 For some years back the seventy boys and girls of Tone of the royal philanthropic institutions in Copenha- gen, have been carefully weighed every day in groups of fifteen and un- der. It was proved that the children gained weight more in autumn and the early part of December than at any other time of the year. From De- cember until the end of April there is scarcely any increase in weight. More remarkable still, there is a dim Snution till the end of summer.
 A friend of the AS You Like 1t man. <noticing veils coming into fash ion again, says that they are great beautifers, but in the selection of them great care is necessary. Care Snpt only that they should be an i'm
 brovement to the looks of the face, a
 harmonizing finish to the toilet, but
 Ehat they shall not injre the eyes,
 (which are. at least, none too strong,
 and may be easily and irreparably in
 ured. Black Chenille dotted wells
 are very fattering, but the dots must not come before the eyes; few alarge dots are better than net close

 5lce and a prominent bachelor who
 happened to be in the place, on bus1-
 hess had call at noon to-day from a
 ady phrenologist, who wanted to tell
 hem all about the good and bad
 blnts of their makeup for 50 cents
 hch; but none of them cared to be en-
 ghtened on the subject. She took a
 teat shine to the ''devlI, who did lue < liking for all hands. and assured him
 hat if he would allow her to operate
 bon him he would be pleased at the
 esult, adding that she knew by look
 hg at him that the strong points of
 lis character were far in excess of the
 weaker ones and that both made up a
 ery happy combination; but she plead
 gd in vain, and seeing he was immuta-
 le she turned her attention to the
 bachelor, who brushed her aside with
 he remark that the women folks
 Knew absolutely nothing about him
 hnd that he intended to keep them In
 he dark as long as he could. This amused the disciple of Fowler SO that she laughed at the humor of it and left &acting as If she felt like saying that she hoped to see the day when con- gross will pass a law imposing a heavy tax on every bachelor in the 1country.
 
 The Meneely Bell company, of Troy, N. F., has orders for a 5,000-pound l 3bell, upon which will be struck the
 hours and half-hours by a hammer weighing 125 pounds. This bell is to

Ihe point of the minute hand moves five feet.a minute, Also a globe thirty inches in diameter will revolye Ievery twenty-four hours. The band ] Showing the equator is divided into hours, so that at glance one may zdetermine in what part of the world 3is, daylight, and time at any part of the world.
