Speaking c , . of ~ .... things that . „ are not what they pretend to be, yon may re- member what a talk there was a while ago about necklaces aud other orua- meats composed of the eyes of Perav- iun mummies. Tlieir structure was iihe that „ £ pearls, each o„s being a. aggregation of successive enveloping layers; their color was-from golden yellow to golden bronze, aud they were found to bo susceptible of a very beautiful polish. As a matter of fact, however, they are merely the crystal¬ line lenses of the eyes of large squids or cuttle fish. In the rainless rcigon whence they were obtained, the corpses of the dead w r ere dried in a sitting posture on the salty sands and nitro beds, often thousands iu one place. Being thus exposed to the pub¬ lic gaze, cuttle fish eyes were placed in the 01 bless sockets of the mummies to render their appearance more attrac¬ tive. For this purpose, each spherical lens was cut into two hemispheres. Sometimes the colors in these remark- able bodies are in alternate bauds, like Mexican fire opals. — [-Washington 0 Star. W hy Cooks W ear Hats. Some people wonder why cooks in liotels and restaurants wear high white duck , , hats. . , Millers, it ... is said, wear white hats to keep their heads warm, but chefs, one would suppose, work iu s„c„ ho. kitchens that headgear would be unnecessary. Here is what the chief in a well-known cafe has to say: “Wear it cap?” lie asked. “Cer- tainly I do. I would as soon 110 I wear a coat on tho coldest winter day as not wear a cap in the kitchen. You know, the doors here arc frequently opened, as they are in every other hotel and cafe's kitchen, and the cooks are subjected to a sudden draught. I have seen many cooks who never wore a cap, but they are invariably troubled several times of year with neuralgia in the head, anil besides, their hair falls out from the heat of the ranges. Cooks who wear caps are never troubled in that way, and for that reason most of them have some cover¬ ing on their heads when at work.”— [New Y'ork Advertiser. Opium in Lettuce. A sort of opium is obtained from the common lettuce. The scientists give it a long name, and delare that they find important differences be¬ tween the opium of the lettuce and the opium of the poppy; but, for all practical purposes, the one is identical with the other. Every one who has eaten lettuce knows how sleepy it causes him to become an hour or so after dinner, and the older the lettuce the greater the sleepiness, for in ma¬ ture lettuce the milk juic3 is well de¬ veloped, aud all the prouerties of the 17 i ii opium arc present. I here probably wuere . any one has never , been a case died from opium poisoning by eating lettuce, but this proves nothing, for poppy leaves may be eaten with as much impunity as lettuce. Spider Thread for Telescopes. The ingenious astronomer captures a common garden spider and places iiiui the end of a twig. Then lie on startles the spuler, who immediately drops toward the ground, throwing out a web as he goes. The astrono- Wheu 1 the , 1 ./, spider - n ;,l or has In* got trot a a little mue mer, double tear way down (tOWll) produces pruuuuu a Wire, which he begins to twist the on ' ° spinning, thread. The spider continues aud the astronomer goes on twisting the threat!, and, when he requites it, unwinds it from the wire as he would twist. British astronomers, it cotton their confreres may be added, envy in Australia, for there is a spider which spins a thread of three cords; the British spidei => thread contains five cords and is aporeciablv thicker, The Yisible Stars. There seems to be little doubt that number of visible stars is realy limit- th, to“u n m”r 0 o“ a «.r“LhiSlTil tu’J largest telescopes cannot exceed 100,- °°0»000. This is of course a large mun- j^ er \kut compared with an infinite num- proved mathematically—aDd the demon- stration is a very simple one—that were number of stars really infinite and “ST. brightness ot tin sun. Far from being the case, the amount of light afforded by ness of the background on which they are scattered is sufficiently obvious. The number visible to the naked eye, even wirh very good <yesight, is not only comparatively but absolutely small. Some unreasonable people think that the number visible in this way is almost the sky for instance, in the “Square of Pegasus”—will, I think, couviuce any foundation ^.llr in fact. mere- The C y which has no number visible to average eyesight exceed on an ordinary night does not much 4,000 for both hemispheres. For excep¬ tionally keen eyesight and a very clear sky we may perhaps allow a total of 10,- 000 for the whole starsphere above, or 5,000 visible for any one place at small one time. But surely this is a very number, scattered over, the whole ex- panse of the heavens. Five thousand men could easily be placed on a small field without touching.— Gentleman's Magazine. Australian Ballot Law. Francis S. Dutton was the framer of the Australian ballot system in 1851. In his wildest dreams it is circumnaviga¬ not possible that he foresaw its globe adopted by Bel¬ tion. It has cow been gium, Italy, Greece, Canada, and almost by the United States. On the heels of a reform ballot in Massachusetts, in effect in 1888, came similar enactments by the W? 4 ™? of Indi " na ’ Monta " a ’ lihode island, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Minnesota, Missouri.

A Wolf’s (Jneer Conduct. An extraordinary occurrence is report¬ ed from Monsac. Betweeu that village and Couza a little child of five was play¬ ing in front of its mother’s cottage, when it was suddenly attacked by a large gray wolf which had emerged from the neighboring wood.

The prejudice against red hair is both ancient and widespread. For cen¬ turies the popular notions throughout all Europe associated hair of this unlucky color with villiany, untrustwortbines* and deceit.
