Two new wrinkles are charged upon
the fashionable women of New York
City by correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The first is fddling:
cit is not rare now to meet finely
dressed girl with a boy carrying one Of
those black, coffin-shaped boxes which
formerly we're logged by professional
musicians only. She is on her way to
or from her violin-lesson. Pretty soon
she will stand up before the guests in
her papa's parlor, tuck QUE end of a fid-
die under her chin, and torture the COM
pany's ears while delighting their eyes.
However horrible may be the noise pro-
duced she will look well during the pro-
cess of making it.
The second freak of fashion 10 repres-
ented to be to pray on genuine prayer
rugs from the East, such as Mohamme-
dams use: ''They are usually about
three by four feet in size, and can be
distinguished by the design, which al
ways represents some large figure at one
end, and pointed at the other. Places
are indicated for the hands and knees.
Devout women procure the real things
from an importer; and without facing
Mecca, humping their heads on the
floor, or removing their shoes and stock
ings, like the sons of the Prophet, still
actually do use them to kneeI on while
praying. They are said to be great
comfort"

somewhat remarkable fact illustrative Of

A French Izaak Walton.

When M. de Salvardy WIS Minister O
Public Instruction under Louis Phil
lippe, being passiorately addicted t,
angling, it was his custom, whenever b,
could, to slip away from his official res
idence with a rod and tackle concealed
beneath his overcoat, and post himsel
under the arch of the Point de la Con
cOrde, in a place known to him
self alone, where he never failed to en-
Joy good sport.
One day as the minister crept under
the arch of the bridge, his blood wa:
chilled in his veins by the sight of {
stranger in his own, his fondly cherished
place, hauling in gudgeonsand now an6
then hsty perch with the keenest en-
joyment.
M. de Salvandy's first impulse was tt
strangle the Intruder and hurl his corpse
into the Seine, but controlling himself,
he took another station, and, an oppor.
tunity for conversation Offering itself
drew from the newcomer his story.
The newcomer was Professor at one
Of the colleges in Paris, who, having
fallen into disgrace for some reason OF
other and being suspended from his
duties, had undertaken to console his
enforced leisure with the fishing rod
and, he said, had been so delighted tt
find such an eligible stand that he meant
to come there daily.
'Why do you not address yourself te
the Minister of Education in person.
asked NJ. de Salvandy, as a wild thought
flashed across his mind. ssHe would
surely see justice done in your case"
sAye," said the man, gloomily. as he
pulled out a perfect whale of q perch
''much chance poor devil of an appli.
cant like me would have of getting q
personal hearing! I've sent him memoir.

have been vouchsafed.
'"There must be something wrong. y

Minister, and he is not such a bad feI.
low. Give me your name and address
and III see that your case reaches
him."
The newcomer embraced his protector
and departed.
Early next morning he received an
Official letter from the Department of
Public Instruction informing him that
he had been appointed to chair in q
college down near the Pyrenees, and
ordered him to leave instantly for his
new hsld Of labor.
Thus the Minister of Education re-
gained his cherished fishing station un-
der the Point de Ia Concorde.

Indian Names In Wisconsin,

Green Bay Advocate.
Our readers are aware that most Of
the names of places in this vicinity ore
derived from the Indian tongue, some
Of them having been altered somewhat
for the sake Of euphony, as, for in
stance, Peshtiso for Pe-shet-i-go. We
interviewed our OIL friend Captain
Powell, the other day, who is well
along In years, and was born here, and
is almost as familiar with the Indian
language as the Indians themselves
and he gives US the following as the
Specifications of some Of the names Of
places in this vicinity:
Suamico-The yellow sand.
Oconto-The place Of the pickerel.
Pensaukes-Thc place of the brants.
misunderstanding turtle.
Menominee-Wild rice.
Menek2une-The place where the
lodges are; literally, the village.
Escanaba-A fat rock.
Manitowoc-The dwelling of the
spirit.
Kewauneo-The name of kind OF
duck.
Thus it will be seen that the Indians
named places after some popularity
of the location; Or, as in the ease Of
Manitowoc, after some superstition.
Most of the American names are ut
terly meaningless, as applied to the
locality, and we like the Indian plan
the best.
Take for instance, Appleton, Sey.
mour, New London, Preble, etc. which
convey no idea whatever. Bellevue is
better, but it is French and is dupli-
Gated in other languages, as, for in
stance, Buena Vista, in Spanish. Fond
du Lac is cool and conveys an idea.
Oshkosh perpetuates the name of an
Indian chief ana Marinette that of an
Indian woman and both are very good.

Cooperation Of Medical Officers and
People In Sanitary Objects.

