KA<)K<> OF Ul'MAN FLKSa. HOVEL FMUUrE FABHIOFS. Dried Heads I'aed fur Godsâ€" Papuan Medi- cine Dances. The mcsi remaikiible maska known to the maseam collectors are the maaka of hnman desh, says a Si. Loais GUht writer. The preservation of haman heads apart from the booiea has been a very widespread Opatom, both in savage a^es and among liAU-ci\'ili;:e<i peoples. Bat the mask com- posed of the desh of a haman face is pecoliar to the islands of the Soatb Seas and to some parts of Soath and Central AnierLca. The New Zealanders bad a practice o£ preserving the ensire bead, either as a trophy or as a fetich, or perhaps both. The bones of the skoli were re- moved, and the tieab inspregnated with •ome embalming substance that dried it to the consistency of tough leather. Thoa preocrred, the head of a man of ordinary size shrank until no larger than a uooa- â- ized orange, bat still retained most of the characteristic features of the countenance. Mash rarer, however, than thoseembalmed beads are the haman maaks from the Boath Seas. A very peculiar specioien of one of thede is seen in the Britiah Maseam. It la composed of the flesh of a chieftain killed in war, and la remarkable sot so much for the preservation, nor for tiie care with which the work of embalin- ing waa done, aa for the fact that the mask ia heavily jewelled. The eyea are formed of pyrites, the nose is set with the delicate and beaatifol shells fosnd in the Soath , and a curioaa mosaic of black obsi- and gre«D tortoise runs in bands acroea the face, while here and there, with BO apparent retE^olarity, are s«: separate beads of colored stoce. It ia a true masit, the back part of the skall and the bonea of the face having been cemovei. and the best aathorities express the opinion that this mask was nsed as an idol, or on the tac« of a Mexican priest daring the ceremonies pertaicing to human sacrifice. Among savages religioas, festive and social occa- sions are synonymoas, and on most sach maaka are tued either to hide the face from the deity or to furnish mirth for those gath- ered to seethe sport. Many dances among the Papaans were entirely private and of a rali^oQs character, no strangers nor women being allowed to enter. The Papuan masks are highly colored in red, white and bla«k bands across the face, figures appearing also in other parts of the coauteDance. The frame work is of wood, buUt ap with cocoa- Bnt shell. The beard of the nut is used for hair and whiskers. On each side of the mouth projects a long boar's tooth, the points recurvLcg toward the eyes. Some- times these Papuan masks have protruding tongues, and occasionally from the mouth projects an arrow or lish. while more rarely the head of an animal ia u$ed either for nose or chin, or both. The ma>k is also used for the dak dak, or medicine dance. When a chieftain or person high in autho- rity among Papuans becomes sick a man is hired to do ihi.> dak dak. Ue dresses him- self in palm leaves, puts on a mask, per- forms certain incantations in private, begs from door to door and from every person be meets any small gift they choose to bestow as a reward for his services ; then perforu-s other unknown incantations, winding up with a visit to the sick man, who. the Papaans naively state, either gets weil or dies. a(jCordii!g to the faith he baa in the medicine man and the wonderful mask. (Cotiain Sate s Contnbctioa.i In the spring a woman's fancy li^tly tuma to thoughts of clothes, andaa Easter- tide draws near she conatilta the calendar rather than the thermometer in arranging her wardrobe. It is aadly true that net infre<iaectly, instead of Eaater sonahine, a cold drizzle has eCfeotaailT dampened th^ hopes of womankind in reference to appear- ing in spring freshness and Inery on that day of days ; and at other times " a frost, killing frost," has dashed pretty faces with disappointment (and, alaa 'â-  pretty noees with cold). So that, instead of wearing the new raiment which biooma In the spring and natorally befits the feast of the resurrection, disgoaled femininity has had to sing its Eaater anthems clad in Christ- mas clothes. But these disappointments fade oat of recollection before another year rolls aroand. Hope springs eternal in woman's breast, and in spite of all prior discourage- ments she maJies her preparations cez.t time with aa entire a confidence in the bene- volent designs of the clerk of the weather, as if she'd positive knowledge that a special consignment of summer airs and sonshine The Claas la Scripture. A lady a^ed one of the children in her Sonday School class, " What was the sin of the Pharisees? " '• EatiniJ camels, ma'am." waa the reply. The httle girl had read that the Pharisees " strained at gnats and â- wallowed camels." "In what condition was the patriarch Job at the end of his life ? " qaeatioued a teacher of the aioliilooking boy at the foot of the class. " I>ead," was the quiet response. " What is the oat- ward and visible sign in baptism? " asked a lady of her Sunday School class. There waa silence for some seconds, and then a girl broke ia triumphsuitly with, •' The baby, please, ma'am." " Po you know, mamiiia. 1 don't believe Solomon waa so rich after all I " observed a sharp boy to his IMithet who prided herself on her ortho- doxy. "My child 1" she e.\claimed ia pious horror, '• what does the Bible say ? " " That's just it," he answered. " It says that ' Solomon slept with his fathers.' Now, surely, if he had been rich he'd have had a bed to himself." A teacher in try- ing to eiplain to her scholars the meaning of repentance. used this illustration : " Suppose a bad boy were to steal an orange, and hi« good mother should catch him with it, and lake him by the hand fjently and tell him how wicked is is, and how very, very grieved she was ; don's yoa think, now, that the little boy oughs to feel â- orry .' " One of the scholars eagerly replied: " Yoe. muiu." " .\nd why, Mar- laaduke'? Cause." "Because, why, Marmadnke ?

