FOE THE FAIR SEX.
a Curious Capillary Contest.

An odd competition was recently wit
messed by an American who has just re-
turned from Europe. It was between
two artists in capillary cultivation, a
Frenchman and Swiss. Six ladies,
with abundant hair, submitted them
selves to the contestants to be used as
illustrations of the rise and progress of
hairdressing. The Gaul began with
the mode obtaining in the Scriptural
age, drawing his authorities from Holy
Writ and other records. The Swiss be-
gan with the simple modes of ancient
Greece, then showed how Roman maid
and matron of the later empire built up
and busted with gold, and how the
Middle Ages plastered down their hair
in Europe and frizzed themselves in Asia.
The rolled forehead of the Stuarts, the
tower style of Pompadour, the ringlets
of Anne, the eccentric Georgian styles,
all received rapid and interesting IL
lusuation during two hours, at the end
of which the Frenchman was announced
to be the victor.

Brought Back TO Life.

A most extraordinary case Of resusci-
tation is reported to have taken place
at Raab, about sixty miles from Pesth,
in Hungary. A young convict named
Takacs, who had murdered two women,
was hanged. He was about twenty
three years of age. After the body was
cut down and examined by the physi-
clans life was pronounced extinct. As a
scientific experiment the body was sub
jected to an electro -galvanic current,
and after few hours signs Of life were
perceptible.
The resuscitated convict completely
recovered the use of his senses, and his
first actions were of violence toward the
prison officials by whom he was sur
rounded. He soon began to suffer from
congestion of the brain and became de-
lirious during the night. He made re
peated attacks upon the keepers and
complained Of violent pains, asking
from time To time for milk and water.

How Peter the Great Cut on Reads.

Some of the recent executions in
Russia recall very striking incident
of the reign of Peter the Great. The
Nihilism of that period was represented
by the revolt of the Sterlitz (Archer)
guard, which Peter quelled and pun
ished with merciless severity, behead-
ing man for every turret on the Krem-
lin wall, W hich overlooked the place of
execution. The headsman being fatigued
with the butchery, Peter himself took
his place and struck off twelve heads
with his own hand. The thirteenth was
a handsome young soldier, nicknamed
Orel (Eagle), who, pushing aside his
predecessors headless corpse, cried,
with laugh: "Come, brother, it's
my turn for an audience with the car
nowr Peter, struck with this reckless
gallantry. pardoned and promoted him.
Some French writer's have endeavored
to throw a clothing of romance over
the incident by making its hero the
ears unacknoWledged son, but the re-
spective ages Of the two men rendered
thiS Ell buf impossible.

captured from the Santa Barbara is
lands, California. Every year more or
less of these animals are captured on
the islands for the purpose of supplying
menageries in the Eastern States; and
parties engaged in the business always
go to Santa Barbara, to secure men who
have had years of experience in captur-
ing them. Three or four expert vac
queros approach the animals that are
out on the rocks near the beach, select
(perhaps from hundred or more) the
big bull, which usually starts for the
water. and when the bull arrives at a
convenient place on the sand, three

The RATA that holds the bulls rear flip
pers takes away his motive power, and
while his other front fipper Is lassoed,
the riatas are all fastened to the rocks
or trees near by. or held by the men
engaged, while the large box-which
has already been made-without the
cover, is brought and carefully stood on
end close behind the animal, unob-
served, and with a man on top of 1t, is
dropped over the sea-lion as he lies
stretched at full length Oh the sand.
Small ropes are worked under the box
and the animal and lashed to the top of
the box, and at given signal the riatas
are loosened, the box turned over, and
the animal held on his back in the bot
tom of the cage until the cover is

and riatas are loosened, and the animal

Mhere Oranges Come From.

The domestic product of the United
States has greatly increased within q
few years, and is likely to increase very
much more. The orange is believed by
many to be native OF America, in the
region of the gulf of Mexico, though II
Is probable that it was originally in
troduced there and naturahzed. botan-
lists generally think the sweet bitter
bergamot and other varieties OF orange
all of one species. The fruit is usually
cultivated, and even then shows a
marked tendency to degenerate. IL Is
raised wherever the climate is warm
enough, but fourishes bess in sub
tropical districts. The old Greeks and
Romans seem not to have known it;
for it was, in all likelihood, taken
to Europe by the Moors, and is believed
to have been introduced into Italy as
late rs the fourteenth century nearly
1000 years later than the lemon or cit

varieties are the Portugal or Lisbon
orange, the China orange, said to have
been brought from China by the Portn-
guese, are now widely cultivated In
southern Europe, the Maltese, or blood
orange, the Msjorca, or seedless orange.
The bitter orange was extensively raised
By the MOors in Spain, probably for
medicinal purposes, and IL still used for
fiavoring and for marmalade- The
orange is more readily packed and pre-
served, along with its congeners, lemons

Burmah and It's Peonle.

