A French Bride Of the Bourgeaise Class.

AT railway station of a village few
miles out of Paris, / saw, a few weeks ago,
a French bride accompanied by her hus-
band and long procession of friends.
They were evidently well-to-do people, be-
longing to the bourgeoise class, They had
eume out by the train to celebrate the
event by little journey into the country.
According to custom, the bride dressed in
white satin shoes, but no covering on her
head or shoulders. The other ladies of the
party dressed in white, black or lavender
silk, made with demi-trains aud basques,
but perfectly plain skirts, made for ''best"
evidently, years before, and kept strictly
fol occasions of ceremony. One, rcmenn-
Der, was a lavender moire antique, yet the
wearer had on black lace fichu, and all
the party wore white kid gloves and very
such rank never buys her wedding dress,
which is always the traditional white silk
or satin and orange blossoms. She hires it
for the day, having no use for it afterwards.
and there is French superstition against
the bride keeping her wedding dress and
saving it away it is considered unlucky.
Yet it must not be supposed that these
people are very poor and could not afford
to buy dress. The bride of whom have
spoken brought her husband dowry Of
10000 francs, and was going straight to
housekeeping in a well-furnished etags
above her husbands shop. In fact, they
are often in possession of Ave times as
much real wealth as we who get up grand
display weddings and par $500 for supper
Or breakfast from q ressaurataer.-

Tabby's Curiosity Satisfied.

| The Virginia (Nev) Enterprise tells this
affecting story: "Charles Kaiser, who
has the only hive of bees in town, says
that when he first got his swarm his old
cats curiosity was much excited in regard
to the doings of the little insects, the like
Of which she had never before seen. At
first she watched their comings and goings
at II distance. She then f1attened herself
upon the ground and crept along toward
the hive, with tail horizontal and quivering.
1t was clearly evident that she thought the
bees some new kind of game. Finally she
took up position at the entrance of the
hive, and when bee came in or started
out, made a dab at it with her paws. This
went ON for time without attracting the
special attention of the inhabitants of the
hive. Presently, however, old Tabby'
struck and crushed a bee on the edge of
the opening to the hive. The smell of the
crushed bee alarmed and enraged the whole
swarm. Bees by the score poured forth
and darted into the fur of the astonished
cat. Tabby rolled herself in the grass,
splitting, sputtering, biting, clawing, and
squalling as a cat never squalled before.
She appeared n mere ball of fur and bees
as she rolled and tumbled about: She was
at length hauled away from the hive with
a garden rake, at the cost of several severe
stings to her rescuer. Even after she had
been taken to distant part of the grounds
the bees stuck in Tabby's fur, and abont
once in two minutes she would utter an
unearthly 'yowl' and bounce full yard
in the air. On coming down she would
try to scratch an cal, when sting ON the
back would cause her to turn succession
of back somersaults and give vent to
running fire of squalls. Like the parrot
that was left alone with the monkey, old
Tabby had dreadful time. Two or three
days after this adventure Tabby was caught
by her owner, who took her by the neck
and threw her down near the beehive.
No sooner did she strike the ground than
she gave fearful squall, and at single
bound reached the top of fence full six
feet in height. There she clung for mo-
menl, with tail as big as q rclling-pin,
when with another bound and squall she
was out Of sight and did not again put in
an appearance for over a week

THE rRoTrrNe RACE.
To Remove Particles from the Eye

Whenever fly, or other insect, small
flying seed, quick-lime, dust, or any other
minute object, gets into your eye, do not
adopt the common habit of rubbing. or
even washing with water, but gently raise,
or get gentle hand to raise for you, the
eyelid, aud bend the head forward. In
keeping thus the eyelid elevated, and the
eye quiesceut for few moments, one feels
the flow of tears starting from the organ
which seldom fails to bring along with it
the cause of the pain, or at least carry it
toward the corner of the eye next the nose,
from whence it may he removed by fine
handkerchief folded to a point. If this
operation is not sufficient, then finger
ought to be passed frequently, yet gently,
from the exterior corner of tae eye toward
the interior corner, by which means the
substance is made TO descend toward the
the lachrymal glands, from whence it may
be drawn by a fine hair pencil. If the ir-
ritating substance still remains, then we
are further instructed that "the upper eye
lid must be taken as before, and kept ele-
waited as much as possible, and the eye
being then turned toward the nose, very
fine camePs-hair pencil dipped in cream,
oil. or perfectly fresh butter, without an
atom of salt in it, remember, must be in
troduced between the eyelids and the body
of the eye, beginning at the exterior cor
ner and ending at tie interior corner.
If the very fine hair pencil is not success
fnl, you win be almost certain to succeed
with one rather larger. Should all these
efforts fail, which is extremely unlikely if
they are properly performed, do not set to
work rubbing or washing the eye, as you
must obtain professional assistance. Be
sure TO bathe the eye in cold water as soon
as, and for some time after, the substance
has been extracted.

