Girls shou1s learn to Keep Hou.s

No young lady can be two well in
structed in any thing which will affect
the comfort of a family. Whatever pO-
sitiOn in society she occupies, she needs
a practical knowledge of household du-
ties. She many be placed in such cir
cumstances that it will not be necessary
for her to perform much domestic labor;
but on this account she needs no less
knowledge than if she was obliged to
preside personally over the cooking
stove and pantry. Indeed, I have
thought it was more difficult to direct
Others, and requires more experience,
than to do the same work with our own
hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and
particular that they do not like to give
up any part of the care to their children.
This is a great mistake in their manage
ment for they are often burdened with
labor and need relief. Children should
be early taught to make themselves use
full to assist their parents every way in
their power, and to consider it a privil-
ege to do so.
Young people can not realize the i'm
pOrtanCe Of a thorough knowledge of
hOusewifery: but those who have suffer-
ed the inconvenience and modification
VI lSuOLdllCC Gdu We'll appreciate H.
Children should be early INDUCED in
their disposition to bake and experiment
in various ways. 1t is often buta trOub-
lesOme help that they affOred; still it is
great advantage to them. I know a
little girl who at nine years old made a
loaf of bread every week during the WIN
ter. Her mother taught her how much
yeast, salt and flour to use, and she be-
came quite an expert baker. Whenever
she is disposed to try her skill in making
simple cakes or pies she is permitted to
do so. She is thus, while amusing her.
self, Tearing an important lesson. Her
mother calls her, her little hOuse-keeper
and often permits her to get what is nee
essary for the table. She hangs the KEYS
by her sides, andveTy musical is the jing-
ling to her ears. think before she is
out of her teens, upon which she has
not yet entered, that she will have some
idea how to cook.
Some mothers give their daughters the
care Of housekeeping, each a week by
turns. 1t seems to be a good arrange
ment and most useful part of their ed
ucatiOn. Domestic labor is bynO means
incompatible with the highest degree OF
refinement and mental culture. Many
of the most elegant, accomplished wO.
man I have known have looked well tC
their household duties, and have honor
ed themselves and their husbands by Sc
doing.

An APpIaudIng Machine

| Most of our readers are aware of the
practice, universal in French theaters, OF
employing claqueUrs for the purpose OF
| applaUding the actors and plays. There
/ is a curious story showing how the di-
rector Of a French provincial theateT
managed to have his pieces applaUded
without incurTing the expense of a hu-
man clGgUe. Some twenty years ago
the director Of the theater of prOvin-
cial town, seeing that his actors were
never applaUded or sustained by any
marks of appreciation, organized a cldqUC
to stimulate the spectators. This innO-
walton did not meet with success; the
cLdqueTS, Missed and beaten, were Oblig-
ed to resign their functions the first eve
ming. The manager did not insist, but
at the same time did not acknowledge
himself beaten. He was endowed with
great perseverance, and above all with a
very ingenious imagination; he proved
it.in this circumstance, for shortly after
wards, the public, so calm and cold in
appearance, became demOnstrative and
loud in applause. 1t was brought about
thus. In conjunction with a machinist,
as discreet as he was Intelligent, our di-
rector organized a mechanical cLIQtte.
The reader must imagine several articU-
lated hammers at four different places
under the pit floor, and so that they
might strike on a string being pulled.
The noise produced by these hammers
simulated that of a stick. A few yards
from the hammers, in the center of the
pit, were placed two instruments which
initiated the clapping Of the hands.
They were two large castanets covered
with leather; a string pulled the two
strings together. The noise of these me-
chanical clappers penetrated into the
theater through holes placed above them
and dissimulated under the seats of the
spectators. The six cords met in a part
Of the theater unknown to all except the
machinist, and were fastened to six
strong wooden keys, like those of pi-
anO. One can easily understand the
working of the instruments; at certain
passages of a piece, indicated beforehand
by the director, .the machinist placed
his finger on one or another of the KEYS, |
struck little blows right and left, as peO- [
pie, impatient of applauding, do with |
their canes. 1t was only very rarely !
that the public did not answer this ap- !
peal. In this case, the machinist set his /
whole machine at work, and all the an /
engines mixed themselves
with the real applause of the spectators. /
This ingenious aTtitice remained always /
ignored by the victims, and to-day the /
town is much sought after by,traveIing .
actors on account of the good will and
to applaud of the spectatorS.-t

The Golden Age OrspaIn.

