A -moment later and all was dark and still. VLulled by the warmth of her new covering ' Yuddi sank almost instantly into sleep. 7"When she.awoke again tho morning was far advanced. Her father had long gone ttoihis daily toil; but her mother stood lover her looking in wonder at the magic ^garinent. ; "In the names of Brahma, Siva and -^ishrra," exclaimed the wondering wo ^xaexi, when she perceived her daughter to befuBy aroused, "where did yon get that icldak?^ jy;-Theu Y^ddi told the marvelous story; and tho good woman who had a strong be? lie" in the supernatural, and who, more ver, had never had cause to doubt her hild's- veracity, aiccepted it without a murmur. . . "Yon are indeed blessed, my only one," she said as she clasped her to her breast "Sirive to-retain tho fairy's gift" ^Btthat morrtihg Yuddi was intensely pTO^fctrt at tho' hour of noon her father homo to his meager dinner. He, . too,-saw'the cloak, and' was told its his 2tnry^';;:H? scoffed. at tho tale, and accused . p^br Yuddi of having - found or' stolen the jcloak and then, attempting to deceive him. 'The poor littlo " girl was deeply wounded. '.Nescr before had her word been mis trust? ed, i Oh telling the story tho second time to d ia who was mosympatihetic, she began to rijalize how almost impossible it sound? ed--; So, later, when.she went out wear >'ihg;$ie cloak, and'some children crowded .rouisd her, and iiifl^i; where she got it, ?she nnhappily equi.vbcatedU In an instant e 'dreadful woWL. -,llafe!fler,',;:-ni'-'t3i?-; flaming letters of tell talc- scarlet, appear '_ ed upon her hack. Her companions ran from her screaming with fear. Yuddi tore off the cloak, and almost blinded with bitter tears rushed home, e nd sobbed out her unavailing grief to her mother. That good wumatt-'-comforted her as well as possible, and tried to show the child that even if she had lost the cloak, she had been taught a lesson, which she ought never to forget. . .. Yuddi was, however, almost heart broken and it was only when her mother reminded her that she still owed a duty to the fairy, that she roused herself a Httle from her sorrow. "I will keep my word In that at least," she. said. ..."I will go to ..the goodi Rhasta, my master,'and offer it. t?F bimi" Without loss of time she "sought tho wise old man, told her . story and offered the cloak. "My child," he Baid as he took it, "I will try to wear it. But I am old, and ikaovr, the world; and men well. To few 'it can be given to be absolutely truthful. I fear I am not of those. Come to me in the morning." When Yuddi returned Rhasta was no longer wearing the cloak. "I have lost it sooner than I expected, my child. You.know, blow poor I am.; and how few pupils I have? Last night- the father ?f -Rhum Gat came to me and asked how his son was getting on.

Once more Yuddi took up her burden, - and went - to "the 'bouse of'a" rich and beau-" tifnl lady for whom her mother sometimes worked-*.Tnls lodyjwas charitablo and gObd^ahtl: Yuddff of "whom she hod often taken kindly notice, almost worshiped ~her;"When Yuddi had explained her er? rand and shown the wonderful garment, > the lady,' Aouda Singh, accepted it rap? turously, and -wanted to reward Yuddi "ior bringing it The child would, how ever, accept nothing but thanks. 'Ijun but keeping my word,'* she said. '"For so doing I must not want or take re ^ward." ; i > With a somewhat lighter heart she went .back to her humble hut.. Not many hours iad passed'when a "bearer", come ma? iling at bis utmost speed to say that she must go at once to Aouda' Singh. ??{On-' ahiviug there Yuddi \ was greeted curtly, almost rudely/ by the lady. "Take back your hated cloak," she ex? claimed, "and never let me seethe be? witched thing again. I wore it to the bazar,.- a?d bought some handsome gar? ments tfiat would go with it I was, per? haps, a little too extravagant and when my good lord asked me how much J .had spent!did not dare.tell him all. And when I named less than the true amount the dreadful scarlet letters blazed out Take it away,.I say.1' Again Yuddi resumed her quest for a . wearer for the cloak. Among others she took it to a famous lawyer. "Child, have ^jou come to mock me?".