I think Cl Sanders was the most per-fect-typo of t e bohemian in his early days I ever saw. Ho has, so I am told, settled down and is doing well. Sanders was work ing on a morning paper in St. Louis once when he had an offer to go on an afternoon paper. He called on tho city editor and the following dialogue ensued: "How much salarj' do you want, Mr. Sanders?" "Morn than I am getting where I am." "Wo will pay you 515 per week, Mr. San ders." "I can borrow more than that," said Mr. Sanders as ho bowed himself out. In that remark is the essence of the phil osophy which, makes a bohemian happy. Chicago Tribune. As to Eating Cold Pood. Eat all cold food slowly. Digestion will not begin till tho temperature of the food has been raised by tho heat of tho stomach to 88 degs. Hence tho inoro heat that can bo imparted to it by slow mastication the better. The precipitation of a largo quan tity of cold in tho stomach by fast eating may, and often does, cause discomfort and indigestion, and every occasion of this kind results in a measurable injury to the di gestive functions. Ico water drunk with cold food of course increases tho mischief. Hot drinks hot water, weak tea, coffee, chocolate, etc. will, on tho contrary, help to prevont it. But oat slowly, any way.

FIFTY THOUSAND SPECIMENS IN A PHILADELPHIA HERBARIUM- I Flowers, Seeds and Vegetable Curiosities Secured Throush fcisk of Life A Ee markablo Collection of Nature's Won flers Plants from Everywhere. The biological school of the University of Pennsylvania can boast of. n herbarium of 50,000 botanical specimens. These are large ly plants gathered in Philadelphia from all over the world and dried, and preserved. There is included an almost complete col lection ef North American fauna; another, nearly as full, of the Sowers of tho Sand wich Islands; a number of specimens from Russia, Southern Europe, tho Cape of Good Hope, Australia, tho West Indies and the northern part of South America; an almost perfect representation of the mosses of eastern United States and of tho ferns of North America, and a very good working exhibit of American lichens. Many of the plants wero secured at the risk of life. Some wero plucked from dizzy heights by tho adventurous collectors, and others call to mind interesting facts of another kind. The group of clematis, or virgin's bower, is represented by specimens from all over the west, Florida, Mexico and Australia. One western variety, with long, fuzzy white bunches of blossom, tradition says, has been used by Indians to revive their horses when drooping. The specimens of coptis, or golden thread, a small and delicate look ing plant, show that it grows all over the northern part of this hemisphere, in Penn sylvania, Labrador and Sitka, Alaska. The native country of the monk's hood is equally extended. In 1874 the seeds of the long spurred, yellow aquilegia were selling at a fabulous price, owing to their scarcity-. Prior to that time the plant was scarcely ever seen in larger quantities than bunches a foot square. Dr. Rothrock, professor of botany at the university, went west that year, and at Willov Spring, Arizona, he came upon twenty acres of these beautiful flowers, with spurs four or five inches long. A specimen of the berbcris, or mountain grape, is particularly interesting, because in the northern part of the western coun try, where doctors are not to bo found, it is used by the natives as a drug. It has al ter native properties, is an efficient tonic, Mid by mixing with sugar and fermenting its small blue berry can be made into a whole some wine. There are dried tufts of draba or whitlow grass from half a dozen places all over the world Oregon, the Alps, S'ibv ria, the island of Grand Manan, in the Bay of Fundy, and British Columbia. One be longs to a variety which Dr. Rothrock thinks has but half a dozen representatives in all the herbaria in tho world. It was procured by Bischoff, accompanying th& Western Union extension in Sitka, Alaska, in 1865. A Colorado plant of the same family wae found on a spot 9,000 feet above tho sea. It is curious to notice in this variety tho draba Alpina, that, owing to the coldness of its native place, the foliage is all dwarfed and knotted, while tho process of producing flower and fruit is as luxuriant as that of specimens found in milder climates. An other draba brought from Wyoming by the northwest Wyoming expedition in 1S73 is still more dwarfed. Six specimens of the cochlearia oblongifolia, or scurvy grass, are particularly interesting on account of a btory that