Here's a Minuce Itir Hniiicllitng New In the rieulo I.lno. There were thirty guests nt this novel picnic, says the New York Recorder, unci tho invitations were written on squares of birch baric Each one added to the dress some birch baric decora tion; belts, collars, eulTs tmd bracelets, stitched witlli colored silk, were among the many articles worn, and one girl had a hat of birch bark which was ex ceedingly pretty. The table was laid with a white cloth, but there was a central square of silvery birch bark, nnil a smaller one ut each end. All the viands were served upon dishes of birch baric. Some of these were carefully made and sewed witlv bright-colored sillcs. The plates wi re all of baric and were bordered wit li narrow ribbons. Cannes prettily made held (lowers and fruits, and at each corner a baric basket was placed filled with ferns and grasses. There was n souvenir for each guest of birch bark made up in some pretty fashion, cigar unci letter eases for the men, napkin rings, needle books, etc., for the women. During the afternoon sonic musicians made their appearance and there wns a dance in the woods, prolonged until nightfall. A COLT WITH HORNS. Ueorela J'rovliies u l nli)iie Curd for the Dime Museum. Scriven county, Cm., has a genuine curiosity in the form of a colt which carries a pair of unmistakable horns on Ins head, lie is now. savs the Xow York Journal, nearly a year old and in "nbtoiie that now marks the last rest no way remarkable save for the horns, l"K place of the old maid in a cemetery which have gro vn with him until they ure nearly a foot in length ami as hand some a pair as any cow ever carried. The animal Is the property, or was un til recently, of a farmer named Kava naugh, who lias sold it to an agent of a dune museum ill Iloston. Kavanaugh says the colt came of par ents differing in no way from their kind, and can only account for the pe culiarity by the fact that the colt's mother was severely gored by a savage cow a few days before he was foaled, The animal has never attempted to use his horns, and, it is said, seems nut to know that he possesses any such adorn ment or weapon. The other animals with which he is stabled and pastured, however, appear to recognize that there is something abnormal about him, and are unauimous in giving him a wide berth, even threatening him with hoof and horu when he ventures too uoui them.

She rather gloried in it, according to a writer in the Kingston l'reeman. Often in conversation regarding the beneflta and evils in matrimony, she was heard to say: "It is risky at all events. I am free and comfortable, and intend to re main so." As she wus comely, bIio had admirers who had offered to her their hands, hearts and fortunes, so she remained an old maid from inclination and not as some malicious women were heard to say "because she couldn't help herself." She was true to her princi ples to the last. When on her bed, dur ing her last sickness, she sent for a dealer in marble and gave him direc tions regarding the tombstone to be placed over her grave. Her orders were implicit, and after her death they were carried out conscientiously; and the ""l miul.V miles from this city overlook ing a beautiful country village, contains after the name, date of birth and death, the following terse but most emphatic Inscription: strenniu and Health.

Every boy in this country who has s spark of ambition expects to earn his living as a man, and therefore requires a business education, says Golden Day. In this branch nothing is more essen tial than a knowledge of money mat ters, and the most important of these relates to the legal validity of a nego tiable draft, Dote or check. There are five essential elements which must be classed as follows: 1. It must be payable in money that is, gold, silver or greenbacks, possibly also in United States currency, not in any kind of merchandise. Thus a note "payable in one hundred calves" has Veen decided to be invalid. 2. It must be payable without any contingency or uncertainty. A note promising to pay "one thousand dollars out of the proceeds of ore to be raised and sold from any mine" is invalid. But a particular friend may be desig nated, as "I promise to pay out of the estate of B., deceased." 8. It must be payable at a certain specified time a time certain to arrive, A note payable to A. B. "when he is twenty-one years of age" is not good, for he may not live to be twenty-one, and so the time is not certain to arrive. But a note payable "on demand" is held to be good, for demand is in the nature of things certain to be made at some time. The owner of such a note would not possess common sense if he never demanded payment. 4. It must be payable to the order of a certain party therein named, or else payable to bearer. Otherwise it is not negotiable, although as a simple written contract it is good as between the maker and the person to whom it is payable. But it is not capable of indorsement unless the words "order" or "bearer appear. 5. The amount payable must be spec ified and certain. A note for one hun dred dollars "with interest" is good, be cause the interest can be calculated and thus certainly ascertained, but a note reading "pay one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars" is not good. AN UNCONSCIOUS TRICK. Hagiclaa Uerrmann Has an Experience with a Ilank Nota. Herrmann, the prestidigitator, is no torious for his fondness for doing tricks in public. He enjoys nothing better than to surprise a crowd with some :lever feat of sleight-of-hand, then dis appear in the crowd. The other day he performed an in voluntary trick one he did not antici pate. He happened to jump on the front of a Broadway car and found he had no small change. He opened his pocketbook to get out a bill, and, in pulling out a note of one dollar denomination, also pulled out a one hundred dollar bill that was beneath it. This for a moment fluttered in the wind. The car window was open; it made a quick flip backward, and neatly fell into a lady's hand satchel, which by accident had been left open on her lap. As she was looking out of the window she did not notice the circumstance. Hut Herrmann walked back through the car, inserted his fingers into the lady's bag and drew forth the one hundred dollar bill, pleased and triumphant. The crowd in the car of .course recog nized the magician and set up a howl, thinking it was one of his clever tricks. The lady, however, took the thing in a different spirit. She got very angry and belabored him with her tongue and threatened to call a policeman, and said that she was not there to be made the leughing stock of the public. Herrmann in every way tried to ex plain and satisfy her that he had not selected her as the butt of one of nil practical jokes, but without avail. THE MOON DRAGON. How an Kcllpso of the Moon Is Regarded in Oriental Lands. It is a time-honored belief in Turkey and many other oriental countries that an eclipse of the moon is caused by a huge dragon that, seeks to devour our "silvery sister world," and in making the attempt winds his slimy body about it, thus hiding it from terrestrial ob servers. A writer on the Brandon Ban ner was in Constantinople on the night of August 23, 1S77, the occasion of the great eclipse throughout eastern Eurffpe and western Asia, and was a witness to the peculiar ceremony of "Kakai-mayl-yi," which was calculated to free Luna from her scaly antagonist. There was a general attempt made to frighten the "dragon" by firing muskets and re volvers and by beating upon drums, cymbals, kitchen utensils, etc. As in times past, it was soon found that the moon was beginning to show her face, and congratulations were everywhere heard upon the victory gained. This queer lunar Ruperstition is not confined to any class, but is believed in by the rich and poor, ignorant and educated alike. The lleneflt or Sea Voyafree. I The sanitary effects of a sea voyage are very decided, says the London Lancet. First is the oceun climate. Sea air stimulates the appetite, im proves digestion, assimilation, secre tion and excretion. The glandular fol licles and organs of the alimentary sys tem arc awakened to a high state of functional activity. Relaxed muscular tissue becomes linn, the heart is in vigorated, the circulation is carried on more actively, respiration is deepened, the pure nir inhaled promotes a quick ened oxidation and tissue change, the skin grows soft and blooming, the tone of the nervous system is raised and a cheerful state of mind induced. The traveler gains llesh and strength, sleep is sound, lassitude vanishes aud irritable nerves become firm. The Lonireet Sleep ou Record.

