Curious Street Incident.

A young man with pine box on his
shoulder was upset by team while
crossing Broadway, in New York, on
Monday, and the spectators saw Gu
rious sight. AS he fell he threw his
apron over his head and shoulders, and
when he touched the ground he
bounded up and ran as if for bis life.
The box burst and yellow vapor filed
the air. A dark liquid flowed down the
stones and the same yellow vapor
fioated over it, rose to the height of the
windows along the street, and they
were instantly slammed to by the peo-
pie inside. Meanwhile foot passengers
ran and carriages hurried into the side
streets. The innocent looking box
which made all this commotion was
said to have been case of vitrol. His
presence of mind had saved the young
man who had been carrying it from be
ing eaten up by it as speedily as the
box that had held it. -HarJord Coorant

The Growth of Children.

Observations made at Worcester
School, New England, have shown, as
rule, boys heads are longer than
girls, although the average difference
varies, it being three millimeters at the
age OF eleven to thirteen, or six or
seven millimeters afterwards. A girls
head ceases TO grow at eighteen, and
boys at twenty-one. The head grows
and ceases TO grow in breadth by turns.
Girls heads are narrower than boys till
their eleventh year, then about the
same width till their fourteenth year,
when the boys heads again become
wider than the girls. AT seventeen a
girls head ceases TO grow in breadth
and boys at twenty 1t is much
the same with breadth of face. AS for
stature, boys at five are taller than girls,
but the latter Overtake them at the
seventh year, and the boys only recover
the lead at the ninth year. AT the
twelfth year the girls shoot up taller
than the boys until the fifteenth year,
when the boys finally distance them.
Girls cease to grow at seventeen, and
boys keep on for few years longer.
Comparing the length Of head with the
stature, girls heads are shorter in pro-
portion to their height than boys until
the fifteenth year, when the girls take
the lead, and 30 women have proper
tionally longer heads than men. The
same is true of width of head and also
of the breadth of face.-CdSSeW s

A Curious Belief.

1t is surprising how many people be-
lieve that the entire body of man is
renewed every seven years exactly.
This used to be taught in books, aud I,
although not orthodox now, is still &C
cepted as gospel by many. To show its
inaccuracy one has only to hit a nail on
his finger hard enough, for in that case
the injured object Will come off and be
replaced by an entirely new nail. If
this process occupied seven years, such
an accident would be a very tresome
affair, but, as any mechanic will tell
you, it occupies few weeks. The
growth is more rapid in summer than
winter, but never taking more than
four months. So far as the nails are
concerned, then, the renewal process is
repeated about twenty-one times during
the regulation seven years, and the
theory is thus destroyed, even if no
other proofs of its falsity were forth
coming. Louis Globe Democrat.

Names of japanese Girls.

Many of the pretty and suggestive
little words that serve as names for
japanese girls are as charming in Eng
lish as in japanese. 1t is not uncom-
mon for Jap girl to bear the name Of
a flower. On the other hand, however,
many girls in Japan bear the names of
some domestic utensils, as frying pan
or dustbrush. Doubtless this results
from the custom common among some
peoples of naming child for the first
object that strikes the eye after the
little one has come into the world

A Well Regulated Family.

In certain primly kept house in
an old-fashioned country town 1t is
a family boast that not one bit of china
has been broken, cracked or A" nicked !"
IN twenty-seven years. The last time
when such disaster occurred was
when some soldier visited the place
about the close of the war. 1t is al
most unnecessary 10 remark that no
male creature is member of this note
worthy household. Three maiden
ladies, who were young when the china
breaking troops came, compose the
family, and this is the way the rite of
dish washing is conducted All edibles
are removed and the pretty, creamy
china with its purple and gilt band, is
carefully scraped with scrap of bread.
To scrape with kuife would be held a
crime. Then it is piled neatly on a
low table about the size of sewing
table. The cut glass and old-fashioned
silver are also piled there. Then one
of the sisters takes her place on a chair
before it and another hers on the side.

MISCELLANY.
Dolly.

Dear little Dolly pink and white,
Plays with her kitten from morn till night,
over and under the chairs 1t steals,
Wars with handkerchief, runs with reels,
Purrs as she fondles its plumy hair
Never was seen such pretty pair.
Dear little Doll, you're woman grown
Uisten, aud let your kitten alone);
What you are, how you come to be-
That is the puzzle that puzzles me.
Hair the color of blossomed lime
Matches the eyes like rhyme and rhyme.
Pink little bud of mouth-'tis choice
For such a sweet little huty voice.
These are appropriate, III allow;
Then why should you have that classic brow
Delicate feet for tripping toes
But how do you come by a Roman nose?
That profile for a fay like you
Had Lucretia kitten too?
How shall best express your sweetness?
How shall render its Incompetence?
What comparison must fetch2
Shall say you are just a sketch?