-he cried. "I could not keep it an hour, and do my best for my clients. Imightkeep it an hour if I were asleep, though I believe I some? times talk in my. sleep, so even then I ?conIdn?t be sure of it" Once more the weary search began. A wise woman, famous for her herbs and medicines, refused to try it ' 'Did I teU some sick people the truth about them? selves they would surely, die, when, if I bid them hope, there is a possible chance for them. If I told others of what my ? medicines are made, they would lose faith in them. Take away your cloak." Day after day poor Yuddi continued the task which she began to think was hope? less, ^Many.took the cloak, who had not wisdom enough "to"" know that there was not the remotest chance of their keeping it even a few minutes. Tradesmen lost it through misrepresenting the value of their goods; manufacturers, through selling adulterated articles; and even an artist, who was famed as a seeker after ideal ctrutb, through willfully attempting to im? prove bn nature in his landscapes and by grossly flattering in bis portraits, likewise lost it At last the despairing Yuddi gained .audience with the wisest man in the'land. the king's chief councilor. 1 'You must be "Very young and'innocent to come to me, my child," he said when she had told the reason of her visit "Know that if I told the truth to' my royal master about some ot our, foreign relations, or when he asks me what his people think of him, I should need about 100 lives a year." "Then let me see the king," boldly cried Yuddi: "he at least has none to fear." "You think so, child? Well, I will con? trive you shall see, a$m. But you may ..nave to wait a longtime.'! Yuddi answered that she did not care how long. The" cloak was becoming an intolerable, burden to her, never long ab? sent from"iberr sight and it was in her nund night- and day, sleepingvor waking. . She. had'- need of all her patience, for kings ore not easily seen, especially by the; cldldren? of Ryots, as the Indian peasants are called. When she was admitted to the great ? presencet'she Imelj^covorod her-facer and ' was-loir a time too frightened to speak. ...TJie.king .finally succeeded in reassuring her, and she told her errand. . "And so you think," sold the monarch, "that kings can be more truthful than other people? You never made a greater mistake. . You ore too young to under? stand all the reasons why wo are com? pelled to falsify and deceive; but I will teUyou one or two. Sometimes I have to meet a neighboring sovereign, who is jeal? ous of me or I of him?with whom, per? haps, I- have been at war; and who has killed thousands of my people; yet I have to call him'my loving brother.' I have to put up with ministers I detest, because the people demand that they shall bo in office. I have to tell my subjects that I know they will cheerfully pay taxes and vote supplies, when I feel the doing so will make them suffer terribly. Go, my child. Kings can speak less truth than their poorest subjects." On leaving the palace Yuddi met an old, old man?a kind of priest, or dervish, who frequently preached to the people and in the intervals of bis preaching begged for enough' to keep him alive. He was clad in the most wretched rags, and, as Yuddi passed, he asked for something to get food and clothes. Immediately she offered him the cloak, explaining upon what conditions he could wear it ' "I think I can keep it, my daughter. Come tome here to-morrow and see.?' . The next day Yuddi found Mm, still wearing the cloak, and with its spotless purity unsullied. "How is it that you alone have been able "to wear this for a day?" she asked. ? "I will try to teU you, my daughter. I am very old and have no wants bat food and clothing. -When I ask for money for these, I speak the truth. I ask no man to build me a house or a temple; therefore, I seek no more than my daily food. I have no friends whom I must flatter and no enemies I need fear. I have outlived all but my love for God and his creatures, and I have no uim but to do good to them. I tell them that for their welfare here and hereafter they must refrain from evil, and I call to them hourly to leave the wrong and seek the right What reason have I to tell anything bat the truth ? 1 thank you for your cloak, and I hope to wear it tfll I die."