Tbr;iWline or Wlp-Walrns;. Baldness has grown so omnitn among rnn of every biys are frequently bild nowaJiyi h it it has almost caused to bo noticed. Conse quently, wigs are very little la demand, and the trade of wig -making h3 great ly declined. One rarely sees a win cow. except on seme very old fashioned, very artificial man, addicted to paste dlamondd and dyeing his whiskers. If it were not Tor for the wearing or wigs on the staff, wig-nuking would be al most an extinct industry. Forty years ago tr.en prematurely bald nearly al ways il.rnr.pd wigs. They did not like to be nrrarkable from the loes of hair. A man is more apt to be remarkable now from abundant (ban Insufficient hair. Birery year biMness seems to lncran.se. There is sound reason for the belief that the coming man will be al together hairless, or the came of this rapid'y growing tendency there ire many theories, no one of which is satis factory. B tldness prevails not only in this country, but througout civilisa tion. Indeed, it may be said that the higher the civillztlion the greater the deficiency of hair. It seems strange that, la this prolific time of inventions and discoveries, no one has found sorts 'method of restoring the hair. Theirs numerable nostrums advertised are worthless, and the few who try them are incurable believers In quackery. A limitless fortune awaits the genius who can miike two hairs grow where one' has grown before. The Mljcrlan viwrritltoe8.

A set captain recently took what are . probithly the most csrefnl observations as to the height of ocean waves In a gale which have ever been recorded. He made them during a voyage around Cape Horn, and to do it he went up to the rosin rt;jgiig, to get if possible, the top of the wave coming up astern ia a line of i?ht from tfce mast to the hori zon at th tack. Th8 reason he select ed the mainmast was this, that, aa a ru!e. it is near'y amidships (the actual foot of the wave below the mean draucht, equal to the sitht elevation), and tbe observer necessarily is above the true height. It, was a difficult operation, but, the Captain cb'ained son pood observations marking the h-iht of the waves on the mast. oD measuring th distance from these to the n a!n draught he found them to be as follows : S x'y one, f,l, r8. and Co feet respectively, "varying in length fronii.7. to PiO feet, ' ; Origin or Hie Name William.

BIUWLLL. : ::stc:::ir.i5 m r s i II quetn TIctoria's Duly Fare. The queen, like mos of the other roy alties, is a moderate and simple eater. Ia the morning, while still Id bed, a cup of chocolate Is pi Ten to her. with a square of hot unbnttered toast. . At about 10 o'clock breakfast is served, the queen taking lean, crisp fried bacon. with an egg and some slin slices of bread and butter. This is varied on different mornings by substituting a bloater or dried haddock for tbe bacon. At 2 r. M. her majesty takes a cup of vegetable soup, with two glasses of elaret, and generally a little cold chick en or game. During the afternoon tea is served once or twice. At dliner na ually atS o'clock, the queen take a good deal of aonp, very seldom any fieb. oales it he salmon, of which she is fond ; always a slice of beef or mutton, with vegetables, and the thigh part of whatever game !s in season. An ice, or some grapes finish the royal repast, and. with it she drinks a gras of sherry, two glasses of claret, and occasonly a hair tumbler of cbampalgne. The queen likes It in a tumbler. Before re tiring, ber majesty Invariably takes a glass of warm whiskey and water, and a trfscnit. When in Scotland, she be gins her breakfast with a little por ridge. Has she her likes and dislikes? Why of course, just like other old ladies. Sometimes she has an appetite for din ner and feels Inclined for eomething nice, served In her own bedroom and shared by ber favorite lady-in-waiting. It Is tbrn that the German comes out in her majesty. I have 'known her to ask for liver sausage and beer and pickled pig's foot, and not at all an uncommon supper at Osborne is a mess of shell