They are a small, dielicate people, whlose br'ightly-beaming eyeS conftr'ast strongly with their reserved behavior. The facees of the men as wvell as of the women can~ not be called unhanads;ome.

Kreitller, in Popular' t'eien'fce kissing D~ogs,. We fear the article we published in n regard to girls who kiss dogs has been w~ taken wrong, by some. We have a d-l. icately scented note-not scented like tib dog, however-from a Chicago fgirl, who Ii n is indignant. She says she had rather tiE kls dog any time than a man. That as 18 all --6nt. Itis only a matter of taste, Jf the man abo refers to smells like -)1 dog, and has fleas, and his eyes run, anid aO he licks himself instead of washing, we ge don't blame her. Of course she knows vi more about him than we do. But if a wi niOe, clean man should come her way, a ina man with the modern improvements, d< who oould kiss back which a dou can't, v we will bet she wondid drop her Jo like a hot potato and freeze to the man like th oteok, ad she woudforget te ~ll about her dog.

To.t the father's caress, xe mother's kiss be the last link between ie day's pain or plcasure and the night's leep. Send the children to bed happy. ' there is sorrow, punishment or dis. race, let them meet it in thp daytime - nd have hours of play and thought in rhich to recover happiness, which is hild'iood's right. Let the weary feet, 1-- busy brain, rest in bed happy." That's all right, of course to some xtent. We used to talk that way before to were a parent. We knew a good cal more about children anyhow before te had to grapple with themn than we do ow. We used to be a great stickler for aoral suasion and love and parental gush han we are now. Our theory now in relation to children a changed from what it was formerly. We maintain now, after several years' study of the primary biped, that there s a style of child that canuot go to sleep at night unless spanked. We have in our mind a little child of the meaculine style of architecture, who will lie and sob, und kick tlic clothe3 off, and be mean and restless for two hours if you forget-about iim, but if you go and turn down tho coverlid ( and fani his person with an overshoo lie will quiet down and be asleep in five miin! cs. Ho is not to blame for being the victim to this habit, but lie is that way, and ho can't help it. Io is tied to his spank just as you, gentle reader, are tied to your maturer habits. Strange freaks do often grow into con firmed habits that it is almost imnposisiblo to shako off. Children tire otten the victims of strange and unnatural cus toms like older people. This child, for instanco, did not at first apparently care whether he had his spankig at 8 p. ni. or earlier, but later he was so regular in his dentiand for cor poral punishiment that you could set your watch by him. 110i ws also so attaChed to a certain kind of arct.o overlhoo Mlibt you couldn''t, aicitmplish anythini b.)y paddling hin with anly other style of hiastiseleilt.

This tiny creature is found on the orange skin in evoy stage of transformation, from the egg to tie perfect insect, during the winter months, instead of remaining dormant in the cold weather, as is the case with most of the insect tribe. It would hard ly be possible to find a St. Michael's or T.ang:ierine orange that had not hun dreds of these little creatures in various stag,-(.s of: development on its surface. Lemois, too, are frequently covered. Upon inspection, the skin of an orange will be found to be dotted over with brownish scarlet spots of various sizes.

Ling John Herm, a young Chinaman of Boston, made love neceptably to Kate Engleih ardt, whilo visiting Philadelphia, and they were married. Although she wIas a young and pretty girl of good character, the Mongol failed to appro cinte his prize, and whipped her brutally befor a week haid Olaipsed, besides spite fully cutting up her clothes. They were separated. A thrifty young farmer living near Orittenden, Ky., is now thirty years old, and was first inarried August 28, 1872. Since that tnie lie lis buried two wives and is now living with the third, having been a widower twent, one months. He is n1ow the father of eleven chilren eight boys and three girls. Ho has two pair of twinI boys. The 1marriage of Timothy Hlaley, aged seventy-five, to a girl ofi sevenuteen was not expected by the people of Brook vile, Ky., to prove a huippy one; yet th'y are surprised biy the sepatration that hias taken pilace, nls it was brought about .by the old manlh inistead of the bride. He is convinced, he says, that she married lium solely for his money; and she gives color to his cha~rge by suing him for one third of lis; $10,000. Miss ]lourne eloped with her lover at Witeliadl, N. Y, but on the condition that, immediately after the marriage ceremony, she should he allowed to go hack hiome, and tell her mother. Her idea was that the maternal ob~jectionl to Siho yoiung man could lbe overcamo~ by airgumienit as soon as she was his wife. But the plan miscarried.

