The Finest of SnaWIs.

The finest shawls that are used in this
or any other market. said a well-informed
representative of the shawl trade to the
Saunterer, are those made in India and
known as the India shawl. There is an
imitation India shawl made in France,
but while it is an excellent product of the
loom, it does not in any way compare
with the genuine article. The real India
shawl is made from the wool of the Cash
mere goat by the natives of that land.
The India shawl is made in strips or
pieces by hand and colored and then
sewed together, and the greatest care is
observed in its manufacture. In the imi-
tation India the wool of species of the
same animal is used, but it is of an in
ferior quality, and the goats that furnish
the French market with the material are
raised in Australia. England produces
the camel's hair shawl, the velvet and the
beaver shawls. The camel's hair shawl
is not made from the hair of camel, as
good many people suppose, but from
the combings of the wool of a certain
kind of sheep. These combings are
woven loosely so as to secure the peculiar
effect that is a characteristic of this make.
Besides the imitation India, France manu-
factures a great quantity of broche shawls
in singles and doubles. The material
used in them is all pure wool. Another
kind of shawl imported from France is a
pattern like the real Paisley. Formerly
these Paisleys were made in Scotland
only, but the French shawl manufacturer
pilfered the design from the Scotch, and
as result very few OF the Paisley shawls
come from the land of the plaid and the
bagpipe. Those that are made are to
fill special orders, as they are an expen
sive luxury. In tine real Paisley the WOO
Is the purest and finest selected, and no
chemicals of any kind are used in ia
preparation. Chicaqo Post.

His Heart Was on Ills Right Side.

A man with his heart on the right side
and his internal arrangements generally
wrong fell under the knife of the doctors
at the University of Pennsylvania a few
days ago, says the Philadelphia Record.
DR.. Thomas G. Clark, while dissecting
and demonstrating upon thu body of a
man, probably fifty years old, discovered
a complete inversion Of the abdominal
and thoracic viscera, the peculiar nature
of which is that the heart, instead of be-
ing on the left side, was found to be on
the right, and the aorta, or great artery,
instead of arching to the right, turned to
the left.
Upon further examination it was found
that the stomach and spleen were also on
the right side, while the liver, instead Of
being on the right, was on the left side
"a complete inversion of these organs.
DR.. Joseph Leidy, LII. D., the eminent
scientist and professor Of anatomy in the
University of Pennsylvania, visited the
the dissecting-room, and after thorough
examination, said there was complete
transversion of the organs and a most
wonderful anomaly. He stated that in
all probability there was not a similar
case in existence.
The cadaver was afterward presented
to the university and placed in the
museum. - Chicago Herald

WHO MAY Wear the TltIe aHOn. -

In England the title of Honorable
is bestowed upon Earls, Viscounts and
Barons, both sons and daughters; also
upon members Of the House of Com
mons, Mayors Of principal cities and
other persons occupying positions OF
trust and honor. In the United states
the title is more freely bestowed, judges
of courts, members of both branches Of
Congress, members of State Legislatures,
Governors of States, Mayors of cities
and many other persons occupying pub
lie positions being designated by the pre-
fix. There is no limit to the application
Of the title in this country. 1t is not
official, and no one can claim it Of right.
Il is simply mark of favor, and one
that, of late years, has been applied 50
indiscnminately that it eau hardly be
longer considered a mark Of especial dis
tinction. Detroit Free Press,

A Rain Tree.

Augusta, Ca, has curiosity IN the
shape Of "rain tree" In describing
it the Augusta Chronicle says: "Here in
the city, with electric cars fitting back
ward and forward every few minutes,
almost under its shadow, is a veritable
rain tree, which, for the past ten days,
has been throwing off slight shower
and the ground beneath it kept in a state
of moistness equal to that after a steady
shower of considerable duration. Cit
izens eye it curiously, and many of the
more ignorant, especially darkies in that
neighborhood, affirm with all the strength
of firm faith, that the tree is visited with
some uncanny potency"

A startling number of suicides have
lately taken place among Portuguese
authors. Last June the aged poet Cas-
tello Brauco, the best-liked novel writer
of the day, shot himself. He was well
off and had a numerous family, but had
lately suffered from a malady of the eyes.
Shortly before his death he had written
a novel in which voluntary death was
praised as the most beautiful close to an
active life. His funeral was celebrated
like that of Victor Hugo in France. A
few weeks ago the author Silva de Braga

alistic novels in which the hero always
committed suicide. On July % school

Lemos, took his life in a hotel in Lis.

wife he declared that the earthly life Of
fered him no more room for the develop
ment of his mind. On the 25th Of the
same month Professor Frederick Angus
tus Dom, director of the Royal Obserya-
tory at Ajada, also shot himself. He was
only forty-tive.

