(ore the burial of the city an carth

Mount Vesuvius had been iiiiet ever
since. I lie -lih ol August was a tern
bly hot day.
Most of tbe people were in the amphi
theater at a wild biast light when they
aw a siratige cloud ri-e from Vesuvius.
It seemed lik" a pine tree. The trunk
rose up high into tho heavens and then
read out in branches some whitei
omu dull and spotted until, slowly de-
aching themselves from the parent trunk,
they begau to darken tbe sky. I'iiny,

blackened stones and pumice. Vast frag

siiH'icated by a sudden outburst of fl. lines
mil sulphur funics. In that awful dark-
wheii I he sudden rush of flames was
the only light which pierced the dense
smoke, the liclds Wire full of terrified
pie fleeing they know not whither. It
is true that the destruction was not in
stantaneous, aud u great number of the
inhabitants saved their lives, and even
took away a good deal of their treasure,

One ol these psi tido .scientists, says
the St. Louis lirpublic, who arc always
figuring out infallible indications of the
human chaiaclir friiin the peculiarities
of the ears, nose, eyes, hands, or feet, has
furnished a S' t of rules by which charac
ter may be read iu the hair.
Light hair iu un n indicates that liny
are smart and cinc itid, and if they do
nit marry until late in lite (hey grow
cross and sellidi.
Men with fine bmwu hair, light or
dark, make the bc.-t of husbands, being
generous, considerate, alii ctiotiate and
truthful. The darker the brown, how
ever, tbe more likelihood that telli-h
traits will assert themselves.
If a man's hair turns gray prematurely
it is a sign that he is a good fellow. Such
men are always brainy, sympathetic and
very honorable. The hair turns white
fr"iu being overscrupulous in money
matters oud friendship ofiener than it
does through grieving or shortcomings.
lied headed people, whether the hair
be course or line, are nearly always very
smart, uick lo learn, resourceful and
tactful to tho point of loss .of temper,
but when a red headed person is stupid
he or she is a veritable clod.
ltcd hair in men often goes with brain-
and so many red headed lueu have been
succcs-lul that "red headed and smart"
has passed into a saying. Iled haired
Women, however, do not, us a rule, make
tractable wives.
Wouieu of pale, blonde hair of the
colorless kind known as ash blonde, are
affectionate, but impulsive and easily
moved to causeless jealousy and violent
demonstrations, but prone to forgiving and
forgetting. They are incomparable us
companions us long as they are humored,
hut will not stick to a companion in ad
versity. Dark brown hair ou women is, iu Oil!)
eases out of 1,0110, indicative of of a loj
alty to a worthy object that cannot be
shaken by ill fortune.
The coarseness or fineness uf hair is
thoiiLdit to bo u sure index of the animal
as well us intellectual development.
Heavy hair, like horse hair, is found on
blacksmiths and gladiators, while profes
si mal men have hair that is line ' almost
to silkiness.
Fine black hair in women shows a
high si rung and sensitive imposition,
while weoiie-n with coarse black hair are
nearly always mean.
All women with dark hair are more
torn pistil ills than those with light hair
but are not as ne it housekeepers as
those ol the fair hair. Dark haired
women arc rarely ofa saving disposition.
The highest di'Vclopment of woman
seems to be under chestnut hair, which
is a compromise between tbe prououneed
blonde and dark tones.

She was small and frail, but sitting a
w seals behind her I could not see her
tee. Soon a handsome, manly young
fellow opened the foward d mr of ihe ci-r
nd looked from one to another as though
xpectiug to meet somebody. At once,
ou seeing the lady I have mculioned, he
(uickened his steps and a happy look
came iulo his face. On reaching In r he
bent dow u and ki-sed her tenderly, and
when he moved nearer to the window be
osited his coat and hand-hag, sealtd
hiiusc'f beside her. Iu the seventy five
mile ri te which 1 took in tile same car
wiib tbcm he showed her every attention.
and to the end exhibited his devotion by
anticipating her smallest need or comfort;
and once he put bis arm umuud In r iu
ueh a loyer hke way that I decided they
were a newly married pair enjoying the
honeymoon. Imagine my surpw on
aching Chicago lo discover her to be
old und wrinkled. Hut when I li 'iid
biiii say "Come, mother," and saw him
proudly lend her out of the cars and gent
ly help her to the platform, liani-lnn:
her lightest anxiety and bearing her many
packages, I knew there was not money
nor Mm nice behind the exhibition, but
here was a young man that loved his

