FASHION. Fashion, after exhausting all the
world of nature and art, has now called upon
science to supply her with new charms. For
ornament, electricity is coming into use You
may see at fashionable ball lin Paris, a lady,
ON the top of whose head sits a butterfly. or
humming-birI. The fly and the bird futter
their wings in the most natural way possible.
How is it managed? Why, within the CHG
non are concealed small battery and a minute
Rhumkorff coil These small batteries, easily
carried about the person, are of zinc, excited
by solution of sulphate OF mercury, which
is enclosed in Volcanic cells so that the exclt-
ing solution cannot escape to the damage OF
the wearer A little more, and the tOllet-tabe
of Beauty will be like laboratory, with chem.
cals in place of washes and sweet waters, and
nduction-ooils supplanting hair pins. What
next-and what next2 Shall we not have elec
trio telegraph wires for confidential messages,
and gentle shocks administered in place of Ma
ture stclegraphy of tender pressure of hands ?
The electric light as an ornament in place OF
Jewels will Of course follow; and the phrase,
. L am positively electrified will be but an
exact scientific description of the condition of
the fair speaker.

To REMOVE NOTES FROM THE EYE Take
a horschair and double it so as to leave a loop,
and if the mote can be seen, lay the loop over
it. close the eye, and then draw out the loop.
The mote will come out with it. If the mote
cannot be seen, place the loop as far in the eye
as possible, then close the eye and roll the ball
round few times, draw out the hair. and the
mote will probably be found on it, This is the
prescription of the Scientific american
to remove notes from the eye is the ld.fash-
ioned way of drawing with the fingers, the up
per eyelid as far as possible over the under lid,
and then, while it is held, blowing the nose
thoroughly. We never knew person to try
this for the first time without laughing at 1t ;
but yet it very rarely fails to remove ordinary
notes and specks from the eye.

RIGID LEGALITY.-An Arkansas correspon-
dent of the New Orleans Ptcayune tells the
following story Of the rigid manner in which
justice is meted out to men in that region:
Some years ago man without a family or
relations lived i'll a county in this State, and
was possessed of an estate worth $4,000. He
went to New Orleans, and was absent touryears
without being heard from. The Probate Judge
granted administration upon his estate, wound
it up and discharged the administrator.
The man at length returned-Ee had beentO
Mexico. lie applied to the Judge for his prop
erty, when in open court the following dialogue
took place:
Dead Man" If your honor please, want
my effects returned TO me, as you see am not
dead yet.
The Court l know-that is, l. as man,
know that you are alive, ami in court; but us
"a court, | know that you are dead, for the re-
cords of this court say so, and against their YER
| lty there can be no averment,-So says Lord
! Coke and good many other books l never
| read
Dead Man-"But l want my property, and
its no matter to me whether your records
ir or not. am alive, have not transferred my
property, and to deprive me Of it without my
consent, is against all law.
The Ourt.-' Ii you insinuate that the re-
cords of this court lie. the court will send you
to jail"
Dead Man" Send dead man to jail?'
The Court" Mr.. Sheriff, take this appari-
ton out u
Sheriff. =" Be thou ghost or goblin damn d,
I'll speak to thee come on let's 60 take SOM
nut to drink.
The Judge stuck to it, that, so far as his
court was concerned, he WIS dead, and he
should stay dead
The poor fellow went into chancery and spent
all he made in Mexico and the rest-Arkansas
must be great upon law and justice

The DEAD SOLDIER AND HIS DOG.-lt has
long been tavorite theory with a certain class
of philosophers that animals possess aud evince
faculties precisely the same as those OF man,
differing only in the degree of intelligence.
There are undoubtedly many incidents which
prove the existence of the senses Of memory,
affection, haired and revenge and one of the
most frequently quoted instances is that Of the
Dead Soldier Dog 1t has been given in va
rious styles for ages back, but still the old fa-
miliar story is welcome one.
A French soldier, who was in the last cam
paign Of Napoleon, carried with him iavOrite
dog, of which he was very fond and which be-
came much attached to his master. The SOL
der was wounded at Waterloo but managed
escape to from the field and join in the disaster
retreat to Paris. But he was not able to pro-
ceed far; becoming weakened by the loss Of
blood from his wound and his over exertions to
escape the enemy. he fell exhausted by the
roadside. and, attended only by his faithful
dog, at last died of hunger and exposure. His
friend remained faithful even after death,
watching by his dead body and protecting it
from the carrOn which hOvered about until
finally weakened and exhausted too, he lay
down and died by his masters side.

The Roman female corpses were painted.
So are the corpses of the inhabitants of the
Polynesian Islands and Of New Zealand
When New Zealand chief dies the friends
and relatives cut themselves with muscle shells
and let blood profusely, because they believe
in ghosts, and royal ghosts especially are par
ticularly partial to this beverage. The body
is laid out by the priests. The head is adorn-
ed with tie most valued feathers OF the al
batross. The hair is anOnted with shark oil,
and tied at the crown with a ribbon. The
lobes Of the ears are Ornamented with white
down, from the sea fowls breast, and the
cheeks are embellished with the red ochre.
The brow is encirced with garland of pink
and white flowers Mats, woven of the sllken
flax, are thrown around the body, which is
placed upright. Skulls of enemies slain in
battle are ranged at his feet. The relics Of an
cestOrs, dug up for the occasion, are placed on
platforms at its head A number of slaves are
slaughtered to keep the chieftain company.
His wives and concubines hang and drown
Themselves, so they may also be of the party.
The body lies in state three or four days. The
priests flourish around it, with whips Of fax,
to keep off the devil and his angles. The fu-
neral song is then chanted. At last the body
is buried with the favOrite mats, muskets and
trinkets of the deceased.
