Mayor sentenced him to pay fine of 5 10

/ The Fanchon still retains its popularity
in spite of the many new claimants to pub
lie favor. Nearly all the dressy bonnets
for summer wear are made in this shape,
which suits so well the style in which the
hair is now worn.
One of the prettiest we have seen is of
blue Grape, covered with a scarf of blue
lisse, which is tied under the chin over mar
row ribbon strings. A white, bclf-blown
rose in small golden bronze leaves forms
the face trimming.
Another very elegant Fanchon bonnet
consists simply of scarf of spotted tulle,
edged with narrow rich blonde, and laid
in folds over stiff net foundation. The
scarf forms the brides, which are fastened
under the chin by Marguerites. A cluster
of the same flowers, placed on one side,
forms the face trimming.
One of the prettiest bonnets we have seen
this season Is of rice straw, the low, broad
crown cut out in points, and descending on
an insertion, which forms small triangles
of blue silk. Beyond this insertion is a
narrow brim of straw. On the top of the
crown, and upon the points which descend
below, leaves are beautifully embroidered
in. fine jet, which produce charming eff
feet. The trimming consists of blue rib
bon, narrow pointed blonde, and branch
of white lilac.
The new round hats are very similar to
the old Mousquetaire shape, only smaller.
The crown is low and slightly oval, the
brim narrow and rolled. .. s.s.ss.
The very latest is the chignon hat. It is
in fine English straw, and has a narrow
brim, which rolls up pdecidedly at the back,
but runs off very narrow in 'front.' where ii
descends low upon the forehead. Scarfs of
lisse, tulle, or lace are yary general upon
the round hats.

Bleeding Bread.

An article in the April number of the
Edinburgh ReUiew, on the subject of
Spontaneous Generation" contains an ex-
planation of an apparently miraculous oc-
currence which has astonished and appalled,
behoders for many ages The discovery
has been made by DIR. Erdmann, of Berlin.
The singular phenomenon of " bleeding
bread has been occasionally noticed from
the earliest times; thus Alexander the
Great, according to the account given by
Quintus Curtius, was appalled, by the APP
pearance of blood flowing from inside his
soldiers bread during the siege of Tyre in
332 B. C. His seer Aristander foresaw in
the flowing of blood from the inside of the
bread favorable omen for the Macedoni-
ans, and the soldiers thus imprinted, cap
tured Tyre. From the year 1904 the
phenomenon ofthe bleeding Host and bread.
as well as the " "bewitched bloody milk, -
was observed several times each century !;
thus it was noticed in 1864, under Urban
". at Bolsena, not far from Civita Vec.
CHA, and Raphael has taken this for the
subject of his picture called the /" Miraculo
di Bolsena," In 1888, when Heinrich Won
.Bulow destroyed the village and church of
WiIsnach, drops of blood were found eight
days afterward on the Host placed on the
altar. In 1910 thirty-eight Jews were

The Rev. j H Orbison. of the Lodian
mission, sends the following account OF
this lovely region to the Foreign Mission
arg of the %. S. Presbyterian Church
The best birds eye view of the valley
is from the top of 'Takht-Sulaiman, the
Throne Of Solomon, where, according to the
tradition, that great king, seated on his
flying throne,' which was borne through
the air by swift genii, stopped for moment
in one of his peregrinations to survey the
enchanting scene. This lofty spur, now
called Solomons Throne just out from
high range not far from the middle OF
the valley overlooking the city, and COM
manding view Of the whole panorama
which lies spread out like some Fairy-land
dotted with gardens, and carpeted here and
there with exquisite devices and patterns
and Gobelin tapestries, designed and wo-
ven by peris and genii. in the olden times
and have since afforded an inexhaustible
store of designs for the unique shawls OF
Cashmere. Just beneath you lies Soin-
ugerr, the chief city, with the Palace and
Fort of the Lion and Hindoo temples
and Moslem mosques. and Hurri-Purbut-
Fort on the conical mound, and the quaint
bridges, and poplar avenues, and spreading
suburbs, etc. To the left you behold a
river, formed by melting SHOWS of the
mountain-tops, and the springs which burst
from their base, gliding broad, smooth and
majestic, back and forth, across and adown
the valley, and curving in great bends and
loops, through fields and groves, and gar
dens, till it reaches the city, through which
it runs, sending out branches for the streets
and canals of this Eastern Venice, on which
move about the primitive boats, very unalike
gondolas. To the right you see canals and
inlets, and the tar-famed lake on whose
banks spread out the celebrated gardens,
Chunar.' and Nishant,' and Shalemar,
with their rows of fountains, and whose
bosom is studded with the Golden and Sill
yer Isles of Poetry, and whose shores are
fringed with floating gardens. In front,
| beyond the city, you see the river, with Its
waters reunited, winding along down Ieis-
urely in all It's force, tertilizing the valley,
and helping to form from other inlets and
lakes, as Manusbul,' and the Wooler,
| till it reaches Baramoolla, at the other end
of the valley, where it bursts through the
mountain ranges by narrow pass, and
leaves Cashmere roaring, and rushing, and
dashing angrily. Leaving the view be-
meath. you behold, as you raise your eyes
mural mountains, crested with snow, en-.
oircling the whole valley in its entire cir.
cumference, and shooting up their white
pearly peaks and battlements into the sky
like sentinel-posts for the guardian angel,
of the valley, denying access like the wall,
of Milton's Paradise, as if nature would
seclude this, her sanctuary of beauty, from
intrusion and desecraton.
But alas Satan and sin have entered
even here, and lnarred everything. Chris
ttanity is nowhere more needed. Were the
curse, and thorns, and trail of the serpen
removed, this would, indeed, be .Paradis,
Regained,' and the Persian poets vers,
would be true: Ifthere is a paradise upoI
earth, it is this, it is this, it is this"

