Because the excessive action ot j ^e a few choice shades of hair which

of much ingenuity. The styles
mgement are as varied as the
taste and individuality thereby repre

; any appearance of softness or smooth-

arrangement. The back Lair is still
dressed high npon the head. The
back of the neck ifl left quite bare.—
Braids, puffs and light fluffy carls are
disposed at will in the general
make-up. The front hair is
crimped and frizzed, and falls
low upon the forehead- dbate-
laine braids for the mel ting season are
voted de trap. The Spanish comb or
bow of ribbon, to match the costume
in point of color is desirable for dress.

effect.
The latest models of Paris show
.classical contours, instead of the un
natural-looking protuberances called
chignons- The fact is,‘there was nev
er so much false hair used, ‘bnt it is in
such elegant natural-looking switches,
that it arranges precisely the same as
the head; which it adorns. A good
switch, is a life investment, and it be
hooves one to select it with as much
care as if it were a garment of camel's
hair, warranted to last forages. There

lleaUi Bed Interview by Telegraph. I
The Australian overland telegraph ■
extends for 1,900 miles across the J
great wastes of Australia, from Ade-j« II £ | ft KJ ft II C C
laide on the south to Port Darwin on ; U V I V (I U U O t ;
the north. The stations are few and far ]
apart, and the line : s consequently j
greatly exposed to attacks from the
natives, who pull the wire down, and;
cut away great quantities of it for the !
purpose of arming the j oints of their!
spears. They also smash the porce- ;
lain insulators and nse the sharp edged i
pieces to scrape their spear blades into
lb set solid, crisps np tbe fleshy fibers
and prevents heat from having a grad
ual access to the interior,
Why, when a good soup or brotn is
required, should the. meal be piit into
dold water?
Because, as the heat is developed
very! gradually, there occurs an inter
mixture between the juices of the
i!ish add the external matter. The
foluble and savory parts of the meat
escape and enrich the soup.
Why are.stews generally healthful
rind digestible?
Because, being compounds of differ
ent, substances, they contain all the
Clements of nutrition, and as the of
fice of the stomach is to liquify solid
food before digesting it, the previous
stewing assists the stomach in this
particular.
What causes the crackling noise
when lard is put into a frying pan?
Lard always contains some portion
of water, and it is the expansion of
this water into steam, forcing its way
through the fat, which cahse« the
Crackling noise. The heat at which
fat or oil boils, is much greater than
water. When the crackling ceases
the water has been driven off from the
fat, and when the fat begins to boil or
bubble, is heat will be very high.
Why in frying fish should the fat or
oil be.made very hot before the fish
are put in?
Decause, if the temperature is low
when the fish is put into the frying
pan, it becomes sodden in the steam
formed by its water, but- it the oil be
very much heated the water will be at
once driven off, and tbe gsh nicely
browned by the scorching oil.
Why should fish or meat that is be
ing fried be frequently turned?
Because the turning assists the
evaporation of the water. When the
fish or meat is allowed to lie too long,
steam is generated under it, and the
substance becomes sodden; and the
moment the steam is driven off, the
surface catches to the hot pan, and
becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broiled meat so. juicy and
savory?
Becanse the action of the fire, hard
ening its surfnee, seals up the pores
through which the juices might .es
cape. It acts in the same way that,
the sudden dip into boiling water does
npon' the joints of meat, but more ef
fectually. To turn broiling meat nev
er us a fork, but tongs; a fork opens
an escape for the juice, and wastes
tho best part of the meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more
wholesome and nutritions ‘ by being
_ boiled in two waters?
Becduse (according to Dr. Paris)
cabbage contains an essential oil,
which is apt to produce bad effects;
and he recommends that it should be
boiled in two suggestive waters, till it
is soft and digestible.

Gray hair is considered so stylish
that many very youthful ladies have
bleached their dark locks with acids,
while others resort. uuequiyocally to
powder. This prerogative of advanc
ing years is not left in undisputed
monopoly of what is most rare and de
sirable, becanse it is fashionable.

queenly effect With many of the latest

A scarf of twisted silk beneath the

Barrow Creek is 1,200 miles from
Adelaide and 700 miles from Port
Darwin, whflelt is in the amidst of a
district thickly peopled witliblacks.—
On-the" evening of -Sunday, February.
22d. all the men of this station were
lying out of .doors smoking, when they
were suddenly attacked from the east
ern corner of the buildiug by a large
body of natives, who speared Mr.-Sta
pleton, the master. As the English
men hod left their arms inside, they
made a‘ rush for the 'entrance, bnt
they were driven back.by a shower of
spears, which wounded two of them.
Finding their retreat cut off, they ran
around the building in the hope that
the natives would follow them, and so
be drawn from Lie doorway. Happily
for them the natives gave chase; and
thus, when. the poor fellows came
round again to the front of the house,
they found; the door unguarded.
One, however, Was fatally wounded
as he ran. They at once seized [their
rifles, and soon drove the natives off.
They then telegraphed to Adelaide the
news of what had happened, and Dr.
Gosse, one of the Adelade snrgeons,
did all that a surgeon can do by pre
scription and advice for patients who
arc l.ffOO miles away. Poor Mr. Sta
pleton was beyond cure, but be and
his wife, vho are living at Adelaide,
1,200 miles away, were able to ex
change a few parting words. Dr.
Gosse bad to insist that the wounded
men should be kept awake all night,
for fear that their flesh might have
been poisoned by the spears. Three
days later Mr. Flint, the woundedop-
erator. spnt the following message:—
“At 1p. m. natives attempted to sur
round station. Three shots fired,
killing one native. Fires all round
station. Expect another a ttack. Stric
gnard kept. Please hurry relief.”—
Happily relief was near at hand, for
five teamsters and their superinten
dent were within a few hours of Bar-
row’s Creek. Moreover, Mr. Taeker,
the station master, at another creek,
“who had been traveling southward
along the line, yesterday attached his
pocket instrument to the wire at Dix
on’s Creek, and spoke to Mr. Todd,
the superintendent at Adelaide. ” Mr.
Tucker and the five men who were
with him were ordered to proceed with
all dispatch to'Barrow’s Creek, where
they relieved the little garrison.

