1t is strange now some women are
always appearing just when> they are
not wanted. Here's how one of them
surprised her husband: A wife ofnear.
" ten years, having given her servant
aholliday, was attending to the culin-
airy matter herself, and hearing her hus.
band coming in the kitchen, I bought she
would surprise him rs soon as he en-
tered the door by throwing her hands
over his eyes and imprinting kiss on
his brow, as in days OF the honeymoon.
Tho husband returned the salute with
interest, and asked, as he disengagci
her hands, Mary, darling, where is
your mistress?" The wife discharged
/" Mary darling" tho next day. and
adopted a new plan OF Surprising I"
her husband.

Prof. Hayden, tho U. s. Geologist
who explored the lava beds, has laid be.
fore the President maps and photo
graphs Of that religion, and the Profess
or, together withiiis assistant, Jas. Stew
cnson, will give their personal recollec-
tons of the characteristics of the lava
beds. Thcy extend irrsgularly all the
way from ahout the three filters west
to the Pacific Ocean, about Fix hundred
miles. They are covered with sage
brush and small vegetation, and abound
in small game, being peculiar for the
multitude OF rabbits and large lizards
that take refuge in holes and crevices
of the rocks. The rock is of basaltic
formation that appears to have been
cast upon the bed OF some lake, and is
cracked in AZ dicections, until il forms
q net work of assures varying liz depth
from ten to sixty feet. Llrge numbers
Of tributaries of the Columbia river flow
through this region, and the water wash
cs out the soft formation beneath the
rock, and great caverns are found ex-
tending for many miles around the
opening at various places m the rock.
In one instance a riv n has been traced
some sixty miles beneath these lava beds
without ever appearing within sight Of
the surface. The sides of the assures in
the rock are generally rough and irreg-
uIar, so as to afford good foothold in
ascending and decending from the
cracks and caverns. Water is abundant,
and it appears to be folly to talk of
starving ont the Modocs. When the
snow meIts in the mountains they have
more fear from being drowned out by
streams than any other cause.

THE PorE's WABDBoBE.-Somo curious
particulars regarding the Pope's Wardrobe
have been published, The head of the
Roman Church adheres strictly to an
cient tradition in respect Of the colour
OF his attire, which consists of a white
cassock with a narrow collar and wide
sleeves, aud a purple cloak cut in a circular
shape. The material varies in thickness
according to the season. In consequence
OF an inycterate habit of snui-taking his
Holiness requires five a six white cassocks
during the year, each Of which costs about
400 fir. In winter, the Pope wears white
silk stockings over fine thread, and in
summer mixed cotton and silk. These are
supplied by a well-kno~ house in Yer
viers, which charges "a fE pair for the
hose. The red mantle costs%n no less than
500 fir. The slippers, of fine red cloth,
embroidered with fire gold, and ornament
ed with a cross, are worth from 100 fir. to
40 Fl. The Pope requires six of these
for the year; t%weuty-four pairs are besides
always kept in his wardrobe, and the
chamberIains are forbidden to give them
away when cast off, though many eagerly
covet the honor of their possession.-I6id.

AN INFANT SHOT BY A CHILD.-A re-
markable gun fatility has occurred at Bill
ston. A weIl-to-do iron-worker, named
William Aston, had been out shooting
small birds. As last charge he put peas
and loaded reared against some furniture
in his kitchen. Mrs Aston was dressing her
infant, aged 10 months, when Joseph
Martin, age between ID and 10, the son Of
a neighbour, came in, and, taking up the
gun, pointed it at the naked babe, saying:"
I'll shot YOU, Stave,'' and drew the trigger.
The charge took away part of the child's
face aod h ,ad, and otherwise mulIiated him,
TAe mother escaped for the chrge, after
it had mlimed the child, passed through
the sleeve of her dress, but she is suffering
from a severe shock to the system. The
child fingered for some twelve hours, when
he died in the hospital at Wolyelhampton.
WOMAN IN EGYPr.-The Khediye has
for some time past entertained the wish
and intention to assimjIate the status and
regime Of his female subjects to that Of
their sisters in the West, aud his views are
now in course of realisation. Within the
last few years comfortable and we!l-con-
Quoted schools have been instituted for
young Arab girls, and nearly 300 pupils
have already been received. History,
geography, arithmetic, sewing, and house
hold duties are taught, and in future the
Egyptian woman is to be formed into a
reasonable, thinking, and acting creature,
instead of being taught to consider herself
a hapIess, useless machine, if possible less
intelligent than a beast of burden. The
movement has the greatest success; the
women themselves readily recognise how
great will be the amelioration OF their posi-
ton, and already the number of appIica-
tons for admission into this new guild OF
civilization far exceeds the accommodation
which can be provided; but the prin-
cesses Of the viceregaI family, who patron
Use the movement, dispense funds for its
deyoIment with no niggardly hands, and
the Viceroy himself, without trencbing on
public funds, contributes as literally to
the education of girls as he has already
lone to that Of the boys.-Did.

