THE MAGAZINE GUN Ifct a I'owcrful Weapon In tho Hands of tho Jturul Soldier. Even under tho most favorable conditions, tho moEozIno gun changes Its range after each Are, becnuso it Is lighter by tho weight of tho fired cartridge. It Is, of course, evident that, in tho hands of 11 si; 11 1 fu 1 nmn, u cool nnd in telligent man, tho magazine gun is n power ful weupon. Hut tho nvcrngo soldier, especial ly Iiiin from tho rural districts, is awkward, Kttipld, nnd excitable. Onco let him get to work on tho lover of thu mngnziuo gun, nnd it is ten to 0110 ho Ilres every uliot in his mag nzino regardless of range, or breaks tho lover; und. if, as is likely, it should prove difllcult to restrain his unlor, tho quick handling of troojis, chnngo of front, and tho llko might bo seriously Impeded. Whoever may havo followed tho vnrlons trials that havo been made with tho maga zine gun in tho hands of tho common soldier, or nt least thoso fow which havo been pub lished, can scarcely fall of surpriso that tho great powers, ono nnd nil, should hnvo de cided to adopt it. Of course it is to bo ex pected that continunl handling will bring 11 certain amount of precision; but In theoodays of great armies, when 1,00(1,000 men nro fet nilcld by 11 single power, it is necessary to count tho cost of learning' to uso a new weapon, mid 10 icarn w netner or no it may bo relied upon In times of excitement, when roughly nnd awkwardly handled. It was only n fow weeks ago when the Ono Hundred nnd Thirty-second of tho lino bail a trial with tho magazine gun. Now, this corps is 10 tno general stair of tho Oermnn army what tho Ulnck Watch is to tho Kugllsh nrniy, what tho Old Guard was to Napoleon mid tho Tenth U-glon to Ca'sur. Thov fired over tho target and under It, nnd to ono hide of it, and, as if them was no such thing ns keeping any thing liko a range, thuy no sooner l-ollllod their magazines and started ngnln 4l .!... 1 1 .... man mo same oi)sorveu (inherences were 1-ccorded. If tho target could hnvo llred back, oven with single loaders, them would not huvo (wen any hope for thorn.

Scientific Amorlcan. Tho IIiuIioi'h Latest Device. Singeing the hair id tho latest device of the Kit-bent to draw 11 customer's money. I hear it is iK'ing worked very successfully down cast, but it lins not reached this city yet. Singeing is done either by red hut irons or by Usina.

Tho bin ber telh them that their hair Is coming nut. They get frightened, nnd then lie tells them it is caused by thu oil of the root escaping from tho top of each individual huir. If the (Nitron admits that gnuB.v statement tho barber follows it up villi the remedy, which, of courso, U nothing moro than singeing the top of each hair. Tills, the customer is told, will Htop up the hollow by enu.snig a hard little knob to form l the end. Thut sounds reusonttbk', nnd they take the si ageing. As each hair is loft with the filled end tlu entire head of linir looks thicker, anil the customer looking in tho gliisa thmku lib huir is mallying improving umlor tho Biugolng nnd ,itl big thicker.

