SUDDEN WHITE HAIR.
Whcntlic Emperor Leopold wa. about
to make hi grand entry into Vienna the
old ftexlon ot St Joph1 Cathedral wu
much troubled in his mind. Upon ouch
occasions it had been his custom to take
his Htand on the pinnacle of the tower
and wave a flag as the Imperial pageant
p:vhed by; but he felt that age had so
weakened his nerve that he dared not
again attempt the perilous performance.
Alter thinking the matter over, became
to the conclusion that he must bud a
substitute; aild knowing his pretty
daughter had plenty of stalwart suitors,
the old fellow publicly announced that
the man who could take his place sue
cessfulh Khould be his son-in-law. To
his intense disgust, the offer was at once
accepted by Gabriel 1'etersheim, his j
special aversion, and the special favorite
of the girl, who saw not with her fa
ther's uyes. On the appointed day Vi
enna opened its gates to the new-made
Emperor; but it was evening, or near
upon evening, when the young llag
lwsarer welcomed the proccsien from
St- Joseph1 Tower. J lis task per
formed, Gabriel would have descended
from the airy height, but found his way
barred. Two wretches had done the
treacherous acxUm's bidding, and closed
the trapdoor of the unper sta'rway.
leaving the brave youth, to choose be
tween precipitating himself on the pave
ment below, or clinging the cold night
through to the slender spire, with but
ten inches of foothold. He chose possi
ble life to certain death; but when res
cue came with the morning, his eyes
were sunken and dim, his cheeks yellow
and wrinkled, his curly locks as white
as snow. fJabrlel I'utershcim had won
his bride at a feat fill cost.
Helieviiig a fortune might bo easily
won in the oil-country, ayoung Boston
inn went thcro to enrich himself. One
stormy night a glare in the sky told him
that an oil-tnuk was on lire a few miles
oil; and knowing that after a time the
oil would boil up and How over thu
hide of the tank, lie made for a hill to
witness the spectacle. "She's com
ing!" a man shouted. There was a
i umbling sound, and then the burning
oil shot up from the tank, boiled over
its sides, and lloated down thu creek,
destroying everything in its way, and
setting lire to a second tank. Curiosity
getting the better of discretion, ho ran
to the ground in the rear of the tanks,
to get a better view, and in trying to
avoid a pool of burning oil, fell into a
mudhole, and hturk fast therein.
Struggling till he could struggle no
longer, ho lay back exhausted, watch
ing the billows of smoke surging up
ward and floating away into space.
Suddenly his ears were startled by the
sound of cannon-lirinir; a column of
flame and smoko shot up from one of
the tanks, and he was stricken almost
cnscles with the knowledge that the
"pipe-line men" were cannonading the
lirst tank, to draw off the oil, ami so
prevent another overflow. Ho tried to
shout, but the word would not come. A
little htrcam of burning oil ran slowly
but surely toward him. He watched it
creeping'on until it was almost upon
him; then in a moment all was dark.
SVhen ho camo back to consciousness,
ho found himself in his own room, sur
rounded bj' "the boys," who had seen
liim just in time to save him. It was a
weary while before ho was himself again,
and then he was inclined to doubt If he
was himself, for his once dark hair was
perfectly white.
Instances have not been wanting of
the hair being deprived of its color in a
few minutes. The home-coming of the
King of Naples after the Congress of
Laybach was celebrated with much pub
lic rejoicing. To do the o -caMon honor,
Ihe manager of the San Carlo Theater
produced a grand mythological pageant,
in which an af terw ard well-known opera
ringer made his debut in the character
of Jupiter. The stagc-thundjr rolled,
the stage-lightning flashed, as tho
Olympian monarch descended on his
cloud-supported throne. Suddenly,
screams of horror rang through the
house; the Queen fainted, and all was
uproar and consternation, until the
voice of the King was heard above the
din, crying: If any one shouts or
screams again, I'll have that perron
shot!" Something had gone wrong with
.the machinery before the clouds had de
scended ten feet, and Jupiter had fallen
through. Fortunately, a strong iron
wire or rope caught his cloak, and, un
coiling with his weight, let him down by
degrees. But a workman falling with
him was impaled upon a strong iron
spike supporting the scenery. In ten
minutes or so the' reached tlie ground,
tho workman dead, the singer dazed,
but able to thank Heaven on his knees
for his escape; and then the awe-stricken
people saw that the black-haired
deity had become transformed into a
white-haired mortal, whose youthful
features formed a strange contrast to
their venerable-looking crown.
Staff-Surgeon Parry, while serving in
India during the mutiny, saw a strange
light. Among the prisoners taken in a
sklrmu-k at Chsmda was a sepoy of the
Bengal army. He was brought before
the authorities and put to the question.
Fully alive to his position, the Bengalee
stood almost stupefied with fear, trem
bling greatlv, with horror and despair
plainly depicted on his countenance.
While the examination was proceeding,
tfec bystanders were startled by the Ser
geant in charge of the prisoner exclaim
ing: " He is turning gray!" All eyc3
were turned on the unfortunate man.

