regularly fed, regularly watercd and
protected from the storms. In our
Northern climate Il Is estimated that
sheep, when fed exclusively on hay,
viii consume about n pound Of good
hay, or its equivalent, per day. for CIV.
cry thirty pounds Of their live weight.

Of course, an important consideration.

ese Minister, Is the most daintily pretty
creature that any picture on a paper fan

the most perfect toilets. French taste
and fingers dress her after the most ap-
proved manner, and from her own

oval of her face, with Its clear cream

Swallowed to His Death.

Years ago the son of Scotch laird
became, when youth, as fond of being
among the gypsies as Harry Bertram, of
Ellangowan. He lived weeks among
them, aud, for freak, was at length
regularly initiated in certain of their
rights and mysteries. When he wished
to go home, he was, to his CONSERVATION,
warned that, after what had passed,
death would be the penalty for SO doing.
He did, with great difficulty, ultimately
contrive to get away, but found himself
"shadowed" necessarily, and his life
made burden. At length the watch
seemed removed, and his spirits revived,
but one evening several years later he
was summoned from a country ball by a
messenger, who said that gentleman
wished to see him on important business,
and he was found few hours later in an
alley near by, stabbed to the heart. Re-
calling this episode theNew York Times
asks: "Would any insurance office out
side of Pennsylvania, accept any rates
the life of man who gives away the
Phoenix Park assassins?"

Electricity at a Launch.

In launching the gigantic English
trrret-ship, appropriately named Colos-
sus, on March 81, electricity was en-
ployed by means of an ingenious con-
trivance which connected the dog-shores
with a large magnet; and in similar
manner the christening was performed.
simultaneously with the breaking of
the bottle over the ships nose a
musical instrument inside an ornamental
box was set at work and "Rule Brit
tania" was the result. By this time
the coast was reported clear, and as the
ship gave evidence of anxiety to leave
the cradle, it was deemed advisable,
though ten minutes before time, to let
her go. The pressure of the launching
button was followed by heavy thud.
The weight hadfallen and the dog-shores
had been knocked away. The ship
moved instantly, and the huge mass of
4,42O tons-the heaviest ever launched
from the Portsmouth yard-glided
gracefully down the incline plane into
the harbor amidst the music of the
bands and the enth nsiastic cheers of the
multitude.

FADED BLUEBELLS.
by MARY A. BARR.

Oh, how easily opens the book
ON these faded flowers, so thin and brown
Woes me for the bonnie little hand
That clasped my hand, as out of the town
And into the fields we went that day,
That last sweet day in the fowery May.
Hanpy we're we in the unknown grass,
Pulling the bluebells here and there;
Never before had he seemed so gay
Oh, never before so zweet and fair
And the hours flew by, till, like spell,
A sudden shadow of sorrow fell.
One minute all seemed SO bright and glad;
The next, L knew it was cold and chill.
The child had felt it as well as /,
And grown as suddenly sad and still.
What is it 2" said, in strange alarm,
And lifted the boy in my strong right arm.
In my strong right arm, close to my breast,
I carried him home-oh, sad, sad way J.
The pale mists rising above the fields,
The sun going down in sOmbre gray.
ssTake care of my flowers he family said,
And then on nv shoulder laid his head.
Twenty years he has been in heaven;
But he's my boy yet-he's my boy yet.
have kept his tasseled car and shoes,
And the pretty stockings his mother knit;
His little checked frock, his chair, his ball.
His broken toyB-I have kept them all.
But oh, these bluebells are dearer far!
Withered and frail and sad they look:
But for twenty years they've lain beside
The sweetest promise in all the book.
See, when L go to ntU last long rest,
That you lay these bluebells on my breast.

miles remaining TO be accomplished.
This fact encouraged our feeble engine
to reckless degree, considering the ma
ture of that section of the line. At sew
eral bends around which the train sharp
ly ierked, the step projecting along the
side of the car fairly overhung the
frightful brink. 1t may be a triumph
of engineering" to build railroad SO
close to the verge of death; but, in the
present instance, as an approach to a
sanitarium, it has the aspect of dismal
jest. We were now within range of the
snowy "Roof of the World facing au-
gust Kinchinjunga, next to the loftiest
peak although as yet the vail of clouds
denied us the coveted view.
"There's Darjeeling!" exclaimed the
tea-planter at my side. Ahead lay a
picturesque town of white houses, cling
ing to the slope of a group of hills.
What a swarm of uncouth humanity
surrounded the few passengers upon
alightingl Odd figures strove with each
other, amid war of words, for the priv
ilege of carrying the baggage. Present
~ we were climbing the bridge to the
Woodlands, cozy hotel, preceded by
two laughing damsels bearing our heavy
portmanteaus. It was the third time in
India that young ladies had paid us
such an attention. Mr.. Watson has
carefully noted this important item in
his diary. The short winters afternoon
was fast waning when we sat down be-
fore cracking fire in our comfortable
room, nearly thirty-fve miles into the
labyrinth of the Himalayas.

Six Weeks Sport with a Fortune.
[Frorn the Newburyport QIass.) Herald.

A Young man living in this city had

vlous to that time he had never had more
than enough to live on, and he now re-
solved to have grand time and specu-
late In small way as he went along.
He commenced by purchasing an old
horse for 5000, which, few weeks after,
ne WIS glad to sell for 5000. He then
had an elegant wardrobe made, purchased
fue turnout, and commenced course
OF living that would have made Beacon
Street blood step back in the shade.
But his could not last forever on ST. 800,
aud, il a month, all that was left were
the clothes, the horse and an old saddle,
which, together with few dollars, he
had managed to get in exchange for the
buggy. While riding down Water Street,
on Lis horse the other night, he was
asked if he missed his money. "Oh

WEIGHING THE BRAIN.
Lately M. Paul Topinard has reviewed
the researches OF Broca regarding the
weight of the brain in the human species.
The figures obtained by Broca and the
author appear to indicate that excessive
weight is no prima facie evidence of
great intellectually. Even the ponder
GUS brain of Culver, which weighed
1920 grammes, is considered to be due
In no small degree to the weIl-attested
presence of hydrocephalus during the
infancy of the great naturalist. The
mean weight of the brain of men is 1926
grammes and of women 1, 1852 grammes,
the greatest weight among the former
being attained generally between the
ages of 80 and 35 and among the latter at
a somewhat earlier period. After the age
OF 55 the diminution is very rapid and
the loss at the age of 80 reaches from 100
to $50 grammes. These figures must,
however, be accepted with great caution.
Most of the observations were made on
the heads of persons who had died in
hospitals and who were presumably more
or less affected with brain disease. There
are no existing tables determining the
difference of the weight Of the brain
among mentally sound persons belong
ing to the two distinct classes of those
engaged in intellectual pursuits and
those who obtain living by manual
labor.
