The Starr King school in Boston
seems to be doing a remarkable work
in fitting girls for useful and some
what unusual occupations, according
to the following from the Ad0ertizer;
1t is surprising TO see how well the
girls do, and especially how well they
do in the latter class, and how natur-
ally some of them take to the use of
tools. Their efforts are mostly in tho
cabinet-malling line, although the first
lessons are in getting out pieces Of
wood for miniature fences, and learn
ing to use the tools and shape the
woods From these they 60 to some
thing more ambitious knite-trays,
ironing-boards, foot-stools, ETC.; one of
the girls is making pretty oak desk,
another an easel, still another an orna-
mental table. There is no play about
this work; it is genuine lSoor; they do
everything themselves, under the guild
ance, of course, of q skilled carpenter
who acts as teacher. They take the
dimensions, get out the wood, prepare
it properly and put it together. The
result in many cases would not
shame experienced workmen. Ofcourse
only the larger girls can do this labor
ious work; but the little ones have
their coloring and weaving, their Fart
in the needle-work and the Kitchen
garden classes, and all have the gym
nastic training under one of Prof. Sar-
gents best graduates The classes in
modelling do surprisingly well they
model from the fiat, and they show
really remarkable skin.

Papyrus.

Many centuries before Christ, Numa
left writings upon papyrus, whence
our name paper is derived. This
plant, which was revered as sacred by
the old Egyptians. grows abundantly
in shallow streams and marshes in
upper Egypt and Syria. Bruce found
it growing in the river Jordan, and
noticed a curious fact that it always
presented the sharp, angular side of its
pear-shaped stem to the swift current
The stein is eight or ten feet high, two
inches in diameter and crowned with a
fringe of hair-like leaves, which circle
blossom Of slender spikelets. Be-
meath the brown sheath which envelops
the root stalk Of this dark-green plant
lie other sheaths which are very trans.
parent. These, when split into thin
leaves, and dried in the sun, were glued
together, and formed the roll of papyrus
on which many of the ancient writings
have come down to us. This paper
was both flexible and durable. Speci.
mems from Pompeii can be seen in the
museum at Ma les. In the fifth cen,
tury, papyrus paper, of which many
varieties existed, was manufactured at
Alexandria, and ranked high in the
commerce of nations. Its uses contin'
ued until about seven or eight centuries

No sooner ara the girls large enough
to possess the requisite physical
strength than they are set to the
most seryile work the land affords.
The child has Il pannier-ba3ket lifted
to her shoulders at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, and she drops it only
when old age, premature but mercifuI,
robs her of power to carry it longer.
| have seen sweet little girls of l. to
n, staggering down mountain side,
or along a rough pathway, under the
weight Of bundles Of fagots as large as
their bodies, which they no sooner
dropped than they hurried back for
others. | have seen girls Of Is or l6
years, bare footed and bare headed, in
the blistering rays Of an August sun,
breaking up the ground by swinging
mattocki heavy enough to tax the
strength of an able-boded man.
And ] have known u young
miss no older than these to be en-
ployed as a porter for carrying tho
baggage Of travellers up and down tho
steepest mountain path in all the re-
gion round about She admitted that
it was sometimes very hard to take
another step, but yet she must do it.
And she carried such an amount Of
baggage! A stout-limbed guide is pro-
tected by the law, 50 that he cannot be
compelled to carry above twenty-five
pounds, but the limit to the burdens
often put upon girls is their inability
to stand up under anything more. But
the bur len increases with the age and
strength of the burden bearers, till, by
the time girls have come to woman
hood, there is no sort of mental toll in
which they do not bear a hand-and
quito commonly the chief hand.

The Pet Beetles of Yucatan.

