GOOD-NIGHT AND GOOD-BYE.
When the gold and the red of the setting sun
Grows pale and i'ades at the close of day;
t When the flooding splendor is over ami done,
And night draws on and covers its way,
I "We do not hope its return in vain,
K For we know to-morrow will come again.
B This is good-night.
When we part with a clasping hand at night
From the friend we love, we feel regret,
B[ And the bright, warm heart takes with it the
light,
And joy of our own hearthstone; and yet.
p This regret is not a lioj>eless pain,
For we know that the friend will come again.
This is good-night.
. ' When we leave the shore that has known our
rv? birth,
When we turn our longing sight to till
Our hearts with mem'ries of sorrow and
mirth,
-jS The throbs of e\}>e<tation are still.
!_ . And night drawson, while we strain our eyes
r For a long, last look of our paradise.
This is giKnl-bye.
F 'k When a soul is called from the busy crowd.
To tread the paths of an untried way
In garments of light instead of tin- shroud,
h And we look our last on the form of clay,
t We know we have said our last adieu,
b And the broken vows we cannot renew.
This is good-bye.
a When we stand at the gate at eve with him
H Who has filled our life with joy or jwin,
When we watch the waning light, grow dim,
J And know we shall never watch it again,
r We say the words and hear the reply.
And we know the farewell is spoken for aye|
This is good-night and good-bye.
I THE CAPTAIN'S STORY.
k "I can never pass that spot without
p thinking of an event tkat happened two
[ years ago," said the captain of the Flyr
by-Night, a lake passenger-boat trading
between Detroit and Port Huron, as he
pointed to a small house two miles away
on the American shore of lake Huron.
It was a trim white cottage with green
lattice-work, a well-kept little lawn, and
in front of it a tall flag-pole set into the
loof of a pagoda-like summer-house.
IP; Below it, at the lake, was a dock, and on
a huge sign-post one could read. "WarH
ner's Landing."
"It belonged.v continued the captain,
g "to old Captain Warner who sailed the
Boscobel. He died and left the property to
>>$ his nephew,in the State of New York, who
Sg brought bis wife and little boy with him
?? to live there. He was a gentlemanly J
I young man, well educated, and on ttie
right side of thirty. His wife was ?s
trim a little lady as I ever saw; pretty as
a picture, and a* light-hearted as a schoolgirl.
Not one of your namby-pamby
fashionable young women, but a fresh,
healthy girl, with a woman's heart and a
man's courage.
"But the gem of the family was their
boy Willie, who was nearly seven years
old, ana I do think the cheeriest and
most sensible little fellow in the State.
Sailors have always a soft spot in their
. - hearts for children, and the way that
youngster carried on during the trip
from Detroit, when we brought the
family up here, was a constant pleasure
and surprise. He was the king of the
boat. The steward's cabin, the pilothouse,
the porter's pantry, the ladies'
parlor?he appropriated to himself a free i
pass everywhere, end used it liberally,
lie found a snug corner for himself in
the hearts of all on board. Why, Iremember
one day, after the family had
been in the house there about three
months, a deck-hand, a surly fellow who
never had a civil word fur any oue, lugging
out of his pocket a colored picturebook
and leaving it at the landing, with
'For Willie, with Joe Price's love' written
on it.
"It was a lonesome soot for such peo?& -
pie to settle in, and I often wondered
^ how they could reconcile themselves to
it, until I learned that Captain Warner |
BKfe had made it a condition of his will that j
I| they must live at the landing two years. ;
"One day, when they had been there
about six months, we took up the river
from Detroit to them a small pleasurej
skiff with 'The Willie' painted in gilt
j letters on the stern.
"I never saw a child so pleased. He
; took to that boat like a duck to water.
3 We used to see him on nearly every trip
fas we pa3sed, sculling himself about in
jthe slip like a born sailor. I don't beflieve
in allowing children to be too venEturesome
ou the water, and so I told his
^father; but he laughed, and he said he
Sthought Willie was sensible enough to
Stake care of himself.
"One day, we were signaled to stop
at Warner's landing. William Warner
was going to New York. His wife and
boy were on the dock, wishing him as
tearful a good-bye as if he were on a two
years' voyage to Greenland.
"He, too, was in low spirits. He came
and sat by me in the pilot-house, and
looked as glum as if tbere'd been a death
in his family. At last he said, very solemn
and carne-t. 'I)o you believe in presentiments
of evil, Captain Ivenyon?'
" 'No!' I said, quite sharply, for I i
don't like to sec a man give way to such J
nonsense.
"He went down on deck then, half-offended,
and left the boat at Detroit without
even bidding me good-bye. We
were late leaving on our return trip that
night, and I was surprised to see, just [
before we started, Warner come on board, j
He had a small parcel in his hand.
" 'Captain,' he said, 'I want you to be ]
sure to leave this at the landing on your
way up.'
"J I can't,'I said, for I saw it was
only an excuse to get me to call and see j
I that his folks were all safe. ' We're late
here and at Port Huron we've a lot of |
staves to take on, which will make us |
laters till.'
" But he persisted, and when I saw
how down-hearted lie looked, I told him i
to give the parcel to the clerk and I !
would see what I would do when we ar- I
rived opposite the Landing. We left Port j
Huron in the middle of the following j
day. It had been very "not all the morning,
but as the afternoon advanced, a !
Iitiff west wind, accompanied by a
Irizzlicg rain, began to blow.
" It was so late when we approached |
;he landing that I had quite determined j
lot to call; in fact, we stood out in the I
ake a mile further than our usual course, i
! was taking a dog-snooze in my berth, !
vhcn the mate awoke ne.
" 'There's a women, sir, on Warners I
anding signaling us. and I think some- j
hing s wrong there.'
"I was on deck in a minute. 'Give '
,jie the glass,' said I, and I soon made !
out that it was Mrs. Warner, making
frantic gestures to catch our attention.
She was bare-headed, and stood in therein
at the end cf the landing. Then ;
she ran into the house and began to 1
wave a white table-cloth from one of the !
upper windows.
" 'Very likely she wants to know if
her dear William got to Detroit safely,' j
I grumbled; 'but I suppose we'd better
round to.'
"Au ?Vin Knat nimln tTlO rlflfk tile f'lerk
sprang ashore, and in a few minutes we '
had the whole storv. Willie had been i
playing with the ski IT in the slip, as lie
had done scores of times before. Mrs. I
Warner had been busy over some house- i
hold duty and did not notice that it i
rained. When she did, she went at once ;
to call Willie in. But she could not find
either the boat or the boy. Both had
vanished as though the lake had swallowed
them up.
* "She had not dared to go inland to
the village to seek help, for fear of miss- j
ing our boat as it passed, but she had for j
j hours been running up and down the j
shore calling in vain to her darling.
Some of the lady-passengers wrapped |
the distracted mother in shawls, for she !
would not delay a moment, and we put j
out into the lake.
I followed the course of the wind as i
well as I could, for I knew well enough j
that the little fellow had been blown out j
into the lake, where there was a but a j
small chance that we should find him, |
for it was unlikely so frail a boat could i
live long in such a heavy sea.
"For an hour we beat about without 1
seeing an object on the water, when i
away in the distance there was a dark I
spot that came occasionally in sight on !
tie top of the waves. 'Tom,1 said I to
my mate, 'can you make out what that j
is on the starboard quarter? Is it a log
or a boat?'
" 'It's a log adrift, sir.'
'"It's not.! I'm sure it's not! It's a

