"A MAX AS WAS WRONGED.'
If it had been a pleasant day, and if
we hadn't all been out of sorts with our
luck, wo should' have had a word of
wolcome lor the stranger as he-entered
.1 . i ,
our camp mai wreicncii aKcrnoon. as
it was, fifty of us saw him leave Chinese
Trail at Dead Man's Elbow and walk
into our camp, and never a man rose up i
to salute him. !
The st Ringer seemed to expect jusf,
such a reception. That is. lie didn't
seem a bit surprised. He passed down
the single street vve had named ltoad to '
l!iehe3, turned to the lefl at the lone
pine tree, and without onee lookinjr '
around him he staked oil" a claim and
began to erect a 0iarity. '
"Had man. I'm afearod." rrovled
Judge Slasher, a- he partly closed one --pressing thi
eve and o-Mve tlie.st,raiir(r the Imnnfit of forclnir them
the squint.
"Bin bounced out of some camp fur
Btealin" added the big chap from
Kentucky.
"Tell you. he's got a hang-dog
look." put in the mau known as
Ohio '
I
Uill." I
Every man in the camp was down on
the fresh arrival, and that without
cause. Ordinarily we were a jolly set, i
and a stranger coming among us met
with words of cheer, but that afternoon '
the devil was to pay. The three mules
belonging to camp Had strayed off and
been gobbled by the Indians, and on
the heels of this discovery came the an
nouncement that we had only salt
enongh to last two days, while the sugar'
was entirely gone.
So we were cross-grained and out of
sorts, and it was luckv fur the stranger
that lie gave us no cause to pick a quar
rel. The next day was bright and fair,
and if it hadn't been for Judge Slasher
some of us would have gone over and
excused our manners and asked the
stranger to chip in and become neigh
borly; but the Judge said:
"He's a bad un, he is. I kin tell it
by the way his head is set on his
body. Fust thing we know a commit
tee will eopie a'oiiir here and gobble
him up fur robbery or murder."
Two weeks had jiaciL and while
some of us had given the stranger a
curt "good morning" no one had
struck hands with h-m,, or entered his
shanty to smoke a friendly pipe. Then
a climax came. The six of us occupy
ing one shant were working in com
mon, and our bar of dus.t wis buried in
a corner of the Pre-placc. One niom-:ng-thisbag
w.mTsiin, and you e:tn
imagine that there was a first-class row
in no time. There was the hole" where
some one had dug under the stoucsand
earned oil
our treasure, and whom
were Ave to suspect? U'e hail faith in
each other, and we could not suspect
outsiders because none of them knew I
where our ba;r was concealed, aud be
cause this was the lirst ea-e of stealing
ever known on I3eis Jane Kill. I
. Yes, we were mad, and in the excite
ment of the brst discovery we came ,
near having a free tight among our- '
selves. It increased our anger to dis- !
cover that we could nt reasonably sus
pect any one, and this fact made every
one of us try the harder to pick up a
elue. At length Judge Slasher sprang '
to his feet with the exclamation:
"By the bones of K'dd! but I know
the thief!"
"Who is he?"
"Thathang-dog, sheep-stealingstran-ger!

Fishing with Horses Tor Bait.
In traversing the Lianas ot the Prov
ince of Caracas, in order to embark at
San Fernando de Apure, on the voyage
up the Orinoco, M. Bonpland stopped
at Calabozo. his object being to investi
gate the history of the gymnotus. an
electric eel. great numbers of which are
found in the neighborhood. After re
maining three days there some Indians
conducted Inn to the Cano de Bera." a
muddy aud stagnant basin, but sur
rounded by rich vegetation, in which
some grand Indian figs and some mag
citicent tlowering odoriferous mimosas
were pre-eminent- He and his friends
were much surprised when informed
that it would be necessary to take thirty
"half-wild horses from the neighboring
savannahs m ortler to tish lor the gvm-
- . '11 I r It-" .- L- Mi i
notus. The idea of this fishing, called.
in the language of the country, emlar
bascar con calndlos (intoxicating by
means of horses), is very old. The
word barbasco indicates the roots of
the Lacquinia, or any other poisonous
plant, by ontact of which a body of
water acquires the property of killing,
or. at legist, of intoxicating' or stupefy
ing,' the fishes. While their hosts wore
explainiug to M. Bonpland and party
this strange mode of fishing, the troop
of horses and mules had arrived, and
the Indians had made a sort of battue.
horses on all sides, and

diaus, armed with long canes and har
poons, placed themselves round the
basin; some of them mounting the
trees, whose branches hunor over the
water, and by their cries, and still more
. -. ...ivr ...is uiimuui .a.u .u
uv their canes, preventing the horses
from landing again. The eels, stunned
bv the noise, 'defended themselves by
repeated discharges of their batteries.
