SLAVES OF FURNITURE.
anise Result of Women seeing- Afraid
of Beetles send mice.
If man is the slave of a dog, woman
is the slave of furniture. If women
only knew how much more graceful -
and the only way is to appeal to their
vanity—they would be reclining on–the
floor, they would never it up on chairs
or round a table. That this is funda-
mentally true is proved by the fact
that they are never so happy as at a
picnic, where there are no chairs and
tables. I really believe that the craze
for putting everything on something
above the floor -by which I mean ta-
bles, sideboards etc. -grew from the
eitstom of sleeping in ugly, cumber-
some and dirt collecting beds instead a
on the floor. Of course the reason why
women do not sleep on the floor is be-
muse they are afraid of beetles and
mice and other harmless things. Wom-
en, therefore, having Invented the bed,
invented the table to stand by it, and
thus spread the habit of putting every-
thing above the level of the floor.
Woman's original sin of being afraid
of black beetles and mice costs man
more than all the royalty, armies, na-
vies, pension lists, prisons, poverty,
schooling, national debts and wars of
Europe.
I am sure I am not putting It too high
when I say that the average cost of fur-
niture per house is $1,000, and if the
world would only agree not to cumber
its rooms with beds and tables, side-
boards cabinets and chairs our ground
rents would be about half what they
are, and the overerowding of our cities
would come down proportionately.
"Domestic Blunders ef Women."
+0
The Conduntorei Honest Raketnr.
A. conductor of a Sixth avenue car,
during a lull in the ringing Of: fares,
stood passing coins from one hand to
the other, turning UD the date of each
coin as he did so. "There are more
ways of making money than by 'knock-
ing down' fares," he remarked, noting
the inquiring look on a passenger's
face. "Any greenhorn can pocket a
dozen nickels in collecting 120 fares In
a car built for forty-eight passengers,
but a man has got to know t something
to spot a coin that has a premium
val-
-ue. surprising how many more or
less rare coins pass current witheut
falling into the hands of some one who
knows their value. This was suggest-
ed to me one day, and 1 took to study-
ing the catalogue of dealers in rare
coins and memorizing the, dates of
those that are worth more than the
prices stamped on them. Since then I
have picked out of the money I have
taken in fares several hundret edillS
With a premium value ranging from a
few cents to $5 and have redeemed
them with my own money and sold
them to dealers in coins."
"Blegrovh7 et a snowflake."
Under this title Mr. Arthur EL Bell
In Knowledge describes the life history
of the aerial frost flowers of winter.
In order t� have a fair start in life a
snowflake should be built up ye a par-
ticle of dust. Then, if it has the good
fortune to begin its career at the top,
of a cloud many miles above the earth
and to pass through may atmospheric
strata, differing in their temperature
and the amount of moisture they con-
tain, our snowflake is very likely to
become a notable individual among its
kind. In a stratum of warmer air the
little flake catches moisture on its tiny
spleulen and when it enters a colder
stratum below the moisture is frozen,
and so the flake grews. In a thawing
air many flakes sometimes cohere,
forming disks from an inch to two or
three inches across.
Ragged Islaad.
Ragged island, alias Crie Haven, on
the coast of Maine, Is certainly happy,
above most islands. It has neither
mice nor magistrates, though its in-
habitants number nearly fifty. The
eontary doctor comes over when want-
ed from the mainland. There Is not
the solace of a church, but there is also
not the distraction of a lawyer. There
are a few cows and horses, but neither
dogs nor cats, nor is insect life, If pres-
ent at all, a nuisaltee'even in the hot-
test season. The natives catch lobsters
and eat all that they cannot sell.
Plante That Hate Each Other,
Fancy two plants being so unfriendly,
that the mere neighborhood of one Is
death to the other! Yet that is the case
with. two well known British plants.
These are the thistle and the rape. If
the field is infested with thistles, whieli
come up year after year and ruin the
crops, all you have to do is to sow it
with rape. The thistle will be absolute-
ly annihilated.
A Monster Bird.
Freddie -Ma, the bat is the biggest
bird that flies, ain't it?
Ma -By no means, Freddie.
Freddie -Well, anyway some of 'em

