HOUSEKEEPING SCHOOL.
How French Girls Receive some Prac-
tical Instruction.


"a society lady, Mime. Seignobos, wife
ofan eX-Deputy," says Paris letter, ''has
opened a school for the instruction Of
young ladies in those special matters a
knowledge of which is Indispensable to
the mistress of house, but which most
women only acquire in the severe school
OF personal experience. The 'housekeep-
ing course Of Nine. Seignobos consists of
thirty-two lessons. The first begins with
description of a house; its situation and
exposure to the sun are studied with a
view 10 the hygiene Of the family; the
geography OF the house mastered, the use
TO which each room shall be put so as to
most cOnduce to the comfort and cOnVen-
fence OF the inmates is next to be cOnsid-
cred, and then follow a series of lessons
on the subject of how the rooms shall be
furnished, including a sketch Of the his
tory OF furniture and of the way the art
has been applied by the ancient and mod
efn nations in different parts of the world
This branch Of the studies is carried out
to considerable details not only as far as
relates to those matters necessary for
comfort but also as to what relates to the
decorating of The house so as to render it
attractive. The heating and lighting of
the house, the clothing Of the members of
the family and the table and other linen
used oy them, and how every article may
best be preserved when not in use and
kept in perfect repair form the subject of
as many lessons. Housekeeping eXpen-
SEES, the best way Of selecting servants,
and how they should be treated, the guam
tity and quality Of the raw material pur-
chased Tor food, - way to detect adul-
terations and ihilations, in one word
everything that is In any way connected
with domestic economy is separately con-
sidered, and the various questions arising
therefrOm which 50 often puzzle young
hOusekeepers and are so often the cause
OF modification and tears, are examined
and solved as far as 1t is possible TO do 50
theoretically. The last portion of the
course is devoted to the nursing Ofthe sick
and to the care Of children. The impOr-
tant feature, and indeed, the point Of de-
parture for the school, is that the lessons
are not given by professional servants,
but by ladies of lOug and successful eX-
perience in housekeeping and who have
themselves acquired that tour de main
and systematic order without which no
woman can be real hOusekeeper. The
object of the lessons is not to make cooks,
washerwOmen, dressmakers, seamstress-
es, physicians or hospital nurses, but to
enable pupils to know how all that relates
to domestic economy should be, and how
1t can be best and most economically
done by those who are employed for the
purposes; in other words, to enable each
to be the real mistress of her own house,"

A RAT AFFLICTED ISLAND.
News From an Isolated Community
A Strange Story.
From tAe Neao Yorh Kerald.

From the Neqo York Herald.
The British ship Hectanooga, very well
loaded down with its a1flUent name, ar
rived yesterday. She came from Sam
arang, Java, with the usual mixed cargo.
In her homeward voyage she sailed
through placid seas along the coast
Of the Island of Tristan dAcunha,
which lies almost forgotten
in latitude 81 deg. south, longitude u
deg. west. When the land was sighted
Capt. Byron Robbins, commanding the
vessel, saw a boat approaching, manned
by five men. Signals were made suggest
ing communication, and the Hectauooga
was hove to to await the arrival of the
small boat. The men reported that they
required food. An absolute famine was
threatened. The population of the island
was only 80 souls.
The Captain of the ship very readily re-
sponded to the request for food. The ne
gotiatiOns were naturally in the mode of
a barter or exchange. Capt. Robbins
fully recognized the situation, and ex-
changed flour, coffee and tea for pigs. po-
tatoes, geese, fish and crawflsh, the latter
Astounding in the waters about the island.
The hardy, vigorous, fne-lQokin9 men
in the visiting boat reported that, al
though there were only SO souls on the
island, about 600 head of cattle and 500
head of sheep grazed on the limited pas
ture lands OF the island. The most extra
ordinary story told to Capt. Robbins was
that an American schooner wrecked only
a few years ago on the coast. had in
troduced a colony of rats, and to their
progeny the islanders attributed a con-
tinuous series of woes. The rats literally
swept over the land. They destroyed the
wheat fields. The crops of cereals, full
of promise, persisted before these Vanished
battalions OF rodents. Now the impover-
ished inhabitants CT the island are de-
pendent on passing vessels for flour and
bread.
Tristan d'Acunba is presumably under
British control. When Napoleon was at
St. Helena an English garrison was main
| tanned there. The surface OF the island
is mountainous, and its peak rises to
1926 feet above the ocean. The English
Government and merchant shippers
cruising in those distant seas will, Capt.
Robbins hopes, see that that far away.
isolated colony will not come to grief for
want Of food.

