A Pretty Chestnut Vender in New
lOTk-alI for France.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Times
tells the following story:
Rosy cheeks and red apples seem to
have natural utilization for each other
when amidst rural associations, but they
are not altogether At home in one thought
in the heart of this big city; hence the
excitement over our fresh novelty. Prom
enaders on gorgeous Broadway were as
tonished TO see a beautiful young girl. in
kid boots and gloves, with velvet turban
and long ostrich plume. standing beside
a chestnut rooster, purple grapes, and
scarlet apples, on Saturday last, as they
passed fashionable corner of the street

and her apparent inability to speak anv

is wonderfully like that of Eugene, and
her pretty, modest eyes turn down at the
corners similarly, and her hair Is warm
and brown, almost real russell, and
her figure, in its velyeteen jacket, IS tho
roughly beautiful, and graceful in its pose
and outline. If you purchase your cigar
cite, your apple, or your glass OF chestnuts,
and pay the precise amount required, she
puts it in her pocket, smiles sadly; but
does not lift her beautiful eyes. If you
give her more than the price, she lifts them
to yours, smiles most warmly, and drops
the money into a box which has only
slight opening in the lid, and says IN her
own tongue, Thank you, it is for France.
| suppose if the purchaser demanded the
change she would return it instantly, but
nobody wishes it. Indeed the smile and
the thanks make you heartily ashamed be-
cause the sum was so meager. That she
wears silk dress of the latest Partisan
pattern does not cause surprise, becauseyou
/ can easily believe that she has no other
I style of costume. She wears the colors
of her country pinned tie the left breast,
and now and then she lays her hand low

" How Mother did it,"
A HUSBANDS "REMINISCENCES.


If we were to suggest one which, above
all other things combined, would most con-
tribute to the happiness of the young
housekeeper, it would be to learn how to
cook as a husbands mother cooked.
Mother used to make coffee so and so i;
mother used to have such waffies and
mother knew just how thick or thin to
make squash pie /; and, oh if could
only taste of mothers biscuit Such are
the comments of the husband and of too
many meal tables. 1t would be only a
little more cruel for the husband to throw
his fork across the table, or to dash the
contents of his teacup in his wife's face.

admiration of its excellence " According
to DR.. Granville, there is not single form
of bandage known to modern surgery of
which examples are not seen in the swath-
ings of the Egyptian mummies. The strips
OF linen have been found extending to
1000 yards in length Rossellina gives
similar testimony to the wonderful variety
and skill with which the bandages have
been applied and interlaced." The ex-
clusion of the air from the surface of the
body was the object of this patient labor,
and every proper expedient was resorted
to to make the cerements fit tightly. Not
the large limbs only. but the fingers and
toes have been separately bandaged in the
more elaborate mummies. The BODY was
generally labeled, having its card, so to
speak, placed within the linen folds, and
generally on the breast The identified
ton was usually plate of metal engraved,
but sometimes it was small image of
god, or an animal, with the name of the
mummy on it, and this has been found
sometimes within the body. Beads, ear
rings, necklaces are frequently turned out
from among the wrappings. The bandag-
ing effected, the next thing was to fit the
mummy SltrtOllt, which was made of LAYERS
OF cloth pasted or glued together till they
formed pasteboard. Before it could be
called board, however-that is to say.
while 1t was yet moist and pliable-it was
placed about the wearer, whose shape it
was made to take accurately. As soon as
the artist was satisfied with the fit, the
garment was sewn up at the back, and
then allowed TO harden. \ mask, repre-
senting the features Of the deceased, was
put over the head, and continued some
way over the shoulders. Male mummies
wore reddish brown, aud female yellow
lsh green mask, as rule /; but the faces of
some mummies, and sometimes even their
whole surfaces, were gilded over Com
monty the pasteboard case was painted in
bright colors, whose brilliancy was as
lasting as the mummy itself Hierogyph- /
les were emblazoned on it, and it was in .
some instances stuck over with beads and .
'pangles. The legend would describe the T
departed, or include a prayer or invoca-
ton. The mummy was thus complete.

Sitting Down on EGGs.-Henry Ward
Beecher thus gives his experience in hunt
ing hens eggs
We put the eggs safely in our coat
tai pocket, and walked cautiously. 1t re-
called piece of disreputed earelessness
on our fathers part, who once set down
on dozen eggs, and went up as if every
egg was bomb, and every bomb in ex-
plosion But then he was notorious ab-
sent-minded man. His example was our
safety. And yet we dwelt with some in
ward mirth, as we walked to the house, on
the ludicrous figure our father cut
Dinner was spread as We came in. Some
questions came up which diverted our
thought from the discovery of the nest
indeed we forgot that we had an egg
about Us, and drew to the table aud sat
down with alacrity, which was only
equailed with the spring with which we
got UP.

RULES OF STUDY.-Professor Davis, the
mathematician, gives the following rules of
study; l. Learn one thing at time. ..
Learn that thing well. 3. Learn its con-
nections, SO far as possible, with all things.
4. To know everything about something,
is better than to know something about
everything.
Teachers, please ponder these, and then
read them to your pupils, that they may
consider them also. We are aware that
it will take some courage to apply Rule 4,
that is, to resolve to be ignorant of some
things, that we may be profound in some
others. But such is as inevitable as fate
if profundity is gained. He who resolves
to carry the whole cJclopedia of knowledge
abreast of him will carry nothing very far.
If Blackstone had resolved to carry geology
and astronomy side by side with law, his
name, instead of being as enduring as the
Ler non scripty of England, would have
persisted with the newspaper in which 1t
was printed.
Had Newton resolved, in addition to his
work on astronomy to rival Milton as a
poet, johnson as a photographer. and
/ Hale as jurist, his name would not DO as
now, imperishable as the laws of gravity.
And so of Bopp, and Grimm, and Kepler'
and LaPlace, and Dcscartes, and LlebIg,
and Agasi?, and the shining hosts OF 9TH
ers, who have stood upon the tops OF the
passing centuries

Egyptian EummieS.

The most curious of the arts of Egypt,
was that by which they disposed of their
dead. 1t was the will of the Egyptians to
have their bodies, or the principal portions
of them, preserved as long as possible from
decay and this was effected so success
fully that the sight-seer of to-day may ex-
anime the corpses of men and women over
whom thousands upon thousands of years
have rolled without bringing to them cor
ruption, or depriving them of the human
form. Indeed, we know of no limit to
the endurance of the mummy if left In
Egypt, the climate for which it was pre-
pared. The processes for there were
three processesl of embaiming required
from two to three months to complete
them. The body was never embalmed
whole. Some portions were always re-
moved, and not always, there is reason to
suppose, preserved /; but commonly the
separated portions were preserved by them
selves and placed in jars. The exterior
body was then filled with myrrh, cassia
and other gums, and after that saturated
with natron. Then there was marvel
