N(arly all the camios used in this country come from Italy, though some very lino one 4 emtio from Paris. Tho quartz blocks from which tho cameos aro cut aro imported in shapes ready for cutting. Tho kind of quart. iuot commonly used are onyx, sardonyx, chal colony, jasper, turquoiso and certain species of shells. They can also bo cut on any stone or jewel except a diamond. A cameo differs from an intaglio in that it Is executed in relief, while the latter is a sunk engraving. Cameos are I est cut in minerals which present various bands of two or more distinct colors. One of the results of the new system of ce'ctial photography will undoubtedly bo tho discovery of hitherto unknown planets in our own solar system. The most dittint plinet yet dis ovorod is Neptune, but it h is I en long suspected that there are others whose orbits aro still more remote. Their great distance from the sun and the laintness of their light, however, has made it impossible to distinguish their slow movement among the myriads of nn-.tll lixed stars through which they tnivel. By moans of tho accurate photographic charts which aro now being made the movements ot all the heavenly bodies can bo at ont o detected by a comparison of plates taken at different intervals, uml thus the valuo of tho application of photography to celestial observations can readily appre ciated. A plan has already been suggested by which a complete photographic picturo of tho entire heavens can bo ob tained by means of systematic co-operation of different observatories in tho northern and southern hemispheres. It would require about ten years to carry out this project, but it would render an invaluable servico to science. The Lick Observatory in California will, when completed, be one of the most efficient in tho world for this kind of work. One of tho ( h ir t tors of 'Washington is a young man who pads his clothing so as to make him seem to bo nearly twice as large as lr; is. His clothes aro always neat, but as he wears them lie looks more liko a stuffed man th 11 a real one. lie wears a pair of boots with heels fully four inchci h'gh. His ci at sleeves are si long that they cover the tips of his ringers, and even beyond that lie has a pair of enormous cuffs. This young man is tho son of wealthy parents, and is generally regarded as being a trifle daft. One of his peculiarities is a love for his own figure. He thinks ho is the hand somest man alive. lie rents an office in on uptown building, to which no one save only a favored few aro admitted. This room ho .has arranged so that the walls and ceiling are entirely covered with mirrors. Stiango stories tire told of the young man's actions in this apart ment. It is said ho will remain thero for hours admiring himself as reflected in tho glas, all the while cutting up the most extraotdinary iint'u s. On the street he never looks to tho right nor to the left. He never speaks to any one unless fnt addressed. Several time lie bus bee.i guyed by young fellows who thought they would have a lark at his expense. In each and every iustaucu they have btcn soundly thrashed. ' CHANGES.

Gtill bloom the roses with their old-time sweetness Round tins dear cottage in my native land : Trimmed is the hedge with all its wonted neatness; The old elms stand.

Ah I but no voice of sweetest modulation Nor rippling laughter greets my listening ear; All tho bright seeno but breathes in desola tion, "Sho is not here!" "Not hero! not hero!" the murmuring elm trees sigh it, Tho rustling grass repeats it 'neath my feet, ITer cherished roses mournfully reply it In odors sweet.

