If it hadn't been for the confound ed "eoaik' perhaps tho ladies of the present day would dress as eocuomi cally as Eve did. But the only place where this primitive style is emulated is in cor tain portions of Africa, where the women consider themselves in full dress when they have nothing on but a postage stamp in tho centra of their foreheads. What a beautiful example in sim plicity of dress, is shown some of the followers of fashion by that do mestio animal, the cat, which rises in the morning, washos its face with its right band, gives its tail three jerks, and is ready dressed for the day.

MIDDLEBURG, SNYDER COUNTY, PA., NOVEMBER There are somo real curiosities in faminine nature. For instanco, I once knew a young lady who could easily pass another one on the street without looking around to see what she bad on. l'oor thing I sho was blind. One of the worst habits a woman can get into is a ri Jiug-baMt But it is not mncli worae than tho modern walkiuadreso, which Indies persist in wearing on the street. When a woman approaches a crossing she pauses for one flouting nstant, (rive's a sudden fticic mat would lire the envy of a Mexican mustang, and catches hor train on the fly. There is no fun in kissing a gin when you know yon have got to do it, and a crowd isstandiug by to see fair play. Tbo bost way is to lie in wait for ber, and jump out whuu she is not expecting it t catch her around the neck, knock ber bsir down, tear all the gathers out of ber dress, pull ber huud away from bur face, have ber cry, '"Oh dou't 1" as yon press your lips to hers, then go off to a qniot place and think about it. Tho avenge asfe of woman is a bout twenty two years. She never lives to bo vory old. Homo of thorn look as if they were well advanced in years, but you should not judge by appearances. If you will take tho trouble to ask a woman how old she is, you will yet at tbo real facts of the matter. And discover that she is quite young. She seldom passes hor thirtieth year. About which time sho bngins to teir out certatu leave is the family Bible. Scientific uiofi are tryiug to ex plain why women can t throw Btones with tho foruo aud prccisiou of tbu sterner sex.

Parts of it have beuu used at various times during suvoral huuJred years for uhuic'u purposes and tho entiru structure was converted by Napole ou 1. into a bay magazioo. In 1812 the work of restoring unj complete ing tho grand editico was coiumeueed by L'ovenimeut., aud sinca thou more than $'J,o00,0U0 bavo been e&peudud in this way. At the present time there are about men employed aud it is thought the building will bo completed within two years The iuteuded height of tho inuia tower is 511 feet, which will bo the loftiest known work of man. A bull weigh ing 25 tons has beuu rcceutly cast fur the Cathedral from cannon captured from tbo French in the last war. Tho Btaiuod glass wiudows and var ious interior decorations are fine and worth the careful attention of the tourist The church of St Ursula is said to contaiu tho bones of the 11,000 vir gin attendants of St Ursula who were Bluuiruierea Dy tne Jinan in 450, and buried here. A large part of the interior walls of the cburob is ornamented with boxes of these bones. There are several hundred bushels of them in all and a more ghastly sight can scarcely be imag ined. The tresury of the church contains memorials of the Saint her Sarcophagus, her arm and skull, a gold ring which she -wore, and tbe arrow with which she was killed. Among otber relics we are shown an alabaster jar from tbe marriage sap- por at Uana, some of tue nones oi St Stephen aud two thorns from our Savior's crown. On our former visit we spent a Sabbath in the city and ' bad a good illustration of the way it is observed in Catbolio German cities. Walking through one of the principal streets ws found most of tho shops open, and all kinds of business going on much as usual. Soon there came along a Jesuit procession of several hundred men, women and children in holiday attire with banners, light ed candles and a brass baud. The shops were closed temporarily, oak branches scattered in tue street, in nnmmerabls little flags bung out. images Diougnt to sigui, uttie sbriues lighted, and flowers oast un der tbs feet oi tue priests woo were heading the prooossion.. As soon as it was past business went on as be fore. There were formal services in the cathedral aud the many church es.

