lmeNico Nlty letter.l
The class of women most to be pitied
in this country are what we may call
"the third in the social strata. Not
w%ithstanding the opportunities afforded
them in the public or national schools
they are sadly deficient in book knOwl-
edge. The ignorant parents Of that
rank have some ambition with regard
to the education Of their sons, but deem
reading, writing and embroidery "sutli-
Gent for girls and therefore encour-
age their daughters to devote the greater
part of their school life to sewing, en-
broidery and the manufacture of arti-
fetal fowers-the latter accomplish
ment % seems like a solemn farce in
this land of flowers. The introduction
of even cheap sewing machines has not
yet emancipated these young girls from
the toll of stitching, braiding and fine
canvas work. The professors in
some of the schools occasionally exhibit
q specimen Of embroidery that almost
equals Gobelin tapestry, yet n shud-
ders to think of the years a pupil has
bent over it, injuring her eyes, curying
her spine and dwarnng her mind.
When one of these victims of ignor-
ance, or these slaves of the needle, at
tains womanhood she is weak, inane,
takes no interest in books, is usually
bigoted and superstitious, scarcely I'M
derstands even the geographical posi-
ton Of her country, in fact all beyond
its limits is to her chaos. AS girls of
this third class are pitiably helpless their
future necessarily depends upon mar
riage. At 30 they are broken down by
the pangs and cares of maternity, at 40
they are old women, and if they drag on
until 80 are usually decrepit. Fortu-
nately, however, a few ofthis rank have
now begun to take advantage of the
gratuitous course of musical instruction
their daughters al have in the govern
ment conservatory, and the good effects
of contact with brighter minds is al
ready apparent.

The action OF dynamite in exploding
is very simple. II has no preference
at all as to the direction in which its
force shall be exerted. Its explosive
power depends, as in the case of all
other explosives, on the sudden forma-

1t is certain that great amount of
fetiShism prevails in China. Near
Pekin, few mile from the walls on
the east, is an enormous tree, which
fell more than two centuries ago, and
which has been there ever since. 1t
is called the divine tree, and tenn
pie has been erected for its worship.
The people believe spirit lives in or
near the tree, and should be worship
ped from motives of prudence. The
immense size of the tree is the result
of the spirits energy. 1t is believed
it could not have grown so large with
out a divinity.

TONERS really want what they profess
to pray for. If SO, they must set IA
good example. For instance" says
Mr.. Dana, ''they drive to church in
their carriages when they have them,
or otherwise ride in the street cars.
They keep their domestics employed
in household work on Sunday. They
buy and read newsday newspapers,
and conduct business which requires
Sunday mails. Besides, many of them
own stock and bonds of the railroads
that run the Sunday trains to which
they object, and the greater the Sun
day profits the tighter is their grasp
on such securities, provided that the
money earned assures them good in
terest and handsome dividends"
Some of them are, no doubt, in earn
est, and are willing to make any sac
rifice. The majority are not.

CURED ABSENT MINDEDNESS.

! would like to tell you Of an Incl
dent of Observation-Disclosures that cured
a school-master entirely of this often
comical mental effectiveness. The
bell was ringing for school, and the
masters wife wanted apail of water a
and hod Of coal. To save time the mas
ter strOye to get both the water and
the coal at the same time. He drew
the water from an old-fashioned well,
and getting his hod filled with coal,
he entered the house with his hands
full. He walked up to the sink and
placed the hod Of coal where the wa
ter-pail was usually kept, and taking
the pail of water into the sitting
room, poured it into the stove. The
kissing steam blew open the stove
doors, issued from the coal chamber
and every seam in the stove, scorch-
ed the master, put out the fire and
filled the house with steam. Amid
it all issued the agonized shout of the
school-master: "Blast my eyes I've
made another mistakel" He never
made another one. In the week that
he was done up in linen bandages and
goose grease his mind as well as his
body was restored to healthy con
dition, and now he says absence
of mind is phase of idiocy of which
sensible man ought to be heartily
ashamed. -NOycich Bulletin.

ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Capt. |. n. Scott, the universally
popular and obliging host of the At
kin House, receives numerous CON
gratulations upon the gradual resto-
ration to supleness of his right knee
joint, which has been stiff for up
wards of twenty years. 1t is almost
a miraculous case of restoration. The
joint became stiff from the effect of "A
shot received through the knee at the
first battle of Manassas, and had long
ago been given up as permanently
rigid and stiff joint, slightly bent.
Some two or three months ago,
however while Capt. Scott was TAX
ing a hot bath he was startled by that
knee-joint popping almost like pis-
toll report, and he gave way in that
leg and sank down. He was pretty
badly scared up at first, but on exam
nation, discovered that the joint was
slightly limbered up and could be
used a little. This excited him to
opposite feelings to such an extent
that he actually leaped for joy.
Nothing has been applied to bring
about this result, but from that day
to this there is noticeable improve
ment in the suppleness of the joint,
and Capt. Scott can walk and get
around with much more ease. He
believes that he will gradually and
finally obtain full use ofthe joint. 1t
would certainly be a source of great
relief, and his feelings of thankful
ness would be shared by host Of
warm friends. r. KnorcHe Journal.
Capt. Scott is Cobb county man,
and the above will be good news to
his many friends here.

A BALLOON ADVENTURE.

men proceeded to the assistance of

Ferdinand Dubois, Of the Societe
Aeronautique of Paris, and Bel
gian gentleman named Farenza.
They had undergone a perilous bal
loon adventure, having crossed the
channel much against their will and
quite contrary to their original inten-
ton. The ascent was made on Sat
urday a few miles from Antwerp, the
aronauts intending, if possible, to
descend somewhere near Brussels.
They were, however, carried in con-
trary direction and at nightfall were
carried out to sea. The aronauts en-
dayOred to attract the attention of
some vessels they saw beneath them,
but falling in this NJ. Dubois deemed
it prudent to trhow out more ballast,
so as to secure a high ascent. All
the provisions they we've provided
with were some sandwiches, biscuits,
two TASKS of brandy and some water.
When morning drawned they found
themselves far away out at sea. For
the greater part of Sunday they were
over the sea, but as dusk set in they
were delighted to find themselves
being carried towards land. Yester-
day morning they found themselves
passing rapidly over Il town, which
they believed to be Folkstone, and
they descended as has been stated,
near Bromley.
