The Island of Bermuda is a sort of
natural observatory for watching gales
from the tropics in the north Atlantic,
and as it is about to be connected by sub
marine cable with Halifax in Nova
Scotia, it will he possible for us to get
early intelligence of the atmospheric
movements in the mid-ocean, and, as it
were, to feel the pulse of the storm. The
cable is to be laid primarily for imperial
reasons, but it can not fail to be useful
in a meteorological respect We may
also add that the entire continent of
Africa, with the exception of the north
coast, has now been girdled by system
Of coast cables. There is no o her CON-

A little boy who had won prize for
learning Scripture verses and was greatly
elated thereby was asked by minister
If it took him a long time to commit
them.
-Oh, no, said the boy, boastfully, IT

minutes.

@Yes, sir. !"
@Then in five minutes from now
would like very much to hear you re-

ing him the book and pointing out the
ninth verse of the eighth chapter Of
Esther:
Then were the kings scribes called
at that time in the third month, that is,
the month Swan, on the three and
twentieth day thereof; and it was writ

What Not to Buy.

In this world of frills and frivclsthere
are some things that had better be left
%unbought, and here IRE a few: Either
green Or red gloves; do not permit
yourself to be tempted by any smooth
tongued salesman into believing that
anybody ear them-they don't!
Bustles; they were always bad form,
and now they are recognized as not only
being out Of the line of beauty, but in
extremely bad style.
Very short skirts for the house; they
are awkward, and belittle you from a
mental as we'll as a physical standpoint.
Keep a pretty tea-gown with a bit of a
train.
Yellow storm.coats: Choose instead
very dark blue ones.
Umbrellas with handles that look as
if the silver Of the family had been put
into the pot and boiled down for this
purpose. They are worse than a green
postage stamp as far as giving the
looker-on o cachet as to your good
taste.
Colored letter paper: 1t died in the
same year with hoopskirts.
Rhinestone jewelry: 1t shouldnever
be worn in the daytime, and people will
think you are trying to pass it off for
diamonds if you try to wear it at night.
Earrings: A beautiful ear looks
better without them, and an ugly one
should nothave attention drawn to it by
them.
Each and every one of these is as
much to be abhorred as the oft-quoted
scarlet woman, but this season, if the
scarlet woman isn't very prevalent, it
will be because the dye has given out
and she cannot paint her frock red.
She talks about healthful tones, and
you know, as a man, that red was never
offensive to anybody except a bull, and
in view of this, you will have to bear it;
and you will, like the noble-hearted
American citizen that you are, bear it,
and ever squeeze tiff the woman
is fetching enough.

Girls, Learn to Ran.

There is one glory of the sun and an.
other glory of the moon, and one sta1
diHereth from another star in beauty.
Women are not born equal in personal
attractiveness, but any girl, not posi-
lively deformed, can learn to rum. To
see a woman run is to look at a goose
wadaling. Did you ever look at a frieze
of Cheek girls running in any classic
collection? Did it not impress you
with It's beauty, health and sweetness,
its Joy in living? Could you look at
the round, supple limbs. instinct with
grace and freedom, the short tunics,
the lightness and poise of the figures,
without feeling that those large-eyed,
strong-lunged creatures were what
women were meant to be? Many dis
orders of the complexion come from
functional disorders, and to be able to
run is to possess strong hips. The
pose of the archer as the arrow is loosed
is said to be the most graceful position
a woman can assume. To paddle q
canoe-not row q boat, which
is a very different matter-;s
wonderful specific to round the

Counting Cat.

The season for dances has begun, says
the Philadelphia North american, and
every young girl who has finished school
and Is able to entertain her friends is
expecting to enjoy herself to the utmost
when she glides over smooth floors in
the arms of some nice young fellow to
the enhancing strains of Strauss and
Waldteufel. A young girl who is about
to enter society is termed "a "bud." be-
she is an undeveloped blossom,
even more attractive to many than the
full-fedged society girl who has had
the experience of worldly things gained
by going through q couple of seasons.
The first duty of a bud is to have a
tea, to which all her fathers and moth
er's friends as we'll as her own should
be invited, and then she is really started
on her social career. Teas are rather
tame affairs, not only because the ice
cream, waters, and coffee are insufficient
to satisfy the hunger of the sterner sex,
who prefer when they go out to have
something substantial if no dancing is
in order, but because the attractive girls
who are not receiving are apt to decline
being present if there is another en-
gagement of amore important character
scheduled for the same evening. The
tea, however, is a highly necessary
event, and it is a cheap way of paying
off any numberl of social obligations.
At her first tea the bud always looks
charming in her attractive white garb,
and her cousins or school friends who
assist her in making the affair pass of
pleasantly are particularly anxious to
call attention to her good looks as they
beam over huge corsage bouquets and
endeavor to prove even more attractive
themselves.
After the tea, when the young CIR
has been fattered by the attention sh,
has received and has been called upo1
by young men and older ones, who have
had more experience in addressing com
pliments to the fair sex, she is ready fol-
balls, germans, and dancing classes
and if she has any personal charms and
knows how to sway her form in time tc
waltz, polka. yorke, Berlin, Danish
dance, or militaire schottische music she
is sure to have a good time. Even il
she knows but few people others are
sure to solicit an introduction from he,
chaperone or other attendant and hel
dances will 500 be engaged.
The first season Of a young girl is TO,
her a delightful existence. Alas, that
it is so quickly gone!

