to be useful is limited to comparative.
ly small part of the globe. Through
out Asia, Africa, and In large portions
even Of Europe and America, there pre-
walls an old belief that they were born
to labor. In Turkestan, and on the
Tartar steppes, the Kirghese sultannas
and their daughters, and princesses in
whose veins flow the blood of long lines
OF kings, still milk the sheep, cows and
goats, and perform the mental offices
Of the household, as the Sanscrit maid
ems did six thousand years ago in the
same localities. They cook, take care
of the younger children, make gar
ments, cut the skins of tho wild fowl,
with the feathers on, for caps, spin cot
ton, weave cloth. and tan leather by
means Of sour milk. In this delectable
region the mother wears rich attire,
while the daughter goes in humber
weeds, like Cinderella. II there is q
piano, the mother plays on it in the
front room of the tent, while the daugh-
ter brews the koumiss, stews the NUT
ton, and broils the canal chops in the
back kitchen. This is the benighted
condition of patriarchal people who
adhere to nearly obsolete theory of
filial duty. Similar ideas prevail
throughout India, China, and among
the native tribes of Siberia, who have
been driven northward by aggressive
neighbors. The Tungusian girl gath
ers the snow, melts it, makes the tea
and the fish soup, sews, and, being
skillful in archery, helps to keep the
larder supplied with game. The va
kut and Samovede maidens, and all
who dwell along the Arctic ocean, help
in summer to lay up winter supplies,
and in winter to perform all domestic
duties. The Abyssinian girl grinds
corn in the simple mills in use in that
country. The Kaflir girl weaves bas-
kets and draws water. The girls in the
other parts of the dark continent pull
verize the grain, weave mats. make
earthen vessels and are the hatters of
their tribe. The theories of the tribes
and nations of Asia and Africa are
shared by the Indians of North and
South America, who compel the young
girls to learn the duties and hardships
of life at an early age.

PROFESSIONAL BEAUTIES.

There are three women on the New
York stage to-day who are rapidly be-
coming professional beauties. Sadie
Martinez, who is now playing a comedy
part in the Union Square theatre, is a
particularly handsome woman. The
dealers say that her photographs are
selling more rapidly and numerously
than those OF any other two actresses
In America combined. Next to Miss
Martinot comes Pauline Hall, and after
her Odetta Tyler. All of them are
young women, and they are certainly
trio OF remarkable beauties. Pauline
Hall was a chorus girl. She is now
playing the principal part in the spec
tacle at Niblo's garden. She sings
fairly but is not particularly bright.
Her advancement and popularity are
due entirely TO her beauty. She COM
mands salary now that would have
made her gasp with delight when she
was chorus girl two years ago. Miss
Martinot married Fred Stinson, who
formerly managed Nine. Modjeska
She only lived with him short time
and then they parted, | believe, forey-
or, though they have never been d.
vorced. A few years ago Miss Mar,i-
not was singing In variety theatre in
Boston. Now she receives $3.50 week
at the Union Square theatre, and will
soon go on starring tour with her
own company. Odctta Tyler comes OF
good southern family. She came TO
New York about two years ago and de-
cided to 90 upon the stage. She had
just been married then and her hus-
band was quiet young man who
thought 1t would DO rather fine thing
to have his wife 90 on the stage. He
supposed that after studying week or
two she would DO able to take ono OF
the leading positions In New York
theatre. His mind was dsabusod with
this idea after consulting one or two
cynical theatrical mon, and finally his
wife went TO study for tho stage with
George Vanderhoff. who was yery
much impressed with her beauty and
predicts future for her. She lras
played In tho Madison Square and sew
eral other companies and has n beautl-
iul face. II Is of tho infantle order,

THE HAIR.