POET R 2.
FISHERS OF MEN.


Down the calm river they leisurely foated
There. in a nook that was shady and cool,
They brought out their lines ard their hooks were
all coated
With bait, well adapted the fishes to fool.
Mabel was with them. and Lizzie and Laura,
Maidens light-hearted. and merry and fair;
Each bestowed smiles on her favorite adorer,
Destined, perchance, to fall into her snare.
Idly they play with their lines in the river;
Little they cared though no fish should be
caught:
Fondly each hoped that the fates would deliver
Into her keeping the lover she sought.
Lightly they talked upon themes with which Gu
pid
Had lavishly filed both their hearts and their
brains, .sr... ~. ..=.4
And laughingy said that the men were all stupid,
The while they were artfully weaving their
chains
The day passed away and the fishing was eaded;
Pleased with themselves the fair innocents
looked;
They gazed on their victims, and each compre-
hended
The fish she had angled so long for was hooked.
Then back to the town the young men rowed
lightly,
Their baskets all empty--that fishing was tame,
While on each other the nsaidens smiled brightly:
The fishers of men had won at their game.

The Diamonds of Burnah.

The Indian princes and mobiles are greedy
o! diamonds beyond all people, and there
is but one country in the world where
any product of nature is held more precious
than the wonderful eombustible gem, but
whose genesis is still moody question for
science. That country is Burmah, the
land of the White Elephant, where the fl
nest jewels sheltered in the earths breast
are found, and are rated far above dia-
monds.
AS the King of Siam prizes his cats, SO
the King of Burmah prizes the rubies of
his country, jealously prohibiting the ex-
port OF them, so that the beautiful alumni
GUS stones-which do but glow with a
clearer and richer color when they are ex
posed to fire, in which the diamond would
be consumed and disappear-can only be
procured by stealth or favor of private in
dividuals. No European has ever been
permitted to see the Kings wonderful

traordinary quality the sale Of the two

England in 1S75-the finest ever known in
Europe-causcd such excitement that
military guard had to escort the parties
conveying the package to the ship.
Five days journey southeast of Ava lies
the home of the blood-red gems, the jeal-
OPS earth in which people believe that they
ripen becoming from their original color
lessness, yellow, green, blue, aud last of
all the matchless ruby-red. Next to these
rank the rubies which are found in the
Tartar wilds Of Badakshan, in which the
people there believe are always found in
pairs. When one of the seekers has dis
covered one, he will hide it until its mate
IS found.
Mr.. Streeter knows of only one specimen
of a red diamond, which is like gem on

A Snake Show in Calcutta.

We were shown into stone-foorcd room
some 20 feet long and - broad. In the
boxes were the strongest and deadliest
snakes in India: pythons, ophiophagi, CO.
bras, korites, Russell snakes, and many
others. The Hindoos who had charge of
them two slim, wiry, little men, nude to
the waist, as most Of their countrymen are.
They wore neither gloves nor had any other
| protection, and had no instrument of any
kind in the place.
After showing the varied collection under
their care, they proceeded to open the py-
thon cage, and one of them, putting in his
hand, seized monster serpent and threw
him upon the floor close to our feet. The
python objected to such treatment, and be-
gan to hiss, making at the same time Wig
orous+effort to rise. But the snake keeper
was waiting for this, and no sooner did that
hugo, shining back begin to curve than the
keeper put out his hand, and, seizing the
creatures tail, pulled it back with jerk.
instantly tho python was powerless-hiss-
ing, but unable to move the more he
struggled, the more teBaciously did the
keeper hold his tail, meanwhile explaining
that SO long as the reptile was controlled in
that fashion there was no danger of his do
ing mischief; then, just as its rage was be-
coming ungovernable, the man lifted it
quickly and with a jerk deposited it in the
box.
The fact that an ophiophagus is in the
Regents Park Geological Gardens, London,
rendered the neat exhibition more inter-
estlng, although it may be doubted wheth-
or the sudden throwing into SO small a
room of snake seven feet long was agree
able to visitors. However, there was re-
ally no danger, for the venomous creature
was so completely in the keepers power
that we had no occ aston 10 fear. One bite
from the reptile, and any one of us would
have been dead in five minutes, for it was
exceptionly strong and lively; but it was
no more able to bite us than the little mon
goose Gagged outside The door. Up rose it's
head, ont came its slithering tongue, its
eyes dilated, it's hugh throat swelled, and
all seemed ready for a desperate attack,
when the keeper struck the reptiles mouth
with the back Of his hand; and before it
could strike him had seized it just under
the head. Then 1t struggled, but only to
get await had met that native before,
and did not at all approve of his treatment.
Its tongue might move in and out as often
as it pleased, but all to no purpose and
when the cage was opened it skunk in.
