A New Use for Ola Pianos.

There came into my possession,
many years ago, q very old-fashioned
upright piano. We found a place for
it in my study, more for the beauty
and quaintness OF the case, which was
OF rosewood, and OF the usual excel
lent workmanship, than from any
hope OF deriving comfort from any
sweet music the mellow worries might
produce. 1t was old, and it's time
and power for discoursing sweet
music were past and gone; try as we
would, by a new string here and
another there, it refused to send out
any but shrill and d%iscordant notes,
and in despair we locked it up. And
SO it might havestood for many wears
to come, pleasant to look upon, but
utterly useless, had it not been that q
good many books were scattered
about the house and demanded q case

Recipe for Beauty.

A pretty woman must first of all
have clearly cut, regular features. She
must have full, clear eyes. She must
have q skin that is above reproach,
untouched by rouge and powder. She
must have glossy hair that has never
known the touch OF bleach or dye.
She must have q white, expressive
hand, preferably q small one, but not
of necessity, if it is we'll kept and
white. She must know how to put
on her clothes, or she loses half her
beauty. She must fully understand
what best suits her in the way OF hair
dressing, and cling close to that. A
woman may have all these attrac-
tions, and unless her own personality
is charming, unless she has tact, it
dawns on you, ate. you have seen
her once or twice, that she is not q
pretty woman. The most fascinating
women to hen usually have less than
half these regulation charms.

Seven Probabilities of Human Ami.
hilation.
Fol the benefit of those nervous
about it the following seven plans are
suggested for the final winding up O,
business on this terrestrial ball:
1. The surface OF the earth is stead.
iii'y diminishing; all the landed portion
will at last be submerged and the last
man will be drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accumulat.
ing at the north pole and slowly melt
ing at the south; eventually the
earth's center OF gravity will change,
and the last man will be killed by the
rush OF movables when the catastro-
phe finally comes.
3. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing Il gradual loss of veloc-
ity in all the planets. The earth,
obeying this law ofgravitation, will be
drawn nearer and nearer the sun, un-
til at last humanity will be roasted
from the face OF the globe.
4. The amount OF water on the
earth's surface is slowly drying up.
Finally the earth will be an arid waste
like the moon, and the last mar will
die pleading for a drop ofmoisterw with
which to wet his tongue.
$. A gigantic planet is likely to
tumble into the SUI at any time. In
that event u great luminary would
brace up and burn the earth and the
other planets in its train to cinders.
s. With the beginningo of the year 3D.
600 A. d. the human family will com
mence to re~trogradc, and within L.
600 1000 years from that date man
will not be higher in the scale OF ma
ture than the plant louise Of to-day.
In this case there will be no "last
man."
Z. The suns fires will gradually
burn out and the temperature will
cool in consequence. The earth's glac-
cial zones will enlarge, driving SILVER
ing humanity towards the equator.
At last the habitable space will lessen
to nothing and overcrowdedh Humanity
will be frozen in a heap.
1t looks as though the "last man"
was bound to be left in a very unenvi.
able p~redicament. Who will it be?
