The physical training of Girls.

IT is material error in the educa-
ton Of girls to condemn them from
the cradle to sedentary life, yelled or
otherwise defended from every CLEAN
of the glorious sunshine, and thus aid
ing directly, not only in the quickening
of hereditary tendencies to disease, but
in the acquisition of highly nervous
temperament, and exposing them in
after years, prey to dispeptlc ana
hysterical disorders most distressing to
themselves and often exceedingly dis
agreeable to friends and others in
whose society they may be thrown.
in their outdoor gambols as boys, for
without fresh mir and indulgence in
bodily sports, respiration and digestion
cannot be fully performed. TO
fettcr the muscular activity of chill
dren, under the pretense of improv-
ing their minds and manners, is not
only in direct opposition to nature, but
an insult to common sense. All forced
development is contrary to the laws of
nature, and must end in abortion. Go
into the common schools and there
witness the effect of Systematically
lettering the muscular motions and
forcing the brains of children. See the
closely packed iron chairs in the i'm
perfectly ventilated rooms; observe the
drill of the task and posture masters;
look at the pale-iaced, poor, little,
puny creatures-some Of them already
stopped and deformed-of eight, ten,
twelve, or fourteen years of age
who are severally pointed out
by the teachers as the smartest
children of the school. and hence are
given prominence at every public eX-
animation; observe the delighted pa
rents ON such occasions, and how sedu-
lousy disposed they are to furnish
every means to hasten the growth of
the bud of promising genius at the
expense or total neglect of the physical
powers. Such training may be the
best way to produce enervated puppets,
or short-lived prodigies of learning,
but, very surely, never to form healthy,
pure-minded, well-informed and ac-
complished wives and mothers, fitted
for life of usefulness, and to bless the
household.

is reported. It is quite thickly settled
by miners. One large block of houses
on the hill, short distance from the
run, known as the Long Row." was
struck by lightning with terrible effect.
The buildings, literally split in two by
the stroke, fell over into the raging tor
rent below. Twenty-seven persons are
reported missing from this run alone,
and are doubtless lost. Other persons
from the same neighborhood are also
missing, but it is impossible now to
give the full particulars. Just below
here large trestle work crosses the
stream, and the timbers and debris
from further up here found temporary
lodgment, damming the waters to a
height of twenty feet. In an instant it
gaveway, and the immense body of water
rushed with an irresistible force on it's
pathway of destruction. Up the other
branch of Saw Mill run, known as the
Big Run, the loss is also severe. Here
were drowned Thomas Smith, his wife
and three children-a whole family
swept away in moment.
One singular feature of the flood has
not been alluded to, so far as we are
able to ascertain. Only one person who
escaped from the food was injured
The dead all bore marks of bruises and
mangling; but, Notwithstanding the
topping of houses and the avalanches
of timber and debris, those who escaped
from the wreck came out unhurt.

Down Mount Washington.

A correspondent, writing on White
mountain themes, remarks ga visit
to Mount Washington would be de.
prived of half its charms should we fail
to descend the rocky sides by the Glen
House carriage road, which enables us
to comfortably and easily visit that
charming resort, so costly nestled at the
very foot of this grand old giant Ele-
CANT mountain carriages, with superb
teams, await us at the summit, ready to
convey us over one of the most wonder
full triumphs of engineering skill to be
found on this continent. Taking oul
seats behind six snow-white horses, we
are rapidly whirled along the very edge
of Tuckerman's ravine, the sides OF
which for hundreds of feet below us are
covered with huge piles of snow and ice
that glisten In the bright sunshine like
masses of pure white silver, from which
stream, apparently of the same
precious metal, seems to leap down
rugged, rocky slopes and steep preci-
pices until lost in the shadows beneath
now, passing by Willey's seat on the
very brink of the great gulf, which is
thousands of feet in depth, and sepa-
rates us from Mounts Jefferson, Adams,
and Madison, upon whose long and
graceful slopes We can easily discern
immense bodies of snow lying white in
the heat of the July sun, we overlook
the Glen itself, with its great stables
and numerous outbuildlngs, situated il
the heart of Pinkham's Notch and here
we can trace for thousands of feet be-
low us the tortuous windings of the
wagon road down the bare sides of the
mountain, until, after doubling Cape
Horn and scali1 the prodigious side;
of the Gulf of Mexico, it finally disap
pears below the Halfway House, ant
is lost in the magnificent forest tha
skirts the base of the mountain. The
descent is easily accomplished in al
hour and half, and we dismount from
the carriage upon the spacious piazzs
of the Glen House. Here the sigh
that greets the eye as we stand upon the
broad veranda, nearly 800 feet abov,
the level of the sea, is indeed grand

overtops the entire range. In the in
mediate vicinity are to be found man,
objects of interest, among which may b
mentioned the Emerald Pool,

and 'Glen Ellis Falls, the two latte
being by far the most beautiful to b

derneath, you can next year venture to
SOW onion seed. They are the best crop
to raise ON sucl ground, at least find
they pay che best. Cabbage is the next
best, cucumbers are the next, but they
are apt to grow crooked if the ground
is not kept dry enough. Beets, carrots
and parsnips 1 have tried, but they will
not grow to any length, owing to the
continued moisture below. 1 am now
setting out large piece with the colos-
sal asparagus, as 1 find it takes kindly
to the soil. Have tried potatoes, but
if the season is too wet the potatoes will
set on the wines above ground, and the
crop will be failure. Fodder corn l
raise in large quantities, and with but
little labor.
1T requires deep drainage the water
must be got of, or else your labor will
be lost. 1t also requires good judg-
ment, common sense, labor and indus
try to keep it so. Your bitches must be
kept well, and at least once year
cleaned out. The top of the water in
your bitches should always be two feet
from the top of the ground and if the
sell is deep you can raise crops for
many years with but little manure or
other fertilizers"

