American Literary Women.

The death of Mary Clemmer Hudson
! Is the latest breach in American author
ship. She was at ono time tho most
attractive writer on tho Independent,
and Bowen has never been ablo to fill
her place. Tho most interesting fea-
ture, however, in her life, is her init
macy with the sisters Alice and Phebe
Cary, whose memoirs she gave tho
world in very attractive form. Tho
Carys were the most remarkable pair
OF sisters New York ever contained.
They camc hithcr poor and endured
great privation whilo building up
reputation, which eventually brought
competency. They lived, however,
long enough to win the admiration of
the best intellects of tho day, and boro
an important part in founding Sorosis,
which is tho most admirable club in this
city. To return to Mrs. Hudson, ono
is reminded by her death of that bril-
liant array of fcmalo writer's which has
so recently passed away. Among these
may be mentioned Sarah Parton Fan-
ny tcrn). the Cary sisters, Miss Chub-
buck (Fanny Forresto); also Amelia
Is. Welly, Mrs. Osgood, Anna Cora
Mowatt, Elizabeth Oakcs Smith and
Lydia Maria Child. 1t may be said
that Mrs. Hudson was one of tho few
tcmalo writers who won q position in
Washington, and commanded tho re-
spect of tho highest dignitarics of the
Nation.
Tho success Of these clever women
should not be mentioned with. view of
leading others to depend on literature.
Without going into details, the painful
fact is everywhere apparent that both
journalism and book-making are too
crowded to allow any encouragement
Coming down from literature to other
employments, tho female population in
this city is SO disproportionally great
that even tho struggle for existence be-
comes intense. A few days AGO q
crowd of women throngcd public
building to degree that excited gen
eral inquiry. 1t was explained by tho
hct that an advertisement for girl in
an Office appeared that morning and q
situation which hardly yielded n mca-
ger living was sought for by hundreds
all of whom, with but ono exception,
werc disappointed. 1t was u sad spec,
taclc, but such is the reality. The poor
shop girls. or "white slaves" as thoy
are sometimes called, may be objects
OF pity, but not moro so than the book
binders. vest hands. cap makers and
followers of u score of other employ
ments. Type-writing is q very neat
kind of work, but is entirely overdone
Ielegraphy probably pays the best of
all female employmcnts, but there arc
hundred applications for every va
cancy. The only kind of employment
that is not overdonc is houscworE, and
we all know that American girls arc
above tho kitchen. What n pity that
this ridiculous notion of taste should
DC q bar to uscfulncss!-NcWY York Lct-

Two Peeps at Siam.

1t is not long circuit from tho cato
of the Captains garden TO that of tho
famous temple, but even that short
distance shows us n few sights which
would be sufficiently amazing in any
other part of the world. a native
house IS gravcly coming up the river
by itself, tho father steering it with q
long oar, while the children watch it's
progress from the ladder leading down
into the water from the Vcranda. Under
the shade of hugo banyan tree, hale
q dozen barc-limDed, dusky Siamesc
boatmen arc playing kind of aborigi-
nal lawn-tennis, using their feet in
stead of their hands to keep up the
ball. just beyond them, q small ma
tive child, with nothing on but the or
namental wreath which cncirclcs the
brlstly tuft of black hair surmountino
It's otherwise shaven head, is admirinp
magnificent butterfly, almost rs larTo
rs sparrow. A little farther on q
group Of amphibious youngsters are
playing in the thick, greasy, soap-col-
ored water, as Western children might
play on land, while Just across the
river we espy n notilla of light canoes
laden with fruit and vegetables, and
manned by Siameso market-women,
who keep up q perpetual clamor of
bargaining rs shrill rs chorus of an
cry parrots.
But the moment wo pass the deep,
lowbrowcd gateway all this vanishes
as if it had mover been. With one stride
we go from tho present to the past.
The mighty ruins that start up through
masses of clinging foliage, in tho
depths of the Java forests, could hard
ly look moro lonely and forsaken than
this strange old fortress of Eastern su-
perstition. Upon every foot of its
damp, Shiny courtyard, its gafcd,
crumbling walls, its storm-worn pill
lars, its dark, tomb-li1o galleries, its
Hv.oiceloss cells and shattered images,
lies tho brand of grim and irrevocable
desolation:
rho gatcways Of tho Barmccido arc chokcd
with fallen leaves,
Ana in tho halls of Azamat her web tho spid-
or wcaVCS;
Tho jackal and the serpent now their mid
night vigils keep
Who're Nadir, lord Of East and West, once

How to Furnish Bedrooms.

