THE HURON. EXPOSIT R. 3 Rules for Skaters. ,Seasonable Suggestions for those who go on the Ice. Never get out of anybody's road. 1f any one is in 'your road don't go round him—go straight through him. When you find yourself failing bring some one else down with you,and be sure to keep on top. Don't burden yourself with any extra wraps ; shivering is pleasant occasion- ally. If yon happen to own skates don't lend them to little brother, little sister or any one else. If you get uncomfortably warm, hand your ulster or sealskint saoque to the first one who Domes along. They'll keep it with pleasure. Always carry temperance tracts about you ; then if you want to leave your girl for afew moments to get a hot lemonade, tell her you see a fellow in the distance you want to give a tract to ; she'll believe you. If you give her a ` peppermint lozenge when you come back, she'll believe you more yet. Skaters would do wellto remember that love on skates always ruins smooth, A fellow that owns a good pair of skates, a commanding ulster and a jaunty cap can have pick and choice of girls. If your straps and buckles get out of order, swear at them°; bottled anger is' bad for the soul, If a green skater aska your assistance, don't give it; people might take you for ak greeny. If a pretty girl comes along and cap- sizes at your feet, pick her up tenderly and offer your arm. If your sister takes a tumble, make out you don't see her ; it's terribly stupid work to play the agreeable to an old poke like her. . If you fall, don't be in a hurry getting up; you can take a rest, and if a -dozen trip and double up over you it will only make sport for the crowd. Don't learn to skate by the old fash- ioned methods ; try spread-eagles at once.—Albany Press. "They Grey Mare is the Bet– ter Horse." This proverbial saying, instead of being Flemish, is more likely of British, origin, and may have taken its rise from the following circumstance : A gentleman having married a lady of considerable beauty and fortune, but whose domineering temper and disre– gard of marital authority on all occa- sions made his home wretched, entreat- ed her father to take- back his daughter, and her dowry into the bargain. "Pooh, pooh !" said the old gentleman, "you know not the world. All woman govern their husbands, and it is easily proved. Harness the five horses in my stable to a cart, in which I will place a a basket containing 100 eggs ; leave a horse in every house where the husband is master, and an egg only where the wife governs. If you should find your eggs gone before the horses, you will think your case is not so uncommon ; but if your horses . are disposed of first I will take my daughter home again and you may keep her fortune." At the first house the son-in-law came to he heard the wife, in a shrill and angry voice, bid. her husband answer the. door ; here he left an egg without any inquiry;: He visited a second and third house with the same result. The eggs were nearly all gone when he arrived at the seat of a gentleman of position in the country. Having asked for the master, who happened to be not yet stirring, he was 'ushered into the pres- ence,of the lady 1 Humbly apologizing for the intrusion, he put the question of obedience ; and on the lady replying she was proud to obey' her husband in all things the husband entered the room and confirmed his wife's words ; upon which he was requested to choose which horse he liked. A black gelling struck his fancy, but the lady desired he would choose fhe gray mare as more fit for a side-saddle. Notwithstanding the substantial reasons given why the black horse would be more useful, the wife persisted in her claim for the gray mare. "What I" said she, "and will you not take her, then ? But I say you shall ; for I am sure the gray mare is much the better horse." "Well, well, my dear, replied the husband ; "just as you please, if it must be so." "Oh," quoth the gentleman carter, "you must now take an egg, and I must take all my horses back again and endeavor to live happily with my wife." Uncle Aaron's Rat Trap. Uncle Aaron lived near Hartford, and was a matter-of-fact man. His barn and outhouses fairly swarmed with rats, .and Uncle Aaron was telling a friend 'from another town, who was visiting at his house, how he was troubled by rata And how he had seen a hundred at least at a time. The friend laugh- ingly told him a hundred was a good many rats, and begged him to take off a few. Uncle Aaron replied that he was fix- ing a trap, and if his friend would wait a few days he would show him a haul .of rats which would convince him he was not lying. "All right," answered his friend ; "if you will catch anywhere near a hun- dred just let me know." Uncle Aaron, too, said "All right," adding, "I'll let you know." When his friend started for home the last thing he said was, "Be sure and let me know how many- rats yon catch. A hunlred is a good many." The trap Uncle Aaron was at work on was a sort of platform almostas large as a big barn door, and the plan was to weight it with heavy rocks, raise one end about three feet from the floor, and have it so rigged that the pull of a string would spring it and let it fall to the floor, making it decidedly uncom- fortable for any living thing that might happen to be under it. After arrang- ing it to his mind he began to bait it. He threw meal all around and under the trap, and went to a place conveni- ently near and watched things: He did not have to wait long before he counted at least twenty rats busily in- vestigating that meal. But they did not go under the platform; This was kept up for several days, and after a while the patient watcher, who spent an hour pr two every day in seeing them manoeuvre, had the satisfaction of see- ing several of the rats venture under the trap. Then he knew his plan would be a success. He could pull the string almost any time of day and catch a dozen or twenty, but he was "lying low for a bigger haul. The upraised platform was no longer aterror to the animals. They took the ''bait from un- der it as readily as could be desired. Finally, Uncle Aaron thought the time was ripe to pull the string. He had not. baited it the night before, so the rodents would have a keen appetite when he sprinkled the cheese crumbs and ' eal that morning. After this he tookin up his position and waited. First on ra —a sort of pioneer—came gliding on MA_ began to partake of the feast. ext a pair came out ; then three or our, then a dozen. They came fro all} directions. Uncle Aaron Was act ally trembling with excitement. He Dal hardly keep his hand from pullin th string. But he waited until the pac under the platform seemed fairly iv with the creatures ; and then—he pull ed. Down went the heavy pia for with a crash. A number of the rat were ween scampering off ; but ncle Aaron felt confident that he had nailed some of 'em. As he came up he saw heads and tails protruding, an he thought he would give them all a good square, chance to die before he raised the trap. He waited till night and then he lifted it. He counted one hun- dred and twenty-two dead rats.