White Dresses No Longer Worn.

Speaking retrospectively," said a
fashionable widow, "when I was a girl
in society the white dress was consid-
cred one Of the sweetest things a young
lady could wear. Now one never sees
them except at a commencement or a
wedding. Prints, prints, prints! Even
the sweet girl graduate in a white dress
is a rarity. AS for Broadway, the sight
of a white dress on anybody but an in:
FAINT is a thing Of general feminine com.
ment.
81 know it is rather daring to venture
an opinion in this era of colors, but !
think now that a young and pretty
woman in pure white is the loveliest
vision in the world Of beauty. She need
not be SO very young, either, if reason
ably pretty. I've seen women who could
be called without offense neither young
nor pretty who looked better in white
than anything they could have put on
And what man Of forty upward, pray,
will not agree with her?
The man with a ~handpainted mus,
tache Or beard went out with the white
dress.-New York Herald.

Famous Horses of the Greeks,

The Greeks were genuine lovers of
horses. 1t was claimed that Posideon
struck the earth and produced the horse
"a poetic way Of saying that horses
were first imported into Greece from be-
yond the sea. Homer's favorite appella-
ton for the Greek heroes is "tamer of
horses" And almost every page Of the
Had shows that Homer's admiration for
the Chieftains is almost matched by his
enthusiasm fer the firm footed coursers,
the fiery steeds, the horses famed in war
No common animals were these Of the
Greeks and Trojans.
The horses of Kneas were of the stock
which Zeus the t%hunderer gave to Tros.
The horses Of Rheus were as glorious as
the sun; the snow was not SO white, the
wind not so swift as they. The horses
Of DrOmed seemed to be in the air as
they flew along, but of all the horses
that proudly distinguished themselves
in that famous war, the wooden horse
took the lead for efficiency. 1t was the
wooden horse that gave Troy to the
Greeks.-Caroline K. Sherman in Chi
cago Herald.

The English Theater as n Chinese Sees 1t.

The English Theater as a Chinese Sees 1t.
When an actor first appears ON the
stage he must remove his cap and in
cline himself toward the seated audience
as a mark of courtesy. The audience
then drum upon their hands to signify
their approval. An actor who has gone
off the stage must appear again, and by
bowling toward the audience express his
thanks. .
Their plays, like ours, are divided into
"civil' and ''military"; the civil plays
consist either of music solely-when the
sound is of a boo-hoo-or solely of
mimicry. The majority are taken from
the history Of the country. The cenery
is marvellous. When one scene is finished
the curtain is dropped and the scenery
changed. Below the stage music is played
during the interludes. In the case of
these old romances several scenes are
brought together to form a play, and if
this play is acted today it will be acted
again tomorrow, SO as to give every one
an opportunity Of seeing it.
When no visitors come to see, a n
other play is substituted, Or the troupe
emoves to another theater. Military
plays are those in which acrobats are
engaged; the theaters in this case are
somewhat larger and are known as
"camps" (circuses).-Temple Bar.

HEARD m HEAVEN.

I paced the platform-body and MIND and brain
Dulled by the deadly ~cold-what time the train,
Too tardy, came not.
Twas q darkening noon
In bleak December. Low i the east red Mars
Rose large and lurid; and a slender moon
Lay, like a finger, On the lip of Night,
Commanding silence.
Meath the silent stars
Perched on a bench, with wistful face and
white,
With limbs a-tremble, bare legs red and raw,
And hands blue nipt) a tiny child / saw,
Who, thinly clad, sat blithe and brave and
bright,
Grooming some baby lay.
What song she sang,
That little maid, the while her wee voice rang
So shy and low
Whether some childish chime,
Olden and quaint,
OF fairy and fay; a snatch of nursery rhyme,
Or hymn, or prayer-I knew not, nor shall
know;
But long ago
One spake this word:
mo sparrow falls, its dying CRY unheard,
Though feeble and faint;'
And l am sure-that he who hears the bird
Heard hat sweet plant.

Wherein Bananas Surpass Wheat.

The banana belongs to the lily family,
and is a developed tropical lily, from
which by ages of cultivation the seeds
have been eliminated and the frnit for
which it was cultivated greatly expand
ed. In relation to the bearing qualities
of this fruit Humboldt, who early saw
the wonders of the plant, said that the
ground hat would grow ninety-nine
pounds of potatoes would also grow
thirty-three pounds Of wheat, but that
the same ground would grow 1900
pounds of bananas, consequently to that
of wheat is 1873 to 1 and to that of pota-
toes A to l..
The banana possesses all of the essen.
tials to the sustenance Of life. The savage
of the sea isles and the jungle owes what
he has of physical strength to this food.
Wheat alone, potatoes alone, will not
do this. When taken as a steady diet it
is cooked-baked dry in the green state,

Few Murderers Renent.

There is a popular notion to the effect
that a murderer is necessarily pursued
by the furies Of regret and repentance
but the truth seems TO be that such feel
ings are rarely entertained by the offend
er. Surgeon Bruce Thomson, of the gen.
eral prison of Scotland, says that of the
500 murderers ne has known only three
could be ascertained to have exhibited
any remorseful symptoms. The true
criminal is unrestrained by moral per-
ception from crime and the same lack of
eensibiaty forbids contrition.-Washing-

Clothes That Royalties Wear.

What funny people royalties are! If
were to visit a Persian in his home it
would never occur to me to put on a
flowing robe and a sheepskin hat and to
expect the Persian to receive me in Euro
pean garb. But royalties never seem
able to meet without exchanging clothes.
For instance, when the emperor arrived
at Port Victoria his majesty made his
appearance in the garb of an English adj
miral, and the Princeo of Wales responded
to this delicate attention by donning the
dress of a Butcher hussar, while his
brothers and son masqueraded as German
hussars and Uhlans.-London Truth.

