Two young women, with jaunty airs and good clothes, swept by the perfumery counter. There vas a sort of mournful tono to the expression of the proprietor's face which was astonishing to behold. As most storekeepers would bail the coming of the bright-faced girls with joy ahd pleasant anticipations, the remark; called lor an oxpianauon. "Just watch them," he said, in answer to an inquiry. That is easy task enough. They are still at tho perfumery counter." They chat and they smile and look appealingly at tho clerk. They fondle the bottles. AU. out comes a Bioppur ; over uys u vial ; handkerchiefs and muffs catch the sweet scented drops tnat duddio out. Then a merry word and away they go. Perfumed 'without money and without price. "The old, old story." Thus re marked the storekeeper. "The young women lxavo regular free cologno routes, just as every old toper has liis free-lunch route. And the lunch tray isn't worked with any moro thorough ness, either. It was unusual a year aco for a customer to come in and waste time over the perfumery bot tles; they generally knew what they wanted and got it. Now the strange thing is when we don't have a hun dred feminines a day waltzing over to the cologne bottles to ask questions by the acre and take a free bath, with never anything more than a sugges tion of purchasing. Don't imagine that these are people who cannot af ford to buy their perfumery. Young women who are known in all the fash ionable circles of the city have got the mania, and one of those whom you have just seen is the daughter of a Charles street man who pays taxes on oyer $1,000,000 worth of property. Another woman who comas here to wether handkerchief and scent her dress once a week at least is a leader m one of the most exclusive sets up twn. It is humorous to sec some of ol them disport themselves at the counter. They uncork every bottle within reach, sniff" and sniff and sniff till long after every sense of smell is deadened, ask the price of this and tho price of that, want to know who tjses theMjneand-who thebther, where one was manufactured and where another, whether a certain odor is lasting, whether it is fashionable, whether a hundred things, and then at the tail end over they tip some one of the bottles, sometimes more xnan one, and take their daily bath. Stand it? Of course we stand it. How can Wo help it?" STORIES OF THE IMPB03ABLE. A well-husbanded lady is now re siding in the State of Arkansas. She is Go years of age, and is living with a courageous man who has assumed the position of being her fourteenth husband. It is said that in the hall of her house there are thirteen pegs, upon each of which hangs a hat duly labeled as the property of oiio of the defunct husbands. A child with two tongues is said to be living at Yonkers. Tho r cond tongue has grown from the root and on top of tho first. The mother first noticpd it when the child was three days old. It was then quite small, but it is now nearly as large as the real tongue. The anterior pnrt of the upper tonguo looks natural, but the posterior part is constricted and round, giving the unnatural growth a pear shape. The child, now two years old, has never experienced any difficulty in swallowing its food or breathing, looks natural in every other way, and has always been healthy. Much interest has been caused by the discovery of a tusk of a huge mastodon by W. Ilazleton on Hol land Creek, about five miles from Centerville. The recent rains caused the creek to wash out to a depth of twelve feet from the surface and ex- fiosed to view a tusk about six feet in ength by nine inches hi diameter in the shape of a semicircle. It was snugly imbedded in a stratum of cemented gravel. It is not petrified, but seems to be in its natural stato, although when first exposed to the air it immediately broke into small pieces. A singular freak of nature is shown in the case of Mrs. Polly George, a lady tfell known to many citizens, who lives two miles from Milburn, in this count'. Mrs. G. is 70 years old, the mother and the grandmother of a large family in this county. During her life she has cut and shed her teeth twice and now has commenced to cut lier third sel, having cut four teeth within the past month two above and two below. She also, a little over a year ago, shed her air, which was white with age, and t is now replaced by a suit of black hair with an occasional silver thread only. A rather singular incident occurred in St. Francis bottom lately. In crossing Tyrouza River on a mule the rider, a negro, fell off and was drowned. The mule came safely to shore and was taken possession of by the 'Squire. The river was dragged, the negro's body found and on it a Eistol. He had been dead three days, ut the 'Squire fined him $50 ana costs for carrying concealed weapons and confiscated mule and pistol to pay the same. Scientific Miscellany. The seas of India and China now have twelve tidal observatories, each of which is moved to a new spot every fifth year. A writer from Fiji asserts that when flocks of tern and other sea fowl rest upon the sea the water be comes smooth, an effect which he as cribes to oil emitted by the birds. Evidence of the sanitary value of sunlight is afforded by the recent ex periments in France of Mons. E. Duclaux, who