Frout Door Mirrors.

Recently in passing through pos,
sibly the prettiest village in the Cots.
wolds, 1 saw an excellent idea that
might with advantage be introduced
in London and elsewhere. Within the
knocker on the front door-which. in
this instance, was about on a level
with the face Of the visitor-was
placed a small convex mirror. Sup
posing the visitor is paying a call of
either congratulatlon or coincidence,
how advantageous must it be to put
the right expression on his counte-
nance-either festive or doleful--be-
fore he knocks at the door.-London

Color of scots, lair.

A curious investigation reported to
the British Association traces the Ori.
gin Of complexion by the surnames.
1t was based, according to a contem-
porary, on an examination Of 14,5G1
school children OF East Aberdeenshre,
and a calculation 'of the pigmentatlon
OF the hair and eyes for Gfty-nine most
frequent surnames. The darkest hair
and eyes belong to surnames common
in fishing communities, verifying the
tradition that the fishing population Of
East Scotland is of Belgian origin. The
fermentation of Highland surnames
corresponds closest with that Of theip
districts Of origin. The surnames OF
Wallace, Pirie, Grant, Park and Bir.
ME have strong blond tendencies;
those of Cordiner, Crulkshank, ste.
phen, Strachan, Buchan, Paterson and
Whyte are darkest. and Rennie Scott,
Grant and Thompson show most red
hair-London Daily Graphic

sunnite and shIIte Hair Growth.

The MahOmetan religion is divided
into two principal sects, the Sunnites
and the Shiites, The members Of these
sects can be readily Disseminated by
the fashion in which the hair grows
on their arms, for while on those Of
the Sunnltes the growth turns down
ward from shoulder to wrist on the
interior side and upward from wrist tc
shoulder posteriorly the hair on the
Shiite arms presents the contrary ap
pearance on both sides Of the arms.
This singular divergence is produced
by the manner Of washing their arms
as prescribed by the tenets Of the sects
respectively for while Sunnites hold
it orthodox to stroke their arms, after
washing them, from shoulder to wrist
on front and from wrist to shoulder on
the back, the Shiites abhor this prac'
tice and stroke their arms in the oppo-
site ways, and hence the two directions
in which the hair is seen to grow OIL
the arms Of the two sects.-The Ian

Bog Slide in Ireland.

Following q phenomenal rainfall a
terrible bog slip occurred the other
day near Liscannor, on the west
coast Of Glare, and within a quarter
Of a mile Of the scene OF last years
slide, when two lives were lost. The
slip began on the Carhudir Hills,
says the London Graphic, and the
immense mass Of seml-huid bog flowed
four miles through the country until
it discharged itself into Derry River
The moving mass swept away hay
ricks, peat stacks, and a number Of
cows and pigs, which were lost. A
farming family, named Killoughry,
We're compelled to escape by the up
per windows, and this they did with
difficulty. Several people are practical

ing covered with the peaty moisture

Fancy Household Linen.

The most recent showings of fancy
household linens are veritable dreams
of beauty. Colored linen embroidered
on white ground is shown as a
change from the all white kinds. These
pieces are in centres, doilies, bureau
scarfs, etc, to match special color
schemes. Exquisite table sets of cloth
and napkins have the linen cut out in
spaces and squares Of filet and Venice
lace set in alternately.

The Red Hunting Coat.

The origin of the red coat is mys-
terry. There is a story told that one
of the early Henrys was so enamored
with the sport of fox hunting as to or
dain it to be a royal sport, and the red
coat was worn in consequence" This,
however has been pointed at as alb
surd as in those days scarlet was not
a royal livery at all. One thing there
can be no doubt about, and that is that
the scarlet coat is very popular for
those who hunt regularly, And it
must be confessed that it adds pictur.
esQueness to the scene. The question
of color seems to be very much a mat
ter Of taste; it is looked upon as an in
dlcation Of social position. In the alb
stract any one can don the pink, If so
desired, but it is considered out of
taste for any one to adopt that color
If he does not literally subscribe to
the hunt fund. The black coat is con.
sidered to come next in social position,
and the ordinary mufti garment for
those whose subscription Is very sm9'
indeed.-TailOr and Cutter.

