A gentleman in Brooklyn, celebrating the birth of a daughter on the day of the open- ing of the bridge, proposed to call her Vic- toria, in honor of the Queen's birthday, whereupon a friend (not an Alderman) sug- gested that a more appropriate name would be Bridget.

Juit after dusk one recent evening the passengers in a horse car were puzzled and greatly amused by the queer actions of two strange horses. As the car was coming down the avenue two unharnessed horses were ob- served to come from a side street and trot after the car, keeping their noses close to the rear dash. The conductor tried to drive the animals away, but they kept on, in spite of every effort, to the end of the line, sever- al passengers, among them a clergyman, re- maining on board to see the upshot of the novel chase. As the car started on the re- turn trip the two horses followed. After a time the driver chased one ofl^, but the other horse kept resolutely on after the car, stop- ping when it was stopped, but promptly jog- ging on when it started. Some of the pas- sengers suggested that the horses had for- merly drawn horse cars, but had been sold, and, getting loess, had, through force of habit, followed the first car they met, know- ing that they would get a square meal after the night's work was finished. One of the gentlemen who was on the car said that it was a mystery where the horses came from. He was puzzled to aqgount forthis action, for he had not met any one who had ever heard of such a strange proceeding by horses.â€" Newark Call. A Mncb-Pelted Earth. People are so accustomed to looking upon the earth as practically the only material body in the universe, and upon the sky as the realm of unsubstantial phenomena, that it must seem to many a startling thought that our globe is not only literally pelted with meteoric stones, but that as it advances with the sun in his long voyage through space it becomes covered, like any other traveller, with the dust of the journey drifting in upon it from outer and apparently empty space. •-• â€" «^ » â€" ^-»- Mostly out " Your sin will surely find vou out 'â-  said a pastor, sadly, to a drunken Lem£ of his floor " Well," was the thick ^ply. "hi guess-hic-she, won't be very livelyâ€" hic-ter find me in. FuUv to understand a grand and beautiful thought requires, perhaps, as much tune as to conceive it. ttCIXMTiyiC OMSZP. A fatal cutaneous disease is prodaeel in rodents by the "Falvns fungus," or ths Anchorion gehlocenlinii, as they are called. -It-has been stated by a chemist that'Jieat- i,-.oA:."V-'.- *«,!»)*' ,,'-H,J' J..iI,Li."' ing to 120° Centigrade is enough to clear Turkey reds which have b«»En dyed in the presence of a snlpholeate. Beet-root sugar is now admitted to be quite distinct from cane sugar. Its sweeten- ing power is 30 per cent, lower at least, but its polarizing power ia greater. Mr. H. C. Harvey mentions the case of a cat that has become quite blind from cata- ract, but is still ablf to do mousing and to make journeys from and to home. Pasteur ha? studied the pneumo-enterite of I'igs, which has carried off last year in the Valley of the Rhone alone more than 20,000 swine. He traces the affection to microbia. Crude honey has been found to keep far better than the clarified kind, but the ad- dition of about 1 per cent, of oxalic acid will do no harm to the honey, but will improve it. A Polish newspaper says that a rich land proprietor who is liviug in Plotzle has ap- plied to the Government for permission to build a raih-oad between that place and the fortress of Novogeorgievsk â€" a capital name for a terminus. An artificial leather, seys the Engineering, mixed wi:h from 5 to 10 per cent, of sinew and pressed into sheets like ordinary leather card-board, has been recently made in Ger- many. Both materials are made separately. The leather pieces are washed, cut, boiled in alkaline lye, torn, neutralized with hy- drochloric acid, and finally carefully washed once more to remove all traces of acid. The sinews are treated similarly, but steamed in an acid bath until they are like glue. When thus prepared the materials are mix- ed, pressed into sheets, moistened on both sides with a concentrated solution of alum, and the upper surface is at last given a thin coat of caoucchouc in solution with carbon bisulphide. And so the bogus Lord Cantyre has been divorced from the lady whom he married â€" or rather, to speak more exactly, their mar- riage has been annulled and declar. d by the courts to have been invalid from the begin- ning. Our readers will doubtless all remem- ber â€" we are sure our lady readers v ill â€" how a young Englishman, by the name of Allen, met Miss ChafFey in Paris and followed her here visiting at her guardian's residence â€" that of Judge Sinkler, of Perth â€" and how, takin? advantage of a company going to the carnival at Montreal last winter, they were married in that city. Allen had to Miss Chaffey and her friends passed himself off as a Lord Cantyre, and the title doulnless added to his attractions. That she was possessed of about a quarter of a million, added, perhaps, to hers. Anyway, a young lawyer in Montreal passed the bogus lord through, and with the cabman became surety, on getting the license a clergymen performed the service, and they were pro- nounced man and wife. The legal infor- mality now proves to have been the want of consent of her guardians â€" she being a minor. The whole case shows the unsatis- factory state of the marriage law, especially in Quebec. Even here, however, it will stand amendment in the direction that this bogus Lord Cantyre case indicates. Advance Step in Dentistry. Havana, Cuba.â€" The most popular den- tist of this city. Dr. D. Francisco Garcia, member of the Royal University, states that in all cases of troublesome neuralgia, arising from the teeth, his patrons are recommend- ed to use St. Jacobs Oil, and the most satis- factory cures have followed. It is a specific for toothache, earache, bodily pains, and proof against household accidents. A young minister named Stocking was presented by his wife with a pair of socks last week. Donations are being received by the ladies of his church to buy him a hose carriage. PIANOS. puBOfl, anooitbe "Ne A VABIKTY OF THE â-  celebrated " Knabe* „ewcombe" pianos.
