A Wonderful Flower.

One of the most exquisite wonders of
the sea is the opelet, a flower resembling
very much the German China-aster. 1t
has the appearance of the double aster,
with quantity ofpetals of a light green
color, glossy as silk, each petal tipped
with rOse-colOr. These lovely petals are
never still, but wave about in the water
while the flower clings to the rock. SO
innocent and lovely looking, no one
could suspect it of eating anything; GER
tainly if it did, only bit of rainbow o.
Il drop of dew. But those beautiful
waving petals have other and more
material work to dO-to provide food for
a large mouth, which is cunningly hid
deep down among them. They do their
duty famously, for as soon as a silly
little fish comes in contact with those
rosy tips, he is struck with poison,
fatal and quick as lightning. He dies
instantly, and the beautiful arms wrap
themselves about him and drag him into
the greedy mouth. Then those lovely
petals unclose and float innocently on
the water, just like our water-lily. This
flower was long talked of, but its exist
ence doubted until the last century. Now
the Opelet is known to be a thing that
really exists.-URirersdiis

The deer family, species of which are
indigenous to all countries in the world
except Australia, are everywhere re-
nowned for their graceful and elegant
form and their timidity, their remark
able fleetness of foot enabling them, in
open country, to keep away from the
haunts of man. The race includes
genera of all sizes from the little munt-
jac to the moose, and the chief peculiar
tiles of the species, the horns, the hairy
skin, the habit of rumination, and the
feet, each with two principal aud two
rudimentary toes, are to be found in all
of them. The American deer (cOrrus
PfginiB,us) has a long head with sha. .
muzzle,. with large eyes, and the legs
are long and slender. 1t is easily do
mesticated but requires a spacious range
to keep it in health. The hind pro-
duces two or three young at birth, but
no aecouehement takes place till she is
two years old; she coneeals her young
carefully, visiting them only three times
day.
all parts of Great Britain, but now seen
only in the mountains of Scotland and
on one or two extensive mOors are SO
exclusive in their habits that they will
not feed with inferio. animals; they
have an especial abhorrence for sheep,
leaving the place at once if there are foot
prints of sheep on the heritage.
The kind usually kept in parks in
England is the fallow deer, native of
Africa originally; but it has been do
mesticated in England for some cen
turies. 1t is humber in its tastes, and
accommodates itself well to a small park
or paddock. Like all its tribe, it sheds
its horns annually, retiring rs if in
shame till the new growth appears.

The continents of Mars are tinted
red with red ochre and its seas present
themselves to our gaze under the as
pect of spots of a gray green, deepeDed
by an effect of contrast due to the color
of the continents. The coloration of
Mars is not due to Its atmosphere, for,
although the evil extends over the
whole planet, neither its seas nor its
polar SHOWS yield to the influence of
this cOloration. Moreover. the borders
of the planet are less colOIed than. the
center of the disk-a result which
would not be if this cOloratIon was due
to the atmosphere. May not this char
acteristic color Mars, visible to the
naked eye, and which doubtless is the
cause of the warllke individuality
which the ancients conferred on this
planet, be due to the color of the her
baee and of the vegetables which must
color its champaigns Are there red
prairies, red forests, red rivers there
Are our silent woods with their soft
shadows replaced there with trees bear-
ing rubicund foliage, and are our wMd
red pODpies the emblem of the botany
of Mars.

The Fashion I'm Ladies' Gloves.

Dressed kid gloves are rapidly losing
favor, especially for Summer use, and
fashionable ladies wear undressed kid
with their most elegant toilets, Neither
the SaxOny glove, which closes all the
way up, nor the long buttOning gloves
will be in favor. To Obviate the disad-
vantages which both these styles
present, the gloves will be very long
and have a large opening under the
palm of the hand near the wrist, this
opening allows the hand to pass easily,
and, closing with buttons, prevents the
glove from creasing. For revening wear
in Summer the gloves are of undressed
kid, and the length of an ordinary six
button glove; they fasten with three
buttons. The cOlOrs should correspond
with the toilet. For visiting purposes a
glove the length of fOur-button gloves
is suitable with only one button at the
wrist. White gloves, which have not
been in vogue for sometime, are tn be
the rage for seaside wear and riding on
horseback. The white gloves must be
of washable material and not of kid,
for white kid gloves should only be
used for fun dress. There is glove
suitable for this purpose made of Indian
tissue, and used only for Sumner wear.
This glove is quite unlike those of
Scotch thread, for it is beautifully cut
and sets as well as kid. Gloves of this
sort are made in all cOlOrs, but white
will be chiefly used.

The Coming Man.

