What a feed of light all th:? throwi on the riarcns why such very aMe womeo wiite rrcW rcascnline rarces! George Gand, Cnrrer Ee l, George K;iot, are bat ttie type of rracy other.

When it.came :i id in the farm of triKiir.iant scccecs, ;ill wonoea wtre beceSttei by it, acd were eo rauch nearer to time nhtn no inch experiment o! lieguiea woald te needed. The rxere fact that womea take rcen'e Eamea in writicg, while ro man taO-f a woman's shows that an advantages ga'ned by the prcces. Meanwhi'e each particular eurcesa is culled exceptional, and instead of tfjoiciEg in it in a manly way. the critic of tte other sex is very apt if we may jnde from certain Eewspapersto rejoice in what it dees not prove, rather than in what it proves. It is as if we were wat:hing a Chinese wc man trying to walk in spite of her ban dgd fet. True, she has jutt walked into (he ctrtheast corcer of the room; but, mind yen, the Tvill never get into the southeast coiter; she can never do It; and even if she deep, there is all the rest of the room!" Tbe more rational inference would seem to bs ti nt if one point of the compass was not too rxnch fcr her, it would only be a question of t tbe when abe would reach ail the rest Wfcen Mrs. Eomerville wrote htT "Mecha.Liim of the Eeayens," critics of thiadescripi nn admitted tbat she had proved, indeed, t) at won en could master astronomy after a fnhion, but probably chemistry would bo beyond them. When llosa Bonheur painted cattle it was remarked that probably eh 4 could cot have painted rcen as well if she hsd tried. Then came Elizabeth Thomp30n is England, and painting men lighting ac tutl battle piecer and the critics turned rt tmd and wondered if she could delineate men at rett. No matter what a clever woman dtts, tte stupidest iraa has alwaye discern n ent enough to think cf something tbat she his not dote; and if, step by step, women teld their own in every conceivable deparirreut except in wilticg treats? cn wtmt or bckgaii icon, then it would suddenly bsdisc .v red tbat whist and bsckgammon we-e the inaccessible clmax of human intellect the ery north pole. I nvght say, In viav of tbe name of the latest oracle on one of tfcete subjects and that in that sscred region no woman need apply. After all, with due respect to the great rcatculiae intellect, dote not all this stoma little sll'y ? Wbynot simply reason about woman's icteHtct as we should about every oliitr cate of gradual developmeat? For im naun or other, mere physical s;ze has priority r n this p'anet tirtt the reptile one haa dn d feet long, then the mao eix feet lonj. This great cta-?ge made, it seems crcdib e that even tho wonsan, who Is only ii 70 fnet Ion p. n ay not be wholly crushed by n r emallctts, but may have her placs in the ccirerse.

Within the last cntary otter instances have followed Rachel iu dramatic ait. Kos a Bonhcaa in animal painti eg, George Sand and Gee rje Eliot in prose fiction. These cises are unquestionable. Other women have at leait reached a second aiy place iu ether spheres as Mrs. Sorterville in science. Harriet Martineau in political economy, Elizabeth Barrett Browning in poetry. The inference would seem natural tl at it is simply a cats of slowly development; a thing not at ad discouraging in a T70ild where evolution reigns, and the last comer generally wins. Meanwhile, as there U co profession not even the stage in which a woman is cot still a little handicapped, it is natural that she should disguise her woik as man's work ; that Faony Mendelssohn shcnld publish her music as her brother's and tbat Miss Murfree should completethelttr under the very misleading name of Charles Egbert Cracdcck.

