An Hour With the Magazines.

The thoughts and feelings, the
speculations and the theorizations,
the learning and the talent, mani
tested iu. the magazines of this day,
are simply amazing. Perhaps, in
no department of literature, science
or religion has there been greater
advancement during the past thirty
years than in our magazines. Every
line Of thought affecting the public
mind, every branch of learning,
every department of science and
every system of philosophy with
every phase of religion come under
their supervision. We have maga-
zines that are fifty years old and
more, some that are an hundred
years old, and between them and
those of the present, there is gap
almost worldwide.
Through the magazines We obtain
the latest and clearest views of the
present state of religion, philosophy
and science; the deepest thought
and the products of the closest
thinkers and ablest writer's of the
world. Our daily and weekly news
papers are useful, and it may be
said, absolutely necessary, in that
they keep us advised Of the current
events of the day,
Catching the living manners as they rise,
And shooting at folly as it flies"
and, by means of the telegraph lines
giving us accounts of events that
transpired in any or almost every
part OF the world, only a few hours
before; but in magazines we get the
result of close study, deep thought
and profound learning. Hence,
their Importance to those who would
be well informed.

Savage Hairdressers.

Most savage nation take great pains
with the hair, particularly those of the
Eastern hemisphere. Some of the Afri-
can tribes devote days to the produe.
ton of an elaborate headdress. teasing
their frizzly wool into long braids, coils
and coronets. Coral shells, which pass
for money among the tribes on the
coast, are woven into their puffs and
the border of the hair, and dangle over
their eyes from the ends of their
bangs. In the Fiji island the headdress
is even more pretentious and showy,
greatly enhancing the apparent size of
the head-a result which in the eyes of
those people is conducive of beauty. In
Japan the men wear the hair short, but
the arrangement OF the ladies' tresses
Is aften the work of two or three
days, and wooden headrests are special
" constructed to take the place of. the
pillow at night, supporting the neck
without disturbing the coiffure, while
wooden hairpins of wonderful design
are thrust literally through it to pin
ion the different parts to their places.

had been sent her. he discovered the
old lady in the pitchy darkness. holding
a match under the cold water faucet.
When she "came to herself" in re-
sponse to her sons hearty laugh. she
admitted that she had lighted five other
matches and treated them in the same
way.
