THE TRICK OF WK CHANGED TO WATER EXPLAINED.

Tbe PreaHar IMieaw« (a \T1t!eh Animal* la Confinement Are ^abject—How Stickle'iaclu Co««tru«t Xeots aid Protect and C.ir« foi* Their Touf.

As soon os the pairing season acts in tbo first care of tb« stickleback is to provide tho nest, llo ns much of nest builder as any bird, and furthermore does nli tho work without aid from his partner. First lie collects a juantity of delicate, fibrous material, the tissues of macerated land plants and water weeds these he trials with bis mouth into an irregular circular mass, somewhat depressed and about an inch and a quarter in diameter. Thou be covers the top with similar materials, and leaves in the center of one aide an aperture to act as a doorway. As he mats the ilben together by creeping over them with his body, he cements them firmly with the siituy mucus thai escapes from bis akin.

STrCKr.EIIACKS AND TUKIR NK8T. In a few hours the nest is completed and the littlo architect sets out in quest, of a partner. This partner, when found, he pushes with his snout into the nest In ft f«w minutes she lnys two or three tiny transparent yellow eg^s, ntter which she leaves the nest through a hole 1miw1 with her snout opposite tho one by which she entered. The nest lias now two doors, and the eggs aro exposed to tho cool stream of water-which entering by one dt)0!' flows out at the other. This by keeping up afresh and constant current supplies Ui«m with the "xygon necessary for hatching. Next day tho little sultan brings a new partner to hi* home to arid a few more eggs tn his stock of spawn. This operation b»» reju'iils itil tn* nest nearly full, when he sets to work hiimelf to incubate them. In about one month the young are hatched, when it becomes the duty of the male to pi-O-tect ami cure for them.

Sticklebacks nre by no menus ihe onfy fish the males of which take care of their helplers progeny. Certain catfl.di* for example, and many other sjiecii-s. construct nests like good fathers and guard tha spawn deposited in them by th»-tr unnatural spouses. The cut representing a pair of sticklebacks and their nest Is ivproduced from Cornliill Magaxiue.

An |{(»reiMi l»i Prestidigitation. The secret, of prestidigitator's most curious tri'-k is made to »ipt»'iir an exceedingly simple operation by Iv« Nature, in which occur* thu explanation here given.

!MK CltANOKI* TO WATER

Tho prestidigitator placos upon a table a glass half full of a black liquid that has every appearance of lieing ink. ilo shows the spectators a white card, dips it into the glass an 1 takes it out stained with black. (See cut.) This done, he conceals tbo glass under a napkin or handkerchief then he suddenly removes the latter and the glass is seen to contain a clear liquid, which is water. (See cut.) This trick excites very great astonishment when it is well |erformed but nothing is easier than to repeat it. l*uro vrat?r is jioured into a tumbler, and the lower part of tho latter is lined with a strip of black cloth, flannel or cashmere, up to the levrl of Mm liquid. At a certain distance off this gives the water ovory appearance of being ink.

Previous to this a card has been prepared by coloring a third of on© of its sides with black ink. When this card is shown to tho spectators it is presented to them white Ride foremost After it has been dipped into tho Alleged ink, it is turned around so as to show tho inked mrfaoo, and it then appears as if it bad really been immersed in ink.

Then the glass is covered with the fabric, and the latter is inserted into it far enough to ailow the lingers to grasp the black lining and quickly remove it, and thus make the black liquid appear as water.

Experiments of tho same nature may be more scientifically performed by means of chemical precipitates. Add tincture of iodine to crystallised acetic acid, and you will ohfciiu a red liquid having

Uh

appearance of wine.

Pour into the mixture solution of hyposulphite of soda, and you will obtain a milk white liquid, and the win* will went to have been converted into milk. Put seme iodide of potassium into an aqueous solution of a salt of mercury (the blchlorkie, for example), and vou will have a ml precipitate iodide of mercury. An excess of the reagent dissolve* tbe preci|itate, and the color disappears. This latter experiment is very curioua, tince the two liquids liavp tbe appearance of water.

THE CUfiOSITY SHOP.

"Texas** of a SteamlN»at*»How Derived Its Kame. Tbe tern "texas," applied to tbe barricaM deck of a steamboat, had its origin on tb« Mississippi in 1845. When boats were first built tbe pilot house was placed on the hurricane deck. Finally, in tbe above mentioned year, tbe pilot house was placed op higher, and underneath it was made a room or two, with about six or eight berths in it When a tough passenger came on board and bad sufficient money to pay bis cabin fare, the clerk, not wishing to put him among the cabin passengers, gave bim a bunk in this little cabin, and sometimes it would be filled with some of the worst roughs in the country. Finally tbe officers of tbe boat, owing to the toughness of the room, christened it Texas, after tbe state of Texas, which at that time was noted for its wild cowboys, robbers and the tike. Boats of late years, and especially tbe large ones, are built with a full length texas, which is occupied by the officers and crew* %tSS

Great Armies.

