Tliis was never a very rapid pro­ cess with him, and by the time he en­ tered Mis. Grey's brilliantly lit-up house the great clock iu tho hall was poiutfug •» a quarter past 11. The rooms were crowded and stiflinglu liot. The very flowers appeared to droop auider the glare and the heat, all except #ome deep red roses which had been ar­ ranged iu a sentence over the doorway, and whose glowing hearts presented the -most sumptuous and intense bit of color- teg, even in that mauv-hued apartment. It wasstranga. but Dick found himself unable to read that sentence, although composed of only three short words. The language, even the letters, were unknown to liirn, and for half a minute he stood puzzling over the mystery. Then the incoming crowd gently shoved him aside, and abandoning the effort, he made the .best of his way toward his hostess. A pretty little woman, magnificently dressed, but seemingly already much fatigued with the work in hand, she half flniled as Dick edged up to her. " flavo v;>ti jii jt corns, Mr. Turner;?" ahe said. '*1 ti: u::?ht you were to bt one of my esrlv |<trds." . ^ ; " So I would have lieem" he explained "only, uvifortuirarely, I feU aalcep ua«] <lid not wake up in lime," "Oh! that was the caso, was it? Will, such u lengthy imp ou&lit to brighten yon up beautifully for the rest of tho evening. Sometimesr you know, you are rather stupid." Dick looked at her to see if she meant a joke, butlier pretty face was gravely caised to his. " Ton fro flattering me," he said, shortly. "I don't mean to, indeed," she an- awered, quite earnestly. "But there are plenty of men who are always stupid, while you can be rather entertaining, when you are at your best," and she turned gently from him to greet a new hatch of guests. " Was I ever damned with suoik faint praise before ?" thought Dick. " I won­ der if I am *at my be|t* to-night ?" For a minute he stood, taking a survey of the scene before him. The musicians were playing a waltz, and playing it well; only strange to say there was a flute among them, which came piping in with its shrill persistent little treble in a manner distracting to Dick's over-sensi­ tive ear. He thought of Mozart's saying that the only thing in the world worse than a Ante in an orchestra was two flutes, and wondered at Mrs. Grey's choice in music. Nevertheless, as long as he was thero he might as well dance, and looking around for familiar faces, his' first glance fell upon a f brown-eyed maiden whom he had met at a party only the week before, and whom he had ad­ mired with the guarded and half-super- cilious admiration of a veteran society man. In another minute they were on the floor contending with their fellow- creatures lor a little room to whirl around in, and seemingly successful in their *te32S*e» until a slight loroh Mot Dick, shortly, and wondering what he was doomed to hear next "I should rather think you did," was the friendly answer. "I just said to Smith, here, as yon came up, that be­ tween your sallo w skin and that bald spot on your head, you were beginning -io lock hke an old man before your time. Why don't you take to country life and early hours and freshen up a bit?" "Why don't you mind your own af­ fairs and kindly leave me to attend to mine?" retorted Dick, now thoroughly aroused, and without waiting for another word he veered around and left the gropp, who, one and alL seemed toi constitutes burglary, say the Supreme Court, in Walker pro- undly astonished at his ill temper. By this time he began to feel a little uncertain who to approach next. Hav­ ing been told already that he was stupid, ugly and a bad dancer, what was there 16ft for him to hour. Ho cortaiuly hfid never met so many disagreeable people in his life and he had serious thoughts of beating a permauant retreat, when he caught sight of a blonde head half hidden beneath the azaleas in the conservatory. It was Florence liedifer, whom he had never expected to meet to-night and whom two hours ago he would have in­ dignantly avoided. But for some reason his contempt for her flattery and false­ ness had been strangely modified in so short a time and he felt a positive yearn­ ing to listen again to her pretty nothings and to see her blue eves uplifted with that tender glance of aclmiring trustful­ ness to his. It must have cost her a great deal of time and patience to culti­ vate the glance up to its present perfec­ tion and it was unkind, after all, to sneer at the result of such honest and endeati. ing toil. T The next minate he was by her side. She looked very pretty; her fair hair tumbled in some mysterious fashion on the top of her shapely little head; her bright face lit up with smiles, and her white silk gleaming under the colored lamps with a soft and shifting radiance that pleased Dick's cultivated eye. He was not one of those to whom a woman's gown is a matter of indifference. "I came in here for a little air," she 6aid; "the rooms are so terribly hot, and the whole affair Alabama , against State. This was where the,,jjrisoner bored a hole through the floor of a corn- crib, stopped it up with a cob, and afterward, on a separate occasion, drew, the shelled corn through the hole into a sack underneath the crib.