"Five of them, Uncle Kress," said Tib bie, triumphantly. "Great, rich scrolls, as white as cream, each with a golden spear rising out of its heart, and sur rounded by rank, green leaves,crouching over tho edgo of Grandma Dallas' old majolica pot." "Heyday, heyday 1" said Uncle Kress, who sat among his manuscripsin the lat ticed library, with one quill-pen back of his ear and one in his hand. "Our little Tibbie is getting poetical. Golden spears, ch? White as cream? So I shall have to hand over tho prize to you, shall "Circumstances point in that direction, Uncle Kress," said Tibbie, with a gleeful sparkle to her eyes. "Ten dollars in gold. Don't you wish you had been less rash in registering promises?" "What will Isabel say?'' shrewdly questioned Mr. Kress, as he began to cut a new quill-pen, with a kecn-bladcd pen knife. "1'oor Isabel, she is so vexed about it," said 'Iibbie. "I really think, Uncle Kress, that if she could have done it with her glances, she would have blighted every one of those calla-lily buds of mine." "Tut, tut, tut!" said Mr. Kress, slicing diligently away at tho quill. "Well, Undo, I only say what I think. But where arc you going to put the lilies? On the leading-desk, or at tho foot of tho font?" "Haven't made up my mind yet," said Undo Kress. "Take them around to tho church Saturday afternoon, and I'll de cide at the eleventh hour where they shall stand. So Tibbie Kress (her "given name," as the old ladies phrase it, was Elizabeth) went merrily homo, thinking what she should do with tho precious gold-eagle, which was to be the prize for the pot of calla-lilies; and in the mid-t of her ex ultation there carao a pang of pity for Isabel, whoso lilies had all gone to leaf, and produced never a bud at all. "A new bonnet is what I need most," aid Tibbie, us she surveyed her limited wardrobe "a bonnet of split straw, with Nile-green ribbons, and a cluster of daisies and mignonncttc a real springy silting bonnet." Which was an entirely femluine de cision, especially w hen it was taken into account that Tibbie had not had a new bonnet in a year, and that Harold Vun rteker always came down to tho little Westburgh church for Faster Sunday. Isabel and Tibbie were sisters in blood. Mentally and morally they were as unlike as if they had been born on different continents. Isabel was a dark-browed, rich-lipped girl, who boro a grudge against fate for having made a school-teacher of her in stead of an heiress. Tibbio was a plump, smiling young damsel, who ac cepted circumstances as they came, and made the best of them. And .Mrs. Duckworth, the matronly old lady with whom they boarded, ex pressed her opinion, very plainly, "that Miss Tibbie was worth a dozen of Miss Isabel, and so Mr. Vanneker thought, too, or sho was oil her calculations!" "Well," said Isabel, contemptuously, as Tibbio came into the sitting-room, which tho two girls shared in common, "I supposo you have b.;eu tJ the par sonage, to crow over me." "Don't 1 e vexed, Hell," said Tibbie, depreciatingly. "Of course, I had to tell Undo Kress that the lilies were ready for him." "And to demand the prize?" "I hud a risrht to claim his promise, Boll." Isabel bit; her lip. "I shall never try to bloom lilies again for Faster," said she. "It'8 all non sense!" Tibbio did not answer. Had Isabel's lilies bloomed and hers failed, she told herself, sho should not have withheld sympathy and congratu lation from her more fortunate rival 1 That new bonnet the first new bon net which Tibbie had ever bought out and out from a miiliner in New York what a marvel of richness and freshness and beauty it was! How had she ever been satisfied with the commonplace creations of her own fingers, made out of sponged silk, dyed ribbons, and flowers which were so ut terly unflower-likc? These were the merest apologies; this was a bonnet! Tibbie could not help feeling pleas antly conscious of it as she passed up tho church aislo that morning, wondering if it becamo her secretly glad to think that Harold Vanneker would be thereto see her wear it. But. as she settled herself into her own ! cosy little corner of tho church-pew, she ; chanced to glance up, and to her surprise j there was the painted maiolica not and i the rich, arrow-shaped leaves seeming to overflow its brim with greenery on either side; but not a solitary lily was to bo seen. Was she dreaming? Where were tho five royal scrolls of whiteness which had lifted up their imperial heads when sho carried in the pot last night? Boscs blossomed on the altar; bou quets of white carnations flung spicy sweetness on the air; slender ropes of smilax were festooned along tho rails, with here and thero a knot of violets fastened in; a vase of cut callas stood on the reading-desk. Out of all tho Easter lilies that Tibbie had watched prow and expand to their pearly perfec tion, not one remained. She thought the time never would conic when she could see her undo como down tho steps, with his sermon-case under his arm, and his old-fashioned soft hut pulled over his brow. In the breezy church-yard the willow boughs swayed to and fro, the short grass was starred with dandelions, and the bland spring sunshine folded everything in a veil of gold ; but a cloud seemed to descend over all these things when Tib bie caught the