the “queen of song”: “I pass for pretty,

have a way with mo that is piquant, that's
four; I like my public, that’s five; I have
a good voice, that's six; I know how to
sing, that's seven; I always know my
music, that’s eight; 1 act fairly, well the
roles given me, that's nine.” And she

The chase of the walrus has been prac
ticed from time immemorial. Formerly
it wu valued only for its tusks and oil,
bnt of recent years its skin has also come
in use u an article of commerce. The
walruses have two upper canine teeth
prolonged into huge tasks. Some of the
full-grown walruses weigh nearly a
They attain a length of fifteen to eigl
feet, and measure half u much an
the fore flippers. These four ffippen are
some two feet long and are capable of
forcing them rapidly through the water
when propelled by the short, stout arms.
The inside of the raws ia covered with a
horny cuticle which subserves the pur
pose of protecting their palms in scram
bling over the rough ice. Some writers
claim that they have the power of auction
in these members, and by this means so
readily climb on the huge ice cakes, where
they are so often teen during the Arctic
summer. The walrus flippers when cooked
are considered a great delicacy by the
Indiana, and are said to taste not unlike
pickled pigs' feet. The walruses lire
chiefly on clams, for procuring which
their tusks seem especially designed.
Diving to the bottom they dig into the
sand with their tusks and feed at their
leisure, often coming to their breathing
spot at the surface and spitting the shells
out on the ice. The flesh of the walrus
is protected by a thick layer of fat or
blubber which enables it to resist the cold
water of the Arctic seas. The coating
will yield on an average about twenty-
two gallons of oil, it being calculated
that 100 walruses will yield seventy-five
barrels of oil, each holding thirty-seven
and & half gallons. The oil can hardly
be distinguished from whale oil, gen
erally being a little lighter in color.
When full grown the tasks of tt
are from two to three feet long,
often being a little larger than the other.
Each tusk will generally average ’ ‘
" pounds in weight. Captain:
informed the reporter tnattb
of 1,000 walruses that he captured on one
trip weighed 8,000 pounds. The cow
ivory is worth more than that of the bull.
All the tusks have a core through
their entire length in the centre, and
on this account are not as vain-
able as elephant ivory. They
are checkered, too, on the outside, ana
this also lessens their value. Sone^>f the
Spangles are shown on some stylish
bonnets, and all aorta of bead ornaments
are very stylish.

Dr. Bernheim, the distinguished phyai-
ologist'of Nancy, France, goes far in a
paper recently published by him, to prove
the well known theory that the mind of
man in a certain pathological state be
comes automatic, speaking and acting
by the suggestion of others without self-
control. He says that this state of mind
can be produced by training, and Was
produced in the case of Moritz Scharf, of
Tisza-Eslar, who told a long story of
fklsehoods before the court, alwayk in
nearly the same words, accusing his father
of the murder of that girl Esther. Dr.
Bernheim maintains that the boy Moritz,
by terror an<j corporeal sufferings, wu
tortured into that pathological condition
and then repeated automatically what he
had been taught to say.

cutlery. Walruses are always found near
the open waters snugly lying on a cake
of ice or the edge of the shore-ice,
never going further from the water than
ia necessary to find a place to lie on.
They are very clumsy on land or ice.
They congregate in immense numbers in
the Arctic, and the natives sometimes ap
proach them in their kayacks and launch
into them a harpoon, to which ia attached
an air-tight inflated bladder u large u a
small barrel. When the walrus ia tired out
with towing his appendage the natives
from one to one and a half
inches in thickness and covered sparsely
with short hair. The animals often have
pitched battles among themselves, and
many of them that are sighted or cap
tured have their skins punctured by the
tusks of their antagonists in these en
counters.

White enamel sleeve buttons, orna

rosettes of different sizes, are very fashion
able.
Exceedingly long gloves are no longer
considered good style. The proper glove
should not reach to the elbow, and the
wrist should be pretty well concealed by
bracelets.
The large number of black lace dresses
that are being made up attest their grow

advantage of being quite inexpensive u

Fashion has decreed positively that

to decide whether any particular shape

The Jacksonville Timn-Unhn gives
data showing a very satisfactory condi
tion ef the orange industry in Florida.
The gratifying fact has been developed
this winter that Florida orange-growers
have little to fear from California and
Mediterranean competitors. The prices
for fine bright Florida oranges have been
good for the greater part of the season—
in fact all through except for a few
weeks when the markets were glutted
with over shipments, and when the
weather was so unfavorable as to .render
it almost impossible for the dealers to do
anything in the Northern cities. In both
the Eastern and Western icarkets the
Florida oranges brought top prices, com
pared with California and imported or
anges of similar grades. The Tim*-Union
says the indications are, if the estimates
of Florida oranges already sent to market
—and more than nine-tenths of them
have probably been marketed—are cor
rect, that the crop of the jear 1886-87
will reach overs million boxr<. or nearly
double the estimates made by many of
ihe best posted growers early in the sea-
on. Should no disaster overtake the
crop, that of next season will
