The Paris girls look like their grand
mothers now, and perhaps wear their
grandmothers' hair, for they have adopted
short curls into their coiffures, and instead
of the fringe of hair across the forehead
it is arranged in long, formal spit curls,
or in a row of straight little curls in the
style of Nine. Sevigne.

wife, who has bought some new curls)-
" But, my darling, you will never be able

"A little boy was run over and killed
by a street-car in Philadelphia the other
day and no less than fourteen different
parties identified him enormously One
woman wept over him as her son, and
on examining his clothes found her mis-
take. Fathers, brothers, sisters and rela-

The new reformatory prison for
women convicts in South birmingham,
Mass, is divided into three sections, the
strongest being for the most intractable
inmates. Those who have children under
eighteen months old will be allowed to
retain them, and occupy special apart
ment; and for those who are too depraved
to be placed side by side with unhard-
ened women twenty rooms are provided
in which they must work alone.
The Chicago Advance credits to a
Massachusetts paper the following aston
ishing statement: "The sermon was
listened to with much interest, and
evinced well-chosen points, backed with
clear, convincing proofs, decorating
through the earnestness of true seeker
for the welfare of his numerous parish
toner's. No dimlnution of vigor enrapts
the halo of Rev. Mr.. -, but with una

stroke his well-chosen attitude, posture
and declamatory argumentative proofs.
Richard A. Proctor, the astronomer,
thinks he has cause to complain of the
intelligent compositor. He wrote of his
chart of %, ABA fixed stars, and had the
pleasure of seeing the number reported
in one journal as 2,2424. Another time
he referred to the "lines, stripes and
bands of the violet end of the spectra,
which the compositor transformed into
links, stripes and bonds of the violent
kind of spectres. -"
When the Soldiers Home at Knights
town, Ind, was on fire, and every body
else had abandoned the burning building,
Ida Wishard, at the imminent risk of her
life, CROPPED her way through the smoke
and heat up to the attic, and rescued
two little boys who were asleep there
and had been forgotten. With child
under each arm she CROPPED her way
down three flights of stairs, and happily
reached the ground in safety.
Walking along the street the other
day an English officer saw approaching
him man in tatters carrying tray, on
which were some pies, marked one penny

a brother officer, who had served in the
same regiment some years previous.
He accosted the poor fellow, and was
sympathizing with him in his sad plight
and altered circumstances, when the
other exclaimed: Hang your pity. Buy
pie"
When Senator Bogy, of Missouri, re-
Gently dead, left his home to study law

mother the'following singular document:
