Au Asiatic rope.
A few days before Pius IX. breathed
his last the Tone of the MtiMulmans
passed away," Abdul Ghafur the
Ahkoond of Swat. Abdul Ghafur was
born of shepherd parents in 1790, and
till he was sixteen herded their cattle.
Kunning away from home he sought
out teachers first at Teshawur. then at
Kliuttuk, Desirous of greater distinc
tion than that offered by the ordinary
career of a Mooliab, he vowed to become
a Dervecsh and took possession of the
bland of Bokka, a mere bank of mud
formed at one great inundation of the
Indus to disappear at another. Here
for twelve years he lived a hermit life,
in a wretched hut, exposed to the cold
blasts that only High Asia knows and
having for food only milk and the epds
of a variety of grass. Literally for
months he remained squatted on the
ground facing towards the Holy City
and howling the Creed and the ninety
names of God, as the Kev. Mr. Hughes

Harry Lumsdcn, a British oflk-ert
certify. The latter had been specialli
ordered to visit and report upon filr?
lanatic, who had already become pow
erful in the religious world. Indeed
his fame had already come to the ears
of the Sikhs, masters of the Peshawur
Valley, who had vowed vengeance on
their iornier Mahometan persecutors,
and they attempted bis life, but he lied
to the inouutaius. So fcreat. was now
(1S35) his influence that Vost Moham
med courted his assistance when he
struck against the Sikhs, but Runjeet
Singh was too strong for Ameer and
Ahkoond, and the latter, after fighting
gallantly in the Klivber Pass for the
Afghans, tied to the Swat village of
SyJoo. where he was declined to make
another Mecca.
The Swat valley, a valley some fifty
or sixty miles long by three miles wide
was broken up into three contesting
tribeshlps, each claijaiug supremacy
over the other for its doctor of the laws.
By craft and simulated miracles Abdul
Ghafur induced the clans to consolidate
under a nominal king of his own choos
ing, Syud Akbar. Then he removed
his rival saints by having one assassin
ated while at prayer and denouncing
the other two to the British, who had
conquered the Punjaub, as Wahabees.
Dost Mohammed urged htm to preach
holy war against the advancing infidel
British but the Ahkoond, who saw that
English sovereignty guaranteed peace
and prosperity to the faithful, repelled
bis overtures. Henceforward he con
tinued to exercise his influence in favor
of tbe British, or at least refrained from
using it against them, save when, in
1863, he for a time checked Lord Elgin
in the Umbeyla campaign by casting in
bis lot with the Wahabees. This, how
ever, was only temporary, for he
preached ever afterwards that a djehad
or crescentade, against the reformed of
the Wahabee rite was even more meri
torious than one against the infidel
British. It was Wahabee assassins, by
the way, who struck down the Viceroy,
Lord Mayo, and Chief Justice Xorman,
of Calcutta.
The Alikoond's influence it would be
almost impossible to overrate. For
nearly half a century the Indian Gov
ernment watched him as assiduously
and anxiously as Europe watches Bis
mark or used to watch Napoleon 111.

