Metz is @ considerable town, with narrow streets and high houses, among which are many old hotels, extre cour e jardin, inhabitad before the war by old French families, who have now all migrated.

No one is allowed to sce the fortifications on the hills, except with an order from the Minister of war at Berlin.

The low hilis round the town are now all covered by forts, one of which, in the direction of velotte, dominates not only ‘the city, but the country on every side, and is garrisoned by several thousand men.

He was in some ner attached te the Greek con- for afew days.

My informant tells me that he must have had a swarm of creditors at his heels when he and his bride were about to embark In the Seovia for Bareelona. He is fond of gambling, but although he was mixed up with Lambri Pacha two or three years ago, ig not a blackleg. If his first wife is dead he is the master of Sarah’s fortune, she haying married him without a ec tract. The acquaintance began last October, when he called on her and asked her to get M. Duquesne! to engage him in @ eompany of which to be the bright, particular star. Belec- from “Hernani” and ‘Phedre” were re- cited to her. She did not like his style, but ad- mired and liked the man. Duquesnel engaged him as a supplementary actor, and promised that if Angelo, who was to play with Sarah, broke down, Daria should replace him. Apropos of Goncourt’s work, ‘‘La Faustin,” I explained to you how much embourgecises the modern ac- tress has become. It is now a fashion among them to get married. Sarah probably would have done better if she had espoused a mere business man, who would have been at once a house steward and a Bernum. Parisian friends of Sarah imagine that her hasty marriae will not bind her here. As she ia of Dutch nationality and her husband of Greek, the tra d ind fast rexulations of the Code Napo- leon do uot apply to their union. I believe that p marriage being lezal in England will be valid all the world over—if indeed there is no rst wife.” I read to-day in the London corre- spondence of a French paper that the bride caused the news of the happy event to be com- municated to the Prince of Wales, and that His Royal Hizhness exclaimed, “By Jove! Sarah getting married! she must be mad!” Of course 1 do not vouch for the veracity ef the curre- spondeat. ——___—_-e.-__ The Cataclysm of 1773. In the year 1773 a report got abroad—how engendered is not known—that Lalande, one of the ablest mathematicians of the day, had pre- dicted the end of the world, asthe result of a evllision to take place between a comet and the earth, We say it is not known how the report got abroad. The cireumstance which gave rise to the report Ia, however, well known, thouch avowedly there was nothing init to have sus- gested special anxiety. The difficulty is to con- nect the circumstance with the ex: ited terrors presently excited. It had been an- nounced that Lalande would read before the Academy of Sciences a entitled ‘‘Reftec- tions on Those Comets Which Can Approach the Earth.” It would be difficult to inquire how the report of this came ly to be changed into the definite news: in the year 1773—nay, the very day was named. on May 20, 1778—a comet would encounter and destroy the earth, did not recent experience show how a statement of one kind maybe changed—throuch carelessness, not through willful mis tae tion—into a statement of an entirely different kind, when (in its later form) it seems to indi- cate the approach of some great danger to the earth. Piantamour, lecturing in 1872 about comete and meteors, says that the comet of 1862 passed near the earth's orbit; that along tts track are traveling millions and millions of me- teoric bodies, and that when the earth crosses its track meteoric displays may beexpected, ad- ding that the next display of the kind may be expected on or about August 11 or 12. lator! the news is traveling about.thaton August 13, 1872. @ comet will fall upon the earth and we shall all be destroyed. Who gave to Planta- mour’s true and innocent statement this false and mischievous form? Noone can say, no one can point out where or how the true became merged rato the misleading, the misleading into the incorrect, the incorrect into the utterly false. But the terrors excited were none the leas real that no one eould tell whence pani § came or how they were _ apes Once fears have been excited, It seems to at- Ss quiet them, at least among the hope- lessly ignorant, who nnfortunately are so nu- merous and 80 readily made the victims of Idle. th Hp ze To get a snake out of a bottle isa tedious job; in whatever position it is turned, the head will be directed upward, so that the only way to in- duce him te come out. is to place the bottle up-. right or nearly 80; even then the head ts wit! drawn on the slightest alarm and the position is by n0 means favorable to its tranference to a box. Ifthe door or opening of the latter will admit it, the best plan ig to put the bottle un- corked into the box, and let the snake crawl ‘out at his leisure; first ‘‘chocking off” the bot- tle with a wedze of paper or wood, lest it should roll over on the reptile, and fastening a strin; to it in order that it may be removed without! difticulty at the earliest possible opportunity. One of the most poisonous snakes I ever pos- sessed was brouzht to mein a brandy bottle, and, after twisting and shaking and tapping it for an hour without avail, I grew impatient. The tail just then happened to protrude about