Suspended Animation.

About threo years ago a somewhat startling announcement, emanatiog from the " Bris bane Courier," was made in the london "Times" and many other newspapers thwugbout the world. Thla waa to the effoct that " a certain Signor Rotura has found out a method of suspending animation in living bodies for an indefinite timo, and of bringing them to life again whenever he likes, unless ceitain accidental circum stances prevent the success of the experi ment in hand." Shortly afterwards, a paper, written by the well-known Dr. Ben jamin Ward Richardson, appeared in a scientific periodioal (" Nntnro " 29ih May 1879.) He in it pointed out tho substances known to science as capable of suspending animation; and, although he expressed his suspicion that the account was fictitious (as it was afterwards proved to be), he was not sorry it had appeared, as it might direct attention to the subject, anil because It afforded him an opportunity of relating how far human knowledge had beea advanced by experiments bearing on tbe question "This duty," said he, " though it be but preliminary, is Important as an introduction to those great events whioh in the future aro sure to come from the positive results that have already been secured, and for which the world should bo prepared without anxiety or amazement." Some of his most startling experiments or facts are as follows : - "Yourkittens, a day or two old, that have been drowned in ice-cold water, will recover after two hours' immersion, almost to a certainty, if brought into a dry air at a temperature of 93 deg. Fah, The gen tlest motion of the body will be sufficient to restart tha respiration and therewith the lifo." Two children had been accidentally poisoned .with "deadly nightshade," and were resuscitated by him successfully after seven hours' syncope, " the greatest care being required to detect either the respira tion or the movements of the heart" "Alcohol is another substanoe which hold* the vital functions in suspense for long periods of time, the muscles retaining their excitability." "An intoxicated man foil into tho water through a breakage In the ice at the Welsh Harp Lake, and for more than fifteen minutes was completely imrapned. He was extrioated, and to aU ap pearance dead, but, under artl-oial respira tion, he was restored to consciousness and lived for several hours." Dr R. had, by careful thawing, brought back to active life frozen cold-blooded animals this is extremely difficult, and in afalts is at present impracticable, because it is "next to Impossible to thaw equally and simultaneously all the oolloidal fluids., But we may reasonably hope that the pro gress of Bolence will eventually give man this power. It is doubtful whether " a healthy, warm-blooded animal, suddenly nnd equaUy froaen through all its parts, is dead, although it is not recoverable." The tact is that the lower we go in the vital *oale the easier it seems to be to sus pend animation and restore it successfully, and vice vertA. Tha seeds of various plants may remain dormant for enormous; periods of time, if kept sufficiently diy and secluded from the atmosphere. Grains of wheat, -to., taken from the wrappers of mummies, at least 3000 years' old, have germinated successfully, as is well known. The eggs of many of the lower animal forms may also " remain dormant for years In cold or dry olimatea, until heat or mois ture awakes them to vlta'ity." Many animals "hibernate" in winter, whilst others "wtivate" during the hot test weather In hot and dry countries- Frogs, awakened by warmth from this state, are said to be capable of remaining eight times longer under water with drown ing than they can during the breeding sea son. If the mud in which frogs and toads generally hibernate should be hardened, it is Impossible to Bay how long they can re tain their dormant life; and, too many well-corroborated stories ot live toads being found embedded in tho solid rock have boon, published, to permit us to treat them contemptuously as mere fables. ' " Comparatively few mammds hiber nate." The phenomena or diseases to which man is liable naturally, analogous to this state, are somnambulism and trance, or catalepsy. To compensate for the great redaction of respiration in such cases, mus cular irritability must proportionately in crease, otherwise asphyxia supervenes. During hibernation vitality is maintained almost wholly by the action of the heart, which will continue for a considerable period even after an animal in this state has boen decapitated. In this condition, (of hiber nation) animals may be placed with Im punity for hours in carbonic acid, or under water, either of which substances would kill them in a few minutoa it in their normal condition. Some individuals haye possessed the power of voluntarily inducing a state of syncope, in whioh neither the heart's action nor any respiratory movement could be de tected, whilst all consciousness and power of motion wore temporarily suspended, though recovery afterwards took place spon taneously. One of the best authenticated cases of this kind was that of Colonel Town send, as described by _r. George Cheyne in his " Treatise on Nervous Diseases." Apart from putrefactioo, thore are not many signs by which real can with certainty bo distinguished from apparent death ; per haps the surest is the condition of the muscles, as these gradually lose thoir irritability after real death, so as to be no longer excitable to contraction by electric or ether stimulation. Col. Townsend had the powe^ at will, of causing his faculties to become so dormant that Dr. Cheyne and two companions once came to the conclusion that he had cairied the experiment too far, and wero satisfied that he was actually dead. Alter half-an bour, however, he spontaneously recovered But some of the most startling instances of suspended animation are those feats of Indian fakeers recorded by Mr Braid and others, which are -_w admitted by eminent physiologists to be in many instances bona JtcU examples of living burial and resuscita tion. Sir Claude Wade, British Political Agent at the Court of Runjeet Sinßh, certified that ho was present at the disinterment of a fakeer at Lahore, after a burial of six weeks, and firmly believed that there was no collusion. The body had been enclosed in a liaen bat, fastened by a string over the head, and this placed in a wooden box secared with a padlock and seal similar lo that on the outside of the building made use of. The bag was found to be mildewed, as if burled for some time. The legs and arms of the body were " shrivelled and stiff, tbe face full, the head recMning on the shoulder like that of a corpse." _ The medi cal gentleman present with Sir C. Wado could find no pulsation in the heart, arm, or temples. Heat and friction were applied, the wax and cotton stopping the nostrils wero]removed, and the mouth forced open, &c. .In half-an-hour ho spoko, and in about an hour Sir Claude aud Runjeet Singh left him, after the latter had given him valuable presents, both being con vinced that no fraud had been practised. This man was, ova subsequent occasions, interred as his own request, under the direc tions of Runjeet Singh. The box contain ing him was locked and scaled, and then deposited in a cell in the building before used, and earth turned in over and around It, trodden down, and sown with barley, Belays of guilds were maintained as before, and twice during the period of interment Runjeet Singh ordered the body to be dug ap, when it was found to be exactly aa when interred, and with animation apparently entirely suspended. At the expiry of a pro longed Interment the fakeer reeovored undor the usual treatment Sir Charles Trovelyan also certifies to the truth of a similar marvol. But, perhaps, the most startling was that of a devotee who, at his own request, was burled in a common grave within cantonment limits, such as was used for the sepoys; he was merely wrapped in a blanket after he had passed into a comatose state, and laid in a grave dug in the ordinary way, three or four feet deep, and the earth then turned in over his body. This was done under the directions of a major of the H.E.1.C.5., who, Relieving the alleged feats to be mere hoaxes, had said, " I snail take care that no tricks shall be played, but that he shall be buried ia good earnest," He ordered a guard of Mussulmans to be placed over the grave, and changed at intervals, so that no Hindoo could approach. After three days the officer became alarmed, and ordered the man to be dug up in his presence, when, to his horror, he found the body cold and stiff. But, after a quarter of an hour's efforts, they were able to open his eyes, though thay wore glassy like those of a corpse. In about an hour he had fairly re covered the use of his physical and mental faculties. V

