The EFFEMiNATE MAN.-The ef-
Terminate man is a weak poultice
He is a cross between a root beer
and ginger pop, with the cork left
out of the bottle over night. He is a
fresh water mermaid found in COW
pasture with hands filled with dan
delions. He is a teacup full of sylla-
bub-a kitten in pantalets-a sick
monkey with a blonde mustache.-
He is vine without any tendrils-
a fly drowned IN sweet ola paper
kite in a dead calm. He lives like
butterfy--nobody can tell why
He is as harmless as a cents worth
of spruce gum, and as useless as a
shirt button without any button
hole. He is as lazy as a bread bill,
and has no more hope than q last
years grasshoppcr. He goes thro'
life on tip toes, and dies like CO.

WHY'S Laes Costly.

Many wonder why what is termed
real lace-as lace made by hand is
called, to distinguish it from that
made by machine. which is called i'm
itation-is so costly? The following
paragraph from a foreign exchange
explains this reason:
THE manufacture of lace is carried
TO its highest perfection in Belgium.
The finest speeimen Of Brussels lace
Is so complicated as to require the la
Dor Of seven persons on one piece, and
each operative is employed at distinct
features of the work. The thread
used is of exquisite ineness, which is
spun in dark, underground rooms.
where tits sufficiently mo.istto prevent
the thread from separating.
IL is so delicate as scarcely to be
seen, and the room is so arranged that
all the light admitted shall fall upon
the work. 1T is SUCH material that
renders the genuine Brussels so costly,
On q piece Of Valenciennes not two
inches wide. from two to three hun.
dred bobbins are sometimes used, and
for the larger width as many as eishI
hundred on the same pillow. The
most valuable Valenciennes is deter

bobbins have been twisted in making
the ground; the more frequent the
Twists the clearer and more beautiful

How TO Secure sleep.

Nervous people who suffer from
insomnia may try the following recipe,
the efficacy OF which. however, we de-
cline to warrant: Turn the eyeballs
az fas TO the right, or to the left. or
downward, or upward, as possible
without pain, and then commence
rolling them slowly with that diver
gence from a direct line of vision,
around their sockets, and continue
this until you fall asleep-whioh oc-
ours generally within three minutes I;
always within five as most. IL rot
merely diverts thought into new
channel, but actually suspends it.
Endeavor, while rolling your eyes, TO
think upon a particular subject. even
upon that which kept you awake, and
you cannot. As long as they are
moving round, mind is blank.

Feafhar Beds.

The Herald of Health says: Why
are feathers worse for bedding than
cork shaVings, or any other substance
that is TOO costly to be renewed often
Feathers are very poor conductors
of heat, and. consequently. keep the
skin oyerheated, facilitating it, pre-
venting the full performance Of its
functions. and rendering the person
more liable to colds. Not only this,
but the functions of the skin being
impaired, the liver, kidneys and lungs
have to do extra duty, aud are liable
to become diseased in consequence.
Another objection to feathers Is, that
there is decomposition of their ami /.
NAL master going on all the time, and
they absorb and retain the emanations
from the body to such an extent, that
they soon become too filthy for CON-
mon decency,

THERE is common but false no.
ton that frequent cutting of the hair
is favorable to its growth. Mothers
thus often bespoil their infants Of
their first silken locks, with the idea
that the second hair will be much
more rich and abundant. This is an
error. The most beautiful and
Astounding heads of hair We ever saw
were those which the scissors had
never touched. Mothers, not satisfied
with trimming the hair of their chill /
dren, often have it shaved or cut
close to the scalp when they find it
losing some of its brillianey or falling
out. Except in rare oasos of disease.
the total sacrifice of the hair is un-
necessary, and the second growth is
never equal to the first. Getting the
hair trimmed from time to time may
be allowed as q matter of convenience,
but it does not produce the benefit
generally attributed to it.
