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 |o, he began to scream and leap |rd them, which convinced the tha#the prisoners were guilty kcrlme. on, Boys.—Hold on to your r when you are ready to swear, ppeak harshly. on to your hand when you are point of punching, scratching, [g, or doing any impi oper act. on to your foot when you are point of kicking, running off study or pursuing the path of shame or crime. k on to your temper when you r, excited or imposed upon, are angry with you. r on to your heart when evil ae rates seek your company, and in- you to join in their mirth, games revelry.

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- ,h these rateAflMbouses, camps ies. th at do no, 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 latter in{ Tin EOS 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; aud sumcient water most be put In at the start so that It need not be refilled or added to. These directions exactly followed, you have a batter pudding jill puddings the most delicate and ilip it out of,thqc&n oj serv 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. — Alfred Tennnyson. A Leave-Taking. She will not smile She will notstir; I marvel whl e I look on her. The lips are chilly And will not speak; The ghost of a lily In either cheek. Her hair—ah me! Her hair—her hair ! How he plessly * My hands go there ! But my caresses Meet not hers. 0 golden tresses That thread my tears! I kiss the eyes On either lid. Where her love lies Forever hid. 1 cease my weeping And smile and say. 1 will be sleeping Thus, some day. —James Whitcomb Riley. 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. * laucer received a pi
