as it is this sort of witticism, founded on
a perversion of the Darwinian theory, is
becoming rather stale, and should be re-

brief resume of the theory in one of hiss
most famous songs
An ape with a pliable thumb and sig

When the g`€t of the gab- he had 'man-.
,aged to gain,
Aa. a Lord of Creation established his
reign ,
Which nobody can deny,"
And better still is Mr. Mortimer Collins'
version of the same old story :
"There was an ape in the days that
were earlier ;
Centuries, passed, and his hair became
curlier ;
Centuries more gave a thumb to his
wrist ; .,
Then he was Man, and a Positivist."

Dk_ TTI PROM E CITEME\T.--Thefoliow-
Ing incident is recorded in connection
with the announcement of the
death of Miss Emma McLear,
daughter of.Capt. George McLean, of
Rochester : " Miss McLean had been
suffering with the typhoid fever for about
five weeks previous to her death, but had
commenced to recover slowly a day or
two before her final illness. So much
better had.shebecome, indeed, that shawas
left alone in her room ;;a short time on
last Wednesday evening, as she had fall-
en into a peaceful slumher. The sinn'was
just setting at the ,-time, and a bright
streak of sunlight wars thrown across the
sleeper's bed chamber. Miss- McLean
happening to awakeli suddenly, saw the
room flooded with the sun's rays, and
supposing that the house was on fire,, sud-
denly sprang out of bed and called at the
top of her voice that the house was on
fire.. Her fears were soon allayed, how-
ever, when the family appeared, and she
was. placed in her bed again. But the sud-
den fright had proven too much for her
weaaened body to bear, and she com-
menced to sin la rapidly, and died on the
• following afternoon,
A:� OLD TURTLE. —The Sieg SingRe-
publican relates the following incient
"On Wednesday afternoon of last week
as Mr. Noah Barnes was engaged in the
baekyfrd of his_ residence, on Liberty
street, he came across a live turtle. On
picking it up he was greatly surprised at-
fnnding the names `James Ryder and
Stephen Ayles, 1833,' scratched on the
shell. Upon, bringing the turtle to the
village and showing it to the above named
persons, they remembered the circum-
stances of the cutting of the names in the
turtle's shaft over 41 years ago, when they
were young men. Mr. Barnes still has
the curiosity on his premises."

STRENGTH of 1fATERIALS.—Tt is a
most remarkable fact that the most ab-
undant material in nature, iron, is the
strongest of all known substances. Made
in the best steel a rod of one fourth of
an inela in diameter .will sustain 6,090
pounds before breaking ; soft steal,
8,000 ; iro wire, 6,000 ; iron, 4,000
inferior bar iron, 2,000 ; cast iron, 1,000
to 3,000 ; opper wire, 3,000 ; silver
2.000 ; gol ,. 2,500 ; tin, 300 ; cast zinel,
100 ; . east eai 50 ; milled lead, 200.
Of wood, b ''x and locust the same size
will hold,200 pounds; toughest ash,
1,000 ; els,, 800 ; beech, cedar, white
oak, pitch !Mime, 600 ; chestnut and
maple, 400. Wood which will bear 'a
heavy weigt for a minute or two will
break with wo-thirds the farce acting a
' long time. ;A rope. an inch in diameter
will bear a ant two and :t 1 alf tons, but
in practice t is not safe to subject it to
a strain of rt ore than one t n. Half an
inch in diameter the streng ih will be one
quarter as 'inch•; a quarte, of an inch
one sixteenth as much ; an 1 so on.
P1tESERYI 'C. LABELS.—' t e following
method of p eserving wood: labels that
are to be a ed on –trees . or in exposed
places, is re ommended in Gernnan pa-
per : Tho ughly soak t e pieces of
wood in a trong solution of Copperas
(sulphate of iron), then la them, after,
they are day, in lime w: ter. This'
causes the fo •oration of sulp t ate of lime,]
a very instil ble salt (gyp: um) in the,
wood. The rapid destruction of labels'!.
-by the weather is thus prev:nted. Bast,
mats, and oher substances used in ty
ing up or oi'ering trees nd ; plants,
when 'treated in the same manner, are
similarly, pre erved. At a recent meet-
ing of a hot icultural society in Berlin,
wooden label thus treated were shown
which had en constantly exposed to
ithe•weather during two years without be-
ing affected t . ereby.
1
t HoRsEs IN STABLE.—A co respondent
of the Indianz Farmer write : "I have
tried a variety of means to present horses
pawing in th.e stable, among others, the
strap and chain, but all faile. Recent-
1ly I devised a plan which hasucceeded
to my. entire- satisfaction.I made a
frame four feet long,. and o sufficient
width to reach nearly the op of the
manger, from which I suspei ded it, al-
lowing it to reach to within about ten
inches of the floor. I boarded up the
sash or frame, in order that h could not
get his feet o =er : the lower ar, which`
was a round tick two inchesin diam-
titer. The act of pawing sets the swing
in motion, ca sing it to strike against
the shins, whi h so disgusted iy animal
that he very s on gave it up entirely."

Nomas' Eclectric Oil,
WORTH TEA'- IMES ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHINGOF ITi !IF NOT, IT IS
TIME YOU DID:
There ar- but few 'preparations, 01 medicine
which haveithstood the impartial judgment of
the people tot any great length of time. One of
these is Txo rAs' ELEGTEIo OIL, purely u prepar-
ation of six tr some of the best oils that are known,
each one posessingvirtnes.of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
severalingreiients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects= which could
never result from the use of any one of them, or in
different canibinations. '1`h}is in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
&compound which could not by any possibility be
made from a Iy other combination or proportions
of the same ngredients, or any other ingredients,.
and entirelyjdifferent from anything ever before
made, one w1}ieh produces the mostastonishing re-
sults, and h ving a wider range of application
than any medicine ever bcforetliscovered. It con-
tains no alcohol or other volatile liquids, conse-
quently losed nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied you gjet the benefit of every drop; whereas
with other lireparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that Way, and you get only the small quun
tity of oils which they may contain.
