privation have not availed to diminish the
artlor of their commanders. Their his
tory is full of exploits whose daring fills
us with wonder. Amid fields of eternal
ice and snow, where the silence is SO Op-
pressive that imagination shrinks from
realizing it, these brave adventures have
never forgotten the ties that bound them
to the green earth of home The story of
Franklin's sufferings is an epic written
upon the SHOWS that closed over him, and
in the narrative of Kane every page is
alive with patience and heroism rarely
surpassed in the annals of fame. The
advantages accruing from these sacrifices
are not within the scope of the popular
mind A distinguished naturalist has
truly said: "There is no such thing as
science for the million' So in our real
istic age we are prone to question the
utility of many noble endeavor in the
direction of scientific investigation-ardu-
Gus and prolonged labors that have ended
only in practical good to mankind. The
greatest philosopher of modern times
perhaps the profoundest the world has
seen-has well remarked that if the human
mind thirsts for knowledge then knowl-

obey our highest duty in satisfying that

The SCHOOLGIRLS Meals.

The physical education of school girls
is now receiving SO much attention that it
seems in place to ask the attention of
mothers to the bad habits in eating into
which girl who attends daily school is
very apt to be driven. A girl who is
growing, who studies hard, and who has
all sorts of demands made upon her time,
brain and health, certainly needs sound
sleep and plenty of nourishing food The
sleep she may get, for nature is likely TO
have some influence in this connections
but the majority of these girls get as little
comfort from their meals as is possible
They are not apt to rise early unless it is
to gain time for study or practice, and
they hurry through their breakfasts, nerv-
Gus for fear they will be late, and perhaps
anxious about their lessons. Before tie
rest OF the family has come to the second
cup of coffee the girls have finished their
meal and probably are of to school VI" -
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1875-07-03

They carry with them lunch that is
rarely tempting, but still more seldom
nourishing, and this scanty, illdigested
breakfast, supplemented by the luncheon
of bread and cake, must support them
through all the morning hours of constant
work. If the family has dincd in the
middle of the day the girls dinner has
been saved in the oven, and is put down
before her on a corner of the dining
table, where it looks anything but invit-
ing. She is probably tired or excited-for
the average schoolgirl alternates between
these cOnditiOns-and she is not tempted to
do more than hungrily satisfy her appe-
tite or YEARLY turn from the half-dried
meal. If the dinner hour comes later in
the day she possibly studies her next days
lesson while waiting for her meal and
finds it hard to fix her mind upon her
book. If dinner were ready she fancies
the lessons would not seem SO complex,
and, as fasting rarely clears the mind of
any one less sanity than a monk, she is
right. After dinner, however, matters are
not much mended, for then she finds her
self growing sleepy, and the bed is the OBJ
Get of desire. That she is undergoing
slow process of starvation does not occur
to the mother, who watches her with anx-
iety, and who prohibits parties and long
walks and late hours. The doctor orders
iron to give tone and appetite when he
had better order time and tempting, nOur-
ishing food.
The boarding school girl, in spite of the
grumbling about the table, is often better
off in this respect than the daughter at
home, for eating, at school, is regarded as
one of the duties of the day, and it is at
tended to with some degree of order and |
leisure. We commend this subject to |
mothers for attention, and it might be |
suggested to doctors who are asked to help |
the daughter to better health that they |
sometimes should prescribe plenty of |
good food and plenty of time for eating |
and digesting it.-Scribner's Monthly.

That Blazing Chimney.

AT quite late hour last night a young
man walked into Fourth street restau-
rant and asked for the proprietor. The
clerk announced his ability to transact all
matters not of a personal nature.
"Oh, it's not at all personal" said the
visitor. It's only about your chimney.
There are big sparks flying out of it, and
l think it afire''
The clerk thanked his informant.
But" said he, 1T makes no difference.
The chimney is ire-proOf; had it fixed
only this afternoon.
The young man left, and the clerk was
about TO advise the cook to put the damper
on his furnace, when the door opened and
three young men walked in in Indian file.
" DO you know" said the leader, "your
chimney is afire."
Yes" said the second, land the
sparks are flying all over the other houses.''
And there is a firstrate show to have
big fire in couple of minutes if you
don't look OUT said the third.
"Gentlemen, said the clerk loftily,
Knight l ask if you own any property
round here?'
They didn't, of course.
"Then," said the clerk, beginning TO
lose his temper, "you'd oblige me by
taking a walk
They took the hint, and the clerk turned

-" But just then there was a violent
wrenching at the door and an excited old
gentleman flew into the restaurant as if
shot out of a mortar. "Where's the
proprietor:" he gasped.
"He's in bed.

Well, sir, you do it very badly. Your

You'd better say good -night,'' roarcd
the clerk, and the excited property holder
retired in advance of a broom handle.
During the next five minutes four old
ladies, six nervous gentlemen of different
ages and two negroes interviewed the
clerk. Then there was momentary
pause and the unhappy man wiped the

cOatless, with Il stubby mustache and
close-cropped hair, entered, followed by a

speak.

