THE Earl of Onslow, who is one OF
Mr.. Wizards invited guests. says there
is strong Temperance feeling in En-
gland, and that it is noticeable in the
streets and private dinner parties,
where the quantity of wine drank is less
than it used to be under the old regime.

sas includes cities of the first and sec
ond class in its provisions. BY a ma
iOrity vote of the inhabitants the sale of
Intoxicating drinks may be prohibited
within three miles of any church or

vote on the question.

admitted to her cell and locked in for
the night.
GROCERs' LICENSES are thought by
the Woman's Union of the Church of
England Temperance Society to work
much mischief in promoting drunken

shame would keep from seeking sa-

household supplies, and drift into hab-
its of intemperance before their fami-
lies or friends suspect the state of the
case.

The British West Indies.

Fifty years ago the Emancipation act
was passed. A couple of years previous
ly the value of West Indian exports was
80, 932, 800 In 1880 the value of eX-
ports was fS,904, 600. Meanwhile the
population has grown from 95S,S4O to
|, ,493, ,O62. A population more than
half as much again produces for eXpor-
tation millions worth less. OF the
diminished exports two millions worth,
it has been calculated, is raised by the
labor of a hundred thousand coolies.
Each negro is computed to produce not
more than IS worth of exports as
against more than double the value half
a century since. Wages are small. In
Jamaica they are ordinarily shilling
dav. In Barbados and Trinidad, al
though the average is about the same,
men in crop time and by piece-work
frequently earn double. Wages of
women are a fifth or a sixth less.
Three pounds of rice or three pounds
and a half of corn meal, with
ten ounces of salt fish, or an equivalent
quantity of meat, are required to keep
in health a man and his wife if in
regular work. On scale somewhat
lower the food of household consist
ing of two parents and two children, it
is reckoned, would absorb a shilling
and eightpence halfpenny a day, leav-
ing little for rent, taxes and clothes. In
the United States similar family
would consume 480 pounds of meat and
80 bushels of grain. Except in Bar
bados and Trinidad the children of the
negroes are declared to be everywhere
miserably underfed. In Antigua, it has
been stated. the lamentations of the
hungry children are heard throughout
the estates and villages while the
mothers are away at work. In many
places the infant mortality exceeds 80
per cent. of the recorded deaths. A de-
sire, resulting from poverty, to escape
the pecuniary burdens of paternity
shows itself in the terrible figures of il
legitimacy. Sixty per cent. of the
births in Jamaica are illegitimate--

Education OF Girls.

To train the girl to become a wife
and mother, knowledge pertaining to
the whole household arrangements, to
cooking, washing, cleaning, mending-
the whole round of domestic employ
ments, is absolutely needful. To fail
so to educate the daughters, to give
them the best possible constitutions, is
to cheat an honest young man, to de-
fraud society, to imperil the harmony
of the home circle, and to cripple two
for life 1t may not be true that a de-
ficiency in these regards is sufficient
cause for complaint or censure, and
yet, as society is constituted, it is prob
able that poor bread, scorched meats,
watery potatoes, insipid tea and coffee,
and an untidy house, are among the
prominent sources of family differ
ences.
Let me say, and with emphasis, that
no woman with deformed chest, made
so by cruel corsets and lacing, the lungs
occupying but fraction of the space
intended for them by the Creator, the
blood but half purified, of necessity, the
liver and stomach so compressed and
crippled as to be unable to perform
their natural functions, can be the
mother of truly healthy children. No
one can thus destroy the power of the
lungs, on which so much depends. ex-
cite and inflame the whole system, the
nerves in particular, by strong acids,
excoriating spices and stimulants, and
still be prepared to rear children in the
best manner No one can impair
digestion by crippling the stomach
bound, as in wise, by corsets, ETC., and
then have the self-contrcL tAs patience
The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1883-10-04

