AT a recent meeting of the London
School Board. Editor Grove of the School
master asserted that the system of
government in the French schools was
one of constant espionage, the effect
being to destroy frank intercourse among

The Feminine Bang.

The latest and most attractive of the
decorative forms in which lovely woman
has chosen to arrange her hair is known
as the bang. The bang is one of the
most attractive embellishments ever ex-
hibited on the feminine head, even if it
be not the most elegant. 1t is worn
both by young ladies and elderly ones,
without regard to size, weight or style
of physique, and is supposed by the
wearers to be alike becoming to every
variety of countenance and forehead.
The bang is Ct many a different style.
Sometimes it is of short and straight
hair, which hangs over the forehead
like that of the old-fashioned little
schoolboy, on whose head bowl was
placed when his hair was about to be
cut, to form the guiding line for the
clip of the scissors. There are bangs
whick look like the frayed-out selvedge
of cocoa door-mat. These are said
to be esteemed particularly elegant.
There are others which seem to be
made of twisted wicker-work. As the
lady who wears this kind approaches
from a distance she appears as if carry
ing a willow basket on her head, the
scolloped border of which descends
nearly to her eyes. Some ladies must
use mucilage or glue, or other adhesive
substances, in order to keep their bangs
from frisking and wandering away
from where they are put. Perhaps this
is one of the secrets of the toilet con-
cerning which men ought to dwell in
ignorance. Yet here is where part of
mans wonder comes in. If some of
these bangs are not thus made to adj
here to the forehead, how do they
maintain their position? There is a
style of adhesive bang which is said to
look like the sad sea waves, and it
would indeed resemble them if the
waves were gummed to anything. The
statement that this sort of bang was
sold in the stores by the yard, and put
on like SO much sticking-plaster, is a
Grafton. AS to the origin of the name
banging the door it evidently has no
hair and not the door. And yet it is
possible that the originator of the bang
did on a certain occasion bang the door
and found her front hair suddenly cut
off on an even line, by being accident
ally caught at the door thus banged
shut. 1t is said bv some young ladies,
who are addicted to slang, that the
name is a contraction of "you be
hanged" Yet it is difficult to see what
being hanged has to do with hair which
is hardly two inches long. If ladies'
want to be hanged they should use the
back hair, which by its length is better
adapted for the purpose. Absalom was
hanged by his hair in an oak tree. He
wore his hair long and not banged

Photographs In Natural ColOrs.

The announcement is again made that
a process has been discovered for TAX
ing photographs possessing all the
brilliancy and delicacy of the natural
colors, and an exhibition of pictures
thus naturally colored has just been held
in London. According to the reports,
the colors are produced by the action of
light alone in the camera, and owe no.
thing whatever to the artists brush. Iu
the photographs exhibited, the coloring
appeared to be quite true to nature, and
delicate tones and shades were clear to
the view. The flesh-tint was exact to
life, and full Justice was done to gor-
geous regimentals. The protruded
tongue of a dog in one of the photo
graphs possessed the exact color of

How q Sparrow Asked Admittance.

A gentleman of this city, says the
New London (Conn.) Telegram of a re-
cent date. relates this anecdote illus
trating the almost human intelligence
which birds sometimes display: On
Saturday evening, when the furious
northeaster was penetrating to the
marrow of unlucky pedestrians, and
sitting the fine snow under doors and
window sills. his attention was called
from his newspaper by persistent tap
ping at his library window. AT first
he supposed it to be the rattling of
loose blind or the shaking of a window
sash in its groove; but becoming an
noyed at its continuance. he walked to
the window to secure the noisy frame.
Looking out into the fast falling snow
what was his surprise to discover,
perched on the outside sill. an English
sparrow with its feathers puffe1 up into
a comical little ball to protect it from
the wind. AS he stood before the win
dow the noise ceased, and waiting for
its repetition he concluded that the
little sparrow had been the cause of
his disturbance. Wishing to see if his
conjecture was correct. he drew back
into the shade of the curtain and
watched the shivering bird. In mo.
ment the comical little head emerged
from its downy covering. and, peeping
1irst to this side and then to the other,
the tiny bird began again its summons
for admission on the glass. The gen.
tieman thrust his hand out cautiously
from his retreat and quietly raised the
sash an inch or two, to allow the timid
caller ingress. The sparrow hopped
cautiously onto the inner sill. and grad
ually emboldened by the silence began
an elaborate toilet, stroking its disor-
dered plumage, and settling itself into
a comfortable enjoyment of the warmth
and light The strange little visitor
was allowed to pass the night within
the unusual shelter of the library, and

The Trials Of Chinese School Children.

