The most poptilnr plan of horse steal
ing requires nt least three men to carry
it out comfortably and successfully. One
of them quietly steals his way into the

boon pushed through one of the air
holes m U10 wall by ouo of liia friends
outside,
Tho two use the string as a saw, while
the third pours upon itn plentiful supply
of water. The cord silently and speedily
cuts its way down tho mud wall.
In a Wonderfully short time the three
craftsmen manage to saw around a por
tion of tho wall, which, when pushed
outwards, loaves a spuco sufficient to
allow n horse to pass out.

A somewhat bold and impudent ex

At sundown a chain of sentries com

right around it. This demands a grent

A native trooper on the occasion to

Obililreu-in-arms generally enjoy ex
emption from Customs’ duties, and oven
tlio octroi officials stationed nt tho "bar
riers” of French and Italian cities, fiscal
martinets though they be, nre wont to
allow these innocent creatures to pass
them free of duty. There are, however,
exceptions to every rule. One day,
among tin? passengers in an omnibus
undergoing the usual inspection at tho
I’ortn Garibaldi of Milnu was n ruddy-
cheeked w et nnrsc, bearing on her lap an
infantine treasure, carefully swaddled,
its youthful lineaments hidden from view
by a thick white lace veil. It seemed a
linhy of excellent conduct, by no means
addicted to infuriate screaming, or even
to the complacent gurglings itlTeeted by
some infants, but wrapped in a profound
noiseless slumber
"That is a remarkably quiet child of
yours,” observed the searching official
to the nurse.
"Yes, indeed it is, dear little angel,”
rejoined tho latter; “it hardly ever cries,
tlm sweet poppet, nnd when it does
whimper a little I can quiet it in a mo
ment with a lump of sugar.”
" It must be quite a treasure,” replied
he of the octroi; "just step down, there’s
a good woman, and bring it to my office,
will you. I should like to liavo u look at
it, being a family man myself.”
Tho nurse grew pale; she had, how-
over, no valid excuse for non-compliance
with the request, so she descended from
tho omnibus and followed the fatherly
official into liis bureau, where, strange
and sail to tell, tho extraordinary placid
ity of her infantine dliarge was speedily
accounted for by tho discovery that it
consisted of fourteen pounds of fine
Bologna sausage, neatly packed up in the
snow white robes ol guileless baby
hood.

Sausages
The following culinary note on aaua-
agos may bo of iutorost: “The earliest
authority given in Todd’s Johnson for
‘ sansngo ’—Kiclinrdson does not notice
tho word—is ‘Buret's Alvearie,’ 1580 A.
I)., a ‘pudding called a sawsege. ’ ' Todd
also says that the contents are ‘stuffed
into skins, and sometimes only rolled in
flour.’ In this he is doubtless right, as
early makers of sausages can not all
have had skins at lmud to put them iu.
But these savory edibles were made long
before 1580, mid were called, ‘weasels,’
whose long, thin bodies they resembled.
A recipe for making these ‘weasels’ is
given in the very curious Liber ('lira