The imperial army of Germany, including the Landsturm and the one year volunteers, would make a war strength of about 2,650,000, added to which those not trained on account of not being up to tho standard at the time of drilling, tbe total available force of all classes would be 5,070.000. The Russian army on a war footing numbers 2.200,000 and if the militia (uutrained and levied only in time of war) were added, the total available war forces would amount to about 8,200,000. This gives Germany an excess of 2,470,000 over Russia. Therefore the German army is the largest France has a war force of alout 2,600,( 00 at her disposal, and, taking into account the various classes of able bodied

V^nvbf

services have been diijieiised with,

tti&^f-Jil number amounts to 3,75:1,000. This still leaves Germany tho largest The actual standing armies of these countries, however, is much smaller, that of RuMjp being in 1885 reported at 600,000 men leijtf's permanent force is put down at about the same number.

Over all India, and the east generally, tho uatives lose no opportunity of asking for "backshish." The usage is such a complete nuisance that the word is sometimes answered by a blow this is termed "bamboo buckshish." Bucksbish has taken up a very firm residence in Euro|«—niuy, in fact, on a much larger scale than that of Asia, be said to have always had au existence there. Bucksbish is a very important item in tho revenues of officials who hold positions of considerable importance, as well as in those of their humbler brethren. During the recent visit of the shah of Persia to England that potentate discovered that "bucksbish" was by no means peculiar to the. east

Small Gold Pleees.

For several years gold half dollars and quarter dollars were issued in Ban Francisco, on private accouut. The real value of the half dollar was 40 cents mid that of the quarters 2 cents. They are not now in circular linn and the value of any that nre to be loiind now must be determined by the desire io obtain them for collections. Ac ordiug to the last annual report of the United States mint director it npiietus that in the Philadelphia mint there were executed (1880) 0,010 one dallur gold pieces. *•_

Man by the Animals—A Chapter iu the History of the Old Deartwood Mail

Coaeb.

There 'are few, if any, of onr young folk who liavc not heard about "B&ffalo Bill" and his Wild West show that illustrates life on the western frontier, with its Indians and cowboys, its buffalo buting, etc. (Buffalo Bill's true name is W. F. Cody.) Mr. Cody figured conspicuously in the United States army during tlte war, and has been a member of congress. Ho led for many years a most adventurous life, during which time, among other positions occupied, was that of guide to many expedit'ous. Mr. Cody gained his sobriquet of "Buffalo Bill" from tbe fact that he provided buffalo meat for the workmen of the Union Pacific railway, bringing down with his own rifle an innumerable number of animuU.

OU DKADWOOD MAIL COACH. Our illustration presents a relic of those rough days in the shape of a heavy, lumbering coach, which ttsed to convey the miners from Dead wood, Colo. This coach has been one of the features in the Wild West show, (Mth in America and England, but as it was in tbe old days often shattered by robbers and has been repaired many times, it is quite probable that comparatively little of the original vehicle remains. It is told that some 'orty years for more a^ro, Brigbam Young rode in this stage when lie went prospecting for the promised land of the Mormons.

Origin of the Kxelamatlon "Hurriitit" There are few words in use that boast of such a remote and widely extended prevalence as the exclamation "HurrahI" It is one of those interjections in which sound so echoes sense that men seem to have adopted itajmost instinctively. In India and Ceylon the mabouts anil attendants of baggage elephants cheer tliem on by ierpetual repetitious of "Ur-re-ro!" The Arabs and camel drivers in Turkey, Palestine and Egypt encourage their animals to speed by shouting "Ar-re ar-rel" The Moots in Spain drive their mules and horses wi.li cries of "Ar re!" In France the sportsman excites the hounds by his shouts of ''Ilare! Hare!'' and wugouers turn their horses by crying "Har-haut!" Tbo herdsmen of Irelaud and Scotland shout "Hurrish! Hurrish!" to tbo cattle they are driving. It is evidently au exclamation common to many nations, aud is probably a comiption of "Tur aire" (Tbor aid), a battle cry of the ancient Norsemen, though some authorities derive it from the Jewish "llKMumahl" Tbe word is very often, and was formerly invariably, spelled 'huzsah," and its pronunciation was "hurray.:"

The Spider and the Wasp.

