Habits Of READING

All young people read good deal
now but do not see that q great deal
comes Of it. They think they have to
read.a good many newspapers, and a
good many magazine They are very
entertaining. But it is not always Ger
tain that the reade. g ts from them Just
what he reads. On the other hand, it
is certain that people who only read the
current newspapers and magazines get
very little good from each others socie-
ty, because they are all fed with Just
the same intellectual food. Tou hear
them repeat to each other the things
they have all read in the Daily Trllm-
pet or the Saturday Woodpecker. ] see
no objection, however TO light reading,
desultory reading, the reading Of news
papers, or the reading Of fiction, If you
take enough ballast with it, SO that the
light kites, as the sailors call them, may
not carry your ship over in some sud-
den gale. The principle Of sound hab-
its Of reading, if reduced to q precise
rule, comes out thus that for each
hour Of light reading-oi what we read
for amusement-we ought to take an
other hour Of reading for instruction or
improvement Nor have ! any obiec-
ton to stating the same rule backward,
for that is a poor rule that will not
work both ways. 1t is, ! think, true
that, for every hour We give to grave
reading, it is well to give q correspond
ing hour to what's light and amusing.
Now a great deal more is possible under
this rule than you boys and girls think
at first. Some of the best students in
the worldwide have advanced its af-
fairs furthest in their particular lines
have not in practice studied more than
two hours a day, Walter Scott, except
whom he was goaded to death, did not
work more. DIR. Bowditch translated
the great Mecanique Celeste" in less
than two hours daily labor But then
1t was regular as the movement Of the
planets its described. 1t did not stop,
for whim, or by accident, more than
Jupiter stops in his orbit because a hol-
idar comes round. n +. Hale.

A Cardinal Reception,

Which takes place in Rome generally
On the evening Of the same day that wit
uesses his installation as a member of
the Sacred college, is curious and
unique ceremony. 1t was the custom for
all the nobility OF Rome, the diplomat
ic corps, and the distinguished foreign
visitors to attend in uniform, or the
fullest of full dress, solemnly to con-
gratulate the newly-nade cardinal. On
these occasions was to be seen a daz-
zling array Of diamonds, for which the
Roman princesses are world-famous.

borrowed the expression from the mar
vellous collection of the Princess c.
Forentine heiress married to a Ro-
man as highly renowned for his muni-
ticence as for his great taste the coro-
nets in the shape Of trembling wheat
ears, the antique brooches of ruby and
clasps of sapphire, each distinctive OF
some great Roman family, were here
seen in profusion called forth by no
other social occasion. 1t is certainly
question that obtrudes itself on every
thoughtful mind, whether such a dis
play is suitable to the priestly office Of
the recipient of such marks of honor,
and have heard with pleasure a rumor
to the effect that such receptions were
to be considerably modified, and no
longer to be graced by full-dress toilets
for the ladies. The cardinals and other
high dignitaries are all given to little
harmless sociability, and are to be seen
according to custom, between the hours
of s and 10, in most Drawing rooms il

Physical Degeneracy of American
Women.

A woman with abounding physical
health, to whom the mere JOY of exist
ence is an intoxication, has become ex-
ceptional, not to say phenomenal. Most
women call themselves well, if they are
not i'll enough to be driven to bed. And
for every one woman who coddles I'M
aginary ailments and thinks it interest
ing to be little delicate, 100 women go
through the weary toll of daily house
keeping, who live and labor through
force of ambition and not through force
of muscle. We take much credit to
ourselves because we do not permit our
women to do feld-labor, but it is safe
to assert that no feld-labor is so ex-
hausting as the endless toll OF a "sniart"
American housekeeper who is poor, but
who, being American, must be genteel.
She is cook, maid-of-all-work, seam
STRESS tailoress, child's nurse. She
feels it right that the girls should have
rutfled petticoats, and the boys plenty
Of changes, and the sewing-society four
kinds of cake when it meets at her
house, and her own gowns such trim
ming as appears in her favorits monthly
fashion magazine. What Dutch or
Irish peasant woman who easily tills
her field could stand this pitiless strain?
Many causes are assigned for the de-
generate physique of modern American
women, but this is one folly of over
raining nerves and muscles in this
climate, which itself overstrains all SEN
sitive organisms, is the oEiefest cause,
we think. Corsets and weight of
skirts no doubt slay or MAIN their
thousands. But we should remember
that the corset of to-day is a cobweb
vest compared, let us say, to the straight
Jacket of buckram and iron which is on
view at Pilgrim hall as relic Of that
fair Puritan, Mistress Alice Bradford.
And the fashionable limpness of our
period has notably reduced the load Of
muslin which the mode Of twenty years
ago made indispensable. While it must
be remembered that our grandmothers,
who were held up as examples Of rosy
health, endured both the busked stays
and the pounds of pendent drapery.