They smashed each other and the furni-
ture and crockery for fifteen minutes, and
then retired. Half an hour later the
clerk, with torn shirt, disheveled hair and
swollen eyes, was seen FASTING bill of

was inscribed:

Cur Bcys and girls.
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD MORNING.

A FAIR little girl sat under tree,
Sewing as long as her eyes could see:
Then smoothed her wosk and folded it
right,
And said: Dear work, goodnight! good
nighti'
Such a number of rocks came over her head,
Crying "Caw, caw!" ON their way to bed,
She said, as she watched their curious flight:
Little black things, goodnight. good
nightr'
The horses ncighed and the oxen lowed;
The sleeps "bleat, bleat" came over the
road;
All seeming to say, with quiet delight:
" Good little girl, goodnight, good-nightn'
She did not say to the sun: " Goodnight"
Though she saw him there, like bali of
light;
For she knew he had Gods own time to keep
All over the world, and never could sleep.
The tall pink foxglove bowed his head
The violets courtcsicd and went to bed;
And good little Lucy tied up her hair
And said on her knees her fayoritc prayer.
And while on her pillow she softly lay,
She knew nothing more till again it was day
And all things said to the beautiful sun:
ood-mOrning! good morning! our work is
begun"

INDUSTRIAL.

THE Philadelphia Ledger says that " the
grain trade at Philadelphia has recently
received an impetus, freighting being ac-
tive and the grain exports to Europe 80
per cent. larger than at this time last
year,
THE constitutionality of the Massachu-
sets Ten Hour law is TO be tested. One of
the Lowell manufacturing companies was
recently fined for employing u woman
more than sixty hours in one week; the
claim of the defense that, the woman be
ing over twcnty-On years of age, the COM
pany had a right, under special contract,
to employ her more than sixty hours in Il
week, having been overrulcd. The case
will so to the Supreme Court.
A VERY adhesive cement, and one par
ticularly useful for fastening the brass
mOuntlngs on glass lamps, as it is unaf
fected by petroleum, may be prepared by
boiling three parts of resin with one part
of caustic soda and five parts of water,
thus making kind of soap, which is
mixed with one-lIalf its weight of plaster
of Paris. Zinc white, white lead or pre-
cipitated chalk may be used instead of the
plaster, but when they are used the ce-
ment will be longer in hardening.
In South Carolina the financial and in
dustrial situation is said to be better than
at any time since the war, and the same is
also true of Mississippi. In the latter
State there is more land under cultivation,
and better worked at that, than ever be-
fore. An increase of from 4 to 6 and even
10 per cent. in cotton over the average of
the past several years is anticipated in the
cotton product, while there will be much
larger corn crops also. General thrift is
looked for when the crops are ready for
the market.
IT is stated in Les Mondes that one Ofthe
wealthiest English velvet manufacturers,
MIR. Listar, worked his way to success by
years of patient labor in search of a way
to utilize silk rags. He began by buying
up all such waste at less than cent
pound, and up to the year 1864 he had ex
pended the immense sum of over 81 ,30O,-
900 in fruitless efforts to find process.
Nothing daunted, however, he continued
his experiments, and within the past ten
years has discovered a method of convert |
ing such refuse into velvet of the finest
quality.

How Charles O'COnOr Dresses.

ANOTHER well-known figure in New
York, who stands his years well, is
Charles O'Conor. The great lawyer is
about seventy, but would pass for less. He
is one of those thin, why men who stand
an immense deal of wear and tear without
showing it. And he is one of those great
men, speaking entirely in an intellectual
greatness under a rather commonplace eX-
terror. If Mr.. O'Conor ever took an in
terest i'm dress it must have been long
time ago. The clothing he wears now is
good enough for service, no doubt, but 1t
certainly is not encouraging TO the tailors.
An average dry goods clerk would consid-
cr himself very shabby indeed if he didn't
go behind the counter i'm better suit than
Mr.. O'COnor carries down Broadway in
one of his daily walks TO his office. The
most Objectionable thing about the emf
nent advocates raiment is his hat 1t is
probably the worst hat exhibited on a
good head on Broadway. There is II ira
dition among the lawyers that Mr.. O'Con-
Or's hat was presented to him the day of
his admission to the bar, and that he has
been wearing it and sitting on it alternately
ever since. The story is rather tough, but the
hat does seem to bear it out. Summer and
winter, there il is, set half way back on
his head, as though it had shrunk with
age and wouldn't come down, and show
ing fresh touch of shabbiness every
season. And the curious thing is that
nothing will induce the owner to change
il. He is as Indifferent to public opinion
on subject of this sort as was Horace
Greeley, whose outfit generally grew worse
the more he was told to make it better.
He is a great walker, without making any
time about it, and steps along Broadway
more actively than many of the young
7 ic L.
ly prominent man in New York as rarely
seen in society or public assemblages as
Mr.. O'Conor. He has a singular antip--
athy to what is called popularity, and
tries to avoid all ways leading to it. Yet
when he does thaw out he is a very pleas
ant companion, with social qualities that
are not by any means to be despised. He
is also very generous with his money, and
has given more in charity than some OF
our very rich men whose benevolence is
duly advertised in the newspapers.-N.
