BE Somebody.

Robert ]. Burdette, the facetious
editor OF the Burlington HaDkeye, has
been lecturing in different parts of the
country, and in his amusing style he
imparts to the rising generation some
wholesome advice. The following is
from one of his lectures:
"Be somebody on your own account,
my son, and don't try to get along on
the reputation of your ancestors. No
body knows and nobody cares who
Adams grandfather was. and there is
not a man living who can tell the name
of Brigham Young's mother-in-laW.
The lecturer urged upon his hearers
the necessity of keeping up with the
every day procession, and not pulling
back in the harness. Hard work was
never known to kill men; it was the
fun that men had in the intervals that
| killed them. The fact was, most peo-
pie had yet to learn what fun really
was. A mar might go to Europe and
spend a million of dollars, and then re-
call the fact that he had a great deal
more fun at a picnic twenty years ago
that cost him. just Is cents. The the
ory that the world owed every man a
living was false. There was a living
in the world for every man, however,
provided the man vas willing to work
for it. If he did not work for it, some
body else would earn it, and the lazy
man would "get left" There were
greater opportunities for workers out
West than in the Eastern cities, but
men who went out West to grow up
with the country must do their own
growing. There is no browsing al
lowed in the vigorous West. An en-
ergetic man might go out into the fal
West, and in two or three years possess
himself of a bigger house, a bigger
yard, a bigger barn, and a bigger mort
gage than he could obtain by ten years
work in the East. All young. mer
ought to marry, and no young man
should envy old men IF rich men. Ir
conclusion, Mr.. Burdette said that {
man should do well whatever he was
given to do, and not despise drudgery

Girls of Other Landa Mt Work.

The theory that girls exist merely
as lay figures to display fine drapery
and to look pretty is not entertained
among half civilized or savage tribes
or nations. The eccentric notion still
prevails throughout Asia, Africa, and
in some parts of Europe and America,
that they were born to labor.
In Turkestan and on the Tartar
steppes, the Kirghese sultanas and
their daughters, the %princesses in
whose veins flows the blood Of long
lines of kings, still milk the sheep,
cows and goats, and perform the me-
NAL offices of the household, as the
Sanscrit maidens did 5000 years ago
in the same localities. They cook, take
care of the younger children, make
garments, cur the skins of wild fowl
with the feathers IN for caps, spin
cotton, weave cloth, and tan leather
by means of sour milk.
In this delectable region the mother
wear rich attire, while the daughter
goes in humber weeds, like Cinderella.
If there is a piano, the mother plays
on it in the front room of the tent,
while the daughter brews the koumiss,
stews the mutton, and broils the camel
chops in the back kitchen. This is the
benighted condition of patriarchal peo-
pie who adhere to a nearly obsol tie
theory of nlial duty.
Similar ideas prevail throughout In
dia, China, and amcng the native
tribes of Siberia, who have been driven
northward by aggressive neighbors.
The Turgusian girl gathers the snow,
melts it, makes the tea and the fish
soup, and. being skilful in archery,
helps to keep the larder supplied with
game.
The Yakut and Samoyede maidens,
and all those who dwell along the
Arctic ocean, help in summe to lay
up winter supplies, and in winter to
perform all necessary domestic duties
The Abyssinian girl grinds corr in
the simple mills in use in that country
The Kaffir girl weave baskets and
draws water.
The girls in other parts of the Dark
Continent pulverize the grain, weave
mats. make earthen vessels, and arr
the matters of their tribe. The thee.

and Africa are shared by the Indians

A Large Nose.

And so, my fair correspondent, you
have an unduly prominent nose, and wish
to lessen the size of that feature, if pos
sible? I am afraid the evil is beyond
human remedy. Experiments with spring
clothspins and compressors result only in
confusion. While an exaggerated mouth
may be modified, and an expansive ear
concealed, the nose must be left to itself,
naked to the eye of criticism and the
teeth of the north wind. But take com
fort. A prominent nose is not so unloYe-
ly a thing on the face of a lady, and
Langtry bangs and a plenty of fluffy lace
around the neck will materially aid in
casting the unduly prominent feature into
shape. The pages of history and the
records of royal houses are full of deeds
of brave men and triumphs of fair women
whose noses were as uncompromising as
your own. Caesar, Charlemagne and Ma
poleon, Semiraris, Queen Elizabeth and
Catherine of Russia, all rejoiced in an
overgenerous nasal prominence. Why
should their physical antiques, of lesser
fame and broader culture, regret the mark
of distinction which nature has placed in
eradicably upon their faces3 If fashion
| Is at odds with such a feature then the
wise woman will compel fashion to yield
to it, and will avoid the straight-haired,
straight -collared order Of attire which
renders her nose too conspicuous. She is
bound in Justice to herself to do this.
The fashionable rage for novelty has much
to answer for with regard to the desecra-
ton of ''the human form divine" It has
alternately bleached and blackened the
hair, and given to deadly poisons a per
manent place on the toilet table. It has
squeezed the feet twisted the ankles and
prescribed a gate that is half waddle and
all wobble. But SO long as no question
is made of introducing the board of tho
aatheads and the foot bandages of China
it may be assumed that the nose, whethe.
dubious. beakish, tiptilted O ''sharp as
pen, twill be permitted to remain untouch
ed. If you preserve an easy temper, ca
wholesome food and exercise properly
your nose need never cause you a momen
Of worry. Whatever its shape it will b.
exactly suited to your other features, ant
your face will present a a perfect har
mony of outline. Left to itself and no
vitiated by bad blood or a diseased mind
this nose or any other nose, will be pre-
eisely as it should be. Unvexed nature
never makes a mistake in these matters.

