Henry" writes to learn why it is that one
side of moustache curls more easily than the
other. He says that the right side of his natur-
ally curls upward, while the opposite end as
naturally lops downward This is not nat
ural function of the moustachs. 1t is in the
training. If the owner of the moustache is un-
married, the curl of the moustache indicates on
which side of young lady he most frequently
sits. For instance, if on her right side the left
hand and arm having an office Of their own to
fill, the hand of the right arm is left free to toy
with that side of the moustache, and curling up
the end is its fayorite pastme. This is re-
versed if her left side is preferable to him. AS
general thing, it will be found that young
mems moustaches curl best on the right side.
Ii the wearer is married. the curl indicates on
which side of the church is his pew. If on the
right of the churcn, the curl will be on the left
or the moustache, as this position throws his
left elbow on the back of the seat, thus bring
ing the left hand to his face, when the fingers
naturally fall to work at once. The reverse oc-
ours II the pew is on the opposite side. Henry
can rely. on this information, as it is the result
of years of careful study and research in NOUS
tache statistics.-Danbury Ne1us.

saving the precious lives Of other little ones.
BY chance the common statement, which We
have all read in this country, met her eye,
that in right little, tight little" England
100000 children die annually under the age
of five, and three per cent. of this enormous
number from prevcntable causes. Then sho
began to visit the poor and to talk with moth

she gave them instruction in regard T. prcpar-
ing nourishing food, and she herself provided
large quantities of cdihlcs suitable for sick

tended her plan to include Il day nursery,

We can pass the grave of man with some-
what Of indifference; but when we survey the
grave Of female, sigh involuntarily escapea
u.s. With the holy name of woman we ascot.
ate every sort Of tender and delicate affection.
We think Of her as the young and bashful vir-
gin with eyes sparkling and cheeks crimsoned
with each imprisoned feeling Of the heart as
the chaste, virtuOus matron, tired with the fol-
lies of the world and preparing for the grave
to which all must soon descend Oh there Is
something in contemplating the character of
true and womanly woman that raises the soul
above the common level Of sO.called society,"
She is formed to adorn and humanize mankind,
to soothe his cares, and strew his path with
flowers. In tine hour of distress she is the rock
on which he leans for support, and when fate
calls him from existence her tears bedew his
grave. Can you look upon her tomb without
emotion?
Man has justice always done TO his memory;
woman never. The pages of history lie open
to one, but the meek and unobtrusive excel
lencies of the other sleep with her, unnoticed,
in the grave. In her may have shOne the
genius of the poet, with the virtues Of a saint.
She too may have passed along the sterile
paths Of existence, aud felt for others the
same emotions that we, now standing above
her grave feel for her WIDOW"