Artists Studios.

As a rule there is nothing half socozy
as artists studios, though their s,yleauj
fashion is as varied as the works Of tle5r
owners. A few old examples may be
mentioned. NIilIais's studio isG.tal mp
with artistic taste and elegance. Few
painters are socomfortably provided. TO
my thinking, astudio should be elegant
ly and artistically furnished. Millais's
soft carpet, his classic vases, the flow
ing drapery, his pretty little piano, i'e
soft lights, the well-balanced color IF
his furniture, and his flowers lying
careleBsly here and there, are apropos
in the highest degree. Mr.. O'NeI had
a severer taste; but the silence Of 7s-
tant fields and forests seems almost 70
reign in the admirably-cods.ruc
work-room III which Eastward H
and ''Home Again" grew and astouisL =
the artists friends, 1t is easily 'l
understand how the big, dull side
that famous ship would startle the e
beholders who had access to O'Neil
studio. They thought their friend m
to fill his foreground with such an
mass but they were silenced when te
real homely English men and women
began to come down the side. saying
farewell to the gallant fellows who
presently crowded the deck and looked
over the bulwarks at the sorrow-strickou
dear ones for whom the old boatman
was waiting below. A contrast to both
these studios is that of Ben Header, who
has made his way to the front as a lonls-
cape artist. 1t is surrounded by the
country which Leader loves to paint;
the middle distance is fine, rich, open
meadow-land in the far distance the
Malvern hills mount up to the sky in u
graceful outline that rivals the sun sown
pictures of cloud mountains. Leaders
studio is as simple as the most ordinary
workship, There is nothing in it 60
distract the artists attention from his
work or to relieve the eye when it is
weary but the worker has all kinds Of
shutters and mechanical eontTiyanc.5
for the management of his lights ;aal
he paints with great facility, WORKING
with unhagging ea1nestness while he is
it. If he wants change, there is lis
horse at the door, and glorious country
to ride through, with the old city Of
Worcester lying down yonder in the
valley by the Severn. The finest studio
| ever visited-it would hold all those
have mentioned-is Dore's in Paris. 1t
was planned long before the artist be-
came famous. When there was som1
doubt about his pictures being hung a5
the French academy, he said to his
friend Jerrold, 81 will have my own
saloon; if they wish to see my pictures
they aust come there. Brave words
in them spoke out the conscious soul,
the firm will, the true genius --Lon3l4

Greatness


We admire eminent men not for
themselves, but for their relations to
mankind. The intellect and the moral
sentiments in the ultimate analysis are
not to be separated. There are many
men that say thought rules the world.
Who can doubt the potency Of an ir-
dividual mind? It is this that fires the
ambition Of every man. It gives moral
character. We count as the world4
great masters Alaric, Mahomet, Mira
bean, Napoleon, and even Henry VIII.
From these examples, I am bound to
say that no way has been found to make
heroism easy. The keynote Of the
true man is greatness, and greatnes3
comes from energy. This belongs to ia
all, to which we are sometimes faith
less, but Of which we never quite de-
spair. We hope to make it our monitor
through the eternities. It is only The
best anecdotes Of mind that we wish to
hear 7 know that men Of character
think they must needs 90 to Africa,
to Rome, to China. We have learned
that the college, the parlor, and the
counting-roon demand as much true
courage as the sea orthe camp 1t is
very certain that we are not nor should
be contented by any glory We have
reached Every mind comes one day
to be superhuous. We outgrow the
minds we once regarded as our teach
ers. How soon we become sick Of the
playthings Of the nursery! May not
the time come when the poetry Of
Homer and Milton will seem Ike the
sound Of a tin pan? The praise we
give to the true hero we shall unsay,
The very word greatness proyokes Il
feeling Of hostility. Greatness Is
there not something unfeeling in the
word There are points alike between
the old way and the new way Of the
road to the stars. Self-respect is one.
To use a homely illustration, we are at
once drawn to that man in a tavern fhat
maintains his own opinions in the face
OF all the b7-standers. We honor his
self-respect The common laborer re-
fuses money for saving your life, and
makes himself your equal by the act,
and asserts his self-respect. What a
bitter-sweet sensation we have after
pouring ont our praises to ole 70 find
him quite Indifferent to our good opin-
ion. One sometimes meets a gentle
man who, if good manners had not ex-
isted, would have invented them, show
ing what man originally owes TO man.
Self-respect, then, is the following oE
an inward leader, and is one OF the
main elements Of greatness. There are
functions OF nature supplementary TO
the bent Of individuals. Thus, for
geology there will be men born with nm
eye to viewing mountains and marking
the differences Of strata. Such man
will have a desire for chemistry, for ma
tural physics, for fishes, and for plants,
Men of the present find stimulus
through the wonders laid open by
means of the solar spectrOscope, find
ing the same element in the sun and
distant planets as in the earth. Again,
one boy longs for the sea, another tor
foreign lands, another to be an arcM-
tect Thus there is not a man born
but, as his genius opens, turns in thHs
line to his pursuit. .-Eme'a0a

