In Valencia, on the fete days, the
little girls have their hair dressed just
exactly like that of their older sisters,
having the front locks parted and
coiled up into wheel at each temple,
and the back hair deliberately ar
ranged from the nape of the neck to
few inches above the head, the
couture being held secure by fancy
pins.

Weather and Suicides.

Suicide travels in waves like various
kinds of crime, and in large cities
they come in rapid succession. Dull
November has been called the suicide
month, but August shows larger
number the past year, and it is believ-

deal to- do with suicides. In extreme
cold weather thcse are few suicides

Whining is a poor investment for a

aaaaeitx Of Blind Horses.

The way in which blind horses can
go about without getting into more
difficulties than they ordinarily do is
very remarkable. They rarely, II ever,
hit their heads against fence or stone
wall. They will slide of when they
come near one. 1t appears from care
full observation that 1t is neither shade
nor shelter which warns them of the
danger On IN absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior Is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for. when
driving them, they will poke their
heads downward In search of water
dfty yards before they come to a
stream crossing the roadway. 1t can
not be an abnormally developed sense
Of hearing which leads them to do this,
for they will act alike though the wa
ter be a stagnant pool. Men who have
been blind for any great length Of time
develop somewhat similar instincts to
blind horses.

French Smiles For "prunk."

The French have some interesting
Smiles Of their own corresponding to
the English drunk as LORD or
"drunk as wheelbarros~,' says u
London writer. The :lost generally
recognized one in the case OF "ivre,"
the less extreme and less vulgar word
for drunk" IS "iyre CONNIE une soupe'
-"soupe" meaning the piece Of bread
eaten with soup as well as the soup It
self, and bouillon soaked piece Of
bread Offering natural simile for sat
uration. When the less delicate ''sour
Is used instead Of ''ivre," tho French
man may speak Of being as drunk as
an ass. COW. u Swiss or thrush.
The allusion in the last case Is to the
fondness Of thrnshes for grapes, which
are said Mt vintage time to make them
unsteady In their flight.
