Its contents and herself are the ballet girl's chief professional capital, and every time she closes it she wraps up' in its stuffy depths a dream of the day when Patti or Bernhardt shall have a rival, and tho honest old sachei give place to a jewel case and a Saratoga trunk to a villa at Havre or a castle in "Wales. . - .

The latter possess in a muc"h greater degree the perfection tf the senso of touch; those occupations that re quire extreme delicacy of manipulation, such as lace niakmgKembroidery, bead stringingi etc., are therefore, usually fol lowed by women. ".As regards the sense of heanngy we are not awaro of any ex- periments or observations on the relative perfection of tho sense in the two sexea. and the samo may be stated as regards the sense of sight, which appears to bo eoually acute in women and - men. ."-In the extreme delicacy of taste it is proba ble the men cxccL, As regards the sense of smell; ; some exceedingly jconcluslve experiments have been made by-some American savants which appear to . sub vert our preconceived opinions. The ex periments were performed with prussic acid aud. other strongly odorous sub stances on forty-four males and " thirty eight females, and "it was found ; that in nearly all cases the sense of . smell was about double as active in men aa in women. The cause of tho difference' in this matter - between men and wo men is - quite- - unknown," ' as -is ? the object of the distinction but At lias; one practical bcanng . that may be borne m mmd. The employment of strong and potent perfumes by women may depend on their' lees acute sense, or emeu, and they would do well to bear in mind the fact that odors and perfumes which may be quite pleasant to them may be- almost overpowering1 and ? decidedly unpleasant to individuals of the other sex. -London" Queen. - -:.

The creature was a croyant that is, believed ' that ; it was taking into its system an abundance of aliment? ; it .was growing sfat. What was" this ' mysterious energy that worked an "apparent impossibility, if not auto suggestion?"-. - On the- other hand, this sensation of hunger is, at least, .in a certain- measure, independent of the state of inanition, In other words, m cases cf- nervous diseases hunger may be felt, acutely, with all its distressing effects,: in a. body sufficiently nourished. In support of this distinctioh, M-. 4e Parville says: "We are acquainted with a lean lawyer and -a - fat engineer, both of thenrneurasthenic. If tho lawyer does not take h' glass of Madeira and a sandwicli at 5 bcioek he :becomes Uvid and has an attack of vertigo.

He became positively and in spite of- himself furiously ravenous. And yet, he was fat, and had no need to repair the losses' of tho organism that was already too well nourished." So also numerous stories are found in all ancient medical dictionaries relative to those . great eaters whoee ; insatiable stomachs cngulphcd enormous masses of solids and liquids. Such was the caso of Tararns,-who went so far as to drink the blood of bis patients and eat the flesh of cadavers, and who was suspected-of hav ing devoured a 4-year-old child; yet he had a most sweet disposition when he wasn't hungry.--Henry Howard in The Uosmopoutan. . ; Saved by a II air llopeTT Fivo minutes later, the tunnel men of tho liixcelsior mine, a mile below, taking their luncheon on the rude platform of debris before their tunnel, were suddenly driven to shelter "in the tunnel from an apparent rain of stones, rocks and pebbles from the culls above.. , Looking up, they were startled at seeing four round objects revolving and bounding . m the .dust of the - slide, which - eventually - resolved themselves , into three bovs and a girl. For a moment the good men heEL their breath in helpless fcrwr.7, Twice one of the children had struck the outer edge of the bank and displaced stones, that shot 1,000 feet down into the dizzy depths of ;the valley, - and ..ow' one. of them, the girl; had actually rolled out of the elide and was haughEr rover the chasm but ported only - by a clump of chimasal to which she clung. 'Hang on by your eyelids,-- sis, but don't stir -for heaven's sake!" -shouted ".one of the men; as two others started on a hopeless ascent of the cliff above them. But a light, childish laugh from the clinging little figure above them seemed to mock .them, w Then two small heads appeared at the edge of the elide; then dinunuuve hgore... whose teet.were ap parently .held by some m visible compan ion, -'was shoved over the brinks and stretched its tiny arms toward the girl. But in vain, the distance was too great. Another laugh of intense youthful' en joyment follovd the failure, and a new insecurity was added to the situation by the unsteady hands and shoulders of the relieving party, who - wore apparently shaking with . laughter." Then, the ex tended figure was seen to detach what looked like a 'small black rope from'jfcs shoulders and threw it to the girl. .There was another, little giggle. : The ; faces ot the men below : paled in terror, t Then Pollyfor it- was ; she hanging to the long pigtail of Wan Lee, was drawn with fits on laughter; back : in safety to the slide, Their; childish treble of appreciat uon .was; answered-by a Tinging cheer fromTjelow,, , 4 v 7 .
