comprehensive view of the achievements re- responsibilities and influence of women. Be- ginning with sketches of woman in her ca pacities of mother, wife and maiden, he has carefully selected from fact, poetry and fic- ton those types which best deserve admira-
 ton and imitation. In regard to ''womans sphere" the author, while insisting on the mental and moral quality of woman, has not pretended tha. she can do ali that man does or that it is desirable that she should. But he has maintained that marriage is not neces- ssrily the goal to which all her thoughts and exertions must be directed Considering the work of woman apart from its domestic and social aspects, her labors in the field of litera- ture are reviewed, with the view of showing that they have increased in value and import anee proportionately with the increased free dom and educational development of the sex.
 Woman's work in art-as painter. sculptor, musician, singer, actress-forms the subject of separate chapter, and woman as the be- roine, enthusiast and social reformer Is next considered. An especially valuable part of the book is the second division, in which Is given full information concerning the facili- ties now enjoyed by English gentlewomen of obtaining the ''higher culture" The work occupies comparatively fresh and novel ground, and is thoroughly excellent in tone and purpose. It is well indexed Published by Oassell, Pelter, Galpin & Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

Sand-Buried Oysters.

To the Editor oftRe JOURNAL AND COURIER
 In your paper a few days ago I noticed Q statement of the loss of .30,ooo bushels of oysters, in or near this city, by being covered with sand. Had those oysters belonged to ma I should have procured three or foue iron toothed harrows lashed them together abreast, weighted them down with pig-iron, then, with chain, attached them to steam tug, and given the bed 8 thorough narrowing. The result, I think, would have been that the oys- sers would have been found on top and the sand at the hottom. P. P.

man, who proposes that the Newark gas works in which hundreds of tons of coal arc con- sumed every week, be converted into ore natory. He claims that the furnaces and the iron cradles used for running coal into the re- torts at the gas works are peculiarly adapted for consuming bodies and preserving the ashes Besides, on the theory that a human body will yield, in burning, $50 feet of gas, 1t would enable the gas company to incinerate without charge. It is probable that this mans corpse would yield more than $50 feet of gas if it were burned soon.

Learning in the German Army.
The Officers Encouraged to Study Sci cnce, Languages, Music, Sc.
 From the London Newa1

Tho Officers Encouraged to Study Sci
 cnce, Languages, Music, &c.
 [rrom the London News.l
 recent circular of tho German Minister of War has exhorted Oolonels to urge their subaltsrns toward the study of modern Ian- guages. An advantage which the German Army-or at least the Prussian section of it has over the armies of other countries is that studious habits are the rule rather than the exception among officers, because it is known that proficiency in any branch of knowledge whatsoever is almost sure to bring it's recom- pense. This does not apply to languages only, but to science, art, and even to accom- plshments which, from military point of view, are generally considered of minor im- portance, such as musical talent and facility of elocution. There are some ledgers at the Berlin War Office in which hundreds of off, cers are entered as being possessed of special gifts, so that when Government wants officers for any particular service it can always lay hands on the proper men. If, for instance, 1t were desired to have the military resources of Persia examined, the records would be search ed for the names of officers having acquain- tance with the Shah's dominions; or, to take a more familiar example, if Louis IT. of Ba- varia were to visit Berlin, the staff chosen to attend him would probably be selected from officers noted for their great love of music. A German Colonel who remarks special aptl- tades in one of his officers, is bound to take note of them, and make note of the same to headquarters. Meanwhile it is his duty to encourage the officer to perfect himself in his attsinments. It Is not too much to say that if the War Office wanted to compose of hand staff of good fellows for the entertainment of some captive potentate, 1t could designate at once batch of officers skilled in comic acting, singing, or endowed with knack of turning society verses. Indeed, something of this kind was effected when Napoleon III. was q prisoner at Wilhelnshohe, for all the officers appointed to attend him spoke French with fuency that astonished him, while one of them had been chosen purposely because he had written numbar of treatises on the conquest of Gaul, and was likely to prove oompanionable. Gas he did prove.) to the i'm psrlal author of the ''Life of Cesar." Start ing from the idea that those who have to work a complicated machine should know all it's capabilities, this German system of cata- logning the divers talents in the army is most practical. For one thing, it insures that any work which the War Office understands shall be done by competent hands.

It says: But If by estimation or apology there shall be any identification of the party with those who have disregarded their duty so notably, then we may look for a well deserved defeat.

Relics OF a LONDON BANKING House.

When, two or three years ago, Messrs. Child
rummaged out the contents of the two rooms
which they occupied over the street in Tenn
pie Bar, and where their ledgers and old
checks had been deposited year by year since
the Revolution of 1888, if not earlier, they
came upon variety of curious papers, illus
trative of the early history, not merely of their
own clearinghouse, but of the 90 goldsmith's -
business out of which it rose into being.
Among other cUriOSd, says the Whitehall
Reriso," they found one of poor Nell Gwynne s
receipts. signed in her loose, struggling hand,
" E. e.; also several receipts and checks of
John, Duke of Marlborough, and his imperious
wife Sarah, who is said to have driven down
to the bank in her coach from Marlborough
House, and to have saved it by her purse from
ruin by run" on it, They found also let
tiers, bills, receipts, and checks signed by the
Dukes of Bedford, Manchester, Somerset,
Beaufort, and Bridgewater; Harley, Earl of
Oxford, Pope's Lord Bolingbroke, the exiled
Earl Of Fowls, Lord Trevor, and many other
noblemen, who lived near the then fashionable
district Of Drury-lane and Lincoln's -inn-felds.
Another curiosity was receipt signed by the
infamous Titus Oates. These have been all
carefully collected and mounted in three scrap
books; and it is possible that some day or
other they may be photographed, like every
body else.-LORd01 Literary World

King John of Abyssinia.