A gentleman just up from Stand ing .Rock Agency, in answer to an inuimry as, to how the reds were pro gressing in the peaceful ways of grangermg, smiled and said their man nor was odd. Every year they seemn to know less about howv to farm. This is a ttributed to the fact that they are learn mng the ways of the whites too rapidly. .They b~egim to understand that as soon as they con grow crops their rations will bie cut off', antd hence their growving igno rance of agriculture. If they are given a bushel of beans to plant, they will cat nine-tenths of the amount and plant one tenth, and the one-tenth will be dumped im three or four holes in the ground. Lasit spring they were given five b~ushels of onion seeds. They couldn't eat them, [1nd( coniscquently lanlted the entire five biushiels on a picco of ground fifty by :me hundred feet. They were too lazy to pirepare a larger patch ; besides it would have b~een contrary to their policy A maintaining the ration system.

It has been known for years to the average schoo'boy that the alka'i metals, osium, rubidium, potassium, sodium and lithium, have so powerful an affinity for oxygen that they will decompose water on contact-combining with the oxygen and liberating the hydrogen. In the case of all but the last metal named the reaction is so v'olent that heat enough is evolved to tire the hydro SCA, which burns with a flame colored by volatilized portions of the metal, as follows: Ctesium, sky blue;- rubidium, ruby; potassium, violet; and sodium, yellow. Lithium will inflame only on contact with strong nitric acid, wheil it gives off an intensely whit( light. A Broadway fakir has turned this curious fact to advantage, and hl abandoned the cheap, soft gum-drop, the marvelous tooth-paste, the lightninn strop, and the dozen-for-a-penny tin co' lar-buttons to intreduce small strips 0. sodium to the public under the nanie ol "'Edison's Miraculous Helee'ro-Dyvnamni Pipe and Cigar-Liliter.

An Ohio Nero, The Ohio boy is full of genius. He id been reading that Nero fiddled while omne burned, and his fancy was kindled the mere thought of the sublime ectacle.

One after on this boy set fire to the woodlshed, d, crawling up on adjoining fence, vered( his nmother's hair comb with at of paper, and phia-ie "Wam-Dow meron's Literary Methods. It has been Emerson's habit to spend the forenoon in his study, with constant regularity. He has not waited for moods but caught them as they came, and used their results in each day's work. It has been his wont to jot down his thoughts at all hours and places. The suggestions that result from his readings, conversa tions and meditations are immediately transferred to the note book he always carries with him. In his kalks many a jem of thought is in this way preserved. All the result of his thinking are thus tored up, to be made use of when re yuired. After his note books are filled, is transcribes their contents to a large, Ommonplace book. When a fresh sub bot possesses his mind, he brings to ether the jottings he finds he has written down concerning it, fusing them into a connected whole with the addi tional material suggested at the time. His essays are then very slowly elabor ated, wrought out through days and months, and even years of patient thought. A curious evidence of this method of constructing his essays may be found by the attentive reader in the repetition of the same phrases in differ ent essays, showing that a Japse of mem ory sometimes permits him to draw out the same sentences and ideas more than once. One of the most striking in stances of this may be found in the essays on "Farmiug" and "Perpetual Forces," where the analogies from the conversibility of forces run almost par allel with each other, showing the use of the same materials from his note books in their composition. His essays are all carefully revised, again and again ; cor. rected, wrought over, portions dropped, now matter added, or the paragraphs ar ranged in a new order. He is unsparing in his corrections, striking out sentence after sentence, and paragraphs disappear from time to time. His manuscript is everywhere filled with erasures and emendations; scarcely a page appears that is not covered with these evidences of his diligent revision. Almost everything Emerson has writ ten was prepared for the lecture plat form. * * * He has not been pri marily a book-maker, as Carlyle has been, but an unsettled preacher, or a university lecturer on morals, not occu pying a professor's chair. The books have been an afterthought, printed after the exigencies of the platform demanded now topics. This method of composi tion has led to a wonderful power of condensation, and to a marvellous com pactness of expression. His concentrated sentences are doubtless wrought out, one by one, in his lonely walks or in the quiet of his study, and worked over in his mind until the words perfecly fit the idea expressed. In no other writer are there so many sentences which com plete the subject, and will'stand, uin supported and alone, as vindications oX the author's thought.--Gco. WV.