The following story gives a good idea
Of the drinking style of the last century.
This was what our grandtathers took for
humour. Two young English moblcmen
were paying visit to Lord Panmure, at
Brcchjn Castle One day he wrote a let
ter to Paulathie, a tenant OF his, to come
and dine with him, and at the same time
he ordered him to bling a sum of money.
PanIathje was aware when he received
the order that something was to be done.
After dinner Lord Panmure gave the first
toast, which was, "AIl hats in the fire,
or POI on the table, -Four hats were
Immediately in the fire One of the Eng
fish noblemen gave the next toast, All
coats in the fire, or 50I. on the table,"
Four coats Were committed to the flames.
The other English nobIcman gave the next
toast, "AlI boots in the fire, or 1901 on
the table, The whole of the boots were
committed to the flames. Panlathie's
toast came next, which was, 1.-Two fore
teeth in the fire, or 20GL. on the table,"
when PanIathie pulled his teeth out and
and threw them in the fire. The English
noblemen looked amazed. He had false
teeth unknown to them, and Panlathie
went home without hat, coat or boots.
but with 6O0l. in his pocket. Lord Pan
mure thought much of his tenant after
that j bid.
A MARKED CASE OF H%YDRoPHoBIA from
the bite of a cat has occurred III Liverpool.
A boy of nine, five weeks after the inAic-
ton of the wound, which had been cauter-
ised and dressed, gradually became aver8e
to the sight or mention of water, and died
in great agony from a succession of c%onvul-

would break them. The farmers around
came with their carts to reap an uneXpec-
ted harvest, and there was not an available
boat or net in Dungaryan, Youghal, or
Cork which was not employed, while bas-
kets, c@reeIs, and even cradles were used by
many In drawing in the ineyhaustabIe sup
ply. The first hungarian fisherman to
hear the news put off at once in his boat
and arrived shortly after the sh0al entered
the harbour. In two days he sent his poor
wife and family a cheque for 81. The
news OF this good fortune soon spread, al
though the local men tried to keep it as
secret as possible, and ere long the har-
bour was crowded with fishing craft of all
descriptions. Two buyers came over from
England or Scotland, and bought all they
could manage to barrel and cure, thus ser
wing greatly to increase the value Of the
take. There followed in the wake OF the
shoaI a large quantity Of turbot, hako, and
dogish numbers of the behring's were
marked with their bites.-IJid.
BLOODLESs OPERATIONS seem to be the
novelty of the day, though it has shown by
Mr.Erlchsen that the application Of the
principle is HOt new. The simple baudage
has already been superseded by elastic pres
sure, and improvements will probably be
soon proposed. In Paris, also, surgeons try
to economist the vital fluid in operations
and we see nj. FrrueuiI, tho ingenious
surgeon Of LaIjbojsIere, ~removeing yo,um-
nous tumours Of the face and resectiug the
upper maxjIIa by the g%aIvanic knife to
avoid hemorrhage. But the value Of NJ.
VerneuII's coses is somewhat lessened by
the fact that the main trunks supplying the
face before the operation. The stumbling
block of men who start novelty is the
enthusiasts wish Of APPLYING it to all OPP
e%rotions. Chassaignac formerly went so
far as to preform hthotomy with his esra-
seur, We should be cautious also respec-
ting another new continuance, viz, pneu-
matte ospjratorS. These in certain cases
are extremely valuable, but the cases
should be well chosen.

visit of an extraordinary shoaI Of fish
to Waterfold Harbour, and its re-

lows will readily take the job at consid-
srably less than one-half the original
cost of boat, counting the saving of
'reight bills on boat tackle, remnants of
goods and passage-for as many of the
crew as desire to do so can live on

The Oad FeIIou., picnic.

Yesterday was one Of the few pie asant
days OF the season, which was fortunate
for the Odd Fellows aud their friends,
who gave such al attractive picnic yes
terday at James Park. The crowd be-
gan to assemble early in the afternoon,
and a continued stream of humanity
filed the cars and all available means
of transportation going out until after
ten o'clock. II is estimated that at
least fifteen hundred persons were in at
tendance, which was one of the largest
crowds seen out there this spring.
The excellent music provided, the re-
freshments, the cool, exhilarating air, the
presence Of woman with all her radiant
beauty and gentle influences upon ruder
but chivalrous man, kept the delighted
assembly together until very late hour.
Altogether, this was one of the most sue
cessful, harmonious and enjoyable enter
tainments ever given by this worthy
order. Mr.. I. S. Bingham. Chairman Of
the Committee Of Arrangements, deserves
the highest praise-as well as his efficient
assistants respectively-for his zeal and
untiring energy in providing amusements
and conducting the responsibilities of the
day and night to such an agreeable cul-
mination. The Appeals report con-
cludes as follows: ain the afternoon a
crimson collar of rich silver and gold
embroidery was voted to the most popu-
lar Odd Fellow in Memphis. Universal
suffrage being allowed, the ladies soon
took an interest in the voting, and de-
posted several ballots for popular gen.
tlemen. Mr.. Frank Wait received the
highest number Of votes apd was
awarded the collar. Mrs. Quintet re-
ceived the bird-cage, worth fifty dollars,
over Mrs. Ben Bingham and Mrs. Frank
Wait, competitors. George App, George
Smith, Leon Levy, Alderman 7. Mccall
and Tom Bingham were the candidates
for the chamber set voted to the ugliest
bachelor 0dd-Fellow. The race was be-
tween Tom Bingham and Tom Mackall.

As the month draws to a close the
financial situation is becoming closer,
but there is not yet, nor will there
be during the season, any occasion
for alarm. Receipts of currency were
insignificant, and, on the other hand,
the outflow was moderate. The supply
on hand is reduced, but not so much so
as to embarrass legitimate business.
Greater activity is reported in the open
market, but the class of paper offering
there is hard to dispose of, even with the
sweet smiles of the street philosopher,
who generally is well provided with what
he terms first class. Eastern exchange
is scarce, and commercial bills in light
supply. Rates are strong at par on
Eastern bills, and l@s discount on New
Orleans, bankers checks on the former
selling at &c premium, and on the latter
point at par. Gold continues in light
supply, and dealers bid but n79ll74.