A small garden spider bad spun his web in a corner where a perpendicular column and a horiaontal rail met, and from the ambuish of a hiiMen tfrack awaited his prey. "jt hiSutsome yellow wasp passing that way espied tbe graceful trap and made for it Setting his feet lightly on two or three of the meshes, he started up a great bussing, whifh shook the web from cud to end. The watchful spider ran out a littlo way, stretched forth a delicate foot to tnako sure of the location of tho supposed fly, aud then rushed for it, alighting on the wasp with a gleeful jump and no doubt a griu of hideous triumph. But Mr. Spider had reckoned without bis host Like a flash of lightning tho wasp's six nimble legs closed upon him, tbo graceful body bent nearly double, and' once, twice, thrice, again and again, the sharp sting pierced tho luckless spider. 'As his struggles grew fainter and Anally jqfNUfeflL tbe wasp, with a spring, disentangled'himself from the silken net, aud bore away his spidery victim in triumph.

Ventriloquists Among Animals. Many birds form their sounds^ explains Golden Days, without opening, their bills. The pigeon is a well known instance of this. Its cooing can lie distinctly lizard although it does not open its biil. The call Is formed internally in the throat and chest, and is only rendered audi tile by resonance. Similar ways may bo observed iu many birds and other animals. The clear, loud call of tbe cuckoo, accordiug to Nicolardot, is the resonance of a note formed in tho bird. Tbe whirring of the snipe, which betrays tbo approach of the bird to the hunter, is an act of ventriloquism. Tbe frog also is said not to open bis'mouth in croaking, bnt to create his far reaching soends by the rolling of air in his intestines. Even the nightingale has certain notes which are produced internally, and which are audible while the bill is closed. So even the art of ventriloquism (if wo may call It an art), but which in former times was highly esteemed, has been taught to man by the animals. *. Tbe Unlucky Left Foot.

Tbe saying, "You got out of bed tbe wrong foot foremost,*' or with tbe left leg foremost, can be traced back 3,000 years, and originated precisely where tbe picture given by Christ of tbe judgment day came from.- The right foot was associated ill all antiquity with good luck- and tbe left with bad fortune. Hence to put the left leg oat of bed first was a bad sign. ________

on tha Complexion,

Vegetable Kemedlea.

In the learned papers read at the recent International Moil leal congress be'ore the most eminent physicians of this and other countries were many items of interest to the onprofessional mint! also. Dr. Gibbon, U. S. N., statod that the diseases which are trrly climatic aro rare raid u-nlaria is not ono oi tbeni local unsanitary conditions cause more disense-tkan docs climate. For example, the death rate of tho Italian criny has been i-o duced ono third by tho drainage of lUo Boman marshes.

Dr. Marston, of England, was of the opinion that while malaria might in some instances be traced to an impure water supply, yet the influence of freshly disturbed soil was a great cause of it

In considering tbe treatment of hay fever, Dr. Thomas, of Baltimore, thought that cocaine, though it gives temporary relief, endangers tbo tissues when persistently used.

Dr. Welsh excludes, from exjiericnce in 101 cases, that Vaccination during the iucubatiou period of smallpox will either pi-event tho attack or so mitigate its force as to imure the recovery of the patient

In the opinion of Dr. Lester, pneumonia is au infectious disease, and is inflnenced by malaria and unsanitary surroundings.

To patients seekiug recovery by entire change, Dr. Parker makes the novel suggestion of a wagon trip across tbe plains as a substitute for staying at health resorts.

The Se~eret of a Good Coinptcxloti, A French savant discourse* upon good and bad complexions as follows: The woman who would have a good complexion must live plainly, avoidiug too much game, rich meats, highly seasoned made dishes un.l rich wines. Why is it that fine complexions are so rare among the aristocracy and wealtay classes? Tbe aristocracy have frequently fine features, but tha complexion is apt to be very coarse or very sallow and faded. Why! Simply because they sit up late and get up late, thus losing tbe health giving morning air they feed too richly, dress too fashionably, swathing themselves in furs at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and having next to no clothing on the upper part of the body at 13 p. m., and yet experts tell us that the skin to remain pure and soft must not lie exposed to sudden changes, to extremes of heat and cold, must not have its healthy perspiration suddenly checked. Who can wonder that the qnie er women of the middle classes possess the best complexions? One seeks it in vain among fashiouable folk over 17 years of age. for generations of spoiled complexions are generating radically coarse or dry skins, which lose all beauty after infancy.

