A SHanf Momnn.

In a popular noYel,a woman is in
trOduced who, being mortally offended
declared she would never speak again
Critics pronounced the incident unnat-
ural and impossible. 1t was neither
for here we have the fact on which the
incident was founded.
Madame Riginer, the wife of a Jaw
officer at Versailles, dropped some re-
marks which were out of place, though
not important, her husband reprimanded
her before the company, saying:
silence, madame, you are a foolP'
The lady Immediately subsided. She
lived twenty or thirty years afterwards,
and never uttered a single word to anyo
body, not even to her children. A pre-
tended theft was committed in her pres
ence, in the hope Of taking her by sur
prise, but with no effect, nothing could
induce her to speak. When her consen!
was requisite to the marriage Of any OF
her children she bowed her head and
signed the contract. and even when she
died she merely sighed "adieu."

BatHi1g IN Public.

As we were about TO leave, says a Jap
Rnese correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, a lady of elegant attire and
attended by a female servant bearing
her toilet apparatus, and another, with
other luxuries of bath, entered. Our
new arrival, after giving some directions,
with the assistance of her maid began
to arrange herself for the bath. With
her maid she neatly folded and laid
away on cloth in clean place each
particle OF her apparel as it was re-
moved. First her silken robe, then the
flowing gOWn-like robe of purple, then
the neither garments Of white, until we
reached natures own. As gently as a
zephyr playing upon the foliage of the
trees she stepped along toward the
water. Her beautiful-rounded form and
poetry of motion would have been
worthy of the sculptor's chisel. A beau
tifUl-rounded ankle and pretty foot,
vaguely visible beneath the laminated
folds Of a dozen skirts would set the
whole community agog at home: while
a whole form, nude as nature and more
beautiful than an angel, would not so
much as attract a passing glance in
Japan.

FOR the Ieachers' COluI
The Teachers Profession.


Mr. ED1ToR:-Seeing an article re-
lating to school discipline, in your
last issue, prompts a desire to say a
word thereon, which, if taken in the
spirit intended, will inure to the
benefit of all concerned in schools.
I have a teacher friend, who has
been teaching in Central Kentucky
for many years. Once upon a time
he was called from his boarding
place-the residence of one of the
Trustees, as they call them over
thereto the county-seat. The
message came at night, so that he
had no opportunity to dismiss school
for half day, yet he was obliged
to appear before the county clerk
the next morning. As he could run
down on the Z, and return on the IL
o'clock trains, he suggested to the
Director that he represent him at
the school house, which the Director
willingly consented to do Mr.. B.,
the teacher, gave Mr.. E. all his in
structions in this fashion: "Mr. E., all
you have to do is to ring the bell at
8, and the scholars will take t.eir
places. You can then tell them
you are teacher pro tenn. Then or
der the fatigue squad" to remain
on duty until relieved. The first
class of the morning hour" will
then take the recitation bench.
When you dismiss it, the next will
take its place, and so on until recess.
If you want any help call on Miss
Lizzie"
Mr.. B. took the train, and Mr.. E.
took up the school. But great was
BIS surprise when he returned three
hours after, to meet E. about half a
mile from the school house, looking
as though he had not a friend nor a
dollar in the world. What is the
matter, Mr.. E.?' Nothing, B., bnt

Strannth nf Lnsacts

The following are striking illustrations
Of the superhuman strength with which
the commOnest insects are endowed.
The common flea, as every one knows,
will, without much apparent effort jump
two hundred times its own length, and
several grasshOppers and lOcusts are
said to be able to perform leaps quite as
wonderful. In the case Of the insect
they scarcely excite our notice but if a
man were cOolly to take a standing leap
of three hundred and eighty odd yards,
which would be an equivalent eXertlon
Of muscular power, perhaps our admir-
ers Of athletic sports might be rather
startled at such performance.
Again, for a man to run ten miles
within the hour would be admitted to
be a tolerably good display Of Pedes-
trianism; but what are we to say to the
little fly observed by Mr.. Delisle, $50
minute as almost to be invisible" " which
ran. nearly six inches in a second, and
in that space was calculated to have
made one thousand and eighty steps?
This. according to calculation, is as if a
man whose steps measured only two feet,
should run at the incredible rate Of
twenty miles in a minute. Equally sur
prising are the instances of insect
strength given by Mr.. Newport. The
great stag-beetle, which tears of the
bark from the roots and the branches Of
trees. has been known to gnaw hole,
az inch In diameter, through the side Of
an iron canister in which he was con-
fined, and on which the marks Of its
Jaws we're distinctly visible, as proved
6v Mr.. Stephens, who exhibited the
canister at one of the meetings Of the
chronological Society.

The wild hogs-ef South America are
very savage, and when aroused know
not fear. One night hungry party of
explorers, camped in a Brazilian forest,
heard an uproar of grunting, squeaking
and clacking of tUsks. "Pigs% ex-
claimed all with jOyfulness, "nOw we'll
have a dinner"
Snatching their guns, they crept eau
tiously towards the sounds Coming to
the edge of a clearing they saw by the
moonlight a jaguar standing on an ant
hill, about five feet from the ground.
Surrounding him were fifty or sixty wild
hogs, furious in their efforts to get at
their enemy.
The jaguar, with his tail stuck well up
in the air, and his legs close together,
stood balancing himself on the points of
the hillock. As the infuriated pigs
threatened one side or the other, he
would turn around and face them. He
was evidently uneasy, and only waiting
for a chance TO make a rush and escape.
In a moment of forgetfulness the
jaguar slightly dropped his tail. In
stantly a pig seized it and pulled; then
another, and another, and the beast was
dragged from his perch to the ground.
The battle was terrible. The yellow
body of the jaguar rose up above the
grunting, squealing mass of pigs, and his
powerful jaws struck deadly. blows.
Then he fell-the uproar sudsided, and
the herd dispersed. The party of ex-
plorers walked to the battle-ground.
Fourteen dead pigs were lying on the
field, but no jaguar or its remains were
seen.
Presently one Of the party, picking up
Il fragment of something said, Here's
the tigerw 1t was a bit of the jaguar's
skin. He had been torn to pieces and
devoured by the savage hogs.
