Not only the beautifully carved panels with their

eyesore to our citizens and to those who visit

TICKETS FOR THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.

To THE EDITOR OF HERALD
In peerng out of my window few mornings ago
and noticing the small boys and girls trudging along
to school through the rain and slush-most Of them
looking very wet and miserable indeed-I asked my
self. Must they not be very uncomfortable for the
rest of the day3 and do not many OF them go home
sick and fcverish? OF course. And then the thought
occurred. why could not the street railroad COM
panes issue school tickets at cent each. for
the sole use of children going to and from school?
Such plan would yield large income TO the COM
panies for hundreds of little would ride. and
generally ut such hours when the have not much
business. The benefit to the childreps health. to
their days comfort at school and To their happiness
at home would be. indeed, incalculsble. Let the
School Commissioners and railroad boards put their
heads together and see IL they could not accom-
plish 1t. b. u.

GoLpsMITu MAID. We have heard n
great deal from Eastern travellers of the
wonderful attachment which exists be-
tween the horse an ! his master in Oient-
al Innds, but we doubt il anything more
interesting has ever been told than the
following story Of Goldsmith Maid: Re-
Gently, Charley Cochrnne, who was for
many years her faithful groom, arriving
from California, and wishing to see the
grand old trottag mare aud her colt,
called on Mr.. Smith, her owner, to ub
tain his permission to visit Fashion Stud
Farm in New jersey. Mr.. Smith ac
compunied Cochrane to the farm and on
arriving there remarked: "Chtrley, the
Maud is very jealous Of her colt, is very
cross; and will permit no one to approach
it," Cochmne arrainged that Goldsmith
Maid should hear / is voice before she
saw him, and, although they had not
seen each other for two years, a loud
whinny presently assured the visitors
lllhl lIlc Ilhlt ilt'Nl lbCpSlil lltu Allp iiihi
voice. Cochrane next showed himself,
when a touching scene occurred. The old
queen of the turf, who for months would
not allow any one to approach her, maxi
ing use Of both heels aud teeth if it was
attempted, rushed with II bound to her
old friend forgetting even her colt, and

nose ic his face, played with his whi-kers
and showed by her very action that her
heart was full Of jay to see him. Direct
ly the colt came up To them, and the old
mare was delighted when Charley placed
his hand on the little fellow. When
Cochrane left the place the mare follow
ed him to the gate, whining for him
even after he had passed out Of sight.

KEEP YouH SECRETS. - The whole
world is full Of people craving for cona>
denco- people to whom It secret is like
gold in chid's pocket, burning to be
issued. Those who are high in rank, and
blessed with every advantage, are often
tornentcd for the want Of n true friend
meaning thereby some one TO whom they
can conhde secrets. And on those who
will simply take them and keep them,
they are willing to be,tow friendship. To
those who would be in such confidence,
it is enough that they follow the advice
already given, OF never being directly or
Indirectly the means Of disseminating
gossip of any kind.
In connection with this subject, the
reader may properly be advised against
curiosity. There are people who cannot
see lotter without IA craving to know TO
whom it is addressed, or who cannot find
anything written lying on table. with
out Involuntary picking 1t up. The
Paul Pry is the meanest character OF So
cety, and he who would feel superior in
strength and in integrity should strive
vigorously to have nothing in common
with such type Of baseness. Bear con
tinually in mind the fact that in the art
of con versation the secret or success lies
not so much in knowing what to say as in
what to avoid saying.

A CRYsTALIZED WoMAN.--Another
very rrmalkuble instance, we are in
formed, ua- just come to light rs to the
preserving or petriiying effects OF nitrate
of soda. \ Wcll>kroWn aud Influential
city firm. who have extensive connec
tions with South American planters. min-
ers, ETC., have recently received from
Peru curiosity in the shape of what
may be termed cryst,ti2ed female body,
which, ms their corIe, pondents advise
them, wns some time since di,coveied bv
n set Of miners at Pisagur, in tAAt coun.
try. completely imheddcd in one Of the
great nitrate of soda deposit, peculiar to
the district. The body is Described as
having the appearance Of pctriIicd
mummy, and is stated to he in singu-
lar stnte of preservation. This curiosity
has alrendy been seen by some Of our best
known natuni;>t>, and it is believed th"t
the woman. who apparently was Of mid
die age, must have peri>hed through nc
cdent or design at n remote period of the
past, some even go so far rs to say 1000
or 3 3,000 years ago. That her death was
violent there Is little room to doubt, in
asmuch as hen discovered the body was
in recumbent position, partly on the
side, with chest slightly crushed rs if
through n severe fall, the legs drawn mp,
and the fingers and toes contracted. The
hair is in most perfect state, aud main.
tains its contact with the skull in pn
culiarly astonishing manner; and the
mouth is open, displaying the teeth and
tongue, which are plainly visible. The
ca trcmties are remarkably small and
perfect, even the nails being in their res
pective places. The hair ON the head, we
should add, appears to be plated in II
very peculiar manner, and is of great
length and thickness, though in some
parts detached, owing to part of the skull
having been destroyed. The curiosity at
present is at the office of the firm, who
have imported it from South America,
but arrangements are being made that it
may be publicly shown Mt the Westmin-
istcr Aquarium at an early dny.-ERg-
