Curious Oriental Dress.

The black garments which have given
a distinctive name (Siah) to the race
(the people of Kafristan) apparently
differ in various tribes. Those on the
Kabul side wear entire goat.skins with
the hair on. The Bushgalis, a main
tribe dwelling southwest of Cbitral,
wear tunics with half sleeves, of black
woven goats hair, reaching nearly to
the knee, gathered in at the waist with
a leathern belt, from which hangs a
dagger, and with q broad red edging
along the bottom. Where the Kafrs
abut on their Afghan neighbors they
are found to be gradually adopting cot
ton clothing, The women, however,
appear to adhere to the traditional garb,
which consists in their case of sack like
garments Of black woven goats hair,
with long, loose sleeves, reaching to the
ankles, and gathered in loosely at the
waist with q colored cotton scarf bound
tightly over the shoulders. The men
shave the whole of the head, except u
circular patch about three inches in di-
ameter, whence the hair is allowed to
grow long and hang down behind, often
to the waist. The Bushgali women wear
curious head.dress, consisting of q
sort of black cap with lappets and two
horns about foot long made of wood,
wrapped round with black cloth and
fixed to the cap. A somewhat similar
fashion prevailed in our island in the
reign Of the Plantagenets, and strange
to say, the Chinese pilgrims, Sung Yum
and Hwen Thsang, noted like peculi-
arity in vogue in Turkestan in the sixth
and seventh centuries Of our era,-Loa-
dom Times.

Elephantlne MOraliIy.

Hundreds of men aud women have
laughed over the amusing picture of the
monkey using the cats paw to take
chestnuts off the hot stove. Perhaps a
few Of the lauRhers have recognized
themselves either in the monkey or in
the cat.
Yet it is a common practice to use
others to do that for us which We would
not do for ourselves. We may think
that we thereby escape responsibility.
But the legal maxim which asserts that
what one does through another he does
himself, is not only good law, but good
morals. He who influences another TO
act for him is responsible for the charac.
ter of that others action.
Singular as it may seem, elephants
who have associated with men also
entertain the notion that they are not
responsible if they use some one else to
do wrong act. An anecdote will illus
trate this elephantine morality.
A gentleman in Rangoon bought
three young elephants to send to Eng
land. They were tame and playful, but
cunning. Knowing that it was wrong to
steal paddy (unhusked ce),-the idea
had doubtless been impressed upon
them by punishment for stealing,-they
would not touch it themselves. But
boy went to see them, he would be
seized by one, the little trunk coiled
around his arm, and he be led to where
the paddy was kept in bags.
The elephant would make a cats paw
of the boys hand to take up handful
of paddy. Then letting go, he would
turn up the end of his trunk, open it.,
and coaxingly invite the boy to drop in
the paddy.
Should the boy, however, put it back
in the bag, his arm would be again seized
by the trunk, and his hand again inserted
into the paddy-bag.
The boy, anxious to be released,
would usually drop the paddy into the
trunk, and the elephant would blow the
rice into his mouth. After repeating
the operation several times, the elephant
would scamper off, feeling that he had
got the paddy without stealing it.
There are not few men who have
that elephants notion of morals, and
congratulate themselves whenever they
have made another person do "smart"
thing for them. Iomh'S Companion.

