An Olympian Joke.
It was a bright afternoon and the im
mortals were sitting on high Olympus
watching the cremation of some insane
American who thought there wasn't
land enough on this continent to bury
him in, when the blue-eyed maid re
marked: "Mars."
The colonel hastily folded up his map
of the lava beds and slipped it in his
pockets.
"Speak, Minerva; the class is up. Go
ahead with the oral."
"When they put a man into the crema
tory or the retopt, or whatever they call
it, what figure of expression does it re
mind you of?"
The colonel scratched his greaved
shin (now don't ask us what it was
greaved about, or we'll tell yon it was
greaved about to the knee, for we are in
no humor for nonsense) and presently
he said he wasn't much of a scholar on
raw grammar, but he believed it was a
kind of an erysipelas; something left out
you know.
"Well," said the goddess, "but what
is left out?" ;,..
The colonel hesitated a moment, and
said he hadn't considered in regards of
that, and Hermes remarked that it was
probably an intepolation, because the
man was put in.
Yulcan, who happened along with a
new hinge for the front gate, asked if
it wasn't hotology.
Juno didn't think it could be tautol
ogy, because it wasn't always the same
man; indeed, it never was the same man.
"It's the same man this time, isn't it!"
asked her husband, cautiously throwing
up his elbow to the level with his head.
Ganymede, the barkeeper, said he
thought it was a hyperbole, because it
was awfully extravagant; $35 per man at
the Washington, Pennsylvania, crema
tory was the regular charge for every
barbacue.
Saturn, who came up this afternoon, it
being Friday, with a string of fish, said
he thought it was synedoche, but, on be
ing asked what synedoche was, frankly
confessed that he didn't know and went
down three.
Apollo thought it was a bit of trochaio
metre because the man was in his coffin.
It took the immortals a long time to
catch on to this, and then Jupiter re
marked that they weren t running a col
lege pharmacy up there.
"No, said his amiable married sister;
"no, pharmacy's sake don't talk doctor
shop. What do you think it is, Minerva?'
The blue-eyed goddess turned down
her place in Emerson, adjusted her eye
glasses and said, with great precision:
"Why, the retort scorches; does not it
strike you that way?"
But, after a moment of silence, the
colonel said he wasn't up to this new f an
gled pronunciation very well, and the
immortal Jove called to Ganymede to
bring him a "light one," at the same time
holding up all the fingers on one hand
behind his wife's head.
Laughed all the gods; the heavens with laugh
ter broke.
And wise Minerva thought 'twas at her joke.

Rules for Common Calculation.
To square any number of nines, write
as many lines, less one, as there are in
the number to be squared; then annex
an eight, as many ciphers as nines, and a
one.
To square any number ending in five,
cut off the five, multiply the number as
it then stands by the next higher num
ber, and annex twenty-five to the
product. That is to multiply five and
one-half by itself, or five and five-tenths
decimally multiply five by six, which
is thirty, and annex twenty-five, which
would be thirty and one fourth, or 30.25.
'To multiply any number of two
figures by eleven, add the numbers
crosswise and place the result between
them; that is, to illustrate, forty-five
multiplied by eleven; add the number
four and five nine, set the nine between
the four and five, making four hundred
and ninety-five. Should the number
make ten or more, carry out to the left,
as in addition, and set the difference be
tween them.
To find the interest at any per cent for
any number of days, write the princpal,
the number of days and the rate per
cent on the right of a line, write thirty
on the opposite side and cancel. If you
want it for months, write twelve instead
of thirty. Another rule is to multiply
one-twelfth of the principal by one
third of the days.