Not Slovenly In Their Dress Nor NcgU Cent In Their Homekccpliig. Thcro seems to le n prevalent opinion that literary women nro, llko tho Illustrious jlrs. Jellyby, slovenly In tholr dress as well as negligent in their housekeeping. Both theso chnrges remain to lie proved, however, anil tho examination of the llrst -will bo qulto enough for once. Jnno Austin nnd her sister wcro remnrknbly nent in their dress, but rather uul.eedful of tho fashionable and be coming. It U said that they took to tho cos- tiimo of iniddlo lifo leforo their looks or years required it. Joanna Ilnillic was fond of dress, and dressed exquisitely. With n delicate, graceful llgure, not largo boned, like many English women, sho woro her own gray hair and pretty brown silk go'ns and bonnets just right for an old lady. Mary Lamb, tho devoted sister of tho de lightful Charles, was nent nnd plain in her dress, but slio did not change much with tho fashions. However, sho affected 110 indlffer enco to this delightful subject. Sho wrote ton friend: "Idodcnrly love worked mus lin," nnd sho took great delight in certain silks sent her by a friend in China. Her usual dress was of black stuff or silk, nnd for tho great occasions there was u "dovo col ored silk, with n kerchief of snow white mus lin folded ncro.ss her bosom," and a cap, then in fashion, with deep frilled border and a bow on tori. At William Hnzlilt'.s wedding sho hnd great dllllculty in deciding whether her bridesmaid's dress should bo a "sprigged gown'' or a "dead whitish bloom color" silk. ' With nil her dniiitincKs, sho often dipped her delicate white hand into her tortoiso shell snuff box. When Chnrlotto Ilronto went to London about the tlmo "Shirley" was published, sho is described as "a young looking Judy, almost childlike in stature, in 11 deep mourning dicss neat as n Quaker. " Indeed, nentness was n characteristic of Iier dress, ami tho coverings of her hands nnd feet wcro always extremely dainty. Hho loved modest npparcl and thought 11 pink lined bonnet too gay for her. while sho did not buy "beautiful silks of pnlo sweet colors" at flvo shillings, as "sho had not tho spirit nor tho means," but choso a blacl silk at three shillings a yard. Emily lironto was dro-fed while at school in Brussels in ill- cut lank skirts and leg o mutton sleeves, which sho liked and woro wliother in or out of fashion. Harriot Mai tiucnu i3 described as plainly dressed. Of George Knots clothes wo know little, savo that her gowns wcro plain nnd that over her abundant hair, still untouched by gray, sho woro a cap of laco or muslin with lappets of rich point of Valenciennes, fastened under her chin. When George band was yet young girl sho woro a boy's blouse and gaiters lor n raniblo over her rough country, and later, in Pun's, io continued to go about liko u collegian of 1(1, in nil weathers, places and times.

Thoso young ladies nro nil about the same ngo and size mid by 11 singula colncldeiico were nil to bo married about the samo time. They were nil ambitious to have swell weddings nnd shinning outllts, but their pnrses were not long enough for both, and to possesH tho latter oven was 11 financial puzzle which gavo them many a sleepless night. Finally they put their heads together and hit upon n plan. I o avoid any unpleasant gossip among their mutual friends and inevitable companions, which is always odious, they de cided to give up tho big wedding, but they would havo tho bang up outfit by pooling their moneys. iNo. i, who was to bo man-led llrst, was to innke 11 bargain with tho dressmaker to iiiako any alterations desired in the trousseau after Utho wedding was over and the three were to go together to ueleet it, which they did, and tho dress was inado up in the very pink of fashion, with point laco enough to exhaust tho stock of a Worth, and bride No. 1 was married. The ceremony over, tho trousseau was turned over to No. 'J, and sho took it to tho, dressmnker for alteration according to contract, and in it sho was married, after which tho second refitting was done, and again tho brilliant outfit stood before tho marriage altar, and a third bride was the envy of the few guests present liocaiiBo of the gorgeous bridal decorations.

