In conversation with a New York
Mail and Express reporter, an authority
ut Fulton market said: ''Thc superior
flavor of WEIGH or Highland mutton is
beyond all doubt due to the aromatic
plants which abound on the pasturagc of
these hills, and on which the sheep feed.
The hills in Wales arc thickly covered
with wild thyme, while those in the
Highlands are full of lady's mantle and
other aromatic herbs which are seldom,
if ever, found in other pastures. This
is hint of natures WI giving, which
the farmer who goes in for sheep raising
or dairying cannot afford to dispise in
these times of hard competition. The
aromatic herbs may be no less nutritious
than clover or rye grass, but they are
just as necdful to the formation of a per-
feet pasturage rs the other varieties of
plants. For this reason they should be
grown in all pasturages. They are easy
of cultivation, and will grow in the
worst ground, but some arc of course
hotter suited to certain kinds of soil
than Others. Parsley, lovagc, cumin,
coriander, c%arrayway, angelica md wild
fcnnel delight in loamy soils, wild thyme,
rock rose, hysop, sage, savory and horc-
hound in dry, poor soils, and pepper
mint in moist soil. All these plants are
oLtainablc, and all of them are easily
propagated from Seeds"

White ELEPHANTS.

Oriental poets and historians have
compared the fairness of the white ele-
plant to the brilliant purity of the snow;
but this is a license and an exaggeration.
Some experts in natural history accept
the white elephant US merely an albino,
the color Of which is described as a pink
white, to be aptly compared to the nose
of white horse, while others are in
clined to regard the animal alternately
rs a leper. Sir Emerson Tenncnt Incl
dentally defines the white elephant as
n which exhibits tho.e f~esh-colored
blotches which occasionally mottle the
skin of this huge pachydcrm chiefly
about the head and extremetics. The
front Of the trunk, the tips of the ears,
the forehead, and occasionally the legs,
are thus diversified with stains of q
yellowish tint, inclining to pink. ''Thesc"
says Sir Emerson, ''are not natural, nor
are they hereditary, for they are seldom
exhibited by the younger individuals in
a herd, but appear to be the result of
cruptivc affection, the irritation of which
has induced the animal in it's un%easincss
to rub itself against the rough bark of
the trees, and thus abrade the cuticle.
This is confirmed by the fact that the
scar of the ankle wound, occasioned by
rope on the legs of those which have
been captured by noosing, presents pre-
ciscly the same tint when thoroughly
healed" Even in an example of the ut
most perfection of its quality Sir Emer-
son Tennent "apprehcnds that the tint of
a white elephant is little else than a flesh
color, rendered somewhat more censpic-
uous by the blanching of the skin and
the lightness of the colorless hairs with
which it is sparsely covered.-London
Society.

Canary Birds,
Society.

Several years ago, when living with
my sister in Boston, one of my daily
pleasures was to whistle and talk to her
canary birds; the birds and l were on
terms Of the most intimate relationship.
We whistled in the friendliest, if not the
most entertaining, way.
After an absence of two years or more
from Boston and my pets, I returned for
a short visit, arriving at her home after
''gas light" in the evening, when the
little fellows were asleep on their perchcs.
I never for a moment thought of going
to wake them up at that time in the
evening, just to see if they remembered
their old friend, but 1 had not said more
than a half a dozen words, in an ordi-
nary conversational tone of voice, when
'Dicky" pulled his head out from under
his wing and began to- chirp in a right
lively manner, and, before 1 could re-
cover from my feeling of gratitude and
delight, the little fellow was singing
with all his might a song of ingenious
pleasure. There was no Implicitly in
DicKy's song. 1t was right from Dlcky's
heart, and as honest as voice from
Heayen.-Dstroit Free Prsss.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT..
How Bridal Wells Arc Worn.

The manner of wearing the bridal veil
now is copied directly from royalty.
Every one is familiar with the arrange
ment of Queen Victoria's cver-prcscnt
veil, and in this manner do the brides of
to-day fancy wearing them. 1t is punched
slightly on the top Of the couture, form
ing q coronct or cap, and thence falls
back over the train. This arrangement
requires a skllful hand, and is generally
intrustcd to a millincr's manipulation. 1t
IS becoming to most faces, but does away
with the traditional use OF the veil
which has always been to cover the
modest face of the maiden, it being an
old-time custom always to lift it as soon
rs the ceremony was performed. The
bridal veil then was full of significance,
now it is merely IN ornament.-Ne,o
York World.