A Feast in Morocco. We seated our'
elves, and were served at once. Twenty-eight
dishes, without counting the
sweets! Twenty-eight immense dishes,
every one of which would have been
enough for twenty people, of all forms,
odors and flavors ; monstrous pieces of
mutton on the spit, chickens (with po
matum), game (with cold cream), fish
(with cosmetics) , livers puddings, vege
tables, eggs, salads, all with the same
dreadful combinations, suggestive of the
barber's shop; sweetmeats, every mouth
ful .of which was enough to purge a
man of any crime he had ever committed ;
and with all this large glasses of water.
into which we squeezed lemons that we
had brought in our pockets; then a oup
of tea, sweetened to syrup; and finally,
an irruption of servants, who deluged
the tables, the walk , and ourselves, with
rose water. Morocco de Amieis.
A Tough Quest ion. Children are often
puzzled by questions which are not un
derstood by their elders. During the late
Franco-Prussian war a Sunday-school
scholar read about the prayers with which
the Germans and French were petition
ing Heaven for success te their arms.
"Mother," asked a little girl of her par
ent, "I don't see what the Lord aan do
under the circumstances, do you ? He
can't give the victory to both of them, and
it seems to me like a terrible dilemma to
be placed in." Her mother, who was not
entirely satisfied with the role which
Great Britain played in the affair, re
marked, "Well, my dear child, perhaps he
will do as the English do, and remain
neutral."
Rheumatism.
Common rheumatism is a disease which
affects the joints, the hinges of the body,
in such a way that the slightest motion
of the ailing part gives pain.' A creaking
hinge is dry, and turns hard. A single
drop of oil to moisten it makes a wonder
ful change, and it instantly moves on
itself with the utmost facility. All kinds
of rheumatism are an inflammation of the
surface of the joints. Inflammation is
beat; this heat dries the surfaces ; hence
the very slightest effort at motion gives
a piercing pain. In a healthy condition
of the parts, nature is constantly throwing
out a lubricating oil which keeps the
joints in a perfectly smooth and easy
working condition. Rheumatism is
almost always caused by indeed, it may
be nearer the truth to say, that it is
always the result of cold dampness. A
dry cold, or a warm dampness, does not
induce rheumatism. A garment, wetted
by perspiration or rain, or water in any
form about a joint, and allowed to dry
while the person is in a state of rest, is the
most common way of causing the rheu
matism. A partial wetting of a garment
is more apt to induce an attack than if the
entire clothing were wetted, because, in
the latter case, it would be certainly and
speedily exchanged for dry garments.
There are two very certain methods of
preventing rheumatism. The very mo
ment a garment is wetted in whole or
part, change it, or keep in motion suffi
cient to maintain a very slight perspira
tion, until the clothing fts oerfectly dried.
The failure to wear woolen flannel next
to the skin is the most frequent cause of
rheumatism ; for a common muslin or
silk shirt of a person in a perspiration be
comes damp and cold the instant a puff of
air strikes it, even in mid-summer. This is
not the case where woolen flannel is
worn next the skin. The easiest, most
certain and least hurtful way of curing
this troublesome affection is, first, to keep
the joint affected wound around with sev
eral folds of woolen flannel ; live en
tirely on the lightest kind of food, such as
coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries, boiled
turnips, stewed apples and the like. If
such things were eaten to the extent of
keeping the system freely open, and exer
cise were taken, so that a slight moisture
should be on the surface of the skin all
the time; or if in bed, the same were ac
complished by hot teas and plentiful bed
clothing, a greatful relief, and an ultimate
cure will very certainly result in a reason
ably short time. Without this soft and
moist and warm condition of the skin,
and an open state of the system, the dis
ease will continue to torture for weeks
and months and years. Inflammatory
rheumatism may, for all practical purpos
es, be regarded as an aggravated form of
the common kind, extended to all the
joints of the body, instead of implicating
only one or two. tor all Kinds, time,
flannel, warmth, with a light and cooling
diet, are the great remedies. Hall's Jour -nal
of Health.
A Bbitish Opinion op Longstbebt.
