Tine Training that Girls Need.

LAG d RAINING Guab G1TlS IN ecu.
Mrs. Abba Goold Woolson has been
giving Boston some common-sense notions
about The Training that Girls Need. -
In paper read before the Moral Educa
ton Society she pronounced ill-health a
luxury that enormously increased the cost
of living. She advised mothers to keep
their girls from their own fate, and she
assertedlthat girls should be made to lead
quiet life on simple diet until they are
fully grown. that they should exercise
freely lin the open air, that Homework
should be done by them 10 carefully
ventilated rooms. that their dress should
BE- radically changed so that no longer shall
their vital organs be compressed or their
hips weighed down with mass of cloth
that no man would willingly carry. Com
pliance with these rules, she believed.
would give to the world a nobler, healthier
race OF women The object Of girls
mental training should be. she said, to
enable her to reason. not to fill her brain
with superficial ideas. The processes ap
piled TO women's minds that are now
devoted to the education of men, she COZ
sidered, would bring the same results,
She advised that girls pursue with
tn proughness the disciplinary studies.
Next to this she would place the percep-
tive faculties, in which woman is now
much more proficient than man. Woman
should also be acquainted more or less iDri-
mately with physiology, natural philosophy,
the laws of mechanics, chemistry, political
economy. the characteristics of republi
can form CO government, rhetoric and
natural sciences. all of which are far more
important to the girl than the modern Ian
guages. First of all parental duties. Mrs
" ooson placed that of fitting children,
and especially girls, to earn an honorable
living, no matter how wealthy their family
may be. since no one is beyond the reach
OF possible poverty.

Women Eyeing Women.

The cycling of women by women is one
OF the most offensive manifestations of
superciliousness now to be met in society.
Few observant persons can have failed
to notice the manner in which one woman,
who is not perfectly we'll bred or perfect
.ly kind hearted, will see another woman
whom she thinks is not in such good
society, and at the time in SO costly a
dress as she herself is in. It is done every
where; at parties, at church, in the street.
1t is done by women in all conditions of
LIE: The very servant girls learn it Of
their mistresses. It is done in an instant.
Who cannot recall hundreds of instances.
OF that sweep Of the eye which takes in
at glance the whole woman, and what
she has on, from topknot to shoetle? Men
are never guilty OF 1t, or, with such ex-
IRENE rarity, and then in such feeble and
small-souled specimens Of their sex, that
it may be set down as sin not masculine.
or at least epicene. But women of sense
of some breeding, and even of some
kindliness Of nature, will thus endeavor
to assert superiority upon the me anest
of all pretences aud infiict wound in a
manner most cowardly, because it cannot
be resented, and admits of no retort. If
they but only knew how unlovely, how
positively offensive they make themselves
in so doing, not only to their victims.
but to every generous hearted man who
observes their maneuvres, they would
give up a triumph so mean and so
cruel which is obtained at such sacrifice
on their part No other evidence than
this cycling is needed, that a woman,
whatever be her birth or breeding, has
small and vulgar soul. -EucAange.

Runaway Marriages.

The marriage laws in Virginia are very
strict, a full account Of the age, parents
names, occupations and residence being
required from both parties before license
is granted. A clergyman who marries
minors without the parents consent is
liable to impri sonment and fine of
$4,000. It is probably owing to these
safeguards about marriage that divorces
are SO rare in Virginia. Before the war
in village called Hard-Scrabble, lust
over the Pennsylvania line was sort Of
Gretna Green, and a quondam shoe max
er, who had been chosen justice of the
peace, officiated as god of love to Join the
flying lovers who hied to him to escape
the law.
When they were very young, however,
the old man often reasoned with them
like father, and more than once sent
them home to learn wisdom with age.
On one occasion, when the girl was
mere child,s Quimby, the shoemaker,
laid down his pipe, and fixed his eyes on
her blushing, trembling face. ssMarrv

There, near Yonkers, CORVALLIS crossed

Renaissance Of a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadelphia
short time ago, was in his day one of
the most noted gamblers who made their
trade notorious on the Mississippi river.
Although he protested to be ga man of
honor" he was by no means Of the very
best morals, and he did not object to
take advantage of his fellow men. For
instance: With his friend and accom-
pllce he would board boat at Louisville,
and, scanning the passenger-list, pick out
Tor his victims some old card PLAYERS of
wealth with whom he was personally ac-
qualnted. TO these people he would 90
very quietly and say Of his accomplice.
There is man who plays high, and we
can peat him; you join with me and Well

was made up, but Watts always succeed

Once he was accused of swindlino in
that way, the charge being made in the
heat of play by q man from whom Watts
accomplice had just won $4,000. "Is

was late, and only the Waterman and the

charge; but all OF them drew back and
held their breath, for they were sure
Jack" would take life to wipe out the
insult. It is said that he had done that
thing. 81 will give you $4,000 right here

forth his pocketbook. mo, sir; do not
want the money; you cannot buy my

smiled in his wicked way, held pistol
in one hand and the money in the other.
and said, quietly, as before: "My friend,
tor the suppression Of your opinion I
offered you $4,000. You refused. Now
| offer you that amount of money and
your life. Do you accept?" The man
looked into jacks cold, steel gray eve,
and what he read there was convin cling.
He took the money and his life and kept
silent