The story goes, says the St Louis
Post Dispatch, that the Duchess of MARI
borough, wife of the "great duke"
was so incensed at her husband one
day that, to spite him, she cut off her
luxuriant tresses, which the duke
greatly admired, and threw them in
his face. Few women, however, would
be willing to sacrifice their hair, which
has been called their glory" for any
consideration whatever. So highly do
they value II, indeed, that several he
roines live in history who have earned
Immortality by the sacrifice of their
locks Modern cosmetic art gives no
small attention to the cultivation of the
hair, but on the whole, singularly lit
tie is known concerning its nature and
growth.
When hair is pulled from the head,
1t may be observed that the end which
was implanted in the scalp is larger
than the hair itself This is the bulb
or root from which the hair grows. A
hair is. in fact, delicate tube, round
in straight haired persons, and flatten-
cd in the curly haired. 1t is the fat
ness OF the hair that makes it curl.
Women have coarser hair than men.
The average number of hairs on the
head is about 120, This calculation
is based upon the ascertained fact that
a square inch Of the head of a person
who has an average head Of hair con-
tains by actual count one thousand
hairs, approximately. In early days
the kings Of France used to pluck sin
gle hair from the head and bestow IL
upon one of their attendants as q token
OF favor. The hair grows from eight
to ten inches year. 1t has been found
that 1t grows faster in the daytime than
at night, and faster In summer than in
winter. Light and sun evidently have
an influence on the growth OF the hair,
Us on other vegetable products.
The best hair-restorer known il soft
tepiid water, used with n sponge, and
white CASTLE soap. This puts the scalp
In good order, removes the scales, and
stimulates the growth Of hair.

During the past two years my mother and

after their death, l was attacked with cough and
severe hemorhages, naturally concluded that
Twas destined TO go with the same disease. i'm
mediately consulted a physician, who made a spe.
caty oflung diseases. After examining me, he said
that he thought my lungs were sound, and that
would soon recover. In less than aweek after this

my physician had made mistake in my case,

affected, and prescribed for me for long time.

worse. My cough was very bad, my appetite en-.
tirely gone; had severe pain in my right side.
and for months did not sleep more than two or
three hours in night. My tongue was heavily
coated and had bad taste in my mouth. had
the headache almost all the time.
Feeling that something must be done, at last
concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck, the physi.
clan who, think, ] have good reason TO believe,
to be the best in the treatment Of lung disease.
went to his Office in Boston, and was examined
He found my left lung quite badly diseased and
my liver seriously affected. He told me that
could be cured If would follow his directions
OF course consented TO do so, and very soon
saw that my confidence in his ability was well
placed. took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic
and Pumonc Syrup, all at one time, as directed by
him, and within one month my worst symptoms
were gone Invent to see the doctor on his next
visit to Boston, which was one month after the
first time saw him, and he said Only continue
: with the medicine and you will surely get well"
! did SO, and kept on gaining in every way until
! was perfectly well, and able TO work as usual.
Since my recovery / have not lost days time,
except when have made friendly visits to the
doctor at his Boston Office. Ny cough is gone, my
appetite is good, have no headache or pain in
my side; sleep better than ever did in my life,
and my lungs are apparently healed, as have no
hemorrhages.
These are the reasons why believe in and re.
commend DR.. J. II. Schenck and his medicines.
He did just what he said he would do for me- and
believe that owe my life TO his medicines and

We had fine rain on the 18th, and
farmers were glad to see it. Wheat
looks well, especially that which was
drilled and sown early. Oats look
somewhat improved since the late rains,
but are rather puny yet. 1t is the
opinion of farmers with whom / have
talked that wheat was not injured by
the winter freezes. They also think
we will have some fruit, but not an
average crop. All concede that the
peach crop is total failure, and that
the small fruit is considerably damaged.
The boys of the neighborhood tried
to have some fun the other night, but
it was not so funny after all. A young
couple recently married and repaired
to the residence Of friend, where they
were entertained. In order to have
fun the boys serenaded this couple with
bells, horns, tin pans, etc., but the
bridegroom not caring about this kind
of music, got an axe handle and told