fish, well saturated with vinegar. Her ma jesty's favorite dish, however, is withs out doubt, salmon, boiled, grilled or pickled. T"he Trince of Wales is a more elabo rate eater and likes half a dozen dishes and plenty of them. He Insists on a thick soup, never touches potatoes or pastry, aid declares that a saddle of mutton with jelly, is the true epicure's bon bucbe. lie is a hearty breakfast eater, and usually takes both fish and meat, with half a pint of claret and a cup or coffee. Tbe Princess of Wales is a light eater but strange to say. adores roast pork with plenty of seasoning. Her royal highness is also very partial to si ring ooions and salad generally. Use of Rhags. We read of Pharaoh investing Jos- epb with a riog when he made him ruler over Egypt : we read of the men and women of Israel contributing their earrings part, no doubt, of the Egypt ian spoil to the making of tbe golden calf. In all times the ring seems to have been a tymbol of dignity and au thority. In tbe early days of the ltoman lie public Ambassadors wore golden rings as pare of their official dress. Liter on every free Roman wore one as a right. although soote who affected tbe sim plicify of olden times wore iron rings. In more degenerate days tbe luxurious Romaes loaded their fingers with rings. some of tbe more exqulsitt dandles even going so far as to bave different rings for winter and Samper wear. The Laced:emonians, as became their rugged simplicity, wore rings of iron. 0?ar meotlons gold and iron rings as uaed in G4nl and Britain for money, a thiDg customary among ancient peo ples, and practiced even In Sweden and Norway down to tbe twelfth cen tnry, as it is now among some of the tribes of Africi. Ia days when writing was a rare ac complishment seal or signet ring was a necessity to Kings and nobles, and snch rings were never parted with, even temporarily, sive to persons In whom explicit confidence was pieced. Romance el aa Umbrella. While working in an umbrella facto ry in Sheffield, EogTand. about three years sgo. Miss Annie Ilodgaou wrote her name and address on an umbrella she bad just completed. The result brought about by this careless action is quite romantic. Aloog with hundreds of others the arabrella was shipped to this country, says the Albany, N. Y. Argas. At New York it was sold to a merchant and finally reached Long Like. Hamilton county, and was pur chased by a young man named Jerome Wood. Some weeks passed before he noticed the name on its interior. Then he wrote to tbe young woman whose address was on tbe umbrella. She an swered. The correspondence, thus stratgslj" "tarted, lasted until her de parture lit this country. She took op her residence in Troy as housekeeper for her brother. After SDms time she weut to Palmer's Falls, thence to Rc qaette Lake, where she was employed during the summer at "The Antlers." Mr. Wood was employed at the lake by tV. W. Darant, and it was there that tbe lady and gentleman first met. At Luzerne tbe other day Miss Hodges and Mr. Wood were made one. So much for the umbrella romance. Do not transplant tomato plants until tbe weather Is warm and danger of frost over. Cool nights will cause them to Le stunted, which retards their growth to such an extent that plants from seeds sown In summer will overtake them. It is a mistake often made to - transplant early. As long as the early plants are growing well In the hot-bed they can be transplanted at any time. On 0r two cold nights may cause a 1 of time and labor to transplanted planVa The hors-a0i of lhe prMnl 8hoai,i be injpr-Tfc1 Tnere D6da to be some .uing which will save tbe hoof from undue wear and breakage, while at tbe same time permitting of elasticity of movement whan tbe weight of the body is alternately bourne upon and taken from it. As a rule the smaller seeds are ens dowed with a shorter vitality than the large ones, and it la not safe to keep them any longer than necessary. Ia these days of wholes sale seed-farming tbeia is no reason why farmers should keep seeds over more than cue winter.

