CITY NOTES. A CANINE THIEF.—For some tlmo pant a lady living on Orange street has been complaining that every morning Borne one would stenl the milk from a pitcher which she left on the front porch for the milkman to put milk In every morning before the family w*as awake. That the milkman put the milk In the pitcher was plainly evident from the milk stains on the pitcher, end ahe was not only worried but curloua to know who It was that would steal the milk and leave the pitcher. After she ha<> lost her milk every morning for about two weeks In ■iftcesBlon she decided to watch nnd was finally rewarded by seeing her pet poodle, who had been Jn the habit of staying out at night, coolly lapping the milk. Anybody wanting a, nice little poodle with whiskers and a fondness fer milk can get It by calling and paying for two gallons of milk. PBKACBED ON MARRJAGK.

Two theories of im>oct vision are oxtant —tho older ono that oach,lcns forma a separata oyo, and tho more recent ono that insects ecu as In n mosaic, each lens form ing part of tbo total picture. Tho old view is snpported by tho experiment of placing a thin sltcoof an oyo under thomloroscopo, when the Imago of any object reflected from tho mirror Is scon to bo transmitted through each of tho hexagonal lenses. A rough model of an lnscot’s oyo may bo made by taking a glass shade of tho form of a half sphere, say about lGlnches in di ameter. Placo the eye at tbo center of the globo and paint on its surface tbo plcturo of tho outer world as seen through it. If this painting ho divided Into squares by lines scratched at Intervals of ono eighth Inch, there will ho SB, GOO of thorn, and tho proportions are roughly tboso found In the oyo of a dragon Uy. If now, Instead of tbo details of tho plc turo on each square, n dab of color ho placed on It corresponding to tho gcmu-al tone, tho effect of tho whole wlU pretty nearly agree with that of tho original paintin',-. It Is probably this indistinct vision that insects actually possess. Math ematically It may bo shown that to ob tain anything like such perfect vision as human beings enjoy on oyo constructed on tho compound typo would bnvo to bo of most Impracticable size. In our oyes the rays of light passing through a single lens form an Imago on tho concave retina. The retina Is built up of tbo sensitive termina tions of tho optlo nerve, forming a kind of tessellated pavement with 36,000,000 squares to the square inch. If our lcn3 were of perfect shape nnd tho pupil wide enough, the size of things which might bo soon as distinct objects would be limited by the distance of tho nerTO endings of the retina from one another. In order that two points may appear separate to tho eye, they must subtend an anglo of about ouo minute of arc—that is, for instance, that fine lines ruled one-lwentleth of an inch apart can he made out to be separata at a distance of four yards. Beyond this tho wholo surface has a uniform gray tint. Calculations clearly show that insects cannot see nearly os well as this, and their behavior to distant objects favors tbls opinion. But tholr eyes hove this advan tage—namely, that there Is practically no limit to tho nearness of objects they can examine. Tho dotulls of their own an- tonnio probably appear plainer to them selves than to ur, but objects at tho dis tance of a foot appear to them with Bbout the sumo minuteness of detail ns would he attained If they wore mado of rather ccarso wool work. Beyond tbls the shades of light and dark are evident to them, but outlines must bo blurred and lost.—North British Advertiser. Women In Italy. In Italy, writes n correspondent, we hnvo seen women not only working In tho fields, but carrying bricks and stone and mortar up ladders for tho construction of buildings. On tho railroad from Brindisi to Naples, In southern Italy, where a tun nel was being repaired, we saw some 40 girls carrying on their beads bushel bas kets of mortar and stone from a valley on ono sldo of tho track up a steep stairway above tho tunnol on tho other side. Tho baskets were filled by mon and lifted upon tho heads of tho girls, who thus bad by for the heavier task of carrying the loads up an ascent of 60 feet. Their feet and arms were bare, their faces brown, but they looked cheerful, at least those did who paused In tholr work to stare at tho passing train. Near Pacstum “gangs of women were at field work, with a man to oversoo them, cracking a long hunting whip.” At Amalfi wo saw old womon carrying on their backs loads of wood up tho long, rocky stairways leading to the Cappucclnl Monastery hotel. Tho wood was 4 feet long, and to all appearances there was nearly a quarter of a cord on each wom an’s back. In several places in southern Italy wo witnessed this almost brutal 6cono of womon bent and daggering be* noath loads of wood which they wore car rying up the hills. Tho first feeling uno has on seeing women thus employed Is ct resentment against some ono who has farced them to It, but evidently the rough out of door toll Is voluntarily assumed, or at least accepted as Inevitable. Infialteftlmal Doses of Medicine, A few years ago Dr. Holmes was asked U bo knew anything of an alleged experi ment before tbo French Academy of Medi cine demonstrating that tbs ten Millionth pari ol a drop of scptlcsemto i&lson would destroy the life of a guinea pig, It having been publicly argued In Boston that this proved tbs potency of Infinitesimal doses of medicine.

