A Rio Grande engineer recently shot a wildcat near Neer Castle, Colo., from the e,ab of his engine. The smallest known insect, the pterato- mas putnamii, a parasite of the ichueurnon, is about oae-ninetieth of an hach .in length. A bill has been introduced in the Virgin- ia house of delegates to tax dogs at their true value, the tax thus derived to go to the state school fund. "Cool ea a cucumber" is scientifically correct. Investigation shows that this -vegetable has a temperature of one degree below that of the surrounding atmosphere. Professor A. C. Reese, of Carrollton, Ga., haa been teaching school fifty-six years. He says he has taught nearly 5,000 pupils and never bat had but two to die in school time. Seeing a runaway horse dragging a little boy by the feet along the road a nervy Haatings, (Neb.), girl took a hasty aim with a rifle she had with her and killed the horse, thus saving the boy's life. A Virginia City, Nev., youth was recent- ly detected in the act of shooting an arrow, with a. cigarette attached, through a broken _window in the rear of the jail to some boys who were imprisoned within. Risso relates that on one occasion a huge female ray was captured at sea, and her mate followed the boat for three days, and thgeot died. These "devil fishes" are said bedeome to defend their young with great courage. The coldest region in theeUnited States, it is said, is that part of northern Minne- sota which ries acljecent to the Dakota bor- der. The thermometer there sometimes registers a, temperature of 50 degreea.below Zero. The inhabitants of the Cook Peninsula, in Australia, are passionate smokers. Their pipe—a bamboo 3e feet long and 4 inches in diameter—passes round the company after one of the persons present has filled it with smoke from the tube. From eastern Asia comes a plant the flow- ers of which contain a quantity of juice that rapidly turns black or deep purple on expo- sure to air. It is usei by Chinese ladies for dyeing their hair and eyebrows and in Japan for blacking shoes. At a meeting of the Essex County (N.J.) Council, the lunatic asylum committee re- ported that. the superintendent of the asy- lum had intorrned them that the chief cause of lunacy there was the marriage of cousins and the next principal cause WAS drink. At Cotta, in Saxony, persons who did not pay their taxes last year are published in a list which hangs up in all restaurants and saloons of the city. Those that are on the list csa get neither meat nor drink at these placerender penalty of loss of license. nee.

In Persia boys aud girls never play to- gether. The little girls have to invite play- mates of their own sex, but, their games are never lively ones. They geeerady prefer to sit by themselves under die shade of mulberry or pomegranate trees in the gar- den and listeu to fairy tales, which theii mothers and nurses can tell very interest- ingly, indeed., A Germantown jeweler and watchmaker has a curioeity in the shape of a Plymouth Rock hen that has been surprising her owner and some of the neighbors for some time past. by laying eggs of various patterns. Her latest effort was one that closely re- sembles a grub, even to the form of the head. It is about three inchea in length and of a perfectly white color. At one time the number of swans in England must have been enormous. Paulus JOVilLS, writing three and a half centuries ago, declered that he never saw a river so thickly covered with swans as the Thames; and in 1625, when John Taylor, the water poet, rowed from London to Christchurch, and then went up the Avon to Salisbury, he was amazed at the swarm of birds on that stream. Ten years ago the the scenery of the New Zealand Alps was almost unknown, even to the colonists. But in 1882 _Rev. W. IL Green, with two first-class guides, explored the glacier region beneath the highest peak —Aorangi, or Mount Cook—and arrived, after a long, difficult and dangerous climb, on the summit of that mountain. Since then the "Britain of the South" has be- come proud of possessing the "pleyground of Australasia." Two young city -bred women, daughters of a prominent wholesale merchant in nau Francisco named Lowenstein, are living on and working a land claim in the State of Washington, between Hadlock and Port Ludlow. They took up the claim. two years ago and have lived on it continuously since, built the cabin in which they live and have cleared and grubbed twenty acres of land. Their nearest neighbor is four miles away. Some of the younger squaws of the Tar- ratine tribe of Indians are better looking and better educated than many of their white sisters. Alice, an eighteen -year-old daughter of John Francis, the big hunter and trapper of the Penobscot, is a very pretty and graceful girl, with dark, lustrous eyes, and a clear olive complexion. She speaks English, French and the Terra - tine dialect, plays the piano, and makes many kinds of fancy work, and has travelled some. From the timber region in Clatsop County, Oregon, comes a novel notion of cutting off a section of a tree the length of an ordinary railroad car, and then, with an adze and other proper tools, cut the door in the ends, the windows at the sides, and make a regular sure enough