English women's Bonnets.

A private letter from England de-
clares that women there are wearing
their bonnets and hats perched on the
back of the head, where they look for
all the world as if they were likely to
fall off any moment. This is especially
true Of the small bonnets, of which Eng
lish women are so fond, and they are
worn hanging on the cushion of hair,
which is gaining steadily in favor. 1t
isn't probable that tho fashion will
reach here for two seasons yet, rs it
takes about that time for style in mil
linery or hairdressing to get to this coun-
try.
To prove that it is only necessary to
look at the Alpine, Tyrol or English
walking hat, as it is called, which has
been adopted this summer by New York
women. Three years ago similar shapes
were seen in all the London shops, but
not more than half a dozen American
women would bring them home 1t has
taken ever since for the style to get here

Scorpions.

The natives of Lucca, in Italy, assert
that tho scorpion will destroy itself if
exposed to sudden light, and writer
in Nature said that his informant and
her friends, while residing during the
summer months at the baths Of Lucca,
were much annoyed by the intrusion Of
small black scorpions into the house
and their being secreted among the bed
clothes, in shoes and in other articles Of
dress; that they soon became adopts in
catching the scorpions and disposing Of
them in the manner suggested. "This
consisted in confirming the animal under
an inverted drinking glass or tumbler
below which card was inserted when
the capture was made and then waiting
till dark, suddenly bringing the light Of
a candle near to the glass in which the
animal was confined. No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs of great excitement, run
ming round and round the interior of
the tumbler with reckless velocity for a
number Of times
''This state having lasted for minute
or more, the animal suddenly became
quiet, and turning its tail, or the hinder
part of its body, over its back, brought
its recurved sting down upon the mid
die Of the head, and piercing it forcibly
in few seconds became quite motion
less, and, in fact, quite dead. This OBJ
servation was repeated very frequently
i'm truth, it was adopted as the best
plan of getting rid of the pests, and the
young people were in the habit of han
ding them with impunity Immediately
after they were so killed and of preserv-
ing many of them as curiosities. 1t is
known that scorpions kill themselves
when surrounded by ring of fire.

A Word Against Suffrage.

The most of the advocates of woman
suffrage in the United States are wom-

their lives, hardly know for what they
clamor. They are not usually the wom
en- who have been thrown into most
contact with the world. The little local
suffrage clubs here and there. if analysed
without prejudice, will be found to
consist Of the woman physician. the
women who have not married and are
victims of conserved longing" which
they hope to satisfy by intellectual pur-
suits, and women disappointed in mar
riage. 1t is to me the beating of the
bird against tho bars" to see these wom-
en- long so ardently for woman's suf-
frage, because fear that it will not
give them what they need, but be a

waiting rsr city Friend with Three Jars
of Buttermiik.
The last passenger to leave the 4:30
train ON the Michigan Central railroad
after it drew to n standstill one summer
afternoon was little old woman in
black. A wisp of gray hair struggled
from under an old fashioned poke bon
net, and pair of kindly blue eyes
looked out from behind her steel trimmed
spectacles. In one hand sho carried q
huge, shiny valise, the key Of which
was tied TO the handle with strip Of
calico cloth. When she was part way up
the platform, she stopped. with trou-
bled look, and watched the baggagemen
toll by with their loaded trucks. Pres
emily she dropped the valise and opened
big black fan which was fastened to
her waist by velvet ribbon. After she
had waited some time one of the depot
ushers came along and asked il he could
be of any service to her.
"Why, thank you, think not" she
answered. 81 am waiting for Dick Rob-
inson."
The depot usher hurried ON and paid
no more attention TO the little old wom-
an. When he camo back half hour
later, she was still standing where he
had left her, gently tanning herself
with the black fan. Has your friend
come YETI" asked the usher.
NO." she answered. "EIis watch
must have been slow"
did he expect you by this train?"
"Well, you see, it's this way: Last
summer Dick and his wife came over to
Briggsburg to visit the Coopers While
they were there they came over often TO
my place to get q drink of buttermilk.
Well, we got friendly, and Sarah told
me lot Of things about Chicago, and
that she couldn't by no manner of
means get buttermilk in the city. Be-
fore Dick went back he came around
and says: Mrs. Boggs, just take run
up to Chicago next summer and visit
us. Let us know when you're coming
and I'll meet you at the depot. And so
I'm here. and I've got three jars Of
fresh buttermilk for them in that bag +"
The depot usher helped the little old
woman to seat in the waiting room,
and then he searched the directory for
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn' I
help him much, because she didn't know
Dicks occupation.
"All / know" she explained, sis
that he's a genuine gentleman, and if
he had got my letter he'd "a been here "
The usher made list of two or three
addresses and put the woman in charge
of n trusty cabman, with instructions to
find Dick. Two hours later the driver
came back with the report that his fare
was delivering her buttermilk. Chi
