Russian Sable.

Russian sable owes its warmth aud
gloss to the fact that the longer hairs,
as we'll as the under fur, are absolutely
uniform in size and "section. Thus,
the sable tail makes perfectly proper
toned natural pendant to the skin when
used as a cape, and the whole skin has
the unity of manufactured fabric, with
the other qualities only found in natural
fur This pre-eminence Of sable fur gives
it value in the most minute quantities.
The longer hairs, or surplus pieces of
the fur, are carefully saved ard made
into the best paint brushes, which al
ways keep point" and in the color
mems catalogues the price of these
brushes is only approximately fixed and
varies according to the price Of sables.
Sealskin and beaver fur are not only
softer, but warmer than any of the furs
which, at first sight, seem to approach
them closely in color and texture. Hare
skin can be clipped and dyed so as to re-
semble sealskin, but even if lined with
wool it does not approach the pelagic
fur in warmth or III luster. The wonder
full fneness of the under fur of the seal
causes it to hold minute quantities Of
air in the infinitely small interstices be-
tween the hairs, and while the air in
closed is warmed by contact with the
body the fur is nonconductor to the
cold from without. London Spectator.

C. 4. Sala's Career.


first made the acquaintance of @. A.
Sala about 80 years ago, and l have
known him we'll ever since. always
found him perfect encyclopedia of
knowledge, coupled (Which is rare) with
Il keen sense Of humor. No man proba-
bly, wrote more copy" i'll his life than
he did and few more readable. His
mode of writing was curious. He had u
vast amount of collected notes on all
matters carefully indexed. These no
would consult. Then he would walk up
and down the room for a time, after
which he would write or dictate with
out pause. l have heard him make very
many good speeches, conceived on the
same lines as his articles. He had at
times a strong desire to enter the house
Of commons, but I somewhat doubt
whether he would have succeeded there.
Always occupied on the press and on
the magazines, he managed occasionally
to write a novel. They were really very
good novels, and if he had turned his
attention more exclusively to novel
writing he would have run Charles
Dickens and other masters Of the art
close. In business matters he was a
mere child He earned a great deal of
money, he was not extravaganza, and
vet he never seemed TO have any. IN
his first wife he was fortunate III find
ing not only an amiable and beautiful
woman, but woman of business, and
she was terrible loss to him. 1t is sat

Dog Eating In Mexico.

Schiaparelli.

Scbiaparelli, the astronomer who first
discovered the SO called "canals" of
Mars, did SO with a much smaller tele-
scope than those III use in many other
observatories at that time. And yet he
is very nearsighted man. Garrett T.
Serviss of Brooklyn, in speaking of his
first interview with the eminent Italian,
said that Schiaparelli would hold a Wis
itor's card within five or six inches Of
his eyes in order to decipher it. The sim
gular part of this story is not that a
man with such an infrmity should be
able to Guido other astronomers, for
keenness of vision depends rather upon
the retina than the convexity of the
lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece OF a
telescope can be focused SO as to suit
the latter. But it does seem little odd
that the gifted scientist in question
should habitually refrain from wearing
eyeglasses. Possibly he has a theory as
to the effect of their use upon his visual
powers

Avoid tight fitting hats and collars,
also close fitting caps, unless these DO

that all tho heudgear which is not porous
should be ventilated at top and sides to
allow free current of air.
Never sit or stand with the top Of the
head near gas light or lamp light. The
heat thrown out is apt to paralyze the
scalp tissues and dries up the hair itself.
Don't wash the head oftener than

thrown II pinch of borax. Dry carefully

Beware of the common practice Of

ranging the hair. 1t promotes decompo-
sition and rancidity of the natural oil,
and so leads to 'rotting."
If the hair be naturally dry, apply a

cess of sebaceous secretion by means Of
lather or tepid water and soap bark
(Quitlaya saponaria).
Salt water is most injurious to the
hair, for which reason when sea bath
ing wear an oil cap.
Always treat the scalpas if you loved

The rule to be observed by the hostess
is that she must have as many courses
for her dinner as she has couples pres

that the PROFESSIONS are made with tho
courses, and that the round must be
completed with the end of the dinner.

that the people who are most congenial

Weather Almanacs.

Some of these almanacs rose to a great
popularity on the strength Of one lucky
guess, and I think it is told Of Par
tridge's almanac, or some other Of the
class, that it owed its reputation to a
curious prophecy of extraordinary wealth
er for July 81, when hail, rain, snow,
thunder, etc, We're freely indicated.
Forgetting that the month had 81 days,
the almanac maker had omitted to in
sert the weather prediction for the last
day, and boy was sent from the print
ing Office to know how the space was to
be filled up. The weather prophet was
too busy to attend to him, but at last in
g passion said, "Put down hail, rain,
snow, thunder, anything" and the boy,
taking it literally, told the composition,
who duly set into type the extraordinary
prediction, and which by freak of ma
ture came true and made the fame and
fortune Of the almanac maker. This
story, if not true, is at least ben trovatC
and shows the force Of the bard's state
ment
Our lnclScrcNon sometimes serves US wen
When our deep plots do pail.
Patrick Murphy published popular
weather almanac, and his fame is said
to have commenced by lucky hit il
one of the earlier issues by which he in
dictated which would be the coolest day
Of the year. There is copy Of this al
manac for 1888 in the library of the so
ciety, and some former owner has evi
IDENTIFY taken the trouble to pencil in the
actual weather opposite to that predict
ed. There were, according to this ammo
tation, 50 incorrect forecasts, 81 doubt
full and the rest correct.
This Patrick Murphy was not mere
charlatan. He had a system, and, though
he differed from Sir Isaac Newton and
the Royal Astronomical society, he gave
much study and research to tie subject
of meteorology, as shown by his various
books. There was an Astro-Meteorolog
ical society as late as 1S61.-Nature.
