A Coon MovE.-Iowa college girls
are taught cookery with other studies.
Every girl in the Agricultural College
junior class has learned how to make
good bread, weighing and measuring
her ingredients. mixing, kneading and
baking, and regulating her fire. Each
has also been taught to make yeast and
bake biscuit, buildings, pies and cake
of various kinds how to cook roast,
broil steak and make cup of coffee /;
how to stuff and roast turkey, make
oyster soup, prepare stock for other
soups, steam and mash potatoes so that
they will melt in the mouth, and, in
short, get up first-class meal, combin-
ing both substantial and fancy dishes,
in good style. Theory and manual
skill have gone hand in hand. Vast
stores of learning have been accumu-
lated in the arts OF canning, preserving
and picking fruits, and they have
taken practical lessons in all the de-
tails OF household management, such
as house-furnishing, care of beds and
bedding. washing and ironing, care of
the sick, care of children, etc. While
acquiring this useful knowledge, the
girls have gained first. class education
as we'll.

THE BRoNTE FAMILY.-Mr. Francis
Grundy is an Englishman who at one
time in his life was introduced by his
friend Patrick Bronte into the domestic
circle at Haworth Rectory. Thus he
describes the members: 1.-The father
upright, handsome. distantly court
eous, white haired, tall knowing me
as his sons friend. he would treat me in
the Grandisonian fashion, coming him
self down to the little inn to invite me,
a boy, up to his house, where l would
he coldly uncomfortable until I could
escape with Patrick Bramwell to the
moors. The daughters distant and
distract, large of nose, small of figure,
red of hair, prominent of spectacles !;
showing great intellectual development,
but with eyes constantly cast down, very
silent, painfully retiring. n
Bramwell was very much like them, al
most insignificantly small-one of his
life's trials. He had mass of red hair,
which he wore brushed high off his
forehead, to help his height, fancy q
great. bumpy, intellectual forehead,
nearly half the size of the whole facial
contour small ferrety eyes, deep sunk,
and still further hidden by the never
removed spectacles prominent nose,
but weak lever features. He had q
downcast look, which never varied,
save for rapid momentary glance at
long intervals. Small and thin of per.
son, he was the reverse of attractive at
first sight"

Do the DYING Suffer Paint

People do not like to think of death.
It is an unpleasant subject; but it con-
stantly obtrudes itself, and there has
been much speculation as to whether
mental or physical pain attends the
final act. Observation teaches us that
there is little pain Of either kind in dy-
ing. Experience will come to us all
one of these days, but it will come too
late to benefit those who remain. 1t
seems to be kind provision OF nature
that, as we approach the dread event,
our terrors diminish, aud the coward
and the hero die alike fearless, in
different or resigned. AS to physical
pain, DIR. Edward H. Clark, in Wis
ions,' says:
1.-The rule is that INCONSISTENCIES,
not pain, attends the final act. 10 the
subject of it death is no more painful
than birth. Painlessly we come !;
whence we know not. Painlessly we
go; whittier We know not. Nature
kindly provides an anS,thetic for tho
body when the spirit leaves it. Pre-.
vious to that moment and in prepare
ton for it, respiration becomes feeble,
generally slow and short, often accom-
plished by long inspirations and short,
sudden expirations, so that the blood
is steadily less and less oxygenated. AT
the same time, the heart acts with cor
responding debility, producing slow,
feeble and often Irregular pulse. AS
this process goes on, the blood is not
only driven to the head with dimin-
ished force and in less quantity, but

1t has recently been observed that putrd
urine has the property to remove grease and
dirt from the articles with which it comes
into contact. At first it was thought that
this property was due to the carbonate of
ammonia present in the urine, but subse-
quent experiments hav, shown that this ac.
tion depends entirely on the phosphates Of
the ak allies. 4 soap was therefore manu-
featured containing certain percentage OF
phosphate of soda. which has proved TO be

On Digestion.

