AMOUNTING THE HEAD,
An Old Custom to be Revived.

The amounting Of the head and beard
with perfumed oils was for centuries =
mark Of hospitality among the Greeks and
Romans, and in some instances the most
expensive oils we're used for that purpose.
Guests and travellers had their hair an.
olnted with olive oil, spikenard, myrrh.
or other preparations, and no doubt an
q agreeable perfume porvaded the apartment
when the hair dressing operation was com
pleted. 10 this day it Is cOmmon in the
HAST for travellers to have their heads and
Boards Amounted with olive oil, and tbis am.
tom will undoubtedly be revived In the
West-eyen, in the Ear West-whcn the
virtues of CARBoLINE are fully known and

ordinary story respecting a monster tel
Escape made by Professors Leftover and
LongtOur, French scientists, and erected
at San Francisco. The lenses are TWEEN
ty feet in diameter, and this is what
happened when the astronomers and
their friends turned the instrument to
the heavens: an. Dufrere was the first
to apply his eye to the eye-piece OF the
telescope. For fully five minutes he
looked on in speechless amazement, then
without word, turned away to hide
his emotion. One by one the gentle
men present tested the telescope, exhi-
biting their establishment in various
ways. The planet which happened to
cast its beams upon the great speculum
was Mars, and the revelation is too won

lowest maSnlfylng power was first plac-
ed on, when the planet presented most
astounding sight. The powerful lens
brought the surface of the planet nearer
than that of the moon has ever been
brought by the most powerful telescope

unmistakable color, and one could al
most imagine that he could see the
waves upon the surface. There before
the eye was spread out a splendid papo,
rama Of hill and dale, dark patches that
must be covered by forests, great yellow,
ish patches that looked like autumn
fields, slvery threads that must be riv.
erS, and several unmistakable volcanoes
in action.