31 rs. Kuejrhaud'a DlutDg Koom, lis Furniture and Decorations Kmma C. II ardacre la Cottage Ketrth. If the finest room in the house is the parlor, then Mrs. Busy hand had none: her term sittiDs rocm would tarely do either; nor the library, for the dining-room was quite as much a library. There were low bookcases aroubd the walls with pictures abore them, there was a round table with papers aad magazines in the center ot the dining room, thtrewcsLo side-boaid or constantly set tab e. 1 thick aside-board a c'umsy.annecejsiry piece of f urmtnre." ea:d Mtä. Uasyhand. especially in a small hooe. The silver sprpad oot on it for show, gets dusty, and it ne?1ä great care to keep a side board presentable. My dihes I keep in a tiht cupboard in (he little annex off the dining room. When my table ia c'eared.and the dishes are washed and put in my cupbosri, the food in the sfe or refrigerator, the colored tablespreai teplaced, atd covered withb:oSt until the next meal. When we carue, boks were about a'l we had. so I made part libray of totn rtimrg ana sitting rooms and it has worked well." B-th rooms had great rngi of mottled brown almost corericü the Soors. "I should have preferred to haye had the Moors entirely covered; I like tbe loot of a carp t extending to the baseboard. Bat with ttcss hsavy cases which could not often be moved, a p r table carpet was almost a necssitj ; therefore I stained my floors ifpaaijb brown around the border, and can have the csrpet moved and shaken at least ore a we-k, whicn is easier aadcleaner than sweepiog." There were a few china plate3 ia rests on the top of the low book shelves; there was a buffet in the corner filled with rare heirlooms ct ancient ware, there was a plaeqae on the wall; a pictur or two on brackets; a water set of deep blue irridescenl glass oa a tray, bnt so far as the ordinary paraphernalia cf a dining room was concerned there was cone of it at Mrs. Busyhand'a. 'Tnenew chairs I bought were mostly bam boa I ornamented them with ribbons, bnt bright cushions and gay pillows in them tbey are clean, serviceable and light. No werk "to moTe them about, and are comfortable summer or winter. They can be washed with scap scds like a board, and when discolored or marred can be gilded or bronzsd. My prettiest one I bought for a dollar, bs cause it was to shopworn. An hoar's work, a dollar's worth of brown golclliqaid bronzs, transformed it into a beauty ; another dollar in go!d brown satin ribbon and I had a chair for three dollars, that woald hare been cheap at twelve dollars." The dining room curtains were golden brown nun's veiling, with a lengthwise stripe of the .Nasturtium border the lovely border, like tbe wall. They hung from brown poles by gilt rings, and were kept drawn to one side, where they hung ia the softeat, unbroken folds to the floor. The nisinrtiacs were so perfect, that they did not suffer from contrast with tbe window of blossoming ci:tnrtlcr:3, vhieh wtre tha only flowers In the xoora soldaa, crimson, orange, lsraon,

rxsrocD. every coor, rioting u? tee stri ic acd tumbling down as in very delight in their lusty growth. At the north windo? was the little fernery. "Tee nun's veiling has been washed ssvcral times; looks well summer or winter. I rip ofT the cretonne borde-, wash the car taiEs. wipe the border with a dry cloth, replace it, and put my curtains up as new. I want all tbe light I can get, therefore do not need dark, heavy goods could not afford it any way for only the expensive are handson e in thess beayy fabrics. Thess cost me ore dollar and sixty cents a window, and cany out very nicely the solt, yellow brown tin's that I wanted as tbe main tone of my rooms." True; there, with the commonest material, was the household pcem of color work?! oat. Yellow brown wallt, yello bron paint, curtains, yellow baaboo chairs; dark brown fiiczs brown painted border to floor, mottled brown in rogs, with touch of crira eon in its border, to match tho nasturtium tints; the window of blooming colors that went with everything. And when I say 4,yei low krown," it is not really a yellow that I mean, but rather a buff, a cream, a neutral tint, eomethicg like what was known as oldfashioced wccdcclor.too yellow for a mauve, ard tco brown for amber. A very soft effective color it ia, and in walls nothing prettier for the climbing ferns and pressed vines (which made bowers of Mrs. Bcsyhands walls) to trail over. There was a wild vine with brown berries the vine stems slendar ard lithe that bunched itself in a most ex qnisite decoration, over the creamy wall, above and around the plctuie ot Evangeline, and tent a protecting spray to Raphael's Cht rubs, not far away. It was a wild vine, fouEd in the winter time, in the woods, aid brorjfht with its contorted garlands bodily into the pretty home fcr Christmas decorations three years before, and it was as crisp acd graceful and pretty as ever. There were half wreaths of grasses, hung above pictures, acd sheaves of wheat glittering against dark p'ctcre frames: cat tails tied with scarlet ribbon, showed ofl beautifully on the wall, a bunch of peacock faathsrs were likewise exquisitely defined, on the buff background, and tbe thousand conceita.of bitter-sweet and grout d pine; of filmy Spanish moss and fluttering autumn leaves caught therein ; of dried golden rod and yehow ground eherner, ol purple iron weed, and the reddish brown burdeck seeds; of sumach berries and dogwood ball; and the very handsomest of all I thought, was a branch ot tesselly sycamore taUs. With there decorations, dlspotei in the tsstefal abundance tbat Mrj, Busyhand employed, barer rooms thonhers would have had a peculiar fascination. This tasty little cottage did not impress one as being pretentious, essentric or staffed. Thre was no affection of ancient furniture, or dec epit splendor, orchioashop prattineas. You realize that a woman of artistic sensi 111 it us and sxall capital had set to werk to nake her mcstont of what she had andecu'd afford to buy. There was an honesty acd genuineness in everything, and a rest in the very atmosphere of the pla'.e, as if the home was satisfied with itself and everybody who entered it was satisfied. Common traditions were lest. There was no side-board or hall or parlor; no cne room decked aid the rest bare. It wasgenuine and simple thoogit, and its ornaments were mostly the gleauicgscfMrs. Basjhand'd rambles the bucca of feathery grasses, the spray of scycamore balls, the dried vines', aud the delicate feros mementoes in themselves of days sannv or sad, and put inio her strong hold, her tiny castle, with as mach appreciation as a silver water set, cr a stnffid plush chair would receive from other people. Tte text of Mrs Bosyhand's life was "Do vour best." WfH for every hou-ewife to have Ihemrne. In fool n charitable work, in

