What Maggie Mitchell Says.

In order that any of our young
friends who are indulging in day
dreams of "a career upon the stage"
may gain a hint of the measureless
price to be paid for success as an
actress, we submit the following ex-
tract from a bit of Maggie Mitchell's
experience as given by herself to the
North american ReUieU.
1t would be bold for me to pretend
to descry the chances of success for the
actress of the future. 1t is lottery,
this profession of ours, in which, after
all, even the prizes are not very con-
siderable.
Ny own days, spent most of them
far away from my children, and the
comforts and delights of my home, are
full of exasperating labors.
Rehearsals and other business occupy
me from early morn to the hour of
performance, with brief intervals for
rest and food and little sleep.
In the best hotels my time is SO in
vaded that / can scarcely live comfort
ably, much less luxuriously. At the
most, existence becomes torment and
a burden.
am the eager yet weary slave Of
my profession, and the best it can do
for me-who am fortunate enough to
be included among its successful mem
bers-is to barely palliate the suffering
of forty weeks exile from my own
home and family.
For those of our calling who have to
make this weary Mound year after year,
with disappointed ambitions and de-
feated hopes as their inseparable COM
pany, can feel from the bottom of my
heart.
Each season makes the life harder
and drearier; each year robs it of one
more prospect, one more chance, one
more opportunity to try and catch the
fieeting bubble III another field.

Mechanical Power OF Roots.

w. +. Stone tells us in the Ameri-
can Agricult,trist of some of the strik-
ing results of the mechanical force ex-
erted by growing roots. They have, he
says, been unearthed from compact,
gravelly soil, where the struggle for
room had been SO fierce that they be-
came distorted out of all natural shape.
1t is not unusual to find trees growing
in the clefts of lodges, showing unmis-
takably that the expansion of the roots
has forced the rock apart. A case is
cited, on good authority, of a root of
the sugar maple that had pushed it's
way under rock weighing nearly two
tons, and by it's enlargement lifted it
entirely from its bed. Trees have been
observed growing on the bare rock, rest
ing upon their roots which ran out into
the soil on either side, and yet these
roots, supporting the enormous weight
of the tree, formed each year new
growth on their underside, and lifted
the tree by the space of it's thickness
until seven inches of wood had been
formed under the severe pressure.

Woman's Work.

The quiet fidelity with which a
woman will dishwash her life away for
her husband and children is marvel of
endurance. Here is the servitude of
woman heaviest-no sooner is her work
done than it requires to be done again
Men take jobs, work on them, finish
them, and they are over for good and
all. The prospect of ending them and
drawing pay for the labor is alluring,
but no such allurements are held out
for the wife. She washes Monday
after Monday the same garments until
there is nothing more of them to wash !;
then they are replaced by others of
new material just like them, and the
rubbing and wringing goes on forever.
She mends the stockings with tireless
fidelity, the same holes meeting her
gaze week after week, for If there is a
dsned place in sock "he" invariably
puts his irrepressSble toe through it.
Every morning the rooms are put in
order only to be in the widest disorder
by the time night falls.
There are no jobs, each one different I;
no pay day. The same socks, the same
washing, the same room every time.
There is too little brightness in the
lives of women in the country. They
have too little help in their domestic

recreation and mental food, the home
will become dull and prosy, and the
energetic and ambitious, longing for
change, will go out from it and seek
broader and more diversified life.
A happy childhood and home asso-
ciated with delightful memories have
power to hold young men and women
as with chains of steel. Farmers have
much leisure in the winter. and if they
would manage to make home an at
tractive place, it would be easier than
it is to keep the children on the farm,
and to inspire them with q love of their
fathers vocation. Farming is essential
to national growth, and ought to com
mand the services of the most enter
prising and energetic young men of our
day.
The Thanksgiving festivals often in
dictate what homes have been made
most happy in the past by these gather
ings and reunions. A happy home is
usually an enduring one Youths

No Mystery to Him.

A stubbed farmer, who had come to
market with load of potatoes, entered
a restaurant near the Central market
and called for dozen oysters on the
half-shell. A couple of jokers hap
pened to be in the place, and, while one
attracted the farmers attention for q
moment, the other dropped a bullet
into one of the oyster shells. The
man gulped down one after another,
until he got the one with the bullet in
his mouth. Calmly and quietly he bit
at the lead with his teeth-calmly and
quietly he removed it from his mouth
and turned to the light.

Blowing Women.

