Lost bx a TOY Ralloon.

Diamonds and other jewels have been
lost in all sorts Of queer ways, but in
none more u2usual than the accident
mentioned n the Boston Transcript, by
which diamond brooch was snatched
from the owners dress and left some

4 young woman was travelling by
rail through Kansas. st Kinsley, where
the train made a considerable stop, g
fair was in progress. Here the young
vur2an bought OF a peddler q toy bal
loon for a little girl who had won her
fancy.
The child was delighted with the
rlaytbing, and as they rode along she
eaatted with her new friend and pulled
the balloon up and down. At length
she playfully fastened the string to the
lady's diamond brooch.
The train was rounding curve at
the moment, and strong gust of air
came through the car. The balloon was
carried out through the open window.
The sudden jerk on the string loosened
the brooch, and away it sailed.
The jewel was so valuable that the
young woman offered reward Of $500
for its recovery. Spurred by this in

Assuming Husbands Names.

The practice of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage. &C.
cording to DR.. Brewer, originated from
a Roman custom and became the con-
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Cctavia, married
to Pompey and Cicero. were called by
the Romans Julia Of Penpey, Octavia
of Cicero, and in latter times married
women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of." Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
sixteenth and even at the beginning Of
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful. since We find Catha-
rfne Pau so signing herself after she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey {not
Dudley), Arabella Stuart (not Sey-
mour). etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule Of law SO far bacE
as Bracton (died 1868, and it was de
cided in the case OF Bon versus Smith,
in the reign Of Elizabeth, that 4 woman
By marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name Of her hus-
band. Altogether the custom is involV-
ed in much obscurity.

Holy Cent OF T-eyex.

The holy coat preserved at Ireves. IN
Germany. is claimed TO be the seamless
garment worn by Christ and for Which
the Roman soldiers cast lots during the
cruc;fxion. 1t is q tunie about five feet
long. cut narrow at the shoulders and
gradually widening toward the knees.
Many miracles are said to have been
performed by this robe.
It's history for the last 100 years is
clear enough, but darkness shrouds
the story Of the relic prior to the
twelfth century. The Catholic church
relies for proof OF its authenticity upon
a tradition that it was one Of q chest
ful Of relics sent as 4 gift to the
church at Treves by the Empress Hell
ena. She is said to have found the
coat al Jerusalem while in search OF
the true cross.
A legend says that in the ninth cen
tury the holy coat was concealed FROM
the Normans in 4 crypt OF the cathe-
oral. There it remained forgotten Until
1896, when it was rediscoyered and
placed in the high altar

Tho Blush,

From the purely artistic point Of
view the power to blush is one of the
most requisite and commendable Of
physical endowments. Old men are
past b:ushing; very young children.
idiots ard the lower animals cannot
blush; but it appears that some tribes
ktill on the outskirts Of barbarism pre-
ge,ve the faculty to an astonishing de-
gree.
The blush is a grace Of life. a mark
of vitality and Of youthfulness. 1t be-
tokens q great cerebral sensibility sec
cnGed 5y q perfectly sensitive skin. BY
ii sort OF instinct for personal defense
at the slightest attack-a word or
mere clance-there is g gush Of energy.
I say energy, and not emotion. The
heart beats no faster, but a signal
from the brain sends u rush Of all the
SPARE blood TO the skin, and, owing to
the congestion Of the small blood yes
sells. an extraordinary glow spreads
over the face to the tips of the ear. to
the roots Of the hair. to the throat
sometimes even to the top of the
bosom.