In the year 755, the Spanish Kingdom
became Independent, and the three CEN
tUries following were the most prosperous
in the history of MOhammedan Spain.
But the golden age was during the tenth
century. The MOOFs, though warlike,
were still industrious, and agriculture
flourished in Spain during those years as
it has never fiOurished there since.
Roads and bridges were constructed,
and canals for fertiliZing the ground
were formed in all parts Of the country.
Learning, too, was encouraged by the
kings of COrdOva: and at the close of the
eleventh century, Moorish Spain could
boast her seventy large libraries; while
her poets, orators, historians, philOsO-
pliers, and mathematicians, We're Sec
Ond to none of that age. COrdOya, the
capital, was equal to many cities like
the COrdOva of to-day. At one time
there were in that city six hundred mos
uues and nearly four thousand chapels
or mosques of smaller dimensions; four
thousand three hundred minarets or
towers, from which the people were call
ed to prayers; nine hundred public baths
more than eighty thousand shops, sixty
thousand palaces and mansion, and two
hundred and thirteen thousand common
houses. The city extended eight leagues
along the Guadalquiver. We can form
some idea of its splendOr when we are
told that palace built near the city by
Abderrahman III, had its roof suppoT-
ted by more than four thousand pillars
of variegated marble. that the floors and
walls were of the same costly material,
that the chief apartments were adorned
with exquisite fountains and baths, and
n Il |nh hVvt n
nificent grounds.
In 1O31 the kingdom of COrdOva came
to an end, and several petty Kingdoms
took its place. But soon these Kingdoms
became dependent upon the Arabic mon
archs of Northern Africa. During the
eleventh and twelfth centuries the chris
tians gained rapidly on the NIOOrs; and
by the year 1929, the date of the fOUnda-
ton of the kingdom Of Granada, the
latter people retained OnlySsa part of
Southern Spain. ...
The little kingdom of Granada, though
only some seventy leagues in length by
thirty in BREADTH contains thirty-twO
large cities, ninety-seven smaller ones,
and population of thee millions. The
city Of Granada alone had seventy
thousand houses.
This kingdom held out against the
Christians till the beginning of the year
1892. With the fall of Granada came the
close of the Moorish rule in the Penin-
sula. A few years latter many of the
NIoors were expelled from the country.
But the traveller still sees in various
parts of Spain numerous traces Of their
dominion. He sees these traces in the
Oriental style Ofthe edifices, in the alcaz-
ars, in the mosques, now converted
into christian churches, in the beautiful
palace of Alhambra, and in the canals
which still fertilize the soil from which
those who made them were expelled

The walltng of the Jews in JoruaIem,

( The Jews i'll Jerusalem have pUrchas-
/ ed the right of the Turkish Government
/ to assemble every Friday afternoon, near
one side of the Mosque of Omar, against
q supposed portion of their ancient Tenn
/ pie, and there lament and weep over
| their fallen city, and faded glOries.
/ Men, Women and children there assem-
| BILE, all coming with Bible in hand and
| dressed in their best suit. The men wear
a kind of long dressing gown made of
| brOadclOth or merinO, or calico, of vaTi-
Gus cOlOTs, having the edges trimmed
with fur: and upon their heads they
wear caps turbaned also with fur. Their
hair is cut short behind the ears, but
hangs in long curIs in front. The better
class of women are clothed in a white
loose dress and shawl.
As they approach the place of weeping
they usually lean first, for a short time,
with their heads against the wall, but
soon begin to swing their bodies back
and forth, Wringing their hands, while
priest or patriarch leads off in reading
selections from the Prophets in most
Wailing tones.
At certain periods all voices join in
the cry, tears run down their faces, and
they seem to be moved by the most
agOniZing sorrow. Old men and women
were there with whitened locks and fee
bic step, and they bowed and wept in
deepest grief. Little children, too, were
there, their eyes mOistened and voices
trembled as they joined in the heart
touching lamentatiOn.
No IOOker-On can doubt but there is
sincerity in this service. The Jews feel
that Jehovah hears their cries and pray
ers, and, according toprOphecy, will re-
store to them, after long seasons of bit
ter wailings, their lost glOTies gather
ing together all the scattered children of
Israel, and hencefOrth permit them to
live and die in the Holy City, and be
buried among the graves of their faith
eTs.
This practice is said to have been con-
tinued from the twelfth century, and
perhaps from an earlier period. BY the
Emperor Adrian the Jews were driven
from the city. During the reign of Con-
stantine they were allowed to approach
only near enough to see it; but at length
they succeeded in purchasing the prfvi-
lege of entering it once year to weep, |
and at present they are allowed this
privilege every Friday.