Naturally a man of no intellectual bright
ness, and wholly devoid of book-learning,
Gen. Longstreet possessed the rare
faculty of thinking calmly and correctly
when under fire, and at moments orthvn
ger, when the minds of abler men than
himself were unstrung and thrown off
their balance by excitement. Stolid of
demeanor, slow and guarded of speech
when in camp or engaged in the ordi
nary pursuits of peaceful life, Gen.
Longstreet was altogether another man
when the battle-flag went to the front,
and the air was alive with bullets and
rent with a hailstorm of shot and shell.
It may be doubted whether there is liv
ing at this moment another soldier who
has passed through a more fiery ordeal
than the able and stanch lieutenant of
Gen. Lee. He has been sneered at
unworthily, in our opinion by the late
Gen. Richard Taylor, in his "Beconstruc
tion and Destruction," and by the name
sake of the latter, Gen. Walter Taylor,
the Adjutant General of the army of
Northern Virginia, in his "Four Years
with General Lee." Nevertheless, the
fact remains that no braver and stouter
soldier ever marshaled his division and
led it right onward against the foe than
the Minister whom subject to confirma
tion by the Senate President Hayes is
about to send to Turkey as representa
tive of the United States. London Tel
egraph. Exiling the Privileged Classes. In
St. Petersburg more than six hundred
persona of the noble or privileged classes
are under arrest to be deported to Sibe
ria without trial. In one of the tempo
rary Governor Generalships in the south
of the empire (Odessa) sixty privileged
persons have already been sent to Sibe
ria without trial, and two hundred per
sons of this class are under arrest to be
judged. So great is the number of per
sons of this category to be exiled, that a
practical difficulty is said to have arisen
in connection with their deportation. A
noble or privileged person who has not
been judicially sentenced, when sent to
Siberia, by the orders of the Third Sec
tion, or Secret Police, must be escorted
by two gendarmes, it being against the
laws to manacle a privileged person who
is unoondemned. It appears that there
are not gendarmes enough thus to escort
the number of persons to be deported,
and the Ministry of Secret Police has
proposed to get rid of this difficulty by
sending the privileged persons fettered
like ordinary criminals. On the other
hand the officials are opposed to any such
course.
Loving a Whole Family.
Expense op Living in Gebmajtx.
The cost of living in Germany has ad
vanced at a very rapid rate during the
past ten years. An instance of this is
found in the averace expenses of the
young men who attend the courses of
lectures. at the Heidelberg University;
for their number is so large and their
condition so varied thai they form a fair
index of the nation. In 1871 the aver
age yearly expenses of these students
were but a trifle over $150, while in
1878 the average had increased to more
than $310; that is, it had doubled in
seven years, and during the interval the
gain had been an almost constantly
ascending one. If these are the fruits of
the French war the triumph, was a tern
bly costly one.
"I don't want to make anytrouble, but
there is one man in this city who ought
to- be gibbeted!" began a blunt-spoken
woman of forty-five as she stood before
the omcials of the Twentieth Street Sta
tion a day or two ago.
When they inquired for particulars
she handed out a letter and said:
"Observe the envelope. That letter is
addressed to me. You will see that the
writer calls me his jessamine, and he
wants me to set an early day for the wedding."
When the captain had hnisned the let
ter she was ready with another, adding:
And this is addressed to my daughter
Lucretia. You will see that he calls her
his rosy angel, and he says he can't live
if she doesn't marry him. It's the same
man."
So it was, and his letter was as tender
as spring chicken. That finished, she
handed out a third, with the remark:
"This is directed to my daughter
Helen. It's the very same man, and in
it he calls her his pansy, and he says he
dreams of her."
"Why, he seemed to love the whole
family, remarked the captain.
"That s just it. J. m a widow with two
daughters, and he was courting us all at
once and engaged to the three of us at
the same time. Oh! what wretches there
are in the world."
"Yes, indeed. It's lucky you found
him out."
"Yes, it is. If I hadn't he might have
married the whole caboodle of us. If
Lucretia hadn't opened one of my let
ters, and if I hadn't searched the girls'
Sockets while they were asleep, we'd
ave thought him an innocent lamb."
