Sex in Conversation.

The old-time complaint of men regarding
the burden of ladies in general conversation
is mostly obsolete. In our day, women, on
the whole, talk in society quite as well as
men. They are not quite SO epigrammatic,
and sometimes lack condensation; but they
are decidedly more sprightly, and tell any
story which requires quiet dramatic express
sion good deal better. Their grand de-
feet in conversation is obligingness, with a
show of interest that is visibly pretense and
a series Of replies which are as vapid as the
white of an egg. Nor man talks as badly as
most women on subjects they care nothing
about, for no man who, under those cir
cumstances, talks at all, hesitates to be a
little bitter-and vanilla, be it nice or not,
has at worse more flavor than cream-cheese.
But the serene, equable flow of woman's
talk helps nightly to prevent conversation
from degenerating into intellectual duel
ing-which, though amusing for two min
utes, is WEAKNESS after five, and to be
perfect should be arrested after two shots
each. Women, morever, wake up the talk
ativeness in the men-an attribute the
men too often overlook.

Who Are the Vulgarp

Chesterfield states. that immoderate laugh
ter is the most vulgar stamp. Charles II.
declared that Presbyterian was no religion
for gentleman. Walter Scott gave as
reason for his change of religion that Epis.
copalian was more refined than other relig-
ions. He also referred to the pride of blood
of the old Virginia Tories, who considered

man. Yet few centuries before it was not
considered vulgar for their forefathers to be
unable to read and write. In New England,
in the last century, it was considered vulgar
for man to be withouJ queue. Mrs.
Somervile relates that, when she remen-
strated with her father for wearing one, he
remarked, ''if cut it off, by-the head
must 60 with it, Out in Kansas. met
an Englishman engaged in stock raising,
and he gloried in dining at halfpast seven
at night, the same as he used to in his faith
er's house in London. Dining in swallow
tail coat at half-past seven was his idea of
gentility. | once witnessed state dinner in
Colorado, where one man stopped short and
looked with surprise at another for some
time. He could not stand it, and exclaimed,
"By golly this is more than I can stand;
he is eating his pie with a fork. ."-James

Toughened d Glass.

1t has been reserved for Frenchman.
gentleman farmer, to discover the singular
fact that when glass is heated to redness
and then annealed in oil its tonghness is
greatly increased, or, what is equivalent.
its fragility is greatly diminished, while its
transparency remains the same. Thus,
suppose rectangular pane of glass placed
flatwise and supported on two of its oppo-
site edges, to break when given weight is
allowed to fall upon it--say, from the
height of 2 tit would, after having been
toughencd in the manner above stated, re-
sist the same weight falling upon it from
the height Of #. or 8 ft. Il is strange
that, although glass has been manufactured
during the last 2 600 years, such a simple
and probably very important TACT as this
should only have recently been found out
and equally strange that the discoverer
should be gentleman farmer. The fore
going information on the new process OF
toughening glass is given on the authority
of Mr.. G. w. Siemens, F. r. s., who is
well-known in connection with telegrapny
and the furnace which bears his name.
His brother, an eminent glass-maker at
Dresden, has tried the process and pro
nonnces it to be sscertain and unquession-
ahle.'

A Great Swimmer.

Captain Boynton, the American who
Jumped from an ocean steamship off the
coast of Ireland and SWAN thirty miles
during one of the most terrific gales of the
season, has been giving some very success
full exhibitions of his swimming dress upon
the Thames. Vast crowds Of people line
the banks of the river every time he appears,
and watch with the greatest interest his
movements in the water. The other day he
went down to Wapping Old Stairs and put
on his swimming clothes, consisting Of an
india rubber suit in two parts-one cover
ing the chest, arms and back of the head;
the other the legs and feet. This is put on
over an ordinary suit. After being adjusted
the parts are inflated by four tubes, and
when full of air the wearer steps into the
water without the slightest fear. Captain
Boynton raised his flag, ate his lunch, read
a book, blew horn, and went through q
variety of performances to the great delight
of the crowds assembled on London Bridge
and on the banks of the river. lie was
loudly cheered. AT Temple Stairs he came
cut for rest, without showing any signs
Of fatigue, and soon after plunged in again
and started for Putney. The success of
this SWIMMING dress has been clearly es-

Toilet Articles as Viewed by the Chem
ist.

