Why Some Women do not Marry.
One such woman who used to attacl

One such woman who used to attack
a new science or language every year,
and, failing from her lack Of teacher
or companion, would pile the text
books in heaps until walls Of dusty
volumes shut in every room of the
house. She fell at last into state
of scmi-idiocity, and wandered like a
ghost around the village, jabbcring
scraps Of foreign tongues which she
did not understand.
1t is u hereditary habit in certain
families for the women who have a
grief to shut themselves into single
room, and remain there for ten, twcn-
ty, thirty years. Nor arc the morbid
fancies of these women always gloomy
and sad. They live sometimes in an
enchanted land Of their own.
One whom ! know, a woman Of sem
suous temperament and mothcrly in
stincts, refused to marry man whom
she loved because he had gone to live
in another town, and she would be
forced to leave the old house and half
acre which were the centre of the
world to her. The courtship went on
for forty years, but she was true to
the house!
Another drove her lover away on
the day of the wedding because she
could not bring herself to change the
name Of Wonson for any other. He
was rich and she was poor; he remain
ed faithful and ready as long as she
lived. She died at 10, a maiden Won
son still. Could pride Of blood 60

The Color OF Horses.

Austrazasiol, as follows on that vexed
question, the color of horses !:
"It is an old saying among horsey
men, a good horse was never a bad
color, and yet popular prejudice as
signs all sorts of good or !!evil traits
of character to particular colors. I
can quite understand this with those
who do not know better; but that an
expert, like an Indian buyer, should
hold to the popular fallacy is almost
beyond belief, seeing that we have
had innumerable instances, both in
the old country and here, to the con-
trary. It was recently that sonnet four
OF five races were won in one day upon
one Of our local courses by chestnuts,
and Ithink theifact was mentioned by
one of yours contributors, and they
are equally good either in saddle or
harness. Yet there are numbers who
will condemn a chestnut at once for
his color only, be he ever so perfect
in every other respect. The objec-
tion to gray one can understand from
groom point Of view, seeing that
they are so difficult to keep free from
stains as age whitens their coats, but
for no other lack of good constitution
or disposition.
"Some will tell you that a roam is
the hardest of all horses, and yet I
venture to assert that greater por-
tion of aged roans does not exist.
"Others credit black horses with
being allied to the devil himself for
temper and untrustworthiness. The
only objection to him is that he is
very rusty in his winter garb.
"'White legs are always a sign of
weakness, you are told by many.
But [ think three to one would be fair
betting against the one white leg out
Of a set Of four, the others being
black. What about Odd Stockings
and All Fours ? Surely if white legs
were sign Of weakness, such horses
should break down at a very early
stage of their career. Most judges
prefer bays with black points, and it
would be difficult to beat them for
general appearance the year through,
but I for one should certainly deny
to them monopoly of sound consti-
tutions, tractability, intelligence, and
all other virtues. 1 am quite with
Mr.. Basil Gray in his general re-
marks, but even he errs the other
way, as he credits white legs with be-
ing indicative of some peculiar vir-
tue-or, as he says, they always de-
note quality. This l very much
doubt. That skillful breaking and
future wise education has most to do
with the character and usefulness Of
a horse, as we'll as a man, irrespective
of his color, can, I think, be accepted
as a settled fact. Renfrew was splen-
did tempered horse until teased to
such an extent that he became man
eater. Many two-legged brother has
had his character spoiled by those who
should have helped to make him bet
ter. That horses, like men, have
their temperaments goes without say
ing. That an eye for the beautiful
leads fanciers to reject piebald, skew
bald, and horses with wall eyes and
big blazes for hacks or carriage pur-
poses is not 20 be wondered at. But
that any should condemn many Of our
really beautiful chcstnuts is an enigma.

CHAMELEON FACES.

Ladies Who Paint Should be Careful
About Attending Chemical Lectures.
The other week a large and fashionable
audience assembled in a Paris lecture
hall to hear one of a series of lectures de-
livered by a celebrated professor of
chemistry. At the conclusion of the lect-
ure a lady and gentleman who were
among the first to leave the hall had
reached the open air, when the lady
caught her escort staring hard at her.
What is the matter?' asked madame,
in surprise.
Pardon me, but you are quite blue!"
The lady returned to the hall and APP
preached a mirror. She started back in
horror. The rouge upon her checks had
been converted into a BEAUTIFUL blue by
the chemical accommodation which had
taken place under the influence of the
gases which had been generated during
the lecture.
The majority of the women in the audi
ence had suffered in a similar manner.
There were all sorts of cOlors-blue, yell
low, violet and black. Some whose vani>
ty had induced them to put ivory on the
skin, coral IN the lips, rouge on the
cheeks and black on the eyebrows had
undergone a ludicrous transformation

AND BANANAS.

Interesting Information Concerning Eng
lands Garden in the Canaries.
Within the last ten years English fruit
eaters have developed an enormous appe-
tite fer bananas. DR.. Morris, assistant di-
rector of Kew, in a very interesting and
valuable letter on the plants and gardens
of the Canary islands, just published,
tells us that out bananas nearly all come
from the Canaries or from Madeira,
though, curiously enough, the variety al
most exclusively cultivated is a Chinese
plant. This, he says, is a shorter and
stouter plant han the tropical banana,
and often bears from 80 to 250 fling
ers'' in a bunch. In 1893 no less than
PIT ,O95 punches were exported from
Grand Canary alone. Most of them
came to this country ,and no inconsider-
able portion of them are consumed in
London, where they sell at the fruit
shops at about a penny a finger" so
that a single bunch of fruit in the Cana
ries may often represent a retail value of
2Os or 21s in the London markets.
In this same article DR.. Norris gives
some very interesting information about
tomatoes, which are an even more i'm
portant export from the Canary islands,
though of very recent date. The total
expectation is supposed to be now about
10000 cases, or something like 200 tons
of fruit. 1t is grown, packed, shipped
and delivered in London at an actual
cost of ID a pound, and as it comes into
the market at a time when there are no
English tomatoes to be had, somebody
must be making a good thing out of it,
though from DIR. Morris account of the
bushes it probably is not the Canarian
growers who are making rapid fortunes.
Strange to say, they get their seed from
England. 1t is distributed among them
on their undertaking to sell their pro-
duce at Gcertain rate per hundredweight.
SO far from the enormous imports from
the Canary islands injuring English
growers, it is considered to be distinctly
advantageous to them by fostering and
sustaining a taste for the fruit at a time
of year when it might otherwise die
down and be supplanted by something

MOSQUITOES LIVE ON PAINT.
a Ships Crew Tell a Strange Story of the
Ravages OF the Fes tiye Insect.

"A Ships Crew Tell a Strange Story of the
Ravages OF the Fe stive Insect.
The crew of the British bark Iodine,
Capt. Bartlett, which reached this port
from Greenland yesterday, related some
remarkable stories of the heat and mos
quitoes they encountered during their
stay at that place. The vessel was in
Iyigtut harbor, on the west shore, taking
on Il cargo of cryolite, and while the
crew were working on the slip several
of them were overcome by heat and had
to be carried below. Not only this, but
the paint peeled off the ships side to
such an extent that they had to repaint
the vessel.
