MENTAL AND SOCIAL RECREA-
TON

That simple and innocent amuse-
ments should enter largely into the
every day life of a large class of the
American people is daily growing
more and more evident. That ster-
ling publication, "HalPs Journal of
Health" says that mental diversion,
mental exhilarati on, mental release
from the cares and business and
worries of life are not only essential
to healthful thought and healthy
condition of the mind, but they ma
terially promote bodily vigor and
physical well being. 1t is the alb
sence of these amuSements that, to
so great an extent, leads to SO many
social evils, to many habits and
practices which ruin the health and
the morals of our sons and daughters
in a great many cases. If boys and
girls from fifteen and upwards do
not find amusements at home, during
these long, sultry, dull evenings, they
sigh for places where exhilaration
can be found; the sons for the street
the daughters for the dance, for
the visiting of their associates whose
homes are more lively, Parents
cannot be too careful that their
homes are made attractive enough
to keep their children at home
Young people cannot be expected to
have books and newspapers always
in their hands, or to sit demurely
by the family freside by the hour,
in hemming and stitching and knit
ting. Games and pastimes shoulc
be more freely introduced into ou1
families; there should be more off
hand visiting, of informal calls
where enc neighbor can drop int
another neighbours house after dark
and spend an hour two in unre
strained social intercourse, without
form or ceremony, for two or three
nights in every week; thus giving
air. exercise and recreation.

AsENsAr1oNAL STORY.

The experience OF pork butch
er's shop-boy named BrOche who
has just been tiled by ccurt-martial
at Versailles are we'll worth a pass
ing record. On the outbreak of the
Communal instruction, he was TAX
en-much against his will-from the
sale of sausages to serve in a FEEDER
al battalion of National Guards at
Neuilly. Here in he incurred the
ill will of his comrades by his refus-
al to accept the rank of captain
He was accordingly tried and sen.
fenced to be shot. The men entrust
ed with his execution decided by
way Of change, perhaps-to hang
the unfortunate Broche, instead o.
shooting him, and he was according
ly launched into space from first
floor window. He contrived, how
ever, to cling to the wall, and so to
avoid total strangulation, until cut
down by some men of another bait
taIlion who took pity on him and dis
approved of the unmilitary mode of
execution adopted Broche, how
ever, only remained two days with
his new friends. At the end of that
time he attempted to escape, but was
so closely pursued that he jumped
into the Seine, and swan to the bank
occupied by the Versailles troops,
who Hospitality received him with
a hailstorm of balls, one of which
struck him in the leg. Being taken
before a court-martial of officers of
the regular army, his protestations
of innocence were disbelieved, and
he was condemned for the second
time to be shot. The executors of
NJ. Theirs, however, did not do their
work any better than those of the
Commune, for though duly shot and
left for dead, Broche escaped with
two flesh wounds and a broken arm.
He was hidden and nursed by an
inhabitant of Puteaux, where he had
been shot, and when the Commune
fell, was again arrested and taken to
Versailles where he appears to have
passed the last eight months in pris-
on. Being tried a very few days
ago for the third time, the unlucky
and yet lucky pork-butcher was at
once acquitted. Here's ready
made hero for a sensational novel
list.

Henry Ward Beecher is reported
to have lately said in sermon that
it was as much the business of every
man to vote as to say his prayers,
feeling that "this beloved country is
worth all the time, all the efforts we
can give it." In this the eloquent
preacher is doubtless right, but if
the voting classes of the country
were limited to its praying classes,
it is probable the falling off in the
exercise of the elective franchise
would astonish not a few of the
church goers themselves.

THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF A
PAPER


THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF a
PAPER
If there is any poor devil upon
the face of the earth who needs the
charity of his race, it is that unlucky
individual, the local editor of news
paper. He is expected to be every
where, and to be creature of cir
cumstances in its broadcast sense
If a correct version of some ugly af-
fair is given, why it is too harsh for
ears polite if the private grudge of
every man, who has anything
against another, and he has not the
courage to face his object of hate, is
not paraded before the public, he is
charged with corruption or fear. If
a friendly notice of some worthy in
dividual is made, he was paid to do
that, and it is disgusting. The To-
cal editor is expected, in short, to
serve up every morning something
to please the taste of every body
There is no business on earth so
much abused and censured as that of
the newspaper, and we are yet to
find the first of these fault finders,
but who could, in his own estima-
ton, run paper successfully, and
we have never yet seen one of them
who had capacity or education
enough to write a sensible para
graph. "That's what sort of fell
low the chronic finders are

FORCE OF EXAMPLE.

The poor woman who, with a
scanty wardrobe, is ever neat and
clean in her person, amidst various
and trying duties--is patient, gentle
and affectionate in her domestic re-
lations--with small funds is econOm-
ical and judicious in her household
management, as presenting every
day practical exposition of some of
the best lessons in life, may be a
greater benefactress of her kind than
the woman of fortune, though she
scatter 1.-THE of a large fortune in
aims.
The poor man, whose regularity
and sobriety of conduct cooperate
with such a woman and shows his
fellow workmen, or townsmen, what
temperance, industry, manly tender
ness, and superiority to low and sen.
ual temptation, can effect in endear
ing home which like the green spo
that the traveller finds in the desert
is bright even amid the gloom Q
poverty, and sweet even amid all tn
surrounding bitterness--such a maj
does good as we'll as the most elo
quent writer that ever wrote.

