COURAGEOUS, PECOARIES.

Frank Reid was formerly an engineer
on the Southern Pacific, and used to
run a western-bound train through 001-
orado one day and return the next. He
said: "You may have heard of the
peccan'es, which are a wild species of
hog and abound in the' South The
little brntcs are noted for their pluck.
and, if once attacked, willfight on and
on, [until all are exterminated. One
day, while seated in the cab. with my
hand on the lever and keeping a good

, lookout ahead, I saw a herd of some
kind on the track. I did not take
much notice of them, thinking that
when we got nearer they would hear or
see us coming and clear out of the way.
In this, however, I was very much mis-
taken, for when they saw 118. instead of
running away, they formed two or three
lines, standing close together right
across the tracks. I gave a'whistle,
thinking to scare them away; but no,
there they stood like a little army, de-
termined to fight. There was nothing
to do buiirun through them, so I just
put on a little more steam, and we
charged down on the battalion of pec-
caries. They never budged aninch and
the train cut right through them, killing
a large number of them. Those that
were nnhurt rushed madly at the car-
riages as they flew past, and many more
were cut up under the wheels. Idid
not think much of them after we had
passed, and merely gave a glance at the
dead porkers scattered over the track.
Coming back on the return train next
day, I was very much astonished to see
those that were left of the herd nnhurt
by the previous day‘s fight standing in
the same place. As soon as they heard
uscoming they ranged themselves in
battle array and we had to out through
them again, killing a large number. As
we came up they became frantic; they
rushed at the cowcatcher and wheels,
only to be killed. The exploit rather
interested me, and the next day, sure
enough, there they were again, and the
same tactics were gone through. This
went on day after day, until only three
were left. These three ranged them-
selves as the others had done, and we
bore down on them. I hated to kill
these plucky little fellows, but I could
not help it. Two were carried away on
the cowcatcher, and the other made a
rush at the carriages, andthe last of the
tribe was killed."

A FORMAL CALL IN PERSIA.

 

The manners of the courtly occupants
of this Toheran mansion are guided by
an etiquette that is indeed a "law of
the Modes and Persians, which changeth
not." The visitor sends notice an hour
or two previous to calling. If the visit
is one of importance, notice is sent the
previous day. You will go in a fashion
suited to your social position and the
rank of the host. Whether on horse-
back or in a carriage, you will be accom-
panied by a number of mounted attend-
ants. As you approach the house
servants mounted or on foot come forth
to meet you, and one returns with speed
to announce your coming. A dozen
attendants escort you to the reception-
room. According to your rank the host
meets you at the foot of the staircase, at
the door, or at the upper part of the
room. The question of seats is also one
requiring the utmost circumspection in
observing the various shades of rank. If
your rank is superior to that of the host,
you are invited to occupy a sofa alone
at the upper corner, while the host sits
, on a chair or on the floor at your right.
The left is more honorable than the
right in Persia. If of equal rank, he
occupies the sofa with you; but if you
are inferior, then the positions are re-
versed. The upper corner of the room
is in any case the most honorable posi-
tion. If a number are present of various
ranks each one knows his place at a
glance. The passing of refreshments is
also a matter of undcviating strictncss,
the number and quality depending upon
the time of day and character of the
guest. The kalian, or water pipe, offers
a fine opportunity for a display of Per-
sian manners. According to precept
and custom a Mohammedan cannot
smoke the same pipe with a Christian,
and, except on rare occasions when the
host is a man of progressive views, a
separate pipe is furnished for a Euro-
pean visitor. But among Persians it is
the custom for the highest in rank to
receive the pipe first, ofi‘cring it to each
in turn before smoking it himself. For
an inferior to accept the offer is an in-
credible ofi'ence against good manners.

 

ABE TWICE T‘WO FOUR?

