wine tavern, telling him to be sure and get as many two-franc pieces as possi- ble The assistant soon returned with the change, and the official uttered the words, T thought so.' as he raked in many of the silver coins that he had carefully marked. This showed him that the majority of the people in his district who had received their share out of the imperial donation had gone straight from the relieving office to the public house, and had, no doubt, spent the whole or the greater part of the money received by them in drinking long life to the Czar
 This incident will tend to discourage even royal bounty. But doubtless those who spent the money for drink rather than food would argue that true chari- ty includes the former as well as the latter, and that they used the money for what they needed most

osman Digna, who for years has been giving the British trouble on the upper Nile. Is, according to the Pail Mall Ga zette, really a Sootchman named George Nlsbet. He was born in Rouen of a Glasgow father, who in lS4S eml- grated to Egypt, where he died. His widow married 8 Turk named Osman, who adopted her son and made him heir to his slave business. George Mis- bet took the name of Osman Ali and af- ter being educated at the military acad- emy, where he was the intimate friend of the late Arabi Pasha, became a slave trader. The harm done to his business by the English and French in reference in Egypt, and the fall of Arabi Pasha, turned him against his former countrymen. He must be over sixty years of age now.

=. THE HOMTNG INSTINCT.

A correspondent familiar with the Central American forests states that the Indians there rely on experience to lind their path. MT. Seous, on the other hand, declares that there is one faculty which the Bushmen possess in remarkable degree, which enables them to find their way, by day or night, through level, painless forests, where there are no landmarks whatever to any point they wish to reach where they have ever been before" This is the looming instinct" exactly as we see it developed in animals, and seems exactly to coincide with the kind of mental projection of the attention to definite known point, which the sense ot direction" supposes. There is no- thing in the observed phenomena of the successful homing of the wild man in the forest to contradict the assumption that when once he has mentally fixed the point at which he desires to arrive, he keeps it before him in his mental vision, and goes for it" without con- scious reference to particular landmark, tokens, or signs. It Is open to him to use all these, as the traveller uses the stars when crossing the desert by night; but we believe that In many eases the "homing" man projects himself by q mental effort, which abstracts lia at- tention from landmarks, yet carries him surely to the goal
 A believer in the doctrines expounded by certain members of the Psychical Society would probably say that the Bushman abandoned himself to the directions of his sublminal self, went forward like a homing pigeon. The best authenticated cases of distant migrations which form the last group of facts in the chain of the passage and return, for example, the homing Of Australian birds over one thousand miles of interluent ocean to the islands of New Zealand do not seem very far removed in kind from those of the Bush men, or the isolated cases of the return of untrained pigeons from distance. No one acquainted with the recent records of migration claims to have discovered a solution of the faculty Of return to a given spot across the open seas What guides the old birds is the problem at present offered for solution. The case of the young, who are said to travel back to their parents home be- fore these start on their journey, we must set aside at present, until it can be proved that the route and time of their migration are separate and dis tinct.
 But given that the blrc flying from Australia to New Zealand, knows. like the Bushman, the place to which it desires to go, the graduated instances of the exercise of the faculty which accomplishes this desire hint the di- rection in which the answer must be sought. If a civilized Englishman, i planted on the sea-sands, can, when
 blindfolded, walk for some fifty yards
 almost straight in the direction of a point on which he has previously fixed i his gaze we must assume that he has
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-10-18

the sense of direction" In it's rudiment- ary form. The ability to do this de- bends, first, on the actual or mental selection of a point to aim at; secondly, on a sensihility to any deviation from the straight line towards this point. This sensibillty is subjective and not objective, and is only liable to dis traction and disturbance by landmarks. It should work best in a vacuum. The migrating bird, as it launches itself from the land into the high air enjoys a high degree of freedom from these suggestions and hints to the reason supplied by material objects. In its flight by night the isolation from phy- sical reminders between the starting point and the goal is almost complete; and it should be noted that the main source of error to the birds is precisely the occurrence of these material signs,
 such as the lighthouse on Heligoland and other beacons set in the sea-Lon- don Spectator.

She rubs the scalp carefully, parting the hair in different places, but she would not think of wasting the natural oil by washing the hair and yet you remember how we used to wash our locks and dry them in the sun every week if we expected to attain the de- sird fluff.
 The current fashionable fancies in hair dressing are in favor of the wo- men whose locks are long and plenti- ful, but here are two cultures for heads not so literally supplied In the first the hair was waved and ar ranged in loose coils and puffs in back Directly on top it formed a loop rein forced by a pretty ornament of black velvet and jet. In the other short wavy hair was arranged in puffs at the sides and in fluffy curls in back, while at the top came a double puff. one on top of the other. Two combs were placed among the curls in front
 With women whose hair is abundant the pompadour still holds it's own. With it the hat must be worn back from the head, and so since most of us prefer the doWn-tipped hat, the pompadour is not the most popular head-dress, ex- cept for dress occasions. Smooth glossy hair arranged to make the head seem weighted by the wealth of shin ing tresses, is the hair that just now we all wish we had. Dark hair is voted the prettiest though red remains always the most effective. Side combs of heavy cut tortoise are still used to hold side hair and nape locks; indeed, the coil should be surrounded by combs. Solid gold and solid silver are used, and cut jet is an innovation. Jeweled side combs are no longer worn except for full dress.

That is an unpleasant and significant story which is told about some of the money which the Czar of Russia gave to the poor of Paris. When he made his visit to Paris he gave $16,000 to be distributed among "the outside poor" The money was distributed in accord ance with the Czar's directions, and one of the officials who did the distrib-
 uting took it into his head to mark the pieces of money given to destitute ap- pHcants for aims, who were to receive two francs each out of the imperial fund. Some days after the distribution
 the official sent an assistant to change Q thousand franc note at the nearest

 FASHION NOTES.
Fashions Favor Abundant Locks

Fashionable women arc using hair dressing again, so though he admires her gleaming hair he must let her alone. The time is gone when he might dare to let his fingers stray among the pretty curls. The gloss now may not all the result of brushing, and even if it is, the gloss is ol-natural oil, to be sure if the result of the brush-but just as good if out of bottle. The belle now does not wash her hair, but brushes it and wipes off each strand with a towel dipped in some dressing

Revenge is sweet to some people. It is related that the personal enemy of a man buried a few miles out from Detroit has actually raised Q hill of pumpkins on the grave of his former neighbor this year. There was once great rivalry between the two as to which of them should get the prize for the big pumpkin and the big squash at the county fair, and the dead man is charged with having once destroyed his neighbours crop in the night, when it seemed evident that the neighbor was going to beat him out in the contest. The neighbor vowed that he would get even by growing pumpkins on his ri- Nars grave, and now be has done it.