The Courage or the Fox.
The ordinary idea of the fox is ths.
of a flying, frightened creature tearing
away for bare existence; be is really a
bold and desperate animal. The keejicr
will tell you that once when for some
purpose lie was walking up a deep dry
ditch his spaniel and retriever suddenly
"chopped" a fox, and got him at bay in
a corner, when he turned, and in an
instant laid the spaniel helpless and
dying and severely handled the re
triever. Seeing his dogs so Injured and
the fox as it were under his feet, the
keeper imprudently attempted to seize
him, but could not retain his hold, and
got the sharp white teeth clean through
his hand. Though but once actually
bitten, he recollects being snapped at
viciously by another fox, whom he
fonnd in broad daylight asleep 'n the
hollow of adonble mound with scarcely
any shelter and wilhin sixty yards of a
house. Reynard was curled up on the
ivy which in the hedges trails along
the ground. The keeper crawled up on
the bank and stopped, admiring the
symmetry of the creature, when, pur
posely breaking a twig, the fox was up
in a second and snarled and snapped at
l.is face, then slipped into the ditch and
away. The fox is, in fact, quite at re
markable for boldness as for cunning.
Last Summer we met a fine fox on the
turnpike road and close to a tollgate, in
the middle of the day. He came at full
speed with a young rabbit in his jaws,
evidently but just captured, and did
not perceive that he was observed till
within twenty yards, when, with a
single bound he cleared the sward be
side the road, alighting with a crash in
the bushes, carrying his prey with him
Hares will sometimes, in like manner,
come as it were to meet people on coun
try roads. Is it that the eyes being
placed toward the side of the head, do
not so readily catch sight of dangers in
front as on the flanks, especially when
the animal is absorbed in its purpose
Hares are peculiarly fond of limping at
dusk along lonely roads. Foxes when
they roam from the wood into the
meadow land, prefer to sUep during
the day in those osier beds which are
found in the narrow corners formed by
the meanderings of the brooks. Between
the wiilow wands there shoots op
thick undergrowth of sedges, long
coarse grass and reeds; and in these the
fox makes his bed, turning round and
round till he has smoothed a place and
trampled down the grass; then reclin
ing, well sheltered from the wind.
dog will turn round and round in the
same way before he lies down on the
hearth' rug. These reeds sometimes
grow to a great height, as much as ten
or twelve feet. Along the Thames they
are used, bound in bundles, to pitch
the barges; when the hull Las been
roughly coated with pitch, one end of
the bundle of reeds (thickest end pre
ferred), is set on fire and passed over it
to make it melt and run into the chinks
So, mayhap, the Saxon and Danish
rover may have used them to pitch the
bottoms of their ceols when worn from
constantly grounding on the shallows
and eyots.
A boat Valentines.
During the gioiious oays of the an
cieut empire the feast of Lupercalia was
celebrated a'. Rome with a license and
energy that render the Carnival a small
affair in comparison. Among other
ceremonies the ymng people of both
sexes would let Chance assign the
matters that we now leave to Seutimen
and other considerations, by mingling
in an even and equal number youths'
and maidens' name-; and as Fate detei-
mined the succession of them, Corydon
and Flu via were matched as lovers.
From time to time the privileges apper
taining to this festival caused such
abuses as to shock even Roman morality.
and among the uiodiiicatious enforced
this game of lovers was abolished. As
a matter or course, some less ohjec
tionable custom was substituted; and
through various phases it took the form
of valentine gilts, where, ignoring the
barbarism of choosing , by lot, a natural
course for election was permitted, and
the dynasty of Pan was overthrown. If
this had been a legitimate indulgence.
the Cyprian goddess would have been
the patron saint; but aside from his re
gard for shepherds and their flocks, and
he protection of the game-laws, Pan
had a reputation for depravity that
should nave excluded liiiu from re-
spec'able society ; and the fact that he
was selected as patron of the Lupercal ia
reconciles all well-disposed people to
the abandonment of those rites.
St. alentnie came on the scene
during the third century, but be was
kept pretty well occupied with his own
affairs by reason of a continuous perse
cution on account of the bold assertion
of his religious tenets; and if he did
anything worthy of the succeeding
veneration exacted from sighing lovers.

lacked either the time, inclination, or
opportunity, to make any impression
on the S"X, as he died a bachelor a
victim to the harsh Claudius. As St'
V alentine was conspicuous for the
purity of his life, it is probable that in
the reaction of popular feeling the rites
substituted for the licentious orgies of
the preceding age were named in his
honor.
The Indifference of late shown for the
recognized prerogatives of St. Valen
tine's day is a sad commentary on this
age, when sentiment and the science of
the beautiful are giving way to sordid
interest and devotion to affairs practi
cal. The shop-windows are no longer
decorated with the gorgeously-illuminated
missives of Love for which gages
the youth of our country were wont to
straiten their lollypop supply for a time
in direct ratio with the ardor of their
affections. There is a dearth of rosy
cheeked cupids; and the conventional
illustrations of lovers wending their
way through cosy nooks, suriouided
by a halo of atmospheric splendor,
would now excite ridicule from our
groundlings, if they were exposed.
In fact in delicate sentiment, we are
on the verge of another social revolu
tion, and we may infer its character
from the tendency of our people in the
matter of their tastes for public amuse
ments. With the teachings of Wood-
hull and Andrews, the riotous jollity, of
the Pandean votaries menace the inno
cence that has hiilierto characterized
the celebration of this love festival.

