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

iuteuded height of tho inuia tower

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-

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

shops were closed temporarily, oak
