Child and Caterpillar,

1t is pretty illustration of the eternal
feminine to see little Herzchen, two
years old, over a caterpillar. The child
when she sees the caterpillar on the
walk straightens back her skirts with
her two hands. moves backward quick
ly a couple of steps and screams at the
top of her voice. Nobody pays any at
teption to the scream, as it is recognized
as her peculiar way Of announcing that
she has discovered "yurm."
Having uttered this scream, Herzchen
advances step, puts her hands on her
knees, and looks down earnestly at the
caterpillar Then she screams again.
Then she bends over closer TO the crawl
ing creature. Her eyes have perceived
beauty in it. She suddenly reaches
forward, picks it up, holds it on the
palm of one hand, and studies curiously
the row of bright blue spots down each
of its sides and the golden yellow streak
along its back.
Beyond all doubt these caterpillars,
when fully grown, are beautifully robed
creatures. Herzchen brings the worm
nearer and nearer to her eyes, till it al
most touches her face, gloating over it
with a sort of curious fascination. Then
she laysi it carefully down on the ground,
looks at it an instant longer, utters an
other scream, piercing, bloodcurdling,
and runs away.-Boston Transcript.

Headaches.

We are often asked for cure for head
ache. a certain wise physician classes
headaches among the ailments which
have baffled his profession. At medi-
cal meeting a member said; did any of
you ever cure headache? never did"
Several doctors having mentioned their
treatment, he replied: "Oh, you only re-
lieved it. can do that. But have you
ever cured it!"
No one could answer yes. The shops
contain nostrums enough, but did any
one ever find himself more than tenn
porarily relieved by them:
Nature, unaided, sometimes effects a
permanent cure by the changes which
the system undergoes in the process of
time. Persons who have been subject to
headache are often more or less fully re-
lieved after about the age Of fifty. This
is perhaps a result of the shrinkage of
the brain and the hardening of the
tissues. which begins at about that period.
Changes in ones condition or habits, or
In climate. may sometimes effect cure
by removing the disturbing cause

Bachelor Life In Singapore.

Many Of the white men in Singapore
keep bachelor quarters, and one descrip-
ton of bachelors bungalow will suf
flee for all. Two young Englishmen have
one story rambling house among some
cocoanut palms, covering alot of ground
and open on every side. Enter in and sit.
Leave your pith helmet at the door, and
one of the bachelors says: Now,
wouldn't you take gin fzz? It's very
nice" And before the visitor can answer
he calls ont, Boy when from some I'M
foreseen screen or crack China boy ap-
pears and gets the order.
In few moments he returns with a
long glass filled with "gin fzz" and
powdered ice, and then the host goes on
and asks the guest to take champagne
and port and sherry and cognac and a
julep. and-l can't go on. There were
more, but really forget the names.
This is hospitality in the orient. There
are sixteen servants for these two white
boys, and such attendance and obse-
quiousness spoils them, let alone the
question of running their stonachs by so
many liquor concoctions. - Toronto

An Introduction to Samuel Rogers.

On certain day we went to call at
Mrs. Procter's with our father. We
found an old man standing in the middle
of the room, taking leave of his hostess,
nodding his head--he was a little like a
Chinese mandarin with an ivory face.
His expression never changed, but seemed
quite fixed. He knew my father and
spoke to him and to us, too, still in this
odd, fixed way. Then he looked at my
sister. my little girl" he said to her,
twill you come and live with me? You
shall be as happy as the day is long, you
shall have white pony to ride and feed
upon red currant jelly" This prospect
was so alarming and unexpected that the
poor little girl suddenly blushed up and
burst into tears. The old man was Mr..
Samuel Rogers, but happily he did not
see her cry, for he was already on his
way to the door. Mrs. Richie in Mac
millan's Magazine.

Widowed Domestica.

The mania for getting married which
besets so many domestic servants often
results in their finding themselves either
widowed or deserted in the course of a
few years, with a number Of young chill
dren to provide for. They are generally
both able and willing to return to domes-
tic service, but that way of earuing liv-
ing is barred to them by the ne,essity of
looking after their cumbrances at
home. Knowing OF many such cases, q
benevolent gentleman down in Lanca-
shire proposes the establishment of homes
which would take care of the children,
the mothers contributing toward their
support in proportion to their own earn
ings
The author Of this scheme of relief be-
lieves that it would be gratefully ac-
cepted by the mothers as most well
come change from the unceasing cares
which now make up their daily lives
At the same time it would benefit so
city by increasing the supply Of women
servants, a want which becomes more
pressing every year. AS further help
toward that object it is proposed that all
the girls admitted into the homes should
be specially trained for domestic service
in its several departments. This would
enable them to go out into the world at
a comparatively early age, and to help
their mothers instead Of taxing their
scanty resources.
The main difficulty of realizing the
scheme, which certainly has taking
look, is in raising the funds. In the ma
ture Of things the homes would not be
wholly self supporting, even if the ex-
penses were cut down in all possible
ways. 1t would be necessary, therefore,
to supplement the income derived from
the mothers contributions by subscrip-
tons collected from the charitable pub
lie, and one hesitates to advocate another
appeal to that necessarily solicited quar-
ter.-London Globe.

Doctors Differ About GRAY Hair.

Some authorities seem to regard the
CRAVING Of the hair as a mechanical aud
incidental phenomena due 10 defective
functions, and others regard it as an or
ganic or chemical process. The location
and character of the coloring substance
in the hair is also question about which
authorities differ greatly. Watts Die
tionary of Chemistry" also DR.. Bichat
and DR.. Draper, have advanced the view
that the color is in the central portion of
the hair, while no less an authority
than Cuvier asserts quite the reverse,
that the peripheral portion contains the
color Other authorities. rs Drs. Car
penter, Todd and Bowman, state that the
pigmentary granules are sometimes in
one part and sometimes in another of
the hair shaft, while "Kolliker supposes
that the dark pigment of the medulla
are nothing more than the globules of
air in the air cells. "-Hyland g. Kirk in
