When George III. was repairing his palace at Kew, one of his work men was particularly noticed by his Majesty. On Monday morning the king went as usual to watoh tbe progress of the work, and not see ing the man in his usual place, he inquired tbe reason of his absence. He was at first answered evasively by the workmen; at last, lnwever, they ackuowedged that not having been able to complete a particular job on Saturday night they had re turned to fioibh it on Sabbath morning, which this man refusing to do he had been dismissed from the employment. “Send him back immediately," said the king; “the man who refuses to do bis ordinary work on tho Lord’s day is the man for mo.” “Onions Boiled in Molasses." George Washington, while attend ing a Bwell reception at Newport, noticed that the daughter of his host, Miss Ellery, was suffering from a severe sore throat and could not speak above a whisper. General Washington, observing this embar- rassment of his youthful hostess, said to her: “Miss Ellery, you seem to be suf fering very much; what is the mat ter?" Miss Ellary told him the causo of her trouble, upon which the general said to her: “I suffer very frequently from a sore throat ond take a remedy which I find very useful, aud which 1 would recommend to you were I not sure you would not take it.” “Rut I am sure," replied Miss El- lery, that I would take any remedy that General Washington would propose.” “Well, then," said the general, “it is this- onions and molases. It has enred me often." Miss Ellery took tbe remedy and, of course, was oured. Exchange. Tbe Barley Crop Destroyed by Frost.

This discov- ery.hus caused consternation. The famine is expected to reach its acme in November. Feasants threaten revolution unless the czar gives them relief from Ixis private re sources. Threatened risings are re ported in various places. London, Oot. 3—Most heartrend ing stories of distress among the people in Russia are reoeived here through private sources. Tbe death rate iu some Beotions is so great that religious rites are impossible at bur ials. The press is forbidden to refer the famine. Bakeries have been rob bod by the desperate people, but cases are not pressed against por. sous arrested. A curious effect of tho situatiou is the large budget deficit on oo count of tbe inability of aa immense number of persons to pay their tax es. The goverment has made an other graut of 1,000,000 roubles for the relief of tbe people. to Justice Lamar's decisiou'that tbe authority of a United States Mar shal does not extend beyond the dis trice for which he is appointed is very unsatisfactory to those who think that, when appointed a Feder al deputy something, they are enti tled to do as they please wherever they please.

It is tho fact that blindness is more prevalent among horses in Ohio than those of uny other section of the country. Tbe cases of blindness nru attributed in a great meas ure to overfeeding, the Ohio horses be ing notoriously fat. It is a commou practice to force tho fnt upon horses in tended for Bale by stuffing them princi pally with Indian corn, and keeping them without service in wuriu, close stables. This method of feeding soon fattens a horse, but ut the same time its digestive functions are injured by the trewwnent it is now believed that blindness can be traced to a sympathetic relation between disorder of tlic digestive organs and the brain, and Hint through the latter the optic nerve becMncs diseased and ends in destroying tho vision. Blindness is also frequently transmitted to offspring, and thus an evil, Hrst originating in dis ease, almost becomes a natural defect by hereditary descent. Errors in feeding horses, as is well known, also produce bliwl staggers and organic disease of the brain, therefore tho greatest care should be exercised in feeding them. In order to prevent tho spread of horse blindness it is recommended that when ever tho animal shows tho least symp toms of tho disease it should bo kept on a light diet of hay and oats. A horse may bo maintained iu good condition on twclvo pounds of hay and five iKiqpds of outs for daily feed. In breeding horses it is also recommended that nil aiiimalB showing the least symptoms of organic disease be rejected. One of tho first symptoms Incident to blindness, which any person may readily notico, is the disposition of the animal to raise his forelegs unnecessarily high, while, at ihe same time, the oars are drawn hack and forth in quick suocee- •iou, and thus giving sure evidence that the sagacious animal is sounding the ground ovor which ho travels. These are the principal idens advanced by most veternarians respectingtherauaeof prev alent lmrso blindness in our country and a mode of arresting the spread of the evil. There ure some other causes of this diseaso which api«ar more evident, any of which are perfectly capable of removal. Blind horses are more com mon in cities than in the niral districts. This Is principally caused by bad sta bles. Many of them are underground cellars, and with few exceptions all stables are too small. They do not ad mit a sufficient quantity of fresh air for ventilation and respirntion, and this al ways tends to injure tho health of tho animals. Light is as essentiul to the health of horses as that of men, and yet most stables nro nearly ns dark ns dun geons. It would be far hotter for most of the horses in our cities to be kept in open sheds than in tho stables communly provided for them. 1 am also iwsitive that eyebltnds on the harness tend to injure the eyes of horses, and as they are totally useless and unsightly appendages tuey should be abandoned entirely. The open bridlo has become more common, but it should bo universal. Tight, close collars, which squeeze the eyes of horses in putting thorn on, are also very injurious to tho eyes of the nuiinuls. I .have known one case of permanent injury to the eyes of an excellent horse from this cause.

