Blood of the Human system.

The axiom that eve die daily" is
APPLY illustrated in a paragraph of Prof
Redfern's paper on Biology, recently
read before the British Association.
Referring to the blood, it is said that
the duration Of life in any of it's par
ticles is but short; they die and their
places are occupied by others, and so
continue substitution which only ends
in death. After every meal an amazing
number of white corpuscles are added
to the blood; breakfast doubles their
proportion to the colored corpuscles in
half an hour; supper increases their
proportion three times, and dinner
makes it four times as great. They
come from such solid glands as the
spleen. In the blood going to this or
gan, their proportion is one to 2, 260; in
that returning from the spleen, it as
one to sixty. Perhaps the most stu
pendous fact of organization is the
steady maintenance of but slightly vari-
able characters in the living and moving
blood, which is every moment under
going changes of different kinds, as it
circulates through each tissue and organ
of the body.

For trimming the trains are deep
founces Of gauze, fringed, and fes-
TONED by having two lengthwise puff5
at intervals. Silk founces are narrow
in front, and become sometimes three
fourths of q yard wide behind, and are
made up of clusters of side-plaits, often
twenty five in q group, alternating with
wider plaits that have only three in a
group. There are also many full, thick
ruches of pinked silks in scallops, in
saw-tooth notches, and in leaf-like
points. with much shirring and
wide puffs. Gauze overskirts are
triple aprons frin ed, or else deep
irregular aprons, Oh which are laid
plated sashes formed of one or two
breadths of silk laid in small flat side
plaits.' The middle of such sash is
laid on the right hip; one end crosses
the apron to the foot of the dress in
front, and is frin ged out there, while the
long Hoped bow on the left of the
back. Thus arranged is a pale blue silk
with asilvery gauze Overskirt and plated
blue sash; the founce is in narrow and
wide plated groups. Basques are fin
ished with loops and bows behind, and
have in many cases Pompadour square
necks filled with tlllle folds. A sky blue
silk basque, trimmed with sheer white
muslin putfs, folds and Valenciennes
lace, is very handsome.
GARNTTURE AND COIFFURES.
Large flowers are preferred for the
garniture of dresses. Among these are
soft loose -petalled roses, SO perfectly
initiating nature that the lightest breeze
blows the petals about. There are pink
crushed roses and dark red Agrippinas,
and white roses family fecked with
pink. A deep fringe of flowers edges
the apron and the bertha, and long
vine extends down the back from the
belt to the edge of the train. Scarlet
peoples are mixed with long brown
feathery grasses and seed pods. Others
are vines Of the green leaves Of the rose
bush, with clusters of roses at intervals,
and no two clusters alike. For young
girls are garlands of lilies, acaIeas, VIC
lets, acacia, and clematis. Coiffures are
hair wreaths with pompons of herons'
feathers for the left side. The aim is to
trim the hair high in front. wallpapers

Domestic Scandal and Tragedy in San
Francisco.

The San Francisco papers contain
long accounts of domestic scandal
ending in a tragedy, the parties to
which are wel-known people. 1t was
the old story of a guilty attachment of
married woman for an adventurer,
and the vengeance Of distracted hus-
band whose faith had been abused. The
murder was committed at the
Yellow Jacket mine, where the
victim had been stopping en- route
to join the woman who was the
remote cause Of the trouble. The par
ties belonged, however, to San Fran
cisco. The man VINO was thus untimely
cut off was one Of those extraordinary
adventures who, by some act in early
life, have become estranged from their
friends and have been vagabonds ever
since. Maj. Larkyns displeased his
relatives in England by a theatrical
venture, and thereupon became a wan
derer. serving i'll the English army in
India, with Garibaldi, and subsequently
in the French army during the Franco
Prussian war. On arriving in San
Francisco he became notorious in
a legal difficulty which was afterwards
compromised, and endeavored to re-
deem his character by hard work and
steady habits. His literary acquire
ments were considerable, and his talents
far above the average. He was en-
gagged at the time of his death in draw
ing map of the quicksilver regions,
and had previousl y gsined some little
local regulations as a playwright and as
dramatic critic of the San Francisco
Post. His own career would have fur
nished him ample material for series
Of sensational plays.
