For the Children.


DEAR CHrfpRES; A few evenings ago
when Minnie aud we're in the kitchen to-
gsther, volunteered to tell her something
"nice," and il interested her so much l
thought you Vermont children might like TO
hear it.
Queer, isn't 1T how many people there
are in different states aud various countries
oil over the world doing the same kinds Of
work and thinking the same thoughts. This
is one reason why ! thought you would like
what my little pupil does. Children every
where are so much alike in their tastes.
(What kind of "tastes" do mean p
"Now, Minnie" said [, "do you know
where the Atlantic ocean is"
81 guess it is off So" pointing to the right
"from N orth America" she answered.
ayes, it is east of North America or to the
right hand on common maps. And in this
great ocean are many currents or streams
that flow in the same direction. Where is
the gulf of Mexico. 2"
II don't know" said Minnie.
(She is too young TO study much.l
81 will tell you where it is and you may
find it on the map when we go into the sit
ting-room. 1t is east of Mexico, and south
Of the United States. Starting from it is a
stream of deep blue water quite different 10
color from the surrounding sea, and very
warm. This current spreads out in the
ocean to bre adth of $50 miles, and follows
the coast of North America to Newlound-
land then it meets the Arctic current from
the north (ugh j and is divided, one branch
flowing northeast to Norway and mingling
with the colder seas, while the other branch
flows southeast to the African coast. Now
trace it on the map.
81 have told you that these waters are
warm, but to show you more fully how diff
fsrent they are from other waters of the
ocean through which they pass, l will tell
you this fact 1t is said that the gulf stream
carries into the North Atlantic aud Arctic
oceans heat enough to keep lis rivers as
large as the Mississippi flowing continually
boiling hot, or eight rivers hot as molten
iron. Its average temperature is about SO
degrees Now just think how much good
these warm streams must do. When the
great icebergs from the north come sweeping
around Newfoundland, these waters give
them swarm welcome" aud melt their colo
hearts, Aud the beautiful climate Of thu
British Isles is almost wholly caused by thi
stream which washes their shores. Ever
, Norway is much warmer than South Green
land from the same cause. Their color
, caused by the great quantity of salt the,
/ contain aud how lonely the dark blue wa
tcrs must look sparkling in the light"
t There guess I've told you more tina
| did Minnie. l am apt to forget, but
E just want to tell you what she said about
D after told her oil | thought she could Ut
3 derstand
. There's little blue stream in the Al
lantic ocean jus as pity aud the water run
. along like our brook"
o wonder if some Of you can't describe
3 better than she did.

Needle-W Work in French Converts.

France, as every one well knows, is pre-
emineDtly the land of fine linen. From u
childs pinafore to a cardinals surplice, every
article of wearing apparel that linen can be
turned into is the object of the greatest care
and elaboration and few English women
quit French territory without providing
themselves with choice specimens of French
lingerie. To understand, however, the enor-
nous labor bestowed upon the portion of
female dress it is necessary to see a trous-
seau in hand and to see this it is necessary
to enter a convent.
We enter, then, large, airy, whitewashed
room, with crucifx over the mante-piecs,
aud religious notices painted on the walls.
1t has large windows on each side, and sell
dom any kind of curtin to keep off the daz-
cling light Of midday summer. Sitting
on high benches without backs are
twenty, thirty, fifty girls, as the case may
be, of ages from four aud half to twenty
one busily plying their needles At each
end of the room presides a sister, and her
quaint nuns garb is the only break in the
prevailing monotony--a large bare, over
lighted room, rows of little children and
young girls in white caps, blue checked
dresses and white aprons, who stitch away
silently, almost automatically, while the
bright summer hours pass by. As we enter,
they rise and remain standing while we in
spect the work
The sister takes US from one little needle
woman to another, proudly exhibiting the
stitches or folds of embroidery she has in
hand. Their finished garments are produced,
and we gaze in wonder first at the elaborate
piece Of needle work and then at the feeble
looking workers who have to toll daily to
produce it.
In one instance a visitor and his little girl
were Of the party, when the comic and the
pathetic were combined, the sister, with in-
genous simplicity, offering for his inspec.
ton articles Of female apparel generally sup
posed mysterious to the other sex while il
was touching to see the wistful looks Of those
orphan children-children, did we say 2-oi
those living machines-at the happy little
girl who had for five minutes quilted the
world of sport and sunshine and flowers for
this dreary prison.
These orphans are waits and strays col,
lectod from Paris and the neighboring coun
try, and, inspecting them narrowly, 1t wal
easy to see by their weak eyes, narrow chests
aud STOPPING shoulders, how much their un
natural life was telling upon physique al
ready but too predisposed to sickness anC
