Buying Cheap Things.

One who knows what she is talking
about says this of a prevalent vice:
Don't be tempted to purchase things
because they are cheap. The shop
windows and the counters fairly over
flow with a bewildering tide of lowell
ness, marked down, every wave and
ripple of 1t, to prices which are amaz-
ingly low. But nothing is really cheap
to you if you are not in need oft. Fin
drawer or closet or wardrobe you have
a dress which a little skill and manage
ment can treshen up and renovate,
don't buy another. Some ladies never
have any rich and handsome dresses,
because they spend their money con-
stantly on cheap fabrics or on the thous-
and tempting trinkets, ties, laces and
articles of ornament which are spread
out in witching variety in the fancy
stores. Every summer brings with it
quantities of imitation stufls, which
look very pretty when first made up
and which have the effect, for a little
while, of better goods. Alas! it is only
for a little while.
The sudden shower, the insinuating
moisture of a damp day or the inevita-
Bile crowding of a street car, does for
them. Their flimsy and forlorn appear
ance, when the first gloss has gone, is
an offence to all people of taste. 1t is
economical to buy the best that you can
afford. A good, stong article in wooden
or silk can be worn year after year,
turned, redyed, combined with some
thing else, handed from mother to
daughter and from sister to sister, re-
naming presentable through all chang
es Of ownership, till it finally gladdens
the heart of the washer-woman's little
girl. If you cannot compassthe means

What the Blind See.

Mr.. Levy, in his work on "Blindness
and the Blind" says: "When passing
along a street l can distinguish shops
from private houses, and even point out
the doors, windows, etc, and this
whether the doors be shut or open.
When a window consists of one entire
sheet of glass it is more difficult to dis
cover than one composed of o number
of small panes. From this 1t would APP
pear that glass is a bad conductor of
sensation connected with this sense.
When objects below the face are per-
ceived the sensation seems to come in
an oblique line from the objects to the
upper part of the face. While walking
with a friend in Forest Lane, Stafford,
l said, pointing to a fence which sep
arated the road from the field: Those
rails are not quite as high as my
shoulder
"He looked at them and said they
were higher. They, however, measured
three inches lower than my shoulder.
When / made this observation ! was
about four feet from the rails. Certainly
in this instance facial perception was
more accurate than sight. When the
lower part of the fence is brickwork'
and the upper part rails, that fact can
be detected, and the line where the two
meet easily perceived. Irregularities
in height, projections and indentations
in walls can also be discovered. A sim
liar sense is found among the animal
creation, and especially in bats, who.
have been known to fly about without
striking against anything after the cruel
experiment had been made of extract.

The Digestion of an Ostrich.

All our fond old beliefs are disap-
pearing one after the other. Nero was,
1t now appears, a rather estimable mon
arch than otherwise; Richard the Third
had a great number of good points in
his character, and now we are informed
that the digestion of the ostrich is by
no means what people imagined. The
bird is generally considered capable of
enjoying life heartily OIL a diet of ten
penny nails and copper bolts. In fact
he is supposed to possess the happy
faculty of assimilating any substance,
whether hard or soft, without the
trouble of mastication. Whether this
theory holds true or not in regard to
metals and stones, 1t now appears to be
a complete delusion in respect 10 the
BIRDS digestion of fimsy trifes. His
interior economy may be capable, per-
haps, of converting door knockers into
food, but it is altogether non-efIective
with lace and fine linen. This novel
fact in natural history is established by
a correspondent of Land and Water, who
about eight months ago, brought home
an ostrich from Buenos Ayres. The
interesting pet was duly established in
a garden, where he had the run of
everything, including the green crops
and wall nails. Perhaps these supplies
fell short for a time, or the bird may
have wished to vary his diet. At all
events, he began to commit depreda-
tons on whatever garments were placed
out to dry on washing days in the gar
den. The cooks Sunday cap was the
first article missing; afterward other
articles vanished, the final theft being
that of three lace collars. Soon after
p~artaking of this light meal that feath-
cred gourmet began to show signs of in
disposition, and, in spite Of the best
medical advice, he gradually wasted
away, until death relieved him from
further suffering. On a post-mortem
being held it was discovered that the
lace collars, coupled with two baked
potatoes, had proved too much for the
birds digestive powers. His death was
thus due - like many human misfort-
unes- to the love of dainty dress, In a
primitive state of society, such as os-
triches are accustomed to, strings Of
beads generally fulfil the purposes of
lace collars, and beads are digestible
enough-by ostriches. How, then, was
the poor bird to have known that the
means which serve civilized bellies for
the enslavement of men are not equally
innoouousp For the future, when 1t is
said of any man that che has the d.
gestion of an ostrich" It will be neces-
sary to understand that the smile only
holds good In regard to substantial ar
ticles Of dietry,-London Globe.