King John of Abyssinia, although only in
his thirty-eighth year, has already proved
himself man of no ordinary calibre, both as
a soldier and as sovereign. He has thrice
defeated and all but destroyed the invading
forces of Egypt, while at the same time max
ing head against the disaffection of two pow
erful vassals, who have since made submits
sion and accepted commands in his army.
Among his immediate attendants is the Ras
Warenia, the conquered Chief of the Amhara
province, who seems quite content with his
position at the court of his cOnQueror. A trav-
eler, who spent some time with the King in
his camp at Ambachuro, describes him as
short in stature, with small hands and feet,
but perfectly proportional and possessing
great strength and endurance. His finely-cut
profile, delicate mouth and chin, and almost
feminine smallness of ear, are striking enough
in barbaric African Chief He is grand to
see on his beautiful charger" continues the
narrator, carrying his spear and shield,
bareheaded and barefocted, with only the
great toe of each foot in the stirrup, which is
merely silver ring. He is q splendid shot,
and very fond OF firearms. His demeanor is
extremely simple, being entirely devoid of
the boastfulness and vanity that distinguish
most savage Princes and he is naturally of a
studious disposition, well read in the laws of
Ethiopia, and Of remarkable temperance and
piety of life" King Johns ceaseless activity
and wonderful capacity for business recall
the popular descriptions of Frederick the
Great, to whose personal habits his own are
in some points closely akin. He rises every
morning at three and reads the Psalms of
David by candle-lght for two hours. Then
comes church, after which he holds his
court of justice for several hours, often before
tasting food. The rest of the day is divided
between state affairs and the native sport of
g0hahS, a sort of javelin-throwing, like the
Moorish djsrid The evening hours are spent
in study, and by he is in bed, as BELTS such
an early riser. The Kings ordinary dress is
the simple native kuH-ie, or white blanket,
with a crimson stripe along the left side
These are the symbolical colors of the Abys-
sinia Church, the white typifying the limo
cence of our Saviour, and the crimson His
atoning blood. The King processes great
friendship for England, and has placed
translation of the Queens letter to him in
every church of his kingdom. One OF this
model rulers London agents was the late
well-known publisher, Mr.. II enry S. King, in
whose store on Cornhill the autograph Of
" John, King OF Ethiopia" is still to be seen.

Filtered water is supposed to be perfectly
pure; no matter how foul the source, If on its
way to the table there be filter interposed it
is expected to arrest and retain all impurities,
and ever after keep the supply fresh and pure.
This is grave error, and there are many
cases on record where from neglect or other
cause the filter itself has become the means of
spreading death and destruction. The action
of filter is two-fold. being both chemical and
mechanical. When n stream of water is allow
ed to flow through bag of flannel or other
material, or passes through bank of gravel
or box of charcoal, all of the impurities which
are suspended, not dissolved, in the liquid are
caught and retained, for the fluid in percola-
tion through the iuterstices the filter is I'M
able to carry with it anything excepting what
is actually in solution. OF course, all the i'm
purities that are in this manner extracted from
the water simply remain in the filter and soon
will stop it up, and either prevent the flow of
the water or cause it TO seek some new chan
mel; hence the necessity of frequently exam
lining the instrument TO ascertain that it is
working properly, and does not need removal
| ting. During its passage through the filter
the water is spread out over large surface,
and being much exposed to the air it absorbs
large quantity of oxygen, and if there be dis
solved any oxidizable substance it is seized
upon by the oxygen and transformed into some
new combination. This is the case with many
of the organic impurities dissolved in water,
so that often it may be purified by simply al
lowing it TO run in a thin sheet over a board.
Anything, however, which is both soluble and
not oxidizable will pass through the filter in
tact, as may be easily proved, for no amount
of fltering will extract lump of sugar or
pinch of salt. To be effective, therefore, the
filter must be kept clean, and afford plenty of
exposed surface, and it is useful only in pro-
portion as these conditions are maintained.
A large box filled with sand and gravel, if the
contents be frequently changed forms one of
the best of filters. Better still box of char
coal, for here the innumerable pores left by
burning gives an immense amount of surface
exposed to the air. Even sponge or wooden
bag, if often washed, makes good instrument,
and will remove much of the impurity from
water

Railway Improvement.

Nh. Edmund Smith, ofthe Pennsylvania Cen
tral, in recent address gave some very inter
esting facts regarding the progress and i'm
provements in railways: Thirty years ago a
daily traffic of 1000 tons, representing ,00O,-
600 tons per year, was regarded as the max
imum capacity of double-track road between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Now it has
reached IL ,o00, geo, and has by no means at
tanned the limit of its capacity. The coat of
moving one ton one mile under the most favor
able circumstances few years ago was one
cent; it is now reduced to one-half cent. He
attributed these advances and reductions
chiefly to the general introduction of steel
rails, which, as he incidentally noticed, were
furnished to-day at iwo-thirds the cost of iron
rail thirty years ago. He looked for improve
ments and advances in railroad systems and
economy in the future quite as pronounced as
those that have been witnessed in the past
One Of his ideas is, that the main lines Of
