Our Young Folks.
[Convicted by a Monkey.—The
se of “a monkey on the witness
ed,” reported from Indis, does not
to be an isolated one. Domestic
iials have many times played the
i of the dog of Montargis, in reveal-
crime, and wicked men need to
Ide their deeds from eyes that are
pt human, in addition to their 01 di
secrecy. In England, not long
|iome foot-pads attacked a travel-
lusieian, injured him severely
(robbed him of all his money. The
pician had several monkeys, ail of
cb were killed except one. That
^escaped by climbing a tree. As
as the robbers had disappeared,
lonkey came down the tree and
I to the nearest house. Its antics
cries induced a man to follow
to the spot where the musician
Afterwards some men were ar-
fted on suspicion of the robbery,
le monkey was brought before them,
i soon as the little animal saw the

pyg “Trading” Rat.—An animal
lose instinct teaches it to give quid
quo should be capable of a busiuess
education. The last candidate we
should select for such schooling is the
thievish rat; but now we learn that
iere are rudiments of honesty and
dealings in one species of even
kanimal.
curious statement is made about
trading rat, which is one of the
lue and interesting animals met
in the Rocky mountains. The
iers of the region declare that al-

its place. They conduct a trade, and
hence their name.
They enter dwelling at night and
steal anything they can find, carrying
away spoons, knives and forks, but
invariably leaving a chip, stick or
stone in place of eaeh article taken
away.
The miners look upon the uncanny
dealings of these precocious animals
with superstition almost amounting
to awe, and tell many wonderful
stories of their jinesse, and the length
to which they carry their depreda
tions, but the predominant quality
with which they invest them is the
faculty of trading or exchanging al
luded to.
Do Fishes Sleep?—Formerly it
was the received opinion that a fish
never slept, but lately this opinion has
been changed in consequence of such
facts as the following :
In one division of the Berlin aqua
rium were about a dozen carp that
commenced in October to act curi
ously. From time to time the majority
of the fish, occasionally all of them,
would assume a crook* d position and
remained so for hours, or until they
were disturbed.
When worms or other food were
thrown into the water they would
spring up to seize it, and immediately
resume their old position. These fish
were often very particular in choosing
their resting-places.
Some would examine carefully with
their hands the surrounding rocks
and stones, then slowly turn them
selves over on the right or left side,
and either remain quiet oi swim
away to seek some other place.
Other fish would lie on the gravel,
resting on their head and tail, in the
form of a bow. One carp always stood
on his head with his body erect in the
water—a veritable wondej. of balancing
that showed the capabilities of its fins.
It was (a y lo mouse most of the
fish by means of food or of a noise,
but some of them slept so soundly that
it was only possible to disturb them
by hitting or shaking them re
peatedly.
The lidless, always-open eye of the
fish makes it difficult to distinguish
Its sleep from its periods of ordinary
rest, but this last experiment was con
clusive
The suggestion that this behavior is
the result * f illness is answered by
stating that this habit of sleep was ob
served nearly every day for more
than six months, and during all that
time the fish ate regularly, and were
free from any appearance of sickness.
Vennor’s Predictions for 1882.
First—A season that will well merit
the designation of cool to cold and
wet, generally. Not that there will
not be terms of summer warmth, and
even intense heat for periods, but
rather that these last appear in the
retrospects of but comparative insig
nificance, or as the exceptions to the
general rule.
Second—The season will be marked
by not only great precipitation, but
by a mugginess of atmosphere, gener
ally, caused by the reeking condition
of the ea#th, and the long continuance
of clouded sky. This will result in
periods of extreme sultriness and
heavy weather, during which thunder
and hail storms will occur. In other
words, the summer will be the re
verse of clear and dry.
There is a likelihood of June and
August frosts in northern, western
and southern sections, anu a general
cold wave may occur toward mid-sum
mer.
Fourth—The autumn months will
continue moist. September will prob
ably give rains and floods in Western
Canada and in western and southern
sections of the United Slates, Ooto
her will be much the same, with early
cold and snow falls. November will
begin the wint* r of 1882-83—a winter
likely to be memorable on account of
its exceptionably heavy snow falls and
very cold weather over the whole
northern hemisphere. That “a cold
and wet summer is invariubly follow
ed by a cola and stormy winter,” is a
truth now so well proven and borne
out by the testimony of past records
that we cannot lightly put it^iside,
and if we have good and sufficient
grounds for predicting the ti
we most assuredly have at t|
it is butJB^that we she

