Female Examinations in Harvard.

Harvard has adopted the plan of
examining women, which Cambridge
has made so popular in England. The
first trial will be in June, 1874 The
examinations will be held not only at
Boston, but in any and every city
where a reasonable number of candi-
dates present themselves, and were an
association of women is ready to do
the necessary local work. Harvard will
supply examiners without charge, and
will forward lists of books to be
studied, and specimen question papers,
so that the scope of the examinations
may be clearly understood. There will
be preliminary and a general exami-
nation, the former open to all women
over II years of age, the latter open TO
all over 10. The experiment deserves
the fullest success. The certificates
given the successful students will be
come here, as in England, valuable,
not only as a recognition of merit by
some higher authority than the owner
OF boarding school, but as helps to
employment.

Rapid Growth of Pigs.

Mr.. Martin Carroll, of gainesville,
O., wishing to ascertain if very young
pigs of the Berkshire breed could be
readily fattened, took a couple of lit
tiers from the sows at eight weeks old,
and, after weighing, they were shut up
and fed meal, corn, Stops and water, as
much as they could take, and no more
At the end of sixteen days they bad
gained on the average thirty four
pounds each-ovcr two pounds per
day. AS they were to be sold for
breeders, he found they were fattening
too rapidly, and had to turn them out
INTO clover pasture to shift for them
selves.

PAKEPA ROSA.
Her intellectual and Domestic Dual

Her intellectual and Domestic Quail
From a sketch Of the distinguished
singer Parepa, in the n. Y Post, we
extract the following, which will be of
interest to her many admirers in this
country:
Returning 10 England, Madame
Rosa's health failed, and the physicians
advised southern climate. SO she
went to Cairo, where she sang in the
Viceroy's theatre. From Egypt Mad
anne Rosa-who was charming and
fluent correspondent in five languages
wrote some delightful letters to
friends in America and England. With
the eye of an intelligent woman she
noted the curious phases of oriental
society, inquiring into the woman
question" and evidently enjoyed
greatly her soiourn in the land of the
Pharaohs. Returning to London,
she settled III her pleasant home
IN st. Johns Wood, while her bus
band managed an opera troupe
III the provinces. She wanted to sing
on the stage, but her health forbade.
a few weeks ago she gave birth to
still-born child. 1t was the second
time she had been thus afflicted, Her
yearning for domestic joys, it seemed,
was never to be gratiied, and the holy
offices of maternity were denied to one
who would have made devoted moth
er. Her grief at the loss of her first
child seriously undermined her health,
and a repetition Of her affection has
probably proved too much for even
the strong, vigorous, genial and sun
ny hearted woman whom we all re-
member Parepa- Rosa to have been.
To some artists it is given to outlive
their powers, and TO pail upon world
which once hung delighted on their
every note. To others it is given to
pass away III the plenltude of genius
and power. Among these last is Pa
repa. Her matchless voice had never
known the touch OF decay, and it viii
live IN our memories as it was when it
was sllenced forever, in the brightest
of its richest glory.

Hteerfs of Fowls.

The recent publication of a new edit
tion of Tegetmeier's Poultry Book, has
called out lengthy review of the book
by the London Saturday Review, from
which we condeuse the following as
Tegetmeier's opinion of the different
breeds now principally kept in Eng
land:
Two data are Given from which to
estimate the value of Il fowl for the
table or market. "A table fowl should
be all breast, with short limbs and
small bones Also, that fowls are in
perfection for the table only before
they have attained maturity. There
fore a cross of the Malay, with its long.
snaky neck, and plump, high favored
breast, with the short-leggcd Dorking,
Will produce an extraordinary table
fowl. He objects to the Span
ish on account of their dark
legs, so Objectionable in the
market. The Games have the draw
back of yellow skin, though the flesh
is well favored. The Polish and Ham
burgh, though excellent i'll flavor, are
small in size and are delicate to rear.
The Cochin develops the leg at the eX-
pense of the breast, but, although a
little coarse, is good table fowl for
home use, but not for shipping. Mated
with the large French breeds. the cross
is white-skinned, of good size, and at
taius maturity rapidly. The Brahma

fowls; with full, broad, prominent
breast; a back short and broad be.

hips; a curved, slender neck, and

Projections Against the Honey Moth.

bee raiser in New England is said
to have patented an invention for the
protection of bees from the attacks of
the honey moth, which enters the hives
at night and rifles the stores The
idea arose out of his familiarity with
the daily routine not of bees only, but
of hens. Hens, he observed, retire to
rest early bees seek repose earlier
still no sooner ale they sunk in slun-
Der than the moth steals into their
abode and devours the produce of their
toll. He has now built a stand of hives
with hen house above it. The bees
first betake themselves to their dwell
ing and settle themselves for the night
The hens then come home to roost on
their perch, and, as they take their
place upon it, their weight sets some
simple mechanism TO work, which at
once shuts down the doors of all the
hives. When the day dawns, however,
the hens leave their roost, and the re
moval of their weight from the perch
raises the hive doors and gives egress to
the bees IN time for their mornings

FooD FOR INvALIDs.-MisS Daisy
Eyebright, in the Country Gentleman,
expatiates so admirably on the topic of
food for invalids that we are sure our
readers, and the fairest portion of them
at least, will be pleased to see the en-
tire article reproduced. This is what
Miss Daisy says:
There is no more desirable accom-
plishment for women than to know how
to make invalids comfortable, and to
prepare tempting dishes for them, for
food cooked by the hand Of a wife,
mother or sister, possesses sweeter
relish than the mere component parts
can give; and has frequently II restora-
tive power which money cannot supply.
| therefore propose to give varlons reel
pes which will enable readers to pre-
pare relishing and toothsome dishes
| for those who are i'll, and to vary the
| feed as selection or symptoms may
render eXpedIent.
Farinaceous food, jellies and meat
broths, are the most nutritious pre-
partitions for invalids; and such food
as the patient can take without pro
ducing distress and pain in the digest
i've organs is the kind which will give
the most strength to the system.