The following is an interesting account
of Burmah, the country ruled by King
Theabau, who brutally murdered sew
eral hundred of bis relatives last year
Burmah, a kingdom of the Indo-Chinese
peninsula, has. rs it now exists, three
well marked divisions, Northern Bur-
nah, Burmah proper and the Eastern
Shan, tributary states The inhabi-
tants belong to the branch Of the Mon
golide distinguished by monosyllab
la1guag ge; they are short t-headed, broad
skulled, f1at-faced, have black hair, and
dark brown skin, and resemble the
Mongols more than the Hindus. Both
sexes wear white linen jacket, called
in-gie; the men wrapping round the
lower part Of the body the put
so, several yards long, and the women
wearing the te-mine, scant silk
or cotton garment, to which are added
on occasion silks, muslins and gold
ornaments. The men and women alike
smoke cigars and chew betel-nuts to ex-
cess The former are, for the most part,
robust and well-made, and excel in box
ing, rowing. wrestling and other athletic
exercises, and have considerable me-
chanic Il skill. The houses are q frame
work of bamboo, thatched with the
water palm, and are built on posts
several fAet from the ground. The
women, more industrious than the
men, buy, sell, weave and attend TO do
mestic duties Both sexes are very fond
of feasting, sightseeing, buffoonery,
theatricals and buffalo fighting. The
natives are attached to their home,
though they are far from patriotic. With
out individual cruelty, they are indiffer-
ent to the shedding Of blood by
their rulers, and, while temperate
and hardy, are hostile to discipline
and continued labor of any Sort When
in authority they are often arrogant,
tyrannical and corrupt. Besides tha

TelAings, descended from the ancient
Peguans, are largely amalgamated with
the regular natives, and the Shane, or
Tai, the most numerous perhaps of the
Indo-Chinese peoples, are distributed
over the peninsula from Munnipore to
Bangkok. Some of the Eastern Shan
states are tributary to Burmah, others
to Siam, those west of the Irawaddy e

preserved in great purity; its shrines,
temples and monuments are mum berless,

The OId-Time Farm.

Where giant hills sheltered vale enfold,
An old-time farm lies nesting ont Of sight,
The red-tiled homestead peeping toward
the light
Amid grove of oaks, huge-boughed and old;
And ichens, through quaint tenderness grown
bold,
Run riot Ger the place in silent might,
And crimson sunset flashes now tonight
Flash all their grays and yellows into gold.
Here changes come not, nor strangers face;
The winds indeed seem. linked unto the place,
And brings no news Of what the worlds
about;
And as pass along IN strange surprise
The very horses in the stalls look out
And gaze at me with cf Imly wondering eyes.

All the most terrible and deadly
weapons of war have been thrown com
pletely in The shade by the new Gatling
gun which was exhibited recently at
the offices of Sir w. Armstrong, the
manufacturer, in England, before
a number of experts. This fearful
weapon is capable of firing thou
sand shots per minute and killing
man on horse at mile range. It has a
compact appearance, can be taken to
pieces and easily carried about, can be
applied to military and naval use, and
the mechanism of il is simplicity itself;
the revolving band has two compart-
menfs. into which. as they whirl round,
metal cartridges drop from tai, oblong
case fixed over the center of the barrel.
At each turn of the handle ten shots are
fired, and their dispersion is accom-
plished by sliding apparatus. The
size of shot in different calibre guns of
this class ranges from musket balls to
half Founders. By the use of this inn
plement three men can do the work of
three hundred single men. A quarter
of a million of dollars is said to have
been spent en- experiments necessary to
perfect the gun, which is now declared
by every military expert to be com
rlete success.

Antique Tea.Drinking Habits.

Queer stories are told of the advent
of tea in the fashionable market. The
ignorance of it's preparation was H.
limitable, and fine ladies, determined
to tread closely 90 the heels OF fash

in the art of brewing it. One lady,

Dates, to US merely an occasional
luxury, are to the Arab the very
i" staff of lifp," just as his camel is
his " ship of the desert" The date
tree, one Of the large family OF
palms, is a native Of both Asia and
Africa, and will grow readily in any
sandy soil where the climate is not
too cold. 1t was long ago intro
duced into Spain by the Moors, and
a few are still found even in the
south Of France. But the most ex
tensive date forests are those in the
Barbara States, where they are some
times miles in length. The Bedou-
ins, or wild Arabs of the desert, who
consider it beneath their dignity to
sow or plant, or cultivate the soil in
any way, depend upon gathering the
date where they can find it growing
wild; but the Arabs of the plains
cultivate it with great care and skill,
thus improving the size and flavor
Of the fruit, and largely increasing
the yield. In some varieties they
have succeeded in doing away with
the hard seed, and the so.called seed
less dates, being very large and fine,
are highly priced. When ripe, the
date is of u bright golden color, fra
grant and luscious; and in dry, hot
countries, where palms grow, no bet
ter food for morning, noon or night
can be found, while one never
wearies of the sweet, PUPPY fruit,
gathered fresh from the tree. But
the trees do not bear all the year
round, of course, and so the Arabs
make what they call date honey,
using for this the juice of the ripe
fruit, and those who can afford it
preserve dates fresh through the
year by keeping them in close YES
sells covered'over with this honey.
