Somnambulism is believed to be an
unconscious trance action.

Itisthe feeblest mustache, as well as
the sickhest child, that gets the most
fondling.

People learn wisdom by experience. A
man never wakes up his second baby to
see it laugh.

A Zulu belle is like the proverbial
prophet. She has not much on’er in her
own country.

Inthe social circles of the chicken. yard
the lines are very distinctly drawn. for
each hen has her own set.

Mary Anderson says she is not afraid
of Bismarck" She must, then, feel con-
fident that she doesn’t contain trlchinse’.

The trout seasan is at its zenith, and

you can now catch a five pound trout with

_ a 2012 pound liar almost any day in the

A Baltimore swell went to a fancy dress
ball as a donkey, and his friends say it is
the first time he ever failed to make an
ass of himself.

“ What is wanted in this country, "said
the bride as she examined the wedding
set is pla ". ~

“I dreamed last night that I was mar-
ried. Is that a bad dream I?”Crossfather:
“ The only thing bad about it is that it is
not true.”

Ah, how significant the Kentucky coat-
of—arms—two colonels holding on to each
other for fear of falling and sa lug,
“United, we stand; divided, .wefal l"

presents, ‘fis’silver service reform. That

The reason why Richard III, when"

’ waking from a troubled dream, called for
another horse, was because he disliked
thgdniglltmare which he had so rwently

A muff is defined as “ a. thing which
holds a. girl's hand and don’t squeeze it. "
Correct, and any fellow is “ a mail" who
will hold a girl‘s hand without squeezing

“ I don't see the bell,” said ahalldsome
woman at the front door of a house to an
Irishman shoveling coal. “ Faith, mum,
an' ye wud though av ye were to luck in
the glass. "

“Illasknowed men ter tell a dozen
lies jes’ ter tell one truth,” says Opie
Reade. “ Dis showed dat dawuz mighty
fon’ o’ truth, but dat it wuz a mighty
sca’se artikle wid ’om."

A West End bank in London, with :1

humor that half stones for the tyranny of
the act, has issued an order that “ gentle-
men must. not wearbeards or mustaches
during office hours,"
; “ Advoirdupgis sociables" are the fash-
1011 lb Pottawottomie county," Iowa.
Each young man has his girl weighed,
and pays for her supper at the rate of half
a cent a pound on t 9 figures.

“Do you know," asked a gentleman at
the bird show, “ why robins are more
Intelligent than hens?" “ No,” was the

~ reply. “Because they are better posted
ln the higher branches. ”

A small boy testified in a. justice’s court
that the afi‘l‘ay took place on a Sunday.
“ How do you know it was on a Sunday 2?”
“Because that day I had to go to the
slde door of the saloon to get beer fol
dinner. "

“Why do ladies make such good urch-
ers ?_” said the conundrum lnau, lighting
ll clglu'ctte on, the sole of his shoe.
“Don’t know and don’t want to." said
the editor. ” Why, because of their
cupidity l”

un'ed Jones of Brown. “ ‘Oll. Fair

Brown, “she was Fond Dove it, I pre-

A question for puzzle solvers: “Ill

aromld the lady, or does the young lady
go around the young man ?”

Thackeray wrote his books ‘3” ‘ ‘ N o, lady, ”
replied the gentlemanly sales gentleman,
“but, don’t yer know, I guess it was in

“Ya’as,” continued young Smythc, “I
suppose eve1 thing created has some use,

A friend of a merchant, whose son has
recently returned from his studies at a.
New York business college, was asking
the old man if the boy .had improved his

_ “ I have a fearful sore throat this even-

than would load an express, wagon.

With what I have been to ' you.”
“Yes, Adolphus, it has." “ what

Rev. Dr. Newman had just concluded
a long‘ discourse, the benediction had
been pronounced and the congr ation
were dlsperslng. Said a great ' er
of the.preacher: “A fine semen, and
well tuned, too." “Yes,” replied the
clergyman ; “ it was certainly well timed.
About half the congregation had their
watches out most of the time I was talk-

Whatever distinction comes from a
title the American of to-day eagerly
craves. Rich American girls are laughed
at for going to Europe and giving up
home, , old associations, their freedom,
their fortunes and themselves for the sake
of marrying a title borne by some man
who has absolutely nothing else to dis-
tinguish him from other uninteresting-
beings; but only a minority of our title;
hunters are of the gentler sex. Our men,
even those of them‘ when reputation for
common sense is enviable, seem willing
to lose time, money and peace of mind to
any extent, if, by so doing they can be
called by any civil'or military title. Law-
yers whose practice is very remunerative,
frequently become judges, at low salaries,
so as to be occasionally addressed as
“ Your Honor. " Clubs are organized, ap—
parently that some particular man may
have his name appear in print as presi-
dent; aud as for sOcieties, “councils”
and “ lodges,” their names and the titles
of their officers are innumerable; even
the very secret and exclusive order of
Free Masons number more members in
the United States than in any other coun-
try, and it is impossible not to believe
that many men are attached to it by the
possibility of attaining official position,
or, at least, of wearing the signs of their
order.

