his coat may be all right, but it is we'll for even
the smartest of lis to be cautious.
- It's astonishing, says the New Orleans
Bulletin, to see how little there is of some 10
dies in these days of contracted skirts.
- The lead in lead pencils is not lead at all /,
though it is called black lead. The weight, if
nothing else, tells you that. 1t is a mineral,
called graphite-from the Greek word to write
and is more nearly related to coal than lead.

a city paper offering to send information OF
mothod of preventing such scattering for fifty

"A Southern clergyman has lately pub
lished some of his "recollections," which in
cluded the following anecdote of the war: II
once heard q visionary criticise the slow move
ments of the Confederacy in its conduct of the
war. He broached a plan of his own, by
which, without possibility of failure, an army
could be marched right through the North,
and scrape up all the money in Philadelphia,
New York, and Boston, and come back by sea,
bringing the spois in safety to Wilmington.
He mentioned, with an air of consummate trl-
umph, that he had disclosed the plan to Gen.

fess land have no doubt that he did 1t With

- Mr.. James Campbell, the chief steward
at vassar College, says that the young ladies
at the College are given to eating confectionery
between meals, and considers that the use OF
candies in that manner is certainly hurtful to
them, but the appetite for it seems to be fixed,
and therefore he attempts to meet the situation
by putting fine candies upon the table. Candy
eating by girls between meals is, in his opinion
fully as bad habit as cigar smoking by young
men. The extravaganza of it is also to be de.
plored. One lady pupil in the College uses il
to an extreme, and not long ago, she had
package of candy sent to her from New York,
the bill for which amounted to $40. If one
young lady hands it around freely, another
thinks she must, too, and then there is no end
to the outlay of money for it.