half an inch, so I seized it with my fingers, and, rapidly drawing the bottle through the other hand. had the reptile sately in my grip behind its death dealing jaws, now distended with anger. But the slide of my snake box was shut over, and Icould not draw it back with one hand, so T was obliged to let him slip back into the bottle again. Having set the x all in order for the new comer’s reception, I once more essayed to hold of him by the tail; but now, most Provek ing, no amount of maneuver- ing would bring that usefal member to the top. Another half hour's unsuccessfal angling con- verted my impatience into desperation, and at length, when | saw the tail about two inches from the mouth of the bottle, I stuck my fore finger in recklessly to try to secure it. This was hopeless, as I might have known; but it certainly did cool my spine a little when I discovered on attempting to withdraw it, that my finger was Jammea! I pulled, wrenched, twisted it all my might, for the brute was raising its head, and its flickering tongue was rapidly approaching the unhappy digit that In- voluntarily corked up its prison. I gaveva final tug, the violence of which nearlytislocated all my phalanges; but It was no use, and with a yell I raised the bottle high in air, intending to smash it on the end of my bunk. I distinctly felt the snake, momentarily inverted, fall on the end of my finger; but as I flung my hand up the bottle slipped off, and fell off and tell on the deck behind me, fortunately without breaking. By the time I picked it up the snake was haif way out, hissing furiously with rage and fright, and I had but just time to thrust it into the box. iflhad not been fiurried, I should probably have been able to extricate my finger with very little difficulty. It ts ofthe utmost importance never to lose presence of mind in dealing with these things. About Wigy. From the Americnn Hairdresser. “Americans have made great improvements in wigs.” said a New York wig-maker lately to reporter. ‘Few people will wear the old- fashioned English wigs now-adays. Instead of the thick, hot and uncomfortable head coverings of former days, we have now the light, graceful and convenient wigs that are a very close imi- tation of the natural hair. Formerly, the fact that a man wore a wig was known at a glance. Now the imitation Is so close that I have known it to battie examination. The other day a young man, wito wears a blonde wig, came to have it repaired. I found that a large lock had been cut out of it. I asked him how It happened, and ne told me that a lady had asked him fora loek of his hair, and that he allowed her to make her own selection. He confessed to a little trepidation when she took hoid of the lock to cut it off. But she was gentle with him, and cut off the lock close to the head without discover- ing that he wore a wig. The work of restoration was artistic. It would not do to replace a lock of full length at once. We began with short pieces, imitating the natural growth of the . The lady never found out the deception until after they were married, when she happened to handle his hair Jess tenderly. ‘There is an old gentieman with a gray beard for whom I have madewwigs since his hair was black. As his beard began to grow gray the contrast between that and the hair of his head was too marked. Webegan by making him a wig with afew gray hairs sprinkled in. jradually the number of gray ‘hairs was in- creased until now he buys three white wigs a ear. Black wigs last longer than white. The ter turn yeliow with wear, and we have found no way of cleaning the white hair without de- stroying the workmanship of the wig. Where a Pia! covers the entire head it is easy to make tt fit tight to most heads without the use of any adhesive substance. But where the wig covers only @ part of the he&d, or where toupees or patches are used, it ia neceesary to stick on the false hair with mucilage or adhesive wax. “Wigs cost all the way up from $10 to $100, according to the fineness of the hair and the excellence of the workmanship. The most costly wizs are made on a foundation of hair lace. Each hair Is carefully selected and knotted toa mesh of the lace. This kind is called the ventilated wig. You can part it anywhere like natural hair, and the appearance of the parting will be like that of the natural scalp. The flesh shows through the meshes of the lace with great naturalness. That is the kind of a wig the blonde young man wore. Cheaper wigs are made by fastening hair to long threads and sew- ing strips of it on a foundation less costly than hair lace. Even these cannot be detected by the ordinary observer, althouzh whea you know that aman wear: such a wig you are sure to notice it. Very often, however, toupees are put on with so much skill, by mixing the ends with the natural hair, that the art is not perceptible. I think the tendency is now to eonceal baldness rather than to let it be seen. True. in summer, some young men do get their heads clipped like state ‘prison convicts or te boyain the poor- house, but I think the fashion is less favored than formerly. “Bome experiments have been made in the direction of transplanting hair into the skin, but thus far without success. You know you nay stick a pin through the outer skin without in. Hairs have been drawn through holes hus made, and roots of hair have been planted in the skin. But the result has been to create s Uttle inflammation and suppuration at the point of contact of the hair with the skin.