Look at his honest face; his firm lip };
his speaking eyei The elepents of
manhood are his. he has good health,
which is essential to the most successful
manhood. We venture he uses neither
pills nor stimulants. Neither rheuma-
tism, nervousness, nor dyspepsia trou-
bles him. The day to him is happi-
ness, and the night a blessing. His
sleep is sweet, and his dreams are like
angel whispers.
He has learned the habit of attention.
He does one thing at time and that
well. See how intently he reads-how
eagerly he gives his whole mind to the
thing in hand.
Then he loves knowledge. He is not
a rich mans son, as you see by his
clothes. lie has to work for a living,
and this he is not ashamed to do. lie
means to be one of the worlds pro-
ducers. lie does not intend to be ig-
norant; his time Of leisure he spends,
not in reading silly tales, but in storing
his mind with the literature of his
fathers profession, or in mastering the
knotty problems of science, in learning
a language, or in kindling his moral
faculties by seeking ''as for hidden
treasures" the knowledge of God.

We are emphatically i'm the age of
profanity, and it seems to us that we
are on the topmost current. One can
not go on the streets anywhere without
having his ears offended with the vilest
words, and his reverence shocked by
the most profane use of sacred names.
Nor does it come from the old or middle
aged alone, for it is fact, as alarming
as true, that the younger portion of the
community are most proficient in de-
grading language. Boys have an idea
it is smart to swear; thatGt makes them
manly; but there never was a greater
mistake in the world. Men, even those
who swear themselves, are disgusted
with profanity in a young man, because
they know how, of all bad habits, this
clings the most closely, and increases
with years. 1t is the most insidious of
habits, growing on so invisibly that
almost before one is aware he becomes
an accomplished cursor.

Paper money is known to have been
used in China from q very early period.
The native banks of Fuchaufu are
quite numerous, and the bank bills in
use are noted for their unique appear
ance, and the difficulty with which they
are eounterfeited. The banks are not
under government inspection or con-
troll. Any individual who has the cap
ital, or any company of individuals
who can furnish the necessary funds
may establish a bank and issue bills,
without getting a charter, or applying
for any kind of permission from the
government. The outline of the bill,
with various devices to make counter
feiting difficult, is engraved neatly on
solid block of brassi in the case Ofwealthy
banks; poor prOprietOrs of banks use
hard wood instead of brass. The right
hand margin is made an inch or more
wider than the lett-hand margin of the
block of brass or wood. The value of
the bill and the day of issue are filled
in with the pen, and one of more words
to facilitate the detection of counter
felt. Various stamps. large or small
round or square or oblong, some o.
which are very curiOusly and elabor-
ately engraved. are impressed on diff
erent parts of the bill, using red or
blue ink. These add very much to the
neat and handsome appearance of the
note, and are believed usually to have
some secret and private mark. From
these and other causes, the notes are
very difficult to initiate with precision
and exactness by counterfeiters. But
perhaps the use which Is made of the
wide margin furnishes the greatest
security against cOunterfeltlng. On
this margin there are stamped o.
written various words. phrases, or
sentences, before the bill is cut Oft or
trimmed and put into circulation.
When everything is ready, these
stamped or written sentences or phra
ses are cut through with sharp knife,
leaving the right-hand margin of the
bill, about the same width as the lett
hand, though it presents a very diff
appearance. OF course, the edge of
the bill, and the edge of the paper
which was cut Oft from it will pre-
cisely match each other, but, as the
sentences have been cut into two
parts, part of the words and stamps
will be on the bill. and part on the
slip of paper cut Oft. These slips are
all carefully kept in a book form
ready for reference, each slip contain
ing tine value, date, and private marks
of a bill for payment. If there is the
least doubt of its genuine, reference
is made to the corresponding proof
slip, and the banker or his clerks
know Immediately whether it is gen.
uine or counterfeit. A successful
imitation of the written sentences and
words. the blue and red stamps,
which are found on the right margin
of bank bill. and which have been
cut through line parallel with the left
hand margin, it is almost impossible
to make so exact, precise and minute
as to fit the preserved prOOf-slip.

How Authors Live.

Hippocrates i'm his celebrated ''Trea-
tise on Diet" endeavored to prove that
all men were born with equal capacity
and the difference in after life in their
mental power was owing to the food
which they ate.
A respectable physician asserts that he
can estimate the caliber of a mans mind
by the state of his stomach.

said he, 81 ate so much of a boiled leg
of mutton that she used to talk of it.
Joseph Addison was very timid in the
presence of those he deemed his supe-
riors, and strOve to bring his courage
up by the use of wine, and finally be-
came very intemperate, which drew
from DR. johnson these memorable re-

way of living that he said of himself he
should have lived "when acorns were
the food of mankind.
Shelley had an ineffable contempt for
all sensualities of the table, and, like
Newton, used to inquire if he had
died.
To counteract tendency to corpu-
lency, Lord Byron at one period dined
four days in week on fish and vegeta-
bles.
Benjamin Franklin contemplated
practicing abstinence from animal food.
II hesitated some time, he says, be-
tween principle and inclination, till at
last recollecting that when cod had
been opened some small fish were found

