A Cars Costly LEGs.--In India four men
bought quantity of cotton in copartnership.
That the rats might not injure it, they bought
cat, and agreed that each should own one of
its legs. Each leg was then adorned with
beads and other ornaments by its owner. The
cat accidentally injured one Of its legs, and the
owner wound rag around it, soaked in oil.
The cat, by chance, set the rag on fire, and
being in great pain, rushed among the cotton
bales, where she had been accustomed to hunt
rats. The cotton was totally burned. The
of their cotton, and the Judge decided that
as the injured leg could not be used, the cat
carried the fire to the cotton with her three
remaining legs. They only were culpable,
and their owners we're required to compensate
the owner of the injured leg for his share of
the loss

deranges and weakens the physical system.
On the same table lies a newspaper. 1t is

intelligence from the four quarters Of the

that there is large number of people who

A Vicious STALL1oN's AFFECTION FOR A
CHILD.-At Wards Corner, Delaware coun-
ty, Iowa, Alfred Bush owns French stallion.
Since he purchased the animal it has shown
most vicious temper, and is unsafe and dan
gerous to handle. Mr. Bush has son two
years old, for whom the horse has formed a
great attachment, and the two frolic together
strangely. The boy will put his hands in the
horses mouth, pull out his tongue, seize his
tail and swing with it, climb up his legs-in
fact, do whatever his childish freaks prompt.
For hours they thus play together, the horse
apparently enjoying it as well as the boy, and,
what is singular, the horse will allow no one to
come near while the boy is with him, and is
especially cautious about injuring the boy

Washing the Head.

With those who wash the rest of their
body often except the head. the prac-
tice of smearing it with oil almost
universally prevails. The Easterns
do the reverse-they shave it. A
greater comfort there cannot be than
a bald pate. Washing the head is in
one case prejudi, ial. Unless you
wash the head the washing Of the
body is neither complete nor satisfac-
tory. The refreshment OF washing
the head may often be procured when
it is impossible to wash the body.
Soap and water are injurious, not to
the h .ir but to the hairdressers. The
men OF the f ist have 20 hair to show;
but if soap and water injure the hair,
whence comes the luxuriant album
dance of that of the woman? The
hair of the head, like the fur of ami
mails, is made TO bear wind and rain.
and 10 be a protection against them.
You cover it up. The fur Of animals
thickens and strengthens when ex-
posed to all and wet. Your hair falls
off aud you oil it. If it grows weak,
change its habits. II Ii is not washed.
and il it is oiled, begin to wash it and
leave off oiling it. Every week an
Eastern lady has her hair thoroughly
washed at the bath. 1t Is first well
soaped and rubbed. They are very
particular about soap, and use none
but that made of olive oil. The Cas-
tile soap, which 10 this cou TRY is sold
at the apothecary's, is the soap the
least Injurious to the skin. This is
twice repeated. After the soap. they
apply a paste of American bale aud
rose leaves. This Is rubbed into the
roots OF the hair, and left to iInbibe
all the grease OF the head; il Is then,
like tho soap, washed Off with bowls
OF hot water, and leaves the locks
perfectly clean and silken. From
time to time they dye il. On these
occasions an attendant m xe5 up a
handful of henna dust in hot water
and thoroughly smears with 1t the
hair, which is then turned up into a
ball and bound tightly with napkin.
In this st tie they go through the bath.
When the napkin is removed, and the
henna paste washed our, the hair. be-
fore black, will have become OF a
bronze auburn, and IL gray red. The
bath occupies from three TO four
hours, with the smoking, chatting,
music ard dancing which accompany
il, ia an atmosphere which excludes
every unpleasant sensation.

1t cannot be too often repeated.
that one OF the most dangerous
places in which to seek shelter is
under large tree. OF all the per-
sons and animals killed by lightning
probably eight ten'hs have been de-
strog ed under or near trees. Ok
trees more frequently than any
others draw lightning from the
clouds. partly, perhaps. because the
close grain Of the oak increases its
conducting power. and partly because
the sap OF the oak contains large
quantity OF iron in solution, which,
by impregnating the wood and bark,
has the same effect. But no tree In
this country enj )ys the exemption of
the India banyan, which, at least
as the. Hindoos believe, is never
touched by lightning. The Pitts
burgh Commercial takes the disaster
at a picnic near that city as a text
from which to give its readers some
good advice about avoidine trees in
thunder storms, and makes the prac-
tical suggestion that the proprietors
Of groves frequently rented for pic
MICS and such entertainments in the
summer, should provide one or more
substantial sheds for the accommo-
dation OF parties in case Of sudden
storm.

when IL comes, must be considered
not bal thing but a good thing.
Since the Almighty sends death to
every one OF His creatures to whom
He has given life, since death Is as
universal as life, death must be a
blessing as we'll as life. S Jme great