I saw, to my surprise, 3Irs. Warner, who
I supposed was in the cabin, peering
into.the drizzling rain. To all my appeals
to her to go below, she kept crying:
"It is a boat! it is a boat! He is !
saved!' |l
"Without a glass to a.d her vision, her j
strong mother-love gave her keenness of I
. sight denied to us. It was a boat. But '
it was only on my threatening to abandon '
the search that the wretched woman con- '
sented to go below. i
"Two minutes later ihe mate cried: i
'Yes, ax, it is a boat, but it's empty eo
3far
as I can see. There's nobody sitting
in it.'
"It was true. There the little skiff
was tossing about, like a cork on the ]
waves, with one scull dangling iu the
row-locks, but not a soul could be seen
in her.
' 'Tom,' said T, nervously, for I felt
sure the boy was not in the boat, and 1
actually trembled with apprehension lest
the sad news would kill his mother. (
'will you go down and tell that poor j
woman what wc have seen?'
"'Not for all the gold in California!'
said the mate decidedly; and yet he's as j
brave a fellow as ever sailed the lakes.
"We passed the word to have Mrs.
Warner taken into a cabin, as wc nearcd
the skiff. I felt so nngry with that poor
painted toy of a pleasure-boat,tnat1 nun
half a mind to run it clown. But of course
I wasn't (juite foolish enough for that.
The mate and two of the deck-hands put
oil in the yawl, for our wash would have
capsized the skill had we gone any
nearer. With a listless eye I watched
I them approach the boat, for I felt a
leaden weight at my heart, because I was
sure I should be obliged to tell the
young mother of her loss. I saw Tom
get hold of the painter, and then spring
into the ski IT. Then,?
j "Safe! safe! The boy is here!'
"It appears that the little fellow, tired
I of play, had lain down under the seat,
and had gone to sleep. In the meantime
the boat had drifted into the lake and it
had begun to rain. The drizzling rain
did not wake him, and he lay in as sound
a slumber as if he was in his bed at
home, and not a hair of his head hurt.
" Hut what a fuss there was aboard.
The women were all crying, anil the
| men, too, for that matter. And the
young mother, clasping the hoy fo her
heart, went straight down on her knees
and thanked God before then all for
sparing his life. I don't think words
ever came from a minister's lips that
went straighter up to the throne of
grace than that young woman's prayer.
"The family arc living East now.
William Warner is one of the few men
1 claim as personal friends, and as for
his bright little wife, if she were my
own child, I couldn't have a deeper regard
for her. And the presents they
send me! There is no use in my trying
to choke off their gratitude. !Not
the least. And every parcel comes
marked. 'With Willie's love."'?YouW?