CtTiy ice pietiy iQings ou gives u-j iua treasures of field and forest which mtght ha frrmatiy, but are seen but by the few. "Doa't waste anything'" was another motto, And the nice dishes she prepared, the peawipers made from bits, the doll bonnets of scrap, the tbonsand uses shefound for trifles was to me a reproof and a lesson. Expressions. John A. T.i y lor, corporation counsel for the city of Brooklyn, answers to the inquiry of the civil service commissioner, thut women are eligible to serve. He says, "No erea t hardship can arise fioni placing on the salary list a few of the c'itia of females from whose money, collected through the tax-list, we are constantly paying the salaries of males." We find throughout the Southern States many women holding unusual posts, and busy at different kind.3 of work which are ordinarily left to men. Some of the largt new papers are owned and partly edited by ! women, ard some of the successful stockbreeders of Kentucky are of the ?aue ex. I The "post-masterc" of four of the largest citlt-s j in tue South are post-mistres3es. Aterery turn we find ladies, born and bred ia habits of seclusion and luxury, strusling cheerfully to support treir children. Before the war it was considered dero2;ilory for a Southern woman to earn money in any way. Now 1t is rather matter of pride that she does it. She gams instead of losing caste by refusing to succumb to the hardships of iate. Youth's Companion. L6t the miserable cant ot good women b?ing saoritlced to "making a man better," be blotted out of print. No woman oaht to risk her own l uppiness with the idea that she id callid to litt up and keep r man from perdition, a man, too, who holds himelf superior by the right of the ballot. He tells her tl ;it he is a lost sinner if she does not lead him Into a higher life by becoming his wile. He pictures the futmre i after murr ;t ;e) when she will see the fruition of her good work, he being model husband and blowing no rocgh breath of heaven to roug'ien her pathway through life. Bat as the years flow on, the aftermath is very different from the promfse of the spring, and tbe wife, who of course is her husband's inferior, aftr narrisge sees btr elf neglected or betrayed, and her children dependent npon her own weary hands for support This is too oftoa tbe invariable result when a woman rairries a man to reform him. Woman's Journal. It ia a fashion as old as civilization itsslf to deny to women the possession of that absolutely indefinable mentslquality known as wit- Men of large and liberal minds ?rat them humor; but the higher attribute 13 not their?, can never be theirs, from the very nam e of things. Miss Kate Saubern, a la iy who has been recently prominent In many ways, gave in Nev York a lecture on the "W it and Humor of Women," thai was said by RJCd feminine and mascaiine judges to ccnttin admirable specimen, both cf delicate humor and incisive wit. She collected pleasantries from the wiitings of more than two hundred women ; gave theai with a grace acd sparkle peculiar y her own, keeDine her sedier ce. many of them men, in a "continual vibration cf applaufe and laughter." Sae is convinced that women are not only the ctuseof wit in others, but capable themselves of evolving it; that the world would acknowledge this truth were the wit of woain le:s delicate, refined and spontaneous, easier to catch and hold in hard line3- In closing she asserted that ii it were possible to eliminate from the humor of men falsehood, profanity, and above all the squibs azalnst women, that there would be but little left of that boasted masculine treasure. New Orleans Times Democrat, Care of the Baby. I Harper's Bazar. i'our baby's garments should be loose, and frequently changed. As children of an tarlT age r quire naucn warmth, the best material' for tneir under clothing is soft fine flannel. Be sure yon haye your biby's night gown made of flannel, with a lonf skirt, for, like all children, he will certainly be apt to tcss off his bedclothes at night, and it is therefore necessary he ahould be protee'e I against any chill that night ensue before you awake and can cover him again. Yon must be carefol to keeo hia feet warm all day and niht, and fci this purps nothing trill ba fouud eo useful as knitted woolen socks. Let him al