journals now carry the messages that

merits of St. Valentine will soon pass

An Upisode at the War of 181?.
The English papers announce the
death of an cflijer whose exploit in the
Eastern ocean recalls a nearly forgotten
occurrence of the war of 181?, and one
not very creditable to the humanity of
one of our naval commanders, and er-

As Lieutenant Boyce had received in

powerful opponent, but sent a boat to
inform Captain Warrington of the con
clusion of peace. The only reply he got
was an order to strike his flag. This he
refused to do, thinking he would dis
honor his country by compliance.
Whereupon the Peacock fired a broad
side, killing six men and wounding
eight others. Lieutenant Boyce was
struck by a grapeshot in his hip, and
his right knee and thigh bone were
shattered by a thirty-two pound shot
His first lieutenant, Mr. Mayster, was
mortally wounded. Having thus vindi
cated the honor of his flag by losing
fourteen out of his crew of forty men
Lieutenant Boyce surrendered. Captain
Warrington, however, released his prize

have realized before uselessly spilling
blood, having penetrated his skull that
he had no right to hold it.

AGRICULTURE.
Watering Plants with Hot WartR.
M. Willermux has pointed out the
utility or watering certain plants with
hot water when out of health. Such
waterings render repotting in fresh
earth needless, when the flagging of
the plants 1 caused by acid substances,
which, contained In the soil and ab
sorbed by the roots, act on living vege
tables like veritable poisons. The small
roots are withered and cease their ac
tion, consequently the upper and
younger shoots of the plant turn yellow
and tiie spots with which the leaves are
covered indicate their morbid state.. In
such cases the usual remedy is to trans
plant the invalids into fresh soil, clean
the pots carefully, secure good drain
age, and so on, alien with the best re
sults. But the experience of several
years has proved the unfailing efficacy
of the simpler treatment, which consists
in watering abundantly with hot water
at a temperature of about 145 degrees
r abren heit, after stirring well the earth
in which the plants are growing until
the water runs well through the puts.
At its first experimental application,
the water came out clear; alterward it
was sensibly tinged with brown, and
gave an appreciable acid reaction. After
this thorough washing, the pots were
Kept warm close to a stove or a calorifere.
Next day the leaves of twoFicw tlatlica
so treated ceased to droop, and the
spread of black spots on their 1 aves
was arrested, and tbreedays afterward,
instead of dying, the plants had re
covered their normal look of health,
Very soon they made new roots, imme
diately followed by a vigorous growth
In large towns especially this course of
treatment is easier to carry out than a
general repotting. Perhaps the extra
warmth may be as tflicacious as the
extra water.
Bees ix Spkino. As soon as Spring
opens, our bees should all be examined
by lifting the frames of each hive,
and if the stocks are weak, the bees are
shut to one side of the hive oy means of
a division board, so as to keep up the
necessary heat for brood-rearing on as
many combs as they can cover. As
soon as the queen has filled these combs
with eggs we spread them apart, in
setting an empty comb between those
occupied with brood, and In afew days'
time the queen will fill this one also;
and so we keep on until every available
cell is occupied with brood. Thus it
will be seen that instead of the queen
laying her eggs on the outside of the
cluster, she lays them in the centre of
brood-nest where they should be. After
the hive is full of brood and bees, it
does not make so much difference, as
the weather is warm and bees aie
plenty, so that the queen can deposit
her eggs anywhere in the hive. As
soon as the strongest stocks are full,
take a frame of brood just gnawing out,
and place it in the weaker ones, giving
the strong one an empty comb for the
queen to till again, and so keep on until
all are full.
Animal manures differ In quality;
cows, for instance, for the chemical
constitution of their bodies, or for the
formation or milk, more nitrogen and
phosphate of lime tbau sheep; and
again, the latter requi.e more sulphur
and common salt, tor the formrtiou of
their wocl. Hence the excrements of
oxen cannot contain so much nitrogen
as those of sheep, while they are more
abuudant in salt and sulphur. Again,
the value of the excrement depends
partly upon the digestive organs of the
ot the diflerent kiuds of animals, and
their organs of mastication. Sheep,
naving stronger digestive organs than
cows, and also the ability to reduce
their food to a finer state by chewing.
are able to abstract more nutriment
from a given quautity of food. With
tood of the same kind sheep dung can
not be of so much value as thrt of oxen,
though owing to the former being more
nneiy divided it decomposes sooner and
acts more quickly than the latter, and
experience teaches that sheep manure
produces its eneet more speedily, but
not to permanently, as the manure ol
oxen.
Tile Drains in neat meadows, where
me peat is several feet below the tile,
are of frequent occurrence. When
properly laid there is little danger ol
their tilling with the fine peat. Boards
should be laid on the bottom of the
ditch which has previous! v been made
of a regular grade; then lay the tile
upon tue ooards, covering the joints
with a small bit of inverted sod or a
narrow strip of tarred paper.
A Tremendous Talker.
Coleridge was prodigal in his words.
which, in fact, he could with difficulty
suppress; but he seldom talked of him
self or his affairs. He was very specu
lative, very theological, very metaphys
ical, and not unfrequeiitly threw in
some little pungent sentence character
istic of the defects of some of his ac
quaintances. In illustration of his un
failing talk, a correspondent gives an
account of one of his days when he was
present: Coleridge bad come from High
gate to London for the sole purpose ol
consulting a I'rieud about his son Hart
ley, (our dear Hartley,") toward whom
he expressed aud I have no doubt felt
much anxiety. He arrived about one
or two o'clock, in the midst of a con
versation which immediately began to
merest him. He struck into the mid
dle of the talk very soon, and held the
ear of the house" until dinner made
its appearance, about four o'clock. He
then talked all through the dinner, all
the afternoon, and all the evening.
with scarcely a single interruption.
He expatiated on this subject and on
that; he drew fiuedistinctions; he made
subtle criticisms. He descended to
anecdotes historical, logical, rhetori
cal ; he dealt with law, medicine, and
ivinity, until at last, five minutes be
fore eight o'clock, the servant came in
and announced that the Highgate stage
was at the corner of the street, and was
waiting to convey Mr. Coleridge home.
Coleridge immediately started up, obli
vious of all time, and said, in a hurried
voice : "My dear Z . I will come to
you some other day, aud talk to you
about our dear Hartley." He had quite
forgotten his son, and everybody else,
in the delight of having such an enrap
tured audience.
The Memory.
Good forgetful ness is considered by
the Scientific American scarcely less
valuable than good memory. "Actors,"
it says, "who are obliged to study new
parts frequently, and commit long
speeches to memory in very short
periods of time, apparently have the
power of cleansing the memory and
