rna search Ahandonad.

The search for the body of John @. Smith,
who was accidentally knocked overheard by
the jib boom OF his boat and drowned last
week, near Lepsic Greek, was given up yes
terday by Robert T. Moody, who returned
from that locality yesterday, having almost
given up the hope of finding the body of the
drowned man unless it is discovered after it
rises to the surface. The wife of the drowned
man is still unaware of her husbands death,
as she is still too weak to be told the fact.

An Excellent Plan.

When a girl is ten years old, she
should he given certain household
duties to perform according to her
size and strength, for which sum
of money should be paid her week
ly. She needs little pocket money,
and the knowledge how to spei- d it
judiciously, which can so well be
given by a mother to her little girl.
She should be required to furnish a
part of her wardrobe with this
money. For instance. if she gets ten
cents week. she should purchase
all her stockings, or all her gloves,
as the mother may decide; and do
ing this under the mothers super
vision, she will soon learn to trade
with Judgment and economy. OF
course. the mother will see to it that
the sum is sufficient to do this, and
vet leave little for the child to
spend just as she pleases. This will
supply healthy stimulous; it will
give her pr per ambition and pride
in her labor, and the ability to use
money properly. AS she grows
older, these household duties should
be increased. with a proportionate
increase of money paid for the per
.formance. os them. We know of a
ladv who divides the wages of ser
want among her three daughters.
There is a systematic arrangement
of their labor, which is done with a
thoroughness and alacrity rarely
found, either with a hired girl, or a
daughter who feels that she has to
do il with nothingto encourage and
stimulate her in the work.

The Plain OF Death.

Nearly every one has read Of the
Journey Of Death ninety miles wide,
located in the western part of New
Mexico. 1t is a plain covered with
grass and delightful to the eye, but
was for some years entirely devoid OF
water. The soil was of q peculiarly
porous quality, but would not hold
the rain that fell on the surface. II
Was the great bugbear of emigrants
travelling through the Southwest,
hundreds of whom with their cattle
have perished of thirst within its
confines. Some individual, howev-
er, went over it prospecting for water
and finally after expending some
thousands of dollars, succeeded in
striking an abundance of water in a
well dug about midway Of the plain,
where he made considerable money
supplying emigrants with water
The government afterward bought
the well. making it free, paying the
owner very considerable sum fol
it. Since that, however, the railroad
has been built across the plain and
the company has dug innumerabls
wells, so that the plain has become a
real grazing ground.

Pastimes for Ladies or Leisure.

Can you guess, asks correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, what
is the newest fashionable diversion
for youEg women of wealth and lei
sure? Dressing live dolls. That is to
say, they make toys of little girls
sisters, nieces, cousins, anything in
the shape of a little girl will do, if
she be comely. This has suddenly
become a rage in certain circles. /
know an only daughter who, having
no girl relatives, uses the 3-year-old
offspring of one of her papa's poor
tenants, pretty little chit on whom
she placed costly costumes with all
the ardor of fresh pursuit. The
child is as cute as possible in Kate
Greenaway garments, and my lady
takes delight in dressing her after
some quaint picture. Two or three
afternoons a week she is arrayed in
something novel and take out for q
walk or drive. OF course that will
not last long, and the child will soon
be returned to calico. 1t is not right
for rich women to divert themselves
in any such way, nor is there any
excuse for it, now that it is fashion
able to do art needle work.
Some ingenious girls of my &C.
quaintance are making their own
capes, muffs and cuffs by sewing to-
gether fancy feathers from the wings
and the breasts of native birds, which
they fasten to thin silk or muslin,
line with satin and edge with a bor-
der Of feathers. arrange as fringe.
Decorating with feathers, in fact, is
greatly in vogue for amusement.
Some are wearing collars and small
muffs of dark velvet bordered with
their own hands with feathers; those
of ducks pheasants, peacocks, etc.
being employed. The plumsge in
tended for trimming hats and bon
nets is also purchased and taken to
pieces to fancifully decorate other
articles of wear.
