EDUCATING GIRLS FOR HOUSEHOLD
DuT1Es.-Educating girls for household
duties ought to be considered as necess !.
airy as instructing in reading writing
and arithmetic, and quite as universal.
We are in our houses more than half of
our existence, and it is the household
surroundings which effect most largely
the happiness OF misery of domestic
life. If the wife knows show ito keep
house" if she has learned how, things
ought to be cooked, how. beds should
be made, how carpets should be swept,
how furniture should be busted, how the
clothes should be repaired and turned
and altered and renovated; if she knows
how purchases can be made to the best
advantage, and understands the alaying
In ct provisions, how to make them 60
the tarthest and last the longest; if she
appreciates the Importance of system,
order, tidiness and the quiet, manage
ment OF children and servants, then she
knows how to make little heaven of
home; how to win her children from the
street; how to keep her husband from
the clubhouse, the gaming, table and
the wine cup. Such family will be
trained to social responsibility, to- bust
ness success, and to efficiency and use
fulness in whatever position may be
allotted to them. 1t may be safe to
say, that not one girl in ten, in our
large towns and cities, enters into mar
ried life who has learned toobake loaf
of bread, to purchase a roast, to dust a
painting, to sweep a carpet, or to cut
and fit and make her own dress, How
much the perfect knowledge of these
things bears upon the thrift. the COM
fort and health oftfamilies, may he con-
jectured, but not calculated by figures.
1t would be an Unreasonable advantage
to make by attaching kitchen to every
girls school in the nation, and have
lessons given daily in the preparation Of
all the ordinary articles, of food and
drink for the table, and how to pur-
chase them in the market to the best
advantage, with result of a large say
ing of money, an increase of comfort,
and higher health in every family in the
land.-H0lfs Journal

A Sad Eni.

John Haddy, gentleman and law
student, who had received the best ed
ucation that England affords, died OF
starvation in London the other day.
Unable to make living, and too proud
to beg, he was carriedto the workhouse
where he died of inanition. He was a
man of vast erudition, fine abilities and
temperate habits. What a commentary
upon English charity and philanthro
ply The income of the Inns Court in
London is not less $35O,000 a year,
positively lying idle, and yet the

pei law students topay for admission
of their library. 81:
Poor Mr. Haddy was prevented
from earning a few poor shillings lat
law reporting on account of this arbri
trary enactment. He had no money
wherewith to pay >, "libraly fees" and
he was shut out from following his pro
fession by reason of his inability to
buy law books. What a fearful place
that London is, with all its awful lpov-
erty, and how tempted one becomes
when such sad scenes as these are re-
corded, to cry aloud with all the an
guish of poor Tom Hood:

other in relation to business affairs. The
jewelry merchants said times were flush,
and that he had received a hundred
dollar bill of the new currency. The
dry goods merchant said he, too, had
taken in one of the same denominar
ton. After short parley, describing
the party that had passed the bills the
dry goods merchant felt Convinced that
something was wrong. He took the
bills to the Treasury, and submitted
them to the superintendent who ex-
amined and pronounced them genuine
But here l must mention the fact
that. on the morning after the printing
of these bonds, the paper on which they
were printed was missed by the Super
intendent, and a notice appeared in the
papers stating that this material was
missing, but there seemed to be no
suspicion that money had been issued.
The fact that Elan had so I'm
tremendously left his employment,
taken in connection with developing
circumstances, caused the authorities to
be on the alert. Detectives were EN-
ployed to ferret out this matter, and if
possible to bring the guilty parties TO
punishment After using all the facts
communicated. them, in furthering their
object, they decided to ma Ike bolder
move, and arrested the so-called "Na-
peleon." He appeared to be overcome
with treInor as the detectives and police
approached him. Having many facts Of
his guilt in their possession, they at
once accused him of the crime.
Aghast and trembling, he made full
confession, eliminating his partner, and
giving all the facts in detail. He was
then incarcerated, and dispatch sent to
Lynchburg for the arrest Of Elan, WHO
was found in all the enjoyment that
wealth could bestow., After the arrest
of Elan and his fair companion, they
were hurriedly taken to Richmond, but
he alone was imprisoned. No prose-
cution was brought against the two
young ladies, as all seemed satisfied in
getting hold of the principals.
Of the vast amount of bonds they
printed, but small sam fell into the
hands of the authorities. Only about
$50 were found on the persons Of Elan
and the young lady who, accompanied
him. Napoleon" suspected before his
arrest, that he was; spotted" as one Of
the bond printers, and either secreted
or destroyed his portion of the i'm
mense issue, as it was never recovered.
After, a short imprisonment, the re
latives and friends of Elan effected
plan for his escape By means un
known to the public he disappeared
from the prison, made his escape north
ward, and, for years afterward no
tidings of his whereabouts were known.
But poor Napoleon after brief trial
was condemned and suffered the pehalty
of Confederate rule-s punishment
ending on the gallows.

