owner in the Detroit river, endeavoring
to tempt him to take that amount for his

A Wisconsin COW with a persistent
cough that baffled the skill of veteri-
nary surgeon to cure died, and upon
opening her windpipe to discover the
cause of the irritation there was found
in the upper part of the lung a live
striped frog of ordinary size.
Eleven children at four births was the

Ten out of the eleven are alive.
While riding on horseback, john FL
Ter, Of Alden, Iowa, saw coming from
the sky ball of fire, apparently about
the size of -four barrel. He was par
alyzed with fear, and saw the globe
strike the head of the animal he rode,
when he tainted. Upon coming to his
senses he found that the horse was dead,
the head of the animal being scared as
if by a red-hot iron.
The queerest companions for "a man
are those of an old man in New Orleans.
He has mania for spiders, and in his

lighted at seeing the spiders seize thei1

individuality OF the Horse.

One thing curious and interesting
about the horse is its individuality. This
Is characteristic common to all animals,
undoubtedly, to q greater OR less degree,
but surprisingly SO, we think, in the
case Of the horse. How this character
lstic varies in horses is well known by
any one who has ever inteligently drawn
rein over good roadster. The indi-
vlduality Of horses varies as much as
that OF men. Every one has different
mental as well as physical makeup.
Some horses seem to have brains, to
have sense, are quick to understand and
obey the least sign, motion, or word Of
their master others are not inaptly
termed "lunk- heads" always awkward,
numbering about, difficult to teach, and
never make anything" in horseolog-
zeal sense. 1t may be true that these
traits In a horse are sometimes due to
the habits of his driver or owner, and
that the horse itself may not be so much
to blame for his ignorance, but however
much he may be excused on this score
there is a surprising difference In these
mental qualities of horses. Some men
drive and use horses for. years and yet

there is between SO many barrels or

A Sphere for Women.

There IS one sphere Of usefulness,
open to all women, SO natural, so right,
so especially sacred to women, that /
only wonder many more do not enter
upon it, especially those not of the low
er but of the middle classes, who require
to earn an honorable living. An ordi-
nary sick nurse must prepare herself to
meet every form of human suffering, but
there is one form of inevitable and hope
ful suffering to which women are con
demned, in which formerly only their
own sex ministered to them. Without
entering upon medical discussion, wish
to give it as my distinct opinion, in
which numbers more agree, that women
are far the best to attend women in their
hour of trial, not only as monthly
nurses, but-why shirk the old Bible
word ?-midwives. We are apt to forget
that childbirth is not disease, but a
natural event, in which nature Gun gen.
orally take care Of herself, if aided by
care, caution, experience, and, above all,
patience. 1t is this quality Of patience,
SO much greater in our sex than the
other, which makes it desirable, if for
no other reason, that the obstetric art
should fall exclusively into the hands Of
women-not ignorant, but educated
women-who, at the critical hour, and
afterward, can use their brains as well as
their hearts, their intelligence and SYM
pathy as well as their practical skill and
experience. Those who 60 much about
the world-I do not mean the gay, but
the Woodworking and understanding
world-must have noticed how very
many women die in childbirth. Not so
much amid the upper classes and lower
who have often none, only some clever
old woman, vino, making up in experience
what she lacks in education, brings
into existence half the population of a
village-but the intermediate class,
wives of clerks, tradesmen OR poor
gentlemen, who aim at the dignity OF doc
tor and nurse, but can only afford them
of an inferior kind, and who often pay
with their lives for the mcapacity or
carelessness of both. It is for these that
al educated woman, who would be at
once trained midwife and monthly
nurse, might come to the rescue, lessen
ing rather than increasing the heavy ex-
penses which in many families make the
advent of every child q dread and curse
rather than o blessing and lessening
still more those sad fatalities which the
stricken household believe to be the
"visitation Of God" but which others
know well would not have happened
did not need to happen except through
stolid ignorance, Indifference or culpable
neglect on the part Of those attending
the sufferer. 1t is hard thing to say,
and say in print, though many one has
said in words, looking at some poor
cofined face, taken suddenly away in
the midst of youth and life: "She did
not die-she was killed, simply killed. !"

Ehe Married EIire.

Of all the evils peryading "society
life, " perhaps the most pernicious infu-
ences are to be traced to the married
firt - therefore, it will not be amiss in
our desire to unveil the ills of the pres
ent day socially to devote few words
to her. Either as male or female, the
married firt is abominable, but we think
the female productive of the most mis-
chief, so it is with her we shall deal.
First, par ct simple, it is an odious
term, even when applied to bright
young girl. How much more so when
attached to a married woman-she who
holds her husbands honor in charge,
her children's future, the lives and hap
piness of all. Love of admiration be-
gins the harm. Not content with the
love Of the one she has vowed to keep
only unto "till death do them part, :"
she Graves the fattery and admira-
ton Ct every passable man of her ac-
quaintance-to have string of admir-
ers who offer incessant incense at her
shrine is her very life itself. She insists
on the most abiect devotion. the great
est and most constant attention. At a
ball, let any Of her followers dare to
slight her for some young girl, and dire
is the consequence to him-she exacts
the most implicit obedience to her
whims and caprices. If she appears at
the theater, there, also, the favorite of
the hour is expected to be III attendance,
to carry her glasses, toy. with her bou-
quet or hold her fan. Did the evil stop
here it would be comparatively harmless,
but by degrees the intimacy grows, and

The Woman Who Wears the Rreeebes.

