There is very wealthy family who live
few miles out Of Boston who have eaten
nothing but fruit and vegetables for years,
who have not servant in the great man

do the.heavy work. The family consists OF
three persons only-father, mother, anu
one daughter about cen years, who is lite
rally brought UP ir a glass.case, her play
room, study, and nursery all being at the
top OF the house, where walls and roo1
are OF glass, the continual sun-Dath being
considered necessary to the cbld's physical
and moral health and wel-being. The
mother, formerly Normal schooI-teacher,

little girl never goes out, and rarely does
she ever see another child.-CorreSpondence

In his new work, "The Races OF Eu-
ropean Turkey" Edison l.. Clark says phi
loIogy has shown that the Gypsies are really
an offshoot from the Hindoo race, being
nothing else than wandering tribe from
the Valley of the Indus. Their languagels
a branch OF the ancient Sanscrlt, akin to
the modern dialects of northern India. A
modern Hindoo would probably make him
self understood by any tribe Of Gypsies in
Europe. There is no word in their Ian
guage for God or for immortality. Their
lang uage has no alphabet and no literature,
except few miserable songs that are passed
from mouth to mouth. And yet OF this
people who have no literature there are
100000 or 100000 in Europe, and probably
5000, 900 in the whole world.

3 1t was once Causerr's good fortune TO
spend d few days 10 the modest home OF 9 !
sricnd OF slender raeans--a home that was
ali Tint its owner could afford to make II.
vet lacked many things that would have
made IT more comfortable and convenient.
During Causeur's stay two guests were en-
fertained at tea, both OF them men Of means
and wide acquaintance. nccustomed 10 ell
the luxury that wealth can give. but they
were WIDER different in their behavior.
The s;rst dwelt upon the fact that the house
was In ON 0lt-di-t le.way spot, and that
there were few or no neighbors. AZ
table he told OF tue delicious tea he had
drank al the house Of enc friend, OF
the rich tea-seryice that he had seen
upon the table 81 another, OF the rare old
china that was used in bis own household,
and OF the dainty meals he had eaten from
it. In the cramped little sitting.room, aftef

over her husbands thoughts. The next
evening came the other visitor. He brought
good cheer in his very face. The room, DC
said, felt so warm and comfortable AFTER
his walk, which, he added, was Just
the thing to give a man good ap
petite for his supper. AT table ne
spoke OF everything that was nice. con-
graduated his host on having such snug
little home, apologized for eating so much,
but couldn't help it, because it was $50
rood /" and tasted $50 home-like," liked the
Old black teapot, because it was Just like
the one his mother had when he was boy,
and told his hostess, who was all smiles and
as happy as queen, that she ought to thank
her stars that she had no gas or furnace to
ruin the flowers that made her room look so
cheerful. After tea he insisted that the
children should not be seLt to bed Just
vet -; said he wanted to tell them story,
as he did; and when he had done and had
kissed them goodnight, they trudged on
I'D stairs with beamIng faces. under the
guidance Of mother who felt that ray OF
real sunshine had entered her home, making
it better and happier for all time.

The Post Odice-A Great Inconvenience.
Ttere is considerable complaint at the late
hour mt which the first mail IS received in
Manchester. 1t is about u O'Clock NJ. by
the time it is ready for delivery. OF course
no blame attaches to Postmaster Beattle, as
he has to be guided by the railroad scheu-
ules. The northern mail is not received IN
Richmond until about 1850, and II our mali
were received earlier 1t would only De local
in it's character. 1t is serious inconveni-
ence for businessmen to wait so long for
their morning mail, but as the situation is
nj present it rlust be borEe, unless our peo-
Die can get the authorities to allow special
mail from Richmond to be ready for de-
