Not long sines I chanced to ait be hind a Kiri at the theater whone coif fure was more interesting from an artiatia standpoint of view than what was going on beyond the footlights. It wns the texture of cobwebs, the dense color of ebony, without the least luster, and It was coiled in a heavy mass above a very white neck. The eyes were blue, and the straight, delicate brows aa dark as the hair. This coloring, naturally anything but ahowy, had the effeot to pale the Ti tian red looks of a fair ladyln the same row, and from its rarity ren dered the possessor an object of much speculation, not to say admiration, to several observers It is singular how qulokly a “novelty" is caught on to, whether the novelty is a pretty girl or a new stylo of gown, but evidently the present generation are wide awake and know a fine thing when they see It SPOILED HIS ORATION. Aa Vnesnellr strong rloch of Sana Made the Corpse hneese on the Mtego. When Mae ready was a young man classloal drama in blank verse held the stags. One of these was “A£mll ius; or the Fell Of Rome." ACmlltus was played by an aotor named I*opo and the exigencies of the play required him to be brought on the stags on a bier, supposedly doad, and Flavius, acted by Maoready, spoke an oration over the body. Pope was an invetur ate snuff-taker, and just before going 6n one night he borrowed a pinch from one of the stage attendants, lie was acoustomod to only a mild invlg orant, but the borrowed tobacco was the fiery Welsh stuff. Pops wss duly breught on the stage by the army of “wpsta" and Maoready began: ‘"Thou last of the Romans, thy bleeding ooun try call* thee in vain. Time and fortune may do their worst Sines thou-—" Here, to Macready's astonishment, Pope’s faoe began to work, and then eame a sneeze from the dead Roman that shook the flics. Maoready started as If shot and the audience began to tlttar, but ha went on: "Since thou hast left us we are now encompassed by enemies who” Here ths oorpso began to show an imation, and then oatna a succession of sneezea Rolling over with rage, and in a voice heard all over the house, Maoready muttered: “Drat your blood, sir, why don't you do your sneezing off the stage?” The audience shouted and the scene ended by the corpse stalking off to find and kill the man who gave him the snuff._ A Itsmarksbls Automaton. A most -wonderful automaton hat recently been privately exhibited In Paris by a rloh old gentleman, who has an inordinate taste for mechani cal toys. The group represents a family of seven kittens, life-sized.and covered with real skin and with eyes of emerald sat in pearly enamel. The group are each engaged In playing upon some sort of a musloal instru ment—a flute, a zither, a violin, a drum, a harp, a horn, a cornet end an accordion. All these instruments harmonize and upon them the me chanical kittens play all kinds of music, inoluding difficult operas. The mechanism is said to be similar to that of a music box. T*he automaton cost 80,000 francs in Persia. Football Comes From China. According to Stewart Culin, curato, of the museum of archteology of the university of Pennsylvania, football originated with tnose beginners of everything, the Chinese. Mr. Culin Is making an exhaustive study of games, ancient and modern, and has a curious and ancient drawing showing a per sonage in the dress of a prime minis ter playing football with a kuge or noble and two of their chamberlaina The time is somewhere in the tenth or eleventh century, but long before then the game was cultivated as an exercise suitable for the training of soldiers. About the eighth century it was introduced into Japan, where it became very popular. From these two countries it spread over the entire world. BhiwxI l eraelt for Charity. The duchess of Santonna, who diet, recently in the deepest poverty at Madrid,spent a fortune in ohsrity.her gifts for half a century back being of the most generous description. On one occasion, hearing that a noble Spanish lady was about to sell her jewels to pay a debt, the duchess sent her a check for $200,000. She died in want, and none of those to whom she had given abundantly thought enough of her to see that her days were ended in comfort. Knew George’s Stutter. She had sent off a telegram and was waiting for am answer. Sud denly the peculiar halting click of the receiving machine sounded in the office, and she said to her com panion: “That’s from George I know; , I can tell his stutter.” NQ'tUINQ'YaiK^m^TER'S It One* Indnosd ilimn (Jordon lie to Halt* o rrMimtn'a Salary. .lumen (Jordon llennett in vary cr rntlo In his movemenU. lie "drops in” upon his brauoh olllces in l’aris