grave, reproachful look on her uncle's face. Harold Vanneker stood beside Mr. Kress; he lifted his hat to Tibbie; but the girl scarcely noticed his presence. "Uncle, you are vexed with me!" she cried. "What is it? Is it the bonnet? Did you think it was too gay? And oh, uncle, what became of the lilies?" Uncle Kress looked gravely at her. "I scarcely expected such a tricky thing of you, Elizabeth," said he. "If you had wanted the ten dollars so badly, why didn't you tell me, and I would have given it to you, out and out? But deceit even practical joking God's altar is not the place for that!'1 Tibbio had grown very palo. "Uncle," she gasped, "I don't under- stand you ! "We will not discuss it further," said Mr. Kress, waving his hand. "You will find your lilies lyinar out there under the southern eaves. Take them and go!" Tibbie was turning vaguely in the di rection to which her uncle pointed, but Mr. Vanneker was before her. Stooping down, ho gathered up a handful of coarse paper scrolls with gaudily-painted yel low pistils in their centers. "Paper lillies!" pasped Tibbie "arti ficial ones ! But I don't understand this ! What does it all mean ? Where are my lilies?" "These are the lilies that I found fastened rudely in among vour green leaves this morning." said Mr. Kress, coldly. "It was a poor jest to play, a deception which was self-evident in it self. Not like you, Elizabeth no, not like you!" Tibbie looked from her uncle to Mr. Vanneker without a word. For the mo ment it seemed as if speech were frozen upon her lips; but all at once sho broke into a piteous cry. "Who has been tampering with my lilies," she wailed "my white, beauti ful lilies;" "I think I have a clew to this puzzle," said Mr. Vanneker, calmly. "I was in tho back of Durivagc's book-store, yester day, looking at an old black-letter edition of Chaucer, that he had laid aside for me, when a lady came into the front de partment and asked the price of somo paper lilies that lav on the counter. In stinctively I looked up, for they were tho very things I had laughed at, asking Durivage jeeringly if he supposed that any one would be insane enough to pur chase such monstrosities as that ; and ho had replied that there was more imita tion in that sort of thing than I had any idea of. To my astonishment the lady was Miss Isabel Kress, and sho bought the lilies and went out. We came down from New York in the same train, but I was prevented from going and speaking to her by a man who button-holed me on business matters, and I do not think sho knew of my bonis; near. When I strolled past the church last night, I saw Isabel Kress herself going in. I stopped and asked the old sexton if the church was open. " Xoa, not n g'lar open,' he an swered; 'but there's a young lady a-put-tiu' flowers in.' "Naturally I thought of Tibbie, here, and went in. But it was not Tibbie whom I saw in the far end of the church, stealthily breaking off the white blossoms in the great majolica pot and inserting the odious paper imitations in their place it was Isabel. I stood still and watched her as sho ttansferred the real lilies to a basket that hung on her arm, as she gath ered her shawl around her and glided out again, with a strange, evil smile on her 1 p.qiiite unaware of me standing in the jhudow of the gallery. "It was a st nm ire pantomime. I did not understand ii then, but I understand it now. Miss Isabel Kress bore her aU- ter some grudge, and sought to be re venged." "Yes," said a quick, excited voice close by, as Isabel emerged from the sheltering shado of a group of laurels, "it is all true, every word of it! I meant to take down Tibbie's pride, and I've done it for a moment at least. There's my confession make what you will of HI" And with a short, shrill laugh, sho swept away, her lip curved contemptu ously. "My dear," said Mr. Kress, drawing Tibbio close to him, "forgive me. I judged too suddenly; but I didn't think it was in Bell's naturo to be so vindic tive." "Let me walk homo with Tibbie, sir," said Mr. Vanneker. "You are in a hurry, and she does not seem able to walk fast." They did not make great haste back to Mrs. Duckworth's cottage not by any means. They walked around by the river, where the leaf buds were swelling out and there was a faint, sweet smell of growing grass; they lingered under the alders, and stopped to rest by tho moss grown churchyard wall; and when at last they reached the cottage, and Vanne ker parted from her at the door, old Mrs. Duckworth nodded her head and looked wondrously wise. "I don't a bit mind my pudding being over-baked now." said she. "Bless me I don't I know what it all means? There's a ring on her linger that wasn't thero this time yesterday; there's a look in her eyes that warms my heart. Well, well, Easter is a lucky day to get engaged upon !" And Mrs. Duckworth was not far wrong in her conjectures. Helen Forrest Graves. Baldness. The cause of the fallinar out of the hair is not fully understood. In most cases it is doubtless due to some failure in tho nutrition of the hair follicles. In the aged it connects with the feebleness that characterizes the functions of tho skin generally. Heredity has much to do with it, as it has with all the bodily functions and organs. Individuals in some families become bald early