Beauty Independent of Youth.

Helen of Troy was over forty when she
pcrpetrated the most famous elopement
on record, and as the siege of Troy lasted a
decade she must have been quite elderly
when the ill-fortune of Paris restored her
to her husband, who is reported to have
received her with unquestioning love and
gratitude.
Pericles welded Aspasa when she was
thirty-six, and yet atterward, for thirty
years or more, held an undiminished rep
utation for beauty.
Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never lessened
until her death, nearly ten years later
and Livia was thirty-three when she won
the heart of Augustus, over whom she
maintained her ascendency to the last.
The extraordinary Diane de Poictiers
was thirty-six when Henry III, of France
(then Duke of Orleans, and Just half her
age), became attached to her, and she was
held rs the first lady and most beautiful
woman at court up to the period of the
monarch's death and of the accession to
power of Catharine of Medicis.
Anne of Austria was thirty-eight when
she was the handsomest queen of Europe,
and when Buckingham and Richelieu
were her jealous admirers.
Ninon de PEnclos, the most celebrated
wit and beauty other day, was the idol of
three generations of the golden youth of
France, and was seventy-two when the
Able de Bernis fell in love with her. A
rare combination of culture, talents and
personal attractions endowed their pos
SCISSOR seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth.
Blanca Capello was thirty-eight wher
the Grand Duke Francisco, of Florence,
fell captive to her charms, and made her
his wife, though he was five years her
junior.
Louis XIV welded Nine. de Mainte-
non when she was forty-three years OF
age.
Catherine III, of Russia, was thirty
three when she seized the empire of Rus
STA, and captivated the dashing young
Orlof. Up to the time of her death, at
sixty-seven, she seems to have retained
the same bewitching powers, for the
lamentations were heartfelt among all
those who had ever known her person
ally.
Mile. Mars, the tragedienne, only at
tanned the zenith other beauty and power
between forty and forty-five, when the
loveliness of her hands and arms especially
was celebrated throughout Europe.
Nine. Recamier was thirty-eight when
she was without dispute declared to be the
most beautiful woman in Europe, which
rank she held for fifteen years.

A New Dodge.

4 negro man conveyed two trunks TO
the steamer Colonel \. p. kouns, stating
that they were the property of man
and his wife, who were going up deck
passengers on the boat to Alexandria.
He was told by the mate to take them to
the engine-room, out of the way OF
freight, and leave them. The man and
his wife did not make their appearance,
but in the evening the party who had
brought the trunks on board came down
and remarked that they would go on to
Shreveport instead of Alexandria. About
the time the day Waterman was relieved
by the night Waterman, and while the
night Waterman had gone to the forward
part of the boat, two sacks OF coffee mys-
teriously disappeared. Search was made
for the same, but no clew could be dis
covered of the thief or coffee. 1t was
given up as lost. About five o'clock the
following morning woman called on
board and wanted the trunks, saying
that they had concluded TO 20 by rail in
stead of on the boat. The Waterman of
course refused to deliver them, and her
actions aroused his suspicious, and after
she had gone away he concluded to take
a look into the trunks, and upon doing
so found the missing coffee nicely slowed
away. one sack in each trunk. The
trunks have not been called for since
NeW Orleans Times.

Japanese Money.

One of the greatest curiosit!es in Japan
to the stranger is the wonderful variety
of coins that are used daily. In some in
stances it takes one thousand pieces to
make one dollar. These are called
"casn," and are seldom received by for
eigners, who, as general rule, refuse to
take them in change. Imagine making
a trade of five cents and giving a man a
fifty-cent piece, then receiving four hun
dred aid fifty of these coppers. This
coin is peculiarly made, having a square
hole in the center. They are about the
size of our dime pieces, and nearly two
thirds of the thickness. Next to this
comes the quarters of cent, then the
halfcent, eight-tenths of cent, and the
one and two-cent pieces. In silver coins
they have the five, ten, twenty, fifty
cent and one-dollar pieces. In gold the
one, two, five, ten and twenty dollars,
which are very pretty coinages indeed.
Next to this comes the government series
of paper money, in various denomina-
tions, ranging from five cents to one hun
dred dollars. This money is made on
quite inferior paper to ours, and from
general appearance will not last like the
American money.

Old.Time Beds,

\ writer SAYS: The ancient Egyptians
had bedsteads and mattresses or spring
beds woven of bamboo or palm branches.
THE Egyptian bedstead," says alearned
writer, "although there seems TO have
been considerable diversity in the shape
Of the canopy and the means by which it
was decked with hangings, and although
it sometimes resembled a four-poster,
was generally similar in form to our
couch. 1t manifested a considerable
amount of taste. One end was raised,
and receded in graceful curve; the legs
were sometimes straight, sometimes
curved, and the feet were often fashioned
to resemble the claws of animals. The
fittings for the day seem to have been
different from those used at night. In
the daytime there were spread over
them coverings, on the gorgeous decora-
tons of which those who were able were
lavish in expenditure they then an
swered much the same purpose a. our
sofa. Thus we are told that when the
murderers, bent on their deadly work,
went to Ishboseth, the son of Saul, they
found him lying on his bed. When, too,
the deputation waited on David to thank
him for comforting his crown on Solomon
he must have been reclining on his bed,
for it is said that, in token of his pleas
ure, he raised himself thereon. 1t is also
related Of Jacob that he laid himself on
the head of his bed"

The Atmosphere ut Athens.

