Opium a Cause of Suicide.

He replied, No l have heard since
that he hanged himself. 1 took to eat

A Theater Hat Censor.

What New Haven theaters want is
hat censor, and he should be armed with
an AK and timers shears 1t wouldn't
be bad idea to equip him ON extraor-
binary occasions with a machine that
would grind into pulp half a dozen of
those big, faring, sight destroying and
purse wrecking products Of the millinery
store at one revolution of the machine.
He should take his place right alongside
the ticket taker at the theater doors and
watch closely every woman who entered
and notice the size of her hat At the
same time he should take particular no.

hat is of that spread eagle class that
blocks the view of at least three persons
right behind where the woman has her
seat and produces one of those blue
curls of mental blasphemy the poets
speak of, he should be sure to make a
note Of it in his book. The nat censor

Like 1870 Fnshinn pIntes.

Slowly but surely the style of attire
called 1880 is making its way. The
outline of fashionable wOman's figure
i'll this costume is a little like that of an
hourglass. She has extreme width over
the shoulders and goes narrowing off to
the waist and then spreading out to the
feet. If you look at our grandmothers'
fashion plates for the year 1880, you will
see very much that outline, but there is
one point of difference as yet-they had
full gathered skirts apparently; all the
way around their waists there are gathers
visible. Our skirts are plain at the front
and sides and gored to set as tight as
possible there; then they slope so as to
spread wide and yet with level grace
around the foot. In order to make them
do this, they are stiffly lined at the bot
tom. A piece of buckram is used as inter
lining and goes all around the foot of the
skirt; it is about ~ inches deep. This is
the bell skirt" which is the novelty ac,

LOVE TO PLAY.
IEAtinct and Faculty in Animals for Their
Self AmusemeDt

tEAtinct and Faculty in Animate for Their
Self-Amusement.
In animals the faculty of amusement
wakes very early. Our four-footed
friends seems to be aware of this and
make this a part of their paren tai
duties to amuse their young. A ferret
will play with her kittens, a cat with
hers, dog with her puppies. A mare
will play with her foaI, though the
writer from whom we quote never saw
cow try to amuse her calf, nor any
birds their young. If their mothers do
not amuse them the young ones invent
games of their own. A flock of ewes
and lambs was also observed in adioin-
ing fields, separated by fence with
several gaps in it. "Follow nv leader"
was the game most in favor with the
flock, the biggest lamb leading round
the field and then jumping the gap,
with all the others following in single
file. Any lamb that took the leap un-
usually well would give two or three
more enthusiastic jumps out of sheer
eXhuberant happiness when it reached
the other side.
Fawns play sort of cross touch from
one side to the other, the ''touch" in
each case being by the nose Little pigs
are also great at combined play, which
generally takes the form of races. EN-
ulation seems to form part of their
amusement, for their races seem ALWAYS
to have the winning of the first place
for their object, and are quite different
from those combined rushes for food
and causeless stampedes in which little
pigs are wont to indulge. Racing is an
amusement natural to some animals.
and being soon taught by others, be-
comes one of their most exciting pas.
times Many horses and all racing dogs
learn to be as keen at winning as school
boys. Birds delight in the free and fan
ciful use of their wings. There is all
the difference possible between the

SAVED FROM THE SEA.
Crow Rescued After Fifty-Three Hours
of Extrome PERIL


NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Ths Am ericar
bark Herbert Fuller, Capt. Nash, has ar
rived from Brunswick, Ga, Dec "a
She brought twelve persons, consisting
of Capt. Bunker, master of the schooner
Levanter, abandoned off Cape Hatteras
last Friday; his wife and young son, and
nine sailors.
The Levanter hailed from Thomaston,
Me. She sailed from Brunswick a few
days previous to the bark Herbert Fuller.
When she arrived off Cape Hatteras,
the day after Christmas, the wind was
terrific from the north and east, and the
sea rose to such an unusual height that
the Levanter finally sprung a leak.
At daylight on the 9th she was fifty
miles east of the cape, with six or seven
feet of water in her hold.
At noon the vessel became waterlogged,
and the steering gear gave out, and the
vessel became unmanageable. At
O'Clock the vessel had sunk to the upper
deck, and the rigging was one mass of
ice, freezing thicker and thicker as the
sea dashed against it.
At 10 p. m. the captain ordered all
hands to lash themselves to the housetop,
and even then the sea constantly broke
over them.
This condition Of things continued
until noon OF the S0th, when the bark
Herbert Fuller sighted the distressed
vessel, then ITO miles north of Cape Hat
teras, bore down to her and rescued all
on board. All hands were on the house
top for fifty-three hours, the vessel drift
ing completely at the mercy of the sea.
Captain Nash says the rescue was
affected after great difficulty. 1t took
three hours to complete the work and the
high sea came near swamping the boats
several times.
A majority Of the men were badly FROST
bitten.