Medicine as Practiced by Animals.
M. (J. Delaunay, in a recent communication
to the Biological society, observed
that medicine, as practised by animals,
is thoroughly empirical, out me saiue
may be said of that practiced by inferior
human races, or, in other words, by the
majority of the human species. Animals ,
instinctively choose such food as is best 1
suited to them. M. Delaunay maintains ,
that the human race also shows this instinct,
and blames medical men for not
paying sufficient respect to the likes and
dislikes of the patients, which he be- '
lieves to be a guide that may be depended '
upon. A larjje number ot animals wash !
themselves and bathe, as elephants,stags, i
birds and ants. In fact, man may take a i
lesson in hygiene from the lower animals, i
Animals get rid of their parasites by .
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suffering
from fevfer restrict their diet, keep i
quiet, seek darkness and airy places, <
drink water, and plunge into it. When J
a dog has lost its appetite, it eats that i
species of grass known as dog's grass, !
which acts as emetic and purgative.
Cats also cat grass. Sheep and cows, 1
when ill, seek out certain herbs. An ani- ?
mal suffering from chronic rheumatism
always keeps as far as possible in the sun. 1
The warrior ants have regularly organized
ambulances. Latreille cut the antenna1 '
of an ant, and other ants came and ]
covered the wounded part with a trans- <
parent fluid secreted from their moutns.
if a chimpanzee be wounded, it stops 1
the bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound, or dressing it with leaves and grass.
When an animal ha: a wounded
leg or arm hanging on, it completes the 1
amputation by means of its teeth. A
dog, on being stung in the muzzle by a
vinnr wn? nlwfrvf'd to llluniTC jtS head
repeatedly for several days into running
water. This animal eventually recov- (
ered. A sporting dog was run over by a ;
carriage. During three weeks in winter ?
it remained lying in a brook, where its ;
food was taken to it. The animal recov- ;
ered. A terrier hurt its right eye; it re- |
mained lying under a counter, avoiding f
light and heat, althoughvit habitually t
kept close to the tire. It adopted a
general treatment, rest, and abstinence i
from food. The local treatment con- ^
sisted in licking the upper surface of the i
paw, which it applied to the wounded
eye, again licking the paw when it be- (
came dry. Animals suffering from trail- 11
matic fever treat themselves by the con- |
tinned application of cold, which M. 1
Dclaunay considers to be more certain
than any of the other methods. In view ?
of these interesting facts we are, he
thinks, forced to admit that hygiene and i
therapeutics, as practised -by animals, <
ma)-, in the interest of psychology, be j
studied with advantage. He could go s
even further, and say that veterinary I
medicine, and perhaps human medicine, s
could gather from them useful indications,
precisely because they are prompt- >
ed by instinct, which are efficacious in i
the preservation or restoration of health.

