The Legend of the Beautiful
Hand.

There was dispute among three ladies
- which had the most beautiful hand.
One sat BY stream and dipped her hand
iOto tbe water and held it up, the other
Olucked strawberries until the ends of her
fingers were pink, and another gathered
violets until her hands were fragrant. An
old, haggard woman passing by asked,
"vho will give me gift, for | am poor?"
All three denied her; but another who sat
near, unwashed in the stream, unstained
with fruit, unadorned with flowers, gave
her little gift and satisfied the poor wo-
man. And she asked them what was the
dispute, and they told her, and lifted up
before her their beautiful hands. "Beau-
tial, indeed" said she when she saw them.
But when they asked her which was the
most beautiful, she said, "It is not the hand
hat is washed clean in the brook, it is not
the hand that is tipped with red, it is not
the hand that is garlanded with fragrant
flowers, but the hand that gives to the poor
the most beautiful" AS she said these
words her wrinkles fed, her staff was
thrown away, and she stood before them an
angel from heaven with authority to decide
h'questlon in dispute. And that decision
has stood the test of all time.

Some ingenious woman has devised the
plan Of having her curtain poles turned, of
pine, at a carpenters shop, then covering
them herself with velvet or velveteen, or
even with felt. The pole is accurately
measured, then the covering is cut, and
put on with glue. If neatly done, this is a
worthy device. Brass tips are pretty
addition and the rings should be small,
brass ones.

have at last succeeded in raising salmon in

Review of tine Past week.

The festivities of the social world were cut
short by the arrival of Ash Wednesday. No
brilliant assemblages need he expected until
after the lenten season With Easter, which
occurs on the 9TH of April. will come round of
parties, balls, weddings, and receptions. AS
rule. after six weeks of sackcloth and ashes,
the frivolity of the gay world is resumed with
renewed energy. Several pleasant parties have
occurred the past week. The leading social
features, however, were the banquet of the
Womans Literary Club, at the Denison, and
the dinner of the Gentlemen's Literary Club, at
the Bates. The appointments on both of these
occasions were elegant in the extreme. The
'Beggar Student, by the Mannerchor Society,
the first of the week, proved an artistic success.
Paul Bahrs concert on Friday evening, was one
of the best ever given in the city by residents.
The Apollo Quartet will soon give grand con-
cert. The rehearsal of Easter music will soon
begin, and nc doubt the different churches will
keep up their usual high standard in the rendi-
ton of their song services.

An Anecdote of Garfield.

Edmund Allen, in March st. Nicholas.
A year before his election, General Garfield
could have been seen gayly sauntering along
Pennsylvania avenue laughing talking, nodding
his head to this acquaintance and to that without
any obstruction to his progress in the shape of
a sidewalk reception. Those who did not know
him personally were familiar with his face and
name. The ladies had heard his eloquence in
the House; the street urchins had seen him at
the baseball grounds, shouting, with the eager
ness of a boy, his pleasure or dissatisfaction as
the game progressed. While member of the
House he often took occasion to run out into the
suburbs of the city to witness this exciting
sport / remember one afternoon when
he reached the stand erected on the grounds a
few minutes after did. 1 was leaning against
the front rail of the platform, and, clapping me
on the shoulder he asked, 'Whos aheadp

came so interested in the game that he seemed
unaware that his heavy weight upon my little
body was, to say the least, inconvenient He
was constantly exclaiming: Good catch!n Fine

extracts from base ball language, and he soon
grew so excited as to make me feel the effects.

An Old New England Tavern.


Oliver Wendell Holmes, in March Atlantic.
Midway between the two extremties. on the
eastern shore of the lake. is valley between
two hills which come down to the very edge of
the lake, leaving only room enough for road
between their base and the water. This valley,
half mile in width, has been long settled, and
here for a century or more has stood the OLD
Anchor Tavern. A famous place it was so long
as its sign swung at the side of the road; famous
for its landlord, portly, paternal, whose welcome
to guest that looked worthy of the attention
was like that of parent to returning prodigal,
and whose parting words were almost as good as
a marriage benediction; famous for its landlady
ample in person, motherly, seeing to the whole
household with her own eyes, mistress of all cul-
mary secrets that Northern kitchens are most
proud OF; famous also for its ancient
servant, as city people would call her,-help.
as she was called in the tavern and would have
called herself the unchanging, seemingly i'm
mortal Miranda, who cared for the guests as If
she were their nursing mother. and pressed the
specially favorte delcacies on their attention as
a connosseur calls the wandering eyes of an
amateur to the beauties of picture. Who that
has ever been at the old Anchor Tavern forgers
Miranda's
"a little of this fricassee?-it is very nice;'
or
Some of these cakes? You will find them yer
good"
Nor would it be just to memory to forget that
other notable and noted member of the house
hold the unsleeping unresting, omnipresent
Pushee, ready for everybody and everything
everywhere within the limits of the establish
ment at all hours Of the day and night. He fed,
nobody could say accurately when or where.
There were rumors of bunk, in which he lay
down with his clothes on, but he seemed to be
always wide awake and at the service of as
many guests at once as if there had been half a
dozen of him.

Common Sense Teaching.

Popular Science Monthly.
By what arts, it may be asked, do the teachers
at this particular school succeed in suddenly
awakening the interest of children in subjects
which heretofore have not particularly attracted
them! By making them interesting instead of
tiresome. How many children will be attracted
by the statement that Africa is the division of
the world which is the most interesting, and
about which the least is known; or that Afrigah,
from whlch'its name is supposed to be derived,
is said 10 mean colony in the ancient Ph9ni-
clan, and having been given by the founders of
Carthage to their territory, is supposed to have
spread to the whole continent9
But children are ever ready for stories and the
relation of exciting adventures, and through this
faculty, it has been found, they may. be led on
from one event to another of African history,
from one point to another of African topography,
TILL finally, what heretofore they may be said to
have regarded as an unpalatabe dose, is sue
cessfully administered in the form of sugar
coated pill
Instead of beginning at the commencement of
African history, at least at the point where our
knowledge begins, and gradually working for
ward through ali the dry details, the contrary
course would be pursued at the Workingmans
School. The children would be told about Stan
ley and how he found Livingstone. This would
naturally lead to Livingstone. and to why Stan
ley went in search of him. Then would follow
the mission that brought Livingstone to Africa;
the Nile, and various conjectures regarding its
source, and the reason of the worlds impatience
to know it, the Niger, and the interesting story
of the finding of its course by Richard Lander,
after his master had failed in a similar attempt.
Egypt and the Suez canal would be gradually
worked in, as well the history of the continent
of Africa and its relative position on the earth's
surface.

Points About Pauses.

All the Year Round.
Judge Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh
Review, prided himself upon his ability in pune
tuating. Lord Cockburn said of him. There
was no one of his friends of his later acquisition
for whom he had greater admiration or regard
than Lord Macanlay. This judge, of seventy
four revised the proof. sheets of Macaulay's first
volumes of the History of England with the
diligence and minute care of a corrector OF the
press toiling for bread, not merely suggesting
changes in the matter and the expression, but
attending to the very commas and colons-a
task which, though humble, would not be use
less, because it was one at which long practice
had made him very skillful; indeed, he used to
boast that it was one of his peculiar excellencIes.
On returning proof to the editor of the Re
view, he says:
Il have myself rectifed most of the errors,
and made many valuable verbal improvements
in a small way. But my great task has been
with the punctuation, on which l have, as usual.
acquitted myself to admiration. And indeed
this is the department of literature in which
feel that most excel, and on which am there
fore most willing to stake my reputation
Dean Afford fiattered himself that he was able
to punctuate. Il have some satisfaction in re-
fiecting," he says ''that in the of editing
the Greek text of the New Testament, / believe
have destroyed more than thousand commas
which prevented the text being properly under
seood." To this Mr.. Washington Moon retorted
that the great enemy to understanding the
Deans sentences was the want of commas.

Physiology of Painting.

DR.. A. L. Ranney, in Harpers Magazine.
A timid person sees, perchance some accident
in which human life is possibly sacrificed, or the
sensibilities are otherwise shocked. His feelings
overcome him, and he faints. How are we to
explain it? Let us see what takes place. The
impression upon the brain made by the organ of
sight creates Through the agency of special CEN
tiers in the organ of the mind) an influence upon
the heart and the blood-vessels of the brain.
This results in a decrease in the amount of blood
sent to the brain, and causes loss of conscious
ness. In the same way persons become dizzy
when looking at waterfa from height,
through the effects of the organs of sight upon
the brain.