Prayer Speedily Answered.
- Washington Allston'who stoqd atthe
head of American artists half a century
ago, was at one -time. so reduced by
poverty that he locked his. studio in
London, one day, t]reew:himself.6n-kis
knees and prayed for a loaf of.breadjfor
himself and wife. While thus en
gaged a knock was heard at the door,
which the artist hastened,to open. A
stranger inquired for Mr Allston, and
was anxious to learn who was the for
tunate purchaser of the ■painting of
the “Angel Uriel,” which had won the
prize at the exhibition of the Royal
Academy, "e was told it was not
sold. “Where is it to be found?” “In
this very room, ’ ’ said Allston, produo
ing the painting from U corner and
■wiping off the dust. “It is Tor sale,,
. but its value has never been adequate
ly appreciated, and I would not pait
with it.” “What is its price?” “I.
have done .affixing any nominal sum
r- I have always; so far, exceeded any
offers. I leave it to you to name the
price.” “Will four hundred pounds
be an adequate recompense?” “It is
more than I ever asked for it.” “Then
the painting is mine, ” said the stran
ger, who introduced himself as tbe
Marquis of Stafford, and from that
time became one of Mr. Aliston’s
warmpskfriesds and patrons.
Modes of Burial in the South Pacific.
The entire neighborhood of Auraka
was deemed sacred to wandering, dis
embodied spirits, who were believed
to come up at midnight, showing the
ghastly wounds by which they met
their fate. The main road of the isl
and now runs through this ancient
stronghold of superstition, neat cot
tages peeping out of . banana planta
tions on either side of the road. If a
body were buried in the earth, the face
was invariably laid downward, chin
and knees meeting, and the limbs well
secured by the strongest sinnet cord.
A thin covering of earth was laid, over
the corpse, and large heavy stones
piled over the grave. The intention
was to render it impossible for the
dead to rise up and injure the living!
The buried corpse was always made to
face the rising sun. It was usual to
bury with theriead some article of
Vida e. ^
A female would have a cloth mallet
laid by her side; while her husband
would enjoin his friends to bury him
with a favorite, stone adze or a beantir
fal white shell used in the dance.—
Such articles were never touched af
terward by tbe living. Numbers were
in caves easily accessible, to enable
relatives to visit the remains of tbe
dearly beloved lost ones from time to
time. The corpse was occasionally
exposed to the sun and re-annouued
with oil, and then wrapped in fresh
cloth. As the intensity of sorrow
wore off, these visits became less fre
quent, till they finally ceased. It does
not Appear that they ever disem
boweled the dead for the purpose of
embalmment. The corpse was simply
desiccated (fat'd), and daily annointed.
Ngara, when supreme chief of Man-
gam, built-a house at the entrance of
the cave Tautini for the purpose of
desiccating the body of his beloved
mother, Teko, the pride of the tribe.
So inveterate is this practice, that nu
merous instances have fallen under
general observation.
The wailing for the dead i.» long
and loud, strongly recalling to the
mind-striking biblical instances: The
most affecting things are said on such
occasions, but always in a set form.—
Many persons have the reputation of
being-clever waiters. Scraps of song
from ancient ‘laments’ are introduced;
texts of Scripture are mingled with
the most passionate expressions of
grief, and their eyes are frightfully
swolen with; cry mg. The writer will
never fhr get tliq.prplpnged wailing of
the natives for his beloved fi^t-born,
the kind things addressed to the dead

lowed, kept np for three months by
the entire population—-a voluntary
mark of respect and sympathy with

The Prevmlion of: Hog Cholera.
She Rural World says that one of
the Iragest bog-breeders in Missouri,
who frequently Inis several hundred
head at once, never, has any sick.
He gives them salt, just as he does
other stock. In cooking food for
hogs—which he does in large wood
en boilers holding thirty or forty
bushels—tie has the coals and ashes
thrown into the boiler and boiled with
the food. He also puts in salt and
sniphnr sometimes. His hogs eat
burnt charcoal as freely as they do
corn. They are sheltered from the
cold and storm by moveable sheds.—
Occasionally he dissolves copperas
(sulphate of iron) in water, and mix
es it with there food. This destroys
internal worms and is also a tonic.
Hogs are subject to colds and pneu
monia as human beings. The inter
nal organs of the hog more closely re
semble those of a man than any other
animal.

Dr. J. Walker's * California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg-
etabliTpreparation. made chiefly from
the native herbs found on the* lower
ranges of fhe Sierra Nevada iuoun-
tafiis-;6f California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
“ What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar. Bit-
teiis ?” Our answer is, that they
remove the cause of disease, and
the patient-recovers Iris health. They
are the great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing the remarkable qualities of Vin
egar Bitters in: healing the sick of
every disease man is heir to. They are
a -gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
- Diseases
The properties of De. Waik-

Grateful laonsaiids proclaim
Vinegar Bitters the most wonder
ful Invigorant-that ever sustained

No Person can take these Bit

out' our entire country during tho
Summer and Autumn, and rernarka-
bly so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, are invariably ac
companied by extensive derange
ments of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting
powerful influence upon these vari
ous organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose
equal to Dr. J. Walkers Vinegar
Bitters, as they will speedily remove
the dark-colored viscid matter with which
the howels are loaded, at the same time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy J auc
