Bot, o leave Mr. Schurz and the battle- ground of politics, let us turn to this same so- ciety for a few moments, and see what new graces it has taken on. Here is the last bulle- tin from Branetta.

Paputar Educator. Down among the seaweed stems and pointed rocks we perceive a long, black, tangled string, like a miant’s leatlier bootlace set to sonk. Let us trace it in its varions folds and twists, and dientangle some of them. We shall then have in hand a tough, slippery, India-rubber-like sub- stance, which might well be pronounced a sea string, and classed with the long traiilug weeds among which we bad found it. A sea- strine it is, but not a weed ; in fact, a living las- so. capable of consuming the prey it incloses within its treacherous folds. From twenty to thixty feet is no uncommon length for this art- ful, suimated fishing-hne to reach, but its diam- eter rarely exceeds an eizhth of un fneb.

Ir requires ten well-directed blows with an ordinary boot-jack to kill the average cat, aud, at the distance of a foot, the chances are ten to ove that you miss the cat. If you dou't be- lieve it, try it. Secure the cat by a string one foot. long, 30 8s to ive the cat pleoty of play, and after a week’s practice you will consider this a scunt estimate lor the cat. Therefore, at a distance of one foot it will require 100 boot~ jacks. Bue, your chances of killing the cat decreases as the square of the distance increases. This is an axiom in natural philosophy and a funda- mental truth of felolozy. Thercfore, at a distance of ten feet it will require ten thonsand. Atzain, the soree of the projectile decreases as the square of the distance increases. Ten squares equal 100: 10,000x100, 1,000,000, equals puinber of bootjacks on this count. But then the darkness of night increases the cliances of g fair bit ten to one. ileuce, at night, it will require 10,000,000 bootjacks. Fourthly, the tom-cat being black, decreases the chances twenty to one, according to the well-known rule ‘of optics. Fourth count, 200,000,000 At this stage of our solution we will leave the domain of science, and draw a couple of logical infercnces.

Haz Adeler in New Sork We The Atkinsons have had 'z terrible time over their baby. Mr. Atkinson sent home a folding crib, with the slats made in two pieces and hung upon hings. When they opencd their crib ana put the mattress fa_it, Mr. Atkiuson omitted to fix sceurely the catclies tnat hold the slats: Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson went to bed carly that night, and about 11 o’clock, while they were asleep, the baby got awake and bezan to kick vigor- ously. The result wus that theslats slowl descended and deposited the mattress and baby on the floor. The baby, being particularly wide awake, crawled out into the room, und, seeing a light in the entry, weut thitouzh the door just as Mr. Atkinson’s aunt, Miss Bogzs, was com- ing up stairs to bed. She Dicked the baby uo, and, -finding that its futher and mother were agleep. she carried it toher room in the third story, dezermined to take care of it during the rest of the night. (R ‘About an hour after Mrs. Atkinson wuke and thousht she would zlance over at the crib to sce low the baby was eetting alonz. No sooner had she done so than she Jumped from the bed ju slaras.

One of the most curious ittle instruments brought out lately oy Tiffany & Co. is the pe- dometer, o small machine about the size of o ich you carry in your pocket to aeuote the distance you travel o foot or ride oo hos back. Itisa very accurate machine. *A friend ol mine put ooe in his pocket the other day, and walked from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the Central Purk and back. Strange to say, it marked the distance as accurately as a surveyor counld measure it. The little macuine works this way: It tells the number ofsteps you take, or that your horst takes, during any civen time.. Fo.ret the lenzth of these steps you take an average. That is, you walk 200 fé then comne ‘the number of steps; divide the pumber of inches traveled by -the number of steps, and you will have the lenath of your average step.- Then set the’pedometer, and start. z The other morning a young married lady, Mrs. ——, who_baid an idea” that her husbaad was ng” it top much when he ourat to be in ice attending to business, putapedometer in s poeket-book.- Kissing his wife zood-by, the lnnocent husband sauntered out and too the stage for bis down-pwuotlice. {n the stege I . muscun, he met a dashing widow, who took him up to Central Park to see the animals, or ruther to carry on a flirtation au some of tnose bowery seats, roofed with woodbine and ivy.

BEAUTY. London: Trutl's St, Morite Letter. When the Countess Castielione visited En- fland tweaty years ago, Lord Palmerston gave amemorable diuner, to whicn he iovited nine of England’s greatest beauties to meet that of the Castizlione. They were all assembled when she entered, crushing and overwhelming as the statute of Venus Anadyomene among those of tesser divivities, and all the criricisms on her coiffure, toilette; hanghty, immperious air, were set at nsught by the that every line w perfect. Tean quite believe the statément, for a friend of oursin. Paris owns an undraped stucue for which the Countess Castizlione is said 1o have posed, and itis beautiful. Onr Adumirable Crichton wonders that beauty should lone be aole to endure the. corrosive effects of modern fashionable life. Being so great a DOWer, it is worth preserving by more attention to hygienic principles. “Why were Aspasia, Lais,” and later, Ninon de PEnclos beautiful to the end! Because they cared for and nursed their health, their intel- Iect, and all the uccessories' mecessary. for Dbeauty to reign and to comnmand, They ignored the benelits of progress and_civilization, calori freres, tight-lacing, truflles, foie grus at mid- night, and 3 * B. and 8.’ at 8. m.,—all mean ing poverty of blood and nervous *exhaustion. We should never have met them at St, Moritz."” This is one View of the matter, but it seems to me that, il Aspasia & Co. uever orew old, it was not only because they bad the sense to pre- serve their health, but because they bad no heart. Beauty possessel of heart must suffer, no matter- how sound the budy, and sutfering be- gets lines and eray hairs ¢ven in youth. The nobiest beauty, after all, is that of expression, and what face can express varying emorions thit Tias fell none?

A man was once walking alonz one road and a woman along another. The rouds finally united, and man and woman, reaching the june- tion at the same time, walked on from there to- gether. ‘The man was carrying a large irou ket- tle on his back, fu one band he beld by the legs a live chicken, in the other a cane, and he was leading o goat. Just as they were coming to s deep, dark ravine, the woman said to the man, “1'mafraid to go through that ravine with you; it s 4 loucly place, and you might overpower e and kiss me by force.” “If you were afraid of that,” ssid the wan, « you shouldw’t have watked with me at all; how can 1 possiply overpower you and kiss you by force when I have this srest iron kettle on wny back, 3 cane i one hand and a 1 chicken_in_ the other, and am leading tl goar? I mignt as well be tied band and foot “Yes,” replied the woman; “bat if you should stick your cane fnto the ground and tie the roat 1o it, and turn the kettle bottom side up, aud put the chicken into if, then you might wicked)v kiss me, in spite of my resistance.” “Success to thy ingenuity, O woman P said the rejoiciug man to himself; * 1 shoutd never have thougat of such expedient.”” And wheu they came to the ravine he stuck his cane in the ground snd tied the zoat to it, wave the chicken to the woman, saying: Hold it while I cut some grass for the moat,” aud then, Jowering the Kettle from his shomiders, imprisoned the chicken under it, and _wickedly kissed the woman, as she was afraid he would.
