A SINGULAR PAIR.

A singular being, or rather a pair of SIM
gular beings, were not long since on exhi-
bition in Paris. The elder was born in Rus
Neither his father or mother differed from
ordinary people in appearance, but Andrian
was known as a dog-man, his face being so
covered with hair as to present a striking
resemblance to the face Of a Skye tarrier.
In order to escape the derision and the un-
kind usage of his acknowledges, Andrian
in early life fled to the woods, where, for
some time, he lived in a cave. During this
period of seclusien he was given to drunk
enness. His mental condition does not
seem to have suffered, however, and he is
on the whole OF a kindly and affectionate
disposition. He is of medium stature, but
very strongly built. His excessive capilla-
~ development is not true hair, but simply
hairs which usually cover nearly the entire
surface of the human body. Strictly speak
ing, he has neither head hair, beard, mus
tasche, eyebrows, nor e%yelashes, their place
being taken by this singular growth oflong
silky down. In color this is of a dirty yell
low; it is about three inches in length all
over the face, and feels like the hair of a
Newfoundland dog. The very eyelids are
covered with this long hair while flowing
locks come out of his nostrils and ears. On
his body are isolated patches, strewed but
not thickly with hairs one and a half to two
inches long. DR., Bertillon, OF Paris, COM
pared a hair from Andrian's chin with q
very fine hair from a mans beard. and
found that the latter was three times as
thick as the former and a hair from An
driaa's head is only one-half as thick as an
avelage human hair. Andrian's son, exhib-
itedwith him, was marked in the same way
with hair. Both father and son are almost
| tootlless, Andrian having only five teeth,

INFLUENCE OF AFFECTION.

There is a good deal of cant about invol-
suntary affection in the world, and all that /;
but a young lady should never let such
foolish notions enter her head. She should
allow the pride of conscious strength of
mind to keep her above every foolish, vain
and nonsensical preference toward this pre-
cious fop, and that idle attendant on a la
dy's will. She should lay it up in her heart
as an intnutable principle that no love can
last if not based upon right and calm estl-
nation of good qualities; or at least, that
if the object upon which it is lavished be
not one whose heart and whose head are
both right, misery will be her portion. A
sudden preference for a stranger is a very
doubtful kind of preference and the lady
who allows herself to be betrayed into such
a silly kind of affection without knowing a
word of the mans character or his position
is guilty Of an indiscretlon which not only
reflects u%nfavorably upon her good sense
bat argues badly for the nature and ground
work Of that affection.

a WORD FOR THE GIRLS,

81 will say but one thing in praise of my
daughter" said a happy father at that
daughters wedding breakfast. She is a
thorough and practical housekeeper." Could
any compliment have been higher? What
an Endorsement it was of the good sense and
prospective comfort of her husband! Fora
man has so much Of the animal in his ma
ture that he cares more for a good dinner
than he does-so long as his appetite is un-
appeased-to listen to the music of the
spheres. Heavy bread has made many
heavy hearts, gives rise to dyspepsia and its
herd of accompanying torments. Girls who
desire that their husbands should be amiable
and kind should learn how to make light
bread. A story is told of a happy wife.
when asked how she managed her husband
so successfully, replied with aroguish smile,
"My dear, fl feed him WELL" There is a
great deal in that. Those wives who are
entirely dependent upon hired cooks make a
sorry show at housekeeping. The stomach
performs a very important part in the econ
omy of humanity; and those who are for
getful of this fact commit a serious mistake.
Even the lion may be tanned by keeping him
well-fed.

4 PERPLEXED ACTRESS.

When the renowned Mrs. Siddons was
playing in Dublin, she, as Lady Macbeth,
to that part where a drum sounds, and
she eXclaims, GA drum a drum !! Mac
beth doth Gomez There was some difficult
ty or neglect in obtaining the necessary in
strument, and so to her amaZement a trum.
pet sounded. She immediately saw how
absurd it would be to say "drum" while
the we'll known sound of the other met the
ears of the vast'audience so she said," GA
trumpet! a trumpet! !" and stopped short
amid breathless silence, not knowing how
to rhyme it, when a voice from the gallery
called out Macbeth doth stump it, at
which the house broke out into one peal of
laughter and applause, anl the tragedienne
advanced to the footlights' and bowed her
acknowledgements for the relief. She af-
terward tried to find out who it was, but
failed TODD so, and never forgot what she
considered the most genuine piece of wit
she ever met with in all her experience.

THE POOR GENTLEMAN.

There are more young American men in
the p%enitentiaries of this country learning
trades than there is outside of them. The
principal causes of this are that we are edu-
eating our young men for gentlemcn-try-
ing to make lawyers, preachers, doctors
and clerks out of material that nature in
tended for blacksmiths, and bricklayers,
carpenters, %tailors, and other honest "hew-
,ers of wood and drawers of water" 1t is u
mistake, and a big one, to teach boys and
girls that to laborls disgraeeful, and that
to do nothing for a:living is more becoming
to society in which they expect to move and
have the respect of. Hang such society (! 1t
lis rotten to the core to-day, and there are
many mems sons and daughters who are
now being educated to play the parts OF
"leading lady'' and !" walking gentleman
in the great drama OF life, who will ligh1

fore they have played their parts and ths
curtain drops. Go to work.-Comier Jour

wearing with thin dresses.
Satin ribbon will be used in preference to
gros grain for trimming.
Outside cuffs are made of silk pleatings
with f1uted lace on each side.
Pulled sleeves and Medici rufus are an
nounced as the next caprice.
Fashions demand for jet still continues,
and it will be worn more than claire de lune.

mourning for fastening the veil and shawl.

square bands of colored merino, catstitched
down with colored floss silk.
Long sacques, resembling swallow-tail
coats, and showing light vests, will be a fav-
orite design for walking suits.
Handsome toilet mats are made OF rows of

A SCENE I'M A RAILROAD CAR.

The following laughable incident is told
by a w%ell-known Government o~ffice-holder
who has nothing to do but ride on the cars
he rides free-and who has numerous tales
to tell of his observations and experience.
There were two seats in the car turned 50 as
to. face each other. One was occupied by a
lady and the other by a Chinaman. She ex-
planned to him that she wanted to take the
cushions and their frames and place them
lengthwise across from seat to seat. John
said "All lightee!" and got ont in the aisle,
while she proceeded to lie down on the bed
thus improvised, with her head resting on

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.

The following is the Chinese version of
Mary and her lamb:
Was gall named Moll had lamb,
Fleas all sameswhite snow.
Evly place Mol gal walkee,
Ba Ba hoppe long too.
We heard a son OF Erin trying to surround
Mary and her little lamb the other day, and
this is the way he understood 1T:
Besorry, Mary had a little shape,
And the wool was white intoirly;
An wherever Mary wud shtir her sthumps,
The young shape would folly her completely.