Device for Moving lok Person in Bed. Dr. E. P. Roche has described valuable arrangement for changing the position of a sick person in bed, when the nurse is uot strong or safo and car-v movement is necessary for the patient. Fasten smoothly to tho mattress with strong safety pins a rubber blunket.or piece of enameled cloth, rubber or enameled side up. Upon this place a similar rubber or enameled cloth, if (mssible, somewhat wider, so as to keep the under one always covered Bo-ween tho rubber or enamel&i surfaces sprinkle soapstone powder, kept by sboo dealei's, or glove powder. Cover with a sheet and make np tho bed as usual. Now, by grasping tho edge of the under sheet, and of the upier enameled cloth at the same time, it will be found-easy to roll over or move a person with slight effort and little pain to tho patient. If the device prove too slippery, fasten to tbo bedding with a few strong pins.

Vegetable Kemedles.

Almost every vegetable has a specific effect Celery is a sedative to the nerves, with a favorahlh action on neurahgia and rheumatism. Spinach is believed to act as a stimulant on the kidney*. Asparagus is an admirable blood cleanser. To tomatoes is attributed a special action on the stomach and liver Lettnce and cucumlier*, with tlio acid used iu dressing them, ore cooling during tho summer. Peas and beans are strengthening in a high degree. Beets and turnips are also said to have a tonic action. Dandelion is a tonic and laxative. Red pepper is serviceable iu chronic constipation, aud some forms of hemorrhoids, in chronic sore throat and many forms of hoarseness. And it is now claimed that garlic has been administered iu hydrophobia with good remits.

Hammock for a Slrlc Hed. ?. According to a hospital physician there is' no bed so good for the patient in cases of long illness as the hammock. He recommends the hammock not only because of its undeniable *anitary excellence but because of all places of rest, all couches or

ImkIs,

he believes it to

conform best to tbo various curves and outlines of the human form. For bedridden people this doctor considers it invaluable.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Timely Hints In Regard to the Latest New York Custom at Weddings. Tbe season of fall weddings makes timely few points in regard to £he latest customs •connected with these events^

The "best man" or attendant of the bridegroom at a wedding is usually his brother or intimate friend. If it be a church wedding after the English fashion, he accompanies tbe groom as he comes from the vestry and stands at bis right at tbo altar. If it be a house wedding be enters the room with the groom and remainsat his right during the ceremony. A "maid of honor" corresponds to a "best man." She precedes tbe bride and walks alone following the other bridesmaids

Instead of selecting a retinue of young gentlemen equal In number to tl»e mails who attend the bride, the bridegroom of today generally adopts the convenient English custom of choosing the one friend known as "best man" to attend bim through the ceremony and also to arrange various little fondness and social formalities connected with tbe event for him.

Usben are selected by tbe bride and one of them is appointed master of cer*monies Tbe ushers seat guests as tbey arrive, offering tbo right arm to a lady and conducting her to a aeat Usually tbey walk in palm in front of tbe bride and ber attendants in tbe proceasfcm to lie altar and arrange themselves at tbe right of the waiting groom aud best man.

Polished Coaversattofi.

Tbere is no society without interchange of thought, and since the best society is that in which tiw best tbooghts are interchanged in the best and most comprehensible manner, it follows that a proper mode of expressing our•etves is indispensable in good society.

The commonest, thought wed put is more oaefnl in social point of view than tbe most lrflliant idea jumbled out. What is well ex pniwul is easily seised and therefore easily nnpooded to the most poetic fancy may be lost if tbe language is obecuie. He has bat a poor appreciation of bis privilege as a boman being who neglects to cultivate the great gift of speech. "If yoa speak tha asnse of an angel in bad words and with a disagreeable utterance, nobody will hear yoa twice who tsn help it," said Chesterfield, the most polished aowttar otUstfaMi ..

Queer Game of Raseball.

-Up in Dakota last week," said a commercial traveler, "I saw the queerest game of baseball that was ever played. All the players wero blind yes, sir, as blind as eyeless bats. Of course you don't believe it. I didn't believe- it either, till I saw *em play. How did they do itf Just like any other players, with tbe exception that they used a ball specially prepared for the occasion. Through this baseball there was a hole, and i:i tbo hole there was a little concern like that which you seo in a harmonica. On the home plate was a little bell, which the umpire rang by pulling a string just before tho pitcher fired a ball. Judging on the position of tbe base by the sound of the bell, the pitcher put the ball right where it ought to be. "As the ball sailed toward the batsman tha air rushing through the hole in it played a little tune, and it was by this sound that the batsman made his strike. It was tbe same with the fielders. Wherever the ball weut it was singing its little tune, and this sound was all the player bad to judge by. Handle tbe ball! Well, I should say they could. They played a fine game, and I tell you that the music of the bail whizzing and soaring about the field, aud those blind fellows catching and throwing it just as if they could see. made a scene never to be forgotten. The members of these blind nines were all inmates of a Dakota Bliud asylum, but if they can make proper arrangements they are going on tho road as au exhibition. They'll draw immense crowds, too."—Chicago Mail.