HOW TO MATE ,CAN4RxES.

GLOW do you mate canary birds?" re
peated a %fancier, after a patrons ques.
ton yesterday. "Why, take three OF
four birds Of both sexes and hang up
their cages around in the same room.
They begin to chirp. The average OBJ
server would probably note nothing
particular about their chirping. but, if
his attention was called to it, he could
soon observe that the birds select which
one they will chirp to, and that certain
couples begin chirping only to them
selves. They drop their singing al
together, and only talk to each other in
uninterrupted courtship. When the
style of address and speech and senti-
ments of the canaries please each other
at this distance it is mot always sure
that they will mate.
"They are easily deceived with each
other, and after the marriage ceremony,
which consists Of putting them in the
same cage with the hopeful blessings of
the man who wants to raise some bird
lings, they may fight like shovel and
tongs. But generally their voices pleas
ing each others ears signifies more than
q mere Irritation and means they will
love each other forever and ever. Just
as when you see a young man and
woman hanging over the same piano
and chirping White Wings together.

A TINY EATLHu.al1.

A wonderful railroad is the one which
connects the towns Of Bedford ard
Bellevue, Mass. 1t is nine miles in
length, and is probably as unique as
any on the globe. The distance is not
so astonishing, except when the gauge
Of ten inches is considered. In the
short distance traversed by the pigmy
it crosses eleven streams: with bridges
from five to thirty-tiye feet in height.
The rails weigh but twenty pounds to
the yard, about the size of these used
in the mines Of Missouri and Illinois.
The cars and engines are constructed
so as to be very near the ground, insur-
ing greater safety. The cars are pro-
yided with single seats on each eide of
the aisle. The car itself weighs but
four tons, the weight OF an ordinary car
being twenty to twenty-six tons. The
engine, without the tender, weighs seven
tons, and runs with two passenger OF
freight cars at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. There is q smaller railroad
than this in the United S~tates-the one
in Bucks County. Pa, but it is only
kept as an expensive toy by a rich
farmer who has made a fortune out o
oil.-Albany ArQas.

Fruits.

Fruits are the natural corrective for
d~isordered digestion, but the way in
which many persons eat them converts
them into q curse rather than a bless
ing. Instead of being taken on an
empty stomach OF in combination with
simple grain preparations, as bread,
they are eaten with oily foods, with
meat and vegetables, pungent season
ings or other u~nwholesome condiments,
OF they are taken at the end of the
meal after the stomach is already full,
and perhaps the whole mass Of food
washed down with tea, coffee or other
liquid, OF they are eaten at all hours Of
the day or late at night, with ice cream,
cake or other rich desserts.
Fruits to do their best work should
be eaten either on an empty stomach,
or with bread-never with vegetables.
In the morning, before the fast of the
night has been broken, they are not
only exceedingly refreshing, but they
serve as natural stimulus to the digest
i've organs. And to produce their full
est, finest effect they should be ripe,
sound, and every way Of good quality;
moreover, they should be eaten raw.
What is better than a bunch of luscious
grapes or q plate of berries or cherries
on q summer morning, the
first thing on sitting down to break
fast? Or a fine, ripe apple, rich and
juicy, eaten in the same way!
In our climate apples should consti-
tute not the finishing. but the beginning
of the mea', particularly the break
fast, for at least six months in the
year, and fruits, raw OF cooked, should
make a part Of the morning and even
ing meal during the entire year. The
good effects that would follow the album
dant use of fruits are often more than
counterbalanced by the pernicious
habit of completely ~saturating them
with sugar. Very few fruits, if thor
ripe, and at their best, require
any sugar, particularly if eaten in the
raw state.-HeoM IN the Household.
