The Mexican MersIah.

Friina, facie, Ireland has not only
good claim, but really the best claim to
be the Tlapallan Of the Mexicans II is
the iiiost western part Of Europe; IL is,
insular and in,the earlier centuries of
the Christian eratwas known az the
'" Holy Island" Between A. y, 500 and
A.. D. 500 it was the most active center
OF missionary enterprise in Europe, and
its missionaries were conspicuous above
all othersfor their daring maritime ad.
ventures Il is natural, therefore, to
suspect that Ireland may have been the
home Of (luetzatcoatl, and, If that were
80, 70 expect that early Irish records
would contain some references to him
and his extraordinary voyage. .-4'
! Upon this the inquiry suggests itself,
Dothe early Irish chronicles, which are,
voluminous and minute, contain any
thing relating 70. a missionary voyage
across the Atlantic at all corresponding
to that which Quetzatcoatl must have
taken from some partof western Europe?
To one who, step by step, had arrived
at this stage Of the present Inquiry, il
was not q little startling to come across
an obscure and almost forgotten record,
which is, in oil Its main features, in
most striking conformity with the Mex
lean legend of Quetzacoatl. Thisis the
curious account Of a transatlantic voy-
age Of a certain Irish ecclesiastic named
st Brendan in the middle Of the Sixth
century-about A. b. $50 The nara
tive appears to have attracted little or
no attention in modern times. but ii was
widely diffused through the middle ages.

taste to cling to the plain kid glove,
which sh5Es this perfect shapelof the

much favor as the musquetaire. 1t Is
owing to the very long sleeves worn with
every gown, except with fun dress.
The tancolors are worn less and the
light shades more. Did you nod often
wonder where the kid skins come from
to make all the kid gloves in the world?
When l see the mountains of gloves sold
at the Louvre and the Bon Marche in

isn't way of manufacturing skins, or
if there are not kids which, like sheep
who are sheared every year, can be
skinned and have skin grow on again

HOW SEVEN FASHIONS oRIoI-
MATED.

CHARLES VII Of France had a pair of
conceal them, and so everybody else wore
long coats.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT had twist in
his neck. 1t was therefore fashionable
for everyone in that monarch's court to
carry his neck in the same way.
THE peruke is said to be due to the
misfortune of Philip, Duke Of Burgundy.
His hair fell out, and his physicians ad-
vised him to cover his head with artiti-
cial hair.
FRANCIS l. Of France was struck on
the chin with piece of tile. OF course
the wounded part could not be shaved.
Thus boards came again into fashion,
after having been out for nearly CEN
tury.
THE custom Of the Cardinals of Rome
of wearing red hats at ceremonies and
professions was introduced by Pope In
nocent w. as symbol to indicate the
blood for Jesus Christ.
DURING the reign of George Ill the
Duke of York had duel with Col. Len
nox, and the worthy Colonel succeeded
in shooting away one of the Dukes
curls. 1t at once became the correct
thing to wear curl ON one side of the
temple only.
WHEN Fox, the first of Quakers, was
sitting in church and the preacher said
anything he did not like, he moved SOL
emnly, put on his hat and kept it on un-
til the disagreeable remarks concluded.
Thus arose the Quaker custom of wear
ing hats in church.

Train smoking Arrangements.

Quite change appears to be taking
place in the general opinion as to the
best arrangement of smoking-room ac-
commodations on some classes of passen-
ger trains, and it is quite possible that
the common smoking-car will before
long cease to form part Of the better
class of trains, says an exchange. Quite
. number of railroads have constructed
their chair cars with smoking-rooms OF
sufficient capacity to provide accommo-
dations,for the occupants of each car.
The practice of thus furnishing q smok-
ing-room for each car Is rapidly extend
ing to the common day coaches, and a
number of very prominent roads are
cutting smoking compartment in near
,ly every car that they are building, some
even fitting up the second-class day
coaches in this manner.

NAMES OF BIRDS APPLIED TO
MEN.

PARROT, or parratt, as formerly
written, was the synonym for garrulity.
EVIDENCES of pride we're once met by
observers with the nickname "Pea-
cock"
THE word "Rook" was often applied
to men who were said to be @full of
guile:
THE birds name, "Pye," was used
derisively toward people who were very
pert.
Ii man, in former times, developed
snowy propensities, he was nicknamed
"Popinjay."
SUPPOSE jauntiness displayed itself in
a mans actions, he might be termed
"Cock" or "Cockerell +"
HoMELINEss and the sparrow, and
tenderness and the dove, pigeon, swan,
raven, and crow go together.
If man happened to be votary of
song his friends formerly addressed him
as Nightingale" or "Lark."
The following surnames appear in
old English records: Duck, Duckrell,
Drake, Sheldrake, Wildrake, Wildgoose,
Mallard, Duckworth, Peter le Goose,

PROVERBS ABOUT THUNDER.

IF the birds be silent, expect thunder
WITH north wind it seldom thunders.
DISTANT thunder speaks of coming
rain.
THUNDER in the north indicates cold
weather
THUNDER in the north indicates dry
weather.
Two CURRENTS in summer indicate
thunder.
THUNDER in the evening indicates
much rain.
MUCH thunder in July injuries wheat
and barley.
THUNDER in the fall indicates a mild,
open winter.
WHEN it thunders in the morning it
will rain before night.
If the clouds grow rapidly larger, ex-
pect much rain, and also thunder.
If the cattle run around and collect
together in the meadows, expect thunder.
IF there be many falling stars during
clear evening in summer, expect thun-
der.
THUNDER from the south or southeast
indicates foul weather, from the north
or northwest fair weather.
INCREASING atmospheric electricity
oxidizes ammonia in the air and forms
nitric acid, which affects milk, thus &C,
counting for the souring of milk by
thunder.