81 trust everything under God" said
Lord Brougham, "to habit, upon which,
in all ages, the lawgiver, as well as the
schoOlmaster, has mainly placed reli-
ance; habit, which makes everything
easy and casts all difficulties upon the
deviation from a wonted course. Make
sobriety habit, and intemperance will
be hateful. Make prudence habit and
reckless profligacy will be as contrary
to the nature of the child, grown or
adult. as the most atrocious crimes are
to any of our lordships. Give a child
the habit of sacredly regarding the
truth: of carefully respecting the prop
erty of others; of scrupulously abstain
ing from all acts of improvidence which
can involve him i'm distress, and he will
just as likely think of rushing into an
element i'm which he cannot breathe, as
of lying, or cheating, or swearing"

The F.sulou. we.l.. Of the A-e,.. t.

The moderns who are showing such
extravagant taste for art have by no
means reached the appreciativeness OF
| the ancients. Zeuxis grew so rich that
he refused to sell more pictures, and
gave them away to cities; and Nicias
declined an offer from Attalus of f15,-
900 for single picture. Apelles re-
| ceived 70 900 for a portrait of Alexander,
and gave f12 800 for each picture
Protegeus had i'm his studio. Julius
Caesar gave t20, 900 for two pictures of
single figures, one Ajax and the other
Medea: and NJ. Agrippa paid to the
municipality of Cyzicus fl0, 500 for two
more. Lucius Mummius refused f52,-
900 for picture of Father Bacchus, !"
which he had seized in Greece, and
Iiberius gave 60, ,OC0 sesterces, or nearly
f5O0, 900, for a picture by Parrhasius.
Cicero argued that Nerres had COM
PEELED Heius, rich Sicilian, TO part
with little bronze Cupid by Praxiteles
because Nerres bought il for only
Il ,663; and Nicomedes offered to pay
off the public debt of Cnidus, if the
citizens would give him Praxiteles's
statue of Venus in return, and was
refused because il was the glory of the
city. ''But what shall we say of Lolita
Paulina, the rival of Agrippina, whose
dresses alone were valued at 1882 ,9l6!"
Nero gave f19, 9,000, 900 in presents only
rather more than Louis QuatOrZe spent
upon Versailles; and ''there was Pallas,
the curled darling and lover of Agrip-
pima, who was enormously rich, and to
whom Juvenal alludes as type of
wealthy men. He left a handsome es-
tate in lam-I speak only of land now
of some 81 ,92l ,S75. Then there was
Seneca, the philosopher and mOralist,
who always preached the virtues of
poverty and self-denial, and the virtues
of Stoicism, who left about the same
amount, given to him i'm great part, /
suppose, by Nero and Lentulus, whose
real estate amounted to about 81, 229 l66,
and Isodorus, who disposed by will of
4l6 slaves, 1860 yoke of oxen, and 257,-
600 other cattle. These We're all fairly
well off, one might say; but apparently
Marcus Scaurus was superior to them
all in wealth."
These fortunes are perfectly possible,
if we recollect that the wealth of
plundered world was i'm the hands of a
few Roman mobiles; but il must be re-
membered that i'm those days all statis-
ties were more or less inaccurate, that
even now a popular estimate of a mans
wealth is often ludicrously exaggerated,
and that Roman household consisting
of slaves, and food to a Roman noble
costing scarcely anything, his surplus
could only be devoted to the competition
of luxury.-LoRdOn Spectator.

one Little U'0rm.-Two men were at
work together one day in a yard where
ships were built. They were hewiny
a stick of timber to put into a ship. Ii
was small stick and not worth much.
As they cut of the chips they found a
worm-a small worm not more than
half an inch long.
This stick is wOrmy,r said one
shall we put 1t in r
Yes replied the other; 81 think il
it may go in. lt will never be seen.n
THAT may be-" said the first "but
there may be other worms in it, and
these may increase and hurt the ship
"No, think not; F.; never mind, we will
put it in,n said the other.
SO the stick was put in, and the ship
was built and launched. She went to
sea, and for ten years she did well, but
at last it was found that she was weak
and rotten her timbers were eaten by
worms.
But the captain loaded his ship and
filled 1t with passengers, and went
across the sea. On their way storm
came on. The ship tried to mount the
high waves, but at last she sprung a
leak. They had two pumps, and the
men worked at them day and night, but
the water came in faster, until at last
she sank under the waves.