Women are daily acquiring business
qualifications long considered beyond
their reach, and L do not doubt that
their scope will soon include playing in
bands. A day or two ago L read an
account of some experiments with brass
instruments in Germany. Some doctor
there, the name of whom l forget, said
blowing horns would cure consumption
if practiced before the disease had
taken firm hold. They got some ladies
to try the plan and nearly half the
number recovered. / attribute the
good health of my wife to the same
practice When married her she was
very delicate, but now she tips the
beam at 1877, the gain being the result
of her efforts with cornet. She has
been playing for thirteen years, but
can't make good music, simply because
she has no musical talent. 1t is amusing
to see woman learning. How she
draws long breaths and puffs out her
cheeks, and blows and blows as if she
was q bellows in blacksmith shop and
the fate of the world depended on her
getting the fire glowing. They'll take
O cornet, for instance, an instrument
difficult to handle properly, and exhaust
all their breath at a squirt, then
gradually rise to the tips of their toes
while elevating the cornet above their
heads looking for all the world as if
they were trying TO force wind from
their shoe-tops. ID Musician, IN

Make the House Attractive.

1t is common complaint that
farmers sons are deserving the farm.
Instead of following the occupation of
their fathers, they flock to the cities
and larger towns to work at q trade or
engage in mercantile life. One cause
of this exodus from the farm is that the
house is not attractive. In too many
farm-houses the family life is one ~hor-
rid grind" with few pleasures and
scarcely any recreation. Books are
rare, and literary and scientific papers
almost unknown. From early morn
til bedtime it is work, work. There is
little conversation or reading or music
to relieve the monotony.

Bullets I'm the Ball-ROOm

A young fellow went to a doctor TO
have his legs examined, and there came
near being consultation of physicians
over the case. His shins were black and
blue in spots, and he didn't know what
was the matter. He said when he at
tended dances, and was waltzing, he
often felt peculiar sensations on the
shin bones as though he had been struck
with something hard, but he didn't
know but it was nervous prostration.
The doctor went to the next dance, and
when the young man felt the peculiar
sensation, he whistled, and stopped
waltzing, and led the girl up to the
doctor. IL was soon discovered that
the trouble arose from the small leaden
bullets that girls wear in the bottom OF
dresses, TO make them set well. The
young man only dances quadrilles now.

The father of the late Duke of Port
land used to say that he was the
wealthiest living Englishman, for,
though his revenue might not be SO
large as that of some others, no one
had more available cash. Lord Derby
is i'll similar agreeable position. His
income from land alone is 9167, 900 per
annum, and he may be credited with at
least as much more as will make up
100000 per annum. For his Irish
estates, which he wisely sold, he
received 9160,OO0 Then he has 60, 900

where there is baby to care for ought
to be set down as one of the regular
expenses as much as the potatoes for
the family. A mothers health, both
of body and mind, is worth more than
additional heres of land, or finer live
stock. The heart should not be allowed
to grow old. Life should not have
lost its charm, the heart its spirit, and
the body its elasticity at 40 years.
And yet how many women are faded
and wan, and shattered in mind and
health, long before they are 40. All
the JOY of life is not in youths morning.
If we so will it, We can to the last
moments of life be at least negatively
happy.

CHICAGO Times: Last evening a
man named William McNulty entered
the Hyde Park police-station and told
story that, no doubt, made the re-
mains of the good George Washington
turn over in his grave. He had en-
listed in the army, at the tender age of
Is years-in 1S43-for five years. The
enlistment was renewed for the same
length of time in 1S4S, 1853 and 1858.
Serving under Grant at Vicksburg, he
was taken prisoner The Confederates
took him South and finally into Next
co. There, at the time Macmillan was
shot, McNulty had rope around his
neck twice, but was finally saved. In
1866 he was captured by a gang of
"Greasers, and until recently had been
a prisoner in the Sierre Madre mount
aims. He tried to escape, and was
shot with several bullets in the shout
der and abdomen, besides losing por-
ton of one foot. He now has a cop
per bullet in his neck which entered
his mouth, and at present reclines
peacefully on the carotid artery. His
hands and feet have been nearly shot
to pieces, and he carries bullet in his
head which penetrated between tho
eyes. He escaped recently when the
band was captured, and is now on his
way home to Adrian, Mich. He has
not heard from his old home for
twenty-five years. The good people
of Adrian should extend proper re-
ception to Mr.. McNulty.

A BURLINGTON correspondent says
that the Vermont law giving women
the right to vote for school officers and
to hold educational offices, which has
been in force three years, is practically
a failure. The law is obscure in its
terms, and too little interest has been
taken by the women in its provisions to
obtain a judicial Interpretation of it.
OF the 241 towns in the State, twenty
have this year chosen women for Su-
perintendents of Schools, but in no
case, so far as this correspondent knows,
has such choice been brought about
by the votes of women. Of the twenty
the majority are clergymen's wives.
Female Superintendent were not a
novelty in the State at the time of the
passage of this law, but the legality of
their election had not previously been
formally recognized.