Work, either of tbe muscles or tbe braio, ia one of tbe conditions of human happiness. Without it tnere can be no wholesome enjoy ccent. Tbe idle man either seeks a substitute for tbe healthy excitements uf labor in vicious indul gence, or degenerates into a being only a few degrees above the lower animals. The trues; Me that most accordant with onr nature is one la which pbys ical and mental labor are judiciously mingled, alternating with such recrea tion as tends to refresh and renovate both. Neither constant bodily toil nor incessant stndy is advisible. When the muscles are tired give tbem a recess and do a little bead-work. When both head and hand are weary, try amusement Lght reading of a wholesome kind, a tump with your children, if jon bave any, a social evening with a friend anything, in fact, that may properly be termed innocent relaxation. This is rational Sire. It is a sort or life tbat be warranted to wear well, and it will not be clouded with fits of tbe blues. He who lives It will be younger in feel ing at tbree score than the man whose career has been a gallop after excite ment, at thirty-five. If yon belong to the working world, and eat your bread in the sweat of your brow, do not fancy that you bave, there fore, no opportunity to enrich your mind. Labor, thank Heaven, is not so ill-paid in this country that tbe toiler can not afford to throw down his tools, now and then, and cultivate his intel lect. Two-tbirds, at least of our dis tinguished men bave been farm labor ers and handicraftsmen. Very few of them were "college bred." Our com mon schools Impart all the instrnciiou necessary to enable their popfls. in aN terlife, to educate themselves tbori ougaly in the higher branches of knowl edge. With the foundation thus laid, what is thsre tbat a persevering and ambitious American can not teach bin self ? Nothing, we believe, that the human mind is capaole of mastering. Let it never be forgotten that our great est stater-men, diacoverers, inventors, scholars and artists have sprung from the rr.nks of labor, not from the silk stocking classes. ' A Colossal Engineering Project. The drainage of the great valley of Mexico, which has at last been defi nitely undertaken, will be one of the most interesting works in the history of engineering, whether we look at the stupendous proportions of the project, or at tbe magnitude of tbe sanitarv advantages which will accrue rrom its completion. A sacitarv engineer would say that the capacious vailey, in the middle of which lies the City of Mexico, wa, notwithstanding its fer tile soil and admirable climate, not in tended by nature for tbe habitation of teeming population. It is a deep, cup like depression, surrounded by a moun tain rampart and posssping no natural outlet for water or sewerage. Xever- 1 theleas, ror many cen'uries, not oo!y since tbe Spanish conqusst, but in Azetic and the still remoter Toltec times the valley has been densely populated. Tbe result is tbat the ground on which the large cities stand reeks with cor ruption, and tbe adjacent stagnant lakes are clogged with age-long accumula tions of filth, engendering the most dangerous miasmatic and typboidal coDdltioDS. If the masses of Mexican people were not in the habit of drink ing pulche instead of water, they would be continually decimated, for it is impossible in the City of Mexico to procure pure drinking water except by distillation. Under the Spanish vice roys, an attempt was made to drain the valley, and a tunnel for that purpose was driven through one of the rocky walla tbat bem it in. But through some miscalculation of the constructors, the opening was begun at too high a point and is now useless. J The new bor ing will be made at a level low enough to effectually drain the lakes. Wild Fowl in .Norton ound. Until the acqusition of Alaska by tb? United Satis it was a matter of woader wbere certain wild fowl went when they migrated from temperate climes on the approach of summer, as well as snow birds and other small spe cies of tbe feathered tribe. It was af terward found that their habitant !n summer was the waters of Alaska the j Yckon RUer, and the lakes of that by- perboreaa region. A reporter recently interviewed U. J. Green, of Norton Sound, western Alaska, and he con firms tbe statement of Dall aud others. "People wouder wbere tbe wild fowl come from," said be. "They see tbe sandhill crane, wild goose, heron, and other wild fowl every spring and fall pursue their unwearied way, but, like tbe wiLd, they do not know whence they come or whether they go. . Upon Gaiovin Bay, on the north shore of Nor ton Sound, is the breeding place of lliese fowl. All the birds in creation, seemingly, go to that country to breeJ. Geece, ducks, swans, and thousands upon thousands of sand hill cisnesare germing there all the time. They lay their eggs id the blue-Btem grass in the lowlAnds, and if you go up tbe liver a little way from the bay the noise of the wild fol ia almost deafening. Mr raids of swallows and robins are there, as well as millions of magnificent grouse, wearing red combs and feath ered moccasins. Tbe grouse turns white as snow in winter. Yon can kill dozens of juicy teal ducks or grouse as fat as butter balls ia a few moments. Tbe wild fowl and bears live on salmon berries, with which all the hills are lit erally covered." . ; , Aua.erTbl. ufn.tloa.
