And what do yon think ?
The ice was thin.
And the pack fell in !
And they all were like to have drowned been.

Made out to swim !
And they splashed about
Till they all got out,
When they felt very wet and cold, no doubt.

So hungry were,

And, as they aped,
They howled in the light that the pale moon

The Hooter1* Story*
"I have had many narrow escapes,
and have seen Bome strange things. I
can now recall one, when I was hunting
beaver, jnst as the ice began to break
up, and on one of the furthest, wildest
lakes I ever visited. I calculated there
, oould be no human being nearer than
one hundred miles. I was pushing my
canoe along the loose ice, one oold day,
_ when iust round a point that projected
into the lake, I heard something walking
through the ice. It made so muoh
noise and stepped so regularly, that I
felt sure it must be a moose. I got my
I rifle ready and held it cocked in one
hand, while I pushed the canoe with the
other. Slowly and carefully I rounded
the point, when, what waB my astonish.ment
to see, not a moose but a man,
wading in the water?the ioe water I He
had nothing on his head or feet, and his
olothes were almost torn off from his
limbs. He was walking, gesticulating
with with his hands, and talking to himsslf.
He seemed to be wasted to a
skeleton. With great difficulty I got
him in my canoe ; when I landed I made
up a fire and got him some hot tea and
i food. He had a bone of some animal in
, his bosom, which he gnawed almost to
nothing. He was nearly frozen, and
k Quieted down and soon fell asleep. I
L nursed him like an infant With great
difficulty, and in a round-about way I
found out the name of the town from
which he "ame. Slowly and carefully I
got alon>, around falls and over portages,
k jping a resolute watch on him,
lest he f lould escape from me into the
forest. At length, after nearly a week's
travel, I reached the village where I
supposed he lived. I found the whole
community under deep excitement-*nd
more than a hundred men were scattered
in the woods and on the mountains,
seeking for my orazy companion, for
they had learned that he had wandered
into the woods. It had been agreed
upon, that, if he was found, the bells
were to be rung and guns fired. And,
as soon as I landed, a shout was raised,
his friends rushed to him, the bells
broke out in loud notes, and guns were
fired, and the renort echoed scram and
again in the forests and on the mountain^
till ecery seeker knew that the
I ost one was fonnd.
"How many times I had to tell the
story over I I never saw people so
crazy with joy, for the man was of the
first and best families, and they hoped
his insanity would be but temporary,
as I afterward learned it was. How
they fea< ted me, and vhei^I came away,
loaded my canoe with provisions and
clothing, and everything for my oomfortl
It was u time and place of wonderful
joy. They seemed to forget everybody
else, and think only of the poor man
whom I had brought back."
!The Precious Herb,
Two little German girls, Brigitte and
Walburg, were on their way to the
town, and each carried a heavy basket
on hr head.
Brigitte murmured and sighed constantly,
Walburg only laughed and
joked.
iingitte said: " What maKes yon
laugh so? Your basket is quite as
heavy as mine, and you are no stronger
than I am,"
Walburg answered: "I have a precious
little herb on my load, which
makes me hardly feel it at all. Pat some
of it on your load as well."
"Oh," cried Biigitte, "it must indeed
be a precious little herb 1 I should
like to lighten my load with it; so tell
me at onoe what it is called."
. Walburg replied: " Thepreoiouslittle
herb that makes all burdens light is
called patience."