THE DEAcoN's REToRT,

In my minds eye can see Uncle
Elliott's bald and polished pate as / saw
in the years agone, when. O a,Sunday,
It used to bob up and down, and sway
70 and fro, in the pew before me-
Genial, good-souled man! He was Fat
deacon in those days! We elected him
deacon after .Jabez Bennett died 1t
| came hard for us to drop the long-used
'Uncle and call him deacon Elliott
out we accomplished the feat in time,
and the dignified appellative came and
length to sound quite natural home
like. Parson Kimball, when he knew
that Elliott had been elected as deacon,
simply expressed the hope that the
worthy and respected brother, thus
elevated might become true and re.
liable spiritual guide in the congrega
ton. "And to the end,' the Parson
added, she, must, above all things,
learn to keep awake during religious
services% -. .,.,... ~.,.,.,.,
How well, remember THAT time. It
was on a Sabbath afternoon of August,
warm and sultry. Ben Greeley and
sat together directly behind the Deacon.
Parson Kimballs subject was regenera-
ton; and he considered it under the
usual number Of heads. To him the
subject was one of the deepest import,
and Of vital consequence, and he desir-
ed his flock should enter into the spirit
with him. He preached vigorously,
albeit his propositions were obtuse and
his reasoning exceedingly metaphysical.
1t very soon became evident. that the
good Deacon was not particularly in
terested. He began to nod and doze,
and ere long his cleaning pate swayed
with that measured cadence which
characteiizes the nodding of the
habitual church sleeper. Parson Kim
ball saw, and was indignant. He raised
his voice, and talked directly at the
slumbering offender. He pitched still
higher note and smote his fist upon the
pulpit. And still the Deacon nodded:
"Wretched mortal, slumbering upon
the brink Of dark despair, aMakel' i'm
provised the Parson. But to no avail
The Deacon's auditory nerves were not
started by notes so familiar, At length
grown desperate, the Parson resolved
upon direct and bold attack. The oc-
easion demanded it. He would ,ad-
minister areproof which should last for
all time, and which should be of healthy
effect upon all doing parishioners.
Deacon Elliott ! Deacon. Elliott !"
he cried, shifting the open Bible, as he,
spoke-the tone and the gesture start,
ling the assembly like bursting bomb
tit is tedious, thankless task to
preach to sleepy congregation" ,,,rt
The Deacons bald pate was elevated
instanter, and under the impulse of
shocked and, offended spirit, without
taking counsel othis reason, he shouted
back :.
':Parson Kimball! Parson Kimball
if you want to try something more
tedious and thankless, just come here
and liston to sleepy sermon!'' III,
The reader must imagine the rest /

Experiments having demonstrated
that COWS living on very scanty diet still
secreted milk containing butter, it be-
came evident that the butter must have
been prepared from the fatty tissues of
the animal. This led to series of ex-
periments on splitting up animal fats,
which have resulted in the preparation
Of an artificial butter from suet. The
suet is first finely divided by circular
saws in a cylinder. 1t is then treated
with water, carbonate of potsssa, and
finely divided fresh sleeps stomachs at
a temperature of 45C. The pepsin and
heat separate the fat, which floats on
the surface, whence it is decanted, and
when cool placed in hydraulic press,
which separates the stearine from the
semi-iuid oleomargarine, which is EN-
ployed as follows in the preparation Of
the butter: 50 kilo.s of. the, fat 25 liters
of milk and 20 liters of water are placed
in churn; to this 100 grammes Of the

The defeat of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish Uni
versity bill in the English House of Com-

of a single conservative member. Forty
seven liberals, of whom thirty were Ilish-
men, voted against it. Fifteen Irish mem
bers voted for it. Seventeen members,
including Isaac Butt, member for Limerick,
were absent. Forty members participated
in the debate. John Bright, Jacob Bright,
his brother, and the Marquis of Lorne sup
ported the Government. After the an
nouncement of the result, Gladstone arose
and said: "The vote just given is certainly
of a grave character. AS the House never
wishes to continue it's deliberations when
the existence of the Government is in doubt,
I move an adjournment until Thursday"
The motion was carried. At noon on the
18th, Mr.. Gladstone waited upon the Queen
and rendered his resignation. A dispatch