?Julian Magnus in The Epoch. Sordinos of the Brittany Coast. All along' the coast of Brittany the people are for the most part miserably poor. They live almost exclusively by fishing, and fish, it seems, are not to be relied on any more than men. Their habits are most Irregular; they take a fancy to a certain locality and then they leave it; they .are creatures always of fresh excitement and adventure. This Is especially the case with sardines, upon which thousands of Breton fishermen mainly rely. Sardines can hardly he termed globe trotters, but they are never? theless inveterate tourists. WTiilo indulg? ing their passion for roaming, they thor? oughly believe in the advantages of social intercourse; consequently, when they travel there are millions of them together. Some years ago they freqented tho Brit? tany coast In such numbers and with such regularity that capitalists set up manu* factories in various places for preserving these fish in oiL Thus they have been distributed all over the world in thoso boxes which are to be found in every am? bitious dust heap. Both alive and dead it- is the destiny of the sardine' to travel. For some unac? countable reason the sardino has during the last two or three seasons turned up its very fastidious nose at Brittany, and In? stead, of stopping at every bay on the coast, as formerly, has passed on to other regions. It is said that the coast of Portu- j gal has been the one most highly favored by the vagrant and capricious fish since the poor Brittany fishermen have been throwing up their hands in despair or fervently- praying for the return of the sardines.. This year the prospect is much more cheerful.?Cor. Boston Transcript. CLOSING THE CIVIL WAR. The Last Charge Was on a Brandy Barrel and the Last Shot Was Over It. The man'who claims to have ordered tho last shot flred on the Confederate side daring the late unpleasantness is Mr. A. B. Faireloth, of Camilla, Ga., a gentle? man as modest as he is bravo. The inci? dent was told ns by Capt. D. H. Sanders, an old comrade In arms of Mr. Faireloth, and forms a Unique feature in-the un? written history of the great struggle. Mr. Faireloth belonged to Company C, Second Georgia cavalry. Lee had surrendered. Johnston had surrendered. Only Kirby Smith remained at the head-of armed resistance. The Confederacy was in its death throes. Wheeler determined not to surrender his men, but to force his way across the coun? try to join Smith west of the Mississippi. To this end he procured the removal of his command from Johnston's army, and started upon one of the most hazardous retreats in the annals of war. While everywhere Confederate troops were grounding their arms, taking the oath of allegiance to the United States govern? ment and returning to their homes, this little band under their gallant leader re? fused to lower the stars and bars. Wheeler's bold movement was kept a profound secret, known only to his own men and Gen. Johnston. All thought that .the,?war was over. The Federals came ^freely into the lines of their latti foes, and -there'was a general intermingling of the |"bluo and gray." It feU to the lot of jPottpany C to guard Wheeler's rear. A 'barrel of brandy was discovered just inside the reserve picket line, and those old veterans, with true soldierly instinct, soon tapped it and were fast getting into a hilarious condition; The lieutenant in command of. the picket guards was in a short time unable to distinguish a Con? federate from a "Yank," and was relieved by Mr. Faireloth* the orderly sergeant. The aroma of that brandy was wafted to tho olfactories of the Union soldiers, and soon a troop of cavalry was seen coming at a headlong charge upon that barrel. Sergt. Faireloth obeyed the orders, of his chief, and the dashing squadron was received, with a volley from their picket line. They, were riumfounded, and with? out returning the lire showed a white nag. The sergeant advanced to parley with the bearer of the flag of truce. "What the deuce did you Are for? Don't you know the war is over?'