Tho primary object in using veil
is not TO conceal tho fnco or hide the
wearer from the recognition of her
friends, though in the East, where the
veil is n shrouding mantle worn i'm.
partially by females of every rank
nnd all degrees of age, this was
and is tho reason for its assumption.
With us no woman desires to put on
nm air of mystery or i'll any way dis.
guise herself by tho wearing of Il veil.
She puts it on because it is height
ening of her beauty; her eyes, her
skin, her lips, it must be owned, look
ing pretticr and softer and more be-
witching through the film of lace or
gauze which is tied over them, not SO
much mask rs an ornament. The
veil receives quantity of dust in its
fine meshes, dust which would other
wise slit into tho minnie pores and
laceliko meshes of the superficial
skin. A dainty woman dislikes to
face dust and wind without tho pro-
lection OF her veil. Let her bs ever
so chnrminGly arrayed, she can arrive
nowhere without ieck and stain, and
with her hair in nice order, unless she
dons bit of net or chiffon, and thus
deiios wind and sun.
The wise woman avoids anything
bizarre or outre in her veil. Red or
blds or lilac, OF Opaque white, or
white with dots of black, is in doubt
full taste. Pure sheer white can be
worn with very light and dressy toll
cts, and by very youthful women; but
older persons must shuu this, rs try
ing to tho complexion. and apt TO
have wan and ghostly effect. Black
is always in order, and there is great
variety to be had in it. For journey,
or for drive in rough weather, or O
sail, nothing IN the line of yelling
equals the oldfashioned and sub,
stantial barege, which is useful if not
beautiful. As it makes no pretensions
to anything except capacity for ser.
vice, one should not comment on its
luck oil elegance. Harpcr's Bazaar.

novelty in plain colors has thin disks
in it and should be made up over a
colored foundation.

AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES.
Stanley brought Some from tho Dark
Continent to a New York Man.

BerthOld NeumOegen, who died in
New York the other day, was noted as
an amateur entomologist and spent
over twenty years in forming a remark
able collection of over one hundred
thousand rare and beautiful butterflies.
says the Newark Times.
This was his hobby and all his leis-
ure was devoted 10 improving the coll
lection. There are but two known coll
lections in the world that excel in
variety and number the one gathered
by Mr.. Neumoegen. One is in the pos
session Of the British museum. London.
and the other is in Paris
This work was a labor Of love with
Mr. Neumoegen, and he would spend
hours in room on the top floor of his
residence, which contains the collec-
ton, arranging and rearranginC the
beautiful specimens of the insect world
in which he took so much pride. He
generally kept in stock an immense
number Of butterfi es for the purpose
OF exchange, and these he kept apart
from his collection, not one of which
would he dispose of unless he felt GER
tain Of being able TO replace H.
Butterfly collectors are continually
exchanging specimens and Mr.. Neu-
moegen kept two men employed in re-
ceiving and shipping specimens. The
largest shipment made by him was
eight years ago, when he shipped TWEEN
ty thousand butterflies TO Europe.
Livingstone, the great African ex-
plorer, furnished Mr. Neumoegen with
some of his rarest specimens Others
were furnished by Henry NJ. Stanley,
Lieut. Schwatka and members of the
Greedy relief expedition. Among them
were'' butterflies from Franklia bav.
from the shores of Greenland, from
Lakes Tanganyil1a and Victoria Nyan-
"a, and from Labrador Thibet, Alaska,
China, Siberia, Turkestan and KANT
chatka and from the Himalayas and

LUNAR PHOTOGRAPHS.
The Largest Yet Taken Are Reported
from Paris.

The observatory Of Paris possesses a
telescope by means of which photo
graphs Of celestial bodies OF renarka-
BILE size and clearness can he taken.
BY the aid Of this great instrument,
says the Philadelphia Press, the as
trOnomers Of the observatory have just
taken series Of photographs of tho
moons surface which are said 20 be the
largest ever obtained.
The value of the lunar photographs Is
very great TO astronomers Formerly
they went 20 infinite trouble In sketch-
ing aspects of the moon, and two per-
sons seldom produced drawings of the
same thing which were not contra
dictory. The incessant changes in the
moons surface caused by the rays
of the sun complicated the drapghts-
mans task. The most detailed chart
of the moon ever obtained was of a
diameter Of 9 feet. j. Schmidt, II the
observatory of Athens, passed the years
from $40 70 ls74 in completing it.
The Photographic method alone gives
indisputable results No details es-
cape and the proofs agree absolutely.
The subsequent enlargement gives a
photograph Of about the same size as
the largest charts OF the moon made by
hand. The portion of the moons sur
face photographed is remarkable for a
great series Of craters, which pass from
the center - the south of the earth's
satellite. AT the bottom of the photo
graph is the great circle of Ptolemaeus,
of which the actual diameter on the
moons surface is estimated to be l24
miles. The height of its circular ram
part Is said To be IL 700 feet.
Immediately above is Alphonsus. SIS
miles in diameter, with central peak
5000 feet high. To the left is Alba
tegnius, with a diameter of 81 miles
and peak toward the northeast $500
feet high. A narrow crater, called AL
petragius, TO the southeast of Alphon-
sus, has depth Of 10, $50 feet. Thebut
is 5000 feet. The photographs will
form part = new complete map of tho
moons surface which it is proposed to

Spontaneous Combustion.

Spontaneous combustion may be defined
as the ignition of inilammahle substances
without the application OF fire or without
obvious cause of increase Of temperature.
Occurrences Of this sort, formerly consid-
cred as being very mysterious, are now ex-
planned by the well understood liability OF
certain substances 10 undergo chemical
changes which develop sufficient heat TO
set them on fire. One OF the great causes
of the spontaneous origin OF fires in fac
tories, drug stores, etc, is the exposure of
fixed oils. When exposed TO light and air.
these oils are disposed TO oxidize. When
undergoing oxidation, they rapidly abb
sorb oxygen and give off carbonic acid gas
and hydrogen, which soon fires any in
hammable substance through which the
oil may be dffused
