Echoes from the Centennial.

In the rear of the collection of filigree
jewelry and cheapIy-mounted mosaics in
the Italian department, main building,
are some articles of virtu which are
worthy of description. Slowed away at one
end of the space is an ingenius invention
for supplementary steering apparatus
to be rugged to ship when the storm has
carried away its rudder 1t is simply
gigantic metal fan to be lowered to the
position Of the ruddor post and spread
out by machinery when down. In
storm it is very unlikely that this piece
of mechanism would be of the least
avail, or that it could stand the force of
the elements. but when the storm has
spent its force it would prove Of great
value to bring into port vessels that have
entlived the weather, and are adrift upon
the vastly deep for want of steering ap-
paratus.
Another interesting article to be seen
in this section is the veritable violin up
on which Paganni electrified his hearers.
1t is guarnerius, made at Cremona a
great many years ago. and is for sale at
price that certainly borders on the do
main of fabulous as far as the violin
market is concerned There can be no
question but that it was remarkable
instrument when Paganini handled ii
and extracted from it the combinations
of sweet harmonies which have made his
name famous.

HINTS AS TO BEAuqY.--There is moth
ing more uufavorable to female beauty
than late hours. Women who. either
from necessity or choice, spend most
of the day in bed, and the night in work
or dissipation, have always a pale, faded
complexion and dark-rimmed, wearied
eyes. Too much sleep is almost as hurt
full as too little, and is sure to give the
person unwholesome fat Diet, also,
has a marked influence upon personal
beauty. A gross and excessive indul-
gence in eating and drinking is fatal to
the female charms, especially when there
is great tendency TO making flesh :"
Regularity Of time in the daily repast
and good cooking arc the best means of
securing, not only good health. but good
looks. The appetite should never be
wasted during the intervals between
meals on pastry, confectionery, or any
other ticker of the appetite, which graft
fies the taste, but does not support
the system Exercise is, of course, es-
sential to female beauty 1t animates
the whole physical life, quickens the
circulation of the blood, heightcns the
color, develops the growth, and perfects
the form of each limb and the entire
body. 1t also gives beauty and grace
to each movement.

Pharisee and Saduoee.

Both doubtless on devotion bent
The parson preached with 1uont ease
On Pharisees and Sadducccs;
And as the homcward slowly walked
The lovers ON the sermon talked
And he--he deeply loved the maid
In soft and tender accents said
Darling, do you not IT. NIX that VIC

In one swiA look Of ycxei surprise,
Aud then he hastcn0d TO nver

That you are very fair, ! see