* This was jerked out by the spokesman on the other side. "I obeyed orders," calmly replied the sergeant. "No troops can pass my lino." "But,-man, Johnston has surrendered, and the war is over. Come, let us pass, we want to taste that brandy over there." "I must carry out my orders," stoutly maintained Sergt. Faireloth, "and if your men advance they will be flred upon. But," he.added, "I am expecting orders calling to my men every minute, and if you will wait perhaps you may get a drop of tho brandy." Strange to say tho troop waited, and the order came. Then there was a grand rush for the barrel?when "Johnny Reb" and "Yank" got on a drunk together. This was the last shot flred in the 'lute war, and the incident, .now published for the first time, will be read with (interest by those'who participated in the novel scone; as well as the general public. To complete the story it only remains to tell that, acting under the advice of Johnston, Wheeler gave over his daring attempt, and, turning over his men to the brigade, regimental and company commanders to act as they saw fit, gathered about him a few bold spirits, and started to join the head of the Confederacy in his effort to escape his pursuers.?Greensboro Herald. Where Thoy Wore Born. Some time after tho war Gen. Critten den met ..three ex-Confederate officers at dinner, and they became very friendly. "Major," said Gen. Crittenden to onc^ of them, "where were you born?" "Well," said the major, getting a little red, "I was born, sir, in Nantucket, Mass., but you see I lived ten years in the south, and I married a southern lady, and as all my interests were in the south of course I fought for them." "And where were you born?" he asked tho second. "Well, sir, I was born in Nantucket, Mass., but I'd lived in the south twenty years, and of course"? "I see," said the general, turning to the third. "Colonel, where were you born?" "I was born in Nantucket, Mass., too, but I'd been thirty years in the south, and" "That's curious, isn't it?" "Tell me, general," said ono of them, "where were you born?'? "Well, I was born in 1-Iuntsville, Ala., but I lived in the north for many years, and I fought for the Union."?San Fran? cisco Chronicle. Creoles and Their Servituts. Poor indeed must be the creolo family without one retainer of color, and almost every household provides for some old and useless pensioners with affectionate inter? est. Creole servants are invaluable, their training having been thorough; and in al? most every instance they remained with their old unstresses, often working when there was no money to pay their wage, 'often assuming extra work to make a fev picayunes to help their beloved "white people." Creole housekeepers manage to keep servants, even the servants of the new dispensation, wliilo their American ? sisters in tho same city are wasting their substance in advertisements, or wearing out footgear tramping from one employ? ment bureau to tho other. Creoles accord certain privileges to their servants which Americans refuse. Creole children are taught from babyhood politeness to ser? vants, and American children are permit? ted to jeer, to worry and to insult them.? Harper's Bazar. A Story of Two Bogs. A family fond of pets and superior to hydrophobic apprehensions had reduced their stock of household animals some time ago to two. One was a Scotch ter? rier, young' and of rare excellence and value, having easily.taken prizes at bench shows. The other was a black and tan, well on in life. I may not be entirely right in "this description, but preciseneBS of classification is not essential to the effect of the narrative. The "twa dogs" were constant companions, and exhibited a strong mutual fondness. The Scotch suddenly sickened and died. That he was missed by bis aged friend was evi? dent. The family sent the deceased to a taxidermist, who treated him so skillfully that the figure, sitting in a lifelike posi? tion, would at first glance deceive tho most intimate' acquaintance of tho living animal. When the work of restorative art wai sent home and the black and tan was let into tho room where it had been placed, ho manifested the liveliest joy, rushing up to the Scotch and kissing her in canine fashion and finally lying down by her side to sleep, according to his habit. For a long time he refused to go to his meals? a substantial sacrifice, as his appetite was extremely good?because she would not accompany him and his food had to be brought to him. FinaUy, having ap? parently turned the matter over In what serves dogs for a mind, about which we really know so little, he suddenly aban? doned the case, went about his own busi? ness and paid no further attention to the irresponsive Scotch.?Brooklyn Eagle.