Bedrooms arc moro luxurious than
ever i'll tho modern American houses,
pnd this is altogether tho wrong place
for luxurious or sumptuous furnishing.
A bedroom should havo rs lttlo furni-
turc as possible beyond what is abso-
lutely essential. No drapcrics which
can hold tho dust, no stuffed furniture,
and no carpets other than soft rugs for
the feet. French bedrooms are f,l~nish-
ed much in this way, and arc on.J used
rs sleeping apartments. A boudoir
leading off the chamber may bo as lux
urious and tempting rs possible, but
the bcdchambcr should not be q loung-
ing place ever, lest tho air becomes vi
tiatcd. An English brass bedstead is
always most admirable picce of fur
nlturc for bedroom, since it mbincs
cleanliness and durability. These bed
stcads arc not costly in tho end, and
arc easily kept bright An open crate
fireplace should be in every chamber
in tho house. Tho floor should bo OF
hard wood, with q smooth surface, or,
if OF pine, it should be painted or shol-
lacked and vanished. There should
be no hangings over the bed or at the
windows. If tho bedroom is to bo at
! tractlvc, its attractivcness should be in
its simplicity and extreme cleanliness.
There arc othor rooms in which it Is
possible TO exhibit rs much grace and
iastc rs inclination dictates, but the
Lurscry and bedrooms should have no
pr1tcnsions aside from hcalthful and
comfortable iittings.-Sam Francisco

Gathering Grapes.

1t is sometimes recommended that
The grapes should be gathered as thoy
ripcn, by going over vineyard two or
three times and picking off not only
punches that are ripe, leaving tho green
ones, but even picking off separately
three or four grapes from each bunch
where it is not evenly ripened; and this
is tho practice that is followed to-day
in making tho great white wines of
France and Germany; but it will GER
tainly not bo adopted in California
while labor is rs dear and wine as
cheap as it is at present Instead, that
practice will be followed which is rec
commended by those writer's who advise
that the grapes of each variety be loft
on the vines till they arc all fairly ripe.
and that they be gathered clean at one
picking. Who're, however, different
varieties are planted in tho same vine.

A Persian Spoon.

shcrbet spoon is from ono to two
lcGt III length; tho bowl, cut from q
solld block, holds from claret glass
10 tumblor of tho liquid. This bowl
IS SO thln rs to bo somi-transparent.
ana Is frequently ornamontcd with an
inscription, the letters of which are in
hlSh rcncf. 10 retain their somi-
transparency, each letter is undercut.
SO lhat' although standing up an eighth
III from the surface Of the
ooWl' yet tho whole is of tho same
!,EhC ana delicate texture, no part
thlckcr than another One-half of tbe
surface OF tho spoon-bowl is coyorod
by two clcvcrly applied pieces of carv-
ed wood, which appears to be carved
from one block, But this is not tho
caso-they arc really ccmouted there
These pieces are carved in such q deli
cato manner as to bo almost filmv In
appearance, resembling fino lacework.
Tho handle of tho spoon-at times
twenty inches Jong-is formed in q
separate piece, and inserted into the
edge of tho bowl in groove cut to re.
celvc it. This handle is also eiabo.
rately carved in delicate traccry, and q
wonderful effect is produced by the
rhom mboid-shaped handle, ut times four
inches broad at tho widest part and
only tenth of an inch thick. The
groove where the handle is inserted in
to tho edge Of the bowl of the spoon
and tho point of junction arc hidden
by rosctto of carved wood, circular
IN shape, only tenth of an inch thick.
lhls, too, is carved in lacc-liko work.
and 1t Is ccmcnted to the shaft of tho
spoon. A kind of flying buttress of
similar delicate woodwork unitcs tho
back part of tho shaft to the shoulder
of tho bowl.
Tho spoon which, when it leaves tho
carVer's bench, is white, is vanished
with Kaman oil, which acts rs water
proof and prcservativo, and dyes tho
whole OF fine gambogo yellow similar
TO our lockwood. Tho weight of tho
spoon is in the largest sizes two ounces.
The tools used by tho carver arc o
plane, rough sort of goupc, and n
common pcnknifc. Each spoon is of n
separate and original design, no two
Dcing alike, save when ordered in pairs
or sets. The price of the finest spcci-
mems is from shillings to Is shilfings
each.
These sherbct spoons aro really
works OF art, and arc valued by Orien-
tai amateurs. Many of the merchants
arc very proud of their sherbot spoons,
and being wood, they arc lawful" for
metal spoon, if of silver, is an abom-
nation; consequently, tho teaspoons in
fersla have tiligrce hole in tho bowl,
ana thus can be used for stirring tho
tca only, and not for the unlawful act
OF conveying it to tho mouth in d sill
yer spoon. OF course, these high-art
sherDet spoons are only seen at tho
houses OF the better classes, coarscr
wooden spoon being used by the lower
classes. Tho spoons at dinner serve as
drinking vessels, for tumblers are un-
known; and the metal drinking cups so
much IN use are merely for travelling,
or tho polite deep potations of tho ire
ISious. - Chambers Journal

Curiosity OF Medical Life.

An English paper gives some of the
curiosities Of medical life. 1t is the
duty of one doctor to take lunch cyerv
day at great castle belonging to =
noble lord. The household is immense.
and there is just tho chance that there
may be some case of indisposition dc.
manding attention. Hc gcts some of
tho best company and best lunches in
England, and only charges guinea
for each attendance. Thero is n
wealthy man near great city who
cannot bear to be left for tho NIGHT,
There is n physician of great sbiiity
who drives out of town nightly to sleep
at his residence; he is consequently de-
barred eyo'ling society, and if he goes
out to dinner has to leave his friends
before wine. He has to charge his pa
tient G1,000 ayeNr. One young doctor