This state of human hibernation must, of necessity, have" a limit; but what it is has not been ascertained, though there seem no valid reason for doubting that it might be

prolonged, oven under the present conditions of science, for some month-. In cares of asphyxia from hanging or drowning, the continuation of tho hearts notion, whilst that of the lungs is suspended, very soon kills tho patient. Whero, then, incontestable cases have occurred of recovery after submersion for perhaps threo quartets of an hour, it is mppo'ed that a state of syncope (or a suspeiision of the hearts ' action) bad occurred before suhmemon. a» el therefore respiiation had ceased. It is a pity that the Queensland story should have proved to be a silly falsehood, : as no lie is so powerful f.r ovil its that which contains great probability ; and many ' aro apt to conclude that what in ono case was fraudulent must be so iv nil analogous cases Dr Richardson's able and impartial paper was declared, by ono journal, to be undeserving of insorlion in a scientific 1 periodical. Such is only a small share of : the martyrdom to be endured by every ; seeker after truth who presumes to differ fr,om the majority of his follows, or who may be somewhat " before the age." But newish him, and his fellow-investigators all success in this path in spite of pseudo scientific projudioe, aud the dogmatism of the advocates of common senre as the sole gaugo of the possible nnd impossible. Too often " Common seiisa is the name under which men doify their own ignorance" ! —"People's Friend."

The Man in the Moon.

The coLinnon account of tho man in the moon, that he is tbo individual whom tho Israelites stoned forgathering sticks on tho Sabbath, is probably only a modornired version of a much oldor slory. Tho earliest form of the many similar stories seems to bo that the moon aa a man, and a far seeing ono, has a power over mankind which he can exercise at will far their hutt ana pnnishmont. In tho Edda, the moon takes up two children, who wore doing nut hing moro than carrying water-pots on their should-*. In Stvabia, ohildren who look out of tha window are still sometimes cautioned agaiu>t being cariled off by the man in the moon; n»r are thoy allowed, in imitation of tbo bare in tho moon, to make the figure of a hare on tho walla with their fingers, In the same district, tbe sin ot the man in the moon was simply that of working in his vineyard by moonlight; whilst, aooording to auothor version, a woman was taken up for spinning at hor window by moonlight, and her flax and hair may still bo seen ther*. To this day this primitive idea of sin ag.inst tho niooh exists In Swabia, where it is still thought sinful to spin or sow in the moonlight, and it is a common thing to hear it said "Leave off working, or _ou will go to tho moon."

Stories, therefore, of the moou which oon-: nect the punishment of a residence there with offeneos agalust morality or Christian ordinances, may be supgosed to havo loss, antiquity than those which connect it oither with no sin at all or with sin against the moon itself. For instance, suoh stories as the Boheml&a one, that tho moon, having warned a thief against ste.ling pease, took him up when ho persisted In doing so ; or the Tyrolcse aud German tales, that the moon earned off a rascal'who went about at night sticking sheep wi.h a fork, or who held brambles beforo the moon to conceal his theft of a horse, of cabbages, cherries, fish or cheese—seem to bj the adaptation of a more primitive belief to a changed and somewhat^.advanced state of thought rathor than tho expression of the earliest notions on the subject, The further addition to these stories, that the thief or profano Sabbath-breaker boars his load of oabbages or s.icka for all eternity, as an eternal warning to mankind, seems an additional corroboration of this hypothesis. Those and similar Ltcts, such as not pointing at the new moon, are sometimes thought to bo survivals of an old form of moon-worship. But why were the sun and moon worshipped ot all? Surely not so much from their being regarelod as symbols of light, -or fire, or heat, as from human attributes onco ascribed to them with fear aud dread. The belief iv their humanity wonld easily pass into that of their divinity, and with tbat wonld come every form of propitiatory worship and sacrifice, even to the horrible human sacrifices of Mexico, So'late oa the soveuth century St. Eligius found it necessary to preach against the practice of speakiug of tbo moon as our Lord; and a- legcud of Christian times has it that the moon it actually Mary Magdalene, and the spots on her face the tears of her repentaace.—From "Some Solar and Lunar Myths," in the " Cornhill Magazkc."

A Patriarchal Farm in New Mexico.