ways sleep In hie crib 5?sido yoar bed, but cot with yon in yoar own bed. Keep him cut of currents of air, and be careful cot to p ace bia crib between a window and door. Cetil he is folly three years old he will want to sleep the greater part of the day. tlx bonra every day should be passed by him in slumber, besides the repote of the nicht Bat if at any time, either night cr day, he should cot seem inclined to sleep when he is laid down for thepcrpose.do not rock him. Rocking induces slumber, it is true, but by consestiEg tbe tlood-ve?sels o! the brain, which are in childhood tiDgnlarly susceptrb!e and delicate. Take the child in your arms if he will cot sleep, eiEg to him or put him on a rxattress in front of the rite and let him feel the warmth of the Marne on his body. Children are cften s'.eeplets becaute they are cold. Twice a day, morning aud evening, let yonr baby have a rath of wa'cr. The water used mutt be tepid,about 83 cr90 Fahr. For the EccrEin bath n!eunecentedoap,mas:iDg a lather cf it and applying it plentifully over the whole body, the head included. In the evening you do not retd the scap. Be sure you do not nie bard water, containing alkaline salts.for ycur child's bath. Immediately after he is washed envelop him in a warmed Turk'sh towel, and rub him a'l over thoroughly and briskly. Then powder him from head to fcot with simple violet powder, taking care purchase the best quality yon can procure. As soon as the child is dressed in the mornirg. cr even before he is dressed, if the weather be not too cold, put him on his mattress ttfoie the fire, and let him kick there to his heart's content. If this Is done bjfo.e he ie dressed, he should be loosely wrapped in fiancel in such a way as not to impede his free movements. As he grows older, let him crawl about as he likes, on y mind that no pins are dropped about on tne floor, and that all draughts are carefally excluded from under doors and windows. Exercise, untrammelled and vigorous, is as neceesary ia icfarcy as in adult age. In fine weather yon must see that yonr babo gets taken out into tte open air once every diy about noon, for an hour, well protected from cold, but without any constriction about the throat. Cloaks or tippets hanging from the neck are most icjerious; the free passage of the air in the windpipe is thereby hindered, and choking ec ay eEtue. We hope you get plenty of sunshine acd air in your nursery. While the nuree and baby are out fer their walk, open the windows of their room; and, unless the weather be too cold, do the same again later in tbe day while you take the baby into the drawir g-roeni for a change. Sansäine, re member, is the best thicg possible for yoar child, and you should let him have all you cancfit. tire warmth is the next beat thing, bnt nothing can compensate for tte wai t of eun heat aad light.

Details or Dress-Models Tor Black Sitk Dre8 Droes liounete. The New York Poet says: Among the minor matters of dress it is noticeable that the narrow and high hesled shoes, once ths rege, are wholly discarded. A lady now appearing upon the promenade wearing a pair of tapering French heeled shots is aimcst as great a rarity as one wearing a trained dre??.

By neglecting details, eq called, results which superficially viewed, seem strangely inadequate, are very fre quently brought about. lace pin the least awry, a collar or a lace frill a bit dirgy at its edge a glove or a boot with even a single button missing have power to spoil the entire elfectof aa otherwise perfectly appointed titlet, just as any neglect cf society's code, however am:!'J, prejudices the offender in the eyes of tho? whcee Alpt; and Om;i are represented by st vera scciai culture and etiquette; or, to take a stand on higher ground, ns saia 1 m A delinquencies destroy faith in tnat which in the n:.in is really a stanch and upright character.

The 'pb:oophy of littla things" is a study warth pursuing. Tr fies light ;i air, and but lightly esteemed by the thoughtless and inconsiderate, may procure results Lir from trifling or unimportant: The genius cf an artist rxay be seen in the single lily which he puts upon canv.i as strikingly as in the most pretentious handiwork of h:s brcsb. The woman die.'sed in the richest and meat attractive attire, by certa'n simple and deft accs:aons may heighten the charm of personal acuta rsne'e and add grace and b au.y to a costarus which even in the absence of ih? ss "ititi s"' iray have 1 esn regarded as peifcct.

