inch deep, yet when covered with shired
SATIN it makes the small bonnet much more
dressy than were the closer fronts worn dur
ing the winter. The best Partisan milliners
have sent out this new shape in the most
expensive braids, trimmed with the richest
materials used this season.
The Nevada (Cal.) Herald has been
shown curiosity in the shape of a trout
which had become petriffed in the root of a
tree. The fish measures about six inches in
length, and shows very plainly the spots on
its sides and back. It is very perfect, and
looks almost as if ready to glide TIN ough the
water. 1t was washed out of a mining
claim about two years ago. 1t must have
run into the hole in the root of TIE tree for
hiding place and there have been caught
and petri6ed.
There is a law in force in Arizona
under which every person butchering cattle
for public use is required to file a bond in
$1,000 with the county commissioners, cons
ditioned that he viii keep the hide and ears
OF every animal killed for the space of
twenty days, for public inspection, and that
he will keep a record of all cattle purchased
by him, and of all brands and marks on
same. A fine of from fifty to one hundred
dollars is imposed for every. day on which q
butcher carries on business without having
filed such bond.
The Russian peasants, though officially
under medical supervision, find it herd to
secure the services of doctor. The physi-
clan of district with perhaps fifty thousand
inhabitants scattered over fifty square miles
can but hurriedly pass through the village
once every month. Under these circum>
stances many of the peasants, when sutferin g
from disease, resort to coniurers, who prac-
ticestheir incantatiOns with holy water, and
to the trainers of tanned bears, who lay the
sick man on the floor and compel beaI to
walk over him several times.

pates Cheap and NutritIOus FoOd.

The attention of the poorer classes is
directed to the suitability of dates as an
article, says an English exchange, OF
food at once cheap and nutritious. Dates
are extensiveiy consumed by the lower
orders in Egypt, as also by the Arabs in
the Persian Gulf, with whom oates and
bread form the principal diet: Those in
better circumstances cook them in differ
ent ways, such as frying them with q
little butter or making them into an
omelet with eggs. Formerly, the only
dates imported into the London market
were those from Egypt, called Tahlat,
which were aud are still sold by grOcers
at from eight pence to ten pence per
pound. But the Tafilat, albeit q large
and fine looking fruit, have q tough skin
and are far less EucculenJ and nutritious
than thoss now brought from Ai'BRsrah
and the Per-ian Gulf These latter are
disposed of Wholessle in boxes or straw
sacks at from ten shilliDgs to fourteen
shillings per hundred>weight, and are
hawked about the street for from two
pence to four pence per pound. a more
general demand Tor the fruit would
probably lower tie retail price; and it
would be q great boon to the poorer
classes il they could be convinced that
one pound of dates, costing about three
hslf-pence, contains as much nutriment
as half pound OF meat, ard much more
than the same weight OF many of the
articles Of food for which they pay six
or ten times the price.

Should surgeon once obtain repute,
deservedly or otherwise, his fortune is
certainly made. The most ridiculous
circumstances often insure to him this
good luck, and the amount of money he
receives yearly is sometimes very sur
prising. General Cunynghsme was told
that a medical practitioner lost his credit
by simply prescribing the use of liberal
ablutions TO an elderly lady. Her hus~
band WAS dreadfully angry, making his
remonstrance in the following terms /:

More than one hundred thousand tons

The iron will be used in Pennsylvania, in

Farmers in the eastern part Of Penn

The Canadians are greatly incensed at
finding that many of their merchants, Just

which have escaped the duty and are now

English newspapers very rarely con-
tain in the obituary column notice of q
funeral, because, except in the case of an
eminent public person, 1t is not desired
that any but near relatives and very inti-
mate friends should attend, and men worth
million go TO their graves with less pomp
and parade than a New York car-driver.

OYSTERS in California, Ike those of

Therefore PFcific oyster beds can only
be kept up by constant renewals of

cessful experiment was made last au>
tumn which promises large extension.
Three hundred thousand dime-sized
oysters from Baltimore were planted
at Benicia, thirty>six miles up the bay

They are now full size, very lat and

merely for the prospect Of Iucre. At
Seville, Spain, the other day, two bombs
were thrown into the church of San An
tonic with the object (unaehieved), it is
thought, of creating a panic and stealing
the sacramental plate in the confusion.
Nobody was killed, happily, though a
number of persons were wounded. Such
an attempt would hardly have been made
here. Men who wanted to steal here
would have gone among the worshipers,
suddenly assaulted the priests, and car
ned eff the sacred vessels. This plan
would have succeeded better, no doubt,
than the Spanish plan, lacking in intelli-
gence, discernment and boldness. Not
long since, in French town, four scoun-
drels wishing to rob bureau de change,
set FIRE to an adjoining house and carried
of two infants, while the third and
fourth entered the Office too late. and
failed in their undertaking. They were
all arrested subsequently and viii be
sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.
If they had combined upon the objective
point, they would probably have got
the money, and perhaps have escaped.
But by making side issues for the pur-
pose Of distraction, they were bafled.
The atmosphere Of our republic emulates
common sense and practicality. Rogues
here, whether native OF foreign, seem to
get clearer ideas of how rascalities should
be perpetrated than they have in the old
world. They do not waste force and life.
They are less cruel, because more intelli-
gent and more direct.

THE impulsive generosity Of Colonel
Aston, who was murdered in the Geor.
gia state capitol, is disclosed by the an
nexed story: A few years ago he was
on Georgia railroad train bound for
Augusta, when a woman with three
children, In abject poverty, entered the
cars and Wled the conductor to pass
her and her children without the usual
fare, telling him her circumstances, and
saying she would certainly starve un>
less che could reach her friends OF
course the conductor had to tell her
that she would be put oil at the next
station. Alston heard the story and
pulled out his purse but he had not
money enough to pay the poor family's
fare, and 80 pawned his watch for the
remainder until he could reach Aug nsta
and borrow it.

Why Dick Catlin Does Not Battle.

1t was SAbbath in the little town of

little town came the stage. Dick Oatlin
was the driver, and better one never

warm sun thaged the old mans heart,
and the memory of old times stole into
his soul, bringing back again the days
gone by the swimming, apple-stealing,

fell across q nook. Dick pulled up, and,

streak of dust away of through the
sage brush was all that the poor fellow
could see. Now came the tug of war
The team kept the road, and Dick knew
that by cutting across the country and
running he could head them of. There
was no one there to witness that race,
and to laugh at that big, burly, stark
naked man, outrunning the jack-rsbbits
in the valley of Beaver. When he over
took the stage and got the team under
control he didn't say much, but, picking
the cactus and the sage and the grease
wood from his limbs, he swore that if
the good Lord would forgive him that
time he would never wash any more.
And to this day Dick has kept his
promise,