For a long time it seemed as if they
would be victorious over the horses.
Some of the mules especially, being
almost sti led by the frequency
and force of the shock, disappeared un
der the water, and some of the horses,
in spite of tho watchfulness of the In
dians, Tegained the bank, where, over
come by the shocks they had under
gone, they stretched at full length.
The picture presented, M. Bonpland
says, was now indescribable. Groups of
Indians surrounded the basin, the
horses, with bristling manes, terrorand
grief in their eyes, trying to escape
trora the storm which had surprised
them; the eels, yellow and livid, loos
ing like great aquatic serpents swim
ming on the water and chasing their
enemies, were objects at once appalling
and picturesque. In less than five min
utes two horses were drowned. An
eel more than live feet long glided un
der one horse, discharged its apparatus
through its whole extent; attacking at
i once tne heart, tlie viscera, ana tne
plexus of the nerves of the animal,
probably benumbing and finally drown
ing it. When the struggle had endured
a quarter of an hour, the horses and
mules appeared less irightened, the
manes became more erect, the eyes ex-
I pressed less terror, tho eels shunned in
place or attacking them, at the same
time approaching the bank, when they
were easily taken by means of the long
cord, and were drawn ashore without
being able, to communicate, any shock.
Having landed the eels they were
transported to little pools dug in the
soil and filled with fresh water, but
such is the terror they inspire that none
of the people of the country would re
lease them from the- harpoon, a task
which the travelers had to perform
themselves, and receive the first shock,
which was not slight, the most ener
getic surpassing in force that, commu
nicated by a Xeyden jar completely
charged. The gymnotus surpasses in
sbe and strength all the other electric
fishes. They vary in color according
to age-and the nature of the muddy
water in which they live.

Kerosene oi Life.
At this season of the year more light
is needed than at any other. In rural
districts a large amount of kerosene is
used. The" use of tallow and whale oil
has nearly passed away. Tallow, oil
and kerosene are changed to gas before
.they develop light. They are al
changed to gas by neat, ine gas tne.
carbon is th source of light ami neat
The sparks that fly from burning gas
whether the gts be made from tallow
whale oil or kerosene, are carbon. The
coal or wood we burn to warm our
homes yield-light and heat by igniting
the hydrogen and carbon they contain
Another element is needed to develoj
light and heat, namely, oxygen. Thi
whole process of producing heat and
light are the same, whatever .substances
we may cmploj'. Kerosene contains
other elements than hydrogen and car
lon, and so does common liurning gas.
A great objection to the latter for pro
ducing light is that it flickers and pro
duces an unsteady light and so harms
the eves. Kerosene is more steady in
its burning, and so is much healthier for
the eyes. It is rapidly gaining in pop
ularity among students and others, who
an' compelled to use artificial ligbt.
Hydrogen and carbon combines read
ily with the oxygen of the air. In burn
ing they necessarily use and destroy the
oxygen any room contains. Oxygen, so
nbsolutely'necessarv in sustaining ani
mal life, in combining with the hydro
gen and carbon, forms a new compound.
It is plain enough to see that oxygen
must be constantly supplied, or inhala
tion is soon impossible. Health, then,
demands not only that vitiated air
should be removed", but that fresh, pure
air should be introduced into any room
occupied by any animals. Health de
mands a proper amount of oxygen, or
it requires ventilation or vitiated air go
ing out and pure air coming in; Kero
sene yields a given amount of light at a
muoh cheaper rate than oil or tallow, or
ordinary gas, at present rates. The
best way of burning kerosene, is in the
student's lamp. It is at once safer,
more economical and healthier than any
other. It is healthier, because the air
of the room in which it is consumed is
purer and does not disturb the eyes.
Rood and pure kerosene is not ex
plosive. Plunge n lighted taper into it
aud it will not explode. A poor or im
pure article is sometimes sold and used.
