A Nautch Dance,

His Highncss then made gesture and
troop of dancing girls came into the
court yard. 0ne of the features of visit
to Jeyporc is what called the Nautch.
The Nautch is Il sacred affair, danced by
Hindoo girls of low caste in the presence
of the idols in the palace temple \
group Of girls came trOOping in, under
the leadership of an old fellow with n
long beard and a hard expression of face,
who might have been the original of
Dickens Fagin. The girls wore heavy
garments, embroidered, the skirts com
posed of many folds, covered with gold
braid. They had ornaments ON their
heads and jewels in tke side of the noes
They had plain faces and carried out the
theory of caste, if there be any thing in
such theory in the contrast between
their features, and the delicate, sharply
cut lines of the higher class Brahmins
and the other castles who surrounded the
prince. The girls formed in two lines, u

clans, who performed low, growing

temples without some purpose. The
Nautch dance is meaningless. 1t is not

A search for Hidden Treasure.

There sails today from this port the
brig Gipsy with an expedition fitted out
by residents of New York to search for a
Spanish treasure said to have been lost off
the coast of Venezuela many years ago.
The utmost secrecy and caution are said
to have been observed in all the prepara-
tions for the enterprise, and the facts that
can be gathered relative to it are necessa-
rily few. /. w. Lore, the junior member
of Broadway law firm, who is understood
to be connected with the project, stated
yesterday that the expedition was an es-
tablished fact; that the brig gypsy, which
was to carry the company, cleared on Sat
urtlay and would sail today. He said that
what he knew of the hypothetical treasure
he had learned from researches in Venez.
uelan history Further than this he dc.
clined to furnish any information, owing
he said to an understanding with the gov.
ernment of Venezuela, in whose waters the
coveted wealth is supposed to lie.
From the shipping news of yesterday il
appears that the Gipsy is in charge of Capt
Folingsby, and that her immediate objec
tive point is the Barbados. There have
been several other searches made from
time tO time without success for a great
quantity of Spanish gold said TO have been
lost in Venezuelan waters.-[New York

\ Brilliant Hoaxer.

Chester ii. Hull, of California, the
champion journalistic romancer of the
world, whose death has been announced,
had a remarkable record. Many years
ago he told confiding public how a sail
or cast awey on the coast of Siberia, made
his way to an isolated valley of that coun-
try and found there a herd of live mastO-
dons peacefully grazing in the valley.
Scientists who were worked up on the sub
ject talked of sending, or did send-we
forget which-an expedition to find the
home of these ancient mammalla. Hull
afterwards wrote the "Erolite Hoax"
which caused such a stir in geological and
scientific circles that several societies
formed an expedition and actually dredged
the Pacific coast outside of San Francisco
and spent thousands of dollars to find the
meteor that was supposed to have fallen
there from the heavens, when in reality
the erolite had only fallen in the fertile
brain of Mr.. Chester Hull. The same viv-
id Imagination devised method for con-
verting the oceans into seas of smolten
fire, and the savans of the Pacific coast
would have made it the subject of pro.
found investigation except for the an
nouncement that the inventor had been
thrown from a train of cars and killed, tC

cal purpose. Mr.. Hull is said to have died
on the morning OF All FOOLS Day, but per
haps it is only another hoax of Chester
Hull to find out what the journals of the
country would say about the demise of the
champion liar.-Kansas City Times.

THE BACK HAIR.
The Grave, the Gutter and the Kiteh-
en- Furnishes the supply.

False hair having become recognized as
a necessity of the modern female exist
ence, it may be of interest to know how
this constantly increasing want is sup
piled. Live hair (bought ION foot" to use
the technical term of the trade) consti-
tutes but very small percentage of the
stock in market, as, there are few who
wish to part with their locks for money,
and those who have superfiuous locks to
spare grow fewer and fewer every year
When secondhand tresses were needed
merely to furnish wigs for few elderly
ladies, agents found the peasant maids of
Auvergene and Brittany. The present de-
mand, however, greatly exceeds the sup
ply, and il is asserted that Paris alone
uses more than all the available crop in
France, and that Marseilles 0he great Gen.
tire of traffic in hair deals with Spain, the
Orient, and the two Sicilies for forty tons
year of dark hair, Of which she makes
65, 600 chignons annually. Under the
name of dead hair are classed the
''combings" which thrifty servant girls
save up and sell. the clippings of barber
shops, faded curls, worn out switches, etc.
The scavengers of every city, both at
home and abroad, value nothing short of a
silver spoon among the refuse, so much as
the snarl of combings, however dirty, as

ash, carded, sifted, classed, and sorted,
and then made into cheap front curls,

market Much of this enters into the
cheaper grades of the $4,000 pieces
annually made in France, of which enor.

cial value of over $4,000. 1t is an un

The seed bed had the benefit Of the ashes
thus made, also the decayed chips which

The proper proportions of the human
form, as laid down by the best authorities,
are as follows: The height should be ex.

of the middle fingers Of either hand when
the arms are fully extended. Ten times
the length ofthe hand. or-seven and half
times the length of the foot, or five times
the diameter of the chest, from one arm
pit to the other, should also each give the
height of the whole body. The distance
from the junction of the thighs to the
ground should be the same as from that
point to the crown of the head The knee
should be precisely midway between the
same point and the bottom of the heel
The distance from the elbow to the tip of
the middle finger should be the same as