"It has been worse thaa stupid for me," he answered, laughing. "I have been insulted wherever I went First, Mrs. Gray told me I was often very stupid; then Miss Vincent, do you know her? She is dancing jum with Tom Stern."". " "I don't know her; but never mind! What did she say to you ?" "She told me I was awkward and a bad dancer, and intimated that I could never thoroughly learn." Florence Kedifer burst into a laugh as dear and merry as silver bells. "But you know, Mr. Turner," she said, "your best friends do not n'"ti for you that you dance well." Dick gasped and then recovered; he was getting hardened now. "I alwavs flattered myself I did," he said boldly.- She looked at him in some surprise. "Of course, I don't mean to say," she explained, "that one cannot get around with you at all, but only that you are not very graceful and sure-footed. There are plenty of men here who'dance worse --Mr. Simpson, for instance. "I should hope so," said Dick, as Simpson, a little weak-eyed man, wli'o held his fair partuer as if he feared she was packed with dynamite aud was in danger every minute of exploding, (|noved laboriously past the door. " If that is the best you can say for me, Miss Florence, I shall never have the audacity to ask you to dauce again," and with a heavy heart he left the conservatory, now fully satisfied he had had enough of Mrs. Grey's ball. He took a glass of champagne in the supper-room, where its quality was being freely discussed by the young men who iiugered there, and went back to pay liis parting respects to his hostess. Thore were still plenty of people about, but a chill seemed to have fallen on them, the ctauoers were few, and everybody looked bored or discontented. Mrs. Grey was saying the last words to a party of guests who were about taking their departure. "Such a pity it should have been a failure," he heard one of them whispor in a tone of sympathy. " And after all the expense you have gone to!" "I am sure, then, it must have been the fault of my guests," returned Mrs. Grey, "for I did my part as well as I could. Why, Mr. Turner, are you going so soon? I wonder if you, too, found my party a stupid one ?'r She looked so harassed that Dick for­ got the grudge he owed her, and would -gladly have declared her ball both Ijril- liant and delightful, but the words he wished to say stuck in his throat--he absolutely could not give them utterance. Aji awful impulse was upon him, and to his own secret horror and dismay he heard himself assuring her the painful truth that it was the most dismal affair he had ever witnessed in his life. Then overwhelmed with shame at his involun­ tary rudeness he turned away, and his eyes fell upon the crimson roses still blooming freshly over the doorway. What an idiot he must have been! There in plain English letters were the three words, "Palace of Truth." As he looked aud read, the magic flute pealed forth so loudly and with so shrill a triumph in its tone that Dick fairly jumped, and in the violence of his start kicked the sleeping Snip, who out of his master's way and gazed with ̂ reproachful, wonderful eyes. "Lleven o'clock, as I am a living man!" said Dick, yawning. "Three hours asleep and no ball for me to-night Snip, you little villain, why didn't yon awaken me?" Snip was silent Hie frit the arrant injustice of this remark, and bote it with the equanimity of a stoic.

His conclusion is that, as a rule, a child should not be sent to school be­ fore he is 3 years old. Not until' this age is its "brain-substance sufficiently developed. An infant's brain is soft It contains a large percentage of water. It is deficient in fat and pjiosphorus, on which, to a large extent, intellectual ac­ tivity depends. The convolutions are fewer. The different parts of the brain do not grow in. size and weight alike--the nor­ mal proportion of the front, back and lateral portions not being reached l>efore the age of 10. So, too, the proportion of the chest to the lower portions of the body is not attained until the 8th year, while that part of the back (the lumbar) on which the sitting posture depends is even then only moderately developed. About the 5th and 6th years the base of the brain grows rapidly, the frontal bone extends forward aud upward, and the anterior portion grows considerably. Still, the white substance--the gray is the basis of intelligence--and the large ganglia preponderate. It is not till about the 8th year that the due propor­ tion of parts is reached, and a certain consolidation, both of the brain and the organs of the body generally. Before this period, memory alone can be safely trained. Froebel, the founder of the kinder­ garten system, reached the same result by observation. Meanwliile, Jacobi recommends that the children be enter tained and gradually developed in the kindergarten. " Here," he says, "their activity is regulated, their attention ex­ ercised, and their muscles invigorated. Both imagination and memory are taxed to a slight degree only. With • increas­ ing years, the gray substance becoming niorc and more developed, their think­ ing powers are gradually evolved. The secret of a thorough education lies in the uniform development of all powers.