A class of thirty Chinese Sunday
school scholars which has been formed
in Cincinnati held Christmas
festival. One of the features of the
evening was an address by Chan Pom
Tip, a scholar, in which he thus point
ed out how hard thing going to school
is in China: 1--WE have more letters in
the alphabet in our language than you
could count, but only use from 5000 to
$500, that is all. We do not commence
to learn the alphabet first, but learn
it as we go along in our reading. The
first thing we study is to read Confu-
cius, our religion. The children who
first start to school take but very few
lessons from Confucius. They are in
structed by their teachers how to be-
have and what they ought to do for
their parents, and how to pay good
respect to strangers. They must bow
and call a stranger teacher; for the
name of teacher is held with great re-
spect. The school-teacher has full
charge of the children, and the parents
have very little to do with them after
they commence to attend the school.
The teacher sees the children more and
so understands them better, and sees
them in the wrong, so they can correct
them better than their parents. After
the first six months they begin to study
Confucius, and they study until they
get through the four Kings Perhaps
the children can get through Confucius
and the four Kings in three or four
years. Then they go to college if they
can afford it. The four Kings are writ
ten by the disciples of COnfucius; he
had seventy-two, where Christ had
twelve. You can never get through
college until you become an officer. If
YOU do not want to become an officer
you have to leave college.
"It is much harder for us to go to
school when we are little. We have to
be in school in the morning as soon as
we can see to read. and when the teach
er comes we have to recite our lesson,
and if we do not know it we cannot go
home for breakfast. After breakfast
we practice writing two hours. Then
the writing books are taken up to the
teacher. We are not allowed to play
or talk to any one in the school. We
all study out loud at the same time
and on different lessons. The teachers
are very strict, and when it gets late
and one canno5 see to read, then school
is out. We are not allowed to stop on
the way home, and if we do not DO as
the teacher says. then we get good
thrashing with a number of small
switches tied together: You will no.
tice that the Chinese, when they pass
along tho street, go quietly and mind
their own business. II in because they
wore brought up ia that way"

BETWEEN THE GREEN CORN AND
THE GOLD.

Between the green corn and the gold,
Between the dawning and the noon,
Love. that at first wa. pale and cold
waxed ruddy with the summer moon:
And hearts beat high, and lips grew bold
Between the green Corn and the gold.
The primrose, precious key of spring,
Unlocked the cisket OF the year;
The flowers flew forth ON rainbow wing
Ger hill, and meal, and mere,
To WOO the new year like the old,
Between the green corn and the gold.
Between the gold corn and the green,
Between the mid lay and the dawn.
The summer woods have lost their sheen,
The flowers have withered on the lawn;
And Love lies dead where Love hath been,
Between the gold corn and the green.
Love is not dead: he clnnot die,
Although his eyes he veiled with pain;
The woods shall wakeu by and by,
Tho flowers shall blossom once again;
And we-shall we not wake. my Queen,
Between the gold corn and the greens

A Fable.

A Venetian merchant who was lolling
in the lap of luxury was accosted on the
Rialto by friend who had not seen
him for MANY months. "How is this?"
cried the latter; "when last saw you
your gaberdine was out at elbows, and
now you sail in your own gondola."
" True" replied the merchant; "but
since then l have met with serious
losses and been obliged to compound
with my creditors for ten cents on the
dollar"

The Whistler on the Cars.

And they always hunt in droves," said
the sad passenger. "If one man hegins

he gets to his first breathing spell one man

and toots, and not so much as fragment
of a tune in the whole unacceptable
mass"
DO you suppose" said Endvmion, the
sleepy passenger. who only got on a few
stations back, and had been sound asleep
ever since, do Won suppose the man who
whistles ever listens to the warbings Of
other whistlers in the carp Because if he
did, and could hear how meaningless and
vacant the music was. think he would
never whistle in the cars again.