The sanitary Aid Association of st,
Leona-d's and Hastings, England, dur
ing nine years Of work among a popula-
ton of thirty-fye thousand, has secured
cooperation bStween the people and the
sanitary officers, under which the spread
OF all infectious diseases has been effect
ually prevented. This it has done by
tact In the exercise of its functions as q
medium between the medical officers
and the people. It seeks first, to guard
against popular jealousy of inquisitorial
inspection. The teachers of the schools
are expected to make weekly returns of
all absentees, with the cause of absence
It known; If the cause is not known,
some fit person is deputed to make a
friendly casual visit to the family, with
out any suggestion of suspicion of fever,
and report the information received to
whoever acts as sanitary manager. The
case is then put into the hands of the
health officer, and his endeavors are
furthered by explaining to the mother
that she shall receive, for the strict per-
Torrance Of the processes of disinfection
taught her, assistance, to be allotted ac-
cording to the circumstances of the
family. The assistance may come in
the form of milk allowance, beef-tea.
wine, or whatever may be ordered by the
medical attendant, nurse, or q person
to do the washing, or, where no want
exists, Of little delicacies and comforts
which may be given without oftense.
It should always be connected with obe-
dience, by the persons assisted, of the
inspectors orders, and should be accom-
panied. through the period of illness, by
tho promise OF suitable help at the end.
The greatest difficulties the medical Off
GERS have to meet arise from the desire
of the poor to conceal their cases. for
fear OF injuring their business; but, un-
der the operation of this system, every
family that enjoys the benefit of its ap-
pl1cation and finds out what help and
relief it gives tells the neighbors, and so
it is brought about that the medical
officer becomes himself the poor mans
accepted friend. The st. Leonard's and
Hastings society has never incurred q
failure during all the years of its work.
ing; yet so unobtrusive has been its op-
eratioas that one who should 90 down
to inquire at random about it, without
having list Of its allies, would have
difficulty in discovering its existance.
By adhering to and avowing the prin-
ciple that it has no more right to inter.
fere with the persons 1t visits than they
with its members, by using persuasion
and sympathy instead of threats, it has
reduced the number of unmanageable
cases to one year; and has always
brought even these around by taking
oare in converting with the persons to
give full information respecting disin-
lection. Thereupon, they turn around
and act upon the information they have
gained, so as to show how well they can
do without their visitors.

Table Manners of Children.
(From Bill Nye's Boomerang:.'

(From Bill Nye's Boomerang.)
Young children who have to wait till
older people have eaten all there is in the
house should not open the dining-room
door during the meal and ask the host if
he is going to eat all day. It makes tho
company feel i'll at ease and lays up wrath
In the parents heart.
Children should not appear displeased
with the regular course at dinner and then
I'LL up on pie. Eat the less expensive food
hrst and then organize panic in the pre-
serves.
Do not close out the last of your SOM
by taking the plate in your mouth and
pouring the liquid down your childish
neck. You might spill it, and it enlarges
and dlstorts the mouth unnecessarily.
When asked what part of the fowl Won
prefer do not say you will take the part
that goes over the fence last. This re.
mark is very humorous, but the rising
generation ought to originate some new
table jokes that will be worthy of the AGE
in which we live.
Children should early learn the use of
the fork and how to handle it. This
knowledge can be acquired by allowing
them to pry up the carpet tacks with the
instrument, and other little exercises. such
as the parent mind may suggest.
The child should be taught at once not
to wave his bread around over the table
while in conversation, or to fill his mouth
full of potatoes and then converse in a
rich tone of voice with some one out in the
yard. He might get his dinner down his
trachea land cause his parents great
anxiety.
In picking up plate or saucer filed
with soup or with moist food, the child
should be taught not to parboil his thumb
in the contents of the dish and to avoid
swallowing soup bones or other indi-
gestible debris.
Toothpicks are generally the last course,
and children should not be permitted to
pick their teeth and kick the table through
the other exercises. While grace is being
said at table, children should know that it
Is breach of good breeding to smouge
fruit cake just because their parents heads
are bowed down and their attention for the
moment turned in another direction. Chill
dren ought not to be permitted to find
fault with the dinner or food with the cat

A Favored Poet,
London Standard.]

America has produced no man of let
ters who has done more to make En-
glishmen think of American poetry as
an integral part of the ever-growing lit
erary inheritance of the English race
than Longfellow. Most writer's, let
their popularity be what it may, are
pretty sure in the course OF their literary
career, if it be successful and conspic-
uous one, to excite certain amount of
antagonism and antipathy, and to do
this without any actual fault of their
own. A writer on the other side of the
Atlantic may easily be too pronounced:
ly American altogether to satisfy En-
glish prejudices; and writer upon
this side of the ocean is Just as likely to
be too definitely and Internationally En-
glish not to offend American suscepti-
bilities at some point or other. But
Longfeilow never wounded suscepti-
bility nor aroused prejudice in his
life.
Perhaps the first native-horn Ameri-
can writer whom Englishmen regarded
as one of themselves was Washington
Irving. But since his day q number of
distinguished men of letters of the Am
erican republic have been treated with
like affectionate familiarity. We have
appropriated them and insisted in hay-
ing our fair share, not only of their
thoughts, but of their reputation. An
attempt was once made by Mr.. Walt
Whitman to decry European literature
as an effeminate remnant of feudalism,
and to involve in his apprehension those
American writer's whom no one would
know specially for such, unless he was
told. But such paradox was not like
~ to obtain acceptance for any length
of time; and Americans at least have
long since discovered that the best Am
erican writer's are those who, as far as
style is concerned, might just as we'll
have been borne in Europe. Every
really great writer, indeed, every good
one is ssthe heir of all the ages and the
long results of time" His originality
accommodates itself to the manner that
has been approved by generations of
his literary predecessors.
Longfe]low is good case IN point
It is in vain that the extravagant advo-
Gates of distinctly national tone will
search in Longfellow for native barbar-
isms or even local peculiarities. He is
content with the well of English unde-
filed. He has, in consequence, been as
much read and as much admired in En-
gland as America; and his works are a
conclusive proof that, as far as the hui
man heart is concerned, there is no earth
ly difference between an American and
an Englishman, except the accident of
name. If Longfellow has monument
erected to him in Westminster abbey.
as we sincerely hope ne may, every En-
glishman will feel that the monument is
raised to one Of his own countrymen,
