An Incident i'm The Life O1
Madame MacMahOn.

The following incident in the life OF
Madame MacMahon is related:
In the middle OF the winter Of 1888 q
fire broke out in the female seminary at
Limoges, France, snd spread with such
rapidlty that it was feared that all the in
mates would perish. Suddenly there
was a cry that one little girl had been LETT
in her room. AS the excited spectators
were beginning to pray for the unfoltu-
child, q tai girl, with disheveled blonde
hair and flowing night gowr, cut through
the crowd, and, with a shrek Of ''I' II
save her!' that rose above the sound OF
cracking timbers and falling masonry,
dashed into the doorway. A loud hur-
rah that was prolonged to the echo only
to be repeated again attracted the atten-
ton of the devotces. aud the pale-faced
girl was seen skipping through the flames
With the terrified child. A few days after
King Louis Philippe sent the rerolne
a gold medal for her bravery, and cap
tain in the French army, who had wit
messed the strl's pluck, begged an intro
The captain is now President
of France and the brave girl Madame

Wonders Of the Microscope.
From the Detroit Free Press.

The other day Detroit father purchased
q microscope for his son, boy of ten
patted the lad on the shoulder, and sale
to him:
my son. take this microscope, and g
out and study the beauties of nature"
The boy left all other amusements fol
that, and he took such great interest ant
improved SO rapidly, that at the tea table
TO which several visitors sat down with III.
family, he felt that he must make som,
remarks. Turning to one of the ladies
he inquired:
ibid you ever look at cheese through ,
microscope?'
Il don't think I ever did," she pleasant
ly REPLIED.
"Well, you just ought to sec the things
crawl
'.John! JohD!'' exclaimed the father
shaking his head at the boy across the
table,
John subdued for a minute or two, and
when his mother passed the cheese around
everybody said, .Thank you, no." Pretty
soon the young student, desiring to moli
fy his father, asked:
Father, did you ever look at toad
through mlcroscopes''
l will talk with you after supper, re
piled the parent, scowling at the boy.
John was rather disappointed at his fail
ure to arouse enthusiasm, and just as The
strawberries were being passed around, he
remarked:
"We|l, you just ought to ,ook at straw
berry once through the microscope! They
look just like warts, they do, and yot
think you see bugs running=o
"Jawn!" said his mother.
"Boy!" warned his father.
"WeIl, they look wors'n flies heads =
protested the boy, who imagined that they
doubted his veracity, for flies"
"Boy-!" said the father, making {
motion for John to leave the table.
John left, and as soon as it was convent
ent for him to do SO. the father escorted
the lad to the wash room IN the basement
bounced him around, and SAID:
my son, gimme that microscope, and
you take the axe aud go out and study tht
beauties of that woodpilel''

Our Daughters Again.

The daughters of rich men certainl.
have right to all the elegance and leisur'
which they can afford so pay for. But
in America, the tenure Of wealth lie so un
certain, that the heiress of'to-day may be
the stipendiary Of TO- o-morrow. If she can
not produce, but must remain consumer
only, then she is guilty of , breach nj
under whose conditions we all come Al
birth, and whose violation is dishonora
BILE. Besides, it is the daughters OF rich
men who must encourage the belief that
that the capacity to earn is as natural and
dlgniied function of women as cf men.
Certainly it is not the province of girls
schools to furnish industria! training; but
it is their reproach that they attempt to
deyelop hardly more than one set of facul-
ties, and fail in that attempt.
Instructors should insist less upon ac-
Qui sition than upon the power Of arquir-
ing. It is not half so necessary to learn
books, as to learn how to learn them. If
the faculty of observation, the powers OF
analysis, comparison, deduction, the quail
lties of perseverance and taoroughness, be
carefully developed, it is of little conse-
quence whether many or few text books
have been learned ty rote, or omitted en-
tlrely. A girl trained to 4hink quickly,
exactly and broadly, can set her excellent
mental machinery at work to many diff
erent ends differently. If housekeeping
be her destiny, the order, harmony, econ
omy of her home will testify to the value
of her education If she must write. or
teach, or trade, or carry on any kind Of
business. or devote herself to manual
labor, still the same educated faculties
stand ready to take up the work and do
it easily and creditably. This culture,
then. or tllling of the soil, this education
or drawing out Of all the powers, and not
accomplishments, which mean simply the
filing in, are the right Of the taught. and
the duty of the teacher.-[Harper's Bazaar.

A Good Guardian.

in Boston q man in the grocery business
there was appointed guardian of three Or
phan girls, whose father had left for their
support q tenement house in one of the
corners of the courts leading out of Pearl
street. When he got control of the prop
erty the house was uninsured, its value
small and income trifling. He had it in
sured, and made Improvements that in
creased the income. Som the fire came
and consumed it with other buildings in
the vicinity. He got the insurance money
after little delay, invested the
money where it rapidly increased, and the
land being wanted for business purposes,
he sold it for two or three dollars more
foot than other land brought alongside of
it. The proceeds Of this sale he also in
vested, and when . little while ago he
made settlement with the Probate Court,
it was found that the value of the legacy
left to the children, now of age, had more
than quadrupled. The Judge compli.
mented him for his good management and
SAID he richly earned the percentage which
the law allows in such cases. The gentle
man thanked the Court, but said he work
ed for greater reward than any human
law could allow, and declined TO accept
any compensation. The young ladies, in
appreciation Of the generous conduct of
their guardian, have presented him with a
valuable watch. chain and lock-seal

Indian Troubles In Otter Tail
County.
From the N. Y. Sun, Dee. 24.7

The Perham News of the 25th pub
fishes letter signed by VIM. T. Barnes
and W. S. Heathco:e of Deer Greek,
Otter Tail county, complaining that .
band of Is or 80 Indians are encamped
in that vicinity, and that since the
Sanders-Bronson affair uneasiness is
felt at having them around, especially
when under the influence Of liquor,
which is the case for great portion of
the time. For these reasons the local
officers are called on to remove the In
dams to their reservation, failing which
application will be made to Gov. Davis
for such assistance.
Commenting on the condition of az
fairs here stated, the Ne,0s says the
tone of the letter is an indication of the
prevailing sentiment Of the people of
chat section. 1t further says that when
the Indians are sober they do no special
damage, but when under the influence
of liquor-and they seem to have no
trouble in getting any amount of it
they are dangerous, especially in re-
gions where the settlers are scarce
For these reasons it calls for the strict
enforcement of the law requiring In.
dams to remain on their agencies.