Reverting to the non-existence of
napkins and the fact that in eating pig,- *
fish, seaweed and other ])rovender, the
fingers are apt to bec ome greasy and
otherwise tainted, the absense of napkins
is compensated by the presence
of poi. When your finger gets too
greasy go for the poi. When it is safely
landed at its final destination the grease
will have gone the way of the poi?and
everybody is happy.
Poi is eaten by dipping the forefinger
in the dish and yanking into the mouth
all that will stick to it.
Absent Minded.
"Hut speaking of absent-minded people,"'
said a Chicago gentleman, "there
is my wife,one of the most careful and
level-headed women in the world. But
one night last winter we went to a large
party and we both, for special reasons, ?
were more than anxious to appear well. (My
wife was greatly concerned about me,
as I am the absent-minded member of the
family, and looked me over critically and
carefully after I left the coat-room and
before we went down stairs. She was 1
herself all right, of course, and was su- t
perblydressed. We went down in high v
feather and had passed through the par- r
lors and had spent a delightful half hour L
ou parade duty, as it were, when my 1
wife suddenly turned nale in what I ^
thought was a fainting fit. I hurried f
her from the room, and was about to |
turn thr? hnap flown for rCStOra- r
tives, when she clutched my sleeve and u
j)ointed to her feet. She had before k
leaving home drawn over lier shoes a pair f
of my socks, and had forgotten to remove t
them. The thought that she had been ji
parading before three hundred people 1:
with those socks on was too much for t
her." 1

The Hivp Owner's Secret.
A story is told, in an exchange, that
n a village in Germany, where the num>er
of colonies kept was regulated by
aw, a bad bee season had nevertheless
noved that the place was overstocked
rom the great weakness of all the cololies
in the neighborhood. Then: was
)ut one exception, that of an old man |
vho was generalty set down as being no ;
viser than his neighbors, and this, perlaps,
all the more because he was very
bservant of the habits of his little
riends, as well as careful in harvesting
us much honey as he could. Hut how
:amo his colonics to prosper when all j
lie rest were falling oil? His cottage
vas no nearer the pasture, lie certainly !
nust have bewitched his neighbors' )
lives, or made "no canny*' bargain for j
lis own. Many were the whisperings
tnd great the suspicions that no good
vould come of the gaffer's honey, thus j
nysteri'uisly obtained.
The old man bore all these surmises
latiently. The honey harvest came j
ound, and when he had stored away just
louble the (piantity that any of the rest \
lad saved, he called his friends and j
leiguuors logeincr, look tnem into jus ; ?
jarden and said: "If you had been more f
haritable in your opinions, I would have ]
old you my secret before. This ).s tli'j j (
inly witchcraft I have used,'' and he (

>ne degree more to the cast than was . s
generally adopted. The conjuration was 1
loon cleared up; the sun came upon his :
lives an hour or two sooner by this]

trimmed with red crape, jetted red tips
and wings.
llats arc seen occasionally that have a
brim of lluted lace substituted for the
one of straw.
An attractive dress is a gray cashmere
with draperies of gray silk dotted with
cardinal chenille.
l>..iT/irl w.ctc nf wiittnn.il frnntm .is thc.v

