The dogs would have followed me. had to Shut them up to keep them back. It makes the cold shivers run through me now, oven here in this safe place and with all your faces around me, when 1 think of that awful night. Stars twinkled in mil- lions in the sky and from every frost -covered tree. Rays of light came glittering from the ice, from the snow drifts, front encrusted branches, and the broad river like a jewelled zone swept twixt the mightyforests. And yet all was si till as death, as f the cold had deadened tree, air, water and everything, 'except the ringing of my skates, which ,echoecl back teein the hills with ataetling eleerness, and the throbbing of my heart, I Was now some miles from home, and nearing the shanty, which was reached by turning up a small stream, where fir and hemlock of a century's growth met overhead. All was dark within. I SLUMBERED AS I ENTERED, but:was brave and laughed away the fear, then gave a loud hurrah 1 that echoed and re-echoed Omagh the woods. I stopped to listen, but the reverberations died away and left me listening to my heart alone. Sud- denly, as if froui beneath the ice came a low tremulnus sound, which ended in a long wild howl. I Started. I know it all. I heard the brushwood crash. The blood rushed to my forehead. I flew back to the broad river, my only means of escape, and just as I emerged. from the darkness I saw two wolves al e ,enie as fast, as they could come. On I we , he shore flew past as if I were on a train of cars. I neared a small point, but kept well out, to be on smoothest ice. Well I did,for a dozen wolves jumped from it to the ice as I passed. my: ener of mind and body was exerted to eacape. At Illfeel afro' . or not afraid; one thought rt, I did not look back, I did at • ot home, of right faces awaiting me, of -*their tears, if I should never come back; • and another, a picture of all the transgres- sions of my life, those were all. I was a ' good skater; good I was, or I should not be here to tell you o this. After going quite a distance, I bogie - to realize the situation, and thought I n u e getting away from the brutes as no m re yelps were heard. I had been making such a fuss myself. I could hear nothing but the yelps and howls. I looked back. There they were almost at my heels. I could hear the pattering of their feet, the snuffing scent. I FELT THEIR VERY BREATH 1 Again, I exerted every nerve and muscle. The trees along the shore seemed to dance in uncertain. light. My breathing became spasinedie. A. feeling of despair took pos- session crime; I gasped a short prayer; small spot, snow-covered, lay before. I may trip there. I turn suddenly to the right. Oh, thank Godl Awsy they t slicting on their haunches and snapping their white teeth in the moonlight. I had gained a breath or two, and time to think; my plan was now to turn whenenever they got too close. They gained their feet and sprang toward me, but I took an angle,. and saw em s e again. I saw them slip the second time. Now if I had only had the gun or a revolver. It would not have done to try a stick—to let thein get soinear. I inade a circle. I had got my bretith back now. They were furi- ous, and foamed at the mouth. Once I de- layed too long to turn, and one came so near he snapped at nie. •Hcl myskt me, had 1 tripped s or had the ice been less smooth, theywould have caught me. They could catch up always when I kept straight on. I thought all the .chances -over; . how they would seize me;' where they wonld seize me• how I would feel; how long It would be before I died, one BITING AT MY THROAT, • 1 others tearing my limbs to shreds, and then I thought of ray people searching for a body that already had its tomb. I was tiring the wolves and resting myself, but this would never bring me hoine, ao every now and then I would make a dash straight again for a. hundred yards or two, then turn aside and let themslip again. At last I came op- posite our house the yelps and howls of the wolves a usedmv does. What a racket b they made to t out; brit that was enough, the wolves he -it, and not feeling quite equal to an end untor with such an enemy, ' turned tail and fled.