In letter dated Progieso, Yucatan,
w. A COffatt says: In the market
place, an open space under large flat
roof were offered for sale all simple
products of the peninsula-fruit, pre-
pared food, ropes and mating bead
work, embroidery, and especially the
chameleon. This latter is not, sup
pose, a chameleon at all, except in the
fact that he olives on alr"--that is,
without food. 1t is a yellowsh gray
beetle about two inches long, with
black specks on his back. Each well
bred lady of Yucatan has at least one
of them for pet. With small sin
inch gold chain fastened to his waist
and pinned to his mistress dress, he
wanders about her shoulders for
months, till, senile with old age, his
soul forsakes his earthly tenement.
This well-mannered but rather slug
gish bug is the poodle-dog of the trop-
les, and in some cases he seems to be-
come fond Of his owner saw ono
this morning on board a ship, wearing
golden harness. Pinned on one end
of pillow where Creole was sleep
ing, he had dragged his shining tcther
to its fullest length in the direction of
her nose, and there he stood, silent, i'm
movable and pensive, watching that
precious promontory with alfectionate
interest. The chameleon is the DR..
Tanner of insectania; he has tremen-
dous endurance; his digestive appara,
tus works so feebly that he can live
for six months or a year without a
mouthful OF food. He is literally a
light eater. for the owner of one con-
fessed to me that she gave him for a
monthly lunch "a bit of cork" But
he looked fat, and was probably aglut-
ton,

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


Among tho exiles in Eastern Siberia
the following custom prevails; If a
man wishes to get married he applies
to the governor, who forthwith selects
one of the female prisoners, with
whom the candidate for holy matri-
mony Is expected to "keep company
for two or three days, If at the con-
clusion of this term the male party de-
clares to the governor that the lady
selected is not to his mind, he receives
twenty-five blows with a stick, and
another bride is chosen for him-and
so on. The same course is adopted
with the female prisoners who are in
search of husbands. These matches
are termed "oflicial marriages" or the
governors marriages." and are not
followed by any religious ceremony.

In travelling over the prairies says a
letter from Fargo Dakota, ons now
and then comes across a lonely shack,
which, with its surroundings, wears
an aspect of neatness which dlstin-
cuisines it from the average carelessly
thrown-together shanty that sufices
to prove the claimants right to the
title of proprietor of the $50 acres
surrounding. If of boards, the cracks
are carefully battened with lath; If OF
logs, the crevices are closely plastered
with mud; hardy morning glories cling
around the doorway and creep along
the humble caves, while small plats
smiling with violets, larkspur, love
bell and honeysuclle, transplanted
from the prairies, hover around the
modest domicile, true induces to the
female spirit that rules within.

were brave men, all Of them, and the
people cannot give them any too much
praise. saw one of the officers Of the
Bear, who went on the relief eXpedi-
ton, do as noble an act as ever told in
history. | refer to Ensign Lowell X.
Reynolds, who was on the United
States ship Constellation with me in a
cruise we made in the winter of 70.
"Tho ship was cruising off Madeira
Islands when about daylight one morn
ing they sighted bark flying distress
signals. There was high wind blow
ing at the time, and the sea was very
rough. The commander Of the Con-
stelIation had a boat lowered and
manned at once, and sent it away
under charge of Ensign Reynolds, in
structing him to find out what the
trouble was and return and report. 1t
proved to be the Austrian bark Olive.
She had lost her ruddcr and was leak
ing badly. When the boat came back
to the ship and the commander learned
that the crew wanted to be taken off
and abandon the bark, Ensign Reynolds
was sent with crew to perform the
duty. lie did not return until night
fall. When the boat had been taken
on board the captain of the bark said
there were two boys who were still on
the Olive. In spite Of the captains re-
monstrances Mr.. Reynolds went around
among the men, and, selecting such as
he wanted, pulled away in the dark
ness to rescue the boys. In the mean
while the wind had increased in fury,
and it was beginning to storm. On
arriving in the vicinity Of the doomed
bark they found her lying in the
trough of the sea and rocking SO badly
Jhat no boat could live anywhere near
her. The two boys, frightened by the
storm, were crying piteously for help,
and no one could get to them. 1t was
a dilemma with but one way to get
out. Some one must jump overheard,
swim to the ship and try to get on
board. Ensign Reynolds attempted it,
aud disappeared in the darkness. Fiji
teen or twenty minutes, they seemed
as many hours, elapsed, and then they
heard him call from the deck of the
bark. Tying line around one boy at
time, he lowered them into the water
and saw them picked up in safety.
When this had been performed he
went below, and, getting some kindlings,
set fire TO the abandoned vessel, and
then. jumping into the sea and regain
ing his boat, went back to the Con-
stcllation by the light of the burning
bark. 1t was late when they arrived
on board, and the storm had increased
to tempest.