LAKE STURGEON DYING OUT.
Species is Almost Extinct and Caviar II
Scarce.

Species is Almost Extinct and Caviar 10
Scarce.
The sturgeon family of fish Is prac-
dcally extinct so far as the lakes of
North America are concerned, and
makers Of caviar are wondering what
will fill their cans in the future. With
he passing away Of the sturgeon
comes the announcement that none
out cultivated Holsters now exist
When fish merchants took stock with
:he closing Of the season for the Great
Lakes they discovered that one Of
he former substitutes for whitefish
and trout during the months CT No
gember, when none Of these varieties
Of the fnny tribe is allowed to be
;aken from the lakes, was missing.
There is no fresh sturgeon to be had.
The public is already provided with
substitute for smoked sturgeon in
he meat Of the Mississippi River cat
ash. True, the flesh Of the catfish is
about as tenacious as rubber hose, but
t looks good. Then many persons
prefer the smoked halibut of the Pa
cific Ocean.
The history Of the discovery, in
reduction into the market and ex-
.inctlon Of sturgeon in American lakes
dates back twenty-five years. Then
the sturgeon was first placed on the
market, though few persons ate
them. The flesh was not considered
very dainty. The big fish could be
taken from Lake Erie by the wagon
oad and sold at low price.
In fact, the price was so low that
few persons engaged in catching the
fish. Then some one discovered that
the fish was more salable when
smoked. Thousands Of the fish were
emoked and palmed off on the credu-
lous public as smoked halibut, which
was quite expensive. The increase
In supply Of halibut cut off the price Of
sturgeon to such an extent that the
fishermen who had been dealing in
sturgeon were threatened with bank
ruptcy.
1t was about this time that caviar
became very popular with Americans.
Caviar is made from the roe, or eggs,
Of sturgeon, but it had been supposed
until some fifteen years ago that the
roe Of the sturgeon from Russian
seas was the only kind for cavier.
Some one discovered that the roe of
American sturgeon made quite as
good caviar as did the Russian fish.
That was the beginning Of the end of
the sturgeon tribe. The great fish
were hauled in by the boat load, and
ninety-fve per cent. Of those taken
were females full Of roe. Caviar be-
came cheaper and sturgeon became
dearer. From a fraction of a cent a
pound the fish advanced to twen-
ty-two cents a pound. Even at the
price the Great Lakes failed to pro-
duce the coveted fish. Then recourse
was had to the lakes of Manitoba,
Canada.
Now the sturgeon have been ami
hilated almost entirely. AS the sup
ply of this family became scarcer some
one started to substitute Mississippi
River catfish. When this rubbery fish
is dressed and smoked it looks exact
ly like smoked sturgeon. on.-Chicago

COST OF A MANS WARDROBE.
It Amounts to Much Less Than He Paya
For Food.