imported dresses.
Seals are mc.fi and more generally used
on letters, and gray wax'is used in preference
to other colors.
Black pearl ornaments are used instead
of jet by ladles in second mourning. They
arc pretty, but expensive.
Pique collars arc still worn, and for
neglige costumes colored and striped
linen is used for collars and cuffs.
On some of the new bonnets is revived
the prim little bow under th<; chin and
held in place by a fancy little pin of
gold.
Silver braid is much used on Parisianmade
dresses and wraps, and when used
judiciously is a very ornamental and effective
trimming.
Pretty bonnets arc made of alternate
rows of silver braid and straw of dark
shades, such as irarnct, myrtle green,
sinoke color and black.
A costume of brown cashmere, with a
vest of chamois skin, is perhaps a rather
surprising combination, but is nevertheless
quite pretty and effective.
Spiders and owls have had their day
lor heads of bonnet pins, and oxidized
silver grasshoppers, locusts, dragon flics
and little birds are seen in their place.
A pretty black tulle bonnet is studded
with gold beads and has a high trimming
of golden chrysanthemums aud a gold
aigrette, the strings being of beaded lace.
The newest thing in the way of a sofa
pillow is a huge egg of pale blue satin
cut in live gores, and on one side a hand
painted decoration appears in the form
of a scene of " Sindbad the Sailor."
The wide neckties of white mull so
much worn a few seasons ago arc again
offered by those who import French
lingerie. These are a quarter of a yard
in width, and are hemstitched across the
ends.
The Circassian jacket, quite short at
the waist, square cut in front, opening
over a Russian waistcoat and belt, and
worn with a full trimmed or untrimmed
skirt, comes to us among other Parisian
novelties.
One of the dressiest toilets of surah,
trimmed with lace, has .1 deep !acc drapery
of bordered lace around the bottom
of the bodicc, lace elbow sleeves, and a
full lace yoke, strapped with ribbon
matching the surah.
Black stockings are still commended
with dresses of all colors and for all occasions.
Those of silk or of brilliant
lisle-thread with a slight clocking at the
sides are chosen in preference to those
elaborately decorated.
Some of the most delicately bcautifu
of the bonnets of white lace, mull or
crape are shirred in clusters on their
white frames and made graceful with
scarfs of lace and white clover blooms, j
lilies of the valley or snowball.
The latest costume of high ceremony
brought out from Paris consists of a pale I
blue Chantilly lace dress, worn over a
pale biuc surah slip. The blue net, on
which the white 'imitation) Chantilly
Bowers are applique, is fine silk tulle.
A Novelist's Methods.
In its sketch of Charles Keade the Pall
.1lull Gazette thus describes his method of
work : "At eight o'clock he used to rise.
At nine he breakfasted. At ten he beLjan
his work, which generally lasted
until two or thereabouts. His work
was done in the drawing room, from the
windows of which he could look on to
the smooth lawn, sometimes watching
the traffic as it passed the bottom of the
garden, or looking on at a game of tenuis,
or amused by the gambols of his
tame hares. "When the French windows
were closed no noise from the street
xmld reach him, though lie was not as
some authors, for he even tolerated the !
presence of a friend when at work.
When he had fairly broken the ice of a
itory he worked with great rapidity, and
sometimes for many hours without a rest,
lie loved great sheets of drab manuscript
paper, great pens and the blackest of
nk. As each sheet was done it was
lumbered and thrown on thelloor, which,
ifter a few hours, was carpeted with
nauuscript, The maid servant gathered
jp the sheets; they were put in order
md sent to his favorite copyist, who re.
urned them written out clean in a neat,
oitnd hand. Mr. Reade went over them
igain, slashing here or adding there.
Hie revised sheets were once more copied
)ut, once more revised, and then sent to I
lie printer's. Ptiiirh once declared that J
icompositor threw himself oil Waterloo
llridge in a fit of madness induced by
J. arles Keade's manuscript, a little joke
vlncli lie took much to heart. It proved
lfective, however, and was good for
lotli compositor and copyist. At times
le dictated a story, but this happened
cry seldom. He took no lunch, but
lined late, often going t > the theatre
iftcr dinner."

I'unel*?PrvMMcd Deer Ifeadn. jj
A taxidermist, who has an elaborately d
dressed show-window on a New York
thoroughfare, said to a Pod reporter: ?
"These imitation owls are of no yalue c
whatever; you cannot manufacture one j
to look like a real owl. The demand
for birds and animals for ornamenting ^
rooms and hallways is constantly increas- ^
ing. Just at present the rage is for
owls. We stuff and mount five varieties. .
The smallest arc the common screech 1
j owl. They arc the most popular, not 0
only because they are the cheapest, but .
j because they arc so 'cute' that few lady !'
customers can resist tlie temptation to J1
buy them. These owls are brought from *
all parts of this Statp, New Jersey and
Connecticut. Farmers' boys capture
them alive and kill them, or shoot them c
j and sell their bodies for twenty-five or v
j fifty cents. We mount them usually t
with their wings folded as they appear c
| when sitting on a branch of a tree. We *
usually mount them on a twig or c
: small branch, but sometimes place t
them on a crescent. We frequently c
: mount two of them together, a male and r
| a female. The feathers of the male arc s
I gray and those of the female are a brown- c
ish red. The screech owl has 'horns.' as T
the projecting feathers above the ears arc 1
called. This and the Virginia horned i

