A yoang Indy was married at St. Jade’s, Ken sington, a few days ago who had a general collection of hair, even inelud tug one from the favorite pet dog, and attached as much importance to it ai to the fifty yards of material, exclu sive of lace, which her French maid brought from Paris for the wedding drees.

He'ch has described a curious epidemic of enow blindness occurring among a body of laborers engaged in clearing away through the masses of snow which obstructed the road between Paseauaur and Mteti in tbe Caucasus; tbe rays of the sun reflected from the vast stretches of snow on svery side, produced an intense glare of light, which the uuaeeustomed eye coaid not support without the protection of dark glasses. A few of the etudiest among the laborers were able to work with impunity, bat the majority suffered so much that among seventy strongly marked cases thirty were so severe that the men were absolutely unable te continue work or to find their way home and lay prone on their faeee, striving to hide their faoes fiom the light and crying oat from pain. Re covery was gradual bat oomplete. The Japanese seedless orange is now being introduced into California, and is attracting attention because this dwarf variety is more h rdy than ordi nary kinds. Tbe fruit, although small, is remarkably sweet.

Having spetted the pot in the kitchen oat of which tbe pnmpkia and rice always earns, he thought he wonld attack tbe fountain head, to plumping hie bead into the pot, he greedily scooped op, and, with the lightning-like rapidity of ostrich es, tossed down his throat a large mouthful of boiling rice. Poor fellow, the nsxt moment be wee dancing round the kitchen, writhing in agony, •baking hia bead nearly off, and twist ing bis neck as if bent on tying it into a knot.
