It was an amusing sight, a few weeks 6ince, to sec one of those stiff, upright, imitation Euglish coachmen sitting on his box in front of a grocery store, whip well poised, reins properly grasped in white gloved hands, gaze directed straight forward between the ears of the well groomed horses. Anon out comes a clcrk from the store with a well frilled paper bag, opens the carriage door, places the bag within upon the seat, ana recloees the door with a slam. Scarce had he turned away when the coachman started off his team with a stately trot, nor halted till he arrived at the mansion of a wealthy resident in an aristocratic quarter, before which he halted and solemnly waited. Id a few minutes a maid servant rushed out "Why, what is the matter John? Where are the ladies?" "th? 11 insi<lo, l suppose, urn c you hopen the door.'"' "Open the door! Why, there no one in the carriage. Where did you drive from'" ' Iiless my'art! no one there? Why, I jufct drove from the grocery store and 'eard the coach door shut when they got in." "Got in! Why, they did not get in, and you have given a bag of soda crackers a ride home and left the ladies behind." Such was the case, and the solemn John went back at a brisker pace, resolving to trus>t to eyes rather than ears for the future. ? Boston Bulletin. 1I0W Monewau ,iacH.>uii rtn, After night fell, Stonewall Jackson rode out with his staff to reconnoitre in front of the line he had gained. It was his idea to stretch completely around the rc:ir of Hooker and cut him off from the river. The night was dark and Jackson soon came upon the Union lines. Their infantry drove him back, and as he returned in the darkness his own soldiers began firing at their commander, of course mistaking his party for the enemy. Jackson was shot in the hand and wrist, j and in the upper arm at the same time. His horse turned, an<l the General lost i his hold of the bridle rein; his cap was brushed from his he:id by the branches; he reeled and was caught in the arms ol an officer. After a moment he was assisted to dismount, his wound was examined. and a litter was brought. Just then the Union artillery opened again and a murderous lire c;ime down upon the party through the woods and the darkuess. One of the litter bearers stumbled and fell, and the others were frightened; they laid the litter on the ground, the furious storm of shot and shell sweeping over them like hail, j Jackson attempted to rise, but his, aid-decamp held him down till the tempest of fire was __hij]cd^jTiien the^wwyutefHTeaeTa: TTTs helped ! to rjffi~-afiq\valked a few steps in the forest but he became faint and wits laid a-jain in hi6 litter.

He stopped and said; "I hope you are not seriously hurt/ General. I fear I shall have to retire my troojis they are so much broken." But Jackson looked up at once and exclaimed: "You must hold your ground, General Pender, you must hold your ground, sir!" This was the last order he ever gave. He was borne some distance to the nearest house and examined by the surgeon, and after midnight his left arm was amputated at the shoulder. When Lee was told that his most trusted Lieutenant had been wounded, he was greatly distressed, for the relations between them were almost tender. 'Jackson has lost his left arm," said Lee,"but I have lo t my right arm."?St. Nicholas. Life on the Moon. There is reason for thinking that the moon is not absolutely airless, and, whilf it has no visible bodies of water, its soil may, after all, not be entirely arid and j desiccated. There are observations which hint at visible changes in certain spots that could possibly be caused by vejjeta-' lion, and there are other observations which suggest the display of electric luminosity in a rariHed atmosphere covering the moon. To declare that no possible form of life can exist under the conditions prevailing upon the lunar surface would be saying too much, for human intelligence cannot set bounds to creative power. Yet, within the limits of life, such as we know them, it is probably safe to assert that the moon is a dead and deserted world. In other words, if a race of beings resembling ourselves, or resembling any of our contemporaries in terrestrial life, ever existed upon the moon, thej must lonsr since have perished. That such beings may have existed is possible, par- 1 ticularly if it is true, as generally believed, that the moon once had a comparatively dense atmosphere and watei upon its surface, which have now, in the : process of cooling of the lunar globe,been withdrawn into its interior. It certainly docs not detract from the interest with which we study the rugged and beauti- J fill scenery of the moon to reflect that ii; we could visit tho>e ancient sea-bottoms, ? ?i? i I ] ur U.\J?IUIC muse ^mivuiiQ mvuiuaiuoj we might, pcrchancc, find there some re- 1 m iins or mementoes of a race that flourished, and perhaps was all gathered agaic to it-; fathers, before man appeared upoc the earth.?Popular Science. How Peas Are Canned. The canning of green peas, which is a busy industry in Delaware, is an inter- 1 esting process. The peas are shelled by | hand and then fed into the hopper of a separator, which divides them into thret grades. Then they are put into coppei j Vi.ttlnj wlioro thr>v .-in* stcamorl inst enough to wrinkle the outer skin and , intensify if possible the vivid green of the i pea. They are then filled into cans, I which are placed on an iron tray and ' dipped in a trough or tub of boiling wat-. r, which runs into the cans, filling I them to the brim. This water contains whatever of a preservative nature is put iuto the cans to preserve the vegetable. | The cans arc then wiped, sealed and | packed in iron cages, each cage holding 248 tans. These cages are put into air. I tight steam kettles, where the cans are subjected to hot steam under intense pressure for about fifteen or twenty minutes. The peas arc then ready for market. Remarkable Freak of Fingers. A remarkable instance of heredity is observed in the Young family in Salem, | Ga. AVillium Young, a carpenter by trade, was born with the middle and right finger of his ri^lit hand together. The ioints are nerfwt. Ili-i little, liabv was b >rn with the same two lingers grown together. Mr. Young has nine brothers who have natural liugers. Neither his father nor his father's brothers had any j such mark, yet their only sister has the identical fingers on the same hand grown ' together. I lis grandfather had three lingers on each hand and three toes of each foot grown together, and as far back as he can trace the *ame freak is apparent, but never happening on more than one in each family.