On Feb. 10 the Baltimore barkcntine f.
A. Sanchez, Capt. w. n. Fooks, sailed
from Hampton Roads for Rio Janeiro
with flour from Richmond. A few days
afterwards gold ring worn by the wife
of Mr.. f. NJ. Christie, the first officer, who
lives at 1893 North Thirteenth street, Phil

an unusually heavy ring, being composed
OF six bands twisted about each other,

upon as an i'll omen. Yesterday the Sun
announced the death Of her husband at

in the letter from which the fact was

BLOOD UNDER A MICROSCOPE
How an Expert Cleared a Woman of the
Charge OF Murder.
From the San Franotsco CaU.

From the San Francisco CAL.
"The only instance ON record when the
blood Of two persons was compared in a
criminal trial." said Dr.. Piper to a CAL
reporter yesterday, twas in a murder
case in Chicago. The comparison settled
the innocence OF the woman on trial for
her life. The story of the bloody trans
action is as follows: A comedy woman,
with $4,000, married a man in Chicago,
and placed her snug little fortune in his
business. In the course of time he began
to abuse her, and finally she decided to
apply for divorce. The double calamity
OF losing woman to beat and the with
drawal of her $4,000 from his business
made the bruteI furious, and the next
morning he was found dead in the corner
of his hedchamber, bullet having gone
through his heart. His wife was found
wounded in another part of the room.
She said that her husband had come home
the night before in rage and began to
abuse her while she was in bed; that he
hit her on the head with the butt of his
revolver while her head was on the pillow,
and spattered blood over the linen; that
she jumped up, and he shot her, in1Icting
a slight flesh wound In her side. She
then rushed at him, and, snatching the
revolver from him, shot him through the
heart. He reeled to the corner where he
was found and died. The prosecution
did not believe her story, and set up the
theory that she had shot him while he
was asleep and dragged him to the corner
and then inflicting the wound on herself
The carpet where the dead man lay was
saturated with blood. According to the
theory ofthe prosecution the blood on the
pillow was also his. l put sections of the
pillow with blood upon it under the mi.
croscope, and drew on cardboard the
shape Of the c0rpuscles, enlarged about
1000 diameters. / then put the blood on
the carpet under the microscope in the
same way. The comparison was wonder
tul. The cOrpuscles On the pillow were
bright, round and clean. They were beau
tiful. The cOrpuscles on the carpet were
large and disfgured, the result of disease
The comparison settled that question al
once. The blood cOrpuscles were as diff
ferent as day and night, and sustained the
Woman's account OF the shooting. She
was acquitted on that and other evidence
"As between human blood and dogs
blood, the microscope enables the eXper'
to determine precisely whether a speci

II is impossible TO determine between hu
man blood and a hogs blood. This fac
convicted one man that | know of. liz

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Interesting Description of the Railroad
Loop at Tehaohapi Pass.