"And do you want him arrestedr
"No, I guess not, but I want this mat
ter to go into the papers as a warning to
other women. Just think of his sitting
up with me Saturday night, Lucretia on
Wednesday night and Helen on Friday
night, and calling each of us his climb
ing rose! Oh! sir, the women ought to
know what a deceiving animal man is!"
"Yes, he is pretty tough.
"It has learned me a lesson," she said
as she was ready to go." The next man
that comes sparking around my house
has got to come right out and say which
he's after. If it's the girls I won't say
nothing, and if it's me it won't do 'em a
bit of good to slam things around and
twit me of burying two husbands!" De
troit Free Press.
Liszt's Playing.
An American lady whose sister is
taking lessons with Liszt, the world -
renowned pianist, describes his playing.
She says:
I hinted to her that she should as
Liszt to play. She must have been as
tonished at my presumption, but never
theless she asked him, and I guess he was
none the less astonished.
At first he did not understand, and
asked, "You play something more to
me?"
"No; you plav something more to me,
will you not? Something of your own,
please."
He laughed good-humorediy, ana sat
down on a stool, saying, "I cannot do
anything now." Then he exclaimed,
"Ufa, this stool is too low! ana rose
again.
Florence ran and placed the cnair sne
had used for him, and he sat down and
began. We came forward and listened
throughout without stirring almost
without breathing, it seemed.
It was a dreamy, melancholly strain,
with a rapid, running bass, very sweet,
and played excessively pianissimo ine
wonderful tone he was so celebrated for.
Except for this there was nothing very
extraordinary in his playing.
He used both pedads continually, and
but once came down with the forte pass
age. While he was playing, his face was
set and rather sad-looking, and now and
then he raised his eyes to my face with
out changing the expression.
Instead of feeling excited at so great
an honor being accorded us, it seemed to
have a chilling effect; and when he rose
and came toward us, and we warmly
thanked him, he was less calm than we
were, for he seemed saddened and
nervous.
He looked at his fingers and said,
"Ah, these are invalids; I can do noth
ing with them now. I am an old man
ah, yes, a very old man."
I took his hands, and he looked
pleased as we admired them. He must
really have been amused at us simple
little girls. I would have liked to kiss
them, but I feared the after ridicule of
my less demonstrative sister; so I let
them drop.

Definition op Poetry. Poetry is the
product of earnest thought. Thought
cherished in the mind becomes earnest ;
then expressed in words it becomes poet
ry. The ieelings move inwardly, and are
embodied in words. When words are in
sufficient for them, recourse is had to the
prolonged utterance of song. When this,
again, is insufficient, unconsciously the
bands begin to move, and the feet to
dance. To set forth correctly the successes
and failures (of government) to affect
heaven 'and earth, and to move spiritual
beings, there is no readier instrument
, than poetry. Sacred Boohs of China.

A new planet of the eleventh magnitude
has been recently discovered by Palissy,
at Pola.
Arsenic may be discovered by its smell;
when placed near the fire it emits an odor

The remains of a large swimming and
flying bird, exhumed from the London
clay near Sheppy, were recently described
before the Geological Society of London
It evidently belonged to the genus al
batross, but was considerably larger.
It is now maintained bv some scientists
of repute that the same poison gives rise
to tiie several diseases known as scarle
tina, puerperal fever, typhoid, dyptheria,
ervsipelas, etc., varying in its results ac
cording to the surroundings and constitu
tion ot the patient.
Dr. Bollinger says that the milk of cows
suffering from tubercular disease will
communicate that effection to human be
ings. Boiling will not destroy the pro
pagating power. He also makes the
alarming statement that five per cent, of
old cows have tubercular disease.
The ocean, especially near and within
the tropics, swarm with life. The remains
of its my raids of moving things are con
veyed by currents, and scattered and
lodged, in the course of time, all over the
bottom. This process, continued forages,
has covered the depths of the ocean as
with a mantle, consisting of organisms as
delicate as hoar-irost, and as light in
tne water as down is in the air.