The woman who always answers
when her husband is spoken to. and
considers herself the "better three
quarters" of the household arrange

The woman who buys all the provi.
sions and clothing, even her husbands
clothes, and buys them always at bar

contradicts him before their children,
not allowing him to express an opinion
without Immediately Volunteering one in
an opposite direction.
The woman who always demands the
money on "pay days." and, if her hus-
bands ventures to ask what she wants il
for, says "there is no need for man
to have money when his wife needs it all
to clothe and feed her family"
AS soon as there Is hundred dollars
ahead she takes it, and, depositing it in
the bank in her own name, announces to
her husband the gratifying intelligence
that she has saved 500, but does not
consider 1t important to mention where
she has deposited the same.
The woman who wears the "breeches"
is almost sure to lay by something for

husband day of recreation, although
ON holidays she usually takes him out
with the other children for a little en-
joyment.
Her husband always has a quiet, SUBJ
dued air, and speaks in very nervous.

from under his eyebrows, as if expecting
to hear some voice In contradiction.
He has the habit Of smoothing the top
OF his head gently and soothingly, as if
hair had been recently pulled

is usually called "smart by the men,
and "tyrant by the women. She
speaks of the homestead as "my place."

Nobody has much love for her, and,
as she has proved eminently able to take

Worship of False Beauty.

Houses are known to me in which a
laugh seems almost as misplaced as in
church, and is even subject to the same
unuttered rebuke. Houses there are
now by the hundred where the thickly-
shaded light, as it breaks with difficult
through the faded curtains, falls moi
alone upon ':aattea," dusky paint, blue
china and black-and-gold wickerwork.
but llumines family the pale faces OF
weary women, sef-immolated upon the
altar Of their own hearths. The wor-
ship of beauty false beauty as I hold it
to be- has it's victims now by the hun
bred. and much of the effeteness Of our
artists and the hysteria of our women
may be traced back till We find its
seemingly inocuous source in art, furni-
ture and decorative hangings. The other
night at an cat home,' I saw the last
and worst result of such teaching. Ny
attention was drawn by friend to a
young woman in dull, colorless dress,
without collar Or other adornment, and
with thick mass of hair rubbed con-
fusedly down on her forehead. She
was sitting in corner by doorway,
with face expressive of such withered
Joy as [ have never before seen affect
ed. Her head lay back against
the doorpost, her eyes were half closed,
more like piece OF sea-weed left high
upon the beach in the glare of a noon
day sun than a woman. There she sat,
unlovely, unwomanly, and unhealthy :;
but oh, how aesthetic. The current of
peoplefloweda and eddied about her; talk,
neither wise nor witty, perhaps, but at
least human, rose and fell unheeded by
her ear, while by her side stood harris
ter noted for his wit even more than for
his learning, vainly trying to win smile
from the poor, sad face. Is this what
our wives and sisters are coming to if
they have any artistic capacities? Is
this the desired result Of an increased
devotion to art? I, for one, refuse to
believe it. Il seems to me to be only
one of the many false fashions of the
day, an outgrowth from the worst parts
of Swinbrne's and Rosetti's poetry.
Let not one Of this school delude him
self or herself into the belief that their
practices and theories tend to help art.
They tend rather to destroy it; and as
surely as you kill healthiness of feeling
and strength Of moral fiber in any socie-
ty, SO certainly you may be sure you
kill also the root of all fine art. For
fine art is always healthy, always strong,
and never self conscious. -Londors Spec

TWO MORNINGS.
BY SARAH O. JEwETI

In al1nor strong the fearless knight
AT day break rode away,
And from her window in the tower
The lady watched all day.
There stood that morning by the gate
little page, to see,
Aud wished to be, in years to come,
AS grand knight as he.
All day the idle echoes brought,
Like noises in dream,
The roar OF fighting from afar,
The dashing of stream;
And when the stars came, one by one,
The lady could not sleep;
She feared the shadows in the room,
She heard the waters leap.
The daylight fingered ere it came,
And hardly with surprise
She heard the tale the servants brought,
With terror in their eyes;
How at the close-barred castle gate
At daybreak they had found
The knights horse, which came dropping in,
Weak with a mortal wound.
Oh, all forlorn and riderless,
Stained with his masters blood,
With human sorrow in his look,
He hurt and trembling stood.
The lady did not speak. She came
Beside the horse to stand;
She kissed the bride where the knight
Had held it in his hand;
And all that day she Ionged and feared
To hear the soldiers tread.
When they came marching up the glen
To bring the knight home dead.
She wished the women would not wall;
She hoped that she might die;
She longed to be the little page,
Who hid himself to cry.

AT DAW n.
Early this morning, waking,

Early this morning, waking,
heard the sand-piper's call,
And the sea on the shore was breaking
With q dreamy rise and fall.
The dawn that was softly blushing
Iouched cloud and wave with rose.
And the sails in the west Were aushins,
No breeze stirred their repose.
What tone in the waters falling
Had reached me while dreamed?
What sound in the wild birds calling
Like heavenly greeting seemed?
What meant the delicate splendor
That frightened the conscious morn
With radiance fresh and tender,
Growing the day new born?
All natures musical voices
Whispered, "Awake and see
Awake! for the day rejoices!'
What news had the morn for me-?
Then 1 remembered the blessing
So sweet, o friend, SO near!
The joy beyond all expressing
To-day you would be here!

Art in Dress.

American ladies have long been noted
for their taste in dress, and though midi
vidually they may violate the rules of
harmony, as nation they carry off the
palm for elegant dressing, understanding
itsftness to age, complexion and climate
Ruskin, the great art educator, holds
that there may be as much artistic taste
shown in dress as in the coloring of a
picture, and lays down the following
rules which are full of suggestion ::
Fright dress is strong, simple, radi-
antly clean; carefully out on, carefully
kept Beautiful dress is beautiful in
color, in harmony of parts, and in mode
Of putting on and wearing" F'rederika