HOW THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE IS MADE TO RUN SMOOTH. Tho l'rcsent Condition of tho Hindoo Widow Not Heretofore Correctly ltcpro scntod ISulo of the Mother Piety and the Until Uso of OH. One of my newspapers lately contained a short article from The linden Standard, en titled "Hindoo Child Marriage." It described as pltiabla tho lifelong stato of tho Hindoo widow, who hnd never been 111010 than n bride, her some years nominal husband hav ing died when sho was a llttlo girl. A Ilengall of Calcutta, a unlvei-slty graduate, and wealthy member of society, on reading it says that it is strongly put, and moreover applies to 11 condition many years passed by; that tho Hindoo widow as "apart and necursed, her hair short or shaved wholly, in course nnd often siptnlld garments, her instincts starved into munition by comtntit fasts, n silent, shunned, stiff, disfigured object, nnd often hideously bald, forbidden nil ho)o of joy," has some foundation, but it is intensi fied, exaggerated, of even her condition fifty years ago. Slio fasts frequently, nt sVited days. She ivenrs no coloi-s, but Hint makes little differ ence, ns the present modo in Hengnl dresses every lady of respectable rank in white, ex cept that onthoedgo of her two wrappings there is a narrow line, gold, pink, crimson, etc., tho widow's robohcingonly distinguished by the nbseuco of that outer line or thread of color. Sho becomes Interested in the children around her in tho house, biio is often a favorite, and sho has a busy and useful plneo in the Hindoo family. Tin; JiOTiiKit's hum:. A sapient Iirahmnu joined tlio conversation barely by saying, "They havo liberty," as contrasted to the restrictions ami tho obedient condition of wifely women. So long, how- over, ns the son's mother lives tin widow is subservient. Sons stay at home, living with tho parents. Daughters thus leave their own parents us soon as they nro old enough totako tho position of wives, tho mntrimonir.I vows nnd obligations having been mudo in child hood. Tho oldest mother in tho household con tinues to bo the highest social monarch in tho house the despotic dictator, to whom all tho family conventionally pays ceremonious def erence. This Bengali gentleman, :12 vears old nnd the father of six children, from the prompt ings of ii happy experienco gavo a glowing eulogy upon tho Hindoo social system. Tho Hindoo pair, having been selected by adult judgment, begin acquaintances as playmates, grow into friends, ripen into lovers, and be come, ns they were predestined, consorts. It is acaso in which the course of tmo love rims smooth, nnd he considers it 11 most ro mantic career. He tells mo' thut tho homo lifo of Hindoo women has littloor nothing in tellectual or scholarly, but that it is very rich in tho affections. From curly morning nil tho time they nro busy in supervision of tho management of tho little ones mid in pro vision for the comfort and tho food of all. 1'ious dut3 and tho baths, two never neg lected items, occupy no insignificant portion of tho day. This mother, iclndy of V years, fasts often becnuso she is a widow; has bullied twice a day all her lifo and is in ex cellent health. Tho usual bath, whether in 11 stream or in the house, is merely 11 pouring of water over and over (ho bedy, mostly 011 the shoulders. Any other sort of wa-hiug of tlio person they don't seem to consider "a bath." on ixo Tiii;tn n.unns. Oil linen fluent part in tho oriental toilet.

Tlio Ocriiiiin Statesman ns n Drinker. A Dlploinntlc Neecmlty. An interesting book on Ilismnrck has re cently licon imbllshed here. Tho chapter de voted to hLs feats of eating nnd drinking ia especially remarkable. At 0110 icriol o( his lifo tho great German statesman uover restrained himself as to the ipiautity of his beverages, and his youthful exploits with rich, heavy wines liko llurgundy wcro the marvel of tho country sido. Once ho felt n littlo out of order internally nnd hunted for two days without exorienciiig any relief. IIo had inado nn engagement to visit tlio ofllcera of tho Bradcnburg cuiras seurs. Tho regiment had just como Into tiossession of a now drinking cup. As tho guest ho was to empty it first und then start it 011 its journey around tho table. It held about a bottlo full. Bismarck drew n long breath, drained it to tho last drop, nnd put tho cup back 011 the table. Tho mess was astonished, as they bar not expected such a feat from a civilian, but it was ono ho had learned nt Gottiugcit. The most surprising part of tho story is that tho chancellor asserts that ho novcr felt better than during tho month following. Again, when hunting with Frederick Wil limn IV, ho emptied at a singlo draught ono of tlio fantastically curved cups dating from tho reign of Frederick William I. It wn mado of stag's horn, and so fashioned that tho drinker could not placo bis lips squarely on its mouth, and still nodropmvst be spilled, It held nbout three-quarters of a bottle. Al though filled with very dry champagne, the princo.polished it off without, soiling tho wide expanso of white vest over which ho was com polled to hold it. When ho called for another tho party opened the.r eyes, but tho king said: "No; one's enough." Nor was this doneotrtof niero braggadocio. When Uisinnrck began to learn thodiplomatic trado it was considered indispensable that op plicafTts should havo strong heads, other wiso thov might bo easily overcomo with wine nnd diplomatic secrets wortned out of them in moments of obfusticntion; concessions might bo forced from them, and their sig natures obtained to documents they would not recognize in their moments of sobriety Thoso wcro tho days of two and three, bottle men, nnd woo to tho budding Mcttcrnich or Von IJoust who could not hold his own I Now York Star. I'or tlio Inner Man. A friend who has been in most ciuntrios of tho world declares that you can get notliiii lit to eat outsido of tho Unitod States. "U I13," uo exclaimed once, "L couldn't get a decent picco of pio from Liverpool to Yoko hama!'' No ono but an American could have said that. In spito of all our foreign impor tatious and imitations, in spito of fashionV frown and society's scorn, pio is still tho na' tional dessert, nnd conies us naturally after tlio midday meal ns tho l-reiichinim's cheese after his evening diner. This is true of tho city ns well of tho rural districts. It is not tlio farmer only v.-ho cats pio, nor ii its do minion confined to Now England and her belt of colonies, reaching from tho Hudson to tho Yellowstone. Pio may not hnvo great voguo in tlio brown stone district of Now York citv, but it reigns supremo in tho cheaper restaurants und lunch rooms, where tho great American middlo class clerks, salesmen, artisans and tho liko go for their dinners. There is n man in Mow York who goes ubout among tlio printing ofllccs with 11 big tin box, full of littlo shelves. IIo is n purveyor of lunches, and almost two-thirds of his stock in trade consists of pic, and tho rest mainly of sandwiches. Thcro nro.a score of lunch rooms, in which tho feeders sit in front of long counter.! on high stools, und which sell nothing but sand wiches, doughnuts, milk, pie, tea and coffee. The uniform price at such places for sand wiches and pio is llvo cents; and there are moro men who mako their lunch 011 two pieces of pio and a glass of mill: than of those who take two sandwiches. There nro two kinds of pies served in most of these places tho ordinary, which is about eight inches in diamctei , and of which a "pieon"' is half :i pie, and tho "homo made," which is n foot ia dinmoter and cuta up into sis or eight pieces. The profit on this latter sort mu.-t bo pretty large, for it soils nt ten cents 11 piece; and, although it is twico as thick m tbo ordinary land, it is made of no better material, und cannot cost over twenty-ilvo cent. 'I he smaller ones cost the restaurcuti about s:x cents, und, retuiliti; nt ton, tho profit is not so great, when on j counts i.i the us.) of pinto, kutfo nnd fork, and of lao towel v.'bu-u an swers as n napkin to every threo persons.