Friees For Sermons. '
Much has been Said of the practi e
of buying and selling sermons, a pra
tice, by the way, of no very sped 1
novelty.- Just before Topladyi w a
about to be ordained Osborne, the boo
seller, the friend of Johnsen, offer d
to supply him with a stock of megin 1
sound sermons for a trifle. "I Would
sooner buy secondhand clothes," w:
the
the tart reply. "Don't be offended,
said Osborne. "I have sold many to
bishop." , The price of sermons, as 11
all else, has varied with the time. I
1540 a bishop of Llandaff received!fro
the churchwardens of St. Margaret'
Westminster, for a sermon on the a
nunciation a pike, price 2s. 4d.ete ga
Ion of wine, eightpence, and boat hir

tury sermons seem to have been value
at about'5 shillings each.

Native Wireless Telegraphy.
The Londdn Spectator is giving in-
stances of the raysterious conveyance
of information by South African na-
tives by a species of "wireless teleg-
• raphy" with wnich the white man
has not yet bOcome fa.milliar. 11. Rid.
er Haggai:a, in the issue of Decem-
ber 27th, contributes the- following
instance:
'About twenty hours before men,
• riding as fast as horses could carry
• them, brought the news of the disas-
ter at Ieandhlwana to, Pretoria, an
fold Hoteentot, my washerwoman, in-
' formed me of what had' happened as
• an item of interesting news • while
delivering the clean clothes. She said
that Ceteway.o had gained a great
,victory, and that - the rool-batjes
, (red coats) lay upon the field of bat-
' tle `like winter •leaves beneath a
•1 tree,' 1 remember I was so impress-
ed with her manner that 1 went down
to the Government offices to repeat
to my superiors what she had said.
If I recollect right, she stated that
the defeat had taken place on the
previous day (January 22, 1879),
but my late friend, Sir Melmoth
(then Mr.) Osborn pointed out to
me that it was impossible that Such
tidings could have traveled two hun-
dred miles or so in about twelve -
hours. Nevertheless, it proved per-
fectly correct. Ais to the method of.
its conveyance I hazard no opinion.
,
The theory that intelligence is con-
veyed with eectraordinary rapidiity
, among the Bantu peoples by men
calling it • from - height to height
would, however, appear to be falsifi-
i ed by the fact that in this instance
it .must have come across the great
plain of the high veldt."
Vitality of Human Skin.
Bits of skin rern.oved from the
'body do not die at once, but live a
considerable teme-that is, they show
,the same characteristic reactions as
when atta,ched to the body. One of
Ithese signs is the reaction obtained
in healthy. skin to strong electric
'shocks, and this has been observed
I,as long as ten days after removal_
from the body. The reaction al-
ways takes place when the skin is
tested within forty-eight hours af-
ter _removal. ,Observatiens on skin:
transplantation in surgery show that
ekin may be kept alive, with proper
precautions, for as long a period as
twenty-one days, when • it may be
grafted successfully. The -Lancet ev-
en tells of a case where from skin
Parings preserved for six months in
eterile. fluid, sixteen out of •twenty-
two transplantations were successful.
This is a striking examele of the
fact, familiar. to physiologists, that
the local death of a part and the
general death of the whole orgaelsra
nay occur independeatly, so that a
mrt may die while the body lives,
end on the other hand a part may
live for som.e time ,after the body -has
-
died.
Late Primate's Hatred of Verbosity.
I Dr. Temple's hatred of verbosity
was intense, according to the Eng-
lish papeis. On one occasion a
Clirgyrnan SO 1) his Otace's per -
Mission to add a second living to
the one he already held. "What is
the, distance between the two
itaces?" asked, the archbishop. "On-
ly fourteen miles as the crow flies,
tny lord," was the eager reply. "You
at en't a crow; you can't fly; you
Shan't have it!" snapped Dr. Tem-
ple. Another time his chaplain was
Surprised to eeceive a telegram from
the arch!, lishop consisting 41 only the
rDeids; "Third John, 13, and 11,"
tystified, the chaplain turned up his
e and read. -'I had many things
to write, krut I will not with ink and
pen write unto thee. But I trust I
shall shortly see thee and we shall
peak face to face. Peace be to thee,
Our friends salute here. Greet thy
friends by name." -

