CAMEL'S-HAlR ShAWlS.

They Cost What Would Be to Many Wom
en- Small Fortune.
| Cameps-hair shawls are always dc.

as being little above the average
woman, financially. A fine valley cash.
mere shawl costs what would be tc
many women a fortune. Now let US see
what the outside garments for wintc,
wear will usually cost the fashionable
woman, and will give tho prices from
the wardrobe of an acquaintance who
considers the outlay moderate. The
| shawl cost $3.50; tho sealskin raglan.
$500; the Russian sable cape and muf,
$3.50; plush embroidered cloak, Sls5.
This amounts to $l,2s5. This has moth
ing to do with the magnificent summer
wraps she has, or the gorgeous evening
cloak she has recently purchased.
Most ladies sigh for a camel's-hair
shawl, and sometimes a marvellous bar
gain is found in one of these, if the lady
is not very particular as to the color be-
ing up to the very tip of the latest
make. A friend recently asked me to
keep my eyes open" when was max
ing my visits among the stores, and see
IT l could find a nice shawl for
little money. was an entire
year hunting such a bargain once
before, but this time 1 found
it upon the first inquiry. It measures
2]9 yards square. The color is dark, vet
showing a little of old-rose and blue
tints, very dark; but there they are, and
high art critic would say it was old
style, so the merchants must lose on the
shawl or carry it along until fashion
DEGREES these tints to be reinstated.
The original price of the shawl was
$3.50, and considered very great bar
gain at that. and it is firm, soft, vet
closely woven, and hangs gracefully
about the shoulders. The price is now
$3.50. The shawl was opened and placed
beside one of the latest importations of
the same size, the price OF which is $500.
There seems very little difference in the
quality, the wide border of the first be-
ing handsomer than the same OF the
last named. The $500 shawl in the
newest colors is so very dark that one
must sit down and take time to find the
design, and then cultivate taste for it.
The shawl of the last season is also
dark, quite dark enough to please most
ladies, but the colors and designs are
more readily grasped and the shawl
fascinatcs one sooner. 1t is very hand
some and great bargain; will wear as
we'll and look as beautiful to the masses
as the one that cost $3.50. The finer
the shawl the more expensive, and one
can educate herself so as to sit for
hours constantly finding new beauties,

AUSTRALIAN DOG MEN.
Human Beings That Scent Game with the
keenness of CANNES.

Human Beings That Scent Game with the
keenness of CANNES.
In the far north of the great island
continent of Australia, there are GER.
tain tribes of natives, ferocious savages
in their natural state, but easily tanned
by kindness, who have wonderful
power of sight and smell, by which they
are enabled to procure their food in a
trackless wilderness where otherwise
they would always be in danger of starv-
ing to death.
They are trained from childhood to
notice all natural objects, not as we Or
dinarily notice them, just glancing
around US and taking in the general
effect, but so closely and carefully that
not the slightest thing escapes their OBJ
servation.
These people in Australia might be
called "All Eyes and Nose," for they
never 60 anywhere without seeing and
smelling every thing that is to be seen
and smelt. They are the only human
beings ever met with who use their
scent as we'll as their sight, as animals
do, for finding their way, pursuing or
escaping from their enemies, or picking
up their living.
If particular bird sits on a particular
tree they can tell why it does SO and,
by using their eyes and nose, they often
get the food which the bird expected to
get. If snake has passed over the
ground they can see where the tiny
MOSES and leaves were pressed down or
turned aside in its zigzag path, and
when it has crossed some place where
there is nothing but hard earth they can
still follow it by the smell it has left
and track it to its hole and entice it out
and catch it with q forked stick SO that
it can not bito them.
The kangaroo is one of the hardest of
all animals to hunt by scent, because it
leaps twenty or thirty feet at bound.
and only touches the ground for mo-
ment with its horny hind feet before it
leaps again. The keenest of dogs are
sometimes thrown off the trail by this
eccentric mode of progression. But not
the natives.
IT they can not see the marks where
the kangaroo came down they can smell
the place; and if they can not smell it.
because they are too far to the right or
to the left, or too far ahead, or not far
enough, q quick, sharp glance to either
side, in front and behind, soon sets
them right again. One sense or the
other is sure to be available; and in
many instances the two work together
admirably, just as champion ball
players eyes and hands work together

THE SCIENCE OF DIET.