MODELS FOK IlL.'.i K SILK DF.FSSI?. A bandsoxe dress that will serve as a model for other b'ack slllc dresses is of bU-k S cilienne, with tte front and side breadths falln g quite plain, like pane's, ehile on each sice is a deep pleated faa with narrow jetted galloon rnn on the edge of each pleat; wi-ir gaiicon holders the panels. Ab)ve tnh ij a shcrt crossed drapery of the 8icilienne.wiiile the back bargi long and straight to the f ot. The baf que is pointed, short, and wttaoat p'eats; a V cf the wide galloon trim? it in frcnt ard back, and a large bow with sssh ends fa.ls on the tournuie, bsing set on the bees jnit b low the waist lite. A more elegant black dress is of Bengalite. with ve;vet for tte vest, and a single deep fall of black b'scn lace gathered under the short front ard side drapery, and covering the foundation ak.ii t. The basque has a rarrowvet, all in cue pieee of velvet, with a row of j t buttons each side, and Is ced across with suk ccid. The high color has velvet in front of it the width ot the top of the ve3t, and the velvet enff has lace laid infolds above it. Tbe Bergaline drapery is a twisted scitf above the deep lace fall in front, while the back is in two pointed wings tbat have three wide pleated flounces between. Other black dies! es combine watered silk with a Denglice over dress, using it for the front of the skirt entirely, or elte with merely a front atd back breadth. For summer there are yery pretty dresses cf black surah,with a fan apron edged with wide lace, and sons ruffles ot lace or of surah at the foot, or else the skirt and over-skirt are made of stripes of satin and moire, while the basque is of plain surah; the latter is an economical dress, as it dees sot require lace for trimming. Very rich blick dresses for summer ara made of Chins crape embroidered or brocaded for the skirt, while the overdress is made of lace, eitler entirely of pirce lace cr else cf lsce Coerces farmed into lengthwise stripes that alternate with bands cf plain crape or of watered silk. These crrpe and lsce dresses take the place cf the brocaded grenadinea formerly med. while beaded grenadine is now employed aa part of combination black drettee. The beaded grenadine baaque and frcnt breadths ara preferred to the velvet figured grenadinea of last year, and these

cresses usually ha, e ajmantle o!.theame to 10 with them. DREES ClrOTES. D:ess capotes are of white or ecru braids, with the top of tbe cluster made entirely of rlow ers. For this clluter a bunch of maidenhair feins in which a few rose-buds are pier ed is a pretty trimming for a young lady's brtnet. Many yellow flowers are n.a. fed together for brunettes, and blonies will egain wear the bunches of marguerietj that "were in great favor l3t yesr. HellotrcpfR std violets are the fashionable Ihw tr t ith I'erUiecnees, but they are so seldom liled here, except for light mourning or for elderly ladie ?. Convoivuli in p'nk and bice clusters, nasturtiums in their maiy el!ow shRde, thistles and orchids of oldest form are favorite montures; these are often rraCe with velvet petals, and in many of them the long stems are masse 1 together, whiie others have tiny humming-birds or tees jetting upon them. Uoses are less used than formerly, but are sometimes arranged with folisge in the center cf a rosstte of lace. Sometimes lace is sewed together on its straight edges and made to trial straw boa nets in a scarf style, and to form strings. Tne hartes cf lsce that have log been out of use can te eruplojed in this way; they need not be cot from the rosette, or if flowers are prafeireJ on top, the Icng barb can bs fastenei on the lower part of the crown by an ornament, and pass down the sides quite separats frcm the bonnet, to fasten under the chin. There is no settled rule about striegs, except that the wide ribbons ofiered in the first importations have not found favor. Narrow strings of velvet, gauze, or moire ribbon are made quite short, so as merely to tie in a very small bow, or else tbey are each a yard and a qnarter Jong, and are tied in a loa;looped bow. The set bow of velvet, cat m four points and tightly strapped is convenient, and will ttill be generally used. The novelties in such thirds are bos of lac, either ecrn or black, fastened or strupced t-y beaded net or an ornament, or else the entire bow is forar d cf beads. Amorg other dres bonnets there :ire transparent capotes made of straw beads strung on wiies at intervals,and trimmt d with lace. Still others are made entirely of line tmU jet beads strung clcselv together to imitate straw braid, and the are simp'y trmmed by a cluster of pale blue myosotis or pink rcse-bnds, or yellow buttercups, and are fastened at the throat by a bow of jet, with the ends in leaf shape. WOMEN'S FEET. The Experiences of a Veteran Shoemaker) on the Subject, Cleveland Leader. 'There is little doubt In my mind," ta'd a Superior street shoe dealer yesterday, "that it is in the (election of footgear that people are most fastidious. I am well aware that everyone who caters to tbe fancies of the community has a hard row to how.but when the average person gets cut to purchase shoes then comes the time that is calculated to try men's eouls. It requires a hard effort for cne to repress a forcible ezprcasion of his f eelirgs on some occasions,bat by experience he learns to Dear the torture in silence. In after years he is even enabled to hide his thoughts behind the most winning of smiles. The man who succeeds in the business is he who succeeds in pleasing a patron with the first or second pair of shoes taken frost a box. Let him fail in this bsfore he has apradalarge array of footgear before tbe prcspectiTe purchaser and he will have aimcst ecdlets trouble. It all lies in the ability to tell at a glance the quality of ahoes desired by a customer." 'Is mnchdlfEcoHy experienced in dealing with women?" wai asked "Tbat Is t subject that has been much ai tatcd," waa the reply, 4 and in say cpinion