between the betrOthed pair, and the sec
Ond for the wedding. The bridegroom
next sends valuable presents to his fu-
ture wife, who gives them to her parents.
The parants then make a suitable re-
turn to their sOn-in-law. The young
lady burns all her childish toys, to init
mate that her girlhOOd is over, and that
she must now attend to the serious busi-
ness of life. Her parents give her a
handsome wedding dress, and some use
full articles Offurniture, which always in
clude a spinning wheel, loom, and
culinary utensils, of all which the future
wife is supposed to know how to make
practical use. These presents are con-
veyed with much state and ceremony
to the bridegrOOn'sh house by the guests.
Marriage is considered a civil contract,
but it is usual to call in..the priests of the
religious sect to which the families be-
long to cOncecrate the nuptials. Pray
ers are offered benedictiOns are bestowed
and the bridal torches are kindled; the
brides is lighted from the fire on the al
ter, the bridegrOOm's from hers. The
meaning of this both obvious and poetic.
The bride is dressed entirely in white,
and covered with a vail which is care
fully preserved when the wedding is
over, and laid by till her death. 1t is
then used as Il shrOud. 1t is said that
the wedding vail is received for this
melancholy purpose i'll order to remind
the young wife that she is now dead to
her fathers home and family.
ATrayed in fine white garments, she
is seated in 4 kind of sedan chair, and
escorted by her relatives, is carried to
her new home. Upon reaching it, still
covered with the vail, and accompanied
by two young girls, she passes into the
principal room, where the bridegroom
sits awaiting her, and surrounded by
his parents and friends. In the center
of this room stands table, upon which
are some small figures representing a
fir tree, plum tree in blossom, a crane
and a tortOise-Emblems respectively of
mans strength, wOman's beauty, and
long and happy life.
Upon another table stands bottle and
cups. The bride approaches this table,
and commences her wifely duties by
pouring out salzee and distributing cups
of it among her guests. Many minute
forms are carefully attended to in
this pouring out of wine, in which
the brides maids, who are fanci-
fully called butterflies, take a distin-
guished part, as this drinking Of wine
completes the bridal ceremonial. Three
days afterward the bride and bridegroom
visit her parants to pay their respects to
them.

IN is not necessary to spend a great
deal Of money and go through cource
Of lessons to become a good eOngrega-
tiOnal singer. This could be accomplish
ed in a great measure by the forming of
large or small circles for the united prac-
tice Of vocal music This would prove
a stimUlant to general improvement and
by it much time idly and sometimes vic
iOusly wasted would be profitably and
pleasantly spent by all concerned. \
large number of good performers are
self taught, and it is often the case that
some who have had the least OppOrtuni-
ty for cultivation, have attained the
greatest superiority. Will name one Of
many instances which have come under
my observation proving this fact.
A miner from the coal mine districts
Of Lancashire, hearing that Julien was
coming to America, went to London tn
see him. Said he in his Lancashire dia-
lect. Il hear Mons. JULIEN be gouD to

handed him an old instrument to blow
on. Said he ''ye don't think, can blow
that thing do ye'? So they gave him
a good instrument and We're astonished
and delighted at his tones. "Can Won

a little" y fine piece Of music was Sc
lected and he played an Obligata solo for
the instrument in such a perfect and
beautiful manner that he was immeti-
ltely engaged 10y Julien. In music as
in other branches of education, more de-
pends on personal industry and applica-
ion than on opportunity. Ny object i'm
writing these observations has been to
ry to waken more interest in the conf
nmity on the subject ofmusic, and par
icularly the music of public worship.

ance of the science I shall feel that
