The Wonders of Compound Interest.

One cent placed at compound
interest at the beginning of the Chris
tan era at per cent. per annum
amounts TO 81 in October 1874. At !
per cent. it amounts to 500 in Septem-
Der, 1S47. At I per cent. it amounts to
81, 900 In December 1849. At l per
cent. it amounts TO 81 600, 600 in June,
1852. At 2 per cent it amounts to
800, 900, 900, 900, 900 in June, 1861. At
6 per cent. it amounts to one quatordc-
cillion in April, 1858.
These calculations are true to cent,
and true to a second, and now few
words to show the mighty power of
numbers TO enumerate. One per cent.

one second is over 800 decilions of dol

pounds, and is worth $350,000. The
number of cubic feet in the earth is
forty sextillions, and if it was solid

II sculptor would be under no tempta-
ton to correct in molding o bust of
her; an elegant figure. not light, not
airy or angelic; little heavy, but pill
able and graceful, and smile that
lights up her face. Her disposition is
English; that is, serious but capable of
humor, and with keen appreciation of
the finest things and purest things in
art and in life. Least of all Victoria's
children she resembles the old royal
family, and most of all of them the
Gotha branch of the house of Saxony.
She thinks for herself, is independent,
original, sensible and impulsive. If
she had not been drilled in the exper-
fence and restraints of court life, her
feelings would often run away with her
Judgment. She has splendid talent
for housekeeping, without which no
woman is fit to live, even a Princess.
She served an apprenticeship at Os-
borne cottage to cook, confectioner,
laundress of fine things, seamstress and
dressmaker. Every day for years a dish
appeared on the Queens table at Os-
borne that was made by one of her Mai
esty's daughters ;once week tin box
full of cakes, which were mixed and
baked by them, was sent to the German
Crown Princess, with fruits and flowers
from the cottage garden. Princess
Louise started in married life with the
determination not he the rival, on their
own ground, of plutocrats' wives. There
was to be comfort as well elegance in
her establishment, but no ostentation.
AT Rideau Hall, her Canadian official
abode, she affects more state. Louise
entertains delightfully."-, though SHE is
liable to forget mere feathers and
founces in company and becomes really
absorbed in intelligent conversation
with q select few of her guests. -The

Trse Homely Woman,

What ladies are the easiest to wait
upon?"
""The homely Ones replied the clerk,
emphatically. Seeing a look of mere
dulity upon the reporters face he con-
tinued:
Its so; I'm not bracing you a bit.
The prettier they are the harder they
are to please. A handsome girl has
been so fattered and cajoled and petted,
from her youth up, that she has lost
her head She enters with a fiutter,
and must be shown half hundred cos
metics. Then she settles down to a
steady twenty minutes gossip between
them all. She is changeable, fuctuat-
ing and peevish, and if you venture to
make n suggestion she skips from the
store as though fired from the mouth of
q cannon. Now, on the other hand, a
homely girl has mind of her own.
She is not constantly cloyed with admi-
ration and petting from her admirers,
and has drunk but precious little from
the golden bowl of adulation. But she
knows what she wants, asks you for it de-
cisively, and leaves you with smile that
would be charming if her mouth was
only yard and half smaller and her
teeth little less like elephant tusks.
God grant us a prosperity of homely
girls. Life would still be endurable
without pretty faces, but Heaven help
us if we lose our homely ones.

Looking Up Glucose.

A correspondent recently wrote to us
inquiring what kind of stuff was glu-
cose. We didn't know. We had heard
good deal said about glucose, and
somehow we had imbibed the impression
that it was some kind of newly-dis-
covered glue. However, being anxious
to please our readers, and give univer-
sal satisfaction all around, we started
out to investigate the subject.
A Saginaw man once told us that
brewers put glucose in lager beer, so,
in the interest of pure science, we
bought glass of beer, and while wait
ing for the sea foam to cool off little we
remarked casually: "Of course, you
put plenty of good, pure glucose In
your beer, don't you?" And may we
be blessed if that bar tender didn't come
round the end of the counter as mad as
a hornet and as red in the face as
boiled shrimp, with big, brass faucet
in his hand, and tried to tap us on the
nose, but we fled with a mocking laugh.
A Wisconsin school-marm had limited
that she labored under the impression
that the candy manufacturers used glu-
cose III the preparation of caramels,
butter-scotch and sugar monkeys, so
we went in and asked candy-butcher
if he had any vanilla larrycodope Dreaded
with glucose, and the man looked so
bad for moment that we were sorry
we had said anything about it, and then
he pitched his coat into the coal box
and his hat into an apple barrel, and
came for us on the dead run, and we
had to out and seek further in the pur-
suit of the desired information.
We spoke to retail grocer about
buying barrel of standard "a" coffee
sugar, and told him that of course he
would see that there was the right guam
tity of glucose in it, and we are ghost
if he didn't try to stab us with butter
tester. Then we went home. We are
obliged to give up the conudnrum. If
the correspondent could only ask us an
easy one, little one for q cent, we
would try and wrestle with it. But there
is every appearance just now that we
shall have to acknowledge ourselves
stumped. Every day we hear of some
town or community which wants to
establish glucose factory, but what is
the use of starting mandatory to turn
out something which nobody wants, or
knows anything about, and which seems
to drive people into a frenzy when Won
speak to them about it? No, we don't
know what glucose is, and, what's more,
we don't care a continental.-Cheek.