Rules Which Every One Ought to Know
and BE Willing to Heed.
Many diseases are due solely to dis.
regard of established rules relating to
eatables and eating, rules which every
one ought to know, and be willing to
heed.
Govt is caused by rich foods and slim
ulating drinks; dyspepsia usually by eat.
ing unwholesome food at unseasona BILE
hours, and diseases of the liver and
bowels result from the same cause.
Apoplexy is produced by drinking too
much wine. In bordeaux, France,
more wine is drunk, and greater pro.
portion of the people die of apoplexy,
than in any other city in the world.
Eat slowly, and masticate your food
thoroughly. Mr.. Gladstone, it is said,
gives thirty-two bites to each piece OF
meat that he puts into his mouth. This
is good rule to follow.
by swallowing your food without
chewing It, you cheat your palate as
we'll as your body. You fail to prepare
the meat for the action Of the gastric
juice, and you do not permit the sail.
vary juices to mix with the starchy
foods, to prepare them for further elab.
grafton and assimilation.
Never eat when very tired, or when
worried or excited, aad never work i'm.
mediately after meal. Exhaustion
and worry preclude normal appetite
and prevent Digestion, as does labo,
too soon after eating. Rest for twenty
or thirty minutes after meals.
DO not overload the stomach; it il
best always to leave the table with the
feeling that you could eat little more
The proper quantity of food eaten al
each meal will strengthen the stomach
by eating too much, you distend and
weaken it.
Do not wash down each morsel of food
with swallow of water; drink what
you wish at the conclusion of the meal
and not while it is in progress.
Milk should not be drunk in copious
draughts, but in sips, so that it will
coagulate in small Jumps or flakes, and
thus be more easily digested. 1t is best
eaten with spoon in the form Of bread
and milk.
Remember that meat broths contain
little or no nutritive properties; they
are simply mild stimulants. With the
addition of vegetables, bread, or boiled
rice, however, they become valuable
foods.
During the spring months, after living
all winter on meats and stale vegetables,
the system needs a radical change of
diet. At this season one should eat
fresh fruits and succulent vegetables
Tor their effect on the liver, the bowels
and the blood. Oranges, cherries, rhu.
barb lettuce, radishes, green's of various
kinds including dandelions, are all val
liable:
Good health is worth cultivating, even
at the expense Of little time and q
measure of self-restraint. men would
set watch upon their lips, they would
less often have to send for the doctcr.-

There Is another outlook. Much of life

ure life from hor standpoint. So far
even the woman character in fiction il
what men fancy she is or ought to be.
her life, her emotions. her desires, her
joys and sorrows, her hopes and foars,
her opinions and ambitions, have
the color and basis of thought
which Is strictly masculine in con-
ception and execution. That was
all we'll enough perhaps before
woman was educated, before freedom
to act and think for herself was &C.
corded her; but to-day it is hollow, false
and unreal. Every thing is changed.
Women are beginning to look out upon
the world with their own eyes. They
are examining facts and theories.
There will. no doubt, be thoughts put
In books-in literature-that have never
been put there before. Some of the old
things will be told from side usually
we'll concealed or possibly never
dreamed Of; but If literature is q DOR
traiture Of lite, has not the half Of life
as viewed from beneath pretty bon
net, as good right to frank and un-
terrified hearing as the half that looks
from under silk hat? Is it not as i'm
portant to true literature? Is it pos
sible to build any thing worthy the
name without it? 1t can not be denied
that the canons of literature have, so
far, been laid down on strictly mas
culine lines. I do not forget that since
women became readers of books the
forms Of expression have changed to be
lift reading for the family" and that
since they became writer's there
have been other notifications on
the surface; but the basis of its morals,
Its standard of action and its motive,
have remained masculine in conception
and requirement.. What shall and what
shall not be discussed, therefore; how
the topics may be handled and for what
purposes, have been established-as
have tho laws of marriage and divorce
without having first consulted both of
the interested parties to discover if the
arrangement was as satisfactory from
the one side as from tho other. This is
somewhat lop-sided way of making
contract or building literature, it must
be confessed, and if women are showing
disposition to go behind the returns it
can hardly be looked upon as strange
nor as wholly vicious. Abraham Lin
coin said: mo man is good enough to
govern another man without that other
mans consent" And it can as truly be
said that no body of men is good or wise
enough to build what should be digni-
fled as the literature of race, so long
as but one-half of that race has ever ex-
pressed itself freely and openly in that
iterature.-H. Fl. Gardener, in Arena.