THE HAUL
Momt Cnrloua Facta Id Relation to Onr
Blranto Appendant*? Baldneaa.
It has sometimes been wondered
where all the false hair comes from
with which the deficiencies of the natural
supply are eked out. Foreign countries
furnish the bulk of the material
for the American market, as there are
few people here who, whether from in
c]illation or necessity, dispose of their
locks for money. Light hair comes
from Germany, while Brittuny and the
south of France supply the black ; and
it is a curious sight to see the young
peasant girls being sheared like sheep
by men as well as women. The universal
oustom of wearing caps which completely
oonoeal their abundant locks,
doubtless accounts for the readiness of
the French peasant girls to sell for a
song the fit est ornament of their sex.
Now and then some story gets into
print about the dangers of wearing
false hair, and the acoounts of insects
which have been said to inhabit it are
by no means attractive reading. But
these stories are, as a rule, either inventions
or exaggerations, for in every reputable
hair store there is a guarantee
of oleanliness which any eye can be satisfied
of. There are, no doubt, unpleasant
associations oonnected with
what is known in the trade as " graveyard
hair." that is, the hair which is
taken from a person's head after death ;
but this kind being brittle and deficient
in the qualities necessary for daily use,
is probably only found in oheap quarters.
Very curious, as showing the
connection between the emotions and
the hair, are those instances in which
terror or Borne great mental distuibanoe
has suddenly blanohed it. Marie Antoinette's
experience in having her head
Decome gray me mgm preceumg uer
execution is sufficiently familiar. Another
example, referred to by Dr,
Wynter as ooming under his own observation,
was that of a soldier who feigned
rheumatism, and lingered in a hospital
for three months, to escape military service.
This anxiety to keep up the deception
caused his hair to turn gray, although
he was quite a young man.
These emotional affections of the hair
are supposed to be caused by the action
of some fluid in the blood upon the pigments.
Patches of white hair are sometimes,
though rarely, found upon newborn
babes, and it is the absenoe of pigment
which produces the whiteness so
familiar in the Albino.
As to the causes of baldness, they are
to some extent connected with artificial
habits of life. The larger deposit of
fat in the female scalp, whioh allows of
a free circulation in the capillaries of
tho^Cn, is held by medical authorities
tb account for the general exemption of
women from baldness, as comDared with
men. The smoothness of a' scalp denuded
of its natural covering, shows a
denseness of texture in the skin caused
by the destruction of the bulk of the
hair, and the olosure of the follioles?in
this condition, all remedies are useless.
The silk hat so constantly worn
by men is probably responsible for
much of the prevailing baldness, and
the fact that this ceases below the place
of oontact with the head, indioates the
mode of operation, the exolneion of air
and consequent exoesBive production of
heat. Coolness of the head is a requisite
for a healthy growth of hair,
whioli is apt to come out in fevers and
other morbid states of the system. Nothing
better can be devised for the benefit
of the hair than the daily use of oold
water, followed by vigorous rubbing.
rne use 01 animal iats is injurious oy
reason of their heating properties, and a
light cleansing and gently stimulating
wash is the most which is needed by
way of artificial application to promote
the health and growth of the hair. The
blood, says a medical writer, is the only
macassar of the hair, the only oil whioh
can with truth be said to " insinuate its
balsamic properties into the pores of the
head." The fine network of vessels on
which the bulbs of the hair rest is alone
capable of maintaing its healthy existence.
The same writer adds : " We
do not see why internal preparations
should not be tried, and we are not at
all oertain that gelatine soups and pills
made of the ashes of burnt hair, might
not be effectual in baldness, as those ingredients
would supply to the blood the
matprifila riAAAnnarv frtr th? rtrndnntifin
of hirsute growths"." Barring the cremation
and restaurant suggestions,
which are here unpleasantly conneoted
with hair, it might be worth while for
persons who have grown gray in reading
the Times, or beoome bald by not
reading it, to test the soundness oi
these bits of wisdom in relation to the
subject.?Boston Timet.
Birds and Hard Winters.
The tendency to augur a hard winter
from the arrival of birds whioh usually
winter in oountries far north of us, is,
we think with the Rev. F. O. Morris,
himself a great observer of the habits of
birdB, generally a mistake. What such
arrivals do prove, is not what is going to
be so muoh as -what has already happened
in these northern regions?the birds
flying before the oold, rather than taking
precautions against it before they feel
it. No donbt this may imply a severe
winter for us, as well as for these northerly
regions, especially if northerly
winds prevail, as they are very apt to
do when there is unusual cold, and,
therfore, an unusually dense atmosphere
to the north of us, which rushes
in on the rarer atmosphere of our more
humid climate. But that is only saying
that the birds fly from weather which is
not likely to extend itself to us, not that
they anticipate severe weather before
thev feel it. When robins come into
oar boases we do not take it as proving
that a long frost is ooming, bnt only that
a hard frost is already there; and we
snspeot that the northerly birds fly
south for precisely the same reasons for
which the robins enter our houses when
they find the cold insupportable out of
doors.?London Spectator.
An Artificial Earthquake.
Speaking of an explosion of giant
powder, by whioh several persons were
killed, a San Francisoo paper says : It
is worthy of note, in a scientific point of
view, that the stroke of a hammer
driving a nail in a piece of wood, which
exploded the giant powder works, also
bdook a city, mere is no part 01 nan
Francisco in which the concussion was
not felt, thoogh the works were looated
five miles from the center of population.
It is reported that the shock was noticed
at San Jose, fifty miles off. The general
effects were precisely similar to those
produced by an earthquake. The direction
of the motion was not the same
in all places. Topographioal elevations
may account for deflections, but the
general movement was north and south.
Here we have a foroe external to the
earth producing phenomena precisely
similar to those supposed to emanate
from the Interior. The coincidence, to
say the least, is very remarkable. N<
one accustomed to earthquakes experiencing
the shook of WednesdSw
would have set it down to anything e^E
but an internal convulsion. ' as?Se