" AN ENGLISH STAG HUNT. EXHILARATING LOP OVER EFFECT OF A GAL THE HEATHER. Hurry Is tlio Word AVben tlio Hounds Iiecln to liny A Hunt Itldo to tlio I'lnlsli A Sine racliie Ills 1'ocs Tlio Dentil Stroke. Wo nro on tho top of Porlock hill, nnd southward and westward stretch tho rolling hills of tho forest, scarred by the deep coomlies and ravines, nt the bottom of which luvariably runs a stream of wntcr, in which minion nnd trout rjnuso many a whirl nnd eddy. The grand old trees on the sloping sides of theso coombes look so quiet and stately that it seems ns if wo had left the habited world nltogether. Northward, n thousand feet below us, tho Atlantic ocean rolls its waters up the Bristol channel, and dashes its spray - 011 tho shingly bench shadowed by tho trees and brushwood which come quite down to tho water's edge. But bark! There's a shout and the pealing of Arthur's horn. .Something's afoot, "Is it a stag or a hind J"' is the anxious inquiry of everybody. "Ihero it goes up yonder slope, Tis n hind, though, with n tufter hard nt her heels." Tho hound is whipped olr, and ngain wo wait. "That's 11 whimper, surely, below there,' another, now a chorus from four or fivo hounds, backed up by notes from a horn. All eyes are eagerly watching tho edges of the woods to see what breaks out. Crash I "By Jove! there ho is, nnd n splendid fellow, too. What n head! Brow, buv, and tray, and three 'pon top." 'Ti3 a glorious sight to seo him to; back hisnntlers nnd go at a long, swinging gallop across the heather and disap pear over tlio crest of the opposite bill. Hurry is the word. Tighten your girths, get into the saddle, and make up your mind for a hard ride now, for the stag has gone straight for tho moor, mid sobbing sides and reddened rowels will tell their usual tide ere wo set him up to bay; perhaps in "U'ntors neet." Thy tuflcrs are whipped off, nnd Arthur rides fast back for the pack, w hieh he quickly brings up nnd lays on tho track. Justii min ute tho hounds feather, then from old Chal lenger's throat thcro comes a roar as ho strikes tho lino; his comrades take up the note, und for a. few minutes tho hills resound to tho deep baying as each dog catches tho mystic scent. Tliev rapidly settle down to their long sweeping stride, und tho hunt has fairly begun. Wo nro in n good position, so fur, nnd feel tho exhilarating effect of n moorland gallop as tho heather glides under our horses' feet. Down that coombc tho chase takes us, along tho bottom, then up tho steep sides over tho bowlder mid among tho larches. Our borse.s must walk it. At last we reach tho brow and observe a few hoi-semen vanish over tho opposite side. AVo follow hard in their wake, and soon can seo tho hounds heforo nnd below us running fast and eleso to the line. Arthur in his scarlet coat is close up with them, ns also nro about half n dozen zealous sportsmen. "Two hours, and not 11 check I"' 1'hew! Our horses are begiiining to feel tho strain, nnd wo should not nt all object to raw rein, but tho gallant beast ahead is showing sport, and he leads us through tho beautiful woods and glades of Horner, past tlio old water mill, up tho stream, and across tho side of old Dunkorry, the highest and bleakest hill in tho west. Hero tho hounds waver and lose tho scent. Ah! what a relief to pull up and blow our hon-es. Fivo min utes, nnd nn old hound hits tho lino ngain, mid says so, and shows the way toward tho fnmous valley where tho Doones had their robber stronghold. Few aro thu riders now, ns wo lead our foam covered horse.! don 11 the tremendous declivity (none could ride down). Again wo mount, dash through tho ford of Bndgowortby Water, nnd stretch out for SimousLalh. Wo take care- to avoid ridiuc whero the bright green patches of seeming bountiful galloping ground denote tho prcs- nceot bogs, into v. Inch it Is dangerous to mle. J .Ives are lost by getting into these qunginin s, and frequenters of the mcor give them r.3 w ide a bertrt as possible. II11! The hounds swin' back towards liiadgewoi tiiy Water, and tho st.iir is seen below with lowered head now sotUiii'' the cooliuir l-:i.1 ii of tlio waters.