face and form are the embodiment OF
happiness and health; they as heartily
enjoy q tramp over the prairie in
search of the boundary lines of their
claim as the society girl enjoys a trip
in a dog'cart or u sail on the lake.
They become adopts in the use of rifle
and shotgun; they learn to handle the
harvester as deity AZ their masculine
neighbors, and ride the sulky-plow
with as much grace as their refined
sister would ornament tricycle.. The
majority of these pioneers are school
mistresses, who pursue their Greek,
Latin, astronomy, botany or chemistry
during their leisure moments in their
prairie home during the summer, and
pursue their vocation in village or city
school-room during the winter months
Thus they preserve their health, keep
uptheir studies, and slowly but surely
build up for themselves home that
they can point to with just pride as
the fruit Of their own labor.

Along the bikes in Holland.

Skrting along the dikes, we had a
good opportunity of seeing some of
the incessant toll, some of the con-
slant engineering and battling with
the sea, to keep it at anything like a
safe distance. The dikcs about this
island are perhaps the finest, the most
constantly guarded, in all the country.
The dike-workers are distinct class
guild, in fact, jealous of their craft
and its rights and privileges. 1t is
not the Grst-comer who may be reg
ular dike-worker, even if he should
wish to be. We saw great gangs of
them going from point to point with
pick and shovel, ever on the lookout
for weak spots in the great embank-
ment, ever refacing it with miles of
concrete, and strengthening every
point with strong groins running into
the sea.
1t was almost pathetic to note with
what solicitude Every blade of the
binding bent-grass was cOaXed to
grow. Every little tult was watched
and tended as if it was some choice tn.
lip. The top of the dixie formed lev
cl, firm road, stretching away for
miles. The sea looked so mild and in
noccnt as it gently Tapped the edges of
the mighty barrier that it seemed an
effort to fancy it an enemy capable
of mischief The breezes were simply
delicious and fresh, coming over the
wide North Sea- Inland, the scenery
was fa and grim and serious. Farm
steadj in the far distance looked
green and fat enough. Sheep and
Kline were plentiful about the rich
fields. Just over the edge of the bikes
were the little scattered hamlets of
the fisher people and the polder-
men; the dixie workers lived more of a
rowing life, camping out here and
there as their work called them from
one point to another Sometimes the
wind had blown up and the seas tossed
up great long meandering mounds of
sand, helping to back and strengthen
the bikes. On these billowy hillocks
the grass was carefully planted in lit

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Go slowly to the entertainments of
thy friends, but quickly to their mis-
fortunes.
Genius follows its own path and
reaches its destination, scarcely need
ing compass.
Go not for every grief to the physi.
clan, for every, quarrel to the lawyer,
nor for every thirst to the pot.
Conceit is to nature what paint is
to beauty; it is not only needless, but it
impairs what it would improve.
Experience keeps a dear school; but
fools will learn in no other, and scarce
in that; for 1t is true we may give
advice, but we cannot give conduct,
However, they that will not be coun-
selled cannot be helped, and if you
will not hear reason she will surely
rap your knucklcs.
Few efforts are moro unsuccessful
few labors are moro unavailing than
those Of the reformer who has not
reformed himself. Of the liberal giver
who does not pay his debts, of the
man who, without any special direc-
ton in life, is occupied in guiding and
directing others.
Compliments of congratulation are
always kindly taken, and cost nothing
but pen, ink and paper. / consider
them as draughts upon good breeding,
where the exchange is always greatly
in favor of the drawer.
There has nearly always been a
good wife behind every great man.;
and there is good deal of truth in
the saying that a man can be no
greater than his wife will let him.
Good breeding is the result Of much
good sense, some good nature, and a
little self-denial for the sake of others,
and with a view to obtain the same
indulgence from them.
Contentment produces, in some
measure, all those effects which the
alchemlst usually ascribes to what he
calls the philosophers stone; and, if
it does not bring riches, it does the
same thing by banishing the desire of
them. If it cannot remove the dis
quietudes arising from mans mind,
body, or fortune, it makes him easy
under them.
