A New Occupation for Women.

With the exception CT the double
bass (violin) and the heavier brass-in-
deed, l am net sure that these excep-
tons are necessary-there is no instru-
ment of the orchestra which woman
cannot play success fully. The extent,
depth, and variety of musical capability
among the women of the United States
are continued new sources Of astonish-
ment and pleasure TO this writer, al
though his pursuits are not specially of
a nature to bring them before his atten-
ton. 1t may be asserted without ex-
travagance that there is no limit TO the
possible achievements of our country
women in this behalf, if their efforts be
once turned in the right direction.
This direction is, unquestionably, the
orchestra. All the world has learned
to play the piano. Let our young la
dies-always saving, of course,
those who have the gift for
the special instrument-leave that
and address themselves to the violin,
the flute, the oboe, the harp, the clar
ionet, the bassoon, the kettle drum. 1t
is more than possible that upon some
of these instruments the superior dain
tiness OF the female tissue might finally
make the woman a more successful
player than the man. On the flute, for
instance, certain combination of deli
cacy with fexibility III tae lips is alb
solutely necessary to bring fully out
that passionate yet velvety tone herein
before alluded to; and many male play
ers, of all requisite qualifications so far
as manual execution is concerned, will
be forever debarred from attaining It
by reason of their intractable, rough
lips, which will give nothing but a cor
respondingly intractabe, rough tone.
The same, in less degree, may be said
of the oboe and bassoon. Beside, the
qualities required to make a perfect or
chestral player are far more often
found in women than in men; for
these qualities are patience, feryor and
fidelity, combined with dizziness of
hand aud quick intuitiveness of soul.
To put the matter in another view,
no Que at all acquainted with this sub
lect will undervalue the benefits to fe-
male health TO be brought about by the
systematic use of indinstruments.
Out of personal knowledge, the writer
pleases himself often with picturing
how many consumptive chests, dismal
shoulders and melancholy spines would
disappear ; how many rosy cheeks
would blossom; how many erect forms
delight the eyes which mourn over
their drooping-under the stimulus of
those long, equable and generous in
SEPARATIONS and expirations which the
execution of every moderately difficult
piece on q wind.instrument requires

An Ornament to the Profession.

A student applied to one of the dis
trict courts CT California for admission
TO practice, and an examination commit
tee of one was appointed by the Judge
to ascertain his qualifications. The ex-
animation began with:
"Do you smoke, sir?"
CT do, sir"
Have you spare cigar?"
Yes"
"Now. sir, what is the first duty of a
lawyer"
To collect fees"
Right; what is the second?"
To increase the number of his
clients"
When does your position toward
your client change?'
When making bill of costs"
Explain"
We are then antagonistic. I as
sumo the character OF plaintiff and he
becomes the defendant"
"A suit once decided, how do you
stand with the lawyer conducting the
other side?"
Cheek by iowl."
Enough, sir; you promise to be-
come an ornament to your profession,
and l wish you success. Now, are you
aware of the duty you owe me?"
Perfectly"
Describe it,"
1t is to invite you to drink"
But suppose dechne?"
Candidate scratches his head.
There is no instance of the kind on
record in the books"
You are right; and the confidence
with which you make the assertion
shows you have read the law attentive
ly. Let's take the drink, and I'll sign
your certificate"

IT is reported that young man at
New Haven, CT, has made discovery
in the practical application of electrici-
~ that is destined to result in revo-
luton in the milling business of the
world. While about the mills he no.
ticed that the electricity generated by
the betting driving the purifying ma
chimes attracted the bran in such guam
titles that the belts were completely
and thickly covered. Following out
the idea suggested, he perfected ma
chine which he has patented, and which
it is claimed, will do away with the
elaborate ma ,hinery and tedious meth
DDS now used by mills in boiling; also
that all danger from explosions will be
Obyiated.

The first musical instrument built
on the plan of an organ, with pipes and
tubes, was constructed in 157.

The shamrock used by the Irish was
introduced by Patrick McAlpine, since
called st. Patrick, as a simile of the
Trinity. When he could not make the
people understand him by his words,
he showed the irish stem of clover or
trefoil, thereby giving an ocular demon
stration of the possibility of three
uniting into one, and one into three.
ROWLAND and Oliver were two of the
most famous In the list of Charlie
magnes twelve peers, and their exploits
are rendered SO ridiculously and equally

from thence arose that saying, among

signify the matching one incredible lie
with another.
A MAN In active life requires thirty
six ounces of solid food per day-say
nine ounces of animal and twenty
seven ounces OF egetable-according
to established scales of diet in the En-.
glish and French army and navy regu.
lations. OF food and drink a man will
consume about 1900 pounds per an
mum. OF course, many persons con-
sumo much more, but this is an average
estimate.
FANS were introduced into France in
the thirteenth century, but, instead of
being articles of use, they were by the
pilgrims consecrated to divine service,
and the Benedictines state that the
priests made use of fan called fabel-
lum to keep the flies from falling into
the chalice. The custom was of long con-
tinuance. In the sixteenth century,
the Italians who came into France with
Catherine de Medici, brought fans into
domestic use. The women wore them
at that time suspended from the neck
by gold chains. Henry III. and his
favorites brought the fan into vogue.
During the reign of Louis XIV, the
fan was an indispensable article of a
lady's toilet. They were brought to
England from France, and were used by
females to hide their faces in church.
In the British Museum there are fan
handles and other articles of Egyptian
manufacture used anciently by women.

The Superintendent of the Pitts
burgh schools highly commends the
use of the daily paper as a textbook.
The lively interest the pupils would
take in the geography and history OF
affairs connected with daily events
would serve to impress both studies
deeply upon their minds. Ample illus
tration of the interest possible i'll such
studies is afforded by that which was
aroused in the minds of many readers
during the war of the Rebellion, the
Franco .Prussian war, and, to some ex-
tent, the late Russo-Turkish war. The
curiosity excited in the places at which
great events are transporting is taken
advantage of by business men; for, dur
ing both the Prussian war and the
Turkish war, not only were cheap maps
designed and sold, but insurance COM
panies and other concerns advertised
themselves by means of maps of the
"seat of war;" which they distributed
gratis. The human nature which shrewd
men of business understand might well
be worth the study OF those who engage
in the instruction of youth.

eighty are at work, and the annual yield
from these is considered as from 1885,

which is considered by many to be cap