car for folks to ride in out of one solid section from a tree. That would be a great obejet les- son, and would give the eastern people a correct and vivid idea of the kind of trees on the coast. John and Samuel Manning, twin brothers, living on the same farm near Reserve, Ind., married twin sisters in 1881, both of whona died in 1889. In .1891 the brothers became acquainted -with twin sisters named Swope, and there was another double marriage. A new building material, of ancertain origin, but called "fossil coral," is being worked on a small island of the bay of Sure, Fiji- It is so soft that it can be easily cut into any desired form, but soon hardens when exposed to the air, and acquires the characteristic of fire brick. The British Museum originated withi a grant by parliament, in 1753 of £20,000 to the daughter of Sir Hans Sloane, in pay- ment for his fine library and vast collection of the productions of nature and art. To this collection were added the Cottonia,n, Harleian and other collections. Haw much a man may love a horse and hate to lose him has recently been shown in the case of at. old farmer out in Illinois, who travelled over 1,000 miles of countey trying to find an old $.25 plug which was stolen from him two years ago. He got the animal at last in Georgia._ A Utica, N. Y., church has placed in its Sunday -school roone what is knowu as a Sunday-sehool. thermoineter. It is a novel device tor registering the attendance of the Sunday -school every Sunday as announced by the secretary. It runs from zero to 560, and changes every Sunday. In taking medicine due regard was form- erly paid by the superstitions to the posi- tions of the moon at the time—different parts ot the body, they supposed, being under Its influence according to the zodiacal sign through which the planet happened to be passing et the time. In Paris male domestic servants are en- couraged to marry, as they are observed to be more settled aad attentive to their duty than when bachelors. In London such marriages are discouraged, as rendering ser- vants more attentive to their own families than to those of their masters. There exists in some parts of South Da- kota, Volorada and Texas, a singular va- riety of grass called the "sleepy grass." When in a fresh, green state this plant is strongly charged with narcotic propensi- ties, so much so that horses and cattle grazing it are thrown into profound sleep. }envelopes are supposed to be quite mod- ern, but in the Birch manuscripts in the British Museum, No there is a letter from Martin Triewald to Sir Hans Sloane, dated Stockholm, April *dst, 1755, inclosed in an ordinary envelope, which is opcued out and monaited at the end of the letter.

Their minds were shielded by their par- ents and their friends, and the latter were careful in their presence. A word was anfficient to make them pass quickly over a dangerous subject. "Do not forget that there are some young girls here"—andlthe and inquired, How to the deuce did you accumulate so much wealth'?" "DO you re- member the contract you Made when we were firs': married ?" Yes, he replied, "1 do." " SV.Il, I iiiviated it, and it has made us doh." The trete liug man hung his head and said nothing. T thirty minutes, until alarmed, asked, " Wh was kept up for his wife becoming t in the world is the matter, arid what are you thinking about ?" "1 was thinking of how rich we would be if I had done all my kis ing at home.—Michi- gan Tradesman. story would be stopped short. Everthin y- g, as I say, was done to keep the thoughts of young girls on poetic, gay and juvenile sub- jects. Facts about nature and science were only revealed to them when they had to be initiated into certain mysteries of life. A young woman whostudied botany became a curiosity the moment when she pronouno- ed certain words. Ornithology was the most accepted science, because it was use- ful to mothers at the time of marriage for certain necessary revelations. The mete and the little birds gave a poetic turn tr, talks that were necessary on the wedding day or the day before. But how many girls have been frightened and unnerved at these revelations, and how they would have fled to the far ends of the earth if they had dared, rather than contract a marriage, as Monsieur le Marie says ! Our young women, whether of the higher -or the lower nobility, of the peasanry, or the tradespeople, lived in a com- plete -and . ethereal ignorance. They did not know - evil. It is quite true that they were not arnacd to guard or de- fend themselves, and they were oft -en thrown into marriage unprepared, because of scruples and hesitations only too common on Vite part of mothers, who have not the slightest suspicions of the consequences; and they are as often indignant and disgust- ed by the exigencies. Ou the other hand, a. young girl who opposes har family in a reasonable marriage with no other pretext than that the aspirant did not please her later en, refuse to c isonss the matter with tree, The game is to keep a place on the bough, which swings with their weight as with a. cluster of fruit, %sidle the players struggle to dislodge one another, eaeleas ne drops, running round and climbing up again to begin anew.