The proposition to abolish titles in
France may be taken, declares the
Chicago Neos, as wholesome indication
of the growth of republicanism among
the people of that country. France has
been progressive nation since the days
of Clovis, and in tearing off the bauble
decoration Of "nobility" she will be a
long way ahead of the rest of Europe.
It is time for the old world to learn that
honor and glory do not reside in decora-
ton, nor is there any nobility in wear
ing bit of metal dangling from ribbon.

A recent article in Bradsireets gives
some surprising statistics of the COM
merce of the great lakes. During 234
days of navigation last year tonnage
passed through the Detroit River to the
amount of 10, 900, 600 tons more than
the entria Ind clearances of all the sea-
ports in the United States, and 5000,
900 tons more than the combined foreign
and coastwise shipping of Liverpool and
London. This does not include traffic
between Lakes Superior and Michigan or
Lakes Erie and Ontario, or local traffic
between ports of these lakes. The growth
of ship-building on the lakes has been
very marked in the last few years. In
1867 there were thirty one boats built,
valued at 4,O74, 600, and in 1sS9-9O
there were fifty-six built, valued at 81,
s66, 900, the tendency being, as else
where, toward iron and steel for large
ships.

A New Way of brushing Hair.

"The proper way to brush hair" says
a well-known hairdresser, sis not to
brush it lengthwise, but to hold the
ends of the hair, if it is long enough, and
simply scrub with the brush. This pro-
cess promotes the circulation of the
blood, and exeites the oil-glands to PC
ton. After the hair has been thoroughly
brushed in this way, it should be then

DREAMLAND.
On the other side Of no place,

On the other side Of no place,
And traversed by mirroring streams
Is the land that belongs 20 no race,
The eland that we see in our dreams.
'Tis a country Of flowers and fountains,
With landscapes fair TO behold,
Where green hills and grey mountains
Stretch away toward a sunset Of gold.
There are fruits that mortals neer tasted,
There are skies of beauty most rare,
And, although it is time wasted,
Welong for this land of the air.
'Tis a place we never shall visit,
Though often we gaze on its charms,
For it comes as a pleasure exquisite,
When we rest in old Morpheus's arms.

extreme. Debris was blown in
every direction. The huge boiler
parted near the front and one end
was sent up through the tops of
the trees and carried nearly one
hundred yards. cutting its way
through all obstructions. The
larger end was carried about fifty
yards in the opposite direction
tearing its way through a large
pile of lumber and farther on
breaking large elm log squarely
IN two. Large stones were sent in
every direction for about 90 yards.
In fact everything is total wreck.

Clay Township, May %, 1890.
Last Sunday, May 18th, being
the day set apart by the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South as Chill
drens' Day, Trinity Sunday
School suspended the regular
morning lesson, and devoted the
time to exercises appropriate to
the occasion. On Saturday the
church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and flowers. The
programme consisted ot scripture
reading and prayer, recitations,
declamations, responsive reading,
songs, and short talks by Rev.
Browning, the pastor, and Mr..
Flowers. An unusual interest
was manifested,-over forty chill
dren took part, and the church
was crowded, despite the attrac-
ton Charitonward.
One important feature of the
program not mentioned above was
the collection for the relief of
needy Sunday schools in this and
foreign countries; amount collect
ed was S437
A few words are due the prime
mover of this good work-Mr. A.
L. Stewart, Supt. of Trinity Sun
day School. Owing to his de-
termined efforts, the school did
not 60 into winter quarters, as
usually happens in the country.
He and few faithful ones kept
the work moving, ana this spring,
instead of having to resurrect a
dead Sunday school everything
was alive, and the result is an in
crease in interest and in numbers.
