Packing q Trunk.

Most people dislike to pack trunk,
and to do it well is something of an art.
It should never be done in a hurry. You
should first get everything together
which is TO be packed, and then go quiet
ly and systematically to work. Very
large trunks are an abomination over
which expressmen groan and swear, not
altogether without reason. Still, small
ones are inconvenient, except for short
journeys, and multiply expense, as the
expressage is for each piece, be it Sara
toga trunk Or q small valise, without re-
gard to size. But, whatever the size of
the trunk, it should be filled, or at least
packed full enough to prevent the con-
tents from tossing about. If you are
compelled to take trunk which is too
large for what you need to pack in it,
fill it with crumpled paper, rather than
leave it half empty. Owing to the rough
usage which baggage always receives,
unless the trunk is closely packed the
contents will be literally churned up and
down, and the clothes which you have
carefully folded will be tumbled to de-
gree, even if nothing worse comes to
them. For long journey it is we'll to
cord trunks. Rope is better than strap.
because it goes both ways. Nothing
heavy, like boots, ETC., should ever be
put in the top of a trunk, since the more
heavily it is weighted the more likely
the hinges are to break. Dresses should
be carefully folded, with the hounces
laid smooth and drawing-strings let out,
the waist folded but once, the wrong
side out, with the sleeves laid over the
back and the fronts over all. Then, if
absolutely necessary, the basque may
be folded again down the middle Seam
OF the back, but never across.

A CASE was recently tried in Paris
which seems to correspond very closely
with that for which Guiteau has been
arraigned. Lucien Morrisset, q young
man aged twenty-three, of considerable
education and refinement, was charged
with the murder Of M. Darmier, rail-
way official. Morrisset had no grievance
whatever against Dsrmeir, but he had
long cherished q deep-rooted hntre6
against society. Convinced that society
was rotten and unjust. and smarting un-
der disappointment and failure In htera-
ture, Morrisset determined to give free
vent to his perverted instincts. He be-
gan by robbing his employer, and when
he was detected he resolved to distin-
guish himself as o murderer. He had
previously attempted suicide. One day
last June he procured revolver, loaded
it, and, walking out in the street he
cody shot down NJ Darmier. The medi-
cal experts, after a careful examination,
pronounced him sane, but morally
elf-nerverted. and he was sentenced to
death. Morally self-perverted" seems
to apply we'll to Guiteau.

Viennese merchant who was travelling

travellers were compelled to seek enter

Her Gratitude.

Coming down Michigan avenue lady
in wel-hlled car saw woman dashing
across vacant lot at the corner of
Twelfth street, aud whirling her parasol
In vain endeavor to catch the eve Of
the car driver. The lady Immediately
arose and pulled the strap. The moment
this was done the woman checked down
her speed and walked slower than q boy
going home after playing truant. AS
she reached the car she deliberately
lowered her parasol, looked back down
Twelfth street, and slowly entered.
The lady, meantime, had been squeez-
ing along to make room for the new
conner. That individual looked up and
down both sides of the car with git-up-
the space provided for her with sneer,
took step toward it, then stopped as if
she would say: "Sit along further.
There isn't room enough for me - and
then Topped herself into the space,
thrusting her parasol, which she carried
in the hollow of her left arm, into her
benefactor's face, turned and slowly, de-
llberately and superciliously looked Mt

dress, and then turned from her with

tenance, and commenced taking mental
inventory of all the hats and dresses in

The IncisOrs Of the Horse.

The incisors of the horse, once worn
down or lost, are gone forever, but in
many species provision exists by which
the wear and tear of mastication is COM
pensated by the perpetual growth of
certain members of the dental series.
This very convenient arrangement ex-
lists in all the rodents, or gnawers, an
order of which the beaver, the rat and
the rabbit are familiar examples, and
also In the elephant, the walrus, wild
boar, etc. The incisors of the rodents
are the seat of this perpetual growth,
and any one who will take the trouble to
examine the skull of rabbit will at
once see how admirably they are adapt
ed to the animal wants. They are Of
curved shape, and occupy sockets ex-
tending to the back part of both Jaws,
the upper pair describing larger part
OF smaller circle, and the lower ones q
smaller part Of larger circle. Each
tooth consists of o solid column of dem
tine, with plate of enamel in It's outer
surface, and, consequently, diminshes
in hardness from front to back. The
constant wear produced by the continual
collision of the opposing surfaces forms
an obEque chisel-like surface, sloping
from the hard enamel of the front to the
softer dentine of the back part of the
tooth. AS these teeth are perpetually
growing, they require constant exer-
else to keep their growth within due
bounds, and the rat and others of this
most mischievous family might assign,
as an excuse for their ravages, the ne
cessity OF finding constant employment
for their front teeth.-AU the Year

Lessons in Words.

An explanation of the derivation Of
words will give pupil an insight into
their history, and he will comprehend
their use and power.
"Sierra means "saw;" hence the
use of the terms Sierra Nevada, Sierra
Morena, for the mountains look like
great saws turned up to the heavens.
Frank comes from nation that
possessed Gaul. They were distin-
guishcd from the Gauls by their love Of
freedom, their scorn of a lie. So
marked was this national trait that it
was applied to denote moral distinc-
tions.
"SIave" was once q noble word,
meaning glory" 1t was significant
of freedom. But the slaves (or
Schlaves, as once spelled) became cap
tives to the Teutonic race, and so
"Slave was synonymous with one
who was subject to another.
"Turkey" is applied to a fowl that
originated in this country, but it was
supposed by the common people to have
come from Turkey.
DAISY" Chaucer tells us, means
" days eye"-eye of day. The sun
had this title first, but those who
saw the daisy saw a likeness to the sun
the white fowerets resembling the
rays-hence the name.
"Knave" meant originally onlv
clad" and it now means that in Ger
many, but 80 many lads were bad that
1t got to have bad significance.
"Villain meant man who worked
on villa or farm but 80 many of them
had rough, hard natures that it took

word to show harmlessness. The