John lEnoxes House.
Theground floor of John Knox's
house, in High street., Edinburgh,
has been tra.nsionned into a 'quaint
haunt of old books. It has been in.
turn a hairdresser's, public house,
greengrocer's, restaurant, and to-
bacconist's. "Ye house of John
Knox," whieh is one of the most
picturesque of Edinburgh' relics, was
Istanding in 1490. Surviving many
vicissitudes till 1559, it was then
'rented by the Town Council of Ediri-
iburgh for the "lodging" of John
Knox, when they called him to be
minister of St. Giles, in 1559. Frona
tho west window he frequent0
preached, and here, i,n November,

• Loans ert St-Cten. Watches.
Of wateheet alone there are received
:eere need at the -twenty-two branch of -
ices from a ;thoneand to twelve hun-
dred a day, about 350,000 in a year, the
average loan on a Watch being 30 or
40 francs. The ofgelal assured me that
in this great number of watches scarce-
ly one in a tbousand has been stolen,
the fact- being that people who have
come dishorieStly by watches or other
property Dght shy of the mord de piete.
Thereason. o this was presently made
plain as we Watched the formalities of
Decord, and 1 realized how difficult it
would be for any one to de business
here under a concealed identity.- Everyt
client receiving a ;owl greater than 15
francs must tkroduCe some official doeu-
ment-an inSuranee policy, a citizen's
voting card, a perinit to carry arms or
a rent receipt bearing his eignature and
throwing light upon his station in life.
For loans under 15 francs the client is
simply required tet show an envelope
through the roans to his address. All
these facts, with various others, are
duly inscribed upon, huge record sheets,
so that whoever deals with the inont
de piete expOses hiraself to the scru-
tiny that must be ungrateful to folks
of shady antecedents, indeed, certain
persons make this a grievance again
the inont de ioiete and declare the Paris
systera an Impertinent infrusion upon te
client's prinetcy, Which would seem a
point badly taken if the client Is an
honest •man. -Cleveland Moffett on

"I wish I had not played bridge with
Mr. X.," said a girl recently. 41 thought
him so nice before, and now my liking
for him has quite gone- He was so
keen about trifles, Insisted upon ever
forfeit, questioned the score and seem-
ed so annoyed when he lost, and yet
the stakes were very small, and he
was only (nit a few dollars; so, of
course, it was not the money. It must
have been the disposition of the man
coining mit under provocation, and the
test did not show 111333 up to advantage.
Now, Mr. Z., the ether man at the ta-
ble, was so good natured and such a
gentlenaan In his play that I quite like
him, although I never thought him at-
tractive before." '
All games of competition may be said
to assay certain characteristics, but the
most crucial, test seems to be card
playing, and bridge -is responsible for
many a coolness !resulting feom self
betrayal at the .green table.
The Badger es a Fireman.
A badger Which bad made ith hone
among the granite cliffs dealt with the
fire god with sagatity and skill, says
Nature. A friend, while painting a sea
piece, discovered a badger's lair and
-thought to play tho animal a praetleal
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds, he placed it Inside the
mouth of the hole and, igniting it with
a match, Waited for the ignominiotts
flight of the estonished householder.
But Master 'Badger was a resourceful
animal and not disposed to be made a
butt of pradtical jokers. He came up
from the depths of his hole as soon as
the peuetrating srooke told him that
there was a fire on the premises and
deliberately scratched earth on- the
burning grass with Inc strong claws
until all danger :woe past No human
being could have grasped the situation
more quickly- or ;displayed greater sIdil

• The Rad of as Tree.
Among the curiouS things discovered
by the students of plant life Is the fact
that a bud taken from one tree and
grafted on another itarries the age of
the original Itree With it. It has al-
ways been. believed tbat tbe bud BO
transferred began wholly new life,
but this new theory it may, after all,
be more theory than: fact as yet -shows
the matter in an entirely different light
For example, if a ,bud be taken from
a tree that is;twenty-five years old with
a natural life of fifty years and grafted
on another eree it Will not live as long
as its parent tree is ,entftled to live, the
full ilfty years, but only for tbe period
of life then left to the tree, twenty-five
years.

in Detroit and one day decided that the

pose. So he went ne the telegraph of-

'Will you marry me? Twenty word

" ‘You •are extravagant. Why pay

"What do you consider tbe most im-

"Arithmetic," answered Mr. Cumrox.
"Give a boy plenty of arithmetic. What

from a $1,040 income."