It may be well to tell our readers some
thing about its origin and way of puri
fying. Coal oil from which kerosene is
made is found in the cavities of the
earth. It is not a simple substance but
is composed of benzine, benzoline, gas
oline, kersoline and other light hydro
carbons, differing in their volatility.
Some of these are much more volatile
than others. Kerosene, when properly
prepared, is not very volatile, does not
easily inflame, and so does not explode.
If it is impure, or tinsafetoburn.it
contains some one or more of the other
ingredients of coal oil. Plunging a
burning taper into a dish of it ignites
the volatile impurities. The demand
for the very volatile ingredients is so
small that "the inducement to let them
remain mixed with kerosene is very
great. Coal oil is separated into several
distinct elements by distillation. The
oil is exposed to heat. The most vola
tile elements pass into a proper receiver
at the lowest tempeRiture. Naphtha is
ver' volatile and yet may be allowed to
remain mingled with kerosene, and so
render the mixture- explosive. Some
dealers, in kerosene may add ten to
twenty per cent, of naphtha and thus
render it inflammable, explosive and
highlv dangerous.
Fill a lamp with bad kerosene or with
its vapor, and it will not ignite unless
the oxygen mixes with it. A lamp full
of kerosene or vapor may be compara
tively safe. Lamps may not explode
when first lighted If they be entirely
full. Kerosene lamps, then, are never
so safe as when they arc entirely full,
or an; filled every day, if in use. Im
pure kerosene may not explode when
the space above the oil is full of vapor.
When kerosone lamps are extin
guished, and become cool, the vapor is
condensed, and so does not fill the
space above the oil, and leaves a partial
vacuum; air gets in and mixes with the
vapor, ami may explode when relighted,
without first refilling it with oil and
driving out the vapor. If the oil is
nearly all consumed and the space above
the small amotmt of oil that remains is
full of vapor, it will not explode if it
remains at rest upon the table. Agitat
ing the lamp, or carrying it into a cool
er room may so condense the vapor as
to admit the air and then the mixtures
may oxplode. It is alwaj-s dangerous
to expose a lamp of kerosene to the cool
outside air, because doing so condenses
the vapor and allows air to enter and
mix with it. Small lamps for carrying
about the house should always bo ready
for immediate use, so that large lamps
may remain quiet upon the table. The
great fact, then, is that the oxygen of
the air should not be allowed to mix
with the vapor of kerosene. The
student's lamp guards against this con
tingency. But all persons can not have
this lamp, and so they should know how
to determine the safety of the kerosene
the' burn. We now see the bearing of
kerosene upon health and life. Ex
perience and observation shmv it geno
Ritcs the best kind of light, the most
steady flame. Its use demands the
most complete ventilation as does the
use of any burning substance. We
have ordinary gas fixtures in our house,
but we rarely use them,- because kero
sene is much cheaper and produces a
better light. C. IT. Allen, M. D., in

The Future Farm and Farmer.
Ex-President Paul A. Chadbournc in
a scholarly lecture gave excellent sug
gestions about the future farm and farm
er. The home stands first in importance.
If building anew, let the dwelling be
placed on high land where the air is
clear and dry and the water pure. Fear
not a little wind, when in trees judi
ciously set you have the means of break
ing its force. If the house is not on the
right sideif the farm then plan for it
where it should be and set trees and
build roads to correspond with the plan.
Act as though the f:u-m were to be your
home or the home of some one else for
fenerations yet unborn. See that the
schools are just as good as you know
how to make them, but do not neglect
home education. Iceland has no schools,
and yet her prople are the liest educated
of any people in the world. Make your
.wife and children happy with home life.
Do not educate the children off from the
farm. See that they acquire a love for
nature, trees and flowers, and the study
of rocks, minerals and insects. Enough
of these may be found upon every farm
to make an Agassiz. Don' t let j'our chil
dren pine over those arithmetical puz
zles, or wean theirbrains over geogra
phy which will do them no special good,
but let them learn something useful.
And never on an account sena a boy to
college; let him go if he must, but never
send nim. If half those who are in col
leges now had been kept at home-it.
would have been better for them aud far
better for the wprld. Keep all at home .
