WOman,s Work

Women frequently complain that men
do not know how hard they ace Obliged
to work. The many little things they
are required to do are quite as taxing
upon them, they rightly say, as the
larger labors of the masculine sex. The
Rev. Thomas X. Beecher says some-
thing on this subject which all women
will appreciate. "All men," remarks
this distinguished gentleman, ''ought
to go to the woods and do their
washing and general work, such
as sweeping, housekeeping and
dish-washing. The work of wo-
men is not spoken of sensibly by
men till they have done it themselves.
Gentlemen readers, it is easy TO talk,
but just try it on a very modest scale
onceAnd you will honor working women
more than ever. Do as l have done
do wash of six pieces, and then re-
member that woman turns off 200
pieces day. Look at your watch and
see how long it takes you. Look at
your soap and see how much you have
used. Look at your white clothes, hand
kerchiefs and towels and see what you
have done, al never again speak harshly
of or to woman ON washing-day,
nor of laundry work as if it were
unskilllul labor. Try it. A sympa-
thetic gentleman, having washed two
pieces, will never change his shirt
again without glow of reverence and
gratitude. She did this. A similar
and salutary consciousness will come
over him who darns his own socks,
patches his own trousers, splices his
suspen6ers and washes his dishes.
Look not every man upon his own
things, but every man upon the work
of woman. Such an experience in
the woods will go far toward settling
the woman questi n, by teaching is
that we are all members of one another,
and there must be no schism."

An Odd Literarr Contast.

There is curious literary contest at
Westminster school, England, every
year. The head master gives cut sub
iects for epigrams between Easter and
Whitsuntide. A few days before the
school breaks Up lie takes his seat in the
midst OF his youthful charges, and the
boys produce their compositions. They
step forward one by one, and hand the
epigrams to the head master, who reads
them out, and expresses his approval OF
the reverse. Before him lies a little bag
of bright new coins fresh from the mint.
They consist of penny, twopenny, three
penny, fourpenny and sixpenny pieces q.
(The fourpenny are special cCin,
marked with big 4, and not in cilc
lation.) If an epigram be very good
the master awards a complete set Of
coins. livery bad, solitary sixpence
mot a penny. OF course, there are
intermediate prizes. The cpl RramsmaY
be in any language, without the limita-
tioQ, presumably, that they be in a
ton que understood by the master.

How 1t Happened.

There was a railroad excursion from
Jackson County yesterday, and among
the crowd was man who called at the
office of the Chief of Police to make a
statement When the Chief was ready
to hear the details the man began:.

A Boston Small Boys Vacation.

A small boy who seems utterly desti-
tute of holiness is up in the country
spending his vacation. If he don't
make things lively and bring his parents
to grief before the summer wears away
it will be wonderfully remarkable. Here
is an extract from letter written by
him to a schoolmate in Cambridge.
This is the best place in the world to
have fun. There is six of us fellers,
and an old man who lives here said he
wished we was all in Hades, we throwed
his wheelbarrow into a well, and he
couldn't get it out, and that is what
made him swear. / got fish-hook
stuck into my nose, and don't you for
get it amt sore. The farmer folks put
tin-pans out in the sun to dry, and they
are sick pans to hold milk after we lab
some holes in 'em. The farmers NOV.
down hay with a orse-rake, and scatter
it round with grass-mill and pile it up
with a machine. Cripple got one of his
legs in hay-machine and got cut inn
mense, and when he gets home he
WON'T have any legs, only one; he'll be
a healthy kid to play base ball. There
was great circus when Jimme's moth
er came and found him crazy, he was
SO sick; he ct too many cucumbers and
two quarts of huckleberries, and ] ct
NOR n he did. I want you to see Hickey
and swap my rabbits for his gun. We
fred a pistol four times at a COW yester-
day and didn't kill her. Pistols ain
no good for game. We drowned six
hens in a brook yesterday; it was sport
to see .''em flop around. We shall
drowned some more tomorrow and we
shall drowned some more every day.
The doctor has cured: Jimmie, and his
mother was goin' to take him home, but
here is something funny, Jimmie put
some squirrels in his trunk and they ct
his clothes all up. When you send the
gun send lot Of powder and lot Of
matches. We are goin' campin' out
next week. .n-Boston Post.