The sizes of crystals are as various as the
substances of which they are formed,some
being too small to be recognized, except
under a microscope, while there is one at
Milan weighing nearly nine hundred
pounds. Examples of the system are
found in a hundred different chemicals.
The White Mountains of New Hampshire
are a vast aggregation of crystals. The
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky is an enor
mous museum of crystals. Yet the
science of crystal ization is a sealed book,
awaiting the skill and perseverance of the
patient experimenter and explorer.
Nothing can be more surprising and
beautiful than the singular clearness of
the water of the northern seas. As we
passed slowly over the surface, the bot
tom, which was here in general of white
sand, was clearly visible from twenty to
twenty-five fathoms. During the whole
course of the tour I made, nothing
appeared to me so extraordinary as the
immense recesses of the ocean, unruffled
by the slightest breeze, the gentle splash
ing of the oars scarcely disturbing it.
Where the bottom was sandy, the differ
ent kinds of esterise, echmi, and even the
smallest shells, appeared at the greatest
depth conspicuous to the eye; and the
water seemed, in some measure, to have
a magnifying power, by enlarging the ob
jects like' a telescope, and bringing them
seemingly nearer. Though moving on a
level surface, it seemed almost as if we
were ascending the height under us, and
when we passed over its summit, which
rose in appearance to within a few feet
of our boat, and came again to the de
scent, which on this side was suddenly
perpendicular, and overlooking a watery
gulf as we passed gently over the point
of it, seemed almost as if we had thrown
ourselves down this precipice; the illu
sion, from the clearness of the deep, pro
ducing a sudden start. Records of the

A Lipe Saving Yessel. Away down
East a novel craft has been invented by
a clergyman for the preservation of life
at sea. It is a floating vessel in the shape
of an inverted balloon, which is entirely
covered, the entrance being by a man
hole in the upper part, reached from a
platform wholly surrounding the vessel,
and from which small iron ladders drop
down to the water. Inside, .arranged
around the widest part, are seats and
berths, and under the covered bottom is
space for provisions. Ventilation is pro
vided for by an ingenius device. The
boat is adapted for shoal or deep water
by a ballast weight which is raised or
lowered from within. It is furnished
with a keel and rudder. Its peculiar
feature is its method of motion. This is
automatic. It is obtained by wave or air
wheels attached to shafts which are con
nected with a small propeller. The prin
ciple of the wheels is that whatever way
the wind blows or the waves move, the
motion is always in the same direction
and under control of the rudder. The
boat can be made of metal, and the size
regulated by the needs of the vessel to
which it belongs. It is proof against
fire, always rides vertically, is easily
dropped from the ship, and oan be han -

Catalani and Jenny Lind. Catalani
and Jenny Lind only met once. Cata
lani fled from Florence in 1848 to escape
the cholera and took refuge in Paris,
where she heard Jenny Lind at a concert
given by Lord Nord Normandy. Some
days after the entertainment she was sit
ting alone when a strange lady called on
her. The visitor refused to give her
name, but was ushered into the room.
Catalani rose, and the stranger advanced
timidly. She was young, not handsome,
but with an expressive face, over which
played a most agreeable smile. "I am
Jenny Lind, madam," she said after a
little preliminary dialogue, "I am
come for your blessing." It was given.
They never met again. Catalani died
shortly after of cholera. Forney's
Progress.
He was bald-headed, he had colossal
feet, his ulster was apart, and there was
a hazy look, like to a rcackerel sky, in
his blue eye. He was braced up in a
corner of the saloon, and he regarded
everybody who came in with an imbecile
smile. "S-say," he gasped, catching at
a lead-pencil speculator who was vend
ing pencils at two for five cents, "why'm
I melancholy?" The riddle was too
much for the lead-pencil speculator's
mind. He gasped for breath. "Be
