Landseer's Amazing Mystery of Hand.
Among the many anecdotes Of Sir Edwin
Landseer contained in a biography is one
about the famous artists amazing mastery
hand. Alta large party in London the con-
versation turned on the dexterity and
facility In feats of skill with the hand A
lady remarked: "Well, there's one thing
nobody has ever done, and that is to draw
two things at once" "Oh, can do that"
said Landseer 'Lend me two pencils, and
will show you" The pencils were given

Sir Edwin drew, simultaneously ald with
out hesitation, with one hand, the profile of
stag's head ana all its antlers complete,
and with the other hand the perfect profile
of a horses head" Both drawings were
said to be full of life and energy, and the
drawing of the left hand not inferior to the
one made with the right - New York

A Girl and Her Scninra.

When girl is pert and bold toward her
seniors, the reason may be because she has not
been perfectly trained; but when sho is over
bearing and unkind toward servants or work
people, I am afraid it is because she has not a
good heart. Perhaps, however, it is only be-
cause she is thoughtless Com

character since Napoleon; audacious, AFRO
CANT, proud, with vein of humor permeat-
ing his conversation, and the embodiment OF
wit, courage and common sense. I should
say he was the embodiment of absolute com-
mon sense and justice, with courage that
feared no antagonism, and steaniing
and vivid with intellect and justice
and determination to carry his point
against the wholeTworld. He was person

Changes Wrought I'm Fifty Years

In domestic life the change wrought by the
last fifty years Is even more wonderful than
that brought about in public affairs and gen.
eral business. Ask a. woman what most she
counts upon feg comfort in housekeeping,
and she would hardly be able to decide be-
tween Happy Thought range and a friction
match; between sewing machine and a pa
per of soid-headed pins; between the coal
that has supplanted wood, and the kerosene
chat has supplanted the tallow candle The
life of housekceper fifty years ago was a
toilsome, and never-ending round of sewing,
spinning, knitting, alternating with cooking,
dipping candles and making SOAP Now even
the butter and the cheese are made at facto-
ries, and all fabrics are woven in the
power looms by steam. Not even a can of
peaches or tomatoes on our table! We had
not learned to eat tomatoes, and tropical
fruits were a luxury, only read about it in
the weekly newspaper Now the banana is
almost as easily procured by poor families as
are apples, and oranges are frequently glut
in the market
But this is nothing compared to our own
gardens. Fifty years ago our Strawberries
were to be gathered in tiny morsels from the
wild pastures; our raspberries grew in fence
corners, and all small fruits were really in
significant, inferior and scarce. Our potato
of to-day IS thing of culture, superb and
luscious, compared with what our fathers ate.
The Seckel, Sheldon and Bartlett pears are
marvel of the creative skill of our horticul-
ture. And what can be said to do justice to
the fact that by the simple process of canning
we can have the choicest summer vegetables
and fruits in mid winter! It is not saying too
much to say that ne dream of fairy palace.
and of magic, could, in 1886, have pictured -
fair scene as Is fulfilled in every home of

How They Get Marri ed in England.

The latest thing hi English fall weddings is
for the bridemaids to carry bunches of grapes
In place of flowers. If the wedding is in
church the bride is led to the altar by her
father or next friend, although some of the
fnidwinter brides are to be given away by
their mothers, after the fashion of her mai
esty, Queen Victoria. For the travelling dress
at this season there is nothing much prettier
than plain suit Of homespun, with jacket
to match, trimmed with fur, aEa neat vel
vet or felt bonnet. Such costume is really
more pleasing to lady of delicate and retir-
ing nature, who does not care to advertise the
happy event at every stopping place.
There is a growing preference that the
father or other escort shall not entirely re-
inquish the bride until the answer to the
question, @Who giyeth this woman to be mar
ried to this mans" is made, with the response,
@The bridegroom receives ke-. This is cer-
tainly in accord with good sense, and the act
renders more impressive the statement of Civ
ing. Wedding costumes differ but little from
last season, and there are no arbitrary rules
that govern minor matters. A leading au-
thority says: aThe fashion for having bride
maids is for the time suspended. The intimate
friend or sister isthe only female attendant,
and she is escorted by a male member of the
brides family. The best man remains with the
bridegroom until the close of the ceremony ?

Our town stands on the eastern face Of

very beautiful and perfect rainbow formed
upon mass of clouds that rested upon the
roofs OF the buildings of the city, some 500
yards to the northward 5 -F
However, we distinguish between eloud
masses and fog. The clouds come from be-
yond the Sierras-from the Pacific ocean
while the fogs are Of home production; are
vapors rising from our own soil The fog
OF which set out to speak was to the east

east of US at distance of six miles lat the
foot of our mountain) the Carson river
winds through q large valley, bordering
which is one desert twenty-five miles in
width, and another which has a breadth Of
forty-four miles and extends to the sink of
the Carson and Humboldt lake
For two or three mornings all the deserts
and valleys eastward were covered to a
depth of 200 or 800 feet by sheet OF fog as
level as the water Of lake The full light,
of the sun shining upon this gave it the ap-
pearance Of a sheet of silver, and the tops of
rocky hills rising through it appeared Of isl

hours, and the whole space Of country SO
much resembled great island-studded bay

places in various parts Of the world Of which
the view reminded them. Strangers arriv-
ing by rail asked what great lake it was
that lay to the eastward, and could hardly
be made to believe that what they saw was
not a sheet Of water, 1t extended eastward
some eighty miles, to the base of the Hum5

On these same eastward-lying deserts are
occasionally seen beautifully and puzzling
mirages; and at times in summer columns
of sand over ] 600 feet high are to be seen
slowing waltzing to and fro Half dozen
of these are often seen at once, and move
about unbroken for hours. The same
phenomenon is to be witnessed on the deserts

Eccentricities Of society women.

Eccentricities of Society Women.
Urgently heard description of the novel
tbs Of pets introduced by some eccentric So
,@ty women at their boxes at the opera. One
A:,s turtle wearing red ribbon; another
ss:ls a white mouse decorated with blue, that
raj along the edge OF the box, caressed by its
owners slender fingers. The story came to
me from behind the scenes I do not see why
woman should not advertise herself by the
means of turtles and mice as well as by walk
ing and driving out with dogs blanketed and
coated in fur, velvet or cloth, embroidered
and monogramed, with collars richly enough
jeweled for lady's bracelet Indeed, the
dogs fore paws like dudes arm, are often
decorated with q bracelet, and they wear
tufts Of violet or sprays of white hyacinths to
match the same flower that the doting mis-
taess fastens in her button-hole. - Puritan in

Wenderfnl Cleanliness OF the Japanese.
Tho Japanese woman IS wonderfully clean
and exact as to her person. She bathes every
day, end that, too, in the hottest kind <f
water. In Japan the poor people almost boil
themselves They bathe more than any othes
peopl6 on earth, and no other people can en-
dure such high temperature in the bath. a
gentleman who had lived eight years in Japan
told me he had many o time seen man sit
ting in huge bathtub while his wife made
roaring fire underneath it. The family bath
tub. over thersis built with small furnace
underneath Mand the water is made hot
enough to bolt lobster, but the Japanese,
being used to it from infancy, enjoy it as the
oh lady who drinks boiling hot coffee.
,f course then the japanese woman is
Gle IN. She is boiled every day, and her skin
Is as soft ais q swans down. While the
japanese woman is not beautiful from an
American standpoint, it is a great consolation
TO realize, when you see her, that she is so
careful with her hair and so cleanly of person.
And then she wears silk clothes This is an
other great argument In her favor. Japan