and the cheerfiilness needful in the
management of the household, since
dyspepsia always produces more or less
impatience and irritability. And since
the woman is the outcropping of the
girl, the narrow-chested girl retaining
her deformity in womanhood, as in the
girl, in her whole management or mis-
management, so will be the woman and
the mother.
The great demand of the age is better
educated females educated in all re-
spects, their whole capabilities brought
into activity, since the health, vigor,
mental and moral power of the next
generation at least, will depend on their
condition more than all other influences
combined - leach after its kind"
The sickly mother will rear sickly
child, though that fecbleness may not
at first be manifest The peevish
mother-so during the most important
period of her earthly life-will produce
pecvishness in her offspring. The
grOveling, low, sensual, Incorporate
and vicious woman becomes just to that
extent the mother of Just such children,
as the future will demonstrate. If
these are facts, therefore, it is a matter
of vital Importance that our girls shall
be thoroughly educated to become wives
and mothers, not so much because that
is their highest position, as because the
true woman wishes to be a wife and
mother from the very aspirations of her
nature. If she is thus to become the
mother of the race, it is her right and
the duty which society owes her, to
have every possible facility to become
the highest type of such mother
healthy and wise.
While our boys are trained for the
trades, for farming, for the professions,
etc, it is as needful that the girls shall
be made intelligent in general, and that
some occupation shall be selected as a
means of support, that they may not
feel that they are but parasites in soci-
ETY.; that they were simply made to be
married at about twenty years OF age,
and then to be supported, pets to be
fondled-as long rs they seem to be pets
finely attircd and handsome dolls.
That most will be married is hoped, and
vet some will remain single, and as
su ch, it is but fair to them that they
! should be able in some way to secure an
| honest living, to respect themselves.
To bring them up (or let them come up)
to feel that they are too good to work
in any department of industry, too good
to be useful, is to rob them of self
respect, of true womanhood; nay, more,
it teaches them selhshncss, to disrespect
the mother, regarding her as just fit to
wait upon them, to be slave. Every
daughter-if the mother discharges her
whole duty-will be taught to be useful
first in the kitchen, in the nursery. in
the sitting room, as well as in the par
lor, at least if she has any idea of ever
having the care of Il family, If not,
she needs training in some of the trades
! that she need not remain Il hapger-On,a a
practical paupcr. Men and women
alike are placed in this world for labor,
usefulness labor Of body or mind, or
both.-Dr. Hannatori, IN Western Plo,0-

Royal ROutine-What the Princess Of
Wales Has to DO.

There must be a good deal of same
ness in the royal routine Of existence,
after all. | was struck with this in the
park yesterday while observing the
Princess of Wales as she was driving
along the sweep which extends from the
Marble Arch at the Oxford street en-
trance to the park to the gorgeous
statue of the Prince COnsort on the
Kensington side. In response to the
bows and sautations of the asscmblage
she bows her head, first to the right
and then to the left, continuously.
There is almost no cessation in the cX-
ercise. 1t is part of her duty in life.
And the bow is a study-a wonderful
medium between listlessness and cOrdi-
ality. The features remain quite smile
less; there is no suspicion of the smirk
of the popular favorlte of the footights,
for instance. But the eyes are full of
interest as they light on every passing
face, and it is impossible to entertain q
doubt that one has been bowed to, dis
tinctly and directly, by the Princess.
This is what so enchantS people-nOt
only people of a certain position in life,
but the poor people, the hard toilers of
the busy town, who stop on their way
to have look at the dear Princess.
There seems almost as keen q look of
interest in them upon her face as she
sees in theirs concerning her. No one
can see her without feeling an admira-
ton for her.
But one who looks beneath the sur
face of things must know, although so
well dissembled, that this is only acting
out the royal part. 1t can not be that
Alexandra really feels the interest her
features indicate in every passing
stranger who bows to her in the park.
And it must be considerable depriva-
ton to her in the way of talking with
those who accompany her-this con-
slant bowling. Yesterday her eldest
daughter was with her, and also one of
those cousinly grand German Ouch
-semi-royal-Ov on visit. The
ladies were reduced to helpless silence,
for so continuous was AleXandra's bow
ing she could not find time to talk to
them, and no doubt it is contrary to eti-
uuette for lesserlights converse with each
other when the great one can take no
part. How simple and elegant Alex
andras toilets always are. Always so
neat, compact and trim! During the hot
weather she has been wearing simple
washing prints to the park. Yesterday
the sky was slightly overcast, and she
was appropriately dressed in black silk
with small brocaded flowers in natural
colors. She wore tiny white lace bon
net, with black spotted net veil. Her
appearance of girlishness is one of the
most marvellous charms Of this stainless
Princess. London Letter

