The Japanese paper halidkerchiefs
are assuredly coming, If a cOtempOrary
be right. The paper. collar manufacture
now has been extended to less promi-
nent but more important garments of
great strength and fiexibility, which
can be sewed with a machine, giving
seams almost ~ strong, as u woven fab
ric. The inventor has particularly ap-
piled it to the production of petticoats,
which are either printed in imitation
of the fashionable skirts of the day, or
stamped out with open work of such
beauty and delicacy as no amount Of
labor with scissors and needle could
initiate. The marvel is that these re-
ally beautiful productions can bess0ld
at retail at fifteen cents each. Imita-
ton cretonnes and tshifltE for bed fur
niture are also made, a sett costing at
retail about one dollar and fifty cents.

A writer suggest that it would he d
good thing for men and women were
they taught i'm childhood to use theiI
left hand equally with their right. The
use of the right hand only for certain
actions, such As writing and working
with mechanical tools, is entirely con-
ventional and there does not appear
to be any reason why people should not
be ambidexter in every kind of manual
work. Persons who have lost their
right hand by accident frequently ae-
quire great facility with the left, after
some practice; but grown-up-persons
have not always the patience to betake
themselves to the necessary practice.
BY children the thing would be ac-
quired insensibly if means. We're taken
to lead them to the practice of it. Chill
'dren living in houses where two Ian
guages are spoken acquire both with
great facility; and what Is true OF

Our Hands.
! The human hand is s. beautifully

The human hand Is So beautifully
formed. it has SO fine a sensibility, tlat
seasibility governs its motions so cor
rectly every effort of the will is answer
ed so instantly. as if the hand itself were
the seat Of that will; its actions are so
free, so powerful and yet SO delicate, that
it seems to possess quality instinct In
ITSELF and we use it as we draw our
breath. uneonsciously. and have lost all
recollection of the feeble and ill-directed
efforts of its first exercise, by which il
has been perfected. In the hand are
TIVE Ity-nine bones, from the mechanism
of which result strength, mobility and
elasticity. On the length. strength, free
lateral motion. and perfect mobility of
the thumb, depends the power Of the
hand. its strength being equal to that OF
all the fingers. Without the fieshy ball
of the thumb, the power of the fingers
would avail nothing; and accordingly.
the large ball formed by the muscles OF
the thumb is the distinguishing charac-
ter of the human hand.

Position in Sleeping.

1t is better to 20 to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach IL very much

down, and the contents of 1t are aided
in passing out by gravitation. If one
goes to sleep ON the left side, the opera
ton of emptying the stomach Of its
contents is more like drawing water
from q well. After going to sleep, let
the body take Its own position. If you

II has been said that the girl. OF Brit
ta.Iy and Auvergen never sell their hair
tillcOmpelled by extreme poverty. This,
however. Is incorrect. The trade iII hair
dates from the most remote periods. and
has become an established custom. The
head-drcsses worn by the women aud
girls of the country conceal the absence
of tresses and the shorn lambs look none
the worse for the absence OF their wool.
Girls engaged TO be married sell their
plaits with the consent of their future
husbands, for the sake OF buying trim
ket o. some article of furniture to begin
housekeeping. The Breton hair j. much
priced for its unrivaled softness and lus-
tire: and the traders in Brittany are not
content with the produce of fairs and
village Jetes. but travel about the whole
year. tempting the pos>essors of beauti-
fnl blonde dark tresscs to exchange
them for some bright rag often not worth
half a frame. I'm the Breton towns hair
dressers Will give 20 francs :or pound
of long hair, that being the fixed price
throughout the provjnce; but the young
girls CT the towns are not so easily per-
sualcd rs their country sisters to part
with this great natural ornament. The
valne of a good head of hair Is generally
;,b1ut 10 frames. the most abundant crop
seldom weighing more than half a
pound.

Help One Another,

Dumb animals sometimes set Us good
examples. / will tell you true story
of two horses.
In the town Of indianapolis, there
was q blind horse, who, one day last
summer, wandered into the river, and
then did not know now to get back to
dry land. bs7 s2
Now, there was good horse whom
the boys called Dick, and who was
grazing close by, when he saw the
blind horse swimming round In the
river, and trying IN vain to find the
solid shore. FAfpa 80
Dick must have thought to himself,
That poor horse can't see, or he
would not act In that strange way. l
will call him; perhaps he will mind
my voice"
So Dick began to neigh as loud as he
could; but the blind horse. still was at
loss to know which way to turn
Perhaps he was deaf as well as blind !;
for, though Dick would neigh quite
loud, the poor blind horse still could
not find his way out of the river.
Then Dick must have thought,
THAT Ioor horse will get tired by and
by, and sink aud drown IL do not
help him.
Then Dick went down to the river,
and swan out to where the blind horse
was, and touched noses, as much as 10
saw, Follow met" and then guided
the blind horse safely to the shore.
This kind act was seen by great
MANY people on the shore: and they
cheered loudly as Dick came up on the
hank with the tlind horse behind him.
I hone YOU will be ready to help a
friend In need as poor Dick was. We
must learn to be Kind to one another,
for kind acts and kind feelings will
make Us happy,-Ngsery. e

Burying the Unbaptized.

Few persons, out of England, are
aware of the existence of laws forbid
ding the burial of unbaptized persons
in the chWch-yards-tha is, in the
graveyards of the Church of England.
In the House of Commons a bill has
been introduced to abolish the laws and
to make the grounds accessible to all.
Mr.. Morgan, who, introduced the bill, !,
grounded it chiefly on the experience
of the rural districts, unprovided with
cemeteries. There the present state of
the law as to the burial of Dissenters in
the parish churchyaItls, caused much
religious animosity, and many sca,lda-
lOus scenes, some of which he de-
scribed.
He referred especially to the funeral
Of the late Rev. Mr.. Rees, one of the
most popular Welsh ministers of the
Calvanistic Methodist Body,s who had
won thelrespect not only of thespeOple
of Liverpool among whom he labored,
but of the whole of Wales. The fune-
raj procession was swelled by thou.

had walked, some of them, even thirty
miles, to be present at his burial but
the incumbent of the parish where the
Mterment was to be made, standing Oh
his strict legal rights, positively refused
to allow any expression of feeling on
the part of the multitude beyond what
was prescribed by the prayer book and
the singing of hymn which he selected
himself. 1t was impossible to describe
the seaasati0A created by this proceeding
among a sensitive people like the
Welsh, aud he was convinced that no.
thing lad occurred during the past
thirty years lending SO much to widen
the broad breach between Churchmen
and Dissenters in that neighbOrhoOd,
and to shake to its foundations the al.
ready weak and tOttering fabric of the
Church of England Referring to Other
incidents Of less magnitude, but equal
| ly painful, he described the case of 8
man who died in September, 1883, in
one of the mii,and counties, who was
not only refused burial by the incum'
bent, but was kept above ground four.
