OLD AGE AND WOMANHoOD. Mrs. II.
W. B9echer hls been repeatedly request
Gu 10 give some reasons why ladies are re-
luctant to acknowledge their true age but
she doubts if this folly is as common rs is
usually believed. In early youth each adj
dltlonal year is hailed us mark of honor,
ana our little ones are far more eager to
magnify than ladies' are supposed to be to
subtract from the full number of wears
me mistake of our young people lies, she
talnKs, IN fostering false Impressions; in
yielding without protest to the popular
h.eresy that an "old maid must, of neces.
sity, be disagreeable and troublesome-
ana that from these pecuiarities there is
no escape On the contrary, our daughter
should DC taught that it rests almost en-.
tlfely with ones own self whether, if liv-
ing IN single bessedness," one shall be
the bngbear of the family or its sweetness,
Ils crown, Its glory. These latter blessed
ones have no hesitation in speaking of
GIle!f age under the proper circumstances
but there is a class of ladies' who endeavor
to hide their age, even ut the expense of
truth-the mothers who love dress and
lasnlGna6Ie life more than they love homes
ana children; who, to secure the, compli-
ments and attentions usually given to the
young, keep their daughters in boarding
schools away from home a5 long as posi-
bic, looking forward to their chiIdren's va
cation with dread, and see their little rirls
shoot up into beautiful and graceful wo-
men with dismay. Every advance toward
maturity is tl the vain and hearlless moth
er an Index of her own age. Such women
dread Old age, and with reason, and will
not acknowledge it as long as by every
known reluvenator or cosmetic, even at
the risk Of health or life, they can ward
OFT that dreaded foe. The daughters, lust
entering upon the unnatural and unhealthy
eXcltements and dissipations of fashionable
life, will not give up their own gratifca-
ton to sooth the declining years of moth
crs who are made prematurely old and
helpless by former dissipation. How diff
ferent the lot of those mothers who have
made home and home duties their pleas
ure, and, having tried to do their whole
duty, shrink not from wrinkles, gray hairs
Or old age; but keeping their hearts young,
hnd increased happiness and honor in
every added year, rejoicing with joy un-
speakable in The love and devotion of
children who have seen in their mothers
age but the "sanset breaking into day"

WHAT WILL SURPRISE AN INDIAN
The Indian has actual and common expe-
rience of many articles of civilized manu-
facture, the simplest of which is rs entire
ly beyond his comprehension as the most
complicated. He would be simple ex-
clamation point did he show surprise at
everything new to him, or which he does
not understand. He goes to the other eX-
trcme, and rarely shows or feels surprised
at anything. lle visits the states, looks
unmoved ut the steamboat and locomotive.
People call it stoicism. They forget that
to his ignorance the production of glass
bottle is as inscrutable rs the sound of the
thunder. A piece OF guady calico is a
marvel; common mirror a miracle. He
knows nothing of the comparative difficult
ties of invention and manufacture, and Ia
him the mechanism of locomotive is not
in any way more matter of surprise than
that of wheelbarrow. When things in
their own daily experience are performed
in what to them is remarkable way,
they do express the most profound aston
ishment. have seen several hundreds OF
Indians, eager and excited, following from
one telegraph pole to another reparer,
whose legs were encased in climbing boots
When he walked easily, foot over foot,
up the pole, their surprise and delight
found vent in the most vociferous express
sion of applause and admiration. A white
lady mounted on sde-saddle, in what tc
the Indian woman would be an almost
impossible position, would excite more sur.
prise and admiration than would Hoe
printing press in full operation.