is told of the plant. It is princi pally found in the northern regions, quite belting the vicinity of the north pole, and appearing as it does very early in the year, in times gone by it w;is tho saviour of scores of crews dying from scurvy, being eaten with perfect impunity. The universi ty's specimens come from Norton sound and Sitka, Alaska, and Plover bay, Eastern Si beria. The Claytonra sibirica illustrates how wonderfully plants adapt themselves to conditions of climate. One of these in the herbarium from California has leaves and stem four times as large as those of another from Siberia, while the flowers and fruit of both are of equal sizo. A dried plant named after Gen. Fremont, brought from California, is called tho slip pery elm, though it is not related to tho family of tlio eastern slippery elm, but is much more nearly rolated to tho holly hock. There is no more interesting object in tho collection than a twig broken from a variety ofthe canotia, which was found in tho Gila valley of Arizona. This is a leafless tree, which winter and summer alike stands extending into tho air long, bare, skeleton like branches. Tho flowers grow out directly from the wood. Previ ous to 1874 there had beon only a rumor of the existence of this tree. During that year Dr. Rothrock, while in Arizona, saw several of them, but simply thought them dead until chance led him to approach one and he secured a specimen, which is almost priceless in value to him. A number of dried dahlias, some of them also from tho Gila river, illustrato, too, tho tendency of plants under certain circum stances to lose all largo leaves and also to acquire numerous oil glands along tho stems, which- appear under tho microscope like knots of red and yellow gum. Tho varieties of sumach represented in tho herbarium number among them ono from Center county, Pa., which is so poisonous that suscoptible people dare not approach within thirty feet of it, and another quite common in this neighborhood, with berries covered by scarlet hairs, which is not dan gerous. A dried tuft of chamaebalia from Cali fornia, although it has been preserved for fifteen jTears, after having been soaked in alcohol and corrosive sublimate still re tains something of the strong resinous odor for which it is famous. A specimen of ivesia Gordoni, nearly allied to tho common five finger, was secured in Colorado at an ele vation of 1.000 feet after a hard day's climb, Dr. Rothrock, the collector, being liiden with a cistern thermometer, rifle and tin botanical box. There are also speci mens of the horkelia, potentilla and a third plant, which were not known until Dr. Rothrook came upon them, all within a space of thirty square feet, in the moun tains of California. Tho presence of a num ber of plants of the sedum rho-liola or house leek variety points a reminiscence of the ico period in North America. Thee specimens in tbo herbarium come respectively from the high mountains of Germany, Labrador, the island of Grand Manan, in the Bay of Fundy; Colorado, Eastern Siberia and the Roan mouutains of South Carolina. The plant only grows in very cold altitudes. The theory is that long ago the ice, moving southward along this continent from tho neighborhood of the North Pole, by cooling the surface of the ground m British America and in tle northern part of what is now the L'nited States, made a path for this Arctic plant to migrate houthward. The ice melted and the surface of the earth grew warm again. The plant had already reached the moun tains of South Carolina, and on the coldest peaks of these it still survives. It has al most entirriy disappeared, however, from the li-je of southern advance. Philadel phia Tunes. discipline Strictly Enforced. A laughable illustration of practice fol lowing theory and precept carried imme diately into example occurred not long since in one of the royal dockyards. The superintendent, a mild but zealous disci plinarian, who is admitted to be thor oughly acquainted with the most insig nificant details of his noble and gallant profession, from the duties of the energetic boatswain to thove of the dignified commander-in-chief, wxs briskly passing a sen tinel, on bis way to his oflicial residence, when he. turned upon the sj-alwart guard ian oTt5mrya5SSRfeRKnsnraTiaMemana ed the reason why he did not challenge him. In vain the sentry declared that ho knew him to ba the superintendent; hfc was emphaticalrrtold his duty was to chal lenge every person who approached him, and, warming with excitement, tho gal lant stzperinten&sit