Mr. Frank Galtpn somewhere tells an
arousing story, since profusely copied
by all the anthropologists, of how,
during his South African wanderings,
he once wanted to buy a couple of sheep
from an unsophisticated heathen
Damara. Current coin in that part of
the world is usually represented, it
seems, by cakes of tobacco, and two
cakes were the recognized market prices
of a sheep in Damara land at the time
of Mr. Galton’s memorable visit. So
the unsuspecting purchaser chose a
couple of wcthers from the flock, and
naturally enough laid down four pieces
of tobacco to pay for them before the
observant face of the astonished vendor.
The Durham eyed the proffered price
with suspicious curiosity. What could
be the meaning of this singular pre-
cipitancy? He carefully took up two
pieces, and planted them in front of one
of the sheep; then he took up the other}
two pieces, with much wonder, and
placed them in front of the other. Good-
ness gracious, there must be magic in
it! The sum actually came out even.
The Durham, for his part, didn't like
the look of it. This thing was evident.
ly uncanny. How could the super—
naturally clever white man tell before-
hand that two and two made four ?' He
felt about it, no doubt, as we ourselves
should feel if a great mathematician-
were suddenly to calculate out for us
a pram“ what we were going to have
to-day for dinner, and how much exact-
.Iy we owed the butcher. After gazing
at the pat and delusive symmetry of the
two sheep and the four cakes of tobacco
for a brief breathing space, the puzzled'
savage, overpowered but not convinced,
pushed away the cakes with a gesture
of alarm, took back his sheep to the
bosom of his flock, and began the whole
transaction over again do capo. He
wasn't going to be cheated out of his
two sound wethers by a theoretical
white man who managed bargains for
live sheep on such strictly abstract
mathematical principles.

In fairy stories the frogis perpetually
recurring. Its shape is popularly held
in aversion, so nothing could be more
suitable for the utmost degradation of
enchanted Princesses and Princes.
Ivan the Tsar’s son has to marry a frog
who eventuates blissfully in a very
Helen of personal charms. In Grimm,
the exquisite Princess had to wed a frog
which turns into an adorable Prince.
When the lovely maiden is to be trans-
‘formcd into an odious object, toads fall
from her mbuth when she speaks. Yet
in folklore, frogs are uniformly benefici-.
out. One brings the Queen her Rose-
briar daughter, another, a fat old frog,

NOT so VERY 01.1).

The Prussian chief Forester, Goricke,
declares it to be a fable that there are trees
in the German forests which have lived
for a thousand years. Even the so-
called “historical trees,” he says, to
which an age of seven hundred to eight
hundred years is imputed, are nothing
but, "hollows surrounded with bark,
vogcgating only as ruins. " No tree can
reach so great an age in Central Europe
and remain healthy. He has'been at
the pains to make inquiries at all the
German, Austrain and Russian forest,
academies; and comparing their reports
with his own long researches, he has
compiled a table to the comparative
ages of different sorts of trees in Cen-
tral Europe. The highest age is at-
tained by the pine; but after it has
reached the limit of sound life it do-
clines more rapidly than any of the leaf
trees, which continue vegetating long
after they have begun to decay. The
oldest pine tree, judging by its annual
rings, reaches an age of 570 years. The
next in age, the white fir of the Bob-
mcrwald, is 429 years old. The larch,
in Bavaria, was at its oldest in 274 years.
The oldest sound oak, which is at As-
chafi‘enburg. is 410 years of age. The
oldest'ed beech, also at Aschafi‘enburg,
is245. The highest point of healthy
age with other leaf trees is as follows:
The mountain maple, in Bavaria, 224
years; the birch, 160 to 200 years, in
Finland; the ash 170 years, in Silesia;
the elm, 130 years, in Selesia; the aspen
tree 219 years. The most frequent
among the “so-called historical trees "
in Germany are lime trees (linden)
The renowned “Linden " of Neustadt,
on the Kocker. in Wurtembcrg, is
known by the local chronicle to have
had its branches supported by 67 strong
stavesin the year 1448, sow that it must

CEYLON’S SACRED TREASURES.

