LAWS of life say it does not neces-
sarily follow that a person with an
ill-developed or peculiarly shaped
chest wall should have consumption.
One great primary cause of consump-
ton is the want Of imitation Of spices of
the lungs, whether fro N habit, ,occupa-
tdOn, inattention or whatever cause.
This tact is the primary cause of more
consumption than anything else. 1t
opens the door for the onset OF the dis
ease under any exciting cause, as cold,
congestion or pneumonia.

HUMOROUS.

A FRENCH peasant saw in the river
a floating egg. He thought he could
catch it with his hand, but In his at
tempt fell in the water, and the egg
escaped him. The water was deep,
and he could not swim. In terror, he
believed that God was thus punlshing
his greediness, TIE propitiate his fate
he vowed that If he escaped he would
never eat another egg. Instantly a
branch of tree presented itself to
hum, by means Of which he gained the
banks of the stream. Shaking himself
he said: 81 suppose, o Lord, that you
of course understood me to say raw

CONCERNING HAIR CUTTNG.-She Is
mother, but she does not know how
to cut the children's hair. This Is a
pity, because it is expensive TO send
10 the barber. and Papa neglects the
lob. Besides, the children do not like
their hair haggled, and 1t Is not niCe
the SCISSORS are dull ; now, this should
not be. A woman ought, above all
earthly things, to have sharp scissors,
especially where whole family ts to
sew for. Next In Importance to hav-
ing plenty of dry kindling wood and
lively yeast, is having sharp scls sors.
Given sharp scissors, she cannot then
cut the children's hair. She makes
their heads catsteppy; for the life Of
her, she can'E help It. The trouble Ia
she does not manipulate the con- pro-
perly. Let her push this instrument
through the hair In direction oppos-
ite Co which 1t lies on the head, and
clip of th ose hairs that protrude through
the comb, Do this, little by little,
taking hold of fresh bair continually,
and soon the JOB is completed as beau
tifulIy as though the barber had done
iG. Don't cut of the child's ears.

THE MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE WHICH Is
TO eoMPAss THE DISTANCE BET wEEN
PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK IN
Il HOURS.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany expects 10 reduce the transit
time of trains running between Phila~
delphia and New York to ninety min
utes by the aid of a monster locomo
tive which is now being finished at the
Altoona shops. 1t has already made
two trips up the Allegheny Mountains
--one as far as Kittanning Point and
the other to Gallilzin. In both t. ips
the engine's performance was entirely
satisfactory, making an abundance of
steem, working smoothly and without
friction in all her parts, and running
remarkably easy around curves, when
making 30 miles an hour up tie heavy
grades. Her extreme length, from the
pllo IS point to the dead wood on the
rear end of the tank, is 62 feet; her
weight is 90, 200 pounds-2, 700 pound
heavier than the monster modOcs -
Every revolution of her drivers will
send her forward 193 feet. She is fit
ted up with all the modern and most
useful inventions in locomotive build
ing, and is regarded as the finest and
best pieces of mechanism ever turned
out of the Altoona shops. The re-
versing lever can be handled with the
little finger, SO easy does it work with
the aid of steam. There Is no pulling
and jerking, out in the tw,nkiing al
most of the eye the machine can be
reversed. The machinery governing
the sand box is also new invention,
and completely in the hands of the
engine driver; in fact, every thing is
right at his hand and easy OF manage
ment. There is no doubt that she
will do all that is required of her on
the New Jersey division.

present the opera here have been
travelling through the New England
States, and an exchange says:
The opera is written in three acts,
each one OF which il set with scenery
painted for the representation. 1t
has an intricate and amusing argu-

French parenLage. Theslibretto is
pithy aud pungent, without being
Extensively frivolous, and the inter
polation OF half dozen rather apt
quips of local application, tell pat
aud pretty, receiving due recogni-
tion. Love, of course, is the theme,
aud the passion seems to animate
about everybody. Of the music, it
can be said that it is all smooth and
volatile, most of it catching, and
here and there really striking
strain. 1t can never take rank, in
our opinion, with "Pinaiore" or the
"Pirates,' with which it has been
compared, but without that merit, ii
