Quite lately fresh a tention has been
directed to the extraordinary remains
which are found on Easter Island,
which lies about 1900 miles west of the
coast of Peru, within easy sail OF San
Francisco. Everybody remembers the
colossal statues which are found il pro-
fusion on this island, monohths repre-
senting men forty feet high and Il
feet across the shoulders. They are
made of the country rock of the island,
but it is quite evident that they are not
the work of the natives, who are a ow
race of savages, without tools capable
of carving in stone or machinery sulta-
BILE for moving heavy weights. The
question is, how did they come there?
1t has been suggested that Easter Island
is the remains of a submerged conti-
nent, which was inhabited by a civilized
race. But Sclater, whose theories are
regarded with respect, makes Easter
Island the terminus of the souther
migration of mankind from his fancled
| continent of Lemuria.
For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with his studies it may be ex-
planned that SclateT was a believer in
| the hypothesis which ascribes to man
kind a single origin from a single race,
according to the Bible. He held that
| Paradise, from which all men originally
came, was a continent lying south Of
Ceylon: to this continent he gave the
name of Iemuria, from lemur, which
means a ghost but which name Lin
naus gave to the race of monkeys.
Sclater believed that from Lemuri man
migrated INTO Africa, into Asia, tkence
into Europe and America, and likewise
into Polynesia, Il stream of emigrants
pushing their way as far east as Easter
Island. 1t Is evidently worth while to
study these Easter Island statues and
| see what light they can shed-if any
one the early history of our race, and
nowhere can that study be prosecuted
to such advantage as n san Francisco.
The Navy Department would probably
be quite willing to direct one Of our
ships of war to collect two or three of
the colossal statues and bring them here,
if we provide a place for their recep-
ton. This exhibit alone would draw
swarms of visitors to San Francisco.

Fame and wealth.

Sixty years ago, and even later, the
shortest path to fame and a wealthy
wife in Boston was a course in the
Harvard College Divinity School. A
previous graduation from the college
was a great, but not Indispensable help.
Its best substitute was the attainment
CT a Harvard Professorship. In this
case the ministerial program might be
omitted. Still, the rich merchants of
Boston, who objected to the sons of
their wealthy neighbors as extravagant
and dissipated, and who were equally
averse to making sons-in-law of their
impecunious, if promising. clerks, re-
garded young Unitarian divines as both
respectable and safe. Edward Everett
found it easy TO woo and wed the daugh-
ter of the millionaire Peter G. Brooks;
Jared Sparks %espoused the wealthy Miss
Silsbee of Salem; George Bancroft,
who was then a preacher, also married
money, and a second Miss Brooks smil-
ed on the offers of the Rev. n. L.
rockingham, father of the noted radl-
cal of our day, the Rev. OctaVius Brooks
rockingham. The Rev. Andrews
Norton, father of Charles Eliot Nor
ton, married a second Miss Eliot, and
lived to be one of the ablest of Unitar-
ian poIemics, assailing with equal en-
ergy old-fashioned orthodoxy and EN-
ersoRian transcendentalism, which he
stigmatized las the latest form of in
fidelity" l might extend the list Of
fortune : winning clergymen, but the
above-named specimens are sufficient.
The professional route to matrlmony
has often proved a very successful one,
though, of course, there never have
been as many empty college chairs as
pulpits to tempt the ambitious scholar.
Neither George Ticknor nor Henry W..
Longfellow was a graduate of Har-
ward. The poet received his bachelors
degree at Bowdoin College, Maine, and
afterwards became a professor there.
He married his first wife in his native
State, and was a widower when he met
abroad the pleasing and wealthy Miss
Appleton of Boston. His first over
lures were unsuccessful, but as all
readers of "Outre Mer" and ''Hyper-
IOn' know, his devotion and growing
reputation triumphed at last, and a
Harvard P~rofessorship and a fortunate
union were secured at nearly the same
time.

there-young Captain Blake, Sir Red
mond's nephew, just returned with his
regiment from foreign service. In a few
hours we were all comfortably in bed,
feeling secure from any further annoy
ance-feeling indeed that the worst of
u troubles were over. and that in some
mysterious way the best thing that
could possibly have happened to US was
the burning of that tumbledown old
house.
Five more wears have passed away,
ard we are in Ireland still, with no i'm
mediate intention of leaving. A pleas
ant comfortable modern residence
stands in the park, at a picturesque dis
lance from the ruins of Abbeylands.
Sir Redmond is no longer master; he
was killed by a fall from his horse four
years ago; and Captain Blake, now Sir
Harry, is master of Blakeville. My
sister Ellie is his wife; he fell in love
with her for her bravery on the night
of the fire.
There is an elderly man, with II
hand, who is generally to be found about
Blakeville, carrying my sisters garden
basket, or leading her pony, or bringing
me messages-a grim, stern, silent man,
who is nevertheless devoted to Lady
Blake, though it was she fired the shot
that lost him his right hand and saved
the Abbeylands rent books on the night
of the fire. There is another retainer
young stalwart fellow with snow
white hair and very feeble sight Che al
ways wears a green shade over his eyes,
Ellie SAYS, because his lashes and eye
brows have been completely burned
awayl who is generally in attendance on
Arthur, and who follows him about
with a dog-like fidelity. Ellie and I
quite believe that he is the mar who set
fire to the house on that memorable
Christmas Eve, the man whose life
Arthur saved at the risk of his own,
and then allowed to escape. If 50, l
think he is not ungrateful.
The people round about are no longer
barbarians or savages; they show us the
simple, grateful, droll side of their
character, instead of the cunning, sui
len and revengeful. Their great griev-
ance seems'to have passed away with
the old house, and my husband is as
much liked and respected as he was
hated and prosecuted before. He is no
longer the steward, but the master of
~Abbeylands; and the tenants seem will
ling enough to pay their rent since it
does not go to enrich the Blakes. OF
Blakeville.
AS for EIlie's dream, if it had any
thing whatever to do with our adven-
lures in Ireland-and she firmly believes
that it habit has had a much pleasanter
sequel than could possibly have been
expected.