Just then the man who had been

He was not kind looking man now that

one eve. and his hair was white and very
short. His neck was of about tho same

LIVING IN STYLE.-Fashionabl living
brings many trials upon its victims, and
the mistress of well-kept house finds her
fatigue greater than her enjoyment. Take
one item alone. Have any of our readers
tried to estimate the work to be done in
simply washing the dishes after a well
served-not stylish-dinner? | once had
the curiosity to count the dishes used for a
party of six people as the servant girl was
washing them. There were one hundred
and sixteen different articles to be handled
over, each three times-washing, rinslng
and wiping. What an elaborate dinner!'
Not at all. Count the soup plates and
spoons, the meat plates, knives and forks
separate saucer and spoon for succotash,
tomatoes, and sauce; meat platters and
carvers; vegetable dishes, coffee cups,
saucers and spoons, etc. To look on the
table there do not seem so many articles.
but wash and wipe them yourself and count
as you proceed and after that you will have
more respect for the work necessary TO
keep the dining room in order. But the
toll of providing for the house and the table
| is but trifing compared with that which
| is exacted by fashion in dress, amuse-
ments and the prescribed amount of " calls
interchanged. Even if the cares of a
household are sometimes severe and over
tax the strength, yet there is chance for
the full and heathful exercise of the whole
body, and good amount of 1t in the open
air. But what benefit can be extracted
from the selecting and making Of an elab-
crate dress of the dayp Is it any wonder
that the fashionable woman is always tired

HOMESICKNESS AN ACTUAL DISEASE
Most people have notion of what
homesickness is, many have suffered from
it, but it has been left to a distinguished
French physician to classify it as an actual
disease. NJ. Ii. Rey finds that it is un-
common among children and old folks,
and more frequent among men than
women. Those who are most liable to it
are the young conscripts drawn from the
country who join the infantry. Town lads
are too accustomed TO change and hustle
to be readily susceptible, while the cavalry
soldier is supposed to be too busy to shave
time TO devote much attention to home
and its concerns. DR.. Rey considers
nostalgia Chat is, homesickness) a form
of insanity. Its symtoms are that the pa
tient becomes sad and moody, forbears to
eat, retires to weep solus cum solo, and
gives himself up to reveries of home. In
the second stage, he wears the aspect of
ILL health, suffers from headache and Sleep
lessness, and should the disease advance,
delirium, prostration and decay set in, ter
minating IN death. Occasionally veterans
also are afflicted with the malady. This
generally happens when fighting has to be
done in retreat, in the bitterness of defeat,
when they feel forsaken, cold, hungry,
when they have to sleep on damp ground,
agonized from thirst caused by their
wounds, when they are taken prisoners,
and become familiar with the strange bed
fellows that misery acquaints them with
in these circumstances, utterly downcast
and disheartened, the old soldier thinks OF
his home, his aged parents, his wife and
BARNS, with keenest, liveliest memory, and
severe attack Of nostalgia is added TO the
other ailments of which he is already the
victim. -CdsseLi's Magazine.

ORIGIN OF WIFE.-Says Ruskin: " What
do you think the beautiful word wife ;
comes fromp 1t is the great word in which
the English and Latin languages conquer
ed the French and Greek. | hope the
French will some day get a word for it
instead of femme. But what do you think
II comes fromp The great value of the
Saxon words is that they mean something.
Wife means weaverr You must either
be house wives or house. moths, remember
that. In the deep sense, you must either
weave mems fortunes and embroider
them, or feed upon them and bring them
to decay. Wherever a true wife comes,
home is always around her. The stars
may be over her head, the glow-worm in
the nights cold grass may be the fire at
her feet, but home is where she is, and for
noble woman it stretches far around her,
better than houses ceiled with cedar or
painted with vermilion-shedding its
quiet light for those who else are home
less. This, l believe, is the woman's true
place and power"

HUNTING FOR PLACE.-A good many
people spend all their life time hunting for
the place in this world which they were
intended to fill. They never settle down
to anything with any restful or contented
feeling. What they are doing now is not
by any means the work that is suited TO
their abilities. They have sunny ideal
of a very noble life which they would like
to reach, in which ,heir powers would find
free scope, and where they could make a
very bright record. But in their present
condition they cannot do much of any
thing; and there is little use to try; their
life is humdrum and prosy routine, and
they can accomplish nothing really worthy
and beautiful. So they go on. discomfort
ed with their own lot and sighing for
another; and while they sigh the years
glide away, and soon they will come to the
end, to find they have missed every oppor
tunity of doing anything worthy of an
immortal being in the passage to eternity
The truth is one 8 vocation is never some
far off possibility. 1t is always the simple
round of duties that the passing hour
brings. No day is commonplace if we only
had eyes to see its splendor. There is no
duty that comes to our hand but brings to
US the possibility of kingly service.
