Gloves a Afternoon Teas.


Gloves, the browning finish Of a well
dressed woman's costume in public, have
been of late years greatly misused in
American society. One sees them worn
at tea tables by the woman elected to
represent the hostess in pouring tea, and
even at dinner tables, where the wear
ers have been known to sit through
many courses with their right hands
barred, the hand of the right glove
sucked under the wrist, and the entire
left glove kept on. From time imrnemo-
rial the habitual dinner goers OF good
society have removed both gloves imme-
diately after taking their places at the
table, and have resumed them upon re-
turning to the drawing room. or after
using the finger bowls, and before arls-
ing from the feast.
Any departure froE accepted custom
that has only eccentricity or desire for
innovation to recommend it should be
avoided; hence there seems no cause for
taking up the curious fashion just men
toned, probably set in a needless mo-
ment by some leader of vogue or by an
unfortunate woman of rank whose hand
was made unpresentable by disfiguring
iniury.-Ladies' Home Journal.

A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her cease"
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and so
burdened with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of a typewriter would relieve unfa-
vorable symptoms, and asks hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless sllbscrip-
ton book that she may gain the money
to do SO.
But always her case is directly or
indirectly the theme Of the many closely
written pages. All things past, present
and to come are related to her various
Affections. In the words of Persian
proverb, ''The sun shines that the world
may see her wounds. Youths Com

though undirected by anything like lit
erary training, always showed independ-
ence and penetration. She was a de-
voted lover of Carlyle's writings, AND
the last book she read before her death
was Mr.. Norton's volume of the CORE
spondence between Carlyle and Elmer
son. No doubt her admiration for the
great denouncer of shams was largely
due to the intense sincerity OF her own
character, which made il impossible for
her to tolerate even those slight devia-
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society,

wonderru, Insect 1lluminations.

The secretary Of the Smithsonian in
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban firefiies with
a view to discovering the manner In
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest" in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that a success
full imitation of it would prove a most
profitable substitute for gas Or electrici-
ty. The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong to the family of ''snap-
ping bugs SO called because when one
of them is laid on its back it snaps itself
into the air with a clicking sound. The
secret of the light this FREELY gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side Of the animals thorax is a
luminous membraneous spot, and these
flash at intervals, so that the Cubans put
dozen of the insects in a cage together
and obtain continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendi-
ture of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arti-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than SO

Mixed Relationship.

There is family in the southern part
of the county whose complicated rela-
tionship beats anything upon record.
The family name is Runk. A few years
ago the Runk family consisted of father
and two grown sons. In the same neigh
borhood there lived widow and her
two comedy daughters. The Oldest one
of the Runk boys married one of the
widows daughters. The young mans
father married the other daughter. The
other one of the boys married the
mother. The question that now both

MILLIONS OF MICE.-During q fine
moist summer, when grass and flowers
were abundant, mice increased to an
abundant extent in La Plata, so that
everywhere in the fields it was difficult
to avoid treading on them, while doz-
ems could be shaken out of every hol-
low thistle stalk lying on the ground.
The most incongruous animals swarm
ed to the feast which they provided.
Dogs lived almost entirely on them,
as did the domestic fowls, assuming the
habits of rapacious birds The cats all
left the houses to live in the fields. Ty-
rant birds and cuckoos seemed TO prey
on nothing else.
Foxes, weasels and opossums Jared
sumptuously and even the common ar
madillo turned mouser with great sue
cess. Storks and short-earned owls
gathered to the feast, so that fifty OF
the latter birds could often be seen at
once, and they got fat and bred in the
middle of the winter, quite out of their
proper season, in consequence.
The following winter was time OF
drouth, the grass and herbage had all
been consumed or was burnt up, and
the mice, having no shelter, soon fell a
prey to their numerous enemies ana
were almost wholly eXterminated.

How We GET OUR TEETH.-It would
take too long to describe the forma-
ton of the teeth, but it may interest
YOU to know that the enamel is derived
in the first place from the epithelium,
or scarf skin, and is, in fact, modified
skin, while the dentine, of which the
bulk of the tooth is composed, is de-
rived from the mucous layer below the
epithelium, Lime salts are slowly de-
posted, and the tooth pulp, or nerve, y
is the last remains of what was once a
pulpy mass of the shape of the future
tooth, and even the tooth pulp in the
old people sometimes gets quite obliter-
ated by the calcareous deposits. The
thirty-two permanent teeth, says the
Philadelphia Times, are preceded by
twenty temporary deciduous or milk
teeth. These are all fully erupted at
about two to two and a-half years of
age, and at about six years Of
age wonderful process of absorption
sets in, by which the roots of the tenn
porary teeth are removed TO make room
for the advancing permanent ones.
The crowns of the former, having no
support, become loose and fall away.
One would naturally suppose that the
advancing permanent tooth was a
powerful factor in the absorption of its
temporary predecessor, but there are
many facts to prove it has no influence
whatever; indeed, the interesting phe-
nomena of the eruption and succession
of teeth are very little understood. 1t
may be remarked in passing that child
ofsix who has not yet lost any temporary
teeth has in its jaws, either erupted or
non-erupted, no less than fifty-two teeth
more or less formed.

4 HEN SToRY.-How long can hen
live without food or water? Perhaps
your readers may think the above ques-
ton silly one, but thereby hangs a
tale. What we are about to relate in
answer to the above question was told
US by q gentleman whose veracity has
never been questioned and who vouches
for the truth of the following: On the
Saturday before Christmas of 1875 the
gentleman in question was moving
some hay he had hauled load and
put ii in the NOV, and while gone ior
another, one of his hens got into the
NOW and made 4 nest lie returned
with the second load and unloaded 1T
in the NOW and the hen being on the nest
hay was thrown on her. She remained
in the NOW from the Saturday before
Christmas, 1875, until the latter part OF
February or first of March, 1876, some
60 days, and when found was as light
as a handful of feathers. When first
imprisoned under the hay she was fat;
when released, skeleton. Now ifany
of your correspondents can produce
anything to equal this we would like
to hear from them. We can give the
name of the gentleman who told us if
necessary. The above we clip from the
Staunton IindicaiOr. We had a little
experience of the same kind in our
farming operations last winter. We
moved our hay just after harvest, as
we usually do in this section, and Gov
cred up one of our finest Plymouth
Rock hens, which had made her nest
in the NOW. When feeding the hay the
following February we found the hen,
or bunch of feathers rather. The
time of Imprisonment was longer than
the above and the waste considerably
greater Winchester Ne,cS.
