Hungarian Costumes.

The ordinary costumes OF both sexes
at Monostorszeg is simplicity ITSELF The
women wear a high-necked, ankle long
chemise of white homespun linen, with
full sleeves gathered at the elbow and
richly embroidered, usually with blue.
Bands Of narrow embroidery decorate the
waist and the skirt also. This chemise is
girded to the body by thick wooden
bell, binding tightly to the figure the
upper edge of narrow apron OF striped
wooden homespun, very brilliant in color.
A kerchief is usually worn on the head,
and the feet are habitually bare On Sum
days and fete-days the girls exchange the
coarse garments for others of choicer tex
ture, the chemise being fine ana care-
fully pleated, and the apron OF null or
muslin delicately embroidered with white.
Tall red morocco boots, with yellow heels
and soles and curious pointed toes, adorn,
or rather disfigure, the feet, and around
the neck are hung many rows OF gaudy
glass beads arper's Magazine

STONED Just In Time.

At the Eureka mine Gligo Terzich, an
Austrian, was returning from work at the
"'76" The trail was narrow, the mount
ain side steep, and hard crust was on
the snow. Stepping outside the path,
Terzich fell and began sliding down the
frightful descent head first. The crust
was such that it was impossible for the
man to make such an impression in it as
would enable him to stop and regain his
feet.
Finally, nearly 1900 feet from the path,
he struck a pine bush, and grasping the
limbs, held himself till his companions
came to his relief. Finding Terzich's leg
broken above the knee, the companion
broke the crust on the snow, made level
place for the injured man to rest, and
went after aid. A lot OF men came to the
rescue, carried Terzich to his cabin, and
: called DR.. Kent, who set the mans leg.
The escape from death was very narrow,
as only short distance below where the
man stopped is precipice, over which he
would have gone and been killed had the
bush not stopped his descent. Plumas

The E,hie, OF the Pig.

The report Of Her Majesty's Consul at
Kiungchow contains some picturesque
remarks upon porcine ethics. The in
offensive pig, we are informed, Is pre-
eminently the rentpayer of Hainan and is
consequently reared in every house with
the tenderest solicitude. A many as 1000
sleek porkers are sometimes sent to Hong
Kong in one steamer; even the dignified
French mail boats competing for this
traffic. Il must not be supposed, writes
Consul Parker, that these pigs are ILL
treated, or that they wallow together in
Discriminatory in wild filth and disorder.
On the contrary, pig cargo is perhaps
cleaner than human cargo OF Chinese
coolies, such as in the old days OF the Macao
barracoons used also, in fact, to be called,
in the local Cantonese slang, "chu-tsai,n
or pigs"
Each pig has his poke, in the shape Of
q strong bamboo cage, in which he can
lie with comfort and In which he does
usually lie cleanly and quiet ESQ long as
he keeps his legs inside) until he is
dumped into ighter at Hong Kong. As
II is not allowed to place more than one
pig on the top OF another there is ample
breathing space allowed.-London Globe

Rats are natives Of Asia and their raids
westward belong to comparatively mod
orn times. From the fact that 1t ID mot
mentioned by any Of the early Europeans,
II is surmised that II was unknown west
OF the Ganges in ancient times.
The black rat first came from Asia to
Europe in the sixteenth century-along
with the plague-and was frst known Is
the Graveyard Spectre" because he
preyed on the flesh OF those who died
duringlthat awful visitation. He was also
known as the Plague cat" because the
common house cat had a similar habit OF
feasting on the dead.
This black rat was the common house
rat until the brown or gray rat made his
appearance in ITS. The gray rat came to
Europe from India by way Of Russia, and
is now popularity known as the Norway
rat, from amistaken tradition that 1t came
from Norway to England and from the
latter country to America.