Tea Tales.
The Russian gentlemen drink theit
tea out of glasses; the ladies out ol
ehina. There is an amusing legend at
tached to this custom. Tho first tea
cups (for Russia) were made at Oron-
stadt, with a view of that city at the
bottom of the cup. It often happened
that the proprietors of the cafes did not
make the tea so black as was desirable,
from motives of economy, and a trans
parent liquor was the result. Where
upon a waggish customer summoned the
proprietor, and, pointing to liis cup,
exclaimed, ‘‘I seeOronstadt.” The say
ing paused into a proverb, and so, to
prevent customers “ seeing Cronstadt”
any more, glass- s were introduced, iit
the bottom of which they could see
nothing.
No article on tea could omit mention
of Dr. Johnson and his great pnriiality
for that beverage. In liis review ol
Hi.mvny’s " Tea and Its Pernicious Con
sequences," lie proclaims himself us “ a
hardened and shameless tea-drinker,
jvho lias for many years diluted his
meals with only the infusion of this fas
cinating plant ; whose kettle 1ms scarce
ly timo to cool; who with tea amuses
the evening, with tea solaces the mid
nights, and with tea welcomes the morn
ing.” "Boz/.y” says that he supposes
no one ever enjoyed with more relish
the fragrant leaf than Johnson. Tire
quantities lie drank of it at all hours
were so groat that his nerves must have*
liecn uncommonly strong not to have,
been extremely relaxed by such mi in
temperate use of it. It is related, but
not by Boswell, that while on his Scotch
tour tlio Dowager Lndy Maclood, hnv
ing repeatedly helped lum, until she had
jxmretl out sixteen cups, then asked hitn
if a small basin would not be more agree
able and save liiai trouble. "I wonder,
madam.” he answered, roughly, “ win
all the Indies should ask me such ques
tions. It in to save themselves trouble,
not mo." On another occasion he said :
“ What u delightful beverage tlmt must
be that pleases all palates at a time win n
they can take notlnug else at breakfast.’
Croker mentimiu that the doctor's teapot
held two quarts.
Five-o’elook tea is by no means a mod
ern invention. It is of Swiss origin,
and is mentioned in tho "Almnnoh th t
Gourmands.” “ About 5 o’clock .in tin
evening tlio lady of the house makes
herurif in the middle, of the drawing-
room some very strong ten, softened bj
a few drops of rich cream'; slices ol
bread anti butter are served with it.
Bneli is tho Swiss tea iu all its simplici
ty; but in rich houses arc added cakes,
preserved fruits, and even ices. It h
served every day, and it is the only meal
to which strangers arc invited.” The
well-known stinginess of the Swiss ren
ders this extremely probable. It is to
bo hoped t hat the tea was better in tlios
days than it is now, or u short time ago.
One shudders on recalling to mind tlu
appalling mixture contained in the lio
tel teapots.
Let us end with a statement of Bal
zac’s. We cannot pretend to know
whence he derived it. The English
Government (date not mentioned) al
lowed three criminals condemned t<
death to choose between being bung or
to live exclusively on tea, coffee or
chocolnte, without adding any other
nourishment whatever, or being permit
ted to drink any other liquid. They ac
cepted, and drew lots for the drink.
The one who lived on chocolate died in
eight months. The one who lived'on
coffee lasted two years. But the nmnoJ
tea enjoyed existence for three years

in which each died; but they would

A New American Horror for Pit rope.
How fortunate it is that in the earlier
and severer days oi our national de
velopment Europe kindly forbore to tell
us now entirely dreadful were some
American produc.s on which millions of
lives ware absolutely dependent! Strong
men wo^uld have failed hopelessly, and
the heroe? of our Revolutionary period
would have died in infancy had tlioi o
been any ono to tell them that Ameri
can pigs were alive only with trichinm,
our beef was unfit to oat, our mutton
destitute of nutritive qualities and our
weather worse than anything outside of
Scotland. But a more startling and
terrible decision than any of the e has
just been announced by u i English con
temporary; it is that corn meal tastes
Hko the smell of mice, appears to the
tongue to contain a large quantity of
sand nnd that tlioso who habitually cat
it go mad. This is siuif ly awful, par
ticularly as Americans have never sus
pected it. For two hundred and fifiy
years a large proportion, sometimes a
majority, of tho Atnorican people have
subsisted on corn meal almost to tho
exclusion of flour, and found it so pala
table that many of them preferred it.
They liavo gone mad, but thoy never
knew it, for the proportion of insane
E ersons in localities where corn-meal
read is most used is noticeably small.
Still, perhaps, our people do not know
madness when they see it. Three Ameri
cans quite famous for extravagant, fond
ness for food made from corn tneal were
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln
and Robert E. Lee. The w<»rkl admits
that there was something unusual in the
mental organization of iho.-o men;
could. it have been merely corn-meal

The Upper and Lower Eyes,
“There are two pairs of eyes in man,
nnd it is requisite that the pair which
arc beneath should lie chiscii win n, the
pair that ere above them perceive, and
that when tha pair above are closed,
those which are' beneath arc opened.”
The lowt r eyes son only the surfaces nnd
effects, tlio upper eyes behold cause.-
and the connection of tilings. And when
,ve go alone or come into the house oi
thought and worship, wo come with pur
pose to lie disabused of appearances, -to
see realities, tlio great lines of our des
tiny, to sec that life has no caprice or
fodtuuc, is no hopping squill, but a
growth after immutable laws, under
iionetieont influences tho most immen’se.
Tin' church is open to great und small
in all nations, and how rare and lofty,
how unattainable, are the aims it labors
to set before men! We come to educate,
come to isolate, to In abstractionists;
in, fine, to open the upper eyes to tlu
dec)) mystery of cause and effect, to
know tlmt, though ministers of justice
and power fail, Justice and Power fad
never. The open secret i f the world is
tho art of subliming a private soul with
inspirations from the great and public
and divine Soul from which wo live.—