TIE BRAIN.--One of the readiest roads
to the brain is through the lungs You
may reach the brain in II minute with
chloroform. The power of this drug is
sometimes marvellous. When under its
influence II man may have limb cut off
without any sensation whatever; and even
when he receivers from the artificial trance
he may still have neither pain nor uneasi-
ness. Why? Have yoa ever seen II per-
son after II fit Of epilepsy? After II fit of
that kind people have no remembrance of
anything done TO them during the fit. Dur
ing the cpileplie paroXysm the brain is all
but completely torpid. The same thing
happens after the anNSthetic sleep of chlo-
roform. In neither case can II man re-
member what he never felt. But mark
what may happen after amputation per-
formed on patient under chloroform.
The same man who felt no pain in the
stump either during or after the operation,
may continue for many months to be at
tackled with the Identical local symptoms
for which his limb WIS removed, ut the
hour of the day Or night when he was
wont TO suffer marlyrdom before its re.
moval And, more than this, if seized by
the old enemy during sleep, be may
awake, oxclaiming, go, my leg! my leg!
it pains me the same rs when it was on"
More curious still, he may tell you he can,
us far MS his feelings are concerned, act
ually move the foot of the amputated
limb. What do these facts prove? They
prove that the brain is the source Of all
motion and sensation, morbid or sane;
they prove inversely that the brain is the
source OF all paroXysmal recurrence,
whether the more prominent symptoms
be general or local.

CHINESE IVORY vING.-There is at
the Office of the Consolidated Virginia
Mining Company II magnificent specimen
ot Chinese carving In ivory. The piece
of carving is about sixteen inches in height
and is elaborate almost beyond description
or comprehension. At the base are sever
al human figures and the figure Of horse
some three inches in height, all carefully
and artisticallY wrought, while at the dis
tLuce of about ten inches above is seen u
ball about four inches in diameter, on the
surface of which are hundreds of human
figures, standing or reclining in niches
most wonderful in the elaborateness and
dcicacy of the carvings surrounding them
Inside of this ball are no less than twenty
one other balls, or hollow spheres, each Us
delicate and beautifully wrought rs the
first or outer shell. All these spheres may
be turned and m wed about in such II way
that the figures carved on them may be
seen. Above this nest of spheres ARE II
number Of human figures all bearing the
Chinese human face divine" which fig
ares are of about the same size rs those at
the base. This splendid specimen of Chin
rse Workmanship was sent to Mr. Mackay
by II friend residing in China. TO carve ii
must have been the work of years. Nr-

THE JEWS EXEMPTION FROM EPIDEM.
ICs.-In the case of the London smallpox
epidemic the remarkable fact has been no
tced thlt only one case of this frightful
disease has engaged the attention of the
medical officer of the Jewish Board OF
Guardians. The same exception from
epidemic diseases has been noticed among
the Jews in all countries, and is attributed
to their mode of living, 1t is an interest
ing question in Il sanitary point of view to
what extent mortality from such diseases
may be limited to pork-eaters. Bilious
disease is largely attributed, ii is well
known, TO the use Of pork But the Jews
not only reject pork from their dietary, but
they also, under their religious laws, exer-
else extraordinary care to secure the meat
of animals that are in perfectly sound
and healthy condition when killed. In
our Washington markets, for instance
they deal only with certain butchers, who
provide them with meat from animals Sc
lected and killed under the conditions O

A MOTHERS POCKET Much has been
written about n b. US pocket; wonder if
any one has dared to expose to the public
the contents of Il mothers pocket? Well
do we remember our mothers pocket.
There were four Of us children at home,
and in the daily routine of household du-
ties, she would come across some little
toy belonging to each of US, and transfer
it to her pocket At the end of two or
three days that pocket would become
burden; and when one of us was hunting
for u lost toy she would say, 81 shouldn't
wonder if you'd find it in my pocket"
So while her busy hands were still at
work, we would undertake to explore the
fathomless abyss. First, was the hand
kerchef, of course, then an old glove; next
u paper bag with a handful of raisins in it;
somebody's ball; a bunch of keys; the
much used pocket-book; piece of chew
ing-gum or indiarubber; string Of
beads; a fg;a broken pointed ead-pencil;
II verse of poetry torn from newspaper;
II gingorsnap and u few coppers; perhaps
II valentine or II paper DOLL II bit of dried
orange peel, and II piece of candy sticking
to the pocket and holding itlogether. At
ter we reached that stratum, we generally
found our missing article; but don re-
member that we ever stopped to put the
contents of that pocket back again. Poor
patient, little mother