TBiHrTrMft QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 71 Queries from tlio 1'eoplo on All Sorts of Subjects. ricaso give mo n full explanation of what o shire town Is, also a borough town. What Is the difference betrcen a shire nnd any other townf Publishers caution contributors to write only on one side of the paper. Why? Suppose I use com mon commercial note; am I to write on one side of tho sheet? (on the first and last pages) or on ouo Bide of each leaf, on tho llrst and third pages. Student. 1. Tho diffcrenco comes from the early division of England (by Alfred or earlier), into shires or counties, and tho joining of bouses in n neighborhood, for tho purposes of protection in former rudo times, nnd called tbo borough. Each has distinct political privileges, which extend to tho towns they comprise. Thus, in England, thcro nro what nro called municipal and parliamentary boroughs, tho former being a town (Liver pool, for instance) having a municipal government, nnd tho latter n town or dis trict (sometimes including several municipal boroughs), that sends n member or members to parliament ii. Tho object in writing only on ono sido of tho paper is that tho mauuscript can lo cut into parts, and each part given to a different printer. Tho questioner will readily seo that this would bo impossible when letters overlay each other on two sides of ti sheet. Queries.

Tho custom of sending peoplo on empty errands exists nil over the world. Oriental scholars say it was derived from tho huli feast among tho Hindoos, whero there is n similar custAm.

It has lieen supposed that thcro 13 somo connection between storms liable to occur nt tin c quinoetiul periods (21st of March nnd September), and the fact that tho ecliptic (or npparcut track of tho sun as tho earth re volves about it. vibrating as it does north and south of tho equator about Co degs.,) crosses it at theso dates. If thero is any foundation for the supposition it has never been demon strated.

Somo say they camo from Asia; others, from tho Phoenician and Carthagcnian colo nies. Somo Biblical s-cholars have ngi-eed that they descended from tho lost tribes of Israel. One who has been much timoiig them says that tradition, as well as what meager history wo have iu the premises, tend to show that they camo from noi-thea-sterii Asia, and are an offshoot from the Jrarntchoo Tartars. In tho caso of tlio Iavaj(H's und Apaches it is so clearly proved that they tiro known us Ath abascans. Tho Khoshono race, from which coinoth" present Shoshone.-", Arrupuhoes and Comanche?, camo down from British America so recently that tho source of their emigration is clearly proved. After them came the Cheyennes mid kindred races. Xc::t, tho Sioux, expelled so recently from British America that L',000 still remain thcro. Then tho Clu'ppewas und Crees, who drovo out tho Sioux. All theso point to tho Atha bascan basin as the plneo of their origin.