tinguished mark. They range in height
from six to nine inches, and retail at |
$<1.50 apiece. The meadow owl has a j
very large round head and is a trifle i
larger than the screech owl. They are j
brought from points near thecitt, chiefly (
from New Jersey, and sell at retail when j
inounled for $0. The bard owl, which ]
is very much like the meadow owl, only j
a trifle larger, is also a. native bird, A i
rood specimen properly mounted will '
readily sell for:? 10 to $12. The Virginia <
horned owl is not, as many people im- (
agine, so called because It comes from j
Virginia, as most of those which we re- j
ccive are brought in from the neighbor- (
hood of this city. They arc from twelve (
to eighteen inches in height and sell for
$13.
"The largest owl is the snow owl. It
is found in the northern parts of Canada,
Labrador and Manitoba. It is very rare,
and a bird standing two feet high iv j
worth all the way from $20 to $50. <
Their plumage is white mixed with gray.
The less color there is about them the <
higher the price they will bring. j
" The rage for owls has nearly driven <
the hawks out of the market. VVe have
very few calls for them, whereas a year ,
or two ago they were in greater demand J
than any other birds. Ilawks arc usually
stuffed with their wings spread. 1
Eagles are very scarce, and a fine specimen
of a bald eagle would bring almost '
any price. We occasionally dress herons, !
and they make a very pretty ornament.
" Just at present there is a steadily in- <
creasing demand for peacocks. We 1
dress them in a natural attitude, the 1
head turned slightly, and the tail drag- >
ging on the ground. Occasionally, for 1
a special order we will set up one with <
the tail spread, but the effect is not, by 1
any meaas, as tine, for the form of the 1
bird is not shown to so good advantage
when the tail is speard. Placed in a \
corner of a drawing-room or in the hall ,
of a country-house, with its tail touch- <
ing the ground, a peacock is really a (
handsome ornament. For ornaments on 1
brackets, tables, or small stands, we j
sometimes set up a brood of quail, or j
partridges, or woodcock. Other birds (
which arc occasionally used as ornaments t
in this way are the scarlet ibis, the white ^
cgra, birds of paradise, etc. These cost j
from SI8 to $'28. There is considerable ?
demand for humming-birds, either on t
the wing or mounted on a sprig. These t
specimens are usually displayec under t
glass covers. We receive a good many j
orders for setting up canaries, parrots, (
robins, blue jays, and other pet birds, f
For work of this kind the charge ranges
from $1 to $2.50.
"Dead game is always mounted on
panels, and retails at $(i, $10 and $15 per
pair. Sometimes we mount a single
large bird, but more frequently two birds A
are placed on each panel. In making up 1
these game panels we use canvasback, "
black, redhead, mallard, broad bill and
j gray ducks, widgeon, teal, woodcock, s

snipe, plover, willct, partridge, grouse c
and English pheasants. We make them
up in all ways, using two birds of the r
same kind or different, birds on one |
panel. There is a large demand for r
these game panels from artists for
models, from private families for wall t
ornaments in dining-rooms, and from
club-houses, and I have had more than
one order from a sporting club for one or ^
two pairs of game panels, and have
afterward seen these same panels pointed !
out as trophies of the skill of the mem- 1
bers of the club. We have orders for 11
j this class of goods from all parts of the
I country as well as from England, France, s
I and other foreign countries. We do a n
good deal of special work for clubs as li
well as for private sportsmen.
"We dress a good many deer-heads. n
The price of a good deer-head, with a j;
pair of fine antlers, ranges from $15 to n
according to the length of the neck j
and the size of the antlers. The charge
for dressing one is from $7 to $12. There
is a great demand for buffalo-heads, and
they will always find a ready sale. I have
an order now for six large buffalo heads, {]
and cannot get them. Yes, we do other c
special work beside, dressing pet birds.
Many owners of dogs who lose their pets j,
prefer to have them stuffed rather than j,
plant them at the foot of the grapevine. .
I have also dressed a number of cats, and
I was assured by one customer that a tine
black cat which I had set up at her 11
order, and which had inadvertently been 11
left out of doors, was nearly destroyed by J"
the blow of a well-directed boot-jack. I "
have set up fox terriers, King Charles
spaniels, poodles, Skvc terriers and
black-and-tans. We mount them in all e
s'Tts of postures, lying down, 'pointing,' h
tackling a rat, etc. 1 have recentlycom- v
pleted work on the head and neck of a <1
mastiff. The dog is represented as look- y
ing out. from the door of his kennel, and e
will make a very attractive ornament to b
the club-room in which it will be placed, e
"The method of preparing the skins of 1j
birds or animals is the same whether they v
are to be used as representing life or t
death. The llesh is carefully removed, s
and the inside of the skin is thoroughly
rubbed with arsenic. For stuffing we
use cotton, hemp, or some material of the
kind." b