Soon after the capture and breaking up of Sitting Bull's great band in the winter and summer of 1881 theteWere sohicthiug like 0,000 Indians ?t the Poplar creek agency. They were savages in every sense of the word, possessed a magnificent pony herd, but they were still prisoners of, wat and wards of the government. It was hard to teach them the arts bf civilization and the ways of husbandry in a night. So long ?s the rations lasted and the pony herd held out the captive aborigines did very well, but as soon as food began to fall the Indians failed also, and it'is said that great numbers of them died from starvation. Since that unfortunate epoch missionaries of the church have been busy among them, who, together.with the efforts of the government agents, have placed the Poplar river Indians almost on a sen* sup? porting basis. Last year more than 1,000 acres were under cultivation, although the crops were almost a total failure, owing to the unfor? tunate drought which prevailed through? out the entire* northwest- The present rspring has been an exCeptiohaily good one, and promises good crops if the weather shall hold fine. There are a number of schools at and in the neighborhood of Poplar river, and one large industrial boarding school^-, which is run, under contract, by j the missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church. At Deer Tail, a Presbyterian!schooljcloso by, the teacher is Joseph RogerSj'an1 edu? cated Indian, who teaches tho youngsters of his race Christianity and everything else in their native Dakota language. While at the agency I made sure to visit the camp in order to inspect the Yankton brave when at home. Aside from all their meritorious progressions, bucks, squaws, papooses, boys and maid? ens still cling to their ancient savage an? tipathy to hair growing on the face. It was not an infrequent sight to see the old men, * the youths approaching manhood and the middle aged fellows, too, squat? ted on the grass, with bits of mirrors be? fore them, busily at work pulling from their faces with fine nippers the sprouts of growing beard. In the one Yankton village at Poplar river I think it is a low estimate to say that I saw 5,000 dogs. Mongrels, nonde? scripts, hounds, hybrid wolves, curs of every description, followed mo all over the camp, smelling my heels and hugging me closely, but taking to their heels like a shot at tho slightest evidence of hostil? ity on my part. I should judge there were two dogs to every Indian in all the ramps I visited. The Indian police at Poplar river are better to see than circus clowns. There are twenty privates and two officers, and they evince the most passionate desire to wear a uniform of some kind. One private I saw wore a colonel's blous??ud shoulder straps, and a pair' bf common cotton draw? ers for trousers. Others were gotten up in similar style, and adorned themselves with tin, brass or some other metal in ga? lore whenever possible. It should be stated, however, that they have been and are good and faithful servants of the gov? ernment, earning every cent of the pay they receive, and also ready and obliging to go anywhere when ordered, at any time of day or night. There was a time, and only a few years ago, when the noble red man would have scorned to use an ax, handle a hoe, or do any other kind of manual labor. When the first steamboats came pushing far up the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers there preceded them, or came along at the same j time, adventurous white Wood hawks, who camped along the rivers in the heart of the Indian country for the purpose of supplying tho boats with fuel. Wood yards were established at various conven? ient points, and although the enterprise carried with it isolation and exceeding lonesomeness, yet there was money in it, vand not a few made fortunes out of the scheme. It is hard to believe that within a year or two all this has been changed. Caucasian wood hawks have disappeared, and in their places stand Indian chop? pers, who hail the boats and haggle on the price of wood with a business insight that promises each individual wealth in the near future. Between Poplar river and Rocky Point, on the Missouri, there is not a single wood yard whose propri? etor is a white man. The Indians have got there at last, and, from present indi? cations, they promise to stick.?Chicago Times. A Tasto of Hi^h Life. "Last season my maid of all work asked early in the spring if she might have the month of July. I said yes, not realizing the trouble there was in getting help," said a prominent Detroit lady. "As I could not find a servant I decided to close tho house and go for the month to one of tho fashionable beaches near home. While watching the bathers tho morning after I arrived I noticed one, a pretty looking girl picturesquely dressed, who struck me familiarly. As she came near me, I recognized her as my maid Julia, notwithstanding sho had changed her hair from a dark brown to a pale gold, and I spoke to her. To my surprise she entirely ignored me, never showing by even the raising of an eyebrow that sho recognized me or the children. On re? turning to the hotel I found that she was registered under the name of a friend of mine, a well known society young lady, whoso name she kept during her stop there. . Why didn't I expose her? What would have been tho use? She wore bet? ter clothes than I did, was bright and pretty, and had gathered around her the cream of the society there. The probabil? ity is that if I hod said anything no one would have believed me."?Detroit Trib? une.

New regulations in regard to the/sales of milk in Berlin went into effect Aug.'l. Every vender is to have a license, and the milk is classified as "full (pure) milk," "lnilf milk" and "lean milk." This is much like the London classification of eggs. They have "new laid eggs," or first rate eggs,' 'fresh eggs," or ' 'moderate good eggs," and "eggs."?Kansas City Times.