rendering it blank and receptive to new
tasks. After taking part in a perform
ance which has been repeated night
after night for months, the reproduction
of the same play, after the lapse of a
year or so, finds them almost ignorant
of the text, and necessitates complete
restudy." Mr. Verdon.in a recent arti
cle on "Mind " holds that the memory
of every individual has ti e capacity of
keeping in fresh recollection a certain
number of things, and that these, on
being displaced by others, grow dim or
entirely fade away. He says that a
person may expend all his energy of
memory on a few things and become
"absent-minded," or may make it cover
a great number with less distinctness.
SCIENTIFIC.
Wood and Metal. Interesting expert
menu were recently made at the Ohio
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
with their mammoth testing machine lor
thedetermining the strength of different
kinds of metals, timber, etc The first
tests were of tenacity. A quarter-inch
annealed iron wire broke at 5.160
pounds: another piece of unannealed
wire, of the same size, broke at 3,860
pounds; a piece of bar iron, half-inch
square, broke with 13,660 pounds; a bar
of Bessemer steel, scant half-inch
square, only gave way under 30,320
pounds, the latter tests showing clearly
the comparative strength of iron and
Bessemer steel. A piece of hickory, one
and a Lalf inch square, broke at 10,460
pounds, and a piece of black walnut,
same size, at 3.270 pounds. The ar
rangement of the machine for trans
verse tests was Illustrated by breaking
a bar of apple wood, one inch square
and one foot long, supported at the ends
and weight applied in the middle, with
white Waverly sandstone was crushed at
only 060 pounds. A two-inch cube of
12,500 pounds. Such cubes of wood stood
a teat of 7.000 and 8,300 before being
crushed. The last experiment was the
breaking of a 15x16 inch iron screw
bolt, which was accomplished by a pres
sure of 25,850 pounds. All specimens
of metal could be seen to stretch very
materially before breaking, becoiningof
less diameter near the place of rupture.
It was interesting to notice the heat
generated when this stretching took
place, w hich is ascribed to molecular
friction. The tests followed each other
rapidly, and the gentlemen present, who
included rolling mill operators, prac
tical engineers and manufacturers
interested in the experiments, were
delighted at the prompt and accurate
working of the machiue. Prof. Men
denhall is desirous of making tests of
the comparative strength ot the various
materials used by manufacturers,
builders and others, and will be very
glad to receive any and all specimens
which may be ottered. The results of
those tests would seem to be of great
value in aiany buildings and others, yet
Professor Metideuhall states that he was
actually obliged to buy specimens for
the tests above described.
Filtering the Air: At a recent meeting
of the New York Academy of Useful
Arts, attention was called to a biniple
method of filtering the air of an apart
ment. 1 he object is to Tree the air from
dust, excessive dampness, and possibly
from the genus of malaria. The con
trivance consists essentially of a fibrous
woven fabric, strengthened by brass
wire. It is to be applied to windows
and ventilators, and may be of service
on railway cars to exclude dust. It has
the merit of checking drafts, while ad
mitting air. Its general use might tend
to prevent the spread of malarial dis
eases, and modify the dangers that dirty
streets occasion to the health of city
residents.
M. Iterthelot has informed the
Academy of Science, Paris, that in ex
perimentiiig on etherification 16 years
ago he put aside a number or mixtures
to he ke't a considerable time, in order
to ascertain the limits of the reactions
produced at ordinary temperatures,
1 hese mixtures consisted ol acetic acid
and alcohol, acetic acid aud glycerine,
tartaric acid and alcohol, valeric acid
and alcohol. Recently the mixtures
were examined, and it was found that
the results confirmed the truih of the
general laws of etherification.
II anting the Sea-Otter In Alaska.
The sea-otter, which constitutes the
sole means by which these, the only
civilized people of our new Territory
manage to clothe themselves rightly
and maintain their Church, may be ap
propriately mentioned in detail. It is
an animal, when full grown, that will
measure from three and a half to four
feet at most from the tip of its short
tail to its nose. The general contour of
of the body is much like that of the
beaver, with the skin lying in loose
folds, so that, when taken hold of in
lifilne the body out of the water, it
draws up like the hide on the nape of a
young puppy dog. The skin is covered
with the richest of all fine deep fur, a
jet black, with silver tipped hairs here
and there scattered as is so well known
to our ladies of fashion.
The sea-otter mother sleeps in the
water on her back, with her young one
clasped between her tiny forepaws.
Frequent attempts have been made to
rear the young sea-otters, as they are
often captured alive; but. like some
other species of wild animals, they seem
to be so deeply imbued with fear of
man, that they invariably perish by
self-imposed starvation.
The Sannacit Islets and reefs consti-
rute the great sea-otter ground of
Alaska, and hither come native hunting
parties from Oonalaska on the west.
and Belcovski on the north, where they
camp on the main island, and venture
out in their bidarkies fifteen and twenty
miles in every direction to sea. Fires
are never built here unless the wind is
from the south, and food refuse is never
scattered on the beaches. Th3 suffer
ings to which the native hunters sub
ject themselves every winter on this
island, going for many weeks without
dres, even for cooking, with the ther
mometer down to zero In a northerly
gale of wind, are better imagined than
described; while the various shrewd
and skilful artifices by which they out
wit the otter in capturing it, would
make a lengthy chapter if fully enumer
ated, for this animal, of all wild ani
mals, seems to be possessed of the great
est aversion to or dread of the presence
or even the proximity of man.
The natives, when they go from
Oonalaska to Sannack on a hunting trip
of this character, usually make up a
party of from forty to fifty men. They
travel ia light skin bidarkies, two men
in each, and are gone usually three to
four months at a time before returning
to their families; they haul their kyacks
out from the water every night as they
bivoaac along the coast, and sleep in
gxles of wind, which are always loaded
with rain, sleet and fog, without the
least covering, and aimost invariably
without a fire. Ab ! rude indeed is the
country of the Aleut, but he is as
rugged, and the bleak, precipitous
islands stamped with his name are all
the world to him. He wants no other
and he is happy where we would be
supremely miserable.
Cotton Oooda.
The announcement by the President
of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
that the exports of cotton goods from
America have increased from $75,000 in
1870 to 2,250,000 in 187G, is of deep im
portance to our Eastern manufacturers.
Should a general European war break
out. an exchange says, It will be in the
power of America to acquire almost im
mediately a very large proportion of
the trade in cotton fabrics both in Eng
land and on the Continent. This rapid
Increase which already, In times of
peace, has averaged 600 per cent, per
annum, would be vastly accelerated in
case of war.

