140 V* say many quaint Sti6144 too, there is a sort eo $eroing direotness with whi Paul, in a collection which he Just blished of "Clever Things r id b ,hildren," makes them too r lever b half. The afory of the board school stu dent who could not be made to under. staid the nature of a miracle, and who, instead of giving the answer expected from him, deolared that if he saw the moon shining in the daytime he should say it was the sun, and that if his master assured him it was not the sun he should say his master was drunk, appeared originally In an official report. The mingled dullness and ingenuity with whih children will sometimes throw new light on a question by their mode o answering it, is often very amusing. In order to explain in a strikingly intel ligible manner the necessity 'of regula. ting one's conduct, a school-master asks a boy what, when a watch sometimes goes too fast, sometimes too slow, the owner ought to do with it. "Sell it," replies the boy. The reputation for veracity enjoyed by George%Washington in America has been made by his ad m'ring fellow-countrymen the subject of innumerable jests; and it appears' that some lecturer on moral philosophy, having questioned a pupil as to why Washington's birthday was celebrated more than the lecturer s own birthday, received the prompt answer: " Because he never told a lie." There can be no doubt as -to the sharpness (or as to the insolence) of the boy who, as he was removing the outer part of a picoe of cheese, and was told by his father in a tone of remon strance that he ate the rind, answered: "I am cutting this off for you." Many of the sayings ascribed to innocent lit tle children are at least as rude as they are witty. What else can be said of the daring repartee uttered by the boy who wished first to know whether his grandpapa had been with Noah in the ark, and, being an wored curtly in the negative, inquired of the old man how It was that he escaped drowning? There is deep pathos, on the other hand, in the tale of a child who, hav ing been presented with a half-crown. and assured moreover that it was a one, expressed his regret, saying at if it had boon bad he might have opt it, but that as it was good his pa rents would take it from him. Thoro is drollery sometimes in the naveto with Which a child will state the char acter of an action. A young man, for instance, coming homo from a party so late that he thought it desirablo to take off his boots before walking up-stairs, was told by his infant brother in a com manding position on the stair-case that he need not be afraid of waking the family, since they were " all up." To stories of the "enfant terrible" L:ind there is really no end; for the terri ble child is always among us, and never ceases saying the wrong thing at the wrong moment. It was one of Gavarni's own "enfants terribles" who, when a visitor showed the child a packet of bon-bons and said he should give them to him upon going away, called upon the gentleman to depart at once. Some of Gavarni's "enfants terrible" were almost too terrible to be funny. They let out the most compromising things about their parents. In English stories of the same type, the " enfant terrible" confines himself to identifying a casual acquaintance as the man who kissed his sister on the night of the party. There was not much in the indliscretionl com mitted by a child who hadi been wvar-nod not to make any p)ersonal remarks to a gentleman who had recently lost his arm In a batt.le. "Sihe obeyed orders implicitly until she wvent to kiss himn--Good-night, she exclaimed: adding. .3 haven't said anything about your poor arm have I?" Heroes (do not as a rule resent allusions to wounidsi honorably gained. ThIe case may hero be mentioned of a boy who in a large assembly caused a general fcoling~ of consternat ion by claiming a pecumiary r.eward for exceptional merit just di+. play ed. He had been cautioned not to l aught during the singing of a lady who could not sing without making grimaces, and ho was promisedl six pence if lhe succeeded in complying with the injunction given to him. "I want my sixp)ence, ma." he cried out at the end of a more tihan usually showvy eavslina; "I didn't laugh once." Some of Mr. llowyard Paul's best stories of clever sayings by children present, as before observed, the effect of endowing the little ontes with a wit beyond their years. The explanation, however, is good, whether "a little girl" gave It or not, of "bearing false witassa against yeur neighbor,' to the affect that "it was when nobody did nohn and some body went and told of it, ~ Sex of Eggs. A eorrapndent of the London tT<mr nal ef Bler 'ticure says in reference to this question :-" Last winter an old poultry keeper told me he could distin guish the sex In eggs. I lauighed at hi,and was none the less skeptical when he tol me the following secret:. Eggs with the air bladder on the center of the crown of the eg will rduc - cookerels; those wvith the blader on one' side will produce pullet.. The old * man was so certain of the truth of this dogma, and his poultry yard so far con firmed it, that I determined to make eixperiments upon it this year. I have done so, carefully registering the air bladder vertieal or bladder on one side, rejecting every one In which It was not decidedly one or the ether, as in some it was only very slightly out of the center The following Is the result :--Fifty-eight ohiekens were hatched, three are <dead, .een are yet too young to decide upon their sex. Of the remaining forty-four every one has turned out true to the old man's theory. This, of course, ma been accidentacoincidence, but Ih sal ettainly try the experiment again." Sleep... "Blessings," exclaimed Sancho, "on hi that first invented sleep. It wraps a an all round lke a cloak."

