EE- A Chinese firm in San Francisco
received twenty dozen stogy brogans, for
which there was said to be no market in
the Sandwich Islands, and which accord
ingly had been shipped back to America,
where they were made, claiming exemp-
tion from duty, as American goods which
had been on speculations. The circum-
stance being such an unusual one, the
custom-house officers suspected that the
heathens had been putting up trick, and
an investigation was made. 1t turned out
that the heels of the shoes were hollow,
and when sent to Honolulu contained
about a quarter of pound of opium. A
duty of thirty-flve per cent. on the value
of the shipment was imposed before the
goods were delivered. The Importation of
opium is forbidden in the Sandwich Is
lands, and lovers of the drug there pay
$50 pound for it. AS it costs $14 a
pound in Frisco, the smuggling operation
must have been fat thing"

eB- A St. Louis man scared his wife
nearly out of her wits by pretending to
commit suicide. His name is Joseph II.
Dana. As a pc liceman was passing Dara's
house, be heard a pistol shot, followed by
a scream. He rushed in and found Mr.
Dana lying on the floor apparently in the
agony of death, with a pistol by his side,
and his wife doing enough screaming for
dozen ladies of her build. Mr.. Dana sat
up and explained that it was one Of his lit
tie jokes that he was ''making believe"
to suicide, to see how his wife would take
it. The officer was matter-offact man,
and although Mr.. Dana smiled all over his
countenance, he could not see it in any
other light than disturbance of the peace

Self-Defence Among Plants.

In recent lecture Mr.. Francis Dar-
win gave some curious instances of the
way plants are protected from insects
and other dangers. Opium, strychnine
and belladonna, he said, three of the
most deadly pOisons, were all formed by
plants as a means of defence to preserve
them from cattle. etc. A curious use
was made of this poisonous property, as
recorded by Livingstone, who states
that at one place in South Africa the
natives were in the habit of catching
their zebras by MASKING up some poison
Gus plant in their drinking places Pop
pies are protected by poison from the
attacks Of goats and probably of other
cattle. The strychnine plant was good
example of the way in which poison was
limited to the part Of the plant where it
was needed. Almonds were also pro-
tected by poison, cultivators generally
sowing the bitter kind, as the sweet kind
was eaten by mice. Other plants were
protected, not by strong poisons, but by
some aromatic substance. The fennel,
anise and carraway seeds were examples
of this, which were not eaten by the
birds on that account. The lime, which
was protected by this aroma, was able
to grow wild and bold its own any
where, whereas the orange, the citron
and the olive requires to be carefully
preserved and watched. The mint was
another example of plant protected
against cattle by this aromatic princi.
pie. Flowers are often more aromatic
than the leaves of the plant on which
they grow, and owe to this principle
their safety from attack, and caterpillars
will even starve TO death sooner thar
eat the flower of plant the leaves o
which they readily devour. Water
plants are unprotected, for the reason
that water was protection enough. TIL,
most peculiar protection perhaps wa
that enjoyed by the common lettuce
which, when pricked, even by an aunt
foot, spurted up a sticky juice, and en-
veloped the intruder, who, biting tn
leaf from vexation, drew down upol
himself fresh shower of cabbage wrath
in which the unfortunate ant wa
drowned.

Some pretty new founces have the

New ocket-handkerchiefs not only

vided into four sections by cross OF
| Breton insertion.
Some of the new painted fans are of al
ternate sections of black and colored
satin, with wreaths Of painted roses be-
| tween the sections.
Plated black Breton lace is novelty
which is used to trim light black ma
terials with, such materials as plain and
striped gauzes, and grenadines, both
plain and striped with velvet. Black
silk dresses are also trimmed with this
lace. These plaitings are generally
placed around paniers and princess
waists, with the addition of jet passe-
menterie.
One of the quaint and pretty fichus,
made up with Breton or old-fashioned
point lace, to be worn with summer cos
TUNES, is of fine India muslin with a
plated frill of lace. The neck of the
fichu is finished with turned over and
very large square collar, which is also
edged with frill of lace and open to
show the neck.
Dress fans are in the Pompadour shape,
half of circle being formed by the
sticks and the feather tops. The sticks
are of red tortoise shells or ebony; the
feathers of different birds supply the
tops; curled ostrich, peacock-eyes, pea
hen feathers and golden pheasant
feathers are much used. New fans to
be worn with the summer dresses OF
monte cloth or cambric have ebony
sticks with Pompadour linen tops; these
fans are mounted with silver, and have
ebony and silver chatelaines.

appear and multiply, and soon the car
rot itself will be completely enveloped

age. The water should be lreplenished
every day, and not allowed to be left
half absorbed. This is very pleasing
experiment. The carrot should be laid
in cold water few hours before scooping

FOX THE FAIR SEX.
Old RIaids and Oid Bachelors.

Old maids are useful. They can cook,
sew and take care of children. nurse sick
people and generally play the piano.
Old bachelors are useless. They do not
even know how to drive nails or split
wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants
anything done that requires patience and
kindness of heart, a single lady is sure
to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They
snub children, despise babies and hate
young mothers, and are always so busily
employed in seeing that other people
take good care of them that they have
not moment to give to any one else.
Old maids are nice looking and young
for their years. Old bachelors gener-
ally have red noses, rheumatism in their
knees, bald heads, and mouths that turn
down at the corners.
Old maids can make a home of one
little rUUuI, aud vUvh ue11ClUus- meals fe,1
one over the gas jet in cunning little tin
kettles, besides making all their own
wardrobes. Old bachelors need an army
of tailors, walters, cooks, distant rela-
tives and hotel landlords to keep them
comfortable. When old maids are i'll
they tie up their heads in pockethand-
kerchiefs, take homeopathic pellets
out of two bottles. alternately, and
get well again. When old bachelors are
i'll they go to bed and send for four doc
tors, have consultation, a mantlepiece
full of black bottles, all the amiable mar
ried men who belong to the club to sit
up with them at night, besides hired
nurse; they telegraph to their relations,
and do their best to impress the world
with the idea that they are dying.
When an old maid travels she takes
sandwich, a piece of poundcake, bot
tie of lemonade in a hand basket, and
lunches comfortably in the carriage.
When an old bachelor travels he orders
a dinner in courses at the station, and
raves because he has not time to. eat it be-
fore the fifteen minutes for refresh
ments are over.
Old maids drink weak tea, and it cures
their headaches. Old bachelors drink
strong liquor, which gives them head
aches. ....
Old maids are modest; they think
their youth is over and their beauty
gone. If, after awhile, some autumnal
love is given them, they take it as a sort
of miracle. and hope people will not
laugh at them for marrying so late in
life"
Old bachelors believe that all women
are in love with them, and that they
must carefully guard themselves from
traps laid to inveigle them into matri-
mony. They also fondly cherish the be-
lief that, should they eventually become
married men, the world expects them to
exhibit great taste in awomen by their
choice, and that the "other fellows
will laugh if their portion be not tender
youth and beauty; also that when they
marry, many women will expire Of
jealousy--Ratral Nee0 Yorker:
