And at this Captain Jennifer, who was
playing cribbage with Miss Flutter-
bucket, laughed so hard that he shook
all the pins out of the board and they
had to begin over again.
The Gibbons girls brought over their
backgammon board and Authors" and
the people played games and laughed
and chatted all the evening.
The doctors wife knew at once how
this party had been arranged as soon as
she got there and saw the lack olan-

found large white apron and put it on
and came down and set the table and
cut cakes and spread biscuits and by
nine o'clock supper was ready. And if
you had seen the gallons of coffee and
quarts of cream disappear, / think you
would have been surprised too.
By eleven o'clock the party was over

And then ne covered the lower part
of his face with his hand and looked
into the fire, and the children wondered
what he saw, for he did not look up

The next morning Hiram got up very
early and fed all the seeds to the pigs;

The Uniforms Too Bright.

1t is pointed out as one Of the conse-
ouences of the universal introduction Of
smokeless powder which is now immi-
nent, that, as soldiers will have to seek
all possible cover, it will be necessary
to multiply the number of orderlies and
messengers, and the Commander-in-
Chief will have to take his position in
the centre of action to watch every
thing and be ready to modify the orig
inal plan, swiftly if needful. The
change from brilliant uniforms to those
of soberer and safer hues will involve
such expense that 1t is likely to be &c.
ferred for while, but the glitter of
helmets and bayonets is now so danger
ously visible that already the French
Minister of War has given orders that in
the army of the republic these shall be
dullod with bronze. News.

DIAMOND MINES.
Tho Lates. Scientific Theory Concerning
Their Formation.

How did the South African diamonds
ever get there? How much deeper are
we going down? Are diamonds going to
be found in as large quantities as at
present? There are various theories as
to how these mines have been formed,
but all agree in attributing them to
volcanic action. They are all funnel
shaped, the sides of the funnel being
composed of a dense igneous rock,
known in miners parlance as reef" 1t
is of a soapy nature, easily acted upon
by the atmosphere, consequently most
dangerous, as large pieces, in some in
stances, weighing hundreds of tons, get
detached. There are no means of shor-
ing it up; and, without warning, these
enormous slices will slide off into the
working portion of the mine, burying
the claims and sometimes killing the
employees. The whole of the funnel is
filled with this "blue" ground. the reef
sloping at various angles, but on an
average of one in fifteen. The theory is
that in time the sides of the reef will
meet at some great depth, supposed by
some to be 1000 feet, by others more;
and that then we shall arrive at the
aperture forming the bottom of the fun
mel. Whether that hole will again eX-
pand into a further cavity, is, of course,
matter for speculation. 1t should be re-
membered that the diamonds were not
formed where they are.
The hot liquid containing the dia-
monds was forced by some great cata.
clysm of nature through the solid earth,
the bulgings in the sides of the mines
being very soft and shay, showing
where the rock was not sufficiently hard
to resist the enormous pressure. Now
l. has been observed that in Kimberly
there must have been ten distinct up
heavals; in Dutoitspan, twenty-five; in
Bultfantein, three or four; and in Dc
Beers, three; and this has been proved
by the varying nature of the ground. II
one upheaval only had taken place, the
center OF the funnel would have con
tanned one particular kind of soil. AS
the miners go deeper great alteration
| is noticed in the character of the soil.
They have actually found pieces o.
the top reef and top soil at a depth o.
four hundred feet. This shows that il
the succeeding upheavals vacuums were
formed and the whole funnel became IL
a state of tumult, the upper layers o
oxidized earth returning to their an
cient depths to give place to the othel
carbonaceous matter, which by success
sive exposure to the atmosphere became
oxidized and assumed the yellow colo
seen so frequently in the heath and EN-
bankments of rejected debris. Long

INGRATITUDE.


A holy hermit rescued once mouse
A savage bird had seized upon for prey,
And kept the little rodent in his house,
And fed it from his table day by day.
Soon seeing how cat the mouse distressed,
And moved in pity for his pet thereat,
The saint, with power Of miracles pos
sessed
Transformed his protege into a cat.
But now the mouse OF rather cat instead,
: OF every cur was quite as much afraid,
Wherein the saint, to end the feline's dread,
Wrought new charm, and puss dog was
made.
Again his charge is filed with deep alarm,
The beasts OF prey that roam the forest

Now hear the sequel you, and heed it well;
This creature with an ingrate's heart within,
O'erheard his guardian once another tell
How he (he tiger first mouse had been.
Chagrined that any one his past should know,
! And so give honor to his human friend,
He foully purposed by sudden blow
| His saviors life to take and body rend.

The "ONpULATEUR."
A New Departure in Eair-Dressers Much
Affected by Paris Beauties.

Affected by Paris Beauties.
Paris now possesses fashionable
hair-dresser who promises to become as
famous in local folklore as any of his
predecessors who attended to the ton
serial requirements Of great people in
the past. This artist, who conducts his
operations in modest shop not far from
the opera house, has eclipsed all an
cient and modern coiffures in the super
iority of his mode of imparting crisp,
wavy or undulating friz to ladies' locks.
On this account new name will proba-
bly, have to be added to the historical
dictionary of the French Academy, for
the rising hair-dresser is called an ''on-
dulateur," the old word friseur being al
together inadequate to describe his mar
velous art in manipulating tresses.
Most of the leading stage or salon
beauties have already passed through
the deXterous hands of the 'ondula-
teur," and he has even been called into
requisition by danes of high degree in
London. His shop in Paris is daily
thronged, and rows of carriages are fire.
quently to be seen outside the door of
MS small establishment where he oper-
ates in person, being careful not to
commit the secret of his art of ''undula-
ton" to any deputy or his assistant, who
might be tempted to set up an opposition
hair-dressing saloon on the boulevards
and attract thither some of the custom
ers, who pay him large sums of money
for his services. The ''ondulateur' is
also his own cashier. and even in the
dull season he is said to reap golden
| harvests. His lowest charge for operat-
ing in his saloon is So, and tits believed
| in the season some of his fair customers
offer so much as $40 in order to be first

OHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
What "St. Nicholas" has Done for Boys and
Girls.

Victor Hugo calls this ''the woman's century,"
and he might have added that it is the children's
century as well, for never before in the worlds
history has so much thought been paid to chill
and their toys. Childhood, as we understand it,
Is a recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the 50. Nicholas
Magazine, seventeen years ago, literature and

the idea that nothing was too good for children (;
the result has been juvenile magazine genuine
with conscientious greatest latest wr

thing tuned to the keynote of youth.
1t has been the special aim of 81. Nicholas to
suppant unhealthy literature with stories of
take fascinating bad literature out of boys
hands and give them in its place Mrs. Barbauld
and Peter Farley, or the work of writers who
think that any gOOd-y" talk will do for children,
with the blood and sinew of real life in tread
ing that will waken them to closer observation
of the best things about them.
In the seventeen years OF its life 81 Nicholas
has not only elevated the children, but it has
also elevated the tone of contemporary chill
dren's literature as well. Many of its stories,
like Mrs. Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
have become classic. 1t is not too much to say

the pages of that magazine. 5..r

The Century Magazine is now so well known that
to tell of its past success seems almost an old
story. The N. Y. Tribune has said that it and its
companion, ST. Nicholas for Young Folks, issued
by the same house. 'are read by every one per-
son in thirty of the country's population, land
large editions of both are sent beyond the seas.
1t is an interesting fact that few years ago it
was found that seven thousand copies of The
Century went to Scotland,-quite respectable
edition in itself. The question in England is no
longer w no reads an american oookE" put
A few years ago The Century about doubled its
circulation with the famous War Papers, by GEN
eral Grant and others. adding many more readers

in France or any other country, extracts from
advance sheets of the famous Talleyrand Me-
moirs, which have been secretly preserved for
half a century-to be first given to the world
through the pages of an American magazine. All
Europe is eagerly awaiting the publication of
intriguers and diplomats.