DR.. Bragge's collections of pipes now
on view at the Alexandra Palace offers.
says the the London Times, one of the
most interesting of minor art exhibitions.
Mr.. Braggo's collection includes speci
mems, of all countries and belonging to
many periods, of the craven images and
idols of clay which have been dedicated
to the worship Of tobacco. From France
come pipes of Sevres made in the
national porcelain factory; from Germany
old Dresden pipes and the pipe formerly
smoked by the giant in possession of the
guilds at Cologne from Holland sew
eral hundred of the aesthetic clay called
early Dutch" collected by Heer Van
der Want, Master Of the Pipemakers
Guild at Gouda. The Dutch contribu-
ton includes also specimens of the bride
grooms' pipes, clay omamented with
ribbons, which the farmer of the polders
smokes on the day of his wedding and
then lays by on the shelf, to be taken
down once a year when the anniversary
comes round of the momentous occasion.
This pipe is regarded with great interest
by smokers as an example Of the various
uses which tobacco serves in calming
feelings of ecstatic JOY and mitigating
the pangs of regret, There are 700
early English pipes, Scandinavian
pipes, with modern ruins inscribed upon
them, Siberian bowls, the consolation of
the exile, made of hard wood and man.
moth ivory Basque pipes and the costly
meerschaum and amber toys smoked by
pachas in their saraglois. Ninety-six of
the japanese pipes are in ivory, twenty
four in wood, horn, rock crystal, agate,
etc. The carving illustrates the social
life of Japan in It's most amusing rela-
tons. One pipe which formerly belonged
to Enomoto, foster brother of the i'm
peror, bears the imperial symbols, and
the central portion is entirely inlaid
with gold. The bowls are extremely
small. A pipe contains merely Whit.
A piece of tobacco is rolled mp to the
size of pea, and one long, soothing
inhalation exhausts it. The smoke is
retained for some time in the lungs, rs
is usual in the East. 1t is no matter of
surprise that according to the Earl of
Elgins mission, japanese will smoke
fifty such pipes in morning. From
China come the opium pipes, which
balance the finances of India-tubes of
Jade or tortoise shell, bowls Of silver and
enamel. Hookahs from India, the calu-
NETS of peace and war from North
America, the pipes of the Aztecs and
Caribs, the latter called "tabaco,"
whence the European name of the weed
originally consumed in them is said to
be derived; pipes smoked at the great
"customs" in Central Africa, the
sperm whales teeth carved into bowls,
pipes from Caledonia and New Guinea
are also to be seen at Muswell Hill.

FASHIONS.

Immense bows of white satin ribbon
frequently take the place of corsage
bouquets, being placed on the left side
over the supposed region Of the heart.
The favorite dress of the esthetes is
of null, cream-whitc, pale rose, blue or
mauve, with fchus and sashes, tied high
up under the arms
Gay, striped awning cottonades are
used for the skirts of country dresses,
to be worn under flannel polonaises, or
jackets and overskirts.
Dotted and sprigged white and cream
colored muslins, trimmed with italian
lace, make beautiful, inexpensive sum-
mer dresses.
Parasols this season are as varied in
form, material and decorations as any
other part of woman's wardrobe
effects.
When summer dress does not fit
well it is best to cover the corsage with
o pretty fichu, crossed on the bosom.
The advantages Of the artistic esthetic
costume is its comparative cheapness
and its not going out Of fashion.
1 Shoulder capes and large mautles of
net chenille are the wraps Of high cere-

Content.

Didst ever hear the moon complain
Because twas not the sun;
Or know star to sigh in vain
To be a brighter one2
Methinks the smallest orb that glows
In yondor fields Of light,
Its brightest, purest lustrc shows,
To glorify the night.
What if the brooks should cease to be,
And hush their prattling tone,
Because the music of the sea
Was grander than their own?
But ripping DER their shining sands,
They keep the meadows green
Unmindful of the wondrous lands
The ocean rolls between.
For every mountain peak snow-clad,
Majestic and alone,
A thousand little hills are glad
With verdure overgrown.
And from each leafy grove and vale
Such dulcot music flows,
Each bird might be nightingale
And every flower rose.
So, in the earth beneath our feet,
In skies above us bent,
In lonely path, OF crowded street.
God teaches us content.
Then why, my soul, shOuldst thou repinc,
Though poor thy gifts, and small,
And iew the blessings that are thine2
His love is in them all.
And thou canst learn while others teach,
Canst list while others sing,
Aud loving God, at length canst reach
The good in everything.

"All right" said Saul, pacifcally, in

Then Saul Hobson grew red in his
turn.

"wbat's to pay?"
"Fourpence and twas worth every

He flung down four penny pieces
noisily upon the table.
"There, then and now the glass is
mine, and can take it home?"
"Of course you cam" she reioined,
haughtily and sarcastically, "if you've a
mind to go filling up your place with
poor broken stuff like that. Take it
and welcome"
"There's no welcome about it; I've
paid for it, and it's mine"
With these words Saul Hobson rose
to leave the "Three Fawns," carrying in
his hand the broken tumbler. At the
door he met the landlord, who had been
out.
Good evening, Saul where are you

"Home," said Saul.
