me Riehsss Man IN BrasiI.

Perhaps one Of the most interesting a.
well as entertaining characters among the
prisoners Is that of an Englishman, long
: citizen Of Brazil, the we'll known Count
Leopoldina. He Is not at all an adven-
turer, but 10 . well-born and bred gentle
man, bearing q genuine title from the
king Of Portugal. In appearance he il
the opposite Of the average Brazileiro,
round, rudy and jolly. He Is reported
to be the Wealthiest man in Brazil, yet
when talked with him be wore shabby
seersucker suit and soiled linen, although
In his shirt front were studs worth thou
sands, and his cuh buttons would have
paid his way out Of any prison. He sent
on shore diamond ring for deposit,
valued at $15, 900, and ordered any guam
tity of champagne for the excursion.
This gentleman was formerly known as
clerk in Para, named Henrique Lowndes,
who was without any means beyond his
meager salary. He failed in some business
ventures here, and went to Rio several
years ago. Though lame and not at all
handsome in personal appearance, he
married beautiful and accomplished
lady who had a fortune, which he has by
judicious management increased until he
is now the recognized leading Spectator
in Rio.-Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.

How 10 Hang Pictures,

In hanging pictures it is to be remem-
bered that although oil paintings look
better hung in the usual way, with a
sloping in from the top to the wall at
the bottom; yet, etchings and water
colors often look better hung fat against
the wall. A picture with shadows should,
II possible, have the light side nearest the
windows, 50 that the shadows will fall
naturally. Pictures do not, necessarily,
come in pairs, and although often two
pictures, similar in size and subject, may
find convenient places on corresponding
parts Of the wall, vet quite as often the
stiff effect by "pairs " or companion
pieces" takes away the artistic value Of
both pieces. Paintings, or any pictures,
should not be hung so high that it is un-
comfortable to look at them, but some
pictures are of such large designs or
brilliant color that they look much better
hung high up than down lower. Mold
ings are much better to hang pictures
from than nails in the wall, and are not
very expensive to put up. . National

CAPTURE or scorT.

Detective Riorden Of the B. & @.
railroad force. left here yesterday
morning for Martinsburg with Bernie
Scott, colored, who IS wanted in Berke-
ley county for highway robbery. The
fellow was arrested Wednesday at
River Side Park by officers Rusk and
Means an hour after the description Of
the negro was given them. Scott is
known to be the leader Of two gangs
of thieves who have operated along
the line Of the B. & O. and all Of his
'.palsn are either dead or serving time.
He is wanted in jefferson county for
assault and battery, also for carrying
concealed weapons and shooting a
woman at row at church in that
county. Scott was with Ward, the
negro man whose home was in the city
but who was killed by train at
Moundsyille some time since. Mr..
Riorden is quite liberal in his praise Of
the quick work Of officers Rusk and
Means. Charleston Gazette.

An oddity In Eers.


Some silkworms lay from 1000 to 1000
eggs, the wasp 3, 1000, the ant from 5000 to
5000. The number Of eggs laid BY the
queen bee has long been in dispute. Bur
meister says from 5000 to 5000, but
Spence and Kirby both go him several
better, each declaring that the queen OF
average fertility will not lay less than
5000, and probably as high as $1,000 in
one season. Termes fatalis, the white ant,
Is possessed Of the most extraordinary
egg laying propensities of any known
creature; she often produces Sc, 400 eggs in
q single dayi From the time when the
white ant begins to lay until the egg
laying season ls over--usually reckoned
by entomologists as an exact lunar
month-she produces 2,5OO, 900 eggsl In
point of fecundity the white ant exceeds
all other creatures. st. Louis Republic.