Interesting Description of the Railroad
Loop at Tehachapi Pass.
The Rdil1ody Age has been publishing
a series of articles upon the railroads of
California, and the last number contains
description of the famous ''loop'' on the
Southern Pacific by which the trains
climb the steep grades that lead to the
Tehachapi pass, not many years ago the
scene of terrible railroad disaster. The
description is as follows: The mountains
have here interposed a barrier between
Central and Southern California, which
long seemed impossible. Even engineer
ing genius might well despair of being
able to Lead the locomotives up the ire
mendOus grades and around the sharp
curves through which even water with
difficulty finds its way from the summit
down on either side. But engineering
genius triumphed by device known for
ever hereafter to science as the 'loOp."
BY this ingenious method the railway is
made to wind around in a complete spi-
raj, constantly ascending, with frequent
tunnels, and to GROSS over itself at height
OF IS feet abOveFthe lower tunnel. Look
ing out of the window one can see the
track far below him, apparently that of
another road, going in an entirely differ
ent direction, and can hardly realize that
over that same track his train passed but
few minutes before. Two of the most
powerful engines in the world impel the
train up the tremendous incline at a sutli-
GENTLY rapid speed, and when, at 40
a. m, the summit is reached at Tehacha-
pl, and the train begins its rapid down.
ward rush, the traveller feels that he has
witnessed a sight worth travelling far to
behold. An illustration shows
the plan of this remarkable engineering
work, although it gives no conception of
the wild and rugged scenery over which
the train winds and climbs in its difficult
and apparently perllOus ascent. The sta
ton of Caliente, at the foot of the noun
tains, is 1 ,290 feet above the sea level. In
rising to the summit Of Tehachapi pass, a
little over 20 miles distant by the Circuit
tous route, the train ascends 1890 feet
giving an average for the entire distance
of lO6 feet to the mile, while on some por-
tons the grade is very much greater. Ia
this distance the train passes through no
less than seventeen tunnels, with an az
gregate length of 1864 feet. The rrav-
eler should count these tunnels, and re-
member that the "lOOp" or spiral, begins
at tunnel NO. 8, and presently he will
look down upon the track at the mouth of
that tunnel, while his train is far above
it, and crossing at right angles. The
''loOp" itself is 8, 1876 feet in length, and
in that distance the track has gained an
elevation of 90 feet while constantly
making sharp curve. The views after
passing the ''lOOp" are grand and impress
i've, as the winding road makes its way
through tunnels and over gorges until it
reaches Tehachapi summit, nearly 1900
feet above the sea.

THE REVISED BIBLE.
Large Orders Received by the Publish

from the Philadelphi1 Tim,

From the PhiLadelpbiG Times.
The revised version of the Bible was
put on sale in this city and country
Thursday morning. The American Sun
day School Union received its supply at
y O'Clock midnight, and three or four
minutes later was selling the books and
filing orders, with portion of its day
force busily at work. The J. b. Lippin-
colt Company. the agents for the Cam
bridge edition, have had their hands full
for the past week with orders from all
over the country. selling large num-
bers in New York, while Nelson
81 Sons, of that city, agents for
the Oxford edition, have made good
sales in Philadelphia. Demands are COM
ing in continually for supplies that can
not be furnished for at least three weeks.
The public, and the clerical portion more
especially, would not purchase anything
but the cheaper styles Of the revised New
Testament, but now that the revised
Bible is finished finer and more lasting
copies are demanded. Supplemental or
ders are constantly being received for
both the 81 and 81 editions. The Oxford
and Cambridge editions are exactly alike.
The edition published by Harper & Bros,
of New York, is from the Cambridge press,
although bearing their imprint.
1t is believed that the complete Bible
will have a continuous and steady sale
and always command a remunerative
price. A gentleman connected with one
Of the religious boards said yesterday
that the clergy were sending in large
orders, most of which were for one finely
bound copy and the remainder for gifts to
friends. The sales, he thought, would ag-
gregate in money value more than those
of the New Testament.
The book is neatly bound in cloth and
contains 925 pages. After the title page
comes preface of ten pages. The Old
Testament follows in 679 pages, which are
increased in this country to $50 by the
addition of seventeen pages of the Ameri-