This Irinhjcld business prevails every
wheie and under all circumstances. I
have frequently seen pa-sengers in the
street cats give the conductor a little
remembrance when he collected their
fares, and they did not expect anything
in return for it, either. Nor was the
money bestowed in a benevolent spirit,
for the donor alwavs sank back in his
scat with a self-atislied expression, and
received the touch of the conductor's
cap and his murmured thanks in a man
ner that gave one an unpleasant sug
gestion of patroni.ing. Nor can the
bestower of Irinkjvld under such cir
cumstances refrain from stealing a hur
ried and almost supercilious glance
around the car at tho other passengers
to see if they have observed his liberal
ity and appreciate it. 1 have been told
though J have had no personal ex
perience that it is customary to givo
the ushers in the churches a couple of
cents, or so, when they show you to
your seat. It reminds one of the "money-changers
in the temple." A German
is brought up with tho sound of friil
ycld always ringing in his ears. Ho
sees it on all sitles; "every gale that
sweeps from the North brings to his
ears the clink of resounding pfennings."

really beautiful effigies of the King and

soft, mellow light streaming in through
the beautiful colored-glass windows, aud

wo unconsciously fell into that frame of

judge his worst enemy rather leniently,

in whispers the probability of the distinguished-looking

Mich as is felt on a railroad when the
brakes are applied. The water IxMiig a
yielding body, acts as a pring or cush
ion. 1 or foirirv tveather or darknevs a
elf-actiug gua'rd is rigged out at the
bow of the vessel, and MiouliI it meet ,

ship when tduched. it at once releases
the "tins" and stops the ve sel tsforu
it can reach the obitruction. without
any movement or direction on the jiart
of the pilot or navigating officer. hen
closed tlie fins follow the outline of the
fihip, and, being flush with its side,
can in no way diminish its speed. The
inventor's first experiment was made
with a 37j foot fast steam yacht, to
which was attached a pair of "fins " -1
feet long by '' feet w.de. This power
proved to be at least twice as much as
was needed to stop the vessel instantly
when at full speed. A second trial
demonstrated this fact when only ono
fin was used. The spa"o traveled after
the brake was applied was so small th.it
it could not be disjoined by persons
watching tho experiment from the
shore.
To ascertain what sized fins would be
required to stop a certain steamship of
fourteen hundred tons measurement a
a raft or float was constructed to carry
a jHiir of fins in position without fixing
them to a vessel. Tho float and tins
were towed out by a powerful tugboat,
being attached thereto bv a new six
inch manila hawser. When the tug
boat was going at full sjieed with full
steam on the fins were released and the
effect was" to snap the hawser like a
piece of thread, making a report like a
cannon. The fins remained firm. The
breaking strain of a six-inch hawser is
said to bo twenty-seven thousand
pounds. The fins ued on this occasion
were each U.8 feet, or together an area
of 141 square feet. When they were
tried with thu fourteen hundred-ton
vessel they proved abundantly large,
stopping tho shin instantly and holding
her fast against her jniwer within a less
distance than live feet.
In the opinion of tho inventor a col
lision like that of tho Stonington aud
Narragan-ctt could have been averted if
the steamers had been provided with
tho brakes. The Stonington the col
liding vessel had several minutes in
which to stop. Tho samo number of
seconds would have been sufficient with
the brake to bring her to a standstill.
Another case in point was the loss of tho
steamship Bohemian, which was
wrecked on the southern point of Mi.
zen Head by collision with rocks. Out of
fifty-seven persons on board thirty-five
perished, including tho officers. One
of the survivors stated in evidence that
he was on the lookout anil gavo warn
ing of "breakers ahead" ten minutes
before tho steamer struck. JV. J.