THINGS 10 RENEMBRR.-Remember
that mirrors should never be hung
where the sun shines directly upon
them. They sOOn look misty, grow
rough or graduated, and no longer
give back a correct picture. The ANAL
gam or union OF unfoil with mercury,
which Is spread on glass % form a look
ing glass. is easily ruined by the direct,
continued exposure 10 the solar rays.
Remember that lemons can be kept
sweet and fresh for months by putting
them in a clean, tight cask or Jar, and
covering with cold water. The water
must be changed as often as every other
day, and the cask Kept in a cool place.
Remember that a tablespoonful Of black
pepper will prevent gray or buff linens
from spotting, If stirred into the first
water In which they are washed. Ii
will also prevent the cOlOrs running,
when washing black or colOred cam
brics or musiins, and the water is not
injured by il, but just as soft as before
the pepper was put In. Remember
that one can have the hands in soap
suds with soft soap without injury 10
the skin, if the hands are dipped In
vinegar or lemon juice Immediately
after. The acids destroy the corrosive
effects of the alkali and make the hands
soft and white. Indian meal and vim
egar or lemon juice used on the hands
when roughened by cold or labor, will
heal and soften them. Rub the hands
in this; then wash OFF thoroughly and
rub in glycerine. Those who su fer
from chopped hands in the winter will
lind this comforting.

Mayenee. the Golden.

hayence, Tor Mainz, as 1t is the
mother tongue), was called the
golden" partly for its actual wealth
OF old, partly for Its agricultural and
vineyard riches, and partly as the
centre OF an immense river trade that
enriched every city on the Rhine, from
Worms to Cologne especially. Here the
archbishops reigned paramount sover-
elgns, and here were fought many
hard battles between what called itself
the Church and the people. Mayence
once cut Itself of for several years from
all Christian services, and held its
spiritual sovereign at bay, though now
It's religious spirit Is undeniable; but
then how much have the represe nta-
tiVes of the Church changed! To-day
they are humble, poor and accessible to
all; then they were naughty, warlike,
uesDotic and rich. To-day, they are
well nigh prosecuted, and the hearts of
the people generously urn to them, and
II principle and policy can ever be said
TO go together, 1t is so in this case. But
let the circumstances he reversed; |
wonder would the lesson be remem-
bered : Here, where Archbishop Willigis
In the tenth century prosecuted the
Jews, and made up to the city for it by
building the grand st. Stephens, and
the earliest part of the cathedral; here,
where terrific invasions of barbarians
and massacres of Christians gave color
10 the legends that ascribe the founda-
ton of the city TO a Trojan hero,
Moguntius, or to an exiled wizard of
Ireyes, fourteen hundred years before
the Christian era; here, where %ecclesi-
astical quarrels and popular tumults
were things of daily occurrence, and
where one of the best minnesingers,
Henry, Count Of Nielsen, surnamed
Frauenlob, or "Ladies' Praise" was
carried to his grave in the cathedral
by twelve maidens of the town, there
stirs to-day a spirited though common
place life, the link Of which with the
ulu lhC lies III IuC lHNelIlOn COm-
memorated by ~Gutenberg's monument,
one of ThOrwaldsen's best works. Old
and new jostle each other in our be-
wildered minds. There are draw
bridges, towers and gates still to be
seen; the old city is a future important
military depot. The Carnival scenes
merrily take us back to the costume if
not the n n of the Middle Ages;
and some of the old Meenzer dialect is
still preserved among the quaint knit
ting women, with frilled caps and I'M
calmly baskets, who drive a small trade
in stout stockings for the country peo-
pie as they jog In to market. Then we
pass st. Adams Church, where Charlie
magne's wife, Fastrada, is buried, and
where her husband drew from her dead
finger an enchanted ring, which he was
glad afterward to throw into the moat
at his castle Of Nieder Ingelheim.-
