THE SCILLY ISLANDS. They Have but Three Seamons-Spring. Summer and Autumn. The climate of the Scilly islands is the most equable in Great Britain. It ranges on an average from 4( degrees to GO degrees. On the coldest day it is warm and on the hottest it Is cool. There are only three seasons in Scilly of four months each-spring, summer and autunir. When the autumn ends spring commences. There Is no great height in the islands. The highest land In Bryher Is only 133 feet abve sea level. although the telegraph tower built on St. Mary's reaches a height of 15S feet. but the rock scenery of the en tire group of these islands is remark able. There are rocks fantastic. jagged. peaked, toothed, serrated; rocks resem bling living creatures and others sug gestive of primeval vastness and un couthnc.; some grandly castleated. others Like a great lion's cheek teeth. Those on the peninsula of Penninis. especially If they are seen in mist, Menawar (pronounced man-of-war), the Maiden Bower, Mincarlo, Shipman's Head, the Haycocks at Annet and many others are strikingly grand. The curious resemblance to primeval ani mal forms has given rise to many of the names of these rocks and certainly many are Like a great sea beast, crawled forth to sun itself, while there are "elephants' tusks," "monks' cowls," "pipers' holes," "giants' castles," "pulpit rocks," etc. London Spectator. HAIR AND COLOR. Red Is Much Nearer Allied to Black Than to Blond. The color of the hair, says the Grand Magazine, is usually transmitted from parents to child. This is especially true when both parents have the same com plexion. Instances, however, are not uncommon where children have hair black as ebony, while the hair of both parens Is a burning red. Instead of disproving the theory that a child takes after its parents, so far as the color of the hair is concerned, this fact, it has now been ascertained, is all in favor of the doctrine. red hair, in fact, is by Its structure and composition much nearer to black hair than to blond. Very often if the hair of a very dark complexioned person be examined at tentively a few quite red hairs will be detected in the mass. On the other hand, it would be time wasted to seek for black hairs in the locks of a fair person. Similarly it is not infrequent to notice children whose hair, red at birth, becomes as they grow older quite dark. When, too, after some serious illness, the production of the coloring pigment of the hair falls off, black hair becomes not blond, but red. Fair hair, which to a casual eye appears to have much more affinity to red hair than to black, Is, on the contrary, quite dis tinct. Valued Religious Relics. The collection of religious relics to be seen in the church of the Corsicant village of Sisco is utdoubtedly unique. The inhabitants of this pretty little place are exceedingly devout and very simple, which probably accounts for the possession of such a remarkable collection. A writer in L'Independence Beige gives the following list of the principal items: The horn used by Mo ses to call together the children of Is rael while in the desert, a tuft of that red hair which was the pride of Esau and the despair of Jacob, a piece of the nail of the little toe of the left foot -the statement is very precise-of Enoch, the patriarch; the bib worn by the infant Jesus, the curb and crupper of the ass that tak the holy family in to Egypt and several relics of various saints. Two Laymen Have Been Popes. The canon law does not prescribe that the pope must be a cardinal or even a cleric. Nevertheless since the election of Urban VI. in 1378 the suc cessful candidates have belonged to the members of the sacred college, al though as late as 1758 a noncarlnal was voted for several times. At least two laymen-John XIX. (1024) and Ad rian V. (1276)--have occupied the papal throne, an~d there Is today nothing to prevent laymen from being created cardinals, although they are not enti tied to vote in the conclave unless they can produce a special permit from the late pope.________ Beef and Brawn. It is said of Kean, the actor, that he ate mutton before playing the part of lover, beef before playing that of mur derer and pork before assuming the character of a tyrant. That may be merely a story or a fact, but It Is a well known truth that beef will enable more exhausting muscular work to be done than will mutton, so there may be something in the "roast beef of old England." In the eighteenth century this was one of the English "gods." His Motive. Critic-I have seen many s med cow on green grass, but this is the first time I ever saw a green cow on red grass. Is It nn implressionistic depar ture? Irish Painter-Not at all; it's a patriotic impulse-I wanted to keep the green above the red.-Exchange. Quite the Contrary. "I understand that drinking is one of your husband's failings." "You have been misinformed," said the wife severely; "It is his most pro nounced success." The Cost of It. Dolly-Nell says that her engagement ring cost $100. Polly-Perhaps she meant that she spent as much as that entertaining the young man before she got it. Not if as Rich as Rockefeller. If vou had all the wealth of Rocke 'eller, the Stand~ard Oil magnate, you ~ouldl not buy a better medicine for Owei complaints than ('hamberlamn's ~olic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. he most eminent physician can not >rescribe a better preparation for colic ,d diarrhoea, both for children and dults.