TO OJL.1TLi OISN it is one that has also been greaMy exaggerated. Women have a strong natural desire, one that aimcst appears to ba inborn, to have aa small and shapely feet as possible, but except in a limited number of cases te desire Is kept within bounds. It is not uri U'oal for cne to insist on crow ling a No ' foot into a thee two sizes smal'er, but the ixejoiity while bu ing footwear have in vie mainly their personal comfort. There appears elso to be a growing tendency iu favur ot comfortable sho e even at the ex enss of iocks," "Speskingcf size, do!s the average dirfer in varitus parts of the country ? ' ask)J tae reporter. 'I c'on't know just what foundation it has or what investigations have been made into tl e subject," said the dealer, "but it is pan e?ally recognized that the ladies of the East v ear the smallest shoes. It is said that the average size of the shoei-wcm there ranse from 1 to In Cleveland it probably ranges from the latter figure to 3)i, ar,d many (hoes a half a size larger are dispose! of here. Fhoes get larger as you progress to the West." "How about the Chicago girls?1' "Ths belles of that city have to some extent been slandered, but it is a f&ct that their pedal extremities are larger than the ordinary. Tae sizes probably run from numbers 3 to 4, so you Eee that although not as diminutive as they might be the feet of the young ladies are net eo large that they merit the widespread attention bestowed on them. As between Cbicsgo and 6t. Louis I think nature in this respect distributed favors with an impartial hand. An exception to all that has bsen said, however, is the case of a Sandusky belle. While only seventeen years of age she wears a number twenty four ahoe. Oa.o thus dees not take a position in the baAkeioucd even in the case ot feet. A Xe? . Yoik boot and shoe manufactory recantly issued t the trade a circular ot which the proportions of this yoang lady's feet form? d a prominent feature. After much trouble the manufacturer secured a piece of paper large enough to contain an outline of tke labt from wnich the ahoes were made, and n addition tilled the publication with poetry appropriate to the subject. It attracted great attention, and was much commented npon at the time " ' "What is the average size of shoes worn by men?" was next asked. "In Cleveland," responded the informant, ,"I think that it ranges from numbers six to e:gbt. It is of number ssven, however, that .we have tbe greatest demand. Once in a while we have a call for numbers eleven or twelve, out few men require protectors cf such ample dimensions. As in the cue of .the women the shoes worn by Eastern men are smaller than thos9 of their brethren in the West." Mr. Arthur Taylor says that the ilrst undoubted meution'of glass in windows he had been able to find was a patsae in Lactantiul, supposed to have been written about A. D. CCO, ''per fenestram lucente vitro." Glass for tbe adornment of church windows was introduced into England by the venerable Bede in tbe latter part of the seventh century. Leo III., who beratcee Pope at the end of the eighth ceatury, is said to haye adorned windows of the Lateran Church with colored glass. The largest deposits cf salt on tbe Pacific coast are found in Nevada, according to the Scientific American. The most remarkable of thtce deposits ia that on tbe Ilio Virgen, a few miles north of the Colorado Hiver, in the extreme southern corner of the State. A fsrmation occurs at thia coint consisting of rock ealt, retting cn, and to some extent in termixed with a sedimentary granite, and of auch magnitude tbat it may be (aid to constitute ft notable portion of the mountain itself.
