In modern times there is no one animal that has taken a pre-eminent part in the work of colonization. The sheep, the cow, and the horse have no doubt, in their turn rendered indispensatie assist- ance to the colonist; but none of them has actually determined and pioneered the course of colonization. In the ancient worlds, however, there was a smal! and insignificant animal that may be said to have created a colonizing power, and to have guided and promoted its snbsequent growth. This was the murex, a species of shell-fiah, that yielded to the Pheeni- clans the aplendid purple color with which their famous fabrics were dyed. These creatures were first collected on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean: but, when the supply began to run short, the Pheenicians sought them farther and farther from home. They were thus led from point to point, until they had planted colonies in Asis Minor, in most of the Greek islands, in Sicily, Sardinia, Malta, Minorca, and even as far as the Canaries, while they crept along ths southern coast of Europe as far as Cadiz, and along the northern shores of Africa to the Pillars of Hercules, establishing important cities or factories at many points.

The promise is held out to those who implicitly follow out the pre- scribed regimen that they may attain to the age of 110 years. This, among the most melancholy people of the globe, and to whom one would fancy that life were the less worth living, has aroused considerable enthusiasm. Cooks and kitchens are to be abolished, meat, bread and vegetables are forbidden; existence is to be maintained exclusive- ly upon nuts and bananas. If we compare this with the dietary system of Dickens, which represents that of his period, his comparatively early de- cease will excite no surprise. Accord- ing to English standards, he was an accomplished gastronome. Beefsteak pudding was his ideal, a horrible con- coction only fit for a crude or debased palete. His highest conception of a dinner was a baked leg of mutton with the bone removed and the cavity filled with a stuffing of oysters and veal. This was accompanied with gin punch, in the making of which Dickens took especial pride. It was made as fol- lows: A brass kettle of water was heated over a spirit lamp. Wher the water came to a boil it was poured into a jug, with a bottle of old gin, lumps of sugar, and chips of lemon peel. The mouth of the jug was then closed with a napkin, and the mixture allowed to brew for a certain number of min- utes. Unconscious Mumor,. It is not always safe to resort to set) phrases when wishing to compliment. A story is told of a certain lawyer, ex- tremely studious, but in conversation no- toriously dull, who was showing off his newly built house. The bookworm prided himself especally on a sanctum he had contrived for his own use, so secluded from the rest of the building that he could pore over his books in private, qué) secure from disturbance. ‘“‘And this is capital,’’ exclaimed the ' yisitor, with unconscious irony. ‘Yeu can read and study here all day, and no human being be one bit the wiser."’ Lisle, representin x Ganong Bros., oo fo Ceeteah coseanan tching Eczema. i N.B., says: “Chase i of Prscerenivesa'es ames ce ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Tattersall’s, the famous horse resort, was founded in 1766. The Newmarket races were founded by James IT, in 1667. The skin of the horse is both gloves and shoes. The first English riding academy was founded by William IIT. valuable for | In Christian art the horse symbolizes | goodness and generosity. In the reign of Richard ITI. the use of post horses began in England. The famous Flying Childers in 1744 ran four miles under saddle in 6:48. Virgil says that “the first driver of a four-in-hand was Erichthonius.”’ Close observers declare that the horse really sheds tears when grieved. The hoofs and cartilages of the horse make an excellent quality of glue. In the Southern districts of China horseshoes are made of cane or bamboo. Yew animals possess the sense of smell in a greater degree than the horse. The favorite war horse of the Duke of Wellington was named “Copenhagen.” Wild horses are found in great numbers both in Asia, North and South America. As late as the ninth ceutury European horses were shod only in the winter time. The first horses in New Engiand were introduced into Massachusetts in 1629 o1 1630. The horse in the art of the Roman Cata- combs is an emblem of the swiftness of life. Horse bones make, it is said, an even better grade of button than the bones ol the ox. Queen Elizabeth had the reputation of being the most accomplished equestrienne of her time. It is said by competent persons that over 100,000 horses are every year killed for food in Paris. Assyrian monumental records show that cavalry aud war chariots were used at least 2,500 B.C, The first king in England to establish a royal stable for breeding purposes was Henry VIII. Students of the equine race declare that the mule has all the faults of both his ancestral lines. Itisa tradition among the Jews that Solomon had 40,000 chariot horses and 12,000 cavalry. The Arabian horses have, from the earliest times, been noted for their fleet: ness and endurance. Horseshoeing with iron was unknown in England until introduced after the Norman conquest in 1066. Historians believe that the horse was first domesticatnd either in Central Asia or Northern Africa. Fossil animals, bearing a close resem- blance to our horses, have been found in many parts of the world. The trotting horse is an institution of the present century. Before 1,800 run- ning was the only method of racing. It is said by scientific men that the hair from the tail of the horse is the strongest single animal thread known. In most countries of Europe horses were not employed in agricultural labor until a comparatively recent period. The best known horse of Napoleon was Marengo. From first to iast, Napoleon had niveteen horses shot under him in battle. Asarule, wild horses, thongh not sc large as the doniesticated animals, are more muscular and can better endure pro- tracted labor. AT THE DRY GOODS STORE. — Moired poplin in two-color effects.
