towering portals which give en-
trance to the local exhibits Of
La Vile dc Parisand the GaItrc
DIES Beaux-Arts are equally dis
astrous examples of dctcrior.-
ted taste, in the way OF meagre
and povcrty-stricken design,
bolstered up by excess Of carv-
ing, gliding, and adornment of
every degree of garnishess. It
is very irritating to observe this
land to contrast it with the ex-
quisite refinement and taste
which the French madeller and
art worker bestows on the con-
ception and execution of the
most trifiing bi5elot-a mirror,
a washstand, a lady's chatelaine,
a pen tray, or a paper weight.
Abating the displays Of Seyres,
Beauyai and the Gobelins, the
carpets, the marble statuary,
and Gustave Dore's vase, there
is very little on a large scale in
the French department that can
be called elegant. The little
things are supremely tasteful
and beautiful. They seem to
have gone to work more ear
nestly and more thoughtfully in
the illustration of the products
of Lilliput than in those Of
Brobdignag, and after all the
author of the Iableau de Paris
may have been hitting the right
nail on the head in saying that
Frenchmen are always serious
in little things, and always friy-
lous in great ones.

How a Fly Walks on the
Calling.

/ have no doubt that when
you have been at the seaside
you have often noticed the limp
cts which stick SO hard to the
rocks. There they stick, how
ever the waves may beat against
them, and they stick hard, too
harder than the strongest &C.
ment could fastcn them. Have
you ever tried to pull one of
these limpcts from its place? If
you have not, / can assure you
that you or l might pull and
pull away without moving it a
quarter of an inch. The same
power that enables the limpet
to hold on so firmly to the rock
enables the fly, by means of
those little hairs, to trot about
upside down; for in principle
the swelled-out ends of the hairs
act in precisely the same man
ner as the. body of the limpet.
With little trouble we can
make, out of simple materials,
very good imitation Of one of these
hairs, sufficiently large to see how
they act. First we must get bit
of the kind of leather that is used
for the soles Of boots. 1t must be
about the size of a silver dollar,
and also Of the same shape. We
must then fasten to it yard of
string, by means Of hole picked
in the middle Of the leather, a
knot at the end of the string, pre-
venting il from coming away.
fhis knot should be hammered
against the hole that no air can
get through the opening, or our
experiment will fail. Now, with
this simple contrivance we SHALL.
If we have made it properly, be
able to lift stones of several
pounds weight. But before we
try to do so we must take care
that the leather at the end of tie
string has been soaked some hours
in water TO make it soft and pill
able. We will now take hold OF /
the free end of the string, ard
drop the leather upon the stone
we wish to raise. On gently pull
ing the string we shall find that
he leather has taken such a firm
hold upon the stone that
we can carry it from place 10
place; we shall find that it re-
luires some force TO separate them
The reason why the leather
sucker" as it is called, scts IL
bis way is because when we pull {
.he string we raise up the centre {
If the leather, and make a little /
ent-shaped hollow space there /
between the sucker and the stone. {
rhe cir cannot get into the little s
;hamber thus formed, for the soft,
vet leather fits closely 10 the I
tone all round it. Bat the air ,
ries With might and main to force /
is way il, and it presses SO close. |
y upon the sucker that it ac'ual- $
y sticks it ell the firmer to the
tone. The force that is exerted !
lpon the sucker is called atmospbe. =
ic pressure. and is exactlythe same :
'pwer which keeps the limpet on !
be rock and the fiy's foot on the i
eiling.

a Boys Lark.
The Dog that Worried the Cows
that h early Killed the Parson.


& thrilling occurrence is re
fportcd from Evanston, H., and
as it is probably the first in
stance on record in which tn
bustie OF lovely woman becam
an implement of crime, the cas-
is thus immortalized by th
Cleveland Leader. There wa
a boy in that town named Da
ley. The boy had a dog, whicl
Ihe was accustomed to taking
with him on his daily excursion
to certain suburban pasture
fields to drive home the COWS
On the 9th inst, young Dale,
found, on his way to the pasture
something white and rnffied ami
mysterious. He did not know
whatit was, but it was too beau
tiful TO throw away, and th'
happy thought struck him tha
it might be intended as an or.
namental portable awning for 6
dog. So he called bis dog ant
tied the gay device around it:
body just behind the fore legs
This held the wavy friIls of
the tournure aloft like cano.
py. Thus caparisoned the dog
pranced along gayly in front of
his master to where the COWS
were quietly grazing in the
fields. Immediately there was
wild commotion. The COWS
knew in a general way some
thing about dogs, but an animal
half dog and half bird, with a
towering banner of whalebone
and wire and muslin floating in
the summer wind, was to them a
new and terrifying spectacle.
They eyed the approaching ter
ror moment, then tossed their
heads, turned tail, and broke in
a wild stampede for town. The
frantic herd burst from the end
of the lane into the main road
Just as a grave ard serious ex-
minister OF the Gospel-whose
sands Of life had nearly run,
&c. came driving along. Him
the cows needed not. The dog,
with his phenomenal attach
mont waving mp and down was
behind, and they cared for moth
ing in front. One jumped a.
cross between the horse and the
vehicle, two others dashed a
5ainst the wheels, capsizcd the
Elder into a ditch full of mud
IS water, and left the buggy
standing on its beam ends with
-wo wheels in the air. Then
he horse caught sight of the
log and ran after the cows,
the vehicle 10 atoms
md distributing it along about
wo miles of the public high |
way. The COWS, reinforced by |
he flying stecd, carried the viii
age like an invading army, and
uch was the terror and surprise
If the people thatthey have since
lone little else but talk about it.
Nhe minister crawled out of the
Itch and began legal proceed
ngs against the boy, who came
ntu town by side street and
Tipped up the back stairs sup
,erlcss 10 bed. The dog with
he hustle saw that he had over
lone the thing, and crept under
barn. The problem that abb
orbs Evanston is where to
classify the crime of that boy
lnder the statutes of Illinois.

But getting clase. saw her nose
Was crooked, and couldn't 60 1t.
A crooked nose! crooked nose!

And tume and fret, when she might get

An index true, the heart discloses,
And that each hook and twist and crook
Some secret mental trait exposes.
And when her beak is thus oblique,
Her mind Is crooked as her nose Is.