Leaving Cologne by steamer there is little of interest Until we reaob the University town of Boon, which Was one of the first fortresses of the Bo mans on tbe Rhine, and was fre onentlr mentioned by Tacitus. The University buildings, like those of all tbo great educational institutions of Oermauy, aro inainguillcant and unworthy a visit nukss tho traveler learns from it tbat a great Universi ty does not consist in fine buildings but in distinguished professors.

This beautiful legend of his luiiglly devotion is tbo subject id ono of Schiller's finest ballads "The Knight of Toggeuburg." At Liuz are extensive quarries of basaltic, which is hero found in hex agouat coIuuh of from thruo to toil iLchcd in diameter. These columns aro used largely iu tho conutrnctiou of dykes iu liolljud.

Twelve miles from Cobleuz 'u Ens, the favorito resort of tbo (orman Em peror, where, iu 1470, King William brought on tho l-'rouch war by bis sharp reply to an obtrusivo FroucU ambassador. Cobleuz was the birth place of the distinguished Austrian 1'iiiue Minister, Pi iuco Metternioh. From Cobleuz to Bingon, a distauue of thirty seven miles, is the finest sconery on the Rhino. 1 brua miles above Uoblona is tbe castlo of StolenMs, on a precipi tous rock risiug auu feet above the rivor. As early us l-uu is was a fa mous castle, but 200 years ago. it was destroyed by tbe French and loft in ruins until within fifty years, when it was presented to the pres ent Emperor William by whom it was rebuilt Uuoon Victoria was entertained here in 1815.

Scattered through Boppard are a number of thoso strange old German bouses With the frames on the outside of tbe buildings. This part of tbe Rhine is much frequented by artists in search of the quaint and pictures que. Like several othor places on tbe liuioe in early times it boastod a Lodge of tbe Knights Templar, whose heroes are mentioned m rec ords of tbe Crusades. Just above, on the opposite side of tbe river, cronwing adjaceut spurs of the same mountain, are tbe ruins of tbe two nasties Tbe Brothers. These were occupied by two broth era who loved tbe same maiden lleinriob generously went to tho Urusadoa and left the prize to Con rad, wbo finally growing weary of ber, also went to the Crusades, and suddenly returned with a Orecian bride. This broke tbe heart of tbe deserted wife, wbo shut herself np in her caatle aud refusoa to see any one. Late one evening a strange knight claimed tbe hospitality of tbe castle, tie provea to ce tlelu- riob, and at once resolved to avenge ber wrongs, ie challenged Conrad to single combat but just as with battle axes raised on high they were about to ohop each otber into saasago meat the sad lady Inter posed and insisted on a reooncilia tion, to which they reluctantly con sented, while as waa nnally the case, the Injured lady retired to a eon vent which was always conveniently near. Tbe Green bride of Conrad very properly soon deserted tbe rascal and he Anally became reoou eUsd to bl brother. . Thy lived together in one of tbe castles and bad a good time all tbeir lives while tbe innocent aud mnch injured faithful wife got what i comfort she could from a life passed within the narrow walla of the convent. If I could have had the shaping of this legend I should certainly have re Mardod the beautiful woman with a first class emperor for a husband, tiiid bad ber spend her days in both the castles, and made Conrad curry water on bis back from the Uhiue to the castlo 18 hours per - day, aud given him only cold beans and crusts of bread from the sorveuts' table. Towcriug nearly 40J feet above Hi. Ooar is tbe castlo of Kueiufi-la, tbe largest and most itnposiug ruin on the Rhiue. Opposite St Uour aro tho lofty rocks of tho Lurlei, and bore thu Rhine is the narrow est aud most winding iu its course, aud has a depth of 75 feet.

Those were generally built close to tbe river and were usually circular. Tbe vines culti vated all along the Rhine wburover there is a southern exposure, and tbo suddenness with which tbe vine yards cbauge from oue side of the river to the other, as tbe stream change from one side of tbe river to the other, as the stream changes its directions, is vory noticuablo to au American.