4 Jewish Wedding in Algeria,

From the subioined sketch of Il Jew
ish wedding in Algeria, extracted from
the recent work OF Lady Herbert on
algeria in 1871, " it will be seen what
fearful and wonderful thing the we'd
ding ceremony, as practiccd at the pre-
sent day in that country, is. Particu-
lar harsh is it upon the poor bride; SO
much so that our American maidens
would doubtless declare, almost to a
man. that sooner than endure ali the
steaming, scrubbing, fumigating, par
boiling, dressing, undressing, undress-
ing, ballooing, psalmsinging, and mis-
cellaneous torture described by the fair
tourist, they would remain single all
their born days. The account runs
thus, in Lady H. s language
We paused in our sightseeing to go
with Nine. de c. and her beautiful
daughter to see Jewish wedding, for
which she had kindly obtained us an
invitation. We were received i'll an
allowed room, where a breakfast Of
sweetmeats, cakes and sweet wines were
set out, the bride and her parents being
seated on a divan at one end, dressed in
rich Jewish costume. After a short
time we were told. to precede the young
lady to the Moorish vapor bath, which
is the next part OF the ceremony. Such
marvellous scene as there met our eyes
I despair of reproducing on paper.
About fifty Jewish young girls, from
twelve to twenty years of age, whose
only clothing was scarf of gold or sill
yer gauze round their loins, with their
beautiful dark hair all down their backs,
and their lc" hito necks and arms
covered witt ac,la and bracelets,
were seen dimly through cloud of
steam and incense, standing in.the wa
ter waiting for the bride, and when she
appeared they received her with loud,
shrill cries of eli Ii Ii y in con-
tinually ascending scale. And among
these girls were hideous negresses
equally scantily clothed, and one or two
of them with their black woolly hair
dyed bright orange color these were
the bathing women. They seized us by
the arm and wanted to force us to I'M
dress too, which we stoutly resisted and
took refuge on the raised marble slab
which surrounded the bath, and where
the pretty little bride, with her mother
and aunts, was standing waiting to be
unrobed. They took off her heavy vel
vet clothes, and she appeared in beau
tiful gold-fgured gauze chemise and
lovely short red and gold drawers ;
they then led her, with the same cries,
into an inner room, which was sitting
with steam, and here the poor child,
who was only thirteen, remained for
three mortal hours, the women pouring
water on her head from picturesquely-

Good Habits of Sleeping in Babies.

One baby often rules a whole house
hold, and with an iron rod, too The
mother brings up the old excuse, that
she does not dare to control it, as she
should like to, on account of its nervous
temperament. So, for that reason, pa
pa, must 90 out of the room to read hs
paper, because the rustling of it wakes
baby auntie mustn't paetiro, for baby
is asleep; if anybody attempts to enter
the room, mama holds mp a warning
finger, with n look of pitifnl distress
upon her face and if perchonce the
door-bell rings or door slams, the cry
of the baby is sure to follow close upon
It. In fact, silence must be maintained,
il possible, while baby sleeps and
that, in most houses, is a pretty hard
thing to accomplish. Now, | do not
believe that all this regard for baby's
nerves is necessary. I believe, if the
mother begins Alright, she can accustom
her baby to sleep in spite of all the
noises incidental to the house. By
hushing every noise, and accustoming
the baby to sleep in undisturbed quiet,
she educates it to be nervous and to cry
ont at every unusual sound. Many
mothers make q regular business, every
forenoon, of getting the baby to sleep.
They sometimes spend an hour or more
in their endeavors, rocking and singing
until they completely exhaust them
selves. / do not believe such process
is necessary, though I know many
mothers will disagree with me- / be-
lieve that any healthy baby can be
taught to go to sleep on the bed by it.
self, without any rocking or singing, 4
tbe RIGHT means are taken in season. 1t
seems but reasonable to say that no
child will cry to be rocked asleep who
uover was rocked to sleep, or cry to be
walked with if that habit has not been
lpoetieed, or, in fact, cry for any special
thing Of which it knows nothing, /
