WHY WOMEN SHOULD READ.

Laying aside the thought Of our own rest
and comfort, let us look a little higher. For
the children's sake we must make the most
of ourselves. Many,an unselfish mother has
said, ooh, | cannot take all this time, there
are so many things to do for the children"
She does not realize that she may do more
for them in the end by cultivating herself
and cooking. A generosity which makes
the recipient weak or selfish is not a blessing
but a curse. Have you not seen grown-up
sons who snubbed their mothers opinionsin
the same breath with which they called her
to bring their slippers? The meek little
woman has 'trotted around' to wait on
them so long that they have come to think
that that is all she is good for. Their sisters
keep MA" in the background because she
"'hasn't a bit of style" and is $50 uncultivat-
ed" forgetting that she has always worn
shabby clothes that they might wear fine
ones; that her hands have become horny
with hard work that theirs might be kept
soft and white for the piano, and that she
has denied herself books and leisure thas
they might have both. And there are other
children, too noble for such base ingratitude,
who feel a keen though secret sense of loss
as they kiss the dear withered cheek and
think how much more of a woman ''mother''
might have been if she had not shut herself
away from the culture and sweet compan-
ionship of books.-Sc,i5ner.

HOW THEY DIED,

Over six hundred skeletons have already
been exhumed from the ruins of Pompeii,
but fortunately most of the Inhabitants man
aged to escape, having needed the warning
OF the burning mountain. Only the bones
remain of the victims, the flesh having most
ly persisted, but nov and then alittle tutt of
hair has been found clinging to the skull.
The positions of the bodies in every possible
form of contortion all indicate a violent
death, one of agony and suffering.
A miser was found grasping a bag of gold
in his hand. In one room a family group
embracing each other in death, in another
the bones of dancing girls mingled with the
broken instruments OF music, can be seen +;
in another place the skeleton of a cook at
his place near the stovein the kitchen. One
house contains bones scattered about bear
ing marks Of being gnawed, while near by
lay the skeleton OF a dog, showing that the
brute had survived and eaten his master.
Here is a company of young and old fleeing
to the sea there the remains of a mother
vainly trying to shelter her three little child
rem from the fiery storm. Outside OF the
gates in his sentry box stands a Roman sol
der in complete armor, with the key of the
city gate in his hand. After standing faith
fully at his post for seventeen centuries, he
was discovered "clad in rusty armor, the
helmet on his empty skull and the spear in
his bony fingers" In the city prison, not
far distant, were found the prisoners, some
with their feet made fast in the stocks.'

A spEECHLEss RACE OF MEN.

DIR. Fields book on Java says: "This
part of the world would delight Mr.. OAR
win by the strange races it contains, some
of which approach the animal tribes. In the
Island of RHO, the Resident assured me,
there were wild men who lived in trees, and
had no language but cries; and in Sumatra
the Resident said there were men who lived
IN forests, with whom not only the Europe
ans but even the Malays could have no in
tercourse. He himself had never seen one !;
vet, strange to say, they have a petty traffic
with the outer world, yet not through the
medium of speech. They live in the woods,
and live by the chase. They hunt tigers,
not with the gun, but with a weapon called
a sumpitan, which is long tube, out Of
which they blow arrows with such force,
and that are SO keen of point, and touched
with such deadly poison, that the wound is
almost Immediately fatal. These tiger skins
or elephant tusks they bring for barter-not
for sale-they never sell anything. tor money
is about the most useless thing they could
have the cannot eat it, or drink It, or wear
it. But, as they have wants, they exchange,
vet they themselves are never seen. They
bring what they have to the edge OF the for
est. and leave it there, and the Malays come
and place what they have to dispose of, and
retire. If the offer is satisfactory, when the
Malays return they find what they brought
gone. and take what is lett and depart. Ii
not, they add a few trifles more to tempt the
ewes of these wild men of the woods, and so
at last the exchange is effected, yet all the
While the sellers keep themselves invisible.
This mode of barter argues honesty on both
Sides"

GIVE IT TO 'EM IN LATIN.

1t is an oft-spoken whim of the cynics-
and possibly something more-that the doc
tors give their prescriptions in Latin so as to
afford their ignorant patients the benefit of
a little Imagination. Botus p~anifcus sounds
a good deal more important than 'bread
pill" Some years ago, in a Rhode Island
Legislature, a member moved to translate
all the Latin phrases in the statutes, so that
the common people could understand them.
A Mr.. Updike took the ground that it was
no advantage to have the people understand
the laws. He said they were not afraid of
anything they understood. That it was the
Latin words they were afraid of, and pro-
ceeded to illustrate his position as follows;
M Speaker, there was a man in South
kingstown about twenty years ago who was
a perfect nuisance, and nobody knew how to
get rid of him. One day he was hoeing
corn, and he sew the Sheriff coming with Il
paper, and asked what it was. Now, if he
had told him it was a writ, what would he
have cared? But he told him that it was u
capsas satisfacieadun, and the man dropped
his hoe and ran, and has not been heard OF
SINCE"

SHOT IN THE NECK"

A young lady of Okolona sat beside the
window, sewing, when her brother lounged
into the room and reposed his manly form
on the sofa.
"Bud.n said our heroine, looking up from
her work, "Papa says that Frank was on a
iamboree last night. What Gid he mean:"
and a deep blush mantled her seraphic coun-
tenance as she spoke the name OF the man
she loved.
"a jamboree, SIS" was the answer rs Q