CON KAFAEii Romero, one of the largest farmers ia America, cultivates an estato of 40,000 acres in New Mexico. He lives in the centre of his property. He has a" large flouring mill furnished, with water by a mill-race from tae Mora River. The build ings on the estate include a barn over one hundred feet long, storage aud warehouses and granaries, a butcher's shop, a slaughter house, a poultry bouse, a olacksmith's shop, tool and repair shops, and tho tenements of eighty "employes, "who, with their families make np a population of nearly three hun dred, all living in feudallsubjectiou to the Spanish aristocrat Of iho 10,000 acres under the irrigation ditches, half is under ihe plough and half reserved for meadow lands. Then there are 5,000 acros of timber land, 5,000 acros of mountain pasture, and a stock range of 20,000 acres, which is to be fenced ie The system ■ of• irrigation em braces fifty miles of ditches and thtet artifi cial lakes, the largest three miles in circum ference. Theso lakes contain great number of suckers, where are excellent food, and treat. Fishing is conducted on a scale corresponding in magnitude to tbe othei farming operations.; A large seine is ' suuk in the lake, mules harnessed to tbe ends, which are carried on shore at either end, and the seioo thus dragged through tbe water, lifting out fish by. the bar relf ul. The chief product of the faun is wheat, which ooyera the larger half of the 3,500 acres on which crops are growing this year. This is threshed out by a thresher of ten horse power and ground into flour in Don Rafael's mill. The average yield is from twenty-five to lorty bushels per acre, while oats yield sixty and barley seventy, i his is a stock ranohe as well as a farm, and Don Rafael intends to fence in his range of 20,000 acres and Increase the number oi his stock.

The "Over Refinement " of Pigs.

PIG breeders are warned by au eminent agricultural authority that tho " over refinement in s.vinc'' is a serious error. "Tho idea of delicacy in the hog," it says, " never entered the mind before tho hog was very materially improved by tho re fining processes which come through careful selection, sorting out as breeders those with fine bone, ear, and hair. The hog should not be bred away from tlio useful ness for which he is kopt when men are not lead away by an overstrained fancy. The hog of good weieht may have brno and ii.int enough to carry him well without this being objectionable In amount; yot whon the bone gets bolow this fair sizo, effimi nacy has taken possession ot the animal in every part, as tho practised eye will sou at a glance. No man who wants a hog for profit will haye_ liia wants fully met until he gets such as'are hardy enough to sta_<! pretty severe cold, some neglect, and bo quite ready to, thrive with plain, evou what would be rough feed for tho exquisitely bred and pampered brig."

A Novel Discussion.

Therb has been au animatid discussion at the Liverpool School Board as to whether novels should bo admitted as part of the school course, and by a majority of one this question has beon decided in the affirmi'.ive. The battle was fought over "Ivaulioe," and the children of Liverpool will at once make acquaintance with*Kcbccca and Bowena, and probably Thackeray's version with Mr Doyle's illustrations will be read in small doses by the lower classes. Tho caricatures and misrepresentation in " Ivanhoo " of the Catholic Church, the distaste for more seri ous and interesting work produced by novel reading, were weighed in the balance against the recommendation of hcrMajesty's luspector, the elevating effect of novel read ing on the mind, and ihe suggestion that good novels nnight keep the childreu from tho piratical penny novelese,-and wero found wanting, There seems at p escnt no great danger to the uiorala of Liverpool children, and if they read Sir Walter Soatt with the same devotion and Intelligence as most youpg people at Eton and Harrow read Euripides it may be seriously doulited if. they \jill have any very precise notions of the plot at the end of the course.

RAMBLES ROUND THE WORLD.

IV.-NIAGARA FALLS.