When there is too much house. there
is always to0 little home Good house
keeping IS by no means as rare as good
housekeeping. 1t is of far less impor-
lance. A certain amount Of drudgerv
must be gone through with, daily, in
any calling; about three-fOurths Of life
is drudgery. One-fOuTth can be rescued
from the toll and MOL of the world by
management and thought. The most
difficult and the most necessary lesson
for a housekeeper to learn is that She
must assert her individuality. II is
useless to try to please everybody. Many
things in our homes are done directly
with ian eye single To our n~e.ghb0rs.
Work must be pruned down and Topped
Iof until it matches strength, for the
latter refuses to be enlarged by any
amount OF thought.
1t lsanice point to adjust this balance
properly. 1t requires much giving up
and letting GO. What shah we give up?
Az. there's the rub. Everything seems
so important. Things must he kept
Iclean, there is no doubt about that; but
THE number Of things to he kept clean
can be greatly diminished. Wisdom
would suggest the minimum consistent
with comfort and refinement. In many
homes there is an embarrassment OF
riches in the shape of c~OnyeHIences and
petty treasures that must be kept in
order. stealing time that might be be-
slowed with profit and satisfactiO upon
the higher things of life: people, books,
art. nature and all the subtle excel
fences that make life worth living,
MI, v~,,at gC1zra for 1aFEHlf tho HfFaa-
ton of simplifying living in order to
ennoble domestic life. Every woman
knows her own complexity. The same
things do not press with equal weight
upon all. On general principles, how
ever. it is safe to say that
''There's too much worry goes to a
bonnet.
There's too much ironing goes to a
shirt
There are too many preserves; too
MANY rufles and tucks and elaboration
in the making and trimming of gar
ments, that add labor and do not add
to their beauty.
Woman's letters are largely self
made. Carvings, upholstery, b~rasses,
bronZes, that cause frowns, b~ack-aChes,
irritability and heart. aches. are a poor
investment of money and time. Things,
more than people, bring women to the
verge of despair. The endless round Of
Imagined duties causes chronic over
work among women, produces the sad
dest results to them and those DEEPEN
dent upon them for rest and comfort.
There is nothing in the world dread, -
said the Household Philosopher, like
a thoroughly exhausted woman No
amount of personal comfort ever COM
pensates for such a state of affairs"
OF course not. What constantly tired
woman is capable of generous sympathy
and ready help, or OF companionship2
Can she divide care and double Joy?
The better part of the life cries out for
warmth and tenderness, but the women
who should give it are blindly wasting
themselves on material things, polish
ing the outside of the cup without a
thought of the wine within.
To conquer prejudice, surm0unt edu-
cation and overcome habits Of mind and
body, implies force of will and power Of
effort. This same c%onquering and
overcoming is necessary to the true
emancipation of women.

There are a number of Chinese
women in Denver. The most of their
time is given to the adornment of their
persons, which, however, are not rem
dered particularly charming by the pro-
cess. Her head is a sight. The hair
Is waxed until it is stiff and shiny.
Then it is pulled out in wave and pulls
over the ears, andcaught up in the back
with a mass of gaudy wax and paper
flowers, together with dangling orua
ments, colored glass and brass, suppos-
ed to be diamonds and solid gold. No
covering is worn on the head at any
time. The ladies generally earrya par

handkerchief in one hand. Whatever
may be said against the Chinese COS

Water Across a Desert.

1t is Illustrative of our times that the
English government, as part of its plan
of bringing the Soudan under control,
has contracted with an American firm
to run a line of pipe across the desert
from Suakin to Berber to carry water.
The distance is 260 miles and the tanks
will be placed about thirty miles apart.
1t IS claimed that $50 gallons of water
a minute can be delivered by this
method. This will overcome a serious
difficulty, and while it will require
guards along the line, it will not he a
serious matter to maintain these.
Should a railroad be built, England will
have the facilities not only for main
tanning military central, but also for
commercial development. Thus as suc-
cessive steps are taken, each under the
compulsion Of necessity, the revelation
is made of new possibilities in the de-
sert regions of the Soudan. In time
artesian wells will provide abundant
supplies of water; but pending this, the
pipes proposed Will amply meet present
needs.
Modern skill is meeting the number.
less emergencies of the race and facill-
tating the conquest of the material
world The new revelation of means
whereby supposed msuperable difficult
ties are overcome seems to just meet
emergencies that have hitherto not re-
CURED solution. 1t has become neces-
sarv to have speedy. certain and easy
communication with the Upper Nile.
The cataracts prevent the ascent of the
river, and the route from Suakin to
Berber across the desert, is the only n
feasible. At Once the difficulties I
considered. The route will not admit
of the passage of a marching column
without great difficulty and suffering,
The lack of water and the sands of the
desert are the trouble. The water diff
fculty is to be met by the method we
have in use for transporting oil, and the
sands VIII be traverSed by iron rails. /

LOVING WORDS.

Loving words will cost but little,

But they make the weak and weary
Stronger. drawer for the strife.
Do you count them only t%rites?
What to earth are sun and RAIN
Never was a kind word wasted,
Never one was said in vain.
When the cares Of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow,
For the mes who walk beside you,
If you love them tell them so.
What you count Of little value,
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like a flower.
So, as up life's bill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way,
Kindly words, to be as sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word, my brother,
As along through life you go,