Something Concerning Ears. I know' a clever financier who says ho' always reads it man's and woman's character by their ears. Time is to provo if some of hir, deductions are true, but since his theory has been explained to me, I am looking at all tho oars coming within my range of vision. Never before did I think these outward signs of invisible sense were an interesting study. But they are—far more so than hands or phrenological bumps. Small, shapely, pretty ears are, of course, in a minority, but nature shows mich remarkable capacity in varying ber original design that you tnust pardon her for occasionally turning out some rather grotesque specimens. "How ore his ears?" murmured a j)alc young mother when her first born was laid beside her. And this was the same particular parent who, when the child was older, had him wear at night a tiny cap to correct the wing-like cars he had inherited from his grandfather. This gentle hint was taken in good part by Dame Nature, for the boy's handsome bead is not disfigured, as he irreverently terms the ancestral excrescences by "gig lamps.'' Few mothers ever think of thus improving their children physically, but it would lie an excellent scheme if they did. It is not so much the size of tho outer ear as its relation to tho other features that makes or mars pen-onal appearance. Ears that protrude can always be rectified in youth when flesh and gristle are pliant, and one of these days, when mankind determines to be wholly beautiful, art and science will be invoked to aid in improving baby misfits and remodeling maturer monstrosities,—Boston Herald. ______________

Peculiar Disease of Horses^ An exchange says: "Mules aud horses in tbe far west frequently die of a peculiar trouble The beard of wild oats or barley becomes fixed in the animal's jaw, encysts aud grows there, assisted by the tartar of the teeth. A calcareous formation of this sort, oval in shape and weighing a pound, was recently taken from the mouth of au Oregon horse."

The carpets may be kept much fresher If, occasionally, on general sweeping day, they be well sprinkled with corn meal and salt before beginning to ply that woman's weapon tbe brooiri.

Blood Will Tell. -a

There is no question about it—blood will tell—especially if it be an impure blood. Biotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to propoirly perform its function of purifying and cleaning the blood, impurities are carried to all parts of the system, and the symptoms above referred to are merely evidences of the struggle of Nature to throw off the poisonious germs. Unless her warning be heeded in time, serious results are certain to follow, culminating in liver or kidney disorders, or even in consumption. Dr. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery will prevent and cure these diseases, by restoring the liver to a healthy condition.

No Universal Remedy

fits yet been discovered but, as at least four-fifths of human diseases have their source in Impure Blood, a medicine which restores that fluid from a depraved to a healthy condition comes as uear lieiug a universal cure as any that can be produced. Ayer's Sarsaparllla affects tbo blood in each stage of its formation, and is, therefore, adapted to a greater variety of complaints than any other known medicine.

Boils and Carbuncles,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Karsaparilla aiier a comparatively brief trial.

Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville, Va., writes that for years he was afflicted with boils which caused him much suffering. These Mere succeeded by carbuncles, of which lie had several at one time. lie then began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparllla, and after taking three liottles, the carbuncles disappeared, and for six years he has not bad even a pimple.

That imrfdions disease, Scrofula, is tbe fruitful cause of innumerable complaints, Consumption U-iug only one of many eqnally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyes, glandular swellings, moak and wasted muscles, a capricious appetite, and the like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous taint in the system. Many otherwise beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing the need at Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy tbe evil.

All sufferers from blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial,—avoiding all powders, ointments, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, which not only foil to effect a core, but more frequently aggravate and confirm tbe diseases tbey are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

Beware of Scrofula

Scrofula is probably more general than any other disease. It is insidious in character, and manifests itself in running sores, pustular eruptions, bolls, swellings, enlarged joints, abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood's Sarsaparllla expels all trace of scrofula from tho blood, leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy.

I was severely afflicted with scrofula, and over a year had two running sores on my neck. Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparilla, and am. cured." C. E. Lovsjor, Lowell, Mass. a A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous sores for seven years, spring and fall. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured him. .V

William Spies, Elyrla, O., suffered greatly from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by handling tobacco. At times his hands would crack open and bleed. He tried various preparations without aid finally took Hood's Sarsaparllla, and now says:"
