A Natural Bridge.

There Is a natural curiosity in the
shape of a bridge, erected by nature s
hand, over Pine creek, in TIE TOntO
basin country. The bridge is owned by
David Gowan, and is one of the grand
est sights have ever seen. 1t is 600
feet in width; from the bottom Of the
arch to the top it is an average OF 40
feet; span, 175 feet in length; lower
side of arch, $50 feet. On the east side
of the canon, and about POO yards
above, is the residence of the owner,
who takes pleasure in showing visitors
the bridge and its numerous caverns.
In all the latter are numerous stalac-
ttes, stalagmites, petrifactions OF all
kinds of vegetable matter, such as
branches, moss, ETC., besides bones OF
animals and human beings. Those
which are in damp places are turned TO
stone; others are still in their natural
state. All the caves so far explored,
show by the pottery found that they
have been the habitation of two races
of Indians. In one of the caves we
discovered cache in which we found
ollas filled with corn and mesquite
beans. In another was the figure, IN
stalactite, of beautiful woman, which
some artist had adorned with chignon,
bangs, etc. Mr.. Gowan said she was
called Lady Gowan, and would contin-
ne to observe the latest fashions. One
of the curiosities of the stalactites is
this: Each has its own musical sound,
which is produced by striking with the
hand, and Just one sounds like rattle
snake. On the bridge is found many
kinds of timber, among which are the
oak. ash, cherry, walnut, alder, hack
berry, pine, three kinds of cedar, man
zanite, mulberry, and tree which IN
that country is called mountain cy-
press. There are also many kinds OF
wild fruit shrubbery, the most proml-
nent of which are the dewberry ana
grape. The bridge, believe, has been
formed by the water from two large
springs. which rise about twenty feet
above the level of the bridge, and which
the owner uses for irrigating purposes.
They furnish about 100 inches OF water.
which is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit,
and will take no effect on anything I'M
ill it runs $50 yards from the spring,
where it encrusts every thing 1t touches.

It can scarcely be claimed for the

gcucG Of pupils. 1t assumes the condi-
ton of n deaf mute for the pupil, and
places before him series OF questions,

matured minds, the correct answer to
which he is presumed to know, and to

TO add to the Inconsistency the ques-

Jersey suit-these constitute the favor
ito models, which, under every possible
variation, constitute the fashion of the
day.
The choice of materials tends to SIM
plicity and common sense rather than
to display. Fewer silks and laces are
worn, and fine white dresses, all en-
broidery or valenciennes, are reserved
for full dress. Pretty cottons, ging-
hams, percales, cam1rics, etc, are
worn for morning and afternoon, or, if
warmer garments are desired, ilannels,
cashmeres, aud the soft nuns yelling,
are chosen, especially for seaside wear.
The carnival of color reigns in chill
drens dress, and costumes OF poppy
red, gay pink, rose color and bright
blue are often seen, while dark dresses
are almost invariably frightened by
the admixture of some. contrasting
shade. The plaids which figure so
largely in dress goods this season are
greatly used for children wear, large
blocks being especially stylish for girls
over ten years of age, Ginghams in
these large blocks are often made with
full belted waists, either shirred to a
yoke or plain, while the short round
skirt is cut straight and either gathered
to the belt or killed in pleats the width
of the block. A wide sash of the mate
rial completes the costume. --Phladei-

