HOME MANUFAcTURE.-Two old plow-
men down east were telling tough stories
of their exploits in breaking up new
ground. The linen was taken off the
bush in this yarn: "iTwas up in Dix
mont, twenty-seven years ago this spring.
Twas blowing in stump ground with
team of nine pair of cattle for Sol Cum
bingham; we were going along, maxim
not very smooth work among the rocks
and stumps; well, one day the pint o. the
pillow struck fair against a. sound stump
four foot through, split it square across
the heart, and / was follerin' the pillow
through, when the thought flashed thro'
my mind that the pesky stump might
snap together and pinch my toes, SO jest
gripped the pillow. handles firm and swung
my feet up out O. the way, and the stump
sprung back and catched the slack of my
pantaloons. That brought everything up
standin'. Well, I frightened my hold,
and Jim Swithin, he and Sol was drivin',
they spoke to the cattle and we snaked
that stump right out by the roots, end it

JUVENILE PRECoCITY.- be young
declares Lowell, sis surely the best of the
most precarious gifts of life, !" and in an
other place he asserts that the company
of children beats all other recipes for
prolonging life" But, as says some one
else, there are no children now. The
genus jatoenis has disappeared in this fast
age, and mankind leap suddenly from in
fancy into young men ard women. For
merly, misses made their e1otree in society
at eighteen and twenty years of age.
Now, if they have not come out by four
teen or fifteen they think themselves de-
cidedly backward and behind time.
Daughters nowadays have gone the
grand rounds of fashionable friVolities at
the age when their mother was exchang-
ing short for long dresses 1t is a mel
ancholy spectacle to look in upon an eve,
ming party, and observe how pale and
wan are many cheeks that should be rud-
dy with the bloom and glow of youth.
Thousands Of children can be found eve

ments long after the hour when regard
for health suggests that they should be

This is all wrong, and should receive
the severest censure of the pulpit and the
press. We need look no further for an
explanation of the increasing debility,
premature development, and early decay
of our American women If they ever
expect to attain the health and vigor of
their English sisters, they must be kept
back, as arc the latter, from the wear and

AN ORCHESTRAL ExPERIENCE.-Ac cor
respondent of the st. Louis Republican
gives the following humorous experience:
was an orchestra once, for ten min
utes, and afforded great satisfaction. Let
me tell you all about it, 1t was in Troy
some years ago. Mrs. Waller, the excel
lent tragedienne, was playing that child
of the Dismal Swamp, the Duchess of
Malfl," and dark and desperate piece
it is. After a series of awful disasters
the unhappy duchess very properly goes
out OF her head. She is confined in mad
house, and during entire scenes the groans
and cries of the demented are heard out
side. To do this accompaniment in shape
the manager had the orchestra, all able
bodied Dutchmen, who were usually in
the music room playing penny ante when
not "rung IN" gathered in the green.room
under the stage A hole was bored in the
ceiling above, and a string attached to
the prom pter's desk was depended
through It, In solemn cnncIave ut the
Dutchmcn-One with che string in his
hand-and as the prompter tugged the
strlng from above each one for himself
sent ups dismal howl that lifted the hairs
of the listeners in front. One night du-
ring the Duchess Of Malfl" run, strayed
into the green-room and enjoyed the wild
beast show, as l called the bowling musi-
clans Between one batch of bowls and
another quite an interval occurred. Du-
ring this interval one by one the sufferers
dropped out was perched under gas
light deep in some novel OF that period,
when the string commenced to wiggle vi
olently. All the demented were gone,
the walls of the damned were expected;
I let one or two awful shrieks thinking
it might help 'em up stairs or bring the
stray hoWlers back on duty. One pair of
lungs wasn't enough the string kept
thrashing up and down, when my eyes
lit upon the biggest brass tooteg l ever
saw, left by one Of the renegades. No
sooner seen than I tackled it. I lost sight
of the string; lost the power of.hearing
with my first blast. Mrs. Waller said, as
she knelt on the stage above me: "Harkl
hear ye not, how signing on the wind
comes the wall of the lost spirits p She
paused for the vail; did my level best
and lifted her six inches off the boards
with my first blast. Thatseemed to inspire
me. Ignored the stops that might have
cramped my great achievements, but bid
ding farewell to all my fears of ruptured
blood-vessels, or total deafness, or future
punishment, let. out that which was
most Within me, and have never had a
stomach ache since But the audience
they roared, and the manager cursed, and
Mrs. Waller flew down the green-room
stairs There was absorbed in my tre-
mendous performance, oblivious to all be-
side the success of my musical efforts.
The manner in WHICH my orchestral essay
was received, closed my career as female
wind instrumentalist.
