soon as told weather begius. A little exercise each day in a yard where ine sun tan shiue ana the wind cannot blow upon them may be beneficial to them, but they are better off and can bo kept much cheaper under cover thau they can when exposed to cold winds and storms. This is as true of youug animals as of milch cows. Crowd all tho grain for the fattening stock that they can be made to eat, and keep a close watch to see whetker they njo gaining t'esh fast enough to pay for it or not. Many farmers kill their fat cattle and swine just when they are making the greatest number of pounds of n ear for tho bushel of grain, partly becauso tho gain d' es not show as plaiuly after the animal is pretty well fatleued, mid partly because the amount of grain eaten grows larger as the animal in rea-es and the cooler weather comes ou. If such farmers could have scales upon which they could weigh their aui iual each week, they could easily acer taiu whether the pounds gained wero more than paying for the grain or not. Of course other considerations may make early slaughtering desirable, such us the prospect of the meat being lower in price later in the season, w hen stock is brought forward from the West, or if the meat is for home u.-c, a dislike to have it loo fat. And a low price for tallow may make a very fat bteve sell comparatively lower than one mod tiately tat. Of these things the fanner tan judge for himself, but he must also remember that a poorly fattened ox will shrink forty-live to fifty per cent, from t.i live weight, and a very fat ono thirty-five per tout, or less, so that eveiy pound of gain made now is nearly so many pounds of merchantable beef. '1 hi re are not many more pounds of o'.ial iu a hog that weighs ii ) pounds when very iui than theie was In the same ani mal when he weighed hOO pounds.

Intellectual pursuits, like studies or the scholarly professions, when coupled with temporal and moral habits of life, brighten tho faeo and give a per son a superior look, magnanimity of nature, or love of studies and aits, will mnke a bright, glad face; but, contrary to this, a man may have a fare that does not ploase anybody, because of a love of self to the exclusion of all others, not withstanding his learning and worldly shrowdness. Soldier get a hnrd, severe look, overworked laborers constantly look tired, reporters look inquisitive, mathe maticians look studious, judges become grave, even when olf the bench; the man who has had domestic trouble looks' nil brokon up. , An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see a third-class lawyer stalking around a police court looking wise ns an owl.

The letter press gives the square miles of each State ; time of settlement ; population ; chief cities ; average temperature ; salary of officials and the principal postmasters in the State ; number of farms, with their productions and the value thereof ; different manufactures and number of employes, etc., etc. Also the area of each Foreign Country ; form of government ; population ; prin cipal products and their money value ; amount of trade ; religion ; size of army ; miles of railroad and telegraph ; number of horses, cattle, sheep, and a vast amount of information valuable to all. EVERY NEWSPAPER READER SHOULD HAVE ONE. All newspaper readers are constantly needing an Atlas for reference in order to intelligently understand the article they are perusing. It is surprising how much information is thus stored away in the memory, aud how soon one becomes familiar with the chief points concerning all the Nations of the World. lOS4TTATn liOIJ irs nciVTH. i UOOK PUB.
