During hi* ttay at Fredensborg Prinoe
Albert, a *oo of H. R. H. the Prinoe of
Wales, diverted himself by tormenting
the life out of the out's favorite dog.
Om day the emperor of Russia, u be
pasted along tbe (hero of tbe Lake of
Esrom, which bounds the park of Fro-
densbnrg on one side, perceived the
young prinoe in the act of taking tip hie
dog in U* arm* and throwing him into
the water. Half in sport, half in anger,
Alexander HI, who possesses uncommon
muscular strength, went up to the
young man—who is hie nephew, by the
by—and seizing him by the eoat collar
threw him into the lake in his turn, say
ing:
"As you seem to bo so fond of water,
rn give you a taste of it for once.”
Since this occurrence Prince Albert
has given tho czar's pet dog a wide
berth.—La Morale Amnsanto.
An Anclon. Custom at Yale.
In tho chapel on either side of the
middle aisle sit the dignifiod seniors,
while in other part* are the lower classes.
Away up in hi* high pulpit site “Proxy"
(which is the cognomen that the honor
able president goes by). After the serv
ice is over a most ancient and carious
custom takes place, which is both inter
esting and amusing to the visitor. As
the president leaves the chapel be passes
down the middle aislo between tbe Hues
of standing seniors, who all bow very
low at bis passage. It is almost funny
to see the men doable np and bend
almost to the ground, and it is hard to
repress a smile. At the end gallery seat*

Heat Fodder for Carmlry Hwim.
A series of experiments, made with a
view of discovering the best fodder for
French cavalry horses, has established
the fact that straw and oats ore, in rea
son, preferablo to hay. It appeared that
when the ration of hay was reduced, and
that of the straw and oats proportion
ately increased, tho staying power of tho
hones was much improved; they sweat
ed less and boro fatigue better. These
experiments bavo excited much interest
in military circles, and it is very gener
ally reoognized that there is imperative
need for a complete and careful study of
the question of cavalry forage.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
A Blbl. Threo Centra lie. Old.
Mrs. Barbara Miller, who resides at
No. 410 East Sixty-fint street, has in her
possession a very old Bible. It Is a Ger
man Catholic Biblo, and was printed in
1543. Tbe ancient volnmo is 18 inches
long, 0 inches wide and 0 inches thick.
The leaves are yellow with ago, and
would not bear handling. Tho type
need in printing the Biblo was made of
wood. The book has always been in the
family, and has been handed down from
ono generation to another. Mrs. Hiller
has frequently been offered good prices
for the Bible, bat refused to part with it

A Bright Drummer.
The drummer who cannot do his share
of bragging, and perhaps a little more,
is as rare in the community as tho black
swan of antiquity. Tho latest specimen
of drummer's hyperbole I give here word

dimensions of our establishment Just

Proverbs and sage advice for the

ty bit of advico to thoso who are grow
ing old, ottered by a French philoso

ON CONTRACTS.
theta reeallarltlM When Hade BUM*
by Latter or by Telegram.
The qrawtVn of rights and HaMtSta
under eon tracts made by correspondence,
or a eeriee of letters or telegrams to and
from some one in another dty in re
lation to mutual bnsineee transaction*,
is one that is frequently arising in bad
ness life, snd with the principles of law
governing such contracts or such corres
pondence, it will be advantageous tomont
businessmen to be familiar. Contracts
thus made ore in their nature the same
os all other contracts and governed’by
the same rules, via.: There must be
parties capable of contracting, a subject
matter to be contracted for, a saffledeat
consideration, and an assent or com
pletion of the contracts, and it is of tho
roles governing the determination of
this question only that we propose to
write now, snd to give only those more
familiar roles that are well established
by adjudicated
An offer made by mail or telegraph is
a continuing and open proposition until
its receipt by tbe party to whom it is
addressed, snd soeh reasonable time
thereafter as win enable him to accept
or refuse it, or until actual notice of its
withdrawal by the party making that
offer reaches the party to whom the offer
has been made, and any act done by the
party evincing an intent to aoeept it be
fore actually receiving each notice of its
withdrawal, is a completion of tbe con
tract It may be withdrawn by the
party making it at any time previous to
its acceptance by the other, but this no
tice Of withdrawal is not operative until
it has actually reached the party to
whom it is addressed.
For tnstnnce: If A should write to B,
making s certain offer for certain goods,
and B should write accepting such offer,
the contract would bo completed at the
time B posted his acceptance, although
A might in the meantime have written
another letter withdrawing his offer, pro
viding that B bad mailed his acceptance
before receiving the notice of withdrawal.
In other words, the con tract is complete al
the time of mailing the acceptance of the
offer, and not at tho timo of the receipt
of such acceptance by the party making
tho offer.
Should B delay his acceptance, how
ever, until the receipt of tho notice oj
withdrawal, no acceptance then mode
could operate to bind A to tho contract
The offer need not bo revoked In thf
same manner as it was made, either; and
should A. after making an offer to B.
alter his determination and telegraph B
to that effect, which telegram was re
ceived by B previous to a receipt of th<
offer or its acceptance by him. It is a
complete withdrawal.
Tho entire question in each case is. Hot
there been an assent to the terms offered
before the offer was withdrawn? If so,
there is a complete contract, which can
only be rescinded by the consent of both
parties, while before such acceptance iu
terms ore constantly open to a modifica
tion by either.—American Merchant
IIow the Fog Affected Observations.
A new story is told about tbe sharp
ness and briskness of the captains of the
transatlantic steamships. On a recent
voyage of one of the well known vessels
plying between here and Europe, one of
the paseongert, a woman, pestered the
captain to death with mmeoessary ques
tions. Boms heavy weather set in, and
owing to the tog and rain tho ship's offi
cers were nnablo to make their usual ob
servations. When tho captain came
down to dinner on that afternoon hit
persecutor was waiting for him.
"Bough weather, captain,” tho said.
“Somewhat"
“A good deal of rain.”
"A good deal.”
"Pretty hoavy fog."
“Yes, it is.”
“So heavy, I understand, that you
could not make yoor observation.”
“Yea," gruffly, “but not heavy enough
to prevent yon trim making yours."—

Feather Factories.
At Mannheim, Germany, several fac
tories, employing steam machinery and
hundreds of operatives, are now at work
preparing feathers for morkot Tho
feathers come in great quantities from
different sections of Europe, and from
China and other parts of Asia. Tho
bales are opened near a kind of gin or
breaker, which shakes out the feathers
and throws them around in a chamber
through which a strong air current is
passing. From this machine they pas*
to others, in which tho long and heavy
feathers ere separated by ventilators
from the short and light, until tho final
grado of delicate down is blown into a
large receiver. The cleaning is offectod
by jets of steam, the dirt thus loosened
being drawn off by currents of dry sir.
