Bleaclied MOustaches.

"Thc latest fad is bleaching NOUS

do it. Men buy the bleach and Apply
it at homo. 1t is done mostly by young
men. You can see lots OF young men
today with dark brown hair who have
lcvcly blond mou3tache4. The bleach
makes the moustache streakod in lines
Of gold and light brown The girls
like blond moustaches Black NOUS
taches, even of the simon pure sort,
have lost favor.
''Nlen with fiery red mou tachos use
bleach now 2daya. Not all men with
red moustaches, but great many.
You won't see near so many rcd NOUS
taches now as you could have seen a
year ago You'll see q man with head
OF red hair, while his moustache will be
a lovey tint of old gold. The bleach
is just as injurious as the black hair
dye. A good many men with red
boards use the bleach too. A blond
teard is very fashionable nowadays.

likely to detect bogus bond beard or

his business can tell them every time. "

Mingrelian Rituals.

Tho people of MingrelIa, in tho Cau-
casuq, although proiessodly Christians,
arc, according to Freiherr Won Guttner,
addicted to practlc and sacrifices that
sm' OK of heathenism. Off.rings are
established for all kinds of occasions,
which every cou1tryman can tale off on
his fingers at will. Days are set for
services to insure tho protection of live
stock against disease The most i'm
posing Of these is in behalf of the horse.
Cakes are baked, on which Is impressed
the image of horse or horsehoe, and
are cast into hollow tree, drenched
with wine and blessed by tho priest,
while the participants in the sacrifice
hop around the tree and initiate the
caperihg and neighing of horses. Ia
case person has the measles, he and his
attendants arc dressed in red and the
room is hung with tho same color and
adorned with red flowers, whilo care is
taken not to irritato tho demon by US
ing cutting instrument or admitting
dog. For diseases of the eye, little
rouad cakes arc made furnished with
inserted pupils to resemble an eye. and
then swung before the eyes of the pa
tient. The priests are cognizant of
these off rings and are sal il fact to
get the best part Of tho gifts. -IPopu-

a Mnknr of Kid GLOVES.

An interesting spectacle can bc witt
messed on Broad way every pleasant
evening. In the window Of kid glove
store aman wearing a soiled blouse en-
tertains quite crowd by the skilful
manner IN which he dresses kid skins
for the glovemakers. His knife might
be called three inch broad chisel, of
razor-like keeness, which he pushes
delicately but swiftly over the uneven
surface of the rou III leather smoothing
it down most beautifully. Every in :
slant he is obliged to whot the blade
with what appears to be an ordinary
piece Of smooth steel. Occasionally
the artisan cuts the skin, but he pays
no attention to the slip. As soon as
the skin is dressed it is wrapped in a
damp cloth with 4 number of Others.
When he has finished a number Of
choice, highly coIorcd skins, the opera
tor takes ono of them and cuts out a
piece which is to be used for the back
of the glove, the section being frequent
ly eighteen inches in length. From tho
same piece he cuts out the palm and
the scraps he traces for the insertion
pieces for the f1gers.
Ordinarily he uses no guide for the
pieces, but when a lady "leayes her
measure he has to exercise as much
care in cutting out the pattern as tail
or does in preparing a suit pattern. -

IT has beon calculated that, as fish
produce so many eggs, If vast numbers
of the latter a1d OF the fish themselves
were not continually destroyed and
taken they would soon fill up every

Goldfish are annually eau 5ht on the
shores Of Newfoundland. BIT oven
that qulntity seems small when it is
considered that each cod yields about
4, 800, 600 eggs every season, and that
even 5000, 900 have been found in the
roe of single cod. Wero the 60 000
600 cod taken on the coast OF Newfound-

Goldfish. Other fish, though not equal
ling the cod, arc wonderfully prolific.
A herring weighing six or seven ounces
IS provided with about 80 600 eggs.
After mixing all reas enable allowances
for tho destruction of eggs and the
young it has been estimated that in
three years a single pair of herrings
would produce 1914, 600, 900. Buif3n

Streams that Vanish.

Ole OF the peculiar features Of Idaho
scenery is the fr quont occurrence of
dark, rocky chasms ard channels of lava
into which streams and rivers plunge
aud are apparently forever lost.
These f,sures are supposed to be old
lava beds. The outside of the molten
mass cooled and formed roof, the fiery
stream below became exhausted, leaving
an empty chamber. A break in this
roof having occurred, an opening was
formed into which the river or stream
now disappears, to reappear as mys-
terious lake, basin or spring on some
distant mountain or plain.
On the banks Of the Sake River one
of these streams reappoars, gushing
from high cliff in cataract to the

CnrIous Feet Of the Chinese Jacana

One OF the most striking notifications
of bird foot is found in the little Chi
nesc jacano, which is a water bird in
its haunts and habits and yet is not so
in appe arauce. Its food Is found for
the most part on the leaves OF the
aquatic weeds which rise above the sur
face Of the water, and consists of the
tiny insect life always so abundant
there. Many of these aquatic plants,
notably tho lily, cover the surface Of
the water with a rank but unstable
growth. No one or two of the leaves
would afford sufficient resting place
for even a bird; but distribute the
weight of a small bird over several Of
the leaves, and it could wander over the
undulating surface with perfect safety.
Tho toes OF tho jacana arc so disprOpor-
tionately elongated that the desired
condition is attained, and it can pass
securely over a carpet of floating weeds
where a lighter bird, lacking the elon-
gated toes, would sink at once into the
water. The jacana enduros the water
we'll enough, but it is on the surface and
not in the water that it finds its food.
When alarmed, it dives at once into the
water and swims some distance before
coming up. And even then it does not
como fairly to the surface, but merely
thrusts its long bill out of water until
the nostrils are exposed, and so hidden
it remains until danger is past. i scien-

Dat OF the silence wake me a song
Beautiful, sad, soft and low;
Let the loyeliest music sound along,
And wing each note with a wall Of woe.
Dim and drear,
As hopes last tear,
Out of the silence wake me hymn,
Whose sounds are like shadows soft ant
dim.
Out of the stiffness of your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Wake me a song, thou child of artl
The song Of hope in a last despair.
Dark and low,
A chant of woe,
Out Of the stiffness, tone by tone,
Cold as snowflake, low as a moan.
Out of the darkness flash me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night.
Sing it sweet,
Where nothing is drear or dark or dim,
And earth song scars into heavenly hymn.

Who have no shelter.

With those who most thy rigors feel,
In trembling suppliauce they kneel
And crave thy mercy.

Each year increasing more and mors
His deeds of kindness.