"Only fifty years ago the average dura- tion of human life in Great Britain was thirty years; to -day, according tp statis- tics, it is forty-nine years. In this fifty years the population has increased by 8,000,- 000. At least two out of these 8,000,000 of increase may be put down as the fruit of im- proved sanitary and medical work, and of victory ever preventable sickness. The solar motor, amen uaptaan John Ericsson, of gun -boat &me, has spent twen- ty years in perfecting, is highly spoken of by scientific men. It is inteuded to utilize the rays of the sun for the production of power to be applied te machinery. These motors cost but little more than a steam- engine, and are expected to do excellent work, especially in hot countries, where sunshine is the rule. The dependence on a clear sky is, however, likely to be a serious drawback in this climate. It has beenalotieed that deaf mutes are rarely affected with seasickness. The semi- circular canals of the internal ear are prob- ably absent or negative in function in these people, These canals are not organs of hoaxing, but of equilibration, and when dis- turbed give rise to vertigo and nausea. Dr. illtam Jones, of Cambridge, Masa., claims that a counter -irritant applied to the skin behind the ear will relieve seasickness. The counter -irritant may be a blister, or simply rubbing the pars until the skin is slightly excoriate. In many electric -light stations wires are run on the brick -work or on a eement floor. Bricks and ordhiary cement are exceedingly porous, and if water reach any part the whole becomes somewhat damp. Dynamos are placed directly over such a floor, and the intervening wooden base may become damp enough to make quite a dangerous ground at the machine in case, as often happens, there is connection on some part of the filled magnets with the wire. By thoroughly drying the brick and cement work, and saturating it with asphalt, ap- plied boiling hot with a brush, it will be found that the dampness can be prevented and good insulation insured. Otaiosity of Commerce. .Along the northeast coast of Africa, south of Cape Guaxdafui, there are no towns worth mentioning for some hundreds of miles. The Somali natives who live along the coast have had scarcely any dealings with white traders. A little while ago a smart fire in Aden made up their minds that by maintaining regular communications with this coast they would be able to build up a good trade. They therefore bought a little steam vessel and sent their agents along the coast to tell the natives that at certain times, if they would look out on the sea, they would see a, steamer coming, laden with beautiful goods, to give them in ex- change for hides, palm oil, and the other products of the Somali. region. The little vessel has now made several ups, and the experament has proved a great success. Knowing that they may expect the steamer at the date fixed, the natives for many miles in the interior flock to the shore at the different points where the vessel stops. A large crowd well burdened with objects of exchange waits the steamer, • which anchors off the coast while trading - boats put oehore, and a lively market is • soon in progress where a few hours before nothing coultrabe seen but the wide -stretch- ing sands that border this coast. • The goods that are most in demand among these new customers of the whites are Venetian glass -ware and American cotton shirtings. They drive very fair bargains, and it as noteworthy that the poor stuffs they bought at first bhey now discard for better goods. The same keenness has been observed among other African natives. The Congo tribes, for instance, will not touch now the poor jack-knives and flimsy cottons they were greedy for a fa- years ago. The grades of goods that the Congo State now takes to Africa for bartering purposes along the river coast is on an aver- age, from 60 to 100 per cent. more than the goods that were sold to the natives ski or seven years ago. The Towers of Silence. When the hour of de ath is at hand th dying Parsee is carried down to the cellar or the lowest room in the house—with what notion I failed to learn. .Afterward the body is borne to a great burial tower, there to be exposed to tho winds of heaven, the burn- ing sun, the beating ram, and all the host of foul carrion birds. Some rieh families have a private tower of their own, a sort of family Maufsolemn. The public burial towers, of which there are five, stand on Malabar Hill, in a garden el flowering shrubs over -looking the sea,. Here, amid fragrant bowers of roses and jessamine, stand these towers of Silence, as they are called, ghastly recep- , taeles for the dead. They are about 30 feet high said 60 feet wide. On the top of each Is an open grating on which the bodies are laid in three circles; children in the centre, then the women and men at the outer edge. ionemerabie birdof prey are forever hover- ing with their sharp hangry cries round these towers, or sitting needled on them, solemnly waiting for the grateful feast that is nevor long delayed—a feast which daily avereges three Parsecs, besides women and:, children for it is estimated that each day three of these prosperous, intelligent, Well -to -do -looking merchants find their last resting place in the voracious maws of thee° ravenous birds. And when the birde have done tlicir part, and winds and sun and rain have all combieed to whiten the eiceleton to a thing like polished ivory, gradually the bones scperete and fall through the open grating Into a well below the tower, avheace, it is said they ere taken by a subterranean paseage and cast into t ie sea, and so the space is loft clear for the text eomerta NATURAL RISTORY.

