A Queer Place for a Fish.

Travellers in Central Africa during the
hot season often follow the dry beds of
rivers and creeks for miles to obviate tn
necessity of cutting their way through
tIe heavy jungles which every where
abound Africa well known to be the
native land of m my extraordinary things
animate as well as Illuminate This be-
ing the case, the first explorers paid no
teatiGn to the thousands of balls of
hardened mud which were strewn about
in all Elo4usion in the beds OF these dried
up streams. One day, however, when a
detachment of the CareOn eXpedi ZION
We're exploring what in the wet season
, would have been tributary Of the Nile
a woodman cracked one of the balls and
was surprised beyond measure to see a
live fish tumble out of the centre of the
ball and fall gaping and Laundering in
the sand. This curious discovery led the
| explorers to make an investigation,
wAereupon every ball of hardened earth,
whether large or small was found to
contain an odd-shaped specimen of the
tinny tribe, These spherical mud
"houses, which, on account of the like
ness to the earthen cases fabricated by
many species of caterpillars and othe I
insects and worms, have been called SEQ
coons," are perforated by many small
holes and lined with mucous from the
fish's body, the mucous keeping the dri-
ed ball damp upon the inside, the holes
being used for breathing purposes.
For want Of more euphonious name
this queer species of piscus has been
dubbed "mudhsh," which is expressive
of the tish's curious habits if not mus
ical and high-sounding cognomen.

The Bayeux Tapestry.

Tapestry was brought into general use
in western Europe, with many other
elegancies of life, by the Moors Of Spain
The Oldest known specimen is the BayeuS
tapestry, an epic in embroidery, careful
ly treasured for centuries in the cathe
dral of Bayeux. and now preserved in
the hotel de vile of that place. Miss
Strickland says of this piece of work:
at is beyond all competition the
most wonderful achievement in the gen
tie craft of needlework that ever was
executed by fair and royal hands"
1t was done by Matilda of Flanders
wife of William the Conqueror, and the
ladies of her court. 1t is coarse linen
cloth, PA feet long and 20 inches wide,
on which is worked in wooden thread OF
various colors a representation of the
invasion and conquest of England by the
Normans.
1t contains the figures of about 625
men, 300 horses, tifty-fve dogs, forty
ships and boats, besides quantity of
quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles
and churches, all executed in the proper
colors, with names and inscriptions over
them to elucidate the story. 1t is a
valuable historic document, as it gives a
correct and minute portraiture of the
Norman costumes and their manners
and customs.-W oman's Work.

The Composition of Tears.

No subject has yielded more poetry than
that OF tears. Adlectives the most various
have been used to express the qualities OF
tears They have been called "hot,"
"cold," "langaid," "briny," gushing"
round" "glitteriag," dull" silent"
"wearied," ''wanton," and | keDv not
what else They are waves of emotion,
and as a general expression they are said
to spring always from the heart-an ex-
preston singularly truthful, for no one
ever wept from the head; that is, no one
ever reasoned himself or herself into tears,
except through an appeal back to emotion.
The poets have dealt with what may be
considered, from their point of view, chem
istry of tears. They have written about
salt tears" crystal tears" poisonous
tears" 'hopeyed tears" and the like. They
are to some extent correct in their poetic
guesses Tears are saline, for they carry a
trace of the chloride of sodium or common
salt which exists in the blood; they may
be poisonous, for in persons under the in
fuence of a soluble poison, like salt OF
anthony, they may convey an ininitesi-
NAL part of such poisonous material; they
may be honeyed, for in diabetes the tears
do sometimes become saccharine, like the
other fluid secretions.
But this sort of thing is exceptional. In
a general way tears are made up of pure
water, holding trace of saline matter and
nothing more; the glands which secrete
them are the purest wells of pure water in
the body.-Dr. w. B. Richardson in As
clepiad.

4 Professional HousecIeaDer.

A woman in this city has a certain
number of customers, all of whom are
persons of wealth and willing to pay her
well. She goes to the house of each
customer at stated periods and removes
all the furniture, curtains and pictures
from the drawing rooms. She then di-
reefs the cleaning of the rooms and the
furniture, taking care that the latter is
not scratched or injured in the handling,
and that all blemishes are removed by
careful oiling. All the furnishings are
then replaced according to her ideas. As
she has excellent taste, she manages to
create a good impression each time, but
never duplicates setting. She suggests
the removal of unnecessary pieces or the
addition of odd bits that will fill out her
plan, and keeps the customer informed
in regard to the changes of styles.-New
York Sun.

woman's DAINTY Underwear.

I
just what sort of underwear to assume
is one question that troubles the average
woman very much. She doesn't want
to wear so much that it will be bulky,
| and she doesn't want to wear too little
| for fear she will catch cold. She tries
first one and then another shaped gar
| ment, and the wise woman is she who,
having at last hit upon that which is
| most comfortable, makes it most dainty
and assumes it for good. Very little
linen is used nowadays for ones lingerie,
the preference being given to cambria,
Victoria lawn, nainsook or percale. The
last is noted with tiny dots or wee flow
ers in pink, blue or lavender upon the
white ground. Then when the garment
is finished the edges have triple seal
lop or sharp point embroidered in cot
ton of the same color as the figure. This
material, with its simple finish, is liked
for sack shaped chemises. for night
dresses and for drawers. 1t Is seldom
if ever, used for skirts.
The fancy for silk nightdresses still
exists, but as there always have been
women who would wear nothing but the
clear white lawn or nainsook, and as
these women are many, the makers of
underwear are specially catering to
them. Very much more fine work, that
is, handwork, can be put upon main
sock gown than upon a silk one, and the
needlewoman can make more fine tucks,
fancy stitches, gatherings, hemstitch-
ing and drawing of threads than ever
would seem possible.-Mrs. Mallon in
Ladies Home journal.

The bishop was not cas- scared, but be

least. On inquiry he learned that young

greet the bishop, and he had issued The
handbills, knowing that many who would
not come to hear the bishop preach would
come at the hint of disturbance

Bimini and the Fountain of Youth.

Bimini was a fabulous island firmly
believed in by the Indians of the An
titles, though they could give no further
clew to its location than that it Lay some
hundreds of leagues north Of Hispaniola.
On this island was the famous foun-
tain of youth which had the power Of
restoring youth and giving perpetual
health and vigor. 1t was the search for
this fountain that led Ponce de Leon
and fernando de Soto to Florida, on the
outskirts of which the island was gener-
ally supposed to be situated.-SL Louis

Ailments of the Eyes.

No organ of the body is liable to a
greater variety of ailments than the eye.
More than forty such diseases are emu
merated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness,
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age. Some are due to other diseases;
some originate with the eye itself; some
are the result of external wounds. Some
are brought on by the improper use Of
the eye; some by the abuse of other or
gans. Some are partially or wholly
durable; others are not.
As we have two eyes, the loss of one
does not materially affect the other.
The double provision is wise and be-
nevolent one in the case of an organ ex-
posed to SO many accidents from with
out and so many diseases from Within
