, THE IiITTLE BXOWN MUIJK.
There is a 'celebrated case" in Iron county,
Mo., which has at last been brought to an end.
It was all about the ownership of a little brown
mule, worth about $60. It had been pedduig
for years and had been tried mny times in
different courts. There were Beventy-fiye-wiW
nesses subpomaed in the case, and the oosts in
the last trial amounted to $60Q. I The other,
celebrated mule case1 that of "forty acres and
a mule" is still on the docket. ':TSJzj;i:
ANOTHER EXPEDITION. '. . . ' ?
The Canadian Government intends to send
out an expedition to- explore. Hudson's Bay
about the end of August. It seems odd that
this has not been done before. It would ap
pear reasonable to . suppose that the large
section of country around this vast inland sea
would be valuable for settlers. One tithe of
the money spent on North Pole expeditions, if
r.pplied in this direction, Plight have been some
benefit to the world in a commercial way.
A NEW PENSION BOX.
- There is a new pension bill now under con
sideration before Congress to give pensions to
women who had married veterans of the Mexi
can war, and afterwards became widows. The
disposition of our wise legislators seems to be
to continually to hunt around for some kind of
a method to dispose of the public funds. 'Why
not make a clean sweep at once, and pension,
everybody who had anything to do with any of
our wars, or were in any wise connected with
any one who had. jU
EDUCATION.
Tho leading educational question of the hoax
is how shall our public schools be directed so
that they shall most effectually aid the cause
of labor? Special schools for tho promotion of
the fine arts are much to! be doeired ; but above
and beyond them, and of paramount import
ance, stand educational institutions in which
the millions otboys and girls growing up inio
manhood and womanhood shall have opportu
nities for familiarizing themselves, to , some
extent, at least, with the practical duties of
'ife.
TELEGRAPHIC
ondon lournal tells of a gentleman who
visited the teiegraph offie. in Old Ik.
not long ago. He was deeirous of ascertaining
how far communications on a single circuit
could be extended. . First the operate connec
ted with a German town, then with Odessa,
then with Teheran, then with Agra, and finally
to the visitor's great delight, with Calcutta,
7,000 miles away. Perhaps if the gentleman
takes good care of his health, bis old age may
find him. chatting through a perfected tele"
phone over an equal, distance.
' . TALlENT.
Talent that is purely physical pays nowadays.
Mrs, Langtry, who cant act a bit, made 50,
000 last year, and Sullivan, who can only fight,
made 100,000. One is tempted, after reading
the later fact, to indulge in a little moralizing
and a .few comparisons. How many mem
bers of the learned professions earned m quar
ter as much? Precious few. It k not surpris
ing that the profession Of pugilism is over
crowded when it presents chances like this on.
which came in Sullivan's way of making a for
tune in a year.
NKTJROPHOBIA.
Neurophobia is the name of a new disease.
It is nothing more nor less than the unaooouni.
able dislike which some people haw for certain
streets, places and objects. It is a common
thing to find in our large cities nervous per
sons, who cannot be induced to go Into certain
streets or to visit certain buildings. They can
give no reason for. their prejudice, but if by
any chance they find themselves in the objec
tionable places, they; fall into paroxysms of
nervous terror. . With women neurophobia
concerning colon is not nnoommon. It is cer
tainly a, peculiar disease. :

"Genuine attar of roses," remarked a New

Australia, oosts f 100 an ounce at the places of

nia, where the distillation of attar could be
mads a very profitable industry. I have seen
hedge-rows near. Samoa a, in . that State, so
dense with these roses that the odor from hem
on a warm, sultry day caused a feeling of peon-
liar faintnesa and oppression in the passer-by.
This is the effect of the attar that isdistihed
by the heat and moist air, and is held suspen
ded, as it were, in the atmosphere."
: BONNETS.' , 4
irormeny nonneta were considered the es
pecial prerogative of women, but circumstances
alter cases, and now horses may don a head
gear very similar to 'that worn by women. ' A
bonnet for the head of a horse oosts but a trifle.
and yet it may be the means of saving the life
of a faithful and valuable animal, besides pro
tecting the poor, creature from a great deal of
needless sunermg. uumanity, as well
policy, demands the providing of bonnets for
all horses subjected to exposure to the melting
rays of a summer's sun. A wetted sponge
under the bonnet . will greatly oon tribute not
only to the horse's comfort, but also to the
safety of his life.
