Ugiituss as a disqualifying cause seems intelligible in a candidate fur matrimony, hut is certainly less so when tin-question is one of fitness for military service.

Latterly the French authorities m-cm to he much more liberal in admitting the ; claims of men who do not wish to si The rejections are." per cent, more nn-rous than at the previous conscription.

o I*sri. Wtsliiine.. Mile. Jeanne Hugo, granddaughter the celebrated poet, is Is-trutlicd to M. L-'-n Dauilet, son of the novelist, Alphonse Daudet. The fiancee, who is very handsome—hVr dowry also—is just SO. and the young senior and a promising mi-ml*-r of the medical profession. For a long time the youthful Leon, whose key tricks made him the talk of Paris, was tho boon companion of M. Goorgrs Hugo, and both have been sketched Dandct's recent l.*>k»—pranks, talk, appearance and all. Another projected nnion in the world of letters a tliat of M.

'-Bless you!" some one nays on hearing a companion sneeze. “Bless your' just the exclamation made fur the n reason in other tongues by several lions hundreds of years ago. More than one ancient Urei-k writer speaks of Una custom, Imt cannot aay certainly whenra it came. Tho man who sneezed when offering sacrifice was thought fortunate and sure to obtain his object. Wo all know bow sneezing may he caused. But it is curious to notice tliat some people sneeze on coming into the sunshine. It is well to remember that repeated violent sneezing ha* its danger*. So tho tmseasonod must beware of snuff!—EzNaked OUldrrn. Little Egyptians of l*ith sexes trot around without any clothes on. and th« poorer clasnv of the Chinese children are often without clothes. 1 have seen quite large boy* and girls naked in Havana, Cuba, and in southern California, Ur rather on tbe California jieninsula, the mother puts the child at tbe ago of a few months a-straddle of her n«*. and with bis legs hanging down in front thus carries him from place to place.Washington Letter.

A (lewrgia NegTw's Shoes. The largest pair of shoes ever are Dawson were received the other day by Mr. L. C. Durham for a negro by tbe name of Alex White. The ahw-s were numbered fifteen and weighed four pound* and five ounces.

When Henry O. Sieve porf. Ccnn.. sits down to n-ad hf* Bible son watching him might think he a |>ile of thin cedar Imards in his lap. and as he turns leaf after leaf they crackle and fall with a thud. Another remarkable tiling about Mr. Stevens reading his Bible is that he ue<di no light to n-areb the Scriptures with, and it in not necessary for him to look at the !«*>k. He lias the Inggest. boavii-*t and queerest Bible in Connecticut. He is a deaf and blind soldier of the rebellion. His wonderful Bible was presented to by the American Bilde society, and •t to produce the book for him. is in light volumes, with embossed print, and he n-ad. it liy touch, feeling the letters; yet he is apt and quick at tliat kind of i*-ru*al. The whole eight volumes are quite a lift for a man ol orry strength. Each volume is 158 inches long. 12 inebn wide and about 6 indies thick. Pile the volume, one on another and the aggrmtati- thickness of the stack is 3 feet an* 8 inches. Altogether there are 1.849 leaves in the Bible, on each one of which is a full page of raised letters. Mr. Stevens Is 51 years old. and K-gan to study raised letter reading le» than thive years ago. He is now a ready reader. —Cor. New York

Tbe j articles of matter producing shooting star* may 1m- astonishingly minute. In a recent investigation Mr. C. C. Hutchins has found that on the suppusittiai that the rays of a meteor have tbc same ratio of visible to total energy as those of tbe standard candie the mass of a meteor at a distance of fifty miles, having a magnitude equal to Wga and a velocity of twenty-fire miles a second, would Ik nlnuit four and onehalf grains if it continued two ovund*. A lump of the Emmett county, la., iron mltenrtte burned in nn electric current gave ten times tho light of the candle; hence the roa** of a meteor giving the light of a first luagnilndc star moving with paralxflic velority, and lasting two see<md*, i* less than a half grain.—Arkansaw Traveler.

TImj value of pepper in cooking seems to have boon known long ago. ‘ Its use as a mrelicine was common iu the days of Hippocrates, who applied ii, moistened with alcohol, to the skin of his paUcnts. Just a* sugar and tea have K-en in jost times so dear naonly to be within the reach of the wealthy, so pepper was in the Middle Age* a very costly roudimint. So mnchwas it valued that a small packet was at that time deemed a suitable present to offer a great person. Common or black pepper is now grown in many tropical countries. It is a climbing jdant some twelve fix-t high, iKaring frnit of a bright re-1 color the size of a pea, which, when dried, t black.—Exchange.
