The word “thoroughbred” does not
mean an animal of pure blood, that is
unmixed ; it is used to designate animals
raised from the best blood, but origin
ally derived from a mixture of races. A
pure or full blood is an animal whose
pedigree is clear, and which was bred
without admixture from the same source,
as a pure Clydesdale horse. A thorough
bred may also be a pure blood, but not
necessarily so.
In the reign of George IT. the Rajah
(or Prince) of Bengal, India, marched
suddenly to Calcutta to drive the En
glish from the country. As the attack
was unexpected the English were de
feated and 116 persons were taken pris
oners. They were driven into a place
about 18 feet square, and 15 or 16 feet
high, with only two small grated win
dows. This is what is known in history
as the “Black Hole of Calcutta.” One
hundred and twenty-three of the prison
ers died in one night, suffocated in a few
hours from confinement in this close,
hot prison-hole, the oxygen of the air
being soon consumed by so many lungs,
and its place supplied by carbonic acid
exhaled by the hot breath. The victims
all died sleeping, because the carbonic
aeitl gas, being a narcotic poison, pro
duces drowsiness and death in those who
inhale it. Of the twenty-three w r lio sur
vived, the larger portion died of putrid
fevers after they were liberated.
The national anthem, “ The Star
Spangled Banner,” was written by a
Baltimorean, in Baltimore, and put in
type by a Baltimore boy, in the office
of the Baltimore American, on the
night of the bombardment of Port Mc-
Henry. Francis Scott Key, under the
protection of a Jiag of truce, went on
board the cartel-ship Menden to en
deavor to procure the release of a friend
of his, who had been captured by the
British. For fear the intended attack
upon the city would be divulged by him,
Air. Key was detained a prisoner, and,
during the conflict, the poem was com
posed, notes of it being written upon the
back of an old letter. When he was re
leased he wrote out the song in full, and
by the advice of his uncle, Judge Nich
olson, had it sent to the printer. It was
taken to the American office ; the men
were all in the army, and to Mr. Samuel
Sands, then an office-boy II years of
age, and now tho veteran editor of the
American Farmer, was the copy hand
ed to be set up. He set it up, printed
it and distributed it among the people.
Set to music, it was first sung in a res
taurant next to the Holliday Street The
ater, by Charles Durang. It was re
ceived with great enthusiasm, and was
sung nightly for some timo afterward at
the theater, and was soon adopted as the
national anthem.
Emblems of Mourning'.
“I trust that black will not always
remain an emblem of mourning in this
country,” said a dealer in mourning
goods, who is a scholar as well as a mer
chant. “It is not a suitable emblem,
but it implies an absence of light and a
want of life which we certainly do not
wish to convey as onr conception of the
state our of departed friends. Mourning
is supposed to be the outward visible
sign of inward grief. The notion of a
change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habiliments of woe grief is too strong to
be overcome by fashion.”
“ What, other colors are used in
mourning ?”
“In Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes. In Tur
key, Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia,
celestial blue is the tint chosen ; in
Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of the
dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in
Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is
the emblem of mourning. All of these
colors are symbols. White symbolizes
purity, an attribute of our dead; the
celestial blue that place of rest where
happy souls are at peace ; the yellow, or
dead leaf, tells that death is the end of
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf ; and gray whispers of
the grave to which all return. The
Lyeians considered mourning for the
dead an effeminate practice, and so
when they grieved they put on women’s
clothes as a symbol of weakness and as
a shame to them for a lack of manli
ness. The Thracians made a feast when
one of their loved ones died, and every
method of joy and delight were em
ployed. This meant that the dead had
passed from a state of misery into one
of never-ending felicity. Black was in
troduced as mourning by the Queen of
Charles VIII. Before that the French
Queens wore white mourning, and were
known as the White Queens.” —New
York Star.
It is learned from a private report
that on the southern seaboard of the
Chinese province of Kwantnng are found
wild silkworms which feed on the cam
phor tree, and whose silk is utilized in a
singular manner. When full grown, the
caterpillar is cut open and the silk ex
tracted in a form much resembling cat
gut. This substance is subjected to a
hardening process and made into fish
lines.