or London without any notice bailor want of his coming, and delights to surprise tlio clerks l>y overhauling thoir books and examining their ac counts. On one of these occasions one of the pressmen, a man who had worked for the older Dennett, and was an excellent workman, though guilty of an occasional lapse from sobriety, had a bad black eye and was in a quandary as to what excuse he should offer if Mr. llennett noticed It. Acting on a sudden inspiration lie seized an Ink roller anil rubbed a daub of ink on the side of ills face completely concealing the discolora tion of the skin. Presently Mr. llen nett came into the pressroom, and with the superintendent, John IluyN, went carefully through, criticising every detail, and looking sharply at each employe. When about to leave he turned suddenly, and, pointing to the besmirched pressman, he said: "Mr. Hays, what is that man's name?" Tho culprit quaked in his shoes until Mr. llennett said, slowly: "1 want you to give that man $3 per week more wages; he Is the only man in the room who looks as if he had been working.” PICTURESQUE ECONOMY. Or Mow Kvcrjr Woman Can Bsooms Mar Own laundress. A peculiar appoaranco In tlio front windows of an aristocratic boarding house caused a discussion among passoraby. In oach pane was a square of white muslin with ora* broldorededgen. which was apparently glued to the pane. “That’s a queer way of keeping out the light," observed one citizen i to another. “Must be some now method of deaoratlon," remarked another. “Don’t you know what that is?” said a young woman to her husband, “that's a window laundry.” "And what may that be?" “It’s the way ladies that board wash their fine handkerchiefs. You see, it dries and irons them at the same time." “I see,” answered the young man, “that they adhere like postage stamps, ilow do they do it?" “Oh, you first catch your window, than you wash the panes and place the handkerchief against them, wringing wel They stick like a plaster, and when they come off are smooth as satin. In that way every woman can be her own laundress. ” "I see,” said her husband, thought fully, "why so many families board.” DR. HOLMES’ EXPERIMENT. MU Spirit Glimpses at I he Secret ol Creation. Dr. Holmes once told a dinner party how he once undertook to solve the enigma of creation. Having observed that when unconsciousness is con sciously approached—when the mind Ison the confines of two worlds—there arise sublime and voluminous, but fugacious thoughts, and having satis fied himself that in theso thoughts, if they could only be caught and trans cribed, there lay enshrined the secret of the universe, he determined that by a supreme effort of tho will he would catch and transcribe them. So, placing himself in his arm chair, with pen, ink and paper at hand, he inhaled tho vapor of chloro form. As drowsiness stole over him, and just as unconsciousness was im pending. those sublime and marvel ous thoughts arose, and by a vigorous effort he seized his pen and wrote, he knew not what, for before he had finished he fell back unconscious. When he atvoke, with trembling anx iety, he turned to the sheet of paper, on which he could read in sorawling characters, but quite legible, the se cret of tho universe, written in these words: “A strong Bmell’ of turpen tine pervades the whole.” Things learned at the Morgaa. The old keeper of the morgue in Philadelphia, who has seen hundreds of unknown bodies exhibited for identification has arrived at some in teresting conclusions. If tho face of the dead person is perfectly composed and natural, of course intimate friends or relatives recognize them imme diately. But, he says. If the face is distorted through pain or disfigured by injuries, a casual acquaintance can identify the body much easier than the closest relation. He explains this by saying that people who have known a person well for a long time lose sight of the features and see rather the personality reflected in the lines of the face. A casual acquaint ance notes the features, and can rec ognize them when seen again, even if considerably distorted. So Provision for Cmnr’s Widow*. There is no provision made for the widows of the czars and the grand dukes of Russia, and in consequence all the widows of the members of the imperial family are completely at the mercy of the reigning emperor, who can do as little or as mueh for them as he pleases. The present widowed czarina is entirely dependent on her son. 1 heard that on one occasion she told her father, the king of Denmark, that she knew, if ever she was left a widow, that he would allow her to occupy the room she had used in her girlhood, and