Sitiunicr Bonnets.
White bonnets prevail for dress this
.summer. Of seven new hats iirepared
for a young lady's outfit for Newport,
live wcro white, the sixth was a blue
coaching hat trimmed with terra-cotta
roses, and tho seventh was a large
brown Mraw hat for traveling. Of the
live white bonnets, two were very small
capotes, one was an English poke, and
two were largo round hats. One of the
capotos is of pearl lace, pearl beads and
crushed pink roses, while the other is
Tuscan straw, with a chaudron velvet
Alsacian bow and strings, anil a cluster
of salmon-colored carnations on the
left side. The English poke of fine
Milan straw had ficelle lace and butter
cups for garniture. The largest round
hat, shelving downward on the forehead,
was of split straw, trimmed with many
whito ostrich feathers anil a scarf of em
broidered white silk muslin, whilo the
othor. of Manila, hail long thick cream
and yellow plumes.
Tho crinkled silk China crape and
white silk muslin, with embroidered
dots, threroils. diamonds and rin5, are
the favorite scarfs for fine straw hats,
anil are alio used in small bonnets. Tho
muslin is cut bias, and is paved around
tho crown in full yet of t and flat folds.
This may bo accompanied by either
flowers or feathers, but flou'ers and
feathers seldom appear on the same hat
The ostrich plumes now ucd are all
what are called "made plumes:" that is.
they are doubled or tripled in order, to
have them very full, and this fullnes?
does away with the necessity of having
them very much curled; hence they are
as useful after baing moistened or at the
sea-side as elsewhere. The dcmi-long
plumes and short thick tips are more
useful for tho present styles of trimming
than very long Mcrcutio plumes. Breast
leathers with the head attached arc very
stylish for trimming the straw and vel
vet turbans that arc worn this summer,
but wings are no longer in favor. Tho
strippeu coquc plumes mounted like
breasts are called sea-side feathers be
cause they are perfectly straight, yet
quite full, and have no curl to be taken
out by dampness. Another made feath
er useful in all temperatures has che
nille mixed with the tips of ostrich
feathers. F'or tine flowers, carnations
are shown in a single bunch with long
Metns, costing ten dollars the cluster.
These are of the fashionable salmon
shades, and are u-ed on black and on
white bonnets. There are also velvet
pansics in clusters, at the-same prices,
showing only the darkest purple, yel
low and red coloring seen in the choicest
specimens of this lovely Cower. Lilacs
are coming into the favor already shown
them in Paris, for there arc entire bon
nets of the palest pinkish lilacs stripped
from the stalk, aad their only contrast
of color a Tel vet binding -of wood
brown, with two neks of narrow
strings one pair of the brown velvet,
aad the other of the pale pinkish lilae

mings for the country "hats of line split

When the large rough-and-ready straw
hats are chosen, the trimming is plain
white mull, or else, dotted muslin with a
1 tile velvet added to givo tone, or eLse
some uarK poppies in cinnamon reu
shades or it may be a bunch of fruit.
Many small pins with gilt, or pearl, or
eolored glas beads pin the mull scarf
on the hat, or else they are stuck in the
loop of a very large Alsacian bow that
has Oriental lace across its emLs. The
large round hats w.th straight brims are
preferred to pokes for shade hats in tho
country. For traveling, tho hoice is
for dark straw large round hats for
young ladies, while for those who are
older are small capotes of cream or of
bla-k rough-aud-roady straw that arc
sold for fifty cents, and are then
trimmed with a dark velvet bow and
strings, and a cluster of small flowers on
th" left side. The dotted muslin hats
with a kcrJiiof over the crown are pret
ty for mornings in the country, and are
.sold for .2.."i0 each.
Ch.ldren's h its have wider brims than
at any previous season, and these brims
are rolled upward a trifle all around.
The favorite colors are dark red and ta
det blue, which is grayish, but there are
also many Manila straws worn, with a
velvet fa -ing of becoming color inside
the brim. A cluster of pompons next
the crown, a band, bow and long ends
behind of satin ribbon, and a moss ruche
1 ke the s Ik of the pompous edging tho