Of course I know the names of many prominent men in all the professions who wear wigs, but it isa point of honor with our peoteeca not to reveal them We would as goon think of betraying the name of alady who wears puffs, braids, switeh, or caris of artificial manufacture. “Many men wear ee gate as much for their health as for appearan found that to secure in consideration for his bare wants the window shut.

If you will come down stairs show you the stock.” There was a show case fuil of them, each pair mounted in a velvet box. The pattern was the same in all as faras the band was concerned. The band was a full inch wide made of fine elastic and covered with beautifally woven silk, of every conceiyadle shade, pale biaes and warm reds predominating. They are designed to match the tint of the dress worn with them. In one case two heart-shaped clasps of colored gold, inlaid with croga-bars of torquolses and nig iaers the ends of a scarlet band with ttle frills of silk along the edges. The price was $100. A pair with two eval clasps of ham- -mered gold, perhaps an inch in length, could be bought for $48, while the cheapest pair, with plain gold clasps, waa,946. “It's. curious fact,” said the Jeweller; ‘that the cheap ones won't sell. When a customer wants an elegant garter, he—I mean, she—is willing to pay for it.” A pair that cost $225 had two shields with three bfy pearls in each and little diamonds at the edges. Another pair was expensive through its delicate lace, which was in a fluffy bow-knot, with two little gold disks clasping in the center. At another establishment the Jeweller said: “The majority of them are made to order. Your visit is opportune, as I have just finished «garden in the land. the most expensive pair that ever left my fac- tory. The price is $1,200." _Inthis the lace and “pearl-colored silk band wasjoined by an elab- orate clasp. On one side was the "3 mono- gram in pearls; on the other the cuat-of-arms, with frosted storks’ heads, a crest of delicately carved gold, and a motto set in chip diamonds. It was a present from a mother to her daughter, who is to be married soon. “Has the demand for such garters increased?” “It is a hundred percent greater than last year, and grows constantly.” Se egg “Mebbe” Joe's Trac Feesh Story. Ie “Old Joe the boatman” still alive and able?—Old Joa, familiar to viuitors on the Cana- dian side of the Thonsand Islands, a mighty teller of mighty stories, in a tedious manner and with a French accent which lent them a charm all their own. “Welt,” said Joe, on one occasion, when his fares had been telling anecdotes of singular re- coveries of things lost, “‘once there was an American young couple came here on their honeymoon—ah, she was a beauty that, sixteen years—mebbe seventeen—mebbe eighteen years old, and he was devoted to her like nothing.
