How Shall we Train Our Girls ?

AMERICANS always censure that
usage which in England gives the titles
and estates to the oldest son, and
leaves the others, too often to shift for
themselves, or, what is worse, to sit
down inmean and beggarly dependence
on the favored one.
But do not many among us make
quite as unjust distinction between
the boys and girls of their families?
All Americans, except snobs and
simpletons, rear their sons, no matter
what their prospects, to some honora-
BILE business or profession. But too
many train their girls for mere parlor
playthings, and defraud them of all
chance for honest independence in the
days of darkness which may come.
There is an insane idea among a GER
tain class, that an idle girl, ignorant
of all the useful arts of life, is lady
above her who applies herself to study,
and learns to do something thorough
ly-WhO has an aim in life.
The hope of such weak parents is
that their daughter may make a great
marriage, and be the ornament OF some
elegant home.
Will this be less likely if she knows
how to order a home, if she is well
read, if she is skilled in music. in
painting, in writing, or sewing? VIII
she be less lady in her own home for
having had the training of a sensible
woman in her fathers house?
Suppose this girl never marries-
many noble woman do not-and that
her riches take wings, and the strong
arm she has leaned on fails; what is
to become of her then? She will be
| utterly helpless, and will become an
unhappy woman, whom the world can
lose without missing.
The Princess Louise is an artist. and
has illustrated the poem which her
! noble young husband, the Marquis of
Lorne, has recently published.
There is no royal road to art. and
her skill, like that of any other
noble woman, is the result of study
labor.
Bismarck's daughter is what we in
America should call "a capable girl"
Besides her accomplishments, she has
great skill with her needle, is versed
in all the good German home arts, and

they reached the house Mrs. Riley
came out to meet them. Chow lono
you have been gone, Susier' she said
Where's Kitty"
Why-she came home hours ago.
cried Susie, in surprise. So She wouldn't
pick berries. -"Oh, James, the child
is lost" exclaimed Mrs. Riley. in
alarm, chow could you let her come
alone, Susie?
Poor Susie did not know what to say.
she had not thought of any danger to
Kitty, and when she saw her father
and Sam, the hired man, start up
through the fields to look for her little
sister, she felt as if she must go too.
But her mother would not let her go.
1t seemed as though week had passed
by to Susie and her mother, when at
last, when it was nearly eight O'Clock,
they saw Mr.. Riley and Sam coming
down the hill, and yes Mr.. Riley
carried Kitty in his arms. The tired
llttle girl was fast asleep, and her
mother wept tears of 10Y as she took
her in her arms and kissed the little
stained face again and again. The
kisses woke Kitty from her nap,
which she had been taking for hours
away down in the woods. What's
this tied up in your apron?" said her
mother. Its some berries for you.
mamma, dot 'em all myself, tause
the bakset was so big" There in
corner of the little apron was a mass
OF berries, mashed and squeezed until
the juice had run way down to Kitty's
feet, bat Mrs. Riley thanked her all
the same, not for the blackberries- but
for the love which went with them.
But Kitty thought it was for the black
berries.-LilG p. North, 6n Aner5can

The Chinese Management OF
Roses.

IT has been stated that the Chinese
method Of layering roses is sometimes
more successful than ours. Late in
the summer they select a vigorous
shoot Of the same years growth and
tongue it; then put in a small peb-
BILE to keep the slit open and bind
a handful of fresh moss around
the tongue, keeping it constantly
dampened. In about six weeks it
will have struck roots and can be
planted without disturbing the messy
covering. Many of the garden roses
can be increased by suckers from the
roots, which can be severed with
sharp spade in the autumn and new
bushes formed of them. Budding
roses is a simple process, by which
amateur cultivatOrs often increase their
stock. A sharp penknife can do duty
for a budding knife, and the handle of
a toothbrush, if ground down smooth,
will answer for spud to aid in lifting
the bark. From the last of June to
the last of August is the best time for
this process as the bark can then be
more easily raised from the wood
Take a smooth stalk and make a hOri-
Zontal cut across the bark, through to
the wood, but not into it. From the
center of this crOsS-cut make another
cut straight down the stem, an inch or
more in length. These two cuts should
resemble a L. Slice off the bud you
desire to propagate with one cut of the
penknife, cutting it close to the main
stalk. Now, with the edge of the spud
turn back the bark on each side of the
straight cut and insert the bud on the
wood of the branch to be budded, fit
ting it tightly to the crossed cut. With
bit of soft yarn bind down the bark,
leaving the point of the bud exposed.
A handful Of dampened moss must
then be bound round the stem, taking
care to leave the tiny point of the bud
exposed to the air. In six weeks the
wrappings can be removed, but all
other shoots must be kept froLl grow
ing on the budded branch. By this
means rosebush can be made to bear
half dozen different colored roses.-

THE TWO FLAGS.