VELPEAU, the French surgeon,
had two hospital patients whose bus.
ness for fifteen years was to be
knocked down and run over in the
street. When they saw light We
hicle approaching, and knew the
owner to be wealthy, they would
run across the street in such way a.
to be knocked down and carried to
the hospital, when they would sue
for damages. When the money
thus gained was spent, they would
/ go out and get run over AGAIN
They generally managed to AVOID
being too seriously injured In TINS
way; yet nearly every bone in their
! bodies had been broken.

TOO MUCH STUDY.

Are the children iu our schools oblig.
ed to study more than is consistent with
mental or physical strength and growth ?
1t is an important question, and one that
should receive attention. The temptation
on the part of parents and teachers TO
crowd study upon bright child is very
great, but it is too often done at the sacri.
flee of physical health, and too often the
mind itself breaks down from the severe
tension. The brain is cultivated at the
expense of the body, and in all such cases
there is fearful penalty to be pail, for
nature will not be trifed with. How
many precocious boys and girls who 'stood
at the head of their classes" term after
term, and gave brilliant promise of high
attainments and usefulness, have utterly
broken down before getting out of their
"teens" simply because of the unwise,
hot house pressure of the school ROOM
But if the evil was only in the school
room it would be less than it is, but the
pupils are compelled to study many weary
hours at home, when they should be per-
fectly free from mental exertion and be
attending to physical culture. The
school room has become too much of a
recitation ROOM We asked bright
Latin school boy the other day about his
studies he said he studied three hours
day out of school, and it was necessary
for him to do it to maintain his rank ;
1--WE have to study more at home than in
school," We submit that this is wrong,
and parent and teachers who foster or com-
pei this course are bringing sore evil upon
their children and pupils. There must
be sound bodies, vigor of muscle and
nerve, or the brain will fail, and our boys
and girls need more open air, more exer-
else, more relaxation. Our schools are a
source Of pride, but let them not be for
mistaken modes of culture.

A Japanese Bed.

As l was about to pass my first night
in japanese house, l watched auxiously
the preparations for sleeping. These were
simple mattress in the form of very
thick quilt, about seven feet long by four
feet wide was spread on the floor and
over it was spread an ample robe, very
long, and heavily padded, and provided
with large sleeves. Having put on this
night dress, the sleeper covers himself
with another quilt, and sleeps, 4. e., if he
has had some years practice 10 the use OF
this bed.
But the most remarkable feature about
japanese bed is the pillow. This is a
wooden box, about four inches high, eight
inches long, and two inches wide at the
ton. 1t has a cushion of folded papers
on the upper side to rest the meek on, for
the elaborate manner of dressing the hair
does not permit the japanese, especially
the women, to press the head on the pill
low. Every morning, the uppermost
paper is taken off from the cushion, ex-
posing clean surface without the ex'
pcDse of washing a pillow case

in learning how to poise my head 10 this
novel manner ; and when | finally closed
my eyes, it was to dream that | was being
slowly beheaded, and to awake at the
crisis to fnd the pillow wrong side up,
and my neck resting on the sharp lower
edge Of the box-Pam~elys Tracets.

In the Lions Den.


For some time past young man, nam
ed Joseph Whittle, has been engaged in
handling and tanning lions and other ami
mails belonging to Mr.. OBrien's mena-
gerie, now under shelter In the rear of
the Seven Stars Hotel, Frankford. Tues
day afternoon the cage containing large
performing lion, was wheeled into the
yard, and Mr. Whitte entered the cage
Tor the purpose of practicing the animal,
one that had been performed with for
several years, but few persons being in
the yard at the time. After part of the
performance had been successfully gone
through with, Mr.. Whittle put his head
into the lions mouth, but just at this time
the animal closed his jaw upon the un-
fortunate mans head, the teeth entering
his chin and throat. The men standing
in the yard Immediately commenced an
attack upon the lion with iron bars, sticks,
10, but his hold could not be broken un-
til an iron scraper, used for cleaning the
cage, was forced between the lions jaws.
Whittle was then released, but before he
could get from the cage the lion again
sprang upon him, wounding him on the
breas, and throwing him down. The lion
then caught him by the leg aud COM
menced to tear it in a dreadful mau-
ner. Boards were eventually insert
ed into the cage, and the lion, after be-
ing forced to let go his hold, was penned
up in a corner long enough for assistance
to reach Whttle, who was removed in an
insensible condition to the hotel He
has since been in critical condition.-
The wounded man has been in the en-
ploy OF Mr.. 0'Brien for several years, but
never handled the lion that injured him
until recently. After lingering in great
pain for two days Whittle died on Thurs
day afternoon at the Episcopal Hospital.