Professor William P. Tonry delivered. on
Wednesday night, the second lecture of his
present course and the Gsemisa Hall at
utmost capacity. The subject Of the lecture
was ''Toilet Articles as viewed by the
Chemist" and the lecturer first reminded
his audience that the manufacturer would
view such articles through their profits, the
public through the persuasive representa-
tions of dealers, but the chemist, through
the test tube and crucible. A lady of fash
ion, of the present day, con siders her toilet
table incomplete without hair tonics, hair
washes and restoratives, depillatories, en-
amels, salves, and powders, and, continu-
ing, Professor Tonroy subjected to exam1-
nation specimen of each class. By means
of a peculiar arrangement of the ordinary
microscope, the root of the hair and sec
tion of human skin, showing the roots Of
the hair, sweat glands, &C., was thrown
upon screen, and their construction and
functions explained. A number Of the So
SoilCst Aaa tohiSns WdSACo, ssAO ACoGoA-
ers," were taken and their composition
shown to the audience by chemical tests,
several bottles of metallic lead being taken
from one Of the so-called chair restorers, T"
and 'Ayres Hair Vigor" was found to con-
tam nearly three grains of lead to the fluid
ounce: '.Phalon's Vitalia," over four and
one-half grains; 'Hall's Vevetable Sicilian
Hair Renewer," over six grains; and a
''hair restorer" fifteen grains to the ounce
Magnolia Balm,'' ''Bloom of YOUTH" and
Enamel and ''Oriental Cream were
found to contain from 110 to 100 grains of
lead or zinc to the ounce. The methods of
bleaching the hair, and of changing dark
hair to the fashionable golden yellow were
mentioned, as well as the poisonous nature
of the chemicals used. Depillatories, bright
eyes, and embonpoint were commented
upon by the lecturer. Professor Tonry
spoke for about one and a half hours, and
his remarks were heard with marked atten-
tion, the ladies especially being eager list
eners.-Bdltin.0re GtISette.

BY the Pacific.

When the tide is out, Panama lies strand
ed-an inland town. 1t looks odd to see
vast troops of buzzards blackening here and
there the sea-weed, but they are the scav-
engers of the tropics their lives protected
by law, and their swift scent for carrion re-
calls the protection of the people from mi
asmas that else would soor. be pestilence.
Panama is a dense little place, huddled
upon a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea
from the base of the volcanic Ancon.
Leaving the pier, one follows rather strag-
Cling street, which winds among negro
huts, grogshops, and many curious varieties
of real estate and live stock, until it deliv-
ers him within the walls-no gates are visi-
BILE, nor does any one exactly know when
he gets inside except by vague feeling
that he is 1n-where semblances Of paving
and sidewalk appear; there is an OCCASION
al corner with its side street, the houses in
dulge in yerandas, sometimes of three
stories queer looking shops - including
some where beef is sold by the yard-get
thicker; mules, donkeys, dogs, poultry,
pigs, pickanninnies, grinning girls and tur-
kew buzzards abound, and here and there
an old church is seen until, of a sudden, you
are in the plaza the cathedral. with it's two
towers with their shell ornamented, pyra-
nid terrnini, on whose lofty summits-as
we'll as in all inferior crevices, ledges, and
all other possible places-giass is growing,
and plants are tiourishing and blooming
with the most astonishing aao'schdta7ace, is
on your left; the not very magnificent
State House and Palace Of Justice is on
your right, aud beyond it is what is left of
the old, and what is finished of the new,
" Grand - Hotel of Panama. The average
traveller finds little beauty in his surround
ings; but there is certain newness about
the picture which pleases him-for the
sense of novelty is pleasure in itself.

Mnmbling prayer for her.
Giving not bread bnt stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their XII in the street.
Only woman In the old days
Hope caroled to her her happi est lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise:
Somebody faced up the battles of ife
Strong for her sake who was mother or wife,
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shadows are:
Somebody waits for her,
Opens the gates for her,
Giving delight for dc pair.