NIAGARA is getting a bad name. I found the local chaperons and guides to be very of train, and the people generally more extortionate than at other places I have visited. And I overheard several visitors making similar complaints. The rrrcat cascade will doubtless continue to at tract torn ists trom all parts of the world, but something ought to bo done to protect thoir purses from tho harpes of the place. Could not tho Governments of tho Unilod States and Canada combine and tako tbo Falls under thoir control, and so make it easier and less cxpensivo for travellers to visit the celebrated spot, and sco nil that is to bo scon? Tho Now Zoaland Govern ment has wisely dono something of the kind in tho Lnko district, and thereby con ferred great benefit "not alono upon the colonists of Now Zealand, but upon the in habitants of the world ; for every year will add tc the number of people from all coun tries and climes, who will bo attracted by tho wonders of Taupo and tho Terraces, A short tun by train, on tho 12th of August, took mo to n Bmnll settlement ou the banks of Lake Ontario, called Niagara, after tho Falls. During this journey 1 missed tho itropressiblo hawker. I sup pose these peripatetic tradesmon only— shall I say infirh or frequent—tho loug iouriioy trains. It is difficult to detormiuo whether theso itinerant vendora of wares are a benefit or a bane to travellers. The decision would perhaps depend upon the temper and disposition of tho individual travcllor. I fouud thorn a source of amuse tnout. But I can imagine testy old gentlomen ohafing under the ordeal. The bell on tho engine, which an nounces tho departure of the train from tho depot ceasod to sound when au individual—generally slim, slock, closoly-cropped, and clean shaven—makes his appoaranco and hoglns totrado. Ro nmttor whethor you bo ait ting in a smoking-car unemployed, or in a k Pullman'a drawing-room, where smoking Is restricted to a small room at ono end, tho hawker thinks you ought to be " blowing a cloud," and urges you to pur chase a weed. But suppose you are proof against his solicitations, because you havo jour own pipe, or oarry your own Savannas, he is not thereby discouraged, but will assail you from difforont ground. Retiring to somo myatc ious corner whero he has his magazine of supplies, he soon emerges with ft change of programme. He is now c book-worm. The front of his person la concoaled by a pile of books, the baso of which rests in tho palm of ono hand, the topmost volume being kept steady by his chin. With the disongoged hand ho lays a book upon yoar lap, or on the scat by your side. You toll him, porhaps, you aro not bookish. " I don't read while travelling by rail." Ho opens his eyos and fixes upon you a look of mingled pity and rocuko. Adopting a titlo for you ao oordlug to his reading of your costumo— " Doctor" if you bo draped In black; " Colonel" _ yon bo In coloured tweed— "I am sorry to hoar you say you don't read whllo travelling. Most men of dis tinction do. Just look at my list. My boons aro all first-class, by authors of es tablished fame. I guess I've somothing hero that, will suit you. It's the boss book .of iun, and will make you laugh right away." Suiting tho action to tho word, ho bauds you a volume profusely illustrated, and bearing some quaint title. If ho can but persuade you to turn over tho leaves, ho considers he has gained hia point. Xou can hardly refuso to purchase. But por haps you are obdurate ; you cannot be per suaded. Does ho give you up as an in corruptible? By no moanß, He retires iv perfect good, humour, and for a white you see him not. Now, you begiu to flatter yourself, "I'm rid of the fellow; Imaydou little ciuiet-thinking. Confound tho man, here ho is again. This time with a basket ofcaramols and candies. You shako your head. "1 don't cat sweets." Ho ndtnits excuse with n ] sauv.o bow and passes on. But before many minutes havo elap sed, ho is back again with a supply of " fresh figs." In the name of the Prophet, can you resist figs ? In accents sharp, aud tono of rising irritation, you te-U him it is not your custom to sloop on figs. Ho accepts the explanation and retires again : this time with tho alacrity of ono who has •\ new idea. In briefer space than before, he re-appears with the air of a mau who is conscious of having dono his duty, and with an expression of face which socms to say " I havo ma»tcrcd youa idiosyucracy, and havo now the means of captivating your taste Ho