Ways of the Dressmaker.

A curious AreSsmaklng custom was
revealed in case tried III London,
and it would be interesting to know if
similar practices prevail elsewhere. \
woman ordered IL dress from Il dress
maker and then refused to pay the bill
on the ground that the dress did not
fit-a very common excuse ar1Org

The bill was for $50 for material and
making, and the dressmaker in de
Tending her charges explained that
she had two establishments. one at
Putney and the other on Manchester
street The dress in question had been
made at Putney, but if it had been
made at the Manchester street estab-
lishment she would have charged about
S75, although there would have been
no difference whatever in material or
workmanship. Prices, she said, were
regulated by locality, and, although
Putney is socially irreproachable, it
is not quite equal to Manchester street
The price of a dress is therefore in
dicative of geographical location rather
than of quality, and for this side light
on feminine manners and customs we
may be duly acknowledgements.

Perjury Penalties.

Perjury, besides being one of the
Oldest of offenses in the catalogue of
crime, has always been very severely
punished. With the advance Of civili-
zation, however, fiendish punishments
have been replaced by more humane if
still severe penalties. In the days C
the Roman empire any one who com
mitted perjury was thrown from
precipice, while the Greeks branded
their false swearers. 1t is interesting
to note that when the latter embraced
the Christian religion the punishment
was altered to that of having the
tongue cut out, Il sort of punishment
which was considered to fit the crime
in the early centuries. In the middl'
ages some countries adopted the sys-
tenn of giving the perjurer the punish
ment for the crime he falsely accused
another of. Thus if he swore neigh
Dor had committed murder and the
charge was disproved the perjurer
would be sentenced to death, and the
other penalties of the penal code were
exacted for the particular crime al

The Sun From a Balloon.

At the height of two miles the sun
shines with a fierce intensity unknown
below, where the dust and the denseI
air scatter the rays. which, thus diff
fused. lose their intensity while illu'
mining every nook and corner of our
houses. At heights exceeding five miles
this diffuscd light is mostly gone, and
the SIN shines a glowing ball, sharply
outlined in sky of which the blue is
so dark as to approach blackness. AT
the outer limits of the atmosphere the
sun would appear brilliant star of
massive size among other stars and If
one stepped from its burning rays into
shadow he would enter Egyptian dark
ness. At the height of a mile and a
half we found it necessary to shelter
our faces to prevent sunburn, although
the air around us was but little warm
er than that of the previous night, be-
ing about 40 degrees. AS the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began to cool
and sink we were obliged to throw out
much sand, casting it away Il scoopful
at time, and just after sunset it was
even necessary to empty two or three
bags at once.-H. II. Clayton in Allan

Tho Insect and the Net.

1t has been known for long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as its body, whereas a bird will
go through a mesh of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why it stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through,
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things of that kind.
They say that the eye of the insect is
made up of many facets, so that the
net looks to it like continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore it stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping.
To the eye of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible, and it goes
through without hesitation.