The Jumbo Of Crickets.

Throughout the whole of Utah the
cricket is one of the common objects Of
the country, but there are crickets, and
crickets, and it is just as well when in
search of the best article to ''see that
YOU get it." For consideration, there
fore, l we'll put the speculator on the
track of some of the grossest locusts that
ever devoured greenstuff-locusts, more
over, that squeak when pursued. Poets
(American poets esecially) are very
partial to what they are pleased to call
the cricket's merry chirp. But the
poets cricket is the insect of the
domestic hearth, pale-colored ghost of
a thing, all voice. and with an irregular
midnight appetite for the kitchen cloths
that are hung out to dry before the
stove. The Piutes' cricket is very much
otherwise. 1t is the Jumbo of crickets,
and lust as black. 1t lives on the slopes
of the Utah hills, among the sage brush,
and when alarmed tries invariably to
lump down-hill. But being all stomach,
and therefore top-heavy, so to speak. the
Unbalanced insect invariably rolls head
over heels, and every time it turns a
somersault it squeaks dismally. To
walk down the hillside, driving a
whole herd of these corpulent crickets
before me, used to amuse me lmmod-
erately, for the spectacle of SO many
fat things simultaneously trying to
lump doWn-hill, simultaneously rolling
head over heels, and simultaneously
squeaking. was mirthful enough to
drive the dullest care away.-PhH
Robinson, in Harper's Magazine.

of the red tongue. A straight line of
sixty feet drawn from the Indian to the
tree would pass over the snake. Now
the warrior creeps forward agan-not
a weed brcaking-not rustic to prove
his presence. Two -four-six!
See the snake! It's head is thrown back
its eyes shoot sparks-there goes the
deadly z-z-z-z-z of his rattle. The head
of the Indian is not three feet away as
he hears the ominous sound. He draws
back, but there is dart, flash, and
something strikes him full in the face
and is not shaken off until he springs
to his feet with cry heard for half a
mile around and rushes away in the
darkness.
What was it? The sentinel is wide
awake and upon his feet. Wife and
children have been startled from slum-
Der to grow white-faccd and trcmble.
Even the horses have raised their heads
and are peering into the night There
was single cry-the wild scream of a
human being suddenly terrified.
"lt was nothing but the
howl of a wolf" whispers the sentinel.
as he walks over to comfort wife and
children; and by and by all is quiet and
peaceful as before. The night grows
apace-the stars fade daylight breaks.
As the sun comes up the wagon moves
on its way aAd the brook and the camp
and the cottonwood are left behind.
"Yes, it was the howl of some wolf
prowling about" whispers the emigrant
to himself as he walks beside his wagon
and cautiously scans the prairie.
Three hundred feet to the left is
coiled snake, which darts its veno-
nous tongue at the rolling wagon. Half
mile beyond lies the dead body of the
Blackfoot-swollen, distorted-a horri
BILE sight under the light of the morning
sun. Overhead circles three or four
vultures of the prairie, and creeping
through the grass come the lank, hun
cry wolves to the feast. The wife
laughs, the children frolic, the husband
regains his light heart. Night wrote
the record of the serpents in the grass,
and he will never read it.-DetrO1 Free
