W The Missouri Democrat Is vigor-
uusly writing up u magnificent scheme
10 break the power OF the present rail
road combinations between the East and
West. The project il to build - narrow
gauge, double track railroad from 81.
Louis to New York, with branches lead
ing to all The principal cities on the At
laMtic scaboartl. The Democrat thinks
tho enterprise could DC carried through
for si6,O0O.OVO, and large portion Of
this could br raised by. subscription
along the line Of the road. a road built
and opened 80 much more clcaply than
the existing lines, would reduce ireights
and make warm work for the mOnOpO-
lists, unless indeed, Tom Scott should

OF The Montreal Herald gives an &C
count Of a trip Of inspection over thu
new line Of wooden railway from Sorcl
to Arthabaska. This road will be tho
longest wooden railway in the world
when completed. The track is the full
width Of our ordinary roads, so that any
ordinary car or locomotive can run over
it. The ties are Of hemlock and tama-
rack, cut to the proper length, and mort
iced to receive the rail by an ingenious
Of circular saws on lonG
shaft, so as to cut three or four at once
This machine is portable, and is drawn
along the track as fast rs it is finished.
The tails are Of rock maple, four inches
wide by seven high, and fourteen feet
long. The train ran over this wooden
road at the rate of twenty-five miles al,
hour, and ran as smoothly as on the bcs,
iron rails, and with scarcely any noise.
But the great fact j. that this road only
cost $1,000 mile. including the right vi
way, clearing, grading, construction, en-
gincs, cars, depOts, bridges, engine and
repairing shops. warehouses, and every.
thing complete, except ono large br,lg.
over wide river. Ii has nine station.
with station houses, n car and locOMo
tive depot, engine end repairing shops
one engine and tender. two passenger
cars, eight grain cars, twenty-five plat.
form cars, and several miles of fences
all furnished complete for this cOmpara
lively small amount. and payment made
in bends at that. and not in cash. Tho
Directors expect the road will earn til,
money necessary to iron it, in case the.
ever think best to charge il to an iroi
road, within short time.

A School for Erousekeepers.

The modern American girl,
just emerging from girlhood
into womanhood. is a singular
institution. A graduate of the
City High School, she writes
pretty prose and sentimental
verses has a smattering of
botany, Latin, mathematics,
and generally considers herself
fit to discharge the duties for
which woman was specially
created. At the social dance
She shines pre-eminently as a
belle; understands all the lit
tie articles by means of which
Beauty leads captives in her
train. She flirts assiduously,
ogles admirably, and coquets to
perfection. Dressed in the
latest fashions, she promenades
Montgomery street, visits the
Library for the latest romance,
and impatiently awaits the
night that sees her at the thea
ter, in the concert room, or at
the ball, made beautiful by the
appliances of art and gaslight.
To serve as the bridesmaid at
some grand wedding is her first
ambition; the second, to be the
bride, surrounded by admiring
friends and acquaintances
Then begin the stern realities
o. life. A girl no longer-but
a woman. If life was but 8

ed philanthropists, the Earl of
Shaftesbury has founded an
institution for teaching, not
the classics or mathematics,
not the modern languages or
music--but the Art Of House
keeping. Lessons are to be
given in cookery and breadmak-
ing; lectures are to be deliver
ed on food, on cooking, on
housekeeping, the laws of
health, influences of heat and
cold in domestic economy, and
other kindred subjects, which
the mothers Of the present gen.
GRAFTON learned by experience,
but which they have neglected
to impart to their children. In
addition to theory, they are to
learn by practice.
A knowledge of the duties of
housekeeping is as essential to
woman as her A B BC's. With
ont such knowledge she is lost
in a sea of amazement and
doubt when called upoi. 70 pre-
side over a household. The
servants she hires laugh at hel
ignorance and take advantage
of her blunders. The trades.
man, who supplies her with the
necessaries of life, is not the
only one who profits by hel
inexperience. If the example
of the Earl of Shaftesbury were
followed in tho United States
if such an institution wer
founded in every large city
the best of results would fol

ty butterflies of fashion, ou
