Something Like a Conservatory.

Probably the largest private conserva-
tory in the world is that just completed
for the King Of Holland in the Schloss
Park, adjoining his favorite country resi-
dence. Its dimensions are, indeed,
enormous, for it contains above $4,000
cubic yards of space, while its glass
dome is 80 feet in height and $50 in di-
ameter. This imposing cupola is
flanked by two lofty towers, resembling
Turkish minarets in shape, which give
an Oriental character to the whole struc-
ture. The hot-water pipes laid down
for the heating of the gigantic green
house are no less than $4,000 feet long.
Among the tropical plants which have
been purchased by his Majesty for the
adornment of his new conservatory are
two huge palm trees, which arrived at
Schloss in the early part of last week
from the royal forcing-house at Enghlen.
| Twenty-one horses were harnessed to
the platform on wheels whereupon re-
posed the smaller of these magnificent
trees, the trunk of which measures 40
feet in length and its crown of fronds
"a feet in diameter. This tree weighs
two tons and a half, while its compan-
ion, a much larger specimen of the date
palm, 60 feet in height, weighs nearly q
ton more. They have been planted
under the very center of the great dome,
where there is plenty OF room for them
to grow as fast as they please for the
next half century. Telegraph. b.

Feverish Love.

The acclimated young man who has to
work for his living can't afford to marry
an unacclimated girl, one who has not
had the fever. Even the richest mer-
chants and largest property owners
complain of the expense OF running
away and summering up North for four
months in the year. The acclimated
Girl is treasure in Memphis. She may
not have yellow hair, but if she has had
yellow fever she is worth a mint OF mon
ey as a household gift. The unaccli-
mated young man who has to work for
a living can not afford to marry at all
because he can not pick himself and wife
up every summer and skedaddle towards
the polar star Among the counting
questions to be propounded prior to
asking girl to marry are the important
ones: "Miss -. have you ever had
the yellow fever?n "Was it typical
casep' Are you certain your physician
was correct in his diagnosis OF youl
casep'' If the answers are not quite sat
isfactory other questions might be pu
that would develop the desired facts

Teachers and Task-masters.

The public have not held teachers TO
their true responsibility. We send a
young lad or young girl to school, and
find that, while we are paying out
great deal Of money for them, they are
gaining nothing. We complain, and
are informed that our children are not
industrious, that they do not seem inter-
ested IN their studies, that they are alb
sorbed in play, ETC., etc. In ninety
nine cases in hundred, our disappoint-
ment is entirely the fault of the teacher.
He or she is simply incompetent for the
duty they have undertaken. A first
class teacher always has good pupils.
Lack of interest in study is always the
result of poor teaching. We send boy
to college and find that he regards his
studies as grind-that he is only inter-
ested in getting good marks, and that ne
is getting no scholarly tastes, and WIN
ming no scholarly delights. Weinquire,
and find him in the hands Of a young
tutor, without experience, who really
pretends to be no more than a task
master, and who knows nothing, and
seems to care nothing, about the office
Of teaching. The placing of large masses
of Young men in the hands of inexperi-
| enced persons, who do not pretend to do
more than to set tasks and record the
manner in which they are performed,
without guidance or assistance, is
gross imposition of the college upon a
trusting public, and it is high time that
an outcry so determined and persistent
is raised against it that it shall procure
a REFORM scrtbner for December.

The Library Of the British Museum.

Perhaps the largest collection of books
in the world is in the British Museum.
The library contains over a million vol
umes. To become "reader'' in this
national library and have this wealth of
literature at a PERSONS disposal, is a
thing much desired among London stu
dents of all classes. Cassell's Magazine
gives, this month, an interesting account
of Reading at the British Museum. -
A person must make application to the
chief librarian, specifying the applicant s
profession, residence and the purpose
for which admission is sought. This
must be backed by some householder,
who must have personal knowledge of
the applicant and who vouches for his
good behavior. If this application is
satisfactory the ticket is sent and is re-
Movable at the discretion of the ibrari-
an. The reading room is an immense
circle, with domed roof of glass and
iron. There are three tiers of book
shelves, reached by two galleries.
These works the reader may take down
and consult, as they are all books of ref
erence. The great national library is in
an oblong building that surrounds the
reading room. In order to get book
from this vast storehouse, the reader
writes on card the name of book, date
of printing, name of author, place Of
publication and size of book, all of which
information can be found in the cata
logue. He then sets down his signature
and the number of his seat, after which
he drops the card in one of three iror
baskets and returns to his seat. In ter
or fifteen minutes the book is placed be
side him. When the reader is done
with it he must present it at the ticket
box, that comprises the initial letter o.
his name-for instance, if his name be
gins with @ he presents the book at thu
box labeled P Z, and receives back hi
applications card, Cancelled. The read
ing seats radiate from the center to th'
walls in double rows seven seats in
row. The reader is provided with
comfortable stuff ff-bottomed chair, q ha
rack, a foot bar, two pens, quill ant
steel, ink, blotter, paper knife and writ
ing table. On the readers right hand
shelf folds down and holds his extr
volumes, and on his left bookholde
opens at any angle he desires. Th
floor is carpeted with soft, noiseless ma
terial and strict silence is enjoined.

