An Actress Life.

When have we read anything sadder
than Maggie Mitchell story of what is
an actress lifep She is what is called a
successful actress, and thus she writes to
the North american Repiew:
at would be bold for me to pretend
to descry the chances of success for the
actress of the future. 1t is a lottery, this
profession of ours, in which even the
prizes are, after all, not very considera-
BILE. My W days, spent most of them
far from my children and the comforts
and delights of my home, are full of ex-
hausting labor. Rehearsals and other
business occupy me from early morning
to the hour of performance, with brief
intervals for rest and food and a little
sleep. In the best hotels my time is SO
invaded that L a scarcely live comfort
ably, much less luxuriously. At the
worst, existence becomes a torment and
a burden. l 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 men,
bers-is to barely palliate the suffering OF
a fortk weeks exile from my own house
and my family.
For those of our calling who have to
make this weary round, year after year,
with disappointed ambitions and de-
feated hopes as their i%nseparable 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 chance, n more opportunity to
try and catch the fleeing bubble in
another field"
Read that, foolish girls who are hank
ering for the glare.and excitement Of life
on the stage.-M. Y. Independent.

A Locomotive Sunk Out Of Sight.

A locomotive ran through q broken
bridge on the Kansas Pacific Railway,
across Kiowa Greek, several years ago,
sinking into the mud at the bottom, and
has never since been heard from, though
repeated efforts have been made, by
digging and boring, to 0 so valu-
able a piece of property. The bottom
is quioksand, but even quicksands have
limits, and it seems very singular that
the longest boring-rod has failed
to find any trace Of the sunken
engine. By-and-by the silent, mys-
terious operation will drain the
quicksand and harden it into rock, and
then, long after the Kansas Pacific Road
has been forgotten, and the Kiowa
Greek has vanished from the map, some
future scientist will discover a curious
piece of mechanism, undoubtedly the
work of human hands, lying under SO
many hundred feet of sandstone, and
will use the fact as a basis of calculating
how many million years old the human
ace must be.-Boston Transcript.

There is Matthew Morecabbage, for in

Educational Queries.

Does the committing to memory OF
sentences and definitions in many cases
really convey any idea to the child's
mini of the subject matter attempted to
be taught?
Is it not suggestive that a story full o!
historical or geographical facts told Z
group of children, by one who likes to
tell them such stories, will hold its place
in their memories without any repeti-
ton. while the same children may drone
a whole day over half q dozen nswer
to be memorized without knowing in the
least what they mean or implyp
Is the mind u reservoir to be crammed
with facts or opinions which may or may
not be facts?
Or is it rather a mirror which the more
it il polished the better therein are seen
the numberless facts all about usP
is there nothing suggestive in the fact
that well educated mel, who can tell
almost everything which has been print
ed in books, are working for far less than
the wages of a good cook in writing what
they know, and a great deal they don't,
for rich booksellers?
Is there anything suggestive in the fact
that. if a bow is turned loose, he will
learn the geography aud topography of
a whole country in a months time, when
he will sweat over his written geography
for a whole year, and, when asked, will
declare a lake to be a body of water sur
rounded by-water?
And why is it that the boy learn to load
a gun, build a rabbit trap, or drive a
horse. ten times quicker than he does
his geography lesson9
And if mechanical teachers, who work
chiefly for the money. hear words and
sentences mechanically committed to
memory by the dear children out of
school books, mechanically written for
money, will il not all resultin a mechan-
ical, parroty sort of education?
What did Garfield mean when he said
that it was a wonder that so many Amer
lean children survived the horrors of a
public school educatiOn?"
Why not have a few grown men and
women try the experiment of going to
school five hours per day for eight
months and studying from a dozen books,
more or less. in order at the end of that
time they may look into their minds and
see how much they have really learned.

Dynamite Supersedes the Axe.

A Somerset County, (Me.) firm have a
pulp mandatory, consuming spruce
and hemlock timber. Their operations
are large, and instead of practising the
slow method of chopping down trees and
saving them up, in order to get the
wood into the pulp mill, they blow them
to splinters with dynamite. An eye
witness thus describes the process: A
fine large spruce was selected, and q hole
was driven in about ten inches,
the chips were removed, and a
dynamite cartridge was inserted. The
dynamite comes in sticks like a candle,
and resembles moist brown sugar. A
fuse was attached, and the men sought
a place of safety. In a few seconds there
was a mighty roar, and the great tree was
up in the air about ten feet, and then,
with a swoop and a crash, it came to the
earth, splintered halfway to the trunk.
Dynamite is not cheap, but taking into
consideration the time, labor, wear and
tear of tools saved, is not as expensive as
might be supposed

a RELIC.