Jest what Adem wanted a dog for when there was nothing " sic him on" to is a puzzler, but it XS evident that tile dog appeared at an early stage iti this world's history, and that lie hes held his own wonderfully well.

The dogs of Ai-aerigs. are said to eonsnine $76,000 worth of provisions a year, and in return they bite twentsaone trauma and scare off ten or fifteen burglars. The tramp didn't mind the bite a and the burglars wouldn't have got any boodle if left aloue. The oidy reasonable excuse any man can make for keeping a clog is that he wants to annoy his neighbor. There are a great many stories about dogs saving human lives, giving fire alarms, stopping runaway horses and hunting up lost ohildren, but it is not expected that any one over 10 years of age will believe them. TEE OAT, The cat was mewing on the plains of Jeru- salem about the time the dog set out to fol- low Adam, and she came to stay. Every nation has its cats, and, as a natural se- quence, its rats and mice. Nature made the cat as a sort of experiment, and then had to manufacture rats and mice to give her some- thing to do. How she does it may be infer- red from the statement that the annual damage inflicted on the world by rats and mice is over a hundred millions of dollars. Millions of dollars are also expended for traps and poisons, while the cat dines on fried oysters and sleeps the hours away. No family should shelter a eat under the idea that she will keep the mice down. They will be aure to follow her to the house to secure safety. Boys who kill cats should put them out of pain ftS soon as possible. An average of ten dead oats to one live boy shonld be the record to strive for. TEE PIG. The pig is a familiar object in natural his- tory, and his origin dates back to some time before Noah had to pack up and go sailing. He got some pigs to go up the gang -plank and enter the Ark, but that was the only in- stance ever known where he accommodated anybody who was in a hurry. While there are several species and many breeds, no one travelling abroad into strange countries will ever mistake a pig for anything else. It was not until the year Ion that hiitflesh was eaten. Up to that time his bristles were supposed to run clear through him and clinch on the other side, and his meat was supposed to be made up of burdock roots, old potatoes and tomato cans. Theta are still some people who de Aare against pork, but when pork is a shilling a pound codfish is only seven cents. The pig alive is of no good to anybody, but when dead his meat can be made to answer for chicken, mutton, turtle, quail, venison and pork—his bristles are made into camel -hair brushes—his hoofs into glue, his legs into pickles—his hide into alligator skin, and his fat was used for lard un6il cotton seecl oil aud wagon gr I took its place. • A Daring Attack on. Confederate Cavalry., November 14, 1864, began Col. Henry Young's life as Sheridan's chief of scouts. Maj. Young very garefully selected his 100 men, taking most of them from my com- mand, where he knew the men so well. He , armed them with double-barrel shotguns , and two revolvers to each man. The re- volvers were carried in their cavalry boot legs. In a very short time Maj. Young and his scouts became the terror of all re- bel outposts and outlying detachmeds in , the valley. Soon the rebel vidette lines: ! had orders to fire on any one approaching them at night time without even waiting for a reply totheir challenge? and "Halt, • who conies there ?" Then a volley was their progranune. One night in November, 1864, 'Young deployed his 100 men in the edge of : a forest skirting a road that he knew a re- bel cavalry brigade was to pass on that night. His men as well as himself were dressed in rebel uniform and each man care- ! fully instructed and when the head of the I column of rebel cavalry ,had just passed I 1 Young'a command, he and his men mingled with them.

It is called the one-hundred-arul.eleven-ton- ner, is forty-four feet long and ith maximum service charge of powder is 900 pounds. It is to be mounted on a recently -launched British ironclad, the Benbow, It was fired three times in the presence Of a large coin-, pany of ladies and gentlemen. The first charge of powder was 600 lbs, the second 700 and the third 800. The noise was not as great as might be expected from the ex- ploeion ef suchenormous quantities of pow- der. The recoil was up an inclined plane, the machinery of which was so admirably adjusted that there was no violent vvrencit or wear. The total weight of the gun and platform is 225 tons, and the projectile was a frightful num of iron, weighing 1,800 lbs., which will pierce 33 inches of armour at the mile range.