How to Toll Iron Ti-om Steel. A writer in tho Glasgow Engineer, iu pointing out somo of the most practica ble data iu testing iron and steel, lavs down a simple rule to start with—nauio- ly, that iu any case where u fracture of iron gives long, silky fibers of a leaden hue, the fibers cohering and twisting to gether bofore breaking, it may bo con sidered a tough, soft iron. Further, a medium, oven graiu, mixed with fibers, is a good sign, while a short and black ish fiber indicatas badly refined iron, a very fine grain also denoting a hard and steely iron, which is apt to bo cold short and hard to work with the file. Again, coarso grain with a brilliant crystallized fracture and yellow or brown spots, de notes a brittle iron, cold short, working easily when heated and welding well. Nitric acid will produce a black spot on steel—the darker the spot the harder the steel—while iron, on tho contrary, remains bright if touched with Utat acid. Good steel iu its soft state has a curved fracture and a uniform gray lustre, but in its hard state u dull, silvery, aniform white; again, good steel will bear a white heat without fulling to pieces, and will crumble under tho hammer at a bright heat, while at a middling heut it may be drawn out under tho hammer to a fine point. A Sun Fraurlsna Slim Wli* Is n«lle T <iA to Hors Slimtorml tli* Simian Lingo. A mysterious individual haunts Wood ward’s gardens to whom is attributed the gift of conversing with monkeys in their own language. He is a little old man who has seen about three score years and ten, but as lie is always alone and sjieaks to no one very little is known about him. For nearly u year past tho old gentleman lias daily visited that former popular resort, deposited the en trance fee, and as quickly us Ills feeble strength will allow and witli eagerness depicted on his seamed und weather beaten countenance proceeds ut onco to! the monkey cage. Tho monkeys recognlco him and set tip a chattering and howling that would , grate on a sensitive person's uervps, but the old tnm rTiii iniiir tmnd ii a im ua enjoys it, and beams on tliequadruiiiana that make every effort to reach him through tho iron liars with an expression Unit would lead one lo think tiiat his Bonl was wrapped up in them. , Finally, tho noi.io subsides and tho old man gazes into a dozen comical expect ant faces pressed against the bars, with twenty-four pairs of bright eyes looking nt him, and utters a few guttural sounds tiiat astonish and ploasc tho tnonkoyA. He perfectly imitates tho sounds of most of them, and all arrange themselves in n semicircle mid with great seriousness listen to all ho has to say. Sometimes his tone is serious,yvhen all tho monkeys put on a very abject expression aud look as sorrowful as a monkey can. 1 hen again, when tho tones are differ ent, tho monkeys will diihce about with every evidence of delight, and ail begin to jabber at once, until the old ibun points his finger nt one of the lurgest. All remain silent while lie seemingly carries on a conversation with one of the older ones, imitating all the grimaces and actions of a monkey us well us uny human being could. Sometimes tho conversation lasts an hour or more, when tho little man bids his frionds sdiou until the morrow’. It Ib ssid by some that the littlo man wrr oneo ii sea captain, whngo crew wan murdered by the natives ou tho coast of Brazil, and he made his escape to ths forests of tho interior with no com panions but the monkeys for many months, and subsisted entirely on the wild fruits and other food berries tiiat he could gather. It is supposed tiiat he ob tained somo knowledge of their method of communication during tho mouths of his enforced residence in the wilderness that enables him to engage the attention of the monkeys at Woodward’* Gardens. When accosted the old man will not reply, and his mysterious buhuvior is a source of uiiuUa commout.— bun Fran cisco Exumiueiv Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a concentrated extract of Barsapartlla, Ycllmv Dock, I’lpslsscwn, Juniper Perries, Mandrake.
