It is the countenance of a little child about thrco years old lying asleep, with the eyelashes drawn in fine dark lines on the full cheeks. The mouth seems to be slightly uarted, and the lips are delicate* ly tinted. The baby whoso hsud contains thin singular portraiture is the child of Clarke Osborne, a merchant of Roseburg, and Mrs. Osborne declares that the face in the infant's palm is that oi a little girl she lost about thtec months ago.

Twenty five dollars a bird is the penalty, and judgment is demanded for $650 and costs. Doxou is going to sell his residence iu West Ninety-fourth street. He says ho has a lot ot debts to pay,among them his lawyer's fees in the Koch libel suit, and can't afford to keep the property. "But I'm not going to leave the city," he said. "I'll be on hand when the robins nest again."

There is a inouso which has made its abode in a downtown house iu such a strange place aad it has such rogular and peculiar habits that its vagaries are, perhaps, worth reeording. The ceiling of the liquor shop is neatly painted and to protect it from flies, musliu was stretched across the roof of the room. On one side of the room are heavy pillars with Coriothian capitals. The muslin passes just below these capitals, and it is in oue of them that the mouse has made its heme.

At 8 o'clock every evening the mouse leaves its sleeping-place and then ruuning about the muslin, catches such dies us havo found means of getting between tbo ceiling and the muslin, and as those ore fauijr numerous the little creature makes a hearty meal every evening, but flies are cvidcutly not fattening, for the mouse is one of the thinest of its kind, and though a young one, has hardly grown nt ail throughout the summer, and as flies are happily now getting scarce, tho animal will probably be a stunted specimen to the end of its days.-?New York^ Tribune. Always Dying. Life, indeed, consists iu a series ot changes of tissues, and the human econ oiuy is simply as (ar as its material pari is concerned, a machine, and primarily depends on food as the most important factor in keeping it in working order. When it is said that we commence to die as soou as we are born, it of course means that certain parts of the body immediately begin to perish; their existence is ephemeral; they come aud go, are replenished and decay. They are the dying parts of that system of life, which may last a little while, but which must eventually yield to the inexorable law of nature. The nails, the hair, etc., are observable as an instauce of this decay. The sauie rulo applies to every other organ and tissue of the body, though it is not palpable to the nate 1 eye. The skin is always peeling. Tilt food that is taken in the one hour nourishes the system and ejects that which was taken the hour before.?New York News. Shot Dead for Whistling:.

It has.nine by twelve inch cylinders, and can pull a load of forty tons up a grade of one in fifteen on i good hard road. Generally, however, :t has been found that the most economical load for good roads and moderate grades is about twice the weight of the engine, and under such circumstances the largest s'ze will require from 800 to 900 pounds oi coal in ten hours.

Old rags are a familiar instance of this change. Woolen rags are more slowly converted into final products than those of cotton and linen, because they are valuable for intermediate usee. Before they are run to earth they do duty for many forms of cheap clothing. In the United King* don^^B^^j^r>gr^burg^|||dLwia ate in close cet?petition.

Wb m black coats are too far gone to be clobbered or revived they are sent to various countries to be made into caps, Fiance, Russia and Poland requiring them in iar^o quantity. The wornout red tunics of British soldiers almost exclusively go to Holland to cover the chests of stv rdy Dutchmen, who conceive tbein to be a protection against rheumatism. l/niforms of a better description, whether military or liveries, chiefly go to * Africa for the wear of kings and chiefs. It is only after these transformations that the rags, are torn down into shoddy and mungo for inferior cloths. When old woolen rags have reached their fourth stage of degradation, so that they arc unfit for the shoddy maker, thoy are still economically useful. They are then mixed with other degraded waste, such as shavings of hoofs and horns and the blood ol slaughter houses, and are melted in an iron pot with wood ashes.

It is said that 011 certain moors ol England jealous women still mold waxen noils, and. running pins through them, molt them slowly, so that their human models may waste away.