What Cinnamon Have Done.

China is nearly as large as Europe, and
contains a much larger population, every
third man in the world being it is calcu-
lated, a Chinaman. Their progress in
lhe past has been most marked; thus. the
Chinese appear to have been among the
earliest, if not the very earliest, of the
human race to emerge from barbarism.
They have a literature older than the days
of Moses, and astronomical observations
that go back at least to the days of Abra-
ham. Comparing their early progress
with that of European nations, they were
clothed in silk robes when our savage
ancestors still painted their naked bodies.
They invented printing, and had printed
books about the middle Of the tenth cen
tury, five hundred years before the time
of Caxton. Gunpowder and the mari
ner's compass were Chineses inventions
long before they were known to Europe
ans. Lieut.. Fl. N. Shore pointed out, in
a recent paper read before the Society of
Arts, that in the matter of canals the util-
ization of carrier pigeons, the artificial
culture of oysters, fish and poultry, and
in the satisfactory solution of the great
sewage question, the Chinese have been
befole us in time, and In some of these at
least, are still ahead Of US in results

An Equine Commander.

The leadership Of a drove of mus
tangs is determined by the superior
prowess and endurance of the candi-
date. So far as we a judge, the herd
selects its leader, and he is implicitly
obeyed as long as he lives. How he
issues his orders, and how he takes
counsel from others of his company,
no mar can tell. But the captain of
the band is a very distinctly marked
character. He is every inch a leader
and he is always at the head of the
column. He is on guard, too, when
the young wild colts are being reared.
1t is he that gives warning on the APP
proach of a foe, and he has to fight for
his own supremacy, sometimes, when
turbulent spirits appear among the
herd.
A duel between rival mustangs is a
fascinating, but not a pleasant sight.
They bisp, kick, and rush at each other
like mad horses, One could hardly i'm
agine that horses could be so like lions
and tigers as are these mustangs when
enraged. The sound of their cries and
shrieks may be heard far across the
prairie, and the combatants will often
be SCARED and lame for days from
wounds received in these fights.

A Talk about Fortunes.

How many flowers are used in the
manufacture of perfumes"
"The principal ones are roses, orange
flowers, tuberoses, the jasmine, cassia
and violet. Aside from the roses the
fiowery perfumes are produced in
France, where farmers and gardeners
devote themselves to the cultivation of
flowers for the purpose. The po-
mades, which are a sort of vehicle for
carrying the essences, are shipped to
perfurners in all parts of the world.
These pomades are all made in the
same way. Several new processes
have been devised, but none have
proved as good as the old method. I
may also say that perfumes are every
where made from the raw material by
the same process"
The perfumer took down another
curious object from the shelf. 1t was
an oxhorn with a cloth tied across the
open end.
"This is the original in which civet
is shipped from Egypt. Ciyet is an an
imal odor and is obtained from a pouch
on an animal Of that name, in which
it is secreted. The best known of an

Tns CROWN Of q Chlld,s ideas.

Prof. Straight, Of Osw SGD, in an adj
dress before the school teachers of
Hartford. Conn. says:
aIf we con think Of the little child,
just born into the world-its senses.
just opening to the world-the eye, the
ear and the touch-of the impressions
from the external world showering
down upon those senses-there is the
beginning. The waves Of ether from
the bright light beat upon the eye and
the child at once distinguishes the
bright light from darkness. Soon
bright colors attract the attention; and
10 it begins at the outset to study OPP
tics. discovering light and shade. Form
next comes into its consciousness.
Thereby 1t learns to distinguish its
mother or nurse from other people. ]
was told Of an experiment tried lately
by d teacher at i Kindergarten. "a very
young child had been accustomed to
see i bright dress upon its mother, and
knew her only by color. A young
lady friend put on the mothers dress
and came into the room where the
baby was and was Immediately taken
for the mother. The child had NOT
progressed far enough to distinguish
between them by form. Other chill
aren were similarly experimented upon,
but they have been educated In form
and color SO as not to be mistaken
After discovering optics and forms the
child begins 70 study sound, and soon
distinguishes the mothers voice from
any other voice. It also learns to dis
tinguish striking sounds from sounds