Th Laws of Halth. Clothing Is
essential to protect the body from heat
and cold. Different qualities are suited
to diflerent seasons and climates, and
are chiefly connected with the relations
of fabrics to heat and moisture. In cold
weather the object is to prevent the loss
of beat from the body, by conduction
and evaporation ; in warm weather the
aim is to promote evaporation, iience
we must wear non-conductors and slow
absorbers in winter, and free conduc
tors and ready absorbers in summer.
The fabrics must be selected with this
object in view. As far as consistent.
clothing should be light, durable and
readily cleansed. Linen fabric is a good
conductor, and hence favors the escape
of animal beat. It also absorbs moisture
from the surface of the body rapidly,
and gives it off again to the external
air. by evaporation, luis process pro
duces rapid cooling, even in hot
weather. But linen should never be
used next to the skin, under any cir
cumstances, as it has no power to pre
vent sudden chills. Cotton is a poorer
conductor of heat than linen, and hence
warmer. It does not so readily absorb
moisture, and therefore is safer for
under garments. Cotton ranks next to
linen as a fabric for summer wear. It
is a much better absorber of moisture
and conductor of heat than either silk
or wool. Woolen fabrics are coarse and
porous, detaining within their meshes
a large amount of air. Hence they are
slow conductors of heat. Woolens also
possess a great capacity for moisture,
though they receive and discharge it
very slowly. This is a valuable quality
in articles of clothing. Woolen is
much better protection against heat
than either linen or cotton and much
warmer when wet. Its great power to
absorb moisture is a highly important
property, as it regulates evaporation
iroin the surface or the oouy, aud pre.
vents too great loss of animal heat. As
au equalizer of the temperature aud
protector against sudden chins, woolen
fabrics are suiterior to all others, aid
should be constantly worn next the
skin.
The color of clothing is Important
only in relation to solar heat. Black
cloth absorbs the heat or the sun, and
white cloth reflects it. But with the
heat of the stove the color makes no
difference. The absorbing powers of