exclaimed: "Challenge alll OhaHedge me, sir!" "Well, then" said tho Bturdy pupil, low ering his musket and bringing it to the charge, I do challenge you. Give the pa role, sirl" And the hasty superintendent, having in tho course of his practical instruction al lowed the parole to slip his memory, was forthwith made a prisoner and driven into the sentry box. So situated, tho worthy preceptor was soon granted another oppor tunity of estimating tho effects of his teach ing. A policeman, passing, demanded why the sentry had imprisoned thegentleman. "You foolish fellow," said he; "why, it is the superintendent!" But the only reply from the sentry was the vociferous demand: "Give the parole!" The policeman, deeming faia uniform to be a sufficient authority for passing the sentry, had also forgotten to learn the pa role, and he, too, was ordered into the sentry box, from which he and his distin guished fellow prisoner were rescued only when the sentry was relieved from his post. London Tit-Bits. English StifEnesi. Dumas the elder often laughed at English stiffness and reserve. Ono of his stories vras this: "One day Victor Hugo and I were incited to dine with the Duke of Ducazes. Among the guests were Lord and Lady Palmeraton of course this happened before the Feb ruary Revolution. At midnight tea was handed round. Victor Hugo and I were sitting side by side, chatting merrily. Lord and Lady Palmerston had arrived very late, and there had, consequently, been no op portunity to introduce us before dinner. After dinner, it seems it was forgotten. English custom, consequently, did not al low us to be addressed by the illustrious couple. All at once young Decazes came up to us and said: " 'My dear Dumas, Lord Palmerston begs you will leave a chair free between you and Victor Hugo.' "I hastened to do as he wished. We moved away from each other, and placed a chair between us. Thereupon Lord Pal merston entered, holding tho hand of his wife, led her up to us, and invited her to sit down on the empty chair all this with out saying a word. " 'My lady,' he said to his wife, Svhat time have you?' "She looked at her watch and answered: " 'Thirty-five past twelve.' " 'Well, then,' said the great minister, remember well that this day, at thirty-five minutes past twelve, you were sitting be tween Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo an honor which you will probably never enjoy again in your lifetime.' "Then he offered his arm again to his wife, and took her back to her seat without saying a word to us, because we had not been presented." Weasels. Tho people of Newfoundland regard the weasel as peculiarly wise and malicious. The following story in support of thi opinion was told to the author of "An American Tramp:" A man who was mowing found a nest of young weasels and carried them off. Tho man and his mate had a pail of milk for their special benefit, and the mate, who was wiser than his partner, noticed "do ould weasel come up to do pail and spit into it three times." "Ah," said he, "you had better take do young ones and put dem back where you found dem, or de ould one will bo sure to do us some hurt." "Well, do man took de young weasels and put dem where ho found dem, and dey went on wid dero work. When de ould one found do young ones all right she came back to do pail, and she never stopped till sho overturned it and spilt de milk. You see sho had spit into it, and she did not want to hurt us since we had not hurt do young ones." An Illbcmlanism. A number of patriotic sons of Erin were seated around a table ono night discussing a little of everything, when one of them began a lamentation over a light weighc silver dollar he had in his pocket. "Th' hid an' th' tail's worn down thot foine ye wouldn't know th' hid from th' tail if it wasn't that th' hid'& always on th' other side." "Got worn thot way by cirkylation?" "So they say; butoi belavesome smar-r-rt divil's tuk a jack plane an shcraped a doime or two off hor for luck. Cirkylation can't wear a dhollar down loiko thot." "It can, too, an' oi'll prove it," said a third. "Have ye got a good dhollar, Din ny?" Dinny, curiously enodgb, had one, and produced it. "Now pass it round th' table." Around it went. "Twicet more." Twice more it went. "Wance more, an' let mo hov it." Once again it circulated, and finally rest ed in the palm of the instigator of the per formance. He then leaned over to tho owner of. the dollar and handed him a sil ver quarter. "Phwat's this?" asked the latter. "Thot's yer dollar." Harper's. Men Who Don't Buy Papers.