REPUBLIC 0" ANDORRA.

The French and Spanish Governments

‘ have been engaged for some time past in

a rather acrimonious dispute about the

Republic of Andorra. This diminutive
State, so little known to travelers, and
yet so interesting from its great age as an
independent Commonwadth, is situated
on'the southern declivity of the Pyrenees.

- between the Department of the Ariege in

France and the District of Urgel in Cat-

alonia. Stretching from north to south

about thirty-six miles. and from ertst to

west thirty miles, it comprises three

mduntain valleys and the basin formed

bv these valleys, which are among the
wildest and most picturesque in the l’yr-
611003. Th6 population of Andorra ha:
ney‘er been rbokoncd by an official cemus,

but it, was computed at 6,000 souls durl ll~l_

A Business CITY.

The most restless of towns in the en-
chanting land'have their hours of stillness
and repose. 'The “ Movimento ” of Naples
never ceases. The city seems not to rest
either by day or by night. You are in
your room, reading, very late. Your
watch warns you that it is time to throw
the last cigar-end behind the last flicker-
ing of flame from the crimson embers on
the hearth—to close the book, turn of!
the lamp and go to bed. Confound it!
Just beneath your window somebody is
twanging a guitar and bowling acanzon-
ctta with the usual rhyming of “cuore”
and “amore,” “forte" ‘and "morte,"
the usual exordium about ‘ ‘Bella Napoli.."
and the usual peroration about “Santa
Lucia.” Does the minstrel outside think
that you will open the window and fling
him soldi at twa in the morning? But
you retire to your couch and are up again.
say at seven——it is mid-winter—to see the
sunrise. What is that shrill ululation
floating over the Bay of Naples—a sound
more discordant than melodious, but yet
not altogether unpleasing ? Is it the cry
of 0. peacock? But peacocks don’t fly
about the Mediterranean Sea at seven
A. M. ’ It would be safer to surmise that
the shrill note may be that of 'the fabled
halcyon. However,. you lend your our
more attentively to the note. Upon my
word it is the squeak of Punch I Two tat-
tered losels in red nightcaps and the
usual imperfect pantaloons. have rigged
up innboat Punch’s show of the most
primitive kind—a bit of ragged blanket-
ing, astick or two and a couple of red
ochre-smeared puppets—and they are
rowing about the bays performing.
Maybe some liberal Jack Tar from a for-
eign merchantman in the port will fling

the floating Pulcincllo a copper or two.
The entertainment given by these abnor-
mally matutinal hist'rionics is, I appre-
hend, intimately associated with the all-
absorbing question of quattriui. Behind
“Il Movimento ” is “La Misera.” Both
are equally dependent and consequent
on the other. Idleness, profligacy, thrift-
lessness and crime bring aboutthelmove-
ment, and the end of the movement is
misery.

 

ILLEGHILE PRESCRIPTIONS.

According to a Philadelphia paper, a
well-known pharmacist of that city, re-
cently studied for a week a prescription

. that had been handed to him, "and flu-

ally had to “give it up.” The same paper
says there are several well-known physi-
cians in that city whose handwriting is so
miserably bad tht druggists hate to have
their prescriptions handed over the
counter, and only from experience and
by careful study are the formulas of
many others deciphered. So important
is this matter of handwriting in prescrip-
tions, and so numerous were the sins of
this kind, that the County Medical So-
ciety was obliged to publish the follow-
ing hint for the purpose of preventing
the occurence of mistakes: “Physicians
should write their prescriptions carefully
and legibly, making use of good paper,
and, whenever possible, of pen and ink.
When obliged to write with a pencil, they
should take the precaution to fold the
prescription twice, so as to prevent its

An establishment in Bavaria for the
manufacture and preserving of railroad
sleepers is able to turn out 500,000 sleepers
a year, which is about one-tenth of the
nulnber required annually for the main-
tenance of the German railroads.

It has been officially ascertained by the
French Government that every sugges-
tion proposed for the cure of the vines
infested by phyiloxera has proved to be
abortive. A special commission to inves-
tigate the several processeshas lately been
established.

 

 

 

When the lantern of the Peterborough
Cathedral, Northampton, England, was
finished dangerOus defect- made their ap-
pearance in both transepts. These have
since grown worse, and the touring away
of the transepts from the nave are clearly
visible from the triforium'to the base.

What effect intense cold might have
upon microbes has been tried by M. M.
B. Pictet and E. Yang. Many of the

 

_ lower varieties of organisms withstood

temperatures as low as 70° to 130° C. for
several hours, while other organisms were
either killed or lost their germinating
functions. .