The American’s Motto.
The following story is related of an
immensely wealthy Amer can in Eu
rope, who had made his fortune sud
denly, as suddenly found out that it
v as the correct thing to have a coat-of-
arms on his carriage. So he ordered
one. The celebiated advertising her
aldic stationer was a bit of a wag in
his way, and took the old fellow’s
measure at a glauee. ‘ What you
want is a crest and a motto, sir,” said
he politely. “I guess so.” He was re
quested to call next day and See the
design, and promptly went.
The crest was a mailed arm holding
a dagger—“something uncommon,”
the heraldry man said—and the motto
Semper nobilis omnibus benign us,
which means, he explained, transla
ting freely, “Always noble and kind
to everybody ” The old man was de
lighted. “Now, the latest style of
printing mottoes,” pursued the shop
man, “ is initializing the words after
the fashion of the old Roman motto:
Senatus pop-ulus que Romanus, which
the ancients abbreviated into S. P. Q,.
R. Of course you’d like yours done
like that, sir?” “Most assuredly,”
replied the living goldmine, and he
forthwith ordered reams of note-paper,
and envelopes to match, stamped in-
stanter, in gold and silver and every
known hue. Well, he and his wife
used the stationary a month or so,
writing to everyone they could think
of, when one fine morning, while
studying with more scrutiny than
usual the beauty of the decoration, it
suddenly dawned upon him that the
caption of the .- heet to which he had
been daily a^d hourly affixing his val
uable signature was nothing more or
less than S. N. O. B.
Domestic Economy.
Light, brown biscuits for tea are
made of one pint of Graham flour, one
pint of sour cream, one teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda ; roll them out as
for any buiscuit, and bake In a moder-
rate oven.
To Fry Smelts.—Wash and scrape
them, cut off the fins, dip them
beaten eggs and cracker crumbs,
simply roll them in flour, fry in boil
ing fat; garnish with fried paisley or
with fresh water cresses.
A nourishing and pleasant drink
for a sick person is made of parched
rice. Brown the rice the same as you
do coffee, then pour boiling water
with a little salt in it over the rice.
Let it boil until it is tender ; then add
sugar or cream to it. It may be
strained or not, according to taste.
Clam Fritters.—Drain and chop
a pint of clams, and season with salt
and pepper. Make a fritter batter as
directed, using, however, a heaping
pint of flour, as the liquor in the clams
thins the batter. Stir the clams into
this and fry in boiling fat. The
Brunswick preparation of clams is ex
cellent.
Steamed Johnnycake.—Beat one
dessert-spoonful of sugar with two
eggs ; add two teaspoonfuls of butter
milk, half a teacupful of sweet, rich
cream, two even teaspoonfuls of Boda,
or # enough to sweeten the buttermilk,
a little salt, one cupful of flour and
meal to thicken. S'earn from one
and a half to two hours.
Batter Pudding.—This is the
most difficult of all puddings to make,
but its difficulty lies not in its combi
nation of many materials, for these
are few and simple; the tro bleisin
mixing and bringing it to the table in
the light and feathery condition that
makes of it a food fit for fairies. Beat
up four eggs thoroughly ; add to them
a pint of milk and a reasonable pinch
of salt. Sift a teacupful of flour and
add it gradually to the milk aud eggs
beating lightly the while. Then pour
the whole mixture through a fine wire
strainer into the tin in which it is to
be boiled. This straining is impera
tive. The tin must be perfectly plain,
aud must have a tight-fitting cover;
the lea*t bit of steam getting at the
pudding would Bpoil it. Now comes
the greut secret of a boiled baiter pud
ding; the pot of boiling water in
which the pudding pan is placed must
not be touched or moved until the
pudding is done. It takes exactly an
hour to cook. If moved or jarred so
that the pudding pan oscillates against
the side of the pot the pudding inevi
tably falls and comes out as heavy as
lead. The pot must be put on the spot
on the stove or range on which it can
slay until the expiration of the hour;

