Swiss Girls and Their Picturesque Cos
tune,

The women of Luzerne are amongst
the best known to travellers in Switzer-
land, their lakes and mountains being
favorite resorts for holiday seekers.
Their personal characteristics are a
tlorid complexion, brown eyes, with a
dreamy expression, and a decided in
clination to e%mbonpoint. Excellent
housewives and faithful helpmates to
their husbands, they divide their life
between attendance at chapel and prepa-
rations for the never-failing influx of
tourists in and out Of season. Their
bearing toward strangers is rather slow
and Shy; and the most conspicuous
features of their attire are a peculiar
shovel-hat of straw, a sleeveless vclve-
teen %corslet, with a silk bodice laced
oven it by means of silver chains and
rosettes an apron of many colors, and
the never-wanting o suspended
from the neck.
OF an altogether different stamp are
lllN HNl wi HlllSs- I SiNll'Ni h.ulNS'
blue eyes, and fair hair, much livelier
and more intelligent than their sisters
in Luzerne, but equally industrious,
good-natured and thrifty. Their cos
tune is conspicuous by a spotless linen
chemise, set off by a red or black bodice
and silver-gilt ornaments. Visitors to
the Bernese Overland are sure to meet
girls hailing from Bricnz, shaped
and graceful brunettes, in a costume
closely resembling that of Berne but
for the straw hat, which is turned down
on both sides. Their melodlous voices
often attract the attention Of the traveller
on the mountain side, and at home he
finds them busy at wood carving, which
they practice with considerable taste
and skill. The inhabitants Of Obwalden

SUSPICION.

Suspicious amongst thoughts are like
bats amongt birds-they ever fly by
twilight. Certainly they are to be well
guarded, for they cloud the mind, they
lose friends, and they check business.
They dispose kings to tyranny, hus-
bands to jealousy, wise men to melan-
chOly. They are defects, not in the
heart, but in the brain. They are but
buzzes, but, If a~rtiicially nOurished,
have stings.-BdcOn,

Hurry and "High Pressure

1t Is the pace that kills; and of all
forms of ''over-work," that which con-
sists in an excessive burst of effort,
straining to the strength, and worry
ing to the will, hurry of all ~kinds-for
ex ample, that so often needed to catch
a train, the effort required TO complete
a task of headwork within a period of
time too short for its accomplishment
by moderate encrgy-is injurious. Few
suffer from overwork In the aggregate (;
it Is too much work in too little time
that causes the break down in nineteen
cases out of twenty, when collapse oc-
ours. Most sufferers bring the evil on
themselves by driving off the days
work until the space allotted for its
performance is past, OF much reduced.
Method In work Ia the great need of the
day. II some portion of each division
of time was devoted to the apportioning
of hours and energy. there would be
less confusion, far less 'hurry," and
the need of working at high pressure
would be greatly reduced, If not wholly
obviated. A great deal has been written
and said of late, to exceedingly little
purpose, on the subject of "oyer- work.
We doubt whether what Is included
under this description might not gem
orally be more appropriately defined as
work done In a hurry, because the time
legltlmately appropriated to its accom-.
plishment has been wasted or misap-
piled. Hurry to catch a train generally
implies starting too late. High pressure
is, says the Lancet, either the con
sequence of n like error at the outset of
task, or the penalty Of attempting to
compensate by intense effort for in
adequate opportunity. If brain is

MOLeS.-A correspondent of she Ohio
OultiuatOr says: "fhere are two kinds
of mOles in this country English and
American. The English mole is rather
small, with short, thick, blue fur; its
feet are large, broad, and powerful,
used in buTrOwing; its nOse is also very
strong, for the same purpose. 1t runs
in burrows, underground generally
have seen it, when plOwed up in corn
fields, burrOw under the loose soil
rapidly, simply by the use of its nose,
going, wen in hard ground, faster than
a dog can follow by digging. | sup
pose this mole hibernates in extreme
cold weather, as ! have not noticed it
during the colder part last winter. !
think for this reason that its food must
be chiefly worms and insects, as these
are all gone in cold weather.
1.-THE other mole is about as large as
a half grOwn rat. It's fur is grayish
brown on the outside, but blue close to
the skin. It's feet are not so large or
powerful as those of the English mOIe,
and its Tuns are mostly on the surface
of the ground, under grass, weeds, or
rubbish. Its nOstrils are extended
beyond all other parts of the nose. Its
smell is very acute, alse its hearing,
but it's vision is poor, makingit depend
upon its smelling and hearing for it's
principal guides in the rapid pursuit of
insects. The mole's mouth has, in the
fore part, four long sharp incisOrs
two in upper, two in lower jaws, like
the squirrel and other rodents. In the
back part of the jaw, at this season of
the year, the teeth are fiat and square,
like the grain-eating aninals-nOt
rounded and sharp as in the animals
entirely in~sect-eating. So their teeth
must have come in contact with some
hard substance which ground of the
sharp points. Again, they have a
double stomach, large and small intes-
tines, ETC., while the animals of entirely
insect-eating habit have a small and
simple stomach. and scarcely any in
testines save the Gsophagus and
nylOrus.n

CoNFECTIoNER's TAFFY. - To four
pounds Of sugar add a full pint of
water, place it on the fire, stir it until
it is dissolved and boil it TO the crack,
at which point you add half a pound of
the best butter, which you have cut up
into small pieces; stir the butter into
the sugar with a wooden spatula as
quickly as possible and add a little
essence of lemon or vanilla at the same
time; now pour it Immediately on the
slab (Which you have previously
slightly oiled or rubbed with butter),
and while it is yet warm cut it into
squares, tablets, or diamonds, to suit
your fancy. Taffy is also sometimes
made without water. The brown sugar
is melted in a round bottom copper
basin with the butter, stirring it con-
stantly with a wooden spatula, it is
then favored to suit your fancy. A few
minutes boiling brings it to the desired
degree, when it may be poured upon
the slab and finished as the above.