At the side of the lakcbtands the famous
temple containing the sc-oalled “tooth
of Buddha." It is a curious building,
with a circular-raised library attached,
from the columncd gallery of which the
kings of Randy were wont to exhibit
themselvcsto the people. We attended
an evening service in this edifice, and
were conducted by the priest through
some little frescoed halls toamassivs
silver door. Flower callers were ofi'er-
ing for sale to the votarieS. male and
female, as they entered, blossoms of the
ohampak, the frangipanni, and the iron-
wood tree, which was laid upon a silver
table before the great shrine—the only
ofi‘erings made. Every morning the
priests clear away piles of these simple
sacrificeslwhich are constantly renewed.
so that a faint perpetual perfume of
delicious fragrance forever fills the dark
chambers. When the silver door was
opened there was disclosed another sil-
ver table, and behind it a barrel recep-
tacle containing the sacred relic, hidden
under seven successive daghobaa of pm
cions metal, adorned with the most
costly jewels. The total value of these
coverings must be something very great,
fofi‘li’dwhere can you see finer sapphires,
rubies, and specimens of the true orieng
tal cat's-eye than are encrusted into the
gold and silver. In the outer chamber
are two raised seats, where the chief
priests squat to preach Bane, or doc-
trine, and a band of native musicians
on each occasion lead ofi‘ the service
with tom-tom, pipe, and cymbals. The
temple is ornamented with curious fres-
coes, ancient and modern, grotesquely
representing the previous lives of
Buddha and the sufferings of those
who have been bad Buddhists. andin
glass cases may be seen many seated
figures of Buddha in marble, jasper, ,
gold, and jade, and one, which is espe-
cially notable, carved'from a block of
rock crystal.

 

EARLY GERMAN POETRY.

The old Aryas has medicinal charms
for ruling the power of nature, love
songs, songs celebrating heroes, choral
hymns and ceremonial musiciand danc-
ing. The oldest German lines are alli-
terative. All solemn legal proceedings
were accompanied by poetry. Oaths
were sworn and sentence of banishment
pronounced in alliterative verse. The-
early alliteration remains to this day in
such expressions as house and home,
spick and span, weal and woe, stock and
stone, kith and kin, bed and board,
wind and weather.

Heroic songs were chanted by wan-
dering minstrels inthe days of Attila
and Charlemagne, but they are lost.
The epic singer of that age appeared
before an audience and declaimed in
musical recitative. Germany has but
one literary fragment of that day—the
song of Hilderbrand. “Small as is the
fragment left to us, it is a noble fruit,
and from it we may infer the grandeur
of the tree which bore it. " The German
poets learnedtorhymc from the Roman
nations. The first traces of rhyme in
Germany appear in the ninth century.
Beginning about the year 600 two lan-
guages, theEHigh German and the Low
German, began to be formed. The
author says that among all the Teutonic
languages, whether of older or more
modern times, none can compare for
melody with the Old High German, as
seen inthe rhyming poets of. the ninth-
century. It is rich in vowels, melodi-
ons and plastic as Italian. The mother
tongue of Charlemagne was High Ger-
man, and from that monarch date the
first connected recordsinthc German
language.’ ’

'rnE man DEER.

'According to Dr. Macgowon's colla-
tion regarding the history of muskas

deer is found throughout the mountains
of Yun-nan, Szechwan and Thibet.
This little animal is so timid that it
Often dies of fright. It feeds on juniper .
leaves and reptiles. ‘In spring its pecu-
liar glandular pouch is greatly swollen
and inflamed, and the secretion is
always voided by the deer on the same
spot and covered over with earth. In
such places deposits of musk of a super-
ior quality are found, amounting some—
times to twenty pounds in weight, and
of so pungent anature that if carried
through agarden or wood it prevents
fructification. Thisvaluable substance _
no sooner leaves the hands of the hunter
than skilful manipulators adulterate it
for the wholesale dealers, who further
so debasc it for the trade that there is
finally in the mixture ofi‘ered very little
indeed of genuine musk, say only about
ten per cent. Musk is said to be de~
structive to intestinal worms, and an
antidote to the venom of serpents.

What greater thing is there for two .

pain. to be one with each other in silent

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

About 1774, there lived in a foundry
at Launne a man who walked over bars
of red-hot iron with bare feet, and held
burning coals in his hands. On exam-
ination it was found that his skin
emitted a kind of -“uncticus transpira-
tion " to which he owed its preservation.

A man named Lionetti, a Sidilian,
exhibited similar feats, to the great
astonishment of the Neapolitans, but in
his case it was afterwards discovered
that he used some chemical preparation.

Lemontini 'found that by frequent
frictions of sulphuric acids he was able

flesh; that a solution of alum would rc-
store the parts to their former sensi-
bility to heat, and that an application
of soap to the tongue enabled himto
bring it into contact with iron at a white
heat with impunity, and it is doubtless
by this means that our modern conjure
era and fire-eaters are able to do their
tricks.