Where It Comes From aud the Prices Which It Command—- Probably few womon who wear false hair stop to think wkero tho hair that sup plements thoir own tresses comes from. Tho fact is that tho wholo of Europe oou- tributes to the supply. Tho Commonest hair is black hair, aud tbat conies mainly from Italy. France furnishes principally brown shades, nnd from Switzerland is obtained blond and what tho trado calls drabby shades of hair. The most expensive balr Is white, grey coming next In rarity nnd price. AU countries Bupply gray hair, though, of course, In very limited quantities. Tbo high price of gray and whlto huir, some times reaching 312 and 31G an ounce, Is duo partly to tho scarcity there Is of ony length over tbreoor four inches and partly to tho roluctnneo ol the owners to part with It. They presumably realize that, onco parted with, they will never get an other supply, whorens a girl will grow hor hair again In a year. In Switzerland, where for somo reason the hair grows very fast, young girls frequently sell their hair twice a year. Tho heads of living beings do not con stitute tho solo source of supply for tho huir market. A considerable amount of bnir U cut from dead bodies, aud It is im possible for oven tbo trailo to tell hair which has been furnished by a living bead from that taken lium a corpse. Tho samo shades of balr are all mixed up together, regardless whether thoy cornu from a dead or a living body. Tho prico of lmlr is regulated by length, color and quality. Black Is tho commonest shade, brotvn next, then blond, and rarest of all gray and white. Tho length varlos from six inches to 60 inches, the last being an unusual length and bringing a propor tionately high prico. Tho last thing taken into account is tho quality of tho hair, which varies from tbo texture of horsehair to that of silk.—Now York World. She Hod a Long Memory. A Lewiston lady, in speaking about punishments in sebool, relates an Incident in her own caso. When a girl of 16 years, sho attended school In her native town. Some trouble aroso that called In question tho veracity of either herself or another girl. Tbo teacher insisted that she was the, offender. She insisted that she was not The alternative was offered hor to rccclvo punishment or leavo tho Bohool. She took the latter alternative. Tho teach er remained four years, and she did not return, and her school days virtually ter minated at that tlmo. Twenty years later the teacher and his alleged offondlng pupil met ono day. He recognized her and extended bis hand. She * refrained from tuking It. The act might have seemed unladylike, but it was just In this case. Tho man was not offended, for ho knew the treatment was deserved, and be had tlio manliness there and then to acknowledge a wrong of 20 years previous. He had learned that tho ether pupil had uttered the falsehood, and tho girl who had been compelled to leavo tho school was wholly Innocent of tho charge. This knowledge canto to him a short tlmo after the occurrenoo, and It had weighed upon his mind, causing him many ruproaohes of conscience. ORon he had wished to re pair the wrong, but u lock of opportunity hod prevented. His expressions of sincere regret led to prompt forgiveness.—Lewis ton Journal Black rcarlt. Black pearls used to bo held as of small value, comparatively spooking. At tho present day a perfect black specimen com mands amuoh higher prloethan tho finest pink or whlto pearls. They were first made fashionable by tho Empress Eugenio, wlfo of Napoleon III, who possessed a fa mous nccklaco of them which fetched JC4,- 000 at an auction after tbo overthrow of the Imperial dynasty. Tbls did not In clude the slnglo great pearl forming tho snap, which woa purchased by tho Mar- quia of Bute for £1,000. Mexico, Tahiti, FIJI aud the kingdom of Madura, to the east af Malabar, supply tbo marketsof the world with tho best black pearls. Ono of tho most curious pearls from many points of view was that which tho traveler Tavernier sold to tho ruler of Per sia 200 years ago for £100,000. It la still In tho possession of the shah of Persia and Is now supposed to bo worth nt least £185,- 000. Tbo Persian monarch has a square glare caso among his bizarre collection of jewelry containing a vast heap of mo6t magnificent pearls, four or five Inches deep, into which ono can plunge tho hand and spill them In cascades and handfuls. —Gentleman’s Magazine.
