TEACHING GIRLS TO SEW.
The Ever-Enlarging System widens to Take
in Needle-Work.

The Ever-Enlarging System Widens to Take
in NeedIe-Work.
Philadelphia Record.
"One-Take the needle" ''Two-Take up
thread" ''Three-Draw needle and threat to-
gether." "Four-Thread needle"
Such were the orders given to the pupils at
the Ringgold Girls Grammar school, Eighth
and Fitzwater streets, yesterday. The attend
ants at the school given their first lesson in
sewing, and an hour was devoted to the subject
1t was intended that an effort should be made to
interest the girls in the matter, and the in
structor, taking up needle, explained how 1T
was manufactured, and gave an interesting dis
course upon the very useful article Afterwards
there a dlsquisition upon the thread. Then
the pupils were shown how to thread their
needles, this being done in the order given
above. The instructor passed among the girls
and showed them how to sew. Many of them
were totally ignorant upon the subject and
there were many fingers prcked with the sharp
pointed steel.
Miss Maxwell, the principal of the school, had
prepared for each pupil a small bag to contain
the implements for sewing. A week ago she re-
quested each girl to make the bags herself
Upon inquiry on Monday last the principal
learned that with but few exceptions, the chill
dren had had the bags made by their mothers or
female relatives, and that the percentage of
those who knew how to was very small
However, they evinced the greatest interest in
yesterday experiment, and the girls took as
naturally to the task as boy does to base ball.
Similar scenes to that described were enacted
yesterday in the grammar and secondary schools
of the Fourteenth. Nineteenth, Twenty sixth
Twenty seventh, Twenty ninth, Thirtieth and
Thirty first sections Thirteen of the teachers
who were instructed at the training school were
set to work yesterday. 1t is proposed to devote
one hour every week to each division in all the
schools of the city, and if the experiment proves
successful at the end of year, the system will
be improved and extended.

My Faith.
True Manliness.

My faith has been no holiday or Sunday faith,
but one for everyday use; faith to live
and die in, not to argue about 1t has had to
stand the wear and tear of life; it was not got in
prosperity. 1t has had to carry me through
years of anxious toll and small means, through
the long sicknesses Of those dearer to me than
my own life, through deaths among them, both
sudden and lingering. Few men of my age have
had more failures of all kinds; no man has de-
served them more by the commission of all
kinds of blunders and errors. Through all this
it has carried me, and has risen up in me after
every failure and every sorrow, fresher, clearer,
stronger. Why do 1 say ''itl' 1 mean He. He
has carried me through it ALL He who is your
head, and the head of every man, woman and
child on the earth, or who has ever been on it,
Just az much He is my head. And He will
carry US all through every temptation, trial. sor-
row we can ever have to encounter if we will
turn to Him, lay hold of Him, and cast them all
upon Him, as He has hidden US.

For untading fields and praires,
Where sense in vain has trod;
For the worlds exhaustless beauty;

THE CoACHMAN's BRIDE.
Fastidious Philadelphia Not Pleased with the
ElOping Celebrity.


Philadelphia Times.
If Mr.. Morosini's daughter had been endowed
with natural gifts or talents and had labored
hard and successfully to fit herself for an artistic
career, it is not likely that as many people would
have gone to hear her sing at an afternoon con-
cert as would have paid for printing the tickets.
But having achieved the unprecedented feat of
marrying a coachman, she has so completely
the sympathy of her kind as to have need of
neither talent nor skill; she has but to put her.
self on exhibition to draw crowd. The Chest
nut-street Opera house was packed yesterday
from bottom to top with a well-dressed and we'll
behaved audience, consisting mainly of women,
who had evidently come with the one purpose of
seeing this marvel of their sex. They listened
with due patience to nondescript series of per-
formances by German tenor in evening dress,
pianist in an overcoat and vininist in a cutaway
who gained wild applause by playing lullaby on
muted strings SO softly that he could not be
heard-and then settled themselves to watch
Madame Huskamp, in beaded black dress
and yellow gloves, singing her cavatina from
'Ernani" The celebrity proved to be quite
ordinary looking young person, very awkward
in manner with a pretty girlish voice and less
than the average schoolgirls knowledge of sing
ing What method she has acquired for the
forced omission of an occasional note is wholly
bad, and she has no idea of enumeration whatever.
a person SO slenderly equipped for an artistic
career, either in natural or acquired endow
ments, has seldom appeared upon metropolitan
stage. All this, however, need in no way inter
fere with her chosen career as a coachman's
bride, to which she is apparently suited and in
which her popular success is already achieved.
How long this success may last is a question for
her managers only, but it may be suggested that
the proper place for such an exhibition is
museum rather than a theater. By all means
let her gather the shekels while she may and
put them carefully by. The girl is no more to
be blamed for trading upon her notoriety than
are the women in sealskins who go to look at her
and discuss her personal appearance. 1t is a
pretty common business altogether.

ANT coEMPoRARY discusses "Girls as
Housekeepers." 1t strikes us that the
idea is plausible. With little teaching
we believe girls would make tolerably
good housekeepers, and it is strange the
idea has not been earlier promulgated.
Some persons have an idea girls can do
nothing but read Mrs. Alphabetical
Southworth's novels, and work green
and blue dogs ON black cloth; but this
is q mistake. Some girls have been
known to help their mothers wash dishes,
and it is believed that, with proper
training, the average girl would develop
into very successful housekeeper. We