“ Blode Up.”
A young fellow having an odor of the
stable about him, entered a Detroit
photographer’s establishment and ex
plained that he would like to have about
one photograph taken, but on learning
the price concluded to invest in a tin
type. After taking his seat in the chair,
he shut one eye, drew his mouth around
to one side, stuck up his nose, and
patiently waited for the operator, whose
astonishment caused him to exclaim :
“ Good gracious ! but you don’t want
to look that way to get a picture. No
body will know you from Sitting
Bull.”
“You go ahead,” was the reply.
“ Do you want me to take such a phiz
a3 that ?”
“Ido.”
The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith
Russell all to pieces, and was highly
satisfactory to the sitter, who paid for it
and said :
“ You see, I had a sort of object in
this. Came here from Allegany County
six mouths ago—engaged to a gal out
there—found a gal here I like better
—got to sever old ties—see ?”
“But what has the'picture got to do
with old ties?” asked the artist.
“Lots—heaps ! I’ve writ to her that
I was blode up here and disfigured for
life. She’s awful proud. When she
gets this and sees how the explosion
wrecked me, slie‘ll hunt another lover
quicker’n wink—see ? How do you like
the plot? Just gaze on this picture and
tell me that Mary Ann won’t send back
my letters by first train !”
He posted the picture. The letter was
brief but explained it all. It said : “My
ever des# girl—l enclose my picture that
you may see how awful bad I was hurt,
tho’ I know you will love me just the
same.”
“ Ever see that game worked afore ?”
he asked of the artist as he licked the
stamp on the letter.
“ No—never did.”
“ Course you never did. It’s mine.
It struck me the other day while I was
greasin’ a wagon, and I think it’s boss,
iilode up—see ? Picture right here to
prove it, and she’ll write back that she
lias at last concluded to yield to her
parents wishes and marry a young man
out there who owns eleven steers, a hun
dred sheep and an eighty-acre lot. ”
The Des Moines (Iowa) Tri-Weekly
Tribune says: “A Harrisburg, Pa.,
journal mentions that Mr, D. Bensinger,
No. 4 Market Square, that city, was
cured by St. Jacobs Oil of a violent at
tack of rheumatism.
Previous to the invention of the mule
for spinning cotton few operators could
spin it to 200 hanks to the pound, 840
yards making a hank. At the same time
the natives of India were spinning cotton
to a fineness of about 300 and 400 hanks.
Since the introduction of the mule
the Messrs. Houldsworth, of Manches
ter, England, have succeeded in spin
ning 700 hanks from a pound of cotton.
Within a short time 10.000 hanks have
been spun from a pound, but the thread
was too fine to lie woven. The thread
from this single pound of cotton reached
ii length 4,770 miles. The finest cotton
yarn is spun in England and made into
lace in Fiance.
It is useless to groan with rheumatism
when a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will cure
it, as everybody knows. Columbus

An Item for the Superstitions.
A great deal has been said of the late
President Garfield’s superstitious feel
ing in regard to the number 42, and how
be w r as always figuring out dates, etc.,'
so as to sum up or make up that num
ber. Here is a serious coincidence,
which, perhaps, no one has noticed:
James A. Garfield was:
Born, November 19
Elected, November 2
Shot, July 2
Died, September 19
42
It will also be noticed that there are
two 19’s and two 2’s in this series of
dates. —Paterson Press.

Measuring by the Eye.
A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script suggests that children should be
exercised in measuring by the eye. He
says that veal’s ago, when Tie went to
school in a little weather-beaten school
house, the scholars had most exciting
contests over the teacher’s favorite ex
ercise of having them estimate with the
eye the size and weight of different ob
jects in the room.
He would hold up his cane and have
each scholar tell how long he thought it
was, and it was a lucky child that could
come within a half a foot of the right
length.
He would measure an urchin and th£n
have the scholars try to reproduce the
measure on the wall. He would mark
off an inch, or a foot, or a yard, in some
conspicuous place, and then see how
near anybody could come to chalking
the same length upon the blackboard.
And it was astonishing how r wide
astray one would go. The fact is, our
eyes deceived us ridiculously, even upon
the commonest things.
At first thought which would you say
was the taller, a 3-year-old child or a
barrel of flour? And could anything
but actual measurement convince you
that the same child is half as high as a
six-footer?
There is an old saying that a child 2
years old is half as tall as fie ever will
be, and after a few experiments in meas
uring one can easily believe it, but not
before.
Almost Young Again.

Bitters with such good effect that she seems

chariot of his posterity. He spendeth
his shekels in the purchase of fine linen
and purple to cover the bosom of his
family, yet he himself is seen at the

He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut

it is cut down that the tender roots
thereof will sprout again, but man

In illustrating the explosive character
of dust mixed with all’, Prof. L. W.
Peck said in a lecture : “If a large log
of wood were iguited it might be a week
before being entirely consumed. Split
it up into cord wood, and pile it up
loosely, and it would burn iu a coupie of
hours. Again, split it up into kindling
wood, pile it up loosely, and perhaps it
would burn in less than an hour. Cut
it up into shavings ana allow a strong
wind to throw them in the air or in any
way keep the chips comparatively well
separated from each other, and the log
would, perhaps, be consumed in two or
three minutes ; or, finally, grind it up
into a fine dust or powder, blow it in
such manner that each practice is sur
rounded by air, and it would burn in
less tlian a second.