If the 10,000,000 men were divided into little squads or platoons of five there would be 2,000,000 of such squads. Now, giving each squad the space of three yards the 2,000,000 squads would require 6,000,000 yards. The distance between New York and San Francisco is about 3,000 miles, Ono English gocw graphical mile contains about 2,000 yards, and so 8,000 miles would contain 6,000,000 yards, just the length of the great line. Blux-Bottls Flies. --Three blue- bdttle flies, says Linnaeus, will devour a horse as soon as a lion could do it The statement is no doubt somewhat of an exaggeration, but it 1a not. so far over the mark as it may be supposed to be. One ilv, it has been stated, will produce 20,000 eggs, and no sooner are the mag­ gots hatched from them than they set to work with such vigor that in twenty-four hours they will increase in weight 200 times. In about three weeks every one of them may have become a perfect fly, half of them, perhaps, females, each capable of depositing another 20,000 eggs in any dead rat or "high" leg of mutton that threatens to breed pesti­ lence in the air.

A wig or false hair is inappropriate for a clergyman, as he can never forget himself or his incumbrance and be whol­ ly lost in his subject. False hair, how­ ever natural on the head of a preacher, always detracts from the sincerity of an honest face, and adds a hypocritical ex­ pression. We think if all preachers who are given to this passion could realize the effect upon their audiences of even a scratch composed of another fellow's hair worn on their heads to the hind­ rance of the preached Word they would crucify the flesh and sense to the extent of giving up this much-chcrished relic of the earth, earthy. Dyeing one's own hair and whiskers is certainly no better or moro elevating to humanity. There can be no deform­ ity more shocking to the sensitive eye than to see an old, dark-complexioned man, who ought to have honorably earned his gray hairs, dyed black. The effect upon the handsomest man is that of a dug-up mummy.

Thb Wobkino Hours or Lipk.---Sup­ pose a man threw away in every year lifly-two days for Sundays, thirteen days for illness, vacations and interruptions ; and suppose that for forty-five conse­ cutive years he works 300 days a year--- a very large average--that would give a man, in the mature part of life 13,500days. If you please, there isn't any doubt about that Supposing that a man have health and industry enough to work ten hours in each of these 13,500 days, he will have 135,000 mature working hours. A man who is 40, however, has but 90,000 hours left, a man who is 60 has so few hours left that 1 don't want to shock you bv mentioning their number.

Veoktikk is nourishing and strengthening, jHiriaes the blood, regulates the bowels, quiets Amusing Mathematical Quid Nim, Let one who propounds aud under- stauds the problem tell a third person to write down any number, large or small (if a large number the problem will seem more remarkable), without letting him see or know what the number is ; write this same number backward--i e., make the last figure the first, the next to the last the second, etc.; sub­ tract the lesser from the greater; multi­ ply the difference by any number what­ ever; rub out any figure in the multiple, and (provided tlie figure is not 0) add together the remaining figures as if they were all units, and tell what is their sum, then the first person will be able to tell what was the figure rubbed out, * - Explanation.--The difference be­ tween any number and the same written backward will always be a multiple of 9; of course multiplying the difference by any number whatever does not alter this condition. The sum obtained will still be a multiple of 9; for instance, if the sum so multipled is 7 times 9 (or 68) and is multiplied by 12. it will be 84 times 9 (or 75G). Tne figures express­ ing any multiple of 9, if added together as units, will always be 9 or some mul­ tiple of 9. If one be rubbed out, the sum of the remainder will be so much less than a multiple of 9, thus : if the m of the remaining figures are 56 the jure rubbed out was 7, that being what is required to make 63, the next «nultd- ple of 9. IV The reason for excluding 0 from the figures rubbed out is, that if 0 or 9 he erased the remainder will still be a cer­ tain number of 9s, and the person pro­ pounding the problem cannot tell whether 0 or 9 was rubbed out; but if 0 be excluded of course the figure rubbed out was 9 (for it must be 0 or 9). If the sum given, after rubbing out one of the figures, be 725, 7 and 2 and 5 are 14, and 4 wanting to make it the next multiple of 9 (18), which w»s the figure rubbed out. --Scientific Arnerican. ,o nervous system, acts directly upon the cretions, and arouses the whole system to action.

Tlie efiect"of india-rubber toys on the health of children in whose hands they are placed has been still further investi­ gated in Berlin, and Avith some striking results. In one instance a child, having a doll of this material, and having kept it for some time in its mouth, gr='W sick, and the doll, laid in vinegar, became covered with incrustation. On examina­ tion there was found in 0.7325 gram of such a doll 0.4446 gram zinc oxide, or 00.58 per cent.