Very minute effects he tries,
With deal of drawing about the eyes.
Not one touch of his work he'll slur
And never misses the character
But he works so slowly that all the bloom
Dies off a peach in his painting room.
Love belongs to different school,
Works regardless of every rule.
But let his critics say what they list,
Love is a grand impressonist.
Handles the sketch, and hour by hour
CLOVIS the canvas with growing power.

No sooner finished than given away.

And quaint'precision of dainty grace,

To see the sweet little sketch again?

The Proper Way to Sit.

A proper sitting position requires
that the spine shall be kept straight,
and that the support needed tor the
upper part shall be felt in the right
place. Therefore, sit as far back as
end of the spine shall be braced against
the back of the seat. If this back is
straight, the shoulders will also rest
against it: if not, they will have no
point of support, and it will be found
that they do not need it. This position
makes no strain upon the ligaments of
the spine. 1t allows proper position
of the shoulders, consequently of the
lungs, stomach, and every other organ
of the body. Their work is carried on
naturally and comfortably, as is also
the circulation of the blood, which iu a
wrong sitting position is seriously in
terfered with. With the feet resting
! squarely upon the foor, the hands rest
ing easily upon the lap, perfect equilib-
rum, and consequently perfect rest, of
the body is secured. There is no strain
upon any part of the body; no muscle
or organ is required to do more than lis
own amount of work. The arms should
never De lolueu, Ior tnaV posltlon not
only causes strain upon the spine and
all the other evils referred to, but, in
addition, places the weight of the arms
upon the stomach and diaphragm
thereby increasing the labor of diges
ton and respiration. Placing the hand:
behind the back, if possible, is gooc
attitude to take occasionally, giving al
it does, Z fullest expansion of The
whole upper part of the body.-HaW'

The FacetiOus Young Man Turned
Down.

He was very facetious young man,
and he was showing a bright young
woman, upon whom his affections were
lavishing themselves, through chair
factory that was the principal and most
interesting industry of the town. The
courteous attendant explained every
thing to them, when the facetious
young man, DESTROYS of showing how
facetious he could be when he tried,
pointing to cane-bottomed chair,
asked, "And where do you get the
holes?" "Oh we buy those from the
Indians" replied the attendant; and
he was much pleased, as the facetious
young man was not, to hear the young
woman giggle. "Ah, indeed?" said the
funny man, superciliously. "Of what
Indians, pray?" "Dig2ers," replied the
attendant, meekly.-Harper's Magazine.

and soft cloths are brought. The ar
ticles are washed piece by piece by one
sister, the silver and glass first, then
the china. Then the second sister
dries them on soft linen cloths, and
places them on the other table. No
mops, no boiling water, no piling OF
dishes and pouring water over them is
ever allowed. And that is why the
dishes are not cracked or njcked,
though they are worn thin. Besides,
the process invests dish washing with q
certain sort of poetry.-Ne'0 York

The Chinese as Servants.

AS servants the Chinese are very
capable in many respects, and very I'M
desirable in others. They never gossip
about the affairs of family that EN-
ploys them. They learn whatever it is
desired they should know, acquiring
skill with apparent ease by means of
their wonderful power of imitation.
They are perfectly willing to do every
sort of household work, aud the average
servant will act as chambermaid, laun-
derer, and waiter, all at once for one
salary. They cannot bear to be Or
dered about by women. They will
take any amount of scolding or fault
finding from man, and none from a
woman. In two cases of which l heard
the Chinese servants chased their mis-
tresses out of their houses with axes.
A very veXatious thing is that they
never give warning when they are
going to leave place. They suddenly
announce, "Me want to 60" and the
utmost questioning is not likelyto elicit
any more than "Me want to 90; me
tired" One lady in Victoria told me
that she moved from one house 10
another and employed new servant.
He stayed an hour. The next one
stayed an afternoon, the next one a
day. Puzzled and worried, she per
suaded one who was about to leave to
tell her why he was dissatisfied. He
took her to the sink in the kitchen, and
showed her a peculiar mark in chalk
under the sink. 1t was a notification
of one servant to all the others that the
head of the house was not kind Oh
honest in his dealings with his serv'
ants. She explained that she had but
just moved into the house, and the
servant took off his street apparel and
remained with her. But he told hel
that whenever Chinaman came tC
| work in new place he always locke
through all the pots and pans aud ket
ties and cupboards for some piece ot
paper, or mark of some kind, left by
preceding servants, and explaining the
character of the house.-Julion Ralph
