CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS.

The Chinese should be a very polite
people. They have 563 books on be-
hayior.
The garrote was an ancient method of
execution in Spain. 1t was a collar that
caused strangulation till life was extinct.
The word ''pulpit," like '~ferryboat"
and >'outlandish women" occurs once II
the Bible. 1t was Ezra who was in the
pulpit.
\ wonderful Chinese boy is mentioned
IN the report of a missionary at Pekir.
vt Il recent examination he repeated the
entire New Testament without missing a
single word or making one mistake.
Shrove Tuesday, which is the day pre-
ecdins the beginning of Lent, was fer
merry devoted to feasting and merriment,
but whence originated the custom of eat
ing pancakes or that day is still a mat
ter OF uncertainty. Shrove-tide was in
times gone by a season of such mirth that
'~shroving," or ''to shrove," signifed &c
be merry.
The people of the Congo have no con-
ception of a God of any kind, and wor-
ship nothing. They believe in charms to
keep off all evils. They do not believe
in sickness or death as natural, and seek
cut the cause when any one dies or is
taken i'll. Many persons are thus killed
the ropulace would increase very rapidly.
The largest circus in Paris accommo-
dates only 1000 people, while one in an
cicnt Rome could hold over 80, 900,
where from 100 to 400 lions were let loose
at a time. Augustus filled the arena once
with $500 wild animals, and one Probus
got up q free fight between 1000 wild
boars, 1000 stays, 1000 rams and 1000 os-
trlChcS, and the occupants Of the upper
nallcrics-thc gods-had the right to
shoot arrows and javelins- into the melee.
The Doric shaft, with its characteristic
| diminution and channcllings, was known
in Egypt more than q thousand years be-
fore its introduction into Greece, as is
proved by the monuments of Beni-Hassan.
Commercial relations had existed be-
tween the two countries for centuries, and
it cannot be assumed that the Greeks
had not seen Egyptian works Of archi-
lecture; they could not hayc arrived at
precisely the same results by independent
invention.

''Whcrc'S Ike now"
Looks Like the EgyDtian Sphinx.

y correspondent writes to the star of
Washington that in North Carolina there
Is It mountain formation very closely re-
s"n:hfn" the Sphinx, 1t is called the
pilot Knob and is in surry county, in
tn" northwestern Iart of the state, just

reared alott, as If in the act Of rising.
The head Is Of solid rock, several hun
Grol feet in height. The shoulders and
breast are finely proportional, and at the
distance ri a few mics it looks like a

sian Women.

Diplomacy, intrigue and influence i'll
Persia are dependent in a large measure
on the force Of character displayed by
the women. If 4 man wishes to influ-
cncc another in an affair of importance,
he manages it by contiding the matter to
one or ali Of his wives, who in turn visit
the wives Of one who has Influence over
him, and 10y urging and presents seek to
attain the Object. Most Of the important
transactions Of Persia are conducted in
this manner.

tivcs, half the Senate and nearly all the
Supreme Court patronizc the street cars.
Senator Edmunds loves a seat at the from,
Of the car, where he may turn his back
on everybody and look out OF the win

blanket with HIM, which he spreads over

and France. England and Belgium are
but poor markets for hair, not because of
its scarcity, for both English and Belgian
women have the finest heads Of hair IN
the world, but because they will not sell
1t. When collected it is put through a
cleaning process severe enough to fetch
the dirt out of an elephants hide and
then dyed several times over. The best
hair-dressers never buy hair from the
head or from private hands"
"What is the rarest kind Of hair"
"Perfectly white hair it will command
almost any price. Natural curling hair
is also Of considerable value. \ good
wig Of white hair costs $40. The mate
rial Of which these wigs are made are
clipped from the festive goat, and seldom
from the human head. \ peculiarly soft,
silky kind Of snow-white hair originates
on the Angora rabbit. A perfectly white
and abundant wig of white human hair
would cost at least $1,000, which price
few ladies would be willing to pay.
Dead hait-that is, hair cut from the
head after death-is never used by any
tonsorial artist worthy Of the name. In
deed, it cannot be used to any advan-
tage, as it will neither curl, twist, nor
manipulate. Hair cut from aliving head
is not dead, a fact WHICH can be easily
proved by taking a hair and stretching it
out to its utmost capacity. 1t will then
contract quietly back to its former posi-

In the strong grip Of mistress or maid.
For whether to whisk, sweep, or freshen,

Wheresoever they rally or Turk.
In drawing room, boudoir and chamber,
I'm at home as in kitchsn or hall
Upon doorsill, piazza, and stairway
Swish. swishT sounds my challenging
I'm the tyrant Sloth's Nemesis; swiftly
The chains Of neglect | unloosn.
Room, room for the broom, inactivity's doom,
Sworn foe to defect and disuse.

While my sister, the plumei feather duster,
Head erect, follow, fast III my wake.
Not n corner 50 dark but | search it,
Not n Granny too deep TO explore;
After which,, shoulder arms, till the next
days alarms
Call me forth, Thoroughbred as before.
Ny queen, lovely woman, impels me,
I'm her slave or defender at need,
As many a Zoe viii bear witness
Whom a broom,tink hath put to his spool.