SCEBN0E AND PBOGEESS; POPULAR SCIENCE RECREATIONS AND USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. The Forces of Nature Gravity or the At traction of Particles at a Distance from Each Other Forms of Attraction Ap propriately Illustrated, The forces of nature are three in number, viz. : Gravity, cohesion and affinity or chem ical attraction. The first is gravity. Grav ity, or gravitation, is the material attrac tion between tho different portions of matter acting at all distances the forca of attraction being, of course, in proportion to the mass of the bodies respectively. The greatest body, so far as our purposes are concerned, is the earth; hence the attrac tion of the earth is gravity, or what we call weight 5 - fig. l Exprunnnrr illustrating force OP ATTRACTION. We know if we jump from a chair we ohall come to the floor; and if there were nothing between us and the ground suffi cient to sustain the force of tho at tracting power of the earth wo should fall to the earth's surface. In a tea cup the spoon will attract air bubbles and largo "bubbles will attract small ones, until a small mass of bubbles is formed in the center of tho cup of tea. Divide this bubble and tho component parts will rush to the sides of the cup. This form of attraction is illustrated by the ac companying diagrams. Suppose two balls of equal magnitude, A and B (Fig. 1). These being of equal magnitude attract each other with equal force, and will meet, if not opposed, at a point (M) half way be tween tho two. But they do not meet, be cause the attraction of the earth is greater than the attraction they exercise towards each other. But if the size of the balls be different, the attraction of the greater will be more evident, as shown below, where the points of meeting aro indicated respectively (Figs. 2 and 3). These experiments will illustrato the phenomena of falling bodies. Gravity is the cause of this, because every object on the surface of the eartli is smaller than tho earth itself, and therefore all bodies fall towards the center of the earth. A certain time is thus occupied, and we can find the velocity of a falling body easily. jOn the earth a body, if lot fall, will pass through a space sixteen feet in the first second; and as the attraction of the earth still continues upon a body already in rapid motion, this rate of progress must be pro portionately increased. A 5 3 Q- CO. FIG. 1 AND FIG. 2 FORCE OF ATTRACTION. A body falling descends sixteen feet in tho first second, and for every succeeding second assumes greater velocity. Tho dis tance the body travels has been calculated, and the space it passes through has been found to increase in proportion to tho square of the time it takes to fall. For in stance, suppose you drop a stone from tho top of a cliff to tho beach, and it occupies two seconds in falling, if you multiply 2x 2, and the result by sixteen, you will find how high tho cliff is: in this (supposed) case it is (omitting decimals) sixty-four feet high. Tho depth of a well can also bo as certained in the samo way, leaving out tho effect of air resistance. But if we go up in the air the force of gravity will be diminished. The rule for this is that gravity decreases in proportion to the square of the distance. So, if from a certain distance from tho earth's surface tho forco of attraction bo 1, if tho distance bo doubled the attraction will be only one quarter 03 much as it was before not one half. To Itestoro the Color of Gold. To restore tho color of gold after hard soldering is quito a trick, according to Tho Jeweler's Circular, which recommends tho following as the simplest and easiest pro cess for so doing: Expose all parts of tho article to a uniform heat, allow the articlo to cool, then boil it until bright, in a picklo made with about one-eigV.h ounco of sul phuric acid to one ounco of rain water. Another way is to first pickle, then color. Anneal and boil in a pickle mado of nitric acid and water, then again anneal black, and dip in coloring mixture mado as fol lows: Put into tho coloring pot, or a No. 10 black lead crucible, 9 ozs. 12 dwts. of salt peter and 4 ozs. 15 dwts. of table salt. Heat it up without water, then add hot water enough to make n thick paste; let it boil, add G 1-2 ozs. of muriatic acid and stir it up welL In using, keep up a quick and lively fire, and tho mixture should boil up till it fills the crucible which should havo been previously well annealed to avoid breaking. The mixture removes more or less of the gold, and the operation should therefore be performed as quickly as possi ble. With good gold, one and one-half to two minutes will be long enough to expose it in tho mixture. The article should bo constantly stirred about, taking care not to let any of the surface get out of color, as the vapors will affect the work. Then rinse it in a pickle, dip in hot water, and dry thoroughly in hot sawdust. This color may be used with gold ranging between 12 and 20 carats fine, but the finest coloring can be got with about 15 carat gold. If not thoroughly dried, the work is liable to becomo spotted.

Hoping with the Lariat. In the matter of authentic records for roping with the lariat, ncna probably exist. One hundred and sixteen feet has been claimed for a California man now travel ing with Buffalo Bill's show, while ninety four feet has been published for a Biilings (Mons.) man, but both of these records are preposterous.