7 Most people know the benefit of lemon
ade before breakfast, but few know that
it is more than doubled by taking another
at night, also. The way to get the better
of the bilious system, without blue pills
or quinine, is to take one, two or three
lemons, as the appetite Graves, in as much
ice water as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed; in
the morning, on rising, at least q half
hour before breakfast, take the juice of
one lemon in a goblet of water. This
will clear the system of humor bile with
efficiency without any of the weakening
effects of calomel or Congress water.
People should not irritate the stomach
by eating lemons clear.

The dangerous custom prevalent in
Oriental countries of allowing madmen
sequence of the superstition that they are
sacred and under the special protection
of the Divinity, has just been attended
with unfortunate results at Bcyrouth in
Syria. A mailman residing with his pa
rents killed his father, while the old man
was asleep, completely scvering the head
from the body. When asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct, he stated that
he proposed hiding the head in order to
see if his father would be able to find it
on waking up.

AntiCfD0tio,

Promise is sweeter than the full ~fruition.
The first soft breath that whispers in the
ear
OF budding c%rocuses and pussy willows
Is dearer tlsen the ripeness of the year.
The first fair glinting of the sail approaching
That brings the loved ones from a SUMMER
land
Is dearer than the close AMI tender clasping
Of eager heart to heart and hand to hand
The first quick glance Of love, half unex-
pected.
Half hoped for, quickens in the trembling
breast
Sweeter and purer throbs thar all the later
And fuller passion openly expressed.
Sweeter by far to watch with beating pulses
The slow unfolding Of the first success
Than to reap harvest from the later
triumphs
That bring at best q dash of bitterness.
Ah, fair anticipation! might we never
Stray from thy horderland of ecstasy,
Norseek to set our all too eager footsteps
In the worn paths of dull reality.

FashiOns IN Pnrnaols.

Parasols this season are unusually var
led, and some of the styles are exceed
ing novel and attractive. In ommon
with the rest of the toilet, ribbon plays
an important part in their adornment.
while lace, guaze and net are used in u
variety of ways. Some of the parasols
have a full ruching of net around the
top, and full folds are brought down
along the ribs and caught in ut the tips.
Others arc covered with loosely plated
Grape or net, and still others have the
lace covering shirrcd around the ton.
whence it falls below the silk in full,
loose folds, drapcd at one side with loops
and ends of ribbon, and showing the
silk beneath. The en-tout-cas is in de-

: The extreme richness of the milk of
the reindeer that feed on the wild moses
of Sweden, has led to an examination of
the moss as n article of food. These
researches have resulted in the establish
ment Of a number of moss dealers in
Russia and Sweden, and a prosperous
and growing interest has been developed.
The moss employed yields, on an av-
erage, as much alcohol as good grain,
and three times as much as potatoes. The
supply is practically inexhaustiblc, as 1t
is spread over vast tracts extending from
the Baltic to Behring Straits.

soil her fingers as a man would, and then
not get it2 Certainly not. Out comes
the hairpin, and the coin is lifted out
without trouble. If her shawl pin is lost,
where SO good a substitute as the hair
PINE If she eats a u does she take a
nut pick? Most assuredly not. The
hairpin again. 1t is with q hairpin that
she rips open the uncut leaves of Il book
or magazine; it is a hairpin with which
she marks her progress in her favoritc
book; if a trunk key is missing, a hair
pin opens the refractory lock as neatly
as a burglars skeleton key would; with
it she cleanses her finger nails, and, if it
is a clean one, even picks her teeth. And
the feats of hair securing that she will
make a simple bow legged hair! in &C
complish nearly surpasscs the belief of
man. Altogether, it deserves to be class
ed among the great inventions of the
world, and the grave of the original
man who created the first one could have
no prouder epitaph than this: "That
is the kind of q hairpin he was."-
