always remain poor. The lady will be pref
ty, and a little too fond of talking. She will
have two husbands who will die of grief, she
will best know why.
December-The man born in this month
will be good sort of person, though passion
ate. He will devote himself to the army,
and be betrayed by his wife. The lady will
be amiable and handsome, with good voice,
and well.proportioned body; she will be
twice married, remain poor, and continue
honest.
A THRILLING ScENE.-The following Incl.
dent occurred during general review of the
Austrian cavalry few months ago. Not far
from 10000 cavalry were in line. A little
child-a girl-of not more than four years,
standing in front of the row of spectators,
from some cause or other, rushed out into the
open field just as squad of hussars came
sweeping around from the main body. They
made the detour for the purpose of saluting
the Empress, whose carriage was drawn up in
that part of the parade-ground. Down came
the flying squadron charging at mad gal
lop-down directly on the child. The moth
er was paralyzed, as were others, for there
could be no rescue from the line of spectators
The Empress uttered cry of horror. for the
child's destruction seemed inevitable-and
such terrible destruction-the trampling to
death by a thousand iron hoofs. Directly
under the feet of the horses was the little
one-another instant must seal its doom
when stalwart hussar, who was in the front
line, without sackenng his speed or losing his
hold, threw himself over by the side of his
horses neck, seized and lifted the child, and
placed it in safety on his saddle bow and this
he did without changing his pace or breaking
the correct alignment Of the squadron. Ten
thousand voices hailed with rapturous ap-
plause the gallant deed. and other thousands
applauded when they knew. Two women
there were who could only sob forth their
gratitude in broken accents-the mother and
the Empress. And proud and happy mo-
ment it must have been for the hussar when
his Emperor, taking from his own breast the
richly enameled Cross of the Order of Maria
Theresa hung it upon the breast of his brave
and gallant trooper.
The BRAINS OF CRIMINALs.-Professo
Benedict, Of Vienna, has lately made some
interesting researches into the subject Of the
characteristics of the brains Of criminals.
He has 80 far examined the brains of sixteen
criminals, all Of which, on comparison with
the healthy brain, he finds to be abnormal.
Not only has he found that these brains de-
viate from the normal type and approach to-
ward that of lower animals, but he has been
able to classify them, and with them the
skulls in which they we're contained, in three
categories. These consist in {: First, absence
of symmetry between the two halves of the
brain; second, an excessive obliquity of the
anterior part of the brain or skull-in fact,
continuation upward of what we term so-
ping forehead third, a distinct lessening of
the posterior part Of the skull in its long d.
ameter, and with it dmunition in size of
the posterior cerebral lohes, so that, as in the
lower animals, they are not large enoug b to
hide the cerebelum. In all these peculiari
ties the criminals brain and skull are dis
tincty of lower type than those of normal
men, and the interesting question arises, how
far are the evil acts of the criminal to be at
trbuted to this retrograde Development Dr.
Watts can pardon the vicious propensties of
"bears and lions" on the ground that "God
has made them so." If he had foreseen these
new inquiries, he might have felt less hopeful
when he babe his little readers not to "let
their angry passions rise" The results Of
Dr.. Benedict's researches, if confirmed by
further examinations, will do much to shake
many beliefs now firmly fixed.
BLEEDING AT THE NosE.-There are two
little arteries which supply the whole face with
blood, one on each side these branch of from
the main arteries on each side Of the wind
pipe, and running upward toward the eyes,
pass over the out side of the jaw-bone, about
two-thirds of the way back from the chin to
the angle of the jaw, under the ear Each of
these arteries, Of course, supplies just one
half of the face, the nose being the dividing
line; the left nostril is supplied with blood by
the left artery, and the right nostril BY the
right artery. Now supposing your nose bleeds

same way.
GooD EYEs1GHT.-There are many causes
which tend to impair the healthy vigor and
radiant beauty Of the eye. Among these
causes are the following: insufficient sleep,
severe study, writing and reading by gas

All kinds of excesses are sure to be reflected
in that delicate and sensitive organ, the eye.