Two Minds in One Man. ft
There is at the present moment a a
patient in one of the wards of a French 0
hospital whose case offers much interest n
to the faculty, lie is a soldier, and on w
the Sedan battle-field received a wound e,
in the head, which, though it healed
rapidly, has left very strange traces be- ^
hind it. Dr. Mcsnet, who is in attend- w
ancc on the man, describes him as hav- j,
ing two separate conditions of being, so ()
to say?one the normal condition of a j]
healthv man, in which he is able to
pursue oral nary avouauuiirj, >m: uwn, 1{
which he falls into unconsciously and in- j,
stnntancously, being a pathological con- j1
dition of a phenominal kind. In the ^
latter state the patient will act thus: j_,(
If a pen be placed in his hand, and writ- (j
ing material near him, lie will begin to
write carefully and intelligently. After jt
a couglc of lines have been written on s.|
one sheet of paper, this is suddenly (j,
withdrawn, and a fresh sheet substituted, ()l
the experiment continuing with four or it
live sheets, or until he signs his name, f
lie does not in the slightest degree per- jl;
ceive that he has not been writing all w
the time on the last sheet, and, after
allixing his signature, will carefully read
from the blank paper what he wrote upon |)(
the other sheets, crossing a "t," which 01
he imagines he sees in it, dotting an "i,"
and correcting a misspelled word, which jjj
is not traced, each of these corrections j-j
corresponding with the place of the word
or letter in the sheets that have been
withdrawn.?London Stuiubird.
Mind Heading. g<
Attention is given to die singular e>
theory in London that, ''mind reading." ta
as of late exhibited, is based on the mus- 111
cular action of the hand. At a recent w
sitting of savants and amateurs an expert ri
demons)rated, in a manner wholly satis- si;
factory to the spectators, his interesting su
proficiency in muscle reading. Though A
he admitted that he could not succeed re
against determined opposition, and de- m
dared it impossible to read abstract di
thoughts, the success attending his direct 01
efforts was surprising. He says that the T1
delicate muscles of the hand respond to fa
the processes of thought, that mental a|
action has its correspondence in muscu- lei
lar movement.and that where the mind is as
directed to the contemplation of a par- pi
ticular object or material fact, there is Ik
inodnced a disturbance of minute mus- th
cular forces which an adept can detect, at
and from which he may receive a guid- fn
in# impulse in his own mind, though its th
influence is unconscious. G

At THE GARDEN GATE.
"Come and unbar the garden gate,
My hands are full of gathered flowers,"
Sung blithesome Kate, as the painted sky
Was fading out 'mid evening hours;
A welcome song to my listening ear,
From prattling, pretty, winsome Kate;
So I hurried o'er the well-worn path
That wound along by the garden gate.
A cloud of fragrant apple blooms
Was hung so closely overhead
That even sly, eavesdropping birds
Could not make out a word we said,
Nor take a note of what was done
By bashful swain ami blushing Kate,
And both have kept the secret well?
Those happenings at the garden gate.
Bright roses bloomed on Katie's cheeks.
While fading sunlight bathed her hair;
A merry twinkle filled her eyes;
Her lips?well, kisses nestled there.
I drew the bar and cleared the way.
That she might pass, my bonnio Kate;
But toll was claimed; she paid; and I
Returned it all at the garden gate.
Long years have rolled away since then,
And we have lived and loved together,
Sometimes in sun. sometimes in shade.
Unmindful of the wind <>r weather.
Each year, when comes the apple blooms,
At eve I go with my darling Kate,
And on each anniversary day
Take toll anew at the garden gate.

The manly youth who would a maiden woo
Will profit if he keeps these rules in view;
Be not precipitate nor yet too slow;
be not ashamed at a rebuff or so.
j 11' she is unresponsive, distant, cold,
The wooer should be delicately bold;
If she is timid, diffident and shy,
Dun't fret, she'll liiid more courage by-and-by.
Let not her first refusal give distress:
A woman's no is often meant for yes.

The Use or Pain.
The Ctintunijiorari/ J'erii tr, in an article
on "The Utility of Pain," selects the eye
as an obvious example, being the most
sensitive organ and most noticeable as an
illustration of the law of natural warning.
Pain is a quick message to the senses that
something is wrong at the point that suffi.i-c
.mil wo nil know how onieklv the
eyelashes fall when danger threatens the
pupil or a speck touches it. Instead of
"winkers," the eyes of birds, anil certain
other creatures, are provided with a
folded membrane in the corners, which
Hashes out, and sweeps the surface of
the ball when an irritant object touches
it.
Destruction of the eye in these animals
would be a common occurrence if it wore
not for this muscular arrangement, and
pain is the- excitant; it is, as it were, the
linger which pulls the trigger, and so the
machinery n'i ready provided and prepared
is set in action thereby. In man the suffering
caused by a foreign body in the
eye calls his attention to the part and
leads to its removal. If it were not for
the pain so produced, irremediable mischief
would often be permitted to go on
unchecked, because unnoticed. Not
only does pain so defend the eyes from the
injurious effects of foreign bodies, it
often serves to protect the delicateoriran
from overwork; and where pain is so produced
rest is given to the part, and recovery
is instituted. Especially is this I
seen where the eyes are not an absolute
pair, and long perusal of a page strains
lliem. I'roper spectacles making the
eyes a pair give prompt and permanent
ivlii.f Till? ii-rnve diseases of the eve are
tho>e which are painless, where incipient I
disease is ai^nivated by persistent action, |
all of which would be avoided |
if pain were a consequence of the mat- j
adv.
The Ocarina.
The ocarina, which is usually consid- I
ered as but little more than a toy, is one !
of the most ancient instruments of the j
llute species, but has become obsolete.
The sculptor, <iiuseppe Donato, discovered
several specimens of it in the excavations
of Pompeii and llerculaneum,
and one of his first discoveries was the
fact that it possessed a chromatic scale, j
lie erected a workshop in which he man- j
ufacturcd ocarinas, and put them into
the market. The Dutch ordered thous- |
amis of them for India, and larye qnan- |
tities of them were bought by the Itali- |
tins, the French and the Viennese. A
certain .Mr. Donato, of Vienna, acquired
later the arl of their manufacture, and
imparled the process lo the clever Viennese
sculptor, A. Kreun, who invented i
new machinery for their production, im- j

Bill Arp on Life Partners.
I aat in my piazza ruminating over the
scene and I wondered that there were as
many happy mating# as there seem to be.
Partners for life ought to be congenial
and harmonious in so many things.
When men make a partnership in business
they can't get along well if they are
unlike in disposition or in moral principle
or in business ways or business habits.
They can dissolve and separate at pleasure
and try another man. A man and
his wife ought to be alike in most everything.
It is said that folks like their
opposite, their counterparts, and so they
do in some respects. A man with blue
eyes goes mighty nigh distracted over a
woman with hazel eyes. I did, and I'm
distracted yet whenever 1 look into them.
Hut in mental qualities and emotional
qualities, and tastes and habits and principles
and the like they ought to class
together. Indeed, it is better for them
to have the same politics and the same
religion. And so I have observed that
the happiest unions, as a general thing,
are those where the high contracting parties
have known each other for a long
time, and have assimilated from their
youth in thought and feeling.?Atlanta

A Man In a Hear Pit.
An exciting scene was witnessed re
cently at the Jardin des Planter, Paris.
A limn leaning over the wall of th(
bears' pit suddenly overbalanced himself
and fell into the pit, a distance of
some twelve feet. He was stunned b}
the fall and had his head cut open. One
of the bears, the biggest and fiercest in
the collection, instantly approached,and
after smelling at the man, began licking
the blood from his brow. This caused
him to revive. Starting up, he pushed
the bear backward, wnich, combined
with the scared cries of the bystanders
above, drove the animal into fury. A
terrible struggle ensued, the bear attempting
to get the man's head between
his teeth, and the man holding
the bear by the throat. Ultimately
the officials came up, and by dint of a
rope the poor fellow was extricated in
an exhausted and wounded condition.
While he was being pulled up the bear
was kept off with an iron bar, with,
which heavy blows were dealt at his
head. The man, a respectable workingman,
was taken to the hospital badly
njurcd.
Too Presumptuous.
"Why didn't you return that gentleman's
bow!" asked a wife of her husband.
as a gentleman passed them on the
avenue.
"It never docs to he too familiar with
that fellow or he will presame on it.
Give him an inch and he will take an ell.
If I give him the slightest encouragement
he will dun me for a box of cigars I bet
him on the result of the last presidential
election. Oh, he is a presuming scoundrel."?

and theriuht of a "-yffering public, to make the foi- j

In anyway you think will do the most good. For |
a long time my wife had suffered from a derange- j

Beven or our best physicians without her obtaining j
any good. The late Dr. Allen was the last one that i
made an effort, but like the others, failed. He, I
however, recommended my wife to use OR.
DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE

if KAVOK1TE KEMEDY wou'd not cure her there j
was no use trying anything else?she must die. j
About this time 1 had been told of many wonder- |
ful cures this medicine had made, and especially ;
that of Mr. Peter I.awler, of Dalion. The "Old ;
Berkshire Mllis " (Paper C >.> had certified to the ;
facts that Mr. Lawler had been in their employ !
some seventeen years, tlial he was a llrst-class j
man, knew he had kidner trouble and had been
cured by DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FA- j
VORITE REMEDY. To make a long story
short, I srot a bottle for my wife. Shu used it ac- j
cording to directions and is now a well womanthanks
to you and the medicine that has made me )
happy by restoring my wife to the bloom of health
once more. Believe me I am yours,
