Old-Time Clam RoaStS.


Charles Island, which the American
Yacht Club is fitting up for its use,
was once the summer home of old An
santawae, who was the sachem OF all
the Shore Indians between the HUDSON
and Connecticut Rivers 1t is "A beau
ttul little island in Milford Bay, and
about three months every summer 1t
used to be dotted with the white birch
bark wigwams of Ansantawae. Old
Uncle PeIcg Abcrcrombie, who is 92
years old, and whose ancestors were
among the first settlers in Milford, is
full OF "reminiscences of the CLAIMS and
Indians of early days.
My great grandfather" he says,

summer. In july they'd thicken up,
and Just before AnSantawae rot here
you'd see a lot OF his braves ana
squawS working on his summer wig
wan on Charles Island. That was the
royal island. He used to spend three
months about the bay every year. and
eat and sleep on the island. It's a
great place for clans, you know, and
it's name, Poquahaug, means the land
of the clam.
They used to git off to the island

were beginning to turn, an there was

OF on the big flats 'twixt the island
and the shore the men used to wade in
their bare feet, and tread or feel out
the skulking hard clans. Meantime
the squaws on the island would be fix

in, and which was the only proper
thing that ever was got up to cook

woMAN's TENACITY or LIFE.

1t appears from the gathered statis-
tics of the world that women have 8
greater tenacity of life than men. Ma
ture worshipS the female in all its va
rietics, says the MOdcrH A3c Among
insects the male perishcs at a relatively
early period. In plants the scminate
blossoms die earliest, and are produced
on the weaker limbs. Female quadru-
peds have more endurance than the
males. In the human race, despite the
intellectual and physical strength OF
the man. the woman endures longest,
and will endure pain to which the
strong man succumbs. Xymotic dis
eases are more fatal to males and more
male children die than females. DE
ycrga asserts that the proportion dying
suddenly is about 100 women to 7SO
men; 1850 men in the United States in
1870 committed suicide to 2S5 women.
Intemperance, apoplexy, govt, hydro
cephalous, affections of the heart or
liver, scrofula, paral ysis, are far more
fatal TO males than females. Pulmona-
ry consumption, on the other hand, is
more deadly to the latter. Females in
the cities are more prone TO cOnSump-
ton than in the country All old coun-
tries not disturbed by emigration have
a majority of females in their popula-
ton. In ROYAL families the statistics
show more daughters than sons. The
Hebrew woman is exceptionally long
lived, the co.orcd man exceptionally
short lived. The married state is ia
vorablc to the prolongation of life
among women. DR., llough remarks
that there are from to 6 per cent
excess of females in the living popula-
tons. From which statistics we con-
clude that all women who can possibly
obtain one of those rapidly departing
men ought to marry, and that, as men
are likely TO become so very scarce,
they cannot be sufficiently priced by
the other sex.

PARTISAN CHILDREN.
How Children in France are Dressed
and Cared for.

The Champs Elysees Is one of the
public Fairgrounds of the wcl-to-do
Partisan children, and is almost given
up to them AT certain hours of the day
The nursery maids are the most con-
spicuous figures in the show, with their
white caps wreathed with bows of rib
bon ending in two broad strermers
hanging almost to their heels, and a
LONG round cloak, often an entire cos
tune. of the same color of the cap
ribbons. The children are beautifully
dressed, like so many little princes
and princesses by Vandyke and Velas-
que, or small aristocrats of the latter
times of Sr Joshua Reynolds and Sir
Thomas Lawrence. There is rs much
regard paid to adapting their dress to
their age as if they were men and wo-
men. The excess of fancy and finery
is for the youngest; the dress grows
simpler as the child grows older, until
boys about to escape from knicker-
bockerS (Which are worn much later
here than in England or with us) are
as soberly clad as little sportsmen,
save for their bright stockings and
cravats, while the costume of young
girls who are not yet young ladies is
piciurcsquely severe. The majority of
the children under seven years old
wear white, often in fultillment of n
vow to the Virgin on the mothers
part. 1t cannot be convenient to clothe
suitably sturdy boy, who has cast of
petticoats under this restriction, but
blue, the color dedicated To the Ma
donna, can be used. There is chill

They are playful and gcsticulating;
their play is like a perpetual liliputian
or pantomime ballet.
Besides these well dressed and tend
ed little mortals there are the children
OF the middle and poorer classes, of
whom an Eruption occurs every day
before noon. The sidewalk is suddenly
invaded by scores of urchins between
eight and twelve years old, fresh, clean
and tidy, most OF them wearing black
alpaca blouScs, with broad white linen
collars and leather belts, which give
them clerical aspect, and carrying
their books, not in satchels, but in
black portfolios called ScrUtettcS, such
as lawyers use for their papers. More
than half these children have no head
covering, "A French custom not con-
fined to children nor to the male sex;

in stores or in banks. Gen. Spinner,
who first introduced women into the
United States treasury, left on record n
striking testimonial to the efficiency
and integrity of the sex. and no one ev-
er had better opportunity to study
the question than he, who at one time
had one thousand women under his di-
rection, engaged chiefly in handling
money. He tcstifies that they count
more accurately and rapidly than men;
that their ability to detect counterfeits
proved to be superior in almost every
test; that they were, without an cxcep-
ton, honest, and were invariably more
careful and pAnstaking in their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part of men were made fire.
quently during Gen. Spinner's admin
istration of the United States treasury,
but such complaints against lady clerks
were few. The quickest and shrewdeSt
detectors of counterfeit money were
women, and in cases of dispute as to
the genunencss OF money, Gen. Spin
ner invariably took the judgment OF
Miss Grandin, who was Tor "A long time