coufiJently offers you oranges ond pears. An amusing sense of the ridiculous suppresses your rising wrath. I You succumb; and on condition that he ! shuts up shop nnd molests you no moro you purchase a dimo'a woith ot fruit, lho bit of patronago would give unmitigated pleasuio to the huckster, but for the proviso with which you have encumbered it, You are half inclined to recant, as you pity his louks of distress, while ho tells you that he has a groat variety of goods not yet dis played. But of courso if you Insist upon boing left alone, he must hold them over till to-morrow. Such aro the daily expe riences of travellers by rail In America, From Niagara I crossed Lake Ontario, to Toronto. This is one of the most prosperous and progresaivc cities of the Canadian dominion. It was founded in 179(3 by Governor Simcoe, who called it York. Bat when the city was incorporated, its nnmc was changed to Toronto, an Indian word signifying " tho plaoe of meeting." It is litid out in the form of a parallelogram, and ia built with great regularity. The streets are woll paved and lighted, and are exceptionally cloan. 'I here are many fine buildings, particularly tho Lieutenant- Governor's mansion, the Normal School, trinity College, aud the University. Queen's Park Is a delightful resort. It ooinprises ' about fifty acres woU laid out, and is ornamented with a marble statue of Britannia. More than 50 churches adorn the city, and bear testimony to tho generally religious disposition of the inha bitants. 1 was much struck with the oon; traßt between Toronto, Pan Francisco, Chicago, and other large American cities, iv respoet to Sabbath forbearanoe. In the last mentioned places there is a fearful amount of Sabbath desecration. Many of tho shops are open, the streets are thronged with idlers, and the resorts of pleasure are more largely patronised oa Sunday than any other day of tho week. But iv To ronto it is very different. Tho shops are closed; street cars aro not permitted to rue ; ,t few trains arrive, but none are allowed to depart on the Sunday ; the places of wor ship aro well attended, and tho visitor is reminded that he is among a peoplo who have preserved tho tradition of their fore fathers, and who, " Remember the bab bath Day to keep it holy." Toronto has numerous manufactories, and, excepting only Montreal, may be considered tho greatest mirt of Canada. On tho 14th I resumed my journey. Having secured a berth on board the steamer Rapport, for which, in addition to the ordinary faro, I paid iiya dollars -rather an cxnensive night's lodging—l wont on towards Montreal. By daybreak next morning wo were off Kingston, at which point the rivei St. Lawrence begins to bo studded with islands. Kingston may be dismisssd with a few words. Tho Indians called the place " Lataracque ;" and it was first settled by the French in 1612, It ii an important military port. Your readors may havo read of tho Thsusand and perhaps some of them have, like myself, navigated this wonderful river] and placo. But I despair ot conveying by verbal description, to those who have novor visited this romantic region, an adequate idea of its fairy-like at tractions. The steamer winds its way in and out, through iuuumcrablc islands and islets, somo of them mere points of rock that might bo measured by a yard stick; others compassing many acres of ground, covered with trees of various foliago, was presenting a charming appearance. I coulel easily have jumped from tho deck of the steamer on to some of tho islands; we passed so llose. Looking ahead at times, I began to ivonder how wc should get out of the laud locked basin. Further process seemed to be effectually barred by what appeared to be a continuous belt of land. But in round ing ja point, the channel opened, and as by the turn of a kaleidoscope, what appeared it solid shore, was broken into little bits, and we continued our way through clusters of islands of every conceivable shape, size, aud geological formation. On isomoof them wealthy men of the United States and Canada have erected picturesque villas; aud I was told that every year adds to the number ot those whoso means enable them to escape from the crowded haunts of city life during Ihe hot summer months nnd coma to those comparatively 000 l retreats. It is a region suggestive of poetry and romance. ' I am hot surprised that tho Hon. Caleb Lyon re.corded bis impressions in verse. If T were a disoiple lot th? tuneful aine, I should be tempted to

