A Peculiar Pic.

In the year 1921, Gar Alexander visited
the Notifications in the Crimea. He went per-
sonally to the quarters of each company at
dinner time to see how they Jared. Wher-
ever he went he found an excellent dinner on
the table, the principal feature of the meal
being small roast pig.
Prince Wolchonsky, who accompanied the
car, was of a suspicious nature, and it oc-
CURED to him that it was rather peculiar
that each mess should have roast pig, SO he
slyly cut off the pigs tail and put it in his
pocket.
In the next quarters they visited there was
a roast pig on the table, but 10 and behold
it didn't have any tail. Prince Wolchonsly
remarked to the car that he thought the pig
was an old acquaintance, and when the car
asked him what he meant, he produced the
missing tail and fitted it to the amputated
stump of the porker. AS soon as the roast
pig had been inspected in one house, before
the car could reach the next it was whisked
out the back door and made to figure on the
next table that was inspected
Prince Wolchonsky had good cause to re-
pent of his curiosity, as he acquired the eter-
nal enmity of the general in command of the
Crimea, and even the car himself treated
him with GOODNESS and neglect ever after.

A BlOOdless Tragedy.

The most humorous thing that ever l saw
In one of these institutions or, indeed, in all
my "Hours in Library" was what saw
pretensions, and boosted of the newest works.
A gentleman of about SO or so, with his
young wife, came in while | was there, and
the way in which he looked at one book, and
took it up, and put it down again, convinced
me that he was the author of it.
1t was not quite so certain, of course, as in
a picture exhibition, where you see the origi
nal hanging Qike bit of glass with quick
silver behind it) about his own portrait; but
it was equally clear to one in the same line
of business, who had published Though it
may not be in the latest catalogue) a first
book himself
What this bashful debutant wanted to ask
q knew was whether his book was in de-
mand, but being deficient in moral courage
he very naturally made his wife ask. To see
that charming young person, with much hes
itancy and blushing, assume an air of indif-
ference, as she put the desired question to the
librarian, while her husband affected to be
engaged over the index volume of the Ency-
clopedia Britannica, in dark corner (but
listening with all his ears, was as good as
any farce, but when the man answered
cheerfuily:
swell, no ma'am; you are the first that
ever heard ask about it," it was a tragedy to
three of us.-James Payn in London Illus.

.Grasshopper Tome" Antics.

The clerks at the district buildings get q
rood deal of fun out Of the antics Of large
black and white cat in an adjoining stone
yard. From morning until night he may be
seen cautiously picking his way among the
large granite slabs In search Of grasshoppers
Now and then he hushes one, and then the
fun begins. Tom watches where the grass
hopper lights, and makes flank movement
behind the resting place of the unsuspectlng
insect. and before the latter has time to
stretch his wings tabDy is upon him. The
mode of catching him is the interesting part
of the proceeding. Tom springs upon what
he evidently considers the correct locality
and plants his two paws close together on the
mot. and looks around to see if the game Is
escaping If the retreating grasshoper is not
IN sight he carefully lifts one paw and eau
tiously peers under.
Failing to see his game there, the other paw
is lifted When at last the captured game is
discovered Tom is all excitement b tail
suddenly develops new~ife and moves from
side to side with great rapidly. Folding his
hind legs, ready for spring in case he misses
fire, he darts his head in the direction of the
game, and rarely fails in his first attempt.
Catching the grasshopper in his mouth he
gulps him down and, smacking his chops,
moves on for more game. There are two
varieties of grasshoppers in this locality, and
Tom is fastidious, preferring the small va
riety with scant wings, although he eats ap-
parently with much relish the larger ones
after detaching the wings. The boys have
dubbed the cat "Grasshopper Tom," and
when one cries out "Tom's on the trail, >" it
is the signal for general stampede toward
the windows; but Tom doesn't mind having
an audience, and continues his hunt uncon-
scious of their admiring gaze.-Washington