Sossible, and then there will be enougl
rawn away by the attractions of tSi
outside world to fill, all .needed places.
The-farmer's home in the future will tx
not only the best place to be born in, bu
the best place to live, and the best placi
tn which to end one's davs.
Both for Its effect upon fattening
and upon health a small amount of wood
ashes should be given to swine. The
food without this is rich in phosphorii
acid, but has little lime, and the equiv
lent should be thus supplied.

ANIMAL PECULIARITIES.
An article on the peculiarities of a
few of the countless animal species may
interest the boys, and men also, for
that matter. The theme is inexhausti
ble. Infinite wisdom in the creation,
wherein man has never been enabled,
and never will be able, to discover a
single error, is as manifest in the brute
formation and instincts, as elsewhere.
Observe, lirst, the camel genus, includ
ing the dromedary, with their singular
adaptation to the traversing of the
desert. Note his spreading feet, that
shall not sink deeply iu the sand, and1
thereby im cde his progress: also his
self-sustaimng supply of water, during
six or ten days; and, more particularly,
the little plat of short, stiff hair within
his nostrils, through which, by closing
down the upper lid. he can sift air from
tho sand for respiration in like manner
as fish sepanite air from water, through
the "gills." His spinal column and
fiaxwax, which support his head and
ong neck in a horizontal and curved
position, upward, are more peculiar
than in the horse or ox, or any other of
the shorter-necked animals. He is
very docile, possesses great strength,
with astonishing power of endurance.
DeQuincy. in his narrative of the grand
exodus of the Ca'mue Tartars, states
that the camel was the only animal
which endured, to the end, the terrible
hardships of hunger, thirst, cold and
heat, wh'eh reduced six hundred thou
sand souls to two hundred thousand.
The moose has a combination of
mouth and nostrils which enables him
to eat irrass and other herbs under
water, and an especially straight, trim
and' delicate leg and hoofs, which shall
not cntan rle him iu the meshes of herbs
and bru-di wood. He is the animal of
the swamp." as the camel is of the
desert He is said to out trot the fleet
est horse, but never canters. '
The hog. in his inner formation, re
sembles man more, nearly th m any
other known' animal. He has his com
bined carnivorous and granivorous
stomach, and1 his contrariness. As
contRiry a? a hog." is a proverb. He
has been taught to read figures and
letters and to do other astonishing
thing His tusks are horns, not teeth.
Fancy a row of teeth, with a horn in
their midst. Yet it is a horn, the same
as if upon the top of his head, it has
the pith of the horn; and a moment's
reflection must convince even the
skeptc thaV a tooth would not answer
the intended purpose. It would break
and he would be worsted in battle. As
he is. the wild boar is said to have gored
the king of beasts, the lion, to his van-
quishment and death. His greatest
peculiarity is that he is not a ruminant,
in common with the split-hoofed genus;
and because he does not chew the cud,
the Jews rejected him as unclean.
1 he flog species have very many pe-l
cuuarities Ihe hound, the coach, the
bull, shepherd, drover, setter, the noble
Newfoundland and St. Bernard, and
others. My little terrier, or ratter, has
hair growing in a curve over his eyes,
which hides their glare from the cun
ning rat. yet does not obstruct his own
vision. This gives him great advan
tage, like unto pussy-cats' sensitive
"smellers.' The dog never sweats or
perspires, he has to "loll" it out of his
mouth. Though he runs until he falls,
his jacket is not moistened like other
animals; and he can plunge into the
water at the end of a heated race with
out injury, or the rheumatic pains to
which man and other animals are sub
jected. Yet, his skin, when tinned, is
nearly as porous as that of the deer.
This " fact would seem to require an
inner impervious skin, or film, which
alike estops perspiration and excludes

There is no task devolving on aschool
boy more irksome than composition
writing. When I was a lad, my tutor in
whose head ideas lay imbedded like fire
in a flint sought to emphasize the fact
that, with a Tittle practice, it was as
easy as turning over; and so it is, when
you know how. He would set no rules
for composition, being impressed with
the Platonic idea that rhetoric consists
in ruling the minds of men and that
this art cannot be learned from text
books. W hencver the boys complained
of the difficulty they experienced in
evolving their ideas, he would say:
" Do not be in haste to accomplish a
great deal at the outset. Study hart'
and practice constantly. Be easy,
uatural and wide-awake. Never imi
tate, except so far as it may be neces
sary to form your taste. Read good
books nay, the best books and trust
yonr instinct to the end."
