Personal Peculiurltfes,

About forty years ago, had lad in
my employ who had the habit, when un-
eXpectcdly spoken to, of pricl,ing up his
ears III 80 decisive manner rs to remind
one of the ears of Puss or of Tray when
suddculY called. Maria Louise, the
second wife of the great Napoleon, was
i'll tho habit cf amusing the ladies of her
court ut their private soirecs by turning
her ears almost completely round, and
III manner closing them up. She did
this by peculiar motion of the jaw, and
; she is said to have pridcd herself on the
| exploit not little.
n man L knew we'll wore IN enormous
shock of raven hair, and would allow
| himself to bo lifted by the hair from the
ground by any one who was strong
enough to do it, and to be swung to and
| fro like pendulum, or to be dragged
along the floor.
The faculty of sleeping at will was one
| OF tho cndowmentR Of the first Napoleon
who it is said could sleep any length OF
time, long or short, and awake at the
time, almost to IL minute, he had resolved
| upon.
Among the muscular movements not
common, l have noticed several instances
of persons who could throw buck the
four fingers of either hand until they
stood quite perpendicular to the back of
the hand and wrist. Other instances I
have seen though but few, of persons
who can project the lower Joint of the
thumb almost into the hollow of the
pnlm. In neither of these cases il the
use or the ordinary symmetry of the
hand ut all affected. OF lcft-handcd peo-
pie we have all seen many, and they
abound among the working classes; but
OF the artibandist, or both handed, that
is, OF persons who could do everything
with either hand, us well with one us the
other, L have known but one in the
whole course of my life. This was nl
orphan boy who had no parental care,
but had been left almost to himself from
infancy. Quick, active, and sharpwit-
ted, he had taught himself many things
tolcrably well, could draw fairly, could
play the fiddle and flute, and wrote ad-
mirably and with unrivnllcd raDidity
with either hand.

How Il Woman Docs 1t.

Some crusty old curmudgeon thus
tells how q woman goes to work to mail
n letter. It is a libel Oh the Sex. Some
of the girls will make it red hot for him
if he is discovered. Any day when you
have time You can see how she does it
by dropping into the postofiice She
arrives there with letter in her hand.
It is a sheet of note in Il white envelope.
She hnlts in front of the stamp window,
opens her mouth to ask for n stamp, but
suddenly darts away to see if she has
made any errors in the names or dates.
1t takes her five minutes to make sure
of this, and then she balances the letter
on her finger, and the awful query arises
in her mind ''Pcrhaps it is an over
weight" She steps to The window and
asks the clerk if he has thrcc-cent
stamp, fearing he hasn't. She looks
over every compartment in her portmo-
naic before she finds the change to pay
forit. The fun commences rs she gets the
stamp. She fddles around to one side,
removes her gloves, closely inspccts tho
stamp and hesitates whether to click it,
or wet her finger. She finally concludes
it would not be nice to show her tongue
, and vets her finger and passes it over
envelope. She is 50 long picking up the
stamp that the moisture is absorbed and
the stamp slides off the envelope She
tries it twice more with like success, and
getting desperate she gives the stamp n
click" and it sticks. Then comes the
sealing of the letter. She vets her fin
ger again. but the envelope flies open,
and, after three minutes delay she has
pass her tongue along the streak of dried
mucilagc. She holds the letter long
time to make sure that the envelope is
all right, and finally appears Mt the win
dow and asks "Throc cents is enough,
is it?" eyes, ma'am." 'rhis will go
out to day?' "Ccrtainly." "Will it
go to Chicago without the name of the
county on?" "Just the same" "What
time will it reach therc?" "Tomorrow
morning" She sighs, turns the letter
over and over, and finally asks "Shall
/ dropitint one Of those places there ?"
eyes, maam." She walks up in front
of the six orifices, closely scans each
one of thcm, finally makes q choice and
drops she doesn't. She stops to
see where it will fall, pressing her face
against the window until she hattcns her
nose out of shape, and she doesn't drop
it where she intended to. She, how
ever, releases it at last, looks down to
make sure that it did not go on tho floor,
and turns away with sigh OF regret
that sho didn't take one more look ut
, the superscription.

An Old AcQuaintnnCe.

Charles Chapman, who was in his day
tho foremost criminal lawyer in Con-
necticut, once so ably defended a
man who was charged with the crime of
murder, that he got him off with man
slaughter, although there was scarcely
doubt of his guilt of tho graver offence.
A very prominent citizen who was con-
vinccd Of the mans guilt was so annoy
ed to think that Chapman had saved the
fellows neck from the halter that he re-
fused to speak to the distinguished ad-
vocate for q long time after. A number
of years, later Mr.. Chapman's door bell
rang, and q visitor was announced. "Good
morning, Mr.. Chapman" was the salu-
tation. "You have the advantage of
me-" replied the lawyer; m do not
recognize you. "My name is. Don't
you remember that you got me off for
ten years for killing 80 and SOP" eyes
I do remember it and L got through with
you then and there [ want nothing more
to do with you," "You needn't be so up
'pish about it," muttercd the fellow.
"The way you talked to that jury almost
made me believe didn't lit, and now
you've gone back on no.. ".and he walk
ed disconsolately away.

The world hath very little it can givo

what men call precious, and for which they live

For what are gems and what Is tawny gold?
And rarcst spices from sweet Cyprian blooms?
And skcn fabrics shimmering fold on fold,
The costlest products Of the Eastern looms7
They cannot save the soul single pain,
Or to the weary heart bring hope again.
What is the fash of wit, the salons glow2
The wine may shine, and leap and sparkle up,
From marble tables white as purest snow,
And brim blood-red The gold-lncrusted cup;
The dir may languish allcd with perfume sweet,
Etruscan vases burn with roses rcd,
And velvet carpets sinking meath the feet
Give back no echo from the statccst tread:
But human hearts crave something more thar

Splendor alone can never give us bliss.
Far more, far more VIC prize gentle touch
The mute caress OF fingers on the hair

Tho DcOeitful Kangaroo.

Lnmb-lil1c rs is the fnce of the kanga-
roo, tender md soft as are his eyes, he
is by 10 means rs gentle as he looks.
Like the heather Chinese, his co,mtc-
nance bellies him, and there are few more
exciting and withal dangerous sports
than kangaroo shooting. TO the hunter
seeking for some new sensation, a visit
to the wilds of Australia in search of
Knngaro0s can be recommended. 1t re-
quircs Il fleet horse to run M cold man"
down if he gets fair chance to show
tail; and strong, wcll-traincd dogs to
tackle him when brought to bay. In
side his soft, dcwy lips are strong, for
midable teeth, which can bite severely.
His forcpaws, weak rs they seem, cnn
lift dog high in the mir and crush him
to death; while, when laying down, his
fnvoritc fighting attitude, he can kick
with his powerful hind legs in manner
that rapidly clears Il circle round him,
and woe bctilc the man or dog that
comes within reach of those huge claws,
which can make flesh wound deep
enough to main the one or kill the other.
OF course, we here speak of the great
kangaroo, the boomer, or old man, of the
colonies. As a matter of fact, there are
some thirty different kinds of knngnroos
inhnbiting various'parts of Australia, and
one species peculiar to New Guinea.
They vary in size from the tiny hare
kangaroo of South Australia, the most
agile of the kind, which is but little lar
ger than rabbit, to the several giant
species, whether black, red, brown or
gray, some of which stand nearly six
ft ct high.