"Twenty-five years ago, when I first went to Carson," said a well known gen? tleman of that city yesterday at a down town hotel, "Mark Twain was just be? ginning to come to the front as a humor? ist. He was a qiuet, gentlemanly sort of a fellow, who could tell a good story and take his liquid potations with the boys and not show it much, even if he would drink nil day. "In those early days most any sort of an entertainment brought out a big crowd, and when it was announced one day that Mark was to deliver a lecture for tho benefit of something or other at the Epis? copal church, it was understood from the start that there would be a perfect crush. "Well, Mark ascended the steps into the pulpit about 8 o'clock, there being a whole lot of the boys and young women, friends of his, as well as a good many old people in front. Mark made a .very polite bow and then unfolded a gigantic roll of ?brown paper. People thought at first it was a big map, but it turned out to be his lecture written on great sheets of grocers' brown paper, with an ordinary grocers' marking brush. After his bow he turned his back around . to the audience and craned his head up to the lamp and thus read from the big sheets, as though it wotdtl be impossible for him to sec any other way. "The lecture was on 'Tho Future of Nevada,' and was tho funniest thing I ever heard; He prophesied the great era of prosperity that was before us and songht to encourage us residents of the sagebrush region by foretelling what ap? peared to be Golconda like tales of im? possible mineral discoveries. Right on the heels of it, however, came the marvel? ous discoveries of Virginia City, and then we thought ho wasn't so far oil in his humorous predictions. Many a time have I thought of that lecture of Mark Twain. It ought to have been published. I have read all his lxmks, and T never saw any? thing in any of them better than tin's." ?San Francisco Examiner. Travel In St. Petersburg. If civilization is to be estimated by facility of locomotion, St. Petersburg is decidedly behindhand. The streets, ab though Very wide, ate abominably paved with kidhcy potato stones?a bad mate? rial to begin with, and hero very badly laid down;" and, besides, there is very often a gutter in the middle of a street crossing, which Wohld throw one bit th? tiny drosky but for the precautions taken by the natives; The drosky is, as n street cab, even worse than a Dublin car. It is like a very small victoria; the horse is slow, the driver is generally very stupid; there is barely room for two persons and no protection against rain. As you stroll along the quays you are astonished at first at tho number of couples driving in droskies, he with his arm around- her waist ; but this, you presently learn, is not becauso they are a-courting; it is a pre? caution against being thrown out. But no lady may drive in a drosky.. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the fashion? able hour for driving, the Islands, a sort of park laid out in drives on the far side of the Neva and reaching down to the sen, are thronged with carriages, in lines, two and three deep, of the greater folk of St; Petersburg, who halt their carriages at the Point to get out and talk. The coach? men are all dressed alike, whether they drive private carriages or droskies, in a low crowned black hat and blue bed gown tied round the waist and thickly stuffed, it being just as much a consideration for a Russian Jehu to have a broad back as it is to an English footman to have height and calves. The harness of the horse is peculiar?blue canvns reins, thin trap? pings with silver chains hanging about; especially over tho horse's nose. But perhaps the "horses would look somewhat cart horseliko in English harness, for they are broadly built, with thick legs and flowing long tails.?Cor. St. James' Ga? zette. Chnrlos Stunner's Plain Living. His digestion was good up to the last. Before his injuries he used to pride him? self on this; nothing hurt him. He always breakfasted quite lightly und never took lunch. After he became an invalid he learned his limitations and re? spected them. But before, while be lived plainly as a rule, the late and heavy din? ners that he attended, as he used to say, "in his official capacity," never troubled him. He had a childlike love for sweets, and often bought chocolate creams and the like. Indeed, I rather came to look for the share he often poured on my desk from a paper cone of confectionery pur? chased on his way home from the senate. He seemed somewhat sensitive ns to this taste, if one might judge from the pains he sometimes took to defend it. He hoped he would never outgrow his sweet tooth, for so long as it remained he was sure of his digestion. But this was his only dissipation. Ho did not smoke?not that he conldn't, but rather that he wouldn't. Still, when he gave or was present at dinners, and cignrs came on with the wine after the removal of the cloth, he would light up with the others rather than to be a spoil sport, but I doubt if he ever smoked a whole cigar. While Sumner had a critical taste in wines, he took wine