Some years ago an experiment was
made to see what degree of heat it was
possible for a man to hear. The experi-
ment took place at New Tivoli, Paris,
in the presence of about 200 people,
upon a Spaniard named Martinez, forty-
three years of age. A large dome-
shaped oven was heated by a very pow-
erful fire for four hours. ,At ten min-
utes past eight Martinez dressed in
large pantaloons of red flannel, abad
conductor of heat, a cloak of the same
material, and a broad-brimmed quilted
felt hat, went into the oven and re-
mained'seated on a footstool fourteen
minutes, exposed to a heat of from for-
ty-five to fifty degrees of a metallic
thermometer, the graduations of which
only ascended to fifty degrees. He sang
a Spanish song while a fowl was roasted
by his side. Before he entered the
oven his pulse beat at seventy, on com-
ing out at 134 a minute.

In a second experiment he ate the

fowl in the oven, when it was suffici-
ently cooked, and drank a bottle Of wine

to the health of the spectators. 0n
coming out this time, after a longer.
stay, his pulse beatat176 per minute
and the thermometer registered a heat
of 110 degrees Reaumer.

Immediately after this, for a third
experiment ,ho was stretched ona plank
surrounded with lighted candles, thrust
into the oven and the door closed. He
was there nearly five minutes, when
there was a cry of “Enough, enough;
take him out." On opening the oven
doorsanoxious and suffocating vapor
came from the oven and the candles
were all burned away. The Spaniard
whose pulse beat 200 a minute, immedi-
ately on coming out threw himself into
a cold bath and inafew minutes ap-
peared smiling, and apparently safe and
sound, before the audience.

UNFILIAL “ PRINCE J OHN."

While his father was President young
John Van Buren visited England, and,
as the son of the President of the United
States, he received great attention. He
dined with the Queen, who was then a
young girl, where his superior grace of
manners, fine conversational powers
and witticisms made him appear to
greater advantage than the titled flun-
keys who were around Her Majesty.
He attended one of the balls at Bucking-
ham Palace and danced pith her, and
the story was told that Her Majesty be-
came very sweet on him. It was this
incident that gave him the cognomen of
" Prince John.” There was another
story in circulation about him which
illustrates his want of special reverence
for his father. The old gentleman and
John had a habit of lying in bed in the
morning. Finally, one day the former
said to his son that a reform must be
instituted—that both must rise earlier.
The hopeful agreed and suggested that
the first one who got up should go to
the room of the other and pull him out
of bed! This was agreed to. John was
out all the following night on a " lar "
and did not reach home till next mom-
ing about 5. . He went to his father's
room and took hold of him for the pur-
pose of pulling him out of bed. The
old gentleman protested against being
disturbed, saying he had not had suffici-
ent sleep. "Look here, governor, it
was your own proposition that we should
institute a reform in regard to lying in
bed so late. Here I am, up at your re- 7
quest, and you wont fulfill your part of
the agreement. Remember, the onewho
got up first was to pull the other out of
bed. So now get up, or I’ll pull you
out." Tell it not in Gath I This young
scamp madejthe President of the United
States get up in spite of himself. After
seeing the old gentleman dress himself
the rascal sneaked to his own room and
was soon in his bed asleep. The story
got out by John telling on his father to
a lot of boon companions. John after-
ward becamc a famous lawyer and

politician. ..

CEREBRAL smomn‘.

The practice of taking too or cofi'eelby
students, says the Popular Science Monthly,
in order to work at night, is downright
madness. especially when preparing
for an examination. More than half of
the cases of break-down. loss of mem-,
ory, fainting. etc. which occur during
severe examinations, and far more fre-
quently than is commonly known, are
due to this. I frequently hear of prom-
ising students who have thus failed.
and. on. inquiry, have learned—in
almost every instance—that the victim
has previously drugged himself with
tea or codes. Sleep is the rest of the
brain : to rob the hard-worked brain of
its necessary rest is cerebral suicide.

. My old friend, the late Thomas Wright.

was a victim of this terrible folly. He

of Julius Caesar," by Napoleon III., and
to do it in a cruelly short time. He
fulfilled his contract by sitting up sev-
eral nights successivelylby the aid of
strong tea or coffee—I forgot which. I
saw him shortly] afterward. In a few
weeks. he had aged alarmingly and
become quite bald, his brain- gavoiway
and never recovered. There was but
little difference between his age [and
mine, and but for this dreadful cerebral
strain, rendered possible only'ipy the
alkaloid (for otherwise he would have
fallen to sleep over his work and there-
by saved his life), he might still be
amusing and instructing thousands of
readers byfresh volumes of popularized

archaeological research.

