Hair-Dressing.

High coiffures are again in vogue,
though the low coil on the nape of the
neck is by no means abandoned. For
those who wear the high Elizabethan
ruffs, and others to whom it is becom-
ing, the hair is now arranged in two
small coils high on the crown that seem
to emerge from the French twist below.
The front middle hair is drawn back
from the forehead to these coils, while
on the temples are irregularly curved
locks of short hair. One or two shell
pins shaped like large hair-pins may be
thrust through the high coils for gen
eral wear; on dress occasions an al
grette or two short ostrich tips may be
worn high on the left side, or there may
be pins set with jewels or with Rhine
stones. Young ladies who have the
low broad Greek forehead adopt the Sc
we're style of drawing the hair straight
back, and brushing smoothly to the coil
behind, showing the contour Of the
head, and omitting all shading of locks
above the brow. If the face is long
oval, the high forehead needs to be
partly covered, and the hair is drawn
back more loosely, and allowed to droop
slightly in front. The bang is worn
shorter than it formerly was, and may
be very thick and straight, or else
slightly waived. Very. full and fluffy
bangs are also worn in an exaggerated
fashion that is unbecomming and most
untidy-looking. The invisible net that
formerly f1attened the hair above the
forehead is now little used, bandoline is
abandoned, the curls are loose and un-
confined, and the hair has its natural
gloss heightened by much brushing in
stead of by use of pomades. Very lit
tie false hair is worn. Short switches
are arranged in coils, o. perhaps in a
bow, but are seldom braided or formed
in puffs. Occasionally short curls are
added Just back of the ears, or low on
the nape of the neck. Older ladies part
the front hair in the middle, and draw
it back in long loose waves instead of in
close csimps; their back hair is ar
rangednh coil, which is rather small,
and may be either high or low. The
Pompadour front is fashionable for
gray hair, but must not be rolled very
high; this is especially becoming when
the hair is light gray, and the forehead
is low and broad. .-Harpers Bazaar.

''But I can sing now, Grandma" she
exclaimed, and broke into little trill

Eyes, DEAR" said Grandma, with a
smile, "you can sing even more hap
PLY than ever, for you have learned
to-day what terrible thingit is to car

you are doing wrong, and also the
peace that comes from resisting temp
tation and obeying the voice Of con-

And when, next morning, Peggy
went out into the orchard to pick up
some more apples, she sang as blithely
as ever, and had not sad thought in
her mind.-St. Nicholas.

A Bear Which Snored.

John H. Kelly, of Brighton, gives the
following story OF a recent adventure:
81 have farm of open and wood land
in the township of Uitton. Canada, and
90 there occasionally to look after my
interests. During the early part of last
week was there and went out alone on
snow-shoes prospecting, with the inten-
ton of buying some lumber. heard
something rustling through the bushes
and saw a man with dog following
large deer. Seeing that the three were
pretty well used up Il joined in the chase.
until both man, dog and myself got
tired and gave up in disgust. My new
ly-formed acquaintance was French
Canadian, wood-chopper, and, like
myself, had nothing but an ak.
..The snow was deep, so we hunted
around for resting place and soon dis
about four feet through. At about the
middle of the log we observed a dry
spot. and on going there saw there was
large knot hole. We sat down, but
had been there but few minutes when
we heard snoring, which alarmed us.
We then went to the large end of the
log and saw bear-tracks, and I con-
cluded that there was bear inside.
Said 1: My friend, just go to the knot
hole and pound with your ak, and | will
wait here till he comes out, when will
slug him in the head This the Cana
dian did, and the bear came out. I
made clip at him with the ak, and
missed him. He got on his feet and
sprang at me, knocking me down-see
the marks of his claws on my legs and
feet. My Canadian friend at this mo-
ment came to my rescue and split the
brute's skull in two. We then lit some
wood and smoked out these two cubs
(pointing to a couple of infantile cubs).
I kept them and gave my friend the
mother, whose skin was of more value
to him than the cubs
These young ones Mr.. Kelly is raising,
or trying to raise, as a mother would a
child, the nursery bottle being used for
their sustenance. Boston Globe.

The Northern Boundary.

The whole of this boundary, from
Michigan to Alaska, has been distinct
" marked by the British and American
Commissioners; and some interesting
details have been published Of the way
in which this difficult task was accom-
plished. The boundary is marked by
stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars,
earth mounds and timber posts. These
structures vary from five feet in height
to fifteen feet, and there are 395 of them
between the Lake of the Woods and the
base of the Rocky Mountains. That
portion of the boundary which lies east
and west of the Red River Valley is
marked by cast-iron pillars at even mile
intervals. The British place one every
two miles, and the United States one
between each British post. The pillars
are hollow ironcastings, and upon the
opposite faces sspe cast, in letters two
inches high, the inscription, "Conven-
ton of London and October 20,
1873
The average weight of each pillar
when completed is eighty-five pounds.
With regard to the wooden posts, the
Indians frequently cut them down for
fuel, and nothing but iron will last very
long. Where the line crosses lakes,
mountains of stone have been built. the
bases being in some places eighteen feet
under water, and the tops projecting
some eight feet above the surface of the
lake at high-water mark. In forests,
the line is marked by telling the timber
rod wide and clearing away the un-
derbrush. As might well be imagined,
the work of cutting through the 1T tim !.
bered swamps was very great, but it
has all been carefully and thoroughly
done. The pillars are all set four feet
in the ground in ordinary cases, with
their inscription faces to the north and
south, and the earth is well settled and
stamped about them. The iron posts
afford little temptation for dislodgment
and conveying away by the Indians

THE ROMANCE OF THE CARPET.