—Hart- ford (Conn.) Times. A'True Story About a Craw's. Roost. A gentleman who'lives about. six, mile north of our city reports what isl, probably the most stupendous thing in the Way of a crow roost that has ever been seen. The roost is in the lagni ficent woodland of Mr. Inkshee , and our informant estimates the num er of birds at 150,000,000. He says the largest oak trees have been upr oted and smaller ones crushed into ki ling wood by their weight ; that the oise made by them is so great tha ` the people for three miles around h ve to staff cotton into. their ears, and are only able to communicate with each other through speaking trumpets after the crows begin to assemble. Qattle weighing 1,500 pounds have been illeii by the birds and their bones p'cked clean, and the skeletons of hog and sheep which weighed 150 to 200 p unds are Gangling from the trees whea the crows have carried them, and the whole country is strewn with bones, as in the prophet's vision -of "the valley of fTeho- saphat." Shooting at them is eXceed r ingly dangerous. A gentleman ih the employ of Mr. Inksheep fired two }shots into one of the trees and narrowly escaped suffocation from falling bids.-- Lexington S. C., Press. A Commercial Traveller s Successful Ruse. Some commercial travellers, says the Providence Press, understand human nature pretty thoroughly. One of them who had been through the South and West pretty extensively, but had never been East, came to Provi- dence recently. Going down one of the principal thoroughfares quite early—he saw an establishment dealing i his kind of goods. He stepped in, incwired for thero p rietor,_and handed hi fn his P F card. The proprietor gruffly informed his visitor that they wanted not ing ; had more goods in the store than they could sell in five years. "Who sked you to buy anything !" said the t avel- ler. "I am a stranger here, and not feeling very well, I want a glass of brandy. I thought you might be able to tell me where 1 can get one." The proprietor suddenly became very affable and offered to go with his vilsitor. When they had, returned to the they sat down and talked abort weather, and various other thing not a word about business did the met'cial traveller utter. An hoz more passed in that way, and the proprietor questioned his caller his samples. The latter was apps ly very reluctant in showing then I was finally prevailed upon to di Before he had left the store he had taken orders amounting to about) nine thousand dollars.

Scarcely of less import than sex and age are the height, size, and general proportions of the figure. Tall and stumpy people cannot with impunity be dressed in one pattern, the stately lady sweeping through marble halls can gracefully carry queenly robes that would crush the pretty little lady dwel- ing in a cottage. The present incli na- tion is to treat dress as a drapery, and to consider the one as simply utilitarian, and the other, as if of necessity, su- premely artistic. The points of the figure are used as pegs whereon to hang out decorative fabrics, and possibly Sartor Resartns might stigmatize our living ladies as lay figures and orrlr in- telligent men as stalking clothes -horses. Some dresses are for sitting or stand- ing only, some for walking, while others reduce the free action of the figure to physical endurance. A lady making a morning call was asked to take a seat,. but she begged to be excused, neeause having on "a walking costume] she could not sit down. Yet nature in building up the human frame -work had a more extended scheme, which fash- ion would do well not so relentlessly to thwart. As to the , length of a dress, that will much depend on whether the feet are of a beauty deemed to be worth displaying ; if inviting to cast a .glimpse on, they will probably be permitted "like little mice to peep in and out," hence some ladies wear"gowns always short when other people's are long, and go about holding them up above the highest water -mark in fine weather." The shoulders, which call for at least as much anxious care as the feet, admit of varied decorations, as with scarf, shawl, mantilla, veil, robe, toga. "A black scarf carries an air of respect, which is in itself protection. ' woman r thus attired, glides on her ay like a small close -reefed vessel, Egli, and trim,''seek- ing no encounter but lirepared for one. Much, however, depends on the wearer; indeed, no article of dress is silch a revealer of the character. Some women will drag it up tight to their shoulders, and stick out their elbows in defiance beneath. Such are of the independent class with strong opinions. Others let it hang loose and listless like an idle sail, losing all the beauty of the outline --both moral and physical. Such ladies have usually no opinions at all, but none the less a very obstinate will of their own." A real lady hits by intui- tion the happy mean; she does not"put on a turban to drink tea with two people, or an innocent white frock for a party of 200 ;" she does not appear as a mil- liner popped out of a band -box, or as an artist just stepped from a picture,; or as an antiquary kept usually as a curiosity under a glass case ; she moves at re- —Ou S nd Jeremiah Ro 'son, a leading f rmer of London t wn hip,committed s icide by hanging imsdf with a plow 1"ne while the family were at 'church. he cause of thea melancholy act is su posed to have hen L niporary insanit , as the decease was at one time an mate of the Le den Lunatic Asylum.
