THE HATS OF ALL LANDS.

In Norway high hat shaped something
like fiower-pot, is worn, and the Cossack
wears hat Ike stovepipe, without brim.
TO-DAY among the Swiss bat is worn
similar in form to the old Puritan hat. II.
however, is often ornamented with CAV
colored ribbons laced about it.
TIE narabout, or black priest of Mahon-
med, who wanders among the African
tribes, wears upon his sable head a white
cap or fez, such ~ be expects TO wear in
Paradise.
IL Mohammedan countries the turban is
found. Some OF these are scarfs wrapped
and twisted about the head. Others are
combinations OF scarfs and fez, with a but
ton and tassel
Az African hat is in the form Of helmet,
woven Of PUSHES or straw, having peaked
top and mask or visor extending down

Erect of Gas on the Ewes.

Authorities on optics say that any arti-
fetal light is more or less injurious to the
eyes if they are used long by it, chiefly on
account of the want of diffusion IN all arti-
fetal light. The German Minister of In
struction issued some time ago report
upon the influence of gas-light on the eye.
The conclusion arrived at in this report
the result of frequent conference with well
known physicians-is that no evils follow 8
moderate use of gas if the direct action of
the yellow fame on the eye is prevented.
For this purpose milky-white glass shade
is said to be the best, as it distributes the
light evenly. People whose eyes are very
sensitive may with advantage use shades OF
a dark blue tint When working by arti.
fetal light the best plan is to let it fall from
above and over the left shoulder

A LESSON.
''Ways are not scarce nor chances few
For those who long Gods work to do"


For those who long Gods work TO do"
Said one unto h imself: 1 would
That might WELD some power for good;
That l some wondrous tongue could learn
To speak the thoughts and words that burn;
That 1 could marvellous colors mix,
Wherewith on sacred walls TO az
The glimpse OF Heaven, the holy dream,
That should from sin mems thoughts redeem;
An that some rare gem were mine
Whereon to carve the face divine.
Another took the self-same words
We use each day,
The words wherewith we chide or bless,
We curse or pray,
And with them sang a song that through
The wide world rings,
And numbering souls that hear it wake
To nobler things.
Another, with no pigments rare,
With naught but wood charred in the damO,
Drew scenes that softly call to prayer
And mutely glorify Gods name.
Within vast cathedral stands
Az image carved by loving hands,
An image of The Crucifed.
Rich treasures deck the holy pile,
But they who tread its shadowy aisle,
From all these splendors turn aside
And time and time again retrace
Their steps, to gaze upon the face,
Which from the marble cross looks own.
And yet this stone that melts to tears
fhe eye that looks on it for years
Lay meath the feet OF all the town.
"For those who long Gods work to do,
Ways are not scarce nor chances few"
Virginia Is. Harrison, in Youth Companion.

SOCIETY SCRAPS.

THE latest thing in marriage is for the
bride to have attendants but no brides
maids. 1t is considered very English.
THE latest of fashions fancies is to have
crests and monograms printed on the top
leftehand corner of envelopes, and to use
stationery of pronounced ssmignonette''
tint.
SOME of the handsomest pieces of bric-a-
brac for the cabinet are made of old ivory.
This delicate material, deeply tinged by
age, is indeed beautiful, and to the lover of
antiquity possesses charm all its own.
THE newest feature of personal adorn-
ment Is made up of hairs from the tail of
the African elephant, made into watch
guards and bracelets. The elephant is now
becoming so scarce that his relics are said
to be very fashionable.
THE really proper way to serve strawber-
ries nowadaysis with the stems on. Part
of small saucer should have little mound
OF powdered sugar poured into it, and on
the other side the largest and choicest ber-
ries obtainable should be heaped up. Each
berry Is taken up by the stem, dipped into
sugar and eaten from the fingers.
IT is said that the fashionable shade Of
hair just now is light brown, so full of
warm tints as to seem red in the sunlight.
Fashion has always been arbitrary In her
DEGREES, but ii is somewhat despotlc, to say
the least, that she should thus extend her
jurisdiction TO the hair. and make ruling
to which some can not conform without

Why tho Sky Is Blue.

Prof. Hartley, of London, has been trying
to find out why the sky is blue. His expert
ments show that the color arises from the
action of ozone upon the rays Of light The
results Of his examination of ozonized air
go to prove that it is impossible for rays of
light to pass through SO little as five miles
of air without the rays being colored sky
blue by the ozone commonly present, and
shat the blue Of objects viewed on a clear
day at greater distances up to thirty-tive to
fifty miles must be almost entirely the blue
ness of ozone in the air." In his labora-
tory experiments he observed that the
quantity of ozone giving full sky blue in a
tube only two feet in length is two million
five hundred thousand milligrammes in
each square centimeter of sectional area in
the tube.

A Too Common Mistake.

The common study of abstruse subjects
is calculated to lead one into the error of
making easy questions difficult. Hence they
who have been accustomed to refnements
of science and multiplications of contriv-
anee, soon lose their confidence in the unas-
sisted powers of nature, forget the paucity
of our real necessities, and overlook the
easy methods by which they may be sup

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Curious Observations Made by q SUDDEN
of Natural History,

q Student
of Natural History.
Many of the birds common about the
fields and woods of this section fly hun
dreds and thousands of miles in the tall to
some land where the rigors of winter do
not reach. Some of them can be found at
the Key OF Tortugas, two hundred miles
and over from Cape Florida, the southern
jumping-oh place of the United States.
Numbers of the English birds and many
from Northern Europe make yearly
voyages down into the African continent,
says writer in the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, and careful observers state that they
have seen the great storks so common in
Germany moving along high in the air
bearing on their broad backs mbers of
small birds that had taken free passage, or
were, perhaps, stealing ride. In these
wonderful migratious many birds are
blown out to sea and lost, while others be-
come so fatigued and worn out that they
will alight upon boats. A New England
fisherman, who in the autumn follows his
calling fourteen or fifteen miles out from
shore, informed me that nearly every day he
had four or five small birds as companions.
They had wandered on from shore, or
were flying across the great bay on the low
er coast of Maine, and had dropped down to
rest. One day the same fisherman fell
asleep while holding his line, and upon sud-
denly opening his eyes there sat a little
bird on his hand, demurely cooking its
head this way and that, as If wondering
whether he was an old wreck or piece Of
driftwood Thus 1t Will be seen that birds
are obliged to adopt all kinds Of expedients
and to form strange friendships at such
times.
A curious spectacle often seen in South
ern seas By sailors long before land Is
sighted is that of the long legged f1am1ngo
resting on the back Of some great sea tur-
tiey enjoying his ease by floating On the
waters surface. What prompted the bird
to take such long flight eaz only be con-
iectured; but it is evident the journey
proved fatiguing, and 1t settled on the tur-
ties inviting hack for \ rest.

Those golden days whose shifting sands hay

And left a present barren of the sun
AS one who noble gains had pridefully
amassed
To find them melt like fairy gold at last,

Deploring the dear wealth SO dearly won,
So lavishly upon the waters cast.