4 PrODlietic Dream.

In the Diary and Letters of Sarah
Pierpoint," who married Jonathan Ed
wards, the celebrated theologian. now pub
fishing in Hours at Home, occurs the fol-
lowing letter describing singularly pro-
phetic dream relative to the celebrated
Aaron Burr, who was a grandson of Mrs.
Edwards
SToCKBRIDGE, May 10th, 1756.
Dear Brother James Your letters al
ways DO us good, and your last was one of
your best. Have you heard of the birth
of Esther's second child, at Newark? 1t
was born the 9th of February last and its
parents have named it Aaron Burr. Jr..

will grow up to a good and useful man
But, somehow, strange presentlment of
evil has hung over my mind of late. and |
can hardly rid myself of the impression
that that child was born to see trouble.
You know | don't believe in dreams and
visions; bnt lately had sad night of
broken sleep, in which the future career of
/ that boy seemed to pass before me. He
first appeared as little child, just begin
ming to ascend high hill. Not long af-
/ ter he set out, the two guides who started
with him, disappeared one after the other.
He went on alone, and as the road was
open and plain, and as friends met him at
every turn, he got along very we'll AT
times he took on the air and bearing of a
soldier, and then of a statesman, assuming
to lead and control others. As he neared
the top of the hill. the way grew more steep
and difficult, and his companions became
alienated from, refusing to help him or to
be led by him. Baffied in his designs and
angered at his ill-successes, he began to
lay about him with violence. leading some
astray, and pulling down Others at every
attempt to rise. Soon he himself began tc
slip and slide down the rough and perilous
sides of the hill now regaining his foot
hold for a little, then losing it again, until
at length he stumbled and fell headlone
down, down, into a black and yawning gull
at the base,
At this, | woke III distress, and was elad
enough to find it was a dream Now, you
may make as much or as little of this as
you please. | think the disturbed state OF
our country, along with my own Indifferent
health, must have occasoned it. A lette,
from his mother, to-day assures US thai
her little Aaron is lively, prattlesome fel
low, filling his parents hearts with JOY

