Cut Near The Surface.

A pleasant story comes from Dallas
county, ArkansaW. Some time ago,
lust after drouth, butter became so
scarce that the people were compelled
to forego this almost necessary article
of diet. Old man Reglin and his wife,
Charity, had ever been proud OF their
table, and the scarcity of butter caused
them great annoyance. The old lady,
however, had saved up one ''churnin' "
which she took great pleasure in work.
ing over, stamping with fanciful
print, and placing on the table. The
children were taught not to touch it,
any more than they would have done
a vase of flowers placed on the table
for ornament. One morning, two
neighbors, Webley and Alison, came
over to help Reglin perform a piece of
work Mrs. Reglin prepared for them
an excellent breakfast, and when the
guests sat down at the table, there was
the plate of butter, bearing an angel
surrounded by a garland OF roses.
Webley understood the situation, and
would not touch the ornament, but At
son was particularly fond of butter,
and especially during the drouth, had
made quite a reputation as butter
eater. Just after blessing had been
asked, Alison took biscuit, tore it
open, reached over and with q ''slash'
cut off the angels head. The children
looked at each other in establishment,
and Mrs. Reglin cleared her throat.
Pretty soon Alison swept off the angels
right wing and spread it's pinions on
his biscuit. By this time the children
thought that the time for eating butter
had come, and reaching out their
knives, begin to dip in lightly. Reglin,
observing the outbreak, said:
ssChildren, cut near the surface"
The children desisted, but when At
son swept away the other wing, to-
gether with a rose, they reached out
again.
0.sChildren,'' says Reglin '.your
mother wants some of that butter for
Christmas.
When Alison left the table, Webley
remained near the door to hear any
remarks that might be made. There
was silence for some time. Finally
Reglin said:
"Charity, did you observe how tn that
man Alison dove into your butter?'

They all wore garments of kangaroo
skin, those of the men falling behind
and leaving them in front naked, except
for the loin cloth. The women were
thickly raped from below the shoulder
to the knee. Neither sex had stout
Ices, but the feet of the women were
singularly delicate and shapely. The
group presented pathetic appearance,
and it was painful to observe the
loathing with which the Australian
whites generally regarded them. -Aus-

The First Idea of the Telephone.

In fairy tale written by the Broth
ers Mayhem, published in London in
1S47, and called THE Good Genius
that Turned Everything into Gold, y
occurs this passage:
'Lct their voices be heard

metallic threads, which ran through

be pleased to convey any message you
please to him, and as I knew your bus
mess was immediate and important,
thought the best plan would be to send
it by lightning for you, so that you
might receive an answer by the next
flash. What shall l say to him for
you?'
"'Ask him if he needs the fairy

CARPETS AND RUGS.

The Glenham carpets produce this
season new and more striking effects in
Indian designs, and the coloring not
infrequently of Turkish and Daghestan
rugs. Japanese and Chinese patterns,
however, enter into some of the hand
soonest designs; one of these has a
cool, light olive ground that represents
the working of bamboo, straw mating,
and other straw work in detached, ir-
regular segments, and over all are
scattered dull red blue fiower-like
figures. An olive Brussels has designs
Of the bold pink and white flowers, and
the foliage or the Japanese ounce
tree; another Brussels with an Indian
red ground is covered with foliage OF
blush grays and browns subtly shaded
and large tropical flowers. Over a
very dark ground mingled with antique
shades are all manner OF odd figures In
apparent confusion; arabesques, cres-
cents, cobwebs, discs, and here and
there flower. A rich velvet ground
of dark ivory induces clusters OF flow
ers and branches carelessly interlaced
with greenish Spanish moss gracefully
but irregularly disposed; the border is
half a yard wide, with similar effects,
and the narrow outer border has flow
ers of scarlet in set designs on black
ground. Another of velvet having
BLACK ground threaded with gold is
covered with honeysuckle pattern;
large roses and great blue-gray rhodo-
dendrons with huge leaves are irregu-
larry placed. A yellowish ground has
Is c,tn nf
tropical plants like twining serpents,,
feathery birds dropping in curves, and
large lilies with spiked fronds.
Another design of the Greek order is
the acanthus leaf on dusky blue
ground and a chain-armor pattern;
this is for hall or library. The effect
Of the foreign Administer is produced in
some of these carpets in the wool
back;'' that is, the colors showing
through to the back. These are the
latest Glenham manufactures. The de-
signs are Indian-pink and shaded olive
buds, and large roses shaded in deep