+ ihe ingredients of one. Some hair
nay be made red or red
iish yellow by solution of pure
'ouge in weak solution of crystal
zed carbonate of soda, followed,
when dry, by lemon juice or vim
egar to fix the color. To change
nair to reddish orange there is
sometimes used q solution of tartar
smetic, calculated by some vegetable
acid, and the color is fixed with neutral
aydrosulphuret, or the bisulphuret of
ammonia. A few years ago many
women with light hair dyed the same to
golden hue, it being then the fashion.
Doubtless, some of them, at least, used
preparation the active ingredient of
which was the bichloride of tin, the
color being fixed with the hydrosul-
phuret of ammonia. Where this is used
On darker hair the same becomes gold
IN brown or auburn. In making the
lark dyes, some preparation of silver
the oxide or nitrate-is commonly used.
The Sulphate of iron, salt, wine and nut
gals make up another dark dye. A
dense black is obtained by using the fol-
lowing materials: First, the sulphuret
Of potassium in water. After moisten-
ing the hair with that and allowing it
to dry on, there should then be ap-
piled solution of nitrate of silver and
water. After few hours exposure to
the light hair so treated becomes very
black. But as said in the beginning,
there are very few people, comparatively,
who care to resort to dyes. And it is bet
ter so, for many of those on sale are abso-
lutely poisonous, while the balance of
them, if they do not injure the general
health, are at least hurtful to the hair.
AS for Notwithstanding that
will merely darken the hair without dis
coloring the skin-there might be
satisfaction for some people in using it.
But no one should trifle with any prepa-
ration of the sort unless they know it's
ingredients and have been assured by a
physician or chemist that it contains
nothing injurious. An eminent lady
physician was won't to advise her
patients who would cover up the finger
marks of age to use the following to re-
store the color of the hair turning gray:
Rust of iron, dram; strong old ale, 1
pint; oil of rosemary, 10 drops. Put the
mixture in a bottle, cork it loosely,
shake it daily for ten or twelve days;
then, after the mixture has settled, turn
off the clear portion for use. Another
prescription of hers for the purpose was
as follows: Powdered sulphate of iron, 1
dram; rectified spirit, 1 ounce; oil of
rosemary, 10 drops; pure rain water, u
pint. Shake until mixture is complete.
While using either of these it would, of
course, be necessary to keep the hair
clean. Probably they would serve the
purpose and stay for time, at least, the
natural changes. Certainly these
"darkeners" are practically innocent

Didn't Know the Word.

At the recent laying of corner stone for a
new Episcopal church in this diocese, the
sensibilities of the white robed clergy were
somewhat shocked by the well intended but
decidedly unchurchly remark of newspaper
reporter, who had been sent out to make a
report of the ceremony. The reporter ar
rived on the scene little bit late, as report
ers sometimes do and applied to the first
minister he came across for an account of
the proceedings. The minister kindly told
him about it, and in the course of his nara
tive used the somewhat unfamiliar and pos
sibly unauthorized expression: 1.-THE bishop

please" said the newspaper man, who had
run behind in taking his notes. "You say
the bishop helloed the stone; why, it's some
kind of telephone stone, amt ito Yes, see
it's when you call up central Go on with
the story" But the accommodating minis.
ter did not go on. He looked bewldered for

sadness than in wrath. He was around al

70 MYMOTHER-.

As the still prayers that never move the lips,
but flow to God
Through those invisible channels that we know
not of,
Rise sweeter, purer, hOlier than the idle words
It is within the power Of tongue to speak,
SO Of the unsung sOngs-the melodies that lie
Deep-buried in the soul, too closely intertwined
With its soul-life to leave it-these are the
songs
Which stir the heart far deeper than the hollow
words
It falls within the gift of hand to trace.
I have no power to sing to thee the sweet
thought melodies
Which flow, like heavenly music, through my
soul to night
Songs of the good thou hast wrought in my
poor nature;
Songs of the love bear for thy dear, tender
heart.
1 lift my pen, but as the low winds sink to rest
Far down the mountain side, among the deep
night shadows,
So sink my thoughts in the deep shades Of my
mortality.
When Gods eternal morning breaks, and we
shall stand together,
Freed from the bonds Of Earth, then shalt thou
hear the melodies
Which STIR like breath Of Heaven, in my soul
tonight.