Most boys fail in their early projects
because their ambition outruns their
energy. Our youth should not forget
that they are boys and girls, and that
great things will not be required of
them until their powers have matured.
Study natmre; be easy and unatlect
nd; never spread your wings until you
have learned to walk with a firm step
on the ground.! One aim should be
kept steadily iu viuwr:..- Do the best you
can. What is failure to ,a ,.miud disci
plined in theuigher uses of its talents?
it is but a whip that spurs it on to re
newed effort. Our early failures give
us hints, of success.
Oftentimes, when writing a note,- we
say, apologetically: "In great haste."
This is a fair excuse for one who has
few intervals of leisure. But it will not
avail as an apology for the shortcom
ings of a work which is supposed to en
gage our best'talents. and which Invites
criticism. Nothing great was ever ac-'
complished in haste.
Agatharius, an Athenian painter,
valued himself upon the celerity and
ease with which he executed his work.
Whereupon, Xeuxis, the greater artist,
remarked to him:
"HI boast, it shall be of the slow
ness with which I finish mine."
Once get the notion out of your head
that there is an easy path to fame and;
fortune, and yon may soon boast of s
wisdom greater, than that of the school
room. Some bovs with large natural endow
ments are the envv ot their less-favored
companions. And yet many a lad
ripens like fruit out o season, and owes
his bright appearance without to Imper
fections within.
I do not know whether or not to mar
vel at the genius of these people the
more, from the fact that Mozart and
Bnethoven comnosed music in their in
fanev, Koldoni wrote a comedy before
his eighth birthday. Chatterton lisped
in numbers, and John Stuart Mill read
Greek at 'tlie age of four. Inspiration
oi'tthis sort does not seize all young'
people alike, and as few minds expand
under hot-house influences, we need not
regret Ae fact.

choly child, with an old head on its

There is often moro push in a dull boy
than in a prodigy who "shows off" to
admiring audiences, and is pampered
and spoiled. Let no dull boy despair,
if he studies hard and j'et fails to take
a prize or reach the head of his class.
" Labor," said Tom Moore, " is tho
parent of all tho lasting monuments of
this world, whether in verse or stone,
in poetry or in pyramids."

The Two Hats.
They were about the same size, and
looked much alike. They were great
friends. One w:is a wise old rat, and
the other was a young rat who thought
himself wise.
The wise old rat we will call Craty.
His home was in Farmer Kural's cellar:
that is to say, the f rout-door of it opeu
ed into the cellar; but there was a back
door in the garden, ami there were
passage ways under ground, leading to
the corn-barn and the drain.
Crafty had studied the ways of the
human race for nianv years. In his
view man was created for the beuehtof
rats. He had known men who were al
most as sly as rats; but on the whole he
looked upon them as inferior beings.
Simple, who lived close by, had also
a great contempt for men and women.
He olten boasted that he got his board
and lodging all at their expense. But
he did not know half as much as he
thought he did; and many a time he had
been kept from getting into a scrape by
his good friend Crafty.
One night, about twelve o'clock,
Crafty and Simple started out together
to see what the could find. Having
poked into every corner of Farmer
Bund's cellar, without getting anything
better than raw potatoes, they made
their way up stairs.
Just at tho head of the stairs they
came upon a sort of wire safe in which
there w;is amost tempting bitof cheese.
The door of the safe was o.ien.
"Heie's a feast." said Simple; and
he was about to dart into the safe.
" Stop, my youngfriend," said Cni'ty,
sitting lolt" upright on his haunches.
"'1 hat cheese has been put there on
purpose for us."
" Well, then, wliy shouldn't we take
it?" said Simple.
VTase my advice," said Crafty,'
' and let the cheese alone.- Many a fine
young rat has. been cut off iu the flower
of his otitli by snatching at the first
good th ng that happened: to be put in
his way. That sale is what men call a
trap, and ?L is a very unsaie thing for
you to meddle with."
A few ii'ghts afterAhe two friends
started out onee more, and in the mid
dle of the cellar they found a nice -barrel
of meal. Simple was on the point
of jumping right int it; but old Crafty
stopped him again.