A correspondent writes What is
most striking in the Athenian climate is
the dazzling brilliancy and transparent
clearness of the atmosphere. The sky,
mountains and whole face of nature are
aglow with light, and so intense as to
strain the eyes to their full power of ten
sion. Objects miles distant seem to be
near at hand, and Hymettus and Pentel-
icus stand out in naked ruggedness, with
every cleft and jagged feature sharply
defined, until the roseate veil of the af-
ternoon vapors softens their rude forms
and molds them into symmetrical shapes.
From my hotel window, without the
aid of glass, can trace all the frac-
lures in the columns of the Parthenon,
while its majestic ruins seem to shine
with new luster in the atmospheric
splendor in which they are bathed.

Now, Boys, LOOK OUT "A mechan-
ical genius in New Orleans has invented
continuance worthy of the originator of
the famous machine for the extermina-
ton of the exchange iend. 1t consists of
neat skeleton attachment for the roOfof
street car, with the hinge just over the
door. 1t is rather ornamental than other
wise, and doesn't in the least interfere
with passengers. The driver works it by
a sort of treadle. When he sees a boy
catching OIL the step he will go through
the usual forms. He will look indignant
and threaten the boy and appear to be
awfully riled, and of course the boy will
grin and stand on one leg and waggle his
fingers against his nose in derisiOn. And
just at this interesting crisis the driver
will stamp his foot with vigor, and
thing like graphing hook will suddenly
fly down and wrench out the seat of that
BOYS trowsers, and snatch him several
feet to the rear of the car, where the in
evitable milk cart will run over him.
Boston Adrertiser.
THE other evening while one of our
citizens was sitting in his door-yard with
little four year-old daughter on his lap,
she became interested in the stars over
head, and commenced asking all sorts of
questions about them. To awaken an
abiding interest in the "orbs of night"
he gave her such information concerning
them as he thought suited to her young
mind, and then preceded to point out to
her the stars forming the clipper" She
listened eagerly TO every word, and
watched so closely that she caught the
idea at once, and as he finished the lit
tie one jumped up, enthusiastically,
clapped her tiny hands, and shouted:
"Now, papa, show me the wash-dish."
Tom HUGHES on FIGHTING.-It is
hard, you see, for steady, peaceable
Jack-in-the Pulpit to give you boys real,
fre-crackery, Fourth-ofJuly talk, such
as, perhaps, you'll expect to find in the
July ST. NichOtdS; but mere Is something
that will answer very well. It's by Tom
Hughes, the great historian of the
school-boy. He is talking to the boys of
England when he saysit; but mind you,
he expects them to be sharp and get at
its true meaning-not to swallow it
whole, like pill:
After all, what would life be without fight
ing, | should like to know. From the cradle
to the grave, nghting, rightly understood, is
the busincss-the real, highest, honestest
business-of every son of man. Every one
who is worth his salt has his enemies, who
must be beaten, be they evil thoughts and
high places, or Russians, or Border-rufians,
or Bill, Tom, or Harry, who will not let him
live his life in quiet till he has thrashcd
them.

DOCS for the Arctic Expedition.

Tn additisn to the sledges drawn by
the men. the expedition will be furnished
with FIVE or six sledges to be drawn by
dogs, of which sixty are to be taken on
board the ships at the Danish settlement
of Uppernavik, on the coast OF Green
LAND. to be used when sledging operations
commence. Sir Leopold NChntock
states as the result of his experience,
that two dogs can drag as much as one
man. Several tons of the choicest dog
biscuit have been provided for thelI
use. although some doubts are entertainer
whether they will be duly appreciated,
experience having proved that the
Greenland dogs prefer devouring each
other to any food which can be offered
them. Nothing" says Admiral Us
born, "can be more exhilaratlng thah
dog-sledging in the Arctic regions on a
fine day. The rafting pace of the dogs;
their intelligence in choosing the road
through the broken ice; the strict ODE,
dience paid by the team to one powerful
dog whom they elect as leader; the arbi-
trary exercise of authority by the master
dog; the constant use of the whip, ana
the running conversation kept up by
the driver with the different dogs, who
we'll know their names, afford constant
enjoyment" However useful they may
be, these arctic dogs seem to be deficient
in that affectionate disposition which en-
dears their species so much to man.
Captain Vessy Hamilton stated, Mt re,
cent meeting of the Royal Geographical
Society, that he believed the Esquimaux
dogs to be the most ungrateful creatures
in creation. He had travelled for several
hundred miles by sledges, and for six
weeks it was his duty regularly to feed
the dogs; but after only a few weeks
absence, at the conclusion of the journey,
they would not recognize him in the
slightest degree Sir Leopold MClin,,
took, who may be said to have originated
this mode of arctic travelling, states that
it would be a mistake to attempt TO house
the dogs, as they can live near the ships
during the whole winter, and if treated
differently, would sicken and die

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The Nook.
BY MARY y. PRESCOTT.


The little brooklet ripples along,
Every bubble singing song;
It tangles the sun in its crystal skein,
And 1t answers back to the fretting rain
Along Its margin the ferns unfold,
And the violets shapen out OF the mold
And the flag leans as If fain to snatch
A hint of the brooklet's musical catch,
While the arrow-beads are wadiDg out
To watch the flashing Of silver trout.
Day after day, and night after night,
1t seems to be running away out OF sight;
But the way Is long, and the path is rough,
And day and night are not long enough.
Orion looks on its quivering stream,
His belt and buckle upon il CLEAN,
And all the stars that haunt the sky
Reflect their splendor in passing by.
Oh, happy brooklet, that bears along
The skimmiDg swallows early song
The secret Of each neighboring nest,
OF lilies anchored on its breast;
That every day, and perhaps forever,
Plays out Of doors in all sorts OF weather