THE FIRST STEAM vEssEL.-C. T.
Butler, of Brooklyn, N. Y, states to a
New Haven paper that the first vessel
driven by steam was started on the
Guadalquiver in 1893, while Columbus
was prowling tine shores of the sup
posed Indies. Mr.. Butler says that he
has seen the original plans on parch-
ment of the boat and engine by Don
Blusco, the inventor, and that the en-
CINE is far more simple, and in its action
more direct, than any he has ever seen
In this country. King Ferdinand had
the vessel and machinery broken up as
the work of the devil.

THE KING,sPICTURE:

There is in every human being, however ignoble
ONE hint Of perfection; some one place where Gas
We may fancy the vail is thin which hides the
ivinity behind it, Co7,tucian Classics.
The king from the council chamber
Came weary and sore of heart;
He called for Hiff the painter,
And spake to him thus apart:
al am sickened of faces ignoble,
Hypocrites, towards and knayes
shall shrink to their shrunken measure,
Chief slaves in realm of slayesI
"Paint me true mans picture.
Gracious and wise and good:
lowered with the strength of heroes,
And the beauty of womanhood
II shall hang in my Utmost chamber,
That. thither when / retire.
1t may fill my soul with its grandeur,
And warm it with sacred fire."
So the artist painted the picture,
And it hung in the palace hal;
Never thing so goodly
Had garnished the stately wall,
The king, with head uncovered,
Gazed on it with rapt delight,
Till ii suddenly wore strange meaning,
And baffied his questioning sight.
For the form was his Simplest courtier's
Perfect in every limb;
But the bearing was that of the henchmau
Who filed the fagons for him;
The brow was priests who pondered
His parchments early and late:
The eye a wandering minstrel's
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips, half sad and half mirthful,
With fitting, tremulous grace,
We're the very lips Of woman
He had kissed in the market-place;
But the smile which her curves TRANSPORTED
AS a with it's simmer of dew
Was the smile of the wife who loved him,
Queen Ethelyn, good and true.
Then, "Learn, King" said the artist,
"This truth that the picture tells
How in every form of the human,
Some hint of the Highest dwells;
How, scanning each living temple
For the place where the vail is thin,
We may gather, by beautiful glimpses,
The form of the God within"

Few people appreciate the large gain
to the Government which results In the
progress of years from the destruction
of the representatives of its indebted
ness. The official report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury shows that the
outstanding obligations of the United
States, overdue and recalled but rot
presented for payment, amount to-day
to nearly $4,000, 900. This sum in
cludes about $500, 900 of missing notes
and bonds issued before the war, which
will never be presented; nearly 81, 000,-
600 of Understanding notes issued
since the war, of which a very small
proportion will ever be presented |;
SIC, 1000, 900 of the early fractional cur
rency, which has disappeared forever !;
and $4,000 of greenbacks issued
prior to 1869, the rest of which Issue
has all been exchanged for new in the
past five years. OF course many mill
ions of the last sum are undoubtedly
still held as bank reserves, etc., in the
original packages, and will ultimately
make their appearance, but, with ample
allowance for this Offset, it is clear that
the national treasury has realized tens
of millions from the perishable nature
of its bonds and currency.-Detroit

FoRGERIEs ON THE HOUSE OF Barring
BRoTHERs.-A continental banker, In q
letter to the London Times, gives an
account of q new confederacy of forgers
who are already Known to have sue
ceeded in obtaining several thousand
pounds from bankers on the continent.
The operations of the forgers appear to
have been conducted by a gang travel
ing separately, and working by means
of very perfect limitations of letters Of
credit of Barring Brothers & Co., of Lon
don. The forged documents were pre-
scented almost simultaneously in several
cities and towns on the Rhine and In
the south of France. The watermarks
have been SO well initiated that many
of the most experienced cashiers who
cashed the forged documents believe
that the paper, at all events, on which
the forgeries were drawn must have
been genuine.

A Literal Stick.in.tle.Mud.

An old man named William Craig
dropped dead in the doorway of a
neighbours house near Madisonville,
KY, recently, who was singular char
acter. For nearly twelve years he has
refused to live in house, and for a
number of years he made his home in a
large hollow tree, doing bis own cook
ing and washing. This tree was finally
blown or burned down. and he dug a
hole in the ground, where he lived up
to the day of his death. During the
war he was robbed of some four or five
hundred dollars, the accumulation OF
toll and industry, and this loss probably
unbalanced his mind, and caused him to
lead this singular, hermit-like life. Al
the time of his death he was believed to
be the possesor of some money, but il
is thought that he has buried it where
it will never be found. He appears te
have lived a quiet, peaceable, blameless
life, shut out from the rude world IL
undisturbed seclusion and solitude.
