Practical Husband Hunting.

IL is related Of Il Connecticut woman,
whose husband died n short time age:
that instead OF lounging and languish-
ing about until some one asked her to
marry again, she plainly announced that
she wanted new husband, and she
named the price that She was ready to
pay for satisfactory article. OF course
there were plenty Of applicants, and at
least one of them met tho widows
views, for there was wedding that very
day.
There is nothing romantic about this
sort of match making, but, on tho other
hand, there is 10 nonsense about it. In
stead OF listening to u story so tender
and ardent that she could not have the
heart to question the suitor's fitness for
the place to which he aspired, the widow
adopted method that enabled her to
talk sense before marriage, and learn
what promise there would be of senti-
ment afterward. Shc did not consume
number Of the best years OF her life III
wishing that Que or another man would
propose, but she ascertained, like n sen
sible woman, who was really in the mar
kct, and made her choice from those
that were available. Scntimentalst:
may snceringly say that the man married
for money, but will they mention an.
other man who failed to do likewis'
when he had q chance? The widow ant
her new husband began life with a dis
tinct understanding and without having
had any lovers quarrels; let sentimental
couples show better beginning il the.
can. -NcW York UcrQld.

Good Eating and Good Writing.

In old monastic days good eating was
under ban. 1t was imagined that tho
brain could best be kept clear and vigor-
ous on low diet.
Romantic young ladies in our time
love to think of their favorite authors as
| fed on divine ambrosia. 1t brings
them down to common level to associ-
ate them with roast beef and mutton.
Poor Charlotte Bronte was once disen-
chanted Of her hero-worship. Thackeray
was her favorite author, and in her lonely
home on the moors, her imagination in
vested him with all ideal graces.
On visit to London she was lifted to
the summit of happiness by IN invitation
to dinner where Thackeray was to be
one of the guests. She was introduced
to the great man, and sat next to him.
1t was a red-letter day in her life, and
memory was ON the alert to retain all his
bright sayings, and report them to hel
. sisters.
Thackeray, however, did little talking
but much eating. He had recently re
covered from severe attack Of typhoit
fever, which left him with ravenous ap
petite, while the dinner was exception
ally good. Charlotte looked on in won
der at his feats, and the surprise gradu
ally changed to disgust. One more ido
had turned to clay. Ii she had know

Chinese Printing.

The blocks are nll Of the same size,
about eight by twelve inches, and about
half an inch thick. Each block repre-
sents two leaves, or four pages OF the
book, being engraved on both sides. The
blocks for complete work can thus be
slowed away in n very small compass.
The cost of engraving n page OF these
wooden blocks is said to be but little
more than the expense of setting up a
page of Chinese type and preparing 1t
for the press. An edition of one copy
can be printed if no more are required,
and thus the expense OF keeping n large
stock of printed books on hand is en-
tirely avoided. Any errors or misprints
that may be discovered can, rs rule, be
corrected on the blocks with but very
little trouble. A skillful printer can
print by hand 5000 leaves OF two pages
each day, using no press or machinery
whatever. tic supplies his own tools,
and receives as wages about one shilling
day. The paper ordinarily used is
white, and OF the best quality, although
yellowish kind is also made use OF at a
reduction of twenty per cent on the sell
ing price. The books are bound in tho
usual Chinese style, and fastened Will
white silk thread. They present an ap
,pearancc which satisfies the taste OF tn
most iastidious native. The leaves NJ
printed only on one side.

NIOsaics.

The first authentic account to he found
of any mosaic work in ancient Rome is
given us by Pliny, who says that Sylla
caused somo "stonc-laid" work to be
made; and from his aud other sources OF
evidence we are justified in assuming tho
time of it's introduction here to have been
about eighty years b. 9. This date CORE
spends with the destruction of Corlhth,
when precious objects of all kinds were
carried to Rome, and naturally created
wish in the minds Of wealthy Romans to
possess mosaics as well as other luxurious
embellishments. A very learned Italian
writer has divided Roman mosaics into
four classes, namcly-tcsselated and sec
tile, applied to pavemcnts generally; lie
tile and vermiculated or pictorial applied
TO walls and vaults. OF these the tcssc-
lated is probably the most ancient, and
consisted of small cubes of marble, sell
dom averaging more than tlree-quarters
| of M inch square, worked by hand into
such gcomctrical figures as, when com
bincd, would best compose larger figure
equally geometrical, but OF course more
intricate. 1t is probable that the first
colors used were black and white. The
best samples of this tesselated work oc.
cur ut Pompeii and ut the baths OF
Caracalla; but very fine specimens have
been found in this country. The sectile
or sliced work was formed, some say, of
the different slices of marble of which
| figures and ornaments were made; others
hold that these slices were never en-
ployed to initiate figures or any actual
subject, but produced their effect solely
through the shape, color and vein OF the
marbles which were contrastcd. 1t Is
believed that no piece of fragment OF
ancient scctilo work initiating n subject
of any kind has yet been found; and ii IT
had been so employed we must have had
examples at Pompeii, where the student
may find all varieties Of mosaic pavemen
known to either Greek or Roman. Ih
most noble specimen of sectile work no'
oxtant is the splendid pavement OF tn
Pantheon at Rome, where the princlpd
marbles are arranged, each OF gred
superficial extent, of alternate round an
square slabs. Tho building OF til
Pantheon was finished about thirty year
| before the Christian err. This kind
. work required the employment of cost
, marbles, and no remains of it have bee
l discovered in any other country than
Italy.-Pottcry Gazette.

Juvenile Mortality.

Ono Of tho most mysterious phenom-
ena of human existence is the largo per
oentage of mortality among young chill
dren. A fearful proportion OF the deaths
everywhere are those Of persons who
have just begun TO live. Even when
due allowance is made for faults Of nurs-
ing and training, it appears hardly posi-
bic that any improvement can offset
the inherited weakness from which 30
many children suffer, and, us yet, science
has taught little concerning those epi-
denies which find the majority of their
victims among the little ones. Still, in
telligent care and favorable surroundings
can do much. The English statistics,
much more full and accurate than those
of our own country, show that in the
rural counties the mortality Of children
under five years Of age does not exceed,
and often falls below, forty in the thou
sand. In the cities and towns the aver
age is much greater, ranging from about
iifty-nine in the thousand, in Portsmouth,
to over nincty-five in Birmingham and
Sheffield, and to over one hundred and
three in Liverpool. In nineteen large
towns, containing IN aggregate of mil
lion and nearly twenty-four thousand
children, the deaths for year from their
number were 82,250 This is fearful
number, and no doubt the figures were
increased through causes which might
have been avoided. Still, had every.
thing been done, the little victims must
have been counted by myriads. Al
things are, it is probable that in very
many cases continued life would not have
been blessing, but the quaint old cpl
taph,
| $50 soon was done for,
| Iwonder what | was begun for,
will nevertheless suggest itself. f.-Cincin