The dark colored materials absorb more
moisture than the light colored, and
black absorbs nearly as much again.
But alter all more depends upon the
manner of dressing than the material
used. The poorer materials, properly
worn, are better thau the best liu
properly put on. As 1 have said, cloth
ing should be light. Weight does not
imply warmth, and often it becomes a
source ot great discomfort, Several
layers of light, loose fitting garments
are safer than a few layers of heavy
clothing. The imprisoned air more
than the material secures warmth and
hence the number of layers more than
the thickness of one layer. Again loose
clothing is warmer than that which fits
the body closely. Besides, the tight
fitting obstructs the circulation, restricts
tne natural motions and healthy action
of the parts affected.

Striving to be an Aator
During a theatrical trial in Philadel
phia in 1S65, brought by an actor named
Sherry, against the management of the
Chestnut Street Theatre, many amusing
incidents ocenrred. It was a hot day,
and the court room was crowded by
members of the dramatic profession.
The counsel for the plaintiff was Mr.
T. J. Worrell, formerly au actor, with
a ponderous bass voice; the defence
was represented by Mr. Lucas Hirst,
an eccentric gentleman with a voice like
that of Stuart Robson, very high and
all squeak ; and the "I object" of one,
and "We appeal" of the other, never
failed to produce a most hearty laugh.
In fact, the entire trial was more of a
comedy than a reality.
Among the many witnesses called to
sustain the actor was Mr. Sam Hem pie-
a popular low comedian. After taking
the witness stand, the necessary oath,
and answering to the questions. "Your
name f " "Your profession t " Sam spoke
out boldly, "An actor."
In an instant, as if by magic, from
among a knot of actors the words.
"Perjury ! perjury !" was uttered with
so much emphasis that order had to be
called. This inci lent so disconcerted
Hemple that it was with the greatest
difficulty he gave the balance of his
testimony.
The next witness called was Mr. Ed-
Tarr. Ed. walked up and kissed the
book. "Your name?" "Your profes
sion T" Tarr, not willing to be caught
as Hemple had been, and giving a sly
look at the party or actors spoke out :
"Sir I am striving to be an actor."
This was too much. There was a
general roar, in which counsel, judge,
ury, and all joined and it was several
minutes before order was resumed.
The sanctified soul enjoys Christ as