1t is incomplete digestion of the en-.
tire quantity of food crammed into the
stomach during business holrs, and
when the mind and vital forces are
completely swallowed up in tho con-
temptation of money getting, which

ton of disease You "rob Peter to

Not freedom from anxiety only, but
absolute rest of both body and mind.
for half an hour, should prscede the
midday meal.
The impolite if not barbarous habit,
fostered by many Americans, to the in
tense disgust and subject to the ridicule
of travellers from abroad, is the un-
seemly haste in which some persons
rush away from the dinner table with
their mouths crammed with food, and
with strangulation imminent complete
the process of mastication, and degluti-
ton en- route to the counting room or
work shop. Let us hasten slowly"
Life is sufficiently long for all needful
purposes if not stunted by improper
practices.
A genial, companionable, and even
temper, enriched by good humor, and
a lively anticipation Of the feast, will
be the most provocative of those con.
ditions on which digestion depends.
The most prolific source Of disease
now affecting my countrymen, may be
traced to full midday dinners.
It is not SO much the quality of the
food you eat as the quantity whfch
invites diseases. Nine-tenths of my
fellow-men engorge themselves with

favorable to longevity. The hermit
miser lives more fully in accord with

SLAVERY IN AFRIoA.-The idea that
slavery in Africa disappeared with the
abolition of the foreign slave-trade, an
idea which seems to be prevalent both
in Europe and in America, is neverthe-
less mistaken one. Slavery not only
exists, but its evils are very much ag-
gravated by the fact that for want of a
foreign market the supply is in excess
OF the demand. The value of the
slave has deprecated until the preser-
walton of his life and health has be.
come matter of no consequence to his
owner. The increased and growing
export trade of Africa is the product of
slave labor. The slave, not so we'll fed
or cared for, is raising groundnuts in
some distant part of his own country,
as far away from his home and his kin
as though he were cultivating sugar on
a Cuban plantation. 1t is safe to say
that money and sympathy expended
upon the negro slave has in no wise
ameliorated his condition. On the
contrary, the trade which was made
contraband and abolished at sea has
added to its cruelties the thousand
times greater evils of transportation
overland through the jungles and
marshes, where hundreds perish by the
wayside from famine and exposure

Ingenious is the American rogue. A
poultry Spectator in Warren county,
Penn, buys chickens in the country
and writes out receipt for the farmer
to sign. The point of his pencil invari-
ably breaks off just before the sigma.
ture is reached, and he produces a
fountain pen from his pocket. The
body OF the receipt is written in pencil
and the farmers name in ink. When
the Spectator goes to town he grasses
all the pencil marks and writes out in
ink promissory note for 500 or $3.50,
and has it discounted by bank.

Last Days.
BY ELIZABETH STUAET rHELrs.

The long, brown beach lies sleeping in the Fun,
The hot, white noon leans idly To the bay,
Cloud upon folded cloud, above my head,
Opens the blossom of the perfect day.
There is a colon like living soul
CponI the lslf.revesled but hal'-yoiled sky
Glad to sad eyes, recllne- the flushed, full tide,
Celestial body that shall never die.
Ny prayers look out like orphaus through their
tears;
Ny heart cries out, Oh life . Oh life! for
thee.
But One across The water drawcth nigh,
Too kind and 50 too dumb TO answer me.

WHERE ?-Where shall we find our
aristocrats? Twenty years ago this one
made candles, that one sold candles and
butter, another butchered. q fourth
carried on q distillery, another was o
contractor on canals, others were mer-
chants and mechanics. They are ac-
quainted with both ends of society, as
their children will be after them, though
it will not do to say so out loud. For
often you find these toiling worms hatch
butterAies-apd they live about year.
Death brings division of property, and
it brings now fnanciers. The old gen.
tieman is discharged, the young gentle
man takes revenues and begins to travel
toward poverty, which he reaches be-
fore death, or his children do if he
does not, so that, il fact. there is a sort
of moneyed rank; it is not hereditary /;
it is accessible to all. The father grubs
and grows rich his children strut and
use the money. The children in turn
inherit pride and go shiftless to power
ty. Next their children, re-invigorated
by fresh plebeian blood and by the smell
of the clod, come up again. Thus So
ciety, like tree, draws its sap from the
earth.