that that should be her dower residence. Blowing the Tnuis. Dr. Elvoy in his receutly published memoirs, tells the story that, on one occasion, when the service had been changed to please some visitors, the organ-blower, much offended, said: '“You can play Rogers > in D if you like, but I shall blow Attwood in C” MANNA EATKR8. The Paopl* of Anl>l» and From Fart La Maka It From Tamarlt'c Itraneliaa. Iii seine of the liustorn countries, notably Arabia and Persia. a manna answering closely to that mentioned in the scriptures is still naturully pro duced in Home considerable quantity, says Good Housekeeping. Jt come* from the tender branches of the tama risk, and is known to tho Persians by the name of “tamarisk honey.” It consists of tear-liko drops, which ex ude in’consequence of the puncture of an insect during the months of Juno and July, in the cool of tho morning it is found solidified, and tho congealed tears may lie shaken from tho limbs. 'J'hut, in fact, is one of the methods of gathering manna. Herodotus alludes to tho same nut.-itjious product, so that there is no doubt it has been known in those regions from tho ear liest ages. It is easy to seo how it might bo produced in wonderful quan tities without any special manifesta tion of tho supernatural. It is a sweetish substance, pleasant to tho taste and highly nutritive. Some students of the bible have sup posed tho manna there mentioned to nave been a fungus growth; but while the explanation would be a natural one, tho modification which it would require is an unnecessary one. There are numerous interesting things, nevertheless, ubout the various kinds of fungi, which modern experimenta tion has decided to be edible; and not only that, but highly palatable and nutritive. What country boy of an imaginative nature but has frolicked in mimlo warfure with imaginary foes, getting the smoko for his artil lery and infantry from the numerous ••puffballs’’ which a convenient pas ture afforded, while his own lung power furnished the “crash and roar and cheer” for the inspiring contest! Yet science has demonstrated that those very puffballs were onco good to oat—In fact, capable of furnishing the most dainty nourishment. WEAKNESSES OF FAMOUS MEN Many Otnlim Hava Been Deficient In Mental anil Moral Health. Dr. James Weir observes that me chanical geniuses, or those who deal mainly with material facts, do not, as a rule, show any signs of mental de generation. In proof of this, says tho London Public Opinion, ono nood only* instanco Darwin, Galileo, Edison, Maxim, Watt. Kumsey, Howe, etc. It is only the genius of aestheticism, the genius of the emotions, that is gener ally accompanied by unmistakable alga* af degeneration. Swinburne’s poems shew the mental bias of their author, who is described as peouliar and eccentric. Many of the men who have aided in making tho world’s history, were vic tims of epilepsy, as was Julius Ciesar, military leader, statesman and author. Manv men of genius have sufferedfrom choleric and spasmodic movements, notably Lcnau, Montes quieu, BufTon, Dr. Johnson, Thomas Campbell. Napoleon and Socrates. Suicide, essentially a symptom of men tal disorder, has carried off many a inan of genius, including such immor tals as Chatterton, Blount, Haydon, Clive and David. Alcoholism and morphinism are now regarded as evi dences of degeneration, and have had as victims Coleridge, Sheridan, Steele, Addison, Hoffman, Charles Lamb, Burns and many others. In men of genius tho moral sense is sometimes obtunded or absent. Sallust, Soneca and Bacon were suspected felons; Rousseau, Byron, Foscola and Caresa wore grossly immoral, and Casanova, the gifted mathematician, was a com mon swindler. The Sparrow hawk. There is a remarkable charm in the swift, agile, wheeling flight of the American sparrowhawk, that justifies Tennyson’s lino, “Sometimes the spar rowhawk wheels along. ’’ The bird has powerful wings, and its poising, turning and wheeling in a high wind form a beautiful display of aerial gymnastics. The hawk rises in the face of a strong wind with an easy, graoeful, wheeling flight, all aslant, yields to tho impulse from without for a second or two, and then, gaining complete control of itself, soars away as if the atmosphere were perfectly still._ A Political Motto. “My friend,” said the truly patri otic citizen, "you are becoming prom inent in polities.” “That I am,” replied the local leader. “I trust that you will adopt as your motto the good old phrase, ‘Be sure you’re right, and then go ahead.’” “Not exactly, though you are guessing purty close.