We found, that night, when, free from pain at
at last,
She slumbered In the darkened room below,
In her old Bible pressedand folded fast
A flower gathered fifty years ago.
Wondering we scanned it there, so brown with
age,
So withered, and with curious eyes real DER
The writing traced beneath iton the page
A date, a dim matchmaking more
And asked, with eyes that filled we knew not
why,
And hands that touched it gently. reverently.
What dear memorable of days gone by
This little faded floweret might be.
Why had she kept it hidden there away
Through all those yearsl What hopes, what
Joys that were,
What golden memory of some far day,
Spoke softly from those withered leaves to
her?
What potent talisman was this, to start
To life again that old forgotten time,
Renewing in her chill and wintry heart
The flush and fragrance of her youths glad
prime?
Had hand Of lover gathered it that day,
That fair, bright summer day, so long ago?
What sweet, shy dreams lay folded there away?
What maiden hopes and fears? We migh
not know.
Silent we stood. We felt a sense of shame,
As those who, wandering. enter awa
Some holy place. All mel we were to blame,
Softly wei turned, and left it lying there.
But when we gathered for our last long look
Upon her, in her calm AMI tranquil rest,
We drew the flower from the worn old book
And laid it gently on her peaceful breast.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.
Why Mysterious Physical Troubles Arouse
Special Dread-A Professional
Experience.

Few things give more pain than dread or ap-
prehension. Most people are able to face ap-
parent danger heroically, but the sudden and
unexpected coming Of some indefinite calami-
ty very naturally strikes terror to even the
bravest. For this reason lightning and tor
nadoes are considered terrible; their coming
and going are SO sudden, unanuounced and
unknown. For this same reason an unknown
disease, some poison in the blood, some mala-
dy that is gradua ly undermining the life, is
specially dreaded by all thinking people. And,
indeed, there are good reasons for such dread,
Tor modern science has discovered that some
yirulent disorders show the least signs in their
BEGINNINGS, while they have the worst posi-
Die symptoms. We K DIV of many persons
who have dull and uncertain pains in various
portions Of the body; who are unnaturally tired
one day and apparently well the next; who
nave an enormous appetite at times and q
loathing OF food soon thereafter. Such per-
sons are really in a dangerous condition, even
though they may not realize it. Tho follow
ing statement OF a most prominent physician,
VINO has had unusual opportunities forinvesti-
cation, is of SO striking and important a ma
ture that it will be read with interest by all:

Without sheep English farmers
could not keep up the fertility of their

kept in England, while Americans only
average one sheep to thirty-four acres.
Preserving Smoked Meats: This can
be done by packing them in pounded

An experienced farmer recommends
that oats be soaked sufficiently t o swell
before feeding them to stock. Ground
oats are in proper condition at all times,
but millers are not partial to grinding
oats, and many farmers feed them un-

partly torn away, and facility of diges-
ton increased. Poultry will carefully
pick out the soaked grains from the dry

ter.-Chicago Times.
To prevent scarlet flannel or worsted
goods of any description from losing
their color when washed, put half a cup
of hour-with a quart of cold water and
let it boil about fifteen minutes, and then
mix with the warm suds in which the
| goods are to be washed. Do not rub on
a board, but squeeze and rinse up and
down several time. Make the suds be-
fore putting the article in, and so avoid
rubbing soap on it. If very much soiled
use several waters; have them of the
same temperature if. possible.-M Y.

How housemaids groan over steel
tenders and fire irons! but yet, with a
little care, they are not difficult to keep
bright; a mixture of sifted emery pow
der (not the coarse, as it scratches) and
olive oil, applied now and then, and
succeeded by a smart polishing with a
soft leather, is all that is necessary to
make them always look nice. Brick
dust should never be used, as it scratches
the steel. For keeping fire irons packed
up during the summer rub them over
with olive oil and sprinkle with un
Stacked lime, wrap in paper and put