wealthy patricians were most prodigai u
this respect The perfumers were called
rnRnenfarii, IS they principally COM
pounded unguents, and must have done
an immense business. IN Rome they con-
gregated in quarter called the vicus
Thnrnricus,n says knowledge. The most
celebrated peffumer in the time Of Mar
tial was certain individual named Cos
mus, whom Martial frequently mentions.
At Capna there was such number Of per-
irmers that the principal street Of the
city, named Seplnsia, was almost entirely
occupied by them. For the most part
these tradesmen were Greeks, and, as at
Athens, their shops (tabcrna) were the
rendezvous Of the rich idlers Of those
days.
The perfunaed oils and ointments were
made III great variety. The basis OF the
oils was generally the oil Of BEN and that
OF the ungnents was bleached and partly
purified tallow. They were used not only
for the hair, but to anoint all parts Of the
body, especially after the bath, which
was quite complicated process. II was
also customary ct banquets 70 honor the
guests BY pouring costly perfumed oils,
such as rhodium, made from roses; me
linm, made from ounces; metopiuni,
from bitter almonds; narcissimum, from
the narcissns.
Perhaps the most fashionable oil after
oleum susInum was that called crocfnun,
made from saffron (crocus), which COM
municated both fine color and odor to
the person; Heliogabalus never bathed
without 1t. Butter Is noticed by Pliny a.
used by the negro and lower classes Of
Arabs for amounting their bodies.
The natives Of India prefer strong per-
fumes for this purpose, and use oil Of
santal and oil Of patchouh. Savages also
grease their bodies, but probably with
the idea Of being enabled to escape more
easily from the grip Of an enemy.
The Romans were not acquainted with
the use of regular soap, but they em-
ployed an alkali, with which the greasy
dirt was dissolved out Of their clothes.
This alkali, called nitrum, Is referred to
by Pliny; but the cheapest solvent was
urine, which was mostly used. The
clothes were put in this, mixed with
water, and then stamped upon with the
feet. This process was performed by old
people, while boys lifted the clothes out
OF the tubs. The white garments, after
being washed, were subjected to the vapoi
of sulphur being stretched on q frame
and the sulphur burned underneath.
Poor people in Roman cieansed their
bodies with meal Of lupins, called To-
mentum, which, with common meal, il
still used in some places for that purpose.

A LITTLE SUNBEAM.
Touching Story of a ChiId's Loving
Gratitude.


Railroad engineers and firemen, grimy
and taclturn, lead more dangerous life
than any soldier, but their occupation is
prosalc, and few give them credit for
herolsm or the gentler feelings which
make up the romantic side of human ma
tare. Yet in their existence there some
times falls spark of light, and a ray of
sunshine illuminates the smoky cab.
The overland train had arrived at Oak
land, Cal. and the great iron engine was
throbblng and putting after the long, sim
uous trip over the mountain sides and the
rocky dehles, lofty treStleS and marshy
stretches.
The din in the depot was deafening, but
out OF the chaos Of sounds a sweet, girlish
voice was heard welcoming home her
parents, who had arrived on the train.
She was little golden haired beauty,
scdrceiyI years OF age, with quick, in
telI!gent eye and loving nature, to
which she gave full vent in the radiant
ana 1mpulslVe way she welcomed her
parents back. At last they took her by
the hand and proceeded toward the ferry
boat.
AS they passed by the engine attached
TO the train, the little one broke away,
ran up to the big black machine, and
patted the driving wheels affectionately
with her small white hands. Then, look
ing up at the smokestack, she said:
you good, big, old iron horse, you
have brought back papa and mamma
safe over the great mountains to their
little girl, and l want to thank you, even
If you don't care for me, because I am so
little. And you, too" she continued,
turning her face wistfully toward the
grimy engineer and fireman, who were
looking down at her; II love you ALL"
Then she kissed her hand to them and
was gone.
Bill said the engineer to his fire.
man, what was that?''
"'Peared like an angel" said the fire.
man, echoing the others thoughts.
Just then feeting sunbeam from the
great orb sinking down in the Golden
Gate came stealing through a clink in the
depot, and stole by the engineer into his
cab. There was a strange look on his
lace for an instant; and, when he turned
his head, there were two light spots on
his dust-begrimmed cheeks.-Tbe Pres
byterian.