'Soon we observed that the scenery was
altered. The land was no longer rolling
prairie of short, sweet grass, excellent for
stock raising with alterations of level
land, fringed with willows stretched far
barren hills was around us, bleak and in
hospitable. The landscape looked as if
some mighty enchanter had looked upon Il
sea tempestuous and billowy, had smote it
with his wand, and frozen it into earth.
Through this the river, brown and impe-
tuous, in ages past forced its way and
now its waters bearing with them the de-
triton torn from upland sources, deposit
| these sometimes in the centre, sometimes
on one side, sometimes on the other. \
bar is then formed; the bar becomes an
island, and is soon covered with vegetation.
The air carries the seeds of the cottonwood,
and those trees spring up; the waters bear
the germ Of the willow, and the banks are
lined with willows; birds bring seeds Of
grasses and flowers. Yet even this is not
the sole vegetation of this barren spot; in
the hollows between the earth waves of this
dreary earth sea grow stunted, dark-look-
ing cedars, and Haunting suntIowers, the
shoddocracy of Flora, and those long prai-
rie grasses which rear up to the saddle of
the adventurous traveller, and hide all but
the ears of the mustang
But above all, on the surface of these
earth billows is Il scanty ragged mantle OF
the shsortest grass and occasional bunches
of that peculiar kind which the buffalo
loves, and which makes the tayorite bed of
the hunter, supposing him such Sardana-
palus as to require a bed. Dreary, drearv
is the aspect of this region; the river IS
brown, the grasses are brown, the rocks
are brown. Here and there dark cedar
crevasse breaks the hideous uniformity Of
color Here and there, the tops of the
hills are dark to blaeknes> which only
gives the landscape tone more funeral
more hopeless melancholy. Yet even the
barren place has its moments Of beauty.
The setting sun adorns this neglected spot
Of earth with its most glowing colors. When
the great red orb is sinking in the west
ward, then the coored glories OF the dcclin-
ing rays tints the dull hills with beauty to
which it has no claim. The long slopes
seem of velvet brown. fading into green ;
the gaps and hollows are filed up with a
purple grandeur and the sharpness of out
line is mellowed by the softness of the at
mosphere in that transient hour
Men have chosen this place nevertheless,
for their homes, aud | have seen huts in
the bottoms, where the islands have joined
the bluffs by the filling up Of the channel
Such men cut lumber for the boats, have a
few cows. few hogs, an occasional pony !:
but they must be melancholy men, devoid
of ambition for how could they live unim-
pressed by the distracting monotony and
ghostly character Of the surrounding scene
ry. shall charitably hope that they
make a few hundred dollars by cutting
lumber and then start farm at Yankton,
leaving the post behind them for the bene-
fit of the next anchorite

themselves legally divorced in Scotland,
with permission to marry again, as it is
now in the most lax of German Kingdoms
or dukedoms And what would be still
more surprising to ordinary people Is the
circumstances that English-born people,
married In England at an American parish
church, had only to travel to Scotland, 60
through certain tormalitles, and at cost
of about fifty pounds have their nuptual
knot united, and they might then return to
England free to marry whom they pleased
More than all, although the whole affair
was openly arranged by the two parties
acting in concert, it was held to be lawful
and not immoral thing for the wife to take
what was called the "oath of calumny" :"
and to swear that there was no collusion
between her husband and herself to pro-
cure the divorce.
\ very curious instance of the opera
ton Of this law is given in a recently pub
lished book. 4 respectable Englishman
and his equally respectable English wife
separated. There was no quarrel nor even
a violent dislike; only they did not enjoy
each others society Presently the hus-
band fell in love. He wrote to the wife
about divorce. They met IN Edinburgh
The notes OF the conversation in the wite's
diary are amusing They not only made
arrangements about present and future
money affairs, and the custody of their son.
of whom they both professed to be equally
fond, the lady specially ob;ecting to the
fathers taking him to the Fives Court. but
on one occasion they discussed the pictures
at Dalkeith. on another the beauties Of
Roslyn Castle, and on third they drank
tea together, and finally settled that the
moment the lady should have taken the
9" oath Of calumny,'' on proper legal advice,
she should make up a parcel containing
- the joyful intelligence.' and send it of
by messenger, that 80 the husband should
know what was done at once, without wait
ine for the slow-going post to carry let
ter in its ordinary course.
After little tour in the Highlands she
returned at her lawyers summons, took the
oath, despatched the messenger, and then
went to visit her late husbands relatives in
Deyonshire. After the gentlemans second
marriage they met at Paris, apparently
without embarrassment.

The USE OF MosoUIToEs-Dr. Osgood
finds that even mosquitoes do good service
to the world, and are useful even to those
who anathematize them:
God means TO give us strength as well
IS wisdom, and he is as much opposed to
idleness and ineficiency as to folly and
improvidence. He keeps his rational
creatures ever on the alert; and if ruder
ages he set wild beasts about men as
kind of watch to keep them awake; and
sometimes it was the stern destiny of the
backwoodsman either to slay or be slain,
or TO eat the bear or else be eaten by him.
Even the annoying insects that we so little
love, and SO readily commit to Beelzebub,
the demon of flies as of lies, have a use,
md are, like the mosquitoes, sor. of

Scotch Divorces.

The Pail Mall Gazette says the general
English public has come to the perhaps
hasty conclusion that in Scotland nobody
knows who is married or who is not, and
does not care to hear any more about the
Yelvertons. But perplexing as the Scotch
law on divorce may be at present, it was
worse generation ago. Tnen it was every
whit as easy for married couple, to get