try the poetic vein myself. JBat I am only a copyist. I dare not repeat the entire poem composed by tho honourable gentle man just montioned-it would occupy too much space-but a fow linos wUt suihee to illnstra'.c the scene: tk" The thousand Isles, the thousand ia.los. Dimplod tho wavo around thorn smile s . Kissed by it thousand red-lippod ilowc. »•_ SGommed by a thousand omorald bower.'. A thousand birds thoir priiiscs mako, By rocky glado and plumoy brake; , A thousand cellars fragrant shade Falls whero tho Indian's children played, And fancy's dream my heart beguiles While singing tbeo, tho thousand isles. The islands mostly terminate at Brook ville. When near that settlement our steamor suddenly heeled ever, as if she had touched tho ground. Somothing liko a panic ensued amongt tho passengers; but 1 had been too much accustomod to tho casualties of shipboard to bo grently dis turbed. I ran forward, and soon ascer tained the cause: we had broken the shaft of our engiuo, and wero disabled. Fortu nately, a boat belonging to the same company was within signalling distance Sho came alongside and towed us to 1 res cott. Thero wo loft th. disabled craft, and woro transferred to tho boat that had towed us down, 'lho chango was anything but pleasant. Tho passcngora of tho Magnet already pretty well filled her decks, and when wo of the disabled Passport wore ndded to tha number wo created "joh-« crowd that it was almost impossible to movo. Boaidca this tho unavoidable delay made it too lato for us to shoot the Rapids. This was provoking, as wo had sot our minds on achieving this feat. But the captain of the Maguot said would not bo safe to attempt it at tho lato hour of the ovening. Consequently when we got to La Cbayne, tho settlement which lends its name to the rapids, wo were transferred to a special train, and sent on to Montreal by land, what I aaw thoro must bo reserved for my next.