Basking in peace in the warm spring sun,
South Hill smiled upon Burlington.
The breath of May. and the day was fair,
And the bright notes danced in the balmy
air.
And the sunlight cleaned where the restless
breeze
Kissed the fragrant blooms on the apple
trees.
His beardless cheek with a smile was spanned
AS ne stood with carriage-Whip in hand;
And he laughed as he dofed his bob-tailed
coat.
And the echoing folds Of the carpet smote;
And she smiled as she leaned on her busy mop,
And she said she would tell him when to stop.
so he pounded away till the dinner-ben
Gave him little breathing SPELL
But he sighed when the kitchen clock struck
one,
And she said the carpet wasn't done.
But he lovingly put in his biggest licks,
And pounded like mad till the clock struck
six.
And she said, in dubious kind of way,
That she guessed he could finish it up next
day.
Then all that day, and the next day, too,
AAS AuzA AAOhA ChC dil OlGSo SoA pCo ACNs
And she'd give it look at eventide,
And say: Now beat on the other side .
E And the new days came as the old days went,
And the landlord came for his regular rent;
And the neighbors laughed at the tireless
And his face was shadowed with clouds Of
gloom;
Till at last, one cherries winter day,
he kicked at the carpet and slid away
Over the fence and down the street,
Speeding away with footsteps feet,
And never again the morning sun
Smiled at him beating his carpet drum.
And South Hill often said, with yawn:
where has the carpet martyr gone?"
Years twice twenty had come and passed,
And the carpet swayed in the autumn blast.
For never yet since that bright spring time
Had it ever been taken down from the line.
5'sOver the fence a gray-haired man
Cautiously clim, CLONE, elem, clum, clamb.
He found him stick in the old wood-pile,
And he gathered it up with sad, grim smile.
"A flush passed over his face forlorn
As he gazed at the carpet tattered and torn. .
Till the startled air gave his echoes back.
And out of the window a white face leaned,
And palsied hand the pale face screened.
She knew his face, she gasped and sighed:
"A little more on the under SIDE"
Right down on the ground his stick he
thrOwed,
And he shivered and said: 'Well am
blowedv
And he turned away with heart full sore,
And he never was seen not none no more.

PEGGY'S TRIAL.

Peggy was out in the orchard picking
7up apples. They were summer apples
yellow, crisp and so ripe that they
would crack open just as easy! And
some of them had grown SO fast and so
freshly after the late showers, that they
were full of water at the core! Fine,
juicy apples and a clear, bright morn
ing are enough to make any little girl
happy. No wonder Peggy sang. And
Peggy could sing very well, indeed.
She had never been taught, but that
didn't seem to make any difference.
She began to sing even before she could
talk-a sort of pleasant little humming,
that would make her grandma say,
sShe will make cheerful woman!''
But Peggy was getting to be quite a
young lady; and in the morning when
our story opens, she was singing gayly
pretty little song she had learned at
school. The happier she became the
louder she sang; and her voice rang
out through the sunny orchard until the
shadows of the leaves on the grass
actually seemed to dance about with
pleasure, and chase each other, first this
way and then that, sometimes hitting a
golden apple, sometimes darkening the
rose in a clover-head, sometimes max
ing a little mask on Peggy's upturned
face, almost as if they would like to kiss
her white forehead. suppose it was
the breeze sweeping softly among the
branches that made the shadows dance
so, but it seemed as if they danced to
Peggy's singing. She had nearly filed
her basket, and was about to pick up
the last tempting looking globe, when
she saw something sparkle very brill
iantly in the grass STOPPING quickly,
but not ceasing in her song, She picked
up the shining thing, and looking at it
in amazement, became dumb with sur
prise. It was lovely diamond ring!
Peggy counted the sparkling stones.
One, two, three, eight glowing, bewitch-
ing bits Of color and shine, rejecting
the trees and the sky, the apples
and the clover. She could see every
shade Of the rainbow in the precious
Jewel, and she was almost wild with de-
light. She slipped it on her finger,
looking at it first in this way, and then
in that. She could hardly take her eyes
from it. = Well,'' said she, !. I am so
glad!'' Just then, g Peggy! Peggy!''
came pleasantly from the house. 81
must go,'' said she to herself. :. Grand
ma is calling. What will she say to
this? Why, she viii say it is not mine,
and that / must not keep it; know
she will! But it IS mine. found it in
our orchard, and [ know it is mine. !
will keep it. I never had so lovely a
thing before, and I mean to keep it. !"
Peggy said this to herself out loud, and
shook her head hard. Then she put
the ring in her little pocket, and, pick
ino up the basket, started for the house.
:. viii not tell her yet, = she said to
:a,erself. 81 will think it over. "

His Estimate.

"Have you estimated the rainfall Of
the last twenty -four hours?'' asked one
citizen of anfther, as they met in front
of the City Hall yesterday.