in life from generation to generation. Coarse hair seems to have more vigor than tine. It is well known that violent emotions sometimes suddenly blanch the hair,.he cerebral nerve (the tropic centre, so called), which controls tho nourishment of the hair, being affected by the shock. Fright has caused a rapid and almost im mediate falling off of the hair. Cases are on record of persons appar ently in vigorous health whose heads, faces and bodies have become absolutely bare. There was no appreciable cause. The fault was doubtless at tho nutritive centre in the brain, but what it was, no one can certainly say. "When the head is scurfy, there is often a connection between this condition and baldness. It is found that the scurf mixed with vaseline and applied to the hair of an animal causes a baldness of the part. In such cases tho cause is probably a microscopic vegetable para site Two persons should never use the same hair-brush. Thero is little doubt that barbers havo thus communi cated baldness from one patron to an other. There is a form of baldness in which the hair suddenly begins to fall out in a small round spot, which gradually in creases in area, the hair near the edge of the circle being brittle, and more or less broken. This has been proved to be due to vegetable organisms, which the micro scope has detected within the hair tubes. It is probable that coverings which heat the head may result in loss of hair. But the effect is doubtless due to subse quent chilling of the surface, just as a severe cold or inflammatory rheumatism may result from sudden cooling of tho heated body. Tho main remedy against premature baldness is the application of mild stimulating washes and tonics. Youths' Companion. He Can Borrow the Knifo Now. William Euclid Young enjoys on tho Stock Exchange the same kind" of repu tation that the late General Grant had through the country that of being a silent man. He possesses the rare ac complishment of knowing how to say little, and that little in tho briefest way. But Sir. Young has a deceitful memory, and for weeks has not been ablo to re member to buy a knife, so that every time tho point of his pencil has been broken ho has run to one of the em ployes of tho Exchange and simply said in tones that adu.i'ted of no refusal: "(Jive me your knife." Having used tho knife, Mr. Young would return it without a wor.l. He did this so frequently that the employe be came tired ot his brief but imperious de mand. The other day Mr. Young again approached him and said; Give mo your knife." The employe, however, wit:i equal brevity, replied: "Haven't any." Mr. Young walked away without a word, but after an interval of three days he again approa he I the employe, and handing him a $5 gold piece said: "Buy one." Ho then walked away. The employe's kuife is now at the service of Mr. Young whenever he calls for it. Au York World. She Knew Her by Heart. Children often give to figurative ex pressions an entirely new meaning. Thus, I wus speaking to my little girl the other day about the approaching visit of her cousin, whom she professed in advance to love more than all her other little cousins. "You have never even seen her," I said; "how can yen love her so much?" "O mamma! I know her by heart," she feneutly exclaimed. lialiy-huod. queer habits of fish FACTS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN ABOUT THE FINNY TRIBE. California Salmon Skip-Jack and I'lyltiff I'lsh Pursued liv Porpoises Kunlish and l heir Nest. Many new and curious facts about fishes have been brought to light in f scientific work just published under th auspices of tho Government, on the fisheries and fishing industries of the United States. Through permission of tho publishers of the book a reporter for tho New Y'ork Mail and Express was permitted to examine a copy. Of Cali fornia salmon it says that, strange as it may seem, very little, almost nothing in fact, is known of its ocean history. "We know that salmon leave the mouths of rivers at stated times, but where they go, or how they fare, or what motive guides their course in their mysterious ocean sojourns, no one knows. I'hcy arc found to have decp-sca fish in their stomachs when they first make their appearance near enough to tho mouths of the rivers to be captured, which points to the deep sea as their ocean feeding-ground. They are often caught with marks of seals' and sea-lions' teeth upon them, which show that they are preyed upon in the sea by these ene mies, though, perhaps, it is only in their journey to the rivers' mouths that they have to run tho gauntlet of seals and sea lions, for they probably have a capacity for standing deeper water than their just-mentioned enemies. But if their ocean history is little known, their in land career is interesting enough to make up for it. From the moment the salmon enters the river, which it is sure to seek onco in one or two years, its progress is one of interest. It first proceeds, at its leisure, to the head of tide-water. Hero it stops awhile and seems to play about between fresh and salt water. Whether it shrinks from encountering the sudden change fram salt water to fresh, which is probably the cause of dallying, or for other causes, it usually spends two weeks or more hovering about the border line