Sold by Obear A SABBATARIAN. Result of a Doctor's Compact With an Insane Patient. Dr. A. did not believe in forcible re straint for the insane. Therefore, as head of an Insane asylum where per sonal influence was made to take the place of bolts and bars and shackles. he was kept a.busy man. One patient in particular was a young boy continu ally complained of at headquarters be cause he refused to wear his elothing. preferring to tear it into rags. Dr. A. remonstrated -in vain, then thought out a plan of diplomacy, with which he approached his patient. "John," said he, "I find I am in need of a boy and thought you might like to take. the position. I want to engage a boy not to tear clothes. Do you think you could do that work?" "Yes. I could," said John. "Very well. What wages will you ask?" "Twopence a day." The bargain was closed on the spot, Johi's destroyed clothing having cost the asylum pounds where his wages were pennies. From Monday to Satur day John was a model laborer, receiv ing at the end of each day his wage with the other workmen about the asy lum. Sunday came, and with It John's mania. He had not a whole rag on his back when Dr. A. was called upon to speak to him. "How did this happen, John?" he asked. "Weren't you engaged to work for me? You have broken your con tract." "I have not, sir," asserted John, with warmth. "Didn't I work for you all the week? Today's Sunday, and I'll be hanged if I work for any man on Sun day."-Pearson's Magazine. CAVE OF THE WINDS. The Vision Carved In Stone Under the Hills of Dakota. The great wind cave has the form of an eight story house, each story, or stratum, containing a. distinct forma tion of Its own and each containing chambers of a size and magnificence of decoration such as have never been found in any subterranean cavern of the world. It Is a dream, a nightmare, a vision, carved in solid stone under the green hills of Dakota, stone as white as the milk the hired man used to give us to drink in the dawn of'a happy June morning, stone as red as the heart of the first bloodroot that you dug in the spring when the world was all spring to you, and stone that is blue with a blue that all the painters who have ever painted Venice have tried to get for generations and have failed. Frozen fouptains are there, white with the leaping foam of untold ages; sculptured cats and horses and great o.onsters to be dreamed about o' nights and feared In dark corners-in the day time, organs built by the hands of giant gnomes for a Titan to play wild hymns of praise upon, a kitchen for the cooking of weird- dishes never thought of up here in the sunshine, all manner and all kinds of rooms, ninety miles of them, down there under the hoofs of the gallant little range horses who pound the grass into hay the year round, up there In South Dakota.-Ex change. Napoleon's Inic Wiper. Napoleon was a- hero to his valet, Constant, though he sadly marred the servant's effort to dress him neatly. Said the valet: His breeches were always of white cashmere. But two hours after leaving hisq chamber It often happened that they were all spotted with ink, thanks to his habit of wiping his pen on them and shaking ink all around him by striking his pen against the table. How ever, as he dressed in the morning for the whole day, he did not change his toilet on that account. but remained in this state until night. The whole inside of his boots was lined with white fus tian. Whenever one of his legs itched, he rubbed It with the heel of the boot or shoe with which the other leg~was shod, thus heightening the effect of the spilled ink. An Aggravated Case. Lord Justice Clerk Eskgrove, In sen tencing certain housebreakers, began by explaining the various crimes of which they had been convicted-as sault, robbery and hamesucken, of which last he gave them the etymology. Hte then reminded them that they had attacked the house and robbed It, and so worked gradually up to the'climax, "All this you did, and, God preserve us, joost when they were settin' down to their dlnner!"--Law Notes. A Long Life. To prolong life one should take plen ty of sleep and remember to sleep lying on the right side, indulge In a morning bath in tepid water, take daily exercise in the open air, keep the window of the Isleeping room open all night, take fre quent and short holidays, not be over ambitious and hold one's temper. Considerate Discretion, Stranger-How long since you made an arrest, constable? Constable Hi Medder-Quite a considdyrable speli. I'm goin' a leetle slow 'bout haulin' 'em In jest now. We hain't got bo place to put 'em 'ceptin' Cy Tedder's chicken coop, an' Cy's got a settin' hen on.-Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Fact of It, "It's love that makes the world go 'round," Said the old fashioned senti mentalist. "No," answered Miss Cayenne; "It merely makes some people so dizzy that they think the world is going 'round."-Washington Star. The dawn of the future is announced to such as can read its signs, and wt6 owe ourselves wholly to it.-Mazzinl.