The customary celebrating with re oioing the opening of the now and un mown year seems common to many gee and nations, so natural is it to hope hat what is new may be good, and to rust that however rough our paths may lave been, in the coming time we may and the "green pastures" and "the wa ers of comfort. ' In the words of the gentle Ella: "The birth of a new year is of an interest too wide to be pretermittod by king or aobbler." No one over regarded the First of January with indifterence." It is an old custom to keep the day as % holiday, though it has been the practice of superstitious persons to work little in the morning with the idea hat this course would insure them pros perity and plenty of profitable employ nont through the year. In England the celebration com nenced on New Year's Eve, when the "Wassail-cup" was carried from house to house by a group of youths and maidens. A prettier custom, orig inally Scottish, was for the whole fam ily to go in procession to the outer door, and opening it as the last stroke of midnight sounded, welcome in the New Year with words of greeting. The presentation of New Year's gifts was fashionable as far back as the early days of Rome, and was a custom also of the early Britons. In that day the Druids presented to the people the sa cred mistletoe previously cut with re ligious ceremonies, and friends ex changed presents. Of this custom an old writer says: "As presages are drawn from the first things which are met on the beginning of a day, a week, a year, none can be more pleaslna thant of those things that are given us.R As far back as the reign of Henry the Third it was customary to present New Year's gifts to the reigning monarch, and some sovereigns did not hesitate to extort gifts when they were not freely offered. It was by the holp of those annual contributions that Queen Elizabeth kept her magnificent ward robe well replenished. Gloves, in for mier times very costly, were frequently offered to sovereigns and high dignita ries. Pins, once a great luxury, were acceptable gifts to ladies. Instead of these presonts, their value in money was sometimes given-hence the terms ''glove-money," and ''pin-mon ey." The more rigid Puritans objected strongly to New Year's presents, as b) ing "a moere rolque of paganisme and idolatry." The First of January, being a week after Christmas, is eclebrated by the Churches of England and Rome as the Festival of the Circumncision. The Christmas and New Year holi days close on the Feast of the Epipha ny, January sixth,-Twelfth l)ay as it Is called. boing the twelfth from Christ mas. Many old superstitious customs are associated with it. The following Monday, when the people returned to the sober r.alities of working-days, was called in the rural districts lorgh, Monday. Among the events of historie interest connected with New Year's D)ay may 1be mentioned the league of William Tell and his brave complatriots, (1:108) the commen:cement of three centuries' resistance of foreign oppression-the coronation of Chariles the Second as King of Scotland (16.51) when the Scots endeavored to atone by loyalty to the son for their treachery to the father, and thus prepared the way for- the rcs toration of the Stuarts to the throne they were so soon to forfeit-aml( in L803, the abolition of slavecry in these United States of America; the secondl >f these events an era in English his ;ory, the first and the last eras in the mnnals of the human racd.--Goldens A Shark Caught by a Clam, Among the diseoveries recently made n the great Dead Sea of the West, ac :ordmig to an exchange, were some gi Cantic oyster shells more than six feet ong, each p air of which once contained an animal that the average boy could not lift. To-da the only leally. large shell-fish is of t$e clam family. I tJis named 7'riacnu gigas, a contemporary tells us, and is found in h aii Ocean, the length of its life being sixty or seventy years. It grows imbedded in the coral and is fastoned to the reeks by a cord called the byssus, which is so tough that it can be cut only widh an ax. The shells themselves are six feet long, each valve weighing more than 25~0 pounds, while the animal part often weighs thirty or forty pounds.

As the tide went down the shark's head appeared above water, dashing about and churning up the sea.

