by his family, he is taking his much needed
rest after his six months of hard labor in San

hour OF the long days. resting and studying.

dav, and not unfrequently on week days.
Mr.. Moody's home place is little farm of
some ten acres. on which all the details of
farm life are carried out. year ago he pur-
chased hundred and fifty acres adjoining his
own place. and on this he has erected very
handsome brick building for girls boarding
school. The location is an admirable one,
the grounds sloping down to the river and
commanding fine view Of the valley. Last
year there were a hundred Young ladies in
the seminary, and the applications for the
coming year exceed that number. As the
school grows he designs erecting other build
inss, and in this way he will keep up the
home life. which cannot be done where large
numbers are brought together in one build
ing. That the school may be within the reach
of persons of moderate means, he has placed
the price at 500 per year for board, tuition.
etc.
Among the pupils are fifteen Indian girls
trom the five civilized tribes of the Indian
Territory. whom Mr.. Moody is educating
gratuitouslv, and who will go back as mis-
sionares and teachers tn their own people.
Mr.. Moody has just purchased three hundred
acres additional on the other side of the river
from his own home and about a mile from
Northield Here he has started farm
school for boys. He has already two good
houses on it, and designs erecting eight
more, each house to accommodate ten boys
and in il they are to have their home. Al
ready some twenty boys are in the school.
Four hours each day are given to study, four
to work. and the rest to sleep, recreation, etc.
1t is not intended to he place where we'll
to-do people can educate their boys at a mod
crate price, nor is il intended as II
reform school for bad boys and city
are orphans, or who would not
have proper training at home, and make use

care is exercised in selecting the boys and
very many applicants have been rejected,
Mr.. Moody visits the school once, very
often tw ice each day, and is laying his plans
carefully for both institutions
just now he is arranging for a Christian
convention for Bible study, beginning August
3, and lasting till September l. DIR. Andrew
Bonar of Scotland, and other leading Bible
students will be present and assist in con-
ducting the meeting. The singing will be
under the charge of Mr.. Sankey, Mr.. and

characteristics of LObSters.

A mature lobster should measure without
his claws from one to two feet, and weigh
from two to fifteen pounds. The average
shell-fish seen in our markets is, however,
about ten or twelve inches, and for certain
calculations length of ten and onc-half
inches is taken as a standard without regard
to weight. Occasionally Holsters of immense
size will be captured, and their claws are
preserved rs relics. Some have been taken
which weighed twenty-five pounds, and Maine
fishermen tell of prodigious shell fish taken
on their shores weighing forty three pounds.
As the shell of lobster is inflexible and
admits of no enlargement, the covering
is shed every year to allow for the grow In
of the body. The first change is made only
when the lobster has existed five years, and
, then, about the lst Of August the she'll splits
along the back and slowly falls off, another
one forming underneath. While the new
covering is growing, the lobster is dcfenscless
from his foes, and seeks refuge under rocks
and crcviccs. BY October the shell is in
good order, and by December the lobster il
in his best condition. A Holsters food is
varied, any kind Of shell-fsh, sea-weed or
small animal lite which comes within his
reach serving to satisfy his hunger. They
have been known TO live months in the wells
of a vessel, picking up sufficient sustenance
from the water in which they were kept

IEsthetic Dresses.

People on this side OF the Atlantic do not
understand exactly what il is that the English
aesthetics affect. A London letter describes an
aesthetic ball, and gives very good idea Of
the general appearance Of that class of people
on snch occasions. Burne Jones, the artist,
the Postlethwaite of Punch, who revels in de-
picting lanky white maidens on canvas, was
there, looking long and solemn. like one of his
own paintings but Oscar Wilde, the poet the
Maudle of the English paragraphers, was alb
sent. The ladies had their hair cut short and
pulled out in wisps, like the character Of fmedi.
aval illuminations. The favorite colors in
dress were a shade ofpeacock blue, sage green,
terra Gotta red, and bright saffron. The nate
rials used we're principally Grape, cashmere,
and thin Chinese silk. The attitudes affected
were something remarkable, but all on the
foppv style, as if to give evidence Of the
possession of the backbone were a sin. So
they lolled and Topped about in the most
boneless manner, leaning against door posts
and furniture limp and lifeless. There is
said to be more than q suggestion Of pic
turesqueness in this craze, and if it were
properly carried out it would be rather nice
than otherwise. 1t has the advantage Of
economy. An aesthetic ball dress need cost
but a few more shillngs than Paris one
does pounds. But the dresses themselves
are hideous and badly made, sometimes not
entirely clean. and the cropped heads are
unpleasant. But, for all that, they say that
pretty girl will continue to look pretty in
the fashion and plain one succeeds in at
tracing by it degree Of attention that she
would otherwise not command Boston

Mr.. MOOdy's Home.
HONE LIFE OF THE GREAT EvASogLIs

Northfeld, Mass, is one Of the most quiet.
pretty villages of New England. 1t is situat-
ed in the beautiful valley of the Connecticut,
in the midst of a range of mountains broken
off from the White Mountain range: in Mas
sachusetts. vet almost within stones throw
Of Vermont and New Hampshire, as if in
doubt to which it belonged. With few hun
dred people, one street a mile long lined on
either side with double row Of elm trees, a
quiet, sleepy old place. For hundred years
i; has dreamed away, unknown outside Of a
little country neighborhood of which it was
the centre, but one morning it awoke to find
that it was famous. ID. l.. Moody. the evan
gelist, who had gone out from one Of the hum
blest Of these homes, returned from his evan
gelistic work in Great Britain with worldt
wide fame. At once delegations of the most
distinguished ministers and most prominent
laymen from leading cities in all parts of the
country came with invitations for Mr. Moody
to visit their cities, newspaper correspondents
came to learn what his plans were and to pick
up the little everyday incidents of his life and
soon the sleepy village became one Of the best
known in all New England.

feet long. From the time it became visible it
remained in view less than two minutes. 1t
passed directly through space without the
slightest variation from its straight course,