SSSi VI MANS WAHDRObEs
It Amounts to Much Less Than He Paya
For Food.
Comparatively, what a man wears
does not cost so much during a life
lime when you come to think of it,"
said an observant citizen, "and as a
matter Of fact the average l suppose
VIII be surprised 10y the figures OF
course the man who attempts to keep
up with the procession Of the ultra.
tashionables must necessarily spend
a good sum Of money during his life
tine He must humor the changing
moods Of the men who set the pace
in fashion. He must have the very
latest thing out. His coat must be
the proper cut, his hat the proper
shape, his trousers just so and his
tie the proper color. But there are
many men in the world who cannot
pay so much respect to fashion, and
hence we may strike an average be.
tween the two extremes in dress.
I'VE will put the case alphabetically
and assume that a man lives to be
thirty-tve years Of age. We will as.
sumo that he will wear the clothes
of a grown man for this length Of
time, On an average, | suppose
man will wear out six shirts during
the year, or a total of 210 in life
time. Suppose he pays seventy.five
cents each for them. This would be
$3.50 a year, or $15750 that he would
pay out in a lifetime of thirty-five
years. He would wear twelve col.
lars a year, of 410 in thirty-fve years,
and if he wore the cheaper grade OF
collars, lucent collars, he would
spend $63 in thirty-fye years. Allow
ing two whole suits Of clothes year.
and at the average of 500 a suit he
would spend in this way $1400 in
thirty-five years. II we allow him an
average Of four suits Of underwear a
year, he would need 40 suits, and at
the nominal price Of 81 a suit they
would cost him $140 in thirty-five
years Two hats every twelve months
would mean total Of seventy hats,
and If he paid an average Of So each
FOR them the total number would cost
him S210. His shoes, allowing him
two pairs year, and fixing the cost
at 81 a pair, would cost him $3.50 in
lifetime Now, on the basis of cal
culatiOn, a man would spend about
$3.50 in a lifetime for clothes. There
are, Of course, many men who spend
much more than this amount and there
are many men who spend much less.
But this calculation may be taken as
Il reasonable average.
ut will be observed that neckties,
socks, suspenders, garters and things
OF that sort are not taken into con-
sideraton. Laundry bills, cleaning,
mending and other things which in
crease the cost Of mans wearing
apparel are not considered. These
costs would probably double the fig
ures, and in some instances, as in the
case Of shirts and collars, the origi-
nal cost of the article would be moth
ing in comparison to the cost Of keep
ing them.
But taking all things into consider
alton, a mans wearing apparel will
cost him less than the food that he
eats. Suppose man is allowed three
meals each day at the nominal cost
of twenty-five cents a meal, in thirty
five years he would spend about S9450
for food, or about four times the
amount he would spend for clothes"

Some fresh water fishes can live in
salt water, but others cannot. The
carp, for example, Is found in the
Caspian Sea as well as its afiiuents,
but the fresh water eel dies in salt
water. Experiments have recently
been made by NJ. Colollian, and
brought before the Society Of Biology,
France, with carp and tench in water
artifcially salted by the addition of
ten to twelve grammes Of common
salt per litre, that is to say, about
half the proportion Of sea water a
fish which can live for twenty-four
hours in salt water is considered able
to bear it permanently and he found
that his tench and carp could stand
ten grammes per litre but not twelve
or thirteen grammes. Another expert
menter, M. Larbaletier, found that
fresh water fish could live in strong
er solution Of salt if they were first
accustomed to it by degrees. BY in
creasing the proportion Of salt from
FIVE grammes to fourteen per litre
in the course of twenty-seven days, he
kept them alive.

The internal heat Of the earth is a
survival of the time when 1t was a
glowing ball and was turning on its
axis with a velocity four times as
great as at present. 1t was slowed
down principally by the action Of the
tides, internal and external, these be-
ing one of the results Of the moons
attraction.
The rotation Of the moon in such a
way that is shows to us always the
same face was shown to be the conse-
quence Of the tides in the molten moon
due to the attraction Of the earth.
The earth has not surrendered itself
to the tides caused by the moon be-
cause tliey are relatively so feeble.
1t will, however, without doubt, ulti-
mately present always the same face
TO the moon.
A French scientist, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, has just drawn public
attention to certain phenomena which
show that the truism extremes
meet" applies with as much force to
physical nature as to human character.
He relates that in the mountains near
Pontgibaud, in Auvergue, there is
formed in the hottest part Of every
summer a most singular ice deposit
which has no existence in winter. The
local peasantry have never evlnced
any acute interest in the scientific eX-
PLANTATION Of this remarkable natural
peculiarity, but they have always,
from the first, turned it to practical
advantage by using the spot for cold
storage for the cheese which is the
staple product Of the district.
No weather belief is more absurd
than that of a wet moon" and dry
MOON There is no connection be-
tween the position of the moons
horns and the rainfall, unless the
same weather recurs ut the same time
each year, for, as A. X Bartlett has
lately taken the trouble to explain,
the crescent moon always appears
upon its back" in spring, near the
vernal equinox, and upon its end" in
autumn, near the autumnal equinox.
The change Of direction in which the
horns are turned depends upon the
difference in declination of the sun
and moon. If the moon be farther
north than the sun after the new, the
sunlight strikes under her, and she
appears with her horns upturned; but
If she appears south the light reaches
around her disk to the northward and
her horns appear nearly vertical. The
line joining the two horns is always
at right angles to a line joining the
sun and the moon.