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

An attempt is being made to intro
duce the turtle into the seas Of Prov
ence, Algeria and Corsica, places be-
ing arranged where the eggs may be
deposited in safety.
Pasteur has affirmed that the
smallest quantity Of the virus OF
rabies which produces effect upon any
animal. has the longest period of in
cubation and gives the most furious
type of the disease.
According to Grant Allen, almost
all very early OF primeval types of
animals of plants yet existing belong
to one OF other of three peculiar
habitats-island, fresh water streams
OF lakes, and caves.
A French writer regards the IA
miliar yet mysterious phenomenon
known as the zodiacal light as simply
a reflection of light from the illumi.
mated part OF the earth upon an upper
stratum of the atmosphere,
1t is now known to medical science
that diseases Of the eyes and ears are
frequently induced by decaying teeth.
A serious case of this kind, in which
partial loss of sight from cataract
was traced to diseased condition OF
the teeth, has jast been reported to
the Harveian Society, of London.
A French anatomist, Mons. Luys,
has found that when person lies
down OF stands upon his head the
brain changes it's position in the skull
in obedience to the law Of grayit ation.
The movements take place slowly,
five or six minutes being required for
the brain to adjust itself to new at
titude of the body.
Dr.. A, Ernst, of Caracas, Venezuela,
cites two severe earthquakes of that
vicinity as instances Of the remark
able influence of the soil on the de-
struction Of buildings by such shocks.
In each case the houses built Oh rocks
were ruined, while those standing on
q thick stratum of loose material
were scarcely injured.
Remarkable differences of climate
within short distances were expert
enced last winter in Norway. For in
stance, while at Christiania the ice
was from ten to twelve inches thick
in January, vegetation continued to
grow at Stayanger, where the ther-
mometer fell to freezing point only
once during the entire month.
The discovery of fossil remains of
a remarkable insect In the earbonifer-
Gus deposits of Commentry, France,
has been announced to the Paris
Academy Of Sciences by Mons. Chas.
Brongniart. The crerture must have
been at least twenty inches long, with
an expanse of wings of nearly twenty
eight inches. To science this insect
of a long-past age will be known as
Dictyoneura monyi.

BABY CLOTHES.

1t is too bad that babies do not APP
preciate the efforts made in their be-
half by prominent merchants in this
city. Last week the front center win
dows of large store were opened into
each other and converted by decora-
tons into complete Lilliputian bazaar,
containing choice specimens OF infants
garments of every kind and descrip-
ton included in the perfect outfit,
from silk-net stockings, dainty en-
broidered shoes, knitted shirts, ex-
auisitely embroidered flannel petit
coats, cambria skirts, tucked, rutled,
lace and Hamburg edged, with long
and short dresses, beautiful enough
to make rich mothers buy, and, alas,
to cause poorer mothers to be enVlous
because they cannot buy.
Many novel ideas are illustrated in
the construction of infants robes; the
embroidery pieces are let in the skirts
in odd designs, the figures being out
lined by lace, inserting, OF trimming OF
lace cdging, and again tucks adorn the
skirts, which are finished with rutf1e
of exquisitely fine and artistic en-
broidery. One ruffle was needlework a
quarter of yard deep in new and
beautiful conceit of morning glory
flowers, with vine, leaves, and buds.
Another shows vine of autumn leaves,
and still another has clusters of flow
ers, with fruit, while choice specimens
are in perfect representation of the
Irish point-lace conceits. Most OF the
dresses have Jokes of embroidery in
various shapes, and the sleeves are
long, with finish of inserting and mar
row embroidery.
Baby cloaks of all kinds and sizes are
represented, from those for infants in
robes to short cloaks for little ones q
wear or two old. One of the novelties
is the cloak formed of straight widths
of any desired material, the shape be-
ing attained by shirring at the neck
this portion being hidden beneath the
square or straight cape, which is also
shirred in the neck, and falls over the
garment to below the sleeves. One of
cream cashmere is richly embroided on
cloak and cape, and edged with tassels
of silk and braid fringe. Very charm
ing is cloak in the same form, OF pale
blue silk, richly embroidered and tied
at the throat with ribbon in the same
lovely shade of blue,-Phaladelphia