the start so that It need not be refilled
or added to. These directions exactly

Pathetic Gems.
Grief.
I sometimes hold It half a sin
To put In words the grief 1 feel;
For words, like nature half reveal
And half conceal the soul within.
But, for the unquiet heart and brain,
A use In measured language his,
The sad mechanic exercise,
Like dull j arcotios, numbing pain.
In words, like weeds, I’ll wrap me o’er,
Like coarsest clothes against the oold ;
But that lar_e grief which these unfold
Is given in outline and no more.

She will not smile
She will notstir;

The lips are chilly
And will not speak;
The ghost of a lily

Her hair—her hair !
How he plessly *
My hands go there !
But my caresses
Meet not hers.

I kiss the eyes

Forever hid.

And smile and say.

Flying Moments.
The days have come and the days have gone,
And the moments sped away;
And with them came a change to us,
A change not here last day.
But should we not be thankful,
No grave-stone o’er our heads,
That we like vanished moments,
Are not numbered with the dead ?
Yet the moments still are lying,
Aud as they fleet away ;
Taking with them souls forever
lo durkness and to day—
Let us then be ever striving,
And may eech live to say,
To many anniversaries,
Welcome, most welcome day.
Cornell s Proposed Medical
School
Cornell University was enabled to
open its door to young women in 1872
through the generosity of Henry W.
Sage, at that time a resident of Brook
lyn. He gave $250,000 for the purpose
of establishing coeducation. He after
ward gave the money to build a
chapel, and now lives in Ithaca. He
is the president of tLe Board of Trus
tees, and a member of the Executive
Committee. A reporter of The Tri
bune called on him at the Everett
House recently, to ascertain his per
sonal views and the feeling of the
trustees with regard to the propoeed
medical department to be established
in this city. Mr. Sage was very care
ful not to commit himself to any
statement for publication, saying:
“No specific plans have been pre
sented to the trustees as yet, which
would call for any decision by them.
I understand that Dr. M. J. Roberts,
of this city, a graduate of Cornell and
a medical instructor, was sent by a
the gentlemen who lately resigned
from the University of the City of
New York io Ithaca, and that he saw
President Wtiite aud some members
of the faculty. There has been no
meeting of the Executive Committee
since then, aud so nothing has been
done except to talk the matter over
in a purely informal way.”
“What is the general opinion of the
trustees on the need of a medical de
partment ?”
“When these medical gentlemen
shall present their plans to the trustees
if they seem to be in the line of the
intern ts of the University, and in the
line of a Hound medical education, we
shall be glad to cooperate with them.”
“Is this proposed addition to your
curriculum an entirely new project?”
“Severallyears ago the question was
raised as to the advisability of adding
such a department to our course of
Btudy, but the way did not seem clear
just then, aud so it was dropped.”
“Has anyone objected to your hav
ing the new department so far from
the University ?”
“That is a question which will un
doubtedly come up when the subject
is formally discussed by the trustees.
If these gentlemen can show the uu
perior advantages arising from having
the medical college here that will
auswer that question.”
“Could you have the medical de
partment at Ithaca?”
“If we had the money, why not?”
“But have you sufficient advantages
for suoh a college?”
“We would have if we had more
money.”
“How muoh money will proba
eeded to established
alns in this el tv ’
“About $250,000, I should say.”
“And how much if it should be or
ganized at Ithaca?”
“That I cannot say; but Ann
Arbor, an interior city, has one of the
