Shetland Women.

Peat takes the place of wood, and in
every poor mans hut in Shetland r.
will be found burning brightly and
giving out thin blue smoke. To nre.
pare peat for the market, q great deal
OF labor is performed. First come the
diggers-men, women and children.
Entering upon the deep, miry bog,
they cut the soil up into cakes foot
long and few inches thick and these
they place in high places to dry. After
a few weeks they come again and carry
the cured fuel away to the town. It is
while carrying these loads that the
Shetlanders present a peculiar specta-
Gle. The men are often very old. in
firm and poorly clothed 1; and the wom-
en- are dressed in short.skirted. home-
spun gowns, beyond which may be
seen very red and very broad feet. On
their heads they usually have white
caps, nicely ironed, with Auted ruffle
around the edge. Passing across the
breast and over either shoulder are two
long straps, and these support an i'm.
mense basket hanging against the back.
Thus equipped. the brave stout women,
their baskets piled with peat, tramp off
to Lerwick, two miles away, to sell their
loads for few pennies each. They
make many trips day, always smiling,
chatting, and apparently contented.
Often long line may be seen stepping
along over the rough roads, stopping
now and then to rest. But there is
something peat woman of Shetland is
continually doing that we have not vet
noticed. All have no doubt heard of
Shetland hosiery of the fine warm
shawls and hoods and delicate wells that
come from these far northern islands.
Now, all the while, the poor, bare
legged woman is carrying her heavy
burden of peat, her hands are never
idle. She is knitting. knitting away as
fast as her nimble fingers will allow. In
her pocket is the ball of yarn, and as
her needles fly back and forth she
weaves fabrics of such fineness that the
royal ladies of England wear them !;
and no traveller visits the island with
out loading his trunks with shawls,
mittens, stockings and other feminine
fancies. Not to know how to knit in
Shetland is like not knowing how to
read at home. A little girl is taught
the art before she can read and, as q
result, at every cottage will be found
the spinning wheel and the needles,
while the feminine hands are never
idle. It is one great means of support !;
and on Regent street in London will be
seen windows full of soft, white goods
marked "Shetland hosiery" Who
first instructed these far northern prople
in this delicate art is not known. On
Fair Isle, one of the Shetland group,
the art is first said to have been dis
covered. very many years ago. On
that lonely isle, even now, every WON.
an, girl and child knits while working
at any of her various duties. The yarn
with which the Shetland goods is made
is spun from the wool of the sheep we
see roaming about the fields. In al
most every cottage may be seen the
veritable old.fashioned wheel and the
busy girl at the treadle sends the great
wheel flying, and spins out the long
skeins, which serve to make baby o
pretty hood or grandma warm shawl.

Domestic Education.

A Boston correspondent writes to q
Western paper that American women
seem to have awakened to the fact at
last that the servantgalism matter is in
their own hands to mend or mar, and
the present indications appear to
point to the mending Of the long crying
evils very decidedly. One of the first
indications was the opening of the
schools of cookery, to which wise mis-.
tresses sent their domestics for train.
ing" While some benefit will result
from these cooking schools, still larger
hopes are founded on another and new
department. To the industrial schools
in New York and Boston have been
added recently what are called kitchen
gardens. Miss Huntington, the lady
who has inaugurated these schools, has
introduced her system into fourteen in
dustrial schools, and in them hundreds
of little girls are learning table-setting,
dish washing, bed-making, door tend
ing, fre-making, in short, everything
needful in household life. Besides
these essentials, their religious training
is impressing upon them the impor.
lance of honesty and truthfulness. If
these kitchen gardens spread all over
the country, what may we not hope for
in the next generation of servant girls
The wonder is that our homework is
done as we'll as it is now, when it is so
generally intrusted to girls who never
knew well-ordered home, and have
picked up what knowledge they have of
cookery. It is doubtless true that
awe may live without poetry, music and art:
We may live without conscience, and live with
out heart;
We may live without friends; we may live
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without boOks-what is knowledge
but grieving2
He may live without hope-what is hope but
deceiving?
He may live without love-what is passion but
pining?
But where is the man that can live without
dining?"
The cooking schools of the past have
been places of amusement for wealthy
young ladies, where, in dainty white
aprons and jaunty white caps, they
learned to make costly salads and
Charlotte russe." Now there is sol
emn proposition afoot in Massachusetts
to establish State cooking schools where
the preparation of all useful articles of
food shall be taught, and the princi.
Piles of chemistry applied.
Much OF this work would be unneces-
sary if mothers would generally train
their daughters in domestic affairs at
home, but since they do not, or can
not, let the training schools 60 on.

Queen Victoria has always been most
punctilious in matters of etiquette. and
it is said that her maids of honor used
to be forbidden to sit down or to speak
in the royal presence unless specially
commanded. One, it is related, who
has since married peer, was the for
tunate possessor of magnificent voice.
and was one day hidden to sit down at
the piano and sing something. She de-
clined to do so, feeling nervous, and
forgetting that queens request was
tantamount to command. The queen
insisted, but the lady urged that she
had bad cold. Well, then, you had
better go to bed" said her majesty.
"No. thank you" was the reply; "but
if you don't mind I'll sit down." and
she did.

Ex1Rc1sE. "A great deal depends
upon the time chosen for needful exer-
else. When it is properly conducted,
the effect on the digestive system is
very marked. The appetite is increased,
and more food is taken in order to sup
ply forcs necessary for the maintenance
Of the mechanical powers. This increase
of appetite is especially noted when the
exercise is taken in the open air. When
exercise is undertaken. however, with
out due preparation, or the bodily
powers are exhausted by fatigue, the
power Of being able to take food is di-
minished. This condition, if the exer
else is continued and the power of
taking food remains impaired, is one of
considerable danger, and the health is
often greatly affected, the force of the
heart being much reduced. 1t is of
great importance, moreo YER, when great
fatigue has been undergone, to see that
the bodily powers are thoroughly re-
cruited by rest before an attempt is
made to take food, otherwise there will
be no inclination to take it, and if forced
down it will not digest. An hours rest
with cup of warm tea will do much
toward restoring appetite in these cases.
Indeed it should oe rule in all clses
that period of rest should intervene
between work and food.