BELLEVUE, La, THURSDAY DECEMBER H. 1879

be remembered by readers that Camp
bell was fastidious and difficult to please
in regard to niceties of language. With
his mind still running in the same
groove, he went to bed and fell asleep.
While he slept the idea flashed through
his brain, clothed in fitting and adequate
words. He started up in bed, suddenly
wide awake, rose, struck a light, sat
down at table, and instantly wrote
the well known couplet:
'Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore
And events to come cast their shadows before
The poet then went to sleep again. In
the morning he made single alteration
in the couplet, writing for "events to
come," looming events" the shape in
which, of course, the lines appeared in
the completed poem.-Engl,sh Maga-
zine

What Stanley is Doing in Africa.

ri All alike will be interested in the fol-
lowing extract from letter which has
lust been received from Mr.. Stanley, the
famous African explorer, by an init
mate friend. The letter is dated from
Banana Point, at the mouth OF the
Congo River, September 13, and says;
GAN this year have been very busy
and have worked hard. have equipped
one expedition on the east coast; have
reconstructed another-namely, the In
ternational-of whose misfortunes we
have heard so often, and have explored
personally several new districts on the
east coast. Having finished my work
satisfactorily to myself, my friends and
those who sent me, l came through
the Mediterranean two years and four
months ago, on that glorious day on
which we sighted old ocean after our
rash descent Of the Livingstone. :
And now l begin another mission seri-
ously and deliberately, with grand
object in view. / am charged to open
and keep open, if possible-al such
districts and countries as may explore
for the commercial world. The mission
is supported by philanthropic society
which numbers noble-minded men of
several nations. 1t is not a religious
society, but my instructions are entirely
of that spirit. No violence must be
used, and wherever rejected the
mission must withdraw to seek
another field. We have abundant
means, and therefore we are to
purchase the very atmosphere if any
demands be made upon us, rather than
violently oppose them. In fact, we must
freely buy of all and every, rather than
resent, and you know the sailors COM
mandment-sObey orders if it breaks
owners'-is easier to keep than to stand
upon ones rights. This is a principle
which I have always attempted to fol.
low, but frequently the demands were SC
extortionate that they exceeded the value
of my property. However, this time 9
chief must have large mouth indeed
that can not be filled with good things
A years trial will demonstrate whether
progress can be made and tolerance bt
granted under this new system. Insomt
regions experience tells us the plan ma,
work wonders. God grant it success
everywhere! / have Is Europeans ant
about 200 natives with me. 1t is too
early yet to say much of them; bu
most of the natives seem not.worth thei
rations. However, patience! We shal
see what time will make of us all am
how it will mold us all anew for the goo
, work. Who is there in Great Rritai
that will not wish well to this new ente,

Water in the Cars in India.

AT the principal stations the native
passengers are served with water by a
Brahmin, from whom, being OF the
highest caste, all persons may take with
out defilement. He goes along the train
with his brass vessels; a sudra, or low
caste man, stoops, and in his open
hands placed together and raised to the
level of his mouth, receives the precious
liquid. The vessel of the Brahmin is
not touched, else he would be defiled:
A Brahmin asks water, and is served
with it in the smaller vessels, from
which he drinks, there being no defile-
ment between Brahmin and Brahmin.

PITH AND POINT.

CHICKENS stuffed with oysters ought
to feel good.
EVERY body gives advice; few take it
and none act upon it.
A MINcE PIE at bedtime is the short
est route to the menagerie.
"PAY as you go" is good motto,
but the theaters make you pay as you
come in.
Mr.. HALLECK, in his well known
poem called "Bozzaris; or, The Night
Before Thanksgiving Day." says:
An hour passed on-the Turkey woke;
That bright dream was his last;
He woke to die mid fire fire ,vs,s anu snose, st1okc
And bright blades flashing fast.

THE melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year;
OF buckwheat cakes and scarlet rash,
And five cent lager beer.
Ueaped in the hollows OF the grove,
The autumn leaves lie dead,
And festivals and cabbages

The robin and the wren are flown,
And from the shrubs the jay,
And by the fire the loafer toasts

JURIEs sometimes give very curious
| verdicts. One of the most remarkable
| was that found by Washoe jury in u
case of milk-stealing. The prisoner
was tried on charge of stealing milk
from another mans cow. TWAS proved
that he had frequently MIXED the ami
NAL at night, thereby causing his neigh
Dor great vexation and annoyance. The
jury desired to express in their verdict
their sense of the aggravated nature OF
the offense. They therefore found the
prisoner "guilty of milking the COW IN

JENNIE JUNE writes that George
Francis Train has relinquished for years
the use of meat, tea and coffee, and
stimulants of all kinds, and lives singu-
larly pure and abstemious life, as strict
ly ascetic as any monk of old, only, in
stead of shutting himself up in cell, he
lives out of doors, in the free air OF
Heaven. He looks the picture of superb
health, and says he enjoys a freedom
from all ailments unknown to those who
defile themselves with the ordinary
brute methods of eating and living. His
mind, however, is full of belief in i'm.