In all the fashions for this season of ItO^j â€"and their name is legionâ€" there ia bet one indexible rule, but one unalterable law, the law of loveliness. T herefcre, let every woman make herself aa beaatifol as she can according to her lights and her pocketbook, and however this desirable result is reached, let her rest assured that so far aa " being in the faahion ' goes she's entirely safe from criticism. The gowns which are being dniahed off for Easier Sunday are mostly of woollen material, either entirely or in part. And a trqly marvellous variety of patterna sire ahown in this fabric. The shops are literally full of these stuffs and the prices at which they are offered are notably reasonable. Cashmeres seem to have taken a new lease of popularity. These pjaid colors are combined either with a wooUen striial, plaided or figured material, cr with any kind of sUk that the wearer fancies. The luderskirt ia ma:<e very plainly. No pleatings are required at the foot- Fre- queatly a few broad, fiat folds are laidfrom the waistbaad so the hem, to dll in a space left eipo6«d by looping the drapery very- high aboTe peinl. Polonaises of the plam goods look well over underskirts of the fancy stod, which ia then used for draperies or revers on waist and sleeves. There are numerous pretty miied cheviots. These are also doable width, so that in baying them one need get only one- half the qaantity required of sui^e goods. Very pretty checked and striped aoraha have been offered this week at two New York shops. They are in black and white, blue and white, browns, darkest greens and mahogany and terra-coita shades. . These silka do not crease easily and are cool and light to wear. They combine very nicely with the plain caah- merts. Where two colors are desired in a suit the following go well together : Gobelin blue and creana or suede ; dark green and reseda (mignonette green) : green and copper shades ; brown looks well with chamois, and grays with white or cream. Paintly shaded stripes and " invisible " checks are saitable tor tailor-made dresses. Short cloth jackets will be in great favor. Many of these are in some dark color and are cat to hang open in front, showing a white or light colored cloth waistcoat onjemeath which buttons up to the throat and is trimmed with braid. White cloth jackets are likely to be as popular this season as red and suede have been in former times. Cut they are not a good investment for a woman who wants to get much wear out of her spring garment, as they soil quickly, besides being too con- spicuous for most occasions in town. In the country they will look charming. Very pretty little mantles are desigtied for spring. Some of them are shaped eiactly like a dress body, est with little tabs in front and a small coat-tail at the back. They are sleeveless and have epaulets. "These may be made cf silk, gressdine or net. and should be more or less covered with beads and fringe and dangling ornaments, with ribbons fastening them in front at throat and waist.

A Curious Creature ihiit Told a Man of Bis Xotker 9 Dcatli. Michael Phelan, the vigilant night watch- man at the Planters" House, tells some jueer stones of his experiences in Ireland Oef ore he decided to emigrate : " Once 1 saw a banshee. It was many years ag«, in King's County. Ireland, about forty miles from Dublin. Daring the sum- mer months there the twilight is very long, and late one afternoon, when the sun hau gone down, I happened to walk over to the farm of a man named Michael Bums. Weil, aa we stood and talked my friend suddenly said : â-  Mike, do yoa want to see abanahee ." Of course I did, and when I looked where ne pointed, sore enoog'n, there in the lane, oreepmg along nesir the hedge waa a wee Uit of a ihmg not more than three feet high. It looked like a UtUe girl, only its hair, which waa long and yellow, fell^down Its back clear to the ground, and aa it crept along It whimpered and moaned jus: like a child in pain. My friend looked very grave, saying : ' That's a family banahee. and I'm afraid some of my relations are going tc 'be sick." " Pretty soon I left, but not before a neighbor had ccm« riding uc. and told my friend to make haste aa b:a mother bad been taken very ill. The next day I learned that the pcor woman had d led before her son reached her. Oh. die banshees are queer things, and they zever let any one come near them. Another man I knew, came across one sitting in a cornfield, near the fence. When he suddenly appeared, it ran oat of sight among the 00m, but it dropped its comb from its yellow hair, and the man pickcc it up and put it in hia pocket. That night the banshee came near the house and whined so piieotisly that the man dropped the comb out of the window. The banahee then left, and when a search was made next morning it was found that the comb had disappeared, too.' â€" 5.'. icuu i'M Dirpatch. How Lat«t>t Scuttlvb News.

A remarkable career was brought to a close by the death of Mr James Morton, in a private home in Glasgow, ca Mouday morning. Ue was cloeely connected with the disastrous failure of the City cf Cilas- gow Bank in 187$. Commencing life aa a farm boy, be afterwards sold milk from house to hoase in the streets of Glasgow, and subsequently opened a stationery shop in the same city. After failing, in l:>t7 he became associated with several gentlemen in the Australian trade, and went heavily into N ew Zealand land speculations. Im- mediately after the bank stopped payment. James Morton's failure was intimated wish liabilities of £3,461.0<J4. The City Bank had advanced him fJ, 173,000. For many years Mr. Morton had financed the affairs of the bank, and it was in reiom for this service that he exercised the privilege of drawing whatever money he needed for his own operations. After bis disgrace in con- nection with the bank failure he returned for a time to bis original occupation, and again drove a milk cart through the streets of Glasgow. But misfortane contmued to follow him. and before his death he was reduced to a condition of extreme poverty. The story of Mr. Morton's career is one of the most romantic chapters of modern commercial historv.