The tar is first heated in a large iron pot to boiling, or nearly so, and the heat is continued for about four hours. The pot Is then removed from the fire out of doors, and while still warm (not hot) the turpentine, mixed with the black, is stirred in. If the var nish is too thick to dry quickly, add more turpentine. Benzino can be used instead of turpentine, but the results are not as good. Asphaltum Is preferable to cheap tar.-Chicago Times. -At the Munich Electrical Exhibition one of the curiosities was a telephone transmitting music performed at Ober Ammergau, over a distance of sixty three mles. At the palace a huge tole phonic arrangement brought over music from the English Cafe, so that the whole immense audience could hear the pieces quite distinctly. But perhaps the most simnificant exhibit was a single wire which conveyed electrical energy a distance of thirty-seven miles from the coal mines of Miesbach, where it was generated. This augurs a future for the economical use of labor which may have far-reaching results. Digging the Panama Canal. The largest dredging machine ever constructed will he launched in this city within a few weeks. This immense mud digger is one of the three being constructed by Slaven Bros., of Califor nia, at Petty's Island, for the Panama Canal Company, the aggregate cost of which will be over $800,000. 'Tho one now so near completion is 100 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 12 feet deep. Whern all the machinery is in place it will con tain 3,50 tons of iron. On each of the three monster diedges there wvill be eight separate engines, the pair of high pressure engines which run the dred'ge being of 250-horse power each. The dredges are of a new patent and wor-k with a series of buckets oni an endless chain. There are eighteen of the buck ets to each machine which can dig and dispose of 1,620 cubic yards of dirt inan hour, or a combined capacity per- hour for the three dredges of 4,860 cubic yards. Thus in four months, w >rxing twelve hours a day, they would cij~ out 9,290,000 cubic feet, or a canal oighty feet wide, twelve feet deep, and nearly fifty miles long. After the dirt is scooped up in the buckets it is run up the long arm of the dredger fifteen or twenty feet below. The hopper is madle of iron, and weighs five and a half tons. From the hopper the dirt is forced by machinery into and through a Jiugo pipe, three feet in diameter anil 150 long to its place of deposit. The pipe has a fall of eighteen feet, and to Insure the easy passage of the dirt through it, a heavy stream of water is constantly forced through. The stoppage in the work of digging is never very long. The dredger -rests upon a "spud" or p In, upon which it can be re volved without stopping the dredging buckets, thus enablhng the operator-s to dig fromi side to side at will. Tlhe ma chinery for the first dredger, which was manufactured in California, is now here, and as soon as the hull is launched will be placed on board. Before taking the big digger to Aspinwall a number of preliminary tests will be made with it in the Delaware River. The second dredger will be commenced as soon as the first is launched, and work on the third will be0 started as soon as the sec ond is finished. The Canal Construction and Banking Company, of which the M~essrs. Shaven are agents, In add(ition to the building of the dredgers, have a contract with the Panama Canal Company to dig out ten miles of the canal, for wh ich they are to be p aid $2.000,000. Mr. L,. Wa.rd, who is the Superintendent of Construction in connection with the building of the dredgers in this city, has just arrived here from the Isthmus of Panama,where ho has put up sixty-eight buildings alonew the route of th'e proposed canal in con"~ neetion with this $2,000,000 contract. He says the work preparatory to the commencement of di gig out t,he great canal is about finished. T1he canal com pany has so far spept about $20,000,000, and he has no doubt that the canal wvill be completed within the ton years speci fied by the engineers.

As if the actual suffering of mankind from the various diseases common to the lot of all, was not sufficient, the flahnemannian Monthlii, of Philadel phia, enumerates the following possible cause for many mysterious complaints which baffle the skill of the most ex perienced physicians to cure, and enough in number to frighten a well person into a nervous fever: Commenc ing at the mouth, the virulence of hu mai saliva seems to have been proved. It is supposed to be due to micrococci. The human mouth is a culture chamber, which is maintained at a constant tem perature, and is furnished with a con stant sulpply of pabuitlumi, namely, saliva. These circumstances arc highly favora ble to the sustenance anud multiplicat ion of the micrococcus. If, now, it is asked why every man (lees iiot suffer from aut-o-inoculation, it may be answered that micrococoi may kill an herbivorous animal, a rabbit, for instance; but, can not destroy a carnivorous or omnivorous animal, as man.

Who has not met with men who could not afford well bred stockP And what prac tical breeder who has adopted the most approved methods of breeding and feed ing, considers that he can again afford to take up the out-of-date ways and moans of mutton and wool growing. The man who feels himself too poor to afford highly bred stock, may some day, when he has bought wisdom by hard experience, come to the conclusion that he never had been able to afford any other kind. The old popular notion tpat only ri men are able to support well-bred stock is being rapidly ex ploded, however, as sensible people are coming to the conclu ion that poor men are not able to stand the iuestionable luxury of low grade stock. A very common idea is that the example of highly prosperous men is too extrava gaut for those of less means to imitate, but it is nevertheless true that such a doctrine is false, because Men never reach the highest success purely upon their own merits and by their own man agement without exercising the very best. judgment and employing the very means which many who are unsuccess ful consider "too high toned," or ex travagant.-Drover's Journal. Economy on the Farm. On the farm, and in all the various details of rural and domestic life, pru deuce and a just economy of time and mueans are Incumbent in an eminent de gree. The earth itself is composed of atoms, and the most gigantic fortunes consist of aggregated items, insignia cant in themselves, individually consid ered, but majestic when contemplated in unity and as a whole. In the man agement of a farm, all needless expend iture should be systematically avoided, and the income made to exceed the out lay as far as possible. Pecuniary em barrassment should always be regarded as a contigoncy of evil boding, and if contended'against with energy and per severing fortitude, it must soon be over come. I)ebt, with but little hope of its removal, is a millstone dragging us down and crushing the life-blood out 'of us. Be ceorful, therefore, in incurring any pecuniary responsibility which does not present a clear deliverance with the advantages which a wise use of it ought always to insure. A farmer who purchases a good farm and can pay down one third of the priie. give a mortgage for the ether two thirds, and possesses the heart and res olution to work it faithfully and well, enters upon the true path to success. lie will labor with the encouraging knowvledge that each day's exertions will lessen his .indebtedness and bring him nearer to the goal when he shall be disenthralled and becomes a freeholder in its most cheering sense. But without (due economy in every department, in the dwelling as well as in the barns and in the fields, this gratifying achievement. may not be reached until late In life, or may be Indefinitely postponedl. A pru (dent oversight, therefore, over all the operations of a farm,in order that every thing may be done that ought to be done andl nothing be wasted, will exer-t a pow erful influence in placing a family on the high road to an early independence. - Germantoum Telegraph.