only at meals, and then in moderation. He didn't know spirits by their taste. Once when he found that one of his clerks had a flask of whisky in his valise, provided for tho journey on which he was about, to start, he asked a morsel as a curiosity, and after choking himself with a swallow taken neat, said it was the first time he had.ever tasted |whisky, and he rather thought it would be the last.?Arnold Burges John? son in The Cosmopolitan. Paris' Doll Making Industry. The making of dolls is one of the prin? cipal industries of Paris,, tho masterpiece of the trade being a marvelous creature consisting entirely of paper, with a por? celain head. This belongs to quite a new race of dolls, which has driven the old ones out of the Parisian market. In making them a fine paper pulp is used, and the doll is molded bit by bit. One workman does nothing but shape the arms, another has charge of tho feet, and so on with the entire body. Elastic bonds are inserted in the arms and legs to hold them together, and the joints are made to work so perfectly that a limb will remain in any position in which it is placed. The porcelain head is more difficult to make than the body. After being molded the heads are placed in an oven and baked for twenty-seven hours. They .are then rubbed with pumice stone, polished, and painted with the greatest care. The eyes are made as carefully as are human arti? ficial eyes, and the hair is wool from wild goats in the mountains of Thibet. To finish one of these dolls the labor of thirty different persons is required. Connected with every large manufac? tory pro dressmakers, milliners and shoe? makers, who work at their own homes. One manufacturer displays over 800 dif? ferent costumes every year. There are toilets for every conceivable occasion, in? cluding marriages and baUa, and all the fashions of the day are scrupulously re? produced.?Youth's Companion. A Transparent Mirror, A forgotten chemical product, brought out by Dode more than twenty years ago, is now preserved in a Paris museum. It is a transparent reflector, in which the image of an object may be viewed as in a mirror, or through which the object itself maybe seen as through common glass. It is simply a piece of glass covered with a thin layer of platinum. It was prepared by combining a mixturo of platinic chlo? ride and essence of lavender and borato and oxide of lead, spreading the whole on the glass with a fine brush, and then bak? ing in a muffle at a low, red heat. This old discovery ought to serve some useful purpose.?Arkansaw Traveler. Fat and Sleek Waiters, Thero is a fat restaurateur ou Sixth avenue who insists that all his waiters shall be fat and sleek. "Why?" he re? peated the other day. "Well, I believe that customers arc attracted by men who have the appearance of being well fed. Besides, fat waiters are not so irritable as lean ones and are more obliging. My fat waiters havo done much to advertise my grub."?New York Sun. Strain of C.'ty Life. The intensity of the strain of city life is suggested by the fact that while from ?1852 to 1808 the population of Chicago in? creased 5.1 times, and tho death rate 3.7 times, the deaths from nervous disorders increased 20.4 times.?Frank Leslie's. A Neckluco of Tinman Fingers. A curious and interesting relic of In? dian barbarism was received at the war department a few days ago. It consisted of a necklace of human, fingers. Origin? ally there were eleven lingers strung to? gether after the manner of necklaces of bears' claws, but three of them had been lost. This ghastly adornment was cap? tured in an attack on the northern Chey ennes in 187G, nnd euch finger represented a life taken b3T the owner, the big medicine man of the tribe. The fingers had been preserved by opening the skin, removing the bones, scraping away all the tissues and fatty substances, replacing the bones, and subjecting the skin to some tunning process. The necklace was sent to West Point by Capt. Bomke, who is now en? gaged in preparing some historical matter relating to the Indians. It was brought from West Point here in order that it might be reproduced in paper macho at the Smithsonian institution.?Washington Cor. New York Sun. Women on Board Yachts. Women fit into yachting better than men, for the most part, strange as it may seem. Probably one reason is that they are more used to leisure and meet it more gracefully; another may be that the Bos? ton woman naturally scintillates with ef? fervescent brilliancy, and makes a charm? ing guest at all times and places. How? ever it may be, the femmc d'esprit is al? ways to be found among the guests of n yachting parly, as it is recognized I hat the talent of brilliant conversation i.-i the tal? ent par excellence on hoard a yacht?it wears best and is oftencst in requisition.

Condit ions of Lifo. At a recent meeting of the London An? thropological institute, Dr. George Ilarley sought to prove that the conditions which havo increased man's comfort and stimu? lated his mental faculties have lessened his vitality and recuperative powers, making him more liable to fatal injuries. ?Arkarisaw Traveler. ?