FOR GIRLS,

Very stylish suit consists OF jersey
and kilt of plaid, one of the colOrs in
which matches the jersey. A scarf of
the plaid is draped over the junction of
the kilt and the jersey. This is a fa-
vorite suit for misses, the colors usually
chosen being dark garnet for the jer-
sey, with garnet and brown for the
plaid skirt; dark green or brown for
the jersey, with green and brown plaid
skirt, or a navy blue jersey, with plaid
of blue and cardinal. Suits in two
pieces for misses are made with polo
naise or Louis Quinze jacket, over a
round skirt, which may be either ilOunc-
ed or tucked, according to fancy. A
pretty model in pale blue cashmere has
a few small pleats ut the throat, form
ING a narrow full plastron at the belt,
which is of black velvet and fastened
with silver clasp, The back is ar
ranged in the same way, the only diff
ference being that the pleat is longer,
narrower and fuller. The skirt is
tucked, with narrow bands OF velvet
between the tucks, and the straight
collar and cuffs are also made of black
velvet.
a princess dress of last season may
easily be freshened and heightened by
combining it with plaid in some pretty
contrast. Thus cardinal cashmere,
the front of which was soiled, was rem.
oyated by means of full plastron OF
shepherds plaid, which, several inches
below the waist, divides into short
panniers, which, extended, form a sash
drapery at the back A puff of plaid
at the shoulder, another at the elbow,
and a third at the wrist trim the
sleeves and lengthen them at the same
time, while a side peating'o t, plaid at
the foot of the dress makes it as long
as necessary.
Tucks are exceedingly fashionable
for children's dresses, and tucks of all
kinds, wide and narrow, in clusters or
separated by spaces, are all used. The
Norfolk jacket, tucked or pleated back
and front, with tucked skirt to match,
is favorite model for flannels and
cashmeres for cool days.

FASCINATING BEGGARs.

One of the latest female pleasantries
is to wear tiny gold and silver plated
money box as a chatelain ornament. 1t
is quite the thing for the young ladies
to wear charity boxes" as they are
called, and, as general rule, their
gentlemen friends delight in being
wheedled out of nickle to help sup
port the cause. The most striking pc.
culiarity in connection with this oddly
is that no gentleman ever knew one OF
these boxes to be quite full, though at
most no one of them will hold more
than a dollars worth of nickles. The
good cause" is said to be in flour
ishing condition just at present, and it
is conjeclured that quite a fund has
been accumulated, principally in the
Golfers of the glove and ribbon dealers.

PRACTICAL PHYSIOLOGY.

In teaching physiology, would it not
be worth much more TO know few
facts about dress, diet, exercise, rest,
sleep, good and bad air, than to num-
Der and name all the bones, or name
and classify all the musclesP The
bones will all keep their places, and
grow just as rapidly and firmly wheth'
er numbered or unnumbercd; but both
mind and body may fare better if the
lungs are not fed on bad air. So the
muscles will expand and contract and
develop and strengthen, whether
counted and classified or not, but they
and the whole system may slacken or
totally stop their action, if the stomach
is supplied with unwholesomc food.
Therefore let the study be directed at
first to parts of the system under con-
troll, and afterward, if there be time, TO
the parts not under control. These
latter may be studied for general in
formation as we study comets and
eclipscs -Educati0HiSt

Another Warning to Young Ladies

recently on a Massachusetts railroad
not many miles from Boston. Several
ladies entered the car at one of the
many stopping places and all Obtained
seats except one. A middle-agcd. well
dressed gentleman, who looked as ii he
might be bank president (not in an
inyidious sense), arose and politely
of red the latter his seat The lady
% dropped into it without so much as
an inclination OF the head or a simple
thank YOU" The gentleman was
evidently indignant. He gazed AT the
lady moment, and then. stepping up
to her, said: II beg your pardon, "
pointing at the same time to the back
Of the seat as if he had left something
in il. The lady arose and the gentle
man coolly dropped into the seat, took
out his paper and commenced to read.
il litter ran around the Car, and it was
the unanimous opinion of the lockers
on that the lady had been treated nc
worse than she deserved. She remained
standing for some time in evident EN-
barrass ment, but nobody offered her d
seat, and at the next station sh,
moved into another car.

EARLY EDUCATION.

MIR. Capei, nj Madison, Wisconsin,
addressed the Educational Convention
al some length. He said:
Elementary education in England
meant that which was in opposition to
the higher education Che education of
the poor classes, who as a rule, can
only remain at school until the age of
12), and he had thought that that
would be the subject of discussion
here. The question at issue would be
called in England "earIy education"
The Monsignor concluded as follows:
"lhere have been some admirable
papers read upon the subject here. The
results | accept, but the reasons that
have been given | could not agree with
