BLACK BEAUTY SPOTS.

THE fashion OF wearing beauty spots
and patches is coming into vogue again
quite largely this season, said fashionable
Indies hsir-dresser recently. at the ball
Of the Assembly number of ladies wore
little stars and half-moons on their faces,
and ut the Charity Ball one lady wore
tiny coach-and-four in black court plaster
on her forehead. These patches may be
purchased at almost any hair-dresssrs in
the city. See, here is box of one dozen
different patterns" He opened q small
pasteboard box and displayed twelve little
pieces of black court-plaster cleverly cut
into various designs. ooach-and-four, O
bicycle, ship in full sail, Punch and Judy
and others were among the number. This
fashion was reintroduoed at the great ball
Of the French Consulate in London last
November by the Comtesse DIES Berangeres,
one Of the ladies in waiting on the exiled
Empress Eugene. 1t was considered 80
becoming that it instantly became the rage
and was quickly sont over here. The final
touch was put to the movement at the late
hair-dressers convention at Vienna, when
patches were employed by each of the COM
petiDQ hair-dressers."

nli..ered Ear, and seasickns...

The semi-circular canals of the internal
ears are nowadays pretty well understood
not to be organs of hearing but of equilib-
rum. The sensation they normally give
us is that of change of direction and speed
in the movements of our head through
space. When oyer-excited they give rise to
vertigo and nausea. A large percentage OF
deaf mutes, in whom the canals are pre-
sumably thrown out of function, are insus-
oeptible of being made dizzy. OF con-
siderable number of such deaf mutes who
had been exposed to seasickness, none, with
the exception of two doubtful cases, had
ever suffered. ALI these facts lead to the
hypothesis that seasickness may arise, in the
first instance, from the oyer-excitement Of
these sensitive organs, and, finally, they
lead to the practical suggestion that such
over-excitement might be warded off or al
layed by counter irritation" which con-
sists in blistering or otherwise reddening
the skin above and behind the ear. The
experiment is so simple, and would be, il
successful, so pregnant of relief that it
seems a shame 1t should not be tested by n
large number Of persons.

The funniest case of Observation-Disclosures
ever saw occurred at church fair some
years ago where patent ash-sifter was on
sale. The minister was very anxious to sell
it, and to show an expectant crowd how adj
mirably II worked he got hodful of hot
ashes right from the furnace and poured
them in the hopper. The thing worked
with a crank like coffee mill and the
preacher seemed to think it great fun grind
ing. Then, with his face radiant with de-
light at the prospect of selling the machine,
he triumphantly pulled out the box which
the ashes had dropped into, when, 10 there
was his new silk hat, which he had put
there for safe-kseping in the early part Of
the evening. You can imagine how that
preacher looked when he emptied ii of the
hot ashes.-Boskon Globe.

EGG ROLLING BY GIRLS AND BOYS.

There is an egg-rolling festival every
Easter Monday, in Washington the National
capital.
Until the year 1879, these festivals were
held on the grassy terrace west of the great
Capitol. There hundreds of girls and boys
would meet and roll their Easter eggs down
the hillside. A dozen or moro of the chill
dren would scratch their initials on. the egg
shells.
Then they would stand in o row at the
top of the terrace, each holding an egg on
the grass. At signal from one of the
party, every hand would be withdrawn from
the eggs. Then all would follow down the
terrace
The owner of the first unbroken egg to
reach the foot of the steep incline would be
entitled 10 all the other eggs.
Sometimes eggs and owners would roll
together, amid the shouts Of the hundreds
looking on.
But the grass on the terrace was injured
so much that the authorities we're obliged to
prohibit the children from using the place.
Since then the egg-rolling has been carried
on in the White House grounds, ON the hill
just south of the Presidents mansion.

SECRETS OF THE THERMOMETER.
Tho Irregularities of the Tube--The Ex.
pansIon and Contraction OF Glass.

Thermometers are curious instruments"
said dealer to reporter for the Mat and
Erpress Sometimes we find one that is
all right at certain points and at others it
will vary several degrees
"What causes the variation ~
The irregularities of the tube. They
are very frequently imperfect. At some
points the tube may be too large and when
tho mercury rises to that point it is too
much depressed. The tubes have to be
seasoned. This requires a year or two.
When glass is new, it changes, expands,
contracts and warps almost as badly as green
wood. Frequently persons have come in
here and said that their thermometer regis
tered 100 degrees in the shade when it has
only been at 30. All cheap thermometers
vary more or less"
Where are the best thermometers
made ?'
In London. There are two manufac-
tories in this country, one at New Lebanon,
N. Y, and the other OF Rochester. The i'm
ported thermometers are too expensive for
general use."
How are they inade?"
"The tube is blown tho size wanted, the
top being left open. The bulb is heated TO
expel the air and while hot is inserted in O
cup of mercury AS the tube cools the mer-
curry is drawn up into it, the oren end ia
then closed and the tube placed on scale.
Then it is placed in water Of a known tenn
perature and the point to which the mer-
curry rises is marked. A number of tests OF
this sort are made before the instrument is
placed on the market"
How do you tell that the thermometers
are accurate 2"
4" There is place at Harvard College tor
testing them. They are carefully examined
at different temperatures and any variation
marked. A certificate is given with every
instrument examined"
What scale do you regard as the best ?"
"The centigrade, by all means, is the
one that should be generally adopted. In
this system the freezing point Of water is
taken as zero and the boiling point at sea-
level is 100."
For the use of brewers there is Their.
mometer about three feet long, with bulb
about two feet in length. The scale Of this
is short, and is only marked for few de-
grees above freezing point. Here is an in
strument the English make that can be read
in the dark, being filed with green compost
ton containing phosphorus. Spirit Their
mometers are used in very cold climates, as
the mercury congeals They cannot be
used to measure extreme heat, as above a
certain temperature the liquid expands too
fast it boils at 100 degrees For very
high temperature the pyrometer takes the
place of the thermometer. The heat il
measured by the expansion of metals, and
the instrument will measure heat accurately
up to 1000 degrees"

WRITING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
How some LitferRteurs Worked While
Victims Of Disease.

Victims Of Disease.
Heinrich Helm, the sweetest singer Ger
many has ever produced, wrote his Roman
cero under circumstances of great suffering
says writer in Harper's Bazaar. When
pssalyzed and nearly blind he wrote o
woven web of satire and pathos, in which
he spared nothing, not even his racked and
lnguished frame.
1t has been contended that when the dis
ease of which the sufferer is dying is con-
sumption, or some disease which, between
paroxysms of pain, leaves spaces of ease
and rest, it is nothing wonderful that good
work should be done. Some of the best of
