Wasn't Built That Way,

The fact that a slight fire in the
kitchen was extinguished before he

vent one of Lowell's excitable small

bub was over the minister took the
boy to task for losing his head and
making such a racket.

presence of mind" he said.

Mans Mean Measure.

The Investigations of the anthrop--
illogical committee of the British as
ISOLATION, recently reported, exhibit
the following as the mean measure
of mans size in the various countries
ofEurope: The English are the tallest
race among men, their average height
being 5 feet 10 inches, the working
classes included, outside of which the
average stature would amount to
only feet.9 inches, The Norwegians,
however, are at least their equals.
The Danes, Dutchmen, and Hunga-
rians average feet 8 inches; the
Swiss, Russians, and Belgians, feet
Z 4-5inches. The Frenchman's mean
stature, like that of the German,
does not rise above 5 feet 5h inches.
In Germany there appears decided
difference of size between the inhabit-
ants of the south and those of the.
north; for example, the Hanoverians
and Bavarians-in favor of the form

nations. are the Italians and Span
iards, who show q mean of only 5

IN CHILDHOOD.


At midnight In wintry land
Weakened from sweetest dreams.
And found the little guest.room filed
With the fair moons soft beams.
They lay like lilies on my bed,
And all the vale below
For was in convent high
Bloolned lilies mid the snow.
And all the slender trees about
Their silv'ry branches tossed
Ore deep-roofed, silent houses. hung,
With fringes OF the FROST.
And down the star-gemmed sky I saw
The enchanting angels come,
Bearing aloft fair lily sprays
Unto this mountain home.
They wound about the frowning cIin
And the dark pine trees shade,
Then brighter merged into the light
The patient moonbeams made.
Again slept, nor walked till dawn
Had kissed the chastened air,
And sweetlY stole the silver tones
OF bells that called to prayer.
Then in the chapel, all aglow,
l saw the lilied shrine
BY angels decked at midnight
Sweet waking dream OF mine.

Refuse to Shave Widows Heads.

The agitation among the BARRIERS of
Bombay is likely to result in their re-
fusal to shave widows heads. or course,
those who are acquainted with native
views in India will recognize that this
intimation is not so comical as it sounds,
but has very serious meaning and re-
fleets great credi. on the native barber.
1t is relic of o system of cruel treat
ment of native widows That they should
have their hair shorn off at the moment
of their affection. Native journals have
recently been denonneing the cruel
practice in spite of the opposition OF the
Brahmins, who have themselves threat
ened to cut the hair of the widows il the
BARRIERS refuse. This, however, it is
said, the Brahmins could not do without
losing CASTE The revolt in Bombay is
due to the excessive cruelty praetieed
toward widows there. Up country, says
an Indian contemporary, the practice Of
shaving the widows head is not so per-
sistently enforced as in Bombay. The
hair is allowed to grow again, and the
widow is only expected to submit to q
renewal Of the unwelcome operation
when she visits shrine Of special sancr
tity. In Bombay widows are shaved
regularly once a week, and this causes
them deep distress.-London Daily