MILK TRAINS. I HOW A PART OF NEW YORK'S MILK SUPPLY IS RECEIVED. 1 Arrival of Trains in the Morning at the Eric Depot ? A Rush When They Come In ? Milk Speculators. j If any evening at 9 o'clock you cross the noble North River from Chambers street to the Erie Depot and walk up the south side of the big building, your atten- . tion will be directed to a long narrow platform with little groups of milk cans huddled clumsily together on it. There i ? ' M. _ / , is neany a quarter 01 a mne 01 piawumi, and it looks for a time so lonesome that you will wonder why so much of it is 1 needed. Au hour and a half later you will discover that the platform is none too large. Wagons loaded down with rattling milk cans appear to have sprung out of the ground, drivers are shouting at their ; horses, and everybody is doing his level best to surpass his neighbor in making noise. At the east end of the long platform is a little coffee and cake restaurant, and some milkmen, who are awaiting the . arrival of the two long milk trains that come in at the platform every night, : are taking luncheon in the little place.

A remarkable fresh-water turtle from Fly River, New Guinea, is one of the most striking discoveries in herpetology of the last twenty years. Its limbs form regular paddles, having claws on the two inner digits only. It forms the type of a new family. A singular rodent from Somali-land is about the size of a mouse, but is said trom its Hairless sKin, small eyes, anu peculiar bead, to look more like a tiny puppy. The ears are simple round holes, without a conch, and the eyeballs are barely half a millimeter in diameter. It burrows in the earth. Specimens of the pearls said to be sometimes formed in the interior of cocoanuts have been obtained in North Celebes by Dr. Sydney J. Hickson. He describes them as being about half an inch in diameter, worn smooth by friction, and consisting of pure carbonate of lime, with no trace of vegetable matter. Artificial clouds were recently made for the protection of vines from frost ai jruuuy,un me r rnutu-vcruiuu m/uuci. Liquid tar was ignited in tin boxes, with pieces of solid tar on the ground near the vines. Large clouds of smoke arose and protected the vineyard for two hours. Although vines in the neighborhood were injured by the frost, all that remained under the clouds were left uninjured, Of course this contrivance can succeed only in calm weather, but it is only in calm weather that white frosts occur. Wood powder has recently been introduced as an explosive in the Belgian army in place of dynamite. The powdei is obtained by treating ordinary sawdust with a mixture of nitric and sulphuri ?n? V?

The instantaneous production of the gases arising*upon the explosion causes the air in contact with the face surface of the cartridge to act tc some extent as a light tamping, and the power of the explosion is directed to the , other face. In comparative experiment' J ffl.'Ule with, wood .powder and dynamite il !Y;is ascertained that, for equal weights, charges of the first substance were at noct no rvntrorfnl ftc nf oof'finrl r?,. ? ? , , md the results were more regular. , At a recent meeting of the English Linnrean Society a paper was read 4"On the sense of smell in dogs," in which some experiments with a setter dog were , detailed, which showed, for one thing, ( that while a very small part of the sur-1 face of a boot is suiicient to make a trail svhich the animal can trare, the scent is aot able to penetrate a single layer oJ, orown paper. It was found, too, thai j the setter was ready at any moment tc [ i)e guided by inference as well as perception. and that the act of inference was instantaneous. The experiments alsc showed that not only the feet but th( whole body of man exhale a peculiar 011 individual odor, which a dog can recog-' lize as that of his master amid a crowd >f people, and that the individual qualitj )f this odor can be recognized at greal listances to windward, or in caltr sveuthcr in any direction. In the animals endowed with the most perfect respiratory organs the bodily heat emains uniform through all change3 of temperature of the surrounding medium. Respiration is more active in birds than in any other class of animals, and theii iemperature is uniformly higher than any Jther, ranging from 106 to 112 degrees RViVirnnVimt Tn mominnlift if fq frnm 1I/5 tr 105 degrees, varying for adult man, in different individals, from 98 to 100 degrees. During fevers it is several degrees higher, caching 100 or 107 degrees in scarlet oi ;yphus fevers, while in other forms of disuse it falls a little below the normal, lescending to GO degrees in a remarkable :ase not long ago reported. In health it s about a degree and a half lower during ileep than when awake, and it is somf lejrrees higher in the very young than iD he very old. In the reptiles, fishes and lo-called cold-blooded animals the tern>erature of the body is very little above hat of the surrounding air or water, risng or falling with the external changes.

Those who are exhausted by the heat n have a cool, moist skin, a rapid, weak u rmlconnrl rnsnirftt.ion movement and the i ? t""" -""I ? pupil is dilated. In fact, the symptoms are those of collapse. These patients will C probably recover promptly, an event = which may be hastened by the use of a | tonic and restorative treatment. 0 Those who suffer from heat apoplexy ^ frequently become unconscious at the on- ?j set. The heart and breathing apparatus r is not markedly disturbed, and the pupil vl may be normal, but the unconsciousness deepens and the cace runs on to a fatal termination. An artery has been broken ir in the brain, and the poured out blood ti pressing on the nerve centres brings about the fatal event.