" Don t you know bettor than that,
you greeuhorn?" said he. "Never
jump into a barrel iu. that way. Look
here." And, crawling on the rim of
the barrel, he flapped his long tail into
tle, meal. "Splash, splash!" Bight
under the meal there was water.
"Ho. ho. Farmer Bural!" said Crafty,
"thats your game, is itr ion can
keep this meal for your own eating."
But the next time that the two rats
went out together, poor Simple did not
come off" so well. In spite of his friend's
advice, he went after some bread
crumbs that were scattered 011 the top
of what seemed to be a harmless wood
en box.
It was a trap, of course. Simple was
caught, and Cratt- had to go back to
his hole alone. Nursery.
A tiurdjm iu a Cellar.
In a brick house close to the brow of
a precipice at the coiner of Palisade
and Charles street. West Hoboken, lives
a Frenchman not yet sixty j'ears of age,
bnt looking much older, his form beiug
stooped by ysars of work in a stooping
posture. He is Jean Conord, a mush
room cultivator. His father followed
the same trade in a small village iu the
Department of the Seine. His earliest
jears were associated with mushroom
beds, and when his father died lie suc
ceeded him in the business, which he
followed until he was thirty-three years
of age. Twenty-six years ago he came
to New York, and established himself
at Forty-ninth street and Sixth avenue,
where ho remained one year perfecting
his arrangement and securing contracts
and customers. Then he removed to
the place he uow occupies in West Ho
boken, where a reporter recently vis-
itcd him.
Before entering the cellars at the rear
of the house, where the mushrooms are
grown. Mr. Conord showed tho re
porter a handful of rich earth. Here
aud there upou its surface he pointed
out what looked like very short white
threads, and these, he said, were tho
germs of the miiihroom. He planted
them iu the nutritious soil, where they
would, all things being favorable, iu a
few hours throw up the little button
shaped heads that he loved to see.
The cellars in wh.ch the cultivation J
is in progress number fourteen, each
sixty-live feet by fourteen. They are
arched over the top, and arc very dry
and quite dark. Taking a candle and
giving his visitor another, M. Conord
entered one of the cellars, the reporter
following him. The atmosphere" was
heavy with the odorol mushrooms, and
the dim light of the candles showed
rows of earth, similar to that already
described, placed on narrow benches
about four leet high and extending all
around the cellar. In the.-'o the white
germ was everywhere visible, while iu
certain places little bunches of mush
rooms were seen. The rows of earth
were conical, and not more than six or
seven inches iu height. They were
very smooth, and not a particle of soil
was permitted to fall tinou the cleanly
swept floor. Everything in the cellars
was in the most "perlect order. The
mushroom is so sensitive that the pres
ence of a substance with a strong or
rank odor would, in all probability, de
stroy the entire crop.
"My life is passed in these cellars,"
said the old mushroom cultivator, med
itatively, as he emerged from the dark
cave. " I have no interest iu any other
pursuit For years 1 have lived only
to grow mushrooms. I force nothing,,
but merely try to remove out of Na
ture's path some of the obstacles that
she encounters in thi3 country. In

How to Shake Hands.
There are only two or three people
now living who can successfully shake
hands. There is a good deal of hand
shaking done through the country, es
pecially at this season of tho year, but
only a verv small per cent, of the
shakers ami shaVees know how to do it
so as to get the entire amount of exhila
ration out of it. Some grab the hand
of an adversary in a quick, nervous
manner that scares the victim nearly to
death, while others slide the cold and
clammy paw at you so that you feel the
same a when you drop a cold raw
oyster with vinegar on it down your
back. If you are shaking hands with a
lady, incline the head forward with a
soft and graceful yet half-timid move
ment, like a boy climbing a barbed-wire
fence with a fifty-pound watermelon.
Look gently in her eyes with a kind of
pleading smile; beam on her features a
bright and winsome beam, say somer
thing that you have heard some one else
say on similar occasions, and in the
meantime shako her hand in a subdued
yet vigorous way, not as though you
were trying to make a mash by pulver
izing her lingei:, nor yet in too con
servative a manner, allowing her hand
to fall with a sickening thud when you
let go., Care should be taken also not
to hang onto the hand more than half
an hour in public, as bystanders might
make remarks. This is now considered
quite outre and mandamus. BUI Nye's