Tasteful Dresses.

RrrAD attentively about tho following | drestos, for thoy are tho vory latest worn j by a Royal lady of immaculate tasto, on whomlprotty gowns look their vory prottiost. First, a brown vicugna, which is made witb fivo panels on tho skirt, measuring abjut four inches across, and braided in a beautiful duslgu with black mohair braid. Between each panel (tho panels form box pleats,) aro pleats oi the plain cloth. There is a short tunlo edged with similar brulding to tbat on the skirt, 'ihe bodico has a Uttlo waistcoat to match, and there Is braidlog on cither hip, on tho collar, and on tho cuffs. I wonder if this description convoys to you the idea o£ a delightful dress? If not it utterly fails in what it Is intended to do. The scoond dress Is of somo soft material in a new shade of gendarmo bluo, and » trimmod with an uncommon sort of gold braid laid on In perpondioular linos. The waistooat Ib particularly pretty, tho lines of braid widoneng on tho chest, aud becoming narrow and clobo together below and above it. You havo no idea how becoming this

Tha fit upon tho shouldors is unoxcoptiunablo, and thoro in no fulness on tho top of tho dolmnn alcoves, tbo khoulders of tbo lady In question being much too pretty to b. spoiled by any such deformities. The mantlo fits eiuito in at tho waist, and two wido box-ploats stand well out below. Tho sleevos como from tho back and fall ovor tho skirts of tho front in such a way ns to givo porfect freedom to the arms, and yet atlord thorn every possible protection. Tho whole of this lovo of a m-ntlo is lined with a peculiarly soft shade of cardinal satiu, and the ..solo trimmiog consists of tho necessary buttoua, fivo or six only, which fasten it up the lett sido of the chest, lho shapo being doublo breasted.

How he Surprised Them.

