A MANS NECkTiE.
Hints for Wives to Follow in the Selection
of This Important Article.

4
of This Important Article.
Many man who will trust his
wife with the disposition of half
his kingdom, won't let her select a
necktie for him Aud with reason.
A woman is altogether too likely to
pick out what men call a ''pretty
necktie." 1t is wont to be of a
delicate tint, pale gray or white
with little flower sprigs in it-some-
thing lady-like and dainty, but COM
porting i'll with the solidity and SOL
emnity of masculine attire. Now, a
man hates pretty necktie, and
when he wears one uncomplainingly
it is certain test of his affection.
A figured necktie suits a man
usually, if the background is of a
solid color, with small conven-
tional pattern in contrasting color.
Most men have special liking for
dark blue four-in-hands, with tiny
figures of dark red or brown, or
blue. For some occult reason few
men can be persuaded to try any of
the dull bronzes and olive green's,
and so few of them are found in the
shops. The dull grays, with figures
of lighter tone, or vice versa, men
find suitable for occasions between
ordinary dress and evening dress.
But for business wear they prefer
solid dark colors or small irregular
figure on dark ground. Set pat
terms are not dear to the average
mans heart, except in the white
Grape ties worn in summer; fine
tracery, with here and there a
decided dash, is what he feels safest
in wearing.
For the wash necties worn in sum-
mer these rules are reversed. There
the daintiest colors prevail, and a
man is likely to feel justified in
availing himself of them in warm
weather. The pale pink or dull blue
or tans, with white stripes in four
finland shape, few men, except
those past middle life, decline to
wear, especially when the stuff is
substantial, like the Bedford cords
and figures.
For evening wear but two styles
are permitted to a man, either a
narrow white lawn tie--not white
satin one-or narrow black silk or
satin one. From this there is no
departure. No woman, therefore,
can offer greater affront to the
man she loves, if he be man of
taste, than to present him with a
white satin evening tie, on the
feminine ground that satin is nicer
than lawn.-New York Advertiser.

The recent death of Cardinal
Howard makes the third cardinal
who has passed away within three
years. He was not marked for his
illustrious gifts and service, as New
man and Manning; but his career as
a man gives us striking contrasts.
Among early friends he was known
as "the gay young Life Guartlsman,
who was chosen for his good looks
and fine physique to lead the pro-
cession at Wellington's funeral. {"
But, though in his younger days he
looked every inch a soldier, he soon
east off his regimentals, and entered
the Church of Rome. By successive
promotions he at last received the
cardinals hat, and performed his
duties faithfully and well. Christian

A CURIOUS PARADOX.
why . Pcund % Feathers 10 Heavier
Than . Pound Of Lead.

why . Pcund eS Feathers 10 Heavier
Than . Pound Of Lead.
Which is the heavier, q pound OF
feathers or a pound Of lead? This was
o favorite question with school commit.
tee men" Of the olden time, and the first
rash answer used almost always to be,
"a pound Of lead!r Then from the
older pupils would come the reply
"Both alike" II this question were
asked to-day, our old-time querist might
receive . decided surprise. For the
pound Of feathers could easily be proved
to be the heavier. A simple experiment
Is ell the evidence needed.
With any accurate scales weigh out .
pound Of lead, using ordinary shot for
convenience. Pour the shot into one Of
the pans Of balance.
For the feathers light muslin bag will
be needed, and care must be taken that
feathers and bag do not weigh more than
pound. When the bag Of feathers 10
put into the other pan Of the balance the
beam will, after few oscillations, come
to rest exactly level
So far the verdict, "Both alike, seems
to be proved. But place the balaucs
upon the receiver OF an air pump, with
lead aud feathers undisturbed. Cover
the whole with the glass bell jar and sx.
haust the air. Slowly the feathers sink,
and the lead "kicks the BEAM" The
pound Of feathers Il heavier than the
pound Of lead!
The truth is that what we called .
pound" was not such in fact. For the
atmosphere buoys up everything within
1t in proportion to the bulk Of the object,
and the feathers, being Of greater bulk
than the lead, are supported by the air to
. considerably greater extent than the
lead. Removed from this supporting
medium, their true weight is made evil
dent.
Charles Reade propounds similar
question. In one of his novels Jewish
trader is made to ask: (which is the
heavier pound Of feathers or a pound
Of gold?" After awhile he explains, to
the satisfaction Of his audience OF mi
ners, that the feathers are the heavier.
Gold, he says, is weighed by Troy
weight, while feathers are weighed by
avoirdupois; and A. the twelve ounces in
q pound Troy contain but 5,760 grains,
while the avoirdupois pound contains
1000 grains, the pound Of feathers is, Of
course, 1,24o grains heavier than the
pound Of gold.-Youth's Companion.

An Ant Funeral.

Some OF our readers may think that
the following description has romantic
sound, but it is extracted from the Pro.
csedings of the Linnean Society, having
been communicated to that learned body
BY an observer in Australia. The writer
saw large number Of ants surrounding
those that he had killed, and determined
to watch their proceedings closely. Ac.
cordingly he followed four or five that
started of from the rest toward hillock
. short distance OF, in which was an
ants nest. This they entered. and in
about Ave minutes they reappsared, fol.
lowed by others. All fell into rank,
walking regularly land slowly, two BY
two until they arrived at the spot where
lay the dead bodies OF the soldier ants.
In . few minutes two of the ants I'd.
vancsd and took up the body Of one Of
their comrades; then two others, and 70
on, until all were ready to march. First
walked two ants bearing a body, then
two without . burden; then two others
another dead ant, and 80 on, until the
line was extended to about forty pairs,
and the procession now moved slowly
onward. followed by an irregular body
OF about 200 ants. Occasionally the two
laden ants stopped, and laying down the
dead body, it was taken up BY the two
walking unburdened behind them, and
thus. by occasionally relieving each
other, they arrived at sandy spot near
the sea- The body Of ants now COM

fell to and filled up the graves. This did
not quite hnish the remarkable circum-
stances attending this insect funeral.
Some six or seven Of the ants had at
tempted to run of without performing
their share Of the task Of digging; these
were caught and brought back. whom