Smiles Better Than seepksex

1t was Just 1T the heginning of the
busy hour in the evening and the car
was crowded People were packed like
herrings inside and on the platform there
was the usual crush and struggle for
tour square inches of space. 1t was just
at the beginnjrg of a rain and the grip
man had no waterproof along. Tt
seemed that at every second door some
one had to get on. The car was con-
stantly stopping. It wa filled to the
Last limit long ago, but still people were
waving their arms from the pavement
n ciambering up and in some way.
Nobody knows how many persons can
get into a Chicago street car. At one
corner three women with babies in their
arms stopped the car and got in.
The gripman swore a little at them.
At the next a man looked at the
clouds, signaled the gripman and got in
out of the wet. The rain began to come
down a little more decisively. The grip
man started up and threw the lever fan
forward. He wanted to shoot straight
to the stables without stopping. There
was another man. The car had not run
forty feet.
The gripman swore very roundly as
he loosed the lever and pulled back on
the brake.
Then he started, Dent the talons of the
grip about the cable and plunged ahead
again. There was another woman The
car had run just half a block. The pas
sengers looked up as they saw the a
ing arms of the waiter. They expected
to hear a very volley Of oaths at this
second stop. The gripman's face was a
study. First it was black as night. Then
he looked closely at the oma He
hated her and wanted to blast her with
a frown. Then his brow softened. A
twinkle came into his eyes. His lips
parted and his great wooden face broke
into a kindly laugh.
What had she done? Who was she:
Did he know her? Nothing-nothing at
all. He knew nothing about her. She
was only a handsome girl, and she
laughed a caress right into his lips as
he frowned at her. Smiles are better
than scepters any day.-Chicago Herald.

The Pitcher Plant.

Among the queer PLANS which we re-
ceive from the tropical climates one of the
most curious is the pitcher plant, and what
is more interesting to know is that it has
been found out that it can be grown in a
basket on our window sills, and, of course,
in our Conservatives without any more
trouble than geraniumS or other window
flowers. The leaves spring out from the
stem, bending outward and downward, the
point growing into a long, thin string,
from the end Of which the pitcher grows
upright. The pitcher has no handle, but
it has a hinged lid which remains open all
day and shuts at night, and what is re-
markable, though rain. may not fall for
many days, some water is always found in
this natural jug. The sides are generally
beautifully colOred, and when the plant is
fully grown it forms a handsome drawing
room plant. The flowers come out at the
top of the stem, but are such funny, rusty
looking things that they are scarcely like
flowers at all; but they give such guam
tity of seed that here in the United States
most florists have imported sufficient sup
plies to enable their customers far and
wide to have pitcher plant in their win

The Comparative Number of BaciIIi in TIA

The Comparative Number of BacilIi in the
Air at Different Times of Day.
A foreign physician is reported in Popu-
ar Science News as having recently in
Sstigated the comparative number Of
DaciIli ia the air at different times of day.
His experiments, conducted in the observa-
tory of Aoncalieri, were carried out by
means of small rubber balloons filled with
hydrogen. On to these balloons he fastened
small box holding prepared glass slides,
which box he was able to open By means
of n cord after the balloon had reached the
desired height. Microscopical examination
Of the slides showed that in the early hours
of the day the swarms of bacteria were
close 10 the ground and in large numbers;
later, at about o'clock in the morning,
until about 3 in the afternoon, they would
rise until they reached a considerable
height, and from that time would gradu-
ally sink to the ground. The number of
bacsli in the air was almost exactly in pro-
portion to the rise in temperature, while
in direct opposition to the amount of hui
Nudity in the atmosphere. 1t is evident,
therefore, that the condensation of the
watery vapors in the air causes the falling
of the bacilli and for this reason the morn
ing and evening hours are the most danger

Music as a ETedicine.


A correspondent of The Lancet tells the
following story apropos Of a suggestion as
to the use OF music as medical treatment.
Five years ago | had an opportunity of
trying the effect of dreamy music upon a
lady Of great intellectual power, who re-
tanned, too, her faculties at the ripe age of
eighty-siX. About seven minutes were oc-
cupied by the music, and before its last
notes were heard my revered friend, the
ViscOuntess COmbermere, had closed her
eyes and was mapping.
The story reminds The Hospital of an
other one which rams as follows: A certain
country laird was taken i'll with some af-
lection which produced marked sleepless-
ness. All sorts Of remedies for the insomnia
were tried, but tried in vain. The laird had
a son vino was what is called in Scotland
daft" that is, he was somewhat weak in
the upper story. When the other members
Of the laird's family were in a state border
ing on distraction, the lad, whom nobody
thought OF taking into consultation, sud
denly burst out with, "Feyther aye sleeps
i the kirk" The suggestion Of getting a
minister to preach TO the sleeDless man was
acted upon Immediately and with the best
results. Hardly had the reverend divine
got well into the second head of his dis.
course before the patient was sound asleep
and snoring like the drone Of a bagpipe
The peculiar monotony of the preachers
voice had acted as an Irresistible soporifc
1t is a common experience that the mOnOt-
onOus reading of book, or the measured
cadences of quiet singing, is often of great
value in the soothing of the nervous sys-
TEN. 1t might be well if nurses were
taught to chant a little, and were to learn
suitable music for the bedside Young
ladies, too, and even matrons, would be all
the better if, in the course of their ordinary
education, they had a little instruction in
music of a sleep inducing kind. There is
manifestly field for the musical composer
also, as well as for the nurse and the young