finest medical colleges in the country,
and so could we, if we had a larger
endowment fund.”
Dr. Roberts, who was appointed to
confer with President White, informed
the reporter that his visit was wholly
satisfactory, and that the president
was heartily in sympathy with the
plans of the new medical college; but
that nothing definite has been settled
yet, and there was nothing to be made
public additional to the statements
already published.
The Dispensary.
A very agreeable dentifrice for good
teeth is made from an ounce of myrrh
in fine powder, and a little powdered
green sage, mixed with two spoonfuls
of white honey. A diuggist will make
up the compound, and the teeth should
be washed with it every night and
morning.
How Feople Get Sick.—Eating
| too much and too fast; swallowing
imperfectly masticated food; using
too much fluid at meals; drinking
whisky and other intoxicating
drinks; repeatedly using poisonous
medicines; keeping late hours at
night and sleeping late in the morn
ing ; wearing clothing too tight;
wearing thin shoes; neglecting to
wash the body sufficiently to keep the
pores open; exchanging the warm
clothing worn in a warm room during
the day for costumes and exposure in
cident to evening parties ; compressing
the stomach to gratify a vain and
foolish passion for dress ; keeping up
constant excitement.; fretting the
mind with borrowed troubles, swal
lowing quack nostrums for every im
aginary ill, taking meals at irregular
intervals.—Dr. Hall.
Oatmeal and Cracked Wheat.—
Dr. Dio Lewis writes in the Golden
Rule : “Oatmeal in the form of por
ridge, or in the form of cakes, is one
of the most nutritious of vegetable
fooods. A pound of oatmeal is worth,
as nutritious nutriment, six pounds
of superfine white flour, and, pound
for pound, costs less than wheat flour.
It is most substantial and nutritious
food. Not only does it sustain our
powerful horses, but it developes the
Highlander. Oatmeal porridge, or
oatmeal mush, with a little milk, is a
breakfast which would not only an
swer for your children, but which, in
proper quantity, would abundantly
support you during the forenoon. Oat
meal, freely used, will help to make
you plump. Cracked wheat or whole
when properly cooked is really one of
the most delicious articles of food ever
eaten by man. One pound of cracked
wheat will give as much strength of
muscle and nerve as seven or eight
pounds of common baker’s bread.
Hominy, samped and hulled corn are
among the most substantial and last
ing of human foods, and are very
cheap compared even with wheat.
A Frightened Englishman.
A story is told of an Englishman
who landed at Dublin a few month*
ago filled wish apprehension that the
life of any loyal subject of her Her
Majesty was not worth a farthing
there and thereabouts. The Land
Leagues, he imagined, were all blood
thirsty assassins, and all that sort of
things. But it was his duty to travel
in tho land—a dufy lie approached
with fear and trembling. Now there
happened to ue on his route a number
of towns the names of which begin
with tho suggestive syllable “Kil.”
There were Kilmartin. And so on.
In his ignorance or nomenclatuie his
affrighted senses were startled anew
on hearing a fellow-passenger in the
railway carriage remark to another as
follows : “I’m just after bein’ over to
Kilpatrick.” “And I,” replied the
other, “am after bein’ over to KI1-
mary.” “What murderers they are !”
thought the Englishman. “And to
think that they talk of their assassi
nation ao publicly!” But the conver
sation went on. “Aud fliare are you
goin’ now?” asked assassin No. 1.
“I’m goin’ home, and then to Kil-
more,” was No. 2’s reply. The Eng
lishman’* blood curdled. “Kilmore
is it?” added No. 1. “You’d bett
be cornin’ along wud me to
maule!” It is related that the
lishman left the train at the
station. *