Fashion Notes.
Coiffures tend to oompaotness, and
are worn lower in the bach. i
Braids or short onrls down the back J
are worn with dressy evening ooiffures.
Small bouffant draperies or paniers
are arranged back of the waistcoat on
all dressy Parisian toilets.
Oriental silks, Persian and Egyptian 1
silks, satins, velvets, brocades and corduroys
are all used for waistcoats.
Very small figures, checks and stripes
on white grounds, are the features in i
the new spring oalicoes and percales. {
"Pekin," the name given to velvets, :
silks, and woolens having alternate dull
and lustrous stripes, is all the rage at i
Paris.
A double cape of heavy silk chenille,
with tinsel thread twisted in the same,
is the latest novelty for the neck in
place of a scarf.
The long waistcoats worn with dressy
toilets are separate garments, and may

White satin dresses of creamy or
leaden tint are worn by elderly ladies ,
for fall dress, with fall trimmings of ,
creamy old point laoea.
Birds of paradise, butterflies, and insects
of all sorts in the form of gold
fignres and Impegan feather ornaments
are worn in the hair for fall dress.
The belted Josephine oorsage, the
oorset basque, and the oorsage with
long points back and front are all worn 1
for evening toilets with low, square
neoks.
For street wear, under all oircumatances,
a very simple dress, although
it be a little shabby, it is preferable to
one more elaborately draped and
trimmed that has lost its freshness.
All morning toilets for the street ,

should be short and very aara or omoa.
The materials may be vigogne, cashmere,
camel's hair, and all woolen
goods, but the trimmings may be of ,

The newest hats for young girls in
their teens are of felt, nigh crowned,
with square tops, trimmed with three
rows of inch-wide ribbon in bands
placed quite far apart around the crown.
The brims roll in Derby shape. Other
felt hats have a soarf of brown or navy
blue Batin with white polka dots.
Oravat bows have superseded the
cravats that pass around the neck; if
the latter are used, they are placed inside
the dress, instead of concealing the
neat collar of the dress, and only the
oravat bow is seen. White muslin
cravat bows are preferred for plain
suits in the morning and for dressy aftemnnn
wear. When colored cravats
are chosen, they are folded like gentlemen's
scarfs to fit in the revers collar
of a ooat. or else they are as narrow
as the lawn neokties worn in full dress;
the latter are made of foulard, and embroidered
on each end.

A Memorable Street In Paris.
It iB pleasant to learn, after the topsyturvy
game to whioh Paris has been
subjected in the past thirty years, that
at least one old street, the Rue de
l'Arbre, in the midst of the capital, and
in the most magnificently transformed
quarter, remains intact, with its venerable
mansions and traditions of the seventeenth
century. On this site during
1,200 years strange and terrible scenes
have been enacted. At the point where
the Rue de Rivoli outs it, JBrunehaut,
queen of France, was, at the age of
eighty, torn asunder by horses in 612.
In 1505 a great outbreak took place on
the same spot because the cure of St.
Germain l'Auierroia refused to perform
the funeral service of a merchant's wife
until he had ascertained whether she
had left any money to the church." At
the epoch of the Fi'onde this street was
the scene of frequent outbreaks. It was
there that Cardinal De Retz, passing
through it one evening in 1648, was
threatened by a roaster brandishing a
long spit. The oardinal had not the
wildest idea who his enemy was, but
had the gumption to say, " Villain, if

And then we wandered through many

those loot or tortured there ? And beneath

as in the picture of Delacroix, the agonizing

We did not bathe in the Dead sea.
Others have done so, and report of its
buoyancy the same tales that are told of
our own Salt lake. There is a whimsical
coincidence in the geographical relation
of the Dead sea and the home of
the earlier prophets, and Mr. Brigham
Young's personal continuation of the

Patience.
Since the days of the sorely afflicted
Job, patience has been a virtue well
worthy to be practiced by all. It is the
patient plodder that acquires greatness
rather than the giant intellect. The
greatest inventors of this or any other
age, have only become so by patient
investigation and trial. The astronomer
must have patience us his eyes wander

Ula Coal Store.
Coming down on the oar the other
morning they got to talking about their
ooal stoves and one man said :
" Well, I don't want to brag, but I
think I've got the boss stove. So far
this winter I have burned but three
tons of coal and the stove has kept three
rooms warm.
"Vnn a doot stove." re
marked the seoond. "1 have burned
but two tons of ooal yet, and my stove
heats parlor, dining-room, two bedrooms
and a hall."
"Well, when you come to stoves,"
quietly remarked the third, " I claim to
have the beat coal stove in Detroit. I
have burned but a tou and a half of coal
so far, and we have to keep all the
dampers shutjad a back door open all
the time." /
Some men looked out of the windows
and Bomq aown ?L the straw, and no one
seemed to doubt any of the assertions.
At length a heavy sigh was heard from
the rear end of the car and a man arose
and said:
" Gentlemen, there goes a fire alarm.
