GREcIAN BEND.-A young lady has
discovered the most economical way
to produce the Greoian Bend, and is
anxious that we should give the pub
lie the benefit Of her discovery
Here it is:
"Rice in the morning before break

and a quarter of a pound of honey.
A little milk and vinegar will add to
the effect. The bend, in the most
approved form, will appear in about
half an hour, and the young lady can
put camp kettle on her hack for a
hump, and take the street with the
most confident assurance that the
bend will continue for several hours.

that the same custom prevailed among
the Athenians. The Romans used a
cap at their sacrifices, but hats with
brims when journeying, In the thir-

about the middle of the fifteenth cen
fury hats became common n France,
and soon after in the rest of Europe.
St. Clement is said TO have invented
felt to guard the heads of pilgrims
against inclement weather The first
authentic account of hatters appears
during the middle ages, the earlie,t
spoken of, being at Nuremberg in
1860. The hating trade Of America
is noticed first by the London Board
of Trade in tie year 1882. In the fif-
teenth century hats in Great Britain
were called vanities, were imported,
and cost as high as forty English shil.
lings, which, at that time, was q large
sum. Broad brims reached their Ill
timatum about the year 100, after
which three-cornered hats came in
vogue The hatters' annual festival
was November 23d, being the date of
Queen Elizabeth's grant to the hat
tiers of London.

which conveys the impression of sen.
sations to the brain, travels at the
rate of GIL feet in a second. 1t re-
quires .077 of second for the eye,
and. .149 Of second for the ear to
receive an impression, so that the eye
acts with nearly twice the rapidity
of the ear. Still more surprising is
the calculation in the rapidity of
thought, an instrument having been
invented which shows that simple

OF q second for its elaboration.

DEATH IN TIRE Por.-There is great

deadly substances as cocculus indicus,
grains of paradise, and green vitriol.
Statistics show that drunkenness has
largely increased, and thousands have
died from ind lging freely in beer
drinking. The murderous business
still goes on there as well as here,
spreading desolation and death in the
community, but hoaping up gain for
the selfish and heartless dealers in