finds that the light of the sun, in its action on germs, is fifty times as destructive as its heat. Distilled water saturated with oxy gen is now prepared in Paris, and is rapidly gaining favor. Aside from its healthfulness for ordinary table use, it is said to be valuable in the treatment of diseases of the digestive organs. An opportunity of studying a case of leprosy has been afforded Dr. Gutt man, who assures tho Berlin Medical societ' that there can bo no doubt that the living bacilli found in the system of leprous patients are really the cause of the disease: Tho Dutch government has had collected the reports of 1,300 eye wit nesses in order to prepare an accur ate history of the Krakatoa volcanic eruption, "which many suppose was the cause of the wonderful skyglows seen over a large part of the world. It is reported that Herr Palisa, of Vienna, the well-known discoverer of asteroids, whishes to sell for $250 tho right of namingsmali planet No. 244, the money to be applied by him to the fitting out of an expedition to ob serve the total eclipse of August, 1SS5. The conclusion has been reached by Mons. Foyal that the absorption of atmospheric oxygen by coal dust usually produces the rise in tempera ture to which spontaneous combus tion is due. He finds that lignite is ignited at the low temperature of 300 degrees, anthracite at 575 degrees, and other varieties of coal, in pow dered form, at intermediate tempera tures. Fish in Warm Water. An experi ment'has been made at South Ken sington to determine the degree of neat which various hshes may en dure. The water containing them was slowly warmed, when individu als of the several species were pros trated at the following temperatures: J rerca, sz degrees; roacn, szi-zs de gree ; salmon, 83 degrees ; minnow, 85 degrees ; gudgeon, 85 1-2 degrees ; dace, 80 degrees; common tench, bo derees; golden tench, 88 de grees; carp, 91 degrees. Brandy abont which as a fish restorer much has lately been said seemed to have good effect in restoring to animation the exhausted objects of tho experi ment. Shape of the Earth's Orbit Proc tor remarks that a common error is the supposition that the earth moves in an obviously elliptical path, where as it really appears to travel in a circle. Taking the earth's or bit when its eccentricity was very nearly at its greatest 850,000 years ago tho numbers 325 and 324 represent the actual propor tion between the greatest and short est axes of the figure described by our planet's motion around the suri. So that if a circle is drawn with a ra dius of three and one-fourth inches it nowhero departs more than tho hun dredth part of an inch from tho ellipse which would represent with perfect ac curacy the orbit of the earth 850,000 years ago when it was so much more divergent from an exactly circular form than now. Plant Parasites. Almost every sort of plant furnishes a living to its own fieculiar species of aphis, or plant ouse, by which great destruction is occasionally wrought. Dr. J. Sibley Hicks, an English entomologist, states that the hop aphis caused a loss in 1SS2 amounting to nearly $9, 000,000. This enormous damage is explained by the fabulous rate of in crease of the aphis, it being possible for a single female to see in her life time a progeny of over 4,500 million individuals. Another destructive species, known as American blight, occurs on apple trees, and was first observed in 1785 in an orchard near London. The vine aphis (phylloxera) has done immense damage in the vineyards of France, where it was first found in 1865. Fortunately, the aphites have numerous enemies, es pecially active ones being "the cater pillars of the lady-bird, the lacewing fly and its grub, "and the ichneumon fly. A lady-bird caterpillar will de vour forty or fifty daily. A. Stunner. Scene: Chicago. Small boy (to his sister) : "Belle, are you going to Heaven when you die?" Belle: "I hope so." "Will you wear wings?" "I suopose so, Johnnie." "But'Belle " "Yes, Johnnie." "What'll you do with your feet?" A Bridgeton, N. J., storekeeper has introduced a rather novel way of drumming up customers, by trcatin? callers to a cup of coffee. Experience is a good school-master, and all who havo tried Red Star Cough Curo admit that they havo learned its wonderful efficacy.

"What does it mean, that thoro is such a constantly increasing number of lectures and classes for women? It is a fact not peculiar to any one city. These same institutions are found in all large cities. These classes are of different sorts and are con ducted on different plans. For most part they are lectures, readings or recitations on English literature, French literature, art, in some one of its varied aspects, architecture, his tory and kindred subjects. "What is the" motive for these things and what is the reason for their existence? Are those who attend them in want of oc cupation, or do these pursuits provide a useful way of utilizing leisure mo ments? Are they sought for the cul ture they give, or because those who attend them wish to gain the reputa tion of having literary interests, and from that fact to be roni,iered par eons of culture9 An1 you made in - ra l- l3 !i. gest!oi!,ConstiiMl3ii!i, ! :iiis. !., appetite, Yellow :kn. ? : nm h's Vi . izer is a positive cure.
