be called Hole-in-the-Day.
Joseph had an elder brother, lgnatinS
Hole-in-the-D Day, who graduated at St Johns

bright fellow, and proved quite linguist.
One of his old classmates relates that when
he first came to the school it naturally took
him some little time to get broken in.
One day he came across one Of the pro"
fessors, and picking up stone hurled it at
him with such force that the pedagogue Lay
senseless for half an hour. They were more

It Was q Pretty Foot.

The funniest incident of my trip was in q
sleeping car, writes tGath' in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. 1t was in the morning, when
most Of the passengers had got out of their
berths, and only several sets Of curtains were
drawn tightly in front of still slumberous
persons. Suddenly a foot was thrust out
between two curtains. 1t was small, white
and symmetrical--no more than a feminine

looked soft and fine. The men glanced at it
from the corners of their wicked eyes. The
women deprecated the exposure. Then q
bold, brazen fellow went right straight to
the pretty foot, grabbed the ankle and
flung the whole member rudely into the
berth.
s'He wouldn't treat his bride so," said a
woman close by. 'tIt must be his sister,"
Then the head Of q ten-year-old urchln
emerged where the foot had been, and a
sleepy, angry, boyish voice said: 'tLook
here, Sam, you let me alone. Next time
you ketch hold of my foot that way Ill
kick the gizard out Of you."
There was subsistence of sentimental
interest and risibility of mirth.

EGYPTIAN WOMEN.
Peculiarities of Their Looks, Dress, Man
u0r9 and Customs.

In youth the women of Egypt, writes s
correspondent of Truth generally have
lovely forms-plump, supple and elegant.
An excess of flesh is rare among them.
Graceful curves, an upright carriage and
finely nodded hands and feet are common
characteristics. Their faces, too, are usual
" pleasing and often beautiful, with the
richly. tinted softness Of the south. Sosweet
is the expression of these faces, so bewitch-
ing are the glances of their dark eyes, that
an experienced traveller declares they are
the most perfect women in the world.
The eyes Of nearly all are large, black and
almond shaped; their soft expression, still
universal use of sskohl," with which they
blacken the edges of the lids. They have
oval faces, sometimes little broad, and
clear olive compilations. The lips are usual
ly quite full; the nose is straight, though a
brows that form lovely arch complete the
features of these sirens, famed since Cleo
patra for their beguiling beauty.
They dress the hair in an elaborate fash
ion. 1t is cut short over the forehead, but
On either side of the face hangs full lock,
often curled or braided The rest Of the
hair is arranged in numerous braids, usual
ly from eleven to twenty-five, but always
an odd number. Three black silk cords
bearing little ornaments of gold are gen.
orally fastened to each braid, hanging
down the back in a glitteriag shower. The
head dress is complex arran cement. 1t
consists of a kind of turban, round which is
commonly bound gay kerchief or a long
strip Of muslin folded into narrow band
The latter is usually black or rose-colored.
The central part is ornamented for several
inches with spangles that fall over the fore
head, while the ends are decked with gay
edging, and tasSels Of colored silks above
which few more spangles are sewn. On
the crown OF the head-dress is worn round
convex ornament called the skurs." 1t is
about five inches in diameter and as costly
as the wearer can afford. Wealthy ladies,
and even the wives Of some small trades
men, wear those composed OF diamonds set
in gold. Others wear simple golden
l1urs, silver leing seldom seen, even among
servants. The head-vail consists Of q long
piece of white muslin embroidered at each
end with colored silk and gold, or Of colored
crepe ornamenteo with gold thread and
pangles. This is drawn we'll forward
upon the head, while the long ends hang
down behind nearly to the ground The
face-yail always worn in public, is a simple
strip of white muslin fastened just below
the eyes, from which it falls nearly to the
feet. Tt completely hides AL tine features
except the eyes, but as these are commonly
the greatest beauty Of the women, it serves

General de Trobriand, in his book s'The
Army of the Potomac relates many Incl
dents illustrating the influence of innagina-
ton, One poor fellow believed he had a
bali in the head, and prepared to die on &C.
count of it. He died. Another with his
eve gone and his eyebrows burned OF
thought nothing was the matter. Another
instance was that of surgeon who had
been ailured into the army by q salary. He
had been a man Of luxurious habits. He
found himself living without 6re in a tent
covered with snow. He sought to make
himself comfortable by making a fire in the
open air and toasting one side while the
other froze. he could not get used to the
n,eager fare and no bed Of the camp. But
the roaring Of cannon ended his career. He
became livid, trembling like a leaf; he
shook at each detonation and seemed about
to lose his legs. II an dead man." he at
last exclaimed as if actually shot. II must
go away or an q dead man." And there
had not been shot anywhere near tho di-
vision. He had to be carried to hospital
and discharged. At Gettysburg d color
bearer staggered and fell back. :<Steady,"
called the Colonel. IT am wounded" he re-
piled in a choking voice. ssWhere?" tsIn
the throat" The commander leaned over
his horse and looked. s'It is nothing. I see
no blood" He Immediately retook his place,
raising up his flag. The bali had really
struck him III the neck but bounded off his
leather collar, and the shock had choAed
him for moment.
On the dawn Of the day after Gettysburg
De Trobriand found 81 young sergeant
stretched out on his back, his head resting
on hat stone serving for pillow. His
position was natural, even graceful. One
knee lightly raised, his hands crossed on
his breast, his eyes closed, he seemed to
sleep: perhaps dream of her who awaited
him in the Green Mountains. He was dead.
Wounded, he had dragged himself there to
die composedly. His haversack was near
him. He had taken out Of it little book on
which his last looks had been cast, for it
was still open in his rigid fingers. 1t was
the New Testament. Different was the
tale of Florida lad. Scarcely twenty
years old, he had been bullied by Confed-
crate agents into entering the army. His
left heel was carried away by a piece Of
shell. Els right hand was torn off by q
canister shot--two arnputations he did not
complain Of; but when be spoke of return
ing crippled TO aged parents dependent On
him, his smile was more heart-breaking g
than any complaint could be.

THE OPEN BOOK OF NATURE.

There is a wealth that gladdens
the heart" one that broadens and
purifies the soul. This wealth is the
ground of satisfaction, and keeps
alive noble thought, and take us out
of self. And what is it that can make
us rich in poverty and glad in midst
of sorrows?
Love of nature enables us to see the
color aud tints of cloud and sky and
earth, and so long as we can see with
our natural eyes no calamity or no
disgrace can deprive us of this one
blessing. Would that in our schools
better still in our home training, we
could be so educated that our eyes
and souls would be open to this full
ness of nature, that from our earliest
davs we could drink Ill the beauty
and jov and be able to catch the