Considerable interest is being mani fested in regard to the luncheons pro vided at recess for the boys and girls I in the high schools. At almost every j higli school in the city the majority j of tho pupils buy their luncheons from tho lunch counter kept by tho janitor, soys the Boston Transcript, and the ' food so provided consists largely of pics and cakes—‘'bakehouse stuff,” as some people call it—and pickles. The janitor keeps that kind of food because the pupils will buy it in preference to any more wholesome kinds, and also because there is probably more pro.'it in it. Nevertheless, tho paronts of the j pupils are anxious that some different system may bo adopted in tho matter of furnishing luncheons. They think it high time that something was done about it, for in schools where there are no lunch countors, peddlers of cheap candy, cocoanut cako and other unwholesome compounds make their appeuranco at recess, and are general ly well patronized by the hungry boys and girls. 1 he first official stop toward better ing this state of things was taken whon an order was passed by the school board providing that ail ! luncheons sold in the public schools should bo such as are approved by the committee on hygione and physical j training. Moreover, the committee was instructed to report at the next mooting of the board a plan for pro viding suitable luncheons at proper places for the high school pupils. Just what the committee intends to do is hard to say, but several persons , interested are hoping that it wiH be able to make some arrangements with the New England kitchen whereby soups, sandwiohos, milk and other wholesome articles of food may be furnished directly to the pupils at moderate prices. The kitchon has its main station on Pleasant street, and another station at the North End. It is thought that soups might be carried from the kitchen to the schools in tanks, just as coiToe is sometimes transported, and in that way might be served hot. Such a system of pro viding luncheons would be more favor able to tho health of the pupils, and therefore more acceptable to the parents. As for the old system, the janitors aro not thought to merit any blame, for they simply provided what the pupils buy; but now that the com mittee has taken tho mattor in hand, it is likely that most pupils will give up tho practice of making a luncheon on an eolalr, a piece of pie or a picklo. GUARD AND CONDUCTOR. Difference llotween Dosses of Eagllnh and American Railroad Trains. The guard is found on the station platforms, whero he looks at your ticket, opens and closes the door of tho compartment, will try to see you well placed according to your class, then hops into his van and goes with the train on your journey. He is by rio means the important person that tho conductor is in the United States, says Colonel H. (>. Prout in Scribner’s Magazine, for ho has no opportunity to sit with the passengers, to talk politics, or horses, or railroads. Ho never rises to the rank of captain, as all conductors do in our Southern states. He may become a Knight Templar for all I know, but I never saw him with his waistcoat ablaze with the symbols of that order which so often decorate our own conductors. Doubtless in private life he is a man of influence in his neighborhood, but on duty he is a quiet servant, and his relations with the public are purely those of business. He is a tidy man in blue cloth uni form with white metal buttons, and often wears a broad patent-leather Btrap over one shoulder with white buckle and ornaments. He some times carries a small bag, presumably for suoh papers as ho noeds to have, and is provided with a green flag to wave to the engineman as a signal to start the train. Altogether he is a simple, efficient and civil official, and just here is a striking contrast bo tween the men of the two countries. On the English railroads one never sees tho conductor or ticket-seller who scorns you if you ask a question, and gives the minimum of information with tho maximum of brusquoness: and one never sees the usher who stands in tho gateway and bellows in inarticulate pride, then turns a quid in his cheek and squirts tobacco juice into a corner. Mio Did v. orry. The lawyer, who had been married for only a year, sent word to his wife that he had been suddenly called to Milwaukee. “I will be back to-mor row,” he wrote. "Don’t worry. My stenographer goes with me.” But did she worry. When he reached home next evening her eyes were red from weeping, and as soon as she saw him she broke down again. ‘‘Oh. how could you?” she sobbed. .“What’s the matter?” he demanded. “Your stenographer —” she began, and again she sobbed. “What’s the matter with him?” “H'm.
