A Mtndr of Woman's fiend.
Every woman's head shonld lie stud
ied carefully by its owner, with a view
to making the most of it, becanae much
of her style depends on whst shape she
gives it and how she carries it. Br
nsing two mirrors—or, better, one of
the Japanese cabinet mirrors—she can
readily decide npoa the outlines that
best snits her face, and thus, by arrang
ing and adding to her hair, she can
prodnce those outline*. If she has a
high forohead, she shouldn't lot any of
the abuse of bang* hinder her from
bringing her hair down over it. Big
foreheads are not pretty in women, no
matter how desirable they may be as
brain-holders, and they shonld be re
duced by bangs or aome kindred de
vice. If the forehead is low, but too
broad, oover it at the sides. The varied
styles of hair-dressing now in vogue
lnckily give a wide olioioe to a fashion
able woman. The same is true of hats,
as I have already described, and one
has herself to blame for any lack of
beanty about her head, except tbo face
itself. .She ought, also, learn how
to pose her head effectively, not affect
edly, bat with a grace that appears
natural. The fashion among girls just
now is to tip the head to one aide, es
pecially while pretending to liaten in
terestedly to a man's talk, in a manner
suggestive of a bird. This is thought
to t>e heart fetching. Another whim of
the moment is to puff out the hair at
the back of the head, at the point
where the phrenologists locate Ihe
organ of arnatirenews. This bit of de
ceit arises from the belief that men ad
mire affectionate, womanly girls. If
some of the bumps tbns simulated were
real, and phrenology were a true sci
ence, scandals would ba multiplied by
s hundred.— Clara BtlUt AW York

A recent letter from Colorado .Spring*.
Col., says: C. A. Dot ton, Herman ▲.
Throcmorton, lira. H. A. Throe morion,
'iiAA .. 1- -
nnil Miss Nellie J. Throcmorton, of
Boston, registered at tho Muni ton house
last night. Thoy made inquiry con
cerning the difficulties of ascending
Pike's Peak, and in tho courso of tho
evening engaged tho Bov. Dr. J. Ed
wards Smith to go with thorn to the
summit of tho peak for tho purpose of
performing a marriage ceremony. This
morning at sunrise six bronchos stood
in front of the Manitou house, and in a
few minutes tho entire party were in the
saddle. Tho Ho v. Dr. Smith was
mounted on a particularly lively brute,
which, after waltzing on two legs down
tho road, from the hotol to tho bridge
over the Fountain, wound up his per
formance by bucking tho clergyman
over the railing into tho stream. Mr.
Smith was rescued, and although not
seriously injured, tho accident deranged
the plans of tho wedding party, for tho
clergyman declined to risk his health
by continuing tho trip, in spite of all
persuasion and the offer of a safe and
quiet animal. After much consultation
the young geutleman suggested that Dr.
Smith should come to this city, (Col
orado Springs,) and from tho United
States telegraph office, which is con
nected with tho signal station on the
peak, perform tho marriage ceremony
by telegraph. The doctor consented to
this arrangement, and tlms by accident
another element of romanco was added
to tho already romantic affair.
The snmmit was reached about noon,
and Sergeant O'Keefe was found in
charge of the station. Ho received his
visitors with his usual hospitality, and
when their intention of celebratiug a
wedding was announced was overjoyed
aid set ationt making arrangements.
The instrument room of the signal
station was decorated with flowers and
flags, and then the sergeant seated him
self at the telegraph instrument and
sent a call down to the Springs office,
10,tKKi fo-t below. Officer Jones, who
was in charge, replied and informed the
sergeant thst the Rev. Dr. Smith had
arrived and was ready to proceed with
the ceremony. Tue young people joined
hands and stoo 1 before the sergsant,
the father and mother of the bride
standing on either side, and the ser
geant at tho instrument real off the
questions of the clergyman as they came
thrilling over the wires. There was a
rapi l clicking for a moment and then
Sergeant O'Keefe, in a solemn voice, re
peated the message: " Charles A. Dut
ton, do you tske Nellie J. Throcmorton
to bo your lawful and wedded wife?"
"I do," responded the bridegroom, with
evident emotion. The sergeant tapped
tho telegraph instrument and in a mo
ment another message came and was
read by him: " Nellie J. Throcmorton,
do you take Charles A. Dutton to be
your lawful aud wedded husband 7' " I
do," said the bride in a low voice. The
sergeant heard it, however, and trans
mitted the reply. There was a mo
ment's jansc, and then came the solemn
concluding words. Up from the valley
to that small stone keep, 14,000 feet
above the ocean, came that message
making two heaits ono: "Then I pro
nounce you man and wife."
A Costly Dinner.
The most costly dinner ever served by
tho late Delmonico was that given fif
teen year* or so ago to 100 prominent
citisens of New York by the silver
tongued adventurer from England, Kir
Morton Peto. This ostentations indi
vidual expended 820,000 on that one
night's entertainment, S2OO for each
gnest. The first citizens of New York
were present, victims of this oily
scamp's pretentions phraa's. In a re
view of that dinner, the Timim has do
scribed a "marvel of skill and art and
extravagance. Thesaloon wan smothered
in the rarest flowers; the menn was in
gnilt on embroidered satin; some of the
wine cost $25 a tattle; the cleverest
mnsicians were engaged at fancy prices;
Clara Louise Kellogg had SI,OOO for
two songs, and a present besides of a
diamond bracelet. In all probability
such a dinner had never been scrvod in
the republic; it wonld have delighted
Bayer and Francatclli, and had the
ancient Greek Philoxonns been there he
wonld have again wished for the neck
of a crane that he might longer enjoy
the passage of so many dainties down
hi* greedy throat.— Albany Argm.