 

There has lately been constructed by
MM. Challiot and Gratiot, of Paris, anew
teal to which they have given the name
of the bi-radial drilling machine. The

. arm is jointed or hinged in the‘middle so

that the drill can be brought to any point
on’ the table without shifting the latter.
Bevel gear transmits the power.

 

Cast-iron may be so hardened as to m-
sist cutting by an ordinary file by the fol-
lowing method : When the iron is brought
to a cherry-red heat, sprinkle some cyan-
ide of potassium upon it: raise the temper-
ature then little abOVe read heat, and,
lastly, dip’in the tempering tank. Cyan-
ide of potassium may be used for case-
hardeniug iron also with decided efi‘ect.

 

With an old frictional electrical ma-
chine, which was 'no longer able to be
charged in the usual way, Dr. Azam has
performed all interesting practicalexperi-
ment. He applied cacao butter as grease
for the amalgam, and elicited sparks from
the machine which were fully four inches
in length. He recommends this fat for
trial, particularly when old frictional ma-
chines are to be used.

 

For the first time in the history of the
Academy of Sciences, Paris, places have
been offered by the Governmeutto select-
ed members to take part on a diplomatic
commission. That learned body hasre-
oeutly received a requisition from M.
Ferry to appoint three delegates to the
international commission which istomeet
in Washington on the first of October
next to determine the choice of a first
meridian.

 

When transplanting the strawberry, an
expert forbids the removal oftherunners,
and recommends leaving six inches of them
, attached to each side of the plant. The
ends of these runners are then to be bent
down and buried with the roots. Plants
thus treated are provided with means for
drawing nourishment at once, and will
thrive in adverse conditions which prove
fatal to plants stripped of their runners.

 

In making the fluid extract and tinct-
ures of cinchona, arnica flowers, etc., Mr.
Alfred B. Taylor has found it e Lcially
serviceable to‘use a portion of the ' hed
preparation from a previous operation to
I macerate and partially exhaust the drug

before applying the new portion of the
menstrum ; arid as there is no limit to
the quantity of finished preparation that
can be used when‘necessary, itispossible
to exhaust completely the drug operated
upon. .‘

 

Prof. Thomson, in a recent lecture, in-
formedhis audience that the magnetic
pole is now near Boothia Felix, or more
than 1,000 miles west of the geographical
pole. In 1657 the magnetic pole was due
nbrth, it having been eastwardbefore
that year. Then it began to move west-
ward until 1816, when the maximum was
reached. This is now being steadily
diminished, and in 1976itwillagain point
due north. Prof. Thomson, say that the
changes whichwill have been observed
not only in the. direction, but in the
strength of the earth's magnetism, will
show that the same causes which origi-

work.

 

A writer in the Complus Rendus gives
the following means of separating the
solar heat rays from the light and chemi-
cal rays : Fuse a drop of distilled selen-
ium, place it upon a plate of glass, and
cover it immediately with another thin
plate of glass. Compress the drop by
meansqfa small rodeo that it spreads
eyenly into a very thin film between the
. M'plates. This operation is performed
upon a metal plate kept at a temperature
0%? 10., and when it is finished the
8 p10“ are allowed to cool slowly
under pie'i‘aure. If the operation is suc-
comful e chemical rays willlie reflected
while vhible'rays will be absorbed
“590W _'into electrical energy, the
hilt rays only passln' 3 through the glasses
inclem' 'the selenium film, and under-
going thereby a peculiar refraction of
which the exact mum‘s is not yet known.

CONSIDERED as com-remap.
A petition of the women of Siam has
been laid at the feet of the king praying
his royal serenity that he take from their
husbands the right to pledge them in
the payment of gambling debts. It is
said that the king finds many difliculties
in the way of granting this presumptuous
prayer. In a country where husbands
have enjoyed the privilege, of utilizing
their wives as collateral in financing
troublesome liquidatious, it is said that
they are strongly prepossessed in favor
of its continuance. Sometimes an embar-
rassed husband may place a wife in es-
crow, and escape incarceration. Then,
again, he might deposit her as a margin
on a deal in pork or wheat, thus retain-
ing a chance in the lottery of speculation.
though not possessed of a shilling in
other classes of property. It is insinu-
Ilfbd that most husbands sustain the for-
feiture of their uxorial pledges or mar-

_other property so employed, but by many
this is denounced as a slander. On the
contrary, it is reported that, through the
opportunity to increase their credit and
commercial‘ resources ofi‘ered by marriage,
the youth of Siam usually rush into wed-
lock with a recklessness not known in
other nations, where this custom has not _
yet obtained a footing. The hesitancy of
the king in acting upon the prayer of his
fair petitioners doubtless proves that the
opposition of his male subjects is general