Mistaken for a Ghost.
A number of ladies and gentlemen re
siding in Baltimore City and County a
few evenings ago determined to give
one of their number, living in the upper
end of Baltimore County, a pleasant
surprise in thoshapcof a phantom party.
Accordingly each lady and gentleman
.secured a white robe and mask, a largo
'bus was engaged, and the musicians
were hired. Iliey started, a merry,
laughing crowd, for their destination,
about seventeen miles distant from
Baltimore. When within a half mile of
their friend's house the 'bus stopped,
and the ladies and gentleman donned
their lung, flowing whito robes and
masVs, which were slipped over their
.street costumes. They then drove on
to tho hous and were' admitted by ono
of the Aoung lady members of the faiui
lv, who had been previously notified of
the proposed party. The other mem
bers of the family were oon in the par
lor and hospitably welcomed their
white-robbed visitors Dancing was at
once begun, and kept up without inter
minion until eleven o'clock, when they
were all invited to partako of the supper
which had been prepared for them. Di
rectly after. supper one of the young ladies
from" Baltimore, feeling the room. rather
warm, walked out on the front porch.
Whilo standing there a sudden desire to
explore around the grounds of the
house took possession of her, and for
getting that she was still covered with
her long whito robe, she walked down
tho carriage-drive in the direction of tho
fate. She had not proceeded over a
hundred yards when those who were in
the hou-e heard two pistol shots fired
in quick succession, accompanied by a
woman's scream. All rushed from the
house in the direction from which tho
sound was heard, and they found the
voting lady lying in the road, apparent
ly lifeless." She was carried into the
house and an examination was made,
when it was found that she had not
been shot but had fainted from fright
She regained consciousness after an
hour's struggle between life and death,
and is still confined to her bed from
nervous prostration. It wa3 not found
out until the next morning who had fired
the shots, and then the occupants of the
houe miscd an old family servant, called
Ezekicl, who hat! gone home the even
ing before to see his wife, and who
promised to return at twelve o'clock the
same night, but failed to put in an ap
pearance. A messenger was sent to hU
house, about a mile distant from the
main house. Tho messenger, upon ar
riving at the house, found the old man
in bed, and no amount of persuasion
could induce him to leave it. He said
he had seen a ghost the night previous,
and he was never going out of the house
again. When questioned he said he
had started on the night previous about
11:30 for his employer's house, and
when nearly there he saw a ghost. He
was so frightened that bo drew a pistol
and fired at it twice, and then ran all
the way home. On being told that it
was not a ghot bnt a young lady, and
that he had nearly killed her, he was
more frightened than ever, and prayed
to the Good Man to kill him right there.
When the robe worn by the young lady
was examined it was found that oae of
the bullets had passed through the hood
and another through the sleeve. At the
request of the young lady the colored
man was not arrested, aa'd the whole
affair has been kept very qaiet. Bmti

An Idea Worth Adopting.
The water supply abroad U so often
of a doubtful character that travelers
have resorted to the prudent expedient
of drinking only some well-known min
eral water. Thereupon a large trade
has been done in the purchase from raz
and bottle merchants of nch foinerai
water bottle as Mill bore the labels in a
fairly good con litior. It was then tray
to fill them w.th onlinarv and possibly
contaminated water, adding alt to gve
the taste and appearance of the dejired
mineral spring. By this fraud the con
sumer was n A. merely robbed but made
to drink the very water he was doing
his best to avoi'd. Wc are therefore
pleased to note that in France at least
the Prefect of Police has adopted ener
getic measures to check this abuse.
Orders have been given to visit all de
pots of mineral waters, to seize hap
hazard a secimen and analyze it on the
spot. The tradesmen will alo be called
upon to exhibit their invoices to prove
whence their stock is derivetL Not only
are the stores of wholesale agents or
dealers to be thus inspected, but the re
tailers, the cafe restauraat aad puBlie
house keepers will be subjected to as
cqcallv vigorous supervision, and all
Teadefs of each fakiticatioas will be lia