THE TOPE'S GIFT. Fished from tho Bottom of the Potormic Alter Forty Years. One of the Oitle.t uuU Ileepest Mysterlee of Washington t'ltj at I.mt Cleared l"p A aluable IlUcovery Made by a inter. Chief among the curiosities recovered from the Washington channel is a pe culiar slab or stone, which, if some of the old residents who have been con sulted on the subject are not badly mis" taken, is a find of real value and in terest in connection w ith the early his tory of the city, says the Washington Post It was several days ago that the find Kcurred. Diver Harry Edwards was iown on his third trip in the morning, md was guiding the nozzle of the large suction hose that is used in tearing up the soft bottom to give the workmen iccess to " the foundation of the piers. Near the southw est corner of the abut ment on the districtsjdc he encountered the corner of a piece "of large dressed itone, which he at first thought was a piece of the masonry of the pier which had become detached and fallen out. As the dredging gradually brought : the whole of the rock to view he sasily saw that the material was i not such as plebeian bridges are nade of. It was a sharply cut nd beautifully polished piece of variegated marble, striated in veins of pink and white, which, seen through '.he green scintillating light of the water, took on iridescent tints as fresh is if just turned out from the sculptor's hand. It was not a large block, more like a slab about six inches thick and perhaps one and one-half by three feet in surface dimensions. But t was in the way of the engineering work, and therefore, whatever it was, it had to get out of the way, and, stoop ing down, aided by the buoyancy of the water, Edwards turned the stone over, nd as he did so noticed a half-effaced nscription on one side. Feeling that acrhaps there might be something to ;ho curious find, he signaled the bucket, ind, as his time beluw was nearly up, iscended with the marble and had it anded on the barge, instead of being '.hrown on the common scrap pile with the rest of the refuse. The matter was investigated and the 'acts brought to light make it almost icrtain that one of the oldest and deep est mysteries of Washington has been it last cleared up. The story is one not very widely known, ami it may be briefly stated as this: During the lirst years of work upon the Washington monument there were contributed from all quarters of the globe memorial stones to be inlaid Dn the inner wall of the shaft. The jrowned heads of nearly every land were proud lo contribute toward Amer ica's memorial to the; greatest hero of modern times, and tul'lots of granite and marble npin'oprmtcly inscribed were received by the monument society, and placed, pending their insertion, in u long wooden storehouse or lapiilariuin near the foot of the shaft. Among oth ers that were received in the winter of 185:1 was a- bloc!.; of beautifully striated marble from the. pope of Home, with the simple inscription: "Home to Amer ica," meaning by that not the religious but the political power represented by "Rome." lint il was in the days of the old know-nothings, the "American party," whose intemperate zeal did not stop for tine distinction of definition, ami, thinking that th-.-y saw in the gift an insidious invasion of pupacy into the land of the free :i,n-l the home of the brave, there were ominous grumblings f wrath on tip reception of the gift by the authorities nt Washington. But, though the clou I lowered, it" did not burst. The hard white" !' ", t assed and it Was late in tiie spriii;; of is.M when the work on the mcui'.i.ii -nt va.s once more begun.
