FIREWEIG TO suNKER.
By N. AHk DAVIS,

There's mist on the mountains, hush
in the air,
The leaves on she oaks and the naples
are turning,
An invisible artist is outlining there
Aud soon with gay eOlors the wOod1l be
burning.
Tho roses arc gone, the fail lendril,
elinging
Over the garden wall now droop il
death,
The blithe woodland wsrblers southwark
are winging
Away from the sun-king's biting breath
There's a mantle Of purple eneircling the
hills,
Shadows aud lights in the valleys
a-playing.
A low gurgling song from the grass-fnngOJ
yills
Like soft, plaintive nOtes frOm wind
harps a-straying.
There's q drap'ry of mist in tho crisp morn
ing air,
And stars with tender light shining,
A whisper Of frost to tho llowercts so fai
Still over the lattice-w twining.
There's sadness OF death over nature
fair loves,
Wild winds thru the pine trees are sigh
ing,
There are low murmured prayers to tn
Father above
For fond hopes With gunner are dying

There Is an cutlery about legs. We
are told that we have too much of them
at theaters. We do, and ! say this not
because the exhibition is indecent, but
because it is ugly. What woman is
expected to hide and what to show is
purely question of convention. | re-
member once passing an afternoon
lounging about at the Sweet Waters of
Asia, on the Bosphorus. Processes and
other lights of the harem were being
dragged about in bullock-carts. Soon
some of them got ont of their convey
ances and sat down upon the grass. -
Among them was girl who felt con-
vinced was pretty, and sat down near
her. Her face was covered with thin
veil Nothing would have induced her
to raise it, but slowly she pulled her
wide trouser up above her knee and pro-
ceeded to scratch her bare leg. This
was her idea of mild Irritation with q
Frank. And why not? Her English sis
ter would go to ball with neck and
arms bare; or, to put it more correctly,
with about quarter of her body con-
cealed only by shoulder-straps, Am l
not right, therefore, in saying that the
rule as to what portion of the female
form divine may with propriety be sub
mitted to the eyes of mankind is local
and not general? Here faces, necks,
backs, shoulders, and arms may be
shown; in the east legs may be shown;
while in Zululand, according to all ac-
counts, the ladies walk about like Eve
before the fall. But even in England
the rule is different in theaters and in
bathrooms. If a girl were to appear at
the latter in dress reaching down to
her knees she would be regarded as a
peculiar girl, whereas she might do this
on the stage without adverse comment.
| make these preliminary remarks in or
der to prove that Iapproach this solemn
subject without prejudice. Ten or
twelve years ago the ballet-girls used to
wear skirts which came down little
below the knees. These skirts were
made of muslin and there were so many
of them that when their wearers were
dancing they looked like cloud. The
effect was pretty and graceful. But of
late this cloud Of skirts has disappeared
and has been replaced by piece of silk
fitting tightly to the figure like the
trunks of an acrobat, and which do
not cover any part of the leg. To emu
late this display the principal dancers
eschew everything except one muslin
petticoat, and this very short one. -
What is the result? Exceeding ugliness.
| suppose that it may be taken as a rule
that when girl has small, thin arms,
she generally has small, thin legs. Any
one, however, has only to look at the
modern ballet girl to perceive that, al
though her arms may be sticks, her legs
are elephantine in their proportions.
This girl goes to theatrical hosier; the
shape of her leg is taken, and then
pair of tights is made, with wool woven
into them as the case may require. A
girl with her legs done up in cotton
wool with a small piece of silk drawn
tightly in by band and with naked
arms and shoulders can not be said to
be making an indecent exhibition of her
self, but she is ungainly. She shocks no
morality, but she does shock good taste.
In the name, therefore, of good taste,

STORYTELLING.

II is not true that civilization or cult.
walton has bred out of the world the
liking for story. In this the most
highly educated Londoncr and the
Egyptian fcllah meet on common hui
man ground. The passion for story
has no more died out than curiosity, or
than the passion of love. The truth is
not that stories are not demanded, but
that the born rdcopteW and story-teller
Is n rare person. The faculty of telling
II story is a much rarcr gift than the
ability to anal we character, and even
the ability truly TO draw character. 1t
may be higher or a lower power, but
it is rarcr. 1t Is a natural gift, and it
seems that no amount of culture can
attain it, any more than learning can
make poet. Nor Is the complaint we'll
founded that the stories have all been
told, the possible plots all been used,
and the combination of circumstances
exhausted. IL Is no doubt that our in
dividual experience that we hear almost
every day--and we hear nothing so
eagerly--somc new story, better or
worse, but new in its exhibition of hui
man character, and In the combination
of events. And the strange, eveniful
histories Of human life will no more be
exhausted than the possible arrange
mcnts of numbers. We might NJ wei
say that there are no more good pic
lures to be painted, Ms that there are ne
more good stories to b. told. -April A.

Geological Inferiority of the Human Face.

f.
Among the specifications made by
recent writer on the geological rank of
different animals, including man, par
ticular prominence is given to the in
feriority of the latter, as exhibited in
some of his structural features compared
with certain quadrupeds. Thus, his
teeth are Of a low mammalian type, as
is shown both by his dental formula and
by the presence of cusps upon the crowns
of the teeth, a popularity of the lower
mammalia, entirely lost in the horse,
the elephant and many other "brutes, y
Again, according to the comparison thus
set forth, his limbs show similar in
feriority, since they are little modified,
preserving even the full number of five
digits, and therefore, in respect of these
members, man stands very low lower
than the cow and the pig The point of
most interest, however, in this discus
sion; is that which declares the human
face to be the most remarkable of all
the induces of mans inferiority. Thus,
1t is argued, in the mammalian embryo
the face is formed under the fore brain
or cerebral hemispheres, and in our
faces the fetal disposition is permanent
ly retained, with changes which even
when greatest, are still inconsiderable
in quadrupeds, however, the facial
region acquires prominent develop.