Beautiful Indian Women.

Many half-breed Cherokee women in
the Indian Territory are cultivated in
mind, beautiful in person, industrious
in habit and will compare well with the
more favored woman in the North and
East. They have magnificent heads of
hair, long and black, all their own, and
with Jet black eyes and pearly teeth,
dressed in that fashionable attire in
which they all love to appear, they
would not be recognized in Eastern
drawing-rooms as that part of the orig
inal inhabitants of our country known
as squaws, a name long since repudiated
Let it be known, then, that white men
of worth and character are popular
among the beauties of the Territory,
and four out of five who come TO make
a home among them marry these dusky
maidens, get a citizenship, surround
themselves with ample acres and the
comforts of life, participate in the
affairs of government and become the
most active and wealthy citizens of the
Territory. A chief trait in the char
acter of many white men both in this
country and out of it is to get possession
of its productive lands. BY committing
matrimony, they can kill two birds with
one stone-get a wife and farm too.-

taste TO divine what is suitable and be-
coming, and grace enough to put it on
straight-an accomplishment more rare
thar might be thought. But, alas
Greek noses are not exactly in fashion.
Our national taste has proved degener-
ate, and our tickle fancy has turned to
the nez retrousse, which has even found
its way into the poets. "Tiptilted like
a flower" says our Laureate of such
nose. If the cogitative nose appear in
full development on a woman's face, she
will probably be strong-minded and ut
terly careless of chiffons, if not of her
own looks. OF the Jewish nose the
same observations are true as with re-
gard to the Roman nose-that is, when
the nose is large. onally-though
not very frequently-thisn nose is beau
tifully formed, and not too large for our
modern notions of feminine loneliness.
1t may then be treated as L have sug-
gested in remarking on the Greek var
iety.
The turn-up nose may be adorable,
or it may be a trial Much depends ON
its complexion; much on the precise
degree of upward curve. This curve
should be similar to those at the COR
ners of the lips, and, when it is, what
piquant harmony is the result Oh,
lucky girl with such nose, what
queen of hearts you may be! Add but
the instinct of coquetry to this nose and
you have a creature as dangerous as
Helen to the peace of man. 1t must
not be q shaky, fieshy, fiabby thing;
curt decision and spice of dainty self
assertion must characterize it. 1t was
such an ideal nose that inspired the fol-
lowing sentiments ave confess
lurking penchant, a sort of sneaking
affection which we cannot resist, for the
celestial nose in woman. 1t does not
command our admiration and respect
like the Greek, to which we could bow
down as to goddess, but it makes sad
work of our affections. The snub, too,
is not so unbearable as in man. 1t is
great marrer of beauty, undoubtedly:
but, merely regarded as an index of
weakness, it claims our kindly consider
alton. A woman, moreover, has gener-
ally tact sufficient TO conceal (often to
their entire annihilation) those UMPIRE
possessing characteristics of the snub
and the celestial, which in a weak man
become every day more and more
strongly marked. A celestial nose in a
woman is frequently an index of wit"
And this, be it remembered, was written
long before the apotheosis of the turned
up nose.
And what style of architecture are we
to construct our dress upon ? ask the
owners of such noses. Anything CO.
quettish and airy, frivolous and quaint.
Severe simplicity consorts not with the
snub. A little insolence of ornament
suits it; floating ribbons, a rampant al
grette; a head Stunning over with
curls; founce turned back and forth;
a hat twisted north and south, east and
west. Such as these would be incon-
gruous with the Greek, an insult to the
Roman, an injury to the Jewish, and
fiat contradiction to the cogitative.
With the "tip-tilted" they make happy
harmony

Woman's Work.

The quiet fidelity with which a wom-
an will dishwash her life away for her
husband and children is marvel 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 ma
terial just like them, and the rubbing
and wringing goes on forever. She
mends the stockings with tireless fideli-
ty, the same holes meeting her gaze
week after week, for if there is darned
place i'll sock "he" invariably puts his
irrepressible 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, no terms, no pay. 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 occupations.
The nurse" i'll q house where there is
a 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 acres of
land, or finer live stock. The heart
should not be allowed to grow old.
Life should not have lost its charm. the
heart It's spirit, and the body its elastici-
ty at 40 years. And yet how many
women are faded and wan, and shat
tered in. mind and health, long before
they are forty. All the JOY of life is
not in youths morning. five so will it,
we can, to the last moment of life, be at
least negatively happy.