of neither sadness nor joy. Occasionally
she would take a (altering step in the
direction in which she gazed.
The gardeners were diggiug up the
flower beds and putting the roots aud
bulbs away for the winter. Manyol the
plants were slill in bloom, and they lay
about on the ground iu huge bunches
and piles.
Around the tankmen -ix or seven litllc
girls were standing and gathering the
the flowers into (heir arms aud aprons
as the garduers saw fit logivc them away.
They Were nil nicely dressed children.
It was all this dial (he plain little girl
was watching, as she was, piobably uncon
sciously to herself, drawing closer all the
lime.
Soon the other girls saw her. They
drew away to the oilier sid ; of the (lower
bed. Six or seveu little noses showed a
disposition tu go up, and then the new
comer was forgotteu, and the rest contin
ued iu their play.
"Please, sir, may I have a few flowers?"
a small voice piped. Oue of the wotk
iini) looked up and saw the small figure.
Without a word he leaned over and broke
a few fljwcrs from Ihe heap aud tossed
them toward her.
A light flitted across her face, and she
thanked the mau profusely. The flowers
were not such as tbe other girls had re
ceived, but the little newcomer did not
seem to notice this. She turned to go,
when another garduuer looked up. He
caught her eyes.
"Take some more," said he, as he
reached over and gathered more flow
ers from the heap on the ground. These
were finer, and the big, beautiful eyes
gave him mute thanks. She was going to

to his question. Hot mother was sick.

Washington Star.
A manly husband and a womanly wife
are die two essentials to the making of a
happy and contented home. Where
these two elements are lacking the house
hold is a shining mark for oppression,
wrongs and haired. With fond affection
and Irtiest love between husband and
wife, (he ebildieii, if any, will naturally
grow into the hearts arid nlleeliotis of the
parents and entwine themselves with the
same beautiful garlands of love. This
clement cau l be oue tided aud produce
the same results. The wife may be ever
so loving and lovable. It it is not recip
rocated, a .shadow flits across the house
hold, casting deep furrows into the heart
of the wife and impressing itself on the
character of die offspring.
A wife who keeps all her kind words
for society and blasts the household with
her bad and ill governed temper brings
down from heaven the tempest of unio
ijuiled love aud sends the inmates of her
home down to lives of degredaiion and
vice. Man lias more temptations than
woman, but God has made him all die
stronger to resist them. Hut if bis help
meet is a shrew, (lieu she becomes the
very imp of hades to take (bat strength
away freun him which leaves him strauded
on (he rocks of sorrow and despair, and
then as (be tide rises diags him farther
down the stream of wickedness and
wrong.
On the other hand, a husband can
turn a woman's love into hate. She can't
love a being who cares more for the club,
the ballroom or the saloon than he does
for her or his honi", for she can't em
brace the shadow while the substance is
going to ruin and disgrace. A wife and
mother should remember that the dearest
spot on earth to her should be home. A
kiss, a smile, fur the husband returning
Iron) his daily lull; loving words und a
foud embrace for (hose who call her moth
er; laughing with those who laugh aud
weeping with those who weep, a word of
sympathy here and a smile there,, will go
more toward lighting up ihe household
with a halo of glorious happiness and the
home circle with (he sunshine of never
failing bliss than all the world can give.

CII VKACTUU IX WALKING.
Quick steps lire iudicitivc of energy
and agitation.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surptise,
curiosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-ill toes arc often found with
preoccupied, absellt-iuitlded peTsotls.
The miser's walk is repre.-enlid as
stooping ami nowless, with sliori, ner
vous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or rellective state ol ruinu,
as the ease may be.
Where a revengful purpose is hidden
uudor a fcigiied smile the step will be
.linking aud noiseless.
The proud step is slow aud measured;
the toes are conspicuously turned out,
the legs straighleued.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
of tho mind inevitably betrays uncer
tainty, hesitatiou aud iudeeision.
He was an t arm st minister, and one
Sunday in tbe course of a sermon on tho
signilieane of little things he said. "The
hand which made the mighty heavens
made a grain of saud; which made the
lofty mountains made a drop of water:
which made you made the grass of (he
field; which made mc made a daisy!'
"Papa, did you ever fly or sit up in a
tree and sing?"
"Certainly not. You must have been
dreaming, my boy "
"No, I haveu'i;but I heard Mr. Shipley
tell Mrs. Niiplov that you were a bird
when you cm out."