=, FABLE.
lou never can hope" said a gay new FLAG
To an old flag, battered and torn
10 wave on the air your powder-stained rag,
In blaze of this jubilant morn.
/, But keep yourself folded, hiding your rent.
And perhaps somewhere in the rear
They'll carry you yet; though Jete DAYS were
meant
For bright fags-fresh colors, my dear
Wild music came peaIing; lines of brave men
Were linked in professional throng;
Hands clapped, flowers showered. and braves
rang, when
The honored and loved passed along.
The new flag waved proudly, haunting its grace
The multitude saw it. unstirred;
But murmurs arose round the old flags place
Hurrah! hundred hurrahs were heard
: Our cannon-rent banner! In at the deathl
Our battle-stained hagr cried the men.
= Our dear flag" said women, under their breath
Three cheers for the old fagi'' rang then
The old flag was cheered, yesl loudly and long.
Till days jubilate was gone.
Ali new flag, you're fresh and brilliant and
strong;
But glory's thing to be won.

LOVE AND MISCHIEF.

0EE sunny day Love chose to stray
Adown a rosy path forbidden,
Where Mischief deep in ambush lay,
And watched his snare meath flowers bidder
Love tumbling in, began to shout
For MischIefs aid lest he should smother:
= You little demon. let me out
Or III report you to my mother
said Mischief, I'll not set you free
Gnl ess your share your power with me,
And give of every heart you gain,
One-half to joy and half to pain
Love struggled. but in vain, alas!
He was not born to PROVE martyr.
And, sad to tell! it came to pass
He gave in to the little Tartar
Love flew to Venus in pet
And cried, when he had told his story:
o, Q ueen of Beauty, never let
That little imp wear half my glory
The goddess, with look sedate
Replied II cannot alter fate,
But you shall conquer still my boy,
I'll make loves pain more sweet than joy

INDUSTRIAL, STATISTICAL
AND TECHNICAL.

TEXAS still has over so, 600, 900 acres
of public lands.
A SINGLE concern in South Abing-
don, Mass, turns out 1900, 900. 900
eyelets for shoes annually.
CROP reports from nearly every
county in Nebraska indicate the finest
prospects ever known in that State.
THE amount of water daily con-
sumed in London is 113, 800, 900 gal
Ions, or Al, 537, 900, 900 gallons per year.
IT is estimated that the Texas cot
ton crop will be 500, 200 bales. and it
will be at least 5000 bales in excess of
last year.
THE ash seed ripens in the fall of
the year, just before frost. Preserve
the seed in sand till the next spring,
then plant
THE Merrimack Manufacturing Com
pany of Lowell, Mass, has lost 800
900 during the past year, and the
quick capital is reduced to $6S7, 900.
RICE culture in Louisiana employs
10000 people, on 1920 plantations;
produces a crop worth So, 200, 900,
and develops business to the extent
Of $10,0 100000.
WHALE-BONE is no bone at all: nor
does it possess any properties of bone.
1t is substance attached to the lower
jaw OF the whale, and seems to strain
the water, which the creature takes up
in large mouthfuls.
THE deepest Atlantic souadings ever
made were about ninety miles north of
the island of st. Thomas, in 1875 IA
thoms, and the pressure was so great
that the bulb of the thermometer
broke, though made to stand pressure
Of three tons.
THE number of illiterates bv the
census of 1870 above the age of ten
years, III round numbers, is $500. 600.
OF these more than 1900, 900 were
adults, upward of 1000, 600 more were
from fifteen to twenty-one years of
age, and I 100000 were between ten
and fifteen years. Of the number be-
tween fifteen and tWenty-one years it
is estimated that about one-half have
passed the opportunity for education.
ACCORDING to a statement i'm one of
the technical journals, the electric
light is now successfully applied to the
lighting Of one of the principal mills
IN Germany. In a separate room four
magneto-electro machines are placed.
which feed four suitably located lamps
constructed on the Serrin principle.
The dimensions Of the room SO lighted
are sixty meters, or about 200 feet by
100 feet, and each lamp gives a light
equal to about 100 carcel lamps. Each
magneto-electric machine requires
about 361 pounds of motive power.
The cost of the four lamps, exclusive
Of the maintenance of the motive DOW
er, averages about twenty cents per
hour.

let these old foo-foos spoil your sum-
mer house. You're making it too
narrow; looks like an elevator. Want
to spread it out all you can. And
that fearful roof. Never saw any,
thing like it in my life: You want a
sharp roof; sharp and high; high as
you can run it up and sharp enough to
split lightning. That's the kind of a
finish you want"
And Mr.. BOstWick came in and SAT
down on a tOol-cheSt and explained
and argued and ridiculed until it final
ly dawned upon Mr.. Murzleroot that
Mr.. Bostwick had held some kind of a
lien upon the summer house that no.
body had known anything about, and
had finally brought it out and dispos-
sessed Mr.. ThrOop. And under this
conviction he went on and completed
/ the summer house under Mr.. Bost-
Wlck's instructions.
AS they were driving the last nail in
! the revised and corrected summer
house, a couple of dogs ran out of the
yard on the other side of the Wav and
began barking at it furiously. Pres
emily a man drove down the street
with an apple wagon, and when he got
in front of Mr.. MurzlerOot's, the
horses stood up on their hind legs.
turned around in opposite directions.
|
tore the wagon in two and upset it.
