The Wife of Henry Clay.

If the biography of great man al
ways revealed the whole truth, it would
frequently be found that his wife had
played an important though an obscure
part in his life's drama. An article in
the Lexington (Ky.) Transcript lifts
the curtain from Henry Clay's domestic
life SO far as to show his wife taking
care of his family while the great
statesman was looking after the nation.
What Ashland would have been but
for Mrs. Clay it would be hard to tell,
for her husband was at the capital of
the nation more than half his time.
She attended to everything, including
Ave sons, who, according to their old
teacher, Amos Kendall, were not the
meekest of the lambs that gambolled ct
Ashland.
She managed the farm, with its crops
and livestock her household affairs,
q large family of children, and not a
few negro servants, so well as to assist
largely in keeping up Mr.. Clay's for
to heavy drains.
She often pulled the finest of her
vegetables with her own hands, and
sent them, with butter, milk and fruit,
regularly to be sold.
She often said, "My children laugh
at me for selling such things, but they
never object to the money / get for
them"
Her treatment of her slaves will be
judged from her custom of rewarding
them OF the close Of the week in pro-
portion to their industry and good con-
duct. Saturday evening at Ashland
with the " darkies" was synonymous
with Mrs. Clay's business-table covered
with little piles of silver money.
The wife of the "great commoner 3"
cared nothing for general and fashion.
able society, and it was fortunate under
the circumstances that she did not.

Examination Of q London School
Board.

An English writer has been sharply
criticising the management of the Lon.
don public schools, known as the
" Board Schools" and produces tine
following as specimens of the written
examinations of some of the scholars:
Where is Turkey?"
Turkey is the capital Of Norfalk."
Where is Turin?"
"Tureen is the capital of Chiner,
the peepul there lives in burd nests and
has long tails"
Where is Gibraltar?"
"Gibberalter is the principal town in
Rooshia."
"What to you know of the patriarch
Abraham ?"
He was the father of Lot. and 'ad
tew wives-wun was called Hishmale
and t'other Haygur. He kept wun al
home, AMI he turn'd t'other into the
desert, where she became a pillow Of
salt in the daytime and pillow of fire
at nite."
"What do you know of Joseph ?"
Hee wore koat of many garments
Hee were chief butler to Faro and told
his dreams. He married Potiffers dor
ter, and he led the Gypshuns out OF
bondage to Kama, in Galilee, and then
fell on his sword and died in site OF
the promiss land"
"Give me- the names of the books
of the Old Testament"
Devonshire, Exeter, Littikus, Num-
bers, Stronomy, Jupiter, Judgment,
Ruth, etc.,"
"What is miracle ?"
"Don't know"
If you saw the sun shining over
head at midnight, what would you call
it?"
"The moon"
"But if you were told it was the sun %
81 should say it was a lie."
Another boy, giving his impressions
in regard to Moses, wrote as follows /:
He was an Egpyshun. He lives in
bark maid of bull-rushers, and he KEEP
golden CART, and worshipt brazen
snakes, and he het nothin but kwales
and manner for forty year. He was

A Great Actresses Toilette.

The following is description of
Madame Modjeska's toilette in "Frou-
Frou":
Her first appearance is in riding
habit of black cloth, with black beaver
hat, gloves, and riding whip.
The next costume is combination of
white silk and MORE antique, made
with low basque, short sleeves, and
full train. The MORE, in two broad
revers at the side and front of the skirt,
is finished by ruffling, which also orna-
ments the neck and sleeves. A bow of
blue and white ribbon, with very long
ends, is pendant from the right shout
der, and collarette of blue ribbon,
with bouquet of forget-me-nots at the
throat, and another on the left side of
the corsage, completes the costume.
A third striking toilette is morning
dress of white embroidered Canton
Grape, bordered with heavy fringe !;
scarf draped across the left shoulder
and partial sacqus; high neck and
long sleeves. This costume, which
throughout is in neglige style, is high
ly artistic in effect. ''.
Madame Modjeska next appears in a
superb dinner toilette of Nile green
satin, deliberately draped, and combined
with white illusion, embroidered with
pink roses. The corsage is low, with
elbow sleeves and long white kid gloves,
and here she assumes diamond neck
lace and earrings of surprising rich
ness. A cloak of crimson satin, lined
with white, is thrown over her shout
ders.
A fifth toilette is home dress of
mauve brocade and blue satin, made
princesse, with flowing train of the
brocade, low, square neck, elbow
sleeves, blue satin vest laced across,
and simulated satin petticoat.
The next succeeding costume is q
demi-toilette of cream-colored CASH
mere combined with wood colored
silk, made high neck, long sleeves, and
vest laced across with wood-colored
silk cord.
The costume worn in the last (dying)
scene is close fitting black cashmere,
with black lace scarf thrown over her
head.
The beauty, grace, and dramatic
powers of the fair actress are too we'll
known to require fresh comment. tits
not with the diamond, but with the set
ting, that we have to do in this case.
WEAVING CoLTs.-A correspondent
OF o Canada paper, makes the following
suggestions on the subject of weaving
colts:
Put the colt and its mother in sta.
BILE; tie both side by side in manger
in wide stall have nothing between
them give them an adequate supply of
nutritious aliment for q few days, and
the thing is accomplished. Iprefer this
way, because it prevents fretting, on
the part of both, the mare and colt and,
as an lrishman expressed it, about two
pigs In the same pen, the one encour-
ages the other to eat so that the colt is
not reduced in condition, as is too often
the case during the weaving process.
This mode of treatment helps to halter
break the colt, too, if it has not pre-
viously been done.
Another plan I have sometimes adopt
ed, when / did not want % stable the
colt-that is, started the old folks away
on visiting tour for a week or so with
the mare, leaving the colt in the pas
ture field with other colts thus the
two are out of hearing distance of each
other, until the young one forgets its
baby notions.

Chinese Dentistry.

1t is we'll known that the Chinese at
tribute toothache to the gnawing of
worms, and that their dentists profess
to take these worms from decayed teeth.
But how they performed this trick, and
so artfully concealed it in the hurry of
daily business, was secret only re.
Gently solved by an European inquirer
After some difficult and delicate nego-
tiations, an intelligent-looking native
practitioner was induced to hand over
the implements of his trade, together
with number of the worms, and to
give instructions in the method of pro-
cedure. When a patient with tooth
ache applies for relief, if the tooth is
solidly fixed in the socket, the gum is
separated from it with sharp instru-
ments and made to bleed. During this
operation the cheek is held on one side
by bamboo spatula, both ends of
which are alike, and on the end held in
the hand some minute worms are con-
cealed under thin paper pasted to the
spatula. When all is ready this is
adroitly turned aud inserted in the
mouth, and the paper becoming moist
ened is very easily torn with the sharp
Ahopi uoCu lOI CulJiuR VIC RuulS !,
the worms mix with the saliva, and the
dentist, of course, picks them out with
pair of forceps. The patient having
occular demonstration that the cause of
disease has been removed, has good rea-
son to expect relief, which in many
cases would naturally follow the bleed
ing OF the gum. When the pain re-
turns the same operation is performed
over again, and fresh supply of worms
fully accounts for the recurring trou.
BILE. These worms are manufactured
in quantities to suit the trade. and thew
are very cleverly done still, to carry
on the delusion fully, the dentists are
obliged to keep ON hand few live
worms to show their patients, explain
ing that most of these worms taken
from the tooth are killed either by o
powder which is often applied, or by
the process Of removing them with the
forceps. The practice Just described,
it may be added, is resorted to when
the tooth is firmly set in the jaw