It Is said that at somo point in every man's life ha will do Bomethiug to surprise his friends, but a chap in Detroit did moro than tbat tho othoi day. He was a comparative stranger who made his head-quarters in Michigan avenue ealoon, He was old and ragged, and it was not always that ho had a nickel about him. Ho brought in tho fuel for the stove, helped to scrub out, aud was tolerated on account ot his good nature, Kvorybody played him in for a half wit, and no ono dreamed that ha had it In him to create a surpriso, unless it was by re fusing a drink. Two or throe evenings einco, a bay of twolvo years, ragged, barefooted, bare headed, and with the stains of tears oa his cheeks, entered the saloon and softly asked ono of the dozen in thero for a penny to buy bread with. Ho was roughly refused, when up spoko the old man and said : " Gentlemen, here is a poor orphan boy who has asked for monoy lo buy bread, and beon refused. I am only a poor old man, ragged aud hungry and almost ponniless, but I can't stand that. I'vo got a wholo quarter for that poor boy I" That was the hrst surprise. For a minuto no ono spoke. Then eight or ten voices cried in chorus :" So havo 11" and it waa not fivo minutos beforo a purse of ?3 20 was made up for the forlorn ond hungry. The old man toso seventy-fire cent in tho esti mation of theso who knew him, and tho boy cried for some more and went out with tho money. Two minutes later tho old man dropped out, nnd five minutes later ho aud tho boy divided the proceeds under tho gas light on the cornor. It wasn't exactly a whack, for the old chap took 83 and loft tho boy twenty cents. When It was known In the saloon fourteen determined mon rußhod out and cantered up and down, aud declaimed by tho great horn spoon, but they didn't find the big-hearted old tramp whose heatt had been touched, He bad gone to refresh himself with an oyster stew.

Curious Gleanings.

A now religious paper has boon started at Rome called "II Goffredo." Following the practice of some othor journals, it offers premiums to Its subscribers. The premiums aro in tho shape of masßcs, Every subscriber has a right annually to six hundred masses. Periodically lots will bo drawn for the namo of a subscriber to whom sums varying from twenty-two to a thousand francs will bo sent, with the sti pulation that he shall Bpond the monoy In inassos. This Is putting rather too severe a trial on the virtuo of the faithful.

An urchin of sovon cummers entered a room iv which sat his mother and stßtor. There was blood in his eye, and papa's braud-ucw revolver, purchased expressly for tho burglary season, in his hand. "Mamma," ho cried, iv silvery tones, a sunny ripplo playing over his oxpressive countooanci: lilteasummer'sday," throw up your hands." Mamma did. And when sho brought themdownngain,thatpottion of that Uttlo boy's boJy usually concealed by his knickerbockers was covotcd an inch deep with blisters. Ho will never play at high waymou again while his mammals about tha house.

Ho rose at four a.m. with an Idea of try ing to cool his parched throat. Having made a losing hazard off a chair into his tub and extinguished tho light, he fetchod up against the w.shing-sland and brought tho wholo structure, china and all, oil to the floor. Recovering smartly he "came with a wot sail" (literally) for home, but fouling the chest of r^rawers got a rib stove iv. Fiually, he drove " stem on " to tho bedstead, jamming the iron leg firmly be tween tho second and third toes of his right foot. Here wo pauso :we haven't quite enough typo on hand to record his language. But at breakfast he entiled sweotly upon hfslandlndy and said, "Ihope, MrsGraball. I didn't disturb you last night by walking about the room, but I rather wanted to sec the comet, you kuow." THE SOLDIMI'S POCKBT-BODK,—I havo boen reading the " Soldier's Pocket-Book," by Sir Garnet Wolseley, and I gather from its perusal that, Bhould ho tako his soat In the Houso of Lords bctoro his £50,000 has been voted to him, he will himself opposo it, for ho says :-," The only rewards that are justly our due, are the gratitude of our country and the praise of our superiors." ECCSNTItICITIBS OF FASHION. - Numerous indeed arc the eccentricities of fashion. I'ugs and horses' heads arc printed or embroidered on many matorialfltt; chickens und ducklings aro. favourite' trimmings iv Paris for hats and bonnets ; and the latest rage for jewellery is a small regiment of " diamond spiders, beginning with a huge spider and ending with a "money-spinner," the said regiment form ing the trimming of a denu-toiletto body. It is an expensive taste, and yet people saj> they have no money,
