The Turning Tower.

One OF the most curious and re-
markable structures reared by man is
the Turning Tower OF China. 1t is
said hv observers to be well worth the
V.s.t ald careful examination of every
smith and carpenter in the world. IL
is circular tower consisting OF fifteen
stories, each eighteen feet high, thus
naking the entire height of the struc-
ture two hundred and seventy feet.
The circumference of the edifice is
thirty feet The most noticeable fea-
tura of the tower is that it is sup
ported by a metal axis, upon which it
turns round with the greatest ease.
There is scarcely more difficulty in
moving it than there would be if il
were designed for a child'd toy,

There is in Schuyler county, Mo-, a
young-old man. who, without apparent
cause, living plainly on farm, has in
eighteen years passed through the
physical changes Of fOurscore. At the
age of six he had all the development
of strength and muscle usually in a
lad of fifteen. At twelve his beard
was grown and gray hairs appeared
Now, at eighteen, he is as decrepit a
any old man Of eighty, and seems
tottering on the verge of the grave.

A new way Of applying floral trim
mings on bonnets is to sew singl
blooms on in a double row outside til
brim, so as to make fiat bordering.
Ivory-white Canton crepe for
bas lue, train and lambrequin flounces
and a skirt of Terry velvet make a
exquisite combination for a Dime
dress.
One of the handsomest blaLk sill
costumes yet shown has, at the bottol
OF the short walking skirt, thrC
gathered flounces, aud each flounC
has three rows of narrow black velvt
ribbon run ON near the lower edge.
The iish-wife poke is found to be I'll