Bombardment of the Earth.
"It'a A lncky day for us that the
earth has such a good bomb proof on
the skyward aide," ssid the astronomer,
an he ntood r >atless and bareheaded on
the roof, wah-hing the meteors.
" Why ?" asked the reporter, panting
as he clambered np through the scuttle
i hole.
"You'd have seen reason enough if
yon had been up bore with me for the
lant two hours," naid the astronomer,
j " Why the earth has l>een undergoing a
j regular bombardment. It'a not over
yet. Look at that fellow, how be
skims? You wonld call it a shooting
i star. Well, there's as much reason for
< calling it a celestial shell. That meteo
roid was moving twenty or thirty miles
' a second ; yet it could not get throug'h
the laomh-proof that protects the earth."
" Where U the bomb proof 7"
"Why, right under your nose; all
around you; it'a the atmosphere. When
the metcoroids strike the air that sur
rounds the earth the heat produced in
conseqnence of their tremendous ve
locity runs up a million degrees or more
a second, and iu a twinkling they are
: changed to va|>or. If they could get
through the atmosphere they would
make it lively for us. No man eonld

tcoroids ATV plunging into the atmo
sphere all the time at tne rate of several
millions a day for the whole earth. At

August and thi 10th of Novemlter, they
' come in showers, and fairly ltombard
the earth. The soft air that fans the
cheek is to most of these project

are able to penetrate to the earth, but
they are compaatively very fewinnum
tier. When a mo'ooroid strikes the
earth it is called an aerolite. No good
mnseum of mineralogy is withont one or
more of theae black-crusted, iron-like
bodies. Humboldt relates that two
Swedish sailors were killed by an aero
lite on Itoard their ship in lt>74. The
thatched roofs of houses have been set
on fire by aerolites, and sheep and other
animals have been struck dead in the
fields by them.
" Well, there are modern instances
enough. We are no safer than our fore
fathers. Hardly a year passes withont
one or more masses of meteoric stone
falling in tbo neighborhood of human
habitations. A man is in more danger
of bciog killed by lightning than by an
aerolite, bnt it won 11 not be so if the
air did not protect him."

The telephone has been playing a

with the Theater Francais and with the
Grand Opera House. Each listener war
furnished with two telephones—one for
cash ear—connected with microphones,
one on the right and one on the left of
the stage, so that, whichever vr*y the
performer faced, the sound would be
caught. A writer in the London Time*
says: •• It is somewhat curious to watch
the different listeners, if we have not a
telephone in hand oumkes. Perfect
silence reigns; tea people stand round,
with their haodt holding to their heads
things which look like large ears. You
see an expression of satisfaction, of
sadness, of rapture, on their faces;
they look at each other and express ap
proval with their eyes ; and when the
end of the solo has been reached, and
they hear the clapping of band* and
bravo* of the audience, they lay down
their telephones and frequently join their
applause unheard to that of tile audi
ence at the Opera, unable to restrain
themselves from the expression of their
delight."
Tie Mexican mn*eum has recently
published a remarkable book written
one hundred years ago by a Catholic
priest, who was able to read the Aztec
writing* subsequently destroyed by
order of an archbiahop. The writer of

claim* that about A. D. *2O the people
living in the then populous cliff cities
of what is now Sew Mexico, migrated
to and overrun all the country south
ward, built great edifice* now in rains,
established great cities, and reached
Mexico or New Bpsia abont A. D. 902.
These people vt the cliff cities were
of six tribes, who did not migrate at
one time, but successively. They all
held that they were the chosen people of
Ood, and that He gave them ill the
southland for a possession. They found
Mexico inhabited by two sorts of peo
ple. Oue were men of great stature,
who were brutal and savage, and lived
mainly by hunting The others were
more numerous and civilized. It may
lw that both theae had also migrated
from the North and had their characters
modified by their conditions of life.