For the past ten years a large snake has
infested the locality of Brown's brook in
the town of Fairchild. A few days ago
Captain W. B. Meeker, while making the
customary spring inspection of this prop-
erty, came upon the snake basking in the
sun. He succeeded in killing it. It was
over ten feet long and three inches in
diameter.

Joseph Price, a farm hand, working for
John McNary of Haddam, met with a ter.
rible accident last week. He was at work
with a pair of oxen, harrowing ‘some
ploughed ground, when the animals be-
came frightened and ran. In attempting
to stop them Price got caught in the har-
row and was dragged some distance under
it, the teeth lacerating his flesh in a terri-
ble manner. He was picked up insensible.

The annual meeting of the Grand Tem-

The night watchman at the brass and
iron foundry at Shelton was assaulted by
two men Monday night, who kicked and -
clubbed him until he was unconscious.
The men went into the engine room and
unscrewed the nuts and loosened the bolts
in the boiler and .engine. While they
were at work the watchman recovered
sufficiently to give an alarm and the men
were captured. They proved to be John
Bristol and John Granger, discharged em-
ployes.

F. W. Goodale has a dead fouchgged
chicken. The chicken came from an egg
in an incubator. Mr. Goodale noticed the
egg was “pipped,” and expected to see a
chicken appear. As the necessary time
passed without any further movement he
opened the shell and found there a per-
fectly formed chicken, having four per-
fect legs. One pair of legs appeared in
the proper place; the other pair grew
from the breast below the wings. It is to
be regretted the bird did not live.—-Dan-
bury News. '

Verily the wicked man who presides

Let a person place his hand near the
belt of a dynamo machine for electric light
in Shelton, and another or several others
join hands with him, and the last one, by
holding his hands near a gas jet, will
light it.—Tra7tscr1'pt. If age has not im-
paired her battery, our own Clara Louise,
the songstress, can beat that to death.

' Why, when she wasa girl yet in her teens,
simply by shuffling in her stocking feet
across a Wilton carpet and then suddenly
pointing her finger at the gas jet she could
light the same; and this by the only
“spark" that her mamma ever allowed her
to have anything seriously to do with,
viz., the spark electric. This can be veri-
fied—Anemia Sentinel.

Thursday evening, about .6 o’clock,
Pinkus Ullman, a Jew, dunncd James
Jakens, a colored farm hand, for a bill of
$2 The result was the negro assaulted
the Hebrew, giving him a blow in the eye,
and bruising the back of his head. U11:
man entered complaint and J akcns was ar.
rested. During the trial Saturday forcnoon
evidence was given showing that Ullman
struck Jakens on the head with a milk
pail. Judge Platt thought that Ullman
should be prosecuted for breach of the
peace. This was done and he was fined
$4 and costs. Jakens, for assault, was
fined $2 and costs. Had the Jew known
that in making his complaint against the
darkey it would result in his being fined,
and more heavily, too, than his assailant,
it is safe to infer that the case would not
have come into court.—Ansonia Sentinel.

Standard .'—A noteworthy illustration
of mechanical ability and skill was made
apparent last week by the completion of
the Annie B., a steam yacht that has been
in the process of construction for some
time. The builder and designer is J amcs
Black, an employs of the Bridgeport
Forge (30., and its advent will make an
important addition to the yachts that now
grace the waters of the Sound. The
length over all is twenty-five feet with a
six foot beam, and with the exception of
a three horse-power boiler, made by the
Pacific Iron Works, and a little carpenter
work, Mr. Black deserves all the credit
for its production. On Monday last, ac-
companied by a number of machinists and
mechanics from the Forge 00., he took a
trial spin to test its capacity and sea-
worthiness, and steamed ten miles in a
Long Islanddirection and return. All the
participants;were unstinled in their admi-
ration of the the boat. Mr. Black has la-
bored assiduously in its construction, but
the symmetry ofgthe yacht, and the speed
it. develops—being something over ten
miles an hour——has amply repaid him for

 

cash. Enquire at this since.