between sea water and river water. When it has overcome its apparent re pugnance to making the change to fresh water, it makes a rapid charge up the river for the clear gravelly streams.Now, paradoxical or unreasonable as it may seem, it stops eating. Nothing is ever found inside of a California salmon to show that it has eaten a particle of food in fresh water. As a proof of this state ment, out of a great many thousand spec imens that have been examined, no food has been found in the stomachs of any." Of tho skip-jack, a member of tho flying-fish family, it is stated that it "does not swim deep in the water, und in its harmless manners resembles the flying fish, as well as in the persecutions it suf fers from the ravenous inhabitants of tho ocean. The methods it adopts to escape from their pursuit are peculiar. It is sometimes seen to rise to the surface in large shoals and fly over a considerable space. But the most interesting specta cle, and that which best displays their prcat agility, is when they are followed by a large company of porpoises, or their still more active and oppressive enemies, the tunny and bonito. Multi tudes then mount to the surface and crowd on each other as . they press forward. When still more closely pursued they spring to the height of several feet, leap over each other in singular confusion, and again sink beneath. Still further urged, they mount again and rush along the surface by repeated starts for more than 100 feet without once dipping be neath or scarcely seeming to touch the water." The common sunfishis found to be very intelligent. It prefers still and clear waters. "In the spring tho female pre pares herself a circular nest by removing all reeds or other dead aquatic plants lrom a chosen spot of a joot or more in diameter, so as to leave bare the clean gravel or sand. This sho excavates tc the depth of three or four inches, and then deposits her spawn, which she watches with the greatest vigilance, and it is curious to see how carefully she guards this nest against all intruders. In every fish, even those of her own species, she sees only an enemy and i restless and uneasy until sho has driven it away from her nursery. Wo often find groups of thew nests placed near each other along the margin of the pond or river that the tNh inhabit, but always in very shallow water. These curious nests are most frequently encircled by aquatic plants, forming a curtain around them; but a large space is invariably left open for tho admission of light." Of the swordtlsh it is stated that when excited its motions are very rapid and nervous. They are sometimes seen to leap entirely out of water. "It strikes with the accumulated force of fifteen double-handed hammers. Its velocity is equal to that of a swivel-shot. Many very curious instances are on record ol tho encounters of this fish with other fishes, or of their at tacks on ships. What can be tho inducement for it to attack objects so much larger than itself it is hard to surmise. It surely stems as though a temporary insanity sometimes takes possession of tho rMi." An old swordlish fisherman told Mr. Blackford that his vc-sel had been struck twenty times. Thero are, however, many in stances of entirely unprovoked assault on vessels at sea. The largest one cvei taken by Captain Benjamin Ashby, for twenty years a swordli-h fisherman, was killed on the shoals back of Kdpartown, Mass. V lcn salted it wcLhcd Gl!f pound. Its live weight must have been us much as 7oi) or kiio. Its sword meas tired nearly six feet. "There are two things which I posi tively refuse to cat lor supper," said Gubb'n-i.

The most useful as well as the most in telligent and sagacious dog of tho many breeds of dogs in tho British Islands is the Scotch collie, or shepherd's dog, of which thero aro two well marked varie ties, tbo rough-coated and tho smooth skinned, equally intelligent. Both are very hardy dog, capable of any amount of work. Though tho collio is a verv valuable dog for many purposes, yet as a sheep and cattle dog he is tho best known. His marvelous sagacity and readiness to act or rcfiain from acting at his master's slightest nod mukes him the fittest dog in the world for tho farmer. A good collie can do almost anything with a flock of sheep. The collie is no less val uable us a cattle dog. Whilo quietly fee ling on tho gr.izings of their native glens, cattle are easily herded, and al most any deg is good enough for any thing that has to be done. It is when herds of cattle collected at the different local markets, fresh from their native wilds, have to be, day after day and night after night", kept together, as they arc being slow ly diicn to tho great market-, that the Scotchman considers the active und lung-enduring; collio of pure strain as an indispensable servant. Ni.fht and day, for days together, and be tho weather us it may, the collie is dose in charge, const intly on the alert, often hungry and often, too, without the com panionship of his master. Often tho dog is left in chargo of the drove all by him self, either by" night or by day, wet and cohl an 1 hungry, but vigilaiu and faith ful always. These who know bo.-t ca shier tho Scotch collie of pure strain, whether rough or smooth, us the best ull round dog in t'le world. Cultivator.