HUMOROUS.
Asx the Old Won. A gentleman
traveling out west relates the following :
Kidine horseback just at night through
the woods In Signor county, Michigan,
I came Into the clearing; in the middle
cf which stood a log house with Its
owner sitting in the door smoking his
pipe. Stoppiug my horse before biro,
the follow; ing conversation ensued :
"Good evening, sir," said i.
"Good eveninir."
"Can I get a glass of milk to drink?"
"Well. 1 don't know. Ask the old
woman."
By this time bis wife was standing
by his side.
"Oh, yes," said she, "of course you
can."
While drinkintr it I asked :
"Do you thing we are going to have
a storm r"
"Well, I really don't know. Ask the
old woman she can tell."
"I guesa we shall get one right
away," she said.
Again 1 asked :
"How much land have you got cleared
here?"
"Well, I really don't know. Ask the
old woman she knows."
"About eighteen acres," she replied.
Just then a troop of children came
running and shouting around tiie corner
of the shanty.
"All these your children?" said I.
"Don't know. Ask the old woman-
she knows."
1 did not wait to hear her re pi v. but
drew up the reins and left immediately.
A Setter. A raw boy coming into a
priuling office to learn the business, the
foreman asked the question : Have you
ever set any t meaning type of course.
"Set? reckon I kin; haven't I set all
our old hens; and diJn't every one on
'em hatch out every egg put under 'em
except old speckle, that went off and
left her nest consarn her old plctur!"
"You'll do," said the foreman. "I
don't want you to set hens, but to set
at that stand."
"Waal that's quare; you want me to
set at a stand, like them set of feiler
pickin' up them little jiguinarecs, do
you ! Waal, here goes."
John went to work, and learnt his
"letters" at the case, until he could cotu

he is now a first-rate tetter aud pointer.
"What's this bamp. Doctor?" in
quired a chap who had dropped in at a
country phrenologist s. What s this
bump here on the riht side?"
"This! ah." replied the 1'rofessor, a
he discovered a iu.up atmut the size of
a hen's egg over the right ear ; "this, I
should say, indicated a fondness for the
Iraiiscendeutal, a love for the Sublime,
a regard for '
"Hold up, Doctor," said the visitor,
hold up. Don't diagnostic tie any
further. I raised that bump on your
sidewalk not five minutes ago."
A Little "Pop." "How nicely this
corn pops," observed he, as they sat
eating it together by the tire.
i cs, replied she, holding down her
head, "it's got over being green."
or course he could n 't stand such an
inference as that, and might soon have
been seen "nopping" himself, aud
watching the glad lig.it in her eyes as
she blushingly said:
"Go ask 'poppy "
"How much for that piano?" asked a
customer at an auction shop the other
day.

was the reply.

Fiplanatlon ot a Mysterious Occurrence,
An Englishman went into a church
in Rome the other day, and as a service
was going on he sat quietly down, plac
ing his bat on the ground beside him.
After waiting a little while, and as there
seemed no immediate prospect of the
ceremony coming to an end, he thonght
he would go, and reached for his bat,
but was stopped by an unseen arm
which grasped him from behind. Think
ing that probably some custodian of the
church wished him to remain till the
conclusion of the service he azaiu
waited.
Presently he again thought of going,
again reached for his hat, and again the
unseen arm firmly prevented him. Con
vinced that the service was really some
important one which his leaving would
disturb, the Englishman again waited
for about a quarter of an hour. At the
explratiou of that time he determined
to depart, in spite of etiquette. So he
reached for his hat. Again the hand
grasped him, but as he determinedly
resisted bis detaining efforts a voice be
hind him exclaimed in English: "I
beg your pardon, but this is my hat you
are taking." And this was fact. Our
nero nau ueen detained all this time
because each time he wished to go he
had reached in mistake for the hut of
another stranger, placed iu close prox
imity to his own.
